Still good but getting a little old.
I love Doc Martin, even into Season 5, although it is beginning to get a bit old. How can so many quirky characters seem so right, so normal? All in good fun.

One and done
My PNY card worked fine for a one year and suddenly went belly-up. One day it was simply unreadable. There's a "lifetime" warranty, but do I really want another of these?

Excellent dado, not perfectly accurate
The Forrest 6" x 24-Tooth Dado Set cuts perfect dados without a doubt. The problem is, mine is not perfecty accurate. For 3/4" it calls for both outside blades and 4 - 1/4" chippers. When I put this configuration on, it is not 3/4". I have to use the plastic shims. For [the price], this is not acceptable in my book. I don't know if I just got a bad set or if this is the way they are made. Besides that, the cut is nothing less than perfect....

True Pulse
This album was indeed a reggae classic, and also one of the very best albums that Steel Pulse ever recorded. They were a British band with Jamaican roots, and their blend of old and new reggae styles perfectly gelled on this masterpiece. Clever lyrics, seductive beats, and that familiar reggae styling. Not a weak spot on here. Even if you aren't much of a reggae fan, this album is well worth a listen. Nothing strange on here that will turn off some listeners, such as a bunch of spacey dubs or dancehall silliness, just very good reggae music.

Illuminating
Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay displays the art of true masters of both crafts. Too often screenplay writers have to condense a novel to movie length. The skill of expanding the short story masterpiece is needed in this case. Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana prove their abilities by expanding characters only mentioned in Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain" without detracting from the carefully developed main characters and heart-wrenching theme.The reader of this dual-work edition is also treated to illuminating commentary from all three writers and a printout of the credits from the film version.Thom Koch

P.S. My name is Hillary Swank and I'm a spolied brat
P.S. I'm Dead would be another good title. Hillary Swank is such a spoiled girl in her movies that she ruins romance in every one of them. I think her goal in life is to convince girls everywhere that romance is to treat your guy like crap and he will coming running to you because of it. The Dumbook, That other one where channing tatum runs around kissing her feet for two hours; they are all the same movie.

Not that bad as they all say
I found that this movie was not as bas as you read all the time. All right, it won't enter the AFI's 100 list any time, like ....ever, but it's great to look at, and if you can stand some silly lines (during the opening scene for exemple), it will reward you with the final crash, which I really liked, also because because it was so long.Give it at least a try.

These batteries saved me a lot of money
I purchased 2 pairs of these batteries for my Palm Pilot IIIx because I was sick of spending a lot of money for non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. And I found them very reliable. There is no possibility of leakage with these batteries, because they are Nickel metal hydride, and they provide a large amount of energy for my Palm Pilot. Using them, I never found myself with empty batteries on the road. They are much better than NiCd batteries because they provide more then double mAh, and they do not loose their capacity with time. I would not trust any other batteries to keep my data safe, but Energizer. I use them in combination with Energizer charger for NiMH and NiCd battery family.

Don't Waste Your Money on This!
Considering the other reviews, I thought this would work well and be easy to use. It is anything but. It was hard to line the card up in the slot; I had to try repeatedly each time I wanted to use it; it had to go in at precisely the right angle, which was not straight in. After about a half dozen uses the thing stopped engaging the card properly, and while the unit was working in terms of the light flashing when I went to download pictures I got a "no images to import" message. I'm back to downloading from my camera.Given that I've had it more than 30 days, I can't even return it. I won't buy this kind of item from Amazon again; I'm going to a local camera shop where they will do a better job of standing behind their product.

DOGMA: A Preview of Hell
DOGMA has scores of "comedic moments" pumped into it. The problem is, none of them are the least bit funny.Example: Rock flops down and is asked if he knows Christ. Rock replies, "Hell yeah, nigga owes me fi dollas!" I kid you not.At one point, a Sh*t Monster appears. No, I don't mean Alanis Morrissette. An actual creatue made of feces shows up for our "amusement." Are you starting to see a pattern?DOGMA tries desperately to push all the comedic buttons it can, but each attempt yields nada. The cast can't save this ungodly flop. Neither can the so-called "message." Hell, I don't even think the God it claims to glorify could make this film watchable.If DOGMA doesn't make you an atheist, nothing will.

1 More Thing........
I was just reading on back of the other reviews that said DS would get better graphics than the PSP as seen in Meteos.......Your Wrong! The DS CANT have better graphics than the PSP. 2 examples: Lets compare SW episode 3 on DS to SW battlefront 2 on PSP! The PSP mimics the console version of Battlefront 2 while the DS SW episode 3 game mimics the graphics on GBA. And if you have seen ridge racers on PSP intro you know that you probably wont even see it on DS in 07'. Besides, if you look at specs, PSP is more powerful than PS2 while DS is only slightly more powerful than N64.P.S. I have both PSP and DS and I havent touched (literally) my DS in 6 months but maybe that will change with advance wars........but then again thats only 1 game.......

What an Awful Book
In Street Wars, Tom Hayden goes qualitatively past forgiving thugs for their thuggery; he presents them as heroes, warriors born at the wrong time. The fault, the blame, in the book goes entirely to America for not taking the lead of SDS and the other New Leftists of Hayden's heyday. What a vision: Somehow a coalition of stupid violent thugs and college-age "philosophers" will feed and clothe the millions.The only positive value I see in this book is for its object-lessons in how ideology blinds. You see it best in Hayden's interviews and character profiles, where he can just report data like "So-and-so fathered 5 children with four different women, never intending to support any of them, and killed three people, all before turning 18" and then hustle to the point of the story, which is how horrible it is that we "demonize" such remarkable fellows. What garbage. Grow up, Tommy

How can you not like Dr Seus?
My father had the original printing of this book. The pages have have torn away from the binding and the cover is tattered and worn. But for 23 years it has delilighted and enticed me. There is never a moment that I pass by a pond and wonder where it connects to the sea. Oh what kinds of fish could there be, if I sit and I stew and am patient like you? And bait my hook and have a look and wait all day for McElligot's Pool to connect from me all the way to the sea.

My son would give it 5 stars
We got this book out of the library, and a week later I hid it because I needed a break - he wanted to read it SO MANY times every day. My two-year-old son loves this book. He loves anything about trains, but this one especially appeals to him with its bright pictures and cute animals. I gave it four stars because the words are pretty minimal and boring to the adult reading it, but my son can hear the words "choo choo" and "chugga chugga" a million times and never get bored. He likes making sounds for the different animals, and even helps me count, which he usually will not do. I will probably end up buying a copy after we return ours to the library.

This is one of the worst Christian CD's I have ever heard in my life. I hated it. As one reviewer already stated, I hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated,hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated it.

Pass on this one
I purchased this walker for my five month old daughter. She had already been happy with her saucer, but I thought that she might enjoy being more mobile and less confined. First, the walker was difficult to put together and then when I tried taking it apart, it wouldn't disassemble. The toys are loud and startled my daughter. She grew disinterested in a very short time. The walker is bulky and doesn't roll well. I would pass on buying this.

Not too bad
This is a fairly good series of commentary for the begining Book of Mormon Reader. These books provide a good basis to start from. Having sat at the feet of these two great scholars, I was a little dissappointed in the depth of their commentary. However they are both reliable sources.

my girl loves it
In this book an episode that mentioned in the series of chapter books was described in detail. My 5-year-old (or 1st-grader-to-be) girl loves this book as well as the chapter books. I wondered if it would be too long and difficult for her, but she has already become to know the essence of this story from the chapter books, so she really enjoyed to read this. This book is the longest and toughest book she has ever read. It took her about 2 hours, but she really concentrated to read and was finally done. I'm very proud of her to be able to read by herself.

No English Version?
I heard this book endorsed by Webster Tarpley so I came here to purchase it. Unfortunately it's in German, not English. Does anyone know if and when there will be an English version?It's a shame something so important (apparently it's a very good book on 911) was published only in German which restricts its readership to a small group rather than the larger audience of English-speaking peoples worldwide.

My whole family loves this CD!!
My daughter is 3 and she loves to hear this CD over and over again!! Her favorite songs are "Soup" and "Pig Party". We love it too... "Spin Your Web" and "The Skeleton Song" are our favorites. Mary Kaye is really able to capture what it is like to be a child. Her music doesn't talk down to kids. It is creative and fun and truly original. It is beautiful! I'm so glad we got "Spin Your Web" and Mary Kaye's other two CDs. They will always be a part of my daughter's childhood and my memory of this incredible time!

Rambling Consumerist Babble
I had high hopes for this book. The notion of a uniting, core drive is appealing. But after reading halfway, it is revealing it's true colors as a rambling hodge-podge of mutually contradictory theories without coherence or concrete action plan.The main "meat" section is strictly designed for business selling. No plan is provided for home telesales. Later chapters feature high school psychology concepts along with cut/paste Internet newsclippings etc.

Decent album
I've heard of this band for some time now but never bought this CD. I had a chance to get it free so I took the opportunity. The first video I saw was for Endure and thought to myself not much there. I WAS WRONG. Most of the songs are metal with progressive metal more imagination of what Endure is. I STRESS the progressive because it is a big part of what they do. I feel they picked a wrong song (Endure) to have a video for. The song does not express their true nature. This is a good album though. Nothing new here but solid metal. Metal fans will like it for what it is.

LOVE the stacking and jingly ball
These are so fun! You can stack them up or put two half circles together to make a ball. I stick the smiley face inside a ball so my baby can shake it and hear the sound. I also take the half circles (not the smiley ball) for bath time as they dry fast and don't retain any water (preventing mold like the squeeshy toys attracts). They're colored and numbered so it's a great learning toy as well.

Esto no es un grupo de Rock
So un fanatico del rock en español desde su epoca de oro en los 90's. Siempre me gusto la Ley desde sus principios mas goticos a la The Cure, hasta sus exploraciones mas electronicas. Este CD sin embargo me desilusionó por completo. Muy estilizado en el estudio deja de sonar a banda de rock para convertirse en el debut de solista de Beto Cuevas con una banda de estudio acompañante. Balada tras balada romantica se convierte monotono muy rapido. Inclusive su intento de tocar temas mas sociales como la guerra suenan forzados y poco profundos.

Unreliable Junk...
I bought this unit about a year and a half ago, and have so far gone through 3 handsets, and the latest one has also failed. The handsets would lock up, and become unusable, and recently, they only hold a charge that allows about 15 minutes of talk time. The buttons sometimes would not work, and required excessive pressing to get the button to register. My suggestion is to steer away from this product... it's obvious that many bugs exist, and not a lot of thought was put into it's design and reliability. I'm not impressed by this Siemen's phone at all.

Excellent album for their greatest hits.
Anyone who likes the Tempts should have this album to at least hear Paul Williams sing, "Don't Look Back." Unfortunately, real Tempts lovers will miss greats like "Beauty's Only Skin Deep". Still, if you have to have only one Temptations album, this is as good as they come.

Have you read "The Shadow over Insmouth"? Reed it before you think in see this movie. It seems that the people tha made the movie forgoth that they were filming a movie about Cthulhu.

Freedom and its price
Of all the books portrayed the turbulance time of pre-independence days, this book is the best. Most of the happenings is in a village but you see the entire India inside that village during those turbulent pre-independence days. The author portrays the unforgiven history through a limited set of characters and with the stunning climax he proves though the human being can be divided by the religion, the humanity always prevails.I always admired Singh's writing style. Eventhough the characters react depends on the situation his writing always hits the point without emotion. And I always liked his "short story-like" ending and in this book also he didn't disappoint me. Worth reading and definetly a masterpiece.

Not happy with the packaging
Although the movie worked just fine (I tested it) the packaging of the DVD box itself was horrible. The cover was wrinkled and crumbled and had half of the protective plastic hanging off of it. This was a Christmas gift for my husband, but I instead gave it to him early so that if he decided not to keep it, the choice would be his. He decided that since the movie played well we would keep it. I don't think anyone should have to receive a gift that looked all wrinkled like that.

An interesting premise, but...
This is a poorly written book. The language is juvenile, the thoughts incomplete. I did not get a feel for the characters. I certainly didn't get any sense of "love and light". After reading some of the other reviews I thought it might be worth a try, however I found it disappointing to say the least. I'm glad Amazon has a return policy.

Inaccurate
I've had this unit for a couple of years now and it's got a lot of issues. The anemometer feature is totally inaccurate, I've never seen it read higher than 8 mph even when we're getting 40 mph wind gusts. The internal house temperature is consistently 3 degrees lower than the actual temperature in the house. The most irritating aspect is the lack of backlighting which makes it very difficult to read. The outside wind and temperature sensors randomly loose their signal for no apparent reason, even with brand new lithium batteries. I primarily bought the unit because it featured an anemometer, but the anemometer is useless and not even close to reality in its readings. I would not buy this unit again.

Only half of this book contains anything about the TV show, the rest is about other projects the boys have done.If you are more interested in behind-the-scenes and trivia then don't buy this book - there is hardly any.

I'd rather ride KITT than Brad Pitt.
The first track is like a rhyming critter who hasn't had food for three days. The second, "Der Fledermaus Technologik" is more tender: a love story set in the Ghettoes of Rome that gives vent to Hasselhoff's grim melodrama. As the song reaches its apex, you start to wonder who it is that Hasselhoff keeps calling "mein spunkchiefer".After such a serious opening, one is surprised and delighted to hear the mood give way in the middle of the album to a series of operatic follies and early house like the Cookie Crew. Hasselhoff starts to have fun and its much better.Unfortunately the last two songs "Jagermeister Fluids" and "Das Butt" revert to the "old jakey" style. ...It makes for a weeping sore of a finale when it should have been cakes and fireworks. ...

competent, general survey
Read the title carefully. This is a book about the "Civil War era." The War itself doesn't start until about page 300. I can't honestly say that I read every word of McPherson's description of the events leading up to the war. Perhaps some day I'll get more interested in the events leading up to the War and go back to McPherson.For readers who aren't very familiar with the Civil War, this is probably as good a book as you will find. For those of us who have read a bit about the Civil War there is nothing new, different, or outstanding about this book. Thus, I would recommend it wholeheartedly to the beginner but question whether it is worth the time of the Civil War buff to read. If you want to read about the War itself, Shelby Foote or Bruce Catton -- or the Shaara's, father and son, are the authors to look for.

Perfect for travel
I purchased this power strip to take to Europe. Combined with a plug adapter, it was the perfect way to recharge our cellphone, camera and MP3 players. The receptacles are spaced far apart enough to allow you to plug in the bulky charger plugs. When not in use it wraps and plugs into itself for storage. And the blue light actually functioned as a night light in a series of strange hotel rooms, which was an unforeseen benefit.I'd recommend this without reservation.

Very small
When I received this necklace I could not believe it was in a plastic bag. After opening it the problem became quite clear. It was TIED in knots. I can't believe this was done in shipping. Someone had to tie it to get such a mess. It took me 1 hour, my son an additional hour, then my nephew a half an hour to finally untie it. After all that you'll see that when the other reviewers say "Dainty" they really mean small. The picture is really deceiving. I think this is going for $65 now. I paid $44 before Christmas on a Gold box deal. Wasn't worth the $44.

a classic reissued but what's with the photos?
The original hardcover edition was published in 1978. It was reissued in paperback in 2004 when it was digitally printed. Unfortunately that process seems have ruined the quality of the photos so they look like high-quality xeroxes instead of photos, a bit washed out. So it would be worth your while to get the hardcopy version if good photos are important to you.But otherwise it would be an asset to any underwater archaeology library, especially if you're interested in interpreting wreck processes.

Glorious remaster, but....
I had previously heard cuts from this album on FM, but never owned either the LP or first issued CD. My favorite YES issues are "Close to Edge" and "The Yes Album." I saw the group in concert several times. I need to play this CD more times to get a true read on its quality. Nevertheless, Track one: "Going for the One' is glorious in its dynamics and innovation. You can hear the roots of their later albums in this piece. Overall, I think this is a great remastering job, and demontrates to those unfamiliar with Yes, the power and virtuosity of their playing. Surely, years ahead of some of the pretentious and syrupy garbage that passes for music today.

Doesn't get as hot as it should
At first I thought this was a great product. If you only make cheese fondue it is great. The pot is very easy to clean although it could be easier if it were dishwasher safe.The problem I've had with mine is that it doesn't get beyond about 320 degrees. The dial goes up to 400 but even after waiting for 30 minutes for it to heat up, it only got up to 323 degrees and wouldn't go any further. So if you want to use this for oil for a steak fondue it won't do the job well.I know these kinds of appliances have to have a short cord and also a break-away cord but this is ridiculous. Touch the darn thing and the cord falls free. Very frustrating if you have a lot of people trying to use it for fondue. People kept telling me that the cheese was getting "hard" because the cord had fallen off, again. Next time I'd get a pot that had a thermometer built in, don't rely on the heat setting dial.

Bought this to print directly onto printable (hub and non-hub printable) disks. Has worked flawlessly for two years.

That machine is now in the closet because the R200 does just as good a job of printing high quality photographs.

Amazon refuses to take it back because I am disputing the fact that they double billed me for the item. They billed me on my current email address and then again on a very old one for the same item. Now I'm stuck with a useless item that I was billed twice from.Amazon had very poor billing practices, poor customer service. I wouldn't recommend anyone purchasing anything for them. Looking at other reviews they seem to double bill people on a regular basis

Don't use this book alone
I studied this book from beginning to end. There are more than some typos and mistakes even on the answers. I took the exam today, none of the questions were on the test. The material covered in this book is about 60% of what is on the actual exam. Don't use this as your only source.

Egomaniacal author and too many typos
I recently had the experience of seeing John Gray give a talk...and if this guy isn't an ego maniac, I don't know who is. Some of his information is good, but he purports to know far more than he really does. This book has SOME good information for people like myself who are experiencing divorce for the first time, but most of it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. I believe John Gray simplifies emotions and matters of the heart far too much and shouldn't be prescribing such in depth exercises to people with no psychological support, as the repercussions can run deep. I would recommend "Coming Apart: Why relationships end and how to get through the ending of yours" by Daphne Rose Kingma instead.

Overpriced and Under-serviced
This backing pad was very expensive and wore out after only a few uses. I have always had good luck ordering items through Amazon but this one was a total lemon!

A change should be welcome.
I have enjoyed Turnbull's Glasgow series but the characters and their relationship to each other had become a bit stale. A change should be good, but, I would rather he had developed the Glasgow characters a bit more and explored the cliques and conflicts that are likely to develop within such a group, rather than trying to create another scene and cast of characters.

Excellent product
I use the Linksys WRT150N Wireless N Router at home with my PS3 and 2 computers. I use the Linksys WUSB300N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter (the item being reviewed) with my desktop since the router is in a different room and I don't want to run cables. I have a wireless G card for my laptop, but I switch to the USB adapter when I'm not using it on my desktop because it gets a much stronger signal and faster downloads than the card. In short, I love it. Being on a USB cable and having a stand, you can either plug it directly into the computer, or set it a little bit away from the computer for better positioning.

Just what I wanted.
I play in a city band and these sticks work very well for our purpose. These sticks were recommended by my long time music teacher.

Worked five times then died.
This mower worked well, cord is awful, wont stay in mower well......but it only worked 5 times on a very small lawn. It died, but Amazon understood my plight and refunded my purchase price. Amazon is fantastic in regards to customer service. I purchased a fiskar reel mower and love it. nothing to break

NOT as advertised.
Description and packaging indicate this is 100% cotton.It is 100% polyester.I'm keeping it only because it's not worth the hassle of returning and it is after all only an apron.But the rip off pisses me off.First time ever getting beat by a product sold on amazon.

Horrible fun item
The roomba is cool to watch but mine only worked for about 3 minutes and then it died. Pieces started to fall of from the bottom of it on its very first cleaning. The battery would not charge even after being plugged in for days and the customer support was awful. This is really not worth the money. You are better off spending a $100 getting the house professionally cleaned. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS NO STARTS BUT THEY WONT LET YOU.

Wonder of a cd!!!!
This was my first Reba album- I didn't like it then- I was younger, and only liked her bubblegum pop. Now i love it! Especially the Vocals of You Lie! The only sad thing about this cd is that you can hear a tiny hint of her upcoming cd's!:(

Absolutely incredible
I was so happy with Dolly's "Hungry Again," and her return to real country. I like new country -- but now it is just like pop music. Quite a few one-hit wonders. But Dolly Parton, like Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco (two that came to mind), makes an entire album of great music, instead of an album that showcases two hit songs. If you like folk/indie music, I think you will love this bluegrass album. Her cover of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone" gave me chills. My favorite song is definitely "Will He Be Waiting For Me." This is bluegrass, but I definitely like a female singing it. It just mellows it out. Dolly has now put out two great albums and with rumors of her possibly going on tour, I couldn't be happier. I'm 26, have been listening to her since I was little, and have never gotten to see her perform live. But this album, the critics aren't just praising a country hall of famer -- the album deserves every wonderful word.

LESS Functionality isn't worth the money
Although pdf files are very useful in digitizing paper materials, the fact that Adobe crippled its 5.0 version of its Paper Capture (OCR, text recognition) functionality is shameful. When I purchase an upgrade, I expect BETTER functionality, not worse. With 5.0, you can only capture 50 pages of a document - if its longer than 50 pages, you must purchase the Adobe Capture product. With the previous version (4.0x), there was NO limit to the number of pages and no need to waste more money. Do NOT buy this product - go to Ebay and buy somebody's 4.0 version for cheap. (Note: the 4.0 version of paper capture does NOT work with Windows XP and no bug fix is provided so you are screwed if you have XP).

Lalanne's Juicer is Bad
The juicer looks good but that is about it. I was in a hurry when I purchased it but I wished I would have heeded the advice from the bad reviews for this juicer and purchased from a different manufacturer. I've only used it a dozen times and the rim cover broke off - it was glued on to the housing. The machine is poorly built: plastic coating is peeling off; parts are cracking and falling apart - it is all plastic; the motor is very touchy- it shuts down in the middle of the cycle and you have to take it apart to start it up again. Avoid this juicer or you will me very disappointed like I have been. I feel like it going to break down any time even though I have pampered it like a baby. I love drinking fresh juices so I am prepared to spend more money and purchase a better quality juicer. There are much better made juicers on the market!

WAY Overpriced
These are two basic BNC extender cables - Male to Female (Panel Mount on female side). A very quick googling got me a price of $12 a cable, if you can solder then it's probably less than half that. I'm betting for them it's about 600-800% markup over production cost for a product that must have taken a 10 minute phone call to get produced by their supplier - thanks a heaping pile, Sennheiser.

Terrible Sound Quality
I couldn't even listen to the whole concerto, the sound quality was so crackly and poor. I jumped at this download because of the low price and because I love Rachmaninoff, but my mistake was just reading the reviews and not listening to the samples myself. I won't make that mistake again. This recording was so poor that I deleted it from my iTunes library and wrote off the $3 as a loss. Very disappointed.

The Princess likes it
I love this mobile and so does my princess. It has a variety of settings so I can have one light or two lights or no lights on. The music is cute and has a quiet and loud setting. I like that the fish come off easily so my daughter can play with them. I have had it for 9 months now and have not had the globe stick like others mention. I had no trouble putting it together. The only thing is the remote does not work all the time but I don't really use it much so it's not a problem for me. Overall, I am very happy I got this!

So much more then expected
As a picky reader, I was quite hesitant to read this book. My first thought was "isn't this for little kids?"That's also what I said about Harry Potter, which is my favortie book. Ever.But I dismissed the thought and bought the book, read it, and laughed so hard! I could relate to many of the circumstances, well, not about being a *princess*, but this is a book for all teenage girls. It's funny, sad, and perfect for any girl who hates reading. This is a sure way to get your daughter, best friend, or sister to read.Recently, my uncle passed away, and when my feelings became sad and angry, I read this book. And I laughed. And laughed. And laughed.My sister kept asking me to leave the room, I was laughing so hard with this book. It kept me up to all hours, and I'm very eager to read the second book.I beg of you, do *not* pass this book up! It's great, and I'm sure you will love it!

Doesn't hold a candle to his Father's music....
I really wanted to like this, but really couldn't w/exception for "I Dream Pop Gigged w/Us". "I Don't Do the Things I Used To" and "ShellShocked" are okay, I wouldn't consider this blues, though. Songs like "Spit In My Mouth", "Will You Be My Wife" and "Hey Pretty Girl" have no business being labeled even vaguely blues, they're rather quite silly songs and not enjoyable.

Great Tool- Terrible Finish
This tool is great- but the black coating is not. My hands are completely covered in a black, oily substance that is coming off of the tool immediately upon taking it out of the box. It's too bad, because it looks nice, but clearly is not made to withstand even minor use.

Holds a lot, Not so easy to carry
We bought this (at a warehouse store) for hauling a lot of salmon, and it does its job well. It has a nice solid surface, holds a lot of fish (close to 30 red salmon, depending on size), and keeps cool for a long time. Fits nicely in the pickup truck, and the cup holders and measuring units on top are nice, but don't really get used.The only drawback on this is the handles. When carrying it, you have to use two hands on each end if its full, otherwise it tilts easily and could tip and dump everything. If the handles were either toward the top, or swung up like other coolers, it'd be easy to carry with a lower center of gravity. But if you have two people with free hands, it's not too much of an issue. Otherwise, it's a pretty solid cooler and has lasted us a few years and is still in great shape.

I'm not an audiophile
I'm currently in the process of following AJATT. Which means I'm creating an artificial immersion environment in order to learn a foreign language, which means I listen to a lot of my target language, close to 4-5 hours a day with these. These headphones are awesome, extremely comfortable, and very good at blocking out the noise. My head doesn't feel like it's been in a vice-grip after extended use.I'm not an audiophile so I won't pretend to be one, but these are the best headphones that I've ever used. They sound awesome, plenty of bass.They are bit clunky and not that portable, but that's not really their purpose.The cord is huge, thick, and coiled. Very nice if you have to get up and move around the room. It stretches plenty but doesn't get tangled because it's coiled.Not to mention that I notice them being used by professionals everywhere (camera men, sound guys, DJs, Radio talk show hosts).They come with a nice faux-leather bag with a draw-string to transport them.

Love this throw
Pike Street Wrap-Around Comfort Throw, BeigeI have at least 5 of these throws and have given 10 away as appreciated gifts. I wish the price would come back down. They are wonderful, warm, washable, tasteful throws, but it felt magical when I could get one for $19.99, or - be still my heart - $10.99.

What a BUST!!
I bought this for my daughters 3rd birthday. She LOVES to cheer, she has attended the local cheer camp where she learned simple cheers like "Two bits, Four bits.." and to jump around a little. I thought this video would be more of the same, little cheers and maybe this is what the splits looks like etc... but it was nothing of the sort! She learned NOTHING from it and doesn't really like the music. The "Let's dance..." make it seem like the kid will do some of it, but not any more than she does when a good song comes on the radio. This was very much in lines with the Baby Einsteins type videos.

Exceptional Guitar Work
RIP, Rod Price!Wherever you are out there, I would want you to know that you opened the ears of an elementary school kid to the appreciation of guitar-based rock & roll with your work on this album.It was a favorite of mine back then, and it still is today, over 30 years later. There is only one track on the album I no longer enjoy listening to ("Drive Me Home"), but the rest of the songs are pure listening enjoyment.The title track, "Slow Ride," "Terraplane Blues," and "Take It or Leave It" are all perfect. But in my opinion THE highlight of this album is "My Babe," with its stunning 3-verse guitar solo! There are a few Rock n Roll guitar solos you could never hear enough of (like Ritchie Blackmore in "Highway Star" or Kirk Hammett in "To Live is to Die"), and this Rod Price solo is definitely one of them.Other Foghat releases have some good tunes scattered on them, but for quality from start to finish, THIS is the Foghat album you want in your collection.

Good Job Viz
I usually don't make a point to review an item unless I feel really strongly about it. However, with this release I felt it necessary to say how impressed I was with Viz's packaging. Not only did they add in the little extras that the Japanese releases like to sneak in at the end of the credits, they also included one of the nicer VA featurettes I've seen, staring Malie Flanagan-Naruto, Kate Higgins-Sakura, Dave Whittenberg-Kashshi and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn-veteran VA and director. The chibi Naruto that was packaged with the Special Edition was very cute too... now give us a Kakashi and Itachi! OK, and besides all of that, Naruto Shippuden is a much better, more in depth and mature story than it's predecessor. Highly recommended to anyone hesitant because of the (bad) filler laden Nartuo (first series).
