Horrible! Skip it!
This has to be the lousiest Rheingold on dvd! Do not waste your time! It took me two weeks to get through it, and even then I put it on the computer as I answer emails, but when I couldn't take much more, I would take a break.The singing is OKAY but that's it. No stand outs. Still I would rate it higher if I just judged the singing. The production is the pits! One set for the entire thing, and it is an ugly set. Nothing makes sense. Alberich holds a mirror and that's supposed to mean he's invisible and then he holds up his arms to become the dragon and tears a stuffed bunny in half.I am not against postmodern productions, but this one was a director sticking the middle finger at the audience. No ideas or dumb ideas. If you want a postmodern Rheingold, get the Copenhagen one. That is much better than this.

Sadly...not good!
I bought this DVD in spite of reading the negative reviews here on Amazon and decided that a 4* average rating was worth it. I was WRONG!This DVD is SHORT about 30 mins total including the ads! Rouhgly 15 mins running time! Ridiculous!Furthermore, I expected Sesame Street classics like Ernie singing "Rubber Ducky", "Yellow Submarine" and so on. Instead we get the Sesame Street version of a few Nursery rhymes and BAD sesame street versions at that.My One year old who normally stays glued once Sesame Street is on WALKED AWAY after a few minutes! My 6 year old complained that the songs were "not right. They are singing them wrong!" She said. She didn't like it.This has been a MAJOR disappointment. Better off to by Barney..at least you get FULL time with menus and the children stay interested.In this instance, the 1 star reviewers got it dead right! This was a total waste of money!

Warning to Catholics! This book is anti-Catholic!
SPOILER ALERT!! I don't want to spoil the book for anyone who hasn't read this, but I thought I should warn fellow Catholics about this book. Yes, she's a good writer. But she a) has a really, really bizarre take on Catholicism and b) she puts in digs that will make Catholics cringe.For example, the main character makes nasty asides about how Catholics don't mind if someone belongs to the mafia, so long as he contributes to the church. Oh, right. Lying, theft and murder--not a thing about them in the ten commandments.At the end of the book, the main character's twin sister leaves the convent. She apparently only went into the convent for cheesy pop psychology reasons, but a visit from her twin turned her around. The convent is portrayed as cloistered but (get this!) the nuns get vacations. Talk about laughing out loud. And there are these grim, horrible sayings everywhere in the convent.Take my word for it: this is one Catholic will want to SKIP. +

Worst Simpsons album ever!
The Simpsonsfirst albumwasn't that good, but it did manage to turn a profit. So they naturally recorded a follow up album soon afterwards. Apparently the record company wasn't too impressed with the results, because there was a slight delay in the release of the album. And by "slight" I mean approximately six years. To be fair to those record company executives who held back it's release, the album does have a few problems. The main one being that it's not funny. Let me repeat that: IT'S! NOT! FUNNY! At all! The whole album is pretty much a disaster. The first album was merely mediocre, but this one is downright bad. The "highlight" here is probably "She's Coming Out Swinging", where Lisa works with George Clinton's P-Funk All-Stars. That track is not too unbearable. As for the rest of the album, the less said the better. To quote Bart Simpson, "I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows."

Fall Front Bread Bin Finish: Matt Steel
I love my new bread box! It has a much larger interior than I thought it would. We've been able to put a large loaf of bread, 6 bagels in a bag, one package of hotdog buns and a package of pita bread in there all at the same time. Since it's flat on top, I can put other items on top of it. A definite plus since storage space is limited. The bread stays fresh and lasts much longer. We put a loaf in there and deliberately took our time eating it. Three weeks after its "best by" date it was still fresh and mold free. The box has kept all my bread products fresh and safe from a very clever cat who will eat anything left out on the counter! It was delivered on time and looks just like the image provided on the site. Would absolutely recommend to a friend!

Edell is a pompous uncircumcised drug pusher
This book is as bad as his radio show. Edell is a pompous fool. He never met a drug he didn't like. The answer to every problem is a prescription drug. In addition, he believes people should have the freedom to use non-prescription drugs like marijuana and cocaine. Yet, we shouldn't have the freedom to use supplements like vitamins and herbs. He wants the medical industry and the government to take control of those. He has an inferiority complex because he was never circumcised and was made fun of as a kid because of it. He rails against circumcision despite overwhelming evidence showing its value. Edell is the type of guy that gives doctors a bad reputation. He thinks he knows it all and that people are too ignorant to make decisions about their health.

Incredible
Everyone told me what a classic album that this was...I downloaded the MP3s not too long ago and realized that I really needed to buy this. So I went out and finally got it and it certinatly is a classic. This album really sounds like Pantera, Black Sabbath, and Lynard Skynard put in a blender. It doesn't get much better than this. The most notable tracks are "Temptation's Wings", "Eyes of the South", "Losing All", and "Stone the Crows". One thing about Nola is there is absolutly no filler...every track is undoubtably album worthy. You can tell they had fun making this album and jamming out to the tracks. What stopped me from giving this CD a 5 star rating is basically just that the lyrics aren't up to par with the musicianship on here, I personally can't relate to the southern themes. I'm not one for all that southern pride/confederacy shxt. None the less...it matches the feel of the album. If you are a fan of Pantera or any classic metal, this is a must. Pick it up.

Maybe they will make up for it on the Season 6 DVD
I was really looking forward for Season 5 to come out because I think the cast has settled into their roles and have really become seasoned actors by this time. One of their better seasons as far as I'm concerned, and I am happy to have the DVD's to watch regardless. Anyway, as my Season 5 arrived, I read the back, hoping they were just skimping on the written work, and when you pop in the DVD, the menu would have the extras.........NOPE! No Booper Reels, No fun extras to watch. I was quite dissapointed at the lack of extras, and being a '70s Show fan, I personally look for interesting tidbits that you wouldn't normally get on the everyday episodes. I'm hoping that they will make up for the blandness of this set with Season 6. Overall, glad to have it and watch it, but longed for the extras. Aren't we getting close to the 100th episode special? maybe they will have a LOT of extras on Season 6??? Maybe??? PLEASE??????

BLOWN AWAY! That's all I can say! When I heard her voice I was BLOWN AWAY! When I saw this little dynamo on Soul Train I was BLOWN AWAY! She's cute and sexy with a BIG VOICE! I love it! The CD is nothing short of molten lava! Standout cuts are: "Music", "Soul Food", "Rain", "When You Love Somebody", "Mistreating Me", "My Joy" and the title track. I'm in love with this woman and I need to let the world know! Ok, maybe that was a bit too much, huh? LOL! But GET THIS CD NOW! You won't regret it.

What the hell happened to Everlast?
My title explains it all. This album sucks. Don't get me wrong, I know almost all of my reviews are about hiphop albums, preferably underground, so many may think I'm against to his new sounds because I'm a hip hop fan. Not true. When he came with Whit E Ford sings the blues, I loved it. He had a few non hip hop that were nice, including What it's like, which was a great song. That kind of diversity is nice, kind of like Mos Def and K-Os do on their albums. This one, it's like he's trying to throw away that great mc that made him a legend. There are very few hip hop tracks on here, if those are even called that, and he doesn't even play any rock. All attempts at playing the blues, which he did alright, but he's no BB King. After his first solo album, it kind of went downhill and this was no exception. Don't waste your money.

Its small.. but thats about it
Don't get me wrong, its a decent camara but no more then that. Think about why you are buying a camara before you pay [$$] for this one. I would think the most important thing would be picture quality, with this camara you really don't get that. The pictures are not very good when compaired to other camaras in its price range. Also think about how since the lens is fixed you cannot take a closeup picture of anything. It says in the owners manual that you the closest you can get is 1M. Think if it as you can't take a picture of text and read it as it will be too blury. The flash is also very weak as other people are saying. Don't get sucked in because of the "cool" factor of the camaras small size. I had one for a month then bought a Canon S200 to replace it. It's slightly more then double the size but there is no comparison in picture quality.

good camera
I'd give it 4.5 stars...it misses getting 5 because the menu is somewhat cumbersome, it comes with only 16MB card and the lens cap can be bothersome at times. These are all minor complaints and can be overcome. Read on...Once you get the hang of it, the menu is not that bad. Need to play with it a bit...and some favorite settings can be "preset". Picture quality is great. Very flexible/good performer under different conditions. Excellent value for the price. Invest in 64mb or greater card. Battery life is good. Very comfortable to hold. If you want a good camera, that has a few more "bells and whistles" than its competition, you can't go wrong here. It's a nice camera.

DO NOT BUY
I don't know how I didn't find the rest of the reviews, I swear there were only 5 or 6, not 200+ when I ordered. Once I got this product for my son, the red flags went off. The package, from China. The writing, in chinese. The english translations, not properly translated. The gun arrived with no laser. The gun is not a semi-auto, nor is it an auto, even though it has a moving switch for those. It has single spring loaded rail that holds about 5 or 6 bb's. You can put the rest of the bbs in the magazine, but it's just for storage. You have to pull a tab each time you want to fire. When your spring is empty, you have to pull the magazine out, shake it, and pray you get more bb's in the rail. It is that bad. It is a beginner gun alright, if you are a 5 year old.Not worth packaging for a refund or even talking with the person that actually sells this garbage. There. I'm moving on, just a stupid tax on my part.

Add one more remote to your Junk Remote Box
I am used to punching in a code for each device, and you're done. Really, what's wrong with that? This unit does not recognize any DVD players made by OPPO, the best players available. It also did not recognize my PHILLIPS Directv remote. It recognized my Hitachi TV but only off and on, vol up and down and mute. I upgraded to new Sony software, but still no luck. How many hours do you have to waste? Obviously, the reason it sells for [...] bucks is that its not worth anything. Followup: I tried to program each button, the way the 5 star reviewers suggested, but this only works 75% of the time. What good is a remote if the "4" and "7" and many other buttons don't work? That's the same issue with my BROKEN remotes! By 1 star, I really mean ZERO STARS!

Ok
I grew up loving the "Meatballs" series and other 80s teen-camp movies. But I didn't go through adolescence in the 80s. And thats where most of the humor comes from in this overrated movie.Its not dull or totally unfunny. But no moment warrants anything better than a smile. Horny Jewish kids at a camp. Most of the characters and storylines aren't that funny. And the actors playing them add most of the life to the movie. The only reasons to watch this movie are the funny characters who are in the background. David Hyde Pierce, the one-note funny of Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Christopher Meloni all play funny cliche bit parts, usually found in other camp movies. But its the unfunny original characters who get the most screen time. Garofalo, Showalter and the rest are just boring and unlikable. And I'm sure they can be funny in other roles.Watch it once. You won't remember much because its not a great comedy. Not even that good.

Amazing
Words cannot describe how masterful this film is. Tim Robins and Morgan Freeman are one of the best duos to ever hit the big screen. They're chemistry together is uncanny. The cinematography is great. The scripting is right on point. And the characters actions are justifiable. Shawshank sucks you in from beginning to end. From the moment Tim's character enters the gates--you feel as though you're being sucked in with him. You feel his pain and you begin to relate to all of the inmates. The movie is very inspirational and offers some form of hope to a brighter better future. I love it. I just love it.

Impossible!
I bought this game used at Gamestop but it sure looked like it was taking me to level 1 when I tried playing it (for weeks) and never could pass the first level. All I could do was just walk around this industrial world and try to figure out what in the world I was supposed to do. Many times I would literally not be able to jump up to where I thought the game should take me somewhere. It made no sense. I kept trying it and trying. The graphics were great, but I thought it was a very dumb game if it didn't tell me at all how in the world you were supposed to play it. Now I know why the former owner traded it in! I traded it in for a better game after being dissappointed with no improvement. And I'm 27 and have played all my life, so I'm not a newbie at the gaming world. Don't buy it. It's a dissappointment!

bli-mey! what a boring movie.
i agree with the other kid who wrote that review over there. this movie is boring. i normally love johnny depp, and his movie secret window is one of my favorites as is edward scissorhands. however, this movie stinks. it's boring, it's tedious, and what's the point? some sicko spends all his day with some other hot chick's kids, and he plays 'cowboys and indians' with them. COME ON! and all that tripe at the end is pointless. there was nothing exciting in this movie. all it does is show them eating dinner, and flying kites. I can understand why a 5 year old with no view of good movies would love this. but anyone over 6 will think it's babyish garbage. i'm begging you people, PLEASE! do not waste your maoney and believe all these five-star reviews. this is not entertainment. it's the kind of movie that should only be used as a coaster for Kate Winslet's tea. (and speaking of Winslet, she should have had a nude scene here)

no difference -for us-
I have been using this product for about 6 weeks. I have not seen much of a change if any. I was very disapointed in the shipping time for this product. I think we may have been forgotten. It took three weeks to ship this product. When I inquired about the product, I received an e-mail that the order would ship that day. There was no explanation as to why it had not shipped. When I sent the e-mail, it had been two weeks since the order. It took an additional week to ship once I inquired. This item indicated that it was "in Stock" when ordered. The amount paid for shipping was not worth the 3 week wait. In addition, it came regular mail. The shipping price was 20% of the purchase price. I will not reorder again from this company. I would consider ordering or buying from a different company however.

Pure Instinct
I have really liked this product in the past. I smelled it the first time at a Whisper Party and bought a bottle for about $25. I kept trying to get a hold of my Whisper Party lady, but have been unable to. Now I don't need to because I found it here. I really love the smell. It's been a long time since I've had a bottle but I do remember some of the guys at work wanting to "hang around" me more when I was wearing it, and even if there was no one else around, and I was in a less than perfect mood, I would put some on (or just smell the bottle) and instantly be in a better mood. It would be nice if it would come in a spray, but the glass wand in the bottle is cool. Just don't drop it! I've heard it comes in a roll on bottle but doesn't smell the same. I have recommended this product to several people, and will continue to recommend it. Glad I found it here.

Works great
This fit my Olympus E500 great. I recently took an overseas trip and this bag was great for traveling and on the go trips. And the weatherproof cover really came in handy a few time when it started to rain unexpectly. The only thing that was a bit odd is the strap that you can wear around your body. It comes up the chest at an odd angle, my husband didn't have a problem with it but I did. So maybe thats just a girl thing.... :)Most times I didn't use the extra strap, just threw it over one shoulder and went. The bag held 2 lenses, extra battery, charger, and I had room for keys, wallet and a few little personal odds and ends. My friend was so impressed with it, he is buying one today.Some one asked if they can attach a tripod to the bag. There aren't really any extra loops on the outside of bag. A stadard tripod won't fit insidde. You would have to rig something up on the outside yourself. IMO I don't that that it would work very well but you can try.

Great heartfelt story
I received this book for my birthday this year and started reading at once. It is a great book. It is about a boy, Donald Zinkoff. In this story, we are with Donald as he grows up in his own little world. Donald is a little bit strange, but all the same has a very kind heart. He does not realize how different he is, but is almost alone in this. Among Donald's small group of friends are little Claudia; the old lady with the walker; his sister, Polly; and for a short time, his neighbor, Andrew. Donald's dream is to become a mailman, just like his father, this job, to him, is the greatest in the world. Donald also loves school, though he does not have the best grades.This was a story that touched my heart. I did not find it hard to follow, in fact, I thought the story line was particularly easy to follow. The name did not match the quality of the story. If you like touching, heartfelt stories, I would recommend Loser.

Irritating
After listening to the first CD in the set I was ready to stab my own ears out. I usually like Berlitz. I hate this CD offering however.There is WAY too much English spoken. It makes this course very tedious to listen to. EX. Now we're going to learn to count. One, Eins, Two, Zwei, Three, drei. OK, I get the numbering system, even without repeating each and every number in English! They do the same for the alphabet, first letter in English and then in German. A, A, B, B, C, C. Stop me if I'm going too fast here.The narrator is constantly saying, "Good job!" or "Did you catch that?!" or "Excellent!" after each and every pause for the listener to speak.Sorry, but this one just wasn't my cup of tea.

Adventurous!
I loved the way the books were told. The description was fascinating. I could see the story in my mind! I loved Aslan. He was my favorite character. I loved the way they described him. I wish that they would have never quit writing these books- I could never put them down! My favorite book was The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe though, I really liked how The Magician's Nephew was told- How Narnia was formed. But I'm not really sure I understand this one question- Was the White Witch the same witch as the one in The Magician's Nephew? I also liked Reppicheep the Mouse because he was so brave. I've never read any book I've had twice but I feel that I'm going to read these books again many times in the near and far away future!

Finnishes the best movie ever
I saw this movie, on the 16th. (I devoted my whole day to it, I watched my Fellowship and Two Towers DVDs before seeing it.) I loved it like I wouldnt have thought. When I got home, I was shaking. It is so amazing. Hands down, best movie of 2003. And in my oppinion, Lord of the Rings was the best movie I have ever seen. Even if you did not like the first two, go. It will get you loving the other two, and if you already did(like me) you will love them all even more. There is no way to describe how great it was. (I cant wait to see it again tomorrow) I won't reveal anything, but, I'l just say that the battles were breathtaking, and I loved how the relationships evolved.(Eowyn and Merry)Of course, if you plan to go to any other movies, and want to enjoy them, they will seem like nothing compared to Return of the King.

Don't bother
There is no excuse for errors, no matter how small or obvious. Some in here are glaring. For example: how logical design effects performance has to do with issues like distributing application logic to multiple servers, which optimizes scalability but will have a slight negative effect on performance. Logical design has nothing to do with what data types you use for performance optimization. That's a physical design issue! The authors did not understand this. They also do not understand how to make a point without rambling. This book is barely readable compared to the many technical books I've read. I normally don't like to write negative reviews, but this book was very bad in my opinion, and I've been doing VB6 middle tier programming for a couple years. I just took the 70-175 exam and passed by a wide margin. You are much better off spending your money on MCSD Nutshell. It is excellent. Even the MS MCSD training kit was significantly better than Syngress' book.

Mighty Stuff!
Ah...Nostalgia!!! I was a fan of the Manfreds in the Sixties...not too many left now!! Mighty Garvey was a totally underrated album. Surprisingly, the previous reviewer didn`t think Big Betty was good.This was the funkiest, bluesiest tune on the album, complete with McGuinness brass guitar and thundering Hugg drums. It would have been a number one single, no bother. The spoof Garvey tracks were so funny, especially the Night Club Sammy Davis take off. Country Dancing was also very catchy and would have made an excellent single, rather than the abysmal Ha Ha Said the Clown. Imagine the Yardbirds recorded this...what were they all on? Magic Mushrooms??!!Anyway, Long Live the Manfreds!!!!

Bill and Muriah we love you!
This album has several great songs, but "High and Lonesome" soars in a hauntingly beautiful way. I also love "The Kids on Drugs (or life)."I would buy the cd if those were the only two songs on it. Melancholy!You will love this cd!!!!!If you ever get the chance to hear Bill and Muriah in concert, Go!!!!!Contact them to come to your town for a show. They will work with you on the price. You seriously could do this and it is such a joy to kick back and enjoy a live show. How delightful to hear these songs played live. They are wonderful people. What an enjoyable way to spend an evening! All his new albums are good as well. I also like "Victory Garden" and "Fetal Position", and "Locketful of Moonlight." "Perfumed Letter" has a lot of the same songs as another of these, so check the songs list. You may like it more than the other similar comlilation. Of course, "Audible Sigh" and "Summershine" are the rave as well. CLASSICS! Book Bill! [...]

Tabloid Read
DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ, ESPECIALLY UNAUTHORIZED BIOS. I checked the 1st ed. out of the library. Sure, there are some truths that I've heard from interviews with Michael from his mouth, HOWEVER, they are interspersed with lots of fabrications. I think people recognize the truths, but then assume that the entire book is legitimate. That's how tabloids and tabloid writers make money and get these positive reviews. This entire book reads like tabloid trash. I actually get a yucky feeling in my stomach as I'm reading. And I've had to browse through sections because I just can't take the horrible writing. Sure, the author seems to support Michael, so to many readers, they are more likely to believe everything in it. I probably won't finish it. I checked it out of the library out of sheer curiosity since this author gets the best publicity for a unauthorized MJ biographer. Trash.

Wish I'd tried SIP years ago.
The first one Amazon sent me didn't work. Amazon had a working replacement to me in four days.I wish I had looked into SIP years ago. It's a bit more work than going through a commercial VOIP provider: you have to configure the thing yourself for your SIP provider and you have to buy your own DID phone number if you want in-coming calls, but it's much easier than you think, and voice quality is far superior to any commercial VOIP I've used recently. It's been years since I've used a POTS line, but I think quality is comparable and it's far cheaper.I have two complaints. 1.) It uses a wall-wart. The prongs snap in, so it may be possible to buy an cable. 2.) The admin UI seems like a step down from other Linksys devices I've used. The way to upgrade the firmware is particularly egregious. However, like I said, setup is very easy, and once it's done, you never have to come back here.

Hottest of the HOTT
Platlium or Gold these album is HOOTTTT. I think you only need 2 to 3 hits on album to make it and this game. B.Gizzle has proved cash money records wrong. I like six cuts on this title Keep It Gangsta, Real ***** Real *******,Shoot 'Em Up Bang Bang, Hottest Of The Hot, The Second Line, and Reality Check. With the right beats BG can be the Number #1 Stunner. He has the god given talent to make gangsta rap rhymes into stories of his own life. He's still bout his cashmoney. He's right in Reality Check If you help brake bread with somebody you deserve a sandwich. You can't short change, hold or take somebody's bread. It looks like money broke up the Cash Money Empire..... wordz to BG keep story tellin and keep your life together!!!

oooooooo yeah!!
Those two words best describe Def Leppard's 10th effort. Wow! I've been a fan since high & dry and this is a great albumn. I don't know what that reviewer from PA was listening to, but it sure wasn't this CD. This is definitely one of the best, if not the best, Def Leppard CD's. There are typical Def Leppard sounding songs. There are different sounding songs. There are ballads. There are rockers. Get this CD! Great job, Def Leppard!!

A WONDERFUL LOOK INTO NIXION'S WH--MUST READ
Book was long but kept my interest every minute. I was in my early teens and only vaguely remember this period in history. By reading this book, I was able to not miss a minute of it.If you love history read this book. Through the book I was trying to figure out who Nixon was, since he didn't know. I guess in the end he still didn't know and I am not sure who he was either. I was totally shocked how his only interest was foreign policy. The heck with the ecomony. He wanted to be in control but left much up to two others to make decisions in matters that didn't intrest him. My opinion of Kessinger was a dignified man. I think he was but also had a childish side to him. It seemed Nixion did not like him but needed his intelligence. You won't be disappointed in this book.

Replay
The only cool thing about this book is the way its set up. It has the cast at the begining with all the characters, and it says "The Curtain Opens..." at the begining of the book, ad "The Curtain Closes..." at the end. Its about a boy named Leo who reads his father's autobiography his Dad wrote when his Dad was thirteen. When he finds out his dad had a sister he never heard about, he tries to figure out what happened. He's in a play, and the whole script of the play is at the end of the book. He feels invisable with all his brothers and sisters, and he imagines a lot, which gets him the name "Fog Boy." I really don't understand what people see in this book. There is a lack of feeling from Leo. He doesn't really say much in the book, and he doesn't replay things in his mind like he's supposed to. Instead, he imagiens what he wished would've happened. I was very disapointed with this. I expected a great book. All in all, this was a 2 and a half star book.

My Favorite From 1984!
I can't believe I have never reviewed this album before now. When this came out I was just starting to discover the club scene. As a kid in the 70's in small town America we all knew who Tina was, as she was considered kind of a has been. All of a sudden this album came out, and I would turn my radio on a 6 in the morning to get ready for work and the first single was Let's Stay Together. Well, I looked forward to hearing this song every morning. And then I would hit the clubs at night and they started playing What's Love Got to Do With It. I was mesmerized by Tina from then on. I actually bought the LP and wore it out. Then the cassette and remember blaring this album in my 76 Regal while cruising. Finally bought the cd, and it will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. I Might Have Been Queen should also have been a single.

Best Gloves Ever.
I've used Harbinger gloves for years. those gloves are fine. but i thought they were great. I was mistaken. After using the Valeo Ocelots, Harbinger gloves are just ok.Valeo Ocelot gloves are incredible. Everything about them oozes quality. No stitching has come loose yet, but I've only used them 6 times. Other brands i've tried would have started to fray by this point.and man are they comfortable. The padding is enough to where my hands wont get torn up, but not too much. I like to be able to "feel" the dumbbell or barbell, if that makes sense. Bottom line is these gloves are great, and are better for me.Also as far as sizing goes, I've always worn medium gloves; the harbingers I wore before were medium. So I went ahead and rolled the dice and got medium Valeos despite some of the sizing worries I noticed in reviews. my mediums fit great. I can't speak for others, but I'm a medium in other brands, and it turns out I'm a medium for these gloves too.

Moving Target - A Memoir of Pursuit
Moving Target was one of the best books I have read ever. It was a moving story of a family and the hunt for a father they knew or didn't know. I was jealous of the young mother, wishing she had been mine. Later on I was glad she wasn't! Her death was an enigma. Her writings were truly unbelievable and know that's where Ron got his talent for writing. I read this book several months ago and it took this time for me to write. It is tragically moving, poetic with an uncanny melodic verbage. The quest to find this father again took Ron to many places, winding up in of all places, California. The perseverance to not quit gave this reader a gut-wrenching mystery that kept me riveted to my seat. Once you start you cannot put it down. I will read this book again. I hope Ron continues to write as he haa a talent that needs shared with the world!

SAVE YOU'RE MONEY
OK, SO I READ THIS BOOK EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO FINISH IT. BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DON'T SEE WHERE THIS 'BREAKTHOUGH SCIENTFIC EVIDENCE' IS. ITS JUST 5 MEDIUMS DOING READINGS IN A CONTROLLED ENVIROMENT. THEY DO READINGS WHERE THEY NEVER MEET THE SITTER, NEVER SEE, NOR HEAR THEM. BUT I WILL SAY THAT ONE THING THIS BOOK DOES IS IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHERE THE MEDIUMS ARE GETTING THEIR INFORMATION FROM. THOUGH THE INFORMATION THEY 'RETRIVE' TO ME IS NOT CONVINCING. I NEED SOMETHING MORE. I WOULD RATHER READ UP ON NDE'S. WHEN IT COMES TO MEDIUMS I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED. BUT BY SAYING THAT I'M NOT IMPLYING THESE MEDIUMS ARE FULL OF IT. JUST THAT THIS SUBJECT ON MEDIUMS COULD USE MORE RESEARCH.

Rubbed off. Not permanent.
It looks like I'm the contrarian since the other reviews are so good for this dye. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but it was just not permanent. I followed directions, planning to apply it to a worn cushion on my leather sofa. But first I did a test spot. I cleaned the area with alcohol spirits, let it dry, and applied two coats of dye. When I rubbed a white cloth on the test area, a lot of dye came off. Then I applied leather conditioner and waited a day to let it sit, and tested again. The product still wipes off. I noticed some people say the product is hard to get off of skin. For me, a couple brisk hand washings took a spot off of my finger, so again, maybe I got a bad bottle. The LESSON FOR OTHERS - TEST BEFORE YOU USE IT.

Think Again
Now. Don't get me wrong. I love the grateful dead. No! I mean I really love the grateful dead. But if you're thinking of buying this crock of sh*** then please think again. This is the worst album they ever produced and there's so much else to enthuse over. The inspired live dead, the joyous europe 72, the wacky anthem and aoxomoxoa. Think again.

Bad... really bad... wow... just bad
I was asked to review this and got pretty psyched, since Amanda Ashley has been recommended to me often.Wow. I hope this was just one bad book. Otherwise there is no hope for the reading public. THIS WAS AWFUL.It began with repeated phrases (three and four times in the same number of paragraphs). The overall stench just worsened with every predictable and trite description. What's worse-- the trite descriptions were of southern rural life rather than midwestern, as were the bad snippets of dialogue.Did anyone bother to edit this? Our female protagonist puts a pot of coffee on the stove, gets her newspaper, comes back and pours a cup? Either she found the worlds fastest antique percolator or lives in a 150 room mansion and the walk was REALLY long. And... pink beehives?Ugh. Trite. Pedantic. Rote. Horrible.

Bad product, crappy software, worst tech support
First, Xerox claimed that they support Windows 2000 Professional, which was totally bogus. The "new" driver for Windows 2000 on their website is the one for Windows NT4. Tech support was the most imcompetent bunch I've ever seen. I was told conflicting stories by 3 different reps. Then the last person I talked to stated that USB connection only works on Windows 98, and does not work on WinME or 2000. It was funny the person I talked to before that said Windows 2000 only works with USB connection. Oh, they DO NOT ship a USB cable with it. If you buy the damn thing, you have to run out buy your own USB cable, only to find out it does not work. This WorkCentre only functions as a walk up copier right now. I would advise any who are lured by Xerox's cheap price and sales promotions to reconsider. If you look at the drivers on Xerox's web site, it have not been updated since 8/1999. I guess that is why Xerox is having finacial problem.

Go East, Young Man (and then South)
Before I say more, let me say right away I enjoyed this book very much. Now---I have to say I am not sure why! The protagonist, Derek Mason, leaves San Francisco to attend the funeral of a relative in Charlotte, NC. And soon the serene surface of Charlotte is ruffled as things begin to "happen" to Derek. He is a likeable and even admirable young man so attractive to read about. We wish him only the best. But his quick temper and lack of real judgement get him into unnecessary trouble again and again. Surely, the reader wonders, he cannot be that dense! He is quickly in bed (literally) with two different people (whatever happened to discernment?)and one wonders about his stability. Still, that all said, it is a good read, and even has some surprises in store for the reader which are not easy to see coming. I hope that there is another Derek Mason adventure and that he can make up his mind and at the same time, find some maturity so that he can deal with happiness.

Hasn't deterred avid thumbsucker
My daughter is nearly 5 and with kindergarten imminent, and flu season in high swing we decided it was time to help her kick her thumb sucking habit. I ordered Mavala Stop with high hopes based on the reviews. The first day it seemed like it might be the magic charm. She put her thumb in her mouth, immediately withdrew it and ran to the water fountain yelling "disgusting". Great eh? Not so much. Apparently the taste grew on her as it hasn't deterred her since. It's as though there is nothing on her nail. She doesn't even mention the taste. Just happily sucks her thumb same as ever. I even took to painting it on more than once a day. Still nothing. I am disappointed as I wanted to stop the daytime thumb sucking more so even than the night time sucking. Now not sure what to try next. Good luck to others but if you've got a determined thumb sucker this product might just be a waste of money.

Good idea, LOTS of weak follow up.
I'm surprised at the reviews here. The worst comment I saw was, "Bad use of Astralian accent." Nobody mentioned that the accent comes and goes at random. How about the characters' clear knowledge of day and night while 2 miles below ground? Anybody wonder how the natives came up with a 26-hour "day"? Apparently the author also decided that Australian aborigines somehow decended from marsupials!? You could also get a little annoyed with how incompetent Navy SEALS (and everyone else) are at holding onto their weapons. In one scene the heroine snatches a gun from the hero and snaps off a couple quick, accurate shots. A few chapters later she fires a pistol and the recoil jerks it out of her hand! Now, flaws aside, it was an entertaining book. I wish the editor had done more to pick out the poor logic to some of the script. If you are reading this review, keep in mind that many of the other reviewers start with, "I'm only 13 but..."

Not So Happy with the Sony MDR-IF240RK Wireless Headphone System
Had this system for about a year. After the first 3 months it stopped charging the included battery. Had to use my own AAA battery to make it work. Luckily I used re-chargeable batteries. I could have have fought for the warranty but it would have been more trouble than it was worth. About 5 months after I received the Sony MDR-IF250RK the Foam Pad Ear Covers started to come off and they were extremely hard to put back on and they never stayed on for long. About 9 months into ownership the wireless head phone set the sound would sometimes crackle and I would loose the sound. I thought it may have been a loose battery. So I tightened the battery connection as much as possible but still got the crackling and sound loss. The crackling and sound loss always happened within range and direct site of the Bluetooth cradle. I guess I will now have to upgrade to a better model

Not what this author told us the book was about.
On a recent trip to Hawaii we met Peter Boseley at a flea market and started chatting with him. He seemed to be a very nice man and told us about this book of "true life adventures" he had been on during his travels to many different countries. He spoke about the wars, the islands, etc... We were excited to read his story and ordered it right away from Amazon. I started reading it the day it came and very quickly realized this book was all about his sexual adventures ! It is NOT what it says it is on the cover or when you talk with him. I read about 1/3 of the book before I was completely disgusted with this man. His "adventures" seem really far fetched and more like the writings of a 12-14 year old boy. I threw the book in the garbage as I felt this book was inappropriate to even give to the Goodwill. What a disappointment. To say we felt deceived by the title, the author himself and Amazon's reviews is an understatement. Pure trash.

Worst Game I ever ran
This is the worst modual I have ever read. It was a total rail road adventure. (Rail Road means that the game can go one way, and only one way for it to work). I was basicly just reading from the modual the entire time. First the PC just find themselves infected with lycanthropsy. Then they HAVE to go to this one city. Everyone there is obsessed with killing werewolves. Then when the PC's try to leave the city, there is no way out,(even to the extent of saying that this poor ass city has Griffen Riding gaurds to stop you from leaving. Then one of the local rangers finds out that you are a werewolf and sing "I see the bad moon rising".The singing ranger was the last straw for me. My group also refused to play anymore of the game and it went down in our groups history as the worst game I have ever ran .Do yourself a favor and skip this goose egg. It sucks.

A Northern Light was the best book ive EVER READ!
A Northern Light is a magnificant story of a young girl who is faced with many choices in her life. Choices that are hard to decide. It's either go to college(she really wants to go she loves writing) or keep her promise to her mother and stay with her family and stay with her lover, Royal. I personally think there should definatly be a sequil to this book. I want to know what happens with Royal and Mattie. Do they ever see eachother again? Does Mattie go back and visit or does Royal come running after her? Do they get married? and questions like that. Ok well back to the story.A Northern Light touched my heart and i couldn't stop reading it. It's filled with humor and romance( :) ) I never wanted this book to end. I REALLY HOPE THERE IS A SEQUIL!!!!!!-FK

He he. Sweet, like candy!
Oh man, I love this game. I saw it at a game store about a year ago and decided to get it. I have beaten it 2 times already!Graphics:11/10: Beautiful and creative! The characters are flat and cartoonish, while the objects and backgrounds are beautiful 3D. Eye candy at best!Sound/music: 10/10: Sound effects are pretty good, and the music is very catchy.Gameplay:10/10: It's an RPG. The battle system is unique, using little HP. Mario has a huge arsenel of moves! You can collect Badges and make Mario stronger and aqurie more moves. There are also characters who help you in battle. There are a lot of sidequests and a lot of things to discover!Challange: 5/10: If you're looking for a challange, look elsewere. I mean, this game is extremely fun, but easy! If you want a hard game, try beating this without Badges! THAT'S hard!A great, underrated game. I can't wait to get Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door for GameCube!

Nice monitor, good deal.
I went with this monitor for my laptop dock after reading many positive reviews and ratings. It was between this and the high-end dell. I have the 20" dell (UltraSharp 2007WFP) on my other computer, so that's my baseline. I expected the Samsung to be even better, but this is definitely not the case. Sitting in front of the monitor, it's wonderful. Very bright and sharp running at the native resolution. But, stand up and the brightness and contrast rapidly drop off. The horizontal viewing angle isn't as bad, but it noticably drops off as well. With the Dell, it looks nearly the same from even extreme viewing angles.Bottom line, I agree with the consensus that this is a great monitor for the price. I would likely buy it again.

THIS VIDEO IS WAY TOO LONG AND BORING TO BOOT!
I am 34 years old and in pretty good shape. I enjoy workout videos because it's hard for me to find time to go to the gym with young kids in the house. I bought this title because I enjoy pilates and because the video got some good reviews. Generally, I'll enjoy a workout video full time for a couple of months before becoming bored with it and moving onto something else. This video left me yawning from the getgo! Yes, the scenery is pretty, but Suzanne's voice is monotone and uninspiring. Her poses are technically correct, but after one hour (YES ONE HOUR!) of trying to figure out her unclear instructions, you won't even feel like you got a workout. I'm trying "Minna-Optimizer Strength and Grace" next. It might not be any better than Suzanne's video, but it certainly couldn't be worse. Save your money!

skip this product
We had designed a 6,000 sq ft. house using version 3. We loved the program. But we decided to upgrade to version 5 to get some more advanced features while finalizing the design of the house. What a waste. First, it is not backward compatible so we cannot transfer any of the prior work to it. Second, while it would run on my desktop, it would not run on our laptop. It would crash the system. Their support desk could offer no solutions. Third, where the old program was very intuitive, neither my wife nor I could make any sense out of the new navigation system. She finally uninstalled the new version and went back to the old version. Skip this product.

INTERESTING CONCEPT
Two teen girls are blind orphans by day. At night they regain their eye sight for hunting. They are apparently frequently killed and part of the film is flashbacks to previous lives, the first of which was extremely boring with no dialouge, just music. They are adopted by a rich elderly doctor.The girls wear Catholic girl outfits, frolic in the graveyard, and even partake in dog's blood. In one scene they dare each other to stand naked outside their adopted father's window. They believe they were once ancient Aztec/Inca goddesses. The dialouge is culturally odd in the translation as the girls are described as "so sweet, so pure, just like the sisters of baby Jesus." Another bit was "all gods are real because they are imaginary."The movie was artsy and not a real horror style vampire film. As an art film, I failed to grasp the message.Lame sound track. No f-bombs, no sex, some nudity. Neither erotic or scarey.

does not stay on the fridge!
I loved the idea of having something on the fridge to occupy my little one when I'm in the kitchen. He loves to stay in the kitchen and very interested in things on the fridge. However, this toy did NOT stay on the fridge so it killed the purpose. It seems that the magnets are not strong enough to carry its weight. In addition, my son likes to interact with toys. This one did not offer much because there is only one button that activates the music which makes it pretty boring for my son. The lights are fun to watch because they light up according to music, which I liked. But again, there is not much to engage little ones except for sitting in front of it and watching how lights changes to the music. My son is 11 month-old. For older boys it might be different. I would recommend visiting a store nearby and let your baby (and yourself) play with it to see if she/he would be interested in it. I returned it...

Where is an actual ninja movie?
Honestly... This movie as well as ninja assassin... is Terrible. Neither depicts the actual ninja. Just bullshit. This is a movie with terrible acting as all other negative comment says. However, they say "Ninja assassin" Is a better movie. Ninja assassin has better acting and better visuals. BUT NEITHER DEPICTS AN ACTUAL SHINOBI! They were men of stealth, sabotage, and concealment. All this bullshit about them being Killing machines get far to much attention from fools. I am american, But I am fascinated with the actual ninja. I am sick of this Bull shit where they put an english speaking person in a ninja scene. It is old, and should be dead. I want a ninja Movie that is historically acurate. One that isnt just a "Ninja" Cutting his way through a truck load of people then getting the girl. Its Stupid. A Stealth based ninja movie would be nice for a change.

Good Intentions, but not quite there yet
The Smith's offer the reader more to consider in the practices of discernment. Surely there are items in one's home that can be a defilement. The Smith's help point us in the direction in asking the questions, "is this worth keeping in my house?" Their writing made me ask myself that very question. And I was convicted of what to rid myself of.On the other hand, I feel that Smith's are a bit fanatical in their writing. The book sometimes felt more like a horror story. I admit that If I wanted to scare myself in a good ghost story, I would pick up this title and read it once again. (Remember the days when you sat in a darkened room with friends or siblings and tried to tell the scariest ghost story.) Spiritual House Cleaning did just that for me.As a previous reviewer mentioned, unquote, "they seemed to be conjuring the spirits themselves." Sometimes, I feel the Smiths were looking for ghosts. I say "don't mess with the supernatural!"

Good American Chan Movie
This movie is great. Simply hilarious. Chan and Tucker make a great team. I could not stop laughing.Now, as a Jackie Chan movie. . . That's another story. Jackie Chan fans who have seen most all of his Hong Kong movies (including "Accidental Spy") will be a little let down. U.S. directiors like to (or have to) crimp on Chan's style. The fights are shorter and less impressive (using more special effects than all his HK movie combined). Director Brett Ratner seems especially CRITICAL of Jackie's style. He directly critisizes the roof-top fight in "Who Am I?" as beeing too long and pointless. DUH! It's Chan! The fight itself was the point!Anyways, you'll find loads of fun behind-the-scenes stuff including interviews and making-of clips. You'll also find two "Lord of the Rings" trailers hidden in the scene selection area (this DVD was released before "LOTR" came out in the theaters).Over all a great DVD of a great movie, just not a great Chan movie.

Oh my God no! Not the song!!!
I hated Doogie Howser, always have. Harris is cursed for life with this character. Wherever he goes, whatever he does, he'll always be Doogie Howser. This season is as ridiculous and stupid as all of them. But the crowning jewel of all 80's stupidity, was the condom song.C'mon everybody sing along! "He's docta Doogie. doc docta Doogie!" Then Harris will look right at the screen with a stern look and preach about the dangers of sex. He then commands the viewer (you) to wear a condom.And every single damn episode he had to write in his computer journal. That heart tugging, tear jerking paragraph that was supposed to humble you and get you through the week. WRONG!!! I was a teenager when this show was on the air. I hated it then and I can't even enjoy it now. Stupid, lame show.

No lamp recieved
Can I put no stars?? Recieved the lamp promptly. It would not latch in the tv. Because of this the tv would not power up. I was told I needed to make sure it latched in place when I emailed. No kidding. I removed and installed the old lamp4 times it is not like it was hard to do. Then they told me I needed to reset the lamp timer after I told them the tv would not power up because the bulb was not latched. I am not sure how they thought I was going to do that and am still not sure how that would help the bulb to latch. Got an Return authorization paid $11 to ship it back and never heard from them again. Price is good and I recieved it right away but beware if your product is defective you may never see it.

What was WITH the ending?
This book was written for people who want books to end with nothing, so that they can come up with their OWN ending. I really enjoyed the book, yet it had potholes along the way. And it was also too unbelievable. I mean, what kind of people would send a girl to a detention camp for teens for wearing a red AIDS ribbon? I will admit this book had me reading nonstop, yet when i reached the end, I just got MAD. There is no ending; they leave. Never look back. Where are the characters going? And what about Toms other two friends,Silas and Avery, what will happen to them? This was a sad, dissapointing book with little truth whatsoever. Unless there is a sequel, I'll never understand this book.

NoFX is so bad. I'm not kidding. You can tell they really like punk rock, but they are nowhere near as good as their favorite bands, like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Youth of Today, etc. If you don't know who these bands are, then please check them out. You simply cannot be considered punk if you don't know who they are. The only reason this album gets two stars instead of one is We got 2 Jealous Agains and 13 Stitches. These two songs really reminice about the glory days of punk. Listen to we got 2... and buy all the albums mentioned. Also buy stuff by the Dead Kennedys, and Bad Brains, who for some reason were never mentioned on those songs, despite them being simply awsome. Nofx is stupid...listen to real punk!!! Black Flag, Minor Threat, Misfits, etc. thats the good stuff.

Young Stephen King fumbles his way into an epic
This was a disappointing book. Although people complain about Stephen King's need for an editor, I think he works best with 800-page novels. This one is too short. Roland the gunslinger is interesting, but his backstory isn't. I enjoyed reading about his adventures in the town of Tull, but I laughed reading about being trained by a tough old Yoda-guy in a castle. And why does Roland love the boy? There's no explanation. He just DOES. Surprisingly, the story picks up at the end. The train in the mountain and the mutants are good. So is the conversation with the man in black. It ends suddenly, but with a promise that the next installment in the series will be much better.

Esme and Cleavis are delightful!
Esme Crabb is dirt poor and lives in the mountains with her lazy father and two beautiful (but dumb) twin sisters. They are poor as dirt and Esme, the practical one, decides she needs to "marry up" with Cleavis Rhy in order to secure her family a real home and regular meals. Esme is not *really* manipulative, just desperate. She is warm, fun, earthy, and just what Cleav needs!Cleavis is the storekeeper and the richest man in town. On the surface, he is the perfect gentleman: polite, smartly dressed, upright, and uptight. Esme's first words to him, "You wanna marry me?", startle him. She distracts him with her forwardness and tempts him by constantly flipping up her skirts to adjust her sagging stockings. You see, Esme can't afford garters.This is a fun, warm, charming, emotional book. I enjoyed it tremendously and recommend it highly. I also recommend Courting Miss Hattie and Wild Oats.

Cool artifacts in interesting places
4 of 5 stars for the adventure movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets. This is the second installment of the Benjamin Franklin Gates story. Same basic characters as NT1 but a whole new story. Same formula, follow clues to uncover treasure. Of course there are rival treasure hunter on the same quest. In this case, the rivals want to prevent Gates from being successful for purposes of hiding the truth about a historical event. This treasure hunt has lots of good action, some surprises and some way-out-yeah-right things (such as, kidnapping the President of the USA). A very well crafted story with some cool artifacts that all leads to a great ending. I do highly recommend this movie; fun to watch; kid friendly (its Disney) yet adult interesting. I do like Cage in this role and hope to see more NT movies. Voight is OK in his role but not as strong as Cage.This is a great Saturday afternoon pass-the-popcorn movie.

Good Bond movie but drags at times
Licence To Kill is a pretty good movie but there are some low points to it. First even thogh this movie is PG-13 and violent most of the action really isn't that good. It is not hair raising like in most Bond adventures. It also really doesn't play like a normal Bond. It centers around Bond out to get revenge. And most of the time 007 is nice to his enemy. Also I thoght that the tanker chase would be good, but it is not much of a chase. But still I liked this movie. I like Q's extra large roll and Timothy Dalton as 007. Also I like the ending song. This Bond adventure is much different than others. There is no mission and a lot more violence and profanity than most others, that earned it a PG-13. I would still reccomend this to a 007 or action fan.

coolest, then dashed hopes, now tail spin
It WAS the coolest. Then on the 3rd day it stopped -- no clue. FAQs and self help on Creative's site eventually got me to download Creative's formatter software. I formatted it and it was back! But not for long. 2 days later it stopped again. This time it was worse. WinXP couldn't recognize it as a muvo anymore, only as some generic device. I formatted it again but "Format Failed" and the Muvo red LED when out. That was the end. Nothing I tried worked. It took two weeks to get an RMA from Creative using their self serve customer care web page. Since then I've been reading reviews from others having almost the exact same problems, one guy on this 3rd return which also eventually failed. Stay away from this product until they fix it.

Do NOT buy this thing
I recieved this thing last week fro my b-day. It is so not fun.The games are dumb and boring. It sorta teaches you how to care for a pet. But not really. And the first one I recieved broke the second day I had it. Then we went to exchange it and the second one broke right away! So again my mother took me to the store and we exchanged it. No this third one is broken and it is at the back of my closet. If I could I would give it a zero overall. Dont pay any attention to all the posotive reviews. Dont even look at these trashy things. Forget they were ever invented.

Oh please!!
I read this book, because I was really bored, and it was in that car. (We where going to Main, and my little brother was reading it). A mouse who can read, and falls in love with a princess named Pea? Come on!!!! I really can't read books like that. It was annoyingly "happy", "silly", and "fun". Then again it may just be me. If you have read any of my other reviews then you will see that I mostly read dark fantasy. Little talking mice, outlawed soup, and killer rats simply don't appeal to me. Then agin the suggested reading age is 6- 12, so that could also be it. Ok I'll stop now before I make anyone mad. Sorry but I just really didn't like this book.

contrived
does anyone in cross's family have any faults? why does the author tell us somthing, then repeat it in dialogue? where's the editor? the "twist" was weak, and the ending was so hollywood. too hollywood. alex solved nothing in this book. all infor was either handed to him, or some snitch popped up for unnanounced when it seemed all was lost. contrived. too many characters are introduced in a few pages. his daughters illnes came and went. contrived. and the short chapter thing sucks, especially when he breaks it off mid-scene. he's misusing and overusing that device.

Awsome Movie!
O.K. first let's talk Pierce. Extremly handsome and a wonderful Bond. TND was an awsome action movie with more action scenes packed into it than I've seen in many Bond movies. The one thing that upset me and why I didn't give it 5 stars was because it felt more like a typical 90's action movie rather than a sauve and sexy Bond movie. It just felt like it was missing a tiny bit of the bond recipe, like a dash of pepper or lemon or something like that. I loved Michelle Yeoh, she is the best Bond girl I've scene yet. Fits in perfect at a party or a shoot out. Totally capaple of living on her own but wouldn't mind a rough British (Not to mention sexy) British agent following her around. Awsome Movie!

Warning, do not watch!
This film is bad on every level. It makes an episode of Scooby Doo seem high-end. It could be an example of what not to do when making a movie. I felt ripped off of my time and money. Anyone giving this film a positive review is either blind and deaf or an investor in or associated with the movie in some way. Yes, it is that awful. It is not even a complete film. The Director has to show the SAME scenes over and over again, and some scenes are shown running BACKWARDS to fill the 110 minutes ( I am not making this up ). The plot is so convoluted, poorly written and boring you end up feeling sorry for the actors. The real title to this thing should be " Shoot me first and pray I don't live to the end of the film ". Save your money and go to You Tube, the entertainment value is better.`

A book by Coulter called Slander?
Now that is funny. With all the accuracy of a scud missile, Coulter uses broad generalizations to paint a picture of liberals that is laughable. "Liberals hate America." "Liberals hate The flag." "Liberals hate Christ." "Liberals make coats out of dalmation puppies." Blah, blah, blah. What is a liberal you might ask? Well, pretty much anyone who disagrees with Ann Coulter. Now figuring out what Coulter actually believes may be a bit of a challenge. I'm not sure what she really wants because she seems to be opposed to things but isn't in favor of much other than being the current administration's lap dog. Coulter projects to liberals the things that she deep down sees in herself in this book. This book is an interesting psychological study about "Narcissist Personality Disorder" because Coulter is a classic case (see the definition in DSM IV and decide for yourself). Amazing that she has been able to make a living off her own imbecility.

OXO Ice Cube Tray
Total piece of crap. At $9:00 when I bought it in June of '12 it was defective. Now, for a dollar more, and an month later, OXO has fixed the product after discovering how bad the first version sucked. Last OXO product I'll ever buy. Is all their stuff impulsively designed, produced, sold and then improved based on the failure of the first version? Don't buy this thing. If you do, you'll be sorry. OXO says, "DirectionsTo Fill: Remove lid and fill tray with water. Place tray on countertop, and steady tray with one hand while sliding the lid back on. To Release: Twist tray to loosen ice cubes. To dispense cubes, slide lid until the desired number of cubes are fully exposed. Turn tray over to release cubes." They can't even tell the truth when their write about the crap they make!

What the heck?
I'm so glad I didn't pay for this disc, instead checking it out from the my public library. The first track, "Caruso", had me thinking I was playing the wrong CD. It's not so much that it's electronic accompaniment. It's really bad synthesizer music. Horribly bad. Inexcusably bad. Cheap-lounge-singer-who-can't-afford-a-piano bad. That train wreck of track sets exactly the worst tone, destroying the mood for the rest of the album. If it weren't for some of the later selections from La Bohème and L'Elisir d'Amore, this CD would be a total loss. Even then, these gems are completely drowned in a gushing flow of treacly Italian "classics" apparently aimed at a certain demographic of blue-haired, tittering Pavarotti fans. I don't mean to sound like a snob. It's just the bad vibe from that first track rattling me. My advice: get it from the library and listen to your favorites. Avoid everything else on pain of intense aural assault.

AMY LYNN BEST EGO-FEST
This is another movie within a movie. Normally these things are done rather poorly. This film has gone to extraordinary lengths to make those poorly done films look great. A film crew is at a Halloween style haunted house to film a no-budget slasher movie. What you see are many interviews with the cast and the director with an over abundance of director's commentary, the stuff normally left for the director's commentary extra in the DVD. While we are getting bored to tears, a man in a mask is killing off the "actors."We see so many fake killings in the movie, the "real" ones are anti-climatic. What is really amazing about this DVD is they had a bonus section of "deleted scenes" and "outtakes." After considering the movie, I thought "How could something be so bad that they could have deleted it?" If they were going to delete anything it should have been the part when the big butt director bends over. Just a sad movie all around.F-bomb, brief nudity, girl-girl, spanking.

Boring...
Yet another linear, mediocre fantasy book. Add it to the others of its kind from David Eddings and the like. Definitely not in the same league as Tolkien, C.S.Lewis or a few others. The plot is like a Sydney Sheldon novel for "kids". The Church is the evil empire (!) in a paralell universe, and also, as we find out in later books, in our world. The plot moves only in one direction, and you can identify each of the author's afterthoughts as he tries to make it coherent. Is he really trying to sell us his subversive view of christianity as the equivalent of evil and ignorance ? If so, he fails miserably in my view. The characters are blatantly one-dimensional, you close the book and forget their names, and will not feel endeared to any of them. They are not lovable, they are just there, like the zombies and specters in his books, devoid of any life of their own. My strong recommendation: rather than reading this stuff pick your old copy of The Lord of the Rings and read it again...

Disappointed....
Motorola has been a leading cell phone manufacture. But I am disappointed with this phone. Some of the features are not working properly. There is display delay of 2 seconds. Some button presses do not respond all the time. The display quality is not good as Samsung or Sony phones. The sound quality is replaced by a cheap DSP... It is larger than same priced Samsung phone, and a small drop will kill the phone. I had Samsung, Nokia, Sony, and Motorola phones for past 10 years or so. By far this is the most fragile phone. I like the flip phones. If you want a flip phone with good reliability and features, GET the SAMSUNG phone...... I am very supprised that Motorola does not offer any blue tooth phone either. They are behind in technology.

Indukti - Fantastic Debut That Should Appeal To Fans Of Tool, King Crimson or Riverside
I don't really know a lot about this band. The name sounds Japanese but they hail from Poland. This is a really killer album of great instrumental and vocal material. Mariusz Duda from Riverside guests on vocals here, and fits in perfectly with the band's style. Indukti are most often compared to a mix of Tool and King Crimson. The band defiantly shows an influence by both of these bands with the complexity of Crimson mixed with the more modern sound of Tool. I would think fans of either band would enjoy this disc. S.U.S.A.R. is mostly instrumental with only two vocal tracks. Along with traditional rock instrumentation the band also incorporates violin and harp. The musicians are all top shelf and the compositions multifaceted yet melodic. Indukti are a great young band to keep an eye on and I highly recommend this release.

Wow, our first LDS reality movie! Funny
The Single's Ward is much like God's Army. If your in a singles ward, you know what It's really like-outrageously funny. The movie is cheesy in a good way and fun for all ages. Perfect YM/YW activity. If you don't have Single's Ward than don't borrow it, just buy it right now-it's a keeper. I can't wait to see RM.It really is a well produced movie with great actors. Like I say, it's just like real life. It's serious, educational, life like, but still funny the whole time. You'll have to see it to believe it.Another great part is the music remixes. Even for the elderly-I think it will get them to laugh or at least a bit confused. I cried in God's Army, so take it from that point of view. When you watch it...don't miss the part when the elder who passes away in God's Army is seen in Single's Ward. Also you recognize a former BYU football player.5 stars and no regretsAll right, you've gotta see it-I've certainly said too much being a deacon!

i dont see what the big deal is
maybe reading flyy girl first, this book didnt really do it for me. everyone is fascinated like, ooh did you read this and read that. it was very good though. her mother had her when she was 14. i can hardly get over that. anyway its about how she lived a pretty good life. her father was a drug lord then something happened and he ends up in jail, her mother becomes a crack head and she goes from the top to the bottom, climbing her way back to the top then gettin put back in jail. althought this book didnt really do it for me, it was good. i know that probably doesnt make sense. she got by, regardless of what situation she was put in. so i recommend reading this book, you were anyway. :)

A MUST HAVE for anyone with PD or their Family
My beloved Father has had PD for 5 years now. Initially we just trusted his neurologist for treatment guidance. When the disease progressed over time and the Dr's really didn't seem to do much I committed myself to getting educated about the disease. This book is by far the best I have read, the most comprehensive and the best directives I have seen. The only thing he maybe does not emphasis enough is how important it is for someone to be very involved and committed to med's. You must experiment with them to find the best fit. For us, the right dosage for CArba/leva dopa is the key.(the yellow pill) THIS BOOK IS AWESOME, and I'm grateful to have found it. This Dr spent a huge amount of time and energy putting together this book after years of experience treating patients. It is clear and makes so many things clear and easy to understand. THANK YOU DOCTOR FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!

A long awaited disappointment
I am the biggest and most loyal TFF fan there is, but this cd is an uninspired stinker. In my opinion, every TFF album was wondeful up until Elemental (the jewel in the crown, I believe). But then came Raoul...not a big thrill. And then Roland's solo album - yuck. And now this one. It really bums me out. Roland is a dark, layered, brooding talent, with a magnificently angst-ridden/melancholy voice...and yet he is putting out these lame songs. No doubt that the mastering is brilliant, and that these songs are all put together well, but the songs are tired, soulless. He does sound beautiful on many of them, but there is no thrill. There is no going back for another listen and hearing something for the first time. I feel like that with Elemental, with Seeds, and even with the others.But I doubt I'll be going back to Happy Ending in search of anything. And that makes me sad.

Some Good Things, but Too Many Bad Things
I got this set and 1 extra handset for a total of 3 phones. For the price, the voice quality just isn't there. It's not that it's terrible - just not as clear as my old 900 MHz phone. It also doesn't have the range that my old one did.There is also a "Feature" on this phone that will be the reason I send it back. When you have multiple handsets the phones only recognize that you answer a call on the handset you use. In other words, if you answer a call on one handset all the other handsets display that you missed the call. It doesn't know that you answered the call on the other handset. If you don't use a handset for a couple of days, you go to pick it up and it says you missed 15 calls... What? Oh... I just missed them on this handset. I called Panasonic and was told that this is a "Feature", and they could not change it.There are some nice things about the phone, but there are also some "Features" I can do without.

EXCELLENT NEW EDITION TO THIS SERIES
Besides being well written, this is one book in this series by Patricia that has been greatly improved with the "new" covers. Why not make a good book better!? (I vote for that.) Another series, by Patricia, that has been improved, is her "Polk Street School" Series. The new covers are beautiful, and children can identify with the books, and lessons from them. So far, the "new and improver" covers are: 1. December Secrets 2. The Beast in Ms. Rooney's Room 3. Fish Face 4. The Candy Corn Contest 5. Dinosaur's Paw, The Valentine Star, & Snaggle Doodles Are Coming Soon. (They're worth waiting for!) Enjoy!

Best bang for the buck
I have had one of these for about 8 years. Bought it mostly for the ozone generator. I have asthma and am very sensitive to odors, mold, and dust. The ozone works good, but must regulate its use. Works like chlorinating your water. Kills and sanitizes bad things, but too much is bad for you too. But Ozone is very unstable and quickly disappears in minutes. The unit has strength and timer settings. Set the timer when you leave for the day, come home to a fresh no odor home. I also run good filters in my central heating/air system and leave just the fan portion of the system running continually. This combination has worked the best for me.

Avanti offers No Help.
This machine was bought at P.C. Richards less than 2 years ago. It worked fine until the agitator broke. Past the warranty time, I called upon Avanti's "customer Service" to seek help in any direction. The girl who answered the phone in Miami (800-220-5570) assured me that she could not help in any way except to give me a couple of numbers in my area of washing machine repairers who may or not be able to repair the machine. I said, "Avanti sells these machines with no back-up help"? She basically agreed. Nice woman but no help. Even if my husband could fix the machine, there is no place to order the parts. We called the local repairers and they said they don't repair "Foreign machines".Beware the machine worked great but if it breaks what to do? What a scam.We are out $[...] bucks within 2 years. NO machine. No help. Don't buy it.

Worth Every Penny
I bought this vacuum for my sister, who is a neat freak. We live together and I have a large dog who sheds a LOT. This was my peace offering to her for tolerating the pet hair. The vacuum is small but powerful. It is AWESOME at picking up dog hair, grit, and all other dirt. It's easy to use, easy to empty the dirt bin, and has been worth the price tag. We have ALL hardwoods in our house, with linoleum in the kitchen and area rugs throughout. This makes cleaning the floors so much faster than sweeping the hard surfaces with a broom and vacuuming the rugs separately. The DC18 picks up equally well on both and saves time. My sister was annoyed that I spent so much when I gave it to her, but she was quickly converted and LOVES this vacuum now... I am going to have to buy one for myself when we go our separate ways this summer.

Engaging - more Boleyn, please
First off, I'm not a history buff. As much as I enjoy studying many subjects, I've never enjoyed studying history. And I've rarely read historical fiction. Yet on the recommendation of a friend, I picked this one up. I could hardly put it down. Told through the voice of Mary, "the other Boleyn girl," this story is a fictionalized interpretation of the story of Mary & Anne Boleyn during the time of their involvement in the court of Henry VIII. I found the storytelling to be enthralling, and the descriptions of the splendor and at times viciousness of the English court to be intriguing. And I may have even picked up a little history along the way. Other reviews I've read here state that there are a number of historical inaccuracies in this book. I'll take their word on that. However, this book has not only entertained me, but has also piqued my interest. I now find myself wanting to find a good nonfiction account of this historical period.

Wow, that was unexpected.
I picked up this book at the library and i was highly skeptical. I was reading through it, looking at the pictures this guy uses to help you remember the kanji. I thought it was really stupid. I set the book down and started reading other books on japanese i had checked out. Poop on me, it works. I reluctantly learned from this book. I dont know why. I just remembered all the meanings because the explanations were so weird. Oh well, go with what works. I wish that he put more effort into the translations though. He needs to have it so we can look at the kanji, and instantly know what it means in english and the one wayto say it in japanese. Otherwise, very strangely good.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for.....
I love everything about this dvd. It's simple, quick, not so easy...but that's exactly what I wanted. Something that I will feel in the morning. The dvd menu allows you to pick which part of your body you want to focus on, so far I've only chosen the lower body and for that they suggest you use two 3 pound weights. I have two 10 pound weights instead. If you desire to do more then 10 minutes you can always replay the routine or move on to another routine that focuses on another part of the body. I am not extremely overweight. I just have 10-15 lbs that I would like to shed and I also desire to tone up and this dvd is perfect. Also, the lady that directs the workouts isn't annoying at all and there's nothing cheesy about the workouts or the people in the dvd....like many workouts out there that tend to look really ridiculous and outdated. The routines are easy but very effective. Overall, I think this is the only workout dvd that I will need.

WARNING! DANGEROUS!!!
I would like to say this thing is DANGEROUS. I used one on my nose and the spring broke sending part of it LIKE A NAIL GUN into my nose! Blood streamed out like I've never seen before. I was ready to call 911 but I eventually got the bleeding to stop. I just want to warn people DO NOT use this thing near your eyes, ears or nose. I was lucky that I didn't lose hearing or eyesight (can only imagine someone using it on eyebrows or ear hair. The spike (broken spring) did sink a good 1/4" to 1/2" into my skin. It was a very scary experience from such an innocent looking device. It needs a redesign just to prevent the spring from shooting out if it breaks. Not worth the risk!!!

I finally understand.
After some experience programming in C++, my big lament is that there are certain aspects of the language that don't stick with me and that I have to look up every time. There are also certain other aspects whose purpose is not altogether clear. I found Brian Overland's book reached its goal of explaining C++ in plain English. I finally understand a whole host of things that mystified me before. It is also a useful reference. It seemd that as I was reading, questions would come to mind. As though Brian had anticipated the logical quetion, he would usually answer it in the next paragraph. Regarding shortcomings, there was a place or two where the English got a little to plain, to the point of tediousness, but this didn't happen much. Also, the book contains numerous typos and at least one or two serious technical errors. These should be corrected in subsequent editions. I hope that Brian writes more books, perhaps about MFC programming.

Unique Format & A Great Book
A wonderful book about an AMAZING FAMILY. The book does not preach or teach about disabilities. It is not about what she can not do. It is a book about what you CAN do. In my opinion, this is the story of one family and their quest to take care of one another and do right by their family and each other. I love the format of the book. Brooke & Jean take turns writing about similiar events that they encountered during this ten year time frame. (Very hard to get too in-depth and too detailed when writing about such a large time frame.) I have read this book to my 6th grade students (a great example of point of view and perspective since two authors are writing about the same experiences.) A great book for mothers to buy for their daughters or vice versa. (And as always, the book is much better than the movie.) I highly recommend this book.
