Loved it then, still do now.
Okay, I admit that I had never heard of Talking Heads before the single "Once in a Lifetime", but I loved this album. Quirky? Yes. Poppy? Yes. Humour a bit jouvenile? Definitely, but then so was I when I first it.This is not so much a review as a comment. I wonder whether there is a darker meaning to "And She Was", which most people have missed, and which juxtaposes with the cutesy melody. "And she was" - i.e. was, in the past tense. And now isn't. "No time to think about what she's done," "Rising up above the earth." "Joining the world of missing persons", etc. I've seen it interpreted as a love song, or as nonsense verse, but is it about a suicide?

Hope you don't need warranty repair
The best sounding receiver I've ever owned - that is until it began changing the settings I programmed in by itself. The repair depot (third party) doesn't have a clue. They've had it for a month. According to them there is no problem. I reset and reprogrammed the receiver several times but it always changed the settings. Beware the Yamaha Warranty! If you don't have to use it you're fortunate. This morning I told them to return the unit. I'll replace it with something else with a solid warranty; perhaps an exchange agreement. If these made in China, hot running receivers crap out it's unlikely that they can be repaired. Replacement is the ONLY option. A receiver lasts me about two years on the average.

Great!
Get this: im not into emo music that much, well not really at all but i liked this CD so much! I even like it better than the previous one, which is saying alot. Im not so much into say, Taking Back SUnday, but i LOVE these guys. THey just seem more genuine. I saw TBS in concert, though and they were okay. But i also saw Dashboard Confessional the previous year and you could not compare the two acts. I wouldnt say TBS is bad though, because the main singer seems like a really cool guy and i'd give them props for that. not so much into their music though. oh well. just an opinion.anyway, this albulm is the best! (this is coming from a person who likes ska and alt rock, so, its gotta be good for me to even listen to it!)you should definitely add this CD to you collection, regardless of what collection it is!--musiclover__

A Major Let Down
While of course extremely amusing and full of hilarious situations, Rennison's fourth installment in the Georgia Nicolson series is old, overdone, and just plain boring. Sure, some points are funny, but the whole scenarios are exactly the same as they were in the other three books. Georgia obsesses over Robbie. Georgia antagonizes over her lingering feelings for Dave the Laugh. Yawn, yawn, yawn. Jas seems like a total Girl Scout (no offense to Girl Scouts or anything), and the rest of Georgia's friends are just lame. Like, please. Who actually does a disco dance and finds it FUNNY?!?!I have been looking forward to this one forever, but it's lost the charm. Ah, well, perhaps I've outgrown Georgia Nicolson and Mia Thermopolis...so sad. Not.Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to reread Bridget Jones's Diary and find some REAL humor.

Best Book of the Decade!!
The name says it all!!! This is THE Definitive Guide to Collecting Black Dolls. With gorgeous, color photos from cover to cover, it surpasses all expectations! I've never seen a book so lovely AND informative. It contains detailed information and wonderful photos of all types of Black dolls. I read the entire book the same day I received it. I could not put it down. It is obviously a true labor of love. There is NO other book that comes remotely close. I give it two thumbs up and rate it a 20 on a scale of 1 to 5!!!This is a MUST HAVE for every library. This long overdue and much anticipated book is not just for the collector, it is for everybody. If you buy only one book this decade, make it The Definitive Guide to Collecting Black Dolls. You will LOVE it!! Already, I am looking forward to Volumes 2, 3, 4, etc. Thank you, Debbie Garrett, for writing THE foremost resource about Black dolls!! Your book is awesome!!!!!

Not worth it
This item was advertised wrong at 68" or 72" long. What I received was 58" long. Too short for any adult that I know of. It also only weighs 3# It is very thin. Definitely not worth the price. I will not purchase from this company again. I gave them a negative review because they didn't offer to pay return shipping for their mistake. They then sent me an e-mail saying that if I removed the negative review that they would send me a shipping label. That is not how the review system is suppose to work. Companies should not bribe you to give them a good review. I will pay the return postage and stick to my guns with the negative review.

A sure sign of trouble for Garth!
First he gives us the Chris Gaines garbage. Now he presents a CD of Christmas Classics that resembles an offering of a middle of the road act like Englebert Humperdinck. Nothing is wrong with Englbebert - but there is plenty wrong with this cd! First the cd cover looks like Garth wants to be on the cover of a romance novel. Second the music is unbalanced and full of Garth's ego. Where is the sentimental feeling that Christmas music is supposed to have. Garth should leave Christmas music to Elvis, Sinatra, Crosby, etc. This is really nothing more than an attempt to milk his fans out of more money. But like the rest of his catalog, it will sell briskly when first released and then will slow to a halt.Christmas albums are gimmicy by nature. This is just another gimmic by the King of Gimmic. His success and career is based soley on garbage scemes like this. Don't buy this album everybody. The feeling you want in Christmas music is not there!

I didn't like it
I was hoping for an education in principles, and this authors' style didn't appeal to me. Maybe it's just me.... I read self help books for fun. I quit the book after about 25% or so. Just seemed like, "look at how neat I am! I have done all these awesome things with my kids! I should write a book!" I was disappointed and wish I didn't buy it. I hoped to be enlightened with eye opening bits of wisdom to change my thinking just a bit, in order to raise more responsible children. I did not want a play by play description of this woman's charts and gimmicks. Been there, done that. Boring and wasted time.

Mine worked for maybe 3 days before
the same thing happened that happened to other reviewers. The interior connector to the fan came unglued and I had to unscrew it and tape it back. That worked for another few days--unfortunately tape was the only resource I had in that moment--and I intended to find electrical tape for the fix, but took so long to get around to it that I somehow misplaced the USB cord anyway. I have actually continued to use this without a motor for a year. It doesn't keep the laptop cool, but it keeps my legs significantly cooler. I spent about $35 on it over a year ago at Circuit City. It was an impulse buy. (Wish I had checked on Amazon.com like I normally do for electronics.) The good thing about this cooling pad is that it worked well when it worked. It kept the computer cool--didn't get hot at all. Unfortunately, it is poorly designed and breaks after very little use.

Improved Smart Mug
This is my second Smart Mug. It does a remarkable job keeping my coffee at the proper temperature. I use it every day at work. Sometimes, I'll be out of my truck for over an hour, and my coffee is exactly the same as when I left. Never scorched, etc.One of the biggest shortcomings of this mug is that it is topheavy. If your cupholder is larger than the bottom of the mug, it will want to tip over. This newer version is much lighter than my earlier one, so it doesn't tip as much. It is still worth mentioning, though.On the previous model, the lid was fairly loose fitting. They have made it a lot tighter.I love being able to set the temp to my liking. The thermostat holds very steady. The calibration is off a little bit... My first mug I kept set to about 130 degrees, and the new one to get the same temp of coffee, I have to keep it at 123 degrees.I would recommend this mug to anyone who gets pulled away during the day and always comes back to cold or scorched/overheated coffee.

Hatchet
I did my book report on Hatchet. This book is realistic fiction. The author of Hatchet is Gary Paulsen.Hatchet is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian that is on a plane flight and his plane goes down because of the pilot's heart attack. The plane goes down into a lake in the middle of Canada. He struggles to survive in the wilderness facing difficult changes. Brian's plane ends up getting destroyed and totaled. He fights for his life and needs help in some ways. The setting of the book is in a Canadian forest. Brian's parents are divorced so he has some problems with that. He will have to have a lot of courage to survive and get food. He follows animals, kills animals, and gets help with animals. Brian is a good survival buddy because he puts his problems on the side of him. I liked this book a lot and it is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. I think you should read it.

Not bad but.....
May be a bit spoilerish so you are warned....I was excited to read The Master of Seacliff and I did read it in a day but I found Duncan not attractive at all. I mean, Andrew described him as a hairy pirate. Ewww, no Thank you! All that hair was a complete turn off for me. I wanted to go through the book & cross out all the hair refrences. And at times, I don't think Andrew found him even likable. I was expecting from the cover, that the picture was of Duncan, I mean he is the master of Seacliff afterall but it turns out, it's apparently Andrew. Now on the other hand, the character Steven Charles, yum! Too bad he wasn't the leading man.The story itself was interesting. I did enjoy the plot. If you're looking for lots of sex, this isn't the book for you. There was sex but not until basically the end and even that lasted less than two pages.

Can hold 1 card & does not cover front of phone
I got this product for very cheap. I do not think it was worth the little I paid for the following reasons:1. It can really only hold 1 credit card (max). I wanted it to hold at least 2 (my ID and credit card) - it cannot.2. The card that it holds is difficult to get in and out without taking the entire case off. This means very limited functionality. There is nothing like looking ridiculous in front of your friends and coworkers as you peel off your phone cover every time you need to get your card out.3. The case covers the back of the phone well, but leaves the front very vulnerable to damage. Since the front is more likely to get damaged, this makes it's protective functionality very limited.This is a really cool idea, but it is poorly executed. If you can get this item for cheap, are aware of these 3 major problems, and you still really want it anyways - go for it. Otherwise, save your money and get a better phone cover.

READ IT!
Hi all, I just completed Julie Kenner's "The Cat's Fancy". It is a contemperary. Maggie "the cat" is in love with her owner Nickolas. So what is a kitty to do? Well, in Maggies case, talk to the old Tom. Mistic one eyed cat that he is, Maggie gets to be human for one week. But she has to get Nick to say the three magic words. This won't be difficult, or will it? I found this to be a laugh out loud story. Maggie is just so much cat.

Hackers - the marmite of computer films
That's right. Marmite. You'll either love Hackers or hate Hackers. I don't think I've ever seen a middle ground. The film is great though. You've got the two clearly defined sides. The good guys: Hyper-intelligent Lord Nikon, Elite Hacker Crash Override (Zero Cool), sex interest Acid Burn, utter nutter Cereal Killer, underated coffee-and-fags addicted Joey and the Phantom Phreak. The plot is not exactly stunning. The characters are a little 2-D. But there is something in the film that's almost <cheesy sound effects> magic. I found myself laughing at the jokes and wishing that I too could be inducted into this underground world of hacking and fun. It won't exactly rub shoulders with The Third Man or The Seventh Seal, but it's still worth adding to your DVD collection.

No-no
After using my Norelco Quadra for about 8 years and having absolutely no issues to with it I thought to myself, why don't I try a new razor. Since Quadra never gave me the close shave, I thought I experiment and see how technology has evolved over the years. I purchased the best: The Arcitec. What a disaster it was. It gave me terrible irritation, cut the hair very slowly and refused to pick up some. My face would not adjust to it. I struggled with it for a month and returned it to Norelco who hopefully will refund my money. Since I no longer had my old Quadra Action, I decided to give Norelco another try and purchased the 8151XL. I only shaved with it once, however, it was the best shave in my life. It picked up all uneasy hairs without struggle and I never expected the closeness it gave me. I love it and actually look forward to my next shave. I strongly recommend purchasing any shaver from XL line up.

Gagging Smell
A friend of mine recommended Shalimar perfume to me. She said it was so beautiful I had to try. So during my next trip to a perfume store, I asked for Shalimar. Sprayed it on paper, and then on my wrist. Both the paper and my wrist smelled so terrible to me, that I felt as if I was going to vomit. Couldn't wait to get home and wash it off my wrist. Very old-smelling, nasty, and pungent perfume. Like some kind of old rotten wood/pines. This is not to offend anyone. I understand that every perfume smells different on different people. I also understand that what one person likes, another may not like at all. We all have our own tastes in perfumes. Well, this is the case for me with this particular perfume. To me, it smells so ancient that it reminds me of old rotten/moldy woods! Yuck!

Ridiculous+Nonsense+Confusion= the RNC
This is the worst book out there! I always knew you ultra-conservatives were off your rockers but this just seems to confirm it!!! Until Sean Hannity can compete with the likes of Al Franken; Molly Ivins; and Paul Krugman, he shouldn't be writing such filth as this. Those on the right make a profession out of "running" with the first story they hear. There is NEVER a sense of logic or a sense of doing the necessary RESEARCH to confirm or deny what was put forth. Sean does a good job in disseminating his personal points of view, but there are no facts to back any of it up. This should heve been an editorial not a non-fiction book! Wake-up all you people on the right!! Take some advice. Until you can be credible on the paper and on the airwaves, knowledgable liberals and independents will not take you seriously at all! If Sean can start doing the necessary research to back up his facts, I just may buy his next book. But then again, why even bother???????

Horrible Quality - 2 of 3 stems died within 2 weeks
I was so excited to have this plant. It arrived very poorly packaged and the dirt had gone everywhere. I repotted and watered according to recommendations. Two of three sprouts died within 2-4 weeks after I owned it. One hadn't fully bloomed yet and it just died. The other just got all brown and died. I think they were poor when they arrived and just didn't survive after repotting as a result. Sad. They were all really thin and wobbly, nothing like the picture - where they have thick stalks and look big. Just scrawny. I saw some at Ikea and plan to get some there if they are still there.

Great book, even for adults!
The Thoenes stay remarkably true to Doyle's style of writing and give us a closer look at some of the great detective's assistants. Perhaps I can best describe it by giving you this bit: "From where he swam, the boy could not see the men on the deck, but he could hear their conversation. 'Very nice of you to save the boy, Holmes,' Van Rorin said, ' but who'll save you?' 'Jump!' Peachy sobbed, worried for the life of his friend. 'No, Carnehan,' Holmes called from the deck, 'I would surely drown.' 'Quiet!' Van Rorin shouted......'Now it's time to dispose of you, Holmes.'Peachy heard a shot and sunk his head below the surface. I can't believe it, he thought. Holmes is dead."

How do they do it?!
Okay, at first I have been a Zelda Fan since I first laid eye on the golden cartridge (Legend of Zelda.) Back In the NES days. I am skipping Adventures of Link because that does not count as a "Zelda" game (although good in it's own right.) Then came A Link to the Past on the SNES totally reinvented the "Zelda" Game Making this one the best one out there. And of course there is Link's awakening on GB this got back to the "Zelda" roots. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on N64 again awesome. Then a year or so later comes the Oracle Series better know as Ages and Seasons on GBC. They stuck with the tried and true for many years barely changing the story or style of play. Then I hear of Zelda: The Wind Waker, which is supposed to be cell-shaded and take place on a "Water World"-ish place. Totally getting away from "Zelda." What was I a fan to do? So I tried and I promise you will be amazed by the game play and sheer plot-driven story. Oh and yes Link has a Sissy.

Basic Garbage
I was anxious to buy a CoolWalker as soon as they came out. Having bought a new D-100 I could hardly wait to get out and take a zillion pictures. I did buy one and really wish I had not. It is extremely sloooow! Better stick to a 1GB card because the batteries won't make it through a 2GB card. Give up on playback - it is just too slow to be worthwhile at all. Oh yes, forget payback through the TV as it is supposed to do - the pictures look terrible on a standard TV and are very slow to load. Audience will die waiting for the next picture. All in all - it has been a terrible experience. I did solve my problem - I bought an iPod and it works just as advertised. Now I can't even seem to be able to give away the CoolWalker. Best offer I've had was $50. Nikon should stick with what they do well - make cameras. Love my camera, but their software sucks as does the not very cool CoolWalker.

Fantastic! All but one thing...
Wow! For the price, you get one hell of a deal.I have not used it a whole lot (as I only received it earlier today) but I will be this upcoming weekend during a family trip to San Diego. This should work A LOT better than a tripod in "touristy" areas like the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. We'll see. Hopefully it lives up to the hype that these reviews are leading it to be.However, there is one thing that came as a disappointment. The carrying case. It wasn't the actual case that was the problem, it was the zipper. I tried for a half hour to get it down... IT WOULD NOT BUDGE! I'm sure mine was just a faulty zipper that broke somewhere alone the line. I had to cut the monopod out - destroying the case. But honestly, I don't think I'd use the case anyways... I can just carry it around like the man I was born to be :)It also make for a nice baton in case you need to straighten anybody up.If I could, I'd give this product a 9/10.

Absolute Junk
This machine worked fine for the first week. After that however, it has been spotty at best. The frother does not work at all. It does not heat the milk properly and makes minimal froth. Even making a cup of espresso has become a crap-shoot. The pre-programmed amounts (single, double shots)give different amounts of water each time and more times than not, I've had to push the button several times to make one cup of espresso. The tray underneath fills with water constantly. I had a Krups machine for 10 years prior to buying this one. I want my old one back. This is garbage. Do not waste you money.P.S. Its noisy and rattles.

HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT BUY THIS TOY. When you set-up your password, it only responds to your voice. O.K., then when you try to open it you spend 10 minutes tring to get it to open ( or right.) And you have to have the exact same voice. So you have to pull to get it open. And the privcey is not high. So insted of getting this, why don't you get the kind with the locks and keys. MUCH more privcey. And a nother thing, when the paper runs out,I tried useing reg. paper,but it will fall out. This also seems pricey,(thats what I think.) But I do like the gel pen. (Becase blue is my favrite color.) I like that you can put whatever you want on the cover. I am 8, and i do not recomend this toy.

What a book!
This book is horrid. I highly recommend it . . . to burn. The language was hard to understand and very hard to follow. Although it did have some interesting points. Ok maybe zero. The best part of the whole thing was the end. But wait a minute. I never got that far. The DSM-IV is long and confusing. I found that it did not help me one bit. In fact, it actually made the situation worse. But there's nothing holding you back from reading this sure to be best seller. Go ahead. Waste your money if you so choose.

very disappointed in the level of workout
I have read the reveiws for this dvd, and most are very good. I am one of the few that are giving it a low rating. I have done a mouth of the insanity workout with Shaun t and a few of the charlean extreme workouts. This workout doesn t even come in the ballpark of those workouts. This is a good program for people just above 'beginners" A total body workout??? COME ON Your biggest muscle group in your upper body , is your back and chest. So you should spend more time and lift heavier weights in these areas. yet you work your bi s and tri s the most and use the same weight for tricept kickbacks as you do for one arm rows. Your biggest upperbody muscle group gets a little to no work. If you think this workout is advanced...do one of Shaun Ts insanity s workout, now thats advanced. Again good for medium fitness levels. I will bet alot of money, that Commander Tom didnt get his body from doing this workout!

Seemingly easy to use, FAILS
I bought the D-link DI-604 just because it was [less]than a comparable Linsys DSL router. I always knew that Linksys is the better network equipment maker.The router was extremely easy to set up. It truely was. I have never set up a router in my life but these things usually come easy for me.The thing about the router that I absolutely hate is where you plug in cables. The cables do not stay put. You constantly have to plug them back in. I have multiple brands of cables and none of them stay in. The router was not even moved. I'm wondering if the router just loses the link to the cable and not lose the cable physically.And another thing, the router constantly disconnects from the DSL modem and does not reconnect to it. I have to restart the router 5 times per day. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with the modem. It seems that the router is incompetent.Not recommended.Steve

Almost no full fights - Worst best of Ever!!!!!
This is really ridicolous. There are only two Full fights on Disc 1. Only small fragments of the fights. Some fights only last for seconds, and even when a round starts at minute 3 it keeps on jumping wildly. Its unbelievable how they could do this. So basically disc 1 is garbage. Only disc 2 features twenty full fights, but jones epic battles are completely crippled.A huge step back to previous edtions. Do not buy this compilation. They have mutilated all those glorious fights. I am really angry. I wanted to relieve all those awesome moments, this is a clear rip-off. What were they thinking???????????? Sorry for too fast dooming this Compilation but still what the hell.

Very nice.
Okay it's a comic so not really expecting it to go on forever. Can't say that the plot development was as good as it could have been if it was a novel like thing. BUT... I wish it was. It's a fantastically wonderful story. Don't let reviews on other sites fool you, it's not mostly geared to boys. It's not hentai, and no there aren't nakey pictures of women every other page. Honestly this is a well done piece of work and was well worth buying. It's one of the few lesbian items I've seen that were actually touching and well thought out. Most is either porn, or just people using the concept of two girls kissing to sell more books. But anyway, it's really nice, so if you're into lesbian stories, sci-fi and a shape shifting girl then give this a go.

Reek of Obsolesence, or, Tyme to Call it a Day
Hard to see the point of this one. It seems like a big step backward for Cathedral. Like, all the way back to Forest of Equilibrium. I didn't like it then, I don't like it now. I LIKED the oddball doom-boogie thing Cathedral had going the last few CDs. I guess they got tired of it. So it's back to leaden riffs, no grooves, and annoying singing. I can see moving their style backwards, but it seems like they got worse as musicians, too - nothing terribly impressive on the whole record. Lee Dorrian's vocals are as...unique...as ever. Hard to take doom seriously when it sounds like that. I dunno, with a goofy voice like that, seems like you'd WANT to sing about Planet of the Apes and Captain Cook. But I guess that's just me. Anyway, I thought Endtyme was a big disappointment. It's been a good 10 years for Cathedral, but if this is all they've got left in the tank, maybe it's time to quit.

Florid, Lurid and other -ids
This is not a boring book, oh no, but it has some major faults. Here's one, which pretty much killed the last part of the book for me, and hence, no real payoff: **SPOILER WARNING** the reveal of the bigbad vamp, the one we've heard but not quite seen, the one pushing all the buttons, the one that ~ heck, it would have been more satisfying if Steakley had just said, "Aw, it's Dracula" ~ ?? Yeah that one. Turns out he's actually NO ONE WE'VE EVEN HEARD OF UP TO THAT POINT IN THE BOOK. So when Felix says, "The bastard's name is..." you will respond with, "I'm sorry, WHO?".No punch. A lynch-pin disclosure in the book and it lacks any dramatic impact. Steakley tries to tell us all about him then, in the few paragraphs before he gets wasted by Team Crow anyway, but you won't care.Why didn't he make it one of the George Bushes? J.R. Ewing? That would have been more interesting.

R U Serious...
Everybody knows who the creator, writer, lead singer, and best singer of Destiny's Child was, Ms. Beyonce. Kelly, Latoya, and the other 2, didn't have what it took to lead this group. Listen to music and ask yourself, if you would even pay good hard earned money to go their concerts. Their has only been one who has made a semi billboard hit. Kelly... The others haven't done much to nothing. Instead of hatin', they should thank Beyonce for carrying them and making them millionaires in the process. Beyonce could and would have blown up with any other 2 or three girls. Believe me, Kelly, and the "other one", were the smartest ones. They shut up and were thankful for their high paying jobs. After Beyonce went solo, you know they went "darn it, there goes the money." They were right. The Kelly and "other one" want and need Beyonce back, not the other way around. Don't get it twisted again...

I liked it quite a bit
I always liked it. My son said it was flawed. That was so many years ago. I liked the story and I liked the actors. It kept me entertained flaws or no flaws. Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duval are standouts. They got John Barry to write the music so it can't be all bad. My days are numbered. This was one of the first DVDs that my son bought. He just found it in that pile of rubble he keeps in his room. I asked him for years to play it for me. Now I am too tired and it doesn't seem all that important. He put it in the player but the images seem to have lost the magic. The first time I saw it there was magic. I remember that it had a good story. The kind of story I like to see when I go to the movies. Well Tommy Lee and Duvall are still plugging away. Maybe there is magic in the world after all.

Exactly what we needed.
We have Uverse TV, Phone and Internet which all run off a modem. Our original Uverse Modem that had two phone jacks which worked great for our phone and fax, but it died. They replaced the old modem with their newest version that has only one phone jack (boo!), so we had to manually plug in the fax line every time we wanted to fax something. I initially tried the little plug-in splitter and it didn't work. This little switch does work. It works perfectly with the flip of the switch. So basic, but SO good.It's very easy to set up. I used my label maker to make a "Phone" label and a "Fax" label and stuck them in the area provided next to the A and B on the switch front panel. That way I never forget which is what. :)I highly recommend this little gadget.

THE WEIRDEST MOVIE
I went to the theather to see this movie expecting that it would be different. I had no idea what this film was about. After seeing "The Ring" I experienced many unusual things at my house. I heard noises and even saw the little girl. I wish that I was joking but that movie really FREAKED ME OUT!! I will never watch that movie again. The flashes on the screen come back at you after seeing the movie and if you notice there really isn't any kind of music in this film. I know that many people are probably reading this and thinking what a wimp...but I have been watching scary movies since I was five and I have never seen anything like this. I would not recommend this movie especially to kids. I think that this movie has a lot of evil in it. If I could I wouldn't even give this a star because it doesn't deserve it. I know that many people will think that it is just another "spooky" movie with no story line. I think that there is a lot more behind this movie that meets the eye.

Not for everyone... obviously
I received this book as a gift. I've been a dad for over 22 years and didn't really need a book on being a new dad. That's not why I gave it one star. I figured I could give this book away to someone who could get some use out of it but I opened it up to a random page (this is the honest truth) and this is the first thing I read. (pg 140)"Think like teens. Watch some porn videos together, grope each other in the back seat of a car, or have sex on the sink in the bathroom of a friend who invited you over for dinner."The author was referring to the dad's "partner" and not his child but still I was shocked. This is not what I'd expect to read in a book about being a new dad. If this is the kind of advice the author gives I don't care to hear what else he has to say. I threw the book away.

Disappointing iron at a very high price
This is the second Rowenta iron I've owned. The first one's burst of steam button broke barely a year after purchase. So I went for the Cadillac of the Rowenta line. It irons OK but leaks like crazy, particularly when the water level approaches the refill line. The self cleaning system seems sort of random, occasionally self cleaning a stain on to a shirt I am ironing. I would not buy the brand again. And the customer service people at Rowenta are like, well, imagine a customer service team run by a German lawyer. Not consumer friendly. The low mark is based on the price/quality ratio. For $25 I'd have given it a "3". This is one case where a higher price does not get better quality.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS NOT CAUSE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT.........
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and even though I give THE PHANTOM MENACE only two stars....I do it for good reason.My opinion of PHANTOM MENACE is quite simply explained. The original Star Wars looked real!!! It looked real because it was real!! Models and sets. That was the beauty of it!PHANTOM MENANCE, it seemed, was written in a manner to suit the computer effects they could do. Many of the scenes served absolutely zero purpose, other than to show off the computer CGI JUNK. Which, quite frankly, didn't transport the audience to a GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY, but instead into George Lucas' computer.The other thing that ruined the movie for me, was the way they chopped up the final battle. Cutting back and forth between the battle in the field and the lightsabre battle sucked the intensity, suspense and excitement right out of it. Leaving me going... humph, instead of WOW!!It's a bad movie. It's a cool movie, but it's a bad one....

Read this book!
I wish someone had urged me to read this book 5 years ago. I can't speak highly enough of it. It deserves more than five stars. So now I urge you to read it.The book's subtitle is deceiving. It gave me the impression that this was a collection of different news stories. I couldn't imagine how a bunch of news stories about Rwanda could be "riveting." So I borrowed the book from the public library because I didn't want to buy a book that I might find dull.The book *is* riveting. Now that I've read it, I want to buy it.Each story builds *the* story. The author's comments on the stories and the way he relates the history add so much to it. Unlike a history book, _We wish to inform you_ doesn't just spit out facts; the facts are personalized.My only criticism is that this book really should have included an acronym list. Part 2 contained so many acronyms that, although they were initially spelled out, I had a hard time remembering which meant what.

This is the worst book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the worst book I have ever read. I read it last year in fifth grade and I am 11 now. DO NOT THINK OF ME AS A SMALL CHILD!!!!!!!!!I am extremely mature (I am not bragging)and usually enjoy childish books with more to them than meets the eye, but this book was just plain stupid. It was full of mathematical errors and it seemed like the author wrote some of the events just to fill up space. Those events had absolutely nothing to do with the plot and had practically no effect on the ending. I should have read this when I was 4 or 5 and actually liked this type of literature. Yes there was interesting word play, but it was not enough to make up for the total idiocy of the storyline. I simply CANNOT understand the people who like this book as it is boring and immature. I liked Norton Juster's The Dot and the Line(which is a PICTURE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!), but was sorely disappointed with the results of this waste of paper, money, ink, and time.

The best is only to be started over
HEY, this is the greatest RP freaking G I have every played for dreamcast so far. I really like the battle style(a bit hard to grasp at first), not only that but the music and the characters are wonderfully emotional. The game has a big dead lead line heart beat of belief inself. This was a great game for me because of my veiws on the storyline(can't tell why or it,ll ruin it for ya!). But lets forget about the charaters for a sec and go into graphics. The graphics are the thing that makes me still think that the dreamcast is better than PS2. It really has beutifully animated cenes and spells not to mention the real time graphics. This game was one I couldn't put down it was so good i felt like I was in the game. I'll shut up now but THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE AND WILL BE REMEBERED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWSOME!!

JOSE COLON
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton is a pretty good book! Ethan marries Zeena, because Zeena was taking care of his sick mother. Ethan had no way of repaying her for her work, so he married Zeena. Zeena became ill and wasn't able to do any work around the house. Zeena sent to get her cousin Mattie to help around the house. As time goes by Ethan falls in love with Mattie. Zeena has some clue that their is something going on between them. She tells Ethan that she is going to send Mattie away and bring someone who is more helpful. Ethan doesn't want her to leave and he wants to leave with her, but doesn't have enough money. While Ethan is taking Mattie to the train station they stop and get on a sleigh one last time. There is a sharp turn at the hill and an elm tree in front, and they wanted to hit the tree and died. They did hit the tree but did not died. Zeena ended up taking care of both of them, and they all lived together in the farm!

Yes, Virginia, I Can Still Be Shocked
I took the advise of the reviewer, Ms. Manning, and read this for myself, and on many levels, I found the book horribly shocking. The woman (heroine?)was a victim of her parents and was willingly manipulated by an awful father. Her husband? I actually liked him better than her since he at least acknowledged he had a problem. What I really find shocking, though, is the attitude of the reviewers. One calls the issue of beating up women a "controversial" subject. One relegates this violence to "political correctness". I really thought beating the h--- out of someone smaller than you was universially deplored (except by the perpetrator). There's nothing controversial or political about beating up women and children. It's quite simply disgusting and the bully who does it is a scum bag.

GREAT DEAL
Great watch. Does what it says, and you can't beat the price. Good watch for a small wrist, like mine. Mine keeps correct time to within 8 seconds/month. I was at a jewelry store, chatting with the owner. He told me that these electronic watches, even the very cheap ones, keep better time than the most expensive, including Rolex. That because many expensive ones still use mechanics (like gears-remember them?), and they cannot match "electrons" for accuracy. I like all the features, and the locking clasp on the band. Got good customer service from Casio, whom I called to ask how I go about reducing the band size. They emailed me the instructions.So: inexpensive, accurate, versatile, and even looks good. Such a deal!!! We'll have to see how long the "10 year battery" actually lasts.

Pretentious, Self-Righteous Drivel
Not that I don't like the Bergmanesque pace of the film: That's the best part IMO, though simple to pull off. No, I dislike the ignorant, preening contempt for pre-WWI Germans by coddled, soft, well-to-do, know-nothing moderns. BTW, I think what most bothers "progressive" Germans and their offshoots about the two wars is not that their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents "started" them, but that they LOST them.But nevermind. As Churchill said, the Hun is either at your throat or at your feet. I think you can guess where the luvvies who created this effort are situated. Could that change? No, because the Germans don't reproduce anymore. Thank God.All right. What ARE the roots of National Socialism? Same as International Socialism: Rousseau. Read him, if you actually, you know, read books.

cheezy and just plain terrible!
My daughter highly recommended it to us. The first half of the movie is so boring, and just nausiating. We kept waiting for it to improve, but never did!! This movie is terrible. No redeeming qualities at all, and at the end, we were both incredulous, that we wasted our time. On a scale of 1 to 10.....a minus 10. Don't waste your time or money. I almost saw it in the theater. glad I didn't. Go see Tintin instead!!

Not helpful
I found most of the advice in this book to be overly obvious and not very useful. Like where to go to meet guys--bars, saunas, gyms, gourmet food stores--duh! Tell me something I haven't already thought of, and tell me some lines that are really funny and not over the top stuff like, "Where can I find the freshest meat?" Who in the world really says that? I felt like the author treated the whole business of cruising and meeting guys to be a big joke, not the fine art that it is, and something that we really need to work on. Also, some of the stuff in there was just wrong--like "foreplay is for girls!" What??? I don't know what planet this guy is from, but foreplay, anticipation, and attraction are the hottest parts of chemistry that two males can share. If you want real advice on this, I think you're better off looking in the straight aisle, i.e. Double Your Dating by David deAngelo (a downloadable e-book). I've picked up some great tips there and have used them on boys.

I chose...poorly
Returned this CD after two weeks. The hypnotherapist tries to get you into a deep sleep way too early. Then the images she uses are disjointed. You're in a library, for example, then you look down at you feet, and suddenly you're on a mountaintop! What?? I was just in a library! And how is a mountaintop relaxing? It's freezing up there! So you try to adapt - but then all of the sudden, you're on a beach! Forget it. And she makes references to a baby - which is NOT at all relaxing. Kids stress me out. I was too jarred and uncomfortable. This CD harmed more than it helped. Really lousy.

Bought It - Returned It
The price seemed right and it appeared well built. But I found the table frustrating to use.Pros1. Solidly built2. Relatively easy speed changes with speeds clearly marked3. Good manualCons1. Table too small2. Awkward adjusting table height3. Underneath of table is open and ribbed which makes clamping difficult3. Depth guage on left side fell off during assembly4. A little rattle at the higher speed. Just enough to be annoying. Never could pin it down.Summary5 stars for functionality and good construction-2 stars for the table-1 star for the depth guage====2 stars overall.The frustration of working with the table may steer you to the 12 inch model. It appears to be the better product although at twice the price.

Come on -- let's get real
OK, I'm not going to give away the ending. But here is the plot. Two men are found dead in a liferaft, apparently with expensive clothes put on them after death. This is a mystery that isn't solved. A Latvian cop is killed and for some reason, the Latvian police call on Kurt Wallender -- who is Swedish and speaks not a word of Latvian -- to cross the Baltic and solve their crime. Good investigative technique -- interview people who don't speak your language. But that's the premise of this book, and it makes no sense at all! Okay, so it is dark and brooding and Scandinavian, but give me a break. At least give us some kind of plot to make us suspend disbelief (This may be easier in Sweden where everyone drinks, smokes, drinks coffee and commits suicide.) It is well written but you've got to have a plot. Oh yes, in the end the solution comes from out of nowhere after Wallender has messed it up.

Great For Skype
I work from home and spend a lot of time on the phone. This phone works great! It handles Skype better then any other phone I have seen and also takes care of your land line in one nice package.The phone works very well with Skype. When you get a voice mail in Skype, it flashes and lets you know. The reason I have not given in 5 star is that it is somewhat buggy. I'm not sure if its Skype or the phone. Sometime you will punch in a number and it just comes back and say "call failed". I then have to use my land line to complete the call. I have also gotten the phone to lock up before too. Its not perfect but it does the job.As far a land lines go, its a good phone too. It is able to tell when I have a voice mail on land line and notifies me of this.The best phone for Skype that I have ever seen. I wanted to buy the extra phones for this system but they are very hard to find.

Tipping Trike
How could this Fold 2 Go Trike have such great reviews? I have a 27 month old son, who is 35" tall, and can actually pedal this tricycle. He loves riding his trike, but this thing constantly tips over and over when he turns, regardless of what speed he's going. Good thing for helmets! At least he's learning why helmets are important! The build of this tricycle is good and will seem to last long, despite the multiple crashes it will probably see in it's lifetime. Honestly, this Fold 2 Go Trike should be recalled, redesigned with a wider wheelbase to prevent/reduce tipping, and/or come with a push handle like other models. NOT RECOMMENDED, unless you're a fan of bringing your kid to the ER/Urgent Care... I'm just thankful my son hasn't been injured using this product. It's off to try the more expensive Kettler Tricycles. This time we'll bring his helmet to the store and have him test it before making the purchase. His safety is worth the extra hundred plus dollars!

Ever Thought...
Have you ever thought to put yourself in Glass' shoes? Maybe then you might understand why he did what he did. He wanted to succeed and in doing so he lied...he thought he would get away with it but he didn't. I, like many have to admit that lying and fabricating something is horrible and wrong but I just can't help but feel sorry for him. Glass is just like us, making mistakes and learning from them. I bet he knows what he did was wrong but what can he do about it now than say sorry over and over again? He wrote this book to show us the story from his point of view. Instead of being angry and saying what a waste of money this book was, understand what he is going through. It started with the want to succeed, the fear of someone discovering his lies, the denial of doing something wrong and then the embarrassment when everyone knows what he did.

The Most Overrated Film I Have Ever Seen
The fact that this film won 11 Oscars defies all logic. DiCaprio and Winslet are horrible, the script is cliched and preachy, and the movie jusssst . . . drrrragsssss . . . onnnnnn! After 2 hours I look up at the damn screen and cry out, "JUST SINK ALREADY!!!". This film deserved NONE of the praise it gained. It did NOT deserve to earn $600 million, and it most definitely did NOT deserve to win the Best Picture Oscar. It just goes to show you: the Oscars are no longer decided by the quality of the film, but instead, by its budget. Thank you, and good night.

Good Gameplay/ Short Playing Time
The gameplay fells average, just like the "on a track" feel of Medal of Honnor Allied Assault. Not much space to improvise or take another aproach. Just do "that" and lets go to the next level. The sound and graphics are very good, nothing new but really pleasant with attention to detail. There's no "Use" button, you can not open doors or drive vehicles. The movement is slow, no mather how you are aiming. The best aspect of this game is that,for some times, you can feel very inmersed in the story and in the "war" that is going on around you. The multiplayer option needs more development. My biggest complain is the time for completing it. Terribly short time, I finished in TWO days. For a game on this price there are other options in this particular genre (First person) that have a more value for money (Ex. Return to Castle Wolfestein or No One Lives Forever). Get it if you can buy it used for a very low price, but paying more than $40.00 for it is not very wise.

This is a peice of garbage
I am in general very proud of what the boys at Rockstar have accomplished in there carear. The prestigious GTA and Max Payne series are no doubt the greatest in there genre. I have found that Red Dead Revolver falls far from the mark. This is just not an impressive game at all. The graphics are chopy, gameplay is repetative, and the characters are shallow and almost just a formality. The only highnote is that the multiplayer mode is a lot of fun but to truly experience a range of levels, characters, or weapondry with your friends, you need to play the monotoneous main story. In the end, it is just not worth it. If you are looking for a good Rockstar game, I advise Bully, or GTA. If you want a good western game, buy Gun. It is a lot deeper and cleaner. If you just want a fun game, I highly recomend Destroy All Humans 1 or 2.

Small block but big fun
I have some wooden blocks from my childhood that my godson loves and plays with every time he visits. So I decided to buy him some. I LOVED the price on these, and from the picture guessed they were exactly what I was looking for. I guess I should probably say the blocks I have are BIG. Some are about 6 inches and the smallest are maybe 2 inches. Great for my 2.5 year old godson who has a newborn brother. Zero choking risk. The blocks I received are SMALL!!! Most are about one inch. Definitely small enough for a kid to get in their mouth. My godson still LOVES them. He built houses, roads and all kids of things. We even learned a few shapes with out him really knowing he was learning. I would recommend them for slightly older children due to the fact that the small size makes them a bit more difficult to stack for those with less developed motor skills. Over all I"m pretty happy with them I just wish they were a bit bigger.

One of the greatest musical groups ever!
I just recently discovered Brasil '66 when I heard "Pretty World" on a jazzy oldies type station. I knew instantly that the singer was someone special & a master singer. Now I'm listening to many of their songs and I never get tired of them. Their music is just pure, clean, good, real music! It is free from technical gimmicks or anything heavy or unnecessary. Their music is so happy, innocent, and fun. I LOVE IT. I can't get enough of it! They're definitely my favorite right now. The best thing about Brasil '66 is Lani Hall. What a great singer she is. Also the jazzy bossanova instrumentals are refreshingly different from anything I've listened to before. I'm looking forward to getting better hi-fi equipment so I can hear them in all their glory. I bet they sound really great on a tube stereo system.

Just what I was looking for! Great Product!
I bought this item, gently used, at a garage sale for $10. I already had one Aroma stainless rice cooker in my primary home (puchased at Costco Mexico!) and simply loved it. I wanted another one at my U.S. part time home, but wasn't willing to pay retail for it (even though it is definitely worth every penny!) ---- Just cooked my first batch of brown rice, it took approx. 1 hr. 50 minutes (from my exp. with my other unit and looking in that products user's manual, I expected the timing) --- came out soft, just like I wanted! Sure beats trying to babysit it on the stovetop!!!!5 STARS AND THEN SOME!!

amazing
True Names is not a short story. It was a well-reasoned, extraordinarily original prediction, wrapped in a short story. And it came true. Vernor Vinge is not just a writer. He saw that online identity and privacy would be central issues in 1979. It's still opaque to me how this was even remotely possible to do.I think I was born ten years too late. I was a child when strong crypto was a rallying cry. I didn't even know how to program -- and my abilities are still primitive today. But all I can say is I wish I had been there. I wish I had been there. I wish I could have *helped.*"Now was it that both found, the meek and loftyDid both find, helpers to their heart's desire,And stuff at hand, plastic as they could wish;Were called upon to exercise their skill,Not in Utopia, subterranean fields,Or some secreted island, Heaven knows where!But in the very world, which is the worldOf all of us,--the place where in the endWe find our happiness, or not at all! "--Wordsworth

Great vacuum but I can't buy belts/bags,etc. in any of my local stores anymore.
I would be very skeptical when buying this or any other Electrolux product. I bought mine from Lowe's. I didn't realize they were going to stop selling it. They did within months of my purchase and stopped selling the belts and bags within six months. I went to other stores and I haven't had any luck. I also went to the Electrolux vacuum sales/service center. I was told Eureka owned the small vacuum business(the cheap vacuums). So now if I buy these then I must buy them off of Amazon and pay shipping every time. Who knows how long I'll be able to buy them here? Don't buy this vacuum!!!! I will never even buy a Electrolux appliance now. I don't trust them.

Very impressive!
The bike was delivered in less than a week, as promised. Assembly was very easy because the instructions take you through the process step by step. It took about an hour. The only thing to note is that the main frame is a pretty large piece and might require 2 people to maneuver it out of the box, depending on your strength. I love the workout selections, and it will really let you work up a sweat! I am a 29 year old man in decent shape and some of the higher settings will really push me hard! But it is versatile enough that it can be used by anyone of any age, with any fitness level. I was surprised at how quiet it is during a workout. I usually listen to music during a workout, but I remember the first time I took out the earbuds, I could barely hear the wheel turning! This bike is very sturdy and even when I'm peddling really hard, it doesn't shake or wobble like some other "at home" versions of equipment I have tried. Overall, I would really recommend this to anyone.

100% Satisfied.. now
I bought the unit, got it home, and played some movies through my HDMI hookup. It looked flawless, even better than how the store demo unit looked. By comparison to seeing blu-ray in action, HD DVD completely blows it away. Unfortunately, the player I bought had a glitch that caused the hdmi port to fail. Returned and exchanged it, and my second unit works flawlessly. I've had a couple of the lockup problems, although none ever during playback. Its just a matter of turning off, unplugging, then replugging and turning the unit on again. I guess thats the price to pay for such wonderful technology as an early adopter, but I wouldn't give this thing up at all. It works wonderfully as an upscaling dvd player. If you're considering an upscaling dvd player, just spend the extra few hundred and buy this. You won't be sorry.

High quality sound from a gorgeous little box
Gorgeous may be subjective but the sound of this radio says it all. I find it very pleasing to listen to and very balanced between the highs, lows and the mid-range. I listen to jazz and can hear all the nuances that other radios were either missing or blurring. Super clarity. Surprising volume. High quality. Let me say it...for the discriminating listener! Small footprint. Can be used in RVs and boats (can use DC). I also listen to CD recordings using my CD player and its great. The only thing I find myself missing are the little digital buttons which allow you to move between stations. But if I have to give that up for quality...hey! I am more than willing. Everything went into the building of this fine component and I am thankful that it is available at such an unbelievable reasonable price.

One of the best....
Disney's masterpieces have always relied on music, so the music has to be memorable and magical. This collection of various Disney tunes (including everything from "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" to "Mickey Mouse Club March") is a true gem. If you remember Disney by the early films, your music is here. If you remember the Golden Age ("The Little Mermaid" through "Aladdin"), your music is here. If your Disney is the later years ("Pocahantas" through "Tarzan"), your music is here. It's all here--even the Main Street Electrical Parade theeme! This album has something for the whole family, and is critical to any Disney music collection! Also reccomended are the other volumes in this series. (So far there have been five editions--this one is the second.) But I especially reccomend this one. ;o) Do yourself a favor and add it to your collection! If you're a Disney fan, you'll never forget this album. (SURE HIT!)

The Destruction of the SWRPG
What can I say? WOC has done it again. They have gone and ruined one of the most flexible and fun role-playing games in history. If you really want to enjoy a Star Wars RPG go find West End's Edition at a used bookstore. Basically WOC has has written their there very own GURPS. D&D=GURPS Fantasy. Star Wars=any GURPS space titles. Too many rules get in the way of the story, and the story is what is really important in RPG Campaigns. Can you really have fun as a player if you have to keep referring to Alien Table 4 in the Table Annex on Page 34 in Chapter 4? No. Give me the old D6 system, good friends, and good beer.

Charming
This movie is a favorite in my family as well. Anthony Andrews was a perfect actor to portray the character of Percy. The romance was sigh worthy and the presentation was wonderful. The musical score gave it a perfect added touch. I think this movie was very well done for its time, and enjoy it everytime I watch it. You know the actor is a good one when he can be annoyingly foppish, a passionate romantic, a dashing savior, a courageous swordsman, a comedian, and did I mention good-looking all in one movie. Anthony Andrew not only had to portray himself as Percy, but as all the characters that The Scarlet Pimpernel has to pose as to carry out his good deeds. Jane Seymore, of course, is a classic beauty. Again, not disappointing me as the heroine of a contagious story. I hope this movie comes out on DVD. It would be a shame not to.

Easy to replace - direct fit.
I bought a '99 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport in December, and about a month later the radiator cracked. I'm on a budget, so I looked around for the best price and this Spectra was it. (It's the same one you find at an auto parts store, but much cheaper). I installed it myself and it was relatively easy, albeit pretty messy. It was a direct fit and I didn't have any problems installing it. One thing I would recommend is buying genuine radiator hoses from the dealership. I bought generic ones from two different auto parts stores, and they didn't fit well. I ended up using the old lower hose and one of the third party hoses (which still doesn't fit right -- I had to use two hose clamps on it). I'd also recommend buying a genuine Subaru thermostat and radiator cap. The third party thermostat looks like crap. About five months later and I've no issues with this. Highly recommended.

The book does not measure up to how professional traders trade
This book is really basic and it will help you get an understanding on how to buy and sell stocks. However, advanced or even mid-level subjects are not covered at all. Trading is not that simple. Don't let anybody fool you. So you need to study and learn from traders like Ed Seykota, Linda Raschke, Toby Crabel. These are professional traders. Check on EBAY if there is anything for sale from them. Buy it. Study them. They dont have time to write books because trading is their job. So yes, this book is ok primer, then move on to study the real traders

Pure Genius? Or mastubatory drivel?
It's both! At the same time!Is this what creative music is supposed to be? Or just America wallowing in its own filth? You decide - it just depends from which angle you look at!People on the street wonder why I've got an ear-to-ear grin coming off my headphones. I haven't been this excited about an album since I was 14 and discovered Sgt. Pepper!Naked City, Don Van Vliet, Bing Crosby and Beethoven on the same album! Not to mention Dally Proton! James Brown! Agatha Christie!These are the Original hits! These are the Original stars!Order by midnight tonite!!!

Good concept
The idea of a museum coming to life is awesome. History, love, Science, art ect wow. This movie destroys itself as it progresses. They drag you into the concept of it being real only to destroy this thought or overlining premiss of the whole moive by the line from Willims "Pres. Roosevelt" when he states oh I am only a wax figure made in ? what can you expect out of me I never did any of those things.(cannal,hunting, ect) What's the piont.I bought it because the previews were funny. Save your money and just watch the previews. The movie is not funny the lines are weak but the grafics are good . The special edition also stunk. The whole thing was nothing but watch our movei not this is how we did this and why we chose him ect. a real let down in more then the pocket. );

this mat is sufficient for doing yoga. however, your hands slip a lot while trying to hold downward dog... which being one of the main poses... poses a problem. i just grip with my fingers harder on the mat and it works. it's my own fault for buying the cheapo mat... but otherwise it's fine. thickness is good for me, i don't like super thick mats. length is good. but the biggest problem is the slippage. i mean your hands and feet can't help but get at least a tiny bit slippery from sweat which leaves you sliding. this mat = bad call. go for more expensive, better quality. if you can buy one in person so you can feel it. probably a much wiser decision.

What is this book for, a fairy??
I bought this book for my dad as a Christmas gift and I'm now returning it because it's tiny! It fits in the palm of my hand! It's like 2x2 inches, completely small. I wouldn't even call this a book. No where on the page does it state this is a "mini book" and it should right in the title! Instead, if you happen to read the dimensions of books you're ordering (I know I don't!) then you'll see that it is indeed a tiny book. But who actually reads the dimensions of a book?? It's not necessary. So just beware. This book is TINY!

Mo' Money Mo' Problems
I don't own this CD, but I do own Ready to Die and Life After Death, and I love Biggie. Every fan asks "Where's _____? It's my favorite song!" which, given the comments, remains the case here. I'm happy to finally pick up the "One More Chance" Remix that samples DeBarge's "Stay With Me"; it was popular on the radio, and now we can all get it on iTunes. But I have to ask: where's "Mo' Money Mo' Problems"? It may not be his best hit, but it's definitely his biggest. "Hypnotize" is a hip hop classic, but even my grandma knows "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems." And the phrase became part of our vernacular because of this song. I know many people that scoff at the mention of hip hop culture and can't pick Biggie out in a crowd, but even they remark, "Yeah, mo' money mo' problems." Oh well, so much for documenting a cultural moment. That said, Biggie Smalls is still the illest: "B-I-G/P-O-P-P-A/No info for the/D-E-A..."

A Nice Addition to A Christian Home
This is a lovely Bible. The colorful graphics, page layouts, and inserts are appealing to the younger age groups (adults too) and really draw the reader in. The language is clear, easy to read, and easy to follow especially if you are familiar with the traditional KJV. I took one look through it at my local Borders and just had to take it home with me. If you have children, this would make an especially nice gift Bible (I wish I had received one like this back then). I would also recommend this Bible to youth group leaders or youth Bible study groups. As a former youth group leader, this would have been my Bible of choice. The only thing I would recommend to the publisher, if a second edition comes out, is to include maps. I make constant reference to them when I read, and it would be a good way to start teaching youth the Biblical geography we hear so much about in the news today. Otherwise, I really like this Bible. Buy it and enjoy.

Great Story, writing not so great
Don't get me wrong, I loved this book as much as the next crazed fan. My only grip with it is the writing. It's juvenile and boring. The structure of the sentences and descriptions are lethargic, there are tons of cliche descriptions(i.e. "he looked like a male model for raincoats." and describing Edward as an angel.) Been there, done that. With that said, I'm amazed at how entranced I became with this book. I got it yesterday and finished it in 5 hours flat. I literally couldn't bear to put it down. It hurt to leave the book! And I, probably with his league of girls around the globe, have fallen in love with Edward. I'm just puzzled at how Meyer did that: bad writing yet had me fall helplessly in love with a fictional character. Bizarre. Must be some kind of magic there. I was DAZZLED! =)))

One of Brown's worst stories
I had the misfortunate of listening to RILEY IN THE MORNING read by Alison Fraser. By the middle of the second tape I was so ready for it to be done I kept fast forwarding through it. I thought that Brin was such a jerk. Riley was meant to be a jerk at times but Brin was supposed to be this hot shot producer. Instead she turns into the wimpiest character I have ever seen in a Sandra Brown book. And her reason for leaving Riley was the DUMBEST reason I can imagine. It is hard to have sympathy for a character who up and leaves without giving the man she purports to love a chance to work things out. That is crass and ridiculous to the extreme. As you can see, I HATED this book. And I hate that I hated it because, truth be told, I LOVE Sandra Brown's later works. She improved dramatically. If you want the real Brown, don't start with this book. It is drivel of the worst kind.

All Around TERRIBLE
This company was HORRIBLE to deal with. I emailed them no less than 4 times and NEVER to this day got a response. I called them twice and was frustrated to no end both times. Both times they assured me my package was on its way. Neither time did it show up. When it finally arrived 6 weeks later, I actually tried this makeup and it's horrible. It's a really cheap imitation of Sephora. If you're going to spend the money, go buy Sephora. That make up is amazing. L'oreal and store brands are better than this. Even my teen daughter didn't like it. It's a really bad product.

Terrible purchase
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up concerning this horse. Do not waste your money. My niece had a little horse that looked just like this one and was very sturdy. I thought I was buying the same one, I was not. It is extremely rickety, sorry there is not other word to describe this toy. We bought it for our three year old (around 32 lbs.) for Christmas and I was hoping that it would simply make it through the day without breaking. I didn't want her Christmas ruined because her toy broke. It's legs bend very easily. I am not sure what type of support it has but it feels like a wooden rod through the back. I have to say that it is cute but useless. It is not cute enough to be decoration and not sturdy enough to be ridden. Kids can sit on the horse but they must sit very still and be careful getting on and off, as it is prone to collapse. Just a note of advice, research any purchases you make through other companies first.

A Classic TV Series!!
This review actually covers all 7 seasons of The Golden Girls....I absolutely LOVE The Golden Girls. I was only nine years old when I started watching, and I remember watching it with my grandmother. She would laugh hysterically at so many of the episodes, and, watching it now as an adult, I can completely understand why. The chemistry between all four women was amazing! I think that if they started showing this show again now, I'm pretty sure it could be as popular as it used to be. Just look at the latest success for Betty White. Still as hysterical as ever! (Although, it would be interesting to see reactions about the very 80s fashions, lol)All of the DVDs in this series collection worked just fine for me. I really enjoyed the bonus features. And, because I have a disability where manipulating a remote control can sometimes be awkward, it was nice to be able to just press play and it would play the entire disc which was roughly 6-7 episodes. Definitely a must have!

Shameful!
It's hard to believe that a country lost 1/4 of its people over nothing. This work felt more like something on PBS than A&E. Usually, A&E Biographies are bright, light-hearted, and chatty. This one kept it somber based on the seriousness of the subject. The work doesn't make this connection, but I immediately thought of Jim Jones, Stalin, and many other self-destructive and genocidal leaders. The work doesn't mention the United Nations until the very end. I kept asking myself why didn't the UN do more. This disc also goes from discussing Pol Pot in the 1970s then jumps to the 1990s. Why make that leap? Why was nothing done in the 1980s? Much is mentioned of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants in the US. Why don't people talk about those in the Cambodian diaspora more if they faced such a tragedy? It's not that this is a bad documentary, it's that the subject is so tragic and frustrating. I hope nothing like this and on this scale happens during this new century.

Trouble shooting
It is May 2006. The Telezapper TZ900 has been discontinued for at least a couple of years. You can still buy them online at Amazon, eBay, and other sellers. I just bought one online. It didn't work.Beware that if the unit sat in the distribution channel for some years, which is possible, the internal battery may be no good. I found that the Privacy Technologies Co. provides excellent troubleshooting and help with other installation problems. Call them at 1-800-373-6290. You will need the info on the bottom label: Model, Plant, and Mfg. Code.They got mine working quickly. They answered the phone quicky. The dealt with my issue with courtesy.

Great fan, but incorrect Specs...
Excellent fan. I am replacing the same model, which was installed 15 years ago. It is a little loud. Bothers my wife, but not me...so I like it.The description says it is 180 CFM (How much air it moves). This number is correct. The description also says it is 5.5 sones (This is how much noise it makes. The lower the number, the more quietly it operates). This number is WRONG. When you receive the product, you will see that the box and spec sheet are clearly marked that it is 6.5 sones. If that is a deal breaker for you, be aware, otherwise, happy fanning.Told my wife that I would install it on the weekend. I will actually get to it by Tuesday.

Great looking stroller...terribly made!
After weeks of researching lightweight strollers, I came across this one (at BRU). It had everything I was looking for. It is a great looking stroller with sturdy wheels and long handles (both my husband & I are tall). We bought the stroller & used it on a trip the same weekend. It became quickly apparent that Chicco made a gross error in designing this stroller. The seat is held up by a piece of cardboard which quickly bent when my 11 month old was placed in the stroller. The bending caused him to sit in a position that looked most uncomfortable. We returned the stroller as soon as our trip was over & the kind ladies at BRU were most helpful in taking it back. They were very surprised to see the poor craftsmanship when we pointed it out! I was trying to aviod the cost of a Maclaren, but found out quickly...you get what you pay for! The Volo is a great stroller.

Completely unable to make this work. A waste of money.
We are technophiles. We have lots of gadgets and we are good at getting them to talk to each other. I have personally set up more than 5 universal remotes, and do not think that it is a difficult process in general. I have programmed many buttons, I have run cables, I have played with dongles. I have definitely made my way around remote controls, and I was very excited about the potential of this remote.I can't comment at all about how well this remote works because I could never get it to work. I went through the set up process three separate times, and my father in law (a computer professional with 8 computer related patents under his belt!) couldn't get it to work either. Logitech's tech folks were never able to find out why I couldn't sync up despite much time with them.In the end, I gave up in disgust. Wasted money. It is still sitting in my living room, mocking me. If you purchase this, I wish you better luck than I had.

a must for new moms!!!!!
I love this thing!!! I had never heard about them until I saw it in a pregnancy magazine. I then came online to read the reviews and ended up buying one for myself. It's great for breast feeders and bottle feeders! It puts the baby at the perfect level. My mom-in-law uses it just to hold the baby because it cradles the baby and allows your arms to relax. The cover is easy to wash, you just zip it right off! My daughter is 6 months now and I still use it. I put it on the floor and put her in it. It supports her enough so she won't tip over, but helped her learn to sit on her own. It also works as a great pillow and neck support for lying on the floor or couch. i recommend it to everyone!!!

EXCELLENT EXCELLANT BOOK
Your two and a half year old can read this book by him/herself after you read it with them a few times! It is my daughter's favorite just like the Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? book by the same author. The kids like to peep at the next page and see which animal it next and then read it. They learn a lot of new words from this book such as hissing, braying, bellowing, etc. And the most impressive thing is my daughter has learnt how to pronounce certain hard words from this author's books and she does just fine. At her age, she can actually say "boa constrictor" (one of the animals in the book) very clearly and with such innocence she reads the third last page as follows: "zoo peeker, zoo peeker, what do you hear? instead of zookeeper zookeeper! Thank you Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle, for creating this book. I have had this book for months and my daughters still love it. It is nothing but the BEST !!!!

Warmed over Plum pudding
I've read every Plum book and loved them, and I was expecting METRO GIRL to be a fresh, new heroine from the cheese-doodle-stained keyboard of Janet Evanovich. But sadly, this is simply re-hashed Plum. Stephanie Plum (hereafter referred to as SP) has Lula and Rex; Barney has Judey and Brian. SP has Grandma Mazur; Barney has Rosa. Wild Bill looked at girls' (...); Joe Morelli played choo-choo. We have doodahs and doodles and demolished cars. And there are too many lists in this book. Every time they go to a convenience store, do we have to have a grocery list of every item they bought? I found NASCAR Guy to be incredibly annoying. I never felt any emotional attachment to him like I do with Joe and Ranger. I only finished the book because ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Excuse me. I dozed off. I only finished because I hate to admit defeat. In hindsight, I should have waved the white flag at about page 50 and moved on.

Really?
I guess I just don't get it. I've seen lots of cheesy 80's sci-fi movies but I never thought to classify them as masterpieces. Aside from the out-dated effects and crappy acting, it didn't even make sense. I have a hard time sympathizing with a ROBOT. Great, it has feelings. By that standard Short Circuit is a filmmaking masterpiece too. IRobot made a statement about society, but I don't see that here. You want to see a filmmaking masterpiece from the 80's? Go watch Conan the Barbarian. If you can't see how well that film was made then don't tell me I'm close minded because I can't see the greatness of this cheese-fest. People need to grow up. It's a cheesy 80's flick. Just cause you like it, doesn't mean it's the greatest movie ever made.

What do I have to lose? The money I spent on this book
God is not Santa Claus. A friend suggested this book to me. I began to read it out of respect for my friend. But, quite frankly, I think it is egotistical in the extreme to think that God is going to "give" one money. Does that mean that he doesn't love the poor? Oh, contrare. He loves them...read the Sermon on the Mount.God does not give us parking space. God does not care if I am rich or poor.God does care about my salvation. He does care about how I treat others. He does care about my immortal soul.I am quite poor at the moment, but it is circumstances, not God, that are "at fault."God helps me through the dark times, not by giving me my wants, but by giving me the strength and character to get through them. And, even when I get through them, that doesn't mean that there is a pot of gold there. It likely means that I have a much closer and better relationship with my creator.

The P Word
Why doesn't any one else say it? "The L Word" has nothing to do with gay liberation or feminism. It's pornography pure and simple, a commercial attempt to main-stream porn by making it look PC. The plot is meaningless, the dialogue ridiculous. The whole point of the series is to show nude women having sex in front of the camera. I'll bet the actors aren't even lesbians. I only watched three episodes of this sexist crap. Enough is enough.Those who think this series will aid lesbians in their quest for equal rights are kidding themselves. "The L Word" is part of the same context as obviously sexist serials such as "Deadwood". It's about pushing the limits of what's acceptable on TV. What will come next, I wonder?

What's French for "Marveleous"?
I loved this movie. It's poetic, tragic, romantic and full of wit. Gerard Depardieu's Cyrano was perfect. He wasn't acting, he WAS Cyrano. His love for Roxanne tugged at my heart. It was a noble thing for Cyrano to help Christian woo Roxanne with his beautiful poetry. That kind of giving is a rarity. For fourteen years he kept his secret, all in the name of his love for Roxanne. Even as he was dying, he still denied that it was he who wrote the letters, but Roxanne realized the truth as her eyes were opened to what had been right in front of them for years. I highly recommend this film, whether you speak French or not(Thank goodness for subtitles). It's a tear jerker. And it will make you laugh as well. Cyrano's wit is without rival, especially during the duel scene. The movie was well-acted and well-filmed. And the costumes were great. "Cyrano de Bergerac" is just superb all around.

Not much of a "LIVE" album
I am a big fan of Pam Tillis. I have been since her debut country CD "Put Yourself In My Place." I think Pam's albums are great. It is a shame she is not as popular as she was in the mid nineties. This album however is the WORST live album I have EVER heard. The audience doesn't seem too entertained. Usually when an artists begins and finishes a song on a live album, you hear thunderous applause. Not the case on this one. Did she only sing to 5 people? Pam's vocals and the band seem off as well. Normally really energetic songs like Mi Vida Loca sound dull, drug out and boring. Don't be fooled by the amount of songs either. 3 of the songs are a medley and only portions of them are played. If Pam is wanting to get back in the spotlight and give her fans something worthwile, she needs to do MUCH better than this!
