Not a good movie

This movie was a huge let down, if it were not for the famous actors, this movie would not have been worth watching.

This book still can not answer many questions
|
After reading the first book, The Boy Called 'It', I have many questions, such as why the mother changed so much, why the mother singled the author out, etc.. I thought these questions would be answered in the second book, as what the first book suggested. However, other than hard selling his unfortunate past, and kept repeating emphasizing how bad the Mother was, the author failed to use a high level, objective view to tell the story.I felt there're something hiding behind story while reading between the lines of the book.

You owe me 2500 pushups and 1000 Suicides!
|
These are the movies where you know you will get the real deal. No Hollywood ending and no false impressions. Real life story of a Man... a Coach... a SIR! that takes it upon himself to help turnaround a team of young kids and turns then into MEN. A must see FAMILY movie to help people realize a lil something extra about sports these days. Show it to your kids.. your team.. your students. You will come out wanting to improve your own life. Basketball changes lives... may not be so obvious.. but after watching this movie you will see why.COACH CARTER!

Effected me more than any other score!
|
What an incredible score! The different feelings that it evokes thoughout the movie are dynamic! Even my two boys (10 and 13) have latched onto this soundtrack like no other. (Especially "The Battle") I think Harry Gregson Williams does wonderful things in unconventional ways. I enjoyed The Lord of the Rings soundtrack but it didn't jump out at me or inspire me like Narnia's. When I first saw The Chronicles of Narnia movie and heard the music I was SO moved and overwhelmed. Being a pianist and having a background in music, I have always wanted to compose music like that but have never done it. This soundtrack has given me the inspiration to get Cubase, a keyboard controller and some VST instruments and start making music! Thank you so much Harry Gregson Williams!

Great hands free device
|
Bought the Pioneer PH4400 for our RV (needed the display for the Backup Camera) and wound up with a huge leap in technology. Just needed to add the steering wheel remote to complete the package. The remote works fine (I read some of the reviews that indicated the remote needed the "IR Port" to be modified) - though it feels a bit loose on the supplied steering wheel mount. Not horrible, just not rock solid. I've had no issues with the IR signal - probably due to the orientation of the steering wheel to the stereo head unit on the RV.Worth the money in my opinion.

broken bottles, drenched cartons
|
Bought and received two boxes of 22 year panax ginseng extract bottles x 30. Five of those bottles were broken, which would not have been so bad if the contents of those bottles did not then spread all over the box making the entire shipment sticky, and nasty. Had to take them all out, wash them and then could not use the container they came in for storage. So even though I was technically out five bottles out of 60, the ensuing mess makes it very difficult to use what was left.

Disney Women's Eeyore Leather Strap Watch #MC2128
|
I loved this watch when I first got it. Exactly what I ordered. However, after wearing several times, the watch face came off. It is apparently glued on, or uses double-sided tape and if worn vey much the glue/tape doesn't hold. I don't recommend buying this watch for wearing, maybe for collectors only.

Best Ever
|
Sing the Sorrow has everything an AFI fan could want. From searing guitar riffs and pounding drums to Havok's tortured vocals carrying AFI's most profound lyrics ever, such as Death of Season's "writing with sickness, thrown into banality, I decay" and Bleed Black's "I'm hovering throughout time. I crumble in these days". Sing the Sorrow is AFI's most provocative release. Punk fans will not be disappointed.

we don't need any more how not to do it books

Just tried to read this book about a bunch of losers trying to find the last remaining grizz in the CO San Juans. GAG!I've lost ALL my patience with 40ish adults that think they are on an epic with bottled water, a farting dog and Vienna sausage. I didn't make it past page 45. I'm 50 years old, I've hiked thousands of miles and been around enough hardcore PCT folks to recognize the real deal. These guys are total amateurs and a total bore.Why right a book about what not to do. There are a lot of those out there ... "I'm a grade A city dirtbag trail loser... Read my trail loser memoir".Kids in their 20s doing the same stuff get a free pass and bonus points from me for just being out there. I did this stuff when I was in my 20's. Well not quire that bad...I was better than that by age 14. But not adults in their +40s trying to write a book.Read something by Craig Childs if you want to see a pro in action.

Super Fun for My Super Heroes!
|
You cannot even imagine the excitement around our house when the trailer for The League of Incredible Vegetables came on before another Veggie Tales movie.And then I showed it to the boys :)The DVD arrived in our mailbox the other day and it did not disappoint! My super heroes needed to get into character right away!The message of The League of Incredible Vegetables is one of overcoming fear - a message my boys picked up on very clearly in the first watching.In fact, my 6yo told me his favorite part was when Junior realized he no longer had anything to fear because he trusted in God! And then my heart melted...Obviously, my 4yo liked "the part where the little guy bounces all over the place!" {said with wild, crazy hand movements to illustrate}And my favorite part? The AWESOME theme song from the Newsboys!I LOVE having a super hero movie for the boys that focuses on the true source of all our strength and power! Thank you, Big Idea!

It's being dumbed down
|
This was a great game. I spent a lot of time playing it and did quests, visited Star Wars locals and saw Star Wars characters. I liked this game I really did, now they are going to dumb it all down in the name of "playability". No more class trainers and leveling up just got insanely easy. It looks like 90% of the game will be Jedi in about 6 months of this update. It's going to be boring and the game will lose much of what made it Star Wars.

Not That Good
|
I have been purchasing NBA Live since the Sega Genesis days. I waited anxiously for the release of 2000 expecting a stellar game due to new competition form the Dreamcast, I was very dissapointed. The game is better in part due to the old classic teams and the MJ one on one but the graphics I belive actually got worse if you can believe it. I think they spent too much time focusing on the teams and MJ and the graphics suffered. NBA 2K on Dreamcast is ten times better, they really took the time to make that game realistic, EA slipped on 2000.

High Quality Bag
|
I was looking for a small bag that I could use on day trips or hikes. I did not want a huge bag to keep all my lenses and accessories. This is perfect for my needs. I have a Konica Minolta 5D with a 28-75 f2.8 lens attached, along with a 18-70 and a 70-210. I can fit the camera, lenses, my battery charger, and various cables. The lenses fit with their hoods on backwards. There are a couple of small pouches to keep extra battery and cards. Two features I really like: 1) the micro fiber cloth that lies across the camera's lcd to protect it from scratches and 2) the top of the bag opens from the back for quick access to the camera.Small enough to carry all day, big enough to fit the essentials needed for a great day of shooting.

Works great but breaks easily
|
I purchased two pair of these shoe trees about a month ago. On the plus side, they are made from a pleasant looking and smelling cedar that will absorb moisture and odor. They are also easy to put in shoes and adjust to the general shape of the shoes. The one down side I've found thus far is that one of my shoe trees split completely on the handle, rendering the tree useless. This happened after less than a month of use. It may be a better idea to look at a higher quality product. Spending less for a product that breaks quickly is not money well spent. On the plus side, one pair of my trees is still usable.

Please, someone, write another Oracle book
|
This book was required for a class I am taking, and I can't think of another reason to buy it. If you have a strong background in similar forms development platforms, you may be able to get enough out of this book to work with Oracle. But if you are completely new, this is not the book for you. The author brings in way, way too much extraneous detail, and the examples are complex and unrealistic. Some exercises require you to use tools & concepts not introduced until later chapters.

Good book, but felt like I had read just an overview.
|
Having read this book and enjoyed I feel I should pass on my thoughts. Firstly, and most importantly, this book appeared to me to be more of an overview of what took place hence it being only around 100 pages (minus many photos and maps ect...). If you are looking for a book that will give you an idea of what happened without the intricacies of the lead up and subsequent end to the wars then this will work for you. If you expect to read extracts from those who were there and a detailed account of the Zulu Wars then you will be disappointed. It mostly talks about Rorkes Drift, which is great and what many would like to read, but I felt like I had just read an introduction to the Zulu War campaign. This is probably a book that can whet your appetite for campaign before you find something with much more detail. As I said this still a good read!

Don't be fooled by Amazon reviews!
|
I was, and I absolutely hated "Girl." I am a teenage girl and I consider myself fairly intelligent. When I saw the Amazon reviews and the description of "Girl" by Blake Nelson I was stoked to read the "Catcher in the Rye for the 'Grunge' generation." But it only disappointed me. I thought the writing style was amazingly simple (how did Nelson get it published?), and the main character not a realistic teenage girl, more what a teenage boy would HOPE a teenage girl would be like. Anyone could know from listening to "Loveline" for an evening that for women (unlike for men), sex is more than merely physical...an emotional connection has to be there for a sexual experience to be enjoyable. Andrea Marr's reaction to sex is really a male's opinion (hope?) that women yearn for sex like men do, which I haven't found true. I find it disgusting that people actually think teenage girls are this shallow and this unintelligent, and I just want to let you know that we aren't.

The title is very misleading. Less than one-third of the book is devoted to DDS. Certainly he complicates the presentation of DDS and provides no practical examples of design. The author can improve the material where the book can be of use.

The Only One!
|
I am recently studying the textbook written by Hans Ohanian, 2nd edition. This book is very well written and suitable for beginning physics majors. The great benefit is that there IS a COMPLETE answer book accompanied with the text which just costs less than $10. This is the only one that has complete answers/solutions manual available for students. For Serway's, Tipler's, Halliday-Resnick-Walker's, Giancoli's, Young&Freeman's, Lee&Burke's, Wolfson's, and Hecht's, none has a solution manual that contains even half of the problems in their books. I highly recommend this book to those whose truly love physics problem-solvings and those who want to master the most fundamental yet a little challenging classical physics.Sometimes you can't find your professor when you have problems and are eager to know the answers after long-period of trying without success. Then this is the only one for you.

This book has some interesting and intriguing ideas for owners of any telescope, not just ones that are 5 inches or less, as suggested by the book. I own an 8 inch Celestron Nexstar 8se, and I found the techniques for observation as suggested in the book to be very useful.

If only it weren't true that I read this!
|
Part one of the book was interesting but went way down hill after that. I found the personality of Lauren to be very annoying! The dialogue between the characters sounded as if they were reading off of cue cards and their reactions to their situation were so unrealistic, even for a "fantasy" type of story. I ended up skipping from chapter eight to the last page just to see how it ended. I was so disappointed that I found it hard to believe anyone enjoyed this book!

For beginners with spare time
|
The writers have spent hours and months writting this book and it is hard not to admire their determination, but the result is unbalanced. The book does bring some hard facts and useful behaviours but enough to make a brochure not a full book. The first half of the book talks generalities and concepts about the web, about marketing and search engine behaviour but every time it is becoming really interesting the writers say "we'll see that point in chapter XX". It is a good trick to keep readers of thrillers on the edge, but I found it annoying and time wasting. Eventually the book gets into stats and practical actions but it feels too little too late. Most of the "do to" lists at the end of each chapter are more summaries than action points. If you are starting from scratch and have time, this book will teach you usefull things and fill your time.

Excellent fictional look at the SCA, with a mystery added
|
Mary Monica Pulver's a longtime member of the SCA, and is well-qualified to write a mystery set in and among the Society's members at our largest gathering, the Pennsic War (upwards of 10,000 people onsite). Unlike _Bimbos of the Death Sun_ et seq., there's no attitude of "oh, look at the freaky weirdos who should get a life," instead, we get a sympathetic look at the SCA's subculture and how it meshes and clashes with the surrounding "mundane" world. The various groups within the SCA are presented fairly faithfully, although things now are not quite as they were when she wrote this book. The mystery element is honestly puzzling, and hinges on a bit of SCA lore that's in front of the reader's face from the beginning. A good first mystery novel, with an unusual setting.

Riddled with errors
|
The commentary does not mesh with the videos or photos. Repeatedly they will be talking about one type of equipment or a person, but the film or picture will be something else entirely. For example, while talking about large shipments of Sherman tanks arriving, they show film of M3 Stuart Light Tanks, when talking about Hurricane IIB ground attack fighters, they are showing P 40s and Spitfires, when talking about several squadrons of B25 Mitchells arriving, they show B-17s, when talking about the use by the Germans of captured Russian 76.2 MM field guns, they have film of German 150mm and 210 mm artillery, when talking about General Alexander arriving to take over, the first picture is of General Horrocks, when talking about the US M2 105 Howitzer being delivered, the film is of early war US 150 mm Howitzers. And so on ad nauseum all through the whole thing, pathetic.

Good introduction to understanding eating disorders
|
This book serves as a good introduction to making to reader understand the basic mechanisms of common eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating, although not much detail is given for each disorder. It focuses on how an emotional eater should identify her/his emotions before deciding to eat, and how to deal with the emotions. Although this book alone would probably not be of great help for people who are seriously stricken with eating disorders, it gives the reader an incentive to seek further help and to avoid self-blame and self-abuse.

Great for the price
|
After spending a couple of weeks in Hawaii my kids (ok, and me too) became addicted to shave ice. Upon returning home we ordered this item primarily because of the price and decent reviews. I can tell you we are not disappointed. It actually creates pretty good "snow" similar to what you find from a more expensive machine. It does not chop the ice like a snow cone machine does, which is a huge plus. It works well with blocks from the included molds, but I downgraded it one star for it's very slooooow performance using standard ice cubes. If you want something that makes good shave ice without investing $100 or more for a machine, it's hard to go wrong with this.

My first black and color cartridge was fine and worked okay (did run out of ink slightly faster than I anticipated). When I opened the next black cartridge package ink poured out of package and all over my shirt and jeans. The same happened with the next color cartridge. I have seen better deals, but I figured you get what you pay for. Not in this case. It cost me the price of this product and two pairs of jeans and two shirts. Not really worth it.

Drawn cause of one song
|
The first time I ever heard a SW song was on the radio and the song was So Far Away. I really liked the song so much that I bought the album. The album isn't all that good. I also heard their other albums which don't even sound anything like this one. They all have a industrial rock style as opposed to an alternative style which they present in this album. The singer even sounds different in other albums such as their debut album UNGOD in which the singer has a very industrial hard rock voice. I enjoyed their debut album UNGOD much more then this one. So by all means buy their first album if you want to hear SW in all their industrial goth rock glory, the only reason I recommend this album at all is because of the first track So Far Away it was the first song I heard and after hearing every single Stabbing Westward song and I mean every single Stabbing Westward song So Far Away is my favorite. So either buy the single or download it.

Required reading for anyone who thinks they practice yoga
|
This book will wake you up to what yoga really is--a set of hardcore spiritual disciplines that lead to full liberation from suffering...if you practice long and hard and smart enough!This book represents the best of academic writing. Written as a collection of very readable 2-5 page essays, it is as inspiring as it is informative. Georg never compromises his position that yoga requires intense practice and study to reach the final goal, nor does he lose sight of the integral nature of yoga sadhana (no 30 days to loose hamstrings here!).Read this in a week and you'll know more about yoga than most so-called yoga teachers...and you'll be inspired to practice more seriously than ever, whether your practice of yoga involves the postures or not!

This is right up there with one of the worse movies i've ever seen. So many things made no sense at all.

I guess humans must be pretty advanced to be able to have all these man made body parts including optic eyes and still be able to survive.. I highly suggest renting this before you buy it, if you feel you must have it, because It is not worth the money. The acting is also pretty bad.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...
|
... or, as the Germans say, "Es weihnachtet sehr." Praetorius was quite the serious religious musician and some of his works are heavy going. The selections here are of the sing-along variety, and I have been known to do so in the car when the mood struck me. It helps to know the German lyrics, too, and I've heard these selections so often, I've memorized them! I don't know, however, why the dances from "Terpsichore" are included on this CD. "Terpsichore" has nothing to do with Christmas, especially not the earnest type of Christmas the Germans of that time celebrated. What the heck, the "Terpsichore" melodies have a good beat, and you can dance to them. All in all, a nice CD, and I have several copies.

A lot to learn

A lot to learnThe Alphabet Verses the GhettoBy Jessica Care MooreI really did not care for the book. Jessica Moore intensifies the argument of what is Black. People argue about rather or not Jesus is Black, well, Jessica suggests that the alphabet is black. Jessica takes language and glorifies each letter of the alphabet. However, there are some moments in the book where I was lost and I had to re-read over and over again to try and understand. She makes learning seem culturally fun and enriching. Jessica is clearly no amateur to the poetry world. She has taking her place on the throne of language arts. The Alphabet Verses the Ghetto compliments the best of both the alphabet and the ghetto, it just takes a long time to get there. I would not recommend the reading to anyone.

I gave it a Fierce try

I picked up a few of Tom's books recently. It was just the urge to read an author whose work I'd been familiar with only by name. I had been warned about Tom's liberal use of simile and metaphor as I tore into Still Life. That was an amusing read on the beach. But it all got to be too much to handle in Fierce Invalids. The clever and amusing passages were fewer, and certainly farther between. We made it to about page 220, and were somewhere in Iraq I think, or wherever our jaunt led us from Turkey. "The desert spread out before him like a giant pizza." Or something like that. Oh brother. "Siwtters sweltered, but did not sweat." I gave up.

It Fried My Hair!
|
I wanted to give this product zero starts (but wasn't allowed so please ignore the one star) and think women should be warned from using this flat iron...on wet hair. I followed the instructions carefully and was left with hair that was frizzy, resembles straw and with about a zillion split ends. I normally use an ion dryer and an expensive ceramic iron to straighten my wavy/curly medium-thick hair. So I welcomed the opportunity to eliminate the step of blow drying. Besides getting a mini steam facial while straightening my hair there was no other upside.I used this once and will need to get my hair cut now! I am so angry that I felt I should warn people. Mine is going in the garbage!Don't use this product if you want shiny straight hair. If you LIKE looking like a frizzed mess, then this is the product for you. Buyer beware!

Good luck

This is my third router and I'm getting ready to go purchase #4, but it won't be a skill. This router seemed to be a good deal until I started trying to cut dovetails with it and I found that the depth of the cut would change without warning, not minute changes, but big changes of about an 1/8th of an inch; wow! For some reason the clamp on the base is not secure, I don't know if it's vibration or what, but a change in depth will significatly change the value of a dovetail. This afternoon this one will be listed on Craigslist.

Though this is an accurate fit, it tends to allow slippage under the cups after wearing awhile.

Air Leak
|
Bought two. One works as intended, the other, no matter how much I tighten the pump/cap it still leaks air. Not sure what's going on. Would rate 2 1/2 stars if this option were available, since one works fine but the other doesn't.

Be careful of this book.

FIVE CHINESE BROTHERS follows many stereotypes of Chinese. From Chinese people looking alike (if you flip through the pages you'll see that not only do the brothers look exactly alike, but so do the rest of the Chinese people!), to Chinese people being peculiar (the special powers that the Chinese brothers have make them look silly and rediculous), and how Heathen Chinese civilization is (you see the many torturous punishment the brothers go through).... Furthermore, folktales of China don't come close to the stories in this book. Bishop made up this story without any authentic text of China. If you want your child to read this book, he/she may end up stereotyping Chinese people. Please, don't let your child grow up like that.

So disappointing
|
I read EJD's Cheaters because of a friend's recommendation and thought the book was okay, but not a classic. I expected that a few books later he would've improved but he hasn't. The first few pages were all right. I liked the reference to Lolita, where both main characters made up thier own realities to suit thier own purposes, but that's just about all I liked. I could't stand Nicole's selfish and immature ways. I don't understand why such a woman as her would bewitch both lovers. I admit, i hate weak characters with a passion and there was enough weak characters in this book to make me ill. Hopefully, the next book will be much better.

Early 70s pop that has aged remarkably well
|
I recently picked this up on a whim. I'm 49 years old and had never purchased a Carpenters record. I saw it at a used record store and thought, "Isn't it about time?" Now, I've always had mixed feelings about the Carpenters, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it all the way through this. Well, not only did I listen to it straight through, I left it in the CD player for several days and several more listens. Yes, the songs tend to be saccharine, and the production is technically flawless to the point of sterility, but it's never corny. It is what it is, and it's totally sincere. The instrumental performances, largely multi-tracked by Karen and Richard, are breathtaking, and Karen was simply one of the greatest singers of all time. Isn't it about time you gave the Carpenters another listen?

School Review
|
I have shown this 2000 Royal Ballet Version to my elementary students. Normally it is hard for students to sit still for more than a few minutes during the holiday season, but they were totally enchanted with the costumes, the story, and the dancing. In fact, even though some of my students have been in local productions of the Nutcracker, they say this film is one of the best productions they have ever seen. I have seen other Royal Ballet versions, and the Baryshnikov version--this one has more passion and more style. In fact, only a few of my students knew about the Mama Gigione version they had seen in local ballet productions. I highly recommend this to all serious Nutcracker aficionados.

So much nicer in person
|
I thought it looked cool and I'm a fan of automatics and mechanicals so this one was of interest. Plus, the dial is different without being a negative different, if you know what I mean. Its very stylish and gets a lot of positive compliments. A lot of watches say that they look a lot like a watch that costs thousands more but that isn't really true. It is true about this Eclipse II though. I'm very pleased with it and it is a big time keeper for me. I'm not even a Stuhrling fan but I do love this line and I'm looking to get another one.

Great Book -- Horrible Nova Show

I recently read The Elegant Universe and while it was extremely dense it is well written and definitely worth reading if you are interested in string theory. I HIGHLY suggest that anyone really interested in sting theory skip the Nova show and read the book.

Minus One Star
|
I am appalled. How did this sell so unbelievably well? Ah yes. It's because they abandoned anything resembling a heavy metal 'edge', and embraced generic 4/4 rhythms, combined with putrid mainstream-yearning lyrics, spewed upon by a wah-wah pedal that the 'lead guitarist' doesn't know how to turn off, set against a steady rhythm that...hello....what's this? Ah! The drummer is hitting cymbals on irregular beats! How crazy! He must be the best drummer in the world!!!Oh yeah, and the bass sucks. It's...Yeah. Basically, pick up a bass, grab a pick, and pluck the top (4th) string open, as follows:--0---And that, my friend, is the TAB for this entire album.Yucky. Best listened to whilst attempting to swat flies, for it encapsulates the essence of the inability to feel comforted at the fact that all things annoying are resting and out of your way.

Boring, Boring, Boring
|
This was my first Bertrice Small book and I have to say I was not impressed. I did not care for the character at all. She was spoiled, and self rightous to everyone, including her family. I also thought the book was extremely boring. There was to much descrpition on small mundane things and not enough plot and action. It took me forever to get through this book and I am a very fast reader. This book made me not want to read any of her other books because I am afraid that they will be just as bad. I hope this was a one time oops for Ms. Small because this book was not good at all.

author is stuck in the VH1 80s.
|
This was hyped as a return to form for McInerney, so having loved Bright Lights, I gave it a try. But he's way out of his league addressing serious themes. And the never-ending references to high-end consumer products made me want to scream. This isn't the 80s and that short of shorthand (or crutch) lost its lustre a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away. It's time to accept that Bright Lights was the one good book McInerney had in him. Like Brett, Tama and the Flock of Seagulls, Jay belongs to another era.

IS-20 , bad pictures

I've been using this camera for about 4 mos. already upgrading from a point/shoot olympus clamshell camera and was very much dissappointed with the quality of the pictures,. It definitely looks cool but the output was terrible, overexposure, dark backgrounds. I tried auto mode and manual mode. Can't say more but I am definitely not recommending this camera.

Usually weary of mainstream "Oprah" books, I read this book on a whim after a rave review from a friend. I loved it! The title struck me and I started reading. 24 hours later I was finished and totally satisfied. My favorite part of the book was the last line..so inspiring!! Enjoy !

Soothing Guitar
|
My first introduction to Lawrence Barris came after hearing "Loveland" from this cd a few years back. I own both of Lawrence's cds and I think this one is far better than his Love on Me cd. All the songs feature that soft and soothing guitar accented by keyboards and percussion. My favorite is still "Loveland", but other good songs include "Our Midnight Dance", "Sometime, Somewhere" and "Afternoon Samba". This cd is definitely worth checking out.

Best wallet I've ever had
|
This wallet is the best one I have ever had. It is big enough to hold everything and the materials seem very sturdy. It has more zipper pockets than other wallets I've had. I bought the red color so I can see the wallet in my black purse. The red color is very attractive. I would definitely recommend this wallet to anyone.

Close, but no cigar...

Microsoft went on on the limb for this one. Try to fit a mouse and a keyboard on a controller.... This idea was genius, but unfortunately missed the mark. The only complaint that I had with this controller was the fact that they should of added a spring mechanism to "re-align" the controller back to the center position. When you are in the heat of the battle of Unreal Tournament or Half-Life, your hand will be in this wierd prostrated position (which is very uncomfortable) until you reset your view to center.. Other than this minor problem, this controller gives you the closest I have seen to the mouse-and-keyboard combination. Keep working Microsoft!!

Very hard to install
|
I just finished trying to install the cat door and the instructions are very inadequate. There is no words, just pictures that are confusing to interpret. I thought the flap would take about 30 minutes to install - it took 90 minutes and because the instructions were bad it wasn't even installed the correct way. Save your money and look for something else.

I bought this about a year ago, it worked well though I sparingly used it. I created a SVCD with my PC and tried playing it with this player, it got stuck and never ejected out. It does not respond to any command now. I do NOT recommend this product, the design and testing of this product is shoddy.

Does not work and light is useless
|
The light that comes with UrineGone is useless however I have my own blacklight. The product does not work on fresh or old pet stains. I have a 14yr old dog that is incontinent and is now in diapers. I had lots of spots to test. I have tried over 8 different products and none of them would remove the stains under blacklight from carpet. The walls wipe down fine. I tried Urineout, Resolve, Nature's Miracle, OxyClean and a few others I can't think of. I am amazed that Urine Gone gives you a blacklight that shows the product does not work, if your light happens too. If you have pets invest in a decent blacklight if you want to make sure things are clean.

Didn't like it
|
I ordered this thinking it was music from Nickelback and to my dismay found it was only history of the band. No where in the description of the cd did it say it was only words and no music until I received the cd and it read so on the back. I sent it back for a credit. Did not want to add this to my "music" collection. If I want to know a biography about a band I will read a book or magazine.

The last of the extraordinary Sinister works
|
I am very partial to this EP, sure it's short, but Mike's vocals were at peak of brilliance displayed here. I was really anticipating their following album at the time, but sadly Mike had left the band due to personal reasons, a shame because this band was at its pinnacle. "Pre-Aggressive Measures Sinister" have always been what I consider to be perfect death metal. This band was what Death Metal was born to be. Haunting, mysterious, heavy, the vocals were the epitomy of what Death Metal vocals are supposed to be. Better than any other band in the genre in my opinion. These words were not "barked" out or just merely growled out, they were constructive and added a powerful element to the music. I love the drumming, just crushing. If you are new to Sinister, only listen to Sinister's first three LPs and this EP! Buy or Die!

Barely a mention of Filipino guerilla fighters
|
The story is told as a celebration of the courage and skill of the American soldiers who freed hundreds of brutalized American POWs. The footage is dramatic, the heroes and their reminiscences profoundly moving.But it was the courageous Filipino guerillas -- whose stealthy reconnaissance, knowledge of the land and of the brutality of the Japanese -- who made the American rescue not only possible, but massively successful. These young men, thousands of whom died in defense of Americans here and elsewhere during the war, should be honored with so much more than the minuscule mention they receive in this film.
