Review title: Cheap (made anyway) Product review: I just purchased one of these, placed brand new batteries into it (yes they were inserted correctly) and started my smoker up. I went back to look a few minutes later and the unit was no longer on. I press the taste button and it turns back on.. but for only like 5 minutes then it tuns itself off again. The instruction manual (the part in English anyway) does not mention an auto off feature or a way to keep the unit from turning itself off. This makes the unit worthless if you want it to alarm at a given temp like it is supposed to do. Defiantly skip this product and spend the extra $10.00 for something that works.
Ans: decrease

Review title: start cringing Product review: before i say the unpositive things i am about to say about this album, let me say that i really like most of bjork's music. she has been tickling my ears with the most unusual yet listenable pop since her first albums with the sugarcubes, and while i have come to expect something different from each subsequent effort, i could always count on being seduced each time. which is why i was so disappointed with "medulla". i know. she's being an artist. she's pushing the envelope. she's broadening my tastes. no, she was just trying my patience. track after track of waiting for the song to get good, but having to skip forward out of shear aural irritation. i'm sure there are people for whom this album will be just the sort of thing they've been longing for, but for me it will probably be the last bjork album i buy without listening first.

Review title: A great resource for begining and experienced meditators. Product review: This is an important and much-needed book--an expert, articulate, and engaging work on Taoist meditation, written by a western master. I've found that very few transplanted oriental Taoist masters have a proper understanding of the average westerner's mind-set, which, of course, is vital to teaching meditation. The book is simple and straightforward, yet conveys an amazing amount of useful information on how to set-up and maintain a productive meditation practice in the venerable Taoist tradition. (The instruction on post-meditation massage is worth the price alone.) Very highly recommended.

Review title: TRASH, I MEAN THE WRESTLER Product review: If you live in a trailer, if you have two first names, if all your siblings have different fathers, then this movie is for you.Mickey Rourkes puffy, plastic filled face is a tragedy. So is his greasy, blond hair extensions. His acting is overrated. So is this movie.Sorry about the Oscar Mick, maybe next time.
