Granite Ware
Usually ships in 4 to 6 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Graniteware Fish Poacher) 『Graniteware 22-1/2 Inch Fish Poacher with Rack Purchased this to take with us in camper when we travel. Have not yet used it but my husband was impressed with it. My only complaint is it did not come with any receipe ideas etc. That is one thing they should consider. Anxious to try lobster in it.』
(Very large and dramatic well-made whole fish poacher) 『Aware that it is not permitted to cite the Friday sale price of an item after the deal has expired, allow me to say that at about 80 percent off the manufacturer's suggested full retail price, this was a bargain too good to pass up since I know many fine cooks as I work in a fine natural foods emporium. I bought it in anticipation of learning of an elopement and I needed to find a splashy inexpensive gift which said "wedding" but not "why wasn't I invited to the reception. Here is my ticket price." Anyway I really like it and I hope the people I bought it for actually make it formal before I give it to someone else. It really is quite grand but not too fancy.』
(Excellent) 『This pan deserves kudos. Well made and good sized as well as a great bargain.』
(Well made) 『If you buy the wild salmon fillet from Costco, this is the perfect pan to use to bake or poach. It also is the perfect shape for 2 pork loins to be baked. As the other reviewer noted, due to the loop shaped protruding handles, I had to angle the pan to get it to fit inside my standard sized oven. Although it is dishwasher safe I plan to hand wash it due to its size. Also I want to minimize rust (I have an old canning pot I use to cook crabs in and it's about 20 years old and just now is starting to rust where it was scratched). This pan is very sturdy so it should give many years of service. Actually I think the stainless steel rack alone is worth the current price of this pan. Enjoy this great deal.』
(A little too big.) 『This item is well built and certainly big enough for any fish a regular family is likely to buy from the supermarket. The biggest problem with it, unfortunately, is also its size. Specifically, it does not fit in my oven. Steaming over two stove burners, however, is a possible application.』 『Poaching is a great cooking method perfect for seafood; it imparts a lot of moisture into the food without masking the delightful flavor. Constructed of low-carbon steel with glass coating, this fish poacher does not contain PFOA's or other chemicals to alter the taste of food, the food's color, or compromise your health. At 22-1/2-inches, this poacher is large enough to fit a whole easy and features handles that allow you to poach your fish at a low or high profile setting. This chip-resistant poacher is easy-to-clean by hand.』

MIU France
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Just ok) 『these spatulas work fine but you have to be careful what you use them on. The large purple one got all stained when I used it to clean out the bowl containing my sauce for lasagna. I have others that don't do this.』
(Scrapers rated high !) 『3 sizes: 1 large 2 medium 1 small (Very useful size)
They all do the job&do it well. Color coding is good if using several in food preparation (IF you can remember what color you used for what!)』
(Great Kitchen Tools!) 『Love these and use them literally every day! It doesn't bother me at all the head and handle are separate pieces because I haven't had them come apart during use at all and I have used these often. I do not put mine in the dishwasher though and perhaps that is where the problem is - maybe the heat from repeated dishwasher use causes them to contract and loosen. Personally I prefer to hand wash mine, which is not a problem since whenever I'm using them, I usually have something else I'm handwashing at the same time anyway. I love the colors - makes them extremely easy to locate quick in the utensil drawer. I especially love how soft and flexible they are, and they DO get every single drop of whatever it is you are scraping out. Heck they practically lick it clean!! Nothing is wasted and that's a good thing. I just love this set and truthfully, I wish I would have ordered 2 sets!! Great product - highly recommend.』
(Not very sturdy) 『I wanted spatulas with a silicone handle so I could put them in the dishwasher. The ones with wooden handles have to be handwashed, and that can be a pain. These are heat resistant and dishwasher safe, but not at all sturdy. The heads of the spatulas are too soft and bend a little too much, and they also slide off of the handles. If you're mixing a heavy cookie dough, these won't get the job done. They are fine for stirring some veggies in a non-stick skillet or for scraping cake batter out of a mixing bowl, but that's about it.』
(DON'T LICK THE FROSTING OFF THESE SPATULAS) 『Leaves a chemical after-taste if you like to lick the frosting off the spatula. Having said that, these spatulas do work very well, don't stain and don't cost too much.』 『These pastel colored spatulas are made with silicone heads and polypropylene handles. Heat resistent up to 650 degrees F., they are stain-proof and dishwasher safe.』

Lodge
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Great value) 『This product is every bit as good as those costing 2 to 3 times as much. Highly recommend.』
(It makes for good cook'in) 『I have enjoyed my Lodge Dutch Oven. It is easy to clean and it is great for slow cooked meals. I also bought the 3 qt casserole.』
(Great Value) 『I can't comment on the durability as I've only been using this pot for a month, but so far it's performed as well as the Staub pot I had been using for years previously. If this holds up for even a couple of years, I'd say it's well worth it for the price! The only catch is that the handle is only oven-safe to 400F, so I have had to remove it on a few occasions. It screws on and off quite easily, though!』
(love this pot) 『... it's a replacement for the 5-qt. dutch oven I used weekly which was lost when moving. $53 Lodge vs. $210 Le Creuset. The 75% savings paid for a complete 10-piece set of Cuisinart Chef's Classic stainless steel. (Bought the original Le Creuset in 1991 as part of a 2 fry pans, 2 sauce, 1 dutch oven set for $170.)
Don't know yet if I like the shallower/wider shape as I'm so accustomed to long-cooking dishes in a deep pot. But, it is a generous 6-qts. (rather than 5), it cooks the same, and the quality is on par with the Le Creuset. There is not as much surface contact with the heating element, but I love the rounded interior bottom for stirring up the pot!
This Lodge enameled cast-iron is a beauty--bought the blue one, it feels good to cook in, and I'm so glad to have found a replacement for my favorite, most used pot. 』
(Great deal on a great pan) 『I've been looking for an enameled cast-iron dutch oven I could afford. This is it! Produces a good fond, is great for slow cooking, I love it!』 『For more than a century home cooks and great chefs have cherished their round enamel cast iron ovens. From the stovetop and oven, to its elegant table presentation, Lodge Enamel provides superior cooking performance, versatility, and unparalleled style. When you're finished with your meal simply store your food in the refrigerator or freezer without any concern about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface.』

Sesame Street
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (3 Days - Potty success) 『I popped it in the DVD and my 26 month old son watched it a few times, he danced to the songs and just loved the DVD. The next thing I know, he is in the bathroom wanting to sit on the toilet and flush, flush, flush. Now he can't keep his clothes on and it's his newest obsession to go to the bathroom. I have switched from diapers to pull ups and have not had a wet pullup yet in a week. WAY TO GO ELMO!!!!! Linda :)』
(It works!) 『I bought this video as a last resort to help my daughter potty train. She was almost three and wouldn't poop on the potty only pee. After seeing this video and the candid way the characters were talking about it she decided to give it a try. The next day we were done with diapers. Elmo's Father has a part in the video and sings a hysterical song about going to the bathroom. I watched it with my daughter and we both were laughing out loud. I totally recommend this video.』
(Great Product!!!) 『This is a great DVD. My son loves it and it is helping him learn about te potty. We will use it wit his brother, too..』
(Accidents Happen - a life lesson, not just for potty-training.) 『We bought this when my daughter was about 20 months-old and she saw it at a friend's house. She needed the messages of "keep trying" and "it's ok to fail." We talked about "Accidents Happen" while toilet-training, and still do even though she is now 4, though now we mean other sorts of accidents. Maybe your child is also sensitive? The gentle encouragement of this video may be helpful.
Some of the other reviews mention shock at the "potty-language" contained in thie video. Huh? What part of potty-training does not include words like "pee" and "poop"? It's beneficial for your kid to know what other people say so they aren't confused at day care, school, church, by babysitters, etc. Sometimes we forget that parents are not the only people that interact with our children.
I always loved Sesame Street as a kid, so I enjoyed the music, some of the older skits (I remember the kitten going up the stairs from when I was a kid), the the funny lines snuck in there just for parents. Some of the dialog drags and I could do without the last musical number (aaaak! in tune next time, please!). But the TP Rap and Accidents Happen make up for the slow bits. I also liked the way you can put the DVD in and it plays the Public Television intro, and then goes right to the movie without annoying menus, then auto-loops back to the beginning.
Good luck on your potty-training adventure.』
(Great.) 『I have twin 2 yr old girls and they love this dvd. The only part I don't like is some of the words kids use for poopoo. Dookie is not an appropriate word and they say it a couple of times. The seller was awesome though.』 『Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 08/22/2006』

The Happiest Baby, Inc.
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (A must have for all new parents) 『I am using this to teach teen parents. I wish I had it when I my children were newborns.』
(Great video) 『This video came highly recommended from a friend who is a new parent. It is absolutely fabulous - I am 7 months pregnant, so have yet to apply the (very simple) techniques learned in this video. One of my biggest fears is that I will not be able to calm my baby. It is amazing to see screaming babies in this video turn to relaxed and quiet in a matter of seconds (literally!). The video is giving me the confidence I need to be able to tackle being a new mom.』
(Extra Sleep . . . That's Music To Our Ears) 『As parents of twins, I can't begin to stress how valuable the techniques and tools that Dr. Karp offers on The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD were to us. Not only did this make us feel empowered to be able to calm and soothe our two little guys, but we were able to get them to sleep for longer periods of time. One of our boys was 8.5 lbs at birth and the other was 6.5 lbs. I tried to tandem feed them, but the ackwardness of the weight made it very uncomfortable. Being able to feed and bond with one at a time and being able to have the other one swaddled and soothed during the process, really made for a truly special experience that I was able to enjoy with each of them on their own. In conjunction with the DVD, we also used the Soothing Sounds CD. Our boys are now 4 years old and we are still using the CD at night . . . its amazing. The boys go to sleep easily and sleep for 11 hours. The CD also comes in handy when traveling as we are able to provide the boys with the familiarity of home. I highly recommend both of these products.』
(This really works!) 『I bought this for my daughter a few weeks before birth, hoping she would watch it. Of course things got busy with the new arrival and the DVD got pushed to the side. The other night the little angel would not be calmed and they thought of the DVD. The next day they watched it and low and behold the techniques worked! They finally got a good night's sleep. They only wished they had watched it sooner.
They said the quality of the video is simular to home movies, but you quickly forget that when your baby is calm and relaxed. It gives you such confidence to help your child calm down. Even when she wakes in the night it's feeding, change, and right back to sleep. (for everyone).
I highly recommend this DVD and hope all new grandparents help their new grandchild to be more relaxed in their 4th trimester.』
(Very helpful!) 『This DVD was very helpful, especially in learning how to do the techniques. We ended up buying one for our Doula so it could be apart of her library for other clients. It increased our babies sleep and by her second month she was sleeping through the night pretty consistently. The best is learning how to do the swaddle correctly!』 『Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Celtic Thunder DVD - an Awesome Show!) 『The original filming in Dublin, Ireland of this Celtic Thunder stage show includes thrilling music, a full orchestra, terrific staging, and 5 incredibly talented main singers. If you've caught any parts of this show via KOCE television, you'll LOVE this DVD. Beautifully filmed. I highly recommend it.』
(Number 1 new group of singers) 『Celtic Thunder is a very uplifting group. Fun to watch. Very talented group of singers. Now days this is hard to find in a group of singers.』
(Celtic Thunder DVD) 『I can't rate the show here because we could not watch it because the DVD would not get past the FBI disclaimer. Our DVD player is not the problem as we watched DVD's all weekend with no problem. We sent back the first one and they sent a replacement, but it did the very same thing. The quality of the DVD is awful and even though we were looking forward to the show, we simply can't get it to play. Things were so much better on the old VHS format because you did not have a device that hangs up on the FBI disclaimer for 5 minutes before the player shuts it off.』
(Outstanding) 『I watched this on TV, enjoyed it so much I had to have the DVD so I can watch it whenever I need my fix. I enjoy all of the music and highly recommend it.』
("Celtic," maybe, but not very Irish) 『This show is a sappy, over-the-top, pseudo-Irish show intended for American audiences, people who would not know Irish music if it bit them on the leg. It is basically a Broadway-style show, big production, what looks like lip-synched singing, etc.
Do NOT confuse this show with Irish music. This is Americanized semi-Irish stuff. If you like big, Broadway shows, you might like this. If you like Irish music, especially Irish traditional music, don't waste your time.』 『Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 03/18/2008』
IPhone 3G used's review (Rip off) 『Ordered and paid for the item. Never arrived. Amazon has done nothing. Seller doesn't communnicate. Buyer beware.』
(A Town Like Alice - Simply Fabulous) 『I loved this series, when I first watched in on television back in the '80s. Every couple of years I pull the tape off the shelf and re-watch it.
This is not just for Bryan Brown fans, but for the Gordon Jackson fans in the crowd. Jackson's portrayal of a man who falls in love too late in life, is very touching.
I would love to see it available on DVD!』
(4 Different Home Video Releases of this Film Read Before You Buy!) 『Anybody interested in purchasing this fabulous film on home video VHS should take a close look at which listing for it they are buying. The film was released 4 Different ways on VHS. By two different companies. STARMAKER which put out 3 Types and NEW WORLD which put out 1 version which is the most desirable. They are all the same film in various quality types. A Town Like Alice is NOT yet available on DVD. Here is the info on whats out there on VHS.
This version the first listed on AMAZON A Town Like Alice is for the One Tape EPmode STARMAKER release 301mins. EPMODE is the cheapest and also the lowest quality release! Since it is EP mode it will be hard to track on newer VCR's. STARMAKER also put out a much higher quality 3 Tape 301min Release SPMode 3 VHS Tapes - A Town Like Alice
The Third is yet another STARMAKER Release A Town Like Alice 2tapes LP Mode. Still NOT great quality. This is OK but not near as good as the second 3 tape SPMODE option.
The BEST and most desirable release is this 4th release of A Town Like Alice is a NEW WORLD Home Video Release 301mins Uncut on 2 high quality SPmode Tapes. These are two T-160 videos which means they have longer reels then standard T-120 tapes. Thats why they can handle a combine 301mins. on 2 tapes. So, not as complicated or cumbersome as having to get the 3tape vers. The bad news is that this version is NOT listed on amazon. BUT you can still find it if you look at the marketplace seller descriptions. If it is listed and described correctly you might be able to find the New World SPmode 2 tape uncut release.
Which ever one you want make sure you know what you're getting from the seller. It should clearly state which version it is. The seller might not of listed it correctly to the corresponding version.
If the price is cheap you'll probably getting the cheap one tape starmaker release. If you want this BRAND NEW this is most likely your only choice. However, keep in mind that the 2 Tape Spmode NEW WORLD Release USED will be better then any STARKMAKER release even if its NEW!
Hope this was helpful

(An utter shame that this movie is not available on DVD!) 『I actually was one of the first people to write a review on this site about this film almost 10 years ago, but felt compelled to write again because I just wanted to add my name to what is starting to look like quite the petition here. I am so impressed with and touched by so many other folks' passionate devotion to this film! The video powers-that-be absolutely need to bring this masterpiece to DVD!!! It's an utter shame that this hasn't yet been done considering all the crap that lives on DVD. Yeah... I'm bitter!!!
I just watched my purchased single VHS cassette that I acquired around the same time I wrote that first online review. Except THIS time, I made my husband watch it with me! Over the course of two nights, I re-visited my beloved old friend of a film while much to my joy, my husband watched it, was taken in, and ultimately (to his chagrin)... really ended up liking it! He said Jean was "feisty." How cute is that??? Now please keep in mind that he is someone who does not like watching romantic TV shows or movies--he prefers automotive programs, U.F.O. shows on the History Channel, and James Bond movies. LOL!!! Now my favorite thing to say to him is: "Do you love me enough to steal chickens and soap for me?" Ha, ha!
But truly... watching this entire beautiful entity again for the first time in many years made me more melancholy than anything else. First of all, because I madly adore these characters and their story and wish it could just continue on and on way after the end credits roll. After our viewing, I turned to my husband and quite decidedly declared: "I can officially say that Jean, Joe, and Noel are among my very favorite characters depicted on film... EVER."
Secondly, I was melancholy (even downright depressed!) because the quality of my EP speed-recorded VHS tape was so poor. Fortunately, unlike a lot of other ATLA fans, I have not repeatedly watched this tape over the time I've had it. But I do dread the day when my tape starts getting those telltale glitches. The day that this terrific work is released on DVD will be a glorious day indeed. That way, we can all finally bask in the wonderful cinematography depicting the exotic Malayan jungle backdrop that our beloved characters fall in love against and the big blue skies and red earth of the Australian scenery that Joe Harman loved so much. We too could witness the true colors of the Outback country that he longingly and lovingly describes to Jean at that point in the film where they are first really getting to know each other.
Please, please, PLEASE... o' video powers-that-be... this film deserves a DVD release like no other! And would it be too much to ask to get a behind-the-scenes featurette too??? Probably not likely on the latter, but I sure am keeping the faith on the former.』
(A Classic) 『Sadly this series doesnt seem to be available on DVD yet, I hope it soon will be. I remember watching it when I was little, when it was first shown on PBS in the states. I loved it, and as I have recently reading about WWII interment camps, i decided to try to find this. It is just as good as I remember, and I still admire the main character Jean, and still have a crush on Joe. Yes and I cried. It really isnt dated or cheesy, it was very well made I think.』

(great movie) 『i purchased this movie after owning the vhs copy of the movie i also had purchased the dvd previously and loaned it out but it was not returned to me so i repurchased it i have watched this movie numerous times and will continue to do so.』 『Despite an irritating, tacked-on voice-over narration that somebody must have thought was necessary to make sense of the story (it wasn't),Last of the Dogmenis actually a very moving and magical film. Tom Berenger plays a Montana bounty hunter who helps an anthropologist (Barbara Hershey) search for the descendants of a Cheyenne tribe who disappeared in the 1870s. What the two find in a remote mountain stretch is an entire community of Cheyenne who have kept themselves cut off from the modern world. ADances with Wolvesparallel emerges as the white outsiders gradually fit in, butLast of the Dogmenstands up just fine without comparison to any other films. As in Kevin Costner's Oscar-winning movie, however, there are ways in which this film captures a similar sense of yearning, mystery, and loss.--Tom Keogh』
