2 | Goldfinger is still one of the best!! | Goldfinger continues to be one of my all time favorite bands! They combine a great mixture of punk, ska, and hard rock in just the right proportions. Also, every song is very distinct, unlike a lot of blink182 songs and such. My only complaint with the cd is that it is too short! The music is still awesome, though. This is probably not their best cd, but any goldfinger fan should have it. Most of the stuff is more melodic than stomping ground, but there is still some harder stuff in 'Open your eyes.' This cd is best compared to 'Hangups'. I still think stomping ground is their best work, followed by their self-titled album. Anyways, I hope this review is helpful! Have a great day! | 11 | [

2 | Great wrenches, storage a challenge | I have Bondhus metric and english allen keys that I've had for over 20 years and they have been fantastic. Recently I needed longer reach and ordered the T-handle metric set. The wrenches are substanial and very well made. They ship in a cheap clear vinyl divided pouch and with the black plastic stand shown in the photo. The stand is riveted to the clear vinyl pouch where you are supposed to use screws to screw the stand to a bench or shelf. When I tried to remove it, one of the posts on the black plastic stand broke so I can only mount the stand with one screw. I could blame myself for that breakage, but the posts are pretty flimsy, and the rivets used were crazy strong.The stand itself is not in the same class as the wrenches. Pretty thin plastic. Also, the stand is pretty large, I'd estimate 6 inches wide and 10 inches deep. Certainly larger than I expected.Overall love the wrenches, hate the stand. But I didn't buy it for the stand so hence the 4 stars. | 11 | [

1 | Great show, horrible DVD set | I watched this show online when it was on the air. The show was great.This DVD set, however, is the worst DVD set I have ever had the displeasure of trying to watch. The sound is awful. It's very hard to hear what the characters are saying over the background noise and music. The video is very grainy and it looks like someone filmed it with a cheapo home video camera. The lights are too bright, and the darks are muddy and hard to distinguish.I know this show looks and sounds better then what is represented on this set. Someone decided to re-release this to make a quick dollar and screw over consumers. Do not buy this set. You will be sorry. I am. This show deserves a much better release. | 11 | [

2 | A Brilliant Book by a Brilliant Man | "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" is simply one of the best books I've read. It's funny, witty, informative, and interesting. But most of all, it's entertaining.Despite my utter infatuation with this book, I believe a "Reader Beware" is in order: To truly enjoy this book, I would suggest that you have at least some interest in science. Feynman's antics aren't difficult to understand, but if you don't like science, you might feel a bit on the outside of some inside jokes.As for the accusations regarding Feynman's arrogance, they're not unfounded. But it boils down to this: a smart guy poking fun at some dumber guys. I found it funny. Some people don't. If you've never giggled in class when someone gave a really dumb answer to a question, you may not enjoy this book.Overall, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" is an excellent piece of literature. It's an incredibly fun read. | 13 | [

2 | One of Takahashi's best. | Even though I've already written a review for Inu-Yasha, volume 5 was so great that I had to write another one! In this volume, we learn a lot more about Inu-Yasha personally. The first story arc deals with a little problem of Inu-Yasha's that occurs at every new moon ^_^;. I don't want to give it away, but I will say that his gentler, more sensitive nature is revealed. In the second story line we learn a lot more about Inu-Yasha's *real* relationship with Kikyo.This book was fantastic. Takahashi really knows how to tug at your heart strings. She's been called the "Queen of Romantic Comedy," but my name for her is the "Jane Austen of manga." Like Jane Austen, she writes tender love stories that involve you to the very end. I can't reccommend this manga highly enough. The only problem is how long it take for the next volume to come out! Volume five ended in a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to find out what happens. | 11 | [

2 | Even chamomile tea can taste GREAT :) | In the past I never thought that there could be so much difference between tea and tea. I had noticed Might Leaf teas for a long time but mainly because of their name. I thought that it is a clever name. Typically we don't think of leaves as mighty (maybe the trunk of a plant but not the leaf).Then one day I found myself with an upset stomach in a coffee shop. Coffee was not an option so I was asking for Chamomile Tea. Indeed I was offered Chamomile Citrus from Mighty Leaf and fell in love with it right away, never mind my upset stomach. Since typically chamomile is my least favorite tea I tried the other flavors too. My absolute favorite is Green Tea Tropical. Summing it up: Mighty Leaf delivers tea the way it ought to taste. Once I drank it I understood why people have been drinking tea for thousand of years. Highly recommending - all flavors. | 11 | [

1 | Wish "ZERO" stars was an option... | There HAS to be a design flaw with this machine. I mean, how complicated can a coffee maker be? My first pot? Coffee all over the counter. WHAT? So, I get out the book. Verified it was set up correctly, used the right filters, settings, pot positioning, lid lined up just right, check check check. Next pot? Same thing. All over the counter. WHAT? So I take it apart, re-verify and do it all again. Guess what? Coffee spills out all over as it brews. Now this is just plain stupid - I don't care how hot it's supposed to keep coffee. If nothing ends up in the pot, does that feature really ever matter? | 16 | [

2 | How Can Burger Boy Improve his Diet? | My Head Start class agreed for a healthy body, Bennie needed to eat more veggies, more fruit, less burgers (bread & meat) and drink milk! I included this book in our study of "Healthy Eating." There was an extended discussion on the amount of lettuce on the hamburger and if it was enough to make a salad. The decision was it was only one veggie and salads contain more than one veggie. One student said, "Bennie should listen to his Mama!"We cut food from the grocery sale paper and pasted the items on a plate. We made burgers from construction paper - toppings and all and glued the burger to the plate to show Bennie how other foods from the food pyramid would look with the burger. They also dictated a few comments for Bennie. This sort of evolved and was fun to see how the story connected with each child. I recommend this book! IVR | 11 | [

1 | Light reading | This book takes you through the different regions of Portugal, their places of interest, food, life style and types of property. It does so in an easy-to-read, chatty way. The author travels with her husband. 'My husband and I' are often mentioned. They do a three-week train journey in northern Portugal and are invited to the Portwine Institute in Lisbon. The personal touch extends to socialising with the locals and expats.How to go about buying property is explained, but advice can be a bit basic. Some is just common sense, like to find your property you look for it in local newspapers or the Sunday Times property supplement for places abroad. There are vocabulary lists with Portuguese words. On page 87 there is an overview of the purchasing process. This is useful, but it can also be found in other books. The thing is that we are spoilt for choice with so many books coming out on buying property and living in Portugal, some very good indeed. | 11 | [

1 | Survival food | Not too good. May be good if squeezed dry and added with mayo + crunchy veggies into tuna salad. I had this + crackers and the flavor was quite overwhelming. Very lemon pepper?!!?? Ha ha ha. I know, it is very lemon pepper but it is quite intense. I'll try as the base of a tuna salad, it may be better, but I think I'll sick with my plain ole' tuna. Worth a try if you are looking for something different, just not for me though. Texture was nice. Not to clumpy, but not overly processed and fine. Not terribly mushy. | 11 | [

1 | omg & wtf! | i bought this dvd set at a huge discount. i remember the series was out years ago and never followed it. and i got to say, what a mess. although based on a graphic novel, or comic, it seems like oliver stone's answer to Twin Peaks that finished up earlier. stone was clearly trying to imitate Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet and bombed in so doing. i'm amazed at how many positive reviews this has. none of the actors were strong, the music was over dramatic, using everything from Bethoven's 7th to the Animals and Rolling Stones. angie dickinson as a thug? come on! it was embarrassing to watch her: gouge someone's eyes out, bitch slap and gut punch another. cattrell was equally miscaste and her dramatic cry of "it's my baby!" was laughable. in trying to be bizarre, it failed miserably. there isn't any level that i would recommend this series. buy it used if you must waste your money. | 15 | [

1 | Poor customer service, product defective | I wouldn't buy anything from this company. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. I got the product working (despite the unbelieveably poor documentation), but the output on my monitor showed ghosting and poor image quality. I called them and after waiting almost an hour on hold they said "swap the cables and call us back". At least that's what I think he said --- he barely spoke English. I tried their recommendation and it made no difference. Called them back and they said the product was defective after asking me 8 or 9 completely rediculous questions. Said I should ship it back to them (at MY cost) and they would ship me a new one in "a few weeks"! I told them I didn't think that was a very good policy (I'd only had the product 2 days), and that if that was their policy I wouldn't buy their products. They said "Your Choice, goodbye". That was it. Well I DO have a choice and you do too! | 12 | [

2 | Buy this mouse | If a mouse can be amazing, this one is. When I got it I never thought it could make this much of a difference. It works smothly and flawlessly. The fact that it is cordless makes zero effect on performance. The only complaint is that the right click button is too small. I used to have a MS Intellimouse and my middle finger would hang over the side of the mouse to right click. On this mouse there is dead space there. I guess I will get used to it. There is only one additional button from a normal mouse on the left side. I have mine set to be an internet back button. I guess it is usefull, but I could live without it. The batteries last forever and there is plenty of warning when they are about to go. In short, a great product... | 13 | [

1 | What a joke! | Having read several of Cornwell's books in the past, I was anxious to start this one. I'm so sorry I ever picked it up. Every character was so stereotypical and contrived, I wanted to throw up. The whole book was like a very bad cartoon. And the ending was a total mess!! The worst of it was the ridiculous notion that Niles, the cat, was not only interpreting the criminal goings on at USBC, but was trying to get his powerful(NOT!), no-nonsense(confused, hormonallly challenged) owner to understand his three syllable meows (which of course she does) and the meaning behind him dropping panties and money on her face as she slept. What the hell? The only thing worse would be a movie from this script. Or a follow-up novel. Or warts. | 11 | [

2 | I loved The Bonesetter's daughter | This is a wonderful new book by Amy Tan. I was intrigued just by the title. The bonesetter is a doctor who creates powders and potions using dragon bones to heal ailments. I love reading about Chinese women too. This is the reason I bought this book. Luling is a strong woman who raises her daughter Ruth by herself after outliving 2 husbands. Luling is the daughter of a mute nursemaid whose identity is unknown to Luling until after her death. I loved reading about how Luling grew up in an orphange. She finds love and a vocation in the orphange. This is probably the most touching part of the book. Ruth Young is a ghostwriter who takes on the responsibility for her mother's care after she develops Alzheimers disease while juggling her career and other demands. This is a very enjoyable book. | 12 | [

2 | Iron Maiden Is BACK! | What can I say? The Mighty Maiden has done it again. "Dance Of Death" is simply put a "classic." The songs "Dance Of Death", Paschendale", and "Montsegur" are epic classics. Every song top to bottom is amazing. This album is remeniscent of old Maiden material. This is what metal is supposed to be. Heavy! Blazing guitars, pounding drums, and the soaring vocals,of the one and only, Bruce Dickinson. It doesn't get better than that. Buy the album you will definetly will not regret it. | 11 | [

1 | Great Books But Print Is Too Small To Read | I am so annoyed. What are these book companies thinking? The print is way to small. How can anyone read these tiny print books? Is the book business so bad that they have to print smaller to save a few pages? How much can a page and a little extra ink cost? Twenty cents? I don't buy any books that are tiny print and returned them as soon as I opened it.Note to publishers: We'd buy a lot more books and read a lot more if we could actually read the words. 90% of all books are tiny type and I'm just not buying books or even attempting to read them when they're so tiny. I squinted through a few Agatha Christies but I can't take it anymore. My eyes hurt from squiting and I'm a young person too! | 11 | [

1 | I'm very disappointed. | Silent Mobius is a story about a team of women that fight monsters. It's like a lame version of Bubblegum Crisis. The things I don't like about this anime are:1: The animation is bad. It's an older series, but the technology for way bTetter quality existed at the time.2: The story had a good initial idea, but was not carried out in an interesting manner.3: The characters. There were several characters with potential, but they weren't developed well enough to make you care about them.4: Bad voice acting. The characters didn't have any emotions visible in their speech.Adding all these flaws together I was very disappointed by this series. If you're still curious try watching it on youtube. Definitely don't buy w/o watching first. There are people out there that like this series. This is just my opinion. So you may want to give it a shot. I hope you like it. | 12 | [

1 | This is just the demo right? Right?! | It's a trick, get an axe! I just bought it. Save yourself the heart-ache. Sierra is obviously having some problems, and this is not pretty. Just say, "No." Don't make me say I told you so. Buy StarCraft by the same company. Buy Lords of the Realm I, II, or the Siege Pack. Try HomeWorld. They didn't finish this game and released it anyway. It is so bad, you'll just about cry. Hint: If it was 1987, I'd give it a 4. And, I'm not just writing for fans of first person shooters. Oh, those people will climb the walls. RTS people won't like this either. | 15 | [

2 | Yup. The best. | I bought the vinyl album back in the 80s, and my whole family came to love it. I transferred it to cassette tape, with a big drop in quality, but we still listened to it every Christmas. Then I tried to order the CD, but found out it was out of print, nowhere to be found. Transferred the cassette to CD, but the sound was so muffled, I never used it. I grieved. I checked every six months...and...nothing.Finally, just this month, I discover it's been re-released! What joy! Downloaded it from iTunes. The advantage there is that I rearranged the Christmas songs into their original order, and stuck all the new tracks at the end. They're actually very nice, but it's good having the original order, too.It's way past Christmas, and I'm still listening to it! It's the best. | 11 | [

2 | better than 'last exit' but ultimately flawed | The CD starts out with an excrutiatingly awful "Shakedown"--equally as bad as Debbie's rap w/ the no-talent/has been Coolio. "Good Boys" however, is such a cool, slick Vice City-sounding dance track---the video's cool too. I wish there was more of that new-wavey, early 80's sound, that Garbage had perfected in the 90's, that was evident in "Undone". "Golden Rod" rocks!!! "Background Melody" shows a maturity in lyrics, and in Debbie's vocal range. Lastly, I agree with one of the earlier postings about "Last One In the World". The first time I heard it, I winced in embarrassment for Debbie. An awful, awful song. Verdict? A mixed bag of well-crafted songs that highlights the dreck of a few truly bad songs.P.S. Debbie, you look fantastic, but how about hiring a new stylist and ditching the headband & micro-mini's? | 11 | [

1 | So disappointed!! forgetaboutit!! | I had bought this Dior mascara thinking it would be as good as the first time I bought it a few years ago when shopping at Sephora cosmetics in the city. Wow, was I in for a disappointment! Originally it had given me full and long lashes with just a few applications. The best I ever used. That was over 5 years ago. I guess the quality has changed radically. I was so happy when it arrived but when I opened it up and began to use it I noticed right away that it seemed dried out and difficult to get any real mascara on my lashes. It took many, many applications just to get any noticable change. I bought a $7 dollar mascara at my local market chain that works 100% better then this $28.dollar junk. What a peice of......well, you know. Forgetaboutit! Keep your cheaper brand and don't buy this. I can't belive I threw away this much money on this stuff. | 13 | [

1 | Terrible Table | I bought this today from the blue home store. I returned it today too. I had the same problems others had with parts not fitting together. The whole thing was out of whack and when I tried to bend it so the legs would all touch the ground, (I didn't get them all to touch at the same time) the table was twisted so one side was leaning. Trying to make the table straight and the legs were all out of sorts. The cross braces have two holes for bolts on each side. One fit ok. The second, one side I could only fit one bolt through. There was no way the second was going to fit unless I drilled a hole. It was about an inch off. I thought I would manage with one bolt on that side of the brace, But after getting the thing put together and not getting it to set right I returned it. No money loss, but a lot of my time. I would give it a "0" if I could.I really wanted the wm 425 but one wasn't available. I will wait and think about this experience before spending more time and money. | 14 | [

1 | worst movie of the YEAR | Seriously, why didnt this go straight to video? Next to this, 'Snakes on a Train' is a must-see. Thats right, train, not plane. One positive though, this film didnt have guys dressed in monster suits like 'signs' or 'the village', yes, old Manoj Nelliatu Shyamalan actually went for some CGI this time, to make some wolves made of grass? What the...As for the plot, it seems like he made it up as it goes along. I'd compare it to a piece of flotsam drifting among the refuse and it's just so pointless, tedious, meandering, and STUPID. 'Scrunt'? 'Narf'? He must have borrowed those names from Dr Seuss and thought he could then call this a fairy tale. God what drivel. Whoever gives this 5 stars must have polygamist-size issues. | 11 | [

2 | I like this book because it did inspired me. | I like this book because it did inspired me. It showed other dimensions of the world. It recorded the feeling and lives of different characters. It's not about good or evil people and happy or bad ending. Life is much more complicated than Hollywood movies.The reasons that some readers may not get it are:1. The English translation.It has to do with English itself. Many slang and sayings cannot be translated directly. Comparing to Chinese, English has shorter history and less vocabulary. There are many sayings are hard to understand without the knowledge of the native culture and history. No matter how good the translator is, the flavor will lose greatly. Unfortunately, It happened to every English translated Chinese book.2. Few people can climb the high mountain.Few people can resonate with Einstein. Understanding a piece of good literature requires nothing less than understanding a good physics theory. | 13 | [

2 | Stellar Cast - a bit rushed at the end | I found this movie to be entertaining, and the cast is top notch. The story is all too real with the tough economy the U.S.A. has been going through. Having seen it now, the pace of the story seems odd. There is so much time spent setting up the story and introducing the characters, that the end seems somewhat rushed and they tried to tie it up in a neat little bow and that just didn't work for me. I expected a little more substance after seeing the trailer.It's about corporate downsizing, loyalty, family and friends. The story is compelling but doesn't quite go anywhere. They could have rewritten the last 30-40 minutes and answered lots of questions that are just left hanging. If the price is right, get it. I did like it. Just don't pay top dollar for it. It is a little flawed. The cast can make up for some of that however. They are great. One thumb up! | 14 | [

1 | I Cannot Believe This Movie Ever Saw the Light of Day | Not Another Teen Movie is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. This moive tries so hard to be scary movie it's just sad. Basically, what they are trying to do here is out-gross scary movie and rake in the profits that scary movie did. They succeeded in out-grossing scary movie and the result was just plain gross. Not Funny at all. Let me say that I liked Scary Movie a lot so let me put the speculation to rest that if you liked scary movie you will like this. That is wrong. Dead wrong. This movie is just plain embarassing. It's embarassing for the cast and the writers and anybody else who had a hand in this travesty.There were 3 or 4 funny parts that made me chuckle (hence my one star at all) but overall, if you own this film, you should bury it with a shovel then bury the shovel.Overall, extremely poorly written. The writers of this script hopefully will never be able to embarass hollywood like this again. | 11 | [

2 | My Wife's Favorite Film; BUT picture quality Flawed | Just arrived on DVD. Amazon experience is always wonderful.My beef is with Warner Brothers; regarding the print. I have ordered a lot of product from Amazon; both in CD's and DVD's and this is the first that came with a flawed picture. NOT Amazon's fault.On the upper left hand part of the screen you sometimes see what is a red X. Looks like fluff or dirt. Then you see (I think) more dirt. This time like a green piece of fluff on the lens.I gather this was taken from the VHS version and not cleaned up. Other than that it is everything my wife could desire. We just got back from Carmel and saw all the shooting locations. We loved it!!! | 11 | [

2 | critical distance | I've read most of the reviews here. They are little over done. But, this is a fine album. Lisa's band is tight and competent. The production and mixing of the CD are excellent. Lisa's voice, of course, is the highlight. Her voice is sublime and can send chills down my spine; vigorous, yet vulnerable. I was stuck on this album for quite a while and still enjoy listening to it from time to time. Her lyrics are one of the weaker points, though. It's not that they're bad, just not what they might be, sometimes confusing and, worst of all, sometimes trite and simplistic. Her sentiments are heartfelt, but her ability to capture them with words can still use some work. In any case, this album is well worth it. I was quite disappointed with her second album. She is a cutie, though, and that doesn't hurt. | 14 | [

2 | Great pencil sharpener | This pencil sharpener really will sharpen a hundred pencils in one sitting. I've never tried to sharpen 700 all in one day, let alone one sitting, but I don't doubt it. Surely, thoughthe person sharpening pencils needed to stop and go to the restroom or something a couple times giving the motor a chance to cool down. We've had a number of these sharpeners in the elementary school where I work, and they are awesome. Especially if you've never used a shapener that cost of $18.95. But it will break or wear out or whatever goes wrong inside. It's really frustrating to have the greatest pencil sharpener in the world quit on you. Without notice. I have mixed feelings about buying this one. I wouldn't mind a $18.95 sharpener breaking down on me near as much as having a $135 sharpener break down on me. It's discouraging to think that a pencil sharpener built like any army tank has plastic parts inside. | 11 | [

2 | MEGADETH REVIEW LONG OVERDUE!!! | I have been meaning to write this review ever since this C.D. came out but other things happen. Anyway, being a Deth fan ever since KIMB I would say that this is definitely Dave's best C.D. since RIP. You noticed I say Dave's best C.D. because I know that this C.D. originally was suppose to be a solo project under just his name. Being as he owed one more Megadeth C.D. then he had to wait. Anyway, back to the C.D. Having seen this tour I can say that KICK THE CHAIR is one of the heaviest songs to come out of Dave in a long time & it was refreshing to see Dave stick to what he knows best, the truth. The truth about his beliefs in politics, the truth about his religion & espescially the truth about how it was BACK IN THE DAY. I applaud Dave for this & knowing Dave's talent & his sincerity in everything he does so well I can feel good in knowing I can go purchase any C.D. he ever puts out without ever having to hear anything from it first. | 14 | [

2 | Honest, clean and pure music! | Venice is a band of four guys just making great music! Clean vocals in close harmony, supported by beautiful and honest guitarplay. No nonsense music from the Westcoast. Slow ballads, sometimes almost countryish, but also very solid and cutting the edge up tempo rock. Yet, this CD only contains 'em all in accoustic style. Recorded in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, for a TV show called 2 Meter Sessies.It's just great!This is what music should be. No stuff that don't matter, but just music. In a way Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young used to do. Or maybe the Eagles en the Beatles. There are all little pieces of it to be heared on the CD. Acceptable though, because it's sometimes brought with a wink, but seriously dedicated and full of sense and emotion. | 11 | [

1 | eveything sticks and it is teflon so you cannot clean it | This product looks really good, but it is terrible to use: it is supposed to be non-stick but *everything* sticks to it! I used the lowest heat settings on my stove and had to peel my french toast off it. It wasn't exactly burned -- it was just stuck to the pan. I tried to finish cooking the rest of the french toast and that stuck too. Once I was done cooking, the stuff stuck to the pan was burned and would not come off. I spent about 30 minutes cooking over 3 days and 3 hours cleaning. It is teflon so you can't use anything abrasive to clean it. I returned this and feel much better. AVOID!Next time I will buy a cast iron griddle/grill. Low tech and I know they will work. Something likeLodge Logic Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle | 11 | [

1 | Looks pretty in your kitchen but doesn't function too well... | My dad bought these knives from a Service Merchandise before it closed down. I think he payed about $100 on them. We have had the knives for about 2 years now. For some reason I am the only one to use them in the whole household. Otherwise they're up there for looks. I only hand wash them and I dry them right after they're washed. They seem to be decently sharp out of the box but nothing to rave about. I've noticed that many of these knives are rusting. This comes a surprise to me as they are supposedly STAINLESS. I've come to learn this is a problem with many cheap knife sets. I guess you get what you payed for. I would avoid these knives. Unless you want your kitchen to look good and you're never going to use them. Do yourself a favor and payup for a quality set that will last you years. | 14 | [

1 | Total Garbage | This book is complete garbage. I should have read the review before reading this book. It would have saved me some wasted time. I really don't know where to begin with how awful this book is. Jen Lancaster is patently unlikeable and the footnotes are ridiculous. It was a surprise to read her overly flattering descriptions of herself and compare them to the image in the book. What a shock! That itself was worth a good laugh, but that is the ONLY one. I suppose we are meant to believe that Jen is a worthwhile person by the end of the book. Afterall, she adopted a pit bull and drank boxes of wine. That was so brave and charitable. | 11 | [

2 | Note your model number! | Its funny that reviews are by nature open to mistakes. The review that the Aussie left certainly shows the way this works. Microsoft sold the M54-00001 bluetooth desktop set for quite a while, and there was quite a stir about problems, such as you read here. All those were called back from the stores and replaced with the updated (and now current) M54-00013 version which is soooo much better! The new one has been out only a few months, and the Aussie had his for 1.5 years! The bluetooth adapter is better, the timing is better, etc. The M54-00001's and other of their early kin are still available on pricewatch. They are much cheaper. STAY AWAY FRIM THAT MODEL!!! Instead, go for the updated M54-00013 instead. You'll be glad you did, because it has the feel of a professional keyboard with lots of bells and whistles. For more info, check Microsoft's web page (and read the fine print). Its too bad the name didn't change. My bet is that they were afraid of returns and exchanges. | 14 | [

2 | This camera is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! | I recently bought this camera as a bundle package with the Kodak PPM200 printer. After reading some of the reviews online both negative and positive I decided to give this package a try. I DO NOT REGRET IT!!!! The camera itself is very easy to use. The quality of the pictures are excellent. The printer is great, very convenient. NO need to upload to your PC. Just pop the flashcard into the printer and presto great quality pictures within minutes. You can upload to your PC with this camera but I found that since it has a serial port connection it can sometimes take up to 5 minutes but the solution is to purchase a flashcard reader. You uploads are instantly on your PC. I am glad I took the chance and bought it. | 11 | [

2 | Looking for love in all the wrong places | I am pleased that they have finally decided to release Cherry 2000. I watched this movie in the '80s and have was never able to find it on tape, the DVD. This movie is a love story set in the future. Where even holding hands takes a contract, so imagine a relationship. Our leading man has it all, the perfect job, home life and wife...But one day she short circuits and current technology has fallen on hard times, and no one can fix her. But he saves her memory. So the search begins in the wastelands of what was once the western USA, with a female tracker he hires. They find the precise robotic girlfriend... the love interests are there, but this is not just a chic flick. It is a chic flick for guys as well. The action scenes and futuristic backgrounds, along with the relationship between the two main characters make this an excellent movie. I highly recommend it. You will always remember Cherry 2000. | 12 | [

2 | Eddy Arnold/One of a Kind | I quite by accident discovered Eddy Arnold's latest and perhaps last CD, "After All These Years". I have been his fan all my life. Though his 87 years shows in his aging voice, he can still deliver the heart felt lyrics of a love song, or any other song for that matter. Now, what he has lost in range and technical ability, he more than makes up with a voice full of wisdom and experience. In short, he now knows what he's singing about, and it comes through. His voice is filled with emotion and character as he sings these songs, just perfect for him at this stage of his life. He can still deliver the lyrics in a way that makes you feel the emotion he is feeling as he sings. I hope he makes more CD's. I'll buy every one. He's the best sentimental love song singer ever, even at age 87. God Bless Eddy Arnold. He truly is one of a kind. | 12 | [

1 | I heard rumours he was a good writer..... | I read a lot of Mysteries and Thrillers by Connolly, Lehane, Burke, Hiassen, Sandford, etc., etc., and I have always heard very good things about LeCarre. While reading this book, I thought perhaps he was too "sophisticated" for my tastes, and that I didn't get it. Wrong. It was just tedious. LeCarre decides to change directions in the story, and does an exceptionally poor job of setting it up. Hey, lets just hop over to Russia from Turkey, and nobody will ever know we are there. Gimme a break. I was hoping in the end that everyone would get shot. I'd hate to think this book may reproduce a sequal. I'll stick to stories about good ole U.S. gumshoes and Florida freaks. Sophistication is not all it is hyped up to be. | 11 | [

2 | Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer | LOVE it! Great Product. It works well and my 6 year old son can use it by himself. I even took the temp under the arm pit and it showed the same temp or very close to it. It is fast and accurate and a wonderful buy! No troubles with it. I had to let it warm up from the outside cold when we got it and I put the battery in it. It was way below zero out. Once it warmed up to our indoor temp it worked great. Make sure to save the cap. It is easy to snap on and off and keep the cap to protect the sensor end. Make sure the cap is off before taking temp. My son even scanned it the opposite direction and it still gave very close readings. GREAT product! | 14 | [

1 | Good movie, terrible DVD | Let me say first that I really like this movie. It's entertaining and I like the casting. But the DVD is horrible and beyond cheesy. I bought it to replace a VHS copy. Forget "special" features - this DVD doesn't even have STANDARD features! About 1 hour and 15 minutes into the movie, it stops and YOU HAVE TO FLIP IT OVER! You've got to be kidding me! The "scene access" is poor, too. You can't jump to scene 3 if you want to - you can only skip to specific scenes: 5, 10, 15, etc. Finally, and this is minor but only proves a point, the case is cheap. It's not encased in plastic, it's just cardboard. Save your money and don't buy this DVD. | 12 | [

2 | Had to poo a lot | This book was very helpful to me. I have done the cleanse twice now for 10 days each time. The first day I crapped a lot and the second day too. But after that, my poo went back to normal. By the seventh day, I couldn't even smell it. I was using the herbal laxative twice a day. I am very obese but still am proud of my losing 27 pounds the first time and 21 the second. I have kept about half of it off, but have also found it easy to eat healthier. Prior to beginning he cleanses, I ate primarily steak, bacon and fried chicken with lots of cola soda and caffeine drinks. I feel like a different person and have more confidence. I think after the next cleanse I may even be able to start dating again! | 11 | [

2 | Quiet, good value, easy to use. | A really good design, easy to operate and great value. Some details:Quiet - don't worry about the "glugging" sound mentioned in reviews below. Yes, it does that: but you can reproduce it before you buy. Fill an empty large coke bottle with water. Hold it upside down a couple of inches from a bathtub - something where the water flow does not make a noise. The water glugs as the air bubbles in. That is the sound this thing makes. It never disturbs me. Also, the fan is quiet enough not to disturb a light sleeper, even on 'max.'Simple design - the water containers (2, each holds 2 gallons of water) can be refilled while the unit is operating.Filters - easy to fit/replace.Great buy. Glad to have it. | 11 | [

2 | Cavalli | I bought this for my husband for his birthday this year along with the matching shower gel. I had not smelled it before purchase, so it would be a surprise for both of us. I am pleased with it and so is my husband. This fragrance has an herbal, citrus, spicy scent to it. Very fresh smelling.I must say though that the bottle was a bit difficult to learn to use. It is encased in thick, hard plastic and it took us awhile to figure out exactly how to spray it. It is a neat bottle design, but somewhat confusing. We still have not figured out if the plastic casing comes off of the actual bottle or not. It seems like you would have to pry and break it to get it off, but at the same time seems like it is supposed to come off. We didn't pry it because we didn't want to break it. We had already applied a great deal of force and figured it would be best to leave it alone. If anyone else knows wether or not this casing is supposed to come off, I would love to know! | 12 | [

1 | Not the same product it use to be! | I have bought this product several times over the past 4 years. It had been my favorite vibrator after trying many! I have had several decadent indulgence 2 wear out and break. But, I love this vibrator so much that I keep replacing it. My most recent purchase, Dec. 2011, was disappointing. It is not the same vibrator as listed in the description. The company has changed the material that they use to make the shaft and rabbit with. It is a softer jelly and does not transmit the vibration like it use to. Also, the rabbit ears no longer have the textured nubs on them.

2 | Love this product for years!! | In my mid-20s, I started getting dermabrasion to get rid of acne scars, and my dr recommended this product for post-derm care. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and this product is wonderful! It isn't heavy at all, absorbs quickly, has a very light scent. Yes, its somewhat expensive, but it is worth every penny. A little goes a long way. I also use Phaze 1 (cleanser), 4 (exfoliant) and 16+ (vitamin C revitalizer). I've been using them for almost 8 years, and I haven't had to look for specialty creams (eye cream, wrinkles, etc) because I don't need them yet! I credit this phenomenol line with it! PS - I've shopped around for prices on these, and Amazon is almost always the best! And according to [...] cosmetic database, the Phaze 11 ranks a 2 (great score) for toxicity. Visit it at [...] | 11 | [

1 | Fan Fiction? | Maybe its the fact that I hold Dune to be the best novel I've ever read, maybe its Brian Herbert's different writing style. I don't know, but what I do know is that this book stunk. I forced myself to finish it. My first thought was that this book read like a star trek/star wars novel. And what do you know? It was co-authored by a novelist who has in the past written those kinds of books! It held none of the magic that the original Dune series. None. Not a drop. I'd only recommend this book to those of you who actually read the ENTIRE Dune series, but please..buy the paperback..it's not worth 25 dead presidents. Word to the wise, continuations of a series after the original author has died are bad ideas. (just look at the continuing 'Foundation' books by the 'estate' of Isaac Asimov) Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go hurl this book into the open desert and collect my water-debt from Brian Herbert's hide. | 12 | [

1 | Terrible | My wife is a native of Korea, and I got this to better communicate with her and her family. Each day I would go through a lesson and practice what I learned with her. But more than 70% of the time, she couldn't understand what I was saying. After getting across what I was trying to say, she said only someone born before 1930 would talk like that. I gave up after 10 lessons.There's also no mention of grammar in the lessons. Now I'm not looking for the intricacies of linguistics, but in Korean, the verb comes at the end of the sentence. This is never mentioned! Instead they force you to memorize backwards English, "Now say, I would like 2 beers - literally I 2 beers would." Very confusing. They also say, "Sometimes you add the ending 'ga' to the end of words", but they fail to mention when and why. I had to look online to find the answer.This is not a good place to learn Korean. | 11 | [

1 | filters DO NOT last 5 years | I bought two of these units in November 2010. In July 2011 both units began to emit a strong chemical odor. I contacted customer support and was told that I needed to replace the filters. I explained that the cleaners were not even a year old and the representative said it could happen and that the 5 year life for the filters depended on how hard they had to work. I have my house cleaned every 2 weeks and dust is not a problem. I do have a cat (part of the reason for purchasing these) but only 1 cat, not several. I think it is also very suspicious that the filters began to "fail" at the very same time. These units are not cheap and neither are the filters. Having to replace the filters, even at a pro-rated discount is too costly. I ended up spending another $250 for 2 new filters after less than a year. Do not be fooled by the 5 year filter claim. It is false advertising as far as I am concerned. I will not be doing business with this company again. | 13 | [

1 | Deceptive Arguments | This book is full of deceptive arguments. On chapter 3, which denounces evolution, the only "proof" is that the people who had proof for evolution lied. How convining. One chapter describes how the big bang must have happened. The Strobel exclaims "if the big bang happened, there must be god!". This book is very biased. It has shallow conclusions, unconvincing proof, and automatically thinks that just because a nobel prize winner believes in god, there must be a god. In addition, Strobel automatically implies that Christianity is the right religion. He doesn't mention other major god believing religions like Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sihkism, Shintoism, and dozens of others. Many other people go further into the flaws of this book. I suggest that you look at all the 1 star reviews first to get an idea of how misleading this book is. | 11 | [

1 | Do not waste your money...horrible customer service. | I have never written a review before, but feel compelled to do so after my bad experience with this company. I bought three units from Amazon about 2 years ago. Honestly, I am not sure if the units really work but the reason I am giving it a 1 star review is because of the conversation I just had with their customer service department. The woman didn't try to make suggestions as to why the red clean light came on; instead she told me I needed to purchase a $29.95 extended warranty for each of the two units AND pay $29.95 for each to be returned. No apologies; no standing behind the product. Just more money. I was furious and told her I would be writing a negative review on Amazon. Her response, was thank you very much. Ridiculous. Do not buy these machines. I wish I never did. | 11 | [

2 | Something different from Mr. Stewart | This CD is quite different from his first CD, "Blue Patches", which was all acoustic and mostly standards. "Penetration" is electric but still has a nice feel to it. (Loop drums are used, so if that's something you don't go for...) Amazon's description here doesn't list all the titles on the CD...here are the tracks: 1. Sass; 2. Some Will Dream; 3. Fields Of Gold; 4. Penetration (El Nino); 5. Diana; 6. My Funny Valentine; 7. Patmos; 8. Sarah; 9. Pavane; 10. Cat N Mouse. Al Jarreau sings an interesting version of "My Funny Valentine", but I would have preferred the warm and mellow version I expected. Still, I love Patches' trumpet sound--it's very warm and full. "Sarah", which is the only song he wrote on this CD, really shows off that sound. My other favorites are Sass and Cat N Mouse. | 17 | [

2 | Absolutely Fabulous Fantasty | This movie is great fun! Part Indiana Jones, part 1930s screwball comedy a la Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, and part gee-Wizard of Oz. The story is pretty basic - great looking heroes & heroines saving the world at breakneck speed - but it's the way it's done that's impressive. Reality is not the point. Surreal? Hyperreal? I don't know what to call it because I've never seen anything quite like it. The visuals are so gorgeous they're almost hypnotic. The characters aren't psychologically complex but there's a mythic tone to their simplicity that works. And the action never stops so don't blink! Take your family, take your friends, a splendid time is guaranteed for all | 11 | [

1 | I don't recommend this unless your child will eat anything | I was so disappointed with this book. When I flipped to the recipe section, there really wasn't anything my children would eat in there. Stelline, sturgeon, "arabian stew", carrot raita, bulgur pilaf, asparagus omelette? Who eats this? I wouldn't even make these recipes for myself! There was also a heavy indian flair (curried foods) through the recipes. I'm sorry, but this just isn't for kids. And then there's the 50 pages of diary about her daughter's life in the middle of the book. How does this fit in?I was looking for a book that would provide quick, easy to fix, nutritious meals that my kids would eat. I don't have time to shop in specialty stores for hard-to-find items. This would be a good book for a stay at home parent who has time on their hands to do all the specialty shopping. But for working parents who are looking for a quick, easy meal to make with items on the pantry shelf, this is not it. | 12 | [

2 | Shoulda been 5 stars. | Like most of the others, I saw Monte on Austin City Limits. He blew me away. I've never heard anybody play an acoustic guitar like that. He makes that Alvarez hum. I am sort of let down by the album though. You don't really get a taste of his full talents until the last song. Then you get a good 8 minutes of close-your-eyes-and-listen licks. I don't understand why they held him back. Maybe it'll take a live album to capture the full Monte. Until then, he's the best kept secret in the music business. I really hope he eventually gets his due. | 11 | [

1 | I just didn't get it. | Although the movie isn't blatantly pro-life, an endorsement from the Catholic News Service for its pro-life message doesn't help its image.Aside from that, I just didn't get it. I thought the story would have been much better had it not been for the "witticisms" of the characters. The dialogue sounded as if a 30-year old jaded Gen X-er wanted to desperately fit in with a 15-17 year old crowd. Getting past the "honest to blog" and "wizard" sayings was tough. They jump out at you. It's like Joey Gladstone's "Cut. It. Out." from Full House, but more prevalent and annoying.I wanted to like the movie. I liked the storyline, and thought it was on its way to being well done, but the overuse of awful catch phrases and the overly-witty Juno did it in for me.Jason Bateman and Michael Cera did an amazing job, as did J.K. Simmons. Their performances were well worth all the hype this movie's getting, and the film is worth watching for these guys. | 11 | [

2 | Makes You Think! | Read this book in one afternoon. I got so caught up in the story that I lost track of time. I was the walking dead the next day after staying up to 1 AM to finish this book. When I finally finished and went to sleep I lay there wishing there was more. I was so drawn in that I could have read all night long. Some people have left negative reviews on this book. I think you have to be willing to let your mind work to draw you in to this book. Some people are not willing to invest themselves in a book in that way. For those that are willing, it is a unforgetable book well worth the investment. It will take you hours to read but a part of it will stay with you forever. Isn't that all you can ask for in a book. | 11 | [

1 | Deliberately Obtuse; Should just be called "Ordinary" | I was very much looking forward to this book--it sounded so good. But as I read--and waited for something to happen--it became apparent I had made a poor choice. Nothing ever did happen. If I am wrong and something did, it was on pages my book was missing. Though it opens up the door for questions on my intelligence (go ahead, I am secure in my mental capabilities) I must say that I am not sure *what happened* in this book. I actually went online to see what others' takes were on it, to make my reading seem less like a waste of time. Instead of a plot the writer seemed to attempt to write of things quotidian--and try to make them sinister. I would read parts over to see what word I had missed that would explain the sequence--but there was nothing. Utterly incomprehensible. Someone earlier wrote--in the course of praising the book!--that he did not remember the book well. That would be because there was nothing to remember. | 11 | [

1 | too sturdy for its own good? | When I first took my new tomato huller out of its bag, I was quite impressed. My previous model was a flimsy thing with an ugly plastic handle, purchased in the produce dept. of a grocery store. This one was handsome - all gleaming stainless steel - and had considerably more heft than I was used to. And the teeth - so sturdy! But therein lay the problem. The teeth were too thick to easily pierce the skin of my lovely heirloom tomatoes (more like thick fork tines than tiny blades). Instead of precisely scooping out the hulls, I ended up mangling the surrounding flesh.Perhaps it would work better on some other tomato varieties? Or something firmer, like a strawberry?P.S. While I may have had problems with the tool, I have nothing but praise for Chef's Tools. I told them about the problem, and they promptly and politely righted the situation. | 11 | [

2 | Sweet, confident competition for Britney! | Immediately appealing, frothy, fun, pop debut from striking teen starlet Mandy Moore. Excellent, youthful production and infectious, Britney-like songs. Mandy's voice is fresh and focused. If you like Candy, then there's a lot more where that one came from. Infact, there's one good song after another. Extremely enjoyable and accessible to all pop fans, though I must admit, as a 26 year old, I find the project a touch too teen-oriented. Don't get me wrong though, I love it! PS does anyone else remember the original version of Let me be the one? It took me a while to think about it but I'm sure it was done by 80's British popstars Five Star. PS2 Mandy -GO GIRL! Give Britney a ride! | 11 | [

What they should have done was finetune the skills THEN release the movie. We DO NOT need minutes upon minutes of psychadelic effects. Ow. We DO NOT need endless CHEAP jokes. No. This film is bad. It's so boring. They keep trying to be funny, but never pull it off very well. The gore was decent, yeah, but not worth sitting through all of the other garbage. The black guy trying to be funny tripping out was annoying, as was pretty much every other gimmick.Sigh. Don't buy this. Really. | 13 | [

2 | My new favorite CD | I just love this album. It has great music and great lyrics. It is definitely one of the most favorite CDs of mine. I was just reading one review by an editor from Amazon.com. It looks like the person does not like this CD. I just feel sorry for him because I think he is missing a lot. I did think John Mayer's voice sounds like Dave Matthews, but so what? All songs are still very original and good. Best of all, John Mayer's songs make me smile. They are fun boys' songs. Especially, the ways John Mayer describes his girlfriend and himself are so comical yet beautiful. John Mayer does not use fancy words like Sting does (don't get me wrong, I love Sting too), but I can totally find one romance world in his music. It is just sad to see some people spend too much time on criticizing, and cannot simply enjoy what is good. Well, maybe that is their job. For those of you who have not heard this CD, just ignore the editor's comments. This is a very good CD. | 16 | [

2 | Bad Features, GREAT Movie!! | The special features on this movie are horrid and weak. You'd honestly get more by doing a search for Batman stuff online. I'm not too concerned with the comic book aspect, though it IS interesting. I want to know more about the movie and how it was all put together.I'd been hesitant to see this movie mainly because of the hype with Keith Legend dying of an OD. I waited for it to come out on DVD, and am sorry I missed it in theaters. The plot is great, really keeping your eyes glued to the screen! And Keith Legend's portrayal of the Joker is the best I've ever seen, certainly better thanJack Nicholas!! I really love Christian Bale as Batman. He was great inBatman Begins.I won't go into too much about the plot, as others have exhausted themselves doing. It's a great movie and you won't regret it! I'd recommend renting it for now and waiting to buy any special edition until a much better one comes out. | 11 | [

2 | clerks 2 - its as easy as A B C! | spectacular followup to cult hit CLERKS. kevin smith has visited his gang one more time. the movie characters are rich in development(real screen presence by ROSARIO DAWSON) and one can enjoy following them as life go right by. I do not want to elaborate on story, but to say the least there are plenty of things to get offended by(not me, I love this stuff). all of the characters weave in and out of each other but this movie is actually more about DANTE and his pal RANDALL. after all is said and done this movie has heart. its about love, friendship and one's own destiny. crude humor, male nudity, extreme language and a MULE, I kid you not. if you loved CLERKS for any reason, this is worthy sequel. don't say I didn't warn you. LMFAO--till it hurt. do not wait, go now. how many of you out there think the dance sequence will be a cult favorite(like the rocky horror picture). I think it has potential in the theatre. | 14 | [

1 | Make sure you know what you are cutting!!! | I had some thicker tile, but light glazing and it was a wall tile, but I suppose it could be floor tile also. It did not say floor tile. So, based on the tile package and Rotozip XB-TC1 Tile cut X Bit packaging, it sure looked like it should have worked. $12 at Lowes. I was cutting a 1 1/2" circle for a pipe. Initial entry hole went well working it around as I went through the tile. However, it didn't even get me 1/2 way before it lost it's cutting ability!!! I was going slow and worked it up and down. I was ticked, especially since this is the second one I've tried. ($24 so far). Finally had to break down and buy the $40 thicker Rotozip diamond bit. Rotozip is great overall, just DO NOT USE this bit ON THICKER TILE! Hope my mistake won't be yours. | 13 | [

2 | For the new mother again | After much deliberation I finally chose this for my step daughter. She just recently gave birth to a new baby girl. She has 2 boys also. I thought that something would be in order such as a mother's ring or the such. I order the pendant/locket. The delivery was quicker than stated, which I felt was a plus. Upon receiving it, my wife open it and sent me pictures. (I work offshore so unable to be there for the giving.) After some difficulty she was able to get 5 stones inside the locket, but after reading the description I knew that it wold be difficult to do but could be done. She gave it to our daughter and she was very pleased with it. I have yet to actually look at in person, but from the raves I have gotten from those who have I think it will have been a good buy. I will post more once it has been worn a while and survived her work. | 12 | [

1 | This Game Stinks! | This game has some great features. I had fun setting up a franchise and drafting a team, etc. Then, I started to play the games. It was then that I began to hate it. From the graphics, to the players, to the motion of the game, and especially the hitting, All-Star Baseball '04 is lame. Even EA Sports '02 is far better. I'll be selling this game and buying the new EA Sports baseball. I'm sure it will blow ASB away, and has most of the cool features, too. Don't waste your money on this one! It simply doesn't measure up. I bought this because of the special features and the reviews I read on this site. Trust me, whoever wrote these probably works for Akklaim. | 12 | [

2 | great music, singer lacking | From the opening riff of this disk I started to get very excited, this guitar player is something special. The songs are well writen and powerful. It reminded me of dream theater in a couple of spots. The only thing that holds this back from becoming a true classic is the singer. To be fair, he fits some of the songs and even sounds strong on "Chosen Ones". But, there are several spots where he straines to hit notes he is not capable of, sounds out of tune in other places, and ends one song sounding like a tone deaf first day loser on american idol. You will know which one I am refering to when you here it. All of this is relevant because I just heard that this Guitar player, Magnus Karlsson, is teaming up with Tony Harnell in the new band Starbreaker! Due out March 21st. With this guy's chops and Tonys pipes LOOK OUT! Since tastes in singers vary, this disk is a must buy for power metal fans, the music is that good. | 11 | [

1 | Someone, explain to me what I missed | I heard an interview with a man who recently released a documentary about Charles Bukowski. I got so enthused I bought several of his books. Almost all of the reviews I read were glowing. "LIFE CHANGING!" "MASTERPIECE!" "AWE INSPIRING!" Well, it was inspiring, but I'm not sure exactly what it inspired me to do. I read this book and felt nothing. No, I take that back. I felt like I was totally "not" getting the point or the genius. I didn't like the characters. I didn't like the story (I'm a government employee and I couldn't even relate to it!). But, I persevered and finished the book. Only to be left with one burning question....HUH? Seeing as how everyone seems to love Bukowski, I'm trying another one of his books. I'm giving him another shot. But I'm just not feeling it. Maybe it's a male/female difference of perspective. I just don't know. | 19 | [

2 | Borealis winter gloves | These are great gloves, with a few, minor caveats. I live on the California coast near Santa Barbara and my commutes are usually 6 miles or less on fairly flat roads. Temperatures on the coldest days are in high 30"s to low 40's. The gloves are plenty warm for those distances and temps and that terrain. If there were steeper terrain, or warmer temp. or longer distances, I think the gloves might be too warm, causing sweaty hands. In that case, I would remove the inner liner and replace it with a thin cotton glove, as recommended in other reviews. The hassle is a small price to pay for essentially having gloves that cover a huge range of temps. The buttons for my Blackburn Flea head and tail light are somewhat difficult to operate with the gloves. No big deal there. I also like the way Planet Bike operates their business. Ride on. | 12 | [

1 | Disappointing | First I did not buy from this seller. But I did buy the JVC Taiyo Yuden Silver Lacquer Printable 8X DVD+R Media 100 Pack. This is the first time I tried this brand and did so because they are supposed to be the best. In the first 50 I had almost a 50% fail rate. I thought my dvd burner was going out. Then I changed the burn speed to 4x from 8x. That helped. I then had a fail rate of around 25%.That's as bad as I was getting from cheap DVD blanks. Well I finally used them all. Then I bought Verbatim 50 pack of +R.When I started using the Verbatim, I realized that there was nothing wrong with my dvd burner. I've Burned 15 dvd's and have not had one fail on me. I'm also burning at 8x. I won't buy Taiyo Yuden blanks again. | 13 | [

2 | Fourth in the quartet, but just as essential... | This is the most balanced of Luther's classic recordings. Every tune is extremely memorable and meaningful, and could have been a hit in its own right ala Thriller. The production, songwriting, and LV's voice are all in top form. Faves are the title track and 'The other side of the World'. Billy Preston's organ solo on 'Til my Baby comes home' is flat-out scorching, while Marcus Miller thumps his bass guitar ferociously on 'It's over now'. Its kind of surprising that this disc isn't included with his first three recordings as a collector's edition box set. I would buy that just because its Luther for goodness sake. Epic Records, are you listening? This is the last 'pure' R&B disc Luther did before he started recording the synth-and-drum machine laden cheesefests known as 'Give me the Reason', 'Any love', and 'Power of Love' that were obviously recorded for the sake of winning Pop music awards. Oh well, I still got love for LV. RIP... | 11 | [

It transfers slowly, without telling you what , where, or how it is doing. You have no idea if it is even transferring. It stalled for over an hour, no messages, no idea of what it was doing, just a warning that "IF YOU CLOSE THIS WINDOW OR USE YOUR COMPUTER YOU WILL HAVE TO START OVER". With no activity displayed from either hard drive, I spent the day starting and stopping the program. It finally transfered without hangup about 2 in the morning. Now my new computer has more folders in the dangdest places than I thought you could put on it. Stay away from this cable and the software. I could have transfered all the files using dvd or cd quicker and more efficiently than this piece of junk. Stay away! | 11 | [

1 | Worthless POS | I used this drive on 3 machines with WinXP SP2. It worked great the first few weeks. Then it started producing "Delayed Write" errors and corrupting files. Good thing I had a backup. I had sensitive data on this drive and tried to wipe it (with the intention of asking for a warranty replacement). But it would not work on any of my modern machines. I tried it on my old laptop with USB 1.1 ports and it would successfully mount. Then I tried to wipe it (using WD's utility and Truecrypt). But it would only get half way through (24 hours!) before exiting with a "sector not found" error. I tried a few times then gave up, took it apart and smashed the platters with a hammer.

1 | They Have No Soul | The popularity of this "band" mystifies me. In all fairness, I have never seen them live, so maybe I should before I completely dismiss them. I bought this CD because I like "Love in a Trashcan". I am a professional DJ on the side (weddings, parties, etc.) and I thought for sure that I could add "Love in a Trashcan" to my list of surefire dance floor fillers. Boy was I wrong. When I played it at a Halloween party last weekend, it cleared the dance floor. Hearing it in comparison to the rest of the material I was having success with was educational. The Raveonettes' music is sterile. The Raveonettes have no soul. Take a look at the pictures of them inside the CD jacket. See what I mean? By the way, "Love in a Trashcan" is available on CD single. | 13 | [

At 5'3" and a current weight of 152lbs, I ordered the SMALL because according to the size chart it ranges from 136-180lbs. I am almost 35 weeks and have already stopped gaining weight (the same thing happened with my first pregnancy). I was afraid the medium would be too large since I am not anywhere close to 180. I should have listened to the other reviewers! The second to last clasp was way to tight. I put it on the last clasp and it fit, but just barely. If I gain any more weight or if my stomach drops anymore this would not fit. I adjusted the position several times thinking maybe it was in the wrong spot but no such luck. I ended up having a weird crampy fealing both times I tested it out and haven't bothered with it since. The company needs to change their size chart so it's based on your stomach circumference. Then maybe people would have an easier time getting the right fit. | 12 | [

2 | My opinion... | I have been reading a lot of books in my life, I write some myself. When I first heard of Harry Potter I thought to myself, "Eh, it's probably just a children's book!" Then, I started hearing it was good. I believe I got them for Christmas or something, actually for both my sister and me. I read the first one (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and fell in love with the series. I was completely caught up with it. I couldn't put down the book. I used to read the whole page until I found one that ended the sentence or else I would lose my place. I know, but I didn't feel like using bookmarks! I couldn't stop reading because it was so interesting. I love mystery and adventure books such as Harry Potter and EverWorld. I like being kept in suspense. I think that Harry Potter is a great and magical book not only for young ones to enjoy, but for everyone to experience the magic Harry Potter is experiencing in J.K. Rowling's mysterious and fun series. I do hope they keep the books coming! | 14 | [

1 | Battery scam | Don't buy APC. They need to learn to stop the battery scam they are running. Batteries don't cost that much. Oh but they'll tell you to upgrade instead. SCAM! When this units battery goes bad, which is unusually quick, you cant use it anymore. Power does not pass through. No big deal if the batteries were priced correctly. Maybe they should visit the local hardware store. My weed whacker uses the same kind of battery. Ask any battery store. Not my word, theirs. Its a shame since the unit isn't that bad. | 13 | [

1 | The Author Is Cool, But This Book SUCKS! | Black Men Won't Read for Long If They Have To Read Junk Like This! Give me a break - What the heck is this crap anyway? Michael Baisden is as cool as they come (I've seen him on TV and heard him on the radio a bunch of times). But he should stick to TV. This book is beyond bad. Characters who bored me to death, story-lines as weak as kindergarten fruit punch and a cover that lacked imagination are among the BETTER things about this nonsense. No wonder it's self-publsihed, self-promoted and self-destructive. I wanted to self-destruct when I read it and still wonder what Baisden's point was. If flipping the script on sistah's is where it's at, "he ain't even there." Note to Mike - You're cool. Why don't you get a TV show or something? Leave the books to the writers and the promoting to guys like yourself. Ever thought about infomercials? | 13 | [

1 | oh, please... | Salvation! After almost giving up hope, I finally find a review that recognizes the sheer mediocrity of this entire venture. I won't deny taking a certain guilty pleasure in reading FT, but viewed objectively they're fairly appalling. I mean, my God, it's the exact same repetitive jokes day after day after day after day after day! Every single one of Amend's characters exactly fits into a rigid stereotype from which he or she never, ever, deviates in the slightest. "I say, I wonder what those lovable Foxtrot rascals are up to today! My word, it looks like the small, hyperactive child is equating his vacuous valley girl sister to a repulsive beast! Well, I declare! What a strikingly original development! What will that genius Amend think of next?" How come great comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes die and things like Foxtrot drag their decaying corpses onwards 'til the end of time? | 11 | [

1 | This is IT? | A friend of mine, whose favorite author is Thompson, loaned me this book. I haven't finished it. I haven't the heart to tell him I really don't get it. I've read some tripped out, scatterbrained stuff in my day, but this just confounds me. I think it's supposed to be the ultimate in excess, or maybe not. I think it's supposed to be funny, and I'm not reading it that way. Or maybe not. I can't tell. I have gotten about halfway in, and it's not going anywhere. Considering this has such a strong reputation, it's not cutting it for me. About the only compelling thing about it to me is how the two main characters can handle so much booze and drugs. Most of us would be face down for 3/4 of the story if we were in it. Page after page I keep waiting for something to get rolling, but it never does. Is that the whole point? Sorry, but this is not worth my time. | 15 | [

2 | You will enjoy this biography | I grew up in the south. As one reviewer noted, "Grant was the devil" to any kid that grew up southern. Robert E. Lee was the hero. My high school was named Robert E. Lee. There were no US Grant high schools. We were taught that Grant was a drunk that ran a scandal plagued presidency.I learned a lot new about Grant in this book. I now appreciate the general and the president. I also came away with a better appreciation for the leaders on both sides of the civil war.....they knew each other very well. Longstreet from the south was Grant's very close friend. The author did a good job of letting the reader know how difficult this war was on both sides. It truly was friend against friend, brother against brother.Great read. It was recommended to me by a close friend and he was right. | 12 | [

1 | It made me sick | I feel like a terrible person for even watching this. When I saw the disclaimer at the beginning of the movie I thought "Oh haha...it can't be all that bad." Now I think I'm psychologically scarred for life. I'm left wondering if people actually were killed in the making of this film. I can handle fake human murders...but the animal cruelty...real animal cruelty...that's just disgusting. I can't believe this movie was made. And I can't believe it's allowed to be sold in stores. Free speech, yes. But not at the expense of innocent animals. That poor turtle...The guy at the end said the film he watched should be burned. I feel like burning the DVD I just watched except it was a rental.I don't recommend this movie to anybody. | 11 | [
