Great pillows, but don't believe the reviews saying these feel like down. They most certainly don't! They are very fluffy and don't get too hot. Overall I like them.

two pillows, squishy!nice but, wish they were a little fuller! good deal for the money!

I must have a different idea of firm... but a pillow that allows my head to sink right through to the bottom doesn't qualify as firm. They are fantastically soft and fluffy though :) I throw a thin hard pillow underneath and I'm good to go :)

This pillow is exactly what I have been searching for for over a year. I am a side sleeper and it has exactly the right support and softness for me. My husband is a back sleeper and he likes it too. Since using this pillow, I wake up with out any soreness in my shoulder or neck. When I opened them out of the box they fluffed up quickly and there was no strange odor. The gel in the center feels hard when I squish it around with the palm of my hand but when I lay on it I can't feel it at all. I'm so confident that these are the right pillows that I finally threw out some really old, disgusting ones that needed to go a long time ago.

These are very comfortable and a great value. I ordered 2 more because I was so impressed. I like them better than down-- no shifting or poking feathers. They are soft, but supportive. I'm a side sleeper, and I use two.

I ordered these batteries with great anticipation to continue my dog training. Upon arrival, BOTH BATTERIES WERE DEAD! Went onto amazon to look for a place to return these dead things, and low and behold, you can't return batteries. So, now I am out the money. What a joke.

Replacement is cheap here, put it on for 15 minutes, leave the bark collar off all week. Purpose fulfilled.

These batteries only last about a week or two depending on if you use them alot or alittle. The package info says they will only last two weeks. I wish I would have known that before I purchased them. I will try another retailer to see if I get longer life.

Amazon shows the wrong battery for the Bark collar we ordered and now we are stuck with the wrong Battery due to their mistake. I am one unhappy customer who has been ordering from Amazon for years and use their Credit card all the time. Now that will end and so will my feelings for Amazon as the women who handled my call were rude and did not seem to care. Amazon fix your discription for the Innotek Bark Collar as the 3 pack you show is the wrong battery. It takes a 6Volt but in a Alkalinenot a Lithium 6volt. Signed a very upset old Amazon customer Nancy E. Vogee

Batteries came from PetSafe Quickly and as described. I bought these for future use so I can not comment on their performance. David

We were looking for a travel bed to take on vacations for our 2-year-old. This is perfect! The bed is roomy enough to last for years without taking up too much space. It inflates quickly and deflates easily. And the included fitted cover is so cute and very soft. It did have a plastic smell when it came out of the package, but I just inflated it and left it out up against a wall for a couple of days and it fixed that problem. I highly recommend this product!

This product is very easy to set up and take down. My two year old daughter loves the mattress. I would recommend this bed for any one looking to travel or transfer out of the crib

My toddler loves this bed. It is small, easy to travel with and super easy to use. We have used it several times and my son sleeps just as well on this bed as he does at home.

This is a great bed. Easy to inflate, comfortable. I just ordered another for my younger child. A must-have for anyone who travels with children!

bought them for my 3 1/2 yr old grand children for Christmas and they absolutely love them. Shipment arrived promptly. They are easy to inflate and deflate. My son takes them with them everywhere they go. The only drawback is if you are in the same room with the kids, the beds make noise if the kids toss and turn a lot.

I love this video. I bought it for my youngest grandson. His 2 older brothers had it when they were potty training, and they loved it so much, they spent hours watching it. The video got lost, so I just bought it again. It is a very fun video, and definitely keeps their attention. Highly recommended!!

This is a simple and fun video that kids can relate to. It's geared a little younger, for kids just starting to potty train, so I wish I had introduced it to my son sooner. Might have saved myself some headaches. Definitely recommend, even for the most headstrong little boys like mine.

As soon as we got this dvd, my toddler wanted to see it. The potty song was very catchy and it held his interest for the entire time it was on. But, that was it. He may have been too young for it. He understands the concept of sitting on the potty but at 17 months, he's not quiet ready. Maybe we'll try it again when he's closer to 2.

My son is just starting potty training. He really loves this video. I bought the same one, for girls, for my daughter.

We purchased the For Her and it worked great for our daughter. Potty For Him didn't work for our son. I know it was his personality and not the product.

Thank you for making this so easy. Price was great, shipping was fast, and merchandise in great shape. Keep up the good work!

Great sound track. As best I remember, had most if not all of the songs and music from the movie.

This soundtrack has been running in our home for the past 5 1/2 years as we travel around the world from the moment I met my girlfriend to the moment she became my wife to now. It is the soundtrack of our life together. You can't find a more romantic soundtrack to drink to and romanticize to. Lila Down's voice is amazingly powerful, melancholic and fierce. She can change her voice from a low tune to an extremely high tune without any effort whatsoever. She is a legend for sure. One of the greatest singers of all time. The composer of the songs (Elliot) could not have composed a more beautiful collection of instrumental songs. If I could play these songs on the guitar, my wife would immediately take me in her arms, the songs are so sentimental. The sound of the guitar is so intruiging, it moves your soul to a level where nothing else in the world matters, but people enjoying the time together. The final song is almost impossible to describe. Burn It Blue deserved the Oscar in 2003 a million times more than the other songs in that category. This song can't be beaten. Caetano Veloso and Lila Down's voices are simply perfect together and rip your heart out of your soul when your loved one is away. It is a terribly sentimental song - so beautiful it will stay with you for the rest of your life, as will the rest of the CD. It deserved more than five stars.

This soundtrack is amazing! Salma Hayek's performance is brilliant! Elliot Goldenthal composed such beautiful melodies!

A wonderful CD soundtrack filled with beautiful, festive south of the border selections from the movie Frida. Now it can be a cinco de mayo celebration at my house any day!

Please note that I saw this movie on TV so I can't comment on the quality of the video transfer. Van Gogh's troubled life is dramatically brought to the screen in one of Douglas's greatest roles. Douglas and Quinn are superb in this movie as the two ill-fated artist friends, and also James Donald is great as van Gogh's devoted brother. The movie follows van Gogh from his departure from divinity school and his ministerial work with the miners to his ultimate suicide. Van Gogh is shown as a man who is passionate about everything in his life--his religion, his art, and his women--often to the point of being out of control. But that's why van Gogh's story is still well known today, because he lived life on the edge in otherwise conservative, dreary, repressive Victorian society. We're supposed to feel sorry for and empathize with the tragic van Gogh, but he doesn't always make a very sympathetic character. Gauguin praises van Gogh's paintings when no one else would, but in return van Gogh criticizes Gauguin's, setting the stage for another of their blow-ups. And when the woman he loves rejects him he refuses to accept it and tries to force his attentions on her. Unfortunately, the two friends are direct opposites, so their friendship is doomed from the start. Gauguin can be arrogant and abrasive even with his friends, and so van Gogh as a friend and roommate isn't exactly the best choice of a buddy, but they are thrown together by circumstances and by their rejection of the uninspired French Academy art of the day. Van Gogh is depicted as a man who gets rejected and kicked around by just about everyone and everything in his life, with a few exceptions. Pere Tanguy and Dr. Gachet were two of his admirers who were supportive, and of course his brother, who offered encouragement and supported him financially throughout his troubled life. And he is helped initially by his relative Mauve, an artist himself, who gives him materials to work with and some advice on how to proceed. The contrast between the successful and prosperous-looking Mauve's studio and van Gogh's poverty couldn't be more striking. Mention is made several times in the movie about how van Gogh and Gauguin started late and so the odds are against them just because of that. Interestingly, van Gogh, who had no formal art training, ended up developing a style that has more in common with the expressionism of forty years later than the Impressionists of his own time, with whom he is usually lumped. The movie does a fine job of showing many of van Gogh's paintings. I'm assuming museum-quality reproductions were obtained for the filming, but I don't know for sure. I notice that one of the professional reviews says Minelli used an obsolete color process for the movie. I'd like to know more about that and how it affected the color. Overall, a fine movie based on the Irving Stone novel. I'd also like to know what Stone thought of the movie, but I suspect he was pleased with how it turned out.

Kirk and Anthony Quinn are excellent! Some think Quinn stole the film. Well worth the viewing. Also a good art lesson for teens in the family. Buy new or used.

This movie is the 4th movie about a 20th century great artist that I have seen. In all of them there was some claim for their insanity: Picasso, Pollack, Klee, and van Gogh. The film makers and biographers have no mercy on the dead. Three of these were relatively successful while they were alive and the last wasn't. What is clear in all these cases is that these artists were not restricted by convention in the way they painted or saw the world. The best most believable part of this movie was the love of van Gogh's brother for him, the paintings showed and his efforts to try to find a place in the world. I've read in a news article that the pathology of van Gogh's brain disorder caused his strange and wonderful use of color... This movie was probably good for the selling price of the canvas in investors hands, but I really think that van Gogh deserved more while he was alive.

If one is a fan of the arts, and or Van Gogh, this is a must CD. I believe that Kirk Douglas does a great portrayal of the tormented artist. The store line is fairly accurate, a rarity in film. I would highly recommend this movie.

I stumbled on this movie and really like it. I think it's clever, sends a message. Basically I agree with everything everyone here says but one thing I did notice...if he is so in love with her (after all this really is a love story) why don't they show you the couple kissing? The scene where they made love was 'off'. It didn't seem like they were in love; no tender touchings or expressions. The one thing that bothered me about this movie; as if is was ok to go THIS far but not far enough to show physical tenderness. One other commenter noticed the same thing. Otherwise, good movie.

When I saw this film for a film class years ago, it was called "Romauld et Juliette" and it had subtitles. It was then released here under this title, which hardly gives the impression of a lovely, moving, surprising film that starts with implications of white-collar crime but ends up with a joyful meshing of relationships. At least the "American remake" never happened--and I hope it never does. This film is perfect as it is.

This is one of my favourite films. I laughed, I cried -- you get the point. A touching romantic comedy that keeps you at each moment and twist. The ending is abit predictable and inevitable, but it's very much good fun getting there!

A funny film! I really love the leads in this film. Daniel Auteuil is great, as always! He's got a great body of work and this comedy doesn't taint but adds to the shine of his film career!Even though the film is a comedy, there is a lot to say about the social issues embedded in the story. Class, race, crime and gender relations all play an important part in the film. This film should not be remade in any language. It should stay intact the way it is and seen by everyone!

In Finland this was named: "Mama, there's a white man in your bed!" as one of Juliette's children says in the movie. A nice twist that makes you wonder, what the movie is about. I saw this on TV and was later very happy to find the video about these unexpected lovers, Romuald and Juliette. Romuald is a real yuppie, a director of Blanlait-company that makes yoghurt and is aiming to conquer new international markets. Juliette is an African cleaning-woman in the same company - and when she moves around unseen by 'important people' and empties the waste baskets, she stumbles on the office plots, which escape the director entirely, as he is being busy and powerful. And then one day everything seems to go wrong and Romuald works late to find out, what really happened...Juliette comes in and suddenly asks, why he doesn't contact one of his employees. "Because he's in Lyon", Romuald answers politely but arrogantly. "People aren't always where you think they are", Juliette says. She asks him to call the man at his home in Paris and dictate to the answering machine: "I know everything, it has all come out" and in less than 15 minutes the man would come. And he should also call home, because her wife isn't there. And she leaves - and finally he calls. Juliette was right...So starts this coalition: Romuald asks Juliette about everything, about his own secretary, money laundering, poisoning at the factory and so on - and lives in the run down apartement of Juliette and her children - all with different fathers. He hides from problems and acts like a polite but selfish hotel guest. Until he leaves to take back his place in the Blanlait company and his family. And realizes, he's in love with Juliette - who in turn has had enough of him. Romuald must win her over. Daniel Auteuil (Romuald) is really charming in this movie, his haircut is by the way very becoming. He doesn't look this good in most of his movies. And Firmine Richard is delightful - as are the children. I've seen this over and over again, it is a really nice movie, it believes in people and goodness though shows people as flawed as they are - cheating wives and husbands, selfish children and plotting business men. If you're down and you can't think of a sure pick-me-up, this is it.

US Trade sells HD DVDs which do not play on any regular DVD player. I did not know that. When the disks arrived, I tried to play them, but they did not work. A notice inside the cover of the disk case said "It is possible that this HD DVD disc was manufactured after your DVD disc player. To insure the best possible viewing experience, your HD DVD disc player may need a firmware or software update. Please consult your hardware manufacturer's website for the laterst firmware or software version, and if an upgrade is available, we suggest that you follow its installation instructions." "Best possible viewing experience?" In other words, to play this disk I will have to buy a new disc player. Of course no one would spend that kind of money to play a single disk. So, I tried to return the discs to USTrade. Their message back to me said, "If you did not intend to order an HD format version of these titles and you placed this order by error, we will be glad to take these back from you for a Store Credit if these items are still in the condition we shipped them. If these have been opened and no longer saleable as new, we will accept them for the current used price of the item on Amazon. In either case please understand that the shipping and handling fees are not refundable." If you read this closely, you will see that there is no way that USTRADE will refund your money. You are out the money your paid, the shipping cost and the shipping costs back, and all you get is a "Store Credit" which means that you have to continue to do business with US Trade. I have done business with Amazon for years. I have always been treated well and had nothing to complain about. I and never been treated badly as I have with US Trade. I highly reoommend that anyone wanting to buy DVDs from Amazon avoid anything sold by US Trade. If they really want to do busines with this company, they are welcome to use my useless Store Credit.

BLU-RAY VERSION IS WORTH BUYING. I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE MOVIE, OTHERS ALREADY HAVE. BUT, NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE TELL YOU IF IT IS WORTH UPGRADING FROM YOUR REGULAR DVD TO BLU-RAY. THIS ONE IS WORTH IT. COLORS ARE STUNNING AND SOUNDS GREAT.

I remember seeing this movie when it was first released. Of course something is lost viewing it on the small screen, but the wit and charm of the script still holds up. The cinematography is WONDERFUL, though, as I stated before, best seen on the big screen.

It is rare that a film can be artistically beautiful, romantic, and at the same time be laugh out loud funny! It is one of my all time favorite movies. I will warn that there is a nude scene but it is not in a sexual context. So parents, if you don't wish your children to see as Archie Bunker once said 'full nudal frontity' :)don't watch this movie with kids. That being said, the dialogue is brilliant, the acting superb, and Lucy and George are two lovers you will champion from the beginning.

There are plenty of reviews about the story, and it is a somewhat sweet love story. But it's also very shallow. I have not read the book, so maybe that gives a bit more insight into the characters and plot, but just as the movie is concerned, I was left wanting more. If you like deep characters, then you might be disappointed here. Also, a quick warning about content. Three men go bathing in a forest pond, all very innocent, but much nudity is shown.

I hate the smell of the classic moth balls, so I got this; very good for the price, and so far it kept the moths away (I had it for about 4 months now) - My mother in law came to live with us, and brought all her clothes from her house, where she used to have a moth problem.

I have used this for storing Christmas and other clothing for a long time and I really love it. The herbal smell is SOOOO much better than the old nasty moth balls! The seller was fantastic and sent it to me pronto!! Easy transaction!

I used these satchels in bags of alpaca fiber after my animals were sheared. I had to store the fiber for several years before I sent it off to the mill and one of my worst fears was moths getting into the fiber. These satchels were a god send! I didn't want to use moth balls because they are notorious for leaving a noxious smell. This product smells wonderful and after 2 years of storage my fiber is moth free and I just got my yarn back from the mill! Mission accomplished.

I put these in with some knitting yarn to ward off the moths and wound up with moth farm! Moths were in sachets and ate their way out and into the yarn nearest sachets leaving herbs and ruined yarn. Effective for a year?? Hah! Was less than a year when I found out that moths had destroyed my yarn! Cedar blocks and space bags are the way to go if you are trying to protect your garments! I'd give this item zero or negative stars if I could!

Why would anyone opt for smelly camphor when they can have their sweaters scented with a light, refreshing herbal sachet. Not sure as yet about their effectiveness against moths (and by the way, moths don't eat sweaters -- it's the eggs they lay that do the damage) but I do like the herbal scent. I've put these in all my drawers not only with the wools and cashmeres.
