1	Quiet ,dimmed,and smoke filled	barroom would set the atmosphere of this album. Very dynamic, and well balanced recording. From the upbeat, driving "Blues For The West Side", to John Coltrane's "Equinox", there is a taste for everyone here. Ronnie is absolutely brilliant, and this recording shows his honesty and sensitivity to the blues. Not out to emulate, he creates his own voice, and this is a great starter for new fans as well.Also recommend:"Blues Guitar Virtuoso Live In Europe"	positive
1	So Easy!	Saved time & money by ordering on line. No more trips, just to find out the store was out of stock.7	positive
1	Fantastic!	One word, INCREDIBLE! Caught this show last fall live and the blue ray performance was like being back in the third row center once again! Very few bands get better with age however Styx is definately one of them. This was a difinitive performance! The music of Styx is timeless! Being able to experience these two great albums live in their entirety was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we can now relive anytime we want!	positive
1	Woolf's last novel	Between the Acts (BtA) was Woolf's last novel, finished but not yet revised before her death in 1941. It is, like Woolf's other novels, experimental. She takes some of her already established techniques and adds new things. She sets it in the span of a single day (i.e. Mrs Dalloway), depicts and parodies historical events (i.e. Orlando). Woolf centers the action around a village play (a bad play, but that is part of the fun). The social commentary on Britain is there, but BtA is far from the "usual British stuff." In the course of the novel the reader should look at the actors and the audience, drawing parallels to our own daily acting. Woolf includes a number of literary allusions. See if you can find the use of Gerard Manley Hopkins in the narrative, for example. As with Woolf's other writings, plot is not the focus. Even though she died thinking it was unsuitable for publication (she was mistaken), BtA is a fine novel from a master writer.	positive
0	Painful	This book has to be one of the most tedious works of literature ever written. Hawthorne is a great writer, but I don't know how this book made it into that sacred list we call "classics". Perhaps on the merit of his name alone?	negative
1	No more pain!	Got one of these for my wife and me (men's version) because every time we went for a ride after about a half hour it was majorly uncomfortable...We've been riding on these saddles for 2 weeks now and keep noting how it's so much more fun to ride without the 'back pain'!This did the trick for us!	positive
1	A big kid's fantasy	Each time I read this book, I pick up previously missed "words of wisdom", and am transported along with him to all the adventures he describes so intimately, all over the world. Here is a man who went for his dreams, freely admits when he screwed up, and made it in a way we can only imagine. I absolutely loved this book.	positive
1	Pete Fountain really Flows	Pete Fountain's jazz clarinet is always smooth, flowing and wonderful.This CD is no exception. Show tunes and standards are joyfully,soulfully played. This is a nice addition to his other collections.	positive
1	A very good book	The story of Squirrel Nutkin who is a very disrespectful and rude and provocative squirrel who gets taught a very tough lesson. Learning is not alway painless. Learning is not always pleasurable or fun. This is a fact of life.	positive
1	exactly!	My husband has been playing out the Script almost exactly! We just passed the bomb dropping one month and he already brought a "new" gal to met the kids. The creep! The authors call the shots just exactly as they get fired!	positive
1	Excellent story	This is one of my favorite all-time movies. Hugh Grant is at his best in this story "about a boy" as well as the whole movie being perfectly cast. Highly recommend this to anyone of any age.	positive
1	good book for beginner, like me	Although not every page of material is useful for me, it is a good and easy book to learn html. Author also has her own opinion from time to time. CSS is popular and the mainstream, yet traditional style tags are still useful.Also, I won't buy it if it isn't a good book which got tons of good reviews already, so don't need to say more.One thing I am not aware of before is, for the input data, we will need php to process the data, which is another big topic. I am quite disappointed at this, since I do want to play with input data on site.	positive
1	LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!	I BOUGHT 2 DIFFERET ONESS OF THESE TO PUT EXTRA CLOTHES IN AND THEY ARE SO CUTE AND THEY KEEP A LOT OT THINGS IN THEM I REALLY LIKE THEM WOULD BUY AGAIN	positive
1	Anxiously Waiting	My sons love this show! I have every episode saved on the DVR but would love to have it on dvd for when we travel. Can't wait!	positive
0	Buy only if you can't wait for an official release	I was appalled that these 1960's TV cuts were released to DVD. When I bought this set, I was hoping for the original Columbia releases but no such luck. I suppose these are better than nothing, but barely. When (or if) Columbia puts out an offical release of these great films, I will promptly throw this set in the garbage where it belongs. Why these films were butchered in the first place remains a 40 year old mystery to me. And that opening theme song they came up with is like listening to fingernails on a blackboard! Very disapointing!	negative
0	misleading information	I ordered this book and paid $7.95 plus two day shipping for a total of $26.95. When the book was received I discovered it was a small pocket version of the book. I think the listed information should have made it clear that this was not the full version of the book. I could have bought the full version of the 3 hour diet locally for $12.95. I feal the advertising on the web site for this book it totally misleading. Who would know that this, three hour diet on the go book, was just a small condensed version with very little information. And to think I paid $26.95 for this!	negative
0	DRM = Purchase protection	I can personally verify that DRM has protected Spore from being purchased by me. I can tell you that I was looking forward to buying a copy of spore, I have been following it's development for almost two years now. But since of this DRM BS I won't, for now at least. I know I could get it DRM free on piratebay but I won't do that either. Maybe I'll buy it for $9.95 in a year or so.	negative
0	Natural Cures - NOT!	This book is nothing but a big advertisement. There is virtually no information on natural cures, just telling you to log on to his web cite - for $10 per month - to get information that is readily available for FREE.If you spend your money on this book, you will likely want it back after you read it.	negative
1	Very Elegant	Such afforable elegance. The picture does not do them justice. I continue to get compliments about these gorgeous drop earings. If you are on the fence about buying these earings, they are a definite "do".	positive
1	Charles Bronson fan	If a certain movie star has an appeal, you tend to enjoy the movie more. I perticularly enjoyed this movie which isnt even available in NZ. Boxing is something I learnt once and when people fight I understand whats going through their minds. Its a shame they didnt include James Coburns Wing chun style Kung fu abilities in the movie. Maybe him fighting in an alley against thugs or what-not? James Coburn was a student of Bruce Lees once. No one utilised that fact?But the action scenes are great,you just cant help admire what goes into making combat-to-combat action sequences in movies. Some stars really pull it off.	positive
0	Not the best drive	I thought that all hard drives would be created equal but I was wrong. This drive comes with a cord with a single USB plug but this did not work in my laptop since laptop USB drives block hard drives such as this since they take in too much energy from a single port. The only solution is a cord with two USB plugs that split the energy going from the laptop to the drive. I called Western Digital and they suggested that they could send such a double-USB cord free-of-charge in several business days.Instead of saying yes, I returned this drive and bought a similar one made by Seagate. The Seagate drive already came packaged with a double-USB cord.	negative
1	AIRPLANE!	This is the film that launched the series of spoofs about everything!These guys were brilliant in this and the following series.Leslie Nielsen got a new lease on his career and life!	positive
0	ok	it's okay i bought this off of a youtube review lets just say not everyone has the same skin type	negative
1	Decent camera	I've had this camera since October 2003, and I haven't had any significant problems with it. I have experienced the memory card errors as previously described, but only twice, and the errors were not fatal. As soon as I went on my computer and deleted the faulty photo, I could resume my photo-taking. I use my camera on a fairly regular basis - perhaps twice or three times a week. I haven't had any problems connecting it to the computer via USB cable. I chose Canon because their colors are more vibrant than those of other camera manufacturers. I would definitely recommend this camera for casual use.	positive
0	disappointing	This is one of those terribly frustrating products. The first and perhaps the second time you put it up, you are ecstatic with just how well it works. Its fast and easy to put up and perfectly fits a picnic table with room to spare! What could be wrong? Well; unfortunately the metal poles included as part of the 'insta-clip' design are not very durable. On about the third use, they will have bent into some weird shape and will inevitably bend in half when you put the strain of the canopy on them. The poles appear to be made from soft steel and their is just no fixing this. The product would be a 5-star if it only the poles where made from something more durable.	negative
0	Not Scary	This book basically stinks. I'm older now but some goosebumps books were actually scary. He didn't put enough detail in this book to make it scary.Although this book is for little kids the way R.L. Stine wrote it was very juvenille. Why can't he come up with something gory?blood?guts? anything other than some snarling beast? He needs to put vicious murders in his stories even if them little guys be kids. More detail on the scary parts R.L.! Come up with something original please	negative
0	Great! ..for awhile.	It worked flawlessly for about 6 months, but now it just keeps ejecting the DVD's over and over. At first it was just once in awhile, now it's all the time. Too bad. I really liked it, but now it is just a cup holder!	negative
1	not as good as no name face, but still good	i didn't think that this was better than no name face, but its pretty close. I really like all there songs on this cd, but the music or the beat kinda was different from the old cd. It is still good though	positive
0	It's dead, Jim	I have had this scale for about 4 months. It worked fine the few times I used it, but last night I went to use it and it has given up the ghost. I swapped batteries and still nothing. The connection for the 9v battery is VERY loose, and even after crimping and holding it tight it didn't get any juice. Not happy so I will order a different brand and hope it does better. I do not abuse or heavily use my kitchen gadgets, so maybe I just got a lemon.	negative
1	A book every wife and mother should read	This lovely, yet powerful book, took me by surprise. I honestly expected the book to read like Dr. Phil's books, but I was totally wrong. Robin's honesty is refreshing. And, although she speaks about her own good and not so good experiences as a daughter, wife and mother, many will identify with her as I did. I believe Robin's story serves to remind us (women) to love ourselves first so we can love our children and husbands even better.	positive
0	Save your money	Whatever you do... do NOT buy QUIETUS either. THE COMPANY "PREVAL" IS A RIP OFF! SAVE YOUR MONEY for this product. It is probably just a "sugar pill" but you can bet it won't work! The worse part will be when you call for an RMA # to return it. First they will try and string you out past your 30 day guarantee period. Telling you you need to take it for that length of time. Then they will offer you a 50% refund of your purchase price or tell you you'll have to wait up to 60 days for a refund. They you have to pay to ship it back with tracking. Stay away from this rip off company. I will let XM advertising know they should drop them.	negative
1	Great Service!	The seller was quick to ship this keyboard out. The item was exactly as described and shown in pictures. The item worked perfectly.	positive
0	Great Book, Bad Edition	This is my first and my last kindle edition purchase. The book was traslated without any care about mathematical notations. The paper edition is fine, kindle edition is very very bad.	negative
1	Wonderful product	It was a pleasure to receive this product quickly in the mail! I'm extremely pleased with the transaction and with the hair dryer! Thank you.	positive
0	Just like Suzanne's Diary...	I really liked Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, so I thought I'd check this out. I didn't think it was worth my time. The books seemed exactly alike - especially the tone of the character's writing style (Suzanne vs. Sam). It seemed clear that since Suzanne's Diary did so well, the author decided to write a book exactly like it. It was an incredibly predictable love story.	negative
1	not a review but a clarification	Some info for all the folks who think of Audio-Technica as an unknown company; they've been in the audio business longer than Bose and were making highly rated headphones back in the 60's. I still use my Pro 4/AA 's from that period. I used to sell hifi back then and A-T was an industry leader. Also well known for turntable cartridges.Based on what I've read here, I think I'm getting the A-T's for my coast-to-coast flight. I'll post a real review after the fact.(btw- I decided to give this non-review a score with a rating near the going average so it would -hopefully- not skew the average one way or another)	positive
0	I don't get it and was hard to swallow	This was sooo boring and the worst book I have ever read. I really had a hard time getting through this book. It dragged, went back and forth, & bounced around. I really don't understand why this was well received by some but I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions.	negative
0	WHY	WHY FOXY WHY I LOVED THE FIRST ALBUM. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ONE, I WILL GIVE HER PROPS ON JOINTS LIKE "4-5-6", "RIDE", AND "DOG & A FOX" BUT I THINK THATS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ARTIST THAT FEATURED IN THE SONGS, THE REST OF SOUNDS LIKE BULL _ _* _* _ . WHY IS SHE SOUNDING JUST LIKE LITTLE KIM THEN HAVE THE NERVE AND MAKE MENTION OF HER IN THE SONG "MY LIFE" AND WHY IS SHE RAPPIN ABOUT NOTHING BUT WHAT WHIP SHE ROLLIN, THE ICE ON HER WRIST, AND DOLCE GABBANA, BUT ONLY LANDING A CONTRACT W/ CALVIN KLIEN WHOM SHE NEVER MENTIONS. AND WHY DOES SHE SPEAK ON BEING HALF PHILAPENO, AND HER ALBUM IS TITLED CHYNA DOLL, FOXY IS DOING TOO MUCH. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THE OLD FOXY BACK. WHY.	negative
1	Excellent Made for TV movie	The Night Stalker is one heck of a movie. It should have been released in theaters.The Night Strangler isn't bad, but just doesn't live up to the original feature.If you're a fan of vampires and/or X-files, you should see this.	positive
0	POOR QUALITY VIDEO AND AUDIO	THE DVD WAS OF POOR QUALITY AND WOULD NOT PLAY ONTHREE DIFFERENT DVD PLAYERS. IT JUMPED, SKIPPED, ANDI COULD NOT WATCH BUT A SMALL PORTION. THE AUDIO WASTERRIBLE. VERY POOR. I DIDN'T GIVE MUCH FOR IT, SOIT WASN'T WORTH RETURNING. - KA	negative
0	GENUINE PLASTIC JUNK	IT LASTED 2 YEARS IN OUR NEW RV THEN DOOR FELL OFF DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC SCREW CONNECTORS, PROBLEM IS THE SIZE IS ABOUT 12 INCHES TALL AND CANT FIND REPLACEMENT, SO DRILLED AND BOLTED DOOR, I CALLED SHARP AND WAS SENT TO REPAIRSHOPS THAT NO LONGER EXISTED, A REAL HASSLE WHEN IT HAPPENS 1,000 MILES FROM HOME. ONE STAR MEANS IT COOKS GOOD EXCEPT FOR POPCORN AND WHEN GRILLING STEAKS IT VENTS GREASE INTO INNER COMPARTMENT FOR A REAL MESS WHEN I PULLED IT OUT, THIS IS 2010? WHAT HAPPENED TO QUALITY CONTROL? DOTTI	negative
1	The Thrill (Price) of Reckless Independence	Follow the compelling story of Chris McCandless as chronicled by Jon Krakauer. Both men seemed at once sensitive and at odds with phoney, stiff, sanitized society. Both men ran to find the thrill of independence and self-sufficiency in the wilds of nature. Both seem to find what they are looking for. McCandless finds it and never lives to tell about it. His story is compassionately related by Krakauer, who seems more kin than journalist. A stunning, captivating true story, excellently told.	positive
0	LIFE SPAN OF SIX MONTHS	I bought a refurbished vaio on line. It lasted six months, with a 90 day warranty. SONY's telephone help is worthless, and to get any tech help costs [money] just to talk to one of their people. I won't buy another Sony, ever.	negative
1	OK Tank for the price	If your are looking for a cotton tank, than this is NOT it. This tank is a blend of nylon and lycra and would be best worn underneath another shirt or sweater. Fit was ok but length seemed a little short. Although it was not what I expected, I paid less than $4 so I can't complain.	positive
1	VERY GOOD QUALITY CAT5	I have one of these going from my router to my computer, I have a small apartment and the wire travels right in front of my front door, so people are always stepping on it on their way out or in.Not a dent on the wire at all.The latches on them are GREAT, real good quality.	positive
0	It makes me see spots!	The light is very attractive looking and does light the screen effectively, but the glare is horrible! All I can see is the light's reflection in the screen...thus making that area of the screen unviewable. Although it's better than playing in a dark room, this light has serious drawbacks. The light is bendable and can be moved to the edges of the screen, but once the reflection is gone from the screen the other edge of the screen is too dark to see. You can't angle it to avoid the glare. What they REALLY need is two lights...one for each side. This one single light is too focused on a small area. It does look pretty cool though.	negative
1	Just wonderful...juzz wonderful	It's one of those few CDs that I can listen thru the WHOLE CD without stopping....especially that hidden track at the end of the CD. My advice: BUY IT!!	positive
1	A Must Read Book For Any Adult or Child of Divorce	If I were to read only one book in the whole world, I wouldchoose "Mom and Dad Don't Live Together Anymore".I was a teenager when my parents divorced, and I feltdevestated, like my heart was being ripped in half. I firstread this book when I was in my late twenties. I feltso much healing from reading this book, the words on thepage allowed me to cry and know that it was o.k. Thentowards the end of the book the author gives you apositive way to think and act about your feelings.This book is truely inspirational and has changed my life	positive
0	Lost suction over the course of one year	At first, we loved this vac. However, it gradually lost suction. The tools are stored in an awkward position on the unit. Some fall off during use. It was a disappointment overall. Ready for a replacement.	negative
0	Pretentious, overwritten, overpriced	Wannabe Faulkner, wannabe Cormac, endless questing for the perfect metaphor--the writing is total drudgery. And the "gutsy" storyline is handled with the same old wink-wink nudge-nudge. Lowest rating.	negative
1	A great summer read.	This book is a great summer read. The intriguing plot and surprise ending will not disappoint. One of the best mysteries I've read. I highly recommend this book for mystery lovers.	positive
0	Worst Norton Ever!	Not only did not version of Norton Internet Security refuse to install on my brand new, top of the line PC... It made the system crash... I had to wipe the computer after my attempt to install... Horrible Buy!!! I have been a loyal Norton customer for years and they just lost me... I plan on trying a different brand from now on...	negative
0	I shouldn't have bothered!	Three years ago, I bought this book as a then-novice developer of JDE OneWorld, after several years of JDE World development experience. In hindsight, I can honestly say this book was not worth buying. In fact, whenever I see someone with it, I automatically assume they don't know anything. Whenever I would look up information on how to do something, it would only give the most rudimentary instructions; it became quite frustrating in it's lack of information. I grew out of this book in about 3 months, and ended up teaching myself, since there was a lack of published information at the time. Since then, I've asked other developers their opinion on this book, and the consensus is that it is totally lacking in detail. It is now obvious to me that the authors were no experts!!	negative
1	Greeeat!	This perfume smells amazing as everyone else has said. I get lots of compliments and my husband loves this fragrance. The bottle is beautiful and BIG! you get alot for the price so its def worth it! :) try the butter that goes with it.	positive
0	To fragile	I received two of these and one was broken during shipment. I got them replaced. I received two more and one broke within a week, and the other broke four weeks later. EXTREMELY fragile, the lightest bump on hard object will brake these glasses.	negative
0	This is NOT for kids, it's REALLY sick	This is the WORST thing I've ever seen, I'm 14 and trust me YOU DON'T want to see this unless, your a guy... But then also guys there is a warning in here for you also, IT'S not for people into Fushigi Yugi, Sailor Moon, No Need For Tenchi/Tenchi Muyo, Gundom Wing, Outlaw Star, Card Captors/Card Captor Sakura, NGE, and any type of Anime that is WAY romantic, action packed, a thriller, a tear jearker, or a drop dead funny show/movie/whatever! I SOOOOO give this a BIG FAT 0 rating, they course almost NON stop, there is A LOT of blood and other things I'm not going to mention incase kids are reading this! I saw this at my friends, adn HATED it! It's her older brothers, and now we understand WHY he told us not to watch it with him.. heh heh ^-^' (Not my idea!)	negative
1	Spandau Ballet at the height of their success!	This DVD captures a great 80's band at their best. This concert, in support of the album Through the Barricades, shows what a great live band Spandau Ballet is. The sound quality is excellent, and it is obvious that the band is having fun on stage, especially with To Cut a Long Story Short, Revenge for Love and Fight for Ourselves.The extras include videos for songs from Through the Barricades and it's follow up, Heart Like a Sky. A documentary of the making of the video Fight for Ourselves is good also. This DVD was a project of Gary Kemp and it is obvious that he put some work into it. A definite must have for a fan of 80's music.	positive
1	Horses LOVE Peppermint Treats !	I have given these treats to our Horses for years. I have tried other brands & flavors but always come back to Peppermint Horse Treats. Our horses want nothing else. Forget to give them Peppermint Treats & try to leave the stable, the horses will remind you. You won't go wrong. We purchase the 5 pound bags by the case.	positive
1	Jerry's best - Excellent transfer	You have all seen the movie so I will not comment on that. But I think the video of the DVD version is excellent. Detail is excellent for the year this movie was made on my widescreen TV. Unless you have seen this in the theater, you probably have never seen this in widescreen. I can recommend highly.	positive
0	Boring	The reason I read a book is to enjoy it. Chainfire is a slow pace, nothing happening story. It should have been made a chapter or two in one of the other books. It's slow pace is dragged out to a thick book of many pages.	negative
0	Poor design and manufacture	Item is of very poor design and manufacture quality.Specifically, the cap must be removed to remove the reservoir. The check valve on the reservoir leaks when you insert it into the bowl. The item needs to be cleaned frequently but the pump is directly connected to the cord so you must unplug the whole thing and cart it to the sink. The filter for the pump does not trap cat hair, what is the point? Worst of all the pump just died after 6 months and they want more $14.95 plus shipping for a replacement, that is more than 1/2 of what the whole think costs.You can find a lot better product than this, keep looking!	negative
1	This Is What You Need To Know	I have had this book for three years and it is by far the most valuable resource on fishing in California that I own. Locations by region, maps, directions, and discussion of some incredibly obscure spots I never knew existed. The first thing I do when planning a fishing trip with the fellas is open this book and start exploring the hundreds and hundreds of rivers and lakes Tom outlines in detail. We've taken 4 or 5 trips using this book and all have been great. Directions are concise, accessability, facilities and fees are discussed, lures, tackle, and techniques for various locales along with some very entertaining stories make this one of my favorite books in the library.	positive
1	Better than I anticipated	It turned out that I really liked this movie. I found it more interesting and funny than the Tobey Maguire movies. The cast is great and the action is pretty cool. It gets slow in the middle.	positive
0	more feminist propaganda	if this is like her other books I would urge readers not to pick this up. Judy Mann is a highly biased writer, who sees only one perspective, her own.	negative
1	Jim Carry	I would recommend the book Jim Carrey to anyone. The book is a little slow at the start because the authordwindles on Carrey's childhood and him struggle to fame, a little to much. but after that the book picks up quickly. Toward the and the book goes very fast and is exciting. The book ends with a quote drom Jim Carrey himself. "Failure taught me that failure isn't the end, unless you give up." I think that the book Jim Carrey is one of the best biography I have read. There is a lot of detail, I think that that is what makes the book so good. I recommed the book to anyone who is intersted in Jim Carrey.	positive
0	I just didn't get it.....	I didn't like the character Grant, nor did I particularly feel captivated by his perception of events. I found him to be very troubled, abusive, especially towards his students, and apathetic towards the whole situation. I didn't like the book. It just seemed strange to me that an entire book could be written about a remark made in a courtroom. Pass the salt.	negative
1	Best purchase I've made in a long time	Quick shipment, exactly what I wanted! This book is really comprehensive and user friendly.	positive
0	PASS!	this was the slowest, most boring book I've picked up in awhile. Even after the first couple hundred pages that everyone says is the bad part, it still wasn't really engaging....just less intolerable.	negative
1	Tip Drill is off the meter!!	Man, this album straight slap. I like almost every song but my favorite is tip drill. The beat on that song is crazy nice. Plus, have you ever seen the video on BET's UNCUT. I love that video, it is great. Anyway, the album is worth listening to, give it a couple of tries and I guarantee you'll like it.	positive
0	dissapointed	greapt chopper, other than 5 mins outta the box the roters broke, i reccomend getting at least 10 extra sets	negative
0	Never again	I have read several of Patrica Cornwells novels but never again . I have above average intelligence and I found Predator to be the most confusing , slapped together , inconsistant , sad novel I have ever read . I wonder if anyone else felt this way . By the end I was still not sure who was who . She had so many insignificant people in it that she spent pages on that you couldnt figure out why they were even in the book . Gore just for the sake of gore and the end was so pathetic it seemed like she just got tired in the last few pages and threw an ending together . Plus I may be hallucinating but I was sure Benton was killed in an earlier book . Something about his face being removed ... yuck . Hope this saves someone else from wasting their money . Happier reading folks .	negative
0	Don't Buy it Until You've Read More Reviews!	Anyone who is a long-time fan of John Irving will be very disappointed in his latest work. I have read about 4 chapters and cannot believe this was written by the same person who gave us such masterpieces as "A Prayer for Owen Meany", "The Cider House Rules" and "A Widow for One Year." The character development is poor and the language less than artful and often amateurish. What started out as a brilliant way to demonstrate what would cause someone to change his/her life has been ruined by a sophmoric attempt at writing. Did he use a ghost writer?	negative
1	Unconventional pre-wedding activities	Lee McKinney is preparing for her wedding to her boyfriend Joe. As a study in contrasts, Lee's mother balks at the thought of coming from her Dallas home for the Warner Pier, Michigan, wedding ceremony while Joe's mother wants to take over the whole reception. While trying to plan the wedding and keep the mothers in check, Lee discovers some secrets which her mother has kept from her. Murder and kidnapping occur and Lee is challenged to find the perpetrators and keep her mother safe. In between these activities, she helps her Aunt Nettie at the chocolate shop and continues her wedding plans. Once again JoAnna Carl stirs up an interesting mystery with chocolate as a central theme. As a former Michigander, I am delighted with her descriptions of Warner Pier, a fictional town which has several real-life counterparts along Lake Michigan.	positive
1	Beautiful	I ordered this anklet for my December wedding and it's beautiful. I'm very pleased with the product.I'm definitely going to be flashing the ankle around. LOL	positive
1	If you're in ATA, this book is VERY helpful	From philosophy to blocks to strikes to forms, this book provides more detail than most do-jahngs provide. It's also helpful as a parent that wants to assist my young son as he is learning. Use these to study between classes and you - and your child - will get more out of class. I plan on buying all nine volumes as we progress through the ranks.A word of caution - make sure you buy the correct volume for the corresponding belt. Volume Nine is for white belt, eight is for orange, seven is yellow, and so on. Also, there are two publication dates for many of these books: 198x and 199x. Be sure to get the new one.	positive
0	nothing happened!	Just read the last chapter and you'll be ready for the next book. Definately don't get this as a hardcover. It was VERY boring.	negative
0	Quality not up to Radio Flyer image	I bought this wagon a year ago for my husband's birthday. To be used for hauling our grandson around the neighborhood and an occasional bag of garden soil. While the structure has held up, the finish on the wood slats has not. Within a month, and this was in July, the paint had started peeling. I have now sanded the sides down as I did not want to have my grandson sitting among paint chips.	negative
0	Works too good!	I needed to take off old vinyl stickers on a used vehicle I had purchased and decided to buy this product after reading great reviews for it. I had tried chemicals and scrapers and they weren't enough.When I received it, I immediately put it on a cordless drill and went to work. To my horror, not only was it taking off the stickers, it took the paint off as well! I tried to find the fine line of just managing to take the stickers off and leaving the paint untouched, but that was impossible. The wheel is basically just a big rubber eraser.I don't know how everyone else managed to take off stripes and stickers while leaving the paint unharmed underneath.

1	Two years later it is still a favorite!	Got this for my five year old last Christmas. The object to the game is to get to the finish line and win the money bag. FANSTASTIC for teaching about money while having fun. The game is simple to understand and teach. I put the coins in a Ziploc bag as it is just a matter of time before theY part company with the box.STILL FANTASTIC TWO YEARS LATER - My daughter is now seven and we have tweaked the game to make it more challenging (i.e. not taking the change out until you top one dollar so you have to keep a running total in your head). She still loves this game and is great with money. We got our money's worth out and then some out of Money Bags.	positive
1	clever, whimsical	I had never even heard of Stephan Leacock, but I read about his writings and wanted to read him for myself.Picture yourself in the office of The Great Detective:"At the same moment there was a slight scratching at the door. A visitor entered. He crawled stealthily on his hands and knees. A hearthrug thrown over his head and shoulders disguised his identity. He crawled to the middle of the room. Then he rose.Great Heavens! It was the Prime Minister of England."You!" said the detective."Me," said the Prime Minister.I have truly found a kindred spirit, who makes me giggle and laugh out loud at his silly inventiveness. My only problem with this book is that it is really a brief series of short vignettes. I want MORE!	positive

1	A Man for all seasons	A timeless classic in which a little history and a little drama come together in a clean yet realistic way.

Great show, it's no wonder it won a best reward.	positive
1	Some of the Best I've Heard of Late	This is one of those albums that is in relatively regular rotation in my stereo. It does for youthful aggression/optimism what Beck's Sea Change did for depression - legitimates it. And it feels good. Once you know the lyrics, or even before you do, you'll be hard pressed to not sing along.A few lyrical highlights stick out in particular, such as the chorus from Relative Ways:"It's OKI'm a SaintI forgaveYour mistakes."All of the lines are sung with an enthusiasm that seems to transmit that, unlike what so many bands suggest, the existentialist crises that youth face aren't just acceptable -- they're fun.	positive
1	Ukrainian Tenor in later life	Many of these are from recordings made when this fabulous Ukrainian tenor was old. The Russians worked him well into his 90s. But what a voice. Even though these are from his later life, they are better than nothing. This voice is definitely one of a kind, with emotion so involving that it often draws tears to listeners' eyes. People who have only heard this recording of his voice should get earlier examples. As a younger man Kozlovsky sang with the most incredibly bel canto line squeezing every bit of meaning from the words. When I recently asked a very famous modern Russian baritone what he thought of Kozlovsky's voice, he said he did not like it. As a trained singer, I pressed him to explain further and he just muttered, "He sings in the old way." Whatever the old way is, I want it. It has passion and subtle nuances of feeling, quite different from some present-day singers' tendency to "bellow" while trying to demonstrate drama.	positive

1	What a story!	Starhawk's story grabbed me from the first page, walked me all over a futuristic and troubled West Coast where I sat quietly overhearing many private conversations, left me running from some not-so-nice and entirely believable self serving oligarchs, had me wanting to take the bullet for a particularly sympathetic character, and took me to an entirely unexpected finish. Adventure, sex, politics, personal awakening and reclamation of personal power, religion, spirituality, danger, forgiveness. It's all in here.	positive

0	Too many chase/fight scenes for my taste	Lots of "cool" looking scenes and mystery in the beginning, but it was drawn out too long.

0	Skip it	First off let me save you some money. I wish someone would have told me this. This DVD and the How to make a Haunted House DVD are the same DVD. The only difference is the title. I bought both thinking I was getting 2 different DVDs.Now about the DVD. It is not all bad. But it is very very basic. If you have no idea what you are doing this may help you. But if you have ever done a haunted house before then this will be too basic for you.Skip it and the other one.A much better buy is Xtreme Haunted Home Make-Over. This is a good buy and cheap.	negative
1	K&K's pack 'n play	great addition to twin must have's, ESPECIALLY when you're first home from the hospital. my twins were preemie and not able to go into a swing or bouncer straight home from the hospital. having this in the living room has been a lifesaver. i also have a 4 year old, 3 year, and 2 year old, and this has been super easy to set the twins in when one of my other little bugs need me in a hurry. the only down fall is that it dips in the middle, causing them to roll toward the divider (a little nerve racking when your babies can't push themselves away from it . . . ). fortunately, you can lift the "mattress" and slip a couple blankets - folded flat and square - under the middle, or place their heads on the outer side so that their feet are at the divider.Good Luck!!!	positive

Quiet ,dimmed,and smoke filled

barroom would set the atmosphere of this album. Very dynamic, and well balanced recording. From the upbeat, driving "Blues For The West Side", to John Coltrane's "Equinox", there is a taste for everyone here. Ronnie is absolutely brilliant, and this recording shows his honesty and sensitivity to the blues. Not out to emulate, he creates his own voice, and this is a great starter for new fans as well.Also recommend:"Blues Guitar Virtuoso Live In Europe"

Woolf's last novel

Between the Acts (BtA) was Woolf's last novel, finished but not yet revised before her death in 1941. It is, like Woolf's other novels, experimental. She takes some of her already established techniques and adds new things. She sets it in the span of a single day (i.e. Mrs Dalloway), depicts and parodies historical events (i.e. Orlando). Woolf centers the action around a village play (a bad play, but that is part of the fun). The social commentary on Britain is there, but BtA is far from the "usual British stuff." In the course of the novel the reader should look at the actors and the audience, drawing parallels to our own daily acting. Woolf includes a number of literary allusions. See if you can find the use of Gerard Manley Hopkins in the narrative, for example. As with Woolf's other writings, plot is not the focus. Even though she died thinking it was unsuitable for publication (she was mistaken), BtA is a fine novel from a master writer.

Buy only if you can't wait for an official release

I was appalled that these 1960's TV cuts were released to DVD. When I bought this set, I was hoping for the original Columbia releases but no such luck. I suppose these are better than nothing, but barely. When (or if) Columbia puts out an offical release of these great films, I will promptly throw this set in the garbage where it belongs. Why these films were butchered in the first place remains a 40 year old mystery to me. And that opening theme song they came up with is like listening to fingernails on a blackboard! Very disapointing!

misleading information

I ordered this book and paid $7.95 plus two day shipping for a total of $26.95. When the book was received I discovered it was a small pocket version of the book. I think the listed information should have made it clear that this was not the full version of the book. I could have bought the full version of the 3 hour diet locally for $12.95. I feal the advertising on the web site for this book it totally misleading. Who would know that this, three hour diet on the go book, was just a small condensed version with very little information. And to think I paid $26.95 for this!

Charles Bronson fan

If a certain movie star has an appeal, you tend to enjoy the movie more. I perticularly enjoyed this movie which isnt even available in NZ. Boxing is something I learnt once and when people fight I understand whats going through their minds. Its a shame they didnt include James Coburns Wing chun style Kung fu abilities in the movie. Maybe him fighting in an alley against thugs or what-not? James Coburn was a student of Bruce Lees once. No one utilised that fact?But the action scenes are great,you just cant help admire what goes into making combat-to-combat action sequences in movies. Some stars really pull it off.

Not the best drive

I thought that all hard drives would be created equal but I was wrong. This drive comes with a cord with a single USB plug but this did not work in my laptop since laptop USB drives block hard drives such as this since they take in too much energy from a single port. The only solution is a cord with two USB plugs that split the energy going from the laptop to the drive. I called Western Digital and they suggested that they could send such a double-USB cord free-of-charge in several business days.Instead of saying yes, I returned this drive and bought a similar one made by Seagate. The Seagate drive already came packaged with a double-USB cord.

Decent camera

I've had this camera since October 2003, and I haven't had any significant problems with it. I have experienced the memory card errors as previously described, but only twice, and the errors were not fatal. As soon as I went on my computer and deleted the faulty photo, I could resume my photo-taking. I use my camera on a fairly regular basis - perhaps twice or three times a week. I haven't had any problems connecting it to the computer via USB cable. I chose Canon because their colors are more vibrant than those of other camera manufacturers. I would definitely recommend this camera for casual use.

disappointing

This is one of those terribly frustrating products. The first and perhaps the second time you put it up, you are ecstatic with just how well it works. Its fast and easy to put up and perfectly fits a picnic table with room to spare! What could be wrong? Well; unfortunately the metal poles included as part of the 'insta-clip' design are not very durable. On about the third use, they will have bent into some weird shape and will inevitably bend in half when you put the strain of the canopy on them. The poles appear to be made from soft steel and their is just no fixing this. The product would be a 5-star if it only the poles where made from something more durable.

He needs to put vicious murders in his stories even if them little guys be kids. More detail on the scary parts R.L.! Come up with something original please

I have had this scale for about 4 months. It worked fine the few times I used it, but last night I went to use it and it has given up the ghost. I swapped batteries and still nothing. The connection for the 9v battery is VERY loose, and even after crimping and holding it tight it didn't get any juice. Not happy so I will order a different brand and hope it does better. I do not abuse or heavily use my kitchen gadgets, so maybe I just got a lemon.

A book every wife and mother should read

This lovely, yet powerful book, took me by surprise. I honestly expected the book to read like Dr. Phil's books, but I was totally wrong. Robin's honesty is refreshing. And, although she speaks about her own good and not so good experiences as a daughter, wife and mother, many will identify with her as I did. I believe Robin's story serves to remind us (women) to love ourselves first so we can love our children and husbands even better.

Save your money

Whatever you do... do NOT buy QUIETUS either. THE COMPANY "PREVAL" IS A RIP OFF! SAVE YOUR MONEY for this product. It is probably just a "sugar pill" but you can bet it won't work! The worse part will be when you call for an RMA # to return it. First they will try and string you out past your 30 day guarantee period. Telling you you need to take it for that length of time. Then they will offer you a 50% refund of your purchase price or tell you you'll have to wait up to 60 days for a refund. They you have to pay to ship it back with tracking. Stay away from this rip off company. I will let XM advertising know they should drop them.

I really liked Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, so I thought I'd check this out. I didn't think it was worth my time. The books seemed exactly alike - especially the tone of the character's writing style (Suzanne vs. Sam). It seemed clear that since Suzanne's Diary did so well, the author decided to write a book exactly like it. It was an incredibly predictable love story.

not a review but a clarification

Some info for all the folks who think of Audio-Technica as an unknown company; they've been in the audio business longer than Bose and were making highly rated headphones back in the 60's. I still use my Pro 4/AA 's from that period. I used to sell hifi back then and A-T was an industry leader. Also well known for turntable cartridges.Based on what I've read here, I think I'm getting the A-T's for my coast-to-coast flight. I'll post a real review after the fact.(btw- I decided to give this non-review a score with a rating near the going average so it would -hopefully- not skew the average one way or another)

The Thrill (Price) of Reckless Independence

Follow the compelling story of Chris McCandless as chronicled by Jon Krakauer. Both men seemed at once sensitive and at odds with phoney, stiff, sanitized society. Both men ran to find the thrill of independence and self-sufficiency in the wilds of nature. Both seem to find what they are looking for. McCandless finds it and never lives to tell about it. His story is compassionately related by Krakauer, who seems more kin than journalist. A stunning, captivating true story, excellently told.

It makes me see spots!

The light is very attractive looking and does light the screen effectively, but the glare is horrible! All I can see is the light's reflection in the screen...thus making that area of the screen unviewable. Although it's better than playing in a dark room, this light has serious drawbacks. The light is bendable and can be moved to the edges of the screen, but once the reflection is gone from the screen the other edge of the screen is too dark to see. You can't angle it to avoid the glare. What they REALLY need is two lights...one for each side. This one single light is too focused on a small area. It does look pretty cool though.

I shouldn't have bothered!

Three years ago, I bought this book as a then-novice developer of JDE OneWorld, after several years of JDE World development experience. In hindsight, I can honestly say this book was not worth buying. In fact, whenever I see someone with it, I automatically assume they don't know anything. Whenever I would look up information on how to do something, it would only give the most rudimentary instructions; it became quite frustrating in it's lack of information. I grew out of this book in about 3 months, and ended up teaching myself, since there was a lack of published information at the time. Since then, I've asked other developers their opinion on this book, and the consensus is that it is totally lacking in detail. It is now obvious to me that the authors were no experts!!

Spandau Ballet at the height of their success!

This DVD captures a great 80's band at their best. This concert, in support of the album Through the Barricades, shows what a great live band Spandau Ballet is. The sound quality is excellent, and it is obvious that the band is having fun on stage, especially with To Cut a Long Story Short, Revenge for Love and Fight for Ourselves.The extras include videos for songs from Through the Barricades and it's follow up, Heart Like a Sky. A documentary of the making of the video Fight for Ourselves is good also. This DVD was a project of Gary Kemp and it is obvious that he put some work into it. A definite must have for a fan of 80's music.

Horses LOVE Peppermint Treats !

I have given these treats to our Horses for years. I have tried other brands & flavors but always come back to Peppermint Horse Treats. Our horses want nothing else. Forget to give them Peppermint Treats & try to leave the stable, the horses will remind you. You won't go wrong. We purchase the 5 pound bags by the case.

Jerry's best - Excellent transfer

You have all seen the movie so I will not comment on that. But I think the video of the DVD version is excellent. Detail is excellent for the year this movie was made on my widescreen TV. Unless you have seen this in the theater, you probably have never seen this in widescreen. I can recommend highly.

Boring

The reason I read a book is to enjoy it. Chainfire is a slow pace, nothing happening story. It should have been made a chapter or two in one of the other books. It's slow pace is dragged out to a thick book of many pages.

Poor design and manufacture

Item is of very poor design and manufacture quality.Specifically, the cap must be removed to remove the reservoir. The check valve on the reservoir leaks when you insert it into the bowl. The item needs to be cleaned frequently but the pump is directly connected to the cord so you must unplug the whole thing and cart it to the sink. The filter for the pump does not trap cat hair, what is the point? Worst of all the pump just died after 6 months and they want more $14.95 plus shipping for a replacement, that is more than 1/2 of what the whole think costs.You can find a lot better product than this, keep looking!

This Is What You Need To Know

I have had this book for three years and it is by far the most valuable resource on fishing in California that I own. Locations by region, maps, directions, and discussion of some incredibly obscure spots I never knew existed. The first thing I do when planning a fishing trip with the fellas is open this book and start exploring the hundreds and hundreds of rivers and lakes Tom outlines in detail. We've taken 4 or 5 trips using this book and all have been great. Directions are concise, accessability, facilities and fees are discussed, lures, tackle, and techniques for various locales along with some very entertaining stories make this one of my favorite books in the library.

Better than I anticipated

It turned out that I really liked this movie. I found it more interesting and funny than the Tobey Maguire movies. The cast is great and the action is pretty cool. It gets slow in the middle.

Jim Carry

I would recommend the book Jim Carrey to anyone. The book is a little slow at the start because the authordwindles on Carrey's childhood and him struggle to fame, a little to much. but after that the book picks up quickly. Toward the and the book goes very fast and is exciting. The book ends with a quote drom Jim Carrey himself. "Failure taught me that failure isn't the end, unless you give up." I think that the book Jim Carrey is one of the best biography I have read. There is a lot of detail, I think that that is what makes the book so good. I recommed the book to anyone who is intersted in Jim Carrey.

I just didn't get it.....

I didn't like the character Grant, nor did I particularly feel captivated by his perception of events. I found him to be very troubled, abusive, especially towards his students, and apathetic towards the whole situation. I didn't like the book. It just seemed strange to me that an entire book could be written about a remark made in a courtroom. Pass the salt.

Never again

I have read several of Patrica Cornwells novels but never again . I have above average intelligence and I found Predator to be the most confusing , slapped together , inconsistant , sad novel I have ever read . I wonder if anyone else felt this way . By the end I was still not sure who was who . She had so many insignificant people in it that she spent pages on that you couldnt figure out why they were even in the book . Gore just for the sake of gore and the end was so pathetic it seemed like she just got tired in the last few pages and threw an ending together . Plus I may be hallucinating but I was sure Benton was killed in an earlier book . Something about his face being removed ... yuck . Hope this saves someone else from wasting their money . Happier reading folks .

Don't Buy it Until You've Read More Reviews!

Anyone who is a long-time fan of John Irving will be very disappointed in his latest work. I have read about 4 chapters and cannot believe this was written by the same person who gave us such masterpieces as "A Prayer for Owen Meany", "The Cider House Rules" and "A Widow for One Year." The character development is poor and the language less than artful and often amateurish. What started out as a brilliant way to demonstrate what would cause someone to change his/her life has been ruined by a sophmoric attempt at writing. Did he use a ghost writer?

Unconventional pre-wedding activities

Lee McKinney is preparing for her wedding to her boyfriend Joe. As a study in contrasts, Lee's mother balks at the thought of coming from her Dallas home for the Warner Pier, Michigan, wedding ceremony while Joe's mother wants to take over the whole reception. While trying to plan the wedding and keep the mothers in check, Lee discovers some secrets which her mother has kept from her. Murder and kidnapping occur and Lee is challenged to find the perpetrators and keep her mother safe. In between these activities, she helps her Aunt Nettie at the chocolate shop and continues her wedding plans. Once again JoAnna Carl stirs up an interesting mystery with chocolate as a central theme. As a former Michigander, I am delighted with her descriptions of Warner Pier, a fictional town which has several real-life counterparts along Lake Michigan.

If you're in ATA, this book is VERY helpful

From philosophy to blocks to strikes to forms, this book provides more detail than most do-jahngs provide. It's also helpful as a parent that wants to assist my young son as he is learning. Use these to study between classes and you - and your child - will get more out of class. I plan on buying all nine volumes as we progress through the ranks.A word of caution - make sure you buy the correct volume for the corresponding belt. Volume Nine is for white belt, eight is for orange, seven is yellow, and so on. Also, there are two publication dates for many of these books: 198x and 199x. Be sure to get the new one.

Quality not up to Radio Flyer image

I bought this wagon a year ago for my husband's birthday. To be used for hauling our grandson around the neighborhood and an occasional bag of garden soil. While the structure has held up, the finish on the wood slats has not. Within a month, and this was in July, the paint had started peeling. I have now sanded the sides down as I did not want to have my grandson sitting among paint chips.

Works too good!

I needed to take off old vinyl stickers on a used vehicle I had purchased and decided to buy this product after reading great reviews for it. I had tried chemicals and scrapers and they weren't enough.When I received it, I immediately put it on a cordless drill and went to work. To my horror, not only was it taking off the stickers, it took the paint off as well! I tried to find the fine line of just managing to take the stickers off and leaving the paint untouched, but that was impossible. The wheel is basically just a big rubber eraser.I don't know how everyone else managed to take off stripes and stickers while leaving the paint unharmed underneath. I tried a delicate touch and even that didn't work. Used the wheel for all of two minutes; what a waste of money!

Two years later it is still a favorite!

Got this for my five year old last Christmas. The object to the game is to get to the finish line and win the money bag. FANSTASTIC for teaching about money while having fun. The game is simple to understand and teach. I put the coins in a Ziploc bag as it is just a matter of time before theY part company with the box.STILL FANTASTIC TWO YEARS LATER - My daughter is now seven and we have tweaked the game to make it more challenging (i.e. not taking the change out until you top one dollar so you have to keep a running total in your head). She still loves this game and is great with money. We got our money's worth out and then some out of Money Bags.

clever, whimsical

I had never even heard of Stephan Leacock, but I read about his writings and wanted to read him for myself.Picture yourself in the office of The Great Detective:"At the same moment there was a slight scratching at the door. A visitor entered. He crawled stealthily on his hands and knees. A hearthrug thrown over his head and shoulders disguised his identity. He crawled to the middle of the room. Then he rose.Great Heavens! It was the Prime Minister of England."You!" said the detective."Me," said the Prime Minister.I have truly found a kindred spirit, who makes me giggle and laugh out loud at his silly inventiveness. My only problem with this book is that it is really a brief series of short vignettes. I want MORE!

A Man for all seasons

A timeless classic in which a little history and a little drama come together in a clean yet realistic way. I find the English settings, the smart vocabulary and the representation of the Old English manner was preserved and delightful. I was also appreciative of the way the ending was narrated. Great show, it's no wonder it won a best reward.

Some of the Best I've Heard of Late

This is one of those albums that is in relatively regular rotation in my stereo. It does for youthful aggression/optimism what Beck's Sea Change did for depression - legitimates it. And it feels good. Once you know the lyrics, or even before you do, you'll be hard pressed to not sing along.A few lyrical highlights stick out in particular, such as the chorus from Relative Ways:"It's OKI'm a SaintI forgaveYour mistakes."All of the lines are sung with an enthusiasm that seems to transmit that, unlike what so many bands suggest, the existentialist crises that youth face aren't just acceptable -- they're fun.

Ukrainian Tenor in later life

Many of these are from recordings made when this fabulous Ukrainian tenor was old. The Russians worked him well into his 90s. But what a voice. Even though these are from his later life, they are better than nothing. This voice is definitely one of a kind, with emotion so involving that it often draws tears to listeners' eyes. People who have only heard this recording of his voice should get earlier examples. As a younger man Kozlovsky sang with the most incredibly bel canto line squeezing every bit of meaning from the words. When I recently asked a very famous modern Russian baritone what he thought of Kozlovsky's voice, he said he did not like it. As a trained singer, I pressed him to explain further and he just muttered, "He sings in the old way." Whatever the old way is, I want it. It has passion and subtle nuances of feeling, quite different from some present-day singers' tendency to "bellow" while trying to demonstrate drama.

Varible Speed Jeanie Rub Massager

This is a good product. The only only thing that I do not like about it is that when you hold the handles the strong vibration feel like an electrical shock to the hands. I will find a way to pad the handles and all will be well. This is great for the pain between the shoulder blades that can be caused by numerous different organ problems that share the same nerves. It is the only thing that I know that works for this problem..

Who are they?

Like all of Agatha Christie's books this one is full of suspense, mystery, and drama. This one's a little different. However, the story is not really a who-done-it but a who-are-they and how will Poirot stop the Big 4. I prefer the who-done-its myself. I recommend the book - its a great read.

What a story!

Starhawk's story grabbed me from the first page, walked me all over a futuristic and troubled West Coast where I sat quietly overhearing many private conversations, left me running from some not-so-nice and entirely believable self serving oligarchs, had me wanting to take the bullet for a particularly sympathetic character, and took me to an entirely unexpected finish. Adventure, sex, politics, personal awakening and reclamation of personal power, religion, spirituality, danger, forgiveness. It's all in here.

Too Predictable

I had heard this was supposed to be really funny, and I must admit there were some humorous points. Overall, however, I thought the slapstick was really predicatable and went too far. Bad things happening over and over and over...it got old, fast. The ending was also very predictable.It's worth a rental, but I certainly wouldn't buy it.

Very poor cuisinart muffin top pan

I have purchased 6 of the Cuisinart muffin top pans. They are advertised as non-stick. After about 5 uses they STICK. Even after I carefully oil each cup and brush the oil for complete coverage the muffin tops not just stick but pull a fair amount of muffin from the botton of the muffin.I strongly suggest the people should not buy this pan but Amazon should not carry it. It is a misrepresentation when they claim it is non-stick.Thanks.

Too many chase/fight scenes for my taste

Lots of "cool" looking scenes and mystery in the beginning, but it was drawn out too long. Midway into the story and we still did not know what was going on. I got bored many times after the halfway point and would have turned off except I had to watch for a class.For the young male viewer I am sure, as are most movies today. Sigh.

Skip it

First off let me save you some money. I wish someone would have told me this. This DVD and the How to make a Haunted House DVD are the same DVD. The only difference is the title. I bought both thinking I was getting 2 different DVDs.Now about the DVD. It is not all bad. But it is very very basic. If you have no idea what you are doing this may help you. But if you have ever done a haunted house before then this will be too basic for you.Skip it and the other one.A much better buy is Xtreme Haunted Home Make-Over. This is a good buy and cheap.

K&K's pack 'n play

great addition to twin must have's, ESPECIALLY when you're first home from the hospital. my twins were preemie and not able to go into a swing or bouncer straight home from the hospital. having this in the living room has been a lifesaver. i also have a 4 year old, 3 year, and 2 year old, and this has been super easy to set the twins in when one of my other little bugs need me in a hurry. the only down fall is that it dips in the middle, causing them to roll toward the divider (a little nerve racking when your babies can't push themselves away from it . . . ). fortunately, you can lift the "mattress" and slip a couple blankets - folded flat and square - under the middle, or place their heads on the outer side so that their feet are at the divider.Good Luck!!!
