1	Comments	Very informative and needful in the light of my recent upgrade. This was added to my collection of "Dummies" books to help me better understand my computer and its programming.	positive
1	La charanga hitting it again! the modernity in Cuba, really!	the most exciting new band in the last years in Cuba, amazing brass riffs, superb rithm, heavy vocal harmony, serious musicians making non serious music! If you understand spanish and cuban slang, you will shure enjoy what they say, if not, you'll be moving your body without notice!this is the real Timba Cubana! Bravo, Charanga! qué sabor!	positive
1	Can't Tell a CD from its Cover	Don't let the perfectly awful cover art throw you. This CD is well worth having. The music is truly special. This genre of Cuban music is for those thinking all salsa sounds basically the same, and wants more sophisticated composition.	positive
0	Dime que te quedaras	Mi nombre es Mardy soy peruana y sus canciones me encantan sobre todo la canción "DIME QUE TE QUEDARAS" ;estoy muy anciosa que vayan a Perú porque cuando ustedes han ido no me he perdido su concierto el que fue en el KINBARA ,fue un exito escucharles cantar y espero que regresen muy pronto a PERU.	negative
1	Decent budget knife	I'm not a connoisseur of knives by any means, and probably wouldn't have purchased this knife if it weren't included with another purchase I'd made.That said, I've found this to be a decent knife to just keep handy around the house for simple tasks like opening boxes, destroying annoying rigid plastic packaging, and cutting cables or strings. It's certainly not as sharp as the Kershaw Ken Onion knife which I regularly keep on my person, but also doesn't carry the price tag.It has a blade, folds, and the locking feature works - at this price, that's about what you can expect. If you're looking for a ridiculously high quality product... well, you get what you pay for.	positive
0	Works, but not as advertised	CONS: The product description says that it will remember the last track played. On my 4G memory this is important because if not then I would have to press the advance button through hundreds of songs to get to the one I want. The unit worked when I received it but did not remember the track! I was very disappointed and what's worse is I was on day 12 of a 7 day return policy!PROS: The price is good. The unit plays well. The sound is clear however on my truck sound system there was an underlying hiss present on all songs and on all stations. This hiss is not normally present on CD's played through the sound system. I did not notice this hiss present on my Lexus sound system. The overall fidelity was good but not great.I cannot use this because of the memory issue. I would not recommend this unit to anyone because of this.	negative
0	Not Good	This FM Trasmitter is not satisfactory. The volume is not of high quality and not loud enough. I already had the Port Authority 2 FM Transmitter. That is far better than this product.Remote is also useless.It might be useful if you play USB. Haven't tried that though.Very dissapointed.	negative
1	Extremely good product. I love it.	The player that i received first did not remember the last played track and did not play in alphabetical order, though it was playing well. I wrote a mail to the seller. He said "I dont like my customers to be unhappy" and offered to send a free replacement. He sent the replacement in 3 days time as promised. The replaced one plays extremely well in alphabetical order and remembers last track it played. Above all, the quality of the FM transmitter is excellent. It is very worth for the amount i paid.	positive
1	EH101	This is a great product as a demonstration model, however it is fragile if used as a toy.Thanks OverStockToyz	positive
0	not value for money	The measurement & weight given in the site doesnt match with actual. It is considerably less in size compared to what is mentioned and weight also lower. No great deal	negative
0	easily broken	The rotors top and back on this toy break very easily. Looks great, feels great, but doesn't really last with any normal playing. More to look at than to use to play with.	negative
1	outstanding	What a great CD this is.las canciones son muy buenas y todas tienen un estilo muy contento. Es conpletamente un placer escuchar este disco.	positive
0	Poor quality, plain and simple!	We've owned this faucet for four years now and have had multiple issues with this unit. First, the soap dispenser's material started to deteriorate inside the canister and clogged the dispenser. We tried to remedy the problem, but the material just kept flaking and shedding; mixing with the soap, so we were unable to keep it fixed. Second, the sprayers second setting stopped working and shoots water in every direction. Third, the plastic sheath under the sprayer broke and continually comes off.I've yet to contact PF about the problems, but plan to tomorrow. I hear they have pretty good customer service, so we shall see. I'll come back and report what I find.	negative
0	Poor quality - perhaps Price Pfister is having service issues	I am working on this review as a long term review and will be posting quality issues along with customer service responses to the failed sprayer head. Hopefully the company will vindicate themselves and respond to my warranty repair or at best replace the entire faulty unit.Stay tuned for the revised review and ....the rest of the story.	negative
0	Not worth the money	We've had this faucet for about 2 months and I can't wait to get a new one. The handle is too heavy so if you can only use it with the water coming out full blast. If you try to use it with it producing less water, gravity pulls the handle down and it shuts off. The pull out sprayer goes back in very akwardly. It does not go back in by itself, you have to work it back into the opening. And the soap dispenser is junk. It's only redeeming quality is that it looks good.	negative
0	looks good works bad	I'm looking because I have this faucet in a house about 7 years old. The soap dispenser broke a year ago. When using the spray feature, you do have to turn the water all the way off to go back to stream. And the final kicker, the handle is leaking somewhere and I don't know were. I called the company and they were not familiar with the symptoms I gave (leaking somewhere up high and then dripping down into my cabinet. They thought it would be a part in the handle but also was surprised my water continued to come out of the faucet without loss of pressure. So for $25 I could buy a part that may or may not fix the problem. I chose to look for a new faucet. It looks good and other than the spray thing worked good when it worked.	negative
0	Quality & Design Issues	I should have paid more attention to other people's comments. As others stated in their reviews, the faucet turns itself off unless it is wide open. This will drive you mad. I removed the handle and tightened the compression nut as much as I dared, but still the problem persisted. I have now had the set installed for a year and I guess enough deposits have built up internally that the self turn-off problem has subsided. The soap dispenser stopped working about 2 months ago. I found the the tiny hole at the tip seemed to be internally lined with plastic and was constricted. I used a 1/16" drill and carefully drilled through the tip. This corrected the problem (at least for now). This set is expensive and should work better for the amount of money. Also, the extreme high rise of the faucet leads to horrible splashing problems.	negative
0	Poor Long-Term Durability	We've had one of these for about five years. After about a year, the handle started falling off. We finally got it to stay on by glueing the handle on with GE Silicone II. Next, the rubber cover for the spray control on the pull-out started falling off. We finally gave up and left it off. It's still sitting in a drawer by the sink. Now the control assembly is leaking under the sink (all connections are secure--a plumber confirmed the control assembly is the problem). Now we have to decide whether to repair or replace. We're reluctant to repair it,because we have had so much trouble with it.	negative
0	Um..	Why is this book going for over 9,000$? You can buy the hardback for $7, lol. Prices need to be fixed, thank you. (Insert "Its over 9 THOUSAND!" joke here).The book is an amazing one, very well written. The second book is also very nice. Sadly the third isn't out yet, and I doubt it will be for quite some time. This however, is not worth 9,000, haha. Buy the hard-cover instead, or go to your local bookstore. It's out of print, but they might have it on their shelves still if you're lucky.	negative
1	This book is good	Jamison has successfully covered the intricasies of presidential campaign advertising from the beginning of the Republic up to the 1992 campaign. A well organized and thoughtful book that is easy to read.	positive
1	The refrence in political advertising	This book is probably the msot thoughful about presidential campaign advertising. You read it like a novel!	positive
0	More of a dictionary.	If you're looking for a basic dictionary to tell you what certain words are then this might be what you want, although if you are a true southerner then you'll already know what all of these words are anyway. I was looking for origins for these terms and phrases and this book doesn not offer that information.	negative
1	GREAT BOOK!!	This book is so neat. If you grew up in the south around the 40's and 50's everyone talked this way and I love to just sit down with anyone still using this language but when us older ones are gone I am afraid it will disappear. I bought my aunt a copy and she loves it. Those were the happy days when things were simple and there was a lot of love in the home. GREAT BOOK! for sure. Thanks Mr. Ray Cunningham.	positive
0	Not What I Expected	I found this book to be less than I expected. It's important to note the subtitle of the book--"A Disappearing Language". This is because the language represented here is not what Southerners currently speak, but what they might have sounded like in the 30's or 40's. You'll find a lot of old-fashioned terms that nobody has used for decades.In addition, I was expecting a book about Southern dialect, but this is a brief dictionary-like volume. There is actually not much written about Southern dialect. It is only a list of words or phrases with a brief definition and an example sentence. To make matters worse, half of the entries are just pronunciation variants, so you don't learn much about Southern dialect by reading them.If you're looking for a Southern dialect dictionary, there are better ones on the market. If you're looking for information about the formation and characteristics of Southern dialect, you'll find nothing in this volume. I recommend to avoid it.	negative
1	Tales of a budding, avant-garde soul artist	After hearing the Worthnothings EP, Georgia Anne Muldrow quickly catapulted herself into becoming one of my favorite artists. Her voice is raw and honest, her music is like a rare hip-hop jazz fusion dish you've only tasted once but feel as if you've eaten it all of your life. The EP itself is a reflection of coming of age struggles and of times when potential is so strongly bottled up that it almost seems to runneth over.What I particularly love about Georgia is that when she sings, you know it's her and no one else. She just has this way of floating about notes that's so eccentric yet so poignant and undeniably fly at the same time. To me, Ms. Muldrow often sings as if she's the missing instrument in a basement jazz jamming session.This album alone was my soundtrack during my last year of college. So many great memories every time I give it a listen.	positive
1	"Jazz Etudes"	Don't throw away your old Hanon! This book is not tied to the successfull formula of the origional Hanon. It replaces the repetition and drill-like nature with a set of short, progressive jazz studies. But while initially misled by the title, I find this different approach successfull. With little explanation or theory I've been able to progress significantly just by working my way through the book -- moving on to the next exercise as soon as I feel comfortable with the last. For those of us who feel a little like a fish out of water in Jazz, this is a great way to learn to breathe air.	positive
1	Awesome tale	OK, the movie is the real deal. This poster is a repro. Its big, its fun, and the printing is OK (better from distance than under up-close scrutiny). But my budget wasn't going to cover an authentic original, so I got what I was looking for instead.	positive
0	don't waste your money!	This book reminds me of one of those low budget horror movies. The writing is pretty elementary and undeveloped. However, I had just finished reading a novel by Dan Simmons and I guess that didn't help. If you enjoy Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon, Stephen King, and Dan Simmons then this book will probably be a disappointment.	negative
1	FBI docudrama	Richard Widmark plays cerebral and hypochondriacal Alec Stiles, boss of a crime syndicate in metropolitan Centre City. Stiles, an up and comer in the world of crime has orchestrated two capers that have resulted in two deaths using the same pistol as the murder weapon.FBI investigator George Briggs played by a no nonsense Lloyd Nolan, recruits agent Gene Cordell played by Mark Stevens to infiltrate Widmark's gang. Stevens eventually gains Widmark's confidence and becomes a member of the gang. He soon learns that Widmark has a stoolie in the local police who is able to access FBI reports making life dangerous for Stevens.Director William Keighley in dramatic documentary style proceeds to chronicle the effort put forth by the FBI and local law enforcement to prosecute Widmark and his ruthless gang. Of course we learn that crime doesn't pay	positive
1	A First-Rate Noir	STREET WITH NO NAME(1948)---Richard Widmark, Mark Stevens, Lloyd Nolan, John McIntire, Barbara LawrenceA good noir with Widmark once again portraying a "seriously bent" bad guy and Mark Stevens as the undercover "G-Man" who infiltrates Widmark's gang in order to bring him down. It's done in "docu-drama" style and, at times, is little more than a public relations vehicle for the FBI. Good performances from all involved. It was re-made in 1955 as, HOUSE OF BAMBOO, starring Robert Ryan in the Widmark role and Robert Stack in the Mark Stevens role. Re-set in Japan, and filmed in CinemaScope, it's a "turkey" compared to the 1948 film. Ryan is the best thing about the re-make.	positive
1	STREET WITH NO NAME BUT A HOUSE OF BAMBOO	The two movies offered for sale together are the same movie in two different locales. The key is the gun that Richard Widmark uses tp wipe out men he has to leave behind. It's a Luger forWidmark and Robert Ryan uses a Walther P-38. Aside from the girl that helps Robert Stack, the movies are the same, both done well but very little change beyond costume to the story lines.	positive

1	Swift Justice, by Nigel Walpole.	This is a well writen book. I applaud the author's honesty, who, for the first time, as a pilot, has written not only about the exploits of his peers, but also about the groundcrew servicing the Swift. It was a difficult aircraft to maintain. However, due to the professionalism of those who flew the aircraft, and groundcrew, they helped salvage a hitherto problematic image of the earlier mark 1 aircraft into a measured triumph for the FR5 variant. This book puts the record straight, and is a very good read.	positive
1	Other albums are better	David Calzado y La charanga habanera are a really good group when it comes to dance on their songs. Really! But, that's right that lots of their songs seems to be the same. But overall, they are good. I've got all of their albums and love them all. Just play that Timba group, and you'll be dancing like a star!	positive
1	grandes exitos	David Calzado y la Charanga Habanera is one of the best groups when it comes to music. They have one of the best salsa around the world, including any Puerto Rican groups.	positive
1	Great Rythm on every song.	La Charanga Habanera provides a rythm rich Cuban music. This CD is great to improve my mood when I don't feel happy.Regretfully all music arrangements are the identical (Chorus I, Song words, Chorus II, Chorus III, Chorus IV).	positive
1	Reminds me of Home!	As a former resident of Lake Charles (now Los Angeles) I have had PLENTY of time to miss the good food that my Mom and Grandmother made for me. This is one of the best ways to make up for not having them around!Many of the best home-tested recipes for some of the most basic and well-loved cajun and creole dishes are here, waiting for you to discover them. I especially love the Etouffee and the hush puppies! A must for ANYONE interested in Southern cooking.	positive
1	Wonderful true Cajun cookbook!	This is one of the very best cookbooks to have on Cajun dishes. I've had mine since the mid 1970s and use it constantly. This one was purchased for a friend that loves to experiment with foods and I know they will enjoy it!	positive
1	Timeless	I received Pirate's Pantry 34 years ago as a wedding gift and purchased two for my children as wedding gifts. I also ordered myself another one since my copy is OVERUSED. Great southern recipes and a must have.	positive
0	Bad customer service	I ordered these strings for my business. After waiting and waiting I called the company Musicians Friend. They told me they no longer carried the strings. Period. No "sorry for the inconvienance or we'll send you out something simular or gee did we cause your business inconveniance?" When I asked if they had something simular I could buy I was told, "we have lots of strings you'll just have to go on line and look." Which is what I had done before. I might as well buy lottery tickets, at least then I know the odds of getting what I paid for.	negative
0	Let's Go Austria and Switz-a big step down	I've been a budget traveler in Europe for 20 years, and have always relied on the "Let's Go" books to take me not only to the well-known spots cheaply, but point out some places I might not otherwise have seen. This edition of Let's Go made me wish I hadn't left my '00 edition in the train station when I left. It devotes a miniscule # of pages to Switzerland, and lists almost no side trips or off the beaten path sites. The restaurant and accomodations reviews seem likely accurate but superficial, and the numbers of places reviewed has dropped by about 50% in my estimate. Also missing are several former great spots, like La Chaux de Fonds, and its watch museum(probably the most interesting and well-set up museum in Switz), and the Museum of Art and History in Geneva itself. I'd recommend "The Rough Guide to Switz" instead. It has the kind of detail that the older editions had, especially if you want to see the real Switzerland.	negative
0	It is what it is...	It's an uncensored version of the show, but that doesn't say much for what it is. The show is pretty terrible in my own opinion, but it is exactly as promised. As per the WMVHD format, it played well on my computer (2.4GHz board, 64-bit AMD processor, 4 gigs RAM, 128-bit video card).	negative
1	Produces good results	I am pleased with the results of this product. One jug produced a weight gain for me of 8 lbs. I didn't take it exactly like the directions indicate. I only used two scoops, but added two bananas and two full tablespoons of peanut butter mixed in milk. Used a blender to mix and refrigerated prior drinking. The taste is good. I didn't take it everyday either, but always drank it in addition to normal meals. The only draw back is the price.	positive
0	Expect stomatch upset and a cloying, gritty sweetness	The positives: tastes like chocolate milk, has a lot of good quality calories.The negatives: powder does not dissolve well at all and stays clumped -- tends to float first (so top of liquid is full of powder and denser than at the bottom of the glass) and then sink so that you can't drink it all. Overly sweet. Causes a lot of intestinal gas.I've stopped drinking mine. This is for serious body builders with iron stomachs only.	negative
0	No stars for this book	As a public librarian who is also in charge of ordering and circulating children's books, I was horrified when I previewed this book. I would never put this book on our library shelves. Even though perhaps the hidden point of the book is to decide who is the actual "beast" in the story, the point does not come across and the young reader stands a good chance of being traumatized by reading this book.	negative
0	awful	In a book of maps wouldn't we expect to find one overview map and not all regional maps!? In addition, the Table of Contents absolutely does not correlate with pages in the book...eg: they direct us to page 180 for" temperatures", where there is a map of Pamplona and an alphabetical listing of towns in Spain starting with "P".	negative
0	un tested	Hi! Have not put it to the test, will be also taking a GPS. What more can one say about something one has not yet used. mavis	negative
1	G Ma	An absolutely beautiful, collectible Disney story book. Still not quite the one I was looking for, but so close and so well taken care of. It's definitely a keeper.	positive
1	This book Rocks!	This book was really good! Disney movies are the best and this book brings out the magic! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.	positive
1	A good first digital camera	I spent a lot of time looking at reviews and comparing models before I bought this camera back in March. The picture quality is almost unparalleled in it's price range. It is fairly easy to learn,and it comes with a quality no frills photo editing software (Image Expert). Toshiba provides excellent customer support. I used it extensively for a Windows related problem (I ultimately found out the problem was with my computer not the camera/software).I strongly recommend getting NI-MH rechargeable batteries, alkaline batteries only last a few hours. An 8MB Smart Media card is ok to start with, but will only hold 7 high quality images.The only drawback I have found after 3 months of almost daily use, is the design of the camera. It is boxy and somewhat difficult to maneuver. It took me longer to get used to it than any other camera I have owned.Overall this camera is an excellent buy, and makes a good first time digital camera.	positive
0	Unreliable	We purchased the first PDR-M25 on 5/16. It lasted for 31 days, and then it would not turn on. Toshiba exchanged it for another camera (same model). When the replacement came, it would NOT take a picture when it first came out of the box. Then it took a few pictures, and then seized up again and the shutter button would not work. Toshiba sent another camera, same model, and it lasted 61 days before it refused to focus properly and the flash got out of sync with the shutter. I am awaiting camera #4, as Toshiba refused to send my money back.	negative
1	Great Starter with Pro features	This is my first digital camera.Toshiba did not dissapoint. Simple to operate, I got started immediately. Software is great and user friendly. I recommend upgrading the digital card to 128MB so you don't have to worry about taking the best quality photos and running out of disk space.	positive
1	good low cost camera	I have owned this camera for about 3 months and I am very happy with it. It takes great shots and is easy to operate. The menu is easy to work through and covers everything. Using the max resolution, I have been able to print a 8x10 photo with good results. The only problem I have found is taking pictures in a low light situation. The camera has a difficult time focusing in the auto-focus mode. Overall for the price [$$$] at the local store I am very pleased.	positive
0	This piece of junk died on me	Usually, I have good experiences with Toshiba's products. For example, I have a Toshiba DVD player that I am very happy with. However, this digital camera was a disappointment in almost every aspect. A minor gripe was the short battery life, but that's a very common problem with digital cameras in general. Major problem #1: This camera has a VERY hard time focusing in low-light situations. Unless you're in a brightly lit room or outside on a sunny day, your pictures stand a good chance of being out of focus. Major problem #2: I owned this camera less than six months when it refused to recognize the existence of batteries. I tried many different types of fresh batteries, but it says they're all dead. Now I have to look into getting warranty service. If I had it to do over, I would have invested a little more in a higher-quality camera (and a brand other than Toshiba). You really do get what you pay for when it comes to digital cameras.	negative
0	don't bother	I am so relieved to see other bad reviews about this camera. This camera was given to me as a gift, but I have never liked it. The picture quality is awful and it is bulky and hard to handle. There are a few ways to get around some of the problems, but they too time consuming when you just want a camera to take a few great candid shots. Life is too short to use a poorly designed camera.It has nothing to do with knowing how to use a camera.All previous reviewers have said everything else that needs to be said.	negative
0	PDR-M25	Camera broke after only 1 year of use. The zoom quit working. I agree about the poor indoor or low light photos. If the batteries were not new and the expensive kind it would not take good photos. I got a cannon wide zoom now and there is no comparison.	negative
0	Toshiba PDR 3300 digital camara	Even if it was for free It's not worth your time or moneyBattery life is horendous that you will never have a pleasant day taking pictures with this camara. Plus it has some flaky problem that it does not always turn on even if it has battery life left.	negative
0	Waste of money	This was my first digital camera and I spent my hard earned money on it. Picture quality indoors was very poor, outside was ok. Downloads were easy and fast. Battery life was a joke,it would never be consistant on how long they would last a day or two weeks..I used rechargable ones from the start and had two kinds it never made a difference.Now after 6 mo the camera will not recognize the charged battery at all.I have tried every thing new batteries 3 kinds and still nothing . So basically I have a useless camera,tech support at Toshiba is worthless and no one will work on the camera around here..they tell me to throw it away and buy something other than Toshiba.Great! Well that finished me with ever buying a Toshiba product again and you can be sure I will tell EVERYONE I know, that they need to look elsewhere for a better company and product.	negative
0	Worst camera and company on the planet	My camera was DOA upon arrival. It never worked from the minute that I opened the factory sealed box.Toshiba offered to fix it if I mailed it to their service center and waited 4-6 weeks for them to repair it. Yeah, right.My other option was to buy an identical camera from them and if I mail in this piece of junk they will give me a "discount" on my next purchase. I shouldn't have to PAY MONEY to get a camera replaced that never worked and is supposedly under warranty.The bottom line is that the product is a piece of junk that never worked. The fact that the repair department has a 4-6 week backlog proves that these cameras are junk.I will never buy any Toshiba product again in my life. I am very dissapointed with this camera and the way Toshiba treats their customers after the sale is downright insulting.	negative
0	Trust me - Avoid all Toshiba products	I hate the fact that I have to write this negative review but do yourself a huge favor and buy anything but a Toshiba camera. I bought the PDR-M25 from Toshiba and it didn't work when I received the unit. The LCD display on the back didn't work and the unit was basically a factory defect.I contact Toshiba and they tell me that I have two (2) choices.#1) - Send the camera to a "repair facility" in Illinois and wait 4-6 weeks for the camera to be repaired and returned to me.#2) - I can "trade-in" my defective camera for another unit and since I'm trading-in the JUNK they sent me in the first place they are willing to give me a discount on the other camera.This is completely unacceptable. I have filed a written complaing against Toshiba with my states attorney generals office and I will never buy any product from Toshiba again.	negative
0	Model PD3300 Digital Camera	I have owned serveral Toshiba products ie TV-VCR-DVD player; This is my first digital camera. This camera is the most aggrevating electronic piece of junk I have ever owned. I have called Toshiba service (a waste of time) switched to other S/D cards and batteries.The camera works when it wants to, quits when it wants to, and doesn't work most of the time. When my $3600.00 Cinama series TV had a problem they sent someone to fix it; a few hundred for one of their cameras wont even get you a return call if you have a question. I am now the proud owner of a Fuji S3100 (great camera)which I purchase from Amazon.com(which is a good company to deal with) the PD3300 sets on my desk as a paper weight and reminder to never buy something with the Toshiba name on it. I hope I saved you some grief and money. Sincerely [...]	negative
0	Batteries eaten four at a time rapidly	It does everything it's supposed to do but all you'll do is change the batteries. Moreover the battery symbol on the camera goes from "full" to "empty" with no warning. Someone else said it but I'll repeat...a battery HOG.	negative
0	Disappointing	I was so happy when this book was over. I'm a big fan of Connie Mason but this book was not one of her best reads it had potential but just didn't make it for me. I got so tired of the author mentioning belle's leg, okay we know it's "lame" as it was mention over and over again. Belle not trusting Casey was wearing me OUT. Get this one from a friend or the library.	negative
0	Campy thriller	Michael Gough plays a zoo owner who uses his animals to kill anyone who threatens the future of his business. This is a pretty mediocre movie other than a couple of amusing scenes where Gough gets to address his lounging big cats as if they were humans listening to Shakespeare--otherwise this is slow moving and not very suspenseful.	negative
1	Good product, does as advertised	Had this for some installs, we needed the wire mappers function and got the tone tracer too. Cool toys. simple, effective. We used it for cat5, coax and duplex. Nice functions. Will tell you if a cable is live, but does not detect type. Get this too...20 Set Rj45 Wiremappers Identifier Resi/Testifier	positive
1	TESTIFY!!!	Excellent product. wish it came with a carrying case but, those are easy to find.Comes with one remote test dongle so, be sure to get the add on packages if you really want to use this product for more than cable testing...Also, really lightens the mood of a job site during testing to be able to get it out and start preachin' about TESTIFY!!! hehehe	positive
1	Its Great!!	This CDG is great. It exactly what I needed, for a party of 13 year old kids! They all liked the music!!	positive
1	Mr. Wiggle Goes To The Library	This is an excellent book for introducing children to the library. I am a kindergarten teacher and I have used this book along with the book Mr. Wiggle to teach students about the proper care of books and the responsibilites of checking out books from the library. I even encouraged our school librarian to use these books.	positive
0	Listen Juanes instead	This CD is awful.Turbay has no talent whatsoever. He was part of a band called 'Polygamia' and they only got a record contract because they were a bunch of rich kids who had connections with people who worked on Sony Records.If you want to listen a really talented Colombian artist, pick a CD by Juanes, Ekhymosis, or Aterciopelados.	negative
0	A Mediocre Medieval	I've read some of this authors regencies, but this is my first medieval by her, and I was disappointed. Everything here is tired and predictable, an overbearing hero and a damaged, saintly heroine, yawn, yawn.

1	Starbrite Mildew Remover - It's out of sight!!	We first tried this in the spray bottle and was amazed at how well it worked on boat seats. We live around the water and mildew is a way of life -- but it is gone with the Starbrite Mildew Cleaner and a Mr. Magic Eraser. Since we find so many things to use it on, we are going for the gallon - it works out better cost wise.	positive
0	DO NOT PURCHASE	This pedometer is horrible! It is not sensitive enough so it only counts about half the steps you take! Buy something that actually works!	negative
0	Poor quality	this pedometer was a big disappointment. Very poor quality. The walking booklet is a joke. Also, the color is apparently varible. The ones I got were orange.	negative
0	broke the second day I used it	Although this product is easy to use, it broke the second day I used it. I found that the device would not stay closed and does not count the steps you take unless it is closed properly. I'm now on line looking for another pedometer.	negative
1	Great motivation!!!!	This pedometer works really well!! I aim for 10,000 steps a day and have found that it is quite accurate and easy to read. The controls are simple to use as well. Overall, I would recommend this product for hassle-free walks!!	positive
0	Works great .... SOMETIMES.	This works so well when my husband opens it up shakes it and gives it back. Then 2 days later it skips steps again. I try to walk 10,000 - 12,000 steps a day. It is so frustrating to go on a long walk and find out zero steps were counted. This happens all of the time. I thought it was just a defective one so I went to Target and purchased another one. The new one worked well for 6 days and now I back to the same problem. I DO NOT suggest purchasing this peice of JUNK.	negative
0	Another Bad Review	My husband and I each bought one of these pedometers from Target. Mine counted only every other step, before it stopped altogether. This was within a week of purchase. My husband somehow has managed to get 9000 steps while sitting most of the day at a desk. Go figure!	negative
0	Overpriced and only for running	After participating in a program at the office that encouraged us to walk by giving us pedometers and record sheets, I was addicted and bought this one after the program was over. Bad choice. (It does have a reset button, far left - hold it down for 3 seconds. The instruction are inside the background card of the bubble packaging that has sketchy instructions on the back, I had to call the company to find this out) It only measures acuratly while running. The pendulum is heavy and not very responsive. I wore it side by side with the program pedometer and found it only measured 1/3 of the steps. It worked best when hooked to my bra but the unattractive bulge was not tolerable. Running, it was more accurate.If all this doesn't phase you, buy it at Walmart - Less then 1/2 the price even with tax, not counting the horrendous shipping charge (from this partner of amazon store, no super saver here) and you can return it easy.	negative
0	Sportline quality dropping	Buyer beware on this item. I've been using these little Sportlines for about 5 years now with pretty good results. Good enough to justify the price. I recently bought two more to replace units I'd damaged or lost, or that simply quit working. Both new units were defective. The mechanical side failed on one - was frozen and would not move. The other unit counted about one step of every 5. The seller took them back with no problem, but save yourself some grief and buy a better unit. These are made in China now, and live up to China's reputation for producing low-quality goods with little or no quality control.	negative
0	so-so	Owned (2) Sportline 345 Electric for nearly 12 years, but probably only used them a couple weeks in the beginning. Then lost interest. Put away in storage. Brought back out to use in 10,000 step Challenge at work. Besides the batteries needing replaced, which were not of a common size, one failed the second day after bringing out of storage. It might be due to wearing during 1 hour of volleyball. The other is still working after day 4. It too was used during volleyball.	negative
1	Very good pedometer	I am really satisfied with this pedometer. It stays clipped on my belt really well (I had one of a different brand that fell off and broke), the display is large and easy to read at your waist, and all the functions are wonderful. I shopped around a little (ended up buying it at The Sports Authority for the same price as online), but I'm glad I ended up with this one. It's great to see how far I've travelled in the day.	positive
0	Not accurate	I mounted the pedometer to my belt in front as indicated in the directions. It recorded 8800 steps for a 5.3 mile walk. The next day I did the exact same walk, this time mouting the pedometer to my ankle. It recorded 12500 steps. The next day was raining so I walked for 2 hours at the mall with the pedometer mounted on the ankle and recorded 9000 steps. I returned home and it stopped raining. I decided to walk outside my usual route. I walked approximately 3 miles. The pedometer recorded and additional 1000 steps.	negative
0	Choose another	This pedometer has many useful features. It is easy to read and to change modes, and it gives steps (according to stride), counts calories, measures distance, and is comfortable to wear. However, it just doesn't work. Three days of walking the same route at the same speed gave widely varying numbers of steps; once, it even reset to zero during my walk (the buttons are enclosed in a case, so I did not inadvertently reset it). It is difficult to open and extemely difficult to change the battery (which I tried, thinking the battery might be the problem -- it wasn't). Within the past 3 weeks, I have bought two Sportline 345s and two other Sportline models. They are all in the trash, and I'm looking for another brand.	negative
0	Just doesn't work!	This pedometer seemed to have all of the features I wanted but that isn't important if it won't do what it is suppose to do. It does not register your steps. Most of the time it just stays on a number. Save your money and look else where for a better pedometer.	negative
0	one star above support staff	This product is unreliable: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I thought walking was supposed to be fun. Not only was the battery difficult to change, but the directions on both the packaging and their OLD website listed the wrong size battery. They have no contact number, toll-free or not, and they still haven't answered my e-mail as of a few weeks ago.I finally saw the correction for battery size on their new website, and that was a bit tricky to access( you need to be lucky to get there twice).With all the schmoozing about Walking Across America etc., a little customer service would go a lot further..Maybe they vacation during the summers when everyone is out using their product. Never Again!	negative
1	This Book Changed My Life	This book convinced me of the importance of recognizing one's gifts -- and just as importantly, owning up to them, instead of dismissing them with false notions of modesty -- and then finding the best way of giving those gifts back to God and the community. I realized that gifts and talents left undeveloped and unexpressed lead to frustration and unhappiness; and that pursuing the development of one's gifts is holy work. That may sound self-absorbed, but it's actually the opposite; it's a matter of opening oneself up to allow God to work through your life. This book is out of print, so whenever I see a copy at a used bookstore I buy one and pass it along. Let this book change your life, too!	positive
0	Concerned about potency after shipping	"Culturelle must not exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit." That's on the box. The box guarantees potency only if those instructions are followed.We all know trucks can get hot inside. So I've tried to get this product shipped to me in cold pack. Several vendors have refused, saying, "we ship it in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations."So I called the manufacturer. They said it was safe to ship by ordinary means. But how do they know? When I asked for written proof, they had none. Then I learned that they had acquired this product, and the original manufacturer used to ship it in cold pack. So I am concerned.After shipping, does the guarantee of potency on the box mean anything? How would I know if this product were heat damaged? Is it going on a reputation that it no longer lives up to?	negative

0	Very Dissapointed with the CD	I purchased the book a week ago, with the intention of sharpening my math skills via the 4 sample tests provided on the CD-Rom. I have now taken 3 of the 4 math tests and have found over half a dozen errors, such as problems that are missing the correct answer, repeat answers, and answers that the computer thinks are right but are actually wrong. When I plop down $20+ I expect something that has been carefully edited and free of mistakes. The book might be great, I haven't had time to look through it, but the CD is very dissapointing. To do over again I would buy a good ACT book, minus the crudy CD, for half the price. Once I find the receipt I am going to get my money back.	negative
1	Has everything I need in one bottle.	My dr. recommended this supplement for me 3 yrs ago for when I was sick with possibly CFS. I had to quit my job due to extreme fatigue among other problems. It seemed to help me along with other supplements I was taking to get better. I tried to find other supplements like this one, but couldn't find one that had everything this supplement had, so I came back to this one. I don't 'do' powders or liquids so that's why I chose the capsules. Although it is expensive, you can find it cheaper if you look around on Amazon.	positive

1	An Excellent Read!	I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I admit I'll never look at mangoes in quite the same way! I very much cared about the characters and what happened to them. The ending came as quite a surprise and I loved the resolution. The pace was fast and never slowed for me. I would have prefered the book to be even longer, but I suppose that's because I didn't want it to end!	positive
0	Not what I expected	I read some of the wonderful reviews posted here and I purchased Once A Pirate. I was highly disappointed. Weak, simpering, characters give me a headache. I would also expect Andrew, who is the leader of the Pirate Ship, to not have such upstanding, prudish, traits. poor Characterization is a huge disappointment, but then again, maybe it's just me.	negative
0	What A Let Down	Like the other reviewer said, they were on a ship, on a ship, on a ship. Simple characters in a simple story that was uneventful and boring. I love time travel's so bought it after the glowing reviews and can't believe how misled I was.	negative

Decent budget knife

I'm not a connoisseur of knives by any means, and probably wouldn't have purchased this knife if it weren't included with another purchase I'd made.That said, I've found this to be a decent knife to just keep handy around the house for simple tasks like opening boxes, destroying annoying rigid plastic packaging, and cutting cables or strings. It's certainly not as sharp as the Kershaw Ken Onion knife which I regularly keep on my person, but also doesn't carry the price tag.It has a blade, folds, and the locking feature works - at this price, that's about what you can expect. If you're looking for a ridiculously high quality product... well, you get what you pay for.

Works, but not as advertised

CONS: The product description says that it will remember the last track played. On my 4G memory this is important because if not then I would have to press the advance button through hundreds of songs to get to the one I want. The unit worked when I received it but did not remember the track! I was very disappointed and what's worse is I was on day 12 of a 7 day return policy!PROS: The price is good. The unit plays well. The sound is clear however on my truck sound system there was an underlying hiss present on all songs and on all stations. This hiss is not normally present on CD's played through the sound system. I did not notice this hiss present on my Lexus sound system. The overall fidelity was good but not great.I cannot use this because of the memory issue. I would not recommend this unit to anyone because of this.

Not Good

This FM Trasmitter is not satisfactory. The volume is not of high quality and not loud enough. I already had the Port Authority 2 FM Transmitter. That is far better than this product.Remote is also useless.It might be useful if you play USB. Haven't tried that though.Very dissapointed.

Extremely good product. I love it.

The player that i received first did not remember the last played track and did not play in alphabetical order, though it was playing well. I wrote a mail to the seller. He said "I dont like my customers to be unhappy" and offered to send a free replacement. He sent the replacement in 3 days time as promised. The replaced one plays extremely well in alphabetical order and remembers last track it played. Above all, the quality of the FM transmitter is excellent. It is very worth for the amount i paid.

Poor quality, plain and simple!

We've owned this faucet for four years now and have had multiple issues with this unit. First, the soap dispenser's material started to deteriorate inside the canister and clogged the dispenser. We tried to remedy the problem, but the material just kept flaking and shedding; mixing with the soap, so we were unable to keep it fixed. Second, the sprayers second setting stopped working and shoots water in every direction. Third, the plastic sheath under the sprayer broke and continually comes off.I've yet to contact PF about the problems, but plan to tomorrow. I hear they have pretty good customer service, so we shall see. I'll come back and report what I find.

Poor quality - perhaps Price Pfister is having service issues

I am working on this review as a long term review and will be posting quality issues along with customer service responses to the failed sprayer head. Hopefully the company will vindicate themselves and respond to my warranty repair or at best replace the entire faulty unit.Stay tuned for the revised review and ....the rest of the story.

Not worth the money

We've had this faucet for about 2 months and I can't wait to get a new one. The handle is too heavy so if you can only use it with the water coming out full blast. If you try to use it with it producing less water, gravity pulls the handle down and it shuts off. The pull out sprayer goes back in very akwardly. It does not go back in by itself, you have to work it back into the opening. And the soap dispenser is junk. It's only redeeming quality is that it looks good.

looks good works bad

I'm looking because I have this faucet in a house about 7 years old. The soap dispenser broke a year ago. When using the spray feature, you do have to turn the water all the way off to go back to stream. And the final kicker, the handle is leaking somewhere and I don't know were. I called the company and they were not familiar with the symptoms I gave (leaking somewhere up high and then dripping down into my cabinet. They thought it would be a part in the handle but also was surprised my water continued to come out of the faucet without loss of pressure. So for $25 I could buy a part that may or may not fix the problem. I chose to look for a new faucet. It looks good and other than the spray thing worked good when it worked.

Quality & Design Issues

I should have paid more attention to other people's comments. As others stated in their reviews, the faucet turns itself off unless it is wide open. This will drive you mad. I removed the handle and tightened the compression nut as much as I dared, but still the problem persisted. I have now had the set installed for a year and I guess enough deposits have built up internally that the self turn-off problem has subsided. The soap dispenser stopped working about 2 months ago. I found the the tiny hole at the tip seemed to be internally lined with plastic and was constricted. I used a 1/16" drill and carefully drilled through the tip. This corrected the problem (at least for now). This set is expensive and should work better for the amount of money. Also, the extreme high rise of the faucet leads to horrible splashing problems.

Poor Long-Term Durability

We've had one of these for about five years. After about a year, the handle started falling off. We finally got it to stay on by glueing the handle on with GE Silicone II. Next, the rubber cover for the spray control on the pull-out started falling off. We finally gave up and left it off. It's still sitting in a drawer by the sink. Now the control assembly is leaking under the sink (all connections are secure--a plumber confirmed the control assembly is the problem). Now we have to decide whether to repair or replace. We're reluctant to repair it,because we have had so much trouble with it.

Um..

Why is this book going for over 9,000$? You can buy the hardback for $7, lol. Prices need to be fixed, thank you. (Insert "Its over 9 THOUSAND!" joke here).The book is an amazing one, very well written. The second book is also very nice. Sadly the third isn't out yet, and I doubt it will be for quite some time. This however, is not worth 9,000, haha. Buy the hard-cover instead, or go to your local bookstore. It's out of print, but they might have it on their shelves still if you're lucky.

More of a dictionary.

If you're looking for a basic dictionary to tell you what certain words are then this might be what you want, although if you are a true southerner then you'll already know what all of these words are anyway. I was looking for origins for these terms and phrases and this book doesn not offer that information.

GREAT BOOK!!

This book is so neat. If you grew up in the south around the 40's and 50's everyone talked this way and I love to just sit down with anyone still using this language but when us older ones are gone I am afraid it will disappear. I bought my aunt a copy and she loves it. Those were the happy days when things were simple and there was a lot of love in the home. GREAT BOOK! for sure. Thanks Mr. Ray Cunningham.

Not What I Expected

I found this book to be less than I expected. It's important to note the subtitle of the book--"A Disappearing Language". This is because the language represented here is not what Southerners currently speak, but what they might have sounded like in the 30's or 40's. You'll find a lot of old-fashioned terms that nobody has used for decades.In addition, I was expecting a book about Southern dialect, but this is a brief dictionary-like volume. There is actually not much written about Southern dialect. It is only a list of words or phrases with a brief definition and an example sentence. To make matters worse, half of the entries are just pronunciation variants, so you don't learn much about Southern dialect by reading them.If you're looking for a Southern dialect dictionary, there are better ones on the market. If you're looking for information about the formation and characteristics of Southern dialect, you'll find nothing in this volume. I recommend to avoid it.

Tales of a budding, avant-garde soul artist

After hearing the Worthnothings EP, Georgia Anne Muldrow quickly catapulted herself into becoming one of my favorite artists. Her voice is raw and honest, her music is like a rare hip-hop jazz fusion dish you've only tasted once but feel as if you've eaten it all of your life. The EP itself is a reflection of coming of age struggles and of times when potential is so strongly bottled up that it almost seems to runneth over.What I particularly love about Georgia is that when she sings, you know it's her and no one else. She just has this way of floating about notes that's so eccentric yet so poignant and undeniably fly at the same time. To me, Ms. Muldrow often sings as if she's the missing instrument in a basement jazz jamming session.This album alone was my soundtrack during my last year of college. So many great memories every time I give it a listen.

"Jazz Etudes"

Don't throw away your old Hanon! This book is not tied to the successfull formula of the origional Hanon. It replaces the repetition and drill-like nature with a set of short, progressive jazz studies. But while initially misled by the title, I find this different approach successfull. With little explanation or theory I've been able to progress significantly just by working my way through the book -- moving on to the next exercise as soon as I feel comfortable with the last. For those of us who feel a little like a fish out of water in Jazz, this is a great way to learn to breathe air.

don't waste your money!

This book reminds me of one of those low budget horror movies. The writing is pretty elementary and undeveloped. However, I had just finished reading a novel by Dan Simmons and I guess that didn't help. If you enjoy Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon, Stephen King, and Dan Simmons then this book will probably be a disappointment.

A First-Rate Noir

STREET WITH NO NAME(1948)---Richard Widmark, Mark Stevens, Lloyd Nolan, John McIntire, Barbara LawrenceA good noir with Widmark once again portraying a "seriously bent" bad guy and Mark Stevens as the undercover "G-Man" who infiltrates Widmark's gang in order to bring him down. It's done in "docu-drama" style and, at times, is little more than a public relations vehicle for the FBI. Good performances from all involved. It was re-made in 1955 as, HOUSE OF BAMBOO, starring Robert Ryan in the Widmark role and Robert Stack in the Mark Stevens role. Re-set in Japan, and filmed in CinemaScope, it's a "turkey" compared to the 1948 film. Ryan is the best thing about the re-make.

The two movies offered for sale together are the same movie in two different locales. The key is the gun that Richard Widmark uses tp wipe out men he has to leave behind.

Aside from the girl that helps Robert Stack, the movies are the same, both done well but very little change beyond costume to the story lines.

Swift Justice, by Nigel Walpole.

This is a well writen book. I applaud the author's honesty, who, for the first time, as a pilot, has written not only about the exploits of his peers, but also about the groundcrew servicing the Swift. It was a difficult aircraft to maintain. However, due to the professionalism of those who flew the aircraft, and groundcrew, they helped salvage a hitherto problematic image of the earlier mark 1 aircraft into a measured triumph for the FR5 variant. This book puts the record straight, and is a very good read.

When I asked if they had something simular I could buy I was told, "we have lots of strings you'll just have to go on line and look." Which is what I had done before.

Let's Go Austria and Switz-a big step down

I've been a budget traveler in Europe for 20 years, and have always relied on the "Let's Go" books to take me not only to the well-known spots cheaply, but point out some places I might not otherwise have seen. This edition of Let's Go made me wish I hadn't left my '00 edition in the train station when I left. It devotes a miniscule # of pages to Switzerland, and lists almost no side trips or off the beaten path sites. The restaurant and accomodations reviews seem likely accurate but superficial, and the numbers of places reviewed has dropped by about 50% in my estimate. Also missing are several former great spots, like La Chaux de Fonds, and its watch museum(probably the most interesting and well-set up museum in Switz), and the Museum of Art and History in Geneva itself. I'd recommend "The Rough Guide to Switz" instead. It has the kind of detail that the older editions had, especially if you want to see the real Switzerland.

It is what it is...

It's an uncensored version of the show, but that doesn't say much for what it is. The show is pretty terrible in my own opinion, but it is exactly as promised. As per the WMVHD format, it played well on my computer (2.4GHz board, 64-bit AMD processor, 4 gigs RAM, 128-bit video card).

Produces good results

I am pleased with the results of this product. One jug produced a weight gain for me of 8 lbs. I didn't take it exactly like the directions indicate. I only used two scoops, but added two bananas and two full tablespoons of peanut butter mixed in milk. Used a blender to mix and refrigerated prior drinking. The taste is good. I didn't take it everyday either, but always drank it in addition to normal meals. The only draw back is the price.

Expect stomatch upset and a cloying, gritty sweetness

The positives: tastes like chocolate milk, has a lot of good quality calories.The negatives: powder does not dissolve well at all and stays clumped -- tends to float first (so top of liquid is full of powder and denser than at the bottom of the glass) and then sink so that you can't drink it all. Overly sweet. Causes a lot of intestinal gas.I've stopped drinking mine. This is for serious body builders with iron stomachs only.

No stars for this book

As a public librarian who is also in charge of ordering and circulating children's books, I was horrified when I previewed this book. I would never put this book on our library shelves. Even though perhaps the hidden point of the book is to decide who is the actual "beast" in the story, the point does not come across and the young reader stands a good chance of being traumatized by reading this book.

awful

In a book of maps wouldn't we expect to find one overview map and not all regional maps!? In addition, the Table of Contents absolutely does not correlate with pages in the book...eg: they direct us to page 180 for" temperatures", where there is a map of Pamplona and an alphabetical listing of towns in Spain starting with "P".

A good first digital camera

I spent a lot of time looking at reviews and comparing models before I bought this camera back in March. The picture quality is almost unparalleled in it's price range. It is fairly easy to learn,and it comes with a quality no frills photo editing software (Image Expert). Toshiba provides excellent customer support. I used it extensively for a Windows related problem (I ultimately found out the problem was with my computer not the camera/software).I strongly recommend getting NI-MH rechargeable batteries, alkaline batteries only last a few hours. An 8MB Smart Media card is ok to start with, but will only hold 7 high quality images.The only drawback I have found after 3 months of almost daily use, is the design of the camera. It is boxy and somewhat difficult to maneuver. It took me longer to get used to it than any other camera I have owned.Overall this camera is an excellent buy, and makes a good first time digital camera.

Unreliable

We purchased the first PDR-M25 on 5/16. It lasted for 31 days, and then it would not turn on. Toshiba exchanged it for another camera (same model). When the replacement came, it would NOT take a picture when it first came out of the box. Then it took a few pictures, and then seized up again and the shutter button would not work. Toshiba sent another camera, same model, and it lasted 61 days before it refused to focus properly and the flash got out of sync with the shutter. I am awaiting camera #4, as Toshiba refused to send my money back.

Great Starter with Pro features

This is my first digital camera.Toshiba did not dissapoint. Simple to operate, I got started immediately. Software is great and user friendly. I recommend upgrading the digital card to 128MB so you don't have to worry about taking the best quality photos and running out of disk space.

good low cost camera

I have owned this camera for about 3 months and I am very happy with it. It takes great shots and is easy to operate. The menu is easy to work through and covers everything. Using the max resolution, I have been able to print a 8x10 photo with good results. The only problem I have found is taking pictures in a low light situation. The camera has a difficult time focusing in the auto-focus mode. Overall for the price [$$$] at the local store I am very pleased.

This piece of junk died on me

Usually, I have good experiences with Toshiba's products. For example, I have a Toshiba DVD player that I am very happy with. However, this digital camera was a disappointment in almost every aspect. A minor gripe was the short battery life, but that's a very common problem with digital cameras in general. Major problem #1: This camera has a VERY hard time focusing in low-light situations. Unless you're in a brightly lit room or outside on a sunny day, your pictures stand a good chance of being out of focus. Major problem #2: I owned this camera less than six months when it refused to recognize the existence of batteries. I tried many different types of fresh batteries, but it says they're all dead. Now I have to look into getting warranty service. If I had it to do over, I would have invested a little more in a higher-quality camera (and a brand other than Toshiba). You really do get what you pay for when it comes to digital cameras.

don't bother

I am so relieved to see other bad reviews about this camera. This camera was given to me as a gift, but I have never liked it. The picture quality is awful and it is bulky and hard to handle. There are a few ways to get around some of the problems, but they too time consuming when you just want a camera to take a few great candid shots. Life is too short to use a poorly designed camera.It has nothing to do with knowing how to use a camera.All previous reviewers have said everything else that needs to be said.

PDR-M25

Camera broke after only 1 year of use. The zoom quit working. I agree about the poor indoor or low light photos. If the batteries were not new and the expensive kind it would not take good photos. I got a cannon wide zoom now and there is no comparison.

Waste of money

This was my first digital camera and I spent my hard earned money on it. Picture quality indoors was very poor, outside was ok. Downloads were easy and fast. Battery life was a joke,it would never be consistant on how long they would last a day or two weeks..I used rechargable ones from the start and had two kinds it never made a difference.Now after 6 mo the camera will not recognize the charged battery at all.I have tried every thing new batteries 3 kinds and still nothing . So basically I have a useless camera,tech support at Toshiba is worthless and no one will work on the camera around here..they tell me to throw it away and buy something other than Toshiba.Great! Well that finished me with ever buying a Toshiba product again and you can be sure I will tell EVERYONE I know, that they need to look elsewhere for a better company and product.

Worst camera and company on the planet

My camera was DOA upon arrival. It never worked from the minute that I opened the factory sealed box.Toshiba offered to fix it if I mailed it to their service center and waited 4-6 weeks for them to repair it. Yeah, right.My other option was to buy an identical camera from them and if I mail in this piece of junk they will give me a "discount" on my next purchase. I shouldn't have to PAY MONEY to get a camera replaced that never worked and is supposedly under warranty.The bottom line is that the product is a piece of junk that never worked. The fact that the repair department has a 4-6 week backlog proves that these cameras are junk.I will never buy any Toshiba product again in my life. I am very dissapointed with this camera and the way Toshiba treats their customers after the sale is downright insulting.

Trust me - Avoid all Toshiba products

I hate the fact that I have to write this negative review but do yourself a huge favor and buy anything but a Toshiba camera. I bought the PDR-M25 from Toshiba and it didn't work when I received the unit. The LCD display on the back didn't work and the unit was basically a factory defect.I contact Toshiba and they tell me that I have two (2) choices.#1) - Send the camera to a "repair facility" in Illinois and wait 4-6 weeks for the camera to be repaired and returned to me.#2) - I can "trade-in" my defective camera for another unit and since I'm trading-in the JUNK they sent me in the first place they are willing to give me a discount on the other camera.This is completely unacceptable. I have filed a written complaing against Toshiba with my states attorney generals office and I will never buy any product from Toshiba again.

Model PD3300 Digital Camera

I have owned serveral Toshiba products ie TV-VCR-DVD player; This is my first digital camera. This camera is the most aggrevating electronic piece of junk I have ever owned. I have called Toshiba service (a waste of time) switched to other S/D cards and batteries.The camera works when it wants to, quits when it wants to, and doesn't work most of the time. When my $3600.00 Cinama series TV had a problem they sent someone to fix it; a few hundred for one of their cameras wont even get you a return call if you have a question. I am now the proud owner of a Fuji S3100 (great camera)which I purchase from Amazon.com(which is a good company to deal with) the PD3300 sets on my desk as a paper weight and reminder to never buy something with the Toshiba name on it. I hope I saved you some grief and money. Sincerely [...]

Batteries eaten four at a time rapidly

It does everything it's supposed to do but all you'll do is change the batteries. Moreover the battery symbol on the camera goes from "full" to "empty" with no warning. Someone else said it but I'll repeat...a battery HOG.

I was so happy when this book was over. I'm a big fan of Connie Mason but this book was not one of her best reads it had potential but just didn't make it for me. I got so tired of the author mentioning belle's leg, okay we know it's "lame" as it was mention over and over again. Belle not trusting Casey was wearing me OUT. Get this one from a friend or the library.

Campy thriller

Michael Gough plays a zoo owner who uses his animals to kill anyone who threatens the future of his business. This is a pretty mediocre movie other than a couple of amusing scenes where Gough gets to address his lounging big cats as if they were humans listening to Shakespeare--otherwise this is slow moving and not very suspenseful.

Works great .... SOMETIMES.

This works so well when my husband opens it up shakes it and gives it back. Then 2 days later it skips steps again. I try to walk 10,000 - 12,000 steps a day. It is so frustrating to go on a long walk and find out zero steps were counted. This happens all of the time. I thought it was just a defective one so I went to Target and purchased another one. The new one worked well for 6 days and now I back to the same problem. I DO NOT suggest purchasing this peice of JUNK.

Another Bad Review

My husband and I each bought one of these pedometers from Target. Mine counted only every other step, before it stopped altogether. This was within a week of purchase. My husband somehow has managed to get 9000 steps while sitting most of the day at a desk. Go figure!

Overpriced and only for running

After participating in a program at the office that encouraged us to walk by giving us pedometers and record sheets, I was addicted and bought this one after the program was over. Bad choice. (It does have a reset button, far left - hold it down for 3 seconds. The instruction are inside the background card of the bubble packaging that has sketchy instructions on the back, I had to call the company to find this out) It only measures acuratly while running. The pendulum is heavy and not very responsive. I wore it side by side with the program pedometer and found it only measured 1/3 of the steps. It worked best when hooked to my bra but the unattractive bulge was not tolerable. Running, it was more accurate.If all this doesn't phase you, buy it at Walmart - Less then 1/2 the price even with tax, not counting the horrendous shipping charge (from this partner of amazon store, no super saver here) and you can return it easy.

Sportline quality dropping

Buyer beware on this item. I've been using these little Sportlines for about 5 years now with pretty good results. Good enough to justify the price. I recently bought two more to replace units I'd damaged or lost, or that simply quit working. Both new units were defective. The mechanical side failed on one - was frozen and would not move. The other unit counted about one step of every 5. The seller took them back with no problem, but save yourself some grief and buy a better unit. These are made in China now, and live up to China's reputation for producing low-quality goods with little or no quality control.

so-so

Owned (2) Sportline 345 Electric for nearly 12 years, but probably only used them a couple weeks in the beginning. Then lost interest. Put away in storage. Brought back out to use in 10,000 step Challenge at work. Besides the batteries needing replaced, which were not of a common size, one failed the second day after bringing out of storage. It might be due to wearing during 1 hour of volleyball. The other is still working after day 4. It too was used during volleyball.

Very good pedometer

I am really satisfied with this pedometer. It stays clipped on my belt really well (I had one of a different brand that fell off and broke), the display is large and easy to read at your waist, and all the functions are wonderful. I shopped around a little (ended up buying it at The Sports Authority for the same price as online), but I'm glad I ended up with this one. It's great to see how far I've travelled in the day.

Not accurate

I mounted the pedometer to my belt in front as indicated in the directions. It recorded 8800 steps for a 5.3 mile walk. The next day I did the exact same walk, this time mouting the pedometer to my ankle. It recorded 12500 steps. The next day was raining so I walked for 2 hours at the mall with the pedometer mounted on the ankle and recorded 9000 steps. I returned home and it stopped raining. I decided to walk outside my usual route. I walked approximately 3 miles. The pedometer recorded and additional 1000 steps.

Choose another

This pedometer has many useful features. It is easy to read and to change modes, and it gives steps (according to stride), counts calories, measures distance, and is comfortable to wear. However, it just doesn't work. Three days of walking the same route at the same speed gave widely varying numbers of steps; once, it even reset to zero during my walk (the buttons are enclosed in a case, so I did not inadvertently reset it). It is difficult to open and extemely difficult to change the battery (which I tried, thinking the battery might be the problem -- it wasn't). Within the past 3 weeks, I have bought two Sportline 345s and two other Sportline models. They are all in the trash, and I'm looking for another brand.

Just doesn't work!

This pedometer seemed to have all of the features I wanted but that isn't important if it won't do what it is suppose to do. It does not register your steps. Most of the time it just stays on a number. Save your money and look else where for a better pedometer.

one star above support staff

This product is unreliable: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I thought walking was supposed to be fun. Not only was the battery difficult to change, but the directions on both the packaging and their OLD website listed the wrong size battery. They have no contact number, toll-free or not, and they still haven't answered my e-mail as of a few weeks ago.I finally saw the correction for battery size on their new website, and that was a bit tricky to access( you need to be lucky to get there twice).With all the schmoozing about Walking Across America etc., a little customer service would go a lot further..Maybe they vacation during the summers when everyone is out using their product. Never Again!

This Book Changed My Life

This book convinced me of the importance of recognizing one's gifts -- and just as importantly, owning up to them, instead of dismissing them with false notions of modesty -- and then finding the best way of giving those gifts back to God and the community. I realized that gifts and talents left undeveloped and unexpressed lead to frustration and unhappiness; and that pursuing the development of one's gifts is holy work. That may sound self-absorbed, but it's actually the opposite; it's a matter of opening oneself up to allow God to work through your life. This book is out of print, so whenever I see a copy at a used bookstore I buy one and pass it along. Let this book change your life, too!

Concerned about potency after shipping

"Culturelle must not exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit." That's on the box. The box guarantees potency only if those instructions are followed.We all know trucks can get hot inside. So I've tried to get this product shipped to me in cold pack. Several vendors have refused, saying, "we ship it in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations."So I called the manufacturer. They said it was safe to ship by ordinary means. But how do they know? When I asked for written proof, they had none. Then I learned that they had acquired this product, and the original manufacturer used to ship it in cold pack. So I am concerned.After shipping, does the guarantee of potency on the box mean anything? How would I know if this product were heat damaged? Is it going on a reputation that it no longer lives up to?

Very Dissapointed with the CD

I purchased the book a week ago, with the intention of sharpening my math skills via the 4 sample tests provided on the CD-Rom. I have now taken 3 of the 4 math tests and have found over half a dozen errors, such as problems that are missing the correct answer, repeat answers, and answers that the computer thinks are right but are actually wrong. When I plop down $20+ I expect something that has been carefully edited and free of mistakes. The book might be great, I haven't had time to look through it, but the CD is very dissapointing. To do over again I would buy a good ACT book, minus the crudy CD, for half the price. Once I find the receipt I am going to get my money back.

Has everything I need in one bottle.

My dr. recommended this supplement for me 3 yrs ago for when I was sick with possibly CFS. I had to quit my job due to extreme fatigue among other problems. It seemed to help me along with other supplements I was taking to get better. I tried to find other supplements like this one, but couldn't find one that had everything this supplement had, so I came back to this one. I don't 'do' powders or liquids so that's why I chose the capsules. Although it is expensive, you can find it cheaper if you look around on Amazon.
