insane absurd and sad at the same time
|
i have now read pulp twice. the first time i didn't care for it too much. It was cheesy, proposed that celine was alive with any supernatural explanation, had space aliens and the lady death. I dumbed down my brain so hard that I didn't see the point. but the second time through, i really enjoyed it. it's a nice quick read that you don't have to concentrate to hard to get.

Buy this now!
|
I loved this as a kid and still do. This brings back so many great memories. I was wondering how this would hold up and it still rules. This must have been digitaly remastered because it looks so colorful and vibrant. Buy this if you are a science fiction fan.

Nice look but does not give a close shave
|
I have been using this shaver for a year, and I decided to write a review because I am very disappointed in the performance, it does not give a close shave. I even changed the foil and cutter in the time frame specified but the shave is mediocre.This was my Grundig replacement which I thought was going to be better because all the new features and technologies it had, and also mainly because it self-cleaned, but after a year of use, I really can say that the best feature it has is the self-cleaning base that is why I gave it a 2 star rating, but without the self-cleaning base I would rate it 1-star.I am going back to the Grundig brand

OK... I cant stand the design. They are almost identical swords. Any halfminded person who has read the books knows that they are two completely different swords. Yes, two scimitars... Lets just say they happened to have similar blades (no way they would be identical blades like these), the odds of them having nearly the identical handle/hilts is ridiculous. I blame the artists who illustrate the book covers and comic versions. Drizzt's Drow swords were more than likely identical, but Icing Death and Twinkle being this identical is absurd. I also would expect them to have alittle more curve, not much more and the back side to have the crest point or whatever.

Killed my ibook
|
This OEM charger killed my ibook after using it for 4 months. My computer kept shutting off without warning then after that happened numerous times, it would power on, but not stay on. It shut down immediately after powering on. After realizing that it wasn't going to turn on and stay on, I took it to the Genius bar and the tech told me the logic board was causing the problem, probably because the ibook was not getting ample power from the power cord. What I learned here is to buy a power charger that's made for the computer. I managed to pull the HD from my ibook and was able to retrieve my files and data and transfer it to my new Macbook. I'll never again buy a cheap power charger for my Mac.

I was pretty darn impressed with this cd. Usually, i listen to plain old rock and roll, but i was persuaded to purchase this cuz of good ol' P.O.D. Their song, along with the Godsmack and LL Cool J tracks are what make this an excellent buy for almost any fan of music.

Whitesnake - 'Greatest Hits' (Geffen)
|
It's been said that Whitesnake is much classier than most 'other' hair bands that emerged in the '80's.Isn't that just ANOTHER way of saying they're more mainstream?I've always been a fair weather Whitesnake fan.I mean,ever since they released 'Slide It In'(their best ever lp),they've proved to be the most mainstream,commercial and straight ahead band in rock&roll.Keep in mind that if vocalist David Coverdale didn't look as good as he did,Whitesnake wouldn't have made it AS big as they did.I think a lot of people will agree with me on that.Don't get me wrong,their music is good,not great but good.As for the good songs,they're all here,like "Still Of The Night",the rather bluesy "Love Ain't No Stranger",the unreleased "Lookin' For Love","Slide It In"(my personal Whitesnake favorite),"The Deeper The Love","Slow And Easy","Judgement Day" and "Fool For Your Loving".Finally got to see them headline awhile back and in concert,they still kick some serious ass.

Unwatchable
|
This is a great concert, but as others have said, the frenetic camera work and syncing problems make it virtually unwatchable. It makes me almost nauseous to watch something where the camera jumps around so often, and there's really no point bearing the irritation if, when you actually get to see someone play something, it's not even in sync with the audio.Considering you can get this whole set on the excellent "Exposures: In Retrospect and Denial" compilation, there's really no reason to have the DVD version unless you're a hardcore fan and love having concert DVDs.

So Useful and Informative!
|
As a former teacher I was always amazed with the struggle children had in acknowledging and understanding their emotions. It seemed such a hard thing for children to do and you could always see the correlation between lack of emotional awareness and self esteem issues. As a result of this, I wanted to be the type of parent that would not only communicate early with my children, but give my children a strong ability to handle various emotional situations in a positive way. I strongly feel this will help children grow into confident, happy adults. This book is such a great resource for being able to do this! The tips and information are so useful.

Loud buzz
|
I am unhappy with this product and would definitely return it had I not purchased it long time before I actually started using it. First of all, it produces loud buzz all the time, no matter what the level of the water, the position of the blade, no matter what.Most importantly though, my cat decided she did not like it and never used it once, even though she happily drank from the old Petmate fountain that I had before. I will buy Petmate again.

Who Is She Kidding?
|
As the mother of a "special" child living in a small town in Virginia, I thought this might be a good fit. I believed that there might be some insight into what my son and other children plagued by compulsions and tics experience and how they and other come to terms with that experience. But that is not it at all. This novel turns the very serious and complex job of supressing one's instincts into pablum. Bad people are just stupid and closed-minded. Salvation comes from simply loving oneself. Oh, Icy, if it were only that easy.Save yourself the trouble. If you are really interesting in the subject, meet someone with Tourette's, talk to them about the difficulty of loving it. Heck, if you're really interested, why don't you go to a tent revival and see if Jesus tells people to just accept themselves. I don't know about that but I do think that this novel was silly and maudlin and mystical when it could have been insightful.

Daigrepont's best album.
|
I'm a big fan of Daigrepont, but not always a fan of his albums, which are pretty uneven. When I want to hear him play this is what I put on.A lot of Cajun music is wedded to tradition, but Daigrepont feels free to experiment. "Bebe de la Famille," for example, has a Caribbean touch. "Bonjour, Dimanche," about a farmowner who's been up all night throwing a party and is listening to the countryside wake up at dawn, is the trickiest song here, simultaneously evoking the narrator's bleary state and the farmyard's early-morning bustle. Daigrepont is expanding the tradition, though, not leaving it behind. There's still bouncy party music like "Tipitina Two-Step," a slow one about his uncle's store where you could speak Cajun French and gamble, and covers of songs by Canray Fontenot and Wade Fruge.All of Daigrepont's albums have good songs, but this one's something special. The worst you can say about anything here is that it's merely good.

Nice photos, but not great soap
|
The photos are wonderful. The recipes are only varied according to the eo's that are used. The amounts of eo's would not apply for pure eo's. Soapmakers beware! Start with a small amount of eo, find out how it effects your skin and those using your soap, you can always adjust.non tallow soap is too soft to make for everyday use. I use my soap for everything, including the laundry. I would not be able to do this with a vegetable soap. Tallow also cuts the cost, and last a lot longer.

First rate Darwinian overview of sex -- fun, too
|
While hundreds of other books have since been publishedexplaining sex from an evolutionary perspective, this one remains afine effort for a general audience. For a scientist, Wilson's has a bit of a dirty mind, which adds to the fun. What is the Coolidge Effect? Yes, it's named after President Coolidge. He and his wife were visiting an experimental farm and his wife was shown the rooster. "How many times does he perform his roosterly duty each day?" Mrs. C. asked. "Dozens," she was told. "Tell that to the President when he comes to this part of the tour," she said. The President later visited came to the rooster's roost, and was duly informed. "With the same hen each time?" he asked. "No, with a different hen each time." He paused, then said, "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge." Steve Sailer

Stellar Performance
|
I've never really been a Spingsteen fan but after watching this DVD I am converted. So is my Wife & Son. The sheer energy that is generated is enough to give the viewer a full 'workout', no need for a gym when you watch this DVD. In parts it is very serious, in others, a party atmosphere ensues, but whatever the mood, it is guaranteed of being top-notch entertainment from begining to end. The picture is in 16:9 format and is extremely sharp. The sound is in DD 5.1 and is also pretty good. If you love good music then there is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the best music DVD's around.

Bought 5, 3 died within a month
|
I purchased 5 of these hoping they'd work as a cheap alternative to the more expensive solar chargers/maintainers. That was partly true; two of the five did but the other three all died within a month. Unfortunately this company(based in Canada) doesn't offer any support or warranty, contrary to what they advertise. Very poor quality and no support.

Many swim and life lessons but caution on the rating
|
PRIDE realistically captures some of what it takes to build a swim team in a tough neighborhood. It also shows realistically the interaction between older teens and racial tensions of the times (1970s).I wanted to show this film to our swim team but changed my mind because I felt the language and themes were not really PG rating material and not appropriate for children under 10-11-12 depending on their maturity.

Good idea - poor design
|
While the iGo Juice is a great idea and potentially useful for travellers, after 4 uses the end that connects to the PC adapter snapped right off. The design of the tip is far too flimsy especially for travel. (Two of the four uses were at home, two on the road)Calling technical support didn't help either - no return call after two attempts.Good idea - poor design, not great customer service. If Mobility improve their design, I'd certainly consider trying again. But until then - back to one plug per gadget!

My first B9180 lasted about two weeks before sending a message saying "Service Stall". It never recovered and was replaced under warranty. My second B9180 lasted almost a month before sending the same message. It too was replaced under warranty. My 3rd B9180 lasted one year and 5 days. It then began spitting yellow ink all over photos and the inside of the printer. It was out of warranty and will cost me about $300 for an exchange through HP.When the printer actually works, it does a great job on prints ranging in size from 4 x 6 to 13 x 19. But I've got to think that my run of bad luck with these printers is more than just coincidence. I'd look elsewhere for a photo printer.

Good Quick Book full of examples
|
Pros:1. The book really gets you to the code quickly which is what I like.2. The book features code in both VB.NET and C#(Francis B Gallagher from catonsville review incorrectly mentions that it does not contain code from both the lang. The author mentions on pg 42 that due to space constraints he will list only one lang or the other. The "other" code is available on the website.)Cons:I did not give it 5 stars because it assumes that you have already worked on ASP before and keeps making annoying comparisons throughout the text.

0 STARS: Los Feces

Jon Bon Jovi should definitely stick to singing because he's a horrible actor, but that does not even begin to describe how terrible "Vampires- Los Muertos" is...as horrible of an actor as Jon Bon Jovi may be, "Vampires-Los Muertos" is an even worse movie. Vampires, that's a laugh...this movie has a terrible plot and the acting is even worse. The original "Vampires" sucked too, but this one is even worse folks! Definitely one of the worst so called "horror" movies of all-time and that my friends is saying something!! Can you believe some people call this a horror movie...well, you can imagine what I call it...yes sir, I just call it rubbish and that's being very kind.

Fantastic!
|
I bought this game eight years ago, and I still have lots of fun with this game. It's so satisfying to set up a park, manage it, and then see your cash shoot up. I should warn you that I had to make some changes to the some advanced settings for it to work fine on my laptop (mainly because it was made forever ago and I'm using Windows 7).The only complaint I have about it is the money scale. A large scale roller coaster will cost you $5,000-$10,000. A burger vendor will cost about $300 to set up. Other than that, I've no complaints. Very fun game, even after playing it for eight years. If you like strategy games, tycoon games, or other similar games, you will not be disappointed.

I really like it!
|
It's not like any show on TV and that's saying a lot. Like another reader wrote, it's "quirky".I haven't seen every episode of Season One but I'm looking forward to it. I already have it in the shopping cart to purchase. I love the comedic timing of Colin Ferguson as Sheriff Carter and isn't Jordan Hinson (his daughter Zoe) a ringer for Rachael Leigh Cook??? It's also great to see Salli Richardson and Joe Morton on the show too... it's really very cleverly written, funny, intelligent and gives the sci-fi lover in me a boost. As one of the characters say in a season two episode, "God's gone to Eureka! Hallelujah!" ;)Oh and I only gave it four starts because I've not seen all the episodes ...yet. I'm pretty sure it deserves five stars though.Eureka's a cool place t'be... I wanna go... sign me up.

A Remarkable Book

I thoroughly enjoyed Angela's Ashes. Even though he had a terrible childhood Frank McCourt was able to keep his sense of humor and his humanity. I don't understand the reviews that said it was so sad they couldn't finish it. How can it be more sad for the reader than the man that wrote it. He was able to find reasons to laugh in every one of his awful situations (expect maybe when his siblings died).I liked that he showed us the hypocracy and hatefulness of the Catholic church and some of the elders in his life. With all this negativity in his life it is amazing he was able to keep his dreams alive.

A Wizard? A True Snore
|
With his latest CD, WITH A TWIST, Rundgren continues his relentless slide into an artistic abyss. Once a truly fine singer, songwriter, producer, and musician, Rundgren has produced an album so void of vigor, verve, and vitality that it is hard to believe this is really Todd. Here, Rundgren sleepwalks through jaw-droppingly lame covers from his own catalog. His phrasings are so uninspired as to be comical. The playing is absolutely nondescript. It is a credit to the enduring quality of the songs themselves that one can even make it through a single listening of this recording. Most of Todd's longtime fans have given up on the man who's lost his muse. Only the fanatics will be able to convince themselves that there is anything of value here.

I was going to write a long-winded review of this work of fiction, but I see that others have already covered that ground. Instead, let me simply add my RM witness that Mormonism hurts families. The Mormon church is racist, money-hungry, power-hungry and absolutely corrupt.No worries though...the Internet has allowed the truth about Mormonism to reach the masses. The implosion has already started and cannot be stopped. The LDS corporate bosses are powerless to stop it...God bless the Net!

Great read for all basketball fans
|
I have never been a fan of the Celtics, but a big basketball fan none the less. Having said that, this book was perfect for me. It is a in-depth, personal look into the life of the greatest coach in basketball history, as told not only by the man himself, but the great writer John Feinstein. This book gives great insight not only the the makings of the Celtic dynasty, but into the beginnings of the games, and how Red has shaped the game into what it is today. Must read for all basketball fans.

I love the story but hate this DVD

I do not believe this is caused by the seller but the sound cuts in & out thru the whole DVD. The picture is perfect but the soundtrack is either so faint or just not there. I've purchased other DVDs from multiple sellers & have run into this same problem. The manufacturers need to verify the audio before they release a DVD for sale. Also why do I have to turn the volume up on my TV to 100/max to hear some DVDs as I had to do with this one????

Could He Be More Wrong?
|
Wow, I came across this in a used book store over the weekend, and had a chance to evaluate John's hypothesis.He pretty much got the entire 2008 race wrong. First, John overestimated Hillary's strengths, engaging in classic "Clinton panic." Then he underestimated Obama's strength as a campaigner. Finally, he got Rudy badly, horribly, embarrassingly wrong.Has John come clean on how he got things all messed up?

This is the soundtrack to the classic Playstationgame. If features all the songs from the game, plus all the instrumental music cues. The songs, most of which are rap songs, are really cute and amusing. The instrumentals are similarly "cutesy", and almost all of them are under a minute long (a few are less than ten seconds long). If you are a fan of this game, I'm sure you will enjoy the soundtrack.

best of both worlds
|
I enjoy good hip-hop. It truly doesn't matter whether an emcee is underground or mainstream--Jedi Mind Tricks or Nelly. If he (or she) is lyrically and instrumentally entertaining or thought provoking, I will give it a listen. Maybe even like him. Concerning K-os' "Exit" album two words...good stuff! The album is excellent listening! Moreover K-os is an excellent MC. He reminds me of a Q-tip mixed with a neo-soul flow. This is definitely an album for the collection no matter the preference of genre. Might I add, if u haven't done so already...look into the "Black on Both Sides" by Mos Def. If you like "Exit", u will definitely enjoy Mos Def's solo lp.

The best baby lotion ever!!!
|
I have used this on my daughter since she was born in 2002. A little goes a long way, and the smell is so soothing and mild.She used to look forward to our 'after bath routine' of the lotion and a massage.Just a note: Most pediatricians will tell you NOT to use lotion of any type on your baby for the first couple of months. The reason is that the baby needs to adjust to the outside world (i.e. produce their own body oils) and lotion can interfere with that process.I also HIGHLY recommend the Aveeno baby bath. It is the only one that did not irritate or dry out my daughter's newborn skin.We used it right up until she was 1 1/2 and her skin became less sensitive. I plan on buying a stash for my new arrival coming this May.

In this incredibly original and fresh book, Kindl creates a totally believable and slightly magical shape shifter for a main character. She expertly weaves a brand new twist in the age old lore of shape changers and puts herself so into Owl and Houle's minds that it is hard to believe that she does not become an owl by night. This book is fabulous- full of unexpected turns and made more delicious with every detail.

Strong but small
|
First off let me say that i do no use the Playtex Drop-In system. i had purchased these bags solely to use for milk storage and they are pretty good. The bags are sturdy but not inflexible, they stand on their own which is great when placing them in the freezer - no spills before they are frozen. plus they are easy to transport. My only quim is that when used in this way they only hold a fraction of their capacity. The 4oz bags can only relistically hold 2oz of milk when you use a twist-tie to secure the top, anything more and the milk will squeeze right out when closing. The 6oz bag holds about 4.5oz other than that i would say they are good - plus the added bonus of being pre-sterilised makes them super easy to use.

A spiritual classic
|
From the opening words, I could feel, smell and even taste Pilotville, a tiny swamp burg on the tip of the Mississippi delta. With a nice dose of "I didn't see that coming" thrown in, Athol Dickson has delivered a wonderful story. River Rising blends good and evil, suspense, longing and, ultimately, hope in a Greater Good to create a spiritual classic.

I don't own a gun because I am from a city... with plumbing. I wanted these so I could read in the middle of a crowded place. Simply stated, these do not work for that. And they are highly uncomfortable. I can't wear them longer than 10 minutes at a time. If you wear them, expect to hear everything the person next to you whispers. Yes, they suck that bad.

compelling story but poor translation
|
I'm only in the middle of the second book (out of 4), so take my review with that in mind.The biggest problem I have is that the English translaction is extremely poor. It is not the content I'm complaining about, but the writing. It is so lousy that it will take away from your enjoyment of the story.The story is compelling but there is a few things that bothered me about it:1) whenever the main character (of the moment) gets in big trouble, his predicament is always bailed out by some incredible coincidence that his assailant (or antagonist at the moment) is actually a friend or knows a friend of his. It is ALWAYS like that, throughout the book.2) the characters in the book, whether they are righteous or unrighteous, always get lauded as heroes. You can have a despicable character and yet he is respected among his peers...why? Maybe it is a cultural phenomena that I am not aware of.anyways, I'm going to finish the entire series and see what happens.

Bright, but will change the color of housing when off
|
I got these because I thought it would be nice to have brighter back up bulbs, but because they are blue they really darken the light housing and make it look well....blue. More than I anticipated they would. Then I tried them in the red brake light side and even there it darkened it to a ruby red that looked funny because of the blue color. They are nice and bright when working, but unless your looking for a blue lens housing look, stick with a clear/amber/chrome bulb. Also, pretty pricy for a small simple bulb.

As a Pilot and Mama, I'd Never Buy This Book
|
We got this book from our library for our airplane-obsessed nearly 2 yo. The illustrations are nice, but the 'facts' about fundamental things like the way a jet works are WRONG. This book perpetuates myths, helping to make another generation believe that airplanes can just fall from the sky. This book is a disservice to our children and I ABSOLUTELY do not recommend it.

Don't waste your money
|
I bought this product for a home with a 4 digit house number. Not good for this product. You can not space the numbers so they are centered. You will either have a big space first your last. As I was trying to get the numbers in or out the nubmers broke. Not a well built product at all.

Never gives a "real" shave.
|
Shaving with this so far, even with the "shaver saver" and other such things, has been tedious due to its simple lack of ability to give you a decent shave. No matter how hard I've tried with this thing, I always find myself reaching back for my good ol' three-blade & Barbasol.

Never Boring!
|
I liked this book alot. Each of the chapters covered a different operation and was very fast paced. Vietnam era SEAL/UDT operations were covered extensively and with a human touch. My only complaint (kind of a big one for me), and the reason I didn't give it a five star, is that the packaging of this paperback leads the reader to believe this is a work of non-fiction. The front and back cover do not mention this is fiction, and only once I got home did I notice the word fiction on the spine. The author states in his review these stories are based on fact. I just wonder what is fiction and what is non-fiction. Other than this personal complaint this is probably the most readable and flowing book on SEALs that I have read. Enjoy it but know it's ficton.

Another Iconic TV Sitcom On DVD.
|
The Golden Girls is, was and always will be, GREAT! Right up there with I Love Lucy and Laverne & Shirley on any "Best in history" list of sitcoms. It's a pleasure to own this Complete Series set. The quality is excellent. So, if, like me, you didn't buy the single season box-sets separately, buy this and get ready for a non-stop laugh-fest through all 7 seasons. Enjoy!:-)

Buy another router-unstable connections
|
DI-624 router frequently disconnects itself from all computers, wired and wireless, attached to it. What's more, it will reboot and might take up to 5 minutes to establish a connection, which may happen in the middle of a download.D-link suggests that you downgrade the speed to 10Mb which will reduce files transfer speed in your network by a tenfold. But the issue is not resolve. Upgrading to new firmware (2.50)won't resolve the issue either. Furthermore, replacing the network card for a new one won't resolve the issue.If you want to spend many hours fussing, calling & e-mailing tech support and rebooting a router and reconfiguring it until you are red in the face....go for it...

BOUGHT FOUR ...RETURNED FOUR
|
I am really happy for all those individuals that have bought this tv and seem to love it. Unfortunately, I have not had a similar experience. I bought four tv's for family, friends, and myself. Of the four, only two got reception (very poor at that), the other two never got reception. I returned them and requested two more. Those did not work either. After a couple of weeks the other two stopped reception all together. Also, the audio was barely audible. I finally gave up and returned all four tv's. It is a shame because they are vey cute and compact, but apparently of the cheapest quality. I recommend you stay away from them.

Great show, great book.
|
Fans of the show will adore this book, a fabulously detailed and illustrated companion to the animated sitcom. I love "The Simpsons" for its wry humor and sly takes on life- politics, family, pop culture, etc. This book has it all- plot summaries, the best lines, character snipits, inspiration for certain episodes.Two thumbs way up.

Most terrifying zombie massacre to come to the big screen...

Thats exactly wat it isnt. IT isnt scary at all man what a bad movie. The reason i gave it 2 stars because of the idea, nazi zombies. The makeup is horrible. The worst part is the dubbing on this movie. WOW one of the worst dubbing ever. .... FYI: DONT BUY THIS MOVIE.

DV-R of Technicolor jewel in B&W!
|
Sach Guitry was the son of France's most illustrious actor and the godson of Sarah Bernhardt. As such, he had access to the historical sites and costumes reserved for the finest museums, opulence the common tourist could never see on their own. Some of his films are like what could have happened if Preston Sturges had devoted himself to making historical epics. They're elegant and cheeky, fast paced, silly and entirely over dressed.This is a terrific and gorgeous historical film being sold here by AMAZON as a shoddy DV-R with no packaging and a stick on label. It features a murky black and white transfer of what appears to be a pan&scan; vhs tape from a faded print. I'm returning it without watching it. I'd rather remember how beautiful those fireworks looked over the fountains at Versailles in the beautiful color print I saw and not mess around with this ugly desecration!

Great Salt!
|
I absolutely love this salt. I know that it's much healthier for you than table salt so that's why I use it. I like the Real Salt because it works well in a salt shaker. I've tried other brands which tend to clog in the shaker, but this works just great. I had previously bought a case of the individual shakers with the Real Salt, so I just refill those with this refill bag. I feel much better physically when I'm using this salt as opposed to table salt, and I just read an article the other day about how it can help lower blood pressure to make the switch, since you're getting trace minerals you otherwise wouldn't get with refined salt. Great product! I recommend highly.

More features than I will ever use ...
|
Installation was more user friendly and more simple than with wired units from Trek whose instructions seem to be all in Chinese. The unit works well on my mountain bike and keeps me informed through an intuitive interface. Their are more functions on the unit than I will ever use. Kind of speaks to the need for a co-pilot to keep one abreast of all the information the little unit makes available. The price was right. I am satisfied so far.

The best hard rock debut of the 90s? Maybe so.
|
"Core" is just an awesome record. I know the entire album by heart. Scott Weiland is one of the best vocalists in the modern rock era.Every song is a classic.The big hits of course, are: "Sex Type Thing", "Wicked Garden", "Plush", "Creep", "Crackerman", and "Dead and Bloated".But my favorite song on this album is "Piece of Pie".There is not a dull moment, and so many hooks that this is one album you should keep coming back to again and again.Out of the 600 + heavy cds that I own, this is in the top ten. I recommend getting this one and "Purple", the second one. If you like those, try "Tiny Music..." (not as heavy, more poppy), "No.4" (more grungey), and "Shangri La Dee Da" (back to the pop rock again). I really like all of their albums, but the best and easiest to get into are the first two.

Vinyl = Cooler.

The music definitely deserves five stars. Amazing work, and the band's best record, imo.I'm very disappointed with the packaging on this record. From a band like EITS you'd expect something gorgeous, but what it really is is simply the art on a standard stock of cardboard and a flimsy paper sleeve on the inside with the same art sans the angel. That's it. Nothing to fold out, no inserts or anything. I didn't care much for the printing of the art either, as it seems like the cheapest process was used, on a semi-gloss sort of surface - like magazines.The record is also only two sided. Not a big deal for some people, but it should be noted anyway... if you're one of those that want 'superior sound' on several 180 gram sides then this won't give you that. Still, it's a nice record for the collection.

Great Movie for Adults
|
Beside the fact that it received the Oscar for best picture, this is truly a film for adults. It's about the future King George of England who had a serious speech impediment. Because of it he hated speaking in public even though his station demanded it. He, through his wife, sees a speech therapist - he hates every minute of it but continues. When his brother abdicates and he becomes the next king of England he's terrified but comes through when it is demanded of him. Colin Firth's performance is amazing. Mr. Firth's diction is always correct. But to think what he had to go through to maintain the imperfect speech of the King of England is amazing. It is great film and one that should be seen by all.

Classic reprinted; long over due

I believe the book's title speaks for itself. Often remembered for this initial body of work, Mr. Gowin's images married the snapshot with the pictorial tradition. The reproductions show considerable fidelity to the surfaces of his actual prints. I proudly display this book in my collection.

I read many of these online already. The book is slender, with big print and margins. I'm glad I borrowed it rather than buying it. I found the political essays less than interesting, and feel it will really date this book, unlike her others.

Worked for less than six months... beware
|
Bought this to replace a similar mini-stair stepper I'd had for a few years. Worked fine at first. Got increasingly noisier over time, but these products usually do squeak and groan from friction. Thing finally broke today... cheap construction: although the little hydraulic shocks seem fine (they heat up on all models), tension is produced by a big plastic flywheel held in place by a metallic cable/cord (about 1' long, it forms a U over the flywheel producing tautness and tension, allowing a step to go up as you put your foot and weight down on the other step) eventually, this cord simply gives way... the wound metal of the cord snaps to the point where it loudly snaps apart with a loud pop. From the looks of it, it cannot be fixed and is now nothing more than junk.This product is not worth the price.

No captions, no subtitles
|
How is it in the modern era of television that a company is too lazy to include captions or subtitles on a disc? I've been mostly deaf all my life and have always had to use captions. Over 95 percent of the media created these days, I have no problem with... this even had captions when it was broadcast on TV (its required by law), but there are none here. If you need them, save your money. I, unfortunately, am now stuck returning a crappy item.

GREAT PURCHASE

PURCHASED THIS ELLIPTICAL AFTER DOING QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND ALSO READ ALL REVIEWS. DELIVERY WAS NO PROBLEM. CAME A FEW DAYS EARLIER THAN EXPECTED WHICH WAS NIICE. THE COMPANY CALLED B4 COMING AND EVERYTHING WAS DELIVERED AS EXPECTED.THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 HRS. I DID THIS BY MYSELF, BUT AS OTHERS HAVE SHARED TAKE YOUR TIME AND SET EVERYTHING OUT SORTED BEFORE HAND.AFTER ASSEMBLY I DID NOT HAVE ANY SQUEAKS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER SCREEN.THE SCREEN IS HARD TO VIEW IN DIM LIGHT, BUT THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME. I HAVE USED THIS EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT 2 MOS. I AM VERY SATISFIED, AND WOULD ORDER ANOTHER SCHWINN AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.HOPE THIS HELPS.VERY SATISFIED.

I've had this kettle for about 12 years and it still works great!
|
I just read reviews about this kettle and was surprised. I've used mine multiple times each day for at least 12 years and it's still working perfectly. The red ball faded a year or two ago and the plastic is quite firm at all times. Perhaps they changed the construction over the years, as ours still performs with absolutely no problems. It took us five years to agree on a toaster, so I figured I'd begin the kettle search for that day when we need to replace ours.

I could really get into the game, but it keeps crashing. I don't know if its because my computer is using Windows Vista or other reasons. I have downloaded the only patch and it didn' help much. IF these problems could be fixed then this would be one of my favorite game.

reads like a shoot-em-up video game
|
I usually like Rollins books but I had a hard time finishing this book. There is not much of a story. Just a lot of blood and shoot-em-ups. I finally skipped a lot of the "action" pages and read in between to find the story. Not much story but finished the book a lot faster that way. It was not worth it.

Written for women survivors only...
|
I was disappointed that this book was sold as a self-help book for adults instead of its true target audience which is adult women. They authors devote about 71 words in the preface to male survivors. I would recommend this book for women, but I would not recommend it for male survivors like myself. It made me feel as alone and unheard as when I started... I am quite angry at the lack of focus on male survivors and the idea that the authors readily admit their research has been restricted to females, but still sell the book as a panacea for both sexes. It has just reinforced the isolation I feel. There is a book by Mike Lew and it is written just for male survivors and it is not marketed it as anything else. I have not yet read it, but it is my next choice to read.

The power of deception

Don't give these frauds another penny of your money. There is better speculative fiction out there. Wake up? Castenada was no sorcerer. Mickey Mouse was a sorcerer in Fantasia. Castaneda was a sorcerer in his own Fantasies. The guy is a liar. Pure and simple. What more does anyone have to say. Except that a fool and wisdom never get together in the first place.
