NOT ANOTHER 1!!!
Heres another cd that umm... I don't know... sucks!!! maybe. All the songs on here suck ecept 1 called (Mesa Que Mas Aplauda). I mean it this cd reaks!!! There again I wanted a song and I thought the cd would be good but listining to the song clips to the other songs they sound so weak. Man it's like these people do a great song so they will become popular but then the other songs they do are crapy. Many artist are like this they just want to becaome popular for a song or to and make the rest of the cd sound horrible. Weird if you ask me wouldent you want people to like all your stuff not just a song or two. In this case only 1 song. I'm telling you the music these days!!! Well not worth it!!! Keep your money!!! Get somthing else. As for the final words on this album pity!!! trash!!! not worth it!!! i'm out el rato!!!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE
Please, for the love of everything holy do not buy this software. NEVER, in all of my life have I used a more buggy, uncooperative, slow, randomly crashing piece of software. Yes, I updated all the drivers. Yes, I attempted, fruitlessly to update the software. Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything I possibly could. I had such high hopes for this software. The only thing out of all the features and sub-programs that I could get to work was the MyDVD program. It crashes constantly but I used it (because I was desperate) to create a Christmas present DVD for my family members. After endless hours of frustratingly trying to create the DVD, I go to burn it and plug it in and the video is distorted and pixelated. I try again. Tweak the settings. Nothing. Same thing. Argh! Worthless!!!

A Kitten MUST!!!
I couldn't be happier with this product...if only the "perch" I purchased with it were better. The scratching post itself is AWESOME! I have a 6 month old kitten, as well as a 3 month old kitten. They LOVE the scratching post. It is a "kitty" essential that actually looks somewhat bearable in your home--a much nicer design than most kitty toys, "condos" and "trees." (My husband was completely against any kind of "tower," "condo," or "tree.") However, the "Perch" I talked about earlier, is almost a must if you purchase the stand. Don't you want your kitty or kitties to be able to lay on the "tree" they just climbed??? The perch sucks. You can easily attach it to the post you just purchased, however, a week or so of just one kitten (had this months before the "newer" kitten came along), the perch was coming detached. Now, a couple months later, the perch is completely detached. I am now looking into other ways to attach it more permanently myself.

Great Sound - Extremely Poor Packaging
I bought this remastered version to replace my original copy that I have had since it came out. It's a great CD and I have played it many times over. You have to ignore the reviews that bash it because they are trying to compare the music to Led Zeppelin. Of course it sounds like Led Zeppelin. That's where the influence comes from. Is the music as good as Led Zeppelin? Of course not. But it is awesome music from a band that rocked. My big hang up with this new remastered release is the poor packaging, it is about as bland as can be. There are no album credits or liner notes anywhere. Doesn't even list the members of the band anywhere or say who produced it. Looks like I will be keeping my original copy and trading in this new unprofessionally packaged remaster.

2nd one didn't hold up well, either.
I love the form factor of this thermometer. The backlit display and large numbers and it's easier to hold than a normal digital thermometer. To test accuracy, I did underarm readings and just added 1 degree, and this calculation always came up to match accurately with rectal temps of the hospital's digital thermometers. So that's why it gets at least one star. Looks neat and is accurate and consistent.My problem is that the first one I bought died after about 2 months. I replaced the battery, and still nothing. So I bought a 2nd one. I've barely used the 2nd one, but less than 6 months later it's not working, either. I don't have the patience or the energy to find another battery and go through it all again, so it'll probably just wind up in the trash. Stick with the $5 BD brand digitals (like they use in hospitals). I have one almost 7 years old now and it's never given me problems...just takes a bit longer for the reading sometimes...

This is Grady Tripp's Runaway Novel
Chabon's "Wonder Boys" was a fantastic novel. Read it. (The movie adaptation was also excellent.) In it, professor and author Grady Tripp is writing a novel that runs to several thousand pages with no sign of ending. He cannot control what does and does not go in or focus on a through-line.Although only 656 pages, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" is Chabon's runaway novel. If you are very interested in comic books, there is a good 200 page novel in there somewhere. If you are very interested in World War II era Eastern European refugess and their lives in the United States, there is a good 200 pages of that in there somewhere. But as it stands, they are not worth digging out of "Kavalier & Clay".Chabon has done some excellent work and has been very successful. And most authors have a great investment in their work. But Chabon's editor needs to stand up more firmly. In the meantime, read (or re-read) "Wonder Boys".

much better product than Microsoft
I had the MS finger print reader for about a year but stopped using it a while ago because I rarely use IE. Firefox doesn't work with the MS device. There was suppose to be a patch but it didn't work either. This device is excellent. I would consider this the best computer tech device I have on my desk and I have quite a lot. I love the bright blue logo in front. I have it mounted next to my keyboard. Once swipe and I can go to my favorite site already logged on, or I can swipe when I want to log on to some where. The application launching is great as well. Overall, easy to install and easy to use. No hiccups so far.

Piece of cake to make pasta
Got this brand and model after reading reviews by other satisfied purchasers. They were right - it is very easy to make homemade pasta. The only difficult part for me was "catching" the pasta on the other side of the cutter. I rolled out strips that were just too long and getting them from the machine to the drying rack in one peice was quite a challenge. Next time I'll cut the strips to about 12" before cutting. In addition to this machine, I bought the Marcato Atlas Pasta Drying Rack and hung the strips on it to dry for just a bit before cooking. Without the rack I woould have really been in trouble. (After cutting, the pasta wants to rejoin and it was important to get the strips separated before too much time had passed.) My recipe came from a book called, "Making Artisan Pasta". It was very helpful for a beginner and the basic recipe is very good. My next challenge will be flavored pasta and perhaps a homemade sauce.

Damn this sucks
This game is actually pretty horrible. I am far into it, and it seems like it's getting worse. I think SquareSoft(Enix) has gone to crap. They keep making games worse. In ten 2, they change the characters personalities way too much. Yuna drops her spiritual beliefs and becomes a singer. How dumb is that! There also aren't too many new enemies, they look kinda the same. You also can only use three characters, and they all are chicks. No offense, chicks can fight, but you always need a badass guy (like Auron) to be there. To Square Enix, change your name back because it was sweet. Also stop making dumb sequels that don't make sense with the original. Stop making FF XI, cause I'm pretty sure that it will suck. Leave the online adventures to Everquest (which I don't like anyways). The best idea I can suggest is to remake FF VII for the PS2 with advanced graphics and gameplay, but keeping everything else the same. That game was the best.

25 year veteran walker here
I've been walking since I was about 16 years old (I'm 44) before walking was popular. Back then, we didn't have these nifty gadgets that I knew of. Anyway, this is my 2nd Omron. I lost the first one. Both are excellent and make me excited to walk. Cuz lets admit it: sometimes you just don't want to go! But with my headset, and my Omron I get through all six miles. The excitement is seeing all those steps add up! And this one is incredible: it calculates how many FAT calories you've burned. My heart rate monitor doesn't even do that! It really is a great little gadget with this software program. I kept a log daily via Excel. Now I just download it into my laptop and its all calculated for me. How rewarding is that? I lost over 115lbs 24 years ago through hard core walking and proper nutrition so I wouldn't go a day without my Pedometer. It's like my 'best friend' when I walk. If it could talk I'm sure it would be cheering me on! Worth the money.

Merkur double edge blades
After 40 years of shaving the quick way I decided to try it the way my dad did it. Much more challenging and fun. Turns a chore into an experience. The Merkur blades (to match the Merkur Futur DE Razor) work extremely well. Not a single nick and not bad for a novice. Great shave. That is in comparison to the Feather blades (made in Japan) that I felt compelled to try because almost everyone acknowledges they are extremely sharp. It is true that they are much sharper and the shave is incredibly smooth. But I did cut my myself in about ten places without knowing it. Too much for me to handle without more practice. Go with the Merkur blades, platinum coated made in Germany. Buy an expensive razor and have fun shaving.

Appealing, but misses the mark
I really like the idea of this book. Unfortunately, the illustration of the authors' ideas does not work for me. It seemed that they were trying to attach too much emotional energy to a sub-modality which could then simply be re-arranged in one's mind and presto! everything was cured. In a lot of ways the book ended up trying to be a quick-fix. This method might work with getting children to overcome their fears, but I think adults are a little more complicated. It's a nice beginning but the too-nice ending gives the book a 'slimey' feel. Either that or very new-age. Hocus-pocus. Just follow these instructions and out come blueberry muffins! If life were that easy, it would be a very cliche and boring place.

wow.
wow. i read the great siege for a critical book review in world history class, and it sure was boring. it may have been the worst book i have skimmed, ever. i suppose it's because it isn't my hobbie or occupation, so i don't find the information compelling. but seriously, i couldn't stand it. i'm sure i got a horrible grade on the review too. i'll admit it looked nothing like this, but i wish it had. don't buy it. if you do, throw it away. you'll thank me. good luck to those finding an alternate, i'm sure this book won't be hard to replace.

Time to play the Game, Wooo!
This was the best Royal Rumble(the match itself)in years. I had the pleasure of being there in person, there was nothing like it. This year the rest of the card was better than the 2001 Rumble PPV, but was sort of weak. With the exceptions of Vince McMahon vs. Ric Flair, and 'Living Legend'and first undisputed WWF champion Chris Jericho vs. The Rock: both of these were appentizers for the meal. The tag team title match of Spike Dudley and Tazz (c) vs. The Dudley Boyz was ok, but too short. The Intercontentental match between Willam Regal vs. Edge (c) was ok but not as good as their Vengeance match. And the Women's title bout between Trish (c) and Jazz was again ok and short. Overall this ppv was great, even better being there. The DVD is great, and actually has extras!!! I recommend this dvd, or Armaggedon 2000 ppv, which I also attended!

Works great, doesn't last long
I'll start by saying that these stones are the best grill cleaner I have found. They easily and quickly clean off the grime and bring my grates down to shinny metal.The negative is that they do not last long. I have a very large grill and I only get one cleaning out of a stone. They quickly disintegrate. Other reviewers have stated that they last for several cleanings. This is simply not my experience. Now, I do not clean my grill after every use. I only clean it when it is very dirty. So, it takes some scrubbing. If I used them to clean up the small spots every time I grilled they would last much longer.Are they worth it? Yes. They work much, much better than a wire brush. $3 for a clean grill is expensive, but worth it.Be sure you spray down your grates after cleaning as they will be covered in stone dust.

great product
Let me first say that for the past few years I have straightend my hair because I did not know how to deal with my curly hair. Always frizzy, course and just plain unruly. Well I recently had my haircut by a Ouidad Stylist and she suggested this gel. I will tell you it is VERY expensive. But, so far worth it. This by far beats everything that I have underneath my bathroom sink. I normally would not spend this much on a hair product, but this is the first time in a long time that I don't feel the need to straighten my hair to make it look presentable. Apply this gel to soaking wet hair. Do not towel dry. Make sure to section your hair and coat every strand for perfect, frizz free curls. Your hair needs to be very wet when applying. What I really like about this gel is even if you over apply, your hair does not feel crunchy like most gels. Dry your hair with a diffuser if you do not have time to air dry. You will wind up with beautiful, soft looking curls. I am loving this stuff.

One star but shouldn't get any
More difficult than shoveling, but with the added bonus of being slower than shoveling as well. This machine won't work in snow above 4". It won't throw snow to the side. It hasn't the power to pitch snow more than a couple feet. It's tiny wheels ice up and become useless within minutes. I just can't stress how poor this machine is for someone who needs a snow blower. It works only on paved level surfaces in snow that is light. Heavy snow or uneven surfaces, forget about it. My father purchased this machine. Total waste of money. It does start easy, I give it at least that. But you have to use a mix. It smells bad, it is very loud, and frankly, I wouldn't give $10 for it if he offered it to me. Very, very poor product.

Signs, signs everywhere are signs.....
This movie was a disappointment. I heard much hype of how "thilling" of a movie it was and scary. Not so in either case. This movie's plot is not plausible. Now, now, the aliens COULD invade, I'm not saying that. I'm saying who in their right minds would decide to stay in an isolated home, miles from anywhere, and "wait" for the invasion to happen? Who? I would go for the safety in numbers theory if I were in their shoes. Also, there really is a slight build-up, but the climax is anti-climatic. Mel Gibson stars only to give it a "big name". His performance is average.

a wonderful little collection
This is a fantastic collection of poems. Ferlinghetti did a fabulous job translating these poems into English. Jacques Prevert is a greatly neglected French poet who spoke volumes with his verse. This bilingual edition is a great gift for any lover of poetry. Poems like Pater Noster and Flowers and Wreaths are beautiful verses. Prevert is simple in language but amazingly poignant at his best. He knew the value of directness. These poems are like little jewels of human wisdom. Human Effort, I Am As I Am, Song of The Jailer, etc. There are many highlights in this book. This often maligned, overlooked poet deserves to be reread today. Many who give this book a couple honest reads will probably be impressed by the sheer poetic wonder of this volume. I would state that because it is bilingual, students of the French language might also find value in finding the translations en face with the original. This is a great package all around.

Perfect gift for person with new puppy
I am a mom of four children aged 15, 9, 6, and 4 years. I was asked to purchase this for a new mom baby shower gift. Before gifting to the new mommy, I took a look and got sucked in to finish reading. I was astounded at some of the advice given. Only would be useful if you want to train up your baby in the way you might train a puppy, then this is the one for you. This is not a good gift for a person interested in gentle parenting or someone having their first child. I suggest a more rounded parenting guide such as one by Sears or Brazelton. A baby is not a Pup to housebreak and fit into your routine. Your life will change when you have kids and your routine will change too. This book gives the unrealistic expectation that you can somehow mold your baby's personality into your lifestyle by following her schedule. Before buying, take a look at the other parenting top sellers out there.

Great unit, highly recommend it.
Bought to replace an ancient Chamberlain unit that was still working, but the door had been upgraded at some point to a heavier insulated unit and we could tell it was struggling to lift it. Plus we had only one remote opener that was the old flip the code numbers inside style, so that was a pain to find a second opener that worked. So...we decided to get a 21st century unit. We love this opener! Many nice features, especially the safety features for small kids that could get stuck underneath a closing door. Also the indoor control has a motion sensor that turns on the light when you step into the garage. The old door lift had none of that. Taking down the old unit and doing the new install was 4 1/2 hrs. That was with myself and a handy friend. We both are fairly good at doing odd jobs, very adept, so to those that said it was up in an hour...hats off to that! But I can highly recommend this opener.

I Should Have Read the Reviews
I expected this to be a rubberized "all over magnet". Instead it's a piece of plastic with a tiny round magnet glued to the back. So far it seems to stick to the dishwasher door, but it's always tipped sideways. Certainly not anything very great. Just a cheap dollar-store item priced way too high for what it is. At least the shipping was free with my Prime membership.Update - July 2012 - Shortly after writing the above review, the plastic part of the magnet completely fell off my dishwasher, leaving the little round magnet behind. We have tried to put it back together multiple times and it continues to fall apart when left on the warm dishwasher. The only solution is to remove it from the door when it's in use. Who remembers to do that every time? Who wants to be bothered? Save your money. This is a hunk of junk!

Think Twice
The product assembles well. Then problems then start. Despite carefully doing everything according to instructions, the printer would barely put ink on paper. Within 23 printed pages, the yellow ink cartridge light indicated it was out of ink, despite being brand new. Soon no ink, even pure black and white MS Word documents would not print despite what sounded like the print heads working fine.I called HP and spend 45 minutes on the phone with a tech. He was a Windows tech and could not help with a Mac running OS 10.4.10, but graciously tried. I wish he didn't. All he could do is read from HP's web site (badly) and do the obvious print head cleaning, re-seating of the cartridges, and the like. To no avail. He did offer to send me a free yellow cartridge...but he didn't seem to understand that even B&W; would not printI bought HP precisely since I wanted to avoid quality problems. OoopsI advise you to wait until they refine this printer model and get the kinks out

The picture quality and sound are very good. If you love this movie as much as I do it is a very good by. Why amazon did not advertise this was being released is strange. But here it is a copy you will be happy to finally own. Now for the best news of all. Drum roll please! A full film commentary by Billie Jean herself Helen slater! That's right. The Helen slater! Why the studio did not release this is beyond me. But here it is so go get it!

Not the worst in the series...
First of all, I'd like to comment on the DVD. There are two dvds pictured in the description and they are both the exact same dvd with different artwork. I'm guessing someone decided it was a bit ridiculous to call it a "Special Edition", when there are NO extras on it. There really isn't anything "special" about the dvd. It has the movie. That's it. But it is hard to find so it's nice to be able to get for a decent price. The video quality is the same as a new vhs. Not bad but obviously not remastered or anything like that. I watched both "versions" on a big screen tv and they looked fine and sounded ok.As for the film... all I have to say is that a girl gets all of her skin ripped off, while she is screaming. And it's gross. YEAH!

The Innocents Within
I was not prepared for the shock that I was going to receive when I started reading Robert Daly's book the Innocents Within. It was terrible. Actually, it was an abomination. The book should be banned. Even though I read only half of it, that was all I could take. What so bothered me about this book was the fact that Mr. Daly took a little bit of the truth and mixed in a lot of lies and confusion. This is dangerous. He did not represent the people or the events that took place in Le Chambon in a truthful or accurate manner. Even though he does state at the end of his book that it was a work of fiction, he could have written something better. Instead, he wrote a pornographic piece of trash. I cannot and would not recommend this book to anyone.

Insulting
i appreciate the cook but I didn't like the way he handled the situation. i think the documentary was premature. Baseball is a generational sport. It should be looked at as a long term improvement not an over night sensation. Overall I am disappointed. I walked away offended and insulted. I am Cambodian and I felt shameful to have watch this with my family and friends. Please do our people the favor and show how the players enjoy the game instead of the coaches and cook bad talking each other. This documentary should be a team improvement but it was more like one man's perspective on how he "FELT" he was wronged and how he should make it right. Anyhow I think the cook jump the gun and made a mess. This documentary should have never been made in this way.

A pleasant surprise
Reading manuals often rise new questions. How does this function actually work? As owner of many cameraes and manuals for these cameras, I am glad to discover eager folks getting behind all the functions with such great skill. Nikon Coolpix 4500 manual are of the better kind, but still a manual.This book got me behind all unique functions of the Nikon Coolpix 4500 and made me see all the posibilities of the well made camera. The combination book & CD works just fine. The book in B&W; and CD in color first seemed odd, but after all make sens. The moment the book get worn out, just print out a new one! (remeber the copyright!).Bying this book was my first bye from Amozon.com. It worked just great and I got the book by mail according to the the promised price and date! Just great.I recomend this book for those wanting to realy getting most out of the Excelent Nikon Coolpix 4500.

I started taking 2 tblsp of Black Cherry Juice extract at night and the very next morning all swelling was gone from my foot and I was pain free.I take the extract every night now and have never had another gout attack! I also quit all my perscriptions!!!! I read that the extract actually neutralizes the uric acid! It works! I have told many people about it and they too have had great sucess.

Try this record, you wll love it.
I have bought this cd 6 times now. A new GF has never heard it, I play it for her, she loves it and takes it. Natalie Merchant has a voice all her own. The perfect melancholy record. I listen to it when it rains. She wrote a great song about River Phoenix, and the spectacle after his death. It transcends even today. Cowboy Romance is a favorite if you have ever been in a dive bar people watching. The hits Carnival, and Jealousy are on this record. Beloved Wife is extremely powerful, and if you have lost a spouse... remove all ropes, narcotics, firearms, and sharp objects before listening to it. Your can hear Natalie choke back tears while she is singng it. Even if you don't know who she is, or wasn't really into the stuff you heard, this is a great record. The women in my life agree, that's why they always steal it.

Easy to install too
Excellent quality. I bought two so I could get rid of the large knife block that was taking up valuable counter space.Very easy to install. At each end are black plastic half-moon-shaped inserts. They slide out easily to reveal a bracket underneath. Two screws & plastic wallboard inserts are included. All I needed to install was a Phillips screwdriver, a nail, and a hammer. Was too lazy to get the drill out so I just hammered a nail into the wall. Nail was slightly smaller than the diameter of the plastic insert. Pull out the nail, push the insert in, screw in the holder, then slide the black plastic half-moons back in to cover up the brackets/screws and the little mess I made of the wallpaper there. Easy, strong, and secure.And it looks cool. Shiny stainless, very contemporary design.

A Complete and Total JOKE.
Yes, Eminem is a joke. But you know what folks? He doesn't care. He's laughing all the way to the bank. While the youth of America uphold and follow him as some sort of god, Marshall Mathers is laughing and living it up. And all he had to do was shout obscenities and nursery rhymes into a microphone! Maybe I can make a CD too? Nonetheless, it's no wonder that the music industry is self-destructing. They only brought this on themselves, and they deserve their self-inflicted wounds as far as I'm concerned. It's not just Eminem either. 90% of the stock at my local CD store is pure GARBAGE. I say let the RIAA and the music business in general suffer a slow, painful death. I, for one, won't mourn its demise. This type of music is only more proof that society in general is morally bankrupt.

Baby Talk
Perhaps the worst baby book ever thrown together. It seems the author decided to release a book for no purpose other than to release one. Sorry, I must give the plot away. On the first page the word "Hi" has a corresponding photo of a child. I say corresponding only in the sense that the picture is opposite the page of the word. The photo does not match up with the word. That's what's surprising, NONE of the photos of the babies/toddlers expressions have any connection whatsoever with correspoding word. Sorry, I'll go ahaead and give the rest of the plot away. The other words without any connection to the photos are: No, Mine, Cheese, and Okay. Seriously, I think the author should have at least spent 2 extra minutes to find baby photos that were similiar to the words or changed the words to match the photos. Oh, by the way, my child looked at page one, grabbed the book and tossed it! So does this count as 2 reviews?

Hot, early Tal Farlow. Retro-cool, burning stuff
I'm a jazz guitarist and collector of jazz albums. I think this is a very unique and special album. I confess, being a guitarist, Tal Farlow was the draw, and Tal does not disappoint (nor do Charles Mingus or Red Norvo). The musicianship here is pretty mind-boggling. Red Norvo had a penchant for FAST tempos, and many of these tracks absolutely burn. The arrangements all have a distinct, cool-swinging, 1950's vibe that I really enjoy. Retro-cool, baby. For listeners interested in jazz guitar, Tal Farlow was one of the most technically astounding guitarists that jazz has ever seen, and these sides clearly illuminate and underscore that fact. As such, I recommend this to jazz guitar enthusiasts. The only complaint is the audio quality, which, to my ears, seems fairly flat and poor, even by early '50's standards. Real jazz aficionados understand that you have to roll with poor audio quality when you're digging for pearls.

Avoid! More frustration than help.
I'm a Network Administrator and I've been in the business for over ten years. I've used many similar devices at my previous jobs. I recently got a new job and they didn't have a decent tone and probe kit. I saw this one and thought I'd give it a try. Boy was I disappointed! The instructions say it works up to twelve feet! What the heck? I've used many tone and probe kits that work across the distance of an entire office building and over multiple floors. When I tried this thing in my house, I don't think it worked five feet from where I plugged it in and I was touching bare wire! Worthless piece of trash. Get yourself a decent tone and probe kit if you need a similar device. This thing's going right back to the store. I'm really disappointed with it's performance.

Did not work for me.
This watch is packed with features and that is the reason I purchased this. The watch worked fine for couple of months and then I started noticing the problems. The watch automatically resets for no reason and I loose all my time settings. Then one day suddenly I could not connect to my computer through USB any more. I thought it was the low battery and replaced the battery with a new one from a watch repair shop. That did not help. I have a small wrist and one of the problems that I have with this watch is whenever I bend my wrist completely I end up pressing the buttons. I was not sure about the return policy on this watch. Anyway now its totally worthless and just sitting in my shelf. I do not recommend buying this watch from Amazon. If you really want to try it then buy it from a shop where you can easily return it.

Great for this Breastfeeding Mother
I love this sterilizer. I am a breastfeeding mother and use the Avent Isis to pump milk from time to time. This sterilizer fits the Isis perfectly along with a few bottles, nipples and sealing discs. I wash my bottles out after I use them and put them away. When I'm ready to pump, I load this up and 7 minutes later I'm good to go. You don't need to dry the bottles or pump before using, if you use them right away. When I'm done, I wash my pump and store it back in here to dry. It stays there until I'm ready to use it again. I've never tried sterilizing any other bottles but the instructions specify how to place others in here so they fit well. It is very time saving, rinses easily, and works very well. I'm glad I've never had to resort to the boiled water on the stove.

Mr. Verne's Best.
Note to all first time readers. This book was created for serialization and so comes across in a somewhat repetitive chapter formula. I read this in grade school and have yet to find anyone who truly disliked it. Journey To The Center Of The Earth is also a Classic, but I prefer this. Well written, with a unique story and good visuals throughout. The reader can clearly identify with the characters and their view of being on the Nautilus. Captain Nemo is an enigmatic person with many layers. In this one will see Man vs. man, and man vs. nature. For some the descriptions of various Marine life may seem over done. For me they gave context within a slide show of what truly made Captain Nemo tick. Mr. Verne's book deserves the appelation, "far ahead of its time."

What a life saver
I bought this for my elderly parents. A few years ago I bought them a mail station. Well, it died. They were lost without one. Computers are too "complicated" for my mom. So investing in a computer just to do email was out of the question. Every time that I talked to them on the phone they "whined" not having a way to communicate with my aunt in CA. The phone was out of the question and writing is hard for my mom. I came across the mailbug, what a life saver. Now, whenever they remember something to ask or tell they jump right on the mailbug.

Best party's ever in the sunflower state
Buy this cd! Mike was Touring around here for years at all the the clubs. I first got to know his music when he was with the Serfs. They had a cool lp Early Bird Cafe and a single that was sold at concerts {you can't have mine}! In Hutchinson, Kansas it was who to see tonight Mike Finnigan and the Serfs, or Jerry Wood and The Pegs. Then they got togeter as Finnigan and Wood and it just got better! Anyway, Southern Lady is the tune that really showcases Mike's vocals on this CD. Please if you can Mike is playing the Cotilion in Wichita On Feb. 28th be there and you'll be sorry you don't have these tunes if you don't. Well if you make the concert I'll see you there! If not, just buy the tunes it's gotta have tunes. I do have a couple sealed Serfs LP's, might part with one.

As good as the book
I read this book when it first came out in paperback and kindled the last two books. I saw it was playing in limited engagements in the United States so I had to order the DVD. The screen adaptation is outstanding. Lisbeth is as mysterious in the film as in the book. Of course, more is revealed about her in the later books. Michael is played to perfection. The movie is on of the best films I have seen in years. Even Plague is correctly portrayed in the film. I received the DVD on the 8th and have watched it twice. Hopefully, the motion picture industry will show The Girl Who Played with Fire nationwide. Actually, I could care less if they remake this film in the United States. The foreign actors is part of the intrigue in the books.

Just one more thing to make your life a little easier
I just received my chop and store set today. Within seconds, I noticed that 2 of the non-skid feet were missing. No matter. I retrieved them from betwix the carpet fibers in my living room. I removed the other 2 feet easily just by lifting them out and immediately secured all four feet to the bowl with super clue. Now, that aside, the set seems to be produced of very substantial material. The bowl's sections are large...2+ cups each. I intend to use my chop and store set to make veggie toppings ahead for my salads. Now, after a hard day's work it will only take seconds for you to prepare your daily salad just by topping a bed of greens with pre-chopped veggies. Put your feet up, relax, and enjoy, honey. Your salad for tomorrow is already prepared. This is a very versatile product, so look at the other product recommendations. Buy a bunch of these and send them to people you care about.

Looks great, feel great....not well made, customer service stinks
This watch looks great and feels great. I receive compliments on it all the time. It's fairly well made, but it has started to fall apart after about 3 years of use. The pins have both been replaced several times. The watch clasp has been repaired. One of the minute marks on the face of the watch came off, which got the watch jammed and now the hour and minute hands are off. I have tried to call customer service multiple times. Sometimes I get through, sometimes I don't. When I finally did get through one and requested a replace band part (it broke, too), they sent me the wrong part. I called again. This time they just didn't send anything.

piece of junk!!!
This does not even deserve one star.We got this scanner as a gift and what a piece of junk. We have tried on 4 different computers including windows 98, NT,and XP. After the first 2 scans, it says it is locked even after installing the newest drivers. Visioneer sent new software. That did not help. The offered me a new one, but only if I paid to ship the old one to them. I couldn't return it to the store because I had it past the return date. It is now going in the trash because it would not be worth the money to send them the scanner just to get another piece of crap back in the mail. Do not buy this scanner. You will just muck up your computer with software and have to return it. Worst scanner ever!!!

Perfect cure for insomnia!!!!
I can't believe this is considered a classic, and still so beloved by readers today. It's so incredibly boring and stupid!!! It was without a doubt one of the most torturous reading experiences for me. Now, I can appreciate great pieces of classic literature (e.g. Moby Dick, Red Badge of Courage, Gullivers Travels), but this assuredly does not merit to fall within that catagory. It is friviolous and devoid of any real substance. No plot whatsoever. Essentially, it concerns a bunch of smart-aleck, stuck-up self-righteous phonies who try to outdo each other with their sarcastic and smart-aleck remarks. Give me a break, all of you who supposedly like this dull, monotonous, shallow book!! It is utterly beyond my comprehension how in the world this garbage is considered one of the great books of world literature. It is simply a 19th century British version of the Jerry Springer show.

I cant' get this to work!!
i followed every word of the instruction but can't get the PC Card connect to it. I tried other 3 PC Card (diff. brand). No dice. I tried another D-Link 713P. Wired! It seems that everytime I switched AP, my PC card had signal but very unstable. But after a while the singal was gone again. Then by switching to another AP, the singal was back. Forget it! I got a more expensive Linksys AP (w/ 4 port switch). Plug and play! Better user interface and better looking (I think). I was lucky that I was able to get a very good deal at amazon ...! ...

If it seems to good to be true, IT IS!
I was dying to get my hands on these after reading such wonderful endorsements. I had nothing but high hopes. I was totally open minded. I thought it seemed too good to be true (low cal no carb noodles!) but hey, I'm an optimist. Guess what? It is too good to be true! I read about washing them and drying them. I did. No problem. I added sauce. I put them in my mouth. The taste was not the problem it was the texture. It was seriously like chewing rubber bands. No noodle resemblence whatsoever. I honestly can't understand those who rave about these, but, hey, to each his own.

Tragic Pterodactyls
Toho, the force behind the Godzilla movies, created another monster mainstay with this one. This time, a small mining community is visited by giant worm bugs. First they cause disappearances in the mine but eventually move out to the surface. But they are the tip of the iceberg for the mine has connected to an ancient cavern containing a gigantic egg.Once the egg hatches, Rodan is born. It eats the bug worms and flies around. For the most part it is an indifferent creature no doing any purposeful harm but its wake causes severe damage. Then there are two of them and the government decides that the creatures must be stopped as their simple existence can cause countless damage.The final moments of this film are sad and tragic. Rodan and spouse are not rampaging monsters, just misplaced. One does not feel any victory at their defeat, only sadness. This was a wonderful film from Toho that took the giant monster (kaiju) film in a new direction. Definitely worth watching.

I SPIT ON YOUR CHOP SHOP
This is a bad rape/abduction film that takes place in a body shop. Lisa "I have legs and cleavage" Stewart (Shannon Michaels) needs her car repaired after an accident. She keeps a "journal" which is a composition notebook. She returns at night, overly dressed to pick up her car and becomes a tool for the crew.The film starts out claiming this is a true story that happened in 1994 Riverdale, Ga. There is a most irritating uncredited narrator who pointlessly describes what is in the journal. She takes long pauses while she puffs on a cigarette. The acting was bad and you wanted to see everyone die. The sound quality was poor. One of the mechanics, (Rob Rose) starts out with a Jersey accent and then switches to a southern accent. The script was rather Spartan. No character build-up.Great title. Nice cover. Slightly inaccurate as Lisa wore a black bra and not white.Parental Guide: F-bomb, no nudity, rape. girl/girl scenes.

BORING!!!!! ONE OF KING'S WORST
One of the worst books I've read. It is the worst book by king. I dont know what to call it. There's no action there's almost no drama and it's definetly not scary. I wont spoil the end for those of you who are reading it just to see for yourselves. But the thing with the guy who breaks into graveyards come on king do ya think were etiots.I read the review's before I started this book and I wanted to see for myself. And it sucked. The real fault of the book is that it's basicaly boring. I mean the story go's almost nowhere.I commend mr.king for trying something different but it just dos'nt work. If you want a good king book then get insomnia or desparation. And whoever thinks this book is good as way to much time on their hands.Full of horny sex and downright stupidity.Good try but no cigar mr.king.

This has gotta be a great game!!!
Guild Wars was recommended to me 2 weeks before launch by a friend. For now, all the Amazon reviews on this game state real highly about the game. RARELY does a game ever attract so many users to give positive feedback. This game is extremely fun, and it is my second day playing. It is absolutely a blast, its free which is even better, but as far as the game goes... leveling takes awhile. Even on level 3 which I am at right now, its very slow but its fun! The graphics are great, I've seen better in a different MMORPG called PristonTale. I believe they have the best graphics ever!! But this is Guild Wars we're talking about, sooo if your looking for a EXCELLENT game, and easy to understand game, I would definetly go for this game! Its a bit high in price, but its extremely fun.Additional info:- You can minimize the game!- NO lag whatsoever...- Broadband Connection recommended- You will have fun !!!

Fun for the whole family.
The classic tale of Joseph and his coat of many colors as envisioned by one of the leading innovators of musical theatre, Andrew Lloyd Webber. With music by Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice (Aladdin and The Lion King), the songs are so catchy you will be singing them for days afterward. The entire movie is one long operetta-style musical (aka. No stopping for just talking.) The songs range from ballad to rock-n-roll to Calypso. Wonderful costumes, phenominal acting and great sets make for a fantastic visual extravaganza. No CGI here. This is all live. Osmond conjours up a superb portrayal of Joseph, Jacob's most beloved son, all the way from his youth through to adulthood. With a star-studded cast this movie is one to keep for the next generation and the next. Dream on, Joseph; dream on!

Jennifer please stick to acting!!!!!!
I like Jennifer Lopez and always have, hey, she's from the Bronx, took the 6 train, and she's boricua(Nuyorican), (Just like me). But just because of this doesn't mean I'll support her voice. There's just one word for her singing skills:HORRIBLE!! Jennifer please, you're a good actress, and you can dance, but you just can't sing. The only good song on her cd is "NO ME AMES". And that's because Marc Anthony is in it: Now that's a talented man. His voice is beautiful and truly passionate. My advice? Buy all 3 of his cd's plus the English one coming out in August. He's worth it. For what I see, once you're in the industry you have a much greater chance of moving professions, but no matter how many connections you have, voices like Jennifer Lopez' should not be heard over the radio. La India, Olga Tanon, Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, and Ednita Nazario now those are truly talented women. Jennifer's just a wanna be.

listen to something else
... For me, I dont see what is so spectacular about this band. All of the songs become superfluous. ... For all of you guys who said that they loved those lyrics from "Perhaps" <i feel a quote coming> "Lyrically, Rufio does try to sound poetic but fails on so many levels. "I sit and hear you sleep, I don't want to go. You're there beside me, but you're so far away. I talk to you, while you're asleep. You can't hear a word, you can hear everything." I would like to say that "you can't hear a word" and "you can hear everything" is a nice dichotomy but it is simply [not common sense]. And how exactly do you hear someone sleep? Does the line "I talk to you" mean that you are telling this girl to stop the ... snoring?." If this album is supposedly not up to par with "Perhaps", as other reviewers have said, then this album is truly weak, and one should definitely keep away from it.

People you've tried to avoid your entire life.
Friends is immensely popular. No doubt. And I guess I understand that. The characters are very much like the "populars" you find in high school. Maybe a little bit smarter. Definitely a little bit funnier. But they're are the same shallow, repulsive folks that--if you had a little on the ball--you tried to avoid. Like the plague. You know the type. The girls who were more attractive than average, usually really skinny, and way too chipper. And then the guys. Kinda clunky. No depth at all. Smug.As you might have guessed, I find it very difficult to watch this show. Far from making me laugh, these characters make me want to leave. And the writing is so flat, so corporate, so uninspired, that it amounts to junk-food humor, with a carefully orchestrated laugh track so numbed viewers know exactly where to laugh.It's because of stuff like this that I've stopped watching TV altogether. Try it.

It could have been so good!
I was very excited about purchasing this game. However, almost immediately I found the game to be very linear. That is, you can't just go around and fight monsters that respawn. There are specific quests with NPC's, monsters, and droids which you can battle. There are several stopping points where you cannot proceed without a walkthrough, because the actions you must take to get past that point are very exacting and there is no room for error. One place like this is where you see a full grown rancor. Attack it and you die. There is a pile of rubbish nearby with about ten miscelanious items within. You have to activate the correct two items in the correct order or you die. I never would've figured this out without the walkthrough. Once you clear an area of enemies, new ones do not appear and the old ones do not respawn. The treasure items you find are fixed, as in there are no random ones. I was hoping for Morrowind and got something more like Final Fantasy.

Try it.
Wonderful main characters. Beautiful writing. Although the book bogged down in spots, its worth the effort, especially if you like Gothic. If you don't like Gothic, try this anyway, as it's set in San Francisco, and not in Jane Eyre land. Best scene is Benedict standing up in the tup. A little humour in a Gothic is always welcome. The secondary characters are terrific, especially the children. I've put it on my "Perhaps I'll keep it" shelf. I have and have read over 10,000 books. (Groan! Why do I do this!)

the musical prescription for peace and tranquility
Being an audiophile, bed time seems like wasted time when not listening to great music. Most of the music this listener hears is too stirring to foster the mind frame necessary for a positive dream time. Enter Coyote Oldman. Some may dismiss this as new age music. There is an understandable skepticism about such music. Ultimately, such critics are missing out on "Tear of the Moon." This is the soundtrack to either a profound meditation or a good night's repose. Rest assured, "Tear of the Moon" is both relaxing and a quality listen. The Native American flutes and Incan pan pipes will gently carry the listener off to another world. Barry Stramp and Michael Graham Allen's aerophones dance in a mystical, reverb soaked state of tranquility. Originally released as a cassette, this version includes a twelve minute bonus track that brings the time up to a respectable CD length. "Tear of the Moon" is one of Coyote Oldman's most compelling vision quests.

I got this lens to go wider on a 20D. I wanted to go wider so I got a 5D. Started shooting events with this lens and I learned that the 580ex couldn't give me enough light in the dark. Used the lens during the day. Terrible problems with lensflare. The hood showed up on the edges of pictures (wide). Went back to the 24-70L as my primary lens. When this lens works and circumstances are right, the results are stunning. I'm trying to use two flashes to get the power to use it at night, again terrible flare problems. Whenever it matters I have to go back to the 24-70L. I just don't have all these problems with it.The problems with the 16-35 lens appear at the wide end. At 35 the lens operates well but that's not what I bought the lens for.I love the lens but it's the lens that gives me the most frustration and worry. Wish it had cost less but what can you do?

4 slicer- A disappointment
We had a two slice toaster by Dualit and loved it so much that I bought a 4 slicer as our family grew. What a disappointment! The toast takes forever. I don't even like my toast well done. I have to reset it for a second round. This means waiting by the toaster of remembering to go back in and reset before it dries out. Why should a toaster be so difficult? It is the most basic of electronics! We loved out Dualit two slicer, so perhaps the issue is in the 4 slicer version, or maybe they just aren't making them like they used to. At any rate, I'm in the market for a better four slicer- this one stinks. And i paid a bucket load for it, which doesn't help!

Thoughtful and heartfelt.
I didn't know what to expect when I first saw this movie. I thought it would be campy. . . etc. However I was surprised.It is an extremely well-acted film that treats a delicate subject with class and beauty.The movie starts off humorously enough, with one of the main characters--Griffin (played brilliantly by Dermot Mulroney) finding out some life-altering news. He then meets a woman named Phoenix(Amanda Peet) at university where he has decided to take a class. He falls in love with her, and she with him.It is a beautiful love story with a twist. It is definitely not your normal love story, as previous people who have reviewed this film would say. This is not a movie for everyone, as this movie can be hard to stomach. Long interludes, slow-moving dialog, and slightly implausible situations, make this movie slightly difficult to watch. However if you can sit through all the quietness, this movie is worth the view at least once.

Better than Californiacation
I'd give this album 4.5 stars, because it isn't perfect. Almost no albums are. This album tends to lean towards being less funky than the last. It's softer, but i like it better. or me californiacation was too much. I love tracks one through eight. especially dosed. But one song i hate is cabron. basically i just love john frusciante's guitar playing. every note he hits even if it's as simple as two in a solo is just perfect. you need this album.

Could have a laxative effect on some readers
Glad to see that other reviewers share my thoughts on this infuriating "Maze" of a book. By the end of the first page you realize that you've walked into something that's hopelessly tangled and confused. You keep stumbling on in the vain hope that the whole nasty mess will EVENTUALLY "Straighten itself Out" . No such luck. Your persistence DOESN'T pay off. The endless twists and turns only get worse. I bought my copy for [money amount]at a local market. Boy, what a waste of Money!I started to read it late one evening. After a couple of minutes I found myself mumbling such comments as "What the hell is this all About ?". It's like reading a foreign language .... I couldn't "Cotton On" to ANYTHING he was saying. By page 23 I'd had enough . Suitable only for use as a doorstop when those hot North winds start to blow. ...

Celebrate The Great Troubadour
Al Stewart is a treasure. Every new Al Stewart album is very welcomed event. A Beach Full of Shells is no exception. This one works beautifully on so many levels. As with every album by Al, there are great thematic lyrics, tasteful and catchy tunes and great production work, once again from Lawrence Juber. The use of strings on several songs works very well. Highlights for me: "Mona Lisa Talking", an achingly gorgeous call for the lead character to return from street action to the one waiting at home. "Gina in the Kings Road" is a classic and worth the price of the album alone. There is a wide variation in song writing styles here from elemental rock and roll ("Class of 58"), to the folky "Immelman Turn" to the classical "Katherine of Oregon". Upon repeated listenings, each song on the album works individually and as a whole. Al Stewart remains the greatest troubadour of our time. This one is not to be missed. Bravo, Al.

Shame on the Dickies Company!
Shame on the Dickies manufacturing company for poor quality control. Dickies has not taught their factories overseas to measure properly. I ordered a pair of "Industrial Multi Use pants" in size 32X34 from a Amazon retailer. When they arrived I tried them on and noticed they seemed short. So I measured the inseam and it is 33, not 34. For a tall and skinny llike man like me it is near impossible to find khaki or chino style pants in 34 or longer length. If you go to wal -mart to buy Dickies pants or any khaki style pants you will find that wal-mart does not belive there are any skinny men with long legs, so they only sell 32X32 inch length. Same goes for target. So I have to resort to buying my pants online. I like Dickies pants but they are not as advertized as far as the sizes go. Some people have voiced similar complaints on the waist sizes. Dickies company get your act together! Mike

Extremely old and boring - Don't buy!!
Don't buy this! I recently purchased this set, thank god I didn't pay full price! The videos have some real footage that makes you think about your own life, but most of the footage appears to be staged and is extremely old. Just before something happens the camera tends to looks away and comes back to show you somthing dead, but because you don't see it, it is easy to figure out that most of this is probably fake. Don't get me wrong, some of it is real and is sick, but it's not worth buying the whole set. Tape #5 & #6 contains some of the same footage from #3 and #4. Mostly shows dead animals from slaughter houses, cadavers, old police footage and is very slow. It's easy to see that many of the deaths are completely fake and were staged. Be prepared to fall asleep. It's not worth [price]! Spend your money on a something else, trust me!! Try buying one of the videos first (make sure it's not #1)and you'll see what I mean.

*insert lame Remember the Name pun here*
Not sure quite how to describe this other than absolutely perfect. Pick a track, listen to it, and I guarantee you'll fall in love. Tracks like "Remember the Name", "Petrified", and "In Stereo" are perfect for blasting at a party or from a car, and most tracks will leave you stunned. Petrified, even! "Kenji" deserves special note. The track is about the Japanese internment camps of WWII, more specifically, the experieces of Mike's own family in said camps. Around here, it's gotten everybody from little elementary kids who like the beats, to the grandparents of those children ((and mine too)) into it. Well worth every penny, and there's no reason not to listen. No matter what your tastes, there's something on this unmatched album for you. Like nothing you've ever heard before . . . don't miss out!

Don't Wait... Buy It NOW!
All of the reviews that I've read are right on. The good ones and the bad ones. That's due to the complexity of Kevin Gilbert, his lyrics and his music. If you are musically trained or love layered, well produced, complex music that sounds simple to a simpleton, you'll love Kevin Gilbert's music. If you enjoy lyrics that are so layered that every time you listen to them you come away with a different conclusion, then you'll love Kevin Gilbert. If you enjoy catchy, contagious pop-rock, you'll love Kevin Gilbert. If you've ever been depressed and despondent, felt isolated and confused, you'll love Kevin Gilbert. He's sweet'n'sour. Ying and Yang. Sweet pop with dark lyrics. Dark pop with sweet lyrics. Good God what are you waiting for? Get this album! Also don't miss out on Kevin's rock opera masterpiece, "Shaming of the True" and the ultimate, dark, disturbed, alter-ego, Zappa-esk "Kaviar."

Never Ever buy one of theses!!!!!
We just purchased a Magic Bullet from Amazon.com. It would be a nifty product to have, EXCEPT, ours arrived defective. There is a crack in the disk covering the motor compartment which will allow liquids to leak in and eventually cause the motor to fail. I wrote to the company that makes them, and they told me there is nothing I can do to activate the warranty because I am not the original owner! Huh!!?? I just got the thing....But, I purchased from Amazon, not Homeland Housewares!!!Who buys from Homeland Housewares????? Never heard of them! But they are the owner company. So they have found a loophole so they don't have to honor warranties on this product. On a positive note, Amazon has agreed to take it back and give us a refund for it, which I am doing.

My grandchild loves them!
Just purchased the classic short uggs in grey and they are definitely a hit with my grand daughter. She has been wanting a pair for some time now. I decided to get her these even with the cost being rather high. I have 2 pairs myself and adore them. My feet stay so warm even in the coldest weather.She was so excited that she called to make sure they arrived. I was hoping that the size would be accurate. Happily, for me and for her, they fit perfectly!! She was wearing them when I left her home with the biggest smile on her face. That said it all!!I would highly recommend these. Plus, being an Amazon Prime member, shipping was so quick with free return if they didn't fit. Thanks Amazon for the great service.

The best phone since the RAZR and it sure gets looks!
Pros:- Exclusivity. Nobody has this phone/color combo.- Killer looks. The glass front is mind-blowing. Photo doesn't do it justice.- Killer size. Left to right it's thinner than the RAZR but slightly longer and slightly thicker front to back.- Sturdy. This is where it shines. When you close it, it feels like a luxury car door. Very solid; lightyears ahead of the RAZR.- Sound quality is top-notch. Excellent reception.- Camera is actually very, very good. I was very, very surprised.- Works with all my old RAZR accessories.Cons: (barely justifiable to even call them that)- A couple of the included games/java apps were in Chinese.- The phone language. "Centre" instead of "Center", Personalise instead of "Personalize" - Not really a big deal. Must be a UK English vs. a US English thing.

Nice Touch!!
I heard about this group from a listener who e-mailed me and thought I should check this group out. I'm glad I did because this jazz group is hot!! N-Touch is based out of Portland, Oregon and have been very popular in their region. The debut CD is chock full of awesome rhythms and beats. The title track is incredible as it reminds me of something out a Crusaders album. Much of the album has a mixture of not only Smooth Jazz, but Latin & Gospel as well. It's a refreshing difference to hear in a recording such as N-Touch. Very original!! I see bigger and better down the road for this group. Buy it and enjoy!!

This is Not Ventriliquism for Dummies
Winch is a terrific book on a couple of different levels. It is chock full of great show business stories. It is also a great psychological tale of how Paul was so afraid of his disapproving mother and how he overcame other obstacles to become a very learned and entertaining man that he is today.Mr Winchell is brutally honest in his autobiography and as a result doesn't always come across as a great guy. His battles with his mother and his wifemake for some great reading. There is a simply beautiful anecdote about how he meets his idol Edgar Bergen. The last few pages of the book concern a spiritual reckoning for Paul that seems a bit out of place but it does bring closure for him. I really felt he ended the book too abruptly. I would have liked to have been brought up to current time. Maybe he has another book in the works. I applaud Mr Winchell for his efforts in telling his story. It is a valuable story to read about.

Bunn Velocity Brew
I am sorry to say that I am not happy with my purchase. The details made this find very exciting. Bottom line it makes a cup of coffee. I cannot say that it is a great cup of coffee or even a good cup of coffee. I think the problem is that the coffee is not brewed hot enough. The coffee is cold in your mug within two minutes of pouring. There is also a misconception with this pot. Bunn details that you will have coffee within 3 minutes, which you do. But I should have wondered how it is done. Your coffee maker has to always be on to keep the water warm in the unit. It makes a quick pot of coffee, but I would rather it take ten minutes and have a hotter brew than cold coffee. Bunn is a good brand, but this coffee maker is not for me. I would have prefered their other model that takes longer.

What's Going On?
Hang on a minute. I don't understand what's going on here...The book is called 'Halliwell's Film, Video And Dvd Guide 2005 by John Walker' according to the front cover. So who wrote it? Leslie Halliwell or John Walker?Leslie Halliwell was a superlative film critic/historian, but he died in 1989. It shouldn't be allowed for a book to be called 'Halliwell's...' unless it's written by him alone. The fact is that Halliwell is NOT a brand name. It's the name of an author who died in 1989. He wrote the entire books himself - He wasn't just the curator of a collection - he was an author in his own right. To start adding further reviews by John Walker means it is no longer Halliwell's guide. Simple as that...Why isn't there a Walker's Film, Video And Dvd Guide 2005 by John Walker? Presumably because it wouldn't sell as many copies.If you want the genuine Halliwell article then please search out ebay for copies from the 80s.What next? The complete Works of Shakespeare by John Walker?

Disappointing Deception
I purchased this book because I have enjoyed reading this author. I was terribly disappointed in Darkfever. First it moved so slowly with little action and pages of boring exposition. It lacked romance and even the attempt at the beginnings of lust were flat. I found myself scanning the pages hoping for something better. When the book ended without resolving even one mystery, I was horrified. What a waste of my time. Also what a shameless ploy to sell books. If I want to know more I can by the next book which happens to be a more expensive hardcover. I can tell you I am not pre-ordering that volume. Also in reading the author's question and answer section I see that the story of Mac won't end in the next book. I have no problem with a continuing character. In fact I like it but each book must have some resolution or the buyer must be warned that this is only part one of a continuing story not book one of a continuing series. If I could I would be asking for my money back

Predictable, but fun.
A "vampire" killer is striking during the first weekof school at Shadyside High, and several people have been found dead and drained of their blood. Trisha thinks it has something to do with her vision of a doomed senior class. Josie blames it on the doom spell she cast. Twins Deidre and Dana Palmer don't know what to think. Most of the students think it's Clark Dickson - AKA Count Clarkula - that's killing all those people; he acts and dresses like a vampire, after all. Maybe he really is one. Then there's the two new students: Jon, who Deirdre just started dating, and his creepy, accident-prone ex-girlfriend Anita. Can Deirdre and Dana find out who the real killer is before they become the next victims? This was basically the whole premise for this book. It wasn't a bad one for a horror story. But it was really obvious, to me at least, who the killer was. Maybe it wouldn't be to a younger reader. Still, it was a fun book to read.

the nexus of the Arab world
Most of the book's chapters are written by Egyptians; specifically by Cairenes. They give the reader a feel for the immense size of Cairo and its vital significance as a metropolis of the Middle East. We see the myriad groups and ideas that populate Cairo. From Islamist fundamentalists to the westernised, secular elite. Two extremes that uneasily co-exist.The book also describes the economy of Cairo. Especially its dependencies on international trade. But tensions are present. The biggest might not be religious, but economic. Cairo is seen as having a vast urban underclass, that struggles daily to merely survive. While there is also a small group of locals who enjoy First World lifestyles. The latter often move in semipublic spaces, like gated communities and fancy shopping malls. To which the majority can only dream about. Does not bode well for the future.

Angle, de-de, Angle, de-de, Angle, de-de, Angle
Finally the dub-dub F has come out with Kurt Angle's theme. It's awesome that even this Compact had Angle's theme along with dork-jobs like the Bushwackers, Techno Team 2000 and Damian Deminto it would still totally be worth the money. While this compact is nut as good as Vol. 1 which including the best theme besides Demolition and what would that be you ask with a smile well: The heartbreak Kid; Shawn Michaels!! I love you HBK. But Vol. 5 has but-pumping tracks like Taz, Latin Heat, and Too Cool's "Turn it loud. This compact is a steal at only ..., it reeks of awesomeness. If you dont buy this here compact then you must like Hainous music insted. Its fun to blast Angle's theme on my way home from Community College on Thursday and Tuesday. Long live the Dub-dub and long live the F. Word out yo!

Wow. Just wow.
How do I put this. If you own a Playstation, get this game. If you don't, buy a Playstation to be able to play this game. It is by far the greatest sports/skateboarding game. What makes it so special? Well, first there's the Create-a-Skater function. The endless outcomes from this are incredible. Then, build your own park in the Park Editor. There are so many pieces to choose from, and it's a blast testing it out (one complaint, the area to build in is kinda small). The levels are more interesting than the ones before (it snows in the hanger!) and some skaters are new. Graphic push the PS1 to it's limits, looking as good as the original for the Nintendo 64. I was really impressed by this game. Even better than the original.ac

SCARY Ingredients
A friend of mine was using this spray to clean her kitchen and I loved the smell! I was about to buy my own supply, but I always research before I buy. I began to read the label and was scared out of spraying this in my own home. This spray as well as many other Mrs. Meyers products contains 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one which caused respiratory toxicity, developmental toxicity, and immunotoxicity. It also contains Ethyl Alcohol which is a strong carcinogenic (causes cancer)! Why would I ever put these chemicals in my home where my child and my dogs will come in contact with them! Way too scary. I was disappointed I can't use this because I do love the smell. However, I did just read that the counter wipes in the geranium scent is much healthier and no don't contain any of those harmful chemicals. Read labels and in doing so you will protect your family!!!!

A great reference book even for non-buffs
Obviously, every theater buff (and library) in the country will want this book. But even those of us who are not quite so high-brow will find that it captures a huge chunk of our cultural lives -- 1980 to 1993 -- and in a medium not so easy to grab hold of. Favorite movies? You can just go rent them. TV favorites? Tape them or watch in syndication. But with the theater, what do you do? This book is at least part of the answer. If you want a seat at the opening of Dream Girls, or to read why Cats was the hit it became, or to dip into reviews of plays you saw or that might be coming to town in revival . . . this is a book for your library.

I Bought 4... then stopped replacing them.
I really wanted to like the Liquid Caddy. I was so excited to get them. I bought two for me and a few weeks later bought them for my mom and dad. Mine broke in the same spot all the other reviewers have already mentioned. Customer service was great and replaced them for free. Those two broke as well. Then the two I gave as gifts broke a couple months later. If you are keeping track... that's a total of six. I have no problem with this company and I think their product could be great. I would love to buy more if they get the flaw fixed. It's a great and very useful idea. Let me know Liquid Caddy.

very disappointed
Holy Cow! I too am an avid reader, like another reviewer I do try my level best to finish what I start. It was a 1998 Book Group choice and I just thought all the derogatory stuff was over the top. I may be some naive white girl, but I just thought it very unnecessary. I was very disappointed that it was a 1998 choice. I belong to 2 book groups and I had said that I was going to read this at the last meeting of one of them, but I plan to let them know that it's just not worth it. It offended my sensibilities. I guess I just don't get the black mentality or something, but I would not ever want to be spoken to the way the women are spoken to and referred to in this "book". Plus Shawn was so incredibly CHEAP!!!! What an insecure dud this guy was! I'm sorry, I just thought this book was drivel...

An Obnoxious Film From an Obnoxious Hollywood Schmuck
How disappointing it is to see a good idea turned into such bogus garbage. A politician, having put a hit out on himself, figures he has nothing to lose and decides to drop all the phony campaign rhetoric and actually say what he really thinks -- sounds like a pretty good film, right? Not when jackass Warren Beatty is involved. Gets 2 stars only because it is such a good idea for a film and it does have a few funny moments. Otherwise, this is a gigantic turkey of a movie. Just how long can one put up with the spectacle of Beatty rapping? What a sickening display. Not only that, but the film is also drenched in Hollywood's typical socialist prejudices. Beatty whips out the usual leftist claptrap about race, class, and privilege. Nothing is quite so precious as watching super-rich, limousine leftist-types preach to the rest of us about what an unfair society we live in. More proof that Beatty hasn't done anything worthwhile since Bonnie and Clyde.

great find
I gave these glasses to my brother because they don't look factory made, and he admires craftsmanship. These are heavy and textured with the vivid splash of cobalt. He loves them, and has gotten many compliments. An interesting, substantial set of glassware at a rock bottom price.Since then, I have gotten these same glasses for friends who admired my brother's set. They were blown away that I'd send them something this marvelous out of the blue, but these are priced so that you can give freely. After those two sets, I finally bought some for myself, and I find this is the glass I reach for every morning. I love them. Be aware this isn't dainty stuff. Chunky, individual and really satisfying. I'm so glad they're still here. At first I couldn't find the page and I was bereft. But here they are. I'm getting another set. Maybe in the smaller size. In any case, get a few as gifts and one for yourself. Great glasses, unbeatably low prices.

NEW FREDDY.
In response to MR LOCO.If you were really a Freddy fan, You'd know that the back story had never changed. They just played it up a bit more.Freddy was always a pedophile, they just never use that word to describe him. Go back and watch Freddy vs Jason. The opening scene: the licks a pic of a little girl. before killing a live one. Later on in the film: he fondles with his glove hand the main female character and says, your mouth says no, but your bod says yes.Also: In the films there is a little girl saying he likes little children. Especially little girls. Through out the years, there were always the little girl victims who jump roped. Like said. It's always been there. Just like a puzzle. You just have to piece it together.

Yes, Don't listen to the Whiners!!
With over 300 reviews and an average rating of 2-1/2 stars, I would say that the "whiners" are those who want you to ignore the facts and buy this DVD.I didn't read ANY reviews before I bought my DVD set. I didn't even know this site existed. I bought Josh Groban's concert set because I have all of his others. BIG MISTAKE. I too am completely at a loss at how bad this concert is. Of course, I'm not a Groban Groupie and don't go from city to city to see him sing live. Then again, I do have many, many copies of live concerts. They're truly great. This one isn't.So YOU certainly should not pay attention to the personal opinions of anyone. It's YOUR money and it's going to be YOUR purchase.I didn't pay attention to anyone's opinion when I bought "Live at the Greek." AND I didn't pay attention to anyone's opinions when I returned it to get my money back.I now have $30 more to spend on music that I will actually find worthy.I'm Happy.

Now, you'll always see 'em hangin' around.
Let me try to clear things up. There were actually two surf groups that billed themselves as "The Surfaris". The more succesful of the two groups was the one that had a hit with "Wipe Out". The second group, whose most famous song is "Bombora", were legally forced to change their name to "The Original Surfaris" after the other group became nationally famous because of "Wipe Out". This CD doesn't feature "The Original Surfaris; it features "The Surfaris" of "Wipe Out" fame. The CD is the Varese Sarabande Records follow up toWipe Out! The Best of the Surfaris. Sort of a "Best of the Surfaris, Volume 2". Perhaps surprisingly, there was actually enough good material left off of the first CD to make a good second CD. There are 16 good surf instrumentals here, plus three pretty cool songs about motorbikes with vocals. Seven of the instrumentals were previously unreleased, but it was not due to lack of quality. Surf music fans should enjoy this CD a lot.

Atlas Shrugged - Turtleback Binding
As to the story, it is magnificent. Amazing that 54 years after release it still relates to today's economy. I will not review the story - it has been rated the 2nd most influential book on the planet, after the Bible. I'll leave it there.Physically, the book is nicely hard covered. The cover has a glossy finish and the spine is strong - too strong to lay open on a table while you eat lunch, but not obscuring the spine side text. 1079 pages of small print - looks like 0.0032" thick paper. The paper feels thin to the touch, almost like newspaper. There are 51 lines/page on the even (left) pages, 50 lines/page on the odd (right) pages. (Does anyone know why that is? I'd like to know.) Computes to about an 8 point font. Hard on old eyes, but readable. The cost was very reasonable (about $14) and better if you get free Prime 2-day shipping.

Two and a Half Men Lives On....
I have watched every episode of this show. I think the writers handled Charlie Sheen's exit very well. Ashton Kutcher is highly underrated. A lot of viewers are angry about Charlie Sheen leaving and say that he couldn't be replaced. I disagree. It's a sitcom people!!! What makes Two and a Half Men a successful show is the brilliantly talented ensemble cast, not one difficult actor. Ashton Kutcher is funny! You have to give credit to the acting talents of Conchata Ferrell (Berta), Holland Taylor (Evelyn), Jon Cryer (Alan), etc. The first couple of episodes of this new cast felt awkward, but they've settled into their roles and the chemistry works just fine. The only criticism I have for this show is the Ashton Kutcher character's British love interest. The storyline would be much better without her, and I find her increasingly annoying and hard to watch. Other than that, Two and a Half Men is doing just fine without Charlie Sheen.

yet another cracked insert
I've used it many times with no problems over a few years. Then I was clumsy and broke the original insert while washing it. The replacement KitchenAid crock arrived a week ago. This insert has NOT been banged around and it has NOT been exposed to extreme temperature swings. That means I waited until it was at room temp before washing it for use and did not place frozen food in it. It was not filled with food, placed into the fridge, then put into the cooker base. Even though it was handled with much care, it cracked within 15 minutes of being used for the first time. Until today, I would have only said good things about the cooker. Obviously I cannot recommend it now. I don't know why I had no issues with the first insert, but the replacement one broke immediately. Not worth the money for sure.

poor quality
Like others in the reviews, I bought a combo coming with 2 batteries. This was sept 2010. The first one fail after 1 months and a half. Amazon was helpfull to replace it. In the same time, I bought another one, having then 3 working batteries (just precaution). About a year later, another failed !!! Same as described by other review.How can, on 3 batteries, having 2 failures ? I'm not the one complaining for having once a lemon. It can happen.But this time it is not just "bad luck" but "bad product".The tool and the system is great. The time to recharge is perfect. I had even bought the grinder and others.I have still a Ryobi for now 7 years, on 18 volts (just one battery) and this is still working without any problem.How can makita going under the quality of Ryobi ?My recommendation. Stay away from this tool until they change the design of the batteries ! At nearly 80 USD each,this is a very expensive way if you have to change them every 6 months !!!

BrianB. is GREAT!
I am a mom of 2 and I think this is a FANTASTIC TOY! I bought this for my 13yr old son and he loves it! Brian is an incredible interactive toy. It has the entire encyclopedia Britanica and dictionary in it! He is personalized by the owner and has lots of funny jokes and games. I read a review by a person who did not like its attitude but our children are 10 and 13 so the light harted jokes & sarcasm were taken with a very good attitude. (He will tell you that he thinks you must have marbles in your mouth if he cant understand you and ask you to say it again.) He also told our son at 11:30pm he thought it was kind of late and shouldn't he be asleep or some sort. We think he is funny and an incredible teaching toy for this age group too.(we all know it is very hard to find a toy that kids will learn from in the age groups of 10-13yrs! My husband and I love him too! But beware he is a one person guy, our son has total control over Brian!!Buy him and you will love how much you learn!

So Disappointed - I wish you had 1/2 a star
I purchased this machine for 3 reasons. The Cuisinart name, no carafe and the style went with my kitchen. It cost me over $100.00 in Loew's. I figured you get what you pay for and so I took the plunge. I say plunge because I've never paid more than $30.00 for a coffee machine before. WELL! I didn't have this for 18 months and it is acting up. One morning it makes coffee, the next morning NO coffee, and my morning coffee is very important to me. (You all know what I mean) I want to drop kick this crap into the garbage. And I took good care of it. I did the vinegar clean out, and brought the carbon filters. Washed it each time, etc. I will never buy another one of their high priced products again. Oh and my husband brought a different model of theirs for our apt. in NY. It's the one with the thermal carafe and that crap DOES NOT keep the coffee hot as they claim. It's back to Hamilton Beach for me.

Needs Warning!
Wanted simple watch that i could set, put on, & look to see what time it is. This was *almost* that perfect watch. ALMOST!Apparently, one must UNSCREW THE CROWN in order to set the time, and so far this has been impossible. A tiny crown unfit for human fingers. (Can someone suggest a *tool* that might work?) There should be an Amazon caveat in the description of this Casio. I fear disabling the setting stem entirely, so I have given up, put it on, and now must SUBTRACT two hours to determine the time. Later, i'll have to subtract only *one* hour. Golly! Even for twelve bux, one should get more than this. I'll have to find another, thus this was money wasted. One star hardly expresses my disappointment.Note: *I* am content witht the size but larger men might not be.

A let down
I was a little kid when the first trilogy was released. I always liked those movies. This one I didnt. I tried to. I did. It just wasnt there for me. Maybe it was the way Anikin was played by that Lloyd kid, or the WAY OVERDONE special effects, or the lame jokes and even lamer Jar Jar.(Lucas, what the hell were you thinking with him?) Some characters in movies have been annoying, but NOTHING like that waste of space!! Yousa [bad]Jar Jar!!! Even the saber fight wasnt special. Sure it was fun to watch, but there was no drama to it. They didnt even know who DM was!! I hope part 2 is more interesting with an older Anikin.
