Unfortunately, a self-descriptive title

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 22:39:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - This is a great series, and I know that diverse readers have found it satisfying. Unfortunately, the characters of Lynley & Havers are treated like cardboard in this entry, and only their "up from the street" sidekick does much more than walk and talk...

St. Elsewhere: nowhere else

Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:13:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - Few are the '80's programs that are not dated for kids, the dramas often making obsolete references or cultural assumptions, and many of the sitcoms simply 30 minutes of boring, tedious one-liners, often uttered by unsympathetic characters, that the...

St. Ives Vitamin E Therapy Lotion

Sun, 18 Feb 2001 19:45:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - No listing for this one, but the pump bottle and size (18 oz) make it especially helpful in winter. My legs itch the second after I shave them if I don't use this. I dash out of the shower and slather it on. Instant relief. It has to be this version,...

AlphaSmart 3000: Don't write home without it

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 18:41:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - I got an AlphaSmart 3000 for my husband, the not terribly computer literate writer, who rides a lot of mass transit. It is everything he wants except that the keyboard has no backlight in low light situations and once, during a train ride, an entire long...

More for the money

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 21:00:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - Now that the G4s are out, prices on the older iMacs should fall. If you get a chance to pick up this one for a reasonable price, do it.

You know the basics. Graphite color, cube design, speakers, built in modem, headphone jack, teensy...

Wildly improbable justice

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 20:24:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - Although organ sales and sadistic torture are the stuff of bestsellers, this book fails to capitalize on these motifs. Early on, the organ banking issue disappears and is replaced by a wildly improbable plot, fueled by inadequate knowledge of detection...

1994 Accord LX Wagon

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 17:55:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - I bought this car after my 1988 Civic wagon was totaled (the latter a car I could not recommend to anyone who hopes to live through a side impact collision, which I barely did).

It has dual airbags and side impact beams, which I think were...

UH: Less Respect than It Deserves

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 17:28:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - Ironically, in some ways UH is probably better known outside Houston than in, for its basketball and footfall teams of yesteryear.

Inside Houston, alums throw their diplomas in a box and go on with their often very prosperous lives, although...

UT School of Public Health

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 17:08:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - The MPH, MS, Ph.D. and DrPH programs at UT SPH are excellent. There's also a joint JD program with the University of Houston, and a joint MD with the Med School.

This is a very interdisciplinary, noncompetitive (no grades; you get a written...

Cruise West's Spirit of Alaska

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 22:13:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - I don't see this cruise line or this ship in the hierarchy, so I'll put it here. This is a small ship, holds about 80 passengers. We took an 8 day cruise from Juneau to Seattle during the summer. We also spent a couple of days in Juneau before the cruise...

Beware the package...

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 02:08:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lgelb - This wasn't my idea, but it was a family reunion type thing. I knew the decor would be tacky, I didn't expect a lot of activities that meant anything to me (I'm not a lounge lizard, gambler or dancer), and basically the ship was a floating hotel to me,...
