2 | Great Controller | I think the XBOX controller has got a bad rap. Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover". Same rule applies here. I must admit I was very judgemental about this control, but I can't see many flaws. I've played HALO everyday for at least two hours or more, and I can't recall a time with my hands being sore or cramped. You also don't get that blister on your thumb you normally would with other controls. The analog sticks are also great. On my PS2 controllers I never used them because of where they were located. But on the XBOX using them comes with such ease. The vibrating is also great! Compared to the PS2 controller, the vibrating on this control has great feedback. The only thing I hate is the white and black buttons. There is so many times I forgot those buttons have a purpose. Other than that don't knock it until you try it. | 14 | [

2 | Apparently hell froze over | The last thing that Don Henley said after the Eagles broke up after being asked "When will you all get back together? He said, "When hell freezes over!" I guess hell must have frozen over. This album picks up right where they left off years ago. The only difference is that the band has gained much more experience and know how. You can actually hear it on the quality of the music and the quality of the recording. Even though they are much more laid back, they are definitely crisper and cleaner on this album more than any other. All of the songs sound better than their original recordings and the four new songs fit the bill just fine. Very few times in my life have I found an album that I liked eighty percent of the songs let alone every single one. This album definitely depicts the Eagles at their best. This is a great buy! | 11 | [

2 | Equal chance to love it or hate it | It's always a pleasure and an honor writing about the work of Richard D. James, or known also as Aphex Twin, one of his numerous alter-ego's. Richard has always been an innovator in the field of MODERN music we listen to today (which we, by some strange habit call `electronic music', go figure!). And this is exactly that, modern music, nothing more. I won't even try and label it in any musical styles known today. I know Richard wouldn't like that. Remember, the album is named after his real name. Every song is a story for itself. Short but complete. Perhaps it's a story of his life. Who knows? Only Richard, that's for sure....So I'll leave it here, and that will be enough.Now it's all up to you. | 11 | [

2 | Hear Music Like You Never Have | I use these headphones for two things; blocking out noise and listening to my ipod. You need to place a AAA battery in the headphone to get it to work. The downfall is you also have to turn the switch on and off on the right headset. I have forgotten twice and had to get a new battery. I work in a very loud office and often cannot think. I slip on the Bose noise cancelling headphones and while I can still hear something, it is often very faint. When listening to music it is so crisp,clear--you sound like you are at a life performance! The only fault that I found were that they were too, big for my head. I would like to see Bose come out with a smaller version of this for women and children. Otherwise, I have never regretted this purchase. I also think BOSE should include a sample CD with these.. so one can get the truth, authentic sound. Advise---listen to a sound effects rain storm or the beach; you will literally think you are there. | 12 | [

1 | I hate them all | The writing style of this book is wonderful. Stone certainly has an excellent command of the language. The writing in this book was all, however, which I did actually enjoy. I don't believe that Stone wrote the book as well as he could have. The plot would have been good had Stone not made every character a figure of my hatred. I hate them all. None of them have any moral values. They all live according to themselves. It embarasses me to think that our country actually went through this selfish stage. "She set about separating another high from the dope on the sheet of paper." Drug crazed hippies. This book is about evil, selfish people focused on drugs. I did not like this book because of the lack of moral values that the characters have. | 13 | [

1 | Annoying Amanda | Well, she started out as merely annoying and then progressed quickly to downright disturbing. There is NOTHING that is fun about this toy. It takes forever to set up the "functions" (think setting your VCR....then triple the frustration and annoyance factor....). There is no opportunity for your child to "play" with this doll. Your child merely awaits Amanda's next command. Plus, ours must have a glitch because she kept repeating (after a maniacal giggle) "You look funny upside down, Mommy!" What the...???At first I just thought I would have to live with Disturbing Amanda, thinking that my daughter wouldn't want to part with her no matter what. (This was for my daughter's 7th b'day and all we had heard for WEEKS was "Amazing Amanda...") Guess what? Even my daughter became creeped out by her in no time flat. I am happily returning Aggravating Amanda today and spending our $100 elsehwere!! Woo hoo! | 12 | [

1 | Not Friendly to Windows 98SE | This item was purchased to upgrade an older Toshiba laptop having a 98 OS and no RJ45 port. The Toshiba meets/exceeds system requirements of this TRENDnet Adapter. I installed/verified the win98 driver according to the TRENDnet instructions and then tried to restart the laptop. The OS froze up completely. Nothing worked. I could not shut it down, or take any other action. Finally, I disconnected AC power and ran on the battery power until it was exhausted. Only then could I plug in AC and restart the laptop. I tried installing the TRENDnet driver 3 more times and had the very same result each time. I gave the unit 2 stars because of the very neat packaging and appearance of the unit. I will keep it in case one of my 2 other Toshibas(XP and Vista)developes a broadband connect problem. | 11 | [

1 | The worst mouse I have ever used. | I had this mouse for half a year. I suffered from this mouse a lot :(. First of all, the battery won't last for a week if you keep mouse awake. I am using rechargeble battery (Sanyo Ni-MH 2100 mAh). I also have a microsoft mouse, even though it uses two battery instead of one as V400, the battery can support me for half a year. Second, the focus of V400 is not good. Sometimes you can see the cursor is shaking without any movement. These days, I found a new big problem. The mouse is frozen when windows xy starts up. I thought it was xp's problem, eventually I figured out it was my V400 mouse. I had a very good impression with logitech. But this time, I will double think when I buy anything from logitech. | 12 | [

2 | Civics book review | This book is about a young man named Cedric Jenings, who was striving for success. The book is non-fiction. It is based on a true story that grew out of a series of articles written by the author. Cedric, the book's protagonist, had a rough childhood because his father was not around. On top of that, he went to a really bad school. Cedric went to a school where most of the kids did not care about getting good grades or doing well. Cedric was one of the few students who earned honors and really cared about his grades. However, Cedric had to pay a price for doing well in school. He was teased mercilessly. For instance, after he received recognition for academic honors during a school award assembly, he was booed and called a geek. The only thing that wouold keep Cedric going was the motivation from his loving mother. | 11 | [

1 | Aw, don't bother | Perhaps I went into watching this movie with too high expectations. Perhaps I was still on the high that was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Perhaps I just needed to be high. Regardless, this movie stunk. Idea is great, but the movie stunk. It consisted of semi funny jokes that went all entirely too long. "And then?" "And then?" "And then?" "And then?" "And then?" Yeah, we got the picture. It's not funny. I also felt like the script writers thought they were just too clever by having the characters recap the movie every 10 minutes. Like we would forget the zaniness that is a transsexual stripper trying to get her money back and Hot Chick aliens trying to get the something or other Galactic refibulator.Take my word, save your money and go see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. | 15 | [

2 | CD #2 Will Melt Your Music Collection | Beware! The live version of "Since I've Been Loving You" on this compilation is not for the faint of heart! It will remind you why Led Zeppelin were rock giants among pure amateurs. What other band could take one song, pull your heartstrings and then bludgeon you over the head with sheer rock power... and make you love it!This CD set finally sets to rest the "Zeppelin as Heavy Metal" argument. They were NOT heavy metal. This is louder than loud amplified blues, yes, but it is their live show that displays their unbelievable dynamic breadth. The band was more rock and roll than it was "Sweet Leaf."If you have ever been a doubter of their music after these long years, please at least give this a listen. Live, the Zep weren't FM radio superstar darlings. They were a bunch of guys who happened to make great music when they go together. Here, it sounds like they are just enjoying playing together- no record charts, nothing and everything to prove.It's unbelievable. | 11 | [

2 | Excellent Melodic Rock Album | Crown of Thorns is another quality AOR/melodic rock group on the Frontiers/Now & Then label. The band, which is led by singer/guitarist/songwriter Jean Beauvier, plays fairly straightforward, not too heavy, melodic rock with a few quirks. To my ears they sound like the offspring of TNT and Enuff Znuff. Their 1996 album features a cover of the Beatles classic Don't Let Me Down.Breakthrough is a fun album that should go over quite well with AOR fans, particularly at Amazon's relatively low price.The track listing is as follows:1. Over My Head2. Don't Let Me Down3. You Wear It Well4. Only One Who's Lonely5. Breakthrough6. Right from Wrong7. You8. Heartbeat9. Leave it to Fate10. He's a Fool11. Down to the River12.

2 | Low-budget Punk-rock Cult Classic | Suburbia is a punk-rock cult classic. Made with an extremely low budget and starring genuine street-punks(including the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea), the film is funny, chock full o' meaning and undertones, and is full of great anti-authoritarian one-liners. It's a punk-rock must see. Punk bands featured are: early TSOL, D.I. and The Vandals. It centers around of homeless punks called "T.R." or "The Rejected" who go around vandalizing the city and live-in a shack. I'd go on, but I am at work and I don't have much time. Forgive the simplicity of the review. But if you can get your hands on this rare film, show it to everyone you know.DO NOT CONFUSE THIS FILM WITH THE LATE 90S FILM. THIS IS A PRIMO 80S INDEPENDENT FILM. | 11 | [

2 | Blown Away | I thought their last DVD (One With Everything)was great. When I saw this was coming out I pre-ordered it, and I was totally blown away! Some thirty years ago I was into all the progressive rock bands, and I was trying to like Styx because their songs on Crystal Ball were so good, except for the annoying vocal timbre of their lead singer Dennis DeYoung. Grand Illusion changed that, and, thanks to Tommy Shaw, Styx became one of my favorite bands. This line-up is terrific. I can't believe Tommy Shaw still looks and sounds so good. Lawrence Gowan is incredible. Todd Sucherman? One of the best drummers in the world! Of course we're all happy Chuck Panozzo made it through the HIV thing, but Ricky Phillips is a REAL bass player. JY Young shows you how rock guitar should be played, (not so technical but with the right sound and attitude. Same with Tommy Shaw. The production on this DVD is great! The bonus material is great! There's a reason almost everyone is giving this product 5 stars! | 15 | [

1 | Perhaps if you work in the "world of fonts" then you'll be interested. | I found this film VERY had to sit through. I honestly can't believe I watched the entire thing.

I don't blame them. . . but so it goes in business.I guess if you are in a business where fonts are a big and important part of your work, then this film might be quite interesting.

1 | No Extended LOTR Blows for Blu Ray! | It sucks. I wont buy the theatrical versions on blu ray, only to buy the extended version blu ray later! Already did that the first time around. I gave away the theatrical versions of the standard dvds to friends. A nice loss of $45.00. Only to pay like 60.00 for the extended dvds! You have to learn from your mistakes. The extended editions are all thats worth viewing. New Line is blatantly not utilizing blu ray for its tremendous storage capacity! Rather they purposely keep out the extended content, for the sole hope of focing you to buy it again! Many will fall for it, I will enjoy my extended dvds unitl the extended blus come out. | 11 | [

2 | WEIRD!!! | The most abominable piece of garbage I've ever listened to. Mucho bizarro! Sucko grando! Sounds like a bunch of robots in their death throes . . . Terminators being terminated.

2 | BUY IT !!!! | Are you wondering if this disk is worth $40? So was I. This collection is GREAT. You get two disks. There are three actual movies, one biography and one very special treat. Thios makes a total of five features for a mere $40. The lost film London After Midnight was a high-grossing popular film of the silent era. There are no known copies of the actual film itslef. BUT this collection contains a reconstruction of the film made from still photos. It's a slideshow with occasional title cards. All in all, if you like Lon Chaney, get this set. All of the films are clean, and very very very clear. | 12 | [

2 | ... | Gil is amazing. I have been a fan of his since I heard his song If You Only Knew. I have had this CD since it came out in like 98 I think. Anyways, I suggest you get this CD.

1 | This is music? | It's amazing that Britney Spears continues to make so called "music". She has no talent, she can't sing. Yes she can dance, but that's not enough to save her. She is an empire, and there are very smart people that keep her in the public eye, which helps her get attention and the constant talk around the water cooler each day. But when it comes down to the music, what is there? Nothing. There is absolutely no substance on this album. This isn't real music, can you honestly hear any real instruments on the album? No because its all synthesized and overproduced. Anyone could have made this album, and a lot of people could have made this a better album than she did. She wants to show she's all provocative and edgy, but she's not. Every album she has this new image, and she completely contradicts herself. Honey, concentrate on making real music that means something, cause this is nothing but a mess. | 13 | [

1 | Disappointing melodramas | I'm a big fan of foreign language films and my large collection includes Kurosawa, Ozu, Bergman, Dreyer, Malle, and many others. I purchased 3 DVDs from this Chinese Film Classics Collection and they are all terrible movies. Empress Wu Zetian chronicles the rise to power of the woman who was empress of China from 690 to 705 AD. It is slow-moving and the actress playing the empress sneers evilly throughout. A drunken monk attempts to provide comic relief, but instead is just embarrassing. Dream of the Red Chamber is based on the famous novel and is one of the most filmed stories in Chinese cinema. This is the first filmed version and I sincerely hope the later versions are more interesting than this one. It is a long (2:05) costume melodrama which is static and even more boring than Empress Wu Zetian. There is lots of weeping and whining, a couple of songs, and a final tragedy. I didn't think this movie would ever end. Don't waste your money! | 11 | [

2 | Wonderful "Tomie" movie! | This movie was great! Wowie! I have the whole Tomie Collection, and Replay was one of the most rememorable one. And personally, my 2nd favorite out of the 3! Yeah, It was that good. You don't even really have to see the first Tomie to understand this one. You don't have to do it! And that's great! You still understand what's going on. Basically, the movie is about a little girl of 6 years old has "Tomie" head in her tummy somehow, which is strange and never is explained why. And then, the people at the hospital who operated on the little girl end up dying one by one. You can probably read what the story's about. I'm not too good at explaining it, but it really was one of the best Tomie's out there! Check it out!! Btw, tomie is really pretty. | 15 | [

2 | Charming | I am a 30-year old woman. I have no children. I don't even have any nieces and nephews. But I love Toot and Puddle. I have a couple of the books and even the little Toot and Puddle dolls. Why? Because the books are comforting - they are like having someone meet you at the door on a cold day with a hot cup of cocoa and a plate of cinnamon toast. The colors in the pictures are so beautiful. Reading the books in the series and looking at the pictures can cheer me up after a bad day. Toot and Puddle are sweet and charming without being saccharine - there are very real character traits in each one and it is interesting to see the differences between the adventurous Toot and the homeloving Puddle. Like many other fine "children's" books, this one holds up when an adult reads it because of the basic truth of the personalities of the characters - the fact that there are real human traits given to these little pigs. | 11 | [

1 | BE CAREFUL!!! | I have been taking these for almost a year- they are amazing. At the first sign of getting sick, follow the directions, I would take more than 1 etc. I would swallow them with a bite of food to get around the taste. They worked 100% of the time.I bought them at GNC. My GNC is out of them. I went on-line, ordered them, and much to my delight saved 50%. Yea. I took 1 today and got so dizzy and sick and nausious. Ugh. Why would I order something on-line and swallow it???? I do not recommend buying this on-line. | 11 | [

1 | Do not give enough time to learn the moves | I was really excited to get this video. I have the 10 minute solution kickboxing, which I love, so I thought this would be great too. Boy, was I wrong. I did, or tried to do, the Fat Burning segment. After five minutes into it, I was so frustrated, I shut it off. For starters, the music is super lame and completely uninspiring. The instructor is way too perky. But, the real problem I have with it is that she would "describe" how to do a move and then just jump in without slowing it down. Now, I have taken a few dance classes here and there, but this was way too quick to keep up with. I know it's a 10 minute segment, so they don't have a lot of time to work on the moves, but maybe add less moves and give people a chance. I will be giving this to my sister, who will hopefully get more out of it than I did. If you want a better workout, with a better instructor with moves you can actually learn, do the Kickboxing workout. | 12 | [

1 | Rip! | Now I know you guys are probably sick of hearing that Jennifer Lopez wants to be Madonna. I was sick of hearing it to until I heard this album. This album secures the fact that Jennifer Lopez is a Madonna impersonator. One of the many catchy songs on the album called "Play" was written probably after her record company saw Madonna's single "Music" being one of the best selling singles of the year and spending a month at number 1. The recalection is scary. "Hey Mr DJ 'Play' my record!" The song is so sad it makes me actually laugh out loud when I hear it. No I will openly admit that this album is extremely catchy and will probably sit well with lots of people. However what upsets me is the lack of originality! I am not saying that someone need to inspire a nation with a record but if you are going to sing a song about nothing atleast sing it first! All in all I am extremely upset with this record as I rated "On the 6" with 4 stars! | 11 | [

2 | Comprehensive | Grief, whether parents, spouse, friend, is devastating and complicated. Finding "the right" comfort for the bereaved is challenging. However, this book is extremely helpful, no matter what circumstances. When my mother died, I was overwhelmed with fatigue, and unbelievable loss. A friend sent me this book. A chapter a day is manageable...and so I began my "journey." Some days I read and meditated on several chapters. At the end of 4 months, one day I woke up, feeling refreshed, and NOT FATIGUED any more! It was mind-boggling! Amazing. No one had prepared me for the physical stages of grief. This book does more than soothe the soul; it gives shared experiences in order to understand the deep process of grieving.I have given dozens (!) of copies of this book, to friends & family who are suffering and grieving!! | 14 | [

1 | Alright | I bought this Cd for the song "wherever you will Go". I absolutly loved this song. It is a slow love ballad. I'm sure you heard it before on the radio. When I got the Cd I was disapointed. The other songs are boring and not nearly as good as wherever you will go. I like the song stigmatized alright, but the others are disapointing. I don't listen to this Cd much. Its better if you have Kazaa to download a couple songs before you buy this Cd because that would give you a better idea of the songs on it. Mostly I was disapointed. I expected more from the calling. I think they have a lot of talent, but maybe should stick with the slower songs. I recommmend this cd to anyone that likes lifehouse, or creed. | 13 | [

1 | Suspenseful at first, then annoying. | Does advertising sell? Yes, it does. I'll admit, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this. (Stephen King books and I are old friends.) But what started off as legendary Stephen King suspense turned to annoyance with Linoge's repetitive, "Give me what I want and I'll go away." Ooh, spooky scary. It would've been OK, if Linoge said it that first time, and it also would've been all right if King left it alone with the first 3 murders, but no, it had to go on and on and on. "Give me what I want and I'll go away." Even after the constable asked him what he wanted, Linoge chose silence. Well, he had his chance. I couldn't even finish Storm of the Century. Instead, I made up an ending in my head, that I probably would like better than the originally ending anyways. | 12 | [

It does nothing but stand up and wiggle it's arms, and make this annoying noise. Totally does not do what's on the commercial. She's played with it twice.

1 | Should have been an non-fiction book instead | Miss Willis' explanations of the NDE phenomenon--scientific and otherwise--were food for thought. That, to me, was all that was good about this book. The characters were one-dimentional. Joanna Landers did not interest me and her internal dialogues were repetitive. I repeat, her internal dialogues were repetitive. Richard Wright's characterization was "a really cute doctor" and he always sounded like he was reading some sort of scientific journal. Then there's this young girl, Maisie, who was nothing more than character reciting a collection of great disasters. Same with this guy who keeps talking about the Yorktown. Mr. Mandrake was a stereotype. Great characters define a good novel, and none of Miss Willis' characters were interesting. I would've gotten the same satisfaction from reading about NDEs (and great disasters) in a non-fiction book. | 11 | [

2 | a cult classic | I love this movie. It thrills me from the lavishly odd musical intro to the quirky period picturesque feel to the film. I feel like I am IN Transylvania. The film achieves the look of "old." The professor is wonderfully kooky and watching young Roman Polanski is a delight. I did not realize that his wife, Sharon Tate, was so beautiful. I don't know that I have ever seen her in anything else. There is plenty of humor in the film. I wasn't so thrilled with the one vampire being gay, but it was not pervasive to the film and I saw the humor in the situation. If you are looking for a gory, scary vampire film...do not bother...this film is more about the period, the place, the charm of a fun caper gone awry. In our house it is the only vampire movie we drag out every now and again to enjoy. Thanks Roman and Sharon! Well done!!!! | 14 | [

2 | pretty great except for 3rd tri | I do this DVD 3-4 times per week. I am currently 30 weeks and have gained 16 lbs. I sleep so much better when I do this DVD and have less pain in my back and hips. It is a great DVD... I love all the squats! Squats are awesome for keeping muscle tone throughout pregnancy. I was disappointed when I went onto the 3rd trimester workout though... it's really easy and that's too bad b/c I've been doing the 2nd tri workout forever and was looking forward to a change. I'll probably just keep doing the 2nd tri workout til I can't anymore... maybe like 36+ weeks I'm thinking. My belly is also a lot smaller than Summer's 2nd tri belly so maybe that's why I'm feeling like the 3rd tri is too easy... I'm still really mobile and rather small for 3rd tri. Definitely worth the money! | 11 | [

2 | Pretty good compilation | Ozzy Osbourne is my favorit artist and I can say I love most if not all of his songs. This compilation does provide a good overview of his career but a few key songs are missing.In a perfect world, Ozzy would release a Greatest Hits Disc 3. Here's what my tracklist for that disc would be:1. Revelation (Mother Earth)2. Suicide Solution (live)3. You Can't Kill Rock'N'Roll4. S.A.T.O5. So Tired5. Centre of Eternity6. Shot in the Dark7. The Ultimate Sin8. Bloodbath in Paradise9. Devil's Daughter10. Mr. Tinkertrain11. Zombie Stomp12. Hellraiser13. Don't Blame Me14. Back on EarthTack on a live song or two and maybe some from his last two albums (which I don't really like) and you'll have the perfect compilation along with these two discs. The only thing better is buying all the albums. | 19 | [

1 | This is not a HORROR MOVIE! | First of all let me say that after watching Child?s Play 2 and 1 I got to say that Chuckie was one of the dolls that used to freak me out back when I was a kid. When I heard a new movie was coming to a release I thought I had to see it.Let me tell you that this isn't an horror movie. Sure it has blood but is nothing special or better than the first movie. Why? Because Chuckie itself is dishonoured this is more like a typical summer flick, it sucks, chuckie in this movie is not even scary anymore. (OMG HE HAS A BRIDE!) Big deal? NO! some of the dialogue in this movie made me laugh and same thing happened with the kills, it just didn't feel like an horror movie.The final sequence of the movie was very well made so that's why my two star rating. If you are a fan of Child's Play give it a rental, but remember that this is not an HORROR MOVIE. Is laughable. Just what the directors had in mind? (Money). | 13 | [

2 | Just what I needed... | I can't stop listening to my DeVotchKa CDs. Over and over. Because something new has to be devoured, not sampled, right? Anyway, I can't get over how pretty their songs are. They use so many different instruments, they're like a rock orchestra that's traveled around the globe and taken samples from music everywhere. Listening to it is like being transported. It's magical. The lyrics are poetic, sometimes so sweet you wanna cry and sometimes so sad you wanna cry. And Nick Urata's voice is one of my favorites now. It's almost operatic at times, dramatic, romantic, and like an old lover calling you home. The music is very cinematic for sure - grand and gorgeous. I'm so glad to have seen Miss Sunshine - not only because it's such a great film, but because I would never have known of DeVotchKa. And they have brightened my world. Even the sad songs are hopeful in sound if not in lyric, and I just feel uplifted after hearing them. | 14 | [

1 | One star is too many!!! | Do not purchase any product from this seller. I ordered the magic bullet via echeck. i cancelled my order and was promised my money returned to my bank account the same day it was taken out. It has now been 21 days since they took my money. to date i have no product and my money is gone. i have contacted these people 4 times and each time i got a different answer. the first time they told me my money would be automatically redeposited in my account the same day. the next time they told me 5-10 days. the time after that they told me it could take up to 15 business days. the time after that they told me they would get it back to me as soon as possible by "putting a rush on it". it has now been 21`business days and still nothing. they promise to call me back and never do. they refuse to let me speak to someone in charge. this product is not worth the hassel of doing business with such a poor excuse for a company. | 14 | [

1 | Boring | Being used to action and plot from Gabaldon's previous novels, I have been quite disapointed in this book. It almost looks like she cannot write short stories... Too much was missing. She touched many subject on the surface and the private matter was not all that exciting. I love Lord John's character but this novell did nothing good to it. And when you get to the end expecting maybe something good... you are even more disapointed. It's just blahhh! Of course, I will most certainly read the next one of this trilogy, but I will not buy it. I'll borrow it from a friend or the library. It's not worth paying for. Too bad. I really look forward to the next book on Jamie and Claire though... | 11 | [

2 | GREAT BOOK ! | Marion is a mother who shares about her experience of being a parent of a child with autism. I liked her book because although she tells her story from a faith-based perspective, she does not preach to me. She simply inspires me. Being a mother myself, of a child with a disability, it is nice to know that I am not alone. It's also nice to know that she acknowledges the importance of God in the journey of raising a child with special needs. Some Christian authors are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good. This is not the case with Marion. After she shares, she shows that she cares. In the appendix, she lists many resources that provide access to technical information for disorders such as autism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, etc. All in all, she provides her readers with inspiration and information. I am looking forward to her next work! | 11 | [

2 | Great Book | It was the second book I had bought to learn elements. It hit the mark. Perfect. Lots of illustrations, lots of color, and not too much verbosity. A picture IS worth a thousand words. A web site provided has all the pictures available to "play with."This book has given me a tremendous grasp of Elements in an extremely short time. Philip Andrews has done an incredible job. There may be more for me to learn in Elements but this is without a doubt the best introduction I have found. Before purchasing I thumbed through many books which left me cold. Philip's book truly gets you up and going quickly. | 11 | [

2 | Historical Fantasy Done Right | I'm wondering when I'll break after reading ANOTHER book about teens or preteens attending a school of *gasp* magic or sorcery or witching or wizarding. Obviously, it hasn't happened yet, because I'm still reading them.It all started with Harry. Need I say more? And then came Jenny Nimmo's 'Charlie Bone' series. And E.

I'm sure I could go on.But Misty knows how to do it better for grown-ups. The historical London is more visual. The characters have more depth. The themes are more, umm, grown-up.The end has me guessing this won't be the end of the Elemental Masters series, but who am I? I haven't been to one of those magic/sorcery/wizarding schools .... yet. | 11 | [

1 | Looks good on paper but didn't work for me | I bought Ver 7.0 (free on mail-n-rebate)from BestBuy, took home & it appeared to be getting ready to install. Install screen came & then it jumped to an error saying Autorun failed. Tried everything per manual, won't install. Store gave me second CD & didn't get install screen this time & got Autorun error. I had ver 4.0 mcafee on my system. Store asked me to contact Mcafee. I was on hold for 30mins & hung-up. Then phone said will charge me by time if I need tech support. Asked the store to show whether this CD would install on any test PC they have & would go further than the install screen. I told them if they could show this I can take the s/w & talk to Mcafee. They turn down this suggestion & finally offered me Norton Antivirus 2003 (Hang type pack, not box) for 29.99. Took home put the CD in, BOOM!, Bingo! everything was cool. Now I use Norton AV 2003. By the way I'm 40. | 15 | [

2 | A particularly pastoral Schubert | On occasion we come across a piece that catches our heart for no apparent reason. It is not the greatest one ever, nor it needs to be a supreme quality achievment. It just needs a certain "je ne sais quoi" that allows it to reach to our "inner musical child". This recording did it to me. Not for the quintet, which is superbly played anyway, but for "The Shepherd on the rock". We have Benita Valente singing the amorous longing of a young shepherd, accompanied by a clarinet and a piano (Wright and the great Rudolf Serkin). A most unusual combination. The effect is terrific. And the accomplished performance is a big plus. I would have given it a 5 stars, but the quality of the recording and the mismatching of the two pieces makes me take one star off. But by all means I recommend it highly. | 11 | [

2 | Good but not perfect | I owned a Palm III for four plus years and was very happy with it. Then my purse was stollen with the Palm in it and I was forced to update. I read the reviews on the Palm M130 and decided it was for me. I ordered it without visiting a store to check out the real thing and I found that it was much thicker and heavier than my Palm III. I keep my Palm in a wallet organzier and I could barely close the wallet with the M130 in it. Therefore, I returned it and I am awaiting my refund. In its place, I purchased the M515 instead. SO far, I am very happy with the 515, especially its width. The only annoying thing about the product is that they have an attractive slip on leather cover but the cover will not stay on the Palm. Otherwise, the software was very easy to install and the Palm is meeting all of my needs. The color screen is nice and the battery has not worn out yet after one week of use. Why can't they make the cover work though? I never had a single complaint about my Palm III. | 13 | [

1 | Should be titled Statistics While Yawning | I had to read this book for a statistics class I'm taking and it was the most painful experience I've ever had while reading a book. Most of the time it felt like I was reading, "blah blah blah blah blah." No there weren't tears, but I was definitely yawning throughout the whole thing. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the night recently and couldn't get back to sleep so I picked up this book and started reading. It worked great in helping me get back to sleep. This book is NOT for the average, normal person. It's pretty much for Derek Rowntree alone. He's the only one who would really find the things he's written of interest. He makes statistics a bore and I normally love math. DON'T get this book and if you're a professor/instructor PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't make your students read it. Unless of course you pride yourself on being the most hated professor...in which case assigning this book should do the trick! | 11 | [

1 | Not a 1GB MP3 Player | One of my friend got this Coby 1GB MP3 player, the package and the player did say that it is a 1 GB player. But in the system it showed the total capacity as 459 MB. Everyone knows that the capacity displayed is little less but not as much as >500 MB. We tried formatting the drive and making it fresh, but of no use. There are no CDs, softwares, tools provided to diagnose the player. I guess Coby has used some compression to show 512MB as 1GB during Factory Install.We tried calling up the number in the package which said "Call this Number before considering returning the product" !! The person on the other side could not understand our problem, he kept telling us (threatening) about where we got our MP3s, DRM stuff. CRAZY !! Seems like he was reading from the papers provided to him. Useless Customer Service. They said it, we returned the product that very moment.Do not buy anything Coby. There are better MP3 players that are worth the buck you pay for. | 14 | [

2 | Good Job by Quicken Support | I just bought a new computer with AMD dual core processor and 2GM RAM, Windows Vista Premium. After loading Q2007 on the machine, the program suggested I update to the latest version, R5 at the time.When loading R5 the progress box said program not responding. I used task manager to cancel the program. DO NOT DO THIS! You will be unable to uninstall, or reinstall the program. I followed all the directions on Quicken's website to uninstall, but was unsuccessful. I called their customer support number and had a great experience. They answered within two minutes, the rep was very knowledgeable, and did not rush me at all. I would say we spent 20 minutes on the phone. He was in New Delhi, India.Say Vista users, when you download R5 give it 30 minutes. The progress bar will say "program not responding," but just relax and give it a LOT of time.Once installed the program appears to be working well. | 11 | [

I have to say Moulin Rouge has all of them. I crave David Bowie's song Nature Boy and I love to death Lady Marmalade by Pink, Lil Kim, Mya, and Christina Aguiera. Diamond Dogs by Beck is defientely a must. These are just few of the 15 songs on the soundtrack to a truly heart warming movie. I promise you, you will not be disappointed in this cd. It's got everything. I even bought the cd before I saw the movie which made the movie even more excellent.

2 | One of the best ever | My only frustration with Stratos is that they've only put out one CD. This is THE most passionate music I've heard. Of course they don't play anything new -- it's the way they play it that makes the difference. The group rotates leadership, and they play without a conductor. Somehow it comes through; each musician plays as if this music were her/his own. Although Barber's "Adagio for Strings" has been overplayed recently because it was used in a movie soundtrack, this version is the best, period. It's almost impossible to listen to it without crying. And the Corelli -- move over Ravel . . . put this on at bedtime! | 11 | [

1 | Could be much better. Some Wannabe Songs | With "Wannabe songs," I mean those songs which contain unrealistic theme, such as here "In Search for God," and the songs that entail flat lyrics, tunes, bass like popular eurotrance songs. If I were Transa I would have deleted these songs:5. Chris Cowie House Of God6. Frankie Bones Black & White [Chris Cowie remix]7. DJ 19 Phuturefunk9. Jacob & Mendez Depths Of Time10. DJ Asle Jack You Up [Bladerunnerz remix]-The should-be-deleted tracks will hinder your dancing, do not cohere with the rest, i.e., you will skip these songs.The rest of the songs are very good; very hard-deep-pressing-down beats. If you like the "very good" songs played in this CD, don't by this. Buy singles or LPs instead and mix them yourself or let somebody else mix them. Actually I have the "very good" songs from this album, and I have selected harder and more deep songs to mix them with. My dj liked it, and so should you. Buy the singles, LPs instead. | 12 | [

1 | Deadly Dull | I don't know how anyone can hang in there and read 7 stories like this. I couldn't find any redeeming qualities. How can you call Francesca sleuth extraordinaire when she in turn suspected every guy with any connection to the victims. It was just a guessing game with her. These stories are just full of mixed up people's sex lives. The things they give Francesca credit for solving are a bit much and only 20 years of age. It's a good thing she lives at home on her family's money with people to dress and feed her cause it's obvious she couldn't do it on her own. And if Evan marries Bartolla, he needs his head examined! She's pregnant? that's the oldest trick in the books. Take her to a doctor for pete's sake. I won't be looking for the next installment in this saga. | 12 | [

1 | Manufactured Bull SH@! | Terrible, Dissapointing, Piece of CRAP!I bought this CD hoping to hear some quality songs from the G-Unit trio. Instead, all I heard was manufactures crap mixed with, well, CRAP! I loved the 50 Cent album, 4.75/5 for that one and I loved the g-unit album, 4.5/5, but this album was terrible. All the songs sounded the same, most sounded like they were manufactured for publicity, "On fire" sounded like KRS-ONE's "Step into a world" and there was this other song that sounded like 50's "Many men"... it was retarded. I believe this album has no good songs, no quality, no catchy coruses, basically NOTHING. I was really dissapointed and I will return this CD for something better. It's not even worth buring. I hope the Young Buck CD is better. Lloyd Banks album sucks and it felt like there was no time or skill or anything put into it. He was good in G-Unit but as a solo artist, HE SUCKS!!! | 11 | [

2 | Much better than the author's other works | This is a much better book than The Haunting of.... The story just works better. I wasn't a big fan of Haunting. It wasn't "horror" and the movie versions weren't any better. A few things bumping in the night do not a horror story make, nor are they particularly engaging. However, these characters definitely are. Don't expect anything supernatural but the story is creepy. Also, having grown up in a town similar to that in the book, it's frustratingly realistic. I only gave it a 4 because of the end, which was something of a disappointment. It isn't an ending. It just ends. But, I could not really think of a more appropriate one. | 12 | [

1 | The Art of TELLING | I can't remember another book, by an established author, that ignored the rule in writing-- show don't tell-- with such commitment. I have seen this narrow, flat writing in beginning fiction classes, but that is to be expected. Dunne gives us no scene set up or character development. He relies on his readers to fill in all the details, because we probably know the story. I found it tiresome to be told who the people were and what locations had been named in other books. Who cares? What's the story he's writing here? I've enjoyed Dunne's writing in the past and was amazed with the pages of dialogue accompanied by no details or description. I felt, by the end, that I was reading a trial transcript. What a let down. I really had been looking forward to his insight and twist on this well document moment in our history. | 11 | [

2 | Gee, Love is great! | Danielle Steel, you sure can fool me. I am questioning myself now as whether I read your book or did I see the movie and also read the book. Whatever, I sure loved the story line. Love prevails against all odds--it sure makes a girl think that there still is a chance for her.Sam was such a high-powered person that Tate thought that he could not please such a high-powered person. He took too long to learn that he had underestimated himself. Have many of us have done the same thing at one time or another. But, as life should move-on, it did for him and he learned that he could, and in fact, had pleased Sam. They eventually lived happily everafter but not until some serious changes took place in Sam's and Tate's life. Sam lost the most of the two.

1 | Sorry excuse for a "Professional Quality" item | Thoroughly disappointed in this slicer and it's so-called "professional quality". This is one of the most sorry excuses for an appliance I've ever seen. It's been used only once and is going back tomorrow. The drive gear that turns the blade is plastic and the plastic gear grinds and skips under even the slightest of loads. I've checked more than once to make sure the blade is attached property but this lame excuse for a food slicer won't even slice a one pound block of jack cheese! A harder cheese such as cheddar would be the death of this machine. It's also not user friendly for cleaning. The blade is removable, but that's all. The tray that slides back and forth and holds the food won't even detach for cleaning. Terrible product and terrible quality. Do not waste your money on this one. | 11 | [

1 | Confession of a Former Fan | I'll admit it. I used to like Lou Reed. Even today, I think that "Rock and Roll Animal" is a pretty good album (CD). I bought this recording 15 years ago. I wanted to like it. I did like it. A couple tunes are - at the mo - a bit catchy. BUT, this album does not wear well. It's simplistic. The idea of a 40+ pop star singing about playing video games is just dumb. What is really annoying about this recording, though, is the song "Fly Into the Sun." In this tune, Lou confesses that he has no fear of nuclear war and welcomes the chance to meet his maker. It's the swan song of a potentially talented musician who basically sold out, gave up, and proclaims his own death wish. Lou, if you're reading this, GROW UP! | 14 | [

1 | Better to pass on these! | I bought two of these because they appeared to be cute online. Having purchased 15 other Webkinz, from Amazon including cats, lions, ponies, tree frogs, rabbits, etc., these just don't measure up. The fur is coming out and isn't pleasant to touch. Threads are hanging around the face that shouldn't be there. Their necks are as thick as their bellies. The tail is flat and looks like it belongs on a beaver. These animals were bought for a children's Christmas charity. I hope the kids won't be disappointed because I certainly was. I purchased the two Persian Cats from an Amazon vendor and not directly from Amazon. They were jammed together into a small bag, not individually wrapped as the Amazon ones were. I would return them except I would have to pay shipping both ways and it wouldn't be worth it. | 11 | [

1 | Works but..... | I already own a Harbor Freight special tile saw that works good but the fence is unreliable and it needed a blade. So in comes this one. It looked like a great deal and had 2 blades with a more reliable fence. It worked and I used it on my job but right when I got it in I noticed it was much smaller than I thought it would be. It resembled a toy. Right off the bat it bogged down on the tile. I had to barely push them through. The water system is bad too. Too much water gets thrown off. On my other one the water return system worked pretty good. I wish I wouldn't have used it so I could send it back. But oh well.....My suggestion would be to get the harbor model or the home depot model. Much larger platform and more powerful. | 13 | [

2 | Great mount, especially since it's inexpensive. | I bought this mount a couple of months ago, based on the reviews that I had read. So far it has lived up to all the good things that have been said about it. It was easy to install with clear and simple directions. The mount is solid steel so it appears that it will hold up for a long time. It's rated at holding up to 165 lbs. and the 60" plasma (LG60PZ750) that I mounted weighs about 90 lbs. and went up like a breeze and hangs solid on the wall. As in other reviews, I suggest you use your own level, not the one that comes with it or the one that is attached to the mount. They tend to be inaccurate. The 6' HDMI cable that came with the mount was an added bonus. You can't go wrong with this mount and I would highly recommend it! | 11 | [

2 | MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME | It really makes me mad how this band isn't as popular as Dream Theater. I have listened to this "best of" CD easily over 100 times and I still get chills up my spine. The way every song starts is really awesome. Then when you hear the vocals you just get blown away. Ray Adler is in my opinion the best singer out there. He hits highs that other singers would choke on. And the older songs with John Arch the old singer are just as good but in a old school prog metal way. Every song on here is a killer. Whenever I hear this in my car I can't help but speeding and thinking that I entered another world. It's really incredible. Get this CD if you call yourself a progessive metal fan. You will not be dissapointed. At the very least download a couple songs and see what you think. | 13 | [

I heard several good things and some of the previews for The Other Guys provided a nice chuckle or two, but this movie as a whole did not perform up to expectations.Now, first of all I'll admit I love Will Ferrell movies. Okay, maybe not all of them. But yes, he makes me laugh. I loved Taladega Nights and Step Brothers has become one of my all time faves. This one though, not so much. There are some funny bits here and there. Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, and Michael Keaton provided some funny moments with their respective characters, but not enough to for me to enjoy the film. If you like funny buddy cop movies and want to laugh, then maybe this might work for you. But really, you could probably do better with something else.

2 | The Founders finally dominate the Federation | For the first time, the Founders, Odo's people, and the Dominion's gods, dominate the Federation. In a party celebrating Sisko's promotion to Captain, he secretly speaks with Admiral Krajensky. The admiral explains that there is trouble on the Tzenkethi Homeworld that could possibly endanger Federation colonists. So, Sisko goes to the Tzenkethi Homeworld in the U.S.S. Defiant. Unbeknownst to the crew of the Defiant, the admiral is actually a Founder, one of Odo's people, trying to rid Odo of the Solids. Not much later, the U.S.S. Defiant picks up a distress call from the Federation colony. The line goes dead, meaning the colony has been destroyed. Dax scans everyone, and when she gets to the admiral, it turns into a Changeling and escapes the bridge. Sisko gets furious and wants the Changeling found on board the U.S.S. Defiant. The rest is for you to buy this video and see for yourself. | 13 | [

2 | Wild, Weird, Wired, Wow | The bitter irony of war is rarely captured without slipping into conventional stereotypes or contrived stories. The Big Red One central focus is the bitter irony of war . War is insane, and the longer you are in war, the more insane the average person becomes, yet at the same time there are moments of absolute beauty and peace. As far as stunning battle sequences, the opening 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan beats this movie but the rest of SPR basically sucks. Big Red One on the other hand concentrates on a central theme of survival. The tag line at the beginning "This is a fictional story about factual death." says all there is to say about war movies. Are there flaws? Yes, just like any movie there are rough spots and inconsistancies. But unlike SPR, the director is more interested in telling a story than patting himself on the back. Watch this movie with an open mind and you too will be moved, shaken, stirred and drained. | 11 | [

2 | The Eastern part of the Church at Vatican II | 2005 was the 40th anniversary of the ending of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). This book adds to the remembrance of that great Council. Fr. Saba has provided to the world a great source for what the Melkites gave to the Church at the Council. They kept the Church from forgetting the Eastern part of the Catholic Church. Fr. Saba gives the history of the Melkites in summary form and then provides the history of their theology. He then provides the history of the participation of the Melkite prelates in Vatican II. They spoke up for the Eastern Church. They were also hoping to be a bridge between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. If you are interested in the Eastern Catholic Churchs here is a good one to read! | 11 | [

1 | Horrible Watch | Bought two of these at Big 5 for gifts. Both of them had broken wristbands. The adjustment pins are threaded instead of just push-out. All but 2 of them were stripped making the watchband impossible to adjust. Both watches were this way. Both watches had the luminous paint put on by a little kid. The part that connects the band to the watch looks solid but is actually just a piece of flat metal very cheaply made. It makes the watch lighter and cheaper feeling. The luminous paint is useful only for 20 minutes or so. The crown does not always connect to the gear that sets the time. Sometimes you can turn it forward a few hours then back half that then forward a few more. I'd rather own a quartz with a calculator on it. I give it 1 star instead of 0 stars because the box it came in is a useful ashtray. | 13 | [

2 | BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED | Grand theft auto 3 is the best game i ever played in my entire life! it is well worth the 50 bucks. You can do so much. Sure it's hard but what game isn't? it may have took me 2 months to pass the game, but i never finished the bonus missions. You can drive cars, do drive-by's, work for the Mafia, pick up hookers, start a 6 star police chase, and a lot more. With a few codes this game is really cool. the vital codes r health code, armor code, money code, all weapons codes, better driving skills, and lower wanted level. Not only can u drive cars. but u can drive boats too.Once u pass the "Grand Theft Aero" mission in Staunton Island u don't really have to do any more missions.If you r thinking about buying this game, stop thinking and BUY IT! This is truly the greatest game ever! | 11 | [

1 | Not one of his best | I am Higgin's fan since the Eagle has landed, but I found this book a disappointment. A bit too melodramatic. Abit too easy to guess. I also wish Mr. Higgin would come up with something new and exciting: he can do that, he has done so to us readers before. How many letter signed by Hitler himself were there in that war? (The gimmick was exciting in the Eagle has landed, but to use this trick again in Night of the Fox and again in this book was a bit too much.) How many more islands in the Channel would Higgin propup again? The deception-upon-deception up to a point is boring. In The Eagle has landed German team impersonated as Polish soldiers, only to find out Mr. Churchill was also an imposter. In Night of the Fox somebody acted as Rommel and the hero impersonated as SS officer. In "Filght" - Impersonating again. Please ! Even the Name Kelso was recycled from Night of the Fox. I find this really too much. | 14 | [

2 | Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban | I think Harry Potter is a great book. It's about a little boy, Harry Potter, who's mother and father died. If you have read the frist book you'll know the beginning. He read the newspaper , the Daily Prophet, and find out that the prisoner of Azkaban escaped. The meets the prisoner, Sirus Black, a few times and Harry thought he was bad. Harry actually finds out his was his father's best friend. The Ministery of Magic doesn't believe Harry and is still trying to catch Black. They evenually catch Black and locked him up. The headmaster at the wizardary school, Hogwarts, is the only one to believe Harry and gives him something called a "Time Turner" (something that goes back in time). Harry and his friend goes back 3 hours, just before Black gets captured, and hides him from the Ministery of Magic. They did this because then they would have enough time to tell the Ministery of Magic what had happened. They evenually finish the school year and win the House Cup. | 12 | [

2 | Old, but very, very nice. | This is old but good. It has a similar concept to "Numerical Recipes" by Press, et. al. but covers less ground, and at a more elementary level. Contrary to another reviewer, it does give plenty of examples at an elementary level, which I find quite helpful. That is an advantage sometimes if you don't need to wade through all the heavy artillery in "Numerical Recipes". Algorithms are given as pseudocode, and Fortran code which are easily transcribed into any language, such as VBA. I have owned this since 1980 and this is one of the more heavily worn references on my bookshelf. If you just need to quickly understand and code an algorithm, this is a great book to have handy. I see that used copies are cheap, and available. I recommend grabbing a copy. If the authors are still around to read this review - thanks for a really nice book! | 12 | [

2 | Very nice for the price!!! | I have been looking for a wine cellar for months and came across a few nice and likeable ones, but most of them were out of my price range. I happened to look online and saw the Winsome Wood Wine Tower. At first glance, I didn't know what to think, but then I looked at it again and visualize it in my dining area. Afterwards, I just knew it would look great and match perfect with the other furniture that I have in that area. The first steps were very simple, but when I got to the last step, it took me some time since I had to make the holes a little bigger. All in all, I spent about 2 hours putting it together. Anyway just as I visualized, it looked great! There were minor scrapes (I guess from the shipping and handling) but nothing that was too obvious. I am so happy to have found this wine cellar. I couldn't be anymore pleased. This is an excellent piece for the price as well. I love it! | 12 | [

1 | Nice to look at, but that's the only good thing I can say about it... | It's beautifully filmed. Cate Blanchette in B&W;, filmed in profile, is classic. Aside from that, the film is a horror. Wooden acting. One-dimensional characters. Boring and predictable plot. Utterly unbelievable story (Jewish woman married to S.S. man and NOT sent to the camps?! Uh-huh... Whatever...). Toby Macguire trying to be threatening is just toooo comical, as are the numerous scenes where George Clooney gets the heck beaten out of him.As someone fascinated by the era in which this film is ostensibly set, I was too disappointed for words by how rotten this movie was. You'd think that a story like this would have at least a little bit of emotional impact, or would be somewhat interesting, or would maybe at worst be suspenseful fluff, but this movie really had nothing to recommend it except for being pretty to look at. It might be better as an art exibit, viewed with the sound turned off, purely for visual effect. | 11 | [

1 | How did this go so horribly wrong? | You have a ton of great elements in Lord of Illusions. On paper, this project probably looked amazing. Just reading the synopsis, it sounds great! How could it go wrong? Unfortunately, the sum of all those would-be-awesome parts turned into little more than a disappointing let down.The dialog feels off. The actors don't seem to have enough to work with or maybe it's the wrong chemistry. Nothing is thoroughly explained - even for a mystery. Motivations are either hazy or non-existent. There are many "dead spots" where the film just kind of drags or loses focus. I don't know what happened, but Lord of Illusions sucks. Just saw it again for the 2nd time. My original viewing was about 10 years ago. It took me about a decade to forget how badly all those cool elements fit together.If you're looking for something even close to Hellraiser, then keep looking. This is probably why Clive Barker stopped making films.Awake!Venger As'Nas SatanisIpsissimusCult of Cthulhu | 14 | [

1 | Noooo....Uh-uhn...Uh-uhhhhn!!! | This movie wasn't exactly terrible, the plot was decent at times although it got dumb in the middle.1. I think there are a few charachters that were needless and brought down the quality of the movie. The cooks (the son and dad) kind of made this movie dumb for me, along with the cousin and MC Lytes charachter. None of these charachters really improved this movie.2. Treach was terrible as well. He's always been a terrible actor to me, ever since Jasons Lyric! In fact, imagine Treach's charachter in Jasons Lyric, well it's the same charachter here just bald!3. And this plot twist that every one is talking about was not that big of a suprise. I figured it out the first time the "other woman" came to the house. If you pay close attention you'll see this plot twist and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dumb.The only thing anyone has said about this movie that I agreed with is Allen Payne and Elise Neil had good chemistry. I would love to see them together again. | 11 | [

Now withthe ZOO cd ,I call this "SGT Peppers" cd. It is a littlewerid as you first hear. They have listened a lot to the Beatles, the writting staff for each song is superb! But listening to it again and again, vocal harmonies,would sound like Paul McCartney ,belting out a vocal line.This band is the bestband that has hit the christian music seen in ages,these guysare more than just creative,they are incredible!

1 | I wish I could send it back...... So disappointed! | Now in fairness, and the reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 star is because there was no false advertising and I apparently screwed up. I didn't do my homework and it's my fault and I guess your opinion of this will depend on what you're using it for.The lenses are alright and the magnification is okay. but they're *so* small. I wish I bought anything else but this. A few years ago I bought a couple of cheap radioshack magnifiers. They were similar to this. The lenses weren't quite as good, but they are *much* bigger. Since then, they've taken some damage and I was looking to replace them. This was not the way to do it! I'm so disappointed! If wasn't for me not paying enough attention when I read the specs on this item I'd give it a 1 star. I'm thinking about re-selling it because I'll likely never use this. If I got $10 dollars for it (40% of what I paid) it would be $10 that would use, unlike this. *so* disappinted!!! | 15 | [

2 | Exceptional Telenovela | This is an excellent period novel. The actors are well convincing in their roles and there is plenty of action. Includes realistic sword fights and scenes filmed on location instead of in a studio. If you enjoy reading historical romance; you will just love this. Fernando Colunga does an outstanding performance. Daniela Roma shines as the villain in this. Besides the main story, there are several minor subplots between supporting actors which are also very intriguing. Watching the four male lead actors together reminded me a lot of "The Four Musketeers". The background musical score was quite appropriate and enhanced with singing by Placido Domingo. The DVD does have English subtitles for those who are still learning Spanish. I enjoyed it tremendously and wish they would do a sequel. American soap operas don't even come close to this. Highly recommended! | 13 | [

2 | Great | First of all, I'd like to say that I loved this album. I don't know where people get that this is "alternative country". It sounds like real, true, traditional country to me. I guess because we don't hear much of that type of country anymore, it's hard to categorize different artists and styles. I'd also like to say to the Johnny Wilson person who reviewed this album before me--If you don't like country music, fine! But you don't have to bash it and try to ruin it for the people who do like it. If you hate, then don't listen to it. But country music is and always will be the BEST! Hello, is rock music so great? You can't even understand half the lyrics to the songs and most of the singers have stupid names like "Marilyn Manson" and "Nine Inch Nails". If you read the review guidelines closely, it says "please focus your review on the album content." Therefore, you aren't suppose to share your deep inner feelings about country music. | 12 | [

1 | ripped off | I am frustrated and extremely angry with this dealer, I placed this order Dec.31 2008. Please understand my bank account was debited on Jan 5th. After ample time elapsed I inquired..Where is my merchandise? A few more weeks...again an inquiry..where is my merchandise? And yet no merchandise and NO reply after polite inquiries. Fine, if its held up just keep me in the loop but nothing. So here we are in Feb and again I put out a request to cancel the order but have no reply. And being such a sucker and using an outside vendor Amazon cannot help me recoup my loss. By now it's more than the money it's the principle of it. So if you are considering using this vendor DON'T!! I suppose this is the best recourse I have. At least it may help someone else. (Actually is 0 stars but the system wouldn't take it.) | 13 | [

2 | Despite the errors...worth the inverstment. | This is a great teaching(learning) book. Very few books get the point across as well as this one does. Aside from keeping your interest, as the book progressed from fundamentals to the later advanced chapters, I felt I was learning throughout the entire book. One of the best attributes of this book are the case studies. Each one builds upon the last until you have built and programmed a complex campus network. I was delighted as the lights went on with each progressive insight. I was less than happy with the CD and the answers to the study questions, and feel sorry for the authors as the editing staff did a poor job of catching mistakes. There is an errata sheet on the publisher's website, and it did address the errors. I am told a second edition will address these issues. By the way, I passed the exam first try with a 792. Not my greatest score, but also not squeaking by either. I recommend this book despite the errors. | 12 | [

1 | Not recommended | I have owned this printer 6 months. I purchased it based on price, relatively compact size and all in one capability. I have had minor problems with paper jams. The print quality in the first 5 months was good for documents, good for photos. Copy quality was good. After 6 months, I was unable to print black text. I contacted technical support. They were not knowledgeable and I spent 2 hours online removing printer cartridges, cleaning printer cartridges, aligning printer cartridges (the extent of the "support"). I was told that the printer would be replaced with a refurbished unit and I would need to provide a credit card number to guarantee the exchange. My confidence in the "refurbished" unit is not very high. Luckily I have a replacement policy with CompUSA. Overall, not a reliable unit. | 12 | [

1 | Unfortunately, dreadful! | I've really enjoyed this series for so many years. I don't think anyone who starts the series with this book would ever get to any of the others. It was just goofy. I adore dogs, but Mungo the brilliant dog revealing his thoughts and motives to us was silly. The book seemed like an exercise in creative writing just to see how things would go. It had no ending which truly appalled me. It was wicked short. There are only about 339 pages, something like that. Lots of blank space on these 339 pages. Lots of short chapters. The "plot" was just ridiculous.I know if I read this review or any of the other incredulous reviews, I'd still buy the book anyway since I've been buying these books for so many years, but I'm warning you now, and I'm very sorry to say this, you'll wish you'd skipped this one. It really is dreadful. | 12 | [

2 | Bought for my dogs, found easy way to fill | First, filling it! I first tried using an air pump. Disaster! I then used the exhaust on my vacuum and its hose and filled it through the large hole meant to empty it. It filled VERY quickly. I also brought it to a friend's party for the kids, since she couldn't get HER pool to fill with air using a pump, and it had no other options to fill it.I reinforced the bottom by gluing a mat to the bottom. Filling all the air chamber sections was too high for the dogs, so I filled only one. It was perfect. The dogs loved it.The lower air chamber had a leak that filled the chamber with water! It made it far too heavy to move, but that was a plus since it didn't blow away on high wind days. It taught me that I could use that method for putting weight to it in the future. When the bottom air chamber became leaky, I simply moved up to the next. It lasted two years, then became junk. But, for the price, I can't complain! | 14 | [

1 | Awful, it was boring and focuses too much on fantasy | A fantasy story? How terrific! Only this falls flat. The plot was conventional and everything about it was mundane. There was nothing extraordinary to say about it. The boy goes on a quest to save the Empire but honestly I don't know how this exactly go to be a bestseller, not to say I have actually read the whole book! Fantasy books may probably be not my thing but this doesn't seem to offer enough lessons or interesting views on things you relate to. The plot is slow and there is something kind of odd in talking to a dragon who speaks through your mind. This book is a failure and this is just a journey on a fantasy adventure. Recommendations on improving is make your characters more stimulating or engaging, make them with character or a little humor. Also, it probably would help if they would meet recurring characters that would provide comic relief. This book simply falls behind expectations and was a waste of my time. | 12 | [

2 | An Awesome Book | This book as to be perhaps one of the best i've read. If you love batman or super heroes then get it. I read it in 2 days probably the fastest i've read a 400 page book. The characters are realistic and the story unfolds perfectly. NML if short rules. I lent it to a friend the day after i read it. And he loves it. It takes place after Gotham is hit by a massage earth quake and totally destroyed. After 3/4 the population leaves its condsidered No Man's Land and is illegal to enter and so the bridges to gotham are cut off. Batman is missing. Its complete anarchy and it really is a story of Survival of teh Fittest. | 11 | [

2 | Very much welcomed in my Horror toy collection! | Sota Toys did a fine job with 'Jeepers Creepers'' The CREEPER. Very detailed and amazingly accurate to what is seen on film. His face is sculpted perfectly! The eyes on this figurine are CREEPY! The Creeper surprisingly comes with several weapons/parts. These weapons are a fossil shaped throwing star, shank-style knife, and his awesome axe along with extra attachable wounded head and base. Those weapons are to be seen in part 1 and of course, 2. This is my second time owning this figurine because the first time I bought it, I was an idiot and opened it. haha. I've learned my lesson since then. Sota Toys is also the first to produce a 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' figurine! Happy hunting! | 12 | [

2 | Manduka: serious mat | This is a thick, heavy mat similar to industrial floor matting. It is heavy. Pick up a 7 lb weight & see what seven pounds feels like. I committed to an expensive mat on the recommendation of instructors. The inexpensive mat I was using was unsafely slippery, this one stays put. I gave it a vinegar bath and let it sit in the sun for 24 hours, it's good to go. As to smells, wash your mats. It's the same basic hygiene that makes one own, not share, an exercise mat. If you can afford it, do it. (what do you spend on a pair of trainer(sport)shoes that last six months?) Weight is the decision to focus on with this mat. | 11 | [
