I've been through a number of them in the nearly 3 years since my daughter arrived. I have yet to find one that does not lead to at least some level of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480056217220 Tue, 4 Aug 2009 18:01:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480056217220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_479572823684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - I've had my Vado for just a few days so these are just my initial thoughts. I purchased it from Amazon for about $140, a really great price and half of what I paid for my Canon Elura camcorder a few years ago. I like the Elura, it works well and the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~479572823684 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:35:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_479572823684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476437319300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - This is such a great concept and I really had high hopes for this "game". The whole idea of making exercise fun is obviously appealing to everyone. But EA Sports Active has some really serious flaws that ultimately make it more frustrating than anything... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476437319300 Mon, 6 Jul 2009 10:51:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476437319300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466150461060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - Below is an update to my original review...Initially I was pretty happy with this monitor, as detailed in my original review below.

We have a 2 year old who was very colic-y and we really had a hard time with her.

It was quite inexpensive, about $20, and it serves well as a back-up monitor. But it really isn't a good choice for an every day monitor. Our every day monitor is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415865409156 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:04:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415865409156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400071495300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - I can't say enough good things about Dr. Karp and the Happiest Baby concept. My wife and I have a 7 month old girl who is now an absolute joy. She is our first child and those early days, weeks and months were hard--very, very hard.

SEE THE END OF THIS MESSAGE FOR NEW INFO. UPDATED AGAIN ON 5/11. Many others have given a good description of what this product does, so I'll keep the summary short.

Seeing it reminded me a bit of seeing "Lost in Translation", a horribly overhyped film that disappointed in a big way. But where... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~251032080004 Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:48:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_251032080004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_248432463492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - REVIEW UPDATED 6/1/07--SEE END OF REVIEW FOR UPDATE My wife and I have had LG phones for a while and we've been very happy with them.

So it was a fairly big surprise to have such an unpleasant stay there! First, I should point out that my wife and had unfortunately booked our trip during the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~242126524036 Fri, 14 Jul 2006 16:59:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_242126524036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_226941177476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - My wife & I stayed at this hotel twice in 2005, most recently in the summer of '05. If you're bidding for a hotel on Priceline in this area it is considered a "4-star" hotel, but it is anything but. From the outside, the hotel looks like an office... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~226941177476 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 16:02:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_226941177476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210702995076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - If you done any research on a CR-V, then you know the basics--it is reliable, holds its value very well (which makes it hard to find one at a reasonable price), good gas mileage (actually, just about 20 MPG, ok but definitely not great), etc etc. My wife... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210702995076 Wed, 9 Nov 2005 11:24:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210702995076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185441160836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - UPDATE #3--November 2007: I've been a subscriber to the Yahoo Music Unlimited service for quite some time now.

We still love the ring, as described in my review below which I wrote back in August. However, the main diamond became loose about 2 weeks ago.

I was thrilled, but I was a bit skeptical that the hotel would not be all it was cracked up to be. It is, after all, described on Priceline as a 4-star hotel.

My girlfriend and I had just gotten engaged, so we thought it would be nice to splurge and try it out. Making reservations was a breeze through their web site.

When I saw the commercials, I thought the premise of "Dodgeball" seemed silly, but in a good way. My girlfriend and I thought it would be a great summer night movie--mindless and fun... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147571510916 Tue, 13 Jul 2004 17:50:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147571510916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147190943364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bofnyc - My girlfriend bought me a gift subscription to Netflix about 6 months ago and I was very quickly hooked.

Quite simply, the service is HORRIBLE. I'm in New York City and I've been using the service for 3-4 years now.
