This is a must have for any Cricut owner. This does the job very well. I would prefer for it to be narrower, but as is, it works for my needs.

I agree with another reviewer who stated this should be included with the Cricut. It is a necessary tool and prevents tears, particularly when cutting intricate shapes. It is also awesome for scooping up little cutouts that would otherwise be so stuck to the mat they'd be mangled. When I am cutting, I get annoyed trying to get cutouts off the mat without this tool- usually resorting to bending the mat and trying to catch an edge with a fingernail. While I think this is a necessary cricut accessory, I also appreciate that it is sold seperately as I have purchased several. When friends come to craft or my kids use the Cricut with me, it is nice to have several on hand. The spatula functions very well and the original one I bought still looks and works like new even after a couple years of use and abuse. This is not a great tool to clean leftover scraps off the mats, however. It is time consuming to pick individual pieces off the mat and cricut makes a triangular scraper tool that is much better for getting the little bits left behind. Yes, Cricut is waging a war of attrition against the bank accounts of their loyal customers- but I've come to accept that its par for the course in the scrapbooking/crafting industry. Still, I do love my Cricut as it allows me to take my projects to a whole other level and I get a ton of use and satisfaction out of it making things for my kids classes, cards, invitations. If you have made the investment in a Cricut, it seems like it is more than worthwhile to drop a few dollars here and there for accessories that improve functionality and efficiency. This is a must have tool if you have a cricut.

This is a must have for any Cricut owner! It helps separate the paper from the tacky cutting mat without damaging what you just cut. But I also use it for other crafts...

I got this as a gift with my new Cricut, someone told my husband it was a must have and I agree. It makes removing my creations much easier. Maybe a kitchen tool could be used but this is worth it.

If you use a Cricut machine, you need the spatula. ProvoCraft should include it with the machine, as everyone needs one. It's well made, and it is essential.

easy to clean, but if you have so much as a drop of liquid left in this coffee mug it will find it's way out. Used it for a long time before giving up hope. Doesn't retain heat that well either, but is easy to drink out of and comfortable to hold. Wouldn't recommend it, however

I was looking for a mug that I could put in the dishwasher and I am very pleased with this one! I have not put it in the microwave, but it has held up through several dishwasher washings, I am satisfied with how warm/cold it keeps my beverages and it fits in the cupholder in my car with no problems. It isn't leak proof, but as long as it is kept upright, there aren't any problems. I have had mugs leak from the seam (between the cup and lid) before, this one has no problems like that. I plan on getting another in a different color.

Great tumblers. Microwave/dishwasher safe, spill resistant (not spill proof mind you) cups that are also environmentally friendly. They also maximize the amount you can take with you and expect to fit in the average car cup holder. I think you would have to be using a rather small microwave in order for it not to fit, but I think medium to large sized microwaves shouldn't give you any trouble. It is true that they don't provide perfect insulation, but I can't say in the many travel mugs I've used over the years that they are any worse. I find they keep things warm for several hours, but if you're expecting boiling hot, you won't be happy and I'd recommend buying one that is electric that plugs in to keep things hot.

I was looking for a BPA-free beverage bottle that was also dishwasher-safe, and this product was one of very few that I could find. So, with not many choices I bought it. So far, product seems to hold up in dishwasher as stated.

Bought this for my wife. She just recently became hooked on coffee. I asked her how she liked it after just a few weeks. She said that she really liked it. In fact, sometimes she would leave it out in the cold car over night then fill it with hot coffee the next morning and the coffee stayed hot. She did say that the shut off lid does not prevent liquid from coming out when it is turned over, but it does slow it down. I told her to not spill it!

The 2-set CD recordings make wonderful listening when you want a variety, and don't have several hours to listen to an opera from beginning to end. The booklet is so handy when reading about a particular, but unfamilar, piece. The font is a bit small for my eyes (the reason for 4 stars), but still a great reference source.

I like opera but I am "opera challenged." This was a gift for my niece who is an avid opera fan. She told me that the book is great. There is so much information covering so many operas. It is a great reference book for all times.

We have loved Opera for years; but, had never been to one. Nor did we know anything really about the composer's or the story of the Operas. This has quickly become our favorite; we bought a second copy for our car and listen to it on trips. As a result of reading the book that comes with it; and, listening to the CD's, we have since bought several full length Opera's for our listening pleasure. But these two CDs are our favorites, one of them is almost always in or near our music system. If you can only afford one purchase about opera, this should be it. We have bought three other copies and given them as gifts to friends.

I wanted to learn about opera and found the A-Z of Opera CD and book. I couldn't believe it when they got here. The price for the CD alone was a bargain, but this book is fantastic. It has the the complete A-Z of Opera from the Naxos website. That's plot synopses, cast lists and background details for hudreds of operas, plus a lot of other information. I've received a lot of enjoyment from this set. I'm sure that Opera lovers would appreciate it and I know that it is perfect for those who would like to learn Opera.

Oh, such letter-perfect perfection! This marvel features a two-hour-plus showcase of well-known arias from "Cosi Fan Tuti," "Aida," "Carmen," "Madame Butterfly" and "The Barber of Seville." It also comes with a book --- 762 pages of remarkable facts, figures and illustrations.Encore!

This is a compilation of Renee Fleming's best works. I got it primarily for Rusalka's song to the Moon (O Silver Moon) but all the other arias are just perfect. She sings her classic, "Summertime" from Porgy & Bess (another of my favorites) so perfectly and "You'll Never Walk Alone" (she even sang this one at Barak Obama's inauguration ceremony. If you want to hear some of the most famous arias sung so beautifully, you should get this CD.

On the evidence of this disc, Renee Fleming is like the little girl in the old nursery rhyme. " When she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid." This CD is a mixture of the beautiful, the dull, and the mediocre. Her Puccini is strangely lackluster. There must be a dozen more moving versions available of "O mio babbino caro" and "Un bel di". Her Violetta is downright poor. Part of the problem lies in the choice of items. Her singing of the Rachmaninov and the Villa-Lobos is pretty undistinguished, but neither of these does much for me anyway, however well-sung. Then there is "Summertime". Inevitably. Why does every soprano feel obliged to include this dreary song on every recital disc? "You'll never walk alone" is bad. Admittedly, this is Rogers and Hammerstein at their sickliest, but her version of "Hello, young lovers", a much better song (on her CD with Bryn Terfel, "Under the stars) is absolutely awful. Some opera singers can do "crossover" and sing Broadway and popular standards convincingly, but too many think they can when they can't. So why give this collection more than one star? Three tracks are worth the price of this disc and more. The excerpt from "Manon" is great, splendid music splendidly sung. The lovely Dvorak aria has been recorded dozens of times, but this is the best version I have ever heard. But the Korngold,"Marietta's Lied", is breathtaking.This is achingly beautiful singing of one of the most beautiful soprano arias ever written. Renee Fleming can sing like an angel when she makes wise musical and artistic choices, but can seem no more than ordinary when she does not. Both sides are shown on this CD.

This is my favorite album!!! I use it to mellow out, or just listen to her magnificent voice. I've passed on a few of her other albums, but if I lost this one, I'd buy it over and over again.

The female voice is an instrument that is second to none and Renee knows how to play it.You might think you dont care for opera but pick and choose what you like off this cd with the help of the jacket insert containing the verses translated into english.Hear what is uplifting in a format and style in operatic composition."It ain't over till the fat lady sings", this woman breaks the sterotype.

Maybe one star is being too mean- but Renee Fleming provokes such a response inside me. It is disgusting that she has firmly endeared herself to the hearts of so many America opera fans, with fervor not seen since the heyday of the dearly departed Beverly Sills. Why can't others hear the acute mannerisms, tasteless cadenzas, misguided interpolations, and utter disrepect for great composers' music? The cover DOES say it all. Look at the cover of her Visions of Love (Mozart) recital. The healthy, radiant glow mirrors her vocal ability at the onset of her international career. Now, look at the cover of By Request, several years into the future. It's all artifice, assembled strand by hair strand. Oh, her accompanists and conductors will gush about how La Fleming has nary a diva air about her. Be that as it may, but doesn't address how Team Fleming has conspired to throw musicianship and artistic integrity out the window. The most emblematic aria of this collection is Sempre Libera. Where's Verdi in all this? Surely, Verdi didn't want his fickle courtesan to sound so labored, bland, and world-weary! If this is an Act I Violetta, what would she resemble in Acts II and III? As usual, "The Beautiful Voice" (TM) gets away with it. P.S.- There are those who claim that the way she sounds on disc is not how she sounds in the theater. I respectfully disagree. I was in the audience when she sang her first-ever Traviatas, at Houston Grand Opera. The bellowing at the end of the aforementioned aria was an atrocity I didn't think possible!

Since Korngold has long been one of my all-time favorite film composers, I purchased this operatic recording at the suggestion of a friend who greatly admired it. I had expected hearing some of Korngold's lush movie themes in the course of the opera since I knew that he often drew from his own work when composing film scores. While I personally failed to recognize any of the film passages (if there were any they were awfully brief), I was impressed mainly by the difficulty the singers must have had in interpreting this opera. Very often the operatic score did not seem to support the intricacies of the very demanding vocals for the arias. Nevertheless, the orchestrations were magnificent and the music itself is very powerful and impressive in a way that only Korngold could manage to do. I was less impressed by the male singers than the female who had a very wide range and was at her best in the higher register of her voice. The product arrived promptly and well-packaged from Amazon.

Being a fan of Austrian composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957), I've waited for years to experience a performance of his 1920 three-act opera DIE TOTE STADT (German for "The Dead City"). Apart from collecting numerous recordings of the brilliant film scores he composed at the Warner Bros. studio in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s (from CAPTAIN BLOOD to DECEPTION), I've only obtained various recordings of the arias "Glück, das mir verblieb" and "Pierrot's Tanzlied" from DIE TOTE STADT, which are certainly two of the most beautiful compositions to ever come out of Korngold's head. I finally gave in to my spending urges and bought this two-disc set, which was recorded in 1975 and is considered to be the best available recording of this forgotten opera. Freely adapted from Georges Rodenbach's 1892 novel "Bruges-la-Morte" by Erich and his father Julius (under the pen name "Paul Schott"), the story is simple: Paul (played by tenor René Kollo), mourning over the loss of his beautiful blonde wife Marie in the Belgian city of Bruges, is ecstatic to encounter her exact double one day, the flirtatious opera dancer Marietta (played by soprano Carol Neblett). After he invites Marietta to his home to sing and dance for him, she is surprised to find an elaborate "Temple of Memories" shrine to Marie there, containing a braid of her golden hair and a life-sized portrait of her. After Marietta leaves to attend her rehearsal, Paul, torn by his loyalty to the deceased Marie and his longing for the living Marietta, imagines his brief, doomed romance with Marietta that will bloom and wither in the weeks to come. Most of the opera takes place as a fantasy in Paul's troubled mind, from the ghost of Marie (also played by Neblett) appearing to Paul to encourage him to go out into life to a ghostly church procession approaching Paul's home the morning after Marietta has seduced Paul. The casting of the two leads is nothing short of perfect, with Kollo displaying the right balance of romantic longing and obsessive, delusional mental instability in his powerful voice and Neblett providing a lovely soprano voice with appropriate touches of playfulness and mischief as Marietta. The Munich Radio Orchestra, conducted by Erich Leinsdorf, does complete justice to Korngold's extraordinary orchestrations and lovely melodies composed in the late Romantic style, which are as rich and filling as a slice of chocolate Sachertorte with fresh whipped cream from Korngold's Vienna. Almost everything musical is in here, ranging from a wind machine to a children's choir to a pipe organ to an army of church and clock bells! Incidentally, astute listeners of Korngold's film scores may easily spot brief orchestral passages that were later used in ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936), THE SEA HAWK (1940), KINGS ROW (1942), and DEVOTION (1946). Although the CD comes with a libretto translated in English, I'd love to experience a live performance of DIE TOTE STADT in person someday. Although not for all tastes, this lushly romantic and heartbreaking opera stands as a milestone in the career of a musical genius. And Korngold was only 23 years old when this magnificent opera premiered simultaneously in Hamburg and Cologne on December 4, 1920! DIE TOTE STADT resonated with 1920s German audiences recovering from the traumatic events of World War I and soon went on to become one of the greatest hits of the decade. My only complaints for this CD are its long tracks, which make it difficult to locate a certain section of the opera, and its somewhat high price. Despite these minor quibbles, this CD is a must-listen for any fan of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's film scores and/or classical music compositions. The intriguing story, gorgeous and haunting arias, and theme of love and loss are enough to make a statue weep. For this Korngold fan, DIE TOTE STADT is well worth the price of admission and is something to cherish forever.

Korngold's art and sin lay more in the necessity of making a living than in writing opera. So he came to Hollywood and wrote movie scripts. And then his music was no good any more. As if there was an American composer of the times who could even equal him in talent, no, genius. American composers of the time had talent, not genius. Yet he had composed Die tote Stadt and Das Wunder der Heliane (a much neglected work also) in his youth. Such treasures! And to be abandoned!

Die Tote Stadt by Korngold should be produced more often. It has one of the most haunting arias ever written,"Glueck, das mir verblieb." As one critic wrote, "I don't know if Marietta's Lied is a great aria or not, but you will never get it out of your head." Puccini liked this opera when he saw it in Vienna in the early 1920s. The CD recording has first-rate singers under a distinguished conductor. A recent DVD is good, but it suffers from one of those crazy modern European stagings.

This belongs to the great operas of the 20th Century. The music is ravishing from start to finish and Leinsdorf is at his peak of conducting. Even the first hearing of it is easy on the ear while hearing it repeatedly justs whets the apetite for more discovery of the great hidden medolies. Its different from the vocal writing of the Wagnerian and Straussian operas. The composer was applauded by Strauss, Mahler ( who called him a genius) and Puccini. What greater compliments can one obtain. The recording, I concur with others, is one of the finest I have heard which puts modern technology to shame. BUY it and you wont regret it ever. And, by the way, read the reviews of the DVD versions of the opera although this is performance is not on DVD,

There are many Zorro movies out there and each brings with it a unique character. This version has all the energy and routines of Douglas Fairbanks. In this version Zorro disguises himself with a fake mustache along with the standard mask. He is to wed the daughter (Marguerite De La Motte) of a nobleman (Charles Hill Mailes) that was stripped of his wealth by the governor (George Periolat.) "Oppression- by its very nature-creates the power that crushes it. A champion arises-a champion of the oppressed- whether it be a Cromwell or someone unrecorded, he will be there. He is born." Zorro, the Gay Blade

I am finding that many, MANY younger people are showing a growing respect, appreciation and true ENJOYMENT of our older black & white movies. They are truly refreshing, in that, there is a STORY line: RESPECT to a degree for the clergy: and ESPECIALLY a terrific freedom from only mandatory suck face capades and sleep-around-athons non stop that bombard us today. This film is humorous, thrilling and INTELLIGENTLY done! Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. was a natural athlete who made his Zorro charming, heroic and again very lightheartedly funny. I suppose the best way to describe the experience in enjoying this film is the sense of innocence. Yes, there were cruel and unusual occurrences yesteryear, however, if there was a way to calm the anger, the nerves and to escape into a pleasant distraction, this film is for you.

this movie and "thief of bagdad" were douglas fairbank's greatest works. also proves "the lone ranger" was not the first masked avenger of stage and screen!!

Without the mask, he takes on an annoying personality..."have you seen this one?". No wonder his gal pal found him unappealing when driven up special in a carriage by her parents to be courted by him. Maybe that's why a guy in a mask is so appealing in the first place, anyone would do after the annoying guy with the hanky. Zorro is very athletic and does some amazing moves. I don't know if that was a stunt double or the actor but those leaps and jumps were impressive

This movie was made in 1920. So it's a silent film. So as far as silent films go(my first), it was good. Funny thing is, not much has changed in the plot of the new Zorro movie other than the new Zorro not as nerdy, has got a bigger shiny sword and Zeta-Jones' character has got a bigger ... errr... never mind. What's sad when you watch the new Zorro is that the jokes are the same in the old Zorro almost 80 years earlier. If you are a Zorro fanatic or into really old films, you gotta watch this version. It is also an interesting film to see how Hollywood and our culture/values have changed in nearly a century. UPDATE: Oh, I forgot to mention this. Will someone please tell me what is it that Zorro is snorting? Seriously!, it is the best part of the film. Before Zorro beats up the bad guys, he makes his entrance by showing up smoking this huge cigar which releases a cloud of smoke. Then he whips out this small tin box and then proceeds to snorts its contents. Seriously!. Did you just say "What the hell?", cause I sure did when I saw that. I'd love to know what he is snorting, so if someone knows, please post. Puts a new spin on they don't make things like to use to.

It's great, but I put it on a Home Depot bucket and the handles don't detach so it was hard to get it on so it doesn't slip down the side of the bucket. I wish the designers of the velcro attachment would take that into account.

I use this all the time. Holds everything I need to garden. This is made of very sturdy material and I would recommend it to friends and family. My only compaint is that the bucket gets a bit heavy because I have a lot of gardening tools!

This is a good idea that has been poorly executed. There are ample pockets for your most used tools, and the size of these pockets gives you plenty of flexibility. For my own personal use, the seed packet storage is a lot of wasted space, which really can't be converted to use for anything other than seed packets. I think the cell-phone pocket is another waste of space on this rig as well. I don't want to be bothered while I'm out in the yard. I'm sure some of you might agree! Where I am truly disappointed with this product is in it's quality. The materials are fine, but the assembly is truly poor. There is a snap closure on this rig, and when it was made, the snap grommet cut right through the back rubberized fabric, causing that closure to be totally useless. It isn't worth the time and effort to patch the fabric, and install a new snap (or other closure device). The hook-and-loop fastening strap that holds the body of the rig to the bucket is a generic low-quality velcro. The stitching overall is pretty low quality, and less than accurate at the seams and attachment points. Don't overload your rig, or it will sag. Don't remove the rig from the bucket frequently, or it will fail to "stick". Use a dedicated 5-gallon bucket, and leave it attached. I would suggest getting something like a "Bucket Boss" rig, and adapting it to your gardening needs.

EDITED NOTE: This review is of the 9424 GARDEN Bucket Caddy. Please note, this product is marketed as a gardeners product. It isn't marketed as a heavy duty tool or construction tool caddy. My review is based upon the product's intended useage - in the garden. While the product may have other uses (and I think it may), I would NOT recommend this product as a heavy duty or specialized "tool" tote. The Fiskars 9424 Garden Bucket Caddy surely has appeal to somebody, but I can't imagine the Caddy really having any kind of mass appeal. It's a good idea - for someone who has the need to tote a bucket and yard tools - but that leads to this question: Who needs to tote a large bucket and garden tools? Answer: gardenders who do a lot of weeding? That's the answer I got from a number of people who said that the bucket had "all kinds of uses in the garden" and then had difficulty explaining those needs coupled with the need to tote the tools with the bucket. I'm not intending to be short sighted here. Believe me, I see lots of uses for a bucket and tools - weeding, harvesting, seed toting, bulb toting, or just extra space to store larger gardening items - like bags of lime or fertilizer. But you should ask yourself first, before you buy - do I tote things in a bucket and need my gardening tools when I do? The design seems fine, but has some flaws. For starters, some of the pockets have no bottoms... and if you don't have the right size tool in there, these pockets are then useless. When you do have something in there that's large enough to provide resistance, it's a bit unweildy. Loaded down, the Caddy is heavy, maybe even too heavy to fit nicely on the bucket. The more you have in the caddy, the snugger the fit. Completely loaded with a series of tools, we found the caddy almost impossible to fasten aroung the bucket we had. There is no counterweight overlapping the lip of the bucket, extending into the interior of the bucket, as you might have seen with a construction bucket tote. And be careful selecting a bucket. Buckets with heavy trim or banding near the top may be the right volume but will not work with this caddy - it just won't reach around. Fiskars would be wise to recommend a bucket or two to send customers in the right direction. You may find a quick trip to your local bix bog hardware store doesn't yield a good bucket. The other major issue is this: You can't empty the bucket with the caddy on unless you want to play fruit basket turnover with your tools. There's no locking mechanism or tie back to keep the tools in place when the bucket is inverted - so you can fill the bucket, but you'll have to remove the caddy first before you then empty the bucket. Also, depending upon the handle on your bucket - you may find it difficult to get the handle out of the way when the caddy is in place. Bottom line: I'm just not sold on this device that looks like it should be handy and useful in the photographs. Practicality, design issues, and limited use make for a below average product. UPDATE: We saw an AVID SCRAPBOOKER with this device, wrapped around a bucket. She has all sorts of scrapbooking tools in the caddy, and the bucket became a portable trash can. Not the intended use, but very resourceful. Go figure!

I loved the concept of having my tools attached to my bucket, but the caddy has failed in execution. Once you fill all the pockets of the caddy with your gardening tools, it gets too heavy to stay attached to the bucket and falls off without warning. I have tried different ways to keep it on, but haven't found anything that works yet with the velcro closure. The other problem is you can't really dump your bucket with the caddy on unless you want to throw away your tools with the weeds. And the caddy is hard to get back on the bucket with the tools in it because of the weight and gravity pulling it down as you are trying to re-secure it to the top of the bucket.

This bag was perfectly sized and constructed to store my jumper cable in the trunk of my car. My jumper cable was fairly large and "clunky" and I needed something to keep it contained and out of the way. This bag completely took care of the situation.

For Christmas gifts bought five sets of 'smart' cables and five of these bags for children/grandchildren. These Bucket bags fit cables perfectly. Nice touch - the design to tuck the bag/cables in the spare wheel cavity. Good sturdy canvas; should last a lifetime.

Another good quality product from Bucket Boss. These bags are made from heavy material with good quality zippers. I was able to easily fit a set of 12 foot long heavy duty jumper cables, several clean shop towels and a small bottle of waterless hand cleaner in the bag. The pocket on the outside of the bag is pretty small. After evaluating the quality, I plan to get another one for my wife's car.

We have several of the Bucket Boss bags and they are all very handy! This one holds just the jumper cables and gloves in one of our daily drivers. It is a little skinnier than the Bucket Boss Cable and Tool Bag, which we also have and love. If you are just storing jumper cables and a few small items, this one is great. If you want to store a tow strap and/or jumper cables, flashlight, gloves, small tools, reflectors/flares, etc. then I would recommend the Cable and Tool bag. That one has room for more stuff (the photo for that one is more helpful). Both bags have their purpose; they are sturdy for sliding around in vehicles and discrete if you have an open back area. Note: Bag does NOT come with cables! Sure you can go the cheap route and get that bag and cable combo at walmart, but you get what you pay for... cheap-cheap-cheap cables and cheapo bag. good luck with that.

Great Bag for protecting and keeping you Jumper Cables Clean and neat. Really handy if you own average Jumper cables you pick up at the Big Box Stores. But if you own a Commercial set (2 Gauge) the Bag is a little bit of a tight fit. Great construction, built very strong and sturdy. You cant go wrong with this Bag!!

In order to isolate and work those abdominal and pelvic floor muscles I needed a lot of guidance. This video provided that for me. I'm in pretty decent shape, but, the small concise pulses and lifts in this video give me such a terrific core workout...the soreness the next day tells me so. I highly recommend it!

The great thing about Mamalates is that is isn't some over-arching crazy workout so you can get back to looking like a supermodel in three days. This is a well-paced, well thought out series of movements that helped my wife regain her strength and tone after birth, and she was able to do it with our baby. Brilliant! If you are looking for a low-stress workout that you don't need to schedule child-care for and actually produces solid results, this is it! Great music, too.

Like many classic movies, unless it is Wizard of OZ or Gone with the Wind the DVD edition is very simple. The DVD works fine and the movie is certainly better than VHS but the DVD box and the final quality of the packaging is more Dollar store than Best Buy.

Directed by Raoul Walsh in 1924, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD is definitely the OG Arabian Nights fantasy in Silent Film. A 1940 Technicolored version was released starring Sabu but the two versions are complete opposites. The biggest difference is that the 1924 version starring Swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks does not have a Genie popping out of a bottle to grant 3 wishes. With lavish production sets and great trick photography, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD is both visually stunning and far ahead of its time. Reported to be on of the first Million Dollar productions of the time, you can see that the money was spent on the sets. Douglas Fairbanks gives the performance of a lifetime in this classic tale set in "The Dream City of the East."

Hi I had a VHS version of this film and have watched it several time with friends. I jumped at the chance to get it again on DVD. The film is so good that you forget that it is silent and just enjoy the story. A note of interest the art director on this film William Cameron Menzies is the producer of the 1941 version of this film, another of the all time great fantasy films. There is also a version made in the early 60s staring Steve Reeves that follows the original film faithfully and is worth seeing. Mike

In 1924 the Thief of Bagdad was produced for the (then) stagering cost of $2.5 million! The range of emotions, the sense of location, the mysteries of Babalon, and the sheer magnitism of Douglas Fairbanks (a carefree pickpocket) alone makes this special. Flying carpets, dragons, winged horses and the Indian rope trick add a sureal touch with special effects that were exceptional for the era. Fold in the music (adapted from the original 1924 cue sheets), an introduction by Orson Wells, and very rare special effects footage and it becomes an absolute masterpiece for your film collection. This release has been recently mastered from the archival 35 millimeter negatives and provides a digital stereo soundtrack. It is a must!

Watching this movie is like having a fairy tale dream. It's a must have to all silent film lovers.

While I was disappointed the Food Mill had a plastic strainer rather than a steel one like the one I used for 5 kids (they do carry a model now that has the steel strainer disc which I highly recommend) the customer service when going through the return process was great. The company stands behind their products 100% and were very pleasant to work with. I would definitely purchase other products from them again.

I'm sure this product will be good. I gave it to my daughter in law who is a medical missionary in Haiti. She, my son and 6mo granddaughter returned the day of the earthquake. I doubt they have even unpacked it.

good concept but very messy and hard to clean up. i should have bought ended up buying an electric food processor.

I used this grinder probably thirty years ago with my first child: now my youngest is using it with her ten month old. It works great. No annoying people in a restaurant with noise...and no reliance on bland pureed baby food...just use the healthy food the family eats. Obviously not for first introduction to solids, as it is not smooth like yogurt...but most babies like variety,and texture. She loves this grinder, just as I did. Cheap, well made, useful, basic. It isn't great for tough meat, or raw veggies...but for cooked veges, stew, soup, pasta...chicken, it works great.

Great product for those of us who want to feed our babies healthy, wholesome foods. Great for home or travel. No more lugging around premade, store bought baby food in breakable, glass jars! You can feed your baby practically what ever you're having and grind it up fine enough for their precious little mouths to chew and swallow without the fear of them choking on something cut too big. I highly recommend this product to anyone. Would even work for those who are older and need their food pureed. Can't say enough good things about this very valuable, easy to use, easy to clean, handy product.

I have been using this diaper pail liner with my 19 month old daughter for about half a year now. It has been working just fine for me. Yes, the outside of the bag does feel a little damp on the outside when I take it out of the pail. No big deal. (BTW, I wash my dipes every other day or every three days.) If you are on a budget, this is the bag for you.

I'm really pleased with these bags, and I'm surprised to see all the negative reviews. They've held up well, they keep the smell inside, they dry quickly after being washed. I use both the travel size and the duffel size. Maybe I got lucky with mine, but I'm ordering another to have on hand.

I was using this to line the diaper pail for our cloth diapers, I was cycling between two of them so they were each going through the wash once every 4 - 5 days. I was careful to line dry the bags and only used Charlies Soap detergent. After the first month the seams came undone in the wash; I resewed the seams, then moisture began to seep through the fabric. I'm done with these and moved onto another brand. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money on these.

I've had this bag for about a month now. It holds the mess in, but does tend to feel a bit wet on the outside. The material is really thin but it is 'coated nylon' not PUL. As other reviews state, it isn't waterproof but it doesn't claim it is either. I really don't know if it is leak-thru or if it sweats in the diaper pail. I've always hung to dry and it washes well and drys quickly. These fit great in a variety of garbage pails as well as the diaper champ. The drawstring actually works unlike another drawstring drybag I had. It is inexpensive and gets the job done in a diaper pail but I wouldn't use this hanging on a hook or anything.

I ordered two of these to have in rotation, and I use them in a 13-gallon trash can. After just one or two washings, the bags started to show some wear. Unfortunately, they went through the drier with the first load or two of cloth diapers, and that may have been the beginning of the end. After just a few weeks, the vertical seam on one of my bags has a tear and is not looking much better on the other bag. Both have kind of a mosaic-looking pattern when light shines through the material, which may be an indication of some of the waterproofing failing. I find that the bags are damp to the touch on the outside, and this is just with pee diapers. We're not yet rinsing poo diapers, and I fear how these bags will hold up when we do. Finally, the rope around the opening has shrunk just enough that hooking the bag around the rim of the trash can is impossible with one bag and super-tight with the other. Given how often we do loads of diapers in the laundry, these just aren't the bags for me. I will be finding replacements.

Plenty of room for my computer and everything that goes along with it without looking like a huge, bulky bag. It's great that Kailo Chic was able to work with Pacific Design and make the product available this way. I would have been willing to pay for the bag even it was directly through Kailo Chic because I use it everyday, and it's great. I will definitely buy more from this company in the future

I was looking for something to replace the really unprofessional-looking knapsack I was carrying my laptop around in. I considered spending 100-200 on a nice leather bag or something like that, but stopped that craziness when I saw this. I figured it was worth a shot since the reviews were good and it was only $25. I'm happy with that choice. The bag is perfect. It easily fits my 15.4" macbook. I can't put a ton of stuff in it (like the other reviews say), but since I generally only carry a few folders or books with my laptop and it's accessories, this thing is grand. I LOVE it. It looks nice (kind of unique, even, when compared to other laptop bags out there), is sturdy, and you simply cannot beat the price. I'd buy another like it in a heartbeat.

I bought this for my daughter who is in graduate school in NYC. She loves it. Perfect size for packing her laptop and other stuff. I as very pleased with the color, size, and quality!

I purchased this bag for my daughter's new HP G60 15.6 inch widescreen (It fits...but is fairly tight.) The bag is well constructed and has a lot of extra pockets for pens, papers, mouse, cords and such. I loved it so much, I bought myself one. However, if you are planning on carrying a lot more than your laptop, this may not be the bag for you. After the computer is inside, there is only about 1.5 inches (depth) of space left in the neighboring compartment for books etc. I was, however, able to store my Logitech S150 USB Speaker Oem (which are awesome for the price) in the large outside pleated pocket. I looked at MANY bags before settling on this one. After seeing it in person, it is worth twice as much! This is a great value at twenty-five bucks!

The bag arrived in less than expected shipment time. I got this as a gift for my cousin who loved it. It's true that there isn't much space in there if you put your laptop but this is the case with most laptop totes. The color is wonderful and it's a great value for your money. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. You can never beat this price, even with other totes being on sale.

I love this bag... It fits my laptop and a few accessories - it's not the largest bag, but that keeps me from over loading it. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was cause I have some concerns about how water proof it is - but the inside appears to be lined, so my computer should be well protected.

I got this bag and was concerned that my 15.6 in laptop would fit..but it fit great..I love this bag..the way it looks and the Shoulder straps are great as well...They are big enough so that if the bag is full you can still move your arms and are not having to hold the bag up...I used it last night at church..and had 2 3-ring binders, my laptop, a notebook and some other essentials and it worked wonderfully...I love it..! :)

I have never been so excited about a purchase as this tote. For the price it way exceeded my expectations. Although advertised as red, which concerned me, the color is more maroon and not flashy. It is tastefully designed and fashionable. Inside it has plenty of pockets to put phones or battery packs etc. The padded quilting offers great protection for computer, not at all flimsy. Plenty of room for files and other paperwork. Outside pockets for passports makeup etc. I can't wait to go on a trip and try it out. It fits comfortably on the shoulder. I would easily have paid twice the price for this tote. If you have looked at almost everything out there in your quest for a fashionable, well designed, practical tote for your laptop this is your option. I was not restricted by price. Indeed, I looked at many above $150 but could not find the look I wanted. That's why I was concerned about the quality of this tote for the price. I see now that I had no reason to be concerned. I highly recommend this laptop tote.

This bag is really great- it looks stylish, it's lighter than my old laptop bag, and it can actually fit a decent amount of stuff despite being pretty compact. I can fit my 14" wide laptop, along with a book, notebook, files, & cosmetic bag with some room to spare. It has great pockets inside and outside to stash keys, phone, wallet, etc. Best of all, it's stylish and small enough to use as a purse all the time. Highly recommend. (Also note there are many more reviews for this product if you look at the different color designs).

This is in no means a bookbag but I will use it for class. It will fit a book or two with a medium-sized binder or notebook. I love it! The pleats look very feminine and this tote is a nice makeover from my usual plain messenger bag look (which I didn't sell out -- still love my mess bags -- I just like variety).

My compaq presario CQ60 fits in here fine. Just a mite of trouble getting it in and out, but once it's in there are a few inches of space around the edges, so I imagine an even larger laptop could be made to fit. Also comfortable with smaller laptops. Nice padding on the shoulders and the back.

I love the bag, I ordered is Feb. 22nd it arrived perfectly on March 1st. I did normal shipping. This bag is great if you have a 15.6" screen display size or smaller. DO NOT BUY IF you have a screen display size bigger than 15.6" I have an Asus G50-vt-x5 with a 9 cell battery and it fits. It's a slight battle to get it in but the fight is worth it. The bag is great quality, professional looking, light weight and holds everything I need with ease. I'm very satisfied with my order but I feel that for others that the description of this product is miss leading. I also don't think that the MAC review that was made was true, but that's just me.

Ill keep it short and sweet. Needed a good backpack for my toshiba laptop. Read some reviews and instantly purchased the item as other reviews stated how nice this product was. When i recieved the item instantly took my laptop and placed in both compartments(Seperate Zipper Slot and in the main space of the back pack) both were a squeeze but fit snug and nice. Kinda nice that my laptop doesnt have a lot of room hince it will stay stationary. Any ways havent really givin it a test run (taken backpack/laptop out for travel) but from the looks of it, it will be great... I suggest to anyone who wants a firm, stylish, efficient laptop backpack. Would purchase again in a second A++ item. Thnx Dwonka27

Real easy - this product does what it says it does for a great price. I have had other laptop backpacks and this beats them hands down for comfort. An excellent size also, not overly bulky. I recommend this without reservation.

Exceptional quality, believe me. Great fabric, very roomy, lots of pockets, covered zippers for moist protection. Lowepro quality at it's best. And for the 28 buck including shipment - you gotta be kidding me ! All in all I'm happy with this backpack.

Reviews

contains only 6 or 7 small packs of candy or cookies....no where near worth the cost. would never do it again.

My Brother sent me a Happy Birthday gift Tote and it was sooo... much fun. The candy and cookies inside were tasty and delicious, and the tote was so cute. Of course now I'll have to send my brother something... I wonder what else they have? This was such a yummy gift.

Yesterday was my birthday and I was really blue as I thought I would be all alone. My friends had a different plan and showed up at my door with this gift that really made my day special. It is as bright and cheerful as it is in the picture and comes with a very pretty bow made of different colored ribbons. I saved the ribbons for christmas wrapping as it would be a shame to waste them they are nice quality. We enjoyed all the candy and cake together which satisfied all of our sweet tooths, but I saved the cookies for me later to go with my tea. I highly recommend this gift and have already looked into ordering the over the hill one for my friend for her birthday next month. Great friends, great goodies, good times and good laughs. Happy birthday to me!

I received this gift basket as a birthday present and was excited upon initially opening the box. From there it went downhill. The actual bag is about 2/3 stuffing with only the very top being product, and you get very little product for the price. Notables in it were "truffle cookies" that tasted like a stale vanilla cracker cookie (I'm guessing this was a substitute for the listed Balloon sugar cookies), a chocolate chip "tea cake" mini loaf that's hard to stomach more than a couple bites at a time (very bland and unappetizing), a small box of chocolate fudge that's the worst I've ever had (you probably made better fudge in home ec), a box marked "Gourmet Caramel Nut Assortment" that's actually just caramel pieces (equally disappointing). The only safe things in the package were some small (emphasis: small) packages of Jelly Bellies, fruit slice candies, and some generic hard strawberry candies. The boxes the individual products come in are deceivingly big, but trust me there's a lot of air in each of those boxes. For something by a company named "The Art of Appreciation," you can show your appreciation in much cheaper ways that doesn't leave the party on the receiving end wondering if they knew what in the world you were thinking. I wouldn't even pay $10 for this utter disappointment. Show someone you care by staying clear of this little number! (Update: I find it very interesting that within 24 hours of my posting the first review for this since it was released in 2004, a beaming almost storybook 5-star review comes up out of nowhere (Also note that this was that reviewer's first review ever--red flags galore). p.s. There was no "pretty bow" in this package, or if there was it was instantly forgetable. Obviously a lame attempt by the company to boost their rating. Stay away from this waste of money.)

I received a phone call on this gift from hundreds of miles away and the recipient raved about it - so, it's a winner!

I haven't actually seen the item, but have sent it to two friends who've been ill recently. both were very happy with it. :)

I sent this to my sick mother whom I don't live close enough to take care of and I was disappointed. There were several items that were substituted and not substituted equally for what you are expecting. The description makes it sound much nicer than it actually is.

I recently ordered your Get Well Soon Chicken Basket for my daughter who Had surgery. She was very pleased with the order and said it brought back memories of when she was little and chicken soup was cure for everything. She loved the tote bag and said "she couldn't think of anything nicer to cheer someone up. Thank you!

Reviews

The bearS were great and the thought an concept was excellent what brought the rating down for me were the treats. They were reported to me as being not that good

Reviews

I haven't done any of the projects yet, but I'm not super excited about them in general. The bag on the front cover is probably the thing that I would be most likely to make. There is also a composition book cover which is neat. There are too many "pouches" in general. I mean, when you understand how to make one rectangular pouch with a zipper, do you need any more guidance on other types of pouches? Pretty good...not great...i can't comment on her instructions, as i've yet to make one of the projects.

This book has a lot of cute ideas. The fabrics used are beautiful and instructions easy to follow.

I've picked up a number of the new wave of sewing books in the last year, and this is BY FAR the best one. The author is not only a charming writer, but also a meticulous seamstress and gifted teacher: her instructions and diagrams are crystal clear and have helped me construct beautiful projects that are polished and professional-looking. Favorite projects include the Dinner Party Grocery Bag (stylish, roomy, and sturdy, hands-down the favorite re-usable grocery bag in my collection) and the Pocket Place Mats, which are fantastic if you have small children in the house who are learning to set a table. I had fun with this one, scaling it down a bit and making one in some fun kids' prints; few things are more special to a kid at meal time than her own little pocket place mat with its little cloth napkin. I also really appreciated the detailed sewing advice in the back of the book. Barden knows her stuff, and has a number of tips and tricks that you will not find in other sewing books, and others that you won't find as clearly described elsewhere. Overall a wonderful resource full of stellar projects.

As an intermediate sewer, and for-profit bag maker, I would recommend this book for anyone looking for cute, functional projects to sew. Cassie Barden takes you through it as though she's giving you a personal lesson-- the tone is supportive and patient, without being boring for more advanced sewers. This would be a great book for people who are just getting into machine sewing, as she covers all the basics from design, construction, materials, and tools. Each of the successive patterns builds on skills and techniques from the earlier ones, so a beginner might want to work through the book from start to finish. But, again, as a more experienced crafter, I appreciated and learned some tips and tricks here that I am now using, and it's made my crafting easier and more professional looking. She's got excellent photos and illustrations, very clear directions, and helpful reference pages at the beginning and end. It's an ideal gift option, and good to have on your own shelf of sewing books.

I was impressed with the wide array of projects on this book, and there are many I plan on making (laptop case, messenger bag, and craft apron in particular). The directions seem clear and well illustrated, and all of the project examples are made up in gorgeous and fun fabrics, which I found to be a wonderful source of inspiration. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for beginning-to-intermediate sewing projects with a youthful twist.

I absolutely love this book, and all of the projects inside. The bags are gorgeous and well made, not like the Quick'n'Easy patterns that have become common. They aren't cheap, with all their hardware and classy fabrics, but the end product is well worth the effort and expense. I've made two of the bags so far (the very useful granny bag on the cover, and the tweed purse), and plan to make most of the rest. The instructions are not very detailed, and although the techniques are fairly simple, I would not recommend this to someone with little sewing experience. Much of the instructions are explained through line drawings instead of text (the text of the book is *very* sparse), and these drawings seem to assume that you know the basics of how a bag goes together. The introduction walks you through this, briefly, and it is sufficient for someone who has experience with sewing.

This is a wonderful book, The fabrics are to die for!! The patterns are clear, concise well layed out, Great Great Great!! A Must have to add to your library of handbag books!!

Hay bolsos de todos los estilos: modernos, grandes, pequeños, para el trabajo, para el ocio,.... Como siempre, una buena combinación de telas es esencial para darle al bolso ese toque personal. Las explicaciones son un poco complicadas

I love the Japanese style, so this is a favourite book for me. The bags are contemporary with some designs and ideas I have not seen elsewhere. If you did not know, you would not immediately think Japanese, there is no sashiko, Japanese fabrics or style in much evidence, yet this is a classic book. Some patterns are included, the other bags are made by measurement alone. You might need to read the instructions more than once. Highly finished techniques for the dedicated bag maker.

I love this book. Beautiful pictures and easy instructons. This treats the reader like an artisan, even bags with basic construction have a high end appeal. The author relays her sensibilities eg, not passing up a piece of fabric that you love, but purchase even a small piece then you have it ready for something you want to make in the future - like these bags.

My boyfriend initially borrowed this book from the library in hopes of finding a pattern or inspiration to make a laptop/airline carry-on bag. He's fairly experienced in sewing and has made several wearable pieces of clothing. He was very disappointed as this was not either geared to his sewing level or had the bag he was looking for. I looked at the book before it was returned to the library and saw much more potential. The book is aimed toward the beginner sewers and the last time I tried any major sewing projects were the tote bag and shorts from 7th and 8th grade Home Ec classes. The patterns are so simple I probably could guesstimate out on my own what I needed for each bag, but it's easier to have a guideline to start with. I do give it a lot of credit for covering the sewing supplies, stitches, terminology, etc. for the ultra beginner along with rating each pattern for experience level. In the end I asked for this book for Christmas and have made two bags from it already. The two I made were a larger version of the Tiny Tote and a super sized Ditty Bag where the drawstring was anchored to the bottom for a shoulder strap.

This book encourages creativity! Lexi Barnes provides basic bag instructions and the rest is up to you. Each pattern can be made to your own specifications. Make the size to fit your needs. I was NOT disappointed.

I am a beginner sewer. This book is totally awesome and really lives up to it's name. I would highly recommend this book. I also ordered a few other books along with this one and this one is by far the best one so far. It is just very concise and fun to look through. Every step has pictures that show you exactly what you should be doing. Her fabrics are really inspiring and there is a colored picture of what the finished project looks like. She also labels things according to the skill level. Her instructions are really clear, easy to follow, and very customizable. There is a section in the beginning that explains the rest of the book. Her projects include: eyeglasses case, tissue pouch, grocery bag tube, map sack, zippered wristlet, totes, drawstring sacks, messenger bags, and organizers (The wall organizer is really cool).

Love that there was so much inspiration for such a small price but wasn't overwhelmed by the projects. I like that there aren't any patterns and that you can make up the bags using simple cutting instructions, but the flip side of that is that none of the bags are particularly interesting. Nice book if you've never made a bag before, but if you have made some Amy Butler bags in the past, you will be disappointed with the level of difficulty.

This book is great for beginnng sewers who want fun projects and clearly written instructions. Most of the projects are practical and useable, but the imaginative fabric and trim choices offer inspiration for more experienced sewers who are looking for quick projects or gifts. I also give points for craft books with a lay-flat spiral binding...pages stay open while you're working! This book would make a great gift for a young person learning to sew.

This is the best case we have had for ds so far. It can hold two ds systems and up to 20 games.

If you own a DS gaming system, you need this case. It is a high quality and excellently designed product. The felt lined pouches provide a snug, secure fit for the gaming system. It's the best solution I've found to keep my kids from leaving their DS systems and games all about the house. They can store both of their DS Lites in this bag as well as their 2 chargers, car adapters, stylus, etc. If you're using the Nerf armor, then my guess is you'd probably only be able to fit one game system. The product description says it will hold up to 20 game cards because there are 20 pockets. But really, if you're not using those clear little game card cases, each pocket could hold 2 game cards so it has the potential to hold up to 40 games (although I'm not sure my 5 year old would have the dexterity to pull that off). It really is the perfect size. It's large enough to keep everything in one place, but not so big that a child would object to toting it around. In fact, my 8 year old carried it through various airports on our recent vacation and thanks to the convenient strap, I didn't have to worry about him setting it down somewhere and forgetting it. This is a must have. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase and will be recommending it to friends and family.

This is a great little bag!! When it arrives, it's flat. But as you open the zippers and peek inside, you realize how roomy it is! There's two spots designated for two DSi's, which can be used for one DSi and charger. Then that same zipper area can hold game booklets. There's also holders for extra styli, and pens. The back zipper part has individual slots for 20 games, though 40 can fit if needed. Those slots also can hold any memory cards. A zippered slot is inside that area too. Can be carried like a handbag, or comes with shoulder strap. It's just such a great bag!!

This is a great case for the DS. My children share this bad and is perfect for trips in the car.

Keep all the acessories in one bag. Finally, even the charger. It holds my son's DS and DSi with both chargers plus the games.

Reviews

bought for the kids so they could take their games with them they really seem to like it has quite a bit of room

This carry case has been very useful. Everything fits just right into the padded compartments. I can even fit extra games. The only downside is that it took almost a month to receive it after it was ordered. However, it was well worth the wait.

This bag is great. It's larger than other Wii carrying cases I've seen. It has specified compartments for the sensor bar, the charger, the console, 2 remotes, 2 nunchucks, a few games, and one more "open" compartment, which I put the A/V cables in. The material seems pretty sturdy. The only reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because it seems like there is a lot of wasted space opportunity in both the main and front pockets. If they would have just made the bag a couple inches wider, there would be more room for other accessories in between all of the compartments on the sides. I was able to cram my wheel into the front pocket, but it made the zipper bulge a bit.

This is by far the most awesome carry all Wii bag you can buy, and it should be because it's from Nintendo. The bag has specialized compartments for the Wii console, Wii remotes, Nun-chucks, power adapters, sensor bar, classic controllers and what ever other awesome accessories you can find for your Wii. Truly great product worth every penny.

Pro: Good and hard padding. Con: Only fits my DS Lite and not my DSi; Actually, the DSi does fit, but the DSi will not fit in the properly secured slot. I also worry about scratching the DSi when zipping up because it's a tight fit. For a similar, albeit less well padded, case, consider the DSi Compact Case by Hori.

When ot has came down to the Nintendo DSi, it honestly has shown to be one of the most clever and dynamic video game systems that have came out within the past year, and shows much more mind and action, by having you not only play your favoorite games from the DS library, but now with the ability to download great games like Art Style: Aquia and many other great games. But all of those great games still may have action, but if you don't have a great place to secure the Nintendo DSi from any damages, you won't be able to play anything at all. But, this great case for the Nintendo DSi, can definitely help. This Zippered case, matches the color of your favorite colored Nintendo DSi system, whether it is in the simple Teal Blue, shocking Pink, or Black. It handles very well at keeping your Nintendo DSi safe and secure whenever you need to store it away. I like how clever the design really is, that it matches the look of the back of the DSi or DS Lite, which also can be stored securely in this case. I absolutely recommend this as a must buy, if you're still looking for a great place to put your DS away. Price: A- Convience: A Design: A Overall: A-
