Save your money. This ain't a DVD-A.
High-res 2-channel and 5.1 DD. That's not a typo. They couldn't even bother with full-bitrate DTS.I'll leave it at that.

Disappointing ending to a great series
The other four books of this series were phenomenal, but this seriously lacked the profesionalism that the others were written with.

Another Great Mystery Mixes Tarot Cards, Satanism, and Murder
Second Book in David Skibbins' "Tarot Card" mysteries.Our hero Warren Ritter (aka Richard Greeene) has been running from his past as a member of the radical Weatherman Underground group in the 1960s. He's changed his name and gotten plastic surgery, and has moved to Berkeley, California where he works as a tarot card reader. Two people from his radical past show up, though, and blackmail Warren into investigating a series of murders involving the leadership of the Berkeley Church of Satan.Great characters and an excellent plot! I do recommend, however, that if you haven't read "The Eight of Swords", that you read it first. Warren's life is just too complicated to understand without reading the first book first.

Feels normal.
I find that Mr. Theroux's style is not exciting. And that is his greatest strength. I feel that he describes his experience as most people would as he calls it as he sees it.Several fellow world travelers have said the same. I appreciate the perspective he has.

Not for those of us who love to travel
I prefer to read a travel book that provides helpful information on destinations without too much personal bias. To my disappointment, I find plenty in this book that shows the author's close-mindedness and the lack of respect for local hospitality and culture. One example, when the author describes the Mongolian hospitality and the cheese that they offered him, his comments in the book were "...Who first discovered that you could make from milk a dried curd with the consistency of rock and the smell of vomit - and then eat it?". I wouldn't mind realistic descriptions of the places and things, but I find the author's attitude less appealing.

Don't look here for objective journalism.
You will not find real journalism wth objective critique of the hard issues facing the USA in this newspaper - just the party line of the left. I am canceling out my subscription. (although it is not easy to figure out how to do this on Kindle)

A great protector
We purchased this spout guard specifically to prevent injury during exhuberant play in the bath tub. Our son likes to splash a lot and will stand up very quickly if he gets water in his eyes. This product has plenty of cushion to prevent him from hurting his head. The only downside is that it doesn't allow us to switch from tub spout to shower because the pull-up knob is covered by the frog's head. Otherwise, it's perfect for keeping our son from hurting his head.

Sweet and Fun
Personal File I could describe as "unadulterated Cash." The pieces aren't hard hitting, but short and very sweet. Personal File is a great name for the album -- the songs FEEL, like someone else said, as if he's right in your living room. The album is a really nice personal view of Johnny Cash, a little different from other albums I've heard. A great addition to one's collection!

Jensen J052W Speakers
I have purchased two sets of these speakers. The first I put in the backyard under the eaves. Sound was so good and could be heard nice and clear in all areas of my yard. Great for Pool Parties. So great that I put the second set in my garage. I do store the ones outside for the winter. This is the second winter I have done so. Good low cost speakers! Look nice suspended on the clean white wall in the garage.

Rambling and Naive
Caveat is I usually don't read this kind of fluff, but I enjoy it when it's good. The premise of the book set forth in the first 2 chapters is interesting and inspiring - simplicity and power equals beauty - an objective concept when applied to machines. In Chapter 3 Gelertner digresses to a lenghty and naive discussion of the Apple desktop suggesting the reason that Microsoft won is that Americans don't recognize beauty until they are beat over the head with it. He continues to ramble with some unformed ravings on interface and computer cabinet design and peters out from there. Book design and illustrations are appalling considering the subject of the book. Reminds me of the papers I used to write in college on the night before they were due.

So Far So Good!
I received this bike about a week ago and have used it about 5 times since then. I had very minimal problems putting it together, but that is probably because it just takes me a while to figure things like that out! But it is very light and I can move it room to room easily. Plus it is very quiet which I like because I can use it after my son goes to sleep. I am 5'6" and have it on the lowest seat level and it works great. I wouldn't think it would be good for anyone under 5'4" or so. The tension levels are great. I am still on level 1 right now and feel like I am getting a good workout. The seat is a bit uncomfortable if you are on there a while...I am looking into getting a gel seat cover. Time will tell if this bike stands up, but right now it is definitely worth the price I paid.

don't leave me hanging
I just could not get this book. I was so confused with this made up language and the the main character drove me nuts! Is he this great dragon rider who can use magic, or is he a pouty teenager from the 21st century.When I got to the end I was so upset because I felt that there was so much that has been left unanswered. I felt that I was left hanging with some important issues, such as Eragons parents. It seemed to me that at the begining of the book he cared a great deal with wanting to know about his parents, especially his dad. But when it was discussed later on in the book Eragon never tried to find out any information. Especially when the character Brom talked about his mother and the fact that he knew her. Which led me to come up with my own speculation of...was Brom his father? Who knows because nothing was revealed.

It works
The large diaper wrap was a little tight on my dog even with the velcro at the widest setting, and I was worried that the elastic might chafe him. The extra large size is REALLY big, though. I went back to the large size without a liner, and found that because the diaper has a flannel interior lining it works fine without any additional pad-type liner (my old dog doesn't leak much, just has trouble in the morning when he first gets up). I've got some non-elastic diaper bands in fun fabrics that I keep him in during the day (just in case) and I overnight him in the Simple Solutions elastic pants. They are the only brand I trust to leave him in overnight because they don't leak.

Great value
This multipack of batteries was a great value; much more cost effective than buying one or two. I have several pedometers that use this battery and they were starting to lose their programs due to the battery running down. I needed 4 of these batteries and this 10 pack was much less expensive than buying a couple of 2 packs from my local electronics store; I would've paid more than three times what this 10 pack cost. I should be covered now for a long time to come. I purchased these from a marketplace seller who shipped my purchase promptly and I believe I got a good deal. I only wonder how long the batteries will hold their charge if they're not actually powering a device as I have several left over that I may not not need for a long long time.

Bad Reprint
This is probably one of the best Plane Trigonometry books in existence, great explanations of proofs and a great way to see how they did trigonometry "back in the day." However, the quality of this reprint is bad. The size of the book is deceiving. When you open it up you have a little 5x3 inch square of writing in the middle of the page. There is about 3 inches of blank space on each side surrounding it. This may be good for notes but the text is really small and a pain to read, not to mention the text itself is light in some areas. I know I'm returning mine to get a better one.

intimate acoustic genious
Don't let the number of tracks fool you - From the Ground Up is a wonderful collection of Collective Soul A and B sides with the cords pulled out of the amps. The biggest plus for the album has to be its production quality. Each guitar strum, percussive strike, and vocal tone can be heard loud and clear. The tonal qualities are produced wonderfully and each sound compliments one another magnificently. I believe that She Said and Satellite are the stand-out tracks on the album, but From the Ground Up is a great Cd to just pop into the player and listen from beginning straight to the end. Grab it for the summer!

not enough animals
Most people have completely missed the point of this book. Animal Farm has nothing to do with communism. Animal Farm is about the age-old question: What would the world be like if animals could talk? It's pretty straight-forward.The only problem that I have with this book is that there aren't enough animals involved. Animal Farm limits itself by only including farm animals. I'd like to hear what wolves, bears, camels, and elephants have to say.Hopefully Orwell will write a sequel to Animal Farm and include more animals.

Makes me long for a wind up alarm clock.
This device is too complicated. After you set the alarm, you have to remember that this is not the same as turning the alarm on, so you have to hit another button. You also have to remember that hitting the OFF/RESET button on the top of the clock just turns off the alarm for that day. The alarm will go off the next morning unless you hit another button. This is especially annoying when the alarm goes off at 6 AM on a Saturday. The nature sounds are repetitive and irritating with the possible exception of the ocean. The mechanism of the CD player is noisy, making it difficult to listen to low-level music to sleep by. While the display is backlit, the controls are not, so it's difficult to turn things on and off in the dark. I would not buy another one of these.

easy to use test and accurate
I have used this pregnancy test twice, and had accurate results both times. It is more accurate if you wait until you've actually missed your period as the instructions indicate, otherwise if you are pregnant the lines won't be as dark. I was clueless when I went to the drugstore to buy a test, but I had heard a lot of good things about EPT and know they are a reputable well known company so that's why I chose E.P.T.

The Truth is in the box
This box set is very well put together. Everything from the beautiful packaging to the easy to sort through seasons. The flip top cover magnetically locks in place and hides a small drawer at the bottom of the box containing the paperwork extras like the movie poster, mini comic book and episode guide book.Although I felt like they should have included the brief Lone Gunmen series to make it truly the "complete collector's edition." Of course with the new movie it should be the nearly complete collectors edition. Maybe the new movie will fit in the drawer?My only real compliant on the packaging is it is a bit too tall for some DVD storage shelves. I ended up having to put mine on a book shelf.

A short, sad and bleak story
This was a short, sad and bleak book. It's actually similar in style to a short story or vignette. I was interested in the book as I enjoy reading books based in England where this was set. The main character Florence, opens a bookshop in a small town which sounds intriguing. It sounded interesting at the start but went downhill from there. The town doesn't support her and sabotages her success. It ends with tragedy and sadness.

a helpful reference
This text by St. Alphonsus Ligouri is a healthy antidote to some of the devotional excesses of the pious work on Marian devotion. There is nothing wrong with piety or devotion, but it is wrong to link it with anti-intellectualism or an insufficient appreciation for the achievements of the secular world. This book of course does not make this error; it is meticulously well documented, cogently argued, and written by a true scholar and Doctor of the Church.Having said this, after reading this book, I do not feel the grace or presence of the Holy Spirit nearly as much as when I read the other less detailed and less documented devotional works. There seems to be much less that feeds the soul in this work. It is a responsible and scholarly work, but I much prefer St. Louis de Montfort for motivation and growth in holiness and piety; this work, by contrast, is a helpful scholarly reference but for me at least did not stimulate the heart or soul.

Motivational Book for Writers
I got the presentation-style overview of this book in person from the author. I took lots of notes so when I had the book in my hand, I more skimmed it than anything else. (Not because it wasn't worth reading through by any means.) The biggest thing I took away was that you have to do a little every day. Write a page. A paragraph. Write something. I took his advice. I had writer's block for 4 months. I broke through it because I thought of Mr. Stone insisting that you keep writing. So I did. And I finished my book. Also, he gives you permission in this book to have your own way of organizing your thoughts when you're writing a book. I hate index cards. With a passion. Everyone wants you to write everything on them and then lay them out all over the floor ... throw them up in the air ... take a bath with them (I don't know.) But now I know it's okay for me to hate them! I wrote a book without one index card. :) Great motivational book for writers.

Ehhh...
This video is alright. Eric Roberts is not very believable as a young school aged boy, and his physical acting during the painting and symphony scenes is distracting and overdone. The video has elements not included in the story, perhaps to make Paul seem a more humane character than the cold portyal in print. In the written story, he seems to simply shut out his father and look down on his peers with an aloof disdain. However, the movie shows a boy who tries to please his father; a boy treated cruelly by his classmates. Though nicely filmed and authentic in appearance, the film tries too hard to accomplish what the story did not.

Used to be good. Now it's not
I used to love this product. I LOVE a really spicy Thai Green Curry. When I first spotted the Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste at my local grocery store several years ago, I was thrilled at the prospect of making green curry at home. With the "old" version, a tablespoon or two was enough for a really flavorful and spicy green curry, comparable to what I get at my favorite local Thai restaurant. The last few times I used this product, however, I ended up adding the whole jar and was still diappointed with the end result. It didn't have the flavor or the heat that I had come to expect. From now on, I'll be using somebody else's product or making my own at home and freezing it.

Cap fell off, Corsair doesn't reply to request for replacement
I purchased this product based, in part, on the glowing review at Amazon. I was particularly pleased to read "And also this is one of the few USB devices that the cap stays on very tight." When I received the drive, I put it on the lanyard and hung it around my neck. Within minutes, I felt something hit my foot -- it was the cap, which had fallen off by itself!On Monday (4/14) I e-mailed Customer Service at Corsair, saying the cap fell off and requesting a replacement. On Tuesday, two people read my e-mail (judging by the Read Receipts). To date, however, I have not heard from Corsair, nor have I received a replacement cap.The product seems to work well as a drive, but I am reluctant to use it much for fear that I will lose the cap (it really is loose!!). I may try e-mailing them again, but if they ignored me once, why should I think they'll notice me a second time?

I bought this product after seeing reviews saying that it straightens afro hair but it did not work for mine. I followed the directions and waited longer than 48 hrs to wash with the shampoo. My hair is still in an afro and frizzy. It made my hair softer and easier to comb thru but that's about it. I still have half a bottle left but I think i might go to the salon to get a professional treatment.Update: Ordered QOD max keratin system and my hair looks and feels great!!! My hair felt like silk after washing with organix it felt like straw!

Great Book
I love reading Catherine Coulter and I am always eager to read a new book of hers. This book was good because it contained a lot of my favorite characters. It was enjoyable on how she talked about the lives of all of the brothers and sister years later. It still lacked a certain style that she includes in her work. By this I mean the wit and humor. It must be because Tysen was hard hard character to write about, especially since he was a vicar. Overall, the book was enjoyable and kept you entertained until the end.

cast infusion
After season 3 one would wonder what else the show could do. House has seemingly solved every medical mystery. The show seemed played out. We knew everything. This happens to every show after a few years. The genius of season 4 is to change the cast but not suddenly. We still see our favorites but there's new and suprisingly enough just as interesting characters to explore.

For those that do not have the occasion to use Tcl/Tk the reference helps you stay culturally literate.

The charicters of both Elizabeth and Darcy behave in a manner I would never have expected them to be so stupid as to do.

Boring
I had read somewhere that this foreign(german i think) slasher flick was good...so I rented it(thank goodness I did'nt buy it) and was really disapointed. The dubbing is bad and the plot is so unoriginal. Basically a maniac escapes from an aslyum who likes to kill people with big scissors-at the same time, some teenagers decide to party in a spooky old school where they just graduated from. There is alot of running around, people crawling through air vents, and of course stabbings. It isn't even gory if you're into that sorta thing and the beginning, which is like a rip-off of Scream is just plain silly....Skip this one or rent it if you have insomnia...

A Horrible, Absolutely Anti-Christian Approach
This is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It passes itself as "God's way", but it is the way of devil. It has nothing to do with the way of Jesus, the God of Love, the loving shepherd of his flock, and everything to do with a vengeful, retributive, unjust deity. That it may work to affect behavior says nothing about its effect about the soul of children, and upon the family. Our children, our Christian children, deserve much, much better.

An OK choice for beginners
I bought this DVD with Sera's "East Coast Tribal" DVD to help facilitate my at-home practice and I have to admit that it is dull in comparison. The combos are less than stimulating and the crazy lava-lamp background really is distracting from Darshan's teaching technique. Unlike Sera's smooth, graceful combos, Darshan's seem to be a bit tame and boring. Most of them are variations on ATS movements (arabic hip twist, for one) that you can find on Fatchance DVDs or are small isolation combos that you could feasibly make up at home.The one that that is amazing on this DVD is her performance pieces. Darshan really is an amazing dancer and well worth watching... but I have to admit that her lovely performance wasn't enough for me to keep this DVD.I WOULD suggest this DVD for its drills and combos for a beginner, however, since they're simple and clear-cut. However, if you're an experienced dancer who is looking to expand your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

No dishwasher safe?
These are great tongs. The other zillion people rating them should have you convinced of that by now. Even though I'm very satisfied I'm going to concentrate on my complaints instead of their virtues.Cons(-)- hard to get clean without a dishwasher. The arms are not closed but curve under towards the food side, making a long skinny cave for stuff to hide.- The rubber grips on the arms are far from heat safe. I'm not sure how they ever got exposed to direct heat there without my hand burning up first, but they did.Neutral- In retrospect a longer pair would make some jobs easier. Nine inches is really only right for the stove top.Pros (+)- Many, see the other reviews.- Notably the locking design is vastly superior to the foolish old ring design, what were we ever thinking?Verdict: buy 'em.

Very Hard To Follow
I love Tom Peters. He is truly a genius when it comes to Management topics. However, I found this book almost unbearable.Tom writes this book as if he is going in so many different directions at any one given time. For me, it was presented in a incredibly staccato fashion. It is as if there was no one single thought longer than one or two sentences long, and then it immediately went into a different direction. I like books that flow, and this one, for me anyway, did not flow at all.I will continue to read Tom Peters. However I will definetly preview any book from him before I decide to buy.

Perfect!
I just dug up this CD from my older CD box the other day. I forget what an incredible listening pleasure I get from it. It is such a good example of good art: varied elements that complement each other, creating colors of profound meaning-- even if it isn't clear upon an initial listening. For example, with the Party piece, is he saying that the only good party is a party that doesn't exist, or is it a statement about the dangers of imagination or laziness?Just when you think john S. Hall is on the verge of self-loathing, he picks you right back up with morbid commercials or banal yet intriguing cancer metaphors. I just wish he would have made more CD's like this-- i don't think that his band (king missile) ever quite achieved the delicate mergence of spoken word and music like it is presented here.

The Killer At His Very Best!
I am a long time Jerry Lee Lewis fan. Some of his live performances are good and some OK. However, without question, this is his greatest ever, period. His playing, voice, song selection, and the overall performance make this a must have. Now for the rub: For some crazy reason, this never been offered in DVD or CD format. Dumb. Buy it and have it converted to DVD and CD. The picture quality on the VHS isn't great. The soundtrack is great. Well worth the time and money to have it ripped.

We paid the $400 for the Edenpure because we thought it would save us on utility bills over the long run. (The ads say it "costs pennies to operate."

DOES NOT DESERVE EVEN ONE STAR!
This book was a total let down. I decided to go natural about a year ago and thought this book would be great for styling tips and hair care tips since the words "naturally textured" are in the title. WRONG!!! Nothing in this book could help me on my journey of falling in love with my tight curls. The worst part, in my opinion, was the styling section. The only two natural hairstlyes they suggest are a blown-out fro and a twist-out. The rest of the styles require weave, which I prefer not to use. Very disappointing. Take it from me and everyone else...SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

a bunch of new age crap
This was quite possibly one of the worst books I've ever read. I was expecting an exciting story centered about the current debates over New Testament history. What I found was an unoriginal poorly written plot, that only digs into New Testament history, as it is currently seen by scholars, enough to advance the authors own beliefs in some new age omnigod. If you are seriously interested in real history there are far better books available.

This is the first book of this kind that I have ever bought. A friend of mine is into astrology, so I thought I would give this book a try. I was quite disappointed. This personal relationship guide was way off in my opinion. The adive given to me about partners was opposite of what I have experienced, even topics about myself were off. I'm sure there's many books on astrology and relationships out there and I'll just have to keep looking because this one just didn't do it for me.

Unbelievably Contrived
I can't believe how ridiculous this book is. Although the author can put sentences together well, his plotting is absurd. The plot twist on page 250 was obvious around page 20 or so. The protagonist commits an enormous number of foolish acts. A plot device on page 300 is the classic example of the deus ex machina of a poor writer (or, since it involves a religiously motivated suicide bomber, perhaps it is a machina ex deus, either way, it is unworthy of a literate thriller).I approached this book with high hopes. Unfortunately they were dashed quite early.By the way, the movie was superior. It cuts out the flab and makes it a taut, gripping thriller.

You can either buy this for cheap or the same thing overpriced from Nintendo. Its not really a tough choice.

WHAT A DECADE!
Wow. Madonna had a great decade of hits, even spilling over intothe new century (Music...etc.). GHV2 showcases Madonna's awesome range and tastes in music. You have to love her...all the songs are classic madonna. Each holding there own memory and madonna trend. You must buy GHV2...it's no secret, she's a ray of light full of music.

Good, but could be better
I like Gold Fibre because it has a wonderful writing surface (very smooth) and because it is thick. It writes fantastic if you have a fountain pen, and doesn't get wrinkled and crappy-looking. This paper manages that fine, but it has some garish colors to it - the yellow is a horrible kind of canary and the lines are thick blue and tri-lined bright pink, detracting from the otherwise high quality of the paper. I really liked some orangish-gold paper I found in Staples once, but there appears to be no mention of its existence anywhere online under the Gold Fibre name. I thought this was the one I wanted, but I was wrong. I'll have to put up with it until I can find my lovely stuff again.

Good mat, make sure you get some support under it though
I basically use the mat for practicing MMA on. Grappling, take downs, sparring. Seems to be really sturdy, the velcro edges hold the two mats I own together really nicely. The area I use these in is a converted garage, with a concrete floor. I would highly recommend that anyone who has a hard surface like concrete either build a floating floor, or use eggshell foam or something similar as an extra layer. The mats do a good job of absorbing energy, but I think on top of bare concrete is a little too much to ask, as it still makes for some hard landings.For the record, I had some acoustic eggshell foam (2" foam) that when laid underneath the mats made an excellent support. With the two stacked on one another I can take a fall and not be phased in the slightest.

WAY TOO BORING; WAY TOO LONG; DID I MENTION BORING? WOULDN'T HAVE FINISHED IT IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE BOOK CLUB AND YOU CAN'T TALK IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BOOK!!! GLAD I GOT IT FROM THE LIBRARY. 3 SETS OF CHARACTERS - THE FERTERNITY BOYS; THE SLUT GIRLS; AND CHARLOTTE AND NERDS. THAT IS ALL THAT ATTENDED THIS COLLEGE. AGAIN, LET ME SAY, BORING.

What do you say about a cable?
Well this one is great! The key feature is that the plastic is soft and doesn't insist on curling where you don't want it. I have too many cables running all over already and don't need ones that won't stay where I want them.

Superb Clipper
Attachments fit very solid, unit is fairly quiet and very good at what it does. My only gripe is that the switch to turn it on is a little cheap, maybe a stiff flip style switch like my old wahl had instead would be better. Everything else about this clipper is superb to that old style clipper. Most new ones you get at wal mart these days are a joke. Ordered this one online and I am very happy with my purchase.

Wonderful cd
This is a very nice cd to have home, it's the best way of introducing music to your baby. Amazing composers, great selection and the instruments used, made it easy for "little ears". It's a calming, sweet way of putting your baby to bed. Everytime I have time I turn it on and give a full body massage in my daughter... we both love it.

Depends COMPLETELY ON THE BIRD
I got this for my parakeet. She hated it. She wouldn't put it on for me, and she screeched and bit it furiously. But it all depends on whether or not the bird's willing to stand for this. the only way to get it on is to manhandle it if it's a small bird. The bigger ones just might bite your head if you bend down to fix its feet... And they can wriggle loose. i feel bad whenever i put it on my bird. she looks lopsided and walks like a drunken monkey

Worst printer you can buy
There are a lot of things about this multifunction machine that I like. It makes nice copies, and although the printer output is not as dark as the old HP 5MP that I was going to replace, it is acceptable.But I am returning this machine. When making multiple copies of a page (like 9 copies) or when printing a document of about 15-20 pages, the machine makes an audible alarm noise while printing. Brother customer support says this is normal, and is due to the fuser expanding and contracting. But I am not going to accept that, since, as I said, this noise sounds like an audible alarm, not normal mechanical noise.

I have read Danielle Steele since "The Promise" and this one is probably her worst. I'm sorry she put this book into print. She's much more powerful than this!

Waste of Time and Money
The materials in this book are way too basic. They may be good if you are trying to teach your kids. The chapter on going global has inaccurate information. I am returning the book.

Gold - Linda Eder
This album has an excellent variety of music and all beautifully done as only Linda can sing with a softness that Barbra cannot! An album where every song is a winner!

Good idea, poor design
First, these did not fit any of the radiators we have in our house. The containers have to fit snugly to your radiators otherwise the water in them will never get hot enough to add moisture in the rooms. Second, the radiators don't stay hot for long enough (typically 1-2hrs) when the heat comes on. Since these are made of plastic material I think the heat does not get conducted fast enough to vaporize any of the water in them.Bottom line - save your money and get a Vornado humidifier or something.

Wow, My Flashback Realized !
I saw the Mac twice. Once in 1968 as a foursome and then in January of 70 with Danny Kirwin with them just about 3 weeks earlier than these Boston recordings. It's rather unique to have a record of what I witnessed at the Filmore nearly 40 years ago! It was one of the best shows I ever saw along with Cream and Jimi Hendrix. Rattlesnake shake and Jumping at Shadows are the standouts, but even Jeremy sounds fine. The band is about as tight as it can get. Buy this!

Not what I was looking for
I work with elementary age children and they just love the "You read to me, I read to you" books. I purchased this one (along with another) and this book is at a much higher level. The biggest issue is that it is not clear who reads what....which is the whole purpose of these sorts of books.... So, the book is useless to me.

Three Good Songs
I bought the this album one night when I had a sudden, overwhelming urge to hear "Be With You." There are three songs on the album I like: "Be With You", "Bailamos", and "Rhythm Divine" - the most upbeat tracks. I didn't like any of the slow songs because ... unfortunately, Enrique doesn't have a good voice. "Sad Eyes", for example, is nice lyrically and musically, but performed by Enrique it is almost painful to listen to. "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" - the duet with Whitney Houston - starts off well, but progresses into a noisy mess. When I saw him on VH-1's Men Strike Back 2000, it only confirmed my very strong suspicion that yes, he's cute, but he really cannot sing.

Hardly sexy,hardly thrilling
Eric Roberts plays a creepy professor who sleeps with his female students--and teaches one of them,Lila,to look into the past.Lila suspects that the professor may have slain his former students to cover up his secret.Eric Roberts is supposed to be the handsome,seductive Casanova;there are plenty of gratuitous bedrooms scenes that are more laughable than steamy.It's hardly erotic;it's hardly a thriller--it probably makes "Basic Instinct" look like a classic."Sensation" would be perfect for a cult movie night.In its attempts to be an erotic thriller,it ends up being silly&just; plain BIZARRE.When will this movie get the MST3K treatment it rightfully deserves???The movie is worth seeing for its campy "sexiness"&its; strange plot.Beyond that...

How not to film a concert
Man i would love to see this concert- to bad the director wont let me. If you can count to 5 before he changes carmeras or moves the shot- you can count really fast. Good god its RUSH I think they can put on a show that I would enjoy without having to have the sceen changed every 5 seconds= there Outta be a law, otherwise Great sound and great value for the money= I just wish I could actually watch the concert.

The best
We've owned various pruning shears over the years and were never totally pleased with their performance. I've had a chance to use the Felco F-2 and it works like it should. Clean cuts every time. Highly recommend - worth the extra bucks !

Really didn't work for me
The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing started out very well for me. The earlier stories I found to be engaging and had some funny moments (I never had a "laugh out loud" moment from this book, but a few smiles here and there). But I really found the book to just drag on and on. Towards the end I was really just skimming the stories and wishing that the book would hurry up and end. I just couldn't identify with Jane, particularly at the end when she memorizes the dating/self help book. She basically turned into a bit of a moron and I found her hard to stomach. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Main Bowl Leaks
The main bowl can't be used to store liquids because it doesn't seal completely and will leak if it's tipped over. This seems to be by design. The lid is not a press-and-seal or even screw-on, but rather you turn it 1/8th of a turn to lock it down. If you never plan on having soup as your main dish (rather than the very small soup side-dish bowl) or even extra-juicy steak in the main dish then it will probably work fine. Otherwise this is not the bento for you.I usually really like Zojirushi products, so this was a disappointment for me. I'll be returning it for a refund and looking for a different bento.

One big fat great evening
I heard about the movie last summer and loved it when I saw it. Nothing but fun looking at life in a real world. No my family is not quite like this one but I would would marry the brother any day just to be part of it.I loved sharing my enthusiasm for the movie with friends and I have not met anyone who did not enjoy it. Ok it did not have any one killed in it, no one was blown up, I didn't see any blood and in the end but I did enjoy laughing. If you can't laugh at this movie you can't enjoy life.

Very Sturdy
I bought this back in September (2006) and was a little concerned about weight limits. One of the pictures I saw showed the hook holding a step ladder, but I have a Little Giant ladder (a combination extension and step ladder deal) which is quite handy, but also quite heavy relative to other step ladders. Bottom line, yes it can support the weight. I've had it up since October and it doesn't show any signs of excessive strain or warping. (I also have another one holding a double stroller)

Epiphone Les Paul Special II
This is a great guitar. If you want a Les Paul styled guitar this is your guitar. Just be aware that just cuz it looks like a L.P. guitar does not mean that it will sound like the real thing (a Gibson L.P.) That was something I learned very quickly. Ha Ha. But all in all for the price this is a great looking, great feeling and good sounding guitar.
