Really cool - to help you live longer
I got this book ONLY to read the research. Often it is true, that the truth, is not logical. ... or at least counter-intuitive. I ignored all the social ramblings. This book is WELL RESEARCHED. It seems status DOES predict life expectancy! Very interesting research and conclusions. Definitely motivating.... I'll live longer if I get my PhD.More control/autonomy in one's live = more life. Who knew!Great book! Worth the read - or even a skim.

is she singing? or whispering? this is CRAP
This CD is crap. Britney doesn't sing, because she can't. All she does is whisper, moan, and do those orgasmic sounds she's really good at. They try to drown out her voice with all these loud, generic beats and do computer effects to her voice. The production is horrible. Britney is just copying other people because she has no talent of her own. I swear this CD sounds exactly like her last one, and the one before that. She is not a real singer. Mandy Moore is so much better. Everyone, go get 'Coverage'. That's real music. Let Britney lipsync and strip all she wants, that's all she's good at. Don't buy this crap CD.

Disheartening, bitter, mediocre, narrative
Michael and Eve have been living together and now they're engaged due to Eve's ultimatum. Eve is 36 years old and has never been married. Michael has been married before and has a daughter Phoebe. He is reluctant to make a commitment despite Eve's best efforts. Every action and behavior has a motive for Eve regarding Michael. Now that she's got a ring; as she says "just add diamonds, instant-shrew". Every time they have an argument she's quick to take off her ring. Too much is made of her subscription to Bride magazine. I had a hard time finding any empathy for Eve. You hardly hear or see Michael. It had its moments but overall I was not impressed.

amazing for 2+ years then destroyed nearly ALL our diapers
Until yesterday I would have given this product 5 stars. We've used it for 2 3/4 years without issue. Then yesterday I found all but 7 of my diapers and 3/4 of my cloth wipes shredded to bits in our washing machine. Turns out this pail has 2 small metal pin that are used to keep the lid on. One pin must have fallen out and into the diaper pail liner (a very durable thirsies brand which was also destroyed). So after running the wash cycle (we have a front loading machine with a high spin setting) we found our diapers completely shredded. In addition to the mess it made (took my husband hours to clean it all out of the various parts of the washer) we were left with 7 of 24 diapers. Very disappointing.If you do get this product, you may want to tape over the pins just to be safe. In all other respects it delivered what is said it would do. But I never expected it to destroy our diapers. That outweighs all the good IMO.

Could it get any worse?
Wow, take a program that had some decent features and screw it up. If you don't compress and reindex MINIMUM once a day this thing actually loses info as you type it in! We have close to 7,000 contacts. I called regarding the losing of info and was advised "the program wasn't designed for holding that many contacts". Hello! It's a contact database! If this isn't designed for holding thousands of contacts what are they doing selling it as a contact database? We use it because we must as we use ACT on a daily basis and can't go without it at all. We put all our (abbreviated) conversations in the notes section so it's vital to our business. But, if another product comes along that will make the transition smooth, fast and easy we'll go for it. Or if those ever-changing software manufacturers of ACT get it together and make a version that can actually hold and KEEP info we'll go with that but so far that hasn't happened. My recommendation? Use Outlook.

General Books Problem...Not the book
I ordered this for my daughters birthday and Amazon delivered right on her birthday. My daughter is a huge Oscar Wilde fan! Unfortunately, the book was full of garbage text. It was printed by General Books the day I ordered it. I then requested a replacement. Once again, it was printed the day I made my request and it contained the exact garbage text that the original order contained. Here is an example of the garbage text that this book contained...(Jk*he$. HeL*) This was all throughout the book. Then half the book looked like some bizarre glossary that didn't even belong to this book. The entire book was worthless both times and I requested a refund. I can't give a proper review on the book as it was unreadable!

Hello, Everybody!
The Sanrio phenomenon shows no sign of slacking. Hello Kitty is perhaps the most well-known character from this Japanese company, and her sweet, appealing face draws more than little children. I know a certain college student who is dying for this calendar--as are several of her friends.For small children, the color cues (Hello, Gold!), different for each month, are wonderful learning aids. For older children, Hello Kitty's different and delightful outfits will be sure to please. For college kids--who knows? The calendar is a dorm-room phenomenon. The only slight criticism I have is that Hello Kitty looks exactly the same month after month, other than her clothes. But then our pal doesn't have a lot of expressions at the best of times. I say, go for it. This is a fun calendar for just about anybody.

A thouroughly digusting book
This book is one of the worst books I have ever read. I picked it up b/c i'm really interested in pirate stories and now i'm sorry i did. It is about a woman,Bettina, who is captured by pirates and is continually raped by the captain. Since when has rape become an accepted fact in society? I found nothing arousing about Tritan forcing his unwanted, disgusting attentions on Bettina. And I will thank the heavens that i don't have a mother like hers who tells Bettina that she should "go along with Tristan and not hate him. He's doing what's best for her." I find rape digusting and this book is an insult to any good literature. It's like a slap in the face to any woman who has ever been raped. I will never ever read another book by Johanna Lindsay. This woman needs help. I give this book 1 star only b/c I finished it. So please, don't waste your time and money.

Zeppelin's best.
No, it's not because of "Stairway", it's because of the whole album. Each song has it's own life and is so complex, you know that they took their time with each song. Jon Bonham proves to create new ideas, with the unbeliveable drumming sound on "When The Levee Breaks." To me, that's their Stairway. Rock n' Roll and Black Dog are amazing too. Very good bluesy stuff. Battle Of Evermore is a really good folish song. It influnced a lot of power metal, but this is the starter. Stairway to Heavenn, however good it may be, is overrated. It's great, but not their best. Oh well, get this great album. You won't be sorry.

Wake Up People!!!!
I sit back in awe of so many things and watch how the Bible, God speaking through men to deliver a message to mankind is mocked and laughed at but this trash gets rave reviews. God tells us of our creation, where we went wrong and our redemption. Our Creator the One True God, and this no longer works for people. What is it people need to know from alien? Pray tell me? We were created to worship God and seek His counsel not aliens or those who claim to channel them which are evil spirits because they lead you away from God or at best to another god.We now have people such as Barbara who claim to channel aliens? Creaturesthat she is not even sure she is dealing with and people flock by the hordes. Do you know why? It is shameless in its message that man can do no wrong. Look in the world today....People are becoming hateful. You need to put your trust in Jesus because this world will pass away. But who am I, just a fanatic for loving God.

Historical Toy! Save it, it is Collectible!
I lucked out and my 'used' doll in the box had 3 actual signatures of real USMC Navajo Code talkers.There is so much history about this item it is hard to say where to begin. First it is a durable GI JOE full size figure. Second it is a limited edition collectors edition. Third it says words in English and Navajo. It is older and I had to replace the batteries. (came out in the 1999). The Navajo code talkers put together a code to confuse the Japanese and it was NEVER broken.More of the history is being displayed at the Phoenix Heard Museum starting in November 2012. Check out the movie Windtalkers and read about this history. There are still living code talkers around and many documentaries. So I am not EVEN trying to write a history. I am just saying get this doll.

BIG WASTE OF TIME
First, this book mentions nothing about how to wake up to your life's purpose. I spent weeks getting through the audiobook version so I do not know how anyone actually read this nonsense. His voice is so monotone, his accent is annoying and he never has any inflection. It was as if he was reading instructions for installing a piece of machinery. I painfully got through his drivel hoping there would be some moment of sense or that "A Ha!" moment from a profound statement but it just is not there. He spends 9 chapters talking about the ego, none of it based on fact or experience. Finally he mentions something practical of how a person can help themselves with this knowledge but that is all is was...a mention, and back to the mindless droning. There are tons of better New Age self help books that are shorter and more insightful than this nonsensical rambling. This might be better categorized under psychosis training than self-help. You have been warned!

A Good Buy For The Price.
First let me preface this by saying I am a single guy and I do not live in a Martha Stewart house. I needed a couple of sheet sets and these were a good price. When I opened the package and looked at this color, (Cafe), I thought it looked like a set of sheets from a house of ill repute. Brassy would be a compliment. They are stiff. If you don't like stiff sheets then look elsewhere. Once I slept on them I liked the feel of them and I cannot explain why. I am thinking that they will wear well and likely get softer after repeated washings. A bit stiff but certainly the color is the part you need to get over. They work just fine for me. I would buy them again and I did not have to go to a mall to buy them.

OMG
This is the WORST movie I have ever seen! I was in physical pain sitting in the theatre watching this horrible, horrible piece of celluloid. It was painful, painful, painful. The acting was terrible, the dialogue was incomprehensible, the direction was ambiguous. There was really no redeeming quality in this movie. I sat in the theatre wondering how such a disaster had been made, how such respected actors had gotten tangled up in such a mess. In between holding our heads in pain, my friends and I would ask out loud in the theatre, "what? what is GOING ON?" I just really can't stress enough how bad this movie is. It is HORRIBLE. I would only recommed this movie to people who are in need of masochistic indulgence.If I could give this movie negative stars I would.

Perfect for Modern Business Traveler
Bought this book because it was recommended by a guest speaker in the class. I just read about the country I really know about and it seems like the author has really done his homework. The minute details are covered about culture and traits which you will not find in any talk show or 'polished' publications but so significantly important when doing business in foreign country. For example, don't say "Thank you" to Indians after they serve you a meal... It's a form of repayment, almost an insult and doesn't build relationship. Rather, invite your host for the same hospitality. That's how you build business relationships!! Also, Brazilians tend to be more analytical than their Latin American counterparts! Or you have to print your business cards in Portuguese and English when doing business in Brazil. They aren't too thrilled about being talked to in Spanish!! They don't consider themselves Hispanic! I found it cool to know...

Guess I was expecting a revenge film
I've read and seen stories like this before: Something tragic happens. Victims and victims' friends and family try to cope. Movie ends. Nothing's really resolved. No one gets caught. Zzzzzz.Yes, they most likely wanted to portray something more "realistic" and focus on how a family can fall apart. Yeah, I get that. But that's something you can watch on a regular talk show or Dateline special.But I like to watch movies for escapism or to see things that go beyond the ordinary life. I wanted to see the father find the a-hole and kick the crap out of him. If I wanted to see a movie which was only about family members crying and arguing, I could've turned on Dr. Phil.Don't get me wrong. It's still a well made movie. The acting's good. It just feels like going to a 5 star restaurant with the hopes of dining on a steak dinner only to hear the chefs chit chat in the background and then be told that the kitchen's closed but they hope we enjoyed our visit.

More White Spots...appearing
I broke my last digital camera, Sony Cybershot DSC93 (Fantastic Camera), so I had high expectations for its replacement. This Camera was no where near what I wanted. I did some in-depth research about this camera and MOST reviews were great. I purchased this camera and less than a week later it was returned. The outside picutres where great, I was happy with those. It not until you come indoors and take photos that you see the major flaws. Once loaded on the computer, you can notice white spots, almost like water droplets that appear through the pictures. (There is another review here about the same spots). I tried changing the settings and nothing.I ended up purchasing the Sony DSC M1...Sony has done it again with another fantastic camera. It's a little expensive, but it's worth it. Also a great conversation starter for its unique design. :)

Blah....fishy!!
There is a very good reason there have been so many attempts at a successful solo Aquaman series. The reason is that Aquaman just can't support his own title. The character actually isn't that interesting. His supporting cast are one note and his villains are normally pretty lame. Now all this doesn't mean all the books are bad but there just isn't enough there for longevity. Here, in I believe the sixth volume of Aquaman, the status quo changes for him and Atlantis, but its still pretty boring. You can only have so many adventures in the deep before they seem repetitive. The story by Rick Veitch is pretty bland. The art by Guichet is good and makes the undersea stuff look dynamic at times but its pretty hard to convey cool looking stuff when Aquaman is inhabiting the body of a fish who has been eaten by another fish. Overall, an average read. Par for the course for Aquaman.

DARK MORALITY TALE
This is the story of three men who find a plane load of money and decide to keep the cash. A simple plan you might think but of course it's not and things start to go wrong...First off, let me tell you that if you want to see a cheerful uplifting movie that will send you off into the night with your faith in the morality and humanity of mankind restored, this aint it!! Stop reading now and go watch something uplifting and sentimental like the fantastic Field Of Dreams or any of Frank Capra's movies. Sam Raimi's movie is dark. Did I say dark? I'm sorry I meant very DARK. Bleak even. It's kind of like It's a Wonderful Life but in reverse. However if you like dark movies and love Billy Bob Thornton, you'll love this. If you don't, then don't watch this movie, spend your hard earned cash on something else. This is a great movie, with great performances from all concerned, it just wont be for everyone...

Don't waste your money!
How Singer can give their reputable name to a piece of trash like the 'Lazer Storm' vaccum is beside me. I received two vaccums (one was supposed to be free) one didn't work, the other worked but after every 5 x 5 feet I had to empty out the vaccum as it cloggs up and won't 'suck' again until it was emptied. The extra long cord they have is no longer than any other vaccum I have tried. The filter has to be washed every time the vaccum was used because the fine dust etc. clogs it up. If you're looking for any type of customer service from this company, forget it! It's totally non-exsistant! I phoned many many times and found there was absolutely no option of speaking to a human. Email? I was sent an email that told me to phone the 1800 number, then absolutely no reply to any other emails that I sent. I was charged for things I didn't order, and didn't receive. Save your money and buy a decent vaccum.

RX620 - Avoid - Ink Hog - no pure B&W copying
Bought this >1 yr ago for ~$350. For B&W copies or B&W prining in general, it uses a bit of color ink each time. You cannot turn it off. Phoned Customer Service, they said it does this to improve quality. I said this is unacceptable, fraud. Was transferred and then cut-off. I later looked this up and saw some printers do this - Epson's do. This is a joke, especially considering in general this thing is an ink hog, and the ink is expensive. As well, the paper seems to jam often, and then the thing makes a super-loud grinding noise. The actual color photos are quite good. Next time I will stick to a cheap HP (as I always had). Epson, never again. Should have known better to spend this much on a printer.

primitive notion indeed
It was only a matter of time. I did not expect a return to glory, but this? This wasteland of insipidity speaks poorly of a band that took eight years to release new material. They took their time, so we like sheep waited, and what do we get? This insult to good taste and manners. By the fourth track one forgets to what he is listening. The complete lack of imagination put on open display by this once proud band would not be such a travesty if it weren't so dangerous. I fell asleep driving to work to this noise and nearly killed a tree.Alas, I have moved on. And so should you. If you are an unthinking blind follower, buy the CD. If you can still see past your own nose, then consider other options. Like clipping your toenails, or picking up after the dog.

Lean and Mean Vocal Arrangements
This is a must have 2-cd set. First I must say, that you also should get the "original" concert disc. This version is the clean and lean cut of the original live performance tracks. No matter what Aretha Franklin cd you get, you're guaranteed an award-winning electrifying vocal arrangement. Honest to God, Aretha is thee Queen of Music (in general). It's like her father Rev. C.L. Franklin said, "Aretha can sing Three Blind Mice; She's a stone singer." That's soooo darn true. Sister Aretha ("Aree-ree") is a stone solid singer. God Bless You, Sister Aretha. You're one of the best of our times. I'm so glad now the world knows this and is moved by your grace and spirit. Right on..Right on...We're On Our Way!! **A**

No free lunch!
You get what you pay for. Why spend $1500 on a Canon L series lens and then put a cheapo filter on it? You paid big bucks for a lens so you could have the best image quality available, didn't you? So then why put a cheap $10 piece of glass over it to distort or cloud your images? This filter is rock solid. The weight and feel are heavy duty and the threads are precision. And if your lens is a Canon L series lens than you know the weather sealing on it doesn't include the front element unless you have a filter on it. And it's also a good insurance policy to protect the front element from accidental scratches. But those aren't the reasons I bought this filter. I bought it because I was tired of UV haze washing out my photos anytime I was down at the lake or out on the coast. This filter clears up the images beautifully.

Not a program for Tournament Players
As a player over 2000 USCF for many years, I value ease of playing conditions. The game is hard enough. (Even Alekhine said that "Chess will be the master of us all.") The graphics are unsympathetic for ease of play. The desert 2D is probably the most viewable. Beware of seeing black pieces on black squares. There is a long, noisy start-up that KIDS will like. And the effects showing blown-up pieces will thrill them. The engine is strong even on the beginner level. If you can find this expensively used-which is likely due to mass-production and overstock-it could interest a young player that does not have a defined interest in chess. If your son or daughter becomes more interested in "The Royal Game", you can upgrade with one of the many very economical members of the Chessmaster series.

A must have for many people.
The only down side I see to this item is it's name "Telespy" sounds like some kind of slooth toy. . .and it is everything but that. The phone is nice, and has a good feel to it.(not a light weight piece of junk). The sound quality is good and it functions nicely as a regular telephone.I have two homes, 35 miles apart. I spend 3 days at one and 4 days at the other each week. I have a telespy phone at each place. I have them both set to call my cell phone if there is an intruder. I have had this setup for about a month now. I have received no "false alarms". But when I walk in the door my cell phone starts to ring, until I throw the swith on the telespy phone.This thing has so many applications, and mine has worked flawlessly.

AHHHHHHHHH. ITS HORRIBLE
DONT ever read this book! It is HORRIBLE. I had to read this for a school project and I would never ever read it again, or even touch the book again. Everyone in our class hated it and wanted to stop reading it. If you have to read this book or want to, think again, I IT HORRIBLE. It's a disgrace to literature. HORRIBLE. DON'T READ IT. The book on top of being just horrible, It had to point. I cou;dn't even finish reading it it was so bad. My advice, and probually everyone's from my literature class is simply don't read it!

Failed to Deliver on its Promise
I bought this mower last year in an effort to show a little environmental consciousness and also to spare the neighbors of at least one of the inevitable drones of summertime mowers. What a mistake. I received the mower in broken condition. It took a month to get a new one. That mower broke within 1 1/2 months. I had to drive two hours to the service center to get it fixed. It came back, mowed a few times, and I stored it for the winter (according to its instructions). Spring rolls around and it is time to mow. Guess what? The battery will no longer take a charge.As far as mowing prowess, it suffers from many of the things that the other reviewers have noted. However, I could easily have dealt with those problems-- maintenance problems, however, are a show-stopper.I'm writing Black and Decker and demanding a refund. This is the worst purchase I have made in 31 years. Save yourself the anguish and buy a nice GASOLINE mower until someone makes a reliable electric one.

Beauty is Truth
Sometimes one has to maintain a vision of what is beautiful. Diana Darby makes music that is a personal diary about love and her family. Often her songs are only guitar and voice. The songs sound like a whispered message from a friend. People who like Cat Power and Miranda Lee Richards will probably like this better. Diana captures a moment that feels like when the Velvet Undergound meets Love. But Diana is a storyteller too, and songs like "If It Feels Good" and "Ferry" expand our world. She mixes folk music with blues. It's very attention grabbing. It's a window to another world, where it's okay to be vulnerable. I am tired of the continuing death of eros. This is desiring and yearning music. It's an honest record that deals with beauty. Diana's voice holds my attention. It must be heard in a dark room on a special night.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
The movie held true to the book, which I thought was impressive. Although a lot of the smaller details were left out, I can understand due to the over all length of the movie. But there were enough major events included, that someone who hasn't read the books, could follow the events. The movie and all the special effects presented were amazing. The time went by so fast and really kept you involved with the story line. I do wish more of the childrens inter play and conversations were seen. As this reconfirms and helps define each character. In some ways, the special effects over shadowed the characters at times. But I wouldn't miss any of the future movies. Each of the characters are beautifully played and come to life before your eyes. Just as you picture them while reading the book. The costumes, sets and special effects really helped you connect with the story line.

I don't see why this film has been getting the praise it has. I heard all the hype and said, boy I think I should rent that one. Unfortunately it made absolutely no sense. The film ended and me and a friend looked at each other in disgust. Nothing really happens. I couldn't make out a plot, and I was really hoping they would clear things up in the end, making it a good movie, but no, the ending makes you want to hang yourself with a belt or something. I should have known when I heard that David Lynch directed it. Has anyone seen Dune? I read the whole series and then saw the movie and haven't seen a worse film adaption of a book since Breakfast of Champions with Bruce Willis. All in all, this movie kind of [was bad]. But if you just want to see two chicks get naked and make out, and you don't really mind the total absense of a story or a plot or cohesiveness or relavence of any kind, then by all means...

Don't buy this
I got my canister as part of my original purchase of a food saver. With in a matter of weeks it was cracking. It became useless because of the cracks. When I emailed them to complain I was told I had to call it in to their service desk. I explained that due to a recent injury I can't talk. That I needed to use email, TTY or instant messing. I was told that I should get a neighbor, friend or family member to call. I'm checking the laws to see if that is a violation of the law. I believe it is a violation of the handy access law. But it doesn't matter it's just wrong. I will never buy another and you shouldn't.

What was he thinking?
The author of this book, Dr. Edgar Berman had a most incredible career. He was evidently a talented and amazing man. But this book...wow. I don't know what to say. It is a jumbled, incoherent mess. You will finish the book and not have taken anything away from it except that the author seems angry about many things.Not knowing anything about Dr. Berman, when I began the book, I noticed that he seemed to be especially angry - even hostile - toward women. Throughout the text, he referred to them by such names as Old Maid, Hen, Flabby militant feminist, and platform-shod gum chewing floozy. He wrote that Gynecology and/or Obstetrics would be an ideal specialty except for one thing - women. Chapter 10, on plastic surgery, is titled "From Hags to Bitches". A little research on the good Doctor revealed a long history of disrespect for women.What else is there to be said? This book is going in the trash.

Kindle Paperwhite
Having lost my original Kindle that was no longer available, I chose the Paperwhite. While it has a few good features it doesn't compare to the original. I thought maybe I just had to get used to it but I've had it for a while now and really miss my old Kindle. The new one has nothing to hold on to. The frame is way too small so I am constantly touching the screen unintentionally. I really miss the keyboard. I used it a lot to recall formerly introduced characters or situations. Now when I use that drop-down touch function I lose my place in the book. So now I have to make a point of the location so I can go back there manually. I really like the lighted screen. But I would go back to the original in a heartbeat.

A really cool flick
The movie was just cool. I don't read the comics but the movie is clearly stand-alone. The character had real development the action was great but not over done. I liked the way the bad guys were actually able to shoot. Something that is pretty uncommon in the action movies. The bag guys were eccentric but not overboard. The assassin that sang Frank that song before trying to kill him. That was just cool! I really didn't think I would like this movie after seeing the preview and remembering the one from 89. I was so wrong. This movie just rocks and so does the sound track. The tracks were well picked and placed in the film.Bottom-line a fantastic action movie with a solid story. Well worth buying

Please pass this one by...
What a disappointment. Wish I knew what Roger Corman had to do with them. We watched several and he was not mentioned in the credits at all. To add insult to injury, disk #3 was damaged and glitchy. We thought that all the movies needed a guy in a rubber monster suit to improve them. This is a virtually unwatchable set. We love Roger Corman movies and have the best of the worst. This is awful. It was about 3 hours of my life I'll never get back. I would have rather changed the litter box. Twice.

Great characters with great chemistry...(4 1/2 stars)
"Off Limits"...what a fun, fast read! Emma has just crawled through a rough patch in life and has moved to start fresh. This move includes a new position as detective with the New Orleans Police Department. Once settled in, she is linked up with Bobby Halloran. Bobby is a bad boy detective with a rep for charming the ladies. Watching these two was so much fun. There was such an attraction between them...not just as man and woman, but as friends as well. They made a great team as well as a great couple. This book was tightly written and had a great pace. I loved it. "Off Limits" was fun, entertaining and very sexy. I would definitely recommmend it...A Keeper.

this is AWESOME
Some people might find them trendy or annoying or just plain weird or whatever, or may have never even heard Stellastarr* but I can tell you one thing: I absolutely love them. As I began to play this record, I didn't skip through one song. They all fascinated me and I wasn't disappointed. They remind me of the 80's with their styles ranging from Joy Division to the Pixies. "My Coco" is a perfect example of just how good their songs get. The members of the band range from a talented painter, a former cellist, and an interesting drummer, to and a guy who knew music well, and was striving to just have fun and playing in bands. Once you hear "Jenny" you'll be hooked, I promise! This is one of those CDs you can't stop listening to and you don't easily get sick of because of the catchyness and signature each song has. I was totally psyched after hearing this work of art. You'll be happy once you buy it and listen to it, because it is truely well worth it. Happy listening!

Forever Black: The Best
Great product. It turned the pale grey ashen looking plastic trim on my 01 Xterra a shiny jet black. It took a few coats to do the trick. Preparation is the key. you must remove all built up wax for this product to penetrate the plastic. It dries pretty quickly. Don't apply when it's windy. It dries too fast and you will get spotty results. I found that alternately applying horizontal then vertical coats yielded the best results. It's been on my car for over six weeks and has survived heavy rain and several trips to the car wash. My mechanic said " It looks like a new car". One bottle did the entire car. It even worked on the metal bumpers.

out-dated future
This was a very nice movie to watch, even twenty or thirty years after I had first seen it. It has that special charm of out-dated SF movies and I enjoyed watching it again. The characters appearing in the film are many-layered, funny and simply interesting. Young Michael York is both energetic and contemplative, both in good measure. The girl and the old man are charming. The visuals were stunning at the time of release, and still are if You do not require 4-5 explosions per scene and jumpy directing. The film is even erotic to some point. The plot suffers some faults, but not as many as most modern movies. Both picture and sound on the DVD are fine. There are not many specials on the DVD, but since these are mostly boring, I do not object to that. Strongly recommended.

The Title Says It All
My mother just purchased this book for me a few days ago. I've already read all of it. I plan to re-read it. The stories, cartoons, poems, etc. are so moving. You will find yourself connecting to these anecdotes in a way that will increase your awareness of yourself as a future parent or a parent-once-more. This book should be a hit with expectant Moms (AND expectant Dads), no matter what their situation. This book offers a variety of points of view and discusses many situations. There were humorous stories about pregnancy and delivery, expectant fathers points of view, the emotions of expecting and facing adversity during pregnancy, the special bonds created when adopting a child, passing the torch from one generation to the next. Cartoons, and other humorous anecdotes are guaranteed to make you laugh. Some stories will make you cry. This book will move you. The emotions and bonds created during pregnancy and adoption will be deepened and you will find your soul stretching!

Very Sweet!
This is a very sweet book. I've been reading it to my son since we adopted him as a newborn. (He's now 3.) We both love it. No, it will not really answer your child's questions about adoption. It is a starting place. This book's message is that the adopted child (bluebird) is a blessing to his adoptive mother (kangaroo). You can detail your own child's adoption story to them as they are ready, but I'm sure the basic message you'd want them to always know in their heart is that your child is a blessing to you. If you longed for a child and prayed a lot before your prayers were finally answered by adoption, I would definitely recommend this book as a must have! (You'll probably cry the first 5 times you read it, though.) ;)

New Limp Album
Well, so I see Limp hasnt gone totally rap. 'Results May Vary' is an album that Freddy Durst says conveys how he really feels about alot of things, including life and what not. Hearing this, I really didn't expect much from Limp, ESPECIALLY without Wes Borland. Now expecting little from the CD and being an old school TRUE Limp fan from Jacksonville, I was basically forced to buy the CD. I popped it in, expecting to hear Fred shoveling B.S.. I was actually pleasantly suprised. Now I mean, there are many more CD's that I enjoy listening to and keep in constant rotation in my 6 disk changer in my car, but Results May Vary will stay in for awhile. "Eat You Alive" is a solid radio and MTV hit. Songs like "Gimme The Mic" and "Head For The Barricade" make you want to just mosh in your room. Results May Vary also includes a cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" which almost is more powerful than The Who's version. This is a CD that I have not regretted buying.

i liked it at first, but....
I've had this coffee maker for about 9 months. At first it was great. Made good coffee. Kept it hot. Mine never had a problem with leaking. About a month ago I noticed that there was mold growing in between the two layers of the carafe. Now it doesn't touch the water or coffee at any point. But still. It's really gross. And there's no way to get it out apart from unscrewing the two parts of the carafe to clean it. And it doesn't seem worth it to do that everytime I use it.

Too cheesy and not funny
I ordered this movie because I read other reviews and thought it would be a good laugh. It really isn't. It is basically more cheese than wit. If you like cheesy, this is for you. If you like a little bit more to your plot, even if it is humor, I'd say pass this one up. I plan on donating this one to our local thrift shop. If I liked it better, I would give it to a friend. I like offbeat humor and I enjoy the combo of humor and mystery or thriller. This is just eighties cheese at its worst. I don't think even during its time I would have liked it and I have liked some cheesy stuff. It isn't as bad as I've seen. I've seen worse. It isn't very good though. If you want cheap entertainment that you likely won't treasure, go ahead and watch it. Otherwise, go with Young Frankenstein or something a little more funny if you still want the cheese.

ONE STAR because ZERO STARS wasn't available
If negative stars were a possibility, I'd rate this 'film' at Negative One Hundred Thousand.What. A. Piece. Of. Unbelievable. CRAP.I had the highest of hopes for this movie. (Not high expectations--come on, Rob Zombie's not going to come up with a new 'The Haunting'.) But I was hoping for a thriller along the lines of 'Texas Chainsaw' (the original, not the god-awful remake).Instead, we are presented with this. It makes a student film with cinematography by Stevie Wonder, a script written by Forrest Gump and a femme fatale played by Geri Jewell look like 'Lawrence of Arabia.' Who was holding the cameras--a wall-eyed spastic? Karen Black is the ugliest woman in creation (hey, speaking of wall-eyes) and she could have done more here, but you only see her for a total of about two minutes.I can't even write. I'm flabbergasted, flummoxed and flapped to flinders by this flotsam. Rob Zombie is the ultimate retardo king of the Universe.

Loved this book!!!!
When I first checked it out Dead Until Dark at the library, for some reason, I couldn't get into it. But I gave it another chance and I'm glad I did. It has a mix of romance and suspense. Sookie Stackhouse is a great gal and Bill her vampire lover is the best. The story and characters were very interesting and it all takes place in a small town. Usually lots of vampire stories take place in big urban cities, but not Dead Until Dark. Bon Temps, Louisiana is as small as you can get. lol! I read this book in one day, and am currently rereading it. I just ordered my own copy here off of amazon, so that I can return the copy that I'm reading to the library, before I ruin it. lol! I love vampire fiction, especially contemporary/modern day ones. Read this book and you'll love it. Charlaine Harris is a wonderful writer. I can't wait till April for Living Dead in Dallas--another Sookie story. I hope Bill is in this one. :)

Sound could be better
One of the other reviews commented how this disc had no surface noise? Well, they're right. The noise reduction (sounds like an older analog process) removed enough of the upper frequencies that the label chose to add echo after the fact to cover up their handiwork. So, "Blue River" is a brilliant performance . . . but it appears here in mediocre sound. For my money, the best sounding set out there NOT on Mosaic is the 2-cd 'Jazz Tribune Vol 48' on RCA (a US release).There is a WORSE sounding Beiderbecke cd out there, with Orrin Keepnews' name on it yet. BUT . . . that's another story.

So "on target" it hurts
There were several times I came close to putting this novel away, but something...call it curiousity, involvement, identification with the main character--whatever--wouldn't let me quit reading until the end. Unremmitingly depressing (which is even sadder because the novel is so true), it tore me apart emotionally, and I'm still not quite the same. But rarely will you find a book so honest in its depiction of loneliness. It's almost overkill. I kept asking "My God, is THIS what I have to look forward to as I age???" I'm not even sure it's a cathartic novel, because I was just as sad when I finished it as I was during the entire reading. Even the title is mocking and ironic. But one thing is for sure...you won't find more captivating, powerful writing anywhere else with novels dealing with aging and homosexuality as you have here. It's almost a anti-novel. Is this Holleran's own self-study?? Whatever the case, be prepared (and warned) before you read.

Shouldn't even be on the market
First of all, this product is dark brown and there was no way I would brush with a dark brownish red powder. When I ordered it, I thought the brand name was "Red", not the supposed color. Secondly, every word on the container was in a foreign language that I could not read. Thirdly, it was ordered from India. If I had known that, I never would have ordered it. Amazon should tell people when a foreign product is being ordered. I threw it out. Be prepared, this is not what one expects in a tooth powder. I googled all the ingredients (foreign language) and every English translation was an herb, spice or plant. However, even though it supposedly had all natural products, I just could not brush my white teeth with this brown stuff. A total waste of money and I threw it in the garbage. Couldn't think of a good use for it unfortunately.

Don't Buy. Don't Replace the Ink.
Zero stars really. Same story as everyone else. I hardly ever used this printer; not for photos, not for copies, hardly anything. For no apparent reason the black ink stopped printing even though we just replaced it. After cleaning the nozzles we needed to replace all of the color inks. We spent $73 replacing all the inks from Epson. Now we get only BLANK PAGES. No support from Epson. I stayed on hold waiting for the returns department for over an hour and eventually hung up. They don't take returns on opened ink. I think my credit card company guarantees purchases against like this You might want to try yours too if you're stuck with ink you cannot use.

There's not enough in this game to be a copy-cat.
The physics in this game are outrageous. Try this. When at home, get on your skateboard or any thing else that rolls, and go full speed at a wall. Do you know what happens? You fall down. Not evan the best skaters could sustain such a hit. Unless you are in this game. In this game however, you just stop. This is a bad thing. Also, when you do fall(and when attemting tricks you will do a lot of)you only have two bail animations. Falling on you back, and, well, your back in a different way. Grinding will lead to such rages that you have never imagened. No clue as to when you are going to fall off. Oh, and don't evan think about doing any other tricks, not that there are many to try. The only thing good is the music. Don't buy this.

Whoa Nelly , Whoa
indeed, this is by far the best pop album I have ever heard. This woman can sing, and not just about shallow, and piddly meaningless things either.If your a fan of artists who write their own stuff, and have depth behind their songs, than you have no choice but to instantly fall in love with Nelly Furtado. And if you like music that cracks the mold of normality than this is also the cd for you. Using beats that resemble Trip hop, more than Modern pop; in most instances Nelly Blends a style she formed in the underground scene. With deep lyrics and a voice that is mezmerising to say the least. Everyone needs this album!Standout tracks include. 2. On the radio, 3. Baby Girl, 7. Trryin , and 9. Well, Well. Not to mention her smash singles , Turn out the light, and like a bird.P.S :And if you get the Chance to see her in concert don't pass it up! She might be the most gorgeous of all the popstars. Buy the album, see the show, you won't be dissapointed I promise you.

Many Teaching Points
I am a first grade teacher and use this book for many teaching points. The main idea or theme is the importance of "facing your fears." I also use it as an example for Writing Workshop. The author starts the story..."OOOO, I hate that Billy Huxley!" The writer captures your interest right away to keep you reading. Everybody has fears and this book begins by showing how embarrassing our fears can be. I do not read this book in one sitting because we stop to "turn and talk" for 1 minute on every page. Make predictions, connections and several vocabulary words. It takes me 3 days - 1/2 the first day, 1/2 the 2nd day and the 3rd day we create the chart. I use a graphic organizer and pair this book with "Thundercake" by Patricia Polacco, another great book about facing your fears. This book deserves the full 5 stars!

Magic Mic
I bought this as a gift for a 4 year old girl. She loves to make up songs, as most kids her age, and she just loves this. It's not electronic and it doesn't need batteries at all. Works fine, it uses echo, so it's not too noisy for the parents. Even her 6 year old brother is having fun with it. I think it's as close to a bullhorn as they will ever get. One hopes. Great price too. (It was on sale when I bought it). It doesn't look too durable as it is made of plastic, but we shall see. If it last more than 6 months, I will re-rate it for 5 stars. :-)

TO MANY COATS
I really cant add to much to the reviews here. Its one bad flick.Seagal sits in this movie alot, he mumbles in this movie alot and he wears very heavy leather coats one on top of the other even though thier in the Bahamas. I thick the Vodka bottle and hot dog tray were always close at hand. He looks so bad in his scenes,like the director beat him up before going on set! There was alot of dubbing in this flick and poor segall swings his arms around like a big bloated baloon. I think in his next movie he will lay on his side the whole time. The girl was a beauty though. But worst of all is in the beginning of the movie a little spy plane is flying across a dam. It was soooo fake! I thought I would see a hand holding it in the air. thumbs way down.

It's Not Good
I bought this at the same time I bought "Something Borrowed" (otherwise I would not have bought "Something Blue" after reading "Something Borrowed", since I did not enjoy the latter). I did not like "Something Blue" either: It is not realistic. You just now how it is going to end, but still it is not believable. All this "turn a new leaf" thing. Going from an obnoxious person to a forgiving loving one. I don't think so. Leaving her job when she is pregnant and spending all her savings in designer clothes? Plain stupid. There is not a leading female role in this book, a strong character, a smart woman. No, just the opposite. She has no backbone (just like the protagonist in "Something Borrowed").

Should have been marketed to kids only
This is not only Nic Cage's worst film, it's also the worst "Indiana Jones" Genre film. It's incredibly implausible, as well as horribly acted. I watched it with my dad, who is a HUGE Nic Cage fan and hed went to be half way through it because it was so bad. I hate it when such good actors sell out and make such bad films. At least with Indiana Jones and The Mummy films, I was able to buy into them and suspend my disbelief. With this film, its just so bad that you cant. The movie invovles a series of clues that Nic is amazingly able to figure out, no matter how vague they are. There are a few blunders in this film that were very obvious--poor job on the script editors part. I am in disbelief that this movie made so much money. I think most kids are smart enough to want a better movie. Rent the Indiana Jones films instead. They are good treasure hunting films with great actors, great scripts and so much more fun than this one.

Actually, 3.5 stars
"Krippendorf's Tribe" isn't Richard Dreyfuss's best movie to date, especially having released the stunning "Mr. Holland's Opus" two years previous. Some of his lines were overreacted. Besides this, there are good elements in the movie. Some funny scenes will catch the audience's eyes. However, the borderline between fantasy and reality needed to be recognized by the producers. Despite, faking eyecatching "Shelmikedmu" rituals to gain national recognition is clever. Such scenes lead the audience to a surprising conclusion. Lily Tomlin plays the funny role that viewers either love or hate. Some of Jenna Elfman's lines were underreacted, but when she shines, she shines bright. Notice rising star Gregory Smith, the middle child. He's performed better, but his role was still underrated.Fans of certain actors in this movie should rent "Krippendorf's Tribe" once. Some mixed opinions about the outcome will arise, but everyone will be entertained.

Great set of dishes!
I purchased this set of Mikasa Antique White dishes from Amazon. They are beautiful! I use them as everyday dishes, replacing them for a set of Correlle dishes I was using. I couldn't be happier. They hold up well. They do not chip and can get banged around. They are much more elegant than the Correlle. The price couldn't be beat, as I purchased them from Amazon's 4 for 3 promotion. Because of this promotion, I was able to purchase the whole set. I am so glad that I did!! As others have said, these bowls are generous, but I love them!!

Piece of crap
This book was such a disappointment, and such a waste of time and money that I will throw it in the garbage if I can't give it away. The plot was weak, the characters one dimensional and annoying (not to mention annoyingly-named . . the feminist, named . . . "Girl," the Alpha Female, named . . . "Manley." A high schooler could have thought of a better device.) The Nanny Diaries were fluff, but entertaining fluff with an interesting glimpse of life in New York without a budget. This book has no similar charm or draw. Seriously, do not waste your time or money.

Best Purchase Ever Made
Everyone told me not to spend the money but I did anyway. It has been one of the best investments I have ever made. It is easy to carry wherever you go. The screen is so clear I have stopped using glasses to help me read. The fact that you can download a book in less than 1 minute is amazing. You can start reading whatever you download in seconds. I only wish it came in more than one color. I do recommend a cover for your Kindle. You would like to avoid anything happening to your investment. For all of those who are thinking of buying one, I say do it. It is well worth the investment. It's all about going green. :)

Amazon - A new perspective
Amazon has changed my mind - they don't always have the best pricing. This is hundreds cheaper elsewhere. I changed my shopping habits and no longer trust in Amazon to offer the best pricing. The Hurricane is a great toy - expensive regardless of the source. Grand Kids love it. Repairs are the issue and you will need them. I have two other Power Wheels products and true to form, this one broke after two months; right on schedule, and much sooner than the high price should allow. Fun fun but inevitable repairs are a HUGE hassle. Our Gnome and the Jeep move at the same pace now. The tires and torque are a plus for yard travel. Battery charge time is is a BIG negative. The extra battery is a good idea but also expensive. I'm done with Power Wheels toys, at the end of the day more trouble than fun.Fisher-Price Power Wheels Ultimate Terrain Traction Jeep Hurricane

I'm glad I didn't pay for this book!!
I am burning this book at my next bonfire. I wouldn't dare pass this book on to anyone. If you are a woman that has decided to have a homebirth, don't waste your money. This chick is totally for using drugs and thinks your nuts if you want a natural birth. If you're a G-D fearing woman you'll be appalled by her suggestions of what your husband should do if you don't feel like having sex, and her choice of words leaves a lot to be desired. She also has tape set on the market referring to the first year of motherhood. She just repeats herself from this book on the first and 1/2 of the second side of the tape. Luckily, I didn't pay for that set either. I've decided to ask family and friends not to buy me any pregnancy or baby books. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!

Some new ideas but very repetitive...ditto
I got this book on the recommendation of a Financial Planner. The idea of not pouring your wealth into your house equity made a lot of sense. But it droned on for several chapters.Then when he got to the Insurance. It just did not add up. Some of the examples were confusing at best. Contrived at worst. Figure 18.3 on Page 350 just did not make any sense. I could never get my numbers to match his, which never breeds confidence.He had the results of a $6000 investment in a mutual fund after 1 year at a 10% yield equal to $6029. Even when I took into account some of his assumptions. (Sales charge of 5% and Management fees of .75) I could never get close to that number. And as I extrapolated this problem over 35 years, the difference became larger and larger.

Absolutely Terrible!
I bought this game for my 9-year-old son. He was having some problems with it, so I gave it a try. Once you get past the interesting, opening animation sequence, it's all downhill from there. The interface is complex and confusing. It is difficult to build anything. Just moving a piece into place is very difficult. Therefore, building anything of consequence becomes pure torture. I even read the instruction book. It didn't help. We'll stick to building models with real Lego Blocks, thank you. As for this game, I am going to get my money back!

A GREAT addition to the yoga library
I must concur with all the glowing reviews regarding this DVD. Donna is a skilled and caring instructor. I felt very motivated and relaxed in her hands. The production quality is terrific and very natural: You feel like you're in the room!For those who like (need) a challenge, like myself, here it is. For those who want to sit longer with poses, here it is. It's TWO practices in one! You can choose one or do both, which provides an optimal and full workout.I've spent nearly a year researching and building a yoga library. In the process I've bought some bummers and clunkers. This one I'm very happy to have bought. And the fact Donna donates a portion of every sale towards animals is another reason to feel good. Consider it a perk.

This game is not working on a PS3 - dont buy this game!
I honestly dont know how this game can get so many good reviews. My wife and I tried to play this game on the PS3. After the intro when it comes to the monolog for either game characters (doesnt matter whic one you choose) they tell you they have to go to the beach. An arrow blinks to indicate there is probably more text. But you cannot scroll - none of the controles works, except the OK button. When you activate the OK button you have to RESTART THE PS3 to get out of the game. It totally locks up the whole system. This game is crap - I cannot belief that Sony produced and sells such an unfinished game. We also tried online updates but they didnt fix the problem either. This game is just frustrating and no fun at all. DONT BUY!

Wow. DC should sue
I know from other reviews on this book that they were doing a "tribute" to Superman when they came up with Supreme, but damn, they didn't have to go out and rip off the entire DC universe as well! I had a hard time reading the stories here cause I was seriously distraced by matching up all of the characters here with the DC version they're ripping...I mean giving tribute to. I mean C'mon! Polyman? not only having the same powers as Plastic man but almost the same costume right down to the silly visor and quirky attitude. Fisherman? no, not a Aquaman wanna-be as you might think, but a Green Arrow clone who uses a fishing pole ???? to fight crime....well, get this book if only to play the match game. oh yeah, one last one...Supreme has a super powered cape-wearing dog as well. oy!

NICE LOOKING BEAN KILLER
BEWARE. The grinder is compact and nice looking but that's it's only virtue. It has a top hopper that is supposed to hold 1/2 pound of beans. Storing beans in the hopper will GUARANTEE STALE BEANS AND BAD COFFEE. THE HOPPER AND LID ARE SO FLIMSY THAT THE LID DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE. ANY VIBRATION AT ALL CAUSES IT TO POP UP AND COME LOOSE. I could not get the lid to stay in place just trying to but it on out of the box. You have to hold the lid down manually when grinding or it rotates itself and pops loose. The ONLY way to use this grinder is to measure out the amount of beans you need and then put them in the hopper and grind them all. But don't do it if there is anyone asleep in the household. This thing makes enough noise to wake the dead. And, at the middle setting in the grind adjustment, IT PRODUCES GRAVEL.

Piece of Junk - Multiple Problems
After reading reviews about this thing bursting into flames, I guess I got off lucky. The door is not hinged properly. Inferior materials creates a sag and misalignment. This misalignment of the door opening resulted in my push button mechanism breaking. I am sure it is probably a little piece of plastic that snapped on the inside. I now have an oven I cannot open w/ out the use of a screwdriver to pry the door. Also, only 1/2 of the light panel display works, so I have to try to interpret the disply with only half of the info. I've had microwaves since the 70's and never had one that broke. This one not only is broken, but has multiple defects. Didn't Sharp used to be a reputable brand? I will not be buying another Sharp anything. Unfortunately, this is built in and I need to find an exact fit. Any suggestions from readers on what would replace this model is appreciated.

disappointing
Give me a break. What a very boring book. Carrie is so shallow. All the characters lack depth. It made me think of the book, The Prince of Tides. Someone with problems goes to New York to find himself. But the Prince of Tides had so much more. In fact, it is one of my favorite books. I cannot believe I spent several hours reading this book hoping something would happen to make me believe that it belongs in the best seller category. Actually I never read it all, I skipped to the end after finishing two thirds of it. Surely this author must be related to the publisher and was due a favor. I am so glad this selection was a loan from the library and I lost only valuable time.

So far, so good.
I received the Krups XP4030 today from dollarssays. It came in four days. I read all the reviews on this item and have some comments. First, the price was unbelieveable. The list price was $240.00 and I paid $89.99. I am new to making my own espresso drinks and until today I have never used an espresso machine. I followed the directions for cleaning it and made my first espresso/latte in less than 30 minutes out of the box. I used Starbucks espresso pods and the espresso had the perfect amount of crema. I was concerned that I couldn't froth the milk, but it turned out perfect...beautiful foam and hot milk. There were many complaints about water leaking. If you read the directions, it tells you that this is common and that there is nothing wrong with the machine. I have noticed water leaking out of the machines at coffee shops so I guess it is common. I expected to have to make a few cups before getting it right, but my first cup turned out great. So far this machine is a great buy.

Sorely Disappointing
I have read all Russo's novels. "The Risk Pool" is minor realist classic literature. "Nobody's Fool" and "Mowhawk" were very good, traditional mid-list reads, like the books of John Hassler. I ran out to buy his books in hardback. I thought "Straight Man," another mediocre academic novel, was an aberration-it wasn't. I wonder if he wrote the movie (or made-for-TV) script in tandem for "Empire Falls"? It is the weakest link. The main character's model was probably Charlie Brown. This novel is so dull it could have been concocted by a marketing team, except that even a marketing team would have insisted on better editing to hasten the lumbering prose in the first two-thirds of the book. I feel personally betrayed by Russo; so few write convincingly about working class people. But he's another brand name now and can continue to write dull fare and make money. For what it's worth, he's off this reader's list.

The Best Pacific Theater FPS On The Market Now
This is a fun game. The graphics are OK.The weapon selection is good. The AI is like most games (stupid).On "hard" you can die with one or two hits. This is the best Pacific Theater FPS (until the Iwo Jima campaign in Battlefield 1942 puts it to shame). The reviewer "Daniel" obviously doesn't have a high IQ. I really like the comment he made about "bullets do to much damage to you". Also, "no ammo or health packs". He's a smart one! Sorry to burst his bubble, but in "real life" you don't see many "health packs" on the ground. By the way, MOHAA is not that realistic(i.e. If you shoot a Kraut with a M1 it takes 4 rounds in the chest to kill him).

refugee review
i followed the reviews on this site and purchased the disc believing that that they were correct and it was a good cd. i have looked into the bands music influence and it was supposedly based on aerosmith whitsnake and another. if you have heard the first song the rest of the disc is nothing like it. hear the first song on youtube. i was fooled into buying this disk. i would not recommend this to anyone. this is a disc with only one good track which is #1. the rest of this album is complete crap. i took one for the team in following these idiots reviews. the whole album is like love ballads and something for your girlfriend only!!!!! i would rank this disc a -2 out of 5. DO NOT BUY THIS DISC. I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS DISC. IT IS VERY OVERATED. TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON RANKED THIS MY MUSIC PREFERENCES ARE GUNS N ROSES,OLD METALLICA, SKID ROW, JUDAS PRIEST,RATT,DOKKEN, ETC. THIS ALBUM SUCKS.

Outstanding Action/Adventure B-Movie
Dark of the Sun or The Mercenaries, either title is most definitely one of the best action/thriller dramas ever made aboutmercenary's adventures in Africa. I was fortunate enough to see this film in the theater in it's 1968 release. And it wassurely ahead of it's time. For years, I only had a vhs tape recording from PBS showing to relive this fine film. Finally, severalmonths ago, I secured the remastered dvd version from Amazon. After viewing it a couple of times, it renewed my belief inthe fine acting, story line, brutal realism, and stirring musical score, that I had remembered from my youth. Even thoughher part was minimal, the pairing of Rod Taylor & Yvette Mimieux brought back the (magic) memories of their performancesin 1960's The Time Machine. Finally, would like to quote the movie critic for movies on tv from the NY Times:"Congo mercenaries & refugees. Vivid, boiling adventure that ends too abruptly. We wanted more".

Remote DOA
This remote was dead out of the box--Logitech apparently has no quality assurance for their product. That's bad enough, but their customer support is a nightmare. I speak American English. So does having to deal with an offshore operator who I could not understand make any sense? Outsourcing their support to India saves them money, but if they do that, they should insure that their operators can speak in a way that native American speakers can understand, or not outsource it at all. Add to my frustration the 40+ minute wait I had each of the 3 times called. Then to be told that there was "no XBox Harmony Remote", not once, but multiple times. . .well, that's simply not the way to support a higher $$ product and to win customer loyalty. I'm now told it will be a month before I can expect a replacement. The wait begins. . .

Nas Is Back
On Nasir Jones' third LP "I Am..." he brings it back to where he left off on "Illmatic" the classic Nas LP. I would be giving this 4 1/2 stars but this site won't let you. Nas's official come back tune, the first real song, "NY State Of Mind 2" is a sequel to "NY State Of Mind" Off of "Illmatic". He brings it back to the roots of Hip Hop here with the track done by DJ Premier. On his lead single "Nas Is Like" he shows how he went from rugged Nasty Nas to big willie, Nas Escobar, then to just plain Nas. His other best tracks are, "Favor For A Favor" featuring Scarface, "Small World", "Undying Love", and "Big Things". The only minor slip is "Hate Me Now". OK, a little FYI for dope rappers like Nas himself, PUFF DADDY IS TERRIBLE, DO NOT USE HIM IN YOUR SONGS. The hook on this is just flat out annoying. But besides that this album is close to classic. Check out "I Am" if you wanna hear Nas the way he used to be.

This is an excellent CD!! A must-have for F13th fans!!
This show was one of my favorites from about 10 years ago. In a nutshell, for those of you who don't know about the show, it was about 2 cousins and a friend who re-claimed antiques that were cursed and sold by the cousins' mad uncle Lewis Vendredi. Sounds cheesy, but it was great! And the music was really cool! Fred Mollin does music for a lot of other Canadian shows (i.e. "Forever Knight,"), and he's really talented. I listen to this CD when I write sometimes because it helps me tune into a certain mood I sometimes look to convey in a story. If you're a fan, what are you waiting for?? If you're not a fan, you'll probably like the music a lot. It's unusual, but certainly not at all boring!!

Gets More Boring With Age
I saw this in my junior year of high school. I liked the film then but watching it now makes me break out in hives. The so-called hip Beverly Hills lingo in the film is very dated now. Watching Silverstone go ( As If! ) reminds me of being back in high school but those days are over. The plot is okay though it gets lost in between Silverstone's endless wardrobe changes. This was her breakout film, why I don't know because she was better in The Crush than she could ever be in Clueless. This used to be the film that all girls, rich and poor idolized. Now it's a strained bore. But if you are a Silverstone fan and haven't seen this ( must have been buried alive somewhere if you haven't ), by all means help yourself. Just don't expect more than Silverstone struggling over worthless, old-time lingo.

'carve' is misleading
Look at pix of the person cutting; note the pumpkins to the left; you will see that they are NOT cut thru but just have the orange part removed. If this is what you want, fine; but if you want to cut thru the flesh, this isn't what you want. Too bad. It was a great idea.What we need is a tool like the [old-fashioned] electric serrated knife (small blade, of course). I'd be the first in line to buy one of those! The saws in the pumpkin carving kits (Pumpkins Masters set is the best of a sorry lot) are hard on the hands and inefficient. And the blades bend VERY easily. mbUpdate: A ceramicist's fettling knife might do the job for the cutting. Will look for one of those.Update: Yes, yes, yes! Fettling knife is perfect!!

Did not meet my expectations
I purchased this product because I thought it would be better than using a mop on my vinyl flooring. I was wrong. This machine does not dry vacuum well. It blew the dirt, etc. around instead of sucking it up. The wet side works for a while, then before I can get all my vinyl flooring done, the suction stops working. I read on the bissell website that this could be due to the fact that the filter is wet. Duh! The filter is going to get wet! I also had problems with water squirting out of the dirty water tank while I was dry vacuuming. I had high hopes for this product. I could vacuum and mop with heated water with one machine. This product was a waste of money. I will go back to my mop until I find something that works better. I gave it two stars because the idea of using one machine to vacuum and mop is a good concept but this product needs some fine tuning.

Support is poor, program does not function as stated
We purchased this product because it says it works with Windows XP Porfessional x64. Ha! Ha! What a joke. Roxio is probably laughing all the way to the bank. It will not work. I also loaded it on my laptop which has Windows XP and it did not work on that either. I contacted support. They sent a patch which helped some of the problems but not all. I contacted them again and have not gotten a response, that was about two weeks ago. I was not able to locate a phone number for tech support so I contacted customer service to try and get my money back. They said it was not their problem to go back to the store. The store said it sounded like a compatibility issue and they would not do anything. So we are stuck with a useless piece of junk program. I would strongly recommend that you pass up this program. Ulead and Adobe will let you test their software. We are in the process of looking for a different program.

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
I've been there from the beginning. I've watched Pearl Jam play way back in the early days. I was in Bremerton. I've seen them at the Showbox under the mysterious name "Pissbottle Men." And now it's come to this. The death toll of this band has sounded. They are no longer interested in innovative, cutting edge riffs. The songs are drab, hurtful and painfully awful. Gone are the days of internal fire. PJ seems as though they're striving to become an amalgamation of Phish and The Greatful Dead. If this interests you, buy the CD and then buy yourself a coffin.

In my opinion....
This was not one of John Sauls best works. With his books, I am usually so drawn in my the 10th page that I can't put it down. Even with The Homing, which I didn't really care for but read all the way through, was better. I got 100 pages into this book and stopped. I had problems with the main characters. And that husband!! I won't even get started on him... The only characters I like were killed in the beginning. And the main woman character... I had no sympathy for. I didn't even want to know why the kid did what he did and what made him do it. I just couldn't read anymore of it.

What happened to Brenda Joyce?
I first would like to say that I was a true Brenda Joyce fan. For anyone who read "Promise of the Rose", you know what I am talking about. I love all types of romance ---comtemp. hist. funny. suspense, ect...Unfortunately, this book, "The third Heiress" did not live up to the hype. I felt no emotional involvement with the characters at all. There was nothing about Jill for me to want to read about! The mystery was lacking and I did not care for the whole "Who am I" plot line. It was played...so played! I know Brenda Joyce has written five star books before, I have read them. This book fell short. I hope she can lure me back with something better in the future.

A great camera by a great camera company
I have to admit that I am biased. I only ever use Nikon products. I have an F3 and an 80008. I purchased the N70 for the built in flash feature (so I wouldn't have to lug around my SB-24) and to have one nice do it all camera to take on vacations, etc. without having to take my whole camera bag with F3 or 80008 bodies. Well, I've shot a wedding, a trip to Spain, and, well, you get the idea. Haven't even needed to pickup the other two. The nice thing about the N70 over the N60 (which is also a great camera) is that the N70 still has the synch port. I wouldn't, of course, trade my F3 or 80008 for studio work or other stuff, but for one compact camera for taking on trips, etc. this camera is great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't a professional's camera like the F3 or F4 or N90, but this camera is fantastic and more than enough camera for most people.

Great Looking - Falls Apart
I LOVED this watch. I paid $99 for it. It looks great on my smaller wrist. Really a great looking sports watch. BUT, after one week, the second hand completely fell off and was dangling around in the face of the watch. Four days after that, the hour hand fell off. I am not hard on watches. I don't work out much and I never took it in the water or hit it on anything. I thought it was probably just a fluke - a one-time defective watch. So, I ordered a second one, returning the first. It did the exact same thing after about 4 days. So disappointing! Unfortunately, now I'm afraid to order a 3rd watch or to even purchase any other Momentum brand watch ever again. I really loved this watch and haven't found another I like as well (as far as looks go).

Shattered Mirror
Shattered Mirror was an awesome book!! It really keeps you interested in it and it lets you use your own creativity. I thought the storyline of this book was interesting!! I really liked learning about the different veiws peopel have on things. Forexample when the vampires thought different from the witches and then the humans were kind of clueless as to what is going on. It was also interesting when in one part of the book there was a group that had all humans, vampires, and withces united together as one! The book really makes you think and it tought me that not all people have the same veiws on life and how it should work! It is a great drama also... I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen to Meilinda when she was out hunting for vampires and then I also was paying attention to the thing going on between her and Christopher!! Overall I would give this book 4 stars and would reccomend it to anyone interested in vampires and fantasy!! It's a great book to read and get into!

Great Lift, Disfunctional spanner wrench
The lift plate is a pleasure to use. I dont know why I held out so long. The MDF template sold by JessEm needs some betterinstructions ( Read my review ). Made in Canada, wow! Great quality, wow. Tried to use the provided spanner wrench to place andremove the table inserts and guess what? It DID NOT FIT. The pins in the spanner wrench were pressed in an angle. Had to openup the holes in the inserts so I could use the supplied spanner wrench. Guess where that was made, and your first guess is? Ourfriends in CHINA have put it to me again. I looked at the bag that it was packaged in and guess what? Made in CHINA!!!!! It'snot that I was surprised but with all the hype about JessEm being made in Canada, and we are machinists and toolmakers, and weare woodworkers too, and quality comes first, BLA BLA BLA. JessEm should look at the quality control of their subcontractors.All in all, a really great tool accessory.

McAfee sent back
I've been using AVG Anti Virus for several months. I was told that Mc Afee was better. So I decided to upgrade to the better product. This is the first product I've paid for that hit me with advertisements. Then every time I boot I have screens that let me know I don't have other Mc Afee products installed. The system check told me of I was not safe as I did not have some of the products installed. The last straw was when they sent my rebate back for no UPC code enclosed, a bold lie. This was the last straw. I'm now back to the free AVG Anti virus. They have updates almost daily way more than Mc Afee, my system runs faster, I don't look at "nag" screens, and I'm virus free. This time the free product is better. Keep your money and let you computer run better! They don't make it easy to get your money back.

Poorly Made - Not The Intellivision You Remember
What a deal, right? Wrong. While this piece of electronics might seem too good to pass up, it's faulty on several levels. First of all, it's buggy. Some games didn't load correctly or at all (Golf was a black screen). During some games, movement was hindered by a constant pulling to one side or obscured by random screen scrambles.Secondly, the controls are not the same. It's impossible to play most of these Intellivision games correctly with a Nintendo-style controller. The sports games were impossible. Without the original controls, most of the original playability was lost.Lastly, the games seem gutted or "dumbed down" for this device. It may be just my faulty memory, but I remember many of these games being more involved. It seems that some of the features were stripped out, and like the controller issues, you're not really getting the original game. As a former fan and early-80s console gamer, I was very disappointed with this item.

Faking can never last long
Anyone who is young, energetic and smart has a great advantage to become an idol in American presidential election. But Obama seems to be only a FAKE. He fakes everything, he mimid and copied big politicians but has very little of his own. But that is not the worst, he is trying to hide his Muslim past and pretend that he is mainstream Christian which he is not. Why he never talked about his visit to Odinga in Kenya only two years ago who is his close personal friend, and has since been killing thousands of Christians in Kenya, whose aim to overthrown the elected Kenya government and turn that country into a Muslim one? Can any Christian recite passage from Koran with Arabic? That has Obama done in a interview with New York Times in 2006. Don't believe this man. He is only a fake. (Fox News, great journalists such as Judi McLeod, Jon Christian Ryter, etc have all been reporting or writing about this man. Read for yourself.)

Bud Spencer-Man of Steal
Flashback Christmas 1978. "Superman-The Movie" was playing to a packed house at a movie palace in downtown Philadelphia. Around the corner in a tiny bijou "Charleston" was playing out its one week engagement. Why did one movie capture the zeitgeist and the other not even draw flies? The thirty-five year mystery is solved. "Charleston" is a half-baked Italian rip-off of "The Sting". The byzantine plot concerns a dapper con artist(Bud Spencer) and his doltish minions trying to rip-off a stupid millionaire (James Coco) in a deal involving a luxury liner. Thrown into the mix is a stolen Gaugan. It gets so confusing that you don't care after a while. Sole selling point is Herbert Lom doing a riff on his Inspector Dreyfus character that played better when he was opposite Peter Sellers. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" fans should note the presence of Ronald Lacey who played Todt in that film.

i can't believe lara died! i cried when it happened in the last book and i cried at the funeral scene and in the nina/ben closet scene and... well, it upset me. and lucas was right at the funeral- zoey was acting so full of herself and her own problems when lara, a great character, was DEAD! she always jumped right to the conclusion that nina and lucas were doing it again whenever she saw them together! zoey is so full of herself. my favorite part was the plot with claire. a guy, paolo, has been SERIOUSLY bugging her thoughout the book! i think it's cool how much he likes her! she's aways been my favorite character and i think it's so funny how much he bugs her!! this book totally deserves 5 stars!!! the only problem is that there are only two more book in the series after this one!!!! waaaaaaaaaa!!! =)

Female Bodybuilder
I'm a light weight female bodybuilder who is usually unwilling to change. I actually met Mike Perron at the Arnold classic. I got the CD of Fit Happens at Any age. I listened to it in my car four times. Several statements made sense but I was a little reluctant to change my workouts...Strength training in the morning on an empty stomach. I've always done cardio on an empty stomach everyday (no days off from cardio) Strength training 6 days a week. I decide I could try some of the things Mike mention for 4 weeks. If there is 52 weeks in a year what's four weeks. I began strength training 1st thing in the morning two lower body exercise, 2 exercises for chest and back, and 1 exercise for smaller muscles. No cardio for four weeks. I lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks (I also started my menstrual cycle during this time. I usually put on 3 to 5 lbs of water weight) I'm so excited! I've been telling everyone about Fit Happens at any age! Thank you Mike!
