] | I was so disappointed with this book I can barely find the words to describe it. I thought it would be all about what the author did to create the sounds that revolutionized rock and roll recording -- and make no mistake, Geoff Emerick deserves plenty of credit for innovation and fearless experimentation -- but that's not what we get with this book. Sure, he tells us a few choice details, like how he got Paul's huge bass sound on "Rain" and "Paperback Writer," and how he managed to make John sound like something from your greatest acid trip on "Tomorrow Never Knows," but this book isn't about recording The Beatles so much as it is about slighting everyone Emerick feels didn't treat him with great respect from the word go. The more you read, the more you suspect that even the best intentioned person would become cannon fodder for Emerick's pen if he didn't smile warmly and say something incredibly kind during their first handshake. The ratio of people he dislikes to those he likes is way out of whack. My theory has always been that anyone who can't seem to find anyone to talk about in a positive way is probably the problem himself.Very early in the book Emerick lets us know that George Harrison didn't give him the time of day. Uh oh. He spends the rest of the book mercilessly trashing George with accusations that are certainly easy to make now that George is dead and therefore unavailable to demand a retraction. According the Emerick, George Harrison was a mediocre guitarist at best. Interesting, then, that he should become so influential. Hell, there's a whole branch of the power pop genre that owes everything to Harrison. But Emerick says he couldn't play, so I guess it must be true, right?Except... wouldn't the greatest band in the world have kicked him out if he wasn't a killer player who was bringing important stuff to the table?Ask Pete Best about that. You remember Pete, right? He wasn't good enough to make it to that final rung on the ladder of success, so they brought in Ringo Starr, widely considered the best drummer in Liverpool. Ah, but Emerick doesn't like poor Ringo, either. Makes him out to be a shoddy drummer and a blithering idiot who reads comic books and plays checkers because... well, that's his level of intellect. He also says he hasn't much of a personality. Ringo. The guy who was #1 on all the best party lists in the 60s becauseAs for John Lennon, well, Emerick seems to have been fascinated by John, and he certainly thought him greatly talented, but he paints a picture of an unpredictable guy who might be gentle or vicious, depending on the mood, and it might be both in the same hour. In short, he got Lennon right. Hey, he had to get SOMETHING right.That leaves Paul, who came up to the little room Emerick was restricted to in the early days and spent his break times talking music, comparing notes on the latest records on the radio. They became friends, and more importantly, Paul showed Emerick mega-respect.The result of all of the above is an entire, long book with repetitive comments belittling George and Ringo, wondering over John and being sentimental about Paul to the point of nearly being romantic. It wears thin very fast. Sometimes it is creepy. And when it gets to the point where you cringe every time he starts to write about a session because you know he's going to make George out to be a non-musical, hostile, bumbling fool, you start to ask yourself why you're still reading the book... and why so many people, people you would have to assume are fans of the band, are giving it five stars. | 1 | Harrison couldn't play?

] | I've read a lot of books on this subject, and this is one of the best and worst of them. The research is incredibly well done and a lot of long accepted myths are corrected here. For that it's indispensable. It was horribly frustrating, though, because 1) it jumped back and forth in time without any clear tie-ins to help it all make sense, and 2) the author seems to have assumed we all speak multiple languages. Even though there are many footnotes, Beevor didn't include any for the many references to comments made in German and French. I don't have the book with me so I can't give an example. He'll say something like the bombing of the battlefield was so intense the Germans called it [insert German words here], but he doesn't bother to translate. I understand why he would want to use the correct names for all of the German units, but some of those names were incredibly long, and Beevor packs so many into a single sentence it becomes hard to follow. Not to mention next to impossible to remember. If you don't have the ability to remember everything you read word for word, you'll probably get lost over and over reading this book. The amount of information to be gleaned is astounding, but if you manage to get through the maze with the whole story intact in your mind you're a better man than I.PS - This will tick off anyone who considers General Montgomery to be a great hero of WWII. I already thought he was a terrible general, so it didn't bother me. Besides, Beevor points out the errors and the egotistical attrocities of many other top officers, so ol' Monty doesn't stand out as the only fool on the hill. | 4 | Not for those without a photographic memory | 1,263,772,800 | 01 18, 2010 |

] | I'm a sucker for time travel stories. So much so that I must admit I will cut a time travel book some slack if it makes me feel transported. I stayed with this long book all the way, despite feeling sorely tempted to quit on it after about page 150. By that point I knew what I was in for, which was another 250 pages of repetitive whining from the three main characters, way too much access to their every thought, interesting or not, and the author's annoying and boring way of resolving things with a simple "She was" or "It wasn't". She hoped her shelter hadn't been bombed. It hadn't. He ran to the corner to see if the cathedral was still standing. It was. (These are just descriptions of what it's like, not word for word examples, though "It/She/He/They were/weren't/wasn't/didn't" appears endlessly. This one's mine: DJ feared he was wasting his time reading a book that would just continue in anxious little circles without anything happening.He was.On top of this, the three main characters are irritating at best. The constant internal dialoque is almost always filled with "what if they can't find me, what if they aren't looking for me, what if I changed history, what if there's no one left to come looking for me, what if I have to go to the bathroom and that's when they'll show up to rescue me and they'll leave?" And it goes on forever. Add to this the fact that the book introduces characters and situations early and then never mentions them again ends abruptly with nothing at all being resolved, and you find out there's yet another 500 page book you have to buy to continue the story even though there was no indication on the cover that that would be the case, you start to feel you may have been duped.You were.I bought the second book, All Clear, after reading 150 pages of the first, when I was still enthusiastic about the whole thing. I scanned it a bit today and saw that nothing much changed, and it was still mostly internal whining. I wondered momentarily if the loose ends were compelling enough that I might actually read the second book.They weren't. I won't. | 1 | Possibly the most annoying book I've ever read. | 1,383,004,800 | 10 29, 2013 |

I didn't have a clue what to call anything I did, aside from knowing when I was playing a major, a minor, a 7th or a 9th. But only because better players told me so. Having found some success in other areas with other books in the Dummies franchise, I took a shot at this one.Turns out I was doing a lot of things right all these years and even being fairly close to correct in the way I described them to my guitar students. Yes, a guy who needs a Dummies book for music teaches kids to play. The nerve, right? Well, I feel a lot better about it now. I'm able to give my students some theory with their Green Day, and using the same matter-of-fact way of describing and discussing it as I found in the book, it gets across quite nicely. I'd bought a different book on music theory that was supposed to be very simple. In fact, it seemed extremely short and unintimidating... at first. Shortest book I ever failed to complete. THIS book, on the other hand, clocks in at 330-some pages and it never bogs down. They stay with a topic instead of flying past it without making sure you are ready to move on. In my opinion, that's the most important quality a Dummies book should have: a flat-out refusal to leave any reader in the dust. I appreciate that. Now if the same authors will just do a MIDI For Dummies book, aaaaand maybe books for Studio-In-A-Box 24Track Digital Recording, Signal Processing, Microphone Techniques, Child Rearing and a few other topics I need help with, life will be complete. | 5 | I finally put 2 and 2 together thanks to this book | 1,195,776,000 | 11 23, 2007 |

At the time of this writing there are 90 customer reviews, the average rating is a perfect 5 stars, and somehow it STILL seems underrated. I won't go into details about the film, since there's plenty of that here already, but I do want to say that if you're looking at this movie and you've never heard of it (and you wouldn't be alone), and you're worried about the "Costner Factor," don't be. It's every bit as good as everyone is saying. Someone said it's no Godfather, and I suppose that's true regarding scale, but as much as I love The Godfather, it didn't put me through the vast range of emotions that I experience every time I watch Fandango. It's a special film that deserves far better treatment than it's received to this point. How it could have possibly taken this long to reach DVD... Well, okay, I know how. It's because critics bashing it resulted in fewer people seeing it, and therefore less demand. Such a shame. Anyway, happy day! I can finally retire my disintrigrating videotape.

They always feel like foreign language to me, because so many sci-fi authors create their own languages to go with their own worlds. Can't read the typical sci-fi series for that reason. I need more books like The Martian. The main character here does speak another language that I don't understand, which is the language of engineering, but you don't need to fully understand everything he's doing to enjoy the book. It's almost impossible to put down. Now I'm just sad this author doesn't have a few dozen other books I can read.

He goes into brief (and yet more than his usual) detail about the battles BEFORE the Americans surrendered to the Japanese, but mostly just focuses on people he associated with for most of the rest of the book.I rate the book at four stars because it WAS a page turner, I never lost interest and it gave me a lot of information about the Philippine people in that time of crisis. It also appears to be an attempt to set the record semi-straight as to who got too much credit and who gave little if any credit to others.

] | Before you buy this book you should ask yourself if bad writing bugs you. The book is filled with bizarre comments and exclamation marks. Nelson caps his points with single word sentences that just get obnoxious after a while. (Manipulation! Death! Murder!) His agenda is clear from the get-go. I don't disagree with his main point, that Charles Watson did things so horrible that he should never rejoin society. But Nelson seems to find support for that in some places where it just doesn't exist. It all comes off like it wants to be overwrought pulp fiction, but most of the meat is direct trial transcripts that are like all actual trial transcripts: boring. Long strings of yes/no questions, tons of interruptions, and relentless driving home of points that were probably important, but they're boring as hell to the reader. This isn't to say there aren't interesting sections, but you will have to learn to ignore his silly style if you want to read this. There's also a lot of "the one true God" and "he went to church so why did this happen" naivete.

This particular album (one of three they put out)is so good I've been listening to it regularly for about a fifteen years. "Disintegration" has been covered by a lot of bands, but the original is here and it's far better than the other versions. They do a fantastic cover of The Osmond Brothers' famous (and career-ending) psychedelic tune, "Crazy Horses". 16 songs, all of them iPod-worthy. Highly recommended.

He heard music as pulses and thuds, and he learned to play guitar based on what he heard in his head. Personally, I consider this one of my favorite albums of any genre. His voice took two listens to sink in, but I'd hate to hear these songs with some generic voice lesson grad. And the stories in the songs are all real. I interviewed him when the album was released and learned a lot about him. "I The Wicked Child" is actually about his dad being saved in a Sophie's Choice scenario in Poland during WWII, while his brother was left to the Nazis to kill. He was always called "wicked" by his parents for the slightest infractions of their laws, and reminded that his brother died for him. The fact that it's a freakin' great and powerful song before you even GET to the lyrics makes it all the more amazing. It's a psychedelia album, so if you don't already "get" that genre your mind won't be changed by this one. Everyone I know who was into psych fell in love with this album. Another thing to note is that this was a one-off project by a guy who spends his days and nights as an AIDS researcher helping look for the cure. | 5 | I totally disagree with the one star reviews here. | 1,303,689,600 | 04 25, 2011 |

For all I know someone in my family conked it with a frying pan to cause that crack. Nope, I'm talking about the little metal knob you have to push and pull to toggle the water through the filter. The problem is the little metal knob has screw threads. It's attached by them, and every time you push or pull that thing it gets looser, eventually falling off (several times per week) and, usually, going down into the garbage disposal. I've got huge hands and I can't reach in there, so I have to wait for my wife to come home before I dare turn on the disposal.

In this stack of 100+ reviews there are complaints about the 30 minute increments of the timer system, but they're hard to find. I can't imagine why anyone would buy a programmable crock pot, considerably more expensive than a standard crock pot, if they weren't concerned about cooking time. Yes, the majority of recipes call for X number of hours, not X:15, but of the six recipes I use a crock pot for, only one can be programmed for on this crock pot. Most of them are like "2:15 on high". Chicken cooked on high for two hours and fifteen minutes is perfect. Chicken cooked on high for two and a half hours is dry as the Sahara. My memory isn't what it used to be, so it's really important to be able to program this thing so I don't forget. But with the 30 minute increments, it's pretty much useless to me.

As you've seen in other reviews here, the basic story is that when her husband of 13 years tries to leave her for a younger woman, pushy, career-oriented, crazy woman Louise (Meg) won't allow him to leave. She cracks him on the head with a flowerpot and he wakes up duct taped to a chair. She's decided he can't leave until he loves her again. A great movie will make you suspend your disbelief without even realizing it. I spent this entire film thinking "no wonder he was leaving her, the woman is psychotic." The "don't blink or you'll miss it" ending drives that home. At the end you just want to help Ian (Timothy Hutton) find his way into the Witness Relocation Program. There's a nerve-wracking home invasion element to the story that seems especially awful in light of the fact that the screenwriter, Adrienne Shelly, was murdered brutally during a home invasion before this script was finished. My guess is she never would have let it go out like this. It's really a shame. | 2 | Good Acting Can't Save Everything | 1,277,510,400 | 06 26, 2010 |

I'm not going out on a limb at all in guessing that she's not a professional copy editor. What amazes me is not just that C.D. Wilson abuses commas in bizarre ways. I'm more amazed that his "editor" wouldn't clean that up. Is it possible that two different people, who happen to be married, could possibly think the following sentences are okay?"He was used as slave in the mines of Japan, after they were shipped out from Battan, on a hell ship."It's "Bataan", for starters. Rather central to this story, so you'd think that much would have been corrected. The commas here make it sound like there's a mine on a hell ship. Wouldn't that sink the ship? This is the least annoying comma abuse in the book. How about these?"They continued to tramp wearily, along the rocky trail with grave spirits." (What was that comma's job?)"Each of them tried to come to grips, with death." (Ouch.)"He would see it in his psyche, for the rest of his days." (Getting a headache here!)"The rope neckties were now a crimson red, from decapitation." (Oooh man...)"The numbers of flesh eating black flies were so enormous they shaded the horror-struck soldiers, from the sun, for an instant." (Sooo these soldiers are from the Sun? Is that the star? Is that the British tabloid? How did they get to Earth in the first place?)And it's not always commas being abused, as you just read in that last example)."Exhausted, parched and terrified they struggled to help wounded American brothers; they vowed not to leave behind." (What?)These are just a few examples from the prologue! That last one was the second sentence of the book! Obviously this stuff doesn't bother some people, and they might enjoy this book. I don't know that for certain because I never finished the prologue. If you are a person who finds it hard to read anything this poorly edited (and written), you should avoid this.

If you're going to write a book and charge anything at all for it, whether it's one dollar or ten, you should pay a pro to edit it. If you can't afford a pro you can get a college intern. No English major worth a damn would miss all these mistakes. The prologue is littered with them. I advanced into chapter one just to make sure it wasn't only the prologue that was messed up. No such luck. On page two of chapter one we see this:"He was stunned, to see Liam leaning forward with his arms folded, resting on the back of the front seat."Just a quick glance at the chapter reveals many obvious blunders. I'm sure I'd find many more if I had the energy to read it, but I just don't. It's not just punctuation. The writing isn't good in any sense. Again, this is just the prologue I'm basing this on, but that quick glance revealed several examples of bad writing. I don't know that the best editor in the world could save this."The United States, did not consider the Japanese had the impudence to attack America.""President Roosevelt, transmitted on 'December 7 1941, the Japanese Empire, sneak attacked our American forces, on Pearl Harbor, and the day will live in infamy'."That last one is the poster sentence for my argument. Tell me what the hell the quotes are for? This isn't even paraphrasing. It's summing up. Badly.I'm not going to read any more of this. It's too exhausting. | 1 | There was an EDITOR on this?! | 1,311,724,800 | 07 27, 2011 |

] | I had a regular Fitbit and now have an Ultra. It's pretty cool that it can count how much altitude you gain in a day. It's a shame that if you go for a hilly walk, or hiking with altitude gain, the distance covered gets skewed. As long as I walk on flat ground the distance is fine. Maybe I take smaller steps when going up a hill? I don't know but I'm not the only one seeing this phenomenon. The step count stays accurate, though, so I go by that. I love having more things display, like the time, and the ability to use the recording feature as a stop watch. The little greetings are kind of cheesey and I could do without them. There's no change in the Ultra around recording sleeping, and that is actually uncannily accurate and really interesting to study. It also records intensity of exercise which is a good stat to have and some apps have started integrating with the Fitbit site and picking that up to reward regular strenuous activity. I love the website where I can watch how I'm doing, and get a thrill of pleasure when my flower gets really long. All in all, glad I have a Fitbit and I recommend it for those wanting to record more than just step count with a pedometer. | 4 | Pretty cool little gadget | 1,321,833,600 | 11 21, 2011 |

Shortly thereafter I started running into the "dead key" issues reported by others here. I'd try to type the letter, but it was as if it had been glued in place. I'd have to hit the key very hard to get the letter. By the next day (today) it was impossible to use. Many of the keys were like that. You couldn't type anything. I used compressed air on it in case something had gotten under the keys, but no, it's just a crummy keyboard. I really wish I hadn't been in a hurry while searching Amazon for a new keyboard, because I didn't read all the reviews, which would have warned me about this problem. That won't happen again.

] | From the first time I've seen the prequels come by in my "recommended" list, I've been hooked. Cameron Jace is an extraordinary writer if it comes to clever connections, interesting points of view and a story so well written it is amazing! All your favourite characters of the Grimm fairy tales (and some others) pay a visit in the prequels and I have been waiting very patiently for this first book to come out.This book is amazingly well written. If you're from America, you're in for a twist because not everything is as you're used to in this story. In this story you meet Loki Blackstar, a dreamhunter who is going on an incredible adventure. As I do not want to say too much in case I accidentally do a "spoiler" I will just say this:If you LOVE a well written story, that has multiple levels, clever thought out plots, is unpredictable, exciting to read, really good connections made with rhymes and history in the real world as we know it and with an incredible depth to the characters in it, my suggestion is to ABSOLUTELY GET THIS BOOK!I read it in one day and I loved it. I do really suggest to read the prequels as well since they will bring more depth to this story, but dont worry if you haven't read those or want to read them after, you will still be able to understand exactly what is going on ;) | 5 | Be prepared to get your mind blown! | 1,369,958,400 | 05 31, 2013 |

I have seen most "Alice" films they made, and I did read the original story, but they never really tickled me. The story Cameron wrote down has been wonderful. For the first time in my life I actually wanted to go down the rabbit hole and see what was on the other side. Alice (whether or not she is THE Alice) is wonderful to follow around and see where the riddles take her. And again the links from fantasy to the real world, Cameron has made so many now, it is almost impossible for me to not try and see the fantastic stories in the real world. | 5 | Unexpected, as is to be expected | 1,387,670,400 | 12 22, 2013 |

] | ~~*Disclaimer: I have a BLACK VERIZON Iphone 4*~~I LOVE this new gameboy iphone case. It fits perfectly. The only reason it has 4 instead of 5 stars, is that it is not the color shown in the picture. I don't know what others received, but mine is a soft, baby pink. Though, if you are like me, then when you order something you are happier just having it. Only when I went back and looked at this post did I realize it was not hot pink/magenta/whatever as picture. So it really wasn't a big deal to me. I almost like the color of mine better anyways. I think the quality is awesome. The buttons and screen and everything are all raised and separated from the background as if it were real buttons. I've seen reviews on similar cases saying theirs were to big and did not fit tightly and came off in when taking out of pocket and what not. That is not the case (no pun intended) with this case. It a nice fit and my phone does not move around or anything. It sits in there like it's supposed too. The side buttons (volume and mute switch) are all cut out in ONE circle. On some models I've seen there is a bar between the buttons and the mute switch. This one just has one hole for them all. Which I like. The bottom which has the speakers and plug outlet is cut out nicely as well. The top cut out for the headphone jack and noise cancelation/microphone is a teardrop shape which is perfect. As well as the camera/flash hole. Perfect as well. This one, unlike others I've seen on my search actually has the real logo! I love that feature instead of having some random companies logo in it's place.The only other downside is that the screen protector that came with it sucks so much. It leaves bubbles no matter how you put it on and is pretty thick which somewhat affects the touch response. I'm only using it because I am very accident prone and don't want to scuff up my screen. It also came with a little screen wipe which was nice. But it was free, so I won't really complain.Over all, I love the feel of the silicone, it's easy to get the phone in and out of the case because of the flexibility but it fits snug and very nicely, the quality is awesome, and the cut outs are perfect. It IS NOT the bright/hot pink shown in the picture as I received a light baby pink one. So take that into consideration. | 4 | Awesome case but... | 1,326,585,600 | 01 15, 2012 |

You just have to get past the author's relentless lecturing. Reading it demanded every ounce of tolerance I could muster, and actually I ran out before the end. As I persevered through chapter after chapter, I kept wondering to whom the author and the publisher thought the book would speak. (At least to those who gave it enthusiastic reviews, I guess.)

The qualities they saw had to be in their eyes only. There's way too much talking by the "experts". It's repetitious, contradictory, hyperbolic, self-serving and numbing overall.There's hardly any footage of actual birthing and some super-amateurish moments like a woman baring her pregnant form against a background that prominently features a toilet, and an unknown woman on half the screen jabbering about her unassisted births, above a background of crashing waves, as the credits zip by on the other half of the screen. Even the relatively short "Cow Trough", meant to be amusing, is too drawn out (and stupid).None of the content is really bad (except the toilet scene and the physician categorically proclaiming that naturally birthed babies are pink when they emerge). Skillful editing to reduce the overall viewing time by half might turn this material into something worthwhile.

] | I've never thought of Rucker as a great writer, but he never wants for interesting ideas. While his characters tend to be fairly broad and cartoonish, the bright colors of his invented slang and weird technology make for a nice pleasant brain buzz.In "Freeware", Rucker continues his little AI saga begun in "Software" and "Wetware". The boppers (the little AI robots featured in the first two novels) are all dead, but their spirit (or at least their core software) lives on in the "moldies", who are basically big pieces of self-aware floppy plastic infected with a stinky fungus. Of course what Rucker immediately wants to investigate is: Can you have sex with a moldie? The answer, of course, is yes.The plot meanders through the backstories of its various characters (which also help shed light on the events which have occurred since "Wetware"), shows off the interesting abilities of the moldies (some of which require some suspension of disbelief), showcases exciting new fictional mind-altering drugs, and eventually comes to the Big Reveal, which I found fairly interesting. Although this sort of thing (I'm not going to say WHAT sort of thing) has certainly been done before, I don't think it's ever been done in quite this fashion.One major complaint I have about the book is its rather abrupt ending. Rucker wraps things up here in about two pages, as if he was in a rush to finish. A bit more denouement would have been nice.Basically, if you've read and enjoyed the first two "Ware" books, you're likely to find this enjoyable as well. Anyone who HASN'T read the first two books is advised to start with the first book, "Software", which is a rather short (150 pages) and breezy read. | 4 | Stuzzy | 1,158,883,200 | 09 22, 2006 |

] | Those people familiar with John Woo's work might know what to expect from this movie -- except you won't. This was one of Woo's final Hong Kong films before he went to Hollywood, and it is rivalled only by his masterpiece "Hard Boiled". But while Hard Boiled offered pure action, Bullet in the Head is an entirely different story. It's neither a typical Vietnam film, nor is it a typical HK action flick -- instead it's a shattering drama about friendship and brotherhood violently destroyed. In the past, to friends who aren't familiar with Woo's work, I've described his films as "chick flicks for guys" -- which is accurate. Woo invokes feelings of fraternity and male friendship like female-oriented movies tend to do for the opposite gender. In Woo's world, violence (even theatric, unrealistic violence) is one of the few ways the male can express his emotions, even if the violence is forced on him by the circumstances. When one friend betrays another -- as happens in this film -- the consequences are staggering. At this point, late in the film, Woo produces the most dramatic scenes ever seen in any of his films. This is my favorite Woo film ever -- and for good reason. | 5 | Astonishing. | 1,098,576,000 | 10 24, 2004 |

There are a lot of bad English lyrics present, but the music is actually pretty good and catchy. Sound-wise, it's a lot like late-80s Front 242 with the darker atmosphere of late-80s Skinny Puppy mixed in. Lots of baroque synthesizers and 4/4 beats. I would consider this a must-have album for any modern EBM fans (I know you kiddies are out there!).Probably Sevren Ni-arb's (get it? Ha ha!) best effort other than Hyperdex-1-Sect. | 3 | Good early-90s EBM | 1,154,736,000 | 08 5, 2006 |

] | I bought this Presto PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper because I couldn't stand eating microwave popcorn with all the preservatives it has and really missed the fresh "natural" stove-popped popcorn that I made with my family all the time at home. Obviously I can't make stove-popped popcorn in my college dorm, so I was looking for a different option. First, I saw that the microwaveable corn popper bowls such as theNordic Ware 60120 Microwaver Popcorn Popper 12 Cupseemed pretty effective for a lot of people, but after reading one person's review saying that the bowl popper didn't work for their low-wattage (700W) microwave, I was pretty wary to try it in my own 700W microwave. As a result, it seemed that a hot air corn popper was the cheap and effective solution, and I bought this one, which was actually cheaper than the list price because I got it from Amazon Warehouse ;).So far, it's been working absolutely wonderfully! It was a bit larger than I thought it would be, but that doesn't really matter because I didn't really know what to expect, anyway haha. But I'm so excited to have fresh popcorn in my room and in such short time, too! It doesn't take the popper long to heat up and pop the corn and leaves only about five or six kernels in the bowl. I would have to agree with other reviewers, though, that it would be very nice to have an on/off switch on the popper as I have to reach down to my power strip to plug and unplug it, but it's still great regardless! I really have to restrain myself to keep from making a batch a day :P, and I try to keep the popcorn healthy to eat by sprinkling it only with oil or very little butter and then adding salt. Also, it's pretty portable and compact so that I only have to take off the lid and put it in a box under my bed when I'm not using it.Overall, I really love this popper because it's quick, effective, and it pops fresh natural popcorn in my dorm room that reminds me of my home that's a state away :). | 4 | Perfect for the Dorm! | 1,295,827,200 | 01 24, 2011 |

] | This case is pretty much what I was looking for. I wanted a non-expensive case that would be sturdy and protect my iPod Touch 3Generation from scratches and such. Silicon cases are not very reliable and usually attract a lot of dust and slide around. This case is very firm, has soft foam on the inside to cushion and further protect the iPod Touch and has a really nice velvety feel to it that is super nice to the touch!One thing I didn't realize when I bought it was that it came in two parts, which slide together somewhere at the bottom of the iPod to "seal" around the Touch. This is totally fine except that the perfectionist part of me noticed that the two parts don't completely slide all the way together, and a little seam is visible where they meet. It probably doesn't bother most people, and all you have to do is just push the two parts in a little anyway.Also, I noticed that a couple of random little crumb/particles got between the case and the groove made by the spacing between the backing on the iPod and the screen it was surrounding and were difficult to get out. I tried to pull apart the case to be able to clear the particles from the groove, but only the smaller bottom piece came off. I didn't want to strain my iPod too much when trying to take off the top piece so I left it as it was. For most of the particles that get stuck, it helps to just blow into the nook, so it's not too bad.Overall, this is a super great case for the price; it has a great color, great feel, and it functions just like it ought to! Besides the minor inconveniences, which probably won't bother most people anyway, I highly recommend it! | 4 | Really Nice Feel! | 1,295,827,200 | 01 24, 2011 |

It fits very snugly, and the pocket is great for holding items (I put my charger in there, which has actually helped me out in the past when my Kindle ran out of battery and I wasn't at home!). At first, the pocket for the Kindle was a little tight, but it's stretched out enough so it's not as difficult to zip anymore. The material is fairly thick and definitely is effective at protecting my Kindle from scratches and things of that kind. I also feel safe just putting it in my backpack, and it for sure has made me feel way better about my Kindle's safety and allows me to confidently take it anywhere! | 4 | Just Right | 1,295,827,200 | 01 24, 2011 |

It just seemed like it didn't go into depth, it could more or less be summed up in, "whatever your passionate about go after it". which is a not quiet what I was hoping for from this book.I am not saying that this is a bad book or that it should not be read, I am just saying that it didn't really mean a lot to me. I feel like the Gospel is so much more deep and rich than just, go do what your passionate about, who ever said that this was al supposed to be about us anyway.I can say that I like the author's writing style, it is easy to read, I also liked the way the book was laid out with the very short sections, it kept it interesting. | 3 | just Ok | 1,322,697,600 | 12 1, 2011 |

I thought the relationship and the romance between the two main characters was exceptional. I could not put this book down. I think the only flaws were that some of the situations in the book seemed a little eccentric (i.e. the shotgun wedding), but the same situations added to the story.

Having not been back to regular workout/biking yet, I have also fallen out of shape. A friend of mine recommended me to try Rodney Yee's Yoga for Beginners to help relax better. She recommended that I could move up to other DVD's as I excelled on this one. As a result, I bought a bunch of DVD's with Rodney Yee as the Yoga instructor. I know I was taking a risk, what if I did not like his DVD's? But, I trusted this individual's recommendations and here I am.I started off with Abs Yoga for Beginners DVD. I wanted to start off with Yoga for Beginners, but Amazon.com did not have that one available. I haven't tried the other DVD's yet, but if it is anything like this one, I am sure I will like them too. The Abs Yoga for Beginners is absolutely a great way to get your day started. Having done no yoga myself, I did not know what to expect. Rodney Yee is really a great instructor of what to do and how much to do for those who are not as good in shape as he is. As always, you should consult your doctor before you embark on any exercise activity.Rodney Yee gives succinct directions as he demonstrates yoga. He refrains from excessive talking which helps a lot - especially if you're going to do it everyday like I am trying to do. The music is great and very relaxing, the narration just right. I still have trouble staying in tune with breathing part, when to inhale and when to exhale. But, don't worry, it is all in there, you just need to train your body and mind for the right time and length to breathe in and out. Don't be fooled though, Rodney Yee is in greatest shape and he makes things look very easy. I would recommend anyone doing any kind of activity to always warm up for it at least for 2 minutes; this DVD is no exception to warm up. Stretching and bending over still require warm muscles. And never force yourself too hard. Do as best as your can, and gradually improve yourself when you can.With Abs Yoga for Beginners, you will get a nice stretch, a good posture and a pretty good abs workout, all in 15 minutes. In a nutshell, I would recommend this product to anyone out there who is willing to give yoga a shot! | 5 | Great way to start your day | 1,269,043,200 | 03 20, 2010 |

] | When one day my cat woke up with one eye sealed shut, I thought she got into a fight with another cat the night before and had her eye injured. I decided to give it another day or two to heal. Two days passed and the eye did not get any better. Plus, I noticed some [...] fluid coming out of her eye that was causing her eye to close. Being really concerned, I hit the internet in search of causes of eye infection and solutions to it and found the PetAlive Eye-Heal.I favored the PetAlive Eye-Heal because it sounded like a product I could easily use on my cat. My cat can be very fussy sometimes, and she is highly sensitive to smelly medications and edible drugs in form of a pill. I figured, applying a little bit of the solution to a cotton pad and wiping my cat's eye clean would not be too challenging. And I was right. Although my cat could smell the product and immediately sense the hint of medication coming her way, she did allow me to put it on her eye twice a day. And she resisted me less in the next rounds of treatment as she realized that this made her eye feel better. In about two days, I could immediately see the benefits of the solution. And, in about a week, she was almost completely healed.My recommendation to potential buyers is, to keep in mind that this is just a natural healing medicine. That is, it is not Rx nor known by vets (and the product recommends you seek a vet if there is no progress or condition worsens). Until you have time to take your cat to a vet, this product is a great cleanser and quick fix for your cat's eye infection (My vet told me to continue to use it if it is helping; it would not hurt). I would suggest that you apply it on both eyes even though only one eye may be infected, because infection in one eye can easily spread to the other good eye at a time when your cat's immunity is low. It would not hurt to apply to your other healthy cats living under the same roof. If your cat heals, you save a trip to the vet and the medication is reasonably cheap (Amazon.com is the best price so far). | 5 | Quick fix for your cat's eye infection | 1,207,872,000 | 04 11, 2008 |

] | I have heard about cashmere sweaters all my life, but never owned one due to the obvious reason of high cost. This ([...]) is my first cashmere sweater and I absolutely love it. It is a v-neck sweater and layered over a long-sleeve shirt, it looks very elegant. It can also be worn alone, and it looks great that way too, very warm and soft - although if your skin is a bit itch-sensitive to wooly/wintery items, you may still need to layer it over a t-shirt for the least. I usually get quite itchy with wooly items, but my skin did ok with this sweater. The only thing I can say is it runs a bit small, I bought a size S, and a M would have been so much better when layering over a shirt or a turtle-neck. The sweater also tends to leave a light homogenous layer of lint, which picks up easily with a single roll or lint roller. Since this is my first cashmere, I don't know if the lint will cease to remain in time or not. I don't see it as a huge problem at all. I love the softness and warmth as I tend to feel cold a lot in winter; it kept me warm on a cold night to my satisfaction. I would recommend everyone to try this sweater, especially when on sale; it is a great bargain. | 4 | Very Elegant | 1,324,944,000 | 12 27, 2011 |
