Do not waste your $ or time
I bought this vacuum after having several vacuums in the last 9 years. Nothing every seems to hold up very long. I picked this one because I liked the on board tools that it came with and the price. What a big mistake. I put it together which took about 20 to 30 mins. Turned it on and vacuumed the house. Didn't seem all that great took the hose out to do the furniture and all the dog hair and stuff that was on the floor was stuck in the hose. The hose would not suck anything up. After I was done I realized that it was just blowing the dog hair and dust all over the house. I had to clean my whole kitchen and dust all my tables. I just hope Target will return it after putting it together and useing it. Do not waste you money or time with this.

2nd Kindle for My Wife
This is the 2nd Kindle in out house. My wife got me one last Sept. and I love it. I let her read a few books on it and she also loved reading on it so I decided to get her one of her own. They are both under my account so we can share books. The free book selection on Amazon is great. The device is easy to use and a joy to used to read a book. I have read more books since I got it than I did in the previous 2 years. One reason is because I can take it anywhere. So any time I have a few free minutes I can take it out and read a few pages. My wife says I should try to get Amazon to give me a referral fee with the way I talk about it to friends and family. We Love ours. Is the Kindle right for you? I don't know, but I can tell you that the Kindle is right for me and my family.

Nice Timbre, Well Balanced voice, Dramatic, but.....
Denyce Graves has a lot of potential in this Album "Voce Di Donna". These are some of the most interesting Operas of it's time. They have stood the test of time. And such emotional airas as from Vanessa's Opera, when she sings the role of Erika in "Must the winter come so soon" is something. But other songs as I noticed in "Acerba Volutta" When she comes to substaining the high A6 note, she sounds as though she had to push her voice a little. And the same in "O mio Fernando" The A6 sounds more pushed at the end. In "Pres des remparts de Seville", the B6 sounds somewhat thin, but otherwise, she performs it very well. Denyce Graves has a lot of potential, but she should perform airas and in Operas as to her vocal comfort. Pushing the voice often isn't a good thing, as can lead to vocal Crisis. But nontheless, this is a good Opera Album. I can't wait till she puts out another CD.

Womb envy????
The entire book is outrageous nonsense. Womb envy???? Men are envious of women because men cannot have babies? And so men have to take revenge for this?? If this isn't lunacy then I don't know what is. For God's sake! Find me ANY man anywhere----say at a shopping center-----who burns with envy and hate because a pregnant woman walks by! The man gets to plant the seed while the woman has to carry the heavy baby for 9 months, suffer morning sickness, the pains of labor, and constant care for the infant! Isnt she the lucky one!!!(...)Perhaps McElvaine now will write a book proving that child abuse is due to "child envy"-----children are free to play while adults have to work. So adults are envious of children and have to put children in their place. There you have it! The explanation for child abuse.There is no end to the nonsense! And to think this man actually "teaches" in a college!!!!!!

Murphy's Romance Review and Music Question
I actually went to the movies to see this folks! I enjoyed it throughly. At first I said here we go again... older man,younger woman but as I watched the movie and got into the plot, I could understand how something like that happens. I have always liked Sally Field and James Garner. It is a wonderful movie, a good love story, and well acted. One night last week, I happened to catch the end of this movie on TV and was reminded of how much I like the music. Not just the song sung by Carol King, but the instrumental part too. I will never understand why this kind of music is so hard to find. I am also having a hard time finding the instrumental piece used in Gumpy Old Men. Why is this so difficult? If anyone knows where I could get the music outside of copying it from the movie I would be so greatful.

how to install easily with latch
I saw many negative reviews about instalations our with latch. And I would like to share my knowlegde with those who are struggling. That will be helpful for any carseat. I install face forward. In order to get your carseat tight, you must put one knee on the seat, with a help of elbow push down head part of the carseat and pull latch tight. You will be suprise how sturdy it will hold. I fould it out watching oficcial FAA video how to install carseat on a plane and tried it in a car. Before I was dissapointed with that seat and thought that latch does not hold seat on place. But when i tried trick mentioned above - carseat became a solid part of the car. 4 stars because it really does not recline enough! But othewise I think it is a good seat. Oh, yes. If using on a plane unscrew hand rest and leave at home.

Fun, A Real Page Turner but Not the Ending I Expected
I'm new to Paul Auster's brand of literature. I started with Timbuktu which I thought was brilliantly written. The Brookyn Follies takes the reader on one helluva of ride that is supposedly the main characters last hurrah in life. The story lines are fast and furious. You name the subject, this book has got it -- sex, cults, murder, homosexuals. I've gotta give Mr. Auster credit. He kept me interested until the very end. Maybe I missed it but without spoiling it -- I was disappointed with the ending. If you are looking for something different to read -- I highly recommend this book and all of Paul Austers novels. He writes no other. His creativity and imagination are unbelievable.

Why?
What is the purpose of this set? These 3 albums have already re-released and remastered on a CD called "Here I Go Again - Best Of" or something like that. I didn't buy it so I don't remember the full title. Where are the bonus tracks and stuff die hard fans want. Think about who is buying this. Geffen must really need some cash flow. I assume Mr. Coverdale didn't have much to do with this so I won't blame him. EMI needs to step up to the plate and re-release "Trouble" with bonus live tracks or how about a bonus DVD. Fans of the old Whitesnake will snag in a heartbeat. Also, there is not one official DVD from Whitesnake. I know there's one coming out filmed last year or whatever but how about some old classic footage! Use "The Early Years" DVD by Iron Maiden as a guide. They are a band who do not disappoint their fans and I respect them for that.

Not recommended
I just received the La Crosse temperature station. I was shocked on the size. very small not to sure if I could read the numbers. Cheap plastic on the display model. I can't believe that this list for $36.95. By looking at the model I would say that a person spent at the MOST $5.00. I bought these all for gifts and will be returning all 4 of them. I have a different indoor outdoor wireless temperature station and love it! My display is 4 times bigger and the quality there's no comparison. I am just to embarrassed to give this as a gift. You need to pay attention to the dimension of this item.

Best phone I have ever used
I live in an area where phone reception is horrible. Although there are pros and cons with this phone, the majority are pros:Pros:1. Out of all the cell phones my family and I have used, this one takes the shortest time to connect as well2. Clarity with every conversation3. Numerous amount of features.4. aesthetics5. battery life is longCons:1. like most phones and services, accessories and fees for extra services (i.e. for verizon the V-cast feature is aprox $15)2. The camera is good for about a 1.0MP but the zoom blurs once you reach the max 4x.3. It is rumored that after a few years, the screen blinks. This is TBD and I personally have not heard of any other technical error(s).In general if you take good care of the phone, the phone should work.

Dither review
As reviewer Coopsam said, Moe. has definitely reinvented their sound to a degree with Dither. It is great for first time Moe. listeners or fans that have enjoyed their previous albums. Moe. combines complex musical pieces with great lyrical tunes on this album. A couple songs were on the live album (Captain America and Can't Seem to Find) and really gained maturity in the studio. Faker, NYC, and Tamborine have great melodies and Moe. keeps their traditional sound without sounding to poppy. TGORM and In a Big Country have really great tunes to them as well. I think this album is Moe.'s best studio effort up to date. I was really impressed with Tin Cans and Car Tires, but I can't wait to see Moe. perform the songs off Dither live. Both old and new Moe. fans are sure to love this album.

Crow's Debut
Tuesday Night Music Club is a solid debut effort by Sheryl Crow. Ms. Crow's greatest asset is her strong and expressive voice. She uses it to effectively convey the emotions from her songs. Her songwriting is solid, but sometimes she goes a bit over the top in trying to be deep or relevant. The album opens up with a bluesy "Run Baby Run" and then moves into the best song on the album "Leaving Las Vegas". The song has a chunky beat and the first person lyrics give the song a real personal sense. "Strong Enough" is another great song with Ms. Crow laying down a challenge to a man. "Can't Cry Anymore" has a good riff and "The Na-Na Song" is done in a Dylanesque style. "All I Wanna Do" was the song that made her a star. It has an instantly recognizable guitar riff and a day in the life lyrics that you can't get out of your head. The song went on to win the 1994 Grammy for Record of the Year and established the former Michael Jackson backup singer as a force on the music scene.

Don't Be A Critic!
I've heard enough of the critics opinions. I finally decided to give my own. R Kelly is in one word, "Talented." I love to listen to his music. He, in my opinion, is the most talented R&B vocal artist ever, and I'm sure that many would agree. I've never listened to an R Kelly song that i've disliked. Many people are against him nowadays because of the things that were said to be done by him but not yet proven. But even if they are proven, who are "you all" to judge someone. I thought that was God's job. R Kelly's music has been hot from his beggining. Let us all remember that we all make mistakes and none of us are perfect. If R Kelly has made a mistake, don't put his music down because of it, because his music has nothing to do with it. His music is still hot. Thats my opinion. ~[]D [] []v[] []D~

YOU MUST GET THIS CD!
This is a great project from beginning to end. All of the cuts are good. I'ts very rare to find a gospel cd w/different styles all on one cd. The combination between Asaph Ward & Londa is a perfect fit. I hope to hear more from this singer. "Hold On" is a strong one. "He's Alright" is off the chain! By the time she gets through w/that one you will believe it! "He lives" is just a groove that you will play over & over. "Better Days" has a little "Janet" sound going on there. (I hope I don't offend anyone for saying that) I like it. I love the whole cd.God bless you Londa.

40 oz - black: Great water bottle!
I love these bottles. I've owned the 40 oz black bottle with the poly loop cap for about six months. I keep it at work and use it every day. My coworkers love its sleek look; I get quite a few "Wow, that's a cool looking bottle!" comments. Besides that, the water tastes great, no metallic taste at all.These bottles will dent fairly easily, but at least there aren't any interior epoxy coatings to worry about cracking. The paint on the bottom did wear off with frequent use (you can get the plain steel one if you worry about that). The poly loop cap can be difficult to open if you tighten it enough to keep it from leaking. It does sweat a lot with cold beverages, as most bottles do. None of these things bothered me except the cap being too tight.Overall, it's a great bottle, and I bought an extra one to keep at home. It makes it convenient and easy for me to have my 8+ glasses of water a day with two trips to the sink instead of 10.

VERY pleased
I started having problems with adult onset acne at about age 25 - am now 40. Have tried everything - oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, retin-a, etc. etc. Despite trying numerous dermatologists, I never got what I considered good results - just a three minute visit and a couple of scripts. Decided to try this - at the price, nothing to lose. Man am I pleased. For the first time, acne is resolved (I have used the peel once a week for about six weeks). My scarring is improved and my skin tone is becoming much more even. Even improving my melasma. I would highly recommend this product. Word of caution. Acne will worsen after the first treatment - wait it out - it will improve Dramatically.

Wand extention does the job
I have green mold that grows on the high side of my house. The only way I could power wash it before was by using my extension ladder that is a pain in the ### to get out and raise. I found with the wand extension and step ladder I was able reach high enough to clean that side of the house. It is definately worth getting this if you have a high spot you need to reach. The unit is sturdy enough but it is slightly harder to control the spray than if your using the wand by itself. The unit doesn't come with instructions and at first I couldn't figure out how it mounted. I didn't realize the wand is in 2 pieces. You push down on the nozzle end and rotate it a quarter turn to separate it from the handle end. The one end of the extension is pressed and turned to lock in the handle end.

"Lost" in Space
It seems like Will Smith just can't do it right. After a couple of good albums early in his career with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Will went soft according to his critics. He's trying to be a little harder now, and he's catching some flak for that. It seems like he'd get the picture . . . He's not good! On Lost and Found, Smith loses himself in attempting to sound like other rappers who have dissed him and who he has tried to diss. A couple of song on this album would make decent party songs at a middle school dance and possibly not lead the kids to dance like skanks, so that's good. Some of his lyrics are ok, but his voice and attitude just aren't suited to them. It's time for Will to move on and focus on his success in other areas.

PLZ READ!!!!!
Hush is about a family living in Denver. The father of the family is a cop. Who has two daughters and a wife. While on his job he witnesses a crime in which two white cops murderd a black boy. He testified on the case braking the "blue wall of silence". Which is a pack where cops look after each other. During the night the Witness Protection comes and takes the family to their new house and that's where they start their new life. After reading this novel I thought that it was a very Dramstic book and it was pretty easy to read. It has lots of great description, like in the beginning I can smell the mother cooking and see the characters very well, its like they are painted in your mind. I think you should read this book if your are in the 6th grade and up because of senstive content and violence. I also think that Jacquline Woodson did a great job on this book. Read Hush if you are into drama and like to read books where the characters change.

This is pathetic
I am not trying to be mean but: If you don't like myscene stop coming here. And if we don't like bratz then us stop going to your place. Is that so hard? No need for cussing. Such dirty mouths. Sorry, I just had to say this: Oh my goodness you are fighting over dolls. We each have our own oppinions and should stay with the dolls we like.*Peace guys*. So please stop cussing what if a five year old saw this? Wouldn't that be horrible!!

This book saved my life! I have been an obsessive dieter since the age of 12. By the time I was 14 I was 90 pounds at 5'3", but it wasn't anorexia, just obsessive dieting. Anorexia is more than just a crash diet. Anyway, I didn't get to 90 easily. I was starving, then bingeing, then starving, then bingeing, etc. Somehow I managed to starve more than I binged, and I slowly lost weight. Unfortunately, the book explains that my fat cells were steadily expanding. I know what the author says about fat cells never dissapearing through a diet is true. Even when I was 90 pounds, I still had 23% body fat, maybe more. The average for a woman is like 20%. Then I gained all the weight back. Then I dieted again. Then I gained, then dieted, etc., etc. Well, thanks to this book I am less fat, more muscle, and a really fast runner, too! I reccommend this book to every woman who can't figure out why her thighs keep getting bigger though she's been eating nothing but carrots for a month.

Needs a Flash!
My daughter recv'd this camera set as a Christmas gift. She was so excited. It is a very cute girly camera. BUT...it is a manual 35mm camera, which means you have to have to manually rewind the film when the pictures have all been taken. It was annoying. My daughter had a blast taking all of her "own" photos. The camera does not have a flash. We took them in for development...and to our disapointment...they were all dark. We couldn't even make out who the people were! WASTE of money!!! I know the camera is cheap...but film and developing are not. Buy a REAL camera w/ a flash for REAL pictures.

Can you say "guilty pleasure?"
There plenty of movies that I consider guilty pleasures. There's the Ernest P. Worrell movies, there's the first Mortal Kombat movie, there's the '76 King Kong remake.....and there's this.Hudson Hawk was critically panned at the time of its release, and soon it won three Razzies: Worst Director, Screenplay, and Picture of 1991. It's been neglected ever since people called it one of the worst movies ever made. But IS it one of the worst movies ever made? Well, compared to most movies that have been released in the new millennium (like Catwoman and Alone in the Dark), it shouldn't be. Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it's over the top. But hey, that's why I love it. I love the ridiculous humor, and I love the action. It does hold up pretty well, in my opinion. I respect critics' opinions about this movie, but personally, I can't help but enjoy it from beginning to end. This is one guilty pleasure that I will NEVER forget!Grade: B

Too much - too little
I hover between praise and criticism for the Memory Keeper's Daughter. Praise for Edwards for using her talents to focus on this very loaded subject. Praise for the public for wanting to read about something which is easier ignored. Praise for Edwards' prose and visually descriptive passages.My crticism is that the author tries to manage too much in this book. The secrets. The feelings. The real lives. None of these ever actually integrate. We glimpse pieces of each character, but never really get "in". Its as if Edwards tries to give each character equal weight and all wind up weightless. Too many protaganists here. Too many events. The characters get lost in the traffic.That said, It did keep me turning the pages, and I did find myself crying in spots. Still, I wonder...

Great until you have to refil it.
It was a little hard to figure out at first, and not something to do one handed, but seemed to keep in the smell of the newborn diapers. We were happy with it (bought it used...with the bag in it).Then we had to refil it. Very tricky. Each time got trickier--there's this ring that's supposed to fit into the diaper refill. Well, it doesn't--every time I've had to force it. Forcing it caused little bends in the ring that made it fit worst. The time before last that I changed it I actually cut my hand on it (and it's plastic). Then this last time trying to force the dang thing on I finally broke the Genie--it won't close now.It doesn't keep the stench in on older baby diapers that well anyways. Every time you twist it a little cloud of stench comes up, and when you change it better take it outside first. I'm sick of it. I'm going to try something else.

worst buy ever
This is one of the worst down comforter I have ever seen. It looks good when you buy it. But when i started using it it was nothing that I expected from a down comforter. It surface becomes cold and remains cold. That may because of the polyster. I had to take the fleece shawl between comforter and me. Also the down has started coming out within one week. So when ever I sleep with sweater on, next day morning my sweater is all white with down. I thought it must be from the factory so i washed as per the instructions and still it is the same. The stiching is of really poor quality and down keeps coming out. Its a cheap product with cheap quality. If you need a good down comforter buy a good one from famous outlets.

Works fast and tones well!
As a child I dreamed of being a ballerina. Dancing across a field of flowers or standing with perfect posture. Yes, I do feel taller after each session. I am already tall enough but being taller makes you look thinner. Why do we women wear high heels? Case Closed! The plan is to do these exercises so precisely that you don't need to spend all day at a gym. I find these videos to be up there in the top 10 of my collection. Yes, working out does take motivation and an hour may seem long until you look at yourself in the mirror and see the new you and it is worth the effort. Believe me, I am no where near perfect but I do have goals. If you are tired of loud music, bouncy exercises and annoying instructors (as I am), add this to your collection. You will feel like a dancer and may start to look like one too.~The Rebecca Review

Not as good as Space Invaders on the Atari 2600
Not as good as Space Invaders on the Atari 2600Not as good as Space Invaders on the Atari 2600, but to play fair Space Invaders is an all time true classic, where as ATV Off Road is far from being a classic, ATV is light-years away from being a true classic. Sony's ATV Off Road for the PSP is way way below average; it is right down near the bottom of the pit of trash games. Words fail me in attempting to come close to describing just how boring, monotonous, un thought about ATV really is. Did anyone actually bother to put an ounce thought into the game? I think not!!!Ok, so ATV is not original, ok we could forgive the game if it took old ideas and did them well. But no, ATV takes old ideas and pulls them off with all the grace of an elephant on ice skates. The response of the controls that connect the PSP to the ATVs left me numb and frustrated. ATV is absolute! $"$"R$"$$^%$%^%^$%!!!!!Nice picture on the box.

A must read for ANY X-Men fan......BUT......
I just received the Marvel Encyclopedia:X-Men book and i have read it from cover to cover already. VERY informative, good layout, great artwork. There ARE a few details missing from this book which i find slightly confusing. There is the omission of 2 X-teams by NAME from this book. They are X-Force and X-Factor. Now they are ALLUDED to frequently in it but to not come out and NAME them is odd to me. Also...there is a SPECIAL character omitted from the book. To be honest he IS mentioned...JUST ONCE...in it but there is no sort of biography on him. That person is Wade Wilson, AKA "the merc with a mouth", DEADPOOL. HOW on God's Green Earth can DEADPOOL be omitted from this book? I HOPE it was just an oversight on the authors. OTHERWISE....I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Worked for a few weeks, then died on me beyond repair.
I am a design student and bought this tablet for its excellent price. I read many reviews and they said it was good so I gave it a try. I regret it. I used it for a few weeks, nothing out of the ordinary happened. I had some pressure problems in Photoshop, but I fixed it soon enough. Then out of the blue, it stopped working! I tried everything.My brother bought a computer afterwards. Windows 7 didn't fix anything. I put the tablet away. A few months later I bought an iMac, and I tried there too. Nothing worked! The light just blinks and it does nothing else. I downloaded drivers, followed endless tutorials, used the CD it brought.I'm not saying it's a bad tablet, it's a troublesome tablet.Hope this saves some of you from spending [...] bucks on something that turn into a fossil.

The sellouts turn their backs on their fans
I will admit it. I was incredible excited about the new KoRn album, then when i got it, i was the most dissapointed after any album i'd ever bought. What really makes me sick is that they turned their backs on their true fans to go for more money and fame. KoRn was my ultimate favorite band, not anymore. Their sound completely changed to techno stuff with all these artificial sounds. The only people who will like Issues are either posers or "fans" who just became KoRn fans because they saw ads for them. KoRn totally sold out. The only reason I'm even giving them the one star is because I have to. I'm ashamed with KoRn. Other things they've done outside the album is playing at Jingle Ball 99 with bands like brittney spears, nsync, and backstreet boys, and they are supposed to be metal? The bottom line is, if you are a true KoRn fan, who's liked them before you ever heard of this album, DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM.

Works well, too many clicks
Years ago, I bought a fat monitoring scale, and am thrilled with the idea of seeing what my body fat percentage is. Traveling was a problem because the scale was too cumbersome to take with me. This device fits easily into luggage, and as long as my destination includes a scale, I'm set. The only problem I have with the device is in the number of clicks for a single use. 1 Turn device on. 2 Tell it I'm user #1. 3 Confirm that my height is the same it was last time. 4 Confirm that my gender is the same as it was last time. 5 Confirm that my age is the same as it was last time. 6+ As many clicks as necessary to adjust my weight by half-pound increments since last time. 7 press the Start button. Considering that height, gender, and age change very slowly over one's lifetime and weight is changing constantly, I would have preferred if they ask for the weight first.

Expect a new release from Kardie in a few months or so.......Konvict Music?
Kardie has a few big tunes on here still. My personal favorite is "feel alright". I've seen what other people be saying about how this album from kardie aint good enough and i agree. Kardie did release Firestarter Vol. 1 (sick album) back in 2001 and Kill Bloodclot Bill mixtape in 2004 but people were waiting for vol 2 or any second album for him to drop. I know what most of u are sayin...this is it? but the truth is that this was released only in Canada unlike the Firestarter Vol. 1 sold under MCA. But not to worry....cuz i am pleased to say that Kardie finally has a good record deal with Konvict Music after Akon signed him this month. I am expecting big things from Kardie's next release and in case anyone wanted to know Konvict Music only has three artists...Akon T-Pain and now Kardinal Offishall!!

Looks pretty but only worked for 2 months
I purchased this kettle for my mother who used it for months and loved it. She had no problems with smells or deposits and she uses it every day. When I visited her, she told me how much she loves using it. When I used the kettle, I found it to be quite wonderful too. Later, I purchased this kettle for my home. It worked great for the first two months. We use filtered water so there were no deposits or bad smells either. For no discernible reason, the heating element just stopped working. I called Capresso. Without the sales receipt there is nothing they could do for me. I did not keep the sales receipt and therefore can't prove the date of purchase. While I liked the looks of the clear carafe, I replaced this kettle with another brand.

Do not use this vendor
Boy, when things go wrong, they go really wrong. Instead of 2mb of memory, I received a cheap 1gb flash drive. No problem. I e-mailed PC Universe with the error. Then there began a 1-month back and forth e-mail cluster. They could not find the order. They wanted me to return the FLASH DRIVE, so as to send me another one, (unless it was broken in which I was responsible for paying for a new one). They could not find my order again. They said they would take back the wrong merchandise, and did "I still want the correct one". They said I had to send the old one back and they would refund my order. I could reorder if I still wanted the new merchandise. Then they issued me a call tag # for UPS to pick up the wrong item. (UPS had no record of the call #. They said that the call # was not UPS but Fed-Ex, but the # was expired. Still trying to get a refund.Finally ordered a new kit from another supply house. Had the correct memory in 2 days.

Blue Is French for Boring.
Viewed: 8/12Rate: 18/12: Let's do some word play. Take the word Blue. What word is a homophone of Blue? It is Blew. Then, it is in the past tense of Blow. What rhymes with Blow? Of course, it is Slow. Blue is Slow. Let me save you the suspense: nothing ever happens in the film. Absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch. Zippo. "Mysterious...Sexy!" *yawn* sure...

Good, But Not Great
Soul Calibur 2 is i good fighting game. It has little flaws and can be a great time killer. But after the first few weeks of playing it, I started to lose interest. Weapon Master mode seemed great at first but became tedious after the first 10 or 11 missions. Doungions can become agravating, this is because they throw the same character at you in every section, not in all doungions but a select few. Playing under certain circumstances they give you can be difficult to perform especially with certain characters. Placing mines and such on the floor is an "ok" idea if it didn't only affect you and not your opponents. Weapon Master is also very short. Arcade mode is fun the first couple of times to beat, but after youve beaten it 5 times or so it becomes pointless. Soul Calibur however has amazing graphics and music. Overall it is a good rental game but not worth 50 bucks.

This One Rates a Minus Ten
This is a colossal waste of money. There is no possible way a sane human being can sit through this crashing bore of a DVD without falling asleep. Nothing happens; none of the material is presented in context; the ersatz lessons make no pedagogical sense.First, there's a voice rapid-firing the alphabet. Too bad for you if you can't follow it--especially the Russian. Then the voice moves on to present and past conjugations of "to have" and "to be." Again, tough luck if you aren't linguistically buff enough to keep up. There are no pictures. There are no conversations, no grammar explanations, no graphics, and no way to extend the lists of words and expressions into real-life situations. One hears nothing but that voice and sees nothing except that white-on-black print.Why put this blah-blah-blah on an expensive DVD? To get your money, that's why. Don't say you haven't been warned. If only the ratings allowed minus stars, this would come in at an easy minus ten.

The best ever!
I have been playing brass instruments from tuba to trumpet since 1973. I am also a band director and get supplied with samples from many different companies. As you can imagine, I have tried MANY different types. This is the BEST valve oil I've used and I didn't even know it originally. I originally dismissed Alisyn simply because I had some "favorites" that I used instead of even trying Alisyn.However, I had an old student model Conn trumpet that I basically thought of as a "throw away". I cleaned it up but didn't need it any more and purely by "accident" lubed it with Alisyn. I put it in the attic (no heat or air-conditioning) and forgot about it for 8 YEARS!!I had a student that really needed a horn and I just happened to stumble across this old trumpet in the attic. I took it out of the case expecting it to be ruined (as it should have been) but instead the valves worked BETTER than I remembered and the horn played awesome! I couldn't believe my ears. A++ for Alisyn!

Behavioral patterns of pioneers
It goes without saying that for decades, centuries in fact, society has been patriarchal. Man ruled over woman. What he said was law. This held true for the pre- and post emigrating years along the trail.Dr. Faragher's effort is a righteous work of how families coexisted both before and during these times. It was a working relationship. Meaningful romance and a companionate marriage took a back seat.The overload of this fine book is the redundant "woman good, man bad" theme. We are well aware of the hardships women endured during the nineteenth century by performing nearly every task at hand. She was a super human. No social life, just plain hard work all the time.We are also aware that man was responsible for the "other" duties both on the farm and while traveling the trail. This was life back then, and though times have changed for the better, there is still room for improvement between the sexes.

This book was absolutely TERRIBLE!
I cannot express my disappointment enough. This book was a required buy for my SAIT college class... what a waste. A few chapters into the book I began to question the authors' understanding of the subject. Their writting technique is bizarre to. For instance; they mention a new accronym but don't define it until the next page. In some cases the accronym isn't even defined in the book. I swear the authors made up some accronyms because they're not listed on whatis.com.The number one thing that told me this book sucked was the section devoted to comparing an OOUI to a GUI. ...OOUI...is an Object Oriented User Interface. Oh, wait a sec, that would be a GUI wouldn't it!? OOUI is a neologism folks.The list goes on. The author thinks that a client must have a GUI in order to be a client. Go to DOS and type 'ftp'. Hey look, I'm using FTP but I'm not a client. Wow. ... DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

Great phone, but has some drawbacks.
I have the Alltel version of the 755p. This was my choice after years of using Palm's PDA devices. It can be a lifesaver -- or the source of headaches. It's great not having to carry a PDA, phone and lockbox key. This one device covers all three, and also plays mp3s. However -- the battery dies very quickly even though I stopped all programs from automatically updating (weather, email, etc). The phone must be plugged in every day or the battery dies. What good is a phone with all these features if the battery won't last a day? Also, Alltel does not support MMS (picture messages) on this phone. But other carriers do. I was not happy when I discovered this -- after I purchased the phone, and needed to send a picture to another phone.

4.4 STARS!
I love this book! I checked it out of the library but I'm planning on purchaseing it soon. So many great tips and everything is explained so nicely. I love Iman's voice in it too. She's sweet and funny and is open-minded about how there are rules in applying make-up but no rules! Allow yourself to be creative! The only reason I'm not giving it a five star is because no book is perfect and also because I didn't see one picture of a woman with the same shade of skin as mine. I have a unique color. Not dark brown but not light tan. So, I was in between a lot with the advice on what colors to purchase. Plus, it didn't help that women like Vanessa Williams and Halle Berry are in it claiming to be African-American (black pride) but we all KNOW that they wouldn't look like that if they weren't biracial. Yea, your black with blue eyes?! Let me not go there....two points for Alicia Keys who said she is biracial. Anyway, enjoy and don't forget to have fun!

Lens Cleansing Wipes
These lens-cleansing wipes are the greatest invention. I couldn't do without them. They aresanitary (individually wrapped). They are the perfect right size. They have the perfect amount of moisture to clean the glasses, but then it self-dries. They are perfectly made for glasses, lenses, etc., and will not scratch. (Never use tissue on glasses, as that will scratch them.) They do a perfect job on cleaning the glasses. They are small and convenient. I leave some at home, and take some to work.They are not only good for eye glasses, but also good for CDs, computer screens, camera lenses, etc.Perfect for everybody. Even if you don't wear glasses, everybody either has a computer screen, some CDs, and/or a camera lens.

Close to perfect portable saw
This saw is made in Taiwan, not China. There IS a difference, called quality. It was packed very carefully and well. I had no problems putting together the stand and then mounting the saw on it. Very clear and easy to understand directions. Took about 25 minutes. It is very high quality. I had just one problem-setting the saw arbor parallel to the miter slot. It was off. You must do this to avoid kickback. It took me an hour to finally get the arbor parallel. Once that was done, it was time to go to work. It did great on plywood, oak and ash, both ripping and crosscut. The rip fence was a big surprise-its parallel to the blade and its rugged. This is not a stationary heavy weight saw. Its made to be portable and even has a dust chute that gets about 90% of the chips-not bad. Get a vacuum hook-up or the bag they sell for it. The folding table adjustment is awesome. If not for the parallel problem, this saw would get 5 stars.

What book did these guys read?
I think that this book is total trash! There are so many mistakes in this book, and even more information that is needed for the exam that is missing. I used this book as my only material for studying for the exam, and I passed with the lowest possible passing score. To let everyone know, I do not have a lot of hands on networking experience. I have a bachelors in computer information systems, and have taken a few networking classes. The questions provided along with this book are a joke. If you are lucky about 10% of the questions on the exam will be as easy as the ones in this book. Several of the questions on the exam were never addressed in the book. An example of an actual test question would like: Out of the following fiber technologies, which technology uses a 2000nm beam? This is not the exact question, but its close. Good luck finding info anywhere near this in this book.

I waited all this time for THIS!!!!!!!!!
I am a huge comic book fan and the Punisher is one of my all time favorite characters. I even have his first comic-Spider-Man number 129. There have been a string of comic book character-movies lately that I have despised(Daredevil, Batman and ROBIN,etc).I had high hopes for this film because of the great casting job. However, I was very dissapointed! The Punisher's family is killed and he is having dinner with fatboy and monkey spanker dave. and then he is transporting fire hydrants around time and playing Mcguyver to get Howard Saint to kill his gay colleague. I expected this film to stay true to the comic and be entertaining. There most not nearly as much action , violence, and killing by guns. But, this film made the 1989 Dolph Lungren version of "the Punisher" look like Citizen Kane. I snuck into Kill Bill vol.2 for free after this crappy movie just to forgot that I had seen it. Way to go, ARTISAN!sellouts

Stephen is da MAN!
Hello all! I just have to write a little something to say that cd is a treasured item in any home! It is vital to the soul that everyone must buy this cd! Next to my Yanni cd this has to be the funniest cd of comical music ever! All the songs are classics that you can sing along wiht your mom and dad and pet rat next to the fire while drinking some warm cocoa! MMMMMMMMMMMM! To be honest....I adore this cd. Stephen is really a funny dude and really cool! I've seen him live like 20 times (and just seeing that face alone would make you buy the cd!)! All the songs are great and sometimes you can't help with hum "Gerbil" or try your best Walken impression! I do have to thank Stephen for putting "Tall Glass O' Water" on his cd! That is the most awesome song ever! You rock Stephen!

Are You Turkish? Well, yes I am!
Am I the only Turk who has reviewed this film? I surely hope not. It has taken me ages to finally rent this. I am extremely depressed right now but it was well worth it. Please, don't classify this as a German movie. Let this be a Turkish movie. It was nicely done, a bit predictable at times but no big deal. The acting was above expectations. As for the story line, believable enough. I found it ironic that the heroine Sibel needs to marry a Turkish guy in order to get peace from her family according to the plot (which is very believable, mind you) but that in reality she used to be a porn star before this film.As a minor negative, the Turkish being spoken was whiny and got on my nerves quite a bit. To their defense, I have been away from my precious homeland for almost 10 years now and for all I know, this could be the way modern Turkish is being spoken right now.

I Preferred Her Not Gay
I watched this show religiously for the first 3 years. Then when she announced being a lesbian in season four, I, as a gay man, said "Ok, Ellen, we get it...you're a lesbian...enough already." Sorry, but seasons one through three are gems. Seasons four and five, she lost it. The charm was gone. It was hammer time with lesbian this and lesbian that. I know it was a milestone in TV history. I will give her credit for that and Ellen, I love you for that. But did you have to embarrass us, your gay fans, every week during season four and five with the constant reminder? I liked the first three seasons. They were beautifully written and very funny. Seasons four and five could have been funny if we were not bombarded with the constant reminder of sexual preference. But this season, season one, yes, get it and laugh...a lot!!!

Good solid Mp3 harddrive/Player
Been using this for a week, and it smokes. Bought it for my car. Any cassette to 1/8 jack will work. It is easy to understand and navigate. Like most men, I did not read the directions and started playing with the buttons and it made absolute sense. If you have windows ME or above, no drivers required just plug it in and A instant drive letter appears. Use the sendto from your right click (that is the easiest way to copy songs to the drive) The headpone design is perfect, although with many other players, it is not the best sounding but pretty good. I'm picky about my sound so a eq would have been nice, but did well without it. And comes with nice pouch to put the player in. Battery life 6 to 8 hours. Very nice.

Buy this!
I rented this game when it first came out because it looked cute. I was hoping it might be a little like Spyro and it is! I loved it so much I bought it. I really wish that they had made a strategy guide though, because just like the Spyro games, it's important to collect everything!! There are hidden pictures, red gems, etc. Plenty of mini-games to make things fun and interesting. Having it be beatable but not too easy was a plus and I really hope they make a TY 2! If you like Spyro, you will like this! The FIRST game since Spyro I have loved. I don't know why the reviews weren't very good though. Better game than Jak,Ratchett, and Sly Cooper. <sigh>

Fell in love with this series..........
My first ever Eve Duncan series... and I fell in love. After reading this book, I absolutely had to collect ALL of her books. Iris Johansen did an amazing job with these books. Each one I have read, I've fallen in love with, and can read again and again and again. The twists, the surprises, the mysteries, the unexpected moments, I love them all... I have a habit of falling asleep while reading, but NOT with this series... I just couldn't put the book down. Read EVERYWHERE and EVERY chance I had. Can wait to finish reading her other books in the Eve Duncan saga!!! I must have every single one of them!!! :)And that Joe Quinn character, man, the kinda guy I imagine him to be, would love to meet him in person! LOL....

Happiness is a Jill Scott CD
With all the junk out there that's being called music, it is so refreshing to have a cd like Beautifully Human. This is the feel good cd of the year. When I first heard Golden on the radio ,I went on a desparate search for the single. You see I am from the 45 generation. I counted the days until the cd dropped. I think every one on my Christmas list is going to get this if they don't already have it. This ranks up there with Songs in the Key of Life. If MS. Scott doesn't clean up at the Grammy's next time, something is terribly wrong in this industry. They dissed her first CD. Anyway, I love you Jill and I thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with us. God bless.

Not worth the money
If you are preparing for the developer exam this is not the book to buy. I just took the exam and out of 25 chapters in the book, I would say that it references maybe half of them. The sample questions are very misleading also. In fact that is my biggest complaint. They are extremely easy, but when you take the test your mouth will just hang. The first thing in your head will be "This isn't anything like what I was encouraged to study." I would compare it to asking someone to add 2+2=4 and then saying okay now on the test due physics word problems(and I took and passed quantum mechanics in college). If you want to pass the exam you need to learn all the obscure things that never get used in flash and I mean everything.As far as for learning flash, this book isn't worth the paper it was printed on. That doesn't bother me though because it was meant to be a study guide for the exam. It just doesn't do that. In fact the only thing it does is cost you money. It will not help you.

Subtlety and sensitivity in some truly memorable poems
A review of Almost Unseen by Caroline Gourlay in Blithe Spirit: Journal of the British Haiku Society, December 2000, Volume 10, No. 4, pp. 54-55.Of the better known haiku poets. George Swede is probably the one whose haiku are most instantly recognisable. He has made the study of human behaviour his own territory, exploring its complexities and contradictions with subtlety and sensitivity in some truly memorable poems. . . . George Swede is never dull. Why is he so compelling and entertaining? Partly, no doubt, because his haiku tell us about ourselves (and we're all interested in how we tick) but mainly because he does it with a skill that gets to the heart of the matter without superfluous words.

The kids love this new series
My kids were so disappointed after finishing the Last Air Bender. They love this new series. From the start, it is fun and the humor appeals to the kids. I find myself laughing along with them too. Korra is the Avatar but she still haven't mastered air bending. She followed Master Tenzin to Republic City hoping to master the last element. In this episode, we see her first training session with Master Tenzin. We also get a glimpse into a new movement to rid the city of all benders. Korra met up with two brothers who are competing in a pro-bending game. I like that they kept the same look and feel to this animation. I have my DVR set to record every Saturday on Nick. But I will buy the episodes from Amazon. The kids love watching it over and over again on the Kindle Fire.

The BEST pillow EVER!!
I have had this pillow for over a year and I love it. I wanted something that would last longer than the standard pillows I kept replacing which lost its shape over time. This one never loses it's shape. It firm enough, but the weight of your head does make it go down slightly and provides very good support. I was scared that I was going to wake up with a stiff neck the first week. I love putting my head down to sleep on this pillow every nite. It's dreamy...hahah.. Someone described it as springy. Yes, but it's not like your head bounces on it. It's just good firm support. Do not expect your head to be lost in squishiness/fluffiness. It's just good support. I LOVE IT and recommend it to anyone trying to make the jump from the standard pillow to a latex foam pillow! :)I paid $31.99 during a "lightning deal".

Saved me from marrying the wrong man!
This might not be the most profound review, but the result of reading this book is! The check list on page 22 (I think) just blew me away. I couldn't believe she put into words so exact what I have been feeling and going through. I'm not crazy!!!Being an intelligent woman who has learned "so much" about relationships and yada yada... I have been so confused and doubting my own sanity to the point of severe depression. I mean, he never calls me names like so many websites insist has to happen for a person to be abusive. He doesn't hit me. And everyone says what an easygoing lax person he is and they can't imagine him having an anger problem. HA!!!If your getting this book for someone and they don't want to read it, see if maybe they would be willing to just read that check list.

A Closing Chapter
This is Phil Collins'second time up as Genesis' lead vocalist and the group's farewell to the prog rock scene. "Eleventh Earl of Mar" is about a father telling a bedtime story to his child. "One For The Vine" is a tale of religious disillusion and restoration. Tony Banks does an excellent job with his keyboard and synth arsenal. As disjointed as this song is to most fans, it really does have some beautiful chord progressions in it. "Your Own Special Way" is a too-often-knocked ballad. "Wot Gorilla" sounds as if it could have been done by Weather Report. "All In A Mouse's Night" is the album's most amusing number. "Blood On The Rooftops" is about those who get lost in the "boob tube (TV)". "Unquiet Slumbers"..."For The Sleepers..." "In That Quiet Earth" all bleed together seamlessly with "Afterglow", which has faint traces (in mood)of 1973's "After The Ordeal". So the play ends, and the curtain falls.

So So Songs meets Wrong Producer
Early 80's release from legendary power-popsters Cheap Trick doesn't show the band at it's best. The songs are a mixed bag...some ok stuff, some junk. But nothing here even comes close to the clever, razor-sharp Cheap Trick you'll find on earlier albums like 'Heaven Tonight' and 'Live At budokan'.Roy Thomas Baker's production work here is awful. The tight, raw vitality that was Cheap Trick's hallmark sound is replaced here by a sound that feels artificial and mechanical. But my major complaint with this record is the lack of dynamics. The mix is loud and cluttered with layers and layers of grinding, mechanical guitars and screaming vocals. And where's Bun E. Carlos??? It can't be him playing these stiff, mechanical, clanky-sounding drum tracks ! Baker's production work here stands among the worst I've ever heard. Couple that with the band's marginal songs and this one's a dud.

Boring and overrated.
Avril Lavigne's hit song, "Complicated" is so boring and overrated. I'll admit that the first few times I heard it, I was impressed. Now it really is starting to get tiring. The more I hear it, the less I tend to like it. I don't really like Avril all that much, either. I hate her attitude and personality. She doesn't really have a good voice, either, come to think of it. The other two songs on this CD single, I was not impressed with, either. In "Complicated", Avril sings about how people often change their images when they are hanging out with other people...trying to "act cool". I guess the lyrics are OK, but the song isn't. It could've been an OK song, but it's by Avril Lavigne.Score:50/100F-

Great and dark look at suburban life.
Talk with most people who are married. Most will tell you they love their significant other and their children. But even though most of the time they are telling the truth you can almost always sense that in some way they are somehow unhappy. This is what this flick is about. This movie captures the dark essence of family life. I'm not saying everyone who is married is unhappy. And not everyone of them ends in devorice. But there is a reason most do. I think the main reason people don't like this film is because it deals with aspects of life that are very upsetting.Now that I got that out of the way let me get to the review. I think this is a great film. It's very well acted and brutality honest. If you don't mind watching a downer of a film you will find much to like about this tale of oppression. Can't family life feel like that sometimes?

Fun documentary about a fringe community
My friend insisted I watch this film and even gave me a copy as a present - knowing that I love NYC and funky movies. One night, after dinner, I sat and watched it end to end. I expected to fall asleep half way through it and man was I shocked when it held my attention for the whole film. Basically, it's about people in NYC fishing in the waters around the City. They come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and ethnic backgrounds. Men and women too. Really a diverse group.I laughed. I learned things I didn't know. I enjoyed it completely. Can't ask more from a documentary can you?Like NYC and want to see a nice little movie? Give Gotham Fish Tales a try.

The Purple Lid is the best!
I started using Pacquins about 40 years ago. A co-worker whose mom was a hand model swore by it. I use it only once a day, and that's when I go to bed at night. No gloves or anything. I also have used Revlon's cuticle cream for as long, but they've now taken that off the market. The medicated Pacquins with the purple lid noticibly the best, and since it's no longer in the drugstores I have them order it for me from Phizer. Gotta go pick up some now. Now that I'm 65, I have a few brown spots on my face and fore arms. But my hands look 20 years younger. Now brown spots and they get more sun than the rest of me. If I'd known this 40 years ago, I'd have slathered it all over my body wheher I stuck to the sheets or not!

Doom 3 Game Review
A word of the wise: you need a hard drive to play original xbox game titles. Okay, so, it is freakin' amazing. The guns are intuitive, realistic, and fun to use. The monsters are amazing: they are varied and cool. The campaign is very fun, at least 8 hours long, and is not too repetative and when it is, it's the right amount of repetativeness. I have played it before, and loved it. Now I bought this and it truely is worth every penny. If you like shooters, great story lines, cool monsters, sweet guns, and the right amount of challenge, then this game is fit for you. If you have any doubts about this game, then please reconsider. It is violent-yes, but it is beating the Devil! You get to kill the Devil...think about it....

It really couldnt be much better
Infest was an okay cd. Yet it is a cd form a part of my life id like to forget.That is when i liked rap rock. Infest, when you remove all the rap rock and bad memories is okay.My best friend was talking to me once and he sent me she loves me not. I hated hated hated it. Then I grew to like it, and he bought lovehatetragedy. He was like, dude, you need to hear this. I checked it out and was amazed.The hard, punkish, in-your-face she loves me not, was the first highlight. Barbed wire, however, was amazing. It has the most cathcy verse riff youll ever find in hell! The melodic life is a bullet was another highlight, and time and time again and born with nothing die with everything.Some songs kinda sound the same, but its really all good. I mean, its this or go back to infest. If you odnt like it, i wouldnt be mad, but its an awesome cd and youd only be mad at yourslef

The Next Step...
Honestly, this book is the biggest waste of time and effort I can possibly imagine. The book provides nothing useful in terms of new information. In fact in one of the most laughable sections we read about how working out is our way of helping to heal the USA after 9/11. What a LOAD of BUNK!! Is this Shawn's way of reaching out after the tragedy? Bwaahahaha! It is basically a book dedicated to the narcissism of an aging 39 year old who has lived his whole life pumping up his midsection. It is obvious where the brains in this outfit belong and that is with the younger brother...Bill. If you want a book worth reading then maybe Body for Life, this is no BFL 2 so do not be fooled.Quickly, I will sum up. Don't eat a lot of crap. Flex your abs at the top, look at me in my briefs, look at me with some chick, look at me ...look at me. Got it? Good...now don't waste your time or money like I did.

Just taste what you want; you don't have to clean your plate
As much as I loved -- I mean, really, really loved -- The Shipping News -- I found it impossible to completely read Postcards. The first chapters were fascinating. Then about halfway, I started to lose interest. So I decided to browse it like a volume of short stories. The book is perfectly named, to describe what it is. Little pockets of stories. If you get bored with one, you can always just move on to the next one, or the one after that. That's what several of the characters did, so I gave myself permission to do likewise.A search of Google maps shows that there really is a place called Cream Hill, in western Vermont. It probably is every bit as hideous in winter as Proulx describes it to be. Nobody writes descriptive prose like her. You really feel like you are there.The character of Jewell, she is someone that I ached to know better. I'd love to read an entire book from her point of view.

A Long Way From Chicago
A Long Way From ChicagoMy review is on A Long Way From Chicago. I think this book was good, but I like Harry Potter. The main characters are Joey, Mary Alice, and Grandma Dowdel. Joey and Mary Alice go to Grandma's house every summer for one week in August. They always have an adventure when their there. I have to warn you though each chapter is it's own story. My favorite part was when Grandma shot off Shotgun Chetum's coffin lid. I also liked when Joey fainted because a snake fell in their boat. Grandma likes to use blackmail alot. When it says she told a whopper it's not like what you get at Burger King. It means she told a lie. I recommend this book to everybody even adults. I give it an 8.5 out of 10.

DVR4000 - Not the most reliable DVD for the money
I have owned my DVR4000 for about 8 months now. Over that time period, the DVD has continued to degrade. It began by not playing CDs after about a month. DVDs would then occasionally skip - a problem that became worse as time went on. Now, you can't get through a DVD without skipping/freezing numerous times.I am an electronic technician, so I opened it up to have a look. The DVD has only one laser. Most quality decks have two, one for CDs and one for DVDs. The main DVD control PCB runs excessively hot! That could explain the problem.I decided to call GoVideo/sonicBlue to see if I could get them to cover the problems under warranty. Parts are 1 year, labor is only 90 days. Funny thing, they have a separate 800 number for this model...sound like they have had a lot of problems?My advice - avoid the DVR4000. The DVR4500 or 4300 seem to be better models and are less expensive at current prices.

Weird Concept, Well Executed
Interesting film. Oddly enough, I stumbled across this film at a local library! I read the premise and had to see how this was executed.It's filmed very amateur style, but not poorly. The fact that it's black and white I think adds to it. There are some really nice looking shots, as well as some truly creepy ones. The acting is well...hard to say. It really comes off as if everyone is just being themselves, but not in a way that looks bad. It almost feels like a home movie instead of a real film. I think in this way, it makes the events that unfold have that much more of an impact on you.I only have 2 complaints: 1. It moves a bit slow at parts. 2. The killing scenes aren't very well filmed, especially the 2nd. All in all, it's an interesting concept and I feel it's worth checking out. The fact that there are 2 actual handicapped people in the film is neat. Make sure to check out the interviews as well, very good stuff.

Awful and pretentious, eh?
I kept from reading this novel because of all the terrible reviews it was getting all over the place; but then I decided no novel could be that bad. I was wrong--it's worse. The prose is at times undecipherable, and I kept reading only to see whether it would become even worse. It did. Ostensibly the story of Norma Jeane who became Marilyn Monroe, it amounts to drivel, hot-house imaginings about another's sexual life, pretentious pronouncements about acting and just about everything else Oates can conjure up, including (really!) stuffed birds. And why does every character have to end sentences with, "Eh?" .... And pretentious? Oh, my, just glance through all the italicized passages and you'll get an idea, just a hint, of how awful the whole thing is. I've never read any of Oates' other novels, dozens and dozens, but this one is enough. More than enough.

Hoo Boy! The very reason I choose 12 steps over the church.
It's no wonder I was so eager to get out of the churches! I went until I was 13 years old and it never made sense. Just flipping through the pages of this book reminds me why being involved in a church was such a repulsive ordeal. PARANOIA! FEAR! FALSE PRIDE! IGNORANCE! BLIND JUDGEMENT! FALSE WITNESS! EGO! EGO! EGO!Thank God there are other ways to find God than in a church. It may work for some but not for many! AA saved my life and freed me from a life of misery. I'm no longer a member of AA (I joined a different 12 Step Fellowship more suited to my disease - hint hint), but I will forever remain thankful to the founders and members of AA for helping me get off the streets and back into society. Been clean for nine years! I am free!

Better things out there!
While fliiping through cds I found this peice of junk. The cover is catchy, but catchy doesn't cut it. I to read the front of the cd and was interested by the advertisement saying that this was Jim Suptic from the Get Up Kids new project. Although the last few albums tguk put out were junk I knew that they had put out some really good stuff before.(four minute mile,woodson e.p., and something to write home about)So, back to this new album by Blackpool Lights. Aside from only having two halfway decent songs(#5,#11)you can pretty much count on the rest of them sucking. Lyrically this has to be the most lame album ever. Reggie and the full effect lyrics are a masterpeice next to this. You would think that someone would progress as a musician but not in this case. Why do I spend so much time on this review? Because I have the time to tell people not to support such a horrible album. This album is to music as what A History of violence is to movies. Don't buy it!

Unless you are patient don't bother!!
I have been a huge Clue fan since I was little. I was so excited to see this cd-rom. The first game I played it froze in the middle. The next 6 attempts the same thing happened. I got very frustrated and went searching on the internet for the web pages listed on the manual. I downloaded the 'patch', rebooted my computer, this time the game lasted longer than the previous 7 attempts. Finally I turned everything that was running in the background on my computer, except for the two basic programs you need and the game ran fine for 6 games in a row. (I have to admit when it runs like it should it is fun.) The seventh game I was almost at the end of the game when it crashed the computer. No matter what I did the 'butler's voice' would only start working about 3 turns into the game. So unless you have the time to turn every program off everytime, don't waste your money- stick with the classic board version!!

Not a Ladies Watch!
I odered this watch for my wife, who is an RN and seeing the numbers is important. When I received the watch, I was sure they sent me the wrong one since it was not at all what I expected. After several email communications with the company, they confirmed that this is what I odered. However, calling this watch a "Ladies" watch is a misrepresentation in my opinion. It is large even for a man's watch! And my wife refused to wear it. My communications with the company ended when I asked for their return policy; they never answered that email. Their site said that they would not refund the S&H; charges, which were an exhorbitant 50% of the cost of the watch! If they would have stuck with that policy, I would not have returned it. So now I am stuck with a watch that nobody wants.UPDATE 10/3/2010: I see that they now label this as a "Men's Watch". But, believe me, it was labelled as a Ladies Watch when I origibnally ordered it. Looks like somebody "wised up".

Sharp performer
For the most part I'm very happy with this lens. It's pretty sharp wide open and produces tack sharp images up to f11. f16 is good but by f22 there's noticeable softness. Diffraction kills this lens at what is a very useful aperture for depth of field. Forget sharpness at f32.The lens is very compact and light for a macro. That's good. It lives in my bag and I use it often. Color is neutral if a bit low in saturation. Contrast is also just a tiny bit low, though both of these factors are easy to correct with a little processing. I generally get good results with autofocus, though that is slow and there is no focus limiter on the lens. Since very close up work requires manual focusing anyway, I don't think that's a real problem.The lens works well for tight portraiture like head shots. The bokeh from this lens is beautiful, producing great low depth of field images.

Ghost Soldiers
This book is amazing. I appreciated the parallel story lines with the rescuers and the prisoners. This allowed me to breathe. When I first read this book, I was so emotionally involved, I had to put it down periodically for awhile to gather myself. There were times when I couldn't see the page. My mother was different, she was so gripped she couldn't put it down and read it straight through without stopping. Hampton Sides does a great job in creating a vivid picture of the realities of this aspect of the war. Yet, he doesn't go into the blood and guts and gore. He left a lot to the imagination. I appreciated that because my imagination is enough. I truly think that this book is a tribute to the soldiers, rescuers, the kind Japanese, and everyone who bravely faced the horrors of war. I highly recommend this book to any historian.

Stick To The Movie, THAT was a treat!
Get's one star in appreciation of the technicians who had to record the cd. What a mess! Never should have been made. Even Julie is way past the point of playing this onstage. She half talks her way through her songs, her voice clearly not what it was when she made the film. Sorry Julie, should have left it alone.The rest of the cast is not on a par with the film. Tony Roberts in place of Robert Preston...not on his best day. Leslie Ann Warren was riotuosly original in the film, Rachel York trying to copy her, is not. And Michael Nouri? Dismal.The songs added to the score for the stage.......forget it.Not even worth mentioning any more. Goes into the WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? file.As for Julie refusing her Tony nomination because the rest of the show was overlooked? C'mon Julie, there was a reason for that, the show SUCKED!As for the music, buy the film soundtrack. It's lovely, this is not.

Piece of junk
Do not buy this product.I chose it because of the cutting width and height adjustments. The thing broke within the first hour of use. Amazon sent a replacement, and that one also broke, although after about 4 months of use. The two-year warranty is worthless, as they won't replace their defective product.This mower has a serious design flaw. The sprockets inside the wheels are made out of plastic. They get stripped by the metal of the blade-axel. Then they are totally worthless. After one breaks then the blade is turned only by the other side, putting more strain on it. It will soon break too.This was two separate units that broke. It's not that I got a lemon. The product is worthless.Reel mowers are very nice. Choose another brand.

BEST PHONE EVER!!!!
This is the best phone there is out there on the market :)I love this phone. You can do so many cool things. Don't ever have to worry about downloading ringtones because you're MP3 songs automaticall can convert as ringtone as well. I love this phone. You can change the ringtone into a video when someone is calling as well. It is the best phone out there. The signal, volume, and battery are all great. It comes with a charger and head phone for radio. Oh, the radio is great and reception works out great as well. THe only thing I have to say is that the keys on the numbers are verhy thin ( i have small fingers) and they feel very thin to me. Other than that,the speaker on the phone is great as well.. Make sure you buy a memory card (which I did on Amazon) and it does a wonderful job of storing my pictures and everything. I love this phone. I highly suggested to anyone who wants a mp3, cell, and picture all in one package. Woot woot Sony Ericsson!

This CD rocks out
This CD is truly awesome! In my opinion, I believe that Further Seems Forever is better with Jason. He seems to fit better than Chris. Don't get me wrong Chris Carraba was and is awesome. I think he is better off with Dashboard though. The Moon Is Down has a completely different sound to it than How To Start A Fire. This CD has so many awesome songs, it is hard to pick out which ones rock the most. "insincerity as and artform", "on legendary" and "pride war" are definatly highlights. If you liked The Moon Is Down you are sure to love How To Start A Fire. It is addictive. When I first got this CD, it stayed in my CD player for a month straight. Now i have to listen to it once every few days. Jason and Chris have now found where they are meant to be. Jason with FSF and Chris with DC. This is how it was meant to be. Put this CD on the top of your CD's to buy list because it truly is awesome.

Another work of art
I love this album! There are so many layers on this album that one must listen to it several times to unearth them all. It is brilliant! It is a testament to Tori's ability to be in constant motion, constant "evolution" and constant surprise. Her use of language is incredible. With Tori every word is a brick in the foundation. You have to LISTEN not just hear. She is truly gifted.This album is a rollercoaster of fun, sadness, introspectiveness and passion! And CD 2 brings back wonderful memories and shows the power of her stage presence. A MUST!!

One of the worst movies I've seen
Ok, now if you liked "Dumb and Dumber", take this review with a grain of salt. I hated that movie, and this one wasn't a whole lot better. John Cusack went on an on about his annoying "top 5" lists. His love life was uninteresting at best. His two annoying record store buddies were obnoxious at best, nowhere near the "hilariously funny" characters I was promised. I was truly unable to finish this movie. It was painfully slow, pointless, and just plain dull. I personally am a fan of John Cusack. For example I thought his work in "The Thin Red Line", while a small part, was exellent. He deserved a far better script than this movie had. Definitly one of the worst movies I've seen.

Well worth the wait and not spending bootleg money
When the BBC sessions came out, I was sorry I ever spent a dime on all the inferior bootlegs (trust me, I bought alot!). I never bought any videos and boy am I glad now! The DVD is split nice between the pre-star Zep and the arena years. Both are equally amazing in terms of sound and video quality. It shows how Jimmy still cares enough to put out quality releases like these. I really liked the extras. Check out the comical lip syncing and playing on the Communication Breakdown promo. The most bizzare is definitely the French TV performance. Check out the lady with her baby and the look on the orchestra player's faces.This DVD is a bargain at the price and is definitly a must own. I wonder if anything else is in the works. Thanks Jimmy for this and all the new releases!

Goldy is Great
I wondered how this series with Goldy Bear would hold up. I had originally thought that Goldy was a Jewish caterer. My mistake! Goldy's real name is Gertrude and Goldilocks is the name she uses for her catering company. I truly enjoyed this mystery. I found it interesting how Goldy had to rely on other cleaning jobs when her catering business is temporarily shut down by accusations of poisoning. I know there's no way in hell I could ever clean up after other people. I have a hard enough time doing it for myself!I'd like to read more in this series. I'd like to hear more about her budding relationship with the cop, Tom. I like him. He's sarcastic and speaks his mind. Wonderful attributes in a man.

Unconditional Love
A Good movie for both the parent(s)and their child or children. A small town where a group of boys start the Buttercream Gang. One of the boys leaves to attend school in Chicago. He lives with his aunt. The boy ends up with the wrong people and ends up returning to the small town and lives with his grandfather. All kinds of trouble happens. The boys of The Buttercream Gang learn how to turn the other cheek (how to deal with a situation with non-violence instead of the eye for an eye method or using violence. They find it is not easy. But continue with support from parents and other grown-ups of the town. The boy ends up returning to his gang in Chicago. The Boys Aunt tells the Buttercream Gang where he is staying in Chicago and they continue to write to him. I will leave it here. You will need to watch it to find out how it ends. We need to support children in learning nonviolent ways of dealing with agruements and such. Teach them to help in the community. And to love them.

***WARNING*** Not for the visual learner!
Not for people who learn VISUALLY, that much is clear. I love the Web, I designed my first site in 1995. I sell Internet advertising and also have a freelance Web design business, so I wanted to sharpen my skills. Whoo. This book is great...if you are looking for a sleep aid! YAWN... I have very strong computer skills, and have taught myself some difficult stuff (including HTML from just reading other people's code). I took a class where this book was given out, and it was the most boring, dry, difficult to wade through text I've ever experienced. I can honestly say I got NOTHING from this text. It may be their approach, writing style, who knows? But if you can read and retain information presented abstractly, give this book a try. But if you need to get your hand on the mouse and drive, with a textbook at hand--do yourself a favor and get a Visual Quickstart Guide (Peachpit Press). You'll be grateful you did!

Great game with a high fun factor
This game is really fun to play. It's pretty quick.. took about 5 hours to beat. I just got a Xbox360 and I actually put that down to play the 'old school' psx dino crisis games for a few weeks. Dino crisis 2 is much better than the original (though the original is fun too).. the weapon layout and game play is wayyy better in the second one. There are way more dinos to take out and more area to explore. The graphic are slightly better and the menus are laid out better. Game play is just as fun as newer games imho. If you havent played these yet.. just imagine resident evil 2 with dinos instead of zombies. Only thing that kinda sucked was I did get enough 'dino points' to buy the best weapons & supplies till the very end. When you start a new game there was no option to keep them.. maybe I just didnt save enough. Oh well.. def pick this game up!!

LINDA EDER IS A SUPER TALENT WHO NEEDS ANOTHER DIRECTION
Linda Eder is one of my favorite contemporary singers, however, please get a grip on what is good! What a wasted voice on such mediocrity. LINDA PLEASE HOOK UP WITH OTHER PRODUCERS/SONGWRITERS! This woman is on the cusp of greatness, and platinum records, but even Rosie ODonnell and countless performances on Regis and the Today show cannot save this dud. Her other albums should be bought, this one should be shelved. I know she is in love with Frank Wildhorn, and I know he has produced incredible musicals, but she needs to work with someone else. Someone who knows how to produce a hit record, a radio-friendly record, not this "material." Atlantic will release "Here Comes the Sun" to an unready, and uninterested public. Push the marketing machine on catchy pop please. Show the world the instrument that is Eder's voice. Linda Eder will be without a loyal audience if she makes another "GOLD" mistake.

One of the Worst Books Ever
Why any publisher would print such drivel is beyond me. The characters are cartoon-like and have no depth whatsoever. It is very sloppily written and edited. Just to name a couple of errors that others haven't mentioned. In the boat chase, Stokely Jones' boat at first is powered by two 150 hp Mercury engines. A couple of pages later they become 250 hp Yamaha engines. The bad guys take off from Indonesia flying northwest ostensibly over the Pacific to Los Angeles. Hello? Flying northwest will take you over Asia, not the Pacific. His description of nuclear weopons is total nonsense. Thank Heavens I got the book from the library and didn't pay good money for it!! It is an awful read!!

I loved it, but the love affair didn't last long
We ordered the King size with dual controls. Fantastic. My husband's side began to flash E for error 3 days later and stopped heating, wouldn't even turn on. My side worked fantastically. So we returned the blanket and ordered another one. This one lasted for 5 days until it began to malfunction, again on my husband's side. it would turn itself off during the night and would flash an error message. My side was keeping me warm until last night, when it turned itself off during the night after only 4 hours. It's not that it overheated or anything as I kept it on a moderately low level of 4. This second blanket is going back. It's a shame because it's light weight, heats up quickly and soft. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Condition
I would not reccomend this product. It was cheaper at Amazon.com than walmart, but It took forever to get. It took two weeks for us to get it. When caption said ships 5-7 days. Than when we did get it, several pieces were broken. Major pieces. When I called the company, (which I was on hold for 30 minutes) then told me that we had so many pieces that were broken (5) that we needed to return it. I told them no, it's over 100 lbs and I am 7mth preg. they then changed the tune and said they would ship the parts they would be here in 4 weeks. Another mth. So it took almost 2 mths to get this product. It is not worth the problems. Plus, nothing was labeled, and you had to figure out what pieces were what. Plus, the shelves inside the unit are WHITE, the armoire is natural but the shelves inside are white. I called the company and they said this is true.

LOVE SANDRA BROWN, HATED THIS BOOK!
I'VE TRIED TO REVIEW THIS BOOK FOUR TIMES! I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, BUT HERE I GO AGAIN! From the start I had probelms with this book. What Banner did to persuade Jake to make love to her was despicable. To use his feeling for her mother(Lydia) against him and ask him to use her(Banner) as a substitute? What kind of a self respecting lady would do that? I can understand that Banner was young and was in need of comfort, but she should have been woman enough to persuade Jake on her own. Then she makes Jake spend the majority of the book trying to convince her that he loves her and not her mom! As if that wasn't bad enough then Ross(her Dad) is killed. Was this so that the author could show once in for all that Jake only loved Banner? What a shame that Lydia would have to suffer so much because of an insecure selfish daughter. I HAVE LOVED ALL THE OTHER SANDRA BROWN BOOKS I HAVE READ, BUT IN MY OPINION THIS ONE WAS WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR'S EVIL TWIN!

THANK YOU FOR LISTENNING
the best christmas collection i believe buy the king. elvis put just as much into his christmas and gospel music as he did with his secular recordings. he truly IS the king of rock n' roll. what else can i say about this collection that hasn't already been said except to one mr. ludwig j. pluralist and that is..you're a scrooge. what, rock n' rollers shouldn't record christmas song's or albums? and this makes poor elvis a schlock and a square buy doing as such. the only poor schlock square here is you my friend. how do you know buddy holly and gene vincent wouldn't have recorded christmas songs had they lived. you seem to forget, the last show buddy holly gave was a winter dance show so again, how do you know he didn't add christmas songs to his set list? were you there? i don't think so! you say christmas music is irritating huh, well i say, the only thing that's irritating is people like you and that's all I need to say.
