This product will not be sent as a 3-pack!
I have tried two different times to order this as a 3-pack and both times only received ONE BOTTLE. It should not be that hard to include the other two bottles. I have gotten a refund both times, so if you need this product...buy it somewhere else. Someone in shipping does not know what a 3-pack is suppose to look like.

Goes to the point
I like to read "How to" books that are concise and go to the point without making me waste time reading unnecessary fringe. Mr. Shepard, I love this book full of tips. I recently wrote a short story for children in Spanish. Now I notice my many "errors" that I plan to correct. :O) As English is my second language, the chapter on rhythm and beats is a bit difficult for me to absorb. But I will. And will use Shepard's ideas for my writing. Somebody else can do the translation if it goes to English. Thanks Mr. Shepard!

Awesome
Katy Ficarra is pure genuis!!! A young other with just her 1st publish, she certainly starts out with a bang. She writes at a level that most only hope to achieve in their lifetime. This book is very much a fantasy book, but can appeal to readers of all areas and levels. I have never liked fantasy, but this book really made me love it.

Cracks in hose
Just wanted to report a possible safety concern regarding this product that I purchased a little over a year ago. While switching out propane tanks, I noticed a few cracks in the hose, and can smell the odor of propane emanating through the cracks. I haven't been taking the tree of the tank very often since I leave it on there all the time to cook with the grill on the porch. Only time it was taken off the tank was when we went camping last summer. I called the company to inform them, and was told the report would be passed to the production department. When asked if they would replace the item or conduct repairs, I was told since it didn't happen when I purchased it then they wouldn't assist me any further in the matter. I was instructed to take the item back to the place of purchase to seek a refund or replacement.

Tom and Jerry: A Nutcraker Tale
My daughter is 5 years old and performed in the Nutcracker Ballet. She loves the music and loves Tom & Jerry. There were a few phrases used in the movie that caught me a bit off guard, something like "hang on like a fat guy to a doughnut". But we talked about it and she knows it is not a nice thing to say. She can watch it over and over and over and over again. Good thing I like the music too.

Disappointly Eccentric
Having "cut my Classical teeth" on the original Switched On Bach back in the 70s, I was looking forward to this "Next Generation" work by Carlos. In a time in our lives when so many things keep getting better and better with the assistance of computers; I'm saddened to say that I was truly disappointed in this work. I found that his musical "packaging" really got in the way of the music. The music so well composed was trampled in a busy frenzy of emotions. The music I so loved was used as a "carrier" for some distorted message. I'm sorry to say that I can not recommend this CD for pleasurable listening.

Did anyone test this game before it was released?!?!?
This has to be one of the worst madden games ever to be released on any system! I think it beats the one when all the players were painted black and a ambulance used to come out to the field and run over players (97?). The glitches are just abnormal, you do a no huddle an get called for false start every freaking time?! The computer picks plays for you, you cant call time out, i can go on... It seriously makes you think that they rushed this game out for the wii before testing it.

not worth it
Though I haven't had the leaking issues that some folks have, I would have to whole-heartedly agree that this machine is outrageously loud when on the high setting. Fortunately, the medium is fine for my smallish bedroom. BUT the problem I have is with the light! Nowhere on the box did I see mention of the horrible, massive, green glowing light. As someone who needs it pitch black to sleep at night, this thing is like putting a giant beacon in the middle of the room. And despite my best efforts at covering the light without covering the vents, it's impossible to drown it out completely. OH. AND the gurgling. Almost forgot - it periodically gurgles - loudly - while it's on. Tends to wake one up on and off all night long. If I didn't need a humidifier so badly for my asthma this week during allergy season, I'd have taken this unit back where I bought it immediately. Unfortunately, I've been hard-pressed to find one.

Great Kitchen Gadget!
I have had one of these for about 4 years, it's a great gadget to own in the kitchen! Although I haven't experimented alot with it, I have made smoothies for the kids basically with it. I tried chopping onions as they promise in the infomercials, but was unsuccessful - seems like it liquifies it instead of chops. But for a quick smoothie or frozen margarita, it is wonderful! I love the color coded lids, everyone can have their own cups, even if I am not using the blender, just using the cups for juice.The blade tops are not really dishwasher safe, i recommend hand washing. If you stick them in the dishwasher with the seal still inside, it will crack and break on you. It does come with extra seals, for this reason.Overall a great gadget to have, for small households, or with kids. Glad to own this.

Heaven Fresh Air Purifier
Arrived quickly, set up easily and runs continuously. I am using it on the auto setting and noticed the fan automatically changes speed when cooking odors are detected. The XJ-3800 is lighter in weight and easy to relocate within the room while using much less electricity than models I have previously used.

Sound was horrible.
It is too bad this movie hasn't been remastered and put on DVD. The sound was horrible and sometimes there was no sound at all. I realize this is a product of age, but perhaps this movie shouldn't be marketed in its current form.

Review of author as opposed to book?
Just finished submitting a review of Hutton's "Stations of the Sun," then ran across a review of this book by "wyzardd from Colorado" (February 7, 2000). Since he says virtually the same thing here that I said there, and since co-reviewer "A reader from The Former Colonies" made similar observations in May of '99, perhaps we can conclude that Hutton just isn't all he's cracked up to be.

I can add no more to the previous review except to say that this is easily the best new book oc fiction I've read in the last five years, and I read 50-60 books per year. It is better and more genuine than his excellant first book "The Long Home." Read it.

I was really looking forward to this CD but after having received it---and listened to it. Well, if you are a "true" Merle Haggard fan---you will notice the differences in the recordings. I should have saved my money. Most of the recordings are "comprimised" and they are dissappointing. Maybe someday the ORIGINALS will be available again.

See the "sequal"
Tetsuo's II features a less-than-obvious story as well- but it is better written and the effects are 10 times better than this one's (which is understandable).However, Tetsuo does have a lot of the same interesting visuals and is very much a film to go see with fellow film buffs at midnight showings at your local art-theater. An art-house film in every sense of the word, Tetstuo certainly isn't for everyone, and I don't think it's meant to seen alone. Truthfully, I find this film entertaining, I give it a 1 simply because it really isn't a good film, it tries too hard to be prolific and throws out anything that resembles a plot.This is supposedly a black comedy, and except for some sexual-inuendo, there's not much in there (could be a trans. problem though).Incidentally, the short, 'Drum Struck' is equally (if no more-so) weird.

Rip Off - STAY AWAY
This MP3 is only 5 seconds long! It can't even be set to loop/repeat, because it starts out quiet, then gets louder gradualy over the 5 second length, so if you loop it, it just doesnt work because it goes from the peaked loudness to the lowest sound when it starts to repeat itself. How can they charge 99 cents for 5 seconds??? I am ticked at them, and also myself for not noticing it was 5 seconds long.. heh

Works great, but...
Installed fast and clean with no problems. It does what it claims, but you need a good antenna to pull in the FM radio signals. I hooked it up to my TV cable system and it worked great in the analog format, so you can only get about 70 stations. It isn't digital. It would be better if it was digital and also picked up AM radio as well as FM. However, it's worth the money.

Dissapointing
I have to say that I was dissapointed with this movie,although the acting was alright and the begining showed promise it was like the story fizzled out into oblivion and just became plain old silly.The demons at the end were downright ridiculous and very fake.The story had nothigng to do with the original Amityville house,the only thing that was similar was the dollshouse looked the same on the outside.A huge dissapointment I must say,not top quality.

The picture gives the impression these maybe inner canal type headphones, but they aren't. They're the old-fashioned huge bud that pains small ear holes. Had to return these, because neither my wife or I can tolerate those.Since we didn't use them, we have no idea how they sound.

disgusting
I wanted to like this book, I really did! If you'd prefer reading a book series that is mature, lovely, exciting and perceptive, forget Terry Goodkind and pick up almost anything from Carol Berg or most of what David Eddings and Terry Pratchett have written. These authors understand people, they understand tight editing and they are trustworthy in the level of sex/violence. Goodkind's characters are very one-dimensional and the episodes of torture are gratuitous and sickening in parts. The magic does not make sense, either, and I prefer not having to suspend my disbelief quite that much. I finished this book, unfortunately, but put away the next in the series unfinished.I don't recommend Robert Jordan, although he is generally excellent, only because of his three very badly-written books, but I would read any of these three stinkers again before picking up any of Mr. Goodkind's disgusting works of fantasy.

firmware can be corrupted, unrecoverable.
After one year of usage the router starts to have problems. First it drops DSL connection. Then it only works for one pc with static IP and 10Mb after 2 hour conversation with their tech supporter. Then their supporter suggests me to upgrade firmware. Their tech supporter emailed me the firmware, but it can't be loaded to the router. Then the diag light starts to flash which indicates an unrecoverable software problem. Then they tell me the router is dead and if it's over 1 year warranty I will have to buy a better one.According to their tech supporter the firmware can be corrupted. After the corruption there's no reliable way to recover from it because firmware upgrade may not work anymore. I am not sure how their firmware (not hardware) can run into problem and why they don't have a good solution. By the end this is not a hardware problem. How come a software problem can be unrecoverable.So be prepared to run into problem.

I've had this camcorder since Nov. and have used it several times. I love exploring the features and playing around with its different uses. It takes excellent video with excellent color and sound.

Please learn from my 1,000 page mistake and save yourself the time and frustration. This is pure rubbish. Goodkind is indulging in the most childish wish-fulfillment and one dimensional writing I have seen. But if you like sexist, masochistic, predictable, objectivist, preachy, crap... go right ahead.

Remembering My Youth
Island of Saints because is well written, well researched (though I have not followed up on the references), and fast moving. It describes the submarine warfare in the Gulf as I remember hearing about it as a ten to twelve year old boy in Panama City, Florida during WWII.It even mentions the fact that sub attacks were not written up by the Mobile Press Register. I know they were not because I delivered the Mobile Register throughout that period. I read about the war every morning. Nearby sinkings were never mentioned, though fairly reliable reports came through other means.The author preserves his "punchline" with a surprise ending. In addition to being good fiction woven through things that really happened, Andrews has a lesson in forgiveness that can help us all.

Unbearable
Louise Fitzhugh's entertaining children's novel is trashed in this atrocious film. Michelle Trachtenberg displays no talent whatsoever, and succeeds only in being irritating. The miscast (and equally untalented) O'Donnell turns in yet another typically wretched performance. There is no excuse for a cast this bad, or a film this dreadful. Pure tripe from start to finish.

Zen Microphoto Good Buy
This player is definately worth the money, i didn't realize how small it would actually be. I bought it as a gift for my girlfriend since i have a zen touch 20gb nd she didnt need something quite as big. Works great, the only thing i don't like about it that i prefer on my zen touchis that on the microphoto, the scrolling bar for music and volume are the same, so sometimes you'll adjust the volume when you're searching for a song or vise versa. Also to charge the player it has to be connected through the usb cable and won't charge unless your computer is on or you have a laptop and the laptop is being charged. But besides that, if you can get one for $150 like i did, its def a good player for someone that doesn't need to have a ton of songs.

Bad, very bad. And why the horribly illegible track listing?
From the cover art (that is bland at best) to the track listing (that is almost IMPOSSIBLE to read) this album wreaks of worthlessness. There's perhaps only two good tracks, and those have been so overplayed at clubs they aren't even listenable any more. The rest of the CD is just filler noise. Covenant is usually decent, but this album doesn't qualify to even be released. I'd recommend saving your money for some frosted donuts. At least they have tastier filling, and you can just pretend they are an edible Northern Light CD.

Not Shocking - not gruesome - not violent - a lot of hype over nothing
This review is the from the Criterion Edition.Spoiler Alert for horror fans! You watch this expecting a horror film you have spoiled two hours of your life.This is not a horror film. It is not shocking in any sense. There was blood twice and even then it looked fake in the leg scene. If your expectations are a artsy film this may be for you. If you are looking for the promised horror it markets then ugh... Go watch Martyrs. It is still the vanguard for horror brutality and yet retains than 'artsy' feel. (August Underground, Scrapbook, Murder Set Pieces all fall into a different category).I will say the film is beautifully shot and the dialogue is interesting but its just so freaking boring. Between this and Let the Right One in you have the perfect cure for insomnia.

Temperamental scale
We found this scale to be too temperamental. My kids find it amusing that they can gain or lose 10 lbs. in a matter of minutes with this scale. It's too unpredictable to be considered accurate. We like the design, weight and size, but it gives many error messages in addition to the before mentioned problems.

Extremely disappointing read. I had to struggle to finish the book. Unfortunatley, I bought this book because of it's advertising campaign. Huge displays at your local booksore with an add in the USA Today along with a headline that includes the words "Jurassic Park!", I was sucker punched. This book did not have one thrilling tense moment at all. Judging from the other reviews, I'm not alone. I only wish that I had taken heed to everyone's thoughts of wisdom. You've been warned.

The best scare...even 25 years later
This is my favorite movie of ALL TIME! And it continues to give me chills whenever I watch it. No other movie from nearly 30 years ago has ever been able to do so. This is the most terrifying movie ever and it continues to have the same impact it did when it first came out. A young Jamie Lee Curtis really made her mark and began her career with the role that got her deemed the scream queen (a real honor being the daughter of the original scream queen Janet Lee). She followed up this movie with the sequel, although not at great, a really good movie in and of itself. But the original Halloween just cannot be dupicated and no sequel or rip off has ever even come close.

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!
I agree with most of the reviews here.I also grew up with watching the re-runs on Sunday mornings as a kid, and so when we introduced a VHS rented tape to my daughters they loved them. The "talkies" are the only films I'd consider buying and I think most people would only want as well. There was 1 DVD missing (we had two #5 DVD's)and missing the Spanky gang #4 disk. Right now we only have 1 original "talkie" and the rest documentaries and silent movies. I believe the company who produces this DVD set should be ashamed of themselves. They plaster Spanky's images all over all the videos and then we don't even have one of him!!!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS VIDEO (unless you like silent movies and bad documentaries) with film qualities that were bad copies (that are hard on the eyes!!!!We're taking this one back and damanding a refund!!!

Item fine- order direct!
No complaint with the product itself- except for: I received my screen beaten like a red-headed stepchild by the gorillas that handle the freight at the airports- EVIDENTLY. Rather than go through the BS of getting another one shipped, and/or such, I have chosen to repair what I had delivered and encase it in the same type of wood my built-in entertainment center is made of. I highly reccomend dealing with the manufacturer when ordering such as this. I also ordered a ceiling mount for my projector, but denied delivery of a replacement lamp for a different projector type. Amazon's WRONG. I'll be VERY, VERY cautious in utilizing this service ever again. I highly reccomend, once again, each individual manufacturer's website!

Not comfortable!
I just got this pillow to help my hemorrhoid pain. First, it doesn't blow up all the way, and when you think you've got it blown up, the air sucks back into your mouth. It doesn't smell like the other reviewers said. Just smells like normal slight rubber smell if you hold it to your nose. It is not comfortable at all though. Don't bother buying......waste of money. Now I have to look for another one and since they are not returnable, I'm crap out of luck. This is the second pillow I've tried. The first was the contoured (hard) molded foam that felt like I was sitting on a hard chair and was really, really uncomfortable. So now I am looking for a plain, foam (maybe something memory) again. What a wast of money.

Big disaster
I have read every book written by Robyn Carr. I wait until they are out and rush to buy them. This book was one of the worst books I have ever read. In trying to profile each character in the book she wrote a very long and drawn out boring book. I felt like I could not wait for this book to end. She had some great characters but did not seem to know what to do with them. There were parts that I thought Robyn Carr was back and it was an okay read. And than it would drag on and on. I would not ever tell anyone to read this book.

Filling a book quota?
I've read all of Clancy's major fiction and some of the non-fiction, and I am generally a big fan. Unfortunately, I think that he's in an 0-2 slump. Red Rabbit was boring. Teeth of the Tiger is not so much boring as it is not compelling. Maybe Clancy is trying to portray real espionage for what it is, fairly dull. I am far from a literary snob, but I found the conversations to be methodical and forced, and the lack of action - or even tension, to be very apparent.I surely hope for better Clancy soon. I agree with some other reviews that the only purpose of this book seemed to have was to introduce characters for later books. Or maybe TC was just trying to meet a quota.

Just Terrible!!
Poor Whitney. Can there be a WORST R&B album release in 2002, than Whitney's new cd "Just Whitney"? The music on here is not only bad, but she acts like that somebody MADE her record this album. She sound so angry about EVERYTHING, that it was a drag to even listen to this cd. But what is worst about this album is its only about 35 minutes with 10 songs. C'mon now, Whitney. We are in an era where artists do at least 14 songs and about one hour worth of music. She needs Clive Davis back in her career because this album is not happening. Pass on this one, for sure!!!

Outshines Animal Farm and 1984 by 10,000 WATTS
This is an excellent book. After having to read in high school (in the 1970s) both Animal Farm and 1984, I confess that I approached this book with some trepidation. However, Orwell's descriptions of life as a coal miner and his honest thoughts about Socialism, both in defense and in criticism, make me wonder why the English teachers of the early 1970s didn't have us read this book instead. It is much better written and more honest.

Don't buy it...
Don't buy this game. I've been playing it recently, and although the graphics and gameplay aren't bad, everything else is, especially the cameras. When you're playing, the automatic camera angles are horrible, and I find myself often readjusting them manualy. It becomes almost impossible to fight more than two other men at the same time without dying, because you need to see them to shoot them, and therefore have to readjust the cameras; two shots later and I'm dead. Quite frustrating. Also, the game only has 4 guns, a pistol with unlimited ammo, and shotgun with little ammo, a automatic but not very powerful rifle with limited ammo, and a rocket launcher, with only four rockets. There is also C4 explosives. This does not make for very fun gameplay. If I were you, I would put your money towards another first person shooter, such as GoldenEye 007 or something newer.

Profound but sobering impact
I was first introduced to this book in 1970, in a high school class. The concept of "reification", whereby a manmade item is given a cosmic status, was important to me then and still is now. As for some others, the book inspired me to become a sociology major. The thinking, along with the related book The Sacred Canopy, greatly challenged my religious beliefs, as the man-made quality all such beliefs and doctrines becomes apparent. The thinking has also helped me navigate through many conflicts without giving into the man-made reality of the majority. If one truly wants to be an individual, or believes in liberation, this book is essential.

If only there were negative Star ratings
If you liked the original, if you care about Romero's work or like any of it even in the tiniest axon in the darkest corner of your mind, I implore, beg, and plead with you NOT TO BUY OR RENT (OR VIEW FOR FREE) THIS ABSOLUTE HATCHET JOB ON THE ORIGINAL (I'm sorry to shout, but it's warranted). The extra footage sucks and is ludicrous. The new music destroys the movie. You're not event given an opportunity to revert to the original. After watching it, squirming in my Barcalounger, feeling like Alex being force to watch ultraviolence in A Clockwork Orange, I destroyed the CD and burned the pieces. I won't have it in my house. I won't sell it to some poor unsuspecting schmuck. I won't even bury it where some future civilization may find it and judge us by it. DESTROY EVERY COPY YOU CAN FIND --- PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the Better Books that I've Read
This was a beautiful piece of literature that seems to have been woven by the threads of the purest parts of the mind. The author uses words beautifully and in exactly the right context. I love the storyline and the themes. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has enough time to read and not put it down until you've finished! This is wonderful and I am hoping and praying that she writes another book soon.

the master rocks
After Satriani's self-titled, very different-sounding 1995 album, he released this dazzling effort. Crystal Planet is his second-greatest album, right behind Surfing With The Alien, which is THE perfect guitar album. CP has so much magic to it, so many hits, I don't know where to begin. House Full Of Bullets is fun and funky, Crystal Planet breaks the sound barrier, and Love Thing is such a beautiful love song. Anyone who thinks a song has to have vocals to it to get a message across obviously has never heard any of Joe's music. I love everything on here, but my favorite song has to be Raspberry Jam Delta-V. I've come to associate this song with my little girl. This song is playful, spirited and very energetic, just like her. No skips on this one; every song is a gem. Anyone just getting into Joe's music, get Surfing, Super Colossal (his latest) and this masterpiece. Then sit back and enjoy the magic.

Too large for lumbar support
This cushion is far too large (12.5 in long) for a lumbar support - it's more like a too short back support. The top and bottom are not tapered enough, so leaning on it is like resting on a 3" shoe box. Yes, it is uncomfortable, but the odd posture does decrease my back pain. The vibration and heat are similar to that of other vibrating backrests I own (Obus forme, Howemedics), but the price is about $100 less than the Obusforme. I purchased this cushion because I wanted a less bulky, more portable backrest, but I will now carry my Obus forme without complaint.

NOT 3-D!
I think it's HIGHLY DECEPTIVE for Amazon (not to mention the commercial I just saw) NOT to put, in BIG GIANT LETTERS....THIS IS NOT THE 3-D VERSION YOU SAW IN THEATERS!!! WHY even BUY it?! Also, quite a few other reviewers RAVE about the, NOT INCLUDED, 3-D in their reviews. BE MORE HONEST AMAZON!

Fun and Witty
The cover was great, the title was great, so when a friend gave this to me and said that it was one of the first American chick lits, I decided to give it a try. And I'm glad I did. The story was entertaining, the character likeable for the most part (although she seemed to take herself a little too seriously some times), and it was very well written. I will be looking for more chick lit now that I've gotten a taste of these fun books.

Too buggy to love
I really wanted to love this game, but Nintendo and Midway dropped the ball on this one. Graphics are bearable, but they could be much better. The game is buggy as hell and sometimes "cheats" for the computer. I suggest anyone who hasn't bought this game to back away from it very quickly and go buy Advance Wars instead!

No 30-day Demo!
I bought this book for the 30-day demo so I could actually work through the steps to learn the program as the book was designed. However, when I followed the instructions to install the trial version, I was redirected to the Microsoft website where I was told the 30-day demo was no longer available. The software was not on the CD that accompanies the book. The cover of the book states: "CD-ROM includes practice files plus free trial software!" Don't buy this book if you actually want to learn by using the software. You could use it as a reference but there are probably better reference guides available.

Backyard Baseball 2005 is Awesome
This is a really great game. The things that make it a great game are:* It has extremely fun power ups* You can save the season play and have a 32 game career* It has awesome graphics (watch for the cow being lifted into the flying saucer.The things that need improvement are:* I had trouble saving a coach at first because I didn't have priviledges to create a folder outside of My Documents. They should fix that.* That's all until version 2006!

Amazing deal!!
Ordered these boots for my fiance, he turns 26 in a few days. He had a hard time finding a pair of boots he wanted, he is a firefighter and also drives the ambulance on squad nights. He takes the use of his boots a little farther though because his day job is a security guard. His boots get twice as much work as the normal pair, and they fall apart quickly. A friend recommended 5.11. This was the cheapest place we found them! They took a while to arrive, I do believe it was the weight of the package. They WERE delivered before the expected date. Thanks! Great pair of boots for a great price, we will be ordering again.

Not Very Impressed.
10 years ago I bought a similar set of hanging flatware from Bed Bath & Beyond, and 10 years later, it still looks brand new (polished chrome finish).6 months ago I bought this set, and it already looks 20 years old. The knives have rust spots on them from the dishwasher, and the entire set has gone from shiny to dull from my roommates hand washing them with rough sponges. In contrast, the set I got from BB&B; has been washed hundreds of times with 3M pads with no scratching, no dulling.Additionally, this set only has 4 of each item! That means that after 1 meal you have to run your entire dishwasher or you have no silverware...dumb. My other set has 8 of each item...unfortunately afer scouring the internet, it no longer exists and people are stuck buying Walmart quality sets like this one.Now I have to buy a SECOND set just to have enough silverware to not have to run my dishwasher every single day.

Better than Average
The speakers are excellent quality and provide many useful features. The only thing that I would change is the headphone jack in the control speaker. It is useful placement, but has some bugs. You should turn off the speakers when hooking up your headphones, failure to do so results in your headphones having some difficulties and not playing your music, while music still plays out of the other 2 speakers (- the one with the jack). It would be nice if the speakers recognized that you were putting in headphones and automatically compensated for it.But that being my only complaint, no complaints with quality of sound or ability to reach high volumes without distortion, it is an excellent speaker system. I would highly recommend for people who want good quality speakers but don't wish to spend a lot for a home theater or have the room for a 5 speaker set up.

XTC and They Might Be Giants take in some LA air & get funky
Gegg and Tah throw in everything but the kithen sink (including noise and pre-adolescent poetry), and come out with an involving debut album. They think, but they don't make a big deal about it. There are slow spots, but overall this one's worth having.

Excellent value
I bought four of these buckets for my parrots. I hung them inside the cages and filled them with foot toys and toy parts. They clean up easily and they're well built. I've used them for several months now with absolutely no complaints. My birds absolutely adore their "toy boxes" and spend hours digging out the toys and playing with them. I have another of these buckets that I use for yard work, to scoop things like grass seed out of big heavy bags to spread around the yard.

Tedious and repetitive nonsense
I swear I'd rather kill myself than listen to this book again!! I couldn't tolerate again this hell of a book with this tedious author rumbling about the theory to prove that happiness is just a concept that can vary from people to people, he means, what's to be happy to me can mean not to be happy to you and so on and so forth. The book is totally unnecessary and could be resumed in just a phrase or two. Still, the most annoying characteristic of the book is the repetitiveness of the damn word "volunteers". I imagine that the author spoke the word volunteers at least 100 times or more. It hurt my ears, his talking about something and "volunteers" blablabla and again, talk another concept and "volunteers" blablabla and again,....This is by far, one of the worst books I've read in my entire life!! I don't know if I could have done better with the paperback, as his voice annoyed me so much, but I suppose the word volunteer could have irritated me a bit less.

Interview With a Vampire
I found what I liked most about this book is Anne Rice's use of description and setting. She uses both to set the atmosphere and tone of this novel. The dark atmosphere and the ominous tone create a deep, underlying desperation within the characters. I've watched the movie and now read the book. I've enjoyed both.

Perfect
This study on the Mississippi Delta is a great addition to the study of folklife. Ferris uses the tools of this interdisciplinary to deconstruct this genre.

Loud... Occasionally...
This is a very weird horn. It can be loud, but it isn't always. When its warm outside, this thing is plenty loud. If its rainy or snowy, not so much. I don't know exactly why that is, but thats how it works. Was a pain to install, but that is no fault of the manufacturer. I'm actually considering getting another one, just so they will be consistently loud enough. The tone is very cool (I think) but my wife says it makes my car sound like its carrying either clowns or rainbows.

This is the one you need
As you can read from other reviews, this book is the one reference that is used most during the PE exam (very true). The subjects are well organized with many example problems; however, I did catch some errors. The book is very much geared towards the test and I found even the most obscure items somehow referenced in the text. If you plan on doing extensive study I recommend buying the solutions manual to the sample problems as a study guide to help work through the civil engineering disciplines that you do not practice.

Heaven
I didn't die but nevertheless went to heaven on playing this gorgeous album. The orchestrations are so beautiful they brought tears to my eyes. I'm an old fart who prizes melody above all. What passes for such these days mostly leaves me cold. But this album almost passes belief with the beauty of Domingo's wonderful voice, sensitively controlled, in no way overpowering but bringing out the full emotion contained in the lyrics. The trio of waltzes from Puerto Rico and Peru will make your knees weak.

Absolutely fantastic!
All the Specially Yours greeting card papers make terrific cards. Last year I made stunning, professional-looking customized cards for my family and friends and you could not tell they had not been store bought. And this was my first attempt! With a little practice, imagination and a good printer, you never need buy greeting cards again! Specially Yours are the best I've used and are getting hard to find, which is very sad. There is very reasonably priced card-maker software out there, too, which you'll also need to make it easier. Have fun!
