good as a benchmark for movies that exist
I have never felt the need to review a movie before. A movie has never been good enough. This one was bad enough. It is just pathetic. It doesn't even make fun of itself. The lead hunk actor has a wide gap in his front teeth? If you want something campy, try Logan's Run. This movie is just an insult. Thought the doctor actress 'Katherine' was pretty and the acting chops of the Brit as someone said before looked like he at least had a class in acting. The rest is just fascinatingly annoying.I recommend seeing this movie only as a benchmark. You will find it painful, but at least you will be able to compare all other movies to it.

Ghosts Of The Abyss 3D or Not 3D
I am a very serious Titanic Buff. I saw the Imax 3D Version of This in 2 theatres. Las Vegas and Rochester, NY (My Hometown).Here's the real scoop... Disney/Imax chose not to release this in 3D because of synch problems in Imax Theatres. I too experienced bad synch in both Theatres 2000 miles apart. This must have been a common problem. For my Money producing the DVD NOT in 3D was probably a wise choice for Disney to avoid any home problems which are usually compounded with the lack of proper home equipment. The DVD is sensational. The Underwater shots and inside the Titanic Video is simply incredible and breathtaking. Highest Recommend!******* There is a French 3D version available which is also excellent but I only recommend this for serious 3D buffs who have Shutter Glasses and their 3D home system in order. Contact me for more info on where to get this in 3D. [email protected]

Very, Very, Very Disppointed - Comedy - Bah!!!
I was very disappointed with this movie. I figured with Jim Carey in it, it would be funny. What was the story line? What was happening during the movie? Who rated this a funny, romatic, movie? It was not funny or romantic. I never laughed once. I wish I had read a review about this movie, then I never would have bought it. I do not recommend this movie, save your money. But then, out there, there may be someone that understands this movie. Please let people know. I will look forward to this review. Sorry about this review but you are supposed to be honest.

You get what you pay for, Good Luck!
I bought this product for work related application. I could understand the directions, which were as clear as could be. I stirred the two parts then mixed them and applied as directed with a foam roller. This stuff has the consistency of skim milk. It drips, runs and sags like old school polyurethane. It needs to be stated that I have painted houses, and worked in a spraybooth environment for years, so it's not too hard for me to use. It has to be used up so, I bought plenty for the task and went to it. It really has been inconsistent, some whiteboards look great and some stink. I use the same technique every time, so product quality or age must be the variable. I wish I could recommend this product but really can't do so. As the old saying goes, your mileage may vary. Good Luck!

If there was a negative scale then this book series would get it
Parents beware!!!!!My 11 year old brought this book home. My mother (his grandmother read this book in about an hour) and immediately upon finishing it scowled and informed me that this was one of the most disturbing books she had ever read. I then read it as well. I am terrified that the public elementary school which would allow this type of material in the library for our children to read. Honestly, it's evil, dripping with evil. The adult characters physically abuse, emotional abuse, and generally plot evil intentions upon newly orphaned children. A highlight for me was the evil caregiver dangling a baby sister who was bound and caged like an animal, hung from a tall tower, until the 14 year sister agrees to marry him in a fowl attempt to gain the children's trust fund. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!Not only was it not appropriate for a child, it was frightening and unappealing at any age.Don't buy this garbage. Don't allow it in your home.

Couldn't imagine a better anti-war book
The obvious objection is: what about Catch-22? Yes, but that protagonist's motives are quite clear. Svejk, though, is hard to figure out - and here's the beauty of it - because he is so shallow. It's Hasek's way of exposing the hypocrisies of authoritarianism. That sounds too bookish. He pokes fun at everything. So why only four stars? The translation is difficult to warm up to, especially in the dialogue. Nevertheless, I encourage you to read this book, and perhaps even model yourself after Svejk. Anti-hero? Think again. Or don't (think again, that is), and see if the outcome is any different. That, I believe, is Hasek's point.

GOOD & GROSS!
First off, if you can not stand the sight of a bug, this is not for you. I am a horticulture student who loves plants but hates pests! I got this book for a class and it is great! All gardeners shoud have this book close by at all times! It is an indespensible refrence for anyone who wants to have a happy healthy garden. I love the way the book is organized by a "Gallery of Symptoms" in the begining. This is a section of close up pictures of leafs, fruits, nuts, vegetables and flowers with all the pest (disese and bug)problems I ever (never) wanted to see. It is so disgusting that my friends will not go near the book! However, I am excited to try the various non-chemical controls the book readily provides. A holostic aproach seems to be the theme of the A-Z directory in the second half which gives me comfort in gardening... not just for me but the birds, bees and other GOOD critters in the garden. Happy hunting! (Slugs here in the N.W.)

Baby will SLEEP
We have been swaddling our 8 week old since she came home from the hospital. We tried the Swaddle Me, but I guess she was too small (7 lbs.) We were using the Miracle Blanket which we loved. However, as she got stronger, she was able to kick and squirm her way out. I got worried about her safety with a loose blanket in the crib, but she really liked being swaddled. I took out the Swaddle Me that I received at a shower and decided to try it again. It worked like a champ, and she is sleeping 7 hours at night now!! I stretch it so that it's as tight as possible. I bought another one, and the velcro for the feet is bigger - even better to hold it down. We LOVE it and highly recommend!!

dont waste your money
The Belgariad and The Mallorean are some of my favorite books. The next series was okay. The characters did not change but the story was good. This series sucks on many levels. The witty banter is present but the characters are one dimensional and almost all the same. There is no plot to speak of. They all gather, set up a fort and a natural disaster (1 of four can you guess??earth, air, water, and fire) saves the day. They spend most of the time discussing how the bug people evolve over and over and over again. Okay I get it already!!! There was no intrigue, no trying to figure things out, no quests, no fear that they might lose or that any of the characters were in danger. In short these books had nothing interesting. I had to force my way through the first three books and I have no intention of reading the fourth as I'm pretty sure of what is going to happen and I can probably fill in the dialogue too. I feel totally ripped off.

Crazy book
This book is one of the most frustratingly amazing books in the world! I cannot believe that I made it through, but I did. When I was finished, I was exhausted, perplexed, and startled. At first glance the book looks like a novel, but it reads like an array of short stories interlaced. The scenes jump around so much that you get the real idea of what goes on in the mind of a heroin addict. Burroughs is one of the most masterful poets in the world. My recommendation is do not try to read this book to find a plot, understand the characters, or make sense of what happens. Just read the book word for word, sentence for sentence, and paragraph for paragraph. Take it at face value and you will enjoy the book thoroughly. Try to think too deeply, you will not be able to take it, and the book will anger you to no end. Definitely a good read!

Not recommendable for any reason
Writing this poorly should be considered illegal. I cannot think of anything good to say about this "novel" other than it does, at some point, end. But that is not necessarily true, considering there are over ten books of this insipid drivel. The characters are 2-dimensional. The main character's name is Rayford Steele for the love of God! I enjoy post-apocalyptic stories, and I thought an interpretaion of Revelations sould not be bad. I was wrong. The plot is very contrived and predictable. Not to mention the "hidden" agenda of the authors to prosetylize and convert you. All in all, there is nothing good about this novel. Avoid it at all costs.

Worth every penny
This seatbelt extender was worth every penny. Used it on my trip to St. Petersburg, Fl. I kept it in my purse and when boarding the plan would discreetly pull it out and attach it. No one noticed and I was able to buckle in safe and securely. Then when we landed I'd detach and discreetly put it back in my purse, no one the wiser. I was great! I will use this on every trip I take in the future. The only issue I had was the size to order. I'm a 3X and I had ordered a Large which was way too big. I just cut 1/2 of the belt off, and ended up only using a small amount of the amount that was left. When selling the seatbelt it might make it easier for the purchaser if the size indicated went more along with the size of the person. For instance, I'm thinking a person 2X to 3X would use a small(?) I'm not sure how it would work. But it would definitely make it much easier to purchase. It's a definite thumbs up for me!

Started Off Great, Downhill From There......
Javascript Bible is a huge paradox, and a huge disappointment. I'm the typical purchaser of the book--HTML-literate looking to learn Javascript. It came highly recommended, so I immediately purchased it. In retrospect, I should have bought Javascript Sourcebook instead--I learned HTML with that superb "Sourcebook" series, and i should have stuck with it. The Javascript Bible starts off promising for the beginner, and introduces JS well. But it then jumps into hundreds of objects and functions and doesnt explain their context and placement. I was lost. Another reviewer here said you'll get lost after Chap4--boy, is he ever right! After Chap4, the inexperienced JS programmer will be absolutely befuddled and clueless. To its credit, the book offers lots of code examples; but it doesn't explain how and why the code was written. I'm very disappointed. In short, if you've never programmed in JS before, this book won't teach you. No way.

Very Dissappointing
As a huge fan of the show I was excited to hear that I would finnally be able to get my Dark Angel fix after many years of withdrawl. Sadly, I was let down.First, this is not a good book. Its badly written and the descriptions are very clinical and wooden, it lacks the passion that the show had.Secondly, It doesn't match up with the TV Show. I'm really supposed to believe the OC was in the military, sorry, no way. I also don't buy that Logan knew another x5 before Max. There were other problems too. Maybe I'm getting a little nit-picky here, but OC was from Los Angeles in the series, not Texas. Finnally what was that ridiculous 10-page kiss-up job about what a great movie Titanic was. Sure, it was a great movie, but this is supposed to be about Dark Angel.All in all I was very dissappointed. I still haven't finished the book. And I don't intend to.

These are great!!!!!
I can't say enough about these pads. I have a mini Dachshund. She is home alone everyday as we work long hours. I couldn't see throwing money away on the disposable pads so decided to try these. I got one to start with and couldn't believe how well it worked. Our little baby took to it in no time at all. I bought the second one for her and that way I always have one down for her. I simply throw them in the washer and dryer with detergent and a little bleach. They come out looking and smelling great. There is no odor or stain! There is never any leaking thru either! I have been using these for over a year and am still just as pleased with them as when I bought them. In fact, we have just gotten another puppy and I have decided that since these are getting a lot more use now, I probably should get a couple of more. Of course, my original two still look as good as they did when I first got them.

Jasmine by Takamine S34C
For the price, this acoustic is hard to beat. Action on mine is nice and low. No fret buzz issues at all. Decent sound. Tuners actually hold very well, better than I expected at this price. The workmanship on mine is quite good for less than $100.00. However, the frets could use a little filing on the ends along both sides of neck - but certainly still playable. I will try my hand at that little project with a file I purchased at the Stewart McDonald website when I restring it next time.Remember, this is Not a $500 - $1000 guitar. Good for a take anywhere guitar - beach, campout, ...and hey if something happens to it you are not out much and can get another. Also, great as a starter to find out if you really want to stick with learning guitar.If you are doing recording or live gigs, this may not be for you, otherwise just a fun, low priced guitar to have fun with. (As always, good strings keep the tone sounding good.) Rock On & GOD BLESS!!!

Horrible Interface/Great content
While the content may be great, the interface is a joke. The whole application is done 100% in Java. This has some very negative side effects. The worst problem is that the Java makes the entire interface extremely sluggish, even on a high end machine. Additionally, standard Windows interface features don't exist, like the ability to scroll text with the mouse wheel. Also, there are no configuration options whatsoever, except the ability to change the text size to one of three sizes. The font used is blurry. All fonts are my computer are crystal clear, but this one is blurry. Therefore, the only way to read the articles is to set the text size to medium. Also, the pictures tend to be too small. The interface itself is horrid comared to even MS Encarta 1995 edition, which is sad. That's too bad, because the content is head and shoulders above Encarta, and there is an article on just about everything you can imagine.

Hoop De Doo
I have a 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. We discovered The Wiggles on The Disney Channel last spring. My granddaughter was immediately charmed, much to our dismay. The adult s here found them really annoying. But, it wasn't very long until we could sing along with all the old favorites.This video was the first we purchased. It holds her attention all the way through. She is usually not wanting for it to end. We also own Wiggly Safari and Dorothy's Magical Birthday Adventure. The latter is more in the format of a real movie. It is very entertaining in a Beatles "Help" sort-of-way. So far we love every one of the videos. Thank goodness for the Wiggles...anything that keeps a 2 year old busy for an hour at a time had my undying gratitude!

Good story. Interesting characters. Believable plot line. Not quite a five-star keeper, but no complaints. Very enjoyable!PLOT: Malcolm, second-son to a Duke, is trying to raise his daughter alone. He's bitter because his first wife was untrue. It's hard to be a single dad, because little Sarah seems touched in the head and far too absorbed in her odd little painting projects. The servants think she is crazy or retarded. Malcolm cannot find a governess with compassion. However, little Sarah and Malcolm bump into Natalie at the village pub. Sarah bonds with Natalie immediately, so Malcolm hires her to be Sarah's governess. We go from there...It's a fun read!The sequel to this book,Under A Lucky Star, was not as good, but you get to see Malcolm, Natalie, and Sarah again.Ps. Farr's best book isThe Fortune Hunter-- an outstanding 5-star regency romance.

Fairy Lovers Don't Miss This One!
So.......Beautiful.........So........ Magical.......Every turn of the page is like a new two paged mural, which there are 13 of these. They are so stunning it is hard to focus your eyes on the reading of the story. Which is also magical and fun. I loved that the text rhymed. It takes you on a journey from a little girls room into the fairy realm. Each page is a fun challenge to find an item a fairy dropped and lost within the picture. Even my five year old grandson had fun helping me find these well hidden objects. It was challenging, but we did find them all. Just when you think the fun is over you get a surprise at the end of the story to go back and find more things. A joyful book for ALL AGES!! Would buy this book for fairy lovers, of any age.

No no no no
If ever there was a show where all copies should be destroyed and never seen again, it's Doogie Howser. Even Harris would attest to this. No matter what he does or what movie he's in, he'll always be Doogie Howswer. Remember when you saw him years back on Starship Troopers? What was the first thing that went through your mind? It was probably "Holy crap! It's Doogie Howser!!"This show was assinine, even for the 80's. Take an annoying boy genious doctor, put him with an Italian kid who portrays every Italian stereotype proudly, and you got a disaster of a show.Remember the rap song "Docta Doogie! Doc Docta Doogie"? Then they's show Harris scolding the viewer and preaching about safe sex? Oh this show was just the worst. It should never have gotten past the pilot.

Excellent but misses one major point.
The "Boy Code" and the idea that "boys must be toughened up" has existed for generations. But, in the past, there was a reason for this. As a young man in the 30s, it was explained to me in this manner. I had to prepare myself for entry into the world where I would be responsible for a family and their well being. Such a life would lead to many encounters requiring decisions. When emotions take over, reason goes out the window. Therefore I must learn to surpress my emotions and control them. When there is a reason for "toughing up" the process can be endured with little problem. But today, the reson no longer exists. Boys and girls are taught that women will stand on their own requiring no help from a man. As a result, the procces of "toughening up" becomes a meaningless tourture endured without reason.(wish you had a spell-check with this.)

PURRRRRRRRFECT!!
When I read "Knight of a Trillion Stars", I thought, Wow, this is a great book, but probably a fluke. Then I read "Rejar", and I thought, WOW! I GOTTA GO BUY "HIGH ENERGY", which I did! Needless to say, when I came upon "Mine To Take", I immediately purchased it and devoured each page. This is my favorite one! Gian's character was not only sexy, and I do mean SEXY, but he was funny and kind. I really couldn't put it down! Cats and me just didn't get along before I started reading Dara Joy's books. Now I view them in a totally different way!!! I can't wait for Traed's story! His strong character has to have a story of his very own!!! I'm waiting....

Alice Hoffman is Extremely Talented!!
This author is a wordsmith. She can describe sites, sounds and emotions that will make you weep. Her choice of words are poetry. Every paragraph touches you. You feel the emotions of the characters are written as if they are your own. I'm trying not to sound too sappy. I don't want to discourage anyone from reading "Second Nature." You will definitely not be sorry. I myself have never purchased an audio book. I prefer the written word and my own imagination. READ THIS BOOK!! I WILL BE READING MANY MORE FOR ALICE HOFFMAN'S BOOKS.

Met All My Expectations
I researched several Fogless mirrors on Amazon before deciding on this one. I went with this one based mostly on the positive reviews. I have had this mirror now for several months and can say that it does what I expected. It does not fog up very easily. When it does I just splash some water on the mirror and the problem is solved. The suction cups work sufficiently enough, but the mirror will fall if I do not reapply pressure to the suctions every two weeks or so. This hasn't really been that big of a nuisance as I am in the shower more often than that. The first time gave me a real start, though, as it came crashing down in the middle of night while I was sleeping. They do provide a sticky patch alternative with the packaging if you so choose to use it.Overall, pleased with the product. Really enjoy having a mirror in the shower. I would definitely purchase this same product again. Although, maybe next time I will buy a model with a light built in.

Get Good Java Skills
After searching several books that would teach java 2, I have concluded this is the best book I could find. Don't be fooled by the title "beginning java 2" This book is a whopping 1100 pages plus (and smaller than usual font). Covers Java Core, I/O Streams, util package, Threads, Basic to Intermediate Swing (graphics) and JDBC (database). It is well written with good explanations, Code Snip lets and "Diagrams!". The explanations are detailed which is great for novice programmers and useful for seasoned programmers moving from another language to Java when stuck with a concept. Seasoned non java programmers can read through the code snip-lets and grasp concepts through the numerous diagrams that explain key concepts easily. It is not a skim by the surface book leaving you with holes of thought nor is it a book that just covers elementary topics. The author goes from the elementary to intermediate level with good detail. It is not a quick reference. Well Done! Ivor Horton

JamCam3.0 bad product
I have rated this product with a star for it's documentation. This is the only one good thing at it. Also, on their webpage you can find some useful tips. But the most important thing is not ensured: quality images. Especially in shaded areas (but unfortunately not only there) the image has a lot of horizontal lines by different colors. I understand the limited resolution (for it's price), but I can't understand low quality of images. Another problem is that I obtain a fatal error of JamCam software application when I try to download images from camera at 320x240 resolution. I am not able yet to use 320x240 resolution even after I tried all drivers from their website. Also I can't understand why the speed of images download (using USB) is so low. Maybe all this things show a bad conception of this camera (hardware and software). But if you want to give a toy to a child, you can buy it.

Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis or Andrew Adamson?
Apparently Andrew Adamson thinks he can tell a better story than C.S. Lewis. Saying this movie is "based" on the book by the same title would be using the word "based" very loosely. While there are some commonalities between the two, probably 80 to 90% of the movie is comprised of material not in the book. If you are watching the movie without having ever read the books then it could be called a decent story. However, if you are expecting it to re-tell the story of Prince Caspian, then you will be greatly disappointed.Once again, Hollywood thought they could improve a story by re-making it, and once again they failed. A prime example . . . the added "romance" between two of the main characters. This was the worst addition of all!

Revised review
In my previous review of the seller, I gave a 5-star review before using the product. This is to revise that review & comment on the adapter. Basically this adapter is junk. I plugged it in & it didn't work. I plugged in several items that I knew were in working condition & none of them worked with this adapter. I got out my electrical tester & discovered an open in the red line. Upon further inspection I realized there was a cold solder joint where the red wire attached to the red clip. I tried to re-solder it since it didn't make sense to pay to return a $5 item. I got it to work, but will be throwing it away. I originally purchased this to go with my portable air compressor. Based on the low quality of the product, I don't want to risk relying on it in case of a flat tire. I'll buy something more substantial locally.

Incredible
I ordered this CD after hearing "How to Save a Life" on the Conan O'Brien Show. When I recieved the CD, I was completely shocked. The entire CD was just completely moving. It has something for everyone. Something to make you happy, to make you sad, to make you remember, to make you grateful for what you have. This CD can brighten my day whenever I feel low... And not only are the tracks great to move your soul, they sound great too! Many times on other CD's from other bands, you will find 2 "good" tracks and the rest are just rubbish... not so on this CD. Every single track is good. Their orchestration is incredible. Using the piano as a lead was a brilliant idea, and the voices of the singers are heard very well and clearly so that you can understand the lyrics to the songs. Incredible CD. I really didn't expect this CD to be that good.

As the Goblins Lurk
The story the Princess and the Goblin was an exciting epic of adventure and suspense. It started with a small princess named Irene who comes across her long lost grandmother. Her grandmother tells her she is there to protect her from evil goblins that roam the country side late at night. As Irenes life passes by in the castle she becomes to get aquainted with the goblins. Soon, she finds herself in a twisting plot full of trechery and danger. This book was exciting to read and made you feel the need to continue on. I would reccommend this book for many reasons. First of all right from the start the book is full of mystery. For example the author makes you feel the need to read on to discover the characters more. Also the book is crammed packed with action. There are many fights between goblins and humans that lead to a very dramatic conclusion. This book is great for all ages and will be enjoyed by many.

A Peace Maker
This DVD made me laugh. This DVD made me cry. Jay has a beautiful spirit. He represents some of the true fruits of the Spirit. I believe that all his labor of love is not in vain. He denied true fame to do what he believes is right. He teaches the gospel where many would have turned their backs and walked away.His pulpit is a chair in a bar. He teaches those who have been turned away for being "different",or "undesirable" for many of the mainstream churches that closes their eyes and doors to such people.Buy this DVD and share it with all of your friends and family. I know that they will be touched. Minds will change. Hearts will open!

A remarkable tome that should ship with Photoshop
The big question here is, How can a book get so good? It requires something on the scale of the grand alignment of the planets. Haynes and Crumpler have without a doubt mastered Photoshop. They have spent years honing their teaching skills. They are both excellent writers. They have the rare discipline to go the extra step when assembling information. This is the fifth edition of their book, and it is obvious that they listen to their readers. If you thumb through the book, you will be amazed at how densely packed every page is (I've seldom seen such narrow margins). This is not clutter. Each page stands as a miracle of organization. The text and diagrams complement each other to near perfection. This is the book that should come with Photoshop. Adobe should toss their embarrassingly deficient user manual and pack this tome in each box.

The best game in the world!!!
I can say without hesitation that this is the best game I have ever played. Love love love it!!! It is so much fun and thrilling that you will start to bond with the characters. I think I actually cried when it was all over. Some people complain that the cartoon animation made it cheesy but that is what I love about it. The game is fairly simple to play although there are a few puzzle solving situations in it. The music in here is great; songs you will never forget. I have played this game several times and never gotten bored with it. I have been trying for years to find a game that can match the greatness that this game had but none have been able to even come close. If you have never tried this game, you are missing out. You won't be disappointed!

Best CD I've bought in a very long time!!!!
This CD is amazing! I was unsure of what to expect, I'd read the reviews and I figured it was worth a shot. I had bought CD's from bands that used to be Heavy and was sooooo disapointed. I was grabbed from the begining with an awsome riff and an extremly sweet bass line. It was just the begining, each song is powerful, chunky, heavy, and mean, yes even the two songs that have a very slow tempo. I was impressed with every song. I can't name a favorite, they are all so good. If you only buy one CD, make sure it's this one. Bruce Dickinson Rocks!!!!! This is not an Iron Maiden album, it's waaaay too heavy. Bruce has proved too all the people that said he was nothing without Maiden that he is an amazing musician. I can't recamend this CD enough, it's AWESOME!!!!!!! What are you waiting for???? Buy this CD and be reintroduced to HEAVY METAL.

The Fire Within
The Fire Within is a fictional book with a touch of fantasy. It took Chris D'Lacey 15 years to write this novel, but it was definitely worth the wait. Can squirrels, a family of two, and clay dragons change a college student's life?When a tenant named David moves into a house in Wayward Crescent, strange things start to happen. To add on top of it all, Lucy and Liz, the owners of the house, give him a strange clay dragon. The dragon inspires David to write a story that helps him master the magical fire within. Within what? Read the book to find out.Chris did a great job with voice because I could really get a sense of his characters, and his personality. I could almost imagine myself in this funny, semi-mysterious book. I could almost feel the fire within.In conclusion, this book was great. I recommend this book for ages 10+. If you love fiction and fantasy all rolled into one, you will enjoy this book and all the squirrels and dragons in The Fire Within.

(If I could do zero stars I would have)
Ah HAH! Once again popular culture has produced an artist so filthy, so disgusting, that mere words do not do him(it?) justice. Yanni, with his skin like jell-o, has produced songs of such terrible quality that they sound like a four-year-old's with some precocious knowledge of two chords. "Beautiful?" Try "repetetive", "unimaginative", "sappy", "filthy", "vomit-inducing", or "makes-your-skin-crawl-with-violent-tendencies." To make everything worse, the "artist" (hah!) looks like he was mass-produced in a doll factory. A doll factory gone wrong, way wrong. In fact, it is my personal opinion that he is holographic, and would dissolve at the merest touch. If one enslaved under Yanni's power listened to real music for half an hour, they would forsake this gibbering fool and go on to better things.

Fine Dvorak performances
We found this to be a typically excellent digital mastering from the SKC Ltd.Korea engineers. The sound is brilliant and even, and the compilation is one of the more varied sets of Dvorak "greatest hits".

Garbage
I bought this camera in September and it managed to last a whole 3 months before it broke. I didn't even drop it or anything. The batteries fell out of it while I had it turned on. The lens is stuck out, and now the camera won't turn on or do anything. I've tried numerous different batteries, and tried troubleshooting, nothing works. I contacted HP customer service but they were not much help. Essentially they told me that all they could offer me was to trade it in and pay around $200 for an upgraded camera. No thanks, HP. I think I will try purchasing a camera from a company that doesn't sell junk next time. Also, even when this garbage was working, it zapped battery life like nothing I have ever seen before. Avoid this garbage.

~~a very good start~~
When I finished this book a couple of days ago I was disappointed. I thought this story was just okay. Then I found myself thinking of the story. Things I still wanted to know, memories of the story that had me laughing out loud.... 2 days later!!! So I went back and read it again. It's so funny! The snarky sense of humor and personality of Colby (the main character) really stuck with me and left me wanting to know more about her new life as a half breed vampire. When I ordered this book I didn't know it was part of a series. I was thinking it would be something light, fun and something I wouldn't get too invested in. Wrong! I already have the next book on order!

A Travesty
I purchased this CD for only one song, Una Palabra by Carlos Varela. It is the very first track. Come to find it is a shortened version of the original song. The full version is 2 minutes and 27 seconds. The version on the soundtrack is 1 minute and 14 seconds. Why someone would want to cut 73 seconds off such a short but beautiful song is a travesty. Why it's madness, I tell you...and my soul demands justice! Luckily I was able to find the full version on the internet, but of course that was $14 later.All kidding aside, it's not a bad CD entirely...if you're into that Harry Gregson-Williams hooty-tooty crap. As a matter of fact, I encourage you to get into him. Just so happens I got a CD for sale if you're interested. Say...$13.99?

Hats Off to Janet and the All For You DVD.
I'm very happy to have seen her in concert and to now see her in Hawaii doing it again was great! The best feature of this DVD is the "Would You Mind" block. It's funny to see her expression from these guys who do everything to keep their composure or go wild while they're strapped in. The pictures are from the tour book, still the shots are awesome. I enjoyed this concert a lot. Everything from the songs, behind the scenes, Carly and Missy, even the breakdown in "Doesn't Really Matter" after she introduces everyone. As with another reviewer, I miss Tina Landon. Shaunette, Eddie, and Gil did good jobs, but Tina and her style of choreograpy wasn't there. I guess it's all about moving on and trying different things. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. Cheers

GOOOOSCH ...!!!!! REALLY HARD READING !!!!
Tolkien is the master of fantasy. No doubt about it. So, I supose what I'll say below will leave many of his fans upset. The truth is the following: this book is boring. The concept is grandious, the creation of Arda magnific, the battle between the elves and Melkor amazing. But Tolkien's style is typical of some British writers. It is dry. Even when he writes about beautiful moments or beautiful scenarios, it's dry and emotionless, almost if it was just a newsman relating it. So, enduring reading the whole book is already a victory. Please pay attention to the fact that I'm not saying this is not a great book. This would be insane. I'm just saying the writing style is boring.

DO NOT BUY FOR REAR-FACING!!
This may be a good seat for foward facing use, but it is impractical for rear-facing! First off it would not fit in my car at all and I drive a 2003 Chevy Tahoe. When I reclined it to get the right angle, it took up a ton of space! My husband, who is 6' 4", would not have been able to ride in the car as we wouldn't have been able to move the front seats!! And to get it to the right angle I would have needed at least one noodle. The instructions are horrible!! We have LATCH and it does not say anything about the angle or how to angle it!! Hard to install!!! The puzzle clasp is also awful. Try putting it on a wiggle worm!! It also seemed like the sides would not tighten evenly and I never felt as though my daughter was safely fastened. I took the seat back and traded it for a Britax Roundabout! Well worth the extra $50 and it will save you the headache and agony!! Don't waste your time or money on this seat!!

VERY GOOD FOR THE MONEY
At the start of the reviews [on the first page] someone gave instructions on how to change the service from windows live to what ever you want, when you press the button on the top of the web cam. But if you do it, save the information so you can cut and paste updates into the right file. I changed it to Skype which works good because windows live was not working as good. Someone else gave the link to microsoft for the new download for the web cam. Which I did instead of using the CD. The cam controls for adding gain, backlight comp. ect. worked very good. I put a dab of epoxy under the cam holder to keep it from sliding around and falling off of the top of the LCD monitor when you turn the focus ring by the lens. The microphone works very good. If you need more microphone gain there is also a place in windows to do it. Over all for just over $25.00 from Amazon with free S&H I am more then happy with it. I have windows vista 32.

Dry
I bought this shampoo (and it's matching conditioner) a few months ago because they were on clearance at Target. I just started using it. The shampoo WILL lather if you rub it in your hands first. However, my hair is SO dry. At first it was a bit oily (I don't think i was rinsing it out well enough since it does seem a bit thicker than other shampoos I have used). I decided to stick it out and see if it got better. My hair does look clean for longer than most shampoo/conditions I've used. However, my hair is tangly and dry all the time, including immediately after I get out of the shower. I would not recommend this product.Just for info: I have fine, straight hair. It has never been dry, although every once in awhile it can get oily. It might be better suited for other hair types.

Good story-telling!
Sex stories are hard to tell! Face it, not everybody is turned on the same way. But Lisa Valdez skillfully made her "Passion" one of the most sexy stories I have ever read.How did she do it? For me, the romance aspect of it is simply captivating: A young woman with a not-so-happy background, a gem not yet discovered, a passion not yet discovered...Then came a mysterious man, handsome, charming, and every other hot traits you may think of. And the expected happened. Who would not want to experience that?But Valdez did not stop there. There was a secret. There was a struggle. There were trials. And there was a broke-up. But in the end, the good was redeemed and the bad was punished. Happily ever after.If this sounded too much like a perfect romance, you are right! Perfect romance could be cliche, but Valdez has created such credible characters that I was totally entranced.

Disappointed....
This set is pretty disappointing compared to what I expected. And the reason is not so much the story lines (they're mostly pretty good) -- it is the campy, extremely stilted, amateur acting. . . I mean it's consisently bad across every episode we've watched so far. . now I admit I'm only halfway through the episodes (so we're on disk 3). The acting is so bad it is nearly painful - it's like watching people who've never acted standing up with scripts and just reading awkwardly with either no, or too much, expression. . . . I keep expecting their "acting coach" to step in and correct them. And keep in mind when reading this review, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular . . I figured this series would be along the lines of the old Friday the 13th TV series as far as quality of acting, script, production etc., which would have been just fine...but this is just . . well...bad. Even for the price.

One of the worst
I've received this as a gift Christmas of 2011. For many years I had a cheapo Hamilton beach electric knife and the motor finally burned out but the Hamilton Beach knife was superior quality of the OSTER 2803 Electric Knife. Honestly only use it on holidays for turkeys, ham etc...I will list some of the problems:1. The dual moving blades while cutting will separate and food slices will get jammed in between both blades like the knife is trying to slice two pieces. Extremely poor design.2. The little I've used this knife blades are extremly dull. I work up a sweat just cutting a simple ham.3. Power button periodically will not work. While cutting the motor just shuts off.My daughter bought this for us and didn't know what to tell her after having it for several months in the beginning. Do yourself a favor do not buy this product. Shame on you OSTER ripping people off with this piece of junk. I will definitely go back to Hamilton beach electric knife.Susan G.Sewell, NJ

Good toy, but not true to source material
This is a good toy overal. Despite what the other reviewer saya, you can remove the white shirt without cutting it. Just lift it over his arm. The only gripe I have with the figure is actually it's main feature. I have been a batman fan as long as I can remember and through all his incarnations I cannot remeber Killer Croc ever having a tail. It just seems that Mattel may have this guy confused with spider-man's enemy "the Lizard". The Lizard is a mutant freak of science. Killer Croc is some strong guy with a kreepy skin disorder and bad teeth. Mattel needs to do their homework, but no biggie. I just leave the tail off of croc when I display him. Hopefully Mattel will stay true to source material in it's future batman figures. Can't wait for bane and scarecrow!

Stick w/ vol 1. Sara is not a yoga instructor and she goes way too fast
I did this video maybe five times. The things I liked were the plank work for core. The set is really nice and relaxing. However even though in another part of the video menu, she goes over the yoga sequence she will be following, Sara just rushes through these sequences leaving no time to stretch the muscles. The benefit of yoga is to lengthen the muscles by holding some poses. She does these salutations really quickly. I did this with nonpregnant friends and they weren't feeling it. She just rushes too quickly through it. One particular section she does this weird downward dog to back bend thing and where you lift a leg and arm. It just doesn't feel very stable or safe and she doesn't give you time to do the exercise safely. The video overall isn't bad but I found myself tending to do other videos.

Beware "The Stench"
I loved this mug for a while. It was leakproof, which was basically all I asked of it. I dutifully scrubbed it by hand after each use, making sure to rinse the lid thoroughly. Despite my efforts, I began noticing what I can only describe as The Stench -- a heave-inducing mix of old coffee, old milk, old whatever else I put in there. No amount of cleaning removed The Stench. I tried rinsing with vinegar, soaking in soapy water, etc. Every now and then I would take the mug out of the cupboard, hoping The Stench had dissipated, but it was still there.Then I read other reviews on Amazon about finding filthy globs of mildewy muck inside the lid, and in one case...maggots! MAGGOTS! IN YOUR COMMUTER MUG! That was the last straw. Sayonara, maggot factory.

Wife receives Wake-Up Call!!!
I have been married for six years to a man who has become increasingly abusive--emotionally, verbally, financially, and sexually. I fell into a major depression this year, close to a nervous breakdown. I went to counseling for years and sought intervention from numerous people. My husband told me it was all "me". A social worker told me that he saw warning signs of physical violence in the relationship. I went to the bookstore and discovered Mr. Bancroft's book. It confirmed everything I feared, I am an abused wife! I am a strong, independent, professional, educated woman! How could this happen?! I don't know that yet, but it's done and I'm responding. This book has been an incredible resource for me in answering to the manipulation and control of my husband. I have left him and I am SAFE! I thank God for Lundy Bancroft and his work.

Very Well Done
This is actually a really good movie. It's a made for T.V. movie. I saw it for the first time on Lifetime, which isn't a station I would normally watch. It's a movie based on alien abductions. A mother and daughter are confronted with this. At first, it starts with the daughter's loss of time and memory. Later on in the movie, the mother goes to counceling and finds that she was abducted as well. The plot thickens, but I would really hate to give it away. This would probably be a good movie for anyone interested in aliens. I'd say for the price of the DVD $$$go for it. There aren't any extras on this DVD, but I would assume there would be on the one that will cost you a little more $$$

I HAVE HAD THIS PUMP FOR ABOUT A MONTH. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS GREAT. BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AS THE OTHERS. ITS EXTREMELY NOISY. IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME SUCTION ON BOTH SIDES. IT LOSES SUCTION WHILE PUMPING. THE BREAST CUPS LEAK BECAUSE OF THE LOSE OF SUCTION. THE MOTOR SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO QUIT. IN THE BEGINNING IT EMPTIED MY BREASTS AND I PUMPED A LOT OF MILK. BUT NOW IT'S NOT EMPTYING MY BREASTS. READ THE BAD REVIEWS!!!! I WONDER IF THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PUMP FOR A SHORT TIME AND HAVEN'T USED IT ENOUGH. SPEND THE MONEY AND GET A GOOD PUMP LIKE MEDELA OR AMEDA. YOU CAN ALWAYS SELL IT USED ON EBAY AND GET SOME OF YOUR MONEY BACK.

Totally Worthless!
If it costs a penny, and worked, likely all cell phones would have one. The antenna is within the cellphone case and is of the proper length for the wavelength of the frequency used. This gold painted plastic sticker sticks on the inside behind the battery. There is no way possible for it to do anything at all. "If it sounds too good to be true, it ususally is." I received one of these for free and compared my "stickered" cell phone with an identical "unstickered" cell phone in rural MT with 0-1 bar reception. Both phones worked the same with or without the sticker. Save your pennies, and dollars of shipping. Use a Wilson cell phone antenna plugged directly into your hidden antenna port, or better a Wilson booster kit, for a real difference. Amazon is the best in selection and pricing and I have one for the office, home, and 2 cars, and they get me 5 bars where there were 0-1. Simple hook-up.

This is one of the best laptop Fans!! Don't buy any other kind but this one!
I have bought several different types of laptop fans. They all ended up being crappy and stopped working. This one is the best one ever! I bought 2. I took the time to research laptop fans, after going through so many, and read the best ones to keep your laptop from getting to warm are the ones with an ALUMINUM SURFACE. For this price you can not beat it! Don't pay $30 + for any notebook / laptop cooler fan at ANY store. They are over priced! This one is worth the $20 by far! Highly recommend. I like to lay in bed at night and play Spider Solitaire and this fan absolutlely is great for your lap!

Do not waste your money!!!!
This was one of the worst books i have ever attempted to read. I could not finish it. The characters were boring. I was tired of Tanya putting up with Curtis day in and day out, and complaining about it all the time. I just kept finding myself, drifting off and having to force myself back into finishing a chapter. I finally decided to stop punishing myself and return the book. I also decided to return "To much of a good thing" because it couldnt be much better. I would suggest, "let the church say amen" by reshonda tate billingsley. Or any michele andrea bowen books. Much better reads. If you still want to try this book i would also suggest you borrow it from the library.

Looks aren't everything
Yes, this little mp3 player is sleek and elegant. But it also has given me nothing but problems since I bought it. I am now on my third trade-in because the battery life isn't lasting much more than 2 hours. Apple will not do anything but send me a new one everytime this happens, which was fine the first and second time. But after the third, I requested a completely new one or my money back, and they could not help me. When I went to the Apple store in NYC to request help, they told me they felt "very bad for me." (That honestly happened.) So I'm now talking to the Apple support center about setting up a trade-in, and I gather this Sisyphusian process will be something else to add to my calendar. And, no, I'm not a PC person - I've had Macs all my life and currently love my iBook. But I would never buy an iPod again, especially with so many other mp3 players on the market. Beware.

A VERY promising sequel
Though I haven't actually played this game yet, I restlessly await its release. I cannot get enough of the original (diablo 2) and from what Ive read of the faqs and beta tester reports Blizzard is only improving on the areas that need improvement such as the item dropping system. You no longer get junky items from killing the act bosses in high difficulties (or so I hope...). Then there are the two all new character classes to explore. The Assassin and the Druid are (hopefully) going to be whole new experiences with all their cool new skills. And whats a sequel without an extention of the story? There is now an Act 5 in diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. Can't wait to kill Baal. There is also a more interactive world to explore with gun towers and other stuff (dont know much about it as of yet). Needless to say Ive preordered it thru amazon.com-they have delivered great service to me. P.S. Im on the USWEST Dont miss out on this opportunity PREORDER THE GAME NOW!

Forget about 16 miles
Just did a A/B comparison between the SX800R (16 mile range)and the Midland GXT-450 (10 or 12 mile range). Neither radio came anywhere near the effective range advertised. The Midland lost communcation after 1/2 of a mile apart in the woods. I then tried both radios on a flat open road. At 2.9 miles apart, neither radio could pick up it's counterpart. It wasn't until we hit the 1.8 mile mark that the Motorola picked up some static from the other Motorola. Still nothing from the Midland. At approx 1.5 miles apart, the motorola worked fine. I gave up with the Midland. The reason I did not give the Motorola a 1 star rating was because I like the weather band feature. Bottom line is, that unless you are in an airplane with no obstructions at all or curvature of the earth to worry about, forget about getting anywhere near the advertised range. A good rule of thumb is, if you can see the other person, then you are in range.

Nothing more than Windows 3.1 software with a flashy cover
This package is available in a variety of languages, and all they do is take standard phrases and show you the translations and grammatical tense for each word. You could mass produce a hundred languages in this fashion. I speak Spanish fluently and found this method flat and insipid. Nothing is fun. There is no interactive dialogue, no games other than some silly fill in the blank sentences, and no building on previous lessons. Plus nothing is interrelated. If you see that a word is a singualar possesive you should be able to see the full conjugation and rules that apply. Not that hard with modern software. Nope, you click on a menu item called grammar and get a boring list of rules and you need to find the one that is related. This is just regurgetated Windows 3.1 software with a flashy cover. I was fooled.

Unique UK reggaeish, dubbish, distinctive.
Man, why did these guys just fall outta the sky and disappear? They did a 12" and an lp. I may have owned both actually. They also have 1 or 2 live shows floating around from 1981. There is just nothing like them. Jamacians (I'm assuming) in the UK all around the very early 80's. It's not sleepy reggae, it's not strict dub. It's really their own sound, refreshing and still sounds excellent today. Assertive, even slightly aggressive vocals. With a steady beat but not discoish at all, not trance, not simply repetitive. Like a cousin of reggae, only more lively. You get a chance to listen to some of the music, jump on it. I'm quite sure you should enjoy it. I have since I've heard it back then and find that no one's made music along their style ever since. Delightful. [email protected]

Poorly made
I got this for Christmas. The video quality is terrible. And while I understand that video quality wasn't the best when this show first aired...they could have done a better job with this dvd set. In one episode the sound quality will be fair, while in the next, the volume and quality will be much lower. So from episode to episode, I find that I must constantly adjust the volume.Sometimes the screen will scroll like they used to do on older tvs. And this is just something I never expected to find on a dvd.Also, the episode titles air differently than what is printed on the disk. so they are printed out of order.Basically, what this 'seems' to be is a set of dvds pirated and sold at a flea market. Not saying it is...but that's what it looks like. Terrible quality. And the ONLY reason I haven't sent them back is that I love the Amos & Andy show so much and I doubt I can find a better set.But if you don't just absolutely love this series...skip this set. It's not worth $5.

It's time for Aretha to leave the teen life behind
I don't know what I expected but not this. Aretha Franklin has always, since I heard 'Won't be long' been my favorite singer.So I want to tell her. Aretha, you are 61 years old. You can use your brains and knowledge now and not the power of youth. Stay away from Mary Blige and Jimmy Jam and anyone else who tries to make you a hip hop star. You are a mature woman. No more best sellers for you. Try to leave something to be proud of. If not, remember the wonderful opera singer, Beverly Sills who retired at 50 at the top of her game. Really, it is unbecoming for a woman of 61 to moon about being left waiting again, and wanting to be kissed etc. Aretha, do not put out another dull, ordinary, string filled, syrupy recording like this. Next time, Sing some old songs. Just your voice and a piano. Be Brave.

Turkey Day Disaster!!
Got together just in time for Thanksgiving. Having about 40 folks over. Big families. Lit it up and it worked for less than an hour before the heating element went poof! Buy American. This is cheaply made junk! The heating element is a joke. Many of the screws don't match up including the plug attachments for the plugins. Up late having to scramble to get meats cooked. Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this product. Happy for the folks that have one that works. Destroyed my Turkey Day prep. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Not funny, very dull and predictable.
I do not understand why people think this author is funny. I have been looking for a really good "laugh out loud" read, and many people recommended this book and other Hiaasen books. I've read this one and Nature Girl. Neither was funny, and they are set in the same basic setting, Florida. (Really Carl, get the heck out of Florida and experience other places.) The only reason I read the second book was because I thought that maybe Sick Puppy would actually be funny. Dull, dull, predictably boring and blah. The crazy tree hugging lunatic see's a guy throw trash out of his car. Is it really a far or creative stretch to have the same crazy lunatic dump a dumpster full of trash into the littering jerks convertible? I think not. I got more laughs out of reading the Captain Underpants series to my kids. I got to the last 20 pages and did not even care what happened in the end.

A Disappointment
I've been a Simpsons watcher since 1991. I watched the show change over the years. I decided to give this album a try. Altogether, this album isn't as good as Simpsons Sing The Blues. But why did they release it at this time? The material here is over 6 years old, and you can tell. The only real bright spot on this album is the rock song "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves." "Funny How Time Slips Away" is halfway decent, and it was nice to see Apu take over on "24 Hours A Day." They don't redeem the album, however. "Love," "10 Commandments Of Bart," and "I Can't Help Myself" are moldy rap tunes. George Clinton's song "She's Comin' Out Swingin" goes on WAY too long. The concept of "Anyone Else" is lame. "Every Summer With You" is cheesy, and "Kamp Krusty" didn't need to be made into a long suite. If you didn't watch the Simpsons earlier in the '90s and you were to get this album, you'd be disappointed. This album is best for fans of the older Simpsons style.

A Great Read from a Great Author
This was a great book. It was in my opinion even better than Plum Island. I am a big fan of Demille and have read all his works. My favorites are Gold Coast, Cathedral, And Word of Honor. However, this book was great. I even enjoyed the references made to Demilles other books in this one: Gold Coast, General's Daughter, and the Charm School were the ones I noticed. The book was well written, exciting, and hard to put down. My only complaint was the ending. I don't like the obvious lets set up for the sequal type ending. It ended too much like a Patterson work. However, despite the incomplete ending, this was a great work of fiction. A great read.

A good knife but...
I have had 4 of these since I was 17. They are great knives to have on a keychain and I can't tell you how many times it has come in handy. Especially the scissors. My only complaint is that Victorinox REALLY needs to start putting the toothpick and tweezers on the end with the ring!! I've lost 3 toothpicks cuz they've fallen out when hanging from my keyring. I know this is a small complaint but that simple little change would make this knife perfect! And it really can't be that hard to do! I'm surprised they haven't done it yet. Other than that I've had no problems with any of the ones I've had over the years. I use them until they wear out and the plastic sides fall off! I'll continue to buy them and hope that Victorinox with listen up! Thanks for reading!

Vegies boiled to death
If I hear any more "progressive" references to these contemporary retro bands, I may simply have to pu.....no rather start commenting whenever I waste my money on such recordings as this. Has anyone looked up "progressive"? I think not. Just another banal, ignorant label. Kino is a decent group and may have done fairly well in the 70's or 80's.Guess what? They are an average pop band at best. Song writing...ok...musicianship...ok.....production...ok......recording(squash,squash,DSP,DSP)....sucking the great green weenie. On every level lacking imagination, originality, and mind boggling production and adventurousness that marks the thrust of the 70's. I could go on and on. I'm starting to irritate myself though. I'll spare you all. Clearly the 5 star'ers have not listened to the masters in a while or ever.

Finally! Praise God!
This film is the original Forest Gump and far more entertaining. It is also one of the best films ever made. The film's protagonist and his travels serve as an allegorical comparison for all of us and the twisted paths we take in modern life. The film does not leave you after you watch it and continues to grow and grow on you as time goes on. It is truly amazing. I still have my VHS copy. Soon I can throw it out along with my VCR!***************Finally got my copy on DVD. Exce;;ent features. Great comentary, Beautiful picture and sound. Perfect all the way around.

Absolutely Awesome
This album is a breath of fresh air in the metal scene today. It has everything you need, great lyrics, riffs, drums and a bonus...guitar solos!!! Yes, guitar solos. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, one could always expect great solos from most of the bands from that era. Some of todays newer bands are good and they can play the guitar, but can they really play the guitar?? Either they can't or they don't want to. Whatever the reason, they should sit back and listen to these guys and sit in awe! These guys deliver the goods, kick butt and take names. "Bat Country" is one of my favorites while "Trashed and Scattered" just rips up the alleys. "Sieze the Day" is a nice slower track before cranking into "Sidewinder". If you are looking for an exceptional album, look no further. Seriously, there is not a bad song on this disc. Enjoy!

i looked forward to this book, but someone else should have written it. the author, the longer the book is read, disproves his own theory. he begins to write emotionally, taking potshots at everything from michael moore to global warming theories to the use of ritalin to psychologists in california, without the slightest evidence of critcal thinking. he states the obvious, and groups an entire people, such as the greeks, romans, americans, etc. as critical thinkers or not. actually the book, to me at least, would discourage logic. if this guy is what critical thinking produces, you can have it. it is a jumbled mess. a smart guy with a thesaurus, does not produce clear thinking. trying to separate logic from emotion is a fool's errand. it ignores humanity, which is what really separates us from the beasts. i guess i am trying to say is that this book, contains little logic. in fact, the whole premise is illogical.

Great show - but get the newer complete set
Recently, I was clearing my parents house out and found a box of old toys, including a bunch of Fraggle dolls that I had as a kid. When I mentioned this to my sister, she said she heard that Fraggles were making a comeback with a new movie coming out. Sure enough, when I checked Amazon, the complete series was available. It was such a joy to see this again. This is a great show for kids (or nostalgic adults). The puppetry is great. The show is very musical, but the songs (by and large) aren't corny or annoying. Some of them are actually a bit tender. The episodes often deal with themes like prejudice and the environment.That being said, I'd recommend getting the newerFraggle Rock: Complete Series CollectionDVD set. It has the complete series (as opposed to just a few seasons as on this product). For the price, it's a steal. I hope you enjoy your time "down in Fraggle Rock"!

Great Deal for the Price!
I couldn't be happier with this product. It is truly heavy duty, exactly as described. I wasn't that excited until our recent trip to the Grand Canyon. We had a lot to haul, so I realized the day we were leaving that I needed ANOTHER rooftop carrier. I went to Wal-Mart and bought another carrier (not this product) that claimed to hold 15 cubic feet. It cost as much as this one. There is NO comparison between the two. The Wal-Mart one held only half as much; its clasps wouldn't hold; it wasn't heavy duty. I ended up returning it. This product is truly light years ahead of the competition. I recommend it highly.

EXTREMELY DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING
I FELT ABSOLUTELY CHEATED BY THIS BOOK. IF YOU READ THE BOOK JACKET THERE SEEMS TO BE AN FASCINATING MYSTERY REGARDING THE CHRONOLITHS. THIS CAUSED ME TO BUY THE BOOK. A GOOD WRITER AND A GOOD STORY WOULD THEN RESOLVE THE MYSTERY AND TIE UP THE LOOSE ENDS. HOWEVER, THE BOOK NEVER TELLS US WHAT THE CHRONOLITHS ARE, WHY THEY WERE SENT, OR WHO "KUIN" IS!! I DO NOT FEEL THAT MY REVEALING THIS FALLS UNDER THE RUBRIC OF "SPOILERS" BECAUSE THERE SIMPLY IS NOTHING TO SPOIL HERE. ALSO, THE BOOK HAS ABSOLUTELY NO ENDING! I FIND THIS TYPE OF WRITING TO BE BE DISHONEST. THE READER IS HOOKED IN WITH A CREATIVE MYSTERY,BUYS THE BOOK, AND THEN FINDS OUT THAT THE WRITER DOES NOT HAVE THE SKILLS TO RESOLVE THE MYSTERY OR EXPLAIN ANYTHING IN A RATIONAL MANNER. THE ONLY THING THAT "HAPPENS" IN THIS BOOK IS THAT CHRONOLITHS MYSTERIOUSLY APPEAR VARIOUS TIMES IN A MAELSTROM AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY THEY APPEAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEVER FIND OUT THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.

Garbage
I am an avid fan of the extreme and a certified gorehound. I am sick of reading how this film makes any political statement whatsoever. It has NO meaning at all! It is celluloid garbage. In a word? Perversion. Simple. I give it one star because of it's shock value for 1975. That's it. Cannibal Holocaust had WAY more social meaning than this! At least we never have to ingest anything else from it's overrated director.

Second to None
Wow. This is an awesome CD. I have every MxPx CD, and although it's not perfect, but one of the best CDs ever, and the second best MxPx CD. (Life In General will always be my fave) Since they signed on the same record label as the bloodhound gang, Dr. Dre, and some other popular mtv bands, expect to see them on MTV. you really should get this album. i recommend it to anyone who likes blink 182 (musically, not lyrically), Green Day, the Ataris, dogwood, arthur (duh), sick shoes, noggin toboggan, ghoti hook, Felix tx, dropkick murphys, lagwagon, and Craig's brother.Also, this is MxPx's deepest album. every song on this album is great and is meaningful in some way. heck, even the "only wanna be with you" chick songs are great. :) they have awasome guitar riffs and beautiful melodic punk b/g vocals, harmonies and melodies. MxPx, ROCK ON! :)

What a waste!
There are three reasons this is a worthless product. I bought this cover when I purchased my grill. Love the grill, hate the cover.1. The cover only fits if you fold in the side tables. These side tables get greasy if you fold them in. Greasy side tables isn't a good thing. The side tables are plastic. The grill must be cool before you fold them in.2. It is cumbersome to remove this cover or place it over the grill.3. Most important ... you don't need it. My grill cover is on a shelf on my deck where it has been for five years. I noticed it yesterday and it is turning all green. Meanwhile, the grill looks great even though I haven't covered it except the first two weeks. It looks worse when it is covered. The grill is aluminum and plastic. It doesn't rust. We use ours about 3-4 times a week. It doesn't need to be covered.Save the planet and don't buy worthless things that you don't need. You don't need this cover.

WAY TO GO NEIL!!! (and to those Sony hate mongers...)
Way to go Neil!! So glad you teamed up with Rick Rubin on this one! A departure from your recent music I found the music on this cd to be a refreshing change. Some truly, wonderful heart felt songs. A definite must to any Neil Diamond music collection. Looking forward to hearing the product of your next collaboration with Rick. And when are we getting the "unplugged" tour with songs from this new CD?? Now THAT is a show I would love to see.And to those Sony hate mongers......please, please vent your anger elsewhere. It really isn't fair to Neil, who worked a very hard and long time on this CD, for you to rate his new work solely as a means to get to Sony. Not fair at all. Very poor sportsmanship on your part. Please go vent somewhere else. This is a fabulous new CD and you are doing it a great diservice with your foolishness. Got take your frustrations out on Sony, not Neil.

Great Bridesmaid's Dress
I am getting married and needed 2 dresses for my bridesmaids. I had no luck in department stores, they just added more stress to me. I got my wedding dress on line and it fit perfect. So I convinced my bridesmaids to do the same. The dresses came in a timely manor and they fit perfect. JUST MAKE SURE YOU VIEW THE SIZING CHART!! It is diffrent from going to a normal store, the sizing is a bit on the small side, so go a size up(ex: if size: 16 which would normally be a XL, get a size 1X/2X. Promise, it will fit perfect. The gowns are beautiful, I recommend these dresses for plus size women because they make you look smaller than what you really are!! I also got my ringbearer his outfit from this company and his fits perfect also!! Highly recommend this company. Love it!!

They Could've Put A Little More Effort into Making This Game
Well, I must say, I was quite disappointed. We have the ninja turtles game for PS2 and that one is great, my 5 year old loves it and can play it no problem....it goes on and on and on....one level after another. This one for the Gameboy Advance however, it has 4 levels. that's it. 4 levels. My son is asking for help every 5 minutes. I have a hard time beating the guys and I am definitely a gaming mom. So, after a few attempts, I beat it. In all of about 2 hours. So...I definitely DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RECOMMEND THIS GAME. IT WAS A BIG WASTE OF MONEY OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT IS A NINJA TURTLE GAME. THE ONLY THING YOU ARE PAYING FOR, IS THE NAME.

Tedious and completely unbelievable
Diane Lane is a beautiful housewife. She is not unhappy. She is not bored. She loves her husband and their son. But we are expected to believe that she would fling herself into an affair with an unattractive, scuzzy-lookin' French guy after knowing him for, oh, about ten minutes. Gimme a break! Lane's performance is pretty good, but Richard Gere is fairly awful as the wronged husband fighting for his self-control. The kid is played by one of the Malcolm in the Middle kids, who looks absolutely nothing like a child Lane and Gere would possibly have together. After long, boring tedium, the movie ends with -- ta daa!!! -- SYMBOLISM!!! Yawn.

Another One?
Oh, i was so tempted to go out and buy an SP. But then i thought'wait a tick, haven't i done this before?' So I said no. I wasn't gonna have my money taken away like that. All of you who bought one and already own an original GBA have had your money taken away by Nintendo. I don't respect Nintendo as much as i used to. They don't listen to fans. I want online gaming for GC, as do many other GC owners! Then they go and so obviously try to take away customers money with the SP! I don't know, maybe i should just get over it, afterall, that's what companies do; obviously take gullible people's money. I'll save my money maybe for DS, but most likely for the PSP. I just got $150 dollars for my B-day, and have an entire year to save up for the PSP!

Oh No, not again
Meant To Live- Everyone's heard it. Most people love it. I'm one of them. And to know they were Christian and yet still produced something like that- i knew i had to have this CD.But unfortunately, the old adage that a Christian band can't produce good music consistently is true. Meant to Live is the only good song on here. The rest of the album consists of sappy, cliched bubble-gum pop. And SLOW, sappy, cliched bubble-gum pop. The music, the lyrics, they all suck. Not even fit for radio. Even Meant To Live gets old. I payed $8 for this album, before it went platinum and blah blah blah. So i wasn't ripped off as bad as some. And yet, $8 for one good song that i don't listen to anymore? A complete waste of time and money. Any true music fan, stay away from this album. You'll die of boredom if you try to listen to it all the way through. Maybe your grandparents will like it though.

No deal.... ALL DUD!
I read the good reviews and thought that this would be a great investment. NOT!!!!!!!!! I bought this device for my black lab puppy who had become a nuisance barker. My mother has shih-tzus and it worked on those dogs. When I tried it on my lab he just kept barking, and barking and barking. It didn't even phase him. The worst part is that it only lasted for a day and a half. Now it doesnt even work. Completely broken!!! I wasted 13.00 dollars on this device only for it to be of no help what so ever. I am lucky that I didn't purchase it to protect myself from big dogs. It would have left me defenseless. I do not recommend this device to anyone. I am going to buy a bark collar instead. Pay the money and spring for something a little more expensive. Don't waste your money on this one.

Great product
I switched for dish network to cable, and did not want to loose the ability to watch my dvr on two different tv's. I simply split the cable coming from my dvr and sent it to the tv in my living room and my bedroom, which is upstairs and about 200 feet from my living room. I tried a remote control extended from Radio Shack which did not work. I search the web for solutions and even considered running a wire. My local home theater store said I couldn't do it for under $300 dollars. Then I bought this product. Set up took less than 5 minutes. No special programming, no equipment in the bedroom. Just this little thing that replaced one of the batteries. I am simply amazed at how easy it worked. The only draw back is that for some reason it will not work if I have the light on the remote control on, but that is easy to live with. I would highly recommend this product.

DON'T GET IT UNLESS YOU TEACH
I really hate the book it goes on and on crap and schools.The book touches on Edgar Cayse at the end of the book and it's brief.It's your waste of time and money. It's not very informative. It's written as if Edgar Cayse readings are all over, but it's not true.This is to the author please don't use a famous name to sale a crapy book.It's insulting to people that get it and Mr. Edgar Cayce.Other people that feel sorry for the author well don't. The author needs to be honest in naming titles and content of the book.It was boring. The only good part was when it talk about Edgar Cayce readings about Indigo Children. That all!!! Please do not lie about this book come on! Stop lying how great it is. Save your money and get other books please trust me. I have bought so many books in these subject. If you get it ok. but I'm warning you.

best yet
As the title suggests, this is Malevolent Creation's best yet. Although I would have to say, The Ten Commandments and Retribution deserve a high honorable mention. Brett's vocal style has changed to just a brutal onslaught of psychotic madness. Changing from his (dare to say?) melodic combination of brutality and melody from the Ten Commandments. One of the best singers in the Death Metal business for sure. Phil is an insane guitar player, and one of the reasons Malevolent Creation has been around for so long. Without him, the band would have dismounted most definitely. Rob is back in the pack on this album, and his musical ability sounds tighter and more professional. Dave Culcross, man, what else is there to say about this skin-pounding machine. I think this cd holds the fastest and technical playing ever. Insane! Gordan is audible on this album.All in all. Check this album out now. Their is not much more else to say.

terrible - requires A LOT of beans to make decent coffee
I purchased this coffemaker based on the reviews. Used it once, following the recommended amount of 1 scoop of beans for 2 cups of coffee and it came out as tea. Threw it out. Set it to the finer setting. Tried again, this time 2 scoop of beans. Again, horrible watery coffee. Third time used 2 scoops for 1 cup of coffee. Again weak watery coffee. Just out of curiosiosity at this point, I used 4 scoops of beans for 1 cup. This time finally it started to look like coffee although it was still on the weak side. And if you are thinking this reviewer must prefer espresso, NOT really. This coffeemaker is ridiculous. What one is saving on the price of the machine, one would spend very easily on coffee beans. I think the problem is that the blades throw the ground coffee to the sides instead of the bottom of the cone, therefore when the water drips down there is not much coffee there. I returned it the next day.

Audiovox Goes to Maine
We recently took a road trip to Maine with our two children ages 11 and 14. I purchased 2 Audiovox DVD players and 2 cases that attach to the head rests. It was great! We took quite a few movies with us and the trip went so fast for the kids. They were easy to operate and the bonus was the ipod doc. I recommend these Audiovox DVD players to everyone with kids. They are fabulous. The screen quality is excellent and the sound is too. Oh and the kids love having thier own remotes to operate it. As I always say....happy kids...happy parents! Thank you. Mrs. S. Brown - Tenafly, NJ

Outsider or Not?
The book The Year of the Dog by Grace Lin is about a little named Pacy. She has two sisters a mother and a father. It was the Chinese Year of the Dog and Pacy's mother tells her that The Year of the Dog is the year to find your talent. Find yourself. Now Pacy hearing this starts looking right away. But at school Pacy feels like a bit of a outsider. Nobody she knows is Chinese just like her. Her friends made jokes about the Chinese New Year and just didn't get it. But one day when a new CHINESE student came to school Pacy immediately befriends the student (Melody) and soon realizes what her mom meant.This book is full of friends family and fun. You also learn about Chinese traditions and there are also little stories on the side about Pacy's family. I think Grace Lin was saying that no matter how hard times get there is always an upside to everything.By Maddie

Beware
Before you take anything this "Doctor" says seriously, please Google him, read the Quackwatch articles about him. He is not a doctor. Several felonies, a long list of arrests and charges against him - all of these things tell me to beware. However, you can make up your own mind. Is this so-called doctor a sincere healer with multiple wonder cures for serious illnesses or the biggest scam artist and snake oil salesman to come down the pike in years? A well-meaning and trusted friend recommended one of his Hydrogen Peroxide/Oxygen products and this book to me. The treatment did nothing, so I looked this guy up on the Internet. What a shock to see his arrest record! You may want to do the same. Hey, maybe the FDA and FBI are in cahoots with the AMA, and are persecuting a beautiful human being. Or not. I'm just sayin'...
