A Life Saver
|
When I found out that my wife had a lover, I was overcome by a million thoughts and feelings. I wandered if I was being too "whatever". I hated and loved her. I wanted to kill/ignore him. I admired/despised myself for how I was handeling it. What is the normal response to such a revelation? After the Affair told me exactly how and what I was feeling and also told me that these things were normal. The book helped a lot. We are still together, but only physically. Emotionally, we have a long way to go. Because of my wife's abuse as a child, she is struggeling with who she is and what she wants. This book explains a lot about this as well. The other part about these reviews was that I could e-mail other readers and ask questions and discuss their experiences. My wife also read it, and it helped her to understand how I felt as well as what she was feeling. If you are on either side of this equation GET THIS TOOL in your briefcase.

The mystery book no one will ever write as good again!
|
There was a time when I loved to read Agatha Chistie. In those times her books meant everything to me, and I almost didn't read another author. In one year, I read 67 of her books. And believe me, among these 67, AN THEN THERE WERE NONE is the best one.The plot is one of those you don't find anymore on detective books. Ten people that don't know each other hide something terrible of their past. They are invited to spend sometime at a man's house - a man that no one know. And suddenly, one by one, they are murdered in a very suspicious sometimes, sometimes terrible and bloody way. Most of all, the ending is one of the best I've ever read. Agatha Christie was really a wonderful writer. Her books will certainly remain forever, since she is the Shakespeare of detective fiction. And this book is for sure her best work. If you haven't read that one yet and you enjoy Agatha's books, hurry up and take that one!Marco Aurelio.

Excellent Product 10/6/12
|
My LMP was in July 2012 and that was due to provera. I had two miscarriages the first in 2010 which was natural. The second was in 2011 I had to have a D&C and never had a period after that until Doc gave me provera. I went 3 months without a period and fnally decided to research natural remedies for no period. Found it was hormone related and found Emerita Pro-Gest progesterone cream. I ordered and shipping was super fast. Started using it 10/6/12 and 10/13/12 my period was here. Woohooo!! I am a happy camper and will tell every female I know about this progesterone cream. We are ttc so it was difficult waiting for my period. Fingers crossed that I will ovulate like I normally do after my period. I never had an issue with ovulation. Thank God for Emerita Progesterone Cream!!

King Kong Ran Home to Mommy
|
Kong ran away at the end of Godzilla vs. King Kong, G lived to fight in 21 other movies. Nuf said. ( Kong had one great movie (the original Willis O-Brien classic), one silly 70's ape-suit remake and an even sillier sequel in which he gets a heart transplant (King Kong Lives). Come on!! ) This book is a pretty good G primer. My only complaint: Its not long enough! 144pages for an screen legend who's been around for since 1954! That's an insult to him(?) and his fans. Come on Toho/Randomhouse/Sony you can to better than that. Other than this, the original Art Adams illustrations more than made up for the lack of pages. Recommended. -2 points for brevity.. Buy a new G toy or an old video instead, they're cheaper and more fun. Wait for the bargain bin.

Three Part Review - Part 1
|
I too purchased this, or rather had it purchased for me for the '101 Grrreat Nights of Sex' book (which by the way is very fun!). I gave this 2 stars because although there is some good material on here (and very kinky), there is just too many weird, obscure, or plain not sexy tracks. It seems like the CD was trying to include a wide variety of tastes both erotic and artistic. The problem is that people who by it for the erotic value (which I believe is the largest market) are just going to shake their head at some of the "artistic" choices. Overall, there was no focus to the CD. It went from erotic to funny to irritating to bizarre. If you take just the erotic tracks, you end up with about five. Of those, each individual may find only 2 or 3 that appeal to them.[$$$]for 2 or 3 good erotic tracks is a little too much. If your interest in this CD is other than erotic, maybe it is a better choice for you. As erotica, it isn't a lot of bang for your buck.

Piece of junk mouse
|
I've had two of these creatures and they are rodents, not mice. Frequent signal failure. Cursor jumps. Sudden speed up. Worst thing is the scroll wheel. On both mice it got increasingly harder to turn, resulting in inadvertent clicks, data loss, and other problems. I thought the wheel was dirty, and discovered there is no way to actually open the mouse. Eventually the thing became completely unusable, and I pried the top and bottom apart, thus destroying it, but I didn't care about that anymore. To my surprise, the wheel was not dirty at all. However, what I discovered is the thin layer of lubricant that goes between the scroll wheel and its hub was viscous and sticky, and that was what made the wheel hard to turn. The lubricant, in other words, was some form of glue. So, big congratulations to the Microsoft engineers (and you know what else they make) for their thoughtful design. I'm out $100 on both rodents, and MS gets no more $$ from me.

One of the worst scholarly books ever written
|
I don't even have to give you my opinion. Goldhagen shows what a biased, vengeful and spiteful person he is with his flawed research and undocumented claims. This book is the reason why you should start checking the footnotes if you didn't before. You cannot take people's research for granted. Example: p. 166 footnote #13. Read that one in the back. He didn't have time to actually calculate how many people were actually perpetrators, he simply believes the number was gigantic! He says that word for word! HA! There are DOZENS of "facts" like this. Other whoppers: p. 339. Goldhagen here actually creates his own German fantasy about how Germans made love next to concentration camps and how disgusting that is, yet it is completely without proof and later turns out to be his own fictional description that he hopes will convince you of how terrible Germans are. I am not even German and I was offended.

Next to useless
|
Well, here are my problems with this unit:1) It barely works. I use it in a 12x14 foot bedroom. There are two settings, 1500 watts and 750 watts, and you have to have it on 1500 before it warms the room at all. At 750, I can put my freezing hands in front of it and the air coming out of it feels slightly above lukewarm. If I leave it on for a half hour, it raises a closed 60 degree room to 62. This has to be the most inefficient space heater on earth to produce such little heat with 750 watts of power. Literally every other ceramic heater ever made is better. You'll spend much more on electricity over time than you save on the heater. There are much better heaters out there, please buy a different one instead - ANY one. You can't possibly do any worse.2) There's no off switch!!! I couldn't believe this until I read the manual, and sure enough - if you want to turn it off you have to unplug it. Ridiculous!3) It's ugly as sin - it looks like some kind of avant garde sliced egg.

A book every women should own, conceiving or not conceiving!
|
I had heard about charting my cycles from friends online. I had a miscarriage in January and was wanting to try again. After 4 months I borrowed this book from the library and after reading, knew I had to own my own copy. Whether you are trying to conceive or not, you need this book. I have learned so much about my body and when I need to try to conceive. The first cycle we tried, after reading this book, we tested positive. But by charting my cycles and with the help of this book, I knew three days before, that I was again going to miscarry. The book told me the signs. I am now trying again this cycle, with hopes that I can carry this one. But if it were not for this book, I would still be in the dark as to why I can't get pregnant. It is all in the timing. I recommend this book to everyone I know that is trying to conceive or having fertility problems. They may not be problems at all! Thank you Toni!

What a great album!
|
This is a must have for Day fans. She is in great voice (when is she not?) and the musical instruments that back her are just right. It is all orchestrated perfectly. There is a nice blend. As the orchestras back her they do not overpower or undermine her. These two albums are jewals, and Doris expresses the lyrics that I don't think many artists are capable of. She gets right into a song and lives that song from start to finish. It is as though she is singing that song specifically to you. She took her singing seriously and it shows. I hope you enjoy the album just as much as I do.

If you can't walk the walk...
|
What did it in for me in regards to this album, was Amy Grant's personal life testimony. That pretty much made this album really shallow. It lacked the backing of the kind of life that should be behind christian albums.It's "ok" that she got divorced and remarried, if that's what she chose to do. Personally, I was crushed when I heard. But if you're going to live your life that way, please don't continue to preach and minister through christian songs. The stage that she's on is one that needs personal integrity and earned respect. But unfortunately, she doesn't realize that. I'm not really sure what made her think that she could pick up right where she left off.Life choices carry consequences. Everyone deserves mercy, just as God shows us mercy. But ministry carries a requirement for personal integrity and responsibility. You can't live your life however you want and still maintain your ministry of Godly song. And that's what makes this album so shallow.

Very unsafe gate
|
We bought this gate for the top of our stairs. The first thing that we noticed is that the hardware does not allow for any baseboards, so you have to raise it above them for installation. This leaves a gap of about 6" at the bottom. The screws that came with it are not good for drywall, so if you are installing it where there is no stud, you have a safety issue. The latch is a great big bolt that slides into a slot. Not only could the bolt injure your child, but it is not a secure lock. There is a piece of plastic that comes over the tip of the bolt holding it in place and you're supposed to have to push a button to release it. All you really have to do is push that plastic with your finger (we were stunned when our 12 month old daughter opened it)and the bolt (and gate) is released. We are planning on returning this ASAP and getting a safe gate. If you are concerned about the safety of your child and not just wanting the illusion of safety, buy another gate!!

NOT a Remastered cd! The word "enhanced" distorts true issue
|
This is a WARNING to anyone that is about to buy this specific version of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son cd. It is NOT a remastered cd! This issue came from 1998. When I bought mine 3 years ago, it was advertised as "ENHANCED" [DIGITALLY REMASTERED]. This is a total lie and a waste of money. The CD you want was produced in 2002. I bought three other "enhanced" Iron Maiden cd's and I got scammed on those as well. The packaging on the 1998 and 2002 are identical. Make sure you buy the 2002. Maiden pisses me off for putting out way too many repeat cd's of the same material. They use distorted lawyer words like "enhanced" and make different song compilation cd's. It has gotten ridiculous. FYI "enhanced" means a couple of videos added... Read the cd case and it mentions you should have Windows 98!!!

I have written a few books myself and know how difficult themystery genre is to pull off successfully. I read the reviewshere and have concluded I must live on another planet. Referencesto 9/11 have nothing to do with the plot and appear to have beenadded gratuitously to a late revision. The smart-alec dialogue isnot real--NOone talks like these characters. The same "smart alec"theme permeated the non-dialogue as well.The concept of the author seems to be have been keep thecharacters shallow and unbelievable, the plot the same, and throw obscurities at the reader to impress him/her with the author'sbrilliance. Trouble is, he goes too far. I found about thirty ofthem wrong. I put the book down when the author used "magnifyingloop". What he meant was "loupe" which is a magnifying lens. Thereare probably many more than thirty if I were to take the trouble to run them down. Anyone want a free book?

Couldn't put it down
|
The mark of a good novel is its ability to expand your mind while entertaining and teaching you. This book stands up to all three of those conditions very well. Entertaining, very. Captivating and definitely a page-turner. Lots of drama, for those of us who enjoy it, sexuality, some humor, well-written. Educational in its examination of Indian culture. Thought-provoking through its exploration of sexuality in its many forms. I found myself less than sympathetic toward the protagonist, and it was sometimes to the point where I disliked her. However, we can learn a lot more from those different to us than we can from those who are the same. The ideas presented in this book were quite insightful. A great coming-of-age tale.

Funny, juvenile, Goofy !
|
This is a story about a very weird bunch of characters. Reading this was kind of like watching 40 year old virgin and Benny hill goofyness. Some of the comedy is moronic and strange but this book was hilarious. The guy who wrote this must have been one strange individual. He couldn't get his book published and killed himself. Then his mother took the manuscript and got it published and it won a pulizter! LMAO. I enjoyed reading it, but you have to take this book in the context its written in. It is meant to be a goofy, juvenile ridiculous book. If you cant read something like that don't bother you won't like this book. The main character is something else. HE IS VERY WEIRD!

Too Much Talking!!!!!
|
This CD looked so cool when I first saw it. On the cover I read "Words by Chris Carter," so I figured that there was a couple of tracks of dialogue taken from the show. WRONG!!! Every track is blanketed with annoying sound bites from the show (i.e. "Is he human...?", "I don't know..."). If I wanted to hear all that I just should've held a tape recorder up to my TV, I would have gotten the same results. Mark Snow's music can stand alone and do well. But with the inserted dialogue, the music becomes clouded and muffled. It's like saying "Hey, this is X-Files music!" I give Mark Snows music five stars and if I could give the dialogue a -10 I would (at least on the CD). The dialogue should have talked its way off the CD.

Until Norelco's Moi... I hated to shave!
|
Never a "primper", shaving always was a dreaded task! Sometimes I'd let it go until the leg hair tangled into my socks! When my eyes got older, shaving got harder. I've tried other electric shavers in the past... scaping my skin but leaving the hair. Moi has changed all of that! The Norelco money back offer convinced me to try it. I'm sold! Does a fabulous job, even dry and no scraped skin! Superior design, compact, safety sealed for complete immersability. I love it! Pricey though... I hope it lasts.

The Good Old Stuff
|
In Italy The Avengers are almost unknown. The only items you can find are the season '67, '68 and '69, all in colour. So when you look for the earlier seasons, the only thing to do is buy these box from A&E Television. Very good stuff, remastered and everything, I'm very happy with this purchase. But when I look at the back of the box, I see when it's been released: 1999. Almost ten years ago. And then you understand why there is so few bonus material. No subtitles, and just a handful of little fotographs. There is a booklet, of course, like there use to be in these days. I said, I'm very happy with these DVD. Only, I don't understand why such a beautiful piece of television can be published only once, so long ago, and cannot be found in a more recent edition, with a little something more. Anyway, I'm glad to have it, and I will purchase more of them.

Just read the book jacket - one million times
|
The review titled "Interesting thesis - boring delivery" could not have said it better. At first, I found the book interesting. It was interesting to see that such a subject could be studied and a thesis-like approach could be used. But the conclusion of the book was on the book jacket. And it was repeated throughout the book. When I was finished with it - I felt really empty. The "surprising secret" of the wealthy? It was no secret and it was not surprising. Of course you have to be thrifty to become rich. The authors' advice was more or less "never spend money" and I think that is a wrong advice to give. You should work hard at life and with your hard earned money, you should use it wisely. Using big sums of money is not wrong - it can indeed be an investment if you are using it using it for purposes such as education. But if you are wasting money, even a penny is too much.

Onkyo lies.

Yea,Yea the reciever sounds good no complaints. Just like a hundred others. The distinguishing feature for these amps is it's advertised network capability. That was the deciding factor in our purchase of this product.Do not be fooled!!! Yes you can plug a Cat5 cable into this machine beyond that there is no network capability! The "software" should be classified as as a virus. No excuse for producing software of this nature. It does nothing it says that it will and can lock up a machine.Shame on Onkyo!!! Do not purchase these products. You will loose several days of your life to corporate lies. I will never purchase any Onkyo product again for any reason.

Great Game, But Don't Rush to Get It If You Have 2004
|
The biggest reason to get newer additions of this game is updated rosters. As a huge OU fan, that makes it worth my money, but you won't notice any significant differences from last year's 'model.' That makes sense. EA shouldn't make any significant changes to a game that is already fantastic.A couple of interesting features:1. You can see individual matchups between players. This helps you with playcalling to focus on mismatches.2. You can alter the formations in your team's playbook, giving you different sets of plays to choose from. You can't choose the individual plays within the formation, but there are a ton of different formations available. This gives you a ton of playcalling choices.BOTTOM LINE: If you HAVE to have updated rosters (like I do!), buy the game. If you don't have the 2004 version, buy the game (the online component is a must have). Otherwise, I wouldn't put it at the top of the list.

No no no...

I loved this and ordered it as a gift for my husband. When we started to assemble the firepit we noticed the packaging wasn't all that great. Last, we opened up the granite slabs that go around the edges. Every single piece of granite was BROKEN! What a shame. We were so disappointed. Had I noticed that this was going to be shipped from Target, I would have just gone to the store and got it. After getting quite the run around from Amazon and Target, Amazon finally agreed to accept the firepit as a return. At first, they wanted us to pay to ship the 60 lb box back to them, but eventually agreed to pay for shipping. Once they agreed to that, they made the process very easy actually. I was happy with that part of the transaction. My money was refunded the next day. I love the look of this, and wasn't able to find it in any store, so we had to get a round one. If you do go with this one, good luck getting them to take it back if anything is wrong with it.

NOT worth the price
|
I am a student of Opera and Voice Performance. This set sure looks nice, is high quality, and has many pictures. The CD's play OK, too. However, the historical background provided is not the most thorough or accurate for that matter. The audio for each Opera is not outstanding. You are better off purchasing a DVD of each Opera (you will also save money). I guarantee you. If you want to learn music history, buy a used, old textbook. It is more accurate than this poorly written text. To top it off, this product has no re-sale value. Not worth what it costs.

Brings Back The Memories
|
Wow!! Where did Shanti and Johnny Dollar go??? I remember they opened for Debbie Gibson sometime in the late 80's or early 90's. My friend and I went just to see Times 2. We took a banner and were asked to go backstage and meet them! TOO COOL for a couple of high school fans! I know this album had some good songs : Cecilia, Strange But True, Only My Pillow Knows, and the best was Come Over. Certainly the stuff early 90's dancy type albums were made of!Enjoy!!Another one to check out, Dan Reed Network, just for the song Ritual. Tommy Page, similar sound to TImes 2. I think these were out around the same time. Aww, the one hit wonders of our youth! These albums would probably make me laugh or cringe now, but they were great fun then!

Runs great, plays great, looks great

OK so I have just started playing this game, logging maybe 5-6 hours, but I have experienced no bug or stability issue or anything of that sort. I broke the piggy bank to upgrade my PC but I have not spent $2000 either, what some people say would need to put together a rig that can run this game.I run a 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad. 4GB RAM. Vista 32 Ultimate. 8800GTX, and a 1248x1024 monitor. The game runs very smooth with everything on Very High with no AA. Some might say the "low" resolution of my monitor helps. When I'm on water where there aren't too many texture maps to update, I can run with 8X AA and everything would still be smooth.Game play is great but can be annoying sometimes. For instance, you don't have a "always run" mode so you always move too slow unless you keep the shift key pressed. And with all that advanced technology why can't the darn binoculars let me see through thin walls and shoot them like the rail gun in True Lies???

Good Replacement Charger
|
I got this charger for an 18V cordless drill that was given to me missing a charger. Since the drill itself was free, I didn't want to spend a bundle on a charger, and this unit fit the bill (pardon the pun).I had to enlarge the photo to make sure it would fit the shape of my battery pack. It did. But at first the charger would not work. That is, the red light didn't come on and no charging was happening. This was probably due to this being a replacement charger, not the original. The negative connection on the charger was going to unused connection on the battery pack. This was an easy fix for a tech. I opened my battery pack and soldered a wire from its existing negative terminal, to where the charger's neg term was, and voila, charge on.The charger and the battery battery both get warm / hot while charging. I recommend placing them both in the airstream of a desk fan... seems to keep things cool and happy.It was a good fit. Right on the price. Unit works for me.

Huh?!?!
|
I have a 26-month-old who is on par with 5-year-olds for his vocabulary. He loves books, and mostly longer books that tell a story. I saw this at the library and decided to see what the hype was about. I was so confused as to why this is rated so high. My son asked me "Mama, what's mush?" Um.....I didn't know what to say. What is mush? Is that even a noun? I know mushy is adjective of course. Then the "old lady" aka a rabbit - so confusing! My son again asked "what's an old lady?" Well an old lady ISN'T a knitting rabbit. He clearly knows what a rabbit/bunny is. He knows what a noise is, since he always asks "What's that noise?" when he hears something. At the end when the author writes "Goodnight noises everywhere" makes no sense.All in all, I think this book is confusing and detrimental to a toddlers vocabulary. So glad I didn't pay for this one and I recommend you don't either! There are books out there that are so much better and valuable!

Great Sound - Extremely Poor Packaging
|
I bought this remastered version to replace my original copy that I have had since it came out. It's a great CD and I have played it many times over. You have to ignore the reviews that bash it because they are trying to compare the music to Led Zeppelin. Of course it sounds like Led Zeppelin. That's where the influence comes from. Is the music as good as Led Zeppelin? Of course not. But it is awesome music from a band that rocked. My big hang up with this new remastered release is the poor packaging. They didn't only screw up the track order but they were sloppy about sticking with all capital letters versus mixed case track titles. The rest of the packaging is about as bland as can be. There are no album credits or liner notes anywhere. Doesn't even list the members of the band anywhere or say who produced it. Looks like I will be keeping my original copy and trading in this new unprofessionally packaged remaster.

Excellent Power
|
This is my second purchase of a stick broom in less than two years. The first one I purchased was another brand. Since I am tethered to oxygen, a cordless model seemed to be the answer. It had a re-chargeable station which failed after less than 1 1/2 yrs. and wouldn't even pick up sesame seeds from my kitchen floor!! My daughter has had a Hoover Flair for about 4 yrs.I purchased the Hoover Flair electric broom in September and just love it. I don't even mind if my tubing tangles with the cord because it is such a great product!! I also love the color. It's a burgundy red and so cheerful and yes, it effortlessly picks up the sesame seeds from my kitchen. In fact, it is so powerful, that it sucks right down onto the floor. It also has a rug setting which I use on my small braided rugs in the kitchen and bathrooms for in-between vacuuming.I purchased this broom on Amazon.com with free shipping and no sales tax.

THE BEST!!
|
This is a definite classic. The best out there. It has the new Advanced Game Boy graphics. You will find 3-d things in it. The game play is astonishing. I have beaten it twice but I still find it fun to play because of all of the moves. It comes with fighting combos that are much easier than the Mortal Kombat combos that require things like left-right-jump-punch-left-down. It has good replay quality because the difficulty level is alot harder when changed. I highly recommend this instant classic to be the first game you buy. It was my first game for it and I am not sorry. So if you like scrolling action, fighting and adventure then buy it now.

Fun, Classy, Brilliant

My wife wanted this movie, and I was surprised to find it on DVD. Was I glad! If you've forgotten about how good movie musicals can be, give this one a try. With Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly and Phil Silvers at the top of their form and with words and music by the Gershwins, this is about as good as it gets. Of the great female dancers in movie musicals, there is Rita Hayworth, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron and a few others. Trained as a dancer since childhood, Hayworth always was right up at the top of the list. This movie shows why. And of course, she's drop-dead gorgeous and a darn good comic actor. Gene Kelly's dance with his alter-ego in this movie may not be as famous as his Singin' in the Rain number, but it should be! Try it. You'll like it!

Smoke comming out after only 3 minutes of use
|
I just received my new KP26M1PSL with serial # starting with W14. I am not sure but the mixer looks used. The attachments are blemished like someone washed them in a dishwasher or they were stored in a damp place for a long time. Could be the second one since I read serial numbers starting with W14 are the older discontinued model. Yes you are not supposed to wash the parts in a dishwasher.I unpacked the mixer and decided to give it a try. Started mixing my favorite pizza dough first on speed 1. 2-3 minutes later I switched to speed 2 (per the booklet) and after only 1 minute heavy smoke started coming out the back of the machine. I called customer service and talked to Justice. She was helpful and placed a replacement order. Unfortunately they are on back order and it will take 2-4 weeks before I get the replacement. Hopefully it will be an unit with serial above W15. I will report after I receive it.

Top Secret Recipes Clone of...Junk
|
I may be 12, but as a serious cookbook collector, I know a good author when I see one. That's why I bought Todd Wilbur's first book, then his second, and then his third. His fourth book disappoints. Of the three recipes I tied, all but one turned out hideous. Nabisco Reduced-Fat Cheese Nips tasted like cardboard, probably due to something called " fat-free cheese sprinkles " being used as the fat in the recipe. Nabisco SnackWell's Fudge Brownie Bars are also terrifying to the tastebuds. Imagine a chewy bar, sickeningly sweet yet bitter at the same time and tasting, well, VERY low-fat. Shivering yet? The Entenmann's Light Fat-Free Golden Loaf, which I made for a strawberry-peach trifle, turned out just fine. All in all, this is a horrible cookbook that nobody should invest their money in. Try " Loonyspoons: Low Fat Food Made Fun " instead.

Great item; best price
|
My family had a similar waffle maker to this one when I was growing up. It might have been a Sunbeam. When I was in college, I bought a smaller waffle maker for a dollar at a second-hand store. It was old, but rugged. I needed to repair the wiring a few time over the years, but it lasted another 30 years!When it came time to replace it, I wanted another sturdy product. I didn't want a Belgian-style waffle maker. This Black & Decker model fits the bill. It certainly doesn't have the heft of the products from the middle of the 20th century, but it seems well made. More importantly, it cooks waffles magnificently! We've also used its griddle side to make grilled cheese sandwiches. The kids loved them!The Amazon price was also unbeatable.

My go to stuff for pet messes
|
I've tried so many kinds of specialty pet cleaners and none could ever compare to Get Serious. This stuff is fantastic for everything. Can be used straight from the bottle or you can heat it up for more cleaning power. Doesn't take much to get the job done either. It does tend to run a bit higher than others but well worth the price. Remove stains and odors excellent and with little effort. Get a small bottle and just keep refilling it with the gallon size. Great pre-treatment for rug cleaning as well, watch out if you add it directly to your rug cleaner you could end up with alot of foam! So I just use it on spots and use a spray bottle to mist large areas to refresh before I hit it with my rug cleaner, that way I don't end up with a ton of foam in the machine. I use it as pre-treatment on laundry for stains like blood and such, or sometimes just squirt some into the washer. We've been using it our home for years and nothing else I've used has come close.

EVER BEEN TO CALIFORNIA?
|
Has this author ever BEEN to California? Was this "book" self-published? The illustrations look like they were run off on an old copier. If you know the Golden State, check out the hand-drawn, completely disorienting "map" on page 6. Even better, go to page 131 and follow on a map his description of a fault -- south across hiway 166, east back across I-5, and finally north across 99 on a ENE track. Is this a fault line or a lost tour bus? I grew up in So. Calif. and I've studied tectonics extensively (self-preservation). I think this might be (horrors!) some kind of text book, but most of the material is not his research, it's from elsewhere...I won't say the "P" word. I wasted $16 on this, used. Don't make the same mistake. There IS no way to predict tsunami or earthquake action.

great movie!
|
Initially, when I heard about this movie, it really didn't interest me. A mobster movie that takes place in a restaurant? Every mobster movie does that for at least five minutes and then goes on to the more interesting aspects of mob life. Yeah, Italian mobsters eat in Italian restaurants, but that's just where they eat. If I wanted to see food or people eat, I'd just watch the food network. So, yeah, this movie didn't interest me at first, but it's really quite good! I'm so glad I saw it! The pace of the movie is so fast, and yet it flows so naturally. I didn't expect the cool ending, mostly because the story just kept developing and developing and it seemed like the night would just go on forever (in a good way). It's like a really long episode of Cheers but in a fancy New York restaurant with mobsters and hipsters. All of the characters are fascinating and charismatic. It's a very rewarding movie definately worth seeing!

Surprisingly great film!
|
I have never seen the original Romero films, so I really had no basis of comparison. However, I do like a good horror flick. Unfortunately, the good ones are few and far between. This is one of the good ones.There are some things about it that make it slightly different from other horror films. The most prominant is that the movie only ends once. You know how most horror films have about 5 endings, and sometimes it just gets really old? This one ends once, and you are left thinking, "That was a really good way to end this film," very satisfying. However, if you keep watching through the ending credits, you see how the story *really* ends. The way the director weaves in the ending of the story is very clever, IMHO.The soundtrack was really good, as well. The jazz version of Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" is priceless. There are some really humourous moments in the film, as well, if you like dark humour.I highly recommend this film. You won't be disappointed.

Oh-No!!! Another bad book from Dan
|
This is the second Dan Appleman book that I have reviewed (the other being "Developing Com/Activex Components With Visual Basic 6"). In both books, Dan starts to tell you about something and then he goes off on some tangent and starts talking about something else. Maybe he will get back to the original subject. This is like debugging spaghetti code, only this is Dan's writing style. It is very hard to follow and very frustrating. Not all of Dan's books are like this. I did not buy this book and when a friend asked me to review it, I was a little leary. Dan's book about API is very good. I was hoping for better from Dan. Too much talk. Remember Dan, Keep It Simple!!!

Not a "Complete" Guide to Quiting, as the title indicates
|
I am a beginning quilter and thought that a book with "Complete Guide to Quiltmaking" is its title would be just that, but it isn't. There is not one illustration of a person demonstrating a quilting technique. Oh, there are diagrams of patterns and pictures of quilts, but they were not sufficient for me to understand. For instance, the bias binding technique is limited to one sentence, whereas in Marsha McCloskey's Quick Classic Quilts, a whole page (with 5 pictures!) is dedicated to the technique. Guess which one I use? My other quilting reference book is the Singer Quilting Bible. The book, Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!!, sits gathering dust.

Classic Cartoons
|
People should be aware that the other review of this video refers to Tex Avery's Screwball Classics Vol. 4, not Vol. 3. Mr. Komorowski has this video confused with that one. This video contains some real classics. I used to watch cartoons on television anticipating seeing a new Tex Avery, and they are certainly some of the funniest cartoons ever. I only give this 4 stars because House of Tomorrow and T.V. of Tomorrow are not as good as the others. They are okay cartoons, but Avery has made better stuff than those two that should have been included instead. Also, T.V. of Tomorrow is also on Vol.4, which is a bit of a nuisance for Avery fans who collect all four of the volumes. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to see the list of all of the cartoons on the tape.

Great
|
I mostly use these as baby wipes. They are great for the "tougher messes" that the thinner and smaller baby wipes can't clean up. You usually just need one wipe for a dirty diaper as opposed to 4 or 5 baby wipes. Plus they are antibacterial and leave the skin soft and hydrated. They just seem to be much better on my child's skin. In addition, they have proved useful in many other clean up situations. For example, I use them after my 1 year old gets out of the pool or has been in the sun to help get the chlorine and sunscreen off. Basically, they are fantastic anytime a regular baby wipe just isn't enough. Children get dirty and messy and sometimes they need a mini bath. These are perfect for the times when getting them into the tub just isn't an option or it takes too much time.They are also great for personal cleansing (feminine or otherwise). I highly reccommend these wipes.

This is the REAL "real thing."
|
Hugh Hefner drinks Pepsi, which is a big point in its favor. But...I don't care what anti-conspiracy data I get, I remain convinced that "Coke Classic" does not taste like Coke did before "New Coke" had its ignominious reign. I've never liked "Coke Classic." It just was never the same. Pre-New Coke was an unmatched ambrosia. Until now. Boylan Cane Cola really tastes very, very close to the way I remember Pre-New Coke being. It has bite, an edge of berry, and manages to be full-bodied without becoming heavy. Too many "small batch" sodas have fancy bottles containing average sodas, no better than the supermarket brands. This is not one of those sodas. It belongs in the realm of Orangina, Vernor's, and Thomas Kemper Root Beer. I don't think I can reasonably be expected to diet as long as this remains on the market. I'm nutty for the stuff!

I plotted out the expectation of gain for different markets with different ratios of gainers versus losers and it fits almost perfectly with the numbers given in your chapter on random markets. How did you arrive at your numbers? Was it theoretically derived or experimentally observed? You mentioned both. Very impressive. It seems you have a very powerful way of measuring trading profits in any type of market against the expectation in an efficient random market. Congratulaions, it is something new and we are writing some trading programs and neural nets based on your work. However, we don't intend to publish our results. They are being patented. How come you published this analysis? I guess you figured no one would figure it out without graphs or diagrams. You were almost right.

Thursday, Full Collapse -- don't bother
|
When I first heard the song "The dream", I thought, what an incredible song! Although this song isn't on full collapse, I bought the CD. After some time of ownership, I don't see what all the fuss over Thursday is. There are one or two good songs, #2, and #9. But who really wants to buy a CD with only a couple good songs? The singer's voice is immature, scratchy, and he has very little singing talent. If you can get over that, then you will somehow have to swallow 12 or so boring and distasteful songs. How did these guys make such a bad CD? The songs just aren't well written and the album is poorly put together. I do have to admit that I really like the artwork. Notwithstanding, this is just another example of punk gone bad.

Darin Live at his "almost" best
|
The only reason I say "almost" best is because his 1973 DVD live performance is IMHO the cream of the crop. Live recordings and videos are so much better than recording sessions, and this one is no exception. Darin would have surpassed all of them, had he lived. The interaction with the audience is fantastic. Unfortunately, there are a couple of parts where you can't hear the audience, but you can hear Bobby's response. Until the Curtain Falls always makes me cry. But I put my CD on repeat anyway. There may be another person who comes along who rises to Bobby's level, but I truly doubt anyone will surpass him. RIP Bobby. We love you!! Also RIP Sandy, I love you too.

Fun classic
|
There's not much to say that hasn't been said. A zillion and a half wasps invade the town of Itching Downs (really, with a name like that, what do you expect? So it's not a waspish sort of town, the wopsies clearly think it is!), and, having apparently depleted the options of "evacuate" and "wait for the first killing frost" and "use up our hoarded stores of illegal DDT" the townspeople decide to get rid of the wasps with - get this - a GIANT JAM SANDWICH. (You didn't see that one coming, did you?) Most people would have made many many regular jam sandwiches and have been done in half the time, but no, these people think big.They bake a HUGE loaf of bread, use up a HUGE jar of jelly, and SLAM the wasps in between two slices. No more wasps. No more problems. (Well, I guess the wasps figure there's a problem, but this isn't there book, now is it?)Love the rhymes. Not too thrilled with the artwork, but I can overlook it.

The Definitive "Mama Rose"
|
Tyne Daly is absolutely perfect in the role created for the brash belter, Ethel Merman. I personally find Merman's songs empty and hollow. But Tyne's renditions of this powerful and popular score are phenomenal. Her "Rose's Turn" is simply the best ever. It beats out Bernadette Peters' and Angela Lansbury's versions. Her voice was hoarse and coarse when this CD was recorded because she was very ill at the time. So this album is not a true mirror of what her performance was. But even through her illness, you get the emotion and pain in Rose's songs. Absolutely Perfect! As long as you don't mind the sound of Tyne's "sick" voice, which is only bad in certain spots, I say get this recording.Gypsy Recordings to Buy:1. Tyne Daly2. Bernadette Peters3. Angela Lansbury4. Ethel Merman5. Bette Midler's TV movie

Kelly's Biggest Fan!!!!!
|
Oh My God!! This album is amazing. I was so impressed with Kelly on the show and from the two singles. But this album just goes to show you why she was crowned the original American Idol. Not only does she sing the heck out of the songs she also co-wrote several. For a debut album that is amazing. I can't wait to see the wonderful things Kelly will do in the future. I highly recommend this album if you don't have it already. We can expect great things from this one. Congrats to Kelly and I wish you the best is all that comes your way. You deserve it!

Pratchett is Magical
|
Terry Pratchett has really carved his own little niche in the fantasy genre. I am often reminded of Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series when I read a Discworld novel. Excellent prose, and the dry, witty, British humor you can't get enough of.Men at Arms is the second Discworld novel featuring the Night Watch (the first was Guards! Guards!)The Watch features the crew from the previous book (Vimes, Carrot, Colon and Nobby) and some new recruits. Someone is murdered in a most mysterious way, and it's up to the Watch to get to the bottom of it.What I love about Pratchett is he doesn't settle to just write a witty satire. It's actually a great mystery/fantasy story with great characters who have excellent believable relationships.Men at Arms even has some scenes that I found emotionally stirring. I loved Guards! Guards! but I personally enjoyed Men at Arms more. This is an excellent and brilliantly imagined story.

Not recommended, even for beginners
|
This book has 21 example flash movies and how to make them. It is not a book to learn the basics of flash, just examples. Each of the 21 chapters/examples are so wordy I kid you not, it took 21 lines just to describe how to copy frames from one movie to another. Superbly wordy. If feel the authors were definately trying to fill in space with words or they are totaly undermining the intelligence of their readers. (Epic (the authors) you need to fix this, it's was most annoying). Secondly, the examples were way too simple and not did not progress throughout the book. Many of them were not much different from each other (come on, not fair!) Even as a beginner they were too simple. For the cost of this glossy paged book it was definately not worth it at all. (Epic, your gonna need sleeker, more advanced examples that are really up to par with the Flash world and please, please streamline your verbage times two).

Don't Waste Your Time
|
This product never worked for me. I was fooled by the linksys reputation and the fact that I had a working BEFSR41. I wanted to keep everything Linksys so I bought this and the G notebook adapter. I could never get it to recognize the access point although everything appeared to be working. I then called support which was an absolute horrible experience. I called 6 times, waiting on hold and average of 40 min each time. I was hung up on twice, put on hold about 200 time to "check the knowledge base", lied to about being sent something in email and was told that it didnt matter to them if I returned it or not. I was also told by support that I was trying to set up a "complicated network" even though all 3 products were linksys. So after 3 days worth of headaches and horrible support I took it back and went with Belkin which setup in 5 minutes!!! Please go with them instead of Linksys. Don't be fooled like me.

STARBUCK BRAND OF JUSTICE!!!
|
Anothe book about Luke Starbuck. His friend Ben Laugham has ben gunned down. He is determined to find the killers, little knowing it would lead him to Billy the Kid. He faces The Kid and also has to face the men The Kid is working for. He also has to put up with Pat Garrett, who is more concerned about getting relected than doing his job. Can Luke find all the powers behind the killing? A fairly fast moving western. I gave it a four instead of a five because several pages are all talk with out much going on. As a whole it will hold your attention. I like Lukes brand of justice. It is much better than some we have today.

Need help from the gods
|
well where do I start? This is the worst. when I was 15 I baught these books, I went to an art school so that I could make cartoons out of these books. I was very glad to hear that these books where going to be made into a movie. Now my problen is this, for one, the dragons didn't have riders, Michael Trentembaun voice was wrong for Tanis (his other work as the flash is better), The CGI was horrible, Why was the draconian done that way? The fight scenes is where you really know that you are watching a third rate job. The Qunesti city was just wrong. When Tanis and the companions meet with the speaker of the sun where is the tower that the speaker works in. Or that city, and the turtle farry. I have every dragonlance book ever releace and I baught this so that they keep on making more, I understand that the story going to be change a bit to fit in into a movie but they butcher it. please, please do better on the next one

Incredible book that should be more available
|
Wonderful book. I have pursued this book for 3 years. Just trying to find it for under $100. Finally, my librarian honey found on Abe Books for $50!!!!! Glad I waited. Don't let the book dealers of America screw you, or your own impatience. Keep looking. AND what a reward. You will not be sorry. Jerzy wrote a fine memorial. P.S. Oh yeah, and one Amazon dealer had a great price, writer ordered product, waited a month to have that dealer say "oops, it's not available", who then advertised same book a few days later, asking now for $130+. Buyer beware!!

Do not buy this product
|
I have a number of Xantrex products and have found them to be good quality. I cannot say the same for thier product support. I have a Powersource 1800 that shorted out. It is less than 2 years old (20 months). It is out of warranty. I am willing to pay to have it repaired. They will NOT repair it or sell parts for it. The best they will do is sell me another unit at 30% off list. I was informed by customer suppoer that they do not repair products that are out of warranty. So beware buying Xantrex(aka Scnieider Electric), Durucell branded Xantrex products, and APC(a Schneider Electric company). Once they are out of warranty, if something happens to the you can throw them in the trash heap.

Very enjoyable

Queenisha "Queenie" Sutton was a beautiful and very successful woman. She did whatever was needed to get what she wanted. That included snaring handsome Zeke Washington! While at a charity fund-raiser Zeke was put up for auction. Winner "purchased" him for a single night. Queenie was determined to make him HER man! She even went to her best friend, Poetta, who put a "voodoo hex" on Zeke. But Queenie got a lot more than she ever expected!Meanwhile, Raymondo (a co-worker) was out to make Queenie HIS woman. But Queenie wanted no part of him! As for Poetta, she was not just a side-line character. Poetta had her own trouble. She was in love with a married man. But the man dropped dead when her love spell went wrong!If you like "sister-hood" then this book is for you! Filled with humor and a sassy wit, this story was easy to like. Well written characters that will keep you reading.

Good album, Great concert.
|
This album came in 1990 which is the year I graduated high school and so therefore may be more sentimental for me than anything but I can't help but love this record. "I cried" is my favorite cut. A great song with some of the same mystical qualities that made the Zep records timeless. My second favorite track is the last one "Watching You" Plant opened his show with this song. I was suprised by that but it was awesome. All of that massive percussion in the beginning balanced with the clean strumming acoustic. I love this song as it is one of the best displays of desperation. "Should my darkness prevail, or does your memory fail" "Love on the wing carry my prayer cherish this moment in times of despair." Another highlight was when the entire band picked up acoustic instruments (guitars and mandolins) and played Liars Dance followed by Going to California. I saw the Plant/Page show a few years later but it wasn't near as impressive. Anyway...good stuff.

A little beyond expectation
|
This is my first Kittie album I bought (thought it would be Spit...). The songs I liked was "What I've Always Wanted", "Wolves", and "Safe". All of the tracks sound so distorted and rough, but that's what gives Kittie the 'energy'. What I really liked about this album was the variety of speed. Songs like "What I've Always Wanted" is a medium-paced song with slow vocal (both roaring and whining), and "Pink Lemonade" is a song with slow everything. I mean it's THAT slow. A song that can take only 2 minutes to sing takes 10 minutes instead. It also has a cover of the song "Run Like Hell" by Pink Floyd (which sounds ok).What I didn't like about this album is that it doesn't have any fast songs. And the riffs sound pretty much the same. They sould've used a variety of effects to create some different sounding songs (like LB). Also, Morgan is over-using her ability to 'roar'. She should 'whine' some more. And not all songs are good...A 4/5...

Literary Mystery Gone Bad
|
Sara Smith's Chasing Shakespeares did begin with exciting language, and Joe's relating of Shakespearean life to his own experiences as growing up poor are interesting. But the plot? And for that matter, the way the evidence is presented? Joe is a cross and selfish twit who snaps at Posy the whole journey. He could be more greatful: Posy is paying for him to be in London, sleeping, eating, reaserching, and snapping. Posy has no regard for the facts. What happened to the story? Joe and Posy are making love frequently, then after the meeting with Goscimer, their relationship crumbles. Was it Ted Gould's fault? What happened? And then there's no conclusion. Joe gets drunk. He thinks he figured it out, but he won't be able to do anything about it. He isn't strong enough to take a stand on what he has found. The case against Shakespeare is interesting, but the way the book is written is disappointing.

Could not get over his arrogance!
|
I love Georgette Heyer and am quickly reading through her entire works. Most I love and read over and over. There are a few that I just make it through. This is one that I could not even finish. I could not get over Lord Worth's arrogance and overbearing demeaning behavior. And that Judith would fall for him at all! Maybe I missed something. It has been a while since I read this book, but even after all that time, I still felt as if I had to write something. I did not like him and could not watch poor Judith fall in love with him. There are so many other wonderful Georgette Heyer books (try Arabella) that it is a shame to waste any time on this one. Or at the very least, save this one until last to read.

I am disappointed in this book. Suzanne comes off as a medical authority on bioidentical hormones. She is not a practicing doctor, so how can she make recommendations on a conversational system of administering hormones called the Wiley protocol. The doctors on Larry King Show should have taken her to task. Suzanne has done a good job of educating women about the impact of insulin on their weight. However, she fails to discuss that at the age of 60, she is taking human growth hormone which helps people lose weight. It is a very expensive and controversial therapy. Believe me she doesn't look the way she does just by dieting. She also has had plastic surgery which she reluctantly admitted to. Women have to stopped being influenced by these hollywood types who hustle books and products to get rich. We all age and go through menopause. There is no magic bullet to weight loss. Eat less and excercise more. We will all get wrinkles and start to sag.

Excellent value

I purchased my first Tamrac strap back in the early 80's. It was of a similar design and has last the better part of 28 years of use. It still looks good and has help up well.Your equipment is only as good as the weakest link. The OEM straps are terrible. They are poorly designed, too small to carry the weight of most DSLRs, and worst of all, advertise what camera you have. Oh looky, looky a Canon EOS 5D, let's rob him.This strap is sturdy, comfortable, the pad is made of leather and will wear forever. It doesn't slip off your shoulder like synthetics do, and is inconspicuous. No big letters or model names, just a black camera strap. I've purchases a few of these over the years. In the 28 + years, the strap hasn't changed much. Model number has been changed, but the build quality is always been top notch.If you're looking for a good, solid camera strap that will out last the camera it's attached to, you've found your strap.

greatest rock band + decent grunge band= Nu Metal?
|
I am really disappointed by Contraband. I heard Slither on the radio, and the endless hype of GN'R members and Scott Weiland when it was first released. Guns was a great hard rock band, and Stone Temple Pilots was a decent grunge band from the 90's. But, as over 10 years has passed since their heyday, the musical landscape has changed. Now, instead of valuing great musicianship and songwriting(GN'R), bands value no solos, using large amounts of profanity, and a lack of smart lyrics( Slipknot falls into this category). So, on Contraband, there are no songs that fall into the first category but falls into the second, sadly. The music is shockingly subpar and have a bad nu metal sound. Scott Weiland sounds terrible. It could be blamed because the same man who mixed Linkin Park, John Abraham, mixed Contraband. Yep, this is a supergroup- just like the disaster on VH1. Avoid getting this album if you enjoy real music.

All hype
|
After seeing the Ojon products several times on TV, I finally decided to purchase the kit with the conditioner, shampoo and restorative hair treatment as well as the volume foam. I could not wait to try them. I gave the products week of steady use, and found that everything dried my air out. I have naturally wavy hair that I color. It tends to be dry, but not overly dry. The conditioner did nothing at all for my hair. It didn't even feel soft after use, with or with out using the Ojon restorative hair treatment. I have had much better results with cheap grocery store conditioners. The "Ojon" oil is just American Palm oil (Elaeis Oleifera) which is widely used in many food and beauty products. It is way too expensive for the poor results. I have read many reviews and see that a lot of people seem to like it, but I think it is all hype. I do not recommend, save your money!

Save your money!

One star is too many! I've tried many of these recipes for my 2 yr. old, and he'd taste it and then turn up his nose. He is not a picky eater! He loves shrimp, broccoli and even eats salad. I thought these recipes would be a fun addition to his regular menu. Don't waste your time on this book. You can come up with healthy creative recipes on your own. Buy some mini muffin tins and buy the cookbook Quick and Healthy II..... take any of the quick bread recipes and bake them in the mini muffin tins and you've got healthy treats for little fingers. Take any of your favorite recipes and bake them in mini loaf tins and you'll have tasty food for little fingers. This book should be called yucky food for little fingers! If anyone would still like a copy, send me... to cover shipping and you can have mine!

After 40 different printer types, this is the worst
|
The Minolta printers are on my never buy again list. Poor drivers, even poorer tech support. The cartridges cannot be refilled, there is a chip that turns off the entire system if it believes the number of pages printed are enough. Example. I purchased anothe new black cartridge. When the yellow ran out, the entire system shuts down. You don't have the option to dselect black only and continue. The cartridges are shut down when they still have 20% toner left. The replacements are above 100.00 and they are hard to find. The printer is very noisy and smells. The print is only adequate and the 4 pass system takes a year to cycle thru....eeeeccchhhh.... a miserable system.

Finally -- dry slacks
|
No . . . not that. But with my other home-to-office travel mug, inevitably as I slid behind the wheel, holding my mug tightly, I'd bump something and splash steaming coffee all over my pants. No longer. Not only does this Travel Mug keep the coffee hot for hours, it seals so tightly I can hold it upside down, even toss it into the passenger seat, and no spills! Construction is outstanding. The only drawback (and reason for four stars instead of five) is that the top is a little tricky to put on straight and screw down, and it takes some practice to unscrew it just the right amount for convenient sipping. A word of caution -- it keeps the coffee so hot that the first sip can burn your lip! I've learned to let the coffee cool to drinking temperature before I seal it up for the trip to the office, or anywhere else.

Twice I Have Been Disappointed
|
I purchased this humidifier last winter for my newborn son. This frog humidifier was so cute, which is why I bought it in the first place. After 3 or 4 months the fan started making a very loud grinding sound. I contacted Crane and they told me they would replace it. I had to send in the tank cap, the end of the cord, and a receipt with the date of purchase. It took a few weeks, but they did send me a new humidifier. The second humidifier started making the same sound again after about 3 months. It wouldn't always make the sound though. Sometimes I would refill it and it would work fine for two days. Other times I would turn it on only to be disappointed by the loud grinding sound. Last week the humidifier stopped working all together. I was so frustrated I just threw it in the trash.

The Staircase`
|
I liked this book. It was pretty good with all the important things. One thing bad about it though, is that it stayed on the same "level". I don't really think there was a "climax". But I did like the story.I'd say that the best part of the book is when the bishops arrives. His so nice, and he knows what Elinora is really like, because she fool alot of people. The worst part, well its not really the book, but more what happens in the story. I hate it when Elinora stabs Cleo the kitten in the eyes with a needle then throws her out the window. She doesn't need to hurt Cleo to show Lizzy how much she hates her.The author did a really good job on characters, I really felt I knew them all like I had really known them for years. The other thing is the conflict, she had like five conflicts going on at the same time. So those were all pretty good.

Has very little worth having
|
Taking a look at the tracklisting, here is a rundown of each track:1. Tell Mama--You can get it on 18 Essential Songs or Janis 3-CD digitally remastered 2. Magic of Love--This song has never been a favorite and is not a very good version here. 3. Misery'n--Would be great, but 80s instruments are added. 4. One Night Stand--Brilliant track, only available here. 5. Harry--Meaningless, but interesting. Only available here. 6. Raise Your Hand--Another great track and the only one from Kozmic Blues Band 7. Farewell Song--This can be found on Live At Winterland '68 digitally remastered. 8. Amazing Grace/Hi-Heel Sneakers--Would have been great if the whole songs were used, instead they are edited down to less than 3 minutes! But worth having. 9. Catch Me Daddy--80s instrumentals ruin this song that is only available here!So, decide for yourself. Personally, I think this should be the last Janis CD you should own!

Couldn't be happier
|
This is our first HDTV and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I first looked at one of these at our local Sony store. After going to all major electronics stores and Costco to look at what was available we decided to go for this Sony. Amazon had by far the best price of $1849 at the time with free shipping. In my novice opinion this TV is the best for the price. I can't really give an in depth technical review, however, the picture is beautiful, the sound fantastic for a TV (we ended up buying a Bose system for more of a theatre sound) and set up simple. I ordered it on 12/1/06 and was a little sad when it told me it would be delivered after 12/27 due to the holiday. The next day I received an delivery date of 12/13 and I'm happy to say it was! The delivery guys brought it into the house, unpacked it and took the debris away...at the free shipping price. What fantastic service. Like I said, we couldn't be happier!

Brutally honest.
|
Friends who have watched this film tell me that there's no one like the girl in this movie. I say they're wrong. I have met men and women so obssesed with themselves that they have the power to drag others into their obsession. This is the story of one such person. Some people call this a beautiful love story but I call it the slow descent into insanity by both of the couple. She slides into obsessive compulsive territory and he, a middle aged man infatuated with her youth, allows himself to be dragged along. The ending was inevitable.This movies is filled with graphic sex scenes which is an honest change of pace for this type of movie. These people actually do it the way you and I would do it at home. There is no attempt to be artsy of fancy. In other words, it is NOT "gratuitious."I found it hard to feel any sympathy for either of them. Maybe more for her than for him because it's obvious she's disturbed. He has no excuse.Check it out, you may be surprised.

Disappointment

We bought this doll for our 3 year olds birthday. She was so excited and loved it. The doll did everything it was supposed to do, sounded real, and was so cute. We gave the doll to her around 2 p.m. and by 5 p.m. all she did was make a sucking noise. We took her back and bought Baby Annebell and are so delighted. She is a much happier baby and is actually eaiser to take care of. Baby Chou Chou took a few tries before you actually got it to work. We are very pleased with Baby Annebell. I read all of the reviews prior to our purchases, but I couldn't get Annabell in the store, I could only get her online so we went with Chou Chou to save time. We ended up just having to wait for Annabell to arrive, but it was well worth the wait!!

Entertaining!
|
I don't like many Bay movies because he has very little skill in crafting a honest and detailed movie. Armageddon was a horrendous piece of donkey dung, everything that's wrong with Hollywood was detailed in that schlock! The Rock is a slightly different proposition, it's entertaining and never tries to be anything but! The story is thin and the dialogue is typically bad at times. The action is excellent and Sean Connery makes the movie work! The direction is very Mtv, the editing is silly at times - what's with the quick cuts? Why can't I enjoy the compositions? Pathetic! But still, the pace is consistent. The acting is okay, Connery's presence elevates the material. Ed Harris is always dependable and Cage is pretty funny as Goodspeed. The music is very patriotic and but fun. Overall, entertaining, switch your brain off! After this, Bay descended into familiar MTV garbage!

Outstanding
|
I bought this because I was dissatisfied with the Krups Gusto. The difference between the 2 machines is night and day. This thing makes a great cup of expresso. The frothing attachment seems flimsy but works great. If I had to do it over again I probably would have bought the Briel Apollo for serveral reasons.1. It is less money.2. The only thing the Apollo doesn't do is automatically turn off (water flow control). In reality this isn't a big deal because by the time you do a little clean up and put away your coffee beans the coffee is ready.3. I like having a seperate tamper/scoop. The tamper is built on this machine. The apollo comes with a seperate tamper. (not a big deal just buy a tamper)Also if you buy any expresso machine make sure you have expresso cups! When i bought my first one i had to make a run to the store so i would have cups for the coffee to flow into.

Shockingly mediocre ....
|
I have been an ardent L.Subramaniam fan for over 20 years, never missing his concert should it happen in my home town. His "Super Instinct", "INDIA 2000" & "Conversations" have sent me into raptures. I still believe he is one of the most talented violinists in the world. Having said all that, the mediocrity of this album is SHOCKING, to the say the least. This sounds like fusion for fusion's sake. The different instruments and melodies just don't blend well. Parts of this album are downright cacophonic. Listening to this album is akin to eating vanilla ice-cream topped with chopped garlic. Recycling is good for the environment, but someone should tell L.Subramaniam that recycling music is not only boring, but is also unethical. He should make a living from now on by just giving classical concerts (which he is very good at) and not disappoint his fans by creating junk like this. What a waste of money !!

Too many parts inside cup.Coffee gets stuck.
|
This silly grinder has too many parts inside the cup. The parts are supposed to help clean out the cup. Instead, they actually help to hold coffee grounds in the cup. The lid even holds grounds. There are way too many contours in the cup. It cannot possibly be cleaned out. At all.Also, you actually have to stand there and hold a button down to operate the grinder. You can't walk away and get your lunch ready. You can't do anything, if it would require you to walk away from the grinder. How is this a good idea? Why in the world can't they have a switch that you turn on and walk away? It could turn itself off automatically, (We know this because that's what it does now; It turns itself off automatically).Summary - Pros: Cheap. <$20 Cons: Does not empty completely. Lots of extra plastic parts. User has to stand by it and hold button down to operate.

Sanaa! Sanaa! Sanaa!
|
Love and Basketball was such an inspiring movie. I literally watch this movie 8 times in 5 days. I could never get enough of it. If you have been thinking about renting this movie do it, do it now, hey why not buy it. You will watch this movie over and over again. The two stars Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps are excellent. Sanaa does and excellent job. She can pull of any roll. In the beginning of the Movie You see Sanaa as Monica the teenager. She can play any age. This movie is like watching your own friends on screen. By the end of the movie you will have swore it was real.

Maybe The Best
|
You just might be able to get me to say that Allan Holdsworth is the best there is. Yesterday, today and probably tomorrow too. Yes, I know about Jimi and Stevie Ray, B.B. and Duane. I don't know, I've just never heard anything quite like Allan. Why isn't he better known? It seems like it's just other guitarists who know him and they're frustrated because they try to reproduce the same sounds and can't. I'm sure being regarded as a "jazz fusion" player doesn't help either. Maybe if we called it "instrumental rock", it would draw a bigger crowd? Probably not. Allan may be doomed to be revered by other musicians and guitarheads like me while the rest of the world gets it's fill of the teenaged sensation of the week or the flavor of the month rap star. Record comapnies really don't have a clue as to why sales are down, do they? Could it be the crap they try to force down the throat of the general public?

no good stay away
|
I recently purchased this nut splitter for my shop tools collection. I was in need of using this tool right away. The first time I used the larger of the two splitter on a bus generator terminal nut. The nut size was 1/2 inch. I tried to cut one side of the bad nut. No go. I turned it around tried again. Still no go. Now after more pressure the frame of the nut splitter cracked. The shipping is seven dollars. It is not worth shipping back. I will put it in the iron pile. No good stay away..

Supernatural horror movie
|
The Ring is a movie about a videotape that kills whoever watches it in one week after viewing. This movie is based on the Japanese movie called Ringu. Watching this movie was definitely frightening. I could confidently say that this is the scariest movie I've ever seen. It's filled with eerie events and unexplainable horror.Naomi Watts stars in this movie as the main character. She tries to get to the bottom of this strange puzzle. She's a journalist and she uses her knack at investigating to figure out what is going on. Her acting is realistic and very good.If you've never seen this movie you should go watch it. I've never seen such strange images in a movie before. The explanation of the supernatural is very weird, though. I realized quickly that I wasn't too frightened about such unrealistic occurrences. Anyway, it's a really good scary movie.

This Blu-Ray is AWFUL!!!
|
UGH! AWFUL! JUST PLAIN AWFUL! Company's logo never leaves the lower right hand corner (obnoxious). Terrible transfer (unless you like your blu-rays full of scan lines). And THE AUDIO IS OUT OF SYNC! By, like, several seconds! At times, Clark was talking but Lois' voice was heard. Hey, not too creepy....Which is all too bad, because the booklet that comes with it is pretty nifty. But that's the only nice thing I can say. I mean, even the cover looks like a bad Photoshop scan.Too bad this is the only blu-ray edition on the market. Hopefully, another company will do it right for blu-ray

It's impossible to navigate.

OK, yes, it's NIV (wish it were NASB), and it's the whole Bible. BUT you are giving up a lot with this edition:* Chapter numbers: they don't stand out at all. They're the same size as the verses. Good luck finding them.* Searches: want to look up John 3:16? Good luck. You can't search for that phrase. Instead, search for John and scroll through until you find the chapter and verse you're looking for. Count on spending about three minutes to do it.* Jesus' words in red: that means it's lower-contrast 'grey' on this device. Black bold would have been a much more pragmatic choice.* No notes: this isn't a study Bible. It's your basic Bible with no references, essentially.* No maps: again, this is stripped.If you're like me, you need a Bible on your Kindle, and this is the best one to date, but it's a compromise nonetheless.

Gag! Really poor script; acting failed to convince, poor action
|
Awful waste of time. Looked terrible onscreen as well--HD. The chick is supposed have a brain at her job but is virtually empty in character, heart and smarts. She falls for the guy who epic-lies to her--and they marry without ever coming clean! Talk about fake love! GAG! You saw it all coming before the end, even who the other guy ends up with. Painful script. And nowhere near the packed action as implied in the previews (they must've used ALL their action shots there!). And the chick's best friend--what was that?! I won't go into the acting. Weak, weak script. An absolute waste of time. Certainly a waste of rent money (glad i didn't buy it, otherwise i'd have to destroy it)!After reading this, if you get the movie (was that a movie?!), It will surely be better than this review cuz the only way is up! Think the absolute worst and this will be okay to watch. Previous consecutive days of absolute boredom may help as well.

Awful singing!
|
Tad and Lily are completely different in this compared to the older DVDs. Apparently they are now twins. In addition to the unnecessary change in the birth order, the singing in this video is absolutely horrible - Off key, hard to hear, and just plain bad. The content is decent with numbers and days of the week presented but it is difficult for anyone to hear and difficult for an adult to watch, unlike the Sony produced videos which were enjoyable for adults as well as children. I could have sung better than these characters . . . which is not saying much. Additionally, all the characters sound like their noses are clogged. The whole sound track is unpleasant. I am giving it two stars only because the content is decent and my daughter did not walk out of the room while the video was playing.

A Good Live Album, But Only One Song From Presto?
|
This is a good live album from this very talented trio of musicians. Rush is truly an excellent group. Although I'm not a very big fan of their '90s material, I still enjoy almost all of the songs on Different Stages. I have only one complaint: why did Rush only play one song live from Presto? When I first got this collection a few months ago, I was disappointed about that. Presto is in my opinion one of the best albums from Rush, and their last truly great album. They could have at least played two or three more tunes from Presto. I noticed that they included songs that have already been on past live albums. That's fine, but Presto deserved more attention than it got on this live album. It would have been nice if they had included the songs "Presto," and "Available Light" for instance. Oh well, this is still a great hits album that I recommend. On the whole, well done.

A Wonderful View of Christian Relationships
|
This book is wonderful. It addresses both men and women's perspectives on relationships. I could not put the book down, once I started to read it. Bishop Long is so on point in this book. It is wonderful to hear from a man what men really want and how they think. From my experience, men are equally as engulfed in this book as women are. I allowed a male friend to read this book at work and he was completely awestruck with it. So, it is definitely a blessing for both men and women. Bishop Long addresses the issues of relationships so well through this book as well as his teachings. Keep up the good work Bishop Long. We need to continue to hear more teaching like this.

Amazing movies! Terrible packaging.
|
The movies are amazing! Finally available in High Definition! The colors are superb, and the clarity is excellent. As you've all heard the packaging is terrible. That is no joke. There is even a website with a video of how to insert and remove the discs. [...]25th-anniversary-trilogy After watching the video I felt confident I could handle it, and as soon as I picked up the set I removed one of the discs only to have one of the small plastic "arms" break off. It still holds the disc fine, but my biggest concern is that the discs will eventually be scratched due to this type of holder. Why they couldn't use the standard plastic "button" is beyond me. I hope they change this soon. When will they realize we'll pay 3 bucks more for packaging that doesn't fall apart or damage the discs.
