Great!
This product is great for kids! I’m 13 and i got this for christmas because i love cooking. You have to wear the glove because I was stupid enough not to wear it and I cut myself. I was bleeding for 2 days. But, I think this product is nice for kids who love to cook like me.
Great set!
My comments for this knife set are the same as for the Young Cooks Cutting Set (with the red knives and glove). I bought them both so that my son learns about food safety and keeping raw meats separate from vegetables and other ingredients. My eight-year-old loves to help in the kitchen and wants to do it all – especially cutting and chopping. The knife in this set is the right size for his hand and sharp enough to get the job done. The glove is a great idea, and helps me relax a bit as I supervise him. The glove takes _forever_ to dry after washing, which is why I did not rate this five stars. Overall, though, this is a great set to bridge the gap between little kids “helping” in the kitchen and big kids actually cooking.
Kinfe a hit with grandchildren!
Our 5 and 7-year-old grandchildren were very excited to get the Rachel Ray knife, and have used it several times already helping to fix dinner and learning to cook. It makes them feel grown up, and their parents like the built-in safety feature of the protective glove!

I wish she had more CDs out there
Margaret Douroux…..What a fantastic lady! She has written such gems as “Like a Tree”, and “Give me a clean heart”. The title song of this CD “Already Done”, also written by Ms. Douroux is brilliant. Ms. Douroux has such a wonderful way with melody lines and gorgeous harmonies, another person who has that gift of writing brilliant gospel songs is Richard Smallwood. Their songs really move the soul,and awaken the spirit.
I really wish she had more CDs out, but it seems she writes more than she sings. I highly recommend this CD, and if you are a choir director, buy the accompanying songbook, it’s really worth the investment!
I highly recommend t

Unique!
Our 5 year old son loves Wubzy and this was the only place I could find him a blanket. Since receiving it from Santa – he has not let it go. Thanks so much for your timely delivery and perfect condition.
Really great
First off lets get past the fact that my kid would love a bag of broken glass with Wubbzy pictured on it. This is a good quality well made blanket that is both soft and warm. We lay under it when I give her her milk at bed time and I have to admit that even on the couch under a window this blanket really took the chill off my arm, and kept her toasty.
this is a christmas present for my daughter
My daughter loves “Wow Wow.” That’s what she calls him, “Wow Wow.” I got this blanket for her for Christmas. I have a feeling it will be one that she carries around everywhere because it is so snuggily and soft.

“If I were gonna haunt somebody, this would certainly be the house I’d do it in.”
Say what you want about producer/director William Castle (The Tingler, 13 Ghosts, Mr. Sardonicus) but one thing was for sure…he knew how to fill seats in a movie theater, primarily by forcing some sort of direct interaction between the audience and the film (at least in his horror themed features). In House on Haunted Hill (1959), he utilized a technique he called `Emergo’, which essentially featured a skeleton, suspended from wires, coming from the screen towards the audience during a specific part of the movie, the intent being to scare the pants off those in the theater. From what I’ve heard, it didn’t sound like many were frightened, but it didn’t really matter as Castle was a master at selling the sizzle, rather than the steak, as they say, and audiences flocked to his films…produced and directed by William Castle, the film features the merchant of menace himself Vincent Price (The Fly, The Tingler, House of Usher) in the first of two films he made with Castle. Also appearing is Elisha Cook Jr. (Shane, The Haunted Palace), Carolyn Craig (Giant), Richard Long (Ma and Pa Kettle), Carol `homina homina’ Ohmart (Spider Baby), Alan Marshal (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), and Julie Mitchum (Edge of Hell), sister of actor Robert Mitchum.
Price plays Frederick Loren, an eccentric millionaire who, along with his wife Annabelle (Ohmart), has thrown together an interesting little party involving five, seemingly random strangers gathering at a haunted house with ten thousand dollars to each who dare stay through the night. In attendance, along with Frederick and his wife, is Watson Pritchard (Cook), whose brother, one of the previous owners, was murdered within the house, Lance Schroeder (Long), a test pilot, Dr. David Trent (Marshal), a psychiatrist, Nora Manning (Craig), a typist, and Ruth Bridgers (Mitchum), a newspaper columnist. Seems all have agreed to play Frederick’s little game for one reason, they need the dough, and if some crazy rich dude is willing to part with his green for such a seemingly easy task, what the hay, right? Well, the guests arrive, introductions are made, and Frederick gives them the full lowdown. The secluded house is like a fortress (steel doors and bars on the windows) in that once they’re locked in (at midnight, to be precise), there’s no getting out until the caretakers arrive the next morning. Also, there’s no electricity or telephones, and the nearest neighbors are well beyond yelling distance. After a tour of the house, highlighting where various grisly events occurred (including a visit to the acid vat in the cellar…man, this place has everything), a few drinks, and some scares (the ghosts seem to have a thing for Nora), Fredrick passes out some party favors in the form of loaded handguns (nothing like being drunk and armed), not that they’d do anyone much good if there are ghosts out and about…anyway, midnight is coming so if anyone wants to cut out of this ghoulish get together, they’d better get while the getting’s good…
While not my favorite Castle feature (that goes to The Tingler), House on Haunted Hill is still a hoot and a half for all of its campy, good-natured fun. The one thing this film has going for it, above and beyond everything else, is Vincent Price. No matter how rotten the feature was (which wasn’t the case here), Price always brought with him a real sense of class and sophistication to the proceedings, especially true of the number of Poe based films he and Roger Corman made throughout the 1960s for American International Pictures. The absolute best parts of this movie for me occur early on as Price’s character is interacting with his wife, and we see the pair have an interesting hate/hate relationship…here’s an example of their often snide and insinuating banter they engage in behind closed doors…
Fredrick: Of all my wives you’re least agreeable…
Annabelle: But still alive.
Here’s another bit…
Frederick: Do you remember the fun we had when you poisoned me?
Annabelle: Something you ate, the doctor said.
Frederick: Yes, arsenic on the rocks…
There are a few more excellent exchanges between Price and Ohmart, worthy alone of seeing this film. As for the rest of the performers, I had no real complaints. Elisha Cook Jr.’s character did get on my nerves after awhile, with his constant dour outlook punctuated by his persistent `doom and gloom’ predictions. Drink some more booze, you rummy…seriously, all this guy did was talk about how the ghosts were going to come and take them all away. Perhaps this attitude was assisted by his excessive alcohol intake, but really, what’s the point of accepting an invitation to spend a night at a house you believe you won’t come out of alive? The money? Won’t do you much good if’n you’re dead, fool. If I was in that house I probably would have shot him just to be rid of him. At least I learned one thing…never invite Elisha Cook Jr. to your party and ply him with lots of booze as he’ll turn into a real poison pill. I did like Ms. Ohmart, and not just because she was a smoking babe with a large rack, but because she held her own with Price, even if it was for just a handful of scenes. If you’ve got a hankering to see more of her, and you like ookie horror features, you should really check out another film she appeared in called Spider Baby (1968), featuring Lon Chaney Jr. There are a few, minor scares scattered throughout the film (a crusty crone, a disembodied head or two), but nothing that will make you soil yourself…some scenes will make you snicker, though, like the one where Pritchard chucks a dead rat into the acid vat, if only to demonstrate the acid is really acid. After some bubbling effects, a fully articulated rat skeleton bobs to the surface, indicating to those watching it truly is the real deal. Yes sir, that be some powerful acid…the movie may not be much for scares, but it does have plenty of atmosphere created by Castle’s direction, groovy, cobweb laden set pieces, spooky music, and usage of the Ennis Brown House in Los Angeles, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, for the exterior shots.
It seems this film has fallen into the public domain (i.e. the copyright expired), as I see there are a number of DVD releases by various companies. I can’t speak for those other releases, but the one I own, put out by Warner Brothers (it has a large headshot of Price in the lower right hand corner and Ohmart in a nightgown being menaced by a disfigured hand in the upper left), looks exceptionally good, and features both the fullscreen and widescreen formats, along with a excellent Dolby Digital mono audio track. The only extras included are a theatrical trailer for the film and subtitles in both English and French.

By the way, this movie saw a remake of the same titled, released in 1999, oozing with high tech special effects. It was decent enough, but I still liked the original better.
Old Price Classic is that pure fun!
William Castle at his gimmicky best! A Classic, spooky Black and White, with deliciously devilish Vincent Price as millionaire with a bored gold-digger wife. She wants a Halloween party with her friends, Price tosses a party all right, but not with the people of her choosing. He offers $10,000 dollars to five stranger if they will join him and his wife in spending Halloween night in a truly haunted house. One of the 5 is a young Elisha Cooke, family of the former owners who died in the house, and he leads them on a murder tour. To jazz things up, Price passes out “party favors” – guns. And it’s a race to find out whether Price of his wife will be the last one standing. This movie is a grandfather of nearly every clichés, blooding dripping from the ceiling, dark mysterious corridors, a witchy woman floating around and vanishing – and the topper that organ music!! This is more like a Halloween Fun house ride than a movie! Price is campy and has great fun with the role, with super lines, especially when fussing with his less than happy wife.
Castle originally devised this movie with “special touches” for the audiences, like ghost on wires gloating through the audience of people in costume sitting down beside you to enhance the fun house feel.
Just plain fun and a wee trip down memory lane.
Scary, Campy, Old Horror Fun
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL is one of my favorite movies. It has everything. A haunted house, a dark and stormy night, ghosts, a bloodstain that won’t wash out, severed heads, an acid vat, organ music…It’s just so atmospheric. The plot: Millionaire Vincent Price and his scheming wife invite five strangers to the house on Haunted Hill. He’ll pay them 10,000 dollars each if they spend the night there. One of them dies, and a murder mystery also evolves. This movie from William Castle and Robb White is so much fun, and the set and acting is fantastic. If you love this, check out 13 GHOSTS, which I have also reviewed.

Good Product
I like the gum (as well as the rest of the Smart Mouth line). My only complaint is the gum does lose taste rather quickly.
Smart Mouth – Smart Choice!
Thank goodness for Smart Mouth. Takes the edge off of the bad breath syndrom after having eaten a mighty tasty lunch & being called into unexpected meetings at work.

Great Table
This art table is great! Highly Recommended! The table top is smooth and HUGE, I didn’t realize it was going to be as big as it is until I got it set up! The holders on the sides are nice, and hold things well. Very sturdy.
-Complaints:
Like a few others, I had some trouble putting it together. I thought I got it together fine, then realized I put it together backwards, so make sure you pay attention to the labels and directions. Having another person help and a nice tool kit helps speed things along.
Although the table is solid some of the holes didn’t match up. I couldn’t get one of the screws into the bottom of it, and another one for the cup holder didn’t go in, so no cup holder for me.
Like everyone else, my box came almost in peices! It was torn apart! Styrofoam and cardboard were all over the place. I couldn’t believe it! It had been opened up and beat bad, I was suprised all the peices were inside, but thankfully they were and the parts and table had no dents or scratches.
Over all I give the table itself 5 Stars, awesome.
I take a star away just for the trouble of getting it together, and the poor shipping quality. It was quick,(less than a week for reg ground shipping) but torn to bits.
bad packaging and a cheap top
The frame for this table is alright, but the top is not sturdy and the way it is shipped, it came with dented corners and buckled edges. the plastic trays are kind of silly, not very useful. It is a little awkward to put together, and the screw to put the brush holder on are the wrong type. Over all, a big disappointment. save the 30 bucks for shipping to get something locally.
Could use some more quality
1) Surface hinges are pretty flimsy. Lean on the top – bend
2) Assembly instructions were horrible. Not well detailed.
3) Should have checked sale price at A.C Moore.
4) Screw holes on surface to hold side utility trays aren’t accurate, I couldn’t fit one of the trays.
5) Metal utility ‘holders’ on the side are hard to reach. Too out of the way.
6) Horizontal support bars should be more substatnial – they make convenient foot rests and are somewhat flimsy
