Not complete episodes on Christmas & Do It Yourself !
|
I have waited to buy this box set on DVD, as the first box set didn't include two famous scenes. On the Christmas episode, the turkey weighing part was missing(one of the funniest parts). On the Do It Yourself episode, same thing! Missing part when older lady gets trapped by crazy recliner due to Mr. Beans intervention! So, I hung onto my old VHS copies, that are un-edited. I saw this newer version that includes both Bean movies and hoped they had listened to past complaints and re-did the editing on the t.v. episodes. OH NO! They are just copies of the original, badly edited first edition DVDs!Terrible, expected much better. I'm sure Mr. Atkinson and his fellow writers would be appalled!

Excellence Steming From a Honest Understanding of Life
|
This book may have alot of mixed reviews but, it is a honest work! The author does not mask emotions in order to make the reader feel comfortable. While reading this work you may feel as if you are on an emotional joyride. However, this is an account of a highly personal experience. One that may help you put things into perspective by comparison. This book does not suggest a way for the reader to discern her life. It simply invites the reader to explore through her eyes. Wonderfully written!! Highly expressive. A must read for anyone who may wish to understand Japanese/American insight. The same review can be made for Polite Lies. You absolutely will not feel the reading of either books to be a waste of time.

Love it with one exception
|
I love this fryer...with one exception. I has a caked on gummy oil residue in the oil pot and nothing I do will get rid of it. So far. Other than that I would give it a 5+++. It heats up quickly, the temp is correct and it frys like a dream. Big. really Big. But having the extra baskets gives me a lot of options. So far it is completley hassle free. Setting the temp & timer are not a problem. The instructions are very clearly written. Yes .. definitely a 5 (as soon as I can get rid of the oil ring)

Its ok but...
|
I bought this item for my 92fs and it is a decent holster. However, there are some nuances that would keep me from buying another for a different gun. Most of my observations compare this holster with my sig p226 holster (sig brand holster).One, the paddle seems huge. I road in a rhino when I took the holster and sidearm with me. Even with a huge paddle, I was worried the whole time that the holster and gun were going to fall into the dirt road and be lost. The Sig paddle, although smaller, is not going to come off. One can tell.Two, there is some play between the gun and the holster. Although it was a decent fit for the sidearm, it made noise when I was walking around. Nothing worse that a firearm rattling around in there.The button release seems slippery. I need to put some skate board tape on it. The sig holster button is checkered, and I can always tell when my finger is on it.This holster is good, and for the price a good value. It just falls a little short of the ideal.

Tumble time Tigger is a Flop
|
My son owns a lot of Tiggers toys as tigger is his favorite. But the Tumble time Tigger was a complete waiste of time and money. We bought him and tried him out and returned him the next day for a full refund. The Tumble time Tigger doesn't tumble at all no matter the surface you use it on or how loud you clap and chant. We tried it on the counter, table, hard floor, and carpet. In the end he always flopped over on it's side like a fish on land. We tried clapping and cheering for the toy as advertised and nothing but a big flop. Honestly if three people clapping and cheering for it at the same time isn't loud enough to get it to work. It doesn't work like it should and you can forget a small child being able to operate it. It's my opinion that the Tumble time Tigger is a waiste in time and money. Not recommended.

Not for people with too much education or life experience
|
The tests in this book would probably work best for someone at the early college level. I say this because as an adult with a degree behind me, and years of work/life experience, I took all the tests . . . and found that I scored extremely high in every area. How does this help me? It doesn't. I believe the high scores are a result of life experience - I knew the answers - not because I am gifted in every area, but simply because I have lived long enough to learn the answers. So, in order for this test to measure a person's aptitude, they need to NOT have too much life experience. The only area in which a person may get acurate results even as an older adult is in Logic. Those questions did seem to test the way you think - can you think abstractly? That is an area that may be more difficult to "learn" - most of us are either abstract or concrete thinkers by nature.

Is there no end to your measuring?
|
I have used 60" measuring tapes. They are fine for what they do. But sometimes you need more. Perhaps 62". Perchance, 75". In furtive moments, 98.5". Sometimes you feel like going crazy and measuring something that busts past that two-digit inch barrier into something truly lengthy.For such moments, a mere 60" tape measure simply will not do. Have you ever sworn you wouldn't touch something with a ten-foot pole? How would you know? Now, with the 120" yellow fiberglass tape measure - you can! 120 muscular inches of pure measuring power. That's like ten school-year measuring rulers, matched with the flexibility of finely-crafted fiberglass.Need to make a pair of pants for a sumo wrestler? There's a tape for that.Thank you, Fiberglass Tape Measure - 120" Yellow. You are my passport to a new world of measurement.

GeoTrax is the BEST!
|
We got a portion of GeoTrax for my son's 2nd Christmas and he loved it right away. Now for his 3rd Christmas we are getting him more. We have 80% of GeoTrax made (yes our set is HUGE!) and he still plays it after having it for a year. My only complaint is that some of the trains go through battery's really fast. This is a extreamly durable set. My son loves playing with the buildings and the trains when the track isn't set up too. He can't set the track up by himself yet but he's learning. This is a great toy to get the whole family involved. My 1yr old daughter also loves the set and eagerly waits for the trains to go by her so she can snatch them off the track. She's like a little Godzilla! For the train lover in your family this is a great great set!

Problem with Air King 60 Minute Delay Switch AKDT60
|
I purchased this switch to put a timer on the fan in the bathroom, which would allow the fan to run and expel humidity for a selected period of time after someone leaves the bathroom. The switch was delivered QUICKLY. It appeared to be a very nice switch. It was about 2 weeks before I got a chance to install it. After installation, I was disappointed in the loud clicking noise it made. I could not use it in the morning due to the fact that someone was still sleeping. I was EVEN more disappointed after 2 additonal weeks when the switch failed to completely shut off (but clicked sporadically), causing the motor on the fan to start/stop fairly rapidly. Obviously, the motor in the fan would have been destroyed in a short period of time. I removed the switch. I bought an Intermatic switch locally and installed it. It is VERY quiet and has worked well thus far. Only time will tell how long it will last, but at least I am optimistic.

I'll Never Forget These Books!
|
I started reading these books when I was in fifth grade. I'm a fast reader, so they weren't to large for me. Now, both my mother and I are captivated with these books, and we cannot wait for the next one. I check for it every time I go to the bookstore, and each time I pray it's there. Jean Auel draws you into the books with her captivating words, and realistic characters. Ayla is about as real as you get. I just want to leap for joy when she descovers something new, or comfort her when she is upset. When she starts thinking about how babies are born, I just want to tell her, Yes! You're right!!! There is never a dull moment, and each part is captivating in its own way. I have read all the books, around 12 times, and I am continuously picking them up again. Yeah, I know everyone's asking you the same question, Jean, but I have to ask it too- WHEN IS THE NEXT BOOK COMING!?!

Quality Control Issues
|
Great knives except for one thing, 2 of the steak knives started to rust. The areas were small but I expect no issues for a knife set that costs this much. I never put these into a dishwasher. They were always hand washed.It looked like there was some contamination on the forging dies when these knives were manufactured. There were small inclusions in the steel where the rust was noticed. Getting a new set soon. If I have the same issue I will be returning for a refund.Update 12-04-12Reveived the new set and so far no issues. I've updated to 4 stars.Update 01-07-13These knives rust if any water is left on them. I have to hand wash and immediately dry to keep them in good condition. I can't return them as it's too late. Save your money and purchase another brand.

Opera as good as it gets...in the movies
|
Never has an opera been translated to film as well as this. The production is incredible, the cast perfect. But the real reason for watching this opera is Julia Migenes. She doesn't sing Carmen. She IS Carmen. She is Carmen with all her raw sensuality and alure and on top of that, what a voice!! So many greats have sung the role of Carmen without understanding the character of Carmen. Who cares how well someone sings if they just don't deliver from the heart, from the soul. Migenes gets it, and she delivers. And Domingo isn't bad either. (That was humor for those of you that take these reviews way too seriously).If you've never enjoyed an opera before, buy this one.

NOT RELIABLE, BIASED...

Yuck! It would be so nice to see a balanced perspective. It's not apparent in any of the series out there on cable tv that they even try to get other opinions. This one especially. I trust and believe the Bible is accurate. This series does not. Buy "The Stones Cry Out" DVD from World of the Bible Ministries and "The Second Great Battle of Jericho" by The Associates for Biblical Research. Then you will get another perspective.Haven't those in the media ever heard of The Near East Archaeological Society, The Associates for Biblical Research, The Institute for Biblical Archaeology, World of the Bible Ministries? Here is a list people that unfortunately many in the media forget about.Dr. Bryant WoodDr. Edwin Yamauchi (infrequent guest)Dr. Gary ByersDr. Bob Smith (from Florida)Dr. Charles AlingDr. Clyde BillingtonDr. Michael WiseDr. William SheaMr. Gordon FranzDr Randall Price etc;

Waste of my time and money
|
I bought this item thinking that being a computer savy person, I wouldn't struggle with some of the issues some people said they had. WRONG. Sometimes it doesn't turn off. Sometimes it doesn't know it's connected to computer. I've been able to load only one song onto it - and it's one I already had. How many times do I want to hear one song. I used the musicmatch software that was "highly recommended." Then the helpline person at PHilips told me he wouldn't advise using it! None of the music would load onto my player, never has and apparently never will. Wasted $10 to find out the software that came with it doesn't actually work with it, and so far I can't find download music software that will work with it. I try to email company - no response until I got nasty. They email me to call helpline again - not good - I only use a prepaid cell phone. Getting more expensive. Planning to buy iPod. Save your money and frustration, buy anything else.

Story overshadowed
|
I was looking for another highly rated series to watch with my boyfriend & The Wire came up. In the past our favorites have been ALIAS, SIX FEET UNDER, DEXTER & THE SOPRANOS. We watched the first 3 or 4 episodes of Season One, hoping to find another "winner". UGH. For the life of me, I don't get the fascination with the F-WORD!!! What's the deal?? If you have good writers, why do they depend on this word at least 5 times in every sentence? Imagine this: filming a scene & the director calls "cut" & says "You left out 3 F-words". To me, this is a sickening word, shows a limited vocabulary & I don't want to hear it over & over & over & over. If that makes me a prude, SO BE IT. It's a sad commentary.

Decent pistol with some problems
|
I don't know what brand it is, for it has no labels or insignias on the gun or the box. It's not the version shown in the picture. Mine is the standard M9, beretta style with no finger grooves in the grip. It's a somewhat heavy pistol with plastic body and a metal hammer, clip and release pin. It was obviously used, although i chose a new one on amazon. It had scratches on the magazine and gun, and a ton of houshold oil in it. Probably there because it jams all the time. It seems to not jam so much with polished bbs, don't expect much from the free bbs they come with. The spring inside the clip buckles also, that might be part of the reason it jams. But it seems to shoot ok most of the time with good bbs. You are much better off to buy an airsoft pistol, for about the same price, from a website that specializes in airsoft.

Amazing!!!!
|
This book has got to be one of the best books around! I have read all the Phantom Stallion books, but haven't got around to reviewing them. This book is one of if not the best book of the series. It's the first book, so everything's new, which makes things more exciting. The main plot of the story is Sam's coming back home after two years away in San Francisco because of an accident. She must brush up her riding skills and learn how to be a rancher's daughter again. Her old horse Blackie, now running free, returns to her and Sam rekindles their old friendship by saving him from from an attempt on capture. She even meets her new pony Ace and their new dog Blaze. Sam even rescues another animal. (I won't say what. I hate spoilers!) Read this book and all the others. You won't be sorry!

Mostly uneventful and somewhat pretentious

I like Glenn Gould. I didn't care for this movie however.1) The actor does not look like Glenn at all in my opinion, which I find distracting.2) Its very disjointed, and a lot of the components offer very little insight about Glenn or his life. One scene was Glenn simply going into a restaurant and listening to other people's conversations. Big deal, this is not interesting. I know this was supposed to offer a subtle insight into his personality, but it's boring and it comes across as pretentious filmmaking. Another example; Glenn is listening to a record with a cleaning lady. Thats it. Why is this interesting? Someone could film my uncle in Wal Mart, but would you care? Hey, look...My Uncle Carl is buying batteries. Now he is putting his change in his pocket. How utterly profound....In my opinion, you will learn and understand more about Glenn Gould by listening to his music than watching this lackluster, uneventful movie.

Almost a religious experience - it has changed my life
|
I started the diet two months ago and have lost 30 pounds. The diet takes no willpower and I lost an average of slightly over three pounds a week. I feel great! My wife, family and friends can't believe I'm losing so much weight. I will stay on the diet in some form for the rest of my life. I had been gaining weight steadily since college and diets just did not work. I wish I had known about the diet years ago but I believed that only a low calorie diet could work. After the reading the book and beginning the diet it was as if a great secret was revealed to me. Although you should read the book, the diet boils down to two rules. Eat as much protein and fat as you need not to be hungry. As for carbohydrates, start very close to zero and adjust the amount based on the weight loss you experience. If you're not losing, cut the carbs. if you're losing too fast, add a few carbs. Thank you Dr. Atkins for changing my life.

One of the WORST movies I have EVER scene
|
Ok, so I went to go see this movie with hi expectations. I like most of Nicolas Cage's movies and I think he's a GREAT actor. And I like disaster movies. It kinda looked a bit like the "Mothman Prophecy's". When the movie starts out it is pretty good and kinda erie. And all and all it was pretty good..... until the end that is. This is one of those rare movies where the ending CAN and DOES ruin the whole movie! I mean honestly Nicolas Cage coulda just sat in a chair the whole movie and the end result would have been the EXACT same! This movie's ending makes the ending the "The Village" look fantastic! And anyone who has seen that movie knows what I'm talking about. Honestly when i left the theater i actually felt that i had wasted two hours of my life that I'll NEVER get back. Save your money and time. DONT watch this movie!!!!

Intreging! Fast paced war history.
|
I love this book! It's just packed with information. The copy I have is falling apart from so much use. I was delighted to see it available on amazon. It's fast paced so it doesn't go into a lot of depth on any one subject. But it covers so much development of warfare, from prehistoric man to our nuclear age. Lots of room during that time to change war itself & how & with what it's waged with. I'm not going to go into the argument of Clausewitz vs cultural versions of war as Many others have already done so & I feel no need to add more either way. I have the ww2 book & the face of battle all written by this author. Fond of all of them. If you're looking to see how war has changed than this is.for you. If you are looking for more depth or more coverage in say Clausewitz than, I'd suggest getting something else.

this is truly the one of the greatest fighting games ever made. most of the character from MKII return such as jax, liu kang, sub-zero (unmasked) shang-tsung, kung lao etc. there are also new characters like sindel, sheeva, kabal, sector, cyrax, nightwolf, stryker, and smoke. the graphics are wonderful, the sound is great and the fatalities are really fatal. there is also friendship, babality, and animality. the combos are fairly easy to do and are fun to do over again. playing against computer is easy on very easy and very difficult on very hard. there are only 5 credits when u play, but there various cheats to help u in the game. kool stuff, kooler stuff, scott stuff an music test will realy help out in the game. cheats like 1 button fatality, enabling motaro and shao khan, extended fatality time really make the more fun than it already is. this is truly the best MK made and one of the greatest if not the greatest fighting game ever made for any system.

People actually like this dud of a movie. Give it a try.
|
A king sized helping of irritating with a dollop of boring. I can't believe this movie is liked by so many people. It was mildly interesting as far as "old jaded scientist hates greenhorn until he starts liking her" formula movies go. But the chemistry between them bit! Which made the musical score really funny when you hear the first "triumphant" symphonic piece. You frown and say, "I don't get it, I thought they still hated each other...is this 'Gone with the Wind' drama because she likes the view from the ropes?" And Lorraine Bracco's character is soooo annoying. The fact that he wants her to return with him isn't even believable. Connery's okay, but a bad match for his style. I watched the whole thing though, and other people liked it. But, like one of the other reviewers wrote, I figured out the cure for cancer before the characters did. And so will you!

This is a good phone. I love it, ive had mine for a few months now, thanks to my dad who bought me one. Some reveiws say this fone breaks easily, ive spilled a whole glass of water on mine, dropped it while it was open on the concrete at school, and had it fall off my desk at home. Seriously, you have to try to break this phone. The software on it is the same as every other motorola phone ive used in the past. If your familiar with motorola phones this wont be hard to use. The camera isnt the best, but i dont really use my phone to take videos and pictures. lol i kinda use mine to talk. Another thing i love about this fone is when someone calls there picture shows up on the screen, i guess thats quickly becoming the standard for phones. I think if you like being complemented on how cool your phone looks, and talk regularly on the phone then get this. I heard that a new version is coming out it looks cool, it was set for release this year but theres only 2 or so weeks left lol.

iPods: A huge waste of money
|
Don't waste your money on an ipod. It is extremely overpriced for the quality it delivers. There are mp3 players that hold just as much and are of much better quality than an ipod and cost hundreds less. I've had my ipod for about a year and the battery drains over time. Fully charged, I get about 2 hours of music from my ipod before the batterys dead. No EQ or backlight on. It was about 12 hours of battery life when I first got it. AND APPLE IS CHARGING 59 DOLLARS TO GET THE BATTERY REPLACED!!!! Thats pure BS. Why should I pay nearly $60 dollars so they can fix their own mistake!!!! Mine also shuts off at random times, in the middle of songs for no reason. This isn't just my ipod, my friends ipods have been having alot of issues too. Buy a Creative Zen, it's cheaper, better quality and has alot more features. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS THE APPLE LOGO ON IT, IT DOSN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO SHELL OUT 300 DOLLARS FOR THIS!!!!

Very useful
|
I really liked this organizer. It's small, so it's easy to carry around. Because it is spiral bound, it's easy to hold in one hand and fill out with the other. It gave me a place to keep track of all my doctor appointments, questions for my doctor, daycare referals, items I registered for, shower gifts, insurance information, weight gain, potential baby names, etc. It contains a good checklist of to dos organized by month. It helped me prepare my birth plan and pack my hospital bag. It contains great questions to ask when interviewing pediatricians, day care providers, etc. My only criticism is there's only one form for each type of interview. If you interview more than one pediatrician, OBGYN, midwife, daycare provider, etc, you have to photocopy the pages and fill out the photocopies. They should include 3 copies of each form in the organizer. It also has a place to keep track of diapering and feeding post-birth, although I didn't use that. Overall, a great product.

Excellent for the Working Mom!!
|
This breast pump is terrific!! It's one of two that I am now using since I have been back to work. I have been using the Medela Pump In Style for the past 3 months with my son..and now since I don't want to carry the large case I have decided to use this one on a daily basis while at work. It's totally the best thing. I can get out 8-10 oz. in about 10 mins with no problem. This pump is made well and easy to sterilize. For a manual pump it really does a good job at expressing breast milk quickly. I have really enjoyed breastfeeding and don't want to give it up and this product enables you to pump anywhere at anytime. I find that this pump works much better than the low grade electric or battery operated low grade pumps. I have owned three breast pumps so far and this one is my most preferred product!

Exciting yet ....
|
I have to admit. I was hesitant when I bought this book. Than I could not put it down. I would read when ever I could. I just had to get to the ending...than poof. It fizzled. It seemed Mrs.Roberts was tired of writting the book than just ended it abruptly. It was like reading the end of a Harlequin Romance. The obligated chapters were set in place. Time to emd it and send it in.I did indeed love the story. But the ending was rather abrupt. I felt it left loose ends.

Very, Very Disappointed!!!!!!
|
After doing some research, I went with Sony Cybershot DSC-T100. Normally, I am really against Sony because I have had really terrible luck with Sony products. But I thought I would give Sony another chance. I really loved the features this camera had to offer.I bought the camera 3 weeks ago, and started shooting pictures of family. When I went to review the pictures I have taken, I noticed for some of the pictures I was getting a blue screen with a "File Error" message. Also, some of the pictures were were split in half. The top half was sharp and the bottom half was blurry.I called Sony, and they were not able to help me at all. They were not able to tell me why this was happening to my camera. They said I would have to send the camera for repair and I would have to pay for shipping. So, I just decided to return the camera at the store where is was bought. NEVER again will I buy a Sony product. I have learned my lesson.

Quality issues and potential safety issue.
|
IF YOU HAVE A YOUNG CHILD/BABY THAT CAN NOT SPEAK YET, DON'T GET THIS PRODUCT.This product line has quality issues and a potential safety issue. I bought 2 of these humidifiers. The first one the frog from Target. At first it was very quiet. After about 2 months, the frog started humming and rattling loudly. So we threw that out and bought a second one. This time it was the elephant model. It seemed to work well for a couple months. But then one night I came into the baby's room and there was a horrible plastic smell that burned my nostrils, and my baby was crying. I hope that smell isn't toxic. Do a search for the word "smell" on all the low ranked comments and you'll notice many people having this same issue.

This is one of the best game sets I have ever seen. You get three great games. Dune is an awesome game. The grafics and controls are similer to Red Alert. Now for Blade Runner. I wasn't amazed by this game. But over all its ok. The game is like an interactive movie. The graphics and animations are good. Finnaly, its Wing Commander Prophecy. This is a GREAT GAME! In the game you're a fighter pilot that is fresh out of the academy and stationed on the Midway. Blair(from the movie)is now a Commodore on the Midway. Over all, this is a great game package.

Super cute costume
|
I loved the costume. Decently made. It came with a wand too. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for two things. One, It was super short like most reviewers warned.I wore boy shorts underneath but my behind was definitely hanging out (I am 5'5). Not for anyone who is shy. And two, the description of this product said it came with glasses. I had looked this costume up on other sites (this was the best price) and knew it did NOT come with glasses. If I hadn't done my research I wouldn't have known and been stuck without the glasses. Luckily, I ordered them seperately. Still, for the price it was a good costume.

The...best...drumming...ever
|
OK, first of all, let me get this out of the way, because it seems to have invaded a lot of the reviews here. I listen to Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, The Used, etc. I'm into all that music. This band DOES NOT sound like them. And the reason isn't the guitars or the vocalist. It's the drummer.I'm a drummer. I've been drumming for a few years, I'm in my own band, and I consider us to be pretty good. I've seen some amazing drummers play at concerts before. I have never seen, heard, imagined, or otherwise conceived of the possibility that a drummer could be as talented as this one. You can set your watch to this guy. I dare anyone to listen to the intro, prechorus, and chorus of "Promise" and not have their jaw drop. It's amazingly technical, it's emotional, it's powerful...and it fits in the song perfectly. You can't get better than this.

I've seen better Veidt silents
|
Couldn't wait to watch "The Hands of Orlac" since I already new the gist of the story anyway and have seen many Veidt movies (both silent and talkies). However...after sitting thru the first 30 minuets (waiting for it to get better) I couldn't wait to turn it off. Maybe I shouldn't comment on this silent as I haven't really watched it in total. I have a vast silent movie collection but I don't know if I even want to give it shelf room. And the soundtrack!!! KINO! What were you thinking!!! It sounds like a 6 year old at his first violin lesson! After watching this with my wife and looking at each other from time to time and probably having the same agonizing look on my face as hers...we just couldn't take it any longer. If you want to see Conrad Veidt at his "silent best" watch "The Man Who Laughs" instead! And if you want to see the same story/plot in an early talkie, watch "Mad Love" with Peter Lorre. (P.S. I know where you can get a copy of "Orlac" CHEAP!)

"Couldn't wait to watch \"The Hands of Orlac\" since I already new the gist of the story anyway and have seen many Veidt movies (both silent and talkies).",
"However...after sitting thru the first 30 minuets (waiting for it to get better) I couldn't wait to turn it off.",
"Maybe I shouldn't comment on this silent as I haven't really watched it in total.",
"I have a vast silent movie collection but I don't know if I even want to give it shelf room.",
"And the soundtrack!!!",
"KINO!",

Ultraviolet is ultra-light on the plot
|
The similarities between Ultraviolet and Underworld were similar in some respects. In that a virus changes the human species into something else. With Ultraviolet we have humans and vampires. A futuristic world with plenty of cool gadgets. The special effects in this film are the film, but the plot is really lacking. I felt somewhat empty after watching this film. With more work on the plot of the film in a potential sequel added to the intense special effects this could be a great film. You can tell the actors worked hard on their training, especially in terms of martial arts. The last battle scene is my favorite part of the film. The background music gives an "old world" feel in a futuristic world. All these fancy weapons eventually leads to swords. So elegant, so simple, the sword is a timeless weapon that appears to outshine the majority of the weapons created before and henceforth.Work on the plot and you have a great film. I hope there's a sequel.

Morris's Adventures
|
"Morris Goes to School," is a story about a Moose who at first doesn't know how to read or count. At the beginning of the story Morris goes to the "Fish" store to by candy. The clerk tells him he's in the wrong place and sends him to the "Candy" store. When Morris goes to the candy store, the clerk tells him the candy is a penny a piece. Morris counts his money, but counts it wrong. The man asks Morris if he went to school, and Morris said, "no." So the man takes him to school, where he learns how to read and count. Morris then goes to the "candy" store and gives exactly five cents for five gumdrops. This story teaches children that by going to school, you can learn things that you might not have known if you didn't go. It also teaches them, that everyone should have the right to go to school. I recommend this book for everyone. It was always my favorite book, when I was a kid.

The Greatest of All Times...
|
If you happen to be sifting through all my reviews, stop everything and buy this old CD. Now.By far the best prog CD EVER MADE. A little dark and intense, with muddy, burping, evil frog noises. But I like evil frog noises. Like in "In Too Deep" on the first disk. Sounds great. Tribe and Trance is like pouring chocolate syrup into your brain. Digger's own Flanker is marvelous, and the Baggio Track here is intriguing. The low point of the first disk, "Music Saved my Life," stinks, what can I say. Skip over it.Angry Skies is one of the best trance tracks ever, ever, ever sung by a chorus of evil burping frogs. Worth the braincells you lose listening to it. Although it really should be called Angry Frogs. The Breeder track is stellar as always.BUY THIS CD

The Story of a Sellout
|
What happened, Slipknot? I wil ltell you, you let Corey Taylor right your songs. This cd goes from great to awful, and makes me want ot hurl. It cannot compare to Iowa, or S/T. Slipknot is not the type of band that goes from Surfacing to Vermillion. It saddens me to see this happen. The great parts are The Blister Exists, Three Nil, Duality, and Opium of the People. Everything from this point...collapses. Vermillion? Now with a music video that is fully equipped with crap. Slipknot is dead, unless they can make a good cd after this, but since I really did like them at one point, I'll buy it.

Dog House: Not Loved by the Dog
|
The first shipment was missing 1 box, so we had to return the box and ask Amazon to reship. They sent another dog house in two days, so I was impressed with how Amazon handled the return.The house looks more sturdy here in the picture than it actually is in person. It's very lightweight - which is good and bad. It's easy to assemble and move around the yard. If my dog wanted, she could probably move it herself. I like the house - we live in a warm climate so it's main purpose is to keep her dry. The problem is my dog - golden retriever - absolutely hates it. She won't go in the house! Hopefully in time, she'll start to like the house. I'm placing her toys and food inside in hopes that it will encourage her. Go figure!!

Journey to the end of the night
|
I have to admit that after reading this book and its follow on "I am a masochist." From the start, it is almost impossible to describe the levels of self debasement Celine puts his character through. The direction that any chain of events will follow is clear after the first three sequences. Down! In most cases they don't start on a very high plane.I don't believe for a minute that the scenarios pulled screaming from Celines mind are something the reader will carry with him / her after having have thrown the book down in disgust. The general feeling, yes, anything else, no.The writing style, at least as translated, is a slow go.As to why I finished it, the first sentence is my confession and excuse. There was something that held me. The friend who recommended kept asking, "weren't they funny?" To that I can state, for me a resounding "NO". He asked, "Were they good?" The answer to that is given above.

Complete garbage, no support, forced upgrades - BEWARE!
|
This program is complete garbage. It doesn't catch such blatant spam as "Banned government CD". I started getting a lot more of these when I installed their software. Since it'd be very easy for them to update their software to block these emails, I have to conclude they are behind it. How else could a company be so incompetent as to let them through?Also is the issue of forcing users to pay for upgrades. See they stopped updating the definitions to 3.0 so if you bought 3.0 and want it to catch the latest spam, you have to PAY for an upgrade to 4.0! This is downright pathetic. As soon as you pay for 4.0, they'll have a 5.0 waiting for you I'm sure. Think about it, it only costs $20. So either they plan to sell you the same software 3-4 times by forcing you to upgrade, or they make their money by selling your email address to spammers. Either way watch out.

It's 500 years in the future. Man and machine are virtually one and the greatest megacity in the world is locked in a brutal war. You are the ultimate saboteur and part of an elite fighting force. Your mission: Steal the largest, most sophisicated biomechanical attack weapon ever designed! 3rd person action at its BEST!Let me tell yah all! Slave Zero on the ultimate Dreamcast "ROCKS!"

Cool fast mech action. Addictive multiplayer. Good sound effects.Bad stuff: No online capabilities.

Zakk is lost...
|
Incredible. This is the bottom for Black Label Society, This is nothing, just a lot of mid tempo crap. The songs are slow, boring, pedestrian. Zakk's vocals hava never been worse. A total dissapointment for me. Even the xperimentation with softer songs in Hangover Music is much better than this. This is, simply put, the worst product ever offered by BLS. I'm shcoked by how bad it is. And what is the deal with Zakk trying to rip off Ozzy's vocals?!! Sure, he is tremendouslty influencied by Ozzy, but to that point?!!! Man, what went wrong...?

I was there.
|
I was in high school, a year older than Amy, during the time all this was going on. One of my best friends was good friends with her. A few people from my church went on the mission trip with her to Africa. I don't remember Tyler or Jordan, but I do remember meeting Amy a few times and the sense of hope she had and how upbeat she was about all that was going on in her life and the faith she had. She had a kindness about her, and a beautiful smile. God used her to basically start a revival in our high school. Kids all over the school were touched by her. I remember going to visit her at the hospital once with my friend, and the room was just packed with cards and things. And the high school really did have things hanging up all over the walls with "get well Amy". I also attended her bible study group at school. I do not remember it being at six in the morning, though. She was an inspiration to people all over this town. God was shown through her life.

Simple the best.....
|
I bought this cd after my 3 year old and I heard and saw the video Stop & Go on Noggin. My daughter fell in love with the song. I wanted to give her a chance to own her own collection of music. Before I bought the cd, I listened to every song sample Amazon allows you to listen to. After listening, I fell in love with the songs too. When it arrived I had no idea the cd comes with a book. Very Cool! Lovely story to read before bed. We play Catch the Moon everyday. We dance and sing to all the songs. We even have my 8 year old son involved. Lisa Loeb & Elizabeth Mitchell did a wonderful job on this cd. I and my family recommend it!

My kids love the music and the movie too
|
My kids (daughter 8 and son 6) loved the movie and now love the music CD. They both (me too) like to sing along in the car with it. It is good, upbeat, clean music. The vocals are outstanding. Those kids are really talented. They are POSITIVE role models, unlike Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, (ironically they started out with Disney, lol)I also appreciate that it is not like rap music, which I never cared for. The songs are all good, we don't have to skip around to find a good song. The words are all innocent--no swearing or sex talk, it really is geared to younger kids and tweens. All of my daughters friends loved the movie and sing the songs all the time. I'm looking forward to the movie release. The dancing in the movie is "cool" and mom-approved. No thrusting, grinding and things like that, lol. We will buy the movie when it comes out may 23.

Rule number one concerning remakes......
|
Do not, do not, I repeat, do not CHANGE THE ORIGINAL ENDING!!!The finale of this movie was not good. Glenn CLose was excellent in this picture as was Cristopher Walkin, but the ending was so stupid. You saw it coming though Matthew Broderick has to play a wimp in every movie he's in so you almost knew that he was gonna pull a fast one.In the original the women are disposed of and replaced with robots. In this movie the women simply have computer chips implanted into their brains. I can go along with that for a change, fair enough. But to have a robot running everything with Glenn behind the scenes? No, no, no.ALthough I will admit I did sort of enjoy Bette Midler in this. I can't normally stand her, but my wife is a fan of hers. Bette's character name in this was 'Bobbi' which is my wife's name. I found that ever so amusing.

Good and Bad news
|
Good news -- This TV is very reasonably priced for the size. It could save much space in our kitchen. The under counter bracket has a much wider turning angle than some competitive units. Picture is bright and reception is good. Sound is adequate - better than some small units. The FM receiver is a great added bonus!Bad News -- Connected to an antenna instead of cable the UHF channels show the wrong channel number. Some TV's have a setting to correct this. The FM tuner doesn't search automatically or save channel settings. Thus, it is not convenient to use with more than one channel. These are both very minor short comings that can easily be ignored. Unfortunately, the TV emits a very annoying high pitch noise that my 16 yr old son can easily hear. It is probably the horizontal scan mechanism radiating noise at 15,750 cycles per second. For this reason we are regretfully returning the TV.

She's OK but...
|
She is no Jill Scott. Not even the same league as India Arie!! I was very excited to hear Fallin. That was a great cut. I even like the song about a womans worth. However, I listened to the entire CD at a friend house and was totally demotivated to go and buy it. She is way over hyped. Probabaly due to the fact that she is very attractive, and has Clive Davis backing her, who has mainstreamed the heck out of her. Perhaps too soon. She is good musician, obviously young. I do believe she will improve over time.Pop lovers will definitely drool all over her. R&B lovers will deal with her. And neo soul lovers...borrow the CD from someone else and give it back.

Perfect Gift for the Expectant Mom
|
I absolutely love this little countdown calender. It is part of my standard expectant mom gift basket. It's always a big hit. It details the 280 days of pregnancy from the baby's point of view. For example on Day 116 the calender reads "Believe it or not, I can see in here!! If a bright light is shined on your abdomen, I will gradually move my hands up to cover my eyes." or day 129 "What's that ruckus? If a loud sound is made, I will raise my hands and cover my ears." Day 139 "My length is approximately 9 inches and I weigh around 10 ounces." Luckily, I received one from my sister-in-law as a gift or I would have bought one for myself. :o) P.S. I never had a problem with the accuracy of the dates/days/weeks. I always start from the back (the due date) and work forward.

A Waste of Money
|
This book doesn't show you how to do any of the projects... Both of my kids (son and daughter) read through the book and thought how worthless. Even if you think something looks cool, it doesn't include instructions. The photo's do not show the whole room.For example... looking at "Back in the Saddle" page 60-61, where's the bed? There isn't one. Where does she sleep? on the floor next to the horse posters and fake plastic hedges? But they made sure she has a picnic basket! And where's the plans for the stables? Even if they oncluded the plans, my teenagers could never build this stable (even if you could figure out where to put a bed)!What a big disappointment. We wish we could return it and get our money back. You should try to check this one out at the library so you don't through away your money...it's not a keeper.

Not one of my favorite needlework books
|
I was not impressed by this book. It didn't have very many charts to choose from. If you like floral patterns, you might like this book, though. There is a chapter devoted to how to graph flowers and leaves to make your own charts for needlepoint. The floral and leaf pictures/patterns are quite realistic-looking compared to many modern floral patterns that I've seen. But I was rather dissappointed. I would never spend more than 5 bucks on such a book. There were some pictures of finished needlework but no charts to go with them. There was a picture of 50 thumbnail pictures of all the flowers of the U.S. states, but the only chart included in the book was Kansas' sunflowers. So much for Danish stitching. I was looking forward to seeing samples of traditional Danish stitchery and having graphs to go with them, if I wanted to stitch any of them. But I was not inspired by this book at all.

Best chair ever!!
|
I have thrown the bouncy chair out! This is the best. It's so much sturdier and it supports my baby so much better. Also he LOVES it. He hated the bouncy chair. I see these chairs in all the local daycare centers and I always wanted to get one. Now that I have one I don't know why I never bought one before. This will last so much longer than any bouncy chair and has way more YEARS of life than an expensive Papasan chair. Please those things are such a waste of money! I think I may have to buy another one since my 19 month old is wanting to use this one but my 5 week old son is in it. Can't have her trying to sit on his lap! I love everything about this chair. My baby is a quiet (except when he's crying) baby. Well after 2 minutes in this chair he kicked his legs and it made the toys move. He started to make sounds and smile and kick more and more. It's the only thing he's interacted with. I love it and I love watching him in it. Best $40 I've ever spent!

quit the griping . . .

well, i don't care what all these one-star review people think. i'm a junior in high-school, i've read this book, and i LIKE it. it's not boring, and while i don't necessarily agree with all of the points Dr. Loewen makes, i can respect anyone who has read twelve text books (without being forced to). i'm sorry, but text-books really are boring, and i would rather be forced to read a HUNDRED books like this one through my 'school-life' than ONE example of the flat, toneless <crud> that's been pushed on me for the past ten or eleven years. just my feelings on the matter, folks. this book was refreshing for me. i'm happy i read it. . . i wanna recommend it to my uncle Steve. he loves this stuff.

Terrible!
|
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Total waste of money. Here's why:1. This book provides no review material whatsoever. It consists of a couple tests and a CD-Rom which has the SAME tests.2. The answers to the test questions are not thorough. Reading over 200 answers will not help you learn the material well, as the questions and information are in random order. This is a very inefficient way to study and difficult for consolidating new information.3. The GRE Psychology test is paper written. I wish I knew before I bought this so-called review book with its CD-rom. It is important to practice taking the test in the format it will be given in.4. Buy a Kaplan Guide--they're cheaper anyway. With this book you're going to have to obtain an Introductory Psych textbook.

Should've listened...
|
I should've listened to the other complaints and so should you. Its flimsy. The bracket is weak. It cracks as you attempt to tighten it. It doesn't stay put. It vibrates. Poor design. I think its kind of small too after really paying attention in my friends wake boats. Kind of tough to really see the kids on a tube 60-80ft back there. It didn't last one summer. Keep looking!

Desert heat be damned
|
This fan is great. It came shipped from Amazon very well packaged. This fan is not that big or bulky. Good length power cord.Ok so this item is great. This thing BLOWS its unreal. Most fans of this size dont move air like this fan does. I can tell you that desert heat in May to September is unbearable, specially with bills so high. This thing has 3 setting, low, high and off. On low this thing will after 20min make you shiver, no exaggeration. On high you will need to turn it off or freeze. This while its small and a desk fan moves air like a full size fan.Pros:Moves ton of airSmallQuiet (noise you hear is the air, and all fans will do this. as for the air flow isnt that loud.Not heavyCons:None really. I guess it could of been made with stronger plastic? Honestly no cons..But I fell something should go here anyway so there.Get it. This on high can easily cool your whole room. This is wat im gonna be doing instead of a desk fan.

James Bond's Best Fireplace / Atmosphere DVD!!!
|
I agree with the guy from Nashville. This is the best in quality of any tape or DVD of it's kind. Nothing else looks so real that you're not embarrassed to show it to your girlfriend. If it were hokey or cheesey I wouldn't put it on durring a date. Expensive wine, my livingroom, dimmed lights, and my girl, all demands....FLARE! Very slick! It looks and sounds so real. It's the best reason I have to turn down the lights and watch the light from the flames reflect off of my girlfiend's face and the wine glasses. This is my 'James Bond' tape. If 007 wanted to create some mood while flying on his private jet, this is the fire that would play across his plasma screen. Can a fire be called classy? It's Great.

Keepsake
|
My wife bought this for me on a whim and while I like the game there are a few things I have to swallow to play it.The Artwork in this adventure is nothing short of breath taking. The dragons look amazing in the statues and other places. the Vistas are grand and so is the soundtrack.Yet the main character is misproportioned. I can't stand watching her run! Her arms are way too short. And she's not the only one. With backgrounds so wonderful, why are all the characters so wooden? They don't move smoothly and look like they are gliding across the floor instead of running. The wolf, your companion, looks more like he is covered in skin than hair.And the voice acting is terrible. I can't say much more about that.Yet even with those flaws I am looking forward to finishing this adventure. It looks like a good story.So where did everyone go? :)

Waste of Time!

Geez, if there is a half-star rating here, i could have selected that one, giving this camera 1 star is too much i think... The pictures are all [bad]! no picture came out good at all... everything was blurred and every shot was so bright, everybody was white. No part of the pictures are in clear focus. Would return this camera right away. Olympus disappointed me on this one... I love olympus camera, had three 35mm Olympus cameras and they were all great. that's not the case when I switched to APS camera by Olympus.I don't know if the Newpic Zoom 90 is better than this one. I called olympus and they said the I Zoom 3000 is better than the Newpic Zoom 90, because it is newer. I can't find any online store now that sells newpic 90 brand new, if there is, it is way too much expensive, but its reviews were cool.This camera is NOT RECOMMENDED! stay away.

Fantastic Find!!
|
I am one that searches the internet for the ultimate best buy. I can sometimes search for day, sometimes weeks until I finally pull the trigger. I admit, my photos sit printed in envelopes for months sometims just because I ran out of photo album space. This time I vowed to find an album that would help me keep up with my hundreds of photos. I came across this album on Amazon and initially thought it was a really great buy. After all it offers 500 spots for photos. After a week or so of research I confidentaly concluded this is BY FAR the best deal out there. I bought TWO. The albums are a beautiful quality leather and hold my hundreds of photos!!! i would HIGHLLY reccommend this album. You won't be dissapaointed. best price - best value- best quality. Go for it!

soulless
|
Good cinematography. Meandering script. Very unlike-able main character. What are we supposed to care about? A child is in grief. But oh! There's an uptight gal in need of a lusty man in a truck. Hmm! It doesn't help that Zeta is such a bland, bad actress. From the opening monologue until the end, she's cardboard. Also bad for Zeta -- the fact that she's upstaged in every scene she shares with Breslin.

In a Month

That's about how long it took me to read this book. Not because I'm slow, just because I did not enjoy it. If I didn't know any better I would have assumed this book was Adler's first attempt at a novel. But it isn't. Well, the main characters are likeable enough. I'll give her that. Except for the alcoholic old woman. She added nothing to the book. The plot is weak, there is too much dialouge, and too little effort put in. By the end of Ed's killer is revealed. I couldn't really recall why he wanted Ed dead. But I didn't care. I was just happy that I was done and that I could move on to something better. Do yourself a favor and pass on this book.

more modeling concepts
|
This is not a new cover on an older book. Having enjoyed Beltrami's first book I was glad to see a second. The new continues the subject of modeling not math. Well written, the author's book ties the conceptual difficulites of the subjects with the necessary math to get the point accross and guide the reader to new frontiers of insight again in the sense of the physical model not the math. This is a very important point! One does not lose sight of the over-all objective as with some math intensive proof types. The beauty of the work is getting the necessary across with the least. One disappointment though. The book was to short. I hope the author continues another work. Perhaps some more indepth of previous covered material. All examples and problems are easily solved in Mathcad, which already has the depth but sometimes not the explanation.

It won't power on just after the gurantee expires!!!

I bought a sony PCG-GRZ630 one and a half year ago, so did one of my friends. We were attracted by its lower price, large memory and large screen ..., and so on. Half a year later I met the first problem, the integrated Lan card didn't work properly. It was automatically disconnected occasionaly for unknown reasons. One year later, just after the gurantee expires, my friend's GRZ630 failed to power on, no matter how hard we try!! Just a few days ago, I had the same problem with mine. It was terrible! Fortunately, I got it powered on again after exchanging the position of the memory sticks. Anyway, it is the worst experience with this laptop. Just a nightmare!!Suggestion: NEVER buy a sony laptop any more!!!

Wonderful, 7865XL beats my razor any time.
|
To achive the maximum closeness, you must follow the instruction from the small hand book included in the package. At first, you will not see a dramatic change but keep using it and your facial hair will grow to be shaved by 7865XL faster and comfortable every time. My facial hair is thick and a common razor's blade last about 3 to 4 weeks average use. The 7865XL does it in no time and close to my face. My face ends uplike a baby's bottom. The first use always take time, but as you progress shaving over and over on your face it get faster. Depends on your skin and your hair growth too. I can shave in less than 5 min and I have side burns that the combs can go around the edges; of course with some help from my hand. As I hold the hair upward, the electric razor does it job. What more can I say? You gotta try it to prove yourself wrong. And remember, follow the instructions from the small booklet.

FANTASTIC!!
|
We love this gate!! The hands-free aspect is terrific even when your hands aren't full carrying something. It just opens so easily and quickly! And, although the box says it's good until age 24 months or so, we've had 3, 4, and 5 year olds over who aren't able to open it. (The tighter you make the tension, the more pressure is required on the pedal in order to open the gate.)Our doorway was extra wide and required the gate plus 3 extensions. It's still totally stable.We love too that, because it's tension mounted, there will be no holes in our doorframe when we (eventually!) don't need to barricade our children in!It's a terrific gate and we'd highly recommend it. We're just sad that it doesn't work at the top of our stairs (the bar across the bottom would be a potential trip hazard). Otherwise, we would have bought two of these gates!!

Amazing Book!
|
This is a funny story, and you will never know what's going to happen next. Amelia tells absorbing stories in the book. For example in The Good luck Story. A girl found a penny. She picked it up for good luck and put it in her pocket, but the pocket had a hole. I'm not going to spoil the end of the story. In this journal it's Amelia's birthday. But I'm not going to tell you what she got for her birthday, either! Also something happened Amelia's school. I can't tell you any endings. Her best friend Leah asked if she can look in Amelia's notebook. Amelia didn't know what to say to Leah, yes or no. In the last part it will tell you. So that means you have to buy the book to see what happens. I give this book four stars because a few parts were kind of boring, but most of the book was really good.

Outstanding female action figure
|
Outstanding female action figure. Great set of accessories, amazing artiuclation, excellent physical attributes with great posing ability. Downsides: the shoulder holster keeps coming undone, it is difficult to remove and replace boots, in particular as one of the feet tends to curl under, making it either impossible to put the boot on or will break. Hint - use a tiny dot of lotion, lubricate inside of boot, it will help it slip back on. Make sure that the foot is not curling under. Otherwise, she's terrific. Its hard to find any good female action figures in a Barbie world. More like this would be terrific. Great deal at this price. A must-have item. However, she may not be appropriate for younger boys (or girls) - 12 and older would be best.

"Hint - use a tiny dot of lotion, lubricate inside of boot, it will help it slip back on.",

Decent phone
|
I needed a business phone with the following requirements:1. 900Mhz so as not to interfere with the 2.4Ghz wireless internet (most 5.8Ghz phones actually use the 2.4Ghz spectrum for receiving).2. Caller ID display on phone itself.3. Speakerphone on phone itself.4. Normal sized, rather than the tiny ones they are pushing these days.5. Adjustable ringer volume (hi/low/off), on both phone and base.It met all of these requirements. The range is kind of short, and the optional belt clip does not work all that well. Also if you press the hold button by accident (which I seem to do frequently) it's a pain to turn it off. Finally, the buttons wore out after about a year, so I had to buy a new one. Other than those minor hassles, this is a good phone. I would recommend getting one but the only place to find it is ebay. Search for KX-TC1713B or KX-TC1713.

I stand in awe at a sheer masterpiece.
|
I cannot believe this book. Those who have read it will not be surprised to hear me share that I am in awe and am only in the first chapter. It took me two weeks just to puruse the introduction (puruse, with it's true meaning of "to read carefully") because it was so incredible and rich I just couldn't stop reading it. The part about repentance was so amazing and freeing, and the way he described upholding and cherishing godly committments which are often assumed to be mere leagalizm, was absolutely beautiful. I was stunned. My only worry was how he could keep up his incredible, fresh, and stirring style for an entire book? Could one person truly posess such talent, creativity and ability to skillfully exert such brilliance with his words? Wow, I think he just might. God has gifted this man with a rare talent. I am online to order more copies to share... Truly, a masterpiece.

spring for the elite
|
We first bought the elite and we love it. Thinking a second on another floor in the house would be a good idea, we grabbed this product. The differences, for 10$, are pronounced.The first two differences are quite cosmetic: the genie is a few inches shorter and it does not have a foot pedal. I didn't think this would be a huge issue. Boy was I wrong. This product forces you push the diapers through the opening. Now this doesn't sound bad until you realize that the mechanism used to keep the smell in is very stiff and requires some pressure. This really isn't the most hygienic method of diaper disposal. In fact in really messy diaper and you'll most likely want to shift the bag down some.The rest of the product is ok. Its quite easy to remove the diapers from the product. The razor to cut the bags is fine. The bag replacement system is well designed and easy to replace. However the fact you need to push the diaper through the pail's opening makes this product near worthless.

If I Wanted Proselytizing I Would Have Joined The Church
|
When I look for a book within a certain genre, I try to respect the reviews, interpret the bestseller status, and as a final test read the synopsis. I feel that this book's authors (and its promoters) have resorted to a cheap brand of "bait and switch" in order to sell books. A thriller should be just that - not a crossover into religious preaching. I have to agree with the previous review: the potential for great storytelling gets bogged down by blatant attempts to proselytize. "Gee, maybe that church thing and God and religion, I took all wrong. Let me stroll on down to church and join up." Please! I take my religious beliefs too seriously to be so loose about them.I tried to read this book. I really did. My first warning should have been that this was on the "Religion" shelf instead of "Fiction." I give it one star because I somehow managed to make it to page 80.

I think Britney made a wise decsion by leaving this group
|
I really like this CD but I must say even though they have Lou Pearlman and Justin Timberlake's mom behind them they will not get that far. It makes me sad to say that but you should really buy this CD they can actually sing a lot better then The Spice Girls and their songs are edgy and have a lot of um mature themes. Well maybe not all of them just www.fan-ta-see. That song is very um intresting. It reminded me of *N SYNC's "Digital Get Down" except more mature. Their style reminds me of a group like *N SYNC because their songs are really good to dance to even some of the ballads. I love the song "Beep Beep". With the right promotion and the right market they should get father then they are now. Most people don't even know who they are. Oh well. Good Luck Girls.

A Humorous Look Into the New Dads
|
This is an older book by Bill Cosby. The book takes a humorous look at the nature of fatherhood in this world. A lot has changed for dads over the last few decades. At one time, a father had little interactions with his kids, but today a father is expected to be a "good dad." Cosby highlights this difficult journey. The sections in this book are wonderful. They are funny and true to life. One of the best aspects of this work are the illustrations that you will gain. You will have a ton of material for some sermons on parenting and fatherhood. He throws in a lot of Biblical references which makes the material even better. For a light read, and for some inspiration, and maybe a little understanding, this is a great book. Cosby is a genius, and his mark is throughout these pages.

TRULY MIXED REVIEW FOR TWO REASONS
|
This is truly a great story but this book is too small! WAY TOO SMALL TO READ ALOUD TO A CLASS!I ordered this book for my classroom but it measures only 3.5" by 3.5"! It really should state in the description how extremely small it is. I recommend that you do not buy it and look for the version that is big enough for you to use as a shared reading size book for your classroom! In all honesty, it's a SUPERB STORY, but this book is WAAAAAAAAY TOO small for you to read to a child to see the pictures in the book! Seriously. Get a ruler and make a box 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches! The book is that little! THAT is why it is only 1.99. Shame on Amazon.com for not putting the size of this teeny tiny book somewhere in the description. OH, by the way, they used a HUGE box to ship it in too! SUCH A WASTE OF SHIPPING MATERIAL!

An amazing heartfelt insight into the truth about depression
|
I could not help but be comforted by the the words of William Styron in Darkness Visible. As his novels intriqued me and delighted me this account of his experience with depression gave me support. It made me realize that no one is safe from this dreaded affliction. What I felt Styron put into words. He made my craziness feel a little less crazy. Styron is a wordsmith of the highest caliber. This book should be read especially by families of those suffering from depression. It gives such vivid descriptions of what it is really like to suffer from depressssion. Sometimes it becomes more real when one so esteemed can express what it is really like. He made me feel just a little more normal and understood. I am sorry I waited so long to read this selfless and inspiring account of a disease so misunderstood. Thank you for your honesty Mr. Styron

A disgrace to the Trilogy.
|
This movie is all that is stated above: a disgrace. I find it offensive that someone could actually think that this piece of over-hyped, 100% special effects, worthless piece of trash could EVER come close to the original trilogy. There was no story, no development of plot and horrible acting. Character development (ESPECIALLY that of Darth Maul) was nonexistent. Jar-Jar was an unnecessary addition. It seems like the whole movie was made on a computer. When other movies not carrying the Star Wars name are made like this, they are laughed at. Count me out from the people in line to see Episode 2: The Garbage Continues. Lucas peaked when he made Return of the Jedi, which is in my opinion the best and only great Star Wars movie. I give one star for the mere fact that Lucas was brave enough to send this piece of trash into the world. The Star Wars saga as we know it ended in 1982. No SW movie will EVER come close to ROTJ.

Works, but fragile.
|
Well, I've used this, and I also used the Nokia earbud that came with my phone. One thing I've noticed is the connector to Nokia phones is fragile. I dropped my phone once when it was connected and the quality noticably declined (same with the included earbud). After that I had people had a hard time hearing me, just as another reviewer had mentiond. I also had the problem with loosing the gel covers. I went through 3 of them, and they repeatedly fell off. The last failure mode is the earpiece itself. It got caught and completely fell apart. I am using a retractable earbud now that has a standard plug with a Nokia adapter. Much better quality than I ever had with either this or the included earbud. Also, the Nokia adapter is replacable, so I've eliminated one failure mode.

This movie rocks!
|
This has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen! Jodie Foster delivers an amazing performance as the beautiful Meg Altman. She seems pretty dumb in the beginning, but believe me, she's not so dumb. This is one of Jodie Foster's best movies ever made! Kristen Stewarts plays the role of Meg's daughter Sarah who is a brilliant girl and also a diabetic. The robbers that invade Meg's house are pretty hilarious! They have no clue what to do to get into the Panic Room. They will crack you up! I mean come on, you have Dwight Yoakam playing a bad guy. How funny is that??? If you like a good thriller, this is the movie for you. If you enjoy Jodie Foster as much s I do, then you will also want to see this movie! I hope you enjoy it!

This is truly amazing!
|
I've had this device for a month now and I am amazed. I am still learning what it's capable of. It can not only record from any source, but can also be played on just about anything with inputs. I can download directly to the device as it acts as an external hard drive. The controls are easy to use, playlists are easy to set up and menus are also easy to set up and use.Aside from its weight, I can find nothing wrong with it. Sure, you could spend more and get an IPod, but why would you want to when this device is so much less expensive? I take mine just about everywhere I go and I really couldn't be happier. I store all the best of my music and I can also keep pictures and other files on it, which is really useful as my hard drive is pretty near full. I love this thing. I love its' ease of use, versatility and its sound. If you're thinking of getting a hard-drive MP3 player, I really think this is the one to get.

A Very Weak Album, But It Dose Have Its Moments!
|
O.K. I was terribly disapointed by this album. After the success of "Time" I was hoping this would be as good or better. Unfortunatly I was wrong. ....But this Ablum dose have one good song. Kutulu(The Mad Arab Part 2) is one of the best Mercyful Fate songs ever. ....10.Kutulu(The Mad Arab Part 2)(1,000,000 Stars)-Here is the strong point of the album. This song is awsome. It has a nice rhythm, and good guitar, and great lyrics. It just blows the origional "The Mad Arab" out of the water. This is great music. It is one of the best new Mercyful Fate songs ever. ........

Still Saying Good-bye
|
I remember in the 80's, when the Eagles broke up. There was a quote in People Magazine from Glenn Frey. It said something to the effect of, "The Eagles are a young band. You'll never see us getting back together for the 'Lost Youth and Greed Tour'." I guess you should never say never. They fire Don Felder and still carry on with this tour. Sorry, it has turned into a Vegas act. How many side musicians do you need, anyway? They are still the single most boring band I have ever seen live. And I first saw them in 1977 on the Hotel California tour. The two stars are for Joe Walsh (rocks!) and for the sound.

One of my favorites
|
I loved The Acid House. I've read each of the stories multiple times. Welsh takes you on an amazing journey with each of these stories, as the impossible becomes possible. Anything can happen, no matter how warped it is. Your mind is messed with, especially if you are in a drug induced state. The stories actually talk to you. They come to life. You know exactly what Welsh is talking about, no matter how deep he goes. He goes pretty deep, which makes you feel very intelligent since you understand it. The plot twists are genius, and surprise the hell out of you. This is one hilarious book, full of cynicism, irony, wit, mockery of humanity, and dead on reality. An inspiration to my own writing.

Michael Moore is paranoid, narcissistic, selfish, a complete hypocrite, and a liar. He completely manipulates facts, misuses information, and downright lies. If you blindly trust his work you are supporting a man who seeks to satisfy only one agenda -- his own.How many of you, like me at the time, after watching his movie Bowling for Columbine wanted to personally go to Charlton Heston's home and beat him into the ground? Well, if so, you are totally in the wrong. There are bountiful discrepancies in the documentary, so much that it renders the whole thing complete bunk. That is but one in his overall repertoire of totally misleading crap. If you want the real picture of Moore's self-promoting, loaded-with-junk works, read the book Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man by David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke. Take it from me, a former Michael Moore fan . . . he's not worth the paper he wipes with.

this only works well IF you put it on well. i read all the reviews and i was deciding to buy it or not buy it...let's get straight to the facts.you will not get all the dust out. you will have some on your screen. just staring at you. YES, this sucks. but if you do it right, they will hardly be noticeable. same with the air bubbles. the reviews said they go away on their own, so i'm still waiting for that.as much as the reviews said you dont have a second try, to me, i did. i actually put it on 3 times on the touch screen. here's a tip:get some really sticky tape with you, so you can get the dust out as you put it on. this is the most help i can give you.edit:im proud to say that all air bubbles are gone...after reapplying both again.this thing WORKS, as long as you do it right.

BAD BAD BAD!
|
this is the worst computer book I have ever read. They don't teach you anything at all. All they do is tell you to type in code that they created, and don't tell you what to do. Then they say that they have additional code on their website. It's hard to find the code. And once you get the code, it doesn't work. This is the worst book ever. Please do not waste your money on it. Even the "For Dummies" books are better. It only has one chapter that teaches you how to program in C++ w/o using their code... and they don't teach you much at all. Don't waste your time or money.

One of the greatest groups.
|
The first time I saw or heard Nickel Creek was on CMT. I didn't really pay much attention. After a few years, I saw another one of their music videos for This Side. It seemed to be on TV continuously. I downloaded the song and listened to it all the time. Then I decided to buy the CD, and it has been one of the greatest CDs I've ever had. The music just seems to reach every part of your body and completely relaxes you. The instruments and vocals are superb. The first time I listened to it, I immediatly loved it and found myself becoming terribly anxious to get home and listen to it after a day out. However, if you are not up to opening your mind and giving this music a chance if you don't like this type, then I wouldn't buy it. But if you're willing to listen to it and all ready like bluegrass then I definetly think you should buy the CD. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

The charaters stayed with me
|
Contrary to some reviews, I did not find that the setting out shined the the character development, although their is not much of a plot. The setting and the turmoil in India that are featured in the book are mysterious. So too are the characters. While they are not all fully developed, the fact that they are not, made the book at the more compelling. The reader can almost feel him or herself as one of them. You would never really know a fellow guest in a bed and breakfast all that well during a short stay and that is just what Payne gives us. A partial view into the lives of people who pass like ships in the night. We may want to know more about them- but Payne leaves that up to the readers imagination. I ended the book wanted to know these people better. I have since thought about them. To me, that makes for an memorable reading experience.

Atrocious product
|
I purchased FrontPage to create our company webpage. I am a novice at web page design, so I thought this product would be a good buy. Not so. (1) The package does not come with a manual! Instead, you get a booklet with a very general overview. If you need more detail you have to go out and purchase another book. I didn't like this. I looked into the book from which the booklet was culled and it read like an astrophysics text: Too much information, wholly irrelevant to my goal. Not user-friendly at all. I discovered some other books that were more readable, but then: (2) I was able to produce only very crude pages with this program. I thought this was my fault, until I got Dreamweaver and cranked out some beautiful pages with relatively little effort.

Returned it for a Marathon
|
We had a Marathon with our oldest and LOVED it! I figured the Decathlon would be even better for our new baby boy. The pads were nice, but the straps were IMPOSSIBLE to loosen and tighten. My husband is a fairly large man, and it was difficult for even him to yank on them. He took apart the straps, re-threaded them, etc. to no avail. Returned for second Decathlon, to find the same problem. Finally returned for another Marathon. Again, LOVE the Marathon. Never looked back to the mess that was the Decathlon. Called Britax, they weren't helpful. Amazon bent over backwards to refund. Amazon's customer service, again is amazing!!!

Pinzon 190 gram flannel
|
Great price, great comfort,We have another set of flannel sheets...Pinzon 200 gram. I honestly can not tell the difference between the 190 and the 200. We machine wash and dry and have not had any problems. The sheets come out soft and fluffy and smooth. I wanted the dark color. All of our other sets are light colors and prints. I'm tired of sleeping with flowers, birds, stripes.(sorry that was an attempt at some humor) We decided we wanted to try something different with the darker color. No regrets. I'm sure it is just psychological but the bed feels warmer. Dark colors may not be to everyone's likings but our next set will also be dark. However I think we'll stick to the lighter shades and prints for the summer.

Berkeley Square DVD
|
I paid $26.99 for this DVD. I feel when I pay that much for a DVD, I expect to receive a quality DVD. This was unbelievable. It was so grainy, it was hard toview. The beginning credit looked like something that had been pirated. I am very disappointed. I buy a lot of DVD's (and other items from Amazon) andhave never felt like I had wasted my money like I feel on this one. I did call and the person I spoke with apologized and sent me another one. Imagine howsurprised I was to see that it had no better quality than the first one. It truly looked like someone made copies of the original.Because of the poor quality of the picture, we could only watch it for bits at a time. The story itself was very good and we would love to have seen in inits full ,clear quality.

Venice: Why so unknown in their home country?
|
Venice exists of the 4 Lennon Brothers. They've named their band to Venice Beach, a town in southern California. This is their fourth cd, and to me it's a brilliant album. This is westcoast rock! This sounds refreshing. The catchy "Think Again", the sultry "Sweet Aloha" and the boosting title song, "Welcome To The Rest Of Your Life".To give you a decent impression of their music, Venice is often compared to either Crosby Stills & Nash or the Eagles. Not unjust, it's the same style. But they're a better vocal group, for sure! Even David Crosby admits this, and who am I to contradict him?Venice are better known in the Nederlands than in their native country. It's time for a change. They deserve their breaktrough. I think this is their best record so far. I rate it with 5 stars and a plus!

Stress Relieving!
|
I love this product! This lemon oil is amazing. The smell is uplifting so it relaxes me and makes me feel happy. I think this is food grade lemon oil so you can use it in lemonade and for cooking, but I have only used it in my hair (with coconut oil as a carrier). I just got into aromatherapy to relax myself because I didn't want to take meds. I bought an amber vial with a dropper cap and dumped this into it. It makes it easier for using since only a drop or two is needed for the effect. I think this 4 ounce bottle should last me a while. What I also love is that it is bottled in a glass bottle versus a plastic bottle. I don't know about you, but I prefer glass over plastic containers because of the chemicals in plastic. I will continue to buy this product!!

Monty Pythom for kids with a moral.
|
The french guys at the top of the wall were too much! I felt like I was watching a cartoon version of Monty Python's Holy Grail - only this one had a purpose, a story, and a great moral. My son is transfixed with this video each time we play it. He asks for it above all others. I am truly shocked as he used to ask for full-feature Disney movies. Now, he begs for VeggieTales. Some of the humor makes me laugh out loud, too. When the squash (?) looks up at the french peas and says, "We're not crazy, you know. Our God told us to do it," I just fall out! And my sons laughs hysterically each time they sing "Going to the Promised Land" and the veggie pops up saying, "sounds sticky!"
