Not as brash as Backyard Babies, not as smooth as Hardcore Superstar. Overall it's just Ok. Too bad, I was expecting a lot more with Nikki's endorsment.』
(Rock ON!!!) 『I've come to believe that in order to achieve balance in the cosmos, pretentious, intellectual bands like Radiohead and Coldplay must be balanced by AC/DC worshipping party rockers like Airbourne and Baltimore's own Charm City Devils.
Charm City Devils play raw, unpretentious party rock that owes a lot (everything really) to the godfathers of the genre - AC/DC. The fact that they call their 2009 debut album Let's Rock n' Roll says everything about what to expect when you spin it. It rocks, it's fun, and you don't have to think too hard when you're listening to it.
I'd probably be a little more excited about Charm City Devils if Australian rockers Airbourne hadn't beaten them to the punch early last year with Runnin' Wild, and of course AC/DC's own Black Ice kind of set the bar high for this kind of rock. Still, the world - and the current state of modern rock - can definitely use more of this kind of music.
I'll keep the recommendation simple. If you like to rock, get yourself a copy of Let's Rock n' Roll.』
(Lets Rock n Roll them) 『CCD kicks butt! I have to say I made sure I was at Cruefest early just so I could catch a glimpse of the band Nikki took under his wings. CCD does not falter lyricaly, musicly, they sound just as great in concert as they do on CD. They are being compared to Areosmith (Toys in the Attic) AC/DC, and I agree a little Skidrowish. Ultimatly they are Charm City Devils! They sell themselves.』
(Amazingly Good!!) 『I picked up this CD because Charm City Devils is opening Crüefest II this year and I wanted to hear the new band that was picked for the opening spot.
Let me tell you, I was NOT dissapointed. I put this CD in my car Tuesday and haven't taken it out. From the title track "Let's Rock n Roll" to the final track "Burn Baby Burn" this CD rocks, and at times, ROCKS HARD!
Many people are comparing Charm City Devils to AC/DC. If you like AC/DC then pick this up. I have all AC/DC's albums, and in my humble opinion, I think Charm City Devils has a more updated sound, and at times, a heavier sound. Being compared to AC/DC is a compliment for any band, but if you aren't a fan of AC/DC, don't let that stop you from getting this. The vocals are awesome, the musicmanship is amazing... Charm City Devils is going to be the suprise hit of Crüefest II, I promise!
In a year, when all your friends start asking you if you've ever heard of Charm City Devils, be the one that says "Where have you been?" Don't let this one pass you by!』
(Lets Rock N Roll !!!!) 『Charm City Devils is the first band to be signed by Eleven Seven president Nikki Sixx. This band must be something very special for him to sign them to his label. This is straight up rock n roll with a little Ac/Dc flavor thrown in. Their debut CD rocks! Any rock fan will love this be sure to pick it up!』 『2009 album from the Nikki Sixx-approved Hard Rockers from Baltimore, Maryland (formerly known as Forty Acres and Chosen Son). Fronted by John Allen, Charm City Devils are a throwback to the days of Aerosmith and AC/DC, yet they remain firmly rooted in the now. Many fans caught them on Crue Fest #2 during their sold-out trek across the U.S. and have earned even more fans when they released the album's lead-off single 'Let's Rock 'N' Roll'.』

(A True Delight) 『This CD is advertised as having charm, humour and sincerity. All true. My husband has been telling me for over 20 years about Burl Ives singing Ghost Riders in the Sky, but I didn't pay much attention. I mean, I have heard that song by other artists before, and it didn't impress me. Then finally, one day I was trying to think of some little gift for him to show that I love him so much, and this song came to mind. I went on Amazon, typed in the song and artist, and there it was. Clicked "Buy It Now", and promptly forgot about it. In short order, there it was in the mailbox, and hubby out of town. I opened it (remember, it was bought as a present for HIM), and just sat and smiled and smiled and smiled as I listened. The Riders In the Sky brought tears to my eyes. I have heard that song before, but never like this version!! Every song is a feast to the ears. Pure listening pleasure. I suspect I will have to order my own since we have separate offices!!!』
(Finally a great Burl Ives compilation!) 『Burl fans have waited years for a quality CD which includes most of his great songs. Though this compilation omits a few of his treasures, it's still the best Greatest Hits package out there. If you own only one Burl Ives album, then make it this one. Unfortunately, current marketers rehash many of Ives' worst songs, the ones geared towards small children, basically novelty songs. Unfortunately, there are a couple of these clunkers of this album, but you can easily skip over those.
Most of this is an adult album with some of the most common-sense and beautiful singing you will ever hear. Many of the cuts were recorded in 1960 with just Burl, his guitar and a few special effects. The songs are American standards and Burl's interpretation is marvelous throughout. His penetrating, unique voice will send shivers down your spine with his rendition of Riders in the Sky. There are some curious omissions, like Mule Train, John Henry and Lindy Lou. You can buy"Wayfaring Stranger"for those gems.
Ives is a master at singing these songs and this is a honest, stripped-down, unadorned masterpiece. They don't make music like this anymore, and as far as this genre goes, this is as good as it gets.』

While not the southern rocker's most explosive creation, the underrated disc track-for-track solidly outperforms some older and many newer songs.』
(NOT ENOUGH STARS TO GIVE.) 『When I first put this in my player, it slowly grew on me.Had to stop a song, play again.Stop a song, play again, etc.My toes started curling around "Girl from a pawnshop".What more can you expect from a man who has more soul than(GASP!) 1972 Mick Jagger!And the moves too! But enough of the comparisons.The Crowes stand on their OWN with this one.To me, this is way up there with 'Southern companion,Amorica,The lost crowes, and Warpaint.Their first we all know is a classic.Commercial, but classic.You reading this, well you need this.MUST OWN.』
(A unique gem in the Crowes catalog, and unjustly forgotten. Screw the naysayers.) 『When this album came out, it was sorely dismissed as a rather bland and boring psychedelic rock album by a band who has seen their rise and peak 4 years earlier. Tis a shame, becuase I think this is the best Crowes album yet. It doesn't get more free-flowing and more beatiful than this. On this album, the Crowes get a little more versatile and a little softer than previous releases. While Amorica was loud and harsh, this album is more laid-back and easy going. Right from the get go, Under A Mountain takes a while to get under your skin, but when it does, it's quite amazing. Good Friday sets the "Sunday Afternoon" vibe with lap steel, stinging harmonica, and banjo, a bit reminescent of Harvest-era Neil Young. Of course, they haven't forgotten how to rock on this album, as it contains some of the best bluesy-based southern rock the band has ever created. Share The Ride plows on with a Bo Diddley-type groove, One Mirror Too Many and Evil Eye throw Beatles-psychedelia into their tapestry, and (Only) Halfway To Everywhere and Blackberry bring in a Sly and the Family Stone funkness to the mix. There's also some beautiful uplifting balladry, whether it's the Zeppelin-esque Bring On, Bring On or the sheer hippie beauty of How Much For Your Wings? These guys are all over the place on this album. It's a shame it got terrible reviews, as it is a real peak in the band's canon and creativity. They wouldn't shine like this for a long time (Lions comes a bit close, and Warpaint only works half the time). Get it if you're a true Crowes fan and a true believer of rock and roll.』
(Compression and diminishing Marc Ford) 『You should own it if you like the Black Crowes. It's a good record. Marc Ford seems to be further into the mix and less flashy this time around and the production begins a more compressed sound continued on 'By Your Side' which sounds a little too glossy for the Crowes - compared to the organic sound of much of 'Southern Harmony'. Still, it has some interesting moments and good songs.』
(Great Stuff for a Departure) 『This album was yet another departure for this dynamic and innovative band. And it is awesome. Under A Mountain, Good Friday then Nebakanezer is a hugely strong start to the album.
The remaining songs are a mixed lot of different styles, some quite lo-fi with others being vivacious as ever. Three Snakes and One Charm takes a bit of getting used to at first, but once you get there, it is a brilliant outing.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (very pleasantly surprised) 『I read some of the other reviews on this dvd, and was expecting ... maybe a dud ... but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't find Dolphina's references to religion, chakras, or any of the other less-than-commercial ideologies to be detrimental - more her personal view of the inner workings of the dance. I enjoyed it, and found it to be well planned and beautifully presented. Some of the production values - sound, and camera angles, could have been better... (sometimes you can't see her feet, for a move, sometimes the crashing ocean makes her words difficult to hear), but overall I found it to be an excellent value, an enjoyable session, and probably a lot more akin to the dances of our ancient mothers, in character, than some of the Raqs Sharqi instructionals structured in discipline like a modern ballet class.
Teru』
(Dolphina) 『I have to admit Dolphina is quite the character but once you get past her random references to chakras, past lives and exercises that make,"magical things happen" you realize that it's a pretty ok DVD. It has a warm up, exercises, routines and a cool down. It adds a little spice to what would normally be boring and mundane squats, lunges and ab work but because you're dancing and focusing on your body's movements, you're less aware of the burn you feel when you get a good work out. It's not incredibly intense but some dances are challenging and I'm thinking, Dolphina slow down -like when she just goes off the deep end shimmying into oblivion. You get better each time you do the dvd, you are exercising but it's fun.』 『More than a mere body workout, The Goddess Workout is for the body, mind and spirit.

(USA - 1998)
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1 Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Digital
The life of an aspiring Baltimore photographer (Edward Furlong) is turned upside down when his neighborhood snap-shots are embraced by the New York Art-set.
John Waters takes a satirical swipe at the bubble-headed Art world in this low-profile entry, which adheres closely to the template established in his earlier 'mainstream' works (HAIRSPRAY, CRY-BABY, etc.). Waters' own screenplay includes a wide assortment of eccentric characters, engaged in an uneasy truce with conservative doomsayers who cluck loudly from the sidelines, and he paints the mix in vivid colors, providing a unique visual backdrop for cartoon-like performances which teeter precariously on the brink of caricature.
Furlong and co-star Christina Ricci are blank but charming, an 'ordinary' couple who retreat into anonymity as their lives are consumed by the demands of those around them: Furlong's naive parents (Mary Kay Place and Mark Joy), fag-hag sister (Martha Plimpton), sugar-addicted brat sibling (Lauren Hulsey), and the Art crowd who live in their own little world, far removed from everyday reality (their reaction when forced to travel from New York to Baltimore is priceless!). Amusing rather than laugh out loud funny, the movie will divide viewers from the outset; die-hard fans of this director's worldview, however, will be bowled over by his daring. 』
(Peck peck Pecker) 『I love John Water's and pretty much anything he does. Pecker is just another one of his sick little masterpieces...Its funny, and touching. Its one of my favorites. but i think you'll have to be a Water's fan to really enjoy this movie.』
(Photograph Everything!) 『Pecker is a film about a young man who is a photographer. He takes photos of everything. His photos are noticed in a makeshift photo gallery by someone important in the industry. The humor in this film is great its funny without being over-the-top like say maybe Will Ferrel's or Jim Carey's stuff. Edward Furlong is great in this one, as is Christina Rici. A very easy to watch film.』
(John waters down his earlier work in a futile attempt to make it more palatable) 『Pecker (Edward Furlong) is a naive artist who likes to take pictures of his family and friends in Baltimore. His name is derived from the fact that as a child he pecked at his food. He works at a sandwich shop, and is excited about having his first exhibition. It is a very amateur affair, but through some fluke he is discovered. Pecker's out-of-focus snapshots are being compared to Diane Arbus, but with empathy, and his work is sought by the New York Art Elite. Gallery owner Rorey Wheeler (Lili Taylor) is especially taken with the new artiste on the block, and attempts to lure him from his girlfriend, Shelley (Christina Ricci), who is too busy enforcing nazi-like rules at her laundrymat to notice at first.
Film maker John Waters (Pink Flamingoes, Hairspray, Polyester, Cry Baby, etc.) takes aim at New York elitists (he is from Baltimore), art snobs, censorship, and the unintended consequences of fame on an artist and their friends and relations (who might serve as raw material or inspiration); but unfortunately, nothing sticks. Best moment was at Pecker's 2nd exhibition when he temporarity turns the tables on the art snobs, who cry out "Here's to the end of Irony!" before realising the show is mocking them. Or did I dream that? I borrowed Pecker from the local library and had to return it before I could watch a second time to verify. Waters' film, Pecker is really just a gallery of grotesques, but without the empathy of a Diane Arbus.
Furlong and Ricci are two prime examples of child actors who met with early success, but while Furlong may have been jinxed, possibly by Pecker, Ricci seems able to bounce freely between family fare (Casper, That Darn Cat, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Speed Racer) and edgier fare (The Opposite of Sex, The Ice Storm, Black Snake Moan, Prozac Nation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)--sometimes even within the same film (Little Red Riding Hood, The Addams Family, Addams Family Values).
Films of Edward Furlong
Detroit Rock City (New Line Platinum Series) (1999) .... Hawk is trying to scam his way into a KISS concert. All that street cred down the tubes. American History X (1998) .... Danny Vinyard is the younger brother of Edward Norton's white supremist--who tries to stop him from following his racist ways. The Grass Harp (1995) .... Furlong plays Collin Fenwick in this movie based on a novel by Truman Capote. American Heart (1992) .... Nick Kelson is the son of an alchoholic drug addict who is trying to straighten out. Jeff Bridges plays the father, so Furlong is now officially Dude, Jr. Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (The Ultimate Edition DVD) (1991) .... John Connor is the whole pivot on which the plot turns. Quite an auspicious debut, and it can't hurt to know the Governator.
Films of Christina Ricci
Black Snake Moan (2006) .... Rae is played by Ricci in the other movie about snakes starring Samuel L. Jackson besides Snakes on a Plane. The Opposite of Sex (1998) .... Ricci is at it again as Dede Truitt, stirring up more trouble. The Ice Storm (1997) .... As Wendy Hood Ricci seduces not one but two brothers, but it is the Nixon mask that still gives me nightmares. The Addams Family / Addams Family Values (1991) .... Wednesday Addams Mermaids (1990) .... Ricci's Kate Flax is the little sister of Winona Ryder and the daughter of Cher. Quite an auspicious debut. Call Jean Keane to paint her portrait. Ooops, she already did.
Memama: Sometimes there's things more important than pit beef.

(WITH A NAME LIKE PECKER..........................!) 『I don't know why I like these types of film so much, maybe because the stories are not stamped out of a production assembly line. 'Pecker' is a smart and funny film with a good cast and lots of quirky characters. I did think it strange that they portrayed Baltimore locals as a bunch of whackos but, the film is very good and carries a good message. I caught this on cable so, if you see it on TV....check it out. I rate it 3 3/4 stars.』 『Meet a fun-loving kid fromt he wrong side of the tracks who picks up a second-hand camera and starts snapping his way to stardom. Fame is both instant and disappointing forcing pecker to realize that when life stinks the least you can do is get it on film. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 05/10/2005 Starring: Edward Furlong Martha Plimpton Run time: 87 minutes Rating: R Director: John Waters』 『Pecker (so named, at least according to his grandmother, because he always pecks at his food) loves to use the camera to capture his fellow Baltimore residents living their daily lives. Of course, since this is a John Waters movie, those daily lives include visits to strip bars, shoplifting, and various other quirky, and frequently hilarious, human activities. When Pecker's makeshift photo exhibit comes to the attention of a New York art agent (Lili Taylor), Pecker becomes the latest sensation. Unlike the hero in most sudden-fame stories, however, Pecker, as played by Edward Furlong, isn't exactly an innocent; rather, he takes in the world with his eyes, and his mind, wide open. So instead of suffering a precipitous fall, Pecker eventually turns the tables on his more worldly New York peers.
While not as outrageous as early Waters features such asFemale TroubleandPink Flamingos,Peckerstill has something to offend just about everyone. But those who take the offenses to heart would be missing out on what amounts to a sweet-natured farce. The movie is not so much a pointed satire as a gentle teasing of the art world and its pretensions. The all-embracing world of John Waters allows for lovable freaks from the big city, too.
The movie sags a bit when it settles into its plot; it can't sustain the comic inspiration reached in the opening scenes of Pecker's encounters with Baltimore's misfits. But running gags about a sugar-addicted child and a ventriloquist-doll Virgin Mary are hilarious. What ultimately makes the movie such a pleasure, though, is Waters's genuine fondness for all of his characters. Aided by a charming cast, including Christina Ricci and Waters regulars Mink Stole and Patty Hearst, Waters has created a surprisingly touching ode to human eccentricity.--Chris Neman』

(A must have for old movie junkies like me) 『I have been waiting for this one. The music is great and Susan Hayward never looked so beautiful. Her gowns could be worn on the red carpet today.

I'd been searching for the VCR tape awhile, and then here's the DVD. I thank the producers of this DVD; and thank Amazon for making it available. My only criticism of the DVD was the lack of any clips of Ms. Froman singing (or even speaking) in the Special Features.』 『Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 11/13/2007 Run time: 117 minutes Rating: Nr』 『From radio star to wartime inspiration, the life of singer Jane Froman (the incomparable Susan Hayward) was made for the silver screen. The opening titles proclaim it "The story of a girl and the story of a voice. The girl is Jane Froman, the voice is her own" (Froman provided Hayward's vocals). Born in Missouri, the contralto finds fame in Cincinnati before conquering Chicago, New York--and songwriter Don Ross (David Wayne), her first husband. When her plane crashes en route to a USO engagement, Froman risks losing her legs, and fears she'll never perform again. In the hospital, she bonds with Pilot John Burn (Rory Calhoun) and wise-cracking nurse Clancy (All About Eve's Thelma Ritter). In the process, she falls for Burn and returns to the stage.With a Song in My Heartfollows the basic biopic template--rise, fall, and resurrection--but Technicolor maestro Walter Lang (The King and I) throws in a few surprises, like narration by the supporting cast and an appearance by a handsome young Robert Wagner as a shell-shocked paratrooper. He also showcases an array of glittering gowns and a myriad of musical numbers, including Rodgers and Hart's stirring title track. Two featurettes and an interview with Burn reveal that Froman's life was even more difficult than that of her fictional counterpart. Though she marks an exception among Hayward's edgy on-screen personas--notably her Academy Award-winning convict inI Want to Live!--the auburn-haired actress invests the vocalist with innate decency and persuasive talent.--Kathleen C.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Tom Jones) 『This film is still a delightful romp through English countryside and the eighteenth century. Entertaining and enchanting.』
(Tom Jones) 『Funny movie, even if dated (1963). I was a senior in high school and vividly remember the times. Good acting and clear video. I'm very pleased.』
(Oh Tom, You Devil) 『What a fun movie. Great cast. Costumes really add to the atmosphere. And the music is terrific. "Tom Jones" is in my top ten movies I have seen, what a rush. And a great story line. You can't help rooting for this rake. Love the scene with the oysters. Buy this flic, you cannot go wrong.』
(It's a delightfully good time...) 『It has charm and humor to spare, that is for sure, and it is rich with wonderful performances and witty dialog but calling it the best movie of the year seems like a stretch. I so adore it, which goes without saying, and I enjoy every minute, but it is just a good movie that provides a good time, and it never feels like more than that.
Does that make any sense?
The film follows Tom, the adopted son of a British squire. He's a lady-charmer of sorts, planting his seed wherever he may lie and loving every minute of it. When Tom falls for the beautiful Sophie, the daughter of a neighboring squire, things begin to heat up for Tom. Jealousies within the family cause Tom to eventual flee only to get himself in more and more trouble. He's a kindhearted and well intentioned young man who just doesn't know when to stop.
`Tom Jones' is a very funny movie that sports a stellar cast of comedic performances, as well as some touching and sincere ones. Albert Finney received his first of many Oscar nominations for this film, and he was definitely deserving (it was such a good year in this category). He is charming and witty, enough so to make even Tom's most reprehensible of actions forgeable. High Griffiths and Edith Evans ham it up in their roles, providing an abundance of comic relief, and Susannah York is stunning and beautifully tempered as Sophie.
There isn't a sore spot to be found within the acting at all.
The script is also delightfully written, engaging and funny throughout, sporting some very memorable moments and some intriguing character development. I loved the voice over narration, which provided the film with a literary feel that complemented its comedic tone. It is very well constructed and wonderfully put directed.
The fact remains that while I cannot find a single flaw I just cannot name it the best of the year. I think when you consider the films that were provided to us in 1963 `Tom Jones' kind of falls towards the middle of the list. Films like `Hud' or `This Sporting Life' were much stronger works and much more poignant and influential. `8½' is another example of a film that is much smarter and much more technically proficient than `Tom Jones'. This film is splendid and entertaining but its well does not run as deep as some of the years other offerings. Top ten maybe (I'd give it an A-), but not top five and definitely not numberone.
Oh well, it is till a wonderful film and one that I will continue to watch and enjoy for years to come.』
(Tom Jones) 『A very good print of the original movie. A classic effort for foreign film during the 60's. Outshines many current efforts at period comedy.』 『Winner of four Academy Awards including best picture, director, screenplay, and music, this 1963 adaptation of Henry Fielding's classic novel is a rousing, bawdy comedy about a young man's ribald adventures in 18th-century England. Albert Finney is splendidly hilarious in the title role of a charming womanizer who was discovered as an abandoned infant in the bed of Squire Allworthy, a wealthy landowner who named the child Tom Jones and raised him as his own. As a young man, Tom yearns for the comely daughter (Susannah York) of a neighboring squire, but his amorous adventures (including an extended food orgy that becomes the film's funniest scene) lead him to London and to a duel with a jealous husband. He's sentenced to hang, but fate intervenes. A hit around the world, the film was expertly written by noted playwright John Osborne, and director Tony Richardson uses a variety of old-style movie techniques to heighten the lusty, good-natured fun.

Chocolate Lucky Charms is much better than Count Chocula (another chocolate&marshmallow cereal made by GM).

The corn-based Chocolate Lucky Charms cereal has a richer chocolate taste that Count Chocula and stays crispier in milk- right down to your last bite!
Speaking of milk...the chocolate milk left behind in your bowl after noshing your Chocolate Lucky Charms is a beautiful thing...just pick up your bowl and slurp it down...you know you want to! ;)』
(Best Lucky Charms Ever!!!) 『The Chocolate Lucky Charms is by far better than the regular flavored one. My kids love it so much that I order a case of 6 monthly. Please always keep it in stock! Give it a try. Bet you will love it as much as we do!!!』
(Good but....Did they change their formula?) 『The Chocolate Lucky Charms was very good but the the chocolate pieces tasted a little different compared to what I purchased at a local store. I think the formula may have been changed a little, the chocolate pieces remind me of Cocoa Puffs now and they were more like chocolate Cheerios before. Either way still good!』
(Almost perfect just could use more marshmellows) 『Good chocolate cereals are certainly hard to come by and Chocolate Lucky Charms is no exception. In my area, its strictly limited to Walgreen's and I was ecstatic to find it. Has the same great taste as regular Lucky Charms just that there are fewer marshmellows. The distribution seems to be similar to Crunch Berries. I also think this wil make a great substitute for my other favorite cereal, Cap N' Crunch Choco Crunch which was discontinued earlier this year. The more chocolate, the better! ;)』
(Beware! GM has changed this cereal!) 『Some time in the last year or so, General Mills changed this from being an oat cereal to being a corn cereal. The oat cereal was GREAT, like chocolate cheerios with marshmallows, but the corn version is less chocolatey tasting and has a completely different texture. It really is much worse. Also it has gone from 50% RDA of folic acid to 25%, and 1 g of fat to 1.5 g.
I wish I had known that before I bought 6 boxes. Fortunately I still had one of the old boxes (it takes me forever to get to the recycling place!) so I could prove to myself that I wasn't crazy.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Very Stylish) 『I am in love with cherry blossoms and i received so many compliments on this skin. the only thing that stops me from giving it a 5 star ratingis the fact that it takes a lot of time to apply it correctly.』
(Very nice!) 『The stickers are nice and pretty thick actually. I was impressed with the material of them. So far they haven't scratched or worn off or come off the phone. The display picture was easy to get as well. They give you a link in the package and ask you to put in a code and then you get either a text or email message with the picture attached. Pretty simple. If you're looking to decorate your blackberry I recommend this product/brand.』
(Love it!) 『I really like the way this skin looks on my new Blackberry Curve 8310. I get lots of compliments and it suits my colorful pesonality while protecting my cute phone's outter shell from any scratches. The only reason why I didn't rate it 5 stars is because the skin comes with a web address where you are supposed to go to download your screensaver to match the skin color.... but for some odd reason MY skin design wasn't available (Pink Tranquility). I have tried visiting the site for weeks to see if they get it and it just reads "skin design not available".』
I've never bothered with skins before, but I thought why not when I bought this Blackberry, and I am so happy with it. It looked just like it does in the pictures and everybody thinks it's a special phone, they don't even realize it's a "skin".』 『This scatch resistant skin sticker helps to protect your Blackberry Curve 8300/ 8310/ 8320 while making an impression.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Good Product) 『I bought one for my office and now one for my home. Yes it is made out of plastic. Locks are to keep honest people out. I doubt my employees will pry the thing open. This is just a good way to organize the keys. There is plenty of space between pegs so you are not overcrowded. I tried metal boxes but the locks did not work well and were difficult to open. I like that this is an electronic lock. There is plenty of space to hang keys. There is even a little container built into the door that can hold keys that don't have a ring on them. Remember this box and even a metal box can be pulled off the wall and taken.』
(Decent solution for key storage) 『This key cabinet is a nice unit for storing keys, though I'm not sure how secure the thin plastic will actually keep them. If that's your chief concern, you may want to go with a metal version. The push button entry is easy to program and works well, however the door is a bit difficult to open (we installed a small pull on the front of the door to make that easier). For the price... not a bad buy.』
(Pleased overall.) 『A decent product. The pegs inside are a little inconvienient to use. The keybox is also plastic so you must be careful during instalation. If you don't install it square the door will not open and close properly.』
(Real cheap and flimsy) 『I bought one and returned immediately. THis is a very poorly made cheap plastic product. Do not waste your time and money.』
(It locks....) 『Well the cabinet locks, but it is entirely made of plastic. The electronic code resets back to the factory setting when the batteries are removed also. I gave it two stars because it does lock, but I don't think it could keep keys away from anyone older than five.』 『This key cabinet is an electronic locking cabinet with 19,500 changeable combinations and lockout feature. Audio signals indicate if your code was entered correctly. Also features a hidden chamber for long-term storage of keys. The 10 peg hooks adjust for large sized key rings and comes with 7 removable key tags. Low battery indicator (batteries not included). This key storage cabinet is ideal for small offices or wherever key control is a problem. This plastic home key cabinet is black with gray trim. Easy to mount, all hardware is included. .』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Poor Quality) 『The product looked good and arrived on time. After 2 weeks of using the product though the outside started tearing from the frame. I'm pretty upset about it because I dont have a lot of stuff in the wallet. I'll spend more money next time on a better quality wallet so I dont have to repurchase one.』
(cute, but beware that material wears away from edges) 『I love this wallet (very cute&multi-functional as a wallet and purse - see all the above reviews raving about it), but be prepared to replace it in about 6 months. The material begins tearing away from the outer edges. After which point, it looks more ridiculous than chic. It also cannot accommodate a lot of cards, bills or any change.』
(Great wallet) 『I purchased this wallet about a year ago and it still looks like new. Both my mom and mother-in-law liked it so much that they each ordered one for themselves. The only drawback I could say is that it doesn't offer much space, but that, to me, is a plus. That was the reason my mother in law bought it...because her poor wallet had become a mess of stuff she didn't need and she couldn't find the important things. You carry exactly what you need and it is always easy to find.』

I was surprised to find that it isn't yet another book with decorative ideas like flower arranging or table settings - though I'm a sucker for those and have a shelf full - it concentrates instead on architecture, wall colors and finishing and many other detailed tips and instructions that will permanently give your house a Tuscan Charm. This is not about a ten minute decorative "fix" , these are changes only an architect familiar with the Tuscan magic could suggest and describe. The book wasn't what I expected, it is better than that. Wish the builders came with it!』
(Lush beauty and sensible know-how) 『The photographs by Simon McBride are up to his usual high standard and can help guide anyone interested in creating Italian charm in his/her own home to the desired point. And Elizabeth Minchilli has written practical information for step-by-step processes for treating walls, doorways, windows, floors, ceilings, etc., with a special Italian flair. You don't have to be a millionaire to achieve the warm feeling of an Italian family home! Italian Rustic is a good buy for lovers of Italian decor.』
(Tuscan Charm) 『This book is a great gift for anyone interested in design and craft! Beautiful pictures - great illustrations and helpful hints. You can create your own Tuscan home anywhere - a resource list in back even if you just want a few Tuscan touches! A must to have! 』
(Italian Delight) 『Elizabeth's latest work is simply delightful, as all her previous books are. If one is lucky enough to own a property in Italy, the book can serve as an immense support when restoring or improving house and grounds. For all other Italy lovers it is a perfect chance to inhale the glory of this wonderful country. Complementi to the author as well as to Simon McBride the equally gifted photographer.』 『A celebration of Tuscan farmhouse style, with practical advice on how to bring the look home.
For anyone who has ever dreamed of living under the Tuscan sun,Italian Rusticis the next best thingâa step-by-step guide to recreating the romance and appeal of the weathered Italian farmhouse. This nuts-and-bolts guide to building Italian-style walks the reader through all the elements that make the rustic Italian home so unique, from the hand-laid stone walls to the artisanal stucco wall finishes.
Author Elizabeth Minchilli, an American design writer based in Rome and Tuscany, received dozens of questions from readers after publishing her last book, Artisan'sRestoring a Home in Italy. The queries went beyond the usual searches for fabric and couches. "People were hungry to know how terra-cotta tiles were laid, or how fireplaces were built," she says.Italian Rustic, researched with the help of her Italian architect husband, is the user-friendly result: a book that explains, in clear text accompanied by photographs and drawings, how to lay a tile floor a la Italiana, or add a Tuscan-style pergola to any garden.
With more than 300 stunning photographs shot on location in Tuscany and Umbria, the book contains profiles of local artisans, engaging text on how the farmhouse style evolved, and targeted advice on how Americans can find Italian-style building materials and craftsmen close to home. This essential sourcebook will appeal to anyone building an addition or an entire house from scratch, or for homeowners who want to add just a touch of Italian style to their houses.

The personal stories of cat encounters are touching and you'll laugh or cry reading them. You will also recognize cats you have owned (or rather cats who have owned you) and remember each feature unique to them as you read this book.』
(A bit too sad...?) 『I would recommend this book to anyone, especially those dastardly dog-lovers who think cats are aloof&inferior. I do have to issue a warning about the chapter titled 'Farewell, My Love' though - don't read it if you are feeling vulnerable! It is very, very, very, very, very sad. I think the other reviewers have significantly underrated the 'crying element' to this book. My husband came home to find me red-eyed, shaken&exhausted after spending an afternoon in this particular chicken soup! Luckily there is a lovely, warm chapter about rescue kitties right after it which helps to restore one's equilibrium somewhat. All in all, it made me love not just my own babies more but all cats!』
(My First Chicken Soup Soul Book!) 『The stories are wide ranged in nature but sorted in chapters where you can identify with your specific cat joy or sorrow. Some of the authors are well known. Others are amateurs who love a cat. The list of Contributors and Permissions speaks for itself. This book is truly literature for cat lovers. I read every story and love them all.』
(Purrrfect!) 『What a wonderful collection! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me grab my own 2 kitties for a big hug. I like the idea of an anthology. I can take the book to work and read a story or two during lunch break. I also bought "A Cup of Comfort for Cat Lovers." If you like stories about cats you'll like that book as well.』
(IT HELPED ME) 『I had recently lost my favorite cat, and was looking for something to help me get over my lost. I came across this book&reading stories of other people and their cats helped me get over my loss, especially the part about other people losing their cats! It does help your soul, when you lose your one true friend. I recommend this book highly!!!』 『
Cats first purred their way into human hearts thousands of years ago, and have been our treasured companions and soul mates ever since. Whether impish kittens, regal adult cats or serene seniors, it’s impossible for us to remain indifferent to themâespecially at 4 A.M. when the food bowl runs dry! So smile at their many "c'attitudes," and feed your feline passion by "purr-using" wonderful stories like these:
A Russian blue comforts his mourning owner by faithfully bringing her flowers
An heroic red tabby Manx saves the family he loves from a lethal gas leak in their home
A Devon rex with extraordinary talentsâincluding playing the pianoâexpands people's notions of what a cat can do
A fish-loving shorthair nearly loses his head while scavenging in the garbage disposalâbut lives to meow about it
A three-legged kitty befriends a lonely third-grade girl, transforming her world and inspiring her future success in life
From playful and hilarious accounts of life with cats to heartwarming tales of cat courage, healing and learning, each touching story in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul celebrates the special bond we share with our cats.

I would recommend this to ANYONE!』
(Great Information) 『This book has many photos and a ton of information. Exactly what I have been looking for!』 『Do you work magic with herbs? Do you use them in spells, for talismans or simply use their innate powers? If you don't haveCunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs,you need to get it right away. This book has become a classic in its field. Paul Beyerl, a respected author on herbs calls it " an essential reference book by students of herbalism and magick alike Scott's personable charm touches every page I highly recommend this book." And Jeanne Rose, famous author of books on herbs and developer of an herbal course says "I love books like this It is accessible, easy to read, and with its encompassing index (all too often neglected), simple to use as well." Over 200,000 people already have this book and use it frequently. In this edition of the book (it's expanded and revised on the 15th anniversary of original publication) you will find the magical properties and folklore of over 400 herbs! You'll also find lists of herbs based on their magical powers, their genders, their planetary rulers, and more. Perhaps the most important list is the folk name cross-reference. With that information, when a recipe calls for "bramble, " you'll know it needs blackberry. Or if the magic calls for "enebro," you'll know you that is juniper. The main part of this book is the listings of the herbs. Each one includes names, associations, and magical attributions. Violets can be used for protection, luck, love, and more. Primrose is for protection and love. Garlic is for protection, healing, exorcism, lust, and prevention of theft. This book is considered a classic. It is probably consulted more than any other book on this subject. If you want to learn the secrets of magical herbs, this book is a must!
