Why not same quality delivery as from Apple?
One has to wonder why a great magazine such as MacWorld cannot ship their first subscription issue *immediately* and what actually happens during the eternity between ordering a subscription on Amazon and receiving the first issue in the mail. When you consider that the entire infrastructure is electronic (order goes in at Amazon and Amazon notifies (electronically?) Subscription Dept. at MacWorld and email lands in an inbox, read on a Mac and then what? Do they print emails and stack them in a pile for someone who "doesn't do email" or the entire thing just sits in the inbox for months on end until someone goes "let's do a batch of subscription this weekend. order some pizza."I am honestly curious about this. Why such horrendous delays? Why not deliver first issue(s) electronically (PDF?) until print issues start arriving?One star for this experience. Magazine is great but for now I am going to browse it in the bookstore until delivery times improve.

Good 'till the End
Walter Tevis does a good job on this Sf book. I especially enjoyed the concept of an alien from a devistated world trying to save his people from extinction. The alien's (for we don't know his real name) assumed name is Thomas Jerome Newton, who is apperently a genious in science. He comes to Earth and sets up the World Enterprizes Corporation. W.E. Corp. is a pioneer in technological advancis. Newtons real plan on Earth is to build a space ship to ferry his people there. Their world is dying out from its wars. Eventually, Newton is caught and ends up a rich bum.In my opinion it was a good story till the end, where it becomes very sad. I think Tevis could have put a better ending on it. Overall, I do not reccomend this book except to those of you who love a bad ending.

Great DVD-VHS player
I have had the V4600 for two years now. It has worked great. I was hoping to purchase another one from Best Buy, unfortunately they no longer carry them. I am somewhat bewildered by all the poor reviews. I noticed that some were having problems with the movie locking up. My experience has been that there is something on the disk itself, it is not the DVD player. The disk simply needs to be cleaned with Windex and a paper towel. I have recorded many movies with the same three-hour tape for the last two years and the tape still records perfectly. Programming for recording movies at specified times is easy. My only regret is that I am able to only have seven events to be recorded. I have it playing into an 18 year old Quasar TV without any problems. I would postulate that most of the people that are complaining cannot even program the "Time" into any VHS/DVD.

horrible taste
I drink a glass of these super green powders every day, and they really work. I have more energy, and I don't even get a cold anymore. I have tried different powders. None of them taste very good, but it is still OK to drink them mixed in water. I like to use water so I do not add calories every day just for these green drinks. I am sure this green powder is of similar quality as the others, but the taste is so bad, that I gaged when I drank it the first time. I did not give up right away though. I tried for a few more days, but eveytime I swallowed this, I got nauseated from the taste, and felt sick for about one hour. I gave up. This is so vile, it is just not worth it. There are many other good products out there which taste a lot better.

The Chosen Collection
I'm not critiquing the show itself, but the packaging for this set. The box has a very nice look to it, but seems very flimsy. Also the cases for each individual season seems easily breakable. I put all my DVDs in a separate CD holder so as not to damage the cases. Also who designed the box? They left Anya off the front! How dare they! Everyone else is there, except minor characters. Also the cast photos on the cover of each season case is weird. Especially season seven. Xander is absent from the photo. Weird. Other than that I really liked the collection, but I really only bought for the DVDs so those little things aren't too big of a deal.

A true disappointment,and not worth reading.
As a reader so enamored of Austen's talent and characters that I will read everything that even hints of a connection, I was at first delighted to find Desire and Duty. Too quickly that delight turned to sheer dismay. The book is clumsy. Its scenes drag and plod. The authors are to be commended for their excellent taste in literature, and excoriated for their pale counterfeit. I will not attack its premise or its facts. If it had at least entertained, its shortcomings would be easily overlooked. Unfortunately, it does not entertain, or even mildly amuse. In 45 years I have never taken a book back to a bookstore to demand a refund, no matter how disappointed I was in the book. I am sorry to say that Desire and Duty became the first. A reader's time is better spent on Aiken or Tennant.

Hargitai Strikes Again
Once again Peter Hargitai has done it. The "Mother Tongue" book is a book of poems bases on the author's life. It details his many trials, tribulations and experiences which he faced, especially during a troubled childhood, throughout his life. This book was much more focused on Hargitai's childhood than his "Attila" book which was equally incredible. "Mother Tongue" is a much deeper and detailed version of his story. It is not for the novice reader though. Only intellects can grasp the dark and personal thoughts only Hargitai can put on paper. Nothing is what it seems in this metaphor filled tell all book of poems. His open sexuality and crude humor is trademark Hargitai which makes this another must have for those who dare. Care to challenge the mind or take a voyage on the wild side into Hargitai's past? "Mother Tongue" is another sure shot for your bookshelves.

What a mess
This product should come with lots of warnings. While installation was trouble free, Win XP wouldn't recognize any of my optical drives. I went to Roxio's web site and fixed that problem with a posted RegEdit fix. When I started doing some serious work, however, I realized that this product is soooo slowwwww. I'm running a 3GHz machine with 1GB RAM, dual 80GB HDDs and a fast graphics card with 128MB onboard. The "lite" versions of the ArcSoft and Sonic software that came with my HP DVD burner work much faster. I wish I'd just stuck with the free stuff that came with the burner. I'd have saved lots of time and aggravation.Oh, and PC Magazine has just given Nero 6 Ultra Edition All-in-One Digital Media Solution its Editor's Choice Award over Roxio. Napster has just bought Roxio's Creator suite so it's anybody's guess if the problems will remain. Napster's purchase is also why there's a rebate on this product--a new version will be coming out very soon. What a mess.

Not too inside
If you compare this book to the other Inside books, you'll find that it's hardly Inside. First and foremost, an Inside book should be comprehensive. This book has holes in it big enough to drive a truck through. The first book - the 6.5 edition - was comprehensive. The problem is: the product has expanded a lot since then. Full text search should be covered. XML should be covered. Replication should be covered. Clustering should be covered. Analysis services should be covered. DTS should be covered. English query should be covered. None of these are. If you have the 6.5 or 7.0 edition of this book, save your money until they update this one a bit more.

I guess I just don't get it
I bought this book because I like zombies. I like thrillers and thought it would be a good book-especially with hearing so many positive reviews. 4 1/2 stars from 900 some people-it must be good! I keep putting it down and just not picking it back up though. It just isn't holding my interest at all. I have had the book about a month and still haven't finished it.The book takes place after the zombies have taken over the world and were supposedly defeated by humans. The world is very different now. There are a series of short 'interviews' by those who lived through it all and have a story to tell. The stories by themselves are ok and entertaining, interesting. But you have to start over every story from the beginning-set up the story, scene, characters, etc. It's very hard to have to do this over and over and over and over again.

Try Cat-Sip Real Milk
I bought this one time when PetSmart was out of Cat-Sip Real Milk. My cats wouldn't even try it. They ran up to it excitedly, expecting it to be Cat-Sip. They each sniffed it, and literally turned their noses up! Then they just walked away. It didn't go to waste as my dogs were excited to have it. Passed the dog taste test, but that doesn't mean much. After reading the ingredients, I probably shouldn't have even fed it to my dogs. Full of random stuff: guar gum, corn syrup solids...just to name a couple. And it is completely watered down too. I'm going to stick with Cat-Sip, and I recommend you try that brand as well. Cat-Sip has only 3 ingredients; low fat milk, lactase enzyme (to help the cats break down the dairy as cats are naturally lactose intolerant), and taurine (an essential nutrient for cats). Also, Cat-Sip is usually a few cents cheaper than the Wiskas stuff!

my review
I'm a huge batman fan, and I expected this toy to be amazing.Unfortunately, this r/c "tumbler" is not really playful. The front steering wheel doesn't turn really well. It nudges 10 degrees to the left or to the right. Remember the Austin Power movie when Austin was stuck in the hallway with that cart? That's how I felt when I tried turning this batmobile. In addition, the jumping feature has not worked for me. I read the manual on how it works. At this moment, I still have not made it jump.On other hand, the sculpture is superb! nuff said.The remote control is cheap like any other stock remote control.This product is not worth $40. Fortunately, I purchased this unit for $20 during the Thanksgiving holiday sale. However, the 9.6 V Battery (sold separately) is another $20.I give this product 2 stars.

Poorly constructed
This is a well-designed little trap, and would be great fun if it was well-built. But it's not. The target plate mechanism is held in place by metal rods that extend across the trap through holes in the side. These rods should be threaded on both ends and held in place by nuts. Instead, they are "secured" by cheap little plastic washers. These washers come off easily and cannot be re-used. And when one comes off, that end of the rod falls down into the trap rendering it useless. I have had two of these traps - the first arrived with three washers off the rod ends, and the rods and target plates lying in a pile in the bottom of the trap. The replacement trap arrived oksy, but after a few shots from a low-powered airgun two of the washers came off, causing those rods to fall down inside the trap. Very frustrating. Simply threading both ends of those metal rods and securing them with nuts would make this a really great and durable target trap. As it is, the thing is a piece of junk.

Worked brilliantly for one night only
The truth is I liked this device a lot for one night. The temperature in my bedroom that night was consistent and I slept soundly. I left the space heater running the whole next day with this device controlling it. The 2nd night I was awoken by the relays clicking on and off every couple seconds. I finally had to give up and shut off the space heater and risk getting cold. I spent the whole next day testing the programming and replacing batteries but the relays still don't stay on so I'm returning it for a full refund. It's not worth playing the game of returning and replacing until I get one that works. I just want to be warm and healthy so I'm buying one that costs almost twice as much. Hopefully that works out.If it had worked it would have been great. It was easy to program and simple to install. It's cheap so it might be worth gambling and trying out. I wish you luck if you choose to get one.

Not worth the hastle!!!
We recieved this monitor as a shower gift two years ago for our daughter. The night light was nice although we already had a night light for the wall. The parent units took 9 volt batteries that didn't last long and the range wasn't very good at all. The farther you went, the more staticky it was. From then on we left them plugged in so the portability was compromised. They worked fine for about a year and then one parent unit died. The second parent unit just died last night. For about 6 months they both acted finicky and would fade in and out of reception but still worked overall. The static was pretty bad for about a year though and drove my husband crazy at night. They did their job, but not very well. Having said all that, I couldn't recommend buying this monitor.

Don't waste your time!!
Pitiful attempt to cash in on a very good and original story!Don't bother to watch, buy or rent this! You will not be happy. I am disgusted! Only feeble minds with extremely low IQs would have reason to watch this. I finally stopped my DVD player after 30 minutes of playing "watching".... forgive me! I lost my remote under the bed covers and in desperation just unplugged the DVD player :O(The first Highlander was as good as any film can be!!! They don't come any better.... With each serial film... the quality goes down. This "The Source"!!!! Belongs in the bottom of my septic tank!!I'd rather watch the CNN news station with reruns of the upcoming Presidential election!!!Now, I am driving as fast as I can, to the video rental store "Blockbuster" to return this piece of c_ _ p, as fast as I can!!

OUCH!!!
'Without You' is the only "good" song on this album. A couple of tracks approach "decent", and the rest are horrible. This album was a lesson in disaster and should be discarded in the nearest dumpster. Eddie needs to swallow his pride and move on. Gary Cherone was not his soulmate, and was a terrible pick for a lead singer. (So is Eddie as evidenced by 'How Many Say I?') Cherone tried to sound like Sammy, but failed miserably. I heard that Hagar was let go in part because of his work ethic. Sammy has since been working his butt off in the studio, releasing quality material, while Van Halen has stagnated. I haven't heard any info on Van Halen's status, but it appears they might be done for good. Too bad they didn't end on a good note.Avoid this at all cost.

Suspense, Horror
This is not your usual Horror film, filled with blood and violence. This takes me back to the time where you sat in a dark theater. When you and your date would jump at the same time. And you would see some people covering their eyes, so as not to jump the next time.Yes this movie is a supernatural tale. And it is scary. There is more then one part that will make you jump. And that is what I like about this movie. It can scare you without all the unnecessary violence and blood. The level of expectation is kept up throughout the whole movie. It kept my suspense level almost peaked the entire movie.The story is well written. It gives you time to think. And the horror seems to never end. Just keeps coming and coming...it will keep you on the edge of your seat.I would recommend watching this in a dark room with friends. Those who scream and jump will just add to the suspense for you.

these are IT !!!!!
Just installed these today in my 1990 4runner in the front doors and bought speaker spacers wich were not required. Hooked them up to a orion cobalt 600.4 amp wow these things bump!! Ive read some reviews saying they have no bass thats crazy! These little things got a lot of bass plus highs and mids! Maybe the past reviewers were not putting enogh power to them. I also have a new pair of boston acoustic 6/9 these things blow them out of the water in every way! So time to get rid of those and get another pair of these! Get these you will be happy!! Cant wait to hear how they sound in a month after a full break in period!!Update Sep 29 09 Just had another pair installed in the back and all I have to say is WOW!!

There are many other receivers that are MUCH better
I wouldn't recommend this receiver. I previously had a Delphi SkiFi and my husband had an Audiovox. unfortunately, they both got stolen. So this sportscaster was my replacement - it was the 'special' that XM was running at the time. compared to these other two receivers, this one is terrible. it's very cheaply made; the remote is unsatisfactory - cheap buttons and controls that don't always work correctly; the mounting clip is poorly designed/made...i don't even use it anymore. the size is nice b/c it fits easily into any space in my 4runner. However, the screen display is also terrible and very cheap. Not as must customization as the others. I would suggest paying a little extra $$ for a much better receiver! I'm actually pretty disappointed that XM is even selling such a piece of junk product.

The start of one of the best mystery series ever
"Poirot was an extraordinary looking little man. He was hardly more than five feet, four inches, but carried himself with great dignity. His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side. His moustache was very stiff and military." I love the description of Poirot. This is the start of one of the best sets of mysteries ever made - the first appearance of the celebrated Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.Poirot is interesting for many reasons, one of the first that he was a famous detective as a member of the Belgian police force. Due to WW I, Poirot has to move to England as a refugee, and remains. It's also the first appearance of Capt. Hastings, the sometimes narrator of the stories.Wonderful characters, great story. Easy 5 stars.This is the free Kindle version. A must get if you like mysteries.

Male Rape
This book looks at a societal taboo, that is, "male on male rape". It is our "skeleton in the closet" which is understudied and under researched. Male rape trauma syndrome is very real. The book looks beyond the lay myths of, "you ust have wanted it otherwise you would have fought him off". Any man, anywhere can be raped by another. The psychological, emotional, physical damage is perhaps more profound due to societal assumption of "you could have stopped it if you resisted". The man raped lives in a "netherworld" of anger, grief, loss, and desire for revenge. There are very rarely male rape hotlines, or male rape groups that process the trauma. It's secretness is insidious because it spills over into domestic violence, violent sexuality, recidivism.Well written, easy read, informative. It is certain to unmask male rape myths and add insight into this subject. I would give it 4 stars.

Christmas for the nice people
I'm not a movie critic examining the production techniques. I Do, however, relish a well told tale.Here we have an attractive young mother who happens also to be a widow. She's working semi-successfully in an out-of-the office job the big city. She has family - A real charmer of a son that presents the character of a little boy..well.. none better anywhere. Then there are her in-laws, the parents of her late husband. Nice folks who are wise and dearly love their daughter-in-law and grandson.Enter Robert Mitchum. Self assured. Squared away. Matter-of-fact. Kind but not gushy. Honest. Every trait the Boy Scouts could engender but surprisingly found in an adult. The absolutely ideal specimen of The American Real Man.Happy ending.What more could you want?Noah8-?

Intellectual Pap
Our book club agrees totally with L.A. Readers Anonymous. Terrible. We spent 20 minutes discussing the book before proceeding to more critical life stories. Most of the members were disconcerted with the Chapter 0 pretension. I however, agree with A Reader from Chicago about the Edwin Booth monologue. Did we miss something there? Or was it merely a device to show off a fancy writing style? Nothing came together, we couldn't get the point and most of the other members were FURIOUS about the lack of/misuse of punctuation and the ENDLESS rambling and repetitiveness. National Book Award????

buy it or die not knowing true happiness
this book is first of all, hilarious. Second of all, its concept is pure genius. Third, has anything have to do with Tiajuana ever not great? Well, although this book is mainly aimed at girls, I loved it. Men, buy this for your girl and read it when she's not looking. You will love its humor, wit, and pure creativity. There is no choose-your-own-adventure book like it. I can't wait for the next "Miss Adventures" book. This book has changed the face of choose-your-own-adventure books forever. The book is so good that the only explaination for its greatness is that Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are writing goddesses. This book is funny as hell.

Great sound quality
I like the size of the T305. I thought it was going to be bigger. It is easy to use, just pair it with your phone and it is ready to go. I drive on the highway to commute to work. I can hear the noise of the road, but I can still hear the other person on the other line clearly. The other person can hear me clearly also. The only thing I don't like is the bright blue, blinking light. Especially at night. I believe a lot of people have mentioned this already. Simply putting black tape over the light helps. Overall I am pleased with the T305.

Cheap video will cost me 100's in medical bills
Let me start by saying that I am not obese. I weigh 140, am 5'4" and am 40, so I only need to shred a few pounds. This video got such good reviews I thought I'd try it. What a mistake that was. Over a month later, after only doing the video 2 times, I have serious back pain and have an appointment to go see a chiropractor. It hurts so badly. I have NEVER in my life had back pain, so this isn't some old thing that flared up again. I have always been happy to not have endured that headache of a problem, seeing other people around me with chronic back problems. I guess I will now have to join them after this experience. It's really depressing. My advice? Stay away from this video. It is over the top and not safe in my opinion.

What a disappointment!!!
I used to think that best-sellers must be worth reading since they are, after all, best-sellers. But I think I've finally learned my lesson . . . the hard way. This book is so disappointing! Not solely because it's poorly written, but because it's making so much money and it's so ordinary, so lackluster, so . . . boring. What is it about books like this one, Waller's The Bridges of Madison County and Sparks' The Notebook that make the American public go gaga? For me, they're all part of the same genre: sentimental drivel for the masses. People, wake up and get happy!!!

Dated material
The format is user-friendly. I, too, found mistakes and rationales that at times contradicted the right answer! I am not sure if this is sloppy editing, or what, but it is not desirable in board review materials. My chief complaint is that much of the material seems dated. When exactly was this 2nd edition published? In the state (AZ) where I'll be practicing, NPs have prescriptive powers. There are answers such as, "Have the physician prescribe . . . . " Some of the material addressing thyroid disease seems a bit out of keeping with current guidelines and the Peds section does not seem to follow current CDC guidelines for immunizations. I think they have a good thing going here, but they need to update the material periodically.

Thinkin Mans Movie Made By a Thinkin Man
Well, Now I'm no professional but let's face it, the acting in this movie is no less then perfect. This is in my opinion tom cruise's best movie(close call with rainman). I could not turn this movie off due to the seriousness it took with everyone of its actors. Kubrick is an absolute genius. To this day I will never understand whats goin on in that costume store with the owner, the daughter(or whoever that was), and those oriental guys dressed in drag, but that was one of my favorite scenes in the enitire movie. In my opinion anyone could have played kidman's part, just as well, even though at the time she was "the wife". I will keep this short and sweet. If you like Kubrick's dark, but beautiful work behind the camera and a soft spoken but very strong tom cruise, please check this flick out. 3 words to sum up my review. Strange, Weird, Unbelievable. Rent it, Buy it, Don't pass on it.

A super effort!
This is a cd you must add to your collection. It is fabulous. Each song is moving. These are the standout songs: "The Love That We Lost"- A song that starts off slow, but progresses into a beautiful song. "Rubbin' It In"- A cool comical song about a sad breakup. "Single White Female"- A catchy song with attitude! "She Went Out For Cigarettes"- A slow moving song about a woman leaving her beau and never coming back. "It Was"- Another breakup song, but a little more compassionate. All the songs are excellent and inspiring. The first time you listen to it, you may think its slow. However, when you listen to it again, you will love it and be happy you bought it. A very good cd by Chely!

Wish you could build your own digital door alarm?
I too purchased this book, not through Amazon, but saw the reviews and thought I'd put my two cents in here. I tried unsuccessfully to put this together with my two sons. They sat there patiently as I read through the book and constructed the alarm. It was a real disappointment for all of us to not having a working alarm in the end. I then wound up rebuilding it a second time, again with no success. I took the book back to my local bookstore for an exchange and after a third attempt, still no working alarm. By now, I have hours invested in this project. I too tried to email the company and my message was bounced back. My neighbor has a working version of this that he and his son put together some time ago. My feeling is that the newer copies of this book may come with a defective alarm, which makes sense why the older review in this group is positive while the more recent reviews are so negative. I think I'll try to get my money back.

Soundstream 6.5" and 5.25" Tarantula Speakers
There isn't much reason to go into a long review. In a word, they suck. I installed the Soundstream Tarantula 6.5" and 5.25" speakers in my 2002 4-Runner over the weekend. (I have an Alpine head unit & amp.) They sound worse than my factory paper cones. The highs are tinty and harsh and the lows are vague and muddy. Simply awful. I used Soundstream years ago in an old '92 4-Runner and they were wonderful. I'm guessing they weren't made in China back then. I noticed the "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on the box as I was installing them. I'm going to order some MB Quarts and throw the Soundstreams in the trash.

Camelbak 16 oz. No-spill water bottle
I purchased 3-4 of these to start with to make sure we liked them. They are great. Well made and I like the color choices. My husband and I can each have our own and remember who's is who's. I also like the fact that they do not spill like a child's sippy cup. Also no need to flip the top to take a quick drink. Just bite down and sip. No messes during your workout. These are very durable and with the handy tab at the top easy to carry several even if filled. I have since purchased enough for us to have 5 each-10 total. I did have one damaged one and amazon had it replaced to me before they even received the damaged product. No after taste at all. Better than Britta in my opinion.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

My Oh My!
Up until now I thought that the made for TV movie with Ted Danson was the worst anybody could do regarding the Loch Ness Monster. This mirky mess takes its place easily, hands down! First place! All the actors are awful, the dialog is beyond laugable and just sad, and the creature...oh that legendary creature! I have seen more realistic looking monsters in video games! It is not even CGI quality. (which has become very overused and overrated lately in cinema) There is nothing wet about the underwater scenes either. The so-called scots in the film are not in the least bit Scottish I am sure. Patrick Bergin is Irish, but even he is unconvicing. One of the greatest mysteries in our world is no longer the Loch Ness monster, instead it is how on earth did this get onto a DVD??

Simply Hypnotic
The guitarist in my old band once shared the best suggestion with me. To listen to American Fooball. I am forever in his debt- for this alone. This album by American Football is one of the most remarkable things that I have ever heard. These songs are completely emotional, and stunningly heartbreaking. When I first heard it, I instantly grew to love it. I wanted to hear it constantly. I began playing it over and over and it never left my CD player for months on end. The beautiful guitar work, the extremely talented drumming, the soft spoken lyrics, and the pure comfort of this recording made me an instant fan. I was horrified to hear that they had dismembered, even before the record was put out. But I strongly urge everyone to listen and purchase this album. Unfortunately, this music is too impresive for words. You seriously must experience it first hand- and you won't be disappointed.

Very poor range...
These phones have horrible range. You will get further range from a $20 cordless phone from Radio Shack. I was only able to go 30-40 feet away from the base. I even wasted $30 on an USB extension to put the base at the top of the ceiling away from all other electronic devices. That only gave me maybe 10 more feet. I returned the phones and just got some Engenius phones and I LOVE THEM! They go 1/2+ mile easily through the neighborhood and I am going to purchase the outside optional antennae for long range. The fancy features on the CyberGenie hardly ever worked for me. The voice commands would work less than 5% of the time. This product has a lot of good ideas put into it, but it cuts corners to save money. It is not worth buying and you will end up returning it for better quality phones.

The perks of being a wallflower
This was a very interesting book. Charlie vaguely reminded me of Holden Caulfield from the catcher in the rye. Charlie by far was the strangest character I had ever come across. He cried all the time. There a lot of unanswered questions. Why did he cry all the time? What was he being institutionalized for? Why did he have no friends his own age? Did his aunt Helen molest him? Why would he wake up naked at random places and not remember how he got there? Did he suffer from autism, or schizophrenia? This book left too much up for interpretation for my taste.

Important enough to write a review
What a waste... I love Tool and APC, but this album is a total travesty to the reputation they once had. Can't Maynard write music anymore without a complete agenda? This is supposed to be art, not propaganda. With the exception of "Passive" and "When the Levee Breaks" the entire album is so immature I can't even listen to it. The music is terrible. Their new sound is soft & slow, on par with elevator jingles. And the lyrics are ridiculously childish & annoying. I feel stupid for even buying this. "Emotive" is a fallacy of what the band used to be. Save yourself, stay away.

Look somewhere else
I love this artist. I watch his movies and listen to his songs whenever I get the chance. I have some of his movies, and I went to watch them in theaters all over Mexico. I have many of his tapes and CDs. I wasn't enough. This selected clips are fine and the narration is good. The restoration work is horrible. I've watched many of the films the clips were extracted from. I'd guess that this studio? didn't spend $5. pesos on the work. Some clips remind of when I watched the movie and 50 people, sitting in front of me, were all smoking. The great Mariachi bands sound really bad. I guess that, maybe, 10 minutes of video were clear and sharp. This could have been a wonderful viewing experience. Perhaps after reading this the company will hire more competent people.

Horrible!
This dvd is horrible! First of all i am so disapointed! I thought hey richard simmons can't go wrong with that choice. Boy was i wrong! The company that filmed the true 60's oldies focused on mostly the womens big faces. So, where am getting extremely hard to follow! When you think your right your not! I don't recommend it! Also, the music choice is very poor! None energetic songs from the early 60's it smeems. I love 60's music i thought i heard those songs, but i was wrong. They must be the ones that didn't become popular. I would have never thought richard simmons could get so much love and energy from cheesie 60's music.I do recommend.

A break from the norm.....
About one third of this album is awful. What remains, however, is awfully good. You could call this an experimental work where some stuff came out well, some stuff badly. Overall though what you get from this album is a set of songs that differ from the usual mundane releases so popular with record companies. Efforts such as Corpses, My Star and What Happened to Ye are just fantastic. The overall sound is raw and underproduced- in contrast to a lot of music these days. And also in contrast to The Seahorses album released by the other half (John Squire)of the Stone Roses song writing duo. The debut album by The Seahorses, "Do it Yourself" is quite simply rubbish! Maybe there is something in what Ian Brown said, " the difference between me and John Squire is that I write songs for the people while he writes songs for himself"!! Nice to see that they still get along then!!

Very Disappointing
We have two pairs of Tweezerman tweezer's in our household, and they are very well-crafted. Durable, precise, and comfortable to use. So I took a chance thinking the same attention to detail would carry over to this shaving brush. Alas, that is not the case. First, the brush I received is not the brush pictured. Mine came with a shiny chrome handle (?) -- though upon reading some of the one-star reviews describing the wood cracking after only a short period, maybe that is a blessing. The bristles also started falling out with the first use. And continued with the second. I haven't yet used it a third time.All that said, it is cheap for a shaving brush. For that reason alone, I will not go through the hassle of returning it, and instead will use it until it completely falls apart, then go back to [...]and get a real shaving brush. I am being generous with two stars for the low price.

So it wasn't just ME
Thankfully this book came to me in a big cardboard box with lots of other loaners... I struggled through this novel thinking that I must be missing something... afterall, LARRY MCCURTY is a Pulitzer Prize winner! Did he really write this??? I have never read his work before - though I've seen screen productions of several. Imagine this in living color at your local Cineplex! I'd need REALLY good popcorn and plenty of it. Boring. Repetitive. Pointless. Did I say repetitive? Where was this man's thesaurus??? And an aside, the dustcover... The review from Newsday "[McCurty]is one of the few male authors who can write convincingly from the woman's point of view." RUBBISH! On the contrary, his female characters are demeaning representations -insulting and unconvincing. This book is nonsense - a waste of time. Did I mention repetitive?

Please don't waste your time or money
This movie doesn't even rate one star. It rates a MINUS THOUSAND. I had medium expectations realizing this was a low budget film, and have respect for all filmmakers. However, the only interesting thing in the entire movie was the "kid". Other than that, the story line was not believable, the film quality was very bad and the dialogue was redundant. MF this, MF that, MF the other, just on and on and on and on. I almost went nuts watching it. Sorry, but this was the WORST movie I have EVER seen. Want to see a really good movie, try any movie with Ice Cube and Mike Epps, Friday After Next and All About the Benjamins. Great fun watching those. Sorry, Amazon, but not only would I not pay ... to buy this, I would not pay one cent, no offense.

Towline the answer to G1 Ironhide?
I've got to say that I've liked Towline alot. He's a dead solid reminder of the original G1 Ironhide character. Towline's vehicle mode was a pretty solid looking van. I could easily say you could hide him amongst other car toys by his looks. Then comes the transformation. His upper half becomes Towline himself and the lower becomes a kind of base. Sure, sure, Towline's a bit chunky, but the look on his face means business. As for his Powerlinx combos, he can powerlink to two figures at once basically. Did I mention he can powerlink to himself? That's quite the cool mode by the way. Anyways, I love him. I recommend him highly.

Complete waste of $$$$
Like "The Phantom Menace", this book may be a victim of over-hype. On its merits, however, this book is still one of the worst disappointments I've ever had. The stage was set for a great sequel. Clarice Starling hunting Hannibal Lector, a monsterous villian. Maybe assisted by Will Graham or Jack Crawford. . . Nope. . didnt happen. . Instead we get a cast of characters that are more evil and sadistic than Lector, and what's worse is, they are unlikable and unsympathetic. The book is gross, and Harris seems determined to shock the reader with his prose. Not because it fit into the sotryline, but because he wanted a reaction from the reader. Additionally, if anyone has any other reaction than total disbelief at the ending, they should have their head examined.. like Paul Krendler.

I paid for an infomercial!!!
Don't be ripped-off! HONESTLY, the only reason this book rated 1 1/2 stars is because there is no zero-star option. Almost every page is a shameless plug for the author's newsletter and other financial wares. In between these nauseating self promotions is advice such as "when dealing with a commercial lender, try to negotiate a lower interest rate." DUUUHHHH!!! I never would have thought of that! If you need such advice, I will gladly sell you my slightly used book . . . and I have a bridge in Brooklyn. Seriously, don't waste your money!

Great Series, but bad disks
Love the series - that's why I purchased Season 1. Would have rated it as 5 stars.However, had to return the set due to a bad Disk 1 and Disk 5. Disk 1 had deep scratches and the picture would freeze and it couldn't clear itself and move forward. Two episodes were affected by the scratches, the other episodes were okay on the disk. Disk 5 also had several scratches. The set was purchased NEW from Amazon. Had to rate the item as a 2 star.Went to the local Walmart and purchased it again NEW and checked Disk 1 before I tried to use it. Again, Disk 1 was scratched similar to the set from Amazon. Played Disk 1 and this time the pixels started to separate on the screen and distorted the picture and faces. Obviously there is a problem from the manufacturing/packaging process. Had to return it to Walmart for a refund. Not sure if I'll buy it again.

Poor quality soup bowls
The soup bowls look like seconds. The rim around the bowl is not symetrical. It is crooked. When you put soup in it, it looks like you are eating on a crooked table. I called the company. They sent me entire sets to go through. These 3 sets were no better. I had to go through the trouble of returning each set. So if you do not mind having crooked soup bowls or having your set look like seconds buy it. I was very disappointed in Corelle. It was certainly not Amazon's problem. They tried their best to rectify the situation.

This is not SPM's best.
I was kind of disappointed with this album. While the production has improved somewhat, the lyrics have degraded a bit. While SPM has never been a good lyricist and some of his rhymes can be extremely simple, he has always been very entertaining. His rhymes have weaved humourous tales of drug use with sexual innuendos and crime fantasy. This album seems to have been rushed somewhat. There are times when his flow improves like the pretty good "All Cot Up" track. Unlike, his previous albums, he does not enlist much help from Baby Beesh or Grimm with the rhymes or Shadow Ramirez and Happy Perez with the production. If you're a hardcore SPM fan, you will definitely want to cop this album. If not, dont bother. You won't be missing much. I suggest SPM goes back to the drawing board and put some actual effort into his albums.

Have same problems as others have mentioned
As others have mentioned, my Keurig is also brewing only a partial cup. I also have owned my Keurig for about six months & it worked perfectly for that time. I received it for Christmas 2010 & in May 2011, it started only brewing a partial cup & water gets pumped back into the resevoir instead of into the coffee cup. We use filtered water only, so I don't know why it would have anything to do with scaling. I emailed Keurig approx. a month ago to their customer service dept & have not gotten a response. I'm sure they're inundated with emails about this problem. Do not buy this product unless you like replacing your coffee maker every six months. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!!

Nice sweater, but odd fit maybe
Bought this for my doberman who is always cold. It looked good and seemed to fit well, and he liked it. The turtle neck was especially nice since he has a very long neck. But something weird is going on with the sleeves. I think when he lays down they pull tight on his arms. He tries to get up but his front legs are asleep! So unfortunately I have to closely monitor him wearing it, which defeats the point cuz I wanted something cozy for him to sleep in since night is when he gets the coldest. Oh well! One more thing... I didn't notice in the picture, but there are 2 straps from the bottom of the sweater that wrap around the haunches. We had a good laugh at our dog's thong, then promptly cut the straps off.

Blade on TV did work...
..yet not enough! Blade the TV Series was actually pretty good. Now, I'm not a geek enough to look past bad production values for shows I really want to like. But to be honest, Blade wasn't all that bad! At times, it was really good! Sure, it wasn't the movies. But if you went into the TV show thinking that it was going to be the movies, then you deserve whatever disappointment you got. What Blade the TV Series did was take the world created in the movies and go into further details. The whole warring factions, the houses, the characters were really good! Sticky was a great Blade. And all the supporting characters were well done!I liked the show. I was pissed it got canceled. It just needed a little more time and a little TLC. Obviously, Spike TV felt it needed more male viewers.

NOT what you expect-new genre of horror movies
I have seen every single horror movie ever created period. I am an avid movie watcher and take movies seriously. What this movie has done is something i thought was nearly impossible or not going to happen for a long time. it created a new genre of horror movie and was simply put, one of the most creative, funny yet scary movies ive ever seen. I loved it. Its not what u expect at all. the advertising for this movie when it was being released was not great and should not reflect the movies whatsoever. i think they were trying to not reveal much about the movie but the trailer kind of gave the movie a different vibe than what it is. i would classify it as a comedy. its a comedy and a horror movie wrapped up into one. Its just amazing and you will find yourself rewatching it many times. I found myself in the theater wishing i could pause and rewind certain scenes. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE!!!!!

Venom is unleashed
This book was pretty good, and was actually the reason why I started collecting Ultimate Spider-man comics. It introduced the Ultimate Universe to Eddie Brock, and old friend to Peter. When they learn of a suit that could cure cancer, Peter Parker (Spider-man) accidently put it on. His strength and attitude was increased. He got rid of the costume before it permantly changed him. Eddie Brock figured out that Peter was Spider-man and put the suit on himself. He became Venom, a very crazy, strong, and strange-looking monster. If your looking for a book that has Venom at his best, this is not it. This Venom is very different from the regular Marvel Universe's Venom. This story is basically a shortened version of a story that marvel did in more than 100 or so issues! Its still a good story, plus it has Ultimate Shocker and Ultimate Nick Fury! I hope this helped you in making your decision on getting this book.

This movie made me want to commit suicide
This was one of the worst films I have ever seen. I watched it because my girlfriend made me. This was depressing and boring. I guess the message of this movie is if your sister tries to commit suicide and you come from a screwed up family, have sex with your sister's unattractive shrink and you will open up and live happily ever after! This is definitely a movie for the Oprah crowd or Doctor Phil fans. If you are a regular red-blodded American heterosexual you will despise this inane nonsense. The acting is terrible. This movie perpetuates the worst stereotypes of southerners as well as New Yorkers. As far as Nick Nolte, all he does is grunt and make bad self-deprecating jokes the whole movie. Why would any woman be attracted to this loser? Avoid this movie!!!!

STOPPED WORKING AFTER 6 MONTHS
This product does a great job dehydrating chicken if you are making jerky for pets. I tried making jerky in the oven and not only did it take "forever" but the end results was not satisfactory. The quality of the jerky made in the Nesco if far superior. However, this machine failed to work after only 6 months of use. For everyones information, there is a one year warranty. First, you must call and get approval to return the product.

It happened to cost me $22 for the return. If the unit can be fixed, it will take 3 weeks before you get your unit back. If it cannot be fixed, then will send you a new one. If you use the dehydrator frequently, I highly recommend that you purchase the top unit ($32) as a backup because eventually it will stop working. It's just a matter of time....

Not what it ought to be
Coming after (well, actually before...) 3 more or less great episodes in the saga, my expectation were very high. And were sadly disappointed. Episode 1 complitely miss the point. Star Wars is an objet of cult, is a mithology. Used to have humour style and class. Non e of which can be found here. It's hollow. Empty, no soul. And finally we are explained what the force is. The result of I don't want to know what process happening in tiny organism inside our blood. I though you needed a jedi master to control the force. I was obvously wrong. Better resort to an emathologist.

Huh? This games graphics seem 2000 years old!!!
I don't understand who likes this game? The graphics are VERY ancient. There also is no adventure to this game. The only thing you do is level, and level, and level. The adventure tasks that your trainer gives you have about 30 words in them, that's all. 30 words that's all, thats the big adventure in this game? To show that your in a city, there are 4 or 5 stones around in a circle, thats it. I think a high school student could of done a much better job. By the way I only played Midgard, I don't know about the other realms.But don't take my word for it, you can download and play for free. Just check out the graphics, and redundant music, its embarrassing. Go to the co. main website download the game and play for free if you really want to see BAD.

Fun game for 2 or more players
The first Fuzion Frenzy was one of my favorite games for XBOX. It's controls are very simple, which makes it fun to play for those who don't normally play video games. So when I recently got my XBOX 360, I was excited to hear there was a Fuzion Frenzy 2. I played the game at a friend's house who enjoyed the first game as well. Immediately we noticed that the announcer in the game was different. In fact, we found him to be quite annoying, and missed the Jerry Seinfeld-like voice of the first game. The mini games are fun, and I have my favorites. I was happy to see that my favorite "Twisted System" made it into the second game. However, I was a little disappointed that the actual fuzion frenzy round at the end of each area was taken away. Instead, you battle it out in a survival mode at the end of each planet. This is still fun, but I think they should just be mini games themselves, and keep the fuzion frenzy round. Overall, I like the game, and hope there is a 3rd one.

Such a shame
Like the last reviewer, I was a big fan of the orignial books. One after the other they have disintegrated into utter nonsense. The characters were cool and individual. Now they all clump into one big mass of silliness. And I no longer care about Anita. This was my last book. I thought the last one was my last, but I decided to give it one more chance. And what I've read of the next book bodes ill. So nope. They all went to goodwill and I've a whole row on my library shelf to devote to a new author. Like Susan Sizemore or Tanya Huff. Jeeesh, Christine Freehan is starting to look good.

A Grand Breyer Choice
Heylo, I own several varities of breyer horses already. Cigar though, is by far my favorite horse made by breyer. I love the way Breyer has sculpted the strong grooves of muscle deep within the horse. Cigar's hoofs seem to fly through the air as if this model is truly still running a grand race. Makes a great conversational piece. Cigar sits upon my window sill and often strikes interest among house guests. I give this horse 7 stars!! Probably a great time to go get Cigar sometime or another. For they may retire it soon. Would be a shame if no one else got to share their own part of Cigar's beauty. Enjoy! :0)

Y'all have all missed the ball
I was over 17 when this movie came out. It is one of Eddie Murphy's best. 48- Hours is his best. But this is one of the best soundtracks of the 80's. Don't listen to "I wish I could give 0 out of 5 stars". (...)This album, 'Miami Vice' and 'Top Gun' are the best of the 80's movie music. Though the original release of the soundtrack has a song by Rick James on it, all subsequent releases have not had the song "BHC". Instead the song "Emergency" by Rockie Robbins is on track #4. Which is too bad because the "James" is one of the best. The person who says the Patti LaBelle songs are the worst is also very mistaken.I have the original with the Rick James song and the 1985 CD release. All the songs are what the Mid - 80's Pop Music was all about. These songd transcended regular soundtrack music and became Top 40 Hits. Also, Glen Frey is also on the 'Miami Vice' T.V. Soundtrack (another Top 40 soundtrack to have).

Best album I ever bought.
Coheed and Cambria made In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 perfect. This is my favorite album ever. Each song is amazing (minus the introduction) although the intro moves the story along. what makes this album so special is what lies behind the music, the Amazing story. YES! there is a story. my favortie band, i recommend seeing them live, simply amazing. this CD is perfect, find the hidden track for an even more special CD. Coheed is amazing. Claudio Sanchez and the rest of the band are brilliant. this album changed my life, for the better. the vocals might scare you away at first, but if you can appreciate them it makes the experience ten times better. much love.

WOW! Amazing!
I almost didn't buy this juicer because of the bad reviews and issues with juice being trapped inside. Well, I went ahead and bought the juicer anyway because the good out weighs the bad. I'm also a Breville fan. All those bad reviews... I don't know what those people are complaining about - the juicer ROCKS!!! Used it for the time today and it is AMAZING! Super fast, pulp is dry, took organic apples and pears whole and got some amazing juice as a result. Took minutes to make juice and the clean up was easy (not messy like others stated). All the components are well made and easy to wash and dry. If you are looking to juice veggies, fruits, etc. I would recommend to anyone reading this - GO AND BUY IT!! What are you waiting for?I looked and review a lot of juicers and I'm glad I got this juicer.

Ralph T. at his best.
Dang Ralph this was your best solo album. And I remember buying this on cassette in 1990. Man New Edition was riding high then. It all started in 1988 for New Edition. When they got Johnny Gill on there team and Bobby went solo. It was Bobby Brown who went with Producers La & Babyface. And New Edition got down with Producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Then after New Edition HeartBreak album everybody went solo. BBD=BellBivDevoe Posion album then Johnny Gill, Then last but not least Ralph Tresvant dropped his solo album. And it was just as hot as his Homies. What an album but funny after they all did there first solo albums.All of there second solo attempts sucked ass. They had maybe some 3 to 5 good songs on the album. Neither one of there albums sold well as there first. But I do remember the good ones. Thats why I had to get this Cd. It brought back memeories of what I was doing back then,Ralph T. at his best. Thanx Ralph for putting this one out. E!

Wasted
It's does not vac at all. I am going to get a canister vac like my friends from Eurica, they worked great. Uprights are always too loud and does not clean well. My only good vac was the upright that's cordless. It does not clean very well, but does the everyday job of picking up dirt. My ex-wife got it and still using it. I need to get one. Wasted hundreds on Hoover and Dirt Devil's upright too. Purchase 3 Hoover in my life time and are not happy. 3 strikes, your out Hoover. I'll get a Eureka canister vac for sure.

One of the best
I have the original album(over 40 yrs. old). My father used to play this album when I was a kid and I got it from him. Mr. Cantoral's lyrics are some of the most loved in the world of romantic spanish songs. Incredible vocal harmonies and guitars. The lead guitarrist(playing the requinto) has to be heard to be believed. I have never heard anyone like him in this genre. I am also a musician so I have heard a lot of them. I hope we can get a CD version of the original. The real McCoy has a white cover with three guitars interlocked and the faces of the musicians showing thru the sound holes of the guitars. The original LP that I have is @ 40 yrs old and in near mint condition. In my opinion this is probably the best of this type of music.

MY BETTA IS SO HAPPY NOW!!!
I have a beautiful Moon-fin Betta in one of those Tetra Water Wonders 1.5 gallon tank kits. I had some small Greek ruins in there for a while but I wanted to give him a cave to hide in and feel safe. I looked everywhere for something that would look cool and fit in this small plastic tank. This is it!!! It looks so awesome! These complaints about the colors are rubbish. Yeah the colors are different than the photo but it's certainly not muted. Unless some people just received a bad batch of them, this coral cave ornament brightly glows with vibrant colors. Now my Betta swims right in and parks himself with his cute little head poking out like a moray eel! Highly recomended for small tanks and Bettas!!!

Shipping Charges Are Outrageous
This is a common thing I've found on the internet, especially on Ebay, but more and more on Amazon these days too. I selected several SD memory cards, placed them in my cart. When I went to check out, the total for the cards was about $70. The shipping was more than $85., and the tax was more than $12. The actual shipping charges would be less than $5. I don't know why these people do business this way. At best its dishonest, and at worse, its fraud. For me its a complete turn-off, and I won't do business with these kind of people. I just wish Amazon had a way for me to filter these merchants from my searches so I don't waste so much of my time. As this practice becomes more frequent on Amazon, I find myself using Amazon less. I can see a time in the near future where I'll only use Amazon for book purchases.

There's a reason it costs so little.
Honestly, it's worth 3 bucks. However, if you're looking for realism, you came to the wrong place. It appears to be an amalgam of separate samples, some of them more than likely created in a studio. The mix is a little off. It sounds like whoever did the mixing doesn't have a firm grasp on spatial reference, therefore, it doesn't sound terribly realistic. The waves are WAY too short and small sounding. It reminds me of the ocean waves in Florida where they are used to short, small wave sets. Unfortunately, I live in Northern California, very close to Mavericks, the biggest waves in the world. I was hoping for something a little more substantial. I'm still looking for the perfect ocean CD. At least there's no ridiculous synth music in the background, and there's very little seagull noise.

Great Daily Internet and Email Machine
Perfect 2nd machine for 90% of my daily tasks, including word processing, surfing and e-mailing. This is a suprisingly powerful little computer that is well worth twice the price. The ethernet card makes it a snap to get up and running on DSL or cable, too. The only downside is that it doesn't come w/ a CD-RW. Scavenge one, or buy one on sale and swap it for the CD-R. ...20 minutes should have you burning downloads like a pro. ... It seems to be a well engineered, tight, stable and bullet-proof little computer that is ready to go right out of the box. The entire package is well thought out, user-friendly and nicely documented.My other machine is a tricked-out P4 with all the bells and whistles that I use for heavy lifting. Sure is nice, but it cost more than 10x what the E-Machines cost! Seems like a waste to crank it up when the E-Machines machine can so capably do the job for most of my daily needs. Get one for yourself. Get one for a friend...

A good CHALLENGING World War 2 game (FINALLY!)
Hidden and Dangerous is a unique world war 2 game. while similar to Rainbow six in the fact that you can choose your team and change your view between first or third person, you have a much larger selection of weapons (Choose them well, you may need them all!) You can even pick up weapons from your oponents dead bodies (nice touch). The germans even have different uniforms! You can drive a variety of tanks, trucks, and cars. You can even set up what part of your team is going to do (example: You can have them follow you, lay cover fire, or even move from one place to another) while you take one of the team to accomplish the mission. This game also has very good graphics. I want to get the sequel when it comes out. This game is very challenging though, so if you are afraid of a challenge with GREAT graphics, GREAT gameplay, and a GREAT story, dont buy this game. or in other words, BUY THIS GAME!!!

If you're a hairy guy, get one.
I think this is a great little trimmer. I never had one before. Instead, I used to trim my nose and ear hair with a small scissors. But a small misstep left me wearing a band-aid in a somewhat embarrassing place. So I ordered this little puppy and it does a great job. I feel a little silly sticking it up in my nostrils, especially if my wife is around. She has a tendency to make fun of my technique, but she never complains about my grooming. My only reticence about the product is the power - sometimes I think if could use a little more. Then again, I'm not sure I'd want to put a stronger unit up my nose. I'm happy to recommend this unit. If you're a hairy guy, I highly suggest picking one up.

Just barely OK....
I like Joseph Mazzello a lot (he's a great young actor!), but I have to say that this movie stunk! It's basically about a kid with no friends who hides his identity and finds courage in a robot-like cyber suit from another world and becomes a super hero. I mean, it's not the WORST movie I've ever seen, but definitely not the BEST or even close to it. The acting is pretty OK, but most of it is a little cheesy. Star Kid is more for our younger audiences than older audiences. I rented this video and I can say that renting it once was enough for me! I've seen all of Joseph Mazzello's movies, and I have to say that his other ones are better. If you're a Joseph Mazzello fan, skip this one and pick up The Cure, Jurassic Park, Simon Birch, or The River Wild. Watching this movie once should be enough! Very disappointed.

I have seen the original Dark Water and it kept me on the edge of my seat!! But this no-name director turned that great asian flick into a HBO-sunday-matinee-family-movie. Now they lure the money out of your pockets with an "unrated edition". Exuse me? WHAT exactly was there to be rated in the first place? NOTHING. This movie is absolutely NOT scary at all. The actors are simply too cute looking to be scary. All the scary effects from the original movie where simply left out! I have seen dozens of asian new-horror ghost flicks and believe me, this remake simply is not worth buying, renting or even watching! Please go watch the original Dark Water, you won't be dissappointed!!

Last song "Beyond & Before" Rocks! Has other good tunes too.
Thank Goodness (or Thank "Sweetness") there are two CDs. The first one has some good songs but for me, it seemed lacking. Yeah "Every Little Thing" is interesting and "Looking Around," "Sweetness," etc. are good songs. Still, there seemed to be something missing. On CD2, I knew why I felt unsatisfied!The version of "Everydays" on CD2 is longer and more of a rocking tune. Speaking of better versions, the version of "Sweetness" is far superior to the previous version discussed. Listen to the different ending on this one! If there was any doubt over which CD is the better, listen to "Beyond & Before"- that is one of the group's best tunes! Wonderful!(*note -I rated this 4 Stars instead of 5 because about half of the songs throughout are listenable but not very exciting, compared to the better moments that are primarily on CD2)

Very effective
My wife has asthma, badly aggravated at the time by a thyroid problem, unknown to us. I tried this device only wiht the hope that it might make a difference. It did the first night and every night over the last 10 months. When she does not turn it on for any reason, she can feel the difference at night. We use it in a 20 x 20 bedroom, just start it up about 30 minutes before she goes to bed, run it all night, then shut it off in teh am when she gets up. It has a simple open cell foam filter and then a HEPA filter. We have to clean the foam filter every week, which is about a 5 minute job. The HEPA filter takes longer but it I think only has to be done every 2-4 weeks. For people with allergies (which my wife also has) or asthma, this is well worth a try as a solution. We have found it to be very effective. With a good night's sleep, she can tolerate the rest of the day without air flitration.

High Quality Bar Stools
I can't believe the price of bar stools in general! This was the best deal anywhere for some bar stools that were not the cheap metal ones that don't last. It turned out to be a great purchase for us. We got six of these stools. They assembled quickly and nicely. They are nice quality. They are comfortable. And we get tons of compliments on them all the time. After a year of use and a move to a new house, they also seem quite durable. So they are great quality at a great price. We love them!

not good
I haved been rebounding for the last 15 years. My old one finally became unusable thanks to a few springs breaking. I didn't want to spend too much for a new one. The reviews on amazon were ok on this one except for setup which was fine for me with the help of 2 people like it said. But I have used it 4 times. It a lot harder to bounce on then my last one which at first I thought well I'll get a better workout & burn more calories. But Ow! my feet don't seem to bounce flat thus making my ankles feet & knees hurt. So It is weird like you are bouncing on an angle almost like my feet sink in & turn my ankles in like it's not sturdy enough or not supportive enough & I'm only 130 pounds. So in my oppinion that's dangerous for joints which is why I was using it in the first place. So this one is going back to avoid injury!

Not Worth the Price
Apple Computers should be ashamed of themselves. I received my 40 GB ipod as a 2004 Christmas present and the problems began after only 6 months. Though I sould say, I really loved my ipod before it crapped out on me. I see a lot of other customers have had similar trouble with this thing and I just want to cast my vote of disapproval. The problems are: The computer/itunes not recognizing the ipod. The hard drive spinning up but never starting. The hard drive crashing and losing all data resulting in having to reset the ipod to factory settings and reinstalling the software and after all that having the same problem happen again.After hearing all the horror stories about Apple's customer service I figure it's not worth trying to repair. Since this model has been discontinued, there's no point in telling people not to buy it now. I only hope that the new ipods are better. I'll be reading the reviews very carefully if and when I decide to get another ipod. Live and learn.

excellent movie
I haven't read any Jane Austin, like many of you have. I just can't get into the style of writting. So my exposure to Austin's work comes through movies. I loved this movie. I saw it on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS. Unlike the other Austin productions I've seen on Masterpiece Theatre (Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park), I felt this movie rather than watched it. Here is Anne, confronted by her lost love, watching him court another woman right in front of her. Here she is, unable to reveal that she still loves Captain Wentworth, about to loose him again. Sally Hawkins portrayed Anne in such a heartfelt way, I'm touched every time I see the movie. I thought the movie was well done, the score beautiful, and oh, how I sympathized with Anne. I can't say if this Persuasion is better than the book, or better than any other production of it, but I really enjoyed it as it was.

Kill This Book Please
While the author's account is factual accurate, I felt I did not learn much new information about EC. The book was very thin and really did not go into much detail. The author only alludes to what Elvis might have been thinking/feeling etc. or quotes what others have stated. The whole book felt like a term-paper I might have written at the end of high school. Being a huge Elvis Costello fan, I really expected more from this book. The book is divided up into three sections. The first section is the bio. The second is a discography (available at almost every EC website) a complete waste of paper (but given that the bio portion is so short the author probably needed to fill the pages with something). I only wish I had read a review of this book prior to pre-ordering it. I've learned my lesson. So basically unless you need to own every piece of Elvis Costello...skip this one!

3 Months Later...It Fell Apart
My beautiful garden arbor that I've had only since June finally collapsed into 3 pieces. As you might have read in my previous review, my husband and I fortified the shoddy construction with additional screws and glue. It just really couldn't withstand the Texas heat. I'm not sure what happened to the thing, but it started rotting on the top/center about 2 weeks after we set it up. Then, the side rails split and finally broke on one side. And it was just sitting there! No more big storms, just the Texas heat. Maybe it melted the glue? Who knows, but my money did not entirely go to waste. I've cut off the top on one side and saved both planters. They are still in one piece. My new advice, pass on this arbor

A great game ruined
I've been playing since launch, but up until about a month ago, I was taking a four or five month break from the game. I played WoW a little bit, but when I got back to SWG, I realized how much I really loved the game. Then the Combat Upgrade hit.The game is now pretty much unplayable, as far as I'm concerned. People complained about the game being "too easy" and about how everything in the game can be killed solo. Well, fine. Then balance it. But SOE overcompensated and made EVERYTHING much tougher than it should be. It was underbalanced before, and it's severely overbalanced now.SOE Customer Support is HORRIBLE. They don't listen to you, they don't care if you have problems or make mistakes. Don't expect any help at all if something happens to you. SOE is truly one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with. The customer is always wrong as far as they're concerned.Play WoW or Guild Wars or something like that. But pass on this one, my friends.

WCW Fall Brawl 1998 review
The tag team match between The Dancing Fools(Disco Inferno & Alex Wright) against the team of Jim Neidhart & The British Bulldog was a rather pedestrian tag match with the requisite goofs and timing issues. The Chris Jericho-Fake Goldberg match was a super dud. The Norman Smiley-The Cat match was agony for both the ears and eyes. The Rick Steiner-Scott Steiner match was a pretty good brawl until Buff Bagwell(who was in Scott Steiner's corner) got his neck broken. Don't worry he's okay now. The Cruiserweight title match between Silver King & Juventud Guerrera was not very good but at least they were trying. The Raven's Rules match between Raven & Perry Saturn was not great but still a pretty good hardcore brawl. The Curt Henning-Dean Malenko match was a one-sided nightmare. The Konnan-Scott Hall match was pitiful. The Wargames match between Team Hollywood, Team Wolfpack and Team WCW was pretty good wrestling wise but awful entertainment wise. I give this PPV a 4 out of 10.

Love it.... but on my 2nd unit
Great little player - small, light, great battery, great capacity for my needs. "Upgrader" bug bit me on the start of a 1 month NY to Australia trip. Thankfully, the unit was still under warranty when I returned. They eventually agreed to RMA the unit and do a cross ship (this part was VERY difficult and they wanted to charge me until I complained). Knock wood - good luck so far with the new unit. As for the support folks - blame RIO, not them. RIO gives them the policies, and they do a great job following them. It's up to RIO to change their bad policies and stand by their product. They should know better than to give their customers a hard time when they KNOW their product has issues! I fully expect to be reading about a class action lawsuit by owners at some point (like the IBM deskstar/"Deathstar" from a couple of years back). That said, I LOVE my nitrus (now that I have a working unit) - I just worry about it's longevity.

Not worth the money
You are probably looking at this item and thinking the same thing I was thinking before I bought this: It's very cheap, doesn't look so bad, and what can possibly go wrong. Boy was I wrong. After the first week, the garbage headphones that it came with stopped working. After a month, the sound kept on going on and off and stopped working the next week. It is also very hard to navigate around this thing. Save yourself the time and money and buy yourself something like the SanDisk Sansa m230 which is a little more money, but probably worth it. Now I'm stuck with a broken mp3 and I am going for the m230. Trust the reviews. The people that gave this a good review, probably rated this a day after they received their mp3 player. I should have trusted the reviews before buying this. Don't get stuck with this like I did. I only rated this 2 stars, since it lasted 5 weeks.

AMATEURISH BOOK
I really grew to dislike Tess. She is bossy and a know it all. She is constantly talking down to Dane and is very disrespectful. I don't know too many men who would tolerate her mouthiness, especially a Captain in the 18th century. The ending was terrible. And, of course, Tess comes across, at all times, smelling like a rose. Everyone loves her. Why? I can only see this book appealing to a 16 year old girl with no experience in life whatsoever. This author's writing is a bore. The book only got worse with continued reading.

Great Bargain Buy!!!
This recording includes some of the best music Sebilius ever composed! There's the symphony number 2, the immensly melodic Karelia Suite, and the well known Finlandia. The CD begins with the Sebilius' symphony number two. The performance is intense, but yet well reserved. After the climatic Amen of the second symphony begins the Karelia Suite. This performance of the suite is top notch, not too fast, not too slow. In my opinion it is the best of the works on this compact disc. And last on the CD is the ever so popular Finlandia, known to some as "Be Still My Soul". This performance definitely lacks speed making it the slowest version I've ever heard. Instead of having a running time of seven minutes, it is bumped up to eight. Despite its slowness, this performance has plenty of dramatic power. If you are searching for a budget priced CD that will be hard to put away, then search no more. The selection of music on this CD is excellent, although the sound quality could be better.

Good Horror Film
Overly Gory? Not to me. If you're a horror fan I dont see how you could say this is ''overly gory''. It had its moments but thats what this genre is about. It had a lot more gore than the original but it was still an entertaining movie.Setting: 60s- 2 brothers and their girlfriends are on their last road trip before getting sent back to Vietnam. They end up getting in an accident and when the sheriff comes then the terror begins. This movie tells the story of leatherface and the family. It reminds me more of the second film and third films in the series. Its nowhere near as good as the original but I found it to be better than the fourth film and the remake of the original. It was somewhat different in the way that no one survives. It has a lot of unexpected twists to it. This was no masterpiece of horror but it was entertaining enough and a decent addition to the series.

bam glitter!
the only reason i didn't give this a 5 star review is because it wasn't exactly what i was expecting. even though you have to put 2 layers or so on it works perfectly! i've never been one for liquid eyeliner but it is exactly the amount of glitter that i want and it doesn't move after it dries. i love love love this product!! worth every penny. it didn't make my eyes itchy and i have sensitive skin. the only thing i thought would be different is i thought it was black with glitter in it. it isn't. its just the rainbow glitter. but if you put regular eyeliner on and then this, you're set! if you do decide to buy this, enjoy!!!

WONDERFUL FANTASTIC SPIRITUAL EVEN
I am a relative newcomer to this wonderful man's music. I was raised with Opera. But this CD is even better than I had ever dreamed a pop album could ever be. His voice has a spiritual quality that sends shivers up my spine and I am 57 years old. My husband is just as crazy about this offering as am I We especially like his duets with Dulce Pontes and Eros Ramazzotti. It shows his ability to sing whatever he wants to, in any style. Everyone can not sound like Pavorotti, nor do they need to. Personally I like Bocelli much better. "Sogno" is a beautifully written piece with wonderful words. The only cut we didn't like was "The Prayer".We are so 'over' Celine Dion. Now I have every singe CD with the exception of Aria. Keep up the good work, Andrea, we love you.

Terrible...
I thought I'd seen the worst movie EVER when I suffered through NASTY RABBIT. Ha! At least I made it all the way through that hideous disaster! ADDAMS FAMILY REUNION is a total embarassment! I could only stomach about 15-20 minutes of this wretchedness before shutting it down! Tim Curry as Gomez? Darryl Hannah as Morticia?? C'mon! These two have certainly seen better days, but hey, no one could possibly save this toilet-boat! Raoul Julia and John Astin must be spinning in their graves like cyclones over this! I only hope it never sees the light of DVD! Please, if you want to recreate the effect of this movie on the brain, do it the cheap way. Just punch yourself in the temples while slamming your face with a door! You have been warned... -- Update (2-6-10): John Astin lives! Sorry...

You get what you pay for.
I opted on this storage chest because I didn't want to spend the money on a teak chest. I found this one, thought it was attractive and large enough for our needs. It took 3 times as long as it should have to assemble. The pre-drilled holes did not line up. We had to purchase new hindges. It arrived with no slated bottom for ventilation. We called the manufacuturer and they are supposed to ship us on one. We'll see if it arrives. I don't recommend this product unless you're willing to work to get it together. The quality is a little cheap as well. But if you're not that picky, then it should be just fine.Noted Added 08/28/04: The manufacturer shipped out the missing part promptly. We are pleased with their customer service on this product.
