This review is from: Mead Spiral Notebook, 1-Subject, 70-Count, College Ruled, Dark Blue (05512) (Office Product)

Notebook arrived quickly, but is very flimsy. Was hoping for a bit sturdier front and back covers. Difficult to write in notebook without setting on hard surface.

Paper is 10.5" x 8", not the standard 11" x 9" that matches up with printer paper. Undesirable if you need to insert loose sheets of printer paper into your notebook.

This spiral notebook is pretty stock, except that the pages aren't perforated, making them a pain to remove. I didn't know you could buy spirals like this, and the description doesn't mention it. What a shame.

This review is from: Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales (DVD)

I bought this movie for my 4 yr old son's birthday. I specifically checked the run time of 90? minutes. Sunday he was watching it for the first time and before I got dinner ready it was over. I was like "Why did you turn it off?" Everyone said it's over. Do you really think my kids gonna be entertained by 1 hour of "out takes?" Um..No. Mater is funny don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't have bought it had I known the actual movie time is 38 minutes. :( HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!

Everything in one package, October 13, 2010

SRFireside "ZOOM!" (Houston, TX United States) -

This review is from: Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales (Two Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray)

For those of you who do not have the Disney Channel, Mater's Tall Tales are five minute CGI animated shorts based on characters from Pixar's Cars. They are about the tow truck, Mater, regaling his friends on his numerous (and outrageously unrealistic) adventures such as meeting a UFO, being a world famous bullfighter, professional wrestler or daredevil, and other crazy situations. These shorts always fall back on the same joke where Lightning McQueen challenges Mater's tale as being true and Mater replying with, "Don't you remember? You was there too", which ends with McQueen being in the thick of the tall tale.

The animation quality is on par with the movie. Plus you get appearances of other Cars characters like Sally, Red, Mia and Tia and more. They even get just about all of the original actors to do the voiceovers with the notable exception of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen (replaced by veteran voice talent Keith Ferguson). All in all a fun little cartoon to fill time between shows on Disney.

This Blu-Ray collects all of the shorts ever released and a couple that haven't come out yet. This totals nine cartoons, so it's not exactly a large amount of content at about 40 minutes. You do, however, get about 50 minutes of additional features to whet your whistle. Here's a list of the bonus stuff:

Paths to Pixar - Similar featurette to the ones on other Pixar collections this has interviews with Pixar artists, editors and such and gives insights on their experiences and other career details.

Studio Stories: McQueen Has No Hands - The challenges of manipulating a map when your character doesn't have any hands.

Mater: Bumper to Bumper - Goes into detail about the creation of Mater and how he is animated.

Making of Mater's Tall Tales - Self Explanatory. Documentary on creating the Mater shorts from conception to finished product.

Unmade Tales - Some of the ideas that didn't make it to production. Each one has an intro by Director Rob Gibbs and are pitched by the story artist. Tales include Runway Mater, Stunt Mater, Backwards to the Forwards, Car-nival and Import Mater.

Cars Toons Story Reels - Mater the Greater, Unidentified Flying Mater and Mater Private Investigator all shown in their conformed storyreels shown against the final audio track. You also have a picture in picture option to see both the reel and the finished product.

Cars Land Sneak Peek - Just as it says you get to see the upcoming Disney California Adventure attraction Cars Land. Mainly behind the scenes stuff.

If you love the movie Cars and/or the Mater shorts then of course this is the disk for you. Makes me wonder if they will re-release the Toy Story Treats that were done in 1996 somewhere on a Blu-Ray collection. Just keep in mind you are paying for about 90 minutes of content including all of the bonus features. It's a short disk.

Comment on How To purchase A Telescope by Lisa "Lisa"

Fantastic scope at a great price, September 4, 2010

Lisa "Lisa" (Atlanta) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Celestron 21063 AstroMaster 90 AZ Refractor Telescope (Electronics)

I am very impressed with this telescope. I had a Meade reflector that cost twice as much. It didn't work well for me since there are so many trees around where I live. It was computer-driven. This is sort of like having a point and shoot camera as opposed to a complicated SLR.

The scope was incredibly easy to set up right out of the box. The 90mm is longer than I was expecting but still easy to carry and not heavy. I love the deep blue color. The only complaint I would have is that the accessories tray doesn't fold up with the tripod part, you have to remove it. That is the only drawback I've found thus far.

I was able to line up Jupiter easily and see it better than I have before. Could see 4 moons and the bands on it clearly. I haven't been able to see Saturn yet, but should be able to see its rings with the magnification it has with just the lenses that came with it. Can't wait to try out my barlow lens with it.

It has great power for such a low price. I still can't believe it was only $200. It is an incredible telescope. I would highly recommend it for beginners or advanced users.

Great Starter Refractor Telescope, October 31, 2010

Archimedes -

This review is from: Celestron 21063 AstroMaster 90 AZ Refractor Telescope (Electronics)

The Celestron Astromaster 90Az Refractor telescope is a great little starter scope. Well I shouldn't really say "little" as it is about 3ft long or so. The Altazimuth tripod is perfect for beginners as you just use it like a normal camera tripod. I prefer this much more than an equatorial mount for quick viewing. If you are new to amateur astronomy you should do some research try to learn what to expect when buying a telescope so you can know what to expect view with it. This is a great telescope for viewing the moon and other planetary viewing, it also serves well for terrestrial viewing. But if you are expecting to view brilliant images like the ones Hubble takes then you probably will be disappointed.

I also have a 4.5 reflector telescope but I can honestly say I prefer this Celestron over the the 4.5 inch one. This refractor gives a much clearer image of objects like Jupiter and its moons than my 4.5 inch. I live in a very light polluted city and I can still see Jupiter and it's moons very clearly, I can just image what they would look like out in the country skies. The Moon looks spectacular. I suggest buying a 2X Barlow lens with this (or any) telescope.

If you are wanting to observe other things like deep sky objects (Nebulas, Galaxies...) I suggest you save your money and buy yourself large aperture dobsonian. Also try to keep in mind that what matters in a telescope isn't really the "zoom" factor as many telescopes try to advertise, but the amount of light it can gather. But if you want something portable and quick to set up and are interested mostly in viewing planets and the Moon, then for the price I highly recommend this scope.

3 Subject Notebook, January 30, 2011

This review is from: Mead Spiral Notebook, 3-Subject, 120-Count, College Ruled, Green (05748) (Office Product)

I love this notebook. THe reason its great is because the 3 subject really helps out if your always late like me lol. I just leave this in my car and whenever i am running late i can usually just grab this and it would have all my 3 classes notes in one book. I also like the fact that it has the yellow page in between the subjects so its easy to flip back and forth between different subjects when you need to. The only down side to this notebook is that the meal spiral rings are a little big and a hassle but overall its a good product and will buy again.
