Question: Don't forget the first one to...

Both of these movies are amazing, though I was all too happy that I was able to see El Mariachi before either of them.  The first movie was done almost entirely volunteer with a budget that barely covered the cost of the ammunition -- and yes, at that shockingly low price-tag -- it was that good that it rated two sequels!
Lots of southwest machismo flavor, guns, musicians, tragic love, what more could one want from a movie aiming for the top of the genre.
Desperado first disjointedly continues from El Mariachi (believe me, if you saw E.M. first, you would have at least a few confused moments when viewing Desperado the first time).  Once Upon a Time in Mexico picks up from where Desperado left off and the flash backs throughout the third movie do a reasonable job and tying the series together.  The plots for all three are fantastical and legend, but all three movies work the genre style for all they are worth and end up way way way on top.  Did I mention the astounding cast?  It's not just the stars -- they've pulled out some pretty legendary supporting actors to boot.
Five stars for the fact that in addition to being astoundingly fabulous movies -- each one of the three is able to stand as a solid movie unto itself without the other two.  Four stars for the set -- only because the set doesn't include El Mariachi, which I think everyone should watch at least a few times.  I think it is about time that El Mariachi garners due royalties along with its American companion sequels...

Question: Great backpack....especially for the price!

I've only been using it a week, but I have put it through a lot in that week.  I'm on crutches temporarily, so I have to put everything for work in there and can't carry another bag, so it has gotten a work out.  I have also gotten several compliments on it as well.

Zippers holding up well. Easy to get organized with the various pockets and the three different sizes meet many different needs depending on how I'm traveling.

Good look. The drawers are very handy. It's no different than other 'some assembly required' furniture on the market.

It is relevant to bring to your attention that the hardware is exposed (you can see the screw-heads, and it would not be as durable as a solid piece.  Nevertheless, for the money, I'm quite pleased.

My daughter loves her desk! It was easy to assemble and perfect for our budding artist. I would recommend it to anyone.

Question: Not enough quality for the buck

I have bluetooth in my car, so I thought this for the price would be as comparable. NOT so, it works, but you have to turn it up so loud to hear it, and so they can hear you. It does activate each time you get in and out of the truck. So I will say it works, just not nearly as good as factory. I expected more for the price, but it will work until I decide to get an vehicle with bluetooth.

Question: A handy protective case

I highly recommend this product.  I chose this case over other styles and makes because I wanted two accomplish two things. First I wanted to protect my Kindle from scratches and other damage. Second, I wanted somewhere to store my stylus and earphones. It's a tight fit storing my Kindle with these two items, but it works.  If I had not bought this case, I know I would constantly be looking for my stylus and earphones just as I do my reading glasses.

Fit my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 9.7 perfectly.  It's all I need to keep it safe and doesn't add extra weight or bulk.

Question: The poster is cool, but this was a real disappointment

As everyone knows this is the last TNG movie, so essentially the last movie in the best series that I've ever seen on television. The special effects are excellent; some of the action is really good; Picard is awesome as always...but other than that...
This movie was an incredible disappointment for me. The plot is thin, the notion of character determined by genetics, which has the potential to really become interesting, instead is reduced to triteness because it no one ever explores it beyond the basic ideas that everyone already has about it, and the whole thing basically feels dissociated from the rest of the series.
For some reason, all of the actors seemed fatter now.
And that would be okay, but it's just that there is nothing monumentally final about "a generation's final journey." This feels like an extended episode--admittedly, a criticism often brought against all Star Trek movies--but for this one I think it's spot on. It's a substandard sci-fi action movie that lacks TNG's affinity for philosophical discussion, deep plotlines on two-part episodes, and involvement of the entire cast. Generations was about paradise and expulsion, and finding one's self and the believable insanity of Malcolm McDowell, and Data finding his emotion and it had Klingons and space battles and the Nexus. First Contact was about sophisticated plotlines where the action was integral and where our knowledge of the characters was drawn from the show. It was about visiting the past and uncovering the oft-alluded to, but never explicitly stated, trek elements. Insurrection was about love and immortality, about the exile of family. I don't know what Nemesis is about. Genes? That hardly receives sufficient interesting treatment. Family? Shinzon is a tacked on new character that we've never seen before, with no history with Picard. Endings? True, the sacrifice at the end is powerful, but there is this feeling that it has been wasted...like it could have been done for so much more. Ships have been on the verge of exploding hundreds of times in this show, so why this time did someone we love have to die? And Shinzon, this character with no history and in which we are not invested at all, is to insignificant to deserve the title of "nemesis". Even if the idea of nemesis alludes to selfness--the nemesis inside Picard--it's still to small, since when we actually see that realized we have no connection to him. The nemesis in TNG is the Borg, or Q--characters with incredible power, and intriguing minds, and mystique. Not some young guy who comes on the show with no history, and whom we are supposed to believe is remotely comparable to either of those entities, which are both possessed of history and demonstrated futuristic omnipotence.
I just don't buy it. This story is too narrow for a generations final journey. It's an anticlimax, and that is just such a tragedy.

I expected more of a headband then just a regular bandana that you could purchase from a generic hair store. Nothing  wrong with product just not what I expected.

Question: Scott's Turf Builder Is The Best For Once A Year Feeding & Weeding

Creating a beautiful lawn is not easy, especially if your neighbor's lawn is a weed garden- those weeds will keep creeping over, unless you keep your lawn tightly filled with grass, so no weeds will have room to come in. This Scott's Turf Builder With Halt's Crabgrass Preventer With Lawn Food takes care of two of the three secrets to a beautiful lawn- it feeds and weeds. Feed, weed and seed are the 3 secrets to a perfect lawn.

You want to begin your lawn season right after winter with a good turf builder. For years, we had a yard full of dandelions, crabgrass and clover. It took several years to get the dandelions under control- having a street full of dandelion yards- they just blow right over every year. We did get control with Scott's Turf Builder Plus 2. To this day, I just use a bag of Scott's Plus 2 in my Spreader in the spring, and that's it for the entire summer- no more dandelions.

Now, I see crabgrass patches taking over, so it's time for Scott's Turf Builder with Halt's Crabgrass Preventer. Putting this on in early spring gets rid of the crabgrass leaving room for you to seed in late spring/early summer. Seeding leaves no room for weeds to squeeze in. It takes a couple seasons of using Scott's Turf Builder, before the weeds are under control, where you only get a few weeds in the spring, that can easily be gotten rid of with a one time use of Scott's Turf Builder.

I only wish clover could be so easy to get rid of. I haven't found any Turf Builder that eliminates clover- only a liquid that you have to spray on. Scott's Turf Builder With Halt's Crabgrass Preventer is another 5 Star Turf Builder that is every bit as good as their Plus 2. Get it on your lawn in early spring, add some seed later and you'll end up with a lush lawn in a couple seasons. Scott's Turf Builders take care of the feed and weed, so all you have left to do is seed.

This software is targeted to the consumer market-- the weekend DIYers.  It is far too unintuitive and complicated for this market.  Be prepared to spend many, many hours learning to use this software.  For example, editing the type and height of foundation (e.g. 4' crawlspace, brick-faced) is buried in layers of menus and options, and the type of siding on the floors reverts to plan default when these changes are made.  So...you can change the type of siding for the entire house to brick, then edit the height of the crawlspace, and the siding reverts to the default white planks, which you then must go back in and change again.  This effectively prohibits tinkering with designs.

Also, buried in the terms of the sale are the fact that ***DIGITAL SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS ARE NONREFUNDABLE***  This fact needs to be prominently disclosed up-front prior to the sale.  It is not.  I would return the software for a refund, but I cannot.  Bad, bad, bad.  Terribly disappointed and very mad that I cannot return the software.  BUYER BEWARE!!!

Question: Claims of divine intervention are unnerving.

So, where evidence informs you that Cipro can and has many side affects, you turn to faith to inform the rest of your living? I'm sorry that science has not caught up to the point of understanding and reversing the deleterious affects of an adverse reaction, and for your condition, but it does not seem wholesome to turn away from objective evidence in exchange for a world-view that refutes much of what the scientific community stands for. Moreover, you cite having undergone 20+ surgeries to do what little correction that was available while granting all of the credit of your recovery process to your faith. This is a pretty disingenuous claim by itself. Empathy for your condition; not appreciating your perspective.

Historically interesting, but aside from that, this is a run-of-the-mill thriller.  Grammatically, it leaves something to be desired, which puts it in the same class as many other thrillers, where the author really needs a good editor.

the sound is pretty good. the buds themselves are too heavy on the backend, this causes them to slowly fall out of your ear. not terrible, not the best.

Was good for while it lasted. But the fact is that I purchased it in January of this year and it already has stopped working. No exceptional stresses or damages were inflicted on the mouse. It just continuously loses connection to the tower. (All USB ports tested working fine).

Will be looking for a different brand mouse next time around.

This was only used in class (once a week for 1 hour) to take notes on an ipad. During the 4th class it just suddenly stopped working. Pretty dissapointing for the price.

Question: Original Ford Model A:  The Restorer's Guide

An excellent book...well structured with accurate color plates.  I would not suggest the book as a source for all restoration information, but it is truly a great supplement.  As with any book trying to recapture history, there are some possible inaccuracies, but it was obviously painstakingly done and the photos represent a pretty good depiction of what the Model A was originally like when it rolled off the showroom floor.  When we restore a car, we try to achieve a close approximation of original.  An example...try to find pyroxilyn (sp?) material.  It just isn't available nor would you want to use it.  Vinyl is the fabric replacement of choice.  This book can be used with Schild's earlier Restorer's Guide, the Judging Standards of MARC/MAFCA, Shop Service Bulletins, Orig. Owner's Manual, the Dykes Manual, Henry's Lady, Color Chip Chart, etc.  When you do a restoration, you refer to many sources of information and this is one of the best supplemental pieces.  Printing and layout are excellent...a quality piece for those with a love for Model A Fords.  An essential addition to any automotive library, especially one that focuses on the Model A Ford.  Buy it and you won't be sorry.  Don't expect it to be a panacea for all restoration work though.  That was never the intent.

The information was laid out very precisely so that the text was easy to read.  It did seem a bit dated, though not inaccurate.  I would have liked if the pictures inside were colored rather than gray scale, since it is such a fascinating subject.

Question: If this switch is bad AND your dyer won't start read this

I determined that the switch in my whirlpool dryer was bad after watching some videos online about how to test and replace various dyer parts. I knew there was something wrong when the dryer wouldn't stop running when I opened the door but didn't realize this switch was to blame when the dyer later failed to start altogether, because I could still fiddle with the switch and get the light to go on and off. If you find yourself in this situation and still need to use your dryer you can override the bad switch by cutting it off from the lead wires and connecting two of them together with a wire nut. You will need to read the wiring diagram for your dryer to do this and be comfortable with basic electrical work. Do not attempt this with the dryer plugged in and be sure to install the replacement switch ASAP to restore the safety interlock.

works well pain in the ass to change have fun!

be patient and be prepared to fish for loose screws when they fall way down into the dryer base

UPDATE***

the fuse blew again I gave up threw the piece of junk in the garbage. I got a Kenmore on sale during 4th of july weekend for $375 works great. NO MORE HAIER CRAP IN MY FUTURE!!!

Question: Never again Wilson, never again!

s*** shoes. Uncomfortable. Will never purchase again. Don't let any five star ratings fool you. I wear almost nothing but tac boots, and these are crap!

I really, truly am interested in Biblical numerology. Not obsessed with it, but genuinely interested. Its strong points are an ability to point out not-so-obvious underlying patterns, like the acrostic pattern in Psalm 119. Its weak points is that, after creating a numerological correlation, the person that creates it might need to de-emphasize, or even totally ignore, things that tend to mess with the numerics.

In the case of The Harbinger, Jonathan Cahn was not able to fit the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center into his pattern, or the Oklahoma City bombing of the Federal Building on April 20, 1995.  Either or both may be regarded as the start of removal of the "hedge of protection" for a nation blessed by the Lord up to that point.  Some people might go even farther, back to the 1920 bomb, planted by radicals, that rocked Wall Street. These events did not fit the 2001-2008 correlation pattern used by the author, even though they are very relevant to the story.

When I read a story, I really pay attention to whether it's giving me a claustrophobic feeling or not. There had better be a really good reason for a narrative of many tens of thousands of words to embrace only three characters, or I feel claustrophobic in the extreme. The Harbinger had a mere three, and that strikes me as not enough to give it a feeling of reality.

I purchased this as a gift for a little boy that has not learned to walk yet.  He loves the toy.  My 1 1/2 and 3 yr olds like it as well.  The music keeps them locked in, and my older girl likes to 'win' everytime.

It was very difficult to program as the setting switch jammed shut repeatedly - success on the 4th try. also, the plug is very loose and keeps falling out of the outlet, and so we have to rely on the batteries. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it, though, so we'll keep it. All in all, we were not satisfied w/the quality of the product.

OK.  Who wants tough briefs?  I do

At first I thought the briefs looked a little thin in the fabric.  Not exactly 1000 threads per inch.  But the fabric is strong, and comfortable for me.  Best is the waist band and Leg bands seem to have good elastic to last longer than some of those more expensive softer brands.

Bought these after my wife accidentally left my same pair of trunks in the washer and dryer with one of her lipsticks. I liked these so much that I ordered the same pair. These are comfortable and trendy.

Well made, comfortable fit and material.  Way better than a sweatshirt, and reasonably priced.

Returned it. Even though I am a small, I ordered a size large, and it's still so small I can't get my arms into it

Question: An Enjoyable and Informative Read

I found this book when I was very new to my path. I could not put it down the first time and read it three times straight through. An account of the author's personal experience with the path, it reads like a novel yet also educates. For instance, when Phyllis gives an account of ritual, she also provides background and history to explain why each action is performed. Phyllis' style of writing draws you in to her magical world; I found the book totally absorbing. Book of Shadows will make perfect sense to practicing witches and hopefully clear up misconceptions about who we really are to the public. I love this book so much that I donated a copy to our Women's Circle library, which was long ago checked out and never came back.......

Completely awesome.  Contains all links and prompts you need to find information.

I have 4 other skirts from this product listing. One large, which is too big, and 3 mediums that fit perfectly. I ordered the black and white check in medium in the same order as a blue in medium. They arrived in the same box. The check skirt is 2 inches smaller in the waist than the other 3 mediums I have. Yikes, no way I can wear it.

Extremely sturdy, double as a stint if you need it too!

I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to my friends. If you use a GoPro, you're gonna want a ThrillPro!

Question: Should have given my husband more credit...

So I thought that by buying my husband a baby book that had Football in the title it would make him interested in learning about the miracle of conception, pregnancy and birth.  While he did read the book, he didn't walk away with much more knowledge than he started with.  I am not knocking this book.  It is very cute and geared towards men who may not
know a thing about pregnancy.  But it is very short and not detailed at all, so don't expect much!  I say this book is a great way to start your husband on pregnancy books.  This could be the intro book to other more informative books, like the Expectant Father.

but I did!!! HILARIOUS. Whomever is insulted by such a book needs to lighten up. Yeah, pregnancy can be tough for the momma. Ever think of what it's like for the daddy? I especially loved the cartoons of the mommy each month. Not to be taken to heart, but if you've got a sense of humor this will make you laugh.

Question: Loving Every One of These Books!

Having just finished  "THAT GIRL STARTED HER OWN COUNTRY (The Count of Monte Cristo)" I was truly looking forward to this book.  I feel unsure as to if I am reading these books in order, however, it has not had hampered my enjoyment of this series.

As with other books by the Holy Ghost Writer that I have read, so far, this book stands all on its own.  The story, in this case is magical, fantasy and a bit sci-fi.  It almost seems as each book I read is of a different genre, yet all seem to be connected; the main connection being the Count of Monte Cristo.

This particular story is very far into the future, the year 2099.  We meet Zeddy, who is a very young, brilliant boy.  His father's sudden disappearance leads him on quite and adventure, which starts as soon as he realizes his father is gone.  He and his mother seek out the father and their dog, then speak with their neighbor who happens to be over 1600 years old AND is a witch (well known...wait until you see!).

From there, the adventure really starts to take off.  We meet Professor Zenith and Zmally and learn of a planet called Zamira.  The Count is in this story as well.  At the very end, the group boards a ship named Camilla, under the command of Capt. Baldi set for Jungle Island.  That is where book 11 ends, plus chapter 1 of book 12 is provided as a sneak peek.

Loving this series.  Again, as I said, I am reading the books way out of order and yet I have not gotten "lost" along the way and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one so far!

Not for kids get these for your self! He doesn't dumbdown the subject matter! You walk away with a through knowledge of what he. Is writing about. Get them all you won't be sorry you did.

Question: If you think you understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, please try reading this book.

If you want to know the seed of the Protestant Reformation through the preaching of the gospel, read these reflections on Luther's 1518 Disputations at Heidelberg. Everybody knows Luther for nailing 95 theses in Wittenberg on October 31st 1517. However those 95 thesis ar not theologically relevant for Christians today. The best was yet to come. After that event the Pope Lion X asked Gabriel De Volta, General of Augustine Monks to rebuke Luther and to finish the controversy. Instead of doing that, they invited Martin Luther to Heidelberg to explain his beliefs. Based on the Bible and Augustine teaching, Luther prepared 28 theses which he called paradoxes to explain his theology. Gerhard Forde comments on those 28 theses grouped by these topics: "The Problem of Good Works" (Theses 1-12); "The Problem of the Will" (Theses 13-18); "The Great Divide: The Way of Glory versus the Way of the Cross" (19-24); and finally "God's work in us: The Righteousness of Faith" (Theses 25-28). This is one of my favorites theses by Luther: "The law says, "do this", and it is never done. Grace says, "believe in this", and everything is already done." (Martin Luther - Thesis #26).

Very good book.  While i didn't mind his use of the King James, it might have been nice if he used the NIV.

Question: Great book for anyone.

I recently switched to Macs, being a PC user for the past 15 years.

Since I work in a retail store where they sell Macs, I always had the opportunity to "get to know" the system, but I knew I wanted more.

With very little knowledge of Macs and OS X in general I took the jump and bought a Mac.  This book along with it.

What I really like about this book, and one of the main reasons why I bought it, is its 900+ pages.  I had seen other Tiger books with many less pages which also covered a lot less.

This book taught me well how to set up a new Mac (even though it's pretty self explanatory), how to work with folder permissions, how to install & remove programs, how to optimize the OS and customize it to the way I work.  It also helped me connect my Mac to my Windows network.

I also learned how to create user accounts and do software updates, how to work with iPhoto & iMovie, and also a little bit of troubleshooting so you can help your Mac when it's having a little trouble.

I'm very glad I bought this book.  I am now able to enjoy & use my Mac to do things I couldn't or even thought of because I didn't know they existed.

You'll also learn keyboard shortcuts, which are very nice and save you a bit of time.

I highly recommend it to anyone switching from PCs, or any earlier adopter of OS X.

Simply a must for dog owners.  I purchased this one to give as a Xmas gift but once I browsed through it, was hooked.  Will now have to finish reading it before giving it away:-)

Question: Lovely looking coat, but, and there's two of them

No joke, this is a real beauty and in the month I've owned it has drawn rave reviews from just about everyone i know; hangs great [open & belted up], provides pretty good weather protection, great length [I really wanted to avoid any Matrix references] and is great quality - so why only three stars?
This leads me to the 'buts':
#1 - the waist belt is ridiculously long - done up it hangs down at least 18 inches, if you want to wear this open with the belt secured round the back, you'll think you're grown a tail - the manufacturer must have a one-size fits all policy and for the average waisted man [36 inch] it is just way too long.
#2 - I'm minus one sleeve wrist buckle, now whether this wasn't shipped or I inadvertently left this is the packing carton or lost it somewhere down the line, I cannot say but i did finally notice it a week after purchase. I contacted the seller asking to buy a replacement and was casually informed that they don't stock any - huh?, say's I, because with neither the wrist or waist belts secured to the coat, I cannot be the only one that's mislaid one can I? Apparently I am because they didn't even make a half-hearted promise to consider this for the future...so, I'm now faced with a visit to a leather-smith to a/shorten the belt & b/ find a replacement sleeve buckle, which kinda peeves me considering the original outlay...final words - nice coat but left with a sour taste in my mouth.

This was awful! You get what you pay for. It kept shedding all over everything! Definitely not appropriate on a dinner table or near food. Not worth the hassle of returning for eleven bucks.

Question: Interesting ride blending paranormal with medical dilemmas.

I read paranormal books to open ideas about life with a juxtaposition with reality as we know it. It shines a light on how people processes challenges but with a twist. This book gets at the challenges of taking care of people who are different then you. This is like racism or homophobia and the fear running under these issues.
All the medical information is accurate and fun for medical people such as nurses, EMTS and the like to relate to.
Fun read.

Another awesome zombie book totally nothing like I have read before. At first I was a little shocked at what I was reading had to reread a few parts to make sure I was reading it right. I would recommend this book but with caution its not for everyone but if your already reading zombie books you should be good..

Question: HEA was good but lacking.

I read the whole series.  I read the good and bad reviews (always do hopefully not to repeat another reviewers thoughts although hard to do) and so I can't really come up with anything different.  I'm not going to summarize the series because you can get that from other reviews but I would like to say this, a lot of people thought it was horrible and reviewed it badly hoping to get young readers to pass it by.  Do I think a twelve year old needs to read this, no.  Do I think a seventeen year old could, depending on maturity, sure.  People were appalled about how Tessa was so willing to try and help Hardin at her expense, calling her a doormat blah, blah, blah.  But in reality, I could easily see this happen.  Her mother sheltered her so badly and pretty much had her life planned out for her before she could even figure out who she was.  I can relate to that.  Parents want what's best for their children and lead them from a path they have travelled and know nothing good will come from it.  A lot of times, it works.  But then you have a Hardin waiting in the shadows and a Tessa ripe for the picking.  I wasn't surprised to see a sheltered girl fall for the bad boy.  To see something in him that no one could not even himself. To get away from the iron fist controlling her life only to find that there is something out there different and it ok to want it.  I'm not saying that what Hardin did to Tessa was right and certainly didn't expect her to put up with it forever.  Clearly if anyone really read the whole series, they would know that as big as the books were (except the last one) that it was almost a day by day account about their relationship for approximately eight months.  In fact until the last (and I'm guessing here) ten to fifteen chapters of the last book, it was still within the eight month time frame.  So those of you who gave up after the first book thinking the rest of them was years upon years of abusive behavior on Hardin's end, you should have kept reading.  Sometimes it was hard to read because like it said several times in the book, something was always lurking around like a time bomb waiting to explode.  But the journey was good.  Love, definitely heartbreak, self discovery, forgiveness, faith and independence were all found in the very last chapters in the last book.  Now that being said, I have to agree with some of the other reviewers when I say we read 3.75 books to see a more established couple and only got about six chapters that spanned almost twenty something years to see that they finally did get together after about a five to six year separation.  Tessa and Hardin became parents but it was never really told whether or not they ever got married unless I missed it from reading so fast to see how it was tied up.  I would have liked to see more of the couple happy and together.  To see how much they evolved from their separation. How they matured.  We read so much about the journey up to that point and I felt, well I felt cheated because when they finally got it right, it ended.  But I guess that was what Miss Anna's intentions were.  She never deviated from her story and we slowly walked through eight months of a toxic relationship until the breaking point and then went twenty years in six chapters to a very quick HEA.

I enjoyed the sex scene with Kelle and the story lines were fun and I would laugh out loud. Great read

Love this book!  This is the second Arabic book I have found that has simple rhyming Arabic words that are repetitive and fun to read - cute story with great illustrations!!

Question: Pricey but very cute and useful

This compact rechargeable Bluetooth speaker is very compact and attractive and makes a great gift. It is easy to set up and use. It works even when the devices are not right next to each other. Of course it is wireless so you just connect to your Smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth to hear your music play louder. You can play from Pandora or Spotify or from your downloaded music on your device. It comes with a 3.5 mm line-in connector that will connect to any audio device with a headphone jack. When using your cell phone and a call comes in your music is automatically paused so you can take your call which is why I prefer to play it off my ipad. The music starts up again automatically when the call ends. It has a soft finish and a UV-cured coating to resist scratching. It also comes with a fabric carrying case a drawstring closure that has a pocket for a USB charging cable. The battery should last up to eight hours if charged properly. It is pricey but very cute and useful.

What a great idea and so simple to 'assemble' and use! Will make great gifts!

Question: Works great for me but YMMV

I Put it in bed of my pickup and fill it with regular gas.  Saves me a buck or two over marine gas prices.  I slide it from pickup to bed of my kawaski mule and drive mule to my dock so fact that wheels locked up after 2 months is not an issue to me.  I hook it to a block and tackle attached to rafter of my boat house then lift it up so it will gravity drain into my boat so fact that the siphon pump is huge PITA does not bother me.  Also operational capacity it really about 12 gallons because some is always left in the can.  So I gave it 4 stars because it works well for me but your situation may be different.

Does exactly what it's intended for. Fell maybe once from the vent. It does get hot when using heat (heating up the phone, as well).

Question: I bought this projector half years ago. The lamp ...

I bought this projector half years ago. The lamp failed now. In the half year, I used it only for few times. It is cheap but also a low quality.

Amazon needs to correct the rating questions.  How much fun is this game? How do you rate this game overall?  The user must select between 1 to 5 stars.  I could not answer these questions, because, this item is NOT a game, it's a replacement part.  However, in order to submit the review the questions had to be rated.

The review:
Shipping was slow.  When I finally received the Laser Lens Reader I was displeased, because the Laser/Reader was used.  The Laser Reader I received looked like it had more use than my defective laser reader.  Fortunately, the used laser reader worked.  However, since the laser/reader is used, I'm guessing it will fail soon.  In fact, based on web research, more customers are having the Wii's Laser lens/readers replaced, and the failure rate increases dramatically after reaching 5 years of age.

Question: MAC USERS-- Run screaming into the night! Copy and paste from My Book to restore to Mac???

I really had high hopes for this and it's probably great if you have a PC

So--I bought My Book to backup my Mac hard drive before I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.  I used the WD Anywhere software for Mac that comes with the My Book.  The backup to My Book was seamless and I confirmed the files had in fact made it safely to the external hard drive.  So that's good.

However, after installing Leopard, I couldn't seem to get WD Anywhere to put the files back on my Mac.  Searched support documents online and discovered the following:

"Unlike the PC version of WD Backup, the Mac version of WD Backup essentially performs a "copy and paste" of your data from the source drive to the My Book Premium Edition hard drive. You can restore this data by opening the My Book Premium Edition hard drive and then copying the data back onto the internal hard drive."

You can erase the MyBook hard drive and then Time Machine will do whatever it needs to do to the hard drive to make it compatible.  (I'm new to Time Machine)  But the point is, I can't let that happen until I move the files to the Mac and I can't move the files easily to the Mac without erasing the external hard drive.

WD SUPPORT:  Perhaps this wasn't a good day for them.  But I called tech support before I got the bad news from support docs online.  Waited on the phone for 30+ mintues (with the promise the wait time was 10 minutes).  Left message with operator who finally came on.  He said they would call within an hour.  They didn't.

I'm sure you can work around this, there's no headsup and the problem is not well documented.

Solid case but there is a few issues with it as well. Purchased this case a little over a year ago at Best Buy for nearly $100. For that price I was expecting the case to last around 2 years at least. Within one year though the piece of plastic on the left side next to the power button holding the ipad up snapped. I have very rarely dropped the case and have not done much to it. The ipad nw cannot stand up and needs to always be supported from the back. Though this is expected with keyboards, the space behind the keys got extremely dirty. I discovered this when another issue occurred, my right shift key falling out, and saw how much had collected behind the key. This cannot be removed with compressed air either and is very hard to remove even a small bit of it. There is also many scratched on the case which is likely own faulty though. Case also got dirty very quickly. The reason I am giving two instead of one star(s) though is because up until the key fell out and the case broke, my experience with the case was very good. It is protective and has solid feedback when you type. Overall an okay product but don't expect it to last long.

Question: A Tarot of Depth and Clarity

This deck is by far not only my first incursion to Tarot but my favorite so far. The cards are so well thought out and their meanings are defined not only by their traditional divinatory meanings but also by the artwork. So far I have come to depend on others' interpretations of the cards but am developing the intuition to interpret or discern the meanings of the cards. The primary spreads I have used are the simple 3card-PPF spread and the Opening of the Key Spread (OOTK) which is by far the most detailed and hardcore spread one can undertake. It is one that is more sequential rather than positional (as found in Celtic and pyramid spreads). Most of the information I have attained by the OOTK is derived from Paul Hughes Barolow's websites (newtarot.com and supertarot.co.uk) and his book "Tarot and the Magus." These are some of the spreads I have sought to master, all in time I guess. But the deck is by far accurate, calming, and can be used for meditation (as with the Haindl).

A matter to clarify is that I have noticed many people speak of an inherent negativity associated with this deck. To this I may add that a cleansing should be carried out for any deck after its initial purchase. In addition, I feel it is a matter of will to overcome the eeriness present in the cards. Barlow has stated that each card represents some spiritual entity, Liber 231 for Major Arcana, Goetia for the Numbered cards, and Enochian spirits for the court cards. Perhaps one is thus attuned to one of these beings but for my experience I have not felt any presence when working and otherwise with the deck. I do hope that the reader would be more informed of these matters and that one should not be carried away by the designer's reputation or the cards themselves.

My primary use is for meditation, as a means to commune deeper into one's self and understand the forces that we are constantly interacting with in the world. I could include a list of readings that I feel contribute greatly to this understanding, such as Barlow's books and some works of Crowley, but it would never suffice. I suggest, in short, the process philosophy of Whitehead, Jung's archetypes, the work of Lacan on the role of psychoanalysis (much can be read further in the cards with Lacan), Deleuze's rhyzomes, Merleu-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception, Prigogine's End of Certainty, the Kabbalah of Isaac Luria, spirituality of Sri Aurobindo, and Jodowersky's Holy Mountain, as perverse it may be, it and on youtube his video on the Tarot elucidate the true meaning of the Tarot, which is not simply for fortune-telling, but a tool that is used for self-development and increasing spiritual intuition. As varied as these insights are, I feel they are constructive with one's sense of development. Nonetheless, these are the influences that have aided me. As Bruce Lee would say, "have no limitation as limitation, no way as way." The Tarot integrates well with my philosophy and spirituality, but as a word of warning, do not become ultimately dependent on it, such as throwing down for little matters. Rather, use it in moderation, such that every instance contributes to your self-realization.

The only redeeming quality of this game is the art by The Oatmeal - but if I wanted more of that I could have just gone to his website. Don't pay $20 for a terribly boring card game, with essentially zero strategy or decision making, and with game play that does not make you laugh either - only reading the art for the first time makes you laugh.

Question: Is there a Dr. in the house?

Greetings enthusiasts of fine graphic literature!
It has been far too long for me to keep silent about The Secret Files of Dr. Drew. I've been raving about it to everyone outside the internets who has had the misfortune of mentioning anything comic related within earshot, and now its time to inflict my fan-boy raving unto the unsuspecting masses of said internets.

Beginning with the cover; cheers to keeping the original logo. The jacket design makes the book look very attractive (especially next to Mr. Monster: Origins), I must say, and the gold leaf of the cover gives the book the real feel of an ancient tome. Very nice. It has been said that one should not judge a book by its cover, so...

When I first looked inside my eyes nearly popped out of my head! Now, as painful as that sounds, it was actually quite pleasant. The endpapers set the mood perfectly. Mmmm... giant color dots... The introduction and history of Dr. Drew was fantastic! I really miss the letters pages of yesteryear when, in the first few issues, the editor would write about how the book came to be. The Mr. Monster and Kelly introduction somehow looked familiar and made me hunger for similar introductions to each chapter ala Mr. Monsters Super-Duper Specials.

Now, the two things that I like best about the book (besides the artistic content, of course) are the paper and the color. Kudos to Mr. Gilbert on his choice of paper. Lately I have been disappointed in many of the higher-end reprints of gold, silver, and bronze age books. Especially the high gloss paper that is difficult to read due to glare from fluorescent or sun light. The glossy paper somehow fails to capture the essence of the color. After all, the books were originally colored with the final production in mind. Newer, digitally colored comics look fine on the glossy paper but the glare is still an issue. Again, I love the paper and the restoration (and correction, i.e. the compass on p. 32) of the original color. The only distraction I noticed was that the page borders and gutters seemed a touch bright.

I also enjoyed the biography pieces, especially the research and discoveries into the life of Abe Kanegson. Mr. Gilbert deserves the Dr. Drew Medal of Expert Sleuthiness.
As for the Artistic Content? Stellar! The first nine stories made me want to reread all the Spirit stories I can lay my hands on.
Layouts: spectacular!
Inks: Wonderful!
Stories: Terrific! The last four make me wonder if the publisher had someone else ghost the stories and just pasted Jerry's name to them. Even the tone of the writing seems different. Still good, just different.

But no matter what, this collection is stupendous! Its amazing to see this edition of these nifty stories, and the expert sleuthing of the stories behind the stories. I dig it the most.

I was never really interested in this particular genre of music until I saw Hugh Laurie perform on The Tonight Show.  I know that this isn't what purists would listen to, but it has introduced me to the works of Kansas Joe McCoy, etc. and it has been a delight to learn more about these artists and their music.

Convenient; makes good popcorn.  Paper towel over the top helps to reduce popped kernels "popping" out into the microwave.

This is the Microwave Lid cover I have ever bought. It extends for 2 sizes tall or short. But the best I ever bought. This is my third one to buy. I have mine, and I noticed my Mom needed one so I bought her one also. And I bought one for a friend. I believe you will also like it once you try it. I garentee. #1 in my book.

It is a nice bag but it does not look like the one pictured... the print is different and not as colorful. I wrote and asked if I could get one that was exactly the same as the one pictured and did not hear back... the one I have is still nice but please note that the pattern will be different than the ones that are shown.

I love it! It was worth the price. It only has 2 slots for cards. You can't really put money it the money slot, because it will not close.

Question: Excellent set of photographs

Argentini has produced a superb collection of fine figure nude photography. The only criticism I have is that the photogragh on the book cover is not contained in the set of pictures contained inside the book itself.

Wow. Just wow.  Loved this story & learning more about this sad historical event.

Question: Ingenious hammock design to suit every type of adventure!

Wow! Love this hammock! Where have you been all my life? Well, the last few years at least. Camping and hiking is a new adventure for me and I must say, I don't like sleeping on the ground. This incredibly useful and sturdy hammock is like a dream come true. Imagine yourself outside, lying in your hammock and staring up at the stars. It's an incredible feeling. It's easy to use, folds up nice and neat, easy to transport, and oh so comfortable. This is not just for those of you who camp and hike. It's also fun to put up in the backyard too! I'm not going to suggest you get this. I'm going to suggest you get two!! Trust me. Everyone in your family will want one.

Bought these for a trip to Italy. Great for organizing our clothes, super helpful when living out of a suitcase for 8 days and in 3 different locations.

Question: Nomad Happens: part one

The characters are in Italy and then a story happens. Is it the best ever? No. Is it entertaining? Yes.
Some on the physics and astronomy stuff is hard to follow. Jessica often thinks things are her fault, so does her dad.
We focus on Jessica's thoughts/point of view mostly, and that can be confining at times. She's kind of stubborn/rude.
Will Hector learn english? What are Roger's pills? Will he get a PHD? Can Giovanni be more one-dimensional? Is a blister going to form on Jessica's stump? These are questions/cliffhangers that'll have to be answered in book two!

Probably needed more Grandma Mazur! But it was still a fun read and entertaining.would like more Ranger please please pretty please.

All in all, it's a very cute bag. I only used one strap as I'm using it as a purse and the clips which connect the strap to the purse started malfunctioning within a week of me getting it, so I guess i'll never get a chance to try it out as a backpack. But I only paid $15 so I can't really complain.

Very happy with this. It looks exactly like the pictures on here.

Question: Steve Madden Women's Stripe Boyfriend Brief, Hype Peri Berry

bought 2 matching camis, gray and blue.  So comfy and cute to lounge around in the hot weather!  April 2014

These are fine; super bright colors and very stretchy.  Medium thickness.  Very synthetic feeling.  They're a little longer than they look in he picture, and I'd prefer them shorter, but they serve their purpose of covering my daughter's bottom in dresses.  Probably wouldn't buy again; not breathable so probably not the best choice.

Question: I orderd an XXL but think I may have been better served with an XL

This brace seems to be well made and is exactly as described in the description. My only problem is that eventhough I read the size chart, I had to guess at what size to purchase. It would be helpful if some guidance were given regarding the size one should buy based on the size of one's leg above and below the knee. I am a 6'2" male weighing about 265 lbs. My thigh 4" above my knee is about 20.5 inches. I orderd an XXL but think I may have been better served with an XL. Rating at 4 stars only for the sizing issue.

it doesnt fit like a medium shirt usually fits. it was a little snug. id get a large unless you like your undershirts to fit tight.

Question: I have enjoyed some of Yossi Klein's Halevi books

I have enjoyed some of Yossi Klein's Halevi books. Especially his book Like Dreamers on solders during the six day war.

This book, hoever, is more about the author himself and while I empathize it is not worthy to read as sadly this is an issue that many adults when they look back being a teenager realize how little they really knew.

The biggest problem I have though is the crowds that Yossi Klein Halevi speak to have the problem he mentions in this book. Yet I don't see solutions here. If he truly wanted to solve this problem he should be critical of some of the organizations he works with. But he isn't.

Wow!!! What an eye opener. It is worth the money and then some. If you love HaShem with all your heart I recommend this commentary.

Great system for someone who consistently needs to remove an individual key without struggling with the impossible design of a standard key ring.

My daughter was really excited when she opened this on Christmas. But after playing with it, we soon realized that this toy is not made very well. When you turn the crank on the right side, the "shelf" doesn't stay level and the item falls off and gets stuck on the bottom. Same thing for the other side. And once something is stuck on the bottom, it's REALLY hard to get it back out. It's worthless as far as I'm concerned. Don't waste your money.

Question: Anosmic on the go! Love this stuff

Perfect for on the go. During summer I work 70 hour weeks btween two jobs, so I don't have much time in between jobs to sit down and get proper nourishment. I am also anosmic (no sense of smell, never had it), so food doesnt have all too much appeal to me unless its something really special (I'm lookin at you biscuits and gravy). I find soylent delicious, and at the same time very neutral. Its like it has an almost not quite sweet taste when its in your mouth, but when youve finished the bottle you forget what it tastes like entirely. If you don't like milk, you won't like it, but I love milk, and I now love Soylent and drink at least one every day.

FYI  if it's a hot day the wax will melt on the delivery truck..  Had to dig out he wick and after that it doesn't burn evenly.  Still smells good though

Question: This charm necklace was perfect..

This charm necklace was perfect.... it was for granddaughters graduation... she loved it...even had tears...as the encourage words of follow your dreams really hit home... Orig the chain broke... costumer service was fantastic and sent out a new one without question or hassle.... the were easy to work with and very polite. I didn't want to return the charms as my granddaughter loves them and said she would wear with a piece of leather... it didn't look so great but she wanted them next to her "heart" who can argue with that. we receive the replacement chain & to her it was like a whole new present. This is an adorable necklace and well worth the money.

Cute product at a low price but the band broke the second time I wore it. I'm not too upset since the price is low and the clock works fine, I'll probably go out and buy a new band for it elsewhere. I did get a lot of compliments on it and would like to wear it again.

Question: The End Of One Nightmare, And The Beginning Of Another

Directed and written by Ham Tran, "Journey from the Fall," is a very emotional film. The films narrative is based on fictional characters, but in a sense these characters are representative of the millions of South Vietnamese who were displaced, forced to leave their country, or sent to re-education camps after the fall of Saigon. The film reminded me in many ways of "The Killing Fields" starring the late Haing S. Ngor. And while "The Killing Fields" dealt with Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, it has much in common with the film "Journey from the Fall," in that it deals with the aftermath of Americas absence from Southeast Asia, and what befell those who were left behind. In this particular film, the director weaves three main narratives into the film.

One of these narratives revolves around the father Long (Long Nguyen). It is April 1975, and the North Vietnamese have nearly conquered the South. However, Long believes it is his duty to continue fighting for Saigon until the very end. He tells his wife Mai (Diem Lien) that he must remain behind to carry on the fight, while imploring her to leave for America with their young son Lai (Nguyen Thai Nguyen) and the grandmother Ba Noi (Keiu Chinh). I found the fathers narrative to be the most fascinating in the film. As the film moves forward, the viewer is witness to the infamous RE-EDUCATION camps that were so prominent with communist regimes. Those who fought in the former government are considered traitors, and as such, they MUST be re-educated along communist dogma---before they are allowed to fit into the new social order of the now reunified country.

The viewer sees the plight of the father as he endures years of imprisonment in the re-education camps, while at the same time, we see the emotional strain this is causing on the rest of the family. Grandmother is excellently cast in her role, as she recounts legendary tales to the young grandchild Lai. Amidst all of the emotional pain the family is going through now that the father is separated from them, is the ever present thought of escape to America. When the family decides the time is right for escape, they encounter a very perilous journey. The director did a very good job with the set designs in the open seas, as you can sense the claustrophobic feeling of the families who are attempting to escape Vietnam in a small fishing boat. Moreover, there is the ever present danger of pirates who prey on the open seas: And this is vividly portrayed in the film.

When the family eventually arrives in America, they encounter the usual hostility newcomers often face. Further, the director shows in both subtle, and not so subtle ways the discrimination that befalls the newcomers in their new home--especially those of the young boy Lai. However, there is more to the film than the families escape to America. We see the constant perils of those who are in the re-education camps and their hopes of finally gaining freedom. For while the director shows those who have finally found freedom, he also gives us a glimpse of many others who are still in the re-education camps who firmly believe and hope that they will one day be released, or will release themselves through bribery or escape from the camps. Will the father finally find freedom? I don't wish to divulge too much in this review, as there are some very important parts of the film I did not explore, which will only ruin the film for you. I recommend the film highly. For a more in-depth review, I recommend viewers take a look at the reviewer Woopak's review. He has given an outstanding review of the film. [Stars: 4.5]

Sarah Brightman has done it again, with this absolutely superb CD!  I loved La Luna and wondered if future CDs would be as good and Ms. Brightman has not disappointed me.  I love Harem more than La Luna!  Sarah Brightman is a class act:  She believes in spending money on the arrangements, musicians, vocalists and the packaging of her Music and it shows!  It's a Beautiful Day, The Journey Home, The War Is Over Now, You Take My Breath Away, not only keep playing over and over in my head, but (to the distress of some!) are easy to sing.  I can't seem to stop playing this CD!  I'm probably driving my neighbors crazy, but, in my opinion, what a way to go!  What a great gift to give and receive!  Congratulations and thanks to Sarah Brightman for recording such a wonderful and succesful CD!
