(Great Cookware at Resonable Price!) 『I've purchased two sets about six months ago and had a chance to use every piece. I have to say that this set is a bargain, but noticed that Cuisinart Multiclad Pro is what I would prefer over this set (if money was no object). I've purchased the Multiclad Pro 3 qt saucepan and the 5-1/2 qt pan to compliment this set, and love the true triple ply and heavier gauge sides which prevents scorching. Can't compare this set to the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro set that cost two to three times as much (or All-Clad)...and I'm quite happy that I have purchased this set!
As for the 10-piece set, I agree with the high praise from many already posted. This is a very good set for a resonable price. Would it last a lifetime? Probably not but I will get good use out of it for at least ten years. Sides of pan are a bit thin and will flex slightly (compared to the Multiclad models). If the pan fell from my hanging rack, it would probably dent. You can hang the pots with lids on, though one would have to be careful not to knock them off. One of the lids came off and hit the countertop then the floor, but survived the fall without any damage. My favorite is the 3 qt saucepan and the 3-1/2 qt saute.
Cameo or Bar Keepers Friend does a good job of cleaning up residue that can't be cleaned up with standard dish washing soap or in the dishwasher. I have some pitting on the interior of pan from throwing salt from soft-boiling eggs or pasta. Pitting does not impact the performance, but a bit ugly looking (doesn't bother me as this set was inexpensive and I've purchased to use everyday). I've done a comparison between the 3 qt provided in this set compared to the Multiclad 3 qt. I was surprised that using same amount of water an at same size gas burners with switching the pans every minute to ensure even heating, Chef's Classic boiled water quicker than the Multiclad by at least a minute (I'm a professional engineer and a bit quirky that way).
I've also purchased the anodized non-stick pans by Cuisinart and been using the glass lids from that set on the Chef's Classic. Since purchasing the stainless set, my non-stick pans are in storage and though they are fairly new, teflon started coming off from the top of the cookware where lid meets the pan. I realize the professionals use metal lids as it keeps in the heat better and easier to clean, but I do like to see what's going on inside the cookware when I'm cooking. I'm starting to get used to the metal lids. This set has also retired my Lodge cast iron cookware to use only on the grill, as the stainless base heat retention is great and much easier to clean and maintain.
I would highly recommend this set to anyone who wants a long lasting cookware, likes to use metal utensils with their cookware as long as they don't mind superficial scratches(instruction manual states that non-metallic utensils be used), enjoys developing fond (brown bits) for making tasty sauces, or simply wants a cookware that one can abuse without having to worry about ingesting Teflon, this set would be very satisfactory. If you want the absolute best and spend considerable time in the kitchen, spend more for the Cuisinart Multiclad or All-Clad and don't complain about the little details. For most everyone else out there, this set would be quite adequate. Happy cooking!
Other Info: As for interchangeability with Cuisinart Multiclad line, 3-qt line has different size lids as Multiclas line has deeper Saute pans. Frying pans are the same size. Pam or similar cooking spray should be avoided as they will bake on to the pans and will be difficult to remove. I've started to cook eggs on real butter mixed with olive oil. Wow! Eggs are so much better than cooked on the non-stick skillet with spray oil. Everything in moderation, but I've been learning to live a little and exercise more to make up.』
(Mom's Birthday) 『I recently purchased this set for my mother's birthday. She had been telling me that she needed some stainless steel cookware, so I surprised her. She absolutley loves her new set and she's so proud of it. I highly recommend this cookware.』
(Cuisineart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set) 『Love my new set of pans. Clean up so nicely. Just remember to cook with lower heat.』
(Very good product) 『I purchased the set for my wife as our old set had worn out after 15 years. A friend of ours also has this set and has had them for 2 years. She loves them. We purchased ours and found that they do a great job and are easy to clean if you follow the simple care instructions. This is a very good product.』 『Endorsed by none other than the legendary French chef Paul Bocuse (the only restaurateur in the world to be awarded the prestigious Michelin 3 Stars for over 36 consecutive years), Cuisinart's Chef's Classic stainless cookware is high quality, yet affordable. Unlike many lines of cookware, it can go in the dishwasher for clean up, yet the aluminum core within the base provides even and efficient heating. If you've been thinking of investing in a new set of pots and pans, you'd do well to consider Cuisinart Chef's Classic. This set offers pieces in a useful range of size and function, and with the added value of set pricing.』 『Sautéing wild salmon and stirring a perfect risotto take on spiritual dimensions with this classic Cuisinart cookware. Made of professional quality 18/10 stainless steel that won't react with acidic foods, the pots and pans in this set feature solid cast handles, tight-fitting lids with drip-free rims,and a mirror finish that retains its brightness through dishwasher, freezer, broiler, and oven use up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. For superior, even heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in each base.

AeroBed

They are easy to inflate and deflate. My son takes them with them everywhere they go. The only drawback is if you are in the same room with the kids, the beds make noise if the kids toss and turn a lot.』
(Great for when kids visit) 『Bought this aero bed several years ago for a visiting young grandchild who wanted to sleep in her parents' room. Now that there are more grandkids than guest beds, they have to take turns sleeping on it. Everyone wants to sleep on the "blow-up bed" - but they have to obey the 'no jumping' rule. The soft cover is great and everything washes up easily if little ones have an accident. Between visits, it takes very little space on a closet shelf.』
(Great for older kids too ~) 『My son (9) used this air bed for 9 nights during our WDW trip, he's also used it for sleepovers at his Grandparents. Inflates&deflates quick. I'm pleased.』
(great toddler bed) 『This is a great bed. I got it for my 2 almost 3 year old boy. I even checked it in at the airport and it's not charged because it's like a "crib". My son is potty trained but he did have an accident. The top cover lets the "liquid" pass through, and it seems to remain dry on the surface. I put a water proof mattress pad (the sheet kind, like from Walmart) under the cover and that helped with the clean up. My son stayed in the bed - no problems with him rolling out. He loves it. I love it. If you are considering a travel bed - search no more.』
(Real good, but not great) 『I'll concede that my 2-year old is big for his age, but he has managed to roll out of the bed a few times. Plus I have found that the bed deflate a bit overnight. Regardless, it's a good way to introduce a toddler to sleeping in a bed and great for travel once they've outgrown the portable crib (name is escaping me right now.) 』 『A good night's rest for your child means a good night's rest for you. AeroBed for Kids is the portable bed perfectly designed for children ages 3 and up. With our Instant-On AC Pump, AeroBed for Kids inflates in 60 seconds. Channel-construction design holds up to 150 lbs. A large 50" x 25" sleep surface with 4" surround safety cushion prevents kids from rolling off the bed. The thick, washable, fitted mattress pad is easy to clean and provides extra comfort and convenience.』

(Smaller than I thought it would be.) 『Overall pretty accurate. Don't rely on the picture to guess how big it is though. Can't be more than 5 inches long, so if you are using it for anything other than meat temps it may not be enough.
Feels cheap and the dial can be difficult to read. But it does the job at a cheap price.』

(Gets the job done) 『This thermometer reads the temperature very accurate, but is definately not an instant read thermometer. It takes about 1 min but for the price I would say its not too bad.』
(You Better Check Calibration) 『I bought 2 because of the price. When I recieved the thermomter my first task was to immerse both of them in boiling water and then ice water. The neither unit was calibrated. Worse they both couldn't be calibrated because there is no way to adjust the span. So in the end they hit the garbage can. You get what you pay for.』 『Instant read 0 F to 220 F. Shatterproof plastic lens. Exclusive Safe T Set recalibration feature. Convenient pocket case. Durable stainless steel stem. NSF approved.』 『This thermometer instantly ascertains the temperature of foods, whether they're on the buffet line or being cooked. Its 1-inch dial, protected by a shatterproof plastic lens, displays temperatures from 0 to 220 degrees F. The thermometer comes with a pocket case and has a 5-inch stainless-steel stem. Should it seem to be off kilter, the thermometer can be recalibrated by twisting the hexagonal hub beneath the dial with pliers.--Fred Brack』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Romantic Trios with Grace and Joy) 『**** 1/2. Compared to my CD of the solid, direct Beaux Arts Trio, and remembrances of the scholarly but energetic Stern-Istomin-Rose group, the classical superstars of this new album perform the Mendelssohn works with emphasis on grace and joy. The sweet and lyrical Op. 49, comes off smoothly but without inner depth; the more serious, classical Op. 66 offers thought and emotional gravitas. Perlman and Ma were mentored by Stern and both play with lightness and fluidity. There is no roughness or edginess to their sound; thus, their approach is fitting for the early romantic Mendelssohn. Do not expect a wide range of temperments; these compositions are andante and allegro, but the final two movements of the second trio are vigorous and bright. I wonder if this senior trio will go on to other issues of, for example, the Schubert, Schumann, and Dvorak trios. Or perhaps they will venture to contempory trios. I am pleased with this particular recording and recommend these light, popular pieces for those whose interest in chamber work is still developing. 』
(Delicious and Classical) 『This is a very elegant album. It is classical chamber music that doesn't disappoint the deepest part of your heart or brain. Honestly I am not familiar with Ax or Perlman, but Yo Yo Ma is a favorite of mine. I do favor a more contemporary flare, but this music stands on its own. The pieces flow easily from one to another and there are no deep shifts from one piece to another. I love the three instruments together. These three dance together and flirt in a wonderful singsong CD. This cd is full of just beautiful music! This comes highly recommended to the classical fan.』
(Suave, experienced, relaxed musicianship from three old pros) 『This album to commemorate Mendelssohn's bicentennial has shown up a little past 2009, but it's a welcome return to chamber music by three stars in the classical world. Of the major labels, Sony BMG seems to have given up on chamber music almost completely. Thank goodness we have an archive of recordings from the era when Yo-Yo Ma and Isaac Stern, often in the company of Emanuel Ax, produced an outpouring of Brahms CDs that remain the best modern renditions. Perlman has made fewer appearances in chamber music since his early days but is, of course, accomplished in his own right.
Here they compete with the ghost of Stern, whose all but definitive account of the two Mendelssohn Piano Trios with partners Leonard Rose and Eugene Istomin derives from an even earlier era of recordings. As befits their gray hair, these new recordings are seasoned and relaxed. The whirlwind Scherzo in Trio no. 1 won't stir up any dust; the opening Molto allergro e agitato is far from being either very fast or agitated. Is it right to turn the finale, marked "very fast" and "passionate," into something more civilized? The same experienced, suave restraint hovers over Trio no. 2 as well. Comparisons with Istomin-Stern-Rose or the trio led by Julia Fischer, not to mention the ultra energized Martha Argerich and Friends, reveal how this music sounds when played with more vitality. On the other hand, there's no denying that the playing here bespeaks Cadillac musicianship, even if it rarely gets out of first gear』 『To commemorate the Mendelssohn bicentennial in 2009, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Emanuel Ax, and violinist Itzhak Perlman collaborated together for the first time and recorded the Mendelssohn Piano Trios. This is the first chamber recording these three virtuosos have recorded together. Yo-Yo Ma is a world-renowned, multiple Grammy Award-winning cellist and is currently celebrating his 30th anniversary with Sony Masterworks.』

(These guys came from San Francisco?) 『Who would have thought? To me, they sound like a group that should have come from Louisiana or Southern Mississippi because of their deep Delta bluesy swamp rock sound.
This CD could have been improved just a little better. I see that they gave us the whole version of "I've Heard It Through The Grapevine", but I really missed having the full version of "Suzie Q" as I've always known it. I've never heard it cut short like it was here, and there is no excuse for it. It would have fit on this CD, in addition, to having even one more bonus track, like "Born on a Bayou" or "Midnight Special".
Oh well, I guess I'll just take what they give us and collect my own perceived shortcomings and make my own second Chronicles CD. The second Chronicles CD that they released, well, I could laugh. The second half of "Suzie Q?" What a joke! I'll make my own 2 disc "Best of Creedance Clearwater Revival" because I do need "Ramble Tamble", "Keep on Chooglin'", and even, the two other tracks that I just mentioned, plus there are other great tracks. Hell, I could even make a second collection that includes John Fogerty's "Rock and Roll Girls", "Centerfold", and "The Old Man Down the Road" from 1984. It's so easy to make a second CD of CCR to complement this release of Chronicles. So, thanks for the effort anyway.』
(Even better than expected!) 『Got this today-I agree with all the other reviewers that it's great and you should get one for your kids! Brought back a lot of memories and I got to listen to some songs I had forgotten CCR did. Going to listen to it again now.』
(Born On The Bayou?) 『They should have left out tracks #7, 15, 19, and included a major hit, Born On The Bayou, and a couple of other of CCR's big hits that should be here. But apparently the plan was to sell a follow-up album, Chronicle #2, along with it's share of filler tracks. This one is still worthy of 5-stars.』
(given as a gift) 『This isnt my taste in music, but since I got it for someone as a gift I cant say too much about it.』 『No Description Available. Genre:Popular Music Media Format:Compact Disk Rating: Release Date:15-JAN-1990』 『Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential.--Genevieve Williams』

(I live for furs. I worship furs! After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't?) 『It was 1961, and if not exactly a palindrome, it was an unusual year that read the same way upside down. After a solid run of 10 Disney animated features beginning in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and continuing through 1959's Sleeping Beauty, change was in the air. It was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the sixties were upon us, and prophetically, as if foreshadowing the British Invasion, we have One Hundred and One Dalmatians patriarch Pongo relating this chronicle:
------------- Pongo: My story begins in London, not so very long ago. And yet so much has happened since then, that it seems more like an eternity. =======================
The art style was different, and the characters and location were more modern and contemporary. The backgrounds were stylized line illustrations, charming in their own way, but drawings rather than paintings. Compare the opening sequence of Pinocchio to the similar scene of London in 101 Dalmatians. The Afghan owner, a woman artist in a beret, who almost looks like she could be a beatnik, might have drawn 101's urban backgrounds.
Funny thing, though Pongo's owner Roger is a struggling songwriter, there are only two songs in the film, "Cruella De Vil" and the inconsequential "Dalmatian Plantation." Previous Disney efforts were more like Broadway or MGM musicals. Lady and the Tramp, for instance, had the venerable Miss Peggy Lee providing several spectacular songs throughout. Ukulele Ike provided "When You Wish Upon a Star" for 1940's Pinocchio, and "Someday My Prince Will Come" was even covered by Miles Davis and is a firmly established jazz waltz standard.
Though 101 Dalmatians had some big shoes to fill--or chew on, after more than 20 years, you can't exactly blame Disney for trying something new. Taken on its own terms, it is a perfectly delightful film with plenty of the Disney patented heart warming moments, colorful characters, and memorable villains. I was wondering why Cruella spelled her name De Vil instead of like Coupe De Ville, but then I realized that if you lose the space, you get devil, and Cruella is certainly a devil of a villainess. Martha, Paris, Imelda, Leona... What do they know?
--------------- Anita: Cruella, isn't that a new fur coat? Cruella De Vil: My only true love, darling. I live for furs. I worship furs! After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't? ======================
Then there are Cruella's henchmen, Horace and Jasper, who aren't above cloaking their misdeeds with a counterfeit governmental stamp of approval:
--------------------------------- Jasper: There's a new act just been passed in parliament. Comes under the heading of "Defense of the Realm Act", it's article 4, section 29, it's very important, you see, it's the law, and it's for your safety, ma'am. Nanny: Well, I don't care what Parliament realm, or whatever it is, says. You're not coming in here, not with the mister and missus gone. =======================================
Sometimes it almost seems like Disney will take the modern approach too far:
------------------ Pongo: Come on, kids! Roll in the soot! Penny: You mean you want us to get dirty? Pepper: Did you hear that, Freckles? Dad wants us to get dirty. Cadpig: Mother, should we? Perdita: [sighs] Do as your father says. Pepper: This'll be fun! Cadpig: I always wanted to get good and dirty! ===============================
Can a 'wardrobe malfunction' be far behind? Fortunately, the soot washes right off, and the Dalmatians, or Disney, haven't changed their spots at all.
One unintended consequence of this movie was that it made the Dalmatian breed look so cute that every time it is re-released kids inevitably talk their parents into getting one of the little rascals only to find that in real life Dalmatians are high energy/high maintenance dogs that most families are ill prepared to deal with.
For the filmmakers, the challenge of 101 Dalmatians is only that it was difficult to give them all unique personalities. The runt of the litter, named Lucky, stands out, as do Patch, with his eye patch markings, and Rolly, with his insatiable appetite; but who can really tell Penny, Pepper, and Cadpig apart? Even the proud parents Pongo and Perdita have trouble.
Bottom line is The Hundred and One Dalmatians is something a little different from previous Disney films, but is nonetheless a very entertaining film that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Even my three dogs, Dusty, Delilah, and Miles enjoyed it. Three paws up; and a bark, two yips, plus one very enthusiastic group howl.

------------------ Rolly: I'm hungry, Mother. I'm hungry. Perdita: Now Rolly, you've just had your dinner. Rolly: But I am, just the same. I'm so hungry I could eat a... a whole elephant. ==========================』
(Spots before your eyes) 『Based upon Dodie Smith's excellent novel The Hundred And One Dalmatians (see my review), this is the story of Pongo and Perdita, a married couple of Dalmatians in London, and their quest for their 15 kidnapped puppies. Though it misses quite a few of the subtleties of the book (which is why I only rate it at four stars), it's still a delightful animal film--one, indeed, of Disney's best--with a large cast of very individual creatures (and humans, such as "my old pet," songwriter Roger Radclyffe, his bride Anita, Nanny (who's "almost canine at times"), and, of course, the over-the-top Cruella deVille and her henchmen Jasper and Horace Baddun). More overtly humorous than Smith's work (doubtless as a bow to the less subtle American sense of what's funny), it's still full of laughs, action, and suspense, and is a film I rewatch regularly. Highly recommended.』
(Great entertainment) 『Bought this to view for our "1st Annual Cousin Weekend". We had 5 of our grandkids at the same time and wanted to have a family movie that we could all enjoy, and we did!』
(this grandmother is pleased!) 『The dvd was purchased for my granddaughter and she just loves it! the action, color, and animation is pure innocent entertainment value for little eyes and ears.101 Dalmatians (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)』 『Back in 1961, Walt Disney got a little hip with101 Dalmatians, making use of that flat Saturday morning cartoon style that had become so popular. The result is a kitschy change in animation and story. Pongo and Perdita are two lonely dalmatians who meet cute in a London park and arrange for their pet humans to marry so they can live together and raise a family. They become proud parents of 15 pups, who are stolen by the dastardly Cruella De Vil, who wants to make a fur coat out of them. Cruella has become the most popular villain in all of Disney; she's flamboyantly nasty and lots of fun. But it's the dalmatians who shine in this endearing classic, particularly those precocious pups. Telling the story from the dogs' point of view is a clever conceit, a fundamental flaw of the live-action remake.--Bill Desowitz』 『Full of boundless adventure and boisterous fun, Disney's 17th animated masterpiece is the original film classic starring 101 of the world's most lovable, huggable Dalmatians and their hilariously evil captor, Cruella De Vil! A charming London neighborhood is home to Roger and Anita, whose beloved Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, have become the proud parents of 15 puppies. But when Cruella and her bumbling henchmen, Horace and Jasper, unexpectedly appear, the pups soon disappear -- along with every other Dalmatian puppy in town! Now Pongo and Perdita must rally their animal friends and use the power of the "Twilight Bark" to find Cruella's secret hideaway and free the puppies. Featuring the unforgettable toe-tapping song "Cruella De Vil," 101 DALMATIANS is one of the most cherished and sought-after Disney classics of all time -- and among the last films to bear the personal touch of Walt Disney.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great for Kids, Fun Viewing) 『This is the first in the "Toy Story" franchise (1995) and the first film animated solely by computer. It establishes a family of toys owned by a boy named Andy who plays rough with his toys and writes his name on his favorites. This is really an action flick with toys rather than people being the superheroes engaged in intrepid rescues. The toys fear birthdays and Christmases because Andy may get a new toy as a present; this new one may win him over, and some of his older ones may end up in a dumpster or out at a yard sale. The leader of the toy family is Woody (Tom Hanks), a cowboy puppet who plays some electric sounds if a wire in his back is pulled. Of course these toys can talk. The sequel to this movie was very good in filling in the back stories of the toys (Woody was a spin-off toy from a popular old TV series), and it individualized them. Bo Beep with her little crook in this one seems to have a crush on Woody. On his birthday Andy gets a new toy, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), whom he prefers to Woody at first. Buzz thinks he's a real spaceman which makes him take crazy risks. Buzz and Woody have to save toys from the nasty, sadistic next-door kid named Sid and his vicious dog. Sid turns toys into mindless mutants. Sid really is an evil piece of work. People are the bad guys. Andy, a typical kid, is fickle about his toys. People are also dangerous for the toys because they are unpredictable. This is a real kid's movie without any adult-aimed gags. When viewed with the second in the series, it provides some fun viewing because there's so much growth in "Toy Story 2." 』
(Toy Story (10th Anniversary Edition)) 『A little boy named Andy loves to be in his room, playing with his toys, especially his doll named "Woody". But, what do the toys do when Andy is not with them, they come to life. Woody believes that he has life (as a toy) good. However, he must worry about Andy's family moving, and what Woody does not know is about Andy's birthday party. Woody does not realize that Andy's mother gave him an action figure known as Buzz Lightyear, who does not believe that he is a toy, and quickly becomes Andy's new favorite toy. Woody, who is now consumed with jealousy, tries to get rid of Buzz. Then, both Woody and Buzz are now lost. They must find a way to get back to Andy before he moves without them, but they will have to pass through a ruthless toy killer, Sid Phillips. I loved the story and liked the animations a lot. This movie is pretty much perfect. It's adventurous, exciting, entertaining, and good for the whole family.』
(Disappointed) 『I ordered this movie, Toy Story, for a Christmas present on December 3, 2009 and supposedly it was shipped on December 6, 2009 and was to arrive to my house no later than December 28, 2009. Unfortunately, it never arrived and I contacted the seller to get a tracking number so that it can be tracked through the postal service&I never received that number either. The seller offered to refund me my money or send a replacement on December 31, 2009 and I chose the refund due to it being well passed Christmas. It is now January 26, 2010 and still no refund or movie. I am very disappointed in this purchase because there was no hesitation to take my money; however, it seems that my order has been forgotten.』

Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys on the cover ofToy Storylooks intriguing, reawakening the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter's shorts (namelyKnickknackandTin Toy, which can be found on the Pixar videoTiny Toy Stories) illustrate not only a technical brilliance but also a great sense of humor--one in which the pun is always intended. Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.
Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favorite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful,Toy Storyis much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar for "the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In other words, the movie is great.--Doug Thomas

The first full-length feature film animated entirely on computers, it captured audiences' hearts with a wonderful story that takes place inside an amazing three-dimensional world. As six-year-old Andy's favorite toy, Woody (Tom Hanks), a take-charge, pull-string cowboy, was confident in his role as room leader. But after Andy's birthday party, newcomer Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), a flashy space ranger sporting laser action and pop-out wings, crash-lands into Woody's world. Buzz instantly wins the admiration of Andy's other toys, igniting a rivalry that lands the duo inside the home of Sid -- the toy-torturing boy next door. To escape Sid's evil plans, Woody and Buzz must work together and realize they've got the perfect friend ... in each other! Voiced by a powerhouse comedic cast, and featuring Randy Newman's Academy Award(R)-nominated music, TOY STORY etched its name into motion picture history and earned director John Lasseter a Special Achievement Academy Award.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Another strong Disney release from the 90s.) 『he only thing that I don't like about these Disney DVDs is that they're all SO expensive!!!
Some new DVDs are 15 bucks, but the Disney ones are always 19 bucks +. I don't understand it. Can't a kid buy a Disney DVD for 15 or so bucks anymore? Guess that answer is NO.
Disney's "The Little Mermaid" mostly takes place in the sea.
Ariel, who is 16, is very stubborn and headstrong, and disobeys her Father, King Triton at every opportunity.
She's lovely though; smart, curious and representing for the pretty, red-heads. :P
She meets the dashingly handsome prince, Eric, and falls head over heels. She even makes a "fatal" deal to give up her sweet, uplifting and downright beautiful voice to the treacherous Witch of the Seas, Ursula. But that in turn, gives her a chance to love a human...But was it worth it?
Once she gets legs the story seems to lag (just a bit) but one of the highlights was how excited she was to see Eric's world she's been dreaming of for a while. She gets to command a horse and carriage, gets the wear a dress for the first time and embarrasses herself many times. For some, this part will be a true highlight.
The movie is more or less enjoyable from start to finish.
I'd recommend any kid to watch this unless they have a short attention span.
Not as good as The Lion King or Shrek, but better than Pocahontas, Toy Story and Ice Age.
4.5 stars.
End note: Part Of Your World is a breath-taking experience and alone boosts the score considerably. Very moving and emotional.』
(Great) 『The top evidence of a great DISNEY movie? A preeteen / teen saying it rocks. Which I am willing to give. When I was 3, I LOVED this movie. I mean, that's all I would watch. And then, just as a "nbody's going to see me anyay, why not?" mood, I saw it again. And fell in love with it. Again. Jodi Benson - spectacular. She deserved, like, 5 Academy Awards. The rest of the quirky cast? Why are there not more than one "Best supporting actor/actress"? The animation spetacular. The storyline - ths is why I love it. The storey line isnt about some pathetic female waiting for a prince or a faerie godmother, no-siree. The only thing old and magical is the witch, thank heaven. Sure, ther's a boy, but - he has a nice dog. I love dogs, so I kinda thought he was OK at the dog part. MAybe I cracked a few "Omigosh, Ariel's like Lydia from Pride And Prejiduce" jokes, but still. I lov this movie. When will more like it come out?』
(one of the best animated Disney features of all time.....) 『You know I couldn't write reviews of almost every other film I have seen, and leave this one out! I remember the day I saw this film for the first time, when I was about seven years old. It was one of those films you never forget. I had the great fortune to see "The Little Mermaid" in the theatre (which is how it SHOULD be seen). Not only is the animation spectacular and absolutely stunning (this was before the introduction to computer animation, that is so widely used today), but the actors providing the voices for the characters are wonderful.
Ariel (voice of Jodi Benson) is a beautiful, headstrong 16 year old mermaid who wants nothing more but to live with the land dwellers and be a "Part of their world" (to paraphrase on of the most well known songs from the film). Her father, King Triton (Kenneth Mars), knows all too well the stark reality of the fish eating, two legged creatures and doesn't want his daughter to experience the pain of being an outsider, nor does he want her to put herself in harm's way. Nothing will stop Ariel when she experiences love at first sight, after rescuing a very handsome young prince from near-fatal drowning.
I won't get long winded on you, as far as plot details are concerned. All I am going to say is this......this is a MUST SEE. "The Little Mermaid" can be enjoyed by people of all generations, and will leave you with memorable tunes, a song in your heart and a smile on your lips. *two BIG thumbs up*』
(Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 『THE LITTLE MERMAID is the first movie I ever remember owning. Since then,I've watched a good dozen times, and it still gets me every time. I still howl with laughter at the antics of Sebastian and Flounder(he's so cute!), sigh romantically as Ariel sings to Eric on the beach(ARIEL RULES!!!!), boo(then cheer later)at King Triton, and shudder as Ursula makes her plans for "triton's undoing"! The wonderful music and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken make me dance around singing. It belongs with all the classic Disney films. All in all, a wonderful film. 』
(One of the Best Films Disney's had Ever Produced!) 『If you are a fanatic of Disney's films, you have to have this masterpiece as part of your collection definitively. The Little Mermaid is simply enchanting. The songs, the characters and Ariel's beauty are going to captive you. If you don't want to miss the BEST of Disney's animated movies, you must have The Gracious Little Mermaid.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Avoid this and don't waste your money!) 『It was an interesting idea but pull construction and not sufficient testing.
The smaller one broke after a week. I pulled the handle out and was not able to re-insert it back. Apparently it got separately easily (and unconsciously) while I was pulling the handle out to change bit. I suspect the big one will behave similarly at some point. This is all molded plastic, I tried for an hour and couldn't reinsert the handle back together, it also distracted me from my intended task. The handle slides out easily and does not give a feel of a good strong grip.
』
(A great screwdriver set for the office) 『I admit I'm a computer-gaming geek. I'm always searching for a screwdriver in the office so I can quickly crack open the case and fiddle around with something in my PC. This set is handy, comfortable and easy to use and I don't need to run downstairs to grab something out of the toolbox.
Two small issues:
1) The labels peeled off after about a week. 2) The smaller screwdriver uses a non-standard bit size. I'm not sure where I'd go for replacement bits if I ever lose one or wear one out.
』
(Great combination-driver set) 『I absolutely love these. I don't do any heavy-duty work, I just needed some screwdrivers for around the house. I've had several sets before, but I tend to lose the most-needed sizes. They take up space and I end up forgetting to put them back in the toolbox and eventually they get lost somewhere. Me being absentminded doesn't help either (I've once found my keys inside the refrigerator after searching for a couple of hours).
Regular drivers either take up a lot of space, or have small bits that get lost very quickly. This one solves both problems.
Pros: - Bits stored inside the driver itself, no chance of them getting lost - Takes up less space than conventional single driver-multiple bit design, or the individual separate screwdriver design. - The clicks sound cool and my toddler likes to hear it and see me click around. I like the turning and clicking action as well.
Cons: - The labels came off immediately, not very well put on. This doesn't speak too highly about the build quality. - The bits can come off if you pull, sometimes too easily. - The bits aren't fit all that well. It's adequate for normal purposes but if you apply more force, I can see them slant sideways (the handle's axis and the bit's axis are not the same, they're at an angle.
Overall I love this because I always can find it at its place and there are no small bits or individual drivers that can get lost. 』
(Just an great idea) 『The small screwdriver is very handy for the junk drawer and the large is great for the workshop! It has most of the bits you would need for daily tasks. I have not had any problems with it. Good product!』
(Cheap bits diminish the value) 『The autoloader feature works great on both screwdrivers. As long as I properly align the selected bit, nothing gets stuck. The magnets are pretty strong on mine, so I don't see any bits flying out. However, the bits themselves are rather cheap. Don't expect these to last long on the precision screwdriver.』

They stay in the ear canal whereas the others slip out and provide no noise reduction. These are great for the shop, studio, concert or gun range (with muffs). Keep them in your pocket on cold days and they warm and go in easier. Forget them in your pocket? No problem. They wash clean and are fine to reuse. Follow the KISS rule and stick with these.』
(These are the best.) 『Great. My employer, a certain City Municipality doesn't provide these, so I buy my own.』
(Blocks Out LOUD SNORING yet, allows firm voice sounds in) 『These were PERFECT for my needs. I have to sleep in the same room with a VERY LOUD, yet sporadic snorer. The volume of the snoring changes from moment to moment. The noise is impossible to become accustomed to and sleep through due to the stops and starts in addition to volume changes.
I wanted something to block out the snoring, but at the same time I needed to hear this snorer if he spoke or got up and moved about, so I was worried about using ear plugs. These were PERFECT for my needs--they block out 99% of the snore sounds, but so far, over several weeks use, I've been able to hear the snorer if he speaks to me (or talks in his sleep) or gets out of bed and moves around the room. 』
(Perfect) 『These disposable ear plugs are perfect for my personal applications: riding a large loud mower, running chain saws, edgers, pressure cleaners and a bunch of other ear-wasting equipment, plus the occasional firearm "tune-up". The little "pillow" package that holds a pair of plugs is perfect: it allows you to just grab a few and drop them in your pocket, keeping them clean and separate until you're ready to use them.

The extra features are a great addition too. What I like about what most companies are doing is including the regular dvd with the blu ray...this way if your blu ray is a ps3 it is not being used all the time.』
(Sharp picture.) 『Haven't seen this since I was a kid. Now with the blu-ray I can take it in in a whole new light. There are nuances that I didn't recognize before. The resolution allows one to see the widescreen in the best detail you can for the animation. I highly recommend it.』
(Wish it came with a Digital Copy... :() 『This movie is a disney classic and one of my favorites. I love the villainous Maleficent. The sound quality is stellar and the picture quality is amazing.
If you own the Special Edition version of this that was released a few years back, it's not quite amazing enough to upgrade to this. However, if you do not own digital non VHS verison of this movie, this is the copy you should purchase!
The one downside is that I wish it came with a digital copy like all the Disney-PIXAR blu-rays seem to be doing lately.』
(A real tear jerker, everybody should have a copy.) 『I first watched Sleeping Beauty years ago in Day Care. And of course, I must have watched it time and time again with my sister and my cousins. This Disney movie is based on the classic Brothers Grimm tale, about a princess named Aurora, who under the spell of a wicked witch will "prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die." Fortunately, one of her fairy godmothers revoked the spell, by saying that yes she would prick her finger, but rather than die, she would sleep for one-hundred years without aging one second. And that she would awake to love's first kiss. Like Aurora, I have always dreamed of finding true love, and living Happily Ever After. This is such a wonderful movie. The scene when Flora, Fauna and Merryweather put the kingdom to sleep before Aurora wakes up, makes me cry every time I watch it. Make sure to add this first-rate film to your collection, before it goes in the Disney Vault!』
(Tons of extras) 『I am a big fan of extra features... and this has it. I loved the feature of having some art fill the black on the screen while it was playing. The Blu-ray also has the option of leaving messages to loved ones or communicating while watching the movie with a family member who is also watching it. I haven't used this feature but I can only assume it would be exciting. I love the extra features this has. The whole story behind how they built the Sleeping Beauty attraction in Disneyland Resort was Awesome!
You can't beat having two of a good thing. I love this movie and I know not everyone has Blu-ray, yet, so having a DVD copy helps. I can lend this movie out to friends while still having my Blu-ray copy on me.
I thought it was an amazing buy for me. If your even a little fan, you'll enjoy it.』 『Disney's 1959 animated effort was the studio's most ambitious to date, a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky. In the 14th century, the malevolent Maleficent (not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disney'sSnow White and the Seven Dwarfstaunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love. Things almost but not quite turn out that way, thanks to the assistance of some bubbly, bumbling fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It's not really all that much about the title character--how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be, anyway? Instead, those fairies carry the day, as well as, of course, good Prince Phillip, whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since. See it in its original glory here. And Malificent's castle, filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways, manages a certain creepy grandeur. --David Kronke
On the DVD Sleeping Beautywas the last and most lavish of Walt Disney's animated fairy tales. He told the artists not to hurry and to give him "a moving illustration": The film required almost four and one-half years and one million finished drawings. Instead of the 19th century storybook illustrations that had influenced the look ofSnow WhiteandPinocchio, the artists adapted the flattened perspective and jewel-like colors of 15th century French illuminated manuscripts. The results remain unmatched for sheer visual opulence. However,Sleeping Beautysuffers from a weak story: the vision of an ageless princess slumbering in a vine-shrouded tower was replaced with elements ofSnow Whiteand a boy-meets-girl musical. The evil Maleficent and the three Good Fairies (Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather) dominate the film, rather than Princess Aurora and Prince Philip.Sleeping Beautywas originally released in 70mm, and the Blu-ray edition restores the film to its original splendor. (Many earlier releases trimmed the wide-screen images and/or muted the glowing palatte.) The Bonus DVD looks good on a flat screen monitor, but it pales in comparison to the richness of the Blu-ray. In addition to the commentaries and a making-of documentary, the set includes myriad extras that vary widely in quality. Nostalgia buffs will enjoy the recreation of the old Sleeping Beauty's Castle attraction in Disneyland, and the TV program "Four Artists Paint One Tree" provides a welcome showcase for key talents from the film. But the CG animation of the dragon and the voice imitations of the Good Fairies fail to capture the magic of the originals in the "Dragon Encounter"; the "Maleficent's Challenge Game"--a hi-tech Twenty Questions--sounds only vaguely like the redoubtable sorceress.

In the original story, Princess Aurora sleeps for 100 years before being awakened by a prince's kiss. In the Disney version, Prince Philip comes to her rescue much sooner. George Brun's orchestral score, which was nominated for an Academy Award, expertly blended famous themes from Tchaikovsky's ballet. With a budget that exceeded $6 million in 1959, this was Walt Disney's most lavish and expensive animated feature to date. Determined to make the characters as realistic as possible, Disney had a live action film shot with actors posing as Sleeping Beauty, the Prince, and Maleficent, for the animators to use.

When you watch Snow White's intricate, graceful movements of fingers, arms, and head all in one shot, it is not the technical brilliance of Disney's artists that leaps out at you, but the very spirit of her engaging, girl-woman character. When the wicked queen's poisoned apple turns from killer green to rose red, the effect of knowing something so beautiful can be so terrible is absolutely elemental, so pure it forces one to surrender to the horror of it. Based on the Grimm fairy tale, Snow White is probably the best family film ever to deal, in mythic terms, with the psychological foundation for growing up. It's a crowning achievement and should not be missed.--Tom Keogh

(I live for furs. I worship furs! After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't?) 『It was 1961, and if not exactly a palindrome, it was an unusual year that read the same way upside down. After a solid run of 10 Disney animated features beginning in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and continuing through 1959's Sleeping Beauty, change was in the air. It was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the sixties were upon us, and prophetically, as if foreshadowing the British Invasion, we have One Hundred and One Dalmatians patriarch Pongo relating this chronicle:
------------- Pongo: My story begins in London, not so very long ago. And yet so much has happened since then, that it seems more like an eternity. =======================
The art style was different, and the characters and location were more modern and contemporary. The backgrounds were stylized line illustrations, charming in their own way, but drawings rather than paintings. Compare the opening sequence of Pinocchio to the similar scene of London in 101 Dalmatians. The Afghan owner, a woman artist in a beret, who almost looks like she could be a beatnik, might have drawn 101's urban backgrounds.
Funny thing, though Pongo's owner Roger is a struggling songwriter, there are only two songs in the film, "Cruella De Vil" and the inconsequential "Dalmatian Plantation." Previous Disney efforts were more like Broadway or MGM musicals. Lady and the Tramp, for instance, had the venerable Miss Peggy Lee providing several spectacular songs throughout. Ukulele Ike provided "When You Wish Upon a Star" for 1940's Pinocchio, and "Someday My Prince Will Come" was even covered by Miles Davis and is a firmly established jazz waltz standard.
Though 101 Dalmatians had some big shoes to fill--or chew on, after more than 20 years, you can't exactly blame Disney for trying something new. Taken on its own terms, it is a perfectly delightful film with plenty of the Disney patented heart warming moments, colorful characters, and memorable villains. I was wondering why Cruella spelled her name De Vil instead of like Coupe De Ville, but then I realized that if you lose the space, you get devil, and Cruella is certainly a devil of a villainess. Martha, Paris, Imelda, Leona... What do they know?
--------------- Anita: Cruella, isn't that a new fur coat? Cruella De Vil: My only true love, darling. I live for furs. I worship furs! After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't? ======================
Then there are Cruella's henchmen, Horace and Jasper, who aren't above cloaking their misdeeds with a counterfeit governmental stamp of approval:
--------------------------------- Jasper: There's a new act just been passed in parliament. Comes under the heading of "Defense of the Realm Act", it's article 4, section 29, it's very important, you see, it's the law, and it's for your safety, ma'am. Nanny: Well, I don't care what Parliament realm, or whatever it is, says. You're not coming in here, not with the mister and missus gone. =======================================
Sometimes it almost seems like Disney will take the modern approach too far:
------------------ Pongo: Come on, kids! Roll in the soot! Penny: You mean you want us to get dirty? Pepper: Did you hear that, Freckles? Dad wants us to get dirty. Cadpig: Mother, should we? Perdita: [sighs] Do as your father says. Pepper: This'll be fun! Cadpig: I always wanted to get good and dirty! ===============================
Can a 'wardrobe malfunction' be far behind? Fortunately, the soot washes right off, and the Dalmatians, or Disney, haven't changed their spots at all.
One unintended consequence of this movie was that it made the Dalmatian breed look so cute that every time it is re-released kids inevitably talk their parents into getting one of the little rascals only to find that in real life Dalmatians are high energy/high maintenance dogs that most families are ill prepared to deal with.
For the filmmakers, the challenge of 101 Dalmatians is only that it was difficult to give them all unique personalities. The runt of the litter, named Lucky, stands out, as do Patch, with his eye patch markings, and Rolly, with his insatiable appetite; but who can really tell Penny, Pepper, and Cadpig apart? Even the proud parents Pongo and Perdita have trouble.
Bottom line is The Hundred and One Dalmatians is something a little different from previous Disney films, but is nonetheless a very entertaining film that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Even my three dogs, Dusty, Delilah, and Miles enjoyed it. Three paws up; and a bark, two yips, plus one very enthusiastic group howl.

(Spots before your eyes) 『Based upon Dodie Smith's excellent novel The Hundred And One Dalmatians (see my review), this is the story of Pongo and Perdita, a married couple of Dalmatians in London, and their quest for their 15 kidnapped puppies. Though it misses quite a few of the subtleties of the book (which is why I only rate it at four stars), it's still a delightful animal film--one, indeed, of Disney's best--with a large cast of very individual creatures (and humans, such as "my old pet," songwriter Roger Radclyffe, his bride Anita, Nanny (who's "almost canine at times"), and, of course, the over-the-top Cruella deVille and her henchmen Jasper and Horace Baddun). More overtly humorous than Smith's work (doubtless as a bow to the less subtle American sense of what's funny), it's still full of laughs, action, and suspense, and is a film I rewatch regularly. Highly recommended.』
(Great entertainment) 『Bought this to view for our "1st Annual Cousin Weekend". We had 5 of our grandkids at the same time and wanted to have a family movie that we could all enjoy, and we did!』
(this grandmother is pleased!) 『The dvd was purchased for my granddaughter and she just loves it! the action, color, and animation is pure innocent entertainment value for little eyes and ears.101 Dalmatians (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)』 『No Description Available. Genre:Feature Film Family Rating:G Release Date:4-MAR-2008 Media Type:DVD』 『Back in 1961, Walt Disney got a little hip with101 Dalmatians, making use of that flat Saturday morning cartoon style that had become so popular. The result is a kitschy change in animation and story. Pongo and Perdita are two lonely dalmatians who meet cute in a London park and arrange for their pet humans to marry so they can live together and raise a family. They become proud parents of 15 pups, who are stolen by the dastardly Cruella De Vil, who wants to make a fur coat out of them. Cruella has become the most popular villain in all of Disney; she's flamboyantly nasty and lots of fun. But it's the dalmatians who shine in this endearing classic, particularly those precocious pups. Telling the story from the dogs' point of view is a clever conceit, a fundamental flaw of the live-action remake. --Bill Desowitz
On the DVD This two-disc platinum edition features great sound and incredibly bright, intense colors thanks to the restoration process, but its most impressive selling point is the huge assortment of bonus features designed to delight children, families, and the most serious Disney fans. Kids will have fun caring for their very own puppy in the virtual Dalmatian game for television or on DVD ROM and can find out just what kind of puppy they're most like and which human Disney character they're most compatible with in the puppy profiler game. The fun with language game is geared toward the very young preschooler and teaches numbers and the names of common household items. A modern Selena Gomez music video of "Cruella DeVil" will appeal to tweens and teens. The whole family will enjoy the "101 Pop Up Facts For Families" option which prints various movie facts like the name and author of the original book and how specific scenes differ between the book and the movie right on the screen during the movie and Disney fans will love the similar "101 Pop Up Facts For Fans" feature which supplies a wide variety of film trivia about featured voice talents, famous Disney animators that worked on the film, technical devices employed like multi-pane shots and the Xerox process, and which artists directed specific scenes in the movie. Eleven separate Backstage Disney featurettes interview a host of animators, writers, historians, producers, and story men regarding the film's contemporary feel and the groundbreaking technical processes like the then-new Xerox process utilized in making101 Dalmatians. Also highlighted is Bill Pete's amazing storytelling contribution to the film, the technical and mechanical innovations of Ub Iwerks, the songwriting process, and the animation prowess of famous Disney animators like Woolie Reitherman, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Marc Davis, Ken Anderson, and Walt Peregoy. The 12-minute dramatization of the longstanding correspondence between author Dodie Smith and Walt Disney is intriguing and the trailers and radio and television spots provide fun historical reference for the film and its various releases. Finally, the "Music and More" feature presents a variety of deleted and abandoned songs as well as many alternate versions and takes of songs used in the final film.--Tami Horiuchi

(Just what I needed!) 『I recently purchased a new Electrolux and needed these bags. After another unsuccessful trip to the store where I purchased the wrong ones, Amazon had the right ones and with Amazon Prime I had it really fast. I only wish I could get the extra large bags but these work fine.』
(still waiting.....) 『I ordered bags from this company almost a month ago. First they shipped the wrong ones. I had to email them a few times to get a response. they finally shipped the replacement order a week ago ..still waiting for those bags』
(Does the job) 『I had a stack of the hypo-allergenic bags before purchasing these bags, and I wasn't sure if there would be a noticeable difference. I choose these because they were simpler and I wanted a bag that seemed to have a smaller carbon footprint. These do a great job.』
(Just in time!!) 『Very pleased with the product and the quick delivery. Cannot find these in stores around here.』 『The s bag Classic fits any electrolux Oxy3 or Harmony canister vacuum. It sets the standard for clean with high filtration level and smart, convenient design that provides less hassle for a happier, cleaner house. 5 bags per package. Fits Oxygen3 canister』

I got this for nursing school, and cant comment on how sensitive it works because I have nothing to compare it to. It works fine so far. I will update the review if something goes bad. It is a bit sticky, which i actually like so it doesn't slide around on the neck.』
(Excellent, like it) 『Got in perfect condition for great price. Works very well got this as gift for my friend.』
(Great stethoscope) 『Got mine just in time, the same day previewed for me to receive it. Great stethoscope, worth the money I spent, love it, thanks amazon!』
(great stethoscope) 『I agree with what all the 5 star postings have said so far, the only recommendation would be "put your name on it". Mine was stolen.』
(as expected) 『It works fine, this is my 2nd like it. The last one lasted 5 years before the rubber cracked. I was kind of hard on it, cleaning it with alcohol, leaving it in the car summer and winter.

(jenben536) 『This is a great product! I have sensitive skin and this is the best shaving cream I have ever used! It is also great as a hair conditioner. I have thick, curly hair and I love this product as a conditioner. Sometimes I even use it as a leave in conditioner if my hair is really dry.』
(Coochy review) 『Works well where it should and as a man I use it to shave my face. Easy to use because I have a beard. Good turn around time from the time I ordered it to delivery』
(Awesome) 『Love this shaving cream... leaves legs super soft and smooth. My husband uses it to shave his face... he prefers this product over all of the usual drug store brands.』
(Works Great) 『Okay, so the name is ridiculous... but I ordered this to help alleviate razor burn after shaving my chest. I have tried gels, creams and foams and always ended up with razor burn. I also tried a body shave cream from WET which did a good job but not as good as Coochy Cream. It kinda smells 'old lady' ish when applied but the scent doesn't linger after you shave, luckily. I have recommended this to my boyfriend who has had a terrible time with razor burn and it worked wonders for him. Everyone's skin is different; this product worked for me.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (HP IPAQ111: One terrific (NON-CONVERGED) Classic pda handheld) 『Having owned top of the line pdas from Dell, Palm, HP and others over the years, needeless to say I am thrilled with this no frills, basic-style NO-PHONE pda version from HP (The HP IPAQ111). The included CD from HP did not provide the proper Windows Activesync code (for use with MS Windows XP and previous OS versions) or the Windows Mobile Device Center ActivSync code (for MS Vista and Windows 7) that is used for sychronizing the IPAQ handheld with your PC. Thus, I simply went to HP on-line and did a search and I was immediately brought to a Microsoft site where I down-loaded free software for MS Windows Professional (the 32 bit version) for my laptop which by the way worked immediately and flawlessly. MY IPAQ immediately downloaded 2 weeks of MS Outlook email and all othert relevant items (MS word documents, etc.) as well. It could have downloaded much more email in fact, but my internal email setting was nominally set at the factory to be 2 weeks. I felt as if I had my old Palm TX back in terms of the simplicity and ease of it all! But this handheld computer is>twice as fast (624 MHz) as the TX and really works great and includes the latest MS Windows Mobile Operating System (BIOS [Basic input-Output System] version 1.01.06 from April 5, 2008). The amount of available RAM (~50Mb) and ROM (~200Mb) is also excellent for such a small and very pocketable device too. The QVGA (Quarter Video Graphics Array: 320 X 240 pixels) 3.5 inch LCD screen is very sharp with nicely controllable backlighting and also plenty large for my purposes and the included 1250 mAh battery life (1250 milli-Ampere hour means that 1.25 Amperes of current will be provided for 1 hour) seems quite adequate as well. I sincerely hope that as more people realize the great utility of these simple machines compared to the present trend of totally converged (phone-included) devices (and that cost way way too much to operate on a monthy basis!) that the marketplace for these types of units will resume its previous very important status in our EMMS (ever more mobile society!)
On the negative side, it seems for $ 272 (the current Amazon price) HP should also have provided a cradle as they used to do for all of my previous HP pdas. The provided black leather slip case is a nice touch (which is open at the top in order to be able to insert the device, but there is no strap provided to keep it protected from inadvertently falling out), but at this selling price I also wanted something that would protect my investment in this new device all the way around. Fortunately Pocketsolutions and IPAQCases still have plenty of different types of cases and many other great accessories as do a few other vendors. The screen sensitivity is, as other have noticed, a little bit less than I have been previously used to, as it does take a slightly stronger impact by the stylus in order to register, but nothing that is any way insurmountable! Finally, in addition, in my humble opinion , the chosen location of the on-off switch is simply ridiculous, but I can certainly get used to it. It is located on the right hand side (when facing the screen), right near the top of the unit, exactly where I reach to take the device out of the provided slip case. I somehow always manage to turn the unit on accidentally after either removing it or also more importantly when reinserting the unit into the case!
I was really concerned when I purchased this unit that I might need the larger HP IPAQ211 unit which is bigger and heavier overall and has a larger screen and more internal memory and a CF (compact flash) as well as a SD/SDIO (secure digital) card slot for adding additional memory, but I now feel really satisfied that this IPAQ111 will fulfill my mobile personal computing needs quite adequately. For the money that I saved in purchasing the IPAQ111 instead, I was able to purchase two very different and fully protected carrying cases, a desktop charging cradle as well as screen protectors (at least one of which should have been provided by HP in the first place!) 』
(HP iPAQ) 『I bought this item as a Christmas gift for my husband. He seems pretty happy with it. Learning new ways to use it. The only problem I usually hear he has is with connecting to the wireless sometimes. Don't know what causes it though.』
(Great little PDA!) 『I've used a number of different PDA's over the years. This one is one of the best I've had. The plating on the back has a soft rubber-type coating which makes it easier to hold and it doesn't slide around when put on smooth surfaces.』
(It runs windows based software.) 『It's hp and it runs windows....I was not expecting much and that what it was.』
(Love my new iPAQ 111) 『I have been impressed with the iPAQ 111. I gave up my high monthly expense of having a PDA in a phone and purchased the iPAQ 111. I did not need a camera nor other applications on my cell phone, but missed the organizing opportunity. I am NOT disappointed with the iPAQ 111. Pros: My CD worked fine. I find it easy to learn, even without the CD and have become addicted to "Bubbles". While waiting in the doctor's office I began playing this game and now has become challenging. I used the sync with Outlook and what a breeze. I am extremely pleased and the iPAQ does what I wanted in an organizer. Love the Excel mobile and great for expenses. (I teach Excel this can do more than I expected) This device is not difficult to learn. Set up was very easy. Charging is quick. I like the interface. I had compared it to others. The iPAQ 111 is not too large, nor too small to handle, easy to read with a variety of fonts/features to customize.
Cons: As an instructor for MS Office I tend to want to use the same file management procedures, and having a little bit of difficulty with organizing my "stuff" the way I want it, using the MS mindset, folders and sub folders. But sure I can figure it out and have pretty much figured it all out.I do wish more explanation from HP was available. After all it is an 'organizer'. Could use more battery life, but is better than the majority of other devices that I researched and compared. 』 『Designed to help keep your action-packed life in balance, iPAQ 110 Classic Handheld makes an excellent - and affordable - companion to your cell phone.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Magic Bag) 『The bag has lots of inside and outside pockets, including a little section inside with a zipper. I was concerned at first that the velcro flap was not secure, but it not a big deal. The bag looks good, and is a good deal. I would recommend it and buy again.』
(its just what i wanted. i love it!) 『this bag is perfect. its just what i wanted. i can carry my college work in it and my laptop.』
(Fairly Heavy, Fairly Floppy, Wrong Color) 『I can see how this might be a useful bag for some. For everyday use, I think it's fairly heavy (especially with a book or two inside), and flops around/flops open. The color was a medium to dark grey, rather than the dark green/olive in the description. There were also two snags in the fabric on the front - I'm sure they're inevitable, but I'd prefer to start clean and do my own snagging.
I've returned this produc.』
(Heavyweight Classic Messenger Bag) 『Very awesome item. great condition just like advertised. plus super fast free shipping. great seller』
(Durable, lightweight, fantastic) 『I bought this bag my last year in school and it was great for carrying books and notebooks, pens, water bottles, flashdrives, and all those other things students carry around.
Then life got weird.
Over the past two years this bag and I have been to sea. I've carried it across Europe. We've explored the caves and jungles of Cambodia, and rowed down the fjords of Denmark. This bag has become one of my most trusted possessions.
When emptied it can be squeezed into a ball and tossed in a corner, or stuffed in a larger bag. It's roomy and comfortable, machine washable.
My criticisms are few and forgivable but worth mentioning. The zipper on the inside pocket broke just a few short months after buying the bag and hasn't worked since. As one reviewer also mentioned, the forward metal loop (the loop that connects the strap to the bag where it hangs under your arm, depending on how you wear it) twists lenghtwise. This will not cause the loop to open, but it wears into the canvas of the bag itself. It's not a huge issue, I've had this bag loaded to the brim and walked miles in it, but after over two years I expect the canvas to tear very soon. It's frayed about 60% of the way through.
The buckle on the strap squeaks a little on occasion when walking. It has gotten on my nerves from time to time, but for the most part it doesn't squeak, and when it does a simple shifting of the bag solves the problem.
But seriously, I've never had a bag put up with so much and be so useful.
It's not waterproof and not the best bag for a laptop. My laptop fits nicely in the bag and I have carried it many times, but it isn't padded or waterproof and as a result isn't the best bag if you carry your laptop regularly without a laptop sleeve.
Despite all that I highly recommend this bag. I mean, this is just a green canvas bag and I could write another 20 pages on how trusted it's been. We've been to museums in Paris and ridden elephants in Asia, soaked in the rough waters of the Atlantic and carried groceries home from the store.
This is a great bag.』 『* With 2" wide adjustable shoulder strap and brass hardware.

I wanted a controller in my hand. I went out and bought a cheap general computer controller. That one was... Okay. Mostly, I was disappointed with that one because of the D-Pad. Whenever I would press down, I'd go right. When I'd press up, I'd go left. I had decided that the only way to fix it would to find an actual super nintendo controller with a usb port. I was really excited when I got this one. I ripped it out of the box to instant apprehension. The controller feels completely cheap in your hands. It's a bright white. On the back is a fairly sizable sticker that reads, "MADE IN CHINA." I went and downloaded an emulator and rom onto someone else's computer to test it out. To my complete disappointment: The D-pad was terrible. Up = Up-Left. Down = Down-Right. I'm really upset because someone gifted this to me. Someone spent money on me for this piece of junk. I would not recommend this to anybody that wants to be immersed into a game. Do some research on a good SNES controller, and then buy a controller port to usb port converter. That's my only hope for now. The funniest part about the controller is that the box it comes in says "eight quality buttons." Count with me, here: L&R is 2. Start&Select is 2. A, B, X,&Y is 4. Up, Down, Left,&Right is 4. That's twelve buttons. They don't even guarantee that this thing is awesome on the box. Final details: Cheap plastic. Cheap wire. Terrible marketing. Bad programming. Not worth the purchase.』
(USB game pad) 『Nice controller overall. The buttons are responsive and not mushy. The D-pad is a little noisy and creaky but works well with both Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64.
The pad also works nicely with emulation software on the laptop.』 『The super 16 bit controller features 8 easy to reach buttons in a controller designed to fit the contour of your hands. More buttons allow for greater game control and even more game play excitement than ever before. You will be able to play emulators with an SNES layout controller! 3rd Party, Not original.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Dangerous and unreliable) 『I bought a 30GB iPod, a few years ago which I did not use much. I really only used it occasionally when taking long flights. A few months ago while charging it, it caught fire in my living room. Luckily I noticed the smell, and was able to pick it up with a tongs and put it out in my back garden until it cooled down. I returned it to the Apple Store in Regents Street, and they promptly replaced it with a new one.
I used the new one a bit more frequently than the old one, and used to listen to it on my commute to work. After about three and a half months it stopped working. I brought it in to the apple store, and they told me it had a three month warranty, and because I had gone a few days outside the warranty, they would not be replacing it. They offered to sell me a replacement at a discount, but when I left the store and looked online to see how much money I would be saving, I realised that the discount was actually just the market price of my iPod.
I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the complaints area of their web site (it seems they do not wish to hear from their customers), and wrote in a letter detailing the issue. Once I had submitted my complaint, the website told me "Please note that while we read all suggestions carefully, we are unable to personally respond."
I am awfully disappointed with the quality of the Apple products that I have owned, one being dangerous, and the other being faulty. I would strongly recommend against buying one of these, and I will never buy another Apple product due to their disgraceful customer service. 』
(Great Music Player and computer data back up) 『I purchased this I Pod in order to hold all my music and to back up my computer. I love the device, it has many wonderful options and is fairly easy to use once you have iTunes set up. I recommend this player to anyone with a large music library.』
(Powerful tool to a world of entertainment.) 『I've told my family and friends that this ipod is my link to a soothing, educational and creative world. I am disabled and live in a power lift wheelchair. Listening to my favorite music, books, etc. and watching missed TV episodes and university classes gives me a joy and peacefulness I find it hard to describe. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to own and cherish this wonder of technology. Anna』
(My husbands new ipod) 『my husband has been wanting this for a very long time. And now he never puts it down.』
(The true challenge is to fill it!) 『This is an amazing product, and has redeemed the iPod branding from their 2007 blunder. The controls are familiar and easy to use as with all iPods, but the memory on this thing is absolutely unbeatable. I currently have over 50 gigs of music plus 40 more of movies and I cannot think of anything else to download! The challenge truly is filling this thing up! A few minor complaints: 1) The small whirring sound made by the drive when a video is accessed, minor but annoying nonetheless. 2) Screen size: with the ability to watch movies on the go, a larger screen would be appreciated, even if it increased weight and decreased battery life a bit. Overall I am tremendously satisfied with this device and would suggest immediately purchasing a good case to protect it, skullcandy headphones to enjoy it and an AV/ipod cable to watch movies in HD anywhere.』 『The new iPod classic comes with 160GB of storage in the same compact size, making it the take-everything-everywhere iPod.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Sound quality is horrible) 『While I can hear the music from my iPod there is constantly fuzziness and interference. I use a different plug in device for my XM radio FM reception and don't get any interference. With the cable it doesn't matter what channel I'm tuned to there is intereference. Sorry, but I can't recommend that anyone buy this product.』
(Ugh) 『Got suckered into this FM transmitter with the high $79 price tag at Radio Shack and slick packaging with "monster" brand name hoopla. We live in digital age - that means no static, dig? This device has barely any wattage to overcome radio static in my vehicle, no matter what frequency and I'm in a frigging canyon away from strong FM radio signals. Not acceptable, all monster needed to do was add a pinch more wattage to this device and perhaps the static issue most likely would disappear. Poor engineering, waste of money, enjoy the return and repackaging costs monster - it's your lemon.』
(Horrible!) 『We have a Belkin transmitter for one of our vehicles and it works fine. My husband bought this one because the Belkin unit gets in the way of some of the controls in the car. We bought this for a second vehicle. The static and interference is terrible. I tried it with different Ipods, at different locations, on many different stations and you cannot enjoy the music without all types of static. When you move the Ipod around it gets worse. Save yourself aggravation and pass on this.』
(There are better products out there) 『This is my second FM transmitter. I broke the first one, and got this one as a gift. The static is terrible. When I drive more than 10 miles, I am constantly looking for better stations. The autoscan is not easy to use - I still haven't figured it out. Someone else might be able to, but I know in the other product I didn't have to work so hard to listen to my itouch. My advice is to keep looking and try something else.』
(dont waste your money) 『Don't let the video fool you. The product has poor audio quality. I was very disappointed when I set it up for use in my car.』 『for docking iPods, including 120GB iPod classic, curved-screen iPod nano, and second generation iPod touch * compatible with iPhone and iPhone 3G * 3 programmable station presets * AutoScan automatically finds the clearest available FM frequency * LED display * 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter *』

(ipod cover) 『I wanted something to keep my kids ipod touches if they were dropped . These covers provide what I need and were a great price!! Well satisfied.』
(DLO leather folio hipcase for iPod touch) 『I bought my husband an iPod for Christmas and he needed a sturdy case for it as he is a truck driver and is rough on his toys, he has had cell phones and other things fall out of cases that came to very bad end. this is a very nice case, quality is better than expected.This case holds the iTouch securly with no interference with earbuds or charging cords,the cover is held by a strong magnet that dosen't flap open when wearing it on his belt. I like the fact you don't have to remove from case to charge. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a qulity and functional case.』
(This case made my ipod lost) 『I just lost my almost brand new ipod touch with this case clamped on my belt ring of jeans. My belt ring doesn't crack at all! And I was just walking with my wife on campus! Very likely it is because the clamp on the back of the case is too loose, and cannot hold tightly and prevent the case from slipping out. The $200 ipod+case then gone! This is an amazing case! Now I have seen how amazing it is! I saw some comments at here which reminded that this case is not secure. How I regret that I didn't believe it! The similar thing happened to me so quickly! Take care! Never use this case when you go out.It is totally a pitfall!』
(Perfect for my ipod) 『I have to say, it was the other reviews that got me to purchase this for my iPod touch. I recently got the 3rd Gen 64GB touch and was worried that it would be too "thick" to fit into the type of case I wanted. I'm very happy to say that the touch fits perfectly. I'm confident that if I accidentally drop my touch, it would be safe (but lets hope that that doesn't happen!).
There are openings on the side for volume and the bottom for the headphones and the opening for plug.
I have no comments on the wear of the leather as I've had it for a very short time. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who asked.』 『The HipCase for the iPod touch is a folio-style case that gives you complete body protection, a padded flip-up cover with hidden inner pocket, a leather-covered belt clip, and total iPod access--all in one sleek leather package.
