Good album, but what happened?
I remember seeing Bush in 1996. During that time No Doubt opened for Bush. Yes that's right kids! Success comes and goes for most bands. Bush nowadays would open for No Doubt. Ironic don't you think? A lot changes in time. This album is good, but what happened. What happened is people started moving past grunge after 1996. After bands like Nirvana people held onto the dream. I myself included. But it is over. Everytime I go to Pearl Jam concerts I see people with Nirvana t-shirts, but sadly I've moved on. What other choice do we have.

Best Western Release Since Tombstone
My husband is not much on going to the movie theater but I got him to go see this one - not once but twice so far. He would go every weekend to see this one. The only other time I got him into the theater was to see Tombstone. American Outlaws has it all. From romance, to comedy, to history, to drama - it fulfills all areas and fulfills them well. Gabriel Macht who plays Jesse James brother, Frank was superb. I would compare his performance to that of Val Kilmer in Tombstone. Frank James made the movie for me! He was absolutley brilliant. We took our eight year old son to see this movie after we saw it the first time. He loved it. There is VERY LITTLE profanity and not as much violence as one would expect. This movie is a must see for any western/romance movie lover!

21st Century German Swing Vocalist
This CD was a surprise. A friend in Berlin sent it to me, and I was immediately captured. OK, so you don't know German, which is unfortunate because the lyrics are often whimsical and innovative. Even if you don't know German, the music is grand, and Cicero's voice and delivery are beautiful. Where did this guy come from? Well, he was born in Berlin in 1970 to Lili Czizceo, a dancer, and Eugen Cicero, a renowned jazz pianist. He grew up in show business and was already on TV by the early 1980s, including appearances at age 16 with Horst Jankowski. He studied at the Hohner Conservatory in Germany and worked on jazz singing at the Amsterdam Academy of Arts. He now appears with a big band after first forming his own jazz quartet in 2003. His combining of the swing style with clever lyrics is downright captivating, as are his good looks. The comparisons to Michael Bublé and Frank Sinatra are not far afield.

Got both my kids to understand algebra FINALLY
I have a 14 and a 17 year old and they were both really having a time with algebra. So I gave this a try (free from my library) and they both said it was the first thing to really help them. I had them sit and watch, then pause it and take notes on each issue with algebra that came up. Admittedly, there is a guy at a chalkboard explaining math, so it was a shock they got so much out of it. Personally, we homeschool and algebra was a long time ago for me. Well, the kids raved about this guy. He puts everything into simple terms, no complex craziness; he really breaks it down. I'd say giving this 5 stars was super easy...but I borrowed it for free. Perhaps your library can do an inter-library loan on these? If not, and you have the money for it, get it. It's awesome. It's just like having a math tutor in your house.

More Half-Season Garbage
Add "My Three Sons" to the list of chopped up season box sets. We want complete seasons, NOT HALF SEASONS at the full price. There's no reason beyond pure greed that these classic shows cost so much. The "Addam's Family" box set was a sad package of a great show. Is anyone involved in making these DVD sets actually a fan of the shows? Do they even know what the shows are about and the times they come from? Every once on a while a perfect box set comes along like "Leave It To Beaver Season 1", "Sledge Hammer (seasons 1 & 2)", and "Hazel". This set is just one more reason to buy other shows. We wait, and wait and we wait some more and then we wait a while longer and then finally!...... A HALF SEASON!!!!! Sorry...I'll pass on this one despite the sadness it causes me.

A rushed retelling of the series
Fate Stay / Night is a 5 star series in my mind. It has excellent animation, voice acting, plot, action, and drama. This movie is an alternate retelling of the series. The animation is better, but that's the only thing I can think of that it has on the original show. The character introductions are rushed, many of the voice actors are different, and it's hard to sum up a detailed plot like this one in a movie. Even though it's pretty long, it needed more time. An hour and 40 minutes isn't enough. The movie is good in it's own way, but having seen the show first, it left me wanting more from it. I guess that if you want to get a feel for what the series is like this movie can give you a general idea. I think that if you're new to the show, I suggest buying the first volume of the series on DVD or Blu-ray. It's an excellent series. I highly recommend it to any anime fan. The movie is really kind of unnecessary in my opinion.

SOS come full circle.....
I have been a fan of Swing out Sister for years now and have always fell in & out of love with them. This album is an "In Love" rating for me! Right from the first cut "Through The Sky", they seem to really be taking you on a journey...A trip that seems reflective of almost all of thier past efforts. If you listen closely you can definately hear remnants of "Its Better To Travel", "Kaleidoscope World", "The Living Return" and so on. Swing Out Sisters' one unfailed characteristic is that they always sound like THEMSELVES. This album reminds me that they even sound like their early selves.....like they have come full circle. Highlights are "Through The Sky", "Will We Find Love", "Where The Hell Did I Go Wrong?", & "Touch Me Now". But don't get me wrong.....the whole effort is incredible! They will always have my heart whether I like it or not!!!

My first Charlie Hall CD and probably won't be my last!
I purchased this CD because I love David Crowder and Chris Tomlin, and since Charlie Hall is always on the Passion Tour with them, I figured he must be pretty good. And he is! Although not as good as either Crowder or Tomlin, Charlie Hall does a great job. My favorite song is easily My Drink (I Remember You). Great chorus includes the lyrics: "You are my drink, you are my feast, you are my love, my soul's own King." It also has an excellent bridge that says: "Your body and your blood, and I remember you. Upon the cross you hung, and I remember you." Excellent! Overall, this is a solid album that is not breaking any new musical ground, but is adding great lyrics to praise God with. You will find yourself singing along. Charlie Hall shows why he is on tour with the greatest in the industry.

NOT INCLUDED!
This is supposed to be an excellent product . . . BUT, since it requires an AC adapter (which IS NOT INCLUDED) I haven't been able to use the product yet. (How silly to sell something without all the necessary items!) My advice! Open the box and check to see what is included before you bring it home - NO WHERE ON THE BOX DID IT SAY IT NEEDED AN AC ADAPTER THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED! I'm hoping this is worth all the extra trip to the store to get an adapter. (As for the "stars" for this review . . . who knows???? It was a required field)

Welcome to New America
Remember the good ole days of comedy? Well, now we have Jackass The Movie. Based on the television show on Mtv (incase you kids don't know. It used to stand for Music Television). After Mtv dissed all the music videos off the air (except for at 5 a.m.) they made Jackass. A show about people hurting themselves for money. Then this vile disgrace of American culture came out 'Jackass the movie'. Be stunned : As a man eats a urine snowball. Marvel: As a man inserts toys in himself (not mouth). Laugh: As.... well, ok. Don't laugh. Infact DON'T buy this excuse for a movie. NO WONDER WHY FRANCE HATES US!!!!!

Love knows no time.
After watching the movie Speed, I fell in love with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves movies. So you cant imagine my excitement when I found this movie. This movie completely dug its way into the depths of my heart. The plot was solid and completely pwnsome! (lol). The way the movie played through was completely wonderful. The combined acting talents of both Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves delivered this movie in a jewel incrusted platinum platter. The production of this movie was outstanding and the setting they used was completely magical and added more to the romance. The music used in the movie added more imphasis to each scence easily created the mood. Above all else, the way the plot moved along was great. I guess the only thing to do now is read the book and watch the movie again. SPOILER ALERT: You Will Cry At The Romantic Ending!!! :D

love that baby
Our six month old received this for christmas. He liked it because he could stand holding on to it. He also likes to pull up on it. He loves to pick the balls up and put them in the center hole. He also likes putting anything that will fit in that hole. The negative aspect to this toy is that it is not heavy enough to withstand a 8-9 month old child pulling up on it by himself. He has pulled it over on him several times, which causes him to fall to the ground and bump his head. I have to be right there when he plays with this and hold the other side of it. Also, it is starting to shift because of the pulling on it. Overall, he thinks it is great. He has even picked a favorite color ball.

I'd never buy another Kodak camera!
I'd never buy another Kodak camera!I bought a Kodak digital camera and it has been fine. However, knowing what I know now I would never buy another Kodak camera. Ever. I dropped the camera, and a little plastic piece broke off which keeps the battery pack in the camera. Not a big deal. But NOONE repairs Kodak cameras. Instead you HAVE to send it into their corporate repair center and they instead sell you on trading it in for a refurbished camera. So, I can send this one in and for $250 get a new refurbished camera. Whooppe! But it only sells for $50 more on amazon.com - and thats a new, non-refurbished one! Its a total crock. Just be forwarned. I'd never buy a camera which I cant get repaired locally.

stay relaxed
Good quality product. The waist is true to size. Fits well. The legs however are quite loose. Loosest relaxed fit I have ever seen. Depends on what you are looking for. Great to work in if you squat or bend your legs. Lots of room. They feel really great. Almost like you are not wearing any pants. Very comfortable. I feel they look a bit funny for like wearing out. I have refered to them as my clown pants.LOL.. However I do like them. I would rather have them too loose opposed to being too tight. If you are looking for a work pant I recomend them.

At Last !! Irish Tour 74 -THE FILM of Rory Gallagher !!!
This is a classic performance of Rory Gallagher Irish Tour 74. A film ( documentary) by Tony Palmer released for `cinema' in 1974,capturing the high energy of these concerts.Rory At his best!! This DVD is a great gift for all fans. The `documentary' shows the band`s members before the concert,jokes,jams sessions and Rory in a musical instrument store trying acoustic guitars and others curiosities. The song `A Million Miles Away 'is absolutely great !!Rory isn`t forgot. The image isn`t a digital perfection (remember, this concert was in 1974,recorded for a `movie' documentary),but the quality and the sound are good for me,worth see and buy this rare Rory`s performance.( Remastered in 5.1 surround sound ). This DVD have discography informations and a `bonus' session recorded Live in Japan 1974.A blured image,but rare. 83 minutes of the best`s Rory Gallagher concerts !!! 27 Years to see this,until now !!At last.

Wait for something better
The book is too long, with irelevent information for the reader. The book covers all samples in both Visual Basic and C Sharp, making the volume twice the size (and probably price). However, the exam lets you pick one language. Why spend time covering the differences between VB and C#?The authors completely ignore C++. This is a valid language choice for exam 70-536. (Look at the microsoft website, under 70-536). So if you are a C++ developer, you need to reintepret the C# samples. However the authors have no problem giving every example in both VB and C# to make their book bigger.I gave this book two stars instead of one. This is only because of the 90 day 2005 Professional edition, and the Exam discount.The discount runs all the way to 2010.After reading their book I am considering writing my own. I can give examples in all three languages. That way I can charge one third more money!!!

Good overall.
I have enjoyed playing this game. I only give it three stars due to the constant changing of the superhero's powers. As your superhero increases in level, you will choose powers and enhance those powers to your liking. As soon as you design your superhero the way you like, you log on one day and the game has a new version with changes to some of your powers. I think it's also safe to say that the changes that I have seen so far have weakened most powers. This may not seem like an issue to some of you but it is very frustrating to spend 4-5 hours a week for a few months playing this game just to have your favorite powers drastically changed. I actually cancelled my account over the last version. My two superheroes powers were so drastically changed that it was not fun to play them anymore. Beware!! If you like stability, do not buy this game!!!

Very pleased with outcome
I am a parent and I operate a school clinic. I have heard about every treatment option out there. I don't recommend the products that use pesticides (Nix, Rid etc...). They don't prove to be effective, and research has shown the risk of using those products.I have used this product personnally (thanks to summer camp and daughters with long hair). The ease of the product when used as directed, and the comb that comes with the kit was dramatic. The nits were loosened and removed easier than I have ever found. I highly recommend this product to parents, I was not disappointed. Note: The only effective way to completely "cure" a case of headlice is to remove ALL of the nits. This takes more than shampoo and a comb. It takes dedication and several nights of combing. Licefreee just makes the job that much easier.

Misfits is just that
Not saying there aren't good things here. Rock'nRoll Fantasy is as good as anything they've ever done, but the reviewers here seem to be close to rabid in their passion for the Kinks.It's a good record. A few good Ray Davies' societal watchdog things. The title track is awesome, but only Rock'n'Roll Fantasy comes close to the promise of that song. After that, it gets entertaining but pedestrian. Let's be clear here, I really like the Kinks. Something Else is an all-time Top Ten pick, and I'm a staunch defender of Phobia. But Misfits is no such classic. A fan's-only record if I ever saw one.The music's ok, but sanitized. A very thorough scrubbing was done on these tracks to make sure that no stray feedback or echo gets into your ears. I hate that.If you're not a fan, find a best-of somewhere and stay away from this. Not too great.A Kinks Krapfest, unfortunately.I'd like to be wittier, but I can't. Sorry. It's just not that good.

Stick with Traser - 20 years and still going strong!
I've had this model for about 20 years. It still keeps perfect time. The glow of the dots has faded but still easy to read at night or in a movie theater. I still get compliments on this watch. The crystal face over the years has a little wear but still perfectly clear. I just can't believe how well this watch has held up over the years. It's the only watch I wear.Someone above mentioned this watch is the same as Luminox. They are mistaken. That use to be the case but is not longer so. I was researching this watch as I am thinking of getting a silver one. I discovered Luminox sold half their company to Mondaine which now makes the watches in China. And, as expected quality has dropped. You'll see people writing bad reviews for these watches.

MITCH ON SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitch's first CD was Brilliant!! I got a lot of my friends into Mitch because of that CD. However, I don't know what the heck happened to him on this one. The jokes are great, but the delivery is flat out terrible. It seems like he had about 30 cups of coffee and is trying to rush the laughs instead of just letting them happen. I saw him at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando and he just rushed the jokes there as well. I'm still not giving up on him though, however, he's got to change soon or I'm out. Along with many others! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS FIRST CD, which you can get on www.mitchhedberg.net. It is one of the funniest stand-ups I've ever heard. With regards to this one though, I lent it to a friend and don't care if I get it back. MITCH, IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE SLOW IT DOWN ON STAGE!!

Negative experiences
I purchased this set a couple of months ago. I have used two of the bits so far and ruined two projects. As reported in other reviews I had the shank on the 1/4 inch straight bit snap off. I was routing in 3/4" pine plywood. I was not overloading the bit. Next I used one of the round over bits. About half way through the project the bearing came off and ruined the project.This is a very light weight set and suitable for very light use. If you buy it take all the bearings off and use lock tight before re-installing. At the very least tighten the cap screw holding the bearings. I found several less than hand tight. I would not purchase this set. Pay a little more and get something that will last and not ruin your work.Since writing this review I have continued having poor experiences with this set. I have had other shanks break on light to medium use. I consider this set cheap Chinese junk. Go elsewhere and get a serviceable product.

What was the name of this movie???
I don't think it was Troy! Why? Because it had nothing to do with the written story by Homer. Menelaus dies only because he has to be the bad guy in this movie... and there wasn't enough time to show the real death of Agamemnon, (he was killed in his bath by his own wife after returning to Greece) , so they killed him in a way they liked best. Also, Achilles (Brad Pitt) and Hector are the only ones who fight quite well. The rest just get slaughtered. But as we know from the Iliad there were also other great fighters which in this film were left at home! The only strong thing in this movie is Brad Pitts performance but he alone can't save this fiasko! The t.v. movie HELEN OF TROY is closer to the true story although its low budget and this unbelievable and unexeptable bald Achilles... Just read the book! You will love it!

Good Lord, how dull.
In a world full of wonderful books, I will not waste my time with this one. It's as if you're at a wonderful desert table with a chocolate fountain and unbelievable cakes and candies, and you choose to eat a stale wafer cookie.It's narrated as if you're watching a old educational video, dialogue that was totally out of style 50 years ago. What is with the weird use of present tense? And the weird absence of use of contractions? What teenage boy says "I did not know him well, but he was well liked by everyone."? The whole thing has the effect of distancing the reader from the characters altogether. It's as if all the characters are on very heavy doses of anti psychotic drugs, totally flat affect and super super superficial. I cannot stress enough what rubbish this book is. That there are apparently 5 books in this series already completely boggles the mind. Who buys this rubbish? What moron in the publishing house sent this through?

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad movie!
I love Kevin Sorbo and he looks pretty good in this movie. That's the only nice thing I can say.This is the WORST movie. Ever. Seriously. It may be good for some comic relief and I did laugh at the sheer ridiculousness. While I was watching, I kept thinking this was some sort of inside joke, and surely they were all in on it. I kept waiting for the wink-wink, nod-nod, elbow poke, and someone to jump out and say, "Just kidding! Here's the real movie."I gave it one star because the rating system made me.**EditedI had to come back and make an addition to my input after reading through the other reviews. Someone here actually gave this four stars. They advised people that they have to know what they are watching and stated that this movie has a good plot. 0.OUm...HAHAHAHAH! No.

Too much filler, not enough substance
I began reading the WOT series shortly after it came out and was thoroughly hooked. Great story lines, fascinating characters, and a lot of action. Now I'm bored reading his books. The last two or three entries have done nothing but ramble. It's time for Jordan to put some substance back into this series and wrap it up. Stop milking the cash cow and get on with the final battle. Path of Daggers did absolutely nothing. Where's Mat? What the hell happened with the Seachan? All of a sudden that story line ended with some guy crying. Jordan needs to wrap this series up. For those of you writing great reviews I have to disagree.

Not His Best
Not David Gilmour's best work but it's OK. The first cut is an instumental and acts as an intro to cut #2 "On An Island" which is a decent song both lyrically and musically. He get's help on this from Crosby and Nash (no Stills). 3, 4 & 5 are sleepers as in they will put you to sleep. 6 "This Heaven" is a really nice "Bluesy" cut and I think it is my favorite. 7 is an instrumental but it is very forgettable. 8 is cheesy, just not at all what I would expect from David Gilmour and you will never ever hear this on any radio station. I listened to 9 ONCE and now I skip it. If I make a copy of this for the car I will leave it out. The last song "Where We Start" is ok but again it is very laid back but it does have a nice guitar solo. There is some excellent guitar work sprinkled about the whole album. This is an album that many PF and DG fans looked forward to for some time now and I suspect that many of them will be disappointed. (Where is Roger?)

much better than my old one
I sprained my ankle playing basketball about 8 months ago. It healed pretty quickly and I started using an old ankle brace that I have. Then I had a doozy of a sprain on the same ankle about a month ago... WITH THE OLD BRACE ON. I didn't think that could happen. Somehow I hurt ligaments and tendons on both sides of the ankle, high and low. X-rays showed no breaks though. I'm just now starting to play again. I bought this McDavid Lightweight model and have been very impressed with it. It's a sturdy material that gives a lot more support than my old brace. And it has the steel stays for even more support. It doesn't feel like it hurts my "quickness" any more than the old brace did. It pretty much keeps the ankle from turning but allows you to extend it without too much resistance. It's a quality brace.

No real horrors, not even much spider
A horrid movie obviously made by people with no concept of how to make a film. The amazing plot is a plane carrying 8 female dancers and their manager, crashes, leaving them floating in a life raft. They finally wash ashore on a small island. The manager, Gary, gets bitten by a very large spider and slowly turns into a half man/half spider. I guess you could say that he then terrorizes the women, but it's really only a few scenes. Gary disappears for a good half hour of the film while the women romp around in various stages of undress. The "effects" are below what you would normally see in a high school play. The acting, well, there was no acting. There were a lot of lines being read woodenly and voices dubbed poorly. The whole spider thing was just an excuse to make a movie with a bunch of half naked women. Come to think of it, this movie was genius! If you must see this film, watch the MST3K version. Mike and the Bots give it more life than it deserves.

Well researched!
This video is an excellent video to show students, young adults as well as adults who want to know more about their faith and how did the Vatican came to be. I think it is also encourage anyone who is interested or curious about the Cathoilc faith to take a preview of the video. The video decribes how an ordination happens at Saint Peters, what actually goes on during an ordination. The video also decribed a Blessed and is story and how one day, he could become a Saint by the Pope. Finally, once a Pope dies, a new Pope must be elected, the video will cover that as well. The pictures of the Vatican are just awesome. I've been to Rome before, and these pictures just bring back memories. Also, I forgot to mention, the Swiss Guards. The video goes into how one becomes a guard for the Pope and there uniform. You must buy it or at least rent it if you can. The Pope is seen in several frames thoughout the video.

Amazing book !!!
Since I first read this book a few years ago, I have recommended it to many others and given it away as gifts. It was great for my elderly father, who enjoyed learning more about memory and aging, as well as for a young student neice who enjoyed learning about how we learn and retain information and tips and tricks to studying. Want to know aout Alzheimers or preventing it? About Autism? Learning disabilities? Photographic memory? Schizophrenia? Or even why we like spicy foods? This book provides truly interesting real life stories and examples. Its the best book I ever read that takes the science of the brain and makes it understandable and fascinating to the average person. Even years later, I often take it out a read a section here and a section there. Ratey did a fantastic job with this book!!!

Hellinger is dangerous
If you really believe, that you can change your attitudes by visiting Hellinger's family constellation therapies, then wake up! It does not work like that easy, to change one-self. Sadly.The patterns which arose passivly, without your consciousness, will not change by this method. You will run into a short high. Then you will fall even deeper. It is easy to climb a mountain. Particular if somebody offers you a lift. But it is difficult to climb down. Because the lift was an illusion. So you stay up there and pretend, that you are flying. Fly well, the impact of the fall will help others to earn more money.

Yes, For Political Junkies
My friends say I'm a political junkie and I guess it's true. I loved this book! I was at the bookstore waiting for my girlfriend to finish shopping and I just picked this off the rack because of the cover. After about ten pages I got into it and actually had to buy the book! I was still reading it in bed but had to control my laughter not to wake my girlfriend. I finished the book during breakfast. Anyway, all of this is to point out not only do I have a girlfriend(!) but this book is great if you're into politics and also have a sense of humor. I'm glad to see there are others here who liked it. The professional reviews posted here seem accurate to me, except the point about the "vague ending." If you know American politics, you won't consider the ending vague but very pointed and an attack against the pundits who act like they can predict the future.

A great change from tedious religious films
Here's what there is to say: 1) Johnny Depp is terrific as Dean Corso, the man you hate but have to sympathize with. It's amazing how Depp can portray such a wide variety of characters. 2) The screenplay, for the most part, is what makes this movie. There are very few, if any, unnecessary scenes and elements like lighting are all very appropriate to mood and style. 3) It's not a horror film. Thank God. If this had been a cheesy horror flick I wouldn't have seen it. No "dramatic buildup into nothingness" as is too typical these days. 4) An interesting taken on Satanism without stereotyping everyone who takes an interest.The only problem with the film: A few ridiculous plot twists here and there. Where do they come from? Who knows.

Maybe John Cornwell is the Bigot or a sensationalist
John Cornwell was not in Rome, not even in Italy from 1935 to 1944. If he were there then he would have needed Hitler's permission. In fact the Facists and Nazi controled not only Rome but the entire country. The Allies didn't free Rome (and the Vatican) until 1944. I was in Italy in 1944 and know that Hitler controlled Rome as he did Greece, and most of Europe. Before Hitler got to Italy His Buddy Mussollini had taken over convents, churches and other Catholic Church properties. To say that Pope Pius X11 could have stopped or impeded Hitler is absolutely rediculous. The Jewish people in Italy and in fact all over the world admired the man. So John Cornwell made himself a few milion dollars condemning a Pope he never knew. He is not a scholar in my mind. He is a sensationalist making a cheap buck and of course he has a right to printing such trash.John

Doesn't Work
My husband and I bought the Floor Mate after quite a bit of research to use on our linoleum floors. We were so excited when we brought the Floor Mate home. It was very easy to put together and very easy to operate. However, we soon noticed that the Floor Mate just didn't work. It didn't scrub our floors at all. It would lay down cleaning solution and just suck it up. I would have to make numerous passes over dirty spots to get them up (if they even came up at all). Because I was continually making numerous passes over the dirty areas, I went through the cleaning solution very quickly. The sample bottle (8oz) was used up the first time we used the Floor Mate to clean our kitchen. It's quicker for me to just vacuum the floors and then mop them the old fashioned way. I wish the Floor Mate would have worked better than advertised. I hate mopping my floors, but for now, it seems to be the best way to get them clean.

No family can be this dysfunctional.
What a great beginning! The story brought me into the small world of a Massachusetts town. The characters were believable and down to earth. Unfortunately, the book did not continue to be either believable or down to earth. I have never read about so many dysfuntional people or situations. There was alcoholism, incest, battering, sex with a 14 year old, low self-esteem, divorce, animal cruelty, small town politics, emotional abuse, and more machinations than anyone should put in one book. I could not relate to many of the main characters by the end of the story, although the daughter was the most interesting. Often the prose would get so flowery and/or detailed that I ended up daydreaming while trying to read. The greatest sadness was that I know this could have been so much better. That faith in the author kept me reading until the end. I do look forward to reading other books by Alice Hoffman, hoping that this one was an anomoly.

One Heat Setting Does Not Fit All Hair Types
My niece brought a Chi Flat Iron from a local department store in Texas. She used it on my hair and I fell in love with it. At the time, my hair felt soft and remained straight for a week/until I washed it. So I decided to buy three for myself, my sister and my daughter. My sister and my daughter stated the iron works perfect for them. They both have course hair. But when I bump my hair slightly, it burns it. I've treated my hair with protein treatments shortly after washing it and thermal treatments shortly before flat ironing it. The flat iron still burns my hair. It would help if it had a heat control mechanism on it. I've since pulled out my old faithful.

Save yourself the aggrivation
Bad Bad product. Waste of $$. Company not helpful in working with U to get it working. Major run around from Customer Service who don't know their product. I bought the second sensor because I couldn't get the one that came with it to work. Customer Service said I would probably need an additional sensor. Stupid me. I fell for it. Still can't get any of the units to work. They keep telling you to take the batteries out and go through this elaborate process to install it. TOTAL waste of time. Don't buy it or any other product from this company. Save yourself the aggrivation.

Bad Power Supply=Useless Product
From my online research, I thought this would be exactly what I needed at a great price. However, it turned out to be a defective product because the supplied little black AC/DC convertor (Made in China) which takes 110 volt AC to 12 volt DC was completely non-functional. It was a little difficult to come to this conclusion because there is no power light on the unit and I do not have a voltmeter. But the hint was there; the adaptor didn't become warm as is usually the case. I borrowed a friend's adaptor and the unit itself works fine. I considered buying another adaptor or returning the whole package. However both these options would have cost me more than what I initially paid for it!! I've decided to just use the pre-amp in an old receiver. I almost wish I could have bought the whole package that TANDY used to carry years ago which utilized a 12 volt battery as a power supply. BEWARE!!!

Piece of garbage
I threw this in the garbage yesterday -- so it was easy to title this review! We got this thermometer because there were no Braun available on Amazon when we were shopping, and boy, I wish we'd waited (it's what others had recommended to us -- we're back now to buy another one).We followed the instructions of the Omron precisely. Put in ear canal. Listen for one beep. Press button. Listen for more beeps. Check temperature. And the temp consistently read crazy low (like, impossibly low for a feverish child). We tried again over the weekend when our 10-month-old was burning up and acting lethargic. Guess what? A reading of 94.6 degrees. Same thing happened with her older sis.And can I please speak to you parents out there directly and tell you that there are few things more frustrating and painful to try to get a temp reading off of a cranky sick baby or child and then have it be so horribly off?Do not waste your time. Garbage, garbage, garbage.

Olfa Cutting Mat
Olfa makes very good, long-lasting cutting mats. This is the fourth I've purchased over the last 20 years . . . not because they wear out (the first one I bought is still just fine) but because I need a mat every place I could possibly want to cut . . . sewing room, of course, kitchen, bedroom, and this new one is for our camper trailer. You can take the girl away from the quilt room, but then the girl just has to take the quilt room with her! I write quilting patterns and make all my own design samples, so the mat(s) are used often. No problems in the last 20 years . . . never had to retire an Olfa mat, but have used up a couple other brands.

A Miniature Masterpiece
If Woody Allen thinks this is his finest film, I'm not surprised. It's flawless. Brilliantly written, brilliantly acted, superbly plotted. Faultless. Daniels and Farrow are perfectly stunning in their parts. Whatever happended to Jeff Daniels? Why is this the only film I've seen him in? He plays this part with the lightest of touches: it's like whipped cream. Farrow is incredible, retaining always the slight reserve of suspicion that things can't be quite what they seem, which just about makes the ending bearable. The real mastery of the writing and direction is that what threatens to be a one-joke plot never topples over and falls flat. The juggling keeps the balls in the air with such delicate skill that the only possible reaction is one of pure admiration.

Stick with Brown's later books
Heard the taped version of Sondra Brown's RILEY IN THEMORNING . . . please be forewarned: this is NOT a currentBrown bestseller; rather, it is from her earlier period as aromance writer . . . the story involves a couple involved inthe production of a popular television program . . . for twopeople supposedly involved in the communications industry,I was amazed at their difficulties in relating to each other . . . also, I found the story quite predictable . . . only a few hot scenes managed to keep my attention . . . even the narration by Alison Fraser wasn't very good . . . she did fine on the male voices . . . however, her female voices were often shrill.

The Cocoa B'z rip the mic again
"The Rude Awakening" was not a disappointment for me because I copped this Cd first than "Dah Shinin'", so it was hella tight for me. But buying "Dah Shinin'" i realized Cocoa B'z sophomore album was not a 5-star classic release. This album has a lot of good joint like "Myah Angelow", "Memorial" with the reggae-king Eek-A-Mouse, "Black trump" with Rae and "Game of life" with FLOW. Telling the truth, I liked all the songs. my fav. is "Back 2 life" with that Mobb Deep sample. It sounds phat! I think this album is aight but not a "Dah Shinin'". But I gotta admit that the Cocoa B'z is one of the realest hip-hop crews around! And that's a fact! Told: 4-star release.

No classic here!
I always say that you're allowed an occasional bad DVD purchase, one that you might really regret after the fact. Well folks, this was it. Clever story? Nope. Quality animation? Seen better in hand-held video games. Do I recommend it? Not a chance. This was absolutely painful to watch. If I could've given it zero stars, I would've. Do not waste your time on this one!

Great CD
I have no idea who these people are. I think they are from a soap opera but I have no clue. I bought this cd becasue I saw that they sold over 100,000 copies and burning up the Billboard Charts. So I pretty much went to the store saw it for 10 bucks and picked it up. Overall I was pleasently surprised. Iwould best compare them to Kabah or OV7. If you like these group you will like this cd. Keep in mind that this is not a cd like the Kabah cd La Vida Que Va. It does not have those fast dance songs on it. Mostly Pop-Rock and Ballads. If you give this cd a listen once or twice you will see it is very enjoyable.

What A Waste!
I don't recomend this movie. And although the acting is very good (the 2 stars), the story is troubleing. Admittedly, I'm a "happy ending" kind of guy, but there was nothing redeeeming about the way this movie ends. Are we to believe that we are no different than pets being put to sleep at the local shelter? Dunn suffers no consequences for his actions in ending Maggie's life nor does the boxer who broke her neck. Maggie's battles accomplished nothing beyond scars, broken bones and in the end, a broken neck. So much time is devoted to Dunn's broken relationship with his daughter, but we never learn why the relationship was estranged. Like another Academy Winner "American Beauty", this DVD went from the player straight to the garbage can. What a waste! I think I will watch Shawshank Redemption again. Now there's a movie!

Confused
I found myself wondering if this film were based on a video game. Lame acting--main character seems to be on drugs. More action than character development. Unrealistic reactions from some characters. For this type of movie, didn't like the flashback style of the beginning. No need to see the first few minutes again.However, most of the movie was better than I expected. This movie received terrible reviews and was only in theaters where I live for a very short time. Didn't expect much, so wasn't disappointed.Except with the ending. Very abrupt and left me going HUH?? Pretty obvious what would eventually happen, but interesting that the creators avoided explicit violence at the very end, unlike throughout the earlier film. I think they were hoping the film would be a hit so they could justify a sequel that would pick up at this point. Probably not, unless it goes straight to video.

Damaged book labeled "new"
Without question the worst seller I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I purchased three books each from a different seller. The first was an older book but was obviously never read or opened. The second was a very new print. This one however was printed the same time as the first but there was a book mark in it, the spine was worn, the back of the book was bent and some of the page corners where folded or dented. Did I mention the moisture damage? So I asked for an actual new one. Turns it was the only book she had. I was told to send the book back in the packages that she sent the book in. Unfortunately the package she sent it in was a plastic bag from Fedex and no other packaging. It could not be resealed and I did not want her to blame me for any of the damage so I had to ship it back myself. I was only refunded my original purchase and was not refunded the return shipping nor has she responded to my last email.

An athletic necessity, poorly made
I need this style sweatpant for my workouts and sports. Russell used to make a quality product. Unfortunately, Russell's quality has plummeted. The drawstrings in their athletic pants now regularly snap, break, and fail, and I have to return many of these and order new ones. And there are no other companies to order them from; Champion's inexpensive models also routinely fail. I do not want to buy the professional models which cost around $45-55-75 dollars. So I am stuck ordering these and returning them when they fail. And they fail often. It wouldn't cost much more to use a higher-quality drawstring, but obviously Russell and Champion have chosen not to do this. The fabric on these pants is fine; the drawstrings are just terrible. Forewarned is forarmed.

Very Disappointed
I almost bought this camera as a gift. It LOOKS great, but LOOKS really can be deceiving! The picture quality is TERRIBLE! It is incredibly grainy video. The picture has speckles all over it. I'm thankful I didn't waste the money. I was able to see the picture on a monitor in 3-different stores. Then I asked to see some other cameras in the same price range using the SAME monitor -- what a difference. The Sony DcrTRV-33 and even the DcrTRV-22 had beautiful pictures. Even the Panasonic in its class looked much better. My advice... take a look at the Sony, and ask to see the picture on a monitor, if the store doesn't have one, go to another store that does. Otherwise, prepare to kick yourself because you won't like what you see when you get it home. Good Luck all--

SELF-SERVING POMPOSITY
Question: Who CARES what David Brock thinks? After claiming he lied in writing other books and articles, he has zero credibility now. He desperate need to purge himself of his past journalistic "sins" just so happened to coincide with a book contract? Amazing. And as far as I could tell, Brock spends a good deal of time bemoaning the politics of personal destruction, only to trash people who were once his closest friends--personally. David is smearing the right with the same vengeance that he smeared the left years ago. How is it relevant to his change of heart that Matt Drudge is of unclear sexuality? Or that Ann Coulter likes to smoke? Or that Laura Ingraham was once drunk with him in a gay bar? Answer: It isn't. A narcissistic screed by a man in love with no ideology or philosophy except "Me, me, me!" Obscene.

LOVE IT!
As a beginner, I thought this stuff was hoki poki. This book made me see the light. I love this book, with all the pictures, the simple and clear writing on the effects, attributes, healing properties, etc. I use the book all the time. Its fun to read. I use it to help me pick out gift stone/gems for people in my life. My jeweler loves her copy. This is a fun and enjoyable book. I didn't really give the stones that much attention till I started with Reiki. I'm so satisfied with this book that it really is my crystal bible. I don't feel the need to purchase other books on the subject. It covers everything I feel I needed to know.

The Biggest Battle Of Them All !!!!
Godzilla emerges from an iceberg and begins a reign of terror on Tokyo. For a publicity stunt, a businessman sends two of his employees to a Faro Island. There, an octopus attacks the unsuspecting native village. King Kong appears to battle the octopus and emerges victorious! Getting drunk on berry juice, Kong is taken to Japan to battle Godzilla. Godzilla almost roasts Kong with his heat ray. An electric blockade is put up to stop Godzilla. Instead, Kong appears and for some reason draws strength from the electricity. Now, Kong is taken to MT. Fuji to fight Godzilla in the most memorable fight of all time!! The only problem with this film is that it is as if Godzilla has never been seen before; a lost dinosaur is what they call him. So it may confuse you a bit. Still, the fighting is great and so is the plot.

DeBoles Spaghetti !
In years past the product was quite satisfactory. BUT in my quarterly shipment in November 2012 the spaghetti was a different color. It looked old and encrusted with old flour. It cooked up into a mush. I have used this product for years and this is the first time this has happened. Amazon would not reimburse me for the product. I contacted DeBoles in Colorado and they sent me 12 coupons. The same amount I had ordered from Amazon. I used 2 of the coupons at Akins, a health Food Store, and the product was the same as the product from Amazon. Today I used the remaining coupons for different products. I've tried to cancel my quarterly shipment from Amazon but can't reach anybody to help me. The coupons did not cover the cost of the product so basically I paid a hefty price for the spaghetti.

Basically not possible
Has some good nutritional information. Phase one recommends a fortune in dozens of supplements. I am not willing to ingest that much of the unkown into my body. Phase II is not feasible. There is no way I could get the HCG RX nor could I travel out of the country to get it. The FDA does not recommend it for weight loss, therefore I would be unwilling to take the injections. Even if I did, I cannot give myself an injection into the gluteus maximus unless I am made of rubber.I can see why The author talks about kings, princes, celebraties and socialites getting great benefit from the injections as they probably are the few who could afford it. There are healthier and more inexpensive ways to manage weight. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I is overhyped and misleading. I would ask for my money back, but I'm sure it would not be forthcoming.

You get what you pay for
The first cartridge I recd. arrived broken w ink leaking inside the packaging. It was inadequet for the item shipped. The item was replaced by the vendor w/o any problems and arrived intact. (same packaging,lucky). Initially, the cartridge worked well. But when not used for a time (3-4 days) the print quality deteriorated dramatically. My office is cold (65 F) so I warmed up the cartridge thinking it would improve the print quality. It did. However, over time (2 wks.) this "fix" didn't work anymore. I suspect the cartridge would work well in a warm office where the printer was used daily.OBTW, the "print head clean" function does not work with the cartridge. In fact, executing it, locks up the computer and requires task mgr. to restore control.I guess I'll be looking for another vendor. Any recommendations?

No frills regular waffle maker that WORKS
I wanted just a plain ole waffle maker-not a Belgian waffle maker- JUST a waffle maker. This works great for me. No bells or whistles with this unit- red light means it's baking, green light means it's done. Simple. It makes (1) round waffle. If you need to feed a crowd at once, this probably is NOT what you want. I went by the manufacturer's recommendation of using the #3 setting and I also made the whole wheat waffle recipe that came with the maker. They turned out great. Made that recipe 3x's already. I make them and then freeze them for later. One note about the whole wheat waffle recipe-instead of using ground nuts- I used wheat germ. YUM

This disc is like these reviews, you've heard it all before.
Every single track on this album, bar two, are old stuff that nobody should really want to listen to now. The only actual "good" songs on here are:Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan - Silence (DJ Tiesto Remix)This one was the biggest trance track of 1999. *1999*! It's good, but it's old...dance music is about the NEW!Slyder - ScoreI first heard of this in Grand Theft Auto 3...and I've been searching for the vinyl everywhere. This is one of those tracks that could easily fit among a bunch of more toned down tracks.A mix full of anthems doesn't work. A mix of 15 or so songs with 2 or 3 anthems works much better. Not to mention the fact that one reviewer mentioned "WOW! up to 10, even 15 second mixes!" and that made me laugh. Personally, I mix for 2 or 3 minutes per song... Makes me sick. Go buy some Global Underground.

FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC!
I can not begin to tell you how wonderful this cd is! What a treasure! How fabulous to have a TOTALLY new and fresh voice in music...she has a sound unlike anyone else, and it's almost impossible to describe her voice. Is it high? Is it low? Is it feminine? Is it masculine? YES! It's all of the above and more. I Try is an amazing song. *blabbering* ...I...I ...I just can't say enough about this...try it, you'll LOVE it!

Great Mount for Visibility and Theft-Protection
I love this mount and have been using it for several months now. It never slides around and it is nice to be able to position the GPS where ever I want with ease. You can't do that with the suction cup mounts! When I park my car, I can move the entire thing - GPS, arm and bean bag - and put it on the floor of the passenger side. I cover mine with a hand towel that matches the color of my car's carpeting. It takes just a few seconds to do, and I beleive provides a good, quick solution to making my GPS less visible/desireable to steal. I took away one star because the GPS sometimes detaches from the arm/base when I pick it up holding the GPS. This only happens when I pick it up fast. This is not a big deal, but it would be better if it had some kind of button to push to detach it. Overall, I highly recommend this mount! I bought one for my mom and my husband and they love it too!!

Don't insult my intelligence
I gave this movie 2 stars because I watched it all the way to the end. I did not like this movie and would not recommend it. I like dancing. But I don't see masturbating against a car engine as dancing. The "dancing" in this movie is all sexually suggestive/explicit. The director, producers, and choreographers came up with the idea to put hormone crazed teens and 20-somethings in a movie where they gyrate, rub their bodies against another's, then label it dancing. The protagonist was full of ego and machismo. If I'm not mistaken, Rico (the lead character) had sex with an underaged friend of his sister's. Then "dissed" her in the next scene. In reality, I think he'd be accused today of statuatory rape. I did not like the message this movie was sending to young people.

I really *want* to like this DVD
I really like the idea of this DVD. Teaches a basic concept - colors, in a format that won't overstimulate.Each color is introduced, one at at time, and the only words spoken are those colors. For example, the fuzzy yellow thing comes on and you hear "yellow, yellow . . . yellow, yellow, yellow . . . yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow . . . yellow, yellow." Repeat with blue, black, white, green, etc. It eventually robs you of your will to live.This is a great movie to borrow from the public library, or your friend. Just don't buy it, because you can't watch it more than a handful of times.

Gorgeous, Stunning
It's difficult to believe that this album came out in 2006 and, in the time since, nobody's heard of this album. There are 171 hits for "Glennfrench" on Google. I've run the search a half dozen times in the past week, convinced that there must be some mistake. Who IS this band?Beginner's Luck is a magnificent work. Fully half of this album is staggeringly, classically good. "No Mystery To Me," "Never Be True" and "To You" are three shining examples of the author's talent. But above all three is "Almost Home (Sinner's Hymn)," a rich, gorgeous work that would never have been permitted by a record label. Mr. French (Mr. Glennfrench?) employs a playful mixture of ukulele, theramin and fiddle, like little that I've heard before.I'm not sure I've ever written an Amazon review before. I've never been moved to do so. But I can't hold back here. Glennfrench has pulled off a major coup with Beginner's Luck.

From J. Kaye's Book Blog
I couldn't get into the characters of this story. I didn't like Meg. And well, it's hard to get into the story after finding that out. Clint was fine, better than fine, in fact. But that Meg...On the first page, when it refers to Meg watching Captain Kangaroo at a tender age, I wondered how old she was? Also, the story itself was a bit lame. The characters were very well developed and the ending was as good as it was going to get considering my feelings about Meg.Another thing, and maybe the second most important is after reading the word "yummy", it all went downhill for me. This word has been popping up everywhere. It's gotten to the point, if I read the word "yummy" again I'm going to have to go back to watching television. To be fair though, this book was written a few years back. Still, that word - ugh!

One of Willie's best efforts. Simply amazing!
Willie Nelson's records have so much meaning to them. Even his compilations have meaning. I rarely see a bad Willie collection. But, his record 'Phases and Stages' is probably one of the best.Released on Atlantic way back in 1974, the record evolves around Willie's crumbling marriage. There is something about this record that just is really charming. I don't know what it is, but it's one of my favorites.I like the opening song, 'Washing The Dishes' a whole lot. It's got powerful country vocals as only Willie can sing.The real highlight for me is either 'Bloody Mary Morning' or 'No Love Around.' This is sort of the pre-'Red Headed Stranger' record. This and 'Shotgun Willie' were among the few releases he made for the Atlantic label. He swapped labels a year later and cut 'Red Headed Stranger' that same year, 1975.This will take you back awhile. It's like a trip down memory lane. Highly recommended. Truly one of his best records.

A Surprisingly Effective Movie
I didn't expect much from Transformers. That's not to say I had no expectations. I hoped for a film faithful to its sources and action packed. I got something quite different. It wasn't as action packed as I thought, but that worked out prefectly. It works. The story is quite nice, and even though some parts and characters are superfluous, it's an enjoyable film.Shia LaBouef has fun with this role. The whole cast seem to actually be enjoying their time, but Shia definitely rises above the source material. Josh Duhamel also helps tone down the action movie cliches. Although he's pretty mucha walking cliche, he helps keep a base of reality in the feature.THe DVD set is outstanding. A commentary from Micheal Bay and plenty of featurettes on this two disc to keep you interested, especially for hardcore fans.Though it has many missteps, and some implausibilty, Transformers is one of the better blockbusters in recent years. Recommended.

Not what I expected
In one word, I would describe this album as just OK. I was expecting more since "Lose My Breath" was so catchy and upbeat. I'll admit that some of the songs are catchy, but honestly, none of them really stand out. The only songs that really catch my attention are the first single and "Through With Love." If they're smart, "Through With Love" will be the next single. Unfortunately, I've been hearing that "Cater 2 U" will be released. Why? Anyway, I'd suggest getting a burned copy of this one. I bought mine on sale. I guess that's a good thing. By the way, did anyone get the release with the bonus tracks? I bought my copy at Target and did NOT get the bonus CD. Now I'm stuck with extra track listings (on the sleeve) for a CD I don't have. Go figure.

Great Graphics That Fall To The WaySide
To start of with this game has some pretty great graphics, but it stops there. The storyline is interesting but the CGI interruptions are very numerous and take up at least a 1/4 of the story. And to top this all of the story barely lasts over an hour. Squaresoft makes some phenomenal games just look at the Final Fantasy franchise, but this is not anywhere near what I expect of them. If I wanted a fighting game i would get something like Tekken or Bloody Roar. If u like realistic fighting games and fighting/tornament games this is for u. However do not let the promise of a good story game or the Squaresoft label fool u, a Final Fantasy this is most definitely not. To give what positive review I care to, in the whole fighting/tournament genre this is definitely one of the better ones. The fighters look very realistic and the moves do as well. However the premise to this game was the story and boy did it choke!!!!!!!

Loved the manga, but VERY DISAPPOINTED with the movie
Hey. What can I say? It just plain [stinks]. First of all, I love the manga series to death. It was one of my favorites that I was really looking forward to the movie. But when I saw it, MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. Yes, it had a lot of action and blood and magic. I'm never queasy about any of those things. But it's also confusing, probably even more so if you have never even read the manga. You can't start to "care for" the characters because the chemistry just isn't there. I guess its one of those love it or hate em movies. But I hated it. And where's the plot? Sorry CLAMP, I love you girls, but this just plain BITES. Go watch Card Captor Sakura or something.

Hmm...
I bought this album when it first came out. There was all this hype surrounding him that he was the future of R&B. Well... I was rather unimpressed by this CD and stored it away after one listen. There's nothing new here. Songs about love making, blah, blah, blah. There's even a song about a girl's... behind, cleverly titled "Ur Behind." (Me being the innocent person I am, I actually thought that it was going to be about something different, like someone being behind in a relationship. You know, something with substance. Silly me.) His vocals are nothing special and aren't distinctive. The songs are bland. This is the same stereotypical male R&B that the music industry have been feeding us since the early 90s. An R. Kelly clone. If I may suggest someone, Anthony Hamilton is the way to go if you want something soulful and great. Skip this.

What A Wonderful World It Is
The Chronicles of Narnia - the audios were really quite good. They are each done by different actors. Kenneth Branagh, who I know from Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets, did well with the story telling of the first book "The Magician's Nephew". All the other actors were wonderful as well. But the best, to me, was Patrick Stewart, in "The Last Battle". What a performance. He caught my attention. So very dramatic, very passionate and funny! Overall, I enjoyed it. And to me, it's almost up there with Harry Potter's audio, and Lord of the Rings audio with Ian Holmes, playing the role of Frodo. If you want to buy it go for it!

New printer
I purchased this printer because I had a HP3210 all-in-one prior. The ink cost on the HP was crazy!!! I didn't want to have to take out a loan from the bank just to refill ink cartridges! The New printer was easy to install (use the cd it was very helpful). I had it up and running in about an hour. Please keep in mind I've only had this printer for about two weeks. When I first ran it, it printer fine until it got to the very last sheet of paper. That when it "jammed" up, it gave me the warning that it jammed and what to do. I cleared the jam and reloaded it with more paper and it been running fine. I did not hook up the fax yet but probably will at a later date. But for print quality I'm happy with it so far! Hope this review help you in making up your mind as to which one to choose!.Also the ink cartridges are MUCH CHEAPER THAN HP's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good LuckBruce

Adds lots of distortion; unworthy of the MXR name
I have several MXR pedals. Every one is superb--except for this PHASE 90 (the non-"script" version reviewed here). This PHASE 90 is worthless for anyone who wants to use it while playing clean, for it adds a tsunami of irritating distortion, a swoosh of sonic dirt. I did some research and discovered that other people who also hate this pedal's distortion suggest some modifications. (Look up "MXR Phase 90 Mods," and "Erik's Corner" will show you how.) I made the "R28," "C11," and "C12" modifications. The result: a slightly improved phaser, one that still churned out plenty of distortion. Finally, I tried adjusting the internal trim pot. On no setting could I get rid of ... you guessed it: distortion. I spent literally hours in a futile and frustrating effort to make this pedal sound merely acceptable. No luck. BOTTOM LINE: IF YOU WANT A PHASER THAT DOESN'T ADD SIGNIFICANT DISTORTION, AVOID THIS INCARNATION OF THE PHASE 90.

Completely terrible
I picked up this dvd and was so excited. I thought if I already now the song than learning the signs will be easy and this way I can learn more in a fun way. Boy was I wrong. The oversimplify the songs so that for each song they only sign 2-4 words. For example, for bah bah black sheep she used sheep and one more sign. That was it. Nothing else. How is that helpful?I really don't understand what the purpose of this dvd is. None of the signs were explained, none of the songs had more than 4 signs in them. The songs weren't even presented in an entertaining enough way for a child to want to watch. Who is this dvd for?I was so disappointed in this dvd. I was expecting so much more than two signs for a song. I don't understand what this is supposed to teach you.If you are really trying to learn ASL to use with your child then watch signing time. They may not use songs you are familiar with but at least you learn something. And my daughter really enjoys those dvds.

"Me too" book
This is not a good book at all. I have no problem with the basic message that we can learn from history. What I do not like is the style of the book. The writing style is disconnected. Some facts are given and then the author says "This shows that..." or "So...". I never follow these jumps in the author's logic. My personal view is that the author is very sloppy. The author also likes to prove things spending a page or two referring to another author. It is fine to quote other people but the author must have a voice as well. Finally the author is a bit sloppy with minor facts. They are never referenced and and sometimes totally wrong - overstatements to strenthen the author's point of view. Overall a very big disappointment.

Darksaber is one of Anderson's Best
Let me just start by saying that I hate what Kevin Anderson brings to the Star Wars Universe. I read all of these clips and reviews that praise him and place him just behind Zahn as the master of the Star Wars universe. These reviews must be because of the quantity of novels he has written not the quality. Stackpole, Allston, and Perry are much better than Anderson. If you want to read the Jedi Academy Trilogy the way it should ahve been told, read Stackpole's I,Jedi. Whole story, one book instead of three. Anyway, after all of this whining about Anderson, this was a very good Star Wars book. This is, by far, the best Anderson book I have read. The plot is good and the storyline progresses rapidly. It really is a page turner. Maybe Anderson is at his best when he is not writing a series or trilogy.

How the hell did they get a record deal?
I know some people would base that on image, but its been done so many times before ever since that dumbf**k Pisstina Auguilera appeared. But this makes Christina look like Janis Jopplin. This is so Godawful I would take even Feminem over this (note that Feminem is #1 on my list of people who I want to die). I heard the song "Don't Cha" while flipping through the channels trying to get to Comedy Central (the only good basic cable channel) and I felt like sticking my head in a bear trap. Why? Because the sound of my own death would be much more enjoyable then listening to five seconds of this...this, I dont know. Anyone who calls this music needs to stop and actually realize what they're listening to. And Busta Rhymes? He was good when he was yelling "woohaw!" in the ninties, but now he's just a crappy has been. So seriously, how the hell did these people get a record deal? I have yet to find a halfway decent answer...

What is wrong with you people?????
Avril Lavigne has a great voice. It was that combined with the radio version of Complicated that got me to buy this album, and God do I wish I had bought the single. Her friends on the instruments are basically terrible. The songs themselves make it well known that Avril idealizes Alanis (and I actually like Alanis quite a bit) since she constantly tries to sing in Alanis's style. The band and the style are a big mistake, hunny. Get some good musicians and sing your own way cause your voice is awesome. as far as the lyrics go, are you all fourteen? I can't believe how so many of you who reviewed this album said you could identify with her songs. I'll admit I like Complicated, but even with that song, only the radio remix (which improves on the instrumental ten fold) is worth listening to. When she looses the band and grows up a little she'll be awesome, but this album sucks. If you want to hear Complicated buy the single cause this album will only disappoint.

This fantastic juicer actually saves me money!!
After using lesser juicers for a couple of years (you can see my reviews of them on amazon) I saw this machine at a store and bought it from amazon. I've been blown away! The best juicer ever. So powerful! Oranges come out bone-dry, every drop of juice goes into the glass. I squeeze fresh orange juice every morning, and I am sure I am saving at least $1 a day because this machine is so much more efficient than all my previous ones. I buy fewer oranges to get the same couple of glasses of juice. At this rate, the machine will pay for itself 100% in 4-5 months. The unit is sturdy, good-looking, quiet, easy to wash. A fantastic piece of home technology!PS - here we are, two years later, and I am still using this machine every day. It is a simple and effective piece of technology. Several friends have bought identical units after seeing me use mine - and they all love it. I wish all gadgets worked as well as this one!

Sharp Electronic Dictionary - PW-E550 - excellent product
I am quite happy with the Sharp Electronic Dictionary. The various features allow me to use the E.D. for many different tasks. The keypad is so easy to use,the keys are large enough to type quickly. When working on a project it is easy to change from using the different features by just pressing one key. The case is strong. Just close the cover and you can easily put it in your bookbag, briefcase or pocket. I like that you don't have to have a different case to protect it. It is all in one. It would be an excellent choice for a child in school. It is so easy to use that a they could learn the features in a matter of minutes. I give this product 4 stars!

Quiet and does the job!
Don't understand the low reviews on this one. It is a very quiet fan. Of course, it's not totally silent, but I have it in my office underneath my desk. I have no problem talking on the phone or with my coworkers. So when I start having hot flashes, I turn it on, and it does the job. Never had to go above the first setting, yet. (Got it because I share a thermostat with my boss, she is cold natured and only has one vent in her office. I have two vents four time the size of her's in my office, which is the same size as her's. The building we are in was built in 1965. I keep the thermostat set on 75 most of the time, but it could be 80 in my office and 65 in her's.) So, the fan has turned out to be a lifesaver for me. The cost was a plus too. I would recommend this fan to anyone who is looking for a quick fix in trying to stay cool in a room/office, which is just too warm.

I don't think Mr. Franzen has to worry...
...about being too much of a commercial success. I'm not interested in even picking up another of his books, let alone purchasing it. I have never in my life read anything so self-consciously literary and affected. The characters are not good, and the events so far from real life that I find it difficult to believe Mr. Franzen actually lives on this planet. Also, what is with the frequent use of just a letter and a blank line (D______ etc.) to denote colleges, rivers, and so forth? Yes, I know that Edgar Allan Poe and his contemporaries were fond of this conceit, but really! It just serves to pull the reader out of the (admittedly uncompelling) story line. Either you're trying to make up a plausible name to use when he does this, or you'rethinking, "Good grief; that's really annoying." Plus there's his brilliant use of the word "corrections" over and over again. Wow.

A War Driver's Dream Come True!
I've had the worst time with the people on tech support for this product. First off, they admitted that their MAC filtering doesn't actually filter any MACs. It's a free-for-all. Their "fix" was to enable encryption. Ok. Thanks. I just paid for a feature that doesn't work. They said they are working on new firmware to fix that, but shouldn't they have tested something that serious before hand?I had encryption working for a while, but I disabled it once and couldn't get it going again. Their first level tech support reps have bad accents and don't grasp concepts very well.If you want a wireless router that will work right out of the box, this is for you. But if you care at all about the security of your information, look elsewhere. I'm one unhappy customer.

What's taters, precious?
Oh, my. I cannot believe how much better this was than the theatrical release. Even that was nearly perfect. Now, I'd say this is the perfect movie. Extended and new scenes added so much to the film, and they were placed in perfectly. I'm very glad the Faramir scenes were added. Definitely fixed it a lot. Everything about this movie is great. I haven't watched the appendices yet, but I did find Smeagol/Gollum's MTV award. It was hilarious. Watch it. NOW!!!Just 2.5 weeks til Return of the King!

Perfect for Young Kids AND Adults too!! ;-)
This pool is extremely easy to set up and the perfect size for a young child just getting comfortable in the water. We have a 5 year old and the kiddie pool was getting old. Once he started wanting daddy in with him, we knew we needed something else! ;-) This pool is PERFECT!! It's 2.5' deep so he can stand up whenever he needs to but yet deep enough for him to totally submerge and practice swimming. It's also big enough that ALL of us can get in with him (mom, dad and big bro). Sure it's a bit crowed when we are all in but it's still big enough that we aren't touching or on top of one another. Even my wife's inflatible pool lounger fits inside it!! We upgraded the pump to the Deluxe Saltwater System by Intex as I have heard the basic pump is not so great and does nothing to prevent algae and other nasty things from growing. If you upgrade to that system, this pool is AWESOME for a small yard (like ours)!!

More about love
The title is a misnomer. It has nothing to do with `original sin' - a Christian concept that contorts the thoughts of many. Instead, this is a film about love, in many guises. It is also a visually sumptuous film, with some richly textured scenes. Ensure to select the unrated version. Her first words evoke the extremes of love; "the power to heal, the power to destroy". This is how the film proceeds. It is about deception. At one point the central male character is discussing love and lust with his best friend. "What's the difference" he asks. "Love is giving; lust is taking" comes the concise answer. Ultimately and to cite another piece of dialogue; "it's about those who give into love and the price they pay". This reviewer has recently had to pay...Ian Hunter.Author of `e-Love'.

schizophrenic masterpiece
This album is really quite challenging and brilliant . It's not as messy as royal trux stuff. Yet, much more well rounded than some of his earlier solo stuff.He's genius. This thing is so good. And i'm happy that neil's coming through so strong. It's long enough to be two albums. A little editing would have made this a classic in the way that bonnie prince billy's "i see a darkness" is a classic of 10 or 11 songs. Yet, it's all in there. And then some. Even some tortoise crossed with NMH. And also, i should mention, that neil now has a new hairdo. real tight.

sound good BUT Falsely advertised!!!
I had 4 of these speakers powered by a 1000 watt amp so they were very underpowered. But still two of them blew after just 4 months. These speakers put out loud decent sound considering how cheap they are. expected them to last a bit longer but thats not the reason for the poor review. I was tinkering around with the blown speakers I noticed two of the tweeters didn't have any wires running to them. turns out two of the tiny half inch size tweeters are fake. All 4 of my speakers were the same way. That makes them 6-way speakers not eight-way like advertised in the title. Looks like PYLE purposefully took a short cut in production then lied about it. Would you consider that false advertising?? I know I do...

For Die-Hard Jet Li fans only
AKA Shaolin Temple 3, this movie is a decent display of Jet Li's kung fu prowess. If the version being offered is by Telefilms International / Beverly Wilshire Filmworks - buyer beware! The film is NOT widescreen (as it says it is), and the subtitles are cut off by the formatting. If you are a Jet Li fan like me, you will enjoy the action sequences, though they are sparse. Creative stances and good moves from Jet save them. I recommend this film to die-hard Jet fans ONLY - kung fu purists will be very disappointed. Jet Li picks up his role as the orphan raised by Shaolin, his sifu from the previous two films returns as well. If you like Jet, and like the series, go for it. Not Jet's best, not his worst, either. Picture and sound quality is poor. Directed by Lau Ka-leung.

The closest you will ever get to Pink Floyd
No matter what anyone else says, to downplay the fact that these guys sound like Floyd is to ignore the obvious. To be specific the David Gilmour era - TDB and TDSOT. There is also a heavy Beatle influence on a few songs. To me, that is a good thing! With that said they aren't clones, they do have their own sound. The songs are very smooth and the cd is very well produced and polished. Too bad that they will never get airplay in the US market. This is also available as an SACD hybrid in both stereo and 5.1 surround. If you have a system capable of playing sacd in 5.1 then I suggest you search it out. The first time that slide guitar comes through the center speaker (about a minute into the first song) you will be glad you did. If you like melodic rock with a very heavy Floyd influence then you need to check this out.

Cheaper Ingredients, Lowered Quality
I was extremely disappionted when I opened my shipment of Enjoy Life On The Go Bars (Very Berry, Carmel Apple, and Cocoa Loco). The boxes are now a plain, generic design..you know, the kind all brands change to when they want to make their products look cheaper. I then compared the ingredients of the new shipment with the older boxes I still had at home. Guess what?! Cheaper ingredients! Next, I taste-tested, and let my 3 year old help. He wouldn't eat the new ones...and I can't blame him. They are oily and bland. I thought Enjoy Life was a brand that actually cared about using quality ingredients to make a good-tasting product. I was wrong. In summary, these are way too expensive to be made with low-quality, unpalatable ingredients.

The Queen of hearts returns with the most impressive collection of songs. I rushed out to get this as soon as it was released. As usual Juice produced a great cd. Every song is wonderful. She wraps her beautiful thick rich voice around these well crafted songs. Personal favorite is "They never Made it to Memphis". I highly recommend this cd. Radio would be smart to put this one on their playlist. Juice is simply the most amazing female singer in the country/pop genre. Before there was ever Faith Hill or Shania Twain, there was Juice Newton. And quite frankly she is much better than either of the mentioned artists. Do yourself a favor and buy this one. You will not be sorry. Enjoy. Scott Cody ( Gastonia, North Carolina).

Needs Updating
Not a very good textbook. Out of date material. Several passages in the book refer to predictions in 2010 which does not make for interesting reading in 2012. The real-world illustrations are somewhat helpful. There is no useful index. Order it on Kindle if you can so you can search for material. You won't miss anything in the Kindle version because the book is black and white which makes for a boring read compared to colorful textbooks filled with illustrations, pictures, charts, graphs, and case studies. Most of the illustrations are merely filler and serve no useful purpose. This book needs a major overhaul. Universities can surely find better textbooks to use. One of the most boring textbooks I have read.
