1 | Good Lord, it's awful | What can I say? The technique is completely unrealistic. The prose is unreadable. "His Holiness The Dalai Seng-Shi" Simon can not put words together into coherent paragraphs. The stuff about psychology and crime prevention doesn't have anything to do with the real world. There is a lot of crypto-racism.And the technique. G-d above, the technique. It's lousy. It's elaborate. It requires a lot of strength and a cooperative attacker to even theoretically work. It would be a lot more convincing if it was demonstrated by women against larger men; mostly it's Simon doing it to someone he outweighs by at least twenty pounds.About the only good thing I can say about it is that the recycler took it. Maybe it will come back as a copy of "Beauty Bites Beast" or "Real Knockouts". | 12 | [

2 | Thought provoking, intensely compelling... | and it definetly left this reader wanting to know more of Julie and Hank's gritty, realistic life in the Carolina mountains at the turn of the 20th century. In fact, if there was ever a book perfect for a part two, this is it! Mr. Morgan has written a haunting novel that will stay with you long after you have put it down. It left me in awe of the strength it took to survive such poverty and disaster as befalls this young married couple. Sounds like a depressing book, huh? Yep. But there is so much to admire here that, amazingly, you don't go away feeling blue. I read a lot and this is one of the best. (And I would have added that last star if I could have had more). But wait! I guess that only proves this is a great book. Please, Mr. Morgan, write a sequel. And maybe you can throw in at least one lucky break for Julie and Hank? | 13 | [

1 | Stupid waste of time and money. | There are some films that should be left alone. The wonderful 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz" is one of them.This feeble effort is an insult to anyone who loved the original. Diana Ross as Dorothy, when she's not even half as talented as Judy Garland was? Get real! For one thing, she's WAY too old. To me, Dorothy will ALWAYS be Judy Garland. Judy's portrayal of Dorothy sparkled with yearning, vitality, and vulnerability. Who can forget her poignant rendition of "Over The Rainbow?" Diana's "Dorothy" is positively annoying. You actually want her to return home from Oz because once she does, this sacriligious movie will be over!As for the rest of the cast, they are so collectively bad in their parts that they don't even rate a mention. It's a pity that all the talented people involved with this production couldn't make a talented movie. | 11 | [

1 | Is this the same book? | I bought this book from a second hand bookstore, thinking I'd made a great find. I love history, history fiction, and biographies, and this book seemed to have it all.But I was wrong. I don't understand how so many people can love this book: The book was terrible. The writing was atrocious. Cleopatra, one of the most clever, cunning and admirable women in history, was denigrated to a simpering fool in the book. The characters were two-dimensional, the dialogue was forced, and at times, just plain stupid. I tried very hard to give the book a chance; sometimes, stories need a bit of time to get going. But this one didn't. By the one hundredth page, I was bored to tears, and I found staring at the arrivals and departures screen at the airport (where I was reading during a long layover) to be far more interesting.I wouldn't even give this book away. I think I chucked it in a bin somewhere and purchased a far superior book : Stacy Schiff's Cleopatra. Now THAT's good writing. | 11 | [

2 | Absolutely Delightful and Funny | My husband and I both qualify for senior discount meals. And I am a life time fan of the beautiful old time watercolor cartoons that Disney used to make. I also wish I could find the cartoons that Turner network used to show on tv a long time ago. Anyway my husband and I both were delighted with this movie. It's quite entertaining and compelling to watch. The writers are very clever in the lines the canines say. The blu ray technology really dazzles you in this too. This is one of the better Disney movies. Shrek for instance was ok the first time, but the second and third were deplorably void of quality content. A children's movie? No wonder kids can be so rotten these days with this kind of output seeping into their young minds that their parents allow them to consume. Shrek is garbage. Even Happy Feet, though cute moments, had sexual overtones that was that should never become 'normal' viewing for young minds! | 13 | [

1 | don't believe the hype | I bought this book due to the good reviews I read for it here. All I can say is that I've had it for almost 2 months, and I still have yet to force myself to finish it. The supposidly "hot" scenes, to me were dull and didn't titlate in the least. It was 99% sex with strangers, and to me, that just isn't erotic, it's empty. Just as this book and the characters in it were empty and didn't make me care one way or the other what the out come might be for them. Especially the cute blond neighbor who'd slept with every guy , and girl, on campus, only to of course, fall in love with the one guy who makes her wait. Snore. Not to mention, he is only inspired to make his move after she'd hosted an orgy, his reason being that, what? He doesn't want her to get used to stuff like that. Stuff like what? She'd already previously slept with everyone that was there that night.I don't know... Too me, this book was simply pointless and extreemly unerotic--boring to be completely honest. | 11 | [

2 | I want another one! | This Pomeranian Dog stuffed doll is wonderful. For a doll, it is very close to what a small pom would look like. I would want the face/snout to be more like an actual pom (well, my pom's face looked a little different), but it's a doll and good enough for a doll. I look forward to see if another version of this doll would come out in a much more Blonde lighter fur color also. Like the blonde fur on the front - I would want to make ALL of the doll be that blonde color with a little of the darker color throughout. If you know your poms, then you know what I'm talking about. I would get one of those dolls also if that ever came out. I love this one that I just bought nonetheless. Fast Delivery. I was expecting it next week. I ordered on Amazon on wednesday night and got it on saturday. My sister, who also likes poms, was impressed with this doll also. ("So Cute!") Anyways, it's a Great Buy at a Great Price. Wonderful. If you love Poms, then you will love this Pomeranian. | 16 | [

1 | Save Yourself | Here is my recommendation. DON'T read this book. No, it's not horrible and I didn't cringe when I read it. But neither did I walk away a changed man. The character of Asher is so cold, static, and most importantly immature. The choice Asher makes in the end is in my own opinion the right one of course (especially since religion was the alternative and i hate religion, another factor that added to the insipidity of this book). Yet after being exposed to Asher's thoughts throughout the book, I'm not convinced his ultimate decision was righteous.I'm tempted to just say, "read the book so you can see what I mean!!!1" but alas, no. You will make the right decision and you will not read this book. Potok's writing is fluid and borderline enjoyable but this does not save the novel from a 1-star rating. Again, the concept behind the book was alright but the deliver, in terms of plot structure and character development, was very unsatisfying for me.My Name Is Asher Lev: A big 1 out of 5 stars. | 11 | [

1 | Blue Markers Stain the Board | I just mounted my new white board and tried out the four markers in this package. Three of them work just fine, although they have a pretty strong odor. The blue one didn't work at first, and then when it did the color came out blotchy. When I went to erase it, it didn't erase; it just turned a big part of the board a watery blue. I have tried repeatedly to remove the color with white-board cleaner, but I can't get it all out.I had bought two packs of these, so I tried out the second pack just to see if the first one I got was defective. I had the same problem; black, red and green work fine, but the blue stains the board. Clearly, this is not a one-off defect.I'm amazed. Sanford Expo is the leading brand for white-board supplies. It's hard to believe that they would ship a product that not only doesn't work but that does damage instead. That's a real trust-breaker. Hey, Sanford -- are you reading these reviews? | 11 | [

2 | Space 1999 on Blue Ray? From A&E? Here we go again! | Both the Network DVD company from the UK and A&E are releasing our beloved Space 1999 on Blu-Ray, but wait, I hear that A&E are using Network's prints. Hmmm. According to the Catacombs website, Network has announced a Blu-Ray release of the complete Year 1 for 11 October 2010. Price is 79.99. There are 8 discs, in original 4:3 format. Extras include music only tracks, 5.1 remixed audio, and documentaries. A&E will be using the same prints as the Network Blu-Ray release, in pillarboxed 4:3 format, over 6 discs, with a price of $99.95(actually Amazon mentions only 6 discs). There are two less discs than the Network (UK) version- suggesting the US version will have less extras. Well, we shall see how well this set will come out. Such a shame to be using the same artwork for the release. Always loved the UK artwork better. Now, for Year 2.... | 12 | [

1 | Get what you pay for. | This thing is junk. The dial feels like a toy. The menu system to select images or music is non-existent. It's the most counter-intuitive system imaginable. It's almost like they intentionally made it hard to use. And the one I bought wouldn't hold a charge that would last more than about 15 minutes. My efforts to have Coby respond to my inquiries, received nothing but silence. Much like what I got with this piece of junk. As I tried to work with Coby for more than a month, I exceeded Amazon's return policy. This thing is now at a greenspot recycling center. Don't waster your money. | 11 | [

2 | beautful words | This is my favorite cd of 2001. Yes the beat could have been different but the words are so beautiful and Christina's voice is very beautful, she sings in this album with a passion and she even wrote the words so of course I gave her all the stars that I could give her in this rating. I think that "Just Be Free" the song rather than the album of the same title was written when she was young and that the rest of the songs on the album were written in 2001. Since she's with a new record company after sueing her old record company she must have had a say wheter or not this album was released. She never had a cd released in fall of 2001 like she supposedly said that she would. "Believe me" is my favorite song on this cd. I'm probably your biggest male fan now. I'm 26 years old and I like this new style of yours much better than the old one. Christina you go girl !!!! | 11 | [

1 | A waste to watch | This film was absolutely awful. The majority of the shots were various angles on Michael sitting on a single chair in the middle of an otherwise empty warehouse. The viewer has to endure his continual preoccupation with cigarettes. Michael's only message was that the entire system is going to break because the world is going to run out of oil. This will be followed by mass chaos and mass starvation, war, and disruption of all the social aspects of life. He seems to fix most of his blame on George Bush. Michael's brand of alarmism is disingenuous, in that he has essentially given up on the system. The final views are him in his home that he is about to loose because of past due taxes and bills that he cannot pay. Poor Michael! While there is truth in his thesis of the purported coming system collapse, he lacks not only credibility, but also the ability to develop his claims in a convincing fashion. This film is a total waste of even the time it takes to watch it. | 11 | [

2 | Resident evil 4 on pc | Resident evil 4 on the pc is awesome!! I love it! But be forwarned in advance!! Don't depend on the keyboard to be very useful and effective if you want to have true re4 experience. I reccomend you buy the pc version of xbox360 controller. When i purchased it i was blown away! It works just like the nintendo gamecube version. Also pay attention to the recomended spec requirements so you will not experience any technical problems. I had to buy an advanced 3d graphic card for my pc and had to get a 512 megabyte ram card cause i needed it for the bare functions of the re4. It increased the framerate and performance of my computer and now i "enjoy"! So before buying the game look for more ram (if your computer is below memory) and look for a 3d graphics card if your computer is 1.8 megaherts or below. | 11 | [

2 | Touching! | Just showed the film to my girlfriend. This is my fourth time watching it. I just got this movie on dvd a few months ago. Decent transfer. I'm glad they did the transfer though. Not many people know of this movie. They rather do a transfer of "American Pie" than this movie! Overall, this is a great movie. One of Kurosawa's best! I rank this movie up there with "The Seven Samurai". It's a beautiful story with great characters, beautiful sceneries, and a touching ending. It's basically in my top ten movies of all time! If you haven't seen it, check it out, be patient and the reward will come. I think that's the key. With any good foreign movie, you have to give it "patience". Let the images go through you, transform you to another time and place. That's what you get when you watch poetry at work. It's a painting; all the colors and movements form to give you the whole picture. And this movie is like that. It moves you. I promise--you'll remember it for the rest of your life! | 21 | [

1 | Buyer Beware | Buyer beware -- using this product MAY be hazardous to you or your pet's health. (Sorry, I don't have the funds to do a scientific inquiry to prove it--nor does the US--so buyer beware. I should have looked at the other reviews before I bought this product. It looked like it would work well for my dog. When I got the product out of the package it smelled highly toxic--touching it it would leave a toxic smell on my hands as well. I was so concerned I aired it outside several days hoping the "off gassing" would alleviate the problem. That didn't work. I washed it in the washing machine--the smell did not go away, and still left a residual smell on my my hands. I threw the jacket away and thought, well, my fault--should have been more careful buying this product online. I did not want to expose my dog or myself the potential toxic residue. I felt concern for the workers in China who must be working in a factory that produces this material. | 11 | [

1 | Awful Attempt at Feminine Voice | This book was sappy and awful. Patterson fails at capturing the female voice and presents us with unrealistic, bordering on ridiculous dialogue. Who talks, or even thinks, like this? Jennifer varies between sounding like a teenager with all the italics and exclamation points, and sounding like a Hallmark card. "Thank you for sharing the letters with me"??? And what a stupid premise. Yay, let's all cheer grandma's fling with the town preacher. Woohoo? Patterson needs to stick with suspense. Both this novel and "Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas" show that he has no talent for writing romance. He obviously thinks that women think like sentimental morons. | 11 | [

2 | A Tearjerker | "Titanic" is a real tearjerker as is the soundtrack. The music is beautiful! Usually I hate soundtracks that just play music, no lyrics at all. This soundtrack is different because whenever I listen to it, I visulize the scenes in my mind. My favorite song on the CD is "Rose" because my fave scene is when Jack and Rose are on the bow of the ship together and they kiss. The music is beautiful and it reminds me of that scene. James Horner is a great composer and James Cameron did a great job directing the movie. "Titanic" is my favorite movie of all time and my favorite CDs are Back to Titanic, Titanic and My Name is JOE by Joe. I've probably seen the movie more than ten times (I've had it since I was 14), and I still cry every time! The movie and soundtracks are great! :) | 11 | [

1 | Survived Almost One Use. | I live in the mountains of Utah. Frequent heavy snowfall is the norm around here. This rake almost completed one use before the handle split. They used way to thin of aluminum tubing to construct the telescoping handle. The handle that came with my rake broke trying to support its own weight on its way to the roof. I didn't even use all three extensions. I managed to finish the job using lumber, hose clamps and duct tape. I returned unit to Walmart for a full refund and wouldn't consider purchasing another one. This is a very flimsy design. I can't see a tool like this making more than a single season even if you were one of the lucky ones that got a better handle. If your going to take a chance on this unit, buy it from someone who will let you return it without a hassle. It wasn't worth the 39.95 I paid. | 12 | [

2 | HALLELUJAH!!! | I researched all kinds of products and stumbled upon this one. It had the best reviews by far and with a 43% savings, I decided not to pass it by. I am so glad with my decision. It is the best method I have found for removing all those unwanted hair. There is minimal pain (it IS pulling out multiple hairs at once after all) that can be quickly gotten used to. Less pain than waxing. No mess like with shaving. The first time I used it was a little time consuming but I think that's because it is picking out every single hair, even those that might be too short to cut with a razor. But after that, the time will get shorter. I got it a week ago and my legs are still smooth. Hair removal has always been a pet peeve of mine. I have finally found a product that I can use without having to use it everyday! | 12 | [

2 | Perfect size and good for salads, spaghetti, and meat | I purchased these tongs a little over a year ago. I waited to write a review until I had actually used the tongs for some time. These tongs are the perfect length (not for grilling) and have held up well. They are short enough to toss a salad and then serve. Great for tossing noodles in a sauce and then serving. I've used them to flip chicken, steak, rolls, you name it and they've held up well. They also have a tab on the end so if you want to lock them in place you could. The spring for keeping them open has held up well over a year. I've also washed on the top rack in the dishwasher and the teflon coating is as good as new.I can't find anything negative about these tongs, the price is well worth it. They've not discolored either. HTH. | 11 | [

2 | A Good Shoot'em Up Western | Taw Jackson, played by John Wayne, is out on parole and building a team to heist a shipment of Gold dust. The problem is, the town where he's planning his heist is filled with his worst enemies. Kirk Douglas as Lomax, is one of Taw's partners. Together they study to work out every detail to commit their crime. All they got to do now is do the deed. Will they make it? Lots of fancy gun slinging, fighting, and a really neat Saloon fight add to the flavor of this movie. Oh, and you gotta see the way Kirk Douglas mounts his horse, it's Peachy! One of the most suspenseful scenes is where Taw and another of his cohort's line a bridge they plan to blow up with nitroglycerin. Also, look for a very short role by Bruce Dern . He, as he has in most films, plays a bad guy, and when he's confronted by Taw Jackson he quickly learns what "BAD" really is. | 11 | [

1 | Poor quality - do not buy | I have bought two of these. The first lasted for nearly a year before something disconnected in the earpice which meant the sound kept cutting in and out. I threw them away and bought a new set whuch after 2 months has developed the same fault. The sound cuts out in either one or both ears. If I fiddle with the volume contol, sometimes just pushing it into the ear piece, the sound returns. Very irritating. It acts like a wire or something is making intermitant contact. I'm debating whether to order the replacement model which is actualy cheaper. Anyhow, my advice is to not buy this model.Update: I have since bought the replacement product. It is better in every way, sounds better, better made, looks better and is even cheaper. Don't waste you time with this model. Get the 245RK. | 12 | [

1 | Better off with the original recording... | I have two main problems with this re-mix:1. The CD is VERY compressed and clips with practically every drum kick. It's just as loud as a modern metal CD! why do this? HIGHER VOLUME DOESN'T EQUAL HIGHER FIDELITY!2. It sounds like a completely different album. With all the wizardry of modern studio equipment they pretty much made this sound like it was recorded yesterday. Why? This is not the "songs for beginners" you grew up on. The new mix reveals many things you never heard before but obscures many of the subtleties of the original.In the end, I can't give it one star because I love this album so much; but this isn't really it... I'd take a scratched-up dollar bin vinyl copy over this release any day of the week. | 11 | [

1 | Stupid Is As Stupid Does | The process of natural selection has selected superstitous behavior ad infinitum and Mike Judge has been infected. The problem is not human "intelligence" the problem is our idiot culture. Our idiot culture continues to shape superstituous behavior and until we understand the science of human behavior and how real world variables and the consequences of our experiences shape human behavior the cycle will never end. Mike Judge's continued perpetuation of ignorance isn't funny. There are six causes for human behavior:1. Genetic Endowment2. Pre-natal chemical environment3. Post-natal chemical environment4. Pavlovian Conditioning: stimulus-stimulus-response5. Skinnerian Conditioning: stimulus-response-consequence(natural selection)6.

1 | Undecided | I bought this book after hearing mention of it on NPR. I have spent many summers visiting family in PV, so I could visualize the scene a little better. But the story was just so-so. I'm not a big read-fiction-for-fun reader, and it scares me reading the other reviews that rave on this book. Is this book that good? I didn't think so. Troubled youth, ... sex episodes to spice things up, and the world crumbling around Medina. I don't know. I finished reading it, but I wasn't really on the end of my seat. Buy it used if you have to read it. Good luck! | 11 | [

That is why this baby only have 2 days standby time at most. My last nokia need to be charged only once a week if I did not call too much. But this one, I have to charge it almost every day. Also the signal is not as good as my old nokia. I had thought sumsung can produce good cell phone. But the A670 dispoint me, as unreliable as Motorola. Maybe next time I should try LG or Siemens. | 11 | [

2 | I thought these guys were great | I saw these guys in OKC back in 2000 or 2001. They were fantastic live. The lead singer had his mic taped to his football helmet, played guitar and played a theremin with his head. They put on a great show. The CD is well-recorded.Their music is impossible to describe. It's laid back and intense at the same time. It's funky and jazzy and grungy. It sends you for a lot of loops. It's always fun, though. I think the lead singer is now a dentist or something. Ah well.

2 | Riveting | I have really enjoyed Ms. Feehan's Dark series, so was eager to read her new book. This is a true gothic with just enough paranormal elements to help build a relationship between the hero and heroine. Nicoletta has special "gifts" which her entire village tries to keep a secret, however, it is the presence of these gifts which draws Don Scarletti to her. He has "gifts" of his own. Nicoletta isn't immediately enchanted with the idea of marriage to the Don. Unlike some authors, who use the "I hate you!" temper tantrum to ignite passion between the main characters, Ms. Feehan uses the empathy and sensitivity of her characters to achieve it. The love scenes are wonderful, though not very plentiful. So if you're looking for the same amount and intensity of love scenes as in the Dark books, you may be dissappointed. I read this in one sitting and couldn't put it down. The story is riveting. | 11 | [

1 | Not sure what all the fuss is about | I boil about a half dozen eggs every few days. Peeling them has either gone really easily, or sometimes really hard and frustrating, and it was about a fifty/fifty split. So I bought this little gadget thinking it would make a big difference and make peeling every egg easy. Not the case. First of all almost all the eggs cracked after boiling despite the product description claiming there would be little to no cracking, and second the eggs are absolutely not easier to peel. Just like before the egg piercing, it's still about every other egg that is difficult to peel. At least I didn't waste a lot of money trying this product out.Want perfectly hard-cooked eggs every time? Place four eggs in the pot and fill with water until the eggs are just covered. Bring to a boil, remove pot from heat source and cover the pot for twelve minutes. Take out eggs and enjoy! This method ensures eggs are neither over cooked nor under cooked. | 11 | [

2 | Somehow....This is a beautiful film...........somehow | This an excellent film!!!!I rarely waste money in the theatre's anymore, but I saw Devil's Rejects 3 times, and I can't wait for it to make it into the dollar cinemas!!! Zombie does superb work with both filming & the movie's score. Setting the movie to Southern Rock tunes really gives the film that 70's feel. I am feeling the Buck Owens as well. Although Buck's tune in "House of a 1000 Corpses" is better. Terry Reid is a great addition to the score as well. The final scene is unreal. I could right about this movie all damn night, so i'll shut up. Just buy the damn movie!!!! | 11 | [

2 | Darker than its predecessors but still moving... | The title says it all. It leads me to believe that this movie might be more geared to a broader audience as opposed to mainly children. There are bright, funny and just darn cute sequences to be seen here but even more parts that will make you think, feel bad (yet invested) and just plain wanna see Andy's old chums make it through their stay at Sunnyside Daycare. In fact, I never expected this movie to take such a route.Nonetheless, I highly and thoroughly enjoyed this endeavor. Never have I seen a Pixar movie this great! This special! This elite! Some of the onlookers may be quite disappointed because the story gets dark. And when it's dark, it can seem grim. There are plenty times when it feels like there is no hope in sight. Just keep watching and stick it out. I got super-invested and you just might too. Toy Story 3 rocks to the umpth degree!Highly recommended.4.5 stars (or a 9/10).P.S. The ending made me cry and I'm 26 and male. :^D | 15 | [

2 | The only bathroom cleaner I use! | I love love looooove this bathroom cleaner. When my husband and I moved to our first home we were surrounded by filth. The bathroom was the worst room. Apparently the people that lived there before us didn't care very much about being clean. There were hard water stains, soap scum, and mildew everywhere. I had to use bleach to get rid of the mildew but the Comet took care of everything else. My shower is now soap scum and hard water stain free.Another reviewer said you could just spray it in the shower and then rinse it off. I usually take a cup and wet the walls first, spray on the Comet, wipe it down with a rag, and then rinse it off. There is one thing you should know though. This cleaner has a very strong smell that burns your throat and nose. If you have a built in vent in your bathroom, make sure you turn it on. If not, leave the room a couple times while cleaning. If you breathe it in too much it is hard to breathe and can make you cough. | 13 | [

2 | Size 4 is the size I've been looking for. PERFECT! | I was about a size 18/20 prior to getting pregnant. All the belly bands I've seen in the department stores did not fit me. They were too small and would roll up on me. This belly band is perfect for me. I'm now 7 months pregnant and using this belly band with Braza Waist Bandit Band Extenders is a life saver. I can now wear my old work slacks with the extender and belly band to smooth over the bumps. Works like a charm. It is very comfortable. I actually find it more comfortable than wearing my new maternity pants. I only wish I had bought the extender and belly band sooner so I didn't waste my money on the maternity pants. HIGHLY RECOMMEND | 11 | [

2 | Great cup for CP kids | My son has CP and has a hard time holding onto a sippy cup. He's two so he's outgrown the soft-spout cups but he can drink from a straw. Actually, he prefers to drink from a straw since it's difficult for him to lift, tilt and hold onto a sippy cup. We have this cup in every color. It's the only one that works for us. We have even purchased replacement straw kits (found on ebay) for when the straw gets old. So far, they are holding up well. I put them in the dishwasher and they get dropped and they are still in good shape. The only thing I would recommend being careful with is the straw extension. They are easy to lose and the cup won't work without it. So make sure you wash that part by hand and let it dry in a special area where it won't get lost. | 11 | [

1 | So much praise for cheap junk? | I'm trying hard to figure out where all the raves are coming from for this product. It's cheap and flimsy, and there's absolutely nothing impressive about it.First impression out of the packaging is "Oh, wow... I screwed up this time." Cheap grey plastic everywhere. Install it and you'll find that it pivots and wobbles. Snap out the hand-shower and you feel like the whole thing will come down. And the plastic hose looks like something from your kitchen that is hidden beneath the sink (for good reason). Trying the shower, you get a lackluster, weak spray at best, and the whole thing hangs down so far that you have to duck your head to get under the water.Needless to say, this thing is going back. My advice is to spend the extra $20 and get the full chrome Kohler rain/hand shower that is exclusively sold at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. That one rocks.Then again, if you wanna learn "you get what you pay for," go ahead and buy this one. :) | 11 | [

It's boring, long, the storyline is stupid and it was made in Canada(that about says it all). I mean I'm Canadian but lets face it, Canadian-made things suck!

1 | Clerical error | Reading this book I could not get past the fact that my own parents stories are far more compelling. My father fleeing the communist Rushkies and my mother joining him from Italy. Proud hard working people who embraced America. Learning to read, write and work here as well as teaching themselves to drive. Both have told me that they would never have come here illegally. My father fled Lithuania due to persecution under threat of imprisonment but still would not have come here illegally. How could he flee lawlessness only to enter a country by breaking the law? The writer and readers of these books can't grasp this type of character and courage.They hide from the truth by using terms like undocumented workers. Leaving the incorrect impression that their lack of citizenship is only a clerical error. Decieving only themselves. My parents are the real thing and those who enter under a cloak of darkness are mere law breakers no matter how you spin the truth. | 11 | [

2 | A Must Have Celtic Rock Album | Ok, first I am disappointed by other people's review complaining of Ivan D's voice. Granted he is no Charlotte Church, Geoff Tate, etc, yet he has a pleasent voice. Yet, his greater strength is his song writing. In my opinion this is one of thee absolute best Celtic Rock Cds that are out there. This has everything a good Celtic Rock Album should have...fast rocking jigs and reels with electric guitar, bass, adn drums in the background, and mellow heartfelt tunes with a solid celtic accent. I do not understand where anyone can be disappointed with anything on this cd...well maybe the mellow "John Tesh" sounding piano interlude. but I do enjoy that song too. One other thing to note is that this album is not full of covers. There are a few cover tunes, but unlike many celtic albums there are alot of orginals songs on this album. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE anyone who likes Celtic Rock to get this album!!! | 11 | [

1 | A Bait and Switch Bummer | This movie is supposed to feature Sam Shepard, Helen Mirrin and Vanessa Redgrave. The truth is, the cumulative screen time for these three fine actors is less than five minutes total in a 2 hour film! That's box office bait and switch. What we get is 2 hours of uncomfortable grimaces of Jack Nickolson's old ugly face. What ever happened to that man? This picture is is advertised as being from the thriller genre. That's a lie. This flick is nothing but a bummer. If you like movies that are completely depressing downers, well you'll love this one. But only a handful of people go to movies to walk out feeling like having a stiff drink. A gallon of vodka couldn't wash this stinker away. | 11 | [

1 | Not a suitable text | I am an aerospace engineering major at WVU with almost 140 credits. Not to be mean but this is the worst textbook I have ever used or seen, even more so that our circuit analysis textbook. We used it for Incompressible Aerodynamics(MAE 335). It is unreadable and impossible to understand and hence to learn from by even the most gifted students. There are no answers in the back to tell if you're doing any of the problems right. Most of the relevant information is simply missing. Especially in the way of fluid control volume analysis. Also there's no procedure on how to solve any types of problems, as is given in every other textbook I've seen. I haven't seen any one fellow student who felt differently,it's unanimous. You NEED a competent instructor to guide you. It looks like an unrefined collection of notes. | 11 | [

2 | great, but not perfect | This is a great "Messiah" -- fun to listen to, and rarely drags. My quibbles are few, but I do have some. First, I take issue with the division of alto/counter-tenor solos. I think it should be performed by a counter-tenor with enough range. I have heard any number of fantastic counter-tenors who can pull it off. It was written for a man, after all. Speaking of which, this was written for a choir of men and boys. The pretension towards authenticity, with period instruments etc, is nothing more than that -- mere pretension -- without a boys and men choir. Finally, I agree with the amazon.com reviewer in the criticism of the bass soloist; he is the weakest link in the recording -- boring and mushy-sounding. But all in all, a great recording. Better "Messiah"s are out there, but they are certainly few and far between. | 11 | [

2 | boot camp | I highly recommend "Boot Camp for your Brain: A No-Nonsense Guide to the SAT I". I used this book in combination with a course and saw a tremendous increase in scores. I was never a terrific test-taker, so when my first and only high school SAT I score came back so high, I knew it must have been because of this book.I went from a 48 Verbal, 68 Math on my 2000 PSAT, to a 620 Verbal and a 780 Math on my Dec. 2001 SAT ! That's a 240 point increase. Boy, was my Mom impressed.The exercises and information in the book were laid out in such a way that I could easily understand the material and keep "on task". It was very logical and easy to comprehend. I have recommended this book to many of my friends. One of them refuses to give it back!!On a 5-star scale, I would definitely give this book a 5.

1 | Why Didn't I Read the Reviews First... | I wish I'd read the reviews before buying this product! I would have saved us money and aggravation. I bought these for my son's Christmas present this year. He was really excited about playing with them with his sister. The problem is, we haven't been able to find one single spot -- inside or out -- where we can get reception on both units! Even when you can pick up one person on the handset, the sound is so staticky and crackly, that you can barely make out what the person is saying. What's the point? My kids got so frustrated in the first couple of days, that they dumped them in the toybox and haven't played with them since. What an incredible waste of money and such a let down for the kids on Christmas. It's pretty rotten that National Geographic can conscience putting this piece of junk on the market. Don't make my mistake. Heed these reviews! This is a must-avoid product. | 13 | [

It is a movie I could watch over and over. I didn't know much about Dr. Blalock and his assistant. So this movie helped me to understand how Dr. Taussig perfected the first blue baby operation. And Dr. Blalock performed it. I am so glad she perfected this surgery, otherwise I would not be here to write this review.This is a movie anyone that has had the Tetrology of Fallot should see. And for anyone who has not. I reccommend this movie highly. | 12 | [

Wish that it was in English. Most disapointed that very few scenes show the boys as girls.... Very few... This is a pitty as they are drawn very cute as girls. This series is in no way shape or form Hentai..It should have a G rating. OK at the end of the day, if you like the whole "Boys will be Girls" theme, you will be disapointed with this series. Just because the boys are so infrequently shown in their female persona. A pitty. | 12 | [

2 | Fascinating! | I read this every night in bed. The information is absolutely fascinating! I'm about 2/3 through the book and I'd say it's more for parents-to-be than anyone else. The title is mis-leading in that sense. Most of the information is about what is happening in utero and how it progresses from there, after birth. There's not much information specific to "in the First Five Years of Life" part. Some of the sections tend to get a little too scientific for the lay person (and that's coming from an information nerd! I love this stuff!) but it's easy to skip small sections & not feel like you've missed the point of the chapter. It's very well organized like that. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is about to have a baby or has recently had one. One word of caution though - like all of these types of books when you're pregnant - read it & take what you want from it, but don't obsess about what you did or didn't do during pregnancy! | 12 | [

It arrived, and the knob wouldn't even move. Stuck in place. It was as if it was a prop T.V. set with the knob only painted on. I returned it for a replacement thinking that this must be a fluke. When the new one arrived after the new tenant had already moved in, I opened it right away to make sure it looked alright. (The knob actually turned this time.) So I brought it upstairs (this was in a high rise condo.) I opened my can of paint attatched the nozzle, plugged it in and zip. They sent me another one that was completely dead. It never even tried to work. I bought the Wagner version which was actually quite a bit cheaper. It has worked fine on my last two projects. | 15 | [

1 | Who would have thought a hired assassin could be such a dull guy? | I've read several of Block's novels but this was my first exposure to his hit man character, Keller. None of these stories (each chapter is a separate story) are, well, very interesting. There is very little suspense or anticipation of what will happen next. Before you can care one way or the other about his victims, they're dead. Not much build up or background - they're like cardboard people that we don't get to know much about. Even the methods Keller uses are mundane.I was expecting more of an edgy personality in a profesional killer. Keller is just a boring guy whose obsession is stamp collecting. The more interesting sections are his interactions with his agent, Dot. However she's another flat character. If Block had dug a little deeper into the lives of these two, he might have captured my interest more. I just never felt engaged by either the characters or the stories. It was a disappointing read from a talented writer. | 12 | [

2 | A great litte peace! | This book is a very good portrayal of the Nam war. At times many events might not seem factual but supposedly they are. The book also relates to how to write a good book. By doing so, Timmy lets all types of people relate to the characters in the novel. You don't have to like war book to enjoy reading it.Above all, he touches your senses. The readers transitions through many emotions such as humor, guilt, fear, and seclusion. The part were the soldiers blew up the puppy was especially funny. I know that it may sound horrible, but Timmy wrote it in such a way to make it very humorous. Timmy's recollection of his dead 9 year old girlfriend brings out emotion. You can't be human if you can't relate to his feelings toward his first love. In all, Timmy wrote an excellent novel but not a masterpiece. | 11 | [

2 | Watch! | This reminds me of the movie equillibrium, if any have seen it. In the sense you do whats right no matter the cost. Nicholas cages' wife is raped and beaten in the beginning of this movie. while in the waiting room Guy Pearce aproaches him and says he knows who did it and he will take care of it for him, for a favor in return. Thats how he hooks all grieving spouses. Its this group of once traumatized men who are then asked to murder someone else who commited a simular crime. it just goes on and on. Like the movie the box, press the button you can have a million dollars, but you have to murder your wife or husband to get it. Messed up moral deliema that proves what kind of person you are. Well Nicholas Cage is asked to kill a child pornographer, what happens from there is twisty and turny and keeps you guessing. HIghly recommend! | 11 | [

2 | KILLER HAT UNIQUE LOGO | I love these hats and were nothing but. I get so many comments. Nobody seems to know what deathstick means. Is that a snowboard manufacturer? Is that a band? Every now and then somebody will say. Do you frame? I say no, but I am aware these guys make some of the best framing hammers on the planet. Best quality tools period. These hats are equally fine. I work out in them daily ride bikes, work in the yard ect. It takes a good year or two of constant abuse to wear one out. And when I say wear out I mean color faded, not ripped. The only one I damaged was because I hot dried it in dryer and it shrunk to small to wear. I now wash them in the sink w/ hot water and let air dry over night. When the black gets faded I buy a new one. Old one goes to goodwill in fine condition. | 17 | [

2 | Queer People | I am 82. This is a treasure. I suspect that practically no one alive today remembers these early days of Hollywood. This book is not only hilarious but simply could not be written today. The current code of political correctness would forbid it. Today the word "queer" has been co-opted along with "gay." The average young reader (under 60) wouldn't have a clue to the treasures between these covers and might be driven off by the title. There may be "queer" people in this story but they are not in evidence by todays standard of meaning of the word. The people in this book may be "queer" and "gay" but not homosexuals (I don't believe). The gay community of today might object to being neglected in this tale. The Jews might object to the Hollywood stereotypes portrayed. As I said it simply could not be written today. | 12 | [

2 | Complete your Zooey Collection! | This is a cute little film. It is marketed toward the "alternative-hippie-new wave-hipster" crowd. Actress Zooey Deschanel is clearly the main reason to watch the film. She's a great actress in any genre. She has never looked prettier in any film. Striking, to say the least. (Unfortunately, they give her character such a dumb name -- "Pussy Katz" - really!?!) As a side note, New Orleans looks all wrong here, unless they have zoomed in to one very narrow hipster market segment.The choice to purchase this comes down to this: Would you pay the purchase price just to watch the amazingly beautiful Zooey Deschanel for about an hour? The answer of course is YES! YES!!! GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY YES!!! | 12 | [

1 | Unbelievable and Undeveloped | Generally, I don't write reviews but this book called me out to do so. I thought it was completely unbelievable that a 14 year old would be allowed to date a man in his 30's right under her parents nose. There was nothing in the story to make this believable in anyway. These weren't parents who were unenvolved in their childrens lives or consumned with work outside the home where this could go unnoticed. They were completely aware and even let the man stay overnight in their home. Why? This book gives the reader nothing to explain why this would happen in that home.The characters where underdeveloped and their was no redeeming factors in any of them. They weren't fully developed characters. I kept reading thinking at some point it's going to be explained or tied together. It never happened. When I finished the book I felt very disappointed and unsatisfied. | 11 | [

1 | These hold no charge | I do almost ALL of my shopping here on Amazon. The UPS guy is actually at my house at least once a week. That said, I don't think I've ever written a review here. This will be the first and it's not a good one. That should tell you how strongly I feel about this. These batteries are awful. They do not hold their charge at all. I use them in the remotes for my TV's, and I've had to charge them several times in 2 weeks. A regular battery off the racks lasts well over a year (probably longer), and yet I have had to charge these several times already. Complete waste of money for the time and electricity these use. I'd rather stock up on regular batteries. | 11 | [

2 | An Enchanting Re-Discovery! | In these "tune-less" times, I'm re-discovering exquisite melodies and arrangements from the sixties. If you're on a similar sojourn, please get this album if you haven't already. "Fool on the Hill," "Look Around," it's all there. Every song grows on you-- and the album leaves you wanting more! I was only about four or five when these songs flooded the airwaves, but each still strikes a sweet spot in my soul. "The Look of Love" just can't be beat-- it's perfect. Even less-familiar ones, like "Like A Lover," are so beautiful that you'll be hearing its refrain in your head throughout the day. Mendes is a uniquely skillful arranger, and lead singer Lani Hall is exquisite-- a world-class voice, she clearly deserves more acclaim. Soon you'll want to hear EVERY song by Brasil '66. It'll be a joyful alternative to the over-played "oldies station" originals. Brasil '66 is a fantastic group that should get together again and tour, if they aren't already. | 11 | [

1 | Good remastering of classic Toscanini performances/actually 4 stars | The Smithsonian Great American Orchestras was a fine series that I missed the first time around. If you can find these, snap them up. This one in particular is a fine example of NY Phil under Toscanini. The recording quality is really about the same as the NBC 8H recordings, if not better, and the orchestra is better. This is a great way to get the legendary 1936 Beethoven seventh. I don't remember a reissue of the Brahms Variations. Toscanini simply lets the piece unfold naturally. With a Rossini overture, the Traviata prelude, and Act 3 Lohengrin prelude, this is a great program of some of the master's favorites. The NBC Symphony collection is fine, too.Buy them all. PS: I have messed up my star rating. Understanding the limitations of these recordings, I still would give FOUR STARS. | 11 | [

2 | Real good selection of songs | I bought this CD for myself back in 2006, but not from Amazon. Since then I've purchased this as a gift for a sister (a big fan like me), and a friend who was aware of him, but didn't know too many of his songs. They both really enjoy it. The liner notes are better than adequate, and there are photos of Numan at different stages of his career... he's a real chameleon as far as his 'look' goes. Saw him in concert many years ago. Front row. Unforgettable! Didn't have too much to say between songs, but what an elaborate stage presentation! There are a generous 18 songs here from what I guess you could call his peak period, and there is not one I don't like. Nor do I feel like there are any glaring omissions. This is just a great CD for fans, or anyone unfamiliar with his material who wants to hear more from him. | 11 | [

1 | I'm Cajun, NOT Creole | This book might pass as fiction (if you are willing to suspend all belief). I was born, raised, left and came back to South Louisiana. Creole is half black and half Spanish. Cajuns do not refer to themselves as Creoles, and the Cajuns I know are mostly well off. Puplic Schools, the oil industry, and television have not destroyed us. In my hometown, the morning and evening news (on radio and television) is still broadcasted in Cajun French. The research for this book left a lot to be desired. If you want to know about Cajuns, don't believe what you read in this book. The pronuncations are the only factual parts of the book. I found this book in the file cabinet in a high school library. I only kept reading it out of utter disbelief of the written words. This book gets one star because zero stars wasn't an option. | 12 | [

2 | Z for Zachariah- A Fun and Exciting Book | Z for Zachariah is one of the most exciting and adventurous books I have ever read. The book is written in a journal format. It is a book about courage and being brave. A girl named Ann Burden (sixteen years old) is supposedly the last person on Earth after a nuclear bomb was dropped. Then a man named John Loomis comes along. To see what happens, you need to read this book. Will they live happily ever after or will something go wrong? Will John and Ann get along or will they fight?The book's setting is in a small valley located in the United States. This is important because the radiation from the bombs kill everything but it skipped Ann's valley. Ann is always couragous and she needs to be because she is all alone. The story is a science-fiction adventure book and every page is exciting! | 11 | [

2 | TONS of sandy compact storage | my 8 year old son purchased this for me about three years ago. I obligingly used it because it made him happy. I never expected to LOVE this system. Every container uses the same size lid. And even though the containers look small. The large containers can really "pack it in".It also makes it easy to access because the base slides out. Making the height of the space a non-issue.After 3 years of TONS of use; I am down to just a few containers and lids. I've taken food to work for lunch and to school and sent food home with family memebers in these containers. Never to see them again. Hahaha! Plus I've tossed a few in the trash because I did not want to wash what had been hiding in the back of the fridge for a couple of months. (I think that happens to everybody.) I am actually ready to buy myself a new system. Very affordable and very convenient. I strongly recommend anyone buy this item.Handy, self-contained, practical.:-)Mrs. Davis | 16 | [

But some of the time the sentences were really basic.The word choice was complex though out the book. some times the words were too complex.the auther did a great job describing all the events that took place. But i thought that the characters needed a little more description. the auther only took a little time at the begining of the book to describe the characters. I don't want to give away the book to much, there on a boat. they get attacked.My opion of the book is that. it's a great book full of edveture. But at some points the book got kinda dull. like in chapter 8 I found my self dozzing off a little. Most of the book i was wide awake for like in chapter 21 the attack. I think this book could be enjoyed by anyone. but i'd say ages 10 and up boy or girl, man or woman(...) | 13 | [

1 | Very Disappointed | Sadly the incense i received did not live up to the standard i am used to for nag champa incense. i had read over all the reviews both the positive and negative. Unfortunately the box i received was filled with tan colored sticks instead of grey. Normally the first whiff of a nag champa incense makes me go "aahhhhhh," but not this time. They were difficult to light and to stay lite. The scent was like burning wood, a soapy aroma, and just a hint of the wonderful nag champa scent that i love so much. i am not sure why this happened or if anyone is to blame. After all they come in a sealed box. i don't know what the seller could have done to make sure the incense were fresh and of top quality. It is the kind of item i won't be ordering again online. i have returned them for refund which i anticipate will go through without a hitch. | 11 | [

1 | Beware of the advertised size! | I bought the 100EG for my Canon EOS-10D with a Canon 28-135mm IS lens and a Canon 420EX flash. My camera with the lens attached BARELY fits in the bag, and only after all the dividers are removed. A longer zoom wouldn't have fitted, period. Very dissapointed with the "1-2 camera bodies, 3-4 lensees, "AND" accessories" claim. Sure, if you own toy cameras. What's the point of removing the dividers? As far my setup, this bag is only good for 1 body and 1 small/medium lens, NOTHING else (as far as camera components), not even my Canon 420EX flash. Also, the waist strap is annoying since it pretty much useless and CAN'T be removed. I do, however, like the build quality and looks. I am going to gamble on the 10EG and HOPE to get ONE camera body, TWO lenses, and ONE flash in it. You'd think Canon would know how many of their OWN components could fit in their own bag!!! It's too bad Canon doesn't post more views of this bag with an example camera and lenses inside. | 12 | [

1 | Not Quite | I'm not sure what to say about this album. I don't hate it. I don't love it. It's still AFI, but it's different. I don't even care about the "major label", but now I think that did affect their music. It's AFI with a twist. They added stuff to make their music fit on the radio and on MTV. I bet I'd love the CD if they stayed original. In "Death Of Seasons" they added a techno beat in the middle! Whats up with that? AFI is not a pop-techno band. At least they didn't used to be. Can't they see that they're selling out?My advice to you is to listen to AFI. All the time. But don't buy this CD. Listen to the other stuff. Their other CDs. I love this band. I don't love what they're doing now. I'm really sad they're doing this. Offspring did it too with Conspiracy Of One. The bands don't sound like they used to. It's sad. | 23 | [

1 | "not good" | Wow! Looks can be really deceiving. I started w/ a 1" x 1" x 3/4" thick test piece to get acclamated w/ this product. It took appx. 8 cuts to get a true 45 deg. angle cut. I had to use slow smooth strokes to get results. The saw blade will bend if you use to much force resulting in a slight bevel cut. After about 30 or so cuts the blade began to dull. No use trying to get better cuts as you go along. W/ no replacement blade to be found i will just use this saw w/ the metal cutting blade i ordered separate from this saw to cut lead trim for stained glass work. this trim is 3/4" wide by 1/4" thick and requires no precision cuts. Thats about all this saw is good for. sadly disappointed with this saw. I would not recomend this product for anything that requires a true mitre. Not a good buy. | 16 | [

1 | 542 pages of eh, I really wanted to like it | My preference is anything Starship Troopers/Forever War, this was somewhat misleading. Of course it doesn't compare, but I wanted for it to be like the other 2. When your characters are from different nationalities, you're expected to get stereotypes, as previous reviewers noted. This was done too overtly. The book was just too long for my taste. I wanted action, there is none. I'm sure for some, the lengthy getting-to-it, might be enjoyable. I was miguided by the cover and title. There's nothing really military about it, even though it's about military people(and some CIA and KGB), but mostly military. If it'd be shorter and had more action, maybe. The Ahmisa and Pashti appearance, history, and thought process were originl but, as expected, foreign(too much). | 11 | [

1 | Splice was two hours lost that I will never get back | I do not understand it!! This movie received rave reviews. Even Roger Ebert, a critic against this type of genre, gave this movie high marks. With much convincing, I brought my girlfriend to see it. The movie's premise was interesting, but the movie was dull, annoying and the actors were very one dimensional. Cardboard cut outs will do a better acting job. I wish I had my money back, when this movie was over. The ending stinks. It left you hanging, so you have to probably endure another two hours of dread and boredom with a sequel in the near future. Oh boy!! Can't wait to cross that movie off my list to see, when it comes down the pike. Very disappointing to say the least. | 12 | [

2 | ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID!!! | Wow, Anita Diamant is one great writer. She got a bull's eye on this book. This is the second book that I have read which she authored. The other one is The Good Harbor which is also a good one. I recommend this to all female readers out there and to all men readers who like to understand and comprehend the ways of women. I just love this book-ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!I am not exaggerating when I capitalized on the 2 words but really, this is a MUST READ BOOK, aside from the Bible, of course. If you cannot buy the book; check it out from the library but I would still insist you buy the book from Amazon.You know why? Because after reading this book, you will want to read it again, and again, and again. I like to thank my good friend, KH for recommending this to me. She is one of my book reading mentors. Please guys, read this book. You will also thank me after reading this.PS- if there is a 6-star rating, I will rate it at 7 stars.Hope you got my point. | 13 | [

1 | This thing is a big error on a stupid idea on Bill Gates | Hey this controller is the worst. It's big, heavy, stupid, unconterble, and hard to use. Geez, it's basicly a runoff on the Sega DreamCast controller. Same buttons( Except the D-pad is a anolog on the lower right side of the gamepad) same L,R trigger buttons. It even has the X of a X'd off product. The thing is so freaking big. Who thought of a controller like that. I'm suprised it passed a test to be even made. Take my advice, get a PS2 or a GameCube. Those controllers mold with your hands and are not BIG. Who thought of it????? Really I want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to tell this to BIG BILL GATES! The idoit who doesn't know how a person likes a game with a regular controller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 15 | [

2 | **AN EPIC MAGICAL ROMP** MY #1 FAVORITE MOVIE! | I bought this on VHS after the miniseries on NBC. I now "upgraded" to DVD and have given the series to a handful of friends as birthday/Christmas gifts. This movie truly is a not-well-known secret that NEEDS to be shared. It is full of adventure and magic. It is playful yet has a "dark side" (as most fairy tales do). This is a great family movie but also good for just grown ups. If you are interested in the fairy tale genre - this movie is a MUST. This is my favorite movie of all time - SERIOUSLY! Love it! Love it! Love it! | 11 | [

2 | Boynton is the Queen for Kids | Sandra Boynton knows how to grab attention for young and old. She forces the old to read her stories in rhyme and jest. Because they are the toddler hard page editions you already know that you are going on stage with each of these. But, you are the prop, she is the story. Opposites is just as cute as it can be. I ordered it for a Tanzanian toddler whose dad wants her to learn English. This will be a great start-- High, low, day and night, all with animals that she has seen before. What can be more fun except for the whole Hippo series. Boynton is a MUST for children. Her whimsey is filled with joy and we all need that. Price is right, books are tight. I love it. | 12 | [

2 | Long term satifaction | I recieved this as a gift. The few items within the kit are very useful. My daughter wasn't able to use the brush because it was to soft for her thick curly hair. but the comb works wonders in both our hair. The tooth brush is being used as a teething tool as well as cleaning her gums and tounge. The nail clippers has a great grip. Other nail clippers I have tried to use do not work as well as this one. The nail files are better used on the toe nails rather than the finger nails. They are to rough for finger nail. The scissors are being used for my sewing kit. I needed a new one...smiles...The medicine dropper is used daily. My daughter needs to take several oral meds for a reflux problem. It's has been very useful. | 13 | [

1 | HP is a joke | Ive had this printer for 3 years now and, tonight, im having to re-install the support software for this turd on a new machine. In all honesty the printer isnt so bad. Im not a printer geek so i dont know how it really compares. For me, its quick enough, pictures come out clear enough, ink lasts long enough. However, all the support stuff that you take for granted...like...i dont know...putting the driver cd in your machine and having a nice, quick, clean install....forget about it. HP should be assamed of the software they built for this thing. Its a joke. Good luck trying to get this running..and if you do get it goin, let me introduce you to your new best friend. His name is "Spooler.exe experienced a fatal error". Have fun with him, cause you get to see him often. How this thing got out the door i have no idea, but feel free to ask rajeeve, he will have a non-coherent answer for ya. | 11 | [

2 | Best Portable/Mini Crib | This is an awesome portable crib. I am very happy with the purchase. We have a small bedroom and this crib fits perfectly in a corner. The construction is very sturdy and it's also very pretty. My daughter is currently 7 months old and she fits in the crib. The crib is large enough length wise that I think she will be able to use this until she is 18 months or so. Here are a couple of helpful things to note:(1) This crib comes with a VERY thin mattress. As other reviewers have pointed out I would definitely purchase another mattress for the crib. We bought the CRESCENT MINI CRIB 6 inch 50 COIL MATTRESS. It fits the crib perfectly and the mattress is very sturdy.(2) You need to purchase portable crib bed sheets for this crib. This wasn't hard to find. We bought ours at Babies R Us. The Koala brand portable sheets fit the mattress perfectly as well. | 14 | [

1 | THIS IS NOT A COMPUTER CRIME NOVEL!!! | Despite the description and synopsis on the books cover this is NOT a computer crime novel. In fact with the exception of about 20 pages total the novel quickly looses its snazzy cyber crime appeal. In the first few pages we're introduced to a dark haired female hacker but just as quickly she's gone and the book spirals into Japanese gangs, corrupt police, horribly bland and indistinguishable characters, and it just sucks from then on out. The story is good albeit incorrectly marketed. The characters however have no identity! They all sound the same, with the exception of the Japanese characters. Sadly the book lacks serious writing talent, very little character development, on what could've been a good story. One positive note perhaps is that the descriptions of Japanese culture, etc. are really good. Perhaps this is due to the authors departure many years before from England to Japan. My advice: spend some time abroad again. | 11 | [

1 | Misguided | All of the negative publicity on firearms is misguided. We as a society has lost sight of the criminal himself, and focus now on the tool he uses. Firearms are not to blame. Liberals are. Their nit-picking and stupidity have eroded this county out from under itself. Gun owners should not be blamed or punished for the wronful acts of few. And lets not forget why Columbine happened.Because two kids were being tormented so badly, they needed to strike back. Harsh? A little. Deserved? Definetly! | 11 | [

2 | The Right Choice | I had originally tried a Magellan GPS unit that required downloading of Canadian maps--to my Mac--it only worked with a PC. I returned it. I bought the Nuvi 350 on the advice of friends. It's Mac friendly, but required no downloads for Canada. I'm technically illiterate. I wasn't sure about assembly though it's very simple. I called for technical assistance. I got right through to a highly competent person who didn't bewilder me with his accent! I tried the Nuvi on recent trip. It took me where I was going beautifully. I'd buy the mount that sits on the dash rather than the windshield attachment that comes with it. It works perfectly, and you can get it out of sight easily so you don't signal the bad guys that you have a GPS unit in the car to steal. | 12 | [

1 | Total Sellouts! | Can Korn sell out anymore? They've sunk to an all time low with Issues. And I thought Follow the Leader was bad! Korn was a very promising band with the release of thier 1994 debut. The music was punkish and very innovative. The lyrics sent a strong, easily understood message. But they flushed all their talent down the toilet once they gained some fame. They shed thier So-Cal punk image for a more mainstream preppie one. They're more worried about promoting their buddies Limp Bizkit than making good music. Issues has no heart to it. It came only out 14 months after Follow the Leader did! They only put it out to please thier fans. Jon Davis CANNOT sing worth squat! He should stick to his creepy growling instead. Head and Munky need to get rid of those corny effects used on Issues and think of some catchy riffs. I think it's time for Korn to get rid of the high and mighty ego and put some thought into creating some innovative and clever music, like they did back in '94. | 16 | [

2 | Great camera for the money and then some | This camera is a tough one to knock in any way. Right out of the box it is a pleasure to use. The photos are sharp if taken properly. Now for those who have knocked the fact that the lens cap comes off easily. First of all that is to protect the zoom mechanism. This can be eliminated by purchasing a LA-DC58E Conversion Lens Adapter for the camera. Not only does it allow a better hold on the camera for zooming it also lets you put on a haze or UV filter to protect your lens. A secure 58mm lens cap would then be used to protect the filter and lens. Not much of a big deal for such a fine camera. You would have to pay a great deal more and probably not ever use all the extras that a SLR might have over this camera. Great deal for the money! | 11 | [

2 | This Book Inspires Me Every Time | I read this book a long time ago because I was fascinated by the lives of yogis. Now, I'm reading it again hoping it will inspire me to rejuvenate my yoga and meditation practices. It's totally working! Yogananda's wisdom is amazing and he sets an example for all who wish to attain the gift of enlightenment and discover the vast potential of human existence. I love the stories about Yogananda's guru, Shri Yukteshwar and his tough love approach with his disciples. We are all "diseased" as humans and have many blemishes. We also have infinite potential and the ability to deal with our issues we are dealing with in this moment. Healing is a lifelong process. Yogananda illustrates these truths so well. Even though you're dead - thank you Yogananda. I feel like you're eternal and have the ability to read these reviews. | 11 | [

1 | these guys suck bad! | the last thing 50 cent needed was another ill-concieved project to put his name on. this is one of those sad groups that tries to make everyone happy. you got the two faceless, talentless men to the left and right. one is "reppin the dirty south" and the other one is a red bone. 50 needs no introduction because hes apparently the best thing on 27-inch rims. i don't care if they are real and rap about stuff that happened to them. are they proud of being useless to society? of being shot? of being a joke? every verse sounds the same and i have never heard the album. life experience does not equal musical talent. my e-mail address is [email protected] for all you mad people who say i'm a hater because someone with no talent is succeeding | 12 | [

2 | Another Great Chapter in the Series. | I love Bust a Move. I always have and I always will. This installment has awesome, crisp graphics and goofy, super-deformed type characters. It also has a long quest mode which lets you travel through levels named after tarot cards (there is a confusing story which describes why you are doing this.) No 3-D stuff or cinemas though; they kept the 2-d, framey Neo-Geoesque "animation" in place. But who cares, the game is still awesome. The chain reactions and the ability to bounce off the ceiling are awesome additions. The stupid pulley balancing boards are annoying, the physics make no sense (ie. you add a ball to one side and sometime it goes up? ) and they aren't fun. But fortunately only a few boards are like that. It is still the best puzzle game around (though Tetris is very close). Buy this game, it's cheap and worth every penny. | 13 | [

2 | Perfect Replacement for Makita | Like several of the reviewers here, I had difficulty finding replacement bulbs for my Makita BL185 flashlight. These work perfectly. They are just as bright, or perhaps a bit brighter, than the originals. (It's hard to tell because I've been in the dark for a bit!) They are also MUCH cheaper than their counterparts at Home Depot or Lowe's. I have a prime account; so I paid no shipping, and they arrived in a day and a half.Some reviewers mentioned heat related problems. My flashlight came with xenon bulbs originally and got pretty hot. These are no different. My original bulbs lasted many years, and I expect these will, as well. Just be sure to use common handling practices and don't touch the bulb with your fingers. If your experience is like mine, you'll be happy about this choice. | 11 | [

2 | good movie | Daredevil really does it for me. It really hits the spot. I like that it's a double disc set with lots of good extras too. Affleck is different than I was used to seeing. He's vulnerable, but a fighter. He's a complex guy, but not too hard to relate too and that's interesting from a super guy. Jen Garner is beautiful as always and there are groovy villians. I really enjoyed the baddies here more than any villians since Nicholson's Joker. It's a great pairing of two different types of evil putting together the insane and wild Bullseye and the imposing yet cool Kingpin. I loved a ton of stuff in this movie. The old lady on the plane cracked me up and Ben's dental scene...!! The subway part knocked my socks off and the lead up to the rooftop meeting of Bullseye, Elektra, and Daredevil was tense and exciting. I could go on and on! I'm not sure what the people that hated this wanted, but this hits the spot when I've got a jones for an action movie. | 14 | [

1 | It's a hose. Don't expect miracles! But the truth would be nice. | True, it is not the Goodyear hose pictured. No strain relief ends. Not packaged as shown. Marked Goodyear but which Goodyear, USA or China? I wouldn't expect this hose to stand up to professional use in the field. However, I have it running to a hose reel so I am stuck with it for a long time.It's a rubber hose. It does the job. If I had to do it again, I'd get a plastic hose. Why? The rubber expands under pressure and makes my compressor cycle on and off more. Remember, the hose volume extends the volume of your tank. The more hose, the more volume. However, if you use a cheap rubber hose a portion of your "tank" is stretchy.Subtract 4 stars for the deception. Add one back because it does the job. | 14 | [

1 | A Piece of Junk | I purchased this radio after my Radio Shack weather radio died after 18 mos. of use. It is much easier to use. The radio reception stinks. The weather broadcast for our county originates in our town. Yet, the Midland radio cannot receive it clearly. Midland told me to try an external antenna. It made no difference. They then had me send it back for warranty repair. They sent me a new unit that is no better than the first. I NEVER had a reception problem with my Radio Shack radio. Save yourself the headaches and buy something else. | 12 | [

2 | Awesome, but needed a bad guy. | I really like this movie. I loved Casino Royale. And this movie feels like an extention of that movie. Craig is again awesome as James Bond. Pretty darn close to be the best James Bond of the whole series. (It's really tough to beat Sean Connery). The only thing that holds this movie back a little was the villian. James Bond has always had classic memorable villians. And the short guy in this movie was not scary or intimidating and not memorable. And James Bonds needs a challange. I'm already looking forward for the next Bond Movie. I hope Craig stays on for a long time. One thing that has stayed consistant is the beautiful women. Quantum of Solace definitely has hot women. But also another draw back is that there was no Female villian. There is nothing hotter than a dangerous Bond Girl. | 16 | [
