love it!
I originally bought this years ago in VHS and needed to to upgrade to DVD. As far as the workout goes, it is excellent. I have many, many workout DVD's by many different instructors. Ellen Barret is by far my most favorite. She is very easy to follow along with. I never feel as though I am falling behind or don't understand the moves.The exercises are simple and she narrates very well. With all her DVD's I have after doing them a couple of times I only need to listen to achieve the workout. I don't need to constantly watch the TV. Which makes for a better workout.If you are looking to start a new exercise program I would wait on this one. It is long. About a 45 min runtime. I would start off (and I did) with "Crunch- Pick your Spot Pilates". After a couple of weeks then slip this one in.

Julie Powell, I don't like you
I had such high hopes for this book and have been sorely disappointed. I've only read about half of it and am making myself finish it since I paid full price for it. Reading should not be a chore. There is so much wrong with it I can't cover it all but here are my major complaints:First of all Julie is downright obnoxious. There is nothing likeable about her. She is whiny, crass, and extremely vulgar. This book is also full of profanity. And I am appalled at her cold feelings towards 9-11 victims. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Second, this book has hardly anything to do with cooking. The author mentions the recipes almost as an afterthought. Third, she completely overwrites and I'm finding my mind wondering on nearly every single page. I am no psychic, but I am rather comfortable predicting that her newest book will be a complete and utter failure. I can see why Julia Child wanted no part in this.

A waste of paper.
This book is terrible. I am an avid reader and I am really sorry I wasted my time and money on it. The main character has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It was impossible to care what happened to this poor excuse for a women. How this novel could be described as fast-paced is beyond me. Three quarters way through the book I was still waiting for something, anything, to happen. At about this same point in the story the author tosses out a stream of vulgar language that seems to have no place in the book. Perhaps it is to get our attention away from falling asleep. Sweeping negative generalizations for nearly every ethnic group mentioned in the story abound. Iranians men are ridiculed right down to the size of their collective private parts. Was the author trying to be funny or just plain offensive? If you need to prop up the leg of a table perhaps this book would have some merit. How it could have been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction I do not understand.

Tried and True
This album was inconveniently overlooked by myself. I don't know how I could have missed it. I continue to see their album being recommended by many a folk. Since there is no Radiohead around this year to satisfy... you can instead buy this album by Midlake. You'll probably get more out of it. There is not the electronic experimentation... just the creepy vocals backed by guitars and pianos. Think more Decemberists... less Muse... and Midlake is what you get. I have listened to their previous album "Bamnan And Slivercork"... and I must say that "The Trials of Van Occupanther" is incredibly superior. It's less congested and more focused. This album is definitely worth the money. You may be even a little bit suprised.

Awful- even to a Robards fan
I enjoy Karen Robards' books. They're fluff-- airplane, swimming pool reading. That's what I bought this one for. My expectations are for entertainment, not brilliant fiction or even a gripping storyline.But I think it's one of the worst of Robards' I've ever read. The plot is appalling-- an 18 year old girl is seduced by her 28 year old step father. (Alright, the husband of her stepmother, but still) Yes, yes, they fall in love. It is a romance novel, after all. But I still found myself astonished that this was an acceptable relationship and I'm very disappointed in this one. There is a disconcerting incestuous overtone, that simply wasn't good reading. So much so, that I won't resell this one or even put it on my bookshelf. It's going right into the garbage can. I won't be buying any more Robards novels for a while.

Purposeless
What's the point? Or, better yet: What's the big deal? Maybe it is a gender thing. I'm a guy, so i don't get the humor of Bridget Jones's Diary. The book is not funny. I found it quite tedious and i often wanted somebody to boot Bridget in the head. I did sympathize with the character at times. Quite a few times to be perfectly honest. Reading this book, i found myself waiting for a payoff that never came. I finish one chapter and think, "How dull." I finish another, "How dreary." I finish the book, "How tedious...and i'll never get that time back." That's when i know i got nothing out of a book, when i realize that i've just wasted whatever amount of time i spent reading it. With all of the hype surrounding this book, i just feel let down and betrayed. It just wasn't interesting.

Awesome cooler
This has been a great cooler. i like the external unit sitting on my case. it's fairly quiet and keeps things cooler. I olike to overclock my compiter and this helps to keep things cooler/stable at high overclocking. I have my E6400 @ 2.13Ghz now @3.4Ghz and it runs so cool now. it runs so cool(58C-60C) I could overclock it more, except my CPU just won't run any more stable. I bought this thing(my second one) for my E8400 which runs cooler by design, and bought a northbridge cooler to add on it and it barely gets luke warm on my. The temperature sensors are messed up on the E8400 so I don't know the actual temperature, but it runs cooler than my E6400 by a lot. I may even try a video card cooler as it runs so cool with this E8400. I like this design a lot. you don't even need watercooling for it I don't think. but it is a nice extra and looks cool.

I HATED THIS, UNTIL...
this was my least favorite album yes released during their classic period. and then one day, out of the blue, i got it. and it hit me hard. it now ranks as my favorite yes album and that's saying something considering the competition. better than the yes album? better than fragile? close to the edge? relayer? yes, yes, yes and again yes. if you do not have hours and hours of free time on your hands you may never get it. this is the ultimate recording for those who enjoy music that works on multiple levels. to those who have nothing but contempt for this album, i truly understand. and i feel sorry for you. you are missing one of the seminal experiences a human can have. give it time. lots of time. trust me. it's worth it!

Mostly pictures
I bought this book thinking it was going to be a biography on Stevie. When I got it I found it to be a thin book with about 90% pictures. The man talked a bit about how he tried to get her to authorize it in the beginning. Then it was all black and white picutes. A few are kinda nice but most are just from a concert taken and they aren't real nice depictions of her. Toward the end he blabbers on about some other artists. Some Tori Amos lady and some other people. I can learn more about Stevie from reading articles free off the internet. I think it was a waste of money (...) on some black and white pictues that I could find better ones free off the internet. Don't waste your money on this book. It teaches you nothing about Stevie. I wish someone would just write a book about her. Like mabye Stevie should do one. She's supposed to but it says it was never published. The moral: don't bother. (...) I could have gotton that Street Angel cd I need!

Nice Photos But Its Faults Aren't Worth It
My family had a Nikon 4300 for a few years and we enjoyed it because of its small size and its photos weren't bad. However, we did come across some problems.1. The shutter lag was utterly annoying and I missed a lot of photo oppurtunities.2. It takes a long time to delete the photos.3. Our lens got stuck or something and the camera gave us a "SYSTEM ERROR" in which the lens would not get pushed in our out.4. Poor photos with low lighting (Very blurry), which includes indoors.5. Battery life pretty short. Half of its energy was gone when I had the thing on for 20 minutes and I didn't have it on the whole 20 minutes.I DID get some good photos from the camera. It's not as manual as I'd like it to be, but I recommend to get a lens protector to avoid the System Error. I tried the Canon S1 IS in Best Buy and it turned on really fast and took photos really fast indoors. Also it wasn't blurry!

This review is of the Blu ray
This is possible the worst Blu ray movie I have ever seen. Unless I have a defected disc. It appears as if the Blu ray was copied from a computer by way of a DVD. The blacks flicker through out the disc. Has anyone else had this problem? Please let me know if this is part of the movie...created by the film maker. Horrorible blu ray quality! Will be returning ASAP. The show looks good through. Will have to wait for it on tv. I did find a solution. Playing this in 3d cuts down on the flickering and it looks alot better.

Best Pedometer for busy Mom's
I love this Pedometer and I have bought the digiwalker and several other pedometers that I have either lost of busted. I clip it onto my jammies as soon as I get up in the morning. I even stuff it in my bra when I want it hidden. I am in a continual competition with myself to get 10,000 steps a day. I love going to the gym but I am busy working part time at a retail store. I love that I can see how many steps I did at work and if I need to up my steps I go to the gym afterwards and run on the treadmill. I love to see how I am doing for the last 7 days. I even wear it to the gym when I do the body combat classes. Just keeps me moving! You will love it! I have not lost this one because it has a clip and a string with a clip. So double security.

Not My Style
This was my first attempt to read a book by this author. It will be my last. I simply could not get past the first few pages. It seems like every other sentence in this book ends with an exclamation point. Drove me nuts. This author's exclamation key on her keyboard must be worn to a nub. It may be just me, but books that contain this kind of punctuation seem cheap and poorly written. This may not be the case here, but I couldn't bear to read it. I think good writing doesn't need help from endless exclamation points or other overdone punctuation. This type of writing reminds me of overblown, farcial stories written for humor and satire. I would give this book zero stars, but the rating system wouldn't let me.

For Korean war buffs and history lovers, Second to None is a must
It was shocking. It was harrowing. And I cried when I feltthe pain of our military men in Korea. I've been so naive about what our history books tried to white-wash as the Korean conflict. It was a brutal war. Barbara's book is a collection of first-person accounts, written by the men who lived through the battles and butchery. It features tales of daring, courage, and self-sacrifice in the face of unrelenting attacks. Their memories should be treasured. Their accounts are so real, the Korean War will forever be etched in my mind. What a tribute! Felicia Mires

Horrible! Criminal!
Why is this book getting even one five star rating? Because the people reading it are evidently as shallow as the authors? Because the competition in with regard to the subject matter is similarly weak? I read 75 books a year. This is the worst piece of writing I've seen -- since I can remember. The authors are full of themselves and little else (shallow). This book is not interesting, not informative and not funny. If you want this book, you pay shipping and I'll send it to you free (hardcover, barely used). No kidding! Even then you'll feel ripped off! [email protected]

More than I expected
I was pleasantly suprised by this machine after some of the reviews I had read. I was in immediate need when I bought this Brother as my old machine just up and croaked in the middle of a dress project. I have had no problems with it and love the automatic needle threader and buttonhole choices. The one thing I did do was buy only the SA bobbins made by Brother for this machine. I have had none of the tension problems I had read about in other reviews. I usually sew one or more garments each week and am very happy with my new Brother. It has more stitch choices than the average home seamstress will ever need or use. I also like how quietly this machine runs. My previous machine was over 13 years old so I was suprised by all the "modern technology" like the needle threader and the one-step buttonholes. The price was great too, only about 1/4 of the cost of my last machine. All in all I think this is a pretty good product.

What an AWESOME book!!!
This was the first book that I read of Francine Rivers. Oh my...what a book. Since I was only vaguely familiar with the story line... it was such a love story. Michael loved God with all his heart and soul. He depended on him completely. The way God guided Michael to Angel...the way he kept guiding him to her over and over again. Angel running off and coming back again. Michael forgave her over and over again. I loved the way God spoke out in this book. I felt sometimes he was talking to me too. This was such an uplifting story. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

Had to take it back to the store, it broke after 2 days
We purchased this doll for my 7 yr. old who simply loves Belle from the Movie. We were very much disappointed with the doll. ..., the pieces are small and easy to lose. The items that Belle asks for are difficult to place in her hand. The dresses are difficult to take off and put on. She says the same things over and over and that gets pretty annoying after awhile. We were going to keep the doll and place it on a shelf. However, after owning it 2 days, it stopped working altogether. My daughter was very careful with the doll, so we knew it was nothing we had done. We returned her to the store and got a refund. I asked my daughter if she wanted another one, and my daughter told me no, the doll is too much trouble. I agreed.

Own Two, Both Leak
I am a total soda water freak. Perrier, Pelegrino, even Canada Dry. Being able to save money, bottles and the planet sounds like a great option. Not with this device, though. The seal, between the top and the bottle lasts about one month before the leaking starts. The harder you screw down to the top to prevent the leaks, the sooner it wears out altogether. The result: You have a fridge full of water as the contents slowly dribble out through the top. Now it doesn't even get that far; the fizz escapes right away. Bought a second one, as I thought it might be a defect. Nope. So I now own a third soda siphon, a Liss 1-liter. It's much better. No leaks. Go for that one.

Six dollars for a three page review!
Three Dollars per page! I obviously (understatement) misunderstood the item description. I thought I was getting an electronic version of a $32, four pound hardcover book. I have paid $10 for a PDF version of a $50 full color hard cover book so my expectation were not out of line.Instead, I receive a THREE page, 1,821 word review, "The Harvard Dictionary of Music.(Book Review)" . Written in Scholarese. Yes, I have problems reading at times. Yes, it is a review of a standard reference book that appeared in a journal, Notes, published by the MLA. I can go on and on but I'm afraid that my head will explode. What possessed anybody to submit it for sale? Why would Amazon condone it? Who receives the proceeds?Argh!

Disaster!
From the beginning of "Cannes", I feel like I am re-reading Cocain Nights. Nothing new! What a bad plot! We have got a hero, whose adventure resembles to the events which happens to the Rare Window's main character. Believe me, you should still read, as having been read 200 hundred pages, someone saying: "Paul! Be careful! Eden-Olympia is a strange or mysterious place etc. etc."Actually Ballard takes the old idea that, in the contemporary world, our only way for escape from the business world is "sex-sport". Or maybe one must dive or fly or climb etc. etc. Now exaggerate that, here is the Eden-Olympia's lust and murder therapy!It is just dissapointing for modern novel.One of the editors describes this book as surreal. If you look for something surreal and really enjoyable, read Aragon's Anicet or Panaroma!

white rubs off on clothing and hands
I have very long dark hair (about 3 ft.) and wanted to make a white streak down it. Sprayed this on and it does make hair white. Not sure if it is a colored hair spray or what. I waited for a hour to let it set. But when I braided the section that I sprayed the white came off onto my hands. The product also made my hair feel dry, like straw and it did not shine like healthy hair. Got worried it might rub onto my clothing. It did. I wore a black shirt that night and it did get onto the shirt. Maybe this would work better with short hair that wouldn't be hanging on clothing. It does wash out easily. Getting caught in the rain may be a problem. Will not use again.

Being undead would be less boring than reading this
Wow, King can bore us over a thousand pages as he did in The Stand. Here he mercifully just bores us in a normal sized book. Hmmmmn. Chapters one thru twelve introduce everyone of no consequence in Salem. Chapter 13 kills them all off and turns them into undead. Why couldn't they be killed sooner ? I was fighting off sleep waiting for them to die. And gosh wasn't it so scary when the vampires "fell on them" ? Are these genuinely clumsy vampires or is Mr King's use of imagery not up to the task ? Watching old schlock Hammer movies is way more entertaining than reading this yawn-a-thon. Better than Anne Rice ? Do we care ?

Among The Greatest Kung Fu Movies
I'm now a grandfather. But I've been watching kung fu movies ever since 1961, as a kid growing up in San Francisco Chinatown. This movie rates as one of my all time favorite kung fu movies, and I own about 100 or so.The print isn't very good. The subtitles are hard to read. The story is among the most complicated and convoluted, especially for the non Cantonese speaking. But who watches a kung fu movie for plots?What I really enjoyed about the movie is that it actually shows what the Chinese cinema could actually do. It has tremendous battle scenes. Despite the poor print quality, the movie has some fantastic visuals.The movie is not a documentary. The movie is not an "imagined documentary." A lot of things seem to come out of left field. But it's OK. It's a MOVIE!!Quite frankly, the movie plot could easily be translated into a Star Wars episode!

The first being "Emotions."Track 1: Heartbreaker 10/10. The best song on the album.Track 2: Can't Take That Away 9/10. A sweet song.Track 3: Bliss 2/10. It's too long, plus it's a very weak song.Track 4: How Much 2/10. Sounds like something from 1996.Track 5: After Tonight 3/10. Sounds like "My All" part 2.Track 6: X-Girlfriend 2/10. It's on the wrong album.Track 7: Heartbreaker 5/10. I hate this remix. But Missy Elliott and Da Brat are funny like always.Track 8: Vulnerability 1/10.

Join me in my joy, in watching these pretentious, wannabe, followers wallow over their dissapointment.

Not As Good, But Not Bad
Approx. 5 years ago, I purchased 4-5 pair of Reef Ginger flips. Love them, still wear them all very frequently, and they're all in pretty good shape. Cute, durable materials, comfortable, with good arch support. By every metric, this new generation is of lower quality than my older ones. The sole is thinner and the arch support is not quite as, well, supportive. B/W zebra-striped straps on my new model are significantly narrower than older Reefs with webbing straps feat. rubber Reef logo patch. Sole-to-sole comparison of new v. old, both size 8, shows that new is almost 1/2" shorter than old. New sole is a little narrower heel to toe, which I think is the only improvement. A little disappointed, but I'm still a Reefs girl, now available in zebra stripes.

Goes Nowhere
This film relates to two popular concepts: the "butterfly effect" and "when it rains it pours." I feel this film is a slick attempt to manipulate these concepts. In Babel the butterflies are very big and it rains in the desert.A rifle is fired carelessly in Morocco. A Japanese girl is devastated by her mother's death. A nanny decides to take two children under her care across the border into Mexico without their parents' permission. These events all come together and have a traumatic impact on many different people. People suffer in this film.Particularly slick and exploitive is the segment about the deaf teenager. Her story is only very tenuously connected to the others. The viewer must decide why it is included.A lot of money was spent and a couple of star actors were hired. For what purpose? What do we learn? Who was entertained? The actors followed their directions and the script...to nowhere.

In Search of Mom
Daniel Quinn always surprises me with his ability to think outside the lines and create alternative realities. He wanted to write a novel that went backward in time. "Impossible" he was told. Impossible to write, impossible to sell. He wanted to write it as a screenplay. Same reaction. Finally he wrote it as an adult comic book, illustrated by Tim Eldred. Does it work? Pretty much. Satisfying? Surprisingly, yes, up to the ending. It's filled with Quinn's usual concerns about the environment and our place in the scheme of things. And there's a bonus. His preface "The Lure of the Impossible" provides raw encouragement to every writer who has tried to push the envelope.

Worst deck I own
I was very excited when I found this deck.. The few card images displayed were quite beautiful. However, when I received it and started flipping through the cards I ended up very, very disappointed. First and mostly, I cannot figure out what the muscle men are all about. Ugly and distracting, not at all fitting.. don't get it! The courts, all the same exact picture/image, only difference in any suit is the color of the outfit the person is wearing. I misunderstood and thought the people were the same through out, NOT the actual scene. How boring and unimaginative! Also, mine have the black borders which I think take away from the artwork. Over all, the worst deck I own.. don't think I will ever use it. Thought about re-selling but would be ashamed of myself. If I could give this a minus or at least a zero I would.

AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE FROM START TO FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's true. It is the work of a genius. Fingaz is definately among the all-time untouchables. This is a phenomenal cd, beats, rappin, and all. Fingaz' work is definitely at the top. He has established himself as his own unique self with great confidence. I don't think Fingaz needs help from anybody but the guests on his album are fanstastic as well. There is not one weak song on this cd. I can easily listen to it from start to finish, and still want more. Fingaz' cd is not only killer beats and incomparable rappin but it has depth, breadth, and quality messages. Fingaz really makes you think. He hits you in the head as well as the heart. Now that is the work of a genius. His cd is not just words and music, it is life. TO FINGAZ AND HIS CREW, THANK-YOU FOR AN UNSURPASSING WORK OF ART AND CREATIVITY! It is beautiful! And thank-you especially for a clean version.-------An advocate for clean/edited hip-hop.

Who led Steven off the path?
Man, what a disappointment. I was so psyched when I heard about this album, expecting a full righteous blast of rockin' Christian goodness. Imagine my dismay when I hit play on this disc and heard nothing but secular garbage! "All About Love"?Where is the love, Steven? More specifically, where is the Jesus? I fear Steven is following Amy Grant down the path of godlessness and late night talk show appearances. When I saw Amy showing cleavage on Leno a few years back, I just about lost it. I said at least three prayers for her soul that night. I never thought I'd have to pray for SCC. I truly believed his soul was true. But now we have to contend with "All About Love." "All About Selling Out To Satan" is more like it. There is just no place for godless junk like that stupid Proclaimers song on this album. Don't let some of the song titles on this one fool you--SCC has given into temptation. This is a sad day for music.

Enormous Fun!
I bought this set a month ago, directly from the manufacturer, so it must be out of retirement. The photo makes the truck appear simply enormous. I am happy to say that it is just as big as it looks in the picture!The truck is at least two and a half feet long. I wish I could be more precise, but my tape measure has done a disappearing act. There are grooves in the top of the carrier into which the cars' wheels rest. The truck can go for the long haul without worrying about its cargo sliding off. The cars are also nicely sized, about seven or eight inches long, and they're made of the same tough material.The set is not as sturdy as its predecessor, the plastic being thinner that I usually associate with Little Tykes products. That being said, it is still the front-runner in the market. My husband's concern was that the kid was going to try to sit on the thing and ride it. He was right, of course. But this truck can take it.

Uh-huh. UhUh!!
Dear, me. Imagine being able to coach a winning business plan in fewer than 20 pages. And marketing, my dears! Why, other people write book after book about marketing, and, viola, all is covered in only twenty pages. That is amazing, especially since all the evidence is that the single most important aspect of creating a successful hedge fund is the marketing side. I can't imagine why the book would deal with trading or corporate structures in the US sense. Most successful hedge funds are incorporated in other jurisdictions which often use different terminology. And, my dears, how useful is it to introduce an S-corp, a US IRS term and structure used primarily in real estate. Few hedge funds invest in real estate, and even fewer non-US jurisdictions recognize that peculiar tax creature.On top of all that, you don't even get paper, binding or book covers for your money. Talk about 50 ways to leave your lover. Well, buy it if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you.

how much will you pay for an hour of filler tracks?
Start off by napping for tracks 1-5, instrumental and boring tracks. Wake up a little for Robbie Rivera's "Bang," and finally, find a hint of euphoria in the 11 minute cut of Bobby, featuring trancey synths and mellow yet attitude-filled female vocals. Gloria Gaynor is in the mix-supposedly. Question is, where are the vocals? Moby's track is lame, Who Am I is played to death, 5 Below 0, more dulling instrumental. Some vocal returns for Shiftie, a wind down track. And the final track is a mellow-dramatic vocal track. This disc is nearly all filler. Pass on it. Track times:1. one step beyond (1:42)2. Action (4:10)3. Special (4:37)4. all exhale (7:16)5. Give it to me (7:01)6. bang (7:15)7. Bobby (11:08)8. just keep thinking about you (3:46)9. porcelain (7:21)10. who am I (3:24)11. 5 below 0 (7:08)12. shiftie (6:39)13. ready to love again (2:33)

Not a good design
We have always heard that Bunn coffeemakers were very good and are used by restaurants. We ordered our first one without any hesitation. We were disappointed with our first pot of coffee. We decided not to be hasty in judging it so we continued to make coffee in it for 5 days. Then we knew it was never going to work for us and we returned it. Here's why: We like HOT coffee. The coffee never got very hot. Next we hated the 'reservoir' that was always being re-filled and went 24/7 to keep it hot....but it never kept it hot. We also 'hated' the design of the lid that had to be slid back and forth. The warming plate never stayed warm. Actually there was not one thing we liked about this coffeemaker.

Sunday Morning Coffee
Need a break from the world? Grab your paper, a great cup of coffee (or other fave beverage) and put this disc on the player. Let Lynn's beautiful voice and Cole's stellar music soothe you and set your soul at peace. This CD is very well done and I can honestly say there isn't a bad song in the bunch. (and we all know how rare THAT is these days!)The first song to get airplay is "C'est La Vie", so look for that one. My personal faves are "Castles in the Sand" and "Forward Motion". Cole Coleman's voice is featured on "One More Day" and that one is very poignant and relevant to the world today. His voice is a wonderful compliment to Lynn's. They have a unique sound and style all their own.Roll the dice. Take a chance on this duo. You will be glad you did.

Stay away from this toy,
I was very unfortunate to be one of the people who bought this item. I bought it In late April for my sons birthday. He waited so long until the weather finally warmed up to be able to use it. It worked great the first time. So I figured awesome! A wonderful buy. Than the second time I set it up the inside seam that keeps the water and air parts from merging broke. Yep I now have a slide that is useless. There is no right side. so they will fall off and there is no way to have water hooked up to it. It was a complete disappointment. And Toys R Us will not return it and the company just does not care.

Hard/speed metal/hard core christian-the lead is a chick
Are you a Christian in search of some good, clean, hardcore? Or do you like bands like Pantera, Napalm Death, but want to listen to lyrics that don't belong in a freakin' toilet? Want something new?This album was just released this week 4/23/02. I'm more into bands like Poject 180 and Pillar but this band epitomizes speed/"death" metal. Don't expect daisies and daffodils here. Expect thrashing guitars and pure speed. The lead singer is a girl,her name is Dacey-originally from the unsigned band Inraged- but she growls out the lyrics with enough intensity to blast the devil's head off. Don't let the chick thing fool you,this is not a chick band, the lead singer growls and screams like a guy. About one or two songs reveal the lead singer's feminine voice. If you really like the speed/death metal scene(like Zao or Pantera) and want a clean positive, album, whether Christian or not get it. ...

What was that?
So I bought this mic for $10 at Wal-Mart thinking it was like my friends mic which he just plugged in and can talk through. WRONG! Not in this world will you get quality products like you do from Logitech will you get from this company. I have to hold the mic closer than my headset mic in order for my friend to understand me. So yes, this product is a Desktop Microphone that you cant actually put on your desk to talk through (unless you lean over). The sound quality is horrible too. When I actually do pick up the microphone while I'm playing a game, I'm probably understandable 1/10 times. If you want a quality mic for $10 look else where. Biggest piece of junk ever. It's a headset microphone that you put on your desk. I guess I should just tape it to my head to get the same effect.GET THIS INSTEAD

10 for 10 so far...
IMPORTANT: This review applies to Sony 50PK DVD-R, 4.7GB, 50-ct spindle, 16X. Discs are from Malaysia. Packaging is similar, but not identical, to the Amazon picture. Same yellow + black design for the label, but my spindle has no people on the label. I think it's likely a newer label than what is pictured here.BEFORE YOU BUY: In fine print on the outer label of this 50-ct spindle Sony advises, "Before use, please check compatibility at [...]." This site discusses different operating systems and different DVD burners. I would recommend you go to this site and check your setup before ordering.I ran a blank disc through 'disc identifier' software. The Media Code for these discs is 'SONY16D1.'My experience: So far I'm very happy with these discs. I've had 100% success after burning ten discs.From what I've researched: On a scale of EXCELLENT-OKAY-POOR, SONY16D1 discs from Malaysia have a reputation for being 'OKAY.' A 75-90% burn success rate is anticipated.

BEWARE!!!!
We have used this product for our dogs and bought the spray for the cats too. It stinks and the animals all ended up foaming at the mouth. They constantly vomited due to the urge to clean themselves and looked sick for days. Yes it did kill the fleas, but is it worth your animals suffering to do so? Plus the animals all ended up with raw, red skin due to a reaction. They all sat around foaming at the mouth for days. I found reviews online claiming this product sent many animals to the hospital with the same symptoms ours had. I would stay away from this product because it makes your animals sick. Plus you can't touch them for a few days after the application due to the sticky residue and it's hard to stay away from them when they want attention. Find something else to use that isn't dangerous. We have thrown brand new bottlews out and will never use it again.

30 Days of Night
I'm not a huge fan of horror but I do enjoy good Vampire movies. I went into this not expecting anything and was pleasantly surprised. Now it is a bit gory but it is done in away that is pretty much expected. The vampires were nicely done and the acting throughout is pretty good. The story line of Barrow, Alaska entering it's 30 days of night and being layed siege to by a group of vampires off a foreign freighter is pretty frightening. A small group of townspeople try to hide until the Sun returns. Using guerilla tactics they are able to get weapons, food, and find shelter. I was impressed and found the acting so good I actually became attached to a couple characters. The directing and camera were good as well. The set crew did a great job creating a believeble small town in Alaska. Overall if you enjoy horror you will probably want to give this one a try. If you enjoyed this be sure to catch "Ghost of Mars", "Vampires, and "Dawn of the Dead". Good quality DVD and replayability.

great item, as advertised.
The RS120's are exactly as advertised. Setup is easy as can be, as is charging. Just set them on the cradle. It's kind of a drag to have to fine tune the reception, but once you dial it in, the audio is clear and static-free (sitting about 10-12 ft from the unit). It fades out a bit when I get up and go to the kitchen with them on, but is still clear and keeps me in touch with what's going on.Audio quality is what it is. Do not expect high-end headphone quality. Period. Do not expect sub-woofer lows. Do expect to get everything you need from sports, news, sitcoms, etc. without anyone else in the house or even the same room hearing it. My bedroom opens up over the living room and my wife often goes to bed an hour or two earlier than I do. I can watch the whole second half of a game without bothering her a bit - as long as I keep my outbursts to a minimum.

Dont buy it
I bought this stuff from walmart on sale for like 29.98$, and ive been on it a week with nothing but heartburn and nausea. I think the gimmick is that youll feel so sick from taking them youll end up tossin cookies. and drop weight.the shakes are also pretty bad. i read reviews that these go away after a few days. but theyre not going away. I started out at 190 and im 188.Another setback is that it suppresses your appetite. TOO WELL. i didnt feel the urge to eat for like 3 days. and if i DID eat id get sick as a dog. ive stopped taking the pill and decided to be a NON lazy person and just EXERCISE. some people should try that instead of wasting money on this pill. A jumprope, a ablounger, something... JOG! but these pills will make you feel like complete and utter trash. I dont care what anyone says. They are not very good to take.

My Favorite Bra
I wrote a review on this bra here once, and it wasn't posted. I'm wondering why not? I absolutely love this bra. I have tried on so many bras in high end stores, and none of them suited me like this one does. Even though some complain it's a bit matronly, who cares? I'm not going to be showing it to the whole world anyways, just as long as it gives me good support, looks good under my shirts, blouses, etc, is all that matters to me, and this one does all of the above. I keep holding it in my wish list, and check periodically to see if they have brought it back yet. I keep hoping. Why do companies make a bra so wonderful, then zap it away from us and replace it with flimsy unsupportative bras, that are so uncomfortable? This, I will never understand. Sooooooooooo, Liyette Company, read my lips (LOL) BRING THIS ONE BACK PLEASE!

She's only the best singer in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, I would like to say that I am a very big fan of Celine Dion. She is has undoubtedly been my favorite singer ever since "The Colour of my Love". This album is magnificent! I have had this album for over two years now and I think that his album really set the pace for all her success. She shows amazing quality and power in her voice that can't be beaten by anyone else. She definitely showcases her amazing vocal acrobatics. I think that the best song in this album is "Falling into you". In this song she really gives it her all and shows that she is not just a wannabe. If you haven't gotten any of her CDs then you are missing out in the most poweful voices of all time. Go Celine!!!!

Works great! For less than a month.
Now, it's stuck on F2. I tried everything. Nothing! I tried pushing the plug (heating pad) and the cord tightly together. One of the gray prongs broke! I have had this less than a month and now it's in my closet. I have no idea what I am going to do without a heating pad. I have chronic back problems. I pretty much have to have a heating pad all the times. Or I will be in major pain. So far the cheaper ones worked better, even though they fell apart over time. I figured with this one one it would pay for itself in a couple of years or so. ( I go through the cheap ones every couple of years) So, I was willing to fork out $40 for this. I loved it while it worked. Hopefully Sunbeam will correct this problem. Would I recommend this to anyone? No. It's not worth the headache and the waste of money. I guess I will go back to the cheep ones. At least they lasted longer than this one!

Kin yew spell "noise"? I knew yew could!
The only comparable disc I own to this is Neil Young's "Arc", which Neil calls a "compilation composition". In short, the band just making a lot of racket. It was a bonus third disc to the "Weld" live set that he fortunately left out of all but the earliest pressings. And this from some of the best players in the business! Crim have let me down bigtime in the same way here. Yeah, yeah--I know Hendrix put a certain ammount of this sort of thing on "Electric Ladyland", but it fell in the midst of a lot of incomparable avant-garde blues playing. Not a whole disc of the stuff! Neil & Crazy Horse fell into that trap, though. And unfortunately, so has Fripp and Crim. Wanna know what's worse? I fell into both traps. Well, as P.T. Barnum said, there's one born every minute.

very creative, NOT!
Ugh! is all I have to say about this CD. All my friends said it was great, so I actually bought this hunk of junk! That was the biggest music mistake I've ever made, and i've made a few. I think I like about 1 song on this CD, and that's Cry Me A River, and boy, did I! When I found out I blew 15 bucks on this excuse for music!And you know what I can't get over!? How vain he is! There's like 12 pictures of this guy on a hidden poster where the lyrics are supposed to be written! This guy is unbeleivable!I wish I could give him 0 stars!I guess you can shake your but to the beat, but there's not much of a beat. Speaking of wich, I was skimming through the CD to test something, and I was right! In each individual song, they do the same beat over and over and over and over........All the only uncontinuos thing are the lyrics, and they just SUCK.Whew! I'm glad I got that off my chest!

I LOVE this movie. This movie couldn't have come out at a better time. I was right in the middle of my teen years and probably saw it everytime it ran on cable in the summer of 85. There were so many things I could relate to in this movie. I have to say however that I was VERY disappointed in the VHS release because most of the music had been changed. I understand it had to do with licensing and money but come on, the music is also what made this movie great. How do you go in and change a movie once the whole world has seen it? Its kind a rip off and makes you feel John Hughes didnt care much about preserving his movies original form and integrity. I think that was just wrong. I was really hoping the DVD version would have had all the original music now come to find it doesnt. I wont be buying this one. Why even bother to release it at all.

The Best Holiday Film Ever
A Christmas Story is the greatest Holiday film ever made. It stands well and above every other holiday themed film. It's a true American classic in every sense of the word. Young Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas. Everyone tells him that he'll shoot his eye out. Ralphie tries everything he can to get that gun. On Christmas, Ralphie gets his wish. The people that warned him about it were also right. The film has the most believeable family. How many parents were like this?. I know of many. Peter Billingsley gives a wonderful performance as Ralphie that is cemented in stone as a film classic. Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon as his parents are top notch. The film is hysterical and very tender and touching as well. I'd watch this movie all year round!. This isn't just a special holiday film. This movie is just special....period.

Sounds more like the beginning of the night...
This disc is loaded with the type of instrumental stuff you hear when the club first opens, before the crowd actually arrives. There are a couple of vocal tracks, including "Get My Love" and "Power," but for the most part, this one is more brooding and dark than you'd expect from a Circuit CD. Not exactly the kind of stuff you want to pop into the CD player at your party. The few vocals present end up being glaringly obtrusive instead of welcome. Also, there are some noticeable scratches and pops in the vinyl used for the mix at times. Not exactly a great inclusion to the Circuit Sessions series, but if you are looking for the harder edged, darker stuff, you might enjoy this one. Track times are:1. Flying Song (4:35)2. B (6:23)3. Higher (4:54)4. Violent City (5:23)5. You Won't See Me Cry (6:17)6. Twisted (4:04)7. Get my Love (9:07)8. Love Divine (10:18)9. Rise In (8:45)10. Power (5:29)11. From the bitter to the Sweet (8:06)

Celestron Skymaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars
Great binoculars! Great price. We use them for viewing the ocean. Whales, boats, etc. focuses sharp and clear. Easy to do both. Comes with tripod adapter and works as its suppose to, didn't have to buy separately. We can use these with or without our glasses. Definitely would recommend purchasing.

Worst story I have ever read
In my family, we were brought up to enjoy reading. I always love to read books, even when they are assigned. I must say though, Fatheralong had to be the worst book I have ever read. The number one problem is that it does not stick to one thing at a time. It constanly jumps around and is extremly hard to follow. I did not enjoy the content either. Widman seems angry through out the book. He talks of people being racist, but some of his comments seem to be a bit prejediced toward people. The last thing that I thought was kind of ironic. The whole book was a letter to his son that was in prison. NParri

I'm still stuck
I have purchased several guides for painting houses in the "home improvements" category. They were fine for learning about painting a house, but I'm hiring painter, so I don't really need that information. What I need is help choosing the right color. Obviously I don't want to make a mistake. I already know that I want a yellow house. But none of the colors I have tested look right. They are all too bright or dark even though they look pale on the paint chips. When I saw this book, I noticed the phrase "choosing paint colors" right in the title, so I assumed it was the answer. But, I felt every bit as stuck at the paint store as I did before reading the book. My expectation was that I wouldn't have to start going through paint chips anymore, but the information in the book wasn't specific enough to be useful to me. The book did not meet my expectations.

Tivo set up
I'm so sorry that I couldn't use this product. I'm not very good on the computer end and didn't realize that this product would not work with the new "black box" and digital tuner etc. Still don't understand it completely, but the technician that came to my house to set it all up said I couldn't use it. With this new system coming upon us I feel that when things that won't work on your old TV should state that it would be obsolete after a few weeks. I'm a senior and had no idea that this would or could happen. However, the service and cooperation of all was superb. The customer from whom I dealt with was so friendly and helpful and gracious as well as Amazon themselves. No complaints!!! Just think for us who haven't the knowledge the obsolete items should be marked. Something of that importance needs to be known. I truly have no idea on how or if this product works. It was rated very high when I bought it, but for me it didn't rate at all. Thank you !!!!

Caleb's mom
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I bought this pump since it seemed to have good reviews and the price was right. I should of spent the extra money and bought a Medula. When I first used it I loved the pump. Then after only 3 weeks the pump lost suction, I called the company they told me to boil the breast shield and it should work, it did for that day. The next day I boiled the shield and it did not make a difference I still had no suction and the motor was working fine. Of course it was a saturday and the customer service office was closed. Since I soley express and bottle feed I had to go buy another pump because they dont sell replacement shields in the store. Called the 1/800 number on Monday, they said they would ship new breast shield out immediatly, that was two weeks ago. I have called three times inquiring about the replacement shield and all they tell me is that i should receive it any day. After buying two pumps I could have bought the Medula.

Not Worth the Money
I've had these headphones just over a year and have never been happy with them. The sound is great, there's no arguing about that, but my primary complaint is that they hurt my ears. None of the earpieces were comfortable, except the foam ones, and they get dirty quickly. Forget about wearing these earphones to the gym or doing any exercise with any of the earpieces. The gray earpieces actually slipped off in my ear when I removed the earbuds once. I got it out myself, but was still concerned.My second complaint is that the volume is usually too loud. The lowest volume setting (above totally muted) on my computer and my iPod (two different models) is too loud when using these. I don't need excessive volume to hear.Next, they didn't last. The left earbud just stopped working after a little over a year. At the price, I expected these to last several years. I wouldn't buy them again, nor would I recommend them.

Bad cuing, No workout to be found here.
I wanted to love the CD, I've seen her in person, and Lisa is so motivational. That is why this CD is such a dissapointment. The cuing is bad. Th instructions are frustratimg. She says left, when it's my right. Dance instructions are given for four dances. Lisa isn't in control of the class. She seems to be always looking off to get instruction from some one. Many times the dancers in the back have started a move long before Lisa calls it. The dances are broken into individual segment. It would have been nice if they had put them together to form a workout. You don't do one move long enought to break a sweat or get a good workout. I own dozens of workout tapes. This one is at the bottom of the list

Beware the handle rubber
I've owned a similar iron a year or so. I iron rarely, only when sewing. My fella does more -- his shirts, still occasionally. I've begun using it on a quilt and noticed that the rubber on the top gray portion is peeling away. Alas, I like to keep stuff running a long time (I drive a '92 in great condition.) so am not happy to see the eminent demise of the iron. I'd be glad to send B&D a pic, but there is no 'customer service' on their web site, so B&D: you invited this posting. It has begun sounding its alarm at inappropriate times (when it's resting and off), which may mean that something's bakin' inside as well. Finally, there is no linen setting on mine. I wouldn't choose this iron. Ideas for another, anyone?

Excellent
This DVD is excellent. It is better than the first volume, and I'm still on the first disc. It has brought back so many wonderful memories. I actually bought this for my 3 year old daughter (who hasn't seen it yet).... I guess we'll be fighting over this DVD....lol. I hope that they bring back more classic Sesame Street episodes such as this. I also hope that in the volumes to come that they don't repeat the same thing. If customers want to see segments over again, they have a button on the DVD remote that can repeat it. I think it's just a waste of DVD space. Other than that, this is worth it... and then some. Keep 'em comin'.... and don't make us wait for a long time.

Waste of Money!
This book is a total waste of money. First of all, there is no sure bet on Wall Street. If this book claims you can make returns of 30% or more, why isn't everyone doing this? Why are there Billions and Billions in plain old CD and Money Market Accounts that are paying a maximum of 5-6%? The author is a psychologist and holds no degree in business, economics, or finance. She reminds me of Wade Cook who was a taxi driver who pushed his "rolling stock" trading in his books and seminars. At least this author has not shown up in late night infomercials (so far).Save your money and read it from the library. If you really want a good laugh buy it and read it as humor material. I enjoyed it as a fictional humor reading.Every "5 Star" rating left on this book are fake reviews. Check on the names of these fake reviewers and see how many other reviews they made on Amazon. Pretty pathetic to create names to leave BS positive reviews on this book.

The Empire 5 Star 500 - #77
As a culture what do we really know about ourselves? Borat is a well made, intelligent, satire mockumentary. This film was written, produced by, and stars the English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen plays a journalist named Borat who is traveling through the United States from Kazakhstan. Borat travels through the American country side and interacts with what appear to be actual Americans. The results are at times hilarious and equally disturbing considering some of the thoughts and feelings of the individuals Borat interacts with. It is always questionable which element of the film is more funny: Borat's questions or the American's responses. This film could be viewed as a sign of the times. It attempts to uncover the mainstream American culture. Arguably the best part about this feature was the controversy surrounding it upon release in the theaters. Cohen did his homework and scored a hit.

It's okay, I guess...
I'm not a really fan of Britney, but I like her music. It is okay! A friend of mine bougth this CD for me, it has an Extra Track called "Girl In THe Mirror!" That song is not very good, but it's okay. The other song I don't like is the title track, and I also don't like Dear Diary. Britney (Of Course!) wrote this song, it says so in her booklet. All of the other songs are good, but When Your Eyes Say It , doesn't make sence. I used to not like that song but now I do even tho the title doesn't make sence. The reason why I gave off 3 Stars is because of the songs Girl In The Mirror (On The European Versionz, which I have!), Title Track and Dear Diary. That is why I gave off 3 stars... other than that Britney did a great job on this album.My favorite songs are, Stronger, Lucky, and Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know*Good luck, Britney!*!...

Overall Fabulous but...
First of all, let me say that I truly loved Half-Life. It was the very first game that my husband and I bought for our first computer and it was wonderful! The graphics were truly amazing, the storyline was great, and the progression was very good also. It was well worth the 40 dollars I paid for it.However, there were a few problems. Because the game is so layered, multidimensional and realistic, I felt it was necessary to have the guide book to walk me through it. For me, the game was impossible to play with out it. The other thing I didn't like was the ending of the story. I won't spoil it for any one but I will say that I felt the creators just sort of gave up at the end. The last few levels and especially the way it ends are very abrupt. I thought it would be a lot better than it was. So--in some ways it was a let down.But--overall this is a truly great game. It was definitly worth the money and the time! I would definitly recommend it!

The man should know better.
Would you trust a doctor who confused plants with animals? Mr Goglia does this when he calls yeast a bacteria. They are not the same.Secondly, would you trust a doctor who told you to take poison. Mr Goglia does this when he advocates that you drink an ounce of water for every pound of body weight per day. I weigh 260 pounds. That means I would drink 260 ounces or 33 8-ounce glasses or over two gallons a day. Has he never heard of hyponatremia? This condition exists because you drink so much water that you deplete the sodium in your blood. Does he allow salt, the best source of sodium for most of us, in his diet? What would you guess? If you guessed "No!" you'd be correct.

A waffle maker is not a power tool
When I see the Black and Decker name, I think rugged, tough, and durable. I don't think it's something that's going to fall apart doing the thing it was designed to do.And yet, that's exactly what this waffle maker did for us.There was an upside - it made very tasty waffles. It made very tasty waffles twice, in fact! Then the hinges cracked and fell off, rendering it unusable.We weren't throwing it around, mind you. Not playing catch with it or even trying to see who could smash more batter into it. Just trying to make plain old waffles, as we've done with other waffle makers dozens of times before, and since.And yet, it broke. Not just a little broke, either. So broke that we couldn't use it anymore. So broke that even MacGyver couldn't have used it.So, yes, it makes waffles. It makes very good waffles. Twice. Then it's done, and for the landfill. Our replacement waffle maker will be a different model.Black and Decker should stick to making power tools.

Save Your Money
First off I would like to say that this album I did not buy and I am glad that I didn't.I have heard it enough to say what I want to warn people about. The Song structures are very weak. Lyrics are really lame, and the worst part is that there are no solos. When they made "I Disappear" I thought they were heading in a desent musical path. ... This album is so bad I would not even download it. to say that I actually enjoyed both versions Metallica has transformed into. This is definitly Metallica at their worst and I don't expect it to get any better. I am trying to save you from despair, but you probably will buy it anyways. Because, "Hey! Its Metallica."

Artistic Excuse For Porn
This one is proof that anything will sell. The artist approaches a couple of women and says he would like them to pose for some naught pictures. They agree without hesitation. We see them pose and the artist start his painting. In the middle of the sequence the "painting" action is replaced by a fantasy segment where the models have sex with each other. In the way we see several paintings done. One of the extras has the artist do commentary on the walkthrough of a painting's creation.As far as learning how an artist works, what inspires him, his techniques, or his history, you won't find it here. Although advertised as a serious artist retrospective it looks more like a stab at a quick buck. If you are looking for artistic information you should look elsewhere. If you are looking for erotica or porn, you will also be disappointed. Don't check it out.

Face shield
I read some reviews that were negative concerning this shield distorting in the wind at higher speeds. I figured that I'm going to be riding a bike that generally only travels 35 mph, so what did I care? I like the shield just fine. It does what it is supposed to do. I do find that when I bring the shield fully down it snaps in place, now this snap isn't too secure, sometimes it comes up when I didn't intend for it to, but it only comes up a little, it is not a problem if one is just aware of it. I would recommend it.An update after about a year. I'm still happy with my purchase, though I have found that the plastic for the visor is rather brittle. I accidentally allowed my helmet to fall and the plastic (shaded part) visor split. I've tried epoxy and then nylon filament package tape to mend it. None of these are permanent repairs, I'll need to buy another. I have had no other problems with it. I do polish the face shield from time to time.

B70 is not Platinum.....
I loved it for the 16 months it worked. One day it tured itself off and nothing. It died. No water pumping, no lights nothing. I called K. After two weeks we were able to talk. They did offer me the same one for 139. I believe. I said no thanks, I was replacing it with a B&D that brews into a travel mug for 20.00. This maker was used by only me in my shop. I made one-three cups a day M-F. It was set to auto shut off at 4pm and turn on again at 7am. A very expensive paperweight.

Not happy with this version of Batman
After reading The Dark Knight and The Killing Joke, I had high expectations for Arkham Asylum. I was very disappointed however. Like in other Batman books and comics, Batman displays cunningness, being fearless, being athletic, and just being a bad ass hero. He did not display anything in this book. The villains did not display their specialties or twisted selves as they do in other books or comics. The drawings were interesting, not great, just interesting. The story was too short and meaningless. Perhaps I did not understand or interpret the story the way the writers, Morrison and McKean wanted to portray Batman. Still, the story was too short to overanalyze. This book is going as far as I can throw it! Or to someone who wants to experience this bland version of a Batman story.

I bought my Zire 71 back in march and the thing is junk. It's a good palm if you only have it in the sync cradle on your desk. They have no belt clips and with in the first 2 weeks the palm froze and I lost all info. It still does this periodically and the screen does not respond just the buttons. After a few weeks of jumping from program to program and freezing it will work well for another month and then do the same. I will not buy another palm. PalmOne service is not good and takes forever to send and receive for repairs. I plan to only have this expensive ball and chain for a year. All the accessories are expensive but made cheap. I paid 25 bucks for a leather belt case from Palm for the Zire and the rivets holding the loop ripped within a month. As I speak the digitizer is jumping all over the screen and I can't even hit the dot with the stylus to tap the target! I got ripped off!!

Not one of Judith Mcnaught's best.
I was looking forward to this book, until I read it. Judith McNaught is one of my favorite writers, but I was very disappointed in her most recent effort. This book seemed to be more like a debut novel instead of one from a well written author. The story line and plot were good, but the developement of characters was slow and never really brought forth. It was no where in the line with Paradise, my favorite contempory novel by her, or Whitney My Love, McNaught's best historical novel. I only hope McNaught doesn't try to go the same route as Sandra Brown and try to write mystery. Brown bombed at it. I hope McNaught has better judgement, and realizes what a great romance novelist she is. They should both stick to what they know. I almost didn't finish this book, which is something I've never done. Anything I start, I always finish. I still wait with high anticipation for McNaught's next novel.

Different but...
As a native Marylander, and now a Baltimore City homeowner, I felt this doorknocker was a staple. The look of it along with the price were enough to make the purchase despite some varying reviews. I received it today and was surprised. Other reviewers had mentioned the color difference from that which is advertised in the photo... They were exactly right. The crab in the photo appears to be a shiny red copper. This is not the case. The shell is actually a weathered bronze color, while the legs are blue. This is where the product lost a star -- not because it doesn't look awesome, but due to the false advertising. Otherwise, the construction is sturdy and it's a nice heavy metal.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. But be warned if you are looking for a red crab!

Works great for my workouts.
A nice MP3 player for the price. Sure, the design is a little long in the tooth now, but it still gets the job done. I use mine for listening to music for workouts -- works great. It seems to be durable too. I've bounced it off the floor several times without apparent harm. The software works okay for me under 98SE, though I don't change the music selection that often. Added a cheap smartmedia upgrade no problem. The display is clear and the menus make sense. I don't use the headphones that came with it, so I can't really comment on those. Volume is fine with the Radio Shack earbuds I use. I use rechargeable batteries, so I don't worry much about the battery life. It actually seems pretty reasonable anyway. If you can get this player for the right price and don't need a huge song capacity, you could do a lot worse.

Not for children or adults young at heart. For cynics.
I was disappointed in the movie. The hype, and trailers made it into a fantasy, comparable with Lord of the Rings. It does not remotely come close. The movie, is how the big bad captain, maltreats everyone in his family. He is also a terrible sadist, fighting the republican partisans still in the hills. This all happens years after the Civil war ended in Spain. The Captain is a caricature of a cold, brutal, sadist. Clearly, you see the bias of the film, if you pay attention. The big problem is that the depiction is one sided. The Republicans had terrible atrocities on their side as well. This is a war movie, war movie with a fantasy side story. This flick was bloody, humourless, biased and a real bummer with small sprinklings of fantasy. The acting was good, script was bad, and the plot was a failure. This movie is not for kids, or adults who are kids at heart.

CAUTION!!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS TOY!!!
I cannot believe this toy is still being sold. It is 100% unsafe. I'm contacting the manufacturer today. My 8 month old daughter was able to peel off and ingest one of the stickers within the 30 seconds she was alone. She was gagging & threw up. Since she's been sick we thought it was her normal puke. But she didn't seem able to to catch her breath. SO I checked her airway and sure enough there was something in there. I was able to get it out- PRAISE GOD! It was one of the stickers off of this toy. She can't even get baby mum-mums in her mouth every time but she got this. Very unsafe. Pleas be careful if you already own this and do not buy it if you don't!!!!!

Not what I expected
It's a big stretch to call this music. A more descriptive title would be Ambient Sounds. It's more like variable white noise, or a low, almost inaudible base monotone with hissing. It may work if you want background sounds all night, but I prefer to listen, relax, and then turn it off when I'm sleepy.I bought Peaceful Music for Sleep for our daughter's naps. It's also by Jeffrey Thompson, and it is music-like a gentle flute and piano duet. It certainly seems to help our daughter sleep, and puts me in a restful and peaceful mood too.I expected Ambient Music to be similar, so I was very disappointed. I can't listen to this CD long enough to find out if it works. I suggest you listen to the sample if you can. (I didn't.) On my computer it sounds like very quiet, almost inaudible hissing. That's what this CD is like. Obviously it works for some, but if you want relaxing music, try Peaceful Music for Sleep instead.

Works like a charm
I have suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder all my life. My first lamp was one I bought from a competitor 10 years ago. I have got to say this Verilux lamp is amazing compared to the old one. The light is a soft whitish-blue, not harsh at all. When it turns on there is little "warm up" time. The cost is especially worth it...as my first lamp was $250. If you just need a boost during the day try the Mini version. I have one on my desk at work...and it really helps me stay focused.If you suffer from SAD a light literally changes your world. Every fall I start using a lamp to wake up starting in September. Within 3 days I notice a significant difference in my attitude. Not only that, I have noticed that my thinking is more clear, and especially sharp throughout the day.

nice try, francesca
I have read close to all of this authors books but this one left me disappointed. Block's lyrical writing fell short this time. I felt like I had read it all before. Enough about the jacaranda trees, Francesca, we get the point. Purple trees in LA. Maybe I didn't like this book b/c the writing style was just an attempt at recreating her other books. A lousy attempt. Or maybe it's b/c I live in LA and I know what it's like already. But it all just seemed to cliche to me. The stage mom and the uninterested girl. It's been done. I really didn't feel that the characters developed at all. They were presented and weren't displayed in any more depth for the rest of the book. Oh well, there's always Weetzie. (However, if you've never read any of her books before read this one. You'll enjoy it b/c you won't have such high expectations. And then read the rest b/c it will just get better and better.)

over rated!!!!!
we couldn't wait to see this movie! we waIted for 8 tears for it to come out. WHEN IT FINALLY DID WE PUT ALL OUR MONEY (AND OTHER PEOPLES) INTO IT. WE HAD A BIG PREMERE ETC. WE PUT ALL OUR MONEY INTO IT, THINKING THAT IT WOULD BRING TOURISM TO MADISON. THEN IT CAME OUT AND LAYED THERE LIKE A DEAD FISH IN THE POLUTED OHIO RIVER. NOW WE ARE BROKE. THIS MOVIE HAS VERY LITTLE TRUTH TO IT. IT RIDES ON THE HEELS OF A LITTLE GO NOWHERE TOWN THAT IS STILL NOWHERE! THE STORY LINE IS AS POOR AS THE WRITING. THE TOWNS PEOPLE LOOK LIKE STUPID HICKS. BUT YOU SHOULD COME AND SEE IT, AND THEN VISIT MADISON, SO L LYTLE CAN RECOUPE OUR MONEY. BOTTOM LINE, BORRING PLOT, BAD ACTING, SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH IT IS FUNNY. DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY.

An Excellent Choice
This book is by far the best!!!The author explains all the important details of WML and WMLScripting. This book is easy to read. Great for the experienced developer. A great reference. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants learn WML andWMLScripting. Knowledge of JavaScript will help the reader termondously. Knowledge of HTML and XML will also help. The authors assume the reader has knowledge of HTML, XML, and JavaScript. A great investment!!!

Delightful holiday theme!
I love happy endings! The Blacksmith's Gift brings out the very heartfelt meaning of the Christmas season.The "wee ones" are the heroes! Papa and Mama deliver a message that everyone will remember for years to come. Mr. Davis brought alive the characters in this book. I just wanted to leap in and join the fun!!An added bonus is the magnificant artwork created by Matt Armstrong. Since it's mainly set in the wintertime, the snow scenes are my favorite! I felt the "child in me" wanting to jump right in and catch the snow flakes on my tongue!!I've already purchased several for Christmas gifts, but could not wait until then. So, I've already given some out!!Thank you, Mr. Davis. for this wonderful, wonderful tale. I cannot wait for the continuation of the trology!!

One of the worst games I've ever played!
I really hated this game. I gave it two stars because the graphics are nice so that was the ONLY thing that kept me playing (and the fact that I hate to give up). But the game play was horrible. I hated that you could look at things that had no relation to the story or to help with puzzles. Why on earth would I want to look in an empty cubby or pick up a tea pot that was not used elsewhere?? The story is okay, but the music and the "over here", "this way" voices are annoying because they don't actually mean anything. Not to mention there is no closed caption and you can't figure out what people are saying in the few areas they do talk to you. The only interaction with other characters is contrived and boring. There was a lot of reading of materials that didn't really help move the story forward and could have been better done. The navigation was hopelessly annoying and very easy to get lost.Don't waste your money on this one. Play Syberia instead.

Good Indian Adventure
This is the first book I have read by Charles G. West. I enjoyed it very much. This is the first book in the three about Little Wolf. He was born a white boy by the name of Robert Allred. He was sold to a mule skinner. He later ran away after the mule skinner was killed by Indians. He himself was taken in by and adopted by two Arapahos. They raised him in the Indian ways and in his mind he was an Indian. He became a great warrior and was with Sitting Bull at Little Big Horn. He was a friend to Squint Peterson, a mountain man, trapper and scout. In fact Squint saved his life. This is Little Wolf's story, of his boyhood, as a young man and his fighting. I think it shows much of the bad, bad, ways Indians were treated. It is a good read and would recommend it for anyone interested in the American West.

HILARIOUS!!!!
I saw this movie and it was the best foreign movie I've ever seen! It's in Chinese with eng. subbies and It was hilarious!!! It stars Stephen Chow (who was in Shaolin Soccer) and it has a great cast!!!!! It has choppy (but amusing) s/fx, and the humor and action is the TOPS. But Storyline?? I really can't review that cuz I really didn't find it that amusing. But this was a great show.P.S. As cses44 said, Why is it rated R? I don't get that. But overall, It was a great movie.

Don't Waist Your Time
Don't do it. If you are running 98,2k or even ME keep them on your pc. XP has been touted as the 'new wonder from MS'. Not so. If you know nothing about computers you won't even know what you are missing. But for those of you who do know your pc stay away. I would think that in a few years they might actually have it fully debugged, might...I was in the marked for a new lap top and ended up buying a Mac. There were many factors but the main factor was the operating system. After spending much time working in XP I just couldn't stand it any more. I use win2k at work and it's great, stable, fast, a good extension to 98, one of the best OS out there. When I heard Mac released a unix based OS, I jumped for joy and bought the Mac. You can't beat the stability, ability and control. It's time for the MS marketing department to lay off of trying to control the entire pc world and let the user have a choice in what the user wants to run on their pc and not what will make MS money.

Bethlehem Road
I read this book and my opinion of it is the following:yes,Sir Garnet Royce had no business locking his wife in her room, that's false imprisonment and against the law. Now,Naomi has every right to believe what religion she wants. She's an adult. She did try to talk to her husband. He did try to talk to her. Now,here's the problem. Both dealt with the problem in very immature ways. She CHOSE to starve herself to get her way and force her husband to change. He CHOSE to lock her in her room to get his way. They are both stubborn and set in their ways. They chose not to compromise. Very childish. Naomi should have known when she married Garnet that he was older and a rigid,fixed person and bringing about radical change to him would be something he didn't want. What happened to her was a tragedy. The maid,Elsie had no business killing innocent MPs.

MY POOR EYES!
I walked into my local video store to browse, and they just happened to be playing the dubbed "R" movie. After watching it for about 10 minutes, I had to leave the store in disgust. The dubbed version of Sailor Moon was AWFUL! Dic removed most of the superb Japanese music, leaving awkward dead air in some spots. The rewritten dialogue was even worse. They just added in stupid one-liners that would appeal more to 5-year-olds. When Rini said "Do your thing, Moon Mama!" that was about when I left the store, grimacing. If you can get the original Japanese uncut version, you MUST see it! The music is beautiful and, most importantly, it's UNCUT! It's 100 times better that anything Dic could ever dub.

What a joke...
We bought the habitat in March, ordered 2 tadpoles in April, waited months for them to arrive. One died within a few days and they sent us a new one. Waited, waited, waited, waited. Followed directions EXACTLY. About 3 months later, the other original one died. Another 2 months, the replacement died. Now we are 6 months out, never having seen a frog. Uncle Milton has taken their phone number off their website. I sent an e-mail to them and received an automatic reply saying someone would contact me within 2-3 days. A week later I sent it again. A month later I sent another e-mail, now the autoresponse says 5-7 day. I'm still waiting and my child very disappointed. Do NOT buy this product. Waste of money and lots of time.

Great Phone But.....
I bought a Nokia 6126 in December of 2006. It was a great phone but it has one major flaw. The internal LCD is very fragile. It does not have any kind of hard surface on it. It's like touching a LCD computer monitor. I had the phone in my pocket with some loose change. A coin worked its way between the interior screen and the keypad. In the course of about an hour it ruined the screen and the phone will not work. I sent it to be repaired and they wouldn't cover it under the warranty and wanted $160.00 to repair it. I told them to forget it. I ate the cost of the phone and purchased a Sony Ericsson W810i.

video quality okay, packaging great
I saw this video waaaay back in the day when it first came out. Don't quote me, but I believe it came out on H.B.O. sometime in the eighties. Funny, I don't remember it being that corny. But it was fun to see it again. Don't get me wrong, corny is good sometimes...Oh! And would you like to see Johnny Knoxville on his first acting gigg? He's the guy outside Hell's Dinner cooking eggs on the sidewalk! Wow, he must have been an extra at the time, way before the Dumb Ass movies! But let me say something about the company that sent the video; the tape and packaging looked like new...Audio was a little down by today's standards. But, in all, I had a ball watching this oldie!

Honest and reliable retailer
Previously purchased Sopranos complete set from another third party retailer and found that the quality of the discs were very poor and some would not read at all. After communicating with the retailer concerning the defective product THAT retailer decided to ignore me after promising a refund. Had to contact Amazon for help. Amazon came through and got my money back. Thank you Amazon! Recently purchased Sopranos complete series from RDEAN2009. Quality was great however I discovered that one of the discs was missing. Contacted seller and he responded immediately saying he had never heard of this happening before but that he would open another set and send me the missing disc. Received disc in 5 days. Nice to do business with an honest retailer. Thanks RDEAN2009....

saved my LIFE
haha not really but this album is UH MAZE ING. so dreamy. makes me want to float away on a lilly pad or in the clouds. it's such a dreamy cd. and i love how its different then all the other std albums. i had to come to amazon to buy it because i couldnt find it in stores anywhere. when it first came out i bought it but someone stole my cds about 3 years ago and i hadn't rebought it until last week and i've been playin it nonstop since. if youre a dreamy person and love wild lyrics. you'll love this cd. if you're only into the other side of std you won't. so just have an open mind and let this cd IN IT. <3

Excellent phone
ok this is not really a phone, rather more of a three devices in one. I have this for over six months now and can't live without it. Especially if I am on the road and do not have internet connection. I can check email, calendar etc...It will be great to have bluetooth working. Supposedly that is in the making. Also since a newer treo (650 ?) is coming in few months, this older model will probably be sold much cheaper than now. So you may want to hang tight for a couple of more months.The reason, I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have had some hardware problem and recently my original unit stopped working as a phone. But sprint was very prompt and sent me another unit. So not much to complain there. :-)**Update: Treo 650 is out now. It seems to have lots of things that I desired in 600. So hold on to your monery for that ***
