Elijah Wood, Macaulay Culkin THE GOOD SON is Superb!
|
The first time I came across this was in a junior novelization by Todd Strasser, and I must admit its better than the movie. But the movie is a delight. Macaulay Culkin is Henry, the young child who has everyone fooled into thinking he is a great kid. But he is really a youngster who loves to watch death. Elijah Wood(the kid in this movie who knows how to act) comes off much better as Mark, Henry's cousin and the only kid who knows Henry's true personality. The music is wonderful. Elmer Bernstein is a genius. And what can I say, even my mom liked the photography! I first saw the "TELEVISED" version on TV, following the real movie. Not a thing was changed! The reason for its R rating is Theme. Period. The violence is off screen, and besides Henry's one use of the "F-word" and some other expletives, there is nothing really here. WITH A PARENT, watch this movie kids, and adults, even though it stars young children, you'll like it too!

You have got to be kidding me
|
The writer took a great idea and destroyed it. In a story that is so unbelievable its funny. Her weather and crime scene knowledge and research is non existant. This book is so far out there its not believable at all. She writes in characters into this book that leave you wondering just what their purpose is. This is 1st grade story telling at best. Nothing is tied together and the way this book jumps around its impossible to form a picture in your head. I could barely finish this book it was so horrible. What she did to this book is criminal and whomever at Warner books approved the publishing of this book should be fired. To say a book like this is great is a slap in the face to all the great authors out there like Patricia Cornwell, Iris Johansen, Kay Hooper, Dean Koonz etc. Don't lower your standards.Pass this one up, its not worth the paper its written on.

good headphones for the price
|
I bought these headphones because of the reviews - good quality, good sound isolation, decent price. And I would agree with pretty much everything. The sound quality is excellent, until you compare it to some $200+ Audio Technicas (ATH-A900), which my friend has. You can tell the difference immediately, the A900's having a much more rich, clear sound. They are also much more comfortable. The ATH-PRO700's do compress the ear a bit, i am slightly sore after a few hours. The quality is excellent, very strong and robust, as expected from Audio Technica. These fold up very compact, the folding mechanisms feel high-quality. The jack has a thread-off adapter to go from standard large size to an mp3 player friendly 3.5mm jack. Overall, sound quality, for the money, is very good. I am very happy with these, and will eventually upgrade to higher-end Audio Technicas once I can afford some.

DEFECTIVE PRODUCT
|
I love the movie *so far*, but DUE TO DISC DEFECTS, HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WATCH THE LAST 20 MINUTES OF THE MOVIE. MANGA YOU HAVE TOTALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE. I have two stand-alone players that BOTH completely freeze at the layer change. I have returned the DVD 5 times. Every single disc does the exact same thing on both players (Sony DVP-S530D & Apex 1100W).Unacceptable. I'd have better luck with VCDs off Ebay. Unacceptable. Completely unacceptable. Unbelievable. This is probably the only important anime release that will ever pass through Manga, and thank goodness; they seriously f**ked up. I can't believe this foolish, utterly careless treatment the End of Evangelion. Blasphemy. All buyers beware.

2 stars only because this is Twin Peaks
|
I can tell you right now that if this set included all 29 (?) episodes along with the pilot, I would give it a 6. But what are they trying to pull here? Do your research, get the rights, and make this a set worth owning - for under $300. It would have sold like mad. All this does is twart other TP productions by showing bad profit to other companies who may have been interested in producing something TP or Lynch related. If you buy this, you are a fool. My advice: buy the VHS set, wait a year or two til you've got yourself a DVD burner, and convert them yourself. Concidering how long it took them to put out this subpar set, you have nothing to lose. You'll have the set on DVD sooner than 2020 and, burner included, it will cost you less. It may even be better quality and on fewer discs. I don't know what I was expecting here. Wait, yes, I do. I was expecting this. I was hoping for a lot more.

The howling reborn
|
Not an epic failure, but boring. I expected a 2011 movie to be worthy of watching, this movie was not worthy of my time. It had good special effects compare to B movies. However there were times when you could see how cheap it was. In example when school was burning, the fire looked so bad. The werewolf costume looked so cheap actually, especially the legs. When 2 werewolves collapsed, you could well see that there is no life captured in those costumes. There was either one of actors present or none at all. Not until the next scene. I don't think there is really any point in writing more about the movie itself, it was so boring to watch. Not an epic failure, but it's bad. I would NOT consider it to be another Howling movie. Yes, howling is notorious for a few good and most bad movies mixed together in one huge sequel/collection. But why this movie? It's out of place. There is nothing about rebirth and nothing about howling at all. Could give it another name.

TERRIBLE quailty control of arm angles
|
This support arms for this thing suck. Plain and simple. The arms that attach to the pole then the blade are not bent properly at the ends thus they don't lay flat against the pole to ensure a good fit. I've posted three pics detailing what I mean. If I had a vice, I could probably bend them properly to get them on the correct angle, but I don't.And I reversed ends as well as tried both sides to ensure there wasn't a left/right arm or that I had them backwards. I didn't. This is how it is.The only reason I didn't return it was because I really need this thing right now in Colorado. And the positive reviews of it is the only reason I spent the money.TERRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL for a US made product. If it was $20 in the clearance bin at WalMart, I'd forgive it. But for almost $60 delivered? Inexcusable.

Love It!!!
|
This carrier is great. I have been using for about a month now and my baby loves it. He is 3 months old and about 16 pounds. I have bought 3 carriers prior to this one and my baby did not like them. I bought this because we were going on vacation and I wanted to try one last carrier. He loves it!!! I was shocked considering I tried a Bjorn and he didnt like that one. I use it all the time, at the grocery store, the mall, where ever. It may not be as stylish but it is a great carrier, very easy to use. I definately recommend it!!

review
|
Of course the kids loved it, but so did the adults. I took one of my good friends on a date to see this movie. Both being almost 18 years old, I felt like I'd fall asleep during a Disney movie. But I didn't. I loved it. I started laughing from the very beginning. The Emporer, played by David Spade, is just great. Spade uses that sarcasim that is well-known from his SNL days, and Tommy Boy. Even the dim-witted body guard was great. He had me laughing all the time. Getting beyond the sentimental value of that night, this is a really good movie, and that is why I gave it the 5 star.

Gorgeous Book!
|
This book is stunning! The photography is breathtaking. The first class photos are huge, many double fold out. The essays are thorough - written by specialists of Pompeii in a gracious, informative style!The photographs primarily cover art: the amazing wall paintings, furniture, architecture, gardens, rooms, and possessions of wealthy Pompeiians. The photographic perspectives are superb! Not included are the tragic plaster figures of victims and a map of Pompeii. Nor is Herculaenium depicted.Nothing has been spared to make this THE BOOK of Pompeiian art. It is a "coffee table" book... heavy and large. The pages are the highest grade quality, very thick and glossy. It looks, feels, and reads like it should cost well over $100 and probably does at fancy book stores. It's the nicest book I have ever owned.

Highly musical performances, brass not prominent enough
|
If you are looking for a very inexpensive CD of these two symphonies, this recording will fill the bill. The performances are highly musical with some really gorgeous phrasing. The "Spring" symphony is one of the finest performances I have heard of that delightful work. The "Rhenish" is also very good. Unfortunately, the Rhenish requires an orchestra with an exceptional brass section. That is not the case here. The orchestra is certainly adequate but the highly important brass parts, especially the horns, are not nearly as prominent as needed. This problem is not that unusual. Quite often the strings will simply cover up the brass. If you like your brass prominent like I do, chamber orchestras are better since they use much smaller string sections. If you are not concerned about the brass, this recording is very fine, especially at the three dollar price.

My cat decided the world's worst
|
I picked this up when it was on sale at Target. Bag did not look like the yellow bag now depicted here. They were selling black, with green or red.I mixed this in with my cat's usual scented, powdery ever-available litter. He used it fine at first. Tried to move over to just this litter gradually. Then he began to have more and more accidents outside the box. Then the more I cleaned his box, the more accidents he had.I do not always clean out his box daily - but that was NEVER a problem up until I bought this litter. It smells if not cleaned daily. And the cat started to go elsewhere. Then even when cleaned, he avoided it much of the time. I began to lurk around the box to see if he would use it, and it was upsetting to see it had hardly been touched.Have just replaced it with his old, which is irritating to my sinuses, but much more irritating to have to detect obnoxious cat accidents throughout the house. Be careful!

A REAL AMERICAN HEROOOO...!
|
I'm wearing my "LET'S ROLL!" t-shirt now (only ____ dollars) and I've got my "LET'S ROLL!" hat (only ____ dollars) and my copy of "LET'S ROLL!" Who cares if we know NOTHING about what Todd Beamer did on that plane? He could have made a run for the head while other people wrestled with the terrorists! It doesn't really matter, does it? The proceeds from this book (and Lisa's public appearances and media interviews, etc.) will all go to help her children go to college, right?BONUS: It's been revealed recently that it was the terrorists who CHOSE to crash the plane into that field because the passengers were pestering them. Nobody actually overpowered the terrorists or took control of the airplane. Not even for a moment. Todd could have been cowering in a corner for all we know. So much for this book.

A great MMORPG
|
The starter kit is very fun. You can create your own StarWars Character and live your own StarWars life. I don't understand why a lot of People gave this Game a bad review. The combat is okay, but good enough. The Graphice are also ok, and the Gameplay is Excellent. Getting lots of Credits and exp. takes a long time, but it is Worth it. You can choose your side in the Galactic Civil War. Be Rebels, Imperials, Smugglers, Bandits, and Black Sun Pirates. You can own your own starfighter, and the First one you get is free! You can work for Jabba The Hutt, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader himself! Join the Imperial Navy Or the Rebel Space Fleet. Fight in massive space battles, including Mon Cal Cruisers, Star Destroyers, and much, much more. You should Definitely Check this game out.

Wrong item. Terrible attention to detail.
|
I ordered a box of plain milk chocolate. The large amount of chocolate was part of an elaborate gift. I was sent a box of milk chocolate WITH ALMONDS. I whole heatedly LOATHE almonds. The gift did not call for almonds and was ruined. Absolute waste of 36 bars of chocolate. I would be less offended if this was the first time I heard of this problem. After reading other reviews, I see this is a recurring problem. Sending me almonds was relative to a slap in the face, just as this was to the other purchaser. Do not order this chocolate. The warehouse staff working for this seller clearly does not care what you want.

Laughters Can't Be Bought
|
Well... in this case, laughters "can" be bought.... in the form of Elmo. I bought one each for each of my family and relatives in different states. It was for the kids for Chinese New Year. The gift was a hit and the kids were so amuse by having a toy that's sophisticated enough to laugh when tickled at different places and able to roll around and stand up by itself. My little nephew loves the flap on the box that say's "Elmo is tickling in here!". He ran around with it all night. Most toys, he abuse and roughed up, but this one is special. He puts Elmo back in its box and carry the box around the house. We all laughed along with him when he first saw the gift. My nieces and nephews from other states also adore their Elmo. $[...] (after tax) is an inexpensive price for genuine laughters, I think. I think every kids should have access to a toy like this. Can't wait to see what Fisher-Price comes up with for next year. Goodluck shopping....

Outnumbered!

I recently pulled out my 1979 LP and had a listen to this album. First time in probably almost 30 years. I was in absolute stitches! My two sons came down to have a listen and both sort of said "alrighty now Dad!" Knowing my tastes in music they were puzzled as to why I even had this LP.What a dated contrived piece of sonic crap that has not aged well one bit! To be fair, I do like Annie Haslam's contribution...Ooo ahh ooo ahh, COME ON NOW!!! Time to rise, time to wake up?... All conditions blue, it's up to you? Most of the lyrics are downright painful! laze guitars? Garbage...in MY lp collection from thirty years ago...what was I thinking? Hell if I know!

Not worth it!!
|
I normally don't write reviews, but after receiving these tables I had to chime in. I bought two of these tables because I could not find anything in my local area that would work as night stands in this color. I was very eager to put these together when they arrived so I got started! Table one took me an hour to put together! I have put together many pieces of furniture in my day so I like to think I know what I'm doing. The holes on these do not line up!! At all! I had to find another way to put the table together and finally got it to work. So I thought table two would surely take less time...I was wrong! The layout of the holes for each piece was even worse. The price is good and once put together they look nice, but to me it wasn't worth it! I would have returned them but after 2 hours, sweat and lots of cursing, I wasn't about to take them apart to ship back! Don't waste your money!

For Keith Moon fans only
|
As a great fan of the WHO, especially Keith Moon , I had to buy this CD. As most of us know, Moon was neither a songwriter nor a very good singer. During a break in recording a new WHO album and touring, Keith went to the studio to record this album with his "chums". I don't think that Moon felt this would be an album of any merit. Just having a good time and jamming with friends was the real intention. The recording is average at best and most of the songs are not memorable. The most disappointing fact was that Moon DID NOT perform most of the drumming on the album. I don't think most fans would buy this CD just to hear him sing! Keith's drum solo on "The Kids are Alright" is probably the highlight of the album! Neither the songs nor the singing will attract you to this CD. It is purely for Keith Moon fans who will buy anything with some Keith Moon drumming while waiting for a new live WHO release!

It's Good!
|
A very catchy album. Several hints of hints of doo-wop with that insatiable Fly-Rite swing. A little surf rock. A little pizzacato by Ashley. Jimmy Roy on steel. Bobby, keeping the beat. Slappin' bass. Sandy crooning. Man, what a good thing!"Catalina" and "Money Tree" (sung by Jeff, the upright player)stay with you long after the playing is done. Hey, all the songs are good'ns, though.See them on their current tour and you'll appreciate the band even more.

There must be better options
|
I bought this as a substitute to bottled water, however I wasn't that thrilled with it. Since it is just me and my husband the filter timer is useless to us. It counts down weeks, not gallons used. Since it is just two of us we don't use nearly as much water as a family of four would, so our filters should last longer. Also, the taste wasn't all that great. I'll be the first to admit that our tap water is pretty bad, but the filters didn't seem to improve it as much as I had hoped. We also had a hard time pouring water without the whole top lid falling off. The design isn't all that great. Overall I wasn't that impressed with this pitcher. I got rid of it and have decided to try the Pur water dispenser instead. So far I like that much better.

Another great book from a great author
|
I have to first say that I love Patricia Scanlan. I have been a fan since I first read City Girls a few years ago and I have read everything she has published since then. I love her work and her stories always hook me in immediately. This book was no different.From reading the book jacket, you would think that this is your average, run of the mill, divorce story. Bitterness, fights, heatrbeak and trauma. But its much more than that. I think this story was oddly uplifting. A dependent woman learns to stand on her own two feet. She suffers a terrible tragedy but learns that she make something of herself. This is her chance to become the type of woman she always admired. There is lots of drama and heartbreak along the way, making this an inticing read. I definitly recommend it anyone, not just fans of Maeve Binchy. I think that Patricia Scanlan is in a category all her own!

Wish I could give it NO stars
|
I like my books with...well...a feasible plot to begin with. And that just for starters. I like books where there is a character that is not only realistic but likable. I like books that have a plot, and books that seem like an editor actually read it. But, most of all, I like books that aren't...HORRIBLE. This is probably the worst book I've ever read. It's insultingly mindless, boring, packed with foreshadowing that is so obvious you'll be rolling your eyes more than reading the book. Save your money...unless you are a huge fan of the B-movie genre of course. For the rest of you, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT believe the other ratings as I did and waste your money. There are so many great books out there, and this is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT of them. It's TERRIBLE!

Dewalt Dissapointments
|
I had purchased a small contractor DeWalt 745 saw. It was a great little saw. But I wanted the larger 744x unit. I need a bigger fence area. Got the first 744 and it had a problem with the rack and pinion fence. It was so tight It wouldn' move. Tried adjusting it via the owners manual to no avail. Amazon shipped another unit and to my dismay it also had a rack and pinion AND fence problem. The fence would hang on the right miter slot. And the pinion gears jumped off the track when trying to adjust the fence. I'm very dissappointed in the factory setup on these saws. Poor quality control. I believe once I get beyond these poor factory quality issues I might have a good saw. But frankly, I would think twice before purchasing a DeWalt saw agaain . . .

Not great for eating.
|
It's over-sized handle is o.k., This feature may be better for a child or someone with hand problems. I just found it unnecessary. My biggest complaint is the small serrations. While it does cut through grapefruit, it has a tendency to catch pulp in the teeth. It doesn't seam to affect its performance but it is annoying. The spoon is shallow and narrow making it difficult to get the juice. It is also overpriced in my opinion. I will continue to use it when my others are in the dishwasher but it won't be my go to grapefruit spoon.Where this spoon might be better than my others is if I needed to spoon out many grapefruit for some kind of cooking project. Here the pulp stuck on the spoon wouldn't bother me nor the shallow scoop. The larger handle would be a better fit for long duration use, much like a thick pen doesn't cramp your hand.I am not a cook though and have little need for a large pile of grapefruit innards. I prefer to eat them one scoop at a time.

Not So Complete!
|
Eight months ago I purchased this software. I had initial problems with installation. It took several attempts to install. The program has no created or suggested lists of words (profanity, etc.)that signals the detection. Instead, yuou must create your own lists. Customer service told me that the lists were removed because people were offended by the words in them. This program also will not work if you are using XP's user accounts. If your child has been given a limited account QuietEye will not function on these accounts. Instead it notifies me that I am being watched! Customer service told me over 6 months ago that they were aware of the problem and an upgrade would be available in a few months. If I couldn't wait, they suggested that I seek a refund. Right! Still waiting! I agree with another reviewer who feels that this is more of a beta version. I suggest you look at other products.

Reverend Jen HAS a Job
|
I was shocked and horrified to see a review in which Reverend Jen's work of genius was given only one star and in which the Reverend is portrayed as a trust fund kid! The Reverend writes in her book about working for the man whilst continually producing art. Reverend works as cashier, runs a weekly open mike, runs her own zine and troll museum and much much more. It sounds as though this review was written by either a.) a jilted lover b.) her landlord or c.)or her former editors at a magazine that shall remain nameless, but who went out of business shortly after canning the Reverend. To call Reverend Jen a kept bird is ludicrous!!! Her kitchen ceiling has a hole in it! She has been working since she was 14! No, she does not come from a trailer park, but she is no Paris Hilton and she is not the type of person to ask for anything. This one-star review was both slanderous and bitter and should be disregarded by anyone considering buying this witty, winsome, yet scathing book.

excellent mini speakers
|
these were an excellent buy. sound was sharp and plenty loud enough. has its own volume control. you can use batteries or electricity(cord not included)and looks nice. the round part in the middle of the speaker is fragile as with any speaker so be careful not to poke at it. i have small grandchildren so they are explorers. the price i paid was only 3.00 + shipping and handling. and that still beats most costs of any product. i researched reviews first before buying and there shouldnt be any negative reviews about these speakers. there will be rejects with any products because machines do make errors as well as humans(eg, in packaging a product). delivery was on time. i would buy these again and from the same seller too. id like to get a few more really. you wont be sorry!!

It can't find a signal, even in its cradle.
|
We literally threw ours in the trash. I would hate to have someone pay good money for it at a thrift store and find out it doesn't work. Oh, it stays charged and all that. There's just no dial tone most of the time. We tried plugging it in several locations in the house, in case of interference or thick walls or something. It doesn't find a dial tone, no matter whether you are near the cradle or not. We missed phone calls for months without figuring out what was going on. The messages go to voicemail (our local provider) but the phone doesn't ring most of the time. And you want to make a call? Sorry, most of the time it just says "Searching..." and can't get any signal. Gee, I can understand that for a cell phone, but not for my land line.

A Book to crawl into for the soul
|
This book I would have to say touched my heart deeply. I myself am a 10 grade high school student that just had to read it for a literature assignment in 9th grade.This personally was the first Stephen King book I have read. Even though I have seen countless moives on his books. This book had certain parts in it that brought emotions to the suface I never knew I had.It really made me think about what life is like on Death role. Also the aspect that some people are not guilty is a great thing to think about. This book made me cry of happy tears and sad ones. Such a great book as this will never be forgotton. I now am a huge fan of Stephen's. Even though I know this book was not one of his usually ones still it is the best book I have ever read. If anyone wishes to contact me on other books or this one I am at [email protected] Stephen if u ever read this you are great. Thanks

Not worth it!
|
For editing this program is great. User friendly interface, etc. After that...Try getting help. The manual is absolutely terrible. The whole point in buying this program was to make a few VCD's. The manual says about 3 words on this subject. It does not even talk about some of the most important aspects of the program. It was obviously not written for the beginner. Website help? Forget it. Worse then the manual. Phone help? The toll free # listed gets you to the secretary. She's in charge of giving you the 900#.Don't waste your money or time (I sure did!)

Not for me.
|
I've purchased five different brands of soynuts/roasted edamame over the past month via Amazon.com. Each of them have their pros and cons. As for this particular brand I must say they give you a lot of value for your dollar. 12 12 ounce bags is much more then their competitors provide. Why I'm giving it such a bad rating though is due to its taste and texture. I guess I just prefer the smaller soynuts. These are relatively larger than the competitor's and don't have the soynut shell/skin. I actually thought they were peanuts when I opened the box. I find the smaller ones tastier and crunchier. The ranch flavoring wasn't what I expected either. To me it tasted like powdered milk when I was looking for more of a crunchy salty snack. Maybe the BBQ or lightly salted flavors would have been a better choice for me.

A guided reference for Notes Administrators
|

You also will be able to handle lotus script writing and posting common documents. You can flatly advise your company about the amount of hard disk space it requires for implementing Domino Server, whether they need partitioned server, set disk quota etc. It has also dealt with Notes upgrade from R4. So voila! Here is the book you were looking for. In one word, you can have very good sleep at night, once you lay your hand on this book.

NO EXTRA'S, NO SALE!
|
This not a review of the show, this a review of the product. I love the program. I have all the previous seasons on DVD that have been released so far, and was really looking forward to this one. However, I foolishly didn't read the reviews on it before I had purchased it. If I had, it would have saved me the trip to the post office to return it. AS others have stated, THERE ARE NO EXTRA'S! NO COMMENTARIES, NO DELETED SCENES, NO REASON TO OWN IT! All of the episodes are available to watch/download somewhere online, so why pay $35 for this? I would understand if they didn't have time to do commentary on all the episodes (though I do enjoy them), but to not include any special features is just lame. Please, don't buy this. This mediocrity is inexcusable.

Review of "Ryoko Ressurected"
|
This begins the OAV (specials) series of Tenchi Muyo. MUCH better than the TV series. A schoolboy accidently sets loose a demon named Ryoko from his Grandfather's shrine. The demon seems to be out to kill Tenchi, just to take her anger out! Then *another* alien shows up, as Princess Ayeka from planet Jurai! She is Ryoko's enemy, and wants her dead! Ayeka is also looking for her long lost brother Yosho. Will she find him? And why do Ayeka and Ryoko seem to hate eachother so? Is it that they both like Tenchi? Seems to be the case... EXCELLENT SERIES! WONDERFUL MUSIC AND ART! Although the intro isn't as good as the tapes that follow it. END

Dave! What Happened?
|
I'm not gonna say "They Sold Out..." I promise. But the simple fact is, this cd sounds infinitely more like Matchbox 20 than DMB. I just don't understand. I was so excited to get this CD, even though I really didn't like "I Did It", but I almost choked at first listen. Dave tells us the Lilywhite recordings were too depressing, BUT WE ALL LOVED THEM LIVE!! Jeez, if you want some upbeat songs, toss a few into the Lilywhite album and actually break the good old 11-12 song threshold. Don't scrap a masterpiece to give us 9-day old schlock! Frankly, I got tickets for the June 6 show (Turner Field! ARGHHHH!) and I'm really not getting my hopes up. I guess at least the songs from Everyday will give me time to take about a dozen bathroom breaks.Oh for the days when "Lie in Our Graves" and "Two Step" rocked my world.

fake
|
This is actually a review I wrote for the Bosch planer. But as I already had written a previous review It would not allow a 2nd one. So I am writing it here.I think some of these reviews are fake. After cmy problems with this planer I noticed that some of the other reviews were so glowing. so I clicked on " Ted Peterson".Surprise, surprise. He has made 8 reviews. All 8 were Bosch products!! All 8 were rated 5 star!! And all 8 were gushy in their praising of Bosch perfection. All 8 repeatedly mentioned the Bosh name and could not find ONE bad thing to mention in the performance of 11 tools. Have you ever bought 11 perfect tools?Same for " Skip Morris". 9 reviews. 9 Bosch tools ( and nothing else). Nine 5 star reviews. Nine Bosch love affairs.I think they work for Bosch.

OUR CHICKEN'S TIME RAN OUT!
|
We've had this timer for a couple years now, maybe a little longer. It's really cute. It does ring really loud. But lately it's taken to STOPPING before it should, i.e., it just STOPS! No ring! Nothing! We've known our food is done when we've smelled things burning! And it never WAS very good at timing things for less than 10 minutes...it often did the same thing, that is, just stop, without ringing. But it was SO CUTE! We kept it and dealt with it. But not anymore. Nope! I'm on-line today looking for a different style chicken timer!

Back to the drawing board...

Seriously, don't try this timer. I didn't believe the reviews until I tried it.It's worse than you'd think it'd be, especially for the OXO/Softworks brand. The screen is like a recessed! slit; hard to see; bad angle; and on top of that tiny. The buttons are very hard to press. You will try to press 'stop' and it won't work; then you press down really hard and it accepts it after 4 tries. Goofy controls and it is not user intuitive. Feels slightly cheap too, especially the clock/timer button. Just annoying. Mine got returned, thankfully. Believe me try something else! Or at least, keep the packaging and receipt, you'll return it.

The best of the best!

While browsing through the video store I lucked out and came across this video. I am crazy about this movie! After about the 6th time of having viewed it, totally inspired, I went to my piano and wrote a song. Excellent story, great music and super acting. I love Illeana Douglas. She came across as such a likeable character. It's hard to believe that she didn't actually record the music. For Real did a great job and sounded so much like the music of the 60's. In fact I was disappointed to discover that there was not a group named "The Lumanaries." Realistic depiction of the music and clothes from the 70's. I'm buying this one!

Customer service is awful!
|
Almost from the beginning this so-called instrument has given me different elevation gain readings for the same hike with the readings varying as much as 50%. When I called their so-called customer service I was treated with no concern, like I was some kind of idiot. In adddition this instrument is very complicated and the manual as well as very detailed and not easy to deal with. Their customer service person could use a basic course in "how to treat people with dignity." Or find a job where she only deals with rocks and other inanimate objects. Finally I ended up talking with a supervisor and they replaced it. Less than xix months later the replacement also gave bogus elevation gain readings --- now off by 1000%. I must now send my intrument in for them to check manually. However as the back of the so-called watch is plastic, not metal, it is impossible to get inside any longer. So much for a $200+ purchase. Into my junk drawer. A complete rip-off.

One of the worst movies I'v seen in years
|
And I'm not just saying that. This movie has bad everthing, bad casting, bad directing. The show had a perfect balance of humor and action. The movie takes it self so seriously it beyeond bad. The action scenes are some of the worst. All they are is a whole bunch of special effects with bad fight scenes. M. Night is the wrong director for this film. He has made the worst reviewed film this year so far (as of september 2010). Just look on imdb and look at the ratings or look on rotten tomatoes. Still not conviced? See it for yourself and releaize this was the worst movies ever made.

Emotionally satisfying
|
I bought this book over a year ago, but just could not get into it. Both Kwan and Olivia were annoying to me, albeit in different ways. And the book seemed to be another Amy Tan rehash of the clash between first and second generation Chinese. I finally tried reading it again recently, and for some reason, I was swept away. You just have to get past the first 50 pages to be in sync with the story structure. This time, I loved the characters and their belief that loved ones don't die, they simply become part of another sensory world. As for Amy Tan writing the same old things again, I guess it's really not a fair criticism. John Grisham writes the same book over and over again. Sue Grafton only writes crime novels featuring the same character. So you can't very well expect Amy Tan to start writing science fiction, for example. Overall, then, it's a not a bad way to spend an evening.

Kid A

Let's put it this way.Giving it the "edit playlist" test. If I delete 3-4 songs from the continuous program loop, the album is listenable and somewhat interesting. But that is where the problem is. As I have not felt the need to edit the playlist on any of the bands previous efforts. So yes I am disappointed and believe it is a step backwards for RadioHead.To be honest I kind of like guitars and vocals. And this album has hardly any. Straight synthesizer and tape loops for the most part. The pendulum simply swang to far off into left field on this CD. With only brief flashes of the bands previous brilliance on display. A very average CD from a very talented band. But in all fairness perhaps I just expected to much after OK Computer.So in conclusion, I suggest you walk, not run, to buy this CD. Cause your not really missing anything extraordinary by not having it. And it probably won't be sold out anyways.

Marketing scum at it worse.
|
I will nt review the movie here, just the DVD lay-out. I payed over 700 dollars for my DVD player, and thousands for the DVD's I own. And most of that money was spent to get more control over my home video experince. Mainly the useless previews on almost all VHS tapes sold anymore is what I hated. I paid for this, I don't want anymore of your ads. Now that I have this DVD (not for long, it goes back in the morning) I am yet again forced to deal with these previews. 5 or so of them. And for bad movies too. Dusk til Dawn 3? WTF?!?! If this is what is to be expected of BHVE, then I'll steer clear of them in the future. It is sad to see such a good movie go down because of such low production on the DVD, and so clear a lack of taste from our friendly niebor hood marketing scum.

Great sophmore album. different style that works!
|
i got this album first thing in the morning of the release. i was hoping it would be good, since i liked the group, but prepared for the worst. i was pleasently surprised! it's a great album! they got a new feel to them music, more rock into it, but they still included a few r&b styled pieces. a nice mix, and well worth my money. too bad the songs Death Wish + American Game were withheld. i thoroughly enjoyed those at the concerts... hopefully they'll turn up on a import somewhere. enough from me, GO! buy the album! you won't regret it!

Great Timer
|
After reading about problems with other timers, I came across this one. Since I only use the special circuit for Christmas lights, the lack of sunrise/sunset correction was not important to me. For two months the ballpark settings worked well. It was great to have the lights come on around dusk and turn off at midnite. Then I had it turn on when I woke up in the morning so when I drove to work in the dark I could see my Christmas lights that took so much work to put up. This also was good for other early commuters to see my display. Then it turned off around sunrise. Was pretty easy to program once I got my reading glasses!! A flash light maybe needed as it can be hard to read in dimly lit areas. Read the instructions first. It was easy to turn off for the off season. Will now look at the one with the sunrise/sunset feature for the front lights to use all year.

Couldn't believe this was a rosanne bittner book. yuk!
|
I am a Bittner fan. Probably the best book I've ever read (at least in the top 10) is outlaw hearts. It was wonderful. Love's Bounty is not only a disappointment but a travesty. A powerful, rich, highly educated harvard)32 yr old man finds his wife and daughter murdered so goes west and becomes a bounty hunter. His name is "Christian Mercy". Duh. He meets an 18yr old,hick talking, uneducated, poor , small town girl who hires him to find the men who murdered and raped her mother. On their travels they fall in love. Even the sex scenes do not exemply bittner's level of writing and tenderness. "The first time you have sex you hurt like hell but you keep having sex and it gets better". Having a baby "is like the first time u have sex....it hurts like hell"......What kind of dialogue is this? What a waste. This was definitely a "tosser" not a keeper.

AI The best movie
|
I dont know why people hated this movie so much. This was a wonderful movie by Stephen S. They didn't refer to the Blue Fairy too much because that's what the story was about. He wanted to become real and had heard the story so he thought the blue fairy was real. It was a beautiful movie that had me and my friends upset for weeks. This film was not recognised as much as it should have been, the trailers did it no justice and were misleading. I love this movie, you should too. (p.s.) did you know he was not allowed to blink once this entire movie. that's talent.) While I love Stanley Kub. I thought the movie was beatifully made. The aliens that everyone was complaining about at the end were advanced robots. Good for you Stephen, one day people will appreciate this movie.

Total garbage metal...

I heard the intro to a song called Not I. WTF. This is such a God forsaken rip-off of every other metal band. WTF. I Can't beleive people don't realize it's Christian music. How can you tell people to beleive in God if you sound like the devil himself. WTF. The music is un-inspiring. I've heard Slipknot make better riffs. WTF. They say their hunting demon's, but they hate demons, because they love God. WTF. These guys are not what should be concidered good metal. WTF. That's all I have to say.

An absorbing and factual historical drama.
|
Churchill's political story in the 1930s is rendered very well in this work. Robert Hardy as Churchill delivers an excellent performance. The dialogue, acting, and general ambience of this series are excellent. The sound quality on this DVD is questionable, specially Episode 1. Much of the dialogue seems muffled. Understanding Baldwin's mumble is quite a chore. However, after one adjusts to these shortcomings you are sure to get hooked.One caveat. You will have to turn up the volume to compensate for the accents.One can say with regards to Churchill that the "man and the hour had met". Churchill certainly was a major figure in saving Western civilization. Going through this series I could not but help noticing how privileged a life he led. The family estate, Checkers, was beautiful with servants galore.

Fahrfrömwerken!

I was thrilled when I got this iron. German engineering in a household gadget! It's heavy, it steamed flawlessly (I didn't have the leakage issues other reviewers had), and was the iron of my dreams (if there can be such a thing). I adored this iron. I updated my social media page about this iron. And then two days ago, it broke my heart. I plugged it in, noticed a somewhat disconcerting electrical smell, and the little green light never came on. It just died. No warning, no brave last days, no nothing. And had I registered it for warranty purposes? Of course not! Who registers an iron (even an expensive one)? I have no recourse and no iron. Curse you, Rowenta!

Entertaining but lacking
|
I was disappointed in this film as a whole. There were elements of it that impressed me, such as Robin Williams' performance as a psychopath. The cinematography and the lighting were good as well. The events lacked. This film didn't have much purpose. It was only an hour and a half, and it didn't live up to its potential. This could have been a great film if it had given the viewer more to think or talk about. It was just weak. This is not something that most kids would enjoy. They would be bored while waiting for Robin Williams to crack a joke, and its R rating reflects sexual content, including some nudity, and profanity. One Hour Photo was okay. It just was not a thriller that stands out among thrillers. It was weak. For a good psychopath movie, watch The Silence of the Lambs.

Should have tried before making such a big purchase!
|
I was not familiar with this product before I purchased it. I just liked the flush-able aspect. Plus the term "Sensitive" suggested that it would not be offensively scented. And, the price per wipe was good. Unfortunately, they are useless to us. These wipes are very, very fragrant. When we are in the bathroom, the question, "what's that smell?" should be reserved for the obvious, NOT the odor of the wipes!! These wipes are tiny and thin, too. Not the same size as other pop-up flush-able wipes, so a new dispenser is required. I think my toddler will have more success just using toilet paper or a full-sized cloth wipe and water. Obviously someone likes this product. Hopefully I can fine a worthy donee.

Not for us
|
The bottles are great if you want simple bottles and can tighten them the "right" way. However, I could tighten 3 out of 5 of my bottles "correctly" but no matter what I did, I could not get those two other bottles correct. They would just leak and leak and soak my poor daughter. Also, my daughter had EXTREME gas from these bottles. She would SCREAM endlessly after every feeding. Even Mylicon wouldn't help her when using the Avent bottles. We switched to Dr. Brown's bottles and it is a remarkable difference. She doesn't scream and I actually look forward to feeding her! And I haven't used the Mylicon drops once since we switched bottles. If your baby is suffering from extreme gassiness, SWITCH bottles... it helped us!!

Laugh-Out Loud Funny
|
(Colg. Kid):That's right. This album is so horrible it's funny. Why does it have three stars on this website? C'mon. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect example of how bad the music scene has gotten in recent years. Take for example the lyrics, how dumb can you be to write lyrics as stupid as these. Oh yeah, not to mention she can't sing to save her life. Her voice sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. I have never heard such untalented stuff in my life. Why again is she famous? It's ridiculous that record companies give contracts to people like Paris. Btw, I am a straight-as-it-gets guy and I am not the least bit turned on by her. I think she is ugly, immoral, and most definitely undeserving of her current status. Do us a favor Paris and stop trying to destroy music with your stupid lyrics and your idiotic personality. That'd be great. I wish I could rate this album 0.

It was supposed to be Billy Joel!!!!
|
This band visited my high school back in 1990. They seemed like nice guys but then again nice doesn't mean good. Look at the band Lifer. I met them at their release party and they were cool guys. Problem was the music was terrible. Same thing with Gorky Park. Maybe it was the fact we all thought we were going to see Billy Joel but instead we get.....GORKY PARK?? It's a moment I can reflect back on and laugh when I am awake but when I sleep at night I toss and turn with Bang playing in my nightmares endlessly. I then wake up in a cold sweat. I can understand and respect that every other review on here loves the album but I can honestly say I did not like the album at all. I remember when I received this CD as a gag gift. Within a year I threw it away.

results not as expected
|
I was very excited when I read about the master cleanser on a website. I had been eager to cleanse my entire body and start a whole new diet, based on more wholesome foods and giving up on refined foods and sugars.I am on the 9th day of my diet, and I must say I am very disappointed. I am in a permanent state of hunger, and I should say it doesn't pay off! I've been expecting for elimination of tons of mucus, phlegm, vomiting... and I've experienced none so far! I feel tired and sleepy all the time. Even though it is not a reducing diet, I was expecting to lose more weight, because I consider myself overweight. I am 5'7", and weigh 175 lb. I've lost so far 8lb. The good thing is the salt water bathing. It REALLY cleanses your digestive system.I've come to the conclusion that there is NO diet that suits all people. There are so many variables to be considered: race, blood type, age.

Sooner or later you'll learn to love BBMak!
|
If you love such boybands as 98 degrees, backstreet boys, and nsync, you will love BBMak! Don't be fooled! They are not a boyband! They play their own instruments and wrote 7 out of 12 songs on their cd. In addition to thier awesome talent, they have dazzling good looks! Christian is such a hottie! I even got to meet BBMak! When I first listened to the cd, I was amazed, no bad songs! I love all of them! Some of my faves are: "Still on your Side", "Back here", "ghost of you and me", "next time", and "love is leaving". Belive me, there are many more that I love too! You have to buy this cd!

Not the Electrolux you're familiar with...
|
buyer beware. the electrolux company that has been doing business in the united states since 1924 has sold the copyright to the name and is currently under the names "aerus" or "lux". go do your research and you'll see what i mean. the 'since 1919' deal that this company mentions means the company has been known as electrolux overseas since then. they are a sweedish/chinese company. not sure why consumer reports gave this machine such a good review. it has decent suction but wow...the parts are VERY cheap. the hose feels cheap. no service stations to get your warranty honored (you've got to mail your machine off which will cost you in shipping). set this machine next to any aerus canister and decide for yourselves. don't just read reviews. go out. look. compare on what you've seen and you'll see what i mean.

WWF SmackDown! is the best ever!
|
WWF SmackDown! is the funnest game I have ever played in my life! I love this game because entrance movies and themes are displayed just as they are on TV. The one and only bad thing is there is no commentary by Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross. There is no commentary at all but the graphics and options on this game make up for it. All matches are available on this game. Matches, such as: Hardcore, Special Referee, Cage Match, etc. are present. You can even make your own Pay-Per-View event. This is a very fun game that you will not waste your money on! I PROMISE!

Detroit Bonks Badonkadonk
|
I was incredibly excited when I took delivery of my Badonkadonk. I cruised the streets of Detroit with impunity. I was so giddy that I nicknamed it "George". Little did I know, however, that the street gangs had started using tactical nukes. Imagine my suprise at that brilliant light! I was very impressed that the machine survived the initial explosion intact. Unfortunately, the EMP did it in. All electrical components were immediately useless. This, of course, has led to a rather ticklish situation. I'm currently in the basement of some burned out house in Highland Park, and my hosts keep referring to me by names I don't understand. Well, my Q still has 50% battery power, so I'll probably be able to call the manufacturer in the morning to discuss hardening the Badonkadonk. Wish me luck!G.Oh, PS.I was talking on my Q when the explosion occured. It was just pure dumb luck that the Q was shielded from the EMP by the plate in my head!

By Far The Best ON Whey Flavor
|
Love this product. I've been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for almost 5 years now, and it's fantastic. Very low calorie, great taste. I've tried lots of flavors, so far I've had:-Chocolate-Vanilla Ice Cream-Strawberry-Cookies & Cream-Tropical PunchThe tropical punch in my opinion is the best, because it tastes great when just mixed with water and ice. All flavors are best when mixed with milk (adding yogurt is also great), but I find that some flavors with just water are tough to choke down. It tastes like fruity pebbles. Great for a meal replacement, as it curbs appetite for several hours too. But I like this for its versatility. Not too heavy, great tasting, mixes great with water or milk. I like to blend it with 2 ice cubes, 12oz water, and a heaping scoop post workout for best results. Be wary or the vanilla ice cream flavor - very strange taste that I'm not a fan of. Cookies and cream is probably the 2nd best, followed by strawberry.

Great Album
|
This album is phenomenal. I dont even speak fluent spanish and I love it. The music is amazing. The show must have been incredible. I'd really enjoy seeing him live after hearing this. If you speak spanish, you'll love the album. If you dont, then you can still get into the songs and translate them over time. The lyrics are great. Like Rebosa Mi Corazon taken from the first 2 verses of Psalm 45 and Enviame A Mi. (Here I Am, Lord Send Me - a beautiful missions song, absolutely astounding. I play this song pretty often, people (Gringos) love it. Great Album, one of my very favorites.

Be Careful!!!!! I Have a Nikon D-50
|
I recieved this lens in new and good condition. I can not get this lens to focus clearly on my Nikon D-50. Also, the focus adjustment is very sensitive and difficult to use without a tripod. Therefore I don't think sporting events would be appropriate for this lens. Even on infinity beyond the minium focusing distance the image is not clear. I may have recieved a lemon. But it is very cheap indeed. I can't adjust my camera, apperature, with this lens on, even in manual, just the exposure time. The downloaded picture with the picture info says F0 at 0-mm. I will work on the problem and see if it can be resolved. I am new to the Digital camera SLR but not to photography. On the other hand this lens has a lot of potential if you can get it to focus.

Defective DVD's
|
Well, I took a chance since I loved Emergency when I was a child and orderd Season One despite the warnings of others. My DVD made it to episode 2 when it froze up at 7:24. Yes, it will be returned. It's ashame Amazon.com continues to sell these defective products despite so many complaints. I will request a replacement. Oh well.Update 1/11/06: Received replacement DVD today which is also defective. Disk 1 Side A Episode 2 will not play. This will be returned also. Amazon states the problem with the DVD is more widespread than they originally thought and they won't send another replacement although they will refund my money. I guess I will have to look into buying a decent used copy. I would never recommend anyone buying these defective DVD's. Shame on you Universal.

From thigh-high boots& 10ft hair to a refreshing masterpiece
|
This is fabulous! A million times better than Y Kant Tori Read! The begginings of Tori's claim to fame, although I don't think Tori is obsessed with fame. I am a long time Tori fan, and this is one of her must have CD's; it's classic! She washes and hangs her dirty laundry in public! She saves my life again & again. Whether you are dealing with social issues, young adulthood, religion, trauma, or you name it, you can identify with Tori. Her strength is magnificent, her voice stunning, and her work tickling the ivories is fanominal. You'll fall in love with this CD, if you have any good sense what so ever. Silent all these years & Winter are two of my personal favorites on the Cd. Check them out on music video as well. This is like a diary. A down to earth, honest, extreme roller-coaster kind of diary.

I want more!
|
I just finished viewing the first disk of this set. After 6 weeks of dodging hurricanes here in Fl, I found this series to be so relaxing. This series is an excellent stress releaser. It reminded me that there are people in far worse circumstances and I. There is help in some form for all of us. All I have to do is ask for it.I hope that the whole series is released and soon. TBAA is a show that the whole family can watch and discuss together. For those engaged in religious education TBAA provides a forum for religious instruction.I also enjoy the singing and the comments. I have missed some episodes over the years and now I have a chance to see them again. I sincerely hope that the complete series is released and soon. It is great TV and an example of what family TV should be. Release a season each month. I will purchase the complete series.

a Great read
|
From the very first page, literally, this was the best book I have ever read. Totally "unputdownable"!!! The ending may not be what you like, but it's unexpected, and good. This book, as well as any so called "classic", does a superb job of exploring the human condition from many different angles, religion, race, love, loyalty, desperation . . . It is also NONSTOP ACTION. Read this book, and miss a night's sleep . . . it's worth it!!!

Listeners' Discretion is Advised
|
When I went to see Requiem for a Dream, my friends and I were about five minutes late. Therefore, when we entered the theater, the first thing we heard was "Summer Overture". I remember thinking to myself, "Man, this movie is going to be disturbing." And so it was.This soundtrack is, by far, the most poignant, beautiful, absolutely terrifying score I've ever heard. Make sure you've got your wits about you if you're going to listen to it, or it will eat you alive. Just to psych myself out, I listened to "Summer Overture" and "Dreams" while driving on a badly lighted street at night. Then I turned my headlights off. I got so scared that I nearly crashed into a tree. This soundtrack is dangerous! It gets in my dreams. It makes me feel like I've experienced things that I've never experienced. I never thought a conga could be so utterly frightening. Watch out.

Diappointed!

I ordered this game from Amazon.com. They sent it to me via their merchant J&R Music World. It was advertised as being Windows XP compatible. However, after I installed the game and noticed that it wasn't compatible did I see that the box states that the product was meant for Windows 95/98/Me. I have written to J&R Music World and I am hoping that I will get a full refund. I am greatly surprised, due to having had much wonderful experience with Amazon.com. So..be careful when ordering P.C games. I noticed on Amazon's refund policy they will not give a refund if the item has been removed from plastic cover. In my case (faulty advertising) I believe I should get a refund. BE CAREFUL !!

Great Musical "Performed" in a football stadium
|
This is a great piece of modern musical art and entertainment. I've gone to see it in London and have seen it at the Shubert in Century City many times. In all cases the casts were excellent and the overall effect was moving! Here comes the 25th anniversary concert on blu-ray with state of the art surround sound! What a disappointment! The concert was done in what seemed to be a football stadium, complete with screaming fans who yelled and applauded over most of the orchestral passages. Each of the "singers" were equiped with microphones in which each screamed for the entire evening. Not all the singers were vocally good enough to merit all that amplification. There is no balance between vocal parts and the orchestra. The performers stand in place sreaming while the orchestra can't be heard. This has been a lesson to me. You can't hear a musical production that has been produced as if it were a football game.

Don't believe the reviews!

I have enjoyed watching Stargate SG-1 up until season 9. This season, on the other hand, has lost its spark. There was no clear transition between season 8 and 9. Characters left and were introduced for no apparent reason and there is no cohesion between the team members. What was once a clever well-thought-out sci-fi drama has been demoted to a stereotypical space opera with poor acting, bad plots, and tasteless costumes better left for such flops as Farscape and Andromeda. General Landry's eyes are spooky, not to mention his bad acting and the unnecessary plot with him and his daughter with the grudge. Sound familiar? Yep. It's been done already. Oh, and whatever happened to the romance between Sam and Jack? Did he retire and forget about his crush? Who does that? Do yourself a favor. Stop watching at season 8. You'll thank me later.

Dashed Expectations
|
We purchased the V750-M as a replacement for an aging scanner. The item arrived in perfect condition. After installing the requisite software and configuring the scanner we were off and running. The scanner made excellent scans while in reflective mode. Color rendering, ease of use, etc. were as expected for a professional grade scanner. Unfortunately the scanner didn't work so well in transparency mode. It acted as if it was scanning but all the scans were scrambled, smeared and completely worthless. We tried it using the Epson software and VueScan with no change. After contacting Epson for advice they finally decided it was an internal problem and we needed to send it in to them for repair. Having just received the item a week earlier we opted to return it and locate another product to fill our needs. Our decision was also predicated on multiple on-line accounts of similar problems with transparency scanning. For a scanner costing over $700 this is totally unacceptable.

ain't happening

This CD is horrible. When I heard "Must Be Nice" I thought this CD would be worth a listen. Boy, was I wrong. I was trying to give this CD a chance but to be honest I wasn't feeling none of these songs. They were absolutely horrible and did not appeal to me at all. What are you people thinking giving him so many positive reviews. Are you all high on something? This is the worst record I have heard. First of all he gives a little history narration before every song which is very annoying. What really hurts this CD is the lack of quality lyrics, the right melodies and beats. I know he writes his own songs but he really needs help in producing quality music. The only song I liked was "Smile". This one is something to listen to. It has that 1970's flavor and actually sounds like music. The rest is just garbage and his voice isn't that great either, a little too husky.If you are in your right mind do not buy this CD. It is a waste of money.

One glaring omission
|
I thought I was going to like this book, and in fact it does cover most of the topics fairly well. It is well-organized and includes a useful CD. But it has one GLARING omission: no discussion, not even a mention, of inserting pictures. So if you have scanned images or images from a digital camera, you won't get any help from this book. This is such a common use for Powerpoint that I kept thinking I was mistaken, but it's just not there. Animation, sound files, clip art, Word Art, graphics you draw -- all are covered, but photographs and scanned images (i.e., JPEGs, GIFs, TIFFs, etc.) don't get a mention. This powerful capability of Powerpoint is my associates' (university faculty and physician-educators) stock in trade, and the real reason they use Powerpoint. Sadly, the book spends a huge amount of space on what is really trivial decoration - clip art images and Word Art. What do the author's think is important? Why do they think we use Powerpoint?

A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING but still great
|
Well, I've been listening to Boz for well over thirty years and love him. His DVD is possibly the best music dvd of all time. BUT I was a bit disappointed by this CD as much as it has been hyped. LOWDOWN is fantastic. Exactly what I had hoped for. HARBOR LIGHTS - light, delicate, wonderful. A seven minute SIMONE? Delightful. And I'll even give you WE'RE ALL ALONE as well done but here's the problem - it's too much like the original version and that is why the 4 stars, not 5. Especially true on SIERRA and JUST GO - no new ground broken here. I had really looked forward to a new version of JUST GO. It sounds just like the original. Next time, I vote just Boz and an acoustic guitar...well, maybe Monet, too.

Gross.
|
I had to double-check the expiration date: Yep, expires a year from now. Still, it smells and tastes like oil gone bad. There's soy. There's flax. There's something sweet. But it's all drowned out by the taste and smell of the bad oil. I opened two bars to be sure, and passed one to my coworker to smell. "Yeah, gross," she said. "I usually eat stale stuff, but I wouldn't eat that!"Although I purchased this exact product locally, I did not buy it from this retailer.I'm surprised and disappointed - their pumpkin granola cereal is my favorite cereal!I much prefer Cascadian Farm's crunchy pumpkin granola bars, but they're hard to find. Kashi's are good if you don't have a wheat or a gluten allergy.

Maxcell VHS T-120 vidieo tapes.
|
Maxcell tapes where delivered in perfect condition. However the picture of the product online did not match the picture on the box. It does however still use the same bar code. I was hoping to get the older version of the product since I had used that version for many years and was extremly satisfied with the product. A recent box cover design change made me wonder if the materials changed in the production of the item. I normally get these tapes at Boscov's but they did not carry them anymore. I looked on Amazon and found the old version box style. However, I recieved the newer changed version. NO APPARENT DIFFRENCES IN QUALITY HAVE BEEN NOTICED YET. Time will tell. I decided not to return them since I planned on buying some of these anyway. Only not as many.

umm.........

I think this cd was kindof a dissapointment. Fo one thing, the dc talk song there. I ean, that song is ok but it was made in 1998. And the P.O.D. song? They should hve put more rocky songs on this cd. This cd is 2001's most forgotten hits to me. I mean,they could have at least put a better P.O.D. song on it. P.O.D. is second favorite band. And whenIheard they were on it, i was s excited. Then i got really mad when i heard it. I think wow 2002 is the best ne yet. I'm not sure about 2003 because i haven't heard it yet.

Tithing by T.D. Jakes
|
THere is not a single verse in the New Testament teaching, encouraging, or commanding Christians to tithe. In Mat. 23:23 Jesus said tithing was a matter of the law. Abraham tithed ONE time in scripture. God promises His BLESSING on GIVING, not tithing. Supporting a Christian corporation is not God's plan, meeting the needs of His people is. Tithing CORRUPTS ministers who have NO scriptural example of living from tithes. Paul worked and he told the elders and ministers to do likewise. (Acts 20:33-34-55) This testimony is true, read your Bible. Maybe the "Matter of love" he refers to has more to do with money and lifestyle enjoyed by a huge number of corporate church ministers. By the way, can you name ONE pastor in the New Testament as being head or in charge of a local church?

Update: This must be a refilled cartridge!
|
Update: I continued to have problems with the cartridges for months, but eventually they started printing with gaps in the printed page and I realized it must be the drum! Replaced the drum and the cartridges print great! Please forgive my previous review. These are great products. If you are having problems like I described below, try replacing the drum!This must be a refilled toner cartridge. The side of the paper have a stringy black material and splotches of black toner. At first it was on both sides of the paper, now after a month it is only on one side. These pages are useless for anything but drafts. Now I have two of these toner cartridges and it will be at least a year before they are used up. I will never order from this company again. Get new toner cartridges from legitimate suppliers. It is worth the money you pay to buy new toner cartridges!

An Utter Waste of the Author's Obvious Talent
|
Jason Starr has fiction chops to die for. Characters are beautifully drawn. The setttings are wonderfully depicted. But this thing is an awful mess. We start with a character who is not exactly a rocket scientist, but bedrock decent and hard working. Over the course of the book, he becomes a) a complete moron, b) a stalker, c) a burglar, d) a guy who steals from his employer. In other words, his basic character as a human being changes. If Starr was trying for humor, well, it's not funny. In fact, the overall feeling this book left me with was depression. I usually donate my used paperbacks to the local library. This one I'm going to throw out. I wouldn't want anyone else to have to read it.

I must have done this wrong
|
I wanted to buy this, but rented from the library to try it out first. I did the easier/beginners workout. I thought the pace was great. She tells you at the beginning she will do it first to show you, and then you do it together. Once in a while it had little side video of what not to do to break form. As I worked out I thought "man, I'm going to be sore tomorrow". A couple of the exercises I couldn't even do (like laying on your stomach and lifting your legs and shoulders off the ground). However, with as hard and effective as I thought this video was when I was doing it, I did NOT wake up sore the next day. At all. I should have which tells me I was doing all of the moves wrong somehow. Something was missing in the video. Something that would have helped me have an effective workout. I am puzzled.

Monopoly in Action
|
Only buy an HP printer if you're willing to pay their high ink prices. I bought the 6310 after my previous HP printer bit the dust (after only 3 years). The 6310 happened to use the same color cartridge as my old printer (one reason I bought the 6310). But when I put the cartridge in my new printer, I kept seeing thin blue lines on my printouts and aligning the cartridges didn't help.So I contacted HP support. Without going into all the details, I determined that HP is "locking" out remanufactured cartridges by having their HP software print blue lines. When I run a test page from the printer (i.e. not through the computer), there are no blue lines and my cartridge worked fine in the old printer . . . so it's NOT the cartridge no matter what HP says. It's a monopoly in action!!!

Strangelove Never Gets Old
|
This might be my favorite film of all time. Kubrick created a genuine masterpiece with this movie. The other glowing reviews here pretty much cover every comic nuance of this great flick so I won't duplicate the effort here. If you have not seen this movie stop whatever you're doing, find a copy and watch it right now.If you have seen this film and even if you own the VHS make the investment in the DVD . . . the bonus features are well worth it and will give you new insights into this incredible dark comedy.FYI . . . keep your eye on the Russian embassador during the scene in which Strangelove gets out of the wheelchair . . . he starts to crack up at Peter Seller's ad libbed performance and then catches himself - - very funny stuff.

Faith at Her Best!
|
I have only recently become a country music fan. I wasn't sure I would like Faith Hill, but this was the first CD of hers I purchased. From the very first song "This Kiss," I was instantly drawn into her music. What I love about her songs is that they are so real. "You Give Me Love" is so real and so strong. It's nice to hear a song that a woman sings about a man who is crying for a change. "The Secret of Life" has taken some getting used to. It is not my absolute favorite on the CD. "Me" is the song that means the most to me since I have experienced trying to change for someone else in a relationship. And "I Love You" is a heart-jerker for those who have loved someone from afar. She has a big voice, and she nails each song on this CD. Give it a try!

Caution! It's tiny pellets, not liquid drops!
|
The product description really should specify the FORM of the medicine. I was surprised to open my package, find no correspondence, a sticky label slapped over the directions (that I had to peel off so I could read directions) & then... It was NOT a liquid... It was tiny pellets!Trying to get "a large pinch" of these pellets into my cat's mouth-- & getting her to swallow it? Ha! Fail! So, I don't know yet if the stuff works, or not!Another user review suggested dissolving the pellets in a 1/2 teaspoon it 1 teaspoon of water & draw that up into a syringe (w/o needle, of course) & squirting that into the car's mouth. Thank you to that reviewer for the suggestion.I'm frustrated that the vendor didn't include a note thanking me for my order or giving better instruction or anything. And VERY frustrated that it wasn't a liquid. Really-- come up with a more thorough description of your product!!

Um, no

I should have sent this back immediately. The utensil is thin and inexpensively made. It's too flexible, and don't think for a minute it's anywhere near the quality of an Oxo product, even though it's priced like one. It's a low quality product from China. And I don't mean that in a good way. The vendor clearly has no interest in generating customer goodwill or repeat buyers.To add insult to injury, they used a sticker on the back of the bowl that was inmpossible to remove without using GooGone. Come on, people. In this day and age? Use product stickers that can be removed, especially when we're talking about kitchen stuff.If you need a nylon spoon, go to your local supermarket and spend $3 on whatever they have in their kitchen aisle. You'll be better off. Or spend the extra money for an Oxo product. They're worth it.

CORNWELLS NOT THE SAME ANY MORE!!!!!!
|
This book picks up where Cornwells last one left off. I really not not like much of the book. The first many, many pages were very boring, talk, talk, talk. The middle was pretty good, then the ending was bad again. I could not believe just as Scarpetta was about to be done in the action stops and the next page says. "Two weeks later!" Bad ending Patricia. I have read all of the Kay Scarpetta books, I may not read another one. I really like Marino, Lucy I can do without, but I have come to feel like I am part of this group of people. Sad to leave them. I nearly put this one down before I finished it and that is rare for me. I know Patricia Cornwell can and has done better. ...

The Listless Word-Finder
|
This was an extremely frustrating book to read. There were many gaps in the word lists. The two letter word list only contained 85 of the 96 acceptable two letter words. It was missing ag, ex, hm, mm, mo, mu, ne, uh, um, wo, and xu. All of those words are contained in The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (1995) but not contained in this 1998 book based on that dictionary. The Three Letter Words from Two Letter Words also had many gaps. The very first two letter word (AA - cindery lava)only listed BAA, and totally missed AAH, AAL, and AAS. This is just one of many, many, omissions through out the book. The only benefit I found in having the book was in finding some words which contain a particular letter in the middle of the end of the word. But even these lists were incomplete. This book is not worth the investment.

My First Julia Quinn Novel
|
I read this book after surfing Amazon one day for my favorite author Nora Roberts. Someone had a wish list or something and mentioned that they loved Nora Roberts and Julia Quinn. I then went to [a bookstore] where they were having a buy 4 get 1 free sale. As my free book, I picked up this one. Suffice it to say, I was not dissappointed. This book was just plain fun! I read it in no time. I admit, it did get a bit slow towards the end, but I still liked it. I feel that the good parts, made up for the slower parts. After reading this book, I went out and bought Anthony's novel, which I shall review later. After reading the reviews on this book, however, I must say I am even more excited to get her other books, since this one does not seem to be her most popular by any means.

Nice picture quality, but Bogus Widescreen for Thieves!!
|
I was pleased with the quality of the picture of these two movies compared to my VHS versions of the films. I thought it odd that Thieves turned out to be widescreen instead of fullscreen (which is what is printed on the box). Unfortunately, IT IS NOT WIDESCREEN!!! I compared the DVD to the VHS of Thieves and realized that for the DVD, they added a black bar at the top and bottom OF THE FULLSCREEN VERSION! So you're seeing EVEN LESS of the movie with the new DVD version in comparison to the fullscreen VHS version! I can't tell you how ticked off this makes me. MGM recently got in trouble for pulling this type of tactic and it looks like Disney is heading down the same slope. BTW, the best part of the movie for comparison is during the Brady Bunch part of the 'Father and Son' song. Chopped off at the top and bottom. Nice. Hold onto your VHS copies of Thieves if you want to see the whole picture.

Back Again with Error H03
|
I have had my DVD player back a whole 7 weeks after getting the H03 code repaired when I got the H03 code again. I only turned the unit on 3 times (I'm afraid it would break again and I need it in times of emergencies). The repair center had replaced the Shaft Assembly, Interior Gears, Traverse Motor, and Optical Pick Up Assembly.I called Don Eppinger, Director of Consumer Affairs at Panasonic, to discuss the repeat problem. Don was nice enough to call me after I wrote a complaint letter to Panasonic regarding my first H03 code. Now I am calling on him again. He said he will get back to me but it "shouldn't be happening."I want my money back but I don't think that will happen. I feel like I threw my money away. I, too, am considering buying a cheaper model. I am also considering starting a petition about this terrible product. A class action lawsuit has also come to mind.

Good artist; bad record
|
Fans of "Mariah: The Early Years" should take caution before buying this CD: you will be sorely disappointed. Critics have reported that she returns to form on this album, but I certainly don't hear it. Sensational media drama aside, this woman has an AMAZING voice -- so it perplexes me that she and her producers fail to put it to good use. She seems to whisper a good portion of her vocals, and the majority of cuts are geared toward a rap-oriented audience. (This latter part is perhaps the most unfortunate blow to this long-time Mariah fan.) There are about five (out of 15!) songs that I would listen to again, the best of which is "My Saving Grace." Is that worth the money I handed over to give her a chance to recapture my interest? Not in my eyes. What I see instead is a great artist struggling to come back out on top by trying to please too many audiences. In the end, I don't think she'll end up pleasing anyone.
