My favorite album in the world

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:56:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - Wow. Picked this up in Hawaii because of the beautiful scenery on the cover, and am I glad I did! Ho'okena has a unique sound--contemporary, soothing, and traditional at the same time. The chanting blows me away and I listen to that track every...

Cooperative play is disappointing

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:50:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - For some reason, during co-op play, one person gets to be a superhero and one person is a robot. Why can't we both be heros? In order to progress through some rooms you have to figure out this irritating ring puzzle. Not clear what the goal of the game...

Not really cooperative play

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:46:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - The box says this can be a multiplayer game, but not really. The "multiplayer" options only let you do stupid stuff like fight each other and kick bunnies. (HUH???) The main game, which looks pretty cool, is only for one player. Very misleading!...

Good for cheese and hard vegetables

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:41:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - I hate slicing cheese, so this product is wonderful. You slide the chunk of cheese back and forth and it slices up pretty uniformly, depending on the hardness of the cheese. Softer cheeses don't work so well, nor do ripe tomatoes. They squish rather...

Sorta dries lettuce

Sun, 15 Jan 2006 09:25:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - I seem to be the only reviewer not enthralled with this thing. Yes, the pump makes it easier to use than another brand I own with a crank/handle. But this one does spin as fast, and hence does not dry off the lettuce as well as my older but smaller...

Grainy milk, difficult to clean

Sun, 30 Oct 2005 20:25:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - I read somewhere that Carrageenan, used in most store-bought soymilks as a thickener, is not good, so I decided to try making my own soy milk and purchased the Soyajoy after reading favorable reviews. The unit arrived promptly and was well-packaged...

clogged filter

Sun, 30 Oct 2005 20:08:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - Somewhere I read that this handheld has really good suction power, so I purchased it to help with kitchen crumbs and household kitty litter. I emptied it regularly and cleaned the filter, but even so, the filter quickly became very dirty. I guess that...

SkinStore.com: Check the guarantee period!

Tue, 18 Oct 2005 23:54:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - I ordered two very expensive items from this store because I read somewhere on the site that there was a 60-day money-back guarantee. Since I live on a military base overseas, the shipping took about two weeks to get to me. I then tried the products...

hard to clean

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 20:35:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - Calphalon pans have to be handwashed, so don't think this is going to make clean-up easy! I have scrubbed and scrubbed but cannot get this pan and rack clean of stains. We now wrap the whole thing in foil before we use it. Very large--we have to store...

BEWARE--NOT DISHWASHER SAFE

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 20:27:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - I found out the hard way that these pans do not stand up to dishwashing. One pan has the coating completely flaking off and Calphalon will not honor the warranty, even though it did not say on the box to hand-wash ONLY...

Touching and informative

Fri, 2 Aug 2002 13:15:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - This is a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of making a documentary film about a captive wolf pack in Idaho. As with any project, there are always unplanned trials and tribulations, as well as enlightening and cherished moments.

disappointing

Tue, 9 Jul 2002 22:48:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - Since I always seem to burn myself ironing, I decided to try a steamer instead. I envisioned removing wrinkles with a few swipes of the steambrush across the fabric, and moving on with my busy life. Not so.

While the steam does remove some...

Shedding light on a hidden problem

Tue, 9 Jul 2002 22:28:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drumturtle - Finally--a book that focuses on girl bullies! As a school counselor, I have always been extremely frustrated with the problem of girls ostracizing others, writing "slam books," or spreading vicious rumors. Once kids start repeating that "Betty sucked...
