Office 2007 is a good suite of applications. The only thing that prevents me from giving it a top rating is Microsoft’s constant altering the user interface from previous versions and, in my opinion, not for the better. I resorted to 3rd party add-ons that largely allowed one to revert to previous menus.

I think by now everyone understands the concept of Wii and if you are the type of person to enjoy this gaming system or not. My family and I are very active so this is an excellent product and a good way to stay active in the winter. I really like how easy this product was to setup! Very easy to follow step by step instructions with pictures and information on what to avoid to increase the accuracy of how your system communicates to the remote controls. I’m not always technologically savy and tend to get frustrated easily when products don’t work right away but this system set up quickly and easily and worked the first time!!

I love the game system, and have had no problems at all with it. I have one gripe with Nintendo though, and this is a warning to anyone new to the system (like me): the instructions are useless. I figured out more just by trial and error than by using the booklet that came with the system. Not a big deal, just a warning. Also, don’t for a minute believe amazon on the delivery time-they are full of it. I ordered it with basic shipping, I wasn’t in a hurry, HOWEVER, waiting 5 business days just to fulfill my order is ridiculous. I can guarantee that if I paid for the express shipping, I wouldn’t have received it by the time they guaranteed. How do I know this? Because once packed, it only took 3 days to ship, which has never happened before. A big deal? maybe not, but I wnated to warn anyone who was buying this as a gift.

I’ve heard much about this book and to hear that it was about the circus, I went in expecting it to be a great book.

I am a little disappointed. Although the author no doubt put much research into this, I never got into the story. Maybe because I felt the book didn’t have a really strong, solid plot to it and it just went on and on about Jacob’s day working at the circus. The romance that was thrown in wasn’t believable and therefore, failed to further the paper-thin plot.

Any good story needs a strong cast of characters. ‘Water for the Elephants’ had many interesting characters that went in and out of the woodwork but none of them felt real to me. They were shallow and two-dimensioned and I didn’t have much emotional connection to them. The one character that was arguably more developed was the dwarf and in the end, even Jacob didn’t seem to care much about him. The main character Jacob wasn’t engaging to me; he’s faced with animal abuse and spousal abuse and he feels sorry, etc. etc, but he’s not proactive about anything. His romance with Marlena was…contrived and random. Jacob showed no indication on WHY he loves her – readers are just told that ‘She looks like Catherine’ (a college crush) and they just fall madly in love with each other. The dialogue between them was just cringe-worthy and mostly consisted of Marlena bursting into tears. Not exactly strong enough to have the whole book revolve around their relationship, which I think is the downfall of this book.

The writing style of this book was very straight-forward and easy to read. I was expecting some great, beautiful writing hearing all those positive reviews like in ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ but I guess not. The writing and the plot seemed amateurish and predictable. The ending was just too contrived and too neatly wrapped up.

All in all, this was a quick read, not really thought-provoking or challenging. I was reading it while on breaks and it was easy to fall out and in of it – which isn’t rea

It is not just important to understand this film because it was Kubrick’s last film but because it was his strongest in terms of the world in which it takes place. The film may be set in New York but it is not New York (and not just because it was mostly shot in England.) In the DVD interview with Speilberg he comments on Kubricks ability to have never made the same movie twice. How each film exists in it’s own world. Some being grander than others while some feel stangly familiar. Still, his last world I feel is the most fleshed out. He spent three years creating this world in which these chacters inhabit and the patience and dedication to that world is just amazing. Along with the film’s initial importance it is neccessary to point out the DVD key features and why, even though limited, are great: Right off the bat is the full screen negative “as Kubrck intended it” took me a minute to get altogether. For I had seen EWS in the theater and in my mind’s eye I can remember the film being at full screen length (2:33 aspect ratio.) But this means that the film was infact framed at 1:85 and as mearly cut off at the top and bottom. I slowly began to see it there and did feel better about the whole thing. Athough many DVD collectors may consider the fullscreen negative a downside like most of the Kubrick Collection it is infact a privillage to see it the way it was shot more than how it was shown. Sadly, there is only one other key feature outside of the usual bios and trailers: The interviews with Cruise, Kidman, and Spielberg when you first think about it might be at least interesting, but in fact are some of the greatest interviews I have ever seen filmed. I couldn’t believe how vulnerable Tom and Nichole were during thier interviews. How honest they were in there emotion. This was not acting and it was not emotion brought on by the craft of acting, this was general recolection and sorrow for the man they gave three years of their life to.
Eyes Wide Shut Spanish

Probably because of how stupid it is. It’s been years since I read it, but I can sum it up for you. It follows the experiences of a spoiled rotten dumbass rich kid with no drive, no motivation, no goals, no self respect. Why? Because he’s never worked a day in his life and expects the world to feel sorry for him because he has teenage angst. This kid could be considered the orginal emo without the make up. Yeah he shows signs of schitzophreina, but that really doesn’t make him more compelling or pitful. Bottom line, this is the saga of a self centered little bastard incapable of feeling any emotion for anyone save perhaps his little sister. It’s not timeless, the story teaches nothing, but creates a model of an idiot. I’ll say this though, if you are a parent and you’re kid turns out like this kid, you have failed as a parent. Mabye that’s the point of the book, but I doubt it.

The book is overhyped by the hippie crowd because they can relate to the character. As in they’re spoiled rotten rich little idiots who have never worked a day in their life and are looking for hand outs. That’s the description of the main character and the synopisis of the book. This is probably why the book has been banned so much, because it’s an insipid self centered, apathetic mockery of the human experience. A guide to living for the weak minded so called elite masses.

Love it…wish I had ordered one a long time ago. I liked it so much that I am going to get on for my daughter.

This is a great alternative to the same cable sold by Microsoft. It has the same function, and serves the job perfectly well.

I also bought an adapter to use it with my Dell monitor. Works swimmingly.

I have only had this pedometer for a few weeks but I love it. I have had many before that didn’t stay hooked to my belt so they fell off and broke, didn’t keep an accurate count of my steps, or reset themselves in the middle of the day. This one resets at midnight so I don’t accidentally have too many steps registered or double counted by my forgetfulness to reset it in the morning.
