New pump failed, I flooded
I bought this pump 2 months ago. Last week, we got 2 inches of rain on 2 consecutive days. That's not enough to have challenged my last sump pump. This one failed, I had an inch plus of water everywhere and it is not covered by insurance (the rider pays $1000 max). Had the part fixed, and it did it again!!! Waiting for their customer service dept. to open. My insurance company thinks they're liable. Who knows. Buyer Beware!!!

Avoid this loser mouse
I have been using the Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 for about six months and it is the worst mouse I've ever used. First, many people think it is a bluetooth device. It isn't. You have to plug in the USB stick that comes with it for it to work at all. Secondly, the scroll wheel only works with about half the software on my PC. I've ordered a non-microsoft mouse to replace it. Nothing I've read online seems to fix it. And the people who keep tinkering with your bluetooth signal and software: You are wasting your time. It's not bluetooth. That's why it isn't called a bluetooth device. That is why it does not show up in the bluetooth hardware list. That is why screwing with the bluetooth on your PC will do no good. This mouse is just a dog that don't hunt.

What the heck?
If I could give this zero stars I would. I saw the trailer and it looked really interesting.... NOT! Throughout the whole movie I couldn't help but keep looking over at my friend and yelling things like "What?" or, "I don't get it!" Listen, please do not waste your time like I did, and watch a good movie. Its a shame that this was Heath Ledger's last movie, because I wouldn't want my last movie to be remembered as this one! It's terrible! I mean, there's nothing good about it. I can't think of anything that was good. No plot, a story that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and an ending that's as terrible as it's beginning. I don't know what else to say.... It's awful and a waste of time, I implore you to do anything but watch this movie. And if you insist upon doing the latter then at least rent it because you will feel so stupid and guilty for wasting your money buying it once you've seen it. Don't be fooled by the people rating this with 5 stars! What are they thinking?

Insinkerator Instant Hot Water Dispenser LEAKS after warranty expires!
This is my third Insinkerator instant hot water dispenser. This one is the 'new & improved" version. The tank is stainless, so hopefully it will outlast the two others. They each started leaking after 7 or 8 years. This one was very easy to install, however as my old spigot had copper lines i did need a kit from Insinkerator to convert over (the new unit uses slip on silicone hose instead of bolt on copper). Insinkerator sent me the adaptor kit for free. Their customer service was GREAT. Took less than 2 minutes to talk to a person, and this was a weekend NIGHT.The only drawback to this unit is that there is some noise from it as the water boils when heating. UPDATE 12/13/2011 After THREE years and ONE MONTH (almost exactly a month after the warranty expired) I came home to find the darned thing leaking! I will call Insinkerator in the morning to see if they will be flexible on their warranty! I will report back!

Deserves more than 5 stars
I bought this album in 1997 when I was in high school and I have never put it away. (I even bought my best friend a copy). This album is tops on my all time favorites. Rashaan is truly a rare talent, his voice and music is absolutely beautiful. I love his style...not conforming to what everyone else is doing, just being himself. It is so unique. It hurts to know that true music is being hidden from the rest of the world. I wish that more people knew about this album (I just found out he just realeased a 3rd album After Hours). I highly recommend this album to any true neo-soul music lovers, you will not be disappointed. I have been a fan of his music and will continue to buy any album that he puts out. I also recommend his 2nd album Love in Stereo, and I just ordered his new album After Hours and I can not wait to listen to it. Any of his albums are definately a must have!!!

always looking for the best deals but very disappointed
I thought that I was truely pleased with this ink cartridge . The quality of ink was superb for the price . So I thought .I didn't even spend $10 and it's like I bought the regular HP ink which would have cost me around $20 to $30 . So I really saved big time . But in a matter of 4 days , I was truely disgusted with this purchase . I used the ink for my all in one . I only used it to fax documents ( 3 times , 3 little pages ) and only receiving 3 fax confirmations and on the 4th document my confirmation page was blank . I know that 3 little confirmation pages did not drain all that ink from a fresh ink cartridge . Never again will I purchase from this company . What a rip off . I guess costing under $10 , what was I expecting . :(

In My Opinion....
Fahrenheit 451 lists in my top 5 of worst books ever. my english class had to read it. i didnt even read the lastsection. by the time the first test rolled around, i hadnt even read 10 pages. i evenually forced myself to read it but stopped when i got to last section cause i thought if i read anymore, i might die. i felt no connection to the characters, no emotion towards them. Everything is drawed out way to much. when he could easly say something in a couple pages, he takes like 50 to tell one little minor thing. For me, its really boring and stupid. For u, many ur will like it. Maybe not. Cant no until u attempt to read it(NOTE: i said attempt)

Would not work at all
Installed the software, no problem. Plugged the Huey device into a USB port and it was recognized by my computer, no problem. Clicked on the Huey icon to run the program and the screen came up with the "start" button, no problem. Clicked on the "start" button and the program immediately terminated. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, same results.Called Pantone. A human answered the phone after one ring -- impressive. Bad news, he indicated that my problem seems to occur frequently with Dell computers (which I have). Something about the USB ports not providing enough power for the Huey device to function properly and that I'd need to get a USB hub with its own power supply. Ugh. I suppose I could get one (they're inexpensive), but what's to say that that's indeed going to solve my problem. I've already spent too much time trying to get this $65 product to work.Long story short, Huey's getting returned. Huey, we never even knew ya.

A beautiful and motivational story full of unvaluable wisdom
It's all about feelings. It's all about drive. It's all about purpose. This book will help you to reach your goals, certainly. But only if you are serious about them. Otherwise, nor this book, neither anything in life will do.This book will give you inspiration, it will provide you with clear advice. It will also help you to clear up all those doubts and legends coming from the media.Usually easy things are not worth doing. In order to excel in anything you have to learn to love it. If you don't enjoy the journey, you will never reach the destiny. That's all this book is about: learning to enjoy the journey, learning to know yourself. Become more so you can give more to your loved ones.In my opinion, you'll never regret this purchase.

Perfect followup to Pearl Harbor and Doolittle Raid
Very few movies can capture the historical significance of a wartime battle and dramatize it in an interesting and efficient way. Midway does it all. This would be a perfect movie if not for the contrived love story. It deserved something much more insightful and comprehensive. The battle scenes are top notch, the fair and honorable treatment of the Japanese story, although somewhat stiff and typical, is still refreshing. The vital part that the counter intelligence office played is well represented. This is one movie that I can watch over and over again, as long as my family lets me. This was a most critical and pivotal battle is our nation's fight with Japan and our own struggle with isolationism. The amazing combination of strategy, calculated risk, determination, skill and just dumb luck that allowed the Navy to make this stand is portrayed with honesty. We owe these men our lives. We owe these movie makers our respect.

I love pot
Years ago I bought an oval pasta pot which became my favorite. When we moved cross country it got damaged in shipment but I used it anyway. Finally it was so banged up I had to look for another. I did a search & found this Analon. I really like it. It is heavy duty but light in weight. The only negative is that the handles are above the pot level which is a hindrance to poring boiling water out. This configuration makes the pot easier to store, but harder to drain. There are holes in the lid for drainage, but you need 3 hands to do so because there is no locking mechanism for the lid. Storage is not a problem for me because I use it so much that it is always on the cooktop so I would have preferred handles that stick out on the side. This pot is not just for pasta. I cook corn on the cob & asparagus with ease, but really it can be used for anything.

Don't bother
Unless you want to study Ms.MacMorgan's tradition. This is NOT about Wicca as a whole. It is ONLY about her Tradition. That does not make it a bad book. It just makes it a hidebound Tradition book.It's simple. You want to learn her way, buy the book. You don't? Don't buy the book.For me, it's a complete "don't bother". I find her writing style to be disjointed and rambling. Her information is circumspect. And I would be more interested in hearing about her research than her personal experiences.

Military Spouses
Not a realistic, too superficial as to being a military wife. The opening chapter starts out by her calling one of the wives letting them know she threw clothes out the window. WHAT! Because she was upset. Come on. If this happens in the officer side of the house, you need to step out and come over the enlisted house. You describe a deployment the end of the world for wives, we have no life, we are not so independent as we thought we should be. Get REAL. I'm a military wife of 17 years and I have seen good and bad, been overseas, seen marriages start and finished, seen everything. Each time, my husband step on the carrier, I say I love you and wave good-bye and move on for the next 6 to 9 months. I would like to read a book with real issues at hand, an eye opener about the being a married to military member, good or bad, but not fantasy.

A bad piece of machinery!!
First of all I would strongly encourage looking at a different mouse this this shameful piece of plastic. I paid near [price] for this mouse when it first came out expecting dazzling results. I got nothing--it stopped working after about 2 months of normal use. I couldn't believe it!! There was no way I, myself could fix it--there's no lint jamming it, and there is no ball to check and see if it's secure. The layout of the mouse was OK-I liked the additional buttons. It is specifically designed for a right handed user as you can see. I thought I needed a new mousepad. And I got one. It continued to be jumpy just before it died. I was cleaning out my desk and just through the sorry thing into the garbage. I returned to my normal ball mouse and am skeptical of ever buying an optical again-And if I do it won't be a Microsoft!!!

Sundayschool with gay tendencies?
This movie is one Big mistake. It's at least twice as long as it should be (You just spend ten minutes listening two the opening music, before anything happens. I first thought it was some sort of mistake. When the story finally gets started you just wish you were back with the music.) The sentimentalism and the corny-ness of the plot defie all imagination. It reminds me of the Christmas tales my teachers used two read for a bunch of five-year olads and even then I was bored out of my skull. To enliven it the hero-villain relationship borders n the homsexual, but even that goes precisely nowhere.In the whole movie there are only two parts that bear watching: The sea-battle and the chariot-race. For the rest, forget about it. There are a lot of actors, who try, but there just is no way to make this movie interesting. If they scale it down to 100 minutes that would be an improvement. It shouldn't be too difficult. After all, the rest isn't worth watching anyway.

What happened to Linda Howard?
I have been a fan of linda howard since i read Mr. Perfect 3 years ago. I have every book she has out and have never been disappointed, untill now. If you are a fan of Linda Howard and don't want to be disillusioned about her work, run when you see this book. The story was trit, boring and predictable. The characters were wooden and one dementional. I'm not trying to be mean but the herione is a sniveling idot with so many character flaws no one could like her. Though the hero was intriging, the herione make the story unbarable. And dear readers the other stories were not any better either. Anne Major's story had the most annoying, self-serving herione I have read about yet. Susan Mullery story, although seem to be the best story, I have lots of books with a similar story line. I have not finished reading this book, it will sit on my bookshelf forever a symbol of my disappointment in my favorite author.

Cat5 Cable at a Good Price
For the price, I have no complaints with this cable. I have definitely used higher quality cable in the past, but at a much higher price tag. The main difference in this cable and its more expensive counterparts is this cable has more of a likelihood to kink or tear while you are pulling it. As long as you are not a raw brute when pulling this cable, you won't have any problems with it. If it stops flowing out of the box, do NOT give it good yank. Just pop open the box and straighten it out. I may have needed to this 5 times when using the entire box. I would definitely purchase this product again. The nice thing about this cable is that it is very flexible making complicated runs very neat and tidy. I will be using this cable for a home audio system using Russound audio products. I can't wait to get it all done!

Smelt this at the local store and.....
I was not impressed. While not as bad as say the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, it is not great. I did not feel it was worth the price tag. I am glad that I got to smell this line before buying it.I wanted to love this line so badly. Nice price point with wonderful foody scents. The quality of the scent is just not there. If you are used to other smaller companies you may not be happy with this product. If you are used to other mass market companies you will be ok. I buy more often from small etailers who hand make their soap. A much pricier product over all.I do think this would make a fun gift for your teen or pre-teen who just loves smelling like cake. It is a nice upgraded product for someone used to the mall bath stores or lesser products. It is just not for the scenty soap addicted person thinks this soap is a cheap price point perhaps.

PC to HDTV. Works.
I got the cable in the mail. I plugged my computer(DVI) into the HDTV(HDMI). It works. Good picture, no problems. Watching youtube with family. Good times :).I've seen some complaints that this cable does not transfer audio. I just want to mention that although HDMI can handle audio and video, DVI only transfers video. So think of this like a pure video cable. Its just how DVI works. Be sure to find an audio solution that fits your setup, and you are good to go. For me, I just needed a simple cable.RiteAV - 3.5mm to Stereo RCA Male Cable - 6 ft.Just be sure what your setup needs!

OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!
I loved it so much, in fact, that i checked out the other 2 at my local library, and have BFF on my wish list! Though I guess I should have toned saying how great it is in school, though. The girl who sits in front of me in English stole it. :P Oh well. I'll get it back. Anyway, I loved it because it was all in instant message form, so it was an easy read compared to what I was reading before. *Imagines 50 pound book*. *Shudders*. I loved how funny and realistic it was, and I would recommend it to anyone. Well, anyone 6th grade and up. I think my school has banned it. Ha, what now?! Lauren Myracle is a, well, miracle worker!

Josh Groban's Freaky at the Greek
Josh Groban trying to be a "rock on dude" just doesn't seem right does it? Doin the Elvis thang wearing (he announces it) leather pants??? Uh, what's that?? Okay. Diversions. You're not supposed to hear his vocal problems and you're not supposed to pay attention to them because after all, he's Josh Groban wearing leather pants, beating the drums, joshing around with the audience. Did I say that?? Real freaky, dude. Of course sooner or later you can't help but notice that he really isn't singing very well. If he did, Groban could do the macarena, dressed in a bunny suit and I wouldn't notice. I would be paying too much attention to that wonderful voice and letting it carry me away.

Hillarious!
Especially to the younger crowd, this is a game that will apeal to them. Why? Because the adult situations, extreme and rediculous violence, and suggestive themes (such as the terrorist ordeal and the un-patriotic American signs) will make children everywhere laugh histarically. I do happen to agree with most people here. This is a low-budget game but with some great graphics and very funny parts. The reason this gets a 4 stars instead of five is because the game is INDEED short. I finished the game within days. But the thing is that this game hasn't gotten BORING for me. Walking on the streets and lighting them on fire with a gas tank never really gets BORING. If you found games of Grand Theft Auto tedious, this may not be a game for you. But if you enjoy the free gameplay of this game, this could be a looker for ya! Maybe you should check out the demo, which is on Postal 2's main site.

Meek's Cutoff - Total Ripoff!
Saw this online and I purchased on Friday. What a lousy show! Right from the start you could hardly hear the people talking and had to put on the closed captions for hearing impaired.There was totally no life to this film. Boring, boring, boring!!!My husband just got up and left the room and refused to watch it! I watched it to the end and felt I had just "wasted my time". To top it all off, it ended leaving you right in the middle of something????? They watched the Indian walking away from them and they still were not to where they should be?????Talk about a rotten movie - this is it!!!! I'm so disgusted, I'll probably burn the thing!My advice - DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE!!!

Definitely Different
Staind is my favorite band, even though I just recently (as of the summer) got really into them. I LOVE 14 Shades of Gray, and Chapter V is amazing too. So when I got Dysfunction, I was totally amazed. It is much more hardcore than the two most recent albums. Of course, Aaron Lewis makes all the songs have meaning and emotion with his unique voice, which is what I think sets them apart from all the other bands out there. My favorite song was by far the hidden track, which is a ballad. It is depressing but beautiful. People who fell in love with their newer stuff might find this album to be too much screaming (yes, screaming). Actually, most of the songs on this album remind me of Infest (Papa Roach). Anyone who likes Staind will like this album, but you have to have an appreciation for different variations of rock. Just wanted to put out a warning to fans like me who had no idea Aaron Lewis could actually scream and make it sound musical.

Best deal After Much Research!
I've waited a while and searched for the best deal on DVD players and this is it. I don't pay attention to name titles and have found that this DVD does it all. It plays DVD's, VCD's (nice and rare), CD's, CD-R's (nice), DC-RW's (nicer) and MP3's! Dolby Pro Logic is common in most players, but this one is Digitial and DTS/PCM ready. This is significant if you are going to expand your reciever and system in general. The sound from DTS is great, especially for "live" recordings. All the basic other features like slow-mo, fast-forward and stills are here. Also has multi-angles and captions and parental locking for those with kids. It is even compatible with PAL (if Region 1). Search no further! Buy before it's too late!

So much to live for review
I like this book because its about a girl who got Leukemia when she was my age. The girl in the books name is Dawn. She is a very special person because shes nice to almost everyone. One thing i liked about the book was the friendships. Dawn met a girl named Marlee who is about 13 yrs. old at Cancer Camp when Dawn was a counsler. Marlee was really mean to Dawn because she felt sorry for herself. Dawn had a very good heart though, when Marlee got sick and was in the hospital Dawn would visit her every day. Marlee and Dawn became very close to each other. Thats another thing about the book, its very sad because Dawn had friends who didnt have Cancer, and they didnt understand her and when she would get really close to someone who did have Cancer and understood her, they would always get sick and die. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the other books before this one.

One of the most un-science fictional books I've ever read.
That includes non-sf by Hawthorne, London, Voltaire, & Dante. I decided to read it because I liked "The Lincoln Train" , a story that originally appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science fiction, a great deal. However it didn't even readd like a novel since the different threads of the story only tenuously connected. Strangely, though I can talk longer about what I liked then what I didn't like. The part about the Martian goat farmer I loved. That's partly because it had the only likeable heterosexual male I can remember. I also loved the insights into Chinese culture. Even the parts in Canada were interesting. The book is quite real yet somehow ,for me, the book is less then the some of its parts. I can't say why it struck me that way, but it did. However if you like gay or feminist fiction I think you'll like it. I give it a 5 out of 10 actually.

Buyer Beware! Built-in Automatic Self-Destruct?
This unit looks like the "successor" to my just dead CX4600. BUYER BEWARE! From Feb 2005 to just yesterday, my CX4600 worked well. It was never heavily used (yes, a couple times a week) nor was it left sitting on the desk doing nothing, yet after I changed a couple of ink cartridges this weekend, the top panel lit up like a Christmas tree with the flashing 'E' and all the lights blinking like crazy.Epson's handy-dandy troubleshooting site confirmed the worst and advised that I call tech support. Except my son needed a printer for a project due on Monday. I went to Best Buy and got a Canon instead. Adios, Epson. Add this review to the pile of negative views.Sure it went thru ink at a generous clip but most inkjets do imho. My concern is with the longevity of said product. Less than 4 years on an all-in-one that was not heavily used and well maintained? C'mon Epson. Canon's got my business now.

Sweet Irish Fairy Tale
This story is structured very much like an Irish fairy tale. It is about three girls who are best friends since early childhood. All but one live in poverty. They grow up and go to college in Dublin. Two of the girls fall in love; the third wants to marry for money. Bennie, the girl who lives in relative comfort, falls in love first with a boy named Jack. Her parents, however, want to set her up with a sleazy man who works for them in her father's shop. Eve is being brought up by nuns in a very strict environment. The third friend lives in dire poverty with an alcoholic father. It is she that wants to marry for money.The movie is sweet and poignant, with the inevitable ups and downs of girls in love, betrayals by each other and by men. The photography is beautiful and made me want to return to Ireland again.I recommend this movie for an easy viewing pick. Get some popcorn, set yourself down and have an enjoyable two hours.

Journey has ARRIVED!!!
If you want to see the way that rock and roll was really meant to be played, you have to watch the Journey DVD, Arrival 2001! This DVD captures the excitement you feel at Journey's live concerts beautifully. Steve Augeri was born to be in this band! His vocals were amazing! Neals Schon's guitar was electric, his fingers hit each note with such passion and precision, it is as if his guitar was on fire! Jonathan Cain really rocks out on the keyboard like nothing I've ever seen! Ross Valory plays the bass guitar better than anybody out there! Deen Castronovo is an amimal - a maniac on the drums! Put them all together and you have something explosive! They definately Rock!!! I would recommend this DVD for anyone who appreciates rock music! Or just anyone with ears- because, this DVD is the best!

So easy! It works!
I'm 46 years old, overweight and tired of it. I went to my doctor for a routine visit and I brought up that I'm tired of being overweight and knew that I need to do something about it. He asked me if I ready to make a change and I said yes. He told me to buy this book, follow the steps and watch the weight fall off. I did and he's right!!! The first two weeks I was totally faithful to the 6 week plan and lost 12 pounds. When you see results daily it makes a huge difference. The secret? Go to Costco, buy a big tub of fresh spinanch, top with veggies AND fruit of your choice. For the dressing I use balasmic vingear, no oil...tastes great. Breakfast is oatmeal and fruit. I love to eat and this diet works for me!!! Good luck

Really Buggy
Extremely buggy game! After waiting almost 8 months for it to be released, I was incredibly disappointed in the game play. I really is no better than the last Links game, and I couldn't even turn on the gallery because I didn't have sufficient RAM! (I have a 550 G4 powerbook with 512 MB RAM, running OS X) I really is too bad that stuff like this is release after all the hype. It sort of makes Mac users look bad.After creating a Tour name, I now can't even play it, because it kept crashing on me after shot. Now it crashes when I resume the tournament. So, I created a new tournament, played about two holes, and it starting its crashing again. Very disappointing. I thought it may have been something I did, but after reading the rest of the reviews . . . . .

definetely not rancid
i thought this might sound a bit like rancid seeing as how tim armstrong is playing guitar and singing. It is NOTHING like rancid, and that would usually be a bad thing, but in this case it isn't. Tim's guitar is pretty similar to Rancid, but when he sings, it's totally different. I really like diamonds and guns. When I first heard it, I loved it, and I still do. Everyone who's anyone knows it now too, which is good because I don't meet blank looks when I mention it. There are only 2 problems - 1) the rap. I don't like rap. That's all. 2) Diamonds and guns is suddenly the theme tune for some shampoo or something as I noticed when the adverts were on on p-rock (a music channel by the way - they probably don't have it in America). This is a bad thing as it means that it is possible that all the peoiple who are noboby (pop-tarts) will soon know it and it will be number one, and I will feel so cheated.

The crack cocaine of gaming
All of the criticisms are true. And yet, and yet... It's 2:30am, and you have to be at work tomorrow, and your rational mind knows that the lack of sleep will catch up with you in REALLY UGLY WAYS, and yet you STILL have to take "just one more turn". And the Germans are down to one last city, and either you (the French) or the Greeks are going to capture it, and you watch as the Greek AI botches the attack. OK, can you get enough mechanised infantry units in place? If that road were a railroad, yes. OK, can you scrounge up any workers that your own AI hasn't already moved? Yes, sleeping in that city over there. Build the railroad, move in the tanks and infantry, and nail the Germans with one unit move to spare. Damn, it's 2:55am. Maybe coffee will help.

Very disappointed
I bought this DVD after reading all of its positive reviews. It states it has modified levels for beginner, intermediate, and advanced. However, the camera is focused on the advanced method at least 75% of the time. This is really irritating especially at the beginning of an exercise when you are trying to get your form right and have to wait until the camera scans to one of the other techniques. By then you've missed several reps and have to scan the DVD back. It would be a much better DVD if it had a separate video for each of the techniques. A beginner cannot get nearly as many reps in on an exercise as the video is paced too quickly. Each exercise goes right into multiple movements instead of slowly adding each one in. If you've been doing pilates or another program for a very long time, this may be for you. Not novice friendly. Go with a different DVD to get the basics down and then try this one maybe.

Radiohead's 2nd best album to date...
This is a great comeback for Radiohead. Not that Kid A and Amnesiac were not great, but I think most fans have been waiting for more of the guitars and style that made OK Computer great. Hail to the Thief combines the experimentation of Kid A & Amnesiac with the listenability and structure of The Bends and OK Computer. I don't believe this is a love-it-at-first-listen album. It took me 5 listens before I "got it". That is how the best albums usually are. Every style of Radiohead (to this point!) is represented here. Every track is good in it's own way- there are no garbage songs. It's hard to pick highlights, but "2+2=5", "Sail to the Moon", "Where I end and you Begin", and "Myxomatosis" are the very best. Enjoy, and see them live if you can!

Great movie, more extras please
Wow!! This is a magic movie. I am a Star Wars junkie, but this movie rocks!!! It is better than Jedi and that abomination called the Phantom Menace. The acting performances are top notch, and it is a wonder that Michelle Yeoh and Zhi Ziyang did not get Oscar nominations. It just shows that Hollywood still doesn't appreciate fine acting, and chooses to nominate hacks like Julia Roberts.Anyway, the DVD could use some more extras on it. There is a nice interview with Yeoh and a good single overview of the making of the film, but I would have liked to have seen more about how the story was conceived, other than what we learn in the overview. I did enjoy the part about the music of the film. It was very interesting.All in all, I highly recommend this DVD.

The worst song I have ever heard
My humps? are you kidding me? I have never heard a song I have hated more. And I was surprised to find that this song was made by the Black Eyed Peas. I thought they were better then that. But they have made the worst song of all time. Everytime it comes on the radio I quickly change the channel as fast as I can. But I guess you have to give them credit for actually getting it played on the radio as many times as it did. I would of thought the first time was enough.I cant speak for the other songs on the CD. But if Humps is on it. I probably wouldnt buy it. I wouldnt want to encorage such a song.

Outdoors loving schnoodle is totally tick free!!
My schnoodle loves being outside and running in the grass. We live in a rural-ish area surrounded by lots of beach grass and farm land. Our tick season usually starts right after the last frost of the season and the first frost of the season. Obviously ticks are quite abundant. Top Spot works GREAT. I haven't found a single tick attached to my Gracie. There were a couple crawling on top after I first put it on her but none were really buried in. As a schoodle, Gracie has really thick curly hair close to her body and stringy schnauzer hair sticking out on top. The few ticks I pulled off her were right on the on top and she hadn't had her "summer cut" yet. Additionally, I haven't had any problems with fleas since using the Meriel Frontline Top Spot as I had with other products. If your dog does get "summer cuts" I recommend using the top spot about 2 days after this grooming for the best results based on my experience.

Horrible, horrible adaptation
I read all the black stallion books over and over growing up. I liked the movies okay. But this series is a travesty! I've watched six eps of the first series and have yet to see a race (and it's not as if it starts where the book did). They talk about racing; they seem to be on the fair circuit, which is a huge problem for me. The acting is horrible. They yell at each other all the time. Alec is unbelievable. Mickey Rooney makes William Shatner's Denny Crane look restrained. Every plot is like an after school special. This is not the black stallion and Alec Ramsey I grew up with and I'm not going to bother to finish this series because I'm so disappointed. Buyer beware.

The Best Book on Copyright Issues for schools
What an amazing book! Easy to use and indispensable if you are a school library media specialist. Hard to believe a book like this could be EXCITING, but it's always nice to know when you are right and others are not so well informed. Use this book for all the black, white and gray areas of copyright issues. Should you make a "back up" copy of an audio tape? Is it okay to use photos off the web on a personal web page? This book will help you be a legal eagle with copyright issues in your school. Do you really know what "Fair Use" means? What about the legality with video tapes and multiple copies of other resources in the library collection. This highly informative and easy to comprehend book is invaluable as you try to wrap your brain around the complicated and complex copyright issues with print, media and the web. If you are a Library Media Specialist, add it to your personal or professional library.

A Newbery failure
Okay, I don't get it, how the Newbery Committee comes up with its winners. This book is long, dull, and grinding. I'm angry about this selection. The writing is nice, but writing doesn't make a story. I can say that I read two to three books that should've won EVERYTHING, unlike this one. Most of all, The Willoughby Spit Wonder, by Jonathon Fuqua, is funny, sad, uplifting, and an absolutely great work that should be in every bookstore. Come on, isn't the Newbery supposed to find works for young adults, not adults? They need to do their work and find books that excite us. Kira-Kira doesn't. So, go out and find your own masterpieces. I've found mine and highly recommend it. You can no longer count of the Newbery Committee to come up with the books we want.

Double yuck.
I bought this with "Bloody Chicago" by the same author and am now thoroughly disgusted. The author's books lack any theory, any journalistic savvy, any insight. I felt like I was reading a high school paper that had been lifted from the internet. After half the book, I gave up. A friend had taken me on the author's tour in Decatur (in central Illinois--decidedly not Chicago, though charming in a different way and in its own right). The tour was not led by him but another guide, and it was fascinating. Unlike this book. Perhaps the author's book on Decatur is better, as our guide on the tour told us Taylor grew up there. I won't be finding out, though! Again, try Ursula Bielski's "Chicago Haunts" series for everything anyone will ever need to know about haunted Chicago. I'm off ghost books for awhile!

GREAT COVER, LAME CONTENT
Impressive cover. Too bad that's it. The biggest dissapointment is there are only 10 signs TOTAL. Another bummer is that a child presents them and I can't tell what she is doing in about half the signs! Plus, it looks like a bad attempt at copying the puppetry and skits of the Baby Einstein series. Even the puppet is the same maker. I bet Disney's lawyers would eat this up!Do NOT be taken in by a pretty cover and calculated reviews! It cerntainly won't teach signing, but will teach my sons to pour objects over their heads and(or someone else's), just like every puppet skit in it. NOT a behavior I'd like to reinforce! It's low-budget, home-camera quality with a song that's so high-pitched I found myself clenching my teeth, certianly doesn't help. Spend your money elsewhere, I'm sorry I didn't.

Scouts vs. Senshi
Wow! I have almost always been a huge fan of Sailor Moon, but there was that iffy time when it came out. I was into Power Rangers and Barney. ^_^;; I was five! Anyway, in the dub, Luna sounds around 50, but in this version, she sounds eighteen. Moon Revenge, the fight and end song, is FANTASTIC, and Moonlight Densutsu is extremely awesome. I loved the comedy in it, and the heart. Firoe is *ahem* somewhat blatant with his feelings towards Mamoru (This is not for little kids, mind you.), and he annoyed me immensely. ^_^ Ah, young love. I've barely taken it out of my VCR. It's a good buy, and so are the other movies. Usagi, Mamoru, Makoto, Rei, Ami, ChibiUsa, Artimus, and Luna: The majority of the Senshi, and the sum of the "R" season. Watch this, and appreciate the art in this movie. Especially the end. BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for your time.

Doesn't work
First, let me just say that this item is a good idea. However, this particular product should be avoided at all costs. I received it as a gift.... Put batteries in it, and noticed that it would try to squirt at random times. The instructions, which are very minimalist, say not to put it near bright lights or a window. I tried it in several different places in both my bathroom and my kitchen and it would attempt to dispense randomly on its own. Not a good sign.My husband suggested I try loading it with soap anyway to see if it would make a difference. So I did. The dispenser won't dispense anything. Referred to the instructions again which suggested that the liquid loaded in it might be too thick and to try diluting it. So I did. It still won't dispense anything. The little motor goes but nothing comes out....even after trying to get it to dispense for about 5 minutes.I'm going to empty it and it's going to be returned. Save yourself the frustration and don't buy this product.

HEHE My daughters love this toy BUT I bought this one for me!
I watch the show with my kids all the time. I love enjoying something with them. When I go out to toy stores I keep my eye open for Winx dolls. Because you can only really be sure to find them online. Well I found this at Toys-R-Us and there was just one... so I bought it for me. I let the kids play with her as long as they are good to her and they love it. I bought them a Flora Singsational and a Stella Singsational because this is a great toy. The doll doesn't sing, but the stand does... so you can take her off and no noise. And when the stand does sing it's not loud. Great toy! Now I just have got to get the rest of the Winx for the kids!

Great suction. No real complaints.
I bought this vacuum last week. The suction is great. I don't mind emptying the canister often because I know that means it is doing it's job. The canister isn't small in comparison to other vacs, this one just sucks more up. Also, one of the major complaints I keep seeing from others is the weight. Weight is one of the few things you know for sure about a vacuum before you buy it. If someone wants a lightweight vacuum, they shouldn't have bought this one. I don't mind the weight, I look at it as getting a little extra excersice, which I can certainly use. My only problem so far is that my kids keep taking the duster and want to sword fight with it, but I can't blame Eureka for that. Also, I have 2 dogs and am impressed with the way it cleans up pet hair. I'm going to try it on my car seats next!

Nice unit
After reading reviews both here and other places, we decided to try this player. It is sleek with a very nice appearance. Yes the remote is cheesey. But so far that is the only fault we have. The set up was easy. The picture is great. My wife was impressed with the sound. It plays her CDs and MP3s great (she's the music expert in the family - I'm tone deaf). We especially like the option of wide screen or regular screen. The direction book could have been a little clearer but it was understandable. For the price, this is a great unit. If you are looking for your first DVD player or just want to see what the hoopaloo is all about, we would definitely recommend this unit.

Take me back to a simpler time!
This c.d. will take you back to a time when music helped you escape the horrific scene of the day and paint a new one with the help of Simon and Garfunkel. I had forgotten how beautiful their music was and the haromonies are excellent. I kept thinking how I wanted more and more and more. This c.d. does a great job fulfilling this need as it has 20 tracks of the best of this duos music. Where were you when you heard "Mrs. Robinson" the first time? Or how about the wonderful "The Sound of Silence" with "Scarborough Fair" to follow. I can not say enough about this c.d. that has been Digitally Remastered, with liner notes by "David Halberstam" and 20 tracks of the best.After listening to this c.d. over and over again I am ready to get out my "James Taylor" and earlier "Carly Simon" as the music from this time period was classic. Thanks Columbia for putting together a great work of art by two very talented guys who should never have split up.

Love it...but stopped working after 4 1/2 months!
Researched alot of radios for my husband as a Christmas present (12/2011) that we could put outside on our back screened in room. It is totally undercover at all times. My husband loves to listen to it when he is working in the yard - so we crank it up and it sounds great. However, this past weekend we took it to the beach and used the batteries. When we got home and plugged it in it would not come on - no reason whatsoever. I am returning it and hopefully they will replace it with another one. Stay tuned as I will update this review. It should last longer than 4 1/2 months especially since it has been well taken care of.UPDATE: Had to call Sony for instructions since the Amazon return policy is only 90 days. Product has a year warranty, but only 90 days on labor. So, for $29 I can return the item to get a refurbished one, which is what I will do. The year warranty is for parts only! So I will have invested approx. $150 on this radio thusfar.

Troublesome....then self-destructs
I had a Dell Axim which I sold on eBay to get the 4700. The Axim was well done and it simply worked. The 4700 has been too troublesome to use regularly. The WiFi software gets moody, PDF files don't always display (has no converter like the Axim does), the backup battery discharges in a couple of days even with the unit off, and doesn't have enough memory for some applications. I've had it about a year, and now it won't boot...just out of warranty. It just comes up with a white screen. I've tried everything, including firmware update using the boot loader. HP Tech support was no help. After paying about $600 for this thing which I haven't used much, now I need to spend a few hundred bucks on repair. It has a great screen though!?! I think I'll take the screen out and sell it on eBay.

The most original RPG out there...
This is the most original game that has come out since...since...uhhh...Chrono Trigger? The battle system is great. I like the combo deal, and the graphics are nice. They include paralaxxing, side scrolling, and NICE pre-rendered backgrounds. The sprite-based character models are animated very nicely, and they have loads of detail. The music is very nice! (It is one of my favorite features). I like the whole idea of training warriors, then sending them up...very fascinating. I am also a fan of Norse mythology, so its all the more better. Nice story and nice character development, i mean, GREAT character development. Dungeons are very fun. I know this review didnt make much sense, but oh well.

Lifeless... listless... unengaging... boring.
Okay, so here we have Commissioner Gordon: Year One... errr, I mean Batman: Year One.It saddens me to say, but this is not very good. I'm sure most people are familiar with original comic. All the best elements of the story have already been appropriated into two VASTLY superior movies:Batman - Mask of the PhantasmandBatman Begins [Blu-ray]The horrible, wooden actor from The O.C. is a horrible, wooden Bruce Wayne/Batman here. This whole movie is pretty lifeless. Batman is a barely a subplot and side character here. This is Lt. Gordon's movie. Really... Mask of the Phantasm is so much better than this. You actually care about the characters in that movie, and they are fully drawn out. For all you fans of the comic who don't listen to reviews and must be disappointed for yourself, at least save yourself some cash and rent this instead of buying it.

Better then I expected.
I have not enjoyed Episode one or Phantom menece very much. I hated the over kill of the CGI being used.However this one has some ok CGI work in it. The CGI didnt make me wanna puke in this one. Only a few times did I see something that I thought looked really un-realistic and crap.The movie starts off with action right away. And the action continues on for about 15 minutes. It is interesting, exciting and looks good. Even the ideas in the charactors I thought where a good go.To be honest, I can't remmber much of the middle of the film. I'll have to see it again to remember it.I did get a bit nitpicky about a few things. But this is a review, not a spoiler so i'll keep them to myself.The movie was alot better then I expected. Most of it ties in well and completes the 2 trilogys of the saga. I think i do like it better then the first 2 star wars, but they don't hold torches to the original trilogys.

Ok, ok, so I am a bit old to be reading such books. . .But I thought it would be interesting to look back at some of the books I used to read back in the day. To my surprise, I found this book! Say Cheese and Die! is one of my favorite scary books of all time. Initially, I had read this book because I loved the picture! Still do. . .Anyways, It is about a boy named Greg who obtains a camera, though kind of an old camera, and takes pictures with it! (obviously!) But it appears the camera is broke. It doesn't show everybody in the picture! What's up with that? Greg soon unveils a haunting revelation which may put his own life in harms way! How can he convince others that this camera is more than just broken--it's EVIL!?This is a fun book to read and I would recommend it to all middle schoolers! Of course, if you really enjoy a good horror, by all means read it regardless of age! Well, I did, anyways. ;)

Steve Irwin doll
My son got this in the mail today, and loved it. It plays out two scenes with Steve's actual voice. Also came with a crocodile, so you can play out scenes like Steve used to. Has at least 9 sayings, and holds a total conversation will talking about what to do. Very durable, and looks like Steve too. Very nice alternative to child play. Hear Steve say his famous sayings, like "Crikey", and "isn't she a beauty?" and "Ripper", Steve will be played with for a long time. Now my son wants a Terri Doll to complete the set. In the fall, there's soon to be Bindi toys out too! That's what the advertisement said in the box Steve came in anyway. Doll is approximately 9" tall, croc is made of plastic.

Boring
This film was on TV a few years ago and I tried to watch it. One of the first red flags was Martin Sheen playing General Robert E. Lee. Egads! What an insult to General Robert E. Lee! Robert Duvall was a much more believable Robert E. Lee in "Gods and Generals." And did you know that Robert Duvall is a descendant of General Lee? Yes. Click on the trivia facts link on the "Gods and Generals" page here at Amazon. Duvall even kind of looked like Lee, which I cannot say for Sheen.I have seen some negative reviews of "Gods and Generals" saying it was too much dialogue and not enough battle. Thats interesting, since I thought "Gettysburg" was too much talk, and just plain boring. And sorry to repeat myself but Martin Sheen playing Robert E. Lee puts this movie in the toilet for me.

Vanessa Hudgens: V
Most people would know Vanessa from the Disney Channel movie High School Musical. Well, now after singing in the movie, she has put out her debut album known as V.These, to me, are the best songs on the album:Come Back to MeLet GoAfraidWhatever will BeLose Your LoveBut, I do have some complaints. In Let Go, Vanessa cusses. It isn't the worse cuss word ever, but it's still cussing and I don't like how she uses it.I do not like Let's Dance. The song writing is horrible, and Vanessa's voice is computerized. Also, at the begining when she sings "Daaaance!" she sounds like a girl Tarzan.Psychic is very slow and dumb. "My friends tell me maybe I should seek a psychic, they tell be just beware I may or may not like it," that line is so cheesey. I think the album can stand without this song.I'd give it four stars because of Psychic, Let's Dance, and the cuss word. Still, this is worth your money. You'll love it!

Best Concert EVER!!
First off...I got to see Paul Stanley live on his Live To Win Tour in 2006 in Baltimore & I honestly have to say that show was THE BEST concert I have ever been lucky enough to attend.Now on to the DVD, One Live Kiss. I got to see the first full screening of Paul's DVD at the Dayton,OH Kiss Expo on Saturday, Oct. 11th. This DVD is SO worth the wait. Watching this transported me right back to Baltimore, Oct. 26, 2006. This DVD allows the watcher to experience the phenomenon that is Paul Stanley in the ultimate surroundings. Lou Antonelli captured perfectly that up-close & personal, intimate feeling that Paul's shows all had. This movie puts you right there front & center. It makes you forget, at times, that this is a movie & not live. You catch yourself wanting to clap & jump up & down just like at the real show.Lou Antonelli & Paul Stanley have outdone themselves. They have put together an amazing show. This DVD is definitely the next best thing to actually being there live.

Not worth the money
I've had the ibook for a little less than 5 months, and it has been alright. Until recently, my most pressing problem was that Netscape would crash the computer at least once a day, but that was managable. Unfortunately, 2 days ago it stopped working completely. While the gentleman on the Apple Support line was very friendly, in order for the warranty to kick in for any repairs we had to take it to an authorized Apple dealer in order to diagnose the problem before anything else could be done. That took a day and a half. Of course the Authorized Apple dealer can't make the repairs, and it has to be shipped to Apple itself to be looked at further. I could get the computer back a week from now, or it could be two months from now. Who knows? This is just been a very disappointing experience for me. I'm not familiar with other notebook brands to steer people to, but I can tell you to not waste your time and money with the ibook. It's not worth it!

What it was said to be
I don't give very many 5 star ratings. This is a hard rating for me. The spine is separated from the cover-as described. The book is intact and in readable condition-as described. It is well worn, beat up, and old. The seller described it as such. It took a while to decide whether it added to, or detracted from, my collection. It is what it is. An old beat up book. I still dont Know if I love it or not-but it is as described. Even the spine separation was in the seller's description. If you buy from this seller expect what they describe. This book does add character to my collection, as I'd hoped. If "new" means "nice" to you-it's not a "nice" book. It is unique, which is "nice" to me.

Not Really a great headset
It's a great deal, so i jumped on it. But was truly disappointed. I've so far summed up Motorola products as well really really poor. I own a Razar, wish i could return that! But this headset, thinking it's from motorola would work well with my phone, but no. It's on my belt clip, and the phone tell me that the bluetooth headset is 30 ft away, signal is weak, and then disconnets. To me that's strange. It's also surprising that this happens randomly, so it's kinda annoying, b/c you can't anticipate it. Kinda annoying when driving, b/c you rely on the headset to work properly. Also get the static noise which is weird, b/c it shouldn't do that. especially when driving.

contains incorrect info that could be harmful
First off, the main author of this book is a gynecologist, not a pediatrician. Secondly, some of the information in this book is completely against what the American Academy of Pediatrics says. The worst issue I found was in regards to caring for an uncircumcised newborn. This book says in Week 1 to pull back the foreskin and clean under it at every diaper change. DO NOT DO THIS! The foreskin is still fused to the head for several years. Pulling it back before it naturally retracts can cause extreme pain, damage, and possibly lead to infection and problems down the road. The American Academy of Pediatrics even states to NEVER forcefully retract the foreskin. This book also states that you can microwave bottles, which every bottle manufacturer and formula company warns can be dangerous. I don't trust any information in this book and an horrified by the misinformation. I would NOT recommend this to a friend, or even to an enemy.

Words fail me...
This movie is breathtaking. I've never seen anything so abysmal in my life. I'm gobsmacked. Read the other reviews of this...thing. They're not exaggerated. I feel like I've somehow been violated. I'll tell you I didn't watch the whole thing - I couldn't - about every ten minutes I'd feel a psychotic episode crawl slowly from the depths of my subconscious like some mutant octopus reaching for my ill-fated ship of reason and I would change the channel, craving commercials until the psychosis passed. When I was stable and no longer a threat to myself or others, I would brave another ten minutes of this thing, only to have to surface once more. What can I say of this experience? Only this: I have a kind of sublime reassurance now, a serenity not unlike that described by others who have had near-death experiences. I know that the most traumatic moment of my life is behind me, and I am stronger for it.

What a Great Book!
A Walk Across America was a wonderful book. The book was full of adventure. Peter Jenkins, the author, hikes from New York to Louisiana with his trusty dog, Cooper. This book allows the reader to take a wild journey. Peter discovers what it is like to be truly hungry, to travel in the mountains, to live in very different cultures, to make new friends, and to learn about religions. This book contains interesting photographs that bring the stories to life. One thing amazing about this book is that it is a true story. Peter Jenkins actually "walked across America." After reading this book I felt energized. Knowing I can go anywhere and do anything if I put my mind to it. I would recommend this book to others. You won't be able to put it down.

"La première fois ... on donne le meilleur de soi-mme ...
France Gall and her husband Michel Berger gave "the best of themselves" in these beautiful songs. France was the gifted daughter of Robert Gall, a famous song-writer. Her grand-mother, when she died, gave her "title" to one of the most popular french song by Charles Aznavour: "La Mamma". Her boy friends were talented french singers. Her first song writer was Serge Gainsbourg. She even recorded a CD with Sir Elton John. What such a gifted handsome young girl could get and bring more? Well, she inspired and gave to us this CD songs. After her husband and their daughter's death, France became less active in the show business. She will remain a "star" whose songs are becoming classical french love songs. All of them are so pure and delicate that you can offer such recordings even to very young girls.

Total Trash
This movie is the worst piece of trash I have ever seen. It tells almost nothing about Kurt, and bags on Courtney the whole time. The interviewer has to be the dumbest guy on the planet. He interviewed almost no one who actually knew Kurt, and when he did they were junkies. God knows what their motivations were (being in a movie? money?), or if they even knew Kurt at all. Courtney's father is in the film, and he is horrifying -- accuses of her murder and is obviously a loser riding on her fame. It made me love Courtney, feel bad for her, and miss Cobain. I am sick of everyone doing a Yoko Ono on her. Kurt obviously loved her, and the other pathetic people in this movie are plainly jealous. I would write more, but I have already wasted enough of my life on this awful, tasteless garbage.

The more you watch it, the more you get.
Back in 80's, I watched this movie with my friends about 100 times.(This was done in one summer...yes...we're a little odd). I agree with the rest of the reviewers how great the movie is. Let me introduce a different aspect. The more you watch the movie, the more you find to laugh about. Aside from the obvious labeling of beverages as "drinks" when the character refers to them as "drinks" and changes to "beer" when referred to as "beer", there are hundreds of treasures to find. After about the 50th viewing, we noticed the railroad crossing that did not have any train tracks. The TV in the parent's house is very entertaining as well. hahaha Enjoy the show!"Let's go get sushi... and not pay" - DukeP.S. Plate of Shrimp.

Make this available again!
What a terrific movie this is. Sweet, sad, funny, a real treasure. I saw this at school in a class taught by Robert Coover's son. Had to wonder if there were parallels between my teacher's relationship with his father and the famous-writer father & son in this film. Haven't seen it since and I would sure love to. I liked it ten times better than Hiroshima Mon Amour or Last Year In Marienbad. Some of the lines are really hilarious, like here is this old fart up at night remembering his wife who committed suicide years before and all he can say is, "Ah, Molly, Molly, your breasts were a biological triumph!" Great stuff. I've taken off one star because occasionally the dialogue becomes stilted & self-referential, unreal basically and plain annoying. The story itself ends very nicely and the entire cast is just about perfect. Please bring this ignored treat back to us.

Nothing good about this album except Wes
When this album came out when I was in the 8th grade. Everyone told me that this was a cool album and that I should hear it. My cousin gave me his cd for free. That already says that the album wasn't that good if he gave it to me for free. When I heard it I didn't see what the big deal was with this. All it is is Fred Durst trying to rap. Wes does play some heavy riffs though. The opening song I thought this was going to be something heavy but all fred is doing is talking smack about Trent Reznor from NIN. Fred Durst can't rap. No wonder why Eminem dissed him. Any one who thinks that Fred is a cool raper must have something wrong with them. Any way this album isn't worth buying. Thank God I didn't.

Best smoker/grill/bbq for the price.
I have had this smoker for about 8 years. It is amazing as far as the results you get from it. I have done almost everything you can with it. Smoked salmon, bacon, pulled pork, brisket... all flawless as long as you watch your work. I read that it is "thin"... I don't see this. I have moved a few times since I got it and need help every time. It is HEAVY. I have refinished it twice and it looks new again. I don't particularly like the bamboo shelves it comes with, but a few years later I replaced them with maple. Even at the current price I would say it is a high value product. If I had to, I would definitely buy it again.

Great bottles!
These bottles have been wonderful for us. My son was colicky, and I was using the avent bottles. His burp cloth would be soaked by the time he was finished. When we switched, you immediatly heard the differents. The only disadvantage I could say about these bottles would be to clean them. They have several parts to them. He recently turned 6 months, and was ready for a bigger size bottle. I switched back to avent bottles, for convenience for one whole day. I got the same results as before. I have a small microwave, that the tall Dr. Brown bottles wouldn't fit in. I ended up buying the short Dr. Brown bottles, that are made like the avent. They have been as great as the small ones. I will never switch again!!!!! I would recommend these bottles to anyone, they really work in reducing air intake, and they aren't as messy either.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
This is definately one of the best books in the Chronicles of Narnia series. When you read the book, you become caught up in the adventures, of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. The book is a fantasy, and can be read by itself,like all the other books in the series. The story tells how four kids get transported into another world, Narnia, through a wardrobe, and have to fight an evil witch. The book is slightly complicated, but C.S. Lewis writes it so well that you have no trouble understanding.Other Chronicles of Narnia:1.) The Magicigian's Nephew2.) Prince Caspian3.) The Voyage of the Dawn Treador4.) The Silver Chair5.) The Last Battle6.) The Horse and His Boy

You can't simply read the book, you have to use this workbook.
I read the book and loved it. When I bought the work book, my first thought was that this was just some kind of book '0 forms. Much like what you would find in a stationary store or at an office supply store. But I was wrong. This book is really two books. The work book is designed to be cut into two different books. One is a record book that enables you to track your entire job hunting campaign. The other book, and in my opinion, the most important, enables you to create an absolutely magnificant resume. If you loved the book, then this work book is an absolute must.However, I must caution you that the workbook is, indeed, a lot of work. And so to really use the book, you must use the workbook.

great movie, TERRIBLE blu-ray
Great movie. Horrible, horrible blu-ray. Maybe the worst blu-ray disc I've seen. Do not buy, wait for a recall. It's so blatantly awful even non-cinephiles will notice.Here's the main problem: most all the film grain and fine detail have been completely wiped out in a clumsy attempt to remove video noise. Which begs the question: so what's the point of owning it on blu-ray?What's worse is that it didn't have to be this way. But I guess this is what happens when an indifferent media conglomerate has complete control over a masterpiece. Check out Robert Harris's (the man who restored the film years ago) extremely negative review of this blu-ray on the web. I thought maybe he was overdoing it a bit, but no. It's even worse than he says. If you have the Criterion DVDSpartacus - Criterion Collection, just hang on to it for now.

Best Since Powerslave !!!!!!
I have been a Maiden fan for 20 years. Been through their ups and downs. Hated when Bruce Dickinson left and loved it when he came back. ( Blaze sucked anyway) I don't expect them to ever make another album like Number of The Beast or Powerslave but this comes pretty damn close. The guitars are heavy and Bruce Dickinson proves that he is in the top 3 voices ever to come out of England for metal.(Dio and Ozzy of course need consideraton) This band is one of the greatest ever and will live on for ever. They stay true to their fans and their music. As a long time follower, that is the mark of a true metal band. Up The Irons Boys !!!!!

NOT AS PICTURED and POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
I purchased the 6 inch String of Pearls plant which I note is no longer available as of this date (8/09/08). Now I am beginning to better understand what happened with my purchase. A smaller plant was put in a 6 inch pot, leaving at least an inch of space between the plant and the plastic container. No soil was added to secure the plant during shipping. It arrived with "strings of pearls" broken off. It only had a few strings to begin with, not as was pictured. Pictures were sent to Hirt Gardens showing this. I was told I was wrong. Hirt Gardens responded "the plant looked fine to me. just add some soil. the broken parts can be rooted if you like. just lay them on the soil." No exchange of plants was offered nor was responsibility for a poor product accepted. They have lost my future business. Guess a picture is no longer worth a thousand words!

Be careful the first time you use this product.
This stuff is delicious. That said, there are other considerations. I had this on Eggo waffles for breakfast. It was all I could hope it to be. Then two hours later my stomach began to growl and roll and I developed cramps. I spent the next six hours running to the bathroom. It is sweetened with maltitol, which causes extreme gastric distress for some people. Check it out on Google. I guess I'm one of them. I waited three days and tried it again for lunch, thinking maybe it just didn't like an empty stomach. Same results. So if you are going to be "out and about" do NOT try this for the first time. Wait until you are at home all day. If it is agreeable with your digestive tract, it's as good as any sugared table syrup. I ended tossing the second bottle I bought in the trash.Terry

remember when...
This was the best Judith McNaught book I've read!! I just loved the story and the characters. Although it lacked the passion and intensity that her other novels had, this one had a tenderness that the others lacked. I especially liked how *Remember When* began with Diana and Cole as teenagers with a slowly developing friendship, despite their differences in lifestyles. (For those who wonder when the two fell in love, maybe you should consider re-reading that first part.) I have to admit, Diana was a bit weak when compared with the heroines in McNaught's other novels, but paired with Cole, they were just perfect! This book wasn't passionate, but it was sweet. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Cole never tells Diana he loves her even once. Some of my favorite scenes were those during the White Orchid Ball when Cole comes to Diana's rescue. Chivalry really does still exist! :)

Crazy Head
I had to stop reading this book after a hundred pages due to his incessant referencing to "magical energy" that "creates" toxins in your body. Also, he rambles on and on. There are typos in the book. I don't think he even had it editied. He just rambled like a crazy person. The paragraphs are not divided by logical breaks. At one point he says "let's get to the specifics on such and such" and then proceeds to ramble on and on about the same old stuff.It's a shame he's crazy because some of his stuff makes some sense. However, the whole book is an advertisement to get you to go on his website which has a $10/mo or $400/life membership fee.Also, look at him. If he believed in the stuff he does, he wouldn't look like that. He wouldn't put on make up or wear deodorant or put gel or creams in his hair. Crazy guy.

MADE IN CHINA - SELLER TRIED TO CONCEAL THE FACT
I unwrapped 3 of the 6 dishes I bought. All of them have residue from stickers that were removed from the outside, before the dishes were packed and sent to me. In one case, half the sticker remains. The remaining half of the sticker says the dish was made in China. Nothing in the item description on Amazon says "made in China." The seller's attempt to conceal the fact makes me suspicious that the dishes may not be safe for food use. There may be lead or other toxins in the glaze, or some other problem. (Remember the poisonous Chinese drywall after Hurricane Katrina? If not, Google it.) I think the law requires that country of origin be marked on the dishes, in addition. I intend to send them back. Shame on Amazon for carrying this product while pretending to have no responsibility for it!

Two words: REAL BAD
This game has to be the WORST baseball game I've ever played. The players look nothing like the real ones, they have a very outdated roster and since you can't trade, except in season mode, so you can't update them. The computer cheats! If it's losing by a point, it will hit a 2 run homer so it can win. Here's another example: If the computer needs a run or needs to get on base it will hit a base hit, and even if its a weak one, your fielders thow very slowly and weakly to you. Stats don't matter in this game, it's the size of that doofy yellow circle that looms in the center of the strikezone. If it's small, the player ..., if it's big, the players good. Want another reason why stats don't matter? I've hit a homerun with John Smoltz and a Grand Slam with David Cone. The graphics ... and your very limited to your gameplay. Don't buy this game, you'll be tired of it in an instant!

DO NOT BUY THE ALL REGIONS IMPORT OF THIS MOVIE
I love this movie but I got scammed. I purchased the "All Regions" Import Dvd of this movie from a person by the name of "Rong Ju Montage" of China. Do NOT make the same mistake I made. The DVD he sent me was JUNK. I recorded a copy of this movie myself from TV many years ago. I wanted a better copy so I bought the DVD. The DVD I received was a worse copy than the one I had made myself from TV. The picture on the DVD I received was blurry and of very poor quality. The picture also quite noticeably jumped around. Again, do NOT buy any Import DVD of this movie. Otherwise you will get ripped off.

bundles of hacks
Microsoft rules the desktop. And on that desktop, the most common of its operating systems is XP. Hence this book. Gralla offers a set of tricks, or hacks, as another O'Reilly series would term these, if you want to go deeper into your machine than most of your peers. As he points out in the introduction, the book is random access. Not necessary to read sequentially.Instead, try perusing the detailed contents pages. From these, you may be able to find a brief title that addresses a need or concern of yours. Like smarter surfing of the Web, cleaning out your browser cache, or finding wireless hotspots.Hence, if a trick uses Microsoft Word, say, you don't get a full description of all that Word can do. Instead, only enough for your situation. Even in principle, this is not a reference manual. Rather, it complements those.

This is a Really Bad Movie!
You'd think on the strength of some of the actors and the director that this should be a pretty good movie. But, it isn't. It's sheer trash and I mean trash too. I haven't figured out yet why so many people are shown naked or with half their clothes off. One can only assume it's the director's idea. Why does Jennifer Jason Leigh go nude for half the picture? It makes no sense and neither does most of the film. There are just some disturbing images like a horrible pregnant woman running around acting crude and people writhing (of course) naked after being sliced in the head, dogs cut up and catipulted into a castle! It's just a pretty stupid movie. I'm just sorry it isn't a "lost" film where all copies known to exist just evaporated into thin air. A better movie that takes place a few decades before this one which takes place in 1501 isThe Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc.

Good Sound, Poor Contruction
I love the Sound of these headphones but after a year of use. I merely placed them on my head and snap. The plastic used snapped. I agree with many of the reviewer. The sound quality is great, but what good does sound quality do if the phones break with no fault but putting them on and off. I take care of my phones, I don't drop them. Bose needs to make this wrong right and reconstruct the head bridge on these phones. These phones should be taken off the market until Bose corrects this problem. Just count the review on this site alow and 1/3 complain of cheap construction because the headset breaks. It just a matter of time for the others usally a little over a year and the phones self destruct. Just long enough for the warranty to end. You would expect better quality from a company that prides itself on the best.

Anti-Polish Propaganda
While this a moving account of one families experience during the holocaust, the depiction of Poles as pigs in Spiegelman's "Maus" an unfair and highly insulting caricature. Poles suffered horribly under Nazi occupation. Few nations suffered worse. Six million Poles were murdered. Roughly half were Jewish and half Gentile. In fact exterminating Poles was also part of the Nazi master-plan. They were victims and to portray them as pigs is a grave injustice. While I read the reviews pointing out pigs have positive traits it is disingenuous to present the selection of the pig as representative of the Pole as anything but a slur. I suggest when reading this book you research the positive events in the 1000 history of Polish Jews. For starters, visit Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. Over 11,000 'Righteous Gentiles' are honored; almost 5,000 are Polish. These are non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.

A Book Where Time and Space has No Meaning
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle features Meg Murry, a regular person who is not so bright in school. Her father, Mr. Murry, is the only one who understands Meg in terms of smarts. He has been missing for a long time now.One day, Meg and her brother Charles Wallace meet Calvin. Later they meet Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, who are mystical beings who help them know what to do and how to do it. The three tell them that to find their father is to "tesseract" or travel to the planet he is on. They find him on Camazotz, a planet ruled by IT. IT is pure evil and now holds Meg's dad hostage. To get her father back, she has to get past IT.I would recommend this book to all, and especially to those who are sci-fi, fiction, or fantasy fans. I, for one, enjoyed reading and rereading this, and I usually am not such a big reader. So if I were you, I'd go and read this book. PR8

a whiter shade of pale
O, the Shame: 782 pages I will never get back (800, including the glossary). Read Tolkien, Martin, Rothfuss. Then reread them. Do this instead of wasting your time on Jordan, whose work pales in comparison. Highly derivative of Tolkien, but about a hundredth as well written or interesting. Never makes you laugh, like Martin does every time you encounter Tyrion Lannister. Gives you almost no real sense of character, as does Rothfuss with his protagonist, Kvothe. Overall, just really dull, flat, and lifeless. I slogged through this first book of the series but will never crack open the 2nd or 3rd I unfortunately bought as part of a box set. One last thing - they say, "Never judge a book by its cover." But, in this case, the extremely cheesy cover (of the mass market paperback edition) really should have made me stay away.

Not that good
I liked old Helmet, but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. I have the CDs, and I enjoy them, but I rarely listen to them. However, since there is so little worth listening to these days, I was excited to hear about a new Helmet CD. The first song made me glad that I had picked up the CD. However, after that it was all downhill. It is just too mellow. I don't expect them to make the same type of music they did a decade ago, but I do expect them to still have some balls. The music is so generic. I couldn't tell when one boring song ends and the next boring song began. When I want mellow, I listen to other types of music besides heavy rock. I don't want to hear hard rock bands doing mellow any more than I want to hear Aimee Mann doing Slayer songs.

Sharyl I Bancroft is a Fraud
Sharyl, you should be ashamed of yourself. These reviews are for consumer input only. It is obvious "Sharyl" is not some little old lady from Arizona. My guess is that Sheryl is a twenty something hired gun. Most likely some young man with a fine arts degree or a literature background. I say this because the review reads like pure fiction. Five stars?!? For a forty dolar plastic ruler?! Could you have toned down the rhetoric a little? Its really too bad. This is just one more aspect of our culture where one must sort through the crap to get to the truth.

best Disney ever
My all time favorite Disney movie! The characters were great, and I think Frollo (the bad guy) was the most evil Disney has ever made anyone seem. Also the music is great. It's broadway style music, and that really helps the story. I also think this is the most intense Disney has ever gone. Even though the storyline is not completely true to the original book, I think I liked it better. I do not recommend this movie for little kids because it is really intense. The violence is more than usual for Disney, but it's not just that. There are a lot of emotional and dramatic issues involved. But anyone who can take this should definitely buy this movie. It will pull you in and you'll want to watch it again and again at least if you're like me.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL
The feeder has broken on me 3 ----yes 3 times! It supposedly has a "lifetime" guarantee. The lady was pleasant enough, but she let me know that I have to pay $12 EVERY time the feeder breaks. I have no squirrels that can access this feeder. The plastic is VERY brittle (maybe due to the fluctuation in temperature in New England?) and the feeder tube keeps breaking. Falling right down spilling a mess of seed for me to deal with. I asked her if I called again in a year because of another broken tube was I going to get charged again? (Mind you this is the 2nd time I've paid) "Yes." Not the quality or treatment you get with Droll Yankee or Aspect. I will continue to buy from them exclusively. Never again with this piece of inferior junk!!!

Love 'em or leave 'em!
Paradise Lost is back my friends! Maybe not the way old school fans would imagine, but definitely back. This masterpiece is something I dare to name "combo". There is still some electro/gothic but, as they promised, they kinda returned to the path that once led them to "Draconian Times". Even if you heard "Forever After" that is not even close to the best song on this album. Whoever followed Paradise Lost will be at least touched by opening "Don't Belong". I cried! It is still so melancholic, dark, sad and beautiful as they've always been. Commercial moments such as "Symbol of Life" mark only a second of their weakness, or better to say their way to make things sound different in their own night black suit. This S/T release made me pull my hair HAILING: LONG LIVE PARADISE LOST!!!Do NOT miss this one!

Entertaining Beginning
Great beginning. Predictable bad ending. okay for 11 year kids. Mild western/cartoon action and brief cursing. More than mediocre. Younger kids will enjoy the movie, and so will parents. The ending is too happy, predictable. Ending is a dissapointment. Parents and kids are sure to enjoy this okay comedy. Could have been a whole lot better especially in the end. Ending could have and should have been better.

Yes, I Don't Get
I never did understand this band. It seems like they are constantly overdoing the complex nature of their music, but I just could never figure out what the point was. I realize that they are good (if not great) muscians, but they seem to try to make up for lack of real creativity with tons of disjointed oddities. The lyrics are at times almost sermons, but nothing is said. "I get down, but I get up, I get down but I get up" etc. etc. I have listened to these guys off and on throughout the years hoping to get it, but they never changed and neither has my opinion. Who wants to listen to a church organ? Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. King Crimson. All the same. Jumpy, irritating mishmash of whacked out tangents. Confusing and weird for the sake of weirdness. They can play their instruments, but they just need someone to calm them down and write a few good tunes for them. Oh yes, and can the castrato vocals.
