Review title: DOES NOT WORK with HP printers Product review: I bought this paper because it said it was compatible with HP inkjet printers. IT'S NOT! The black ink never dries to the paper and smears everywhere. I emailed the company about this problem and this is the response I got:"We believe to know the reason although we don't own a 1610 printer to prove.Your printer has dye based Vivera inks for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow and pigmented ink for Black. Our inkjet media you have is still the previous version of the Smooth Pearl Product which didn't perform well with the Vivera pigmented inks (in your case the Black). We launched this summer a new improved Smooth Pearl Paper that is now also compatible to the Vivera pigmented inks. Thus we propose that you switch to the new version IGSPP11."They didn't even give me a coupon for the new paper...I doubt it even works. WASTE OF MONEY!

Product review: Just watched this as a rental: This movie was so slow and awful, I fell asleep! The first problem I had with the movie was that if it was Alabama in 1863, why on earth was there a woman in the "gang" and a black man, especially a black man with a gun!?? I guess I like a little continuity with my "period" movies... And not a single character had any accent at all!The "scares" were pretty run of the mill and almost none existant.I felt the acting was fairly wooden and stodgy.When you start to critisize a movie within the first 5 minutes of the opening, you know it's going to be a long run of boredom.

Review title: Program Crashes Very Frequently Product review: I bought this SW to burn VHS source material onto DVDs. Prior to burning, the program performs its rendering of the clips. 9 times out of 10 the program hangs after a few hours of rendering. The one time it did not hang, I killed the program since it was only 10% done with a two hour video after 4 hours of processing. The Product is useless!I am using Windows XP and have 1 GHz Pentium 4 Processor.

Review title: Long, dry, and disappointing Product review: It is very frustrating to give this book 2 stars because it deserves more. The concept and scope of the book is fascinating, however, the execution leave much to be desired. In talking with several people about this book we all came to the same conclusion, the book is too long. Diamond repeatedly brings up interesting points and then repeatedly beats them into the ground. A neat idea that can be covered in 3 pages, instead takes 15. After the first 100 pages yout get what he is talking about, but there is still another 300 pages to go. Unfortunately I can't recommend this book to anyone, because it is too painful to read.

Review title: Happily Ever After indeed! Product review: This is a delightful seafaring romp featuring a refreshingly non-wimpy heroine and a gruffy but good-natured hero. The relationship between the hero and heroine is well-done, with just the right blend of passion and laughter.Indeed, while Sophia's bungling around the "Miss Deed" may be a bit hard to swallow, she makes up for it with a healthy dose of spunkiness and fire. And Jack is an intelligent and kind man despite his bluster.When I finish this book with a big smile, why, yes, I'd call this a keeper. Jack and Sophia are indeed two of the funniest and well, perfect romantic leads I've ever read. It is easy to believe a happily ever after for them.One thing though: the cover depicts a nice garden scene. The closest thing to a garden in this book is the Yukatan forest. What is the art department thinking?

Review title: A musical masterpiece Product review: The soothing music of jazz artist Herb Alpert has always had the ability to relax me regardless of what mood I am in. His hits like "Whipped Cream" and "A Taste of Honey" are undoubtedly his masterpieces. Perhaps if I had to choose one single favorite song of his, it would be "Rise". This song, in my opinion, is his greatest ever solo hit ever.I would encourage anyone who enjoys listening to light jazz to purchase this CD immediately. It is a worthwild investment.
