Yummy
|
I LOVE these. It didn't take long to go through the entire box. My son loves them too. These were, by far, our favorite. We also tried the raspberry chocolate (still really good) and the raisin chocolate (ok, but couldn't taste any raisin). I am here to buy more of these and try more flavors. If you are looking for raw bars, or just some healthy snacks, don't look any further. One more note, before going raw, I was a chocoholic, I thought for sure that I wouldn't like the one I got that didn't have chocolate, but I love it!!

not so great. try larabars!
|
i don't know how you can mess up coconut and chocolate, but they did. for the amount of fat and calories in these babies, they should taste a lot better. if you're really looking for delicious raw food bars, i prefer 'larabars.'

Chocolate and Hazelnut
|
This is the most awesome bar I've had! Chocolate and hazelnut - those two words say it all - they don't need more explanation as to how good this combination is. Heavenly. Yes, that's how good it is.This bar is vegan, natural, raw, healthy, and all those other good things.How can something so healthy taste so good?

I bought 3 "flavors" of these bars, but I can't tell them apart - they all just taste like dates. It's pretty bad when you can't tell spirulina from coconut!

They sent the wrong bars, and they were expired.... NICE!!!
|
I don't see any way to contact the shipper... So I have to say it in a review. They sent the Chocolate and Coconut bars which are NOT the Coconut Bliss Bars and they expired January 9th 2013... they were shipped out on January 28th 2013. Just be aware... I opened the box right away and threw it out, and ate a couple of bars before I realized it they were old. I have not gotten sick, but they don't taste good... plus they are not the right bars.

Not that good
|
This bar was a let down in comparison to the Chocolate Raspberry version. I would not buy again. Densly packed with calories (300), 18g fat (6g saturated), 28g carbs (18g sugar), and bland. I would rather spend my calories elsewhere. It has a weird aftertaste, too.

Too oily
|
I love coconut, but these bars are so oily they kinda feel gross when trying to eat them...they left oil on my lips. Taste..was a little bland but not bad once you get over the really greasy feel of them.Unfortunetly I wont buy them again..and will keep looking for a coconut one that is less oily, the larabar one was good..but I am having a hard time finding them again..the coconut cream pie ones.

Coconut - Too darn fatty and greasy
|
I have found the coconut to be too greasy. Coconut naturally has a high fat content but this bar is too greasy. I'm going to try to keep 'em in the fridge but I doubt it will be that great. I'm going to try to give them away to my friends, so in the end I recommend not buying this flavor.

misleading
|
the review is about the 'hazelnut chocolate' bar. as you know, ingredients are always listed in order of how much.now check this, from the label:"Cashews, organic agave nectar, organic sunflower seed kernels, dates, cocoa processed with alkali, hazelnuts, almonds sprouted flax seed."you can now see how much hazelnut is really in there: very little! but they splash 'hazelnut' on the label.

alkali
|
I have been a raw foodist for a few months now. I rather liked the taste of these bars, and I applaud the company for making nutritious food so convenient.However, I was disappointed that the cocoa is processed with alkali. This processing destroys most of the flavonols, which is what all the health studies that are based on raw cocoa rave about. If they used real quality beans that didn't need this processing, I would give this product 5 stars.

DISGUSTING!!
|
Wow! I did not know that someone could make a business selling food that tastes so bad! No wonder these are called Raw Revolution... they taste revolting!!It seriously blows my mind that someone could make a food with chocolate and coconut that tastes so awful. The first taste is poor, at best. The mouth feel is grainy. And the aftertaste... wow thats nasty.I ordered these b\c they were on sale and I wanted to try organic raw food. Good thing that was a cheap lesson. Learn from my mistake. DONT BUY THIS!

I was expecting something that would taste good and have a good texture. Wrong on both accounts. My family hated them too. (didn't try it on the dog, though). Very disappointing. I'll stay with promax, cliff bars and power bars.

Great Product!

This stuff is great. When I was younger I used it to clean and polish my aluminum alloy racing rims, now I use it to clean my chrome pipes on my motorcycle.Great stuff, it works, and it's not overpriced like a lot of the "specialty cleaners."I recently spent almost $20 on chrome cleaning supplies for my exhaust pipes on my '99 ACE, and afterwards still found myself resorting back to Never-Dull. Live and learn right.

Pretty New Age Gem

A lot of times when you buy cheap cds at used music stores you wind up with garbage so this cd is a pleasant surprise.Each track is named after a color and I'm not exactly sure how the music is supposed to reprasent each color but I do know the music is soothing new age goodness that washes over you.If you're a fan of Vangelis or looking for some pretty music this won't disappoint.Music performed by a group of talented German musicians you've never heard of before contributing to this very nice discovery.

I got about half way threw this book and pitched it in the trash. The heroine has absolutly no back bone at all! She just does everything she is told to do even though it is compleatly unfair and well... mundane! I could get more action at the farmers market! I felt no chemistry at all between her and the main love intrest. On a good note the author seems to have a wonderful grasp on basic wrighting. The wrighting is fluent and descriptive.

I bought this ring as it was nice and affordable. When it arrived, I was very pleased with the ring as it was exactly as described. I have now been wearing this ring for six months and it still has a great sparkle to it and has held up very well...I am a very active horse rider, so the ring has taken quite a beating, but it still looks as good as they day I bought it.

I bought the white gold version and it was beautiful the first time I saw it. It's a very simple yet elegant design, not too flashy, but the flashy is there. If you're girl doesn't want the flashy bling bling and only wants a simple yet classic design, then this is perfect for her. Also shipped in it's own box so I didn't have to order another box.

Picky! Picky!
|
This is the Bible of the picky stuff for French. This is an older edition, but it is still invaluable for the serious student of the language. It has exhaustive analysis of grammar to the point of polemic, but it really is the final word on many topics. I'd recommend the newest edition you can get, if you can stomach the price tag, since language does continue to evolve.

One of the Un-funniest books ever published
|
Perhaps the concept is a bit thin to begin with--essentially, a book of unconnected jokes on pop culture from the fifties to the nineties. The humor here is barely college newspaper level, from cbeap wordplay ("Cabbage Patch Adults!") to just plain obvious ... Sending up pop-culture is a national pastime. You have to do a little better than this to warrant putting out a book.

Talk about a one-joke idea . . .
|
"Rough Draft" is amusing for the first page or two, but it quickly becomes stale and repetitive. It's basically one joke repeated over and over and over. It reads as if the writers made a list of pop culture icons, shouted them out at each other, and then shouted out the first incongruous ideas that popped into their heads ("Mister Rogers!" -- "Tank top!") Very few of the ideas are clever, witty, or chuckle-inducing.

Disappointed
|
There was some hype about this book - it made it to a few 'Great New Books' Lists, so I was eager to read it. I haven't been able to finish it and have abandoned it for more interesting (captivating) works. The short stories are adequately written and could actually have been something if there was ever a purpose to the writing. They leave you scratching your head and saying, "so, where's the end - what's the point?" It did not hold my attention, I was not engaged by it, which is why it was shelved before finishing in favor of something else.

Excellent Fantasy Trip
|
"The blue, peaceful death...." from these opening words, I find myself transported to another place, another time. Another WORLD!I do agree that there is some lacking characterization at the beginning. However, the plot itself is compelling enough to keep the reader interested. By the end of the story, the characters have been beautifully painted through their actions as much as their descriptions.Like the old saying goes "Anything worth having is worth waiting for."Or perhaps "Good things come to those who wait."Whichever you prefer, you'll likely enjoy the journey into this young author's imagination.Fantasy is not something I'm usually interested in. For a writer to keep me glued to my seat is quite an accomplishment. Oliverez has accomplished that. I can't wait to read more from this talented, imaginative young writer.

It's OK
|
I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy and while the book was interesting, it didn't grab my attention. I found the plot a bit weak and the characters lacked dimension. I have read some of the author's short stories on his myspace and I enjoyed those a lot so I expected more from his novel. But he has talent and if he writes a second novel I will probably read it as well.

Not what I was expecting
|
Reading this book was a delight. Picked this up on a whim because it is a new author, I am impressed with the raw talent that he has for telling a story. Personally I enjoyed a change of pace from the normal Dungeons and Dragons fantasy setting that most of the genre is stuck in. The world and society shown in this book is well thought out and has some real depth put into it. If I had to compare this book to another author's work it would be Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun, while not quite the complete story yet I think that the two go nicely together. If you liked The Book of the New Sun you should definately check this out. I look forward to reading more of Steven Oliverez' work.

Elder Staves- A must read for all
|
Elder Staves is a "must read" book. I couldn't put it down.It was one of those books I could see playing out like TV in my imagination. As the reader continues to read, the more involved the reader becomes in the action of saving the staves.Very well written: descriptive, colorful, creative, and suspenseful! I felt like there was a little bit of everything in it for both male and female readers. I think it would make a good movie!

This book is for anyone who is a golfer or anyone you know who is a golfer. Chuck Hogan makes learning golf easy, the way it should be, and fun. After reading the book I broke 80 for the first time.

A valuable introduction to an important field of scholarship
|
For decades, scholars failed to recognize the close relationship between religion and politics in Africa. Now that an increasing number of academics have become aware of just how closely these two forces are intertwined, it is good to see that Haynes has provided a suitable introduction to the topic. The topic is a daunting one. Haynes addresses a variety of religious systems across the continent with commendable historical depth. Regional and thematic specialists will no doubt find quibbles with some of his generalizations, but Haynes deserves credit for creating a readable and comprehensive overview of key issues and topics.

I recently completed the CBEST exam, and found this book to be better organized, more concise, and more representative of the actual CBEST exam than "The Best Test Preparation for the CBEST" by REA.

CBEST by Learning Express
|
Overall the book was pretty good. The Reading section was almost identical to the actual test, EXCEPT for the poetry. The test did not include any poetry. The math section was close to the test EXCEPT the test did not test on definitions like "whole number", "integer" etc... If you can do well on the practice exams, you will pass the test for sure. One thing that the book failed to note is that TIME is the most crucial of all. Nearly everyone stayed right up until the end of the four hours and some did not finish.

Good book, but a little wordy
|
I took the CBEST on February 9, 2002. It was SO EASY compared to the tests in this book. The math was harder in the book than on the real test. The reading comprehension was about equal. The essay section gave good pointers. I only had about a month to study and this book helped me cram. But parts of it seemed like they over explained.All in all, I would recommend this book because I did feel over prepared going into the test. I would rather know too much than too little!

This book isn't accurate to the test. The math is much harder in this book than it was on my test. This book made me very nervous about my test and was not very helpful. The CD-ROM included is also disappointing and more of a bother than a help. Get a different CBEST book.

This book was good preparation
|
This book completely prepared me for the CBEST.The reading comprehension section and the essay sectionwere completely accurate in comparision to the actual test.However, having just taken the exam, the math in the book is actuallya little harder. The book did make me nervous in that way - I foundthe math pretty hard and expected the exam to be the same. However,I am glad the math was harder than the actual test because it really prepared me. Not only that, it prepares you for the even HARDER math that is on the CSET, the next exam you must take to become a teacher in CA. Overall, a very good book.

An insult to B movie fan's
|
To call this a movie is being way to generous and an insult to even the biggest B movie fan. It comes across as a bunch bored kids want to make their own slasher flick while Mom and Dad are away for the weekend.(Now for the film)It starts with a bunch of bored pretentious kids (20 year olds) welcoming a new member to their group, they start telling about their deepest fears, then one says to everyone leave for an hour so I can set up a skit for us to play. They return and granny (Rubber mask slasher) starts killing. The so called director of this (Made over the weekend home movie) tries to put an obvious twist at the end and of course there is another obvious twist to the twist.If you pay even a dime on this film you have paid way too much.

Overview of Healing with Sounds with Practical Instructions

The first part of the book provides an overview of toning and harmonics as practiced, mainly for the purposes of healing, in different cultures: Mayans, Native American Shamans, among Tibetan Monks; as well as use in different esoteric traditions - e.g. Kabbalah, Sufi chanting, Gregorian chanting, etc.This is followed by an entire section on balancing chakras with sound and suggestions for your own experiments with toning.

Pernicious nonsense: bad science and bad music.
|
I am a musician and acoustician with decades of research in overtones and harmonic structure. My response to "Healing Sounds" is a bit like Will Rogers' remarks about President Herbert Hoover: "It ain't what he don't know that bothers me -- it's what he knows for sure...that just ain't so." Goldman knows a lot of stuff that just ain't so, and his faulty grasp of science in general and acoustics in particular makes this a regular cavalcade of foolish claims based on inadequate research and an inadequate concept of rigor. Wishful thinking, alas, never translates as science.

Worst in the Series
|
If you loved the first five movies of this series, you'll be disappointed with this one. It is awful. The action sequences are nothing like, or comparable with those in the other movies. If Itto Ogami used his sword a bit more rather than the guns in the baby cart, with unlimited ammunition no less, this would be a better film. Also, the story is very disjointed and extremely hard to follow, unlike the previous Lone Wolf and Cub movies. Very disappointed with this.

Well I have been a fan of this series for many years and have watched each episode over and over again.....except this one. After watching this episode for the first time I felt like the producers of the show were busy watching "Shaft" or something in that genre to come up with the downhill skiing scene, not to mention the horrible 70's film overtones throughout the episode already. C'mon, any fan of LW&C would feel sick to their stomache when viewing this episode knowing it was the last. But on a good note, buy it to complete your series hehe, it will look good on your shelf.

Cord Pulled out, had to tape it up!
|
I ordered this AC Adapter for my Toshiba Qosmio Computer, since the cord had been damaged on our original adapter. The product works fine and is still working fine. However, the cord running from the box to the wall was not attached properly or maybe the material covering the cord is not flexible enough, for the covering pulled back, exposing the wires inside on both ends of the cord: where it attaches to the box and where the plug attaches to the cord. We have taped it up finally, after using it for a long time with the wires showing. But it works fine. Just looks bad now! I didn't think it worth the effort to send it back, as it works.

now what?
|
I was raised in a Lutheran church & school but now work at a non-denominational church. This very good book forced me to ask questions not only about my personal beliefs, but about the state of the Lutheran church today. No doubt this book will be hailed as genius by Lutheran's everywhere as Veith does a very good job at pointing out that Lutherans have it theologically right. Even after going to hear Veith speak I found myself amused at the notion that here was another Lutheran being 'right' talking to a bunch of other Lutherans about how right they were. I actualy agree with almost everything he says. My question for him is 'ok, now what?' Cause if all we're going to do is go to a potluck afterwards and sit around patting each other on the back about how 'right' we are, are we really living out the great commission? That being said, his chapter on vocation is phenomenal. All Christians should read this book.

Racket for all levels !
|
Design and comfort : 8/10The racket has three layer plywood, and power and feel is there. Handle is comfortable. The racket has a more round and wider surface comparing to traditional Japanese Pen style tacket. It makes it easy to hit in the central racket. Overall weight is very light, around 81 grams.Strokes and control: 9/10Butterfly rubber defintely makes a difference even on this low price racket. The rubber is very soft and makes ball pocketing so much easier. With more ball pocketing, it makes spin easy, more time to control, and ball feel is there. I tend to swing very fast, and other rackets dont have this soft rubber to have more spin. With the extra spin, any fast swing ball can be kept in. Great for all levels, even for fast swing tennis players.

appallingly gushing and fawning
|
I confess that I only read two chapters of this book before I decided that it was all that I could take.Yes, Princeton's IAS was a place where extremely talented scientists congregated. All the same, what I read of this book was almost pathetic in the degree that the author doesn't as much describe the scientists there as people, as make them out to be a variety of superheros who must be described in adulatory, even groveling terms, an insult to their memories. Nor did I learn anything new - either in terms of science or biography - from the chapters I read; even worse, it was clear to me which books some, if not many, of the passages came from.I wouldn't recommend this book.

Lots of good stuff in this one. The Quality isn't that great but just as the other writer said, its watchable. This version doesn't look like its from a VHS like so many other ones.

Now Make it a Play!
|
This is a 1996 studio cast recording from the most hyped show that never opened on Broadway. Never opened because of terrible previews, a bad book, and a poor choice of MTM as the lead. After listening to the outstanding tunes on this 2-CD set, it is clear that a singer with a strong stage voice could have made the show a hit. Too bad Faith Prince was only ten at the time! The material is incredible, with tunes that rival the best from any musical. I highly recommend this disc, and only wish that the show could be finally put on stage!!!

A few decent songs

This CD set is collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. I listened to it twice. I'm glad it was recorded.

Great book!
|
This is a great book. My 5-yr-old loves it! She is reading it pretty well. Dr. Seuss is just so creative. Definitely recommended!

Not so hot.
|
This book is disappointing, it is hard to pinpoint but somehow this book defeats itself in its attempt to encourage reading. Maybe in the part about red hot eyebrows or later but whatever the case I would read this thoroughly before buying.

Reading is a Sport
|
The Cat in the Hat is a talented reader. He can read with his eyes shut and in pickle color too, can you? It might be fun to try! You will be amazed at his impressive reading skills. Who knows, you may even be inclined to attempt some of his eyebrow-raising feats for yourself!

You can't draw with your eyes shut
|
I hate to give Dr. Seuss, a true genius, a bad review -- but to anyone who loves the great, classic Seuss books, finding this one is a shocker. The artwork is just atrocious--murky, scratchy, unexpressive. In the short biographies of Ted Geisel that I've found online, I haven't seen any reference to a stroke that he may have suffered around this time; is it possible that he actually tried, as an experiment, to draw this book with his eyes shut? In any case, his earlier work is beautiful, and his later work is nicely drawn too, despite a little shakiness. I don't know what happened this time. As for the words, they're all right -- and little kids who haven't developed their aesthetic sense will enjoy this book just fine. Still, I think it would have been kinder of the publisher to let this particular Seuss go out of print.

Anybody can read, even a 5-year old, with Dr. Seuss.
|
I am a five year old. I can read in red. I can read in blue. I can read in pickle color too. This book makes me happy because it is not very hard and I am learning to read. The drawings are good. I can read in purple and brown, too. I can read even upside down. My name is Claire La Fleur and I am a kindergardener. I loves cats.

soo much fun
|
I love this book, I read it to my 2 1/2 year old and he loves it too, it's silly/funny and it will be useful for many years to come. My 2 1/2 year old is too young to understand the true meaning of the book but there's tons of new words he learns from it not to mention the colorful pictures of the cat in the hat. Huge success with my son.

very retro/classic feel
|
ive been a Hypocrisy fan for years and i just got this DVD last night and i really like it. id hesitated to buy it before because it doesnt have tracks from their 6 most recent albums and its an older DVD so i assumed the picture and sound quality would be low, but this is not the case. although it does have a very retro feel. its in 4:3, an almost VHS picture quality but the sound is great. especially at high volumes. the lighting and editing are also very well done. its a festival show at night which looks pretty cool. and if youve ever seen Hypocrisy live you know its an awesome, energetic show. the only problem is that its dated. it only has songs from The Final Chapter and all previous albums. there are the standard bonus videos and other features. if you're a fan of the early Hypocrisy stuff i really recommend this DVD. talented talented musicians. pick it up if you find it somewhere. its worth it.check out the live DVD that comes with the 2005 album 'Virus'

Essential Noir
|
Tyrone Power gave his finest screen performance as slimy con artist Stanton Carlisle in "Nightmare Alley" (1947) - a grim departure from the usual Hollywood product. Director Edmund Goulding and cinematographer Lee Garmes transform William Lindsay Gresham's novel into a noir freak show that reeks of sleazy carnival atmosphere. Power's cynical portrayal is matched by Joan Blondell's world-weary soothsayer and Helen Walker's ruthless psychologist. Despite the regrettable Hays Office censorship, "Nightmare Alley" packs a vital punch. Kudos to Power, Goulding and producer George Jessel for working outside the mainstream on this remarkably daring venture.

I love old Jean Arthur films ...madcap comedies...love suspense Film Noir..like Vl and Al..many films.. dark 40's 50's films I can watch and enjoy...Nightmare Alley is different...I was completely caught off guard by the intense characters who fill this film...driven,blinders on...moving into a life where they know not...words fail to convey the mood..no not the mood,the lifeblood of this movie...people doing whatever it takes to get what they want...

Booze throws him down the slippery slope
|
I love this movie as an adult. Tyrone Power always delivered strong performances and he was exactly what a Hollywood actor should be and was part of the reason that the old movies was a great movie environment to grow up in when the Seventies and Eighties in America were so stylistically appalling. The movie is dishy, way better than watching an episode of Intervention.

Emotionally gripping drama
|
A young man working with the carnival crew is looking for a way to become an entertainer. Surrounded by professionals skilled with magic acts, reading people's emotional needs and fine art of acting, he finds his way to become tutored in a fine con act. Soon afterwards he ditches his teacher in order to marry young carneval girl who will serve as his assistant during his performance shows in Chicago. As his ambition grows stronger and stronger, he atarts to move on from show business acts to con acts where his targets are vulnerable members of Chicago's high society. He does not realize that his partner in crime is conning him too before it is too late.This is a morality tale of a man who grew up orphan and who wanted to reach his. But he aimed too hight and fell down as fast as he went up. Seeing his life as a full circle where he ends up like a person he once pitied himself is a true work of art by creators of this fine work.

Great Ambiance & Acting = Superior Noir
|
I've been collecting noir DVDs for some time and this is a new one for me. It is just great. The "old-time" seedy carnival/sideshow feel is mesmerizing, the photography will put you in a trance and I never thought much of Tyrone Power but he is fantastic in this; I forgot he was a "bigtime actor" because he WAS the character. DVD quality for an old movie is top notch. Unusual for a noir too because there are no gangsters and I don't remember seeing a gun-- it's pure noir without the gangster baggage. If you have the mildest interest in noir you will love this.

A Really Creepy Film
|
This is one of the darkest, most depressing and creepy films I have ever seen. After watching this, I almost wanted to take the dvd outside my house and set it on fire.However, it does seem to support very well the old (and true) saying that "Booze is the Nuclear Weapon of the Devil"The characters portrayed in this movie are in serious need of Christ's Salvation

One of the best of the film noir genre
|
I saw a lot of movies from this era (the '40s and '50s) when I was a kid, but somehow I missed this one. I bought it after reading a very favorable review at the Internet Movie Database. The reviewer was right: this is a strange and powerful film. Tyrone Power's performance is unlike anything else he ever did. I recommend watching "Nightmare Alley" and then buying or renting "The Razor's Edge," which has Power in a very different role. Both are great movies.

Very disappointing DVD....Good film, terrible quality
|
NIGHTMARE ALLEY is a neat and memorable film noir. One of Tyrone Power's most interesting performances. Unfortunately, it arrives on DVD in a fairly battered and grainy transfer that doesn't bode well for future Fox film noir releases. What a shame.Fox sat on their noirs for so long. Licensed some key titles out to other companies because they didn't care. I guess they woke up and smelled the coffee after Warner Bros. stellar Film Noir boxed set (of which another is heading our way in but a few weeks), but to release NIGHTMARE ALLEY in such shabby condition really insults the film and those who love it.Fox: Take a cue from Warner Bros. and Paramount (the two studios that do the best transfers) and get a better handle on your mastering.I'm really sorry I bought this. It's no better than what I recorded off the air.

Always saves me on the road
|
I am a traveler. Being a vegetarian on the road can be difficult. The choices are somewhat limited to greasy hamburgers. However, the Tofu Tollbooth really saves me. Elizabeth Zipern and Dar Williams have compiled quite a listing of vegetarian friendly establishments. Sure, most of these places are not interstate-side drive-ins (many listings are of co-ops and natural food stores), but finding a local co-op can be a fun and educational side trip. The places that Zipern and Williams list give the traveler a taste of the local culture as well. The only fault that I can find in this book is that I wish the directions were a bit clearer. Sometimes I find myself following the directions and getting off the highway only to drive many more miles than I had expected. I wish that information such as distence from the highway had been included. But besides that minor drawback, the Tofu Tollbooth is a must for any vegetarian on the road!

Out of date

It's a great idea, but I'm disappointed with this book. Half of the stores I attempted to visit during a recent trip through the Northwest were no longer in business or had moved.

This book is interesting to read because you get to see Madonna's commentary on many subjects. She's one of those people that you're never quite sure if she means what she says or if she's just trying to cause a commotion with her words, and in that sense reading Madonna in her own words was an interesting time.

Not quite 5 ****
|
Well, I rec'd this book and began reading. I didn't realize the entire book was quotes from the actress herself, which don't get me wrong, being the strong Madonna fan that I am, is great; however I was expecting a little more I think. The pictures are good, but not some of the best pics I've seen her in. So, the pics could have been better and a little more words, maybe not from the actress herself, A nice collector's piece I guess.

Small sword

It is small so if you are looking for a full size sword this is not for you. I wanted a small authentic looking civil war sword at a reasonable price that would not rust and this fits the bill.

This was advertised as a sword, but is actually a full-on sword. It was heavy and sharp and did not come with any way of holding it around your waist (I wanted to use it as a costume piece)

Yuck

Bought several asian swords and very happy but this sword was cheaply built and has a plastic handle that arrived broken out of the box. It has cheap parts and is painted with that fake looking gold spray like you see on plastic toys. A few people told me it looked like just that; a toy. It reminded me something you would see in a play like a cheap prop or something of the sort. Id stay away from this one.

Affordable mid-range mic
|
By mid-range I mean the levels. This mic is very middle of the line. If you need the highs or you need the lows it picks up a good flat level in vocals. I haven't tried out any studio microphones other than this one but I was very impressed when going from a low price stage mic to this for my recording. If you really don't want to spend the money for one of the high end models but you still want a great mic this is the way to go for studio recording. I can't say anything bad about it. I got mine with a carrying case, a shock mount and it looks nicer than most studio mics. Overall great mic for any type of vocal recording.
