Good reviews on Sony Bravia KDL-32S3020? I need a good expert review on this product, I need some technical information on it too. I would preferably like a link to an external site. I have looked on Google but I just can't find any good reviews. Much appreciated.

I want to buy Apple iPods. Which site provides best information and price comparison? I think Become.com provides best data about products and prices. It is a comparison search engine designed to help consumers doing product research on the web. Become.com crawls over 3.2 billion web pages specifically from guides, expert reviews, consumer reviews, articles, specifications, forums, merchants, and a variety of other useful information to help consumers make better buying decisions. What you say?

Libel over a negative product review? I feel as if I'm doing so much work on another's behalf. My ex is accusing me of writing a neg review of his company. At first I thought nothing of it, but now he says he wants to go to court. I asked him if I could look at the reviews and he gave me the names of the forums they were posted on. It is possible to see that this guy was angry and felt like he was ripped off and the product was defective. He made one post, then was continually attacked by people whom he believed worked for my ex - which I know may or may not be true b/c only my ex and his brother work on these. I guess the product he got crakced and when he tried to return it, my ex told him it was after 30 days. I don't know if this is true b/c my ex seems like the type who would give a refund. The guy said he was offered an exchange, but didn't want it b/c he felt the product was defective. So, tons of attacks are made on this guy. Bantering goes back and forth for a few days. Some people are on his side, saying they don't like the look of the product. I've read these things extensively b/c I want to be prepared. My ex also told me to look at another forum. I did and the same type of review, on the same day was posted, but under a different name. When I looked at the guy's profile, it was the same last name. So, now my ex is blaming me. Saying that I wrote them. They were written on mainly the same day, with the same message, and around the time we broke up. I'm doing my own research b/c I have no money for a lawyer, and in fact, I'm preg with my ex's baby and have a 3 year old - I don't need this. I could see how he thinks it's me, but it wasn't. There is no convincing him. And now he says that he knows for sure it was my IP - which is ridiculous! He also claims that he wants to sue my dad b/c my dad pays the internet bill, so he is liable - I believe he is now attacking my dad b/c he realizes I have no money myself. I spoke to some IT experts who said it IS possible to make something look like it came ftom my IP - so naturally, I'm a little worried. Around the time of these postings, my computer came down with a virus, that I thought he had sent me. I'm not rich, but my parents are. I think he may be setting me up. If this is a real guy who is upset about the product, then shouldn't someone protect his freedom of speech? My ex can't just go around suing people who leave a negative review. The review is pretty harsh, but all that follow is the guy defending himself. I don't want to repost it, but this is the gist: "I bought some ... from ... and w/in a few weeks they cracked. When I called the owner was rude to me and I felt he ripped me off. Buyer beware!" How do I "Turn it around on him?"

unbiased reviews of natural beauty products? DOes anybody know where I can go to find out which "natural" beauty products are really natural? There are so many out there that say they are natural and organic, but I have read that many have only small amounts of anything natural and/or organic and the rest of the ingredients are just the same old stuff. Since I'm not an expert label reader and don't know what ingredients are dangerous I'm curious if there is a website out there that will help you determine which products are really ok and which ones just have pretty labels that sugar coat the names of the same dangerous chemicals that are in all of the other stuff.

Is everything we use on our skin these days toxic? A couple of years ago, I came across the book "don't go to cosmetics counter without me"; it's a book that contains skincare advise and product reviews by a skincare expert named Paula Begoun. Since then, I have been following Paula's advice and using the products she recommends. One of her main points was never to use products that contain alcohol, menthol, and always wear sunscreen etc. I noticed a great improvement in my skin after I started following her. A few days ago, I stumbled upon cosmeticsdatabase.com where I found out that I almost everything I use is toxic in someway or another; they cause cancer, allergies, hormonal changes, toxic to the organs, you name it! Even my contact lenses solution contains some harmful ingredients. My question is: do you know if these websites are based on scientific research or merely speculations or unwarranted studies? Unlike cosmetics companies, cosmeticsdatabase.com does not sell any products, so what would it gain by publishing faulty reviews?

I have some interesting ideas at times which I think could be developed into products or services? I have some ideas which I believ could be developed into products or services but I'm not really capable of doing it. Are there companies which take ideas and bring them to reality? I've seen some ads but I'd guess most are just some sort of scam. Do you have any personal experience with this or know of and companies which have been able to help someone you personally know see something happen with their idea. By the way, there's a great TV show in Australia which runs for a half an hour every week on primetime Tv. Each week it brings three average citizens who have a new invention to show. A panel of experts review the invention and make comments then pick the invention that they believe will be the most successful going to market. It's a great show if you have ideas. It should eventually make it to the US. So any help?

My litle gem of a computer? I bought a Sony Vaio UX380N micro pc. I have to say that I love this little guy. It is really convenient for like when I am laying in the bed, or need that extra ultraportability. My question here is this: Are there anyone out there in Yahoo land that has purchased or used one of the Sony Vaio UX model computers? And if so, could you please provide me with your reviews on the product? I keep trying to find reviews of the UX through the internet, but I have only found some ratings and maybe 3 reviews, which were more or less expert reviews. I was looking for actual consumers' reviews. Please reply if you can give me a review on the Sony UX model micro pc. Thanks

I finally have enuf money to buy this product ive seen on tv known as the ab rocket.Now im going to 10th grade? and very skinny, around 5'10ish and the only daily exercises i go through everyday is playing basketball with ma friends and lifting 10 pound iron dumb bells. I'm sick of my skininess and the way i look when my bone shows through my body everytime i take my clothes off .Now i read on the internet that the ab rocket has both positive and negative reviews. Experts say that the machine is more suitable for beginners and the resistance level will support your back, and i work long and hard for the 100$ i earned.So my question is : Is the ab rocket worth it? Does it break easily? Do you see results within weeks? and is it advised that i get it for the benefit of my body?

Home Theater Connections - Sony Bravia? I'm not an audiophile so just looking for some expert insight, not a product review. I have Sony DAV-HDX279w Bravia Surround Sound system (5.1). I have a Cox DVR & HD tv/channels. It seems like a lot of times on cable, only the sub and L & R speakers work and not the center/surrounds. All seems to be good when I'm playing DVDs. Sony support said I should get one of the following cables to address this. What does using either one of those get me? 1. Digital audio input (coaxial) 2. Digital audio input (optical) Last night I did hook up a digital coax from the theater system to my DVR, but the sound had a significant echo. Also, if anyone has used the iPod dock with this system, I'm curious about how to get the video to display on the tv. I can run Pandora radio though the sound, but thought I'd be able to see it on the tv too. Any insight is appreciated.

just purchased a Foreign Exchange Market Expert Advisor. I am new, need advice.? So i just bought this EA called "Ivory Tower" at itmt4.com. It backtests really well, and has done pretty good in live demo testing. However, I am not sure if I should go for it. I have searched EVERYWHERE and I can't seem to find reviews on the product good or bad. I don't want to tie my money into something that doesn't have a good reputation, but on the other hand it is testing really well. The only reason I bought it is because the offered a money back guarantee for 30 days so I figured why not. Now I am struggling with the idea of actually investing money with this thing. From my understanding the minimum you can put into an account is 2000, obviously for someone not insanely wealthy, this can be a significant amount of money. Does ANYONE have any experience with this product or in the foreign exchange trading. And if so can they tell me their experiences or offer me advice.

Does our own instinct to seek out whats best stop us from growing spiritually? Humans constantly read reviews of products looking for the BEST, look for the BEST car, look for the BEST place to live,look for the BEST in everything. If our attention is always towards what experts say is the BEST aren't we stopping ourselves from growing because we are making less errors which we learn from.

So about the new Para Ord GI Expert 1911..? Anyone used one, seen one, shot one? Anything useful to help me? I am really thinking about getting one because well as many people know, I to am falling for the damn 1911 design. I on the other hand don't have a grand or 2 to dump into one. I am also not a bells and whistles kind of guy to be honest. The GI Expert is supposed to be a base model style (like the ones used in WW1-vietnam even, now it isn't all GI Spec due to the trigger and hammer, but it's close enough for me to be satisfied with the looks and reviews and the price. Not to mention it ain't hard to change a trigger.) So does anyone have any input on this gun? This would be my 1st 1911 handgun.. Is it good, experiences, etc. Please don't tell me to get a colt or kimber unless you want to buy one as a gift for me lol. I just want a good 1911 that works, and if the time happened, will save my bacon.. I like the 1911 design because of the slimness and it is standard 8 rds so it isn't double stack (and I am comfortable with that.) This will be for home defense, carry, all that.. So any input is appreciated from anyone with info. All the reviews I come across are pointing to it's not a bad gun and some have ventured to say, the best 1911 for the money. SO what does everyone think? Here is a link to Para USA to check it out if you don't know what it is: http://www.para-usa.com/new/product_pistol.php?id=73 Thanks for all the help so far everyone. I am keeping my options open and looking and others to. This one just came at sort of a hell of a price so I am still looking at others with in the range as well..

Need help to choose between 22" LCD TFT montors?

Acer seems to be more popular, Philips is difficult to find any expert reviews. I have limited the resolution to 1680x1050, because i am buying this for a latop with integrated intel 950 gma graphics. and I hooked up a 22" with 1680x1050 and it worked fine, I am not sure if 1920x1080 will work, I hear it might not work. So, sticking with what I know for sure. I will be using it to watch movies mainly,

Should I become Makeup 'Guru' on youtube? Hi! First of all, I know a lot of people are trying their hand at being makeup guru on youtube. But, I was thinking that I could do it if I really wanted to. Now, I don't expect to be the next Bubzbeauty, I would be content if I knew at least some people watched my videos. But the problem is, I'm no makeup expert yet. I am still learning, but I know it would be helpful to others if I posted reviews on products I'm trying out and new looks I am trying. Also, I'm a tad young-I'm 14, and I wear glasses. Do you think I should go for it? I would do Makeup Tutorials, Product reviews, Hairstyle Tutorials and pretty much many things beauty related. If you think I should, should I make a whole new account for it? Right now my current username is RandomWafflez101 and I have only posted one music video. Thank you for reading that. Please give your honest opinions. Jaclyn-I actually subscribed to your channel a few days ago. I really love your tutorials and the concept of Beauty for all shapes, sizes and budgets.

L'Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Shine Blonde Shampoo? Basically, i got told about this shampoo by my hairdresser, as i was saying how i was sick of my hair turning yellow whenever i got blonde highlights put in. I get the two blondest highlights put in my hair, and ask for them put in so that it looks all one colour, and it does. It looks blonde which i want. Anyway, i've been looking up reviews on the internet about this shampoo, some people are saying only use it once a week as it can turn your hair purple(?!) Some are saying that it can dye your hands, so where gloves(?!) Some are saying that it is purely for appearance, and that it doesn't actually wash your hair, just makes it look better. Therefore, if that is the case, will i be able to use another shampoo straight after i have used this one, or will it cause the L'oreal to stop working? Any TRUE information on this product would be greatful. Thanks

For anyone who is interested, I'm starting a cosmetic review blog? http://daisyscosmeticsreviews.blogspot.com/ I have no reviews as of yet because I have no followers, but the moment I get a single follower, I'll get started on a review straight away :). I'll be reviewing most make up products, both high end and drug store brands. But I will also be reviewing some skincare products and the occasional hair product. I am NOT an expert, I'm just a normal 16 year old who loves to experiment with make up! Thanks :)

People who are experts with straightening- Straightener & product help!? Hey all. I am planning on asking for a straightener for xmas but don't know which one. I had normal dark dark brown hair that is either wavy, frizzy, or straight-depending on how i sleep.

And what do you think i should use on my hair before or after use to prevent from breakage. Thanks a bunchh! Chrissy

Should I switch from PC to iMac or Macbook Pro for Home Computer? I'm looking for advice from the mac experts out there. I am an IT professional who has been using Microsoft based PCs for 12 + years. While I'm by no means a microsoft fan, I XP Pro does everything I need it do. I'm thinking of switching to iMac or Macbook Pro so home computing will be "fun" again. But as I read forums and product reviews on Apple's websites I'm scared to switch. I want to use a new mac for light photo editing & organizing, creating movies from camcorder to DVD with menu chapters, creating basic web pages, and creating spreadsheets & documents. Here are my questions: For light editing is Aperture 2.0 worth $200 or is iPhoto sufficient? Is iMovie 08 as bad as all the reviews on Apple's website? What to people think of iWeb? Are iMacs any more/less reliable then Macbook Pros? Is iWork 08 worth $80? It sounds like (in the Apple reviews) Apple software has just as many problems as software for PCs, what are peoples thoughts on this?

Is this a good mission statement? i want to make sure this sound good. Can you all help me? Any thoughts ideas? ect... I just changed it so I want to make sure I changed it for the better....

10 year old Bianchi road bike VS a new GMC Denali road bike? I found a 10 year old Bianchi bike for $175 at bike store while I also found $150 GMC Denali road bike at Walmart.com. Customers who owned this product for a year reviewed that it is a decent one for the price. What do you expert bike folks think?? I am a starter, and I want to drive this around at paved trail park.

Need expert help deciding on best price/performance desktop computer parts (Oct 14th, 2010? My goal is to choose parts that give the best price/performance in the upper end of the spectrum. I have selected parts based upon rating from Newegg.com as well as visiting Tom's Hardware website as well as some Overclocking forums and benchmark forums. I have come up with the below list: CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8 GHz Reasoning: (Using this website: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html#) it shows that this is pretty much the only CPU that has a high performance and costs below US$ 200. It costs only US$192 where I live (Taiwan) GPU: Nvidia GTX 460 1GB (MSI, GIGABYTE, ASUS, GALAXY) Reasoning: (Using this website: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html) it shows that only this video card along with the Nvidia GTX 465 and ATI Radeon HD 5850 are viable options as they are similarly priced. According to reviews on various forums and websites however, they recommend this one as better than the GTX 465 (1 GB version) and gives the best price/performance. Also, bothe Nvidia videocards offer 3D options, which is useless now, but might be useful a year or two from now, something that ATI cards don't have. I am however, open to suggestions as to why HD 5850 or GTX 465 is better. (please give in depth reasons). RAM: G. Skill 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC312800) Ripjaw Series Cas Latency:7 Timing: 7-8-7-24-2N Reasoning: Truth is I am going with recommendations on a forum (don't remember which), the persons reasoning is that DDR3 2000 does not have any significant performance advantages over the 1600, plus 1600 can be overclocked, and with good ventilation lowing the timing of this G. Skill memory will give very adequate performance when compared to the higher and pricier DDR3 2000s. There is a whole article written on why DDR3 2000 offers almost no performance/too little performance advantage over the DDR3 1600 to even be considered. I checked, and G. Skill is the only memory that offers this timing (relatively low) at ~UD$94 compared to all other major brands. Power Supply: Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W Reasoning: Again I am going with Newegg best rated power supply, which is the an 80 Plus Certified, the only gripe I have with this one is that it is not Modular so it will make a mess inside the case and cause bad ventilation. I am open to suggestions on this one because it Taiwan they charge almost UD$190 which is twice as much as in the US!! I would really like to have a second option here. Motherboard: I wanted to get the MSI NF980-G65 AM3 (nForce 980a SLI) Reasoning: AMD CPU with a Nvidia Video card I just didn't have a lot of choices here. This motherboard is kinda pricy and it is not locally available in Taiwan (god knows why, we manufacture these things...) however, so I am definitly open to suggestions on older and good models as long as the motherboard is not going to become a bottleneck for the system (CPU and video card are in comparison, semi high-end). Also if someone can explain to me how the motherboard affects overall performance, I will be eternally grateful. I don't find a lot on the new talking about motherboard, its mostly on the other computer parts. Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 Reasoning: It's what everyone recommends CPU Fan and Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 120mm Reasoning: Most recommended and cheap (~US$30) on newegg. However, I read negative reviews about it and they claim that it is hard to install, its heavy and can stress the board and stuff like that. So taking that into account, is there a better option? Open to suggestions. Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 ATX Mid Tower Reasoning: Lots of recommendations both on newegg and other websites. I like the design of the case and it is reasonable in price (~UD$ 100) Sound Card: ASUS Xonar Essence STX Virtual 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192 KHz Reasoning: I always went with Creative products many years ago, and the last card i have from them is the X-Fi Fatality but I absolutely hate their drivers (I think its their drivers causing all the problems in my system, slow start up ,hanging and stuff like that). So I am DEFINITIVELY going to go with something else this time around. This is the highest rated card I could find. I know this one is NOT bang for the buck, but because I already have a set of Klipsch 5.1 surround and Seinnheiser HD 650, I wanted the best sound card available as I am a little bit of a audiophile. This one, I would seek recommendations if BETTER card is available. I already have the keyboard, mouse, screen, HD, etc. so those I will not be replacing. All the experts that see this post, please kindly advise (correct) me of my choices, I want to make the most educated purchase possible. Thanks in advance for all your help!! Sincerely, Yun De Wang Maplestoria - Thanks, at least I am assured that I am not way off mark on this one. :) Buford T. Justice - Did you have a good meal? Haha.. Your input is greatly appreciated. You are right, the HD 5850 does run most games better than the GTX 460. However, when I did some researched, it seemed that GTX 460 (and GTX 465) handles DirectX 11 much better than HD 5850 (nVidia cards better at tessellation). The last time I built a computer was almost 7 years ago, so I am a little out of touch with the current tech, but won't most/all future software/games run on DirectX 11 environment (then Dx12, 13, 14, etc.)? If so, wouldn't it be wiser to kinda "future-proof" the hardware a little, at least for a couple of years? Oh and, could you recommend two or three motherboards that fit my build? The one I want is not sold in Taiwan, I would have to imported from the US (a hassle). Looking forward to your reply, thanks!! Yun De

Samsung St5000 Touchscreen Problems? I just bought this camera today and haven't decided if I should buy the warranty for it. I normally don't buy it cause I have never had a problem with any of my electronics. But since it is a touchscreen I don't know if it is more likely to break down. I do have a DS which is the closet thing I have to a touch screen and have owned it since 2007 and have 0 issues with it. I have looked all over the internet and can not find any user reviews, just expert and they say nothing about the touchscreen except for that the camera has one. So I'm wondering if anybody owns this camera and if they have had any issues with the touchscreen and/or if anybody knows of a site with user reviews for this camera. This is the link to the camera from the store that is selling it: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-st5000-14mp-digital-camera-orange-ec-st5000-orange/10140472.aspx?path=da3171256725b42d2a509d3f613adfecen02

Which road bike should I get? The Specialized Tarmac Expert and the Motobecane Immortal Spirit? I can get both for the same price--$2,000. The Motobecane has a lot of components that are better than the Specialized (namely, the Shimano Dura Ace, rather than Ultegra), but I'm not sure how I feel about the frame and the bike's stability (saw some so-so reviews). Specialized is known for their quality workmanship and great warranty coverage. Also, the Tarmac has received tons of 5-star reviews and is supposedly a very light, stiff, solid frame. Being a novice in road biking, but looking to competitively ride in duathlons and triathlons, I expect to use the bike a lot for both training and competition. So, which do I get???? Links to the bikes are as follows: Specialized: http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=22285 Motobecane: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/immortalspirit_08instock.htm

Intake of dairy products increase mucus in body? Ive heard this from some "health experts" but haven't found any peer reviews to verify this "fact". Anyone have any suggestions? I understand "dairy" constitutes many different things like lipids, casein, etc. Im just trying to understand. Me too sparkle I avoid it often merely for this reason, also, it makes my nose run!

Carseat Experts!!!? I've been studying the carseat scene for a while and thought I'd decided on the Britax Boulevard until reading some negative reviews on Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B0018CEIDO/ref=cm_cr_dp_hist_2?%5Fencoding=UTF8&filterBy=addTwoStar The Radian 80 seems pretty good too, but also some negative commentary regarding it's use in rear facing positon which is how I'd like to use it till the weight limit maxes out. Britax is 35 lbs. and Radian is 33. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B001B50KN0/ref=cm_cr_dp_hist_3?%5Fencoding=UTF8&filterBy=addThreeStar I also have an older Volvo without the LATCH system. Any opinions?

Does the Usana 5 day reset program cause infertility to women? I have recently purchased the 5 day reset program of Usana from my gym instructor. Many of his other clients have started using the program and reported to have promising results, losing a number of pounds in the duration. So I have decided to try it myself. However, as I was reading the ingredients and reviews of the product, I have learned that too much soy (which is the main component of the drink I'm supposed to intake two times a day in 5 days) intake can be harmful to health, especially to the hormones. For clarification, I tried reading more studies and journal articles via the internet but they show different conclusions regarding the effects of soy to fertility. What am I supposed to believe? My fear is that I'm only 20 years old and I have plans of building a family in the future. I want to lose weight but I am not sure if I'm willing to risk my chance of having children for that matter. I need some expert advice here. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start the program already.

Best 5 channel amplifier for sound quality SQ? I'm in the process of purchasing all part I need to build my car sound system from the stock head unit of a Mazda3 2011. So far I got: -Four speaker Rockford Fostgate P1653 -Alpine sound integration audio processor PXE-H660 For the Amplifier, I favor 1 & 2 because it match my speakers and for the frequency response. 1-BOSTON ACOUSTICS GTA-1005 [They sell the bass boost knob separately] 2-JBL GTO-5355 [No reviews about this product] 3-MB QUART ONX4.80/500 [Looks good but over power my speakers] 4-HIFONICS Zeus ZXI60.4+1K [May not be built for SQ and reliability] 5-Audiobahn A5005J [I think this brand is crap] For the Subwoofer, I'm thinking one of these, in a custom molded Stealthbox in the corner of the trunk. I'm not doing hair dryer completion, it's only to enjoy music. 1-JL AUDIO 10W3v3-4 2-FOCAL 30 A1 Other Gadget and stuff. -Peripheral iSimple ISMZ571 -Soundstream WK-4G installation kit I want mind blowing sound quality in my car and I don't want thief to know I got anything. I may upgrade my speaker in the future for JL or Focal. This post may help others who want to build a similar system, so expert car audio advice are more that welcome.

But i read about them on a few yahoo answers and they have been given bad reviews. Infact I have the loreal total repair 5 shampoo and conditioner which is not that effective.

Help on review this laptop!? This laptop is manufactured by Gateway, I suggest you should take a look at wikipedia if you don't know about it. The laptop is Gateway® NV5337u(http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668354.php). I need help from Yahoo! Answers users(especially top contributors/the expert at this) to review this laptop in terms of: a) Money (Consider that the value of the money is worth by the spec of the laptop?) b) Fineness (The "fineness" in this state means whether the laptop can stand for a long use) c) And whether the laptop is worth to buy or not? d) I'm a hardcore gamer,you should know that this laptop can handle the heavy games(like Borderlands, UT 3, Prototype, and much more) e) Just asking , is that really that expensive or not? ASUS G50VT-X5 Is it better or worse than the laptop?

Were the guidelines of this Disney subsidiary company misleading? I work at a new child's educational toy company called PenPal Notes (http://penpalnotes.com/) that submitted our product for the iParenting Media Awards Program (http://iparentingmediaawards.com/). We paid $250 for our submission, hoping to benefit from the reviews they promise: "Three outside evaluations (evaluation sites may include: an expert, a family and a childcare setting); Review by the iParenting Media Awards Executive Committee; A snapshot of the evaluator feedback from the three outside evaluator sites." Instead, this is the sum total of what we received: "I would condense the facts on each president to numerous cards, maybe have a practice test at the end of each presidents reign to test the facts, or add a few word games to make it fun. The place mat was a good idea but it did not come packaged I would suggest a tube packaging to store it. The only things I would do is try to make the item less bulky so it can be stored easily or travel well. I would also make the cards laminated and put an expo marker with it for reuse. Lastly, I would make the stickers those reusable types. I would make the post cards more sturdy, I found that they were very easy to tear if not held properly and taken care of. It might be nice to have them laminated like the place mat that came along with the set." While their description led us to believe that the reviews would be quite comprehensive, they were in fact quite careless and did not even look as if they had been proofread! We contacted iParenting, and their response indicated that they did not think that there was a real problem. Do you think that we should pursue this matter further?

How accurate is this assessment of the decisions that led to the action to start the Iraq War? The updated version of this controversial documentary -- which takes you behind the walls of the U.S. government as CIA, Pentagon and Foreign Service experts address the government's reasons for launching the "preemptive" war on Iraq in 2003 -- includes almost 30 minutes of brand new footage. Paired with this title is director David O. Russell's controversial antiwar documentary, Soldiers Pay.

Where Moore's product delivers with flair (at times at the expense of substance), this film offers the subtantive factual support. Overall, this was an excellent product. The commentators used came from an intelligence background, giving weight to their opinions. Further, several commentators were used. The picture painted of Bush's decision to use the congressional authority to go to war is frightening, and sad. A true abuse of power is disclosed. 518 out of 784 people found this review helpful. I found this review Mort in DTW 68% Similar To You Mort in DTW's other reviews > What this documentary has over every other on this topic is a dispassionate focus on incontrovertible facts: The Bush Administration wittingly lied about WMDs and their motives for invading Iraq and covered lies with more lies. The sober examination of facts by scores of CIA agents, weapons inspectors, governmental officials and others (including several Republicans) should cause bewilderment at the American publics willingness to either look the other way or, worse, believe neocon disinformation despite the truth. There is no reasonable evidence to support any Bush Administration claim or speculation regarding American policy in Iraq since September 2001, except for the fact that Iraq exists. Where Fahrenheit 9/11 is an entertaining overview intended for a wider audience, this is a must for anyone who is curious about what the experts (all disinterested and thoughtful) have to say.

I found this review Thorwald 64% Similar To You Thorwald's other reviews > I didn't need convincing that Bush and his cronies are liars and Imperialists. What I enjoyed about this movie is that there are more people like me that are willing to speak out, and that doens't make them unpatriotic or that they don't support their troops. It seems the Neo-Conservatives that try to shut down those that disagree are just hiding behind a convenient bumpersticker catch-phrase ("Support Our Troops") that has no merit. Of course we support them. We just question the validity of WHY they are there in the first place. (Which just changes with the seasons!) To me, it IS patriotic to express my freedom of speech, even if it disagrees with yours. Back to the film...Anyone still hanging onto Bush's lies about Iraq will never be convinced otherwise, so this film is not for them. They can live in happy ignorant bliss for all I care. I enjoyed it because it showed that there are many people in all branches of the government that question this administration's policies and are willing to hold them accountable. 435 out of 770 people found this review helpful. I found this review Most Recent Reviews KR 1456112 48% Similar To You KR 1456112's other reviews > A very thorough, well researched and well sourced (to the point of repetitive) documentary about the run up to and the aftermath of the George W. Bush's preemptive invasion of Iraq. I am pretty familiar with most of the lines of the argument...and the truth was clear to me even prior to the invasion. It was hard not to see what was happening while it happened with the blatant (to the point to idiotic) fearmongering being engaged in by the Administration to sell their war. Well, after what happened, by impression about the collective level of the intelligence of the American people dropped a few notches. Like Bush, they were either too stupid to figure out con job, or they were totally in on it themselves. The most infuriating aspect of all of this is how the dire consequences of this ill-fated adventure will affect the US down the line, while Bush and entire Administration (including paeons like Scooter Libby) will walk away totally scot free. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Well anyways any advice its greatly appreciated(: or reviews on the products I listed. Please help, and happy early thanksgiving(:

Is the Supplement pill, Pink Magic, safe for teens ages 17? My friend and I are both 17. I am about 5'7, weighing about 145, and I wrestle. My friend, on the other hand, stands at about 6'0, and weighs about 175 pounds. While I maintained my weight during wrestling season in the winter, he was busy gaining weight and hitting the gym harder than I was. Now, he takes a supplement called Pink Magic. After skimming through some reviews, It seems to be a really great product, but it is labeled as a " Natural Testosterone Booster". I'm no expert, but I've heard it's bad for teenagers to be adding testosterone to their bodies, when they're bodies are already making so much. I am really confused, as my friend seems to be going up in weight at the gym and on his body rapidly, and I'm still at 145 pounds. I'm not sure what to do. All help is greatly appreciated.

Which camera should I get? I dont know which camera would be better. Sony - Cyber-shot 8.1MP Digital Camera Model: DSC-T70/B http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8440207&type=product&id=1183160353819#tabbed-customerreviews or Sony - Cyber-shot 10.1MP Digital Camera Model: DSC-W170/B http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1202649178739&type=product#tabbed-customerreviews They are both the same price yet the first one has 8.1 MP rather than 10.1.But the first one has a touch screen and some better characteristics than the 2nd one, but then again the 2nd one has more MP. is 8.1 MP pretty good enough? im not a camera expert. which one should i get? they both have great customer reviews as well.

Will this RAM be compatible with my laptop? I have a Toshiba Satelite A215-S4747 (specs at the following 2 sites...): http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/toshiba-satellite-a215-s4747/4505-3118_7-32517988.html?tag=sub http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/rdet.jsp?poid=383144 4allmemory.com says that my laptop specifically takes this kind of RAM: 2GB DDR2-667 (PC2-5300) SO-DIMM, and ensures that this specific product will be 100% compatible. http://www.4allmemory.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.memorySearch&model_id=-7499&memory_id=-101071 I found a cheaper DIFFERENT BRAND memory, that appears (although I'm no expert) to have the same specs, at the following two links: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208323 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231147 Are those both going to be compatible? Reviews of people say they are compatible with their "Satelite A215's"...but don't specify my exact design. I would assume that should cover all A215's, including mine - but one guy said it's not compatible with his Satelite A215 S4747 - my exact model (but was very brief, and I'm wondering if he just didn't know how to do it right or something). Both of those cheaper RAMS have multiple people saying it works for their "Satelite A215's", but not specifically my A215-S4747. Thanks. PLEASE ONLY POST IF YOU ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THIS SUBJECT, AND ARE NEAR-CERTAIN OF YOUR RESPONSE. THANKS! I know certain companies have tools that will ensure that I can find specific matches for my exact laptop......but that is for their price - which is about $30-$100 more than what I can get it for from other sites. So please don't direct me to those sites. Thanks.

Are cheap graphic tablets any good? Digipro VS Genius? In factory direct store in my place, there are two tablets that are cheap. GENIUS USB MOUSEPEN 8x6 -- $59.99 Reviews: (from Google) http://painting.about.com/od/digitalart/gr/GeniusMousePen.htm http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=49666408/search=Genius%20tablet/st=product/sv=title DIGIPRO 4"x3" GRAPHICS TABLET -- $29.99 Reviews: (from Google) http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=WP4030&cat=MOU I noticed the size, one is bigger than the other. I'm just looking for best performance or popularity. The other sizes are sold out. These two are the remaining ones. Which one would you recommend for a beginner? (not really a beginner, not an expert either; i'm in the middle) Thanks in advance for any advice. Thanks guys! Wacom is really popular but i can't find it in any stores/mall near in my place. I have no experience in buying stuff online and that they are more expensive, that's why I can't buy Wacom yet. Maybe, when I become an expert, then i'll buy. Btw, I bought Genius MousePen 8x6 today. Hopefully, it'd be awesome. Thnx for all the comments. ^^

Will a 430 watt power supply fit in my Foxconn mATX case? This computer was given to me. It's a Foxconn case (I recently found out), a mini tower. I've measured the best I can, and I"m not expert. Here's a shot of my case. This is exactly how it looks, however the Newegg link seems to be more accurate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811153028 http://www.techsupplyshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2394_2400&products_id=55631 It came with a weak ISO 300w power supply, and I want to put in a Radeon 4650 (a simple AGP card for my mobo...no pci express x16). I believe the recommended psu is 400, and I"m looking at a 430w, due to being a great price on Newegg. So would a PSU like this (same basic rear/socket-facing fan config) fit in my case? It's a tight fit due to a mini, but if you read the reviews on Newegg tons of people have swapped out the weak PSU. Here's an example of something I'm looking at (I don't want to spend 70+ for a PSU when you can get something decent on a good sale) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023 Any suggestions and comments are welcome. I basically want to know if it will fit, don't want to debate over the PSU way too much unless you have something really insightful! THANKS! Will I have to worry about the holes lining up since this PSU is bigger? How is that handled? I just want to be able to pop in, screw to secure, and hook her up. I'd hate for it not to fit, holes not line up, or jerry rig it.

Is the ASUS MS226H monitor good for gaming? I just purchased the ASUS MS226H from Walmart and I'd like an expert to tell me if I made a good choice. I read all the reviews on newegg.com for it and everyone who bought it seemed to like it. I'm used to playing on an old 19" CRT tv from like 2004, no HD or anything like that. I'm a big Call of Duty player and I'd really like to take the game a bit more seriously (I want to make commentaries eventually) so I'm going out of my way to try and get things that I think will help with that. So I'm asking the experts, did I make a good choice in selecting this monitor? And will I see a noticeable difference from my old 19" CRT?

I have a new web site for my business, I have paid to have my web page constructed. Does it make sense to you? I have new product that I sell on line. I paid to have my web page constructed. If anyone knows anything about web pages, could you please review my site and page and let me know if it is easy to understand. Sometimes I think that I get too close to the product and need to know if someone who knows nothing about Design Plan In A Can can get the inforation they need from the site. Is it self explainitory? Do you understand the product? Could it be laid out in a simpler way? I am no expert and want to make sure that it is an effective site..

My new R.A.M. Runs only at 800Mhz, its rated for 1066! Please Help!? Hi, i just decided to upgrade my ram. I went from four gigs, four sticks 1 gig per stick of 667mhz ram. I have upgraded my motherboard recently to a gigabyte MA785GM-US2H. The ram i just purchased not long ago is Kingston HyperX 4 gigs, 2gigs per stick and i have 2 sticks aligned for dual channeling with the room for upgrading in the future. Heres a link to the exact ram i bought from new egg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104098 THE RAM IS RATED FOR 1066Mhz and i cannot get it to run past 800!!!!!!! I read the reviews prior to purchasing and saw that it may require some BIOS tweeking. I checked in my BIOS and the only options i had was for a maximum of 800Mhz or lower. And the timings on 800 is 555 stock so i was able to overclock that to 666. I am not an expert of overclocking ram, is that ram supposed to run at 800Mhz and can only be overclocked to a timing of 666, or am i doing something wrong? The box my motherboard came in says DDR2 1200+ and on newegg the exact motherboard says it can run 1066. Please if im doing something wrong let me know. I am pretty tech savvy, just tell me what to do and i will have no problems figuring it out. I was even crazy enough to flash the BIOS to the latestpreviouss, thankfully it wassuccessfullyl. Thanks for the help guys, yeah testing each individual stick was a good and thoughtfull idea, unfortunately it seems as though i may be stuck running at 800 at least untill i upgrade my mobo. Thanks everyone

Compatible Flash Card Not Working with camera? I have a samsung 2.0 megapixel digimax 230. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Samsung/samsung_d230.asp and I have a lexar professional 233x 8gb memory card http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=lexar+professional+233x+8gb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=15091956655617222375&ei=ZEiKTMfLK8yNjAexm7H9BQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCUQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers the website we bought the memory card off said the memory card would be compatible yet when its inserted into the camera the camera turns on then wont allow me to do anything. the LCD screen doesnt turn on and no functions are available. i think perhaps the card needs formatting. but im not an expert with camera's. any other idea's? or can someone tell me how to format the card?

I need a good mechanical eye-liner pencil that actually last all day & doesn't smudge???? Help!!!!? I can't tell you how many eye-liner pencils I've gone through in the past months & cant find a good one. Every time I get a new pencil I hate it bc it never stays on. I am currently using Maybelline expert wear ebony black, It really sucks bc It doesn't stay on for about 5 minutes. I am having a hard time finding a good one then when I think it looks like it will work in the package I buy it then hate it.... I've checked out some reviews on: Covergirl perfect point plus eyeliner, says it works well, thought about trying it. http://www.amazon.com/CoverGirl-Collection-Perfect-Eyeliner-Bottles/dp/B003AVNSLO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top What do you use that works really well for your eyes, I need something that wont iritate my eyes, dark black, last a long time & water resistance. Thanks Your suggestions would be VERY appreciated!!! * I do not like the regular pencil eyeliners. Just saying.

Buying a microscope!? Hi all, I am a biology major and I am interested in buying a microscope. The thing is I'm not sure of what kind to buy. I would prefer a digital one because it's just easier over all. The reason I want one is because I have become obsessed with observing desmids in my biology class. I would like one for my house so I can make observations and try to identify different microorganisms I might find in ponds, river's, lakes, etc., this summer. Besides the tiny organisms I would like to observe, I'd like to look at blood cells, skin cells, and bugs as well. So I'm looking for a microscope that can zoom out enough to look at ants or flies maybe, and zoom in enough to be able to observe microorganisms maybe even water mites up close, and with good clarity (not fuzzy). I found this Celestron online (http://www.celestron.com/c3/product.php?CatID=81&ProdID=605) but it just seems too good to be true. It has everything I need plus a camera and video capturing device, as well as a slot for an SD card so I can transfer the data to my PC... I tried to look for reviews on this microscope but couldn't find much and no videos on it either. So my question basically is, to all the experienced and expert microscope users, should I go with this scope? Yes? No, if not what would you recommend? Any one else want to give me there opinion and some advice?

How do I S.T.A.R. my key achievements on my CV? After 6 months unemployed and blaming the credit crunch, I've decided to be a little more proactive in my job hunt (the redundancy money is running out though secretly I'd still like the rest of the summer off!) My CV has been reviewed by an online expert for the princely sum of £10 and I got the following advice back. You need to qualify and quantify each of your achievements by showing measurable results. A helpful way that you can do this is to use STAR - Situation - Task - Action - Result - as a template for each of your bullet points. I've had a go but I'm struggling as I'm trying to use positive words to identify success and it makes it very wordy. My CV is already at 2 pages long which is apparently the max it should be. As an example to help me, how would you STAR the following 2 achievements? Don't worry if you make up lies, it is a CV afterall! 1. I was the Technical Business Analyst, Project Manager and Development Team Leader on this 6-month project to create a new DB2 database with a web front-end and CICS/COBOL back-end. 2. Project Manager on a new billing project to replace the old monthly billing with a new daily billing system. This included development and QA teams, DBA's and senior managers in the finance department as well as working with two offshore development teams. This is my attempt but I don't think it follows STAR very well, but, like I say, I'd like to get the message across in less, not more words. 1. Technical Business Analyst, Project Manager and Development Team Leader on a 6-month project to create a new [product name removed] database and website. Organised design meeting across 4 separate companies to design a system that overcame management concerns over security and data sharing. 2. Project Manager on a new billing project to replace the old monthly billing with a new daily billing system. Coordinated two offshore development companies so they could work together effectively and successfully deliver the project on time. It isn't easy. I can do the job, just can't write the CV to get the interview! Thanks very much.

I'm confused about the network adapters? Hello! I was considering a Wifi adapter for my desktop PC since it didn’t have one to receive signals. Now I’ am confused between two brands and I don’t know the how to analyze the configuration given on the box of the adapters. The two brand and the models are(click on the link): 1.http://dplanet.biz/alfa.com/product_info.php?products_id=342 2.http://reviews.cnet.com/adapters-nics/cnet-cua-854-5dbi/4507-3380_7-32601389.html?tag=mncol;psum Now, neither of the brands is much familiar to me. So I thought I did just ask the experts in this site for an opinion, I would be obliged if someone could help me figure out which one to opt for. If you don’t mind could you please mention the difference between the two. thankU.

Is mychanelstore.com real? Can an expert tell me if this website does sell real chanel? please review......http://www.mychanelstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=114&products_id=392 I know real Chanel sells their items for THOUSANDS of dollars so it doesn't make sense, i know it can't be that cheap? Can a expert that really knows this website tell me? Is this website like those other fake ugly trashy sites where they sell fake designer items?

Edshoe.com is the products fake or real? I was recently told about this site that you could get name brand stuff at a good price. Well I know all about the to good to be true deal so I need no lecture on that. Has anyone actually had an experience with this site or purchased something from there. I dont think the nike shoes are real but Im no show expert either, what about the clothing it seems to look real. I cant seem to find any reviews or even complaints about the site. So does anyone know about the site or purchased anything from there. I just want to know are the products fake or real thanks. And info about the site.

Can't decide between two graphics cards?

Also from a security standpoint what would I need to address in Windows if I have a NAS, will Windows file sharing be secure between the users/server/clients? My point with the NAS was to save money and separate the data from the server processor (only OS+apps)…also the cheapest servers on Dell have about a 2.4GHZ processor and a 160GB hardrive for about 1600….would buying a nice desktop and putting Windows Server 2008 on it be a better option?? I looked on cnet.com and certainly found that the Buffalo Terastation Home Server NAS (2TB) is my best option...but its uses mirroring and spanning instead of RAID and its write performance is slow due to its RAID 5 configuration.

Also how much onboard memory would I need to have on one server that would someday have 2 Terabytes of memory...wouldn't that be really expensive? I also thought separating the data from the OS+apps would result in better performance and a server that is easier to manage and the server wouldn't have to cache data storage. The NAS emulates a windows share (CIFS). Also I will contact the software company about the active directory thing because I don't want to have to buy two servers that ridiculous.

How much does an ecommerce operations manager make? need help? Ok, I need help/opinions. I am an ecommerce operations manager for a major retail apparel website. And our area of the company has grown enormously in the last year so there has been more focus and money thrown at us (since online businesses are growing at a rapid pace nowadays). So things have been restructured a bit and I just acquired a new boss. She told me flat out that what I get paid ($45,600) is way below industry standards….so she is going to work on getting me more money. Especially since new people below me will be brought in (since we are much larger part of the business now) at/around my current salary. But she wants me to do research to see what other people in my role are getting paid. I did plenty of research…looked on monster, salary.com, simply hired.com, but didn’t come up with anything informative. When I did searches for my title…it gave me a general salary…which was inbetween $65-80,000 a year. But none of them really came with descriptions. So when I presented this to my boss, she said that because they don’t have descriptions, this information isn’t exactly credible (since those positions might not be exactly what I do). So just reaching out -- asking if anyone can give me any information on what is accurate pay for an Ecommerce Operations Manager? If you are one, or know someone who is in this role…if you could give me any type of credible information that I could give to my supervisor, would be an enormous help! A little background, I’ve been working for this company for almost 5 years. I came fresh out of college starting out as product setup person (set up and pushed all new product to the site)…also did a lot of photoshop touch up work. But since then I’ve been promoted 4 times. But here is some of what I do: Responsible for on time execution and accuracy of all online content, art and site promotional programs. Manages the operations team to ensure all new site updates are implemented on schedule. (2 people report directly to me) Responsible for managing the process to push all products to the site, as well as all landing pages and banners. Creates, controls and updates all navigational changes. Creates collections of product for each trend or promotion being advertised on web or through email,. Build an online catalog for each mail piece The in-house expert for all ecom operations systems/tools. Trains all operations team members in tools, and production practices including QA processes. Works with merchant team to assure satisfactory representation of all products online. Proofs and approves all emails prior to scheduling. Review daily online analytics for visitor behavior online using Omniture and other reporting Responsible as the team lead in new feature or site development on an ongoing basis. Advanced in Photoshop, Scene7, Dreamweaver, HTML, and our ecom ops tools Again, any help or information would be great…really trying to get a salary bump! Thanks so much.

Will these motherboards work with my pc? (harddrive etc..)? Hi, I own a compaq presario Sr1900nx. Now I am no computer expert or anything close so please forgive me but I just wanted to know if a MSI P6N SLI Platinum motherboard or a XFX nForce 680i LT SLI work with my computer ? Ive been pretty confident that they will work since my case is ATX but recently Ive thought about harddrives and everything else that will connect to the motherboard so will they work ? I hope so Information about my current motherboard can be found here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00714521&lc=en&cc=no&dlc=no&product=3284971&rule=37951&lang=no Information about my pc can be found here http://review.zdnet.com/desktops/hp-compaq-presario-sr1900nx/4507-3118_16-31975699.html?tag=ut

can sum1 give me a list of all of the Procter and Gamble products that test on animals??!! on the policy page on procter and gamble, it says: -Research involving animals is a last resort at P&G. It is only considered once every other reasonable option has been exhausted. The vast majority of our tests do not use animals. Whenever possible, we use computer models, synthetic materials, published scientific studies and what our consumers tell us about the products they use. We seek input from the world's leading experts to continuously improve our approach, and have stopped working with researchers who do not meet our high measures. We continue to foster independent review of our standards and inspection of our facilities by leaders in the field of animal care. Can someone give me a list of ALL of the procter and gamble products and brands that DO test on animals? and does always and tampax test on animals?

That's the company's tag line. And they deliver. LOVETHELAB?************ I'm a BD flow lover, a confirmed Mac user (I tell everyone "I don't do Windows"). So why am I touting a machine made by Amnis that requires Windows? Because this instrument goes above and beyond mere flow cytometry- it shows you every event (that's cell to non-flow users) in detail. I used it and I am sold. It takes a single experiment now to do intracellular localization, in place of two. A simpler caspase activation assay. What's not to love? Even the computer quandary is solvable (the one feature I'd change: I'd have it run off a Mac) - with an Intel Mac; just get Parallels software, install Windows, and you are good to go, or rather, run. And the ImageStream can run off an Intel Mac this way too. I bought an Intel iMac just for analysis. Installation of Parallels was easy, IDEAS is about as intuitional as any flow software package. And Amnnis reps bend over to be helpful. Don't let the price tag scare you; rather, help write a shared- instrument grant (we did) for your institution to get one. It is simply amazing.

The most comprehensive flow cytometry and analytical cytology website I have found. You will find resources ranging from archived protocols to request forms for the latest protocols CD-ROMs - and they are free while supplies last. Job listings, meetings, journals, latest developments- it is all here. Lectures Website Dr. J. Paul Robinson, Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, has put a compilation of lec-ture slides on a website. Some of the information is bullet statements, but the pictures are great. If you've never seen a flow cytometer, you'll see lots of them here. If you are new to flow, you'll find in-troductory slides here. Practical Flow Cytometry, Fourth Edition by Howard Shapiro, published by J. Wiley & Sons, 2003. Website Dr. Shapiro has kindly put his textbook online through Molecular Probes. It is free! Yes, you do need to register to see it, but that's all you need to do, and you have access forever. Flow Cytometry E-mail Discussion Group Website Have a question? Novices to experts, all levels of questions are welcome. This e-mail group has been invaluable to me. E-mails are archived and can be searched by topic. International Society for Analytical Cytology Website The premier society for flow cytometry, it publishes Cytometry Parts A and B (Clinical Cytometry), Case Studies in Clinical Flow Cytometry, and Current Protocols in Cytometry. These are available on-line, but you must be subscribed for access. Regular dues are US $126; fees are deeply dis-counted for students, post-doctoral fellows, and scientists from developing nations. Please consider joining. National Flow Cytometry Resource, Los Alamos National Laboratories Website Where the cutting edge happens. NFCR runs a course every June that alternates between Los Ala-mos and New England. I recommend it to the serious flow person; you will learn a tremendous amount, including how to build your own flow cytometer, if you are so inclined. FlowCyte Website This discussion group is dedicated to flow users interested in developing uniform bioinformatics standards. They are also developing analysis and statistics software for flow users.

What do you thing about this article? Anna Politkovskaya and the Self-Defense of Democracy By Jon Hellevig The writer is a Finnish lawyer who has lived in Moscow for 15 years. He has written the book Expressions and Interpretations (www.hellevig.ru) discussing Russia's social development from the viewpoint of philosophy and judicial philosophy. He is also the author of several books on the Russian tax and labor law. The murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya has once again induced a surge of anti-Russianism in Finland. Politicians, so-called researchers and media declare that Russian leaders masterminded the murder. Many people cautiously avoid these direct expressions, while being highly critical of the Russian government. Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja falls somewhere between the two groups, whereas Markku Kivinen from the University of Helsinki affiliated Aleksanteri Institute and MP Heidi Hautala clearly belong to the latter. It is obviously not in the interests of the Russian President to have a well known journalist killed (pointing this out would not be necessary, but for the continuous smear campaign against Russia). Based on information I received from Jukka Mallinen (translator of Politkovskaya's "Putin's Russia" into Finnish), there were no Russian government officials behind the murder. On the other hand, there is reason to put forward an alternative motive, which is quite possible -- that the murder was orchestrated by those wishing to create the kind of public opinion climate to compliment an anti-Russian agenda. In our culture, we usually honor the memory of the deceased by saying positive things about the departed in times of sorrow. One would like to show the same respect for Politkovskaya as well. But I cannot keep quiet when I see how her memory has been turned into a weapon to hit the Russian people in a manner that hinders Russia's development. Some are not happy with the opportunities that have been created during Putin's presidency.This includes the chance for many to now actively participate in a democratically run market economy. Upon the Soviet breakup, criminal elements took advantage of the weakness of a young nascent democracy by grabbing and stealing enormous possessions. Putin, courageously challenged the Mafia and oligarchs (often separated through a fine line drawn on water). Thirsty for "revenge", some of the non-Russian former Soviet states egg on the EU to engage Russia in a confrontational manner They overlook that Russia and the Russian people were the biggest victims of communism. Led by Yeltsin, the Russian people freed themselves from that burden and encouraged this spirit to other former prisoner-countries. Due to Russia's large land mass encompassing troubled regions, Russia unwillingly gets drawn into dirty games. This predicament gets twisted into the claim of a revanchist Russia bullying small, defenseless others. Given the uncritical fanfare accorded to Politkovskaya's work as a journalist, there is reason to critically review it. A case in point is her book "Putin's Russia", (published in 2004) which has been translated into several languages. In this book, she emotionally focuses on peoples' life situations (a style used in Karl Marx's Das Kapital, where he childishly tries to prove his theories of capital through the stories of people's everyday lives). Politkovskaya begins and ends her book with a stated disgust of Putin (as per the English translation of the book, see the Introduction as well as pages 281 and 282). She states her dislike of Putin "because he was a product of the Russian security service" (as if George Bush Sr.'s politics should be condemned on the grounds that he headed the CIA; a prevalent talking point in some circles). According to Politkovskaya, the KGB influenced Putin "does nothing but destroy civil liberties as he has all through his career". No mention is made of Putin's support for the late democratic mayor of St. Petersburg, Anatoly Sobchak. At the end, Politkovskaya states she is disgusted with Putin because there is a war in Chechnya (as if he started it). She adds that in her view, he is a cold, cynical, racist, who is prone to lying (among other references in her book, see pages 281-82). Politkovskaya does not like the fact that this evil (in her view) man goes to Easter church services (pages 279 and 280). Politkovskaya attacks Putin for being a "racist" and then like a racist claims that Silvio Berlusconi as a European has better powers of thinking than Russia's Putin (page 279). Politkovskaya's likening of Putin with Stalin (page 272) shows that neither the journalist nor her prize givers and back patters have any sense of proportion. But one should remember that the purpose of this investigative journalist was to tell us about her feelings on why she abhors another person. Politkovskaya displayed no perception that all phenomena in society are based on social practices and that only a positive historical process can promote the wellbeing of society. She does not understand that the basis of a working society was totally destroyed in the Soviet Union and that it was not until 1990 that the building of a democracy, market economy and society at large was started from the ruins of the bankrupt Soviet estate. Through glimpses of peoples' life experiences, she brings up some of Russia's problems, such as the undeveloped democracy, criminality, corruption, the poor condition of the army, low pensions and the state of the judicial system. In her state of disgust, Politkovskaya did not analyze what has been done about these matters during Putin's presidency. Nor does she consider the impact of decisions taken under him. Instead, she writes of human tragedies like the suicide of an alcoholic and about a former friend of hers; a busy businesswoman who went into politics to grab more riches, etc. She tries to convince the reader that Putin is to be blamed for a tragic suicide and a woman politician's ruthlessness (who succeeded remarkably well). Politkovskaya's idea was that from day one of his presidency, Putin alone had to make sure that all in Russia was right. Much like if President Tarja Halonen was responsible for the unemployment in Kainuu and drunks at Hakaniemi Market Square. In one of her brief accounts, Politkovskaya mentions an 80 year old man, who had been found frozen to a floor in Irkutsk, Siberia (page 194). The journalist says the emergency services refused to come to the rescue claiming "the man was so old he could obviously not be all right". According to Politkovskaya - Putin should have stopped this. She seemingly suggests that it was brave of her to have said as much. Politkovskaya writes of an impoverished former navy captain Aleksey Dikinin (page 198). His fate is attributed to Putin (with Politkovskaya having the guts to say so). She does not even think of referencing Soviet Communism as the main culprit Mind you, her chronicling of Dikinin was in the first year of Putin's presidency (2000). Since then, there has been an enormous increase in pensions. I have personally experienced this in the Russian hinterland. At the beginning of this year, I visited a friend of mine in the native village of Azikeevo, situated in the Ural Mountains region of Bashkortostan. A road connection to Azikeevo was opened about ten years ago, at approximately the same time that gas and heating systems were installed. A couple of years ago, phone connections were completed to every cottage. Without any prompting, my friend's 70 year old uncle repeatedly lauded how good living conditions had become. In a healthy spirit, this senior citizen regularly takes care of horses, cows and chickens. Some retired teachers in that village (a married couple) said that pensions were now so good that they could support their children's families (there is a photo report of this trip at www.hellevig.ru). Politkovskaya was far from expert on government, military and legal matters. Topics which Putin has frequently discussed in an openly candid way. Politkovskaya's writing on terrorist dramas sugarcoated the actions of terrorists. Through their deeds, terrorists try to hurt the society they hit. By killing innocent people, they create public discussion designed to fault the leaders of the target country (reference how terrorists sparked a change in government in Spain). This is incomprehensible logic for a sound person to comment on. In "Putin's Russia", Politkovskaya blames Putin for government corruption in Ekaterinburg. There is no acknowledgement on her part that this political environment was evident BEFORE Putin became president. Putin proposed to correct this by having the political center play a more active role with the outlying regions. Instead of lauding this action (a popular one with most Russians), Politkovksaya wrongly concluded it to be anti-democratic. A stance overlooking how the political center was more democratic than the most "independent" of Russian regions. The regional governors operated under the cloak of democracy. They were chosen through "democratic" elections, as in the Soviet Union (in another connection, Politkovskaya remembered how people were elected in the Soviet Union, page 271). A colorful bunch of criminals and adventurers appointed themselves as governors under the shelter of formal electing and voting procedures. This view is acknowledged by the European Commissioner for Human Rights (see: Alvaro Gil-Robles, Report on Visits to the Russian Federation, 2004). In these conditions, anyone wanting to be governor had himself elected by using threats, bribes, blackmail and bodily harm. Putin's proposal to strip the regional governors of their mandates made a positive impression. Democracy is now practiced in much more civilized circumstances, based on a democratic competition between the regional parliament and the president. To have the courage to rise against a powerful elite and to succeed is an unbelievably big achievement. In the West, this reality is not fully appreciated, let alone understood. Instead, Politkovskaya's blinded disgust with Putin is uncritically accepted as the gospel. Politkovskaya characterizes Putin as seeking "revenge" against the oligarchs. Her characterization of the Mikhail Khordorkovsky owned and operated YUKOS is flawed (pages 275, 276, 284 and 285). She erroneously claims that this business entity "operated in daylight" and "gave five percent of its profits to charity". YUKOS flagrantly violated tax laws and other legislation through (among other things) criminal tax paradise companies (I reference a Sitra Report: Suuri Maa Pitka Kvartaali, Big Country Long Quartile, 2005). Furthermore, Politkovskaya claims that Khodorkovsky got into trouble with Putin because he supported "the liberal opposition". She omits the fact that Khodorkovsky supported the Communist Party. The romantic side of her activity would be lost if this point was made. She did not state the ulterior motive behind Khodorkovsky's political activism. The "democratic" parties sold him top positions in electoral candidate lists to enable him to place his own trusted candidates. This was how he planned to carry through a takeover of the Russian Duma. But is this the kind of democracy desired by Politkovskaya, Tuomioja and Hautala? In Finland, this advocacy would be considered treason. A number of anti-Putin analysts admit that former YUKOS CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky had committed crimes, while rhetorically asking "but why Khodorkovsky, just Khodorkovsky"? The answer is clear: others were quicker to realize that their criminal activities in Russia were over. A society cannot be built on revenge. Putin offered an invitation for all to move forward. Russia loses if there is a large scale injustice. This does not mean that democracy has no right to self-defense. This is Putin's Russia, and mine.

This is not a movie about Bush vs. Kerry or Republicans vs. Democrats. Its about our current voting system and exposing a multitude of problems with that system as demonstrated in the 2004 election. We are told "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" and this documentary exposes the corruption, mistruths, and shameful negligence and mishandling of these "VOTES" in a way that cannot be denied nor ignored - unless you don't watch it for yourself. 73 out of 78 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful TerBo 40% Similar To You TerBo's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is a must-see documentary, especially for those still doubtful about whether elections in this country can be tampered with. The answer is yes, yes, yes!!! Kudos to Bev Harris who has dedicated years to exposing the corruption surrounding electronic voting. Get this. After Hacking Democracy's premiere on HBO, Harris received death threats. That's how risky and powerful her work is. 67 out of 77 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Shiftdnb 47% Similar To You Shiftdnb's other reviews > 4.0 Stars This is an amazing documentary showing that there are problems with the way we vote in America. When a normal everyday citizen gets up and challenges the system, you see how the system fights back. This woman doesn't give up like most of us would and shows us and one election official in Florida that the way our voting system was run and still is, has errors. 29 out of 36 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Professional Bum 63% Similar To You Professional ...'s other reviews > 5.0 Stars If you are an American & have the ability to vote, please do yourself a favor and put this in your queue immediately(especially since this is an election year). This wonderful documentary proves my point that we have the best democracy that money can buy, along with our judicial system. This film is more frightening than any horror film I've seen, because THIS IS REAL! And this is movie biased? Not at all. It's an absolute eye opener that shows that your vote really doesn't count; and make sure you watch the deleted scenes(another 33 minutes of fantastic footage). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Member Reviews hawk5391 58% Similar To You hawk5391's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Even though I also watched the original slasher classic Black Christmas, this was the scariest movie I saw over the Christmas break. Although the filmmakers obviously have every reason to sensationalize potential problems with electronic voting systems ("good news is no news," right?), the implications here are frightening. Not only did Bev Harris (founder of a non-partisan watchdog group) find voting machine code unprotected on the internet, she was able to successfully hack it and prove that results could be manipulated (you can watch this being done in a matter of seconds in this film). The lack of oversight of the companies who control the majority of electronic voting is astounding, almost as bad as the sloppy manner in which our government oversees the elections themselves. 10 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

The production value isn't good, but its worth sitting through to find out just how easy it would be for just one person with an agenda to manipulate the outcome of an election. 9 out of 12 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful LR 572736 43% Similar To You LR 572736's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Politics in America is scarey enough, but when you see what is going on with our elections system, you will just go through the roof. We have hoped through the last few centuries that a government of the people, by the people and for the people would not parish from the face of the earth, and that America would be its shining example. After viewing this flick, you will realize just how tarnished our example has become. We have realized in the past decades, that money rules, and it just feels like our votes don't count, only the money that backs our politicians. Only the corporations and special interests have access to the politicians these days, not the people that vote. This picture goes a long way to explaining how that happens. After realizing the truths in this documentary, I feel even more helpless and useless to change a corrupt government by my vote. Did my vote get counted? How would I even know? The facts put forth in this program are just about incredible, but you come away realizing their powerful credibility. I wondered why their hasn't been criminal prosecution of the election fraud that is running rampant in our country today? Where are prosecuters? Why aren't elections officials who ignore our right to have our votes counted, recounter and certified being placed on trial for crimes against the electorate? You owe it to yourself and your country to see this documentary long before the next election. Don't miss this one! 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

This is the story of the creation of the group and webpage BlackBoxVoting.com Having found the Diebold's source code, a code that not even the President of the United States can see, Bev Harris takes the code to an expert. What is revealed causes Harris to criss cross America, to prove the fact that Diebold had literally hijacked democracy. Although it's possible, it's difficult to believe that anyone can think that the 2004 Presidential Election wasn't rigged after viewing this film. A 'must see' for every American. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Ben5765 35% Similar To You Ben5765's other reviews > 4.0 Stars This film is all about voting machines and how votes are tabulated. It makes mincemeat of the Diebold Corporation, manufacturer of a large percentage of the electronic voting machines used in the United States. It reveals Diebold officials making lie after lie about the security of their machines. The makers of the film meticulously document how, using Diebold's machines and data cards, someone with just a basic understanding of the technology involved (including, certainly, any Diebold employee) could rig the vote count, on one machine or on thousands of them, with absolutely no record that the rigging was ever done. The film also reveals how Diebold's chief executive officer was (and maybe still is) a large contributor to the Republican Party. He once wrote a letter stating that he would "deliver" Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election for George W. Bush. The film later shows how his company managed to persuade Cuyahoga County, Ohio (where Cleveland is) to buy its machines. Maybe there is nothing fishy going on there, but appearances matter! Lest the film be seen as partisan, it features, among others, a Republican office-seeker from Louisiana who, after losing her race, went to view a demonstration of the machines that the voters used. As part of the demonstration she pressed the button next to her name, and the machine registered a vote for her opponent. Hmmm. She was understandably troubled. Moreover, the film points out that in many parts of the country it is in fact the local Republican Party that is wary of electronic voting machines, not the Democrats. Hacking Democracy also reveals problems with punch card voting systems--problems that dwarf the famous "hanging chad" problem of the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida. The film's message is distressing, but it is one all American citizens should hear and see. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

It is because their kind of ignorance that this movie is a 5 star and a must for every single human being to watch and learn. There is no excuse for any voting system to be too technical, too complex, too secret that we cannot prove what the votes were years from when the votes were taken. Not even 50 years, not even 100 years, not even 1000 years, not ever. For anyone to suggest that the electronic voting system is not possible to understand and to do a documentary for by a handful of heroic citizens, it is an insult to this country and democracy. Let these be the commandments of election: 1) No voting methods should be more complicated than what pen/pencil can do on a ballot. 2) Vote handling in any election process should be transparent to the public no matter when, why, how, what, who. 3) Only 100% accuracy should be accepted. Anything less then 100% should be recounted no matter how many times, how long it takes, and how much it cost to be 100% accurate. 4) Without 100% accuracy, election cannot be concluded. Another election should be conducted immediately without further delay. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Despite "Global Warming" Hurricanes are getting weaker and fewer in number. Why? "Tropical cyclone (TC) activity worldwide has completely and utterly collapsed during the past 2 to 3 years with TC energy levels sinking to levels not seen since the late 1970s." http://www.coaps.fsu.edu/~maue/tropical/ In 2005 we were told by the "experts" that Hurricane Katrina was a product of "Global Warming", that we should expect a greater number and greater strength of hurricanes in the future. The climate models backed up the claims of the scientists, and these statements were widely reported as facts about man's effects on the climate. Now the long term study is out that did study the number and strength of tropical storms and the facts are that both the number and intensity have decreased over the years since Katrina. How did these climate models miss something as easy as this, and how were the top "Global Warming Experts" fooled by the data? If something as simple as the number and strength of the storms are wrong, than can we accept that there is more data that is wrong that we don't know about yet? Should the data from "Global Warming" institutes be reviewed to separate what is opinion, emotion, political from true objective science?

Permanent Hair color remover - Hair experts please help!!? I originally have jet black hair, but I have dyed it twice within 6 months to a dark auburn brown. Since my hair was dark my hairdresser had to permanently dye it. Even though I do like the auburn hair, I want my black hair back. I read about stripping and bleaching and these do it yourself remedies, but I'm scared and I don't want my hair to get damaged. By the way I'm African American, so a problem that I do have is that my hair gets relaxed, and I know that most of these color remover products warn against using if you have relaxed or permed hair. Another problem that I do have is that I can't consult the hairdresser who dyed my hair because she's in Rochester (where I went to school) and I'm back in New York City. But, there has to be something out there that can restore my hair to its shiny blackness. I read reviews on all these different at home products, but they make me weary because I know if I do it, I'll ruin my hair. So if anybody knows of anything, please let me know!

For all you people who think shampoos are different? Shampoo Full Story Best Shampoos We saw several recommendations for one particular salon brand; Kerastase is a high-profile salon line (owned by L'Oreal) that banks its reputation on use by professional hair stylists and salon owners. As a result, it's pricey, but reviewers say that most of the shampoos have gentle, effective formulas that live up to the marketing claims. Two of the sources we found say that Kerastase Bain Satin Nutritive 1 Shampoo (*Est. $32 for 8 ounces) works well for normal-to-slightly-dry hair. It gently cleanses and nourishes the hair with glucose, protein and lipids. However, in the test reports we read, much less expensive shampoos like Clairol Herbal Essences (*Est. $4 for 12 ounces) and Dove (*Est. $4 for 12 ounces) are just as effective. Some consumers may prefer the smell, feel or cache of salon formulas -- issues that are tangential to cleaning ability. Paula Begoun, in her comprehensive book "Don't Go Shopping For Hair-Care Products Without Me," evaluates over 130 brands of hair-care products, with in-depth analysis of ingredients. She notes that many brands, including the top-selling Redken and Dove brands, have nearly identical formulas across their shampoo product lines, except for some differences in fragrance and plant extracts (which do nothing for hair, but may irritate the scalp). Begoun and other reviewers agree that an anti-residue shampoo, like Neutrogena Anti-Residue (*Est. $6 for 6 ounces) , should be used at least once a week to remove buildup, especially if you use a volumizing shampoo or styling aids like gels, waxes and mousses; these products coat each hair with a film to get the desired effect of fullness, curls, waves or spikes. Sponsored Links Free Shampoo Hair Shampoos Shampoo SamplesRedken shampoos (*Est. $10 for 10 ounces) receive the most reviews of any brand in our report. This is a salon shampoo, but it is much cheaper than Kerastase. Redken offers shampoos in eleven formulas for almost every hair type -- moisturizing, volumizing, anti-dandruff and specialty formulas like clarifying and combating UV damage. The one Redken shampoo that gets the most raves is Redken All Soft, which is formulated for very dry and brittle hair. At Allure magazine, All Soft wins the Best of Beauty Award for dry hair. Consumers at iVilllage.com and Epinions rave about this shampoo. At iVillage.com, almost 30 owners give it an overall rating of 4.5 stars out of five. Most critics say that this shampoo leaves their dry hair soft; one even complained that her hair was too soft. There are those who also say the shampoo has a wonderful smell and it detangles hair better than other products they have used. While a few comment that the shampoo is expensive, they also said it was worth the price because you don't need as much to clean your hair. The owners at Epinions give All Soft a perfect score with 23 users writing comments similar to those at iVillage.com. But users here are decidedly mixed about the smell. Some love the scent, others don't, but no one gives All Soft a poor rating because of it. Reviewers pick Dove (*Est. $4 for 12 ounces) most often among lower-priced drugstore shampoos. Originally known for its bar soap, Dove has branched out into all areas of the beauty market. Dove offers several shampoo formulas for light and dark colored hair, moisturizing, volumizing and intense therapy. In tests at Choice magazine, Dove Revitalising Shampoo is a top choice, but this particular shampoo is not available in the U.S. The formula that gets the most reviews at Epinions and Amazon.com, Intense Moisturizing Shampoo, is no longer available. But all the various Dove shampoos that do get reviews are rated highly. Many feel that these shampoos clean well, and people like the smell. Reviewers also like Clairol Herbal Essences (*Est. $4 for 12 ounces) as a lower-priced drugstore shampoo. It comes in a variety of formulas, including moisturizing, clarifying/residue removal, replenishing for dry/damaged hair, volumizing and anti-dandruff. Contributors posting to Epinions say that they're generally pleased with the moisturizing and clarifying formulas, but that the volumizing and replenishing formulas don't work as well as they had expected. Experts say the anti-dandruff formula contains salicylic acid to exfoliate the scalp, but the pH of the shampoo is too high for it to be very effective for those struggling with dandruff. Experts say Neutrogena Anti-Residue shampoo (*Est. $6 for 6 ounces) is a simple shampoo that won't cause buildup and is good for all hair types. This formula has stood the test of time since 1980. Experts recommend using an anti-residue shampoo once a week, especially if you regularly use a thickening shampoo, which deposits a film on each hair to make it appear thicker. Unless these film-forming agents are periodically removed, they build up and cause hair to look flat and feel heavy. Head & Shoulders (*Est. $5 for 14 ounces) is among
