Gorgeous shoes, high heel!
I highly recommend ordering a size up if you're a half-size! I'm an 8.5, and I ended up ordering a 9, which fit me pretty well. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase: the shoes are gorgeous, feminine, and not too difficult to walk in. I ordered them in baby pink, and it's a lovely color. The satin finish is a nice touch as well. The cons are that the heel is very high (approx. 4.5 inches), and you will probably be in pain after a couple of hours. Or hunched over. Or doing that half-walk, half-hop you do when you blister the backs of your feet and don't have any lotion. Buyer beware! These are not for all-night dancing. If you elect to torture yourself in this manner, be sure to stock up on baby oil, or you will simply be unable to wear these for months at a time. I don't wear these often, but I do like them. Four stars!

Don't bother
This is the third Victoria Alexander book I've tried to read, and by now I should have realized that buying one of her books would be a waste of my time and money. I keep trying to be optimistic about her, but this book finally sealed the deal. No more Victoria Alexander for me. All her books are so formulaic and cookie cutter. It seems I've read all these words before. I could barely make it to the midway point. Her male protagonist, Marcus Holcroft, is a dull bore. There's nothing exciting even lurking in his past. Gwendolyn Townsend, our female protagonist, is slightly more interesting. But, the plot just didn't keep my attention. And, most importantly, Ms. Alexander needs to take a college course on how to write dialogue. Very ho-hum. The main characters might have kept my interest more if they had some snappy dialogue. All in all, very disappointing. Don't bother spending the money.

A winning formula, wrong book
The Beach was a good book. Why? Because it combined travelling with adventure in a way that many guide books do not. I snapped up a copy of The Tesseract hoping to travel through the Philippines without actually going there and be persuaded that I should. I read this book three months ago and cannot remember anything about it, other than it was set in the Philippines. If you want a suspense thriller with travel, buy Le Carre. If you want travel pure and simple, buy that guide book. If you want to waste your money, try Las Vegas. Don't buy this. Mr Garland should takle several leaves from Mr Grisham: develop the winning formula first, then repeat it. And then repeat it. My advice for a third novel: Call it "The Boat" set it in Indonesia, have a lead character that keeps Leonardo Dicapprio in work and give the twenty-something something to think about.

Not decked - flogged! The dead horse.
This is Carol Higgins Clark's first book. A friend gave me the book and I paid too much for it. I can't say this is the worst book I have ever read, but it is close. As an author, Carol Higgins Clark has fallen far from the tree. Her mother, Mary Higgins Clark is known as the Queen of Suspense. Carol isn't the Princess nor close to being the heir apparent.Regan Reilly is a private detective in England for the tenth reunion of her class. The body of one of her classmates, who all thought had run away prior to graduation, is discovered near a professor's home. Regan is able to put pieces of the crime together while accompanying an elderly woman on a cruise to New York City.Higgins Clark relies on cliched characters and situations. Despite the vapidness of this book, I will try another of the series to see if Carol Higgins Clark's writing matures. And, yes, I'm still talking to the friend her gave me the book. Turns out she had very similar feelings about it.

not her best but better than other's best
I like Gaelen Foley. I have read the four by her with the Knight family and loved them. And, let's face it, when you like a particular author you read whatever they have. So I read Pirate Prince for that reason. I usually declare a book remarkable when I can name at least two lines and two scenes that really got me. I can't for this one but I give it a high mark because I would recommend it to others. I wish we had gotten to know Lazar as the pirate. I couldn't help feeling like the book should have started with him on the ship or in a pow wow with the other captains to let us like him a little more. I felt like I pitied Lazar before I began to like him. He was an excellent tortured hero though. Everything else was right on par for a Foley book. I literally would read anything by her. So I am of to be with Darius in Princess!

Another Masterpeice! THANKS NIN!
Don't hesitate, buy it! You wont be dissapointed. They spared no expense in quality. I recomend the dts because of the better sound, but you will need the decoder. How ever in the dolby5.1 version you can use the multiple camera angle view in real-time and the dts you have to select the different angle straight from the main menu and can't switch back during playback. This is due to the lack of compromise in quality. There are about 100+ still photos on the second disk and some hidden fun as well. Even if you only kinda like NIN, buy it. It was such a great show and they captured that live energy and put it on DVD. I get riled up every time I see it.On a side note. If you were at the gorge in George WA, there is some great live footage as well as some stills. And on the dts one of the songs was shot entirly at the gorge. VERY COOL! I can see myself from here.

Helen Keller Inspiring
As a child I was unable to read a chapter book until I was in the forth grade. I have dislexia though I have learned some stratigies for overcoming it. I still have the copy my teacher gave to me copy righted 1969. This book inspired me and it was because of this book that I owe so much. After reading this book in elementary school I began reading more books about Helen Keller as well as other Famous Americans who for their time as children were considered "dumb or dunces". It was this book that opened doors for me that had been closed. I am now an avid reader as well as an educatior of young children with special needs. I am now 34 years old. It is my hope that this book will continue to inspire childre for a very long time. As a companion to this book you may want to consider Dear Dr. Bell...Your friend, Helen Keller by Judith St. George.(a book of friendship and love between the two of them.)

Only five pounds. Finally a vacuum I can carry!
I love this vacuum. It's lightweight and powerful. Although it cannot replace an upright or a canister, it makes vacuuming everything I used to do with clumsy attachments a breeze. The cord is LONG, and I can get everything from floor to ceiling with the set of lightweight attachments included. I also like the vacuum bag. No more emptying a dirty canister. I'm going 100% Oreck. Next I am buying the upright. After going through four bagless vacuums that weigh too much for me to carry up and down stairs, I'll be using Oreck's six-pound upright. I tried it at a friend's house. It was fantastic! I'll never go back to the other brands.

Well, at least it's not on VHS
Film gets a 4. DVD gets a 1.I own over 100 DVDs. This is far and away the worst DVD I own. It is worse than the original "A Christmas Story" DVD.Universal has released the worst DVD of the year for, sadly, one of the best 70s/cold-war flicks. The best thing I can say about this DVD is that the film is not on VHS.For starters, they didn't get the title right- Colossus: "The Forbin" project. OK, whatever. This attention to detail is representative of the entire DVD.Menu? Nope. You get chapters- amazingly enough- but I'd bet they were just generated by the mastering software. I can't say for certain though because there are no scene selections- because there's no menu. Load it in, and the DVD plays.The DVD has a screen that reads "formatted to fit your TV" which means they don't know about widescreen TVs yet. Thankfully, the opening credits are widescreen so you can read them. The rest of the film is pan and scan. The video transfer is lousy too- moire patterns abound.

Disappointed
That was the reaction when gift was opened. I paid over $12 for the set, not counting the $6 for shipping. When I saw the set I tried to return it. I had to pay for shipping, HOWEVER, it was going to cost me over $12 JUST FOR RETURN SHIPPING COST. When I advised I had originally paid $6 for shipping why was it more than doubled to return shipping cost. I was told that sellers usually had set cost with whoever ships for them. But I had no choice. So I had to reluctantly keep the set. DISAPPOINTED was the look of recipient. Was suppose to be for 6yrs and up, not at all. Was quality of cheaper toy. Not as described. Some items cannot be returned. I would have had to pay MORE than I paid when I bought it. Lesson learned some of these descriptions are not quite honest. Will be more selective with sellers. I lesson that cost me over $18.

Worth Buying!
I am a wrestling fan and I have been since the 1980s. The I Walk Alone dvd was full of great matches. I am not really into anyone's back story, but I understand that if you buy the dvd, you are going to get some of it.Batista has really been involved in some great matches. I also liked the set because it showed his ups and downs. Most dvds just focus on the good stuff. Everyone has lost a match a time or two. All in all this was a great purchase. I got it during the "Wrestlemania 26" period . Most of the WWE dvds were on sale. I bought this for $17.99. It retails at Best Buy for $29.99. If you like Batista, you'll like I Walk Alone.

Only large doeses of Prozac
could make you like this deplorable screeching. Has the general population become so devoid of intelligence that they can't recoginze COMPLETE GARBAGE anymore?!!? Anyone who enjoys this music must be on powerful mental drugs, or they are just mindless cattle following the others who say they like this trash. They couldn't even get the lyrics correct for Comfortably Numb! Morons! Whoever signed this band should be fired and blacklisted from the music industry. Pink Floyd should sue the band into oblivion. If this talentless bunch can get a record contract, then so can everyone else! Where do I sign up? I wanna grab myself and yell about how I hate squaking faries. That should get me a record deal! (not that I do, I'm just stating this to make a point) This band makes the BeeGees look like the Beatles.

Better than the last
Well here I am again and all I can do is tip my hat to the men and women who created the awsome series. As much as I loved Ace Combat 5 I found myself back in the grips of a addictive game. The one thing I missed in the new installment was the soundtrack. Ace Combat 5 gave us a great song to jam to. Blurry was an awsome addition to the game and I felt a little let down that there was not another theme song to push the envelope in ZERO. Other than that the game is flawless. The planes. The Action. And the Setups just go on to prove the ELITE status of the people at Namco Games. Keep em comming. I need more and I need it now !!!

I bought a purrforma JUMBoO MESS
I also did not read any reviews.... What a mess! after having successfully used littermaids (have 2) I added this expensive JOKE!!!!Thought it might be better!????!!! SMELLS!!! Does not clean out after each use as well as the littermaid. Littermaid never smelled. I even added a litter mail charcoal filter on top of the petmaid one. ( stuck it to top of litter tray.) I have to use a scoop to clean this. What a waste of $$$$$$. The newer model littermaids are good. I would never buy this brand again.

Great but bulky
The photo makes it look slim and more portable. Actual product is a lot more bulky. But it is just a pen, so I'm not too picky about it.It says it has "smear guard" but depending on what kind of paper you're using this on, I would still wait a few seconds before touching it. It does smear on my semi-glossy textbook pages, if I try touching it immediately after I use it. So, use common sense. That said, the markings did dry VERY QUICKLY, and even though it was not 100% smear proof, a light "dab" of the finger would not have created disaster on your page.It glides very easily across the page, very smooth. I liked it a lot. However, again, the types of paper will effect it. Overall, it's a great product!So long as you don't press down too hard, it doesn't seem to bleed through the pages very much.Now, the picture shown on my computer shows much brighter colors. The actual product I received seemed to have much darker colors, almost marker-like. FYI.

Where THE philosophy begins!
You are a common person... thinking about things... walking on earth... reading some philosophy and so on...One day you think:1. What is philosophy? What is the specific object of that human science?2. There is so many theories, so many thinkers... who is wrong, who is not?3. Is there any theory of phylosophy? A philosophy of philosophy (or: a metaphilosophy)?And one day you read Hegel's Phenomenology (it is not SO hard to understand!), but the answers for those questions are there. And if you understand this book, then you will need the Science of Logic.PS. Plato is Hegel's master here. Do you know the "Parmenides"? This is the main key!!

DIVIMAX VERSION IS AWESOME - DON'T MISS IT!
This film is a classic, nuff said. I have the original Anchor Bay 5.1 Dolby version from years back, awesome edition. This Divimax version is even better! Print is beauuutifullll and 5.1 mix is great. Don't listen to other reviews stating 'too much blue', 'not enough blue', etc, etc, etc. This is the theatrical version without the added scenes for the TV release(thank God!). If you're a fan and on the fence about spending your $ on this, don't be. Buy it now! Extras are great also, though they aren't as important to me as the film. I own a few Divimax editions and all of them are terrific. I only wish there was a DTS track. If you love 'Halloween' and have a higher-end setup, this is the disc to have. Viewing nirvana. Now if they would only release a Divimax of "The Fog".

Another Glowing Review
I decided to buy this scratcher after I read the reviews here at Amazon. I picked it up from my local PetSmart, and boy, it sure does work! I put a little bit of the included catnip on it, and my kitty jumped on the scratcher like, well . . . like a cat that's smelled catnip. I've had it a few weeks now, haven't added any catnip since that first day, and she still loves scratching. I think she's clawing the sofa and bed less, but I'm not sure, since she can be very sneaky and could be doing it when I'm away. However, when I am home, I just pat the cosmic cardboard scratcher, and she pounces on it and picks on it like a good cat. In other words, I give it two thumbs up, and my cat I'm sure would give it two paws up as well. Oh, and one more thing, I think I will buy the refills, but it seems like the current set of cardboard will last at least a few months, but like I said, I just recently bought this and can't say for sure. Hope this helps.

Do NOT buy this book!
Run away from this book!If you have no other way to study for the CBEST, then I would recommend borrowing this from the library ONLY. There were incorrect answers in each of the three math sections, all very obvious. Several "answers" didn't even have anything to do with the question!Example: #9 on page 229:If 2/3 is divided by 8/11, the quotient will lie between which TWO numbers?a.) 3.39b.) 3.25c.) 3.11d.) 2.97e.) 2.83Ummm... so I check in the back, clearly thinking I'm missing something. It says the answer is B. 2/3 divided by 8/11 = .916, which lies between .91 and .92.The English portion of this is also filled with mistakes. Number 32 on page 23 has letter C being "Satisfaction." In the back, it states that the answer is C, "Pensive." Not only do these not match, but neither of these is actually the correct answer!!DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK...

Sharon Creech's Worst Book
This is definitely not Sharon Creech's best work. The plot jumps around alot, and takes some really big leaps into fantasy land. This girls parents actually let her spend weeks camping in unknown countryside, by herself, without ANY adult supervision at all, Just because she feels she NEEDS to. Would your parents let YOU do this? Talk about "Oh my god I have a hangnail, so now I have to climb Everest." I am normally a big fan of Sharon Creech's Books, but this one kept getting worse. I liked the story about Rose (her cousin) and Aunt Jessie, but she elaborated on it so much that, by the end of the book, it had cycled down into something completely unreal. This book also lacked Sharon Creech's usual humourous touches. O.k., her siblings, Ha HA, but really they just don't cut it. For anyone who is contemplating buying this book, don't. Go out and get Walk Two Moons or Absolutely Normal Chaos, buy something good for a change.

Serenity now...
Great movie. I'd never seen the series but didn't need to in order to enjoy this movie. In the days of remakes and stupid movies it was nice to find an intelligent but down to earth movie. This one actually seemed to have been written by someone who knew how to write. I'm so sick of 80's remakes of what were already bad movies or series. They just seem to have run out of ideas haven't they? This one was fun and original. I have a soft spot for westerns as they're the real action movies I grew up with. This movie had great dialogue and good and sometimes strong acting. Considering the budget (I read somewhere it wss made quick and underfunded) I was pretty impressed with the finished product. Can't imagine what they would have done if they'd had a big budget. I rented this on netflix and liked it so much I bought it. That tell you anything?

Pop Princess!
OK. First let me tell you, I really like Britney's music! I have this CD, and well, I thought that the other CD was better, but now I'm getting used to this one. None of the songs are as good as Hit me Baby One More Time, but some are nice. Opps...I Did It Again, I got used to, and I actually like it. The only thing bad about this Cd, though, is that she took 2 songs from famous singers, and that ruined her image to me, a bit. But I think she sings them well. They are: I can't Get No Satisfaction, and Don't Let me be the last to know. By The Rolling Stones, Shania Twain. But, in this CD Britney actually writes her own song! It's not that great, but it's a start. Dear Diary is the name of that song. If you like female singers, and Britney's old Cd, then you'll like (or get used) to this one. SO try it out, and you actually might like it!

I'd Rather Smell An Old Crotch
My My My, It's finally come to this. How can a person who basically looks like he has down syndrome, think he has talent? other than that to william i will say stick to engineering, but get some street smarts, not book smarts, then you would see what kind of ridiculous nonsense you have walked into. Besides that an Asian singing Bailamos? Isnt that spanish for "we dance." all i have to say is lets keep it spanish. I can't believe hwo freakin dumb people are to want this. I mean i heard it on AOL and laughed until i peed. It was dreadful and i can't believe anyone could want to hear this piece of flynt. I'd rather just go and play some Milli Vanilli, at least it sounded good. Well enough complaining, if you like garbage, you'll love this trash. anyways, as my sister says, That Guy from the American Idol is just wrong...WRONG!

Terrible
What a boring and dark film!! We watched it because of all the hype about this movie from media. What a waste of talent and film!! What tries to be a moving story turns out to be a disappointment. Actually, it wasn't all that disappointed as we were not anticipating anything out of the film to begin with. What we did learn was that there was a lot of homosexual overtones to each of the characters. I didn't have a problem with how the movie cut back and forth to each of the 3 characters, however, the stories were very unattractive. It made you want to slap each of them and say "Snap out of it!! Grow up and be glad you are alive!" Seriously, each of these characters brooded over everything. Kidman's character was the worst. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this terrible movie. This movie and "American Beauty" are in the same boat. Let's hope it sinks and goes straight to the bottom!!

Great Camera to Drop in Your Pocket
I got this camera to replace an Olympus C4000 that was too slow focusing and bulky for my needs (shooting my toddler). I have had it for about 9 months now and still think its great. One reason I bought it was the price (under $200) and the reviews I saw on the web (like dpreview.com). It is small enough to go in your pocket. It can be used in the rain without fear of damage. The fireworks shots I took , a couple can be seen in the user images for this camera, where unexpectedly good and done HANDHELD without a tripod using the fireworks program! There are a couple of cons, but minor and are to be expected for a camera of this type, ie. weak indoor flash (fix with software), sometimes takes long in low light to focus, no lens protection. But in all, would buy and recommend again. Make sure you invest in NiMH batteries and a charger and you will be all set! Happy shooting!

best floyd album
this is a great album, many people think this album is not a "pink floyd" album, just because it isnt like dsotm,wywh,and animals. this album is much like the wall. it is a different sound. it does not sound like it is a floyd album, but if you listen to the early stuff, then listen to, oh say wywh, you might say, they dont sound the same, music wise. just like this album sounds different from that favored floyd sound. the best songs on this album are the post war dream, your possible pasts, the hero's return, the gunner's dream, paranoid eyes, the fletcher memorial home, the final cut, not now jhon, and two suns in the sunset. that is just about every song on the album! . but if you are a new floyd fan do not buy this album. you probably will not like it. so if your new get either the darkside of the moon, wish you were here, animals, the wall, or the division bell. get some of those, then get the final cut. then you will be totally in love with pink floyd

Great camera with large viewscreen...what's not to love?
I already own this camera (I bought it when it first came out) and I bought this one for my parents. I own a digital SLR for serious photos but I use this camera for my fun photos...on vacation, at parties, etc. It's small enough to take with you everywhere and capture those candid moments. The auto-focus and flash both work well. My pictures come out clear and colorful. Even the video is not bad considering the format. The best part of the camera is the large view-screen. It's a thing of beauty. I don't know why Canon didn't continue this size of view-screen with later models. They offer bigger picture sizes (in this size, who needs more than 7 Mb?) and more controls. With this size camera, you don't want to be messing with too many settings. I'll take a larger screen over more buttons any day! This is a great product.

The Time Traveler's Wife
My brother recommended this book to me and his suggestions are usually quite good. I picked this up as a book on CD since I spend a bit of considerable time in my car commuting. I was hooked from the first chapter. Another review wrote how they could not hang on long enough to find a sympthy for the main charater Henry, too bad. Henry does grow on you. Claire grows on you. Soon I found myself sitting in parking lots, or driveways or garages just listening to their story unfold. While it is a bit unnerving the way Henry jumps from time to time, you will learn the insights behind his relationship with wife. It is touching when he visits her as a young girl, a young woman, and as his wife. You will cry with them as they suffer from horrible circumstances in life, and laugh and cheer when they over come others. Take the time to read (or listen) to this wonderful book. (I actually bought it as a gift for someone, it was that good!)

Coda
I am a really big Zep fan. I really fell in love with this album. The song We'er gonna Groove is great. I dont know why this was not on one of there albums. It is a shame that this is the only cd. I can find it on. I Cant Quit you was great as well. I have heard around 11 versins of this song and well, this is the best. It was really just a sound check that they were doing before there concert. This is a great album and is a lot of fun to listen to. Jimmy Page was not on the top of his game when some of the stuff was recorded,, but give him a break,, he is the best even when he is not on. Jimmy Page is in my opinon, one of the top 10 guitar players in rock history. I know you will love this. PS. Please by all the Led Zeppelin records that you can, because Maria Carry has sold just a few million records more than Zeppelin. I hate that. It just goes to show you that people dont know where it is at any more. Give It Back to rock and roll!

Busy Little Beavers!
Lars Klinting has written quite a few books about these two busy beavers. In Sweden they are named Harvey and Chip. In the U.S. translations, they are named Bruno and Felix. These books have been translated into more than 15 languages. "Bruno the Baker" is in our 2nd Grade Reading Book. The kids just love this little story. We make the cake and they really enjoy the whole activity from start to finish. I can't imagine why these Harvey or Bruno books are not more well known. My first exposure to them was in our Reader. I highly recommend these little easy readers. The beavers are so endearing. They complete a project in each book - a great educational angle to writing a children's book. Mr. Klinting also does the illustrations and they are really great! I hope he will continue to write more of these books. I love each of the books I have purchased about these little beavers.

BEAUTIFUL AND ENTHRALLING MUSIC!
Five Stars!! I have not heard this CD but I ran across an hour long performance by Ms Teng on PBS. Just her and her awesome piano and it stopped me in the middle of a Sunday night football game. (Thank God for PIP). She sang most of the songs on the CD before an appreciative audience. She reminds me of Laura Nyro and Essra Mohawk, which is a huge compliment in my musical universe.Her music is very personal, bewitching, and immediate, backed by the enthralling colorations of her piano orchestrations. On the TV special, she tells the very interesting stories behind each song. I consider her to be a major musical find and I will follow her career. My favorite songs of hers are the spellbinding "Harbor" and the stunning "Passage". Bravo, Vienna. Five Stars.

Performed poorly on mitered 3/4" plywood joints
I've used Elmer's Carpenters Wood Glue for years, but recently I bought some of the Titebond to give it a try. I'm building a shelving unit out of 3/4" birch plywood with 12" shelves, mitered at each corner.I started out using the Titebond. After gluing a number of miters together I realized I made a mistake and had to take several corners apart. Kind of frustrated, I just pushed in on the boards, and they came right apart. I really didn't think they were held together stongly enough. So, I switched back to Elmers. And, I did an experiment. I waited 24 hours after gluing a joint with Elmers, just like I had with Titebond, and tried the same thing. I couldn't break the joint apart. I didn't try with all my strength, just the same amount I had used on the Titebond joint, and more. But, the joint held. So, I'm convinced the Elmer's is better for gluing mitered plywood joints.

Chuck Freadhoff "An emerging author"
This is a well told tale. The author is writing from his stregnths. His main character, Johnny Rose, is a reporter in LA. Mr. Freadhoff himself is a reporter and living in LA. The tale deals with LA street kids and a couple of foundations that help them. Mr. Freadhoff has, for many years, volunteered at just such an organization. He has woven a suspensful,intricate and believable plot by using his detailed knowledge in these areas. The characters are well developed, the action is non-stop and the plot has a unique twist. "A Permanent Twilight" is throughly enjoyable reading. I look forward to Johnny Rose's next adventure. Johnny got "lucky" in this episode and here's here's hoping he will in the future.

Awful Experience
After suffering a day with what I thought was a yeast infection, I went to purchase Monistat. I was relieved when I saw this product because is said "1 Day". Knowing the misery of the itching and burning of a yeast infection, I quickly made the $ 20.00 plus purchase. Even though it said to use day or night, I waited until night time. I woke up several times during the night with extreme burining and itching - much worse than the initial yeast infection. It is now mid day and I am completely devestated. The pain is almost umbearable. I showered to try to get relief and am still in pain. I sent my husband to the store for the 7-day treatment. I can't go myself because of the burning and itching. I will never use this product again and highly feel it should be discontinued. I am very tolerable of pain, but this one is awful. NEVER, NEVER, AGAIN.

Faulty Labyrinth=toy was inoperable- returned for credit
Will never order from Amazon. Com agaain. Sent two duplicates- tried to cancel on phone-told would do. Both boxes arrived same day- after Christmas I might add. Returned duplicate for credit at my expense for UPS return! I did get acknowledment of reciept of return and cred. Gave other toy as gift. When package opened - game would not function- some sort of spring off inside of box. Returned this toy for credit- again at my expense. So far have not gotten credit for this return. What good is it to order from you people-when you mess up the order, give false information over the phone- and have to pay an extra $16.00 for return postage.

a great deal
I was looking for a cheap trimmer for my beard, which I usually keep pretty short. I bought this without seeing it in a store. I think I had seen that it had good reviews here, and it was under thirty bucks, which I figured was a good limit for something that is only going to last so long. I didn't need anything fancy. I got exactly what I was looking for, but I'm surprised how well it works. There aren't any parts that seem like they'll fall apart, and it's got a great feel in the hand. I like the action on it a lot. My first trim was immediately better and much quicker then the previous trimmer I had (which had died on me). I think this is a great deal for someone who needs an occasional shave of a beard. I really like it. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done very well. I can't think of how it would be better.

Horrible product
I didn't purchase mine through amazon, I purchased it at wal mart about 9 months ago. I have a V8 mustang and it would not jump start it. When I brought it home from the store I fully charged it per the directions. I never once jumped a car from it because it failed every time. So I just used it to pump up tires then, awful expensive tire inflator, but that stopped working about a month after using it. Even when I did inflate tires, it took about 20 minutes to put about 10lbs of pressure into a car tire. I would have gladly taken it back to walmart but I didn't have my receipt. I would never recommend buying this product as it is the most cheaply made jump box I have ever used and has totally turned me off on buying any black and decker products ever. Now I don't even know how to dispose of it as I don't want to just throw it away as it has batteries in it. The worst $100 I have ever spent!! Do not buy!!!

Why, oh why, did I waste my money on this?
I wish I'd bought the Bradygames book first. This book was totally inaccurate; it was obviously based on the Japanese game. Sell it in Japan, then, because we don't need it here. What few maps there were were terrible, and there was no real walkthrough. He just told you what to do in each zone, and they weren't even in any discernible order! There were no special item lists whatsoever, or much help on where to find them (not that that would have helped, since he gave all the wrong names for the items). I liked how he described one set of dialogue as "Richter's girlfriend says something that sounds important." Obviously, he never played the American version. A picture is worth a thousand words, and there were so painfully few pictures that it became a chore to look up something in the strategy guide. That makes this book almost totally worthless. Zero stars.

Beware of stolen Kindles!
I got my Kindle 1 for my birthday last year and loved it. However, I accidentally left it on a plane and foolishly had no contact info stamped on the outside of it. The worst part is that Amazon has absolutely NO support for stolen Kindles. They will deregister it for you, however that just gives the thief an open door to re-register - free Kindle for them! I entered a dummy credit card number for 1-click immediately and have since gotten emails that the credit card for the books "I'm" trying to buy has been denied. So I know that a thief has it. I have emailed my info to the Kindle so hopefully the thief will read it and return it. It's unconscionable that Amazon has no system in place for assisting with stolen Kindles. They clearly just want you to shell out another $359. It's a great device, but make sure to put your contact info all over it. I'd like to think that there are honest people in the world who would return it should you ever lose it.

Terrible to assemble
After my husband and I put this together using the TERRIBLE directions, we've been using this as a free-standing bassinet for the past 5 months (not attached to the bed, as some people do). My daughter has been sleeping in it just fine. However, we attempted to fold it up to take it with us on a weekend away from home recently. What a nightmare to collapse! Again, the directions are of absolutely no help. It was impossible to get the whole thing into the carrying case and get it zipped up. Also, this thing weighs a ton. I now realize I need to buy something else to use when travelling. How annoying. Bottom line: if you're going to set this up and never take it down, it's fine (once you initially get it put together, that is). However, if you think you'd like to use this on an occasional overnight trip away from home, forget it!

This is a good movie
This is the best comedy ever! And what scares me, is that it is probably very realistic. Fiction can never outdo reality!!! Thats the genius of this film. If you like sick sick sick comedy, you`ll just love this movie.Just notice this.. The plot is serious and it is possible to believe it. Its the stupidity of the carachters and the entire world-political system that makes me smile.Imagine this. Both the presidents in the movie can destroy the whole world. But they only have a bad phone line to communicate with to each other.. Hehe...And of course, we have the "ragnarok" expert Dr. Strangelove. An imported German scientist, that of course is raving mad, and has the right solutions for the situation that occures at the end of the movie.I challenge you all: Is there any better way to deal with a worldwide nuclear catastrophy then the solutions Dr. Strangelove got????But remember, if you`re wong, you got to answer to the coca-cola company!!!

Terrific Knife Set
Really enjoying this knife set. The selection and sizes of knifes are good for home cooking. Have owned these for about 8 weeks now and they knives seem to be holding there sharpness well. I particularly like the Santuko knives and use those the most. And I found cleanup of the knives to be simple and easy. They fit well in my hand and feel very comfortable. They also seem well made and high quality.While I'm not a chef myself a couple people I work with are and they showed me a bunch of different manufacturers knives. They told me they rather liked the Calphalon knives and suggested I check them out. I bought the 7" Santuko by itself prior to buying the set. I liked it so much that I decided to invest into a set. No regrets at all. A set of knives like this will last me for many years to come.

BEST T*WITCHES BOOK EVER!!---100 stars!
The T*Witches books are great but this one is my favorite! Cam's best friend Beth has a secret and she's not planning on telling anyone. Her dad also can't make it to her birthday-again. Cam and Alex are also trying to find their mother. Then Cam starts getting notes. BAD notes. They say that a girl is in trouble and the twins think that it's about their mother. Ileana finally finds out who her father is. Ileana also finds out who Brice Stanly really is. When the girls find out what Beth's secret is, she goes to get help (for the problem). But, she meets a woman with gay eyes,and the color of Cam's (and Alex's-naturally)hair. Who knows, maybe this will be their mother that they have been dying to see; or will it be someone who just looks like them...

Frustrating product
Slow. I can't use this as a 1TB drive because I can't transfer that quantity of data, it starts slow and slows with time. I purchased this to move a TB of data from one system to another. After a lot of time and hassle it simply did not work. When transfer dropped to below 1mbit, I gave up. I tried plugging into one switch, another switch, tried the USB port.On the plus side the media server works at least nominally. I suppose this product would work ok with small nightly backups or light media server work.A lot of people claim network bottlenecks but I finally spent more money for a Thecus 5200n. Excellent, great speed. Did in under a day what this thing failed to do in a week+.Lot of frustration and waste of time for me. Almost converted to a doorstop. I'll try it as a media server at home I suppose.

Cool CD
Ive always liked "Need A Boss" and "Cry No More" but after those tracks came out I forgot about her. Then I heard her "Diamond Girl" remix (go to her myspace) and thought -- oh yeah Shareefa! What happened?Got the CD and Im feeling it. I personally love Shareefa's voice because it is gritty and she sings so powerfully. Or rather she sings with emotion. But if youre into "Hip Hop Soul" -- you know artists like Sunshine Anderson, Alicia Keys (from her first album), Keyshia Cole and people like that -- well you would appreciate this album. You have to be an R&B; head for real.Tracks I like:1. Need A Boss2. Cry No More3. Phony4. Fevah (He Dont Know)5. AssumptionsNo One Said and Butterfly are decent too.This album could be better, but it isnt garbage. If its on sale, which is probably is considering that Im writing this in 2008, then definitely get it! But I definitely cant wait until her new album.

A very good all around cd player
I bought this for my twelve year old daughter and it is great. It survived being at the bottom of her backpack. You can bring it to the pool and anywhere else that you want to. It does not skip very much. It is strong and it is worth your money. It also has great headphones that are not heard by other people. Sony makes the best Sport Discman. This is the best discman that you can get because it is high quality. You will love it. It is for everyone. It is also a very pretty color so it is attractive yet useful. It is the only discman that you will have to buy in your life.

Top Heavy Fun
Alright, I am a long loving Transformers fan. I grey up with them in fact. Now first off the pros. Nicely posible and I like the missles that shoot out of his hand, kinda like a gun. plus it is COOL to have the 2nd largest TF toy ever. He just looks cool and how he lights up and stuff. the negatives - transforming is TOO simple - for [the money] I want a challenge like Optimal Optimus. Another thing, his legs are TOO long to hold up his body, his TOP heavy body. I've only gotten him to stand up as a robot once, which was soon knocked down when my friend blew on it and laughed. one thing that gets anoying is the little arm things popping off and the front chest panel because they are flimsy. Still a great toy, but they should've choosen a diffrent figure to make the large one. Mega cheetor is hard enough to stand.

So the mummy returns?...did we need him to?
I enjoyed THE MUMMY, but before going to see this one I somehow knew it wasn't going to be good. Well, I was right. If you are looking for a movie that will showcase the latest in CGI technology, by all means see it. Just don't look for interesting characters or a good story. The first movie was good. It was one of those movies that in the future if it's on during a lazy Sunday, you will watch it. It had that quality about it. The sequel left me wishing for it be over as I sat in the theater.The story becomes borderline ridiculous and the acting, well, they knew their lines at least. It follows a formula. For example, in the first one we had the crazy biplane pilot, now we have a crazy blimp pilot. It seems to me that the legacy of Ancient Egypt could help a writer create some more interesting aspects to this movie. Well, I was wrong.

Great writing, poor story.
Charles Frazier has a true mastery of the English language. He stands far above other contemporary authors in that respect. "Cold Mountain" is his illustration of this talent. The sounds of a perfectly crafted sentence or paragraph can make me smile in this book. However, there is a key element missing, one that caused me to dislike the book overall. Regardless of how beautiful a book is written, if it doesn't have a good story then it fails. I had trouble turning the page. I figured it must get better if it is going to win the National Book Award. I was wrong. It is a poor and extremely predictable story. Never did I feel the love between Inman and Ada, never did I feel any desire to keep reading. I gave it to colleagues that thought I must be crazy because of all they had heard as well. They agree. Wonderful writing, horrible story. It's too bad.

Solid Cozy Grows On You
Janis Harrison's first book (1999) "Roots of Murder" is a typical cozy. Suspects grow like weeds and topics are cast across the pages like so many seeds. That is part of the problem. Though the characters are unique, they rush past you like leaves on a windy day, not always easily identifiable. I spent too much time trying to keep all the characters straight. Once I did have them straight, I thought I knew the murderer just past the midpoint. I was sure of it before the potentially interesting protagonist, Bretta Soloman. She is a recently widowed owner of a florist shop who just lost 100 pounds and can't help branch out into other people's business especially after an Amish friend is murdered. More depth into the copious topics raised and a less hurried pace to character introduction would have helped. For me, it is a three. For lovers of cozies, its real audience, it would harvest four.

People are IDIOTS
First off, I was skepticle of this purchase, just because of what I read here. I bought the older Blu Ray, not the Ultimate Hunter Edition. As far as the picture goes, there is not as much detail as say a new Blu Ray for a movie released this year. I honestly have no complaints about this. I love the film, it gets 5 stars. The Blu Ray is not what people are making it out to be. I read that the people now looked like were made of wax in the film, not at all true. DO NOT believe anything from the negative reviews. Head on over to BluRayreview.com and look up this Blu Ray, they do not complain about things like AMAZON reviewers do. They found the good. Take it from me, a previous skeptic, this is a very decent Blu Ray and I imagine this is the best Predator has looked to date.

Worms?
Other things as well made this very unsavory. Tasteless. No romance. Just sex. And those annoying fingers again. Is the author fixated on finger-play? Same old plot again too. And full of these. Annoying. Short. Sentences that aren't sentences.Terrible. I'd rank it lower if I could.

No Fight Club--Not Even CLose
I have to disagree with the reviewers who applauded this book. Hey, I loved Fight Club. This, however, was a hugh let-down. It read like a book of Fight Club outtakes. The cutsie numbering of chapters and pages backwards was ultimately irritating--reminding me how many pages I still had to slug through. And what was the point? Religious cults are bad? Am I supposed to like the narrator? It's very hard--I don't feel I know him at all. Must the book turn on a character who can unrelentingly predict the future? Is that cool? Funny? Meaningful? Clever?

An excellent c.d.,but alittle on the short side
After 5 years of patiently waiting Weezer has released a new c.d. But is it good? YES! Every single track is freaken awsome, Photograph,Hash Pipe,Island in the Sun, and O'Girlfriend were a few of my favorite tracks. The Green Album to me seems reminisant of The Blue Alblum,the way the songs sound is awfully simulaur. And the single Hash Pipe has it's own sound diffrent than the two albums before it. Even if all the songs kick a**,it still too short,in fact that's the only reason it didn't get 5 stars. It takes 5 years to release a 10 song c.d.? I don't think so. And it's only 28 min. long. But even with it's shortness,even if it isn't as good as Pinkerton, The Green Album is still the perfect treat for any Weezer fan,or anyone who likes good music.

Good but Expensive
Nice functional design, fast heating. A lot to like.Got mine in 2008. Maybe they've fixed some problems since the early reviews were posted. My model number is 677-2 (small 2).Smells & Taste: Haven't noticed.Hot surface: Yes, it's 212 degrees. Has not been an issue.Spout Dribble: Rarely. Maybe 2 drops onto kettle side if it's full.Defects: We have one issue after 2.5 years. The shut-off lever sometimes slips OFF too soon.Durability/warranty seems a little light for a 45+ dollar kettle.** Update 1-11-2011: I replaced this with aHamilton Beach 40870 10 Cup Electric Kettlefrom Costco (19.99). See my review of that kettle ( http://www.amazon.com/review/R1AEZ24PC1PZXS/ ) for a detailed comparison. The Hamilton Beach is very similar, a little less nice, but a much better value. There's also a very similar GE model 169205 (with a 2 year warranty) at Wal-Mart for 29.

Waste of Time and Money
Face it, without the EPHEDRINE it's all a waste of time. I work out 4-6 days per week, eat 2200 cals on avg, I'm a male 6' at 220 and can't lose a pound on this stuff. In fact since the FDA banned harmless Ephedra products, I've gained 50 pounds back - some of it in muscle but mostly fat. I'm 44 now and need something to maintain my failing metabolism. The medical industry won't help, the government bans things they can't make money on while Asian and European countries live in health soley on the herbs we are denied. Am I a little frustrated? - well yes. And yes, Ephedrine is dangerous, but used properly, it's a fine supplement to losing weight. Don't be fooled by the stories of people having heart attacks after taking 6 pills in the morning, go jogging and then die. The directions clearly state to only take two. And don't be fooled by the orange peels in this product that help you lose weight - you won't.

Ugh...
I'm a die-hard Crash fan. I really enjoy every game up until Tag Team Racing. So yeah, everything until Tag Team Racing is good, and Tag Team Racing is decent. But then there's this... Crash Boom Bang. Why in the world did they even come up with this game? The mini-games are incredibly difficult and there is hardly any explanation on how to play each mini-game, there aren't even that many mini-games to begin with! The story is... Awful. The character selection should have been a lot bigger. The new character (and I suppose villain?) sucks. I have this game, and I play it from time to time, but really only because I am a die-hard Crash fan. If you are not a Crash fan, then avoid this game. -Trent Foreman, Author of Nightmare

Anyone Can Whistle
This is a Sondheim flop, and rightfully so. Some voice are ok, the lyrics aren't bad, and the orchestrations can be nice, but overall its just boring. Dull. Unfinished. Another problem with this recording is you need the synopsis to tell you what the heck is going on because none of these really seem to go together. For Sondheim fans I would suggest NOT getting this and saving yourself the depressing bore that he produced here. If your a new listener of Broadway DON'T get this. If you like the transition between new and old Broadway this might be your cup of tea. This CD should only be bought by collectors and older-style fans. (But I'm not sure even they will like it!) Sorry Sondheim, but tow stars is generous for this. Favorite song: "Anyone Can Whistle"

One of the worst children's books I have ever read
This book is completely ridiculous. It will not teach your child anything useful about potty training. The only point that makes is that since people and animals eat, they then poop. What a waste of ink and paper! My two year old daughter understood this point before coming across this book. I would never have purchased this book on my own-- it was unfortunately given to us as a gift. The pictures are downright creepy. My daughter became visibly uncomfortable when looking at the picture of the baby pooping in his diapers. It is not clear whether the baby is crying, happy or in distress. The people and animals in this book are portrayed in a manner which suggests that they are utterly lacking in dignity. If I were a small child learning to use the potty I would feel discouraged and embarrassed after looking at this book.

Hot & Refreshing
Here is a woman that came out of nowhere drop a hit single "Heard it All before" and had you hoping for a pure hit album. Guess what? She didn't like us down. This is a solid debut not since Jill Scott, India.Arie have I heard anything of the same nature. Jill and India take R&B soul to a new status. SUnshine is a promising new leader of the regular R&B comeup. Every song is hot and shows emotions. She is very gifted and talented as a R&B Newcomer of the year for this year so far. Sunshine deserves all the props and believe me she overshadows MJB, just like Jill Scott overshadows Badu. But these ladies defiantly deliver. So stop the hating and the comparisons and enjoy the music. Pick this one up, along with India.Arie. Sunshine is heart and soul. Hot as she is,talented as she is, yo she can be my woman anyday. ONE

Remastered by someone who was tone-deaf!
True Blue is definitive Madonna 1986. When I first heard this album, I decided that Madonna was a true musician, on her way to the top. So somewhere along the line, I lost that 1986 release to an ex-wife or ex-girlfriend.This remastered CD is terrible! You know those idiots who drive by your house with the thump! thump! thump! issuing from their rolled-up windows? The people that they put up Noise Ordinance signs for? Well, that same tone-deaf moron remastered a beautiful album. The vocals (and hence the lyrics) are buried beneath an over-powered 120dB bass and a hisssssing 100 dB percussion.After buying this remastered garbage, I couldn't wait to go an buy a used copy of the original. My recommendation? Save your money on this remastered album, and buy the original 1986 release! js

Ahh I love the 80's
I love this game very much.I recently we bought this game while I was on vacation with my boyfriend. We played it a lot in that time. It was awesome. Weird to say that. But it was. If you love the 80's and you know their music it's fun. I do say that it's not for those with only a small knowledge of the music.There are 5 triva questions to go through and they get harder as you go on. Some are hard. Some aren't as hard. The first 3 are multiple choice so a little easier. The video part is so much fun. It's just fun to play and watch parts of these videos.One of the best games I have ever played. So much fun.

It is a Brick
The travel size is perfect for me. This type of pillow may work well for others, but not for me. I was so excited to try out my new pillow. I was looking forward to the soft shushing sound as the hulls conformed to my head filling in to the areas needing support. Tired, very much in need of restful sleep I lay my weary head onto a BRICK. I got up and removed hulls per the instructions. I carefully saved the hulls. Two nights later after removing literally a gallon of hulls the pillow was more managable or so I thought. The pillow now shushes nicely. Again I lay my weary head down fully expecting it to conform to my head. I was sadly disappointed to find my pillow is still a brick. I will not recommend the buckwheat pillow to anyone.

A dog is still a dog
This game is like going on a blind date. Your friends tell you that she is cute. You talk to her on the phone, and she seems really nice. Then you pick her up, and she's a dog. Shallow, well maybe, but still true. It is a major letdown.This game was the same for me.1. Graphics are not up to par with current titles in the same genre.2. The radio comms are horrible. I can't listen to them for very long before I shut down the game.3. The voice acting (and scripting) is LAME.My final verdict. I should have checked out the demo. And as for my last blind date, I should have demanded a photo.Someday I will learn.

An Overplayed, Annoying Song!
"All the Things She Said" has to be one of the most overplayed songs on the Top 40 radio right now. (I can't believe it even made it to that!) These two girls are basically screaming and whining in this song- it's annoying the first time, but listening to it nearly EVERY DAY will make you wish you were deaf! Yuli and Lena, or whatever their names are, have no talent whatsoever. They're worse than Aaron Carter when he was nine years old. Please do not waste your money. You can listen to this song all you want on the radio, there's no point in buying it. Hasn't it annoyed you already? I'm pretty sure that T.a.T.u will definitely not be around for a while. They're 15 minutes of fame is nearly over.(DO NOT BUY!!)

AMAZING product!
Ok. So first off- when you receive this item, in the tiny little box, you won't believe that it will do ANYTHING, let alone what it can do...especially when you see what it looks like when you take it out. Just a strap, with a few attachments. But REALLY. This works! Our son is in a Britax Marathon seat, and he weighs 37 pounds. I easily figured out how to attach his seat, and adjust the height to keep it off the ground, to our rolling carry on. It only took me about 5 minutes, and I am so pleased with this product, I truly wish that I had invented it myself! Genius! Takes the place of lugging around another piece of something to roll your car seat in, and/or trying to just carry the car seat- which is a nightmare. I KNOW. Try this out if you travel AT ALL. It is a lifesaver.

A fan, but not a fan
I'll try to be brief: I've been a huge Liver's fan for years. . . I own all of their studio material (until Blood and Mood)and have seen them live. Unfortunately, the new CD just doesn't do it for me. . . at all. Yes, I'm all for evolving, growing, and moving forward; however, there's too much other great music out there for me to listen to, buy, and to spend my money, time, and attention on this stuff. I'm out. Hey, they created it, put it out there for public consumption: I, therefore, deserve the right to critique it. I can honestly say that I wouldn't take this CD if it were a gift. I'll never ever listen to it again.

I bought it USED and it should have been for FREE!
I bought this book used and it is horrible!! I agree with people who say he is arrogant, sarcastic and just out and out mean!! If he had been my husband oi.. I would have sent him packing at the first month of the first child. What an insensitive jerk! He talks about having kids as if its as bad as having your wisdom teeth removed.. Its not. Its a wonderful experience that can make a couple even closer. I am the mother of a four year old.. I was a single mom at first then met my husband.. we are planning to start trying in January.. This man and I use that term lightly who wrote this book.. was not meant to be a father or husband.. Please.. if you are a first time father.. DONT GET THIS BOOK!!

Don't waste your time
I was very happy with the service and shipping time provided by the company for this item. It was shipped and received in a timely manner. Unfortunately, after a mere 3 uses, the aluminum quite literally shattered. The exterior handle that had failed on my stock part was fine, but the actual face plate snapped in half just above the lock keyhole. This also caused part of the internal lever mechanism to snap. Again, I opened my door all of three times before this occurred, and I'm no Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'll post a customer image of the failure. Hopefully the company will refund me. I'm not going to waste my time on a replacement.Edit:The company has agrees to refund my account in full without any hassle. Corroborating my original support of the customer service. To reiterate, this company is very amenable, however, this product is not.

Rubber duckie I love you.
I thought my score for this camera was one lost, two killed. then I found No. 3 wedged in the car seat and it works!!!!! It was wedged for two years. and the last two pictures were still good!!. How did I kill those two ?? One got stuck in an escalator and was bent when the guy got it out. The other was hiking with me in freezing weather and was in my rear pocket , could be it got frozen, could be it didn't like that sliding down slopes.These days I own a Nikon D70. It does every thing a camera should. But it doesn't fit in my pocket. It requires forethought and careful setting up and, gasp, reading the manual to get better pictures. Im even afraid to carry it while riding a bike. I'm medically insured but it is not.I bought all three Logitechs for considerably less than the current price and was intending to use my phonecam instead of the Logicam, but now I have my Logicam back I am happy and promise to be more careful with it. `

How can you beat it at this price?
I have been looking for a stainless wok for sometime. I did not want a non stick finish as when heated too hot they produce fumes that can be toxic to pet birds.I purchased this Cusinart Stainless 14 inch stir fry. It is a great pan. It is good looking, large so you can cook a lot of food in it. It is extremely easy to clean. It comes with a nice glass lid. It is also light weight. I own the set of Cuisnart Stainless Cookware that I bought last year on Amazon. I am very happy with the set. This wok pan is an excellent value, you simply will not find a good quality wok at this price. Buy It!!

Two Brand New troybilt horse tillers broken the first days used
I had two troybuilt horse Model 682 tillers purchased brand new. Both new rototillers broke right away. The first one rototilled two 160 feet rows and then the tines quite turning. We took it in for repair at qualified troybilt repair shop. Meanwhile I need a rototiller now! Two and a half weeks later I get it back from the shop. I used it one hour and the transmission would not shift into neutral or reverse. I returned this tiller thinking it was a lemon. The new tiller arrived and three and a half hours later it will not stay in gear. It doesn't matter weather it is high or low gear. I have to manually hold the main shift lever down which makes turning and walking to the side of the troybilt horse impossible. This is a wonderful feature about the horse when it is proper working order. We plan to return the rototiller and buy a different brand. Our old troybilt was a great machine. This new one is a P.O.S.

At first I was somewhat skeptical due to a couple of negative reviews. However, I was desparate. The other XML books I've read (and fallen asleep with) seem to be restatements of the W3C specifications. I am a DBA/Data Architect in the midst of an international Web Services and SOA project and I needed something fast. As it turns out, this was probably the best investment in reference materials I've made in a long time. I guess I am not really sure what the other reviewers missed, but this book was perfect for me. I hold mixed roles of DBA as well as Data Architect - data modelling mostly. Recently, I was tasked with trying to determine why and how all of this XML stuff fits in a SOA project, and from the data perspective. Although I've been a DBA for too many years to share, I've positioned myself mostly at the persistence layer. This book really opened my eyes. Thorough, concise, and very focused on what "data folks" need. Five stars were a must for me.

Needed perspective for a programmer
Want to write a brilliant applicatioin? Then think and process information the way your user will think and process, and design your application for them, not you! Easy concept to say and comprehend, but rather hard to actually do. Tog, through examples and descriptions, tells us how people think and process information. The not-so-surprising thing is that most code slingers think in conceptual ways that are not so common. Go figure. Tog really does help you understand how most others will process, and that understanding makes you a better developer.My company makes these chapters on processing information a required reading for all new developers that join the company. It is that good. The Intuition quiz, the one that tries to help you see how your own brain stores and retrieves information, is an addiction for every new reader. Of course, one of the coded sayings "9 P in the SS" is dated. Today it should be written "8 P in the SS". Tomorrow it may change again.

opened it and ate a lot as soon as I took it from the delivery guy...
I think this is a great introduction to this food by Jarrows. Yaeyama means one of the best kinds according to their assurance. The taste didn't exite me, but it does gets exiting when you go for your next consumption. I even lick the powder it still taste good. These algae are so small, according to the book I read, like a bloodcell! Both Spirulina and Chlorella are supernutrition for those who particularly prefer to be in optimal condition. 5 stars to Jarrows. I hope the product is clean. I read one of the review saying that Ishigagi island could be contaminated... I don't think so... It's a resorted area... So I hope I'm consuming a clean product!

Your first is always the most memorable
Like many others before me, it seems that we all read this book while in junior high. I can remember it being on the Scholastic book list that we could choose and order from and it was my first SciFi book ever read. Andre Norton story opened my eyes and I noticed the future for the first time. As a young teenager, life was today and not much thought was given to tomorrow. This book showed me that all kinds of tomorrows could exist. It was an easy and enjoyable read for me. I connected quickly to the main character and his journey into adulthood. Like many others, the book was passed along and never returned. Some 35 plus years later, it still remains number one to me. And it truly, is too good to be out of print. It needs to be out there again for another generation of young adults to discover.

So Called Chaos
Come on everybody -- give Alanis some credit for growing spiritually and artistically! I thank her for continuing to reach out and sweep us along on her journey. And Amazon, I would like to disagree with your editorial review -- the track "Doth I Protest Too Much" is not about a woman with Zen-like serenity. On the contrary! Revisit the lyrics! It's about a woman in agony as she PRETENDS to project calm detachment. (See the source of the title: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" from Shakespeare's Hamlet.) At least Alanis is trying, and that's progress. Her honesty and flare continue to be a breath of fresh air ... you won't be disappointed in this album if you believe life is a journey of never-ending lessons to be learned. Thank U !!!

READ THIS BOOK....NOW!!!!!
I have spent hundreds of dollars on this site and have never been provoked to write a review...until now. The Count of Monte Cristo has got to be one of the greatest books ever written. I'm telling you now, read this unabridged version, and it will change the way you look at fiction for the rest of your life. I promise. I'm an avid reader (I teach high school literature) and made it to my late 20's without ever reading this unabridged version. Man am I glad I decided to pick it up and read it. Don't be scared by the number of pages (1245). I absolutely promise you will finish it in no time. I mentioned to the person who suggested I read this version this comment, "there is no soul on this earth who would not like this book". Pretty intense I know, but do yourself a favor...buy the book, read it, get lost in it, tell other people about it, and love literature. You will not be disappointed. Have fun...I DID!!!!

I love Slayers, but not this
I've reviewed the other Slayer's series entries and this one is one of the worst. As I've said before, I don't like Lisa Ortiz not playing Lina. But the problems with this story are deeper than that. This is really stupid. Two golem builders become infatuated with Lina and Naga. They build golems that are models of the two sorceresses. Then the golems battle each other. I sat there watching and waiting to be entertained, but nothing interesting happened. I admit that I laughed a time or two, but overall I can't believe that they did this to my beloved Slayers series. Obviously there are folks out there who enjoyed this one. You may end up being one of them. Everyone has different tastes. If you're thinking of buying this, I suggest trying to watch it somehow before you spend your money. I wish I had.

A Story that deserves to be told and to be heard
Oh! the age of discovery. Where did it go to? What happened to men of long ago who were adventurers. The Endurance is the name of Earnest Shackleton's vessel. As it turned out, the name would be proven true to significant proportions. This story will teach about the determination of the human spirit. In order for this to be so, it starts with a collection of persons who were extremely skilled in all facets of sea travel. Including the initial construction of seaworthy boats, navigating course direction in adverse conditions, and maintaining a hierarchy of organizational structure. By doing so a platform was put in to place to acheive great things. This story is about acheiving great things.I like the way the dvd is done documetary style. For most of us, this will be the first time we have encountered this compelling story. It is fitting that as we do we see the actual faces of the persons behind it.The story deserves to be told and to be heard.

Excellent review material
This DVD is definitely intermediate level stuff. He starts with a quick review of the 5 basic scale patterns, pentatonic, blues, and diatonic, plus the related chords. If you've read Fretboard Logic this will be familiar. Then a quick review of which scales go with which chords. Nice. Then arpeggios and how to use them. Also nice. Then he puts theory in action by teaching some very nice country and blues licks, then some Brazilian and a pop tune with altered chords. Just a very pleasant DVD, full of good info and nice tunes. Mr Findlay has a very breezy teaching style. The licks work on electric guitar as well. Lots of info in a short time. One of the best guitar teaching DVDs I've seen. And the price is right.

Ummm, Rewrite Please!
Ok, I love Hamilton's books. Her creativity is boundless, and her characters fly off the pages. But this book was so one-dimentional and I was really dissapointed. I gave it two stars because even though it's kind of a let-down, it still manages to nudge the story along and you should read it if you want to keep up with the series. But it's a total "filler" book. There is tooooo much pointless sex, (most of which is totally pointless to the story). Enough with the ARDEUR crap! If Hamilton wants to write porn, she should just get on with that. And don't get me wrong, I totally love good sex scenes, but in this book they took over to the detriment of a decent story line. Hamilton's signature preternatural crime hook suffered badly here, becoming almost an afterthought to the Anita's being in constant heat. I mean phleaz! Get the woman a vibrator already....

Disapointed!
After going over this book I realized that I could find the same information on line. The main reason I bought this book was to find out where I could get my supplies. What I found was the authors website. I checked out a lot of the suppliers listed, and most of them only supplied businesses. Very few would sell supplies to individuals, and they were Expensive!! Another reason I bought it was to do some trouble shooting. They had some helpful tips, but I later found the same information on line also. I wanted to get some good ideas by looking at pictures. Big disapointment!! There pictures were in black and white and hard to see. I would recommend getting another book!!

I couldn't put it down.
This book is a gem. One of the best I have ever read. Here's some example of what I mean by one of the best:1. I was emotionally involved in the characters. By the end of the book, I felt sympathy for them, cried with them, and was happy for them.2. I couldn't put the book down. I am a slow reader, but flew through this book in record time. All of my spare time I wanted to spend reading this book.3. It won the Pulitzer!4. Chabon came up with an amazing way of weaving a tale that incorporates both fantasy and reality. This story may be about a seemingly lighthearted topic on the cover synopsis (comics), but in reality, it's a story about human relationships and life. I was deeply moved by the story.5. The book had an underlying theme of escape. It's a profound statement for times such as those we live in. Escape is noble goal. This book helped me escape, but provoked some good thinking as well.I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good literature.

The kids are all right, but this movie's not!
Very disappointing movie. Actually, the movie really sucked. Did anyone in production/creation of this movie ever meet a lesbian couple???? Apparently not... First, what's up with the flower-child dialogue? No one really talks like that; in California or anywhere else. Right on?? I guess someone was trying to follow a stereotype of granola, crunchy, non-confrontational lesbians...? I didn't see any Birkenstocks though... hmmm... the rest of the dialogue was meaningless fluff... it was impossible to care about any of the characters since they were so poorly created. And since when do lesbians watch gay male porn?? Are you kidding me??? And of course, one of them HAS to have sex with a man...Don't waste your time.

Not Exactly Reliable
I purchased this adapter mainly to supply my Sony MP3 compact disc player with power. I use it to listen to MP3 formatted audiobooks. The concept is wonderful, as this can be used with many devices, but I find that I have to hit my power button up to three times before the unit will acutally play. It will turn on and then power down. This is something that I have never experienced with any other adapter. I even made sure the switches for polarity and voltage were in the correct positions - they were. Thought that this was just something that I was experiencing while I was at work, but it happens at home also. Don't get me wrong, it does ultimately work, but it takes a few stops and start to get it going. If you try too many times, it will start the book over, making me listen to a whole chapter over again as there is no function to listen page by page. Can be quite frustrating. Please comment if anyone is experiencing the same issues.

America: The Fall of an Empire
Well ... not completely.Once again Coulter puts out a book for one purpose ... to make money. It read as such. Packed full of hate, and rants that had nothing to support itself. If one could read this as satire then perhaps it would actually be funny. However what this kind of writing does to our country is slowly erode the boundaries between what is real and what is not real. But. What make such a book truly despicable is that it was written pandering to a specific audience to make money. This isn't a good ha ha like some Sunday newpaper cartoon ... this is ugly, hateful, and misleading completely on purpose. It is misinformation for an already disturbingly misinformed public. Coulter will continue to write such garbage as long as people buy it ... hey, such as capitalism. She has a right to ... well write this, but it is shameful never-the-less. A conservative friend lent me this book ... I would never have paid for it knowing I paid blood money.

Don't Give Richard Foster Your Money
Its unfortunate that I am forced to give this book even ONE star. Richard Foster was privileged enough to receive a 17 page letter from Ms. Page where she outlined what had been going on in her life while she had been away from the public eye. In this letter, she mentioned 'The years 1982 through 1992 I do not want to be made known.' Richard Foster ran with this and using public records and interviewing people who knew her, came up with this terrible book. He never even bothered to contact her beyond that first letter and NEVER GAVE HER THE RIGHT TO TELL HER SIDE OF THE STORY. Her side is VERY different. This book is an evil, evil attempt to make a profit using someone else's misfortune. This book isn't even worth the paper its printed one. If you want a REAL book on Bettie Page that does her justice, you'll read 'Bettie Page: Life of a Pin-Up Legend'. Now THAT is a beautiful book.

CAN WE SAY SHE'S GOOD?
good? she's f***ing amazing. i have her previous albums and they show real talents. not like britney spears. who needs a mixer to get her vocals to sound good, but this singer can do it w/o it. her songs are very addictive and it sticks in your head. christina aguilera shows talents but she's kinda different. unlike chritina, she goes for the gentle and sweet soud instead of the strong sound. the samples in this site are not the good songs at all. in my opinion, the best ones are "all tied up in you" "can we talk about it" "i will be your friend" after listening to these songs, you have to admit that she's good. she started different than the other singers. she started singin to pay off her mom's car damage. and before she knows it, she's discovered. you have to buy some of her other CD's to know her real talent. she's released 2 english CDs besides this one. but the chinese ones are sooo much better tho.

Beware - this book will tell your child that there is no Easter Bunny!!!!
I bought this book to read to my 3 children for Easter. Luckily, my oldest, who is 8 got hold of the book before I could read it to his younger siblings. He took me aside and told me: "Mum, you don't want to show this book to my brother and sister. It will tell them that there is no Easter Bunny." He just about prevented disaster!!!!! What was the author thinking?! You write a picture book aimed at the preschool/elementary school age group and then you put a whopper like that in there?! Without any warning to the parents? I mean - hello?! What was that author thinking?!!!

First time reader
This is my first time reading this author's works. I enjoyed this book. As a single parent, I can relate with both female characters. The mother was in love and didn't realize she had a good thing until it was to late, so he moves on. Finding a 'new' love interest but not able to shake the past. I clapped for both women. I can understand both point of views. In all, it boils down to the child. In the end, love rules and along the way hearts are broken. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great read! I will continue to read this author's works and expect to hear great things about her.

Yuck!!!!
This is by far the second worst Machine Head yet. It seems that this band has been on a steady decline since the release of their second album. "Burn My Eyes" was amazing. Tight riffs and killer production and the best metal album to come out in a long time. Then after that album, they have slowly been on a downward spiral since then. "The More Things Change" was an OK album, the riffs got a little more simpler, and along came "The Burning Red". I was TOTALLY dissapointed with that piece of (You know what). Just a worthless and uninspired CD. Now we come to Supercharger, a little better than their last, but not by much at all. I have listened to this CD twice, and having trouble finding anything redeeming about it. It ranks above their last CD, but not by much. That's too bad, they most certainly had a bright future ahead of them, now it's getting foggier. Later.

This is NOT actually an AngelCare product!!!
I spoke with Natalie Laffe from Angelcare moments ago (they are in Canada). It turns out this product is made by a former partner of theirs called "Bebesounds" which was actually sold to "Graco." And Angelcare was not happy with Graco's business. Their business relationship no longer exists. All of these boards are unsold inventory from Graco. They are no longer manufactured. Even Natalie from Angelcare said this board is overpriced and that all you need is a board that is bigger than the sensor to keep the sensor from being bent or damaged by slats or springs. And get this, she said it doesn't have to be made of Masonite! She said that wood would work fine. If you want to know if any product is made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Angelcare, you need only to look at the Angelcare website and click on "products." If it's not there, then they don't make it. Hope this helps!
