Renal Diabetic Cookbooks


Renal diabetes occurs due to a low-sugar level in the kidneys. A patient with renal diabetes has normal blood glucose levels, but the kidney fails to reabsorb the normal amount of glucose back into the blood. The excess glucose is excreted into the blood stream. Renal diabetic cookbooks provide recipes that cater to the specific nutritional needs of these patients.

A renal diabetic cookbook contains a wealth of nutritional information for renal diabetics. Exchange values and nutrient content are provided for each recipe. Most diabetics complain about the lack of variety in their menus. Renal diabetic cookbooks help solve this problem by providing a wide variety of recipes ranging from stuffed, baked, steamed, fried, barbequed and microwave food.

In general, the recipes in a renal diabetic cookbook are high in fiber and low in cholesterol, salt, sugar and saturated fat. These books also include dietary and cooking style tips that are helpful for patients. Some of these books have sections on planning special meals such as canning and freezing food, and some include the latest food exchange lists from the American Dietetic Association and American Diabetes Association. The recipes in a renal diabetic cookbook list the nutritional values of various dishes. This is of great help for a patient who must manage intake of calories in accordance with the prescribed dietary chart.

Authors of renal diabetic cookbooks research extensively before presenting innovative recipes for dishes that are typically not allowed for a diabetic. For instance, some cookbooks contain recipes for delicious desserts such as cakes, cookies, bars, pies, pastries and puddings. The ingredients and preparation style in all these dishes are suitably modified to fit a diabetic?s needs.

Most diabetic cookbooks include a section that deals with a listing of calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, sodium, potassium and cholesterol that is contained in each dish. Renal diabetics understand the importance of controlling phosphorus. Most renal diabetes cookbook authors keep this in mind when developing recipes.

Howard the Duck



Howard the Duck
If you concentrate on the fact that Howard the Duck was a notorious box office dud (still brought up today) and considered one of the worst films of the '80s, it's entirely possible to enjoy this special effects piffle. Howard, played by a special effect puppet, lives on a planet where ducks evolved instead of apes, but one day he's sucked into a vortex and deposited on Earth. There he befriends Beverly Switzler (Lea Thompson), lead singer for the Cherry Bombs, becomes their manager, and, oh yeah, saves the Earth from the Dark Overlords. Jeffrey Jones is the villain and Tim Robbins (!) is there for comic relief. And who can resist the culmination of synthesizer pop, the Howard the Duck theme song, as realized by the Cherry Bombs? A midnight movie that your kids might watch more than you. --Keith Simanton

Customer Review: Apparently, there are no Buckaroo Banzai fans out there...

I enjoyed the movie. Sort of a "Buckaroo Banzai" type movie in that the main character is an all-around McGyver-ish kind of guy who can do everything. It's a fun movie, one that I enjoyed watching with my then-grade-school aged son. Plus, the theme song is very exciting and up-beat (sung by the beautiful and multi-talented Holly Robinson of 21 Jump Street fame).

Customer Review: Worst film of the eighties? I can think of much worse

Why does everyone have a major problem with Howard The Duck? After watching it, and reading some of the reviews, I have to seriously disagree with all the negative reviews on here. Sure, it's in no way a classic, and Lea Thompson has really big hair (the hairstylist should have been shot for crimping her hair!!!), but it's fun, it's slightly out there, and there is no other movie that can compare to this. Perhaps Who Framed Roger Rabbit? but only very slightly.



Maybe the reason why this is getting bad reviews, is because reviewers can't get past the idea there is actually a person in that suit. Yes it's not CGI, it's not any fancy technology (even in a film by George Lucas), there is a person in a duck suit. Really!



The plot is pretty simple, but you get the impression it's aimed more towards adults, than a nice little film aimed at the kiddies. Howard gets transported to earth, where he meets singer with the Cherry Bomb, Beverley, who can't believe she's talking to a duck. She takes him to a friend of hers, a scientist, who can't believe he's talking to a duck ... The story goes on. Then we meet Jeffrey Jones, who is responsible for bringing Howard to earth, and then he turns into a Dark Overlord (here's where I find the resemblence with Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)



The best part of this movie is definitely the songs. I started rocking out to the song at the end "Howard The Duck", which I'm now officially in love with, and need to get on my mp3 player (hint hint hint). Why can't I find it anywhere??? I need it and I needed it yesterday.



Lea Thompson is brilliant, right down to her clothing, which is seriously eighties, along with her hair. She's the perfect kooky match to Howard, and even sings!!! I was expecting to see it was dubbed, but she actually sang! The girl can sing.



It's amazing watching Howard interact with everything on Earth, and you've got a heart of stone if you don't feel for him. You do get past the idea that it's a guy in a suit, and if you don't laugh at the quiff he gets when he's in bed, you have no sense of humour.



To all the reviewers who think this film is bad - yes, you're entitled to your opinion, but did we watch the same film? Go watch a 'classic'.



Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)



Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)
Spectacular animated action scenes turn the ancient epic poem Beowulf into a modern fantasy movie, while motion-capture technology transforms plump actor Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) into a burly Nordic warrior. When a Danish kingdom is threatened by the monster Grendel (voiced and physicalized by Crispin Glover, River's Edge), Beowulf--lured by the promise of heroic glory--comes to rescue them. He succeeds, but falls prey to the seductive power of Grendel's mother, played by Angelina Jolie... and as Jolie's pneumatically animated form rises from an underground lagoon with demon-claw high heels, it becomes clear that we're leaving the original epic far, far behind. Regrettably, the motion-capture process has made only modest improvements since The Polar Express; while the characters' eyes no longer look so flat and zombie-like, their faces remain inexpressive and movements are still wooden. As a result, the most effective sequences feature wildly animated battles and the most vivid character is Grendel, whose grotesqueness ends up making him far more sympathetic than any of the mannequin-like human beings. The meant-to-be-titillating images of a naked Jolie resemble an inflatable doll more than a living, breathing woman (or succubus, as the case may be). But the fights--particularly Grendel's initial assault on the celebration hut--pop with lushly animated gore and violence. Also featuring the CGI-muffled talents of Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs), Robin Wright Penn (The Princess Bride), and John Malkovich (Dangerous Liaisons). --Bret Fetzer

Customer Review: Beouwulf

Have not watched it yet, so I can really pass on my take on the movie. I heard lots of good things about the movie from others and wanted to own it.

Customer Review: Flawed in the Re-telling

There are many good things in this movie: The actual characters from the Epic, the basic setting, the intense violence, Grendel, even Grendel's mother. However, and I admit that I am biased here,I just don't think you can re-write a mythic tale that has survived for 1000 years to satisfy a modern director's idea of a good plot.



This movie is not Beowulf, it is a movie based upon the Beowulf epic. As such, it changes the central theme of the actual epic: The war between heaven hell being fought on earth as a struggle between good and evil, man and monster. I suppose that modern ideas of heroism can not accept the mythic heroism of the epic, but I feel that those very ideas are what make the original epic a truly great story.



Taking those elements out make this movie a morality tale about a false hero reaching redemption at last. The movie reflects the cynicism of the modern era I suppose, but it loses the epic qualities of the original poem.

Customer Review: Awesome Season

This is an awesome season for Stargate Atlantis with a few twists and turns that keep you interested. I love both the Stargate SG-1 series and Stargate Atlantis series. I've always been a scifi fan!

Customer Review: Bring on season 4

I LIKE IT!!! I won't begin to go into a write up like other gifted individuals but this is great for a 10 year old locked in a 50 yr old man. Kirk references were funny by McKay but that's about the limit on that character. I don't like his smart [...] ways but there are some episodes where he shows a more human side. Sunday just sucked as a story but the episode was performed very well. You'll know what I mean when you get there. I won't mention how attractive I think Dr Weir is..but I guess I already did. Actors/actresses did a great job in all episodes thus far and what surprised me is they're all Canadian except for the MASH guy(sorry fella). Good job aye! Found it pretty cool that the studio is in Vancouver considering I was stationed just south of there. I'm really getting stupid in this so I'll stop. Strange that I had to deploy to the Middle East to discover this series but so glad I did...discover it I mean. Had to pace myself because I was making marathon watching the norm.

Customer Review: Worthwile Upgrade

If you are a user or TurboTax Business and Quickbooks, then you will find this a worthwhile upgrade. Additionally, I have been using this version on Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and it is working fine.

Customer Review: WARNING! - QuickBooks is Adware

Unless you like reading pop up ads, don't buy this software. QuickBooks Pro forces you to suffer through a constant barrage of pop up ads for addtional services, products and upgrades. I just spoke to customer service and they told me there is no way to disable this feature. I can understand being forced to read ads for free software, but I am stunned that I am forced to read ads in a piece of software that I paid for. The next time I am forced to upgrade (QuickBooks stops supporting older versions of their software after just a few years) I'll just switch to one of their competitors.



It's Time



It's Time
Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Customer Review: Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble, CD

Wonderful singer! I love it that he mainly sticks to the old classics, Sinatra tunes in particular. Buble even sounds like Sinatra in some songs. Anyway, love his choice of music, plus he's always got a great orchestra behind him. Quality CD!

LOVE the program so much and so do my students!

Customer Review: Wonderful software for Kids or Adults

I have used this software on a Mac for several years but I understand it is now available for Windows users as well. This is a great value and offers a creative outlet for all types of projects. I have made photo pages for a scrap book, a comic birth announcement, and more. Not-for-profit institutions can purchase a "Site" license for all their computers for only $500 from the company (direct buy. Our local school district purchased that license for some 5,000 computers or .10 cents per machine. Many student with "writing problems" have enjoyed this software to write simple reports.

Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End (Widescreen Edition)



Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End (Widescreen Edition)
Just when he's needed most, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), that witty and wily charmer of a pirate, is trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones' Locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack's the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must come together united in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates' way of life. From exotic Singapore, to World's End and beyond, from Shipwreck Island, to a titanic battle, this adventure's filled with over-the-edge action, irreverent humor and seafaring myth and magic. Everything has led to this twisting, turning, wild swashbuckling ride in this final chapter of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy

Customer Review: I was expecting more on Tia Dalma.

There was this hype in the film about her. When she's unleashed, she grows 30 ft. tall, breaks down into a million crabs, creates a storm, and is never seen again...Geez.



The director could have had her heal Will, and have his dad become captain of the Dutchman. But no, seperating Will from his woman...Was just dumb. I'd have also liked interviews with the main actors

in the Bonus Features, a Blooper Reel ain't good enough.



Customer Review: Greatest movie of all time!

When I saw At Worlds End in the theater I was just breath taken because it's such a great movie and it's illogical to not like it. If you want to buy a great movie this is the movie to buy.



Angel Sales I Sight Light



Angel Sales I Sight Light
Customer Review: Angel Sales I Sight Light

I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.

Customer Review: great concept but..



I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.



The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.



This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.



I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,



2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,

It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.

Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.



All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.



Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks - Red



Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks - Red
The Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks is designed for comfort and mobility. Rubber side grips and a sculpted shape provide secure control, while the compact size and storable micro-receiver make the mouse easy to transport. Secure 2.4 GHz digital cordless plus a high-definition optical sensor helps this mouse perform reliably whether you're on the road or in your living room.

Customer Review: Using it right now....

This mouse is very small and cute. I love how it has the usb that can be stored in the mouse. It saves battery power, and goes in my bag very well when we are traveling. The only thing that I wish that it had was a back and forward buttons on the sides of the mouse. The mouse that I have with my desktop has it and I guess I got a little spoiled :)

Customer Review: Great notebook mouse for a great price.

When the left-click button switch decided to deteriorate immensly in response on my previous Logitech cordless notebook mouse, I finally decided to buy a new one. The problem hadn't been that bad before, but it finally got to the point where I said "Alright, I've had enough. I'm getting a new one.".



Needless to say, This is a perfect replacement, and I'm very happy with the mouse. It's more comfortable than the last one (which was very good), and it feels very solidly built, as usual from Logitech. The fact that it uses two AAAs instead of AAs is interesting as well. The way the batteries go in is very odd, and I was confused about it the first time I put them in. I assumed it maintained the traditional opposite facing battery setup, and only when it didn't turn on did I actually take one of them out and notice they were supposed to face the same way. Stupidity on my part.



Other than this, and the fact that if you're not careful when putting the batteries in you could possibly damage the main circuitboard of the mouse, it's perfect. Those two things are so minor that they don't make a difference to me, hence the five-star rating.



All in all, a perfect replacement mouse for my old Logitech notebook mouse (abotu a year and a half, to two years old), and none to stingy with the pricing. I bought mine at Circuit City who just so happened to be having a sale on the mouse that day. $[...] before $[...] of mail-in rebates. $[...] for such a good mouse is quite the deal!

Customer Review: Awesome Season

This is an awesome season for Stargate Atlantis with a few twists and turns that keep you interested. I love both the Stargate SG-1 series and Stargate Atlantis series. I've always been a scifi fan!

Customer Review: Bring on season 4

I LIKE IT!!! I won't begin to go into a write up like other gifted individuals but this is great for a 10 year old locked in a 50 yr old man. Kirk references were funny by McKay but that's about the limit on that character. I don't like his smart [...] ways but there are some episodes where he shows a more human side. Sunday just sucked as a story but the episode was performed very well. You'll know what I mean when you get there. I won't mention how attractive I think Dr Weir is..but I guess I already did. Actors/actresses did a great job in all episodes thus far and what surprised me is they're all Canadian except for the MASH guy(sorry fella). Good job aye! Found it pretty cool that the studio is in Vancouver considering I was stationed just south of there. I'm really getting stupid in this so I'll stop. Strange that I had to deploy to the Middle East to discover this series but so glad I did...discover it I mean. Had to pace myself because I was making marathon watching the norm.

Customer Review: WARNING! - QuickBooks is Adware

Unless you like reading pop up ads, don't buy this software. QuickBooks Pro forces you to suffer through a constant barrage of pop up ads for addtional services, products and upgrades. I just spoke to customer service and they told me there is no way to disable this feature. I can understand being forced to read ads for free software, but I am stunned that I am forced to read ads in a piece of software that I paid for. The next time I am forced to upgrade (QuickBooks stops supporting older versions of their software after just a few years) I'll just switch to one of their competitors.



It's Time



It's Time
Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Customer Review: Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble, CD

Wonderful singer! I love it that he mainly sticks to the old classics, Sinatra tunes in particular. Buble even sounds like Sinatra in some songs. Anyway, love his choice of music, plus he's always got a great orchestra behind him. Quality CD!

Customer Review: Great!

I love this cd, I love the mood that it creates, as you can just kick back, and take a breather, sitting around the fire, or cooking a meal, just soothing music... just wonderful.

Customer Review: Comic Life: Computer program for Macs

HIGHLY reccomended

I use this every year with my special needs class, they make comic books with it.



The kids still have to draw their own stuff, and you scan it in.

LOVE the program so much and so do my students!

Customer Review: Wonderful software for Kids or Adults

I have used this software on a Mac for several years but I understand it is now available for Windows users as well. This is a great value and offers a creative outlet for all types of projects. I have made photo pages for a scrap book, a comic birth announcement, and more. Not-for-profit institutions can purchase a "Site" license for all their computers for only $500 from the company (direct buy. Our local school district purchased that license for some 5,000 computers or .10 cents per machine. Many student with "writing problems" have enjoyed this software to write simple reports.

Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End (Widescreen Edition)



Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End (Widescreen Edition)
Just when he's needed most, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), that witty and wily charmer of a pirate, is trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones' Locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack's the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must come together united in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates' way of life. From exotic Singapore, to World's End and beyond, from Shipwreck Island, to a titanic battle, this adventure's filled with over-the-edge action, irreverent humor and seafaring myth and magic. Everything has led to this twisting, turning, wild swashbuckling ride in this final chapter of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy

Customer Review: I was expecting more on Tia Dalma.

There was this hype in the film about her. When she's unleashed, she grows 30 ft. tall, breaks down into a million crabs, creates a storm, and is never seen again...Geez.



The director could have had her heal Will, and have his dad become captain of the Dutchman. But no, seperating Will from his woman...Was just dumb. I'd have also liked interviews with the main actors

in the Bonus Features, a Blooper Reel ain't good enough.



Customer Review: Greatest movie of all time!

When I saw At Worlds End in the theater I was just breath taken because it's such a great movie and it's illogical to not like it. If you want to buy a great movie this is the movie to buy.



Angel Sales I Sight Light



Angel Sales I Sight Light
Customer Review: Angel Sales I Sight Light

I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.

Customer Review: great concept but..



I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.



The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.



This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.



I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,



2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,

It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.

Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.



All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.



Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks - Red



Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks - Red
The Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks is designed for comfort and mobility. Rubber side grips and a sculpted shape provide secure control, while the compact size and storable micro-receiver make the mouse easy to transport. Secure 2.4 GHz digital cordless plus a high-definition optical sensor helps this mouse perform reliably whether you're on the road or in your living room.

Customer Review: Using it right now....

This mouse is very small and cute. I love how it has the usb that can be stored in the mouse. It saves battery power, and goes in my bag very well when we are traveling. The only thing that I wish that it had was a back and forward buttons on the sides of the mouse. The mouse that I have with my desktop has it and I guess I got a little spoiled :)

Customer Review: Great notebook mouse for a great price.

When the left-click button switch decided to deteriorate immensly in response on my previous Logitech cordless notebook mouse, I finally decided to buy a new one. The problem hadn't been that bad before, but it finally got to the point where I said "Alright, I've had enough. I'm getting a new one.".



Needless to say, This is a perfect replacement, and I'm very happy with the mouse. It's more comfortable than the last one (which was very good), and it feels very solidly built, as usual from Logitech. The fact that it uses two AAAs instead of AAs is interesting as well. The way the batteries go in is very odd, and I was confused about it the first time I put them in. I assumed it maintained the traditional opposite facing battery setup, and only when it didn't turn on did I actually take one of them out and notice they were supposed to face the same way. Stupidity on my part.



Other than this, and the fact that if you're not careful when putting the batteries in you could possibly damage the main circuitboard of the mouse, it's perfect. Those two things are so minor that they don't make a difference to me, hence the five-star rating.



All in all, a perfect replacement mouse for my old Logitech notebook mouse (abotu a year and a half, to two years old), and none to stingy with the pricing. I bought mine at Circuit City who just so happened to be having a sale on the mouse that day. $[...] before $[...] of mail-in rebates. $[...] for such a good mouse is quite the deal!

Great Books for your Toddler: 5 Must-Reads


With so many new books out there, it is hard to decide which books are really worth the investment. Below you will find 5 must-reads, which will provide excellent toddler reading! Pick up a copy at the library and if your toddler loves it (and I?m sure they will), buy a copy. These books make a great foundation for your book collection!

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, Illustrated by Clement Hurd

The rhythm and rhyme of this story will really appeal to two-year-olds. Don?t be surprised if you read this one over and over before bed. Infact, the more you read it, the better! It will be the ?get ready for bed? book, and this consistency is great for your toddler. Although saying goodnight to everything in the room may seem boring to the average adult reader, your toddler will delight in the simplistic message and pictures.

Jamberry by Bruce Degen

This book is, admittedly, my favorite picture book. The pictures and imagery are simply phenomenal. I walk away singing the words to this book every time after reading it. It is a super book, and will pull your toddler into a world of bountiful berry bliss! Read this book with them today!

Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi, Illustrated Amanda Mayer Stinchecum

Perfect for those toddlers, this book will amuse and delight them every time. It?s funny and it?s true. ?Everyone Poops? is a great opportunity to bring potty-training issues to face, and learn a thing or two about animals.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle

This is a great book to get your toddler reading! The repetition is a sure-fire way to get them reading along with you. They will learn the text, and say it along with you, or even by themselves. Then, pour on the praise! Kids will love this book if it makes them feel like they can read. Not to mention, the pictures are super fun; kids love Eric Carle books!

Are you My Mother? By P.D. Eastman

This one is a little long, but it?s worth the time. The story has a great theme, and the concept is interesting for toddlers. Pick up a copy and read it with your toddler; they will find the search for the ?real mother? relatable and interesting. The simplistic pictures, and simplistic language makes it a sweet but ?serious? read!

I hope you will check into these great books for toddlers. They have provided me with many great reading memories, and I know they will provide you with the same!

Customer Review: Fun, But Already Broken

We bought this for my son who is too little for the bigger LeapPad. After reading so many good reviews and enjoying other LeapPad products, we were very disappointed when after about 2 weeks of infrequent use, it stopped recognizing the cartridges that go with it. Unfortunately, after Googling the problem, it turns out to be somewhat common for this product. I called their customer service they are going to send me a mailer to return/get a replacement, so I'll update after that. Their customer service rep claimed she had never heard of that problem (which I find a bit suspect after the number of people online who claim to have returned theirs) and asked me three times in a 10 minute call if I was sure the cartridge was for the My First LeapPad, even AFTER I explained to her that it the cartridge I was using had worked fine up to this point.



My son likes this toy, even though at 2 1/2 he can't play with it alone. We are really hoping the replacement works better.

Customer Review: Another Winner!

I bought this for my 4 and 3 year old grandsons. They are having trouble with the sounds of some words. I was hoping that LeapPad would help them both. Well, they are both enjoying it. I have noticed that especially with the 4 year old, it is now easier to understand him when he talks. He likes to set by himself and play with his LeapPad. It is also helping them both with added books I have purchased from LeapFrog. Books that help with learning colors, numbers etc.

LeapFrog is like Sesame Street, you can't grow up without them!

Death Note Movie Size Notebook DN-001D
Customer Review: The Death Note

I was absolutely satisfied with this product. It's amazing to read all the death note rules; there's about 40 pages of them. The koolest part is that it includes the pages with the names Light wrote. It was favorable that they're all exactly as was written, so the japanese doesn't spoil anything. I would recommend this for any Death Note fan.

Customer Review: BRILLIANT..but..

Iv been into DeathNote for some time now and iv always loved the Death Note, it was only after i watched the Death Note film did i really want to buy a Death Note for myself!

This replica is brilliant, amazing packaging, comes perfect condition in bubblerap + a sealed case that has the Death Note inside, This is a perfect buy for any death note fan! accept the kinda false advertising, it says "Death Note MOVIE SIZE notebook" but, after reciving my Death Note i was a little dissapointed, the size of this item is the size of a DVD/ps2/xbox case, stating its a MOVIE SIZE notebook i thought it would litterally be a exact replica that Light has in the film, if you look in the film, the Death Note he has is ALOT bigger then a DVD case, but infact about the size of a A4 pad of paper. That is the only downside with this item, other then that im completly happy with this!

MUST HAVE FOR DEATHNOTE FANS!

Customer Review: Works well for my Mac!

My main concern was this was going to be a PC centric bag with no thought for the Mac. Well, it fits my Macbook Pro just perfectly and safely. I can store all the extras in the outside pocket and have plenty of room for incidentals, as well as have the other side for paperwork I don't want to be turned into premature recyclable pulp. My only wish was they had a genuine Brown, non-dyed version. I could find no other manufacturer making a nicer model in natural color so this seemed to be the best bet. I've had it for a while now and it's been working out just fine.

Customer Review: great case

I received the notebook case in just a few days from my order and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. The service was excellent and I would by from this vendor again.

Customer Review: Do Not Buy this Drive!

Like others reviewing this product, I too, wanted to like this drive. Do not waste your time and money on this product. I have a MacBook Pro and I do a lot of presentations which requires a lot of storage. I thought this drive would fit my needs because it had a small footprint, complimented by computer and had multiple connections (e.g. USB, Firewire). At first the drive seemed fine, and then it started to hang up. It's flashing light went back and forth like a Cylon eye in Battlestar Gallactica. It just would not connect anymore. I was using a firewire connection. I turned the drive off, rebooted the computer and that did not work. I then switched to the USB connection and that worked for a day or so and then the drive did the same thing again. So I switched back to the firewire connection and after a couple of restarts it worked again.



So now I am thinking I have a defective drive, so I order a replacement (not from Amazon but from the Apple Store where I purchased it. I love Amazon don't get me wrong.) The replacement came and did the same exact thing.



My conclusion is that this drive is not reliable and I am not going to trust my files on this drive. I am on Amazon today to find another solution. Please don't let the looks fool you, beauty is truly on the outside of this one and the inside needs some work!

Customer Review: This could be a great drive

I have the exact same problem as the previous reviewer. The drive hangs up and freezes the Mac (Mini Mac running Leopard); and the Mac is indeed "too stupid" to quit trying. I found that if I leave the computer for a few hours and come back the drive is dead and Timemachine is hung.



It can be jump started by unplugging the firewire cable AND the power cable and putting it back together. This frees up the Mac but the drive does not come back. There may be a better way but it seems I have to re-boot the Mac before the drive is recognized and shows up on the desktop again.



I found a firmware upgrade (because of Leopard) on the Western Digital website that I applied. It now hangs and freezes a little differently but in fact still hangs and freezes.



It looks good and WOULD be a great value if it worked. The bottom line is it doesn't work; so don't waste your time, skip this drive and skip the problems; Mac owners deserve better than this.



It does have Firewire 400 and 800, USB2 and eSATA and I found you could reformat it for the PC... I don't know if you'll have the same problems on the Windoze machines but why try? Just pass it up.

Customer Review: The best out there, but has flaws

If there ever was a Haynes guide for a vehicle I own, I got it! I have seen the others from factory shop manuals, Chilton's, etc and they just don't match up.



I have a 2002 Dakota Quad Cab. There are two years before me and one year after me. I feel that the revisions to later model years isn't handled very well. I don't think that it justifies an entire separate manual, but it would be better if alternate diagrams/instructions were there for the later years.



In all, it didn't keep me from getting the jobs done. I would still get this manual over all others for this truck.

I was reading it as first book for most of the topics, It was total waste of time to read it.

Death Note Movie Size Notebook DN-001D



Death Note Movie Size Notebook DN-001D
Customer Review: The Death Note

I was absolutely satisfied with this product. It's amazing to read all the death note rules; there's about 40 pages of them. The koolest part is that it includes the pages with the names Light wrote. It was favorable that they're all exactly as was written, so the japanese doesn't spoil anything. I would recommend this for any Death Note fan.

Customer Review: BRILLIANT..but..

Iv been into DeathNote for some time now and iv always loved the Death Note, it was only after i watched the Death Note film did i really want to buy a Death Note for myself!

This replica is brilliant, amazing packaging, comes perfect condition in bubblerap + a sealed case that has the Death Note inside, This is a perfect buy for any death note fan! accept the kinda false advertising, it says "Death Note MOVIE SIZE notebook" but, after reciving my Death Note i was a little dissapointed, the size of this item is the size of a DVD/ps2/xbox case, stating its a MOVIE SIZE notebook i thought it would litterally be a exact replica that Light has in the film, if you look in the film, the Death Note he has is ALOT bigger then a DVD case, but infact about the size of a A4 pad of paper. That is the only downside with this item, other then that im completly happy with this!

MUST HAVE FOR DEATHNOTE FANS!

Music for the Motion Picture Into the Wild
The young, idealistic Christopher McCandless, played by Emile Hirsch abandons all possessions and life as most of us known it for the Alaskan wilderness. This incredible and intense true story has touched a nerve with millions around the world.

Customer Review: Enjoyed this product, easy listening

The DVD is very easy to listen to and I enjoy it whenever I need something soothing to listen to....Also a great movie!!

Customer Review: Beautiful, Poignant, Powerful

What a beautiful tribute to an amazing story. Eddie Vedder got it right. It's powerful and emotional and timeless. I read the book while listening to the cd and it made it soooo emotional for me. I found myself reading each chapter a few times over...just to keep Chris McCandless alive for a bit longer. Kudos to Eddie Vedder...this is a true soundtrack.

Customer Review: Works well for my Mac!

My main concern was this was going to be a PC centric bag with no thought for the Mac. Well, it fits my Macbook Pro just perfectly and safely. I can store all the extras in the outside pocket and have plenty of room for incidentals, as well as have the other side for paperwork I don't want to be turned into premature recyclable pulp. My only wish was they had a genuine Brown, non-dyed version. I could find no other manufacturer making a nicer model in natural color so this seemed to be the best bet. I've had it for a while now and it's been working out just fine.

Customer Review: great case

I received the notebook case in just a few days from my order and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. The service was excellent and I would by from this vendor again.

E-SATA - USB 2.0 - Firewire 400 and 800 Interface / Mac Formatted Only

Customer Review: Do Not Buy this Drive!

Like others reviewing this product, I too, wanted to like this drive. Do not waste your time and money on this product. I have a MacBook Pro and I do a lot of presentations which requires a lot of storage. I thought this drive would fit my needs because it had a small footprint, complimented by computer and had multiple connections (e.g. USB, Firewire). At first the drive seemed fine, and then it started to hang up. It's flashing light went back and forth like a Cylon eye in Battlestar Gallactica. It just would not connect anymore. I was using a firewire connection. I turned the drive off, rebooted the computer and that did not work. I then switched to the USB connection and that worked for a day or so and then the drive did the same thing again. So I switched back to the firewire connection and after a couple of restarts it worked again.



So now I am thinking I have a defective drive, so I order a replacement (not from Amazon but from the Apple Store where I purchased it. I love Amazon don't get me wrong.) The replacement came and did the same exact thing.



My conclusion is that this drive is not reliable and I am not going to trust my files on this drive. I am on Amazon today to find another solution. Please don't let the looks fool you, beauty is truly on the outside of this one and the inside needs some work!

Customer Review: This could be a great drive

I have the exact same problem as the previous reviewer. The drive hangs up and freezes the Mac (Mini Mac running Leopard); and the Mac is indeed "too stupid" to quit trying. I found that if I leave the computer for a few hours and come back the drive is dead and Timemachine is hung.



It can be jump started by unplugging the firewire cable AND the power cable and putting it back together. This frees up the Mac but the drive does not come back. There may be a better way but it seems I have to re-boot the Mac before the drive is recognized and shows up on the desktop again.



I found a firmware upgrade (because of Leopard) on the Western Digital website that I applied. It now hangs and freezes a little differently but in fact still hangs and freezes.



It looks good and WOULD be a great value if it worked. The bottom line is it doesn't work; so don't waste your time, skip this drive and skip the problems; Mac owners deserve better than this.



It does have Firewire 400 and 800, USB2 and eSATA and I found you could reformat it for the PC... I don't know if you'll have the same problems on the Windoze machines but why try? Just pass it up.

Dodge Durango and Dakota Pick-ups (2000-2003) Repair Manual

Customer Review: The best out there, but has flaws

If there ever was a Haynes guide for a vehicle I own, I got it! I have seen the others from factory shop manuals, Chilton's, etc and they just don't match up.



I have a 2002 Dakota Quad Cab. There are two years before me and one year after me. I feel that the revisions to later model years isn't handled very well. I don't think that it justifies an entire separate manual, but it would be better if alternate diagrams/instructions were there for the later years.



In all, it didn't keep me from getting the jobs done. I would still get this manual over all others for this truck.

Make Money Selling E-books



E-books are electronic versions of printed material that can contain text, sound, and images. The profit potential for selling them is high because start up expenses are low. The biggest expense is purchasing an e-book to resell.


In addition to buying e-books to resell, you can write your own e-books. There are online sources that will take your research and create an e-book for you. Some of these companies even take care of marketing, payments, and shipping.


If you are uncomfortable writing your own e-books, you can purchase them from authors online. Ebay is another source for e-book buying. It is a good idea to purchase e-books with resell rights. This allows customers to resell the e-books they buy from you and creates an incentive for them to do business with you.


Make sure the e-books you buy or write containuseful information and resources. Some e-books are nothing more than ads and sales pitches for the writer's products. These "ad books" will turn off customers and decrease repeat business.


Do some research to determine what people are looking for. Making money selling e-books depends on the topics covered, customer base, and marketing campaign. Research current trends and hot topics and write or purchase an e-book pertaining to this research. Try to cover the newest trends before the competition saturates the market. Keep in mind that you wont make money selling an e-book that nobody wants.


Before buying an e-book to resell, you should search online for the title. If lots of web sites are selling the book, it's probably a popular title and will be a good seller. You can also sell e-books that cater to a specific market niche. Search online forums and other group sites to locate potential target markets for niche titles. You can then contact the members of such a forum and invite them to visit your site. A good tactic would be to offer an incentive such as 20% off first purchase to increase site traffic.


You can sell your e-books on an existing website that you already have or you can create a new website. If you really want to stand out from the competition, then you should create a new website dedicated to selling your e-books. Always add new titles to your stock to keep old customers coming back and to attract new ones. Use email to notify customers of new titles and special sales. You can even offer discounts on slow moving titles.


Affiliate programs are another way to make money selling e-books. The affiliate pays you a commission for selling there e-books. If you are a decent writer, you can write your own e-books and start your own affiliate program.


There are online and print books that will help you learn how to get make some money selling e-books. A good place to begin reading is "Make Your Knowledge Sell," by Ken Evoy and Monique Harris.

The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)



The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)
Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.

Customer Review: Wonderful DVD

I heard a lot of positive things about this DVD/book from some parent message boards that I frequent and decided that I should check it out too. I was a teeny bit skeptical at first but after trying out the techniques on our newborn daughter I was amazed!!! She is almost 6 weeks old now but will sleep almost all the way through the night and can be calmed down almost immediately with the 5 S's. I recommend this to any and all parents of newborns/infants. I can't wait to graduate to the Toddler series =)

Customer Review: very effective

highly effective, practical advise given - we used it routinely on our first born and it worked like a charm. great for first time parents and now that we have a second one coming, we're reviewing it.



would also suggest the book with the same title. Thank you Dr. Karp!!

Customer Review: Un cambio de actitud

Linkin park para no dejarse ver como una banda de Nu Metal o como quieran decirle, cambiaron un poco las líricas dramáticas y se pusieron un poco mas serios, para los que tenemos tiempo escuchandolos nos parecio que no daban la talla pero en si no es un mal albúm sino que no esperabamos eso de ellos.

Customer Review: HORRIBLE

Ok...this album...SUCKS and thats putting it lightly. Long gone are the days of Hybrid Theory and the good mix of rap and rock. This was a waste of my money (which i ran out and bought the limited edition the day it came out). I mean...come on guys seriously who wants to listen to a bunch of whiney emo songs from yet another sellout band? I have lost all respect completely for this band and this album is to blame. Yes it does have evolution but its not a good one. I understand that they arent gonna put out another hybrid theory but could you atleast keep the awesome guitars and the hard rock beat to it? And wheres Mike on this one? It seems he is disapearing from the band which i dont like. All in all i recomend this album to no one who respects rock music its a waste of money

This Hannah Doll is dressed up for an electrifying performance and ready to rock the stage. Press a button to hear her sing her hit song, "The Other Side of Me." Includes Hannah doll in authentic outfits from T.V. show, Hannah Montana, microphone, poster and backstage pass. Requires 4 "AG13" button-cell batteries, included. Measures 13" tall.

Customer Review: another "gotta have" for the Hannah Montana set (meant facetiously)

I wish companies would set these toys to play more of the song. It is very annoying to hear the same two or three bars of an already constantly heard song. This was a Christmas gift, but I haven't seen or heard my daughter playing with this much.

Customer Review: FUN with HANNAH!

My 6yo dd loves playing with this doll. She loves wearing the bracelet that came with it. My only complaint would be the back of her head is lacking hair...but that didn't make a difference with my little girl. She loves it. The doll sings very loud, which was surprising, but at least it's only a small portion of the song. I imagine that we will be collecting ALL the Hannah dolls now...

Customer Review: Worthwile Upgrade

If you are a user or TurboTax Business and Quickbooks, then you will find this a worthwhile upgrade. Additionally, I have been using this version on Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and it is working fine.

Customer Review: WARNING! - QuickBooks is Adware

Unless you like reading pop up ads, don't buy this software. QuickBooks Pro forces you to suffer through a constant barrage of pop up ads for addtional services, products and upgrades. I just spoke to customer service and they told me there is no way to disable this feature. I can understand being forced to read ads for free software, but I am stunned that I am forced to read ads in a piece of software that I paid for. The next time I am forced to upgrade (QuickBooks stops supporting older versions of their software after just a few years) I'll just switch to one of their competitors.

Make sure the e-books you buy or write containuseful information and resources. Some e-books are nothing more than ads and sales pitches for the writer's products. These "ad books" will turn off customers and decrease repeat business.


Do some research to determine what people are looking for. Making money selling e-books depends on the topics covered, customer base, and marketing campaign. Research current trends and hot topics and write or purchase an e-book pertaining to this research. Try to cover the newest trends before the competition saturates the market. Keep in mind that you wont make money selling an e-book that nobody wants.


Before buying an e-book to resell, you should search online for the title. If lots of web sites are selling the book, it's probably a popular title and will be a good seller. You can also sell e-books that cater to a specific market niche. Search online forums and other group sites to locate potential target markets for niche titles. You can then contact the members of such a forum and invite them to visit your site. A good tactic would be to offer an incentive such as 20% off first purchase to increase site traffic.


You can sell your e-books on an existing website that you already have or you can create a new website. If you really want to stand out from the competition, then you should create a new website dedicated to selling your e-books. Always add new titles to your stock to keep old customers coming back and to attract new ones. Use email to notify customers of new titles and special sales. You can even offer discounts on slow moving titles.


Affiliate programs are another way to make money selling e-books. The affiliate pays you a commission for selling there e-books. If you are a decent writer, you can write your own e-books and start your own affiliate program.


There are online and print books that will help you learn how to get make some money selling e-books. A good place to begin reading is "Make Your Knowledge Sell," by Ken Evoy and Monique Harris.

The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)



The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)
Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.

Customer Review: Wonderful DVD

I heard a lot of positive things about this DVD/book from some parent message boards that I frequent and decided that I should check it out too. I was a teeny bit skeptical at first but after trying out the techniques on our newborn daughter I was amazed!!! She is almost 6 weeks old now but will sleep almost all the way through the night and can be calmed down almost immediately with the 5 S's. I recommend this to any and all parents of newborns/infants. I can't wait to graduate to the Toddler series =)

Customer Review: very effective

highly effective, practical advise given - we used it routinely on our first born and it worked like a charm. great for first time parents and now that we have a second one coming, we're reviewing it.



would also suggest the book with the same title. Thank you Dr. Karp!!

Customer Review: Un cambio de actitud

Linkin park para no dejarse ver como una banda de Nu Metal o como quieran decirle, cambiaron un poco las líricas dramáticas y se pusieron un poco mas serios, para los que tenemos tiempo escuchandolos nos parecio que no daban la talla pero en si no es un mal albúm sino que no esperabamos eso de ellos.

Customer Review: HORRIBLE

Ok...this album...SUCKS and thats putting it lightly. Long gone are the days of Hybrid Theory and the good mix of rap and rock. This was a waste of my money (which i ran out and bought the limited edition the day it came out). I mean...come on guys seriously who wants to listen to a bunch of whiney emo songs from yet another sellout band? I have lost all respect completely for this band and this album is to blame. Yes it does have evolution but its not a good one. I understand that they arent gonna put out another hybrid theory but could you atleast keep the awesome guitars and the hard rock beat to it? And wheres Mike on this one? It seems he is disapearing from the band which i dont like. All in all i recomend this album to no one who respects rock music its a waste of money

Hannah Montana "In Concert Collection" Deluxe Singing w/ "The Other Side of Me"



Hannah Montana "In Concert Collection" Deluxe Singing w/ "The Other Side of Me"
This Hannah Doll is dressed up for an electrifying performance and ready to rock the stage. Press a button to hear her sing her hit song, "The Other Side of Me." Includes Hannah doll in authentic outfits from T.V. show, Hannah Montana, microphone, poster and backstage pass. Requires 4 "AG13" button-cell batteries, included. Measures 13" tall.

Customer Review: another "gotta have" for the Hannah Montana set (meant facetiously)

I wish companies would set these toys to play more of the song. It is very annoying to hear the same two or three bars of an already constantly heard song. This was a Christmas gift, but I haven't seen or heard my daughter playing with this much.

Customer Review: FUN with HANNAH!

My 6yo dd loves playing with this doll. She loves wearing the bracelet that came with it. My only complaint would be the back of her head is lacking hair...but that didn't make a difference with my little girl. She loves it. The doll sings very loud, which was surprising, but at least it's only a small portion of the song. I imagine that we will be collecting ALL the Hannah dolls now...

Customer Review: Worthwile Upgrade

If you are a user or TurboTax Business and Quickbooks, then you will find this a worthwhile upgrade. Additionally, I have been using this version on Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and it is working fine.

Customer Review: WARNING! - QuickBooks is Adware

Unless you like reading pop up ads, don't buy this software. QuickBooks Pro forces you to suffer through a constant barrage of pop up ads for addtional services, products and upgrades. I just spoke to customer service and they told me there is no way to disable this feature. I can understand being forced to read ads for free software, but I am stunned that I am forced to read ads in a piece of software that I paid for. The next time I am forced to upgrade (QuickBooks stops supporting older versions of their software after just a few years) I'll just switch to one of their competitors.
