When I placed this order, I also placed 2 other orders, book orders, with other vendors; their shipping rate was much cheaper and I received both book shipments the day after my herb seeds arrived. You pay this huge shipping cost to be sent FedEx yet I received my book order via postal service at a much better rate and almost as timely manner. Plus I placed my ordered because of the reviews, others wrote stating that their seeds arrived in small pill type containers, my ordered arrived in plain white seed packets. I was giving this as a gift and very disappointment. I would have been better off if I had gone to a local nursery and purchased seed packets. Again, I will never use this company again, a huge rip off!!!!

When the Neuro Fuzzy technology appeared, I decided to retire my old Zo and bought one. I used it regularly for a few years and then the IH came on the market and I just HAD to have one! I sent this one to my daughter, who uses it almost daily and is extremely pleased with it. For anyone who cooks rice several times a week, it very soon pays for itself in convenience and getting a perfect rice every time. (as long as one follows the directions and measures accurately)
I have found both this one and the IH to be very versatile and it can cook a lot more than rice. Check out the Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook and see just how far you can take it.』
(Just works) 『I think we have the same one but the Japanese model. ZH-LS18. Description (neuro fuzzy/10 cup) is the same and it looks exactly the same except that the writing is all Japanese. We got it when we were in Japan in 2003 visiting my wifes's family. We've had it for about 6 1/2 years and it just keeps on ticking. It makes the best rice I have ever had and can be used for more than just plain rice. The feature I personally like best is that you can leave it in warming mode for many hours and the rice stays nice and moist and warm and does not dry out.』
(My wife loves it) 『It's just a good rice cooker. It cooks the rice just right, keeps it good for a long time and is easy to clean』
(What a Truly Excellent Rice Cooker!!! (UPDATED!)) 『Really thought long and hard before spending the money for this, but we are SO-O-O glad we did! We've had it for a few weeks, used it usually twice a day, trying almost every function and several types of rice and steel-cut oats. Perfect results every time! The only negatives we can think of are, the directions that came with it are less than clear (wish they had included more recipes, too) and we're not too keen on the idea of the soldered in battery going dead long before the unit does. However, we would buy this exact same model again without question! This is so easy to use (once you figure it out), produces perfect results (even if you're not quite sure what you're doing) and couldn't be easier to clean. Every part and feature is so exceptionally well designed, with the exception of the above mentioned battery dilemma. Don't hesitate, we waited too long! Worth every penny! Will update in the future, if needed. UPDATE: Several months later, no problems, use this almost daily and STILL love this rice cooker. For those who can't figure it out--Pushing the reset button turns this unit off. Took us a little while to figure this out, as directions in book are somewhat unclear. Hope this helps!』
(Nice rice cooker) 『Decided to get a rice cooker that I can leave on for more than a day and still have warm rice to eat. This one works well. The only thing I wish it had was an on and off switch instead of having to unplug it to turn it off.』 『Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy NSZCC18 Rice Cooker&Warmer』

(Great P'Kolino chair) 『I purchased this product for my one year old granddaughter and she loves it. The side pockets can store her books and is easily accessible to her. It has a wide base so she can even stand on the seat and it will not topple over. It is a nicely made chair. I would recommend this product to anyone.』
(Great little chair for my one year old...) 『My daughter loves the chair...for some reason the green one was on sale for way cheap - so I added some flower embellishment to help "girl" it up. It is a nice soft suede (faux? I don't know for sure - I couldn't find it on the box) I don't know if I would have paid 6o bucks for the chair though...I got it for a steal at nearly half that on here. Best of all, it's made in the U.S.A.!』
(Very nice, but be careful...) 『My 18 month-old loves her P'Kolino Silly Soft Seating in Kiko - Red, and has shown an interest in sitting on grown-up furniture, so this seemed like a natural purchase. In fact, between deciding on whether or not to get the Little Reader chair and actually buying one, she discovered the chair on her own at a local children's museum.
The very first thing I noticed when my box arrived, was that this product is made in the United States. I'm not irrationally against items that are imported, but I thought it was really nice to see a domestic product for a change.
My daughter went straight for the chair as soon as I had it out of its plastic... and jumped on it. And jumped, and jumped, and... whoops! Luckily, I was there to catch her. It's important to understand that this is really just a nice cover over a block of foam. It's deceivingly light, and although it doesn't tip easily from side to side, it does tip backwards easily if you don't have the back against a wall or heavy object.
As long as you're keeping an eye on your child when using the chair (if they have the inclination to be bouncy), this chair is great.
Oh... and for some reason, Amazon likes to put the green one on sale from time to time!』

(Wonderful) 『I first was exposed to Grandpa Elliot through the Playing for Change DVD/CD. I searched all over the Internet and could not find any recordings of his music other than some user-generated videos of him playing on the streets of New Orleans. When I saw that he now has a CD out I was extremely excited to hear it.
Sugar Sweet is a bit on the short side, clocking in with nine songs. I was a bit disappointed that more songs were not included, particularly "Amazing Grace," a song in which I have heard him do incredible renditions. That being said, what is included on the CD is very good. The album has a soul/blues feel to it, with Grandpa doing plenty of solos on the harmonica during songs. My favorite track is the gospel song "This Little Light of Mine." Grandpa's voice is perfect for this song.
I hope that we see more CDs from Grandpa Elliott in the future. He is a true American treasure. 』

It is one of the best tribute albums honoring the genius of George Gershwin. I have watched Joshua Bell perform live at the Opening Night for Concert Season at Hollywood a few years back where he shared the spotlight with John Groban. I was in awe and it was great seeing them perform before a live audience. Listening to his recorded performances is such a delight, but seeing him perform live made me appreciate his flawless violin artistry even more.
The eleven tracks were beautifully arranged for violin and orchestra and well-executed by Joshua Bell with the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of a fine conductor, John Williams, and with the able support of film composer/arranger Alexander Courage. His performances from the first track to the last are as lovely, silky and soft as the petals of a pink English rose. Should George Gershwin be listening from Heaven above, it would surely bring a big smile on his face.
While all the performances are captivatingly charming, my top favorites include four of Gershwin's gems of gems, "Embraceable You," "Love Is Here To Stay," "But Not For Me" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It." These pieces are well-executed in smooth, fluid, effortless and flawless manner. Each piece is given an exquisitely classical twist that makes it more endearing to the ears of fine music lovers. Listening to these pieces is such a very soothing, relaxing and entrancing musical adventure.
After performing for more than fifteen years and subsequent Grammy awards to add to his name, Joshua Bell has well-established his reputation in the art of music as a performer and recording artist. He is definitely recognized as one of the best and youngest violinists who add beauty and grace to the wonderful world of music. His artistry is marked by endless elegance and timeless appeal.
Listening to this album radiates joy in my heart and exudes serenity in my soul. This album is able to achieve such sentiments to my musical sensibilities. I do hope it does the same to all its listeners.
Here's to the magic of fine music!
* * * * *TEN STARS* * * * * 』
(musicianship that mars music) 『I was eager to obtain a copy of Joshua Bell's CD viz The Gershwin Fantasy - as I adore Gershwin and have an enormous respect for Joshua Bell. The interpretations were dazzling to say the least; sometimes too much so. Great musicianship towers over the melodies and harmonies that make classical music 'popular'. One begins admiring the majestic thrust of Bell's variations but winds up deploring the actual sonority of great music subordinated to excessive blasts of interpretation. There is an old Rogers&Hart song entitled: "Don't Bury The Tune" and it kept recurring to me as I listened to Bell - not precisely 'burying the tune' but gussying it up with so many effusions of musical expertise that one became more aware of the 'variations' than the 'theme' which gave birth to them. Bell's firs CD of violin classics is something of a masterpiece, and what makes it so is fidelity to the notes as the composers wrote them. Ultimately, 'fantasy' is the right noun for this second CD. However these are not 'fantasies', they are precious, workmanlike examples of outstanding American music and deserve to be treated as the gems they are. Polished yes, but not rethreaded into garish costume jewelry.

I listen over and over again and especially like his rendition of "Embraceable You" and "But Not For Me" . . I'm a romantic!』 『OnGershwin Fantasy, Joshua Bell's Stradivari embraces the lyrical spirit of Gershwin'sPorgy and Besswith more success than most vocalists. Accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra, Bell's violin literally sings through "It Ain't Necessarily So," "Summertime," "I Got Rhythm," and "Love Is Here to Stay," while John Williams (Saving Private Ryan,Schindler's List) serves double duty as conductor and pianist on several tracks. Three Preludes employs the violin and piano transcription by Jascha Heifetz, a longtime Gershwin friend, and features Bell at his jazziest. Even Gershwin himself--well, the recording of a 1926 piano roll of the composer--joins the virtuoso on the swinging "Sweet and Low-Down."--Jason Verlinde』

(masterpiece, the greatest movie of the 80s) 『Holy God, this is truly a work of art. Danny Steinmann is an underrated master of cinema. He has done some of the best film ever made. Friday the 13th part V is one of them. This movie got everything, sexy Linda Blair doing nude scenes, plenty of action, an awesome soundtrack. This flick deserves to be on dvd with plenty of extras. Watch Linda Blair as she goes against a gang of nasty bad guys and try to avenge her sister's rape. Classic stuff here everyone! It 's a crying shame that this movie is out of print. Try to find it and you will love it, at least if you have good taste in movies.
masterpiece **** out of **** 』
(meet Danny Steinmann) 『[good things] It was a great revenge flick, with a great performance by Linda Blair. Linnea Quigley had a supporting non-speaking role that she did an awesome job with, plus she was absolutely adorable in this movie. It was a typical 80's movie, and since it was done by an ex-porn director (Steinmann) it had that element as well, alot of gratuitus nudity and bush shots.
[the bad] The movie seemed to a bit too sleazy, turning it into more of a softcore movie than anything else. Could have used more blood.
[final thoughts] I think this movie was more an exploitation film than anything else. There was a bit too much nudity, it seemed like scenarios were invented just to fit nudity in the mix (i.e. the fight in the shower). I still like this movie alot though, Linda Blair and Linnea Quigley do an excellent job despite the lack-lustre directing and screen writing. There are about a handful of scenes where you can see the boom-mic come down int he shot-- oops. 』
(Actually very good) 『This was a surprisingly good movie, with descent acting,a great plot, and an equally satisfying lead actress. Linda Blair stars as Brenda in this motion picture and adds a lot to the movie as well as the role. In the end, all i can say is that you should give this movie a chance, like i did.』
(Alternately campy&powerful: these punks really are savages) 『It's tough to get a fix on this movie: it's a boisterous, R-rated camp-fest one minute(featuring a group of kids, including Linda Blair, who look far too old to still be in high school)and an unabashedly brutal trash-flick the next. It has more spirit and drive than Linda's "Chained Heat", and the kids' inter-relationships and tough talks with the school principal are cynically amusing, but the much-discussed rape scene is extremely nasty, as is the sequence with the girl on the bridge. Suddenly these hot-shot punks become murderous, psychotic thugs--yet the tone of the picture never changes. The images are very disturbing, the violence bordering on realistic, but the director keeps it all hopping mad--like a nihilistic cartoon. B-』 『In the searing style of CHAINED HEAT and CLASS OF 1984, SAVAGE STREETS stars Linda Blair as a tough high school coed turned vigilante against a brutal street gang of rapists and murderers.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Everything's Coming Up Crabgrass) 『It looked good on paper: Powerhouse performer Bette Midler playing the most famous role in musical theater, directed by Emile Ardolino, the guy who turned "Dirty Dancing" into a national phenomenon. So what went wrong? The truth is, Midler simply isn't a good enough actress to capture the subtleties of as complex a character as Momma Rose. She's all big eyes and broad gestures, waving arms and manic mood swings; it's a community theater performance, going for the obvious at every turn. Is Rose manic and driven at times? Yes, of course; her father calls her a "crazy woman" in an early scene. But from her first entrance, Midler seems to have confused "powerhouse" with "bulldozer." She spits her lines out in rapid succession, with all the bawdiness with which she tells her famous Sophie Tucker jokes in concert. But where's charm, humor, sexiness; all the manipulatively feminine characteristics that make Rose such a seductive, seditious presence in everyone's lives? Rose gets her way not because she beats Herbie, June and Louise into submission, but because her dreams and desires are so strong they have no choice but to believe in them themselves. Auntie Mame is described as The Pied Piper, but it's an apt description of Rose as well. Midler's characterization is so grating, I can't imagine anyone doing much more than running in the opposite direction.
Unfortunately, with the exception of Jennifer Rae Beck's Dainty June and Linda Hart's Mazeppa, the supporting cast is average at best. And however skilled Ardolino is at directing the musical sequences, he completely fails to mine the humor and tension of Arthur Laurents's brilliant dialogue. The production values are first rate across the boards. Personally, I think June's acts are a little over produced; a certain vaudeville seediness would have made more sense. But the producers and Ardolino obviously adore the material -- who doesn't? -- and they've approached it with tremendous love and attention, so it's hard to fault their decisions.
Is this a better version than the 1962 film? Yes and no. It's a far more faithful adaptation, with Laurents and Sondheim's bawdier material intact, but I think the earlier cast is far superior. I know I'm not supposed to like Rosiland Russell because she wasn't Ethel Merman, but I love the performance; for me, Russell finds the perfect balance between Rose's fierce passion and her crushing vulnerability. And Karl Malden and Natalie Wood are superb, the latter fragile and extremely touching. So as a record of the show as originally written, this version is a must for all musical theatre fans. But if you're looking for the definitive "Gypsy" on film -- it ain't been made yet.』
(Campy, artificial, no improvement on the 1962 film, but still GYPSY) 『About the best you can say for Bette Midler's performance is that she does her own singing. And even some of that is sloppy and careless. Her acting is one-note, and she kills her best comedy lines by alternately gasping or screeching them. (Say what you will about Roz Russell, she at least knew how to deliver lines.) We know that Madame Rose's kiddie troupe is getting a bit long in the tooth, but Jennifer Beck as "Dainty" June looks fully thirty years old. Cynthia Gibb is a lovely Louise/Gypsy, but Natalie Wood "aged" more credibly in the admittedly flawed by classier 1962 theatrical film adaptation. Peter Riegert is too mousy as Herbie, so much of the point of a strong man continually knuckling under to Rose's steamroller whim is lost. (When he does stand up to Rose, he seems more petulant than assertive.) Stars are wasted in bit parts, and Andrea Martin unwisely and unsuccessfully tries to be funny as Mrs. Cratchitt (who was played hilariously "straight" in the 1962 film by Jean Willes.)
The production itself looks cheesy and low budget, and the bright crayon colors don't help. Even the lamb was cuter in the earlier movie!
Still, it's an earnest attempt. And with great material like that, it's hard to go far wrong. As many others have pointed out, the adaptation is faithful to the original. But oh, why didn't somebody think to do a second film of GYPSY in the 70s while Merman was still around to do it?』
(FAITHFUL TO ORIGINAL, BUT MIDLER MISSES THE MARK) 『I LOVE the musical GYPSY. I knew that the creators of the original Broadway musical, Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents were extremely disappointed with the earlier 1962 film version with Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood. Fair enough. So this TV adaptation is scene for scene, word for word exactly like the stage play script. That is excellent. The score is also one of the most outstanding in all of Broadway history. So, we get the original script and score; but unfortunately, that's all we get. I watched this TV movie with great anticipation. My enthusiam deflated as soon as the less than divine Miss M started singing "Some People." I realized, with horror, that she was not portraying Mama Rose. Instead, she was portraying her idea of Ethel Merman portraying Mama Rose!! To make matters worse, her voice sounds extremely hoarse and coarse. Midler never makes the role her own. Surely, Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, and even Rosalind Russell did their own individual interpretations of Mama Rose. If Midler had only thought for a moment about Mama Rose, as the other actresses did, instead of Ethel Merman, she might have had a major triumph. I give Midler credit for giving her all to "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "Rose's Turn", but the overalll production goes straight downhill because Midler simply doesn't "got the stuff." Curiously, Midler did this TV version just after Tyne Daly won a Tony Award for her performance in a Broadway revival. So, any TV version around that time period should have gone by rights to Daly. I wonder if somebody in Midler's camp pulled strings to make this a Midler Vanity production? I know Russell stole the original film from Merman because her husband was a powerful agent. Even I did not mind Russell over Merman. But Midler seriously misses the mark! I know a thing or two about Mama Rose. I saw Judy Kaye play the role in a brief run in Seattle in 2001. Kaye just blew the roof off the theatre. Patti Lupone is doing a limited three week run in NYC as I write this. Now, that's a Mama I'd love to see. If you want a real powerhouse Mama Rose, skip Midler and go with the CD recordings made by Angela Lansbury (1973 London Cast) or Tyne Daly (1989 Broadway revival) instead.』
(Great rendition) 『I was recently in a production of "Gypsy" and have grown pretty attached to it. I thought this rendition was done quite well, but I prefer the Baby June from the original film and I prefer the strippers from the original film as well. I like Bette's performance the best out of the other Mama Rose actresses from film and/or Broadway.
My only complaint was a small glitch in the DVD that causes it to skip. Maybe a spin on the Disc Doctor will cure it.』
(Ethel Merman, move over!) 『What can I say? Bette Midler is totally superb in the role of Mama Rose! She is fantastic! Even though this was a television special, Ms Midler out performed, and out sang Tyne Daly, had more passion that Ethel Merman, and came neck to neck with Angela Lansbury in acting and singing departments. Great DVD!』 『This faithful broadcast TV remake of the classic Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim musical looms as a career triumph for top-lined Bette Midler--and a bittersweet measurement of how far mainstream film and TV have retreated from the glories of musical theater. By the time Midler, as the mother of all stage mothers, observes, "I was born too early and started too late," it's only too obvious that the star's words are an ironic inversion. Had Midler been born earlier, she certainly would have reigned as a major musical comedy star. In a role form-fitted to Ethel Merman's brassy persona and brassier voice, Midler more than holds her ground musically and, especially, dramatically.
Titled partly for its source, the life of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee,Gypsyalludes as well to the itinerant life of her family. The show's focal point isn't the titular character, but rather her manipulative mother, Mama Rose (Midler), who channels her own frustrated dreams of stardom into Baby June, the curly blonde daughter who always eclipses sister Louise. The story follows Rose's machinations as she tirelessly reinvents June to defy the passage of time and even puberty itself. By the time Louise herself conquers the marquee as Gypsy Rose Lee, Rose's single-minded focus has alienated her long-suffering lover and agent, Herbie (a well-cast Peter Riegert), and surrendered to the inherent compromise of burlesque.
Midler's Rose reveals glimpses of vulnerability and a delusional monstrousness that provide a dark, gritty subtext. Studded with wonderful songs, the Styne/Sondheim score underlines those themes deftly, especially in Sondheim's multileveled lyrics. ThisGypsyalso benefits from uniformly nifty casting: in addition to Reigert (Crossing Delancey, Local Hero), Cynthia Gibb slowly blooms as Louise, and Jennifer Rae Beck, Andrea Martin, Christine Ebersole, and erstwhile new-wave singer Rachel Sweet are delights.--Sam Sutherland』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Cliff-note version of a life) 『This is a fair but very typical 2 hour made-for-tv movie that really does not do this fine lady justice. She was so much more than just the well spoken arm candy that this movie portrays her as. While Jacquline Smith does a respectable job with the script given I believe that "A Woman Named Jackie" came closer to portraying the true character of Jackie.』
(A great movie that offers a glimpse into what Jackie was like while married to JFK) 『This is a great movie staring Jaclyn Smith covering the period of time of Jackie's childhood through when Jackie met Jack Kennedy and married him up until Jack's death in Dallas. It offers a glimpse of what Jackie was like during this period and what being married to JFK was like. The period of time called Camelot was a magical time in US history and this film offers a unique and up beat perspective into this period.
For example there is a part in the film where Jackie went to Europe and Jack asked here to bring back some books. A whole crate of them. After they were married Jackie complained that the press asked here questions like if her panties were cotton or nylon. Jack said that when you give them something better to talk about they will and that's when she decided to renovate the White House.
Jaclyn Smith's acting is superb and the contrast between the role she plays and Jackie's alcoholic father is quite interesting. It's an great addition the body of knowledge about Jackie and JFK and a great Jaclyn Smith film.
The VHS tape version that is currently available has a running time of 122 minutes. The original version was 150 minutes. It would be nice if ABC Circle Films who produced the film in 1981 or whoever owns it would release the entire 150 minutes on DVD. 』
(A beautifully acted and produced saga of Jackie's early years) 『Not to be missed! Beginning with Jackie's childhood and continuing up to the great tragedy in Dallas, this lavish production offers an emotionally-charged, unforgettable performance by Jaclyn Smith. Perhaps her best performance ever, and it is uncanny how one can almost believe one is seeing the young Jacqueline Kennedy when Jaclyn Smith is on-screen.
Rod Taylor offers a wonderful portrayal of Jackie's beloved father.
Truly a film to savor -- a bit hard to find, but worth adding to one's collection as it is definitely a film to see more than once. Recommended!』
(An outstanding dramatization of Jackie O's life.....) 『This 1981 tv-movie is one of Jaclyn Smith's best performances in her reign in Hollywood as the undisputed Queen of TvMovies. This movie came out right after the cancellation of her tv series "Charlie's Angels." So, it was a big risk for both the star and the producers if she will be taken seriously as Jackie O.

(Home Sweet Home) 『After a year of sewer gas odor and little response from the town of Sturbridge we can now sit outside in our gazebo and enjoy the fresh breezes of summer. Since installing the Sewer Oder Sweetfilter there has been no offensive sewer odor and my neighbor has also installed one eliminating their oder problems. It will be interesting to see how long this product stands up to the amount of odor vapor I have seen exiting the vent pipe.』
(Surprisingly effective) 『We've owned two houses, and in both houses, we've needed to address septic odor problems that occur outside the house. It's no fun to be having dinner on your patio, only to have nasty septic odors wafting around your nose. So, we tried this, and it works like a charm. It's been in place for several years in our one home, and it's still working.』

(Worked immediately) 『Ten stars!! After some repair to my sewer, the gas smell coming from my roof was overpowering (it used to sneak out somewhere else). I could barely walk out my door. I had the gas company come out, because I couldn't even imagine what could smell that awful, but they said no gas could be found except from my sewer vent. My plumber said he knew someone who had tried this unit, so I tried it. Within minutes of installing it, the smell was gone. I was fairly desperate, and didn't know what to do. This was a simple and inexpensive solution to a very foul problem.』 『Sweetfilter is a newer style sewer vent filter that resists freeze-up and eliminates sewer odor overnight.

First, all drain and sewage waste from your house flows into the sewer or septic yard tank. Secondly, as water flows into any drain, foul, corrosive, toxic gas laden, air is displaced and must be vented (H2S - hyrdogen sulfide and methyl mercaptans), or the water will not go down the drain. Many homes (especially mass produced houses) have been designed to minimize plumbing costs. One major efficiency is the use of branch venting for fixtures in close proximity. Although less expensive initially, it makes sewer odors far more common.In many areas it is now law that all drain pipe roof vents are fitted with activated carbon filter vents when a new house is constructed. However, they can be installed into existing systems. Often this is necessary to assure proper "odor free" operation of the vent pipe.
The PEC Sweetfilter requires no special tools for installation and simply slides onto existing drain vent pipes on your roof with universal fitting included with your purchase. Constructed of black coated PVC and auto-regenerative granulated Zeocarbon , the PEC Sweet Filter eliminates septic tank yard odors for up to 5 years without recharging.Sweetfilter works in any position, even upside down. Slide units over existing cold air roof vent stacks, yard vents, or "candy canes". Use screwdriver to rotate clamp screws clockwise evenly until secure against stack.

The horror of this story is that I think it will come to pass in this country in much less than the 500 years projected in the movie. According to my brother we have less than 50 years before this prognostication comes to pass, not the predicted 500 years. This movie should be required viewing for all high school seniors, even though that may be too late. The sexual content makes it inappropriate for younger audiences. This movie shows that the politcally correct and homogeneous education (no child left behind) that we are adopting these days, will lead to a stupidity of the general population that cannot be overcome even by COSTCO.』
(Even with the sophomoric humor, I still loved this film) 『My daughter insisted that I watch this movie. I really don't like sophomoric humor and bathroom jokes, but that being said...
This movie is fantastic, both in social statement and satiric comment and insight into our country's problems. I'm a 50-year-old woman and professional writer. I'm blessed to have many, many smart friends who are college professors and doctors and lawyers and fellow writers. I've observed that the really smart, educated people are not reproducing. Most of my highly intelligent friends have purposefully made a decision to not have children.
Meanwhile, I also have connections to people who live in poverty down in the south. Despite the fact that they have no money and no education and no teeth, they're breeding like bunnies. And just as "Idiocracy" portrays, these folks are not pair-bonding for life. Sally Joe has six kids but those most of those six kids were fathered by different men, and those men fathered several other children by several other women.
I fear that if we don't start demanding that parents take full financial, moral and emotional responsibility for their offspring, that our future will look like that portrayed by Idiocracy. You can see some of that already. I'm an architectural historian and try finding a skilled craftsman who knows how to replicate early 20th Century craftsmanship. Try finding someone who knows how to install a new boiler for your hot-water heating system. Or better yet, go online and read some of the comments left at different sites by America's youth. Now *that's* scary. Our current crop of 20-somethings and 30-somethings know pretty much nothing about everything.
Whether or not you're into Mike Judge's style of humor, Idiocracy is an important movie and I fear that it's also a chilling portent of things to come.』
(great and hilarious movie) 『This movie was not given its dues when it came out. Maybe to lack of marketing or whatever. But, this movie was great. What an extreme look at were we are heading. If you like comedy and Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph. (Hoped I spelled her name right) Then you will definitely add this movie to your collection and watch it again and again.』
(It's the height of "idiocracy"...) 『that this film didn't recieve a wide theatrical release. I, like most people, had never heard of this film. Luckily, I came across it on a top 50 list of the best dystopian movies. The film has to walk a fine line between showing stupidity and yet not becoming too stupid itself. Whether or not it succeeds comes down to personal taste and the attitude with which it is viewed. The tone of this movie is cartoonish, and it's filled with over the top sexual and bathroom humor. This will turn many people off, but, unfortunately this is a necessary evil, because you can't lampoon these things without first displaying them.』
(Couldn't be more timely) 『If you think we are all dumbing down and you have a sense of humor, you may like this movie. It's much easier to watch than Glen Beck. One reason it did poorly at the box office was due to its limited release. Our loss.
The Presidential Address-cum-World Wrestling Meet is memorable (yes, machine guns can quiet the congressional delegation) as is the hospital scene where the whole operation is run by idiots and is completely impersonal (hmmm). Lots of visual gags and cheap but funny shots. Let's face it, this movie is more prescient than Kubrick's "2001".
Three cheers for Mr. Judge. Somebody had to say it, and he did while being funny. Unlike the pompous commentators who just stir up anger.』 『Given thatOffice Spaceis a bona fide cult classic, it comes as some surprise that Mike Judge's follow-up wasn't more heavily promoted. Granted, this live-action comedy is a darker, more pointed proposition, but it's unfortunate that few theater patrons got the opportunity to, well, judge for themselves. InIdiocracy, theKing of the Hillcreator visualizes what would happen if Devo's proposition--that mankind is in the process of devolution--came to pass. The catalyst: the overeducated start having fewer children while the undereducated have more. Enter Joe (Luke Wilson), a military librarian with no family and even less ambition. The Pentagon chooses him for a top-secret hibernation project due to his extreme "average-ness." They select Rita (SNL's Maya Rudolph), a prostitute, for the same reason. When the experiment goes haywire, the two emerge 500 years later--rather than one. Now it's 2505 and they're the brightest people in the over-polluted land. Everyone else is, basically, Beavis and Butt-head. Yes, the satire couldn't be less subtle, but the premise gives Judge license to make as much fun of junk food pop culture as dystopian classics like1984andPlanet of the Apes. Wilson wisely plays it straight, even if the actors who surround him sometimes succumb to excess. And the effects may be cheesy, but that just adds to the fun.Idiocracyfeatures former footballer Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris) as President Camacho and Dax Shepard (Punk'd) as Joe's futuristic friend Frito.--Kathleen C.

(This film is truly something...) 『There is something about the pairing of an over-the-top Diane Keaton and an arrogant and sarcastic Jack Nicholson that just gets me every time. It doesn't matter that Keaton's antics can be completely unrealistic, or that Nicholson's `all too familiar' character development can verge on lazy; all that matters is that together they are undeniably entertaining. You can't help but get sucked into their chemistry, which just oozes onto every frame of this film.
`Something's Gotta Give' is one of those films that shouldn't work, and when dissected it really doesn't work, but manages of actually WORK thanks to a combination of smart dialog, funny performances and total chemistry.
Erica Barry is a playwright past her bloom who has fooled herself into thinking that she is happy being alone. Her daughter, Marin, is dating Harry Sanborn, a music producer who is so full of himself he comes across more pathetic than confident. Harry is the same age (or at least closer in age) as Erica. When a series of events forces Harry under the care of Erica, love starts to bloom in an unexpected area. Soon Harry and Erica are finding that they enjoy one another and soon they are giving themselves to each other in ways they never imagined possible; but, is this relationship really meant to work?
Nancy Meyers script starts off wonderfully, but it does start to drag in the third act; getting a little tiresome. I have found this to be a problem with Meyers work. She understands how to create something fresh and exciting in this genre (romantic comedy) that is so tired and clichéd, but she doesn't know how to edit very well. I actually liked the plot twist with the younger doctor falling for Erica, and I actually felt that the usually stiff and monotonous Reeves nailed his performance, but it does drag on for too long and starts to verge on unnecessary, which is sad since the plot point in its initial stages feels very nicely crafted. In fact, my only real complaints with this film fall in the scripts final stages.
Everything else seems to blend together beautifully.
Even though this film is riddles with quirks and flaws and moments that just feel SO WRONG, they work so well with one another. That's why I said that this is a film that works even though it technically shouldn't. Keaton and Nicholson thrive off one another and really give the audience their moneys worth. I wish that Nicholson didn't have to constantly fall back on this variation of his persona, but at least he does it well (unlike actors like Pacino who have played variations of themselves for years yet fail to be anything more than an annoying caricature).
This film is fun, and I applaud it for embracing an age bracket that is often dismissed in films, especially of this nature (how many senior romantic comedies are out there people?).』
(Witty and Charming) 『This is one of my favorite movies. It's witty and charming. I think the screenplay is great. I loved the diversity of characters in the film. It always makes me laugh!』
(Diane Keaton) 『The reason I ordered this movie is because I absolutely love it and wanted to have my own copy to watch whenever I wanted. I especially like the low pricing of movies on Amazon.』
(Great Dating Movie for the Over 50 Group) 『This is a great dating movie for those of us over 50 years of age............how true it depicts the difference between men and women after a breakup - men date younger women and women cry for days........been there and done that and probably most women can totally relate. Kianu Reeves is the sexy, nice younger man who loves older women and how true that is and I know first hand as I am in the dating world. I love Jack Nicholson and again the cast was great. Makes you laugh and cry and I love happy endings.』 『As upscale sitcoms go,Something's Gotta Givehas more to offer than most romantic comedies. Obviously working through some semi-autobiographical issues regarding "women of a certain age," writer-director Nancy Meyers brings adequate credibility and above-average intelligence to what is essentially (but not exclusively) a fantasy premise, in which an aging lothario who's always dated younger women (Jack Nicholson, more or less playing himself) falls for a successful middle-aged playwright (Diane Keaton) who's convinced she's past the age of romance, much less sexual re-awakening. As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma or discovering their mutual desire,Something's Gotta Giveis terrific, proving (in case anyone had forgotten) that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. Myers falls short with the sitcom device of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wants Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it's believable but shallow and too easily dismissed. Myers also skimps on supporting roles for Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, and Jon Favreau, but thankfully this is one romantic comedy that doesn't pander to youth.

I saw it on cable a couple of times and never grow tired of watching it.. so much so that I purchased it for my library of "must have movies"... It is just a feel good movie that refined the art of looking back at your relationships in life and being amazed at what the outcome could have been/should have been. It is well played by the entire ensemble. Can't miss with this one!』
(Isla Fisher will still your heart) 『Definitley, Maybe is about a man Will played by (Reynolds)who decides to tell the story to his daughter played by (Breslin)of how he met her mother. By doing this Will gets a second chance on love by looking into his past and realizing its never too late to go back.
This is a pretty good movie for a romantic comedy. April played by (Fisher) is tottaly adorable in this film I love everything about her character especially her style and witty humor. In my opinion she makes the movie. I'd say only buy this movie if you love romantic comedies, other wise you will most likely be dissapointed.』
(Enjoyable but not amazing) 『this is a decent movie that entertains you but is nothing more than another chick flick and does not have anything special.』
(Definitely Maybe) 『A soon-to-be-divorced political consultant has to answer some hard questions from his 11-year-old daughter as he explains his past relationships. Definitely, Maybe is the best romantic comedy. You should definitely watch this movie with someone and have a great time.』
(A TRUE GEM OF A ROMANTIC COMEDY!!) 『A very cute comedy, It reminds me of my little girl Amie. It's great to be a father and have boy's, but your not a true Daddy til you have a little girl!! As well life doesn't always turn out the way we thought it might. I rate this movie a 5 of 5 stars!!』 『Ryan Reynolds and a bevy of excellent actresses star in this smart and touching romantic comedy about a little girl trying to understand her father's complicated history with women. Will Hayes (Reynolds) is in the midst of a divorce, and his 11-year-old daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) wants to understand what went wrong with her parents' relationship. She begs her father to tell her the entire story of how he met her mother. Will begrudgingly agrees, but changes the names of everyone involved, leaving it up to Maya to decipher who in the story is her mother. Thus Will begins his tale, weaving a romantic and amusing maze of missed connections and bad timing with the likes of three beautiful women: Summer (Rachel Weisz), April (Isla Fisher), and Emily (Elizabeth Banks). Will bounces from relationship to relationship, misunderstandings and confusion thwarting him every step of the way. Who will he end up with? Which woman is ultimately right for him? The film keeps Maya and the viewer guessing right until the very end, with a bittersweet but ultimately triumphant surprise twist tying it all together. Reynolds has long outgrown his VAN WILDER days, and does an excellent job of holding his own with the talented Fisher, Weisz, and Banks. The film is certainly a stand-out from the current crop of romantic comedies, in that the women are intelligent, well-drawn characters, and the relationships are painted with a funny, but realistic eye. And blessedly, it doesn't end with the standard blowout wedding that has become the hallmark of such films. DEFINITELY, MAYBE is a smart and sexy take on the complexities of love, and still manages to be kid friendly, while sending a very positive, honest message to children of divorce.』 『A romantic comedy that begins with a discussion about sex education and ends with a bit of an unexpected twist,Definitely, Maybefocuses on an engaging father and his 10-year-old daughter. She is curious about the women her dad loved prior to marrying (and separating from) her mother. Instead of telling her, "None of your business," he decides to tell her about them... Sort of. Will is played by Ryan Reynolds and his precocious daughter Maya is adroitly portrayed by Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). Will figures out a way to tell Maya about his most meaningful relationships in a PG manner that also is interactive for her (Or as she describes it, "a love story mystery!"). Changing a few of their characteristics and disguising their names, Will tells her about three exceptional women and Maya tries to deduce which one became her mom. Was it Emily (Elizabeth Banks), the wholesome Midwestern girl afraid of the big city; Summer (Rachel Weisz), the exotic journalist; or April (Isla Fisher), the rebel with a cause? Hearing about all these women, Maya asks, "What's the boy word for slut?" Spanning 15 years, back to when Will was an idealistic young man with the hopes of one day becoming president of the United States, the film has a nice light touch and deals with father-daughter bonding issues in a unique, if not completely realistic manner. Reynolds is a genial but bland leading man, but the women--including young Breslin--more than hold their own in this fun film. --Jae-Ha Kim

I have not noticed any problems with it staining or leaving marks on fabrics. The scent is very mild. It feels great for massages and seems to be a good value. My pets (cats and dog) seem to like it a lot - they try to lick it off my hands - so I would recommend keeping the bottle away from pets. I would imagine it might make them sick if they got a large quantity of it.』
(Great oil) 『This oil was not at all sticky or messy. It absorbed very quickly into the skin. I will definitely buy more when I've finished up with this bottle. One word of advice though, whoever packaged this could definitely do a much better job. The bottle top was not sealed well at all and it leaked through the cardboard box it was mailed it.』
(As advertised) 『Non sticky, clean and natural oil to be used for massages. After using this, I don't think I would ever use any other type of oil again. Goes on smooth and lasts. Be careful though as the oil does have a tendency to get everywhere.』
(buyer beware) 『I bought this oil so I could make perfume out of natural essential oils. The product worked good, but when I turned the bottle upside down the plastic rating in the triangle was a 3. You know the saying, 2 4 5 you'll stay alive. Well when plastic is given a 3 that means that the plastic was treated with pvc which can leak into foods and is a known carcinogen. The whole purpose of making my own perfumes was to stay away from carcinogens in commercial brand perfumes. I was very disappointed :( 』
(I love this oil) 『I have ordered this oil twice - and plan on re-ordering as often as needed. First time I bought two bottle - one for myself and one for my sister and mom to share - they fell in love with it too and when I got myself a second bottle I also bought 2 more (1 for my mom and 1 for my sister because both wanted their own bottle).
It glides on, feels luxurious, and soothes dry skin all over but more importantly it is helping with our extremely dry, cracked and red patches of skin that all three of us have. There is no smell. It feels wonderful on the skin. Great product for a great value, and the delivery is quick.』 『Sweet Almond Oil is probably the most popular base for massage oils because of its luxurious emollient feel and absorbability. It is used both by itself and in combination with other oils to make custom blends』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Ok...) 『I bought this like expecting a lot but in the end, it's just a normal hair product. It DOES clean my hair- but so does regular shampoo. Although there aren't any sulfates in it, there is alcohol which strips and damages the hair like so many other products. I'm still using it because I spent the money, but I won't reorder it when it's gone. Overall, an expensive product for what it claims to do.』
(Definitely suprised!) 『I must admit that I thought I was going to be ripped off by this product. I have very fine, wavy hair that tends to be frizzy with use of normal shampoos and conditioners. Shampoos destroy my hair and give me split ends like no ones business, and conditioners usually weigh it down like crazy leaving my hair looking oily or dull. Before I purchased this product, I began using Purology hydrating shampoo and conditioner with olive oil which was working much better than anything else I used before and which I still use on occasion, but I still had split ends. After being up way too late watching Infomercials on a Monday night, I decided to order the WEN sweet almond mint cleansing conditioner (through Amazon of course, to avoid being sucked into a repeating order dealie-doo). It arrived quickly, and I tried it immediately. It is quite a lot of work to massage and comb through my waist-length hair and it does require a lot of product each time in order to fully saturate(be sure to follow directions about adding water to create "lathering effect" and it will go a little farther) ,but the results were MUCH better than I expected! I literally "lost" 90% of my split ends (no idea how that works, but its a true story), get compliments on the shine and texture all the time and have more curl thanks to my locks being less weighed down than before. It is by no means a "miracle" product, but it definitely works some wonders for me! I occasionally will switch back to the purology (I have a 32oz of conditioner as well as shampoo left, so Im not wasting that $150 product)and I wash my hair every other day just to draw out the WEN's usage. If I were to use it everyday on my hair, the 32oz bottle would be gone in less than 3weeks! Overall, I will most likely be a lifetime user of this product once I run out of pureology. I reccommend you at least give it a try, though, as we ALL should know by now, everyones hair is different so it may not work for you as it did for me! I gave this product only 4 out of 5 stars simply due to the price, and the amount of work required to saturate long hair. Other than those two factors, I think it's amazing :D』
(Perfect complement to control fine hair) 『I've tried various styling products over the years for my fine hair. Usually I encounter ones that are too oily or heavy for my hair. This one I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't take much - just a couple small pumps for my shoulder length hair to "piece" hair and control fly aways. I really like this item and highly recommend it.』
(Didn't notice much difference) 『I am a HUGE Wen fan now after recently starting the cleansing conditioners. The styling cream, however, I haven't noticed much difference if I use it or not. I wish u could use it on damp hair instead of soaking hair to define curls, etc. while it's still damp. It just seems like an additional leave in conditioner, not a styling cream.』
(Good shampoo substitute-too much S&H) 『The product is great. It does all that it says it will do. My hair feels better and has a softer look to it. HOWEVER, THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES ARE OUTRAGEOUS. I may start searching for a similar product where I don't have to pay those charges.』 『Achieve all your styling options and the benefits of a leave-in conditioner, polishing gloss and gel in one product. This amazing styling creme works great on straight, wavy and curly hair types to give them rich moisture, gleaming shine and body with hold. The virtually weightless formula is used as a heat-protectant from damage caused by styling tools, and also to tame hair from frizz when drying naturally.』

I am very disapointed in this product. As for the size, it's very small and portable. All in all, I would not recommened this product. One star is generous.』

(Could be better) 『I love Paula Deen, and I love to bake. I am also pretty good at it. Most of the recipes are very tempting, but I do not like to use cake mixes and other pre-packaged food in my baking. I expected better from her.
Also, I have made 2 things so far. The orange brownies, and the pumpkin squares. While the brownies were very tasty, the baking time was way off, and the glaze is very thick - way too thick to pour, as she directs in the recipe. It's a very simple recipe, and I am sure that it was a mistake in the instructions.
The pumpkin cake was very good, but that was because of the icing. The cake itself was bland and tasteless, and crying out for additional spice and butter instead of corn oil. I belive that a cake needs to stand on its own, and the icing just enhances it.
That said, I'll still use the book, but I am aware that I will have to make a lot of adjustments.』

Not a bad buy.』 『Warmly effusive and dear yet gritty, Paula H. Deen seems mythically Southern. But this cooking luminary, proprietor of Savannah, Georgia's Lady&Sons restaurant, is the real thing.The Lady&Sons Just Desserts, her all-sweets follow-up toThe Lady&Sons Savannah Country CookbookandThe Lady&Sons, Too!, celebrates the Southern sweet tooth with 120 recipes, including traditional formulas for the likes of Brown Sugar Pound Cake and Lemon Chess Pie as well as best-loved restaurant innovations like Turtle Cake, Lemon Curd Pudding, and Gooey Butter Cake. ("These are very, very rich," Deen advises, "and a little goes a long way--even for piggies like me!") Lovers of the restaurant--which grew to prominence from $200 and lots of determination--as well as those seeking easy-to-fix temptations should put this book to happy use.
Among its wide-ranging recipes,Dessertsoffers Carolyn's Jell-O Cheesecake, Lauren's Chocolate Drizzle Pie, and Hidden Mint Cookies--recipes based on cake mixes and other convenience foods. These creditable sweets are of course work saving, but are perhaps better viewed as solidly characteristic of their time and place. Equally particular are candies like Mamma's Divinity and Uncle Bubba's Benne Candy, and "other sweet things," as Deen dubs them, such as Banana Split Brownie Pizza, Easy Homemade Oreo Ice Cream, and Fresh Apples with Butterscotch Dip. With asides by Deen family members, including son Jamie's "Food Is Love" ("I am right this minute 20 pounds over-loved," he writes), useful tips (Deen provides an "emergency" recipe for sweetened condensed milk), and plenty of piquant anecdote (after Deen had rattled on endlessly to her grandmother about her intention to open a restaurant, the older woman paused and replied, "Paula, have you lost you damned mind?"), the spiral-bound book is not only full of delectable eating, it's lots of fun.--Arthur Boehm』
『As Paula Deen will tell y'all, there's just no satisfying way to finish a delicious meal without a scrumptious, mouthwatering dessert!
In this beautiful hardcover edition ofThe Lady&Sons Just Desserts,Paula -- author, restaurateur, and Food Network star -- devotes her trademark southern charm to a tempting collection of more than 120 delightful recipes, guaranteed to indulge any sweet tooth.

The pictures of these glorious cakes and petit fours are fabulous and you feel inspired just by viewing. I can't wait to attempt some of the featured desserts. I'm delighted by this book and so is everyone else who sees it. A great purchase!』
(stunning) 『Wow what an inspirational book - so pretty, girlie and divine. I already have had success with one of the recipes.』
(Very pretty indeed) 『Beautiful ideas here. Has some nice designs that would work for a variety of events. She organizes her books in sections, cookies, minicakes, and large cakes. Her ideas are very fresh and pretty and also within reach for most people with a little experience decorating cookies and cakes. There are even a few designs that are more masculine, which can be hard to find.』
(Be Inspired) 『This book is small, but mighty! It is amazingly simplistic yet provides a wealth of inspiration for you creative ideas. The photography is breathtakking.
I think that with practice you can master the cookies, marzipan, gumpaste and fondant decorations in this book. Piping royal icing flowers is a bit more daunting. I would suggest a class or video for royal and butter cream icing flowers, Wilton How to Make Icing Flowers DVD because they can be a bit tricky (at least for me.)
This book provides six basic recipes for cookies, cakes and frostings. My hope is that you are purchasing the book for decorating ideas and instruction, not for the recipes. The author's decorating syle is clean, but very elegant. The book provides a strong decorating foundation -- you can use this as a springboard for your imagination.
This is the perfect book if you want to make your first decorated cookies or petit fours. If you are making your first tiered cake this book will provide inspiration, but you may need to supplement it with other sources for complete instruction.』
(Artistic) 『This is another of those step-by-step cake guides that was very well worth the money. This particular book kept selling out at Michaels so I had to go online and purchase. Definitely not disappointed 』 『Product Description

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Met all expectations as usual) 『Amazon came through again. I had bought the same coat, different color locally, but was told by my niece that she REALLY wanted brown just 6 days before xmas. Amazon got me the coat, in the right color, with 2 days to spare and even cheaper than my local purchase. Can not thank you enough!』
(Great Value) 『This fleece jacket was priced right. The color appeared more pink in the picture on the computer. When it arrived, it was more purple in color.』
(Perfect just what she needed...Whew!) 『In Short, like it is described Spring jacket. My daughter at 11 needed a light weight jacket...great color choices, not to mention the price was great...if it gets misplaced...it can be replaced. Thanks for the selection, Columbia is reliable.』
(great coat) 『I bought this jacket for my daughter for a spring coat. She says it keeps her warm in the chilly mornings at the bus stop. It fits her good.』
(nice color, feels thin) 『I ordered this for my 10 year old daughter. She has borrowed my fleece jacket a few times, and wanted one. She loves the color and it fits well. She is thin but tall......you need to order up on size. My only complaint is that the material is thinner than my Columbia jacket. I hope it holds up as well. 』 『Extremely versatile, the girl's Benton Springs from Columbia Sportswear is great as a stand alone fall or spring sweater or as a second layer under a child's ski coat. This cozy sweater features 100% polyester MTR fleece, which is easy to care for and won't pill even after multiple washings. This lightweight fleece jacket has a stand-up collar, full zip front, hand warming pockets, and offers radial sleeves for a full range of motion.
About Columbia Sportswear Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.
Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign.
The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

『Put your little girl in the Columbia Benton Springs Fleece Jacket and head out for a hayride. This fleece jacket keeps her warm while you peruse the pumpkin patches or play in the leaves. A high collar zips all the way up to block fall breezes, and two hand-warmer pockets protect her digits when the temperature drops.

However, if baby is less than cooperative, it is a hassle to zip these suckers up when fists are flailing.』 『Keep your little ones hands warm and toasty in this Infant Chippewa Mitten by Columbia!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Very cute wings!) 『Matched perfectly with the purple/pink tutu purchased for 2yr old neice. All the kids wanted to play with this during Christmas time - heck even my boys wanted a turn wearing them. Seemed very durable and well made. Very cute wings with sparkles on it.』
(Adorable, Dress Up) 『My niece loved this , and the fairy skirt and boa... she said this was the best christmas gift ever... she looked so adorable...』 『These stunning fairy pixie wings will be perfect for your little fairy princess. These double layered wings have straps on the back so the wings can be worn like a backpack. The perfect accessory for any fairy, butterfly, princess or pixie costume. Great for playing "make believe" or "dress up".

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Disappointed Gift to Give) 『I purchased several of these as gifts. I received one for myself and was truly disappointed in the small amounts of sweets. The packaging was good but I would have prefered less packaging and more sweets. Although I previously rated this item as good, after seeing the actual product, I would not recommend this item as a gift. It was not a good value for the dollars spent.』 『Our beautifully detailed red and gold set of gift boxes stack high with decadent sweets and treats to share!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (So Delicious!) 『I sent this hot chocolate mix to a friend. She called to thank me and to say it was the best hot chocolate she ever had. "It was delicious and I am trying not to keep drinking it all at once!"』
(not sweet enough) 『I thought the hot choc. mix was not very sweet and didn't like it. So unless you like you choc. a bit unsweet then don't get it.』
(Chocolate) 『This product of course was very tasty, the only part I did not enjoy was paying more for the shipping than what I paid for the chocolate mix.』
(Hot and Yummy) 『If you want a real chocolate taste, then I highly recommend this. I mean, come on... it's from Ghirardelli. My girlfriend and I have enjoyed this many times during this cold weather.』
(The perfect gift for a chocoholic) 『I sent this to my sister for Christmas. She serves it to guests and they rave over how good this is. And that she gives them the "good stuff." I think its' cool to have a high quality chocolate for treasured guests.』 『The luxuriously deep flavor of Ghirardelli premium Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa creates the intense, lingering chocolate experience cherished by true cocoa lovers. We start with cocoa from the finest beans, blend just the right amount of sugar and real vanilla, and add real chocolate for a rich chocolate taste.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Yummy Popcorn) 『This was a suggested variety of popcorn and seasonings when we purchased our hot air popper. All four popcorn varieties have popped up very nicely and have a wonderful taste. All the seasonings have been very tasty too.』
(Popcorn Delight) 『I really enjoy using the different seasonings on the popcorn. The seasonings really add flavor to the popcorn. I truly recommended that my friends and family purchase the variety pack.』
(something new and fun with popcorn) 『I had watched Good Eats and Alton Brown had mentioned that there was not beating the taste of this type of popcorn....he was correct, while the popped corn is smaller it is packed with a lot more taste...
I read the reviews before I bought this product and I was concerned about how it would pop up. I haven't had any problems with the popcorn popping and I only have about 10 unpopped kernels in a whole batch and the side of my bowl isn't covered with kernel casings like it is with the stuff I get at the store. The cost is high and feeding 7 people popcorn for a snack I am not sure if we will use it much but I definitely like the taste much better... and the salts don't have coloring added like the store popcorn salt which I like... I give this product 2 thumbs up and would definitely buy again.』
(Outstanding, delicious, and full of variety.) 『Purchased as a Christmas Gift, this popcorn is exactly what my friend wanted and more! We've never eaten RED POPCORN! It was a delicious discovery! 4 containers of popcorn w/4 seasonings complete this yummy set.』
(Very pleased with product, but seasonings were my favorite!!) 『I bought this as a christmas gift for my dad who loves popcorn. We had a great time popping a little bit of each kind along with our traditional orville kernels, and having a big family taste test. That alone was almost worth the purchase right there. There were definitely some I liked more that others. But I think that I just may not be a gourmet popcorn expert. While I liked some of these, I found that I was just as happy with our store bought orville. It could absolutely just be the fact that that's what I grew up on and it's my "comfort" popcorn. To me, it's just not worth spending the extra money. Now, the seasonings are a whole different story! I loved them!! I fell in love with the white cheddar seasoning!! It was the best white cheddar popcorn seasoning I have ever tasted. When I looked at it closely, I discovered why. The first ingredient in it is "Vermont Cheddar Cheese"!!! It actually tastes like cheese, not fake, chemically reproduced, cheese. My sister and I actually went through the small jar within about 4-5 months and I went straight to the fireworks popcorn website and bought more! The other seasonings were great too. The caramel pecan was definitely interesting! It was not something I would expect on popcorn, but ended up really liking it. The butter and salt were also great basic popcorn seasonings. And I have found that with popcorn seasoning, the finer the grain, the better. The more fine it is, the better it clings to the popcorn, so the super fine texture of these were excellent. Overall, I was very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone who wants to see what other kind of popcorn is out there in the world.』 『Fireworks Popcorn features their top four varieties of Natural Gourmet American Popcorn and four tasty popcorn seasonings in the Gourmet Popcorn and Seasoning Gift Set. Enjoy Wisconsin White Birch, Starshell Red, Savanna Gold, and High Mountain Midnight gourmet popcorn complemented by four natural popcorn seasonings. Developed exclusively for Fireworks Popcorn, the seasonings satisfy every craving from salty to sweet, from zesty to mild. They spice up more than just popcorn.

(Perfect) 『There's nothing to dislike about this puzzle. As with many Melissa and Doug puzzles, thought has been given to everything, even the placement of lines within the image and how they bridge the edges of the puzzle pieces. Gorgeous colours, good construction, a cute design, and enough repetition of thematic elements to give young minds small problems to ponder. My 4-year-old has gone on to tougher puzzles, but still likes to put this one together on occasion.』
(Love this puzzle) 『My 3 yrs old daughter just loves this puzzle. We got it just a few days ago and she has done it four times already. Only in her first time, she needed some help from us to find the pieces from the same color first and we showed her what the image looks like. Then she will want to do it all by herself everyday without needing the puzzle picture. I am getting one more wood puzzle for her today.』
(Beautiful puzzle) 『My 3-year-old and I love this rainforest puzzle. Bright colors and great animals. Durable pieces.』
