Inability to fax multiple pages
|
If you like a machine pulling multiple pages through at one time and being forced to feed each page before it shuts off, then this is the machine for you.

Feeds more than one sheet at a time.
|
I think the most frustrating thing about a fax machine, is when you put your four or five page fax into the feeder, and the machine sucks two or three sheets at once ruining your whole fax! I especially got this machine because I thought it was a quality machine, and wouldn't do that, but I was wrong. Sometimes this machine sucks more than one sheet at a time which is very frustrating. I would stay away. It prints nicely, but it doesn't help if it ruins your faxes. I see other reviewers have the same problem.

Don't waste your money
|
We bought this because we wanted to be able to send a 10+ page fax well. It constantly pulls more than one page if you have under 5 pages...this results in you haveing to hold each page separate until the one before it gets sucked up. The most annoying thing is that it doesn't hold much paper and is constantly running out if you don't frequently check it. AND! once the paper runs out, We have a hard time getting a new stack of paper to load. I keeps saying load paper, and you jiggle the stack around and it rotates the roller but never sucks up a new piece and keeps showing "Load Paper" I will fiddle with it for about twenty min. before it grabs the first page and works properly. Needless to say I am searching for a new machine and when I find one I am throwing this the L80 into the lake at the next "Load Paper".

Must be a better machine
|
Replaced an old Sharp fax machine with what I thought was newer and better machine. WRONG!! if you don't baby it , it will not feed multiple pages. likes to pull two or three sheets at a time. What a pain! Other functions are not as intuitive as one would expect.

Feeds more than one page at a time
|
I am surprised to see positive feedback for this fax machine. Ours frequently takes in more than one page at a time when sending a fax so I aways need to hold on to all but the bottom page to keep all pages from all going through. I find this machine very frustrating.

This book is not what I expected. Contents 99% collection ofblack&white; postcardlike pictures. No interior pictures or written technical info. I paid USD 38.93 incl. overseas shipping-charge to The Netherlands, however, USD 10.00 should be the max I should pay for it in any book-outletstore.CJ van ToornAmsterdam, the Netherlands

Don't bother with these

I picked up a 10 pk about a week ago ...b when they are onsale ... Burned 3 coasters so far and I will try to return them if I can. BTW, I used both Nero and Pinnacle InstantCopy and tried both movies and data files. Same process worked flawlessly for Memorex DVD-R and RW, and Pioneer's bundled DVD-RW so it's not a software issue. My drive is the Pioneer DVR-105 4x DVDR-RW. Don't waste your money here.

These DVD's appear to work until you try to read them
|
Purchased a spindle of 25 of these and they appeared to work great. Then I tried to read the data from them. I tried several DVD burners including the ones I wrote these with and most would read the first 60-65% then fail reading the balance of the DVD. Some would not read at all. I got the same results with DVD readers.Tried to get support from Khypermedia concerning the problem and all they wanted to do was have me ship them to them so they could send me more. Since I had used TDK, MEMOREX, and FUJI DVD's with Sony, NEC, and Optorite burners without a problem I wasn't willing to pay shipping to receive more bad DVD's.You have been warned!

If your looking for another Don Juan,you have come to the wrong place.Bad as bad can get.(At least I could watch Cuban Rebel Girls as bad it was)How Errol ever got Agnes Moorehead and Vincent price to do this is a mystery to me.(I wonder if they were still talking to Errol when this was finished?)Errol is credited with the screenplay(Ill bet he later regreted that)William Marshall,ex actor(Santa Fe Trail with Errol)director.as for the story,1840 New Orleans.Errol is a sea captain who gets involved in a murder along with costar,Micheline Presle.In this economy(or any other)My advice is save your money.

One of Flynn's Worst Films
|
Be forewarned: Errol Flynn's "Adventures of Captain Fabian" (1951) is NOT a swashbuckler. The screen legend wrote the convoluted screenplay for this dreary French melodrama (with uncredited direction by Robert Florey). Boring beyond belief, despite the presence of Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead. Republic Pictures distributed Flynn's low-budget misadventure - a production wholly deserving of its obscurity.

Best Books Ever!

I love these books they really show how the future could be for those who don't accept the truth before then. They are a real eye opener and I would recomend them to anyone! I would like to thank Jerry B. Jenkins, and Tim LaHaye for writing these books. The world needs more writers like these two. Keep up the good work!

For all to read and believe!

I am right now into the middle of the third book in the series, Nicolae. I cannot put these books down. I purchased the first six books all at one time so as to have the next one available immediately after I finished the one before it. I am deeply moved in my own spirituality and faith in Jesus due to the lives of the characters in the series. Being a Christian myself, Revelations was always the most difficult book to put into a set time pattern. With the help of Mr's LeHaye and Jenkins it has been done. I am truely greatful to the both of them, that they have produced a set of books that truely has the Kingdom of God in mind. God will surely bless both the writers and the readers of these books.

READ AND THINK
|
These books will make you think. They are easy to read, though not an insult by being too easy. The Left Behind Series provide just enough for a reader to escape and enjoy, or for a reader to get a Bible out and research to see if LaHaye and Jenkins are right. They are great.

I ordered this set and when it arrived in the mail it was a paper copy of a book in the series that I already had! Was not happy with my response from the company. I chalk this up to one of those one time bad deals. Amazon did a great job of making sure my money was returned to me. Kudos to Amazon.

Good books, but inaccurate...
|
First off, I think the books are great! The charactors and the story line is great. However, when comparing these books to Revelations, the books are very inaccurate. But, there are some things that are exactly the same as Revelations describe. If you want a good, fictional book, these are great! If you're looking for the truth about what the Bible really says, these aren't going to help much. A little, but not exactly. The books are great though! I think they're worth reading. They've made me more interested in the end times and what's going to happen, which has made me turn to my Bible a lot more, seeking answers. I hope this helped! :-)

Worst writing I've ever encountered!
|
I am absolutely amazed that such juvenile, weak writing could hold anyone's interest. I kept seeing these books on the best-seller lists and decided to see what all the fuss was about. Apparently there are a great many people who will support even the poorest excuse for a book as long as it espouses their particular doctrinal point of view. Those who think this series is going to be convincing to non-believers are fooling themselves! I have a strong belief in God and a deep Christian faith, but these overblown, poorly-written books just seem to me like blatant opportunism in the name of religion. How anyone coulod consider them well written...or even interesting...is beyond me.

twisted
|
How twisted to believe that a loving creator would cause such misery and suffering. A person has to be sick in the heart and twisted in the mind to believe such nonsense. People will believe anything, it doesn't matter how outrageous, how ridiculous or how detrimental. This is a good example of why Patricarchal religions are a negative force. The writing is 3rd grade. The story is Christian propaganda, wishful thinking!!!

The best paddle case yet.
|
I don't mind if this case is a bit oversize. I don't even mind if it flashes the "Butterfly" brand logo on the outside (I am not fan of any brand). Still, this case is the best I have tried yet (and I have about 7). Together with a fullsize paddle, it fits two 3 stars balls, comfortably (I have even placed two paddles and two balls inside and have kept all of them safe and unscratched). differently from a previous reviewer, I don't find a problem that the case has no strap inside. In fact, I am glad it does not have any because there is no need. The paddle will not move around and will not be damaged (unless you run a truck over it or drop it from a three story building) --the inside padding is perfect enough to protect your paddle. No wonder I bought two of these cases.

Cover does the job but there's better

The Butterfly is a normal TT racket case with a foam protective layer. It protects the racket from typical dust and rubbing about on things but if you have a nice racket, a hard case is recommended.

Great Book-Fun Reading!!!!
|
Taming The Beast Within is a book written by someone who grew up the same era as I did, questioned the world, and when the answers weren't acceptable, searched on. Weiss's outlook on life is witty, cynical, and very true.He makes you think about life and why as humans we do the things we do. His take on religion had me laughing because it is so truthful. (It would probably cause a riot in the Middle East).If you can see the humor in this book, I believe that you will enjoy reading it. I give two thumbs up to MH Weiss and Taming The Beast Within!!!

Good Prenatal Workout
|
Before I became pregnant I was doing Taebo, kickboxing, and lots of weights & cardio at the gym (about 5-6 days I week I worked out). Once I found out I was pregnant I knew I needed to be more gentle with my body so I purchased several prenatal videos. This one is one of my favorites (the other 2 I like a lot are 'The Perfect Pregnancy Workout' & Hotmama's Challenging prenatal workout with Terri Bryant). I have found that no prenatal videos work me as hard as I am used to but I guess that is the point. This dvd recording looks a little amateurish but gives a pretty decent workout so I can over look that. Overall I would recommend this as a good solid prenatal workout for any one in any trimester.

Excellent Pregnancy Workout

I started this workout at 24 weeks and I think it is great for all areas of the body! I love the fact that Erin includes water breaks throughout the workout and I think the music selection is very appropriate. The workout doesn't drag on either...the 40 minutes is over before you know it! The 20 minute partner workout is fantastic too...my husband even enjoyed it! I have not tried the postnatal workout yet but I'm sure it is great!

Definitely a work out for those who were not very active prior to pregnancy
|
I am a heavy woman who wasn't really active pre-pregnancy. I decided to get a fitness DVD to help maintain my weight. I am only 15 weeks and this was challenging especially for someone of my size. BUT I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS!!! Erin kept me motivated and I continuously stated "I Can Do This"! I felt energized and proud that I am taking healty steps for me and my little one. There are parts that are overwhelming and I simply slow down the pace but I remain in motion at all times. I really feel this will help me maintain a healthier lifestyle.

This DVD would be a great workout for beginners. For someone who is very active and used to Insanity/p90x/bob Harper workouts, this DVD is pretty boring.

I put this in thinking oh no it's going to be cheesy but it ended up being a blast. I'm in good shape and wanted to stay that way throughout pregnancy. This is a great video for someone who is in good shape and wants to stay that way. It might be pretty challenging for a beginner. If I were a beginner I'd order this product and another easier to build up strength to this video. I also have Lindsay Brin trimester series and I really love those for weight training/cardio mix. I just bought this one for it's more solid nature in cardio and keeping the heart rate up.

Cannot play this DVD in Australia
|
I'm sure this is a great dvd, but after waiting almost 2 months for it to be delivered to Australia I have discovered it does not play here (due to the region). Very disappointing and frustrating. Do not buy this if you are ordering from Australia, unless you have a multi-region dvd player or computer on which to watch it (which I don't). There was nothing on the description of the dvd on amazon website to explain that it would not play in Australia.

Sick and twisted thinking about pregnancy and natal care
|
This lady seems to think of pregnancy as something to fix and get past as quickly as possible. From her blog:"The main reasons to continue exercising through your pregnancy include: 1) Less weight gained = less weight to take off after the baby is born 2) You will have a smaller baby, which is easier to give birth to 3) You will endure labor better."Is she concerned about her looks or about her baby? I can't tell.

Creating New Myths for Women
|
In the tradition of Jean Shinoda Bolen,author of The Goddesses in Every Women and The Gods in Every Man, this book elucidates exciting insights from mythology and their power to transform our lives. Spellbound, I read Paint the Sky and Dance with awe for the author's ability to weave together information from such far reaching sources as the Gnostic Gospels to The Illiad to Joseph Campbell and Dante. With relevance and reverance for women's lives, the book invites the reader to create her own myth and offers 10 thought provoking questions which assist in knowing her old myth , so that she can create a new one. That is,one can gain self-knowledge so that one can start anew to transform one's life.This process offers the opportunity to make a significant difference in the way one views herself and her relationships. I heartily recommend this fascinating volume to anyone interested in self exploration.

VERY Disappointed!
|
I owned an Estate Wine Bottle Opener for about 20 years, during which time it successfully and easily opened many bottles of wine and was a beautiful conversation piece in my kitchen. A few weeks ago, after all that time, the auger snapped off. As I had been so satisfied with the previous model, I did not hesitate to purchase another. Now I am EXTREMELY disappointed!!! The previous reviewer is correct in that it more often than not forces the cork down into the bottle of wine!! It appears as if they have changed the design, especially of the auger. It seems too wide and flat on the end to smoothly pierce into the cork before the action of the mechanism pushes it down. Very sad that a quality product is not being produced anymore.

Doesn't work at all!
|
This expensive and attractive opener isn't worth anything as it DOES NOT WORK to open wine bottles at all. The auger is wide and thick and cannot pierce the cork. Instead, the auger 90% of the time PUSHES the cork down into the bottle. It also takes a huge amount of effort to get the auger to work its way into the cork (or pushing down the cork). DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS OPENER! The company says it sells "hundreds" of these every year, but I wonder if anyone ever uses it! They will not refund your money as they don't sell it directly...so you have to request a refund through the vendor you purchased it from. DON'T BUY AT ANY PRICE!!

Good luck matching wood
|
We ordered this wine opener along with the "matching" tripod to mount on. When it arrived, we were displeased to discover that the wood in the handle of the wine opener did not match the color or grade of wood in the tripod we had ordered. These were sold as accessories for either product to work together. Contacted Amazon and was told "not our problem, contact the company that sold you the product". Was then told (depending on who I spoke with) that the mismatch wasn't "that bad" or "there's nothing we can do about it". We have not used this product as we are still trying to resolve this issue. Still waiting for a response to my emails............. sigh

Unable to finish it- someone slap her with the glass shoe!

This book was annoying and tedious. The Oprah joke was funny the first time, after that just annoying. Here we have a spineless, selfish little twit who can't see a decent person when he practically runs her over. Most of us would have swept him up and the dog and been perfectly happy. NOOO she has to turn into an even more annoying character by getting a makeover into tart of the year while chasing the super rich. You're not rich, you're an average, everyday girl take the average everyday man (he might be a prince in disguise). I was too upset to wait until the end. Just skip this one.

The Most Important Book of the Year
|
If you can only choose one book, WALL OF SILENCE must be it. Gibson and Singh put a human face on the desperate and too often deadly state of medical care in America. This book truly lets the cat out of the medical bag. A wall of silence has protected a lucrative system, while killing more Americans than all wars and most diseases. The authors expose the enormous extent of the problem, yet they offer real solutions and praise those who couragously take responsibility for change. It's time to talk openly about medical mistakes. Thanks to Gisbon and Singh, the conversation has begun.

One of the BEST books on medical error and what lies beneath these tragedies
|
There are some excellent books on this topic, but this is one of the best. The cases reviewed reveals the underlying reasons why such errors occur and more importantly, uncovers the many ways in which the medical profession engages in unethical acts of subterfuge in desperate attempts to keep the dirt well hidden under the rug.Every patient will benefit from the information presented, instilling an awareness of the red flags they would have ignored without this knowledge. This book never received the exposure it well deserves.

fascinating insight into British India
|
Moxham has written a part travelogue, part history of a fascinating aspect of divided India during the mid 19th Century. His description of his almost accidental discovery of the possible existence of a hedge which would have stretched from London to Constantinople, followed by his earnest attempts to discover whether the hedge actually existed is interesting. Moxham escapes the tendency to glamorize the Raj as his book traces the evolution of his own perspective towards the hedge. He begins by seeing the hedge as a "folly, a harmless piece of english eccentricity" but ends by by seeing the hedge as a "monstosity; a terrible instrument of British oppression."Worth reading for its perspective as well as for the pleasure of the tale.

Great hedge small story
|
This book, like all travel books should have been supplied with maps that would enable the reader to follow, at least in a general way the authors journey searching for the great hedge. The one map in the book is totally insufficient. The most interesting part of the book was that dealing with the salt tax but even there it sometime seemed like filler. Like the small remains found of the hedge there is not enough here to justify any thing more than a good size magazine article.

The best of the three
|
Having now read all three in the trilogy, my personal opinion is this is the best of them. This book had a stronger romantic element, while still carrying the darker themes of the other two books. Simon Baldevar's character truly comes to life in this installment, and Meghann's pain and confusion translates to the reader. The story was sweet, sensual, and terrifying all at once.

I thought you couldn't top Crimson Kiss, but this book does come close. The end left me wanting way more and there is a #3, Crimson Shadows that pales in to comparison. Someone said this is Simon's story and it is, boy is it interesting. I do not usually read vamp romance, but this trilogy was a good quick read.

Bad, bad boy Vampire
|
I have read all three of the books in this series and found the "hero" to be fascinating. Not your usual bad boy hero. He is a possessive, destructive, controlling creature of his time who is crazy for the heroine. And when I say crazy I mean he treats her horribly at times. She is not a doormat. She fights his "love" with everything that she has. If you enjoy a stalkerific, possessive alpha "hero" than this book is for you. Oh, yeah it is also about vampires. One of the best of the genre.

By far my favorite book of the series
|
While Crimson Kiss was wonderful, Crimson Night was simply stunning. In Crimson Kiss, Trisha Baker breathed life into new and dynamic characters. In Crimson Night, she twists them, turns them, and stretches them beyond their limits. She pushes and pulls them in new and exciting directions--some surprising and some revealing. I have been impressed since I first read the series when it was published. If only I'd known what the books would be worth (I bought them for 4.99 shelf price at Borders, new), I never would have lent them out!! Ergh. This time around, I bought them at the inflated price and I can at least say that the first two are worth the price.

Terrible version of the film.
|
This is a terrible version of the film. The transfer is dull and faded, and the film itself has been cut down to 92 minutes from the 111 minute version. Don't waste your time or your money.

Avoid This Version......
|
This is just a rehash of the old Lion's Gate version that was cut beyond belief. If you really want to see this film there is an affordable "Director's Cut" available from Tartan Video in England and available from Amazon.UK. All you need is a DVD player that can play PAL (a surprising number of low-end DVD players will do the conversion). You can google your model and see if it will handle PAL broadcast format. You can order the Brit DVD here:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-Side-DVD-Christopher-Walken/dp/B000050GOU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s;=dvd&qid;=1247449628&sr;=8-2Just don't bother with any of the current US releases.

Wild Side - no, actually mild side....
|
This title is not the original theatrical release of Wild Side. The original release was 111 minutes and the runtime of the DVD is slightly more than 90 minutes.The transfer is acceptable - however the chaptering was poorly done.

no parle francais

Aha. I saw a little TV mini-feature on him when I was in Paris and was instantaneously won over. Qu4tre was the first Thomas Fersen CD I bought, and I usually don't buy CDs anyway.If someone ever makes a movie about two gypsy dreamers who traverse across Europe from one medieval-looking city to another selling and performing wonders, this guy should make the soundtrack. The music has that starry-eyed, innocent yet sexy quality to it.I love it. I don't have a clue what the guy is singing because I don't speak French, but I love it anyway. THAT is how wonderful it is.

The politics of rhetoric...an exciting read.
|
Dr. Brock's political analysis of language across the political spectrum is an interesting study of the impact of rhetoric as it defines political issues and political parties. Warranting his argument though timely topics and the way in which perception is created through labels and symbolism, the book begins to illuminate the differences inherent to our uniquely centrist dominant political parites and their more radical or reactionary fringes. Most importantly, the book presents an insightful explanation of the pendulum upon which our political parties swing, and the symbolic language signifying the change that is before us. If you are interested in politics, the study of political rhetoric and language, and an incredibly accessible analysis of these issues, Brock's last work is well worth the read.

More critical then helpful

Mostly one criticism after another of everyone elses books. He may be correct at timesbut offers only some strong opinions to back it up. Never does he provide any stats nor real life encounters of those who have utilized his methods.

A great basic guide self-defense and combatives for law enforcement.
|
The author is well-known for his expertise in law enforcement firearm training. (See Defensive Shooting for Real-Life Encounters) This great book covers the subject of combatives and self-defense for the street. In this respect it goes into greater detail on this topic. The text is broken down into four comprehensive sections. Section one covers self-defense in context, which provides the basic requirements for successful street combat. The second section deals with the important mental aspects of street combat. Edged weapons are explored in section three. The final section covers in detail firearms.In conclusion, this is a book for all street officers and especially defefensive tactics and firearm instructors.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Monadnock Defensive Tactics (MDTS) System).

False advertising.
|
Bought this Figurine for my Grandmother for Christmas. The Podium shown in the picture does not come with the figure, this isn't stated anywhere in this ad except right here. Without the podium the piece is incomplete. When contacted Jomashop wrote back podium not included. A little late to tell me that now don't you think? Avoid this seller.

Horribly overwritten, silly fiction
|
At the bottom of the second page I grew weary of O'Kane editorializing - IN FICTION, YET! The author has little grasp of showing a story and a monumental grasp of throwing in numerous, excessive, ridiculous adverbs and adjectives (just like the ones in this sentence).I do not recall reading this kind of puffed up "LITERATURE" since the last time I accidently stumbled on a 19th century young adult novel.The editor of this great waste of my time should be fired.Don't bother. There are much better novels out there.

Energy Medicine
|
The author took too much time explaining science of energy. If you have already read up on energy and the science behind it, this book is repetitive. I prefer Dr Gerber's "Vibrational Medicine".

Most reflective crystal ever!
|
This is no doubt a beautiful watch. If the style has appealed to you from the pictures you've seen of it then you won't be dissapointed by the design as well as the fit and finnish. I however can't get past the glare from the domed sapphire. It is NOT an AR coated sapphire as stated by this seller's product specs, it's also the most reflective sapphire i have ever seen! Not only that their product picture (third one down, angled view from the crown side) is clearly photoshopped without the crystal on, look at the magnified view.I just can't enjoy the watch with this crystal as all the background reflections of the surrounding environment overshadow the dial and hands. Im hoping my local watchmaker can retrofit a mineral crystal... i would be prepared for less scratch resistance for the ability to enjoy the lovey dial of this watch.It's hard to give overall star rating since it's a great watch, im just so disappointed by the glare.

bad quality
|
I bought two and one came with bad crown..Really poor quality control. sounds like 40$ junk watch. I searched "Hamilton crown problem" found that many people have the same problem with crown. Guys who owning a Hamilton watch with 2824-2 movement should watch out your crown! Hamilton should call back!

MLB 07 The Show
|
MLB '07 "The Show" comes across with a load of innovative and immersive features (RTTS, Franchise mode) but is plagued again and again by foolish little glitches and bugs that almost ruin the whole experience. If you are someone who can easily get past these bugs, MLB `07 will prove to be a great game, with the "Road to the Show" game mode being the feature that is particularly alluring. If you don't need the RTTS feature, or will find routinely inept AI and occasional game-breaking bugs too big an issue, I would advise to shop around or wait for a bargain. Overall, the game feels and plays rushed- but I'm still playing.

Greatest Baseball Experience I Ever Had!
|
How could you not like this baseball game over any others? I think that this game is awesome! It has great graphics and the gameplay is great! I like the new Road To The Show career mode. Now you don't have to sit and play the whole game, you can just fast-forward to your player's events. As a Red Sox fan, I wasn't happy when Daisuke Matsuzaka wasn't in the game. Some Asian created player poses as him in the game. Other than that though, worth getting for PS2 and the PSP.

It's a great game!
|
Though initially a little frustrating for me to learn how to properly hit and pitch (the first game was not a pretty score), eventually this has become one of my favorite games. It's pretty lifelike for PS2 graphics. Almost all aspects of the game are thought out.
