Awesome MP3 player for kids
I bought the 1st generation shuffle when it was on sale for $48 for my 6 year old brother. It's a christmas present... It is by far the best music player for kids you can buy. It holds more than enough music for a kid, is small, durable, has a long battery life, and extremely easy to use. The main reason why I chose the 1st generation shuffle is b/c of its ease of use. It's as simple as it gets, on, play, louder, softer, and next song. I even bought one for myself because it's so small and portable + for $48, you can't beat it! The sound quality is also excellent!

Not for those that already have the factory manuals.
If your restoring your own camaro, (and you do your own restoration work) you'd think this would be a good book to get. However, if your like me, you already own the GM overhaul/chasis manual, the fisher body manual, the wiring diagram and the factory assembly manual. I bought this book thinking it would aid me in restoring my camaro. Instead, this book is nothing but a bunch of diagrams/clips taken from the books mentioned above but in much less detail.I am surprised the other two reviews were real positive because if you already have the factory manuals, it renders this book useless and quite lacking. This book does have a good bit of facts and codes but if your looking for that type of info, go for the Big Book of Camaro Data.For real "how to" type applications and in a step-by-step procedure in bringing your camaro back to life I recommend the Camaro Restoration Handbook by Currao and the Camaro Owner's Handbook by Sessions. Check 'em out.

You will want to see this again and again
This is not the type of dvd I would normally purchase. More often than not, I would seek out a rock opera, or a folk festival, or perpaps even a woodstock retrospective. But I took a flyer with David Foster, and could not have been more satisfied. In fact, I was watching it tonight for the third time in three nights. It is a mastepiece concert with several jewels. The "Prayer" with Andrea Bocelli and Katherine McPhee is one for the ages. As an unapoligetic American Idol fan, I never imagined Katherine sounding like this with one of the greats of out time. And Josh Grobin, with You Raise Me Up inspires all. This is not the kid we remember from Allie McBiel. Among these masterpieces are sprinkled good performances fom Boz Scaggs, Michael Buble and Brian McNight. Those of you with Blue Ray will enjoy the crisp sound and picture quality. Buy this Blue Ray DVD and enjoy it again and again.Wayne

It's a rip off
I bought this CD because Michael's first CD is great. This one only has 7 cuts with 3 so-called bonus songs. My normal equipment won't allow me to hear the "bonus" ones. He has a nice voice, but I wish I hadn't bought this one.

Lovely fabric, but sizing problems make it nearly useless
Even before washing (and shrinking!), this sheet is way too tight for a standard Stokke mattress. It is made of lovely fabric, but the sizing problem is really a shame because it renders the sheet nearly useless. The sheet arrives a bit too small for the standard mattress. Then, after washing, it shrinks even further. It can be used, but it takes two people to stretch it over the mattress carefully. Very frustrating, especially for the price!This is especially irritating as the special oval Stokke crib (which we LOVE) doesn't have very many options for bedding. We ended up buying high quality king size flat sheets and using the fabric to sew fitted sheets for the crib.

Great read.
I can sum up my views on this collection of essays in a single sentence.*I truly feel that after reading this work,I have a much more intimate relationship with Jesus personally, and a far more enlightened idea of the man himself*Some may say that not having a table of contents is a detractor, but let us be honest. We purchased the free version. Be thrifty, use the contents page at the beginning for title references. Then spend a few moments before you begin reading putting in some highlights on the chapter titles as you scroll. Not difficult at all. I would recommend to the more intellectual of my associates. It takes a bit of thought to really analyze all of the points in the book. Outstandingly worded for a book published in the twenties.

Excellent.
Dr. Baldor's "Algebra" and "Arithmetics" are an excellent reference for those young students interested in having strong basic math skills. Honestly, if it wasn't for these books, I wouldn't have succeeded in engineering school.One of the most interesting things about Dr. Baldor's books is that the first editions were published more than fifty years ago. My father, who is also an engineer, used Dr. Baldor's books during high school and regards them as one of the best books he ever used during his schooling years.Five stars.P.S.: The short biographies at the beginning of every chapter in "Algebra" were always fun!

Classic finally out on Blu-Ray
This predecessor to "The West Wing" -- Sorkin's future work can be seen in many layers here -- is at long last on Blu-Ray. Not a lot of extras, but the transfer is strong, and the BD has taken so long to get to market I'm just gonna have to put the special edition with extras on my "someday nice to have" list.

Very cheap looking and the solar charger and led light are very cheap/poor. Also, the LED light is so dim, it barely lights up at all.Wouldn't recommend it. (I paid $4.23 ... which made it just acceptable to keep)

A song for the ages
This is a beautiful story with rich music. I have owned the VHS for years and about worn out the copy. I would love to see this in DVD format, because my copy is beginning to fade. I love the music and it is a wholesome story I would like to share with my family.

Pretty good...
This was a pretty good book. It's not the best in the series though. Ben Holiday once again surprises us all with his relentless strokes of LUCK. However, this was a good story with all the characters you love from Magic Kingdom for Sale-SOld. A good, light-hearted adventure.

A Stunning, Evocative Masterpiece
Until tonight, I had not listened to this CD for nearly 10 years. But for some reason, after learning that my two year old daughter's best friend was moving back to France, I was reminded of this recording. The music on this CD is nothing short of the soundtrack of the loss of innocence, evoking the emotions of man from childhood to old age as life fleetingly passes him by. My daughter loses a playmate, and I lose close, dear friends. "The Innocent Age" presaged my feelings on this occasion, musically capturing some of the most essential and fundamental of human feelings.

Paul is WAY better than this one
Paul is definitely a big talent and I enjoy almost every album of his including those with the Beatles. But, this one is just too difficult to listen to. His previous album, Tug of War, was sooo good and this to follow was a major let down. A couple of good songs but not worth the price.

needed book
I am very happy to have this book because it makes sense of all the basic graphics functionality, which is barely explained in the API docs. Maybe if you know graphics already you already know some things in here but I don't know 3D computer graphics and am having some fun learning it along with Java3D. I recommend this book for people in my situation. Since there are no other books I don't know what to recommend for poeple who already knows advanced graphics.

Good premise can't save bad writing
Okay, in the interest of full disclosure, I'm not generally a reader of murder/suspense books. I picked this up because I thought the premise was interesting and read some decent reviews. A serial killer who goes around killing other, "bad", serial killers. Could be great, right?The premise is good, but the writing is just terrible. I couldn't even finish it. I get it -- the narrator (Dexter) has no real feelings but he can fake them really well. He doesn't recognize/acknowledge other people's realities, only his own. How do I know this? Because the author tells me this (in pretty much these exact words) over and over again starting on page 1. A little bit of "Show, don't tell" would have made a world of difference here.It's too bad, I really wanted to like it.

remarkably poor
The characters are flat, setting is never quite right, and the computer discussions are way off. DNA computers able to crack the best military codes in no time? The authors clearly confused DNA for quantum. Code compiled with magic that allows it to break through the toughest firewall? Gibson wrote both more imaginative and accurate stuff on his type writer more than twenty years ago.I'm glad I borrowed this book from a friend.

Dictionary-style fabric reference is indispensable
I don't know how I lived without this book. It's a thorough discussion of how to pre-wash, mark, interface, and sew most of the fabrics a home sewer will encounter. It's organized dictionary-style, so that you can open the page (flat!) to "Silk Chiffon" and find immediately the appropriate thread, stitch length, needle, presser foot, and pre-treatment for your project, as well as the helpful advice to "Never sew silk chiffon in a hurry! It will always go wrong on you."Indispensable to even experienced seamstresses; I've been sewing on and off for thirty years, and this book had tips I didn't know, such as that some fabrics have incremental shrinkage, and must be washed and dried twice before you cut them out.

Great Guest, Terrible Interviewer
Louise Hay is usually an excellent speaker, but this interviewer was AWFUL. He talked too much (without saying anything of value), and his inappropriate questions showed that he was unfamiliar with Louise's philosophy and lacked the basic interviewing skills to bring out her usual words of insight. I have no idea why this interview was saved and is being sold as a tape. Try one of the other Louise Hay tapes instead - most are excellent.

Not worth the $
My home has been through two of theses already. The first one we went to buy it together. I figured I did not need an expensive one because I only have 3 small rooms of carpet. No need to go crazy with expensive ones. It did not last a year. We went through two belts and those are no big deal change but the minute you open up the machine you take out the roller it seems like it doesn't sit right after it. I called up Dirt devil and they could do nothing for me since the warranty was up. The price they wanted me to pay to fix it I could of bought another machine. Which we did. I thought that maybe I did not install the belts right when changing them on the first one so I bit the bullet to buy the more improved version of the vacuum I had.I still have the second one here it has been almost a year and no problems with the belts but it doesn't seem to pick up anything. I guess the life of this vacuum is only a year . Don't waste your money on this vacuum.

Very Ordinary
This book didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know about hair care just from owning curly hair and wearing it curly for the last 23 years. The directions for making the hairstyles were very difficult to follow - I saw a hairstyle in the book and tried to duplicate it, but the instructions Ouidad had given confused me and the style didn't turn out. It kind of bothered me that she gave instructions for straightening hair. I want to make my curls look better, not damage my precious hair with straightening treatments! Overall, I was bored and annoyed with this book. Curly Girl is a lot better.

The best boxing game out there.
The game is most definately the best boxing game of all time, but that doesn't say much. The game needs more boxers to choose from, I mean how can you make a boxing game and exclude Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson or George Foreman! Nothing (bad) about this game, dont get me wrong, it just needs improvement, hopefully 2003 will be better.

WARNING DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG TVs :designed to breakdown after using it for 1 year
I purchased this TV for my office and never used it for one year because no one at the office had time to watch TV. We started using it occasionally during lunch time/ breaks for 1 year, it started making clicking sounds when we tried to turn it on. I called samsung and they asked for model number and when I told them they immediately responded by offering to repair one time for free. They took my information and told me service tech will contact me to schedule a repair. No one called for one month. I called again and they said they assumed I had fixed the problem myself. When I told them I had this problem with TV, they were very familiar with it and again took down my information. Do I think they will fix my TV by next month?Well all I can say is SAMSUCK!

Racist!!!!
After the death of her parents, this rascal woman decides to go to India from Ireland. The mode she uses is a bicycle. We don't hear much about her journey through Europe and she only starts yapping away to glory from Persia onwards. And what an yap. Everyone is either lazy, poor, dirty, smelly, black, brown, infected with lice and have nothing to do with water. Sweeping Generalization, unbridled racism, patronizing attitude towards natives makes her a regular nutcase and this book a SM read for South Asians! Again, I doubt whether some of her stories are really true, I can't believe that Customs of so many countries were so lax as to let her get away with a revolver!

Wonderful Mixer
I previously owned the 4.5 quart kitchenaid mixer. I started baking cakes for friends and family and the capacity size just wasn't big enough. My husband surprised me with this one and I am truly amazed. It holds what seems like twice the batter and is much more powerful than my smaller model. The pourshield is easy to get on and off and is fantastic. I would certainly recommend this mixer to anyone. The only downside is that it takes up a little more room on the countertop. Enjoy.

Oh yeah, CeCe!!
Great album! Haven't stopped playing it since I purchased it. Am a huge Winans fan, particularly of BeBe & CeCe (together) and CeCe (alone).This is a nice mix of sounds, some have an R&B flair and some have a contemporary gospel sound. Very nice.Does a cover of Kayla Parker's (Special Gift -- if you haven't got it, get it!) "More Than Just A Friend," nicely done. The duet with big brother, Marvin Winans, on a cover of an old Winan's outing "Bring Back The Days Of Yea And Nay" is priceless!Great stuff! Toe-tappin', head-boppin', finger-snappin'! Love it!

disappointment
I am very disappointed on this book. I bought it for two reasons. First, it is Scott Cunningham's. Second, I needed a book to farther my knowledge in Wicca. It presented less ideas or feedback than the other books I've read on the same subject. The best thing on this book is the statement that one can approach Wicca individually. I believe that the younger generation or the teens will be more irritated at this book. It does not contain good spells. It does not teach or give ideas how to integrate crystals, herbs,oils, etc. while doing a spell or ritual. Teen-agers will have more participation in this craft if it shows the adventures in spell or rituals. Nevertheless, I think that Witches should still buy other books that Mr. Cunningham has written for more knowledge involving Witchcraft.

I cannot stand the way the book is layed out. Bolding words throught their text that have no real stand out value is what really ticks me. An there detail is bad.... example is variable types, there is about 2 lines on the subject.I had an issue on dataset and datatable, its non existant in the text.I can't believe I spent $85 on this text.

Looses your interest after a while.
I was at first reluctant to read this book since it was an Oprah book club selection, but I read it anyway since it was so highly recommended from friends. The story is a very touching one about a "vertically challenged" woman who struggles to live with her difference in a "tall" society. The story is interesting but then halfway through the book it turns into a war novel depicting stories of what it was like to live in Germany as a Jew in World War II. I think that Hegi should've stuck to one story line. The novel seemed to be divided into two different strories that went on for too long. It was hard to finish it.

Expensive, but the most effective spot carpet cleaner.
I have several pets, including an elderly cat that almost daily has GI problems such that she throws up on the carpet. Nothing can be found physically wrong with her except a sensitive stomach, but this has proven to be the only carpet cleaner that has been able to completely take up the stains. The added brush is a considerable help, but finding the cleaner in the stores has proven difficult, though I did recently find it at Walmart (at a higher price). It tends to cost more than I like, thus the 4 stars, but it works AS LONG AS you make sure to get to the stain quickly. If you wait a few days and let it sit, then it will prove difficult to get it completely removed, but then this is the case with almost any carpet cleaner.

favorite pair of pants!
I love this pair of pants. I've wore it just about everyday now even during the summer! Its thick and strong but not overy hot during the summer.Sizing though is different than other pants. I ordered a 38x34 I wear 36inch waist in all my pants but had to go a size up to 38. I also have a 34 inch inseam. When I measured these pants they came in at 35 inches from crotch seam to bottom of the leg. I did a quick hot water wash and the highest setting on the drier. The waist didn't shrink but the leg shrank down an inch to a perfect size.

An absolute waste of paper...
This is the first book that I have read by Candace Bushnell and I was very disappointed. Instead of wasting the paper it was printed on, the story should have instead been made into a cheesy Lifetime movie starring Tori Spelling. The plot was slow, boring and predictable while the main characters were detestable. Don't waste your time reading this book!

Dallas had already run out a steam by Season 13. Now in 14 with many of the original characters gone, it's a pale and pointless ghost of itself. But I bought it to complete the set, if only to get one more glimpse of the magnificent Linda Gray as a Sue Ellen who never met JR.

Great companion to the original DVD release
Still a great movie. That fact has been established already, no need to address that here.I liked the George Martin interview...interesting! The extras on the disc get quite monotonous. They might as well interviewed the janitor who cleaned up Lennon's puke.....all kidding aside...Miramax was really scraping up interviews to make this a 2 cd affair.Other reviews have nailed this recent package well. Like where is the "Running, Jumping, Standing Still" movie and the Beatle numbers not included in the actual film.The sound leaves something to be desired. I prefer my original Hard Day's Night dvd when the sound was in 2.0 not the 5.1 surround. Believe it or not the 2.0 sounded much better than this new mix of 5.1!I didn't know they filmed this movie in widescreen...my original dvd version is not in widescreen.All in all this new packaging and audio mix leaves ALOT to be desired and is not a be all end all statement to a classic like A Hard Day's Night.

Most complete reference book on bobwhites! Period.
Wildlife managers, landowners, hunters and anyone else interested in ensuring bobwhites thrive on their property will find Dr. Fred Guthery's newest book, On Bobwhites, an invaluable resource.The man known as "Mr. Bobwhite" has all the bases covered in his latest publishing endeavor. On Bobwhites provides a wealth of information in a single volume. If you could only have one book on the bobwhite quail, this should be that book. It is extremely well organized into four sections containing 55 short chapters, making it easy to check the table of contents and find reference to most any question on quail.

A Superb Book which brings past and present together
American Prophecies is a superb book which brings past and present together so that we may have a knowledge of future events. This book is a historical timeline of the nation Israel and our (United States) dealings with them. It combines actual events and Biblical prophicies to show the importance of America staying in the will of God. It is a book that I will read over and over and will use it as a reference tool. The book has a ton of factual information which would take an individual many years to compile. IT IS A MUST FOR BIBLICAL SCHOLARS.

DOES NOT PLAY ON MY REGULAR DVD
I am so upset right now! this DVD does not play on my regular DVD player. The cover of the DVD is printed in Italy, the DVD comes and was shipped from Italy. I wanted the English version, as of now, i do not know if the DVD's audio is in English or Italian because it doesn't work AT ALL. Maybe if i was leaving in Italy would work but for some unknown reason this is a bad purchase, i DO NOT RECOMMEND this DVD at all! i was looking forward to get it on the mail for such a long time, i was excited to put this movie on for my toddler boy, since i know Pinocchio sends a positive message to children, and that's why i feel so frustrated that this seller is knowingly putting this out for sale. Amazon needs to make arrangements with sellers like this one! too bad, i know i wont get my $ back and neither my son could watch his movie! DECEPTION !!!

For those of you who remember when Corningware was not just ceramic, this will come as a huge disappointment. This is very fragile, and prone to break at a moment's notice.

This is an original type of spy movie and was very good.
This one was original because it shows a perspective of national security or spying that no other movie I've seen has depicted. Basically one guy was in charge of the whole British dept along with a small team under him. Everyone else was below that, figuratively and literally--on lower floors of the building. Whereas moles and missions are more fun and exciting in other movies of the type, in this one they're more realistic and the details are thought out better. But I was also not bored at any point.And the guy who's relegated from the spy world to teaching kids was a great touch. An untamed man who had known comradeship and sailed the wild seas, so to speak, thrown back in with kids and able to show them how Englishmen aught to be and to bring along one of the outcast kids a little bit. That was a small part of the movie but, again, really a great touch. Classic British culture.

terrific kettle!
I recently bought the T-Fal kettle for use at home; I also have the Hamilton Beach model at work. They are both very reliable, but I especially like the T-Fal because its hinged lid is easier to use, and its design makes it an attractive addition to the kitchen counter. It's very fast, just as the name implies, and the tea tastes great!

A "Thin" Cable
Interesting subject, but not a well-told. Given the book's short length, about 220 pages, he devotes a surprising amount of the book to backgrounding. In a book of this length, you really have to cut to the chase. For instance, we get 20 pages, or a little less than 10% of the book, describing the history of the Great Eastern, the massive ship that finally laid the cable. And a number of pages devoted to the family of Cyrus Field, the man who came up with the whole idea. Why? Not every fact, newpaper article, and speech that a researcher finds is relevant. Needs focus.

Great Show!!
I haven't seen a "Tales From The Crypt," episode since I was a kid, it was great to see them in all their complete glory on amazon. What a great deal.

Waste of brain cells
Could have been smart and clever like Talladega Nights. It's not, pathetic pandering and stereotypical 1 dimensional characters. Ferril can do better.

A feast for the eyes
What fabulous photographs! Many of them in colour and close up to show the beautiful detail! Anyone who has a interest in royalty or jewels will love this book. I certainly do. Munn writes an informative text as well and makes for an interesting read.

Stinkarooey!
When I think of all of the great movies that so many people are wondering and asking why isn't this movie on DVD yet and then I see that an awful movie like Caveman which is horrible is on DVD all I can say is something's not right about that! I can't believe the great Ringo Starr would even want to be in this movie and Shelley Long why was she wasting her talent in this dreck? Now I have seen some movies that were so bad they were good and funny to watch but Caveman is so bad it's bad.

Who needs a book like this?
If you consider fixing your car yourself, this book is not going to help you. Well, I should have known... it covers the 6-cylinder, 8-cylinder and the diesel engine, which means that the book would have to be at least 3 times as thick to be any good. So if you are curious to know how things work in your car, but plan on having your repairs done at a shop, this book is great. But then, why would you even bother reading about it? I still wonder who could get any use out of this book... Any ideas?

The Alphabet/El Alfabeto
My daughter was having trouble getting the alphabet down in her Spanish class. I remembered that I had this book, and we pulled it out and began going over it consistently. In no tme did she finally master it and got an A in her class on the test. Because of the way that the book was written, we were both able to learn the alphabet and other words that were in it, and now both of my children want me to continue getting books like these by this author so that they can learn more. They have a lot of Spanish friends, and have enjoyed practicing what they have learned from these books. These books are simple enough for a small child, and informative enough for an adult like me to pick-up the language.

Absolutely love these pots
I really wanted All Clad but are you kidding? Not at that price. So read reviews online and was steered toward these. I have had them about a year and use them every day and love them. They are very heavy duty, and heat very evenly. Unlike pots that have the disk in the bottom, they can still burn on the lower edge if your flame is too high. These don't do that.Very impressed with the fit and finish, great cookware for the money.

Really creepy indie horror flick
Really dark and creepy. Some of the stuff was really disturbing and shocking. I highly recommend this film if you want a creepy indie.

TOO BIG
You have to put it together with 3 screws onto the hitch insert. Then it wouldn't fit under the bumper on my F250. The top of the flag hits the bumper. Waste of money.

straight hair! love chi! 1 inch is better though
the 2inch chi is good but i've gone back to using my 1 inch chi, which i feel makes my hair look better, straighter, and more volume in my hair. teh 2inch is convient to straighter your hair faster but then teh one inch is great to go over your hair with because its's more versatile. If you dont have both, like i do, then i would recommend you buy the 1 inch chi. it tkes me 5-10 minutes to do my hair perfectly and it is def. worth the money.

Bottom line: Not recommended unless you are very bored.
An Ivy league gradueate in his mid-thirties sought to stop his intellectual slump (currently a Entertainment Weekly editor) by reading the entire Enclopaedia Britannica and to become the smartest person in the world. It was catchy for about the first 50 pages with fun facts and his deliberate, and often time awkward, attempts to impress his friend with his newly acquired knowledge.From then on, the selected facts and his "epiphanies" grew less and less interesting and a growing frequency of his infertility, or his concern of maybe he was infertile, emerges. In the end, his wife did conceive and bear his child, he skimmed through the entire Britannica in about a year, he did not become the smartest person, he thought the experience is worthwhile (perhaps because he was able to write a book about the whole saga and profit from it). There you have it, the big spoiler of the finale.Bottom line: Not recommended unless you are very bored.

Aye,Lords and Ladies,This is a Great CD
This is by far the best Scottish/Celt Music I have ever heard ( and I sell music in my shop and hear hundreds of New artists a month)This music will take you back to the Renaissance times of Scottland. I just cannot rave enough about this mans music. I hope he makes many more CD`s in the future with as much heart as he did with this one. Cheers, Gypsi in Ohio

What's That Smell?
After being swept away by "In Loving Memory Of ..." back in 1997, I bought this CD on pure faith and earlier reviews. With regards to this release all I can say is: This CD makes sulfur smell pleasant. I honestly cannot recommend a single song to anyone.I bought this CD used, and even at that price, payed too much. Don't make the same mistake.Interested in this CD? Cover the postage and I'll send you mine.

Doesn't explain the how's/why's of Premiere editing
Being new to NLE editing, I bought Premiere Pro and this book. Unfortunately, the books simply tells the user to click this, and drag that. But it does not say WHY the user is doing these actions. I could follow most of the examples in the book, but couldn't figure out how to actually use the program for my own projects! For me, I need an explanation of why I'm supposed to click/drag/type instead of a "march-in-lockstep" and don't ask why mentality!

Too long -- should have been a magazine article
I was looking forward to this book, but was diappointed with it once it was over. I felt that too much of it was filler. Had she trimmed 200 pages she would have had a concise, facinating article on the development of American cuisine. Instead, it's watered down. This would have made a killer cover story for Food & Wine, Bon Appetit or Saveur, but as a book it's too ambitious.

Surprisingly good
Well, I think it has been said in previous reviews but I was genuinely surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. It is heart warmingly funny and the format just works. It barely registers that you are not reading a traditional narrative because you really feel like you get to know the characters. So well, in fact, you may forget that you aren't reading a "catch up" letter from your friends. I feel like I have to go back now and read the rest of Kluger's novels. I am a little wary I may not enjoy anything else he writes as much.

Good for a laugh, and that's about it.
Reality TV shows has given way to people having a good 15 minutes of fame, and William Hung is perhaps the epitome of that. After his embarrassing performance of "She Bangs" on American Idol, he was given a record deal, something that required no talent to do.With his fresh off-the-boat accent and off-key singing, Hung is perhaps as bad or worse than karaoke night in a bar. He is perhaps a humanized version of the Asian stereotype. Seeing that he has no talent, he can't even write his own songs, so instead he has to butcher classic (and some already bad) songs such as Hotel California. In this CD, he has preludes and interludes of him speaking words of inspiration, which do nothing but to inspire you to plug your ears. The CD could be considered a comedy record, because it might make you laugh, and that's why I say to take a listen to it, even though his 15 minutes of fame have died a long time ago.

Garbage
To add to numerous complaints about this machine posted on Amazon, the timer does not work - it blinks lights and the LCD screen and then turns the machine off. Even manual operation is not possible. The machine needs to be unplugged for an hour or so to be usable again. This renders the whole concept of this contraption useless since I cannot pre-set it to grind and make coffee automatically, which was the only reason I bought it. Do not waste your money on this poorly designed piece of garbage.

A Collection of Eclectic Poems Followed by Tales of Suspense
This book captured my imagination all the way through out. The poetry spoke of many of the feelings that we all struggle through day to day. They celebrate the good of our lives and commiserates with you on the parts that we would sometimes like to forget. There are even hints of worldly pleasures within some of the poems. A so called, "modern day Song of Solomon".The tales capture your imagination and string you along so that you forget that you are reading and feel like you are living them yourself. One is a tale of utter surprise and the other of pure suspense. Both lead you to an unforgettable ending, one of which your not sure is over!I highly recommend this book to those who like something a little off the beaten path. For those that are tired of reading the same old romance, mysteries and "who-done-it's".

Worked perfectly with a Mac Mini
This was just about half the price of the "for Macintosh" Logitech webcam also sold on Amazon - but I read some of the reviews and purchased it anyway. Intended application was for a 2 year old Mac Mini. Sure enough, the webcam worked perfectly out of the box with no need to install any software or drivers.

dn't know if it works or not
I bought these things because I really hate silverfish in my apartment. Before I used them I only found silverfish in my bathroom. At first I put a big one (for large room) in the living room and one week later I found a silverfish on the wall just 1 foot distance from this repeller. After that I got two for medium room and I put one in my bedroom and one in my bathroom. Several weeks later I found one silverfish in my bedroom (near the repeller) then I thought these things might be pest attractors. So I unplugged the one in my bedroom and put it in the kitchen. But I still found silverfish in my bedroom and bathroom, and living room, but no one in the kitchen until now. Hmm, now I think these stupid things are just night lights.

Hmmmm.....
I absolutely love Jimi but this box set is not the best. My point is you can buy "Are You Experienced?","Axis: Bold As Love","Electric Ladyland" and "The Ultimate Experience" for a cheaper price than this box set. It's just not worth it. Great songs, though.

Absolutly Breathtaking
When I first heard about Pocahontas back in 1994, I knew Disney wouldn't do the story justice. Boy was I wrong. This movie has beautifully crafted visuals, strong leading characters, and wonderful music. Though for me the music works on two levels. One, of course, the obvious "Disney" songs, which get better or worse depending on the movie. Colors of the Wind is the best Disney song to date. Also the pop song If I Never Knew You blew me away. And two, the underlying soundtrack perfomed by Alan Menken. The music was absolutly riviting, as it has to be to convey the serious emotions Disney was going for. A bit depressing in it honesty of hate and love, this movie shows that animated movies can convey more emotions than just laughter.

Flimsy quality, dead on arrival
I've had plenty of external USB hard drive enclosures and needed to cheaply pick up one more for a spare drive, so I figured this one would do the job as well as any. Not quite. I was a bit turned off by the loose feeling connection between the enclosure and my hard drive as well as the fact that the plastic was flaking off literally as I was putting it all together, but I wasn't expecting a top quality product for $17. I *was*, however, expecting it to at least work. I've tried this enclosure with both Windows XP and Linux, with one or both of the USB plugs on the Y-cable connected, every USB port on my computer, praying ... Besides the little green light on the enclosure lighting up, nothing else happens and the computer just doesn't see the new hardware at all. So right back to Amazon this enclosure goes.
