Stunning
We saw Gary Burton live at Yoshi's in Oakland Ca. with the all stars. It's hard to explain the tremedous talent all these musicians displayed at this show. I guess I can only say they just knocked the crowd out. All four guest musicians were nothing less than outstanding and Burton was at the top of his game. Yes the cd rates 5 stars but live is ten. Christian McBride is Ray brown incarnated 35 years ago. The group obviously enjoys playing together as they smiled and laughed through a wonderful set of tunes that left the crowd wanting much more. We felt this group was worth every dollar paid plus some. Yoshi's club has the rare distiction of drawing great talent backed by comfortable suroundings and acoustics. Catch them live if you can.

interesting aerosmith cd ,
This one was their weakest of the 90's. The 90's saw Aerosmith release some great material and this cd has some of that on it. "nine lives', 'pink' and other tracks are prime aerosmith that are as good as what came before. "taste of india' is interesting too, but there's some songs on here that are more like 'done with mirrors' rather than 'pump'. It's not a bad cd at all though; and most of us aerosmith fans have rated this a five or four star on this site for good reason. It's a enjoyable work of songwriting mostly. There's a few misses on this one but it's far better than 'just push play'. which isn't all bad either. I have all of their cd's and some bootlegs even. So as a fan I would say that this was not a letdown for me back in 1997 , nor is it now. In fact , they need to stick out a new cd and get touring again in 2012.

I LOVE TARANTINO BUT READ THIS REVIEW!
Hi. This is a great Quentin Tarantino movie by all means. The dialoge is good, the acting is good, the story is good and it is shot very good. For the people who don't really like the Tarantino violence then this is a good flick for you. The only thing is, is that this movie seems long. I know Pulp Fiction is long but that movie is getting places and its enjoyable to watch the characters doing everyday stuff and its exciting to watch them for a long time (Ex. Bruce Willis' character walking from his car to his apartment to get his fathers watch). This is just a long movie that tends to drag just a little to long. It's still a great movie and it's very much worth it to wait for the great ending. Quentin Tarantino is my hero and I love his movies. He has inspired me to becoe a film maker. -Taylor J. age 14.

You'll be very disapointed.
Very bad. Stay Away Bad. Run Away Screaming in Pain Bad. Bad Bill! Baaaaaad!"The Man Who Got Thrown Out Of The Green Parrot" is almost amusing, but it's not a song, it's spoken word and isn?t something I could listen to over and over again. I had a hard time listening to the entire CD. It was an effort. Ugh.The sound quality is a mess and frankly the music just isn't any good. Listening to this was not an enjoyable experience. This CD is now used as a drink coaster for guests that I don't like.I?ve been to Key West several times and was told that Bill Jabanoski?s music captures the ?real, local color?. I guess that could be true. That is to say if you think the local color is the same color of vomit expelled by a cancerous, flea infested stray dog slowly dying in the gutters along Duval Street.Yup. It?s that bad.

Poser 6 DAZ 3D Studio
Okay. I'll admit it. I liked DAZ Studio a lot more than Poser 6 till this book came out. And I spent my cash on Poser 6 and DAZ Studio is free. But...With this book I'm now relatively happy that I have Poser 6. It's a great read. I don't know who did the editing but, GREAT job. AND I haven't even cracked open the CD yet! It's answering all those pesky new user "How do I fix this?" questions....The FAQs in the back are wonderful. For me, as a relatively novice user, this is the perfect addition to Poser 6.

Good, but not good enough...the heroine just wasn't there!
Mountain Laurel was a pretty good book...but I just didn't thought it was complete enough because the heroine, Maddie, just wasn't the heroine that should have been there. In my opinion, I think Jude made Maddie way too concieted, selfish, and and way too vain. First of all, Maddie keeps on saying that her voice is the best in the world, and in my opinion, that's way too vain! I couldn't stand it! And she's selfish because all she cared about was herself and not anything about 'Ring. She just wanted him to follow her around the world to listen to her sing, and she didn't care a cinch about 'Ring's Warbrooke Shipping Co. All she cared about was her own life, and how she has to sing...blah blah blah! But I'll give Jude some credit on 'Ring, the hero. He was nice, kind, and sweet. All he did was think of the best, but no...Maddie didn't care. All she thought about was herself. In my opinion, this book does not even deserve a star.

This series is much different during the season than the pilot . . . IMO a 4 to a 2 star.
I love the high school kids, I love the music . . . so much I found my eyes misting up. Ya . . . and I want them to win the Glee Club competition sooooo much.I've fallen in love . . .Hey . . . I'm a vet, I love military history, The Alien Trilogy, The Terminator Trilogy and Battlestar Galactica. I want to see the wall pasted with the bad guys.Can this really be happening . . . :)Note: At this moment I am pretty disappointed. I cancelled my subscription to Glee . . . the pilot was definitely a 4 star in my book. But the following series went downhill, IMO. The music changed, the plot seemed to get muddled and uninteresting. But especially the music . . . totally different. Mostly an obscure collection of semi-modern lyrical. Just disappointing

Incredibly Fast Shipping. Good Product.
Purchased this item at 11 AM. Used free supersaver shipping. Received the next day. Unreal. Apparently these are stocked in local warehouses. I live in a small Ohio city. The tracking number immediately showed a UPS exception. This was a first. The product itself is nice. Well made. Easy to use. Some commented on the shipping carton. It was a long box, with 2 separate box pieces taped together. The UPS man told me it looked like it may be damaged. It was fine. I do agree that there should be a box long enough for the item to fit in. The pole is solid enough that there was very little chance of damage. The box is so odd shaped that nothing else will be piled on top. This will be a useful product. Added: Minor dissapointment. Just saw this in my big box grocery store for $ 69.00-full price. This is a full price store-not a discounter.

Excellent
Why are people saying there are four remixes on the CD? Have you even listened to the re-released? It has the original 14 tracks, plus ONE remix- "We Belong Together"! The others are "Don't Forget About Us", "So Lonely" and "Makin It Last All Night."I loved this CD the first time it came out, and I love this version even more because of the DVD. The interview is HILARIOUS and we get to see a side of Mariah we never did before. I stood in a line for a total of 16 hours in the past two days to meet her, and it was absolutely worth it. She was amazing, as is the re-release! Madonna fans, don't clutter the reviews up with your inaccurate rantings. If you have something to say about the music, then say it. Don't come in here to promote Madonna- do it on her own CD's review.

Great on the verge of being awesome
Hulk Vs is a great video true to the Marvel style of story telling. Hulk takes on Thor and a comic favorite Wolverine. The Thor battle was great at first, but they made Thor look like a wimp when Hulk was in a rage. I would think that Thor would fare a little better seeing that he is a Norse God and has gone toe to toe with Superman. The Artwork is excellent! It would have been great to see Thor and Loki team up to send the Hulk back to earth instead of Hela.The Wolverine section was excellent! It almost put too much into the plot, but it was a good move to blend in some of Wolvie's old foes. It was cool to hear "OK, Bub, let's try that again." and "Hulk smash little man!" they made sure to include. I could've done without the various flashbacks. It's the Hulk vs Wolverine, you really dont need any flashbacks. Great ending though!

Not worth buying.
I was pleased to receive this set as the four piece set turned out to be a five piece set. However, after about a month the paint on one of the knives began to chip. I am very careful with my knives, having some knowledge of how to treat them as I collect knives as a hobby. I hand dry and sharpen all my knives personally. Never leaving them in the sink. I purchased this set because it seemed like a reasonable price and fit the bill as far as everyday needs in the kitchen. Otherwise, the blades are sharp and could look good if the paint didn't chip.Update on the knives: After 2 1/2 months I broke one cutting some Gouda cheese. The paint continues to peel off the rest of the knives. All said and done this is a poor product. If I could change the star rating I would change it to zero. I just trashed the set. What a waste of money. Made in China.

Dri-Sleeper - Poor Quality!
I purchased the Dri-sleeper for my son hoping it would help him. We told him how much this would help him and it barely worked for 3 days. He was unbelievably upset at how it failed over and over. I realized the main unit had an intermittent connection and tried to explain it to the help line. They kept insisting the main unit was fine and only the sensor needed replacement. In fact they repeated the line from the on-line documentation stating "the sensor is a wearable item and should be replaced from time to time". Are you kidding!! How ridiculous is that! I repeated that the main unit had a specific fault condition but the help line would NOT replace it. At this point we do not have a functioning bed wetting alarm for my son. My son, wife and I are very discouraged with this experience and think the Dri-sleeper product should be removed from Amazon!!

Is this it?
That's what I wondered after listening to this album. Is this IT? ...the Strokes? The band that's being compared to Velvet Undergroud??? This is the most oversimplistic, underproduced garbage I've ever heard. I can't believe what [junk] it is. So "Last Nite" is a good single and a so is "Is This It" And maybe perhaps down the road, Julian Casablancas has some talent in the songwriting department, but the lack of musicianship kills this album. There is no sound to the album. The vocals aren't muddy and unclear. The drums aren't well-mic-ed not to mention played with little skill or variation in style. The guitar playing is mediocre and all the riffs sound exactly the same. Honestly, I find it difficult to distinguish between the songs because they all sound very similar. This group focused a ton on their look and not enough on their music. I'm still shaking my head at this horrible, horrible album.

More Magical On DVD!
I must say, when I saw this in the theatre I would have reviewd this with two stars at best. It didn't work for me on the big screen.So I got the DVD to give it a second chance. And guess what? It works better on the small screen for me.The magic and story came alive for me and I really got a chance to look closer at the story and performances. Maggie Smith is one of my favorites and the kids are really good.The DVD extras on this one are the best. Take it to your computer or just explore on your own TV. The rooms and behind the scenes are very well done. There's a game and even a guided tour on this one.I also liked the fact they talked about the sequel coming next year. (Kenneth Branagh will be in it!) Overall this is a good made-for-tv-type film and works very well for home viewing. Give it a shot and ride your broom!

Works for Mac OS X 10.4.6 as in/out device and VOIP
I bought this headset hoping to connect to my Macintosh. Pairing was quick and effortless. I have used it as both an input and ouput device. And it works with both Skype and the Gizmo Project. I get 30 feet through the walls of my apartment just fine. I can even get to 40 feet with some static.I concur with most reviews on its good and bad points. But, think that most complainers do not read the instructions. It is a bit heavy. And the fit is not the best. But it is adjustable in ways that are not obvious w/o reading. It is my first BT headset and larger than I expected compared to those seen on the street. So it is not fashionable. But, sound quality is good.Overall a good value.

One of the best games for GBA.
This was my first sims game. It's really worth the money. You start off living in your uncle Hayseed's barn. After you complete some of the goals he makes you move of out of your barn and into the clock tower. I have spent hours playing this game. The time sort of goes by slow, but sleeping makes the time go three times faster. This game also can get annoying.1. Your sim might start to complain because it is hungry, has to pee, wants entertainment, or is tired. When this happens, you can't talk to anyone.2. If you get a dog, it pees all over your house and you can't punish it. You also have to clean it up.3. It's hard to please people. One of your goals might be to befriend the detective but the choices they give you to say will only make him madder.4. You have to pay your bills and sometimes others, like 1000 for club rub.Other than that this game is worth it.

Total Lies and Bull
It seems The Church is looking for the Bad Guys outside rather than face up to some very simple facts within. Number 1 the Church needed change to keep up with the times. Change is good and most members agree with the changes. The Masons did not do anything. The Church leaders did. The bad issues in the news such as sex abuse also had nothing to do with the Masons. If people just looked with an open mind you would see that the church needed to better screan their Preisthood. Looking to blame the Masons does nothing but take responsibilty away from church leadership. The book in question is mostly hate speach. After reading it and looking at each side and historians the work is just hate. Hate groups use works like this and often use God to justify such actions. The Masons are open to any good man regaurdless of faith. They do good across the world and don't deserve the negativity.

Typical Eurocentric Garbage
Let me start by saying that I had high hopes for this book and its premise. After the first chapter those hopes were dashed. The book is based around a society of people mostly of European descent that at most levels have a confrontational and aggressive policy towards Native Americans on the other side. Just like it occured over here in real history. Napalming a rogue band of "indians"? The book bases its storyline around a eurocentric point of view that, due to superior firepower, the indians are on the loosing end again. Lame. This book could've been so much more. Its just a case of alternate history repeating history. Lame. To much Flash-Bang and repetitive themes and not enough substance. How about a storyline where indians and "settlers" get along? If your going to rewrite a "history" try being original. I got about half way through this dump of a book and couldn't take it anymore. Not worth the effort to get to the punchline.

What if Hitler won World War II before we entered it?
SS-GB is what a history teacher of mine in high school called "iffy history." What does this mean? In a nutshell, the Battle of Britain was the turning point of World War II in the West. The period between 1933 and 1940 was an example of what in the Vietnam era was called "the domino theory." The domino theory what like this: "If Vietnam falls, then every country will fall." The first domino to fall to the Nazis, strictly speaking, was Germany itself. Then Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway. Half of Western Europe was under German domination. By 1940, there was serious doubt that Britain would survive. The Battle of Britain was won by Britain because of the RAF.

All the hype fell extremely short
When I first heard about Killzone 2 I was hesitant to get it but after talking to some people whom played the game I finally gave in and got a copy. After 6 days and about 10 hrs of game play, I reached the end of the game. I paused the game, put my controller down and yelled "Done" while tossing my arms in the air.Little did I realize that all the hype was for the multiplayer. That wasn't enough to make me hold on to the game. If I wanted to play a game with morons, I'd call friends over and say "Hey, just go crazy. Run around, shoot wildly or hide for most of the time."The only really good thing about the games were the graphics and weapons. The controllers were a mess also. Seriously, how could this game have gotten such high ratings? By far one of the most disappointing games for me since Street Fighter IV.My roots are old school. I could care less about multiplayer. Give me a deep campaign and a co-op option and I'm happy.

OK But Not Worth The Money
I purchased this preamp about 6 months ago. It is true that it makes your instrument warm and fat. If you are happy with this one feature then buty it. But this pretty much only occurs in low gain position. In high gain there are lots of tube whistling noises etc. So what I am trying to say is this is a rookie design and it should be left to the pros. Not worth the money because it is poorly designed. Inputs and outputs were mislabled and just bad workmanship. Don't let this company BS you. Buy from a proven company with lots of reviews. Sorry for negative review but I just don't want anyone else to get burned.

This stuff is NASTY!!!!
I've been using the old formula for YEARS and bought this new black cap formula after I ran out and couldn't find the original. After using it I wanted to CRY!!!! It's just plain NASTY and does not do what the original did. It's watery, too much perfume, and after my hair dried it was frizzy and had this poofy look to it. Birdnest comes to mind!!! For the price I paid for it I just wanted to scream! I would put this new black cap formula in the same category as Suave just more expensive. I wrote to the Nexxus company and was told they will not be making the old formula anymore, so now I'm hunting something else on the market that did what the old Nexxus one did. So far no luck. Please don't buy and use this new formula thinking it's the same...it's not. You will be soooo disappointed. Like I said this stuff is NASTY!!!!

User friendly DVD, highly recommended
This is a user-friendly DVD, highly recommended for those of us trying to shed some pounds/ tone up.1. It is comprehensive i.e. one can just follow the routimes in this through the week. I would however recommend a Stretch DVD for one day a week2. It can be done in the confines of the home, minimum extra equipment required, minimum space required3. It is relatively short, fits into daily schedule4. It is do-able by the "average joe". There is no complicated choreography. The routines are easy to learn. I would however recommend that one sees the DVD in full before attempting the first time. I would also say that it is tougher than it seems5. It can be done by both gents and ladies6. I would recommend that 6-times weekly option, but other options are also okay.Good luck - Abi

Thrash metal from the South
Temple of Blood's "Prepare for the Judgement of Mankind" is total thrash. It harkens back to the early days where speed killed and heads were banging. But the good thing is that the music is fresh and not a rehash of some other band. The vocals are clear and crisp. The drums are thunderous. The guitars are wailing & taking no prisoners. And the bass is thumping. If you love thrash, you'll want Temple of Blood's latest offering . . . you'll be coming back for more.

Movie of Love and Life
Wonderful and Beautifully inspiring musical movie. I saw the movie opening weekend that it came out. I have yet to see the stage version, but I definitely will next time it comes to Pittsburgh. I loved musicals, and the movie is fantastic. My favorite character is Angel. I bought the dvd because I enjoyed the movie at the theater so much. Unforunately some scenes were cut from the version I saw at the movie theatre versus the version on my DVD, and some of them are not even in the deleted scenes. One is, but the ending of it is different. That was disappointing, I liked those missing scenes. They made the movie even more powerful. I don't know how they can cut scenes from a movie in between the theatre showing and the reproduction of the DVD. That is so wrong. Fortunately I have those scenes in my head because of how powerful they were and I also have the soundtrack from the movie, so when those songs come up, I picture those missing scenes. "Goodbye Love"

Music Simply Marvelous
Musical theater and opera play a very big role in my life. Several years ago Kristina fran Duvemala was recommended to me. I don't know a word of Swedish, yet after several listenings to the 3-CD set, I was completely captivated by the music and the singing. Helen Sjoholm, Anders Ekborg, and Peter Joback are among my favorites now. I subsequently bought the Joback CD of Broadway songs. I am not at all surprised Mamma Mia is a big hit as Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus seem to have been born [Bjorn?] to write for the stage. The show Chess has various weaknesses, but the score surely is not one of them. To those of you who like the Chess music, I can only say wait 'til you hear Kristina. Its a healthy investment -- I overpaid [price] at Colony in NYC -- but worth every penny. I would travel to Minneapolis to see it in English, or even in Swedish, if it actually were performed there as was planned, at least at one time. I think it could be a major success on Broadway.

Don't watch if you are a TRUE fan of Trancers series
I am a big fan of the Trancers series. The last one Trancers 5 was supposed to be the last one. I was happy to hear that they are making Trancers 6. But, no Tim Thomerson? They put him on the box cover, but he is not in this film. They use old footage from the other movies and cut and paste.This time is Jill Deth. Jack Deth goes "down the line" and into his daughter (supposed to be the daughter he had with the character Lena (played by Helen Hunt in parts 1 and 2).I wouldn't say Trancers of the past are well written, great special effects Sci Fi. Trancers was a very solid B movie. What made Trancers work was star of Tim Thomerson.Jill Deth character is not going to work for future movies. What this franchise needs is the return of Tim Thomerson. If you want to pass the torch to somebody else, you are going to have find someone who can carry it. Not many people can. They are out there, but this girl who played Jill Deth is not going to cut it.

Disappointing!
I was disappointed. I love big action thriller movies. Unfortunately MI2 didn't deliver. The action scenes were too choreographed to a point that these scenes were cartoonish and MTV video-ish, which is the reasonon why I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief nor was I able to enjoy the movie. Example of it being cartoonish: The scene when Tom Cruise and the villain had a chest-collision. That made the whole movie into a a lousy joke. When I watch big thriller movies, I expect the experience to be like what I felt when I watch Terminator 1 and 2, a high-octane thriller with three-dimensional characters and unpredictable storyline. On the contrary, MI2's characters were so cookie-cutter, the plot elements so predictable. Even the love story there was so contrived and so corny. This was just a bad movie. This actually made me wonder what Tom Cruise was thinking. This movie is an insult to his target audience. I actually fell half-asleep while watching it.

My First Rendell
But not my last. I am a mystery reader - my wife gave me this one for Christmas. I am now definitely a Rendell fan. And this is definitely not your typical mystery. First off, within the first few pages you know who did it. But if you hang in there, a truly unusual tale unfolds, told in a nicely managed combination of flashback and present day. I thought I saw the ending written on the wall about half way through the book - and she keeps piling it on all the time - Rendell kept me riveted all the way to the very last page. I read the last hundred pages at one sitting because I couldn't stand it any longer. Looks like my Wish List is going to grow by several more titles. . .

Huh?
Stereotypical Spike Lee Joint.Racism. Color = good/smart. White = (most likely) bad/stupid.Bludgeoning foul language. Maybe Spike and his homeys talk like this, but I doubt that most people do. It would be difficult to count the f-word in all it's iterations here. In a two-hour movie, that's a LOT of wasted dialog.Moral relativism. Spike lives in the grey, few of us in real life do. The heroes of this movie are the ones who terrorize innocent citizens.Loose ends. We're left wanting a LOT of closure.I had to ask my teens to leave the room. That was my first clue. At the end, I was sorry I had wasted my time on the whole thing. My real disappointment was that Denzel and Jodie had anything to do with this.

Brilliant Angel
Yes, little miss Rimes is back with this great new album. The album has received very little media interest and has been slated but if u're a LeAnn Fan, this won;t bother u. Life Goes on is the first single to be taken from this album and wot a corker!! I luv the guitar feel t her music now. I've liked leann's music since Can't Fite the moonlite. Most of the songs have the guitar feel of Life Goes on, with my fave songs being Life Goes on, Suddenly, No Way Out and Wound Up. I am not too keen on Love is a Army or any of the more country styled songs cos it's not my style. Worst song is Tic Toc, it has no real puropse and has annoyed me since day 1. But LeAnn's voice overcomes this glitch and pulls off a great pop album. LeAnn Rimes now sits at the top of my cd rack along with Bellefire. Good stuff LeAnn and keep it up. Suddenly is rumoured to be the next single - good move

Causes thyroid disorders.
I used SlimQuick. I'm 23, healthy, 15 pounds heavier than I'd like to be. I work out regularly and am athletic.I used this product for about two weeks, when I started to feel awful. I stopped using it. I went to a doctor. A week later, I found out I had thyroid cancer.I checked the back of SlimQuick. It said risks "avoid using if you have thyroid disease."This product works by raising your T3 hormones in your thyroid (which regulates your metabolism and can cause hyperthyroidism).Could the two be related? Tumors grow at a rate or 2 mm per year on thyroids. I have gone to doctors every year regularly with no problems. My tumor is nearly two inches large and must have grown quickly.Do not take this product.

Not A Keeper
Doesn't come close to its marketing hype: "...melds the sweeping adventures and dramatic landscapes of Lonesome Dove ..." Give me a break! The author doesn't know the first thing about good description to give you a feel of location. I had to keep searching backwards to find where she might have mentioned the name of territory or state or town to give me a clue. The characters are never fleshed out. Nothing and nobody, not even the dogs, come off the page. Through one third of the book, I started skimming and skipping just to get to the last page. I could have fed a lot of quarters into a one-armed bandit and at least had fun losing my money. I've read a lot better pioneer women stories, written by men! Just bad story telling. And exactly that. Dry telling. No showing. Nonfiction history and "real diaries" are more interesting. I don't think I'll buy anymore Regan Books if this is an example of what they publish.

The ultimate survival horror game
This game blows Resident Evil away. It takes creepy and multiplies it by two. There are so many good points in the game to make it playable again and again.Some of my personal favorite things about the game are how the streets are named after horror writers like Stephen King and Ray Bradbury. I love it when you enter into a room and hear voices or soft crying but no one is around. It really intensifies the game. The sound track is awesome. At certain points the music gets so loud it sounds like it's pounding and your pulse starts to increase because you just expect something to happen but you don't know what. The best part is you're just a normal person. If you run for a long time you'll get winded and start panting. Also when you use the gun the enemy will have to be close or you won't come anywhere near hitting them.I'm a little disappointed with the ending though. It's very confusing and leaves questions unanswered. I can easily overlook this though.

People take this album seriously?
Geez, how could anybody take Madonna serious? I don't, neither should you. This garbage is plastered over every "music" channel known to man. If her kids weren't such spoiled brats, i'd feel sorry for them. You're getting old Madonna, so is your act, and you're false religious lies. In fact, everything about you should have died long ago. I only give you credit for not dying yet. Nothing about her music is talented. End of story. There is hope though. Back in 1986, when she was around, making music just as bad. A little band called Slayer released the masterpiece "Reign in Blood" as a slap in the face to mainstream pop. Twenty years later, this Tuesday, Slayer is back to do it again. Christ Illusion will destroy this unworthy piece of trash.

Great cleaner for the price
I purchased this product after my Bissel steam deluxe burnt. It was leary because the price on this one is much less. But, a it turns out, I am rather impressed. It is much easier to load, and to clean as each step has a different reservoir. Quick to set up and quick to use. It has done a better job on stains, perhaps because of the design of the scrubbing brushes. The switches are in good locations and comfortable during operation.If I found a drawback it would be I think that it could leave the carpet a little dryer. I have had it turn out great, near dry and then the next time damper than I would like. I am not sure if it was something I did or not. The front area suctions well, and cathes more hair and dust than one would imagine was even there! I would purchase this product again just because of the ease of use and clean up it makes it more inviting to use frequently.

Scorpion Palace
This is a great set. It took a decent amount of time to put together and it was fun. It looks great too and the alternate models on the back of the box look like they'd be great to build too! Wish it came with instructions for those. The minifigs are cool, though I wish it came with more Palace Guards. Are you listening Lego? The action features are neat as well, very Indiana Jones, which is the idea. I've had a lot of fun crushing Lord Sinister underneath the boulder. I even read the instructions on how to play the game and it seems like it could be really fun. This was a good idea. Now I can attatch all my Orient Expedtion sets and have a whole world of adventuresome fun.

This THING must be taken out of the market
This is such a BADLY designed toy that this is not even a toy. US must raise this in United Nations and all the freedom loving nations must pass a resolution strongly condemning it. Might even make sense to put trade embargoes against these Slinky guys. Whosoever designed this THING must hate humanity. They must be out of this world - might be even from another galaxy. I have hardly written a review of anything, but this THING really forced me to drop everything else and start writing a review. It is so poorly designed that not even NASA scientists can assemble this. Even a real radio can be created faster than assembling this thing. WHAT A RIP OFF!! Who designed this??? Forget an 8 year old - nobody, I mean nobody, regardless of any age or intelligence or expertise can assemble it. Put your money and time somewhere else.

This has been a great drive until it failed. I use the Maxtor strictly to back up my system each evening. After several months I noticd an occasional loud grinding noise coming from the drive. Eventually it made the grinding noise all the time - sounded like an electric pencil sharpener. Anyway, I informed Mxtor/Seagate. Their warranty records were good. They offer an option where for $20 they send a replacement drive to me and I can send my old drive back in the same shipping container. It has taken a couple weks for a replacement drive to come in stock. I just received word today my replacement is on its way. It's een frustrating having to wait so long to back up my system. Fortunately,because it's a backup, data loss is not an issue for me. I hope this review helps you make a decision.

not funny
I can't believe that Netflix recommended this to me based on my viewing history of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That is a top notch show full of laughs. I watched 2 episodes of this and didn't laugh ONCE. IT IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!! David Cross is just terrible. The script is terrible. The plot is stupid. No wonder this junk got cancelled, it is simply stupid. If you have an IQ over 100, avoid wasting an hour of your time like I did. How this got so many 5 star reviews? How did Pootie Tang or Family Guy get so many 5 star reviews? There are a lot of idiots out there.

Suspenseful and Original..
This book takes you behind the walls of West Point and even beyond. The author has great attention to detail, and really depicts well the lives of First Class Cadets Girardi, Straup, Polanski, and McConnell. There's also the very smart, honorable Fourth Class Cadet Thorne to add to the list of great characters in this novel. I won't give away the story, coz I know I don't like that too much, but I do have to say.. I already knew the main plot before reading it, and there were still enough surprises for me to thoroughly enjoy the book. It's a great read. It's got a new and old quality to it. It's got danger, action, intrigue, love, betrayal, and idealism all put together quite nicely. It will make you think more deeply of what YOU'RE notion of HONOR is as well. Really interesting. I recommend it to anyone and everyone! GET THE BOOK. It's worth it! *Suggestion, don't read past the first paragraph of the inside flap coz it gives away something.

UGH
I stopped buying VCA books after Black Cat, and sold all of my VCA books that came after the Logan series. The only reason I read the April Shadows was because my roommate had both books, and since it was free... why not?Even free, I still feel used and wasted. These two books are NOT VCA. Nowhere even close. April is not a good VCA name like Heaven, Dawn, or Ruby. The titles did not make sense. April wasn't a real heroine. There were no horrible, dark secrets (her father's secret was laughable) and no real family secrets at all. This book focused a lot her stumbling (and unrealistic) explorations of her own sexuality. And two books for this series? Come on...I'm waiting for V.C. Andrews to climb out of her grave and rip Neiderman a new one.

Beach ball contains TOXIC Taiwan Material!!! Do not give to children.
I was shocked that after my husband blew this up, a sticker stating that it contained a materials that causes cancer and reproductive issues became visible. We were going to let my 1-year old play with it but threw it away immediately. I know it was made in Taiwan, but really, a beach ball that children will play with? Waste of money and scary to think of the material decomposing in the sun. DO NOT GIVE THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN. Are there any regulations? There are many inflatable objects that don't contain this type of carcinogen. Would have appreciated knowing this so I didn't purchase. Too much of a hassle to return. Wonder what my husband ingested blowing it up. Buy at your own risk but please don't expose your children to it.

Where the heck was the editor?
I'm all for suspending disbelief and I enjoy a good little mindless adventure. It was a lot of fun reading through a book with non stop, albeit slightly silly adventures, sort of allows ones brain take a little holiday. That being said, though, I spent the larger portion of this book wondering where the heck the editor went. I mean wow! This book makes a bigger use of exclamation points than I've ever seen! It's sort of like having a conversation with an excited 11 year old girl! Lets not forget the liberal use of italics! Just in case the exclamation points didn't get the point across well enough! Let's hear it for enthusiastic writers! It was similar to reading a story written by my eleven year old daughter! Actually, I was a little disappointed in the book! I usually really enjoy Reilly's books, but the editing of this one drove me...well..crazy!! Okay, I'll stop with the punctuation now...! (Sorry had to do just one more..)

A Bloody Awesome Remake!!!
I watched the original a few days before I saw this to get ready for the remake! I had the pleasure of seeing this with my ex-girlfriend, whom I haven't seen in eight months. (We're still friends.) We both thought this remake was pretty good. I loved all the gory deaths and thought all the deaths with the pickaxe were very creative! The remake is pretty different than the original. Ten years after a Valentine's Day Massacre, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony to sell the coal mine. Soon after, the murders start again. Another part I loved was when the smokin' hot naked girl was running around and trying to get away from the coal miner. I didn't get to see it in 3D, but that was okay. If you love horror, gore, sex, and chocolate, I highly recommend that you be MY BLOODY VALENTINE!!!

I''ve had this for one year now...
I ordered the first one. It was broken-no suction. Amazon sent me a new one really quick. Yay Amazon.The second one was functional...mostly. The check valve relief was broken. It was made of very cheap materials. The handle was very flimsy, and although the siphon/pump worked, it poured extremely slow with only a trickle coming out at the end (even with the reservoir high above the tank for max gravity). Be prepared to wait a while when you are filling up a riding lawnmower tank. When you are done filling your tank, be prepared to get excess gas everywhere from the spout and what's left in the hose. Although the instructions stated that it worked with my tank, it's only useable for about 2/3 before the pump draws air and kills the siphon.It lasted 8 month, and now it is dead. I think it has a warranty on it, but it's junk in perfect working order, so I'm not going to call it in.Summary: Don't buy this.

Not so good.
I read Macho and thought it was an accurate, honest book. It was very good. I enjoyed it. Someone recommended Rain of Gold, so I started it. It starts out interesting and enjoyable and then goes sour. Senior Villasenor weaves a tale I just don't believe. It gradually turns into a 'blame it all on the Anglo and Bad Mexicans' story. He can't find anything good or even understanding about these 2 peoples. Apparently he does this in an attempt to excuse some of his relatives who were involved in organized crime ( naturally because of the Terrible Gringos and the Worthless Mexicans ).I finished over half of the book, which was difficult. I suspect that the rewiews for this book are invalid (author, family write-ins).It's your typical 'blame it all on the Anglo' (and in this case 'Bad Mexicans' who are any Mexican-Americans Senior Villasenor doesn't like. This is a pity because Macho was an very good book. Hopefully the author will resolve some of his issues.Barry Coe.

Arguably the best (and perhaps the only) American progressive rock band...
Kansas is an anomaly in American rock. They are probably the only truly progressive rock band in American history, and a damn good one. They can stand with any of the great British progressive bands (and I love progressive rock). This album is definitely the one I dig the most. While Song for America and Point of No Return are excellent too, this one is the most consistent with not one bad track in the whole album. My 2 favorite songs are Miracles Out of Nowhere and Magnum Opus. I love the intricacy of both of them, especially the latter. From their debut through Monolith, they were putting out great album after great album. Their arrangements and songwriting was some of the best American rock ever produced. It's a shame that they splintered in the 1980's, and ended up in so many different incarnations. But we still have their 70's output to hold onto...

Can't Buy a Thrill
Folks, DJ's are sampling/mixing "Do it Again" in 2007! I hear it every night on KBIG 104.3 (Los Angeles) on their mix-downs late night (Monday thru Friday). The fact that it has been remastered is to everyone's benefit. This is rock-and-roll?? This came out in 1972?? Steely Dan just rocks! Period! Get your copy and see what we've all been missing! Mssrs. Fagen and Becker are truly "two of a kind." Five stars!

Best one out there
I am an Electrical Contractor. Primarily new residential work. Ive been drilling studs, beams, etc.. etc. for years and there is no Rigid, Milwaukee, or any other manufacturer that can build a hole hawg that comes anywhere close to this drill. I use 7/8 ship augers on high speed all day long, and 1-1/2 self feeding bits ( plumbers bit) on high speed as well and can drill out a house twice as fast as any competitor. i do recommend replacing brushes every 25 homes or so, keeping a spare handle and spare chuck key on hand. The Makita chucks only fit makitas, and the handle will break if dropped hard enough on it. However having it made with plastic is a safety feature. Id rather have the handle break than my wrist break! Anyways people, throw those Milwaukee hole shooters and hole hawgs away! boo on those things.

Terrible. Dreck.
Unlike most, I found Excavation to be much better than Deep Fathom. Rollins' strengths are in plot twists, engaging premises, and strong, stock characters. Unfortunately, he leaves all of this on the surface for Deep Fathom.In all honesty, I did not finish the book. I couldn't. It was simply too awful. Too many details rang untrue. Many of the stories premises were beyond the scope of believability. The characters were uninteresting, and the tensions between the characters was simply laughable. You can enjoy a book for what it is, but only if it is true to itself. This book came up empty on all counts.I have no problem with suspending disbelief. However, a book of this caliber has me running, not walking, back to better crafted novels.

great read!
As usual, Jack provides you with a great read. I enjoyed the character growth of the heroine in Infinity Beach. She starts out actually comfortable in her life while she expresses that she would like to do more in her degreed profession. When push comes to shove, she doesn't want to change. So she is a reluctant heroine. Then she drags in another-who is as reluctant. I enjoyed getting to know those two characters very much.I enjoyed the tension of their relationship.The perception of clone development was interesting. The development of their personalities was similar to twins. As I raised twins, I saw the similarities. Before reading the book, I would have put clones in more of a mirror image, if I had thought about it at all.The reality of what happened was good. A bit of a surprise but one that fit right in with the characters. I do so love his character driven books. And the aliens? Well, you will just have to read it to find out!

There have to be better choices . . .
. . . and I'm looking for them. I picked up this book while browsing biographies in the library, and was just appalled at the writing when I opened it to start reading. Though it seemed to be grammatically correct, it was, as previously noted, dry, lifeless, and, in short, a drudge to read. With Tesla's brilliance and eccentricities, there is no reason not to have a lively book . . . apparently the author thought the subject matter would carry the day. It didn't.

A Shock to the System
Well, I just read other reviews on this book - and my initial response is, why read a book that obviously isn't your cup of tea? Yes it is gory but that's this particular reader's preference. Sure it is ugly and I read to be shocked. And I was. I found it took me a little while to get into this book, hence my decision to give it 4 stars. However, once the author had grabbed my attention, she had it - I couldn't put the damn thing down! Halfway through, a major plot change happened and left me thinking "What the heck?" and I couldn't wait to finish it. I loved this book. I gave it to a friend of mine - and she too has the same opinion. If you want background and thorough reasoning to why killers kill - keep with true crime, if you want a great fast-paced interesting fiction story about killing, then this is it. I can't wait to read another of this author's works.

Buy a Different Chill Pad
I bought one of these to go with the new laptop my husband gave me. It does work to keep your legs cool. While it worked it did what it said - kept my computer cool. It was not the quietest, but not super noisy.It worked for less than a month. I returned it, got another one. It worked for about 2 months. So I had to deal with Targus. No go on the return. They told me it was a problem caused by misusing it. It had a little on/off toggle installed in the USB cable. Both times it came unwired. Parts stuck out.It was not turned on or off more than once. My computer sits on the desk. I don't even generally move it to sit it on my lap. I did that with the first chill mat. With the second I did not move it. Left it on the desk, just unplugged the USB end of the cord. It came unwired anyway.Don't buy this one, buy one that will work.

Save your money
One of the worst books I ever read, if not theeee worst. It started out with a lot of promise. The author does touch on some good issues and why the war started. But he bogs down with poor character development and an even worst ending. (...) Absolutley the worst job ever. I felt robbed cheated and let down. The only thing I can possibly think is that the author wanted me to feel as bad as the Rebels when they surrendered. The writing style is so annoying. The main character is a moron. I thought of Homer Simpson the whole time. I mean the guy was clueless throughout the entire book. It started to piss me off. I had to force myself to continue. I strugggled to finish it believing you should finish what you start. Too bad the author didn't. I threw my copy in the trash so I couldn't ruin anyone elses day with it, ever.

Very Interesting
It's a very interesting book. It shows our feelings very well. It's simple to read. But I think it's more a book for women than for men. Mrs Craddock is an intelligent person and she has married a simple man. In the beginning she is very in love with him. And they are lucky. But later she notices that he is not Mr Right and her life gets boring. She leaves him and meets someone else in Italy.... I can recommend this book to everyone which is interested in love stories. But it's not a simple love story with a happy ending!

Great Alternative
I agree with the bill sheppard. This does seem like a great alternative to the panasonic version of this toaster. I like the looks of the toastmaster better..so I went with it. I wonder if toastmaster benchmarked panasonic and tried to improve upon the panasonic. Quality is good and it does address the shortcomings people have with the panasonic. Ive had it for a few weeks now and it has done a great job with toast and pizza. Both evenly cooked and faster then a traditional toaster. The lack of a temperature adjustment works out just fine. The temp settings are predetermined for the type of food you are cooking. You just have to adjust the time. I hope the long term reliability of this unit is as good as my first impressions.

Very disappointed compared to Windows version
I have used Print Shop for many years on my Windows operating systems so I know the program pretty well and really like it. As soon as a new version came out, I bought it. So when I got my iMac of course I had to have Print Shop on it also. I was disappointed to find out that Broderbund did not have a version for the Mac. But another company did, so I was happy and purchased it. Needless to say I was very disappointed with the Mac compatible version. I don't even know why they would call it Print Shop. It is almost a completely different program. The great thing about this program that the Window Program doesn't have, is that you can open two pages at the same time and transfer images from page to another. It is also really slow. I really wish I could get the Windows version for my Mac.

The Wonder and Magic of Christmas
I saw this cd in the bargain bin at the Kroger grocery store for 3 dollars. I noticed it had the original recording of There"s Always Tomorrow sung by Janet Orenstein . When I was a little boy I fell in love with Clarice just like Rudolph did. This song really touched my heart and Janets voice was sent from Heaven above. Anyway I bought this cd and I must say the orchestral arrangements by Johnny Marx are priceless. The music on here will fill your heart with the Christmas Spirit and Christmas Joy. There are experiences in life that are just pure magic. This is one of them.There are only 2 other Christmas Albums that can capture Christmas . Jackie Gleasons Snowfall and Bert Kaempferts Christmas Wonderland. Johnny Marx was a genius and it is no wonder He is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Burl Ives only sings a couple songs on here but they are such classic recordings , they bring all the memories back.

good
I recently rescued a fearful 105 lb. Great Dane. I got this when we first got her, but didn't want to give it to her every day. I love azmira products, and use them religiously. I really saw a difference when I gave her 4. Large dogs are to have 2-4. We took her to someone else's house who had a dog and normally this would be very stressful for her, but after a half hour or so she laid down to sleep...which was surprising. It definitely works, but I don't think it's a miracle worker. I've given it to her before the vet (She gets agressive at the vet.) and it didn't phase her. Again, I think this product depends on the severity of your dog's issues.

The Ambiguity of Genius
Laura Nyro was a gifted song writer and I loved the sound of her voice. If she was guilty of suicidal screeching, as has been suggested by some, what does that say about every other over paid rock diva? But honestly, this album has always left me a bit chilled. The landscape is bleak. There is a good groove going on Lucky, I never understood 'Dig those potatoes.' I wish I could have been there to talk her out of that line. Timer has wonderful potential, but oh that introduction. The recording of Sweet Blindness, endearing song, is a mess. There are under-appreciated gems here, December's Boudoir and The Confession. Don't dismiss this album out of hand, no artist could make a more penetrating statement about urban life. Some say it took them years to "Get" Laura Nyro. She grabbed me on my first hearing as a young teen-ager and never let go. If there is a more gifted singer-song writer out there, I don't know who it is.

a loosely connected lattice of disparate sound
I've been waffling. I've waffled. I wasn't sure what to make of this album when I first heard it. I mean, I liked it, sure, but how much? And why? Well, to the first question, I answer, 'a lot.' I think it might be my favorite this year. Maybe. As to the 'why?', well, it's different. I hadn't really heard anything but one other song by Alpha, so I don't know how similar their older stuff is to 'The Impossible Thrill', but this album is definitely different than anything else I've ever heard. And in a good way. It's quite a beautiful album. Some criticisms of the album that I've read have cited the seeming lack of song structure as one of the primary weaknesses of the album, but I think it's a major strength. Because the songs don't follow standard song structures, the album unfolds like a dream. It's still hard for me to keep up w/where some of the songs go. Quite an impressive effort.

pretentious,er wannabe !!!
another er clone !!!. this one concerns the private and "professional" lives of three nurses (it would seem the hospital only has three nurses.) these nurses not only get personally involved with patients(how professional!!!) but seem to be even more medically knowledgeable than the doctors. most of the time they give medical advice to doctors concerning patients . (how moronic and rediculious). i guess the doctors in this hospital are all morons and not as medically informed as doctors realistically are. so the bottom line about this series is idiot doctors and brilliant nurses. what a croc of s@#$!!!.

I just dumped mine out
I would have bought a new one, but they seem to be hard to come by quickly, for a reasonable price. Amazon doesn't stock them and the "other sellers" are not very well known. No luck at Office Depot, Staples, Tiger Direct, Adorama, etc. So . . . I just dumped mine out (yes, it's a dusty job), brushed it off, and put it back in. Seems to work fine. I was amazed, however, at the large quantity of toner I paid for that has been wasted. There doesn't seem to be any point in buying a new one of these, but maybe after a few cycles it'll get clogged. For now, though, all is well.

Not my money, not my time
Let me qualify my review with the fact that I did not, and will not read the book. I will explain. For years I have been reading this series, and for many of those years the series was good. Then Jordan started milking the story and dragging it on. There is now no end in site. He has shown that he can write a whole book that takes place in the last 5 minutes of the previous book. Ladies and Gentlemen Robert Jordan has sold out. To cash in even more on the story that people have to read to see how it all would end (the man is still a talented writer afterall), he has released a prequel. Jordan should have put this time and effort into finishing the series at hand. I think Jordan has lost a great many readers in the past few years, and I think this book will encourage more migration. Read Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series instead.

Might be the best (girl) thing ever...
I'm 38 and never had kids, so wondered about how the #2 would fit. Fits perfect. I've worn it kickboxing, cross-fit, running for miles. I do have to say, when doing minute after minute of jumping jacks or jump rope, I have to squeeze the kegels a little - gravity is a bitch. Otherwise, I never feel it and have gone longer than the 12 recommended hours simply because I forgot. Twice a day! When I get up and when I go to bed! All in the privacy of my own bathroom/shower (super easy in the shower)! No more accidentally peeing on your string (I hate that)! No more "I forgot to bring more tampons"! No more boxes and boxes of tampons stored away! No more spending money on tampons! It IS a big investment compared to a box of tampons, but I'm on month 4 with my Diva cup and it has more than paid for itself.I whole-heartedly recommend this for anyone who isn't grossed out by the concept. :)

A Surprisingly funny movie
I first saw this movie as a sort of mistake- you know when you sit down, turn on the tube, and a movie you never heard of is just starting. I was close to turning it off several times but something always stopped me. I mean, who wants to see a movie about some poor kid that has to live in a bubble? Sounds very depressing.The movie starts off kind of slow but then begins one insanely funny scene after another. I won't bore you by previewing the scenes. I know this movie will not appeal to everyone. But if you laughed a lung out watching the bean eating scene in Blazing Saddles, then this movie is for you. Slapstick- yes! Close to offensive-yes, at times. Dumb moments- of course. There is no way to write a movie like this without them.So if you want to sit down for an hour or so of some good laughs, watch this movie. Even better, if you have friends with a sense of humor like yours, watch it together for the first time. You will have lots of fun laughing together. Enjoy. GC

Wow! What an Eye-opener!
This book is fantastic! I hold an MBA from a Top 10 business school and have 15 years' corporate experience, yet I was frustrated that I did not really understand how to build wealth creatively outside of investments from money in my paycheck. Then I read Robert Kiyosaki's "The CASHFLOW Quadrant" and Allen's "Multiple Streams of Income." Wow! It all came together for me. I now have a goal of creating two new streams of income this year and two more next year, and I am confident that I will succeed. . . This book is invaluable in providing guidance and stimulating the creative gland. It provides step-by-step instructions toward building some streams and invites the reader to imagine others . . Stephen R. Covey said in his recommendation that this book will shift the reader's paradigm. He was right. If you read "Multiple Streams of Income" and imagine the possibilities, you will never look at yourself, your job or your paycheck the same way again.

Uninteresting
I appreciate that these fellas appreciate the blues, but it's all too obvious that these boys is fakin' it. It didn't help that when I saw them play at Satyricon in Portland, that they had no nuance what-so-ever. The drummer just played as loud as he could the whole time. He said absolutely nothin' by doin' so. I was impressed by the harmonica playing, but I was not sold by this band in the least. If it's guitar drums and vocals that you're after (no bass guitar), then get yourself ahold of Elmo Williams and Hezekiah Early's CD called Takes One To Know One. The Flat Duo Jets' first few LP's are also incredible and worth finding although they is outta print (self-titled and Go Go Harlem Baby). Their in-print stuff is pretty good too, though. The first single and LP by The Gossip are also really great, too. Don't forget about the two-guitar and drums attack of Hound Dog Taylor and his Houserockers. These Soledad boys cover their Give Me Back My Wig, but the original is so much better.

Watch out - check these immediately! 4 out of 5 won't play at all!
I purchased this set in December 2009 to have on hand, but did not watch them immediately. This week, in anticipation of the final film's release, we wanted to go back and watch all the previous ones at leisure. "Sorcerer's Stone" was fine, enjoyed it. The next night, we popped in "Chamber of Secrets". Locks up just starting to play. We messed with it for a while, checked on possible software updates to the player, etc. Finally watched the DVD version which I also had. To make a long story short, four of the five disks will not play. The newest player (LG 3D model) does nothing at all. An older Magnavox BD player just tells me that playback may not be enabled for this disk (!?!?!). So I'm waaaay out of the return window on this set.

My Floor are Finally Clean All Day!
I agree with the other reviews that this floor cleaner is not good for picking up dust and dirt. BUT, if you want a wet floor cleaner this one will do the job. I have marble floors in my foyer and kitchen and a dog that is paper trained. When he misses the mark, it has been a real chore to clean up the mess. Now, with my new floor cleaner it is done in a wink. It does remove the water and make the floor dry. If you have an uneven floor a puddle may form, but just go over the spot and it is gone. I don't know if this works well on wood floors, but my marble and tile floors are clean, clean, clean. I could not believe how dirty the water was after using this machine. I did not find all the parts cumbersome to maintain. I keep the soap container filled at all times and just remove the extracted dirty water at the end of each day and rinse the pieces.

Probably the best I've ever seen
I watch a lot of anime, and happened to catch this on fansubs. This is probably the BEST series I have ever seen. No question, buy it. The only thing that sucks is that they're choosing to release it Bi-monthly! With 7 volumes in this series, that's over a year to get them all. Come on Pioneer! Release things faster! Do you think you'll sell more if you space them so far apart? Where's the logic in that. I'd think the opposite would be true and people would lose interest.Regardless, get this series. It's amazing.

Blink182 Obsessor
ok this is a really good cd and i really recommend you buy it. I agree with some of the other reviewers who said that you should listen to their other cd's and not just enema because you heard some songs on the radio. Seriously, you have to buy the old cd's they are great. However, i disagree that they sold out. First of all I think the concept of selling out is stupid - so many bands are accused of selling out, and seriously who cares? They havent changed their music at all, they didn't turn pop or anything. they are still punk. They are still playing for the sake of playing the music and thats it. By the way (hey this is worth a try) if mark or tom or travis is reading this PLEASE PLEASE email me at [email protected] it would be the bestest thing to ever happen to me! But honestly you have to get this cd it is so good. get the other ones too.

Helpful and readable experience from a real pro trader!
There are several reasons for my positive rating of this book. First, the author dared tell his dire trading failure in 1987 and the consequent financial and emotional trouble from then till 1992. Second, he emphasized repetitively on the need for one's own trading journal, protective stops and preparaton before any trade. Third, he elaborated plainly his past unsuccessful day trading routine. Fourth, he preached detailedly the importance of special dates and key numbers. Fifth, he respected Jesse Livermore much. I do, too. Finally, I had read four of his seven suggested readings beforehand. Our thoughts should be close. Perhaps the major weakness I can tell of it is that he had talked very little on TA tools, or at least the importance of them on day trading. In short, readable! But not on the top priority list.

Only $11...and it shows
This gun didn't work when we got it. So, I opened it up and fixed it. Then it broke again...broken meaning the gray piece does not click in place and therefore does not fire. Somehow the spring gets hung up inside. It has been fixed a few times and is now again broken. Thank God my son has a lot of imagination and a lot of heart. This would be in the garbage if I had my way. I will e-mail Nerf. I was surprised when I looked back to see how highly it was rated to find people had good experiences with it. Sure, it is only $11, but at this point we have too many "only $11 toys" that are taking up space in a landfill somewhere. What happened to quality?

World's Best Dish Brush
I bought my Rosle dish brush about 3 years ago at SLT. It remained like new up until 2 weeks ago when it disappeared. Checked garbage,compost, worm compost . . . nothing. I've been lost without it. The bristles must have been made from the most indestructible high tech German material. I've never seen anything like it. Not available at Sur La Table any more, nor Wm Sonoma. I found it on Amazon, and a replacement is on the way. It will be your best friend. The bristles are just amazing. Stiff as stiff can be. They might last a lifetime, even when used in hottest water and on hot pans. I hate it when bristles curl due to heat or pressure scrubbing. This is one of those things that is expensive and worth every penny. It looks good, too. Put it in your will!

Hamtaro and Ham Hams Unite is Hamtastic!
This game is so cool. You go around finding all the ham hams and getting them back to the clubhouse. What you think it sounds ez?!? Well I haven't even begon. Some of the Hamsters are very stuborn and you have to convince them to come back to the clubhouse. To do that you have to learn new ham chat words (its the hamtaro language). Sometimes you even have to find them things before they will come back. It took me about 2 weeks before I got all the Ham-Hams. After that you have to learn all the ham chat words. Witch is very hard. I am still working on that. Well by this game. You will love it.

Poor Quality
I am a consumate Josh Groban fan. When I watched the "Greek" performance, I wanted to cry. What a vast difference from the live performance that I saw in person. This taped performance is a technical nightmare. Many people have said that his voice sounds nasally. I hear it as more of a FORCED vibrato, and it sounds terrible. All of the concerts were filmed. I don't understand why they didn't just take the best performances from different shows and put it together to make it more of a documentary-style DVD. Make some lemonade out of those lemons. I suppose the "Greek" does have a certain attractive quality, but the poor vocals, sound and videography take away from any "cool" factor of the venue. I'd much rather see him perform in an empty corn field if it would bring back those beautiful vocals. The "Greek" DVD is a monumental disappointment.

The most atrocious work I've ever read...
I'd be embarrassed to have my name on the cover of this book (and I'm NOT talking about Lindh!) Beyond even the topic of this book, I have several major issues. First of all, I cannot believe that Jess and Beck even have the gall to call themselves writers. They should go back to 1st grade and start again. This book was a joke, the most poorly written thing I've ever read in my life. Ever heard of an editor? Because I found more typos on the first page than I could count. Ever heard of writing clearly and concisely to get your point across without repeating yourself over and over? How about actual sentences, rather than endless fragments? Maybe you should find some concrete facts before accusing Lindh of unfounded allegations (i.e. his homosexuality, etc.) To potential readers: regardless of your own opinions of Lindh, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK! It insults your own intelligence. I returned mine!

You get what you pay for
Ok, I went for price. I have some other Trendnet stuff and it all seems to work, so I said what the heck and I went for the cheap. The product itself is well done. Plenty of cables etc. Simple software. Limited but understandable documentation. It just doesn't work too well. I have two laptops and two desktops hooked up to it. The one desktop with a real video card works fine, the other desktop using onboard video control from Intel forgets it's settings everytime I shut it off. The laptops, one an Acer mini and the other a new one running Windows 7 also with an Intel video controller, both take about five minutes to reconfigure each time I boot them up. I've downloaded the latest drivers and utilities from Intel and Acer but no joy. I've had a couple of iogear two ports and they both worked great. The worst part is that Trendnet just fobs you off when you ask for help. My advice, spend a little more and go a different route.

WOW!
Once again, Amazon has the best price. I shopped Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, and Overstock.com for this item and none of them were even close. The next best price I found was at the Lowe's brick-&-mortar for $39.99 + tax. As always, Amazon shipping was quick and packaging was in new condition - no damage whatsoever.Installation was an adventure, becuase I had to trim the bar quite a bit. Our tile made our opening about 58-inches. Uncut, the bar is a bit over 59-inches. Mounting brackets are sturdy metal, not the cheap plastic stuff. These metal brackets made for a solid installation. My installation also included drilling through our glazed ceramic tile. That took the most time, effort, and patience. I used a hacksaw to cut down the rod, just cutting a little each time until I had the tightest fit possible. The key to all of this is patience. It pays off in the end.Amazon does it again! I am becoming addicted to this site.

Terrific Story!!!
I have read every single one of V.C. Andrews books. And I have to say I was impressed with this series. Usually there is a typical pattern to the stories, and if you have read some of the series you can pretty much figure out what was going to happen. But this series had me continue guessing! I read this entire book in one night! I just could not put the book down. this book is told by "Phoebe". I have to say when I read the last page of the book I just did not want it to end. This is truelly a good read!!!!

It was great until it stopped working properly
I've owned this flash drive for about a year now and it worked great until about 3 weeks ago. Then for some reason it wasn't recognized by my computer. At first I thought it was a problem with the computer, but when I tried my sister's flash drive, everything was fine. I tried it again on another computer, same story. Frustrated, I forced it in and voila! the computer recognized it. I shook my head in disbelief. The only way a computer would recognize it was if I forced it in? And it wasn't as if I had abused it; I hadrarely used it except for transferring work to different computers. Now I don't bother using it unless I absolutely have to because in order for a computer to recognize it I have to force - and hold - it upwards in the USB slot. If I let go, the drive disappears. It gets very annoying. I haven't had any problems with the cap, just its being recognized. I'm going to look into buying another flash drive.

Didn't end right
WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!The story line for this one was excellent. There were a few surprises thrown in that really added some zest to Summer's sad story. The characters were all believable, and the story lines were sincere. I especially loved reading about the imperfections of Mack. But this book ended a bit differently then most love inspired books. It ended with us hanging.I understand the reason for this, but I think the author should have written an epilogue. It wouldn't have necessarily taken anything from the third book in my opinion. It kinda left me wondering...so...did they or didn't they???SIGH...But I guess that's the way it happens in real life sometimes - we just don't know where things are going to go!!!

A Paul Horn wannabe
Some of Wheater's stuff is fantastic. This isn't. The flute music is quite good and the sounds of whales "talking" is interesting. My only gripe with this album (and only the CD, it's not on the tape version) is the 10 minutes of just whales - no music. My main use of CD's is as background music for massage. When this last cut comes on, my clients often ask "what is that? cows? cats?" Much to distracting. When I get a CD player that I can program to eliminate this one cut from playing, the album will definitely go back on my playlist. (I'd rate the rest a 9)

Good, But could of been better.
Although i am a great fan of Gradius, Konami, really rush the combo. It did'nt make a great couple. However, only buy this game if you want Gradius IV. Gradius III was screwed a bit. If your asking for graphics, i STRONGLY recommend you stay away from this game. That's right, DON'N EVEN BOTHER!!! Graphics are in no importance here. Although, Gradius IV has some cool & neat special effects.Challenging game play has to categories, Hard & IMPOSSABLE. Stay up the whole night to beat the first level. On the other hand, that is the style of Gradius that makes it fun.Overall score is a four. This means it's fun, cool, and challenging. But, they don't get invited to many parties:)

No stars, please ...
The choppy writing style (I honestly don't believe that there is one complete sentence in the entire novel) wore me down. It unnerved me, made me edgy. I know there are probably some people out there going, "That's right! That's it!! It unnerved you like a good novel should!!!" Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Even edgy, unnerving books should allow you room to slip into the prose and become one with it. I tried in vein to slip into this book. It had nothing to do with the subject matter, just the style of writing. If this is what makes a Pulitzer prize-winning novel, you can count me out.

summer bridge activities:2-3
i was pleased with the work provided on the book. it kept my 8th year-old occupied, sametime, honed in on his school learnings. gave him 2 work-days exercise during the whole summer - (even while we're travelling) in the morning - after breakfast. it was great! no whining about 'having to do homework' while on vacation. all the exercises in the book actually refreshed his school learnings - by the time school starts - he is not in-the-zone. i have also got the 1-2 grade for my youngest starting on 2nd grade. the book worked equally good. it is just great to have reading, math, writing & language ALL in one activity book. especially like the way that the book is geared towards children entering into the next grade level. well done! 5 gold stars - most definately.

Gregory is a genius...
It was hard to put this book down. I read it over a weekend and nothing could keep me away.Hannah is a fantastic character that everyone can relate to. Whether one has faced prejudice, or persecution for ones own convictions. Whether one has ever loved, or run away from some thing. She's so "normal" and yet so different. When Hannah had a crush on Lord Robert, I felt as if I wanted Lord Robert for her. When Hannah found out about her husbands extra marital affair, I felt as if I were upset by it. The story really captivates you and you miss Hannah Verde when the story is over.What I loved most about the book, was that it was very historically based. I didn't know the story of Mary Tudor as well as I knew Elizabeth's story. This really brought the character to life and helped her to be seen in a softer light.Fantastic book, couldn't put it down, and didn't want to anyway! I recommend it to everyone and anyone who loves history, novels, and the beauty of Tudor England.

Read it in less than a day, Couldn't stand finishing it the next day
I had low expectations about this book from its reviews. But I found it captivating from the start. The romance starts from the beginning, you don't have to wait and get familiar with the characters and skip dull descriptions. I think I only skipped a page of the whole book. The book is quite short which I also liked. I read the novel in less than a day.Some people said this book had no real story to it. I thought the opposite. Its a great novel. Passionate. Romantic. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a romance novel.

This is not smooth jazz. Thank goodness!!!! I went out on a limb in buying this. It was rated 5 stars in Bass Player magazine. It is. So much of the instrumental [stuff] today is mindless soloing with a drumulator and a sequencer, hats off to these three gents. It has a Return to Forever feel, only with a funky edge and great soloing. Dennis and Bunny are top notch, Tony holds his own too. If you are looking at Cab2, the new release, get this one. They lost their edge on the second album. Fusion still lives on this one.

Disappointing
I have read all the glorious reviews before watching this movie and was really amazed at how shallow this movie was. Major disappointment and waste of time. I would rather spend this time watching "Grand Illusion" or "Les Enfants du Paradis" again. If only "Bon Voyage" had a fraction of humanity and talent these great movies have. The script of "Bon Voyage" is awful. It tries to cover way too many plot lines and never developes any of them to satisfaction. The characters are flat and underdeveloped. The star power of Adjani and Depardeau is wasted. It has a feel of a day time soap opera in spite of expensive sets and costumes. It lacks deapth and wit. It is amazing that this work comes from the creator of "The Horseman on the Roof" and "Cyrano de Bergerac".

Avoid this product
The card reading ability of the device is worse than the rational customer might expect. The error rate I experienced was around 35%. I had scanned 30 cards, wasting time correcting data, and then the program crashed. In OSX. I hardly ever see a program crash. But here's the kicker: it didn't save the work at any point. In fact, there was no save funtion I could find easily, just export. I returned it right away, and ordered the CardScan Executive, which I run under Windows XP in Boot Camp. While it costs twice as much, its error rate is much more forgivable, at about 10%, with about 25% perfect scans/reads so far. Plus, the automatic saving and free online card data storage and synching are beyond my expectations. You get what you pay for.

I does not follow the book no matter what!
I loved the book. the movie did not even follow it one stinkin little bit. for staters Blackberry was not a doe and Dandelion told the stories. balackavar did not die. There where no does when they started. Watership Down is the best book in the world. the movie was just rabbits killing each other and riping each others guts out. It should be rated R. It changed my images of the watership down rabbits which in my book is a horible sin. This movie is not a kids movie and will never be. The movie sickend me by the graphic nature and how un like book it was. The only reason I rated it one star becuse Kehaar, he was realy funny. Another thing Ruu-duu-duu which means moter is acutually Hrudduu in the book. Don't ever see this garbage, read the the wonderful book.

Another step backwards for Robin Williams
Another year and another ho-hum comedy from Robin Williams. This time he is paired with John Travolta. Together they play best friends from school who run a business together out of New York City. Life is going normally when William's character discovers he had two children from a one-night stand over a decade ago. The movie then becomes a family comedy about one man's evolution from single man to father. There are some funny scenes, such as when the kids mix up the prescription pills of their father. But there are some really stupid scenes also, such as the one featuring the gorilla shown on the DVD case. The characters themselves are believable, but much of the story is somewhat ludicrous. A good example is how the main characters seal a business deal with a Japanese company with unintended actions. Overall, a below-average comedy for 2009. And Robin Williams looks totally scripted, with none of his former gusto and provocative humor.
