DAVID MANN will be proud
|
This is a must-buy for all OCC fans and for bikers alike. Wow, I must say this book encompasses what OCC has done and their contribution to the world of custom bikes. Not only that this book have featured their custom bikes and the story behind it, but it also has provided the readers the history of motorcycles, Sturgis, etc. It also has wonderful photos of their bikes like the Liberty Bike, Jet Bike, Caterpillar Bike, etc. Make David Mann prud and buy this book.

Whatever you do, do NOT use this on your pets. I used it yesterday evening on my Westie and she immediately had a reaction to it. We've been up all night trying to comfort her. We've bathed her four times and are preparing to visit the vet. I'm horrified to find reviews all over the web about the injury and deaths of hundreds and hundreds of pets from this stuff. I understand that not every dog or cat reacts the same way. I've used this product before on the same dog with no ill effects, but trust me, it's not worth rolling the dice with your pet, but this time it's horrible. I never even thought to look up reviews for this type of thing. It's a shame we can't trust anything we buy anymore. Look at the image of the container it comes in, it even says "New, Improve Skinguard something" forumula! BULL ***T!!! There is NOTHING improved about this! This is nothing to play with. DON'T USE IT!AMAZON!! You need to STOP selling this stuff!

Know what you're buying!

I didn't hate it because i needed the product. I would not recommend it to anyone that needs a good clear picture. The film was not even in a package, but just loose, out of the holder, rolling around in the box. I was told, at the photo center, it was old film. Too bad for me i had already paid almost $20.00 for one roll of film. Never again!

These things work great for what I use them for. I bought them to keep debris out of my trail running shoes (while trail running and especially for hiking through thick brush). They also do a good job of keep snow out of my hiking boots in the winter. I just found this out on a long hike in the snow this weekend. The only drawback I can think of with these is that the stirrup is a bit hard to get adjusted properly...but once you get them fit under your shoes properly (and tie the knot correctly), you won't have to mess with them for at least a few hikes.

Corny , but Classic Animated Ghoulish Nostalgia
|
This video ranks 5 stars primarily for nostalgic reasons. If you saw this wacky animated Halloween special on TV any time during your childhood, you will remember the voices of Phyliss Diller and Boris Karloff, the classic monsters, sexy Franceska and the dancing/singing skeleton band in funny Rankin/Bass animated form. You will also remember the corny humor.For those who have never seen or even heard of "Mad Monster Party", if you saw Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas you will see, and hopefully appreciate, how very "Pre-Burtonesque" this animated feature is.Reviewers can debate the quality of the animation or the sound or any technical imperfections this movie may have (remember folks..it was 1967), but one thing is for sure, it's a cult classic that kids and adults will still enjoy.The DVD image restoration shows improvement but it's too bad the sound wasn't enhanced. The accompanying booklet is also a nice addition to this classic.

Works great, great price!

Very easy to use and the light is very bright and easy to focus on the food. The neck is very long, too long for my needs, but easy enough to just coil once around to make it shorter. Has clamp option, and magnetic base that works great! Great Price! Need I say more?

Hollywood Meets Electronica again...
|
(Real Rating 3.5 Stars, but since I can't give 1/2 stars 4 will do.) I enjoyed the soundtrack for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which is the collection of several great electronic artists. I would recommend this album to those whom like the sound style created by the likes of BT, Moby & Chemical Brothers. Good high-energy music. This is not to discount the other artists on the album (U2, NIN, Outkast, Etc.). Their songs were well chosen for this album.

Perhaps the author and publisher have mistaken themselves for the likes of the Pope and the Vatican...attempting to change divine revelation is not in good form or permissable for that matter.. it seems since every other religious text has been corrupted by man, and given the responsible parties, this comes as no surprise...

No redeeming value.
|
If I didn't believe in free speech, I would take a marker to scribble over second phrase of this sticker. Joking about murder is sick and insensitive. Also, you never know who is in the vehicle behind you. It could be a bereaved parent who had lost a young child. This insensitive sticker would only make them feel worse. Furthermore, if someone driving a vehicle with this sticker accidently hit a young child, I wonder if a judge or jury would factor in the sticker and consider that it might not have been an accident? I recommend passing on this tasteless sticker.

Magnificent book about cooking. Instead of fancy recipes nobody can cook, it discusses the different flavours we can distinguish. Similar to component tasting in wine, Kunz and Kaminsky introduce a system to classify food in a mouthwatering fashion.

An edge of your seat ride all the way through
|
I usually dont watch teen movies cos the actors are very lame and naive at times. I watched Scream because of all the hype and liked it. Then came this stating scarier than Scream I thought its worth a look. Its about a bunch of teens who start partying, go crazy get drunk and run over an innocent road crosser. With the fear of going to jail for murder they decide to dump the body so nobody knows, but the problem is somebody knows. This somebody is gonna make these teens pay for what they did.The film is more thrilling than scary, if you are looking for exocist type of horror then this is not it. The DVD is two sided with the widescreen and full screen versions of the film (the film is all on one side). Theres also a directors commentary if you can be bothered.

Much more bad than good
|
I ordered this DVD on the basis of some of the reviews - it was a big mistake. While Terry Dunn is very relaxing to listen to and obviously knows his stuff, the quality of the DVD makes its all but useless as a training tool. The DVD does not permit selection of the section I want to perform. The section that introduces you to the basic forms is so washed out that you cannot tell what the foot and hand positions are supposed to be.Finally, in the last segment where Terry performs the complete form, the camera pans in too often so that you cannot actually see the form from start to finish.Sadly, I highly recommend you seek another source of knowledge for this wonderful art. I know I will be looking for something better.

Not only was the price good but the product arrived quickly. Primarily use these batteries for wireless accessories and a digital camera and they hold their charge for a long time.

Fine for aching calves, not so much for aching feet
|
I received this for Christmas after always asking my husband for foot massages. I tried it out with huge expectations that it was actually going to massage my feet. For some reason, it either hurts them or barely touches them. I wear a ladies' size 8, so I think my feet are fairly normal as far as size goes. When I put my foot in, I can't put all my weight onto my foot or the pressure is too much. Also, full leg wight pushes the thing away from me so I have to keep scooting it back. Alternatively, holding my leg up so my foot feels good makes my leg tired! This thing is AWESOME for massaging calves, but forget the feet. I am going to buy a $30 water massager and watch sadly as my $250 ottoman collects dust.

Fantastic Family Movie!
|
This movie was my "surprise" for the year. I rented this movie for my children (6 and 8) to watch but I found myself as captivated by this movie as they were. This is an excellent movie that can be understood by children and also appreciated by adults. Adults looking for a great movie that's entertaining for themselves as well as their children ought to give the one a try and dog lovers definitely shouldn't miss this one!

OK toy, less good for serious learning
|
I'm still learning. The 10 blow needed extra effort to sound; bending other notes takes some work. It's OK if you're honking through "Oh Susanna".You can take it apart and adjust the reed gaps, but one cover screw was stripped & needed replacement.If you really want to learn to play, you probably want to spend more & get something like a Hohner Special 20 or a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic.

A Strange and Interesting Life, but Not Necessarily Funny
|
I'd say this book was "O.K.". I didn't find it particularly funny, but the characters portrayed are rather interesting. If the tales are true, the author has certainly had some strange and sad passages in his life. Many of the paths he travels in this book are paths I've never seen, so it was interesting to read about the odd journey.

Adler explores the Wiccan and Neopagan movement, its history and origins, its relation to enviromentalism, feminism and LGBT concerns, and its often uneasy relationship with society. Informative and often humorous, this book covers a wide range of Pagan religions and Craft traditions. I recommend it for all Pagans or anyone interested in modern Paganism. Drawing Down is one of the best books on witchcraft and Neopaganism you'll find.

Corrosion Hell!!
|
We've had these since 09/08 These worked GREAT for a while, but we noticed that with certain spices the covers came off hard. We just assumed the micro shape of certain spices causes the binding. Yesterday, we could've refill the one with Kosher Salt. After fighting we final got the cover off just and looked under the lid, and it looked like Rust... Then I look them up online and discovered these are Aluminum NOT Stainless so we were getting corrosion. MY mistake on that, but buyer beware!!! Tumeric, Salt, Adobo are just a few of spices that cannot go in these cannisters. Leafy herbs are OK. EVEN the placement strips are corroding.

Van Halen & Journey in one mold!
|
This one of Neal Schon's band since Journey & Bad English. The songs are crisp and rich. It's like listening to a VH CD with a cleaner guitar riffs as the usual trade mark of Neal Schon. Sammy's voice still brings out the Van Halen touch on every track of this CD. I wonder why this group only did 1 CD. What Neal's Hardline band did not achieve was achieved by this group. This CD deserves a 4 out of 5!

This book makes me think of God in some different ways. He is so much more than I can imagine and you may find that you have a low view of Him as well. It's a thought provoking book and I had to go back and reread many parts to try and understand what the attributes of God mean to me.

ah come on mr. director..

i love donnie yen on iron monkey and once upon a time in china 2, so i decided to buy this movie expecting a raw good kung fu action. However, I ended having a a huge dissapointment on the film because the action are being fast forward in purpose so that it will look like they are fighting rapidly. I would have continue watching the film if the director would just left the action scene the way it was without fast forwarding it. The action lost its rawness; therefore, about 20 minutes later of the film i stop watching it. This film is about the fourth time in a row that I wasted my money with kung fu movies such as the last duel, deadful melody and the leg fighters. I need to be more cautios next time =(

I knew there was a reason I always dl'd an album before I bought it. This was a waste of $15. I realize that bands change their styles as the play but this was a complete sell out. Every song sounded like the last. They all lacked any sort of energy that can be found in EVERY other Rancid album. I saw them on the Warped Tour this summer and was very dissapointed. They aren't enjoying it anymore. They make it clear that they don't care about the kids in the pit, they just want in your wallet. Sorry guys, I am done with Rancid.

Marketing Online Second Edition
|
Marcia writes from having lived the experience of marketing online to its fullest. Back in 1994 she was one of the editorial contributors to the small business bulletin board I led on the Prodigy Network. I could always count on her to keep our bulletin board community conversations lively with her witty contributions. Readers will find her writing quick to read and easy to digest.The book was revised and updated in a second edition published in 1999. There is enough new material in the second edition, that I would still recommend it as a purchase in 2003. I could not find the second edition mentioned on Amazon.com but I believe it can be still be ordered from the author's website at http://www.yudkin.com.

This show is NOT OKAY!
|
Its a very violent show that leaves you feeling horrible every time you watch it. The main characters get away with killling, drug dealing...shooting young boys. With all the tragedies in our country, this show is an extremely violent and bad example to the young generation who may be watching. The only proper ending would be for the main characters to get caught by the DEA!

EIFFEL 65 MUSIC IS VERY HARD TO DEFINE. IT IS ON THE SAME LINE AS ALICE DEEJAY- SOMEWHAT ELECTRONICA OR SHOULD I SAY THE TITLE TRACK OF THE CD IS EIFFEL 65'S TYPE OF MUSIC - "EUROPOP"- I AM EXTREMELY GLAD WE HERE IN THE USA FINALLY HAVE GOTTEN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MUSIC, OTHER THAN RAP, ROCK OR R&B. EURO POP IS JUST SO FUN, AWESOME AND UNIQUE!! (AND UNDERRATED IN THE USA!) EIFFEL 65 BRINGS "EUROPOP" TO THE USA WITH THEIR DEBUT ALBUM. WITH THE NUMBER ONE WORLDWIDE CLUB SMASH "BLUE" AS THEIR FIRST SINGLE, THE FOLLOW-UP "MOVE YOUR BODY", WHICH WILL GET EVERYONE MOVING ANYWHERE, AND THEIR NEW CURRENT SINGLE, "TOO MUCH OF HEAVEN", WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN THE TOP 10 OVERSEAS. I WOULD DEFINATELY HAVE TO SAY THE BEST TRACK, WHICH I AM PRAYING THEY RELEASE AS THEIR 4TH SINGLE WILL BE TRACK # 11- SILICON WORLD (WE NEED THIS HERE IN THE USA...IT WILL RISE LIKE "BLUE" DID). ALSO CHECK OUT "HYPERLINK" AND THE TITLE TRACK "EUROPOP", FOR OTHER HOT PICKS! CAN'T WAIT FOR ALBUM 2!!!

If you really want to save your money, don't buy this
|
It's not flashy...looks simple, like it would do the simple job of counting coins one by one, right? After about a month or two it stopped working correctly. As someone said in another review..it misses counting some of the coins. When you put in a coin...it will blink the amount you put in (put in a quarter, it blinks $0.25), and then displays the total again. After about two months of use (only putting in about $40) it would frequently miss counting a coin, and just display the total even though I put two quarters in. I'm still using it for storage, but I could have saved my money and used a cereal bowl. Do yourself a favor, spend a little extra if you really want a quality coin counter. I'd recommend Sam's Club, they have some great counters very reasonably priced.

Note that the 94A ball valves are the Apollo "economy" series and are not made in the US. Quality is about on par with other generic made-in-China ball valves.

Over exaggerations, pure garbage, and no perks
|
I had to read this book as required summer reading. It is the WORST book I have ever had to read. The details of some topics were very graphic and inappropriate. The main character Charlie is a 15 year old boy just entering high school. In just a couple of months he's already faced with a plethora of troubles and problems. I know that there are definitely many problems faced throughout high school but his are ridiculous. He faces just about every big problem possible including death/suicide, homosexuality, prenuptial sex, drugs, smoking, etc. His response to every problem is crying hysterically. My "favorite" part about the book is that the book never reveals any perks, the only thing we find out is that being a wallflower is a bad thing.

Hoped for too much - ended in disappointment
|
Whilst the charaterizations and story development kept my rapt attention during the telling of the tale, to say I was disappointed by the ending would be an understatement. Its been a long time since a book that I enjoyed reading so much left me hanging limp and disappointed by an ending which seemed more of an excuse for lack of imagination than anything else. I've read a lot of Wolfe's other works and have not, so far, been let down by those works. Where was he when he wrote the ending to this one? Hard to say, but his mind didn't seem to have been on the job.

Over-hyped & Overrated
|
Hmm...When reading Angels & Demons I felt like I was watching a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, which is exactly why I didn't like it. Like watching a film by the infamous producer I was forced to suspend my disbelief beyond tolerable reason. I was forced to believe that these unbelievable events could be resolved in 24 hours. Above all, I was forced to contend with this pale thin plot formula for the length of about 570 pages.Now I know you're asking why I bothered to finish this book. For one thing, to Dan Brown's credit, it is undeniably a page-turner. The puzzle solving was at least interesting, despite the knowledge of Brown's historical inaccuracies. Otherwise, the character were more-or-less one dimensional and cliched.The only reason I picked this book up was because of all the hype surrounding it and its follow-up, "The Da Vinci Code." I am saddened to find that so many people can in fact be wrong about what is considered good literature.

Okay, here I go. It is definately the BEST James Bond of them all! The plot is great, the acting is great, and the characters are perfect too! Alec Trevelyan (a.k.a. 006) is the coolest! All the actors play their parts perfectly, making it a GREAT movie! I have seen almost every James Bond movie (save the Roger Moore ones, yuck! He was BLONDE for crying out loud!) and GoldenEye is the best!

Great little spatula
|
I was looking for a very small spatula - more in the 6 - 8 inch long size - and couldn't find anything, so decided to try this one with it's smaller size head and it works fine. You can scoop out the last bit of yougurt in the container, get the last of the soup from the can or clean out the saucepan. Wish this company would make one about half the length with a smaller head as that is a very useful size for so many things. However, this will do until then. Cleans just fine and the color choices are good, got the Vanilla and the Red one.

A Terrific Tale of Romance, Mystery, and Spiritual Growth

Dee Henderson weaves a tale of hope, love, and faith with a twist of suspense and drama in this great story of the last O'Malley to find peace. A great read for those who like a really great story with Christian flair woven throughout. A story for the younger crowd is If I'd Only Known... by Edee Wilcox. Again, a Christian awakening is carried through the story with a natural flow. Both books carry the message of God's grace lifting our burdens.

This is my second grass hog trimmer I am NOT satisfied at all with it. The first one lasted 8 years and worked perfectly no complaints. Among some of my problems with it are: 1) It uses 3x's as much line as my old one. 2) The replacement line is too expensive and difficult to use. 3) It jumps all over the place and does not cut a nice straight edge as my old one. 4) and MOST IMPORTANTLY it bites so wear long pants. I'm seriously considering trashing it and repairing my old one. Please pass on this model and save yourself some money. I wish I had followed this advice prior to purchasing it.

Rather poorly conceived nonsense
|
I purchased this movie without knowing to much about it. As I am not an American, I am not so carried away or influenced by the rather patriotic reviews or jingoism that this movie has received. To review a movie as an art form it must have something going for it to make it have the necessary qualities that make a good movie. It must be well crafted, well structured and well acted that tells a plausible story. To engage military personel such as US Navy Seals, and ask them to act out a some what inplausible story line is simply a badly made James Bond movie and is simply risible. The producers would have been better served if they engaged the documentary format. This movie is contrived nonsense and I am sure that the Seals deserve better. I much regret purchasing the movie.

A good author gone BAD
|
I have read every book Mr. Patterson has written. My first disapointment was, When The Wind Blows. I figured he was entitled to one stinker, but Pop Goes The weasel is so bad its even worse. He has destroyed a great character in Alex Cross and written an, almost, racial book. I don't know where all the racial references come from.I also was getting sick of all the Nana, kids, girlfriend etc. It is almost a poorly written love story instead of a serial killer book.The story is weak, the killer is unbeliveable as are most of the rest of the of the cast.It is very sad when a author like Mr. Patterson loses it and twice in a row is too much.There used to be two great Pattersons, now Richard North is all alone. Don't waste your money on this book.

If you liked the first two seasons for their creative story lines, originality, and the pushing-of-the-envelope characterization then you would be disappointed with season three. The story lines don't go anywhere... it's as though the writers stopped caring. And I don't particularly care for the various characters as I had in the previous two seasons. Don't buy, borrow season three and hope that the fourth is an improvement. I am not sure I want to continue with the fourth season, myself.

Is this just about the worst book in the Deryni universe?The lack of a plot, the shallowly-developed characters, and the lack of any cohesive theme spring to mind rather quickly as obvious flaws...Mrs. Kurtz's writing continues to degenerate, it seems, from its high point in "King Javan's Year."This book was horrible by any standard.Just who is the central character supposed to be?Donal, Alyce, and Jessamy are the leading suspects, but none of them are explored appreciably.The story of Vera de Corwyn (Howard) being switched at birth isimplausible at best and almost ridiculous at face value...Marie's death is a rehash of Bronwyn's in Deryni Checkmate.This book should never have been published.

Please don't tell me this is where we are headed!!!

This was one of the worst books I have read in years. Carrie and her twenty-something (and forty-something)peers are all sniveling whiners or frosted ice machines. They are flat. Then, all Ms. Packer's trivia which led me at about page 100 to ask "who cares where the dishes are in the sink?"Carrie, Kiljoy, and Mike were so uninteresting, I couldn't even dislike them.It was like a really bad soap opera novel, I skipped ahead several pages at a time and didn't miss a thing.

Water Politics
|
This is a superb book on the politics of water allocation in the arid southwest. Typical of Professor Erie, the intricacies of allocating this critical resource are analyzed and described in an exceptionally interesting and readable style. A wonderful book.

False Advertisement
|
ALthough the item was shipped very quickly, I was very disappointed upon receipt. The picture of the item and name of the item indicate that it has dragons embellished on it. It does NOT! It is plain black. The actual tag on the item depicts a corset with dragons but the name of the item is actually a "metal boned lace up back corset with underwire cups." No mention of dragons at all. Possibly, the seller should consider using the proper name and show an actual picture of the item. At least then, I would have known exactly what I was purchasing. They have a very difficult return policy with restocking fees and no returns on lingerie, which normally I wouldn't care about and undertand except the item is not the item shown!

How is a movie this bad POSSIBLE?!?
|
Okay, this is literally the worst movie I have EVER seen, and I include Plan 9 From Outer Space (which was funny, at least) in that statement. Trust me; you do not want to see it. You know how when a director's too embarrassed to be associated with his film he uses the pseudonym "Alan Smithee"? Well, this is a Smithee production, and for extremely good reason. I recommend you see if your local video rental place has a copy, check it out, erase the tape, and return it. You'll be doing future renters a favour.

Well worth an hour...
|
I read the book sitting in a recliner rocker at Costco while my wife was shopping. It took about 55 min. from cover to cover. It's somwwhat like a car wreck. Everyone slows down to look... some pull off to the side of the road and look some more... but everyone is glad it didn't happen to them and they weren't involved. I'm glad I didn't spend ten bucks to buy it but I'm glad I read it !!!Unlike one of the other reviewers, I wouldn't buy multiple copies and give them to my kids. I'd tell them to go shopping at Costco and look for a comfortable recliner. Just one view...

Every Child Should Have This!
|
My brother and I grew up listening to 1974's "The Songs of Fox Hollow". Like most of the other reviewers, I can still sing the majority of the songs (which are all included here, first 11 tracks) from memory 30 years later. After many years of thinking that I'd never find these songs on CD, I stumbled upon "Country Songs for Children". It was getting hard to find a turntable to play the original record on so I bought the CD as soon as I found it, although I miss the original artwork on the record jacket and accompanying booklet. I still enjoy these songs even though I don't yet have children of my own to share them with. In the meantime, I'll be giving a copy to each and every one of my friends who are now all starting to have children of their own. Buy this for your child even if you don't like country music - it won't matter, the music is just plain good.

Dont expect to much

This book wasn't very expensive but it wasn't that good either. If you collect jewelry books like me you will already have all the pictures. If you are buying other books at this price it may be worth an add on but dont expect to much. The photos are of medium quality and the text is poor.

Themes to Remember
|
This book and CD are so much fun for my children, and they don't even realize they're receiving an education in the process! My daughter (age 9) will play the CD "just to hear it", and her recognition of classical tunes and composers is truly amazing. It's about time we had a product like this on the market. I can't wait for Volume II!

What the hell is the internet?
|
I like Kevin Smith movies, but I'm not a huge fan. This one is definitly my favorite though. It is funny and the whole movie in entertaining. If you like Jay and Silent Bob in the other movies then you will love this movie, if you don't like them them you should not watch it, but I shouldn't have to tell you that right? I can honestly say that this movie gets better everytime I watch it and I don't smoke. The bottom line is you like Jay and Silent Bob or you don't.

Surprising good novel
|
I saw this book at the entrance of Walmart and I thought I may need a book to read while waiting for my husband to get out of the hospital. In a weeks time I let my father read it and my daughter and had to read it myself (since I bought it for me anyways) It was easy to read and I was able to follow the story. My daughter liked it too. As for my father, since he could read the larger print (and this was not a large print book, it was just larger then normal) He liked it so much I got him 3 more for fathers day.

Graphic Voyeurism
|
I happened across this film as a friend was watching it. If extremely brutal graphic violence and sex are your ticket, then maybe you will find this movie enjoyable. I found it utterly disgusting, and in fact, could not sit through the whole thing. My wife made it further than me, but finally gave up on it. This movie is a testimony to the graphic voyeurism that Hollywood propagates today. There is nothing classic or stylish about this film. It just seeks to shock, and bludgeons the viewer with the graphic nature of its content. I am not sure why anybody would find this entertaining.

It's alright

Good songs, Goodlife w/ Nate Dogg, Fatty Girl w/ Ludacris. The rest are decent. Though Light, Camera, Action deserves a mention. The rest of pretty average to me. You might like it more if you're more into dirty south rap. (Personally I'm more into east coast and west coast) Average CD.

Good Quality for Price
|
Overall seems very durable but time will tell. Make sure you measure your table and chairs. This product was much larger than I expected. But would buy again for the price.Update: As others have mentioned, this cover ripped in about a year. I live in Los Angeles and the weather is fairly mild. Not much rain and definitely not much snow. It's big enough that I can move the rip to still cover the furniture, but it's somewhat tacky looking now.

Tenths on one side, inches on the other
|
This is sturdily built. The description doesn't say it, but the tape has feet, inches and eighth's on the white side, and feet and tenth's on the yellow side. (I'd have preferred not to have the tenth's.) It is actually 330 feet long.

I think it worked
|
I used it on a long weekend in the woods. I didn't get bit much. But it was hard to know when it was on. 2 of the 3 made a high pitch sound when turned on, the 3rd just clicked.I did get bit once and put the device near the mosquito and it never flinched. Found them cheaper at CVS drugstore.

great!

We bought this to replace an aging Muratec machine. Boy, was this a step up in performance. This machine is way faster. If you are looking for an economical, fast and reliable office fax then this is for you. When our inkjet fax machines in our branch offices give out we'll likely be replacing them with the Brother.Update: After using this for over two years, not much has changed. It is still working well and we are quite happy with it. The only issue we have had is that if you have multi-page faxes we have found that if the pages are pushed too far down into the machine it may grab more than one page at a time. We have rectified this by setting the papers in only to the point where the machine recognizes them.

Not worth the money

My husband and I received this toaster for our wedding three years ago. It did what a toaster is supposed to do and worked fine until about a month ago. Now the lever will not stay down to toast the bread. For the money I expected this product to last longer then three years. I won't be purchasing another Cuisinart toaster.

More pointless film theory puke
|
You can't follow the thread of Catherine Russell's argument; you can only pretend to, whether you're posturing for stuck-up film theory boyz or forced to "identify the central concepts" in film class. Just read one of her sentences, and then ask yourself, "What is she trying to say?" I'll start you off: "Viola's use of video is informed by an existentialist theory of medium specificity. His treatment of possession is thus ontological and in many ways a more successful version of the 'cine-transe' imagined by Rouch" (234). Over 300 pages of such absurd drivel make this book unreadable. Don't read it passively--question every word, every invented phrase, every name she drops. Her goal is to sound creative and learned ("the cartography of modern culture" *is* a neat phrase), but are we really impressed? No. Well-written books give you plenty of ideas for your time. This crazy offal just gives you one: film theory is utterly pointless.

Great movie
|
I am not really what you would call a fan of horror movies, but I must say that I LOVED this movie. I was just surprisingly good. I sat down and watched it for the first time on one of the movie channels. I wasn't expecting much out of it. By the end of it, I was hitting the record on the DVR so the wife could see it cause I knew she would love it as well. It had great humor, nice characters and development, great ending...it was the total package movie. Like I said, I am really surprised how much I liked this movie.

Linksys gets 5 stars
|
Linksys WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB AdapterIn my opinion the Linksys routers and associated products like the WUSB54GC adapter, which is the receiver for the router signal on the satellite computer, are the best on the market. But what makes them the ONLY product to buy is their customer service. Unlike Microsoft and many other computer product companies, Linksys will happily solve your technical problems on the phone free of charge even if the product is not new. My wife got a new computer. Her old one was the satellite in my system. I could not get her new one to receive the signal. Even though the linksys router on my main computer was a few years old, Linksys told me exactly what I had to do to get it running. Never asked me how old the router was, or did I just buy it. No $45 up front charge to answer a question. This is the company with which you want to do business.

This book is design for people who don't know Cisco material at all to get started. But simply this book along will not get you through the test. The Cisco Press's ACRC is more complicated and detail. ACRC test gets down to the detail which this book does not have. The type-in hands on aren't the hard on the test, the details are whats hard.

Friendly Felines
|
What a wonderful compilation of educational and heartwarming stories! I have four domestic housecats myself and have oftentimes wondered what similarities or differences they might share with their close cousins. NOW I KNOW! What strikes me the most throughout the material is the responsibilty displayed by the lucky folks who own or shall I say are owned by these wonderful cats. I find it compelling that such a special relationship can evolve from these wild cats. My domestics are only a cathair away from them evolutionary wise and it was refreshing to see the same feelings that I have for mine expressed through these admirable small exotic feline owners. Kudos and I truly hope to see more future material of this nature. Thanks for the valuable product!

I have been listening to all the PERRY MASON mystery titles that I can find on Audio. Colonial Radio has put together a very enjoyable series which cover the first five books in the series. They are well acted, and of course well written. They are a great way to spend a few hours trying to solve a mystery.

This is a great read
|
I read this book 15 years ago, it was incredibly interesting and wanted to give a copy to my father for Christmas as I know he will enjoy it. I chose a "Used- Like New" book, having, in the past, been perfectly happy with this option. This book, while it has no markings or dog-eared pages, looks like it is 15 years old. The pages are yellowed and the cover looks worn. While I am sure my father will still enjoy it, I don't think it'll be going in his stocking!

A Must Have !
|
I recently purchased the Xbox Advance AV pack. I have never heard a game in true 5.1 digital sound and wow its totally incredible. The only down side is that they make you buy a fiber optic cable,instead of giving you the choice of the digital coaxial which is relatively less expensive. I am also a little worried about losing sound quality running into in to the pack from my reciever. I'm not quite sure if I am losing quality in my sound or not. However if you have a dolby digital reciever or a tv with s-video it will make you feel like your in the game. One thing I did like though was the fact that they included the s-video cable.

A True Incubus Fan
|
First off Id like to say that all true Incubus fans know that Fungous Amongous is the first and most interesting album that Incubus has put out. I do agree with earlier listeners that all Incubus CDs sound different. Right after I bought this CD I thought that it was deffinitely new and crappy. But after listening to the album a second time, I found that this album is better than expected. Dont let Megalomaniac be the way to judge this CD. ACLOTM is not anything like its single and suprises the listener to say the least. If you are an Incubus fan buy it. If you came at Morning View youd probably like it but if you came at SCIENCE or Make Yourself, be prepared to get used to it.

Disappointed
|
I was quite disappointed with this video. It appeared to be a rather 'amateur' production with poor cues and instructions. The instructor appears to have difficulty talking since she's out of breath. I guess, I was expecting a higher standard like the belly dancing videos that are available. I enjoy bhangra music and have some concept of dancing to it so I found the moves boring and not quite to my expectations. I would skip this one even though I think the concept is great if someone could come up with a better production.

Dick at his Darkest
|
Philip K. Dick appeals to me because his work is quirky, surreal, and Dark. This volume has stories that fulfill all three of those aspects. Almost all of Dick's later works include self-identity and identity issues that twist the stories and reshape the characters. These stories cut across his career, but many of these stories emerge as identity-focused as well. Good stuff from a master of fiction.

Not working as advertised, may be broken

I had problems with firewire (ie it wouldn't work) immediately--I attributed this to my flaky firewire card. It worked well under USB, but there were weird problems with my computer (Outlook would hang)--these resolved whenever the drive was off.I attempted to use this drive with my laptop today, first via firewire then by usb. It got about halfway through a big file copy when the drive went offline and I haven't been able to get it back since.This is just too flaky, a HDD for backups needs to be johny on the spot and work. I will not use Lacie again, not even for a doorstop.

Garbage,

Home Movies is the best show ever, I mean it totally blows everything else on Adult Swim away. It even makes Family Guy look bad, seriously it really does. Now, person reading this review take everything I just said about Home Movies and reverse it, because thats what I really think. How could anyone watch a piece of trash like this and say it's funny? Since when is people mumbling crap for a half hour funny? The last time I checked it never was or will be. Anyone who thinks this show is good is out of their mind. How could you even compare this to The brak show or Sealab 2021, or even Aqua Teen? It just completely blows my mind.

Fake

It's easy to write about living in a way that makes perfect sense. Most people with a bit of imagination could do so fairly well. But living it? I went to see Cohen's spiritual community and found a narcissistic and arrogant spiritual teacher talking of how to live enlightenment. This man writes of things like true autonomy and 'creative friction' but his students have been reduced to a bunch of drones that dare not question him.It's interesting to note that the only decent review was written by one of Cohen's closest students.So, nice read, but shame it's not genuine.
