It is incredibly easy to use, both the foil opener and the corkscrew. We consistently get compliments for it, and at least 6 friends and family members have purchased this exact model after seeing it work at our house. I FULLY recommend this to anyone: the charge lasts a long time, its far quieter than I expected, and is quick and easy to use. Takes about 6 seconds to take the cork off (by simply holding one direction of the button), and about the same to remove the cork from the opener (by holding the other). I plan on purchasing at least 2 more this year to give as gifts.
The only reason someone should buy an automatic opener other than this one is if you buy one of the expensive vacuum removers, if you don't want to poke the corkscrew hole in the cork (for hobbies/re-use/etc). Unless you have that specific need, buy this opener. After re-reading this part, I should note that this opener doesn't break the cork into pieces or anything, it just inserts the corkscrew into one end of the cork in order to pull it out. I've opened at least 50 bottles of wine with this, not a single piece of cork has broken off into the bottle.Oster 4207 Electric Wine-Bottle Opener』
(Easy Opener) 『This is one of the finest wine bottle openers I have ever used. There are much more expensive types, but this one does all it said it would do. I recommend it.』
(Excellent Bottle Opener!) 『I bought two of these wine bottle openers for gifts two years ago. One went to my parents, and one to my husband. We've used it probably 1-2 times weekly since then and have NEVER had a problem with it. It pulls out natural corks and plastic corks equally well. It's so easy to use! I remember that we decided we had to open a bottle of wine right after DH unwrapped his gift. It worked so smoothly and I was so shocked, that I immediately dug through a drawer until I found my Pampered Chef wine bottle opener and promptly threw it in the garbage. My parents love theirs too. Unlike us, they don't keep it on the charger, but they can go several months between charges. (They're probably more like every-other-week wine drinkers.)
This is easily one of my favorite wine-related purchases I've ever made!』
(Best Gift Ever) 『I asked for this opener last year as a Christmas present and was pleasantly surprised that it worked so well. I hate conventional corkscrews as they require a lot of work&sometimes the corks split&remain in the neck of the bottle. This little wine opener is the best present that I have received in a long time. I love it, and people always laugh when I use it. They know that I am a serious wine drinker. It does take up some counter space, but I only plug it in and charge it once in awhile. Does not need to remain on charge, so you can keep the charger in a drawer. Great gift to give too!!! I have had this since last Christmas, and it is still going strong!!!!』
(great opener) 『East to use, makes you want to drink more wine just so you canopen the bottle』 『This electric wine opener (4207-6WC) offers effortless entertainment at the touch of a button. When fully charged, its cordless operation easily opens up to 30 bottles of wine, and sits in the compact recharging base for convenience and mobility. Its stylish and ergonomic design features a soft grip handle that fits in the palm of your hand for a firm grip. The included foil cutter removes the wine seal, the wine opener penetrates the cork, and in seconds the bottle is opened with no effort, allowing you to spend more time with your guests. LED light on base glows when charging.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (FUNNY&MAGICAL....what could be better?) 『Has there ever been a better actress to play a witch so wickedly glamourous? Could another actor be an unsuspecting boob so perfectly? Or have two of the biggest bumblers as relatives? Happily not! Kim Novac delivers a completely believeable performance as Gillian, the beautiful lonely witch who wants a "normal" life and can anyone top Jimmy Stewart as her clueless prey? These two should have done more movies together! As for the supporting cast, Elsa Lancaster (better known as the "Bride of Frankenstein") is perfect as Queenie, Gillian's aunt, Jack Lemmon in a surprising role as Gillian's beatnik brother who befriends a writer (played by Ernie Kovacs) and offers him an "inside look" at the witchcraft crowd, the head of which is none other than Hermione Ginghold (in a particularly hilarious scene with Jimmy Stewart - his facial expressions are priceless). This movie offers comedy, sadness, sweetness and a tiny bit of spooky plus a very crossed-eyed Siamese named Pyewacket. Great movie to see anytime of the year but certainly Halloween and Christmas fits best. This was not the first movie produced with this kind of storyline (Veronica Lake in "My Favorite Wife" for instance) but altho made in the 50's still holds it's own today. Even the fashions are timeless...as is this love story. So Ring the bell, close the book and light the candle - you may find yourself humming a little tune to your own cat or putting out all the street lamps just for fun!』 『BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE is set at Christmastime, New York City, 1958. Gillian Holroyd (Novak) is a young, blonde witch with a passion for primitive art and the study of man. She runs a small primitive art store on the first floor of her apartment building. She longs for a regular life, as it is Christmas Eve and she feels lonely. She watches Shep Henderson (James Stewart), a publisher who also lives in the same building with Gillian, her Aunt Queenie (Elsa Lanchester), and brother Nicky (Jack Lemmon), get out of a cab and go upstairs. She tells her familiar, a Siamese cat named Pyewacket, that she'd like the man upstairs for Christmas.Aunt Queenie invites Gillian to the very beat and hip Zodiac Club where beatnik jazz and a smokey club environment prevail. Before long, Gillian finds herself hopelessly and helplessly in love with Shep who is already promised to another. But can Gillian win Shep's love and affection in return without resorting to the use of witchcraft (unfairly) to win his true heart? BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE is a perfect movie to watch, especially during the holiday months, but anytime for its delightful storyline. An obvious inspiration to the BEWITCHED television series that came a few years later, BELL BOOK AND CANDLE has its own magical charm that you'll delight in watching.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Surrealist Near Masterpiece) 『In this savage satire of the upper class, six wealthy friends attempt to enjoy an evening meal together. They are inevitably foiled by an unlikely series of events, each blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
The friends are often heartless in their complacency.When the ambassador of the fictional Miranda tells his friends of a Nazi war criminal hiding in his country, the others seem mildly interested. Apparently, he was a real butcher. A woman interjects: "Does he like dogs?"
There are several laugh out loud moments, and Bunuel mixes in a healthy dose of social commentary. An entertaining ensemble of supporting characters often make surprise revelations, drastically changing your impression of a scene. In one, a woman leads a Father to the bedside of a dying old man. Before going in, she stops him and makes a confession: "I've always hated Jesus Christ."
As the film approaches its finale, Bunuel explores the medium between dreams and real life. Several of the friends experience nightmares playing on their fears and desires. The six actors give depth to their characters, and the viewer gets an admirable portrait of each. Bunuel's genius is evident throughout. 4.5/5』
(Executeable) 『Luis Bunuel's major theme in this film is showing his dislike for the 'bourgeois' segment of society. A similar theme was shown about 5 years after "Discreet Charm"'s premiere, although more playfully, in Bunuel's "That Obscure Object of Desire." In what seems to be a dreamlike scene in "Discreet Charm", a group of defenseless 'bourgeois' friends is machine gunned without reason. Did the director think the friends deserved the punishment?』
(The Stuff of Dreams) 『"The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" unfolds with the absurd logic of a recurrent dream, and since the DVD has been beautifully restored, one is able to dream the dream in vivid color: Elegantly dressed guests arrive for a dinner party only to have the hostess inform them that they have arrived on the wrong night; thus, they keep making appointments for dinners that are continually interrupted for one reason or another--all of the reasons being as patently ridiculous as are the characters: a bishop, who arrives at the house and asks to be hired as a gardener, and then relates the story of his macabre childhood; a soldier, who arrives at a restaurant (that has run out of tea and coffee), asks to join the ladies, whom he has never met before, and relates the story of his macabre childhood; a General, who arrives with his platoon a day early at the same house with the same hostess in time for dinner, and then, after the General invites a Private to relate the story of his macabre dream to the hosts and the invited guests (who listen attentively), both General and platoon depart for maneuvers (but not before inviting all the guests to his house for dinner, where even more macabre events unfold.). Thus, the dreams contain dreams within dreams within dreams within dreams within dreams et cetera ad absurdum.
This film is for anyone who has ever had recurrent nightmares of waiting for a bus on the wrong corner; of being about to take a test only to discover that one has studied the wrong subject; of being about give a lecture only to discover that one has forgotten the notes; or of performing on stage with a mouth stuffed with peanut-butter when one's cue is coming up. All the absurd commonplaces that make perfect sense when one is dreaming. And much of the "discreet charm" of the bourgeois characters in this film derives from the fact that one is dreaming their nightmares and not one's own.』
(Buñuel's best film.) 『This is arguably Buñuel's best film. Described as "a complex, shifting, virtually plotless web of dreams within dreams within dreams," Luis Buñuel's 1972 Academy Award winning surrealist film, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie) chronicles five derailed dinner parties of a group of three affluent Parisian couples, intermixed with four dreams dreamt by different characters. The sextet of friends includes Rafael Acosta (Fernando Rey), François Thévenot (Paul Frankeur), Simone Thévenot (Delphine Seyrig), Florence (Bulle Ogier), Alice Sénéchal (Stéphane Audran), andHenri Sénéchal (Jean-Pierre Cassel). Although they constantly arrive for dinner parties, they never actually eat. Whether they arrive on the wrong night, or there's a corpse in the next room, their plans are always thwarted by some absurd complication. Meanwhile, secrets involving adultery, perversions, boredom, hypocrisies, military maneuvers, and drug smuggling are revealed beneath the surface of their "polite," bourgeois facade. Buñuel breaks all the narrative rules in this film. Dreams interrupt scenes and unpredictabile surreal twists interrupt the film's narrative in a way that might be described as Monty Python at its most extreme. While other filmmakers are retired at age 72, Buñuel was at his charming best.
Criterion's two-disc edition of this masterpiece includes a new high-definition film transfer, El náufrago de la calle de Providencia (The Castaway on the Street of Providence, 1970): a 24-minute documentary homage to Buñuel by his friends Arturo Ripstein and Rafael Castanedo, A propósito de Buñuel (Speaking of Buñuel, 2000): a new 98-minute documentary on the life and work of Buñuel by Jose Luis López-Linares and Javier Rioyo, the original theatrical trailer, and new and improved English subtitles. Highly recommended, must-see cinema.

(The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie) 『One of the Spanish master's funniest films, the Oscar-winning "Charm" gleefully savages the manners and mores of the upper crust, employing bizarre plotlines and fanciful farce to attack the well-heeled scions of respectable society as vain, decadent, elitist, and thoroughly amoral. Rey, Seyrig, and New Wave icon Ogier head the stellar ensemble cast, with Julien Bertheau standing out as a pompous, not-so-holy bishop. Buñuel's dream-within-a-dream sequences, which involve ghosts, terrorists, and sundry other characters, are simply brilliant, and bring this sublime, extended joke to the verge of divine absurdity.』 『What can be more enjoyable then a meal among friends and family? In Luis Buñuel's surrealistic comedyThe Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisieit is this common ritual a sextet of upper-class friends repeatedly attempt, only to be obstructed by one obscure event after another. Masterfully balancing the dichotomy of class vs. debauchery Buñuel delivers a ripping critique of the upper class. It is clear from the beginning that the lives Buñuel'sBourgeoisieare living are not what they seem. Eventually, their true colors begin to shine; not in actual actions but in haunting dreams. What is real and what lies in the subconscious becoming exceedingly blurry and in order to deliver his message, surrealism must take over. It is hard to pigeonhole Buñuel's classic that won him the Oscar forBest Foreign Language Film 1972: An absurd odyssey? A discreet satire? Not necessarily, but definitely charming.--Rob Bracco』

This was proven when the combination lock quit working, and I had to break into it to retrieve my key. Also, for my key to fit into it initially, I had to saw off the top part of it.』
(Frankly, Don't Waste Your Money) 『As other reviewers have noted, for an item intended for a security application, this keybox isn't just flimsy, but borders on fragile. I was able to break it open in less than a second with my bare hands. As thieves tend to look for easy targets, this box won't even slow them down.
I take that back -- a potential thief will waste several seconds, laughing. Then your car or your things in the car are history.
If the manufacturer made it in metal, with close tolerances and a weather seal, I'd buy it. But although it looks tough and capable in the photographs, this is nothing more that a novelty item for a gumball machine.』
(Doesn't work well) 『I purchased this a few weeks ago after locking myself out of my car. It was a great idea! I set my combination (a number which I cannot forget) and all was well. So I thought. I locked myself out of my van again today and I thought GREAT! I'M SAVED!! I have my key safe...not so fast! I retrieved the keysafe, dialed in my combination...and the dumb thing wouldn't open. As I said this is a number I can't forget...it wasn't an error on my part. I eventually had to break the silly thing to get my key out and get into the car...so it isn't as secure as you might think, it was quite easy to break as it is plastic, I was able to get the one side open enough and just gave a twist and was able to get my key out. It was a great idea...but not if the combination lock stops working.』
(Small, discrete and easy to open/close) 『It's small and very discrete with it's magnetic backing that can be mounted very easily. The combo lock is easy to open/close. If you are looking for a secure hide-a-key this serves that purpose. I would recommend it.』
(GE Security 001859 AccessPoint Stor-A-Key Locking Key Case.) 『This locking key case is precisely what I was looking for. It is very well designed, and very well built. The magnet that retains the key case in a secreted spot, is extremely strong. So if you hide it somewhere on your car, there would be little, or no, chance of losing it.
If you need a reliable. easy to hide, key case, this is the one I would recommend to anmyone.』 『Never be locked out of your home or car again. The Locking Stor-A-Key is a secure key holder that lets you hide your house or car key in a discreet spot for emergency access or just as a spare. Attach this key holder in any convenient location: Its powerful magnet will adhere to a wheel well or magnetic grill cover, and it also comes with adhesive tape to hold it in place anywhere.

It's great for that small blemish that just bugs the heck out of you, but you're too lazy to pull out a big can of paint. With the Paint Buddy I stay on top of my wall blemishes and I'm ecstatic. The top pops off and the roller is so easy to clean. I've had this system for over 2 years now and I've only replaced the roller once. I highly recommend this product. Although I originally purchased this product from Lowe's, I got the additional ones from Amazon. After much research, Amazon had the best price.』
(Makes Touchups Easy) 『I love my paint buddies. Anytime paint needs touching up, I just reach for them. No paint brush needed and the paint stays fresh. It just doesn't get any easier.』
(LOVE THESE THINGS) 『I love these things, they are great for quick touch-ups to paint! They are not for painting large areas but for those little life dings.』
(Easy Touch Ups!) 『I've been using the Rubbermaid Paint Buddys since 2003. I keep one for every paint color in my home. I ask for an extra label when I have my paints mixed and put that label on my Paint Buddy in the event I need to order more paint. Touch ups are a breeze! I haven't had my paint dry up in one yet! Just be careful when priming the roller that you do not squeeze too tightly or it will ooze more paint than you wanted!!!』
(A fine discovery for siding contractor) 『I originally spotted this product while in a Lowes store one day when looking for ideas to paint the ends of prefinished Hardie plank siding. I am a contractor and have had great difficulty using the paint applicators that are supplied by Hardie. They wear out quickly, long before they run out of paint, and it takes about 4-6 of them per house. Hardie is glad to sell them to you for $20+ each, but with the Paint Buddy, at about $9, plus a quart of color match paint from any paint store, I can do a complete job and with some care, I can do 3 jobs of the same color before the quart runs out. You will have to replace the roller each job, it is easy to do, but even still, it saves me over $100 per job.
This may not have been the intended use for this product, but it has been a great find.』 『Paint Buddy Touch Up Tool, Paint Your Room, Fill Paint Buddy With Excess Paint, Store By Cleaning Supplies, Use Paint Buddy To Roll Over Scuffs&Scratches To Do Touch Up Work.』

Johnny Depp heads up a supercool cast as the irresistible bad boy whose amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild - especially Allison Vernon Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful "square" who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dreamy juvenile delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women. It's the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Waters' outrageous musical comedy.』 『John Waters's goofy, 1990 comedy about a Baltimore girl (Amy Locane) who can't decide if she should remain "good" in her 1954 world or hang out with the motorcycle boys is funny in a scene-by-scene way, but doesn't quite gel into the grand piece the director was hoping for. The cast is exceptionally likable, however, including Johnny Depp as an Elvis type and Iggy Pop as a chattering loony. The best material is set in a fringe world of bikers and losers on the outskirts of town, and Waters writes some hilarious sardonic dialogue for the characters.Cry-Babyis the last of Waters's more undisciplined features; he followed it with the glossier but no less perverseSerial Mom.--Tom Keogh』

I first saw this film when I was 10 years old (38yrs today)and it still leaves me stunned. On Halloween night, in 1981 as a kid, I sat down in a typical Halloween costume and was glued to the tube, searching for a good scare. I always looked for films in the Hammer Studios type-produced horror films portraying Dracula as with Christopher Lee. But never had I seen a full length version devoted to the entire storey. Everything from the journey to and from England and Transylvania, was incredible to watch. Even the music scared me..lol.. Louis Jourdan played the best of all Dracula characters ever!!! Yes Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee are wonderful...but, Louis Jourdan really made my jaw drop! This film was shown on Channel 8 in Atlanta,GA with mostly programs dedicated to the BBC. When this film was finally placed on DVD....my heart skipped because finally a well made version had come back to life for me to own. Since purchasing this film upon its release to DVD, I have kept it as a rare jewel and even purchased more copies to hand out as gifts when friends-fans alike wanted a great version of Dracula. The whole film, coming from a horror fan here, was just beautiful and frightening all together.
Every Halloween Season, I get out this film as a tradition to get a good scare.lol
』
(THANK YOU!) 『Thank you for FINALLY making this available. I remember it with great pleasure when it first came out on PBS, and watched it for 3 years running on HALLOWEEN. I'll be the first to agree that the technology wasn't the greatest...but personally, I watch a movie for the acting...not digital effects. I literally grew up with horror films, and I can tell you that only TWO gave me nightmares. Bela Lugosi as Dracula, and Louis Jourdan as Dracula. They scared the stuffing out of me!
Please give this one a chance...Jourdan is masterful.』
(Rent This One From the Library) 『While some reviewers clearly enjoyed this film when they first saw it on TV (I can only assume they were quite young at the time), I found it unspeakably dull and disjointed. And (to echo another reviewer) I also deeply resent the BBC's practice of forcing home-viewers to sit through endless promotional commercials for other BBC series before watching the film they paid to see. One is not allowed to skip the commercials nor to fast-forward through them. This kind of intrusive, strong-arm tactic is not advertising. It's bullying. Commercials and promotions should be available as a Menu Selection.』
(About as Faithful a Version You Can Find) 『When I first saw this on PBS when I was a kid, I thought it was the best and scariest version up to that point. I just finished watching the 1931 Universal Pictures version, Hammer's Horror of Dracula, and this one over the last four days, and while I enjoyed each one, I've learned that comparing the adaptations is like comparing apples and oranges because none of the adaptations are very faithful. This one is about as faithful as they come.
The plot itself is faithful. The supporting characters are faithful. Dracula is not. Not that this is a bad thing. Everyone who plays Dracula brings his own style, and Louis Jourdan does a great job of portraying the vampire. Jourdan's Dracula is more human than other portrayals, but a monster nevertheless. He shows less anger, more seduction than rape, and at one point asks to be understood, but not pitied. He's not the Dracula of the novel, but that's okay, his performance is positive and memorable. Jack Shepard plays Renfield, and I think he captures the essence of Renfield of the book, as does Frank Findlay, in his portrayal of Dr. Van Helsing.
So, Dracula, although Jourdan does not capture the novel character's essence, does a great job in bringing his own interpretation to the character. Shepard and Findlay totally capture the essence of their characters. The only major character changes are that Lucy and Mina are now sisters, and Arthur Holmwood and Quincy Morris are combined into one character. These are not major changes that affect the storyline.
On a technical aspect, I can only fault it for some of the music. The opening score itself is great and moody, but there are several scenes which the music is light and airy to the point where I am reminded of the sitcom, "Bewitched." And this became really annoying as the movie moved forward.
So why only three stars? Certainly my tastes have changed since I was a kid, and the scare factor this movie originally had on me is no longer there - and there is nothing else to make up for that. As faithful as an adaptation this is compared to the other versions, as much as I like Jourdan's take on Dracula, as much as I think Finlay and Shepard do justice to their characters, the film as a whole lacks personality. And this is a problem caused by the history of Dracula on film. In the book, the main characters are pretty equal in their part in destroying Dracula. In the movies, it's pretty much van Helsing vs Dracula. This version follows the novel, and the mono en mono aspect is gone.
It's still an enjoyable version, and a must see if you've read the book. 』
(Great DVD for any Count Dracula fan) 『This movie is a little slow. It probably seems that way because it is longer than the average movie. It has none of the hollywood glitz we have become used to these days. But it is a must have for any vampire movie collector or anyone who loved the Dracula book.』 『Devotees of vampire cinema have long esteemed this heretofore hard-to-see adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, made for BBC-TV in 1977.Count Draculaputs Louis Jourdan in the fangs and cape, in a version subtitled--and played as--a Gothic romance. This is one of those 1970s TV productions that use film for exteriors and video for the interiors, a tactic that increases the general sense of cheapness about the whole thing (although the location stuff is good, including scenes on the cliffs of Whitby, the port town where Dracula comes to visit England). With 150 minutes to play with, the production has more of Stoker than many film versions include, although there's still some shuffling of the original. It's all a bit slow, and surprisingly cheesy at times, even with the occasional startling image: Dracula scooting bat-like down the side of his castle, or the vampire brides preparing to devour a baby (a scene cut from some subsequent showings of the series, but restored here). Frank Finlay makes a focused Van Helsing--a minimum of camping, thankfully--and Susan Penhaligon and Judi Bowker are respectively hot and cold as Lucy and Mina. Jourdan is effective, although he's off screen a lot and really gets his good bites in toward the end. You'll need some patience, but Jourdan drinks it dry.--Robert Horton』 『This fan favorite three-part series from the BBC is now available on DVD for the first time! Louis Jourdan stars as the deliciously blood-thirsty Count Dracula in this version of Bram Stoker's horror classic. Keeping close to the original novel the series begins with Jonathan Harker visiting the Count in Transylvania to help him with preparations to move to England. It is in the Count's castle that Jonathan becomes a prisoner and discovers Dracula's true nature. Many scenes shot on location -- such as the Gothic graveyard of London's Highgate Cemetery -- add extra atmosphere to an already powerful production.Running Time: 150 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 794051415325 Manufacturer No: E4153』

(Not too bad...) 『This is a handy little device that makes number punching a lot easier on my laptop. The retractable cable leaves just enough cable on my table so that there is not a mess of extra to deal with. Also, packing this up to take to the library is effortless as the cable retracts in a flash and the device is quite slim.
However, I have a few concerns with this product.
-The rubber feet on this are quite hard, so they do not really cling all that well to some surfaces. If you were to use this exclusively for 10-key data entry, this may become very frustrating as it slides around a little.
-When used for the first time after my laptop hibernates, the first button I punch often does not register. This is sometime hard to keep in mind which is minimally frustrating.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (don't expect any helpful advice from this book) 『I had ordered this book because of the TV show, but more specifically because of the fact that Ace of Cakes is based out of Baltimore. I was completely disappointed by the content and the blitz of the book. I was hoping for step-by-step suggestions or maybe even a few recipes for the fabulous cakes that are made at Ace of Cakes. instead, I got stories about the people who work there and their quirky personalities - somewhat interesting, but not exactly what I was expecting.』
(This one takes the cake: a cake obsessed book made by cake obsessed people for people like to watch a show about cakes...) 『Ace of Cakes: the Inside World of Charm City Cakes, by Duff and Willie Goldman is a somewhat unconventional coffee table book that will appeal to fans of that somewhat unconventional Ace of Cakes reality series. It is heavier on the prose than most such books and the pictures, uncharacteristically small in size for a book such as this, show the incredible variety of cakes made on the show. Although the casual viewer may want to take a pass on this one, this is probably a must read for the hard-core, Ace of Cakes fanatic. The book is a mixture of the enthusiasm, off-beat sense of humor, and love for all-things cake and iced with that rock-star bravado that makes the television show so successful.
Just a quick warning: this is not a book about making cakes. Threre's not a recipe to be found between the covers. If you want a how-to book, Duff gives you a few references at the outset. It is not a book about how to run a cake business. It is a book about the origins of Charm City Cakes, the origins of the Ace of Cakes television series, and all the people that make the business and the show such a success.
Coffee table books are usually first and foremost about the pictures. Quite oddly, most of the pictures inside this book are of a much smaller size than expected. The reason here appears to be two fold: for one, there is a heck of a lot of prose; and two, the authors really wanted to show a lot of pictures of a lot of cakes. In fact, the only fold out, that occurs near the middle of the book, is not a large picture. Rather, it is a collage of a huge number of postage-stamp sized pictures of the many cakes made on the show. This gives you a wide variety of pictures to choose from, but doesn't give you the large, detailed pictures that you might expect in this kind of book.
And then there's the prose. There's a lot of it. This book was not just made for gawking, it was made for reading. We have everything in here from the history of Charm City Cakes to profiles of everyone who works at the bakery and works in production of the show. And in spite of what your preconceived notions might be, these people are not only incredibly well educated, they are well spoken. Duff, himself, really expresses himself in both an authentic, highly articulate, lighthearted, and humorous way. There is a lot of back history about how each person profiled who ended up working at Charm City Cakes or working on the Ace of Cakes television show. In most cases we are also treated to their vital statistics: likes and dislikes, favorite books/movies, favorite cakes etc.
When it comes to the staff Charm City Cakes, you can really tell that the 'characters' that you see on the television shows are exactly who those people are. There are no disappointments here. At least for Ace of Cakes, what you see on TV appears to be what you get.
There is also a complete episode guide with summaries at the end of the book, for the most devoted fans.
Are there any problems with the book? Sure. I would have preferred at least a half-dozen larger pictures of some completed cakes. Also, there are a number of times when the writing refers to cake and a picture of that cake either isn't shown on that page or didn't make it into the book. The profiles of the cast and crew seem incredibly authentic. The ones by the executives, however, don't seem to ring so true. The cast and crew seem to be able to let their guard down, making the executives' profiles seem incredibly humorless and stiff (possibly a hazard of working in network television administration too long).
The narrative is often repetitive--how Duff started Charm City Cakes and the story of how the show was picked up by Food Network, for example, are reiterated too often. Even so, given the lighthearted nature of the writing and that these stories are reiterated by different contributors who had different perspectives, this still makes for a good, quick read.
That being said, this book is just about the most fun to read coffee table book that I have ever read, and really documents the show in that off-beat, unconventional, and non-confrontational way that makes Ace of Cakes the best of the best in reality TV. It's a cake obsessed book made by cake obsessed people for people who like to watch a show about making of cakes. Just like the Ace of Cakes series, I have no idea why this book 'works' or was such a pleasure to read. But I guess that is just the icing on the cake...
』
(A must for fans of the show) 『"Ace of Cakes" that crazy group of artists trying to do things with cake that was not intended to ever happen. This book chronicles life at CCC and what it is like being part of this family. And that is how this book reads, like a family yearbook. A yearbook in which each dysfunctional crazy family member tells you what it like being part of the family. These guys come from all walks of life and upbringings that it is interesting to hear what they have to say.
Beyond that, if you are not really a fan of the show, this book will hold little interest to you. I know many look at the art of baking cakes to be more about taste and flavor, and less about crazy designs. The book is not intended to be an instructional guide either, so beware. It is fun, but I would rather have a 30 min DVD version of this.
』
(Fans of the Show (and Foam-Core) will Spend Hours Poring Over this Text!!) 『Ace of (Foam-Core)(Over-Priced) Cakes: Once upon a time ... I really loved "Ace of Cakes." But the more I watched, the more I questioned how much of the final-product was actually edible? Between the wooden dowels, foam core, plastic inserts, copper tubing, and other inedible add-ons, I realized that I would be fairly annoyed if I invested between $500 and $15,000 (as revealed by Duff in a TV Guide interview) in a "choking-hazard." And, do not even get me started on the "excessive handling" (the germaphobe in me just cringes while watching the show). Soon my attention switched to "Amazing Wedding Cakes" (on the "WE" channel) ...
A funny incident (for Duff): Soo, why did I order this book? I recently saw Duff on Oprah. He and two other cake-artists were commissioned to create a sugary masterpiece which would be judged by the audience. Marina Sousa, Duff Goldman, and The Cake Girls (love them!) unveiled their treats one by one. Duff's was the only cake NOT to focus on Oprah/her life. It was just a (deceptively simple) slice of cherry pie on the end of an oversized fork (whereas the other cakes were either Oprah's face or a collection of her popular expressions). Needless to say, Duff lost (epically). I had a weird sense of embarrassment for him ... still, he did not attempt to appease Oprah with insincere kowtowing. (Of course, Duff's cake was mostly inedible ... the "fork" was actually a pole *sigh*). And, thus began my curiosity about this "guy" who (goofily) dared to make a "cherry pie cake" (that literally had NOTHING to do with Oprah's show)(LOL!!).
Let's get to the book: The book itself could be used as a weapon! It is slightly oversized and super heavy. The printer used a fantastic (i.e. expensive) stock which allows for super saturated colors. (Thank you to the publishers for not "cutting corners" here ... like most would). And the detail is amazing ... every inch of paper is covered with some "bit" of information (even the inside of the covers have maps and blueprints!) And, if you've seen the show, you'll notice a number of the featured cakes. Additionally, an episode guide (complete with "Fun Facts") allows you quick access to those shows aired before this text's printing (always a weird choice since the series is not concluded).
Other facts you my like to know: There is a feature on each employee. It includes vital statistics and then a brief AUTObiographry (how great to read about these "characters" from the artists themselves!) Moreover, the book is filled with massive collages. Now, these are a tad overwhelming to the eye (you'll see why) ... but just like the show, it's all about excess.
If you Tivo "Ace of Cakes" every week ... if you find yourself telling coworkers about it ... if you dream of a foam-core wedding cake (*yummmmm*) ... then, by all means, you will love this visual delight!
P.S. Remove the dust-jacket for a great surprise!! (So clever!)』
(As great as you would expect from them) 『I have been a fan of the "Ace of Cakes" gang since the beginning. I watch the shows over and over again. When I saw there was a book, I immediately ordered it on Amazon. The book is loaded with great pictures. I think what I liked best was that it was a collaborative effort. You get to know more about all the people, not just Duff. It is just a beautifully done book in every way.』 『When Duff Goldman, Food Network's "Ace of Cakes," envisioned Charm City Cakes in Baltimore nearly a decade ago, his goal was to make wonderful cakes for friends and family. As word spread about his fabulous creations, his dream grew into a nationally renowned business staffed by a team of talented professionals, including musicians, artists, and creative souls with experience in architectural modeling, graphic design, deejaying, coffee making, performance art, dog walking, sculpture, painting and more.
Aces of Cakes: Inside the World of Charm City Cakesis a celebration of the bakery that started it all. This colorful scrapbook is loaded with stories about Duff's early days as a graffiti artist turned young chef, his successes and hilarious disasters, and the amazing team he built step-by-step. Through candid interviews and profiles and hundreds of photographs, illustrations, and collages, the book shows how energy, inspiration, collaboration, and a bit of luck can conspire to help anyone achieve their creative vision.
Of course, at the center of this stunning book are Charm City's Cakes. From the simple to the breathtakingly complex, Duff shows off some of the bakery's more unusual techniques and tools that shape their famous creations. He also offers a behind-the-scenes look at his Food Network show, shares his most incredible customer stories and requests, and reveals some of the bakery's favorite cake facts and tips--along with a comprehensive episode guide and a monster cake montage featuring seven years' worth of the bakery's astonishing cake creations.』

The introduction was more in depth on any topic than most of the chapters. First off, I will say I always read about the author and look at the picture... sure she may know what she's talking about but with two toned late 90s hair it's hard to take this seriously.
I think the best advice that was given was the part on not chasing after a guy too much, she had some good example stories. But, this isn't a dating book.
Her suggestion for not getting tagged in bad facebook pictures was to do silly fun things that she listed off. They were not exactly novel ideas, just things that any of us may have already done in high school i.e. getting a makeover at clinique.
I'm extremely disappointed, I have read books in this genre that I did throughly like and I am disappointed in this purchase. I also bought Clinton Kelly's book at the same time and it was a lot more entertaining.』

Modern ladies can be beautiful and intelligent in different ways - and this book tells how. Any general lending library will find this a winner.』
(Reminds readers on the graces of being a lady) 『I wonder how many young women will ask "who is Audrey Hepburn?" I remember her well. She had beauty, class, grace and style. She was confident enough to leave much to the imagination. She was a lady. Jackie O was another lady. She defined the words grace and class. These are the women that were good role models of the past. People noticed them when they walked into a room not because they demanded attention but because their understated grace drew attention.
Today young women grab attention through lack of clothing, brash behavior, foul language and inappropriateness. Jordan Christy reminds readers that at one time tabloid magazines depended on aliens and two head creatures for headlines. Today they simple turn to women that want their name in the news. These are not the role models I want for my children.
Christy reminds readers on the graces of being a lady. She reminds us that when it comes to make up the key is looking natural. Our behavior, our manner of dress, our language all work together to give others a perception of who and what we are. The makeup hints are outstanding. Many of them I already use. However, I was never sure about colors and where to place blush. Christy makes it easy.
I love this book. Women in their 20s seem to be the focus of this book. However, older women will definitely benefit from the contents. I would encourage MS Christy to write a book on the same topic for middle school and high school females. If they learned the definition of grace, style and class before adulthood their life would be much simpler.』
(in a nutshell) 『This little gem is a self help guide for all of those stupid girls in our lives. You know the ones, girls that dress like a street walker, wear far too much make up and drop the f-bomb with, like, every sentence. This books can help them realize the "value of manners, responsibility and modesty."
"It appears as though the majority of our female generation is being represented by a couple of skinny airheads out in LA."
Some of the topics highlighted are make-up application, wardrobe, friendships, men and valuing yourself.
"A good friendship is built on the mutual sharing of ideas, dreams, concerns and fears."
Not only does the book teach stupid girls how to carry themselves with respect and dignity it also celebrates those of us who do that already. The author inundated the book with great quotes by strong feminine role models and entertainment by and/or about strong feminine role models. Some of those include, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Breakfast at Tiffany's Reece Witherspoon, My Best Friends Wedding and America Ferrera, just to name a few. Some great women and entertainment if you ask me. Although I don't claim to be a stupid girl, I still learned a few things from this book. A fun look at women.』
(An AWESOME book!!!) 『I have yet to buy this book, but I'm on the 2nd time borrowing it from the Hurlburt Field library. I found most of the information to be absolutely true and have been finding myself thinking "What would a Hepburn do?" I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan on asking for it for Christmas from my family.』 『In a society driven by celebutante news and myspace profiles, women of class, style and charm are hard to come by. The Audrey and Katharines of the world continue to lose their lustre as thongs, rehab and outrageous behaviour burn up the daily headlines. But, despite appearances, guys still want a girl they can take home to their mother, employers still like to see a tailored suit and peers still respect classy conduct. So is it possible to maintain old fashioned virtues in a modern world without looking like a starchy Amish grandma? Christy shows women how in this guide to glamorous style, professional success and true love...the classy way. Full of fun assignments, notable names and real-life examples, Christy offers a new look at seemingly 'old fashioned' advice.

(Spellbinding) 『These young women have the most fantastic voices ever. Anyone of any age would love their music.』
(Excellent) 『I have not heard anything I could not heartily endorse from the Celtic Woman and this is no exception. Sung with great feeling and intensity and great accompaniment.』
(Beautiful) 『Magnificent blending of voices and simple but beautiful staging. Easy on both the ears and the eyes! Very relaxing and inspirational to hear such artistry. A generous number of selections and worth every cent I paid for it.』 『Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric ("Dúlaman" is best known from Clannad's legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation ("Caledonia," Dougie McLean's love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel's poignant "Laschia Ch'io Pianga"), to movie hits ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a delicately lovely, acappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya's "Newgrange"). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground -- but this is exactly what the act's target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silvercladdaghcharm. --Christina Roden

(On Rock My World, Bret finds a way to have his cake and eat it too) 『The Good A gritty guitar riff followed by an infectious guitar run dominates the opening track "Go That Far." A blusey guitar progression is the prefect match for Michael's breathy vocals as he laments about his current squeeze. "Raine" (whom I believe is Bret's daughter) is a loving and touching acoustic ballad about a special bond. "Bittersweet" inject a little Poison flare with it's energetic groove and singable chorus. It's all acoustics on "Songs of Life." Lyric wise this may just be Bret's most mature work. "Strange Sensation" is one of those arena rockers that will make you want to fight or [...]. Michael's divulges his hidden affection for when his lady gets made at him. "All I Ever Needed" is one of those looking back on life ballads. "It's My Party" is anthemic in it's delivery but quite funny lyrically.
The Bad Nothing notable
The Verdict In the past Bret Michael's solo material has been a bit...how should I say ....boring. He didn't really want to know if he wanted to be an acoustic-blues guy, an arena rocker, or a country singer. On Rock My World, Bret finds a way to have his cake and eat it too. Michael mixes up his still from beginning to end, but still manages to keep it interesting. If you can get Poison out of you head, and listen to this album objectively, you're going to find some really good material.』
(Bret Rocks !!!) 『This is the first solo Bret album that I have purchased, it rocks! Every song is awesome. His voice is soooo pure... I love it !!!』
(OK) 『I'M A BRET MICHAELS FAN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE GREATEST CD, I DO LIKE A COUPLE OF SONGS ON THE CD, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT....』
(Love it!!!) 『Great CD!! I loved it all. Bret is a great musician and a great person. As a fan he will always have my support. Rock on Bret!!!!』 『2008 solo album from the front man for the legendary rock band Poison. Bret has sold more that 25 million albums world-wide, has 15 Top 40 hit singles, and has performed in front of millions of adoring fans. Poison still continues to be one of Rock's top grossing concert attractions. And of course, as the star of Vh1's hugely successful series Rock Of Love, Bret has charmed many a fair maiden. 12 tracks including 'Got That Far', 'Bittersweet', 'It's My Party' and more.』
