2 | Reap the benefits | Wow. You would not believe what the staff of Cook's Illustrated went through to find the perfect way to roast a chicken or cook an egg. The great news is of course you get to reap the benefits of their wisdom and testing. Before each section (Roast Chicken, for example), there is a summary of their test efforts. What they went through, what the result was, what they found. All this just so they can show you the perfect roasting method. If you don't care to know, just skip to the recipe and follow the instructions. If you do care to know, read the sections and understand the directions.There aren't a lot of "recipes" per se. That's because the book concentrates more on cooking method rather than a straight-out recipe book. Again, in the example of roast chicken, they suggested butter, salt, and pepper for seasoning. But it's their method that insures the chicken will be moist and delicious, whatever seasoning you add, yourself. | 11 | [

2 | Great value for a Gibson guitar | I bought this guitar brand new and I have to say i was quite impressed. I have been playing for a long time and have played many guitars (I now own 8...). The flying v played great when I got it. The factory setup was pretty darn good. It is quite easy to get a variety of tones from the 3way pickup selector and the one tone knob. I was particulary impressed by the tone from the neck humbucker when played clean. It has a definite rock sound to it, but if you cut back on the tone knob a litttle bit, it mellows out into a nice bluesy kind of tone that sounds great. The finish on the guitar was flawless (I am always looking at rough fret edges and poor finish jobs when I check out a guitar). For the money- you cant beat this for a real Gibson. You can't even buy a decent import guitar for the money. I am very happy- rock on! | 11 | [

2 | Some rare cuts on this CD unavailable elsewhere | EEE-O Eleven will not be found on any other album. There are some excellent selections on this album from Sammy's best years as a rat-packer. This album does not contain any of the schlock he recorded in the 70's...it's all 60's stuff from when he was at the top of his game and before he got to be something of a parody. This is all before his "love child" phase. Here he's a true swinger. Under Frank's critical eye, Sam seemed to stick to material that would meet his approval. This was probably a good thing considering some of his recordings after Frank began ignoring him when he got into the drug scene. Several tunes like "Bang Bang" "Eee-O-Eleven" "Salt-n-pepper" are directly from Rat Pack movies. I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. If you dig Sammy already, buy this CD. If you don't, buy this CD and be converted. | 11 | [

2 | Great Product and Wonderful Service As Well | I happen to order this product in a large and I could not fit in them. I am a small statured person only 5 foot tall roughly. So I thought Large would be fine. I did give the company a 1 star earlier. But the company stood by their product and not only did they give me a full refund they were extremely nice about it. So I take back my negative feedback for what it's worth. I thought I was being ignored when it was a slight fluke in me making contact with the merchant. Anyway, next time I need something from this company, I indeed without hesitation will order. Why? Cause I don't have to worry about not being taken care of. I want to thank Jason for taking care of my needs so quickly when he became aware of the situation. | 11 | [

2 | It works great very very happy. Made in Italy. | I never leave reviews but I was very impressed with this unit. I am a bargain shopper and for the price this is a great tool. I used it to kill the weeds and grass along my fence line. I am a beekeeper with about 40 beehives. I do not & cannot use chemicals around the bees. This is perfect and looks good too. However I did have a water hose close by because this puts out some serious heat. I would not of been happy if it didn't. The hose is really long and I like that I can leave the tank pretty far away and keep moving down the fence line. I can see a lot of uses for this unit example starting a bush fire, melting ice off of steps, etc. Uses a 20lb propane tank like you use for your grill. No regulator needed. It was a good buy, and I am very happy with my purchase. | 13 | [

2 | an O.K Game | This is an ok game for some one who is very patient and and dosn't want a challenge. one of the hard thing's about this game is not getting stuck in walls. This game is ok for maybe a younger kid. The controls are hard to get the hang of. Ok so those are the bad things about this game but there are some good things.The game is pretty realistic. The horses look pretty real(for a 15 dollar game) You can pet your horse and you can talk to other people. You can laso make them mad. Fun fun.Over all this is a great game. and worth buying if you don't plan on keeping it long. you could probaly finish it in 2 or 3 days. I hope my review was helpful. | 11 | [

2 | Hello, George and Mark are in it... of course it's a good movie! | This is a great movie. George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg star in the movie as two fishermen that need to make a living. This is a very suspensful movie that takes place in Gloucster,Massachusetts. The fishermen recently come back off the sea and then learn that they must go back out on the Andria Gail ( the ship ). Little do they know...a hurricane is coming straight at them. They don't want to waist all the fish they have cought. They decide to drive through the storm. Sadly there is a 100 foot wave heading straight for them. You'll have to buy the movie to see the ending. This movie is based on a true story that actually happened in 1991 in Glouscter, Massachusetts. Fans of Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney should definetley buy this movie. ENJOY! | 12 | [

1 | Desecration | I agree with several other reviewers...boring!!I started the Left Behind series late and read the 1st 4 books in a week. They were interesting; I cared about the characters. Now it seems as if the author is burdened and JUST wants to finish the series. The writing is elementary. This 390 page book is actually about 200 pages if the print were smaller and the typeset filled the page!! I agree with another reviewer who said get the book from the library or borrow it. Don't waste your money. Does the author truely want to help believers?? Write a decent book!! | 11 | [

2 | Great Show | When the show started, my husband had just gone to boot camp. Of course I had to watch the show! It is nothing like being a true Army Wife, and my dear husband likes to sit there watching it with me, making fun of all the stuff that they get wrong. And trust me on those horrible corny moments so do I.But does Grey's Anatomy show the real life of an intern? I dont think so. And so it is with all the other shows. LOL. So once I get past the fact that its nothing like the lives of all the Army Wives I know. YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE SHOW!!!!It is full of drama, entertainemnt and people trully trying to find who they are. I love hwo the characters are developed. And while they may not get what really happens in military lives, you still see their struggle! Cant wait for season 4 to start!!! | 14 | [

1 | Overall, a pretty good book | My favorite poem in Out of the Dust is "Out of the Dust." It starts off with her telling about how she knows that she is going to die if she stays. She decides to go and hitch a ride on a train. She goes west to get out of the dust. I like it because the book is named after it.I think that the book is appropriate for anyone who can read. People who like non-fiction books, or realistic fiction books would enjoy it. I think that older people might like it because they might be able to relate to it.The free-verse form in the book is an essential piece. It lets the author express what she wants to in a poem form. You don't see many books written this way, so that makes it unique. It also makes it easier to read, I think.Overall, I think that I would rate this book two stars. It is good, but personally I didn't like that much. It has lots of historic background, which I think is good to have in a book. If you give this book a chance, you might like it. | 13 | [

1 | Wish I could take it back! | I purchased this doll for my daughter for Christmas because she had to have it. I was very disappointed when my daughter opened this doll and played with it. She immediately threw it to the side and said "I don't like this baby! It's too hard to make it work!" and of course, in my mind, I am thinking, there goes another $40.00 down the drain. Not only was it hard to feed the doll her bottle and food, but when she feeds it a bottle, water flows from the dolls neck. Also for a child to get this doll to go to the potty has to be the most difficult thing I have ever seen. It actually took a man to force the poop out of this doll! What a joke! My advice is to save your $40.00. We also purchased Baby Chou Chou and feel that she was a better purchase for $40.00. | 11 | [

And I listened to this every day in the late 70's, for a long long time.I was in my high school drill team, high kick squad and needed an awesome tune to make it from Lieutenant to Captain of the Arrowettes. So, I used the House of Blue Lights from Commander Cody to try out for Captain in my senior year. OF COURSE I WON!!!! The people did'nt know what hit em. !!! What a song!ROCK ON WITH YO BAD SELF COMMANDER! My piano idol:)I also used to play a piano set and sing at Bill Kirchen's open mic nights in Northern Virginia the Lost Planet Airmen's awesome guitar player.

2 | Great CD!!!! Though..... | I was very excited when the package arrived.(like with anything I order)I didnt realize that the case was in such bad shape. It looked like it had been found out of a dumpster and it was really scratched up. But all in all if your the type that enjoys smooth-type jazz played on piano, this is the Cd for you. I origanlly got this because I heard "Whatever Works" 6 years ago on the radio, but never knew the name of the song. Then just before Thankgiving on a weekend I heard it again and managed to find the song. Score!! My favorites from this cd are: Whatever Works(of course) and Sketch in E Flat. Surprisingly there is a song that is not insturmental its called "Flower that shattered the stone". It seemed pretty powerful but I didnt really get into it. Great Cd | 11 | [

1 | I don't get it | I'm amazed at the great reviews - I really don't understand it. The product works for me while it's in my mouth; but eventually I can't help but swallow and soon it's gone. I may feel better for a couple of minutes as there is still residual product in my mouth but eventually, my dry mouth is totally back and I need more. What good is that? I can't be doing that all day; it's a little difficult to carry on a conversation. That's not a fix. The manufacturers claim it lasts up to 8 hours??! I'm trying to think how it might work in the people who claim it lasts that long for them. Does it cause some transformation in the salivary gland cells? My dry mouth is medication caused and it makes my life misery. I wish there was a product out there that worked. I'd be happy if it lasted half an hour. | 12 | [

2 | affordable, durable, tasty. | OK, so i'm not rich. at all. but i'm a coffee addict. and after i burned out my last machine ($100 krups jobbie) I decided it was time to go for something real. i knew i couldn't afford it, that it would just be credit card debt, but i knew it would be cheaper to get a nice machine that lasts instead of blowing $100 a year. i got this carezza silver. i really really like it.the downfalls are the silver plastic isn't really as sexy as the photo shows, and the machine doesn't really stay at pressure for long. two shots and it's down for a good 10 sec to repressurize. but that's good, cuz i shouldn't really be drinking 4 shots anyway. the other thing is the instructional video is in some strange european format (some kind of DVR) that i haven't been able to view anywhere, leaving me to wonder what the heck that chute that opens on the top of the machine is for.either way. now, we working class drones can have good espresso. huzzah to that. | 12 | [

1 | I want my money back. | I was a latecomer to the Wheel of Time. I obviously liked it, because I read ten books. This book felt like an episode of daytime television. Nothing meaningful happened, and I wondered if Jordan really means to keep writing the series until they nail his coffin shut. I actually took the book back to the store and demanded a refund. I have NEVER done that with a book before. I felt like I was being exploited by the author for his own pecuniary gain. Very disappointing. You see, I like Egwene and Rand and especially Perrin and the rest of the Scooby gang. And I want to see the story resolved, but I'm not going to read ten more books that don't do anything to get it. I compare this to say, Robin Hobb, who wrote nine books in the same world and somehow never bored me at all. | 11 | [

1 | aweful customer service | I received a Cusinart food processor as house warming gift. (It is a different model.) It broke down at the very first time I used it. I paid shipping and sent it back for repair. Then I got a letter that asked me to pay for the repair. I called multiple times and they said that it was not under warranty. Two out of three customer service representatives were very rude. They insisted that customers should pay as far as it is not under warranty "regardless if it broke down at the first time or on the first day". That tells you they have no commitment to their product quality and how relentlessly they treat their customers. I would never buy another Cusinart product and return any Cusinart gift. Or I will just tell friends never to give me a Cusinart product. | 11 | [

2 | Hooks Galore | I was a huge fan of Umbrellas' self-titled debut album. When I heard that they'd released a follow-up, I knew I had to hear it. I was not disappointed in the least. This is a very solid album; each track brings something special to the collection, and sounds crafted by this band are phenomenal. I did a little bit of research and found that James McAlister of Ester Drang/Pedro the Lion joined up with Umbrellas to collaborate on Illuminaire, what a bonus. If you like these guys, definitely check out Ester Drang and Pedro the Lion.This is a fabulous album to listen to while driving, hanging out, exercising, you name it. I think it's the variation in the songs that makes it so versatile. The songs are also memorable and will have you singing/sighing along with them in no time. I've had it on repeat for a while now and have yet to tire of these songs. A few favorites:1. Again & Again2. Angel or Demon3. Ships4. Dignified Exit Society | 14 | [
"I was a huge fan of Umbrellas' self-titled debut album.",
"When I heard that they'd released a follow-up, I knew I had to hear it.",
"I was not disappointed in the least.",
"This is a very solid album; each track brings something special to the collection, and sounds crafted by this band are phenomenal.",
"I did a little bit of research and found that James McAlister of Ester Drang/Pedro the Lion joined up with Umbrellas to collaborate on Illuminaire, what a bonus.",

1 | Good for 200 Rounds | I oiled all of the O-rings with the oil provided according to instruction. The first 200 rounds fired flawlessly...then it was all downhill from there. The marker then went to rapid fire for about 5 shots. I recocked it...and another 5 rapid fires. So I broke the weapon down, cleaned and re-oiled (in case I missed anything). Again the first 200 rounds or so fired perfectly. Then the cycle repeated itself two more times. I am in the process of returning the entire kit. PLEASE spend the extra money and buy something of quality. It's embarrassing/frustrating when your Discount gear fails you in the middle of the game and you have to watch from the sidelines. Please learn from my lesson. I now have to endure the hassles of repacking, paying shipping costs, and waiting for a refund. | 12 | [

1 | Terminator Tools Reciprocating Saw Doesn't Cut It | 18V Cordless Reciprocating SawI bought this saw from another vendor. It would have been a good deal if the battery had held up for more than a couple months. I sawed through a few small 1" limbs and the battery died after a minute or two of use. I put the saw away for a few days to work on other projects. A month later, I had another use for it. I decided to leave the battery on a longer charge period, thinking I had not charged it sufficiently the first time. No luck. I am past the return period and the cost to return, because of weight, is quite high--high enough that I would buy a battery if I could find one. I'll try Amazon, and see if they can help me find a battery at a reasonable price. Otherwise, this saw will make a fine doorstop or anchor.PS: The Amazon price is awfully high for a no-name brand. I would never pay this high a price, especially for a questionable product (Made in China, of course) | 11 | [

1 | Not impressed | These cards aren't that great. I would have done better picking up the $2 box from Walmart. Among the problems:1. Sums on both sides of the cards: one side will say 11-5 for example, while the other says 17-3. The answer to the 11-5 problem is printed in the upper left hand corner of the 17-3 side, while the 17-3 answer is printed on the 11-5 side. My poor 7-year-old is so confused. I would much rather have 11-5 on one side, and 11-5=6 on the opposite side.2. Yellow text instead of black3. Overinflated price. The suggested retail price on the back of the box says $1.98 or something like that. Why is Amazon charging $5? | 11 | [

2 | legendary jazz beyond mere description! awesome lineup! | i was one of the bass players on this multi-set;my name was Richard Youngstein at time of recording & i'm with the "hotel band." all the ensembles contain well-known & legendary players; some of the vocalists (jack bruce, linda ronstadt,etc.) are stretched past their creative limits and transcend. much of the music (lyrics by haines) by carla bley is religious/spiritual in the highest sense. it was written and played from the heart and resides there in the listener who is truly open. this music must be experienced; it's very difficult to describe in a paragraph or two. listen! my name changed shortly after my recording with carla (& paul bley and a few others) from richard youngstein to dr. noah young. i moved to west coast in '76 and reside in san fernando valley outside l.a. be well and buy this music. it will expand your horizons in the best sense and be good to all your senses! blessings. | 11 | [

1 | Dead,dead, dead.... | I received my first rice cooker for mothers day. Loved it. It wasn't perfect, but for the price it was nice enough. 3 months later it just stopped working, wouldn't turn on, nothing DEAD. I called and they sent out a second rice cooker. Used it, again was happy, yeay I have a rice cooker! One day DEAD, wouldn't work, wouldn't run on, nothing. SO I called customer service and they are sending out another replacement of a different model. I don't expect it to work longer than three month. I will say they have great customer service, but come on why not make a better product!!!!!!????? | 11 | [

2 | Relationships: Best Expressed | Two people. Entirely different. Yet have something in common. Unable to accept the affinity openly. Unable to hide it too.But good relationships are not discriminated by color, race or sex. Point exemplified. Very well indeed.Morgan Freeman as Hoke, an african-american and the chauffeur for Ms. Daisy (Jessica Tandy), an American Jew who is reluctant to have him as one. Their loneliness and the circumstances lead them to a 25-year long warm relationship. Crafted beautifully, this masterpiece is a drama as well as a melodrama.Expressing a serious problem (racism) in an intended comedy is not a joke, and Alfred Uhry - the playwright has done it carefully and effectively. Hans Zimmer's music gives a boost to the film. Inspite of the four academy awards (including Jessica Tandy as Best Actress), I am sure Morgan Freeman also deserved one for his performance.A must-see if you like dramas. | 11 | [

2 | DYLAN WENT FROM DIAPERS TO THE POTTY IN ONE WEEK WITH POTTY POWER! | My boy Dylan was having trouble transitioning to the potty. How many times did he go off into the corner and stand there?!! When asked what he was doing, he would say, "Nothing." When asked if he needed to use the potty, he would say, "No." Of course, he did. Well, if this sounds familiar, then "Potty Power" is the answer. I bought the 2009 version listed separately on Amazon (don't know the difference but went for the more current date). Dylan began watching it and within a week started getting to the potty instead of the corner. Very impressive. After trying the potty bear, books, and tons of reasoning and pleading (which all worked with my daughter way back when), I am just thankful and relieved that this DVD worked. I wish I had gotten it sooner. | 11 | [

1 | I have to say it~ | I was so annoyed with this author, I wanted to shake her. I do not suffer fools gladly. She went and bought a house that she knew was haunted, she experienced things there herself before the final purchase. She still wanted it. Fine, I would too. But then to run around and act silly and fearful each time something occurred, well that is just annoying. I seriously disliked her. Lillie Mae Scott, the housekeeper, I loved~ but Frances annoyed the bejeebers out of me.Typical haunted house stuff. Nothing stood out much to me. Of course having lived with a " ghost" or a few in the past may have tainted my view a bit. I enjoy the company myself.. | 11 | [

1 | Horrible movie, I'm so embarassed | I bought this movie as a gift for my brother because it was cheap, he likes folk music, and because 'Spinal Tap' and 'Best in Show' are hilarious. I'd never seen it, but since it came from the people who put out those movies, it had to be at least decent, right? WRONG!!This is the worst comedy I've ever seen in my life. There I was, after Christmas with my family, and we decide to pop it in. 'It should be great', I tell them. Then silence. Then my mom fell asleep. Then people decided to get up and get something to drink. Then my sister-in-law decides to 'turn in early'. Not one laugh from anyone the entire time.The only redeeming part about it was whether they were going to kiss at the end. Excuse me, if that's the only redeeming quality about a COMEDY, then that blows.God, I'm never buying a movie sight unseen again. Thankfully it wasn't my brother's only present. | 13 | [

2 | Just what I Hoped For. | Purchase the 8Qt, 20, 40 and 60Qt Stock Pots without even Knowing them. Very Impressed with the Weight, the Construction and what seems to be Its Sturdiness. Well Packed and Shiny. Loved them so Far. I give Four Stars Because, I've not used them Yet. It i'll be a Few more weeks b4 I do. I have a feeling I will change to Five Stars. I Prefer the Stainless Steel Over Aluminum for a Ton of Reasons: Hardness, Heath Conductivity, Strength, Longetivity and Longer Lasting Beauty. Still need to Purchase the 100Qts with Basket. Even Though they cost much more than Aluminum, I don't Expect them to Fall Apart into The Food over the Years. Another thing that Impressed Me is the Perfect H, D & Width that I needed for Soups, Souses, Stews, All around Pots, Just Need to Add The LOVE. Hope this Review is as good for U as others have been for me. | 12 | [

1 | Get BL-6C instead | I bought this as a replacement battery for my Nokia N-Gage QD about 3 months ago. I've had my n-gage for about 2 years now, and thought it was time to get a replacement battery. The vendor sent the battery in a timely fashion, and I have no complaint about them. However, the battery only has a standby time of less than 2 days. When I recharged my old battery that came with the N-Gage (BL-6C), it had a much longer standby time. The BL-6C is rated at 1070 mAH. I guess a difference of 250 mAH between the BL-5C and the 6C really makes a huge difference. I still use both batteries, and alternate after about a week or 2, so the other battery has a chance to discharge. In retrospect, I think the older battery is performing much better now that it has a chance to discharge from time to time. Check the model of the battery that came with the original phone, and go for the same model. If it were between the 5C and the 6C, I highly recommend the 6C. Don't get the BL-5C. Good luck. | 13 | [

2 | Passion for Passion | This is an amazing album! When I first went to my univ. my roomate and I used to blast it every morning! When I was shuffling from home to school... I lost my copy, and just re-purchased it. Songs like Breathe, and Grace Flows Down bring absolute peace and contentment on my most turbulent and upsetting days. The songs The Noise We Make and America get you pumped up for God and inspired. The song We Fall Down, that's sang in Setswana, is absolutely magical and powerful. Salvation is always a song I come back to when I need to feel God's presence. This album is a must have in every Christian's library. It inspires, and makes you feel not alone with the crowd cheering in the background. A must buy! | 12 | [

2 | Been There Done That | When you pick up a Clive Cussler novel, you already know pretty much how it's going to end. It's almost a foregone conclusion. I went into this book with a small amount of trepidation. I didn't really care for Flood Tide because I felt it went on too long. When I saw the page count on Atlantis Found, I was afraid yet again. But, happily, I was wrong. It turned out to be a very enjoyable book. I finished it after only a few days.The trick to Cussler novels isn't the fact that the heroes save the world at the end. Or that the villains are dastardly. It's the way Cussler takes a small piece from history (or a myth) and weaves it into a credible tale that makes you want to read. I have always read and enjoyed Cussler's work and will continue to do so. | 11 | [

2 | Overall great product...but a few complaints | I agree with (almost) all of the positive statements you will read from other reviewers; it's a great product for $99. But I have two complaints - warnings - for future purchasers:1. The earbuds provided simply do not stay in my ear -especially during exercise (my primary reason for buying the product). A solution that worked for me are EarJams made by Griffin Technology and sold by TigerDirect via Amazon for about $11. I have also used and recommend 'The Plug' earbuds by Koss. You can buy at Amazon for about $13. Also check out the 'Sparkplug' earbuds by Koss. Looks like it comes with a white cord and costs about $13 too.2. Could not get the Shuffle to work with the front USB ports on my Dell computer. Works fine with a rear USB port - but not as convenient. Ideal solution would be to buy the Apple Dock Connector - but feel it is overpriced at $30. For about $6 you can get a white 6' USB2 extension that will do the job for you (check out Eforcity.com). | 12 | [

2 | Car tune Princess | This album kicks in the same vein as Jane's Addictions new one. Hard, eighties rock with a little grunge tinge. Yeah, her voice is shot, but it was better on her previous stuff? My complaint is it's a bit too eighties, a bit too slick metal pop. At her best Courtney sounds like the Donna's with a more polished backing band (which isn't a criticism, actually), at her worst, she sounds like the drunken, drugged spoiled Hollywood creation that we see staggering in and out of the media. Do these artists really need Linda Perry? What exactly did she bring to the Courtney table Hole couldn't? "You know, Courtney darling, you need at least one more drug reference and I'll mix in the proper glossy veneer, and we'll sell billions, Love...) I said, Hey. What's going on? Kurt would tap Courtney on the shoulder and say, "Tell Linda to leave. We can handle this." | 11 | [

1 | TERRIBLE | My husband and I just watched this movie yesterday and both agreed that it was terrible. I have seen (and loved) Charade previously, but he had not and we both did not like the movie for the following reasons:1. The Chemistry between Walberg and Newton was non-existent. You kept asking yourself during the movie, why do they like each other, and why do I care what happens to them.2. The constant close-ups on people's faces was annoying.3.

1 | The movable gauge is a cheap piece of plastic that is inaccurate | I bought this item from a CVS Pharmacy at the recommendation of my allergist. When I used the peak flow monitor, it gave a reading a of 750 (the max), and I was all like: "My allergist kicks a--. The regimen she gave me is working." I used it several more times to see if it was correct. It continued to read the maximum. Normal for my age/height is about 550. I used it again, blowing a soft puff of air, it still read close to the maximum. Full disclosure: I am pretty sure the item was defective and may not be representative of all of them. But the plastic dial looks to be made from cheap and flimsy plastic, that would be easily manipulated if someone across the room sneezed. Fortunately I was able to return it. Given the other bad reviews, instead of getting a replacement, I've decided to research other options. | 11 | [

2 | The warmth of Jonathan Richman | What can you say about Jonathan Richman ? You love him or you hate him for the same reasons : Because of his voice, because he's so earnest in writing about anything that can happen, because of his honesty which can be so sweet that it hurts in your teeth. I love the guy, but I don't like all his albums. (There's nothing wrong with that, I certainly don't like all the things I've done and I'm me!) If I like it doesn't depend on the songs but on the general sound of the album. And this album sounds great, the songs are great and the spirit is great. The only thing I didn't like was the playlenghth of the album = much too short. I'm not a rich man so I've been in doubt for some time if I would buy it. But the temptation was too great. Listen to my personal favourites Reno and especially Corner store. All the best things that Jonathan Richman and country can give you are available on this album. | 11 | [

2 | A fun ant experience | My grandmother bought this for my daughter. We sent away for the ants in winter thinking that they wouldn't send them until spring. WRONG! They arrived on December 24th and our mailperson left them in freezing temperatures on the front porch. Fortunately, they weren't there long and all survived. Much to our delight our shipment of ants included one pupae and one larva ant. My daughter was absolutely delighted. She's spent a lot of time with a magnifying glass observing the ants. It is facinating watching the ants tunnel. The only drawback of the toy is that it does look like it is challenging for the ants to climb the hill and will sometimes fall down. They don't appear to be harmed. We are hoping they survive longer than the 2-4 weeks stated in the brochure. | 12 | [

2 | The best sub $100 in earphones! | If you have anyone tell you the Shure E2C or the Bose Tri(whatever) is better, two words... BS! V-Moda Vibes are the best sub one hundred dollar in earphones --period! The bass is perfect, the treble is definitely present and the highs never miss. I truly love it. My iPod 30GB was lost recently (retail for $249) but I am angry at the fact that the earphones (V-Moda Vibes retailing for $99) were lost with it. I don't know why losing the Vibes hurt more than losing the iPod when the 5.5G iPod cost more. True love perhaps? I bought my 2nd pair here for only a little over $70 after shipping (in fact I paid $20 to rush it overnight) and I am happy once again. You WILL NOT regret these earphones. Truly remarkable! Oh yeah, the craftsmanship is not too shabby either... | 11 | [

1 | Disgusted ... don't waste your money on a hateful, abusive hero | I outgrew Diana Palmer's books years ago, but when I saw that she had a new Desire book, I picked it up out of curiosity to see if she had evolved in recent years. Apparently not. I cannot believe that Silhouette would publish such an awful book. The hero in this book is simply mean, hateful, and abusive to the heroine -- yelling at her, screaming at her, demeaning her. He has absolutely NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's physically and emotionally abusive of her, and then in the end, he shows up with a ring and she forgives decades of abuse to fall into his arms. Please. That is so 1970! I actually read this entire book in one sitting (it's short, mind you) because I couldn't believe a book published in 2006 could be this outdated and this bad. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I kept waiting for the hero to develop some redeemling qualities, but he never did. | 11 | [

1 | Noisy heroin induced junk | I mean honestly, this album sucks. I know its supposedly the prototype for punk, but c'mon there are much better examples of proto punk, i.e. The Stooges. There is just too much heroin on this record. "Sister Ray" is a noisy mess. The only worthwhile track is the title track. The rest of the album is just an all out attack on quality music. Don't get me wrong, I love rawness and imperfection in my rock music, but this is just crap. There are better representations of what the Velvet Underground were capable of and how influential they were for punk and indie music. Pick up the slightly overrated "Velvet Underground and Nico" and also the very underrated "Velvet Underground." But skip this one all together. You'll be better for it. nuff said | 13 | [

2 | I'm ADDICTED to PLASTIC! | I have to say that this is a great read! It's funny, has TONS of gossip about celebrities, and shockingly a BIG HEART! You may know Janice from the TOP MODEL show on UPN, or as a fashion model ... but the biggest shock is underneath her hard exterior is a woman who really cares. She tells things like they are, and she makes no apologies for some of her bad behavior! But she also lets you know that PERFECTION can be a disease, and she lets you in on how to fight that.I love this book! It's not a literary masterpiece in conventional terms ... more like a gab session with one of your wildest friends. Definitely funny! Definitely shocking! And so much fun you don't want it to end.I don't care if her modeling advice is suspect (as one reviewer noted), or if she's seen as just another washed up model. She's a courageous woman who deserves to be celebrated. I admire her for being who she is ... the super model with the SUPER MOUTH! :-) | 12 | [

2 | Despite the name dropping, a great listen | This CD leaves you wanting more. You like Paul DeLay's harmonica, you'll want more harmonica. You like his singing, you want more Paul vocals. You like his selection of band members, you will want to hear more of each of them. While this is a showcase for Paul Delay, he generously gives up the spotlight to other players/vocalists while still letting you hear the DeLay touch. I think a highlight of this CD is Zora Young singing "Come On Home". A great song with a plot twist ! And now I'm trying to find more Zora Young. You can tell that Paul is excited to write and perform with a different band, but I could do without the kitschy intro device on "El Train". The song is good enough without it. DeLay continues to provide great blues with a special edge for today's listeners. Don't forget to pay attention to Jimmy Dawkins' guitar and Sho Komiya's bass. | 12 | [

2 | I loved it! | The one thing that came to my mind after reading this book is how much I loved it. I remember I went around telling all my friends how great it was and that they should read it to. I started to feel like I actually knew the characters in the book. EJD made them come alive. The story was full of surprises. That made me not want to put it down. Jordan and Kim had a great love story. When the book ended I just wanted to hear more. By then they had become apart of my life. I wanted an update of what happened next in their lives. The book touched on every emotion. I felt anger, sadness, and joy. This book also, at times, made me laugh. I've read Sister, Sister and Cheaters as well, but this one was the best. This book is definitely a MUST READ! | 15 | [

1 | This game is not worth a dime! | Seriously people... this game is horrible. It's a series of 8 games that are very simplistic and BORING. Your typical flash game on the web is better. The graphics in-game are not that great. Even my 3 and 5 year old Incredibles Fans were bored after 5 minutes."Daddy Turn it off this isn't fun!" was all I heard. Man, I wasn't expecting much but this is about 2 days of programming effort, Not even a day of 'design' and some cut scenes. Sorely disappointed in this one. If I could return it, I would. AVOID!What you get: 8 basic 'single task games' such as:-Help Mr. Incredible get in shape by pressing the spacebar at the right time (boring)-Help Dash get to the front of the class and put tacks on the teacher's chair. (for one.. do I want my kids doing that? There would have been better things to show)-Help "mom" catch dishes as they fall. (oooo How EXCITING)It's too painful to go on.

1 | Worest ever Quicken Home & Business | I have been using Quicken H&B; version since version 98. In general, I have been a happy camper. Last month, I got a warning from inside my 2003 version that the all on-line downloading feature would be discontinued in April if I don't upgrade (they call it "retail" or something like that). So I bought the 2006 version without much research and hesitation judged by the past upgrade experience. Boy, what a mistake! First, I cannot import the qif data from my credit union and bank any more. Then I got an error saying the data downloaded from one of my credit card companies was saved in a account no longer existing in my registry, what's going on? Then there are data problems with my investing accounts. I basically spent 5 hours "fixing" the data. This is getting ridiculous.If you are upgrading, my suggestion to you is to do thorough research first. If you are start from scratch, forget it, look for something else. | 11 | [

2 | Couldn't be happier | After doing a little homework, I replaced a Palm m105 with a new iPaq 1945. I couldn't be happier. I use the iPaq for backing up household Quicken finances, mapping, storage of pictures, and contacts, etc. I added eWallet for all the information it stores and encrypts. I added MS Reader and use it to read when I'm shopping with my wife. I added a dictionary for those words I'm not familiar with. Sync'ing data with my laptop is super easy. I haven't experienced any shortage of battery power even though I set the screen backlighting on high. I carry some spreadsheet data on the pocket edition of Excel. I carry more information on the pocket edition of Word. Even though the manufacturer recommends against keeping storage cards inserted in the iPaq due to power issues, I haven't experienced any undue power usage with a storage card kept in the iPaq. I'm happy. | 12 | [

And I couldn't believe the arrogance and the audacity of celebrating a culture of elitism that thrives upon decadence and depravity. Why are we watching this? And WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR IT?It is even more obvious, a handful of years later, that Tom Cruise is "not OK." That Nicole Kidman has her own brand of dark drama going on, a drama that is not that far removed from Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith. It's larger than life and darker than insanity. We should do something about it. I wish I knew what. But I don't want it with my popcorn. | 12 | [

2 | Great product but a little...... | I would like to start out saying that this product is great! Hewlett Packard is always known for their multimedia hardware. Well they didn't go wrong with this one. I have been using this product for just over a month and it works great. I have burned many backup CD's and made my own personal mix, audio CD. I did all these without a flaw. The CD-ReWritable works great for all my quick backups that I won't need for a long period of time, just for a quick storage. The only thing wrong with this CD Burner is speed! If you are in the market for a CD Burner and don't have the money, this is the burner for you! If you are looking for speed, definately look to Hewlett Packards higher end line of burners with at least 8x Write. Overall it is a GREAT product! | 11 | [

1 | ran out of battery while opening can - now can't take it off can | I got this elsewhere for $9.99, and I was happy with it for the first few times that I used it. It worked well, cut the lid off without sharp edges. This time, it ran out of battery power halfway through and now I can't get it off the can. I can't reverse it because I have no power. I can't change batteries because the battery cover is the whole length of the opener, and you can't open it because it's stuck to the can. I finally threw both away. (it was only $9.99 , and so I had gotten 2 now I will check the battery level EVERY time before I use it. What a pain) Watch out. I think I got 3 or 4 uses out of the first one. I would be more upset if it had cost me more. Amazon prices are usually pretty competitive. I'm not sure why its so much.. then again prices change on Amazon all the time in case you guys haven't noticed (sometimes during the same day) | 12 | [

1 | Where do I start? | 1. Opening the reservoir takes two thumbs and considerable force.2. A step-like water level indicator is down inside the reservoir and very difficult to read.3. The grinder fills with condensation and makes a gummy mess with the residue grinds.4. The grinder has several pieces and is tedious to clean and dry. You have to do so every time you use it. I finally stopped using it and went back to a separate grinder.5. The grinder sounds like a jet engine and seems to go on forever.6. The carafe drips all over when you pour.7. The coffee needs reheating after about a half hour. (I drink it black.)Other than that, it's great. Looks good, too. | 13 | [

Come on, I'm no special effects person whatsoever, but corn syrup and red food dye would have been better. BLOOD IS NOT COLORED BLACK. Why would they use black blood??

2 | Great microscope for a kid! | Santa brought this microscope for our eight year old daughter who is a bigfoot enthusiast. Don't ask.

She loved looking at the premounted slides, and found them exciting. She asked, "Can we see germs with this?" When she learned she could she wanted to make slides of germs. (bacteria).

2 | ..JtHM.. | Well, Ive been a HUGE fan of all Jhonen's work, and I must say..this is by far his greatest achievement. I love this book, so much, i wont let my friends borrow it! Anyways, if your'e into that "darker" humor thing, this is for you. It's about Johnny. He's a skinny, insane, morbidly dressed youth. He's got issues, BIG ones. But somehow, anyone who reads this can relate to him in some form or another. There is lots of gore, blood, and just plain horrific brutality. Sounds splended, right? Oh,yeah..and he kills people- a lot. [This book is a collection of all 7 issues of JtHM. It explores the mind of a psycho and also somehow gives you lots of pain in your stomache after youv'e laughed so hard from it!! IT DESERVES THE 5 STARS!] | 13 | [

2 | Fabulous Product! | WOW!! Every year when winter rolls around I end up suffering with some fairly bad cracked, dry fingertips. I've tried everything from ointments to creams with little success. I stumbled upon Porter's Lotion while doing an internet search and when I read the reviews on Amazon, I figured it was worth a try. I almost balked at the price, but now I am glad I didn't. THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS!!! Within two days of receiving the shipment I could see a difference in my fingers. I will never be without this lotion. My cracked fingers are a thing of the past. Porter's Hired Hand Cream is worth every penny. If you suffer from dry cracked fingertips, give this a try. You will not be disappointed. | 12 | [

1 | I can't believe people actually enjoy this | This album is terrible. This is below below what Eminem's standards should be. A couple good songs and a funny skit should't sell 4 million copies in the first week. Eminem needs to learn he can't sing. 'Mockingbird' would've been good without it. 'Spend Some Time' would've been good without it. Everything would be better without it. Dre's production is TERRIBLE. Nothing special from him. Nothing special from Eminem. Stat Quo is wack. 50 Cent sounds dumber than ever ("She says she is an inspiring actress"). Bland, bland stuff. | 13 | [

MJB's music has always hit home with many women including myself. All her songs seem to reflect my own personal relationships and this disc is no different. MJB sings from the soul she feels everything that she sings. Today many singers just sing the words and have no feeling behind them. MJB takes us back to they way music once was. My favorite songs are "Memories", ""Give me you", and "The Love I Never Had". Mary you really did it this time. Thanks for all the music the past 7 years every song has been a part of my own personal relationships. | 12 | [

1 | Very over-rated | Ok, lets get this straight...a comic book has to be good at 2 things...story and art. If you just want a good story, read a novel, if you want art, buy a painting. A comic book should be both. The artwork in this is horrible. I know there are different types and styles of artwork, and im fine with that ( ie. Dark Knight by Frank Miller...very different style, but you can still tell its well done for what it is). This is just plain bad. The artist Stephen Bissette needs to find another job. The story itself is just mediocre. Im a comic book fan and horror fan, but this just does not cut it. Amazed people rate it so highly, when compared to Dark Knight, Watchman, Sandman and others. ( PS . .this artwork reminds me of first few issues of Sandman book...ALSO horrible art, although great story at least). | 13 | [

1 | Problems only days after warranty expired. | The LCD screen only shows half the numbers. Is it a 5 or an 8? Kind of hard to use the microwave if you cant read the lcd. I bought this just days over a year ago and now it's faulty. Microwave looks nice and functions nicely. There must have been a penny or two pinched on the lcd. I have calculators with the same technology that have lasted for 20 years. It's not a part that can be replaced yourself. So here goes a service call. I'll bet the repair costs more than the microwave. More to come. | 11 | [

1 | disappointing | I had high hopes for this album, but was let down for the most part. First of all what is Ghost thinking of when releasing an album where all the songs are in a different order and others are not even on the album? For example one of the best songs in a minute was left off but in the track listing it is listed as track #1 (the sun). That's just unacceptable.The production on the album is very mundane as heard from the first single. This song is shameful to the Wu Tang legacy. Does Ghost really think the average listner is going to pick up his album because his first single has Carl Thomas on it? There are not enough Rza beats, plain and simple. Furthermore, where are the Wu posse cuts? THe best song on Supreme Clientel was Wu banga 101 with the fellow Clan. On this album they are for the most part MIA. Even the potentially classic track the watch has a different beat on the album that cannot even touch the non album version. Overall a disappointing release. | 12 | [

2 | World War 2 Buff? This is a Time Machine.. | The game did have a bad launch, but it is updated often, and the last patch is UNREAL. Imagine if you will. You spawn as infantry and hop aboard an Opel. The truck is full and other Opels are loading up. There are Halftracks pulling 88's and Paks you're in a real convoy. As you near the battle there are tanks flanking the enemy city on multiple sides. There are Stuka's bombing the enemy from the sky. The air is controlled by your 109's. In the river your boats are moving in with troops. All this and every one of them is controled by another person. You can drive a tank and your friend can operate the main gun. You fly the plane and your buddy's the tail gunner, or how about the Bombadeer? Visit the game's web page and look at some of the screen shots and videos. This game ROCKS! | 14 | [

1 | Hamilton has ruined the Anita Blake series | What a terrible book! 500 hundred pages of sex and only about 200 pages of a real story. Anita is more or less a nympho now -- she'll have sex with just about anyone. Maybe Dolph is next! I miss all the great story lines where she is actually hunting non-human killers. Jean-Claude has actually become close to uninteresting. Anita is almost to the point that she doesn't really need him or Richard. Also, I have never taken to Micah; his description is not very masculine & doesn't appeal to me like Jean-Claude or Richard did. If I wanted a book with little plot and a lot of sex, I'd read "Deep Throat". I will probably keep on reading the series but I will never buy a new copy again. It will be the used book store from now on. | 11 | [

1 | Still no acceptable book about Panel Data | To say that this book is scandalous would only be a mere exaggeration. Instead of clarifying the literature on Panel Data, the author just sums up some papers (often citing them word by word; why bother then buying a book? Just copy the articles!) without adding any value to them. Even worse, while summarizing, the essence of the papers often goes missing. The only value of the book consists of a quite complete reference list of the literature up to 1994. (However, the list is of course a little biased in favor of the author. He mentions every minuscule and unimportant publication of himself. One could almost get the impression that he contributed to Panel Data) Expecting a book that provides the main ideas and clarifies them together with a clear notation and proofs of the result, I was very disappointed with Badi Baltagi's book! Not recommended at all! (Unfortunately there is no alternative I know of!) | 11 | [

2 | Excellent book!!! | I agree with the previous reviewer. Buy this book and either Alex's or "Your First Quilt Book (Or So It Should Be)." The two compliment each other well.

One approach involves learning lots of relevantsmall skills. Later with practice and ability you may be able to putthose skills together in truely creative ways. The other approachinvolves learning some general principles and then practicing problemswhich apply those principles in more (or less!) obvious ways. I havealways preferred the second approach, especially when it done withproblems whose solutions are less obvious.

1 | Please do NOT read this book | I've read hundreds of romance novels, and come across many bad ones. And this book ranks amoung the worst. It starts out promisingly. Interesting idea and all. But it just drones on and on. I began to hate all the characters. I just couldn't understand why she liked him, and kept on loving him, even though he was a huge jerk, and passing her onto his brother. Yuck. I read Sutcliffe's book "Once A Hero" which also has a twin twist. It was definetly not one of my favorites, but it is much better then this one. I just kept waiting for the book to get better, for it to redeem itself in some way. Not to give it all away, but you find out in the Prologue that she finds out the deceit- the story then jumps back 3 months. When the book finally drags up to that point again, it finishes in about 10 pages. I wish Sutcliffe and spared us all and finished the book 10 pages after the Prologue. The stuff inbetween was just fluff. | 15 | [

1 | 1491 Not Exactly what you may think !!! | The book cover and audio book cover can be a little misleading. Some phrases the author uses are not in the average readers linguistic base. I thought this book would be a historical examination of America before Columbus came here. I failed to realize at the time that Columbus went to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. He didn't go to America. For us who are not well read in this era the references to "The America's" can be a little misleading.The book is a true scholars work. Lots of information. It is primarily about the Aztec and Incan Indians and their cultures. It does mention North American Indians but only a fraction of the book.

The ink cartridges clog and don't work. etc. etc. etc. There is always some issue with it and I wind up getting frustrated and printing it on another printer.

1 | Madonna- Erotica | Wow. This album displeased me. Usually, I would have an album's taste last for a week, but I couldn't give this one a try. This album was ridiculous, mostly. There are a couple of songs that have decent beats, but I'm a lyricist, and lyric-wise, I need to rebuke this Erotica album. I expected it to be pretty good. One song had good lyrics: "Why's It So Hard." That's worth listening to because of its strong reasonableness and persuasive questioning about this phenomena we live in. "Bye Bye Baby" is for people who are breaking up, and who wants to go out with that heartache, especially if you're not under that condition of considering related departure from somebody? "Deeper and Deeper" had a good beat, but I need an album to stand out, and this one fleeted my attention despite what the majority rates it on Amazon. Don't buy Madonna's "Erotica." | 11 | [

1 | Get ready to by a new battery! | We have owned the swivel sweeper for 8 months. It worked pretty well for a while. Now, the battery will not hold a charge very long and it only works for about 7 minutes. Realizing that we need a new batrery, I checked into it. It is 14.95 and 7.00 for shipping. 7.00 for shipping a small battery? This company is really charging 18.00 for the battery because they could ship it for less. They are just adding shipping as a way to generate more income for them. It does not cost 7.00 to ship a battery that weighs less than a pound. They think the public is stupid. Typical of TV stuff and we shouldnt have expected more. I will buy a different brand rather than give this company anymore of my money. Why would I pay 21.00 for a new battery when I can buy a new swivel sweeper for 10 bucks more. But hello....I am not buying a new one. This product could prove expensive to operate over a period of time. | 15 | [

1 | A Complicated Mess. Dr. Symington's' Pseudo-Philosophy is an Unfortunate Disaster. | I am a psychiatrist with a background in philosophy. As such, I had great hopes for this book. What I found, however, was almost unreadable. Dr. Symington's writing is niether clear nor concise. His incomplete logic, mixed metaphors, and poorly thought out conclusions indicate little more than muddy thinking. Most of his foundational conclusions . . . and even idiosynchratic wording of certain ideas . . . have been clearly stolen from well established philosophical traditions and sewn together in a way that lacks logical integrity. I wish I could recommend this book, but I cannot. Complicated, abstruse, and even incohenet passages may masquerade as genius to some, but in truth reflect only unclear thinking. I'm not sure even Dr. Symington knows what he's trying to say. | 15 | [

1 | Unuseable tutorial | I gave up on this book at chapter 2. Why? Well, the author said "Create a rollover in Fireworks or your favorite graphics program." Who said I know how to create rollovers? If I knew that what good is this program to me? I happen to have Fireworks but haven't learned it yet. So I went to the Fireworks manual to look up when it teaches rollovers: chapter 16! I then tried to import a rollover that Fireworks includes but it wouldn't go into Dreamweaver. The author seems so bent on showing off his prowess that he forgets that we beginners don't know anything. And I check the targeted audience: Beginner to Advanced! My suggestion: (1) Though Macromedia sells Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver UltraDev, these are, from a learning perspective two different programs and you have to learn Dreamweaver before approaching UltraDev; (2) Buy Dreamweaver 4 Hands-On-Training by Lynda Weinman and Garo Green. That book is great! | 12 | [

1 | Creepy, at best | This is another Sparks book that disappointed me. I understand that she writes fiction. I understand that she sensationalizes her stories. However, I believe this book would have been much better if she left out the whole occult aspect. There was a lot for her to go on without having to make that part up about Jay. Here again she messed up dates and times so that you could tell what entries she was making up. If you're going to make it a journal at least get the dates and times "correct." Also the timeline throughout the story wasn't correct, even for a work of fiction. Jay would write about numerous things happening over a span of days but the entries in between would only be a day apart (particularly the entry about drinking the cow blood......the entries didn't add up at all).This story actually left a really bad taste in my mouth. The things she described and the thought sequence was really disturbing (especially towards the end of the story). I don't care to read it again. | 11 | [

1 | They don't crash in Alaska!! | The video box says they crash in Alaska, but in the movie they say they are crashing near Tumbler Ridge, which is in British Columbia. They say it is North-North-East of Edmonton, but it is North-North-West. This movie is so full of holes!! The plane comes to a rest half off a cliff, but no other scene shows the cliff. They drive from B.C. to Niagara Falls for the (quite awesome) bridge scene, in a few hours. A guy falls several hundred feet during an avalanche, while moments before he was in a wooded valley. The snow comes and goes. People arrive out of nowhere. The bear eats two humans in as many days. The movie box also says it is a chemical weapon, but it is a mind controlled weapon, with what seems to be electro-magnetic parts. The only chemical is there to destroy the machine. This movie is a good one to watch to see how many holes you can find! It doesn't take much to find them. Treat must be nearing the end of his career. | 15 | [

2 | My Dirt Devil Hand Vac | This shipping was a bit slow, but I really enjoy using my Dirt Devil, and your kids will too! It's got tons of power and actually makes cleaning fun! With all the attachments you get, you start looking at all of the places your regular floor vac doesn't pick up. The trap pouch is a bit messy to empty as the dust will fly out. I emptied it outside in the trash, but felt guilty of aiding in pollution. But that's what you've emptied from inside your home! I was shocked at all the dust I found!It's also great for your car from a day at the beach, and quick for mishaps in the kitchen. I would use this to clean our tent. It has a nice long cord too. It is a bit noisy and vent blows at you as the other customers have reported, but I have nothing bad to report at all. It's worth every penny! Wished it was a push vac to do my whole house! I better look into that! | 13 | [

1 | Not worth buying... | After reading all of the reviews for this product, I thought I would be getting an excellent set of tongs. Initially I got the tongs so that I could grab charcoal out of my charcoal chimney. When I received these tongs I was greatly disappointed. My first complaint was that the tongs have no ability to grab or hold onto things. These tongs are comparable to my Weber Professional Tongs because they both grab things by the tip. I ended up having to flatten out the tips so that they have a better ability to grab. My next complaint is the spring that makes these tongs function is cheap and unreliable. My Weber Tongs surpassed these tongs in quality hands down (Better spring, better design, more quality). I have a 12 inch lodge dutch oven and love it! I expected better quality products from lodge. I wish that I would have seen these in a store so that I would have realized they were probably made in China. | 11 | [

2 | The Perfect Artist | Just yesterday, my dad got this CD. Lily's voice is phenominal! It's the perfect music for anyone. This young British singer/songwriter is a breath of fresh air compared to sappy over the top artists like Christina Agulaira and The Pussy Cat Dolls. This girl is totally on key, and her lyrics can relate to everyone . Those over the top groups or singers just put smoke into your mind. But this just clears away all that smokey badness. This is for all ages too.I highly reccomend Lily Allen and this CD. This is the first time I've heard her I am blown away. I am definity asking my parents' for another Lily Allen CD for my birthday. She's pop but not to POP! | 11 | [

1 | Good Design but poor quality control | I installed the first one 7 months ago. Worked fine for 6 months, then stopped working. Both the fan and heating coil were not operational. Took it apart and used my multimeter to see whether I could find out where was the problem. Not the GFCI, not the switch. The heating coil was still intact. No easy work around. My daughter likes this dryer. I bought another unit from Amazon. The new one made clicking noise when I was installing it. Took it apart and saw a piece of white plastic inside. It was not broken off from the dryer itself. Seem to be a random piece included as "bonus for returning customer". Will see how long this second one last. It is not likely I'll bought the third one. | 15 | [

Tenderness, love, happiness, sadness, sweetness, close family relationships, laughter, tears. adventure, schemes..it's all here rolled up in one heartwarming adventure.

2 | Brilliant Gothic Southern Rock | Kings of Leon's first CD is one of the most prolific rock albums of the last 2 decades rivaling Nirvana and other grunge rockers of the early 1990s. With obvious influences such as Led Zep, Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Black Crowes they have taken American southern rock to a new level. By the way, this purchase of YYMH was actually for a friend. I had the album already. My friend left this voice mail after hearing the CD: "Oh my God. This is the best rock album I've ever heard. Every song, every guitar riff, every lyric is amazing. I don't know who they sound like. No one really. And Caleb's voice. It's perfect."Anyway, enjoy! | 12 | [

1 | Based on the preview | I saw the full preview (not just the teaser) in front of Lord of the Rings. It truly looks as if George Lucas is using this opportunity to say, "If you hated The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones will make you wretch even more." It looks TERRIBLE.It's a love story. That's fine. That could be very interesting. However, when you have George "King of Cheese" Lucas writing and directing, it's unbearable. It looks like it's going to be Not Another Teen Sci-Fi Movie. Some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard was in this preview.I will not comment on the fact that N'Sync is going to be in this movie. I think that this speaks for itself.I suppose what makes it all the more upsetting is knowing how good it all once was. And realizing that, for once, it wasn't us who changed as we got older, it was the movies. Thanks a lot George. | 11 | [

2 | Wonderful music | I am Indian (Yavapai, APache, and Pawnee) and my grandfather was a personal friend of Paul Ortega and loved his music. He had this tape in his truck and we would go on fishing day trips around Arizona. We would be driving home at night, when it was already dark, and my grandpa would put this tape in. I would fall asleep to these songs and loved them. They were soothing and beautiful. My grandfather died in 2009 and Paul Ortega was the medicine man for the funeral. I hadn't heard any of these songs for twenty years, but then "Bird Song" came on our local public radio station's Native music show one day. I knew I recognized the song and somehow knew the words from way back when. Later that day I looked on the playlist, and saw who the song was by. It transported me to my childhood with my grandfather, fishing and driving through the remote reaches of Arizona. I downloaded the cd instantly and it's fantastic. Beautiful Native songs meet folk meet blues. Highly recommended. | 13 | [

2 | Voice & Personality Plus...... | I absolutely enjoyed this VHS. Not so much for all the arias presented, some presenters were very good. But I watched the facial expressions of Luciano. Priceless. Here was a man who knew every note, of every aria. You could see in his facial expression just what he thought of the singers presentation. His smile, his eyes, his eyebrows, communicate so much. He had a face that spoke much without uttering a word. I sat there and chuckled, and enjoyed. Of course his own opera presentation was wonderful. I wish there were more of these tapes still available. He was indeed a God send. | 12 | [

With all those cool videos being played on MTV and hearing them all the time on the radio. Thing is I grew up and started to get into their early albums. Now I would say "Deguello" racks as my favorite from them. Don't get me wrong, I still dig this album. With songs like "Legs", "I Got The Six", and "Got Me Under Pressure" who would not. Thing is that at least in my area this CD is on the radio 24 hours a day! The classic rock station and album rock station play this CD and all the big hits to death!!

1 | Can't play so I guess it's bad | I've been wanting to play this game for a long time. I've finally built a system that will run it well and I've got the time to play now. I received my copy yesterday, got it installed and patched, and each time I load the game it tells me it detects CD/DVD emulation software. No biggie... I figured it must be detecting my Nero Ultra, so I disabled it. Still can't get into the game. Maxis recommends uninstalling Nero. Ok, sure uninstall a program I used almost daily. Well I tried it and the game still tells me it detects emulation software. Unless my installation of Unreal Tournament 2004, World of Warcraft, or Photoshop CS is consider dvd emulation software, then I don't have any.So I wonder if I can get my $45 back now that I opened the game? What a ripoff. | 11 | [

1 | Not funny | Terrible, terrible, terrible movie. I thought this movie would be a funny blaxploitation satire. I didn't find anything about it that made me laugh. I didn't even mind the bad acting which is what I expected (the movie was made with an extremely low budget). I'm surprised Tommy Davidson and Arsenio Hall (both fine comic actors) agreed to appear in this movie. It must have been out of charity. There were two Mr. Big's. This first Mr. Big popped up and then quickly disappered with no explanation and then the second Mr. Big (Richard Nixon) popped up later. Michael Jai White's comic timing is way off. If you want to see a good blaxploitation satire you're better off watching I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Don't waste you money on this one. | 11 | [

1 | Horrible release of a wonderful movie | Let's get one thing clear: I love Ghost in the Shell. I have everything ever released on DVD. As far as Cyberpunk goes, this is it. Plain and simple.Let's talk about what's wrong with GITS: 2.0They took the 2008 Japanese Bluray and ran a blur filter over it. Want your DVD to look the same? Turn the sharpness down to about 20%. Ta-da!Added in new 3d animation that looks like something from a Playstation One or 2 at best. Low rez, crap quality that has artifacting and residue. We're talking Youtube video quality. I'm not impressed. Going from one type of animation type to another in mid movie is really painful.On top of all that, deciding to change entire color pallets, substituting Amber for Green. Ya that's great. Thanks.This is worse than what Lucas did to Star Wars. Far worse.It's crap.I am very disappointed. | 14 | [

1 | Oh, give me a break! | Bluegrass??? Collin Raye and Ronnie Milsap? Stonewall Jackson and Charlie Louvin? Sonya Isaacs? Robbie Fulks?? Uh, I don't think so. Well, aside from the cheesy opportunism of Disney trying to latch onto the "O Brother Where Art Thou" bandwagon, I guess this is an okay album. A lot of the more modern, crappy soundtrack themes ("You'll Be In My Heart," "Circle Of Life," etc.) are included, and an near-equal amount of oldies ("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," et al) and while there are a couple of instrumentals (giving slight plausibility to the "bluegrass" claim), for the most part this is a fairly twangless album. I was happy to see the squeeky-voiced hillbilly filly Elizabeth Cook on here, even though her track doesn�t highlight her strengths that well. Mostly this is pretty iffy. One thing this most definitely is not: a bluegrass record. For that, try some old Stanley Brothers, or something new by Del McCoury or James King. | 13 | [

1 | Macadamia nuts! No way. | In doing a search for a macadamia nut cracker this one showed up. Macs are a notoriously hard nut to crack. This item seems like it should work however it is totally insufficient for the task. First there is not enough leverage. While I could crack the nuts with a lot of effort, my wife could not. Second the adjustment barrel sticks making adjustments for different sized nuts very difficult. Third about have the nuts are totally crushed because of the force it takes to crack the nut. Once it cracks there is no control. A longer handle may help, but not sure the rest of the cracker could stand the stress. It is poorly constructed, a lot of loose play in the handle, piston, and adjustment screw. If you are cracking something like walnuts or pecans, which are easier to crack, it might work. For macadamia nuts? NUTS! | 13 | [

2 | Nice Disco/House Compilation | Here is one of my favorite CD's from the sm:)e label. Known for house, hardhouse and techno, this label brings many facets of house to the public for consumption. This title although generic at first glance is a fine addition to any house collection. The only reason this doesn't get five stars is because of the mixing style of the DJ (who by the way is not listed anywhere on the CD). Some of the mixing (or lack of mixing) brings this down a notch on my list. The choice of music is very good. The cd starts of furious with some real funky Disco. By cut 4 the house kicks in and goes along o.k.. The two highlights for me are cuts 11 & 12 "Orbit" and "Disco Cubism." Fortunatly the DJ decided to mix these two beats together the way it's supposed to be done. Title 7 "Live @ the CBGB" is the only one I may occasionally skip when listening to this cd. Otherwise this is some seriously good Disco/House and should be sampled at least once to see what its like. | 12 | [

2 | This is a "fantabulous" book | This book provides a lot of information about ancient Egypt. For example, I learned how ancient Egyptians lived and what they did in their everyday life. The book has a solid chapter about ancient Egyptian art. I was surprised at how many different types of art there were. Ancient Egyptians painted, weaved and made pots, statues and jars out of clay. They also made jewelry and large pots out of gold. I also learned about their burial chambers in the pyramids. They put paintings and all of their belongings in the tombs for use in their after lives. The pyramids are made of big stone blocks. Workers would move the heavy stone blocks into the shape of a pyramid. The book describes how the ancient Egyptians also built large ships and small canoes to go down the Nile River. This book is an interesting introduction to ancient Egypt. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about ancient Egypt and the pyramids. | 13 | [
