1	Nice Item!	I purchased this ring for myself for Valentine's Day. I really love the way it looks on my hand. The craftsmanship is quite nice, though the prongs tend to get caught in my clothes. I don't care, though, because it is just beautiful and well worth the price.	positive
0	WAS THIS BOOK SENT?	i DON'T REMEMBER RECEIVING THIS BOOK. PLEASE CONFIORM THE DETAILS OF MY PURCHASE. WHERE IS IT. WHERE IS IT? PLEASE	negative
0	DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!	I'm sure that Edward Whymper was a fine man and author and The Ascent of the Matterhorn is a good book, but this particular edition of it is not readable. It is extremely heavily laden with typoes, rendering it difficult to read.	negative
0	Be careful 1 doll not 2	Picture misleading. The package contains in reality only 1 dollPoor quality, as you can expect from this kind of merchandise	negative
0	Don't Buy	This saw has a generic spark plug that is only good for one limited use. Plugs can only be found at company and are of high cost. Don't buy this one.	negative
0	MAC USERS BEWARE!	WARNING: This is NOT a postcript printer -- which means if you use any graphics based program (Quark, InDesign, Illustrator, etc) you wil have to buy separate, VERY EXPENSIVE postscript software. After an eternal quest to find a good quality printer that is postscript compatible, I finally purchased the HP B9180. The print quality and colors are amazing, but this printer sucks up ink like a sponge. HP... please make another printer with built-in postcript for us designers!!!	negative
0	In 25 years this is the worst printer I've ever used	If you like spending 3 hours ever couple of days clearing phantom errors this is the printer for you. I would have rate it zero stars but Amazon requires at least one star to post a review.	negative
0	Great, but unfixable problems after one year.	I do like this printer - really great inks. Did a lot of research on printers before getting this one about 2 years ago. However, after having problems with ink splotches on the sides of my prints, and after realizing that it started guzzling enormous amounts of ink during its routine cycling, I did a little more research. I read online at Duncan Davidson's site that he's been having the same problems. http://duncandavidson.com/2008/08/two-big-hp-b9180-problems.html, which leads me to believe my problem wasn't a one-off. After a few weeks of replacing inks, and without printing, I'm finding that the printer has been using up all the ink doing its maintenance cycles. HP recommends leaving this printer on all the time, and turning it off doesn't solve the blotches on the edges of prints due to the printheads hitting the edges of paper. I'm hoping they fix this problem because initially i loved the printer.	negative
0	A path of problems....	This is my second B9180 and even though I bought the extended warranty it'll be my last. When I resolve one issue (printerhead cleaning, printerhead replacement, new ink, updated driver) another problem comes up (paper jam, paper not recognized, endless cycling). Because I am not retired, or wealthy, I do not have the time to babysit this machine. Nice prints though.	negative
0	VISTA Compatibility Warning	Please note that this printer will not work as advertised with VISTA. HP customer support has informed me that the printer does not support 13x19 printing with VISTA. I learned this after troubleshooting and wasting major amounts of ink and costly paper. In this large size, prints only contain part of the image. I purchased this printer because HPs website advertises this printer as "certified for VISTA" and capable of borderless prints at 13x19. It amazes me that HP continues to falsely advertise their product. Be warned of this issue and HPs decision to continue to falsely advertise.	negative
0	Great Printer, HORRIBLE SERVICE	I purchased this printer about 9 months ago and have used it for photo printing. The print quality is good IF AND ONLY IF you can get the right paper profiles. Make sure your favorite papers are supported by this HP product.After just 9 months, I had a problem with the paper sensor. It no longer prints and just drags paper until it eventually jams. I have been working with HP for over 1 month to get a replacement printer. I've submitted the requested paperwork 3 times, but to no avail. Each call results in at least 3 transfers to different departments, nobody able to get this resolved.I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HP PRODUCT!!I have been in the computer software industry for over 20 years and have never experienced such poor customer service. Shame on HP.	negative
0	HP Photosmart B-9180	I am on my third replacement printer in less that a year. Each time the unit worked for a week and then wouldn't function at all due to a hardware failure. Customer service is friendly and quick to answer but not at all helpful. I replaced all the ink cartridges and the Magenta was "out of ink" after less that 15 letter size prints. I would not recommend this printer.	negative
0	Paper jam error after a year and already a replacement within warranty	Experienced all the above. service: average, repair cost: of the roof. courtesy: none at all. really too bad, because it seemed to have it all, straight paper throughput, color calibration, networking, only slightly annoying software for mac osx (ink replacement warnings over and over again until you really have to replace the cartridge two month later.) Option to skip the installation of extra software (not having to install 500mb of futile software is a first for hp in my experience).I think the paper detection is optical and gets misted after a while of printing and thats causing THE "paper jam error" after which you are left with a printer which can print 1,5 to 3 cm high pictures perfectly before giving THE "message" Getting to this sensor is nearly impossible.	negative
1	Incredible	This is the best printer I have ever owned. I still use a lower tech printer for simple text based routine stuff, but when I need to tweak things and send friends photos, the HP B9180 is incredible with respect to what it produces. I'm not a professional, but for my purposes, this printer meets pro requirements.	positive
0	the worst	this printer is hands down the most expensive to buy and maintain.. worse than my wife. complains no ink; needs service..getting ready for new ink wants more ink..you get it. photos are good quality but you average 50 cents a photo and 10 dollars in aggravation.today all support and products seem to be junk. years ago you bought something used it for years and you may even pass it on to someone else..today products are garbage no mater what you pay..that's my 2 cents...HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer	negative
0	Awfull, HP should be ashamed.	I replaced a CP 1700 that had been stolen with this printer. Four letter words; there are not enough of them to describe this incredable piece of junk. DO NOT BUY IT!Recently, a replace cart message appeared. I spent $115 for 3 new carts. I installed them and then immeadiately got a message to replace two of the printheads. I did so at an additional cost of $135. On turning on the printer got the same replace printhead message. I contacted HP on line help and was told there was nothing they would do, not could do buit would do, because the printer was out of warrenty. So another $250 down the drain and this piece of junk still won't work. Hello Epson goodby HP!	negative
0	Never again...	I'm now on the fourth of these printers, the first three being returned to and replaced by HP due to various failures. This fourth one has latest for a couple of years, and now it has died too despite only light, periodic use. Now I'm stuck with a couple hundred dollars of cartridges, etc., for this over-sized doorstop. I'll try to sell them off on Craigslist. I currently have seven HP printers, and swear never to buy another. The only bright spot is that, as quickly as HP printers die, I'll soon be rid of them. Epson here I come.	negative
0	Dont buy you have been warned	Makes great prints when its working, but guzzles expensive ink, and has a known defect with the paper sensor, which fails after a little over a year and renders the printer a boat anchor - if you don't believe me google "hp b9180 paper jam error", or "b9180 problems",,,,HP customer service is useless,,,,,Buy this at your own risk.	negative
0	Do Not Buy	I bought a HP B9180 just over 1 year ago (17 days over a year). Now I am told unless I pay for Tech Support, HP will not help me with a common error on there B9180, $600.00 plus printer. You can go on the internet a see for your self "Service Stall Press OK to continue" or to HP web site and read reviews. This error message stops the printer from working or doing anything. I have printed about 25 pictures and now this printer is a piece of junk.	negative
1	Excellent Printer	This is an excellent printer. One review stated that you can only use "Advanced" paper in this printer...not so. If you want to use different papers you must "tell" the printer what type of paper you are using. It's easy to do from the printer properties menu. When you click "print", then click "printer properties" and several options open up to select all sort of things, type of paper, size, borderless or whatever. It's given me super results on many papers!!	positive
0	Stay away from this ink vacuum	I bought this printer because the Vivera ink had good reviews for being archival. This printer needs to be left on, according to HP support, in order to keep the print head from clogging. When it is left on it pumps ink to keep the head clean. So even if you are not using the printer it is using up expensive ink to keep its head clean.But the darn thing doesn't work half of the time. And when it fails, it screws up very expensive archival paper. When you call HP tech support, they have you run through tests which pump out even more ink.I have two HP printers now. I will kick them both to the curb to cut my losses.HP has lost another sucker for a customer.	negative
0	Macintosh users BEWARE!!!	HP has termite the Photosmart Pro B9180 prior to the release of Lion (OS X 10.7), hence there is no update driver for this printer which works on Lion.If this is not a concern for you, then this is a good but expensive to run printer (maybe 3 stars). The photo quality is very good, it handles wide format paper nicely. However it drinks ink, and the cartridges are expensive. Also, in the three years I own the printer, I hand to replace all the printheads once, and one twice. they too are expensive.	negative
0	Please do not buy this printer.	I printed about 50 photos and then got the dreaded 'service stall' error which in my case meant a carriage problem. It was under warranty and I received a new replacement machine. Now, I'm having two problems - the alignment is off, and the printheads are bad. Note that when you get a new replacement machine, you must transfer the printheads from your old machine to the new one. In my case, this seemed to be no problem given my 'old' machine is practically new. But I've now gone through two internal cleanings which the machine does upon command. Didn't work. So the printheads must be manually cleaned (meaning take them to a service center). I googled the problem and there are scads of reports about various problems users are having with this printer including the ones that I've had.Save yourself a great deal of time, trouble, and ultimately $$$. Don't buy this printer.	negative
0	One terrible printer	The first one I had broke down one week out of the one year warranty. So, I did the online tech support routine to keep costs down and they said, install a new set of carts (to no avail same problem)... Then support said I needed a new printer and that I could buy one from their used replacement program.So, I ponied up almost 300 for a replacement and guess what, the replacement didn't work, either. So, no relief for me. They said the print heads must be bad and I may have to buy a new set. Weeeelll with almost $1000 in and about 50 prints from the machine. You can figure a cost to me of $20 per print and lots of lost hours. I lost confidence in their ability to satisfy this wrong.... no more money for HP.Do yourself a favor: Don't buy this printer.	negative
0	Great when it works, but doesn't work for long..	I purchased this printer 13 months ago. The prints that it makes are impressive, and I loved it while it lasted.. unfortunately, a few weeks ago it stopped working with the dreaded "Service Stall" error that is mentioned in so many other reviews. Being 1 month out of warranty, HP won't even give telephone support to me without me coughing up $40-- and to get it fixed the only option is a $270 trade in program.Most other companies I've dealt with are willing to bend a little when the warranty is only a few days expired--- especially when the product is known to have problems. This will be the last printer I purchase from HP.	negative
1	Good value for your money	I have had the B9180 for several weeks now and it has worked flawlessly. It produces brilliant color prints and has worked on all the papers that I have tried on it. These include Moab, Red River, Hawk Mountain, Hahnemuhle and Ilford brand papers.There are a wide variety of paper profiles available for this printer, many on the Yahoo B9180 group and from the paper manufacturers. You can easily install custom profiles and paper sizes on the printer.HP supplies a Photoshop plugin which unfortunately only installs itself on CS2 (and I assume earlier versions). But there are instructions available (via Google) that show you how to copy the two files by hand into CS3 and once you do that the plugin works.All reports of tech support issues indicate that HP is very responsive to any problems that develop. All in all I'm very pleased with the printer so far.	positive
0	What a lemon	So where do I start? There is nothing about this printer that works. 1. Out of the box printer kept throwing errors. Software upgrade fixed some of it or I suspect just suppressed the errors 2. Printer won't shut down - I have to yank the cable from the back. 3. Mac driver keep reporting that "All print heads are missing" and the printer keeps printing happily. 4. Colors are streaky when running small details yet the test page comes out clean.I spent $100s on HPs paper and genuine ink and wonder if it wasn't cheaper to send my jobs to a print shop... At $700 for the printer and $240 for set of inks this was by far the worst color printer I had.	negative
0	Worked for 6 months	I concur with all negative reviews of this printer. It works for the first 6 months and then breaks down and will frustrate you til you pull your hair out. I do not want to repeat all the comments already posted but believe the people who've owned this for more than a year. It's not worth it!	negative
1	Great quality printer	Puts out a quality print. Inks are supposed to last about 200 years! Inks are VERY expensive! Printer is very noisy and takes a pretty large desktop footprint. It periodically cleans its own heads when left idle which can be startling when it just all the sudden turns on and does its thing. Great for photographers wanting commercial quality without the cost but as a casual color printer, its total overkill.	positive
0	Express Exchange Warranty Program	The express one-day warranty program is a joke. HP will only honor the warranty if they have a refurbished one available to send you. If they don't, you wait until they do! Of course, your customers will surely understand that.......	negative
0	Photosmart B9180 Major Problems	My first inclination that there was a problem with my Photosmart B9180 printer came about when ink usage started climbing and I wasn't using the printer at all. Be advised that when you leave it on, as HP suggests it will periodically use ink to clean the printheads. I started a Google search for a solution to the high ink useage and found James Duncan Davidson's blog, ([...]). It began the horror story for this printer. Between HP's lack of support for this and other problems, (service stalls, paper jams, Vista compatability, and noise)one can only conclude that you need to walk away from this printer.	negative
0	Don't make the mistake!	I wanted a fine printer to print my photos of a recent trip to England and Wales. I researched many printers & bought the B9180 in July 2008. It printed beautifully. But within 2 months I received the error message to replace a faulty printhead. I did, but the message didn't change. The HP support person was so helpful, and I did receive a replacement printer (2 weeks ago). Tonight I set up the new printer, carefully as usual. Immediately the error message came on to remove caps & install printheads (I already had). Then the error message changed to "replace faulty printhead." I've had it! Next step is to get a refund.Don't let the fine look of this printer sway you. It's not the product I expected.	negative
0	subliminal depressant	unbelievable. i was so impressed with this album at first. i even started to write an adoring review. i thought it was the best stuff i've heard in years. but then i found that upon repeated listenings the album has a remarkable effect. i noticed that my stomach became knotted. i lost my appetite. i had no patience for anything. i even stopped taking phone calls. i stopped bathing. it may seem hard to believe, but something about this album is terribly dangerous. i definitely don't understand it. but i strongly recommend that anyone predisposed to depression stay away. do not purchase this album. its interesting to be sure. maybe someone someday will discover that it works subliminally as a depressant. i don't know.	negative
0	Don't waste your time	The other two reviewers were obviously friends of the people who put this 'film' out. Bad production quality, the same 10 second song loop plays repeatedly at the beginning.. No clear direction. Don't waste your time.	negative
1	Great!	You would think that reasoning skills are just common sense, but they are not! This book had lots of information about deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, and logical fallacies, and the practice really helped me apply what I learned. If you need practice for an exam, or just want to learn more, this is a great book!	positive

1	There are not the words to describe this artists amazing ability...but I'll try!	I am sold! I am now a die-hard fan of Sylvain Luc. Now that I have heard three releases, it is clear to me that Sylvain is one of the most amazing talents to ever record an album. He does things that if just about anyone else tried, it wouldn't sound as right as it does from Sylvain. He doesn't seem to have a strict sense of time and once you hear it, it makes perfect sense. He also has great tact and a perfect sense of tastefulness. He does just the right thing at just the right time. He doesn't seem to have a need to pull every one of his tricks out of his bag on every song like guitarist tend to do. All of the Sylvain Luc projects I have heard are of the highest aural quality. Even if you think you don't like Jazz, you will love Sylvain Luc.	positive
1	Sylvain Luc "Joko"	A stunning album, laid back, but ice cold on! The playing is not super intense, but what is there is, is all that needs to be. The recording was made in a studio, but the engineering is superb--right up there with the best!Danlee Mitchell	positive
1	Excellent book	This is an excellent book for anyone interested in clincial theory and practice in working with the bereaved. The diversity of views of bereavement in the various chapters gives a sound, honest sense of the diversity of views in the field of bereavement. Many of the chapters deal with bereavement in the Israeli context, and I think that is a strength. Viewing things from an Israeli context makes it clearer how culture, history, politics, and national sociology are entangled in bereavement and the processes and challenges in treating it. Also, I would say that even though the book is written for professionals and scholars interested in trauma and bereavement, many other readers will find the insights, case studies, and other information of great value.	positive
1	From Africa, With Love	An extensive set of ruminations on his journey from Cameroon to the United States of America. The kid from Cameroon tells all that needs to be said about love, loss and separation, about `why the tortoise's back is cracked, why snakes feel slippery, and why snakes' saliva is poisonous.'Herman Yenwo explains the meanings of customs around the family, cultural, religious, and about the nature of goodness and simplicity. He uses the meanings of images, his experience of love and bond with his family and friends. In short, a summary of meanings of reciprocity in a relationship, and what it means to sustain bonds of trust and commitment.He writes exactly as he talks, `extremely funny, must read it.'	positive

1	Checkmate, Best of Season One....	For those of us who lived during this period of Black and white television we are extremely thankful for the COLOR we get now....But, I for one enjoy the black and white series of the 50s-60s....Here we have Sebastian Cabet, and Doug Mclure....Undoubtedly two of the most sexy gentlemen of the time....This and a couple of other series of the period were very defining as to what would soon be the norm for TV detective programs....I will add more later....red	positive
1	Great Bag, Priced Right	A tripod bag is not a complicated item and I can not understand the $75 and more price tags on some. This bag is well made, uses good materials, and it holds and protects my tripod just fine. The padding is just right- not too bulky, not cheap and thin. Zipper is good quality. Size is right for my Gitzo 2540 with head attached. The pod fits with a little room for some other small gear. In short, it is a well made bag that does what it needs to do at a good price. What more can you ask from something as simple as a tripod bag?	positive
1	Great Quality Bag	We have owned and used this bag for 6 months. It has been on vacation with us in Maine, Vermont and NH. It went into the woods with us photographing wildlife, and the Fall foliage without and signs of wear. Great bag for the money. Top notch quality. Buy one today.	positive
1	Good room, good bag	space for manfrotto 055xprob and grip ball head with room to spare. So far, seems very well built	positive
0	Everything you Wanted & Less	This well-made bag was advertised as fitting a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod. And it will if you bring tools with you to dismount & remount the tripod head each time you use it. Even a small ball head would not fit, never mind the Manfrotto 808RC4 head. I was grateful that Adorama Camera was gracious about accepting the return of this bag that was just outside their normal return window time (was purchased as a gift for me by my wife).	negative
1	Great Case	The case is high quality, very heavy material and I expect many years of service from it.	positive
1	This is a Best Buy!	This well-padded tripod bag with an outside zippered pocket and an inside velcro pocket is high quality and priced low. I can put my Manfrotto 190XV tripod with Bogen/Manfrotto 3126 head attached plus a Pentax 65mm angled spotting scope in its own case with one astronomical eyepiece in place, and even a small field guide all inside with no problem - and then fit 3 fairly large astronomical eyepieces and a homemade eyepiece holder in the outside pocket with room to spare for microfiber optics cleaning cloths and other small items.I am very happy with the utility and quality of this tripod bag and I'd buy it again!	positive
1	Good T.V. but very heavy	I purchased this T.V. because I liked the image. I've had it for 4 years now without any problems. My only complaint is that it is very heavy (Approx. 200 lbs.) I cannot move it my myself. Otherwise it is a good buy.	positive
1	So Far, So Good (fingers crossed)	After reading the other reviews, I wish I had purchased the extended warranty! However, after one week, I'd rate ours 5 stars if it wasn't for the owner's manual. Picture is very clear and bright - and this is only with "rabbit ears" antenna (Houston area). Works very well with Zenith progressive DVD Player. Pulls in lots of stations well, both digital and analog. The nice thing about this unit is that it is fully integrated - you don't have to have cable or satellite if you don't want to.We have not yet tried it with the home theater unit, so perhaps we'll downgrade the rating after we try to hook that up (see the long customer review).My only complaint so far is that the manual is minimal - adequate but minimal.	positive
0	VERY POOR QUALITY CONTROL	Bought this TV as a Christmas gift for my family. From the time of purchase to the time I finally rearranged my family room to accomidate this new unit it was over a month. I get the unit in place and turn it on only to find that the entire screen is not working. Needless to say I am extremeely disappointed. Now waiting for a part. If I had my way I would send it back and get a Sony like I should have.I consider this very poor quality control for such a large corporation. Stay tuned, you might see it on ebay.	negative
0	IT HAS TO WORK TO HAVE VALUE	Unit failed after 2 hours. Zenith internet expert no help and can't even tell where to take to have serviced. Zenith customer service promised to return telephone call but been waiting 3 days. Zenith implied no guarantee if purchaed on line. Made in Mexico, not famous for high tech. My recommendation: wait 2 more years and buy Phillips or Sony.	negative
1	Replacement of shakespear antenna	This is a replacement of an antenna. They work well, but get extremely rough use in the wooded roads. Good product.	positive
1	2 Great B-Sides and 1 Atrocity	Hey Weeziites...it's another single! This one has two (excellent) b-sides from the Green Album, and one horriffic remix of Hash Pipe. The b-sides are I Do and Starlight. I Do is one of the best Weezer songs yet! I can't believe it's not on the cd. It's a beautiful slow tempo Butterfly-esque song. Starlight is a great, up-tempo typical Green Album song. Now, Hash Pipe (Jimmy Pop Remix) is terrible. Yes it is "Hash Pipe", but in name only. Just consider this a 3-track single and try to forget about the remix.	positive
1	One of my favorite imports	Buying this CD is definetly worth it because you get 2 of Weezer's best B-sides to date. First off, "I Do" is definetly the most depressing (and shortest!) Weezer song out there. It's a lot different from their other stuff. When you first listen to it, don't make any judgment. Give it about 3 more plays and see how you feel. It's pretty good. Then you get "Starlight" which rivals a lot of the songs that made it onto the Green Album (beats Hashpipe, in my opinion.) The Jimmy Pop Remix is OK, but it sounds like he just dubbed the lyrics over the Bloodhound Gang's "Bad Touch." Any self-respecting Weezer fan should own this single. It is definetly not a waste of money, god knows we've all had our bad experiences with Imports.	positive
1	Hash Pipe, not Half Pipe	Hash Pipe is agreat song despite the fact that people keep calling it Half Pipe. The song itself is excellent and the it includes an excellent remix and another good track, not forgetting the video	positive
1	whoa whoa- i got my hashpipe	A great buy here. i am still waiting on mine, however, the new cd rocks and it includes unreleased tracks and possibly live tracks. Can't wait to get ahold of my own.	positive
0	You've got to be kidding!	Ner-ner-ner-ner . Great stuff. If it were tongue-in-cheek, I could maybe appreciate it. But since its serious, I can only laff. Har har har!	negative
0	Do not bother unless...	You are a RABID fan or a completist. This album contains inferior material than what they have on many other albums.	negative
0	Havamal Words of the High One	Very disappointing - a real waste of money: half of the "book" was blank pages. Why on earth did the publisher not add illustrations or make the print bigger and the bookcover smaller? Hardly worth keeping.	negative
1	Sublime	It seems Rava and Bollani are giving concerts all around the world! I also saw them a few weeks ago. They are just perfect partners. Rava gives enough space to Bollani as to let him grow and express. Enjoyable and never lasting good jazz	positive
0	Boring	Opener, The Man I Love, is lazy uncreative fare from a group interplay perspective but beautifully subtle and understated in term's of Rava's playing when listened to from a solo perspective. Next is Birdsong, a lazy, simplistic steal from Erik Satie's Trois Gymnopedies.Much of the piano improvising is old fashioned pap. Motian's drumming is often just plain irritating, responding in an often seemingly random way to the moment rather than evincing any thought to the overall structure of the music."Ping pong jazz" occurs at times where in the absence of any original way to respond you just echo what someone else has just played.A pity as Rava has such a beautiful expressive way with his horn, such a ravishing sound.The reason for the extra star is that the CD works for me as background music when I can just focus on Rava's keening yet easily digested poetry.	negative
0	Lingering becomes languishing	Exploiting Rava's breezy qualities a little too much for the worse, these underdeveloped if inoffensive laid back sketches are heavy on style but short on substance.	negative

0	Problems with the episode called BLOWUP	This series which we have all longed for to be put on to DVD has a major fault with Discs 2 & 3. The episode BLOWUP is faulty and will not play. Not enough care and attention has been paid to copying these episodes to DVD. Its not only my copy that is faulty, but people I know in the USA and in Australia are finding this DVD susbstandard with faults on this episode. They all need to be recalled and we should be supplied with episodes that play properly in our DVD players. So I advise everyone to steer clear of these DVDs until this fault has been corrected.Peter	negative
0	Where was Quality Control?	It's great to see all these titles being released by Timeless Media Group, but - if they are all as badly mastered as this set - they needn't have bothered.I agree the previous comments - skips, pixilations - particularly on Disc Two. Timeless need to get their act together quickly - I would have thought a recall of all dodgy discs a necessary first step.	negative
0	RIVERBOAT	I disagree with the guy who thinks the more expensive the DVD player the better job it will do. And sorry fella, but some of the players $100 or less will play discs just as good. The more expensive DVD players actually have so many added features that they sometimes will actually cause more disc problems. I own 7 DVD players....two cost of $700.00 and I can say as one with experience that my less expensive machines have less problems with playback. People think just because it costs more money it means it is better. It may have better sound output or provide HDV quality. But as for bad discs like that offered in RIVERBOAT no machine is going to play them properly. I agree...these are poorly recorded. Frankly it looks like someone who has copied them from VHS and were not professionally produced. They were not digitally enhanced in any way. They really look like copies of copies.	negative
0	Could be better	I had the same experience as the previous reviewers. The episodes skip, pixelate and the audio keeps dropping out. It has nothing to do with the DVD player (I have a modern, expensive, state-of-the-art one), this set was just poorly mastered. I was very disappointed considering I bought it for my father who loved this show when it first aired.	negative
0	Upgraded to 4 stars (Not as pictured!)	I am changing my rating to a 4 star. I was using the wrong rowing technique. One has to use the Sculling Technique (I have only rowed in rowboats to fish). I wish the user guide would have technique instructions for this device. I searched the WEB for 'proper rowing technique' and found a great video explaining the sculling technique. Great workout! Kettler needs to improve the foot rest straps and the manual then it would be 5 stars. Amazon needs to put the proper picture on the product page and so does Kettler in its brochure! There was a design change to where the rowing bars attach to the shock absorbers to make it more robust.	negative
0	Good machine - Dumb manufacturer	The machine is fine. Amazon service is great.HOWEVER, there are tons of problems with the product.1. The product comes in a thin cardboard box with no protected foam or anything. The box I got in had so many holes and scratches during the shipment. Luckily none of the parts were damaged.2. MISSING PARTS. Like so many other reviews, mine came without the footrests. Even worse, it came with parts for BOTH right arms. I had to call Amazon CS and they had to ship me another one for me to complete the assembly.3. NO ENGLISH. The assembly instruction is all pictures with no english. You can still follow by looking at pictures but it's very easy to miss parts. The machine instruction has English but it makes no sense. And it doesn't even have any instruction on how to properly row the machine.OVERALL, the machine is fine but be prepared to go through headaches due to missing parts or wrong parts being shipped in flimsy cardboard box.	negative
0	Defective Weld. Poor Quality Control.	The weld of the support beneath the seat to the main bar was crooked so it was impossible to assemble the rower. I am returning it and looking for a different rower. I do not trust the quality control of a company that would send out a product with such a major defect. I received the rower on time however the packaging is poor, pieces stuffed somewhat haphazardly into a cardboard box. It almost looked like a re-packaged item.	negative
1	Feels Natural	Outstanding rower with solid construction.Although the instructions are in German, its not that hard to figure for installation (~30 minutes).Natural feeling outrigger rowing action.The pistons do heat up after 20-30 minutes of consistent rowing, so you will have to adjust the tension based on the viscosity of the fluid.Other than that, the automatic sensor and digital readout is easy to use.Stores well quickly when not in use.Recommended if you use on a regular basis for a athletic person using for cardio (endurance) and anaerobic (strength) training or just someone that wants to improve themselves.Not recommended if you are a professional rower, because the resistance is just too low for substantial rowing for more than 30 minutes at a time.	positive
0	Cheaper Elsewhere	I found it $30 cheaper on another site. I liked the reviews here and shopped around and found a better deal. Once it arrived, it was a great machine. Took an hour or two to put together, not a big deal. I took it slow and patient and everything fit properly. The quality is excellent, not thin tinny parts, but solid machinery. It's whisper quiet, so you can enjoy television while rowing. It's small when wide open, and the arms fold back even farther for easy storage. The only problem is the data panel -- the booklet instructions are in some inscrutable language, so I never learned how to use the buttons on the panel. That's ok, though, because it gives you elapsed time and number of reps, and I don't really need a lot more data when I'm rowing. Also, the data panel kind of slides on to the top of the machine and sits between your knees. If you bump it while rowing, it can get loose or pop off. But overall, this is an excellent machine, well worth the money.	negative
0	NOT SATISFIED	The rowing machine is in GERMAN. I can't use this at all!! NOT HAPPY WITH PURCHASE. Spent a lot of money on something I can't read or understand.	negative

0	Arko bin dividers	Even though they are advertised as Arko dividers, they appeared to be counterfeits. Very poor fit nor are they as thick as my original Arko dividers.

1	Image enhancer	I purchased this circular polarizer as an excellent addition for my Canon SX40HS camera system. This system assists me in creating the exact image that I am trying to create with my camera system. It does not seem to be quite as efficient a polarizer as those that I have used in imaging before but they were systems used with film cameras. Will be interested to see if I am able to create the desired effects under all the conditions that I wish to use this system.	positive
1	great filter	Took this filter to Egypt and Kenya. It was very easy to use and pictures came out great! thanks for the fast service!	positive
0	Another buyer with a broken filter	I bought this filter, and it was fine for three months, but then while out shooting it came apart in my hand, meaning the half of the filter that you rotate separated from the half that screws to your lens. The C-clip that holds the two halves together went flying, but I managed to find it. Unfortunately, it ended my shooting day, because the C-clip is coated with a thin oil that splattered all over my lens, and was impossible to remove without a strong cleaner.When I got home, I managed to snap the two halves back together, and managed to clean my lens, but the actual filter is almost impossible to clean, because when you wipe it, your cloth will touch the edge of the filter and pick up more oil, so you end up fouling the glass again.I've contacted the seller to see about a replacement. The filter works well, but could use a bit better QC.	negative
0	BEWARE!	If you purchase this product from DBROTH, you are receiving a "grey market" item. The filter I received was not a true circulating filter. It was comprised of only one ring, even though the packaging clearly states it to be "circulating." DBROTH was unwilling to exchange it, because I had it a little more than one month-due to extenuating circumstances. I was forced to call HOYA and they determined DBROTH is not an authorized dealer and is purchasing this product from China or somewhere outside the HOYA factory (Japan) to cut costs.	negative
0	Falls apart.	I placed this on my camera. Used if for two days, great pics. BUT, I was removing it and it fell apart, the filter ring, the wire, and the polarizer -- all came apart. Here I am, out of the country and I had to buy another and have it shipped for $35.00. Do not buy this.	negative
1	Amazing filter, smooth and easy to use.	This is one of the first filters I have ever purchased and it is well worth the $45. The build quality is great and the effect it has on the camera is irreplaceable. The filters bearing is smooth and has not worn down in the weeks that I have used it heavily. You have to get the filter in the right position for it to have its full effect, though. And if you have an autofocus lens you have to readjust the filter, but this is a minor inconvenience. It is very easy to put on the lens and has an effect unparalleled by any other filter, lens, or photo editing program.	positive
0	Might as well be window glass	I purchased a Hoya CIR-PL filter on Amazon. I am an experienced photographer and can say with certainty that it doesn't work. At all. Regardless of position of the front element relative to the rear, there is no change in color, saturation, reflection, or any of the other criteria that circular polarizing lenses should correct or effect. In one instance, I was able to take better reflection-free photos through a window with my iPhone than with my Canon EOS Rebel XTi, with the CIR-PL filter on either my EFS 18-55mm lens or EFS IS Ultrasonic 70-300mm lens. In short, the two elements of the filter might as well be made of window glass. FWIW, this particular filter was manufactured in the Phillipines.I wrote to Hoya and am waiting to hear back. I will update when and if I do.	negative
1	Decent product, made in Philippines instead of Japan (as shown in pic)	The product is of decent quality, and rotating the filter while shooting at 90 degree to the sun light provides the best effect. Did not encounter significant amount of glare even though this is not Hoya HMC coated.Only surprise: display picture for item on Amazon list the item as made in Japan, maybe due to the vendor (DBROTH), but the received product is actually made in Philippine.Overall the product does what it's made to do.	positive
1	high tecnologies	I would recommend. I use it. I got excellent results in snow. no need for flash of Facial brightness .	positive
1	High quality polarizing filter	This is my first polarizing filter, so I can't compare it to other polarizing filters. What I can say is that as I spin it, I can literally watch the reflections in glass disappear, and I can watch the highlights on leaves come back. Also, blue skies get bluer. Works very well.Quality-wise, it's very high quality. It comes in a nice, small, plastic case which is a good place to store my B+W UV Filter while I'm using the Hoya. It's not quite as heavy as the B+W, but it's close.	positive
0	DO NOT BUY	After spending all that money and using it twice the ring came off of the filter. Now I have a pice of JUNK.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!	negative
0	Very Poor Quality	I just got this polarized lens for my canon eos t1i my teacher told me to go tiffen but i read the reviews and people said this was good my lens fell apart and the part that screws in is stuck in my lens i had to us a needle nose to get it out on the first day of using it this is very cheep VERY bad quality but when it wasnt broken it took great pics but i will be buying tiffen from now on	negative
0	Not what it used to be	I purchased my oven in June '09 hoping it would be the same excellent quality of my former (same model) oven. I am very disappointed in the construction of thin, poorly insulated metal causing excessive EXTERIOR heat. You cannot touch this machine once heated. The motor is noisey, it rattles continuously, and the expansion/contraction sounds continue.The door hinges do not have a "stop" - the door just flops open falling onto the countertop unlike the older ovens. The oven bakes well; the size, both interior & exterior, are excellent being the primary reason I purchased this model again. Over the years I have owned West Bend toasters, roasters & coffee pots always very pleased with the products and loved my former "toaster oven" model 74706!I could not recommend the current West Bend #74706 until construction quality is improved. This is a manufacturer problem, not AMAZON.	negative
0	Very disappointed in this product	We bought 2 of these units. Both were very loud from the start...but we thought it was the crumb trays, and yes, after bending the trays a bit the noise was less but the doors also hum to the vibration of the oven cooking...now down to the serious stuff...it takes FOREVER to toast. We have now had these units for 1 year and one no longer works properly..the upper burners don't work. We are so upset..paying $100 for this model!!! And that was on sale! Now I see why they went on sale.,..,probably had so many returns. I figure it's been a year so we will not be able to return the unit. Our loss, so I just have to go on web sites and give this product the lowest rating so others don't waste money.	negative

Nice Item!

MAC USERS BEWARE!

WARNING: This is NOT a postcript printer -- which means if you use any graphics based program (Quark, InDesign, Illustrator, etc) you wil have to buy separate, VERY EXPENSIVE postscript software. After an eternal quest to find a good quality printer that is postscript compatible, I finally purchased the HP B9180. The print quality and colors are amazing, but this printer sucks up ink like a sponge. HP... please make another printer with built-in postcript for us designers!!!

Great, but unfixable problems after one year.

I do like this printer - really great inks. Did a lot of research on printers before getting this one about 2 years ago. However, after having problems with ink splotches on the sides of my prints, and after realizing that it started guzzling enormous amounts of ink during its routine cycling, I did a little more research. I read online at Duncan Davidson's site that he's been having the same problems. http://duncandavidson.com/2008/08/two-big-hp-b9180-problems.html, which leads me to believe my problem wasn't a one-off. After a few weeks of replacing inks, and without printing, I'm finding that the printer has been using up all the ink doing its maintenance cycles. HP recommends leaving this printer on all the time, and turning it off doesn't solve the blotches on the edges of prints due to the printheads hitting the edges of paper. I'm hoping they fix this problem because initially i loved the printer.

A path of problems....

This is my second B9180 and even though I bought the extended warranty it'll be my last. When I resolve one issue (printerhead cleaning, printerhead replacement, new ink, updated driver) another problem comes up (paper jam, paper not recognized, endless cycling). Because I am not retired, or wealthy, I do not have the time to babysit this machine. Nice prints though.

VISTA Compatibility Warning

Please note that this printer will not work as advertised with VISTA. HP customer support has informed me that the printer does not support 13x19 printing with VISTA. I learned this after troubleshooting and wasting major amounts of ink and costly paper. In this large size, prints only contain part of the image. I purchased this printer because HPs website advertises this printer as "certified for VISTA" and capable of borderless prints at 13x19. It amazes me that HP continues to falsely advertise their product. Be warned of this issue and HPs decision to continue to falsely advertise.

Great Printer, HORRIBLE SERVICE

I purchased this printer about 9 months ago and have used it for photo printing. The print quality is good IF AND ONLY IF you can get the right paper profiles. Make sure your favorite papers are supported by this HP product.After just 9 months, I had a problem with the paper sensor. It no longer prints and just drags paper until it eventually jams. I have been working with HP for over 1 month to get a replacement printer. I've submitted the requested paperwork 3 times, but to no avail. Each call results in at least 3 transfers to different departments, nobody able to get this resolved.I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HP PRODUCT!!I have been in the computer software industry for over 20 years and have never experienced such poor customer service. Shame on HP.

HP Photosmart B-9180

I am on my third replacement printer in less that a year. Each time the unit worked for a week and then wouldn't function at all due to a hardware failure. Customer service is friendly and quick to answer but not at all helpful. I replaced all the ink cartridges and the Magenta was "out of ink" after less that 15 letter size prints. I would not recommend this printer.

Paper jam error after a year and already a replacement within warranty

Experienced all the above. service: average, repair cost: of the roof. courtesy: none at all. really too bad, because it seemed to have it all, straight paper throughput, color calibration, networking, only slightly annoying software for mac osx (ink replacement warnings over and over again until you really have to replace the cartridge two month later.) Option to skip the installation of extra software (not having to install 500mb of futile software is a first for hp in my experience).I think the paper detection is optical and gets misted after a while of printing and thats causing THE "paper jam error" after which you are left with a printer which can print 1,5 to 3 cm high pictures perfectly before giving THE "message" Getting to this sensor is nearly impossible.

Incredible

This is the best printer I have ever owned. I still use a lower tech printer for simple text based routine stuff, but when I need to tweak things and send friends photos, the HP B9180 is incredible with respect to what it produces. I'm not a professional, but for my purposes, this printer meets pro requirements.

this printer is hands down the most expensive to buy and maintain.. worse than my wife. complains no ink; needs service..getting ready for new ink wants more ink..you get it. photos are good quality but you average 50 cents a photo and 10 dollars in aggravation.today all support and products seem to be junk. years ago you bought something used it for years and you may even pass it on to someone else..today products are garbage no mater what you pay..that's my 2 cents...HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer

Awfull, HP should be ashamed.

I replaced a CP 1700 that had been stolen with this printer. Four letter words; there are not enough of them to describe this incredable piece of junk. DO NOT BUY IT!Recently, a replace cart message appeared. I spent $115 for 3 new carts. I installed them and then immeadiately got a message to replace two of the printheads. I did so at an additional cost of $135. On turning on the printer got the same replace printhead message. I contacted HP on line help and was told there was nothing they would do, not could do buit would do, because the printer was out of warrenty. So another $250 down the drain and this piece of junk still won't work. Hello Epson goodby HP!

Never again...

I'm now on the fourth of these printers, the first three being returned to and replaced by HP due to various failures. This fourth one has latest for a couple of years, and now it has died too despite only light, periodic use. Now I'm stuck with a couple hundred dollars of cartridges, etc., for this over-sized doorstop. I'll try to sell them off on Craigslist. I currently have seven HP printers, and swear never to buy another. The only bright spot is that, as quickly as HP printers die, I'll soon be rid of them. Epson here I come.

Makes great prints when its working, but guzzles expensive ink, and has a known defect with the paper sensor, which fails after a little over a year and renders the printer a boat anchor - if you don't believe me google "hp b9180 paper jam error", or "b9180 problems",,,,HP customer service is useless,,,,,Buy this at your own risk.

I bought a HP B9180 just over 1 year ago (17 days over a year). Now I am told unless I pay for Tech Support, HP will not help me with a common error on there B9180, $600.00 plus printer. You can go on the internet a see for your self "Service Stall Press OK to continue" or to HP web site and read reviews. This error message stops the printer from working or doing anything. I have printed about 25 pictures and now this printer is a piece of junk.

Excellent Printer

This is an excellent printer. One review stated that you can only use "Advanced" paper in this printer...not so. If you want to use different papers you must "tell" the printer what type of paper you are using. It's easy to do from the printer properties menu. When you click "print", then click "printer properties" and several options open up to select all sort of things, type of paper, size, borderless or whatever. It's given me super results on many papers!!

Stay away from this ink vacuum

I bought this printer because the Vivera ink had good reviews for being archival. This printer needs to be left on, according to HP support, in order to keep the print head from clogging. When it is left on it pumps ink to keep the head clean. So even if you are not using the printer it is using up expensive ink to keep its head clean.But the darn thing doesn't work half of the time. And when it fails, it screws up very expensive archival paper. When you call HP tech support, they have you run through tests which pump out even more ink.I have two HP printers now. I will kick them both to the curb to cut my losses.HP has lost another sucker for a customer.

Macintosh users BEWARE!!!

HP has termite the Photosmart Pro B9180 prior to the release of Lion (OS X 10.7), hence there is no update driver for this printer which works on Lion.If this is not a concern for you, then this is a good but expensive to run printer (maybe 3 stars). The photo quality is very good, it handles wide format paper nicely. However it drinks ink, and the cartridges are expensive. Also, in the three years I own the printer, I hand to replace all the printheads once, and one twice. they too are expensive.

Please do not buy this printer.

I printed about 50 photos and then got the dreaded 'service stall' error which in my case meant a carriage problem. It was under warranty and I received a new replacement machine. Now, I'm having two problems - the alignment is off, and the printheads are bad. Note that when you get a new replacement machine, you must transfer the printheads from your old machine to the new one. In my case, this seemed to be no problem given my 'old' machine is practically new. But I've now gone through two internal cleanings which the machine does upon command. Didn't work. So the printheads must be manually cleaned (meaning take them to a service center). I googled the problem and there are scads of reports about various problems users are having with this printer including the ones that I've had.Save yourself a great deal of time, trouble, and ultimately $$$. Don't buy this printer.

One terrible printer

The first one I had broke down one week out of the one year warranty. So, I did the online tech support routine to keep costs down and they said, install a new set of carts (to no avail same problem)... Then support said I needed a new printer and that I could buy one from their used replacement program.So, I ponied up almost 300 for a replacement and guess what, the replacement didn't work, either. So, no relief for me. They said the print heads must be bad and I may have to buy a new set. Weeeelll with almost $1000 in and about 50 prints from the machine. You can figure a cost to me of $20 per print and lots of lost hours. I lost confidence in their ability to satisfy this wrong.... no more money for HP.Do yourself a favor: Don't buy this printer.

Great when it works, but doesn't work for long..

I purchased this printer 13 months ago. The prints that it makes are impressive, and I loved it while it lasted.. unfortunately, a few weeks ago it stopped working with the dreaded "Service Stall" error that is mentioned in so many other reviews. Being 1 month out of warranty, HP won't even give telephone support to me without me coughing up $40-- and to get it fixed the only option is a $270 trade in program.Most other companies I've dealt with are willing to bend a little when the warranty is only a few days expired--- especially when the product is known to have problems. This will be the last printer I purchase from HP.

Good value for your money

I have had the B9180 for several weeks now and it has worked flawlessly. It produces brilliant color prints and has worked on all the papers that I have tried on it. These include Moab, Red River, Hawk Mountain, Hahnemuhle and Ilford brand papers.There are a wide variety of paper profiles available for this printer, many on the Yahoo B9180 group and from the paper manufacturers. You can easily install custom profiles and paper sizes on the printer.HP supplies a Photoshop plugin which unfortunately only installs itself on CS2 (and I assume earlier versions). But there are instructions available (via Google) that show you how to copy the two files by hand into CS3 and once you do that the plugin works.All reports of tech support issues indicate that HP is very responsive to any problems that develop. All in all I'm very pleased with the printer so far.

What a lemon

So where do I start? There is nothing about this printer that works. 1. Out of the box printer kept throwing errors. Software upgrade fixed some of it or I suspect just suppressed the errors 2. Printer won't shut down - I have to yank the cable from the back. 3. Mac driver keep reporting that "All print heads are missing" and the printer keeps printing happily. 4. Colors are streaky when running small details yet the test page comes out clean.I spent $100s on HPs paper and genuine ink and wonder if it wasn't cheaper to send my jobs to a print shop... At $700 for the printer and $240 for set of inks this was by far the worst color printer I had.

Worked for 6 months

I concur with all negative reviews of this printer. It works for the first 6 months and then breaks down and will frustrate you til you pull your hair out. I do not want to repeat all the comments already posted but believe the people who've owned this for more than a year. It's not worth it!

Great quality printer

Puts out a quality print. Inks are supposed to last about 200 years! Inks are VERY expensive! Printer is very noisy and takes a pretty large desktop footprint. It periodically cleans its own heads when left idle which can be startling when it just all the sudden turns on and does its thing. Great for photographers wanting commercial quality without the cost but as a casual color printer, its total overkill.

Photosmart B9180 Major Problems

My first inclination that there was a problem with my Photosmart B9180 printer came about when ink usage started climbing and I wasn't using the printer at all. Be advised that when you leave it on, as HP suggests it will periodically use ink to clean the printheads. I started a Google search for a solution to the high ink useage and found James Duncan Davidson's blog, ([...]). It began the horror story for this printer. Between HP's lack of support for this and other problems, (service stalls, paper jams, Vista compatability, and noise)one can only conclude that you need to walk away from this printer.

Don't make the mistake!

I wanted a fine printer to print my photos of a recent trip to England and Wales. I researched many printers & bought the B9180 in July 2008. It printed beautifully. But within 2 months I received the error message to replace a faulty printhead. I did, but the message didn't change. The HP support person was so helpful, and I did receive a replacement printer (2 weeks ago). Tonight I set up the new printer, carefully as usual. Immediately the error message came on to remove caps & install printheads (I already had). Then the error message changed to "replace faulty printhead." I've had it! Next step is to get a refund.Don't let the fine look of this printer sway you. It's not the product I expected.

unbelievable. i was so impressed with this album at first. i even started to write an adoring review. i thought it was the best stuff i've heard in years. but then i found that upon repeated listenings the album has a remarkable effect. i noticed that my stomach became knotted. i lost my appetite. i had no patience for anything. i even stopped taking phone calls. i stopped bathing. it may seem hard to believe, but something about this album is terribly dangerous. i definitely don't understand it. but i strongly recommend that anyone predisposed to depression stay away. do not purchase this album. its interesting to be sure. maybe someone someday will discover that it works subliminally as a depressant. i don't know.

Don't waste your time

The other two reviewers were obviously friends of the people who put this 'film' out. Bad production quality, the same 10 second song loop plays repeatedly at the beginning.. No clear direction. Don't waste your time.

Great!

You would think that reasoning skills are just common sense, but they are not! This book had lots of information about deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, and logical fallacies, and the practice really helped me apply what I learned. If you need practice for an exam, or just want to learn more, this is a great book!

There are not the words to describe this artists amazing ability...but I'll try!

I am sold! I am now a die-hard fan of Sylvain Luc. Now that I have heard three releases, it is clear to me that Sylvain is one of the most amazing talents to ever record an album. He does things that if just about anyone else tried, it wouldn't sound as right as it does from Sylvain. He doesn't seem to have a strict sense of time and once you hear it, it makes perfect sense. He also has great tact and a perfect sense of tastefulness. He does just the right thing at just the right time. He doesn't seem to have a need to pull every one of his tricks out of his bag on every song like guitarist tend to do. All of the Sylvain Luc projects I have heard are of the highest aural quality. Even if you think you don't like Jazz, you will love Sylvain Luc.

Sylvain Luc "Joko"

A stunning album, laid back, but ice cold on! The playing is not super intense, but what is there is, is all that needs to be. The recording was made in a studio, but the engineering is superb--right up there with the best!Danlee Mitchell

Excellent book

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in clincial theory and practice in working with the bereaved. The diversity of views of bereavement in the various chapters gives a sound, honest sense of the diversity of views in the field of bereavement. Many of the chapters deal with bereavement in the Israeli context, and I think that is a strength. Viewing things from an Israeli context makes it clearer how culture, history, politics, and national sociology are entangled in bereavement and the processes and challenges in treating it. Also, I would say that even though the book is written for professionals and scholars interested in trauma and bereavement, many other readers will find the insights, case studies, and other information of great value.

From Africa, With Love

An extensive set of ruminations on his journey from Cameroon to the United States of America. The kid from Cameroon tells all that needs to be said about love, loss and separation, about `why the tortoise's back is cracked, why snakes feel slippery, and why snakes' saliva is poisonous.'Herman Yenwo explains the meanings of customs around the family, cultural, religious, and about the nature of goodness and simplicity. He uses the meanings of images, his experience of love and bond with his family and friends. In short, a summary of meanings of reciprocity in a relationship, and what it means to sustain bonds of trust and commitment.He writes exactly as he talks, `extremely funny, must read it.'

Great Bag, Priced Right

A tripod bag is not a complicated item and I can not understand the $75 and more price tags on some. This bag is well made, uses good materials, and it holds and protects my tripod just fine. The padding is just right- not too bulky, not cheap and thin. Zipper is good quality. Size is right for my Gitzo 2540 with head attached. The pod fits with a little room for some other small gear. In short, it is a well made bag that does what it needs to do at a good price. What more can you ask from something as simple as a tripod bag?

So Far, So Good (fingers crossed)

After reading the other reviews, I wish I had purchased the extended warranty! However, after one week, I'd rate ours 5 stars if it wasn't for the owner's manual. Picture is very clear and bright - and this is only with "rabbit ears" antenna (Houston area). Works very well with Zenith progressive DVD Player. Pulls in lots of stations well, both digital and analog. The nice thing about this unit is that it is fully integrated - you don't have to have cable or satellite if you don't want to.We have not yet tried it with the home theater unit, so perhaps we'll downgrade the rating after we try to hook that up (see the long customer review).My only complaint so far is that the manual is minimal - adequate but minimal.

VERY POOR QUALITY CONTROL

Bought this TV as a Christmas gift for my family. From the time of purchase to the time I finally rearranged my family room to accomidate this new unit it was over a month. I get the unit in place and turn it on only to find that the entire screen is not working. Needless to say I am extremeely disappointed. Now waiting for a part. If I had my way I would send it back and get a Sony like I should have.I consider this very poor quality control for such a large corporation. Stay tuned, you might see it on ebay.

2 Great B-Sides and 1 Atrocity

Hey Weeziites...it's another single! This one has two (excellent) b-sides from the Green Album, and one horriffic remix of Hash Pipe. The b-sides are I Do and Starlight. I Do is one of the best Weezer songs yet! I can't believe it's not on the cd. It's a beautiful slow tempo Butterfly-esque song. Starlight is a great, up-tempo typical Green Album song. Now, Hash Pipe (Jimmy Pop Remix) is terrible. Yes it is "Hash Pipe", but in name only. Just consider this a 3-track single and try to forget about the remix.

positive

One of my favorite imports

Buying this CD is definetly worth it because you get 2 of Weezer's best B-sides to date. First off, "I Do" is definetly the most depressing (and shortest!) Weezer song out there. It's a lot different from their other stuff. When you first listen to it, don't make any judgment. Give it about 3 more plays and see how you feel. It's pretty good. Then you get "Starlight" which rivals a lot of the songs that made it onto the Green Album (beats Hashpipe, in my opinion.) The Jimmy Pop Remix is OK, but it sounds like he just dubbed the lyrics over the Bloodhound Gang's "Bad Touch." Any self-respecting Weezer fan should own this single. It is definetly not a waste of money, god knows we've all had our bad experiences with Imports.

Boring

Opener, The Man I Love, is lazy uncreative fare from a group interplay perspective but beautifully subtle and understated in term's of Rava's playing when listened to from a solo perspective. Next is Birdsong, a lazy, simplistic steal from Erik Satie's Trois Gymnopedies.Much of the piano improvising is old fashioned pap. Motian's drumming is often just plain irritating, responding in an often seemingly random way to the moment rather than evincing any thought to the overall structure of the music."Ping pong jazz" occurs at times where in the absence of any original way to respond you just echo what someone else has just played.A pity as Rava has such a beautiful expressive way with his horn, such a ravishing sound.The reason for the extra star is that the CD works for me as background music when I can just focus on Rava's keening yet easily digested poetry.

Problems with the episode called BLOWUP

This series which we have all longed for to be put on to DVD has a major fault with Discs 2 & 3. The episode BLOWUP is faulty and will not play. Not enough care and attention has been paid to copying these episodes to DVD. Its not only my copy that is faulty, but people I know in the USA and in Australia are finding this DVD susbstandard with faults on this episode. They all need to be recalled and we should be supplied with episodes that play properly in our DVD players. So I advise everyone to steer clear of these DVDs until this fault has been corrected.Peter

Where was Quality Control?

It's great to see all these titles being released by Timeless Media Group, but - if they are all as badly mastered as this set - they needn't have bothered.I agree the previous comments - skips, pixilations - particularly on Disc Two. Timeless need to get their act together quickly - I would have thought a recall of all dodgy discs a necessary first step.

RIVERBOAT

I disagree with the guy who thinks the more expensive the DVD player the better job it will do. And sorry fella, but some of the players $100 or less will play discs just as good. The more expensive DVD players actually have so many added features that they sometimes will actually cause more disc problems. I own 7 DVD players....two cost of $700.00 and I can say as one with experience that my less expensive machines have less problems with playback. People think just because it costs more money it means it is better. It may have better sound output or provide HDV quality. But as for bad discs like that offered in RIVERBOAT no machine is going to play them properly. I agree...these are poorly recorded. Frankly it looks like someone who has copied them from VHS and were not professionally produced. They were not digitally enhanced in any way. They really look like copies of copies.

Could be better

I had the same experience as the previous reviewers. The episodes skip, pixelate and the audio keeps dropping out. It has nothing to do with the DVD player (I have a modern, expensive, state-of-the-art one), this set was just poorly mastered. I was very disappointed considering I bought it for my father who loved this show when it first aired.

Upgraded to 4 stars (Not as pictured!)

I am changing my rating to a 4 star. I was using the wrong rowing technique. One has to use the Sculling Technique (I have only rowed in rowboats to fish). I wish the user guide would have technique instructions for this device. I searched the WEB for 'proper rowing technique' and found a great video explaining the sculling technique. Great workout! Kettler needs to improve the foot rest straps and the manual then it would be 5 stars. Amazon needs to put the proper picture on the product page and so does Kettler in its brochure! There was a design change to where the rowing bars attach to the shock absorbers to make it more robust.

Good machine - Dumb manufacturer

The machine is fine. Amazon service is great.HOWEVER, there are tons of problems with the product.1. The product comes in a thin cardboard box with no protected foam or anything. The box I got in had so many holes and scratches during the shipment. Luckily none of the parts were damaged.2. MISSING PARTS. Like so many other reviews, mine came without the footrests. Even worse, it came with parts for BOTH right arms. I had to call Amazon CS and they had to ship me another one for me to complete the assembly.3. NO ENGLISH. The assembly instruction is all pictures with no english. You can still follow by looking at pictures but it's very easy to miss parts. The machine instruction has English but it makes no sense. And it doesn't even have any instruction on how to properly row the machine.OVERALL, the machine is fine but be prepared to go through headaches due to missing parts or wrong parts being shipped in flimsy cardboard box.

Defective Weld. Poor Quality Control.

The weld of the support beneath the seat to the main bar was crooked so it was impossible to assemble the rower. I am returning it and looking for a different rower. I do not trust the quality control of a company that would send out a product with such a major defect. I received the rower on time however the packaging is poor, pieces stuffed somewhat haphazardly into a cardboard box. It almost looked like a re-packaged item.

Feels Natural

Outstanding rower with solid construction.Although the instructions are in German, its not that hard to figure for installation (~30 minutes).Natural feeling outrigger rowing action.The pistons do heat up after 20-30 minutes of consistent rowing, so you will have to adjust the tension based on the viscosity of the fluid.Other than that, the automatic sensor and digital readout is easy to use.Stores well quickly when not in use.Recommended if you use on a regular basis for a athletic person using for cardio (endurance) and anaerobic (strength) training or just someone that wants to improve themselves.Not recommended if you are a professional rower, because the resistance is just too low for substantial rowing for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Cheaper Elsewhere

I found it $30 cheaper on another site. I liked the reviews here and shopped around and found a better deal. Once it arrived, it was a great machine. Took an hour or two to put together, not a big deal. I took it slow and patient and everything fit properly. The quality is excellent, not thin tinny parts, but solid machinery. It's whisper quiet, so you can enjoy television while rowing. It's small when wide open, and the arms fold back even farther for easy storage. The only problem is the data panel -- the booklet instructions are in some inscrutable language, so I never learned how to use the buttons on the panel. That's ok, though, because it gives you elapsed time and number of reps, and I don't really need a lot more data when I'm rowing. Also, the data panel kind of slides on to the top of the machine and sits between your knees. If you bump it while rowing, it can get loose or pop off. But overall, this is an excellent machine, well worth the money.

Another buyer with a broken filter

I bought this filter, and it was fine for three months, but then while out shooting it came apart in my hand, meaning the half of the filter that you rotate separated from the half that screws to your lens. The C-clip that holds the two halves together went flying, but I managed to find it. Unfortunately, it ended my shooting day, because the C-clip is coated with a thin oil that splattered all over my lens, and was impossible to remove without a strong cleaner.When I got home, I managed to snap the two halves back together, and managed to clean my lens, but the actual filter is almost impossible to clean, because when you wipe it, your cloth will touch the edge of the filter and pick up more oil, so you end up fouling the glass again.I've contacted the seller to see about a replacement. The filter works well, but could use a bit better QC.

BEWARE!

If you purchase this product from DBROTH, you are receiving a "grey market" item. The filter I received was not a true circulating filter. It was comprised of only one ring, even though the packaging clearly states it to be "circulating." DBROTH was unwilling to exchange it, because I had it a little more than one month-due to extenuating circumstances. I was forced to call HOYA and they determined DBROTH is not an authorized dealer and is purchasing this product from China or somewhere outside the HOYA factory (Japan) to cut costs.

Amazing filter, smooth and easy to use.

This is one of the first filters I have ever purchased and it is well worth the $45. The build quality is great and the effect it has on the camera is irreplaceable. The filters bearing is smooth and has not worn down in the weeks that I have used it heavily. You have to get the filter in the right position for it to have its full effect, though. And if you have an autofocus lens you have to readjust the filter, but this is a minor inconvenience. It is very easy to put on the lens and has an effect unparalleled by any other filter, lens, or photo editing program.

Might as well be window glass

I purchased a Hoya CIR-PL filter on Amazon. I am an experienced photographer and can say with certainty that it doesn't work. At all. Regardless of position of the front element relative to the rear, there is no change in color, saturation, reflection, or any of the other criteria that circular polarizing lenses should correct or effect. In one instance, I was able to take better reflection-free photos through a window with my iPhone than with my Canon EOS Rebel XTi, with the CIR-PL filter on either my EFS 18-55mm lens or EFS IS Ultrasonic 70-300mm lens. In short, the two elements of the filter might as well be made of window glass. FWIW, this particular filter was manufactured in the Phillipines.I wrote to Hoya and am waiting to hear back. I will update when and if I do.

Decent product, made in Philippines instead of Japan (as shown in pic)

The product is of decent quality, and rotating the filter while shooting at 90 degree to the sun light provides the best effect. Did not encounter significant amount of glare even though this is not Hoya HMC coated.Only surprise: display picture for item on Amazon list the item as made in Japan, maybe due to the vendor (DBROTH), but the received product is actually made in Philippine.Overall the product does what it's made to do.

High quality polarizing filter

This is my first polarizing filter, so I can't compare it to other polarizing filters. What I can say is that as I spin it, I can literally watch the reflections in glass disappear, and I can watch the highlights on leaves come back. Also, blue skies get bluer. Works very well.Quality-wise, it's very high quality. It comes in a nice, small, plastic case which is a good place to store my B+W UV Filter while I'm using the Hoya. It's not quite as heavy as the B+W, but it's close.

Not what it used to be

I purchased my oven in June '09 hoping it would be the same excellent quality of my former (same model) oven. I am very disappointed in the construction of thin, poorly insulated metal causing excessive EXTERIOR heat. You cannot touch this machine once heated. The motor is noisey, it rattles continuously, and the expansion/contraction sounds continue.The door hinges do not have a "stop" - the door just flops open falling onto the countertop unlike the older ovens. The oven bakes well; the size, both interior & exterior, are excellent being the primary reason I purchased this model again. Over the years I have owned West Bend toasters, roasters & coffee pots always very pleased with the products and loved my former "toaster oven" model 74706!I could not recommend the current West Bend #74706 until construction quality is improved. This is a manufacturer problem, not AMAZON.

Very disappointed in this product

We bought 2 of these units. Both were very loud from the start...but we thought it was the crumb trays, and yes, after bending the trays a bit the noise was less but the doors also hum to the vibration of the oven cooking...now down to the serious stuff...it takes FOREVER to toast. We have now had these units for 1 year and one no longer works properly..the upper burners don't work. We are so upset..paying $100 for this model!!! And that was on sale! Now I see why they went on sale.,..,probably had so many returns. I figure it's been a year so we will not be able to return the unit. Our loss, so I just have to go on web sites and give this product the lowest rating so others don't waste money.
