Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Beautiful chart) 『My daughter loves checking her height quite often. She won't leave the stickers on so we have to write on the chart. It is beautiful, colorful, and useful.』
(I love it!) 『We had been marking my daughter's height on the wall of her bedroom, but then we moved so I decided it would be better to have a growth chart that we can bring with us. It's very cute and comes with stickers for their birthdays. My daughter enjoyed putting the "I'm 3 today!" sticker up on her 3rd birthday. It folds which is helpful for storing. It is also nice and thick so it seems durable. The only problem I can see is that you can't really mark a height on the fabric area (It is made up of 3 sections of cardboard held together with a fabric so it can fold in 3 very easily). It wasn't a problem for us, though. Overall, it's a very good product.』
(Super cute, durable and exactly what I wanted.) 『This is so cute. It's very durable and well cute. I'm glad I purchased it. We didn't use the stickers that came with it as I didn't want to take away from the board so now my daughter has some very cute fairy stickers! Overall I'm pleased as punch with this product! Great gift idea too!』 『Beautifully illustrated, this heavily laminated chart folds up and fits inside a sturdy gift box. The chart comes with stickers for marking birthdays and other important information.』

However, I will be traveling more without my baby so I needed an alternative that will make life easy for my husband when he's home with our pet. I went online and did extensive research on canned petfood that is natural and if possible human-grade. After learning that Dogswell use cage/hormone-free poultry in addition to the positive reviews from customers, I took a chance and ordered the 12-pack of the chicken and sweet potato formula. I am more than thrilled I gave it a try. I was impressed with the large chunks of meat and veggies mixed with gravy. Very gourmet quality. If I wasn't vegetarian, I would have tried it myself! If our dog wasn't already spoiled! It's comforting knowing our baby will eat well when I'm away since my husband won't be cooking anything :)』

But unlike Shaw, who put away his clarinet for the final four decades of his life, Goodman kept playing, right up to the few months preceding his death at the age of 77. Not only is much of his later work represented on commercial recordings, but his playing from the 1920s--with Ted Pollard and other groups as well as his own--is also available. Moreover, the Yale Archives is at this moment making available many of the heretofore unreleased recordings from his private collection (it's high time, considering we are well into the centenary of the King of Swing, b. 1909).
The point is that most of these "essential," "indispensable," "ultimate" single-disc collections do Benny somewhat of an injustice by the impossibility of representing the sheer prolific and comprehensive genius of the man. To my mind, the buyer would do better by picking up the Complete Carnegie Hall Concert from 1938 (unquestionably the most historic concert event in the history of jazz and American music for several reasons; in fact, it easily rivals in substance and iconography the celebrated concerts by Marion Anderson). For a second album, try to pick up a copy of "B. G. in Hi Fi" from the mid-fifties. It was little short of miraculous that the entire 1938 concert was recorded a full seven years before recording tape (or wire) had been introduced into the U.S., and it would be Benny who, beginning in the 1950s, was among the first instrumentalists to exploit and popularize the 33-rpm long-playing record format.
As for the irresistible, always engaging Goodman-Shaw comparisons, Shaw holds the record for the number of big bands (5) and wives (I lost count), and his version of "Stardust" beats Benny's. Shaw, moreover, was at once a better showman and "potential" modernist--he evidenced an ear for bebop, as played by Bird and Diz, and began to move in that direction before abruptly abandoning his instrument (and music). On Benny's behalf, he was the more flexible and adaptable musician, able to move from a pure-toned player of the classical repertory to a meditative balladeer ("Goodbye," "Moonglow," "Memories of You") to fast and intricate "chamber jazz" to the hot, sizzling, raw style of playing that had made its way up from New Orleans to his native Chicago. Listen closely to him, or watch videos of him when he gets his groove on, practically oblivious to the crowd. Even the "burr," or raspy effect, in his tone is not unlike hearing early great New Orleans clarinetists like Johnny Dodds, Jimmy Noone, Sidney Bechet, and Edmund Hall. (Despite the apparent professorial reserve, Benny frequently played with unmitigated, contagious heat and passion.)
It's unfortunate that Benny--even more than once-towering giants like Crosby and Armstrong--seems to be slipping so alarmingly fast from public memory.』
(Big Band) 『I had given one of my Benny Goodman CD's away to a clarinet player and was desperately searching for a CD to replace it. This has all of the songs that many enjoyed during the Big Band era. It has the song "Sing, Sing, Sing" with drummer Gene Krupa, it also has many others and is the best CD for the price. Benny Goodman was one of the best of the best during this era. If you enjoy Big Band you will love this CD.』
(Falls Short Of The Glory) 『I must warn you up front: tracks 2,10,11,15,16,17 and 18 are ALTERNATE TAKES, not the masters you are probably use to. And it is NOT advertised on the package! So if you know these songs by heart, you will either be pleased to have them or very annoyed. Just to warn you.
The transfers are fine but the song selection is missing a bunch of songs that I would consider essential to a "Very Best" collection of Benny's RCA period. It is just not one without "Don't Be That Way", "Loch Lomond", "Goodnight My Love", "Goodbye", "Down South Camp Meeting", "Changes" and "Body&Soul". I would say go with "Pure Gold" or "Sing, Sing, Sing" instead.』

(Dorsey rules!) 『Everyone thinks of Miller and Goodman when Big Bands are brought up, but the Dorseys ruled. "Opus One" is the best known classic, but by far one the best songs ever from that era is "The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round" it's a classic, funny song, reminding us all of our prejudices and foibles. There is a great humor to Tommy Dorsey, lacking in some of the others, and well worth listening to, to understand another facet of the era of Big Bands.』
(It's Unbelievable How Music Could Be This Good) 『The Dorsey brothers and Glen Miller were the greatest musicians of the World War II era. They kept so much of the public entertained during the war and gave so many Americans (and their allies) hope. Not even Joan Baez and Bob Dillan and their anti-Vietnam War songs are this good. This music is much better than the garbage that people call music today.』
(Tommy Dorsey -Best All Around Dance Band!) 『The Dorsey band could do everything. The hottest Swing and the smoothest ballads and the liveliest pops and novelties. His band was every inch as good as The Miller, Goodman and Shaw bands and at times, even better!
Dorsey had several bands and his pre 1940 band is very different than his band of 1940 - 1946. The '40s band had a more dynamic sound to it, especially in the Swing instrumentals! Plus...all those great vocalists - Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Connie Haines and the Pied Pipers vocal group, not to mention Dick Haymes, Stuart Foster and the great Clark Sisters aka The Sentimentalists.
The recordings on the CD above are a mixture of 'both' of TD's band of the era.
All the sides on the CD are choice and the only reason I have rated the CD 4 stars out of 5 is because my 'personal best' are not all on there!
And with all due respect to the reviewer below, the version of "Opus One" on this CD *is* the original 1944 recording when TD was featuring a big string section in his band. "Inferior"? No such way.
*For more by me on the Dorsey band, click on the link below- http://www.jazzitude.com/bldorseya.htm』
(Great sound quality, superb music) 『So many "greatest hits" compilations miss the mark either in quality or song selection. But this disc lives up to its billing as the "Best" of the Dorsey orchestra. It kicks off with one of the stellar and swingiest tunes of the Big Band era, "Opus Number One" (though this version is inferior to the more famous "single" version). It's hard to listen to this song and not appreciate the brilliant arrangement and musicianship displayed here. Along with Goodman's "Sing, Sing Sing" and Glenn Miller's "In the Mood" this has got to be in the top three of any Big Band all-time greatest list.
It's a pity that Dorsey has been somewhat forgotten today and shoved aside in preference of Benny, Glenn and Artie. Was he as good as those giants? No, but this disc shows that his band could swing, had a phenomenal young vocalist named Sinatra and that Tommy's trombone playing wasn't half bad. This is a must have album for anyone serious about the Big Band era.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A MUST for those who want traditional music of the season) 『Of all Christmas cds I have collected over the years this 2 cd set is a masterpiece! If you love choral music and traditional carols from the days of Charles Dickens this is a joy. No Jingle bell Rock or grandma getting run over by a reindeer. This music is the stillness and peace of Christmas Eve when all the rushing is done and you remember all the joys of Christmas' past. This music will take you there.』
(A vital ingredient to an excellent Christmas carol collection) 『The Best Carols in the World...Ever! is not the only CD needed to build an excellent Christmas carol collection, but it is definitely a key ingredient. My CD shelves are arranged left-to-right in roughly descending order of enjoyment. The Best Carols in the World...Ever! sits on the far left, accompanied by Noel: Christmas at King's, A Traditional Christmas Carol Collection, and Christmas with the Academy.
The album is interesting just for the breadth of carols on it: "Gaudete," "A Virgin Unspotted," "Masters in This Hall," and "Methinks I See an Heav'nly Host" are included along with more standard offerings like "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Once in Royal David's City." And the breadth of carols is highlighted by excellent performances and high-quality recording.
The artists include Mediaeval Baebes, Choir Of King's College Cambridge, and Taverner Choir. These are excellent performers with solid material. And the recording quality is a bonus: I've more than one excellent Christmas album blemished with tape artifacts and other technical flaws. It can be frustrating to hear a gorgeous piece of music touched with a fault that's not from either the music or the performance. This CD is generally free from those flaws.
Really, there is no glaring fault on this album. I can't call it perfect:that would infer no other albums are necessary. But it's really a very excellent recording, at an extremely attractive price. It is an integral piece of my Christmas music collection.』
(52 carols sung by 7 English choirs - brilliant) 『If you love Christmas carols, you will find this to be a real treasure trove. This double-CD is compiled from various Christmas albums recorded by English choirs. Between them, they seem to have included every famous carol and a lot of obscure ones.
The seven choirs are the choir of King's college (Cambridge), the Bach Choir (London), the Clare College singers (Cambridge), the Temple Church choir (London), the Taverners choir, the Midiaevel Baebes and the Huddersfield choral society. A brief history of each is included in the liner notes.
Some of these carols are world famous including Hark the herald angels sing, The first noel, O little town of Bethlehem, Away in a manger, Silent night, Joy to the world, We three kings and O come all ye faithful.
Some others are famous in Britain but (judged on what I've seen of American Christmas albums) are not especially well known in America. These include While shepherds watched, Once in Royal David's city, In the bleak midwinter and The holly and the ivy. I have come across American covers of these songs - but not often.
There are yet other songs which are obscure even to me, but it's great to have them all in one collection. At the import price, it might look expensive, but what would you have to spend to get all these Christmas carols any other way?
If you enjoy Christmas carols, I doubt if you'll find a better collection anywhere, although a modified version of this compilation (Best Christmas Carols...Ever is also available with a different sequence and some different tracks. Really, there's not much to choose between them in quality, so compare the prices and availability and select accordingly.』
(all Christmas,all the Time) 『This two cd offering has almost all my favorites.the classics, not the Rudolph ones. Can't recommend enough.Listen and read Dickens...That's enough Christmas for anyone.』
(Title makes a big claim, but it absolutely delivers...) 『This album provides 2.5 hours of excellent carols, from excellent choirs and soloists, and with great sound. I was worried that a compilation this large, and with such an extravagent title, would be B-side offerings, but that's not the case at all.
This isn't an album if you are looking for something "fresh and new." The arrangements are traditional, and even newer carols are done in a fairly conservative style. But that said, some of the pieces provide the best orchestration and voice arrangement I have ever heard. This is like the pinnacle of the classic English Christmas carol; clean, precise, glorious and celebratory.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Bundyful Christmas Classic) 『Marrried With Children, what a great sitcom and then some! Some people hated this show as a salute to disfunction, BUT there is a lot more truth in their episodes than many people want to aknowledge.
Here we have a Bundy take on "It's A Wonderful Life", it's Christmas eve and with Peggy and kids off to Denny's for their annual Christmas Eve feast, Al has a rare moement of clarity, wishing he could give his family more and thinking that they would be better off without them.
Enter the late Sam Kinison, as the Angel. The Angel shows Al what his family would be like at Christmas without him. We see Peggy, dressed as a Donna Reid clone, baking Christmas cookies, Kelly returns home for the holidays from her studies, dressed in preppy clothing (to put it midly), and not worring about her lack of a sex life. Bud dressed to the nines, plays the ultimate ladies man. Ted McGinley plays their father, and for Christmas he announces he had bought them a new house as the ultimate present. Al's take on this?, he wisely asks, "can you taste the bile".
Happily all was a dream, and when Al wakes up his dejected family returns, unable to have taken in Denny's cuisine as the prices went up.
All is right in Bundyville!

(It's A Bundyful Christmas!) 『This episode of Fox's Married..With Children is a true Christmas classic. It first aired on December 24,1989(not the 17th as stated on tv.com). Steve Rhoades(David Garrison) spends the holidays with his widowed mother. She came to get him via taxicab from her Cincinatti home! So his wife Marcy(Amanda Bearse) spends Christmas alone. Marcy is "getting down" at the Christmas Eve party at the bank where she works as a drive-thru window teller,her demotion from accountant. After patriarch Al Bundy(Ed O'Neill) receives a shock from a faulty live wire from his Christmas light set,he falls asleep and dreams what life would be like if he were dead. In the dream sequence,a guardian angel(the late great Sam Kinison) shows Al what is happening in his wife Peg's(Katey Sagal)(fictitious)second marriage. Peg married a sophisticated man named Norman Jablonski(guest star and future MWC cast member Ted McGinley). Daughter Kelly(Christina Applegate) and son Bud(David Faustino) are college students. Take note of how all four are dressed in 1950's fashions. "I want my family back!",exclaims a desperate Al. Also,at the shoe store where Al works and manages as well,he entertains an army of young children,only for them to be met with disappointment. Their parents pay for them to be babysat and are later refunded. This episode is from Married...With Children-The Complete Fourth Season in two parts. This episode had a special closing montage. Instead of Al and Peg sitting on their living room sofa,we see a night scene of the Bundy house with a snow-covered ground and we hear IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS performed by an unknown ensemble. McGinley, of Happy Days fame,joined MWC in late 1990,playing Jefferson D'Arcy,who would become Marcy's second husband(her marriage to Steve ended in sudden divorce). Another episode similar to this is YOU BETTER WATCH OUT from 1987. In that episode,Santa Claus is found dead in the Bundys' backyard.』
(A MUST SEE!!!) 『EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS FUNNY,FUNNY MOVIE! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT TODAY!!!』
(Everytime A Shoeman Cries, An Angel Gets....) 『This homage - of -sorts to the Jimmy Stewart classic is already a classic of its' type. With a shock to his system, Al awakens to find an angel - his angel, who has been called to help Al decide if his " loved ones " would be better off without him, if he had never been born. With anger, angst and humor, The Angel ( Sam Kinison ) arrives, not without his own issues and proceeds to give Al a look of how life might have been. Peggy somehow became a Leave It To Beaver style mom, complete with apron and french Twist...Bud, a sweater and tie wearing geek who has become almost courtly and Kelly - a plaid skirt and ponytailed Virgin Barbie. Did Peggy Sue get married ? You bet your Bundy she did, but to a handsome man who lifts them all from drudgery and middleclass living to life in a mansion. The lucky husband later was signed to the show as jefferson D'Arcy - also known as Mr Marcy. Here, he is somewhat of a snob, but loving the family. Obviously, Al comes to a few self - realizations and makes the decision of a lifetime. OK, it ain't Shakespeare, but it is a welcome respite from the usual holiday fare.』
(Bundyfully Outrageous) 『I grew up watching Married with Children and was very disappointed when the show ended. I was grateful to watch reruns on late night television until recently time slots changed and I am no longer able to watch. Thus I begun my search to find the series to purchase as many other shows such as Friends and Little House on the Prairie have come out with, but found bitter disappointment in the realization that there are no season's available for purchase. Then in my search I stumbled across this classic episode and purchased it on the spot. It is outrageously funny, the only thing I still could want is the entire series!!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bob Fosse: Dance expresses joy better than anything else.) 『My love and admiration for Federico Fellini/Guiletta Masina's film Nights of Cabiria had stopped me for long time from seeing Sweet Charity, the adaptation of the musical based on the same story which was made into a highly successful Broadway show directed and choreographed by a multitalented Bob Fosse. I am a fan of Bob Fosse. I love all his films, musicals and not, but I was hesitant to see Sweet Charity the movie and I never had a chance to see the Broadway musical. Well, I finally did and I can say that nothing is wrong with transporting the same story to the different time, place, language, medium, and to use the different artistic tools. The story is the same; the films are as different as Rome and NYC or as Federico Fellini and Bob Fosse. Fosse's film should be judged on its own terms, and it has a lot of breathtaking scenes to enjoy, bright colors, outrageously stunning costumes (the work of incredible Edith Head), adorable and unbelievably cute Shirley MacLaine, Sweet Charity Hope Valentine, and the best of all - the dancing sequences to die for. Among them, splendid The Big Spender is perfection and the real treasure. Fosse's staging of the musical numbers is outstanding. The most memorable moment in the movie for me was stolen from Shirley MacLaine by Chita Rivera in Big Spender. Just watch Rivera's seemingly boneless arms, the right one around her head and the left one behind her back, the left hand on her right hip as she sings, "do you want to have fun, fun, fun?" For this moment alone, I like the film even if I see very well that it has some minuses, too. The first act between two intermissions was really good, and it includes the best dancing and singing numbers: "Hey, Big Spender", "The Pompeii Club", "Rich Man's Frug", and "If They Could See Me Now". After the second intermission the movie went over the hill. I believe that it could do without both intermissions. We are not watching the show at the theater, and the intermissions only took time. The "hippiest" "Rhythm of Life" scene was overlong, did not make much sense, and made me want to fast-forward it. I take it that Fosse wanted to experience with the camera movements and different techniques in his very first feature film which was a screen transfer of his Broadway Musical. This is the only explanation of his multiple slow-motions, stills, color/black/white and back changes that did not add anything to the film, just paused it with no apparent reasons. His next screen adaptation was timeless Cabaret, and he had improved his directing style dramatically. As the result, Cabaret has stayed his greatest achievement along with All That Jazz.
Coming back to the original tragic comedy "Nights of Cabiria", of all the characters Fellini had given life on screen, by his own words, Cabiria was the only one he worried about many years after the film was made. Of all the characters, I've seen in films, Cabiria is the one I often think about - whatever happened to her? Did she survive? Was she able to find love? As much as I like Shirley MacLaine/Charity, I did not worry about her future. She lived happily ever after - in both movie endings, theatrical and alternative.

(Sweet Charity) 『I saw the original Broadway musical&went back stage as a kid to get autographs. This is a good rendition, but it is nowhere near what the Orig was. I do recommend this to others, as it is a classic&a fun movie. Gwen Verdon was supreme on Broadray, Shirley MacLaine does her best to replicate her.』
(My mother-in-law loved it!) 『Requested by my mother-in-law she absolutely loved the movie. The songs were outstanding as you would expect from most high class musicals. And last but not least the price and prompt delivery were very much appreciated.』
("The rhythm of life is a powerful beat...") 『I do not want to recreate the wheel regarding reviews, but SWEET CHARITY is a unique and entertaining movie summarized very well by the 5&4 star ratings. I would like to clarify some of the comments stated in the lesser reviews.
First, you have to remember this movie was made in the late 60's. You have to think about the context of the times; movie making was in it's infancy (or at leat toddler-hood), colorization was still new&you did not have computer enhancement&the cameras of today's technology. Then add to it all that Fosse had to deal with.
Second, this movie is based on a Broadway show w/Gwen Verdon in the lead&written by her husband at the time, Bob Fosse. It is always difficult bringing stage to the screen. And w/a star like Gwen Verdon, some of the character traits of SWEET CHARITY were already established. The dancing scenes&choreography of Fosse are one reason alone to acquire this movie for your personal library. Extensive dance scenes, including group dancing numbers, such as "Rich Man's Frug"&"The Rhythm of Life" were novel ideas. The choreography is so avante garde&fresh that THE GAP used parts of "Rich Man's Frug" in it's commerical's. The musical number, "Hey Big Spender" shows the seeds of Fosse's later hit "CABARET. Fosse was a genius and this movie was just the tip ice burg of his unique&creative vision. This movie also provides the opportunity to see a young Ben Vereen before the fame of PIPPIN. In addition, this movie allows one to see what an amazing dancer Shirley MacLaine was.
Third, you just gotta love Shirley MacLaine who's talent stretching from comedic dance musical such as SWEET CHARITY, to Oscar winning dramas such as THE TURNING POINT&TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. SWEET CHARITY is a quirky, silly story that warms you heart&Shirley's performance is memorable. Another quality movie showing a young MacLaine is Alfred Hitchock's WHAT TO DO ABOUT HARRY.
Forth, I didn't notice missing material, but there is additional footage of Sammy Davis Jr.'s performance of "The Rhythm of Life." I saw this move as a teenager, with pretty much the same observations as now. I purchased this DVD so I can watch some of my favorite musical numbers. If you are a Fosse&MacLaine fan buy this DVD. Not sure, then rent it.』
(Gina's Kitchen) 『What is there not to like about Shirley McClain and Bob Fossee. We had to replace a old video tape which we wore out.』 『After several years as the hottest musical director on Broadway, Bob Fosse made his film directorial debut with this movie version of his Broadway hit, which was based on Fellini'sNights of Cabiria. Shirley MacLaine is terrific as the proverbial hooker with the heart of gold, one who is convinced that she will find the right man if she just turns enough tricks. The Cy Coleman score is a solid one; the film is at its best when Fosse lets his cast of singer-dancers (which includes Chita Rivera, Paula Kelly, and Sammy Davis Jr.) unleash his leggy brand of choreography. While the film suffers from stylistic excesses of the period, you can see the seeds being planted for Fosse's future musical film forays inCabaretandAll That Jazz.--Marshall Fine』

So when it came to our town in the early 80's, it struck a chord with a few pals for the way it portrayed a group of friends who hung together thru thick and thin while growing up together. We related.
So much so that a frame was clipped from the film and sent to a jacket company on the Left Coast and 18 of us got Wanderers jackets, just like the ones in the film. The day they came in we opened the box outside the theatre, put them on in admiration and went in and saw the film once again. (I've seen it probably 75 times now.) Sometime in the mid-90's we were paid a visit by Rose and Phil Kaufman (Mom and Pop to us), who posed for pictures with the 10 or so Telluride Wanderers still in town.
I must say that the film has held up better than many of the jackets, some threadbare and some stretching to fit older and larger bodies. The film still says what it did when I first saw it, i.e., that friendship is important and can get you thru tough times, that honor is important, and that even though you move on in life, the soundtrack of your younger life can be taken with you as you grow up.』
(wanderers) 『funny, funny , funny ! plus it's also got some good action parts ! gang fights and such !』
(The wanderers) 『Great movie of the early 60's about a gang called the wanderers trying to rumble against other gangs like the Del Bombers, the Baldies and the Ducky Boys. Plenty of action and laughs and the characters are really likeable. It stars Ken wahl and a cast of people from tv shows you might remember from the past. Great movie of growing up and early innocence before the start of the middle to late crazy 60's.』
(Wanderer) 『My favourite movie cant buy it in australia lucky i found it on here its heaps good movie the books good too.』
(More than meets the eye) 『As with most Phil Kaufman films, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. Kaufman is after nothing less than the collision of the end of the 50's as it crashes headlong into the 60's. Featuring a cast of unknowns ( at that time ) and a fantastic soundtrack, Kaufman fills The Wanderers with great character performances such as Terror, the 300 pound gang leader, and the Mob guys in XXl-size Hawaiian shirts. Ken Wahl and Karen Allen lead along with a terrific Linda Mans ( Days of Heaven). And because it just wouldn't be a Phil Kaufman film without a metaphysical layer, there is the unexplained presence of the Ducky Boys, whirling dervishes of ultra violence that might not even be real. It's a film that never received the attention it deserved. And who can forget the opening frame as that first chord of "Walk Like A Man" thunders out. Priceless!』 『Movie DVD』

(Should have closed out of town) 『This is one of those movies that apparently nobody has a neutral opinion on. It's either a cinematic masterpiece or a turkey. I gravitate toward the second opinion.
The story, as such, concerns a couple who arrive in New York and have everything possible go wrong. It could have been funny, but Jack Lemmon- who I usually like- misses totally. Instead of being a sympathetic character, his constant bitching and whining about every misfortune becomes irritating, and eventually you don't care if anything happens to him. You almost want someone to finish him off and end the movie.
Sandy Dennis, who I always considered to be an adequate- not great- actress, actually hits the marks better, and her character is much more likeable.
Beware. Rent this one before you buy it. 』

(Laugh Out Loud Funny) 『This is one of the all time great comedies. Even though it is over 30 years olds, the humor is timeless.』 『Arthur Hiller (Love Story) directed the film adaptation of Neil Simon's curious comedy about a pair of non-New Yorkers (Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis) having a hellish visit to the Big Apple on the eve of a job interview for Lemmon's character. Made in 1970, this hectic film almost seems ahead of its time when compared to more recent misery-piled-on-misery comedies such asPlanes, Trains, and Automobiles. The couple in this film endure everything that can go wrong on a trip, including being forced to spend the night in a mugger-happy Central Park. The strange element in Simon's script, though, is that Lemmon's character is so unpleasant. A middle-class, uptight guy who can't believe that New Yorkers in the service profession don't perform their jobs slavishly, he's kind of a one-note joke that quickly wears thin. Remade with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.--Tom Keogh』 『AN OHIO BUSINESSMAN AND HIS WIFE FLY TO NEW YORK AND HAVE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.』

(Shazam, this is still a funny show, no surprise there!) 『Gomer Pyle USMC could be considered a secondary spinoff. Its direct ancestor was The Andy Griffith Show. Introduced in Season 3, this naive but lovable mechanic was soon a regular. He joins many other TV characters originally written for one episode. They include: Nurse Carol Hathaway, Cpl. (later Sgt.) Maxwell Klinger, Steve Urkel, and even Jack Tripper's pal Larry Dallas. The Andy Griffith Show got introduced on an episode of The Danny Thomas Show. This DVD set includes the pilot, which ended Season 4 of TAGS. It was actually filmed earlier in the year. The episode also introduced Sgt. Vince Carter, played by the late Frank Sutton. He and Nabors would be the only two regulars throughout the series' run. Ronnie Schell played Duke Slater, but did another series one year. Larry Hovis appeared in several episodes. The late Pete Deuel was another recruit. There are 30 episodes in this first season. Could you imagine a show doing that many now? The platoon starts off in boot camp. After graduation, they get sent to Camp Henderson in California. Ironically, they're reunited with their old DI. He had switched bases on account of a certain recruit. Surprise, it was Gomer! There are several wacky adventures. Gomer may not be the brightest bulb. But he's definitely not the dimmest. At times Sgt. Carter doesn't seem much smarter. Pvt. Pyle's actions may not always be strictly Marine. But they turn out well in the end. How could you not like him? Some of the best episodes involve Gomer with women. His Southern manners come in conflict with Capt. Ironpants. He tipped his hat, instead of saluting her! See what happens when he dates the colonel's daughter. Later he gets another date with her. But his favorite movie star also asked him! Look out! We're treated to his singing and dancing. Thankfully, he didn't record "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder" in his Gomer voice. TAGS producer Aaron Ruben oversaw this show. Several episodes were written by TAGS writers. Two were directed by Howard Morris, aka Ernest T. Bass. Many TAGS guest stars also appear in these episodes. Each played different characters. They include Ellen Corby and Gavin Macleod. Another, Don Rickles, later did the series CPO Sharkey with Ruben. I also saw one of the Fun Girls, and Barney's karate instructor. Ironically, the last episode of this season had the actor who played Malcolm Tucker in TAGS' "Man in A Hurry" episode. That one introduced a certain bumbling mechanic. Other guest stars include Mr. Whipple (Dick Wilson) and Cyrano Jones (Stanley Adams). This set improves some on TAGS releases. Besides the pilot, we also get audio introductions to every episode by Jim Nabors. He does commentaries on the pilot and first regular episode. Schell does commentary on the dragonlady episode. Too bad Sutton wasn't still around to share his thoughts. There are some interesting bonus features. Unlike these episodes, they are in color. We see Nabors' cameo on a Lucy Show episode. His program was shot at Desilu studios. The complete "Caught In The Draft" episode can be found on some public domain collections. He wasn't called by his character's name here. A David Frost Show clip has more footage from that famous Marine haircut. Nabors also included a Brothers-in-Law sketch from his variety show. Sutton and Schell also appear. Unfortunately, the other actors weren't identified. My beefs with this set are few. English subtitles would always be nice. I wish that they were required on all English DVDs. A laugh track delete option would have been wonderful. Before doing a spinoff, producers should ask themselves several questions. One, what effect would this character's absence have on the first show? That only applies for regular or recurring characters. Ditto if the first show's not being cancelled. Like many TAGS fans, I consider the shark jump to be Don Knotts' departure. But some fans voted for Nabors' leaving. I do think that Ruben's leaving to concentrate on this series hurt worse. Two, can the actor and/or character carry a series on his or her own? Thankfully, the answer here is yes. Three, will the character be asked back if the spinoff fails? Once again, that doesn't apply if both shows are off the air. Four, to what extent will we be reminded of the first show here? Gomer occasionally mentioned the folks in Mayberry. Strangely, his visiting grandfather was named Otis. Some would come visit him in upcoming seasons. Get ready to have a good time! This is definitely a family show. WARNING: Nabors' commentary on the obstacle course episode includes a story about visiting his home town. His telling includes a brief profanity. How that didn't get cut is a mystery. Thankfully, that's an exception. It's time to enlist in this platoon. Attention!』

I purchased these videos before he left to add some humor for our family , We all enjoyed them - Gomer helped us to have some laughs before my son left I will probably purchase the other available seasons.』
(Review of Gomer Pyle,U.S.M.C. video order) 『I enjoyed the comical video and the actors. The product came in a very quick amount of time.』 『Golll-eeeee! The '60s' favorite TV country bumpkin, Gomer Pyle, won the hearts of viewers onThe Andy Griffith Show, and spun off in to his own wildly popular series,Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.. As the eternally cheery and clueless Gomer, Jim Nabors gives a comic tour de force performance as a newbie Marine under the command of the short-tempered Sgt. Carter, played with demonic fervor by Frank Sutton. Are Pyle and Sgt. Carter bitter foes or comedic sidekicks? "Surprise, surprise, surprise"--the secret to their chemistry was that the actors and characters were both, inseparable and adorable in their signature ways. The scrapes Gomer gets into are fairly routine and never exactly threaten national security, but Nabors' guileless delivery makes viewers tune in for more; the belly laughs are real. The boxed set includes engaging audio commentary by Nabors, who clearly still holds a lot of affection for his hapless alter-ego, as well as all 30 first-season episodes, and the pilot, which actually aired onThe Andy Griffith Show. Other gems from the archive treasure trove include appearances by Nabors onThe Lucy Show,The David Frost Show, and Nabor's own variety show, which also showcased his accomplished singing.Shazam!--A.T. Hurley』 『Gomer Pyle was a sweet but not too smart Marine from Mayberry North Carolina who was stationed at Camp Henderson near Los Angeles California. Gomer's innocence naivete and low-key demeanor often got him into trouble most frequently at the hands of his loud-mouthed superior Sgt. Carter.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Easier to use than honey) 『If you like something that dissolves more quickly than hard sugars in your teas or coffees but are tired of spraining your wrists trying to get that honey bear to cooperate, agave is a good choice.
The consistency of this agave nectar is much more liquid than honey, so it dissolves quickly and is easy to dispense. However, it's easy to add too much if you're used to honey!
Overall, I thought the agave was best in red teas compared to black teas. It has its own flavor and, much like different varieties of honey, I don't find it compatible with everything. Still, if you have a substantial tea or coffee collection you're likely to find several that are agave's soulmate.
Amazon's price is incredibly reasonable compared to what this exact brand of agave nectar costs at my local Whole Foods.』
(Better than Everything Else in the Entire World) 『Yes, this is the best substitute you could use in anything you could ever make!
Well, okay... I just use it in my margaritas with Partida and fresh-squeezed limes. Stay away from those sweet-n-sour mixes. This stuff makes the drink perfect. You'll wonder what sort of mental deficiency you had been suffering until you discovered this stuff.
Two choads up!』
(Great Product!!) 『This sweetener is a blessing for me, as I am on a no sugar no flour diet. I don't know what I would do with out it. Please continue making it available to us.』
(Does not ship well) 『This item does not ship well. It came with the nector from one of the bottles all over the packaging and bottles. This is the second time this has happened. Even though it is cheaper per ounce to buy the bigger bottles, I am going to stick with the smaller ones.』
(Madhava Amber Agave Nectar) 『This is a great sweetener! Amber agave nectar, when tasted directly, has a flavor similar to honey. In my coffee, it only sweetens; it does not change the coffee flavor. The nectar flows more freely than honey, but not as easily as maple syrup. As others have noted, it does not crystalize, so, you will not have to 'melt' it in the microwave. Worth repeating: this is a great sweetener!』 『16 FL oz bottle containing 23.5 oz Net Wt Organic Agave Nectar』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (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.』
(AMAZING!!) 『Ok, so I have used every hair care product out there it seems. The glorious things about WEN is that not only does it do fantastic thingas for my hair, but I don't need to buy 5 products to make it look halfway decent anymore. I like my morning routine to be as quick as possible, and this saves me a lot of time. It might seem pricey, but in reality it is no more expensive than buying all of the products that you would be replacing.
This stuff has transformed my hair from dry and unmanaegable to touchably soft and smooth. I can't stop feeling my hair! 』
(Great Product- finally!) 『I have found that by using the Wen cleanser, I can usually get away with not using product at all. This works great, though so I can feel more confident that frizz will be kept under control and it smells good, too. My hair is colored, kind of think and is wavy in ALL the wrong places, so I blow it out. My hair is so much more manageable and shiny!』
(It flattens my curls!) 『The first time I used this, my hair looked great- my curls were perfect and without frizz. But after a few uses, it seemed to weigh my curls down and straighten them. :( I tried different styling products (including Wen) but still no improvement. I do like being able to use this one product in the shower, and it smells good and cleans well. Not sure why it doesn't like my curls!』
(I love this product!) 『My hair felt softer and stronger after one application. Its pricey but worth every penny.』 『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 have to buy some of these every time I am around a Leonidas store - Just love them!』
(best orangettes and great prices) 『even it is abit expensive to buy sometimes, but I find that the quality is exceptional, great taste, great packaging, and still cheaper than some other brands with a better taste.

(Crisp chocolate and tender orange peel) 『This was my dad's absolute favorite candy. He loved orange and bittersweet chocolate best of any flavors and this was, for him a match made in heaven. I adore it as well. After my dad passed away, I found a stash of them in his cupboard. They aren't easy to find, but they make a most welcome after-dinner sweet with coffee for guests.』
(The world's best cold remedy.) 『The product description calls the Orangettes "Belgian Vitamin C." Except for the luxury price, I'm sure Belgians must be pretty healthy with these around. They're amazing! The combination of orange peel and chocolate has long been popular, but Leonidas does it very well. The dark chocolate is very rich, not bitter, and completely covers the orange peel (which retains a good flavor and isn't overly sweet). Unlike other chocolatiers who often dip the peel only partially, Leonidas has made certain to put their chocolate center stage by using a generous portion. The result is an addictive treat because the flavors linger on the palate and the Orangettes aren't so sweet as to become cloying.
I don't know if these guys are really going to improve your health, but they will definitely improve your day. In my opinion, they're worth the money as an occasional purchase and certainly worth a one-time try.
The packaging is a gold box, wrapped in blue and white Leonidas paper with a gilt deep purple box. For shipping, the package was placed inside a sturdy styrofoam shell. Mine arrived within three days and looked like I'd purchased them at the store to give as a gift.』 『One of our most favorite pieces, Leonidas' "Orangette"...a deliciously fresh dark chocolate covered candied orange peel.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Delightful gift choice) 『Purchased for my elderly Mother who can be very particular about her gifts. She was very impressed with both the quality of the boxes with the velvet lids and the contents. She qas very partial to the the almond roca candy. A great value and well received.』
(Should Be Called Common OverPriced Tower) 『I recieved this from somebody as a gift, however what was included was not as listed. First the almond roca candy had so much of a coffee flavor it tasted like eating a can of coffee despite this not being mentioned, also I did not receive shortbread cookies but instead toffee which was way to sweet and not very good. I did not receive chocolate chip cookies but I instead got white chocloate macademia nut cookies which were mini size and only like 4 in the package. Better gifts baskets for this price are available at other companies, I usually use them, I could have got a main/name brand top notch choclate tower or similar from them for this price with quality items. In short, I was disappointed, the quanity was small and the products obviusouly very cheap, this basket should only be priced at $10 rather than $40, and anyone who buys this beware of the reaction you will get on the other end. The largest item only had about 3 mini size white choclate macademia nut cookies in it, everything else was so small it requires no mention to size or quality, although you would expect more quality and better quanity than this. As a quick note, the strawberry bonbon candy is the common .25 hard candy bought anywhere and not gourmet or anything of the such. The description makes it sound great, but you can buy all this at a drug store for under 20 easily. Plus this gift basket can be bought elsewhere for the same price as a brand name such as ghiraderi or a Starbucks gift basket, see how the value comparison does not add up at all? Enough said, avoid.』
(Gift Tower - Gormet Food) 『Excellent product, Compatable replacement, reasonable price, great service!! Great Gift!!! What more can you expect? Congrats to Amazon&Vendor』
(Small) 『This product offers very little in the actual package. The picture makes it seem as though there is alot of food being offered here however the box was filled with not only candy but strips of paper to fill the areas where there is none. The price is good however you would be better off purchasing candy from walmart and geting a box there and placing a ribbon on it! It would be cheaper also!
Candy wasn't very good either XP』
(Delicious) 『It was delicious, beautifully wrapped and presented. I coudln't have asked for better. It's a great gift for a group of people or for far away family or friends. It gets there on time and it makes everyone happy. Plus there are plenty of convinations to choose from and that way satisfy everyone.

(Wonderful Bread) 『The Prepared Pantry makes the best bread in the country. A beginner can do this and not mess it up. Recipes for bread machines but I don't use one. I use my mixer and then if I choose I knead it. Makes your house smell wonderful. The only measuring is the water. They give specific instructions and you cannot fail. Easiest enough I usually make five different loaves a day. You can do that in less than an hour. They have great dried fruits just to snack on but they are supposed to go into the bread. This knobby Apple you could smell out to the street. They have all the supplies if you choose to make from scratch but why would you when this is so good and easy? You can use a bread machine but it's actually easier to do it with a mixer and let it rise all over the house. Just add butter, water or oil. They will help you with anything. I can not say one single bad thing about these people or their product. Price is good, product is better. Try just this one and you will be hooked, if not try the Herb focacchia. If that doesn't hook you, then you really don't like bread. I've never liked bread from a wrapper but this I eat every day.』

Makes fantastic toast.』 『"Enjoy the perfect marriage of apples and cinnamon in this not-too-sweet bread. We found these great apples in California. They are soft and flavorful and more like fresh apples. So we set out to make apple cinnamon bread. We used lots of apples, our best cinnamon, and a sweet apple flavor for the dough. The result was very good but we wanted something more . . . maybe a little lemon zest. So we added just a touch of natural lemon. We thought the result was spectacular so we ran it by our testers. ""Very good . . . but maybe just a little more apple"" some said. So we added a touch more apple. ""Perfect."" We called it Knobby Apple Cinnamon Bread because the chunks of apple left little knobs across the top of the bread. We want you to try this bread. If you like apples and cinnamon, you won't want to miss this bread. Each package contains four mixes. Each mix makes a 1 1/2 pound-sized loaf. (Butter is not included.)

Sugar Ray Robinson was a true original, as a fighter he had it all,Speed..Power..and courage in the ring. As a man he was flamboyant,flashy,and class personified.. Wil Haywood has done an amazing job in recounting the life of this Boxing Legend. 』
("And let thy blows, doubly redoubled, fall like amazing thunder) 『on the casque of thy adverse pernicious enemy" King Richard II, Act I Scene iii
Two ancient bits of personal history came flooding back to me when I read Wil Haygood's "Sweet Thunder: The Life and Times of Sugar Ray Robinson".
First, when I was growing up in the late 50s and early 60s a big group of kids in my neighborhood used to gather into one tiny apartment to watch the boxing on Friday nights. In between fights, we'd strap on big gloves and stage our own 1 round fights. That ended the night we watched Emile Griffith kill Benny "Kid" Paret during a bout.
Second, I remember my father (a musician) talking about how so many of the performers he worked for loved fighters and the fight game. When asked why they seem to have such a close relationship with each other he said basically musicians and fighters (and other athletes) tended at that time to live on the margins or outside the margins of `acceptable' society. They are admired by society even while society sometimes thinks of them as somewhat off. He also indicated that when you get into the ring or put a sax to you lips or put a violin on your shoulders you become judged by your peers solely on merit. In the internal world of boxing and music there was something approaching a meritocracy that society generally was far from adopting. He noted that the best fighters in the world could be viewed as the jazz artists of boxing; you could compare a Robinson fight to a Miles Davis performance if you looked closely enough. The great fighters and the great jazz musicians could respond with fluidity and grace to their environment even if that environment was changing during a fight or a performance.
Both these memories came back to me because Haygood has done such a good job recreating the great Ray Robinson's life and times. He captures the brutality of the sport in a lengthy chapter on Robinson's six gut-wrenching bouts with the raging bull Jake LaMotta and another chapter on the fight against Jimmy Doyle in which Doyle died after a brutal beating at the hands of Robinson. At the same time, Haygood has gone outside the boundaries of the ring and done a fine job talking about Ray's life and times; including the symbiotic relationship he had with the great performers and artists of his. That would include amongst others Josephine Baker, Lena Horne and Langston Hughes. In so doing Robinson is revealed to be much more than a gladiator.
Sweet Thunder provided me with an awful lot of information about Robinson's life that I simply did not know before hand. His description of is early life in Detroit, his move with his mother to Harlem and especially his time in the Army during WWII alongside Joe Louis were eye openers. Haygood's account of Robinson's approach to a hostile segregated south was in stark contrast to his idol Louis' approach. Haygood manages to set out those different approaches without doing a disservice to either Louis or Robinson. Also fascinating was Robinson's lifetime demand on controlling his own ring career. He made no concessions to the mobsters who controlled much of boxing and was one of the first fighters to insist on having the final say in who he fought and when he fought.
I always admired Robinson the fighter but Haygood's excellent biography also caused me to admire the man. The fact that Haygood managed to do this without stooping to a hagiography filled with nothing but praise is to his eternal credit.
All in all this was a fine book and one that can be enjoyed even if you are not a fan of boxing.
L. Fleisig』 『From the author of the critically acclaimedIn Black and White:The Life of Sammy Davis, Jr., comes another illuminating socio-historical narrative of the twentieth century, this one spun around one of the most iconic figures of the fight game, Sugar Ray Robinson.
Continuing to set himself apart as one of our canniest cultural historians, Wil Haygood grounds the spectacular story of Robinson's rise to greatness within the context of the fighter's life and times. Born Walker Smith, Jr., in 1921, Robinson had an early childhood marked by the seething racial tensions and explosive race riots that infected the Midwest throughout the twenties and thirties. After his mother moved him and his sisters to the relative safety of Harlem, he came of age in the vibrant post-Renaissance years. It was there thatâencouraged to box by his mother, who wanted him off the streetsâhe soon became a rising star, cutting an electrifying, glamorous figure, riding around town in his famous pink Cadillac. Beyond the celebrity, though, Robinson would emerge as a powerful, often controversial black symbol in arapidly changing America. Haygood also weaves in the stories of Langston Hughes, Lena Horne, and Miles Davis, whose lives not only intersected with Robinson's but also contribute richly to the scope and soul of the book.
From Robinson's gruesome six-bout war with Jake "Raging Bull" LaMotta and his lethal meeting with Jimmy Doyle to his Harlem nightclub years and thwarted show-biz dreams, Haygood brings the champion's story, in the ring and out, powerfully to life against a vividly painted backdrop of the world he captivated.』

(Need Tea Reviews) 『If you haven't read the second book in the series yet, I suggest skipping this section maybe, because there's a huge spoiler in one of the sentences.
After Rebel Angels, which was bloody fantastic btw, I had super high expectations for this book... and I was severely let down. The plot was just overly complicated and filled with too many subplots that dragged the pacing way down. I have a feeling that since Rebel Angels was so fantastic and when your main villain is killed off, what else can you really do to take up that character's prominent screen time?
Many of the subplots, especially the ones that took place in Gemma's reality where unnecessary, and to me, didn't connect enough to the underlying main plot of the encroaching darkness that's taking over the realms. And then, of course, everyone is probably going to say this but I just hated the ending. It felt so empty and wasn't a satisfying closer.
I loved how Gemma became more vocal about her stance on life, rules, and feelings, but the other girls, while I enjoyed how they came together and supported Gemma at the end in her battle and ultimate choice for her future; they were just so annoying and quite bitchy. It felt the only reason they wanted to be friends with her was because she had the powers of the realm, and I absolutely hated how they treated her when she wouldn't share it with them with good reason, and how she wouldn't always go along with their schemes.
For almost half of the book Kartik was practically non-existent and I wanted more of him, but then later on when the full on romance kicked in, I was super happy but wanted more of that too because I don't know, after three books of this, I needed to have this subtly built relationship go somewhere. There was another romance that came out of nowhere that had me raise my eyebrows in surprise but then I thought it was cool and said "more books need to have this".
I just hated the long meandering side plots that took away from the brilliance this book could have been. Yet, for those of you wanting and waiting on the rush of action and romance in this book, then you won't be disappointed because there's a lot of it.』
(Brilliant!) 『Libba does it again! This trilogy is wonderful. I picked up the first a long time ago, and haven't been able to put this thing down. It's got a somewhat open ending and Ms. Bray is somewhat ambiguous about whether or not she intends to continue these stories. Despite that it's a wonderful read. Regardless, whatever it may be, I cannot wait for her next literary piece!』
(Disappointing ending to the trilogy) 『The Sweet Far Thing concludes the Gemma Doyle trilogy with a somewhat inconsistent and disappointing ending.
The first book A Great&Terrible Beauty promised much but delivered little in the way of character development, plot progression or coherency of the multiple antagonists populating the novel, and left too many loose threads: the Order, the Rakshana, the magic of the realms. Rebel Angels delivered an amazingly well-written, absorbing sequel by honing all the elements lacking in AGTB to engross readers in the magic of Gemma's world. It was somewhat disappointing to discover that the conclusion novel regresses Gemma back to the uncertain, indecisive, and immature character traits that make her so frustrating in the first novel.
The story opens with Gemma, Ann, and Felicity preparing for their society debuts. After binding the magic to herself in RA, Gemma has lost the ability to summon the door of light on command. Her powers seems to have faded when she and her friends discover another door to the realms after construction of the East Wing at Spence unearths buried stones. Making use of this new entrance, the girls' begin visiting the realms once more, where they are surprised to discover Pippa still lingers after believing her lost to the Winterlands.
Very little occurs to progress the story forward during the first half of the 500+ page novel that jumps back and forth between the girls' debut preparations and their trips to the realms (in which they seem to do little but dance and play games) amid tense meetings with the realm tribes. Resentment among the tribes is brewing over Gemma's sole possession of the magic and she is unwittingly forced into pledging uncomfortable new alliances to share the magic with them. Meanwhile, Gemma's insecurities mount when Pippa suddenly develops a magic of her own, and Gemma is no longer its sole owner. One of the most frustrating elements of the story is Gemma's relationship with Kartik, which resumes its on-again, off-again pattern of trust and deceit. But when hidden agendas surface and Gemma can no longer trust her allies, she is forced to seek counsel from Circe, whom she imprisoned in the well of eternity. Gorgon cautions her that war is brewing, and Gemma's fragile claim to the power is threatened as the Winterland creatures amass their armies with a newfound source of power, the Tree of All Souls.
When the plot finally gains momentum as Gemma begins searching for the Tree, the story is chock full of suspenseful action that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
The ending was perhaps the biggest disappointment of the series. The resolution to the war was believable (if not preferable) to the story and its themes, but the four chapters following the climactic battle between the tribes to tie up loose ends back at Spence Academy seemed an overreaching effort on Bray's part to bestow a feminist "lesson" to the novel after the gloomy note on which she ended the fantasy.
The lesbian relationship that seemed to come out of left-field as a tearful disclosure revealed in the final 3/4 of the book made the ending that much more difficult to believe. Bray explored many serious issues in the novel: self-esteem, feminism, sexual abuse, and drug use, but the inclusion of homosexuality in the final quarter was dealt with in a such a hasty, slapdash manner that it did not ring true to the rest of the story.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment of all was that I truly enjoyed this series (the author's gift for storytelling is evident and the prose absorbing enough to hook readers on page 1) but the ending failed to live up to expectations. 』
(Brilliant) 『This product was spectacular. I loved the book and will ready it again and again. I've already let my friend borrow it and she loved it. Amazon is so great! Keep up the awesome work.』 『*âA huge work of massive ambition.ââPublishers Weekly, Starred

I thought the other book would be a hit because it had crinkly sounds, bright colors and more textures/3D pieces. But no, she prefers this book by Taggies. Like other commenters have stated, this is more like a toy than a book - she likes to hold it and chew on it while rolling around on the floor. However the simple (VERY simple) text when read aloud has a lovely repetive sing-song sound that she enjoys and it seems to relax her. The Taggies themselves don't get much play from my daughter - I think they are too small and not silky or textured enough. The info tag is the only one she plays with, but she loves the soft fleece fabric against her face. It's not really a bedtime book as that it is so very short and simplistic, but it's a fun toy to add to the arsenal.』
(Great cloth book) 『My baby was wanting to chew on her board books pretty often. Therefore, we've purchased this cloth book and she loves it. She prefers the biggest tag, but does chew on the others occasionally.』
(Absolutely Fantastic Gift for a New Born or Toddler) 『We got the Sweet Dreams book as a gift when our daughter was born and she loved this book so much that we bought a second Sweet Dreams book and also bought the I Love You, The Princess book and the Christmas book. Our daughter is now almost four and still goes to bed every night with her Sweet Dreams book. The other books are in our son's crib and they're the first thing he grabs whenever we go to get him. I can not express how much they both love these books and how useful they can be in teaching basic sight words. If you have a baby or are about to have a baby or know anyone that is going to have a baby you need to stock-up on taggie books』
(my daughter LOVES it!) 『My 2&1/2 year old daughter loves this thing! It's a cross between a pacifier and security blanket for her. She sucks on the tags which is a little gross but we have 2 of these books and wash&rotate them constantly. She sleeps with her taggies book, and if we are going on a long car ride we let her take the book and she is out like a light in 5 minutes! I would recommend these books to any infant or toddler!』
(NIce book.) 『I thought this would be a great book but was disapointed. The tags don't have any texture on them so my son doesn't really care about it.』 『Modeled after the popular Taggies baby blankets,My First Taggies Bookis a soft fleece picture book with eight different looped ribbon tags to rub and pull and chew. The content of the book is very simple: three two-page spreads featuring a plush kitty, bunny, and puppy, along with accompanying rhymes. "Sweet dreams, little kitty,/ Rock-a-bye and nighty night." The point here is not the plot line, but the delightfully cuddly feel of the book and the interactive tags. Designed to be tactile and visually stimulating, each tag has a different print or texture, much like the satin edges of blankets or clothing labels that so intrigue babies and toddlers. A gentle and safe way to introduce the very youngest "readers" to the world of books.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not worth the money) 『I am an australian living here in the US for 3 months and needed a double stroller but did not want to pay huge dollars for it. I was excited when I saw this on Amazon. I am glad that I only need it for 3 months, it is pretty poor quality. I am only hopeful that it stays in one piece up until I leave. Firstly, I paid an extra $30 delivery to get it quickly and then it arrived missing the part that keeps the the left had seat up. I rang InStep and they said they would send one over quickly. 7 days later I rang again. I questioned wether I should recieve reimbursement for the delivery (basically I did not receive all of the pram) the service woman was not impressed with this query and said that they would not charge me delivery for the part that they did not send me in the first place - how nice of them. I had to tie the cords at the back of the seat so it was upright while waiting for the part. 10 days later it arrived. No-one bothered to mention to me on the phone that there are little toggles on the end of the cords that don't come off so I CANT PUT IT ON!! Secondly, the front wheel jams when you sometimes turn corners. The only way to fix this is to push the pram back and forth until it rights itself. This is very annoying when you are on a busy street. Doing this however bent the axle and the front wheel fell off. My poor father had taken my son for a long walk and had to push the pram back on its back wheels because there was no front wheel. I am now super cautious to use this pram in case the wheel falls off. The quality of the material is pretty poor, if you spill something on it, it just get sucked up into the material - it also looks alot better on the internet than in person. Peopl
