1	Great workout after a csection	This workout was just what I needed after my csection. It was gentle enough that you could workout without hurting your cut-up nerve endings and difficult enough that you could feel it working. Erin O'brien is super sweet too--she talks about being gentle on your body after child birth and taking it as slowly as you need to. She recognizes that your body isn't ready for a hard-core workout but at the same time doesn't make it too easy.	positive
0	Works better for me as a body cleanser...	This soap seemed to give my complexion a matte finish, although it did next to nothing for acne. I'm now using it as a body cleanser, just so it doesn't go to waste. It prevents bacne, but I won't go to the trouble of purchasing this product again.	negative
0	Eh,	I bought several bars, I don't think it really helped. Plus you go around smelling like rotten eggs, no joke. Lathers well though.	negative
1	The Power of Sulfur	I thank the men and young children of the third world countries who make this product possible. Without the back breaking toils of their work I would not have an answer to the persistent body acne that plagues me even now in my thirties. This bar of soap, fast becoming prohibitively expensive, is like a bar of gold wrapped discretely in a cardboard box that somehow works at rendering flesh eating bacterias ineffective and extinct. A mere two days after my shipment arrived the skin of my body is back to its fleshly healthy palor. Pink, tight and blemish free. My next move will be to dunk my entire body into a pool of luke-warm sulfur.	positive
0	Only has Games 1 & 2	I'm not sure who's fault is it, but the DVD only had the first two of the five games for this match. When Amazon sent a replacement, it had the same problem. I e-mailed NCAA OnDemand to inquire, but they never e-mailed me back.	negative
1	Great comic.	Yes comic not manga, Adam Warren is a cracker, lets leave it at that. Either way the comic series (compiled in one volume here) is fantastic for fans of BGC. It adds a sharper, more cyberpunk view of the world in general, Europe, and Genom alike. Some funny moments mixed with dark humor and plain horror. In my opinion this is Warrens best work, and I loved Empowered and Dirty Pair. Any fan of BGC or cyberpunk would do well to get this. It also re-affirms that Priss and the Replicants were Retro-Thrash instead of 80's pop like the english dub of the original series leads you to think (uggh, first wave dubbing).	positive
0	"Grand Mal" Lives Up To Its Name	A "Grand Mal" is actually a type of severe seizure, one of which I almost had when I read this story. The literal Latin translation is "Big Bad," which is also quite adequate to describe this trashy little thing. This is camp in the extreme. The story (if there is one) relies on sheer stupidity and lunacy to drive itself along. Without spoiling the comic, suffice it to say that its explanations for events before, and pertaining to, the "Bubblegum Crisis" series are lame, biased, and unbelievable, at best. The only redeeming value is that it features a series that has a startlingly small number of comics with it. The art is sort of lacking, too.	negative
0	Poor.	Grand Mal is awful, fans of the anime series [Bubblegum Crisis] will be up in arms and for those who aren't fans the comic is rubbish and not worth buying. The reasons why it is so poor are manifold but several things stand out: The characters are crude and drawn (literally as well as metaphorically) with thick black lines, the plot is confused and boring, with several obvious loop-holes, the writer tries to provide an explaination for several things that occur in the anime series but he makes reference to things that don't exist in the series at all... And most damning of all the author tries to write poetry in parts which comes across as silly because he is not a good poet, nor a good writer.The list goes on... In short Grand Mal is a waste of money which neophytes will find confusing, fans will hate and comic collectors won't want because it isn't collectable. This one for the completist only.	negative
0	Avoid at all costs	This comic is terrible, in fact that's doesn't go far enough. The story is rubbish and puts in details that are not supported by the OVA series. The charaters are bland and boring and in some cases the spelling of their names has been changed. Adam Warren cannot, no matter how hard he tries draw otaku manga, he should give up and try something else. And he can't write neither.	negative
1	works well - 1 year later	Easy to install. Works well on my RAV. Drove 1000 miles and had lots of bugs on the front end but nothing on my hood. Woot!*********** 1 YEAR UPDATE! *************One year later and the product still looks good. No fading. One of the little bumper sticker things came off in the weather but it does not touch the body at all so I'm not concerned about it. All in all, I've been very happy with this purchase.	positive
0	Broken already!	Gave to my granddaughter for Christmas. Only worked for a short time. Of course, too late to return! Would not recommend buying.	negative
0	Very Disappointed	Although I am constantly checking the reviews for products I purchase, I almost never write one myself. However, this time I am so disappointed not only with the product but also the manufacturer that I am compelled to leave one. This toy was purchased for my son for Christmas, however by March the toy had completely stopped working. We changed the batteries, but to no avail. We have since attempted to contact Manhattan Toy to see if they would rectify the situation or suggest a way to fix the toy. They NEVER responded to a single one of our messages. The only reason I gave this toy two stars is because my son still loves to play with the animals. If the toy only worked, I think we would be giving it five stars. But as it is, it broke within three months and the company has failed to even show a scintilla of customer service.	negative
0	Has design flaws and broke after a month	This toy is adorable and I think it is an excellent learning tool. The animals are sweet and the voice that states each ones name is appealingly young. However, the door never stays open which is frustrating for myself and my one year old. The on/off switch is unnecessarily hidden. Then, it suddenly stopped working after about a month of play. New batteries were put in and I got one more monkey sound, then it died again. So disappointing!	negative
0	big top sounds	a waste of my hard to come by money--- I am on a fixed income and bought this item for my 10 month old grandson for Christmas. Really a disappointment, good idea-BUT he can't even hear the animal sounds because they are so low..... If I could have taken it away from him, I definitely would have returned it for a refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	negative
0	total misinformation	The author bases his "facts" on outdated myths and urban legends rather than on anything real about any of the groups covered. The chapter on TOPY is one large mistake from start to finish, obviously using information gathered completly from mid-1980's tabloids. This books reads much more like a Christian propaganda tract than as a real guide for understanding anything.Not only does this book insult the groups it is supposed to be about, but it also does an injustice to police officers who are truly interested in learning about these practices and to how best to deal with a situation where encountering them. Anyone looking to learn the truth about any of these groups or practices in an unbiased fashion would be well advised to look elsewhere.	negative
0	Total waste of time	This is just another rehash of old urban legends. Don't waste your time or money.	negative
0	A Supreme Court says otherwise	A friend referred me to the book in question. Horrible read. Most importantly, how is it earth centered traditions that have God and spiritual evolution at their center end up lumped with Satanism? The Supreme Court upheld the rights of worshippers of indigenous faiths. The U.S. Library of Congress no longer catalogs indigenous book topics with satanic topics. A number of medical associations and pharmaceutical companies work with traditional priests to learn more about herbal medicinal treatments of modern illnesses, any more questions? Any self respecting law officer with real insight into the Santeria or Wiccan community wouldnt have written such a book. The author is out of material gain. Period. My suggestion: Throw it in the trash, with all the other racist and bigoted books on religion.	negative
1	Great debut	Impossible Recording Machine's debut Axioms is an interesting piece of work. The songs, although broken into three groups(these parts are still intermixed) blend together well.Standouts are 'Compulsive 3,' 'The Bells," 'Safety in Numbers,' & 'The Soft Wire.'Both 'The Bells' and 'Safety in Numbers' are among the songs on the album that have vocals (only select songs do) and stand out as intelligent sounding pop songs. The songs are not only listener friendly but also invigoratingly fresh, not the kind of recycled sound so common to current pop music.'Copulsive 3' is a fast powerfully energetic track that could be considered a 'dance' tune in the club scene except for one fact, it is humanly impossible to keep up with this track.Overall a great album, has a few slow points, but for the most past is an amazing conceptual disc and I can't wait to see where this leads.	positive
1	Impressive!	I originally heard about IRM from the Sister Machine Gun website, I went to the site, listened to some of their music and was quite impressed. I bought this CD as soon as it was released and was blown away by the music. IRM brings together many different styles, some classic, some experimental to develop very interesting soundscapes. Anyone who likes industrial with a kind of rockish feal to it will love this CD.	positive
1	A refreshing perspective of ancient American culture	'Twilight Moon' was a very enjoyable read. I was captivated by the characters and the environment that was created in the story. Being well travelled in the four corners area, I found that the book was well researched. I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in or curiousity of the ancient peoples of the American southwest.	positive
1	What A Voice!!!	This is a great recording. This CD is soothing, inspiring, and uplifting. Each track involves you to the point that you find yourself trying to sing along after only a few bars of each song.I truly enjoy the marvelous efforts of Trish on this CD. I look forward to hearing many more recordings from her in the future!	positive
1	FOR A SHINE THAT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR	For a mirror shine and one that doesn't disappear on the rim of a glass with the first sip my choice is MAC. Lipglass feels good on your lips, as if it contained some emollients. And (this is a big AND) it's not tacky or sticky.The colors are a veritable palette of shades to suit every mood, occasion and skin tone. They range from a playfully innocent baby-doll nude to a dramatic dark diva red.Another plus (and this is a big PLUS following the big AND) MAC Lipglass is so price accessible that you can easily pick a bouquet of these delicious shades. Try adding a Lipglass over a country cousin lipstick for a wow impact.Enjoy!Gail Cooke	positive
0	Save your money	HOME AT MAYBERRY is a collection of SEASON THREE episodes that have been available (public domain) in various formats (VHS and DVD) for quite some time. Season three has recently been announced as available this August (I believe the 16th). I have already pre-ordered the set and am awiting the release of seasons four through eight.Unless you are totally without patience, and have to have it NOW, I would recommend waiting for the August release date and not spend money only get the entire season again in two months.There are, of course, some wonderful episodes in this set, but with fans of TAGS that goes without saying.I would not recommend purchasing HOME AT MAYBERRY or any other TAGS "collections" at this time.	negative
0	Bad joke?	This gotta be a joke. Other 64MB MP3 players with expansion, from Now Evolution, etc., cost as little as 1/5 as much, and has much better sound. I truly think this player is a cruel joke for people who know nothing about technology.	negative
1	Appeasing the Saudis is the road to doom!	As writers such as Robert Baer, Dore Gold and Christopher Catherwood have shown in their respective books, to appease the Saudis is the sure road to doom and destruction. We need to be much tougher on our supposed friends - with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan heading the list. Read this book and the those by the other 3 authors I just mentioned and your view of the real world will be totally transformed!	positive
0	There are many other books to read	The Department of State is the oldest cabinet department in the US. With over 28 bureaus and 15 or more offices that each conduct important services to the government, after reading this book, one would think that the employees are inept and useless. Based on a few bad experiences that American citizens had overseas and a few well known incidents (9/11, Saddam and such), this book tried to show that this is an agency out to destroy America. To say that since Mrs. Jones of Topeka cooked spoiled sausage therefore the Jimmy Dean company is out to poison all of its consumers would be the equivalent anaolgy after reading this book.	negative
0	very silly book	It is hard to know whether to laugh or to cry at this very silly book. Reading it one would be hard pressed to know that it was the entire USG (remember that photo of Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand?), especially the Defense Department and CIA, who were whole heartedly in Saddam Hussein's corner up until 1990 (under two Republican Presidents - Reagan and Bush I!). That it was the White House (again under Reagan) that sold arms to the fanatics in Iran (Iran Contra). That CIA and DOD armed the crazies in Afghanistan to the teeth in order to kill Russians, setting the stage for Taliban, Bin Ladin, etc. That it is the military/intelligence establishment and the US oil industry (all three sacred cows to the likes of Mowbray) which has had a cozy relationship with the likes of the Saudis, etc. Beating up on the US State Department, the weak sister in Washington politics compared to DOD and the intelligence establishment, is like some punk kid beating up a toddler.	negative
0	Dangerous Diplomacy	Dangerous Diplomacy related to Saudi royal family endangering America's National Security is the another hoax/cabal I have recently come across. America's National Security is more threaten by the neonazi-zionist axis and their civilian moles in Pentagon and their selected robot in the white house. Writer seems to me as acting like a spokesmen for MOSAD propaganda division chief, in Washington D.C.The author's communication is miserable at best. Some valid arguments, which he most certainly did his best to loose by resorting to so many negative stereiotypes which are old and commonly used by the jewish lobby and their cronies to smoke screen the facts.While I was never fond of Saudi royal family or any so-called royal family...but trying to relate them directly to America's Security is nothing but dirty politics.I would love to read this writer's next book "Truth About AIPAC & Their Hidden Pac's in U.S.A." if any,	negative
1	A good overview, shame about the editing	Mark Carlotto is a name closely associated with the Face on Mars controversy ever since the early 1980s. He writes well, dispassionately outlining the difficulties he and other researchers have faced in getting to the bottom of what is one of the most profound mysteries to confront us - is there evidence of intelligent design on the Cydonia plains of Mars? The main drawback however, to what is an excellent book is the annoying spelling errors that are a tad too numerous for my liking. Also, the pictures would have more impact if the paper quality had been better, or if they were presented in colour. Which is why I'm giving the book only 4 stars - better quality, spelling, editing and it would warrant 5 stars.	positive
1	Cydonia IS Proof	I see a few comments about the editing, thats not the point. Mark Carlotto has made one of the best and most logical arguments for ancient ruins on Mars. Different then Hoagland; Carlotto gives fair airing of the different opinions, and you don't have to be an astro/geologist to see those pyramid structures are not natural. Truly fact is stranger than fiction, and the true history of this solar system appears to be more amazing than we imagined! I highly recommend this book.	positive
1	I like this so far...	I received this a few days ago and I honestly like the way it feels on my hair...not crazy oily and it smells very good. I like the tangling sensation on my scalp...makes it feel like it's working :P So far so good!	positive
1	Great product	Shared the product with my daughter would order again thanks again if sale come up soon let me know Thanks	positive
1	A Guidebook for when you return	I am a frequent visitor to Vienna. While I'm there, Iuse a guidebook that focuses on food and drink, a citymap and one of the weekly papers (Der Falter). But whenI return, I enjoy the rumination and reminiscence ofthis book.I'm particularly pleased that it incorporates informationabout the natural setting of the city and I find the culturalinformation to be useful if brief. A great book for reminiscence.--Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE andthe forthcoming novel bang BANG from Kunati Books.ISBN 9781601640005	positive
0	Pretty but hard to use	This is perhaps the worst-arranged guidebook I've encountered. It skips baseline information in preference for beautiful illustrations. There are many nuggets of information about the city's history and culture - including 11 pages on its birds and squirrels - but you're left not knowing that the city is divided into numbered districts, that you have to get your subway tickets time-stamped, and how to tip. Impractical, frustrating and not worth the room in your suitcase.	negative
0	loose language, weak Mathematics	There is no fixing for this book. pick any page, and Every other sentence is inaccurate or vaguep.216, "...the thing we are measuring may have changed..."p.216, "...each time we measure something, we are randomly selecting a different realization..."p.234, equation 68, he makes a change of integration variable, and gets it wrong.	negative
1	Very sharp and LIGHT knife!	I have bought this knife after a LOT of reading online and a lot of store shopping to try them out.This knife is very light compared to many others (esp. German ones), the blade is also narrower than them. It took a little to get used to the longer blade but once used to it, you don't want to go back to a smaller one (as long as your cutting board is large enough).I liked it so much that I bought one more for my mother and she like it better than her Victorinox. You won'T be disappointed with this knife unless you are looking for a heavier knife type.	positive
1	PUTTING A SHINE ON AN OLD KING'S CROWN	This new definitive bio of Michael "King of Baseball" Kelly adds new luster to the crown of this early Red Sox player. Kelly's life and game were those of legend. Unfortunately, the passage of time has relegated that legend to the history and statistics books. With this bio, Kelly has been resurrected as a high living and loving human being; a human face has been added to the bronze plaque in baseball's Hall of Fame. Well researched and documented, filled with rare images assembled in one place for the first time, this book throbs with the life of a beloved record maker/breaker, Michael "King" Kelly.	positive
1	Canada's secret treasure	We enjoyed these 50 years ago when visiting relatives in our northern neighbor, and being able to purchase them here is great!	positive
0	Product Was Watery and Had a Strange Odor	Nioxin has discontinued this product, so the containers I got may have been old. It was shipped during a hot spell, so it is possible that the product was damaged by the heat during shipping. In any event, I was unable to use the product. (I have used it for years so I know what it was supposed to be like.) The seller promptly refunded my full cost including shipping and apologized that I was disappointed. The seller also didn't require me to waste my time sending back an unusable product.	negative
0	Not good for fine hair, almost like glue	This is heavy and makes my hands sticky when applying it. Nioxin is for fine and/or thinning hair. This doesn't "shine" it just takes the fluff out of my hair and makes it lay flat. Not at all what I was expecting. In general, I love their products, have been using them for years.. but will never order this again.	negative
0	Buyers Beware !!!	Unless I'm mistaken, this is only the second volume of a two-volume set. See my comments under the other "Exposition of First Peter by John Brown" published by Sovereign Grace Publishers and sold on Amazon.	negative
1	Jazz from a swinging era. Buck Clayton	This superb CD is another version of the All Star groups, so popular in the 50`s & 60`s. A must for any truelover of good solid swinging Jazz. Most of the musicians are stars in every sense of the word. Aan all are ontop form here.	positive
1	Jeep Wanglerr highland rubber mats	Searched all over for mats that fit 2003 jeep wrangler. These Highland rubber mats fit very well. Worth the purchase and will protect carpets from mud and snow.	positive
1	Do-all golf tool	This is one neat little gadget. It is good for cleaning grooves in your clubs while playing and perfect for repairing ball marks. Perfectly round golf balls must play, and certainly putt, better and this tells you which balls to pitch in the shag bag. Haven't tried the ball-retriever portion; a little afraid it might come off and I don't want to replace it. Small and easy to carry, but all plastic makes you worry a bit about breaking. Still - Good tool, excellent price. Get one for your golfing buddies.	positive
1	LCD Projection Screen Benefits	During the process of shopping for a new HDTV, I was dead set on getting a plasma or LCD big screen. After seeing this TV in a local store, I was floored by the picture quality, which was better than Plasma or flat screen LCD.Here is the deal with Plasma versus this TV. The LCD projection technology is solid, with brights and darks coming through without pixelation or loss of clarity. The Plasma technology is still new, and more often than not, there are issues with the picture of an affordable plasma, including bright darks and washed out colors. This LCD Projection screen nails all of the things that make a TV great and it has a small footprint. Plasma? I would rather spend the money on this, than three times the price for a plasma that is not up to snuff.If you wish to have a full review of the benefits of the LCD projection versus the plasma, check out some of the reviews ...	positive
0	Zenith D60WLCD "Buyer Beware"	I've had set for approximately 6 months, well not exactly. The local Zenith repair service picked up my set after 5 months of use. The lower screen developed blue, then green horizontal display problem. The local service has requested $2,500 in parts to repair, however the parts required to repair the set are not available, I'm told, until mid-February. No set for Xmas, New Years, despite efforts to press repairs at Zenith and repair service. Upon request, it takes 2 days for a supervisor from Zenith to return a phone call. I purchased an extended warranty but did not expect the problems or service levels I've experienced. Unfortunately, I can not rate any higher than 1 Star.	negative
0	Yeah, it use to be a 5 star when i first bought it also...	When I first bought this tv, it was one of the best you could get for the price. Right after it hit the one year mark, the bulb went bad. After I got it replaced, I started seeing yellow spots in the bottom corners, and now 2/3 of the screen has a yellow discoloration with blue spots now showing up. It keeps getting worse. sure i would recommend this tv too when I first bought it. But like most of the other reviews that owned the tv for a year, I also have to say DONT BUY THIS TV! or there is a really good chance you will regret buying it too. Why take the chance?	negative
0	Do not buy	Just before my 1 year warranty expired I was having a large blue streak run across the bottom of my screen. No on site tech available so I had to take the TV in myself. It turns out the $2500 light engine was going out and I was supposed to have the TV back in 5-6 days. Zenith contacted me after 30 days and said they would get me approved for a new TV or give me my money back since the part was not available. It has now been an additional 15 days and no word from Zenith. No call backs. I am starting to wonder if I will get anything at all. I sincerely don't want another Zenith and would prefer to get the cash so I can buy a TV with better customer support. I really don't like the thought of going through this again in a year from now as it seems that Zenith is having a lot of similar problems.	negative
0	unless you like blue and yellow discoloration, don't buy	This tv seemed like the best I could get for the cost at the time, and for the first year I believed that. Then, shortly after the 1 year warranty ran out my tv started developing yellow spots around the corners and eventually spread through the whole screen. Now that yellow has taken over blue spots have started developing in the same pattern that yellow did. The warranty is expired, and for the price quote I received to have my tv repaired, I'd be better off buying a tv of a different brand. This is obviously a manufacture defect as many others have the same problem, but why won't zenith correct their mistake? They put out a product that severly lacks in quality, and they don't stand behind their product and support their customers. Because of this they've lost me and many other loyal customers.	negative
0	Blue Haze - In the shop also, for 2 MONTHS	After calling LG/Zenith I got the 'we're not responsible but we'll fix your set for free' certified letter. The local repair company began installing the new light engine in my living room but found after complete disassembly that the new engine was not correct and would not work. He loaded up my set and took it to get another engine, he claims to be on the 4th light engine from LG since each one is either wrong for the set or won't work upon installation. I hope they take care of this no matter if the problem is their parts or their choice of repairman or I'll be the one starting the class action!	negative
0	Anyone know about a lawsuit for this crap tv	I paid 3k dls for this tv when i bought it from circuit city was the best tv outthere but soon i started experiencing this blue haze on the right corner of my tv and now pretty much half of the screen is blue i need to find out if lg/zenith has any lawsuit in any state for this problem or recall my tv is the 60" d60dlcd so if you are looking to buy a big screen DONT BUY this Somebody in CA has the same problem pls contact me at [email protected] thanks	negative
0	Should have bought a sony	It seems that i'm not the only one that has had a problem with this tv. I've been through two of these tv's, the first within 3 months, still under warranty thank god!! and now the second one is needing repair not even 2 years later. Of course it's not under warranty anymore so now i'm in the same boat as everyone else. A tv with a bunch of blue lines and such.	negative
0	This TV is an absolute Lemon	I like most of the other people am extremely dissapointed in this TV. I had a great reception for the first year and litterally less than a month after the warranty was up The bottom started to turn all blue. I have now owned this set for 1 1/2 years and 40 percent of the set is blue and now it is streaking blue on other parts of the screen. This was a $3200 TV set when we bought it. I think there should be a class action law suit, this is unjustifiable. People do not pay this much money for a TV that does not last even 2 years.	negative
0	Junk	Please do not by this product. After 1 1/2 years blue line appears, then slowly takes over the entire screen. Price to repair, $3100.00. They will not stand behind there lemons, and therefore will lose in the long run. By word of mouth and the internet this could hurt Zenith & LG for a long time. GOOD. The only reason they got one star is because there is no zero to pick from on this site.	negative
0	I was ripped off too.	I purchased the 44" version of this TV back in June 04. Within 6 months the dreaded blue line appeared at the bottom. An LG rep on another forum confirmed that excessive heat causes the plastic lens mounts to warp after awhile.(He has since deleted all his posts) I can't post a URL but do a search on E44W46LCD + TriodeGuy and you will find my posts on the other forum. There is a fix for the blue line problem that doesn't require light engine replacement. Please see my posts for details. There is also mention from another poster of a class action lawsuit in Jersey.	negative
0	Class Action Lawsuit Overdue	I have the 42" version of this set. Light engine replaced three months after purchase....now, 24 months later, blue haze slowly taking over the set. I also contacted LG customer service, and got a response from.......Neil......Neil must have a great job. Wait for complaints to come in and then hit 'send' on the scripted response that offers no help whatsoever. My email was EXACTLY the same as the response Freddie got. This is criminal!!!!	negative
0	Class action lawsuit?????	My husband and I purchased two D60WLCD 60" Zenith televisions. After the warranty had expired both TV's developed neon blue spots in the bottom corner which soon grew to cover the entire bottom 1/3 of the screen. It was $1800 each to have these repaired. I contacted LG Electronics and was slways forwarded to Danny (they don't give out last names). Never once did he answer the phone. I always spoke to his answering machine and never once did he return my call. The authorized company that repaired the TV's told me they were well aware of the problem. Now I'm on pins and needles waiting for the repaired set to begin developing the blue spots.Does anyone know of a class action lawsuit or maybe I should start one. This television has been a major disappointment.	negative
0	Not good enough...	While the idea behind these products from Wild Republic is a good one, unfortunately the construction and quality are extremely poor. We'd had these items for less than a few hours before arms and limbs began breaking off. If you can find them, Animal Planet makes a series of similar playsets that are of much higher quality and that our son enjoys more. Otherwise, better to do without entirely than waste money on these cheap, flimsy toys.	negative
0	Arctic Animals	Toys are very light weight and they break easy. Not very durable for classroom use. My school kids enjoyed playing with them but they fell apart.	negative
1	5 Star unit - 2 Star remote	With all of the features (RBG output - sub woofer... etc)the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of theremote control. The most used keys, "play pause slow stop"are the smaller than the number keys.. go figure...	positive
0	JPEG bug	I bought this unit for the jpeg compatibility. It will not play all of the files if you put more than 15-20 files in a folder! The last several photos won't show up on their menu!I have tried two of these players with the same results. I have sent a copy of one of my jpeg CDRs to SAMPO US tech support and they confirmed the problem but had no answer. They sent my CDR to Taiwan for evaluation a month ago but I"ve had no response so I'm sending my second unit back.If you want jpeg compatibility I suggest you wait until the major brands have it or you take your own CDR's to test before you buy.	negative
0	It's Almost Like An Apex DVD Player	Overall the DVD player is ok for the low end DVD player. Its picture quality is no match for the Sony or the Panasonic DVD player. The MP3 menu looks cheap, but it is easy to use. I got this DVD player for about six weeks and the LCD starts to have problem. Sometime while playing a movie or music CD, the LCD just automatically turns off for no reason. If you have a little extra cash then buy other popular brand, but if you don't have alot of money then you should consider this player!	negative
1	Must have just for lens protection	UV filters are good for daytime shots or shots with loads of sun and they also act as a lens protector, saving the actual lens glass as it is much cheaper to replace a damaged filter verses a lens.	positive
0	Very disappointed with this filter	This filter could produce very big yellow circles in direct or close to direct lights. It ruins many of my pictures already. Don't buy this. You should spend more on a filter.	negative
0	Too Short - $59.95 for 13 minutes!	I purchased this DVD to help my son learn about DNA for his science project. While it was pricey, I really wanted him to learn about DNA and this looked like it fit the bill. While the DVD was very educational and well done, I was aghast that it was only 13 minutes! I kept looking for another chapter on the menu - but no, it is 13 minutes for $59.95!!! I should have read the product details more closely. I liked the DVD, but the price is exorbitant!	negative
1	Mr.Jim	I use this on my Guitar. Excellent product and I really like it. Easy to see and use. Highly recommended.	positive
0	Ok, but not great	I'm not real impressed with this tuner. First, it's slow to pick up which string youre on. Second, it can't seem to make up it's mind which string it thinks it's tuning. Third, doesn't seem to want to pick up the low "E" string. Fourth, doesn't want to clamp on the head of my Ovation. It's better than no tuner at all, but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's your only choice, or youre low on funds.	negative
0	Not too bad, but not good enough for me.	My old tuner was broken and I bought this tuner for my guitar. If you do not use the tuner very often, this tuner might be okay. However, if you use the tuner very often like every day, this tuner makes you frustrated because this tuner does not catch the pitch from your instrument exactly sometimes. If you try couple times, finally this catch exact pitch. I will not buy this tuner for next time.	negative
1	Works suprisingly well	I'm amazed at how well this device works. I've played guitar for many years and always tuned by ear, but so many times it seemed that I just couldn't get certain strings tuned right. I finally decided to buy an electronic tuner. The first time I used it, I thought it wasn't working right because I cross-checked the tuning by ear and, individually, some of the strings didn't sound right. I figured that I should give it a chance, however, and started playing and was blown away by how great the guitar sounded. I've never tried any other electronic tuner so I can't comment on how this one compares to others. This was a worthwhile purchase and a good value, as far as I'm concerned.	positive
0	Not accurate enough	This tuner is not sufficiently accurate for any instrument that uses paired strings that are tuned to the same pitch. Specifically mandolins and hammered dulcimers. The tuner will show each string as being at the correct pitch but your ear or a more accurate tuner will let you know that the two pitches do not match. If it isn't getting both strings to the same pitch, then tuning a violin or guitar is not getting your single string to the correct pitch some portion of the time.	negative
0	junk	Worked for a few months then NOT. Will not ever find E (6th string) on my guitar. Trash. Bought a Fender tuner that works GREAT. Don't buy this, get the fender instead at 1/2 the price with a set of picks thrown in to boot...Fender JF-009-1160-000-Kit01 FT-004 All Instrument Clip-on Chromatic Tuner -360 Degree Back-Lit Display	negative
0	Can I give this zero stars?	This tuner is crap! I have tried it on 3 electric guitars and 1 acoustic and if it even recognizes the note, it seems to think G and D are the same note. I had a Crafter and a Planet Waves that were cheaper and worked better!	negative
0	Choppy Picture & Sound Cuts in and out	Not sure if this is just my unit or a design defect. About a half hour into watching a DVD the system seems to get overloaded and the sound startes to cut off and on and the picture gets choppy (frames freeze) and finally the DVD stops playing. Is anyone else having this problem?	negative
0	Bleh	I had to use this book at the university, and I hated it. First of all, the prose is of a highly clunky academic style that's laughable to anyone with a decent command of the Russian language, like Vasys was on something when he wrote it. Second, the subject matter is both boring and dated. Honest to God, we are so tired of reading about Russia's climate and the history of Kievan Rus'. It's been done, guys. Over and over and over again. You'd get a better command of contemporary Russian culture and language by reading some contemporary pop lit, of which there is plenty available for kindle. But if you must have a graded Russian reader, use one from the University of Chicago series. They, at least, are interesting and well-written.	negative
1	I enjoyed reading the book and loved the characters.	I enjoyed reading "DARK RIDER",and I loved Cassandra and Jared. The chemistry between them was electrifying. I think Cassie tried a little too hard not to fall for Jared, even when it becomes obvious that he could not resist her. It was Iris Johansen best book I have read so far	positive
0	not what I expected	this was a little too dark to suit me I read some of her previous books and now I remember why it's been so long since I read another	negative
0	skip this one	First of all, the reviewer before me did not even refer to the correct book in her review. This book has nothing to do w/ there being 2 gods. She is refering to Dark Rider, another book by the author.That aside, this book is just alot of bickering and sex. Neither main character is especially sympathetic and Cassie's breasts had a bizarre tendency to swell every time she became aroused, which may have been useful in case of a shipwreck during the voyage from Hawaii to England, but is otherwise just annoying!	negative
0	JUST WASN'T THAT GOOD	Sorry, but this book just wasn't good. I think the first problem came early on when Jared compares Cassie to a child in terms of her body. This really turns me off because early on she acts like a child also. He really thinks she's 14! That's not romantic @ all. And, ok, I know it was island culture and all but having Cassie run around Topless, just isn't romantic. It's like leave something to the imagination! And, if she is going to be topless, please don't let her body be that of a 14-year-old, and not voluptous/sexy. That way it'd be easier for me to see the initial appeal Jared sees in her.	negative
1	A Great Album	This album is definitely recommended for fans of broken social scene, which I am not. However, I love this album. What separates it from their label mates is that BSS albums are only about 85% lyrical, and mostly musical experiments which, to a degree, work. But I'm not really a fan.The Most Serene Republic captures the heart and carefree stlye of BSS without sounding like a clone. Every song on the album rocks in its own way. Some with lound shouting, some with rocking electric guitar. Listen to the samples on this page and judge for yourself. I happen to think that this is one of the most overlooked albums of the year, hopefully it'll pick up some steam soon. Definitely check it out.PS. The comparison to Ben Gibbard's vocals is not an accurate one. These are more group-oriented vocals. When they are solo, it sounds more like a mix between Radiohead and The Flaming Lips....again, without being a clone of either.	positive
1	Looking forward to season 2	Great show. I really enjoy the production values, but most importantly you can really see that Dhani Jones absolutely loves what he is doing. Whether he is training in the local sport, eating the local cuisine, getting beat up, gasping for air cause he sucks at a sport, or visiting a landmark of cultural significance, he shows a sense of humor along with a but of competitive edge. I also like how he gets drunk in a couple of episodes. Plus as a man, I can take a few fashion cues from Dhani. This guy is pretty stylish. More so than Bourdain and Zimmeran. If Dhani needed to improve on something it would be his voice overs. They need to sound more natural and less scripted. But thats a nitpick. And at $19 for a whole season, you can't beat it. I wish Travel would put out blu rays as I know this show rocks in hidef!!! There's more countries and sports to tackle so I am definitely lookin forward to season 2. If you watch this I'm sure you'll agree.	positive
1	My first Kat Martin	This was the first book of Kat Martin's that I have read and found it to be entertaining. She kept my interest with her lively characters, and as a result I will probably try another of her books.	positive
1	An entertaining read.	I liked the fire between Catherine and Dominic. I also liked the way the author described Gyspy life. It had more detail than any other story I've read about them. The author humanized the characters, especially Dominic. The only thing that troubled me was his vow never to have children just to spite his father.	positive
0	Good bed, but the rails are small	We purchased this bed for my mother who has a cancer-related neurological disorder (paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration). The bed is good and inexpensive, however the bed rails we received are quite a bit smaller than they look on the picture. With the ones we have she's easily able to get her legs out of the bed and fall, which means we will need to purchase a second set of rails to fully close the gap. If not for this problem (which is a big safety issue) I would give this product five stars. If you need the extra safety from the bed rails, however, I suggest you either look for something else or consider purchasing a separate set of rails.	negative
1	How it all really is	After finishing this beautiful book for the 2nd time, I made the decision to send a hardback copy for my newborn grand-daughter so her daddy can read to her and so she (and he) can know how it all is. While reading it I entered what I can now say as the "bliss space". Hopefully in everyone's life there comes a time when you "find it". For me, this book is it.	positive
1	Perfect shape!	This CD arrived quickly and was still in the original factory wrapping! The CD is flawless...not a scratch. I love this album. Poor Karen though :(	positive
1	One of the best CD's	I am actually listening to this CD right now. Karen Carpenter has such a unique voice. When she sings those really low notes...it's just so awesome! If you love romance songs, this CD is great! I just absolutely love it!	positive
1	The early years	This CD represents all of the hit singles from the Carpenters in the time period shown above. (excluding "Merry Christmas, Darling) I would suggest that this album, although it contains great music, is incomplete even for those looking for the hits and nothing else. However, the songs are good, and, of course, as always, perfectly sung by Karen.	positive
0	Yet another pedantic, theoretical, inaccessable tome	An awkward compilation of essays heavily weighted towards CMM-based process improvement as it has been practiced within the aerospace industry. The book devotes hundreds of pages to esoteric discussions of standards and models without managing to say much of anything about how to actually do quality assurance. Heavily biased towards SEI and the CMM, in 700+ pages the book doesn't even mention alternatives such as ISO SPICE. An overpriced paperweight.	negative
0	Impossible to Read	Schulmeyer is the Shakespeare of our generation. His work is filled with quality information that is hidden within a language that only closely resembles English. If you can make it through a chapter without falling asleep there is a lot of good information between these two covers, but it could really use a SparkNotes summary.	negative
0	naive, simplistic, and general	Mr. Dietrich, whatever his academic credentials, joins the ranks of many a China scholar that so romantasizes China that careful research and balance are rejected. This book is so hopelessly simplistic and over-generalized that its almost useless; documentation is almost non-existent, and his analysis of the events of modern China are reduced to a 6th grade level with scant detail and almost no evidence. The "achievements" of the communists in China are very romanticized and if one wishes to really understand the last 50 years of China's history, this book is not the way. Save your money!	negative
1	Perfect !!!! works like a charm	I bought some wide akro bins - and these dividers were SUPER Perfect. They work and snap in like a charm. They're a great design. If you're bumping the dividers, you may want to use some rubber cement that's not permanent to help keep them in... but I haven't seen anyone make a quality product like this!!!!	positive
0	What there is, is both good and VERY overpriced.	After reading through this tiny tome twice, I have decided that; what there is, is good. However, for the price I would have expected at least 5 times as much text. There just isn't much here. Sadly.	negative
0	So Sad to Say ... One Page Ruined It All!	This delightful book is one of the most imaginative I've read in ages. Unfortunately in the process of naming and describing the five fingers, it reads: "The Dirty Digits ... This bunch of middle fingers just stands around. Thats bad enough." Then it refers to the little fingers as "Hell's Pinkies". I am no where close to being a prude, but I choose not to read that to my grandaughter. She'll find out about such things soon enough, but I won't be the one to introduce it to her. I returned the book, and am so disappointed that I am unable to share the other 45 pages of cleaver words and pictures with her.	negative
1	Hilarious	this was the greatest book ive read for entertainment(and by entertainment i mean its funny). David vermencheli wrote a great book. Its hilarious i read it at scholl and all my friends wanted to read it after meby it!	positive

0	Sloppy, careless	Once again, I cannot get far enough into a Jecks book to tell whether or not he can tell a good story. He is so uncaring about facts that trying to get through the the first scene-setting just turns me off. I used to think it was his inexperience. Not so: apparently he just doesn't care about authenticity. I won't bother with Jecks again.	negative
1	Jimmy Breslin, Alive and Well!	I became interested in Breslin's book because a good friend passed away this year from a brain aneurysm. My friend did not know he had one and did not know what hit him when it burst. Breslin was lucky. He had symptoms, had it diagnosed, did his homework, and went to the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. There he was operated on by Dr. Spetzler, one of the world's greatest neurosurgeons.Jimmy's life flashes by throughout the book and we meet a lot of the characters he has been acquainted with. But the focus of the book is the anatomical anomaly known as an aneurysm.Jimmy takes us inside the O.R. and we can almost see the great Spetzler as he delicately clamps off the bulging blood vessel in Breslin's brain, a brain which has given us over 40 years of wonderful writing and humor, no matter what you think of his politics.My friend was not lucky, but Jimmy was and so are we all to have him around for awhile.	positive
1	God Saves Breslin and, With That, The Rest of Us	Jimmy Breslin was this close to joining Hemingway, Runyon, Joyce and Behan at that bar up there in the sky. He faces the very real possibility of death with a calmness that even surprises himself. From this calm he is able to reflect on his life: not a small task. This Pulitzer Prize winner regales us with reminiscences of his front row seat at the most delightful and dreadful events of the last 40-odd years. I read all that he has done. This is his best! God saved Breslin. He still has his talent, call it a miracle, and he still plys the trade. Which makes me think he did the rest of us the bigger favor.	positive
1	great back swing	High quality, nice design, good customer service (a piece damaged in shipment was replaced with no hassle). Compared to my old American Sports back swing, on which the nylon finally gave out after 25 years, this is higher quality everywhere, and the curved handles are a handy feature for pulling yourself back to upright position in case you're not balanced perfectly. The only downside is that assembly is not easy or obvious, and the instructions are incomplete and poorly written.	positive
1	Great product--precise settings	...I agree with the other reviewers, very solid, instructions minimal, not portable. A nice feature is that the degree of incline is regulated by steel bars with adjustable quarter inch pins, not a nylon strap. Which means precise control, as you gradually get used to steeper settings, and also different people could easily use the machine and have their own settings....As regards use of such a machine, I believe it is possible to injure oneself easily if one's back and stomach muscles aren't strong. Especially if older it's probably good to build up strength with the yoga poses: locust and cobra first, and begin very gradually with the inversions.	positive

Great workout after a csection

This workout was just what I needed after my csection. It was gentle enough that you could workout without hurting your cut-up nerve endings and difficult enough that you could feel it working. Erin O'brien is super sweet too--she talks about being gentle on your body after child birth and taking it as slowly as you need to. She recognizes that your body isn't ready for a hard-core workout but at the same time doesn't make it too easy.

Works better for me as a body cleanser...

This soap seemed to give my complexion a matte finish, although it did next to nothing for acne. I'm now using it as a body cleanser, just so it doesn't go to waste. It prevents bacne, but I won't go to the trouble of purchasing this product again.

The Power of Sulfur

I thank the men and young children of the third world countries who make this product possible. Without the back breaking toils of their work I would not have an answer to the persistent body acne that plagues me even now in my thirties. This bar of soap, fast becoming prohibitively expensive, is like a bar of gold wrapped discretely in a cardboard box that somehow works at rendering flesh eating bacterias ineffective and extinct. A mere two days after my shipment arrived the skin of my body is back to its fleshly healthy palor. Pink, tight and blemish free. My next move will be to dunk my entire body into a pool of luke-warm sulfur.

Great comic.

Yes comic not manga, Adam Warren is a cracker, lets leave it at that. Either way the comic series (compiled in one volume here) is fantastic for fans of BGC. It adds a sharper, more cyberpunk view of the world in general, Europe, and Genom alike. Some funny moments mixed with dark humor and plain horror. In my opinion this is Warrens best work, and I loved Empowered and Dirty Pair. Any fan of BGC or cyberpunk would do well to get this. It also re-affirms that Priss and the Replicants were Retro-Thrash instead of 80's pop like the english dub of the original series leads you to think (uggh, first wave dubbing).

"Grand Mal" Lives Up To Its Name

A "Grand Mal" is actually a type of severe seizure, one of which I almost had when I read this story. The literal Latin translation is "Big Bad," which is also quite adequate to describe this trashy little thing. This is camp in the extreme. The story (if there is one) relies on sheer stupidity and lunacy to drive itself along. Without spoiling the comic, suffice it to say that its explanations for events before, and pertaining to, the "Bubblegum Crisis" series are lame, biased, and unbelievable, at best. The only redeeming value is that it features a series that has a startlingly small number of comics with it. The art is sort of lacking, too.

negative

Poor.

Grand Mal is awful, fans of the anime series [Bubblegum Crisis] will be up in arms and for those who aren't fans the comic is rubbish and not worth buying. The reasons why it is so poor are manifold but several things stand out: The characters are crude and drawn (literally as well as metaphorically) with thick black lines, the plot is confused and boring, with several obvious loop-holes, the writer tries to provide an explaination for several things that occur in the anime series but he makes reference to things that don't exist in the series at all... And most damning of all the author tries to write poetry in parts which comes across as silly because he is not a good poet, nor a good writer.The list goes on... In short Grand Mal is a waste of money which neophytes will find confusing, fans will hate and comic collectors won't want because it isn't collectable. This one for the completist only.

Avoid at all costs

This comic is terrible, in fact that's doesn't go far enough. The story is rubbish and puts in details that are not supported by the OVA series. The charaters are bland and boring and in some cases the spelling of their names has been changed. Adam Warren cannot, no matter how hard he tries draw otaku manga, he should give up and try something else. And he can't write neither.

Woot!************* 1 YEAR UPDATE! ***************One year later and the product still looks good. No fading.

Very Disappointed

Although I am constantly checking the reviews for products I purchase, I almost never write one myself. However, this time I am so disappointed not only with the product but also the manufacturer that I am compelled to leave one. This toy was purchased for my son for Christmas, however by March the toy had completely stopped working. We changed the batteries, but to no avail. We have since attempted to contact Manhattan Toy to see if they would rectify the situation or suggest a way to fix the toy. They NEVER responded to a single one of our messages. The only reason I gave this toy two stars is because my son still loves to play with the animals. If the toy only worked, I think we would be giving it five stars. But as it is, it broke within three months and the company has failed to even show a scintilla of customer service.

Has design flaws and broke after a month

This toy is adorable and I think it is an excellent learning tool. The animals are sweet and the voice that states each ones name is appealingly young. However, the door never stays open which is frustrating for myself and my one year old. The on/off switch is unnecessarily hidden. Then, it suddenly stopped working after about a month of play. New batteries were put in and I got one more monkey sound, then it died again. So disappointing!

If I could have taken it away from him, I definitely would have returned it for a refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

total misinformation

The author bases his "facts" on outdated myths and urban legends rather than on anything real about any of the groups covered. The chapter on TOPY is one large mistake from start to finish, obviously using information gathered completly from mid-1980's tabloids. This books reads much more like a Christian propaganda tract than as a real guide for understanding anything.Not only does this book insult the groups it is supposed to be about, but it also does an injustice to police officers who are truly interested in learning about these practices and to how best to deal with a situation where encountering them. Anyone looking to learn the truth about any of these groups or practices in an unbiased fashion would be well advised to look elsewhere.

A Supreme Court says otherwise

A friend referred me to the book in question. Horrible read. Most importantly, how is it earth centered traditions that have God and spiritual evolution at their center end up lumped with Satanism? The Supreme Court upheld the rights of worshippers of indigenous faiths. The U.S. Library of Congress no longer catalogs indigenous book topics with satanic topics. A number of medical associations and pharmaceutical companies work with traditional priests to learn more about herbal medicinal treatments of modern illnesses, any more questions? Any self respecting law officer with real insight into the Santeria or Wiccan community wouldnt have written such a book. The author is out of material gain. Period. My suggestion: Throw it in the trash, with all the other racist and bigoted books on religion.

Great debut

Impossible Recording Machine's debut Axioms is an interesting piece of work. The songs, although broken into three groups(these parts are still intermixed) blend together well.Standouts are 'Compulsive 3,' 'The Bells," 'Safety in Numbers,' & 'The Soft Wire.'Both 'The Bells' and 'Safety in Numbers' are among the songs on the album that have vocals (only select songs do) and stand out as intelligent sounding pop songs. The songs are not only listener friendly but also invigoratingly fresh, not the kind of recycled sound so common to current pop music.'Copulsive 3' is a fast powerfully energetic track that could be considered a 'dance' tune in the club scene except for one fact, it is humanly impossible to keep up with this track.Overall a great album, has a few slow points, but for the most past is an amazing conceptual disc and I can't wait to see where this leads.

Impressive!

I originally heard about IRM from the Sister Machine Gun website, I went to the site, listened to some of their music and was quite impressed. I bought this CD as soon as it was released and was blown away by the music. IRM brings together many different styles, some classic, some experimental to develop very interesting soundscapes. Anyone who likes industrial with a kind of rockish feal to it will love this CD.

A refreshing perspective of ancient American culture

'Twilight Moon' was a very enjoyable read. I was captivated by the characters and the environment that was created in the story.

I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in or curiousity of the ancient peoples of the American southwest.

FOR A SHINE THAT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR

For a mirror shine and one that doesn't disappear on the rim of a glass with the first sip my choice is MAC. Lipglass feels good on your lips, as if it contained some emollients. And (this is a big AND) it's not tacky or sticky.The colors are a veritable palette of shades to suit every mood, occasion and skin tone. They range from a playfully innocent baby-doll nude to a dramatic dark diva red.Another plus (and this is a big PLUS following the big AND) MAC Lipglass is so price accessible that you can easily pick a bouquet of these delicious shades. Try adding a Lipglass over a country cousin lipstick for a wow impact.Enjoy!Gail Cooke

Save your money

HOME AT MAYBERRY is a collection of SEASON THREE episodes that have been available (public domain) in various formats (VHS and DVD) for quite some time. Season three has recently been announced as available this August (I believe the 16th). I have already pre-ordered the set and am awiting the release of seasons four through eight.Unless you are totally without patience, and have to have it NOW, I would recommend waiting for the August release date and not spend money only get the entire season again in two months.There are, of course, some wonderful episodes in this set, but with fans of TAGS that goes without saying.I would not recommend purchasing HOME AT MAYBERRY or any other TAGS "collections" at this time.

Appeasing the Saudis is the road to doom!

As writers such as Robert Baer, Dore Gold and Christopher Catherwood have shown in their respective books, to appease the Saudis is the sure road to doom and destruction.

Read this book and the those by the other 3 authors I just mentioned and your view of the real world will be totally transformed!

There are many other books to read

The Department of State is the oldest cabinet department in the US. With over 28 bureaus and 15 or more offices that each conduct important services to the government, after reading this book, one would think that the employees are inept and useless. Based on a few bad experiences that American citizens had overseas and a few well known incidents (9/11, Saddam and such), this book tried to show that this is an agency out to destroy America. To say that since Mrs. Jones of Topeka cooked spoiled sausage therefore the Jimmy Dean company is out to poison all of its consumers would be the equivalent anaolgy after reading this book.

very silly book

It is hard to know whether to laugh or to cry at this very silly book. Reading it one would be hard pressed to know that it was the entire USG (remember that photo of Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand?), especially the Defense Department and CIA, who were whole heartedly in Saddam Hussein's corner up until 1990 (under two Republican Presidents - Reagan and Bush I!). That it was the White House (again under Reagan) that sold arms to the fanatics in Iran (Iran Contra). That CIA and DOD armed the crazies in Afghanistan to the teeth in order to kill Russians, setting the stage for Taliban, Bin Ladin, etc. That it is the military/intelligence establishment and the US oil industry (all three sacred cows to the likes of Mowbray) which has had a cozy relationship with the likes of the Saudis, etc. Beating up on the US State Department, the weak sister in Washington politics compared to DOD and the intelligence establishment, is like some punk kid beating up a toddler.

Dangerous Diplomacy

Dangerous Diplomacy related to Saudi royal family endangering America's National Security is the another hoax/cabal I have recently come across. America's National Security is more threaten by the neonazi-zionist axis and their civilian moles in Pentagon and their selected robot in the white house. Writer seems to me as acting like a spokesmen for MOSAD propaganda division chief, in Washington D.C.The author's communication is miserable at best. Some valid arguments, which he most certainly did his best to loose by resorting to so many negative stereiotypes which are old and commonly used by the jewish lobby and their cronies to smoke screen the facts.While I was never fond of Saudi royal family or any so-called royal family...but trying to relate them directly to America's Security is nothing but dirty politics.I would love to read this writer's next book "Truth About AIPAC & Their Hidden Pac's in U.S.A." if any,

A good overview, shame about the editing

Mark Carlotto is a name closely associated with the Face on Mars controversy ever since the early 1980s. He writes well, dispassionately outlining the difficulties he and other researchers have faced in getting to the bottom of what is one of the most profound mysteries to confront us - is there evidence of intelligent design on the Cydonia plains of Mars? The main drawback however, to what is an excellent book is the annoying spelling errors that are a tad too numerous for my liking. Also, the pictures would have more impact if the paper quality had been better, or if they were presented in colour. Which is why I'm giving the book only 4 stars - better quality, spelling, editing and it would warrant 5 stars.

Cydonia IS Proof

I see a few comments about the editing, thats not the point. Mark Carlotto has made one of the best and most logical arguments for ancient ruins on Mars. Different then Hoagland; Carlotto gives fair airing of the different opinions, and you don't have to be an astro/geologist to see those pyramid structures are not natural. Truly fact is stranger than fiction, and the true history of this solar system appears to be more amazing than we imagined! I highly recommend this book.

A Guidebook for when you return

I am a frequent visitor to Vienna. While I'm there, Iuse a guidebook that focuses on food and drink, a citymap and one of the weekly papers (Der Falter). But whenI return, I enjoy the rumination and reminiscence ofthis book.I'm particularly pleased that it incorporates informationabout the natural setting of the city and I find the culturalinformation to be useful if brief. A great book for reminiscence.--Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE andthe forthcoming novel bang BANG from Kunati Books.ISBN 9781601640005

Pretty but hard to use

This is perhaps the worst-arranged guidebook I've encountered. It skips baseline information in preference for beautiful illustrations. There are many nuggets of information about the city's history and culture - including 11 pages on its birds and squirrels - but you're left not knowing that the city is divided into numbered districts, that you have to get your subway tickets time-stamped, and how to tip. Impractical, frustrating and not worth the room in your suitcase.

Very sharp and LIGHT knife!

I have bought this knife after a LOT of reading online and a lot of store shopping to try them out.This knife is very light compared to many others (esp. German ones), the blade is also narrower than them. It took a little to get used to the longer blade but once used to it, you don't want to go back to a smaller one (as long as your cutting board is large enough).I liked it so much that I bought one more for my mother and she like it better than her Victorinox. You won'T be disappointed with this knife unless you are looking for a heavier knife type.

PUTTING A SHINE ON AN OLD KING'S CROWN

This new definitive bio of Michael "King of Baseball" Kelly adds new luster to the crown of this early Red Sox player. Kelly's life and game were those of legend. Unfortunately, the passage of time has relegated that legend to the history and statistics books. With this bio, Kelly has been resurrected as a high living and loving human being; a human face has been added to the bronze plaque in baseball's Hall of Fame. Well researched and documented, filled with rare images assembled in one place for the first time, this book throbs with the life of a beloved record maker/breaker, Michael "King" Kelly.

Product Was Watery and Had a Strange Odor

Nioxin has discontinued this product, so the containers I got may have been old. It was shipped during a hot spell, so it is possible that the product was damaged by the heat during shipping. In any event, I was unable to use the product. (I have used it for years so I know what it was supposed to be like.) The seller promptly refunded my full cost including shipping and apologized that I was disappointed. The seller also didn't require me to waste my time sending back an unusable product.

Not good for fine hair, almost like glue

This is heavy and makes my hands sticky when applying it. Nioxin is for fine and/or thinning hair. This doesn't "shine" it just takes the fluff out of my hair and makes it lay flat.

Do-all golf tool

This is one neat little gadget. It is good for cleaning grooves in your clubs while playing and perfect for repairing ball marks. Perfectly round golf balls must play, and certainly putt, better and this tells you which balls to pitch in the shag bag. Haven't tried the ball-retriever portion; a little afraid it might come off and I don't want to replace it. Small and easy to carry, but all plastic makes you worry a bit about breaking. Still - Good tool, excellent price. Get one for your golfing buddies.

LCD Projection Screen Benefits

During the process of shopping for a new HDTV, I was dead set on getting a plasma or LCD big screen. After seeing this TV in a local store, I was floored by the picture quality, which was better than Plasma or flat screen LCD.Here is the deal with Plasma versus this TV. The LCD projection technology is solid, with brights and darks coming through without pixelation or loss of clarity. The Plasma technology is still new, and more often than not, there are issues with the picture of an affordable plasma, including bright darks and washed out colors. This LCD Projection screen nails all of the things that make a TV great and it has a small footprint. Plasma? I would rather spend the money on this, than three times the price for a plasma that is not up to snuff.If you wish to have a full review of the benefits of the LCD projection versus the plasma, check out some of the reviews ...

Zenith D60WLCD "Buyer Beware"

I've had set for approximately 6 months, well not exactly. The local Zenith repair service picked up my set after 5 months of use. The lower screen developed blue, then green horizontal display problem. The local service has requested $2,500 in parts to repair, however the parts required to repair the set are not available, I'm told, until mid-February. No set for Xmas, New Years, despite efforts to press repairs at Zenith and repair service. Upon request, it takes 2 days for a supervisor from Zenith to return a phone call. I purchased an extended warranty but did not expect the problems or service levels I've experienced. Unfortunately, I can not rate any higher than 1 Star.

Yeah, it use to be a 5 star when i first bought it also...

When I first bought this tv, it was one of the best you could get for the price. Right after it hit the one year mark, the bulb went bad. After I got it replaced, I started seeing yellow spots in the bottom corners, and now 2/3 of the screen has a yellow discoloration with blue spots now showing up. It keeps getting worse. sure i would recommend this tv too when I first bought it. But like most of the other reviews that owned the tv for a year, I also have to say DONT BUY THIS TV! or there is a really good chance you will regret buying it too. Why take the chance?

Do not buy

Just before my 1 year warranty expired I was having a large blue streak run across the bottom of my screen. No on site tech available so I had to take the TV in myself. It turns out the $2500 light engine was going out and I was supposed to have the TV back in 5-6 days. Zenith contacted me after 30 days and said they would get me approved for a new TV or give me my money back since the part was not available. It has now been an additional 15 days and no word from Zenith. No call backs. I am starting to wonder if I will get anything at all. I sincerely don't want another Zenith and would prefer to get the cash so I can buy a TV with better customer support. I really don't like the thought of going through this again in a year from now as it seems that Zenith is having a lot of similar problems.

unless you like blue and yellow discoloration, don't buy

This tv seemed like the best I could get for the cost at the time, and for the first year I believed that. Then, shortly after the 1 year warranty ran out my tv started developing yellow spots around the corners and eventually spread through the whole screen. Now that yellow has taken over blue spots have started developing in the same pattern that yellow did. The warranty is expired, and for the price quote I received to have my tv repaired, I'd be better off buying a tv of a different brand. This is obviously a manufacture defect as many others have the same problem, but why won't zenith correct their mistake? They put out a product that severly lacks in quality, and they don't stand behind their product and support their customers. Because of this they've lost me and many other loyal customers.

Blue Haze - In the shop also, for 2 MONTHS

After calling LG/Zenith I got the 'we're not responsible but we'll fix your set for free' certified letter. The local repair company began installing the new light engine in my living room but found after complete disassembly that the new engine was not correct and would not work. He loaded up my set and took it to get another engine, he claims to be on the 4th light engine from LG since each one is either wrong for the set or won't work upon installation. I hope they take care of this no matter if the problem is their parts or their choice of repairman or I'll be the one starting the class action!

This TV is an absolute Lemon

I like most of the other people am extremely dissapointed in this TV. I had a great reception for the first year and litterally less than a month after the warranty was up The bottom started to turn all blue. I have now owned this set for 1 1/2 years and 40 percent of the set is blue and now it is streaking blue on other parts of the screen. This was a $3200 TV set when we bought it. I think there should be a class action law suit, this is unjustifiable. People do not pay this much money for a TV that does not last even 2 years.

Please do not by this product. After 1 1/2 years blue line appears, then slowly takes over the entire screen. Price to repair, $3100.00. They will not stand behind there lemons, and therefore will lose in the long run. By word of mouth and the internet this could hurt Zenith & LG for a long time. GOOD. The only reason they got one star is because there is no zero to pick from on this site.

I was ripped off too.

I purchased the 44" version of this TV back in June 04. Within 6 months the dreaded blue line appeared at the bottom. An LG rep on another forum confirmed that excessive heat causes the plastic lens mounts to warp after awhile.(He has since deleted all his posts) I can't post a URL but do a search on E44W46LCD + TriodeGuy and you will find my posts on the other forum. There is a fix for the blue line problem that doesn't require light engine replacement. Please see my posts for details. There is also mention from another poster of a class action lawsuit in Jersey.

Class action lawsuit?????

My husband and I purchased two D60WLCD 60" Zenith televisions. After the warranty had expired both TV's developed neon blue spots in the bottom corner which soon grew to cover the entire bottom 1/3 of the screen. It was $1800 each to have these repaired. I contacted LG Electronics and was slways forwarded to Danny (they don't give out last names). Never once did he answer the phone. I always spoke to his answering machine and never once did he return my call. The authorized company that repaired the TV's told me they were well aware of the problem. Now I'm on pins and needles waiting for the repaired set to begin developing the blue spots.Does anyone know of a class action lawsuit or maybe I should start one. This television has been a major disappointment.

Not good enough...

While the idea behind these products from Wild Republic is a good one, unfortunately the construction and quality are extremely poor. We'd had these items for less than a few hours before arms and limbs began breaking off. If you can find them, Animal Planet makes a series of similar playsets that are of much higher quality and that our son enjoys more. Otherwise, better to do without entirely than waste money on these cheap, flimsy toys.

I have sent a copy of one of my jpeg CDRs to SAMPO US tech support and they confirmed the problem but had no answer.

It's Almost Like An Apex DVD Player

Overall the DVD player is ok for the low end DVD player. Its picture quality is no match for the Sony or the Panasonic DVD player. The MP3 menu looks cheap, but it is easy to use. I got this DVD player for about six weeks and the LCD starts to have problem. Sometime while playing a movie or music CD, the LCD just automatically turns off for no reason. If you have a little extra cash then buy other popular brand, but if you don't have alot of money then you should consider this player!

Ok, but not great

I'm not real impressed with this tuner. First, it's slow to pick up which string youre on. Second, it can't seem to make up it's mind which string it thinks it's tuning. Third, doesn't seem to want to pick up the low "E" string. Fourth, doesn't want to clamp on the head of my Ovation. It's better than no tuner at all, but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's your only choice, or youre low on funds.

Not too bad, but not good enough for me.

My old tuner was broken and I bought this tuner for my guitar. If you do not use the tuner very often, this tuner might be okay. However, if you use the tuner very often like every day, this tuner makes you frustrated because this tuner does not catch the pitch from your instrument exactly sometimes. If you try couple times, finally this catch exact pitch. I will not buy this tuner for next time.

Works suprisingly well

I'm amazed at how well this device works. I've played guitar for many years and always tuned by ear, but so many times it seemed that I just couldn't get certain strings tuned right. I finally decided to buy an electronic tuner. The first time I used it, I thought it wasn't working right because I cross-checked the tuning by ear and, individually, some of the strings didn't sound right. I figured that I should give it a chance, however, and started playing and was blown away by how great the guitar sounded. I've never tried any other electronic tuner so I can't comment on how this one compares to others. This was a worthwhile purchase and a good value, as far as I'm concerned.

positive

0

Not accurate enough

This tuner is not sufficiently accurate for any instrument that uses paired strings that are tuned to the same pitch. Specifically mandolins and hammered dulcimers. The tuner will show each string as being at the correct pitch but your ear or a more accurate tuner will let you know that the two pitches do not match. If it isn't getting both strings to the same pitch, then tuning a violin or guitar is not getting your single string to the correct pitch some portion of the time.

Bleh

I had to use this book at the university, and I hated it. First of all, the prose is of a highly clunky academic style that's laughable to anyone with a decent command of the Russian language, like Vasys was on something when he wrote it. Second, the subject matter is both boring and dated. Honest to God, we are so tired of reading about Russia's climate and the history of Kievan Rus'. It's been done, guys. Over and over and over again. You'd get a better command of contemporary Russian culture and language by reading some contemporary pop lit, of which there is plenty available for kindle. But if you must have a graded Russian reader, use one from the University of Chicago series. They, at least, are interesting and well-written.

Neither main character is especially sympathetic and Cassie's breasts had a bizarre tendency to swell every time she became aroused, which may have been useful in case of a shipwreck during the voyage from Hawaii to England, but is otherwise just annoying!

JUST WASN'T THAT GOOD

Sorry, but this book just wasn't good. I think the first problem came early on when Jared compares Cassie to a child in terms of her body. This really turns me off because early on she acts like a child also. He really thinks she's 14! That's not romantic @ all. And, ok, I know it was island culture and all but having Cassie run around Topless, just isn't romantic. It's like leave something to the imagination! And, if she is going to be topless, please don't let her body be that of a 14-year-old, and not voluptous/sexy. That way it'd be easier for me to see the initial appeal Jared sees in her.

A Great Album

This album is definitely recommended for fans of broken social scene, which I am not. However, I love this album. What separates it from their label mates is that BSS albums are only about 85% lyrical, and mostly musical experiments which, to a degree, work. But I'm not really a fan.The Most Serene Republic captures the heart and carefree stlye of BSS without sounding like a clone. Every song on the album rocks in its own way. Some with lound shouting, some with rocking electric guitar. Listen to the samples on this page and judge for yourself. I happen to think that this is one of the most overlooked albums of the year, hopefully it'll pick up some steam soon. Definitely check it out.PS. The comparison to Ben Gibbard's vocals is not an accurate one. These are more group-oriented vocals. When they are solo, it sounds more like a mix between Radiohead and The Flaming Lips....again, without being a clone of either.

Looking forward to season 2

Great show. I really enjoy the production values, but most importantly you can really see that Dhani Jones absolutely loves what he is doing. Whether he is training in the local sport, eating the local cuisine, getting beat up, gasping for air cause he sucks at a sport, or visiting a landmark of cultural significance, he shows a sense of humor along with a but of competitive edge. I also like how he gets drunk in a couple of episodes. Plus as a man, I can take a few fashion cues from Dhani. This guy is pretty stylish. More so than Bourdain and Zimmeran. If Dhani needed to improve on something it would be his voice overs. They need to sound more natural and less scripted. But thats a nitpick. And at $19 for a whole season, you can't beat it. I wish Travel would put out blu rays as I know this show rocks in hidef!!! There's more countries and sports to tackle so I am definitely lookin forward to season 2. If you watch this I'm sure you'll agree.

Good bed, but the rails are small

We purchased this bed for my mother who has a cancer-related neurological disorder (paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration). The bed is good and inexpensive, however the bed rails we received are quite a bit smaller than they look on the picture. With the ones we have she's easily able to get her legs out of the bed and fall, which means we will need to purchase a second set of rails to fully close the gap. If not for this problem (which is a big safety issue) I would give this product five stars. If you need the extra safety from the bed rails, however, I suggest you either look for something else or consider purchasing a separate set of rails.

An awkward compilation of essays heavily weighted towards CMM-based process improvement as it has been practiced within the aerospace industry.

This delightful book is one of the most imaginative I've read in ages. Unfortunately in the process of naming and describing the five fingers, it reads: "The Dirty Digits ...

I am no where close to being a prude, but I choose not to read that to my grandaughter. She'll find out about such things soon enough, but I won't be the one to introduce it to her.

Jimmy Breslin, Alive and Well!

I became interested in Breslin's book because a good friend passed away this year from a brain aneurysm. My friend did not know he had one and did not know what hit him when it burst. Breslin was lucky. He had symptoms, had it diagnosed, did his homework, and went to the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. There he was operated on by Dr. Spetzler, one of the world's greatest neurosurgeons.Jimmy's life flashes by throughout the book and we meet a lot of the characters he has been acquainted with. But the focus of the book is the anatomical anomaly known as an aneurysm.Jimmy takes us inside the O.R. and we can almost see the great Spetzler as he delicately clamps off the bulging blood vessel in Breslin's brain, a brain which has given us over 40 years of wonderful writing and humor, no matter what you think of his politics.My friend was not lucky, but Jimmy was and so are we all to have him around for awhile.

God Saves Breslin and, With That, The Rest of Us

Jimmy Breslin was this close to joining Hemingway, Runyon, Joyce and Behan at that bar up there in the sky. He faces the very real possibility of death with a calmness that even surprises himself. From this calm he is able to reflect on his life: not a small task. This Pulitzer Prize winner regales us with reminiscences of his front row seat at the most delightful and dreadful events of the last 40-odd years. I read all that he has done. This is his best! God saved Breslin. He still has his talent, call it a miracle, and he still plys the trade. Which makes me think he did the rest of us the bigger favor.

great back swing

High quality, nice design, good customer service (a piece damaged in shipment was replaced with no hassle). Compared to my old American Sports back swing, on which the nylon finally gave out after 25 years, this is higher quality everywhere, and the curved handles are a handy feature for pulling yourself back to upright position in case you're not balanced perfectly. The only downside is that assembly is not easy or obvious, and the instructions are incomplete and poorly written.

A nice feature is that the degree of incline is regulated by steel bars with adjustable quarter inch pins, not a nylon strap. Which means precise control, as you gradually get used to steeper settings, and also different people could easily use the machine and have their own settings....As regards use of such a machine, I believe it is possible to injure oneself easily if one's back and stomach muscles aren't strong. Especially if older it's probably good to build up strength with the yoga poses: locust and cobra first, and begin very gradually with the inversions.
