Springsteen- Always Evolving, Always Interesting
First off, have to admit that I am a solid Bruce fan. First saw him in the late 70's and have seen him in every decade since. Have every album from his first one to this one, and have enjoyed all of them. So having made that clear, let me say that I really enjoyed this set. The music is fun and it seems like Springsteen is having a good time with this. It is a departure for him as it is the first album he has done that consists of songs from other musicians. This version has extra songs on it and a wonderful DVD that has a nice documentary on the making on the album and four terrific live performances. A couple of highlights from the album include "Pay Me My Money Down" and "American Land." Take a listen to this album and, long time fan or not, this is one to enjoy for everyone. The DVD and the extra songs on the CD make this a terrific buy. There are classic American songs on this album sung by a classic American singer. Really a strong performance.

One Of My Favorites
I love Lion Brand Yarn to begin with and the homespun collection is one of my favorites. It is a bulky yarn that is very soft and makes a wonderful thick texture. Perfect for blankets, hats, and scarves. It is fairly easy to crochet with even with a smaller needle than what it suggests. I have never knitted with it though. The homespun also offers a variety of colors to choose from too which I also like. I have and will continue to recommend this yarn to my friends who also enjoy needle crafts. There are plenty of patterns to choose from with this type of yarn at [...] too. But it is extremely high priced here on amazon compared to lion brand website or Michael's and Jo Ann Fabric. But unfortunately the Michael's and Jo Ann's Fabric stores in my area do not carry the colors that I need for my project and I received free shipping from amazon. The homespun yarn for this brand is typically no more than 6 dollars a ball regardless of color.

Stick With Norton 2003...Ugh
Okay, how can I say this nicely? This product is absolutely not ready for release. It is buggy, slow and basically frustrates the heck out of the user. I am an IT professional and have used Norton for years, but this product is a complete and utter dud.I just bought a new computer so I figured I would install the new Norton with the new system. Bad idea. My new computer which clocks at twice the rate of my old system is SLOWER than my old system when using Norton 2004. Also, I despise software activation. Microsoft already treats us like criminals, but we have little choice there. With Norton we can fight back because we have many alternatives.Bottom line? Save your money. Look for copys of Norton 2003 or simply buy an alternative. This product signals the decline of Symantec and the Norton line.

JAMES TAYLOR/ OCTOBER ROAD
I HAVE BEEN A J.T. FAN SINCE THE 70'S. I HAVE FOLLOWED HIM THROUGH CHANGES OF LIFE AND STYLE, HAVE GROWN OLDER, AND AS MY TASTE IN MUSIC HAS MELLOWED, SO HAS HIS STYLE. THESE THINGS KIND OF GO HAND IN HAND. SO WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CD WITHOUT HAVING HEARD A SINGLE SONG, I DID SO WITH TRUST IN AN OLD FRIEND. THE MUSIC IS JUST AS ANY J.T. FAN WOULD EXPECT. THAT IS UNTIL WE REACH TRACK 12. JUST LET ME SAY THIS WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF SPACE ON A CD WHERE ONE EXPECTS TO HEAR NEW MUSIC. NOT A CHRISTMAS SONG!!! JAMES, IF WE HAD WANTED TO GET IN THE HOLIDAY MOOD, WE WOULD HAVE SPENT OUR MONEY ON A HOLIDAY CD. AS MANY NEW SONGS AS YOU HAVE WRITTEN OVER THE DECADES, WHY NOT SHARE ANOTHER ONE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED YOUR LIFE STYLE OVER THE DECADES? WELL SHAME ON ME FOR NOT LOOKING BEFORE I BOUGHT, REST ASSURED, NEXT TIME I WILL! FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT READ THESE REVIEWS, HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS. (TRACK 12)

Don't walk away from this product. Run!
I put Frontline on my bichons in September, and noticed that they still were getting flea dirt. I applied again in October before I left for a two week vacation. When I returned home, the dogs, who were being cared for in my home by my neighbor, were so infested with fleas, they had begun having a horrible allergic reaction to them. They completely ripped the hair off their tails and left a bloody, scabbing mess. Their hind ends were also a bloody matted mess. After a prescription flea treatment, antibiotics, steroids, and the "cone of shame", they are finally on the road to recovery. But no thanks to Frontline. It is useless. You might as well treat your dogs with water. And I just purchased a brand new, unopened package of Frontline from Amazon. When I looked into returning, I discovered that I cannot return the product because Amazon considers it a hazardous material. Huh? VERY DISAPPOINTED in Frontline AND Amazon. (See my follow up comment following.)

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Somewhere folks have gone off track in thinking that climate change and anthropogenic influences are matters of belief or politics, though those are clear underpinnings to this video and its supporters. Go to the real research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change whose membership is 195 countries and whose report to governments was signed by more than 1500 climate scientists. The information is there. Unbiased. Clear. Unbought. Available for reading and understanding. Denial won't change the science any more than believing Copernicus was wrong made his scientific findings wrong, or that not accepting evolution changes changes your DNA. If you go to a doctor when you are sick, you place faith in the science underpinning the medicine. Read for yourself. [...] If the link doesn't hold up, just do a search for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The best book on the subject
I read a book called 'Procrastination: Why You Do It, What To Do About It' That book was worthless and didn't help me at all. I read Tracy's book and was in total control of my life immediately. This is no joke. It really did do everything for me that I had hoped. To be completely honest: I was about half-way through reading 'The Success Principles' when I read this book. So, that book had actually helped me, too. I was on my way back from dropping off my motorcycle at the shop for maintenance. I took the bus downtown, ate at Subway, and was done reading the book by the time I got home about four hours later. It is so amazing. The solutions to overcoming procrastination are so simple it will amaze you. I suggest you get 'The Success Principles' by Jack Canfield as well. It doesn't matter where you are in life. If you haven't read it, you need to.

Not the worst I have seen...
This movie came highly recommended to me. It was not the worst movie I have seen, and I did sit through the entire flick. However, Napoleon and his bunch were much too flat. If it was only Napoleon that was deadpan, then the quirkiness of the others may have worked. The uncle was the only interesting character. About the only nice thing I can say is that Napoleon put forth a fairly accurate portrayal of a student with Asperger syndrome that also has some serious emotional issues. He should have been picked on more at school for the film to be accurate. I may use a scene from this movie when presenting on Autistic Spectrum Disorder because Rain Man was so overrated. As one reviewer suggested to me, "This movie grows on you." I doubt it, but only time will tell. If you want offbeat comedy, try Office Space instead.

You'll be pleased for awhile.....
Got this Black Friday 07 and for what was paid I couldn't complain. Descent pics, simple set up, even put a movie on there once just to see the performance. But alas just a little over a year later the frame went black!! Messed with it a little bit and finally threw it in a drawer. I recently discovered it again and tried plugging it in....And low and behold it works....For just a couple minutes at a time that is!! When I do get it to work I notice that the image quality has degraded (as othershave stated) and there is a crackling/buzzing sound heard every once and awhile. A quick search of the web and I've also found what others have found, absolutely no contact info for Astar what so ever. Even if you find this on sale or clearance save your money!!! I can't stress enough...SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Not only will this product eventually die but with the crackling/buzzing I'm hearing I would be afraid of something electrical that could build into a fire hazard!!!!

Where did it go wrong?
"Limp Bizkit is one of the hottest bands out there." Ah, remember those days? When most of the music fan population supported that phrase and we were basically blind to the world. I too had that day and a half of blindness, but this album really smacked sense into me. Not in the way it was aiming, but in the fact that Limp Bizkit has pretty talented group of musicians (Wes is good, theres no denying) fronted by a very big dumbass. This album is not good, at all. The remixes, of songs that should have been left alone in the first place, are pure garbage. They're repetitive, weak, and very annoying. The only thing Fred Durst proved here is that he has the ability to take talented mixers and rappers and turn their efforts into crap. At least put some variety into it, my god how many "My Way" remixes do we need. The title of this album should have been, "Watch us make crappy songs worse than they were before" because thats all that you pay 15$ here for.

Great product
I have been using this shaver for a month now and absolutely love it. I am 40 and have been shaving electrically my whole life. This is the best shaver I have ever owned. Before I had to have 2 shavers, one for my neck(a Braun) and the other for my face(a Norelco). I just couldn't use a rotary shaver on my neck because it would leave shaver burn badly. So I decided to get this shaver cause I use a Braun for my neck already and the lower end model I have now wasn't fast enough for my face. This one is fast and I can use it on both my neck and face. Nicely built and the head on this thing pivots very nicely. The side burn trimmer cuts very close as well, the only thing is that when you have it popped out, the shaver and your hand is in the way to see where you are shaving on your side burns. Not a big deal though. Well worth the money. I only use the cleaning feature a couple times a week. Still on the same cleaning cartridge, should last a while yet.

Something Very Special
Vanilla Fudge was one of the original psychedelic rock bands. I remember seeing them play several times out at the Wild Goose and Kinetic. Younger people don't realize just how popular these guys were in "head" circles. They were headliners. Top British head groups opened for these guys. Their music was not heavy metal as one reviewer questioned... metal music didn't even exist yet!! This stuff is what "hippies", "heads", the turned on generation was listening to. This was FM. We used to call it "acid rock" cuz half the people were trippin at the concerts and it was good music to trip to. This music is a reflection of what we were doing at the time. It speaks for us during those days.Vanilla Fudge were great performers with some pretty cool tunes. They might not be the greatest band of all time but they gave us a really good rush every time they played! This album is a momento of some of the most wonderful times ever experienced on this planet... the late sixties.

Looks and sounds Great!!!!
Should you get this set if you want all the Star Wars movies with the best picture and sound yet, Yes! Want nifty stuff not released before like the other deleted scenes, yes. But shoud you also hold on to the past dvds, sadly, yes. The deleted scenes from the prequels that were in finished form on the 2 disc dvds are not on this set... Nor is the excellent Empire of Dreams documentary. That said the extras that are here are quite good. I can also confirm that the animated short from the Holiday Special with Boba Fett is indeed on this set as an easter egg. Lastly, the changes. Did they bother me, honestly , no. In 1997 and 2004, thought some of the changes I had heard about would bother me and they did'nt. Will Lucas release the original cuts at some point, yeah I think he will. But for now this is very well done set worth getting if you want the films in Blu Ray Format.

Great Fun
My son, 2 3/4 years, loves this toy. He plays with it almost every day. He played with it for hours on end the first night we had it. He love playing diego with all his friends. The toy is easy to assemble. It comes apart easily, but can be reassembled by my 2 year old with no trouble. He enjoys taking it apart and putting it back together. The only issue I've had with the quality of the toy is that the flap on the back that gives extra room in the treehouse comes off easily and cannot be put back by my son. Overall...this is a great toy. Take note that the backpack and zip line have changed since these pictures. The zip line is now a straight stiff line and the backpack snaps on to be easier than the loops.

Great place to start
PMC is such a tempting medium, and so intimidating. After all, you are working with fine silver, and it sounds like, well, FUN! Peggy Linial and Lindsay Stoms make sure it is fun from beginning to end. The wonderful aspect of this book is that is is for beginners--helpful, encouraging, and project-related. I'm sure there are some beginners who would rather spend a year doing research before touching PMC, but I'm not one of them. I wanted to get busy and make something. And this book encourages you to do just that. It keeps the projects simple, suggests tools that most beginners will have around, allows you to play and get better. It even has ways to use PMC at parties and fund-raisers. For someone who hasn't had fun in a long time, and wants to make something without needing a long ramp-up time or a lot of specialized training, get this book and start. You'll be hooked in no time!

What's to not like
Oh please all you naysayers. I thought this was a very good book. You know you just can't have the same old thing book after book. C'mon!!! There was great character development on many fronts. I was especially intrigued with the further development of Belle Morte and how she manipulated her people along with Jean Claude's. I was a little confused in the way Jean Claude elevated his status equal to Belle Morte. I'll have to re-read that part.As for Anita, I love seeing her compromise herself in regards to not letting anyone feed off her. Also I have no problem with her promiscuity and the ardeaur. Its handled rather properly. Not smutty or distastefully. I liked how Hamilton further explained the relationship between Asher & Jean Claude and how she brought Ma Petite into the fold. Good Stuff Laurell!!!! I don't care what anyone says.

Great Start that gradually grows tedious and boring
I read some great reviews about this, and was anxious to read it. I read a lot, and love great writing. However, after 200 pages of this thing, I just couldn't take it anymore. What started off as intriguing and suspenseful gradually turned tedious and implausible. Ms. Patchett's characters seemed to lose more of their charm each day the hostage situation dragged.........on.Eventually, I didn't care about any of them. I just don't see how all those men could suddenly fall in love with Opera and the diva. I have a hard time believing that the people "outside" would do nothing for four months - c'mon! Mr. Hosokawa...who could like him? Roxane Coss...diva is right - totally unlikable. Gen...great potential for development until his juvenile infatuation with the little terrorist. I don't care what happened. I had to quit.

one of the best films ever
this is quite possibly the best movie ever made. pulp fiction would be its only runner up. i can't stress enough how good this movie really is. the acting, writing, direction, editing, and least of all the soundtrack, working together as a film are better than any you will see in any movie today or probably any you will see in the next 10 years. it is a crime that kevin costner won the best directing oscar in 1990 over scorsese. also whoopie goldberg for ghost over lorraine bracco for supporting actress. what the hell? the 2 disc dvd is pretty cool there are some interesting features, particularly the "getting made" documentary. it also allows you to watch the film without turning the disc over right after tommy kills spider, pretty much when the movie starts getting really good. i had the original goodfellas dvd, and still bought this edition, for one of the best movies ever made, i figure anybody owes to themselves to buy it. loved this movie, loved it.

derailed
I enjoyed watching this movie. The setting of the movie takes place in the suburbs with a mans caring for his sick daughter and his marridge is on the rocks. So he's on the subways and forget his ticket and a attractive women pays for the ticket. He befreinds the women. ANd goes to a hotel to have some fun with her if you know what I mean. Right before his romance begins with the women. A robber comes in and rapes the women. nwo the fun begins. Now the robber get his phone number and bribes him the whole movie the give him more and more money or he will tell his wife about his affair. But there alot of twist and turns in this movies that you will have to watch and see. People you think that are good guys are bad. I would have gave it 5 stars but the moview takes a while to warm up.

Thank you Doodlebops!
The Doodlebops have had to grow on me. We catch it on Saturdays and I've had some difficulty sitting through it. However, my daughter, 18 months, loves it. I bought this for her and it's by far the best 4 episodes that I've seen. The more she watches it, the more I enjoy it. Now I watch it and can see the appeal. They are adorable little characters. The music is upbeat and fun. They dance, play instruments, etc. It really is an adorable act. This video is definitely worth having.

Terrible Terrible Terrible!!!
We purchased this monitor so that we would have the piece of mind to see our newborn son sleep without having to go into his room to check on him. Even though the phones and different household items would sometimes make it go crazy, it was still so handy to have - until I used it for about 2 months! One night as I was getting ready for bed I noticed that there was no picture on the monitor! The thing just wouldn't work! We could get sound but couldn't see a thing in his room at night when it was dark! I tried it the next morning and it worked fine. I left it on all day this time, but when it got dark out the monitor wouldn't pick up any picture again! This is totally useless to me if I can't see him at night when I would need it the most! I have looked all over for a way to get it fixed or talk to the company and can't find anything! I guess I am just stuck with an extremely expensive monitor that only picks up sound! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

rip offs
I've been listening to metal for over a decade. I read the reviews of this album, and they were good. And even though when I gave their earlier stuff a listen I was as bored with them as I am with Linkin Park, I still got the new one. The vocals are stupid. Really. The songs are completely unmoving. I really, really tried to like this. And even though the guitar is very good, very strong, the songs are very unoriginal. There are truly good moments on this album, I agree, but this band is NOT the great band people claim they are. They are not distinguished. They aren't even easy to like a little bit because of the stupid stupid vocals. Truly annoying. They butcher every song. Lastly they sound like they are just regurgitating metal cliches in every song. I know most people are going to disagree with me, but just like the James Blunt fans ( I like LOG more than Blunt, I'll give them that), they are deluded. LOG is, overall, NOT THAT GOOD.

Useless Eyecandy Packaging, Great Re-mastering!
Just received the new DVD Star Trek TOS 1st Season Set. Simply put . . . the packaging stinks and is not user friendly. I would have liked to have 4 normal DVD storage cases, each holding 2 disks, instead of this transport pod thing . . . I want to keep these disks in top form and this low tech storage pod is a joke. The Bones in me had to come out!Sorry . . .As for the content . . . it's top notch and worth the money.Sound is wonderful . . . and the quality of the video seems on par with the lastest compression standards. So says the Spock in me.Do yourself a favor and buy some decent storage cases that will protect your investment. Says the Kirk . . .CheersCaw caw

The Perfect Travel Camera
I had a nice 5 mb camera with a 10X optical zoom that was just a little too big to fit in my pocket. I borrowed an SD700 IS from my daughter to go on a three week vacation. I thought it was perfect. The Image Stability system let me take nighttime skyline, low light and telephoto pictures with no blurring. It is so small I kept the camera in my pocket the whole time and took hundreds of pictures. Virtually all of them came out great. It does not have aperature or shutter priority manual modes but I didn't miss them at all. The automatic and special scene modes did everything perfectly. Plus the shutter is fast. There is no significant delay to take the picture after the button is pressed. I never had to charge the battery the whole time I was away. I loved this camera so much I bought one as soon as I got home. It is one great camera.

Delightful!
I loved this book! Why? It made me laugh and cry, but most of all, it made me smile. It made me smile at myself, at my own life with kids/husband and it made me smile at God. This book reminds us that "God IS in the Small Stuff" in our lives and no matter what, He's there to help us through it. If you've read the other book I just mentioned, you'll like this book, because it's even funnier! As a bookstore owner, I read a lot of books. This is a great read. It makes me want to have coffee at the "Girlville Diner" and get to know these girls! Hey, maybe they'll start their own chat room and give ivillage.com some company! Give this book to your sister for Christmas and watch her smile! Go girls!

UGH
For the record, I am an objective reviewer. I love "both" of the Black Sabbath line-ups (yes, I said "both, because the other ones aren't worth mentioning....Ian Gillan? pleeeeeaase.)Unfortunately, what really sucks about this "live" set, is the overall flat sound quality. The performance is enjoyable enough. Dio is definitely better on his own material, but holds his own on the Ozzy stuff. Its just that the whole thing sounds muffled. The crowd - who are usually the focus of a live set - are mixed down to the audio equivalent of a vacuum cleaner running in the next room. The energy is completely sucked out of this performance.I'd have to say this is one of the worst live sets ever. It gets two stars because the set list is solid and the band is actually in good form - except the rim-shot king Vinnie Appice...one of the worst drummers of all time. Bill Ward would have jacked it up to 3 stars......In short, don't bother with this one....

Not so "Ultra Quiet"!
We purchased 2 of these because it seemed like a great deal and we figured Haier would make a good product. I wish we had only purchased one first to try. We installed one so far, in a very small bedroom. It is very loud. We had an Emerson Quiet Cool in all bedrooms before this and they are MUCH quieter. The other issue is that you have to use the remote to change settings. There's no way to do it manually, so if the battery dies on your remote, you can only turn it on or off. I gave it two stars because it does keep the small space relatively cool. I also chose this model because of the energy rating, but after reading the other reviews, I'm worried about that too---we'll see. Would not recommend this product with all the other options out there. Probably returning the second one.

Smells good enough to eat...
I LOVE the smell of this oil. It smells like freshly roasted coconuts and lightly scented flowers. I confess I tasted it because it smelled so good. Yesterday I used it for the first time. It made my hair shiny and smooth. As a leave in scalp moisturizer, use sparingly as a little goes a long way. If you use it as a hot oil treatment, you may use a little more because it will be washed out. If you abuse it, the scent may be to powerful for some people. I want to bathe in it. I am Trinidadian with 4C hair, but after using this, it felt like 4b. Many people claim it makes your hair grow...We'll see. I can definitely tell it helps it to be stronger by aiding in moisture retention. I will spray my hair with my water and essential oils, then use this as a leave in on my scalp

Tighten Up!
I was so happy with my new Garmin GPS and wanted to protect it while carrying in my handbag between journeys. This case -- with Garmin printed on the side -- was not produced well. It slips right off the GPS. Now my screen has a deep scratch. I am VERY unhappy about this. Why didn't they just make it a more snug fit? Like put stretchy sides on? Overall, the size is good, slides right in no problem... only it also slides right out again: BIG PROBLEM if it's in your handbag with keys, and other bits which will easily scratch your precious GPS screen. I am very disappointed and have to now buy another case. in the meanwhile I am securing this with a rubberband. Not what I wanted.

Save yourself the heartache
I bought this carpet/floor cleaner, on April 4, 2012. It is now May 14, 2012, and I just got off the phone with Hoover's customer service. The clean water tank has two valves that the unit pulls the water and cleaning solution from. For me, the valves began leaking on the first use! What started as a drip is now a steady flow of water from the leaky valve. The cleaning solution valve leaks, as well, just not as much.The reason I bought this unit is because I used a hoover steamvac that belonged to my mother. Her's works like a charm! It is significantly cheaper than the All-Terrain, so I thought I was going to get an even better product when I paid an additional 100 bucks. This unit is crap. I'm so disappointed I could cry. Save your money, time, and peace of mind. Go with another steamvac.

The BEST Lovesongs album on the market to date!!
This album really creates a romatic atmosphere, and is ideal for Candle-lit dinners with a loved one. Karens vocals send chills down your spine, and Richards arrangements of the songs really tug at the heart strings. Karens life was far too brief, although the legacy of the music we have recorded by her touches millions of people around the world, and especially at Christmas with the many Seasonal songs the Carpenters recorded. This album is a great Gift for the holidays, birthdays or whatever! and is a REAL gem to add to any one's CD collection. What gift is better than the gift of music . . . ? Especially GOOD music!Karen Carpenters memory lives on in the beautiful music that she and her brother created. . . The music of the Carpenters.

Alice Alone
This book was great! I finished the book the same night I got it! I wanted to finish it, so I wouldn't let myself fall asleep until I did. I was tired the next morning, but I didn't care...I finished the book, and that was all I cared about. You might want to have some tissues ready if you're the sentimental type. Some major stuff happens with Patrick and Alice - stuff everyone has been through, or will go through at some time in their life. Elizabeth's secret is bad, too, but I can't say more than that, cause that will ruin the suspense! Alice manages to come through with a clear voice. The emotions she has to go through speak so clear to everyone, that you will feel like you're Alice. Your not reading about her...you'll feel that you are her. Once again, Alice comes through clearly with feelings we all understand and have, but still manages to get through a message to us.

Cumbersome, not very effective, tiring
It will get out most of the wrinkles if not too deep, but only after repeated swipes. Also, the steam repeatedly slows and you have to let it build up again. I had seen some steamers used by clothing stores that knocked out wrinkles with one pass over or burst of steam. This unit doesn't do that. It will work but it will also make you work. Definitely NOT easier than ironing. Only plus this has over ironing, is there is no risk of getting iron too hot and ruining your fabric or putting a stain on it. And no need for board. But other than that, its a lot of work. I'm still looking for a more powerful hand steamer. No more of these floor models for me. I really don't have a good place to store this thing.

Great Book...I could hardly put it down
I just got finished reading "Cheaters" today and I am sad that the book ended. This book was attached to my hip for 2 weeks. Every chance I got, I would pick it up and read it. At work, I'd sneak it from out of my purse and put it in the middle of some work papers and act as if I was reading work material. I love the way Eric could write from a woman and a man's view. The characters felt very real and I also really related to the book because I grew up in the area where the characters were from and I could identify with the places that they went to. For instance, the restaurant-club called "Shelly's." This book is definitely a must read. After work, I went to the mall and picked up the book,"Sister, Sister." After "Cheaters,", I knew I had to run and pick up another one of his books!!!

Do not buy you will regret it!!
Amazon was great as usual first micro arrived damaged in shipping and they had a new one at my door the next day. Now for panasonic. My previous micro was a countertop Panasonic had it for years worked great. I used this microwave for about 6 months when something inside(wiring or sensor not food) caught on fire and smoke started pouring out the vent. We had it fixed under warranty. This microwave has a ventilating fan that kicks on automaticaly when internal parts get to hot.Very loud and annoying kicks on anytime you use the regular oven or stove top at the same time as micro. Doesn't seem right that they overheat that fast. The lights on range hood part only work when they want. I believe these micros have faulty wiring and shorts. The micro died yesterday after 1 1/2 years total use. of course warranty is up so while shopping for a new one I saw this was still for sale and decided to warn others.

These don't work for me!
Be careful with this product! The headphones are not bad quality, and though these headphones do provide some degree of noise reduction, there are some serious drawbacks -- at least for me. These include: (1) When you engage the noise reduction, noise is reduced, but so is the frequency range of your recording! (2) Either the headphones are relatively insensitive or there is an insertion loss even with noise reduction switched out. I assume the manufacturer assumes you'll be listening to heavy metal from a powerful amplifier. Well, I'm listening to classical through a flea-power anplifier. With ordinary headphones/earbuds, things are "adequate". With the Maxell, the volume is inadequate. And (3), with noise reduction switched in, the volume is even more inadequate. For my use, unusable. I wouldn't buy these again.

Wow this CD sucks so much
Wtf is this? Was this woman on her deathbed when she sang this? This sounds nothing like Shakira, and I can't believe this album is an actual tribute. It sounds like they were trying to ruin her music. The spanish is HORRIBLE! In fact, it is so obvious that whoever sang this put on a fake spanish accent (which sounded terrible). I agree that it should be burned. Actually, the woman singing this should be shot, cut up into pieces, having her diced body parts shoved into three suitcases, which would be later thrown into the ocean. I really am upset about this CD. Anyone who thinks this CD is good should go kill themselves...right now. I'll help you if you want. I honestly wonder if Shaki heard this. I bet she cried.

A Danger? HOW?!?!
My daughter has a ton of the peek-a-blocks, and she just LOVES them! When I read the review saying they are dangerous, I had to add my two cents :) First of all, I don't know what the person means by saying the blocks have sharp edges, I have never noticed anything sharp on the blocks, EVER. And as for their child getting hurt by falling on the blocks, that could happen with anything,doesnt mean it's the blocks fault. My daughter fell the other day and smacked her mouth on the floor, causing her teeth to go through her lip. There were no toys around, so should be call floors dangerous too? Just seems a ridiculous claim really. Children fall and get hurt all the time, its part of childhood. After 5 kids, I've learned that lesson well! :) All in all I have to say that I think the Peek-a-blocks are the greatest! I don't see them as a danger in any kind of way! In fact I am buying her even more of them for christmas this year :) Hope this helps!

Couldn't get into it!
It seems like I might be a minority here because I did not like this game! In fact, I got bored with it and didn't want to finish. Graphics and sound are very nice for the PSP, I'll give it that. But over all, I never felt too much fear here. Immersion is the most important part of a survival horror game for me, and I simply wasn't immersed here. I also didn't like the combat system. The idea that you get 9 swipes with a weapon before it breaks was lame. Some might say "well, that adds realism!" Sure... a scalpel isn't a real weapon, but we are playing a fictional video game. This game's only real addition to the style of play (they really did keep to the traditional Silent Hill formula otherwise, here) is durability of weapons. They overlook realism, however, when you're able to carry a TV, a toaster, 3 broken boards, a tire iron, 3 scalpels, a katana and 4 guns, all while running!

Great art project for kids
My daughter loved this kit. She was excited to paint it up and decorate it. The only issue is the mounting putty they provide. It is a sticky clay type material. It didnt work. It got soft and gooey on the door we mounted the letters to and they let the letters slide off the door. Then the sticky goo had to be scraped off the door with a putty knife and then the door had to be cleaned and it was a mess. We went to an office supply store and got some similar mounting putty ( teachers use this stuff in their class rooms all the time I guess ) and it worked just fine. Letters have been on the door ever since and the daughter loves it. The paints supplied were good and the glitter glue they provided worked well. Brushes provided too. Just dont use the green sticky putty they provide.

Slasher film for the community. Such a fuss!
First, I'm a fan of Alexis Arquette. His spot in the film just sends me. Now the movie is a bit..er a lot gross. It's good looking gay men acting out some very sadistic fantasies. Things I have fantasized doing to a couple of my ex's. Notwithstanding, I,of course would never do such, but it's there lurking in the back of my mind. Don't laugh at me, and don't touch my makeup! There is a theory that societies that supress artistic expressions of sexuality and brutality wind up acting them out for real, ie...the Nazis. Those where freedom of speech allows for such expression are far more healthy. We must be in good shape then. Really this film is a shocker, but that's good. It's just a movie afterall. Mind you, the operative word here is FANTASY! As long as you know the difference between real and imaginary, you are okay.

Installs but will not run on my laptop under XP
I installed on my laptop and used once on a trip. But when I tried to use my WIFI it would not work. Direct hook up to internet would not work. I reverted to a restore point prior to streets and trips 2008 installation. Internet now worked but allthough reinstallations of 2008 claims to work the program will not run. I have previously bought several versions of Streets & Trips. Their new security measures have changed me from a repeat customer to someone who's going to buy a competitive product without microsofts customer unfriendly security measures. Don't waste your time with this program. It isn't worth the aggravation. Its much like the old days when it would take days of effert to get programs to run. With many calls for support. I can't find any way to contact Microsoft my program doesnt provide a 800 number for support. Just a web site where you are told how to spend more money on upgrades.

For those who like it live!
I Have been a Commission fan for many, many years. When I came accross this CD I became very excited. Here were the original members of my beloved COMMISSIONED, back together again, and performing all of my favorite tunes! Of course I bought it. However, I must say that I am somewhat disapointed.Perhaps its the fact that the songs were recorded live in concert. My favorite songs did not minister to me in the same way as the individual CD's had in the past. It was as if the new lead singer was trying the "Out-Do" the original members. As if he were trying to make his mark. On many of his solo vocal spots, he was yelling out the lyrics and not blending with the others. This was a major "turn off". In retrospect, I feel that I should have purchased a greatest hits type CD format. Peace!

Heaven Sent
I have been a fan of Michael's ever since he began. These songs bring back such good memories. However, I think the J5 songs could have been left out, and replaced with other Michael songs. Either from albums or previously unreleased stuff. Small complaint though. "Love is Here and Now You're Gone" has always been one of my fave songs, I think Mike's version outdoes the Supremes. "We've Got A Good Thing Going" also is a highlight. It suprises me that I still love and want to listen to these songs. The songs taken from the "Forever Michael" album also are great. I would love to see that album on cd with unreleased cuts. I know there has to be some of those lying aroung Motown vaults. Funny how, if I never hear "Billie Jean" again, it's ok with me. But these songs, are the songs of my childhood and preteen years and sound as fresh today as 30 years ago.

Dimmer Dilemma
I asked for this product for Christmas and got it. I wanted it for the sounds plus to see the time as needed during the night. The dimmer switch does not dim the bright blue window light. It goes from bright to brighter. I want the room dark. I have to cover the clock window which defeats the purpose of the clock. It is useless for me and I keep having to replace clocks. It is fine for those who want a night light in a room. It was purchased on EBay and the seller has not responded to the buyers return request since they already got good feedback... we are guessing. Only a few of the sounds are soothing and natural sounding. I do like the sounds. Both tropical and song birds buttons sound about the same. Now, I have to find a new clock, again. Frustrating...:(

Stinkken
I rarely write reviews but I had to warn you! I should have went to sleep and saved my $3.99 for a MP3 Album Deal of the Day. This was definitely a 99 cents rental. I liked DOA and was hoping it would be similar to that movie. Unfortunately, it was as bad as Street Fighter. It also makes me think of the Dragonball: Evolution fail. I only gave it 2 stars because at least Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa visually made a good Heihachi Mishima. Lateef Crowder was a good Eddy Gordo. Jon Foo made a decent Jin but he's not even Japanese. The fight scenes were wack. This movie was so low budget, they couldn't afford Donnie Yen to play Marshall Law. If you do watch it, then there is something after the end credits. I hope this is redone right! I leave you with a fitting line from the movie: "Defeat is a choice, so is victory." The people behind this movie obvious went with the former.

Crittertrail 3 is a dangerous cage
We bought the Crittertrail 3 cage for a hamster that was bored with our usual cages. She enjoyed it quite a bit. However, she fell from the top of the cage to the bottom and injured herself. We put another hamster in the cage at a later time. She also fell from the top to the bottom of the cage. She broke her hip and suffered a lot of pain from it before she passed away the following week as an older hamster. When we took this cage along with us to the vet, she told us that the height was dangerous, a conclusion that we had already suspected. She told hamster should have a fairly low height cage because they do climb and fall. After these two hamster girls were injured we bought the Superpet My First Rat Cage and have used it ever since. It has been an excellent habitat for Syrians, with low enough height as well as larger floor space. We have now had over twenty hamsters over the years, most of whom have enjoyed the Superpet rat cage.

Awesome Toy - hours and hours of enjoyment
Length:: 0:16 MinsWe bought this toy for our four year old grandson as a birthday present. He absolutely loved it. The first one we bought was defective. Emailed amazon, got authorization for return, and requested a replacement. To our pleasurable surprise amazon overnighted the replacement and we were able to enjoy this rocket launcher the very next day. This toy must be level in order to function properly. We highly recommend the rocket launcher for hours and hours and hours (literally)of enjoyment for any child. See video. Words of warning - the instructions are a bit vague and as stated earlier the launcher must be level (there is a ball inside you can hear rolling around - listen for it to settle in place). You may loose your rocket way, way high in the trees. A strong wind or rainstorm will bring it down.

take a drive down I-95
and pop this CD in and you'll feel like you're on a road trip to OZ. This guy's got a sound reminiscent of something from the past but with something good from the present. The piano riff's are much to be appreciated. The lyrics are great. I bought this CD sound unheard. Took a chance and came up with gold. The entire body of work does something for me. Every song has melody and merit. This is not a CD to bang your head but rather one for a quiet night home with friends over hanging out enjoying company and a good glass of wine without being pretentious. I think Mr. Fisher is a keeper. I'll be watching him from here on out.

It Doesn't Deserve One Star!!!
First of all let me state, that I do enjoy low brow humor in various movies. I loved the original Scary Movie. But this movie rarely made me laugh. My wife rented it and as the movie dragged on for what seemed like days, she looked at me sheepishly and admitted, "This movie really sucks!"The acting was forced and terrible. I can say with some confidence that this did not further the career of anyone associated with this film. Whoever wrote the script, hopefully used a fake name. The laughs came so rarely, I forgot it was a comedy. And as a movie that tried to have a heart warming ending, it committed the greatest sin. "Sweetest" did not make me care about any character in the film.Save your money, don't rent, don't buy, don't even waste your time. Turn off the television and stare at the blank screen; it would be more entertaining than this movie.

JUST SAY NO, or don't say I didn't warn you
I read the other reviews and thought, "Geesh, how bad can it really be?" And then I went to the local Toys'R'Us to check it out before buying it. Looked cool. The box seemed like the goal would be of appreciable size to play with. Bought it. Brought it home. Set it up for our budding young soccer player. Wish I had taken the advice of my fellow Amazoners. We should've just said no!The goal REALLY WAS TOO SMALL after the silly face, hands & feet were attached. Ditch the goofy stuff and it could be very functional--just not silly.Pathetic durability. Don't sneeze, you may need to rebuild.

Not a Gamer, but I LOVE This Game!
When I was in 5th grade, my Aunt gave us a box of crap that didn't sell at her lawn sale. Amongst the burnt potholders and chipped Precious Moments collectibles, sat this game. It looked fun. So I played it. And played it. And played it. Until it broke. And then I tracked it down, bought it, and played it more. This game is awesome! Is it a cerebral epic like Final Fantasy or Zelda? No way. Is it a challenging, action-packed adventure like Gradius III? Nope. Is it a light-hearted, enjoyable, entertaining game in the same vein as Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario? You bet! If you're a casual gamer looking for something fun, whimsical, and not too simple, Congo's Caper is a winner.

Buyers Beware of Adorama!
I ordered these Sony mini-dv cassettes from Adorama and received a similar product, but not the one that was shown in the advertisement. What I received was a cheaper version. Although it was Sony, it is a product produced oversees in France and comes in yellow/orange packaging. These are not the Sony blue packaged cassettes that are made in the USA for camcorders using N. America region technology. There are plenty of warnings I came across regarding quality of the orange/yellow tapes. The model # is slightly diferent too. When I called Adorama to resolve the issue, the phone would just ring and ring forever. Finally, when someone does answer they are extemely rude, condescending, and transfer you to another dept. that never answers the phone. Unfortunately, I am stuck w/ the tapes as I do not wish to pay additional shipping. However, I will never order again from Adorama and I hope that you are fortunate to avoid any transactions with them.

Solid Gold
This book is worth its weight in pure gold. I had back pain and all other manifestations of TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome) for 22 years. Intuitively I knew what the problem was but doctors/manual therapists/accupuntcturists etc.etc.etc. had other opinions. This book finally answered all my questions as well as confirmed what I already knew, but because doctors ect. never mentioned it I didn't think there were such thing as my condition. This book is also gave me a valuable lesson that I should always, ALWAYS trust my intuition and not to give up until I get the answers that make sense to me. The answers will come, one just need to read the signs.Anyway, my backpain is gone. Finally, I can work without excruciating pain and without worry that one day I might not be able to work (I love my work). If you have any kind of back pain, buy this book. it's worth every penny and so much, much more!

Functional and Cheap
I bought this product to take on a trip to Thailand for carrying luggage. (There were no sidewalks to roll a suitcase.) It was great. The bottom compartment worked well for shampoo and contact solution, and other toiletries, while I used th emain compartment for clothes. One thing is that you can't access the top compartment except from the top, so if you end up repacking everytime you want to get something out of the bag. The shoulder straps were comfortable. This is a small bag so it would be better for a woman or child. (Women, watch out for the top shoulder straps that go across your chest. Mine were never uncomfortable, but the bag was definatly not designed for those of us with chests.)All in all I think it was a great purchase and I will use the bag again for backpacking and overnight hikes. I may also use it for a suitcase again if visiting an area with limited concrete.

Caution on the Audio
Bought the DVD - no sound on two players - one Region 1 and the other an All-Region. Tested on my neighbor's system and she got audio. Went home knowing I could go next door and watch, but not satisfied with the option. Put the movie into my Sony Blu-Ray and got sound. The Bonus disk played with sound just fine, but the movie would not - caution! Not getting sound on the movie DVD does not mean it is defective. Apparently, the digital sound system used in the movie is not picked up by all DVD players.Update! Watched the movie - incredible! Fantastic script / acting / filming - absolutely fantastic. The sound issue is a significant problem since it would mean you are unable to view this outstanding movie. Jean Reno is amazing. Gary Oldman delivers as always - the guy you love and hate all at this same time. Natalie Portman's first film - remarkable. Whatever you do, try very, very hard to get your disk to play. You will not be disappointed.

great, versatile bag
I ended up buying 2 of these bags. The first I bought was for my kid's beach toys. It works very well for that. It lets the sand fall right out of the bag so we don't track it in the house or collect it in the bag. It's also big enough to hold all of his beach toys. The other bag is used for when we travel. We use it for a laundry bag. The mesh lets the dirty clothes ventilate while keeping them all in one place. This is way more organized than scattered around the room or in a pile on the floor in the closet. The bags are very well made with heavy duty stitching. I anticipate them lasting a very long time.I am sure there are hundreds more uses for these things.

They should pay you to watch this movie!
The rental version of this tape says a ADULT MATERIAL: must be 18 to rent. After viewing this movie, I've found it nothing more of PG-13! I have decided that the only reason it says Adult material is to peak intrest in this slow, un-original, turkey of a movie. It's all about a vampire working as a collage professor who wants to make more vampiers for some reason never realy explaind. He makes a chemical which turns people in to vampires. Thats it. No more plot. The villian is defeated in the end and our hero goes of with the female lead. BORING!! it was tough to sit through this movie! Take my advice and skip this one.

SO BAD
This is perhaps the worst rap group ever. The song "Where is the Love" is the worst song/video i have ever heard/seen in my life. I think its completly disgraceful and disrespectful about how they refer to the CIA as terrorists. They have obviously no IQ what so ever. Im also not down with the whole guy singing like a girl thing(Justin Timberlake). Anyone who breaks up with Britney Spears has no IQ either. You know your career is over when your singing duets with The Black Eyed Pee's. Elephunk is also the worst name for an Album. I would never waste my money on an album called Elephunk...even if it was the name of 50 cents album. THE CIA IN NO WAY ARE TERRORISTS. THESE GUYS ALONG WITH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SHOULD BE DEPORTED

Can you escape the Hypercube?
The Cube is back to take on new prisoners. Who will die? Who will survive? This time it is a Hypercube. More deadly than the first Cube inCube(1998). More interesting characters and personalities. If the ending of the first film was not satisfying for you, the ending of this movie is quite different and shocking. The SCI-FI CHANNEL just recently broadcast this sequel, but the DVD version contains more profane language, blood and some nudity. The Special Features are deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes, trailers, storyboard and slide show. An alternate ending is also included in the deleted scenes. Followed by a prequel,Cube Zero(2004)

not worth more than 5 bucks
This book was mildly entertaining. His story is akin to reading an autobiography written by a drunk sailor. This guy is not much of a writer, and his story is a common one. The book is about a trader finding out who he is. He's mostly writing to himself, not you. The book is like a journal. "I just couldn't stop doubling up ! I...I...I was killing myself, oh no my wife wouldn't call to bail me out ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!! You must have discipline ! You need discipline !" hahahaha....How many times have you (if you're a trader) heard crap like that ? Same old song and dance that you read in almost any trading book...nothing profound or enlightening, and you will not learn anything. You never learn much of anything in trading until you've lived as a trader.

Far less useful than promised in its description & marketing materials....
We are so disappointed. I ordered a LightWedge Original for each of us, as we like to read in bed, on airplanes, etc. They just arrived last week. We so wanted to love this product. However, it doesn't illuminate the whole page as described but just radiates one thin pale strip of light at the spine and around the edges, plus it throws a couple thin horizontal strips of light across the page. Talk about eye strain! I see some of the happy reviewers mentioned having two brightness settings. Our model has only an "on/off" switch. I expressed my disappointment & displeasure in an email to the manufacturer but got only a response suggesting we'd either used old, weak batteries or inserted them wrong. I replied that the batteries were fresh from the package, etc., but have had no further communication from them.This product is woefully overpriced for what you get. I'll be shipping them back to Amazon and asking for a refund.

YOU MUST READ THESE STORIES - A great book! EXCELLENT!
A collection of perfectly written, evocative and humorous short stories. They are all great. Especially the one about the little kid protecting his family with his dad's gun. And the one about the petting zoo (which wins an award from me for the description of the smell of pesticide by an accidentally poisoned farmer: "chocolate hairspray.") What more could you ask for? This book is a find. I can't recommend it highly enough (nor can I remember how to spell reccomend). You will not be disappointed. Funny - smart - beautiful - great. Get this book. Then email me and we can talk about how great it is!

Iffy
I personally don't like these thermometers. I got this one when I bought a tank. It's not all that easy to read. Sometimes, three bars are colored, making you wonder "Which one is the right temperature?" It doesn't have a very high range, either. I suggest a real thermometer. They're easier to read and come in huge scales. What happens if you heater overworks and the tank is at 100 degrees? You can't tell. It happened to me before, and let me tell you, it was horrible. Like I said, don't get this one. Use the $2 you'd spend on this one to buy a real thermometer. Bigger range, easier to read, and comes at about the same price.

Sony VCRs are NOT what they used to be
I viewed tapes on several of these machines (Sony SLV-N51) over the weekend. I was not pleased with the picture at all. Picture playback is what it should really be all about. All of these units I played pre-recorded tapes (SP mode) on looked grainy or almost like I was seeing double (hard to explain). The picture just did not look right. I played HOW THE WEST WAS WON, SPARTACUS and Disney's THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. The animated HUNCHBACK looked best. If you watch animated movies I suppose it did not look all that bad. It's difficult to recommend this Sony unit. This is very disappointing and unfortunate. I am getting the impression that manufacturers are letting their VCR lines get out the door with very little QA involvement. That is a shame.

I don't recommend it
This DVD can be summarized easily in a couple of sentences: "1. There are many living creatures today which look very much like some fossils found in the dinosaur fossil layer. 2. It means that evolution never happened". I have many problems with this DVD. First, the pseudoscientific method they used in their research: a doctor (MD), not a paleontologist, went from museum to museum taking photos of fossils. Then he compared the pictures to the existing species. This is it, more or less. The authors did not use any scientific method, they simply relied on their eyes. The authors of the DVD don't mention any intermediate animals, such as tiktaalik (see Neil Shubin). In addition, they hint on some global paleontologic museum-conspiracy, that is, deliberately not displaying fossils of living species to the public. I also have a PhD, but having a doctoral degree does not qualify anyone to mislead the public.

Visible improvement but not a miracle cure
I have been using Hylexin twice a day for several years. I used to look like a walking corpse. People used to ask me if I'd actually been hit. With Hylexin, there is a noticable improvement. I lost that "dead" look. It is not a miracle cure for dark circles. I still have plenty left. But I do see a noticable improvement. I've tried Eyevive (no results), Deravera (no results), Belli eye Brightening Cream (no results), Hydrolyze (made the dark circles worse) and Roots Herbal (which made my eyes INCREDIBLY WORSE). Hylexin is the only product that made any improvement. It also eliminates all under eye puffiness.

Great Premise - but doesn't deliver
The concept behind the book was excellent, however, it went nowhere. The first 100 pages were okay. Not great or gripping, but okay. Then the author droned on about who blew up the ship and why and how this one junior navy officer was going to figure out the whole thing. The story just did not hold my interest. I will also concur with another reviewer that the dialogue between the bad guys was hideous. I felt embarrased. Anyway, there are way to many GOOD book out there so I gave up on this one, something I rarely do. The book really needs to be a stinker before I bail. This was. Avoid it.If I could give this 1/2 a star I would

not that scary
this movie is really not that scary. The first two stories are kinda boring. No scary stuff, no blood, no nothing interesting. The third story is a little bit boring too, but it's the best out of all three. If you seen trilogy of terror 2, then you know the doll has loud yells, and there is a part where you see the doll kill a guy, and there's blood. In trilogy of terror, all it shows is the doll chasing amelia around the apartment trying to kill her and stabbing her a few times. The end of the movie is the best part of the movie. after the doll burns in the oven, amelia opens it to see if it's dead and she gets possessed. she then calls her mom and tells her to come over and amelia waits in front of the door pounding a knife on the ground with a creepy look and CREEP-AY teeth. If you want scary see trilogy of terror 2. It's way more scarier than the first, and the stories are interesting and cool.

Rock & Doris redux
I can't fathom why this had so much hype. There was certainly nothing special about it-just another updated Hudson/Day flick, except with "NEW! IMPROVED! SEX SCENES!" Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga *BOTH* nominated for BSA? Really?? Schmooze away and you'll get a Nomination! I guess it really is about Academy politics. As Mo'Nique said, "I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics." I was relieved when she won. The performances here were not nomination-worthy, just average. Clooney was fine, again nothing special. Pair this withThe Hurt Locker(not as over-hyped but just as over-rated) and it's tedium at it's finest.

No emotional depth; uninspiring
My book club accidentally shipped me "Don't Look Back." As it looked mildly interesting and I hadn't read Amanda Quick before, I kept it. Then I realized I needed to read "Slightly Shady" first. So I bought it and was truly disappointed. The characters, what I could make of them (with little written about their physical characteristics), were uninspiring. There was little emotional depth to the story. You hardly ever saw what the characters are thinking or feeling. I just could not get to know or even like Lavinia or Tobias. I did read both books, and by the end of "Don't Look Back" I was mildly amused by the dialogue. So I give 2 stars for good dialogue and great plotting. That's all these two books have going for them.

Is this Casual?
O.K. I'm a huge Hieroglyphics fan, and I want to know what happened to Casual? I've been looking forward to this album for years and I'm really disapointed. Almost every song is about "going to the club, lookin' for a woman to rub". Not your typical Hiero sound at all. Just listen to the sound clips and see for yourself. What happened to the song "Turkey and Dressing"? This song alone could have saved the album. I also believe that leaving the production on the whole album to Domino could have saved it as well. Hopefully on his future collaboration album with Del, called "The Smash Brothers", he will sound different.I'm sure some people will still like this album, but your average Hiero fan will be shaking his/her head in disbelief.If you want really good Hieroglyphics, pick up Pep Love, Souls of Mischief, Del the funky homosapien, or the family album titled 3rd Eye Vision.Casual gets 2 stars from me. Sorry Casual, but your not "The Same O.G."

BEWARE! DON'T BUY THIS CARD! NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS
I'm not trying to pigeon-hole Linksys here, but let's be real. I've purchased 4 different Wireless-G cards, and installed them in every PCI slot in 3 different systems, with the systems running both Windows 98SE and Windows XP, and have had nothing but problems. They don't work. Yes, I have installed them in much newer systems running XP-Pro, and they worked. That's what prompted me to recommend this Linksys setup to another client running slightly older hardware. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! Linksys tech. support is absolutely horrible. In the end, the Linksys tech told me to purchase cards from another manufacturer! NO KIDDING HERE!!!! Talk about a lesson learned. I very much recommend you stay the hell away from these particular cards.

Product is great their CUSTOMER SIERICE STINKS!
Unfortunately my Plextor CDRW arrived with pages 17 through 32 missing from the Operators Manual. I contacted Plextor by phone, was put on hold for an unbelievable length of time then a recording told me to leave a message and my call would be returned. I left a message complete with my name area code and phone number. The call was NEVER returned. Then I emailed Amazon. com's customer Service. Plextor ignored Amazon's first 2 requests for attention. Amazon has been great about helping me. I have emailed Plextor 5 times for assistance. Finally I believe Plextor is going to snail mail another manual. I really like my Plextor CDRW but their customer service is awful!

Why was this movie made?
This movie was actually made in 1967, not 1987. It was discovered in a can right after SNDN 1 was made, and what luck. Oh, the luck. The flashbacks were an exact fit with the 1984 "prequel" and the modernistic cars they used in '67 just happened to have been manufactured and sold, providing a seamless mesh with the prequel. The original purpose of this movie was two-fold: First, it was of course produced by the California Teachers Association in an effort to inspire children to make greater efforts to complete their homework assignments while at home, instead of watching movies. Second, it was to presell SNDN 3 through the use of Sister Mary. Whoa! We hope SHE will be back. Her 5-star scream at the end of this 1-star movie is all that kept the censors from killing this product due to X-rated dreariness. LATE_BREAKING GOOD NEWS! THIS VHS TREASURE IS OUT OF PRINT

Time for beauty
My husband picked this out for our new computer, because it is much more elegant than the one we had before. He got the computer desk first, put it together and loved it. He then sent me back to get the hutch. That is when we hit the problem. I went back to the store 4 times to get 4 different hutches, ALL broken. Finally I called the manager and spoke with her and let her know what was going on and she not only gave me a discount but she put it together. She also had trouble finding one that wasn't broken from being mishandled. We have had ours now for 2 months and we use it all of the time. And we love it. Plus we always get complements on it. We have since bought the File cabinet ( love it) and the bookshelves ( which we took back do to their unstability). But over all we love what we got. And Target redemed themselves by what that manager did, thank you.

Wat cha workin wit....
Well I will tell you that Ms. Whitaker is working with real talent. The first book, Flip Side of the Game was a great read, but this book is a testimony to the coming out of a great author. This book, is the dessert that you will never forget, the added touch. I truly enoyed this book. The sub characters were developed and took on a life of their own. This book is a fantastic follow-up. I laughed so hard and cried as well. I would suggest that you read both books together, for the full effect. It seems like the characters just came alive. I enjoyed reading and this book just reaffirmed why I love books. Go ahead and get your read on with Vera, Taj, Aunt Cookie,Uncle Boy, Rowanda and the girlfriends. This book is destined to be a movie. Spike Lee and Queen Latifa, needs to jump on the rights to this story, RIGHT NOW!

Now that I have these it seems Stupid that I was Ordering Cards!
I love these! So easy to use! I am so happy with them. When I run out I have every intention of getting more. The instructions are clear, making this a quick set up. Anytime I need to print some cards, I just open up the file & print the cards. Simple as that. They snap apart really well. I have never had any tear. There is no way I will buy business cards again! I now have my own artwork, I love my cards & all it costs is the package of cards, some ink & a tiny amount of my time.Highly recommend!

The best band that never made it big!!
I never got the chance to see Cactus. I was reading about Rusty Day. There was a little ditty about Cactus. I listened to the snippets. I bought it. Mano-o-man!! I was blown away. Most of the songs are really good. Parchment farm live is as good as it gets. Starts out good gets better. At the end, it gets some distortion. The sound guy do better. Listen and Buy. You won't be disapointed. Thats the truth.

WOW (as in it's terrible)
I have only listened to this cd a couple times, and that was 2 times too many. I was a pretty big Blink fan before I heard this cd. I don't care about whether they are punk rock or not (they're not) as long as the music is good. I used to think the music is good. I don't mind stupid lyrics and untalented musicians (Travis is good) as long as the songs are infectious and amusing. However, I guess the boys got tired of being called un-talented and got tired of hearing how much they sucked live, and have tried very hard to become "artists." Bad idea. This cd is so bad. I really can't understand how it's popular. It's slow, annoying, not catchy. And there is a long part where a girl reads a letter out loud, to no kind of rhythm or anything, it's just talking. Now who in their right mind could call that music, and even more, enjoy it?! Wow. Please, go back to your old style of music, good lord.

Love it! A must have!
I was not sure if my baby needed more stimulation especially while sleeping when I purchased this mobile. Thank goodness I did! The soothing nature or classical music is not cheap sounding. The animals are soft and engaging for baby to watch. Nightlight is available if you choose. I found that the combination of the quiet music and gentle animal movement is a great que for bedtime. Sometimes she just watches the animals quietly until she falls asleep. The mobile function did stop working, frustration gallor. However, with one quick request from amazon we had our replacement the NEXT DAY! She is 9 months and still enjoying this mobile as are her parents! =)

Carry on my wayward Band
Wow, Kansas, what a great band. I first heard the song, "Carry on my wayward son" in my car late at night driving my somewhat intoxicated friend home. I thought that I remembered it from somewhere else but im not sure. Kansas is great. So not too long after hearing the song, I went out and bought the album. I began to listen and it got better and better every time. Kansas combines the rock and roll sounds of the late 70's and early 80's along with an entirely different synthetic sound to produce incredible works of music. It's great. Unfortunately, while working on my stereo at boarding school, the cd was sitting on my dresser, and a flashlight dropped from my hands and cracked the cd. That is why I am here tonight writing this and buying the cd again. Yeah Kansas!

Great Game
I ordered this game because I love B.M.X freestyle! You can choose many different things to do with parks that YOU get to create! Choose from over 10 different Pro B.M.X champs and pull off some of the sickest tricks you can imagine. I got this for my Birthday, and let me tell you that turning 28 hasn't stopped me from wanting to grind a rail, pull off some sick park tricks ..or get mad air when hitting the half-pipes in a one on one against Matt Hoffman? Turning out some 'Street Ballet' freestyle that's finesse and powerful at the same time? Sick is all that I have to say. I got the game in good time however it didn't work upon getting it, so I was bummed! However..This seller was on top of the game as soon as I informed him of the problem! He was on me the very next day and is in the process of exchanging the item,No Questions Asked? Ya, like that happens a lot.. I'll be doing business with a seller like that all day long.

Amazing stuff!
Everyone waited for this CD with such anticipation after hearing the first demo. Did it reach the expectations? heck, yeah. Morbid Angel never kicked so much ass. This is as good as "Blessed..."/"Covenant"...even better! "Altars" contains some of my favorite metal tunes. Maze of Torment and Chapel of Ghouls are masterpieces. Period. AoM is pure genius. This record contains riffs that influenced a hundred bands and spawned a new generation of metal. While the production could've been better, this one of the best metal albums in history.

BEST TALLEY CD EVER!!!!!!!!!
This project by Lauren Talley is the best Talley anything. I ordered the complete soundtracks from this CD and sing at least 2 songs from this every time. My favorite songs on this CD are "Then and There" and "I Thank you Lord". But I love each and every song on this CD. Lauren Talley is a very unique individual. She can really get a crowd into her music and gospel all in one. Plus, she's very pretty. I recomend this CD to anyone who likes true-blue southern gospel. I also recomend her other 2 solo projects: "Surrender" and "I Live". They are good, but this one is the best!!!!!!

Dutch Blitz is wunderbar!
This game is so much fun. This is my 8th purchase of this game. I'm giving it to my friends. We have a group that meets Friday nights to play it. I bought it as a "gag gift" last Christmas from my husband to my grandson as my husband's family lives in Penna. Dutch country and several of the relatives speak it somewhat. It was a blast and I am hooked. I play it almost every night. It gets hectic with more than 4 people but since I have two sets of my own I have played it with 6. I mark the backs of one set with an X so we can sort them at the end. My goal at retirement is to spread it to all 50 states. I have introduced it in N.Y., Calif., Virginia, and all over Florida. If you haven't tried it, I recommend it!

Basic Infomation
I found this book typically medically orientated. It was informative and accurate of the current treatments etc. but to be honest I am grateful I read this book after I had researched many forms of therapy.Otherwise I would have been utterly depressed and without hope for my future. All the 'treatments' offer is symptom relief. There is no mention of improving immune status or joint repair i.e. healing. The list is endless, with the added bonus of all the drug side effects! And what about non invasive forms of pain relief like a simple heat pad? I thought the writers could have offered a lot more for sufferers.Most people flick through the tech stuff to get to the 'how to get well' section, let's be honest.As a health care professional of traditional background, I am realising that there is a huge wealth of info from Alternative Medicine that I once dimissed like my colleagues. Holistic care is the way forward in my opinion. Oh yes, that and fish oil!!!

Don't think, don't hesitate, please get it now...
A few years back in high school, my life was plagued with personal problems. Juggling with homework and family problems. One day I went out with enough money and and bought a tape. It was Tenchi Muyo, the first oav episode. After watching it, my life has suddenly gotten better. Obviously, Tenchi Muyo was the remedy. Now a few years later, Pioneer has made a set of the 13 Tenchi Muyo episodes. I instantly bought it, without thinking at all, plunging in all my hard earned cash. Seriously, you can't miss this...you just can't. This is one of the best anime I have ever seen. This set is worth every penny of your savings. I put this dvd set on my shelf along with other animes, with pride...

An Obvious Rush to Publish Job
This is the first and only book I've read by this author. This book had so much promise but Baxter ruined it with poor character development and a hasty plot. Did anybody really care about Paula?The beginning third of the book was excellent. Great commentary on the socio-political landscape that we live in. Baxter pushed the politics of today to its extreme but logic conclusion. But then it seemed that Baxter started rushing - was he on a tight deadline? The pace went so fast that I was wondering "how did we get here?"The only reason that I give this book 2 stars, is the imagination that the author has. The ending was bizarre but imaginative. This book is such as obvious sloppy rush job, I don't how anyone can rate it above 3 stars let alone the highest rating of 5 stars. A 5 star rating is a classic such as Dune, not this hastily written book.Next time Baxter needs to spend more time on writing his books. I hate to see such talent go to waste.

"Rediscovered" Film Somewhat Disappointing
This is one of those films you've heard about for 30 years and have never been able to see, until now. It has a small cult following in England (where it was shot). It concerns a lunatic living in a London subway, preying on commuters. The movie had a lot of potential. Donald Pleasance is terrific as a sarcastic police chief, the premise is creepy and the camera work is good. Yet somehow the film falls flat. When it's over, you'll say: "That's it?" The DVD has no extras. Director Gary Sherman runs hot and cold. His "Dead and Buried" is very good, but "Poltergeist III"... need I say more? Fans of British horror will want this rarity to complete their collection, others beware.

No more battery problems
I'm actually writting this review on behalf of both my wife and myself. We're a senior couple (but still young at heart!) from Portland, OR. We have an old Chevrolet Chevette that we use once in a while to pick up some groceries, but mostly it just sits out in the driveway. A few months ago we were having problems starting the car. Our mechanic said it was because we didn't use it enough and that the battery would drain itself. He was the one that suggested the BatterySaver solar charger to keep our battery charged while it was not in use. Amazon had exactly what we needed and it works great! Our old Chevy starts up everytime! All we had to do is put it on the dash and plug it into the cigarette lighter. Real easy!

An underestimated work of Science Fiction/Fantasy brilliance
This is one of my favorite books. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The world that Zelazny creates is a vivid and imaginative one, full of beauty and ugliness, light and darkness, good and evil. The book is all about duality. It is about objects and their opposites, ideas and there antithesis. And at the center of the work is Shadowjack, a character whose presence betrays the ideas in the rest of the book. He is a shadow, inbetween light and darkness. He is the grey between the white and black of the world in which he lives. This book is brilliant on so many levels. As a simple work of fiction it is entertaining and brilliantly written. As an allagory it is beautifully crafted and deeply moving. A must read. Buy this book and share it with others.

Great Module poorly done
I loved this module when it came out. I saw this and I was thrilled. Finally, they had done what I wanted done for so long. I bought it and installed it. Started off very fun. Then I played longer. I can not get any of my quest outside of Hommlet to update. I have been in contact with Atari and tried their suggestions and they don't work. This game is just not worth the money. I had to stop playing because not being able to complete the quests makes the game difficult and not very fun. Hopefully they will try to correct all the problems they have.
