Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Fun starter kit!) 『I received this kit over a month ago. I followed the directions pretty closely, although I wouldn't call myself a green thumb. Everything sprouted but about half of the seedlings didn't make it in the long run. Certain plants seem more hardy: cilantro, mint, oregano, chives and basil all have since been transplanted and are doing well. This is a great, easy way to start herbs from seed and the tray is reusable. It also comes with more of the starter "pods" than will actually fit in the tray, so you can always try a second batch later after you have transplanted the first batch to larger containers.』
(As advertised) 『The kit arrived VERY quickly, and I got planting right away. The little peat pellets are a very clever way to start seedlings. I'll be using them more in the spring to start my regular garden. The instructions vary for each different type of seed, and most of my seeds sprouted quickly. There was one that didn't come up, but there is plenty of additional starter pellets and seed to do a second, and maybe even a third planting, so no worries. The little seedlings are growing every day! It's pretty fun ;-)』
(Very Cool Kit) 『The instructions are very thorough! Very cool kit, especially for the price. My first seeds are starting to sprout! Basil came up first. Can't wait to start cooking!』
(Great in theory but...) 『...it's really difficult to put this set together. I thought it would be similar to the chia herb garden. Or, a bit more upper level.
First, you have to soak the seeds. Have you ever tried getting tiny, tiny seeds out of water and then to try burying them in small "go go gadget" growing pellets?
It's hard. I am not dumb but felt that way in trying to get this together. I just hope I did it right and that my plants grow! We'll find out in 3 weeks!』

(**ITS CHEAPER ELSEWHERE**) 『I bought this for my son when he was 2 in Walmart for $15. Its a great, very realistic play toy, my son had lots of fun with it. It was a great buy at $15 but the $60 you would have to shell out for it here is just NOT WORTH IT. Shop around in your local stores - you'll get it cheaper.』
(Here's the "Dirt" on the Dirt Devil!!) 『This is the second Dirt Devil we have purchased and the toy is GREAT fun for a 2 year old who likes to pretend to be helping out at home. Unfortunately the first one broke fairly soon after it was given, and because it was such a fun toy,we bought a second one as a birthday gift. The second one we bought, broke as soon as it was played with (the on-off button). We may have just had bad luck, but wish it were a more durable toy.』
(Fairly disappointing) 『I bought this item because it had a brand name on it and it looked more like a real vacuum than other items. But just because it says Dirt Devil doesn't mean it has 1/2 the quality of a real Dirt Devil. This broke after 2 months of basic toddler play. The part that says "dirt devil" popped off, exposing things toddlers should not touch. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Instead I would recommend spending a little more money for a better product.』
(GOTTA BE A MISPRINT!!!!) 『If you are looking at this toy, STOP and do NOT buy it for this price! Almost 60 bucks has GOT to be a misprint!!! I got this toy vacuum for around 10 bucks, and that's about what it's worth. Cute, serves it's play purpose well, but no WAY it should be priced anything over $15 at the MOST! Shop around before you buy it here!!!!』 『Little tykes who like to play pretend can clean the floors with this scaled-down Dirt Devil vacuum. Standing 28 inches tall, it's a lightweight plastic vacuum cleaner with a pivoting handle and wheels that glide across any smooth surface. Push a button and the base lights up, while the motor kicks in to make a revving sound.

Perhaps unknown to many on this side of the Atlantic until Scotland's Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent introduced her own amazing voice by saying she aspired to a career like Elaine's, this album is a great way to get acquainted with Elaine's talent. I've also ordered Susan Boyle's debut album I Dreamed A Dream and salute Nana Mouskouri The Romance of Nana Mouskouri as another world diva whose amazing voice and multi-lingual song stylings deserve a fan base here in the U.S. Sweet Memories is a wonderful addition to any music library.』

As always Elaine delivers a five star performance. If you plan to buy only one Elaine Paige CD, this is the one to buy!』

While the value added items of an "enhanced CD" may be important to some people I found it to be a pain. I was forced to Rip the songs, losing quality in the process, to another format to save them to my computer so that I could use the CD in my car. I wish this album had been released in both the enhanced and the regular format. I gave it five stars because of the incredible songs on the album. If I were asked about the "enhanced CD" experience I would have only given it a rating of two stars.』
(Different but excellent) 『It took quite a few listens for me to like it when I first bought it. I was initially disappointed but grew to love it even more than the others. Now, years later, it's my favorite. I'm older now and it strikes more of a chord with me. Who knows, maturity? Great!』

(Beautiful) 『I am a long time Sarah fan this CD ranks up with the best her work. She is at her melancholy and introspective best in this CD singing about her worries, fears and failures. Her voice is beautiful and the composition is great on this disc. Highlights for me are "Fallen", "World on Fire", "Train Wreck", "Push" and "Time". "Push" is a beautiful love song and it's sad to hear that her marriage recently broke up as I can only assume she wrote this song about her husband. I love this CD and recommend it if you are at all a fan.』
(Slightly Disappointing...but redeemable.) 『I have always loved SM, but this CD did not offer me anything new, with the exception of 'Answer'. This one song makes the CD somewhat redeemable. I like the rest of the CD okay, but it's not one that's going to be in the CD rotation of favorites.』 『Is Sarah McLachlan a secret punk rocker? To be sure, her rebellion is hushed. OnAfterglow, her first studio album since 1997'sSurfacing, McLachlan's music is as tempered as ever; at times even the piano chords at the heart of the sound are tucked neatly beneath layer upon layer of strings and overdubbed voices. Listen to what's being sung within this soothing aural bed, though, and hear the just-before-sleep murmurings of the quietest riot grrl: "I'm a train wreck waiting to happen.... a wildfire born of frustration," "How stupid could I be.... you're no good for me, but you're the only one I see," "I have to push just to see how far you'll go." The latter song ("Push") resolves itself with the assurance, "You complete me." Ultimately, McLachlan fans will be comforted again by what turns out to be her reliably untroubled aesthetic.--Rickey Wright』 『"Afterglow" features all new songs including: "Fallen", "Stupid", "World on Fire", "Drifting", "Answer", "Trainwreck", "Perfect Girl", "Time", and "Push".』 『Limited edition reissue of the singer/songwriter's hot 2003 album includes a bonus live EP with four tracks, 'Fallen', 'Answer', 'Dirty Little Secret',&'Building A Mystery'.

A number of the tracks are just a little too "creative." The track with Chris Cornell doing "Hungerstrike" might make the 8 track CD worth the price.』
(Songs from the underground EP) 『This is really good stuff from Linkin Park. Though I already had a few of these songs in my collection, I really appreciate the selection and the composition of the 8-song e.p..This music is as cool and slick as anything from Linkin Park yet.』
(Best release since Hybrid Theory.) 『I'm what one might call a closet Linkin Park fan. I loved Hybrid Theory for years, liked Meteora all right for a while, and haven't even bothered picking up Minutes to Midnight after I listened to a friend's copy and didn't think much of it.
Then comes Songs from the Underground. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting much when I bought this, but I was clinging to the hope that some of the older demo tracks might be good.
They're more than good. "Qwerty" is possibly the most aggressive song ever written by Linkin Park, the two live tracks are outstanding, and (I kid you not) Chester lays down some Layne Staley-style vocals on "Part of Me."
The only negative thing I can say about this EP is that the instrumental track "Sold My Soul to Yo Mama" is pretty boring. I prefer the hidden instrumental at the end of "Part of Me" to this track.
Please, Linkin Park, revert to your old ways and give us more songs like "Qwerty" and "And One." Great EP, pick it up pronto.』

Each story (there are 5 short ones, total less than 30 minutes)is preceded by a gentle song, and the vignettes are sweet and calm. Spot has fun with his parents, his friends, his toys, in the garden, and at storytime. Lots of examples of consideration for others and a nice attitude toward one's parents, presented quietly to make this a great bedtime or naptime prelude.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Excellent movie - Help it get to DVD!) 『Sweet Hostage first aired in 1975 as a TV movie. Sheen's energetic, lyrical performance captured the imagination of a bookish 12 year old who had a few things in common with Linda Blair's lonely tomboy, Doris Mae. The movie engendered in me a life long love of the well spoken word, a fondness for the poetry Blake and Coleridge, and a terrific crush on Martin Sheen.
There are plenty of other reviews here which tell you more about the quality of this touching movie - read them. And if you think you'd like to see Sweet Hostage (which is notoriously hard to find on VHS and doesn't seem to exist legitimately on DVD) or like me you just need to own a copy of this movie so you can watch it again and again; You can vote cast your vote on the TMC website to have Sweet Hostage transferred to DVD. If enough people vote; perhaps next time a fan does a search on "Linda Blair", or "Martin Sheen" Amazon will direct us right to the DVD offering for "Sweet Hostage "

(Welcome to Xanadu, Christabel) 『Here's an example of the small art film that used to be made for TV. Thoughtful&moving, it's a reminder of a time when madness was a symbol for freedom&imagination, rather than serial killing&other horrors. No, it's not completely "realistic" -- but that complaint is utterly beside the point. It's about breaking free of the everyday world, stepping outside the social roles imposed on us, and realizing more of our potential. It's also a tender love story, one that certainly wouldn't be allowed on TV today! Martin Sheen is excellent, as might be expected, but Linda Blair holds her own with him. It's a shame she didn't get more roles like this one; her acting career might have been very different. And if the story gets a touch too precious at times, that's forgivable. I'd much rather see a film take that risk, instead of simply playing it safe.
Like previous reviewers, I'd love to see this released on DVD, preferably with commentary by both Sheen&Blair. Until then, cherish that fragile VHS tape! You won't see a story like this one being made today, and more's the pity. Recommended for anyone with a dreamer's heart&imagination.』

Does anyone remember "Sarah T: Portrait of a teenage alcholic" she made around the same time aired on television, also starring Mark Hammill? I loved that movie as well. I guess Born Innocent is the only one available on DVD because of the controversial scene that caused such a stir back in the early 70's.』

Seriously folks, don't buy anything put out by this company, Jef Films, they've been stealing films left and right, including several well-known titles, and are simply killing any potential sales of the titles to legitimate companies who will treat the films right. I am appalled that this currently (at the time of this writing) is ranked at #7,846 on the Amazon DVD charts, which means in terms of this niche market it's a success. Shame on all of you who bought this disc when you could have just burned your VHS tape to a DVD-R for $2 and still helped ensure that the film will be treated properly in the future!! Any DVD release put out by Jef Films, Televista, New Star, etc. is a BOOTLEG!!!!』
(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.』

"High Drama" is more like it, and there are clear implications for morality and ethical thought. It was regarded as quite daring and sexually tinged for its time.
Nonetheless, the "Negroes" in this film are portrayed in a dated and stereotyped way, while other ethnic slurs abound. I believe this material is of historical value rather than a deliberate attempt to denigrate others. In any case, anything by Tennessee Williams is guaranteed to be frightening, ourageous and entertaining. Recommended.』
(I was lucky) 『I was lucky to see this at age 15, the day it opened at the Lindsey Theater in Lubbock, Texas. My date's name was Darlene and this was the only time I paid more attention to the movie than to her. The Baptists had the film taken down the next day, but my ideas about female beauty were set for many years to come. At the end we realize that Baby Doll...well I shouldn't say because it's a spoiler for some.』
("BABY DOLL" IS A FAVORITE OF MINE) 『When this was first released, I was working in a theater that played it. It was controversial, to say the least. Really mild by today's standards. It was also condemned by the Catholic Church, which made it a "must see" film. Carroll Baker was known for her role in "GIANT." The late Karl Malden and co-star Eli Wallach are great. It is a campy film showing the deep south in early America. Very entertaining, even in black&white. I wish it was in widescreen, but it isn't. Elia Kazan (East of Eden) directed it.』
(tennessee williams,classic movies dvd box set) 『This box set is a very good collection of classic films at a very reasonable price. I highly recommed this set.』
(baby doll) 『this is a ok dvd of the movie baby doll i thought the moive was ok if you are into the old time movies then check this movie out hope this helps.』 『An earlier Elia Kazan film, the 1949Pinky, now seems dated because its "scandalous" subject, miscegenation, has become a social nonissue. If anything, the reputation of this legendary 1956 romp about a child bride in the Deep South has shifted the other way; the ripe image of Carol Baker as a mentally challenged nymphet who sucks her thumb as she lures grown men into her crib (an actual crib!) would probably be hounded off the screen today. When it was originally released the film won a "condemned" rating from the Catholic Legion of Decency, but it isn't as explicit as that might suggest. Current audiences are likely to be shocked not by what's actually shown, but by the mere fact that the movie is a comedy, in effect a sex farce, adapted by Tennessee Williams from a couple of his raunchier one-act plays. Karl Malden is the divine cream puff's sad-sack husband, who has agreed to keep hands off until she turns 19; Eli Wallach is a high-stepping rival in the cotton business who harbors no such scruples.--David Chute』 『A much-needed DVD tribute to one of the essential American playwrights,The Tennessee Williams Collectiongathers six Williams titles and one vintage documentary. Taken together, it's a potent introduction to the specific terrain (geographical and emotional) of this brilliant writer. The set is anchored by Warner's deluxe two-disc treatment ofA Streetcar Named Desire, which has copious extras (among them a fine 90-minute documentary about director Elia Kazan). The multi-Oscar-winningStreetcaris one of the better stage adaptations in film history, and it captures the electrifying Marlon Brando, re-creating his stage role, in the part that changed American acting: the brutish New Orleans sensualist Stanley Kowalski. Vivien Leigh won an Oscar opposite him, as the faded (except in her own mind) Southern belle Blanche DuBois, whose arrival in the Kowalski home leads to disaster.
Kazan also directedBaby Doll, which Williams scripted from a couple of one-act plays. This outrageous sex comedy casts the excellent Carroll Baker as the 19-year-old wife of middle-aged Karl Malden, who anxiously awaits the day he can finally consummate his maddening marriage; immigrant cotton magnate Eli Wallach shows up at Malden's crumbling plantation house just in time to take the bloom off the rose, as it were. Famous for being condemned in 1956,Baby Dollremains a very modern (and gloriously dirty) movie.Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, directed by Richard Brooks, faithfully brings three of Williams's indelible characters to the screen, even if the script discreetly changes the original stage text: the hot Maggie the Cat (Elizabeth Taylor), her reluctant husband Brick (Paul Newman), and Brick's rich Big Daddy (Burl Ives). All three performers act the lights out.
Sweet Bird of Youthreunites Paul Newman with director Brooks, and also showcases Geraldine Page's performance as an aging film star tagging along with young stud Newman to his Southern home town. Some of Williams' more depraved touches are toned down, but the milieu is unmistakable and the movie is intense.The Night of the Iguanagives Richard Burton perhaps his finest hour onscreen: as Williams' dissolute defrocked priest, playing tour guide in Puerto Vallarta to tour groups of nattering biddies. The movie has director John Huston's sympathy for life's losers, as well as a trio of women built to torment Burton's reverend: Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, and Sue Lyon.The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, based on Williams's novel, is not a great movie, but gives Vivien Leigh a good workout as a wounded actress dallying with Italian gigolo Warren Beatty.
Tennessee Williams' Southis a 1973 documentary featuring some marvelous observations from Williams, as he holds court for filmmaker Harry Rasky. It also has long scenes from his plays, enacted by good folks such as Maureen Stapleton, Colleen Dewhurst, and Burl Ives. Especially valuable is aStreetcarsequence with Jessica Tandy re-creating her original role as Blanche. Williams himself reads the narration fromThe Glass Menagerie, a privileged moment. This is not an exhaustive Williams set (Joseph Mankiewicz'sSuddenly, Last Summerand Sidney Lumet'sThe Fugitive Kindare among the best Williams films), but it maps out the steamy, tortured landscape awfully well.--Robert Horton』

(Awesome!) 『Anyone who is a die hard Married with Children fan definitely has to get this :)』
(Comedy must have) 『I know of no person who isn't amused by the Bundy family. Great addition to the DVD collection』 『WhenMarried... with Childrendebuted on Fox TV on April 5, 1987 (followed byThe Tracey Ullman Showa half-hour later), the grungy sitcom became an instant flagship for Rupert Murdoch's upstart network. The program's much-publicized working title,Not the Cosbys(a dismissive reference to the cheerful vitality of Bill Cosby's hugely popular television clan on NBC'sThe Cosby Show) was a dead giveaway.Married... with Childrenwas going to be a trashier, raunchier, and far more cynical view of the American nuclear family. But it turned out the series actually fell into other caustic-domestic entertainment traditions, notably the Don Ameche and Frances Langford radio comedy series from the 1940s,The Bickersons, and Jackie Gleason's TV classic,The Honeymooners.
The jokes were savage, key relationships were marked by ennui and indifference, and the Bundy family name couldn't help but make one think of America's most notorious, real-life serial killer at the time. Yet the show had a hint of Golden Age Hollywood gloss, a retro-screwball feel that one could detect in the snappy verbal warfare between husband Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) and wife Peggy (Katey Sagal). The characters, and the show, eschewed sentimentality, which certainly opened the floodgates to comic cynicism but also kept a door ajar for moments of genuine sweetness. A decade later, however, by the time Fox cancelled the increasingly expensive series,Married... with Children's first-season tone would be considerably different, replaced by a stronger reliance on running jokes and character stereotypes, particularly concerning Bundy children Kelly (Christina Applegate) and Bud (David Faustino).
That evolution makes watchingMarried... with Children's first 13 episodes, once again, quite instructive. Those programs are all on this two-disc set, including the startling pilot, in which Al and Peggy lock horns over marital politics and enlist naive new neighbors Steve (David Garrison) and Marcy (Amanda Bearse) in a battle of the sexes. There's also the classic "Whose Room Is It, Anyway," concerning the Bundys' competition to connive Steve and Marcy into building a recreation room, and "Thinnergy," a very funny piece about a diet that supposedly boosts sexual interest.--Tom Keogh』

(Superb collection) 『These are really good examples of Film Noir, and they look luminous on a plasma screen. Loved the cameo by a very young Marilyn Monroe in the Asphalt Jungle. If you want hard bitten dialogue and femmes fatale, then this is your collection!』
(Film noir) 『To date, I have watched two of the included movies, Out of the Past and Murder My Sweet. I had never before seen them, and they were thoroughly enjoyable. Watched them again with the commentary, which added much timely information, such as background of supporting actors, lighting for mood, camera angle, progress of the main actors' careers, etc.』
(Film Noir Classics) 『Anyone that has ever watched a Rockford Files episode, seen a Police Story or Hill Street Blues or has not seen any of these classics ...really needs to. Robert Mitchum, Sterling Hayden and the Dick Powell really will amaze ....with their great performances. Bittersweet Revenge at its best! No one goes home happy in this group!
Marilyn Monroe's 1949 introduction in her second film with a speaking role is awesome! Worth the entire price of the whole collection. If you wondered where all the great scripts for modern cop movies and cop shows came from ......no look further. Five Stars... 』
(Film Fatale) 『Worth the price for the "Asphalt Jungle" alone. Films that have a beginning, middle and end -- lawd be praised. Filled with sentient suspense, devilish dialogue, perspicacious plotting, awesome acting, and passion -- lots of purple passion. Made to entertain, not enlighten (not at least on the surface). A great first collection if you've never experienced Film Noir. A great collection even if you have. Pop some corn. Invite some friends. Close the curtains. Douse the lights. And watch. You'l have a memorable occasion.』 『Some boxed sets claim to be definitive, but are haphazardly selected. Not this one. Four of the five titles here can legitimately lay claim to being essentials in the film noir canon, and the fifth,The Set-Up, is a terrific boxing picture with a strong noir atmosphere. If you're a fan of noir--or have no idea what it's all about--this collection is a treat.
Of course, none of these movies were made as "film noir." The term was coined later by French critics to describe the moody, anxious feel of postwar American movies, especially the genre that highlighted duplicitous dames and susceptible men lost in the criminal jungle. Indeed, the titleThe Asphalt Jungleconveys the edgy urban arena of these pictures. That film is John Huston's masterly 1950 account of a heist, with Sterling Hayden the disenchanted, noirish hero. Joseph H. Lewis'sGun Crazy(1949) is one of the most supercharged (and sexually perverse) of noir films, with John Dall and Peggy Cummins as young criminals in love.Murder, My Sweet(1944) is a straight adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novelFarewell, My Lovely. Amid the film's shadowy chiaroscuro, former musical comedy star Dick Powell makes a career-changing transition as Chandler's private dick, Philip Marlowe.Out of the Pastputs Robert Mitchum (perhaps the quintessential noir actor) in trouble with gangster Kirk Douglas, complicated by classic femme fatale Jane Greer. Jacques Tourneur provides the evocative direction. AndThe Set-Upplays out an ingenious boxing tale in "real time," superbly enacted by (former boxer) Robert Ryan.--Robert Horton』
『Asphalt Jungle (1950)- You have a lot of time to think when you're locked away seven years. So criminal mastermind Doc conceives what he believes is the perfect heist. John Huston explores the feverish grab for the big score and how it unravels in The Asphalt Jungle a renowned tale of dishonor among thieves whose cast includes. Gun Crazy (1949) - When gun fancier Bart Tare sees Annie Laurie Starr's sideshow sharpshooting act he's a dead-bang goner. The two become bank robbers on the run eluding roadblocks and roaring into movie history as one of the benchmark film-noir works. Murder My Sweet (1944)- They say crime doesn't pay. Private detective Philip Marlowe knows better. The fat wad of folding moneywarming his pocket is the kind of thing that keeps him going through thick and thicker as he wades chin deep into a mystery involving a missing necklace and a missing hoodlum's moll named Velma. Murder My Sweet is film at its most noir creating a moody sense moody sense of a world that never plays on the level. Out of the Past (1947)-Everything you want in a film noir you'll find in Out of the Past. A tenacious detective (Robert Mitchum) spinning his wheels to make good. A drop-dead beauty (Jane Greer) up to no good. A moneyed mobster (Kirk Douglas) with a shark's grin. Plus double-crosses and fall guys. Shadowy rooms and bleak souls. The Set-Up (1949)- Boxing Wednesdays. Wrestling on Fridays. Stoker Thompson is on Paradise City's Wednesday card fighting after the main event. He's been 20 years in the game and is sure he's just one punch away from big paydays. But there's one thing Stoker doesn't yet know: his manager wants him to take a dive tonight.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSIC UPC: 085393981228』

Splenda
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Splenda tabs are splendid) 『I carry my splenda tabs in my purse and add them to my coffee whenever I am out and about or even in a restaurant...also add to iced tea when needed. Not available in stores around my town, so am thankful they were available at amazon.com』
(PLENTY OF SPENDA ALL OF THE TIME!) 『I love Splenda and this is the perfect way to carry it. Hot or cold it makes my drinks sweet. Thanks Splenda for the great idea.』
(Splenda Tabs) 『Great for the glove compartment if you go out to eat. I prefer Splenda in my tea but not that many restaurants offer it.』
(Very convenient way to carry Splenda for those restaurants that still don't.) 『These little dispensers are great. They fit in pocket, messenger bag, briefcase or purse easier and without taking up much room. A push of a button plops a tiny Splenda tablet into your beverage. They're great for those restaurants that still don't carry the best sweetener ever made or for visiting friends who don't need or think to keep on hand a sweetener other than sugar. Grrrr.』
(Healthier than the packets!) 『Despite Splenda's "no Calorie" claim for its packets -- it is not true but still legal for them to say so (shame on the FDA) because the packets are "less than" 5! calories.
And where do those 5 calories come from? Sugar!
Specifically, dextrose and maltodextrin -- in that order -- sucralose is last-- the product that makes Splenda a low calorie sweetener. The packets are 95% sugar.
Dextrose is one main component of actual sugar (a product that many body-builders consume after a weight work-out to restore their glycogen stores); Maltodextrin is sugar made from starch such as corn, wheat or potato. (The wheat version can be dangerous for coeliacs.)
Splenda puts Dextrose and Maltodextrin in the Splenda packs to give it bulk. The sucralose is so minuscule people would have a hard time dealing with it.
But now there is the Splenda minis -- tiny little tablets with the same amount of sucralose and tiny amounts of lactose -- another sugar.
Far superior, in my mind.
I realize that many people feel that any artificial sweetener is dangerous and I respect that. Personally, I go organic with just about everything I eat -- but my issues with sugar are sufficiently problematic that for me, it justifies using this one non-natural ingredient.
Sucralose (the sweetener in Splenda) is different from Aspartame (Equal ) or Saccharin (Sweet n' Low) (Both products also use Dextrose and maltodextrin for bulk in their packets.)
Whereas both Saccharin and Aspartame are chemical creations -- Sucralose is actually sugar with some of its hydrogen atoms replaced with chlorine atoms so the body can't absorb it and it just passes through. That's why it tastes so much like sugar -- it is essentially sugar chemically modified.
There is no persuasive evidence yet of sucralose being harmful to humans without consuming massive quantities-- but honestly, sugar is such a problem for me and sugar has its own dangerous health risks that I was willing to use Equal even with the known health risks. I was happy when Splenda arrived.
It is nigh unto impossible to find the ingredients in the packets of Splenda on its own site -- which shows how hard they are working to disguise the fact that their packets are 95% sugar.
However you will find the information buried in their FAQ.
From their website: "Why are the ingredients maltodextrin and dextrose in SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Products?
"Sucralose, the no-calorie sweetening ingredient in SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, is about 600 times sweeter than sugar. Like other tabletop sweeteners, the granulated and packet products contain small amounts of carbohydrate (less than 1 gram per serving) for consistent sweetening and to provide volume. These bulking ingredients are dextrose (packets) and maltodextrin (packets and granulated). However, the bulking agents provide so few calories per serving that the FDA allows the SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Products to be called no-calorie sweeteners, because they provide less than five calories per serving."
For shame on the FDA -- allowing companies to bury such information and not be forced to disclose in a clear and unobscured fashion. The FDA has weird criteria for making its decisions. I could go on with quite a list of what I consider ill-thought-out decisions that the FDA has made over the last 40 years.

(Excellent crepe overview) 『I opened the book, and made excellent crepes right away, within minutes. Can't do much better than that!』 『Foodies may declare crêpes "in" or "out," but they are a welcome treat for most of us. Lou Seibert Pappas explains that "crêpe" is the French word for pancake, and that the dish originated in Brittany, in northwestern France. Until about 100 years ago, all crêpes were made from buckwheat flour. Pappas departs from that tradition by providing 15 recipes for different kinds of crêpes. Eleven are savory, including ones made with whole wheat flour, with minced herbs, and with chickpea flour, while four are sweetened to use in making desserts. Photos accompanying Pappas's meticulous directions illustrate how to turn out light, delicate crêpes and how to fold them around fillings in 11 ways. She also explains what to do about problems such as small holes or cracking edges.
Crêpesalso offers novel ways of serving the pancakes, such as the Party Stack with Pesto Fillings; Salad Basket Crêpes with Grapes, Blue Cheese, and Hazelnuts; and Chicken, Corn, and Red Pepper Crêpes. In addition, you will find Wild Mushroom Crêpes and other classics. Cannelloni and Cheese Blintzes are reminders that crêpes are more than a French favorite.--Dana Jacobi』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A good mini-desserts guide) 『Not long ago I purchased the book "Bite-size desserts". When I was recently asked to make desserts for a fundraiser for a non-profit organization (I do the baking for free and only get reimbursed for the ingredients) I decided to use recipes from this book because I needed to make small desserts. I planned 7 desserts for about 100 people (a 2 day baking marathon in my small home kitchen) and selected 5 of the recipes from Carole's book: Sour Cream Cupcakes, Lemon Tartlets, Madeleines, Filo Triangles, and Cardamom Butter Cookies. I made few adjustments to some of the recipes (for example the filo triangles I filled only with a tiny scoop of Nutella, in the cupcakes I replaced the cinnamon with vanilla, Madeleines I made with finally chopped crystallized ginger and in the lemon tartlets I replaced the meringue with fresh blueberries because of transporting logistics), but in general I followed all the instructions in the recipes.
The desserts were a huge hit and I want to complement Carole on her book. I found the sections on "'keeping" and "making a change" very useful too. I liked the overall selection of the recipes in the book and will certainly try to make many more.
There was only a slight issue for me with listing all the ingredients in one list and not separating them into a list for a dough or batter and for a topping or frosting. Couple times I put the whole amount (of sugar for instance) in the batter or dough and later as I was following the steps did I realize my mistake. Luckily I tested the recipes in small batches before I made a bigger amount. Once I figured the organization of the ingredients I carefully read each recipe before making it (which should always be done anyway) and noted on the margins the correct amounts. But this issue still did not detract from the overall value of the book.
Carole's book will be on my Christmas shopping list for all my friends who share my passion of baking.
Thanks for a great book.

Most recipes use a limited number of ingredients, and ingredients which are widely available -- for instance, she uses dried coconut instead of fresh baby coconut meat. The equipment is also simpler. She makes ice cream without an ice cream maker. Many recipes use a personal blender instead of a high speed blender. There is a dehydrator section but it is limited. Almost every recipe is illustrated with a beautiful color photograph. I could see myself making just about anything in the book, and the recipes I have tried have been delicious. I have really been surprised by how useful this little cookbook has been.』

Everything is delicious and only a few ingredients. I just love her books! It have ever dessert I can think of--even banana nut bread "biscuits". The only ingredient that I can't find is lecithin powder for the cheesecake, it's not an absolutely necessary ingredient (a little oil will do the trick).』

Well, maybe if you are under 12 and want to be an interior designer someday it might be interesting enough. The game play is very easy with basic graphics that look like something from 10 years ago. Three cartoonish characters help you "build" your design. All you have to do is choose pre-existing furnishings within a budget according to your clients desires. That isn't too difficult when there are only three style choices to begin with: Asian, Country and Retro. Once you have added a few items to the room, which is just two walls, by the way, you then "build" the design. Three workers do it all for you. You just click each one then have them build a lamp or whatever. They get tired and you give them coffee, then need a tool, you get it, etc. Not exactly rocket science. And, who needs a level to build a lamp? As I said, it is probably good enough for preteens, but even they will quickly tire of the uninspired graphics.

Because this fleece is stretchy, it moves with her whether she plays on the jungle gym or layers it under her ski shell. This fleece jacket is water-resistant, so she'll stay comfortable in light precipitation.

』 『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.
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Adidas Crazy 1) 『Agreeing with the other 2 fellow reviews of these shoes in that I've also found them to be very comfortable.
Sure there's probably lighter shoes for basketball out now, but comfort is a priority to me in playing basketball and these shoes satisfy.』
(little snug) 『The shoes fit a little snug around heel and top of foot but other than that it feels great.』
(Very comfortable) 『If you care about comfort these are the shoes for you. They stick well in the gym and are built with quality. Not as light as the new basketball shoes, but COMFY.』 『Adidas Crazy 1, the remake of one of Kobe Bryant's best selling signature shoes "The Kobe" which he wore when he helped the Los Angeles Lakers won its secons straight NBA Championship』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bicycle trailer) 『I bought this bicycle trailer for my small puppy so that when we go camping and bike riding he can come along. We just love it. Its easy to hook up, folds down to almost nothing, and my puppy enjoys riding in it. I would recomend this to anyone with samll pets or small childre. Its a great purchase.』
(Bike Trailer) 『I recently ordered this trailer so that we can take our twin boys with us when we exercise. This is a fantastic little trailer. It is easy to use and light so there is not a lot of drag when you pull it. Plus it folds into a convenient size for storage when not in use. The boys love it and so do I!!』
(Not a bad trailer for beginner) 『Overall it's a good trailer, seems sturdy. I didn't have much problem setting it up. It's the first trailer I ever got so I wasn't sure where it should go. My kids enjoyed it. The seats where they sit on could be a made with some kind of cushion so it will be comforter to sit on. I do like the fact that you can fold and put it in the trunk. Wish I can do that with my $60 bike.』
(Great buy, great trailer.) 『I really like this bike trailer. I got it on sale and was a great purchase. It's a lot better and easier pulling my son in the trailer than on the seat attached to my bike. I would recommend this trailer.』
(This worked out great for my Grandson camping!) 『I got this as a surprise to bring camping. My grandson was 14 months old, and wasn't sure what was going on at first. He enjoyed riding around the campsites...but they road around in the backyard first to get him used to it. It holds a lot of items to bring, and he was very comfortable in it, the windows were perfect for him to see us riding next to him! It's a really nice color, and easy for cars to see. It's light weight, and my daughter-in-law had no problems riding him around... and she doesn't ride that often herself.
I did sew a bag to put it in for carrying it around, and storing it. Helps protect the plastic - and made handles to hang it in the garage.
I got some great pictures!!
