Exciting but flawed -
Connelly is among the best of the contemporary, gritty hard-boiled school. Maybe even the best. For me, this was a very taut, well-paced thriller. The procedural element was excellent. I would give the book a 5 except for two things. First was the Brasher sub-plot, which I thought was going to be great, but ending up feeling psychologically invalid. What happens might have been made believable, but perhaps Connelly was afraid it wouldn't be surprising enough. Instead, I was angry. Secondly - the end failed. It might have pure emotional dynamite. Perhaps if the Brasher situation had been more believable, I'd have believed Bosch's final choice. But again, I just felt set up, that it was done for effect rather than emotionally inevitable for the character. Nonetheless, mystery writers of this caliber are difficult to come by, so the book still ranks high for what it does do well.

Pretty pictures, ugly book
If you want to say something is scientific, you have to let people look at what you're doing. You have to let them try for themselves. And if they show that what you're doing doesn't work, you need to be honest about it and admit it yourself. Dr. Emoto fails on each of these points.This book is fake. The scientists in What the Bleep agree that this work is not convincing at all. (The non-scientists are willing to accept it.)There's nothing wrong with fiction. There's nothing wrong with astrology. There's nothing wrong with this book. There is something wrong with calling it truth. That's ugly.

Hip Hop Classic
Common is superior on this very personal album. If you liked "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," then you'll probably like this one. In fact, Mrs. Hill blesses listeners with her beautiful singing voice on the hit "Retrospect for Life." I really got into Common after hearing "1999" off of "Soundbombing II"(another excellent album). This was worth the money and then some. His lyrics are on point, as always. This is a definite hip-hop classic in the tradition of "Illmatic," "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick," "The Art of Storytelling," "The Score," "Criminal Minded," "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," "Reasonable Doubts," and countless others. All of the songs(and the interludes!) are excellent, with unforgettable lyrics and background music. I highly recommend this cd. It is personal, intellectually stimulating, real, and true to hip-hop.

gypsy curses
Story could have been exciting but somehow wasn't. I'm sure some authentic gypsies somewhere would be horrified with the stereotype presented here. The "curse" revealed was bad but not that bad and led to a frustrating romance - of sorts - between Adriana and Edward. Description from back cover:Adriana was overjoyed to be living at last at magnificent Castlereagh Manor. But her happiness swiftly turned to despair. The castle was isolated and lonely. She was allowed no visitors. Her beloved aunt had become morose and silent. Riding was her only pastime, but Sir Edward Devereux, her handsome, brooding guardian had forbidden it. A terrible curse lay on the castle and its family - this she knew. Then one day, against her guardian's orders, she rode out to the Black Heath and there she met the cruel and evil Gypsies. Suddenly she knew the true meaning of terror . . .

Superhuman singing
Sutherland and Pavarotti and the two greatest singers of this and any century. This is their prime! This is their best work. 1966 is the year. And Dame Joan has such a fresh and clear dramatic coloratura soprano voice. And she can do anything she wants to with it. A high D here, an E there. And so many high Cs that one loses count. The coloratura and trills are stunning. At one cadenza she goes to a E above high C. And she also holds I think 5 high E flats in the opera. That's the High E flat above high C. Pavarotti has that 9 high Cs in one aria. This is the best "Fille" around. And it's recorded in great stereo sound. The best rendition of a bel canto comic opera I've got.Highest recommendations.

Very impressed!
I am VERY impressed with this motor. I used it to replace the motor in our Bemis Essick Air 600 Series air humidifier. The motor that came with our Bemis Essick Air 600 Series air humidifier was junk. It made a lot of noise and failed within a year. After my 2nd motor from Essick Air, I decided to go a different route. I bought this motor, put it in our air humidifier and am thankful that I did. This motor is perfect! It is very quite. It even had the correct connections for our humidifier, so I did not need to splice or solder. I am extremely satisfied with this motor! Thank you.

Don't waste your money
Retail price showed too high. Actually costs 1/4 retail at a local store. They put high retail price to make you think you've got a bargain. NOT! And definitely not the REAL Sabatier from France. Made in China. Blade broke off while cutting carrots. Shotty block where none of the knives fit in right. Extra slot for? Save your money and buy some real knives. I can't believe I paid $40 for this set.

Alan Paton: an acquired taste
It's been almost 30 years since I read Cry, the Beloved Country and I'd forgotten how strangely Paton structures his books. This novel gives us some excellent insights on how sick a society South Africa was in the 1950's. However it's an extremely difficult read; shifting between past and present tense, dialogs were the author doesn't explain which characters are speaking, a great many references that are unclear to readers who know little about South Africa. Another reviewer called the novel "docu-fiction". That's exactly what it is. It has no protagonists. We learn very little about who these characters are and have trouble caring about them, aside from the grief inflicted on them by hateful Afrikaners. This was Paton's last novel. He was pushing 80 when he wrote it. He still had plenty to say. His ideosyncratic story telling detracts from the message.

No chart software and not available on site
I just received my book after waiting 2 months. It was supposed to include chart creating software. There is nothing included with book. I have a sticker on my book: Now with an on-line chart calculator! [....]. I went to the link and it's the publishers website and takes me to the book with the option to purchase. I searched the site: on-line chart calculator. No results. Amazon, Rowman and Joanna Woolfolk have misrepresented. My purpose for purchasing was for the software. Trust me, I will be blogging and telling everyone I know.

Arkangel's Recording of Othello Disappoints
I bought this recording with high hopes. What better complement to reading Shakespeare than hearing him, right? Well, not with this recording. The cast is made up of "distinguished actors," the insert proclaims, but it's obvious that these actors haven't done Shakespeare since they were in junior high school. Nor have they improved since then: none of the actors has any feel for the Shakespearean line. The speaking is stiff and mechanical, and half the time it sounds like a Monty Python farce! When there are no visual effects to distract us, low-quality acting really sticks out. For audio recordings, you need the best voices. Too bad Arkangel didn't realize this. My advice? Grind up these CDs and use them to fertilize your nasturtiums.

Stupid!!!!!
Ok! This movie was one of the worst movies I have seen in my life! It had a horrible plot that was just plain BORING, great actors that failed miserably, not fun to watch, very little action, etc. etc. This is not a family film! Children between ages 3-10 will get incredibly bored and there is some bad language anyway, so you can just tag it as "not for little kids". I have no idea how this movie got Academy Awards?!?!?! I mean, it was soooo stupid, I stopped watching it about halfway through. At some parts, it did not even feel like a movie! Steven Spielberg may be a good director, but he failed miserably on this dumb sequel. This is just a piece of Hollywood junk. After I watched it, I went to bed thinking, "What the he11 did I just watch!?!". One guy commented, "My kids loved it!". Dude, are you joking?

Amazing!
I bought this book on a whim because I was interested in Spanish cuisine. I didn't know anything about it but figured with over 300 recipes I could find something I liked. Every recipe I have made has been fantastic. I found the dishes very easy to make even if they involved a lot of steps. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The smoked almonds I had actually made before with a different recipe and had so so results. The recipe in this book was much more clear. We bought an ice cream maker to make the best ice cream ever(honey cinnamon!). My parents also have the book and after eating the ice cream they bought an ice cream maker! I like that it combines traditional and modern cuisine. A must for the serious cook.

Starts out ok, but doesn't last long
When I first tried out this GPS, I was quite happy with it. It was very simple to use, easy to learn and really just plug and go. It got us halfway to Big Bear from LA, but then got us lost because the freeways had closed. I found it to be accurate in some places, and truly not in others. It froze up quite a few times, and wouldn't turn on SEVERAL times, only to turn on a minute later. The time it takes to start up is fine, only about a minute and you're already "navigating." However, sometimes it just lags and, again, freezes up. Had I written a review the first day I got it, I would have given it at least 4 stars for the ease of use. Now that I've had it a week, I'm returning it, and am going back to using mapquest. It's just not worth 300 something dollars. Perhaps I'll try another GPS system when we're taking another trip, but for now, this one is definitely going back.

Great Bluetooth but will not stay in my ear
I purchased the Samsung WEP200 after returning a Motorola bluetooth. People could not hear me clearly with the Motorola, but could with the Samsung. The Samsung headset works perfectly. No problem hearing people and vica versa. The reason I gave it a four instead of five...I cannot keep it in my ear when I am walking. Okay while driving in the car, but just the motion of walking bounces it out of my ear. I tried the earhook, but it does not help. All I have to do is brush my hair away from my ear and it is dislodged. There is not really any clear directions on how the piece is suppose to fit in your ear...perhaps that would help. There is a picture of how the ear loop should look but no explanation for what part of the ear it is suppose to be catching on. Great bluetooth, but the ear piece design needs work.

Wish I could give 0 stars if I could
This is, with out a doubt, one of the worst d20 books I have ever seen. It is so bad, that you would laugh at it, if you weren't crying about the money you spent on it. Basically, you just take every bit of Open Game Content you can from other d20 sources and cram it all in one book. Change the Torg setting from a planet to a city. Torg blending the settings well, Cityscape, however, does it poorly.I'm not sure "old school" is a good way to describe the art. Repetitive might be better. You'll see the same pictures over andover agin. They'll be cropped, shrunk, enlarged, or mirrorer, but still the same.The races are unbalanced. There are no ECLs given for the race, even though some should have a very low ECL, and others a much higher one.Do yourself a favor and stay away. By the way, I couldn't help but notice that the positive review was made by one of the authors. How self serving is that?

Excellent
I have four cats that have used the same litter robot for the past four years. This unit is fantastic. I have only ever had a problem because of my own laziness-i.e. I didn't empty the base, add more litter or use the right kind of litter. With Four cats I empty every two days but can wait for 3 days if I don't use grocery bags (the litter liners sit deeper and can collect more waste). There is only a smell right after the cats have used it. I've moved this unit through three apartments, stored it for two months, transported it from SC to NY on the back of a truck and it still works LIKE NEW. I have one heavier cat that fits into the "globe" without any trouble. It is large but the benefit of having a fresh smelling, more sanitary apartment completely makes up for any size issues. If you follow the care instructions and use the right kind of (clumping) litter then this product will change your life! I don't spend all my time scooping litter, instead I can spend it petting my cats.

Shawshank cant be made twice
The best movie in every movie store. There can be no other movie that reaches the heights of this one. Its a true classic. For me its the measuring stick. I compare all other movies to this one. I give Godfather I and II a score of 9/10. 10 being shawshank. I simply cannot accept another movie that can be like the Shawshank. not possible.......Everyone who watches this is forced to give it 5 stars. Guys like me get a little carried away and 5 seems to short a number for stars if the movie is shawshank. I just get goose bumps everytime i hear morgan freeman delivering those wonderful dialogues. Man what a movie!

Why Can't I Rate at Zero Stars ?
Come On, People !!!! I checked this out because Amazon emailed me saying it was top rated.... ??? Could it be because one of the "songs" is entitled "Amazon" ? Sex appeal !? Not !!!! - unless you want to have sex with a monkey.... And for those who think this is the best album they've heard in a long time - my condolences ! Seriously, this recording is nothing more than a possibly somewhat cute girl chanting gibberish over some low-fi computer generated noise loops. True artists should be outraged, and they would if they could stop laughing. I recommend steering way way clear of this sorry excuse for music. Please, people - don't let big music money tell you what is good - we all suffer for it in the end.

A Disappointment for a Cather Fan
I came to this book with enthusiasm. My Antonia is one of my all time favorites and O Pioneers right up there. This was a major disppointment. The characters (2) were not developed nearly as well as the characters in Cather's other books. The characters make the Ms Cather's other works. The Archbishop particularly is never filled out. I found him very unsympathic. I enjoyed his Vicar and wished there was more of him. In fact at one point I thought it would be a much better book had he been the primary charcacter.As I neared the end of the book I came to this site to see if there was any historical basis to the book. At first I was pleased to learn that it is based upon the lives of these two characters. Then I became disappointed again. As a history or biography it is truly lacking.I find it hard to classify this as a "classic". I find it many grades below My Antonia and O Pioneers.

Motor burns out/Parts difficult to find.
Purchased the system 6 and hex 5 for the grandchildren about 2 years ago,Both units are good for a few small fish and the bio system does a good job. The pump motor is starting to actup. Needs a replacement.(hex 5)Can't complain at least it ran 2 years. The system 6 I have replaced the pump unit twice in two years. Both time it just stopped and refused to work.(kept the water at the right level). They are a sealed unit so repairs are out. Marineland is of no help. Imported from China? The filters are just as hard to locate.If not for the internet and help from online suppliers You would end up tossing them out.As one other reviewer stated for the price, you would be better off with a 10-15 gallon conventional setup. Make sure you purchase products that have a good customer service and parts available. I don't recommend marineland.

Enough With Image!
I have had it! Enough with Melanie and Image! I'm sick and tired of books about Melanie and Image! Why did stupid old Image have to win? Wonder's Star should win. He's alot better than stupid Image!

Jigga's Gettin Better
You know what I enjoy Jigga! He has some great songs like Watch Me, Change the Game! .... only a couple good songs! But this cd has amazing beats and a nice flow! There's only one thing that makes this whole album! And that is in most songs he has little kids singing stuff! It should be all gangsta rap! That's what he needs to do!~ something that would make you want to put it in your ride and bump like Redman - Let's Get Dirty! I compare this album to the single Kurupt - It's Over! He's gettin better! at least no bling bling in this album!

Definitely NOT worth the money!!!!!
My son is 6 and loves the Teen Titans. This item was on his Christmas list as one of his "big" things. As I was putting it together "for Santa", I was very disappointed at how poorly it was made. The sections wouldn't stay together at all. The little rockets/missles barely shoot out of the thing. In the back, there is a trigger thing that is supposed to launch the little car. Well, it barely touches the car at all. Not only that, the instructions were bogus and not very clear. For the money, you'd think it had lights and noises etc... Nada. My son was really disappointed. So, if you're child is wanting this try to discourage it. My son still plays with it but it's really not worth it at all.

Nice shiny package for garbage
Now this is the ultimate collection for those people out there who still think that these films (at least the second and the third) are "intelligent" or "superior" or "philosophical".At least they have the guts to include a commentary track this time. Not by the Wachowskis, though. No surprising move. I know, let's do a commentary track by "philosophers". Let them explain these "films". We can't.The only saving grace are the other extras, I suppose. That's why I give this set two stars instead of the one I gave to the first DVD releases."Matrix Revisited", is it? Why didn't they revisit the script? Or the characters? Or the effects? Or the music?To all the people out there who haven't seen these fillums: don't let them fool you!

How To Increase Its Value
With TOPO, it makes a big difference if you copy the maps from the CDs to your hard drive. That results in a much faster and better experience. Directions for copying the maps to your hard drive are on the Topo web site. Some reviewers do not realize that.The digital maps are an extremely good value compared to paper maps!! Live Map Updates is a feature of version 4. You can download the current maps and street overlays for the quads you are interested in! And that is free.I have used versions 2, 3, and 4 of this product. Version 2 was excellent. Versions 3 and 4 are incremental improvements. On Amazon, it isn't always clear which version you are buying. Go by the dates -- version 4 was released in 2006.The software is excellent. My only complaint is that it is a bit complicated to install. I don't think it has ever crashed on me. I use it a lot, and discover new features all the time. It is not hard to learn. GPS support is great, in my experience.

Summer action fun
If you're looking for a movie that will a)change your life b)move you c)challenge your artistic senses, don't get this one. If you're looking for something that's designed purely for fun, here's your summer action flick ticket. It has beautiful people, stunning visuals, and lots of action. Cruise is just as fun as always. Thandie Newton is beautiful and talented. If you've seen Ever After, it's a trip to see Dougray Scott as the quite wicked villian. And I just adore Ving Rhames - my only problem with this movie is that he wasn't on screen enough! As for the plot? Who cares! The world was threatened and a dedicated team of adventurers came to the rescue. And they did it with flash and style.When I'm looking for plot and art I look for something along the lines of Shakespeare in Love. When I'm looking for thoughtless fun, I look for Mission Impossible.

HUGE letdown
Now, I'm a fanatic of Rainbow Six, Black Arrow was good except the lack of levels.Now this game is just horrible. They tried to futurize everything about it with the goggles, and the guns. One gun is an assault rifle looking thing that has a pistol attached to the side that you pull of for your secondary weapon. No where realistic like the other ones. If UBI soft wants to make a game they think is reviling HALO, name it something else other than Rainbow Six. You guys made this game striving for realism and squad combat. Now when your "elite soldiers" duck at every sound and you are holding some gun that doesn't exist, it is not a Rainbow Six game. UBI soft has really letdown their fans with this release. Those who like it have no clue what RB6 is all about. If you like the previous games DONT BUY THIS ONE. If you're into the futuristic stuff, i guess you could check it out....Hopefully the next will be better

What's up with this!?
What was up with this book! He finds some new dinosaur bones and writes a cheesy melodrama about its life. Loses her mate then spends her time finding a new one! Moves in with the sister, her kids, and her mate! All the story was was the terrible life and constant fear. Blood and guts everywhere. Always scavenging and then the mooch pteradatcyl. It was all nonsense on how a guy thinks dinosaurs are."Raptor Red woke this morning. The air was warm as she sniffed. Red found some fresh meat. Red left a dung pile, the standard communication in this jungle life, to tell her pack that food is here. The meat looks meaty and fresh."Dung piles to talk, aye? Sounds like a pretty messy place.

An almost great shredder
I purchased this shredder to replace a dying strip-cut shredder. After reading multiple reviews, I settled on this one on the basis of cost, strip size, and capacity. Overall, the shredder has proven quite reliable and reasonably quiet. I have not stress tested it with 10 sheets of paper, but it does fine with 5. What keeps me giving this a 5 star rating is two minor things. First, the feed sensor is only in the middle of the feed slot. If you put in something narrow, like an envelope, you have to pretty much center it to get it to feed. Otherwise, it will stop and there is no manual feed button to force it through. Second, the strips are just a bit wider than I would like. It would be better if they were 25% narrower. Still, it's a decent product for the money.

It'll make you think
I enjoyed the majority of the book. Glenn Beck makes you think about where we've come from, and where we're going. He shows us America is still the land of opportunity, and anyone can pull themselves up from the bootstraps . . . again. There were things that challenged me in my own life and I'm a better person for reading this book.I don't agree with Glenn's religion (Mormonism). If you've listened to his show (which I do), you probably wouldn't have guessed that he was a Mormon. He's not your typical talk show host . . . and you come away knowing that he does love America and all it stands for. Read it, be challenged, make a difference !

meaningless as hell
"Scary as Hell" is what the ads said. This is false advertising. The movie was not scary, probably because Danny Boyle fancied it to be more serious and weighty than your typical zombie flick. The problem is that it ends up being neither scary nor serious (when there's no real reason why it couldn't be both). The word that comes to mind is "pretentious." The movie's about 60 IQ points short of being able to pull off what it hopes to pull off. It's that same too-hip not-exactly-nihilistic pseudo-punk thing that's apparently the rage in England right now and is getting just way too tiresome. "Trainspotting" was great; this is BORING. It ISN'T meaningful or interesting, let alone exciting. What a waste of time - seriously. It's as profound as an eighth-grade creative-writing assignment.

They did it again!
Its so rare that you buy a CD and love every single song on it. They've done it to me three times now! I was a little afraid when I heard they let someone beside themselves produce Opaline, as they produced their first two. Greg Wattenberg did a great job. He does "get" their style. The songs are melodic, soulful, and really get to you. Its a bit more mellow than the first album, Pet Your Friends - and not as "abstract" as the second "So You Think You Know What Life's About". JR, the lead singer writes almost all their songs - backed by the music that the band puts to it - I think you'll find it to be one of the best CDs out there. There one of the best bands to come around in years. I'd say "ever", but that's my opinion. Let's leave that up to you!

The Only Reason to Buy a Game Cube.
My boyfriend's friend had this game and he brought it over to my boyfriend's parents' house. Now they're addicted to it and my boyfriend's mom got a Game Cube and Animal Crossing for Christmas. They play it constantly, even half a year later. I started watching them and now I'm addicted to just WATCHING it. I just bought a Game Cube and the game, even though I have a Playstation 2 and I know that there are very few games available for Game Cube and fewer that I want to play, and there are I think over a thousand games available for Playstation2. You can also play Playstation1 games on Playstation2 and dvd's and cd's. So why do I need a Game Cube?? For Animal Crossing! I think the game is THAT great. (And I'm a poor college girl who's in debt but willing to shell out $130 for the system and this game!!! My dad screamed at me!) So that's my user testimony, and I'm not gonna go into what the game is about because everybody else pretty much covered that.

If liking this album is wrong, i don't wanna be right
I'm a self proclaimed metal head, and in the past have been very vocal against emo/screamo bands. Well, I've been trying to broaden my horizons and a friend of mine recommended underoath. Naturally I was skeptical, but I was very pleasantly surprised with this CD. Is it absolutely amazing? no. Are they a revolutionary band full of new ideas? absolutely not. Do they make enjoyable music within an established genre? you bet your a$$ they do. My complaint, as with many screamo bands, is that all of the songs on here sound very very similar, so it's hard to distinguish between tracks. A boy brushed red living in black and white is probably my favorite track from the album.

My Favorite Game on the Wii
This game is great. I enjoyed it very much and when I finished it, there shorter missions to play. I am surprised that not many reviewers have noted this. The mini-missions are just as fun as the larger game. I liked that game because it was creepy and tense. The action did not wax and wane, as The Conduit tends to do. Each room or area of the game has the zombies coming for you. This is straight fun. One short mission is you hunting the zombies, and hey, they've got it coming. For the few that are on the fence about buying this game - do it, you'll love. I paid 17.99 for mine as Gamestop.

B-O-R-I-N-G !
Initially, I was estatic to discover that Armand survived his suicidal attempt. And the story started out interesting enough. I could even tolerate the sexual themes. However, the things that ruined the story was the ENDLESS descriptions, ENDLESS history lessons, and wasted focus on boring Benji and Sybelle. I can pick up a History Book for a history lesson. And environmental/new character descriptions are fine as long as they don't overpower the plot or primary character(s). I desperately wanted more DIALOGUE, PLOT and a TIGHTER story. Also, what was wrong with Lestat? And what's with all the tears? Marius, Louis and the female vampires are not constantly crying like Lestat and Armand. I still love Armand - I just don't feel that Rice did him any justice in this book.

Don't Bother.
A year ago, I bought my first 500gb My Book. I was so happy with it I bought two more for video/picture/sound storage. Three months ago, the first drive failed and would not spin up, just made a repeated clicking noise. It was still under warranty and Western Digital support went back and forth with me about the issues I was having until the warranty expired, then they failed to help me saying the warranty was void! They failed to offer any help besides a referral to a service I could use to get the data off the drive AT MY EXPENSE! Within the three months, the other two drives have failed, the most recent one this week. The second refuses to let XP access it. If I try on another machine the drive gives me multiple errors. The third I get an error saying data can't be transferred. Meanwhile, other external drives (Seagate, all of them) work just fine. I will never buy another Western Digital product as long as I live.

Poor video quality and many inaccuracies
I purchased this DVD from Amazon not knowing that it was a duplicate of one I already had. I had purchased this same DVD at Target for $4.99 and was disappointed at that price. Knowing that I ended up paying an additional $15.00 for the same DVD was a blow.When it says unauthorized, it means it. The video quality was very poor. There were many inaccuracies in it as well relying heavily on biased media video clips. One of the worst statements in the video was in regard to the contract between Sony and Michael Jackson back in the early 2000's. It implied that Sony was disappointed with sales and terminated the contract. That is just not true. It was Michael Jackson who found a way to get out of the contract. When that announcement was made, Sony was no longer actively promoting the Invincible album.Do not buy this DVD. You will be disappointed. I actually am thinking about throwing both of them in the trash.

I'm In Heaven!
Wow, these are amazing! Although the listing shows it as various artists, it's actually played by pianist Carl Doy. He plays so wonderfully beautiful! THE best piano music on the planet, period. I'm always ecstatic to find his music, especially since he's not readily available. These cds were well worth the wait. The arrangements are perfect, from the first track on disc 1 to the last track on disc 4. Tonight is quite different from other arrangements, yet it's still true to the song. Sealed With A Kiss is played to perfection, with lush strings, light percussion and great piano playing. Same with Killing Me Softly, it's tear jerking beauty. All of the tunes are. He really knows how to get beauty out of a piece. Out of all the many pianists out there, he stands out; in a class all his own. Very romantic but also relaxing. Put these cds on and suddenly all the badness in the world seems to go away. Wonderful!Thank you Amazon for having his music!!!!!

Mighty Mouse!
We ditched cable and use our computer to watch TV now. So... the TV is about 10 feet away from our couches. This mouse is PERFECT for us. It works all the way across the room (this is with our computer inside a credenza). You push a button, flip over the mouse and you have volume, play pause. Great idea, as finding the little speaker icon is a pain in the booty from 10 feet away.OH AND it has a laser pointer, so even our cat enjoys this mouse. We call ours Mighty Mouse. It is awesome. If you are looking for a mouse with long range and tons of cool features this is the one. It has a bunch of buttons you can customize. We made the two side buttons zoom-in and zoom-out so you can blow up pages with small font (another great thing to be able to do if you are across the room from your TV).I guess it would be cool for PowerPoint and stuff too, but I don't mess around with any of that nonsense.

Best Album of The Year!
This is a funny story...well, not really but I'll tell you anyway: I bought Rufus Wainwright's first album a few years ago-based purely on the fact he was Louden Wainwright's son-and as it turns out he's gay-HAS to be cool! Anyway, upon my first "unprepared" listening I was shocked! "Oh my God", I thought, "This is shlock!...How could I have? Possibly thrown my money away on this?"...Then I listened again. Somehow I had to force myself. I could not believe what I was hearing. Pure! Original! Like nothing I had ever heard before...Now I can't wait for anything he puts out. WANT ONE was a classic-but WANT TWO is truly a MASTERPIECE! I know it will probably never make "Top of the Pops" (as Ray Davies mights say) but this album is unbelievable! Poetry, innocence, sensuality, A true wordsmith-What vivid word pictures! Wonderfully instrumental! Great musician! Great Album! Uno! dos! Tres! Cinco!!!

Smooth with groove
I just finished listening to the entire CD while in my car and loved the entire journey. Luther takes you out as only he can. He has stepped out of his comfort zone as he charges his way into a new sound, a modern sound. I am a huge fan and was anticipating this new CD. I was surprised and delighted all at once. There are some very groovy tracks that I look forward to dancing too and then there are some smooth classics, that only a man like Luther can deliver. You know what I mean. His voice cannot get any better. His songwriting talent will give his fans the lyrics and melodies that they crave. Thank you for this wonderful musical treat!!!

a great purchase
if anyone likes to use a styling gel for their hair, then you must try american crew brand. I absolutely love this stuff. first, the smell of this product is excellent. second the quality of the gel is fantastic. it is easy to put on the hair and truly holds the hair in place for the entire day. next, it's not greasy. it simply washes off your hands with a little bit of water. you don't have to scrub your hands with soap and water in order to get clean. finally, you cannot beat the price i got through amazon anywhere. it was a very significant savings. overall i couldn't be happier with this deal.

Celestine Hypocrasy
Upon reading this tripe when it originally came out, I wondered why I spent the time. Actually I wondered why I hadn't spent the time writing a book myself, for I, too would surely like to be rich. I had always stopped myself for not feeling quite ready to write. Well, that didn't stop this courageous bozo from collecting his money, did it? Anyway, I write here now only to praise my fellow-reviewers. Your comments are worth having shared the terrible experience of reading this dribble. I also take a small amount of glee in joining in to bring down the rating of this "book". Of course this "author" is laughing all the way to the bank. So? Let him. I agree, though, that he should stop killing trees and also stop pumping up egos. I think I'll re-read my Nancy Drew series. It was a far, far better dose of transport.

Love Letters from Elvis
I really love Elvis, but I was disappointed with this CD.The reason being I paid 48.96, for this cd that only has 10 songs on it. I could have gotten the same cd for a cheaper price. I would like to send it back and get one that is cheaper or that has extras with it. As of right now I am very disappointed with this purchase. I have always gotten good service from Amazon. I would like to get my money back or exchange it for a cheaper CD. I will be looking for another cd with more music on it for the same price. I wanted the CD that was not an IMORT. I can't see paying almost $50.00 for cd in a cardboard jacket and insert that is not in English. I'm sorry but I am going to send this back and order one that is sent from the US. Again Amazon has always been good to me, but I just want something I can read (English). I will be ordering any all things ELVIS, I will just watch were it comes from. Thanks, Nancy CannonRE: Love Letters from Elvis CD

... itself. Completely unacceptable.
This product is not sutable for any kind of fish let alone goldfish. Goldfish need at least ten gallons to thrive, some reviwers actually say their little gold ones are happy and healthy in that container. It is not fit to be called an aquarium. 'Aquariums' are tanks five gallons and bigger. This is a mere plastic box. This is marketed as a toy! Live animals are not toys! They are lifelong companions. Those four little goldfish that lasted two days in this 'tank' had a potential of over fourty years. A reviewer on this product said you could fit three goldfish in here. Completely unacceptable! Three goldfish would need fifteen gallons at least! Do your self and that poor common goldfish a favour and don't buy this product. Warn others getting a goldfish that 1.8 gallons is nowhere near enough. And remember the golden rule: At LEAST five gallons per goldfish. (Stress on least)

Coffee in the morning
I ordered this coffee maker as my husband has only decaf and I have regular. This was the perfect idea instead of have two separate coffee makers sitting on my counter. I liked the design, as it was not bulky. The coffee stayed hot in the insulated pots. It made great coffee. The only major problem was the the water leaked out from the top water reservoir, where the water drained into the pots. It had a selection between the on/off switches for making four cups or less. The switch could not be turn off. The left side is the side that this feature operated on, had the most water leaking out. There was probably about a half of cup of water each morning on my counter. The coffee maker cost too much money to have this problem. I returned the coffee pot within three days of making coffee.

too much scent, sticky
Really wanted to like this product. However, it has some flaws.- The container isn't opaque, which means that the product is exposed to the sun. Retino - the key anti-wrinkle ingredient in this product - is known to break decay with exposure. So it should be kept in an opaque tube that is tightly sealed. That is not this product.- The smell is very strong, and they clearly color it and use tons of perfume. I can't imagine that this helps with anti-wrinkle or healing properties. But it does have the effect of driving my cat away at night because it is so strong.- After applying my hands become sticky. Really sticky. Strange feeling, like they're becoming puckered. I immediately have to wash them. I don't know what this is attributed to, but it's quite unpleasant.Overall, disappointed in this product. I don't think I'll be buying again. After doing some comparisons, I prefer the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream.

SLR Quality Photo's, Disposable Price
Yo, If you are thinking about buying this I would highly reccomend it. The dual-focus lens seems to bother some people, but it is actually this camera's strongest point. Being able to have a dual-focus lens, you are able to take advantage of the higher quality photos that will result. The red-eye doesn't seem to work as well as it should--(although, I don't really think that any camera can prevent red-eye). The "Auto" mode is the one that I always use, it is the easiest and most fool-proof. It also has a self timer, NO FLASH, and FLASH ON modes. It has spot-focusing which works exceptionally well. I really reccomend either using a local 1 hr. lab (a camera shop...not KMart or Target), or using one of the upscale mail-order labs. The photo quality blew me away. I was so amazed at the quality of the photos that resulted. It was almost better than photo quality of an SLR. Good Luck!

Very Vague and too wordy
The book is another bad book from Roger Toogood. This will be the last time that I make this mistake!!! Does anyone want a book for free? The exercises are very poor. The book is poorly written and the graphic quality is ......... The book is very confusing and vague for the new user. I wonder about the advance user? After reading the book, I still do not understand Wildfire. The book is too wordy and is very vague. I am very surprise that he is selling books. I agree with one reviewer who wrote, "Its ludicrous to expect someone to read 3-4 pages to get to know something simple like modifying feature dimensions or setting references".

Oops!... She Made a Terrible Album... AGAIN
I'm not a Britney-hater. Honest. I know she's the type of girl people love to hate. I just am being honest when I say she has absolutely no singing talent and all her music is over-manufactured. It is very obvious with every "oh baby" that this CD was written by a 40-year-old Swedish pop master (i.e. Max Martin.) Every song has a tried and true formula: verse/chorus/verse/chorus/verse/chorus refrain/chorus x2. It gets really dull by the third track, and Ms. Spears's cover of the Rolling Stones "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is just horrendous. Most of the songs are regurgitated pop dance tunes, but Britney throws in a few sickly ballads that she's notorious for - "When Your Eyes Say It," "Dear Diary," "Don't Let Me be the Last to Know," and "Where Are You Now." The only good track is "One Kiss From You." That's it. This album is a waste of money and very disappointing. Ick.

Excellent game
Vigilance is a "3D Action Assault On World Terrorism" game. This game is Awesome. Their is a time to watch and a time to kill. This game is mainly about terrorist who are about to take over the all parts of the world. The president called asked for assistance from the secretary of defence. She formed a group "SION" meaning--- Special Intelligence Operation Network. 8 unique counter-terrorist experts from all around the world, from CIA, FBI, MI6, hackers, models, wrestlers, and the streets. 12 more new players in multiplayer mode. They do things their own way and objective is to get things done. Over 40 deadly weapons, M16, Viper Sub-machine Gun; the Nitro 800 Ball gun, and more. Terrifyingly real counter-terrorists missions. Your battle field is the world today, recreated in photorealistic 3D. I recommend it to anyone who is brave enough to complete such misssions, with the exact right people to do so.

Purchased for cats, not kid's
I am amazed how well they work. I am remodeling three historic houses across the street from my home. My cats are always crossing the street and we recently lost one to a speeding motorist. I had seen these in another neighborhood and realized that, I would drive well below the posted limit and be on the lookout! I figured maybe others would as well. I purchased four and placed them on both sides of the street on the approach to my home. They work! I would say 90% of the passing cars slowed considerably below the posted limit. Even a neighbor that is always speeding by slowed. Cats or kid's this is a very effective product and well worth the investment. One 50# bag of play sand and a funnel made weighting the base of four a breaze. They also store quite well. The flourecent green color stands out too.

Disc 1 worked once!
I purchased this for my 4 year old daughter. She loves superheroes, especially Batgirl! This is the season of The Batman with the creation of Batgirl. My daughter loved these episodes on the WB's website. And when they were gone I thought buying them would be great. Got it home popped disc 1 in -waited, and waited, and waited..."error." Tried again. Same results. Finally after 3 attempts the disc played. My daughter was thrilled! AND THEN IT NEVER PLAYED AGAIN!!!! Don't know why. We had no trouble with disc 2. Wish I could return it but she won't give it up.

Great Value For The Money
I will start by saying that I am not an expert on juicers. However, I know a good kitchen appliance when I try it. I just tried this juicer and I made a variety of juices. It handled everything I wanted it to do very well. Some juice from the oranges I juiced did not drain into the cup, but I am told that is to be expected. It kind of hung out at the bottom of the "basket" with the pulp. This seems to be a very powerful, economical, and easy to clean juicer. I was impressed at how quickly and easily it was doing the vegetables, especially the carrots. The basket and surroundings pop out for easy cleaning. A minus is that some juice tends to leak out the front seam near the top of the appliance at times (especially with the oranges). Over all, I would recommend this juicer to anyone who wants a cheap but good appliance.

4 and a half stars?? That's nuts.
This movie was so bad I couldn't even get through it. How in the world anyone can rate this and it garners 4 and half stars is beyond me. I cringed the entire time I watched it. Another horrible endeavor from Nicole Conn. Honestly, how does she get funding for her films? They are SO bloody awful it's beyond words. Stilted storylines, terrible dialogue. Mediocre acting at best. It just all felt so forced. I made it as far as the first kiss and stopped it. I just couldn't even go any further. The kissing was devoid of passion, close lipped. It was bad.Honestly, rent Lip Service from the UK or almost anything else. Avoid Nicole Conn films unless you like to cringe. This is quite possibly THE worst lesbian film I've ever seen...aside from Claire of the Moon, Conn's other film. Yeegads.

Terrible - don't buy!
Where to start with this piece of junk? Firstly setting it up is hard. It is fiddly and the instructions are not very clear. More worryingly, once it is set up the pieces don't fit together well and don't work well even when an adult is working it. My 5 year old couldn't make it work. This is a design fault. My 7 year old could make it work with great effort and patience but soon gave up and moved on to some Lego. Even my 11 year old was baffled by the poor mechanics. The scenery pieces don't fit properly and fall off constantly. The final insult is that the pieces are supposed to fit into Mack when he is back to being a truck but despite great effort Mack keeps falling open and doesn't close. Absolutely rubbish and at a rip off price!

Not Pleased
I don't like to be negative and tend to try to find something positive in all things for the most part. Having said that, as I opened the package an unbearable stench emitted from the product. I admired the make and style and overlooked the stench as I thought it would go away. I placed my bible in it and carried on. However, as the days past I noticed I smelled a horrible stench when I entered my room. I removed my bible from the case and it stunk also. I gave it away to my sister who washed it and left it to air dry. However, she noticed the stench intensified and permeated her car. I don't know if it was mildewed or what but even to this day my bible stinks and it has been a week. I wound up throwing it out in a dumpster far away so the stench wouldn't be around. I wasted my money and was not pleased at all.

In spite of the Wall's family dysfunction, you will find such humor in this memoir
This book was so well-written. I loved it. Ms. Walls has a knack for making you feel frustrated with the adversity she has to endure at the same time you are laughing out loud at her descriptions of the situations that she has to deal with on a daily basis because of the terrible decisions her parents make -- over and over again. If you have ever felt that you were raised in a dysfunctional family, please think again and read this memoir. The fact that these children came out of this environment as normal,(I think) successful adults is an achievement in and of itself. I could not put this book down. I was so impressed with the strength and courage of Ms. Walls and her ability to rise above her deplorable situation. You will love it. There are "read out loud" sections in this incredible memoir!

Glad I didn't spend money on this
I've been reading about how great The Streets is, and I even thought about buying it once. My friend told me I should just burn his copy. Man, I'm glad I did! That would have a been a waste of [$]. There are so many comparisons to Eminem, but other than the fact that he's white, I just can't see them. Eminem has rhythm. This guy just seems to talk. There is actual vocal inflection on Eminem tracks. This is so monotone I almost fell asleep. I bet we don't hear much about this guy once this initial press dies down. Every track sounds the same...and it's not a GOOD sound.

We are pleased with the tent
Overall, the tent was easy to put up. We are happy with it's appearance and structure. It fit my 4 year old, 7 year old and myself nicely and we could have fit Dad in there too even though it may be a tight squeeze. For the price, it is great for us to have as a backyard tent. Only downfall, it comes nicely packed in a LITTLE pull string bag. After taking down the tent, we tried 3 times to wrap that thing as tightly as we could and STILL couldn't get it back in the bag. I advise that you keep the box it comes in so you can just store the rolled up tent in that if you can't fit it into the bag! A question for anyone who has this tent, there is a square mesh piece with hooks. The only place we could find to put it was inside the tent at the peak of the ceiling where there were 4 loops. WHAT is that for??

One of The Greatest Movies ever.
This is one of the greastest comic book/cartoon to life movies ever made. Most movies of these kind get too kiddish, too corny, too . . . stupid. But this is a diamond in the ruff. It is a very serious movie, able to satisfy an older viewer, yet completely captures the light, playful, immature spirit that is in us all. Very fun to watch. If you love a good fight movie, than this is the one. Some of the cleanest (no blood and guts) yet realistic and very entertaining fight scenes. This is one of my favoraite movies of all time. I highly recommend it for the kids, and the parents. Don't listen to the critics who bash this movie in any way. This movie is a truly enjoyable, extremely watchable movie.

worst book you'll ever see
I did not read the whole book. I only read a few pages at Barnes and Noble. The critics are only half right. There are plenty of suggestions in this book. The problem is, they are incredibly stupid. Don't use deodorant. Avoid bad news from TV and newspapers. Shower in purified water. I'd rather have diabetes, asthma, and high cholestrol than do the time and money consuming things on this list. I'm fat, but I dont blame Wendy's or KFC(as Mr. Trudeau does). Other than that, Mr. Trudeau goes on with mindless rambling about how greedy pharmecutical corporations are(as if we didn't know that already). Following Mr. Trudeau's advice will lead to paranoias and phobias of all sorts. Mr Trudeau and his followers belong in the same category as David Koresh and Jonestown. I'm really scared that these people have the right to vote.

I'm Disappointed.
I was soooo excited to get this home and play it because I grew up listening to these cartoon segments every Saturday morning! But it bored me. They just weren't as good as I remembered them, I guess. I ended up fast forwarding through most of it. I paused for the classics "I'm only a Bill" etc, but I didn't seem to recognize most of them anymore.If you're looking to relive a little childhood, rent it first- then if you think you can live with it, buy it. Perhaps you need to check to be sure you recognize more than 1/2 of the titles too. (I 'thought' I did!) -I personally wish I had my money back. (My kids even begged me to shut it off!) Just my opinion...hope it helps those of you looking to purchase it.)1smileycat :-)

nice, when it works
my boss got one of these as a chrismtas present and keeps it in the office, and it works great! obviously it doesnt produce super awesome amazing sound, but it sounds just fine for one room. so i bought one of these at target, on sale for 50 bucks. brought it home and it did not work at all. no power. so i had to bring it back and decided to try again. bought another one, and it worked! well, kinda. once i put the ipod in the dock, i could not do anything with the ipod. if it was playing a song, then it would play through the speakers, but once it ended the ipod would pause and not do anything. i was quite disappointed, and decided not to bother trying again.

TBN needs to quit doing this.
I am a Christian. I also don't like this movie. I think that this is just an attempt by the ever burgeoning Trinity Broadcasting Network to expand their influence into secular society. If this indeed was a film for Christians, or to convert people then leave it at that. Quit vieing for an academy award. Hey I'll be the first to admit that Christians, in terms of entertainment, have always had secondhand stuff. Mostly because the producers and performers never had enough money to do anything of descent quality. I think in terms of production quality and acting that it is much better than some of its predecessors like ""A Thief in the Night", or "Image of the Beast". But for the scare conversion factor those films were overwhelmingly better than this one. I think the trinity broadcasting network should take a lesson from the bible on this. That lesson - when Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem it was on one of the most lowly forms of transportation - not a Rolls Royce.

It was Just Too Simplistic
Based on reviews I read, I eagerly obtained a copy of this book. When I got home and perused it, I was vastly disappointed it didn't measure up to all its hype. Why? It is too simplistic! When looking for information regarding numerals, all it carries is a small paragraph about numerals in dates. I was also looking for uses of the apostrophe. Again, it only contains very limited data. In continuing to look through this book, I have not found a single answer to my questions!A person who already has style basics under their hat should not spend their money on this book. Instead, they should gravitate towards a larger style manual, which gives much more detailed information. That is what I have done. Many of these are available.

Horrible
This product almost had me going to the ER. I felt a little flush so I used this monitor to check my blood pressure. It was 151/98. A second check showed 148/100. I then really started feeling flush as a wave of burning flushed my body. My wife an RN said calm down, breath deeply. I went over to my Rottweiler and started hugging and petting her. After about 10 min. I felt the flushness go away but the blood pressure showed 162/99. I made a Dr's appointment and brought the machine with me. In his office where my pressure always is elevated when he 1st takes it, I used the machine in front of him and my pressure was 153/107. I really got nervous. He took it with his machine and it was 140/82. You won't believe the relief. He took it again with another machine and it had come down to 135/80. I'd like to return the machine for a non-digital one. I've seen this before with a digital machine from a different company.

A Classic
Fantasies are fun. Everyone likes a mysterious story well-told. The writing, acting, visual effects, and other elements of this film all add up to make a classic that has entertained generations of audiences since its debut in 1939. With each repeated viewing it is like going back to childhood and seeing familiar friends. There's an innocence in the way the characters relate to each other. Good and evil are clearly delineated. Ambiguities and gray are lacking in this era when sides were distinctly identified.The sets, the technology for the time demonstrate what its like to do work that endures. The plot unfolds in such a way that you're captivated, although you know what is going to happen next.This is good, clean, family entertainment. Good wins, bad fails, and Dorothy wakes up in her own bed in Kansas in the end. All is right with with world. Enjoy!

GREAT PRODUCT/ LOVES MY HAIR
After doing some research and praying to God about this porudct, I purchased it!!! God truly answers prayers because this product has worked WONDERS for my hair. I am transitioning and my hair was badly damaged. I decided that I would start taking care of my hair by using all natural products. I know very little about concoctions, but this particular concoction is still my best one to date. I mix this shea butter along with extra virgin cocOnut oil, smudge of honey, peppermint oil, vitamin E (as a preservative), rosemary, evoo and apply it to my hair as a leave in conditioner. I never knew my hair could ever be soft, but it is. People ask me what I use and they don't beliee it because never in my life have I had soft hair. My hair is more manageable, shinier, healthier and longer. Yes my hair has grown!!!! I am almost out of my first batch, I ordered my second batch already. Shipping was fast too!!!

Um, no.
1. Our heroine calms herself after a nightmare with a Virginia Slim and a Fuzzy Navel Cooler. Um, no.2. Our hero has beaten up a judge.3. A sixteen year old boy listens to Creedence Clearwater Revival on his "walkman." In 2003. Um, no.There are several other anachronisms and examples of reasons I, personally, do not connect with these characters, but these three are the most egregious. About halfway through the book, I completely stopped caring who was murdering the hookers. I admit I skimmed the rest just to find out, and I was not surprised. Horrified, and grossed out, but not surprised.Oddly, the author does the best job when she is narrating from the killer's point of view. That's a little disturbing as well.It seems to me that I've liked books by Sutcliffe before, but this one really misses the mark. Skip it.

Praise for Red Riding Hood
This movie is freakin awesome. It could use a little more romance though. Especially towards the end. But the end is like a mystery. I wish there was a kiss or something. But then again it kind of shows that Valerie and Henry will always be together. I read the book and the movie is way better. This is the second movie I have watched and its funny because both movies i have watched have Amanda Seyfried in it. And this one is way better than the book and its usually the other way around. Where the book is better than the movie. Such as the case with twilight.

Everything one could ask for
Cantopolera's Puccini Arias for Soprano is an excellent book which provides everything you need, aspiring opera singer to amateur. The book includes a CD with all nine songs, first with someone singing, then with the full accomapaniments. The book has the written music for each song, a section where the lyrics are fully translated, and a short summary of each opera.And for anyone who was perturbed that there was no listing of the arias anywhere:1. O mio babbino caro (Gianni Schicchi)2. Un bel di vedremo (Madama Butterfly)3. Quando men vo (La Boheme)4. Mi Chiamano Mimi (La Boheme)5. In quelle trine morbide (Manon Lescaut)6. Tu che di gel sei cinta (Turandot)7. Vissi d'arte (Tosca)8. In questa reggia (Turandot)9. Senza Mamma (Suor Angelica)Also, on an unrelated note, for anyone who always hated photocopying music out of oversized books, these books are 8 1/2 x 11, as well as are thin enough to lay perfectly flat.Hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I do!

Could Louise Hay be my grandmother please?!!!!!!!!
If you liked THE SECRET, you will love this movie. I think it is way better than The Secret b/c it doesn't have that materialistic undertone that some have criticized The Secret for. It's such a beautiful movie and it truly makes you feel like you can accomplish and overcome anything! Louise Hay is wonderful. It's all about lovng yourself first. Then everything else falls into place. Very professionally done. Excellent! Can't say enough about it. I want to buy one for everyone I know. I love her book by the same title too. I use Amazon quite a lot but this is the first review I have ever felt compelled to write. That says something.

Give me more to do
I dont own this game and im glad that i dont. I was playing it at a relatives house and it took me almost an hour to figure it out. its not that its hard its that there are too many controls and you get mixed up. Then, when you finally build your mall, its not fun! The people come in, by 1 thing and then leave. you can click on the person and over 80% of the time their little box says "leaving mall". Their is no point! Also, sometimes you get burgulers and the only way to stop them is to have cops around, but you cant control the cops so you have to buy a lot of them and spend more money! You have to research everything to get it. Workers, New events, new stores etc. Its frustrating! If you are going to buy it i wouldnt play for long periods of time. Some parts are fun if you get an atrium and have differnt events like kite shows and dog shows whatever.

Heh...Nicole's hair is funny =D
This is a good movie for bored people. I'll agree with the masses, the scenery is utterly breathtaking, and the land race is fun to watch as well. The characters all have interesting quirks, but the accents were badly rehersed. Pros: Tom Cruise. Scenery. Tom Cruise. Some very funny moments. Tom Cruise. Seeing Nicole Kidman's hair like that. Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. Cons: The storyline isn't fantastic. Sometimes very cheesy. very predictable. Many cliqued phrases.

Highly recommended paring knife
I got this knife because it was recommended by Cook's Illustrated. It has been a fantastic paring knife. It has really good heft and balance. It feels really good in the hand. It is easy to handle when cutting up food. The blade is sharp and I have not had any issues or struggles with this knife. Because I keep good care of it and keep it sharp, I have not ever cut myself with this knife and neither has anyone using it in my house. A bad dull knife is a lot more dangerous to use in the kitchen, this one makes for safer cooking. The price is not cheap, but you only need a few knives in the kitchen and a paring knife is a must. With good care this knife will last you forever and is well worth the money. I highly recommend this knife to all my friends and anyone looking to get some nice knifes.

Should be called taxidermy bear
The picture of this bear is very misleading. That must be the smallest kid in the world, because the bear is not that big. It's squat, smushed, and the fur is not that soft. The picture makes the bear looks like it would be soft and pliable, but it's not. The arms and legs stick straight out, stiff as a board. The feet don't look like that at all, and it's middle is hard. I bought this for my six year old for Christmas because all he wanted was a big stuffed bear. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in this product. I thought I could trust something from Melissa and Doug - usually very good quality. If you are expecting the bear pictured, go elsewhere. This is not what you get.

Fantastic!
Almost 20 years ago, I had a child with eczema, who had frequent diaper rash. Nothing would touch it. Tried prescriptions. He was allergic to half the products with baby scents. His skin was oozy and bleeding and frequently infected. Then, my mom suggested Unguentine. Saw marked improvement in ONE DAY! As an alternative to my boy's constant misery, it was a godsend. I would not use it for all diaper rash, as it seems like strong medicine.

Teaxas Angel?
No offense, but are all the reviewers of this book blind? This was a BORING book. I could barely get through the first half of the book, it picked up a little bit after that, but not much. One of the main characters, Elise, seemed stupid to me. Trying to escape with a screaming child? Excuse me, but it seems like common sense to shut the child up and then run. I was surprised that the author, Judith Pella, was a bestselling athor. Because this is definitly not one of my favorites. Then I thought maybe this was one of her not so great books, I mean all authors have those. But after reading all of these reviews, I'm not quite sure. The author ended the book too quickly. It was as if she was just trying to tie all the loose ends up, instead of actully thinking it through. Overall, I would NOT recommend thiS book. Don't waste your time on it.

So far not so good
I ordered this product and while not to Amazons fault the product came defected. A leg on the base was broke off. I called Delta ( from the card in the package) and asked if they could ship a new piece, it was easy to replace. It cost a total of [price]. To my amazement they would not, I had to go through UPS, who shipped it, etc etc. After a week, I said the heck with it and filled out a return/replacement order and Amazon was great. The old has been picked up and a new one on t he way. So what would have cost [price], cost who knows how much. I guess I dont understand business. I guess I dont understand DELTA. Sears always stands by their products, why doesnt Delta?

HOLY CRAP!
Bring your A game! I bought this because I wanted a quick workout from the normal 40 minute workout with the insanity system. I just don't have time with two kids, a wife, and a job to put in 40 plus minutes. Ends up being an hour if you lift weights. This is intense!! Big time and if you push hard, you won't finish the tape or the allotted times. But I like that, you have room to grow and get better. Lots of cardio and lots of abs. Good warm-up. I workout in the basement and the ceilings are low, does not allow me to do alot of the jumps and things, but I just do other exercises instead. Very intense and quite insane! If you are looking to extend your insanity workout or just want a quick but furious workout...this is the one!

Good concept needing professional help
This could have been a great movie, but poor production values held it back. The acting was stilted. Scenes didn't link together well, and some made no sense as to why they were included. Then suddenly there's miracles galore (sarcasm), but they had to wrap up the film in 10 minutes. A women has a 60 second labor, not likely for a first-time mother. The new father vows to quit his high-paying soap opera gig in order to focus on his wife and kid. That's nice, but you jettisoned your income source just when family expenses are going to increase. That's irresponsible and immature. This is the director's idea of a good father? Everybody resolves to do better in the last 5 minutes, despite months' and even years' worth of issues building up. Unrealistic. If you want to see a truly excellent production on this subject matter, watch Fireproof.

Works Great!
My white Shih Tzu has had a reddish brown face for years. I didn't know what was causing it because I've never noticed any wetness. She hated the taste of Angel Eyes and I never had any success with that. When I read about Tylan I decided it was worth a try despite the high cost. My hope was that perhaps the new growth would come in white and we could slowly trim off the discoloration. I was shocked when after only three days of Tylan her face began to turn white again! She's been on it for ten days now and there's a dramatic improvement with only a little brown remaining. She looks like a totally different dog! I use the tiniest pinch possible mixed with a little peanut butter and she thinks it's a treat. The jar should last a very long time and is worth every penny. The only downside I can think of is that her groomer might not recognize her now!

Must read, entertaining history!
I really enjoyed this book! In my opinion, much better than his WW2 book, "Band of Brothers" I am unfamiliar with US western history & this account left me wanting to know more. Ambrose deals with both central characters with an admirable objectivity. Rare in this type of "comparative" history. The war & battle sequences are described in a clear & exciting manner. The heavier political, social, historical developments are presented without detracting from the entertaining & fast moving account. Ambrose has a tendency towards a delivery that is occasionally too melodramatic & an over useage of colloquial language that seems slightly inappropriate for a serious history. Over all I found the book very well researched, gripping & an absolute delight to read. Highly recommended for lovers of military history. Deduct one star rating for the inclusion of the worst, smallest & almost uninterpretable maps I have encountered in print. Why did you let this happen Mr. Ambrose?

Couldn't Taste the Habanero at All
As a fan of spicy foods, I was anxious to try out this sauce. The habanero is one of my favorite peppers, adding great flavor and heat. Unfortunately, this product diluted the habanero taste so that it wasn't significant at all.I tried this sauce as a cooking glaze and a dip with beef, chicken, and pork. If you're looking for sweetness, it adds a very pleasant flavor. Unfortunately, that's not what I'm looking for in a sauce that boasts habanero. The mango, honey, and apple flavors dominate this sauce. The ginger is also apparent, but not as pronounced. The poor, poor habanero is absolutely lost in the shuffle.Overall, this sauce is a pretty big disappointment to me. If it were advertised and marketed as a fruity sauce, I'd be much happier with the product. The company advertises this product as having "sweet heat". Well, it got half of it right.

Bad ass dirty blues...this ain't vegas Tom Jones
This ain't "What's New Pussycat" or "Thunderball" era Tom Jones. This is an old man discovering what brung him to the game. Not unlike Johnny Cash's American recordings, this is an old cat slipping away from this mortal coil and paying homage to his "real" roots. Hell, he even does "Ain't No Grave" which Cash also recorded on American VI.Basically it's roadhouse rock meets tent-revival gospel. A little blues and a little rock and a whole lot of Americana roots. Back to basics. No strings, no horns, no orchestra arrangements, minimal production and a mess of geetar riffs and a bluesman's crooning. Yer mom and granny ain't gonna like this. "Burnin' Hell" is a great piece of dirty modern blues a la Billy Gibbons n' ZZ with a tip o' the hat to the greats. His back-up musicians sound young and hungry and Tom sings like this is his swan song...one foot in the neon grave.Highly recommended, but know what yer gettin' into. This Tom isn't fer sissies.

UNKNOWN CLASSIC
This film is one of the finest low profile American films I have ever seen. It deserves a much wider audience. Visually it is absolutely stunning. The scenery, especially that of Moanin Meadow, always makes me yearn for summer in the Adirondacks. The color is rich and lends perfectly to the visual landscape. The narrative realizes the haunting quality of its story. Every performer in this film lends exceptional support to the drama. Beulah Bondi was never better and the always enjoyable Marc Lawrence is an absolute suprise, perfect in a part you would not associate him with. The theme music, later heard as a song sung by Fuzzy Knight, has a wonderfully sentimental quality. Sadly, this film is not available on dvd as of this writing. Get the vhs copy; it is worth it. Harry Carey, John Wayne, Betty Field, Marjorie Main, the whole cast all hit the target. It just renews my spirit every time I watch it.

humourous, witty, and well worth reading
I bought this book thinking, if Sophie Kinsella liked it, then buying it would surely be an investment. Turns out, It really was. This story is very funny, adorable, and not to mention romantic. Ince I finished reading the book, I couldn't help but fall madly in love with dependable David, the chap-next-door who cooks, loves movies, and is incredibly smart. Envious of fictional character, Georgie. Haha! However, despite my adoring this book, there was one thing I wasn't quite keen on, and that was the fact that Georgie was very naive about David. Surely, she had her heart in the right place, but I found it very hard to believe she would believe Mike over David. If she really loved David, she would have trusted him more (especially since Mike is a cheap, boring cad!) Still, other than that, this story was well worth the money. And to whomever decides to read this novel, happy reading. :)

Could have been better
Title a bit misleading. At first glance I thought Tex was the hero, not a dead character. I've seen one too many books of heroines going to New York and making it big then going back to their home town and falling in love with the local hunk (like she couldn't find one in NY). This theme is tried and true but I thought the reason wasn't strong enough for Megan to stay. But the most unbelievable character to me is the eight-year old girl. She doesn't sound like her age, no matter how precocious she might be. Even gifted children don't have that cadence in their speech. She sounds too much like a adult, especially when she was throwing around legal terms. Another thing I found hard to believe is that Megan didn't find out that Jake did not steal the horses. The housekeeper could have told her that. There's just too many loose ends.

Garbage Garbage Garbage
This toy is pure garbage. It does not look or walk like a real puppy. Its ridiculous mechanical wheels get stuck and causes the thing to roll around in a circle. Notice I did not say walk around...it rolls on wheels. This makes it look even more unrealistic. It is suppose to respond to sound. Well you have about a 50/50 chance of it going in the correct direction. My kid played with this one time and now it's on the bottom of the toy box. I would have returned it, but in the excitement, the box was ripped up during the opening. We were all excited to see this little doggie. It's a let down...a true disappointment!!

Great Fun
When we were given this as a toy I was doubtful it would have a big place in our house. I really aim for toys that encourage creative play, exploration of the world, that are not loud. This train, I was expecting would not do this. Was I wrong?!This is a fun toy and very exciting. We have had it for several years now and my children still play on it. They can use it without the track which only makes it that much more fun.It is fairly easy to steer and has not broken down yet. It is sturdy and has lasted through three children playing with it. It really does lend to creative play- my children have pretended they are delivering mail, visiting family, and so on.Much fun. Throw in a few fun books such as Mailing May and this would be an excellent toy to encourage creativity, find and large motor control, and many more skills.Enjoy. Well worth the money.

Inconsistent
Whatever happend to Kristine W? Her first effort, Land of the Living was fantastic. It set a new standard and a new sound for dance. Her second effort, Stronger was a step back toward senseless lyrics and typical sounds. Maybe it is that she is writing her own lyrics? She stripped off her heavy make up along with her unique sound for this one. The recording production values on Stronger were that the sound quality was that of hearing it through several layers of cheese cloth. Fly Again is in keeping with Stronger. More senseless lyrics with typical sounds. Don't get me wrong, some of the songs are great. Several will be major dance hits. The stinkers are plenty here also. Broken, is just that broken. What where they thinking with this one? Overall it falls short. Especially to the Kristine W we first met on the Land of the Living. Kristine W would do best to stick with the heavy make up and the bubble dresses and the unique sound that made her a stand out on her freshman effort.

GOOD BOOK!
This is a great book! At first when my husband bought it, a moment of frustration came over me...I was thinking "Ha....why do I need a book about men? Shouldn't he have a book about women? He needs to understand me!!" LOL! But really this book has helped me understand why he does and says the things that he does! Sure you will have moments where you may scoff or make faces at what is being said in the book, but overall....great insight as to the minds of men! Has helped us in our relationship and in my understanding of him a little bit more! Now if I could only find a book for him to help him understand me!!! Highly reccommend!!!

Great DVD
When I first bought Eminem's DVD, 'E', I was kinda disappointed and glad at the same time. Since I didn't have MTV, it was my first time watching his music videos. It was really great, showing the most recent videos first then the not so most recent ones last: STAN, THE WAY I AM, THE REAL SLIM SHADY, .. etc.. When I was watching Stan, I thought wow, such a good music video, and I was hoping the others would be as great as this one. It turns out that I only liked Stan, The Way I am, & The Real Slim Shady the best. The other music videos were alright. Also, they had 2 bonus footages, including The Mathers' Home and the Making of Stan. I really liked both of them as well. The Mathers' Home is like a mini footage of The Blair Witch Project and what a surprise at the end! But anyway, if you really like Eminem like I do, then you should go buy it anyway, if you don't.. But wanna know more 'bout him by watching his music videos, then go ahead and buy it too!

Insight is better without insight
I was walking through my local bookstore, looking for a certain book. When unable to find it, This one caught my eye. I am fascinated with death, myself, and the idea of writing the end to your own story is rather intriguing to me. So I bought it. I read it in less than a week, I am not a reader, I've been trying to read Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World for a year and half and am only on chapter 8. So you can tell this must be good, easy reading book. I had one problem. Mark Etkind's insight was offensinve to me. It seemed like he was trying too hard, and that he was a student of the idea, and never actually felt those feelings. However, he did give excellent historical notes, on types of suicide, and actual lives of certain people. Overall it is a good book, and would recommend it to anyone with any interest in, what is considered, morbid.

don't bother
Not a marine grade set. The cd player would not eject the disc I had inside. Sound was ok. Stereo case was rusting after 8 months of use. Audio would go in and out at speed. According to troubleshooting it claims that the radio was at the improper angle. I modified the angle and still would go in and out. I replaced the stereo with a pioneer and have had no issues since. The speakers have ok sound but again not marine grade. The mounting hardware has rusted and now the cones have seperated from the speaker. Trust me on this one. Don't waste your money.
