Shocking revelation!
I bought this on vinyl early in 1975 and loved it. Listening to it now on CD I can say that it stands the test of time pretty well. The tracks Heart, Boy scouts, Fay Wray and Doris Dreams are absolute art-rock classics. 4 out of 9 ain't bad.And now the shocking revelation...In late 1975 a certain art-rock single got to number 1 in the charts - and stayed there for weeks. It was hailed as genius. It has subsequently been named (and still frequently is) as one of the greatest singles ever. Me, I can't understand why no-one has ever pointed out what I can see quite clearly. Namely, that the structure, dynamics and many of the ideas seem to have been lifted totally from Orchestra Luna's "Doris Dreams." If you don't believe me, buy this album and listen for yourself.Oh - and the guilty single? The one that seems to have borrowed heavily from Doris Dreams? That was "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

Junk...........
I researched many mp3 players and read many reviews before purchasing this one. I figured with it being my first one it should be pretty simple to use. Things were great for the first day and a half and then poof. It quit working. It powers on but that's it. All the screen will say is Sansa m240 1.0GB. It will do nothing else. I put in a brand new battery and still nothing. When I connect it to my computer it will not even detect it. My aunt purchased the same mp3 player for her son. He used his for about a month. It quit working about the same time mine did. It does the exact same thing mine is doing. The reviews I read before Christmas were all good. Maybe it's a defective batch. Whatever the problem mine is going back and I'm going to start searching for a better one than this.

Boring.
If you have followed Motley Crue throughout their career, even part way, then you know what's in this book. There are some tidbits of stuff in there that have not been made to the general public before, and are the only interesting items to read. But over all, this book is beyond boring. Tommy and Nikki slept with every Playboy Playmate in existence. So? Then they married them all, divorced them all, and whined about them all. Sorry, but you get no sympathy if you go through Playmates the way normal people go through paper towels. They had the good life and screwed it up. Royally.Synopsis of the book - woke up, did bags of dope, slept with numerous women, passed out. Turn page and repeat.The true shining light of this book what the chapter on Vince and Skylar. That was truly heartbreaking. No one should have to go through that much pain.Save your money - go see them in concert.

EXCELLENT MP3/CD PLAYER BY NIKE-PHILIPS!!
I purchased this MP3/CD Player today (after trying out many others) and was really impressed with the style, sound, and the features offered by NIKE-PHILIPS. Although, they say it is generally for the athlete, anyone would be pleased with it. The touch controls were quite impressive and innovative, and easy to use. It also comes with a remote, handstrap, and ac adapter. The sound is terrific. It uses an equalizer button that can vary your taste in bass and treble. The bass has 2 levels and the treble one level. Put them together and you have excellent sound quality. It plays all MP3 files, CD-R, CD-RW, etc. Nicely made with LCD readout on both the remote and MP3 player. Has all the controls of a regular player. Is orange and tan in color with a rounded shape and comes with 2 AA batteries. It may be a bit expensive, however, this MP3 offers much in sound, quality, and appearance. I'm glad I purchased this one. Nice job done by NIKE-PHILIPS!

Buy this instead of those "professional" cookware
This stir fry pan is better than most. I like it because it is lighter than most. Handle is easy to grip and it comes with a cover which is a good one. It also last longer than most.Enough praises. But I have to tell you that if you use it regularly, it won't last over a year. "Stir Fry" requires high heat and "Nonstick" requires medium heat. "Nonstick Stir Fry" means "good pan for a year". I use it 5 times a week and trust me, it will start sticking within a year no matter what utensils you use and how careful you clean it.Having said that, this stir fry pan is still a good value. Especially the standard size cover which will out last the pan. Do not waste money on those "professional" cookwares that cost over $100. Buy 2 of this instead. The only difference is the professional is heavier and had a thicker Teflon coating.

Smart!
I'm no expert on Web design. However, I do spend a great deal of time fiddling with badly desined web sites. Certainly everyone has encountered a web site that made them want to scream.I do understand what is involved in building a web site, we build them regularly. Ani Phyo is very intuitive and approaches her subject matter with great finessse. I have interacted with sites that she and her partner have designed and clearly, they get it. Not only are the sites intuitive and smart but they take it to the next level. They have an organic nature that transcends what you'd expect on the web. Their sites are breathing, living organisms. To encounter them is to be a part of a community. Yes, a community! Isn't that what the Internet is all about?I highly recommend this book mostly for the client. The client needs to define their needs and comprehend what is possible. The designer can take it to the next level.

an embarassment
How can you call this Black sabbath?! I find everything about this album dissapointing. The only original member left is Tony. There's no Ozzy, no Geezer, and no Bill Ward. As for the actual musical aspect of this garbage, It's worse! How can Iomii let Ernie C from Body count produce? How can he let Ice T rap? if you're gonna do something experimental like that, don't do it on the first track. It kind of ruined the whole album for me. Also, there is no memorable Iomii riffs on here. Plus way too much techno, electronic stuff. And by the way, tony martin has nowhere near the talent of Ozzy. Please, please, please don't let this be the last Sabbath studio album.

Minolta Maxxum 5 could be trouble
I bought this camera the Date model from Tri State Cameras 2 months ago. I ran 2 rolls of film through it and every thing went fine. All of a sudden the next 6 rolls did not expose the film at all. I found out the shutter louvers malfunctioned. Lost my whole vacation pictures. Then I thought I found out the probluem and the date back malfunctioned. I had a nice yellow beam of light accross the bottom of all my shots except the last picture on the roll. This was the next 5 rolls. Sent back to Minolta for warrentie service a week ago. I have not heard anything yet. I am very disapointed in this new Minolta camera!Buy a Canon or a Nikon.

Bay at the moon...or whenever
Let's get this out of the way. I'm in love with the werewolf makeup and the adrenaline pumped attacks by the creatures...but notmuch else. This film disregards most of the werewolf mythos, like the pentagram in the hand of his victim and the lunar transformation. In this movie a werewolf changes whenever he takes a notion too. Not only is this stupid, but it damages the pathos we would have for the monster(remember Lon Chaney Jr.?).As to the beastly love-making..yeah. What is this, Anne Rice? For some reason, it worked in the 1992 Dracula but not here. Oh, I know..vampires are supposed to be romantic. There it is. For a far more faithful and consistent werewolf movie, check out "An American Werewolf in London" or kick it old school with Universal's "The Wolf Man".

nothing special
I don't listen to the radio anymore because of the ... that is out there --- I get my new music by recommendations by others on Amazon; other people's lists and "people who bought this also bought...."So, I was led to Greenwheel from pages that included Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin (both bands I really like). After listening to Soma Holiday a couple of times, I can say that there is nothing special about Greenwheel. Nothing really new. I look for and enjoy explosive guitars and great riffs and interesting, syncopated drums. Nothing like this here. Simple, simple music. I do like the scratchy-ness of the vocals, but that is about it. The music is, again, so simple. Pretty boring, actually.If you want pap, by all means, pick this up. I'm still searching for what I am looking for. Greenwheel isn't it.

Exercise and Meditation in one
I love these tapes. I have back and forth over the years and always come back to this Power Yoga tape. I feel very challenged and feel a great accomplishment when I can do the difficult poses. One thing I noticed is that it is not a matter of doing the pose correct, in a sense it's that you are in the moment breathing into the pose. I practice mindfulness daily and since I have been doing the tapes with mindfulness as Bryan Kest's suggest, I find the poses to be easier than struggling through them waiting for the pose to be over because it is too stressful. I like the setting of the class. It looks real, unlike other videos with a fake background. I am glad I found these tapes. I have all three, I interchange them daily. Volume 1 2 and 3 are all powerful each building on the other challenging you a little more with each one. I highly suggest this tape.

An INCREDIBLE Deal!!!
ALL the albums plus a few tasty extras at a STEAL of a price!!! If you're a hardcore fan you'll dig deeper and find a couple/three CDs of rare items and obscure demos, but this set has ALL of their essential recorded works. I just cannot get over the price! What a STEAL! It's like an overwhelming body of evidence laying out the case for what a pair of geniuses (geniuii?) Don and Walter were back in the prehistoric days of the 1970s. Truly impressive. And the music has held up remarkably well. Intelligent rock music that always tells a good story. You can't ask for more. It's one bull's-eye after another, song by song. Unequalled genius. BUY THIS SET WHILE IT'S STILL AVAILABLE!!!

Phew!! It IS stenchy! But nicer than expected.
This cart is like a box of chocolates...you never know which one you're gonna get. :-) The one I rec'd is considerably nicer than the one in the pic. The front wheels are on swivels which I had never seen before on a cart like this. The only real advantage to that is it makes it a little smaller when folded up. It is black with very comfy foam on the handles. My hardware is fine and it was all there. All there was were 4 nuts and washers to attach the wheels and a mini wrench was included. The smell of diesel fuel will about knock you over when you open the box. I am guessing it's from the solid rubber wheels. I left mine in the garage for a few days and it's gone. I thought it was a decent deal with the free shipping.

A Classic!
This is my second pair of SportaPro's. That says a lot. I've been an audiophile for 20 years and have owned many high end phones. These are simply the highest quality portable phone ever made. Full spectrum uncolored sound for $22.72. What's not to like? They're legendary.They will eventually break due to the plastic components. My last pair did and they were promptly replaced under the lifetime warranty. The second breakage, and I must say I abused them pretty badly, I decided to give Koss a break. I could go on for a lifetime getting them replaced them over and over but I like them so much that I paid for another.Highly recommended, these phones have impressive sound, flexible wearing options (over top of head or behind) and the price is unbeatable. If you don't mind the slightly retro design, get a pair. You won't be sorry.

GE 27930GE3 2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone
I bought this phone at Office Max for the same price as Amazon ($$$). The price was good and the phone felt good in the hand. I liked the antenna lighting up - it gave a visula indication that it was working, but I wonder how much extra battery-time it sucks up. The clarity was good as long as you were near the base. BUT, the volume was too low, even at the highest setting. I kept having to ask my caller to repeat what they said. I also did my usual test of going outside and seeing how far away I could go before the signal became noisy. I barely got out the door before I got all this crackling and static. The range was no where near my two other 900 MHZ phones. Back to the store for a refund with this unit. Bottom Line: Nice features, nice price, poor performance.

I bought this 12 yrs ago and my little one loved it!
We lost our copy and I always said I wanted to find it again. It took awhile but I am so excited to have found it again. This cd from the moment-(literally)-that I put it on, my daughter fell in love. She immediately through her hands up into the air. This was the only cd that would quiet her down and put her to sleep. Now at 12, I want to get a copy so she can sleep at night since she has trouble sleeping. This is a wonderful cd for babies, children and adults since I found myself humming it myself. I can't wait to order a new copy and we won't lose it this time!!!UPDATE: Got it a few minutes ago and put it on and my 12 yr old is now knocked out on the couch at 12 in the afternoon...12 yrs later and it still works!!! LOVE THIS CD!!!

Great Product
I've always been a big fan of Monster products. I use them for every electronic connection in my house. This quality of this little splitter is no exception. We used it recently on a vacation so my wife and I could watch movies on my iTouch. I've owned a couple of cheap splitters in the past and both sounded terrible. I was constantly adjusting the mini-plug to eliminate static noises. This one worked beautifully. We watched 6 movies together and didn't hear one peep of static. Spend the extra $$. It's worth it. As the adage goes, you get what you pay for. Thanks to Monster for another great product.

A Classic!
I run a mens group that targets inner city boys. This film keeps me in touch. Though I grew up in the city, I now live in the county and sometimes that happens. The star Cain, is the typical inner city impovershed boy. So many social sciences are at play in him, everything from looking for confirmation from male peers, and needing the involvement of a father, to parenting and financial response. The Hughes Brothers made the film to explain these very items, to white America who always misunderstood us. The cherry on the cake was Caine dying. On Boyz in Da Hood, the star Trey lives and goes to college. The Hughes brothers frowned upon this, as it is not accurate to inner city boys. Instead, Cain, the star of Menace to Society dies, sharing with viewers the story of all of the other people who never make it. The sad ending was on purpose. Masterful.

A Perfect Watch
Like someone else said - this is a 5-star watch at a 1-star price. I'm very pleased with it. Everything I need and nothing I don't need. Hey, it even has instructions that are understandable!!On a side note - after many years, we still can't figure out my wife's digital watch - incomprehensible instructions. That's what I wanted to avoid with this purchase. I also wanted to avoid the larger G-shock models - they have a lot that are too bulbous for my wrist. This design is one of the smaller ones - I wouldn't purchase anything bigger.Alarms? I only need one. Readability - I need good contrast so it's easy to read. And, Indestructible! For $40? I love this watch and highly recommend.

Pretty lame
well theres 1 ol lady named Judy on the show that is obviously fake & over drama, an ol man that has 31 cats & I think most of the ppl on here have a mental disability, lol. But really, mostly its about afew places they check out, no1 has professional equiptment or know what their doing. Small investigations, mostly relying on the few that seem like their crazy to me. Its pretty boring. Not what I exspected & am very dissapointed. Gave it only 2 stars cuz I had nothing to watch anyways & it was there. Anticipated gettingthis dvd now that Ive seen it, wish I hadnt. Feels like I got ripped off. Anybody can get a camera & go around looking in the dark. The vision & sound on the dvd sucks. Seriously, take my advice, from a professional paranormal investigator, researcher & psychic, this dvd is a waste of time & money :(

Crispin- By Avi
Asta's son is what he's always been called. His place is so low in society that no one calls him by his real name; they don't know it, and they don't care. His only friend is the priest, Father Quinel. He doesn't have a mom or dad. Out of the blue, he is accused of a crime he didn't commit and has to flee his village. He doesn't know where he's going or what to do, and he finds out about his past along the way...I love this book! Avi brings you right into the action, I could not put it down! The language he used is awesome! If you start reading this book, do not stop!! Just when you think it's getting boring, an event happens that changes everything! If you like action, adventure and mystery, this book is great for you! This is one of my very favorite books, a must-read!

NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED!
I don't usually make it a habit to write reviews about movies I can't stand - because the interest and enthusiasm just aren't there. However, for this movie, I'll make an exception! This movie is TERRIBLE! As someone else so eloquently put, I WISH I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GIVE IT ONE STAR! It's draggy; the writing is dull; the characters might as well be made out of plastic; and it's not even scary or suspenseful in the least (and trust me, I'm someone who scares VERY easily)! What was with Johnny Depp's hair and accent? Pukesville. And what was with that woman's shorn head? Not attractive. Suffice it to say, I can't find a single good thing to say about this boring,ho-hum of a film. I can't even comment about the end, because I FELL ASLEEP! I'm just glad I rented the movie as opposed to buying it!

A SEXY THRILLER.
Great expections, was a good film. Although it left me in a world wind of confusion. "What was the girl's problem?" She was really flaky. While fin was a quiet and unusual young boy, he was also that way as he grew into a man. The girl, I forget her name, was a flaky young girl, and grew to be a confused young woman. She seem to be unsure of life and love. And the old woman that was raising her was a real piece of work, she was also weird. The story never tells if the old weird woman was her relative or not. Amazingly enough, I liked this weird movie. "How weird is that?"

Brain candy
I won't pretend this is great literature, or even great s.f. But it does make an entertaining read. Take one part *Mystery Men*, two parts Alan Moore's *Watchmen*, mix thoroughly and enjoy.This book is both a parody and an exploration of the comic book superhero universe. The protagonist is a man whose superpower is that he no longer exists . . . sort of. He's employed---sort of---by the man who created the universe . . . sort of. Nothing is quite as simple as it should be in this novel. While Maxey doesn't acheive quite the same character depth as Orson Scott Card, he shares his tendency to explore the mind even of his darkest characters.

Huge Disappointment. Nothing like the first movie.
Huge Disappointment. Nothing like the first movie. Animation was awful--wooden--cheap! I liked Anne Hathaway's voice better as red, the new girl doesn't fit the character. The writing was terrible. Ugh. Martin Short as Kirk was a waste of valuable finances that should have been put towards animation and hiring Anne Hathaway.... Oh, and why is Joan Cusack still around? She is barely tolerable with her brother carrying her, but by herself...just go away. Glenn Close barely sounded like Granny--lazy! Red's poorly animated face annoyed me even more so then her new voice. I had high expectations of this movie, being a huge fan of the first, but they just destroyed the whole franchise.

Metz MZ 28 CS-2
I received the shipment of the flash unit in short order. I have used the 28 CS-2 about four times. It really makes a difference in my photos. I use it with a small point and shoot Fuji F20 camera which takes real good pictures in low light. The CS-2 flash makes all the difference though as fill flash or as a flash from a different angle it removes alot of shaddow. It also throws light far beyond the limits of the built in flash, of the F20, which is by comparison quite weak. I was in the habit of just turning off the built in flash and forcing the camera to select a slow shutter speed and lower f-stop. It is easy to set up and the learning function is super. The unit is great because it gives you alot of control over the flash. There is a function to control the level of light output and manual settings are provided. It is compact and the bracket, which is collapsable, screws into the tripod mount and is adjustable for length.

Mehldau's Worst
I'm a fan of Brad Mehldau; he's an inventive pianist with good chops. Nonetheless Largo stinks for the following reasons: 1. The horn arrangements were musically unexpressive. They evoked neither emotion or interest and distracted me from the piano playing. Superfluous, cheezy, and annoying. 2. Mehldau's improvisations were inhibited. His playing was not as interesting or moving as on trio albums. 3. While I sometimes enjoy "jam band" and fusion albums, Mehldau doesn't sound good in that type of setting, at least on this album. Again, his playing is unexpressive.Largo isn't all bad. My favorite track was Dear Prudence; the tune sounded pretty in a jazz setting, and Mehldau played simple eloquent lines. But my overall opinion is that Largo is an overproduced cheap shot for a few extra bucks. Instead, I suggest "Introducing Brad Mehldau" or "Art of the Trio: Vol 1."

3D???
I bought the 3D version of this movie about a month ago and I had been saving it for the right moment to watch it. I had already seen the 2D version and thought it was an okay movie... not the best, but entertaining. After watching other movies on the same level, I realized that 3D makes some movies more enjoyable. Not this one. For the first half of the movie the 3D didn't even seem to be working. There was a couple times when I thought about placing the 2D disc in and finishing the movie that way because the 3D version wasn't worth wearing the glasses for 2 hours. So far, this is the worst 3D movie that I've seen. It didn't help that I had just watched Immortals right before it which was much better in 3D. I really didn't like that film in 2D and though 3D didn't make the story better, it was a visually stunning work of art that I couldn't turn off. Anyways, stay away from this one. Luckily I bought mine on sale and it included the Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital Copy.

If you love westerns
This movie is among my favorites. If you enjoy true, honest dialog between characters, then you will appreciate this movie. There is no Hollywood hype to be found. This movie reminded me of Silverado, The Lonesome Dove series and Open Range. I felt like I was "there".The story centers on a longtime friendship, and trusting relationship of two very likable characters from the old West. These two men had no angst or meaningless internal struggles with right and wrong. There are no "comedy of errors" or "hidden plot twists" for the audience to endure. (thankfully). The story moves along at an acceptable speed, and you never have to make excuses for your favorite character. If it takes explosions and filthy language to excite your movie watching, then you will be disappointed. But if you like a good story, then you should consider this movie.

MapSend Topo Review
I've had MapSend Topo for about a week now and I'm not impressed with it for the following reasons: 1. Doesn't contain trails. Why would anyone purchase a topo software package and not want trails? Big oversight by Magellan. 2. Doesn't recognize new zip codes or towns. I've had my zip code for almost 4 years...Topo says it's invalid. Can't find my friend's zip in VA either. One would think that Magellan would have up-grades on their web site that would up-date things like cities and zip codes. By the way, it's the same for MapSend Streets. 3. Too many bandaids and work-arounds to get a map into the GPS. Lots of rules here. No maps larger that 8Meg and only 4 of those or the GPS unit will lock-up. Haven't tried that yet but I'll take Magellan's word on it...By the way, it does work with WindowsXP. No problems there for me.

Horrible!!!
The description of these diapers is WAY off. I got these for my dog that just went into heat. They said they would fit a 25-35 inch waist, and my dog is a 28 and weighs around 70 pounds. I figured they'd be perfect. When I received that package, it said right on the side that the X-Large would only fit up to a 23 inch waist. It was a huge disappointment because there isn't any place around here to get these sort of products. At first I tried cutting it down the back, as another reviewer had said, but that still didn't give enough room. I then cut it down the front, too. After a short period the back ended up ripping. The next one I put on her I only cut down the front. It seems to be holding up okay, still a little snug around her waist and on her legs. Definitely don't buy this if you have a large dog. I uploaded a picture to the photos with the actual sizing that is on the package. Hopefully it helps someone else not make the same mistake I did.

Good-bye, Rabbi Small?
I own the entire Rabbi Small series and have enjoyed every book. It was fun to see how small ideas changed from book 1 to book 11 - having been written over a twenty-five year span of time. There is no Deus ex Machina - all the characters are there, didn't you notice? There is misdirection but only if you're not paying attention. Having grown up in decidedly Jewish Brooklyn, New York I still learned a great deal that I was not privy to in my formative years. I am certain that I still haven't gotten the cadence correct for the Talmudic chant and I am probably no more adept at a pilpul. This final (?) story is as tightly knit as ever. The murder is almost matter of fact, the reason behind it certainly is. But, who-dunnit? Ah, there's the rub.Thank you, Harry. You've done a masterful job.

FREEKS AND GEEKS ***** YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS
I missed this series when it was on TV. I don't know how! It is life as it was in the 80's. I know, I was there. I enjoy watching each episode over and over again, appreciating each character and their growth over the year. I love the way the writers handled all of those little traumas like teenage drinking, sex, family relationships, drugs, and all those other things that happen to us as we grow up. And the music? Well, I am now officially a DEAD HEAD! Listen to the director/cast narrations! You'll be amazed! Thank you creaters, writers, directors, cast, crew and all others involved for this gift.

Never buy this stuff
1. This frequently dooesn't work on a cloudy day or near an airport2. I live in NY and my work in Manhattan. But This only works normal only in 1/3 area in manhattan even with gps antena I bought seperatively(20dollor).3. It comes with 128 m memory card. But It can not have the minimal size of Map;Map for one state. So I had to buy 1 Mb SD card(40 dollor)4. It responds too late on a highway that I had to wait or go wrong way.5. Whenever I go long journey, I have to change Map with my Laptop notebook.6. Finaly I had to buy another one(c530). Unfortunately total price for c320. gps anttena and meory card was almost same as sigle c 530.7. Never buy this one please.

Waste of time and money
I bought this product b/c I can't stand the feeling of hair/stubble on my legs. I got sick of taking 20 minutes every other day to shave. This product indicated I could remove hair in about the same amount of time, but that it would last much longer than shaving. I purchased it and waited a week to receive it. Once I received it, I spent 40 minutes using it. In this time, I could have shaved both legs, both underarms, and my bikini line twice. Using this product, I was not even done with one leg. I went over the leg numerous times over that 40 minute period, and it did not remove a single hair. I pressed lightly, I pressed hard, I did everything but stand on my head and twirl my feet while rubbing my stomach, and nothing made this product work as indicated. Others may have had luck with it, but I did not. I was not impressed and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Six thumbs up!
All six people in our book club liked this one--a first since I've been a member (2 years). It's a great read. Wacky characters that are too "out there" to be made up. Smuggling. International intrigue. Obsession. The law of unintended consequences. Stupidity and/or corruption in high places. Big laughs. Environmental outrage.Hansen puts himself in the book as the active narrator, not in the heroic mold but, charmingly and candidly, as a guy who is just following his own curiousity and who often is mistaken in his intitial understanding of what is going on.Pick this book up and read the first paragraph. If you can walk away from it at that point, the book is not for you.

Movie spectacular...sound track less so
I loved the play. I loved the movie. I thought I would love the soundtrack. Until the talking started. I cannot stand soundtracks that are too lazy to remove the talk...that is sheer laziness. It's being pulled from the movie instead of being done totally separately. How lame. So while the music is probably great...who knows. I'm completely distracted because of the talk. Please, please someone come out with a soundtrack with NO talking. It doesn't need it. I buy the cd for the music. I buy the movie for the talk.

Won't buy these again
I do not care for these headphones. Here's why -When I opened the package I noticed there was a cord extension in there. I thought "now I'll have a nice long cord if I need one." Guess what? I needed it. I like to carry my radio in my pocket. The regular wire on the headphone did not even reach my coat pocket and I'm not even 5'2"! I have to use the extension and fold part of it up.If you move around (like walking) the buds (I only got 2 sets, not 3) slip right out of your ears. Maybe my ears are too small? It's annoying. The buds stay in if I sit on the bus not moving around.The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 is because once the buds are not falling out, the sound is pretty decent. If I hadn't had these sitting around for a few months before I tried them, I would've returned them.

Could have been much better
In reality, I give this 3.5 stars. This movie had so much more potential than was ultimately realized. I remember first hearing of the movie's concept...Will Farrell playing a NASCAR driver. I laughed at the mere idea. When I found out that it was the same guy that directed "Anchorman", my anticipation only rose. I guess that's a part of the problem with anticipation: you can't help but be let down the majority of the time.Don't get me wrong, it's a funny movie with some very funny moments. However, being a PG-13 movie, the target audience is somewhat broad and I believe the humor (and it's subject matter) was toned down to have more appeal. Had this been an "R" rated movie in it's theatrical version, I imagine it would have been much more entertaining. I don't know if I can really recommend buying this movie. "Anchorman" was one of those comedies that you can watch over and over, catching new subtleties each time. "Talladega Nights"...not so much.

Makes water taste good
I got this to replace the same model filter in my refrigerator. It was very easy to replace the filter. I just opened the box and got the filter ready. opened the fridge, removed the old filter and then put in the new one. I didn't need to shut off the water in my GE fridge since it has an automatic shut off when the filter is taken out. I ran a few cups(5-6) of water through the filter then let it sit for 3 hours then ran 3 more cups through before i drank from it. The water tasted much better than before.The only thing I do not like about this filter is the price. They seem to be marked up way above their production value. I do not like it when a company makes a product like the refrigerator and then makes it to use only their model of water filters, which they grossly over price. It means i am stuck paying big bucks to maintain something that should be much cheaper to maintain. I wish I could find a filter that is a cheap and reliable alternative.

paint ball pellets
i am not pleased with this shipment. When I ordered them they came within the stated time but when I opend the box the paintball has some broke and paint was all over. most sticking to each other. the packing was nil and probably would have helped from the pellets breaking. I did call the company, they were very good at replacing the order. BUT again no packing and the balls came broke and paint all over. I will give them another call. I will be taking pictures and sending the package back. I will not be ordering pellets from them again. I have no problem with the price. JUST THE WAY THEY SHIP

I love this bag!!!
I got this bag for a couple of my small Canon cameras to use when I travel. It will work beautifully and it's so sturdy i know it will protect my cams. It's plenty big enough for my two little Canons and all their accessories. The quality is very impressive. I have another Canon bag for my big Canon Rebel and all it's lenses and was hoping this bag was as sturdily made as my big bag. I was not disappointed. I went in to this purchase knowing it was small, thanks to all the feedback here about it's size. It is made with really tough materials. The snaps and clips are strong and the handle is comfortable on my shoulder. It was perfect for what I needed and it's too bad the description is misleading about it's size for those looking for a bigger bag. The price should be a good clue as to the size, my big Canon bag was over $70...just saying!

Great!
A friend of mine turned us on to The Wiggles. Her daughter loved them, so she sent my daughter her very first Wiggles video. Oh boy! My daughter loved it. So, now we have several additional videos for her to choose from. I decided to buy a CD (to get her away from the tv) and Yummy Yummy is the one I chose (she had not seen this video yet) and she loves it. We listen to it at least three times every day. She was wanting to watch the videos all the time, so the CD helps soothe the trauma we go through for not being able to watch the video. We dance together and sing the songs. Wags and Dorothy are her favorite characters, so we have to constantly listen to those two songs over and over. This is a must for all Wiggles fans.

I liked it bc it was about Mariah but could have been better
I read this book for two reasons. One, I love Mariah Carey, and two becasue I had a book report due for a Rock 'n' Roll class. I did not like the begining of the book at all. It focused too much on her mother. It also did not say much of anything about her life in school, which really upset me. There were two points in which the author misspelled her name! I was so shocked I almost put the book down! The pictures were all old and none of them were in color. And after all the fuss about her mother there should have been a picture of her in there!!! I wouldn't recomend the book to a Mariah lover but maybe to someone who has just heard of Mariah. Over all the book was a flop! Sorry, Mariah!

Repetitive x2
I had high hopes for this album after 2 previous great releases. And at first listen it does sound good. The hooks are VERY catchy. The problem is, that's all this album has got. Hooks looped over and over. Maybe it would make for good dancefloor music, but not anything else. I've tried to enjoy it in my car, but after the first 30 seconds I'm bored and want to skip to the next one..which cause the same thing to happen.It seems like Daft Punk thought they would be selling their songs to companies for 30 second commercials, similar to their brethren Air. Yes, Robot Rock would make a great Volkwagen commerical track. But real music it most certainly is not. Even today's youth with their short attention spans must surely get tired of this effort quickly. Let's hope the guys get their act together for the next album.

A story of devotion and an Impossible (?) Romance
POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! I first saw this movie on TV as a kid and I never forgot it. The ending haunted me. But I really enjoyed watching it again. Who knew Joan Collins could ACT? She brings a quiet determination and yet a fierceness to her part. And Richard Burton? I gotta say, it would be a tough choice as the movie shows. I understand that he did not want to do this movie but he still is Richard Burton and he graces anything he is in. Cy Grant, who died this year I believe, had a very distinguished career in Great Britain and was a well-loved figure, I understand. He brought dignity to his role. But of course, this being a movie of 40 yeas ago or so, you knew his fate right off. But it's kind of like the "Red-Shirts' of Star Trek. Oh well. But all in all, a wonderful story about an impossible (?) romance. The DVD set I bought has some very nice (and unusual) extras. Well worth the small price I paid.

Unimpressive
I like Diana and I think she's a pretty good singer, but this CD is totally unimpressive. Diana is still a work in progress. She can hit the high notes and hold them for a long time, but she has big problems with her lower register. When she sings low, at the beginning of Don't Cry at Loud and in Dreams, she sounds flat and at times nasally. She also totally lacks in emotion when singing.Why they had her release Don't Cry Out Loud is beyond me! Hated it in 1979 and hate it now. Dreams is a beautiful song. Unfortunately, Fantasia Barrrino already sang it and did a superior job. Same goes for I Believe. Diana just doesn't have the voice or the emotion of Fantasia so she shouldn't be singing the same songs.I wish Diana all the best. But this CD is a big-time SNORE.

Based on the beta
I have been on the beta program and can say the followingFor: Has the potential to be a killer game. Its huge and looks stunning. It should handle 1000s of players. The highest I saw was 3600 in the beta.Against: Potential being the key. Even on the final beta I still got 100's of error dialogs per session I played and it was laggy on ISDN. The game can be slow and take ages to get around. Mining is dull because it takes too long and the market economy was not working well, not enough demand for goods. Had to exit and restart to switch between space and docking modes because the game would freeze. I never saw some features in the beta so I dont know how they can be tested. Far to buggy at the mo. Give it a month or so and then see what the community is saying about it.

This book was good
In this book, Jess and Jeremy have to make decisions about College. Jessica realizes she wants to stay here in Sweet Valley while Jeremy wants to travel the country. While they are fighting, a character from the past shows up. As in SVJH. To find out who it is just read the book. Conner and Elizabeth have officially broken up after Conner finds out that Evan had a fling with Elizabeth during his absence. So he gets together with Alanna. Two recovering alchoholics should not get together. They are just baaaaaaaaaad for eachother. Actually, Alanna is bad for Conner. That is basically the plot of the book.

Great but could be better
I just bought this game and have been playing it for over 20 hours now. I love it It is a fantastic game but i do have some constructive criticism. One The creators spent a lot of time on the game world and not enough time on character anamation. The movement of the character when you are in a 3rd person view is verry chopy, or atleast i think so,. and the combat in the game is not as good as it could be. The combat could be more fluid. For instance why is it that when you jump you can not swing your weapon. And it is verry difficult to fight more than one enemy at a time because you have to turn and face them befor you can hit them. If anyone has played Fable for Xbox. you will know what i mean when i say the Combat should be more like that.

Truth is Lamer than Fiction!
I looked at this book and recognized a woman I know immediately. Gosh, the only problem is that she's in her late twenties...therefore NOT a 1970's ex-girlfriend of Mark Helfrich's. That made me wonder about the whole project. Not that there would be anything wrong with a series of short vignettes coupled with photos of models...but Helfrich presents this as something else. Then I read the definitive take on this in the New Yorker. Debate over, people. These are professional models. A true title for this book might be "Stories About My Ex-Girlfriends, With Naked Pictures of Professional Models." Hmmm. Might not sell so well, then, would it? Especially because the stories are kind of shallow and self-aggrandizing. National Lampoon did a feature like this years ago that was much, much better. And we all knew it was a joke.

Absolutely perfect
There is not one single bad thing I can say about this film. None. It is my 3rd most favorite film of all time. The acting is some of the finest out there, the costumes, plot, drama, wit; superb. I gush about this film to everyone I know. When I am in a foul mood, all I need to do is put this in my dvd player and I am perfectly fine 2 hours later. Anyone who is and isn't a Jane Austen fan should watch it. If you love period films, then this is the movie for you. Like I said, I could never critique it properly because I could never find the right words to describe it.Though people would consider it a 'chick flick', I have seen this with my fiance and he actually liked it as well. I cant stress enough how wonderful all the actors are. Kate Winslet, who is probably my favorite British acress is spectacular in this, Emma Thompson and of course the ridiculously perfect Alan Rickman all make this film worthwhile to watch.

DO NOT BUY FRIGIDAIRE
I bought a Frigidaire upright freezer in May with 1 year store warranty and 3 year bought warranty. After 7 weeks, the control panel went out and all my food inside the freezer spoiled. The warranty repair could not come out on friday and I asked about the weekend. They informed me the warranty did not pay them enough to come out on the weekend. They came on monday and said it was the control panel and would have to be ordered and it would be 2 or 3 days. By friday, I had not heard back from them. I contacted HH Gregg where I had bought the freezer. They could not get in touch with the repair company either. On monday, HH Gregg said they would just give me a new freezer. Their salesman told me that Frigidaire would pay for my spoiled food. Today I received a letter from Electrolux stating the contents were not covered in the warranty. The spoilage was a result of their shoddy work. Please think about this before buying anything with the Frigidaire/Electrolux name on it.

Poor little rich girl. A thin movie.
I'm not sure Edie Sedgwick ever was well known beyond the confines of the New York underground art scene. If someone is truly a celebrity you really don't have to do your homework. It was said she was Andy Worhol's muse. More like his pigeon. She would do anything to be in his scene & was sucessful in that, becoming for a time, the "It" girl. She financed his Factory movie studio & collection of syncophants & oddball neurotics. She was rich & when she was broke & addicted, Warhol simply discarded her. She was breathtakingly beautiful as is Sienna Miller the actress who portrayed her. But that is a rather common commodity. If Edie had talent as an actress, we'll never know. Apparently she was the inspiration for the Warhol quote: "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." So she was. In the end she died like too many of the young, beautiful & stupid, by an overdose of heroin. So sad. Not very original, but dead nontheless.

Love it. They update often
I have had this for almost 2 years. I have taken my boat to the bahamas twice. It works perfectly. I added a vision card, satelite weather and a Fuel flow sensor. The satelite weather is excellent but pricey through xm at $50 a month. But there are two lower tiers. They also let you cancel off season. You will need a $300 antenna for that. The sonar works great except for high speeds but that is an issue with my boat hull design I believe. The Fuel flow sensor was a huge pain to wire but it is nice to have. I also have it hooked to my Marine radio which will transmit and receive coordinates. Great visiblity in sunlight. No complaints. Xm radio controls from unit with weather. A visoin card is key for upper level funtions and routing. Great price for this.

A gem for all Moffo fans
Produced for Italian television in 1956, in black & white and with mono sound, this film (!!) showcases a young and very lovely Anna Moffo; probably at the beginning of her international career and most likely her first encounter with Bel Canto. Although sound and picture quality are not up to today's standard (who's surprised?) I dare call it a gem. And besides, it's the only SONNAMBULA on DVD todate. Moffo's singing is absolutely delightful and the camera loves her. Of the supporting cast I'd like to particularly mention tenor Danilo Vega and bass Plinio Clabassi. Both fine and very able singers. Bruno Bartoletti is the conductor and, among others, should be remembered for many years of excellent work at Chicago's Lyric Opera. In the tiny role of the Notary a veteran comprimario tenor: Giuseppe Nessi. In the Turandot premiere of 1926 he created the role of Pong. Finally: the picture on the case is not from SONNAMBULA. But it's Moffo alright. Enjoy!!!

Not made like it used to be
We ordered the track expansion set and were very excited. We have been using the brand Thomas the Train tracks by Learning Curve for three years and we have never broken a track. The new pieces we received seem as though they are made from different wood. I noticed when we opened them they were different, but I thought maybe it was b/c it had been awhile since we added to our collection. Not even one week of play (and really not hard play as they occasionally run a train on it!) and one of the straightaway pieces developed a crack and splintered off! What?? I know. I looked at the off brand track when I ordered and thought 'No I will pay more because I want this track to last.' I do like the switches and the T track, but for the cost vs. quality it does not add up. Buy the off brand and save your money. What a disappointment.

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME
I wish I could give this book 0 stars. I received it last week and read it in an afternoon. There's a summary page at the end of each chapter which Mrs. Rocks could have put into a $1.50 booklet and saved us all the $10.36 price of this useless book.Most of the suggestions in the book can be found in magazines such as Family Circle, Woman's Day, etc. and other self-help books. I was sooooooo NOT impressed with Mrs. Rock's writing and advice. She must think we are all as wealthy as her that we can hire a team of people to run all our errands and purchase $500 hand bags, and lease a new car every couple of years. I laughed thru most of this book. Skip it. There are so many organizing books out there with real advice for all. Read some books by Julie Morgenstrern and Don Aslett, to name a few.

Not as good as you think it is.
Sure, nice graphics. That's pretty much where it ends. Where MMORPGs strive to be something unique, this one fails brilliantly.I've read many reviews that say "OMG!!11! teh grafics r soooo uber cool!!111!!1". Children, one thing we've forgotten about games is that, sure, it can look great. But will you enjoy playing it? Will it give you the feeling that you're actually accomplishing something? This game does not.Let me share with you the negative points of this game:-Equipment price is outrageous.-Lag lag lag.-Nothing really interesting to do. Go out, kill, repeat.-This game is entirely PvP. Which means you're going to have 'veterans' come out and kill 'n00bs'. Not very fun for someone just getting into the game.-No point. I mean, what are you trying to do?So, with that said, don't waste your money like I did. There are other MMORPGs out there *ahem* Dark Age of Camelot *ahem* that provide much more than just a repeated formula.

A lot of words with no substance
I bought this book based on the title and gerneral comments made by the author. I've been looking for God in a desparate way for the last 3 years. This book was based on the events that occurred at a church in Houson. People falling down, the pulpit breaking apart, crowds pushing their way to the pulpit area, etc. Whether or not all this happened is besides the point of why I am giving it such a low rating. I read about a third of it and it was clear that this author lived by the motto "if you can use 100 words to describe something, why use one?" Also, I didn't get any practical guidance (perhaps he does his later). He talks a lot about who and what God is, but much of his writing is in the abstract. In chapter 4 (the last one I read) he seems to begin talking about how to ascend to this "secret path", but for the life of me, I just could not figure out how to apply it to my daily life. How to find God? Not by reading this book.

it works better than nothing
There is no easier way to store CDs, in my opinion, than inside good weight smooth paperboard also known as fiberboard but 5 X 5 inches is not wide enough; it scrapes the sides of the CD's playing surface going in and out, and the top gaps open so dust etc can enter. I bought some 5 1/8 by 5 1/8 inch very smooth, inside and out, like with a sheen that repels dirt and (crucial!) the edge where the CD is inserted has no roughness, no roughness at all. Now where did I get these sleeves? That's the question. Been using and reusing them for years. But these? Maybe to give with a CD or DVD enclosed to someone who will then download CD and toss the cover. But no use if needed for regular storage. The first sleeve I bought scratched the first CD I put in it the very first time. All those firsts added up to one big last time I buy this size!

Price Too Good to be True - It Was
Ordered a part for my Honda that priced out at 3x the price everywhere else. No problems with the order or vendor shipping the item. At the time I placed the order I confirmed that the part would fit my car using the utility provided. Everything checked out. The part arrived within a couple days in good condition. The part was of good quality but was not OEM. I noticed immediately that the electrical connectors were not the same. For the price, I figured it would be still worthwhile to modify it to make it work. No dice. It was a lesson learned. Not very costly in money terms but nevertheless too good to be true.

Not user friendly
Bought this phone for my wife, on paper it looks great. Replaces a pda, mp3 player, digital camera (occasional use), and can be used to for light internet use. We loved that it comes with the Mobile Office (MS Word and MS Excel which we use all the time). She didn't have an iPod yet so this was a great option for her.Right out of the box this phone was a problem. After loading the software we could not get the phone to sync correctly. I spent 2 hours every day for 2 weeks trying to get all of the functions to work correctly. Multiple visits to the tech support forum and on the phone with tech support.Now I'm a faily savy guy. I built my computer from scratch. If I can't get the software to work correctly there's something wrong.This phone was a huge waste of money. It just never delivered, at the time it was about $400 out of pocket. I don't have the words to describe what a massive dissapointment this phone is.

ACK! ACK! ACK! (trans: Tim Burton Is Our leader!)
MARS ATTACKS! is sort of a melding of EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS and WAR OF THE WORLDS, w/ the ingenious idea of both paying homage to and doing a parody of 50s sci-fi in general. Using the infamous trading card collection as inspiration, Mr. Burton fleshes it out w/ non-stop hilarity and satire. The cast of big-name stars reminds me of the cast of IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, WORLD. The martians are perfectly sinister in their bid to destroy mankind. The scene w/ Lisa Marie as the "hot" chick / martian in disguise is a classic! The weapon that finally proves to be the martians' undoing is VERY similar to that found in ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES, and even more effective! Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors. His oddball stuff never ceases to intrigue and / or entertain me. Long may he live...

A deeper, more mature album both lyriclly and musically.
When I first heard Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" I had no idea who they were but I really liked the song. When I found out who their parents are, I realized it all made sense. Their first CD was great. This one takes the trio in a whole new direction. The songs deal with more personal issues, including family rifts. It shows that they are more than pretty faces with pretty voices. I wished it had done better commercially because there are some killer songs. "You Won't See Me Cry" is a great hook filled song. "Flesh and Blood" is a deeply personal, well-written song with their trademark sterling harmonies. "It's Only Life" also is great. Their voices blend superbly. Take a chance and listen to it. You won't be disappointed.

It's taking FOREVER !!
What in the world is taking so long? It's just getting longer and longer. It seems like the best shows take the longest to get released. It makes no sense to me at all. I love this show, and I always will. Long live Archie Bunker ... If they would ever release this season???? And, don't forget seasons 8 and 9 too. It will probably be 2011, By the time we all get to enjoy ALL the seasons!! Anyways, Let's all hope this comes out soon !!!

I got a PSP for Christmas and saved up all of my Christmas money to by LCS. This game is so cool! The storyline is understandable yet very descriptive and deep. Though the graphics such as occasional blurs and sudden stopping could be fixed the game is very strong. This game was my first GTA game. I had played San Andreas and Vice City at my friends houses. I was blown away! I had never seen games like these where you could just roam around and do whatever the heck you wanted. So when I heard that there was a GTA game coming out for PSP I asked for a PSP for Christmas along with GTA. As I said I saved up for GTA so I didn't get it for Christmas. When I bought it it was one of the greatest days of my life! Nuff said.

A Classic...R.I.P. Nothingface 1995-2004
I paid 17 bucks for this...I normally don't pay over ten bucks for CD's, but I couldn't find this used, as a lot of people like Nothingface, so I bought it for 17 bucks. None of those 17 bucks were wasted. You are probably thinking that Nothingface is "yet another nu metal band". Wrong. Nothingface, unlike many of the carbon copies, know how to deliver some brutal stuff. These tracks are all classics. "Breathe Out", "Goldtooth" and "So Few" are the best tracks on this CD, along with "Grinning", "The Sick" and "I, Diablo". I recommend this for people like me who don't necessary like nu metal, but they like the stuff by artists such as Helmet, Vision Of Disorder, Earth Crisis, Will Haven and Killswitch Engage. I guarantee that you will not waste a minute of your time. Calling this "nu metal" would be an insult. This is just straight forward metal.

Great Cd!!!
I don't think comparing this cd to it's past ones is fair. I think this cd is really great. I had to get it before I went on vacation. But still something is bugging me a bit, it isn't very ska. They pride themselves on being ska, and yet there cd doesn't sound very ska to me. Where is the trumpets? It is still a great cd. Probably my favorite in my cd collection right now. I think it deserves 4 stars, it is wonderful, but missing the ska feel and style. Over all it is a great cd!!!

I got a lemon
I bought this iron 6 months ago. Over the last few weeks of ironing, it has left rust stains on my clothes. I have been using distilled water, and keep my iron very clean. I even emptied out the water and re-filled the tank! The rust seems to be leaking out of the tip of the heating plate. What a waste of time to do the wash then almost finish ironing your favorite pair of white pants, THEN have to throw them right back into the wash again. I am a very busy working, first time mom, I don't have time for such business. Yesterday, during my ironing the heat element completely shut down. I couldn't understand at first why the darn shirt wouldn't iron. I have not been able to heat the iron since. I guess she just died on me. I wonder if the other comments written on this site were from the company????

not what i thought
My father, my friend mandy and i watched this movie last night. we were all very disappointed. we thought the movie wasn't realistic. we watched the news and saw all the firefighters and police officers running into the buildings trying to help the people. in this "movie" we saw them leisurely walking around, even stopping to have nice conversations with each other about what they thought was happening. we were really disappointed with the search scene. it made the men and women of our country look like quitters because it was getting dark. we were under the impression that they search through the night. at least that's what we saw on the news. guess we were wrong. all together i would have to say i'm glad i borrowed this movie from a friend instead of wasting my money buying or renting it.

solved all my problems
My belt was squeaking like crazy. Embarrassing crazy. I replaced the tensioner, the idle pulley, the alternator, the power steering pump. All to no avail.If you put a drop of oil/belt dressing/water/mountain dew on the ribbed side of the belt it goes quiet for a bit. Then the noise comes right back.This works ONLY for the 3.0 engine.Installed this part and troubles melted away. Took me 25min. Halleluiah!Here's a tip:Put a small ratchet with a 8inch extension bar and 15mm socket in your right hand. Reach around the back of the motor with your right arm. Hug the motor with your left arm, putting your left hand behind the tensioner on the back side of the motor to feel for where the nut is. Using your fingers on your left hand, direct the socket held in your right hand onto the bolt. Turn it off.

Misrepresented and disappointing
First of all, this lamp is not made by Hunter. It is an off-brand. It looks very little like the picture shown. The shade is easily twice the size as the one shown, the measurement given for overall height is correct, but the shade hangs at 4 feet. Sitting in a chair the light sits on top of your head, literally. The lamp arc is nearly as wide as it is high. Placing the base of the light half the room away. It is very awkward. I purchased on the Friday Sale for $59. Now that I have it, I wouldn't pay $5 for it. It is heavy and I'm sure it will cost me a fortune to ship back, but I regret this purchase and urge you to think twice before purchasing this.

WATCH OUT ! RED DYE IS BAD for HUMMINGBIRDS !!
Do NOT FEED Hummingbirds any mixture or concoction with RED DYE in it ! IT'S VERY HARMFUL to them !! The same red dye (Red Dye #40) has been proven harmful to humans.If you feed hummingbirds, there are many simple 2-ingredient (sugar and water ) "recipes" online. Very simple and very inexpensive !!Come on Perky Pet - you make so many good products - this PRODUCT is WAY BELOW YOUR STANDARDS. There are many safe natural red dyes - although, if the plastic feeder tube is red, who needs RED DYE at all? The whole idea is just to attract their attention to the feeder initially. They DO NOT PREFER sugar water with red dye !!! Red Dye # 40 IS HARMFUL !!!!

recently started clicking with my new cocker spaniel puppy
So far I have really enjoyed this book. I like the pictures. I think that the information in this book is great. My puppy is 4 months old and caught on to clicker training instantly with the help of this book. I am so happy that I bought it. I think that it was a great investment for me and my puppy. I do wished that it had a little more in it. I do think that each trick is precise; however, I do wish there were more tricks to teach. My puppy now knows how to sit, lay down, and come. She absolutely loves playing the games. It is fun for me and her. Fabulous tool if you would like a well behaved and well trained puppy.

The LAST RAKOSH a giant ripoff
I have read every F.Paul Wilson 'repairman Jack' novel. I usually find his books nice light reading. His last effort 'The LAST RAKOSH' is not a new book. All the author did was take his novel 'ALL THE RAGE', remove two thirds of the story and reprint the rest of it under a new title. Read the last page of both stories, they are identical. I paid $4.99 for the special edition of all the rage, nice price and a nice book. I then paid $14.95 to buy The LAST RAKOSH. What a giant ripoff. I really feel that Mr. Wilson and his publishers should be ashamed. So save your money and but All The Rage. Why waste your money on one third of the story. I think Mr. Wilson owes my $14.95 plus shipping!Mr. Wilson is lucky I don't know how to find Repairman Jack.

Great Buy
I bought this crib 16 months ago for my son. So far it has held up very well and has worked great. My only complaint is that the wood is a little soft. Once my son got his teeth, he started chewing on the side rails and some of the finishing came off. I know you can purchase protectors for the rails, however, and I'm sure that would solve that problem. Other than that, this crib is great. It's very large and gives my son plenty of room to roll around and get comfy at night. The front is a little tall as others have stated. I am 5'5" and have to really stretch to set my baby down at night. The mattress is at the lowest level. But I manage without too much trouble. I would recommend this crib to anyone. Its very easy to put together and moving this mattress down is a cinch. The slats are close enough I'm not worried about little arms or legs getting stuck. And this crib is VERY sturdy and well made. I'm sure it will last though my son's growing needs.

An album for die hard fans or collectors only
I have always thought Stryper was a very good band. Not because of their supposed message or beliefs, but because they really are good musicians. I know this album has mostly received bad reviews & a lot of accusations about selling out. The bottom line is IGWT is a lousy album in comparison to their prior & later albums. There are only two songs that come close to rocking. The title track & The Reign. The latter being harder but the former being the better. But neither of them have the feel of their earlier rock tracks. Even the ballads on the album lack the feel of their predecessors. The majority of the songs on IGWT are mid tempo that lack any real luster or direction. The only positive to having this album is if it completes your collection. Otherwise unless you are just a diehard Stryper fan, I would not recommend wasting your money on it.

Worth the Hype
Finally, a book that was well worth the wait. The story of Colin and Penelope was been waiting in the wings with each subsequent Bridgerton novel. It seemed only fitting that Penelope should get this particular man. Way to go Penelope. Buy this book. Read the entire Bridgerton series. There are few authors whom have been able to keep up the high standards as they continue to write about the same family, each time featuring different members. Heck, the only author I can think of who has truly pulled this off before is Johanna Lindsey with the Malory clan. Well Julia Quinn you are in a class of your own with your amazing brand of humor and caring. Oh, and for finally revealing the true identity of Lady Whistledown. That is truly a moment to cherish. This is a book to cherish and put on an often reached for shelf with all the other Bridgertons so that you can read them over and over again.

What a Croc! (In a good way!)
I wasn't sure what to expect from this little gem from Australia, but I was really surprised and pleased with "Rogue" had to offer. Greg McClean (Wolf Creek) did a great job directing this film for a number of reasons. The first and biggest is the fact that we don't see the crocodile that much. I know, sounds like it could be a let-down, but like the shark in "Jaws," it really adds to the suspense and enjoyment of this film. The other is the breath-taking cinematography. The Aussie landscapes never looked so good. And the special FX are great; by far the most realistic crocodile I've seen in a movie yet. It blows "Lake Placid" and "Primeval" out of the water in this department. Overall the acting was moderate, but nothing you wouldn't expect in a "B" horror movie and the story is fairly believable. The suspense is great and each time you get to see the croc it's a treat, especially in the climax. Good film for the horror fan.

Want the SW trilogy? Get the one on Varese Sarabande!!
I already owned another "Star Wars Trilogy" on "Varese Sarabande" recording label. I have to say that this version (on "Sony" music label) is not as good as the Varese one. The Sony recording is boomy and somewhat loose. The Varese is very tight and with better sound all around. The orchestra on the Varese is the Utah Symphony Orchestra conducted by Varujan Kojian and their performace beats the one on this CD. Yes! Even if this one is conducted by Mr.Williams himself. Trust me. I've been listening to classical music since I was a child and I can tell a good performance from a not-so-good one. For instance the timpani (the big noisy drum) in "The Asteroid Field" goes pratically unnoticed on the "Sony" recording; on the "Varese" you can hear those timpany loud and clear! The tempo on the "Varese" recording is not loose as it is on the Sony recording. Do yourself a favour and don't get this recording; get the "Varese Sarabande" one, instead.

Sub-Woofer Problems
The speakers arrived slower than expected. I installed them, which went quite well and then tried them out. The sub-woofer would not work. I had to call the Supplier (Electronics Expo) and he asked that I call the Infinity tech center to verify that the equipment was bad. I then had to call the Supplier back and get an shipping return lable. The Supplier was easy to work with and propmt they did everything that they could to make things better. But, I then had to take all the speakers down, re-package them and return them. Three weeks later a new set arrived and they worked fine. The Supplier gets good marks for service, Infinity gets bad marks for supplying speakers that were defective. As I have read in other reviews the quality of the Sub-woofer appears to be weak. So far they have been in service for a month without another failure. Time will tell if it was a good choice.

Ipod is the greatest
This is the best purchase I have made in a long time. Easy to use, easy to set up. Just went to ITunes. I put all my CD's on it, just insert CD, list of songs appears, check the ones you want and transfer. Just as easy to buy tunes. Sound is excellent. Portable. I didn't like the earbuds, but I bought a cheap pair that hook over the ears and still sound great. I had a portable CD player, it skips, is big, and have to carry CD's around. None of that with the ipod. If anything happened to this, I would buy another Apple ipod.

both the 1997 and 2008 release stink
Why Helios Creed didn't push for higher quality control, I don't know. The music is excellent as is typically the case with Helios Creed but if you buy any version of the album prepare to be screwed. The 1997 CD won't play on a computer! Why? Was Cleopatra that ahead of the downloading and CD copying game that they refuse to let me play it on media player? And the 2008 version is recorded with glitches and skips! I thought my CD was scratched but that's how it was mastered! I haven't heard the LP version but read that it also contains the skips! The only benefit is that if you never listen to CDs on the computer, it shouldn't make a difference with the old version while the reissue contains three neat bonus tracks which sound fine I suppose. But come on, this is a professional release. There should definitely be a recall but since the indie scene isn't dominated by Chrome/Helios Creed fans, I feel you're just gonna have to get shafted.

Great Toy
At first I thought "Man, there's a lot of parts to this thing," but it is very easy to put together and went together quickly. I put it together right before I made supper. It has the perfect things babies love. Things to flip open and shut, soft squishy things, things to spin, a mirror. Everything somes off easy when you need to clean it. This is new for my third child. Our other saucer was given away. This one is so much better. It doesn't have too much on it, just enough. Our babies have all loved using an exer-saucer. As soon as they can hold themselves up sitting (around 4 or 5 months) we put them in an exersaucer. It really does free me up and keep them happily occupied. Plus, the price of this one is great. Some cost so much more and you don't have to pay more. This is great.

Archipel Gulag
Imagine, something really bad happens to you, and someone tells you, this happens because of some crimes of your former life. You do not know what those crimes are. You do not know who you were in your former life. You do not even believe in such a thing as a former life. You get no chance to defend yourself against the crimes you supposedly have committed. There is no trial, there is no carefully selected jury. All there is, is a verdict, your pain, and this person who is accusing you of your alleged sins. And to make his point this person tells you about his and his friends mighty powers. In what situation are you? In Stalin's interrogation chamber? In the hands of the Mob? Wrong! You are reading Yogananda's book philosophising about Karma! Yoga might be a powerful tool for some people, but its ethics, as they appear in this book, are less than doubtful.

Wonderful book!
I am interested in the history of ancient Egypt since circa 40 years. This book opened my eyes about the hundreds of years before the first dynasty, like no other book until now did. It also explains the close connection of the ancient Egyptians with nature. A people living mainly of cattle and hunting. The rock carvings in the eastern dessert preludes all the icons of later historic times in an amazing way. Totally unknown until for short. The book is very well written and with good pictures and drawings. It is not directly with a lot of scientific references, probably because of the lack of scientific groundwork available until now. It is very important that more work and conservation of the sites and the carvings is done before they disappear. A wonderful book that I have read in only three days but will read more and more times again. Very well done!
