Often this happens during work hours and,by the time I get there, most... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403470388868 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 23:13:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403470388868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_402895376004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I don't do chick flicks well. I much rather prefer action movies. Give me a good car chase and lots of special effects and we're on. So in order for a "romantic" comedy to hold my attention, it must combine acting talent with good directing and a great... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402895376004 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 18:27:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402895376004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_402820075140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - This review has been sitting around for quite some time. I simply wasn't sure if my, sometimes inadequate, words could do it justice. I've edited it several times and then decided to take my cue from Writer/Director Frank Darabont. He must have gone... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402820075140 Sun, 9 Sep 2007 20:42:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402820075140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_402803035780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - This is my third attempt at trying to review this movie. The first two created an immense writer's block halfway through the first paragraph. Not because I didn't have anything to say about the movie, but because it was so bad, I didn't know how to say... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402803035780 Sun, 9 Sep 2007 16:23:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402803035780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_402725441156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - Dang it, I should have never started writing in the music category. Now I feel obligated to review an actual album instead of just my top ten list :-) This review is for the Vinyl version of this album. After talking to one of the advisors in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402725441156 Sat, 8 Sep 2007 16:04:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402725441156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401704324740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - THIS IS AN EXTENSIVE RE-WRITE OF MY EARLIER REVIEW. FEEL FREE TO RE-RATE. The past year was a little rough. Between divorce and having to start all over again, thoughts of dating didn't even enter my head. Little by little, as things like work, a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401704324740 Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:18:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401704324740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219771670148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I am a big fan of many Clinique Products, but I like to try new things before I buy the full size version. During a recent shopping spree I received a very generous sample of Clinique's soft pressed powder blusher. My sample contains two shades... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219771670148 Sat, 4 Feb 2006 11:46:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219771670148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_218937265796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I'm a big fan of certain Febreze products, but I had yet to try their new Febreze NOTICEables. Unlike other air fresheners, NOTICEables offer a dual scent. It's kind of like getting two for the price of one. In order to use the NOTICEables, you have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~218937265796 Thu, 26 Jan 2006 11:43:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_218937265796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210435804804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - Every once in a while I like to break out of my mold and read a book that is way out of my usual mystery/spy novel genre. At times that doesn't go so well, because I either get bored with the subject, the style or the author, but sometimes I find... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210435804804 Sun, 6 Nov 2005 18:21:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210435804804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209754623620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - Living in the Country sometimes has great advantages over living in the City. With a few hundred acres as our backyard and nature reserves all around us, we have plenty of playground to hunt, fish and have fun outdoors. All the guys in my family hunt... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209754623620 Sun, 30 Oct 2005 01:30:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209754623620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209699114628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I don't think there is anyone that hasn't thought about permanently getting rid of one or two politicians. In Vince Flynn's Term Limits, a group of people do just that. Ticked of just enough by the inefficiency and lies of politicians, they kill... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209699114628 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 11:23:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209699114628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209673293444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I color-treat my hair frequently and it also tends towards greasiness just a bit. To find a shampoo that combats the "greasies" and doesn't strip the color of my hair is my mission in life. I thought I had found the solution with Paul Mitchell's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209673293444 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 00:45:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209673293444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_201830862468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I usually don't swear as part of my reviews, but the ending of "Darkside" had me alternating between a mild "I can't believe it" and a riproaring "What the F..". P.T. Deutermann is a new author for me and initially I passed by his books several... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~201830862468 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 02:59:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_201830862468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_200685817476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - Tess Gerritsen has long been a favorite author of mine. Despite her multiple "serial" detectives, she always makes them appear fresh and new. "Vanish", her newest novel is no exception to this rule. Once again I meet up with Jane Rizzoli. But this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~200685817476 Sun, 9 Oct 2005 16:12:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_200685817476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197520232068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - After reading several of Faye Kellerman's novels, I was a bit hesitant to pick up "Straight into Darkness". Kellerman's "over the top" charactes are not always to my liking and the way she crams Judaism down my throat in the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197520232068 Sun, 2 Oct 2005 11:59:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197520232068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197150936708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I find it absolutely mindboggling how certain Corporate Bigwigs can spend a few years running a Company into the ground and then walk away a few million dollars richer. The Enron scandal hammers that truth home in spades. Kurt Eichenwald is a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197150936708 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 00:17:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197150936708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195946516100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - When I came to the US from Germany about (gasp!) 20 years ago, I wasn't exactly new to the english language. But there were gaps in my vocabulary and I wasn't quite sure how to fix that. In the beginning I just listened to the people around... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195946516100 Mon, 12 Sep 2005 10:52:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195946516100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195853258372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - I found "Countryside and Small Stock Journal" in my mailbox about six months ago. Courtesy of a complimentary subscription, I now can read everything about modern homesteading. The magazine is released every two month. It's lay-out is pretty much the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195853258372 Sun, 11 Sep 2005 10:38:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195853258372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194690059908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - This book contains strong sexual language, I tried not to let this carry over into the review My librarian is usually pretty good when it comes to recommending books. Last week she asked me to read a book that someone had donated to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194690059908 Tue, 30 Aug 2005 00:14:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194690059908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194432306820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - Certain authors have the talent to draw the reader in from the first few words and Sanghoee is one of them.

The stench of charred flesh was overpowering, but the two men standing over him... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194432306820 Sat, 27 Aug 2005 13:51:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194432306820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194220625540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - My son brought this book home for a High School reading assignment. I ended up reading it and with each page I got more and more infuriated with the "Poverty Wannabe" Barbara Ehrenreich. Barbara Ehrenreich is a well-educated, financially well off... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194220625540 Thu, 25 Aug 2005 09:22:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194220625540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194076446340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - Sometimes it's nice to buy something I don't really need. It's even better when I don't have to shell out a penny and still get all the goodies. Clinique's last Gift with Purchase (GWP) event brought me another bag full of goodies.

I'm not a diehard Kellerman fan, but most of his books are good enough to deflect boredom and some of them are outright page turners. "Survival of the fittest" does not fit into either of these... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~193898385028 Mon, 22 Aug 2005 10:09:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_193898385028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_192865865348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author germank106 - With dogs, cats, kittens and lots of children running through the house, my vacuum cleaner sees almost daily action.

It's not perfect yet, but little by little scientists are able to decode information that simply was not available ten or so years ago. The decoding of this information has led to some women... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~192529206916 Tue, 9 Aug 2005 02:12:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_192529206916?linkin_id=8003929
