Great right from the start

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 16:19:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - Being a new mom, I wasn't sure when my baby was going to be ready for a toy like this. I was actually surprised to find that she liked it almost immediately (well, ok, 6 weeks, but that felt like immediately to me). Basically, as soon as she was...

Google: Tired of Irrelevant Hits- Use Google

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 16:48:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I am on the web 8+ hours a day for my job as a news producer for a science tv show. I often need to find people by their name alone, or find information about some obscure scientific research. I would be lost without google.

For ages I had...

Wow - What Amazing Beans You Have!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 19:06:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - First, let me say that I have been a devout Starbucks fan - until now.

My future husband brought home a pound of Peet's coffee that he'd bought on the internet, because someone had brought some into the office. He just raved about it, and...

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 18:36:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I was recently in the market for a new coffee maker, my Mr. Coffee from college having given up the ghost after a year of moderate use... so this time, I wanted a "real" coffee maker - one that I would impress my future in-laws when they come to visit...

Heart Skipping Fun! Great Alternative to Lurching Coasters

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 14:38:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - Ok - I really enjoy roller-coasters, but I tend to get sick on the really big ones... so the tower of terror was a nice alternative.

It has all of the stomach dropping trill of a roller-coaster ride, without the side-to-side motion that...

It actually worked! I'm amazed

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 13:07:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I have never used a lot of beauty products for a couple of reasons. One is because I have pretty normal skin, and have never really needed anything to keep my skin looking healthy. And another is that all of those I have tried have left me pretty...

Way to fly

Thu, 22 Feb 2001 16:16:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I started flying US Air because my boyfriend used them all the time for travel. Plus, we're on the East Coast - where US Air has it's hubs - and most of it's main routes.

When I joined the US Air frequent flier program I figured it would be...

Philips TiVo PTV 300 Digital Recorder: I'm a convert

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 17:28:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I love this new toy!

My fiance desperately wanted a Tivo after his friend bought one, and I was very against it. I really didn't think we needed yet another gadget to add to our growing pile of dvd, cd, vhs and other electronic equipment...

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 10:42:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I read Salzman's Iron and Silk ten years ago in school - and to this day I still think it is one of the best and most moving books I have read.

The book was assigned as part of a year-long curriculum on China - to prepare my class for the trip...

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 18:07:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - OK- I'm going to have to break this review into parts, or it will be too long - this one will focus on Hanover's restaurants - of which there is a wide selection.

I'm from the West Coast (Seattle), and when I told my friends I was going to New...

For Those Of Us Who Missed Roman History Class

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 14:50:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I can't remember why I initially picked this book up since it's not my usual fare. I like historical fiction - but tend to gravitate toward English, Scottish and Irish histories. I think I had just finished The Thorn Birds, and was looking for...

Outlets with Ambiance

Mon, 29 May 2000 18:49:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - Ok - If you're looking for serious Outlet shopping, Freeport probably isn't what you want. It does not have quite the outlet selection of Kittery, Maine - or some of the larger Outlet areas in the country - but it certainly has more ambiance - Not to...

Sat, 6 May 2000 19:50:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - Williamsburg is one of those destinations that is great for a weekend, and if you live in the DC area, it's a pretty quick getaway. It can be romantic if you are going as a couple, is fun as a family, and even as a group of friends looking to do...

Bought This The Day It Came Out

Thu, 4 May 2000 14:07:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I bought my Dreamcast because there were two games I was just dying to play... Soul Caliber, and Crazy Taxi. I had to wait two months for Crazy Taxi to come out - but it was worth the wait.

Dell Inspiron 5000 R500LO: Wonderful, Light, Good Price

Tue, 2 May 2000 18:30:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - I bought my Dell Inspiron 5000 notebook two months ago, and already you can get a bigger screen, more memory and who knows what else for the same amount I paid ($2300) - but that's the way the computer cookie crumbles.

That being said - this...

Better than TV - Maybe

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 22:08:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author producer - Boarding school is a great setting for a movie - I mean, you have a bunch of horny teenagers with little supervision, and a lot of time to get into all kinds of innocuous trouble. So I thought "Outside Providence" which is set at a boarding...

Not Your Average Action Flick

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 21:49:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - After watching this movie I had to stop a minute to decide whether I liked it. The indecision wasn't because of a flaw with the film, but because of the complex story, and mixture of humor and human tragedy the film encapsulates.

My final...

The two main characters, Pug and Tomas, were very likeable - but I...

A Must Read for Ender's Fans

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 18:08:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - You don't have to have read "Ender's Game" before tackling this book - but I highly recommend it. Since they are parallel novels (taking place at approximately the same time) you simply get two different views of the same basic story......

The Psychology of Training for War

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 17:32:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author producer - If you are at all interested in psychology, and like science fiction, you'd like this book. It's more than another good science fiction story, it deals a lot with personality development and leadership skills. I've read the book three times (usually in...

Nelson DeMille at His Best

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 15:34:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author producer - This is far and away Nelson DeMille's best work. I've read several of his other books, and with the exception of "the key to Rebecca," was not very impressed.

The Charm School however, is a wonderful novel about how the spy game is...
