Lateralus
The epic scope of Tool’s excellent third album, Lateralus, could well spell a whole new era for metal. To many casual rock fans, frontman Maynard James Keenan is probably better known as the vocalist in the more MTV-friendly A Perfect Circle but it’s indisputably Keenan’s main group–art-metal pioneers Tool–that have reshaped the rock landscape most radically. Operating somewhere beyond the parameters of their closest peers Metallica and Jane’s Addiction, Tool is the sound of metal at its most sprawling, complex, ambitious and progressive. But while the group’s third album–the long-awaited Lateralus–deals with subjects as obtuse at the return of Saturn’s orbit and Keenan’s fascination with the occult works of Aleister Crowley, this is not simply the sound of pompous prog-rock given a Millennial makeover. Why? Mainly because Tool never let the concept swallow the sheer, gigantic scope of this music–from the brooding, dark instrumental passages and explosive rhythmic tension of the eight-minute opener “The Grudge” to the precise, angular mathematic construction of “Schism”. It’s true, Lateralus might be a bit much for the pogo-friendly Blink 182 fan in your life but if there’s any justice in the world, this fantastic work will do for metal what Radiohead’s OK Computer did for indie-rock. The boundaries have fallen and Tool have new horizons in sight. –Louis Pattison
Customer Review: Another amazing Tool release
When I bought Lateralus i had incredibly high expectations for I owned all the other Tool albums and loved every single one of them. Unlike 10,000 days, Undertow and Aenima Lateralus didn’t grab me instantly and i had to listen to it once or twice before i really got into it. Lateralus is a very progressive and complex album so you can expect plenty of time signiature changes and lengthy songs. My favourite songs off the album are the epic Lateralus itself, the combine Parabol-Parabola song(s) and then probably the Grudge but every song on the album is at least very good if not amazing. I would definatley recommend this album to anyone who is capable of appreciating it. 9/10
Customer Review: Awesome
This ablum is quite possibly the greatest album ever written, in fact no scratch that it is the best. This album has to be listened to from start to finish as all of the songs blend together into what can only be described as a masterpiece. If you play the drums (like me) or you play the bass it will really stand out to you how individually telented each of the mebers of this band are

MicroMat Techtool Pro 4 Universal (Mac/Leopard)
Customer Review: doesn’t do much - and takes a long time about it!
back in the old macOS 9 days, micromat made a couple of good disc utilities. since the advent of OSX hower, they’ve really lost the ball and techtool pro is a classic example. first off, let’s get one thing clear; this “disc repair” utility doesn’t actually “repair” anything much. think i’m kidding? - well i’m not. techtool pro will spend hours [literally!] scanning your disc and e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y present you with a report telling you what’s wrong but it doesn’t actually fix anything beyond the odd missing ‘custom icon’ or incorrect bundle bit.

if your mac’s really playing up [crashing frequently, files disappearing etc], the chances are your disc’s got directory damage - and techtool pro can’t help you there. you’ll need to use something like discwarrior by alsoft [also available on amazon] to repair the disc. so what exactly does techtool pro offer that the free [bundled with the system] disc utility doesn’t? well apart from being able to impotently tell you your disc needs repaired [at about a tenth of the speed of disc utility] not a hell of a lot. oh yes, there are a whole bank of tests lined up in it’s revolting 70’s sci-fi styled interface, but do you really need to waste good money on a utility to tell you such things as whether your internet connection is working, whether your sound port is working, how fast your processor is and whether your RAM works or not?

techtool pro does also offer a ‘disc optimising’ routine which defragments your hard drive. anyone who used to curse the norton utilities defragging routine under classic, when it used to take an hour or so to optimise a 20GB or so drive will be pining for those days once they set techtool pro’s ’slug-on-mogadon’ optimising routine going. i’ve left it overnight on occasion and crawled bleary-eyed from my pit in the morning to find it still barely halfway done. this is one seriously s-l-o-w piece of software [in all of its functions]. there can be few more dispiriting sights than gazing forlornly upon techtool pro’s apparently stationary progress bar when it’s about a third full and watching the text below which says “step 345254 of 6312950″ slowly incrementing at the rate of about one every second.

this is a terrible piece of software [if you don't trust my opinion, check out the reviews on versiontracker or macupdate] - avoid it like the plague!

Customer Review: BUY IT NOW!!
This is something you should buy now, rather than when you have a problem!

Together with Disk Warrior, Tech Tool Pro offers a complete solution to pretty much any problem you will have, barring a electronic fault (it can even warn you if a hard drive is failing & where.

Excellent software - that works even better if you have it installed on a separate emergency boot up drive (you would be advised to do this if you want disk optimisation)

These days you can get a fast Hard drive pretty cheap & then install OS X + Tech Tool Pro & Disk Warrior and have the best emergency disk you could ask for, and not break the bank.

With unpredictable spring snowstorms, growing cilantro starters can be risky. One unexpected frost can wipe out a month’s growth of delicate, new sprouts. Likewise, autumn weather often turns harsh before busy gardeners have finished harvesting. Rumford Gardener gives green thumbs respite from Mother Nature’s precarious weather, and extends the growing season with its lightweight, portable greenhouse.

The sturdy, tubular, steel frame assembles quickly with interlocking pieces. A protective, powder-coated finish helps resist weather-related damage. The clear PVC cover wraps around the greenhouse to insulate plants, while providing plenty of light exposure. The cover’s front panel unzips from both sides–so gardeners can roll up the front panel on warmer days and seal it at night. Four, wire grid shelves support trays of seeds, starts, and potted plants. Each shelf measures 27 by 18 inches, and holds plants up to 13 inches tall. A top shelf supports plants up to 19 inches high.

The greenhouse’s lightweight structure makes transport easy. During early spring and late fall, gardeners may opt to carry it outside for daylight hours–allowing plants the benefits of sun and fresh air–and return it indoors at night to avoid frost damage. In windy climates, it’s best to weigh the greenhouse down to keep it from toppling over. Putting the greenhouse together is simple with included instructions. No additional tools are required. Assembled, the greenhouse measures 63 by 27 by 18 inches. Unassembled, it measures 13-1/2 by 3 by 16 inches and weighs 12-1/5 pounds. Rumford Gardener covers this product with a lifetime warranty. –Jessica Reuling

Customer Review: Very convenient
Frankly, I did not expect so good a product for the price. I used plastic ties to secure wire shelves to pipes and placed an old dishpan on bottom shelf. Blew over and broke one zipper so I used 4 tent stakes to secure it in ground. The plastic covering is very clear and permits ample sunlight to reach plants and heat dishpan water. I’ve added a thermometer and add a 1/2 gallon of boiling water to dishpan when nighttime temperature is projected to be below 30.
Customer Review: nice little greenhouse
Very lightweight but very versatile. can be pot together in a variety of ways for added versatility. Added a few wooden dowels to improve the stability and it is just perfect!

Customer Review: A book for the experienced and beginner alike.
I have a few years experience of doing traditional upholstery. I found this book gave me a fresh insight into upholstery as a very personal art form. The writer really knows how to enthuse the reader with the creative spirit. This book is not some dry and dusty manual on how to do it. This book treats upholstery as a fine art, and encourages experimentation, whilst warning against those things she has found do not work artistically. A good book for the creative artist wanting to express their feeling in some original upholstery. This book is going to make a big difference in my home!
Customer Review: A book that will last for years
This is the first time I have bought a book specifically about upholstery. I was delighted to have a list of relevant books to choose from and selected this one of the basis of disappointing or no reviews for other books in this section, that it was English (UK) rather than English (US) and… the cover looked lurverly, though they do say.. don’t judge a book by …..”. However, this book has not disappointed. I’d say this was a book for the beginner, but it contains enough inspiration to last through the years as you progress through and tackle the series of more and more advanced projects (10 in all, from drop-in seat to Chesterfield). The book begins with a potted history of upholstery, illustrated with examples of furniture in art from the 17C and goes on to describe tools, equipment, materials - all well described. The lovely illustrations and text with which the various stages of upholstery are described are excellent and even I, a complete beginner, found the early stages in the process very familiar and recognisable. The advanced stages are every bit as easy to understand and there are useful lists of suppliers of fabric and tools, and a glossary of terms.Described as a “Practical Guide to Upholstering Traditional Furniture”, it is comprehensive and will serve as a good clear reference, as it’s well written in digestable sections. If I have a critisism it is that, the notes accompanying some the photographs drew my attention away from the text from time to time - but still, that probably says more about me than the book !

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Insomniac Games has overhauled its proprietary PS3 engine technology to create the most visceral Ratchet & Clank universe yet, overflowing with exotic creatures and flying vehicles.

The PS3 system’s superior power enables Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction to bring vivid worlds to life with increased draw distances, enhanced lighting and shadowing, and more fluid and exaggerated animations.

Discover an all-new galaxy spanning vast worlds such as a majestic cloud city and a space-age amusement park.

Encounter an entirely new cast of expressive characters (and some old favorites) as well as the introduction of a variety of new alien races and life forms.

Experience a more emotive Ratchet with nearly as many animation joints in his face as PS2 Ratchet had in his entire body. This joint density applies to many of the characters featured in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, enabling more detailed, personable and expressive characters.

Clank returns as a playable character, and Ratchet will have new enhanced abilities.

Fire a fully stocked arsenal of all-new weapons such as the Plasma Beasts and Tornado Launcher, which uses the Sixaxis controller to direct tornadoes that suck up enemies and whip them around with debris.

Use the Sixaxis controller to maneuver, destroy enemies and solve puzzles.

Upgrade and customize weapons with a new system that provides greater power and flexibility. Players also will have the ability to upgrade Ratchet’s armor.

Utilise Ratchet’s new supply of consumable “on-demand’ combat devices, such as the Groovitron, which causes enemies to dance uncontrollably to ’70s disco hits.

Gadgets gameplay returns as Ratchet and Clank will have more gadgets at their disposal to help them bounce, fly, evade and defy gravity.

Pilot Ratchet’s ship through asteroid fields while trying to destroy enemy fleets in a complete redesign of classic Ratchet & Clank space combat gameplay.

Customer Review: More Clunk than Clank!
I got my latest Ratchet and Clank game for xmas along with my PS3 I was so excited I could hardly wait to play it, but oh what a disappointment it was, within 3 days I`d finished it and I`m now playing it for the forth time hoping Ive missed some major part of the game but alas it seems not! Yes the graphics are fantastic and I do have a 1080p HD tv so that allows the game to play smoothly and keeps up well with the graphics but there seems to be little substance or difficulty involved in playing the game, oh well I look forward to the next installment if there is one!

Customer Review: It doesn’t work
What the reviews here neglect to mention, is that the game was shipped with a major bug. On many machines it fails to load claiming ‘there is insufficient disk space on your machine’. This error is spurious. The manufacturer is aware and advises to either add or delete a block of 500MB for your PS3 Hard disk and it should work. The problem is it doesn’t and the UK hotline for Insomniac hasn’t been answered on the 3 occassions I have rang.

Bottom line is if you want a game which may not work on your PS3 then go ahead. Be aware though, if (as I did) you buy this as a present for your kids, you may face disspointment.

Customer Review: A readable introduction to the way money goes into buildings
As an architect, reading about money in property is sometimes depressing. However the staighforward nature of this book and the paced strucure meant that it provided an excelent introduction to the driving factors in property development. It covers topics such as valuation, values over time, taxation, project costs, cashflow techneques for development feasability studies. The topics sound dry but are important for everyone involved in the construction and property industies.

Salival (CD + NTSC Video)
The elaborately packaged Salival is a reminder of how creative and powerful the hard rock group Tool can be. One disc of this deluxe two-disc set serves up 74 minutes (eight songs) of live material and outtakes; the other offers a VHS compilation of Tool’s four grotesquely artistic videos plus the bonus clip, “Hush”, from their 1992 “Opiate” EP. Although there’s little that’s new here, it’s put together with as much intensity and attention to detail as the quartet’s other releases. The musical high point is the driving but delicate take on “Pushit”. It’s also entertaining to hear singer Maynard James Keenan in a Neil Young kind of mood on “Lame”. –Janiss Garza

Customer Review: quick, but it before its too late…
Having shelled out on this on import i was always going to be biased towards this album, but im ecstatic so say that it didn’t disappoint me in the slightest. As usual Maynards gorgeous vocals add to the powerful music. Every song it a treat, with the possible exception of “LAMC” (but that the point of the song!). clearly yht best thing on the CD is “No Quarter” and the amazing version of “Pushit”. The videos are so artfully and amazingly well done they stand up to repeated viewings, with the standout “Stinkfist” being the most obvious. As this band have progressed they have gone to strength to strength, with this closing one chapter of Tool’s career, it was the perfect prelude to the majest that was “Lateralus”. You have to buy it. Now!!

Customer Review: A stopgap, but still the best thing in ages.
I’ll admit it. I’m an absolute Tool *fantatic*. I first heard them in New Zealand (where you can actually - shock, horror - hear them on the radio!), and saw them live out there in 1997. In my book Aenima is a good contender for best album of the 90s, and Undertow and Opiate are impressive too. As for Salival? Well, you KNOW you’re being suckered into buying a load of stuff you’ve heard before, but I really didn’t care. The live version of Pushit is fantastic, and it’s nice to hear You Lied in a decently recorded form at last (bootlegs having been available for years). The clear high-point in my book is No Quarter though - somehow they managed to sound enough like Led Zeppelin for the song to sound authentic, while still maintaining their own identity. Well done! Admittedly, Salival isn’t an album I’m going to be playing front-to-back for the next five years (like I have with Aenima), but it’s a great album to dip into. And the video content is always good, if you don’t mind the fact that they’re a little “inspired” by the Brothers Quay. The one thing that bugs me about this album, really, is the fact that the release delay is absolutely typical of the UK. What is it with this county? If people aren’t out there buying disturbingly bad CDs like Hear’Say or Robbie Williams then they’re being “alternative” and buying Limp Bizkit! The more transparent the marketing ploy, the more desperate people in the UK seem to be to buy something?!? I’m confused. Ah well. Buy this CD, and take some small consolation that you can still get music like this over here. It won’t last.

(And a note for any drummers who might happen to read this: Just get the album. Danny Carey is one of the most underrated players in rock today)

10,000 Days
With a majority of the songs on 10,000 Days clocking in well past the seven-minute mark, you wouldn’t be entirely mistaken in thinking that the title of the album refers to how long it actually takes to make it through the whole thing. Two of the tracks–the sitar and tabla enhanced “10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)” and its suitably epic psych-rock sister “Rosetta Stoned”–even linger on for nearly a dozen leisurely minutes each. That’s delightful news for the legion of Tool fans that have been waiting five years for the follow-up to 2001’s Lateralus, which debuted at number one and sold 2.3 million copies in the United States. Singer Maynard James Keenan is back on mystical form after his hiatus with the politically slanted A Perfect Circle, sounding at once ethereal and eloquent as he calmly charges through the metal tempest of the opening track “Vicarious.” The rest of the band, meanwhile, hits a series of high-flying moments with tracks such as “Jambi” and “The Pot.” When Tool sounds as good as it does on these songs it’s hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like “Lost Keys” and “Vigniti Tres.” Who has time for filler? –Aidin Vaziri

Customer Review: tool take the toll
How unremarkable

In here Tool sound like a copy of themselves

There are echoes of their previous offerings all over the place

Repetitive at times and falls short by any Tool standarts

See you in six years lads

Cheers

Customer Review: Tool - 10 000 Days
Stating from the outset that I’m a Tool fan: Saw them in 2002 in Canberra and they we’re bloody amazing. It was loud, (undeniably so - even the young kids in the audience were stuffing tissues in their ears - me, an older and wiser monkey came prepared with the industrial ear-plugs I take with me to every gig these days). There was an arrogance to the band which appealed to me, they didn’t play to the punters, they played their wonderful music and left me feeling a buzz I hadn’t felt from a live gig for years.

That was the Lateralus tour and that album was my favourite until 10 000 days.

Opening tracks seem to be Tool’s strong point (The Grudge on Lateralus was brilliant); Vicarious is another step up. An incredible opener. You just finish Vicarious and are hanging open-mouthed when Jambi pummels the ears and brain. Good stuff keeps coming with the extended Wings for Marie/10 000 Days - a brooding and emotional piece which charts the 27 years from the initial stroke and paralysis to death of Maynard’s mother. The Pot’s another bunker-blaster. Other very listenable tracks include the penultimate Right in two. Unfortunately the CD ends with the anti-climactic Viginti-tres. Tool do have a (annoying to me) habit of adding filler tracks - nothing much happens for five minutes. A pity as it takes off a point. However, the whole package outweighs this minor whinge for me. An amazing CD and for me Tool’s best.

Customer Review: PCTools & 64-bit
I have to agree with the previous reviewer regarding PCTools sneaky way of automatically deducting the money from your account each year. I got caught out by this and I did not even sign up for automatic renewal. They do, however, cancel the auto subscription and refund your money if you ask them to. Also be aware that althougth the product states it works on Windows Vista, it only provides basic support on Vista. Oh, and do not buy if you have a 64-bit OS; this company seems to be very reluctant and slow about making their products 64-bit compatible. I would choose a different product if I were you.
Customer Review: Beware of this company.
Beware of this company. If you download and install their software, once you pay you have to register and manually prevent them from automatically debiting your account at each renewal (yes, that means they don’t need your permission to take your money)

Handily it’s pocket size. It is a rather thick little book but one has to expect that for it’s wealth of information. In A-Z fromat it can give you blow by blow instructions on everthing from changing the taps on your bath tub to retiling the house.

Lateralus
Customer Review: Astounding.
Reading some of the “if you can appreciate it” “if you can understand this”, “I would’nt recommend this to start off on Tool, you should try aenima” ..etc etc has prompted me to do so.

There is no ideal place to start with Tool, just start.

This album is heavy, if you don’t like heavy rock/metal you probably won’t like this. If you have an inclination to listen to this type of music then I cannot recommend this album highly enough. The music is amazing, nothing technically difficult in the guitar/ bass playing lots of polyrhytmic drumming, which is excellent. The album is a rollercoaster ride, musically and lyrically. Soft sudddenly becoming heavy. Maynard is a great singer and his lyrics are mind blowing, if a little cryptic. Perfect if you like philosophy. The lyrics are not in the liner (go to the band website for these)…which is all Alex Grey paintings, again if you like spirituality and philosophy.

Musically and Lyrically this album is one which will encourage you to think. Should you choose to do so. You could just as easily “headbang” to it. As for coming to a conclusion on what it all means….well thats entirely up to you. The Individual.

This album is stunning…try it (Listen to it a few times and you won’t be able to stop). Then go see them live. I doubt you’ll be let down.

Customer Review: All the essentials
This is a very nice kit to start off with. The included screwdrivers and ratchet kit cover the common sizes found inside a PC, although bizarrely they’ve included more Torx bits than anything else. Picking up extra bits for the driver should be a piece of cake, though. The magnetic attachment for the ratchet is a godsend, frankly. The pliers and tweezers make light work of those fiddly motherboard headers and the wire trimmers may well come in handy. By far the best thing in the kit is the odd little three-prong grippy widget, which proves itself to be much better than pliers or tweezers at fishing small objects out of odd places. My only real problems with the pack are the IC remover (beginners shouldn’t need one an experts know they shouldn’t use them) and the torch. I was hoping for a cheap-and-cheerful LED flashlight but instead there’s a translucent purple incandescent torch which looks like it came from a christmas cracker. I’ve got an LED light handy anyway, but a little bit of consideration would’ve rounded out the kit nicely.

Vicarious [DVD]
Customer Review: Worth Owning
The music on this dvd is great, another wondering, and joyfully heavy tune from Tool. Shamefully, the CGI video does NOT stand up to the quality of the music. While earlier videos appear to of been created over a long period, taking every part of the songs ups and downs into account,

this new video seems by comparison, a total mis-mash.

Even the people who are on the commentary do not appear to know whats going on in the video. Meanwhile the creators of the older Tool videos appear, but seem apathetic about the new video. Where as the CG guys seem overly joyous.

You cant help but think the whole thing would of looked better if created ANY other way but on a computer.

Buy it at low expense, enjoy the music, and rue the video.

Customer Review: New Tool video event
Yes, every Tool video is an event, because all of them are extraordinary. This time it’s all in CGI and contains all the familiar Tool elements. Nothing new then? Maybe, but remember - this is a Tool video, therefore it’s a million times better than any other videos floating around today. Song is vitriolic and heavy, here presented in extended version (I guess intro and outro done with some help from Lustmord?), video is dreamlike, psychedelic and weird, commentary is hilarious, documentary is LONG and insightful. Every Tool fan should own this.
