Well...
|
Nice package, and I really like how small it is. BUT!!!! Some iMac users will be frustrated with it. The drivers do not appear to integrate well into OS X. For example, sometimes the device is not recognized at startup, so I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Annoying. It also displays incorrect connectivity information, and the utility is overall rather slow and quirky. Finally, I had to disable WEP because the incorrect key would always transmit. Overall, I have a good connection, but the bugs are too annoying for me, and I am returning the unit. Belkin makes an adapter compatible with OS X, and I hear AeroPad is good too. Apple's Airport, of course, is probably the best solution but is costly.

I'll marry you, Elaine!
|
Ben, who has finished the university, has no more plans for his future. He don't know, was he could do the whole long days, so he starts an affair with Mrs. Robinson, a good friend his parents. But his real love is Elaine, the daughter of Mrs. Robinson, his heart is just beating for her. Mrs. Robinson wont, that Ben marry Elaine. So, she invents stupid stories about Ben and tells them Elaine. After telling those stories, Elaine is hating Ben, and she don't marry him. That book makes me laughing, a man wants to marry a girl but she has no interests in him. What a stupid idea! Ben is too naiv, perhaps he thought, that he can buy all things, also hearts, with money! All is in this text: Love, relationships, betrayl, broken friendship and scream with frustration! Dustin Hoffmann is the most perfect person to play the role of Ben in that movie. Dustin is a joker like Ben.

I wear the t-shirt...'nuff said
|
A while back I was leaving an ABB concert, stoked, and passed a vendor selling "Eat A Peach" t-shirts. He had one left, it was in my size, and I bought it. I normally don't wear t-shirts advertizing things (shouldn't they be paying me to wear it?) but I'll wear my Eat a Peach t-shirt -- and I get constant reactions from people when I do.How does one explain "Eat A Peach"? How does one explain cultural revolution? Because in the South in 1972 this _was_ cultural revolution. You can give all the sociology and history and gossip that you want, but in the end its the music. A great band suffering a body blow. Putting studio and live tracks together to get it done. A cd that doesn't split "Mountain Jam" in two like my worn out records do. Blues covers, country originals, country-jazz?, a lost brother, and an acoustic guitar duet to close. What more can you ask for?

The DVD's 5 stars, but the CD's a dud
|
Whoa, what a disappointment!!! I checked out the CD music and wondered 'HEY, were we even watching the same movie'?? If all you put on the soundtrack is the hip-hop, it completely misrepresents the film -- which is about ghetto kids learning ballroom, tango and swing, y'all. I was waiting for the swing piece from the dance-school scene and that dynamite, blow-you-away tango that the teacher uses to to lure the kids into learning ballroom ... but those are nowhere to be heard. BAD IDEA! If I wanted straight hip-hop, I wouldn't have been looking for this soundtrack: I'd go straight to the source. As it is, I was looking for the **other** music used for the film. And it's not there. For that reason alone, if I could give this NO stars, I would. The producers need to get a clue here. 'Nuff said.

Unbelievable!
|
If zero stars were an option I would do that! The roaster arrived today. It was not broken like several other buyers had indicated with their experience. However, after getting ready to use it I noticed that the lid does not fit the roaster. Not even close. The lid is clearly made for something different. Roughly the same size but totally different shape. Sending it back ASAP. I do not want another one from Amazon. I hope they get this straightened out with their supplier. Stay away from this item!

Don't waste your money
|
When I bought the first one, I used the pkg instructions to check it out with a pot of boiling water, to be sure it would indicate 212 - it wouldn't go above 190 (my 2 candy thermometers registered 212). So I called their 800 number to request a replacement. Got a recording (4PM EST on weekday) saying their hours are 8-5, call a 617 (MS) number. That recording continues to run 24/7 - nobody ever answers the phone. I called the 617 number and "Joe" told me to put the thermometer in a 350 oven. (My oven thermostat is in perfect calibration with my oven thermometer.) This thermometer indicated 310 - not 350. Called the 617 number back and they sent a replacement. Same problem with it, only this one doesn't even show 190 with boiling water. I just tossed them both - will never again buy anything made by Bayou Classic. Hope somebody who's trying to fry a turkey doesn't get burned by overheated oil while waiting for this thermometer to get to the desired temp.

Waste Of Money
|
I went uptown hoping to get a brand new CD cause I listened to much to the other ones. There's 3 choices: Slipknot(first one), new SOAD CD or this. I chose this. Tomorrow, I'm returning it. That's how bad this is. The only song I like is Simple Creed. I heard that this is a more aggressive release. Where? It's filled with ballads some rock songs almost rap style like vocals. Ed's voice sounded great on early work like Lightning Crashes, I Alone and Lakini's Juice. Here, he sounds bad. Like a cheap version of Axl Rose on some of the songs. On the "Forever...." song, it sounds so bad when he keeps saying Forever during the chorus I couldn't help but chuckling. Live fans might [...not be happy about this...] review but we all have our opinions and in plain english: Download "Simple Creed" or get the first 4 albums cause this is not a good addition.

This album is G.O.A.T cheese...
|
It had been quite sometime since I had splurged and bought a Cool J album. Not since "14 Shots to the Dome" which appeared on the scene back in '93. Thats the last time I laid down scrilla on an LL album. Maybe it should have been the last. I heard LL hype up this album so much. That it was his best yet. That he had probably the most control over this album than of any he had ever put out. Well L, if thats the case UR in trouble bro'. This is one of the most disappointing CDs I have bought to date. I hope this isn't UR best s**t LL because if it is then its time for U to put that microphone in a time capsule. And for U to retire.

Exploded my pipes
|
I installed a Titan SRC-2 about 2 years ago. The thing never worked properly. It pulls so much amperage that my house lights flicker when we use hot water. It never would stay at a consistent temperature. Either too cold or way too hot. The company is impossible to deal with unless you are from Mexico or Spain. It blew out 2 elements and you have to buy them from the company not at any home improvement store. Finally one day we were filling our tub and the water was literally boiling, heard a lot of noise in the utility room then....explosion. It blew out the hot water line going to the tub under the house, flooded and had to have the line replaced. Do not buy these pieces of total crap. Spend a few more dollars and get a name brand, it will end up being cheaper in the long run.

Knight in Shining Chanclas
|
Rod C. Stryker, well-known poet about town, has been hosting poetry readings around San Antonio for eight years. Exploits of a Sun Poet, his second book, is a collection of free verse celebrating freedom of speech.Some Exploits are sexual, some are forays into love. "Poet w/out a Collar" humorously views the writer as an unlicensed stray animal. "Nightfall" is a very real reflection of the sunset of society. "Radio Memories" pays homage to Rod's inspirations. Other poems recognize the nine muses.Some poems, like "Knight in Shining Chanclas," are drawn from his Puerto Rican heritage. Some poems are dark, perhaps lifted from Rod's Army days in Desert Storm. Poems like "Rio Grande Odyssey" and "G.I. Joe's Marriage to Barbie" poke fun at stereotypes and materialism. Poems like "Blood on My Face" and "Next" draw messages of hope from images of violence.(...)May his "Exploits" never end.

Not for dummies
|
Usually tutorials are for people that do not know how to use computers. The tutorials on this CD start at the beginning and turn you into an expert user. This writer writes on the Autodesk website. I like her articles, so I knew I would like her CD. I Its very practical. You don't have to read pages and pages before you learn something. I was surprised that there is no animation on the CD. I think its because there are so many tutorials. There are lots of screen grabs. More than in a book I think. I've done about half the tutorials and now I can pretty much do my own work.

Kindle, the future of reading!
|
I received my Kindle as a birthday gift, so I can't speak to the high price tag on it. I love it! The books are downloaded instantly. I hate being without a book to read so the fact that they are downloaded with in a minute is fantastic! I purchased my books through my computer and not from the Kindle itself, because I have a lot of them on my wish list already. Some have put down the design. Yes, it could have a smaller right side page forward button. I do hit the buttons on accident sometimes, but it is new to me and the benefits to the Kindle far out weigh the minor flaws. I like the fact that I can keep the books when I am done without taking up anymore space in my house. I also like the fact that the books are usually a little cheaper in the Kindle version. I would recommend this to any book lover!

I have read better
|
This book is ok. There are some entertaining moments but overall it is a mediocre book.The author uses this book to push his more radical, right wing Christian values. More sadly is that the book bashes gays, equaling them with satanic creatures. In Johnstone's worldview, gays cannot be real Christians.What is bad about this book is that the character development is flat. We never get to know the characters, nor do we get a chance to watch them develop as the "horror" builds. One of the best things about a good horror novel is that we get to see the characters respond to the horror and go through their inner demons as they battle the evil. There is not much of that here. People either are evil or good. There is no transition.Want real horror? Try Shirley Jackson, James Herbert, T.E.D. Kline (a rare but worthwhile find), Peter Straub and Robert R. McCammon.

Sweat guard works; sound & comfort need improvement
|
Yes, these headphones are designed well to keep the sweat out of your ears. I bought them to replace the yellow "Sports" in-ear phones that came with my old cassete/radio Walkman. With those I had to take them out every once in a while and wipe the sweat off. With these new ones, it's not a problem.However... I'm disappointed with the sound quality. I think it's because the in-ear part is bigger than it used to be - it doesn't go into my ear as far as the older model did. And they hurt! After about half an hour they make my ears hurt so bad that I have to give up on them. The fold-up feature and sweat guard design is not enough to justify the discomfort and lack of sound quality. I would not buy these again and recommend that other shoppers look elsewhere.I'm training for a half-marathon and am still trying to find the perfect pair of traning earphones!!

Didn't last one month!
|
I'm a fourth grade teacher who spends a lot of time sharpening pencils for my students after school every day. I bought this sharpener, hoping it would last at least for one year. When I first used it, you can tell that the machine feels very delicate and cheap already but it did sharpen very sharp. It's barely been about 3 weeks since I bought it and just yesterday, I was putting a pencil in and it just stopped sharpening. The machine was still on and working with the sounds noticeable but it just didn't sharpen the pencil anymore. I was so mad. I am also not into taking my time to write a review for any product but it was a waste of money so I wanted to get the word out. Don't buy this cheap sharpener. It was about $85 at office depot but it's not What u pay for. It's a very cheap quality and won't last for not even a month. What a rip off!

God awful, and it got worse.
|
As a fifth grade teacher, I would have given a D to a 10 year old if they wrote this. No descriptions. No characterization. No sense of setting. Plot jumps (jauntes?)around like crazy. No sense of connection to anything or anyone. The dialogue was absolutely choppy and lame! I read the whole thing only because I can't stand to leave things unfinished. I only wish the author had felt the same. Honestly, this was one of the worse things I have ever read!

cheval mirror
|
What a horror this has been! I received my FIRST mirror, and the brass piece was snapped in half on the bottom. The company said to disassemble it and repack it and UPS would pick it up and they would then send a new one. And so yes another week later mirror number TWO arrived, and the glass was cracked on that one. Now the company said they'd send number THREE. Me being the ever so patient person said, "These things can happen, third time is a charm"! Well, number three came yet another week, or so later, and this one the wood dowels are so warped that the won't keep the mirror base together. Now if I had all THREE mirrors, perhaps I could put them all together and get one decent mirror. I will NEVER deal with this company again !!!!! Disgusted on Long Island

spokeswoman for the pharmaceutical companies
|
It sounds like Suzanne has become a shill for the pharmaceutical companies. Many celebrities get paid to praise prescription drugs in their interviews or books, so she's not the only one doing it. Suzanne claims that without prescription hormone drugs, women CANNOT get through menopause. I've also seen her on TV spinning the same advertising pitch. I'm very suspicious about her "message" and wonder why journalists aren't taking her to task. Don't be fooled by her use of the word "natural." Most doctors will tell you--if they are honest--that prescription hormones are NOT "natural." And Suzanne is wrong when she says diet and exercise alone WON'T work. She says women MUST take hormones--or they are losers! There is something extremely fake about her "agenda." Wake up ladies and don't take Suzanne's word for it. She's obviously being paid big money to say this stuff and I don't mean just by her publishing company, either!

A Big Surprise!
|
I actually didn't read this book, I listened to it via Books on Tape. I wanted to purchase the book for my friends because I enjoyed it so much. When I pulled the book up on Amazon and saw that it is a Harlequin book, I was very surprised! I have never wanted to read a Harlequin Romance Novel because I find the books boring and very predictable. As far as I'm concerned, this book doesn't belong in a catagory of books that are mass written, boring, gushy, and predictable. I couldn't wait to get back into my car to listen to more! I was totally capitavated by the mystery of the book. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a love/mystery book. As hard as I tried, I could not figure out "who dun it" until I was told by the author. Great! Buy it - you'll love it!

Lots of Violence, Little Plot
|
I received Spartacus: Gods of the Arena through Amazon Vine for review. As an action film fan, I was curious. I'm so glad I didn't pay for it, as I couldn't finish watching. There aren't many films that I'll stop watching purely because of content, but after almost five solid minutes of stylized violence and gore straight from a horror movie, I had more than enough. Yes, the gladiator sport was a bloody one, but it's not something I want to see glorified. It was violence just for the shock value. Still, I tried fast-forwarding through the bloody scenes to get to the talking/plot. But there doesn't seem to be much. I haven't seen any of the rest of this series, since I don't have the Starz channel. And I was immediately lost. Unfortunately, this show just wasn't for me.

Genuinely Morbid
|
This is a remarkable first novel. Especially because for the first time in my life I was able to be genuinely disturbed. There is fear and there is disturbance. Fear can be a pleasant emotion to encounter when reading a horror novel. It's only a story. Disturbance is different because it causes the reader to question what he or she believes. I found Drawn to the Grave disturbing and frightening. And I'm someone who has read a great many horror novels. The theme of decay and a living death are very present. And all that is within a prosaic, normal setting. If you read this book, and I recommend it to you, be prepared to be genuinely disturbed.

Demon Terror, Koontz Humor, Super Story
|
Mystery writer Tommy Phan is having a bad night. It's raining, but he can't really enjoy the ride he's having in his new Corvette, even though he did seem to enjoy flirting with a waitress earlier. His mother just seems to have a way of making him feel guilty. How come he hasn't married a nice Vietnamese girl? Can he help it if he prefers blondes? How come he isn't a doctor? Can he help it if he'd rather write?When he gets home he finds a rag doll on his doorstep. He takes it inside, uh oh, bad move, doesn't he know he's in a Dean Koontz novel. There's a demon in the doll that seems to delight in terrorizing Tommy. Not wanting to become demon dinner, he gets on out of there, races through town, wrecks the new `Vette, but he can't seem to shake the demon and you won't be able to shake this book. Super characters, though unlike other Dean Koontz books, this one almost has a sense of the comical and that just seems to make it all the more delectable.

Digital deadbolt lock
|
I purchased this lock to alleviate the ongoing problem of people not having keys (large family), people losing keys, and a lock that was wearing out. Now I will never have to worry about who has a key again, as only those we give a code to will be able to get in.I had seen some biometric locksets which used fingerprint technology. Problem is, they need power, which means batteries. One I saw, which looked very good, claimed to allow up to 300 uses before batteries need to be replaced. 300 uses? I'd be replacing them all the time!I opted for the K.I.S.S. theory.....Keep It Simple, Stupid! This lock doesn't need batteries or power of any kind. The code is easy to set and it's relatively easy to install. Additionally, I think it actually looks good too. We have medium to high activity through our front door, and this lock works great.

Not a Review for the Movie
|
I just got this movie today in the mail. I've been looking forward to seeing the last installment of Harry Potter and got the Blu-Ray and, as always, got the Digital Copy to go along with it. All I can say is, STAY AWAY FROM THE ULTRAVIOLET! Getting a digital copy movie used to be an easy and pleasant experience. I really liked the idea of expanding my digital and Blu-Ray library. Not anymore. The Ultraviolet process could not be more offensive and disgusting if they tried. This may be the last digital copy I purchase. I really have no words.Still haven't watched the movie yet as I've been messing around with this digital copy all night. Awful.Oh - and by the way, the Ultraviolet Digital Copy does NOT work with iTunes. So if you are purchasing this copy to use with iTunes, you are SOL!

Plastic only no Steel frame
|
Watch out what you are buying!! This safe is out of plastic!! I needed to anchor it down and I drilled holes thru side and back. THERE IS NO STEEL!!! It is plastic only!!! I can cut thru with contractor's knife. It is outside plastic layer then fire isolation and plastic inside. It looks like toy from Walmart. My 7 years old daughter cut through with one of my cordless saw in few minutes. She opened it up like food can! I can not believe they call this "SAFE". In the documentation is statement "Your new First Alert Waterproof Theft Safe will provide years of safe and secure protection for your valuables" THIS IS A JOKE!! A 7 years old kid can go thru this "TOUGH SAFE"

One of the best
|
So the film is racist. Until racism is completely eradicated -- and, let's face it, we still have quite a ways to go -- let's not get too smug about the film's take on slavery. So the special effects look a little creaky in places. Well, the same can be said about Star Wars. Movies are products of their times. The very best ones survive, often to endure criticism from more "enlightened" or "sophisticated" generations. (As if we really make quantum leaps in our development every 20 years or so.)Taken on its own terms, this is still a great piece of storytelling. The acting, writing and direction are all first rate. And the film, like the book, has a timeless theme -- survival -- that is embodied in an unforgettable heroine. Read the book first. It's a first-rate piece of fiction. Then sit back and enjoy the film.

Soporific Nerd Reviewer
|
Hello,Please dont take my "review" of this CD as reason to purchase it. Try MP3.com. It's free! I'm writing this to exclaim my contempt for the metal nerd who wrote the first review, soporific doomdeath? In my opinion I dont think "Solinari" deserves a 5. It is a good release and let's just say I'm biased. But the reasoning that this dork has for why this is a mediocre release is asinine! Could you be any more vague? Use a few more big words too, thesaurus junkie. I think the real question for all you metal-dorks who have such a high regard for your own opinion is this... Let's see you make a record, music critic? Lastly, look at his wish list for what he deems as "good", I rest my case!

Amazing and Haunting Book!
|
When I got to the end of the Judas Child I closed it and said "Wow!" There are surprises all the way through the book but I never ever saw the ending coming! I also don't want to reveal too much but the characters are so wonderfully drawn. Sadie is feisty and fearless. Her friend Gwen is bright, more quiet but yet has her own unique strength. Rouge is detached and yet haunted by the similarities between the disappearance of Sadie and Gwen and the murder of his twin sister Susan. And then there's Ali who is relentless in her pursuit of an answer to what happened to the two girls. O'Connell presents the story using several points of view. The plot is very well developed and results in an ending that truly shocked me. This is an Excellent read. But don't pick it up and expect to read a little and come back to it later. Once you start reading you won't be able to put it down.

Worse than.... anything even D&D
|
This really bad movie just made both D&D and Little Nicky move over. I'm sorry but there isn't anything that you want to watch you look away going oh my goodness that isn't happening is it? no it is... ahh help.. The best part was the 3 min PG version which was much easier to watch and had all of movie. Rip Torn is a good actor but every actor has to have the job they got wrangled into. Like Jeremy Irons in D&D. This even beat out Little Nicky for just plain stupidity without a point. The point of this movie as far as anyone could tell was Tom Green had father issues and had to work them out. It's to bad he couldn't do it in private therapy like everyone else. Watch it I dare you... I'm even sorry I spent the dollar to rent it.

Oh, How Self-Centered He's Become!!
|
OK Jimmy. We get it now. You're the fabulous Jimmy Buffett and we're not. Enough already. This book is not so much autobiographical as it is bragging. "Don't you wish you could live your life like me", Buffett seems to say. Enough with the "he who dies with the most toys, wins" credo and stick to your music. Better yet, sell all your "toys" instead of "selling out" and get back to the basics. Your music has suffered for years because of the swelled head. As in his music, Buffett has peaked early in his attempt at writing. Stick to telling short stories like "Tales to Margaritaville". We already know how stinking rich you are; your legions of Parrotheads made you the success you are today. No need to brag and rub our noses in it.

It smells... really!
|
The projected image is not bright enough... It has failed to receive time data, although it's been 5 days... and the biggest problem, it SMELLS! I mean it REAKS of chemical stench! I opened the package and literally was thrown back. Every item in the package stinks; the clock, the paper instruction book and most especially the small power supply and cord. I think it's the "plasticizers" in the power supply wire insulation. I bought 4 of these and each one STINKS! In order to have any hope of being able to bring them in the house, I've had to leave them all in the garage to air out. It's been 5 days now, and the smell has diminished considerably, but I still won't have this stench in my house. They'll stay there 'till they have a chance to cure properly. La Crosse Technology and Amazon have alot of nerve to ship these when they know most of them will end up in bedrooms, where the stench and it's effects can be "enjoyed" for hours every night.

A disappointment, to say the least.
|
I expected so much and yet recieved so little from these so called "batteries." Number one, I was disappointed to find out, after some scientific analyses I performed on them, that duracell's world famous "copper top" statement is erroneous. This so called "copper top" is nothing more than a copper-aluminum alloy called copposyclamatrane. I can't top the copper top? hardly. After the analyses, I put these "copper top" batteries to the test. What I did was I stuck them in my flashlight expecting a brilliant flashlike-like sheen. What I got was far from. A tiny light that could only be classified as much less than miniscule. I threw the flashlight at my cat in disgust, expecting hilarious results, and I wasn't disapointed! This was the only good thing that came out of the worst purchase decision I've ever made. Thanks for nothing, dura-hell!

Gets better the more you watch it!

I saw this movie in the theatres and I was disappointed. But then I rented it and got all the little jokes that I missed and by the third viewing, I really liked this movie. I'm a big Farley fan and I would rank this movie right under Tommy Boy as one of his best films he's done. The supporting cast is also very funny. There are so many good laughs in this film. Anyone who looks at my woman, I KILL HIM! The horse sh*t story. Revenge is sweet sir! Do you realize your maiden is made of straw? When they take turns looking through the binocular. This movie definately grows on you. It's definately got some laughs that are definately worth your while if you are a Farly or goofy comedy fan. I hope they make this onto DVD someday! If you like Joe Dirt, Dirty Work, or Tommy Boy, you'll like this movie. If not, try it 2 more times.

Wow, I did not no writing this poorly was legal
|
I have always enjoyed reading about society recovering from apocalyptic disaster. So, I thought mix in the Bible's book of Revelations and modern fiction and you would have a winning formula, right? Wrong! These are some of the most poorly written pages I have ever had the misfortune of reading. Everything about the book is flat. The settings: flat. The characters: flat. Nothing is brought to life in any way. Everything written here feels very contrived. I could go on for days about how terrible this book was but I would end up getting a cramp in my wrists from typing so much. If you have any dignity, or actually care about what you put into your head, avoid this book, and its 11 or so sequels, like the Bubonic Plague.

"A Total Scam!
|
"I think where this started was a Bud Westmore Product used in Hollywood for years to give the impression of hair on face or head." Well it may work for someone on camera for a few minutes but to actually use this stuff for hours upon hours throughout the day or night in public is a total joke! It looks like dirt or heavy dust on your head. And its hard to come off.. then you use the hair spray, its like in my case medium brown glue on your head! Its awfull and I don't understand how many millions including myself overpay for this crap! And this brand is supposed to be the best. My Salon Owner laughed at me for using this so-called quick fix to a small balding spot I have. She told me that is was a "Scam" so you did not hear that from me. You can tell a mile away that you use this stuff. And god forbid you use for your hairline and it will start running down your forehead with just the slightest bead os sweat. Terrible product and the folks that make and sell it should be in jail!

surface deserved a better fate
|
This is a very good show in many way's. Each episode ended with a cliff hanger and as a fan of Sci-fi what can one ask for. The initial disc of the first four shows just grabs you. Its very sad that many of the riddles introduced are not answered and are left for season two which never came to pass. I'd say Close Encounters and a little ET mixed together with more bite than both. I thought the season end was good but am peeved that so many parts were missing. I don't want to be a spoiler and say what they are.The last image was GREAT. Its a great disc if you forgive them for no season two. With many other lesser shows on TV , one wonders why they let this one fade. A B_movie of the 50's taken into the new century, good stuff !!!!

Still waiting for special effects that outdo The Thing!!
|
The Thing(Collector's Edition) DVD is worth every penny I paid for it. The numerous features really show why DVD is going to be the future of video. Well, I am here to say, "The future is NOW!!" I really enjoyed the commentary by John Carpenter & Kurt Russell. To hear them talk about what they went through making the film, laughing about memories, etc. gave me a different insight into one of the greatest Sci-Fi/Horror films ever(although alot of people wouldn't agree). But, the film over the years has gained a following and viewing this DVD only made me love the movie even more. I love to watch it with someone who has never seen it and watch their reaction to some of the really scary moments in the film. The special effects are AWESOME and, in my opinion have never been equalled since. The best way to do that would be to make a sequel. John Carpenter....what are you waiting for?? It's only been 17 years!!

No coolant temperature gauge till today
|
My 2012 Jetta came without a coolant temperature gauge. I know now many high price cars no longer have them and I'm just about sold on the idea that they're not necessary. Nevertheless I'm too old and been relying on one too long to change. With this device I now have one and it's WAY more accurate than the ones that are factory installed. In addition I like seeing the voltage the battery is putting out. I just installed it today and the other gauges I have displayed are RPM and speed. Don't need the last two as the car has these but it's nice knowing that the ScanGauge agrees with the car instruments. I'll use the MPG stuff if I ever figure it out. The cable was really easy to hide. I placed the device atop the steering column. It sits below the instruments. The light is not really bright enough to see well in the daytime especially with dark glasses. Way cheaper then my first idea which was to put in a coolant Temp. gauge from under the hood.

Doesn't Teach Much
|
I used this book in my systems analysis and design course. First off, it is over priced. I understand that college books are expensive, but this one was too overpriced.Second, it is not helpful. It spends chapters talking about how to get information from users. Did I really need several chapters to tell me to interview them, send out surveys, and observe them? That is kind of obvious information.Following this course, I took a software development course. The two classes are in series. Techniques learned from this book did not help me. When it came time to write documents (project proposals, documents for external design and internal design phases, etc.) this book was no help. There were no examples of what should be in them.Not helpful unless you are clueless as to where to begin. Even then it's not a tremendous help.

Great cable but a shipping error!
|
I bought this cable to hook up my Xbox to my new monitor and the picture quality is great! No ghosting and it works! The cable arrived on time but it was the wrong cable! I emailed them and they responded fast and shipped out the right cable the next business day. The cable arrived in about 4-5 business days. Tracking info was received both times my order was shipped out. I don't like the fact that they messed up my order and had to wait longer to use my cable but they corrected it and let me keep the wrong cable they sent. P.S to anyone who is connecting this to their Xbox and using the AV cable/s-video cable for audio,you wont be able to watch Netflix or DVDs without the audio dongle! Tried it and doesn't work!! THE HDCP ERROR POPS UP ON THE SCREEN. U get audio but NO VIDEO!

SentiMENTAL
|
I'll try almost anything once. So a friend asked me to be patient and give this a listen. I did try. Honest. And it was excrutiatingly painful. This woman cannot sing. She tries, and it makes a normal person wonder why there are certain "celebrities" who consider themselves talented vocalists. KL is right there at the top of the list. Something tells me that if she were to star in a movie, people would also flock to see it just because she was in it. So its no wonder that thousands choose to listen to KL not cause she can can sing, but because its Kathie(look-at-me)Lee. There's too many wonderful natural born singers out there in the world to waste one's time with this recording.

Dario Argento's Phantom of The Opera
|
The Phantom of the Opera is one of the greatest stories ever told. It make a perfect horror theme and it's been done so many times. I called Argento the master of the kill because each one of his movies usually has one awesome kill. That all being said, this movie should have been a pure winner. Well, it's not. The opera scenes are beautiful, the music is good if not standard, but the story sucks. The Phantom is raised by rats and his face is not scarred at all. The one problem I had was during the kills the screen just turns black and all you hear is screams and thuds. I have no idea why they would do that but oh well.Dario Argento's Phantom of the Opera is not the best version of the film by far. If your a hardcore fan of the story, movies, or Broadway plays then you may want to stay away. If you know nothing of the story and just want something to watch then i'd check it out.

It is horrible
|
My parents bought this printer because of its fax scan and print capability. I personally own a *almost* brand new HP laptop less than a year old. We configured this computer over the network so i could print. Well, it works fine... until you reboot. When you reboot, and go back into word, and try to change fonts, it will crash. I even did a factory install. Didn't change anything. HP doesn't have any support email for this on the site. The greedy people at HP also decided to not support network printing on this computer, thinking you should buy 1 HP printer per computer. Now i am going to go buy a new printer out of my pocket, and go as far as to pay 10 times more to get a brand that isn't related to HP. By the way, i'm not 12, i just didn't want to have to sign up for Amazon.com to complain about this poorly made product.

40 acres and a LOT of cotton
|
40 Acres and Maybe a Mule is a great book, and I really enjoyed it. It is a very heartfelt story about a boy that's 12 years old named Pascal. His brother, Gideon, about 16 years old, finally shows back up at the plantation after two years of being gone. He says the slaves have been freed. Pascal gets his 8 year old friend Nelly and tells her to pack up. They're going to leave to freedom. They leave their plantation and eventually end up in Georgia, where they get a land grant. They find their land and start a beatuiful home with the cotton crops flourishing. Despite the great wealth of cotton and their new home, they never get a mule. But more and more slaves are losing their homes. The book gives a great message of hope, belonging, and friendship as their family grows and Pascal learns the true meaning of freedom.

Taxi Driver
|
I've wanted to see this movie for years, so I finally bought it. It was awful. The acting is great, but the plot line meanders all over the place. Jodie Foster is saved from a life of prostitution by a whack cab driver in an all too bloody shootout. I have nothing against sex and violence when it serves the storyline, but everything here was gratuitous, and the storyline seemed to wander all over the place. There were endless of DeNiro driving his cab, as if we needed to be reminded he was a cab driver. In the end, Jody goes back to her conservative family, and the wacko is hailed as a hero. Better she should have stayed on the street. The world doesn't need more yuppies. I was really disappointed with this story. If you thought Pulp Fiction was art, you might like it. I prefer a plot line that wasn't thrown together on the run.

SHARP, SHARP, SHARP!
|
This is a MUST HAVE glass for your Alpha system! I shoot this on an A700 and a KM 5D. Beside the 1.5x factor (which really makes this lens more like a 75mm) it is TACK SHARP. Whether you shoot macro or for general shooting for portraits. This glass is going to give you the sharpness you need, the color you wish for, and the depth in your subject. The only reservation i have for this glass is that it's a plastic body with a rubber focus ring, which the rubber will tend to get "old" as it ages. But don't get me wrong, it's a good build and never feels "cheap" in your hands. The focus on this is bearable but not super fast when you're in macro mode. Use the focus limiter button and it will surprise you how fast it can keep up even on the KM 5D. It's a prime glass piece! Pay for the price but you won't regret it!!!

Insanity: the asylum
|
I would be hard pressed to say anything was harder than insanity. However, i can see that asylum is just as hard physically and waaaaay harder technically! There are tons of skills that are learned that were new for me. Lot of footwork, lots of jump rope, lots agility, lots of new weight lifting techniques, lots of new stuff on pull up bar. This work out is in the process of kicking my butt!!! I absolutely love it. I would say its not for someone trying to get in shape. It's for someone who is shape and want to go to the next level. But that's just my opinion. Love it. Never boring, always exciting, constantly switching up!!!! Great job Shaun-T

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY TOTAL SCAM
|
I purchased this lamp 110 days ago. The lamp started going dim on Saturday and when I tried to turn it on again would not work. The lamp is installed high so nothing has hit the projector. Of course they will not refund the money. The actual sharp lamp I purchased from sharp the last time lasted 2 YEARS! This one lasted 110 days. This is not even a Sharp Lamp as it is advertised. The representative said they don't actually manufacture. All I know is my old lamp says Sharp on it and it worked for 2 years. This didn't. This is a lot of money to spend to risk having to buy a WHOLE new lamp. I would buy directly from Sharp. What a Scam.

Really boring.

Yawn. Snore. Wake me up when it's over. Sorry, I'm not one of the self-annointed "official" reviewers that litter this site with their inane analyses. Spending twenty-five bucks on Leonard's worst book in ages is a serious error. (And I thought Pagan Babies was great.) The title should be the tip-off. Tishomingo! Sounds like what you do in an outhouse when the moon isn't out. If you want to go hard-cover, try George Pelecanos' new book. The few lines about bluesman Robert Johnson were the only redeeming factors in this soporific entry into Leonard's canon. Elmore! Respect your fans. ...

I'm trying to imagine how the spout could be worse
|
The problem with this gas can is the spout. It's horrendous. The plastic can itself is fine. It holds gasoline, no problem. The spout is the most hideous thing you can imagine. To get gasoline to come out of it you have to pull the end of it toward you while pouring. It is spring loaded and the spring is a tough opponent. You have to really crank on that thing to get it pulled back. Here's the payoff if you actually get it to open and pour: It doesn't pour, it shoots out sideways in every direction. Yay.I really hate this gas can and am shopping on Amazon for a replacement that will simply pour gasoline out when I tilt it up. Imagine that.

JC & BBB LIVE & RE-HASHED!!!!!!!
|
I have nothing against this cd. I enjoyed it the first time it was released in 1992 as Eddie & The Cruisers LIVE & IN CONCERT on Scotti Bros. I have mixed feelings when a record company (BMG) re-hashes previous recordings in a false format... Extended Versions my ##*****%%%%!!!!! ENCORE COLLECTION my ##****%%%!!! JC & BBB fans would be better served by releasing the soundtrack to the 1992 movie Jersey Girl. I would say re-releasing, but to this day I have never seen a copy of this soundtrack supposedly released with the film. Of course the music is great, it's just the concept is shady... If you have the LIVE & IN CONCERT cd, don't bother with this release. Save your money to see JC live.. He's still touring!!!

Junk / Disappointment

I fell for it! I let Symantec take over my PC. I registered the product. I set a back up schedule that was perfect, every two days at 6 am. It ran each day.For a month this went on and then one morning while logging in my hard drive crashed, unrecoverable. No problem, I have a detailed back up as of 6 am that DAY!Was I wrong! After installing a new drive re imaging and attempting to restore my data, nothing, the software would not recognize its own files. I then attempted to get help from Symantec. Chat only of course. No good they had no idea what went wrong, all data was lost luckily I was able to find an old back up a few months old.This was a tragedy. I trusted in this product and it failed me.

BEAUTIFUL!!![.]

i had their album "Memory Is An Elephant" and i enjoyed that very much. I already knew these three were incredibly talented and creative, but wow! This album is a work of art beginning to end! I love the "dusty, lone, western landscapes with Morricone leading the way" theme. That's not much of description but i can't add much as it has already been said in the other reviews here. I will say that if you love music that is thought provoking and very visual, get this album. And don't even think about being cheap and ripping it off the net somewhere in... mp3 form. The artwork of the album accompanies the music in that it is wonderful. Very nice job indeed! I hope to see them perfom live sometime soon. I know it'd be an unforgettable experience for sure.

Treatment
|
Okay, I found this book in my school library clearance bin (I know, a clearance bin!) and it was given to me for free. Having never heard of the author before then, or knowing what it was about (I grabbed it for the cover) I began to read, and change. I had never read anything like it before, and in hindsight I was probably a little too young for this story at the time, but I swear I felt myself change inside. This book changed me. It is a pure adult thriller, with some heavy characteristics. Child abduction, abuse and murder, rape, drinking and drug-taking to name a few. This is the second book in the Jack Caffery series, with Birdman first, but it is readable on its own. This book set the bar for how I chose my books and thrillers in particular. And there will never be a sexier fictional character. Ever.

The Very True Tribute...
|
This is one of the best tribute to Michael Jackson I have ever heard. There are '80's hits of Michael Jackson such as Thriller and Billie Jean. These two songs represent the Michael and the '80's with there smooth, yet danceable sounds. Who can forget the catchy line from Thriller or the ultra-smooth sound of Billie Jean. Michael closed out the '80's with his hip song Bad which is not only hip but a new kick into what Michael had in store for us. This album contains older songs from the '70's such as ABC which is pure fun-lovin groove. Rock with You is a sleek shakable song with great, touchable lyrics. Don't Stop 'till you Get Enough explains its self. You cannot get enough of the beat and all you want to do is dance. This CD is excellent, although I would have loved to hear some '90's classics on it such as Remeber the Time, Dangerous, and You are Not Alone. The CD is a total time line of Michael's work and I totally recommend it to any Michael Jackson fan.

Unavailable - But Buy the Original
|
I'll give this re-issue - and that is what it is - 5 stars for the music. This is "(Belafonte) Returns to Carnegie Hall". That disc is available. The song sequence has been rearranged but it is the same. The second Carnegie Hall concert featured Belafonte, the Belafonte Singers, Odetta, Miriam Makeba and the Chad Mitchell Trio. This has been a favorite of mine since my dad brought it home on vinyl - in 1964. Even as I sit here I can hear the entire concert (Song for song!) in my mind. Great songs and a variety of great performances. I wish it had been videoed, but no such luck, I guess. I cannot recommend this concert strongly enough.Returns to Carnegie Hall

indestructible? nice try, rancid.
|
try irreperable. as in, irreperable damage to your reputation. rancid's traditional lyrical and musical stomp-along style just doesn't cut it on this album. perhaps they're getting older and too comfortable within the limits of a tight spectrum; in other words, these guys are getting sloppy. the structure seems slapdash and the lyrics verge on the ridiculous ("game over/it's no fun/got me on the run/i'm gonna go get my gun/blam blam blam you're done," not to mention the spectacle of ridicule that is "ghost band." or the irony of an aging brett gurewitz's vocals on "born frustrated." or the absurdity of the political events surrounding "ivory coast." or...you get the idea.). the wolves have come out, and they are long gone. i'm going to listen to the clash, whose worst album bears a titular lesson rancid could stand to learn: cut the crap. highlights include "arrested in shanghai," "tropical london," "spirit of '87."

Very bad Product
|
Over Priced, Cheaply made, Bad assembly instructions.It's a good Idea, but a bad product. Very over priced. I would not have mined losing out on ten dollars, but 50 plus shipping is a lot. This was the most expensive toy I bought my son for Christmas. The bat does not fully swing, because one of the guides block it. you can't control the so called pitching, the ball is a magnet that sticks to the playing field. pitch it to the bat and it may not roll to the bat, hit it and it may not make it out of the out field. Score board dials won't stay attached to the paper score board. It takes two people to operate. it's the day after Christmas and this one is going to the trash. I can't send it back because I have attempted to assemble it. It would have to go back in the same condition it was received. I would not recommended this to anyone. My son and I are both very disappointed.

Let Peter be Peter...
|
Having been a big fan of Gabriel's commercial stuff, i.e. "So," and "Us," I feel qualified to step into the fray and make a call on this recording. This is not "So" and it isn't "Us."This is Peter's attempt to mesh 60's experimentation like the Beatle's "Magical Misery Tour," with modern experimentation like Beck."Up" is not a terribly complicated recording. The themes are as always, Gabriel's demons, and the delivery is pure Peter. "The Barry Williams Show" is my favorite track, because it is such a pleasing mix of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band/For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite," run through modern layering techniques and sounds.Is it any good? That depends on the listener. If you only like Peter Gabriel for his Pop material that gets radio play, you might as well just buy "The Barry Williams Show" single. If you like Peter Gabriel's introspective demon hunts, you probably will like the whole album.

Good, and helpful
|
The instructions were very helpful. I found that it was straightforward. My only trouble with this was actually mounting the TV on it. I used the included mounts from the tv. It came with it's own spacers for the screws in the back of the TV. This kit worked very well, and my house is very satisfied with the outcome. I'm currently fabricating a protective plate over the tv to save a few bucks and get the install correct. The setup is great and it looks really nice. The cable management system is cool on this as well. I recommend this for those who are technically inclined. It's worth the money as it looks great and the outcome was fantastic for me.

My favorite summer read of all time
|
One august weekend I hit the back yard armed with this book and a gin and tonic. Over the next few weekends I finished the book, several of the drinks and my neighbors probably came to think I was insane. I've never laughed that loud or that much at any other book. And no I would not chalk it up to the G and T's (I only had a few over the duration of the book) I still think back on that summer with great fondness. Adams is painfully funny, insanely original, and one heck of a fine writer. It's Monty Python meets Doctor Who. Yes there are plenty of people who hate this book or just don't get it. But for those of us who do get it, it's the sort of book that takes on a highly loved place of honor in our library. I would strongly suggest you give it a shot. Grab your towel, a tasty and AGE APPROPRIATE beverage, and head for the back yard or the beach. I guarentee you'll either become one of us, or someone who's deeply confused by one of us.

10 Things I Love About This Movie
|
1. Sharp, witty, smart dialogue (unlike most teeny-bopper flicks). 2. It has a superb cast, like Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Larissa Oleynick. 3. Great plot and update on classic play. 4. It mocks the stereotypes of high school people. 5. It's the best teen flick since Clueless. 6. The ending was great. 7. The school used in the movie that looked like a castle was awesome! 8. The title was very original. 9. Kat recites a poem that explains the title. 10. It's just a great movie! If you liked Clueless, you'll love this one!

Great Work!!
|
I bought this book yesterday, and I could not put it down. he is an amazing writer. I like Steve Alten's works, but I especially LOVE the Meg series, it is great. I became hooked by Steve's work since 2000. I highly recommend his books to everyone. In fact, I tell everyone around me about him and his novels. I hope that someday(real soon)we can all see Meg come alive on the big screen!! I will pay to see that!!! This book was a great addition to his Meg series. Not only is he a great writer, but he cares and responds to his many fans, not too many authors do that anymore. I hope that this series(my favorite of all time)keeps getting added to, with new books!!! If anyone read Meg and The Trench, definately read this book!!! If you haven't then I suggest you all get out and read all three books, you will not be disappointed, I certainly wasn't!!

Don't make them like this anymore
|
I love these guys. It just goes to show you what great acting coupled with great writers can do with a sitcom. You can't find good, clean comedy like this on TV anymore. Nowdays they think it has to be laced with bad language and sex to be a hit show. I hope they release all of the episodes on DVD. I will buy them all. I don't know why it was ever cancelled, it was just as funny in the end as it was in the beginning. No, Mark linn-baker wasn't that funny in the short-lived TWINS series, but it's understandable considering the writers it had and the supporting actors. Wouldn't it be great to get these two together again, at least for one re-union episode? I bet they still could make everybody laugh, that is, if the writers were as good as they had before. I wonder if Bronson Pinchot could still do the accent? Well of course he could, don't be ridiculous.

Matt's favorite!
|
My son, Matthew, absolutely LOVES this book! I bought it for him when he was just over 1 year old (he's now 2 1/2) and he's liked it since the first time he saw it. I bought it for him to teach him his colors and IT WORKED! He knew ALL of his colors by the time he was 1 1/2 years old! He really likes the front of it the most-he likes to "pop" the balloons every night at bedtime. If your child is learning/struggling with his/her colors I highly recommend this book. Even if they already know their colors it's great for counting as well. My son also knows how to count to almost 20 and I think he got to 10 from playing with this book. I'm actually on-line ordering it now for 2 of my friends children-ages 9 months and 13 months for Christmas gifts. It's really a great book and if you're considering buying this book, you won't be disappointed. It's THAT good! :)

incomplete
|
The story starts out a bit interesting and it remains that way throughout most of the book. It introduces many possibilities that the storyline MAY have followed, however, the ending is a complete disappointment. Many of the concepts and ideas do not follow through and are left out at the end. You would think that a serious and important event occurred at one point to have some sort of meaning later. Yet, about half of the time, that is not the case. The ending is abrupt and too sudden. Actually, it does not seem like an ending at all. If everything ties up nicely, then the book would have been pleasant to read. I keep expecting that something is going to happen, but nothing does. To simply put it, I am confused and disatisfied. Is there suppose to be a sequel or what? If so, then where is the indication?

Just So-So
|
I'm going to do this as two separate ratings, i.e. Disc 1 and Disc 2. Disc 1 started out promising, but I'll have to say the first two tracks are the best; after that, it's downhill. All the way. Whenever I think of Masterbeat, I'm thinking I'll hear some music that will make me want to move. I guess I did here; it just moved me right on to the bathroom... RATING: 1 1/2 starsDisc 2 wasn't much better. I found the latter tracks a little more palatable than the first of the CD--but not by much. RATING: 2 stars. OVERALL rating (really) 1-1/2 stars. I was pretty much disappointed here.

A Really Good Look At The Business
|
This is a very well writen book. I wish it was a little longer. It starts off a little slow, giving you a look at the history of pro wrestling. Towards the middle of the book it really picks it pace with the Steroid Trials, and the Monday Night Wars. It takes a look at some of Bishof's mistakes, and how Vince McMahon overcomes them. I was a little disapointed that it briefly mentioned ECW, I would have liked to seen a little more coverage on it. The last few chapters are also a little dry. After reading the exert of the book I bought it. The Owen Hart Death was a really big selling point. The events of his death were pretty astonishing. It also devotes about half a chapter to the Bret Hart screwjob. It also tells why Austin became so famous. This is a really good book, I would recemend it to anyone who is intristed in pro wrestling.

NOT appropriate for Girls 10 and up! Not even close.
|
I ordered this for my ten-year-old who is a voracious reader. She loves receiving magazines and I thought this would be appropriate as it is advertised as "The perfect magazine for girls 10 and up. Friends, advice, quizzes, fashion, ideas, celebs, self-esteem. Five-time Parents Choice Award winner!"Forget it. The magazine was full of "Ooh Shoes! Ooh Boys!" With titles like, "Is it love? You're crazy for your cutie--but are you crazy in love? Find out!" and "GL's Cutie Confessional: It's everything you never had the guts to ask!"There was fashion and there were a few self-esteem articles but essentially, this magazine is appropriate for most 13-year-olds and up. If you have a girl in your life younger than that stick with Discovery Girls, American Girl Magazine, and the fabulous New Moon Girls.

I will always love you

I have been a fan of Whitney since day #1. I like this CD because it contains the original version of her hits plus several that are recorded as a mix ideal for dancing. I wasn't familiar with all the duets that were included, but they were very good. I was most happy to see the national anthem included. Her version is the best by far of any celebrity. I would have it sung at all functions that use the Star Spangled Banner. It sends chills up and down my spine. It is too bad that her Greatest Hits came out and then she hit a dry spell. There are a couple of songs off the 2009 release that should also be considered as hits as well including the title track - I Look to You. I think that's where her head and heart were in her final days. i will probably wear out this CD.

I HATE Springing Curls Mousse with a PASSION
|
Springing Curls Mousse by L'Oreal has got to be the most foul hair product I've ever tried - and believe me, I've tried some real stinkers. I have four categories by which I judge hair products: style, control, frizz and hair texture. This mousse failed in all. I HATED the texture of my hair after using this. When my hair was wet it felt greasy and when my hair was dry the greasiness was still there. I HATED how frizzy my hair was from this mousse. In the rain my hair frizzed up so fast! And even when it wasn't raining my hair still has frizz in some places. What I HATED most was the control. The curls didn't hold and my hair wasn't controled enough in general after using this mousse. I wanted alot more hold. I HATED the curl this mousse gave. Curls were in some place but not others. Some places had individual curls but other places had big messy clumpy curls that were stuck together.

Coolaroo Large Dog Bed - Cadet Blue
|
These beds are very sturdy and durable for large and/or rough dogs. I have two 45 lbs. dogs and one 95 lb. dog that use them. My big dog who is long and tall can stretch out comfortably on the large bed and when he is curled up one of the other dogs can curl up next to him on the bed. Two medium or medium-large dogs can easily fit on the large bed. My dogs get on and off, get up and turn around, roll around and wrestle on these beds without causing any damage. Despite all that my dogs subject their beds to, the fabric is still tight and durable and the frame is still strong and sturdy. I put faux lamb's wool pads on the beds because my large dog has very short fur and will not use the bed without the pad. However, my other two will use the bed without a pad. These beds are very easy to clean and do not get smelly like fiber-filled dog beds. I use the beds inside and outside. I highly recommend these beds.

The Best Ever
|
After years of perked coffee, we decided it was time to get with the times and get a drip maker. After a thorough search of retail stores and the internet, we decided to go the price, and get what appeared to us to be the best. We made the right choice. This coffee is super. We have been using gourmet coffee for years, and can't stop raving about much better it tastes with this coffee maker. It is hot, and stays hot. It is fantastic to take the thermal coffee pot to the table, and when the weather is right, to our patio. The programming is unbelievably simple. Our only regret is that we didn't make the move to this coffee maker sooner. We have a Capresso burr grinder that we purchased about a year ago, and that helped give us confidence in the Capresso name. This grinder is a perfect partner to this coffee maker.

This actually works!
|
We are a two-cat household. Our female cat has begun to occasionally pee in a corner, despite the fact that we have 4 litter boxes that I scoop several times a day. We think it is a territorial issue. I bought a bag of this litter and mixed it 50/50 with the old litter in one of the litter boxes and she loves it! She almost exclusively uses the one box that has this litter and I haven't seen her going in the corners anymore (it's been 2 weeks so I'll keep my eye out). The litter clumps well, tracking is about average, and no dust. No strong perfume smell. If you are having a problem with your cat going potty outside the box give this a try. I have also had good luck with Feliway diffusers to help decrease the aggression in our male cat. (both cats have been fixed so that's not the issue). Good luck!

big bully
|
I'm trying to figure out why so many people liked this book. Adrian is just a big bully who does not know how to treat a submissive!!! To me, there was no plot, just one big bully session after another. The way he treated Norris got to be annoying after a while and took away from the erotic scenes. I would have liked to see him acting just a tiny bit human with her. His "me--macho, you--Jane" bit really hit all the wrong nerves with me. She was a sucessful woman with her own business, but of course being over weight meant she had no self-control or dignity, so here comes super Adrian to take over her life and give her self-control and dignity. I enjoy a good BDSM book with male Doms, but I repeat, Adrian is just a big bully. I finished reading the book hoping it would get better. But to the very end, it ran along the same line. It landed in the trash. I'm going to give this author one more shot, but I hope her heroes are at least human in other books.

Fine film, horrible product from Warner Brothers
|
This is a negative review of Warner Brothers - and the digital product that I purchased. This is not a review of the movie.I purchased the Blu-Ray, DVD + Digital copy version. Somewhere on the back of the cardboard sleve that came with the case, are some tiny words that tell you the Digital Copy expires on May 7, 2010. On the front of the package are giant words: "Combo Pack includes Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital Copy". Who reads all the fine print on the back prior to purchase?Expiration date? Fine print? I had intended to wait until I purchased a new computer with a larger hard drive to download the movie (my iTunes folder is getting really big). Why would Warner Brothers behave so poorly? I had no reason to dislike WB until now. I feel cheated and ripped off. I will forever feel hestitant to purchase anything from WB ever again. Buyer beware!

Best book ever! Trust me!
|
Here is an intense mind blowing look at our times. Marc travels the world in search of the past glories of red light districts of famous cities. Some are intact and thriving, most are sanitized with Gulliani precision. Absolutely funny discriptions of Paris sex clubs,Vegas feeding frenzies, and everything L.A. I'm definitely headed for Hunter's bar in West Hollywood,7511 Santa Monica Blvd. Leslie Jordan mentions Hunter's in his Pink Carpet book. Must be the coolest place on the planet. Lookin' forward to 20 inches of hot dogs to coat my throat. Also contained, a marvelously loving insight into modern day Russia(worthy of a film). PS Thank you Marc for letting us know on your website about the new oppression in St Peterburg.So sad! Don't they know that if you trample on the flowers you get weeds in their place. Spine-stinging,prickly,noxious weeds.

Let the Kids in!
|
Umm, what about us? I read the reviews here and most of themcame from adults. I really liked this book. It helped me understandHarry Potter better and the connections really gave you something tothink about. You older people may not have liked this book, but theonly good reviews came from kids. No book is trash. That's what I'velearned. And I want to be an author when I grow up. Those who havealready grown up sometimes don't give books a chance. I'll admit- ittook me two weeks to get into Redwall. But what about the goodqualities of this book? There's a complete list of every singlecharacter in the first three books. I must have skipped over orforgotten lots of them! There are great discussion questions- I nowhave ideas for my website. And what about the vocabulary at the end ofeach chapter? I now know a lot more words than I did before. Adultswho have read this may have already known them. But kids haven'tlearned everything yet. And I like to learn.

Great DVD, but incorrect version sent
|
Now, I love the Tales of the City series of books, and the DVDs are almost better. Further Tales of the City volume 2 is much darker than the previous episodes -- with more sexuality and less character. But still it was great to see another episode.What spoiled it, though, was the DVD I got was completely without any booklet. There had been one in previous episodes, so that was disappointing. But the worst thing was that the default subtitles were French and were on by default. So you had to actually switch them off. And also, not that it matters much, but there seems to be no English subtitles -- at least not when I checked.Was despatched from Germany rather than the US, so that could be why. But hey, I ordered it from the US so why isn't it a US English version? Very strange.However, it was great to see more Tales of the City. I only wish the other books were made into TV series too. Please, Armistead? :)

Great Cross Trainer Bike
|
I've bought high dollar bikes in the past but I just wanted something to take a spin on and get a little different type of exercise. I read many of the reviews and I can say in a nutshell that this bike is great for getting out and enjoying some exercise. It is aluminum but it isn't real light. Who cares. You'll get more exercise. I'm sure no one's going to buy this bike for the Olympics. It was pretty easy to put together and with a few simple adjustments I was on the road. Unless you are about 6'2" or have a very long inseam of 35" plus, I'd recommend the the medium or small size. It looks good too so you won't be embarrassed to be seen on it. This bike will last you for years. Good luck, and have fun.

Simply Great!!!
|
It's been a while since I listened to Simply Red on CD, but that's going to change effective NOW! I bought this DVD without any expectations other than watching Mick Hucknall perform his standards. I was blown away!! I highly recommend watching the documentary before watching the concert. It started out great and simply got greater over the 90 minutes that Simply red performed. His band is exceptional! It was interesting watching the crowd at the beginning of the show and subsequently standing and participating with every song. His talent and the bands tightness created a masterpiece with "You Make Me Feel Brand New." The concert continued uphill. Bravissimo! Not having the opportunity to attend, the next best thing was watching this DVD. It renewed my faith in music.

An experience for sure.....
|
A friend of mine loves this band, and he insisted I watch this DVD. Surprisingly, I liked it very much, even though there were times I was laughing at the sheer silliness of it. If you like thrash metal played very loud, very fast, and love watching a lead "singer" who looks like Gollum scream, this is the DVD for you. Most of the time these concert DVD's are not particularly well filmed, but this one is. There is some startling split screen effects and excellent camera work, which is something one doesn't normally associate with stuff like this. The crowd is really appreciative of the band (Strapping Young Lad recorded this in Vancouver, their home base), and their drummer is phenomenal. He's a really big guy, yet he has incredible dexterity for a man of his size. He also mugs a bit for the camera, and it's very funny. This was my first experience with Canadian thrash metal. It may be the last, though I'm not sure. Still, it's an experience.

Genius is no Genius DO NOT BUY
|
I bought this scanner hoping to scan all of my files and go paperless. What a joke. I installed the software and set up my computer files. I started scanning one by one until I had scanned over 2000 documents into different files. I was so excited and thought everything was fine until I scan an item and get a message from the scanners software: memory full. That was it no other warning no nothing. So I started to put all my files on a storage drive and guess what NO FILES. The software deleted everything. I bought two recovery programs to retrive the files but neither worked. So I called the company. What another waste of time and a joke. Then I emailed their customer technology center. This guys name is ARIE or something like that. He does not know anything or have any suggestions to help me. I did a little research and this seems to be a common problem with this scanner. DO NOT BUY...

Getting Sutures Less Painful Than Watching this Movie
|
I am convinced that the positive reviews are from people affiliated with the movie (or their friends). I enjoy a good B horror flick, but there was absolutely nothing remotely entertaining or redeemable about this movie. Felt like a high schooler's attempt at making a movie (and cafeteria friends who acted the role). The reviewer who noted the audio issues was exactly right. This may go down as the worst movie I've seen in all time. Would be PERFECT for Mystery Science Theater 3000, however, if it were still around! Under that circumstance a winner...In fairness, I could only stand this for about a half hour before turning it off. I should note I got it as a distraction while I needed to sip a disgusting prep for a colonoscopy the next day, and it still didn't fulfill its purpose! The prep was less aversive. Rent at your own risk! Wasn't worth the buck I paid at Redbox... Read the limited reviews with caution...

Through Rose Colored Beer Glasses.
|
Where I was thoroughly enjoying the first half of this book by the end I found the author a whine of inaction. Yes, I get it - your name is JR - they are not your initials - your father left you - you have an identity crises. But do I need reminding every ten pages? Where the bar sequences are fun the book is ultimately about nothing. The author feels sorry for himself but doesn't act. After years of loving his time at the bar the writer has a sudden and not very well explained turn from his haven. Why?Also, all those years of heavy drinking with no consequence. Really. No consequence to any fellow customerS. Really?I'm also tired of writers and filmakers now using 9/11 as a self discovery tool. It is both cliched and insulting.The book committed the worst sin of a memoir - I stopped believing it.

worth trying

I chose this heater because I could use my existing vent. The first one was damaged in shipping but Bosch shipped a new one within a week. I use well water at a ground temperature of 54 deg. fh. The water coming out of the tap is comparable to the 50 gal tank heater I replaced. However, when taking a shower I notice a slight pressure drop when someone else opens a hot water tap. I also notice a slight temperature change as the water pressure changes with the pump cycling off and on. Overall I can put up with these quirks if I can save on propane. I might try narrowing the working range of the pump. If one had a city water supply they wouldn't have this problem however I know the nearest municipal to me use water from a river which is 39 deg. during the winter. I'm also concerned about the maintenance the heater requires but would still install it if I had a choice.

Disappointed
|
Bought this book after hearing some rave reviews. I was disappointed in the lack of information about the motivation for the terrorists. I am not an Opera fan, so all the people who were in love with the Opera singer just because she was good at Opera and was young and pretty seemed shallow. The opera singer herself seemed rather shallow & I never really understood why she fell in love with Mr. Osikawa. He liked her voice - but so did 20 other men there. He was the richest, but nothing else seemed to set him apart. Also, the emphasis on beauty was a bit annoying. Carmen & Roxanne were pretty, therefore they were good and kind a sweet. Beatrice was not, so she was stupid, mean and selfish. I know this wasn't the intention, but that's how it struck me. I was disappointed.

Incense And Peppermints6. Unwind The ClocksWhenever someone releases a CD from the original album I will purchase it.

Diana: Stick to what got you there!
|
Songs stink, arrangements stink, album stinks. What's different? Songs by that immortal composer...Elvis Costello!!?? Gimme a break! Quick, folks, name a great song written by this guy. OK, then, name me ANY song written by this guy? She'd do better doing songs by the REAL Elvis. What happened to Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington? Can any of you imagine Sinatra, Ella, Sarah, Billie, Dinah, or Carmen McRae wanting to record any of this junk? I can't. I guess she figures that since she married the guy, she needs to boost his ego a bit. His songs stink, Diana! She can still play and she can still sing and the players are great, but even using those great ingredients, it still adds up to a bad product.

Beautiful pictures and easy to use
|
I love this camera. We've had this camera for years and still very happy with it. It takes gorgeous pictures. I like to do a lot of scenery and outdoor photography (amateur), and this camera has captured beautiful colors. It's also not big and bulky. As far as pictures in dim lighting, I took a shot of my son with his father after turkey hunting one day. It was getting dusk, and the background was dark, but the picture turned out beautiful with this camera, one of my favorites. I wish I could put it on here so you could see it. Anyway, GREAT camera and has lasted many years with much use (I can't even remember when I bought it it's been so long). We're taking it with us on our wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii in April. I'm confident it will capture every moment beautifully!UPDATE: I did add a couple photos, including the one of my son and his father, to the gallery. :)

Misleading . . .
|
I really thought this was going to be a cute romantic comedy . . . I was wrong. I enjoy Dane Cook most of the time, and Jessica Alba too . . . even the story line wasn't half bad . . . what really killed this movie for me was the obnoxious plastic surgeon sidekick. Dan Fogler was also in Take Me Home Tonight with Topher Grace and I am not sure I can even watch that because I cannot stand the sight of him.

Cheap plastic trimmer breaks too easily
|
The trimmer would be fine except for one major flaw: the plastic trimmer guard breaks under normal use. And that's a big flaw. To access the sideburn trimmer or to clean the unit, you must remove the plastic guard. But the plastic is CHEAP! And after taking it on and off maybe thirty of forty times, it's now snapped in two and completely useless. Reading the other reviews, it seems I'm not the only person experiencing this issue.Panasonic has made it on my "do not buy from" list recently. Their products have degraded in quality recently, and please take the time to look at my Panasonic Viera TV review. They released a $4k HDTV to the market knowing full well it has fluctuating brightness issues in the darks, but refuse to fix it. And now even their beard trimmers are garbage. They are turning out to be a company to skip entirely. Go with Samsung. Or by Braun or Norelco for a beard trimmer. Panasonic is just ripping its customers off.

LOVE IT!!!!
|
Bought this product as it seemed the best product for the money. I was VERY pleased. Love the colors- it coordinates very well with the other items in the room. RED, WHITE, and BLUE- we are military : )It comes with canvas storage cubbies that come in and out with ease. My children simply pull out the drawer and off they go. It makes clean up a breeze as everything gets thrown back in the box and then hides away inside the bookcase. My toddler even likes to clean up as we see who can clean up the fastest. I store Little People, Play food, Barbies, Dress up items, and musical instruments inside. It was pretty simple to put together that even someone who is inexperienced can do it- believe me I am one of the "in-experienced". The product is very durable and I see it lasting a long time. I liked them so much- I bought two.

not quiet at all - even on the slowest speed
|
After reading all of the posted reviews on this product, I decided to give this unit a try. My husband was looking for a smaller unit that he could take to his office at his work. However, once he set it up and turned it on, he got several complaints right away about the noise. His office is approximately 8 feet X 10 feet. He brought it home and I tried it in our home office that is about 10 feet X 12 feet. I also thought that the purifier was too noisy. Finally we decided to try it in a bigger room that was 17 feet X 34 feet and it was still too noisy. So that was three strikes and we returned the unit. This was all at the slowest speed. There was no reason for us to try the medium and highest speeds. We tried to get it to work in 3 different rooms, but when its gotta go, its gotta go. We have other purifiers that are much, much, much quieter even at their higher speeds. So back to the drawing board we go. On the plus side, it is really nice sized unit.
