Great Idea, but it doesn'tactually work
I am just about to send my Simplefi back. Functionally, the unit is exactly what I wanted. It even installed in 15 minutes and worked first time. Then the bad news started. It lost its PC connection, and I couldn't get it back. I reinstalled the software, I rebooted the PC. My PC - running Windows XP Home - BSD'd on bootup. I spent two separate hours on the phone to Motorola tech support ahout all of this. They basically admitted it doesn't work with XP, and they don't know why.So this is a real shame. I'd love to keep this device. But it is going back, and Motorala of course won't repay me for shipping it back, or my wasted time. So I have to pay to debug this for Motorola and Simple Devices.

Elvis Cinema and Popular Culture
Save your money! This author can't be serious! I laughed through most of what he thinks is a serious topic. I have never read such psychobabble in my life. Throughout the entire book he is hung up on the same 2 subjects which are certainly part of the dumb Elvis movies but nothing that any reasonable person would take seriously. The movies were meant to be just fun & nothing more. There is no underlying message in any of those movies. Except for Jailhouse Rock & King Creole, the movies are about the same, just meant for young kids to be entertained by a good looking guy who can sing. This author is just trying to impress readers with his supposed knowledge & his vocabularly. If he sees underlying sexual perversion in an Elvis movie, I'd hate to see how he reacts to the movies of today! He needs to get a life, some movies are just meant for one thing only - entertainment. They don't have to mean anything. Poor guy.

I'd give it "ZERO" stars if I could
Pay no attention to the people giving great reviews because they probably work for EA. This game is horrid and a complete waste of money. You can't control the camera, at all. You have no control over what you can and cannot see. It was so funny to have to sneak past the prefects in the previous game and zap different items looking for coins and beans. This game gives new definition to the phrase "no roaming". What happened was, the game was supposed to come out on November 10. On the night of November 9, someone at EA said, "Oh my gosh! The Harry Potter game! Did anyone start designing it yet??" Cleary an overnight concoction.

"Absolutley Dreadful" - Simon Cowell
This game was horrible. The MLB series just suck so amazingly its not even funny. This game was soooo stupid. The batting was horrible. It didn't have the pure swing system. The pitching was even worse, I put the cursor in one place it ends up not even close to where I put it. The fielding is unrealistic. Half the plays I didn't make in MLB '05, I could've made in MVP '04. The commentators bore the crap out of me espcially that Scully dude. If you quit a game in the middle, you can't simulate the rest of it. Barry Bonds isn't in the game. The graphics suck, as in the player faces suck. I'd say the best lookin' thing in the game is the uniforms. That's it. Overall, this game sux. I truly reccomend MVP Baseball 2004 over this.

we love homemade icecream
We love this machine! We haven't had any trouble with the lid/arm as some people have. (I put the lid on the arm before plugging in the arm) It arrived right side up and in perfect condition and the packaging was very good. We've only had it a month, but hopefully it can handle many, many years and batches of ice cream. It's so great to not have to buy ice, find a place to store it until we're ready to start the ice cream, or find a store that carries the right kind of salt (not to mention it saves on the overall cost). We use our own recipe and it turns out GREAT. My husband also loves having the opening for adding chopped cookies, nuts, sauces, etc toward the end of mixing. We use it to make our own versions of blizzards too. My teenage sons are already experimenting with flavors. So far we have no regrets on this purchase. Hopefully it will last a long time to truly pay itself off.

powerful
finished this last night and it really made me stop to catch my breath. So subtle and dark. I was very disturbed by the complicated challenges this couple faced because I didn't have any idea what they should do... stay together? leave each other? go to europe? have the baby? like in life, there are no easy answers. But there ARE! STAY TOGETHER! DON'T SCREW THE SECRETARY! GO TO EUROPE! ok, maybe it's not that easy. I loved the book. Some of his descriptions are incredible...like of the anger that built up when he was digging the stone path and he finally blew up at the children... so real.

....other then that its perfect.
This movie looks like a videogame. The musical score is boring and forgettable. Naomi Watts is far too old for the role. Jack Black is a horrible actor who does nothing but bug his eyes out and whisper all the time. Several extranious characters are added early in the film and then just vanish for no reason at all. Several sequences were so corney I almost laughed out loud wile others were simply mean spirited. The dinosaur sequences were imitations of those boring Jurassic Park films. The hero looks like one of the Ritz brothers. The characters were so poorly developed I'm still not sure if they were good, evil or just misguided and even the good guys were basically unlikable. The plot strayed too far from the original on several occasions. The movie ran way too long and was boring at times ("if you shake it an hour will fall out"). Oh and did I mention that Kong was way to small. Other than thatits perfect.

Poor design, bad pressure cooker
I really wanted this pressure cooker to be the multi-cooker it promised to be. The first one I received spewed steam all over the place and the pressure relief valve did not stay in place. After using it one time, I cleaned it and the very messy counters and decided to try cooking something else. It didn't even turn on. The second one I received had similar problems, basically with the pressure relief valve. Water also built up behind the led light display. It heats unevenly, only has 1 temperature and you cannot submerge the pot. I've used pressure cookers for years and this is by far the poorest one I have ever used. That said, the customer service was great and the company refunded my money. I don't think Manttra is making these anymore, which is a good thing because it is a really bad piece of kitchen equipment. The only good thing about it is the capacity.

Twilight
This book was not only well written, the characters were relatable. In a weird way. Not the vampire thing obviously. But there personalities. The whole high school experience. Almost everything. It all starts when Bella moves to Forks WA to live with her dad. She hasn't spent much time with him over the years seeing how she lived in Phoenix with her mom. But during the summer she and her dad would spend some time together. When she arrives in Forks she almost instantly sees Edward Cullen. A very handsome stranger who she can't stop thinking about. As she slowly starts to get to know him, she just seems to like him even more. And at the same time, have more questions than she gets answers. The book is great. I think many others will like it as well as I did. Or even more.

Beauty + Chaos = My Bloody Valentine
The title of this review is a simple way to describe my first listen to MBV's "Loveless." I borrowed it from a roommate, tucked myself and my headphones into bed and pressed Play. I was expecting to drift off after a few songs . . . that didn't happen. I'd never heard anything like it - a gorgeous softness paired with nearly unbearable distortion. Can something exist as overpoweringly delicate, softly crushing or soothingly chaotic? After listening to "Loveless," I would argue yes, yes and yes.If you are willing to try something completely original (still, even after 15+ years), try the masterfully orchestrated chaos of "Loveless." I think you'll find all these oxymorons wonderfully appropriate, but also gloriously inadequate . . . and therein lies the genius!

An incredible book!
The Silver Chair is about two young friends who escape into C.S. Lewis's glorious world of Narnia. They are immediately sent on an important mission and that's where the exciting adventure begins. The children encounter many obstacles during the quest and feel like aliens in this strange world, you'll have to read it to find out if they ever get back to our world!This is truly a great fantasy book. If you like being swept away into a totally different world, this is the book for you. C.S. Lewis has such a wonderful way of describing Narnia and explaining what is going on to the reader. I would recommend it for both adults and kids and any fans of the Harry Potter series. If you like this book you might also like the other six books in the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. All in all, it was an incredible reading experience!

Beautifully done...LOVED it!!
I bought this book as an impulse cheapie with hardly any intent on reading it because I've never been intrigued by Greek mythology. It's one of those that I thought of as "last resort" if I get bored. I decided one day, after it lied on my nightstand for 2 months, to just go for it and read the first few pages. If I don't like it by then, I put it down. The problem is that I couldn't put it down!!! When I had to sleep, I was anxious to wake up and start reading again. I carried it everywhere I went. The book got in my head so much that I actually dreamt about it on many occasions...something I have never done before. I loved this book from start to finish. The characters were brilliantly animated and there was never a moments rest. As soon as you think things have died down, something else happens. I am soooo ready to read it again as it became my new favorite after The Davinci Code. Highly recommend this book!

He must need the money.
Michael Gerber must need money. His "The E-myth Revisited" is the best book on small business I have ever read. I give it to my customers as gifts. I ran to the book store as soon as I learned he had a new book out. What a disappointment. "E-Myth Mastery" is a grueling read and a collossal waste of time. It is full of useless psycho-babble, and convoluted and incomprehen-sible plans and charts. No one would ever actually do this stuff. And his protege, "Sarah" - who was overused in the first book and was it's only weak part - is downright annoying in this one. Buy the first "E-Myth" and read it over and over. Leave the new one on the shelves. Try again, Michael.

Not good.
I bought this shake because of it's high reviews. I have previously been drinking Herbalife protein shakes but wanted to switch to whey protein for the price and for more protein. My sister even recommended this product to me saying it was delicious. I mixed it up in my shaker cup and poured it into a glass. The aroma it gave off was terrible. It smelled like rotten eggs! I tried it anyway and sure enough, it tasted like it too! I thought maybe it was a bad batch so I had my sister try it. She said she thought it tasted fine. Maybe this is how all whey protein is??? I don't know, but definitely not for me.

i don't like it
I've had this camera for almost 3 years. For some reason, I was attracted to all of the features and low price. I wish I had done more research. Video is okay. not good when it's dark. It's a little bulky and feels poorly built. It does not have a 5 mega pixel camera like it states. It's more like 2.5. The zoom is also very choppy. If it get's too hot or cold outside, it won't work. The sound is bad since you can hear the internal parts of the camera working when you play it back. All in all. It was I mistake I learned from. I've done my research, and Soon I'll be getting a much better camera that I'm not embarrassed to carry around.

This Beef Is About Pork.
Characters in conflict is what moves a story along. The conflict, or "beef," in this book is about a young boy's pet pig. The story develops this way:Boy saves neighbor's calf. Grateful neighbor gifts boy a piglet. Boy makes pet of pig. Boy's strict father frowns on gift. Boy's father butchers pigs for a living. Now that's conflict.This somber, touching book describes Shaker farm life in New England, and provides an excellent exploration of the relationship between father and son. Its apparent beef may be about pork, but underlying that is a sophisticated coming-of-age essay. Definitely worth a look. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.

My son likes it, but it's junk
I bought this for my 4 year old son's birthday because he's really into volcanoes, outerspace, science, etc. and I thought this would bring many of those concepts together. I suppose it does and he likes it, but I was really disappointed. First of all, the white and blue don't contrast nearly as well as they do in the picture. The liquid is more cloudy. Second, the whole thing is very flimsy. Don't even consider moving it unless it's completely cooled. The "base" was especially annoying to me, as it is totally hollow. I thought it would be solid to offset the weight of the glass lamp/lava part but it isn't, so the whole thing is very top heavy. It wouldn't take much of a bump to knock it over. Also of note, "13-inch" refers to the entire thing, top to bottom/base to tip, not just the lamp/lava part so it is rather small.

Rant and rant and rant
I loved Traveling Mercies as it was autobiographical, funny and inspiring. This book is a series of essays mostly putting down conservatives, Christian or otherwise. The author admitted raging on about the benefits of abortion to a group of Catholics not knowing who her audience was. That's flunking presentation skills 101. And Christianity 101. Remember: Thy Shall Not Kill? Why did she need all those abortions anyway? Unprotected sex, while on mind altering substances with men unsuitable to parent. Not a bit of self scrutiny for her actions here. Where's the interest in that?She repeats herself several times, especially in putting down the Bush administration and goes on and on. I did not buy this book for her political perspectives, but for her spiritual ones. Read Traveling Mercies instead.

Gangster...Incredible!!!
I have never read any of Lorenzo Caracaterra's books. I also have never been really into very many novels. This story was in incredible journey. It was very well written and very easy to follow along. In fact, it was hard not to get sucked into his "Gangster" world and feel as though you are really a part of what is going on. It gave you a different view to see gangsters and not just killers. You see them as business men. You see them as corporate leaders. Must of the story what you would think it is. Then you start to see the story change. Before you know it, BAM! You get thrown for a loop and my jaw dropped to the ground. Even tho I saw it coming from the beginning, I never really did put it all together until the first words out of Mary's mouth towards the end. Then it all just made sense.

It IS time you disappear!
Oh man, what has Metallica done to themselves? I used to defend Metallica and tell people they didn't sell out, and this is how they repay me? So, they're doing songs with turntables now? Geez man, I never thought I'd see the day. Guys, I think you should do one of two things: go back to the basics, or just break up already. If this is the kind of stuff you're going to do from now on, just forget it. I can just hear all the Limp Bizkit fans talking about how much this rules, and they've probably never even heard songs like "Master of Puppets" or "Creeping Death". Well, I'm done "toughing out the bad years". I give up. You people want to hear some real metal? Check out Iced Earth. Metallica is dead to me.

Great book! for starting fires with...
I'll start by saying I'm not a linux guru by any means. I've played around with Red Hat, starting with 7, then 9, and now FC3. I also have used Debian a bit. Further, a long time ago in a city far, far away, I used Solaris exclusively when I was in college.That being said, this book reads like VCR instructions. In olde english. Upside down.I installed Fedora BEFORE I bought the book, and had an OK-running system. I got the book to start doing more with it -- set up Samba, Sendmail, DNS, etc. I would have been better just reading the FAQ's online. This book has no flow, no good examples, and makes even the easiest tasks difficult (at best) or just plain rediculous (at worst). Get a different book.If my review hasn't dissuaded you, then I'll give you my copy. Anything to get this thing off my shelf.

Boy, that was quick!
Our new rescue beast chewed most of the way through the center ring in about five minutes. I guess the size of the dog does not matter all that much. Bear goes at his toys with a side chomp, putting his massive, sharp molars to work. Very impressive results for a little (34 lbs) guy. The inutility of this toy for our purposes makes me think that a given toy can either be a tug toy, or a chew toy. We have yet to find a toy that can do both. Wish the Mammoth Pet Flossy Chews Braided Rope Bone with Balls shipped via Amazon Prime. If it did, I'd give it a go. We like the rope toys as tug toys, but we have real concerns with wads of cotton threads, chewed off the ends, going down the old pie hole and jamming up the system downstream. Too bad this ring toy did not work out for our Bear. He's a real challenge, and we're still looking for the ultimate tug/chew toy.

More than a mere cartoon
I don't like anime. I don't like cartoons. I don't like silly, over-the-top animations. But this is different. It's real Star Wars. It's everything you hope and want it to be.This is the bridge between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. This chronicles the Clone Wars and the actions of the Jedi and the clone troopers who do the fighting. It also introduces General Grievous and Asajj Ventress as new and exciting characters.This collection of shorts go together smoothly and make for a great watch. The best segments include the ARC Trooper and the battle between Asajj and Anakin. Great animations and exciting story telling. I can't wait to get Volume II.Don't pass this up just because it is in anime format. It's a great addition to the Star Wars expanded universe.

Very helpful
Great little book. I bought it here after checking it out one day in a bookstore. It had all these logical little tips in it. It goes room by room, and the best part for me was: "things to look for", and it'll just name things that you should find and toss. What was i thinking keeping a bunch of random keys around. :D. And freakin' takeout menus. I tossed the old keys and put the menus in a folder. The book is much better than that, but those were the first 2 things i did. I've seen a ton of decor, declutter and organize books. this one is really good. I've given 2 away, just about to give away my recently purchased copy and now have to repurchase again for myself.

Corny, but It Works!
I know we're supposed to read to our boy every night. It's difficult for me. My wife is better. His grandparents are much better. He doesn't much care for some books and I can easily understand why. It just seems to take a special knack to reach some children. Well, one book he really loves is "Midnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown. He likes to go over it again and again, even on his own. It's amazing. Plus, it's helped him to recognize all sorts of things around the house and in his external environment. When he points upward and says "Moon" at night I know exactly where it came from. Interesting! Personally, I think it's really corny, but I'm not the one to judge. Based on his continuing interest, I'd say this is positively one of his better books.Gary Peterson

Good hammer
I bought this hammer a little while back. I work on a construction crew, and do numberous odd jobs. I do like this hammer a lot. It's very light, which is great for not weighing down my toolbelt. It also does not put much stress on my elbow. I was using a heavier hammer, and I could start to feel a twinge in my tendons. The long handle is great, especially since I am not too tall. The nail set is great again to extend my reach. I haven't had any problems pulling nails, even the old rusty ones. I think my next hammer might be a Dalluge. They are 16 ounces, so it doesn't require quite as much effort to drive them home.

Another Winner
I loved it! Though the book is in a different format than the previous books it was still perfect. Each pair of pages was set up with a one liner on the left with a comic illustrating the point on the right. Ex. Cats are paranoid-with the adjourning comic showing Bucky accusing Satchel of trying to kill him. Every time I read Get Fuzzy I can compair Bucky to my own two cats. Rob-Bucky and Satchels' poor owner- is a great charecter pet owners can truly relate to. Darby Conley puts a hilarious spin on everyday life with pets. This is a gift book and I'll definatly be ordering more copies because I can't part with my own. Anyone with a cat will love this book because Bucky is so true to life. Thankfully my cats don't put cans of tuna in the microwave of use power tools to redecorate as Bucky does-But I love them anyway.

Same old graphics
There are not only fans who play these games to learn how to fly a plane, but there are also many people who just want to enjoy the scenery as they fly from country to country. That said, don't bother wasting your money if you already have FS2002. The graphics look almost the same as FS2002. As usual looking down at the terrain from a high altitude is great. On the other hand, once you come down to a lower altitude you can't tell if it's a field or a brown block. Sounds like they've used the same old programmers from FS2002 into 2004. Microsoft needs better programmers so we can appreciate the scenery at low altitude. They should also add farms and houses on mountains. It is completely desolate in the game with no lights at night. What happened to the Amazon rain forest in Brazil? It looks like a brown block with twigs sticking out. I can't see Microsoft making a giant leap, with regards to graphics, into FS2006. I'm going to have to wait for FS2008.

very good & a touch of unique
i like this cd alot. this is a cd that you need to lock yourself away and put it on and listen to the whole cd. when i first got it, i skimmed through each track and thought "this is a little different". i decided that night to play some solitare on my pc. i put it on and listen to the entire cd. i loved it. great vocals. i got the feeling it had a touch of Mila Mar type of vocals in a few tracks. the cd is 68:32 long so you get a nice length. some of the songs are a slower more deep songs, while others have a nice dance feel to them. the song "try to relate" could end up on radio i think. the song "some girl" is already a single, and a great choice for one too. nice and dancey. the kind of exotic whisper/singing in parts of it is a very nice toucha good cd to add to your collection. and of course another great cd from the shelves of a different drum. :-))

Love it!
I purchased the Retro Panini Grill as a Christmas gift for my husband. This is a sturdy, well made grill for a great price. This is not junk! In just a matter of minutes, the panini is done...crunchy on the outside and hot on the inside of the sandwich with melted cheese. We have also used the DeLonghi for fish and chicken. Again, in just a matter of minutes, you have delicious food! The top grill of the panini maker automatically adjusts to the height of the food placed within the grill. Easy cleanup and upright storage is a plus. The cord is not a problem with upright storage. An extra bonus is the recipe book which will make your mouth water! I highly recommend this item to everyone!

Junk!
My husband got this for me for Christmas as I am always complaining I am cold. Unfortunately as soon as he took it out of the box and turned it on for about 2 minutes he decided it worked and threw out the box. I have had it on all day and it has not kept me warm at all. Not even in a very small room. No matter what setting I put it on, it throws the same amount of heat out, and the knobs turn very easily, so not sure the child feature is working. I can put it on setting I, II, or III and they are all the same. Also the outside of the unit is staying ice cold, which I assume is not normal since the instructions are telling you in bold to not touch it as it gets hot. I am not happy that we cannot return it. I have contacted Honeywell/Kaz but no reply yet. BUT even when they do reply, I am not about to spend more money on shipping to send it to them, plus a $10 check to have them send it back either. TOTAL and complete waste of money. I would give no stars if I could.

Gheorghiu ain't no Anna Moffo
After Anna Moffo, Angela Gheorghiu is one cold and regal Violetta. The contrast is jarring. This is a good production but visually too minimalist for me. Solti and the orchestra acquit themselves brilliantly. But Ms. Gheorghiu is so formal and regal, and so cold, that I almost wish I had not bought this DVD, even with the added attraction of the highlights CD. Alfredo is superb, with a resonant voice; Ms. Gheorghiu also has a strong and accurate instrument. The sound overall is very good. But I am spoiled by Anna Moffo. She is so feminine and spontaneous, unaffected and passionate. She could be Violetta - she simply does not seem to be acting. Ms. Gheorghiu, by contrast, is definitely playing a role in an opera. She lacks the emotional authenticity and vulnerability of Ms. Moffo. As she begins to sing "Sempre libera, it sounds like she spits out the words, as if she were angry. It's puzzling. But Ms. Moffo sings her heart out, and she has won mine.

A Good Coaster! Bad CD!
Lacking Totaly lacking! I love Jewels previous Cds they were great they were mellow and uplifting and dare I even say almost christian! Jewel's new CD [is poor]! her songs are stupid shallow and slow. Her vainity is desplayed in track 8 and she seems prone to wanting fame and not caring what any of her songs are about. I bought the CD when it first came out and I'm so dissapointed! I hate the Mockery of a song Jesus loves you. It is simply pro-abortion and against the church and very human life! Don't get this cd unless you need a coster! wait Even that would be a waste of money too. fine Just don't Get the cd!

Great to carry with you
This book would make a great gift for anyone you know who is expecting. The book itself is small and fits in my purse easily. This book covers quite a few helpful topics for during pregnancy and child care after the delivery. I liked the section for the partners, which explains why aromatherapy is beneficial and encourages them to massage you (which is always a plus). The layout of the book was confusing, because it jumped right into pregnancy care without much discussion of the essential oils to use first. It may be better to buy this book if you already know a bit about aromatherapy. I really like the chart at the end of the book telling you the oils to use in each trimester. It makes looking up a particular oil very easy. This book is a good thing to have on hand while you are pregnant. It tells just enough to give you all the information you need to safely use aromatherapy in pregnancy without repeating itself. I think I'll take it to the hospital!

Hank Williams is the King of Country. This CD is garbage. Exactly how can you have a Hank Williams tribute with Ryan Adams? Johnny Cash is the only one on this CD that really deserves to be. No one wants to hear Keith Richards butcher one of the greatest all time songs "You Win Again."How can you have a Hank Williams tribute without Hank Williams Jr? He is the only person who can honestly do justice to Hank's songs. They could have at least had some better modern singers. Try country singers. Toby Keith, George Straight, etc. Not Keb' Mo. Not Ryan Adams.Stay clear. It is garbage.

Piece of garbage
very poorly compiled set. The set includes magnets for the back of the dresses but how do the dresses attach to the dolls? No clue! No directions were included. We got it in the mail and the pink "closet" box was p[packaged inside a brown cardboard box with nothing else in it. No pictures of the princesses on the outside, no directions NOTHING. What are the cardboard names of the Princesses for? No instructions for that either. In our opinion for 40.00 + shipping you should be given more instructions. What a waste of money, my 7 year old on Christmas morning is disappointed and has no desire to play with this because we don't have a clue how to use it!! Do not waste your 40.00. there are nicer paper dolls out there that don't need instructions to play with.

SHEDDING THE LIGHT ON DARK CLOUD
Out of 5 stars (5 being the highest) I rate: Graphics:4 Gameplay:5 Replay value:5. This is one of the best games you can get today. It kept me hooked for 50+ hours! If you like RPG's and Action and Sims then mix them all together you get Dark Cloud. The dungeons are very detailed and the enemies are actually kinda hard to beat. This just gives you more of a challenge. A lot of peolple think this game will stink because of the japanese failure, but there wrong, dead wrong. This game includes so much more than the japonese version and every new thing is gold, solid gold. The hero may look a little odd but who cares. There are 5 other really cool playable charactors that have special features on them. Buy this game if you know whats good for you.

Stupid little things keep it down
There are a few details that made me send this one back.1. A Mac won't even boot when the mouse is attached. Really, what USB mouse doesn't work on a Mac these days? Plus there are no drivers available for this particular mouse. I should have checked though. Can't use it on the home machine.2. On Windows the left and right main buttons aren't remappable, although there is no good reason for them not to be. This makes ambidextrous mousing impossible. Can't use it on the work machine.3. The installer CD doesn't support Windows 2000 Pro. I had to go to Logitech's site (not really up to Microsoft's standards) and download an installer. It wasn't a Windows 2000 specific installer, so I'm wondering why the installer on the CD is OS specific.I'm going to stick with Microsoft for work and get a Mighty Mouse from Apple for home.

I'd give it less, but it only goes to one.
All I can say is, write your own d*** songs. Kashmir is one of the greatest songs of all time, and this just makes a mockery of it. I can't believe that Jimmy Page would actually consent to doing this. This terrible. No two ways about it. It takes a great song, and turns it into garbage. Now people think Led Zeppelin stole it from Puff Daddy! Puff Daddy is giving Led Zeppelin a bad name. MAKE IT STOP!!! NO MORE!!! PLEASE!!!

Terror in the Dastardly Clutches of the Black Castle of Death
Many many years ago, I was so inspired by this film that I wrote and then filmed, with the aid of some college buddies, a sequel to Bloody Pit of Horror, featuring a relative of the Crimson Executioner who called himself the Amber Avenger. My film was not great, however it did pay homage to what I thought was one of the greatest horror...forget that...One of the greatest MOVIES ever made. It had everything. Well everything except a good script and excellent acting. The Crimson Executioner is probably one of my favorite film characters of all time. Sure it was stupid, but this film was fun. The fodder for the bad guy were horrible...You had to cheer for the Executioner. What would make this film better? A sequel!!!.. It screams for a sequel. It screams for a viewing. Watch it! Savor it! Love it! How could the Academy overlook this one?

Not as good as it could have been
Bloatware. The "artists" spent their time and energy making some pretty graphics that will challenge your video card, and frustrate your internet connection if you have anything less than state of the art. As far as game play, step backward regarding on-line playing. Serious lag even with a high speed connection. No way to communicate effectively with other players and hard to turn off the audio to enhance performance. Starcraft Brood War(a 4 year old game) is superior. The AI is less than top notch. And forget about the QA people actually getting the bugs out. Maps have all sorts of bugs, and for an upgrade, try to import older C&C; maps?Where are specification on unit performance? It trial and error to figure out ranges and weapon effectiveness.EA games seems to want to "challenge everything" except producing a top notch game. I was disapointed by this expensive add on product.My recommendation, hold off and get Zero Hour on the cheap.

Disappointed
I saw these in an office supply store. I had been using Velcro to hold my cell phone. I bought two of these pads. Being brand new I figured they would hold even better right out of the package. I placed it on my dash (you can only place it on a flat part-any slope and stuff falls off)! Well, I wiped off my dash with a dry cloth like it says. It held for a few minutes. I thought, why is this so loose? So I looked at the bottom and it appeared to have some dust particles on it. I wiped the surface again & washed the pad with soap & water to make sure it was clean. Remounting it, I then laid my phone on top of it and headed for a 200 mile trip. With the sun beating down on my dash, the pad became so loose that I ended up placing it on my leather passenger seat (it says don't use on leather! - who has a car that doesn't have leather? I think my dash is vinyl though. Anyway, the sun ruins any stickyness it had and I gave up on it. Back to the Velcro!

TERRIBLE!!!!
I only gave this one star because it looks nice on a counter but is totally WORTHLESS!! I will never buy Black and Decker again. After using this product for a week, the toast feature stopped working. I contacted Black and Decker and was told to return the plug (as proof of purchase) and to pay $5 for a replacement. I didn't think this was fair but didn't want to be out the money for the oven so I did. I promptly receieved a new oven and it worked for one day!! It stopped working after toasting one piece of bread. I contacted Black and Decker again and this time they blamed it on me and said that I was probably not using it correctly and they would not correct it again!! I couldn't believe how TERRIBLE I was treated. I will never purchase any of their products again and tell everyone I can about the poor customer service I receieved. BEWARE!!!!!!

Thats not what cheese tastes like
Its ground too fine.. I inhale it when chewing and it burns my airway. Also the flavor is very artificial, salty, and strong. Tried on veggies too. It just tastes so much more like fake flavoring than anything else. If I closed my eyes, I would never guess this was supposed to be a cheese flavor.I like Molly McButter brand better. Its more flaky than dusty, the flavor more closely resembles cheese (or ranch or whatever). I pop the corn, spritz with a bit of aerosol oil, and sprinkle. Helps it stick. I probably wont buy this one again. I had that same overly salty, too finely ground dusty problem with Reese's brand too.

Re:Music for the Native Americans
So-called"fusion music" is rarely successful. We have all heard more bad "jazz fusion' than one cares to remember. Only in the hands of a Master is magic made. Well, Robbie Robertson has proved that he is exactly such a capable Master. In this case, he has crafted an interweaving of his popular rock /song-smithing style with genuine Native American musical elements, both vocal and instrumental, that resonates deeply in the soul. This is truly beautiful, powerful fusion music. Robertsons' own Native American heritage takes him deeper in yet. After many listenings, it only looms larger in the Masterpiece category. This music is especially rewarding on a high quality stereo playback system. Turn it up to the right level , listen with focus, and a spiritual experience may well accompany the musical glory. As they say, simply stunning.

wimpy
The first book was wonderful. The second was good; not great, but good. The third was just so much wimpy mush. The main character, Ash, was great in the first book because she was strong and smart. She saw the flaws in others and was very perceptive. She was kind and gentle without being a fainting doormat. In the second book she is still pursuing her goal in a non "oh, my goodness" manner and the history of why she is the way she is, is great and takes up a 1/3 of the book. She is naive and innocent, but still an interesting character. In the third book where she gets her memories back, it seems like she looses her spine and her smarts. She seems to relie way too much on a man saving her. Granted, it is a middle-ages setting, but still, after all she has been through, she should be tougher, not weaker. The prithees and thous do bug after awhile, the author could have done less or not at all. Over all the book is worth skimming over to see how the trilogy is tied up but not worth buying.

This movie is boring at times.
Well, the title explains it. The title is extremely pointless. Why? Why? Why? Why did Toho have to make such a stupid film???! There are some changes they should have made. First, aliens. Why aliens? It is waaaay to corny. Second, Ghidrah. Way did Toho make Ghidrah look like he was a drunken elf? Ghidrah didn't have to shake his legs, heads, and wings uncontrolably! And third, MAKE GODZILLA AND THE OTHER MONSTERS GOOD GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would've given this movie five stars if Godzilla wasn't good! That mistake made the rest of the Showa series dumb. In the later movies, Godzilla acts more like Barney than a giant monster.

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!
You all it's been a very long time since I read a book that literally had me laughing out loud. I do a vast majority of my reading on the way to work, and on the way home. I know that I was disturing others while cracking up on the bus, but I couldn't help myself. I mean all through the book this author is halarious. I have never encountered an author that has such a play on words.The Whitfield sisters start out as little girls, and they were funny then. What I really appreciated about the three of them is their closeness. They were tight, and if you tampered with one, you tampered with them all. I've just learned there's going to be sequel to this book. I can't wait.I highly recommend SHAME ON IT ALL. Especially for times when you want to entertain yourself. Buy it, you won't regret it.Keep up the good work, Zane, and thanks for the laughs. You're my new friend.

Reader
This book was just okay for me. I am now reading the other part to it, "Anyone Who Has a Heart," and I am getting the same effect. The book drags on and on. It is to the point where I just want to get to the end of the book. Nikai is not very strong and it is not like she is naive. She has a job but it is taking her a year to save $500. She is living with her man and he is cheating (which she knows about it) but doesn't confront him about it or even accepts it for herself. It is like she is just moving around the situation. Rob is a mess in himself. I don't understand his whole part in this book. The ending of it seemed rushed with Karen's confession and it doesn't really tell what is going on with Rob. I don't think the author really dealt with any of the issues that she wanted to explore in this book.

Easy going.
I just received the BEFSR41 last week. Had it hooked up in 15 minutes. I use Verizon DSL, and my existing network setting were the same as required by the router. Plugged the cables and the box in, checked the router settings (no changes needed), rebooted the 4 PC's (Two on XP, two on Me), and made sure email and internet connections worked. They did. I have not had any of problems another reviewer had with getting to some web sites. Everything works as expected. I bought this to isolate my LAN from the internet (WAN). I was using a simple hub, but that put me at risk with hackers, even with a firewall, since I wanted to share files and a printer between my PCs. Now, my router gives me my own internal IP addresses that the hackers cannot see. They beat on the router, not my network.

I'm ashamed of myself
I haven't watched Family Guy on TV in quite a while. I just don't have time on sunday nights. After watching these episodes on dvd, I'm simply ashamed of myself for continuing to support this show. I used to enjoy this show simply for cheap laughs. But sadly, cheap laughs have been overshadowed by Seth Mcfarlane's agenda.South Park is a message show. The Simpsons is often a message show. But Family Guy has always been fast moving, dirty, and funny. Now it's fast moving, dirtier, occasionally funny, and preachy.I get it Seth. You're an athiest. You're a Democrat. You hate the government. Now let's get back to making people laugh. Or at least make an intelligent, substantial argument, rather than simply spitting in the general direction of those you disagree with, or making jokes about Laura Bush getting scraped.To the fans: IF YOU WANT THIS SHOW TO GET BETTER, JUST DON'T BUY THIS DVD!!!! It's that simple. Don't buy vol. 7 either. I know I won't.

Still a pain in my neck...
I suffered terrible whiplash back in 1997 in an auto accident and have struggled for years with neck pain. After much searching I found the most relief I have ever felt. I began sleeping with a horse-shoe-shaped neck roll filled with bean-bag-chair-like stuffing purchased in an airport gift shop.When I spotted this pillow it seemed to be made out of basically the same materials... so I ordered it. I admit I was quite the skeptic... So when I received this I hung onto the packaging; "just in case"... one month turned into 2, then 3... I threw the packaging away ...You may have noticed that this was a 1 star review so here goes... I purchased this pillow in May of 2009... I am writing this review in October of 2009. I have had this pillow for only 5 short months and already it is worn out! It flattens when I place it under my neck and I wake up all night long chasing it around my bed. I am going back to the $12 neck roll from the airport! Don't waste your money... I did!!

...go figure
It seems that all these "wonder" products work wonders for everyone but me. I was so hoping this product would make my hair shiny and healthy like the gals they use on their infomercials. It didn't. I'm 1/2 Japanese and my hair has always been super thick but since I've gotten older, my hair texture has definitely changed. It's coarse and frizzy and kind of wavy (and not wavy in a good way, either!). Also, the smell...to put it mildly I don't care for it...at all. It smells like really strong cherry cough syrup mixed with Vicks VapoRub. I'm sure I would like the other scents but don't want to pay for more if it's not going to give me the results they claim. I'm wondering if you only get the results if you blow dry your hair after shampooing, because I don't dry my hair. If anyone knows, I would appreciate any info. Thanks a bunch!

I expect more from an everyday bowl
A review in short.I purchased 12 of these a couple of years ago. They arrived half broken. Amazon promptly sent me another order. I now had about 18 bowls. They are attractive and great for salads and eating cereal. I like that they are deep so stuff like soup and cereal milk don't slosh out as I balance the bowl on my chest in bed.I am now looking for more bowls as I only have about 6 left. These are not tough bowls and easily break and chip. My mother gave me four glass bowls 20 years ago and I have all four still. Changing environments to be sure, but those four remain unchipped, albeit a bit scratched up, but fully functional. They shared the cupboard with these bowls.These are an everyday kind of bowl and are not sustainable in that fashion. My hunt is on for something more Pyrexy and durable...

Funny predictible uber-horror
When I rented this film I really didn't expect much out of it, but surprise surprise, it didn't suck as much as I thought it would. Now I'm as big a fan of Pat Morita as the next guy, but his preformance as the only "big name" talent is really disapointing. He has a showdown with the snake. A THIRTY FOOT SNAKE!! vs. PAT MORITA. DOES THAT SEEM TO MAKE SENSE!!!?? But hey what do you expect. The film's acting was tolerable, some of the effects were ok, but for the most part a big rubbery looking snake with an awckwardly positioned neck, and the token *SHOCK* shots used to make the film "scarrier" make you jump a bit, but oly in releif that you don't have to b on the lookout. The ending was also a huge dissapointment. You never find ut what happens to some of the characters and it practicaly screams at you, "LOOK OUT FOR KING COBRA 2" ut what do you expect from straight to video horror. ^.^

Get organized
This is pretty much what I expected. Nice storage for organizing your drill bits. I have several bit sets acquired over the years. Most were not complete from the smaller ones breaking off, so I had to go from set/case to set/case to look for the right size. Now I've thrown away all those set/cases and put all the bits in this chest. My one stop spot for bits. When I need more of a certain size I just look for a set of just the size I'm missing and replenish the drawer in this chest. You may want to pick up a bit size template to determine what size your bits are. Once you take them out of the drawer you can forget where they go back.

Horrible book with lack of information
This book is the worse book ever. It only has 50 pages to prepare you for the pharmacy technician and the rest are just exams. For those who have pharmacy experience, this book would be okay for you but for those like me who doesn't have any and would like to self-study, then it isn't for you. Honestly, the book is just a complete waste of money. It is only 170 pages or around there while the other books are over 400 pages. The book is also useless in preparing for the exam because I didn't pass by using this book. It does not mention drug interactions or touch on it unlike Del Mar's book. This book is a piece of crap. Do not buy and waste your money. You will not pass the exam if you buy this one because it barely expands on the topic. I recommend Del Mar's book because it has the most pages ever (600 pages.) Best book there. Just don't buy this one.

Sleazy
A big disapointment. I should have known after hearing Jones being interviewed on NPR. She came off as self-promoting and sensationalistic. I had hoped that the book would be better. It isn't. Her prose is sterile and overly focuses on direct quotations where a summary would do fine. Beyond that it reads like a literary version of the Jerry Springer show. It's no wonder that none of Diane Whipple's friends or family members would cooperate with Jones. They probably smelled her coming a mile away. Reading Red Zone is something akin to passing by a an accident on the highway and gazing at the carnage as you pass by, it makes you feel sleazy for having done so. Clearly Jones is a woman with no shame.

It is absolutely wonderful and hard to put down.
This book is outstanding. I am in the process of reading it now and I can't put it down. I love how I'm on the edge of my seat through the whole thing. I never quite know what will happen next. After reading For the Roses I was in love with Cole. I was disappointed when she wrote about the other brothers in the Roses trilogy and seemed to forget about Cole. The trilogy was terrific, but my favorite will always be Cole. When I heard about this book coming out, it couldn't come out fast enough. I am truly enjoying this book. I am almost through with it. I have about 100 pages left to read, and I started reading it this morning. As I said, I can't put it down. I know that you will enjoy it just as much as I am.Becky

Not what you think
This might be great if you have young kids who aren't very familiar with the classic bugs bunny cartoons. This "special" attempts to link 3 or 4 (I can't remember now) old cartoons together with a very weak premise. Bluntly, its awful. The segments are hacked together and in some parts redubbed. The only saving grace is original voices. But its just not anything a true looney tunes fan would want to see. Now that I've seen it, I will avoid it at all costs. What I would truly love, is a collection of those great old 'halloween' shorts. Mad Scientist, Witch Hazel, Count Bloodcount, etc etc. If this is what you would like too--I suggest you continue to wait along with me. Don't waste your time/money on this.

Very disappointed
I bought this book thinking that it would be like some of her other books, but I agree with some of the other readers. This book was like reading it over and over again. Had the same sentence over and over just in different sequence order. It was a childish story. We had a death in a family member and it's been over 7 yrs and we still cannot get over it. My ex-sister in law took her more than 5 yrs to move on and start dating again. So this book is not even close to reality. If you love someone so much, it doesn't take you just 4 months to get over that person. I do not recommended this book to anyone to read. Very Very disappointed in Daneille Steel for even thinking in publishing it. She must of had a mood swing or something.

Not as bad as it's made out to be.
All of this is but opinion, but this installment of the Hitman series is not worth ignoring. Garth Ennis' writing is great on an emotional level, if you just take it as it comes. It causes Tommy and Natt to examine themselves, which is interesting. It's also interesting to see the lengths the SAS guys go to to get their hands on Tommy and Natt. The ending is good in execution. Although you can easily see it coming, it doesn't matter. The intensity of it is great, if you think about it as a movie (Visualize, man!). The only reason I give this 4 stars is that it isn't as good as Ace of Killers (Which I feel is the best in the Hitman series.), and the Irish slang is a bit hard to get around at times. Quick commentary: It would seem that DC has ceased to print the further adventures of Hitman in TPB format. It's a pity that it had to be so early in the series. Hitman fans should get together and tell DC we want the rest, just like how they published all of Preacher.

The Best Book Ever!!!
We bought this book for our daughter when she was 9 months old. She has loved it ever since. I can say without any doubt, this is her favorite book (she currently has 173 books). She loves it so much that we bought 3 copies of the pop-up version. One for her to play with & read on her own (this one has been glued back together 6 times now), one in good condition that we read to her & a spare just in case something happens to one of the others. Since we live in Singapore, we don't own a car, so we often take taxis or use the subway system. Depending on the time of day, it can take up to 40 minutes to get home. When she has her book, she barely even notices. She is now 15 months old & although she can't read the book, she mimics the sound effects I make when reading it to her at the same places I do them. This was a more than wise investment. We read it together & I believe she is really starting to understand the concept of having parents who love her "up the moon & back!"

Fits well, feels terrible
I had high hopes when I ordered the Sealy Best Fit 300 Thread Count Cotton Sateen sheets. My husband and I like the feel of 100% cotton, and were looking forward to finding a set that would fit our bed nicely. The fit of the sheets is great. Wraps around the whole mattress without coming off on the corners. The sheets felt wonderful in the package, but after the first wash, they were horrible! I even used fabric softener and it made no difference. It felt like they were a polyester blend, very scratchy. We decided to keep the sheets in our closet for 'emergencies' only and found some wonderful sheets at Target instead. They are the new bamboo sheets - very soft, wonderful fit (even better than the Sealy), and wash very well. Sealy has it right....they do have a good fit. Too bad they don't have the 'best feel'.

Had to Replace Light Engine First Month!
I recently purchased this TV. It worked great right out of the box. Until I noticed a Smudge on the screen? I tried to wipe it off, but it did not go away? I called Samsung and they sent a TV Tech. 3 days later. He found gunk on one of the mirrors inside the housing. He removed that gunk but, the smudge was still present. He ended up replacing the entire Light Engine ($800 Part). I didn't pay a dime for the entire repair. SAMSUNG HAS GREAT WARRANTY & SUPPORT!!! THEY EVEN CALLED ME LATER TO CHECK ON MY SATISFACTION OF THE REPAIR. This all happen within the first month of buying this TV.---4 out of 5 Stars for TV-----

NOT RELIGION BUT A WOMAN....
This book is a slow moving but easyreading that helps keep your interest. At times things getexciting but it is not a pageturner. The same old competitionbetween the CIA and the FBI forfunding and recognition gets a bittiresome. Faith Lockhart is a legal assistant to Danny who hiresLee to follow someone to start thelife and death of Agents (take your pick) as they betray and/orshoot their way up to fame or life's end. It involves Congessmembers vieing for the best gravyjobs after retirement. Someone gets killed by accident, another gets shot by taking the bullet tosave a friend. The reader keeps on reading this to the end and isassulted by a "They lived happilyever after" line you won't wantto hear. Baldacci usually writestoo long a story and has troublebringing them to a close. Thatgives it a 3 1/2 star but it isBaldacci so I gave it a 4. The line "And so he did." actually rates it a 3. This is a book from1999 so don't rush to read it.

Wow!....Unbelievably bad!
I really enjoyed "Sin City", so when I saw that this movie was also written and directed by Frank Miller, I was really looking forward to it.FORTUNATELY.......... I only rented it.I don't know whether they intentionally set out to produce a camp movie, but if that was their goal, they even failed at THAT. This thing's so bad it makes the 60s Batman TV show look like the apex of artistic achievement.The script was absolutely absurd. I kept thinking of "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"... a movie so bad it actually developed a cult following. This wreck was right in there: AWFUL dialogue; overblown and overwrought; so bad words fail me. They haven't invented adjectives to suit this disaster of a movie.And the "acting"?........ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! If you could call it that! A bunch of performers striking poses and mouthing words in absolutely the WORST kind of expository manneristic exhibitionism!Oh. My. God.Avoid this train wreck at all costs.

poor product inventory.
I ordered this pin nailer on March 24. I had to wait for nails. when I finally got some, I tried them and discovered the the nailer didn't work. I returned it. Amazon said they were out of stock. Then they informed me that it would be delivered the end of May. Now it says I will receive it by 5/31-6/13. That gave them a two week edge. Today is 6/13 and it hasn't shipped yet. The page for this item says "not available". REALLY!. Why Amazon would list items for sale that they don't have and don't know when they are going to get is beyond me. Doubt that I will got to them again. I had to rate this item as a "1" because they don't have "0".

The Day We Fall in Love is a groovy song!
. . . And this is a groovy album. I loved it from the moment I first heard it. Every song is a gem, including, no matter what anyone else says, "The Day We Fall in Love." If narrated songs (or Davy) bore you, then you probably won't like it. But for everyone who enjoys narration and Davy (as I do), they will find it a treasure. The bonus tracks are great, too. I love hearing all the different versions of "I Don't Think You Know Me" on various albums. This one boasts a version with Peter singing lead, and Micky and Mike (my two faves) on backup. And the goofy version of "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" makes me crack up! The early version of "I'm A Believer" is wonderific, too. I even think I like it better than the version that was put out as a single! You will luv this album, I guarantee you.

HORRIBLE! Lasted about 6 weeks!
At first I was pleased with these earbuds. They fit well in my ears (with a little turning & tweaking) and the sound was AMAZINGLY better than those Apple earbuds. However, within 6 weeks I somehow tore off one of the foam ear pads & it is nowhere to be found. Perhaps it is lodged in my ear. (That's a joke.) I wore them one morning on my walk. Things were fine. I picked them up the next morning to go on my walk & the foam was gone. It is literally torn off. Sony doesn't want to hear about it. It's way too late to return them. Thankfully, they were not expensive.I just wish I could give them less than 1 star.

i want my stinkin 2.99 back
If you want to waste your time watching the stupidest piece of ass film ever made, then this is your movie. idiocracy doesn't begin to describe Mike Judge's apparent descent into life as an imbecile. He used to write, right? He drank his own coolaid on this one. Really, couldn't stand it. Couldn't even get twenty minutes into it. Awful. Lame. Pathetic. Some of the cartoon effects are mildly amusing. I want my stinkin 2.99 back. Really.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This is a horrible game! The graphics are horrible and blurry, the horses are verrrrrryyy slow and they dont turn, and its really boring! The dressage is boring and slow, the cross country is impossible because the horses dont steer, and the stadium jumping a pain. If you want a good game, get Equestriad 2001. It has real-life jump courses, you can pick your country, and horse/rider (they're real people and horses too!) and it's really exciting and fun! It has everything this game has only 10 times better! The graphics are amazing, the horses are life-like, and there are a lot of courses. It's not available on amazon.com, but I've seen it in horse catalouges and tack shops. Let's Ride is only fun to kids 7-under, everyone else get Equestriad 2001! :)

Lack of Consistency
This book is one of the weakest collections of stories I've ever read. Painted Leaf Press has a habit of throwing out half-baked stories. It's called Editor. Get one. Many of these stories had great potential, but lacked execution. Others were just cliche. Emanuel Xavier paints a nice story. but his words on the page are flat, flat, flat. The strongest, most complete stories are by a group of San Francisco writers: Jaime Cortez, Joel Villalon and Al Lujan. They have even stronger pieces in another book that came out a year after this one: Virgins, Guerrillas and Locas. You'd be better served getting that book instead. it has a better cover too.

Not worth the trouble
After using two old Zircon stud sensors for several years I decided to give this one a try because of the AC detection feature. Bad decision on my part. I wrongly assumed that the stud detection feature would be as good as on the older models. Not even close. Brand new out of the packaging, I tried to install a wall cabinet in the garage this morning. Even trying it in both modes (stud scan or deep scan), the thing was just not able to consistly pick up up studs. I even brought it into the house to try on other walls. I'm not sure if the AC feature is having some effect on the stud sensing capability, but I really don't care now. I ended up having to go back to the old fashioned way (hammer tapping, trial nail, and tape measure). I'm really disapointed in this Zircon.

Why do they do this?
On first impression this appear to be a great collection. It contains 4 classic movies by Jet Li. The picture transfer are good and sometimes above average. However, the original soundtracks are completely removed and changed. It would be nice if they have just voice over the Cantonese to English but retained the great and wonderful original music and soundtracks. Take Defender. The original movie was released as Bodyguard from Beijing. It stars a talented pop singer in Hong Kong, Christy Chung and she contributed to the soundtracks by recording a few wonderful songs herself that enhanced the story line and provided appropriated musical theme in the background. In this collection all you will hear is dub over American voice actors and some basic `special effects' like guns and things breaking up. The whole production is now very cheesy and cheap. To make matter worse all 4 movies are similarly butchered.

Daughter Loves It!
This was purchased for my six year old daughter who is one of Micheal Jackson's biggest fans. She and I love this DVD. It contains never before seen footage of some of the music videos. Of course video quality is impeccable. No more grainy you tube videos (for those songs at least). I only gave it 4 stars because the DVD omitted "Smooth Criminal and They Don't Care About Us". We enjoy sitting together and singing along with Micheal while he performs. She knows all the words to every song. Seriously! She knew them before I purchased the DVD. I told you that she's one of his biggest fans.

Stay Away!
I have this router and just bought the Linksys WRT54G to replace it. BEFORE you buy the D-Link 624 go to DSLREPORTS and read the D-Link Forum section. As for all the trouble, I thought it was me. I get constant disconnects (rebooting router) I can't get my PocketPC with a Socket WLAN card to connect and my configure screens won't paint correctly. This router is a TURKEY. Those that got it to work are LUCKY! I'm on firmware 2.42, which is current as I write this. I originally bought the 624 (at Costco) because my 614+ fritzed out. Why did I even waste my time. I learned about the DSLREPORTS forum by accident, didn't know of it before I purchased. The 624 is going back.COMMENT: To the person who didn't find this review helpful, what would you have liked me to say? I hope you enjoy your new DI-624!

get parts 1&2 for full impact
Cuban salsa is a awesome style. you really want to learn this stuff. ignore the short falls of this dvd, because they correct everything by the second dvd, and it all comes together.the first video is kinda shakey on its own. the moves are good, but as other writers have noted, the female teacher leads from the back the whole time.the Rueda calls are not a bad idea. In Rueda the moves are called out like square dancing. so if youre super new, you dont have to think ahead, which can be intimidating at first. having the moves called out ahead is good for new leads, who are just getting the muscle memory.so, try to ignore the female teacher is leading from the back. the male teacher is a good lead - watch his movements. he just seems a little camera shy or whatever. in teh second video, the guy is much stronger. he talks through his own parts and does a great job leading a freestyle at the end.

Perhaps my favorite book, ever
I saw this book for the first time on a clearance rack. I picked it up and must have spent 20-30 minutes in complete awe. I didn't have my wallet so I left without buying it and came back the next day. Gone. I spent the next 2 years looking for it (couldn't remember the name). 30 book stores. Countless hours online searching. Finally found it at Hennessy and Ingells in Santa Monica. Worth every minute.It really might be the most incredible photographic odyssey I've ever seen. It's just an absolutely brilliant piece of art. Hard to imagine how spectacular it is without seeing it. Stunning. Simply stunning.

This is a great LCD!
This being the first LCD monitor that I have bought, I was anxious to find a good, flawless screen. I found it with this model. This monitor is huge and looks great! It is a definite upgrade to my KDS 17" CRT. There are no dead pixels and I am happy about that. That had to be my biggest fear when buying this. There is a very small amount of "bleed" on a totally dark screen, but it is not enough for me to notice during everyday tasks. I did have a weird problem when upgrading to Windows Vista, however. Half way through the install of Vista, the screen would go black and I could not see for the rest of the install. I don't know if should blame that problem on the monitor or the video card. I assume it was a video card issue after researching it a bit and using another video card fixed the problem. I would buy this monitor again. Did I mention that it is huge? Great for working with graphics programs. ;)

Feedback on the book
This book talks about Roald Dahl when he was young. He took part in the Second World War and this book deals with the time he went flying with the RAF in the war. Everyone dislikes going on wars but Roald Dahl enjoyed it. He thought that it was a free travel and it was interesting. He described all the interesting and exciting events happening to him. After three years of fighting and flying, due to the severe head injuries he had received when his Gladiator crashed in the Western Desert, he must on no account fly a fighter plane again and so went back home. I do not enjoy the story because I do not like wars. Wars are terrible and Roald Dahl described how he helped the others fight and how the others were shot and died. I felt upset when I read this book. I think this book is thick. The plot goes slowly and it makes the story boring.

No DRM compatibility?? Give Me a Break
I purchased my Memorex player a few days ago. First the pros to the item. The quality of the music is very good. That's it. Now the cons. The absolute worst thing about this item is that it does not play DRM wma files. In other words it doesn't play songs that you download legally from Napster, I-tunes, etc. This is absolutely ridiculous. Another is that the loading of the songs takes too long. Also the earphones are very ackward and cause pain to the ears if kept in to long. I took it back after having it for 2 days. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this player. Spend another 40 bucks and go with a RIO. Which by the way is a great player.

Deadly Silence?
Chip Brown's biography of Guy Waterman is a depressing read. It is also a fascinating, well written biography. Overall, I agree with the review posted here by Lawrence Hauser, which is excellent. In particular, I concur with Hauser's praise of the chapter on Waterman's son John.What most captivated me about Guy Waterman's story was his refusal to seek help, his belief that somehow his life was uniquely different. He seemed to live with all kinds of denial, including his alcoholism, even though he did manage to stop drinking. His ultimate denial had to do with his reason's for killing himself -- the argument that impending old age would be unbearable. 67 and in perfectly good health? Of course, the only health Waterman had was physical. His deep depression and inability to communicate emotionally with his wife suggest a gravely ill man. But Waterman, an otherwise very intelligent person, refused to seek help. As Brown tells it, Waterman's life was truly tragic.

I love this piece.
I've had this watch for about a year. I have a Rolex Sub and Rolex Thunderbird which do to sentimental value I don't wear much. My last watch was a Tag Professional which I decided not to spend 400.00 to repair. Again! I have always enjoyed a heavy watch and this fits the bill. It feels just like the ones I'm used to. It feels like you have a quality piece on your wrist. I set my watch my my cell phone and I kid you not when I say it has not lost a minute in 11 months. The chronographs are crap though. But I don't like the idea of having to unscrew the buttons anyway.But for a watch under 100.00 this is perfect. If you want a great looking watch that keeps great time then this is it.The reason I am only now writing this after 11 months, I'm buying my father one for Christmas.

Great, but a couple snags and advice
My box arrived somewhat banged up, but apart from a cosmetic scuff on one handlebar, it was OK. BUT, after 2 days I started hearing a noise, seemed to come from the interior of the pedals/gearbox, sounded like a loose object bouncing around. I was afraid I would have to ship it back. I called Schwinn, and the woman asked me to take the pedals off and see if I could reproduce the sound. I assured her, it was not the pedals. She said, "yes sir, now please take the pedals off". I did, and, it was the left pedal! Sounded just like the interior. Anyway, they will send me new pedals, so problem solved. Sounds like they have encountered this problem before.Also, I was frustrated by the inability to see the blue display screen, so I bought 2 doorstops, removed the standard mounting screws, and used "GOOP" adhesive to make the screen lean forward. Now I can read it! Someone at Scwinn did not do the Q.C. on that screen issue.Anyway, great bike, now I'm happy.

I only listened to the clips, not the whole cd.
It's coverbands who do sound a lot like Garbage. I am glad for the peeps out there who are puttin' out cd's. The band/s who recorded this cd are definately talented, but really did just do covers. No specific signatures or understood revamps. Plain old covers. The 'various artists' title could be seen as misleading. It's not anyone you've heard of yet. Note to band: hear me. I recall that 'Various Artists' did tributes to Tori Amos and Bjork.I almost bought them too, but they aren't fresh. Good tastes, but use your own recipe. love and luck

A mediocre mystery, likeable but nothing special
I thought I'd love the novel based upon the cover reviews. I really enjoyed the newlywed murders theme, and the beginning. The strange illness was needless fill. But to my disappointment the twists at the end were rather predictable. Honestly I had the surprise figured out sixty-five percent of the way though the story. Nothing new here to surprise me. At 39 yrs. old I guess I just want more from my mysteries. I wish I could say something more or better, but I cannot say I really liked this book.The characterizations of the women were obviously from a male viewpoint, but hardly realistic. Women are not as different from men as a man would like to believe. I felt the female roles were sorely lacking in reality.

Vince screws fans again
Vince is a genuis, but when it comes to releasing dvds, he's a joke. Wrestling Stars of the 80's looks good on paper, but where the hell is Randy Savage? Mr.Perfect? Million Dollar Man? Andre the Giant? Hart Foundation? British Bulldogs? Alright the list can go on and on. The matches people put matches going on the dvd, that arent even there. I was expecting the classic Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat match from Wrestlemaina 3 and when I saw it not on there, I was mad. I wanted to return it, but it was already opened. I decided to give the dvd a whirl, and it still has yet to impress me. Like Astpierre stated, should have been early 80's and late 80's instead of some great stars of the 80's. Some matches are good, but bad dvd overall.

Easy to read and understand, great for learning Python quickly
(This review is posted on behalf of my wife who had trouble with her amazon login.) I recently changed my job. My new company uses Python as the main technology. Before starting this job, I didn't know Python at all. The project I worked on was on a tight schedule. Fortunately I got this book and I can immediately starting writing code in Python on the first day. The book is written in a very easy to read and understandable way. It covers almost everything you need to know about Python. The "Core Tip", "Core Note" and "Core Style" sections are especially useful and helpful. They are not just for the Python beginner to develop good coding skills and habits. They are also very valuable advice for the people who already know Python. If you want to learn Python quickly or if you want to expand your Python knowledge, this is a book for you.

How Do You Give a Movie No Stars?
"MIB II" was the WORST film of 2002, hands down. "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" had more laughs. The actors walk through their roles and there is no joy in the film, which is sad considering how entertaining and original the first film was. There are no memorable lines, scenes, or jokes. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are just in it for the paycheck. Barry Sonnenfeld proves once again that his theory that shorter movies are better is pathetically flawed. This film is witless, hopeless, pointless. Plot? What plot? Visual effects? We recycled the first ones? And what happened to MIB headquarters? It used to be brimming with life. Now, it's a corporate mess. The movie rivals the Austin Powers and Bond films for shameless plugs. I would write a more coherent review, but there's nothing TO review. Do not rent, do not buy, do not view if you wish to keep your dignity intact. Lord knows I gave up mine when I payed 6 bucks to see this.

Headache-inducing fragrance
I read a lot of amazing reviews of this product before I bought it. It's made by a California company and the ingredients are almost all natural/herbal. So I thought "great, this is the perfect product for me!" Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the jar, I was assaulted by the extremely strong fragrance. This is a product made almost entirely of herbs of one kind or another, so it would probably be very smelly on its own (in a nice way!), but Bella B thought it would be a good idea to ADD fragrance (listed in the ingredients as "fragrance" -- what does THAT mean?). It's extremely strong-smelling, and the one day I tried it I had a headache all day from the fumes. Just awful. I am so disappointed that a product made almost entirely of natural ingredients would have such a strong unnatural fragrance added. I will never use this again. $20 down the drain.

wise and wonderful
Lovingly respectful yet far deeper than any tribute-album-schlock covers. Thankfully, it's not overdone, and features consistently sublime production triumphs, especially with regard to the tracking of the vocals. This got under my skin (in the best sense) almost instantly. Impressively, but not surprisingly, Sinead (unlike so many modern female singers) knows when to keep some of her vocal acrobatics out of the way. She plays to the source material while remaining true to herself. High points are the hypnotic VAMPIRES, DOOR PEEP and HE PRAYED. My only gripe? I feel she chose a few songs that really aren't suited to her range or choice of delivery (especially CURLY LOCKS.) Her whispery delivery caused me to strain to listen. This approach seemed odd given the right-from-the-get-go vocal punch and conviction of the originals or other versions. Oh, well, that's minor. It might take a few listens to REALLY get into, but. this is lovely, righteous heartfelt stuff.

My 65 LB Boxer Loves Diamond Naturals Beef and Rice
I was feeding my Boxer pup Nature' Recipe until he was about 10 months. With the bad economy, I was looking for a cheaper brand, that is a good quality of dog food. I found the good reviews on the Diamond Natural brand. I first purchase him the Chicken and rice, but he did not eat it very well, and my Boxer is not a picky eater. So, I decided to try the Diamond Naturals Beef and rice the next time. My Boxer, ate it so fast and was looking at me for more. The price at my local store is only $27.95 for a 40 lb. bag. I am so happy that I discovered this brand for my Boxer and my pocketbook is happy as well! I sometimes mix the Diamond can food for an extra treat for him! Gr8 dog food!

Not bad, pretty entertaining
If you like old campy films where the story line is built around the elicit sex scene, or the sex crime as in many of these films, I would recommend this disc. As indicated in the title, these are cult films - nothing main stream about these pictures which is refreshing. The movies span from 1970-1980, most in the mid 70's. There are some very different films here, some being fun and entertaining and a few that suck in my opinion. My favorites were Best Friends, The Teacher, and Trip with the Teacher, which is actually pretty violent/scary! Malibu High was disappointing, it sounded better in the description. I found both the stepmother and the sister in law (I think that was the title) to be a drag - very boring. The Pick Up was really freaky. There is a crazy tarot card girl and she will freak you out. I couldn't finish watching that one. For four bucks this is worth the money, and overall I liked it.
