Birds of Prey: The Complete Series

When I heard Bird's Of Prey was FINALLLY!!! cooming to DVD I rejoiced. But The end result is only slightly worthy. The show if you forgot is set in a day after tomorrow New Gotham. Old Gotham was destroyed in a quake. The heroine(s) of the Show is the wheel-chair bound Oracle (aka) BatGirl , The daugther of the Black Canary and Huntress, the daugther of BatMan and Catwoman as they fight a Metahum read more..

You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You)

I thought this book had a lot of practical tips and details but overall nothing cutting edge or revolutionary. I did read another book recently that had some cutting edge diet and fitness info in it--"The Six-Pack Diet Plan" by Rehan Jalali. read more..

Batman Begins (Widescreen Edition)

Of course, this review refers to the regular DVD edition, as the BD gift set of the film is apparently loaded with goodies. As it is, the only thing THIS one is good for is, once you remove all the postcards and zip drive (nice that I now finally have one, but what the heck is it doing in this?!), you can use the box to hold both the two-disc "Batman Begins" DVD and the two-disc "Batman: Gotham K read more..

Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges

As a plaintiff's lawyer who also does appeal work, this book was very interesting but little is memorable after a few days. I'm glad I signed it out from the library instead of buying it. It's just a repete of basic (naive) advocacy principles. The image is that your judge will really conscientiuosly read things and be careful to rule properly. The book is very well-edited--so you won't read m read more..

No Country for Old Men [Blu-ray]

I was so disgusted by the ending of this movie that I ordered the Cormac McCarthy novel and read it. -- In the movie, we see the sheriff looking down at a body in the morgue. In the book it is made clear that this is Moss's body. In the movie Chigurh is waiting for Moss's wife when she comes back from her mother's funeral and asks her to flip a coin to see whether she lives or dies. In the book we read more..

SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler

Bought this swamp cooler to at least give it a chance to see how it will work in the house this summer. Before purchasing, I understood that it is better if used in places with LOW humidity, as we average between 60% and 70%, I was still hoping that this machine would still make a difference. In the hottest part of the day it does bring the felt temperature down a few degrees (so imagine if it's read more..

Escape

I didn't like this book. Not because it wasn't a truely amazing story but because as she was describing the tension that was going on in her life it made me tense also. It took me a long time to read it because it stressed me out too much.

She tended to repeat herself a few times during the book and sometimes the writing was a little unorganized. She is a novice writer and I blame read more..

SanDisk Sansa e260 4 GB MP3 Player with SD Expansion Slot (Black)

I purchased the E260 to replace my Sansa C250 which had begun to experience a problem where the headset plugs into it. I had that one for almost 2 years and really liked it. My sister had the E260 and it looked sleek and seemed nice so I bought it. It is a very nice looking player. The way the center wheel lights up is neat, although it is very tricky to work and somewhat cheap. The buttons you pu read more..

Kicker 08KS680 6x8 2-Way Coaxial 180W KS Series Car Speakers : KS680

I bought these for the rear of my F250 crew cab, after installing the KS502 component speakers in the front. I was incredibly impressed with the components, so I thought I would stick with the same series for the rear.
The high's and mid range are good, but sound was not that noticeable from the stock speakers.
One downfall is the location, which is behind the seat, but my expectations read more..

Breakout

The lyrics for "Simple Song" on the lyric sheet uses the word "HEL$". However, in the song she subs the word "down". Parents if you do not want your children to be exposed to this please take the lyric sheet out that comes with the cd. Other options are downloading the album and burning it to the disc. My young daughter pointed this out to me. I would have not caught it otherwise, as I would h read more..

Logitech 960-000254 QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac

I had gone through a lot of webcams for my iMac G4 until I had finally found this one made especially for a Mac, not Windows. There was a review about this webcam stating that it was clear video quality, and it isn't. I cannot get it to work on my iChat, no idea why, but it will work on Skype. Skype however doesn't have good quality to the other end. Trying to contact my mother, she was disappoint read more..

Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception

My only concern is people seem to believe they need a special antenna for receiving HDTV. Antennas are passive resonators. Typically, the larger the better. If you're in an urban setting, a directional antenna such at this Turk is preferable to reduce ghosting. However, in reality, there is no technological change between a HDTV antenna and an Analog antenna.

D-Link ADSL2/ 2+ Modem / 4-Port Router Ethernet, TR067/ 069

I bought this as a backup if my service provider ADSL modem burned out. It was hard to set up on Embarq of TX and so I bought a Zoom ADSL modem from Best Buy. I would recommend the ZOOM modem instead because it was much easier to set up. However I did finally get the DLink modem to work. I still kept it as a backup. Thanks. read more..

Love On The Inside [Deluxe Fan Edition]

I must say, I was never a big fan of Sugarland, and having not particularly liked any of the songs from their first and second album, was surprised to have found a few songs on this new album that actually sounded pretty good. I can't stand the first song ("All I Want To do"), but some of the other songs are okay...mainly "We Run" and "Joey" are the only two songs that I actually care for. Overall read more..

Shelcore Pop Up Sun

Fortunately I purchased this "sun- in -the -box" on sale or I think I would have been more disappointed. The crank is very difficult to turn, especially for tiny hands. Therefore, it is hard to make the song play properly. It is very cute and durable but it functions poorly. read more..

King Corn

is that CORN FARMERS, or farmers who grow ANYTHING, grow what makes money. Crops are subsidized so the gov't can keep control. Control how much is grown (acres), control the prices, and make sure they are "nicey nicey" to other countries and buy commodities from them. I want to laugh and say, if you could get a promotion and make more money, would you do it? Why should a farmer not do what makes t read more..

The Other Boleyn Girl

I have not seen the DVD but did go to the movie at the theater. I had read the book and knew that it was great fun if not even close to historically accurate. That is OK by me. The movie is short so has very little time to tell a very long story. I was expecting it to be longer and I think it would have been better if it was longer. Having said that, I thought it was a very beautiful movie and the read more..

Sail

I wanted to like this book and was looking forward to reading it. However almost everything in it that happened was so unbelievable I thought that I was reading a comedy. From New England to the Bahamas in a sailboat in a day...really? A giant snake....really. A kind of fun read but I couldn't make myself believe it was a serious James Patterson book. read more..

Dance to This

I was very excited about this disk, but found it disappointing. Alfonso is quite talented, but the music is thin and predictable. Since he plays all the instruments, it sounds like a cheap Casio keyboard keeping time in the background - weak. I wish he would hook up with a band of talented musicians that would give him the rich supporting sound his lovely sax playing deserves. read more..

Magellan Traffic Kit for the Maestro Series

Although the Traffic Service is supposed to work in Atlanta, I have yet to see a single traffic alert. I would have given this one star except that it is a required optional accessory if you want to use an external antenna with the Maestro and for that it works as advertised. read more..

Caselogic PHDC-1 Small EVA External Hard Drive Case (Black)

I ordered 4 of these to be used to transport standard 3.5 inch hard-drives as part of a rotating off-site back-up scenario.

Found that the cases are too small for standard 3.5 inch hard-drives. Probably would work for a lap-top hard-drive, but I did not try that.

The cases look great, and appear they would be perfect for smaller hard-drives and devices. read more..

Logitech Noise-Canceling Headphones

I've been enjoying these headsets for a couple of months. The sound quality is very good the battery lasts a long time and the thoughtful carrying case is perfect for my complete traveling audio needs. They seem to perform almost as well as my *very* expensive headsets I use when flying.

One day an ear piece broke off somehow (I don't know how) and on examination, I found that the read more..
