WHAT?
Sting, what have you done? Why must everyone keep re-mixing and re-making everything? It's pointless! ARRRRGGHHH! Okay. Enough of that. This used to be a classic. Now, its just some piece of crap that that idiot P. Diddy re-mixed. Seriously, has that guy ever come up with his own song? Please, vote yes on the keep P. Diddy away from music act. Save our music.

crazy hard to get on
We got this for my 4 yo's new bunk bed since he still has occasional accidents at night. Oh my. My husband put it on the first time and said it was hard, but I thought he was just exaggerating. I honestly spent 30-45 min. today trying to get the blasted thing on after having washed and dried it for only the second time. Granted, everything's more challenging with a bunk bed, but I got the regular sheet on in about 3 min. I am honestly thinking of putting him back in pullups so I don't have to deal with washing and changing it when he has accidents!!! It did do a good job of acting as a barrier and I didn't have pee cascading on me when I took it off his bed. **UPDATE: I originally gave this 3 stars, but the next time washing it, the expandable part totally ripped as we were trying to put it on the bed and was rendered useless. My husband was not yanking hard on it or anything. So, after about 2 weeks and 3 washes it was done for.

Fun and more fun! Anti-hero from tomorrow for today!
What an amusing and entertaining read! If you've read the Stainless Steel novels, you allready now of Sleepery Jeem and his inter-galactic adventures.. But this insight into his character and background is a triumph to the sci-fi serial heros. Harrison is one of the funniest sci-fi authors of the past 30 years, probably best known for his novel, "Make Room! Make Room!" for which the movie Soylent Green was based upon. Harrison writes like a mutated Arthur Douglas/Larry Niven/Rex Stout mixture, and the reader will double over at the funny circumstances, the hilarious dialogues, and the quick but dry-witted narration of Slippery Jim DeGriz. The Stainless Steel hero is the future day Anti-hero, the hero who is actually the smartest crook to ever live! Read this book and then read the other Stainless Steel novels. You will have a new favorite sci-fi character!!!!

Too rushed!
I know American Idol tries to get these cds out in a hurry but that is not necessarily a good thing. I like her voice, it sounds a lot better than it did on the show. That's why I gave a star. The songs stink, too much alike. I'm just telling it like it is. This is a filler cd. You have Idol to thank for that. Rush jobs hardly ever create great art. Good luck to Carrie Underwood and her nice voice. I hope she gets another chance at a cd.I hope the only release from this album is "Jesus takes the wheel". That might be less damaging than releasing songs that sound too much alike. Next time allow her to showcase her voice more.

sound and looseness
I've had this wallet for some time. Love it. As for the sound, yes, at first, the material does swoosh a bit but fairly soon afterwards the sound goes away as the cloth breaks in. As for loose credit cards, well, I've always been careful when I open my wallet so that isn't an issue for me. I will say that the recommended number of cards per pocket is low. I can put 4 in each pocket easily as the cloth breaks in. 5 would go without issue and then they will be snug.Love this thing. Love it. MY biggest problem is that I can't tell that it's there so I often hang up my suit jacket or pants with the wallet still in. Don't even know it's there. Love it.

not even good to laugh at
There aren't very many movies I outright loathe. There were so many times during this movie that my jaw just dropped at the stupidity of it that I wonder whether I might have missed the point - is this some Strangelovesque ironic masterpiece, and am I the dumb literal sucker? But of course that's not true (the first part, at least).The typical argument in defense of a film like this is, "Of course it's stupid. It's an action movie." Yes: even the good action movies tend to be stupid. This one, though, is stupid but has nothing to recommend it. The patriotism is simplistic, insipid, and insulting. The plot is trash, the characters trash, the action trash. The movie doesn't even make sense within its own reality - suspension of disbelief fails you.What an awful, awful film. This is the kind of movie that makes me look suspiciously at anyone who thought it was good. I wish there were a no-star option.

A Fine Piece Of Work
I really enjoyed listening to this album, it's got everything. light tracks and heavier tracks. This is my first Idlewild album and probably don't know as much about them as you other people, but having this Idlewild album in my CD rack feels good!This is how i rated each song:1. You held the world in ur arms - first single - 5/52. A modern way of letting go - 4/53. American English - second single - 4/54. I never wanted - 5/55. I am what I am not - 4/56. Live in a hiding place - 3/57. Out of Routine - 5/58. Century after century - 2/5 (i suppose i'm being generous, worst track)9. Tell me ten words - 4/510. Stay the same - 5/511. In remote part / scotish fiction - 2/5 (it is a nice last song but isn't really my thing, better than #8 though.To be honest, if there was just another 1 or 2 more tracks on the album I probably would of gave this album 5 stars.Nevermind, I love the album and will probably stay in my CD player for a while!

Thrashin it Flotsam Style!!!!!
I just want to say first off that I`ve been a Flots fan since way back and these guys never dissapoint. What we have here is yet another solid mix of mature, moody yet heavy as hell metal. These guys have always had the knack for creating super catchy hooks and memorible riffs. You will find them in spades on this record. The production is also top notch.The standout tracks to me are "Dig me up to Bury Me", "Camera Eye" and my personal favorite "Trash". (Which by the way is also included as an acustical bonus track). I really like the two newer members Mark Simpson & Craig Neilson because they seem to add some new kick to the already solid songwriting tandom of Erick A.K. ( Always Awesome!! but, who I might add also sounds better than he has in the past few releases) Jason B. Ward who is waaay too underated and original guitarist Ed Carlson. For everyone or anyone into what real metal is. Come and Get it!!!!! You wont regret it.

The Voice That Never Changes
This is Canada's worst and most overrated band. They are a disgrace to the country. I am sad to know they are from here and wish they weren't. The singer's voice sounds exactly like the singer from REM which is another horrid band. It is such an annoying and bland voice. It never changes and sounds exactly the same on every song. I especially can't stand My Music At Work which got so sickening I wanted to literally shoot the song. I wanted to kill a song. I don't know how that's possible but after hearing that song I realized it was. What a completely horrible poopy band. And to think they're the band that is generally mentioned first when Canadian rock music is talked about. Pathetic.

Excellent Cordless Phone System
I bought this phone as a replacement for an 2.4Ghz AT&T; cordless that the keypad buttons had worn out. I based my purchase on three main factors:1. Features that I required.2. Motorola brand quality.3. Consumer reviews.All that I can say is...THE REVIEWS WERE RIGHT!! They were all positive!What a Great Phone!!! It was a snap to set up and it has execellent ergononmics, sound quality is crystal clear, and no dead zones that I have found yet in our 2 story house and 1/4 acre lot! I have recieved calls while out from family at home and the voice quality is CRISP!! I could not tell that it was a cordless phone on the other end! Best of all...even my non-tech'y wife loves it!!! I found a WINNER...YES!!

I've always liked this one.
I've read the panned reviews and laughed. It's an experimental album and it works. It's not life or death and can't really be compared to anything. It's like if one were to compare hard house techno to Stravinsky...I'm looking for complex counterpunctual change from the romance period and all I'm hearing is a bass drum repeating at 140 bpms...this sucks. If you don't like early mood setting music from acoustic instruments then you won't like this album. If you like soundscapes and are interested in thier origins then CHECK IT OUT! Simple. The first time I was introduced to this album it was though this drunk guy nicked named 'The Randomizer'. I popped it in and it was on the Klingon part. I never laughed so hard if my life. After a few days my couriosity got to me and I listened again. I liked it.

grayson
This is an incredible book. I would recommend it to anyone, and have bought it many times for friends. it is one of the most helpful books ive ever read, andthe book gives solid, techniques to aid in healing, such as EMDR. I also recommend his audio with Sounds True.I also got it very quickly. My only complaint is, as far as I know they didnt say that someone underlined many portions of the book. That could be my fault, I didnt look closely, so that being said - I would not have bought it if I knew that, as I have a problem with it as I find someone elses notes and underlines distracting. I also wanted to give it as a gift, and now I cant. I did not see this mentioned. I cant afford to give "new" books as gifts, which is why i buy the used ones. so that part was very dissapointing. other than that -- quick service, great book, excellent price.

BUYER BEWARE
This juicer requires that you follow very careful instructions, which I did. I got one glass of juice from it that was delicious. I was psyched. I purchased a whole fridge full of veggies. The juicer died on the second glass of juice. This led to a series of about 10 emails with Breville. They have this poor woman who answers you with phrases obviously written by the PR department about your "quality" juicer. It was obvious from their response that the motor dying is a constant problem. They would not refund; they said they would replace it with a new one. The only thing that saved me from having paid $120 for two glasses of juice was that Amazon refunded. Thank God for Amazon. Even so, what a hassle. A lot of wasted time, effort, and money.

This pitcher is driving me to drink (not water)
I don't think I have ever commented on a product before but feel compelled in this case because it is so over the top. The handle on this Brita filter will NOT stay on. Every time I touch it, not exaggerating here, the plastic handle falls to the floor. When I fill it, it falls off in the sink. When I open the refrigerator, it clatters to the floor. If I look at is funny, bingo. Get the picture? This pitcher is very poorly constructed and I would not recommend it to anyone. Unless, of course, you really enjoy picking things up off the floor over and over again. Buy something else. Seriously. Don't do it.

Too bad i couldnt give it 0 stars
This is the worst movie ever made. Who would ever buy that Christian Slater could be Charlie Luciano??? After he was attacked b Maranzano's people he didnt even have the droopy eye. Jesus. Masseria, they couldn't even say his name right. And MARANZANO (they couldnt even SPELL his name right!) was a nazi, not an italian. Who would buy that nazi that played maranzano as an italian mob boss. Anyone who likes this movie should be shot. and dont even get me started on richard greico. Who invited 21 jump street to this party? if you want a better painted picture of what these guys were like, with ALOT better casting, then get "Lansky" with Richard Dreyfuss. Mobsters is a joke.

Confusing yet rewarding
First of all, this isn't as funny as they say. But, it is a very cool game. Think of it as Paper Mario: The Next Generation. I say this because it uses the "Action Button" system to let you cause more damage and block (sometimes completly avoid) enemy damage. It is confusing because in the overworld, you have to switch between Mario and Luigi, and, for example... The "A" button controls the one in front, "B" is vice-versa. Combat seems a bit strange untill you totally understtand. "A" always controls mario, and vice-versa with "B". Some words of advice; This rule always applies, even if one character is down or just absent. Luckilly, it starts out easy, but will get harder. I won't reveal the story, you can find that out yourself. Basicly, buy if you liked Paper Mario. And, well, you get it! Like I said in my Animal Crossing review, don't play it unless you enjoy games of this genre.

CF Errors
This card worked fine for 2 weeks in my Canon S45. I was able to take an increased amount of pictures and movies. Speed was very good. Then after taking 61 pictures and 2 movies at a party I got download errors on several files. Luckily I got all but 2 pictures downloaded. When I reviewed the images using the camera I got CF Errors on several images. I deleted these images and still got CF errors when trying to display the next images. Something went terribly wrong with the card. I formatted it and took several pictures. I would still get CF errors. I am using the 32MB card that came with the camera with no problems at all. I am now considering the Lexar 24x card or the new 40x card due out this month. I bought a 128MB Viking card for my son and he is having no problems with it at this time. I guess I just got a bad one.

Crazy people are fun!
I am glad this book was reissued. I had not read it for some years. I had forgotten how gripping it is.Wow! The entire family is mad! Nuts! Father is cold and distant, Mother is a clean-freak, Leon is obsessed by Pin, and Ursula (love that name!) cannot stay away from her crazy brother, even though it seems like sometimes she tries to. She even tries to have a normal life and becomes engaged to Stan which ends in disaster.Neiderman is a master at gripping suspense and horror. It is no wonder that he has been so popular for so many years. I always look forward to each and every release from him - even if it is a reissue of one of his older books. I also look forward to every one of his V. C. Andrews books.Yes, a master for sure!

Huge issues. Wireless technology is useless
Love the mouse, I would not give this even one star if it were not for the mouse. The keyboard is not worth the money. It has a couple of nice features like being able to zoom in and out but it has one HUGE issue. The wireless technology is all most useless. It goes in and out constantly. I've had it 6 months and it just gets worse. Changing the batteries doesn't help. You'll be typing and it will skip letters causing you to have to constantly go back and do corrections or it will just go out period and you'll spend several minutes pounding the key and moving the keyboard around trying to find the right spot of the minute. At this point I'm ready to go back to my USB keyboard. At least it works. Love the mouse, it works great and is really comfortable. I'd save your money and just go buy the mouse.

Yawn!
I didn't expect insight from Ann Coulter, but I did expect to be entertained. As one of a trio of shreiking blondes, she enlivened the TV pundit scene during the impeachment era. (She reminded me of a kid in a big family who has to resort to being outrageous to get attention.) But "Slander" is silly, and without Ms. Coulter to emote her words, boring. Well researched and footnoted? Puh-lease! If I'd turned in such a paper to my eighth grade teacher, I'd have been lucky to get a D.I give Coulter credit for being shrewd. It appears that she knew there was an audience for such drivel, and had no scruples against capitalizing on it. No doubt she's made a lot of money on "Slander." I'm just REAL sorry part of that money came out of my pocket. Don't make the same mistake. This book isn't worth your time, let alone your money.

Spunky, Brave and good
It is a very sad thing when a child just cannot be a child. we have seen movies where children are exploited, and that really could have been the case with these kids. but it wasn't. A Chinese immigrant with two young children, works two different jobs when she hears about a big marketing ploy that is great but when she works herself to the bone, and does what is required in order to get a check, she is taken and arrested. The kids don't know where she is. And the young boy sensing something amiss, decides to take the emergency money out of the bank and make his inventions and sell it on the street. Now, to me that is ingenious, because the kids has heart. The ending comes on a semi happy note, but it makes you wonder. They could have gotten hurt, abused, exploited, but they took care of each other and did what they had to do. For the spunk,bravery and can do spirits. For that, this film deserves five shoot more like TEN stars.

Does Not Live Up to the Keurig Name
I will start this review by mentioning that I purchased this contraption to brew coffee and not tea. For brewing coffee it is absolutely useless. My 3 chief complaints are as follows:1.) It makes incredibly weak coffee.2.) It leaves grinds in the coffee. This is due to the design. The water enters the device, pushes the coffee to the side,and then begins to splatter off of the plastic at the bottom. The splatter causes grinds to run down the side and into the cup.3.) It is incredibly messy. You better have a garbage disposal because a lot of grinds are going down your drain.For tea, it actually works well. This is the reason I rated it two stars instead of 1.

Bloodless remake
I couldn't believe how bad a zombie movie this was in the hands of the two people most associated with the Living Dead series. Romero's dialogue is awful, and isn't help by some of the terrible performances (esp. Tom Towles). What I was looking forward to was better special effects than the original due to the bigger budget. The fx sucks. The zombies are boring and the blood looks brownish (chocolate syrup again?) You'd think with Savini behind the camera, the effects would have played an important role in the film (ala Chris Walas' Fly sequel). But the zombie's look like a bunch of drunks. I know that this film had to be cut to get a R rating, but I've seen much gorier films from the 80s. I watched this movie for the second time after seeing Day of the Dead a few days before, and there's no comparison between this and Romero's superior film. And all you people who keep giving this movie 5 stars must have never seen a real horror movie before seeing this snoozefest.

Best game I played after Myst saga!
I loved the story. I tell you right now it has a lot of information to follow and understand the story and game. April ( the main character) has to listen from a lot of wise people to get the puzzles and the situation solved. I didn't have a problem with that. If you played Myst saga, you learned how to be patient and take advantage of everything. And listen. And read a lot. This is a game of patient. The puzzles are not difficult but you won't solve fast. It's about the story and the solution. So be patient. Although I mentioned Myst, it's not like it all the way. But as in Myst, you have to listen to get the clues, to know where to go. You have to read information. So if you thought Myst was boring, don't get this one. April is a student who finds she's a shifter between worlds. This one and another one. And she will find out her destiny because of her gift.

Sheer Disappointment - Where's the music?
I eagerly awaite their arrival, knowing the Shure name and quality from way back to 60's turntable cartridges. What an incredible disappointment! While I must say the clarity is astonishing, it's as though 1/2 the music is missing. The mid range is far and the base non-existent. I don't mean it wasn't boomy or that kind of stuff. It simply isn't here leaving me feeling as though 1/2 the song is missing. The biggest bummer is the redicoulous re-stcking fee I'll have to pay to return them. There is no retailer I could find that carries high end ear buds, let alone is there a way to audition them except to buy and pay if not satisified.I'd stear clear of these if you're any kind of a real audio buff. For the pros? I think not. I'm listening to huge audio files encoded in Windows Media Lossless format. The $50 Skull Candy headphones far surpass the enjoyment of these.

The book is so much better..though not sure how much is true
I read the book first before seen either BBC or Hollywood movie. I have also read many other books on the subject of Anne Boleyn and the era. I was really disappoint with the movie. The many of the charactors would have "Diary camera" talk to explain thoughts. I always felt like I was watching Real World. The film had a very small budget and the customs/sets seem to be missing the glamor of Tudor look. I felt the script was missing important parts from the book. Mary grew up in France and her husband was chosen by King Henry VIII. She did not have just one child with Henry but two. Don't get me talking about hollywood movie...such a bad movie!! It's better to read the book and imagine their world. Both movies are not worth seeing.

Dull dynastic politics
I never thought I'd find a Jane Lindskold book that I didn't like, but I have to say (sadly) that I really couldn't get on with Through Wolf's Eyes. It starts out excitingly enough. Firekeeper is a feral child, brought up by wolves. The descriptions of her life with the wolves are utterly fascinating and quite wonderful (Lindskold out-Kiplings Kipling here). But all too quickly the story degenerates into soap opera when Firekeeper comes back into contact with humanity.Years ago, it seems, Prince Barden led a colonising expedition out into the wilderness. Nothing has been heard from him since. However, if any of the Prince's children are still alive, they could be heirs to the kingdom. The throne is vacant and a claimant is needed. Earl Kestrel goes searching in the wilderness.You can write the rest yourself, and you won't be wrong. Dynastic politics and aristocratic intrigues are dull as ditchwater. Even Jane Lindskold can't make them interesting.

Just before they arrive, the recovering government has sent out a team to thradonform another planet.While Ket, Bobby and the other humans are welcomed with open arms, the science team on the other planet has been attacked and occupied by another alien race. Bobby and Ket turn Thradon upside down by introducing Shakespeare to the theater market while getting the movie industry started. Everything seems rosy and the changes are good. Then the fate of the thradonforming expedition is learned and its off to the rescue.A very nice and fun follow-up to BOBBY'S GIRL. The action is good without being too heavy. The drama remains serious without compromising the feel-good nature of the book. All in all a pretty fun read and a must for those who enjoyed BOBBY'S GIRL.

Not everyone.
TFF haven't done anything worth listening to in over 20 years. Come on, you know I'm right. Even Fish For Life was better than anything post-SFTBC. The Hurting was superb. SFTBC was good, albeit overplayed at the time. But ever since? Please. They've been grasping, struggling to re-live the past. It isn't going to happen. Even with Curt back in the fold. There comes a time in many an artists' career when an objective truth must be spoken. Guys, let me be the one: It's Over.

Tons of orc slashin fun.
Picked this one up on sale at a Kaybee Toys in my area. You get a sensor base and a plastic sword. The sensor picks up all your movements in real time. You slash vertical, horizontal, and diagonal all in real time. As you progress you get special moves that are executed by several sword swipes in succession. The game picks up your movements in real time which is pretty impressive. There is a ton of strategy here as you have slash, block, and counter attack. The varied enemies all have different attack patterns, strengths and weaknesses. There are some really cool boss encounters as well. My only gripe is the graphics arent so hot. I grew up on the atari 2600 so this isnt an issue for me but for some, it might be. I highly recomend this game if you are an old school gamer who loves solid gameplay more than good looking graphics.

Don't waste your money
First and foremost, this product does not do what it is advertized to do. The software did not install at all. I had to go to their website and download the latest software and diagnostics. And I spent far too much time trying to just get the software up and running. Second, the item did NOT measure any contrast on my LCD monitor. When I called tech support, which did call back the next day, they said it is common for contrast to not be properly read on LCD monitors and to use the default contrast setting. Huh? He then tried to talk me into upgrading to the Display 2, which has a lot more functionality, for $99 but he thought he could get me 25% off. I thought they should have given me a much better deal than that to compensate me for a product that did not work as advertized. I sent this back and hope I get my money back. It is NOT worth your $$$; spend it on something else.

Fantastic Appetizers
The dozen or more recipes tried from this book have been terrific. I am primarily interested in appetizers that can be made ahead, frozen and re-heated. A large number of the recipes fit this criteria. I have bought several copies as gifts for friends based on the recipes I have tried and I've enjoyed this book as much as I enjoy my new beverage of choice. Made from 100% organic soy, taste just like coffee and no caffeine. Finally, I got rid of that wired up feeling all day and feeling great. Look for it on the net by googling "s o yfee".A wide variety of outstanding "receipts" from elegant to casual. A collection of recipes that allows the hostess [or host] to theme a party or go eclectic. This book has the original party mix that includes Cheerios. Enjoy!!!

A Pretty Good Movie But Nothing New!
This is a great movie don't get me wrong. But it's like so many other movies. This FBI agent girl gets into a case and has to track down some guy. The movie has some twists but it's pretty much predictable. You can pretty much guess through the whole movie and be right. There is some action but not alot. There are some gory scenes but they are really not that gory. There isn't really anything that special on the dvd. It just has some basic bonus footage you can see in about every dvd. If your sick of predictable movies and worn out acting stay far away. But if your new to the genre looking for a kind of scary slow action paced movie this would be your best be.

replace the bag with handle
The water bag is clumsy and unnecessary. The metal crosspiece is dangerous and unnecessary. You don't need them. Put the 's' hook directly onto the harness. Instead of a weight or waterbag use a handle tied to the rope. I use a short piece of plastic pipe for a handle. A small hand barbell could be used. I pull on the rope gently and steady for 15 - 30 seconds then release gently. after a few seconds I repeat. I do this for 10 to 20 minutes. The purpose is to stop the muscle spasms (which is the cause of the problem) with out stretching the ligaments to much. Continual pulling for several minutes at a time often causes more spasms, even muscle injury, and stretches the ligaments causing possible further injury because the bones are not held in place properly. Do not continue if this causes pain! And remember to drink more water to inflate the sponge like discs.

How this became a "classic" is puzzling to me
I had not read this book since I was a teen and my Son mentioned he recently read it & loved the book. I picked up a copy and figured since he generally makes good recommendations to me, it would be worth reading again. WRONG!I suppose if you like reading about someone who has some "issues" or difficulty fitting in with peers, this book could appeal to you. That being said, the story just rambles, doesn't seem to have an actual story line, just randomness. I was neither inspired nor entertained by it. The story left me wondering who determines what is an "American Classic". Half way through the book, I was hoping the story would suddenly grab me. Regretfully, that never happened. I would recommend not wasting your time (or money) on this book. When I finished the book, the only positive feeling I had was now I could begin reading another book. I truly wondered why a publisher would have agreed to publish this book.

Tops in its category
This is my first digital SLR. I have an old PowerShot A50 and a very old Canon AE-1 35mm film camera. This camera is really a great blend of the two. With all of the options available you can take as much control as you want over the exposure. The resolution is excellent. I found the real limitation of my old digital was the low resolution. For 4x6 prints it was great, but you really couldn't do much else. The 10D has over 6 megapixels, which give you much more flexibility in Photoshop. As a real SLR it can take any EOS lense. I have the 50/1.8 and the 24-85. I can't stress how great the quality of this camera is. From the magnesium case to the excellent software package, Canon really did this one right.

Generally Useless and a Waste of Money
I have both Haynes Fiero manual (1999 edition) and Chilton Fiero manual. Except for detail differences, both are the same and both are nearly useless as they lack any sort of detailed information or instructions. Information on headlight motor repair or replacement? Nope. Information that the troublesome "Gen1" headlight motors were replaced with much more reliable "Gen2" motors and controllers for 1987/88? Nope. How about the totally revised REAR suspension for 1988? Nope. But, and get this, "All 1988 models are equipped with a redesigned FRONT suspension system." The changes to the rear suspension for 1988 were far more drastic than the changes to the front suspension, but neither manual addresses these changes. How about information on the taillights? Nothing. Zero. Nada. Want to work on a Fiero? Go online and search for a "how to" for what you want to do and don't waste your money or time on either of these ... publications.

Versatile & fantastic!
It takes me less than 20 minutes to clean a ceiling, any ceiling! They don't drip all over you or the floor. They make washing walls a breeze and you know that space behind the toilet that you can't reach? Try one of these! I highly recommend these for house cleaning of all kinds. I started out owning one and I'm up to 3 mop handles and 6 chenille heads. I don't have to move furniture, I can reach over things and behind things. The housekeepers delight for sure. I have been using these for about 3 years now and can't say enough good about them. They cut my cleaning time and effort...cleaning ceilings and walls used to take me hours in just one room now takes less than an hour for the entire LARGE room. You can even clean your car with it if you like. *Grin

Ha!
I have a middle-grades child who is almost completely resistant to language arts. If he catches a whiff, he transforms into Surly Man. And yet, it must be tackled.A book like this one, or Jon Agee's "Orangutan Tongs"Orangutan Tongs: Poems to Tangle Your Tongueor Adam Rex's "Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich"Frankenstein Makes a Sandwichcan get a child this age over the hump and help him get into the poetry side of things. Also try "A Light in the Attic"A Light in the Atticor "Runny Babbit"Runny Babbit: A Billy Sookby Shel Silverstein.The book is funny and gross and perfect for a big kid who Just. Doesn't. Want. To. Learn. About. Iambic. Pentameter. Or sonnets. Limericks. Etc.Give it a try.

Could have done way better
I would recommend the out of the box cd. It is way better to listen to the album than watch it. I couldnt tell if this was a Prince or Usher concert or a gospel concert. I was seriously waiting for Michael Jackson to make an appearance on the stage. The dvd has way too much self promotion on it and at the same time some sacreligious pictures like where tonex replaces Jesus and puts his face(doesnt make sense). Alot of worldy material on here too, Way too much distractions. Is he suppose to be a man of God looking and dancing like that? Looks like a rock star to me. Towards the end it was alright with Sheila E. and Kirk Franklin but could have been better. This dvd DOES NOT fit in the "MUST HAVE" catergory, I recommend, Israel and Newbreed "live from another level" or Marvin Sapp "Dairy of a Psalmist" those dvds are must have gospel dvds. Im not satisfied with this dvd.

Product is great, but Amazon does NOT equal to
In fact, Amazon's prices on electronics are generally pretty expensive, such as in this case. Right now, there are numerous Internet stores out there that offer this same camera for only around (...). Even after accounting for shipping price, the total would only be around . (...)That's some (...) cheaper than what Amazon sells for. Yet, Amazon is advertising itself as "Amazon.com equals low prices"?? Give me a break! It even pretends to care about being competitive in pricing by providing a link that asks customers to tell them of lower prices elsewhere. But even after you inform them of substantially lower prices elsewhere, there is rarely any reaction on Amazon's part. So this "low prices" thing that Amazon constantly displays is actually a charade. Don't let Amazon.com rip you off!!!

One fatal mistake
The dictionary is very good and very useful. I absolutely love it.Recommend it.Having said that, the CD- though very good- only shows how greedy and pathologically overcautious this company Longman is. Who in the world came up with the idea of authenticating the cd once a month? Why can't we just punch in a registration number at the time of installation? Wouldn't this give Longman peace of mind and make us - customers - happy? Why can't they take care of this problem? What would take to bring their attention to such an obvious flawed feature?I lost my CD. You know what that means? I lost my money as well.I don't appreciate that Longman. You should have fixed this problem long time ago. One star you're getting because of that.I hope you read reviews.

Great game dissapointingly crippled by DRM
Spore is a fantastic game. You may only get 10-20 hours of gameplay out of it if you call yourself a 'gamer' but for anyone with even a casual interest in games, its well worth the $50. the gameplay is fantastic.The problem is that you are treated like a criminal for buying this game. You are allowed *one* login per cd-key. and once the game has been reinstalled 3 times. you have to call and plead to EA that you arent a criminal. Its a shame that they chose to use the invasive securrom copy protection. The fact is, the protection was removed a week before spore came out by random internet people. You can download this game easily, for free, with no DRM. The DRM adds nothing to the customer experience, does not prevent copying, and treats you like a criminal.This game does not cost $50. it costs $50 per person, per computer.

Brilliant.
How could the American Film Institute leave this off of the top 100 films of all time? This film is absolutely brilliant. Sharp, witty, humorous and insightful, this is a movie that appeals to anyone and everyone. Gene Wilder's performance is eerily magnificent. The scripts and sets reward those who are scrutinous and attentive. In nearly every new scene, there is a little "hidden" joke that easily slips out of the normal viewer's sight. Watch the movie again, and pay close attention...you'll see what I'm talking about. I have seen this movie easily over hundreds of times. It is constantly in my DVD player...a great addition to anyone's movie collection. Many critics complain about this movie's oddities, but after watching it again, their comments are silenced. This movie has it all: Humor, suspense, deep and intriguing moments, lessons, advice, wit and overall entertainment. A joy to the eyes, ears, and mind.

As bad as it gets
Betrayal is the worst wwf game that will ever be made. It is so bad that you will seel it or throw it away. You will end up selling it to a store because nobody will want it.Every character is the same so it doesn't matter who you are. The only difference is the finishing moves but it does the same amount of damage. The Stone Cold Stunner looke like a bulldog, you will end up breaking your gameboy because you have to keep pressing buttons when you are dizzy. Each level takes about 30 seconds and there are only 6 levels. Also, there are only 4 characters. The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. I am a wwf fan, and I still hate this game. I don't even play it anymore. I beat the game with every character in about 1 hour. A 4 year old could beat this game in 2 hours. DO NOT BUY OR EVEN RENT THIS GAME!!!!!IT IS A WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!

Roxio is incapable of making a product that works
I used to have an older verion on Roxio on my Dell Pentium 4 and from the very start this program would constantly crash, lock up, and fail while burning CD's. I used to think that my computer was too slow to handle the software. Well, I purchased a brand new computer with the newest version of Roxio pre-installed on it. Guess what? It does the same thing. It crashes constantly. It fails constantly. It locks up. It can't even manage to do the simplest of things like properly register the software via the internet. I decided to compare Roxio by downloading a demo version of Nero. Wow! What a difference! Nero blows this product out of the water. I couldn't delete the Roxio from my computer fast enough. Unfortuantely I was out the $$ for their program. They don't provide any sort of guarantee with their product. Don't waste your time or money on Roxio software!

Sorry...but I'm still looking.
Bought this about two months ago and am already on a search to replace this mediocre (at best) toaster.Here's the problem:1. While I appreciate the separate bagel setting. If you actually want to ever use this to toast bagels don't waste your money. There isn't a bagel made that you won't have to try and cram into the (supposedly) wide bagel slot. They just don't fit !!2. How is it that a toaster can only toast one side of bread? At first I thought I was doing something wrong. I'm not the best cook, but was it possible I'd forgotten how to make toast? But over and over again...one side of the bread is toasted, one side is not toasted.So here's the cons:1. Bagels don't fit.2. It doesn't make toast properly.Other than that it's a great toaster : -)PS: I gave it two stars because it "looks" like a nice toaster. I thought whoever designed it deserved some stars.

Best for beginning, but not of career
I bought this album just after I bought the #1's. Vision Of Love, is a pretty ballad I didn't like when I first heard it, but it's a good song. There's Got To Be A Way is my favorite song from the album, I like the choir singing in the end. I don't Wanna Cry is a little bit boring, but it was #1 in US. Someday, hummm, I like the Unplugged and the Extended versions of this song. Vanishing is a classic of Mariah's best vocal songs. All In Your Mind is my second favorite song from the album, cause it has dance sound. Alone In Love is not so good as the others, but I like a bit. You Need Me, when I first listened to this song, I remembered of the times in 1990, and I thought I had listened to this song before, it's very cool. Sent From Up Above and Prisoner are two songs that I like to listen. Love Takes Time is a good ballad I like to sing.I'm a big fan of Mariah Carey's albums, so if I give her five stars, I will be unfair, cause nobody's so perfect like this.

Not worth $20
This book is poorly constructed for the following reasons.1. Many repeats in References: For instance, Ref [91] & [140] is a repeat of Ref [11]. Ref [85] & [112] is a repeat of Ref [20]. And many more.2. Too many mistakes in contents.For example, Fig. 18 in Chapter is wrong in terms of signal playbacks.Another example is Fig. 10 in Chapter 2 is not clear which field it is. Is it perpendicular component or longitudinal component?One more example: Fig. 53 in Chapter 2 should have (a) & (b), but you don't find them in the figure.One more: Fig. 11 in Chapter 4 is exactly the same to Fig. 2 in Chapter 3.You can find many errors and repeats like aforementioned points in every chapter.I paid full price (~$120); however, after reading it, I would suggest authors to pay me back for all the errors/mistakes highlighted after reviewing the whole book.

Not too bad...
It is the same plot structure as the majority of his other books. As someone else has stated here in a review, the same sequence of events happen in this book as they did in his others. Richard goes on adventure. Richard can't control his magic and has no idea how to use it. Richard gets sick. Zedd is once again not with Richard. Zedd and Adie get in trouble. Kahlan gets captured. Richard comes to the rescue of Kahlan. Richard finally meets up with a wizard to help him understand the magic, but he runs in the other direction yet again. Richard gets better. So we are right back where we started..almost exactly where they book started.Anyways..it is still a good read..I just hope that he breaks from the current plot mold he is stuck in.

The Gremlins
I grew up with this book and have always had a soft spot for it. Roald Dahl has given us some pretty fantastic stories and this, being his first, is very special. The setting of the Second World War and the problems of the RAF fighter pilots is given a unique twist by using these fictional beings. Their antics are both humorous and serious. "War is hell" but with a twisted smile here. Dahl has kept his "twist" through out most of his writings so it's fun to see the beginning. The Disney characters are timely and representative of the story, I'm especially fond of the Fifinellas with their curly horns and demure manner. The Widgets are cute too. The book is wonderful for both children and adults. Enjoy!!

One of Kind movie
This movie is one of my favorite. I watched this movie growing up and still loving it. The chemistry of the characters are just perfect. Dennis Quaid and Martin Short are meant for this movie. Sure, the plot is hard to believe..How can a person be shrink into size of a cell? But what about all other movies out there? So for those of you who complain that this movie is not plausible, Go ahead and try to make a plausible movie that is close to realism for your self. Sick of people like you. Duh.Anyway, the DVD itself is not a big deal. The case itself is flimsy. The DVD has commentary of director and few of the actors from the movie and has the original trailer of the movie. The commentary is fun to listen to if you are the fan of this movie. It tells you lots of trivia information, but it's funny. So if you like this movie, get it for yourself. I don't think they are going to release any further edition of this movie.

Wonderful, witty, fun, refreshing! Excellent read!
This young author has been given the talent to hold her readers' attention. As I read this book, I was left wondering "who dunit". It's lighthearted, witty, trilling....well, you get the picture. The characters are first-class. The plot is original. I enjoyed this book because it was an excellent mystery and just plain fun to read. I didn't want to put it down until the end. Reagen Rielly is a refreshing change from the other P.I. She's a young woman made for the crime world. I indeed had a wonderful time reading this book. It's for anyone who wants a trilling, page-turning mystery.

Lye soap is rumored to be good for all kinds of complaints, including rosacea, eczema, poison ivy, dandruf, oily skin, oily hair, and even - as the wrapper on this soap suggests - foul mouthed children.I've had my eczema under control for a few years, but not my dandruf. My skin and hair have remained oily no matter what I do - not for lack of trying to control it, mind you. After a move, I started to have a pretty bad outbreak. I remmebered seeing this stuff in a local hardware store, so I thought I'd give it a try.Oily skin? Not anymore. Hair? Nope. Dandruf? Seems under control. Eczema? It's only been a few days, but it's coming back under control.Holy cow, this stuff is good.

"Winter Wonderdog" is a neat-o DVD.
I've finally gotten a DVD player for Christmas, and I am delighted. This is one of the four DVDs that I have gotten to go along with it. This is somethin' else. There is a neat little menu with festive music playing where you never have to worry about hurrying to decide what part you want to watch on it. By the way, while I'm at it, I might as well you about some of the special features that they've failed to mention. On this DVD, there are the four episodes along with English, Spanish, and French languages and subtitles. Perfect if you want to learn another language. There are also trailers and coming attractions.Extras including Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo music videos, quick lessons on how to draw Scooby-Doo and the gang and much more.The colors on this DVD are incredible as well as the sound. You'll love Scooby even more. If you're a Scooby fan, this is one you must have. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Little kids ought to love this. Scooby-Dooby-Doo!!

Cool, durable and fast!
This rc car is really cool. It has really nice detail. The wheels, the paint job and the car itself are real nice. It is pretty durable. My 1 1/2 year old son uses it. He will pick it up and play with and sometimes throw it across the room. The car still works and it hasn't broken. It takes 3 aa and 1 9volt. The batteries last a long time. It has been two weeks since I have changed them using it about 5 to 10 minutes through out each day. The remote control is pretty durable too. Usually the antennas break or snap off. Not this one. This one doesn't seem like it will break off. It is very flexible and pops straight back up when it is bent. It is pretty fast that you can use it at home without crashing everywhere. It is not too slow where it gets boring. It is a pretty decent speed that you can control and maneuver the car. Overall a great rc toy that is cool, durable and fast.

Not Great
This game is not what I expected it to be. I was really hoping for it to be an open battle game like the Two Towers and The Return of the King. I don't like how you have to go in to a battle similar to the Pokemon format. I also hoped you could be members of the Fellowship (especially Aragorn, Legalos, and Gandalf)But the graphics are unbelievable. Some of the best I've ever seen. I don't like how when your just walking and a battle comes up. Too much like Pokemon. I dont know about you but I hate Pokemon games. I am sticking to The Return of the King and The Two Towers. But then again I'm not a huge RPG fan. But whatever.

Graphics Virgin!
I read this on recommendation from a bookstore professional. I've never read a graphic novel. She cautioned me about some of the drawings, but there is nothing that isn't in a PG13 movie anyway, and this is more appropriate by far!! This was a great reading adventure not only because of the drawings, but because it is so beautifully written as well. The subtleties of A.B.'s drawings are as interesting as the sensitive way she tells her story. They really balanced each other, telling a story any of us who grew up in the 60's/70's can relate to. There were no labels for the various "dysfunctions" as there are today and children raised by compulsive people had no way to interpret the terrain. Yet, no matter what, most children love their parents, as evidenced by the efforts of both Alison and her mother & father. This is an exceptionally well exceucted memoir. I loved it! It will be my next book club choice for discussion.

Cant even get through this book, its that painful to read
IM sorry but this just might take first place in the worst star wars novels list. Its really painful to read. Im trying so hard to finish but its just so bad I get bored and a bad headache after 1 or 2 pages. Nothing makes sense, we got talking gamoreans wearing stormtrooper. The author tries to make everything sound important by making up long strange words blended with long words I dont think she even knows the meanings too. Luke is a wimp and keeps passing out. Its just really really painful. There are some books in star wars that should be skipped. I havent even finished this mess and I can tell you its already one of them. In fact I may just go ahead and stop trying with this piece of trash. Dont believe me, well I and it seems most reviewers on here tried to warn you.

True Hip Hop
I bought this album back in 95. I havent stopped listening to it since. I remember people at my school had no idea who The Roots were. I told them "You will soon enough". Unfortunately it took about 4 more years until the rest of the world found out who these guys were. I have every Roots album (Including the somewhat hard to find "Organix CD) and I must admit this is there best. The beats are hypnotizing. The rhymes are just pure improvinizational masterpieces!! Everything on this album works. In a time when a lot of hip hop is just glamorizing and showboating...its refreshing to hear music like this. Ok I'll stop boring everyone just go out and buy this album you wont be dissapointed!!!!!!!!!

One of the best motion pictures that I have ever seen
This is such a complex, multi-faceted movie. It mixes comedy and romance and drama and adds a dash of general fiction. It's a happy/sad movie. The story is totally original, and the screenplay is excellent. The directing is really good, and the special effects aren't too overwhelming. This emotional rollercoaster of a movie leaves you feeling sad, happy, thoughtful, cheerful, all at the same time. All of the acting (Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, etc.) give excellent performances. Lindsay Lohan does a superb job as a quiet, boring, conventional human named Cady, quite unlike her normal performances. Rachel McAdams also gives an enthralling performance as the exciting, spontaneous, wacky Regina. The other minor characters are a bit underdeveloped, but the movie is quite enjoyable nonetheless. Catch this movie while it's still being sold in stores; it's not one you can easily forget! ENJOY!!!!!

Good music from good guitarplaying people.
This album is a little underrestimated. This album is not a big blockbuster, and not so good as the Dire Straits records, and the rest of the M.Knopfler albums, but it's a very good album, anyway. M.Knopfler is the best musician on this record, and Dave Edmunds is also good, but not so skillful as MK. Dave Edmunds and the other guys does show up more then M.Knopfler in the songs. But MK is not whith on only one track here, he appears on more tracks here. Mostly on guitar. And don't forget about Pick Whiters, a great drummer, he's playing drums on some tracks.And a very good typicall picture at MK to, from the on every street tour. Can't be wrong. He look's a little bit like me.It's all about real rockblues music. So if you really are a great strait-fan ,and then of cause, a big MK-fan, then you better buy this Album too. / Thanks. John.L

What a load of Rubbish
okay this is my 2nd to first most rubbish animorphs book. WHY KA? WHY? The torment!! Rachel Dead? I was in tears!! POOR RACHEL! It was bad enough you killed her, my fav character. But you made it so it seemed Marco didnt care about Rachel and hes really happy!? WHY DID YOU WRITE ALL THAT RUBBISH ABOUT them going onto tv programs and rubbish?! And y the cliffhanger ending. What or who was that "One?" what happened to Ax? if you had got rid of that rubbish the book would be slightly better!It was not up to your usual standard K A. It seems as if you spent 30 mins awake only by drinking strong coffee writing this book! Where were the parents? What happened to Jakes parents?! What about Rachels dad? If only K A could write this book again with her usual class and perfection, spending time over it. Sorry K A, i had to let out what I felt about this book.

Hellyeah
I've read a lot of reviews on this band both on here and on other web sites. For the most part they all seem negative. These reviews were in part why I simply stayed clear from this band. Recently I had the chance to hear for myself. Here is what I think.It's a mix of Mudvayne and Pantera. More Mudvayne then Pantera, but still a nice mix. That being said if you like both bands I don't see any reason not to like this band. I really love Mudvayne's vocals and Vinnie Paul is one of my favorite drummers so needless to say I really enjoy this band.Lyrics are not anything special, however that doesn't concern me. I'm not interested in meaningful lyrics I just want something enjoyable to listen to.As far as the guitar work is concerned, it's no dimebag. Then again, is anything other then Pantera?To sum this up I will just say this. I really like this band. Buy it.

There's a Paradox To Critical Acclaim.
The only reason so much backlash surrounds this album is because it is so acclaimed & adored by everyone. If it never had gotten the attention it did, all those same people who diss it would have shrines for it & pray to it daily. It's the elitist way of life. But if you are a person who's actually interested in music & not social status, I'd advise you to get a pair of headphones, put this in, sit back & let it take you. Headphones work best if you want to get the full affect of such an amazing experience. Creativity & muse leap boundlessly from song to song & suck you into it's sprawling sonic entrypoint. Each instrumentally eclectic song is a work of art all on it own. There are moments of such intense beauty (Namely: The climax of "Let Down", The bass line of "Lucky", etc.) that it's almost unbearable & will send chills pulsing through your body. I once again emphisize using headphones oppose to a stereo or a computer, & turn the volume all the way up. Ok?

Pointless
I watched this movie, having unfortunately bought into the hype. However, after 78 minutes I was left thinking what was the whole point. Yes, its a movie about revenge - but how jaded is that idea? The two protagtonists seemed to stumble from one scene to the next - the film didn't seemed to 'flow' well. It was as if the producers were trying to shock their audience with each scene. I was not horrified, as some people have been, by the anti-male udercurrent in the movie (all it portrayed was that some women hate men. Wow!). However, I would not view this as some masterpiece of arthouse cinema. The violence was not as graphic as Tarrantino has been (especially in Dusk Till Dawn, where he was particularly gratuitous) Similarly the violence was not as random as Natural Born Killers. The sex scenes were annoying and pointless (all they showed was that men are only thinking of sex. Again, wow!)Maybe I have become completely desensitized, but this movie was irritating and annoying.

Much less , than I expected .
The commercials for this film made me believe , this will be a very good movie . Commercials was wrong ! This was ( and still is ) just a medioca film with very good actors .Kevin Costner is a one of the best actors in the USA ... but even him couldn't save a very downhill script . Welcome to reality !? Story is promissing : his wife died in acsident in South America ...but he can feel her around the house ... he can se her ... he can tell , she is still around ! And she wants him to get the massage ! We don't know , what the massage is ... but we understand - there is one to exist . Nobody believes him ... all his friends thinks - he is getting crasy ... you are all wrong !- we feel . Exellent field for intrigue , developing of the story ... it didn't develope anywhere ???! We found ourselfes in the dead end . I don't know why ... May be ... not enough talant ??? May be . But not in the actors side . They performed on highest level !

Automator is King Midas...
...because everything he touches is golden. I think this is some of his best work, too. He's already wowed anybody who picked up his other producing efforts (Dr. Octagon, Handsome Boy Modelling School, Deltron 3030, etc.), but this is amazing. To hear his sampling genious behind trip-hop and rock songs is so... fun! I don't know how else to describe it. It's just a wonderful listen. Of course the producing wouldn't amount for much if he wasn't allied with great artists, and Damon, Miho, and Del don't disappoint. Props to Jamie Hewlett for the concept of this group, which is so refreshing in this age of photogenic boy bands and teenage divas churning out crap on a weekly basis. Let me get this straight, is he on base, too? It doesn't matter! And that's what is great about this band! I hope 2-D, Russel, Noodle, and Murdoc keep at it!

Toxic Warning
The crackers we received went out of date 04/2009. That's not the worst part. You can't see the expiration date because it's on the INSIDE flap of the box and it must be opened and really searched for to see. Because of this we tasted them before we saw the expired date. These crackers have been stored somewhere where fumes from exhaust or nearby stored chemicals have also been stored for a long, long time. The crackers have been steeped in fumes to the point they are caustic. It made me run to wash out my mouth. My son tasted one at the same time before I could prevent it. He was sick on the spot. I've called Amazon and explained in detail our experience and I hope no one else is poisoned. Someone right now should be going to this warehouse in Nevada and investigating their hazardous food storage practices.

Fake, counterfeit brush head, beware
When i started using these it seemed fine, then after about one week i noticed it was not brushing as well. So i examined it more carefully. I noticed the brush head wiggled alot more. No longer did it just go in a circular motion. The head now moved side to side and kinda flailed around while on. So its intended circular motion no longer worked well. So i though maybe it was just a bad one. I got out the next one, and 2 weeks latter. Same thing happened.So i compared it to a genuine one from walmart, and noticed some differences. It was missing a serial number through the little window on the back, and the plastic piece up in the inside was different as well. Also pivoting piece attached to the head (This is what comes loose and causes the head to move erratic) on the inside that you can see through those three small windows.

I'm disappointed! :o(
We recently were looking for the peaceful planet aquarium from fisher price. My friend's new baby has it and my son loved it. The lights are wonderful, the music is great, and the kids adore it. But, as fisher price often does, they discontinued it and made the ocean wonders aquarium. I do not like this toy! I most definetly would not recommend buying this for your little one. The music is loud even on the lowest volume setting and the music is anything but soothing! The lights are a crude white in contrast to the soft blue of the peaceful planet aquarium and unlike the peaceful planet aquarium, the ocean wonders aquarium does not have the window that projects the light onto the ceiling and walls. I am extremely disappointed with my purchase. My son does not care for the toy, either. (Which is most important!)

Let's face it, the book sucks.
The reviewer from West Hollywood takes the most pretentious, pompous tone of them all, telling everyone to just calm down, etc etc etc. Face it, the book is awful. No, the bad reviews are not about Hollywood jealousy. The bad reviews are about reviewing a bad book honestly. The reason, I believe, the reviews take a personal tone is that the book is written in such personal tone. Ever meet someone who makes you vomit? Ever meet someone who makes you roll your eyes? That's what this book brings out in the reader. It's just too personal a take on the experience-- and it's the voice of this annoying girl that are making readers gag or take offense. That's what this book brings out in people. Maybe if the book was just slightly more objective in writing, so would the reviews.

Too many bugs and glitches
Installation went OK on my new iMac 2.8 Core2 Duo. Basic functions looked working fine. Internet connection had no problem. However, as soon as you try to do something more sophisticated, it doesn't work at all. Often times it hangs without any obvious reason and only way to get out of the status is reboot. Seamless mode never worked as advertised. No customer support. Forget about drag and drop between Mac and Windows - it will crash. It cannot detect external hard drive that is connected via USB. It cannot even handle Windows automatic update. Can't believe I paid $79 for this piece of junk. Do not buy this product. Their version should be 0.1.7 or something. Not even close to 1.0.

This is a USED toy for retail prices!
I wish I would have read the reviews. It has problems. It is used and repackaged. It doesn't work all that well, but my daughter loves it. I don't have anything against used toys, but I have something against a $40 used toy that I would have paid $4.00 for at a yard sale. It is scratched, loose, doesn't move properly, everything everyone else said. I live overseas on a military base. So returning and re-ordering (not from this guy) would have taken at least a month. She was not letting go of him as soon as she saw him so there you go. I went back and forth w/ Amazon who finally gave me $10 of the $40 back as a refund. So, I think that is the end of it. Still...$30 for a used toy is almost as bad. Amazon has always done right by us, dunno why they are still letting this vendor sell.

Britney keeps getting better all the time!
Though I like Britney's first CD, I have to say that it is lacking substance. Songs like "E-mail My Heart" and "Soda Pop" are catchy, but pointless! Lets face it. On her new album, the songs have a point! "Stronger" talks about proving yourself and increasing your self confidence, and "Lucky" talks about a young celebrity's hardships. Not only do the songs have more substance, but her voice sounds more refined and matured, like she put more effort and time into the recording. There is also more variety. It reminds me a lot of 'N Sync's new CD. I think Britney is maturing and it shows in her music. If she keeps this up, she'll be around for years to come! I just hope she starts writing some of her own material!

Simple garage door opener
I used this 1 button replacement door opener for the 3 button, light, entry codes, etc. openers provided with the original garage door opener. We needed a 3rd door opener for my teenage son (3rd driver). We received 2 openers with the original garage door system.For some folks, it might be useful to have the 3 button, full function garage door remote opener. For us, we just have the garage door opener, so the 1 button remote is far more useful. I switched to the 1 button, since I got tired of fumbling around with the 3 button product. I regularly hit the wrong button while approaching the house and the door didn't open. This 1 button solution is far more useful to me because - it only has 1 button - completely removing any operator-error on my part.Very happy with this solution. 5 year battery. 1 button. No headaches (anymore) with "did I hit the right button".

DOES NOT WORK............
I purchased this iron after the glowing reviews. I do not iron, I do not need to iron. I bought this iron after my daughter complained that the iron I had was lousy. I bought the iron, used it once, maybe twice. I thought, great, I have a good iron for when my daughter visits. That was over a year ago. It hasn't been used since. Yesterday, I needed to iron my Thanksgiving tablecloth. I dug out the "good iron" and plugged it in. It did not get hot, then the light that lets you know the iron is on, would not stay lit. Essentially, the iron turns off right after it is turned on. Maybe a short somewhere? Too much time has passed so I can not return it. BUMMER! The iron is brand new back in its brand new box, of no use to me.

Pretty Good
I bought this book to supplement my QM grad course. It did a so-so job. The best chapter is where he introduces the 3-D picture. He introduces angular momentum very well. In fact his presentation is the most clear I've seen. Only have reading Morrison did the 3-D shro. equ. and how the ang. mom. operator comes into the picture click. Morrison does a good job with teaching the reader to deal in terms of eigenvalue equations (a thing he harped on a lot in his first book).There are downsides though. The biggest is that he does not cover WKB approximation. And his dealing with Perturbation Theory in general is not that good and the notation not helpful.Overall, it might be nice to buy if you need some help in QM 2. Another advantage is that it's not too expensive.

A fantastic movie!
I will admit that this wasn't what I expected. King Arthur has always been one of my favorite collection of stories. So, when it came out it was all I could talk about for a few days. You know there is some movie scores that annoy me or depress me, but this one made me want to fall on my knees and cry. Beautifully done! It's the reason I loved Gladiator so much. All the characters did a great job at bringing the story to life. However, Lancelot's character disappointed me very much. That was Arthur's right hand man. He was not supposed to oppose Arthur's decision nor criticize his religion. And then he died. But, other than that, it was a wonderful show. Great music, great characters, great story, who could ask for more! If you haven't seen this one I strongly recommend it! It is worth the money!

Forgettable
How anyone can rank this album as The Cars' "best" or "finest" is completely beyond me. I own all their albums and this is by far the worst of the lot. When you want an honest review of an album, just check out the used price. $1.68. Knowhuddamean?None of the songs are great. The best of them fall somewhere between listenable and good. Several are painful to sit through. The worst of them has to be Fine Line, which just sits there in front of you, endlessly droning on and on and on for well over five minutes. OK, I get it already. There's a fine line between us.The Cars crossed that line with Door to Door. If this album shows where they were headed musically I'm glad it was their last. Sometimes I think it's a shame they didn't call it quits after Heartbeat City and go out on a good note.

Grating
I really enjoyed "Love Songs" by Anne Sofie Von Otter and Mehldau, so bought this cd hoping it would be equally likeable. I have been sorely disappointed. Something about it is rather like scraping your nails down a blackboard. It grates. There are a few tuneful moments, but they are fleeting. Overall it tends to sound rather dissonant and off tune. I realise that is largely to do with my lack of appreciation of this form of jazz.I would not recommend this to the casual jazz fan. It's for advanced aficionados who can "get" the difficult harmonies. It's not for beginners. I would not compare this to Keith Jarrett. His style is readily accessible to most music lovers. Mehldau's is not.

I had problems with this bottle
I started out using these bottles, and had problems when my son would suck for an hour on the slow flow nipple. We went to buy medium flow nipples, and Playtex's medium flow nipples are the wrong shape/texture! For some reason, Playtex doesn't make medium flow nipples in the same shape as their silicone. My son was gulping air, which caused excessive gas/spitting up. He couldn't figure out the new nipple. I did like the drop-in liners, but when I ran out of the ones I received at my shower, I found them to be too expensive. It's twice as much for the drop-in kind than the regular flat ones. And the flat ones are impossible to put in the bottle while holding baby. I also found them to occasionally "split" when attaching, also hard to figure out how much to fill. Do you follow the ounces on bottle or liner?? So in the end, mostly because of nipple issues, I switched to Avent and haven't had any problems.

cannot believe it!!!
I'm a compulsive reader, many times I've read books I didn't like, I have no problem with commenting about that. What I DO have a problem with is supposed "fans" of an author slandering her in the maner of some of you here. If you didn't like the book, so be it, best luck next time; it happens, unless you read all books before buying them you are gonna end up with some you dislike; and say you didn't like it, advise others about the problems you encountered, etc. thats very welcome! But don't go after the author with such malevolence!!! Is unvelievable!!!.Many times, when the author of a book was unknown to me, I read the reviews to help me decide if I may like it, many times it helped me in the past. But never before have I encountered such vicious reviews. I found they speak more in detriment of who ever wrote them than of the book or the author. It's a real shame!!.

Fantastic!
These are the best boxers I've ever bought. They are super thin (the white one is a bit see through when pressed against my skin) and super light, wick away moisture like nobody's business, and don't stink. I literally did light workouts in one of these for 5 straight days, without washing it, just to see if their anti-microbal/anti-stink claims were true. They are. It's pretty unbelievable.I bought two of these, for a two week trip to central Europe. I didn't want to have to pack a bunch of boxers, so I packed two of these and a couple pairs of cotton boxers, just in case. They ball up very small, so you can stuff them into just about any pocket. I washed these in the sink after every couple of wearings, which was very easy to do. They dried completely in about three hours. I didn't end up even needing the cotton boxers.These are super comfortable, and if they weren't so expensive I'd probably just buy a dozen of these and wear them for life. I'm definitely getting a few more pairs.

talented but terrible
To be perfectly honest, I had expected a far better book than that of the one I read. While Ms. Sittenfeld clearly has talent, I did not enjoy her book. It was slow, even over exagerated. I, being in high school, know exactly what it's like. And no, it is NOT that bad all the time. And the character, Lee, was just poorly outlined. Especially by falling for Cross. I also hated the in depth portrayal of intimacies. For pity's sake, leave me with a somewhat purer mind than that. So, in conclusion, I did not enjoy this book, nor would I recommend it to anyone. I do not mean to insult Ms. Sittenfeld, however, I do believe that she could do better, and I wish her the best of luck. I hope this helped whoever reads this review.

Do not buy it
I just bought one last week. Over the weekend I tried it from Middletown,NJ to Philadelphia Zoo. I expected it should guide me to Zoo using Major Highway. Instand, it guided me to destination through center of Philadelphia city(I do set option using interstate high way option). When I came back from Zoo, it guided me a very strange route to home. Although I did not get lost, I looked the map, it went with a traingle to bright me back.At that night, I read the manual again. I tried the route plan option. It can not show what route it is supposed to go. You can not review the route plan. I think any one can grap a map and points the much better route than this navigator. So, If you want to buy this navigator, I do not know it can really help you.

Disappointed.
I was dying to get a copy of this book. When I finally got it I could not wait to dive in. I dove in and it was ok. I figured it just started slow and dry. I month or two later I tried it again from the beginning. I made it a few chapters farther. However I could not stay interested no matter how hard I tried. I have read history books and been captivated. I was never captivated. I feel really bad because I nagged my father in law for this book. I recently tried to pick up where I left off and was literally put to sleep. :-(

What a wretched book
I loved Doomsday Book. When I saw another Connie Willis book, I bought it without question. How disappointed I was. It starts off with pages after pages of contrived impediments to two main characters meeting and getting together. Then it moves on to hundreds of pages of "oohh if I could just think of something." Back and forth, driving around and back, doing the same thing over and over again. We have two MDs who are supposed to be smart, but they are so willfully ignorant that they can't learn anything about anything. AARGH! I finally gave up after about five hundred pages. I skimmed the rest of the book to confirm that it was going to be as tedious and boring as the first part. It was! Into the trash can! With a good editor, this book could have easily been reduced to a hundred pages or less. It might have been good then. As it was it was a terribly overlong, contrived, tooth extraction.

Look Before Leaping
I was enticed by the title and bought the book without first looking at it--a fifty-five dollar mistake! Doug Coulter probably knows digital audio processing. If you already know the subject, you probably won't want the book. If you're trying to learn the subject, you probably won't learn much of it here. Doug writes in the rambling chatty style of an old hand, but with many non-instructive, "It turns out that . . ." statements. If you are interested learning programming for audio processing in C++ for Windows, you may find the example code in the accompanying CD useful. The entire Help file of WavEd sums up the quality of the CD offerings: "This app written by kids. If you don't fix it, it's your fault."

Captivating read
I was unsure if I was going to enjoy this book very early on. As I continued to read, however, I became captivated. I found myself reading at stop lights to find out what might be happening between the main characters, Ash and Cathy. I stayed up late nights just to finish and find out how it all ended. I was more than pleased. I was so involved with this book, it's characters and it's make believe worlds that I never wanted to put it down. I found myself a bit sad when I did finish it. It was a truly romantic and wonderful read that I wish never ended! I laughed, I cried (sobbed), and I lusted! I highly recommend it!!

The best music EVER!!! But the lack of songs...
Well what can I say? This music CD is the coolest music I ever heard!! I especially like the song Stone Cold "I wont do what ya tell me"! Altough Kurt Angle's theme song is different from the real one, this Angle clone is better. Or Gangrel's "BLOOD"! It's one of the best songs I ever heard man! I'm completely satisfied with the CD!! The only con is that CD called "now" is lacking the songs! Other WWE CDs have over 30 songs and this have just 18! Well it is still cool and I recommend it to every die-hard fan of the great federation called WWE!!!
