The Pop Diva Shines in This CD!!!!
I just ordered 4 copies of that Master Piece (One for me and 3 for gifts). I don't know the cover songs very well, but Cyndi are introducing them to me with a Bossa Nova STYLE. She reminds me the best Bossa Nova singers back in Brazil. So bad she is not doing one Brazilian Bossa Nova. I love to see Cyndi singing Girl From Ipanema or Waters of March. Cyndi when you will sing one Brazilian song? As you know you have a great amount of fans back in Brazil. Could be nice to see you doing a duet with Zizzi Possi the Brazilian Musa(Diva). What about a duet with Basia? I do love your club songs and I hope you new club song will come up soon. Keep SHINING my favorite lady. I do like you since I was a TEEN in the early 80's. Guys buy this CD because Cyndi shines in this work. Cyndi thanks for your oppenly support for Gay rights.

Worst editing in history
Do not buy this edition! The editing is so bad that there are blatant typos in nearly every entry of Wittgenstein's text. There are no notes by an editor or translator, so the reader has no idea who is responsible for this ridiculous butchery of the text. I'm talking about the most basic proofreading here, not about interpretations of the text (I don't read German, so I can't comment about that). For example: " If they world had no substance, then whether a proposition had sense would depend on whether another proposition was true (2.0211)." They world? "It is obvious that an imagined world, however difference it may be from the real one . . .(2.022)" -- this kind of thing can't help but distract the reader from the meaning. These are just 2 of scores of examples. Those were on the same page, and you find them on every page. 7 Treasures Publications seems to be some kind of fly-by-night garage publisher; this is the crudest, most unprofessional publication I've ever seen.

One of the best things I've EVER bought!
I actually use the pearly, the lady comps' less expensive little sister! But my sister bought a lady comp after I got my pearly. (She is still considering having more children and liked the idea of more features.) We both love our respective products. I've used my pearly for 8 months successfully and she's used the lady comp for 6 months with no unwanted pregnacy. If I had been educated enough to know products like this existed I'd have never took risks with the pill or depo shots! If you can follow a red/green light system faithfully, don't hesitate. Buy one and never look back. It is so freeing! So many women right now are poisoning their systems with all the junk on the market because they just don't know any better.Yes, these things are expensive and yes, you can probably manually do this but my pearly is so convenient and simple to use I'd spend the money all over again. It's absolutely been worth the money for me!

Very Boring
This book was painful to read. I had to keep reminding myself that the characters were adults not adolescents. At the end of the book I still didn't know or understand what the feud was all about. The hero, Connor was believable for those days. I was able to relate to his point of view. But Lady Brenna .... She was an embarrassment. She was supposed to be so smart but I had to keep reminding myself how old she was. How boring.The story had a decent plot with the villain (Rein) ... I thought there would have been some good and tense confrontation between Connor, the stepmother and Rein to give substance to the feud. Nothing ... So boring

A chance to experience the Pumpkins live one last time...
I am a diehard Smashing Pumpkins fan and have been since 1999. I have every album they have released. I love Earphoria. I got it back in 2001 when it was officially released in Europe. Earphoria was originally released in 1994 to promote the Pumpkins awesome live footage video, "Vieuphoria". On this CD you will find every song from Vieuphoria exactly the same as on the video (just without the video part).I love this CD. The Smashing Pumpkins are definitely so much more powerful live and you can feel that by listening to this awesome album. "Disarm" sticks out more than any other. The version on this CD is an electric version played with the full band. The power the pumpkins bring into the atmosphere is amazing. The CD recording could be fixed in a few minute places but that is to be expected with any live cd. Definitely a buy if you have never seen them live or just love their music.

A Bloody Confection from the Coen Brothers
Fargo is a wonderful piece of modern crime film making. The script is clever, suspenseful, violent and very, very funny. It's greater success hinges on the cast and the wonderful performances. Without this cast, it could have become a very different film. Not enough can be said about the perfection that is McDormand in this film. Her potrayal of Margie G., police woman and midwest pregnant housewife is a revelation. While she actually has les screen time than some of the others, she creates a character that will forever be remembered in American cinema. A true triumph. William H. Macy - who also deserved an Oscar- is a stressed-out, comically twitching raw nerve. Just superb. Buscemi and Stormare are the perfect dopey villains and Presnell as Macy's father-in-law might be the most villainous of all.Beautifully filmed and acted, it is a true gift to the audience from the Coen brothers and deserved all its acclaim and more.

Lots of hair loss
For the price - I expected a pretty decent combo! Totally disappointed. The shampoo made my hair incredibly tangled. It felt nasty after rinsing. Also, I noticed A TON of hair loss with this product. Literally 4-5 times more than usual. People may say, "Oh you're loosing hair because you are getting new growth" -- yeah, no thanks! I don't want all my long hair clumping out for a few new short strands. Overall - never again. I didn't even finish the bottles. Waste!Namaste

Two Thumbs Way up for David Talbert
I got this play after watching three other David Talbert plays and because Malik Yoba was in it. It was excellent. I stayed up till 2 in the morning watching this and his play Mr. Right Now. Every minute was a treat. I especially loved the part where he finally realizes what he has and what he stands to lose by letting his lady walk out the door. I was surprised by his singing voice. I think he should release a CD so we can get the full range of his voice. What I appreciated most about this play was that there was no gun. I'm quite tired of every gospel play having a gun in it. If I see one more character get shot I'm going to scream. I loved this play and all his other plays. I think you should buy them. I know I'm looking forward to his next play coming out on DVD.

An exciting page-turner for the summer, or anytime!
Alten has crafted a tale with all the elements of a summer page-turner. The characters are well-developed whether they are heroes or villains. What I liked most about them is that they are not stereotypical. The villain of the piece is one who provokes valuable questions in the reader's mind. It's these questions that sometimes challenge the heroes in the story to question their own motives. The book is also big on action. It uses bits of submarine tales, espionage, humor, and a touch of sci-fi to keep the reader hooked. There a are several twists which will keep you guessing right until the end, but don't look at the last page!!!All in all, I had fun reading this book and felt like I got my money's worth. We all work too hard to plunk down our money for a book that doesn't hold our interest. Goliath held me from page one. It's exciting, fun, and thought provoking. Buy the book!

super product - delivered with expired date
Let's face it isopure is providing a functional quality product not found very much today. Been using isopure products for years with no complaints. With the tub being so huge better quality control is needed. The expiration date is found on the lid granted it is hard to see - etched in grey). My tub was delivered with a 06/08 date when it is now 02/09. Money is not an ssue so it's doubtful I'll complain nor do I have the time to send it back. Chucked the container and purchased from the local Vitaminshoppe. In the end better quality control is needed by these vendors. All flavors are light & good tasting. Mixes well. Use it twice per day on workout days. Isopure rocks!

It was a book you never want to put down.
It was a totally cool book. It related to all ages from kids to adults. It was exciting threw the hole book not just in the begining or end. It was a book that could satisfy everyone's needs from Mystery to romance to horror. It was a fiction but could be beleavable. It teaches valuable lessons for life and teaches Teens not to do anything stupid. It is a graphical book but it is not overdone. That is hard to find in books now-a-days. I love all of Lois Duncan's books but this is the best. My other favorite book is also by Duncan. It is called Killing Mr.Griffin. It to is perfect in every way

Major disappointment.
I won't spend much time and energy giving my opinion on this movie. It's not worth it to me. It could have been a great movie, but is anything but that. If your over twelve or fourteen years old, i would not recommend watching this movie although no doubt many adults will find it "superb". I only write reviews for two types of movies. Movies that i had very high hopes for and was very disappointed and movies that i love. No love here. Just a bad taste in my mouth. I lost interest half way through this movie, which seldom happens to me. Enough said. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ONE.

Will Cost $15 more than you bargained for
The program will not update. I purchased it April 9, and sat down on the 14th (procrastination is a strong suit of mine)to do my taxes using the business edition. Whenever I tried to download the latest forms It kept freezing up. You cannot submit it until it is updated. I visited the web site, did everything it suggested. Spent an hour on the phone with "tech" support, who basically walked me through what the web site said. Then said well you will have to call customer service to get the update cd. Customer Service Charged me [$$$] to overnight it to me. I understand they have to recoup CD and Shipping costs, but just put it somewhere where I can download it and I would be happy. The personal solution is good, the business is poor. Don't buy it.

Thunder Is Very Bad
I have played this game; in fact, I bought it last year. I just want to say that it is terrible. The graphics are exactly the same as Nitro from the year before. The game moves so fast that you have no idea what is going on; that is not a good thing. The moves are performed instantaneously, which looks very stupid. It plays like a fighting game, and is very little fun. The reason I am writing this now is because I had ordered WWF Smackdown off Amazon. However, my friend bought it and I played it yesterday, and the game is terrible. It plays just like Thunder and Nitro. I am not going to make the same mistake twice, and I just cancelled my order on Amazon for the game. THQ should have used the same engine from WWF Wrestlemania 2000, which I bought recently along with an N64. The game is so much better than all these other crappy titles. Buy it instead of these if you are going to get anything. It is well worth it.

Coby: It's a crap shoot.
I got this thing a long time ago. It was pretty nifty at first. It worked as a 1gb flash drive that would play any MP3 it found on it, and that's about it. The battery life on one AAA was about 8 hours, so you might want to invest in rechargeables. It sounded decent, was compact, light, and portable. Then after a few months the screen started showing garbage. I could still get it to play MP3's but I could not directly choose the one I wanted. It would lock up, and I'd have to take out the battery to reset it. It was malfunctioning badly. After contacting Coby, they basically told me to change the batteries and don't try to play DRM music. I would never dare allow DRM onto any of my systems, and I've got plenty of fresh batteries for every occasion, so I felt that their response was more or less a brush off.Out of the box, Coby electronics are generally neat devices, but they all reliably fail, so don't get too attached to any of them.

Great Premise...
It's hard to argue with the set up. Bruce Campbell is Elvis who has broken his hip and is in a retirement home. His friend, former President John F Kennedy, is a black man. They are about to square off with Bubba Ho-Tep - a mummy who sucks the souls out of people to stay alive. Sounds great! Seriously, as far as these kinds of movies go, I was on board. But after watching it, I'm having a hard time recommending it because the pace of the movie is too slow. More specifically, too much time is spent developing the Elvis character. Now I love Bruce Campbell, and he absolutely shines here. But if a bit more of the movie had been devoted to mummy (...)kicking, with less time spent harping on Elvis in bed, then I think this would have been excellent. As it stands, I was a bit bored by the end and think many who see it will be too. Don't agree? Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it more than me.

Poor service: they can NOT activate the phone more than one month
I bought a virgin mobile phone in the early of July and have been working with Virgin mobile for one and half month. They still can NOT activate my phone. Can you believe it? Good mobile phone carriers can get phone activated with 24 hours. I called them many many times to find activation status. Every time I was told that it is under investigation or it has been escalated. Finally I talked with their supervisor last Thursday and she gave me extra $10 for being so patience and she asked me to call back in 24 to 48 hours to get a new number. I waited one week to call back and was told that it was escalated to their headquarter and need another 1 to 10 business. I was tired to deal it with them. Today, I decided to return the phone to them. The phone is very good. But their service is disaster.

dissapointing
i really wish geri didn't leave. seems like her departure put the remaining spice girls in a position where they didn't know what to do musically. this album tries a bit too hard--to be R&B. it's like these are imposters-not the same spice girls i knew and loved. you can change musically but IT HAS TO SOUND GOOD. maybe it's me but i feel that they even sound sad, mopy, and energy-less b/c Geri's not in the studio. they don't have that previous fun, spark and grit in their voices like on the previous 2 albums. i keep imagining that they were crying over geri and the future of the group right before they started recording the song i am listening to. there's nothing catchy or good! Holler is only ok. and like the Amazon review so rightly said, seems like they are stealing music from other people. the reviewer sums up this album perfectly when they say, this has all been heard before.

Not a comedy
This movie has the set up of a classic sitcom. Divorce guy meets attractive woman who takes care of almost 30 year old, son, who acts like a teenager. A classic recipe for comedy. The trailer of the movie shows the movie to be a fun comedy like Step brothers. If you think that this is the case: You are wrong. The movie actually tries to be a drama with some funny scenes in it. The work of every actor in it, is actually pretty good but the story is weak. The choice to make this a drama really hurts the movie. If this movie was a 100% comedy I think it would've work. But unfortunately the p.r. people prefer to entrap the audience with a deceitful trailer. My recommendation is to rent and not buy, unless you are a hardcore fan of any of the people involve in the movie.

What problems?? This works great!!
I bought my zune 30gb used for $75 and I had no idea how to use it. It is my first multimedia player and I've never owned anything before this. I had problems at first getting the zune device to be reconized by the software, so I looked for some help on the internet and a website said that the front USB ports on a computer are generally weaker than the ports that are located in the back on the motherboard itself. So i connected the zune to one of the USB ports on the back of the computer. Since then, no problems. It's easy to sync songs, and it's easy to edit mp3 tags so you can organize the music the way you want to. The video and audio tracks sound great! My mp3's are all encoded at 192kbits-256kbits, so everything is high quality. I throw on my Bose Tri-port headphones and I'm set! Everything on it works great: 2,125 MP3's (no wma, or acc), 8 videos, 10 pictures, 2 games. and I've only used 13.11GB, leaving me with another 14.68GB to fill it up with!

Send Me No Flowers
Oh Boy! This was a good one! Tony Randall was funny, especially when he was writing the eulogy and kept taking all the nice comments out of it the night the two men spent together. Doris Day was "on to her husband's antics". A true "hypochondriac" in the best way I've ever seen. I just loved the scene when Rock (her husband in the movie) was purchasing the cemetary plots and Paul Lynde was excellent as the salesman. You could tell he was really into his work! I've seen the doctor in several Disney movies too and he plays the part well. And the medicine cabinet......oh my! That was something to see. If you want to have some entertainment, this is certainly a movie to watch. You won't regret seeing it and besides, it's a good movie to share with friends for an evening. Order a pizza or two and ........enjoy the movie!

The beginning of the legend
During the revolution one man strikes fear into the hearts of all. Battousai the Manslayer. He ruthlessly murders anyone who gets in his way. He does have a confused and gentle side that only one person can see. Tomoe encounters Kenshin Himura and witnesses a battle. After seeing that they become closer and eventually open up to each other. After a crushing defeat Kenshin and Tomoe are sent into hiding. They begin to live a normal life together.This is the beginning of the Rurouni Kenshin legend. It is much darker that the TV series. Kenshin is much more of a soulless killer than you were led to believe in the TV show. The animation and voice acting are also different. This show seems like it was made by completely different people. It is very good, and gives ou a new perspective on the TV show. I recommend it to any fan of the Rurouni Kenshin series.

Top notch Hollywood entertainment
"Bolt" is top notch Hollywood entertainment, and many movies in one. It's a cool spy action movie, with great explosions and chases. It's a buddy road trip, with adventure and humor. It's Lassie, showing the strong bond between a kid and her dog. In short, "Bolt", much like "The Incredibles", has nearly everything I hope for in a movie: action, heart, and laughs. There was much more to it than I saw in the trailers and TV ads. I thought this movie would be significantly inferior to a Pixar movie, but it turned out to be nearly as good. I would expect this movie to have universal appeal, with its cute and lovable characters. It looks and sounds pristine on Blu-ray. The extras are very short, but include a nice extra cartoon with one of the characters from the movie. Most extras are the standard behind the scenes footage. Reviewed 4/20/2009 after watching on Blu-ray.

Don't waste your money
As a 1st time Mom, I registered for a diaper genie because I thought it sounded wonderful. Well, it's not. Now that my son is 6 months old, it stinks. I have spent a fortune on refill bags. No more, I bought a Diaper Champ this past weekend. It is so much easier to use. You just flip the handle and the diaper drops into a regular trash bag. I do not have to bend over and twist anything. When the bag is full, you just take it out. No more cutting, pulling, twisting, or knotting bags. I have decided to trash my Diaper Genie. At least this way, I am only using a trash bag instead of a refill and a trash bag. My suggestion-Don't waste your money on a Diaper Genie.

No Blu-Ray? Seriously?
First, let me say this is one of the best shows of the past several years. A great, intriguing storyline, top-notch production values, and excellent cast. It's also one of the most visually stunning shows I've ever seen - it reminds me in places of 2001: A Space Odyssey - and it looks absolutely gorgeous in HD. Which makes the decision not to release the show on Blu-Ray all the more puzzling? Who's going to buy this? Hard-core fans. And hard-core fans are going to want to see the show in all of it's wonderful detail, not dumbed down to DVD resolution. What a ridiculous waste. The show was FILMED in HD, it was BROADCAST in HD, it was intended for HD from day one. So why not sell it in HD? Just the last of many tragic blunders that were made in the way this show was handled.

A Classic: A Gem of a Movie
I came upon this movie by accident late one night and thought, if nothing else, the stellar cast will save it. I needn't have worried. This is truly one of the most cinematically beautiful movies I've ever seen. If it's a little slow to start, give it a chance, you won't be disappointed. The twists and turns leave you breathless, with the tension building until you don't think you can take any more. And you won't be able to guess the ending. This is a 'feel good' movie that could be a blend of The Fisher King, What Dreams May Come and The Neverending Story. If you loved any of these, you'll adore this. Not to mention, it's perfectly safe for any family member. If someone gives it a bad review it's probably because they expected the usual amount of gratuitous sex, profanity and violence. This movie is refreshingly free of that.

Still good and totally worth your money
First, I am a fan of the "new" older Chili Peppers, and think their last few albums have been great complete albums, which is a rarity by itself anymore. The fact you can get a DOUBLE album for the price of one makes this the best deal out there right now.And I'm not saying this entire thing is classic, there is plenty of filler, but I have compiled my own personal Stadium Arcadium compendium (ahem), picking my faves and creating one very strong single album:1. Dani California2. C'mon Girl3. Tell Me Baby4. Charlie5. Make You Feel Better6. Snow ((Hey Oh))7. Hard to Concentrate8. Slow Cheetah9. Especially In Michigan10. 21st Century11. Wet Sand12. Desecration SmileSo that's what I think, you could easily listen to these songs straight through and start it over again. You may not agree, I am def a fan of their more chill harmonizing and catchy guitar stuff, but I would also love to see other peoples' "greatest hits" of this album.

Not so great.
Why everyone thinks this game is so much fun, I can't understand. Thats just the thing; the game isn't very fun. There is nothing very entertaining about walking around, finding ship parts, and bringing them back. A game needs challenges, which Pikmin doesn't have. Sure, there are monsters to kill, but all you do is lead your Pikmin to them and hope they come out on top. And the monsters are too silly-looking to be taken seriously. It can be fun to an extent, though. Commanding vast hoards of Pikmin do give you a certain type of pleasure. They do your bidding, and you relax. For example, you have one set carry back a ship part, another set carry a flower, have another set work on knocking down a wall, while you and another set scout ahead.But the game just isn't entertaining or engaging. I was never eager to go back for more, whereas in other games I can't stay away. I'm glad I just rented it.

Completely Practical and Understanding
This book will not give a religious view of salvation, but a true biblical view of what salvation IS and what it is NOT. This book will prove to you that once you "get saved", you are not necessarily always going to be saved--it all depends on your views of sin. Do you have a worldly view of sin, or do you see sin as God does? This book will set you straight. As you read it, you may think it strict! Yeah, but Glory to God in the Highest, this book may very well be a catalyst in changing your mind on some things and in the end, saving your soul and your spirit from death! An awesome book from an awesome evangelist. All of his works should be read by those who have a serious desire to know what religion has been falsely preaching. I praise God for giving Charles Finney such a profound view of Christianity and the Body of Christ. If you think you have a calling on your life, please do yourself a great big favor and read this book! You will be very glad you did!!!

Absolute garbage! Non-sensical plot, zero character development. Not worth seeing - not even on video. I cant believe this movie was made. The first Matrix was cool, with a unique sci-fi slant and awesome special effects. This movie is complete junk; pointless and dumb. I went to the movie with 7 people and we all came out asking 'what was this even about? '. I figure the brothers were given a boatload of money to make a sequel and they figured '... hey lets make it 3 movies, we can sass it up with cool effects and make gallons of cash cause the movie going public are idiots.' Well -- they're plan worked. I should have known better than to see a Keanu Reeves sequel. The first movie worked IN SPITE of Reeves. In hindsight, I fell into the stupid Hollywood trap again.

Good Wholesome Fun
If you are a Sonic fan you must see this movie. I'm not a big fan of anime but this is great. The characters and backgrounds look superb and are very well done. The voice acting is pretty good, Martin Burke's Sonic was fine but got a little irritatting toward the end,Lianie Frasier's Tails voice was incredibly annoying, but Bill Wise as Knuckles was the best of all. Knuckles sounded good and was my favorite. The action was great and it served up alot of great scenes. A little sexual innudeo here and there but it was still very good.SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!Sonic rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The Movie rules!!!!Highly reccomended. And the movie also knows how not to overstay its welcome. At 60 minutes it delivers its goods and gets out leaving us wanting more.

Oneness is the only biblical way !!!
Oneness is the only Biblical way to describe God. All the other ways like the trinity are shooting in the dark. I have to admit that the trinity is one of the most impressive weapons used by the devil to send people to hell. There is no way you can make it to heaven believing in more than one God. Even satan knows there is only 1 God and he has seen him (James 2:19) "You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble!". I know that if you believe in the trinity, you have not received the gift of the Holy Ghost meaning that you are lost and living without the living water flowing from you. Sorry to tell you but you still the same old man. You are no different than the rest of the world and if you try, it will only last for a season. You should read your bible and experience God. Acts 2:38

Loved It, But It Was Missing Something . . . . .
I really wanted to love this movie. It was beautifully written. Pacino's speeches as the mayor of New York City were powerful and full of melodrama . . . the good kind of melodrama that made you realize that he was manipulating everyone until the very end. Cusack was great in this movie that gave him a chance to show off his superb acting skills. He completely takes on the persona of the naive politican from Louisana who realizes that the fine web of political intrigue he's in the middle of may be the trap that destoys him and New York. Bridget Fonda also stars as a lawyer wholly devoted to getting justice for her client, the wife of a murdered police officer. As I said, I wanted to love this movie, but I never really got a chance to identify with the characters. But, on the other hand, that may have been the idea all along. A great realistic drama, that I would recommend to see at least once.

A Terrible Revival
I sort of consider myself somewhat of an Annie Get Your Gun junkie. When I heard that a rival of this show was being done, I ran to buy this disc. Bernadette Peters and Tom Wopat are very good, but the story and music have been rendered unrecognizable from the original. The story has been sanitized to be politically correct. Trying not to offend American Indians, the Overture, Colonel Buffalo Bill, and I'm An Indian Too are all cut. Also, who was responsible for the musical arrangements? Simply awful. Just compare My Defenses Are Down to past recordings and you'll see what I mean. It sounds too modern and out place for a song that was being sung in the 1800's. For crying out loud, why not keep the music in the era and spirit that it was intended? Thank goodness other classic recordings exist. Don't waste your time with this one. If you want to see how this story and music should be treated, rent or buy the 1950 movie when it becomes available this November.

Bond 50
This review is by a fifty-something male who has watched all the Bond shows previously. Some salient points I'd make are:1. I bought the DVD collection for about $100, so the cost per movie seemed acceptable.2. Show quality was good.3. Nice to have them all together, even the Roger Moore ones.4. Interesting to watch through the series how the Bond character evolves from the suave, rump-spanking chauvinistic character of the sixties (Connery) to the damaged-goods sensitivity of the "new millenium" Bond (Craig).5. The singular irritating thing that the producers of the DVD did was to make the audience endure a short commercial touting the Bond series, as well as the FBI warning. You can't bail out early. How f_______ irksome! Why advertise what we have already bought?6. I'd still recommend the purchase despite the forced commercial.

Only album of 2001 that sounded the call
I can't believe this band isn't huge. It's impossible to listen to this music and be a cynic. The first track draws you in, and never loosens its grip. Lift to Experience is the greatest band to come from TEXAS in a very long time. They are not country, neither should they be compared to anyone. The guitar is EQ'd perfectly. The bass lines hover in a trance just underneath the wall of guitar perfection. Their Drummer Andy Young should be compared to likes of Keith Moon or John Bonham. The energy of the TEXAS JERUSALEM CROSSROADS flows with passion and realism. By the end of the album, one wants to leave to find the train that's "a commin." These songs will move you."WE SHALL BE FREE! WE SHALL BE FREE! WE SHALL BE FREE!"

This Pocket Guide was no help at all.
My husband is building a garage. We had an inspector come out and he wanted some things corrected. Well, we thought this book might clarify a few things. It did not. The codes are all listed but they don't tell you what the specs. are on many things. Like code 300-5 Underground Installations. It tells you to refer to table 300-5. The table isn't in the book! I couldn't find it and neither could my husband. The tables are in numerical order, but it just skips over that one, and I suspect many others as there are numerical gaps. In my opinion, save your money and purchase something else.

A waste of money if ever there was one!
I have one cat and I have wasted my money on stupid things in my life e.g. drugs, women, wine, etc. But this has to be the biggest waste of money I ever wasted. From the start there was trouble, it didn't clean properly, and then I had to clean this machine and let me tell you that was no fun. Then it worked for about two weeks. I was happy. My cat was happy. Then it stopped working. I guess the motor broke or something, who knows. I just threw it out after about a month of hassle. I mean, if you want to be involved with your cat's feces then this is the box for you as you will always be checking to see if the thing is working or not. Do yourself a favor, waste your money elsewhere.

This book is dull
Very unimaginative. For all of those reviewers who are assuming that anyone with anything negative to say has not read the book, I read it. It read pretty much like a Nora Roberts novel and about as educational. For all of those who are soooo impressed that Horowitz uses endnotes and footnotes, HELLO, that doesn't mean a thing! Just because something is contained in an endnote does not make it God's truth. If that is the case, all I need to do is write half my thesis in superscript and everyone will think I am a genius. I'm just disappointed that no one I worked with personally is listed. My entire goal in life is to be in a book just like this. You really know that you're changing the world when people call you dangerous. See: Jesus in New Testament.You think liberals at universities is scary, you should see the type of person leading the average American church. That's really scary.

Stopped Working X2
We purchased this game for my son's birthday. Wish I would have read the reviews on here first. We all had quite a bit of fun with the game, but it stopped working after about 1/2 hour of play. I called the manufacturer the next day and they offered to send out a replacement. The person I spoke to on the phone said that I was the first one to call in with this problem. The second one arrived today... Well, my 4 year old was playing with it at the kitchen table while I was cooking supper. It stopped working! UNBELIEVABLE!! Well, my son is now very upset, asking if I still love him, etc. He thinks he broke this thing twice. He was hitting it with the mallet... but isn't that the whole idea? It did not get dropped, thrown or anything like that. I guess we will be returning it and getting a different toy. Too bad, it was pretty fun while it lasted.

Let me reiterate.. I HATE this book
How could you? How could you take such an awesome title and lace it with evil, mind-bending, homocidic confusion?! This book's got me making up words. Here's the rundown. Okay, here we go:Intriguing Characters - CheckPage Turning Storyline - CheckOprah likes it lots - CheckDeranged family drawing you in - CheckSuicidal thoughts while reading - CheckMatches to burn this book by thetime I'm down to the last 5 pages - Check, check, check, check and check!I wrote an Amazon review years ago, but it is gone gone gone. As is my settled stomach, my peaceful countenance, 5 hours of my time and my willingess to trust Oprah, good titles and acclaimed writers. I can't leave this book uncanned! It stinks like a neglected vase of flowers. And to think, a scholarly seemingly coy Jehovah's witness promised me I'd love it. The world is so cold. Hate is such a strong word, yes. But also so very appropriate in the case of The Book of Ruth. Blasphemous.

Queen Betsy, you have let me down
I enjoyed the first Queen Betsy novel, so I read the second. I enjoyed that one, although not quite as much, so read the third. I will not read any more of MaryJanice Davidson's novel. The first thing that put me off is the credit at the beginning. Perhaps Ms. Davidson meant to be funny, but I didn't find it funny when her credit for the novel is to - herself. Several times herself. Sorry, but I know all good books have many people involved including caregivers, babysitters, friends, neighbors and all the publishing house employees down to the typist.Okay, so I went on. I have been tolerating her bad language, but then she had to insert a very graphic sex scene that just turned me off. The combination of the frequent coarse language (come on Ms. Davidson, we have a 'few' more words than cussing in our language!) and then the graphic sex - nope. Not going to read anymore. Too bad, she had an interesting premise.

Don't Bother
I'm very dissapointed in how much I paid for this product. They don't really teach you how to sound out letters. It's more of a review if you already know the sounds. My four year old watches the Leap Letter factory over and over. He didn't even make it through 20 minutes of this one. The music sounds like a child choir, and doesn't sound varied. Each of the 3 levels are the same, slightly different concepts. No new idieas with new concepts. I'd say this DVD is worth about $10 not $30. if you want a couple good videos, go with Leap Letter and Leap Word factory. THEY are outstanding and less expensive. Only $9.99 at Target. My boys (4 and 6) can't get enough of the Leap Frog series.

So cute!
I love the cloud b Twilight Turtle! I gave this to my daughter around one year of age. She is now three and still uses it every night. It is so nice, projecting stars and a moon over the entire ceiling. She loves to find the moon every night before bed. It has four buttons, one off/on and three other buttons for the color of the stars (amber, green, blue). The battery lasts forever, I can't even remember the last time I changed it. My son at 6 months of age is very interested in the twilight turtle. I believe that I will have to purchase one for him soon. This is one of my go to gifts for new babies and young ones. My husband and I were saying that we need one in our room, yes it is really that cute.

Great tool while it remains in one piece.
I bought one of these 4 years ago, and loved it. The blade looked to be decent steel with a very glossy/shiny mirror-like finish. Under heavy prying I'd occasionally feel it start to flex, and would back off before damaging the tool. After 4 years, I finally wore it out. So, I happily ordered a replacement in summer 2010. When I received it, I immediately noticed the difference in appearance. The blade had a freckled/frosty finish. It appeared to be a different alloy. The second time I used the new version of the tool, while applying much less pressure than the first one would consistantly withstand, it snapped in two. Broke cleanly at the weld between blade and handle. It's a shame they have become so fragile, the blade size and comfort of the handle were perfect for me.

WATER LEAK WITHIN 2 MONTHS
I bought this item 2 months ago. I worked so well, I couldn't believe it. The bristles were soft, it cleaned great, it was portable, and it didn't take up room on the sink. I thought it was wonderful and was very happy with it.A few days ago, it started working intermittantly. I replaced the batteries. Still worked intermittantly. I replaced the batteries. It made a faint humming sound. I knew there was a problem and decided to look up reviews on the internet. I saw people were having the same experience and it was due to water leakage ruining the batteries.I will contact the Philips Co. and let them know. I really love this toothbrush and hope they will correct the leak situation. When they do, I would definitely buy a new one.

Interesting, but not accurate
The primary informant on Hopi beliefs consulted by Frank Waters was Oswald "White Bear" Fredericks. Oswald was married to a white woman, had been converted to Christianity, and was not a fully initiated Hopi Indian. Thus, as one might expect, many of the traditions reported in this book are inaccurate. See: McLeod, Roxie. Dreams and rumors: a history of "Book of the Hopi". Thesis (M.A.)--Univ. of Colorado, 1994. Pp. 330. MLA. For a more accurate version of Hopi beliefs, try "The Fourth World of the Hopis" by Harold Courlander.

What can I say...
That hasn't already been said? This movie manages to take what seems like a simple yet intriguing plot and turn it into a 90 minute festering pile of dog s**t (sorry to be so descriptive). The acting is extremely poor. Be sure to emphasize the extremely. The characters are moronic. A lot of the film does not make sense, for instance, towards the end of the "movie" when the three main stars of the film are in some sort of Satanic-Killjoy circle, one of the kids tells the others that they can't leave the circle. How the hell does he know this? It's stupid. This is horrible. And not so horrible it's good. Just horrible.

A Rare Find!!
The Day I Fell Down's "Sweet to be Strange" is one of those "rare finds". It's one of those records that you just don't want to take off your CD player. It seems to me that every song just gets better and more interesting with every listening. I like records like that! The Day I Fell features two distictive and talented singer songwriters: Guitarist, vocalist Robert Dan and Bassist vocalist Bradley Hooper And yes a very good drummer... While I don't know or care who's singing on what song I do know that the blend of their voices together is just sublime, and like nothing I've heard!! I don't like to make comparisons but imagine The Beatles, Radiohead, The Police, a little Jeff Buckley some Sublime all blended together in a rockin, melodious unforgettable Pop circus... Every song is unique and truthfully thier own. My personal favorites seem to change on a daily basis. I like a record like that. 5 stars and kudos to The Day I Fell Down!!

OH MAN I CANNOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!
Jacie Collins' books since the last Lucky novel (which is one of my top 5 favorite books of hers) have not been that impressive. In fact, they have all paled next to "Revenge". I knew this one would kick butt, and it does! I CANNOT put it down, since I started reading it yesterday. It just keeps getting better and better. It's so fun to read about continuing characters like Jack Nicholson and Madon--oops! I mean Charlie Dollar and Venus. (even though I can't stand Madonna, Venus is much more likeable than she is). Now the new characters, such as Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks-oops, I mean Lina and DiDi are entertaining too (though so far nothing's been able to top the last one where the German Victoria's Secret Model turns out to really be a man!) Jackie Collins always satisfies when she writes about Lucky. I'm in the last 100 pages of this book now and you could not pay me enough to put it down and not find out what happens next. To be continued.

sadly... this is pretty bad.
Let me start by saying I love the stuff I've read from John Vorhaus on-line (I think at UltimateBet)... very good, very informative. But this? There is almost nothing useful in this book. I am extremely disappointed and I should have paid more attention to the other reviews. There's some decent advice in there but not much. The last third of the book finally begins to discuss online play in a more meaningful way. Again, I really like what I've read from John online, but this was a waste of money. Just my humble opinion. Even so, based on what I have read from him online, I may even take a look at his other "Killer Poker" book. But I will take more stock in the the reviews. BTW - best holdem book PERIOD?.... "Harrington on Holdem - Vol 1 - Strategic Play" - Dan Harrington.

AWFUL MACHINE
I received the Krups as a birthday gift. I have used it a little over a year. I have not had any luck getting the epsresso side to work, but loved the coffee, so I kept it. It has been leaking water out onto my counter for months. I took the back apart yesterday and to my terror, as the coffee maker ran, water was running down a hose and onto the electrical wires below. THE END. VERY DANGEROUS MACHINE.I will not plug it back in. Taking the back off to see what was going on convinced me that this was one messed up machine. A true safety issue. I called customer service, ship it in and a minimum of $30 for them to even open the box, and would not give any estimate of charges. All of the wires have been soaked over time and the plating on the bottom has corroded, screws are rusted, so this has been going on for some time. I will not send it back in for repair.

Interesting. Just......Interesting
This was an okay novel, but I suspect I am missing a lot, not being particularly attuned to symbolism or Catholic eschatology. So, I had to read it as just a crime story although the introduction to the book by J.M. Coetzee did shed some necessary light on the book's theme. I found the book interesting for its view of life in the English beach town of Brighton and for some of the characters. Also, it goes without saying, Greene is a master wordsmith. But I also found parts of the book somewhat contrived, particularly Ida's obsession with catching Pinkie to avenge the murder of a corrupt newspaperman she met briefly at the book's opening. But, maybe what I think is contrived is the ethereal stuff I mention at the beginning of this review. This is only the second work of Greene's I've read and I still have his more major books ahead of me. Some say this was not his best. I hope that's the case. It's a good story, but not a page turner.

Love is the answer
Well, I hate this book. I think the logic in it is deeply flawed and narrow. I think that even when she has good historical points she's privy to 20-20 hindsight and is unable (or refuses) to digest the many external variables that effected historical events.But more importantly, I'm very concerned about the corrosive nature of this kind of book on the country. I'm worried that there is a growing group on the far-right of the spectrum, perhaps 10 million people, who read this like gospel and thus live in a sort of dream-reality. It's a very unhealthy trend.She constantly says that her adversary is 'evil'. I believe Evil exists. Stalin was evil. To say that it's a common trait is an irresponsible and incendiary practice.I don't think she can be discredited, because I'm not sure she is able to feel any shame at being proven wrong. She'll refuse to accept it and just keep on going. And of course she has her right to freedom of speech. I only hope the country can withstand her.

Great canera!
The Nikon N80 has everything you want for its price. Each feature that the camera offers is easily accessed and can help you make the perfect image. The lighting meter, which can be seen in the viewfinder, is very sensitive and accurate, which also will be very helpful, espeially in full manual. The colors are perfectly saturated, even on cheap CVS brand film. It's fast, easy to use, and fun to shoot. All you need is a little background research and not much money. The downsides are that the camera is mostly plastic, which if you want a more professional feeling camera, could lead to a problem. The most apparent problem however, is the slow flash sync of 1/125 of a second. But for me, I rarely use my flash, so it shouldn't prove as an issue. All in all, Nikon really outdid themselves on this camera. If you enjoy a fast and easy camera for great images, but this camera!

A Clever Conundrum!
This is an excellent episode! The way in which the episode was filmed keeps the watcher intrigued througout the entire show. In the opening segment, the camera, as it nears the beginning credits, the camera focuses in on the three main chairs of the bridge, introducing Commander McDuff, a "new member" of the crew. At first, this could have been any boring "what happened?" episode, but with the new character introduced, it sets up for a very perplexing situation.The crew slowly progresses . . . which usually equals a boring episode, but not in this case. Every so often there is a new twist to interest the watcher even more. Therefore, this episode never gives you a chance to turn it off, for something new and startling is always happening. Even a bit of a love twist!

Kurt Cobain is the greatest singer that has ever lived
I love Kurt Cobain and have for a while now. The book by Rolling Stones show the greatest pictures of Kurt Cobain. He was a good singer and they showed how wonderful Kurt was. The facts are wonderful and for those who want to learn about him this is a great book to offer. He was a good man who will always live in my heart. He brought a new type of grunge music into this world that was like no other music out there. He changed music forever. He was a great man and this book shows how wonderful he was. He will never fade away. Kurt Cobain may you rest in peace. Katelyn

Pass this up for one that works! 2 DOB inn a row!
I bought one from a retail store. Took it home. It would not work. I have a generic HP desktop with a run of the mill VGA card in it. I also have a Dell 5150 laptop.Hooking it up, nothing! Hooked it to the desktop and to the notebook separately --nada. So returned it as DOB.They sent me a second one by RMA. Now I have paid retail price and the cost of the return post for the RMA.Next one -- AGAIN DOB dead out of the box. I tried it on another computer, still no working!I have taken it back to the store, and they say get the refund from Belkin...which will cost me another shipping cost... Instead of adding it up, I threw it in the trash and wrote off the cost.I have used many Belkin products with great sucess. But two DOB in a row is too much. Avoid this at all costs!

Mostly awful
What a shame about Steely Dan. The immaculate production and stellar musicianship that Becker & Fagen and their various cohorts are known for are present in spades - but the album is junk.Steely Dan albums are not usually boring. Two Against Nature is. Only "What A Shame About Me" and the catchy, hilarous "Cousin Dupree" are even halfway decent. Everything else on this album is insubstantial, colorless wallpaper - tasteful, but bland.Some folks have compared Two Against Nature to Donald Fagen's last album, Kamakiriad. I would have to agree. When I first heard that album, I thought, "Can you say 'no musical development whatsoever'?" Two Against Nature answers that question with a resounding "NO".What a shame.P.S. - Okay, it's not quite that bad. Two Against Nature does make for decent background listening once in a while. But, I still wish it were better.

Not as good as older units
I have two older WaterPik shower heads which I love. I really like the misting function of the ones I have. They do fail after about 2 years - although I imagine folks with hard water would do worse. I have just gotten into routinely replacing. This time there were new models. The "old" misting mode is really a fine mist, almost fog. Individual droplets too small to see. The "new" one just sprays water small droplets over a 90 degree cone getting water up and over the shower curtain. For those who would know what I mean, the droplets are about a microliter. Gets the floor outside the shower wet. Not good.For me, this was a fatal flaw.

Love it
I happened on this on public television last week and my stomach hurt from laughing. (It was Episode 2, which was probably the best.) I had to immediately order the DVD's. The supporting cast is excellent. I am a huge Hugh Laurie and House fan, but he is incredibly engaging in this. Also becoming a big Benedict Cumberbatch fan. I felt smitten with him in this as the oldest son. Just in scenes where he is smiling at his family, he is marvelous. (Recently enjoyed his starmarking turn in Sherlock from the BBC.) This comedy is very modern and could have had a long run, I think. But then we never would have had House.

Um, no
[This is a copy of the review for the slotted version of this product.]I should have sent this back immediately. The utensil is thin and inexpensively made. It's too flexible, and don't think for a minute it's anywhere near the quality of an Oxo product, even though it's priced like one. It's a low quality product from China. And I don't mean that in a good way. The vendor clearly has no interest in generating customer goodwill or repeat buyers.To add insult to injury, they used a sticker on the back of the bowl that was inmpossible to remove without using GooGone. Come on, people. In this day and age? Use product stickers that can be removed, especially when we're talking about kitchen stuff.If you need a nylon spoon, go to your local supermarket and spend $3 on whatever they have in their kitchen aisle. You'll be better off. Or spend the extra money for an Oxo product. They're worth it.

Headphone Jack Defective
I've used my Zen Xtra very little - mostly on long road trips plugged into my car stereo, or on long flights. It's received very, very light use. Even so, the headphone jack on it is totally broken, rendering the player completely useless. This is apparently a common problem with these players - the jack is flimsily attached to the main board of the player. It clearly takes only the lightest use to sever the headphone jack connections, and once it breaks you can't do a thing about it. Bye bye Zen Xtra. Do a web search and you will come up with numerous web sites talking about this issue. It's a well known issue. Creative refuses to fix it even though it is clearly a defect in the product. They want to charge close to one hundred dollars to fix it - half the price of what I originally paid for the unit. Yeah - it costs less than an IPod, but all I can say is you get what you pay for.

No replacement for gas!
I think most of the people giving this edger a 5 star rating have not had a gas edger. Coming from a gas edger I was dissapointed in the power and cutting ability of this edger. I had one of the little two-stroke gas edgers before this one and I thought I would try electric but I was sorry I did. Even the little bitty gas edger put this one to shame in power and cutting quality. This edger only cuts about 60% of the grass and the rest it pushes away! It makes the job harder to because it barely has enough power making you the operator put forth more work to get it through the grass. It does not cut nearly as sharp an edge as a gas edger either. I took mine back to Lowes and got there 5 HP 4 cycle Model 554 Troy-Bilt for $250.00 and boy am I glad I did. Effortless power, easy to start, no cord hassel, and way a better cutting job. I tried electricity and I am back to gas. If you haven't tried gas you owe it to yourself to try one. You will never go back to electric.Dennis Mau

Like 2 Different Stories Put Together in 1 Series
I rented the first disc(ep.1-4)and after watching it I then bought this collection at a great price. I thought the first 6 episodes of Scrapped Princess was really fun. It had a little bit of action, interesting characters and moved pretty quickly. I mean the story rarely fooled around. Then something happened. The characters stopped growing, the fun left and the story took on some kind of matrix feel. The cool side characters left and in came in my opinion dull and boring characters. It was like someone started the story and then gave it to someone else after episode 6. It got to a point where I really didn't care what happened to the characters (and the story) after episode 12. Anyway it looks like I'm in the minority here but I felt I needed to put up my opposing view so as too keep the rating honest. Just my opinion like everyone else.

VERA, VERA, VERA
This was a good book. It lets you know that we all come from different backgrounds. Vera just could not let go, that her mother threw her away, was on drugs and wasn't there for her. Her father was a pimp who got her mother pregnant. Her friends Shannon, Lee and Angie were wild. There were times when I could not stand Lee. She was so dumb and blind. Taj... oh how I wish he was real. He was the man I wanted. Reading this book made me feel as if I were there. Roger was a psycho. I had read 'Game Over' before this, but I'm not made. Usually I can't read part two before I read part one. There were times I wanted to cry because of the pain Vera was in, but in order to have your life you have to move on. You can forgive, but in her case she couldn't forget.

It's not the best... but its still Star Wars
Ok, I was one of many in the theather who saw the film and came out going WOW, THAT WAS SO COOL, but now looking back at it, I dont think it was that great. The big problem with it is ACTING. Anakin and Obi-Wan especially were bad in this area. Its like they were trying to hard or to little. But I dont think they could have picked a better man for anakin. Even thou his character in this film stank, I can see how much he is ganna kick a** in Episode III. I think this got more on track with the story of the OT, from EPI 1. Another thing that is bad, is that there is no buildup to fights. There all just rushed into, and with the dialog as well. To rushed, they never just sat down and gave dialog to much. But, I have seen 100x worse then this film, so I give it 4 *, but I have seen 100X better, so thats why only 4.

A disappointment
Cold war thrillers are one of my guilty pleasures and I was expecting a little-known gem after reading the other reviews. But this book was somewhat of a disappointment.The dialogue seems forced and even stilted. For example, several Americans are asked to join a trip. After one accepts, another says, "I, also, of course." Now, have you ever heard an American say "I, also" instead of "me, too"?The lead female character is also a problem. Almost none of her actions or dialogue rang true for me. She seemed liked nothing more than a clumsy device to move the plot along. If the plot required a tantrum, she threw a tantrum. What's worse, for a thriller, this book wasn't very, well, thrilling. The first half of the book seemed to drag, although it did pick up in the second half.SEMI-SPOILER ALERT: I also disliked the ending, or should I say, the non-ending. When you stick with an author (or in this case, authors) for 307 pages, you deserve some sort of payoff.

Amazing
Simply a stunning TV. Caught it at $1700 about a week ago. After some fine tuning with the picture, I couldn't be more impressed. The delivery guy stared at it in awe after turning it on. It's beautiful and plays Xbox 360 games flawlessly. The DNLe technology tones down the grittiness of standard broadcasts, making them less of an eyesore, and the contrast and color range are amazing. My only gripe is that the viewing angle is slightly limited, but this is only if you're sitting close to the set. Sitting farther than eight feet should present no problems. Without a doubt, this is the best TV you can buy at this price.(Another thing to note is that these sets don't look very good in regular stores. The pictures have't been tuned so they have a gray, washed-out look to them. They look so much better after tuning.)

Still waiting for the old style to come back
Like others that have commented, this tape is a far cry from the original. I remodel kitchens and bathrooms...also have a shop for building cabinets. My partner and I used the old style Leverlock until the new improved version came out. I bought as many old styles as I could find at hardware stores and on eBay when the change was made. Now we are out of good tape measures. My partner buys a simple green locking tape from Wal-Mart, and I struggle with the old remaining tapes looking for a good replacement tape insert that isn't the cost of a case of beer. I have used a few of the knock-offs from Sears, but they seem to have stopped making those too (black wasn't any good anyway). One of the biggest problems I had with the ball shaped new style was I couldn't quickly set it on a counter or bench. It would roll off. The old box style just stayed there. Sorry Stanley, get some new engineers to re-think the tape measure. This is like the New Coke.

This Book Stinks!
I used to love Tom Clancy as an author. I waited months to get my copy of the Bear and the Dragon. I even went to a bookstore across the street from my job, stood in a long line and got Mr. Clancy to sign my copy. After reading about 190 pages or so, I threw the book, with autograph, in the trash. This was one of the worst books that I have ever opened. The profanity, vulgarity and explicit sex scences were too much for me. I could also mention the typos and the strange languge, i.e., "honey-bunny." This was not a good book! I am sure that some could argue that I should have completed the book before I formed his opinion. Believe me, I tried. However, when Mr. Clancy had Mary Pat use a vulgar four letter term for the male sex organ, I knew I was through. This was the third time the term had been used. Needless to say, this is my last Clancy.

would not recommend
I bought two of these beds thinking they would be great for my dogs. They worked great for about a month. After a month, that's when all the problems started to happen. First I noticed tiny holes started to show up from my dogs getting on and off of the bed. I assume it's from their nails. I trim my dogs nails and they're not long at all so it shouldnt be doing that. Then, The bars started to bend. I bought the right size for my dogs weight so it should'nt be doing that either. The screws came loose constaintly and I always had to tighten them atleast a few times a week. Then the cover started to stretch so the holes got bigger and at this point when my dogs lay on it, there laying on the floor. I am very disappointed with this product and would not recommend it at all. This product was obviously made cheap, and was a waiste of my money.

I would not recommend this product to anyone!!!!
I bought the Princess DVD player and TV in August 2005. We had issues with it from the get go. The first issue that we noticed was occasionally the DVD tray would stick and only come out about a quarter of an inch, then you would have to grab it and pull it out. Sometimes it would not respond to the eject command. I would have to push eject several times and when the tray would jut out ever so slightly, I had to be ready to grab it. Sometimes I would have to get something thin enough to slide into the tray and pry it open. Just recently, the tray stopped coming out all together. I ended up breaking the tray trying to get a prized movie out. Now it won't close, open or read disks. It is very disappointing since the TV and DVD player go together and the design works great with my daughters room, which is limited on space. I would not recommend this product to anyone, unless they have money to throw away.

Durable Through It All
A coming of age story full of the pain and confusion of adolescence.Twelve-year-old Katie lives with her older sister Diane and widowed father. The recent loss of her mother, the upcoming move to a new Army base, and Diane's romance with Dickie Mac coincide with Katie's sometime reluctant loss of childhood.The writing is emotionally wrenching. "I fold up my pajama bottoms into a neat square. My mother gave them to me. They are too small, but I am running out of things she touched to put next to me." "I have started my period and I am alone...I lay my hand across my stomach, feel the outline of the belt. Just making sure. It's always that way with the biggest things: they never feel real. You have to keep on checking them forever."The contrast of child-to-adult thinking sears the story of a young girl who can't connect with her surviving, sometimes abusive, parent. She is left to find her own way. She is durable.

Only 72 hours Warranty
I bought the Spectorsoft Spector Pro 5.0 and installed it on three computers in my home. No where on the box did it indicate a license restriction. In less than a week I received an e-mail from [email protected] that I would have to pay them another $139.00 or they would disable the software on all computers I installed it on. Since I paid $100 for the product and was not going to be forced to purchase more licenses, I removed all copies and asked them for a refund. They said I had 72 hours and would not refund the product after that. They conveniently waited for that period to expire before telling me that I had the product installed on more than one computer. Hence, I am out $100 and have no program. This program allows you to spy on people but you are the one being spied on by Spectorsoft. Also don't let them fool you into thinking you also need Eblaster, a different name for virtually the same product. You'll be spied on and robbed too! Spectorsoft is unethical.

DO NOT BUY THIS
I bought this heap the first time in 2002 and by March 2004 the display no longer worked properly. I called HP and they said they were aware of such a problem and sent me a new one although I was outside the 1 year warranty. March of 2006 the second one's display no longer works properly. When I called HP and asked about replacing they said "you are outside the warranty." I asked if they new about the problem they apparently have. The goof I talked to said "he was not aware." I asked why it is that this one is a heap but the HP12c lasts forever. His reply was it is a $30 calculator.I have a TI regular caclulator that was $5 20 years ago that still works. I am moving on to TI. I will never buy an HP anything for the simple fact that they either know of the problem and do not correct it or they are to dumb to notice that there is a problem. Either way I am not dealing with their inferior products again.

What happened to the cover photo?
I have what I think is the remastered version of this cd but not the one with the extra tracks. I'dbe even more reluctant to buy this cd because it doesn't have the great photo of the band in thecemetary. I absolutely love that photo. I think I have a vinyl copy of this album as well. As for theremastered cd, it is just fine with me. I wouldn't mind hearing the extra tracks but I don't really feellike forking out more money just for some bonus tracks. Perhaps the cover photo is the English versionwhich was the first version. Whatever the case, I dig the cemetray photo. The black, blue and pink YESin a dialogue bubble is ok, but I'd rather love at the band and the awesome gravestones in the cemetary.Overall this album is quite good. I listen to it often. It is very pure. Time and a Word is in the same veinbut a lot noisier and more experimental. Both are essential albums for any fan of Yes.

So so movie...HORRIBLE DVD!
Cavalcade is not that great a movie, and the pickings must have been pretty slim the year it won the oscar for Best Picture. But whether you like the film or not? This Chinese import version is HORRIBLE! The picture looks as though someone turned out the lights during filming, and the scenes are so dark, it's nearly impossible to see what's going on at all? The sound quality is even worse than the picture, with at least a two to three second delay between what you see on the screen and what you hear? Meaning that you see the actors saying their lines, but have to wait a few seconds to hear what they actually said. I'm not sure when, or even if the movie will finally be released to DVD by a legitimate, region 1 studio? But do yourself a favor and wait it out. Because having this version is far worse than not having it at all, no matter how badly you'd like to add it to your collection? (2 used & new from 78 bucks? I'll let you have mine for half the price! lol)

No "Whatever"s Made in This Design
You can tell just from looking at the image on Amazon that the clock is funny. What you cannot tell is how good it feels when you take it out of the box the first time and hold it in your hands. This clock was made with intelligent design and is high quality. The wood frame is not shabby, but sheik. The tile face is heavy (but not too heavy) and the lettering is distinct.I bought this clock as a surprise gift for my husband who loved it when he saw it in a magazine. I figured we'd get sick of it quickly and sell it at a garage sale, but every time I see it on the wall I am very pleased with the purchase. It is - of course - better as a source of humor than time, but it fulfills its purpose elegantly: to mock the clock and make us smile! I don't believe we'll be getting rid of it for a while. And in the meantime, perhaps we will learn the nuances of the positions of the arms and better be able to tell what time it is. Or not. ;o) Whatever.

This is about me?
Yeah, I'm a reader. Yeah, I'm the guy that Lerch and her exclamation points are trying to help you get past. So naturally, because I'm insanely egotistical and convinced my position in Hollow-wood is amazingly important, I was fascinated to read all about myself and what I like and what I don't like. Don't get me wrong -- I didn't buy the book. I just borrowed it. What would people think if they saw it in my bookshelf? ("Gawd. Is he trying to write a script? I thought he just read them.") So will this book help you write a script that I'll like? Maybe. More likely is that it'll just annoy you. And keep this in mind: ten thousand readers can like your script, but never once has a reader bought a script. It's the development people, the producers, the c.e.'s who cut the checks. So writing for us is shooting a little low, don't you think?

Don't make the mistake!
I wanted a fine printer to print my photos of a recent trip to England and Wales. I researched many printers & bought the B9180 in July 2008. It printed beautifully. But within 2 months I received the error message to replace a faulty printhead. I did, but the message didn't change. The HP support person was so helpful, and I did receive a replacement printer (2 weeks ago). Tonight I set up the new printer, carefully as usual. Immediately the error message came on to remove caps & install printheads (I already had). Then the error message changed to "replace faulty printhead." I've had it! Next step is to get a refund.Don't let the fine look of this printer sway you. It's not the product I expected.

Disappointing read
This book started out beautifully- a wedding ceremony in desert India amongst 7-year olds. The bride- kidnapped and taken away by bad guys to the big city never to see her child/husband/friend again. And then- bam! We're in San Francisco with a very American main character named Meena who we're supposed to relate to as the child bride. But of course by now, she's educated, wears jeans and jogs, and has a great job in computer software. A Quantum leap into the future. Ms. Kirshner had the right beginning but took the story in the wrong direction. I kept reading the book, mainly because I was very interested in the Indian/Bengali cultural aspects of the story. Also. the "caught between two cultures" idea seemed realistic. The rest of the story ended up being a schmaltzy love story with a predictable ending. Everyone "adjusted" way too easily to the conclusion. Disappointing at best.

Disappointing
This game was on sale for ... when I bought it. Now I see why. The graphics in this game are pretty cool, you can really see what you are creating at many different angles. However, the game becomes very frustrating after a while because nothing happens! I read the manual and in the back it showed us an example airport in Chicago. It told me step by step how to build a simple airport. For one thing, I ran out of money. Also, it never told us how to negotiate contracts or anything! The end result? My airport just sat there with no planes and diving into debt. You need to be a rocket scientist to figure out this game!

All I can say is wow!
I don't know what else to say but how I loved this book. I am 16 and i read this when I was in 4th grade. I was pretty much forced to read it because of the wonderful program:"BookIt". I skimmed through it but i never really grew to love it till two years ago when i started to get intersted in the holocast and other wars before that.. I owned one of the first copies printed, but it was ruined because I took it around where ever I went. I really want to praise the author for his explanation of the war time in Polond. My great grandmother came from Warsaw and this story had enough background information for me to get a great picture of what it looked like back then.

Bad Book
I purchased this book after skimming it over in a local store. I wish I had taken a closer look at it. I just came off a 2 week break from work and school. During my break I decided to work on a new model and following along with Mr. Steed's book. This turned out to be frustration hell. The methods in his book are fine if you are into wasting alot of time. Boolean and splines to make a simple character like the one in his book actually doubles your work. You wind up wasting more time cleaning up the errors from following his tutorial. Why he didn't demonstrate the way MOST people in the industry model, which is box modeling, is beyond me. He basicly tries to reinvent the wheel. I found much better tutorials for FREE on the web. Save yourself from learning bad modeling techniques. I happen to also know that Paul Steed DOES NOT model the way presented in the book. This should raise a red flag or two.

Diffent! But a masterpiece!
Its definitly not what I was expecting, and to be completely honest the first time I listened I wasn't all that impressed! Thats just cause I was expecting to hear another version of Iowa, but it's completely different! The second time I listened to the album it grew on me and so on.. now I love it! It's brilliant. The heavy songs are the trademark Slipknot songs we all know and love, but then there's the slow songs! I know people are going to talk about selling out.. blah blah blah, buts thats crap. They're slow and melodic but they're not love songs! Like it or not Corey Taylor has one brilliant voice so I say why shouldn't he use it! Everything about this album is brilliant, the music is the best we've heard from Slipknot yet! Buy it! NOW!

One size fits for all Did not work !!!!!!!!!!!
After a tiring 3 hours of installation my cover was atleast 1/2" too long at the end. The amazon product page did not said that there is three types of covers. Size 'A' 'B' & 'C'. I received size 'B' which lukily is what I need. I have installed a factory original on my honda Civic before which worked perfect. This one for my hyundai genesis completely now spoils the look. The box says it is good for diameter of 14 1/2" t0 15 1/2". May be this 1" slack is what gets on mine. I ripped it after installation, since it looked so bad at the end with too much slack. what a waster !!!!!!!!!. i will request for a Refund.may be they need change the sizes depending on diameter & o.d.

Very poor DVD player
I bought this DVD player to pair with my Toshiba 42RV530U (Which I love). It is a sleek, sexy looking DVD player. That concludes anything positive in this review. The player frequently pauses during playback, creates distortion or stuttering the picture, and occasionally freezes and will not respond at all! The only option is to reboot the player, which is very frustrating when in the middle of a film. It's caused me much embarrassment when watching movies with friends. I wondered if the problem was with me using older, possibly scratched disks. That ended when I put in a brand new copy of Kill Bill and experienced the same issues. I also wondered if it was a heat issue, and so I put the player by itself with longer cables to give it plenty of room to breath. The player still crashed during playback. Frankly, this is the worst piece of consumer electronics I've ever had the misfortune to purchase. If it wasn't too late, I would return it.Stay away from this DVD player!

I wanted to throw it out the window!!
We registered for this monitor because of the 2 receivers. Unfortunately, we had the receivers turned off more than on. The static was unbearable! No matter where the monitor and receivers were positioned in the house, there was constant static. And when the phone rang, forget it. We stopped using our cordless phone thinking that would help....not a chance. After about two weeks we went back to the store and bought a cheaper model. And guess what, it works wonderfully. We can use our cordless phone and not a peep of static. We don't hear telephone conversations either...just our little angel. This monitor system is way too expensive for the amount of aggravation that goes along with it.
