beware of shoddy merchandise that cannot be returned
I bought this dress for a granddaughter who was singing an Annie song in a school talent show. It was missized- - very short. It was made from very shoddy fabric. It was never worn, but I was not allowed to return it. I was told costumes are not returnable, but I could exchange it. I asked why would I exchange it? It is such a shoddy piece of merchandise. The seller said it is a costume, not a dress. I paid $40 for it and expected some value for that amount of money. Beware of anything this vendor is trying to sell. I found out that every vendor has a different return policy. Investigate the return policy carefully. Amazon may sell the product, but does not insure that returns can be made. I lost $40.

ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE PRODUCT! DO NOT BUY!
Worst product ever! We have a 1 year old female boxer who is in heat. We first bought size large and thought maybe they just didn't fit. So we bought size extra large and we have the same problem. The hole for the tail is not even in the right spot. They always fall down and we have to keep pulling them up. They fall down so her girly part is showing through the tail hole. NOT EVEN COVERED for protection. The tabs also kept ripping off because of us constantly pulling them up. WORTHLESS PRODUCT!!! Wasted $40 on these.

Just Awesome
I am a Gadget Geek. I want the best stuff out there and the coolest toys available. I waited for some reason with the kindle and it was a mistake. My kindle goes everywhere with me and I now read 4x what I did before. Yes there is the iPad out there, but there are several drawbacks to the new apple toy.1. cannot read the screen in sunlight2. battery life is 1/8 the kindle3. smudges on the screen from touching it constantly4. heavy5. you have to buy the 3g service plan (which sucks through at&t;) or find wifi6. you cannot listen to music while you read (no multiple app functionality)Bottom line, if you want a toy, buy the iPad. If you want to best book on the planet, buy the kindle.cheers

Great Receptionist!!!
I bought this same answering machine nearly three years ago. Just this year the unit was struck by lightning. Amazingly enough, the unit still works on its' own but when you connect it to a caller ID it won't work. It has been a great receptionist for me. It works very well for a home-based business. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find another one because it was unavailable at the place where I initially purchased it. Then I tried Amazon.com and found it about eight dollars cheaper and received it in a matter of 3 days. I think it's a great machine to have and I've never had any other problem with it. Once I followed the instructions on programming it, it was ON, like popcorn. That's a little slang my grandkids taught me. If you put a pretty long greeting on it, it will even discourage bill collectors. I hope GE continues to make this product. It's GREAT!!! Lois Simmons

Just getting started
My husband and I were wanting to spice up our marriage. I found I had an interest in kink, so he decided to try it. He really appreciates this book. He said it gave him some ideas of guidelines and where to start (as the dom)and what it was really all about. He said it also gave him insight as to my position (sub). Since he has read it, he has started being more bold. He even sent me roses to work and accented their thorns with a little note he wrote!I haven't finished it yet, but what I have read I have enjoyed. The humor is great and I am constantly smiling throughout making it a joy to read. I can really relate to the authors. I appreciate the comments written on this book. It has been a great book to break the ice and open new doors in our marriage.

Wow!!
You probably wont believe a stranger telling you that this Hanson cd is awesome... you'll probably have to listen to it for yourself to become a believer!! But PLEASE give it a chance, even if you're not the world's biggest Hanson fan. I've always liked Hanson, so I'm kind of partial to them anyway, but I've also always seen what it is people dont like about them. They're singing ability was kind of shaky, though their tunes were kind of catchy, and their songs, lyrics, and image lacked maturity. "This Time Around" changes all of that! I was blown away by their newfound maturity, and how well it was displayed in such a wide ranging album. It's amazing!! The album is a little bit of blues mixed with rock and their signature pop, but it's not all that bouncy, happy pop like Middle of Nowhere. I've been able to turn a few Hanson haters into fans with this cd! Even if you cant bring yourself to buy this cd, listen to some of the tracks a few times!! If you're not hooked soon...well... you will be.

Vanilla Icing Dark Ash Blonde Comes out Dark and Greenish!
WARNING. This is a horrible color. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I had this color applied in my hair that I specifically read the reviews for "Vanilla Icing" Dark Ash Blonde. Though there are good reviews for other colors, all the reviews for THIS color are awful. I raced into my tub and rinsed off the product early but to no avail. The color is hideous. I started with a blonde color just SLIGHTLY lighter than the photo on the box (and easily one of the three in the "color result guide" on the side of the box). All I wanted to do was to slightly change the tone. I now have DARK greenish-brown hair. It doesn't even SLIGHTLY resemble the color on the box (or even any natural color.) UGGG. I'm going to run to Walgreens now and buy some kind of color eraser, and hope I can get it out. STEER AWAY FROM THIS COLOR!!!

Funny......ok not really
Eurotrip was suppose to be funny as hell. It wasnt. Well for meit wasn't. Its not the best or greatest comedy I've seen but its stupid enough to make you laugh like a bit. The plot was stupid and cheezy. THIS GIRL FROM OUT OF NO WERE DOESNT EVEN NO THIS GUY AND SHE WANTS TO BE WITH HIM! Unless all german girls are really like that than never mind about it. The movie wasn't as good as rode trip I can tell you that. The characters were lame and stupid. The stories ending didn't make me really enjoy the movie. I hate it that all teenager flicks alway have to make an ending when the main character gets the girl. Why cant they make a different ending wich lets you think and say "thats not how I pictured it". Well if you wanna pay nine bucks for this crap be my guess. I shouldn't have but you make the dessision.I recommend you watch Club Dred. That will funny.

Finally something that works!!!!
I have had a really bad problem with sweating for about 3 years and have tried every deodorant under the sun with horrible results every time. This was a very embarrassing problem, especially since I am a girl, and it was very frustrating not being able to wear clothes that I wanted to . I read about Certain Dri in a magazine article and decided to give it a try, expecting to be disappointed. The first night, there was a lot of itching, but that is normal. It worked pretty well, but I still sweat some. The second day, I sweat even more than I did the first day, so I was beginning to get very disappointed. I kept using it and now I am sweat free!!! This is the best feeling! I can finally wear what I want and I feel like a normal teenage girl!!! If you feel like you sweat too much, this product is definitely worth a try!!

LIGHTEN UP
It gave me a headache. I found nothing enlightening about it. I subscribe to the belief that in truth there is beauty and simplicity. In science it can be a simple formula expressing a profound idea such as E=mc^2. I guess it's a great academic exercise for those who have the time. Where's the clarity. I subscribe the KISS concept. Life/being at least in the physical sense appears very short from where I'm sitting. I'd rather embrace life with joy and whatever form my being has taken and savor the time I have. That to me has real meaning. To each his/her own we will probably never know if we got it "right" orwill MH. Or perhaps he finally did.

THE BEST!
This product SAVED MY LIFE. (This kid's review thing is handy if you don't want to go into a hassle about making yourself a member,huh?) I used to sweat excessivly, for years - it was such an embaressment. I used to wear sweatshirts every day so no one would see. It was horrible. I worried about it constantly. And then I saw this ad for Certi-Dri, and I decided to try it. The rest is history. Although I would add that using it after shaving is a terrible idea (it burns like anything) and it doesn't work so well, on me at least, around my period time (that is, I sweat a little bit then.). Otherwise, it never fails! I love it! I use it every other night (or every third night) and it's fantastic. If you have a sweating problem, BUY THIS! You'll never regeret it.-A 19 year old Fan

re: Bach
re: Bach is bad not because of it's new age or pop tracks. Those are alright. The arrangements are quite pleasent. No, the album is painful to listen to because of the way Lara plays on the classical tracks. She is sounding way worse than any of her previous albums. The playing is just so unmusical. The dynamics are horrible. Like maybe she was sick while recording it. I'd like to quickly forget this CD and only remember Lara the way she sounded on some of her previous, brilliant albums. If you never heard her play, try the Gypsy album. It is quite brilliant.

Missing Game
I'm a huge Browns fan and I ordered this as soon as i found out this was available. I was at the falcons game in '02 and have great memories of bernie and the dawg pound defense of the mid-late 80s. i was only 2 during the kardiac kids season, but was excited to watch this too. the falcons game was great - watched that 1st, good quality. however, when i put the squeelers disc in - which was labeled as such - it was another copy of the falcons game. 1 star is not a commentary on the dvd, but the fact that one game was missing. very frusterating. will return and try again though. i'm not sure why more games aren't available. i'd buy a bunch of these sets. the nfl (and mlb) need to get their act together and put out more dvds - just with better quality control.

J.D Salinger the thief
J.D. Salinger's catcher in the rye is a blatant rip off of John Fante's 'Ask the dust' he only made it more reader friendly. From the catholic imagery, to the very scene of the prostitute dressed in green. J.D. Salinger is a hack, he's a recluse so we think he's so mysterious, but in reality it's because he's a nothing. Stolen, for the love of god, I beg you to read both books and make up your mind who is the better writer, a poor immigrant or a rich brat? I remember having catcher in the rye shoved down my throat in highschool. I couldn't believe the crap that guy flung at us. And the audacity. Fact- "Ask the dust" was published in 1939, catcher in the rye in the fifties. I'm just asking you to read both books and make up your mind. For I already know the truth. JD Salinger is a rich brat that ripped off a meaningful writer's complete style and story. Only made it more posh. Read both books and make up your mind. JD Salinger is a travesty to writing.

2D Insanity
I keep telling people I'm not a fan of fighting games. However, the Dreamcast keeps making a liar out of me with some of the best fighting games, and i keep buying them. I doubt there is a fighting game that is better at combining all the factors that go into a great game. The game s very easy to learn, as most of the combos are pretty easy to master; almost pick up and play. However, the stratgey involved in pulling these moves and when to let loose with a combo adds a lot of depth. It gets deeper when you add all the characters that need to be unlocked. There is a total of 56 characters! Thus replay value is a forgone conclusion. The graphics are phenomenal. The 2D characters are place atop 3D back grounds. This is a fighting game for fans of the genre as well those that aren't.

I reveled in reading Lance's story.
I'm a student from NYC Technical College. I study English as a second language and in this semester our teacher picked this book. < It's not about the bike> By: Lance Armstrong. I think she made a good choice for the class because some times we read together, we shared ideas, and we enjoyed reading this book. My opinion about Lance is that he is a perfect example for others with any obstacles in their lives. Lance fought against his cancer and emerged with victory. He won his dreams because he won the Tour de France. He had a second chance in his life and he was approaching this opportunity. I want to see him racing his bike again in a competition. Maybe I will read his second book if he writes another and follow his new life with his wife and his son. I encourage others to read this book based on real life and how he won the fight: " Lance vs cancer ".

Hilarious characters!!!!
In the BFG, the BFG catches dreams in Dream Country. No human can see them. The BFG can only hear them with his gigantic ears. He uses a net to catch these dreams. All of this happens in the chapter called Journey to Dream Country. The BFG goes to a house next to an orphanage. There lay awake on her bed, a little girl named Sophie. When the BFG saw her, he took her because he didn't want her to tell anyone that there was a giant outside her window with a long trumpet and a briefcase in each hand. He took her to his cave in Giant Country where there lay nine giants, double the size of the BFG. When the got in the cave, Sophie could hear them galloping off somewhere. What she didn't know was that the would or could be in the headlines of a magazine. I shall not tell you anything more about this book except that if you're under the age of six I think this book may be too harsh. If you like action and want a good hoot well all I can say is good choice.

6th Grader's Review
This story is about Joey Pigza before his medication (the medication is for ADD, and it is working for him). He is 9 years old and beyond hyper, and he is becoming quite dangerous with just his grandmother around. His mother is away chasing his dad who also can't control himself. Joey has many problems with his hyperness and must go to special ed. This story is filled with excitement and fun. Joey is unaware of himself and the people around him. This gives him quite a few problems. I would not like to meet him in a crazy stage.This book was very good, but some parts were a bit too crazy. I sometimes felt like it got a little too insane by Joey. The author tries to make things funny that are not intended to be funny. Overall it was a fairly good book, and I think people should read it.Reviewer: Douglas2 out of 5 stars

Good looking, sturdy, reliable
My wife owns this phone. I made the mistake of getting a Treo 650 (see review there), but I wouldn't mind having this phone instead. Sharp looking. Reliable. Very sturdy, much more so than some other Moto phones I've seen (read: RAZR). We love the ringtone that says "Hello, Moto." It's not perfect -- drawbacks include:* Only one phone number per contact. So if you have three phone numbers for one person, you'll see them show up three times in your phonebook. I can see where some people might prefer this -- maybe it's easier to give each number its own speed-dial, or quicker to get to a specific number without drilling down through menus -- but to me, it's sloppy.* Rings could be louder. Really only an issue if you're going to carry this in a purse.* Power connector is a little flaky. This could have been better designed. We've thought we've plugged this phone in before, only to discover it wasn't quite connected and it didn't charge. A cradle might solve this one.

Why do people like Lollipop?
Why do people like Lollipop?Being a native of the hometown of Lollipop, Toledo, OH, where people LOVE this band, I should know the answer to this question. But, alas, I can't figure it out for the life of me. Anti-climatic, cliched, hateful metal is what this is. I see no point to it. First of all, their theme of murder is offensive. Especially when a member of your family has been brutally murdered. Don't trivialize something so disgusting. Secondly, their music is completely flat...that's what happens when you try to be heavy throughout an entire song. It's boring. Thirdly, this style and the topic of the lyrics has become a cliche these days. It may have been cool and interesting when it was original back in '96, but it's just old and worn out today. Where's the originality? How can this be considered art? As a musician and artist in Toledo, I want to say that not everything out of Toledo is this bad.

disappointed
I bought this book based on the online reviews. I couldn't believe I was reading the same book as was being reviewed! I couldn't even finish this book. The story was poorly developed. Ms. Berg used very obvious plot devices which glared out at me and, as hard as I tried, I couldn't believe the situation. The feeling of the story was one of someone trying too hard to fit every explaination in for why this ridiculous situation was happening that the heart of the characters did not come through. There was no connection nor flow in this story. Did not one of you notice that Samantha's eyes were brown on page 21 and "hot green" on page 31??? Then they were back to whiskey colored a few pages later. This glaring mistake was so distracting. I wish all the best to Ms. Berg but I can't say that I will be buying any more of her books.

Unpleasant dreams, everybody.
I second most of what "hugh dignon" said below; he hit it on the head. I enjoy few authors more than James. I'm a full-grown, mostly rational, non-squeamish, non-superstitious adult, and these stories make my skin crawl, even on repeat readings.One small caveat: It might be hard to resist devouring all the stories in a short period of time. Resist and ration them out. First, because these are (nearly?) all the ghost stories he wrote. Second, they're formulaic enough in structure that as you near the end of the book, they start to lose some impact if read all at once.I've read "The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance" four or five times. I still can't follow the plot. It still keeps me awake at night. (Maybe this is because Punch & Judy puppets creep me out). Does anyone else get it?

sad
Poor support. No support, even the free stuff without handing over your credit card first. Updates are just charges for new version numbers. You can't use the payroll system without paying for their monthly service. Irritating pop-ups trying to sell you more stuff while you are trying to do book work. And yes I still own it and have for a few years. It has its good points. Pretty easy to set up and use. Kinda stuck at the moment. Believe it or not I switched to this from a worse program, Peachtree. My only salvation is I only need it for two more years then it goes in the trash.1/10/07 - As promised, in the trash. Sold my business in April. They happily charged another years Payroll service to my credit card last month , even though the information they have on file is outdated. The only good point is the girl in the Phillipines I talked to about the charges quickly and politely reversed them.

This is how Dave Ramsey got rich, millions buying his books!
This book was a real waste of time and money. This book is talking about common sense. The equation is: You got debt so pay it off. If you do not understand this equation than you need to read books in other fields such as Elematary Math made easy. It is a tick book but it got so little info, most of the time it repeats it self. Debt is bad so pay it off. Debt is bad so create a emergency account. Debt is bad, spend wisely. There is also a workbook which does the same thing as QUICKEN. Basicaly the workbook is QUICKEN in paper. In conclusion if you got extra money and time to waste than get this book otherwise stay away...

Heart stopping and intense
"o" was an exceptional movie. I have never been much for drama but I descided to see it anyway. Josh hartnett's ( Black hawk down, 40 days and 40 nights) performance was breakthough. It really showed how talented he is. Mekhi Phifer (Honey, 8 mile) and Julia Stiles { Save the last dance, 10 things I hate about you) shared alot of depth and chemistry in this film. Tim Nelson did a great job foccusing on Josh Hartnett and Mekhi Phifer's strange relationship together. This move was very intense and full of twists and turns. The cast was nearly perfect. I beleive every actor play there part exactly as was scripted plus added edgy touches and breakthrough perfomances. If you are easily frusterated with drama movies I do not reccomend this movie. But if you enjoy intensity and drama this move is a definate for you.

Took It Back !
I went to Best Buy on Nov. 18th to buy a HP 932c. Xerox rep. talked me into this one. Printed about 50 pages then the print head clogged. Photos were all grainy. Freezes up constantly. It is VERY NOISY. Shakes the whole desk. Had to constanly unplug it to reset. Error" no printer connected to LPT 1." Called Xerox, they said the print head is supposed to last 2000 pages. Well, if you have to replace the print head every 4 times you replace a ink tank, then thats not very economical to me. I had mine 5 weeks, pleaded with BB to take it back even though it was more than 14 days old. The reason he did was because Xerox is gonna discontinue their "consumer printers". You will not be able to get ink, or heads for this one real soon. I bought the HP932c, $100 more, but well worth it. Very quiet,pictures are amazing. It took me a bunch of aggrivation and 5 weeks to get the HP I originally went for.

I have to play Negative Nelly. This bites!
I was so excited after reading all these reviews. A $22 great board. Well, the good thing about the board is just that, the board. It's made of good material and heals nicely. The metal is way to thick which encourages bounce backs, the color of the numbers are nearly unrecognizable. That's no big deal, I painted mine white. There was about 1/16 th inch gap between metal and board which ridiculous. It can't simply be re-anchored....because... It was all warped and so something was inevitable to be "off". I gently removed it and took a picture. If I had to do again, I would probably buy the same board. Obviously, I'm one of the unfortunate. Oh, mounting instructions would have helped. 3 nails a few screws and some bracket I had to figure out.

Dead Whale is No Fun
No joy was recieved from watching a whale be killed for no reason except stupidity. A very strange video. One just can't believe Disney let this whale die. The Fredinand story was much better, although a bit slow. The final and best story of all three, Lambert, is fantastic. If only they were ALL this good. Buy this for Lambert and maybe Ferdinand. Willie the dead whale singing in heaven is just weird. It's unimaginable that the whale dies like this. There must be a [hidden] message to this story that I don't get or am refusing to entertain. Lambert should have been the lead story - too funny.

Don't waste your time!!!!!
I bought this play thinking it was going to be great. Well it wasn't. I got bored 2 minutes into this play. This play was supposed to be happy and joyous since it's about Christmas. It left me sad and mad that I bought it. Whatever you do PLEASE!!!! Don't waste your time buying this play. O! The songs in this play aren't any good either. The CD has only 2 songs on it. That CD was not even worth buying this play. I thought that since they had Ruben in the play they'd have lots of singing in it. NOT!! This was really a waste of my money. Buy it at your own risk. You won't be able to say I didn't warn you. Now I know why I haven't heard Ruben Studdard or Golden Brooks talking about this play when they do interviews. If I were them I wouldn't either.

Mostly Good
I don't know if I particularly care for Justin Timberlake. I bought this album not knowing what to expect. The first ten songs were good, but the last 3 sucked. Here'e how I'll rate the songs.1. Senorita- One of my favorites on the album 9/102. Like I Love You- Good. 6/103. (Oh No)What You Got- I like the beat to this. 6.5/104. Take It From Here- I love this song. 9/105. Cry Me A River- Good revenge song. 8/106. Rock Your Body- I enjoyed this one. 7.5/107. Nothin' Else- He sounds okay here. 6.5/108. Last Night- He sounds like Michael Jackson here. 9.5/109. Still On My Brain- I love the melody on this song. 9/1010. (And She Said)Take Me Now- I like it, but it's not great. 7/1011. Right For Me- I hate this song. 2/1012. Let's Take A Ride- I hate this even more. 1/1013. Never Again- This one's way too whiny. 3/10Justin's more talented than Britney. Overall though, the album wasn't spectacular. It was good.Overall- 7.5/10

More Moore, please
I don't care if you're rich or poor, liberal or conservative... you must have a sense of humor to appreciate Michael Moore. If you do, you'll like this. Does Corporate America abuse workers? Yes. Does Moore go over the top in bashing them (Corp. Amer.)? Definitely. But who cares? It's all in fun. Lighten up, folks. Other good books that bash institutions - NO ONE'S EVEN BLEEDING and DELANO

Horrible
This is absolutely one of the worst sequels ever. Now I absolutely love Halloween. I was so hyped for the sequel and after I saw it I wanted my money back. Jamie Lee Curtis wearing a really bad wig. The acting is horrible. Curtis conviently can't scream for help until workers are out of ear shot, then she screams bloody murder. The story is even worse. Some nurse figures it all out. Donald Pleasance repeats the same lines over and over. Every kid in the movie wears the same Halloween mask as the killer. I didn't know the mask was so popular. I can pick any point in this movie and absolutely kill it. Of all the many Halloweens THIS IS THE WORST ONE, and that's say alot!!!

Exciting adventure, with humor
This book is a wonderful story, featuring a new fantasy world and peopled with new characters. Usually I prefer the author's Vorkosigan novels -- but this book was great! The protagonist, Cazaril returns destitute to Valenda, in rags and injured after escaping as a galley slave due to betrayal. He is given a position as tutor to the princess Istelle and her companion Betriz. The intrigues, strategies, and divine intervention make a lively and interesting story. But this story has more than a good plot. Unlike a run of the mill sword and sorcery, here the characters are richly developed and the story is laced with humor. Parts of the book are very funny indeed. I read much of this book while stuck in an airport. I couldn't stop chortling, even though my fellow delayed passengers were giving me some strange looks. Buy this book! You won't regret it, it is a keeper!

Outstanding Solo Debute
I have been a Robin Trower fan for a long time. I liked him with Procol Harem but he's too good to be hidden in a band. This album is just outstanding. Daydream is an ethereal piece and his guitar has a velvety rolling edge to it. Being a guitar player myself I really appreciate his expertise. If you like later Robin Trower then you must have this album. It's different than Bridge of Sighs. Hanna and Ballerina are haunting tunes that stick in your head . An excellant CD to listen to while driving, or anytime. I highly recommend Twice Removed From Yesterday to any Robin Trower fans. This was the first Robin Trower album I ever listened to and it was the last one I bought. I have most of his albums on CD and Vinyl. Thanks Robin for timeless music.

What's all the fuss about?
This movie wasn't that great! It was way too long... I almost fell asleep at parts. The acting wasn't the greatest but wasn't bad! The Special Effects were pretty good, but that's not what makes a movie! I give a star for some fine performances, strong plot, and nice settings. But lose stars for mumbling at points, and overlength movie. 3 movies 3 hours long, for each, that is fregon long! I had a hard time sitting through one, imagine 3, good god! Too long for me! Maybe if you got nothing better to do for 3 hours at night, you could watch this. But if you don't, which most people don't, don't watch this! Plus, if you don't like fantasy, it's nothing special, save your money! Rent it, sure, but don't buy it! It's not bad but way over rated! Maybe when I was 10, I would have liked this, but I'm not! So, do yourself a favour and save 3 hours! It should be possible that one person wouldn't care too much about this movie!

IF YOU HAVE A BAD BACK OR TIGHT SHOULDERS BUY THESE BALLS!!!!!
I have a VERY bad back and in the last 6 months it was crippling on and off. I originally saw these at Costco and didn't buy them because I thought that they were a gimmick. But then I received them in the mail as my mother had bought them hoping that they would help me.. I was having a particularly painful morning when they were delivered to my door...what the heck I tried them out and the difference was immediate. I SWEAR BY THESE BALLS THEY REALLY ARE A MIRACLE!!!!! The only thing that might discourage people is that the spot you were using them on the first day will be painful to use the next day so just wait a day. Your body will get over it and the balls will get softer. BUT DON'T GIVE UP AND STOP USING THEM. DAY OR TWO LATER AND IT WILL BE LESS PAINFUL. My niece who also has a bad back used mine and loved them so I ordered them from Amazon for her. IF YOU HAVE A BAD BACK OR TIGHT SHOULDERS BUY THESE BALLS!!!!

BORING!!!
I found this book to be BORING & irritating, to say the least!! I can't believe it even got published!! Maybe its her money, ya think?? Its certainly NOT talent. My 15 year old nephew writes better stuff than this! WHO CARES about all these famous people she knows?? Almost none of them have anything to do with the story. Its almost like she mentions them just to make sure she lets you know she knows them! I, for one, could care less! Her dog isn't that funny either. Who cares if he pees on her foot? Maybe he's trying to tell her something!!!!!!!!!

A little hard to install under Windows 7, but woks well
I think the title says what needs to be said, however, this product was recommended by a vendor of astronomical equipment. The only requirement for the RS232 connector was that it work consistently and not be balky. This product meets that criteria, and has for many users of the other product. The only problem that I had was in the installation. I installed it on Windows 7. I also installed it on Windows XP. During the install under XP, I had no problems whatsoever, however, My first Windows 7 installed failed. The reason for this had more to do with Windows 7 quirkiness when installing certain kinds of software, more than it had to do with the Keyspan itself, but I am not sure of this. In the end, I went to the Keyspan website and downloaded the device drivers. That seemed to work better, and finally got my Keyspan installed. To be absolutely fair here, I have had install problems with Windows 7.Steve

This book is awful!
All the book is about is sex, sex, sex! Celie and her father, Celie and Mr. _____, Mr, _____ and Shug, Celie and Shug, and Celie by herself. It's revolting! Why do they let this book be read in school, yet they won't show movies or other books b/c of their sexual content. It's a joke! The whole plot of the story stinks! It's been way overused my society. And people can say all they want about me only looking at the outside, and not the in-depth reading of the book, but they're wrong! I understood what the book was trying to say, but it could've been said without the sex. Even without the sex, though, the book is awful. It's about nothing at all, really. They say that it's about a black woman's struggle, but that's not true. It's about how a black woman fell in love with her husband's lover, who was also a black woman.

Worst Silly Song Ever!
I just had to say that SUV is probably the worst Silly Song to date. I think they were going for a mock Meatloaf type style, mixed with Rice-Weber or something. Doesn't really hit a note with me. I like the fact it makes fun of SUVs and their common use of just going to pick up coffee at dunkin donuts. I understand where it is going, just it is so bad. The rest of the DVD, however, is fantastic! The Snoodles Tale portion is probably one of the most endearing stories I have heard from the Veggie Tales creators. Very touching! The animation in this segment, is very well done as well, and there is a piece on that describing what they did to make it so. More than makes up for the Silly Song being so terrible. Mr Jiggle and Mr Sly is wonderfully funny! My husband wonders though if fat kids at school will be called Mr. Jiggle, but I think if they do, then the watcher missed the point. I gave it only 4 stars because of the silly song.

My daughter loves this book. She is 7-years old. She kept reading this book for hours by herself and made the happy laugh all the time during the reading. I enjoy that moment.We have Junie B.Jones whole set books and viedos at home. They r my daughter first chapter book. And my daughter start her first jounal just like Junie B."Dear first grade Jounal...". She use Junie B.'s words all the time.

WHY EDITED?
I heard great things about this cd. however when i popped it in my player the 1st song was edited. i thought this must be a mistake because it had a parential advisory sticker. but the whole cd turned out to be edited. ALL SWEAR WORDS ARE REPLACED WITH ANNOYING RECORD SCRATCHES. i even bought another copy. they are all edited. DO NOT BUY THIS CD. or maybe buy the real edited copy. who knows???

absolute shi*t
This album is a comparable experience to changing my cat's litter box. Not only does it smell...but it takes too...long. If they worked at it, the members of this "band" could condense the message of all their songs on this CD to one song. There really is no variety to the messages in their songs. The only variation, and it is a slight one at that, is the first single: "liefstyles of the rich and the famous". God help me if I have to hear that song again. It is one of the most annoying...attempts at being punk coming from a pop band that I have heard in a long time. Consider the chorus: "lifestyles of the rich and the famous, always gold-plated, always gold-plated". The horrificness of these lyrics speak for themselves. If you came here looking for emotional lyrics, turn away and buy something like The Used or Thursday or Bright Eyes. If you thought this was punk, look to bands like Boy Set Fire or Rancid...

No Vibes Here
This product is not worth the money. I looks hot but does really nothing. Has no vibrating contol and almost no vibe at all. Nice color is all I can say about it. I would return this product if there was a way to do it. It was a real disappointment. This was our first purchase of sex toys. It had no reviews when we were shopping. That should have been my first clue. It is very boring and we tried to use it in a variety of ways and even replaced the battery. SAVE YOUR MONEY. It was expensive too!

Almost expired
Ordered these on August 16. Took the free shipping. The pills seem fine, as I took my first today (10-17-2012). I had some left from a different company so I used them first. After taking my first Nature Made Super Vitamin B Complex this morning, I was looking at the ingredients. Then I noticed that the expiration date for my bottle was October 2012. I thought what? I rubbed my eyes and the date was the same. So there it is -- Amazon sold me a bottle of 360 (not 300 as the info states on the site) and they would expire in 60 days! Not at all acceptable. It was old stock that should have been discarded. That is not how you treat loyal customers. Going to contact Amazon just to let them know.

AMAZING SOUND- kills bose or anyone else
This is a totally awesome product, one of many by Sony, i have yet to be disappointing. I have it on right now on volume 7 (out of 30) and its crystal clear. sounds perfect! louder volumes sound great! no distortion! I listen mostly to rock- right now i have 2 Def Leppard CD's and a Poison CD in the 3 disk changer (and yes im 16 and i love these bands). The sound is awesome on the Rock EQ setting. no haze in the background- just perfect clear music that sounds just like in concert! When listening to AM radio set the EQ to Jazz and any background fuzz is taken out. Simple Installation and simple operation! I love it!THE VERDICT= I'd buy this for $200 and they sell it for $100 ~~~ BUY IT you own't be dissapointed

Just re-read The Nanny Diaries instead
Loved The Nanny Diaries, but this book is just not worth it. The trite device of not giving the title character a name was the first really annoying affectation...and it went down hill from there. Didn't even bother finishing it. The non name thing worked in Nanny diaries as she was "the help" but why go back to that well? It's dry. Not in a good way either...." Girl "...really? REALLY? Augh.What happened? The Nanny Diaries was a great feminist chic lit book - a fun read but with depth. This read like a required term paper, but made less sense. Poorly drawn characters, lame plot devices...thin overall. Not believable for a minute. We all know that they can do better than this. Save your cash, get it from the library and then return it after chapter 3 when you realize that there is nothing there.

Good for 18 months
I've had one for some 18 months. It has great functions, although I didn't try the Virtual Partner - I don't believe that will work well because it loses GPS signal too often. And I jog in a park! Someone jogging around tall buildings will probably have more trouble. BUT, after some 18 months of not very intensive use (I usually jog outdoors only twice a week, since it rains a lot where I live), the unit went hayware. It started turning itself on and off repeatedly. It started in the middle of a night, waking me up with its beeps and only stopped when it ran its battery out. I emailed Garmin about this - no answer. Then I tried calling then up, but "all our representatives are busy, expect to wait for 15 to 20 minutes" and the international call would fall before that. Disgusted, I threw it away and plan to try some other brand. If you think that something that costs around 150 bucks should last only 18 months, go ahead.

not rideable
Neither of my children (up to 2 yrs) were interested in this. Poor design. The only use we got out of it was for one of them (at about 6 mo)to sit next to it and play with it. Otherwise, they never used it. It is not ride-able at all! Not sturdy enough as a walker. Too bad, it's cute! No educational value. Not worth the money! I gave mine away for free...couldn't bring myself to sell it to anyone. I would NOT recommend it!

Touchably Soft and Smooth
All I can say is WOW!!! This is a fantastic product. I used it dry for 3 days and was pleased with the job it did. Not as close as a razor, but pretty good. It does a great job under the arms and the bikini area. No irritation at all!!! It wasn't until I tried it with shaving cream and water that I found out what a close shave it really can do. My legs are smooth and soft just like silk. Very similar to the same closeness you get from a razor...with out the cuts, nicks and irritation. I love this shaver, I will never go back to the razor again. The only bad thing about it is the noise level. It can wake the whole house up...but it is worth it.

"Dick" is a "bitch"...
Moby Dick is not a fun book to read. The prose is old-fashioned, and that is partly what vitiates the pleasure (cf. Ivanhoe). Primarily, however, it is boring, plain and simple. There are endless digressions, and asides, and plot-sabbaticals. Very easy to put down. Undoubtedly an amazing intellectual feat to pull off (hence my five stars), but still...I'd estimate that 1% of high-schoolers assigned this book end up actually reading it. Can't blame them, either. To be fair, the last twenty pages, when Ahab and Starbuck have their final tete-a-tete, and Ahab famously snarls to his finned nemesis "From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!" do cause a frisson. And I don't regret reading the book...it's a great laurel to rest on, but I will never pick it up again. Eh, give 'er a go...if you finish it, you'll know that you're a man, not a boy.

Great purchase!
My wife looked at me funny when I said "this Keurig is the one I want." You see, we aren't coffee drinkers. I drink tea and mostly herbal at that. The feature I like is how fast I get a cup of brew! 3X faster than a microwave, 20x faster than the teapot. If I cut open a teabag and put it in the My cup filter, it is even faster than a hot water dispenser! I got the deal at C+stc+ and it came with 90 teas and coffee k-cups. I purchased a my-kap from my-kap.com so I could re-use the k-cups up to 20 times. The My K-Cup filter that came with the maker works quite well on loose tea. Guests gets their cup of coffee, fresh, I get my cup of tea fast and there is minimal mess. By the way, even if the thing is left "off", it takes less than two minutes to get ready. That's still faster than the microwave! Love it. Good job Keurig!

Typo's galore
Great story. Too bad the spelling errors (yes it passed a spell-checker but you know how that goes "..pretty certain he had the tight[right] man....". One or two were humorous. After 12 or more....ridiculous. Not to mention the absence of quotation marks to delineate the dialog of multiple characters. I had read dozens of the hardback Mason stories and was thrilled to see the come to e-format. Obvious transcription errors. Let me guess...this was out-sourced. True? Honestly, these are great short stories that are just fun to read. I hope these comments find there way to the publisher.

Bitter sweet!
Receiving my copy of this raisonne is bitter sweet. I should have read the previous review more carefully. While every lithograph, woodblock, linoblock and etching is LISTED in the text by title, year, edition number and size, only 62 prints are REPRODUCED in black and white. All reproductions are printed in small size, approx. 5" X 3". The print quality is very good as one can see small details. Sandzen left a large body of graphic works. I can only assume the publishers included his best western landscapes (mostly), botanicals, animals and portraits in this very slim volume. This is a shame because Sandzen was a major talent and influence as the short bio herein attests. A larger volume is warranted because he continues to be recognized as a leading printmaker/painter of a begone era (See Prairie Printmakers School and Broadmoor Colorado School). For now, I'll have to be satisfied with "The Graphic Work of Birger Sandzen.

Finally. . . a good wiper!
My car eats windshield wipers like no other. I'm not entirely sure why, but I've always had issues with my wipers not working well. They streak, they smear, the miss a spot. It's not good. I have to say that I'm really pleased with these guys. I've put them through their paces and my windshield is clean. No streaking, no missed spots, no smearing. I'd have to recommend them. Finally, a good wiper. I'm putting four stars because I'm reserving the fifth star to see how they hold up over the long run. And since there's not any snow right now we don't get to see how they perform in ice. Highly recommended.

Not so much
I don't like Christian Bale but because I like war movies I thought I would give it a try. The guy couldn't get rescued fast enough for me just so the movie would be over. The music score was awful, did nothing to help things along, if anything made the movie drag even worse. I could see what they were trying to accomplish in this film but for me they never quite got there. Simply tried too hard. Definitely felt like I was watching a Tom Cruise/Mel Gibson wanna be in regards to Bale. I found him irritating and obnoxious whether he was trying to be or not. Perhaps I would have liked it better w/someone else playing that role.It's quite the story and perhaps I would like the documentary better. At times the movie was cheesy, especially all the scenes w/his fellow pilots. UGH! Really wished I could have liked this movie. Rent it and save your money.

I really enjoyed this book
I have just finished reading this book. I enjoyed the book alot. The problem is with the character Powell. How can a guy be so blind about a female. I like the fact that Libby is a strong female character. In this book, it seems the roles of who usually warns who is switched. Grier is the chief, and he is hanging out with Tippy. The book said, that someone kidnapped her. My question is who, but I guess that is another book. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an excellent story to read. I was through the book, and it did not seem to drag at all.

Absolutely horrible
Burned one in my yoga room. I regret doing that very much. This smells like there was a fire in the room. Not a lovely scent like wood logs burning in the fireplace. Rather like pure acrid smoke. Yuck. The package looked like it had been damp at one time as it was misshapen turned hard as a rock in some places. The thin plastic covering over the box was stuck on in spots but dried to a crisp so difficult to remove. Just made me suspicious of the way it was stored. Didn't smell potent and fresh. But I burned it anyway and now have to air out my room for a few days.

Best So Far
Normally, every book in the series is about equal. This is the first book that really stands out.Plum is of course as good in this one as normal. It is nice to see Ranger having a bigger part in this book that earlier ones. He doesn't just show up to save the day, but works with Stephanie quite a bit. The addition of Kloughn to the regular cast of characters is welcomed. He definitely falls on the hapless side of her friends.The bad guys are more entertaining in this book that previous as well. The guy in the rabbit suit is, well, interesting. He seems as dangerous as any of the people who have tried to kill her in the past, but more interesting.The story is about what we've come to expect from the series. Through a series of luck breaks and coincidences, Plum stumbles her way through to success. Hapless but effective.This book is as funny as any of its' predecessors, and a little more interesting. For fans of the series, I would definitely recommend it.

This book has given me financial freedom
I was in a big mess. Without going into details - I owed almost $95,000, my yearly income is $45,000 before tax, and I am supporting a family of 3. I live in New York. My apartment rent alone is $1,100. Owed amount was getting bigger and bigger because of the interest. Obviously, I wasn't eligible any kind of loan.No money to hire an expert. I didn't have money to buy many different books. Luckily the one I picked was the right book. Now, I had the will and I had the right book. I owe only $7,000 now. My total credit limit from different credit cards is now $175,000. My bank is willing to give me loan. Didn't happen overnight or it didn't happen without any work on my part -- but it did work out with the help of this book.Thank you, Mr. Kelly.

Skeptical of new "toys"
As a lady "of a certain age" I was skeptical of the new toys in the marketplace. I received the kindle for Christmas and was AMAZED! It is as simple to use as a book with a lot more features. VERY easy to navigate. I love the sample reads which allow you to screen what it is you are buying. Plus you save a lot of money on books..some of them are FREE. That is really nice if you want to try something new. My only downer is that they did not add a low backlight to the screen as I like to read at night. I do not want another clip on as they slip and slide on books, I cannot imagine they would adhere to the kindle any better. There is a huge assortment of books which I appreciate. I cannot say enough about this product. What are you waiting for? Buy it NOW.

Nemo, YOU ROCK!!!
What in the hell was that reviewer doing complaining about violence in this movie? Have they even played a video game or watched their local news? If they're referring to Nemo's mother getting killed, well, (1) you don't see anything graphic and (2) death is a part of life. Anyways, Nemo is a great film, you should know that by now. This dvd really is fantastic as well. I highly recommend all of Pixar's movies (Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc.); they're just fabulous. One last thought . . has anyone wondered what is UP with Disney nowadays?! Brother Bear was pretty good, but if I hear about another sequel to some classic films . .

Umm...no
Alot of problembs with this game. The Storyline, battlestyle, movement, charachters, and play is VERY CONFUSING. I Seriously LOVED FFTactics, but this, this is just...no. You don't call this FF and let it go unnoticed. I used to be a dedicated FF fan, they all got booring though. Please, for everyone's sake, don't get hooked on the Final Fantasy series. You just waste your money and time. I suggest *Onimusha, Metal Gear Solid, or the Tenchu series*. They all have very good storylines and ALOT of in-your-face action. Anyways, FFT:A's graphics and music are the ONLY things I liked about it. Otherwise, I just plain disliked it.

no crashes here.
Played the whole game. It took me about 70 hours. Not one crash. Not a single glitch. I have Nvidea Gforce 4 Ti4400 graphics card. 1.2 AMD and 256 ram. It is a fantastic game. Probably the best I have ever played. The people that are experiencing the crashes must not have a computer that can run it. It is a huge game, comes with 4 CD's. It's awesome.

A very good camera for such a price
I have been enjoying this camera for almost 15 months now. Good thing is, it has various modes to take photos. Swivel screen is a real good thing when lot of people are obstructing your view. Though the screen size is small (1.5 inches). Its a nice camera for Point & shoot purpose & looks are pretty cool. Bad thing is - its a battery guzzler. I had to buy another battery so that I can use it for a full day, Thats why 4 stars. Controls are easy, gripping is easy, learning curve is short. It doesn't have a self lens shutter. You need to manually place the cap on the lens. I would recommend either buying a fast CF card or taking pics on 'Normal' with 5 MP combination, else it takes time between two consecutive shots. Overall a good camera, Nikon can still make it better. (I hope Nikon is listening)

What AFI Wishes They Could Be!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, here's the scoop. I had never heard this band until I saw them in concert with Linkin Park. They were great! The lead singer's voice was perfect and his screams were deafening. The guitarist and the bassist were doing flips over each other while playing and just putting on a hell of a show. I was instantly a fan. They even covered Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and nailed it. About a week after the show, I bought the cd. It is awesome! The first thing I thought when I heard it was, AFI wishes they could sound like this. If you can't tell, I despise AFI. SOTY has so much energy in their music it just pumps you up everytime. They worked really hard on this album and it shows. Go pick it up, especially if you like AFI so you can hear what their album is supposed to sound like. Peace!!!!!!!!!

My all time Favorite Movie
I watched this when i was little, and i am so glad to own it on dvd now. This movie is what inspired my lifelong habit of eating as much pizza as i can. When i was little everytime we ordered a pizza i would bring out this movie and stick it in the vcr. My parents, and grandparents never really complained, as the must have seen it hundreds of times already. But it never got old. This movie is everlasting, so what are you waiting for order a pizza and put on the movie. You wont be dissapointed.P.S. Beware people who dont like all those 80's & 90's words (Radical, Dude, Righteous etc..)Watch out because that is how they talk.P.S.S. This movie is also why my favorite color is green. I guess you can say this movie inspired a piece or two of my life. Pizza and green, and whatever else i might not realise.P.S.S.S. I know reviews are suppose to be about the actual thing, but seeing as this is my favorite i cannot say how much i like it without explaining the whole story.

Not my cup of tea (coffee!)
About a week or two after receiving this coffee pot it stopped working. Amazon promptly replaced it - thank you Amazon!! I do not care for this overall. To me it is not user friendly. I know it just a coffee pot. But where I have it placed on my counter I need to pull it out and turn it sideways to fill it with water. Also it states you can interrupt the brew cycle to pour a cup of coffee. You can't with the one I have. He keeps dripping. Also it has a lid that allows you to pour without twisting the lid. It pours to slow for my liking. My next coffee pot will not be a Cuisinart.

very poorly designed
This salad spinner is spins reasonably well, but the quality of the components is abysmal. In particular, the tabs one must press to separate the two top pieces are ridiculously poorly designed. I bought this salad spinner, managed to take it apart once, and then the second time I tried one of the tabs broke off. I bought it from Bed Bath & Beyond, which fortunately has a great return policy, so I just exchanged it for another. This time I knew how weak the tabs were, and so was very careful. I pressed lightly, and it would not release. Harder, would not release. Harder still, would not release. Very hard, released and broke in one movement. The margin between hard enough to release and hard enough to break is at best small and at worst non-existent.If you never clean it in the recommended fashion (disassembling the top lid), then you might find it adequate. Otherwise, avoid this piece of cheap plastic crap.

It's all based on what you like...
Personally, I find the reviews on this site to be Clay haters arguing with Clay fans, and vice versa. What I think needs to be done, is take a step back, and look at this CD in a different way.Do you like this CD? Obviously if you hate Clay, there's no way you're going to like this CD and that's that. If you love Clay, you aren't going to hate it.Look at it like this. This CD is all Clay. He puts his message, personality, and voice into the music. If that is what you like, then like it. If you don't, you don't. Don't be biased either way. Look at it from the middle point. We aren't getting anywhere arguing.Clay fans, buy this CD. You'll adore it.Clay haters, don't. You'll dispise it.

Disturbing
This is a very, very disturbing film, but also an excellent film. HK perennial psycho Anthony Wong plays Wong Chi Hang, the owner of the Eight Immortals Restaurant. After taking over the restaurant, the original owner and his family are reported missing. Hmmm! Also after he takes over the restaurant, it is known for having the best BBQ Pork Buns in Macau. Hmmmm! This film propelled Anthony Wong to one of the top stars in Hong Kong. The only thing that keeps this film from receiving a full 5-star rating is actor Danny Lee. Lee plays his role as the Chief Inspector for laughs and it just doesn't work. The video transfer is excellent. Tai Seng Video even uses their own yellow-letter subtitling to make the subtitles easier to read. Overall, a great version of a great film.

Married with Children
As soon as I foud out that Married with Children is comming out on DVDs I preordered it. I usualy don't buy and sitcoms on DVDs specialy a long runners like Cheers (11 seasons). To much of a pain to try to get all 11 seasons and then find a place for them. But with Married with Children its different. Same 11 seasons, but I don't care. In fact I wish there were more of them. Some say that the last few seasons were weak. Not true. The show changed. It became different but it didnot get worst. So this is season 1. That's where everything started and we meet the Bundies and the Darsies. Lets the fun times begin.

Great Book! True Story!
Great book! I met one of the pilots this book is written about. I found out that he only lives about 20 miles from me. He also signed my book! What an amazing story of courage and skill and terror! This book is well written. My only complaint is that I wish I hadn't bought the book from "Bookmans Exchange" on Amazon. It was supposed to be "Like New" and when I received it, the book looked in "poor" shape, very yellowed with writing on the outside of the book. It was NOT AT ALL "Like New" as Bookmans Exchange had said. Don't buy from them. However the book is great and even better because now I know one of the pilots that it was written about. They have a terrifying, captivating story to tell. They are blessed to be alive after what happened to them! Buy the book from a reputable dealer on Amazon.

HORRID
Only good songs on this CD are the ones eveyone has heard already (Deja Vu and Ring The Alarm.) Irreplaceable will probably be the next single. It is ok. The rest of the songs are so juvinile in the songwriting area. Not much thought behind them and the worst song on this entire CD infact the worst song Beyonce has ever recorded is FREAKUM DRESS. This song has no melody, no good beat. Sounds like an 8 year old wrote the music and a toddler wrote the words. I would give this CD one star. Only thing that saves it from getting a 0 is the fact that two of the songs on the CD are better than average and close to excellent. Do not buy this CD sight unseen ( I mean without listening to it yet.) Does not have mass likeability. There is a 70 per cent chance most people will find that there are not enough good songs on this CD to justify buying it.

Uncomfortable to the point of unusable
It is a headset, so first and foremost, it must be worn on your head and this is where this headset fails. It is sized for a child, perhaps, but no normal adult will find it comfortable to wear for any period of time. The size is just too small and so it is too tight. I stretched mine out a bit, but by the end of the day, it is pinching again. Also, the gap for the top of your ear is very small and it starts to pinch there too, that is, if you can wear it long enough for it to start hurting your ears. I had a product very similar to this one (Logitech 981-000074 880 PC Headset) and it was much more comfortable. The mic broke and so I figured I'd get another model. This one looks like the next logical step. It is a step, a step backwards. The sound quality is good, but that all seems secondary to the fact that it is too uncomfortable to wear for any period of time. I would not recommend this product.

Beware
1. The table locks are a poor design.2. Impossible to get/keep in adjustment.3. Mine had very bad run out on the disc. This made it next to impossible to get a flat surface on your work piece. When I called Grizzly and complained they said "send it back and we will fix it". I did (at my expense) and they sent it back and said they found it to be acceptable. I did not and had a machine shop make me a new disc. Cost me over $200.00. I wish I would have just thrown it away and used that money toward a good one, since I'm still unhappy with it because of the other problems. I have about $350.00 invested.4. After a few months the switch broke. It broke in the on position so at least I can still use it. I just have to turn it on and off with a power strip.5. I hate any tool that does not work well, add in the poor service and I am bitter.Note: None of these problems have any reflection on Amazon, my beef is with Grizzly

Megatripolis to the max2060211
Pop in the first disc, titled simply "Dance CD". Starts off kinda weird, you're not sure if you like it. Then it picks up and you feel it, you don't know why you didn't like it before. It keeps going. It doesn't stop. The mixing artist, Richard Grey, has taken 11 tracks or so and blended then PERFECTLY to create ONE peice of music. The flow is really just amazing. One climax after another. It gets better and better and you listen.Pop in the second disc, titled simply "Ambient CD". It immediately puts you in a better place. I can safely say that when I hear this music, I feel like I'm swimming with dolphins.I forget what the third CD is like.Just try your hardest to get this. It's the shiz.

Simply Dreadful...
Rupert can be such a funny and wonderful actor--e.g. in the recent magical version of AN IDEAL HUSBAND. But Oscar Wilde is not Arthur Conan Doyle. And, Rupert, you are no Jeremy Brett here. Not that he really had to be. But to play Sherlock--pastiche or not--with absolutely no intensity, no intellectual vigor, no excitement--is to kill the main characteristics of Holmes. Rupert seems to be slumming here--lots of posing and looking mournful--and makes the detective the last thing he should be...ordinary.A well-mounted production in many senses. Good character actors in support. A modernized story with fingerprinting and sexual perversion. But, without a believable Holmes, who cares? To make matters worse, Watson and Holmes seem much too young here. Watson is too short.

HEAVEN
I LOVE this pillow. I have 30 weeks pregnant.. I'm usually a stomach or side sleeper.. I bought it so I woudln't roll to my back because I usually find myself in that position middle of the night.. I read some of the reviews and debated because of the seam being uncomfortable, etc.. but I thought.. what the heck.. This is HEAVEN! SO comfortable.. It feels like someone is wrapping their arms around you and just snuggling tight. Not too firm, not too soft. It fits just fine in our king size bed. The pillow is Big, but doesn't take room away from my husband. Not sure where to put it yet after making the bed... but that is something I'm willing to deal with for this piece of heaven. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but still worth it. I was very glad to have purchased it. The kids are begging to have it when I'm done with it :-)

Can't beat good popcorn
This book is about a little Dragon named Dexter and the day he realizes he can make clouds of smoke come out of his nose. When he sees his friend's, Dexter begins showing off. But soon Dexter becomes unbearable. First he watches his own reflection in the river in order to admire the smoke. Then he puffs it in the faces of his friends. His friends decide that they don't want to play with him anymore. Dexter becomes very sad and runs into the cornfield. He falls asleep there and when he wakes up, he is surrounded by popcorn... I liked this book for two reasons: the pictures and the moral behind the story. The author does a very good job of getting across the fact that nobody likes a show off. The illustrations in this book are very colorful and go along with the story very well. I think it is a great story to use to teach children a good lesson about friends.

Pure tenor lead, minor chord harmony & nasty guitar!
I smile everytime I remember trying to muffle the radio under my pillow as a teenager in Houston back in the mid-50's. If my folks heard those lyrics, they would take the radio away forever! Then the media did an absurd thing: they banned 3 of the best songs, "Work With Me Annie", "Sexy Ways" and "Annie Had A Baby". Of all the nerve! One night several of my friends & I went to see The Midnighters play at Houston's El Dorado Ballroom. We were white guys during this most segregated of times, and the El Dorado Ballroom was for Black's. But they let us in anyway. The guitar player for The Midnighters was my idol: Cal Green. He started wailing on about a 10 minute solo and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Man, he was good. In Houston there were 2 excellent radio stations that played R&B: KYOK (DJ's - Dizzy Lizzy, Hotsy Totsy) and KCOH (DJ's - King Bee, Lonnie Rochan). What a time. What music. Sid Leake

American Psycho 2
THIS FILM IS AN ABOMINATION!!! If you have any respect for the work of Bret Easton Ellis, Mary Harron, or Christian Bale, you will not subject yourself to this filth. Everything that was exciting, funny and intriguing about the first film is gone. I want everyone who loved the amazing first film or the great book to consider this film a personal insult. Any and every trace of the social commentary and significance of American Psycho has been wiped clean away. What we are left with is a straight slasher flick, and a poor one at that. I only wish that there was a rating lower than 1 star. I wish there were ratings in the deep negatives. i wish i could give this film a rating that reflected the 88 minutes it stole from my life. This film is a defamation of the Title "American Psycho." Erase it from your memory. Deny its very existence.

Disappointment
After the several books that I have read involving Dragonlance, I expected more of this seminal series. I had hope. The second book had some potential. This book dashed those hopes, and squandered that potential. The characters are entirely too transparent. If I have to hear one more time how kenders never feel fear, but in that instance Tasselhoff felt something that equates to fear, I swear I'm going to scream. Raistlin is so ambitious for power that he has to constantly remind everyone, including the reader, of this, and oh yeah, by the way, he's Fistandantilus. What? Could that have come from any farther out in left field?This series is a poor example of Fantasy writing. The only reason that this book rates two stars is that it may serve as a whirlwind introduction to the world of Dragonlance. However, a book of short stories could have served that purpose better.All in all a disappointment.

Bad scanner
I got this unit about two months ago. As other users have indicated with their units, my scanner has begun making a shrieking sound which is quite unbearable. The unit never scanned very well, and now it barely scans at all. This HP product is very attractive and well priced, but what does that mean if a piece of hardware is poor? It took me a while to figure out that the scanner was making the shrieking sound. I thought my computer was dying. I've had many scanners and never encountered anything like this before. Reading reviews here and elsewere has actually confirmed my suspicions that this is some type of design defect. I used an Agfa SnapScan 1212u for almost 8 years without a problem. I "upgraded" because I wanted a faster (USB-2 as opposed to USB-1) scanner, and a unit that had slide and film transfer capabilites. This scanner was never much faster than my Agfa and the quality is on much, much lower. Terrible. I would advise anyone reading this to buy another product.

Josh Groban doesn't shine at the Greek
I bought Josh Groban's Live at the Greek DVD set for my wife and we watched it before Christmas. Like so many others here, we were quite shocked by his voice problems. We were equally shocked by his radically changed performance style. It captures elements of Pop, Rock, Classical and something else I can't exactly define. All of this is background for classical styled vocals? No wonder so many fans are confused. We were also. We were also disappointed that Groban has performed older songs in such a different way as to be unrecognizable. "Canto Alla Vita" is the worst, beginning with a eardrum-popping keyboard solo and ending with yet another eardrum-popping drum solo by Groban. While the crowd seemed to be taking all this in with enthusiastic madness, those of sitting at home were just staring at each other in shock. Poorly sung and badly done.

It's wonderful for maybe a month if you are lucky!
I bought this blanket in November. I loved it. It was pink. It was so nice & soft & warm. At about 4 weeks it started blinking E3. You have to turn it off & hope it will come back on in a while. Then within a week it starts blinking E4. Then it never works again. Costumer service is real nice. You send it back at your own expense and they send you a new one. Well my third one broke, I'm not paying to send it back. I emailed them to refund my money. Hope they do. Their product is defective. DO NOT BUY IT!!

Didn't Work for Me
I'm a huge fan of Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther series. I have and repeatedly watch all 5. Wanting more of the same, and after reading glowing reviews here, I ordered The Party. Halfway through, I just wanted to put us both out of our misery, but I persevered to the end. Ugh. I think I laughed outloud once or twice. Mostly, I just felt uncomfortable and wondered what was supposed to be funny about each scene. Trust me, I'm not politically correct. His portrayal of an Indian was just fine by me. It's more that the situations the hapless character found himself in made him seem more pitiful than funny--and not endearingly pitiful as Clouseau can be. I must be missing something. Maybe another view will hit me differently. But I'm in no hurry.

Great for those older computers.
I owned Windows ME from 2000 to 2005 (when I upgraded to Windows XP Home Edition SP2). My computer came with ME pre-installed. Not as stable as Windows XP. Only ever crashes when you don't defrag, spy ware scan, virus scan and reg clean. If you do this daily - weekly. You will be running more stable. I'm not exactly sure why Microsoft released this operating system so close to Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I think it is because of a delay in XP causing ME to be a force release. A bit like a XP Beta. Id recommend it to anyone but if you're looking for that extra piece of stability, performance and not looking for the blue screen of death id recommend XP.Minimum requirements states:150MHz PII32MB Memory2GB Hard diskMy Recommended Minimum is700MHz Celeron, 600MHz Pentium III or equivalent256MB Memory20GB Hard Disk Drive (5400RPM)That is also enough power for Windows XP. Although on XP I do recommend 512MB Memory rather than 256mb.

Worthless
"Belle de Jour" is widely acclaimed as a masterpiece. I would like to know: by whom? Certainly by nobody with high self-esteem. If art's highest purpose is to project life as it ought to be, then, according to this film's creators, life ought to be seen as dispensable, drab, meaningless, and amoral. What is virtue? "Belle de Jour" doesn't know and doesn't care. What is coherent plot and characterization? "Belle de Jour" puts on a blindfold and pins a tale on neither. What sort of role best suits a stunningly beautiful actress? "Belle de Jour" says let's stick Catherine Deneuve in a pillory of an ugly, thankless role and spit at her as a self-loathing, self-deluded prostitute. What is "Belle de Jour"? Worthless.

Modern-day retelling of Pilgrim's Progress
I read this book back in the late '70's, and found it quite enjoyable. Recently I found it in my stash of old books, read it again, and was pleased to see that it held up quite well. Mr. Wirt's style is similar to that of C.S. Lewis. In fact, if you have read and enjoyed Lewis' "The Great Divorce" or other similar books, you will enjoy this too. It is a "modern" (well, '70's!) retelling of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." You don't have to have read that book to enjoy this one (I hadn't, the first time through), but on the other hand, if you haven't read "Pilgrim's Progress" and are worried about it, read this one first and it will help you a lot! (Oh, and P.S. - it is definitely told from the viewpoint of an Evangelical Protestant - and I'm a Catholic, so naturally disagreed with a few little nitpicky things - but I still enjoyed it! so there!)

Great, Beyond Belief
Like most Black women, I am a fanatic about books, especially OUR books. Men Cry in the Dark was a story I needed to read mainly, because I needed to know if men really did cry. All too often you get used to the dog mentality that you face on the dating scene, but this book restored my belief that Black men should be valued for their gifts and strengths. The characters were so real and had real-life dramas. I have recommended this book to everyone I know. I also love to see Black men reading. Finally, there's a book out here that gives the male prospective for them. It's something I've been missing in my readings of other African-American novels. Brothers are tired of hearing only about the dilemmas that face that Black women and so am I. Thank you, Michael for bringing males issues to the surface. Never stop writing, if no one else reads your books, I DEFINITELY will.

Great desk mount
I bought this mount at the same time as my purchase of the new BenQ G2400W monitor. And, despite what others are saying about its ability to hold monitors of certain weight, it is doing just fine with the 24" BenQ right now. I also took off the extension, as others have. My desk just didn't warrant it. The clamp holds tight to the desk. The mounting plate worked perfectly. And its great looking. There really isn't much bad I can say about it. Although it isn't a "negative" really, I wish there was some other method for cable management. As is, it works fine. And, no one ever sees behind my monitor really. But, I just wish there were a cleaner way to route them. But, that is a bit nit-picky. It really is a fantastic mount. And the price is just fine. All in all, a great piece.

Art Imitates Death...
I watched CELLAR DWELLER online, in order to find out why it's never had an official DVD release. Well, after seeing it, I believe I know the answer. This movie is late 80s / early 90s cheeeze at its most pungent! The plot: a comic illustrator joins an artist colony (run by Yvonne De Carlo!), and discovers that her work calls forth a demon that kills and eats the other colonists. Now, I know that makes it sound like a masterpiece, but trust me, it ain't! First off, the demon is an overly-cute, seven foot pile of rubber. It inspires no fear, and gives hell itself a bad name. The only reasons I bumped this one up a star are 1- it contains the most idiotic, ridiculous piece of "performance art" ever filmed! And 2- The ending veers wildly from eye-rolling wimp-out, to downbeat, "twist" ending. After witnessing this, I'm surprised it made it onto VHS format. P.S.- For all Jeffery Combs addicts, he's only in the beginning for about four minutes...

TEAC R2 Premium Edition AM/Mono Clock/Radio
This radio was a disappointment. The radio was bought by an elderly woman who can't manage "newfangled" radios with multiple functions, etc. This satisfies that requirement but it fails in other ways. For instance, the tuning dial does not display what station is being played. It is purely hit and miss. Once you find a station you like, you'd better just leave it there - little hope of ever finding it again. Also, we had trouble finding stations that would come in properly without a lot of static. Once the radio is tuned in, it does not stay that way. Occasional tweaking of the dial is necessary. Also, this was advertised as a clock/radio. There is no clock, unless you can call the timer function (totally useless!) a "clock." This radio is a big disappointment and if the original box had not been thrown away, this radio would have been returned.

One of the fish's name is 'Gill'...
Okay, naming one of the fish's 'Gill' is so basic, and lazy, and just flat-out pathetic. Hey! Kind of like the movie itself! That's like calling an elephant 'Trunk', or a tiger 'Stripes'... uh oh, I'm giving Pixar more ideas for their NEXT "masterpiece". I know what to expect. Some kid being lost and someone trying to save him and get him back to his family. Case in point, Finding Nemo is basically just chase after chase after chase after chase after CHASE! Guess it's tough being a fish. They need to get Nemo back to his dad! Much like the monsters had to get Boo back to her family in Monsters Inc. Much like the Sloth and Mammoth had to get the baby back to it's family in Ice Age (non-Pixar movie). Much like the toys getting back to Andy in Toy Story. Much like... oh well, you get the point. Oh yeah, wasn't Dinosaur about getting someone back to its family too? Heh. Lame and boring.

High level of maturity needed absolutely. Great movie!
Most people won't understand the heartbreak of being pregnant and abandoned. I never see any movies that try to deal with this type of personal tragedy. If you can imagine the pain that Rosanna Arquette's character is dealing with, you can enjoy this movie. The pain of giving a child up must be severe. This poor girl has no one to talk to but brainless idiots and a friend who tries to understand. Did she grow up with no one to care for her? The father of the child marries some rich girl while Arquette's character is still pregnant. OUCH! This type of heartache is something that young women should make it their business to avoid. Watch it and learn. Please.

Great flashlight
Fits great in the hand and surprisingly lightweight, well balanced. I do like the included strap for hands free operation; with the swivel head you can point it where you need it while it is slung over your shoulder. For those who complained about the strap--don't attach it. Battery compatibility was not a problem either. My compact 18V 1.5 Ah Li-ion battery fit perfectly with no need to punch out an insert. It uses the A-90261 bulb, which is described as a Xenon bulb on Makita's web site. It produces an amazing amount of light. For $18.25 what a good value. Replacement bulbs are reasonable, $4.79 with free shipping from Northern Tool. Too soon to need bulbs, but good idea to be prepared. They will probably break if the flashlight is jarred or dropped during use.
