Wed, 18 May 2005 19:11:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - For the person who’s never been to L.A., LOS ANGELES Where Anything is Possible by Larry Brownstein will offer both a macro and a micro view. You’ll be exposed to several, yet very different, angles of the L.A. skyline. Mr. Brownstein works like...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 -

Who cares how this gem of engineering works, I just like to open, look at, and close my new Palm Portable Keyboard. I almost giggle when I observe the awesome design of this little package.

That's just what it is, too, a very little...

Certainly Not a Question of Need

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 15:53:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - Just what do you need a Palm Pilot for anyway?

That’s not the point, is it? It’s just fun!

This Cast Away is a KEEPER!

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 21:30:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - I won’t spoil anything by giving away too much of the movie for those of you haven’t yet seen Cast Away. I’m assuming you’re reading this to decide whether you should see it. Let me help.

I made efforts to avoid previews, websites,...

I can’t identify, but I was educated

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 01:12:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - This was assigned reading for a graduate class in a clinical psychology program. I never would have read this book on my own. It’s a novel about spouse abuse . . . a battered wife . . . domestic violence. That’s not the kind of novel I would read on...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - Carly Simon was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 1997. She had just released Film Noir, a collection of old movie music that contained only one song of Carly’s creation, and even that was a collaboration with someone else (see my review of...

Hear movies on CD with Carly Simon!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - Carly Simon’s Film Noir is not her original work, but even for us Carly fans, it can please the socks off us. If you’re a big Carly fan, you’ll miss her original lyrics packed with meaning (much of which you realize is only understood by her, but...

Well-done, but left me dissatisfied

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - Plot details: This review discusses MAJOR details of the plot.

Ok, I wasn’t going to review this movie until “Grouch” did, and now I’m on the spot. However much I respect Grouch’s reviews (which is a LOT!), my taste apparently differs...

My best experience with auto insurance!

Wed, 24 May 2000 18:39:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - I’m so happy I listened to my wife this time! She first heard about Wawanesa Insurance from a TV consumer advocate. Because the name was unknown to me, I hesitated. However, when their quote was about $400 less than what we were paying, we signed...

Wed, 17 May 2000 21:00:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - I do not have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but I clearly have OC traits in my personality. With me, it's not a "disorder" severe enough to interfere with my life. Maybe that is why I LOVED this book so much . . . its concepts are...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - Ofoto had a great idea, but it seems they were not prepared for the huge response they received!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Yalum85 - I shopped around for a scanner before I purchased the Plustek 9636T, and I have not regretted my purchase once! (I've had it for more than a year!)
