Love my Spotbot
I purchased my Spotbot from Target on a clearance endcap. They were clearing out the original Spotbots as they were getting in the new "pet" Spotbot. I couldn't be happier. While it does use a fair amount of solution, it cleans really well. I have several cats plus fosters and kitties barf up hairballs and sometimes food. It cleans new and old stains. I had an old stain where the neighborhood kids had spilled milk and cola nothing I used removed the stain - after a while it was just a dark gray stain on an off white berber. Spotbot cleaned the stain! It took about 4 uses, overlapping, but the stain is totally gone! I love my Spotbot! Spotbot cleans my berber and my other carpets - you'll probably want a different type of carpet shampooer for larger areas (I like my Bissell Quicksteamer) but for small areas the Spotbot is the best! (although the beep is annoying)

Not good at all!
Perhaps my expectations for this produce were too high. I was expecting a fine mist similar to Pam Olive Oil Spray. Not the case at all! I filled the bottle half way and pumped it up a few times. When I sprayed it, a sloppy half mist/half spray came out. It also went all over the bottle. I tried different variations with more oil and less air and vice versa. No dice. Also, when the bottle is pumped with air, the lid will not stay down. This was a complete waste of money. I'm sticking with Pam Olive Oil Spray until I find something better. [...]

PLEASE READ: Retired MMA, had to really try to bust this
I read all the reviews before I tried this product. I am very concerned and picky shopper. I thought I would give this a try. I believe the key to this product is the flooring you are using this on. The foot on the lock works excellent on title or wood. I would not recommend this product on carpet.One key point to remember...the farther away you have the base from the door the less strength it has. Try to get it between 70 degrees and 80 degrees. I was able to knock it out of place at 50 and 60. I normally do not worry about safety; however, I am a heavy sleeper. I can fend for myself but I have to hear it first. Let me know if you found this helpful!

A Good Read
For Amazon re: The Marketplace by L. A. 9/13/10This was quite a read. I was drawn in and kept involved although the characters were not pleasant. Still, the training and harshness and character development was well crafted and believable. The writing was paced and thorough. I was rooting for them all even the trainer.The one thing that I could not let go was what happened to Sharon. Robert and Claudia were pampered compared to what Sharon went though. Even Brian was given fresh chances, but it seemed that from the outset there was a bias against Sharon. She was treated badly and given a cruel situation at the end. That left a bad taste.In all this was a good read. It seemed as if the author had "lived" this tale.

Definantly a classic
If u listen to deathmetal, this is a must have album. This album is just amazing. The songs are great and they flow with a double bass beat that is unrelenting and incredible to hear. I got a sub in my car and this album just pounds. Each song is a mixture of death-grind and death-groove. Fleshgrind has such a unique sound; the vocals are incredibly unique and ...(words cannot describe the vocals), the guitars are very fast and quite groovy at times (a mixture of the old and new deathmetal), and the drums are completely heavy and fast. If u like the gore-core sound seen in bands like Blood Duster (great band!), exhumed, and skinless, you must hear this album. Btw, their older album is also very good, not as good as this one, but still VERY good.<P [...]If you love death metal, BUY this album. You'll love it!!! Your gore-twisted fantasies will come into vivid puke-sex color!

Waste of talent
Branagh, Portman, Hopkins - they've all done great things. This isn't one of them, however.Effects are only soso. That "Bifrost Bridge," for example, might have looked awesome before anyone ever played Myst, but looks a bit steampunk by today's standards, and the rest of Asgard rises to the same unimpressive standard. (That assassin-bot was pretty cool, though.) Acting? Well, technically, I suppose that's what you'd call it. Thor and Loki both came across as shallow, childish, and mercurial. In fact, among the Aesir at least, the only one who really interested me was Heimdall. Given such weak central characters, even very good work in the supporting roles (and there was some) couldn't save this.Branagh's done a fair job with Shakespeare's work. That skill just doesn't transfer to what should have been a glorious and heroic effect-fest. I don't recommend this one.-- wiredweird, reviewing the release to theaters

after 5 months mine is dead
When I saw this thing in the store I had to have it. I got it for $35 at best buy. when I first started using it I noticed it was really slow! I dont think this is a very useful 4GB drive. I think my DSL is faster!After about 5 months of using it 2-3 times a week it died. when I plug it into any computer it told me the device was not formated. I tried to format it but it would fail. I went to Sony's web site and there is a format tool to fix this problem but the tool failed. I called sony and they said it was a bad sector and thats why it will not format. I ask if this was a factory defect and they told me NO and that they would not replace it!!! After arguing with them for 45 min they said I could ship it to them for a replacement as long as I provide the receipt from 5 months ago.This might be the worst $35 I have spent.

AWESOME BOOK
This book has helped me so much! I've let many friends borrow my copy and it's helped them too. The main part of this book that helped me the most was that it "allowed" me to feel... whatever I was feeling. It said that it was okay and normal to feel overwhelming sadness, anger, guilt, happiness, etc. It guided me through the grieving and beyond. It's not just for the first month. You can start it anytime. I started proper grieving for my grandfather 20 years later when my grandmother died. So I grieved for both at the same time.It's like a friend there with you everyday and comforts you. It doesn't take the pain away, doesn't even try, it says let the feelings happen. It just gently holds your hand as you go and gives it a good squeeze when you need it. It really does!

rip-off
I justified spending $100 on this space heater because of the Vornado name. I had heard many good things. I won't make that mistake again. The first one I bought the fan died after just a few weeks. I had be pay S&H to send it back and get it fixed, only after going round and round with customer service. They said the fans just wear out (after a few weeks!?!) The fan lasted longer this time but failed again. I bought our other space heater (Holmes) for $15 (floor model) and figured that one wouldn't last. The Holmes heater is still running like a champ 9 years later. I only used the Vornado to suppliment our furnace so it wasn't overworked. Don't waste your $$$.

Cool To Own This CD
If you're a new Descendents fan, I suggest "Milo Goes To College" for your first CD, but this is a really good CD. "Talking" is the 1st song, and it's a good way to start an album. "Nothing With You", pop-punky, still good. "She Don't Care", really good. "'Merican", the absolute best song on the album. "Dog & Pony Show"'s pretty cool. "Blast Off" is really good. "Dreams", well, not the best. "Cool to Be You" is a good song. "Maddie" is good. "Mass Nerder" is good. "One More Day" made me cry. "Tack" is an awesome song. "Anchor Grill" and " Dry Spell" aren't the best. Buy this CD, unless if "Somery" or "Milo Goes To College" is there.

Didn't even work!
I ordered this monitor to replace one that we misplaced when we traveled to my in-law's house. I got it and set it up, and it didn't even work! I spent hours on the phone with the Safety 1st costumer service, who told me it was probably my Wi-Fi that was interfering with it. Really?!? Don't you think it would be a problem to sell a monitor that doesn't work if you have Wi-Fi? Also, there was no static or anything. I shut down the Wi-Fi and tried again, still no luck. It was just defective. I contacted the seller through Amazon and they did give me a refund. If you get a defective one like I did, don't try to work with their customer service! It will just infuriate you! I guess I'll go buy a different monitor now.

acceptable performance
It looks better than the ugly RCA modem but it may not perform better. Like others who don't want to pay the monthly fee for the modem, I bought this to replace the RCA modem provided by Comcast. After I installed the Linksys, the connection drops frequently. I call Comcast and they sent a technician to check. The technician ran a test to check the signal strenght. It was 3. The normal range should between 0 and 16 so 3 is in the low range and he said that may be why the connection drops. The incoming coaxial cable splits two ways, one goes to the TV and the other goes to the modem. That weekens the signal further. He suggested not to split the cable and make it go to the modem directly. After that, the modem works fine. So, the major problem is not entirely on Linksys. However, if the RCA modem can maintain the connection using the same weak signal, why can't Linksys do it?

Printer-Great Software-Sucks!
I bought this printer a couple of months ago. The printer is very good, I have had no problems out of it. The software is not so good. I loaded it on my desktop ok, but can't get it to do what I want. I can not load it on my laptop. It kept giving me an error. So I called HP and they couldn't figure it out. They finally got it to where I can print from my laptop with out installing the software, but I can't use all of it's options. I made a cookbook for my mother and I had to save it to an SD card and put that on my desktop just to print on both sides. I still have to call HP back to figure out what is going on. I probably won't get anywhere this go around either!!

marvelous conditioner .
bought this the first time at a clearance store. Absolutely loved it. did not know where to find it and my daughter gave me a gift certificate online to amazon and I found it there. Love the product. If you have dry, colored or frizzy hair, this one is for you. You don't need a lot of it. When I use it, the water in my hair just squeezes out. My hair is silky and shiny. I have thick fine hair and no body, but with this product I have beautiful hair. If you have fine hair, do not use a lot and do not use it near the scalp. lasts a long time. bought some for a friend and she loves it also

I hate this toy!
My favorite character in Shrek is Donkey. One day, I got this Mule Kickin' Donkey. When I started to play with the toy, his head popped off. When I tried to put the head back on, his jaw fell off! I told my parents about this. First they didn't believe me that the toy had a defect, they didn't believed me. But when I showed them, they were shocked with the toy. We went back to TOYS "R" US and reported this and exchanged it. I got Puss in Boots instead because he was my next favorite character and I liked it. The people who reported this, they were right! Down with Donkey! Get Puss in Boots!

book has misinformation
I read the book cover to cover. Lost 7 pounds in 5 days which was encouraging. Am a health-care professional, and wanted more info. from author re: lack of protein etc. As previously stated in these comments, the Web site is indeed non-existant, 1-800 number is also out of order. Seattle tel. number(Club Slim) belongs to the residence of a gentleman who says that if the message is for Judy Mazel, don`t leave it. This is not just lack of support and misinformation. It is scandalous and frightening. What kind of confidence can one have in the value and authenticity of this program, if this kind of misinformation exists. I definitely stopped the diet and will return to what I think is a more healthful way of reducing.

Fantastic vacuum
I recently bought a Dyson and am amazed by how much better it is than a regular vacuum cleaner. I had been using a Hoover. When I received my Dyson, I went over the same areas as with my Hoover. It was remarkable the amount of material that had been missed by the Hoover. After 3 uses, the Dyson was half full; my Hoover was not even 1/4 full even after 3 weeks of uses. I've also noticed less dust on the furniture as well since vacuuming with the Dyson.The Dyson is much easier to push compared to my lighter Hoover. It also makes less noise. I can actually hear the phone ring with the Dyson. It was also able to pick up small beads that I wasn't even aware were in the carpet. (My Hoover completely missed them.)The Dyson is expensive but well worth the investment. It is more powerful than any other vacuum I've owned.

They do work!
I can tell you these do work with a 97 Ranger. Intalling my speakers was so easy with these. Both ends are perfect fit for the truck and speakers. Just plug N play. Thats it. Saved me the headache of cutting wires and messing up the factory harness. They seem a tad high on pricing but still worth it BIG TIME.Only complaint I have is Amazons " DOES IT FIT ". They said it wouldn't fit my 97 Ranger. YES IT DOES. I even went to the manufactures website and it does say it fits and it DOES. So go to the manufactures website and look up which part # first otherwise you will be passing up what you need thats right in front of you.

BAD, BAD, VERY BAD!
I am a larg coffee drinker. When the Home Cafe was introduced, I thought, this is great! Boy, was I wrong. The coffee is wonderful, after you put it in the microwave to make it hot enough. The product, however, is another story. While taking it out of the box, I was afraid of breaking it. When I started brewing it vibrated so loudly that I woke up my wife -- she thought I had my electric sander going. The pod holder snaps broke off after the third cup so I took it back to the store where I bought it and got another one. This one lasted longer. By the end of the week the pod holder broke in two from top to bottom. I have decided that it is just not worth the trouble or the cost since I can still use my stainless steel perk pot.My suggestion -- If this plastic toy is going to be kept on the market, the pod holder and lock should be of stainless steel and some how get more heat in the brew.Note: I am taking mine back to the store to get my money back!Ron, the coffee lover

child abuse endorsed - should be illegal to promote this
read the excerpts below to see why this book should be banned.A disgraceful book.On p. 4 the Pearls write "The rod...can completely check the `evil' manifestations of the heart."2 pages later, the Pearls were asked for advice: "My two-year-old will not stay in bed when I put him down. It seems like I am whipping him too much. No matter how many times I whip him he still gets up." This is their recommendation: "If your spankings are too light to gain his respect, an increase in the intensity might be more persuasive." p.6 "If he gets up, when his feet hit the floor, spring into the room with your little switch and pop him on the bare leg one or two times." "Never allow him to get his way." p.7If a child screams or cries "Just ignore him. Don't be moved by it. Don't pick him up." If the child says he is hurt give him "a terrible tasting herbal potion." p.9

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!! Are you kidding me or what?!?
Training and Fighting Skills....NOT!!!! A noble effort but no cigar. A defeated "kickboxer" who explains how to lose. Poor Beeny lost to not 1 but 2 Muay Thai fighters. These losses were written up as "No Contest". For the Muay Thai guys I'm sure it was no contest. His fighting skills and techniques are regurgitated information on what doen't work. This book was an insulting attempt to become some kind of pseudo-expert in the "Ally McBeal" world of kickboxing. If your looking for a great book on REAL kickboxing then do yourself a favor and buy "Thai Boxing Dynamite". Better yet get "First Strike" a top notch book on the reality of real-world fighting. Both are great books on real fighting!!

My boys love it!
We bought this for our oldest son when he was about 9 mos old. At first, he would play with the different toys on it while it was in the ride-on position. He really enjoyed opening and closing the "trunk". When he was trying to learn how to walk, we put it in the walker position and it was very helpful. It never "got away" from him and caused him to fall like other walkers can do. When he would push it, it would respond appropriately. Even when he finally learned how to walk on his own at 13 mos, he still loved pushing it all over the place! We would take it outside and he would have to push it up and down the street. He is now 4 yrs old and still enjoys pushing it. He fights with his 18 month old brother over who is going to push it around. By the way, my 18 month old also learned how to walk with this toy's assistance. In the ride-on position, it is just now beginning to be too small for my oldest son to ride it. Great investment in a toy that will grow with your child!

She's done it again!
Well Judy Blume as managed to make another GREAT book. I am in 8th grade and I am starting to read this book yet again (for the 10th time!). This book is about Rachel and Stephanie who are best friends. Then Alison moves into the neighborhood. Stephanie thinks that they can all be friends but wait until she finds out that three friends is not nearly as good as two together. This book has very unique and quirky characters. There is Alison who thinks that her dog can talk. Alison is adopted. She is Viatmanese. She lived outside of Paris for a while. Then there is Rachel she is a clean freak. She enjoys playing music (if you like her character in this story than you may want to buy Here's to You Rachel Robinson). Then there is Stephanie she is kind of gullible. I would definitly buy this book for anybody, any age.

Definitely needs some improvement...
There isn't any way to adjust the neckband for better comfort. They will definitely slide off your ear if you put the back of your head against anything. There also isn't a means of adjusting the earpieces to fit them better to your ears. I am not real happy with the amount of buzzing/white noise in the background when I have them on. The noise gets even louder when you turn on the noise cancelling feature. The cord is also very short (3'9") which has caused problems for me when I use them. It would also be better if the noise cancelling unit was higher up on the cord. Its about exactly half way between the earphones and the jack. There is a clip on it but I can't seem to find much use for it. It does reduce noise a little but I don't think it does that good of a job for the price. I'd definitely suggest getting a better fitting pair of earphones.

Vernon plays heavy!
But I can't stand the CD. There is not one song that makes me want to play this again. I understand that after soooo much time off they needed to change a little. I just can't get into it. I dig how heavy Vernon's guitar is but the songs just don't work for me. I hate the "Back in Black" cover, Yikes Corey!At first I thought it was a joke. Then I realized that this is serious. Why the cover songs? Cuz, there tain't nothin worth playing on the radio. So they turned to covers songs to try and reach the masses. And what is with all the electronic noises and crazy rythyms. Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Vocals. That is all you need in this band. No Sequencers!Anyhow, keep putting out new CD's. Perhaps the next one will be better.Good to have you back.

Hell's Bells very powerful Video Set
The Hells Bells Video set is a bit out dated but just as relivant today as it was when it was first produced. It shows the power and influence that a lot of todays music has on todays youth. This video series is outstanding. Very well put together and very eye opening. It is a must for any Christian who is interested in understanding the power of music and how Satan has taken a hold of it shoved it down the throats of todays youth. It compares lyrics of Songs to the Holy Bible and looks into back masking, subliminal messages, and other interesting stuff. I think any Christain who wants an indepth look at the secular music industery and its influence should really check this out. I know that there is suppose to be a Hells Bells 2 coming out soon with a more updated release. Much of the material should be watched under parental supervision. Thanks for reading. take care NOW GO BUY IT!

Back to Basics
As a mother of three. I, like everyone else who has more than one child would agree that all children are different. Taking the responsibility as a parent to differentiate the differences in them takes alot of time. What works for one doesn't neccessarily work for the others. I appreciate Dr. Oas's courage to be so straightforward about his findings and beliefs. It is a breath of fresh air to hear that we as parents do still indeed have authority. I do not understand people not wanting to take that role. Children find alot of security when mom and dad take authority. My thanks goes out to Dr. Oas for giving us this information. Oh how we as a generation could HEAL our children. Let us all step up to plate and be great parents. This is a must read book. Thank you Dr. Oas

So disappointed...
I wanted so much to like this stroller. It had everything I wanted: cupholder/tray for me, cupholder/tray for baby, big basket, lightweight. HOWEVER, my poor baby looks miserable sitting in it. My 14 month old is 23 pounds and his little belly presses against the tray. There is no room for him to sit, only about 6". The buckle is extremely difficult to open and close. The wheels are flimsy and I was just waiting for them to fall off today. It doesn't handle well. WHen trying to close it and get it back in the car this afternoon, it took several minutes to figure out why it wouldn't close all the way - the wheels have to be in the flat position...Not what I wanted... THink I'll take it to the Salvation Army. Maybe someone else will like it.

What's that?
Well, I'm here in Germany, waiting and waiting for Alf on DVD - nothing ever happens. So I ordered it from the States and I was very happy, when I hold the box in my Hands, just a few days later. I watched this show for years, know every dialog of it and guess what I was thinking, when I put the first DVD in the Player? They raped it! I'm very disapointed, this is not the show I used to know. In some episodes there are important scences missing. And I'm totally suprised, that most of the customer reviews don't care about it. What is it, with you guys? Is all you need just a hairy puppet with funny jokes? Don't need a story? It's like you're renting a house without any walls. And you say: Oh, no problem. I know walls. I've seen them once on TV. It's OK. At least we have a roof. It's in the garage.Well, after all it's just a TV-Show. But I wont buy the other seasons. You can bet your dead brain on that.

Leanna's Review
"The Minstrel's Melody" is a really good book. It's about a 12 year old girl named Orphelia Bruce and she wants to be in the music business. She is really talented as people tell her. Though the one thing that is standing in her way is her mom. Her mom only lets her perform in church. Orphelia's idol Madame Merrita comes to town. Mandame Merrita is keeping her eye out for talented kids. One of the places to see those talented boys and girls is the St. Louis Fair. On her way to the fair Orphelia discovers secrets about her family's past. Sounds like a good book? Read the book "The Minstrel's Melody" to find out those secrets. It's a real page turner. I recommend this book to people who want to read a good mystery that excites you in every chapter. I hope you read this book and enjoy it like I did when I read "The Minstrel's Melody."

What The??
Seriously.. WTF?I almost stopped reading it, and then I got hooked. Me thinks the author dropped some acid coming up with this story line. Where or how anyone came up with this is beyond me. It's one of the oddest, most unique books I've ever read. And I haven't decided if that's a good thing or not.It's so weird that I cannot even ..If you try it, don't stop where you want to. Give it 40% of the way through to get the vibe. If you don't like it by then just remove your grease paintand delete it from your Kindle.If the book wasn't so odd, it would rate 5 starts. But really.. a semi-posessed(?) clown, detective noir, walking dead gunsel sidekick named fatso (he ain't fat), rain, bleak darkness.. Oh, and an old Chrysler, cigarettes and Canadian Club. Way too odd for 5 stars.. but hey, I liked it.. I think?

stopped working after 1 year 3 months
I had a bad feeling when this unit arrived. Worked ok for a while then after about 9 months various buttons started malfunctioning. Very cheap parts. the most cheap feeling stereo I have ever purchased. I wish I went with my gut and returned this piece of garbage in the beginning. I have since bought a pioneer deh 4300 and it works great. If you have an ipod the pioneer 4300 works great with it. I have an ipod touch. I wish I went with the pioneer in the beginning instead this unit. I wanted hd radio. It works alright but I live in orange county just south of L.A. It cuts out enough to be annoying. Factor that in with the extremely cheap radio its housed in and one year later its done. Not surprising it broke so fast when you see how cheap this thing is made. As far as hd radio goes when its not cutting out it sounds great. I think I will wait until they get hd radio working better before I go this route again. Dual should be ashamed of making radios this bad.

Does Not Work With Mobile Phones
I bought this expecting it to work with my Samsung Galaxy S II and Apple iPhone 4 cell phones. I discovered when it arrived that it has a 2.5mm plug. I then realized that both my phones have a 3.5mm jack. Well that will not work. Then I looked backed at the headset advertisement on Amazon. Yes, it does say it has a 2.5mm jack. But the advertisement also says that it works with most phones. I even bought an adapter, but the adapter works only for stereo phones. This Plantronics headset is mono. Sheesh. Think I'll return it. Make sure your phone has a 2.5mm mono jack before you buy this one. The package says "Made for the first moon landing." Does this mean that it is for phones made 40 years ago?

Matilda
Do you like mischievous books? Matilda is a silly smart young lady. She was reading chapter books at the age of four. She wanted to go to school and her dad sold a car to a principal so she got to go to school. Her principal is so mean. So she gets back at her principal. Then her dad got in trouble so they moved.I believe you should pass on the book Matilda. Some reasons are I don't understand the text says mum instead of mom and tele instead of t.v. And it just doesn't make sense. Also it leaves you hanging it doesn't give enough information but the information isn't always helpful. Her parents are mean to they don't let her read she can only watch television. That is why you should not read this book.

Just as described in other reviews: sturdy, stable, and heavy
I bought this because at the time, Amazon's price was the cheapest way to get a good-quality 22-foot extension ladder. I didn't pay enough attention to the weight and the problems involved with extending it. There has been one task for which I was glad I bought it: installing a new light fixture over the stairs and painting the walls on those stairs. It's positionable and very sturdy and stable. I spent a week or so up on the ladder and it wasn't going to budge. As a stepladder, I don't need it; I have one. As an everyday extension ladder, I find it extremely difficult to use. The problem is extending it. It's very heavy, top-heavy when extended, and almost impossible for me to manage. (I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs., for reference.) I dread cleaning out the gutters with this thing, so am going to have to buy a conventional extension ladder (rated for 200 lbs. this time!). In retrospect, I should have passed on this deal.

Cheap, breakable plastic
This is a huge dish rack with excellent drainage. However, the sides are clip on plastic pieces which broke within 2 months of use. The plastic parts hold your glasses and silverware. They clip into the stainless steel rack. The hole in the plastic that gets clippped into the stainless steel broke and no longer stays attached. The glass "fingers" to hold glasses, broke. Not that they ever held glasses. Everything fell off of them. This is the worse dish rack I've ever owned. If the plastic was replaced by metal, it would be great. I'm sorry I dumped my Rubbermaid dish rack and replaced it with this one.

Show Too Slow
I don't mind subtitles. I don't mind coming of age movies. I don't mind movies about the misfit and the popular who get together. This movie is about all the above, and for me it was too slow. The story line has been seen over and over again. I had a hard time not wanting to kick the young girl underdog. Hey, get your head out of your ass. Her style grated. There's a scene where she disses a disabled girl. I don't see how that moved the story along. Basically, the movie irritated me. But there are a lot of reviews that say how great the movie is, just not for me.

Well worth the money
I bought one when they first came out, My three kids loved it. They fought over it, dropped it,stood on it, threw it and it outlasted many other toys.The last game of tug a war did it in. Yes it did break but, after a couple years of hard use. I just purchused three more for christmas, two leap pads and a quantum leap pad. That way they can not fight over them. I homeschool and it has been a useful tool in their educational learning. Well worth the money. I do not buy many toys, This is the first time I have ever bought three of something. My oldest is ADHD and it really holds his attention. My 3 and 5 year old love it so much there was no way I could buy the my first leap pad, I even was able to get then in diffrent colors so they know which is theirs. Best money I have spent. highly recommanded!

Very disappointing
Cat and Mouse went awry and James Patterson didn't have the time or desire to go back and fix it before the publication date.First, I'm not a fan of the Gary Soneji character who Patterson dotes on in all his novels. I liked having the threat of Soneji in Jack and Jill, but as a main character, he becomes a tedious, repetitious attempt for Alex Cross to create a psychological profile. It is plain annoying. Then Mr. Smith felt like a scrap of writing that Patterson had lying around that he wanted to use somewhere. The second, first person narrator through the mid section of the book was an obvious and unsatisfying attempt to attach it. Bad!What's good? I love the primary characters. Alex, Nana, Jannie, Damon, Christine Johnson are excellent. The relationships are outstanding. John Sampson is also a very cool character and was severely underused in this story. Tom Pierce got too much focus and Sampson was forgotten. James Patterson falls way short in this one.

Comfy and fun for kids but you have to get past the chemical odor!!!!
Not impressed with packaging of this item it arrived dirty not well protected at all; parts of pkg was ripped open, the shipper left it outside front door in the rain. I was home so it didnt sit in the rain long. It has black oil spots and several large oil spots. I will not buy again. The cover is not removable for washing and the twill fabric is cheap in quality. NOt worth the price. Sorry for the negative comments but it's the truth. It's overpriced afterall, it's only inexpensive twill fabric and chopped up foam - that's all there's to it. I sew and i know my fabrics. Oh, did i mention the strong smell of chemical like petroleum product. I dont know if that is normal or did i get a special one? Honestly, if you have allergies or asthma i would give it some serious thought. The bag is comfy but too many negatives.

Myth is Myth
This book provides an island of sanity in a world ruled by current myths and fairy tales. If you are not christian and a scholar of the bible, you are often belittled for non-belief, forced to defend yourself by only using the words from their sacred texts. This book provides the neccessary background and linguistic roots to counter many a theological offense. What Barbara Walker reconstructs from 4000 years of obstructed truths is nothing short of amazing, even if it is not *100%* accurate, and has feminist leanings. Christian doctrines always favor patriarcal interests. So fear not this book! Read and open your mind. Many things will click. Worth every penny. I have bought this book twice at full price, and I would buy it again if need be. An essential reference.

Disappointing, not helpful for traders at all
A few years ago I redHow To Make Money In Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad, 3rd Editionwhich was one of the best books on investing in stocks I've ever red. The author of that book mentionned he had over 2,000 books in his investment library with only a few very good books. He gave a list of 10 books he found best, which I've all red. Most of them were very good books (certainly for someone like me with some 150 books on investing). Books likeHow I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock MarketorReminiscences of a Stock Operator (Wiley Investment Classics)were all superb books. This was one of only books I had not red from the list. So I ordered it and began reading it with high expectations. As you can see in my rating, I did not like it all. To be honest I find the whole book one mess. I cannot even imagine how anyone could get anything useful for his/her trading out this book. I don't have a clew why O'Neill liked this one so much.

Don't read this book unless you have time, you can't put it down.
I am not a detective/mystery reader as a rule. I belong to a book club where we all get the opportunity to read a recommendation from another member of our group, this is one of those times. The book which is the first in a series of I believe 14books, and what a way to start. by the first seven pages you know who's who in the book, and it grabs you from there. There are many twists and turns, and you may think you know "who did it" you would be wrong. It makes you keep reading, and discovering, and reading some more. It's a "who dun it of the first caliber"Inspector Rutledge is a Scotland yard detective and a survivor of WW!. As the daughter of a survivor of WW! and a Brit I can understand a lot of where he's com ing from. The descriptions of his surroundings are marvelous. I truly can't say enough good things about this book and the writing altogether. I am now on book number 7 and plan to keep going along with him.

Awesome. A Great De-Stresser
I had heard mixed things about this album since it came out. I'm not a die-hard Metallica fan, but I enjoy their stuff--especially Hammett's solo's and Hetfield's intros. When I first heard the album, I was confused. This wasn't the Metallica I was used to, and the album was devoid of solos. However, I kept listening found myself drawn to the style and the manner in which the album was made. The garage-band style gives them a raw, powerful, and somehow honest sound. The snare drum sounds like a low budget model from Sam Ash, but that's what I like about it. Again, it sounds honest and down-to-earth. The album is good for releasing anger, as this is some of the best aggro-metal I've heard in a long time. It lives up to its title. This is an album you'll either love or hate--there's no happy medium here. This is hardcore Metallica, and it's pretty awesome.

Save your money, I'd give it ZERO stars if I could.
I don't know WHAT book the previous reviewers read, but it obviously WAS not, and COULD not have been the same.First, the book is a small 8" X 5" in size with 157 pages. 157 pages of LARGE type and many that are half filled.(several are totally blank) The beginning 50 pages are a joke in self help exercises and nutrition. Pushups anyone?? Oh, PLEASE!!!! All in all this book condensed would fill at most 75 pages.Ahhh, they say you don't pay for size, but rather the information contained within! Sorry, it falls WAAAAAAAY short there too. Very, very elementry stuff here folks. You have probably already dreamed most of it up, and if you haven't you should have!!I expected 157 pages FILLED with "HOT Recipies". What I got was fodder for my recycle bin. Too bad ...it has a great title! Steer clear of this one. Laura Corns books are a better value. IMO

The pacifier
I have a pit bull and she loves her chompion dog toy. In our household it is known as the pacifier. She loves chewing on her toy. I read a review about this toy and i was alarmed, something about the dog tongue getting stuck in the hole. I am thankful for that review. With any toy it is important to supervise. She really loves this toy. Unfortunately, I purchased the wrong size. I ordered a medium when I should have ordered a large. So I will be placing another order for my pit bull, Sierra. This is a great toy for chewers.

even better
When I bought Under These Rocks and Stones, I listened to it non stop for months.. until I saw Chantal live. After that, listening to her on CD was not the same. NOTHING compares to Chantal live... just her and her piano. This CD, however, awakens in me the feeling I had when I first heard "Under..." It is SO good to hear Chantal again performing new songs. She is a consumate song writer and the songs on this CD are exceptional. Still, I long to hear just Chantal and her piano, and I hope she tours again soon and performs the same incredible duet (Chantal, piano). Please, please, please release a live CD of Chantal. She needs no additional accompaniment and is nothing less than extraordinary live. I love hearing her songs as they were born, just Chantal's voice and that beautiful piano. Aside from that... this CD is fantastic, and I am so pleased to get the bonus CD. I was not expecting it, and "Feels Like Home" is worth the price of the whole CD. Thanks again, Chantal!

A risk that's paid off
I just finished listening to this album on AOL and before I didn't think I'd buy it based on Intuition since I don't particularly like that song. Plus, I'm a devoted Jewel fan from the first album all the way through. I thought, I don't want to buy poppy, shallow stuff, especially from Jewel! But, after listening to the album, I'm impressed. This is what Madonna has tried to do on her past three albums but hasn't completely pulled off because, lyrically and vocally, Madonna is weak. Jewel proves on this album that you can do dance, electronica and pop with meaning and heart and complicated lyrics. And her voice is amazing! She took an enormous risk with this album, and I say she pulled it off. I admire her for that. It's a great album. I think my favorite song is Haunted. Beautiful and moving. People, listen to the lyrics, our Jewel is still there.

Only two words... The Best!
It was very sad when I read in a P.S.M. (PlayStation Magazine)that it comes out in August I went to the store... The Cashier laughed at me! and said " It comes out next year!" So I waited, and waited, and waited. Then Finally... April 25th! I got it and put it in my bose and watched it. Astounding Graphics that will leave you in Awe. And also pro voice overs and some of the best Actors.(Steve Burton, Rachael Leigh Cook, etc.) And does follow the game, and you even get a fantastic veiw of Jenova, unlike in the game when you see about a minute total in the whole game. I was amzed after the movie was over. I couldn't belive what I just saw. The best movie ever!

How different Bible characters handled trying situations!
Are you always cool under pressure? No? Than you're in good company-Moses, Joseph, Joshua, Paul. . . It's easy to forget that they were regular people just like you. They got nervous when they faced tough challenges too. They had second thoughts just like you. They were tempted to back down, but they didn't. They trusted God to give them strength and boldness when the heat was on. You can have that same kind of strength. From the examples of these and other Bible people, you will discover how not to back down. You'll gain dramatic new confidence to boldly face trying situations and hang on to what you believe - even when your palms are sweaty. Can easily be applied to every day problems. Has cute drawings too!

Uncomfortable to Use
I have no underlying medical condition except a very tight neck and poor neck posture. I thought this device might help align things as advertised. I followed the instructions to the letter but it didn't do anything positive for my back. It did not hurt it or cause any long term problem. It just was not a pleasant experience.I can best describe its use as laying on two rubber, knobby rods that fit on either side of your spine and force your spine to curve to its predefined curvature. My 6'2" frame did not fit to that curve.A much simpler and effective treatment was provided by a physical therapist. Take a old thin towel and roll it up. Then place it under your upper spine while laying on the floor. Lift up you spine from the floor by pressing your elbows into the floor and then slowly relax back down onto the towel. Repeat that 5 to 10 times. That really caused the muscles to release.

wonderful
I don't know how i have missed this guy over the past several years. i am generally well versed in what's out there, but he has somehow slipped below my radar. i recently read about this album in Uncut magazine (a british zine that is one of the best that's out there) where they gave it a high rating. I am generally not into mellow tunes, but this is wonderful. As one reviewer said, it's not too diverse....but who cares. I am listening to it now as it is cold and rainy outside. perfect for the mood. a cup of coffee, the paper, this album, and a rainy day.....works well. i have since purchased the two albums he released before this. they are well worth getting as well. oldham is really a gem. how on earth did i not know of him?

Off on the right foot
This series had everything going for it during season one. A big star, great writing and the assistance of oceanographer Bob Ballard. I'm not sure America was ready for a submarine without a conning tower or with an aquatic system of aquafers on board for their intelligent dolphin. Imagine flipper on a sub. Don't laugh. It could work in reality. Then after a successful first season the writers caught the Voyage to the bottom of the sea disease. That is straying too far from reality to space monsters, flying saucers ect. So star Roy Scheider departed and the series was soon cancelled after season 2. In a last gasp effort during the final season Scheider returned to team up with his replacement Michael Ironside in a 2 parter. Too late.Bottom line get season one think about season2.

TERRIBLE SHOW!
I can't believe anyone likes this show or would buy this DVD! The show is terrible! Singing in hallways? Singing on football fields? Singing in coffee shops? Singing at the Dentist? No thanks, not my thing. If you want to watch a musical, that's fine, go see one on broadway or rent an old movie. Please do not pollute our public airways with this musical nonsense though. Plus these kids are terrible role models for our children. Don't even get me started on Kurt and his reprehensible actions, or the pregnant teen for that matter. Those two deserve all the slushies. The only thing good about this show is that it shows us all how NOT to act and what NOT to do. As if a season release of this show wasn't terrible enough, now we have to sit through this 2 hours long disc? NO THANKS!!! This a terrible show and a terrible product.

EXCELLENT!
I'd been waiting for the release of the original version of "The Fog" on DVD. I was not disappointed. After seeing it in widescreen for the first time since it's 1979 theatrical release, I will never watch this movie in full screen again. The extras are just right. A few interviews from past and present. Theatrical trailers, out takes and even an easter egg. John Carpenter knows how to make creepy movies. Scary is one thing. Blood and guts is another but this guy knows how to get the right atmosphere. That is the one thing I have always liked about Carpenter's movies. They are always dark and gloomy with just a hint of a breeze added for that extra chill. This is one of those films that is perfect for that "late friday night while hanging out with your girlfriend in the house" routine. Buy this version of 'The Fog' and ignore the useless remake. I don't care what ANYONE says, no horror collection is complete without this movie.

It starts off almost normal, people talking around a campfire and theyt tell scary stories about the old Dread Mansion, a place that one of them has just bought. They all eventually get trapped inside in trypical HH fashion and things move along brisk at this point. By the middle, things really take some odd turns and the film kicks into overdrive. Gore flies, the camera zooms and twists and the story goes into some new and exciting places. To tell more would be to give too much away. Things heat up in this one and the pacing increases to a really great finish that had me on the edge of my seat. Great care seems to have been taken on the look of the film because I was really impressed with the atmosphere and the lighting. Sure, some of the acting is poor in spots, but othet acting is incredible (the guy in the wheelchair!) and the effects are very realistic and sick. I give it a 4 and a half. Impressive, entertaining and a lot of fun.

Looks terrible, feels fragile.
First impression was terrible. It looks like its been tied behind a car and dragged for awile. I don't know if its the color but the entire thing looks like it should after I've owned it for several years. Second impression, after I opened it, wasn't great either. It feels extremely flimsy. That is my biggest problem with it, it doesnt feel like it can handle much stress. The box itself is study enough, its the hinge. I'm pretty sure it's going to break. Can't say when or how, but if the lid twist for any reason this thing is done for. The top compartment is cool and useful. I've only had it out three times now, (target shooting in the woods) and it has held up, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

13th Warrior
Great action movie, excellent performances by all and in particular Antonio Banderas. When are the critics going to give Banderas due credit. He is a classic trained actor, of immense talent. He combines a natural athletic ability, with passion and commitment to all the roles he plays. His potrayal of the Arab was convincing and exciting. The Vikings were just awesome. Beautifully filmed with an amazing music score. If you enjoy this movie, go see Play It to the Bone, now playing. Again the critics were wrong. Maybe its an American thing. Can a great actor from another country join the great melting pot of America and have a fair chance. This man will win an Oscar, you can bet on it in the not too distant future.

Silence of the Hams
First things first, Red Dragon ans Silence of the Lambs are classic books that gave great insight to the psychology of profiling serial killers and of serial killers themselves. And they were good thrillers to boot. However, this book is unbelievably bad. I wish I could have gave it a negative star review. Everything is wrong with this book. Jonathan Demme was being polite when he bowed out of making a film out of this mess by saying , 'it's too violent" . The whole premise of the book is ludicrous and the ending is even worse. It wouldn't shock me to find out that this book was ghost written by the same person who ghost writes those V.C. Andrews books. Turst me, save your money or give it to charity. If you don't believe me, check this book out at the library. You'll thank me and yourself.......

Great burner.
After trying other burners, I took a chance on this one and I love it! It heats up right away and you can dial in the temperature. Other ones would cool off (and stop cooking several minutes) before it would kick back on. This one maintains the heat more evenly. It is a little heavy, but that shows it is made well, and won't move around. The 'solid' burner is larger than most others, and you don't have the gaps like the coil style. (No food can drop into the burner.) Easy to clean. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend this one. Don't waste your time and money on other cheaper ones. Well worth the extra bucks.

What a disappointment!
I love the artist. I love the painting. I love Belle Epoque Paris (and actually, Paris in general). I love good historical fiction. I hated this book! I looked forward to reading this more than anything in a long time, and am utterly disappointed. The stars I have given it go to what I believe to be Gioia Diliberto's talent as a researcher. As a writer of fiction, (once again, in my opinion alone) she is sorely lacking. The character of Virginie that Diliberto fashioned is so unbelievably self-absorbed as to be one-dimensional and her tale is told in clunky, graceless prose that I frankly found nearly unreadable. The cover is by far the best thing about this book. If that's what fascinates you about it, go find a book of Sargent's artwork. Whatever you imagine about the figures you see in his paintings will be far, far more rewarding than anything you glean from Diliberto's novel.

Cuisinart CPM-900 EasyPop Popcorn Maker, Stainless Steel and Red
We received this pop-corn popper for Chrismas. It is very good for making popcorn when watching ball games. It does better than Microwave in that it pops almost all the corn. The top is a very good container for the popped corn. We were also given a bowl to use for the popped corn. We do not use it as often as it is another item to clean. The unit heating element would not work after about three uses. I unpluged it and examined it closely and found a metal piece was holding the base off the contacts. I moved the unit around (shook) and dislodged the metal. It fell back into the bottom of the base. After that it has worked very well. Our son-in-law really likes the popper so we orderd another one for his birthday.James H. Byrd

It was awful
I'm a big scifi fan. I'm also an Angelica Houston and Robert Urich fan: but what happened. That was the stupidest movie. I didn't laugh once. It was painful to watch. I was working a double shift when it came on at 3am. The woman I was working with loved it and wouldn't let me change the channel, no matter how much I pleaded. Here's the weird part. She doesn't even like science fiction. I guess this movie is for aquired tastes. Too violent, too silly, too cheesy and too boring for my taste.

Just not very good.
This is the type of movie I should like, but I don't. Maybe it's because I'm still in high school where everybody has no brain at all. This is a type of movie all the popular kids should hate. But they don't. They all say flippin' and God!!! and it gets really annoying. I've seen it 2 times, and I just don't like it. I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to see what all the hype was about (there should be none). I'm not going to doubt that it was original. Want to see a funnier movie? See Super Troopers, Anything Monty Python ever did, Dumb and Dumber, and anything Mystery Science Theater 3000 did.

Does not work for me.....just like hundreds of other people's experience
Got the My K Cup for brewing my high end coffee. Could NOT get it to work in my Keurig.... It leaked all over the place. Read tons of reviews of consumers having the same problem. Some offered advice where the machine itself had to be modified. Also mentioned was the coffee brewed when the KCup DID work was weak...Thank you to whoever recommended the Solo Fill!! I got one through Amazon, it came today and bless God, it works! How exciting!!Returning the My K Cup. Will probably buy another Solofill so my hubby and I can brew corresponding cups of our own choice of coffee.Thank you, Amazon friend!!

Pretty decent action-adventure flick
(3.5/5 stars) This movie brings to mind some action-adventure movies of old, such as "Gunga Din" or "Bengal Brigade." Despite the efforts of its keepers, a mummy is inadvertently awakened. It terrorizes a group of treasure seekers and archaeologists with its rather flamboyant magic. Will he be stopped before enslaving humanity? I prefer T.P. to CGI, but CGI's appeal is understandable, especially on such a large scale as this. There is also too much humor in this film. Sparse amounts, sprinkled intermittently, might suit the adventurous mindset of the movie, but it was carried too far here. Apparently the intent was to distance this from the 1932 horror film as far as possible. The likeable Brendan Fraser fits the action hero role well, and I have given this three star movie an extra star since it also features the beautiful Rachel Weisz. This belongs in the same category as "Pirates of the Caribbean" because both are enjoyable, but not great by any means.

Picture printing for dummies! Like me!
This is a great product with or with out a computer. You get to manage you SD card. You get to print out your pictures in normal or best or ok quality. I like normal. Doesn't use and abuse much ink. I also like the LCD screen. Not to small. It has alot of buttons right on hand. you could obtain the menu from a touch of a button. it is perfect for those who don't like to surf menus to much or surf with one or two buttons. it has pictures on the buttons for that easy knowing professional quality printer. ( that is what we call it) You won't be disappointed. The quality also depends on your paper. I use epson and the quality is lab perfect.

A painful read, at best
Somehow, I managed to finish this book. I read a lot at work out of boredom. However, I would almost have preferred sitting on my behind, twiddling my thumbs, staring off into space with drool running down my chin rather than read this book. I'm not a picky person, either. Just about anything will satisfy me. But this story just dragged on and on and on and on... the endless dialogue nearly drove me insane. I've never read a book where so many people just talked and talked. I'd say 95% of the book was dialogue, with the other 5% describing how the dialogue was spoken. The only reason this book got ONE star was because this book COULD have been interesting. I liked the idea behind the story... but the manner in which it was carried out -- not so much. Needless to say, I won't be buying another book by these authors.

A Load Of Baloney!
I'm an ardent Black Dalhia fan and read everything written on the subject. This book is an utter fraud! The author doesn't present a single fact or piece of evidence to support his theory that his father killed poor Beth Short. What he does present is a deliberate pack of lies. What a rotten way to get back at his dead father! He claims authorites found his father's wristwatch at the crimescene. In fact, a local teenager found a man's wristwatch hundreds of yards from the crimescene. It probably had nothing to do with the killing. This is just one of hundreds of deliberate distortions throughout the book. The photos, handwriting analysis, etc. have already been drug across coals on this board. The "thoughtprints" (If I can think it it must be true) shows how delusional the author is. As for the person who said we're only trashing this book to promote our own "pet theory", yes, I do have my own pet theory. SOMEBODY ELSE DID IT!

OMG WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK
Ok, So I thought, what the heck I will give it a shot....I love horror films, even B-rated ones, but I must say....THIS WAS HORRIBLE. What a waste of time. The guy who produced this junk needs to seriously think about getting a new job. My 17 year old son has made movies better than this one. Nothing cleaver or original here. No surprises. Plot was horrible. The lines were so predictable. C'mon. Acting was REALLY Bad. Screenwriting obviously is a challenge for the producer, writer, etc. There was nothing that suggested it should have ever been released. I feel sorry for all the actors in this film and I would suggest that they leave this one off their resume's. Of course with Ron Jeremy in the film, what could one expect? What a joke..or maybe thats what it was supposed to be. I hated this film and thought that I could have better spent my time chopping up a turkey...a jive turkey. Perhaps then I might have been entertained. Don't waste your money people.

modern, yes; but very few homes available as prefabs
I was disappointed with this book. It includes profiles of 15 architectural firms. Seven of those profiles were of firms that have done one-off architect-designed homes made largely of pre-existing materials (usually shipping containers). That is not my definition of a prefab house. To me, a prefab house is one that I can order to be built on my lot. Of the eight firms that offer prefab houses, for three of them only computer-generated images were presented (not photos of real houses). That leaves only five firms offering prefab houses ready for market. Of those, one builds 10 houses per year in Finland. Another is in Australia. Two offer only really small homes (generally intended as second homes).The book does include (small) design plans and many photos for most of the houses. However, the fact that very few of those homes are available for me to purchase makes the book almost useless.[...]

Not a southerner
Yikes! This was given to me on audio, and being one who always finishes a book once started, I am forcing myself to listen. Perhaps I should have read the printed version, but this woman is getting on my nerves big time. Her "poor darlin' sons who needed her so bad............" For heaven's sake - they were in their 20's! Late 20's!!!!! Many of us hve been in a bad marriage, battled hardship, and thrived. I'm glad she was courageous enough to do so also. However, it isn't a life story I would ever recommend. Oh - and to keep seeing the married man while in "love" with her soon to be second husband ?!?!? Is this normal?!?!?!?!? I can't wait for the final CD so I can stop suppressing screams of frustration while listening.

Dude movie
I've seen the movie by my English teacher. I liked and disliked it. Some people were good, some were not that good. I think that Judge Reinhold (as Brad Halminton) is the best character. He made me laugh so much. In the movie, he is a very good brother. Stacey Halminton (Jenneifer Jason Leigh) is an irresponsible girl. She got pregnant with a stranger (stupid enough). Compared to today's life, 1982 was a "dude" life. It seems to be funny and also dangerous. People has sex with everybody, get pregnant. Do they care about VD? Sure, AIDS haven't existed yet, but still... That was the thing I hate about the movie. But I can say that it was a good movie. It reflects well the reality of that year. I would recommand this movie to all people who's 15 and up. If you're not yet, wait untill you're at least 15. (Some scenes may not concern you.) And if you don't like sex (or too young) stay home and rent a comedy.

Useful product for teaching kids
I did a lot of research on what to give my nephew as a gift. Finally I found this planet earth and was amazed about the reviews. so I went ahead and bought it. It was truly a good product. It helped to keep my 2 year old nephew quiet at least for a short period of time. Kids like to see animals and birds. It improves their understanding of nature.The camera work and the narration are extremely good. I haven't yet completely watched the entire series but I liked the portion that I watched.

An Artistic Oddity
I find this to be an interesting album. It is like Thom Yorke took 'Ok Computer', 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' and blended them together to form 'Hail To The Thief'. I can agree with the other reviewers that this album does lack some flow. But, Radiohead has never been able to fit into some sort of formula.This album takes longer to "get into", so to speak. I had to listen to it a few times to truly appreciate it. I remember feeling the same way with 'Kid A', and I like that album a lot now. I really like the title of this album and how it corelates with the 2000 election. I find Radiohead's tongue and cheek response funny.I think this album does fit into any Radiohead fan's collection. Its a good album, but maybe not as brilliant as Kid A, The Bends, or Ok Computer. It is still good stuff. If you are new to Radiohead, this may not be the best album to start off with. Try 'The Bends' or 'Ok Computer.'

Misleading discription
I intended to buy a cartridge of Stylus C80 compatable cyanink. Below the listing I checked out other items. This listingshowed a four cartridge set at significant discount. I checkeditem discription and technical data . I ordered thinking I was getting a set of all four colors for my printer. When I opened the package, I found four cartridges of Magenta. First I thoughtit was a shipping error. but the invoice was correct. IN NO PLACE DID THE LISTING SAY MAGENTA INK CARTRIDGES. NOT IN THEITEM DISCRIPTION OR TECHNICAL DATA. IT WAS ONLY BY UNDERSTANDING THE PRODUCT CODE THAT YOU WOULD KNOW THIS. I AM RETURNING THE ORDER AND CLOSING MY ACCOUNT!!

Not what you think
The only thing Marshall about this amp is the name. Sounds like a transistor radio (bad). No tone, no bass. I bought one, kept it 1 day and returned it. Okay with headphones but not much else. I feel that anyone who gives this 'amp' 5 stars must have not have ever used one. Spend the extra $40 or so and get an Orange CR12, or something like it. If you want a Marshall get the MG10. $99 bucks most anywhere. You'll be much better off. I give it one star because they won't let me give it zero.

Best cooler I have ever owned
This cooler is the best cooler I have ever owned. I purchased it to take with us on a trip to Aruba. It worked perfectly. Packed it in my suitcase and used it in 100 degree weather. It kept our beer and wine cool for the entire day. The ice was still cold in the cooler after sitting in the heat all day. Very durable. You can tell it will last forever. For me, this was the perfect size. At first I thought it might be to big to pack in a suitcase but it worked fine and I don't think I would want a smaller one although I am considering buying the smaller version of the Polar Bear cooler ( 6 can size). It was easy to carry everywhere we went. Comes with a nice attached bottle opener. I am hooked on this cooler and will take it on every trip we go on. Highly recommend it. I still can't believe it kept the ice frozen all day on the beach in Aruba in 100 degree heat index. I kept saying to my wife ... "this is the cadillac of coolers" !!

Did not work with Windows 2000
I bought two of these planning on using one on my wife's machine and one on mine. She has a Windows 2000 Pro/sp4 system. All of her USB ports work correctly. However, I tried to use the hub and it would connect and seemly work with various devices until it would just hang the computer and force a cold reboot. I tried it with a SanDisk Flash Drive (2 GB and 512MB), Logitec Mouse, and ActiveSycn with her ipaq. Same symptom. I tried various combinations of ports, cables, and hubs. Same result. Plug the device directly into any PC port, it works. Plug the hub into the same port (with and without the A/C adapter) and it would hang up the system forcing a reboot. Never got around to trying it on my system. Returning it to Amazon and will try the Belkin. Wasted several hours on what should have been a plug and go. Others have had much better results. I guess the gremlins were laying in wait for me this time.

Induction is the only way to go!
With induction cook-tops the only heat is inside the pan! And talk about heat control! No guessing. Set it for 350, and that's what you get! No guessing where to set the Dial! These are the best Induction Cookware for the price! And still work Great in the Electric Stove. They heat up quick, and evenly. An 8" Steak in a 10" pan cooks perfect from end to end. Clean with just a rinse. But dishwasher safe too! Oven safe to 525 degrees. Total non-stick, inside and out! And a "Lifetime Warranty"! What more could you ask for?

Not for everyone
I was very excited to try this method as my sister-in-law had used it successfully with her three girls. At almost two and a half, my son was showing every sign of being ready to train. I bought the book and poured lots of time and effort arranging the training day. The training went great. According to the book, he was successfully trained by 1 p.m. after starting at 8 a.m. He had used the potty seven times... six without having to be reminded. We added toys, went to different rooms, resumed normal life. All was great until he went down for his nap at 2 p.m. and woke up and had four accidents. It is the next day, and he still hasn't used the potty. Please don't put a whole lot of time and effort into this method. It was very disappointing and stressful for me and my toddler.

Long Levels Without Save Points = Persistent Annoyance
This is pretty decent game, not great but good. I would say that it's a good start. This game has better graphics, smarter AI, and battle field tactics than any of the Dynasty Warriors games. Infact the Dynasty Warriors game for the 360 was an embarassment to Dynasty Warriors fans like myself. DON'T GET DYNASTY WARRIORS EMPIRES FOR THE 360!!!! Anyway Ninety-Nine Nights drops the ball in a few places namely that the levels are long without save points, when you are fighting bosses who are impossibly difficult to pounce you end up having to start the entire level over again. This is a serious show stopper on the replay side. At least the game should have a difficulty gauge. That would be smart. Also, the blocking scheme for the characters is not real good depending on your character. Otherwise a decent game not great but good.

S710a Returned
I've been waiting a while for this phone and just got it yesterday. Most everything is the same (except for the design)as the 610. The menu is almost identical. With the exception of an MP3 player and better camera that's really it.The reason I am returning mine is because I planned on using the phone as an MP3 player. Unfortunately, the phone can ONLY use memory stick Duo (not PRO) which has a max of 128 megs. What the? Do a search for yourself and see that even Lexar and Sandisk only go to 128 for the plain memory DUO stick. What a bummer! Including a few photos brought over from my PC and 5-6 songs I filled the 32 meg card that was included. Oh well. Hope this helps.Sony Ericsson consumer support had no idea why the phone doesn't use the newer version of the memory stick DUO. Even the new PSP from Sony will use the memory stick duo pro which opens up a whole other can or worms!

Terrific!
This is such an obvious idea that it is a shame there aren't more videos like it out there,but there are not. I have looked and looked. My two grandsons, aged two and three, love the stories. I watch the video with them, and for now, I read the parts meant for the child to read himself. Later, I am sure they will learn to do it alone. In many ways it is just like reading on a one to one basis. Why buy a video then? The large screen is very appealing. This would be wonderful for any child dealing with English as a second language. There are sections in which children read stories they have written and illustrated about the theme of each story. My grandsons love those parts and seem interested in drawing their own pictures. I am a former teacher, having spent twenty years teaching reading. I would definitely recommend this video. I wish this company success and hope to see more like it.

Retrospective of perspective
A beautiful story, well told through the vision of Frank Capra. It is the story of a very typical middle-class man. He lives in the future dreaming of what his life will be, not seeing what it is. He lives for when life will become his dream. Then he is given a rare gift---a chance to see the truth of his life through the open and loving heart of his guardian angel. He then begins to understand that his true life was what was going on while waiting for his life to start. And, he gets to do this when there is still a chance to change. We all have this watershed event, albeit not all of us see it. The truth is always right in front of us, but it is very scary to see. So, like George Bailey we dream about what it should be and wait for that to happen. George opens himself to the truth and finds his true love and happiness. Would that we could all have such a wonderful life.

This is the cheese slicer to own!
This is my third OXO cheese slicer of this design. The other two broke. Why would I buy one again? Because this one is all steel. The other two were plastic. This is the best design I have seen in a wire cheese slicer. The replaceable stainless steel wires have molded end caps that hold it securely in place. The single thumb-wheel easily tightens the wire. Although I have never had a wire break you get a couple extra wires with the slicer. The wires can also be bought separately. The price was not bad either!

The Ape Within Us
Wrangham presents some fundamental insights. Why do female gorillas stay close to their reigning silverback? Because only he can protect their babies from being killed by other silverbacks. Why do adolescent male chimpanzees intimidate every female in their group? So the youngersters will not be refused when it comes time for sex. Why do bonobos, physically similar to chimpanzees, behave in a much less violent manner? Because they evolved in a place where there were no gorillas to preempt an important food source. There are two kinds of male orang-utans, small ones that must rape to reproduce and large one that have no such need. These, and other insights, are carefully reasoned from the most recent field data. Perhaps not all of his explanations of ape behavior will stand the test of time but each of them is interesting and worth further research. The reader, male and female, is challenged into introspection: how much of the modern apes lies within our modern selves?

The revival of American Spirit following September 11, 2001.
Life magazine always produces great pictures and this is no exception in this book. The book is a compilation of the life of America following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The personal stories are always the best to read about. There is a personal background of five people who survived the attacks and this is very poignant. One detailed a young widow of a NYFD person killed in the attack. She described the payout which she recieved as a victim as our "sad money". These people will never be the same as a result of the attack.I find fault with this book because there is so little focus. It descibes personal stories, then goes off to talk about the ex mayor, then looks at Afghanistan. There is a series of writings in here about the American spirit, but there is no focus in even this. This is a hard book to follow, so I rated it low. The editor should have focused on one trend.

Good but not Excellent
I bought it to replace my old SONY DiskMan. Two additional factor make me to buy this one: Firmwire upgradable to 2.10 and [the] rebate.Strength:1. Firmwire upgradable.2. Easy operation.3. Excellent sound quality (don't use the attached earphone, try a high-end one and you'll feel BIG difference).Weakness:1. A little bit too big.2. [plastic] construction quality average or below average.3. Battery life not as long as it advertise. Basically it just stop running the mp3-CD after it prefetch some certain length of music. So if you skip between songs often, it [uses] power quickly.Overall:If you want a good one for home use, I recommend it. But that ends it.

do not buy from this vendor
I waited for more than a month and never received the product I paid for. The vendor never gave me the shipping information either. I e-mailed him after waiting for 3 weeks, he said the product was out of stock. but he sent it out already. I waited one more week, nothing showed up. He e-mailed me saying if I didn't get the package in 1 more days, I could e-mail him either to re-send it or get a refund. I e-mailed him asking him to send the package again. He never replied. so I waited 2 more days for his reply, in vain, so I had to file a claim. I think I ordered it on Jan. 12th and I filed the claim on Feb 28th. so, if you want to experience what I did, order from him at your own risk.

Customer Service Problems
My company pruchased this unit 2 months ago. During a Board presentation the projector went down. We determined that it was a bad bulb and that I would get a new one. At first i thought Infocus had great customer service until i was told continuously that I would have a bulb shipped "next week". I heard this for two months, calling twice a week. Finally, i asked to talk to the manager when they told me the bulbs were still not in. Miraciously they came up with one. What are the odds of that????? I was getting the run-around. Very suprised by this. I thought they were a reputable company.

Another Solid Album
Smitty has struck gold again with "This Is Your Time". I bought this album the first day it came out and I haven't stopped listening to it since. It seems that MWS reinvents his style with every album he does. In some respects, "This Is Your Time" is very different sounding from "Live the Life", his previous hit album. Electric guitar-rock feel is a lot more prevalent in the songs here. The title track is by far the most poignant. And songs such as "Anna", "She Walks With Me", "I Will Be Your Friend", "I Will Carry You", and "Hey You It's Me" all add to this album tremendously. "Everybody Free" and "Still Have the Dream" are also great songs. Is it as good as "Live the Life"? No. But we have to wonder if anything Smitty does can ever top that album. In short, "This Is Your Time" is a must have, probably the second best album of his career next to "Live the Life".

He's Back!
Great Album, Everything about it! Now, you haters and people who claim you are a fan but you don't like the album. What's the title of you new album? Exactly! This man has taken rap to a level where all walks of life are now listening! It's different, it's new, not the old jay. Who stays the same, if it's you then it explains why you don't get the album. Open your mind, or close your mouth. You spend so much time putting your own down, it's ridiculous! Get a life or Grow! And Yeah, I'm talking to you!

A Very Good Book
I think this book is a very good book. I the beginning I thought it was boring but after I finished with a few chapters I started to Like it. Here is a review of my own:In an Ancient Arabian city, there lived two brothers. A brother with seven sons and a brother with seven daughters. Back then, sons were more important and valuable than daughters. The brother with seven sons was known as a wealthy man and the brother with seven daughters was known as poor. To help her family pays the debts and earns their fortune, the fourth daughter of the poor man, Buran disguised herself as a man and work as a merchant in the city. While working as a merchant in Tyre, Buran met Mahmud, the prince. They became good friends and soon Buran found herself in love with him.

Dear Bob,
I've been a loyal fan for all your performing years. Through thick and thin. I was a big fan of your Sugar years, and your solo work prior to Modulate was always of high regard. Husker Du? Great stuff - as a college DJ it was always in my rotation.So I must ask you something: Are you OK? Is everything alright? Why would any of your fellow colleagues and friends allow you to release an album that sounds like utter trash? I waited and waited for a new release. On your last solo effort, the interview disk warned that a change was due. But a change for the better I presumed.Bob, you blew it. I'm sorry.I eagerly anticipate your next release - and will buy it. But please...go back. Please.....
