1	Funny, fast-paced, fabulous!	Claire Parker and Jack Willows are Vancouver detectives who are called to investigate a bizarre crime. The body of a man, strangely frozen in a lotus position, has been found in a Chinese ornamental garden. Around the same time, two young men decide to go beyond petty theft, and a housewife can't seem to shake the memory of her handsome car jacker. Strangely enough, these three events become intertwined and Parker and Willows must sort everything out.Watching everything come together is always so much fun in Gough's books. I really like seeing various events from different perspectives. This is a mystery, but it's also so much more - it's an intriguing look at human nature and all the shades of grey between black and white.	positive
0	Some good information, but a lot of common knowlwdge.	This book repeated most info found in other books and was not very helpful. Many other books are much better.	negative
1	Good startingpoint	This book freshened me up on relational databases, which is essential for understanding sql7. after this book you can just use a cram-book for preparing for the 70-128 exam (NOT the exam cram for administering sql7 from coriolis! ) unless you need a studyguide with hands-on labs. i didnt find it to be a problem that this book is written on beta3, if you cant sort it out because of that then you have an attitudepreoblem or you are a spoiled kid. if so, ask mommy for help with your sql-studies.I learned advanced Access in a different language than english and this book helped me with some of the english DB-terminology. Im taking the test next week, my 7th MS-test, this book has saved me for weeks of studytime by pointing out the basic direction right from the begining.	positive
0	SQL 7.0 BETA for dummies	This book is obviously written on the author's work on the Beta version of SQL 7.0. Unfortunately Microsoft has changed several things from the beta to the final release, which makes this book a poor buy. At least if you were planning on leaning how to install a SQL server, then your money is absolutely wasted...	negative
0	I must really be a Dummy	I'm new to SQL/SQL Server, and was looking for a basic intro to the package. The book does an excellent job introducing all of the features and functions, but not much else. Real-world examples were there, but very limited. As I read, I often found myself asking, in a manner of speaking, "sure, that's what button I push, but WHY do I push it?"I did walk away with an appreciation for the complexity of SQL Server 7. Save yourself the cash, and read the product documentation instead.	negative
0	Too much documentation rehash; not enough concepts/explanati	I was disappointed with this book. Many trade books that are the first out to cover cutting edge topics merely take the documentation and present it a little differently (i.e. "To use this feature, first click this, then enter this, now do this." etc.) IMHO, there is too much of this in this book. Also, there is not enough explanations of the features of SQL Server 7.0 to help you understand them or how they could be used. This is the first Dummies book I have been disappointed with.	negative
0	Very disappointed with this book	I bought this book hoping that I could get my feet wet with SQL 7 and then get into more detail with the SQL Book Online. This book offers little more than screen shots and it does not help you gain an understanding of database concepts. If you need to administer SQL or develop with SQL, you're better off with a more complete book. I bought Using SQL Server 7.0 from QUE and am pleased with it.	negative
0	Too Long Too Thin	This mat is very long - two children could use it @ the same time - which is longer than needed. Also it says extra thick - it is as thin or thiner than every yoga mat i've used plus if you sweat @ all its like doing yoga on a slip 'n slide. I gave it away and went back to using the floor.	negative
1	A Magical Irish Treasure Chest	This book was written by Lady Wilde who was Oscar Wilde's mother, and what a wonderful book it is. Although the book is called Irish Cures, Mystic Charms & Superstitions, it also contains a section of proverbs, information about the fairy race, traditions and the uses of herbs. The writing is beautiful and I can almost hear Gaelic when reading how to cure dropsy or keep a changeling from being substituted for a mother's baby. That this advice was actually used is so mind-opening in this day and age of technology where the cure for everything is probably on cable TV.Lady Wilde was extremely talented and she collected a multitude of Irish make-believe and folk advice into these priceless pages. It's also a cheerful read for night-time reading. You can pick it up anywhere and find something interesting and amusing.As I turn off my cell phone and computer, I pick up Lady Wilde's book and put myself in another century and place.	positive
1	Charming....	A grand little book filled with traditonal folk charms, superstitions and other mysterious items. A quaint and well informed read.	positive
1	GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES!	Great book! I purchased this book because I have a student who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I wanted the class to understand what their classmate was going through and to answer any questions they may have. I truly believe that educating children on issue such as this will help enhance their lives as well as the child who is experiencing it first hand. Thanks Kim, for a wonderful book for all ages!!	positive
1	Great Book	This book is great my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year when she was in Kindergarden and the kids really liked it. She also took it to her class this year and helps the kids to understand why she is treated a little bit differently as far as being able to get snacks and having to leave the classroom.	positive
1	Highly recommended!	I purchased this book to share with the first and second grade classroom who will be getting a new student who is diabetic. It was great! Explained what diabetes is, that it is not contagious (kids won't catch it) and what to expect. It talked about the highs and the lows, about not sharing food because he has a special food plan to help control the diabetes, about the testing meter, the shots, and the pump. I loved that it shared suggestions about what behaviors they might see in their new classmate that might indicate that he is having a problem and what to do it they see them. It even had a little quiz at the end.I highly recommend the book.	positive
0	sound like a Nice Product.	It didn't help my dry dark spots. And this bottle is very small. This product suppose to help people of color skin issue.	negative
1	Good Product--Excellent Price	This product was purchased as a result of my father-in-law having knee replacement surgery. While he was hospitalized, he used this type of equipment for rehab purposes. He talked about how it helped him tremendously, and my husband and I decided to surprise him with one of his own. He loves it; it continues to help in with his rehab. We were told by relatives that he sometimes wants to exceed the amount of reps as perscribed by the doctor so they have to take it from him (smile) which in my opinion is a good thing. We loved the price and the free shipping. Comparable items pricewise ranged from $80 to $125+.	positive
0	leith	product did not fit properly so i call for the delivery person to pick it up they claim that the product was not was not there,on the side of the house so i don't know what happen. never got back to the manufactor so i have no product nor did i get my money back. the product was nice just did not fit the chrysler pacifica thats why i give it one star	negative
1	Great additional storage	We bought this cargo box for extra needed space for a family camping trip. With having 2 children (in car seats), 2 bikes, 2 bike trailers, coolers, and all of the other camping stuff for an extended camping trip we knew it was this or take 2 cars. The Thule cargo box will pay for itself in several camping trips with the current price of gas. The amount of items this cargo box can hold is amazing. We were able to fit a double bike trailer, a single bike trailer, sleeping bags, pillows, and more. I've also used it for a weekend shopping trip with the ladies.The attachment to the car is easy. My husband and I had it done in less than 10 minutes. We own an Acura MDX and some reviews I saw said we would need a special adapter to attach it to the roof rack but this was not the case. We ordered the adapter but have not had to use it.I would recommend this cargo box to anyone who needs extra storage space.	positive
0	DVD unreliable, sound quality poor.	I bought this in September 2008. The DVD on this unit has always been temperamental. Often it would reject the disc repeatedly before playing it. The DVD unit now does not function at all. The sound quality is poor. The volume stays all the way to 100 and it is still difficult to hear at times (I am not hard of hearing). On the plus side, the picture quality is fine. The unit was easy to set up.	negative
0	Terrible	Do Not Buy this t.v Terrible!!! The lcd screen went! Never will buy one of their products again! Buyer beware!	negative
0	Don't buy it!	I have been taking this product for a week. Since I started taking this product, I have had severe chest pains. I have stopped and suddenly feel better. I am returning it and I don't recommend anyone purchase this product. There are no FAQs on the company website. They claim no side effects, but I have experienced a strong one. There is no real quantified list of ingredients since there is no governing body (FDA) evaluating the product. It contains green tea extract and there is NO way to complete remove all caffeine. They could sell sweetened dirt in a bottle and you'd be none the wiser. If Lo Han extract is so strong, why does the product also contain stevia? I could go on and on with this one. The "nutritionists" who sell this gave me a canned response and didn't really answer my questions or offer to refund my money. Poor customer service from the maker direct!	negative
1	Pure Inventions Green Tea Extract	I hate tea, but know that all the antioxidants,etc are good for me. I was stoked when I saw this stuff in a catalog. I am on my third bottle. One dropperful a day is equal to something like 30 cups of green tea (gross). Not the best tasting stuff, but I hold my nose and put a dropperful in my mouth, then chase it down with water. There are, of course, other more sophisicated ways of taking it.	positive
0	peculiar	This is a peculiar and troubling book. The author says that secularism is "the rigid control of religious life by the state." That's sure not the way we think of secularism in the US. Furthermore, I can't imagine that many would dismiss the Magna Carta as blithely as the author does on pg. 25 of the hardcover. Bottom line: I found Paul Berman's book Terror and Liberalism far more logical about what's going on in Islam.	negative
0	Unless you have teeny tiny ears..... don't buy this	Sound is ok, but the ear pieces are poorly designed, too small, and squash your earlobes. Expect pain after about 10 minutes.They are 100% plastic. I broke mine trying to loosen them up. They look pretty ugly all taped up, but now they are loose enough to wear.	negative
0	Poor Right Out of the BOX!	After reading the variety of reviews on Amazon I still went ahead and bought a pair. What a mistake! First I waited 24 hours for the batteries to charge, a little long bey hey, I waited patiently. Next, the base unit wouldn't turn on. Instruction said the base unit automatically turns on when the headphones are turned on. Nope. I had to unplug the base unit and plug back in to turn it on. Next, they a constant low level hissing...on every channel. And don't change headphone channels with them on your ears or you get a very LOUD popping noise. And the grand finale was they automatically shut off every 3-5 minutes. Packing them up tomorrow and shipin em back...	negative
0	I agreed with all the negative reviews here.	Unfortunately I saw them after I bought the item.The material is cheap. The sound quality is so so.If you move your head around, the static noisequickly occurs. And it keeps pressing my ears althoughI have small ears. And it costs a fountune. Pleasedo not buy it.	negative
0	very poor plastic construction, but can be fixed; bulky	Plastic pivot axes were broken after about 1 year of occasional usage. But sound is still there, range is satisfactory (not 300 feet as advertised, but sufficient for a regular house, 50 feet). Rechargable battery still works after 4-5 years no replacement, but capacity has dropped and need recharging every 2h.Because it still works I gave 2 stars. Otherwise construction is very poor. It will certainly break on you even if you do not abuse them at all. First ear peace was broken after 6 month. I fixed it with duct tape, but it did not last. So I put a metal bracket (from used computer slots) and taped both peaces. Looks ugly and bulky, but it works for last 3 years. After about one year second ear peace was broken I fixed it (you guess) same way.I doubt this product has ever passed ANY quality control. Buy only if you have spare metal brackets and know how to tape it.	negative
0	Very disappointing	I'd like to think the poor performance was a result of my unique (noisy signal) environment rather than the possibility that $150 headphones could be that bad. Or maybe they were just defective. I thought I had set my expectations rather low, fully anticipating some static. But, no matter where I went in my house and no matter which of the three channels I used, I got about 60% noise and 40% content at best.	negative
0	There's a reason these are on special....	It's because they are uncomfortable to wear.Reviewer who complained about the earpiece size and shape was right. They ride right on your earlobe and it doesn't take too long before it gets to be painful. I cleverly tried to loosen mine up a little and broke the plastic headpiece.Bad news is it doesn't look so nice, but good news is that now it doesn't hurt to wear them for awhile.Sound, etc. is just fine for most people but I wouldn't buy them again.	negative
0	Bad receiption, can't move your head, high pitch noises	I read the review, still thought to give a try as it was cheap. However after using it I returned it in a week. Amazon was good to take back the product without the shipping charge.This product gives lots of noise, it will be worse if you move your head even one inch. Sometime those noise are high pitch noise, which really annoy someone, who want to concentrate for work, while avoiding outside noise.I actually took this product for my work place, where I want to do coding without outside disturbance by putting some slow instrumental song. It didn't work out, I was sitting only 3-4 feet away from the transmitter, I even tried retuning many many times.They have given one extra battery for headphone, that sits in the base station, behind the antenna.	negative
0	Not as good as I thought.	I bought these headphones less than a year ago. Then they quit. I only used them 2 hours per night to watch TV. I had good reception (went outside with them behind my house), while they were working. I sent them back to the factory in Old Saybrook, CT. It appeared they sent me a new set. But they only worked for a few minutes and then cut out. Try another brand.	negative
0	Good headphones but they don't last	I have two sets of the RS 65 headphones. Each of them has a broken bracket that holds the earpiece to the headband. I thought that I stepped on one to break it but the other one definetly broke during normal use. So far I have been searching for replacement brackets online but no luck. I will call Sennheiser directly tommorrow. I paid alot for these headphones and expected longer service.We did like theses headphones very much until they broke after a year or so. Previously we had Advent headphones that we had to tweak the tuning on constantly to get reception. I am thinking about gutting the electronics out of the headphones and building a little box that I can put in my pocket and plug wired headphones into so that when they break they'll be cheap to replace.	negative
0	Great sound, cheap shoddy construction	The sound quality and performance of these headphones are great, but they last about 6 months since the headset is very cheaply constructed. I had one earpiece fall off after the plastic holding it together gave way after a couple months of occasional use. I taped that side up, but then the other earpiece fell off a month after that. ...Save your money and buy another brand.	negative
0	Terrible	I got this headphones on December 18,2004.As of March 23,2004,today,the headphones keep shutting down after a few minutes,the system just doesn't stay on.When I do get them to work(just for a few minutes) and turn my head the sound cuts out.There is a two year warranty,parts and labor but according to Amazon's customer service you have to address the manafacturer to honor the 2 year warranty ,and guess what?THE MANUFACTURER IS IN GERMANY.	negative
0	worked great until . . .	Good sound, lightweight -- but it stopped working altogether in just about a month. Now I have to deal with repair or return. Not such a good deal after all.	negative
0	Cheap plastic breaks after a short period of time	Sound quality ok. No way 300 feet, more like 75. Who ever engineered control switches must of hated home electronic fans. Switches are small and illogical. Almost impossible to control by feel(after a few months of use you will be able to control volume and on/off without removing from your head to take a look), just moronicPlastic on both sides have broken and been fixed with super glue(no other way to do at all as pieces are so minute). Super glue fails and must do again, and of course once glued the pivoting feature for ear comfort no longer works as it is glued.I think these engineers should go out and see what we chickens are eating out here before they foist their imaginative experiments on us.Anyhing else you wish to know????	negative
1	RFP from Fla.	The headphones were great! But, the control volume was hard to find if you fail a sleep and wokeup to change the volume. That was the only problem with the headphones. Great headphones and the best money could buy if you look for quality and sound. This was the one! Buy it! These headphones could be a 5 star if you are looking for great sound and comfort!	positive
0	VOLUME INADEQUATE	I BOUGHT THE RS65 ... I AM NOT SATSFIED WITH THE VOLUME FOR A SYSTEM THAT COST ME $$$ AFTER DISCOUNT. ON DISPLAY AT THE SHOW THE VOLUME IS LOW AND YOU DO NOT GET THE CORRECT IMPRESSION. THE SURROUND SOUND IS TERRIFIC BUT I DID EXPECT MORE I.C.W THE VOLUME.I WOULD LIKE ...THE REP TOLD ME TO FIRST TURN UP THE VOLUME OF THE TV AND THEN THE HEADPHONES BUT IT DOES NOT WORK.	negative
0	Not what I had hoped for	I bought these to use after the rest of the family had gone to bed, so I could listed to music & watch movies without disturbing them.Unlike some of the other reviewers, I found the sound to be generally perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the sound was only clear when my head was stationary. Moving around the house or even turning my head cause a lot of cracks and pops in the sound.I found this so intrusive that these went back to Amazon after only a few hours. I couldn't see the point of paying ...for headphones that made my CDs sound like they were being played on a distant radio station. I guess that this is unavoidable to some extent, given that it is a radio signal that carries the sound to the headphones, but I was appalled how bad it was.So, I guess my take-home message is that if you're considering these as your first wireless headphones, be prepared that the sound quality will not be as good as a pair that come with a cord.	negative
0	THESE ARE AWFUL!	The sound quality is fine and the range is okay, but the headphones are so poorly constructed that I have been through two pairs in 6 months. I was extremely careful with the second pair and they just broke this morning after only 3 months of use. The joints that hold the the phones are weak and plastic. DON'T DO IT! These won't last.	negative
1	An important handbook for midlife women	Prime Time provides an Afro-American women's sourcebook to midlife health and wellness, providing particular information for black women ranging from understanding the health care system to defusing anger and managing stress. From assessing the risk for diabetes to understanding the common signs of depression, Prime Time is an important handbook for midlife women.	positive
1	Great Introduction to Divination in a variety of forms	I came to this book when I was looking into Divination 101 books for Pagans and Wiccans who were a part of my study group. I purchased the book and went through it to find that it was a great Divination 101 book and subsequently used it for one of my Divination online study groups (the other one dealt with Tarot).Personally, I created and still use today 3 of the divination forms that were described within the book. I especially like the Witch's Geomancy as the symbolism works for me.When it does come back into print.. get this book. Otherwise, buy a 2nd hand copy (from the 'net or local 2nd hand bookstore).	positive
1	Great radio, great price!	Great radio, compact, yet powerful. Water resistant, subchannels and digital codes make this a practical radio. The range is reported at 5 miles, but don't expect to get that distance in urban or crowed suburbs - its closer to 1.5 miles in these areas, and clear. The only down side with this radio is the required FCC license - $75 for a 5 year license, but the GMRS is definately the way to go when compared to the FRS radios for keeping a family in touch in the larger amusment parks. The license fee is a small price to pay for the added security of the radios' range. I checked all over the web and in sporting goods stores, and Amazon.com has the best price for this pair!	positive
1	Nice train	This is my first O-gauge train set. I got it to play with my 2-year old son who loves trains. He is delighted with it. He is able to operate the controls with supervision (especially the whistle), but he cannot put the train on the track or hook up the cars. The sounds are realistic, but they can get annoying. Luckily you can adjust the volume or even completely turn them off. The cars are plastic with metal wheels and running gear. They look nice, but are not as realistic as some (probably much more expensive) I've seen. The engine is all metal, and is very heavy. The train had stood up to alot more abuse than it should get.	positive
0	Not the best quality	The screws that hold the boxes together were not all drilled correctly. I had to glue a couple of the sides together to compensate. The boxes are fine for small toys but they don't hold much.	negative
1	Cute and Funny	This book made me laugh. It was cute and quirky; embraces the single life and enjoy it.	positive
0	The Title Alone Is A Turn Off	The title "Sex and the Single Girl" was daring in 1962. It is now 2009. We should have moved on from calling women "girls" by this time.	negative
0	Unmarried? You will enjoy this book. Single? You might want to look elsewhere.	This is a great book for unmarried women looking for ideas on how to move through their world with a significant other and/or dating. However, this book is not for the single women. Single is different than unmarried. Single is without a significant other and/or not dating. Unmarried is not married but still dating and/or having a significant other. It may seem like nitpicking but the detail is important because the book is not written for the single woman. If you are looking for a book for women not in the dating game, "Quirkyalone" would be a better pick. It includes activities for people not dating and/or without a significant other. Otherwise, if you are unmarried, there are several good ideas about activities to do, people to cavort with, etc. in this book.Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics	negative
0	Not enough Substance-JUST OKAY	I was very excited to recieve this book, and began reading it right away. About a chapter in I wasn't so excited to continue this and found it harder to pick it up. The author does give helpful advice that is fun to keep in mind when you are single and ideas for what to do with yourself. The part I personally did not care for is that half the book are stories from other singles, I found myself skimming through every story just to get to the main point paragraphs after each one. If you don't mind reading those than you will enjoy this book. But for me I want to get to the point, I want facts, and substance. I don't want to read about what Janet age 30 is doing with her single life!!	negative
1	So helpful during tough times!	This is a great book for all ladies who have been through tough times and have lost hope for love in the future. It teaches you in a realistic and amusing way that it's okay to be single and it's okay to be with someone. It's helped myself and a few friends get through tough times. It's one I always recommend to a girlfriend in need of some hope for the future.	positive
1	Got Everything We Need	Long-time Cranes fan here. Since 1990. I've run the gamut with them, definitely. Years of music, changing styles, etc. But this album ranks as one of my favorites by them; and I dare say it may make it into my top 10 of all time. A simple, honest, straightforward shot of songs. It's a mysterious and enthralling musical landscape that I enjoy roaming with each new listen. It's innocent and often eerie explorations of outer space-ness, and all the forces in our world we can't see yet we know are there (like wind, or the stars in the daytime) are magnificent. Highlights: "Here Comes The Snow", "Particles and Waves" and "Far From the City." Cranes fans will adore it, and new listeners will as well.	positive
1	Told As It Was	Please do not be put off by fours stars: this is a superb book about early WWII written by someone who 'was there'. The lack of a fifth star merely reflects my desire to have seen a longer, even more in-depth, book. I was born in 1950, so my knowledge of those days is gained mostly by people like John Hersey. Also, my uncle (and namesake) was a member of Edson's Raiders--and he was there, too. I have had the great good fortune to have met many of the Raiders and others on Guadalcanal and I find "Into the Valley" to be most accurate of the descriptions told to me by these veterans. All human, the Marines had to draw on their training and leadership to get themselves through the bitter fighting and to prevail against unsettling odds on Guadalcanal. Hersey allows us to see the Marines as human--young boys and men, for the most part. He paints success and he paints failure with an honest brush. This is a "must read" for anyone interested in WWII and the South Pacific.	positive
1	A classic!	I loved this book because, along with Guadalcanal Diary, it is one of the only contemporaneous narratives of life on Guadalcanal. I only wish it were 1000 pages. Most war memoirs are seemingly written 30 years on whereas this book has a great sense of immediacy...read it if you love WW2!	positive
1	Well written and informative...	the author has a very personable and easy-going approach to a sometimes daunting subject...easy to read and full of helpful information for anyone who is interested in learning what is truly needed to make home recordings...I highly recommend this book...	positive
1	A "new" old blues treasure discovered!	Great blues vocals! A treasury of traditional and original songs. That someone like Cootie Stark had to wait until his seventies to get the recognition he deserves is sad, but more so is the likely loss of other great "first generation" blues musicians. Thankfully, not this time. The infectious "Jigeroo" and other more traditional blues tunes make this a welcome addition to any blues library. This and other CDs from Cello/Music Maker confirm they continue to make recording and production excellence their standard. P. Poliski	positive
1	Couldn't put it Down!	Wow,I was suprised to read such a wonderful book from an author I had never heard of. This book was definatly an original filled with grusome tales of love and suspense. All the detail (even the most horrific detail) really paints a picture for you. I know I will be first in-line for the sequal or any other book Baker writes.	positive
0	were can I get these books ???	Not a review but would like to if I can get to buy them for my sony e-book, Could someoneplease tell me were I can buy them ??? having a hard time finding them...And here I thought thatby spending $500.00 on a e-book I was going to get them faster....JOKE...I can't find any books.thanks	negative
0	Terrible, Awful...	Words can't even express how horrible this book was. A mixture of romance novel and horror. Mostly romance novel. The end product a poor imitation of a well written about subject. Laurell K. Hamilton you have nothing to worry about. Painful to read. I wish I could get a refund. Imagine, the vampires in this book eat steak and lobster. Ridiculous! This paperback went straight into the trash. Does not merit a space on my bookshelf. Readers try PN Elrod or L.K. Hamilton. This writer desperately needs to find her voice.	negative
1	W-O-W!	Maghann O'Neill thought she had killed her evil master, Simon Baldevar, decades ago. She was wrong. During her freedom, Maggie had been learning to control blood lust, finish school to become a psychologist to help abused human wives and children, and learning all she could of her vampire powers from Alcuin (as his apprentice).But Simon had been gaining power. Silently he had been plotting for revenge against Maggie and all those who either helped her escape him or that she cared for.*** Pure horror at its finest! Trisha Baker hooked me from the beginning and held onto me for the entire length of the book! Parts of the book were so graphic that I admit to being attracted and repelled at the same time! It was so well written I could easily picture it happening as I read it. Yes, Readers, this author is THAT TALENTED! Extremely recommended for all horror fans! ***	positive
1	A GOOD idea if I do say so myself	Yes I know I posted a review before about this book but I have thought long and hard about this. I think that like Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire, this book, along with the others in the trilogy,would make wonderful movies. I would love to see who would be chosen to play Maggie,Simon,Jimmy,etc... in the movies. Now Trisha if you read these book reviews please take this one into consideration. Well I just thought I throw the idea out there.	positive
1	good	I think it is a good deal.But my husband think the watchband not enough shine. And he wants an Eco watch so we returned it.	positive
0	High Resistance = Low Performance	The resistance in the keys is very high in this keyboard, especially in the keys that are normally struck by the pinky fingers. Very irritating for those of us who type with the occasional capital letter, and must constantly correct the capitalization because our beleaguered pinkies didn't press the stiff buttons down far enough. However, this probably won't be as big a problem to those who type all in lower-case.I finally gave up and bought a laptop style keyboard (even though the command key is in the wrong place), due to my intense frustration at having to retype constantly.	negative
1	Pretty Good	This is pretty good keyboard, for the price, especially becuase it has two USB ports. I have an ibook, which only comes with two USB ports of its own, so having the extra two is very nice. It was pretty easy to set up too, just plug it in and your Mac pretty much does the rest. The only problem I have with this is the depth of the keys. If you are used to typing on a laptop that has shallow key depths, it takes a little time to get used to this keyboard. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but it does slow down my typing. But then again, I probably would have had the same problem with any other keyboards.	positive
1	Murder and More	I bought this set no knowing anything about the series and was very pleased, not the best series I have ever watched, but very good. The stories are entertaining and well thought out. The series incorporates a woman detective on the rise and her family going through chaos and change. If you want a fast paced mystery series that isn't boring and has a lot to offer, this is it.	positive
1	BBC Fan	This is a series where the characters are real and likable. The relationships between the characters are well developed. The plots are well thought out, and there is humor interspersed throughout each episode. Caroline Quentin hardly is the hard-edged cold figure normally played by female leads in a crime series. I like it and recommend it.	positive
0	Horrible	Much of the success of murder mysteries depends on mood. People who compare this series to Morse or Jane Tennyson are idiots. The actor in the lead role has absolutely no gravitas, the dialogue is childish, the music puts one in mind of the old "Columbo" TV series. Desperately bad all the way around.	negative
0	Blue Murder - blu who who	Blue Murder is perfect for those who really want a weepy soap opera, but whose significant other demands a mystery. The main character is infuriatingly bland and one wonders how or why she became a Chief Inspector, or an actress for that matter. The dialogue, such as it is, begs the question: Are you really trying to put us to sleep? You'll hear such memorable lines as (disclaimer: I made these up. Actual lines may be far worse.) "We've got to work hard to crack this case!" and "Let's all work together!" She should have added, "And I really, really mean it!"Some of the supporting cast are wonderful and will no doubt keep you from kicking in the front of your TV. When the main character appears, use the fast forward, mate. Don't worry, you won't miss any of the plot.	negative
0	What's that?	There are no subtitles or closed captions provided in thes product making it impossible to deal with the heavy dialect of most characters.	negative
1	Reliable Wireless	I have used amazon reviews to determine what type of headphones to buy for the price range I wanted - I considered the mixed reviews and gave Senn RS-45 a chance. I am happy to report I am 100% happy with the quality of the sound, the range, and the ease of set up (even my iPOD works with it!)	positive
0	Disappointing	I bought these for home and work, thinking I'd be able to listen to the MP3s on my computer while roaming from room to room.Well, forget that. Despite the claims that you can hear your music through "walls and ceilings", the reality is that even one or two thick walls will block clear reception. And I don't know where they came up with that "300 foot" range for the reception, but it's just not true. In addition, the power cord and audio jack are way too short, limiting your ability to position the transmitter to where it might do some more good. If you're looking to listen to your TV or stereo from across the room, this might be the product for you, but if you want to listen to music in the backyard, you'd be better off with something else.	negative
0	Great...until they broke	The quality was good and all, but exaclty one month after they arrived, both "ears" broke off, within 2 days of each other. No way of fixing it, it's a little weak plastic part that attaches the ear to the arch. Horribly disappointing.	negative
1	Good value	These headphones do exactly what i want them to do! I hook them up to my computer and i can walk around the room with perfect sound quality. I can walk pretty far with really good sound, but once you get behind one thick wall, it goes really fuzzy. But if you just want to walk around an open house and listen to music, these are the headphones for you!	positive
0	Go for the RS 110 or RS 120	I have several RS 4 & RS 40/45 headphones.I recently purchased 2 RS 110 headphones to replace the RS 40/45.Don't bother with the older models.The RS 110 or the RS 120 is much improved.Longer range, better sound quality, better mechanical engineering, improved transmitter/receiver. The RS 110/120 uses 2xAAA alkaline or rechargeable batteries, so you can replace them when the wear out.(Don't use alkaline in the RS 120 because you may forget and put the headphones on the charging stand and cause the batteries to rupture.)	negative
0	Not up to par	The auto tune function does not work very well, and the pads hurt my ears after a while.	negative
1	Better than Disney	I was trying to find something similar to Epcott's video VISIONS OF FRANCE, which was absolutely breathtaking. This does it. Filmed form a helicopter with a panoramic view, this series will take your breath away. As a Professor, I use the series to get students excited about study abroad in Europe. Mission accomplished. College kids are a tough audience. This will appeal to young and old alike.	positive
1	Your own private bird's eye view of your favorite spots in Scotland	Like all the other videos in this series, you get a view from a helicoptor of all the major tourist sights in the specified country, in this case, Scotland. Most of us have not flown in a helicoptor over a country. So we all get a view that we cannot get from a walking or driving tour. It's well-done. I received it as a Christmas gift and was not disappointed. I've watched it several times and will watch it many more times in the future.	positive
0	Very disappointing.....	Too much of the video in this film focused on urban areas, no footage of the western Islands or the NW coast at all. Not even a shot of Cape Wrath. I also found the music to be a great annoyance. Why in the world use Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and other incongruous non-Celtic tracks when there is a treasure-trove of beautiful music from the Gaelic -speaking parts of British Islands to choose from, much of which must be in public domain by now? The narration was pleasant enough, but lacked any depth or real historical information. I wasn't expecting a major documentary here, but I was expecting a lot more than I got. Also, don't be fooled by the 88 min stated length. Twenty-nine minutes of this is outtakes with no narration, so I feel even more ripped off. Basically little more than insipid eye candy that is only of passing interest. I wish I'd have skipped it altogether.	negative
0	Mediocre	RoA is not a bad book. It's just not a good book. If your goal is to read every fantasy book set in a medieval period, this one won't give you a headache. But make sure you read it before you go on to Robin Hobb's Farseer saga or George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. That's how I came to David Coe's book, and he suffers in the comparison. A great deal of the first quarter of the book is given over to exposition. And I could live with that. His land has some novel ideas. What's not so great is Coe waits forever to give us characters to hang our hat on. Until then, the reader is left standing around waiting for someone to invite them to the party.	negative
1	Bravo	This is a very unique book. The Qirsi have been defeated in battle. Some have assimilated into society and others have decided to fight for independence from those that do not have magic. They have carefully guided history to fit their agenda.I pray that the author does not end this series with a Qirsi / human marriage. I would be disappointed.	positive
1	Fabulous new series!!	Just finished this one and going out tomorrow to get the Next one "Seeds of betrayal." This is really a rich and complex story that leaves you biting your nails wondering who is the betrayer and will Tavis ever be "set free" from the blame of killing his love Brienne?? Cannot wait to get the next one. Too bad i have to work!!	positive
0	Cant help but it is soooo obvious	I Read all the reviews and thouth this was going to be a treat. Man was I wrong. It was not one twist och plot development that didnt shine throut at least a chapter ahead. I love when writes expand their character and Coe does that mentally but when it comes to physical apperance it goes sour. All I know of Tavis is that he has blond strait hair and that Grinsa is tall and Broad chested for a Qirsi. And people are grinning ALOT in this book.Something else that boardered me was that "SPOILER WARNING" that the only thing that keept Tavis From confession during the torture was pride. I belived that pride was the first thing to go under these circumstances. My advice read anouther book because this I do not like.	negative
1	A welcome contribution to deaf studies	Meticulously compiled and expertly edited by Elizabeth A. Winston, Educational Interpreting: How It Can Succeed is a scholarly anthology of essays by learned authors concerning the strengths and weaknesses of the practice of educational interpreting for deaf students. The contributors are all experts in the field and include former educational interpreters, teachers of deaf students, interpreter trainers, and deaf recipients of interpreted education. Divided into three sections - once focusing on deaf students themselves and the language myths that surround them, one raising questions about the support and training that interpreters have in and from the school systems, and one considering suggestions for improving the problems facing interpreted education, and how to improve situations for educational interpreters. A welcome contribution to deaf studies and a critical assessment of the skill of educational interpretation itself.	positive
1	An amazing edition of Pilgrims Progress!	This is a really well done edition of Pilgrim's Progress. It was adapted into modern English and yet they kept the heart of the story all the key aspects while making it very easy to read. One of the things I love most about this edition is the beautiful artwork. Nearly every page has an excellent illustration on it. This is definitely a classic version of Pilgrim's Progress.	positive
0	Not what is depicted with the cover view	In searching for this title I found there were 60+ versions out there so I had to rely on both editor and cover pictorials to determine the one I was seeking (which was modern English, full page pictorials, and covering both Christian's and Christiana's journeys). Since I had the one I wanted in hand, I put a lot of faith in the cover visual. What I got was as version without full page pictures, small print and in the older dialect. From what other pilgrims have told me, the modern English version is essential in understanding this work. I donated it to the local library in hopes it will still do good.	negative
0	Ooops. Read carefully.	I expected the same book as the soft cover edition in modern English.A good story but hard to understand in old English.	negative
1	Helpful Resource for Primary Teachers	I actually bought this book for my daughter who is a 1st grade teacher, so I have not used the book personally. As a retired teacher looking through the book, I was impressed with the number of ideas given to use as a springboard for writing activities. I liked the fact that children's literature was used and that the activities were very language-based, started at an easy level (for example, recognizing action words heard in a story) then progressed to students generating their own examples. My daughter tells me that she has found this book very helpful and has shared ideas from it with her teaching co-horts.	positive
1	The Mangos rock!	No pun intended, but they are cool! Dancing in the Streets is my favorite! It is just so catchy, it really makes you want to dance! I knew the words to it the second time, and I still do!	positive
0	not a book for veterans	This book combined an exciting title with quite disappointing content to me. This is definitely not a book for those looking for solid analysis of the future of markeing and advertising, but just a laundry list of all exciting eye-catching gimmicks using wireless technologies. It looks like a cursory pachworks of materials from newspaper columns rather than a condensed book.	negative
0	Not worth the money...	Don't waste your money on this DVD if you are looking for something more than some unimpressive drawings and monotone descriptions. Honestly, I got more out of reading a junior high text book on the subject. Not engaging even for kids. I feel completely taken advantage of after having spent over $50.00 for this.	negative
0	Danger Danger Will Robinson -Foul Play!	I thought this would have four short stories instead it only has one (J. D. Robb) the rest are excerpts of up coming books (some not coming out until October)! Why would I spend 8$ for the first chapter of a book and then wait 2 more months to get the rest. If your that eager go ahead, the J. D. Robb may be worth it alone. But you were warned	negative
0	This book lacked cohesion.	This book was a collection of four completely unrelated stories. The book came from four authors of three differnt genera, two romance authors, one mystery, and one science fiction. The four stories take place in completely different universes. I read this book because I have read all of Laurell K. Hamilton's books and liked them, however the novella in this book by her is nothing of the sort, it is simply the begining of her soon to be published book Narcisis in Chains. It has no conclusion whatsoever and in my opinion publishing portions of a book piecemeal lowers the value of the total book.	negative
1	This Is a great Book to cheek out new writers	All of these are wonderful stories, I really enjoyed this book and would recomend Laurell K. Hamilton as my favorite of the authurs. Maggie Shayne would be the close second.	positive
1	Not real bad but disappointing	I had been looking forward to this book and was a little disappointed in it,but they can't all be great I guess. If you don't have anything else to read and you want to kill some time it will work.	positive
0	A little much.......	to pay for the first 6 chapters of "Narcissus in Chains" by L. Hamilton.....not that I'm not going to buy it when it does come out, but the teaser for the book inferred that it was a new story, and NOT just the opening for a new book, which is why I wanted it, only to find out otherwise. The other storys were ok, having not read any of the authors before, and I might pick up another J.D. Robb story, but later....not immediately.	negative
0	Beware of buying this book	Unless you are dying to read a JD Robb short story, don't buy this book. It is a hodge podge of non related advertisements for these authors. Two stories are exerpts from upcoming books. I found this very frustrating and unsatisfying. Skip it.	negative
0	Not worth the effort	I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A "NEW" ANITA BLAKE STORY. IN FACT IT ONLY CONTAINS THE FIRST 6 CHAPTERS OF NARCISSUS IN CHAINS. THE ROBB STORY WAS GOOD, IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE EVE DALLAS SAGA, ELSE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE TO INTREAGED BY IT. I LIKED IMMORTAL AS WELL, BUT WAS GLAD IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 100 PAGES, I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE TAKEN ANY MORE. IF I HAD REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO NEW HAMILTON STORY IN THIS ANTHOLOGY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. AS IS IT, I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE SORRY I WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY. I SUGGEST YOU READ THE ANITA BLAKE SERIES BY HAMILTON, THE DALLAS SERIES BY ROBB, AND THE DARK JEWLES SERIES BY ANNE BISHOP. DON'T WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME ON THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU ARE A DIE HARD FAN OF ONE OF THE AUTHORS.	negative
1	Interesting	I normally do not like sci-fi type books, but I have to say that the stories in this book were very well written and I really enjoyed them.	positive
0	What were you thinking?	Had it not been for Nora Robert's contribution to this book, I would have rated it with no stars. The Eve Dallas story was great as usual, however the rest of the short stories were awful. I always read what I start but in this case I should have changed that rule. Just awful!!!	negative
1	Jack Frost	I purchased this book for my son who is 3 years and 4 months old. Although the book is aimed at ages 7 plus I thought this book was an excellent purchase and a fantastic book to read. My son was totally mesmerised by the illustrations and the story of the little boy in the enchanted forest and the goblins who wanted the magic for themselves. This must be one of the first books that has really captured his attention and his imagination. In the few hours that we have owned this book I must have read it a million times. This truely is a wonderful book for any child or parent to read.	positive
1	Great for first-time homebuyers	The book goes room by room to help you plan your decorating. Good advice with more detail than you would expect--but don't expect a home renovation manual. This is more like a reminder of basic things to consider when buying and arranging furniture, linens, and appliances, selecting color schemes and styles, etc. The pictures lean toward a contemporary style, but with traditional elements like wood floors. I guess the author understands that the first home for many people is in old buildings. Many of the rooms pictured are small spaces as well.I'm guessing the author is British and many of the resources listed in the back are located in the U.K.	positive
1	Absolutely Captivating!	I can't recommend this book highly enough. All of Patricia Wynn's stories have touched my heart. Capturing Annie is especially enchanting. The characters were whimsical, yet somehow truer than real life. As with all of this author's books, there is truth and wisdom beneath the fun, sexy facade. Thank you Patricia Wynn for a wonderful tale!	positive

Funny, fast-paced, fabulous!

Claire Parker and Jack Willows are Vancouver detectives who are called to investigate a bizarre crime. The body of a man, strangely frozen in a lotus position, has been found in a Chinese ornamental garden. Around the same time, two young men decide to go beyond petty theft, and a housewife can't seem to shake the memory of her handsome car jacker. Strangely enough, these three events become intertwined and Parker and Willows must sort everything out.Watching everything come together is always so much fun in Gough's books. I really like seeing various events from different perspectives. This is a mystery, but it's also so much more - it's an intriguing look at human nature and all the shades of grey between black and white.

Good startingpoint

This book freshened me up on relational databases, which is essential for understanding sql7. after this book you can just use a cram-book for preparing for the 70-128 exam (NOT the exam cram for administering sql7 from coriolis! ) unless you need a studyguide with hands-on labs. i didnt find it to be a problem that this book is written on beta3, if you cant sort it out because of that then you have an attitudepreoblem or you are a spoiled kid. if so, ask mommy for help with your sql-studies.I learned advanced Access in a different language than english and this book helped me with some of the english DB-terminology. Im taking the test next week, my 7th MS-test, this book has saved me for weeks of studytime by pointing out the basic direction right from the begining.

SQL 7.0 BETA for dummies

This book is obviously written on the author's work on the Beta version of SQL 7.0. Unfortunately Microsoft has changed several things from the beta to the final release, which makes this book a poor buy. At least if you were planning on leaning how to install a SQL server, then your money is absolutely wasted...

I must really be a Dummy

I'm new to SQL/SQL Server, and was looking for a basic intro to the package. The book does an excellent job introducing all of the features and functions, but not much else. Real-world examples were there, but very limited. As I read, I often found myself asking, in a manner of speaking, "sure, that's what button I push, but WHY do I push it?"I did walk away with an appreciation for the complexity of SQL Server 7. Save yourself the cash, and read the product documentation instead.

Too much documentation rehash; not enough concepts/explanati

I was disappointed with this book. Many trade books that are the first out to cover cutting edge topics merely take the documentation and present it a little differently (i.e. "To use this feature, first click this, then enter this, now do this." etc.) IMHO, there is too much of this in this book. Also, there is not enough explanations of the features of SQL Server 7.0 to help you understand them or how they could be used. This is the first Dummies book I have been disappointed with.

Very disappointed with this book

I bought this book hoping that I could get my feet wet with SQL 7 and then get into more detail with the SQL Book Online. This book offers little more than screen shots and it does not help you gain an understanding of database concepts. If you need to administer SQL or develop with SQL, you're better off with a more complete book. I bought Using SQL Server 7.0 from QUE and am pleased with it.

Too Long Too Thin

This mat is very long - two children could use it @ the same time - which is longer than needed. Also it says extra thick - it is as thin or thiner than every yoga mat i've used plus if you sweat @ all its like doing yoga on a slip 'n slide. I gave it away and went back to using the floor.

A Magical Irish Treasure Chest

This book was written by Lady Wilde who was Oscar Wilde's mother, and what a wonderful book it is. Although the book is called Irish Cures, Mystic Charms & Superstitions, it also contains a section of proverbs, information about the fairy race, traditions and the uses of herbs. The writing is beautiful and I can almost hear Gaelic when reading how to cure dropsy or keep a changeling from being substituted for a mother's baby. That this advice was actually used is so mind-opening in this day and age of technology where the cure for everything is probably on cable TV.Lady Wilde was extremely talented and she collected a multitude of Irish make-believe and folk advice into these priceless pages. It's also a cheerful read for night-time reading. You can pick it up anywhere and find something interesting and amusing.As I turn off my cell phone and computer, I pick up Lady Wilde's book and put myself in another century and place.

Great book! I purchased this book because I have a student who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I wanted the class to understand what their classmate was going through and to answer any questions they may have. I truly believe that educating children on issue such as this will help enhance their lives as well as the child who is experiencing it first hand. Thanks Kim, for a wonderful book for all ages!!

Great Book

This book is great my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year when she was in Kindergarden and the kids really liked it. She also took it to her class this year and helps the kids to understand why she is treated a little bit differently as far as being able to get snacks and having to leave the classroom.

Highly recommended!

I purchased this book to share with the first and second grade classroom who will be getting a new student who is diabetic. It was great! Explained what diabetes is, that it is not contagious (kids won't catch it) and what to expect. It talked about the highs and the lows, about not sharing food because he has a special food plan to help control the diabetes, about the testing meter, the shots, and the pump. I loved that it shared suggestions about what behaviors they might see in their new classmate that might indicate that he is having a problem and what to do it they see them. It even had a little quiz at the end.I highly recommend the book.

Good Product--Excellent Price

This product was purchased as a result of my father-in-law having knee replacement surgery. While he was hospitalized, he used this type of equipment for rehab purposes. He talked about how it helped him tremendously, and my husband and I decided to surprise him with one of his own. He loves it; it continues to help in with his rehab. We were told by relatives that he sometimes wants to exceed the amount of reps as perscribed by the doctor so they have to take it from him (smile) which in my opinion is a good thing. We loved the price and the free shipping. Comparable items pricewise ranged from $80 to $125+.

Great additional storage

We bought this cargo box for extra needed space for a family camping trip. With having 2 children (in car seats), 2 bikes, 2 bike trailers, coolers, and all of the other camping stuff for an extended camping trip we knew it was this or take 2 cars. The Thule cargo box will pay for itself in several camping trips with the current price of gas. The amount of items this cargo box can hold is amazing. We were able to fit a double bike trailer, a single bike trailer, sleeping bags, pillows, and more. I've also used it for a weekend shopping trip with the ladies.The attachment to the car is easy. My husband and I had it done in less than 10 minutes. We own an Acura MDX and some reviews I saw said we would need a special adapter to attach it to the roof rack but this was not the case. We ordered the adapter but have not had to use it.I would recommend this cargo box to anyone who needs extra storage space.

DVD unreliable, sound quality poor.

I bought this in September 2008. The DVD on this unit has always been temperamental. Often it would reject the disc repeatedly before playing it. The DVD unit now does not function at all. The sound quality is poor. The volume stays all the way to 100 and it is still difficult to hear at times (I am not hard of hearing). On the plus side, the picture quality is fine. The unit was easy to set up.

Don't buy it!

I have been taking this product for a week. Since I started taking this product, I have had severe chest pains. I have stopped and suddenly feel better. I am returning it and I don't recommend anyone purchase this product. There are no FAQs on the company website. They claim no side effects, but I have experienced a strong one. There is no real quantified list of ingredients since there is no governing body (FDA) evaluating the product. It contains green tea extract and there is NO way to complete remove all caffeine. They could sell sweetened dirt in a bottle and you'd be none the wiser. If Lo Han extract is so strong, why does the product also contain stevia? I could go on and on with this one. The "nutritionists" who sell this gave me a canned response and didn't really answer my questions or offer to refund my money. Poor customer service from the maker direct!

Pure Inventions Green Tea Extract

I hate tea, but know that all the antioxidants,etc are good for me. I was stoked when I saw this stuff in a catalog. I am on my third bottle. One dropperful a day is equal to something like 30 cups of green tea (gross). Not the best tasting stuff, but I hold my nose and put a dropperful in my mouth, then chase it down with water. There are, of course, other more sophisicated ways of taking it.

peculiar

This is a peculiar and troubling book. The author says that secularism is "the rigid control of religious life by the state." That's sure not the way we think of secularism in the US. Furthermore, I can't imagine that many would dismiss the Magna Carta as blithely as the author does on pg. 25 of the hardcover. Bottom line: I found Paul Berman's book Terror and Liberalism far more logical about what's going on in Islam.

Unless you have teeny tiny ears..... don't buy this

Sound is ok, but the ear pieces are poorly designed, too small, and squash your earlobes. Expect pain after about 10 minutes.They are 100% plastic. I broke mine trying to loosen them up. They look pretty ugly all taped up, but now they are loose enough to wear.

Poor Right Out of the BOX!

After reading the variety of reviews on Amazon I still went ahead and bought a pair. What a mistake! First I waited 24 hours for the batteries to charge, a little long bey hey, I waited patiently. Next, the base unit wouldn't turn on. Instruction said the base unit automatically turns on when the headphones are turned on. Nope. I had to unplug the base unit and plug back in to turn it on. Next, they a constant low level hissing...on every channel. And don't change headphone channels with them on your ears or you get a very LOUD popping noise. And the grand finale was they automatically shut off every 3-5 minutes. Packing them up tomorrow and shipin em back...

I agreed with all the negative reviews here.

Unfortunately I saw them after I bought the item.The material is cheap. The sound quality is so so.If you move your head around, the static noisequickly occurs. And it keeps pressing my ears althoughI have small ears. And it costs a fountune. Pleasedo not buy it.

very poor plastic construction, but can be fixed; bulky

Plastic pivot axes were broken after about 1 year of occasional usage. But sound is still there, range is satisfactory (not 300 feet as advertised, but sufficient for a regular house, 50 feet). Rechargable battery still works after 4-5 years no replacement, but capacity has dropped and need recharging every 2h.Because it still works I gave 2 stars. Otherwise construction is very poor. It will certainly break on you even if you do not abuse them at all. First ear peace was broken after 6 month. I fixed it with duct tape, but it did not last. So I put a metal bracket (from used computer slots) and taped both peaces. Looks ugly and bulky, but it works for last 3 years. After about one year second ear peace was broken I fixed it (you guess) same way.I doubt this product has ever passed ANY quality control. Buy only if you have spare metal brackets and know how to tape it.

Very disappointing

I'd like to think the poor performance was a result of my unique (noisy signal) environment rather than the possibility that $150 headphones could be that bad. Or maybe they were just defective. I thought I had set my expectations rather low, fully anticipating some static. But, no matter where I went in my house and no matter which of the three channels I used, I got about 60% noise and 40% content at best.

There's a reason these are on special....

It's because they are uncomfortable to wear.Reviewer who complained about the earpiece size and shape was right. They ride right on your earlobe and it doesn't take too long before it gets to be painful. I cleverly tried to loosen mine up a little and broke the plastic headpiece.Bad news is it doesn't look so nice, but good news is that now it doesn't hurt to wear them for awhile.Sound, etc. is just fine for most people but I wouldn't buy them again.

Bad receiption, can't move your head, high pitch noises

I read the review, still thought to give a try as it was cheap. However after using it I returned it in a week. Amazon was good to take back the product without the shipping charge.This product gives lots of noise, it will be worse if you move your head even one inch. Sometime those noise are high pitch noise, which really annoy someone, who want to concentrate for work, while avoiding outside noise.I actually took this product for my work place, where I want to do coding without outside disturbance by putting some slow instrumental song. It didn't work out, I was sitting only 3-4 feet away from the transmitter, I even tried retuning many many times.They have given one extra battery for headphone, that sits in the base station, behind the antenna.

Not as good as I thought.

I bought these headphones less than a year ago. Then they quit. I only used them 2 hours per night to watch TV. I had good reception (went outside with them behind my house), while they were working. I sent them back to the factory in Old Saybrook, CT. It appeared they sent me a new set. But they only worked for a few minutes and then cut out. Try another brand.

Good headphones but they don't last

I have two sets of the RS 65 headphones. Each of them has a broken bracket that holds the earpiece to the headband. I thought that I stepped on one to break it but the other one definetly broke during normal use. So far I have been searching for replacement brackets online but no luck. I will call Sennheiser directly tommorrow. I paid alot for these headphones and expected longer service.We did like theses headphones very much until they broke after a year or so. Previously we had Advent headphones that we had to tweak the tuning on constantly to get reception. I am thinking about gutting the electronics out of the headphones and building a little box that I can put in my pocket and plug wired headphones into so that when they break they'll be cheap to replace.

Great sound, cheap shoddy construction

The sound quality and performance of these headphones are great, but they last about 6 months since the headset is very cheaply constructed. I had one earpiece fall off after the plastic holding it together gave way after a couple months of occasional use. I taped that side up, but then the other earpiece fell off a month after that. ...Save your money and buy another brand.

I got this headphones on December 18,2004.As of March 23,2004,today,the headphones keep shutting down after a few minutes,the system just doesn't stay on.When I do get them to work(just for a few minutes) and turn my head the sound cuts out.There is a two year warranty,parts and labor but according to Amazon's customer service you have to address the manafacturer to honor the 2 year warranty ,and guess what?THE MANUFACTURER IS IN GERMANY.

Cheap plastic breaks after a short period of time

Sound quality ok. No way 300 feet, more like 75. Who ever engineered control switches must of hated home electronic fans. Switches are small and illogical. Almost impossible to control by feel(after a few months of use you will be able to control volume and on/off without removing from your head to take a look), just moronicPlastic on both sides have broken and been fixed with super glue(no other way to do at all as pieces are so minute). Super glue fails and must do again, and of course once glued the pivoting feature for ear comfort no longer works as it is glued.I think these engineers should go out and see what we chickens are eating out here before they foist their imaginative experiments on us.Anyhing else you wish to know????

RFP from Fla.

The headphones were great! But, the control volume was hard to find if you fail a sleep and wokeup to change the volume. That was the only problem with the headphones. Great headphones and the best money could buy if you look for quality and sound. This was the one! Buy it! These headphones could be a 5 star if you are looking for great sound and comfort!

Not what I had hoped for

I bought these to use after the rest of the family had gone to bed, so I could listed to music & watch movies without disturbing them.Unlike some of the other reviewers, I found the sound to be generally perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the sound was only clear when my head was stationary. Moving around the house or even turning my head cause a lot of cracks and pops in the sound.I found this so intrusive that these went back to Amazon after only a few hours. I couldn't see the point of paying ...for headphones that made my CDs sound like they were being played on a distant radio station. I guess that this is unavoidable to some extent, given that it is a radio signal that carries the sound to the headphones, but I was appalled how bad it was.So, I guess my take-home message is that if you're considering these as your first wireless headphones, be prepared that the sound quality will not be as good as a pair that come with a cord.

THESE ARE AWFUL!

The sound quality is fine and the range is okay, but the headphones are so poorly constructed that I have been through two pairs in 6 months. I was extremely careful with the second pair and they just broke this morning after only 3 months of use. The joints that hold the the phones are weak and plastic. DON'T DO IT! These won't last.

Great Introduction to Divination in a variety of forms

I came to this book when I was looking into Divination 101 books for Pagans and Wiccans who were a part of my study group. I purchased the book and went through it to find that it was a great Divination 101 book and subsequently used it for one of my Divination online study groups (the other one dealt with Tarot).Personally, I created and still use today 3 of the divination forms that were described within the book. I especially like the Witch's Geomancy as the symbolism works for me.When it does come back into print.. get this book. Otherwise, buy a 2nd hand copy (from the 'net or local 2nd hand bookstore).

Great radio, great price!

Great radio, compact, yet powerful. Water resistant, subchannels and digital codes make this a practical radio. The range is reported at 5 miles, but don't expect to get that distance in urban or crowed suburbs - its closer to 1.5 miles in these areas, and clear. The only down side with this radio is the required FCC license - $75 for a 5 year license, but the GMRS is definately the way to go when compared to the FRS radios for keeping a family in touch in the larger amusment parks. The license fee is a small price to pay for the added security of the radios' range. I checked all over the web and in sporting goods stores, and Amazon.com has the best price for this pair!

Nice train

This is my first O-gauge train set. I got it to play with my 2-year old son who loves trains. He is delighted with it. He is able to operate the controls with supervision (especially the whistle), but he cannot put the train on the track or hook up the cars. The sounds are realistic, but they can get annoying. Luckily you can adjust the volume or even completely turn them off. The cars are plastic with metal wheels and running gear. They look nice, but are not as realistic as some (probably much more expensive) I've seen. The engine is all metal, and is very heavy. The train had stood up to alot more abuse than it should get.

Unmarried? You will enjoy this book. Single? You might want to look elsewhere.

This is a great book for unmarried women looking for ideas on how to move through their world with a significant other and/or dating. However, this book is not for the single women. Single is different than unmarried. Single is without a significant other and/or not dating. Unmarried is not married but still dating and/or having a significant other. It may seem like nitpicking but the detail is important because the book is not written for the single woman. If you are looking for a book for women not in the dating game, "Quirkyalone" would be a better pick. It includes activities for people not dating and/or without a significant other. Otherwise, if you are unmarried, there are several good ideas about activities to do, people to cavort with, etc. in this book.Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics

Not enough Substance-JUST OKAY

I was very excited to recieve this book, and began reading it right away. About a chapter in I wasn't so excited to continue this and found it harder to pick it up. The author does give helpful advice that is fun to keep in mind when you are single and ideas for what to do with yourself. The part I personally did not care for is that half the book are stories from other singles, I found myself skimming through every story just to get to the main point paragraphs after each one. If you don't mind reading those than you will enjoy this book. But for me I want to get to the point, I want facts, and substance. I don't want to read about what Janet age 30 is doing with her single life!!

This is a great book for all ladies who have been through tough times and have lost hope for love in the future. It teaches you in a realistic and amusing way that it's okay to be single and it's okay to be with someone. It's helped myself and a few friends get through tough times. It's one I always recommend to a girlfriend in need of some hope for the future.

Got Everything We Need

Long-time Cranes fan here. Since 1990. I've run the gamut with them, definitely. Years of music, changing styles, etc. But this album ranks as one of my favorites by them; and I dare say it may make it into my top 10 of all time. A simple, honest, straightforward shot of songs. It's a mysterious and enthralling musical landscape that I enjoy roaming with each new listen. It's innocent and often eerie explorations of outer space-ness, and all the forces in our world we can't see yet we know are there (like wind, or the stars in the daytime) are magnificent. Highlights: "Here Comes The Snow", "Particles and Waves" and "Far From the City." Cranes fans will adore it, and new listeners will as well.

Told As It Was

Please do not be put off by fours stars: this is a superb book about early WWII written by someone who 'was there'. The lack of a fifth star merely reflects my desire to have seen a longer, even more in-depth, book. I was born in 1950, so my knowledge of those days is gained mostly by people like John Hersey. Also, my uncle (and namesake) was a member of Edson's Raiders--and he was there, too. I have had the great good fortune to have met many of the Raiders and others on Guadalcanal and I find "Into the Valley" to be most accurate of the descriptions told to me by these veterans. All human, the Marines had to draw on their training and leadership to get themselves through the bitter fighting and to prevail against unsettling odds on Guadalcanal. Hersey allows us to see the Marines as human--young boys and men, for the most part. He paints success and he paints failure with an honest brush. This is a "must read" for anyone interested in WWII and the South Pacific.

A classic!

I loved this book because, along with Guadalcanal Diary, it is one of the only contemporaneous narratives of life on Guadalcanal. I only wish it were 1000 pages. Most war memoirs are seemingly written 30 years on whereas this book has a great sense of immediacy...read it if you love WW2!

A "new" old blues treasure discovered!

Great blues vocals! A treasury of traditional and original songs. That someone like Cootie Stark had to wait until his seventies to get the recognition he deserves is sad, but more so is the likely loss of other great "first generation" blues musicians. Thankfully, not this time. The infectious "Jigeroo" and other more traditional blues tunes make this a welcome addition to any blues library. This and other CDs from Cello/Music Maker confirm they continue to make recording and production excellence their standard. P. Poliski

W-O-W!

Maghann O'Neill thought she had killed her evil master, Simon Baldevar, decades ago. She was wrong. During her freedom, Maggie had been learning to control blood lust, finish school to become a psychologist to help abused human wives and children, and learning all she could of her vampire powers from Alcuin (as his apprentice).But Simon had been gaining power. Silently he had been plotting for revenge against Maggie and all those who either helped her escape him or that she cared for.***** Pure horror at its finest! Trisha Baker hooked me from the beginning and held onto me for the entire length of the book! Parts of the book were so graphic that I admit to being attracted and repelled at the same time! It was so well written I could easily picture it happening as I read it. Yes, Readers, this author is THAT TALENTED! Extremely recommended for all horror fans! *****

High Resistance = Low Performance

The resistance in the keys is very high in this keyboard, especially in the keys that are normally struck by the pinky fingers. Very irritating for those of us who type with the occasional capital letter, and must constantly correct the capitalization because our beleaguered pinkies didn't press the stiff buttons down far enough. However, this probably won't be as big a problem to those who type all in lower-case.I finally gave up and bought a laptop style keyboard (even though the command key is in the wrong place), due to my intense frustration at having to retype constantly.

Pretty Good

This is pretty good keyboard, for the price, especially becuase it has two USB ports. I have an ibook, which only comes with two USB ports of its own, so having the extra two is very nice. It was pretty easy to set up too, just plug it in and your Mac pretty much does the rest. The only problem I have with this is the depth of the keys. If you are used to typing on a laptop that has shallow key depths, it takes a little time to get used to this keyboard. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but it does slow down my typing. But then again, I probably would have had the same problem with any other keyboards.

Murder and More

I bought this set no knowing anything about the series and was very pleased, not the best series I have ever watched, but very good. The stories are entertaining and well thought out.

This is a series where the characters are real and likable. The relationships between the characters are well developed.

I like it and recommend it.

Much of the success of murder mysteries depends on mood. People who compare this series to Morse or Jane Tennyson are idiots.

Blue Murder - blu who who

Blue Murder is perfect for those who really want a weepy soap opera, but whose significant other demands a mystery. The main character is infuriatingly bland and one wonders how or why she became a Chief Inspector, or an actress for that matter. The dialogue, such as it is, begs the question: Are you really trying to put us to sleep? You'll hear such memorable lines as (disclaimer: I made these up. Actual lines may be far worse.) "We've got to work hard to crack this case!" and "Let's all work together!" She should have added, "And I really, really mean it!"Some of the supporting cast are wonderful and will no doubt keep you from kicking in the front of your TV. When the main character appears, use the fast forward, mate. Don't worry, you won't miss any of the plot.

Disappointing

I bought these for home and work, thinking I'd be able to listen to the MP3s on my computer while roaming from room to room.Well, forget that. Despite the claims that you can hear your music through "walls and ceilings", the reality is that even one or two thick walls will block clear reception. And I don't know where they came up with that "300 foot" range for the reception, but it's just not true. In addition, the power cord and audio jack are way too short, limiting your ability to position the transmitter to where it might do some more good. If you're looking to listen to your TV or stereo from across the room, this might be the product for you, but if you want to listen to music in the backyard, you'd be better off with something else.

I have several RS 4 & RS 40/45 headphones.I recently purchased 2 RS 110 headphones to replace the RS 40/45.Don't bother with the older models.The RS 110 or the RS 120 is much improved.Longer range, better sound quality, better mechanical engineering, improved transmitter/receiver. The RS 110/120 uses 2xAAA alkaline or rechargeable batteries, so you can replace them when the wear out.(Don't use alkaline in the RS 120 because you may forget and put the headphones on the charging stand and cause the batteries to rupture.)

Like all the other videos in this series, you get a view from a helicoptor of all the major tourist sights in the specified country, in this case, Scotland. Most of us have not flown in a helicoptor over a country. So we all get a view that we cannot get from a walking or driving tour. It's well-done.

Very disappointing.....

Too much of the video in this film focused on urban areas, no footage of the western Islands or the NW coast at all. Not even a shot of Cape Wrath. I also found the music to be a great annoyance. Why in the world use Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and other incongruous non-Celtic tracks when there is a treasure-trove of beautiful music from the Gaelic -speaking parts of British Islands to choose from, much of which must be in public domain by now? The narration was pleasant enough, but lacked any depth or real historical information. I wasn't expecting a major documentary here, but I was expecting a lot more than I got. Also, don't be fooled by the 88 min stated length. Twenty-nine minutes of this is outtakes with no narration, so I feel even more ripped off. Basically little more than insipid eye candy that is only of passing interest. I wish I'd have skipped it altogether.

Mediocre

RoA is not a bad book. It's just not a good book. If your goal is to read every fantasy book set in a medieval period, this one won't give you a headache. But make sure you read it before you go on to Robin Hobb's Farseer saga or George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. That's how I came to David Coe's book, and he suffers in the comparison. A great deal of the first quarter of the book is given over to exposition. And I could live with that. His land has some novel ideas. What's not so great is Coe waits forever to give us characters to hang our hat on. Until then, the reader is left standing around waiting for someone to invite them to the party.

I Read all the reviews and thouth this was going to be a treat. Man was I wrong. It was not one twist och plot development that didnt shine throut at least a chapter ahead. I love when writes expand their character and Coe does that mentally but when it comes to physical apperance it goes sour. All I know of Tavis is that he has blond strait hair and that Grinsa is tall and Broad chested for a Qirsi. And people are grinning ALOT in this book.Something else that boardered me was that "SPOILER WARNING" that the only thing that keept Tavis From confession during the torture was pride. I belived that pride was the first thing to go under these circumstances. My advice read anouther book because this I do not like.

A welcome contribution to deaf studies

Meticulously compiled and expertly edited by Elizabeth A. Winston, Educational Interpreting: How It Can Succeed is a scholarly anthology of essays by learned authors concerning the strengths and weaknesses of the practice of educational interpreting for deaf students. The contributors are all experts in the field and include former educational interpreters, teachers of deaf students, interpreter trainers, and deaf recipients of interpreted education. Divided into three sections - once focusing on deaf students themselves and the language myths that surround them, one raising questions about the support and training that interpreters have in and from the school systems, and one considering suggestions for improving the problems facing interpreted education, and how to improve situations for educational interpreters. A welcome contribution to deaf studies and a critical assessment of the skill of educational interpretation itself.

This is a really well done edition of Pilgrim's Progress. It was adapted into modern English and yet they kept the heart of the story all the key aspects while making it very easy to read.

Not what is depicted with the cover view

In searching for this title I found there were 60+ versions out there so I had to rely on both editor and cover pictorials to determine the one I was seeking (which was modern English, full page pictorials, and covering both Christian's and Christiana's journeys). Since I had the one I wanted in hand, I put a lot of faith in the cover visual. What I got was as version without full page pictures, small print and in the older dialect. From what other pilgrims have told me, the modern English version is essential in understanding this work. I donated it to the local library in hopes it will still do good.

I actually bought this book for my daughter who is a 1st grade teacher, so I have not used the book personally. As a retired teacher looking through the book, I was impressed with the number of ideas given to use as a springboard for writing activities. I liked the fact that children's literature was used and that the activities were very language-based, started at an easy level (for example, recognizing action words heard in a story) then progressed to students generating their own examples. My daughter tells me that she has found this book very helpful and has shared ideas from it with her teaching co-horts.

This book lacked cohesion.

This book was a collection of four completely unrelated stories. The book came from four authors of three differnt genera, two romance authors, one mystery, and one science fiction. The four stories take place in completely different universes. I read this book because I have read all of Laurell K. Hamilton's books and liked them, however the novella in this book by her is nothing of the sort, it is simply the begining of her soon to be published book Narcisis in Chains. It has no conclusion whatsoever and in my opinion publishing portions of a book piecemeal lowers the value of the total book.

to pay for the first 6 chapters of "Narcissus in Chains" by L. Hamilton.....not that I'm not going to buy it when it does come out, but the teaser for the book inferred that it was a new story, and NOT just the opening for a new book, which is why I wanted it, only to find out otherwise. The other storys were ok, having not read any of the authors before, and I might pick up another J.D. Robb story, but later....not immediately.

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A "NEW" ANITA BLAKE STORY. IN FACT IT ONLY CONTAINS THE FIRST 6 CHAPTERS OF NARCISSUS IN CHAINS.

I LIKED IMMORTAL AS WELL, BUT WAS GLAD IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 100 PAGES, I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE TAKEN ANY MORE. IF I HAD REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO NEW HAMILTON STORY IN THIS ANTHOLOGY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. AS IS IT, I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE SORRY I WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY. I SUGGEST YOU READ THE ANITA BLAKE SERIES BY HAMILTON, THE DALLAS SERIES BY ROBB, AND THE DARK JEWLES SERIES BY ANNE BISHOP. DON'T WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME ON THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU ARE A DIE HARD FAN OF ONE OF THE AUTHORS.

Great for first-time homebuyers

The book goes room by room to help you plan your decorating. Good advice with more detail than you would expect--but don't expect a home renovation manual. This is more like a reminder of basic things to consider when buying and arranging furniture, linens, and appliances, selecting color schemes and styles, etc. The pictures lean toward a contemporary style, but with traditional elements like wood floors. I guess the author understands that the first home for many people is in old buildings. Many of the rooms pictured are small spaces as well.I'm guessing the author is British and many of the resources listed in the back are located in the U.K.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. All of Patricia Wynn's stories have touched my heart. Capturing Annie is especially enchanting. The characters were whimsical, yet somehow truer than real life. As with all of this author's books, there is truth and wisdom beneath the fun, sexy facade. Thank you Patricia Wynn for a wonderful tale!
