not even meant to be a musical toy
|
Completely out of tune. I don't expect a toy like this to be perfect, but you can't even play any recognizable tunes. What's the point of music sheets if no one can recognize what you're playing anyway.I called customer service and they told me that it's not intended to be a musical instrument (even though they clearly advertise this product to have "clear and accurate tones"). I was told that it's just meant to be a toy for banging on. When I brought the discrepancy on the product description to their attention, they didn't seem to care at all. They also told me that I should tap on it lightly. First, that doesn't make a difference. Second, a toy for toddlers that's meant to be tapped on lightly?! Seriously?! Have these people ever seen or met a toddler?!Worthless product, i can have my kids bang on pots and pans for FREE. Based on this product and customer service, will not be buying from Litte Tikes again.

awesome!!!
|
harry potter's books are the best! i had never been interested in reading a book before! i used to hate reading until this book came to my hands. it is awesome. at the beggining, i was not interested because i used to say that by watching the movie was enough, but i was wrong!! i started by reading the first pages thinking that i was not going to be able of finishing it, but byu the contrary, i read it really fast. at nights, i could not stop reading. it was like a sort of magic that pulled me to keep on reading until i finished it! then, i had to run to get the second book, and the thierd and then the fourth! and i am so impatient to read the fifth book!, i cannot wait anymore! thinking that i am going to have to wait until this coming june to read the fifth it's killing me! i really apreciate the imagination of this excellent woman that entartain not only kids but adults by writing these books and hope she can continue doing it!! I MYSELF KNEEL TO HER!! WHAT A MIND!

another disappointment
|
Got this to try along side a mot H700 (another disappointment). The comfort level is VERY good on this unit. VERY easy to pair and operate and very good incoming sound. Ougoing is another matter. What good is it for you to hear and others to not hear you? This seems to be the way Motorola works.I called Motorola tech support and was told "I don't have that unit as they don't make a 605". When I read the pkg. the "tech?" told me well just return it. We don't make these units to work with CDMA (read I have a Motoroal E815 on Verizon) but for GSM.So I don't know what I will do at this point. BTW the outgoing voice on this is so bad that in even a VERY quiet car with no windows open and no radio on you are rendered unintelligible. I only gave it 2 stars because of incoming quality and comfort. Otherwise for performance and support I'd have to say -2

Street Rats to Singing Stars
|
Newsies, in one word...WOW! With livley choreography, wonderful music, and amusing characters it is a baffling surprise that Newsies did not perform better in box offices. As a 17 year old one might think Newsies is a little to childish for me. I have grown up with this movie. It is so popular in my circle of friends that we find ourselves begging our music and drama teachers to let us perform it. Unbelievably, the movie was never scripted for public use so we must settle with the movie, soundtrack, and songbook. Newsies is a rare jewel in movies today. Never again will one find a more delightful family film. I give this 5 stars and my personal thumbs up. What are you waiting for? BUY IT!

Maximum Suspense!
|
Kubrick made this a masterpiece. More times than not, Stephen King's books are made into a joke on the big screen. This adaptation was definitely not. Kubrick was thought to be a genious... The Overlook Hotel somewhere in the hills of Colorado - what better place for Nickolson to strut his absolute best work. Shelley Duvall was an excellent choice to play the scatterbrain wife with the wide popping eyes at all the right times. The flashbacks and things little Danny sees really set the stage and without being graphic or gross - totally horrifies you. A few memorable scenes... 1. The Interview, 2. Nicholson is interrupted by Duvall while typing, 3. Nicholson chasing Duvall up the stairs and cornering her in the bathroom, and 4. the chase in the snowy cold garden labyrinth. Do not watch this film alone at night. Classic horror/suspense film that belongs in any movie buff's library.

Nice Idea, Poorly Implemented
|
I'm a music junkie, and I'm determined to pass this particular affliction down to my son. So, when I found this crib-mounted CD player I had to have it! I loved the concept, but once put into use, I was disappointed. My experience and opinions:* Poor battery life, and the battery compartment is difficult to access.* The brackets that that hold the player onto the crib are made of the same hard plastic as the rest of the player. If you have a crib like we do with a painted finish, beware of scratches. I've lined them with felt.* Inconsistent play with "burned" CDs.* Overall the product feels a bit cheap.Some of this could be overlooked if it wasn't a $50 product. That's a lot of cash for a very basic CD player.A thoughtful product. Someone at First Years was thinking out of the box, but ultimately at this price point I expected more.

I Feel Abused
|
Lets just focus on the fact that this game does not come with any kind of manuel. In fact, you have to buy the manuel for $30 more dollars. How on earth can a flight sim come with no manuel. How on earth can they actually expect you to pay extra for it. Flight sims are complex, involved, and require a lot of commands to learn and play the game properly. Especially this one. The game also requires a pretty high end system to run well, and not to mention its buggy release is completely pitiful. Don't buy this game. If software companies can release a game like this and make a profit, god only knows what we are instore for in the future. And as far as giving this game a chance, ok, wait till its price goes way down, they give us a manuel, they fix it, and the technology catches up. Then maybe it will be a good purchase. This is a complete abuse of a consumers trust.

TIPS TO MAKE WORK BETTER!
|
This product really does work! I am a side sleeper and starting to get chest wrinkles. To make it stay in place at night, grab a t-shirt or rolled up towel, wear some kind of a tank top or tighter fitting top to bed to help keep it in place and put the rolled up towel or tshirt between your breasts after you put the pad on and it helps keep the pad in place all night so you don't have to worry about it! I have used rubbing alcohol to clean mine. I spray it on a let it sit for a while and then I rinse off in really hot water and that seems to help keep the stickiness way longer. Plus I don't use a lotion or anything at night. I put that on in the morning so that it doesn't make the stickiness go away. I make sure to wash my chest before and put it on after it's dry. And that seems to help it stick really well.. I only gave it 4 stars because I think it's pricey for a tiny pad but definitely works!! and for those who say it's too big, just cut it to a size that works for you!

Absolutely adore this book!
|
I picked up this book and could NOT put it down. I am a self-confessed scrap-a-holic and also am a big fan of Simple Scrapbooks magazine. I had thought about purchasing this book for a little while, and I am now so glad that I did. Stacy Julian's passion for scrapbooking is completely contagious, and immediately made me want to get to it. The fun, inspiring quotes and pages in this book are wonderful. The interactive pockets and tags in the back of the book for you to complete later were a wonderful project that really made me see, "The big picture!" I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to scrapbook, who needs a good (if not GREAT!) system to putting pages into their albums (hers is magnificent!) and who would love some extra motivation and inspiration in their hobby. It is my life goal to document our life and the small and precious moments of my family. Buy this book, you will not be disappointed!

Don't waste your time and money on this nonsense.
|
If amazon.com would let me, I'd give this book a rating of ZERO, because it doesn't deserve even one point. This book was a YAWN. The writing is pretentious and irritating. The story is un-compelling and the outcome is obvious from page 1. I don't understand all the hype surrounding this weak piece of garbage. The only reason I bothered to finish it is because I was convinced it had to improve (or rather, I did not want to believe that the entire book could be so bad). Well, I was wrong. This book stinks from cover to cover. There are many excellent books out there to read, so don't bother with this one! The silver lining: If you have trouble falling asleep at night, this book will do the trick. It is an excellent sleeping pill.

ummmmm.......

This book is pretty bad, and it's really really wierd. If you enjoy wierd stories where you can't keep track of anyone's name (unless you read it more then once, and who would want to?) and everyone dies or dissapears, this is the book for you! Of course, who likes stories like that???? I liked the middle fairly well, but at the end, I didn't like it at all!!!!! The only reason I finished it was because I had to do a report on it for school. I told my teacher that the book was bad, and other kids did too. We got her to read it, and that decided her. She didn't like it either. Next year, she's going to do something different. Hooray!!!! I don't know a single person who likes this book. No offense to the author, but I don't know why it was published.

Could be sturdier.
|
We had this chair for 14 months... I sat down and it broke. I'm under 200 lbs. The front end of the chair gave way. It turns out there isn't a lot support around the edges that hold the cushion up. When I sat down, screws that held the cushion up ripped from the frame. The screws were only about 1/4 inch from edge of frame, if that.If you want inexpensive. This chair may be for you. Just don't expect long life.Update 9/27/08went to home depot and got a 1/4 inch thick piece of plywood cut to fit chair. Cushion back on top... an inexpensive fix! Good as new!

Disappointed in the Picture Quality
|
This camera is a nice idea however it isn't worth a dime. The camera is durable but my daughter only used it once. She got it shortly before we had our second baby. She took pictures of her new sister and none of the pictures were worth printing. My daughter is a natural photographer and was disappointed to see her pictures on the computer look so bad (blurry, grainy and dark). Now we let her use our camera. Hopefully they make a much better kids camera because the idea is a good one. Don't waste your money on this camera. It would be wiser to do your research on cheaper digital cameras and get a regular camera instead. From our experience cameras take a beating and continue to work. Thank goodness because ours has been dropped many times. GET A DIFFERENT CAMERA!

Every good story was borrowed from a previous one
|
This is a book or a novel that is suppose to entertain....Every book, every story has borrowed ideas from somewhere... West Side Story? Twilight? sounds like Romeo and Juliet.... Look at all the Dracula stories or Werewolves stories... There are so many adaptations of Cinderella from all over the world... In every book you can sense oh I read that somewhere before... It's a great tool for writers to allow their readers to feel comfortable with the story... It gives the readers the background knowledge to appreciate the story more... It's a reference point... It adds to their reading skills as well because it is fluid... they don't have to stop and wonder what's going on... I am rambling...My point is to read the book for the sole purpose of entertainment... It may resemble another book but there are new antagonist and protagonist that are interesting... Don't take everything to seriously...

Nice design concept. But Performance trouble
|
I used this mouse with my Sony Notebook especially for Skype communication. I could find this mouse has malfunctions. The first problem was that the external speaker (Microphone mode)of this mouse was not stable and not working after a few days using. But the phone mode is still working. I tried to find the reason through the program setting on my computer. But there was no problem and I could understand the hardware of this mouse itself has a performance or quality problem. And the other problem was that sometimes the cursor was just moved to upside, and it was difficult to find where is the cursor. When I purchased this, the price was very good. But I did not expect this situation. Even if I contact the seller with this issue to ask changing this to the new one after 2 weeks of my purchasing, there was no response. So I listed this issue on the claim list of Amazon.com. I am still waiting for the answer. I think already about one month has passed.

Everlast Isn't like Wine...
|
Now do not get me wrong; I am a huge Everlast fan. This album is not that good. It has all these guest singers...WHY! I want to hera Everlast. The man does not need all these people taking up space on this album. He did it when he was with HOP..featuring him..or featuring this group..JUST STOP. I bought the CD to hear YOU. Also I went to see him twice in concert; once at a small venue and he was great. Then at the Sony E center and he went on an hour earlier and honestly played 20-25 minutes...I was so angry. If I went to the bathroom I woulda missed him. Also this Cd does a cover of a Slick Rick song...WHY? If you are rock a billy...then so be it.. do us all a favor and reunite HOP.

Very deceptive labeling
|
Pure Planet Amla-c front labeling says package contains 200 tablets (500mg). If you look on the nutrition labeling on the back, it shows that you must consume 10 tablets to equal 112% of the RDA (Recommended daily allowance = 80 mg/day). This works out to 9 mg of vitamin C per pill!!! So, to equal 500mg as the front label indicates, it actually takes 56 tablets -- not 1 tablet !!! I believe the 500mg stated on the front label may actually represent the weight of each tablet (consisting of compressed Indian Gooseberry) but not the weight of vitamin C. If you want to take 500mg of vitamin C daily, this bottle of 200 tablets will last a whopping 4 days !!! A month supply, therefore, will cost about $170.00. What a rip off!! Want to save some money and a mouthful of dried gooseberries? -- Eat a lime.

Dangerous!
|
I ordered an Apple power supply last August 2008 through Amazon.com from Brilliant Store. Without my prior knowledge, they sent me a Chinese knockoff 'Replacement AC Adapter Model no. A1184.' My daughter has been using this supply with her MacBook. Tonight, the power supply melted down, literally, and became a very hot wad of white plastic. Needless to say, it doesn't work. I am very disappointed in this supply. It is dangerous to use. The title of the supply clearly states "Apple MagSafe 60W power adapter." This is not an Apple supply. This supply had the same current rating as the original supply. Avoid this supply and avoid future fires. Buy ONLY genuine Apple adapters for these computers!

Strong female characters
|
I read 2-3 books a week. This entire series is the best read I have had in ages. I think I could have easily read another 10 books in the series. I didn't want it to end. I love strong female characters like those found in this book. I tried a couple of books by Oke alone. I couldn't get into them because the female characters where extremely weak, always crying, stopping to pray every 5 minutes & their primary goal in life was finding a man. God is a feature in this series, but I didn't feel as if I was being preached to constantly like other Oke books. The only negative I have about this series is that I think that another entire book could have been written to wrap up the ending. I felt it ended in a very rushed way. Otherwise it was an excellent series.

Eric Fail For Gardiner
|
I'm a fan of some of Gardiner's work. Not this! I am so glad I did not buy it. Not only does the movie not make any attempt to provide a concise trip through its material, but it provides it in such broken fashion that you never know where it is going or why. Also, a large amount of the 75 minutes are nothing but unrelated pictures and music. Seriously, the narrator will take a pause while blurry images of old lamps are shown and rock music played... then more nonsense rambling.... then more pointless, unrelated pictures of household items with piano music...Philip majorly failed here. Did he have something to say? Who the heck knows. There certainly are not any hidden messages or subtext either. This is either a blatant attempt to make money from previously satisfied customers or evidence that Philip's opinion of his own work is not in alignment with his actual skills. I personally believe he needs to check his compasses.

Junk
|
I am an advanced computer user. I use photoshop everyday. I am able to use every feature in all my photo editing software (4), but not Picture Show. It will not burn to cd or dvd. It refuses to back up any project of any kind. It runs fine on testing the slide show, but it will not burn. The sofware fails to save to hard drives. I installed and uninstalled 3 times. I took the software to another computer, with same results, nothing. I have wasted 9 hours and 46 minutes, including repacking it for return. Save your time and find a better product.

Waste of money
|
Who did the production for this? A High School video class? The lighting sucks. The video production sucks. The audio sucks!!! I've done better videos using my Panasonic VCR camera and Nero!! The video has text pop up on the screen with the song name and other things. The audio is WAAAAY over-modulated especially for the keyboards. I tried to watch it 3 times and finally decided to trash it. Was not worth my time OR my money!!!

HUGE Disappointment!!!!
|
I would NOT recommend this DVD. It is a serious disappointment. The graphics are poor. Anna does her routines in front of an obvious static set that is more distracting than calming. The cardio section is weak. She dances around and looks rather ridiculous. She is also off beat several times. I expect that a cardio workout would be more involved. There is none of the umph or even excitement that she has in the Dance the Chakras DVD (which I also have and would HIGHLY recommend).I have 11 Ana and Ravi DVD's. All of which I adore! This Cardio, Stretch, and Strengthen is so far below their typical quality that I am surprised that there are so many positive reviews for it. If you get a Ana Ravi DVD, skip this and go for their older workouts. You'll be glad you saved the cash.

A Magical Ride!!
|
This is another masterpiece from John Williams. All the audio tracks are simply magical and breathtaking. Listening to the album the first time reminded me of another of my all-time-favorite soundtracks, "Hook", which is also composed by John Williams. Both of them are about fantasy, and both of them are irresistable to me. I play back this "Harry Potter" soundtrack at least 5 times a day since the middle of November 2001!!There is also a complementary CD-ROM that comes together with the audio CD! Inside the CD-ROM, you can find many international trailers (German, French, Korea, Thailand, etc), posters, game demo, and much more!!That's not the end yet! Besides both the audio CD and CD-ROM discs, you also get a cool Harry Potter poster (featuring Daniel Radcliffe and the white owl)! (...) this is one of the best Christmas presents for Harry Potter fans!!

Tasty plus convenient to make at work
|
I wanted to have an instant coffee for work. I don't like the standard company coffee at work. I came across Medaglia D'Oro in a HEB store in Houston. It just looks more interesting than coffee. I was actually hoping it wouldn't be as strong as espresso but not as watered down as instant coffee. I am glad I bought it. It has the same consistency at espresso but not as strong in taste. I am probably using more water that what is suggested on the directions. I work 3rd shift, so I think it is fitting the bill of keeping me awake! True espresso drinkers may think it is kind of weak but it would do in a pinch. I will use this for flavoring drinks & desserts also.

A software dud
|
Britannica is the best encyclopedia in print. Why, oh why, can't they get the software right? Examples: The video clips are stock footage of no instructional purpose, some are simply of animals grazing (dumb!), the audio clips are few and far between, as are the video clips. This is multimedia circa 1985! Not 2002! The clipboard function explanation was confusing. The navigator was slow and only touched upon articles directly related to the topic. What happened to a macropedia?I was disappointed by this. Maybe they will get it right in a few years. As it is, it is a very unimpressive cd-rom and will put you to sleep.

Alternate Aloha Debacle
|
I'm amazed to see this concert rated so highly. Sure the sound quality is great but what else do you get for your money? You get Elvis mumbling,stumbling, forgetting lyrics. Elvis either half asleep or in some drug induced haze. Darn good thing this was only the rehearsal. That gave Elvis time to get himself togethet for the actual broadcast.As for the songs themselves only Burning Love and Steamroller Blues are(argueably) sung better here than during the actual satellite show.My advice? Buy Elvis-Aloha from Hawaii instead. You get All the songs on this disc and more!! and the sound on the remastered Extra Tracks version is fantastic. All the pluses with none of the minuses. Enjoy!!

A Huge Pleasant Surprise
|
I rarely write reviews on the books I read, but I feel compelled to write one about The Fifth Stage. Simply put I had no idea what to expect. At first I didn't think I liked the way it went from past to present and back and forth. I retract that.....I love the way this book was written. It's totally two stories side by side until they tie together!!!Yes it's a lesbian love story, but anything but typical. Something that I cannot exactly pinpoint hit me reading this book. This is the first book I have felt real emotion both during the reading and after it was done. This story has stayed with me. I even hate to admit it has stayed with me enough to read it again.I will not disclose any of the story line but I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to read a story that will touch almost every sense and emotion. I hope Margaret Helms continues to write because I will for sure read more of her work.

No longer the baking mix that I used to love!
|
When my son and I were diagnosed with Celiac's Disease, I was on the hunt for a bread mix that would make good bagels. I finally found it with Pamela's baking mix. Always enjoying the texture and taste up until January 2011. When I baked up some bagels with the new batch something changed in their mix...and I just couldn't quite figure it out. The color was lighter and the bagels would no longer rise as they used to. The smell was nauseating while it baked and left me with a bad aftertaste and sour stomach. The texture was not chewy and the bagels did not have that beautiful golden brown color to them anymore. I was so disappointed and upset that they changed their mix which was Amazing just the way it was! The company may receive their flour from another manufacture or they may have changed flour ratio. Whatever they have done, PLEASE change the flour back to the way it used to be! You have lost a dedicated customer! Such a Shame! =(

Fun and Durable with One Small Hitch
|
We bought this last Christmas for our then 18-month-old grandson. He loves it and plays with it a lot, even after 6 months. It is one of his favorite toys. He is usually rather hard on toys because he likes to keep his throwing arm in shape, if you know what I mean. ;) This toy is no worse for the wear and has held up amazingly well. It is not a battery hog either. My one and only complaint is the same one that a previous reviewer mentioned. The cover for the CD player is very difficult to open. In fact, my grandson cannot open it. We must open it for him. And then once you open it, the cover tends to come completely off. If you could just leave the cover off it would be less of a nuisance, but the CDs won't play without the cover on. If not for this one flaw, I would definitely have rated it 5 stars. But even with that flaw, I would recommend this toy.

A good floppy bag with plenty of room.
|
This is a great bag with plenty of room for all my gear and then some. I'm still new to photography but started to outgrow my original bag which was only able to hold my dslr and two lenses. I figured I needed a bag that I could grow into and finally decided on this bag. Another great thing about Domke is that there is an optional strap that could be bought to carry the bag as a backpack.Although I am very happy with this purchase, there are a couple of things I would change to make it even better. The bag is soft (floppy). It would be nice if it had some sort of under wiring to help keep its shape... specifically the lid portion. The front and side pockets are velcro'd shut. I would have preferred buttons of some sort. Ripping open a pocket to grab something can be annoying especially in quiet situations. The front two pockets can be opened after only unclipping the lid to the main compartment. The inserts aren't as well padded as I would like.

Buy the Extra Warranty Coverage
|
I am an Apple fan, as I think their software is the best. But my experience with the hardware has been mixed. Two years ago I bought a 23" flat screen Apple monitor. It has been lightly used but when I came back from a trip recently it would not turn on. Dead as a doornail. Looking online caused me to realize I was not the Lone Ranger. Many people had similar issues with this or similar models. Not good for a $900 item. I had a Mac Mini and the DVD drive died after a little more than a year. The motherboard on my powerbook failed after 2 and a half years. Powerbook power adapters have been notorious for failure. So be warned and be careful. They are great when they work, anger inducing when they do not.

The Politics of Boredom
|
I have heard this album being compared to the Clash's "London Calling". Whoever would do such a thing should be spanked. I am so sick and bored of all mainstream music, mainstream tv, and just poeple in general. This album is the epitmy of many years of MTV trying to shove their "punk" bands down my throat. Enough is enough, ya' know? Too much of any thing is bad. It's time to get some talented musicians some face time. Maybe talent is a long gone fairy tale that will never happen again. Some people are content to think that this is alright, and that we should just accept it. Not me. Real punk was a result of people being bored with the music industry and trying to change it, but it obviously didn't work. It seems as if nothing can stop crappy poppy bands. And this band isn't helping anything.

Until the End
|
This was the first book I read by Nicholas Sparks. I thought it was very good. I read it on the reccomendation of a friend. This is something that I probably not have picked up without the reccomendation. At first, I thought the story moved very slow. I was ready to quit reading but my friend encouraged me to continue reading. I am so glad that I did. I thought it was awesome! Once you get passed the first few chapters, the action really picks up and you just want to keep reading. You feel like someone watching Landon and Jamie and feeling with them. I was drawn in to continue. The end was heartbreaking. It was a marvelous story. I love the way Sparks builds and shapes his characters. I have picked up many other books by him as a result of reading this book.

Why Not...
|
I ask, Why not? Why couldn't Mr. Walsch have a conversation with God? Remember back to the old days; back when there were real survivors, God talked to everyone. But what does it take to talk to God? If this book, and the forty that follow give the answer, you need to be on your last leg. You need to be so far down; so desperate, so low that the ants look like angels; then you can strike up a conversation with the Leader. But wait, the books really are informative. The whole series gets better and better as you get into them. Do you have real, down-to-earth questions? These books give you, if not the dogma you may crave, a way of figuring out the answers for yourself. The problem is they pretty much put the burden back on you: Who are you? Who do you want to be? These are questions a lot of us don't want to ask, let alone answer. But the best part is the books show how to look at life without looking through the filters of church dogma. Enjoy, (signed, GOD)

A great read
|
I picked this book up at the library - not having a clue who this author was or what she wrote like. I'd never even heard about her. Now I know why - it's her first book! And a great one at that. I have a five month old baby, and even with trying to take care of her and doing the housework, I managed to read it in two days!! Since I have a baby, I really loved her descriptions of the babies. She seemed to bring them to life. A lot of this book is very realistic and you feel like you're actually there with the characters. The only reason this doesn't have five stars is because I thought the ending slightly abrupt, though at least it doesn't follow the typical story type. Once again though, truely a great read! I want to recommend it to everyone!

Looks like I'm going to break the mould of giving five star reviews to this book.Part I is a brief overview of the history and motivation behind Linux. No bones there.Part II covers compiler and related tools. I learnt a few things from these chapters (I wasn't familiar with either autotools or gcov).Part III covers application development. The emphasis is mainly on IPC. There are some grim errors in the code. In particular, I winced when I saw the use of asserts that contained statements performing actions with (necessary!) side-effects. Compiled in optimized mode in most environments, this code will crash. For this section, Stevens/Rago APUE or Rochkind AUP serve much better.Part IV, shell scripts and tools is OK, as is part V, debug/test.I'm not sure why there's a CD included. It contains the source code (of little value, easily downloaded) and all of the diagrams used in the book. I can't imagine that they will ever come in handy.

Works Well - Set up hard but still good
|
I purchased this for my elderly aunt who had insisted on living alone a while back. She lived in another state. She wouldn't let me pay for a device that had a subscription service. Her daughter (my cousin) was able to set it up but it was a bit complicated. My aunt used it last night 12/19/09. She was rushed to the hospital. She had a heart attack. She was transferred to another hospital with better heart specialists. Unfortunately she passed away this morning but she didn't die alone. Help got to her quickly it was just her time to go. The lord called her home. I recommend it but you do need someone to set up that is good with gadgets. But once setup it's good for life.

Amazing...

I have always been an avid fan of SimCity games, and this new installment give simulation a whole new meaning. You breathe life into your city. The graphics and sound are considerably better than previous versions. I run a 1 GHZ Pentium III with 512 MB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX, and the game performs fine. SimCity 4 is also more realistic than ever. Buses pull up to the school at eight in the morning. Schools only cover a certain district. A riot may arise when you place that new nuclear power plant in town. Watch as your sims live their lives, going to work, play a round of golf in your new resort, or enjoy themselves at the fair. You can even import your characters from "The Sims" into this game, and watch the live in your city as they give you feedback! I must congratulate the Maxis team on a job well done.

Versatile pet amusement!
|
My bunny was only moderately interested in this ball. He gets unlimited hay so he doesn't want to chew on more dried straw I guess. But my rats...they LOVE this thing!! I put a string through it and hung it up in their cage as a hammock, and they will not stop snuggling in it. They prefer this over their soft fleece hammock for some reason. I think they like the texture. I have had 4 rats, and they all loved it. They don't even really eat it or anything, they just like to be inside of this thing. Plus, it is very spacious for smaller rats. They can roll around in it too. You should definitely give this a try if you have rats!I heard some rabbits go gaga over it, so my bunny is just weird, I guess =)

Not worth the price
|
I bought a complete set of Calphalon cookware. It was very expensive but I wanted something that would last. The non-stick coating on all but two of the pans deteriorated after only a couple of months use. I took very good care of the cookware. I returned four of the pans (very expensive). They would only replace one of the pans. They said that I misused the cookware...not true. I must say that the replacement pan has worked very well. I would never buy Calphalon cookware again. I have pans purchased at Walmart that have lasted longer than the Calaphon. If I could use a no star rating I would.

Ugly language used for a toddler's/children's book
|
My wife and I bought a bunch of books in the I Can Read series. One of the books was "The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat". I started reading it to my 22 month old son tonight before bed and stopped as I quickly realized the extremely ugly language. How did this book get past the editor/publisher HarperCollins and also the author didn't realize the audience? This book should be pulled from the shelf. See below for some examples:"The rat hates the cat. The cat does not care. The cat, who is fat, .... The rat hates that."The witch has a pet rat called "the little brat""Then I will go and get my bat, said the rat. It will get you off the mat. No it won't, said the cat.""You think I am stupid, said the cat..."Again, it's a shame that we wasted an evening reading this hateful, negative book. This will be returned to the store with a complaint to the bookseller and also I'll write the publisher.Please vote with your dollar and do not support this.Thanks,Brian

Battle Royal High School sucks!
|
This movie was a total un-waste of my time. I said this because it was so terrible, it was acually worth the time to watch! I couldn't believe the horror I endured while watching this drivel people call Anime. I am an Aniime fanatic, but this sucked! It was a plotless wonder with senseless violence and bad dubbing. The animation was so bad, I laughed everytime I saw this one guy's eyes move. The scene where the "main character" gives everybody people's lunches was just stupid. I didn't understand why everybody began hysterically laughing when he handed out lunches. YOU CAN HAVE MY LUNCH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This movie blows, trust me. My life has a terribly large scar because of thiis thing they call a movie.

It works okay, but I may return it again.
|
Bought this for my wife for x-mas. It didn't play the dvd-r burned discs from a quality dvd recorder. I returned it for another one hoping that I had just got a bad one. Again, no luck it doesn't play dvd-r discs from my recorder. I use a Lite-On brand burner and burn discs of TV shows for trips. I may return it again.I like all the features and I researched several products. The games are low quality, but no biggy. The second screen was slightly lower clarity. It plays pics, songs, mpegs from a usb drive, cool. Buyer beware, it doesn't seem like any of these DVD players are 100% satisfaction. Get the extended warranty. Good luck. I hope you get a good one. I didn't, but I may keep trying.

2 1/2 stars

I have to admit, I have never been a big Em fan because I find his lyrics to be (predominantly haha) very childish and lacking of any skill or substance. Against my better judgement I went out and purchased this CD. Right off the bat, I see that he has placed alot more retrospective thought into this album and you really feel like you got a little something out of it. I must say though, this does not an album make! You will tend to just get annoyed by most of the songs on the CD. I think that his G-Unit counterparts released far better albums, even for all 50s overexposure, the entire G-Unit have released alot tighter solos. There are like 2, possibly three tight songs on the CD (Ass Like That has an infecious beat). I guess you have to be like a hardcore Em fan to appreciate it. I am not. Like the old saying goes, to each is own. (just not for me in the future)--LusH

Ellie Goulding was singing just for me
|
It felt as if she was singing directly to my ear specificaly just for me. These headphones are great. I listened to a few songs and they dont disappoint. I heard headphones as such need a break in period so they are gonna sound even better which is just fantastic. Things that could optimize your experience would be to make sure the songs you have in file form run above 320kbps. Because even 2,000 dollar headphones will sound like crap if your songs run at 24kbps. Still these headphones sound great and the songs ive listened to are running at 128kbps which surprised me. Remember that was just a suggestion to better the sound of your song on behalf of your music player not the headphones. These headphones for the price and sound quality are definitely a steal and a must have. Dont let this opportunity pass you by. I may never buy a diferrent pair of headphones again

I don't even know what to say

First of all, buy this cd. Now.No like, Immediately.This was the best 6 dollars i have ever spent in my entire life. This is one of my top 2 favorite albums of all time. It is hands down hopesfalls best work, and the recording quality is awesome.One more thing.April Left With Silence is the best song I have ever heard in my entire life. Period."The sound of a heart breaking" part is the heaviest you will ever hear a band play in your life for 10 seconds. Every time that part comes i have to rewind it. Its just too good.They are so melodic. Their melodies are so soothing and even the screaming becomes melodic after you break in this cd.Hey, just because this EP only has 4 songs, dont let that scare you. Beleive me, nobody loves Satellite Years more than me, and i love this cd 10 times more than satellite years even though it has half the songs. Yes, its that good.

Piece of dung!!
|
This was horrible. I wish I could give it zero stars. One is too much... It worked for a few days on and off. This brand continously dropped signal from my dsl modem. It just randomly came on and off. After spending hours on the phone to Indian tech support, they suggested I install the latest firmware, at which point the router never worked again!! Of course, since it had ben working on and off, I threw the box away (my mistake) so was unable to send it back. Complete waste...I will NEVER buy netgear again. Its worse than linksys IMO. Don't buy their stuff. Its apparently a common problem...

Turns out this is a $2.50-per-use disposable thermometer.
|
When I bought this thermometer I really wasn't interested in the "programmable" features. It's not that complicated. Stick probe in meat. Watch for target temperature to be reached. Remove meat from oven. And this unit accomplished that just fine, chirping when the desired temperature is reached.The reason I bought this was to monitor temperatures without opening the oven door, pure and simple. And that's what it does -- but only for about 12 roastings, in my case, before it stopped giving an accurate reading. And not just slightly off, but wildly wrong. Busted. I've trashed it and gone back to my old fashioned, reliable, not programmable, open the oven door and peek inside, meat thermometer. Oh well.

Is she tired of romance?
|
One of the things I really look forward to is the arrival of a new KMM novel. But, I am afraid I have to agree with some of the reviewers that this one is a stinker. KMM writes some of the best heroes in the business and Jericho was one but he had no romance!! Nothing for him to do!!! Mac was sort of iffy for me. She was okay but I really wish this had been a straight romance. The only romance in it was Mac and the lusty fairy. I didn't like that. You have someone like Jericho Barrons around and nothing for him?I didn't like this book--I borrowed it from the library. This is the first KMM book that I didn't buy and put on my keeper shelf. Until she goes back to her basics, I will be visiting the library when she has something new out. And I won't hurry.BTW, the cover was a stinker,too.

This is something else
|
Definately differant from the first cd. Entirely new band. Awesome music. Hreat guitar work. This is some fine metal. Dark sounding riffs that are simple at times and complicated at others. Deep passionate lyrics as well. Awesome use of dynamics. New singer is wierd. Vocals sound like he's tearing apart his vocal chords. Good for the music they play but in another band it might not be so good. Not to shabby otherwise

insulting. ..... soap opera silly
|
I guess this movie is supposed to be romantic and cute. Kate Winslet was cute with the glasses? WWII code breaking is a fascinating subject and could have been interesting. Like the movie Pearl Harbor was turned into a soup opera and was awful so was this film. Of course the Polish code breaker becomes a traitor and gives the codes or code machine to the Germans because he is angry the Soviets slaughtered the Poles at Katyn. So the Polish guy helps the Germans? For one thing the due credit was not given in this film to the Polish cryptanalysis on which subsequent British codebreaking was dependent for its successes. The film was financed by Mick Jagger and Lorne Michaels of SNL. Why? Thanks Mick. The Poles laid the foundations for British success in cracking German codes and they get portrayed as traitors in silly soap opera movies like this. Yes it is fiction but unfortunately probly most of the world will learn about WWII code-breaking from this film.

"Of course the Polish code breaker becomes a traitor and gives the codes or code machine to the Germans because he is angry the Soviets slaughtered the Poles at Katyn.",
"So the Polish guy helps the Germans?",
"For one thing the due credit was not given in this film to the Polish cryptanalysis on which subsequent British codebreaking was dependent for its successes.",
"The film was financed by Mick Jagger and Lorne Michaels of SNL.",
"Why?",
"Thanks Mick.",
"The Poles laid the foundations for British success in cracking German codes and they get portrayed as traitors in silly soap opera movies like this.",
"Yes it is fiction but unfortunately probly most of the world will learn about WWII code-breaking from this film."

Fragile screen
|
I was so excited to get my Kindle. I loved every part of it. After less than 1 month I reached for it in my purse to show a friend and found the screen damaged. The Kindle was in it's case and the case shows no sign of damage. I have no idea what happened to it. The tech support guy said that he's heard that someone's cat sat on their Kindle and ruined the screen. There is no repair for it, only a replacment for $180.00. I told him that I had just paid $350 to use it for less than a month, why would I want to spend another $180 to get another one that will be damaged. He said that maybe if I spent the $180 on a replacement I would be more careful next time. Wow! Now I'm just stuck with a $350 useless reminder that I wasted my money. I am VERY UNHAPPY.

Best of Hogan, Not Nitro
|
I will keep this straight forward and to the point. The only positive aspect of this video is it does have old footage of WCW Nitro. You can not really see this stuff anymore unless you recorded it yourself back in the day. However, this whole video is about Hogan. Hulkster or Hollywood, every match has Hogan, so really this is not the best of Nitro, since Hogan slowed matches down anyway. Hogan is the man, but not right in this Nitro collection. The tape covers Hogan from 94 to early 99. If you like the Hulk then get this, but again, not even close to being a best of Nitro video. None of the matches shown were very well done, even if it was a championship match. I wish it was better, but it is not a good example of the great matches from Nitro. **

not the dead's best work...not even close.
|
yes, '72 was a great year for the dead. there is no way that anyone can deny that. however, europe '72 does a very poor job of capturing that sprit, that magic that was the grateful dead's 1972 tour. the singing? eh. the guitar riffs? monotonous. overall? pretty boring.if you want good dead, and you want it from '72, and you want it from europe, do not buy this album. buy hundred year hall instead. not only is it twenty-five minutes longer, it is also much, much better. like the second disc, for example, which contains truckin'>cryptical envelopment>comes a time>sugar magnolia and is in itself over 68 minutes in length. trust me...it's better.

HP5510 Scan button
|
I've had my HP5510 for 4 weeks. So far everything works to my expectations except--when I press the scan button an error comes up on the LED: Unable to scan documents from Printer to PC. No Scan Options. You need to install or run HP software forfeature. Press OK to continue." My system is 4 weeks old. I had a local reputable company put my system together. We uninstalled and installed HP software several times. Went to HP website-could not find a patch. Couldn't repair error. My last resort is to call HP which I haven't yet.

Gas-a-Just Review
|
Our Jeep Liberty recently went over 100,000 miles, and with us using it to tow on occasion, I decided that the rear shocks needed to get changed out. Man was I right! The OEM shocks were basically doing nothing at this point. I was able to compress the shock when off the vehicle to a completely compressed position with no effort whatsoever. It was almost scary. The KYB's are not only tighter, but they also look nice on our Jeep since it's white also. I was able to get the old shocks off and these new ones on in about an hour using my floor jack and jack stands. Easy installation. It's a direct replacement. The jeep hasn't rode this nice since we bought it 5 years ago. I definitely recommend this product.

Used for One Month
|
If you are reading this review you are wondering whether to purchase this product. I did the same before I bought this product. My wife had learned of Clear Blue from a friend who had used it and was successfully pregnant. We have been trying for nine months and I was wondering whether it would ever happen. We had heard that the best time to become pregnant was ten days after the end of her menstrual cycle. Well, when using this product she was at a higher level after day 18 or 13 days after the end of her cycle. What we learned is that we were way off the mark. My wife never reached her peak level and this frustrated her, however since her last cycle she has not had any menstrual pre-symptoms that are common to her. This is a first because she is usually really regular. I'm crossing my fingers on being pregnant, if so we got it on the first month of trying. If not, we at least know when she is at her higher level of possibly being pregnant. The product was worth it just for that.

follows a formula
|
Book six isn't bad but I'm getting tired of J.K's formula in the Harry Potter series. The formula follows: Harry thinks something is wrong, no one believes him. Harry tells his friends his suspitions, no one believes him. Harry has to go on a quest to get something since he turns out to be right. Along the way someone dies or gets incapacitated. Harry is vindicated but at a small cost of his soul.It is funny. Everybody went crazy when book five came out since someone was going to die. But book 4 and six also kill off a major character and it is like no one cares. . .Also book six is frustrating since it ends like a Dungeons and Dragons adventure. Now to defeat the evil wizard Harry needs to collect 6 items of blah , blah, blah . . .I was hoping the series would conclude in books 7 but it looks like J.K. doesn't want her money train to run out. . .It is a good read but the series is starting to read like a bad soap opera. . .

The 'K' Chronicles: What a Long Strange Strip it's Been
|
OK......Want to read a strip that is written/illustrated by a guy who's I.Q. is at least 25 points higher than yours? And totally love the experience? This is it. This man can write and he can draw. His strips are wry, droll, clever, unpredictable, artful, sexual, slapstick, charming, self-disclosive, humble, FUNNY!!!!! The drawings alone can make you laugh....the text will make you laugh out loud...or wince! I dare you to read this guy and not want to get to know him.....Mr. Knight comes across so honest, it is unsettling. His alter ego in the strip is wildly egotistical and never fails to get flattened like a 'cartoon character' when reality comes steam rolling over him.......this character is a riot and this young man is just awesome. Too original for the 'mainstream', he deserves every success. So support a brilliant newcomer.......Run ahead of the pack and buy this book. It's a riot!

Not bad, not great
|
For the most part, this book is well-written and presents the researched facts in an orderly fashion. However, it goes on FOREVER! I love Ann Rule's writings, but does she always have to use titles and lines from once popular songs for her book titles? You Belong To Me, Every Breath You Take, etc., etc.Blackthorne is a wicked man, if man he be. As for Sheila, I felt sorry for her, but didn't understand why she didn't get out sooner. While she definitely was no angel, either, she didn't deserve to be abused. I was happy that she found a good man the second go-round. However, she allowed him to abuse her children. When their father abused them, she made it a court case. When their step-father did it, she joined in. My Dad was a Marine D.I. and he wasn't an abusive parent. So,in my opinion, Jamie Bellush has no excuse for abusing children, his or not. Why the girls let him adopt them is beyond me.

Not ready for Wireless
|
Installation was very difficult. Printed documents poor. On-line documents not much better. I learned the most from someone's review. A call to the vendor was very helpful. After I finally (6 hours) got it set up, I found that music buffered in mid-song. (Not quite what I was expecting.) My router was less than 20 feet way from the unit on the other side of two sheet rock walls. So I shouldn't have this kind of problem. I returned the unit to Amazon. BTW, Amazon was great - very prompt with the refund.

Do Not Buy This Movie ! What a waste!! Three reasons to avoid this film: 1. It was directed by a clueless woman. 2. It only grossed 12 mil at the boxoffice and 3. The never fails, dead give-away for lame movies: The critics liked it. They could have been honest by putting those perennial losers Julia Roberts and Jennifer Anniston in camo bdu's, surrounding them with the usual cadre of beta-males and having a good " Hope and Change" cry-in under a humvee. If you're looking for a good military/war action movie...this ain't it. This chopped-up, silly and altogether useless story is an affront to every member of our heroic military. What else can you expect from hollywood. Three strikes...they're out.

This is what you call American Idol. I never liked her in the first place! Her voice is just really hi-pitched and very squeky!!!!!!! This is definatly the worst album ever! What is with her pose on the front of the CD? It looks like she is taking a HUGE breath. I can't believe that this is what American Idol is like. This is very disappionting because this no-talent at all singer made millions, and other singers who aren't discovered yet but could actually be biger than Britney or J Lo, have no chance whatsoever. I can't believe this. It's a DISGRACE!!!!!!!

Complete waste of $350. Motor failed after 2000 nails. Don't buy a dewalt cordless nailer. Many problems still exist with Dewalts design as of July 2008. My 15 ga nailer has problems as well -- doesn't advance the nails. I have to manually advance the nails. Plenty of jambs with the 15 and 16. Look at the Dewalt website. It's impossible to contact the company. Your left high and dry after the tools fail. Call the local repair dealer and they tell you they can fix the tool for the price of a new one. Get a "cumbersome" pneumatic nailer - at least they work.

A POPULARLY-WRITTEN, BUT POORLY-DOCUMENTED ATTACK ON EVOLUTION
|
Kelly L. Segraves is a director and co-founder of the San Diego-based Creation-Science Research Center, and the author/editor of many books, such asJesus Christ Creator,And GOD Created (Volume 1 1), andAnd God Created (Volume 2).Here are some quotations from this 1977 book:"Evidence in many other place of the world indicates that man and dinosaur lived together... Wall paintings in the caves of Rhodesia are rather interesting. These paintings depict the Brontosaurus." (Pg. 38)"Let us not forget the fact that fossils are not being formed today. Fossils are formed only by rapid burial from a great cataclysmic event such as a flood. Certainly this fact is consistent with the Biblical record. We should expect the fossil record and the Biblical record to agree." (Pg. 69)"Quite possibly in the next few years the ark of Noah will be rediscovered. Reportedly it has been seen by almost 200 people since 1856." (Pg. 77)

I don't get it
|
Minimalist house might be easy for a d.j. to mix, but it's not listening music. So why release a CD? I bought this and sold it. I guess I like innovative experimental techno like Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, and some U.R.. Carl Craig gets so much props I thought this CD was a sure thing. The title suggests something futuristic and interesting not retro minimalist house. It's a nice mix, the beats kick... but each track is like a drum machine(?) and like 1 other thing. the mix is not deep what so ever. no ambience. I thought craig did jazzy beats. He's in Detroit where they got a kickin jazz scene. he should work with it.THis CD ain't even as good as french house. He ain't from chicago so he don't got the proper disco or house vibe that tight. whatev. I don't get all the props.

Research before buying
|
My portable record player arrived in perfect condition. However, I was sadly disappointed in this product. Thinking of a children's record player my sister and I used in the 1960's, I expected the same features in this record player. To my surprise, the needle arm movement is not automatic on this item. It must be manually moved by myself to the beginning of the record to start playing it. Also, there is no record spindle to stack records on to be played sequentially. You can only place one record on at a time. On top of this and more importantly the sound quality is poor. I expected better quality all around with the electronic advances made in the past 40 years. Apparently I should have done more research in exactly what was included with this model. I should also have checked into ratings such as this.

What can you say about the EVIL DEAD?
|
Wow. This film can beat any other movie to a bloody pulp (except maybe DAWN OF THE DEAD). Sam Raimi's genius is definitly seen in this horror masterpiece! I belive the other two movies, even though they are very good, are highly over rated. They make the original look inferior. This is due in part to NEW LINE CINEMA not giving Sam the rights to the first film to do a recap for the sequel. That made him have to make up a new version, which meant no Cheryl, Scotty, or Shelly. So the Book of the Dead never got burned, Linda never got stabbed and all this other stuff. Army went along with this but it also had a flaw. At the end of ED2, Ash is hailed as a hero, but at the beginning of Army he's a slave! Oh well, I'm off topic.

Hesitant to buy, but glad I did.
|
After reading these reviews I thought I will get it and save the receipt. We hooked it up and it is great! Good picture, good sound and the kids love it. I have a 5 and 8 year old and it was a birthday gift for the 5 year old. Can't wait to buy more music for it. The picture quality is much bette then I thought it would be. And we have a older TV. It only has the input jacks for the yellow and white. I love it. Not any problems. Microphone works even when the music is not playing so you can play a CD you have and they can sing to it. My 5 year old is singing to High School High as I type this!

Great Cooker
|
I bought my Nuwave cooker a month ago. Everything I have cooked with it has turned out great with the exception of pork chops. They tend to be dry anyway. I should have brined them first. I have cooked winter squash (two kinds). A ring smoked sausage turns out just like I had bar-b-qued it in just a few minutes. Last night I cooked a 2 lb. Mexican meatloaf and it was done to perfection in an hour on a piece of foil. I have cooked all kinds of chicken and it is nice and juicy and looks very nice. Same with lamb chops. Lamb shanks should do well also. I would certainly recommend this machine. Easy clean-up also.

just as bad as fear of the dark
|
What a letdown this album is! I remember when this album came out, I was in high school, and I bought this at the mall. Got out to my car, put the tape in, and listened to Tailgunner. It was ok, but only ok. I could sense that the whole album was going to be weak, and I was right. I was so depressed. I was thinking that it was Fear of the Dark when I wrote a review for that one but it was this one. What a downer. Tailgunner and maybe the second song are mediocre. The rest are terrible. Tailgunner is a second-rate Aces High recap with only about 20% of the adrenaline. Don't buy this album if you like Maiden. I can't believe that people gave this 4 and 5 stars. They are confused.

Setting the Standard
|
I am a pro contractor who builds fine homes in the Lake Tahoe area.Senco sets the standard by which all other nailers are rated. I have the new FP41XP and I love it. My old SFN40 is still going strong after about 10 years of heavy use. I had a Bostich (Stanley ) finish nailer before but I found it underpowered compared to the Senco. The nails used for the Bostich are inferior too. The so called galvinized 16Ga Bostich nails rusted easy. Senco nails are the best quality. The galvinized nails look like stainless and will not rust. The tip is easy to un jam if you hit something hard and bend a nail. The nailer has enough power to easily set a nail into 5/4 white oak. The gutless Bostich could not set a nail into 5/4 white oak.

This product had no effect what-so-ever.
|
I've been using Frontline Plus, purchased from my vet for years. The packaging I buy from the vet looks identical to the package I received in this order. When I opened the vial to apply the product, I noticed an unusual odor, like a skunk smell. I applied the product according to the directions the way I always have. At the time of application, I noticed 1 or 2 fleas on my cats. After the first application, there were no results. In fact the fleas were multiplying. I vacuumed and cleaned all rugs and furniture in the house (didn't notice any fleas anywhere accept on the cats). I applied the product again a few weeks later. Again- no results. The cats are now infested. I am on my way to purchase the REAL product. Do not waste your money on this fake frontline.

No wonder this album was not released in America!!!
|
I was curious to find out why this album was not realized in America after WhiteSnake had such a smash with their previous album. Now I know! This album is flat out terrible. Being a huge David Coverdale fan, it pains me to say that, but it's true. It has none of the bluesy sound from the early Whitesnake albums or the pizazz of their 1987 album. Half hearted perfomances at best. Anyone who gave this album a good review must love David Coverdale so much that they can't be objective any more. Sorry David, it's terrible, and you know it! THAT's why it wasn't released in America! The record company must have known after one listen that it would not go over well here. In comparison, David's latest album, Into the Light, is far better.

Very disappointing sequel...
|
I finally was able to rent a copy of this movie and see it, and I did not like it! There, I said it! This movie was a big disappointment for a good number of reasons. One reason is that the blood and guts looked ---------FAKE! I hate to put it that way but it's true. The violence looked very fake. If you put Jason Voorhees in a boring edition of Star Trek then you've got the idea of what this movie looked like. In the last sequel, Jason Goes To Hell - The Final Friday, Jason went to hell (duh!) But in the beginning of this movie, his body has somehow been discovered and brought to a lab or something. They think he's dead but guess what? HE ISN'T! WOW! The plot was O.K. and a lot different from the other Friday the 13th films, and the action is poor, the gory killing scenes are rather cheap, and the characters are just as terrible. Don't buy this if you're a true fan to the Friday the 13th movies. It's a letdown. I love Jason Voorhees...

Just what I needed for NOAA radio
|
I bought a weather radio on sale. It is solar or hand-cranked. But directions indicated that one could get an AC power source to charge the battery. Ten cranks don't last very long. Volts, mA and the other info had me going in circles trying to decipher what I needed for AC charging. So I contacted the seller who pointed me to this converter.I use the adaptor closes to the cord. It works fine. I love my NOAA radio. And now I know that it's charged without having to break an arm turning the crank. The crank, obviously, is nice to have as back-up. As is the solar, but it must be direct solar, not through a window. Don't know why the radio didn't come with this gizmo.PS. NOAA radios are great. Mine gives general present conditions, general predictions, as well as very specific projections for my area. Wonderful to have living in a rural area.

Young girl gains victory over crippling humiliations
|
I read this book before the prequel, and it is not confusing without the back-story. (And after discovering the first book, From Anna, I was pretty disappointed that it didn't measure up to this one, although it's still worth reading.) This book is wonderful for any girl who has ever felt awkward. Almost blind without your glasses? Bushy hair? Seemingly perfect siblings? Targeted by racial intolerance? Anna's your girl! She is kind and I found her so likable throughout. I also love reading about people who lived during world war II. I hate to say it, but this book is pretty educational.I just realized I write terrible reviews. Just read the book! It's one of my favorites, although I have a ton.

A good way to get some sleep
|
Enter the Ninja is simply a BAD film! I'm a big fan of the genre, but I must admit, this is not one of the better ones. The plot sucks, the poor acting, and the complete drag for about an hour of nonsense! However, the only reason to view this film is the 20-30 minutes of Ninja action. I enjoy the action, and it did show great detail of the Ninja. This is the film that started the genre, and it didn't start too well. Positive note, most of the Ninja info. was the most detailed in most of the Ninja films. If you are ever in the need for some good sleep, watch 5 minutes of this and you will go to sleep for days. They should've just used the 10-20 minutes of action and made that the film! 1 out of 5 star. 1 star because of it's info on the Ninja ONLY!

Pure insanity
|
I don't think this is the best Beck album to buy, that would be "Odelay", but this does have what is perhaps his best and most demented song to date. That of course is the title track. How does he even come up with these lyrics? They're almost surreal in their randomness. This song makes "I Am the Walrus" sound normal by comparison. Beck's really not a great singer, but the way he delivers these lyrics is just flawless. I really can't describe what I'm talking about here. Like, I'm a much better singer, but I could never do it as perfectly as he does. If that doesn't make sense, oh well. It's befitting of a Beck review anyway. :-PBy the way, did you ever notice that that Butthole Surfers song "Pepper" sounds exactly like "Loser". I for one think that's no coincidence.Anyway, this is a must-buy for those like weird, psychotic music.

Lousy copy cat
|
A book like this should tell tales and name names.It does, in some way. But it name more victims' names than the predators' names. And I found that disturbing. There are too many chapters that are copied from Michael Gross's "Beautiful women and ugly business". Mr. Gross's book is a good read. "Shut up and smile" is not. It is a waste of time, many references other than the copy from Gross's book are public informations.It is said that you can't judge a book by its appearance. But for this book, you can. Most pictures of the cover as well as inside the book are not of right proportion. And if an author and publisher are serious about a book, they will take good care of the looks. It may not be glamorous book cover but you can at least get the picture right! Also, the author is supposed to be under-cover. Why bother showing his pictures in the books? ( twice)This is not a book worth your time. Read "Beautiful women and ugly business". "Shut up and smile" should have shut up.

Love the smell, but it doesn't last for crap!
|
Unlike another reviewer, I actually love the smell of this deodorant. However, the effectiveness is just plain awful. Under normal usage, I'm lucky if I go half the day before it's like I'm wearing nothing at all. I can't even go an entire work day without it wearing off. That's terrible. I've used Axe or Right Guard for the past 12 years or so, and they provide 24 hour protection, so I haven't smelled my armpits since I was in my teens! I honestly think this stuff might have ingredients in it that CAUSE your armpits to smell! I never, ever stink or smell, but after wearing this stuff, I smell like pure B.O. at the end of every single work day. It's incredible. This stuff is garbage! Back to Axe I go!

Better than Medela
|
I have to agree with some other online reviews regarding sticking. They do stick a bit after some leakage. Let's face it, in the beginning, disposables are the only thing that make sense. I used disposables for the first 2 months and then switched to the washables. I tried Medela pads and they didn't absorb ANYTHING! The Avent pads absorb well and I didn't have leakage problems that other reviewers have had. My pads would get soaked and I wouldn't have wet spots on my shirt. They do move around within my bra, though. I have had times that the pad wasn't properly posiitoned and I had a let down and got wet. Let's face it, it's the "hazard" of the job! :)

Trust the Train!
|
What is your favorite Hercule Poirot mystery? While the classics like "Murder on the Orient Express" or "Death on the Nile" or the "ABC Murders" rate high among possible choices, The Mystery of hte Blue Train is definitely my pick! The story begins on a train bound for the French Riviera. A young heiress on the train is killed and her jewels, priceless rubies, are stolen. Now, Hercule Poirot, who was on the train, must put his "little grey cells" to the task to solve the murder. One of things I love best about this book, besides being such a classic Christie puzzle, is one of the last lines in the novel. A young girl named Lenox despairs in the face of love and loss. But the wise Poirot advises, "You are young, younger than you yourself know. Trust the train, Mademoiselle, for it is le bon Dieu who drives it." "Trust the train," murmurs Poirot, "And trust Hercule Poirot. He knows."

Weak Interpretation
|
This book attempts to combine fact with fiction to explain the story of the Pied Piper. It epically fails. It is easily seen that the book is geared towards younger readers by how it explains vocabulary every few pages. The story plays out too quickly and seems unrealistic, even for fantasy. There is not nearly as much background information as was needed. I only bought this book to learn more about the legend of the Pied Piper and how the authors would view him. His and the main character Calcephony's background stories are too weak to be part of a good story. They were both static characters, even after the climax. The Pied Piper was seen as mean and selfish, with no real depth other than being old and of Faerie. I do not recommend this story. However, if you do not mind a weak plot with subtle but annoying foreshadowing, go ahead and read it.

"This book attempts to combine fact with fiction to explain the story of the Pied Piper.",
"It epically fails.",
"It is easily seen that the book is geared towards younger readers by how it explains vocabulary every few pages.",
"The story plays out too quickly and seems unrealistic, even for fantasy.",
"There is not nearly as much background information as was needed.",
"I only bought this book to learn more about the legend of the Pied Piper and how the authors would view him.",
"His and the main character Calcephony's background stories are too weak to be part of a good story.",
"They were both static characters, even after the climax.",
"The Pied Piper was seen as mean and selfish, with no real depth other than being old and of Faerie.",
"I do not recommend this story.",

Nice toy but frustrating
|
We bought this for our 3 year old. We got it home wihtout ever seeing batteries needed. After looking for several minutes I see it on the bottom of the box in very small print. That was the first frustration. Then I see it has an AC adapter plug in but does not come with one. I find out you have to buy it seperately. Once we get it working I discovered that the paw print where the mouse sits does not allow enough room for my 3 year old to properly move the mouse. so we took that off and put the keyboard on the table. It has fun games, its a good idea. We just got off to a bad start. I guess I'm old fashion. I expect the batteries needed to be easily seen and I expect the adapter to come with it. overall my 3 year old does like it

A tragic story about mental illness
|
Wow...this is a powerful movie. There's nothing comical at all throughout the two hour running time - in fact, I laughed only once. It's touching, and sad, and engrossing. And very, very good.The acting is superb. Sandler continues to amaze me with the range of his acting. Don Cheadle is brilliant as usual. Liv Tyler is very believable as a psychotherapist, and Donald Sutherland is just pure greatness. Even though his role is small, you just can't take your eyes off him.I have a friend who is mentally ill, and this movie hit very close to home for me. It's not exactly the kind of movie you'd have a few beers and hang out with a bunch of friends to watch. It's the kind of movie that makes you think; a movie that touches you, that gets in your head and stays there.It's well worth the viewing. Even though it's sad, it's very real. The acting is mesmerizing...and, well, it's just a very good, powerful film. Highly recommended.

I agree with Peter, good film for the "kiddies". I watched this film when it came out and loved it. I was only 9 at the time. Almost 20 years pass without seeing it and suddenly I remember parts of the movie...and do an extensive 2-3 week search for the title. As soon as I found the title, I found a copy for sale, ordered it, and recieved it today. And painfully sat thru the 79 minutes (seemed like 179 minutes). It's just boring for lack of a better word. My favorite "stupid lines": "I wonder why Catskill's battery had so much power left?" "Oh, he was using less powerfull jokes." C'Mon! Will probably be another 20 years before I watch it again. Hope nobody makes the same mistake I did. (Oh, the second star I had to give because at least as a child i liked it :-)

*Sigh*

I remember before I became a parent and those that were already would tell me I had no idea how it would change my life and I thought to myself, "oh yeah, right. I've got a good imagination." But they were oh so right. I had no clue! Kind of like the author to this book. American is family-friendly? News to the rest of us! Maybe there are some inequities, and some frustrating imbalances where the author did her research, or where some of these other reviewers live, but everywhere I've looked being a parent costs a great deal of power and possibility. Parenting is about the larger spiritual picture of humanity. If children are important, it's because what this world is like ten, fifty, and a hundred years from now is more important than any one life today. With such ignorance, luxury, and malevolence this author writes!

The Best Game Movie
|
Let's just say it wasn't the best movie but I liked it. The creatures were what made the movie for me! They were so weird and creepy that it made Resident Evil and DOOM look like rag dolls! I've never played Silent Hill and I heard if you have the movie will suck, but the movie makes me want to buy the original! Anyway people are complaining that the FX look fake. Well I did some research and found out that most of the creatures were people in costume! HA! And besides stop complaining about how real it's suppose to look! You can't make everything look too real! Do we play video games to complain about the graphics? No! We do it to have fun, that's what a movie is for.
