A good edition to the series
When Jade's parents got married they're marriage was more like a buisness partnership. Everything was divided down the middle just in case anything ever happened. And when they had Jade they couldn't divide her. When it comes time for Jade to tell her story in Dr. Marlowe's therapy session, she dosen't want to speak. But when she dose she spins a story of a terrible battle masked by a privileged life. When Jade's parents got divorced they fought over her not becasuse they loved her, but becasue they wanted to come out on top. Will Jade be able to deal with everything? Or will she fall apart.I really liked this book it's a good edition to the series and so far my favroite. I've already read Misty the first one and I'll be sure to read Cat and Star. This is an interesting series and I reccomend it to fans on suspenceful real life novels. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

No plot at ALL.
There are a few reasons why this movie was made. I will list them in no particular order:1.) Kate Winslet needed a vehicle to prove she's not a major studio sell-out, but an indie film babe.2.) France needed to put its name on something.3.) Someone wanted an excuse to film a dewy Winslet lounging in the Moroccan desert.4.) Someone owed someone a BIG favor.Don't buy it. Don't rent it. Don't even watch it on cable. It was the biggest waste of time ever. I'm even a big fan of Kate Winslet, but I was totally confused by this. Plus, what's with those children? What was she, 13 when she had them? Winslet is still a tender 24 (only a few months younger than I am), yet we were to believe that she was the mother of two school-age girls, one of which was on the cusp of puberty? Call me a skeptic, but I found that completely implausible, especially since Winslet played a 17 year-old in the last film she made.

worst Anne Rice book
I am a huge fan of Anne Rice and have enjoyed her tales over the years of the Mayfair witches and the vampire chronicles. But Merrick doesn't even come close to these other novels. It lacks depth, an interesting story line, and character and location development. It is billed as bringing together the Mayfair witches and Lestat, which is completely untrue. The story has little to do with her others and with previous characters.Furthermore, there is nothing interesting about the story line. The goal is to bring back the ghost of a dead vampire child. That is the entire premise. Who cares. It is completely boring and dull. There are other a few characters and they aren't very developed other than their history.Anne Rice can do so much better. This is an complete disappointment. Don't waste your money on it.

Great music from the show, but....
I'm always one who pays attention to music, whether in live shows like Cirque Du Soleil, or in movies. This is what makes Cirque so much better than other "circus" shows. The wonderful music creates different moods and helps transport you to another place. "Alegria" has always been my favorite Cirque CD, but "Dralion" is at least equal to it. After seeing "Dralion" live, I knew I had to have the audio CD. The music tracks grow on you. If you're not impressed at first, listen again. I love this CD. I only have one criticism. The audio quality isn't that great. Maybe it's just the CD I bought. Alegria sounds great on my sound system, but this one seems lacking. Other than that, this is a great CD for Cirque Du Soleil fans.

BAD AT EVERYTHING!
This is without a doubt putting ALL of the films even On Streaight to Video movies. This is by far the Worst film of 1999!the acting is horrorble, the premis is totally unorginal. the whole movie is Unorginal. Copys from just about all the blockbuster hits.ahhh horrorble movie, not even worth renting as far as I'm concered. frnakly I saw this in theaters. and it Wasn't worth the time. but I think amatures leave films.. I'm no amature so I didn't leave the film. fact is, if there was any film I would ahve walked out of that year. it would without a doubt be that one.One thing thats even worser is the fact they are ACTULLY planning Bats 2 now. It doesn't diserve a Sequel. and the cast didn't even deserve to be paid for this film.

This is an awesome CD
This is just an amazing CD. It's great cause instead of being just hardcore grunge, it's a bit evolved. Don't get me wrong, I love the grunge, but it's good when bands take a chance and change. This cd has a lot of really good songs, but I do have to agree with the guy who said it earlier, I think songs like Go, Blood, and Rats were just fillers. I mean they're ok, but they're not as good as they could be. Animal was a rocker all the way through, Daughter and Elderly showed their more acoustical side, and W.M.A. was a cool change, I really liked the all the drumming and guitars, it's really good stuff. But, my favorite on the CD is by far Rearviewmirror. That's just an amazing song. I can't say any better cause I can't think of any other way to describe it. One more thing, it's pretty hard for a lot of bands to have a second album and have it be cool. But, they pulled it off nicely.

Wrong songlist for this title...
The songlist for this cd is completely wrong... The actual list is: 1. Doxy, 2. I Remember Clifford, 3. Dear Old Stockholm, 4. Mr. Bowtie, 5. On the Sunny Side of the Street, 6. I Fall In Love Too Easily, 7. Mack the Knife, and 8. I Got It Bad. The songs are still great but not what you are expecting to purchase. The songlist shown is for Charles Earland's "If Only for One Night" cd.

Can I have my money back, please?
The movie opens with Kidman screaming, and screaming, and screaming. She clutches her heart, woodenly attempts to look terrified (perhaps someone should have handed her a terminatoin notice for some real affect), and off we go watching her chewing the scenery pretending to act. My God, who told this chick she's an actor? That's the first problem. The star of this flick can't act and it only becomes more painful to watch because her costars do quite well. The second problem? Isn't a script suppose to have a plot? (Not as a plot in the ground, as in a story that is developed.)This ditty rambles on in apredictable manner and meanwhile Kidman just gets more shrill. Oh please. Enough. Thank goodness even money couldn't buy her a best actress award. The lighting and photography are nicely done so it has some visual appeal. If you are really in the mood for a badly done movie stick to Ed Wood and leave the acting awards for Inspector Clay.

22 sg great little rifle
first let me say this is a adult review I own 12 airrifles. This gun is a light weight sporting rifle easy to handle shoulders well pumps easy an is very accurate.the vels of this gun is 550 with 10 pumps with rws hobbies 11.9 530 with 14.3 crossmans. you can get 25 more fps with 12 pumps . my pesonal limit over pumping will damage the valve.Accurate out to 30 yds. dead on at 20 sight pellet drop at 30 1/2". heavy pellet don,t do well not enough power . the scope is ok if the parellex is not right for adjust the ring in the back of the scope till you get the focuse you need then lock the ring down. I mounted a 3x9 tasco golded anlter on mine great scope for the price. the trigger is a little heavy but good. I find myself liking light weight gun more.mag spingers are to much of chore to shoot. most small game hunting is done at the 20-35yds. this gun is good at those yds. This gun is good value buy one for fun or small game hunting.

As Good As The First
This, like the original, was really good. I saw it in the movie theaters when I was little, and had been a big fan of the original before that.This one takes a good direction: pets lost in the city. I think it is a little funnier than the first. Having all the different dogs around makes the movie more fun, the two bad dogs and Reilly's gang. Chance's girlfriend, Delilah, just got in the way here. I've noticed that in a lot of sequels to Disney originals, a main character falls in love. It gets boring after awhile. Both HOMEWARD BOUND movies are real good, and that's a compliment coming from me, since I'm getting more into the horror genre now. Anyway, defenately rent them both, they're really fun to watch. In my opinion, there should be a HOMEWARD BOUND III made. I wouldn't mind another sequel to finish off the trilogy.

Adams Sandlers Worst Film
Adam Sandler is a talented actor. However, this was his worst movie by far. He has been type-cast into a raging maniac in one too many films. I mean really... what was the plot to this film?Adam Sandler destroys the men's bathroom - for no reason. He breaks things in his sisters house - for no reason. He is basically an anti social misfit. Yet, he owns his own business, maintains his temper with his employees, has a fudge pudding fetish and wears the same outfit for the entire movie.Why Punch Drunk Love? This movie should have been called "Sugar makes me Crazy!"If this was suppose to be a break through performance for Adam Sandler... this film failed miserably. He needs an opportunity to act and display his overall talent (Remember Saturday Night Live). Not just a character that resorts to violence in EVERY film.Adam if your reading this. Sorry bro the truth hurts. You are a superstar - ask for better scripts.

What a nice story!
This is the first time I've read anything by Susan Stephens but after this I want to read more of her books. This was really a nice romance. The back cover says: "A millionaire consumed with revenge... The ford family caused Xavier Bordiu's brother's death. Now Sophie Ford works for him! Tempted by her beauty, Xavier will take his revenge in the most pleasurable way...Sophie is still a virgin. But, as Xavier's skillful seduction awakens Sophpie's sensuality, he finds the ice around his own heart beginning to melt. This is not the kind of revenge on which the Spaniard has bargained!" They are both doctors working on a project Xavier runs in Peru. The setting is unique. Xavier and Sophie are both kind. I really enjoyed this book.

Horrible Film
I first saw this film with my class on an after-school trip. I was reluctant to see it, because it would be a stupid film, and guess what? I was right. I can't believe Ice Cube wasted his time and money on such a mediocre movie. It's one of those movies showing the declining quality of the medium. I admit some of the jokes were funny, but the rest of the film just didn't make any sense. It does have a happy ending. In my opinion, Not happy enough to make up for a bad movie. If I could, I would shout "It Stinks!" a'la Jay Sherman, out loud in the theatre. Don't watch this. Instead try one of many of Pixar's finest.

Broken Case, Plays Great
Great. The game came. That takes me back to the good ol' days of Playstation. No problems and it was a whole $90 cheaper than buying new (ouch to that). Even though this product was used, I at least expected the entire case. I received only the backing with the CD on it. That was a bit of a disappointment. Where's the guy with the insidiously disgusting grin bearing the shot gun, and the classic PS logo in the corner? "Who wants some?!" Oh... minor crack on the back. No biggie. Playstation cases crack all the time.Terrible acting, cheesy lines... heads exploding. Awesome =)

Great suspense
I loved this book. It took me 11 consecutive hours to finish this book. I wanted to sleep but could not put it down. I was crazy with anticipation of what would happen next. If you have a long plane ride buy this book! I never pulled for Dawit (david). He was literally crazy! The only reason I give this book a four and not a five star is because I was disappointed by the ending. It was definitely a shocker! I was upset at Jessica's decisions. But overall I was very pleased.

Unbelievably disrespectful!
What were they thinking!? There are only a couple things I can say about this film and they are:1. They attempted to turn one of the most tragic disasters on Earth into a animated musical. That's like making a romantic comedy off 9/11! What the heck! They should have payed some respect to the victims of Titanic2. How did the film end Happily ever after? The film ends when the main characters are all saved, and live "happily ever after". Did the director just ignore the fact that hundreds of people died? Apparantly so3. it inaccurate and just plan stupid. I mean what's the point of the rapping dogs and the little animals? Nothing!4. The plot is basicly a rip-off of Titanic(the James Cameron movie). Even the characters kinda look like the ones in the James Cameron version.Overall this movie is terrible, disrespectful, and plain stupid

Not a serious musician.....
I stumbled across St John's website, and read the big letter title: "The Curse of Beauty for Serious Musicians". This is apparently how her agents would like the general public to look upon her musical career. Some beauty I can see, but a serious musician? Never. This "re: Bach" album could not have been made by anyone who is a serious or even just an honest musician. It is an album that tries to lure the listeners with superficial effects like funky percussion, sexy female whispers, slick bass guitar and other elements that have no place together with anything that has Bach's name written on it. It is obvious that the artist thinks nobody out there can tell the difference between a good, honest musical expression and third rate commercial junk. It is also quite apparent that the artist has little respect for her audience's intelligence. (Maybe she knows something I don't.) But she did not fool me. This has to be one of the worst albums of all time.

a Good Book
In A Long Way From Chicago, you will read about a kid named Joey, who tells the story. Then you'll read about Mary Alice, who becomes more like Grandma every year. Then there's Grandma. Grandma is different.You'll read about explosives, cherry bombs, and more.Every August, Joey and Mary Alice go and visit Grandma. They go for 1 week. They get older every year. As the years go by, Joey starts to figure things out, but not everything. He never knows what Grandma or Mary Alice are thinking.My favorite part is in chapter 7, Centinel Summer. In Centinel Summer, Grandma is mad at this woman for asking her to do something she does not want to do. So, Grandma starts thinking. On the day of the parade, Grandma beats the woman in the 2 competitions she really wants to win.I give this book an eight out of ten stars, because it was a good book, but not the best. I recommend this book to anyone that likes adventure.

Surprisingly Good
When I ordered this, I fully expected it would get three or four stars. That is the way most follow-up albums go. The first was best. The second was great (and awfully popular). Not much hope for the third, but it is a surprise. Yes, Marshall has grown up. His lyric roll, like, non-stop (mix of Dr. Dre and David Lee Roth). The album is full at 77 minutes. Much pain shows, more so than anger of the first two albums. Actually sounds like he will make a good dad. Be fore-warned, "Drips" is probably one of the most sexually explicit songs on the charts (and probably one of the worst on the album, unfortunately). I really like "Sing for the Moment", "Hailee's Song" and "When the Music Stops". Much like David Bowie and Elton John, there is more there than you hear at first.

DON'T EVER BUY THIS !
First of all they flat out lied. 12 hours of intense gameplay my but! I beat it in two and a half. A whole arsenal of intense spells. How about 7 or 8 spells. The story made little sense. and the battle was weird. The first of three bosses you fight is harder than the last. and a enemy who you caN't hurt fears him? Don't buy this game.

I just bought this for my 16 month old daughter who still loves to nap in her swing at Grandma's house. Grandma doesn't have room for a crib, so the swing is the perfect portable location for a nap during the day when Mom has to go out. She outgrew the old swing and it wouldn't move any longer. This swing is great for the older or larger child. It is very soft and comfortable, and her feet don't drag on the ground. It will keep her happy for several more months, I hope! I obviously don't need the mobile accessory, so I can't comment on that part. The five point harness is great. I don't have to worry about her climbing out of it. I've been waiting a long time for a swing to hold a child past 20 lb. I wish my boys would have had one of these. My daughter was asleep in about 2 minutes when I put her in it for the first time.

Rubbish!!!
Is this music? I call it loud noise! This stuff really stinks, none of the numbers is longer than 3,5 minutes, and how can you like it when all the songs are the same. Only Basket Case is nice, and it deserves a 9/10. But the rest, all 1/10. Just worthless, spare your money, and go buy something else. What also bothers me is the fact that there are no guitar solo's and cool guitar rifs. Just the same speed, same style, same everything. And the singer sings like he's got a running nose. And the guitar does the same tune every 3 seconds. I just don't understand how this can be a 4.5 star-album.Keep On Rocking

nothing compared to sony psp
i hate this system so badly! i wanted to tell everyone that this system is a waste of money and by the time you get it, the psp will be out. psp came out in japan december 12th and is coming out in the U.S. sometime in march. i really don't care about the dual screens! i think it is stupid looking! nintendo is really going down with their systems! i hate the cartridges so much. i don't want to go back to the nintendo 64. we need sony! nintendo is never going to come close to microsoft xbox and sony playstation 2! psp is going to rule every portable gaming system out there. the only thing that sucks about the psp is that is only has a 4-5 hour battery life while ds has much more juice. i'd much rather get the psp so make sure you put that on your christmas list instead (they're selling them from japan)

Mama!!!! Don't Make Her Sing!!
I was excited to watch this movie.. Since Ciara's record sales has been declining with each release... I thought maybe acting would do the trick... Ummm No!!I won't be too hard on her because this is her first starring role in a straight to dvd movie..The Script - WEAK!!The Acting - WEAK!! (Exceptions: Patti LaBelle - Lynn Whitfield - Marvin Winans)In my opinion I don't think this was a great role for Ciara. This role should have been played by someone with a soulful voice. Everytime Ciara opened her mouth to sing, it sounded like someone was scrapping their nails against a chalkboard. I'm a fan of Ciara's music, especially the songs she released off her first cd.. but this movie gets an one star movie.My advice: Wait until this movie airs on BET... If this movie was called... Mama.. I want to DANCE!!! - Ciara would shine!!! but since it's not.. You know the rest...

Good Read
This book is not about the T.V. show M*A*S*H. But the tv show did get many of its episodes from this book. From arterial transplants to make shift clamps these Doctors opened many new doors to the medical world. Chapter 6 "In the O.R." is pretty gruesome. Details of intestinal wounds abdominal wounds and pretty much everything a war could destroy on a body.But its not all blood and guts. D.R. Apel talks of the korean's who helped around the camp. The use of the white rocks in the compund. Plus his first day at the MASH was spent on his feet for 72 hrs. operating. Amazing.I would have ggave the book a five star rating but there was a section on a paper the D.R. wrote on arteral repair which IMO took away from the book. It might have worked better at the end of the book.Nice pictures of procedures and Korea. This book is a must for people who like the TV show and would really like to see what went on in a real MASH outfit during the real Korean war.

Phantom of the Opera
When I am in the mood to see Gerard Butler,I watch this movie. I wish I owned it but can't afford it. I think this was one of his best movies. The quality of the picture is generally good. I just like switching to Amazon every once in a while because I like the qualify of their movies. Phantom of the Opera is one of the top love stories. I feel so sorry for him at the end. At least he had a few precious moments with Christina. And he isn't a professional singer. He pulled this one off quite well. I will always watch the Phantom. And I always cry. I have watched this movie more than ten times. I love it.

Put Simply--I Laughed
What can I say? Dennis Miller makes me laugh. His rambling monologues filled with pretentiousness and profanity make me laugh. He has a sharp, critical eye (which he's not afraid to turn on himself) and I often, though not always, agree with what he has to say. You take comedy with a grain of salt, realizing that its easy to take shots and less easy to come up with real solutions to the world's problems.I sometimes hesitate to give a book like this a really high rating. Will this book change the world? No. Will it be read a year from now let alone 100 years from now? Probably not. And yet, this book made me laugh out loud more than anything I've read in recent months. It made me laugh more than I remember laughing at Miller's earlier rants. And now, in the aftermath of the tragedies lately, it's just what the doctor ordered. Enjoy it for what it is but enjoy it.

Slick and bogus!
P.T. Barnum may have anticipated this book with his "sucker born every minute" remark. Indeed, henrik@husc7.harvard.edu, 08/06/96, [rating=1:Nutritional Misinformation and Pseudo-Science] anticipated my review. Alas, Amazon only has 1 as its lowest rating. One anecdote from the Zone book is characteristic. Supporting "evidence" is gleaned from some no-nonsense coach who "supervises" a SMALL group (less than 10) doing a Zone "experiment." There is NO control group! Compliance with the Zone protocol is based on this coach not taking any nonsense from his subjects. He takes what they report at face value; and that's the "scientific" data. Outrageous does not begin to describe this book. If only I still worked for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to find out how much damage this book has done. The best can be hoped for is that people will ONLY waste their money on it.

My guilt complex gives it 2 stars.
It holds water and fits in my fridge. Those are the positives.Negatives--IT LEAKS. It leaks when you fill it, it leaks when you walk to the fridge with it. It leaks when you pourrr. A lot. Even if you are really, really careful. This leaves a small puddle on the floor that you will later A. step in, or B. catch your baby splashing in. Nobody likes stepping in cold water with socks on.The lid just pops off, willy nilly. It doesn't 'click' on in any way...it just sits on top. Relatively ineffective. Not *totally* ineffective...it would keep flies out, but only if they didn't bump it, or look at it funny. Otherwise, just carrying the pitcher can cause water to slosh out past the lid.I've recently discovered the black silt at the bottom. That'd be another negative.I think we're just going to buy a new fridge with a built-in water filter. So thanks, Brita...you sucked so bad you convinced my cheapo husband to buy me a new fridge. :D

I Married One Too
This book hit close to home and it is why I purchased it. I married a pedophile too. In addition he is an abuser, a not so great combination for a husband. Lundy Bancroft in Why Does He Do That? was the first therapist to address why this combination is bad news: It increases the perpetrator's entitlement demands.One thing stressed in both books is the necessity for strong boundaries. This is something I learned early in my marriage through my own recovery from an abusive childhood.I know exactly why I married this man. My father was a pedophile and abusive. I repeated history. Though at the time I met and then married my husband, I had no memory of my father, that he even existed.Three years after I got married my husband confessed his crime to me in the typical way all molesters do. He blamed the child for getting herself molested. Disgusting.This is an informative book on how to deal with the devastating news of learning your husband is a child molester.

Unique and Breathtaking...
Mark Schultz ROCKS! I think this is the best album so far this year. He has true vocal talent. You know what I think is kinda neat? When he sings fast songs, I think he sounds like Steven Curtis Chapman. And when he sings slow songs, I think he sounds like Michael W. Smith. I think that is neat. I LOVE "I Am the Way", "Let's Go", "He's My Son", "In Love Again", and more. I also think it is neat that every single song on this album was written by him, and him alone...with God's power that is. Watch out for Mark Schultz. I believe he will take Christian music by storm.

I love all the members of DMB, individually and together.
I am saddened to see that several reviewers chose to pick and choose who's better within the group. This album is awesome righteous and I think Boyd rocks! It's creative & different. You can't compare Boyd's album to Dave's album, b/c they're completely different. That's the whole point! Geez! Anyways, kudos to Boyd on a kicka** album. I've been a fan of DMB for almost 11 years now and I finally saw them just a few days ago in Raleigh. I'm 28 years old and I was like a teenage schoolgirl screamin' my head off and seriously jammin' out. Anyway - bottom line - all of the fellas rock and Boyd's album (as well as Dave's) is just another display of how much they are individuals with their own ideas and when they put them together it's something explosive as well. Rock on, Boyd!

Kanker Sores
While Joe and the gang were busy trying so hard to buck the establishment and stay true to their punk roots (ha!), they accidentally sigined a major label record deal with BMI and put out this piece of garbage. The music is a luke warm mixture of bands that were breaking ground ten to fifteen years ago. You can tell they put a lot of work into it, but it just didn't turn out right. It's still gonna sell though, because they are on the same label as the White Stripes. I'm curious to see how these "true punks" deal with record execs. Joe probably read Johnny Rotten's autobiography so he'll show those record execs how punk he is. It's okay to like money. We all like money. I don't know whay this band can't admit it. They better start liking it soon though, or they will look very hypocritical. I can't wait until the next publicity stunt they pull, though.

Wow!!!
A truly moving experience. All I have to do is start singing along with any of the tracks on this CD and I am soon taken to another place of peace and freedom -- a place without fear. I bought this album after attending a kirtan retreat wtih Jai Uttal and Geoffrey Gordon and and buying Jai's "Nectar" CD, which opened my heart to this new way of prayer and meditation. This CD takes me to the same place I found at that retreat and continue to find through Jai's album. I especially like "Ma Durga" on this CD and find myself singing it throughout the day. I"m not sure exactly what it is that I love so much about this CD, but I think it is the "heart" I feel coming through on each track. There is nothing false about the singing or the music. This CD is truly devotional. Plus this CD ROCKS! Through tempo and variation in the chants, each track moves to an ecstatic climax and then returns to a place of peace. Don't hesitate to buy this CD.

Witty with a Whole Lot of Violence
Guy Ritchie knows his way around a movie camera. His last film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, handed us a bunch of guys down on their luck and out a couple of grand. In this movie we get a group of all-star competitors all on the hunt for a diamond the size of a fist. Brad Pitt, a bare-knuckled boxer gypsie? Dennis Farina, a crime boss? Benicio Del Torro, a crook with a gambling problem? You better believe it. And you have to see it to do so. The editing of the film is exquisite. Every scene you either laugh histerically or you cringe at the gruesome violence. You have to own this one. If you loved Lock, Stock, then you this movie is a MUST own.

not as described
I have the previous Zeus tent the EXO. I like it's ease of use and the spaciousness. It is somewhat difficult to enter and condensation is sometimes a problem. So, when the revised Zeus, the 2LE was introduced it interested me. Eureka states that there is more useable space without adding extra weight. That sold me, and the new tent arrived today. The box states that the minimum weight is 3 pounds 10 ounces, which is exactly what the Zeus EXO said. But no, the real minimum weight for the 2LE measures 4 pounds 1.4 ounces. In the day of lightening backpack loads, 7.4 ounces is just too much to lie about. If it really was 3-10, it would be a good light weight purchase. At 4-1.4 it is now with many other tents that outperform the Zeus. If Eureka would have told the truth, they would have a dedicated customer. Now that they blatently lied to me, I will take my business elsewhere.

Rosie Disappoints
I must admit I was expecting a lot from this album. After hearing Rosie sing a couple of songs on previous Prince products, I was expecting something spectacular from this album. However, I avoided purchasing this CD for years until recently when I found it in one of my favorite record stores brand new for [the price]. I figured, "What the hell. It's Rosie Gaines. This has got to be a good CD." Man, was I wrong!First of all, Rosie's vocals are very subdued on most of the cuts and the material she is working with is very mediocre and dull. I was very bored and disappointed with this Cd. If you are looking for the Rosie who sang on "Diamonds and Pearls" or "Nothing Compares 2 U", this is not the CD to purchase. I'm getting rid of my copy as soon a possible. No wonder Motown dumped her shortly after this CD was originally released.

FAT CAT 6! DANGEROUS! Lost our boards on the freeway!!
DO NOT BUY!!! Went on a snowtrip with my 3 other friends and they had bought this product. The way up it was okay.. but on the way home.. the rack broke. Mind you.. you might be thinking it was our fault.. buuut.. the way the boards went my board should've been one of the first boards to go because it was near the clamp.. but when heard this huge noise on our roof.. we looked up and my board was the last one on top and then it flew onto the freeway. It really was surreal! Thank God no one got hurt! But be wary of this product!! I had my board for 6 years.. my first board ever and I'm really upset it's gone. I wasn't planning on buying anymore snow equipment because I was happy with what I had. So if you really want this product.. take your chances with it.. I wouldn't. If i get a new board, it's staying in the car.

Musical Magic!
...That's the best way to describe this recording. TOUCHDOWN is one of those musical occurences which happen only once or twice in a lifetime (such as Chick Corea's RETURN TO FOREVER, or Dave Grusin's MOUNTAIN DANCE). There are so many reasons why. For one, there is the incredible assembleage of talent. The CD boasts such names as David Sanborn, Earl Klugh, Hubert Laws, Ron Carter, Eric Gale, and Mongo Santamaria. Then, there is the material itself. "Angela" (a.k.a. the theme from TAXI) is laid back (and check out that heartbreaking solo from Eric Gale). "Touchdown" features Bob at the keys and Sanborn's hard-driving sax. "I Want To Thank You", "Sun Runner", and "Caribbean Nights" are as smooth as they come. This is, bar none, the best CD that Bob ever put out.

Interesting premise, failed delivery
I have never understood how readers could fail to get into a novel . . . until I started to read The Meq. I tried and tried to get involved but could not. The first chapters were great - full of emotion and provided a nice introduction to characters (including Solomon, the best character in the book.) However, after the introduction of Georgia and Carolina the story steadily decilined. There were too many characters that didn't add anything but confusion to the story line and not much to make the different story lines interesting. Perhaps what really irritated me most was the span of time devoted to finding Carolina's child Star. To be completely honest, I merely skimmed the many chapters detailing this event, otherwise I would have never finished to book. I feel that Cash may have been setting us up for the next book in the series, but this was so horribly delivered that I don't care to delve any further into the series.

A great down-home folksome album
Now boys and girls.. gather 'round the fire. It's chilly out there, so let's warm ourselves with our voices and fiddles. And Ukeleles. And Kazoos. And Harmonicas. And geeetars.The album sure left me speechless! Never before have I had the opportunity to hear such a wide variety of groovin' tunes. Here's an album that'll help y'all get down with yer funky selves. Now clap along everyone! The Rankin Family's a comin' and they're bringin' a trainload of goopy nostalgia and folksy yet weary melodrama. Tell my ma when I get home, I wish the Rankins would leave me alone!

Sent wrong product.
Unless I'm mistaken and the bottle is supposed to be pink and smell like panties.But I'll quote the page: "a youthful blend of fresh citrus." - and hookers. "A Fragrance product created for Men" - wow, even the product page specifically gets it wrong.Ordered through tuccini. Every other order from them was fine; maybe they're color blind and don't have noses. Or eyeballs. Though I doubt it, because how would they operate as a business if that were the case?They sent me perfume, not cologne. Great job, guys. What am I going to do with 3.4 ounces of perfume? Probably throw away. I mean, it smells good, no doubt, and was cheap. Just thought ordering "cologne spray" with a picture of a blue bottle of men's cologne would mean I would get cologne. Gets two stars because at least my thrash smells like a hot stripper now.

WORTHWHILE
As slasher flicks go, this one wasn't that bad. The only obvious negative is the killer/creature. It too closely resembled Swamp Thing and the outfit was too silly. But the story was good and entertaining.The acting was professional. The sheriff was a characature. How did all of the killer's victims disturb the land? Why was he killing everyone and why did he not kill the young lady at the end. The actual murders were a bit overdone. Gore does not necessarily equal quality storytelling. There is something missing to the plot. The relationship between the blossoming teens did not develop enough before he became hamburger helper. This movie was worth what I paid for it, but not much more.

Great
I have always like Simple Minds since Sparkle in the Rain. New Gold Dream has two songs that grip me a lot(the title track is great and the instrumental is real nice). Thankfully, that is not the acme of Simple Minds for me. Yay!I have not tired of Good News from the Next World. Its in the vein of Sparkle in the Rain, Once Upon a Time, Real Life, and Street Fighting Years. I can roll with all those albums. Not every song is a 5 star winner, but as I really like the Simple Minds sound. It just stays with me. For example, Ghostrider always is gripping and from this album, Seven Deadly Sins. Its great. Why not five stars. Everything is given 5 stars. "the best" "yes yes yes amazing":)Oh, by the way "New Sunshine Morning" from the Cry CD sounds great. Lets see, my iPod shows I played it 60 times the last few weeks. I "wonder" if I will get the new CD.

All I want is something out other than this book!
I'm shocked. It really worries me that so many girls my age read these books. I don't like to sound like a parent, but these books set a really bad example. The characters are so spoiled, it's disgusting. And they're mean, not to mention slutty. How can this book be a bestseller? It's trash. Don't people get bored with girls acting trashy and sleeping around? Look, read what you want, but parents should be warned about this book. Gossip Girl is a serious waste of your time!!

Cute and comfortable!
I was so excited to get these boots! They are cute and look great with jeans tucked in. I got them in black and they go with everything. They are well made, warm, and comfortable. I've walked a lot in them already and have had no problems. These boots are also really warm and have good traction. They will be great on snow and ice this winter. As for sizing, usually I wear an 8 1/2 in sneakers. I followed the advice of some of the reviewers here and did NOT order half a size up. I went with an 8 and they fit perfectly without socks. With socks, they are more snug but still comfortable. I love the boots and would definitely buy again.*UPDATE* I wore these for over 10 hours during Black Friday shopping - my feet were not hurting at the end of the day!

The best one yet?
I think that this could very well be the best Redwall novel yet. At the beginning I didn't think much of it. But when Martin reached the Arfship it got really good. I loved hearing about Luke and how he defeated his enemy for his tribe and son. It is also very interesting to read about when the abbey was first built. All of my favorite characters are in this book too, Gonff, Bella, and Martin. I love Gonff. Brian Jacques must be really creative to think up all of those poems that Gonff always chants. Well, all in all, it is a wonderful book. The first and third parts of the novel aren't worth much unless you are really into Redwall. But the third part is extremely good and will keep you seated motionless for hours until it's over. I can't wait until Lord Brocktree comes out!

The next big punk band? Not really.
I have heard about this band, and I was lucky enough to recieve this album for free from someone spreading the word about them. The band members say their biggest influence is Rancid, but this doesent really sound a whole lot like that. I do give the band Odd Man Out some credit though. Their budget isn't the biggest, and they are not even adults yet. Its kind of hard to really take them serious though, but at least they're not just whining about how life is so tough fot them and all that. Most of the lyrics are you're typical pop punk fare, but with more spark, and some of it more thought out. Odd Man Out still has alot more maturing to do, but at least its not as goofy as old Blink-182(a band I dislike) stuff. Non of the songs sound alike on here, which is a good thing, but I dont really enjoy them that much. This cd also needs better recording quality. I'm sure this band will appeal to some people, but it doesent appeal to me. Odd Man out arent a Rancid.

Anti everything
This book was sent to me by a friend. I could barely get through it. The tone of this book is nothing more than anti Bush and completely against the war in Iraq. I have a Marine son who is currently serving his second deployment in Iraq. He has been in a lot of fighting and in some of the worse areas in Iraq. If he believes what we are doing is worth fighting for why should Ms. Lawrence question it? I have a Blue Star Banner in my window too. I love my son and worry about him constantly but this is a volunteer military and my son chose this path for himself. I support him and this mission. I pray that our entire world will be a safer place because of what our president and young people like my son are doing in Iraq. We need to look at the bigger picture and Ms. Lawrence, in my opinion, has her head in the sand.

Them
"The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" spends a lot of time reaching for plausibility. The producers brought in Kenneth Tobey -- "The Thing from Another World" -- to help get it off the ground. A little more of him in the film might have helped. We also get a food first glimpse of a very young Lee Van Cleef. If you want to know how they did monsters before computer graphics, the answer is Ray Harryhausen. He was the father of most today's movie special effects. The superb giant dinosaur in this movie is his creation."Them" is probably one of my all time favorites primarily because of the intergral way in which the monsters -- giant ants -- fit into the movie. There was no doubt that the movie was about Them and was among the first to blame perfect, giant mutations on atomic bomb radiation. I'd call it the classid B-grade sci-fi movie. An entertaining watch.

HORRIBLE books for beginner readers!!!!!
One day my 6 year old Son brought home a Junie B. book His 1st grade teacher reccommended He read. At first I thought the book was pretty cute, but as we got more and more into the book I noticed the HORRIBLE grammar being used in the book. Its not just this book either, the whole series has horrible grammar!!!!! I don't think its appropriate AT ALL for children who are beginning to read and spell to see that kind of grammar. I mean if it was once or twice throughout the book, okay fine that is kind of cute. But the whole book and SERIES is the same. Horrible grammar on every page (i.e. runned around my room, I helded my head up...ect.)Not only the grammar but Junie B. is a total brat!!! She whines and cries until she gets what she wants. What a handful!All the children in my Son's first grade class love these books! Its awesome they love books and reading but Its a shame they love such horrible books!

St Anger isn't half bad...It's ALL bad!
This is by far the worst cd Metallica has ever done. Production, songwriting, playing, drumming, singing...it's all pure caca! It is a very BORING cd. The songs are all long, repetitious and there isn't even ONE solo. Why even have Kirk around? The drums...well...it sounds like a marching band. Very rhythmic but they just go in circles. There is no imagination on this album at all. And it seems to be as if James and the boys just said, "Well, Im bored. Let's churn out some crap..You know kids'll buy it cus it's US!" The fans got screwed...royally screwed on this cd. I was so mad...I kept hoping (PRAYING) that it would grow on me. I desperately hoped that, in a world where we have rappers on one side and pop drivel on the other, Metallica would come to the rescue. Alas! Metallica is dead. This album deserves no stars and the band should all end up with monkeypox! Cliff is surely spinning in his grave. Thank God we still have Pantera!

Great seat, fits nicely in Escape
I have bought many carseats for my 17 month old daughter. Our first convertible seat was a Graco Comfortsport which I hated. We live far from family and go on many long trips and when she fell asleep her head would hang forward. This does not happen with the Alpha Omega. She looks so comfortable when she's sleeping. Also, the seat fits great in my small SUV (Ford Escape). Yes, it is a big larger than some other convertible seats, but I like the fact that it is bigger and more "sturdy". I think bigger in this case means safer. I have seen that many people complain about the straps twisting, but we have had this seat for a few months now and I have not had them twist even once. I think if you're careful and observant when you take your child in and out you will not have a problem. To me, most straps in most carseats are the same. If you are not careful any of them can twist. Overall I LOVE this seat and it was definitely worth the money.

I couldn't finish it.
I think I got through about 20 percent. Why couldn't I finish it? Maybe it was too real. Maybe too hopeless. Maybe lengthy conversations about love are just too boring. The characters annoyed me. She became increasingly insecure, constantly seeking reassurance, when she was separated from her lover. She whines, she pouts, she makes accusations. Although, if I were in her situation, almost a prisoner, as well-chaperoned women were at that time, I would have been just as miserable and passive, since women had few alternatives then. These lovers loose a chance to be together long-term, because they don't have enough self-control and discretion. It's possible that the book gets better later on; I just couldn't stand it any longer.

Dear Cheyenne is incredible!!!!
I read many books after we lost our son. No other book touched me the way that Dear Cheyenne did. Joanne's way of writing reached out and grabbed at my heart strings. It felt so good to know that I wasn't alone in this journey. I felt so connected and had so much in common with this book. i wrote the author am email after reading this book to tell her how much it helped me, never expecting a response. I was shocked when she responded. Joanne has been an inspiration to me and I now run a local chapter of her MISS support group. I recomend this book very highly to anyone that has lost a baby. It will help you immensely. I bought a copy for my close family members and friends so that they would have a better understanding of what I was going through!!!

*THE* essential Bob Marley
This album was my intro to reggae as a genre. Bob Marley's musical talent, from songwriting to composition to instrumental skill, are nicely showcased here. From this album I have branched out to other reggae greats: Peter Tosh, Yellowman, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, etc. I love not only the music itself but the message. You have to listen to the lyrics to understand the power of the message behind the music. Reggae is so much more than just feel-good party music (though it has that in spades). And it's not just about smoking pot, either. Marley had a very serious political and social message to offer. The fact that it is carried in such an enjoyable format just makes it all the more appealing. If you like reggae, you gotta have this album. If you don't know about it, this is the place to start.

Amazing DVD but no ECW???
This DVD took a fantastic inside look at, in my opinion, the greatest and most enjoyable time for wrestling fans. The 1990s had everything, colorful characters, great storylines, the Monday Night War. It also had ECW. However, there is not one ECW match on this DVD. ECW, if Eric or Vince wanna admit it or not, was a fighting company that was on the verge of greatness. Paul Heyman and his goons, fought hard to get PPVs, TV time, and attention from then WWF and WCW.The wrestlers of ECW are and still legendary. Such icons like, Terry Funk, Sabu, The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, and Tazz himself. I am not denying that the already amazing superstars on the list do not deserve to be on there, I am only saying that 9 hours is not enough time to do the most exciting time for any wrestling fan. ECW! ECW! ECW!

large dental bill
I purchased these because I thought they were safe for my dog. I was horribly mistaken. My dog cracked two of his teeth, chewing on this. I heard the crack and saw the blood on the bone. I took him to the vet and he had to have two cracked teeth removed. This product should not even be on the market. Had we not caught this, the vet told me, that there is no warning for a tooth infection and dogs can easily die. Do not buy this product. I cannot believe that the company continues to market this. This product is hurting the dogs. It was a very hefty dental bill and I haven't even addressed what my dog went through having to be put under and not have a major molar to chew his regular dog food.

Great book!! Must Read!!!!
I found the book to be quite enjoyable. When I first picked it up, I found that I couldn't put it down. It was well written and the illustrations were life-like. Joe Dever's writing style is fabulous. The way he writes fills me with suspence in that I always want to turn to the next section number. The sections usually end with something like " before you can do that, something happens that fills your heart with terror!" I always wonder, "What is happening, I've got to find out!" Brian Williams' illustrations are well done. They way the characters are drawn, it seems that he dedicated a lot of time to his work. I highly reccomend reading this book. Chances are, once you read one, you just might read them all!

How did this idiot become an actor
This could be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Arnold truly shows his meathead mentality in this winner. I think that the neanderthal should go back to Austria. This guy is an all around loser. Schwarzneger couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Just looking at his big ugly face is painful. And when he talks it just becomes that much worse. Its sad that retards like this can make names for themselves in Hollywood. But to Arnold's credit he did come out with some good ones like ( Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Red Heat and Junior ). Arnold has been putting crap like this out his whole life. Why can't he just end what he started and fall off the planet.

A Unique Perspective...A Breath of Fresh Air
Josh Harris' books (Boy Meets Girl and IKDG) have truly been inspired by God. Evidence that they "work" is seen in Josh's love and devotion to Sharon (his wife). I pray to someday have a relationship as fulfilling as theirs. As a Christian girl who lost her virginity at 18, and became pregnant, married, divorced, and a single mother this year at age 19, i needed a new, FRESH perspective on sex. It was obvious that the world's ideas were wrong... very wrong. The chapters on purity and overcoming past sins have helped me to forgive myself, AND give me something to look forward to in the future. I wish I'd read these books in highschool. So far, I've bought 2 more copies of Boy Meets Girl, and 3 copies of I Kissed Dating Goodbye. I'm lending them out to everyone i can think of, INCLUDING my ex-husband. Buy the books, Read the books, and Share the books. Stop "dating" and experience the sheer JOY of trusting in the Lord.

Cheesy
If you're considering this book, pick it up and read a section of it (some are under a paragraph long). If you think its stupid, you'll think the whole book is stupid. If you like one section, you'll like the book. Its cheesy. It tells nothing about where these urban legends started. Its a loose collection of urban legends. It made me smile a few times but it never made me laugh. Its good to have to sit next to your toilet for reading to pass time. My kid didn't like it really. She came to me a few times because she didn't understand what was so funny about a story. And I couldn't find it. Kind of a waste of time. I give it a two because i think if you can't get your kid to read anything else, this might be the kind of reading he or she would want to do. I picked it up for us thinking it would be funny and it wasn't really funny at all.

Very bad company!
I paid over $200 for this product and have owned it for over a year. It stopped working altogether. No music, no nothing. So what will the company do about that?... nothing! By checking their website, I have found out that after 60 days of use of the product, they charge $12.99 just to talk to you about any problem. So I sent them an e-mail instead. Their website said they would respond for free. Four days later... no response. So what to do?... throw the $200 product away and buy a new one or pay them their $12.99 just to ask them what if anything I can do? The Creative company sucks big time and should be avoided.

Great Nero Wolfe DVD boxset! But.....
Wonderful boxset! A&E were phooey numbskulls not to have continued this show on cable. Phooey on them! Anyway...this DVD boxset is a joy to watch. Great performances all around and Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin are born to play respectively Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe. Only quibbles are that A&E did not make more of them and that they chose to pan and scan the episodes for the DVDs instead of leaving them in their originally shot widescreen aspect ratio. Also skimpy on the extras. But a good buy to have the complete episodes that were made for rewatchability. Great scoring by Michael Small who has since passed. Sadly Maury Chaykin has passed too. Maybe PBS can bring this back with Timonthy Hutton and another Nero....? Witty and humorous!

Written and Filmed by Teens
This film is rediculously amaturish. I know it is supposed to look that way, but realy once the party is over, apparently there are only five people in all of Manhatten. Most of the dialogue is screaming, OMG! The Army had an almost immediate response to the event. They seem to have arrived en mass about five minutes after the scary spidery thing appears. Shades of 9/11 with buildings crashing down. It seems you can have an injury serious enough to bleed to death, but once extracated you can run several city blocks. This wasn't bad film-making it was the worst movie I may ever have seen in my 61 years! Too much unbelievable feats, too much reliance on main characters (apparently after these five can not escape the city, they are all alone--we know now how fast and efficiently you can evacuate NYC); why bother paying for extras to make it more realistic? Bad, bad, theatrics. Bad acting. Poor dialogue. Thematically as old as Godzilla. Don't waste time or money on this film

Ugh!
This book was awful. It rushed through everything WAY too quickly. The Conner/acholic dilemma sums up to a huge confrontation WITH his sister which COnner hates, and walks out. Ken and Maria break up. Will refuses to see Melissa which makes her totally bummed. You have to feel sorry for her. Oh, and you don't know if Jeremy and Jade are back together or not. Jade thinks they are, but I don't think so because Jeremy is flirting with Jessica full time. There's MAJOR confusion there. Also, Jade FINALLY gets fired. I would only recommend this book so that you could be caught up in the series.

JUNK
I was forced to give this a star. So it gets a star, because I had to. It gets a star because it's a fire alarm and I'm sure it has the best intentions, but everyone is right, these things are crap. Mine started going off ALL DAY, on and off, for hours and hours and hours. I replaced the batteries, that helped the beeping BETWEEN when the alarms were going off, but not the alarms themselves. I wasn't even cooking! The heat wasn't on! there was no fire! Pushing the "hush" button only works half the time. I finally unhooked them from power AND took the batteries out. Listen to me and these other people when we say do not waste your time with these horrible machines. Absolutely absurd. Big shout out to my contractor for choosing this particular brand to install in our newly renovated home. Looks like he definitely did his homework.

Great Dancing and peaceful listening
I bought this CD after recently buying Swordfish. After listening to it I realised how bad Swordfish really was compared to this. This is so peaceful but uplifting. The songs are quite progressive which I like. The best tracks would have to be Timo Maas's Ubik and Bunker's Decent. Really good breakbeats and trancy tunes. However I think the Bullet in the Gun song stops it from getting 5 stars. It is totally out of place and just sounds stupid. I love this CD and I love Oakey. I want to buy Resident when I get $82 Australian dollars!! I can't wait.

total garbage power cord. 18 awg 12 feet IEC
Do not buy these chinaes power cords unless you want your house to burn to the ground. I ran one of these for an expensive power strips power cord. I plugged 2 xboxes and 2 monitors into the strip. About an hour later I stepped on the cord and could not believe how hot it was. I picked it up in my hand it was extremely hot and flexible, quite scary. I thought I could smell something that was very warm but wasnt sure until I felt it on my foot. These cords are 12 feet long and 18 gauge. Get some 14 gauge if you need power cords. These are a fire hazard and should be avoided at all costs. Also if the cord gets that hot then chance are you are not getting the voltage you should be getting. Low voltage can damage or ruin some electric devices.

Pleasantly surprised
Not the type of book I would usually read, seemed more like a "guy" book, yet I had decided to give it a chance. I had never read any of the previous books which made some of it confusing and difficult to follow. Soon I came to realize the author was creating a whole world for me to enjoy, the world Casca found himself in and the tortured and anguished world of his mind. The detail some of the previous reviewers found too much, was the same detail that created the whole world around Casca. I could feel his thoughts, wants and desires while at the same time I emersed myself in the adventure he was living. It would have been dissapointing to follow the Eternal Mercenary on a road littered by corpses, something I feel some of the other reviewers found lacking. A terminator Casca is not. He is a complex character who found himself in a critical point in history. There is much more to this book than meets the eye. I look forward to reading it again. The author did great.

This book is a rip-off!
If you're looking for ways to soothe your newborn, avoid this book! Though the author promises to offer help for "extreme fussiness," he doesn't deliver anything new or useful. Instead, the book reads like a doctoral dissertation on the phenomenon of "colicky" babies. That may be interesting to some academics out there, but if you're the parent of a constantly-screaming newborn (as I was) and you're scanning the internet desperate for help, do NOT waste your precious time or money on this book. Weissbluth offers no real advice here. It's the same old of list of baby-soothers -- go for a walk, use a pacifier, etc. All stuff you already know. Sadly, there is no real cure for "colic" or "extreme fussiness." You just have to wait out the first three months or so. ............................................... If you're intent on buying a book, I found William Sears's "The Fussy Baby Book" far more helpful.

Universal Appeal
Beautiful, sensitive memoir that deals with universal issues of growing up. Sharon doesn't cast blame for her weight but certainly expresses how it affected her growing up and still affects her as an adult. It's about forgiving yourself and others for things you did and that happened to you in the past. I was hesitant to read the book because of the mother influence in her story. I didn't want to have to beat myself up for how I raised my girls in relation to body concept and self-esteem but it didn't make me feel sad or regretful. It is a very quick read. I read it today! A deeply personal, intimate look at a lovely, talented person who has worked very hard to achieve her dream and overcome many personal issues. It's a beautiful love story too. A must read for anyone who was ever a child, with or without weight issues - mother, adult, singer, actor,... human being. Can you tell, I loved it!

Not a great, long time machine
I have had this machine for 13 months -- yes just past the warranty. I make bread at least once a week. For the first year it worked ok. No major problems to speak of. I always set the crust on light and it came out just shy of dark. The clips that hold the bread pan in were always the weak point of the machine though. They aren't designed very well. Sometimes when the bread was done it was very hard to get the pan out. It was too hot to mess with much and didn't want to let go. Now it appears that the clips will no longer hold the pan in. As the bread is kneading the pan keeps jumping out of the clips and making the most outrageous noise. I fear I am going to have to buy yet another bread machine.

Consider other options....
I was excited to get this product. I had MS Money 2000, and later upgraded to MS money 2002 standard. I run my own small business and needed something that was easy to use, and that would not require transfering information from one program to another. My first problem with MS Money 2002 deluxe and busines, is that YOU MUST UN-INSTALL the previous software! That was a pain. Why couldn't it just update the other version??The book is helpful, but is far to small, it leaves hanging on many areas.Setting up accounts in this program is not easy, it is not like Quick Books at all! The talking voices are annoying, and the help file never gives you what you want. I spent an hour figuring out how to update the business information, so that the invoices would have that vital information. I tried searching for address, no luck, and then business address, no luck. Eventually I stumbled upon how to fix it, but I doubt I could get there again easily.Please consider other options!

Not as bad as I remembered it
I saw this movie back then. And I can remember thinking this was another 80s movie showing a spoiled American generation who had no respect for anything . . . that was wasteful and greedy. Well I watched again it recently and it didn't seem all that bad. I mean it was typically 80s . . . for sure. But after having seen just disasters like Bridesmaids and The Hangover . . . this movie seemed quiet controlled. I just realized in hindsight that Kim Basinger plays a lot of characters who can't seem to hold their alcohol . . . or who seem to react strongly to it . . . . Anyway she was not a blond back then. She had brown hair in this movie. Whatever. The movie's ending was true Hollywood. And the clothes and house was all 80s. Good to reminisce with.

started checking my watch half way through
Sitting through this film was painful. Other reviewers seem to want to decipher the film, psychoanalyze it. If I wanted to do that I'd say the characters in the film are all manifestations of The Master. Or that it was a dream, a nightmare. But really, besides Joaquin Phoenix's performance, it was the most boring, painful film ever. The sound track made me uneasy throughout the film. I was thrilled to finally, after an overlong film, be allowed to leave the theater. I checked my watch after the first half, thinking maybe I'd just leave, but stayed thinking that it must be almost over. Sadly, it wasn't. The hyped "thinly veiled take on Scientology" was a no-show. The movie was so incoherent, it was hard to tell what it was about.

Wish I had bought this sooner!
Well, Ill start off like this. Im a big boy. At 6'2" and 400 lbs, there isnt much that can stand up to me for a long period of time. I know this throne will. I had to buy a replacement for my old Pearl medium weight throne, as the seat post was starting to bend(whoops). I searched for almost 3 weeks straight, finally making my decision to buy this throne. And what a right decision it was! First off, I noticed the heavy duty base and threaded seat post. Awesome. East adjustments on the fly. Second thing was the combined leather/cloth seat, for really warm gigs(big guy=big guy sweat). A great plus. the padding on the seat is very plush, and doesnt make my arse numb after a long 2-3 hour gig. I would buy this throne again without thinking about it. And yes, I know its not a Roc-n-Soc Nitro, but it comes damn close. Buy this throne. Especially for 80-100 bucks LESS than the Roc-n-Soc.

Unintuitive controls
I've owned three different atomic radio alarm clocks. Obviously the concept of never setting a clock is wonderful. However, the Timex clock misses the mark. Setting and controlling the alarm is a complete mess. Some engineer missed the boat during the development of this product. I pride myself on my technical ability, but this interface is just not well thought out. I recommend the Sony Atomic Radio Alarm clock. It doesn't have battery backup, but the controls are more intuitive. I work for neither Sony, nor Timex. I do expect more from Timex that this sad product. Avoid it.

Am i missing something here?
I must admit i bought the album because of the cover. I still love the cover. It made the album look really good. Then i saw that this album has a title that is without a doubt, one of the best album titles ever. So maybe i was expecting more, or something different, i don't know, but i didn't like the album itself. I listened to it over and over, really hoping i'd like it because i wanted to so bad. But, it did nothing for me. Time and again, i was agitated, and was skipping songs til the album ended. I usually love ambient-like music. Her voice is beatiful, i'll say that. But i just couldn't consider it a great piece of work. I'm sorry.

My Goodness....
I am really blown away with this book. This book left me in awe for several days. I can't say I relate to Winter but I know a lot of young girls and boys do. The book was out of sight. Sister Souljah did an excellent job. I wasn't even going to read the book. All I did was pick it up and flip to the first page. I read the opening line and said "Oh yeah gotta read it" Winter makes you wanna smack her and then she makes you feel her pain it's outstanding. This book deserves to be made into an movie and have an part 2. The beginning to the end was dynamite. When you get finish with the book all you can say is "dang" I give the book two thumbs up. And, also to make it known how good the book is I just read it one month ago and I'm about to read it again.

Twentynine Palms
This book told the whole truth about 29 Palms,CA. I have lived out her for 16 years. I was 6 years old when the murder occured. Mandi was my babysitter. She was the 15 years old that was killed, one day before she would have turned 16. On Aug. 3 2001 it will be 10 years since. The book had a few mistakes. Only geographical errors. This is a really great book. I blame the Marine base for Mandi's murder because Underwood was not keept on base like he was supposed to. This town still has a whole missing from it. And i was even mentioned in the book. Everybody needs to know about what relly happened. The reason the girls were killed.

Easy and quick learning
I'm a 3rd year medical student. EKG's were never a particularly strong point, nor a particularly weak point, for me. I have an upcoming cardio rotation and figured I ought to brush up on it. Got this book quite a ways back and just opened it up the other day. This book is simply amazing. It explains everything in such easy to understand language, unlike many medical texts which seem to throw as much jargon as they can at you. I feel like I could hand this to a person with no medical knowledge and after a week, they could read an EKG pretty damn accurately. Although it's 300+ pages solely on EKGs, every page is about 1/3 filled with an illustration, and the type is large and spaced out. Aka, its a very quick read. Def doable in a single day if you really wanted to do it.In summary, BUY THIS BOOK if you're in the medical field and not already a cardiologist. The simplicity and speed of teaching with this book is unmatched.

Scalding danger from 1.1 Litre Le Creuset teapots
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING! I bought a 1.1 Le Creuset teapot several months ago because it seems like a heavy-duty teapot that would last awhile, plus it was a pleasing blue colour. However, boiling water has poured out of the spout many times. I do not overfill it, but even the slightest bit of extra water results in a very dangerous situation. The scalding water ejects out of the spout in an arc, covering our stove/countertop - whichever way the spout is turned. This has happened with the spout cover flipped up, or down (in the 'whistling' position). It has also happened with very little water in the teapot. Yesterday a guest in our house could have been seriously burned on her stomach, down her leg and on her foot as the boiling water arced out of the spout. . I can not let anyone use it, and my children are not allowed near it. I have taken it out of our house. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THESE KETTLES AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED!

Recycled Gossip
I did not like this book. The only positive thing I can say abou "The Maintenance Man" is that it is a quick read, I read it in 3 1/2 hours. The story felt like receyled gossip. I got the feeling that the drama in the book came from incidents that Mr. Baisden had heard second hand. The charcters were flat and un-developed. I would have like to have learned more about Antoinette besides the fact that she was a dancer. And the most unrealistic character of all was "Lawrence". I think Martin Lawrence does a joke in his movie "You So Crazy" about a crazy boyfriend that goes to the club in his pajamas to get his girlfriend. Martin's joke was funnier and more believeable. I hate to say this but I don't think I'll read anymore books by Michael Baisden. He just doesn't have the same gift for writing like Eric Jerome Dickey, and E. Lynn Harris.

Recognize anyone familiar in this movie?
I love this movie. After watching it once, I could identify 4 or 5 parallels to people I work with on a daily basis. I rented this movie once and decided that when it went to "priced to buy" status, I had to own it. The story becomes a little weak from the "virus" bit. But, the overall characters stand out in this movie. I know two guys at work who remind me of Milton(both are squirrelly and mumble a lot). Mr. Lumberg("what's happenin?")reminds me of a guy who would say(every morning),"whaddya know?". I also have two friends at work who have the same names as celebrities (ie-Michael Bolton). Both Don Johnson and Mike Wallace are both employed at the same place.....and I'm not talking about CBS. If you see it once and recognize someone or something that makes you laugh about your own place of work, then this is the movie for you to own.

works but not great
My recommendation on child number 3, with monitor #3, is to skip this one. Our twins had hand me down Sony monitors two years ago that were at least 4 years old from the neighbors (two gracious families). They had used the Sony monitors for years before passing them to us. We got this model with number 3 because the twin ones are still in play throughout the house. I have since returned this model. It uses 9v battery whereas the Sony is rechargable- all you do is plug it in to recharge. That cord comes off so Sony is complately portable without a power source, but holds the charge for days. The Sony unit beeps when the charge is low.This unit (Safety 1st) is NOT rechargeable and wastes battery power. It does not stay charged. It does not notify you the charge is low until you hear the top-of-lung desperate wail of a baby tired of crying. This monitor also did not have good range. I hated it.

Il Divo Il Stinko
Ugh...where do I begin. This album is terrible. There, plain and simple. Now, don't get me wrong. I love Josh Groban, Mario Frangoulis, Charlotte Church, Joshua Payne, and all of the others that actually suceed in this pop/opera genre. But Il Divo is marketing gone crazy! Now, they all have beautiful voices, and solo careers for each of them would be better than this terrible GROUP. The songs are horrible. And I just can't get over the fact that they remade Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" and called it opera. Wow...I just don't understand this album. I just don't know what I'm listening to (and I don't mean the foreign languages.) Vocally, they all have beautiful voices, but as an album as a whole, they need to step it up a few notches before they get my respect.

Heaven for the living
I had the great fortune to hear this version the first time I heard the minuet of the G minor (Symphony No. 40). I was then only vaguely aware of Marlboro. The occasion was Form and Analysis class at Manhattan School of Music. At the time I was rather a fan of Szell and the Cleveland. Later I listened to their version and found it flat and dead by comparison. Sometime later, I was driving home and a vibrant, throbbing-with-blood version was on the radio. Wow! Turned out, sure enough, it was Casals and Marlboro. I pulled out my Szell version again to compare. Flat and dead.A few years later I had the good fortune to spend two summers at Marlboro in a recording engineer capacity. My god. Classical Music Heaven! There I watched Casals rehearse and began the long, very long journey to really get it about musical, expressive playing. You can hear Casals rehearse here:[...]

I love this film!
This movie is one of my personal favorites. Everything about it is superb. It has a message to tell it's audience. The message I got was that prison life can take over your mind,body and soul. Some prisoners that are incarcerated for several years never recover from their experience. A perfect example of this was when Red got out of prison and also the old man who nurtured a black bird. Andy Dufrane though never let prison get the best out of him. I loved how he outsmarted the warden at the end. The ultimate revenge. This is one of my top-ten favorite films. Others films I admire are 1492:Conquest Of Paradise, Leaving Las Vegas, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, 2001: A Space Odessy, Metro, Planes,Trains & Automobiles, The Big Lebowski, Starman and ET: The Extraterrestrial.

Nice keyboard
This is my second purchase of this keyboard. I had purchased the first one a few months back for my office computer. This recent purchase is for the home computer. In the office, I have the keyboard connected to a kvm to share it share it between two computers. At home, it will be connected to a notebook dock. I stream music and like the media controls which can play/pause, mute, and volume up/down. It is lacking a button to skip to the next track. I don't have a use for the browser related button. I find it just easier to use the mouse for that. I haven't tested out the spill resistance thankfully but it is probably only a matter of time. I like the curved design. I've had no problems adjust to it.

One of the best things I've bought for my children
I bought these bells about 2 years ago for my daughter who was then 2. She loved them, and STILL plays with them all the time! My 1 year old son has also discovered them and steals them out of her room whenever the door is left open! My daughter is old enough now to begin learning how to ring them in different orders to make melodies. My son just loves the loud noise! They are easy enough for my son to ring, and the tone quality is good enough for my daughter to be able to recognize melodies. And, they are durable enough to hold up to these two kids (plus older sister & mom & dad) playing them for two years so far. None of the bells have shown any signs of falling apart. This is one of the only toys we have that continue to hold the children's interest. I highly recommend them for any child, of any age! Especially great for children who have already shown an interest in music!

Essential reading for everyone
My 89 year old mother lives in an assisted living community which ranks high. My company develops independent living communities for seniors. Never, in one place, have I seen such a reasonable explanation of the dynamics of aging. No fancy psycho-babble or surveys. Just a clear picture of the difference in orientation of the young-old and the old-old, and how that produces such interesting surface responses. In the case of my mother, who has always been critical and difficult, I learned that she may not feel connected and useful. I'm going to work on that. And, in our next senior community, I will have a wonderful book to use during the training of our staff to help them be more understanding and to respond to needs and wishes more appropriately. If everyone had the understanding of our elders that this book imparts, we would be a better world. Non-fiction doesn't usually grab me like this book did. I couldn't put it down!
