1	Fixes most problems from last year	If you are into sports video games, then you should know by now that you should never expect a game to be vastly better than it's counterpart from the year before. MLB 07 The Show is not. However, nearly all of the gameplay glitches have been dealt with and fixed, and some nice touches such as pitch and location suggestions from the catcher have been added. Throw in a roster update and a revamped "Road to the Show" career mode, and this is a baseball game woth buying, especially if you didn't buy the game last year or if you upgraded to the PS3. It is certainly the most realistic baseball game I've played, and I've never even tried the PS3 version!	positive
1	MLB The Show?	Good game, decent graphics. It takes a little getting used to with hitting and running the bases. Pitching is easy to get the hang of. The instruction manual is not detailed enough, and leaves out some explanations.	positive
1	This is Baseballriffic.!!	This game shows what baseball is about. Every single aspect of baseball is included in this game. EVEN PLAYER CAREERS!!! The gameplay is simple to learn (4 games min). The online play is the best, The news feeds on your favorite sports teams are amazing. This game deserves a 10 out of 5 stars. It also saves very fast, unlike other titles from previous years.	positive
1	Best Baseball on PS2 by a long shot	I'm not going to waste your time, you just have to know that this is far and away the best baseball game for the ps2. It takes a while for a game, but everything is smooth and realistic. About 20 hours of gameplay and there haven't been any annoyances like you get with the 2k series. If you like baseball at all, get it.	positive
1	WELL DONE!	This is the BEST baseball simulation out there this year. I cannot even mention it in the same sentence with 2K7, it is so much better. It is not the perfect game, but it is a great game. If you are a baseball fan it is your only option. I suppose if you own an Xbox, you are out of luck.	positive
1	MLB	very life likemy mom was watching me and she goes whos winningand what time are the rangers on. cause she thoguht the players looked so realonly problem is that sometimes it freezes at the beginning	positive
0	Dissappointing	If you have played any of the EA Sports MVP baseball titles, you're going to hate this game. The graphics are poor, and the controls are difficult. It's unfortunate that EA can no longer produce their MVP baseball series, as it was without a doubt the best for the PS2 platform. The only thing good about this game is the updated rosters. But overall, MLB 2007 just doesn't cut it. It almost takes me back to my days on the N64...days I don't want to go back to!	negative
1	Great Bat	If you want a great Table Tennis paddle (bat) for a shake hand player, you can't go wrong with this one. It has very spinny rubber, the same Bryce on both sides; it's light, comfortable, and just the best. A good paddle makes a great difference in performance, especially in table tennis. Sure, it's not just the bat, but the player as well, but for two equally good players, the one with the better bat is going to win. And when you're playing with the Butterfly Viscaria with Bryce Rubber, you're playing with the best. Great price, too.	positive
0	ALOT of paddle	It had the same spin as my 25 yr old paddle but I couldn't keep the ball on the table. I kept hitting it long due to the hardness of the wood (carbon), and couldn't make the adjustment. I sent it back for a full refund.	negative
0	More time consuming than helpful	There were a lot of lists in this book... too many actually. I'm a serious list person and really thought this book would help me to be efficient, but so many of the items on each list were irrelevant that it was more time consuming than anything else to sift through to the relevant ones. The overall, high-level to do lists were fine, but you could easily find those on any decent wedding planning website like theknot.com.	negative
0	BE CAREFUL	Watch out if you are buying this item used. I bought it based off of the look inside tab and GOT A DIFFERENT BOOK IN THE MAIL. This is VERY distressing because I bought this book for a rare song... THE ONLY MUSIC I WANTED. Can you guess what song was not in the book?!?! A Change in Me should have been the last song, but It WASN'T IN THE BOOK I RECEIVED.:(	negative
0	Good, but split	I had used this ball for one practice session, and after I was done, it had a large split across the seam. Would not buy again.	negative
1	Very Easy to Read	The textbook is very easy to read & easily understood. One of the best textbooks I've had to read in a while.	positive
0	Egg Coddler is Crapola!	I purchased this Fox Run egg coddler from a seemingly reputable kitchen appliance store and was sorely disappointed. The inside rim is near impossible to clean with a sharp edge. The worst of it is that during my first use, the cheap metal ring on top of the coddler broke off. I suppose tis my own folly for purchasing a coddler manufactured in China and not in jolly old England.	negative
1	Cute shoe	The shoe is very very pretty. I got the gunmetal, which is a nice pewter color and will go with most anything. I normally wear an 8 in sandals, however, I probably could have taken a 9 in these, so they do run a little on the short side. They are beautifully made and I've gotten compliments on them, the only reason I gave these shoes 4 stars is because the strap down the middle of the shoe does not go down the middle of my foot, it is slightly off to the side on both shoes, which I feel makes it a look a tiny bit awkward. Other than that they are very nice shoes. Haven't worn them a whole lot, so I can't attest to the comfort level of the shoe yet!	positive
1	Very cute but go a size up	These shoes are very cute and comfy. I wore them to a party and they looked elegant and classy. I danced in them for an hour and had absolutely no issues. I usually wear 7.5 but I ordered 8 after reading some reviews on other sites and they fit just right. Also, I got a better deal on amazon. all in all, worth it.	positive
1	Feminine & Sexy!	I kept the gunmetal pair in my Wish List for a couple months & finally decided to buy last week. I am soooooo glad I did - these are gorgeous t-straps & I can't stop looking at them! The gunmetal has a silverish glow, exquisitely crafted, very comfortable, and sexy and expensive-looking - can't wait to wear them!	positive
0	Very Boring....	Not at all what I had thought this would be about, based upon the reviews. This is very Christian based,which is not a bad thing, but it IS difficult for the reader as it doesn't seem to flow very well, and generally the author presents the material in a rather boring way. The Goddess/Saint has been around eons, and it took me "eons"to get through this book (yawn). While there was some enlightenment contained within the material, it tended to be foreshadowed by the slow writing style of the author.	negative
1	Absolutely Wonderful Laptop	I've had this laptop for a while now and all I can say is "Wow!" It is a spectacular piece of machinery, it can take a hit and STILL operate with no problems. Never been through a hard drive with this thing, always reliable and ready. Best laptop that money can buy!	positive
1	Great customer service	Jason at datasales.com demonstrated the best customer service available. We ordered this laptop, and had it for about a week before we realized there is no sound. So I called him, and without blinking an eye, he offered to send another laptop -- that he wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem, and that the best solution would be to send us another machine. He did this within two days, and now is paying for the shipment of the first machine back to him. A good guy. Totally recommend. the laptop is nice. chunky keys. love it. Not a lot of memory (which doesn't matter because we store things on an external drive), but fast enough for us. And for less than $150!	positive
1	Best comp ever	What a great deal! Although this older model runs slower, you can install up to 2gb of ram, its perfect if your a student and dont care too much for watching you tube or netflix! You have to install microsoft office on it, it only comes with word pad.	positive
0	no info	I can't find enough technical details to base a decision to buy the product. Have Tech's write the specs, not sales geeks.	negative
1	Excellent inexpensive computer	This computer does everything I need--surf the web, write E-mails, watch movies, create backup DVDs of data, and synchronize with my smartphone. The keyboard is great, screen is good and overall quality is very good.	positive
1	Glad	Great product in (almost) mint condition, everything is functioning well so far and i'm more than glad l bought it. It was at a very cheap price so l didnt know what to expect, but l can't even find a flaw to point out; Even the delivery came earlier that it should have. I will definitely enjoy this laptop for a long time.	positive
1	great laptop!	This is a great laptop for the price! I got it for my music and to watch movies on and it works great for both. I also like that the keyboard keys aren't stiff like other laptops i've used; it makes it much easier to type :)	positive
0	wtf	This suck I purchase mines and when I try to use it it says operating system not found it be nice to know that I am real disappointed with this purchase I think I want my money back	negative
0	it doesn't work	the computer would not turn on even with a new battery and everything else. i was not happy with it!	negative
1	Stilll kickin. Its amazing	I don't care if it isn't the most up to date. It does the job and does it well. It was sent professionally and worth every dollar. thank you!	positive
1	Best buy	OMG!! this is the best computer for the price. If you have children that need a starter computer this is it. I mean it works great t for everything but is doesnt have the newest operating system. It is also a great computer to give to your older parents that are not computer users. It is a great deal.	positive
1	Good laptop for school	This is a good laptop for school. I doesn't come with any Microsoft office items or games, but was easy to install. Short battery life though.	positive
1	Wow!	I could not believe how nice the picture was, it was better than the theatre! I had to drive to a larger city to see this at the theater and apparantly their equipment is lacking because it looks BETTER on my TV. Anyone who is afraid of the quality of this blu-ray can buy without worry, the picture is fantastic. I don't have a theater sound set up so I can't comment on that part of the disc, I was happy with the sound from my TV speaker but I know many people are more particular about their sound setups. The concert was the same content as the version they showed at the theater, it contains the four breakaways with the four band members, which was not as annoying as I thought it would be. Obviously I would have preferred an edit with the breakaways as an "extra", but with the original unedited film gone I am grateful we still had this. The only extra on the disc is the documentary. I am very happy to have this concert on blu-ray.	positive
1	memorable	one of many memorable performances and in true Queen form, a must see performance, true Freddie Mercury performance, very memorable	positive
1	Thanks	I appreciated the DVD.I was happy with the DVD and itCame fast and packaged nicely.I would order again.	positive
1	Freddy Mercury at the highest level	Nice concert, excellent set, Queen performing at their best level. The sound is really good DTS HD but it could be better. Video is re-mastered from 35mm and looks pretty decent but obviously not at the level of a blu-ray filmed in HD. A must have for any classic Rock or Queen fan.	positive
1	An underappreciated theologian.	"Evocations of Grace" is a small sampling of Joseph Sittler's writings and thoughts on ecology, theology and ecumenism from 1954-75. Martin E. Marty (University of Chicago) wrote a very personal foreward describing Sittler as a truly gifted "theologian, rhetor, teacher, exemplar". Sittler was a pioneer in terms of speaking out on the environment from a Christian perspective. His description of nature (both organic and works of art, poetry, dance) was the "theatre of God's of grace". He made a landmark speech at the 1961 World Council of Churches on ecumenism. Sittler's writing is interesting and alive because he "insisted that his loose, unsystematic manner of exposition was appropriate to the dynamic and interrelated character of experience, and to the concrete particularity of occasions of grace". "Evocations" is a fantastic introduction to a bit of Sittler's "corpus of work"--how Joe would have loved to play with THAT phrase!	positive
1	toner works great, but pricey!	this toner is hard to find and no one offers it lower than amazon. for this price, you can buy a low end multi-function printer! other than cost, vendor and toner are excellent.	positive
0	Trash	These tourniquets are inexcusably poorly made. The first tourniquet I tried to wrap around a test dummy's arm immediately snapped in half. You can make them work if you are very careful with them, but they won't create enough tension, and will snap within 3 or 4 uses. The best word to describe these tourniquets is "fragile". Buy something else, these may seem like a deal, but they are a complete rip off.	negative
1	A very necessary product to have in every home	We all have bandaids, dressings, tape and ointment; BUT what happens when you or a loved one cuts themselves badly and bleeding, and forbid an artery in the wrist..........only a tight tourniquet will apply enough pressure to save your life. Now a leg would require any belt, pulled very tight, and 911 is the only way to go, but for those prescious few seconds, these are an absolute neccessity for small areas............trust me!!!! And 10 for this price is just too wonderful! I carry two in my purse at all times for my family.	positive
1	genuine Holley	As advertised, genuine holley shooters, TWO per package, thats right, there are TWO shooters, and 4 gaskets in the package, genuine Holley parts, one for you, and a spare for...... Well, you get TWO.	positive
0	Disappointed	This was a Christmas gift. Despite all efforts, the recipient, a 13-year-old boy, and his parents were unable to get it to function beyond a few rudimentary brief movements. I was so excited to give it to him, and now I feel foolish for spending so much money on a plastic statue.	negative
0	pleo dissapointment	got for my son as a xmas gift, charged it before wrapping it a couple days before, and once it was opened the charge wasnt there....we charged it and it never stayed on that long, and if not constantly touching pleo, he falls asleep...he also never walked...he tried but foot got stuck, so he couldnt. after a couple days, he didnt even work at all....overall...waste of time and money, my son's xmas wasnt as great as i thought it would be.	negative
1	Pleo n' me.	I just love Pleo. We're getting along splendidly and learning more about each other every day! What a wonderful little beast to spend my time with. :)	positive
0	Pleo is an expensive hunk of junk	I bought a Pleo for my 4 year old and spent $375 on it. It never worked from the beginning. Who knew when it said it was just waking up that that's all it would ever do. It did gurgle and make a few sounds. The skin color rubbed off immediately. The batteries only worked for five minutes at a time and that is being generous. I bought extra batteries to try to keep it working but you could never tell if they were charged or not. I am writing this review before I throw this most expensive rubber stuffed animal in the garbage. All it ever had going for it is it was cute. Save your money pass on this one.	negative
0	Old Pleo is a $199 Dud	We bought the $199 Pleo for our 7 year old daughter for Christmas. What a huge mistake and disappointment. After her initially being charmed by his babyish charm & good looks we were all extremely disappointed by the 5 min battery life and completely defunct programming. Even downloading the new software didn't improve his interactions and he simply stuttered on the same gurgling sounds over and over until his batter shut down which was about 3-5 mins with a full charge. Stroking him, the training leaf, nothing would cause him to do anything other than the stuttery gurgle.We all had super high hopes for Pleo and he was a huge let down. Thank God Amazon honors it's return policy, it is the reason I will buy from them without hesitation. Perhaps some day if we have more money than sense we'll try the new and improved Pleo for $300 but at this point it doesn't seem worth the hype for a toy that you can only interact with in hour long intervals at best.	negative
0	pleo website broken no downloads, no forums	It's christmas eve and I can't get any of the downloads or read any of the forums.I just want to charge the thing, make sure it's updated and put it under the christmas tree, but the pleo website doesn't have working forums and you can't download the darn software unless you are registered. And trying to register doesn't work (500 internal server error).what a lousy experience.Oh yeah, additionally the batteries didn't charge unless I set something on top of them to hold them in contact with the charger.And last of all -- the battery pack appears to be composed of 6 AA batteries, but they seem to charge a lot of money for it. Why not let it run on standard AA batteries? I could have hours of batteries charged. I hate that - it's a revenue stream (as if you need to spend more) but not great for the purchaser.	negative
1	Amazing Pleo	It is a splendid and excellent toy that you even consider it's your real live pet. The activity of Pleo is exactly as the real life form! I'm so amazing that a toy can grow like this.Hope every body have one pleo~	positive
1	Wow	I have to tell you that this product has continued to surprise me from day one.I got this as a gift for my significant other and it pleases on so many fronts. You do get to watch it 'evolve' over time from when it is first turned on to when it begins to explore and pick things up with its mouth. It cuddles, it plays tug of war, and you can tickle it (it laughs!!)That's all pretty cool. If you really want to get into it, you can program it as well. ugobe has some programs they've developed for Christmas and Valentines day that are pretty cool. If you like that, you can do some programming yourself too.All in all an amazing little toy!	positive
0	Doesn't do anything exciting and battery life stinks	It is touted to do a bunch of things that it doesn't do and the battery life is horrible. It lasts about 10 to 15 minutes. The dino doesn't do much and likes to sleep most of the time. I bought this for my kids but it is too expensive for what it does and for the lack of battery life. They grew bored with it because after it takes a little nap and does nothing it shuts off and the battery needs to be recharged again. Total waste of money.	negative
1	Overall, God Fun	We bought the first version of Pleo 2 years ago. It has lasted well, providing hours of fun to the kids. It was especially good for parties, when everyone wanted to play with it and it was a good ice breaker for the kids. When only one child plays with Pleo, it becomes boring fast, due to its limited emotions.My only warning is the battery for the old model, the one still being sold here on Amazon. While the robot itself still appears OK after two years - the skin and the machinery inside all seem in good order - both of my batteries now last 5 minutes or less. It's as if the batteries can't discharge fully: the light on the charger turns from red to green in 10 minutes, and then the charge lasts 2-5 minutes.So overall - 4 stars.	positive
1	Careful, your current pet will be jealous!	This one's a lot of fun for everyone. It may be as exciting as you would expect because of all th hype, but you'll eventually feel like he/she's part of the family. The recent firmware update has caused Pleo to become much more active (that's a good thing!). If your patient with your toys and animals you can have a lot of fun with Pleo. You can feel good supporting Ugobe as they have some great ideas for a friendly robotic future.	positive
1	First of the kind	Yes, Pleo is not a live animal.But for sure is he not an ordinary toy either - so the important thing is to have right expectations first. Pleo creates an illusion of life and does it remarkably well, considering the price. Many have complained about it being too high - but take a while and think about what this little masterpiece of engineering consists of! Even a PDA - which contains a fraction of the processing power inside Pleo, costs as much or even more, not speaking about the complex hardware, custom-developed Life OS etcetc.Pleo is most enjoyable, if treated like a live-pet - then it's really relaxing and funny experience. The Life OS 1.1 was just released, improving his behaviour considerably and hopefully the upgrades don't end here.To wrap it up - if you are a bit of "science-fiction-person", then this Ugobe Lifeform is an absolute must.	positive
0	Very cool when it worked.	I bought our Pleo for xmas for my kids. My hope was that it would spark an interest in robotics and it was doing a great job until about a week after we bought it he went to sleep and never woke up. A million phone calls, several mailed parts, several purchases on my part to buy various testers or different card readers, and finally I got fed up and begged Pleo to let me mail him back where professionals could have a look at it and see what was wrong. It is June 5th as I write this, they called me last week to tell me he's fixed and they are mailing him back as soon as they get a new charger in stock (maybe all three that they sent me were bad). They honestly seem like they aren't a bad support crew, I feel like I probably fell through the cracks. I can't wait to get him back after months of not working so my kids can finally enjoy their xmas present. :) He seemed QUITE cool.	negative
1	My son loves it!	I bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas this year. I was going to buy him the other one that has been advertised called "Spike" that is a remote control dinosaur. However, all that one does is pick up a bone and roar. I am so glad I decided to get this one instead!! He loves how it interacts with him and he feels as if it is an actual live pet. Pleo eats and sleeps with my son and he never puts him down. It is very durable, but the only downside is that the battery doesn't seem to last all that long until it needs to be charged again. However, we are both glad that Pleo is part of our family.	positive
0	skin peels off, can't be repaired	I bought one of these a while ago and recently the skin started peeling off. I contacted the manufacturer and was told, "Nothing can be done to repair the peeling skin." Now it looks like a Dino-zombie.It was pretty neat while it lasted but Buyer Beware.	negative
0	battery does not stay long	It seemed like it was nothing more than a whole lot of honking an hooting - some clumsy movements - some improved movements - and some more honking an hooting. Him playing with his training leaf quite frequently (in fact, it's pretty much all he really does now) - but Pleo doesn't seem to care if he's playing with his leaf, or anything else at that matter In all honesty, it just seems very 'unaware' of it's surroundings, unless you're physically in contact with it. more. I think if you're sincerely interested in purchasing one, you should wait for a deal, because I don't think it's worth it's current selling price. Also battery only stay 30min. after that so many times freeze so we have to shut down many time. I contect UGOBE(pleo) he told me buy new battery because I got the old version that not working. even old or new it has to be work so I do not wanted spend more, I just return it back.	negative
0	No bang for the buck.	Its probably early days in the product cycle. We expected more diversity of experience. The user guide on the internet is not downloadable or printable.I am not recommending it to anyone yet.	negative
0	Miss Unadvertised.	Advertisement said the product was in like new condition. Boy was it not, skin has tears and the battery is wasted. Would never buy anything from the person I bought it from again. VERY DISAPPOINTED.	negative
0	dissapointed in Pleo	at 300Plus Dollars I expected Pleo to do something. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter who was thrilled to get it. All it does is wake up and go to sleep and turn it's head a couple times. It doesn't walk, communicate or do anything else it was claimed to be able to do. It supposedly had a "hatching period" in which it would wake and sleep and then do things-well-never happened. The biggest waste of 300 Dollars I ever did!	negative
0	Should have gotten a Wii ...	It's very pricey for what it does . Now if it could fetch a beer like the dog I saw in a commercial then maybe it might have been worth it . Was not amuse for what it does and they could have at least make it a little bigger . Takes long to charge and charge doesn't last very long . It's a very expensive toy that people have to shell out for their kids . I actually bought it for a nephew and I think I must have been high at the time I bought this through Amazon . All in all I should have gotten a Wii .	negative
1	Korean Gangster Masterpiece!	Absolutely brilliant film from Korea...if you like the gangster genre you'll love this!...ultra cool characters with an abundance of violence! One of my favourite Korean movies....try it...you'll love it!	positive
0	MY BAD!!!	This CD has nothing but night sounds on it...crickets chirping, etc....I listened to it for about 20 minutes, thinking that surely the music would start eventually, but......it never did, NO music, only crickets or some such. If crickets is what you want, go ahead, buy it; if you are after some (any) type of music...pass!!!!!	negative
1	Crucial Introspection	the tracks on here are etheral and laid back, but have a sublime groove that are infectious. best when listened to very loudly so as to pick up the subtlies.	positive
0	Track 1	Don't waste your time with tracks 2-4... track 1 is the only good one on this CD. A nice new release at a great price, though.	negative
0	A preposterous hoax	Arachne Rising is a clever attempt to demonstrate that people could believe anything about everything. "James Vogh" is a pseudonymous used by famous american science fiction writer John Sladek, a total skeptic about anything else but hard science, who invented the "Arachne" fiction to discredit astrology, with the argument that people is prone to believe anything that is written or said with the proper tone and credits. It must be said that his attempt was rather succesful, although, applying his same scientific logic, it would be a total fallacy to used his experiment properly to discredit the basis of astrology. What he demonstrated is that people may be manipulated easily, but this manipulation is also daily applied by the media, by the governments and by the multinational corporations as well as by New Age and organized religion.	negative
0	Beware: the worst imaginable DVD in history	This "serenity" DVD is constituted of rush hour traffic and sushi bars in Tokyo (!), quasi-pornographic video of women with tattoos in bikinis showing their behinds and dancing on cliffs for no apparent reason in high healed stilettos (!), video of faked aquarium scenes of fish in unnatural light swimming in uncomfortable circles (!), and worse... It was so ridiculously awful that we ended up laughing in hysterics on the floor, until it finally just went way too far showing nude massages and we finally turned it off, submitted a complaint and returned it. I wish I could give it negative five stars!	negative
1	British SIGINT perspective.	British perspective of SIGINT development, planning, and political manuvering. Starts with the basic WWI/WWII SIGINT development and early technical challenges. Then moves more into overall system planning and all of the political manuvering between the principal players. Nice coverage of early equipment and techniques, with some perspective thrown in on all of the "interesting" personalities involved. These "personality conflicts" receive as much coverage as the early equipment and techniques. This is necessary, since all of the people involved really affected how the discipline developed.Overall an interesting read that covers early SIGINT development.	positive
0	All too simple and not detailed	The problem with this book, as well as many others that descirbe biking in Europe, is that is doesn't truly focus on how you could do it. Rather, it tells you how they did it. They provide very basic information on trip planning and focus mainly on where they went. It's good for people searching for a preset tour with maps, but it's not for people who wish to make their own trip. The book breifly talks about accomadations, transport, and problems one may encounter. I would apperciate some specific information on which airline does the best job of transporting bikes and which hostels welcome bikers.	negative
0	Poor research, essentially a personal experience rehashed.	There was a famous competition in the UK once of misleading tips for foreign tourists. Try the echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum, double yellow lines by the side of the road mean double parking allowed etc. This books perpetrates another, which if you followed it would cause intense irritation. The statement that British shops (repeated more than once) are closed all weekend. Simply rubbish. You can food shop anywhere all day Saturday, and on part of Sunday, in all but the smallest villages, and even some of them. Its recommendation on maps is poor. I could go on with other inaccuracies. The book is not all bad, but a guide to cycling Europe? No way.A plea to all guide book writers - get your facts carefully checked by a well-informed native.A native	negative
1	Great for swing calibration	Ideal for the range. Expect 5 or 6 hits per label to both see the mark and be able to peel off easily. They help me calibrate my distance from the ball and my swing arc on all clubs. They come with 3 woods and 2 irons per sheet. Ideally, I would prefer the opposite, however, they are small enough that a wood label will still fit on a blade.	positive
1	As Advertised	These work just as they stated. If your looking to see where you hit the ball on the club, this impact lable will work great.	positive
1	Great training aid	Great training aid. I was just missing the sweet spot by about an inch consistently. The impact tape help me see that. After a slight adjustment hitting my irons and driver about 10-20 yards farther. Small miss on the sweet spot makes a big difference in yardage, just in case you didn't know that already ;-).	positive
1	Wonderful	This is an excellent production, well-worth the time and money. Plus the service was great.	positive
0	too easy	I bought the DVD and tried it once and felt nothing it was too easy and just not right for me. I have been practicing Kundalini yoga with Gurmukh and you just cannot compare. If you want to try Kundalini yoga buy the DVD with Gurmukh. It will change your life for better, improve your posture and breathing and your outlook in life	negative
1	Relaxing, Calming, Destressing	I suffer from constant pain from fibromyalgia and this product has helped me to better deal with my condition.	positive
1	Excellent Yoga Workout and Body Detox!	This video is fantastic! The music, the exercises, the mood, and the instructor all make this yoga experience truly amazing! It doesn't "feel" like a workout for most of the video, but by the end you will feel rejuvenated and your body will let you know that it definitely got a workout! If you can't get to a spa and get a body wrap cleanse - this is definitely a great substitute! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.	positive
0	no flowing practice, to me it makes very little sense	A yoga practicioner for many years, I had not yet tried kundalini yoga and admittedly did not know what to expect. I am sorry to say I was very dissappointed. There is no flow in this yoga, very few of the well known poses (no downward dog for example) and no logical sequence. The teacher is very very chatty, sometimes she reminds one to breathe but the movements are so quick that I didn't yet figure out how to use the uyai breath here, though maybe one doesn't?. The music is not my taste either. If you are used to having your own practice this may not be your best choice. I gave it one star not two, because I did feel a little energised afterwards. My body is as still as before I started though!! I did think that it may be nice for people who cannot use their lower limbs well as there is a lot of arm action which in itself is interesting.	negative
0	OMG!	Maya Fiennes has really done it now. This is the single worst Yoga DVD ever to come out of Britain. The music is so irritating that my Capuchin monkey Cletus actually gets upset and cries when I put it in the DVD player.I feel like I'd rather be in a horrific car accident and have some sort of cranial injury than do Yoga with Name Dropping Opportunist Maya Fiennes. Oh yeah, she claims to have taught Ralph Fiennes and Joseph Fiennes and made them into Yoga experts. Freakin' name dropper.As far as I can tell, the only thing this Yoga DVD is good for is pissing me off.	negative
1	Say Ahhhhh to Kundalini	I love this video so much that I have bought multiple copies to give to some of my stressed out friends. Stress is cruel and leaves people feeling immobilized. This Kundalini yoga tape is a relaxing way to start feeling alive and energized again. For those who have never heard of Kundalini Yoga, it is rather different from Hatha yoga or other forms of yoga but it is so worthwhile and enjoyable. Maya Fiennes comes across as kind and capable. I think there is value in this DVD for people of all ages and all levels of yoga practice.	positive
1	This is wonderful for MS!	I have Relapse Remitting MS and I do this DVD nearly every day. I recently had a 3 month relapse consisting of double vision, fatigue and numbness/weakness in my legs. I was nearly unable to walk for weeks and had to go on IV Prednisone which is very taxing on the entire mind body and spirit. Without this DVD I would have lost it! I was able to do at least the first thirty minutes throughout the entire ordeal and found it to be profoundly theraputic and transformative. The music is fantastic and Maya's words of encouragement seemed tailored just for me.This DVD is exactly what I needed and I am grateful for it. I understand that experienced Yogis may find it "too easy" but I think it is fantastic and has something to offer everyone. I have reccomended it to everyone in my MS support group because it is so theraputic and you can benefit from it even if you are physically disabled.	positive
1	Awesome	I am a beginner with yoga and thought I would give this one a try because of the title - detox and destress. I really enjoyed the routines and especially the music. I felt GREAT afterwards. My shoulders and the knot in my back seemed to release from the heat generated by the exercises and movements. I sit at a computer all day so this is a great way to loosen and relax the muscles of the neck, shoulders and back. If I can't make it to the gym for the day - I look forward to doing this routine. I wouldn't mind buying Maya's music - she is great!	positive
0	Yikes	I hate to be the odd one out of these great reviews, but I really disliked this video. I may just be less of a hard core yogi to appreciate it, but honestly- it seemed to me like a lot of hyperventilating. Her music is not in the least bit appealing to me. Also, if I hear her say "Squeeze in your sex organs and anus and stomach" one more time, I might puke.	negative
0	Not what we were expecting	My husband and I practice yoga a few nights a week to help with stress management. We were looking for something new, and this video received good reviews so we bought it. And we hated it. It was relaxing at first, but then we got to the point where we couldn't stop laughing. By the time we were supposed to chant "har," we were done. I would not recommend this if you are looking for just basic yoga moves. It is a different sort of practice that is not right for everyone.	negative
1	Well, let me tell you	I feel this book has a message. The author wrote the story as she felt and lived it, not to berate her family, but to show the struggle of children growing up in that enviornment. I feel she is a very secure and happy person. Has no regrets for her past life and hopes to help encourage others with similar backgrounds to know they to can better themselves as well.	positive

0	Author needs a proofreader	I have read books with confusing plots, but that's not the problem with this book. I had to keep re-reading sections as the author couldn't keep the names straight. When she continually refers to her lovers by her ex-husband's name...maybe the old subconscious was trying to tell her something. And the account of having a brain tumor zapped with a laser, while she was conscious, and then drove home 3 hours from the hospital...she's also a medical wonder!! She definetly has an overactive imagination. She should freelance for the National Enquirer.	negative
0	Well Let Me Tell You	As a family member of Mable Miller's, I have to say I am outraged at the lies and exagerations in this book. I read the book impartially, but found it quite difficult to read because of (1) all the grammatical errors and (2) because all the male characters at one time or another are called "John". I have to wonder if subconsciously Mable feels like a prostitute...all their sexual partners are referred to as "Johns". All this book reflects is Mable's anger and hatred toward her family.	negative
0	Well Let Me Tell You	As a family member, I am sorry to say that this book has many lies and half truths in it. Mable, could you do no better than this? I also had a hard time keeping up with some of the characters, since even Mable could not keep the names straight.Mable, you are so ashamed of your family, but why are you so proud of your sexual exploits? You even had to pay to have this book published and printed your self!Nothing in this book to be proud of!	negative
1	Looks so awesome in person!	I bought this for my girlfriend because she was wanting a Zippo with this coloration ever since she saw one in a store. Her brother collects Zippos so she's always looking at his but doesn't have any of her own, so I thought I'd change that. :)I thought the butterfly was a nice touch, but I was afraid it might be a little I guess scary/poky. Almost looks like a wasp in the picture. Lol! But it looks very good in real life. SHE'S GONNA' LOVE IT! Oh, PLUS I got free shipping because this is a new store AND a free gift which was a nice little necklace chain that is supposedly worth $10 for FREE! I wouldn't pay $10 for it but, free? MINE! Well, I'm giving THAT to her too . . .Lol! When I get more Zippo's for her new collection, I'll get them from this vendor. $16.95 TO THE DOOR? Awesome . . .	positive

0	Didn't work for me	I bought this memory to use with my EPOX 8KD3I motherboard with an AMD 64 3400 processor. I could not get it to run at 200 mhz in the bios (which is actually 400mhz) when more than one module was installed. I even updated the bios, went through the motherboard manual which stated that the other module needed to be single sided when using two memory modules. So I returned one the modules and purchased a single sided memory module by Crutial Technologies (103482) 184-pin DIMM DDR400 DDR PC3200 512mb at Amazon. It still would only register at 166mhz regardless of what order the modules were installed in. Then I bought a Kingston Value Ram double sided 512 MB KVR400/512R 184-pin DIMM DDR400 DDR PC3200 and used it with the single sided module by Crutial Technologies. Bam! It ran at 200 mhz.	negative
1	A winner and a bargain	I would have expected to pay much more for a such a high quality and informative atlas. The maps are very detailed and easy to read. There is also a large section of accompanying text relating to landforms, weather, vegetation, the economy, history and demographics etc. including many graphs and ilustrative photos, as well as a comprehensive index of places.	positive
1	Balance Of Blue	I know next to nothing about this band, it's not easy to find info on them, but I love the music.I would describe this as symphonic gothic metal, but that doesn't seem to grasp all of it. It has heavy guitars that are well synchronized with the drums, huge-sounding keyboards, and a female vocalist that likes to stretch notes and project. The male vocals are all growled and growled well with decent articulation.This is not a great album, that is it will not grab you and pull you in and then stay with you, but it is very good. It has an atmospheric feel that works well on long runs, car trips, and as background for reading.So it's not great, but it is very good and perhaps, if you are really into gothic, you'll think it's great.	positive
0	Waste of time	I thought this DVD was a waste of time. The filming is very poorly done. It looks like it is the work of an amateur. There are a lot of instances where you are watching the floor (i.e. the hardwood floor of the Hostel Gat Xino) or a drink bottle (Maxalot). The background music is annoying, not to mention the countless menus that you need to navigate through.I was very excited to watch this DVD since I will be spending some time in Barcelona soon. I have heard quite a lot about the beauty of the city. Unfortunately, this DVD only showed some back streets, supposedly 'hip' stores and very little of the landmarks. It succeeded in bringing down my enthusiasm.I will need to find another DVD that will do justice to the city.	negative
0	Lots of tidbits	I got this hoping it would have the big picture of the layout of the city and the must see information as well as the off the beaten track info. The video is lots of 3 minute snapshots of cool "unusual" things to do in Barcelona. As the other reviewer points out, the lack of "play all" is a drag. You have to navigate through the menus way too much.If you already know about Barcelona and want insights about where to go outside of the typical tourist areas then grab this video. If you want an overview of the city and its highlights look elsewhere.	negative

0	Marketing scam	I bought 2 bottles of this worthless supplement not realizing it is in the form of magnesium oxide. Manufacturers use this form of magnesium because it's extremely cheap. Unfortunately, it's not well absorbed by the body due to the size of the molecule. The only good use of magnesium oxide is in laxitives. I recommend getting a form that absorbs into your bloodstream such as magnesium glycinate, magnesium orotate, or magnesium malate. Magnesium oxide should be illegal in supplements meant to supply your daily RDA. Twinlabs makes some good products, and even makes some good magnesium supplements, but I will never buy their brand again due to their marketing scam with magnesium oxide. I have a health threatening magnesium deficiency and have been unknowing attempting to correct it using a product that is little better than a placebo. Companies that sell this product are risking people's health, and it's highly unethical not to say so on the label.	negative
1	magnesium caps	The 2 bottles of capsules came in a timely manner and were well packaged. In spite of the fact they had foam peanuts and bubble wrap one bottle had broken. I wish the manufacturer would package it in plastic not glass. Anyhow the seller replaced the broken bottle with no problem. We got it in a timely manner and overall were pleased with the service	positive

Fixes most problems from last year

If you are into sports video games, then you should know by now that you should never expect a game to be vastly better than it's counterpart from the year before. MLB 07 The Show is not. However, nearly all of the gameplay glitches have been dealt with and fixed, and some nice touches such as pitch and location suggestions from the catcher have been added. Throw in a roster update and a revamped "Road to the Show" career mode, and this is a baseball game woth buying, especially if you didn't buy the game last year or if you upgraded to the PS3. It is certainly the most realistic baseball game I've played, and I've never even tried the PS3 version!

MLB The Show?

Good game, decent graphics. It takes a little getting used to with hitting and running the bases. Pitching is easy to get the hang of. The instruction manual is not detailed enough, and leaves out some explanations.

This is Baseballriffic.!!

This game shows what baseball is about. Every single aspect of baseball is included in this game. EVEN PLAYER CAREERS!!! The gameplay is simple to learn (4 games min). The online play is the best, The news feeds on your favorite sports teams are amazing. This game deserves a 10 out of 5 stars. It also saves very fast, unlike other titles from previous years.

Best Baseball on PS2 by a long shot

I'm not going to waste your time, you just have to know that this is far and away the best baseball game for the ps2. It takes a while for a game, but everything is smooth and realistic. About 20 hours of gameplay and there haven't been any annoyances like you get with the 2k series. If you like baseball at all, get it.

WELL DONE!

This is the BEST baseball simulation out there this year. I cannot even mention it in the same sentence with 2K7, it is so much better. It is not the perfect game, but it is a great game. If you are a baseball fan it is your only option. I suppose if you own an Xbox, you are out of luck.

Dissappointing

If you have played any of the EA Sports MVP baseball titles, you're going to hate this game. The graphics are poor, and the controls are difficult. It's unfortunate that EA can no longer produce their MVP baseball series, as it was without a doubt the best for the PS2 platform. The only thing good about this game is the updated rosters. But overall, MLB 2007 just doesn't cut it. It almost takes me back to my days on the N64...days I don't want to go back to!

Great Bat

If you want a great Table Tennis paddle (bat) for a shake hand player, you can't go wrong with this one. It has very spinny rubber, the same Bryce on both sides; it's light, comfortable, and just the best. A good paddle makes a great difference in performance, especially in table tennis. Sure, it's not just the bat, but the player as well, but for two equally good players, the one with the better bat is going to win. And when you're playing with the Butterfly Viscaria with Bryce Rubber, you're playing with the best. Great price, too.

ALOT of paddle

It had the same spin as my 25 yr old paddle but I couldn't keep the ball on the table. I kept hitting it long due to the hardness of the wood (carbon), and couldn't make the adjustment. I sent it back for a full refund.

More time consuming than helpful

There were a lot of lists in this book... too many actually. I'm a serious list person and really thought this book would help me to be efficient, but so many of the items on each list were irrelevant that it was more time consuming than anything else to sift through to the relevant ones. The overall, high-level to do lists were fine, but you could easily find those on any decent wedding planning website like theknot.com.

Egg Coddler is Crapola!

I purchased this Fox Run egg coddler from a seemingly reputable kitchen appliance store and was sorely disappointed. The inside rim is near impossible to clean with a sharp edge. The worst of it is that during my first use, the cheap metal ring on top of the coddler broke off. I suppose tis my own folly for purchasing a coddler manufactured in China and not in jolly old England.

Cute shoe

The shoe is very very pretty. I got the gunmetal, which is a nice pewter color and will go with most anything. I normally wear an 8 in sandals, however, I probably could have taken a 9 in these, so they do run a little on the short side. They are beautifully made and I've gotten compliments on them, the only reason I gave these shoes 4 stars is because the strap down the middle of the shoe does not go down the middle of my foot, it is slightly off to the side on both shoes, which I feel makes it a look a tiny bit awkward. Other than that they are very nice shoes. Haven't worn them a whole lot, so I can't attest to the comfort level of the shoe yet!

Very cute but go a size up

These shoes are very cute and comfy. I wore them to a party and they looked elegant and classy. I danced in them for an hour and had absolutely no issues. I usually wear 7.5 but I ordered 8 after reading some reviews on other sites and they fit just right. Also, I got a better deal on amazon. all in all, worth it.

I kept the gunmetal pair in my Wish List for a couple months & finally decided to buy last week. I am soooooo glad I did - these are gorgeous t-straps & I can't stop looking at them! The gunmetal has a silverish glow, exquisitely crafted, very comfortable, and sexy and expensive-looking - can't wait to wear them!

Very Boring....

Not at all what I had thought this would be about, based upon the reviews. This is very Christian based,which is not a bad thing, but it IS difficult for the reader as it doesn't seem to flow very well, and generally the author presents the material in a rather boring way. The Goddess/Saint has been around eons, and it took me "eons"to get through this book (yawn). While there was some enlightenment contained within the material, it tended to be foreshadowed by the slow writing style of the author.

Great customer service

Jason at datasales.com demonstrated the best customer service available. We ordered this laptop, and had it for about a week before we realized there is no sound. So I called him, and without blinking an eye, he offered to send another laptop -- that he wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem, and that the best solution would be to send us another machine. He did this within two days, and now is paying for the shipment of the first machine back to him. A good guy. Totally recommend. the laptop is nice. chunky keys. love it. Not a lot of memory (which doesn't matter because we store things on an external drive), but fast enough for us. And for less than $150!

Wow!

I could not believe how nice the picture was, it was better than the theatre! I had to drive to a larger city to see this at the theater and apparantly their equipment is lacking because it looks BETTER on my TV. Anyone who is afraid of the quality of this blu-ray can buy without worry, the picture is fantastic. I don't have a theater sound set up so I can't comment on that part of the disc, I was happy with the sound from my TV speaker but I know many people are more particular about their sound setups. The concert was the same content as the version they showed at the theater, it contains the four breakaways with the four band members, which was not as annoying as I thought it would be. Obviously I would have preferred an edit with the breakaways as an "extra", but with the original unedited film gone I am grateful we still had this. The only extra on the disc is the documentary. I am very happy to have this concert on blu-ray.

An underappreciated theologian.

"Evocations of Grace" is a small sampling of Joseph Sittler's writings and thoughts on ecology, theology and ecumenism from 1954-75. Martin E. Marty (University of Chicago) wrote a very personal foreward describing Sittler as a truly gifted "theologian, rhetor, teacher, exemplar". Sittler was a pioneer in terms of speaking out on the environment from a Christian perspective. His description of nature (both organic and works of art, poetry, dance) was the "theatre of God's of grace". He made a landmark speech at the 1961 World Council of Churches on ecumenism. Sittler's writing is interesting and alive because he "insisted that his loose, unsystematic manner of exposition was appropriate to the dynamic and interrelated character of experience, and to the concrete particularity of occasions of grace". "Evocations" is a fantastic introduction to a bit of Sittler's "corpus of work"--how Joe would have loved to play with THAT phrase!

Trash

These tourniquets are inexcusably poorly made. The first tourniquet I tried to wrap around a test dummy's arm immediately snapped in half. You can make them work if you are very careful with them, but they won't create enough tension, and will snap within 3 or 4 uses. The best word to describe these tourniquets is "fragile". Buy something else, these may seem like a deal, but they are a complete rip off.

Now a leg would require any belt, pulled very tight, and 911 is the only way to go, but for those prescious few seconds, these are an absolute neccessity for small areas............trust me!!!!

Pleo is an expensive hunk of junk

I bought a Pleo for my 4 year old and spent $375 on it. It never worked from the beginning. Who knew when it said it was just waking up that that's all it would ever do. It did gurgle and make a few sounds. The skin color rubbed off immediately. The batteries only worked for five minutes at a time and that is being generous. I bought extra batteries to try to keep it working but you could never tell if they were charged or not. I am writing this review before I throw this most expensive rubber stuffed animal in the garbage. All it ever had going for it is it was cute. Save your money pass on this one.

Old Pleo is a $199 Dud

We bought the $199 Pleo for our 7 year old daughter for Christmas. What a huge mistake and disappointment. After her initially being charmed by his babyish charm & good looks we were all extremely disappointed by the 5 min battery life and completely defunct programming. Even downloading the new software didn't improve his interactions and he simply stuttered on the same gurgling sounds over and over until his batter shut down which was about 3-5 mins with a full charge. Stroking him, the training leaf, nothing would cause him to do anything other than the stuttery gurgle.We all had super high hopes for Pleo and he was a huge let down. Thank God Amazon honors it's return policy, it is the reason I will buy from them without hesitation. Perhaps some day if we have more money than sense we'll try the new and improved Pleo for $300 but at this point it doesn't seem worth the hype for a toy that you can only interact with in hour long intervals at best.

pleo website broken no downloads, no forums

It's christmas eve and I can't get any of the downloads or read any of the forums.I just want to charge the thing, make sure it's updated and put it under the christmas tree, but the pleo website doesn't have working forums and you can't download the darn software unless you are registered. And trying to register doesn't work (500 internal server error).what a lousy experience.Oh yeah, additionally the batteries didn't charge unless I set something on top of them to hold them in contact with the charger.And last of all -- the battery pack appears to be composed of 6 AA batteries, but they seem to charge a lot of money for it. Why not let it run on standard AA batteries? I could have hours of batteries charged. I hate that - it's a revenue stream (as if you need to spend more) but not great for the purchaser.

I have to tell you that this product has continued to surprise me from day one.I got this as a gift for my significant other and it pleases on so many fronts. You do get to watch it 'evolve' over time from when it is first turned on to when it begins to explore and pick things up with its mouth. It cuddles, it plays tug of war, and you can tickle it (it laughs!!)That's all pretty cool. If you really want to get into it, you can program it as well. ugobe has some programs they've developed for Christmas and Valentines day that are pretty cool. If you like that, you can do some programming yourself too.All in all an amazing little toy!

Doesn't do anything exciting and battery life stinks

It is touted to do a bunch of things that it doesn't do and the battery life is horrible. It lasts about 10 to 15 minutes. The dino doesn't do much and likes to sleep most of the time. I bought this for my kids but it is too expensive for what it does and for the lack of battery life. They grew bored with it because after it takes a little nap and does nothing it shuts off and the battery needs to be recharged again. Total waste of money.

It was especially good for parties, when everyone wanted to play with it and it was a good ice breaker for the kids. When only one child plays with Pleo, it becomes boring fast, due to its limited emotions.My only warning is the battery for the old model, the one still being sold here on Amazon. While the robot itself still appears OK after two years - the skin and the machinery inside all seem in good order - both of my batteries now last 5 minutes or less. It's as if the batteries can't discharge fully: the light on the charger turns from red to green in 10 minutes, and then the charge lasts 2-5 minutes.So overall - 4 stars.

Careful, your current pet will be jealous!

This one's a lot of fun for everyone. It may be as exciting as you would expect because of all th hype, but you'll eventually feel like he/she's part of the family. The recent firmware update has caused Pleo to become much more active (that's a good thing!). If your patient with your toys and animals you can have a lot of fun with Pleo. You can feel good supporting Ugobe as they have some great ideas for a friendly robotic future.

First of the kind

Yes, Pleo is not a live animal.But for sure is he not an ordinary toy either - so the important thing is to have right expectations first. Pleo creates an illusion of life and does it remarkably well, considering the price. Many have complained about it being too high - but take a while and think about what this little masterpiece of engineering consists of! Even a PDA - which contains a fraction of the processing power inside Pleo, costs as much or even more, not speaking about the complex hardware, custom-developed Life OS etcetc.Pleo is most enjoyable, if treated like a live-pet - then it's really relaxing and funny experience. The Life OS 1.1 was just released, improving his behaviour considerably and hopefully the upgrades don't end here.To wrap it up - if you are a bit of "science-fiction-person", then this Ugobe Lifeform is an absolute must.

Very cool when it worked.

I bought our Pleo for xmas for my kids. My hope was that it would spark an interest in robotics and it was doing a great job until about a week after we bought it he went to sleep and never woke up. A million phone calls, several mailed parts, several purchases on my part to buy various testers or different card readers, and finally I got fed up and begged Pleo to let me mail him back where professionals could have a look at it and see what was wrong. It is June 5th as I write this, they called me last week to tell me he's fixed and they are mailing him back as soon as they get a new charger in stock (maybe all three that they sent me were bad). They honestly seem like they aren't a bad support crew, I feel like I probably fell through the cracks. I can't wait to get him back after months of not working so my kids can finally enjoy their xmas present. :) He seemed QUITE cool.

My son loves it!

I bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas this year. I was going to buy him the other one that has been advertised called "Spike" that is a remote control dinosaur. However, all that one does is pick up a bone and roar. I am so glad I decided to get this one instead!! He loves how it interacts with him and he feels as if it is an actual live pet. Pleo eats and sleeps with my son and he never puts him down. It is very durable, but the only downside is that the battery doesn't seem to last all that long until it needs to be charged again. However, we are both glad that Pleo is part of our family.

skin peels off, can't be repaired

I bought one of these a while ago and recently the skin started peeling off. I contacted the manufacturer and was told, "Nothing can be done to repair the peeling skin." Now it looks like a Dino-zombie.It was pretty neat while it lasted but Buyer Beware.

battery does not stay long

It seemed like it was nothing more than a whole lot of honking an hooting - some clumsy movements - some improved movements - and some more honking an hooting. Him playing with his training leaf quite frequently (in fact, it's pretty much all he really does now) - but Pleo doesn't seem to care if he's playing with his leaf, or anything else at that matter In all honesty, it just seems very 'unaware' of it's surroundings, unless you're physically in contact with it. more. I think if you're sincerely interested in purchasing one, you should wait for a deal, because I don't think it's worth it's current selling price. Also battery only stay 30min. after that so many times freeze so we have to shut down many time. I contect UGOBE(pleo) he told me buy new battery because I got the old version that not working. even old or new it has to be work so I do not wanted spend more, I just return it back.

dissapointed in Pleo

at 300Plus Dollars I expected Pleo to do something. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter who was thrilled to get it. All it does is wake up and go to sleep and turn it's head a couple times. It doesn't walk, communicate or do anything else it was claimed to be able to do. It supposedly had a "hatching period" in which it would wake and sleep and then do things-well-never happened. The biggest waste of 300 Dollars I ever did!

Should have gotten a Wii ...

It's very pricey for what it does . Now if it could fetch a beer like the dog I saw in a commercial then maybe it might have been worth it . Was not amuse for what it does and they could have at least make it a little bigger . Takes long to charge and charge doesn't last very long . It's a very expensive toy that people have to shell out for their kids . I actually bought it for a nephew and I think I must have been high at the time I bought this through Amazon . All in all I should have gotten a Wii .

This CD has nothing but night sounds on it...crickets chirping, etc....I listened to it for about 20 minutes, thinking that surely the music would start eventually, but......it never did, NO music, only crickets or some such.

A preposterous hoax

Arachne Rising is a clever attempt to demonstrate that people could believe anything about everything. "James Vogh" is a pseudonymous used by famous american science fiction writer John Sladek, a total skeptic about anything else but hard science, who invented the "Arachne" fiction to discredit astrology, with the argument that people is prone to believe anything that is written or said with the proper tone and credits. It must be said that his attempt was rather succesful, although, applying his same scientific logic, it would be a total fallacy to used his experiment properly to discredit the basis of astrology. What he demonstrated is that people may be manipulated easily, but this manipulation is also daily applied by the media, by the governments and by the multinational corporations as well as by New Age and organized religion.

Beware: the worst imaginable DVD in history

This "serenity" DVD is constituted of rush hour traffic and sushi bars in Tokyo (!), quasi-pornographic video of women with tattoos in bikinis showing their behinds and dancing on cliffs for no apparent reason in high healed stilettos (!), video of faked aquarium scenes of fish in unnatural light swimming in uncomfortable circles (!), and worse... It was so ridiculously awful that we ended up laughing in hysterics on the floor, until it finally just went way too far showing nude massages and we finally turned it off, submitted a complaint and returned it. I wish I could give it negative five stars!

British SIGINT perspective.

British perspective of SIGINT development, planning, and political manuvering. Starts with the basic WWI/WWII SIGINT development and early technical challenges. Then moves more into overall system planning and all of the political manuvering between the principal players. Nice coverage of early equipment and techniques, with some perspective thrown in on all of the "interesting" personalities involved. These "personality conflicts" receive as much coverage as the early equipment and techniques. This is necessary, since all of the people involved really affected how the discipline developed.Overall an interesting read that covers early SIGINT development.

All too simple and not detailed

The problem with this book, as well as many others that descirbe biking in Europe, is that is doesn't truly focus on how you could do it. Rather, it tells you how they did it. They provide very basic information on trip planning and focus mainly on where they went. It's good for people searching for a preset tour with maps, but it's not for people who wish to make their own trip. The book breifly talks about accomadations, transport, and problems one may encounter. I would apperciate some specific information on which airline does the best job of transporting bikes and which hostels welcome bikers.

Poor research, essentially a personal experience rehashed.

There was a famous competition in the UK once of misleading tips for foreign tourists. Try the echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum, double yellow lines by the side of the road mean double parking allowed etc. This books perpetrates another, which if you followed it would cause intense irritation. The statement that British shops (repeated more than once) are closed all weekend. Simply rubbish. You can food shop anywhere all day Saturday, and on part of Sunday, in all but the smallest villages, and even some of them. Its recommendation on maps is poor. I could go on with other inaccuracies. The book is not all bad, but a guide to cycling Europe? No way.A plea to all guide book writers - get your facts carefully checked by a well-informed native.A native

Great for swing calibration

Ideal for the range. Expect 5 or 6 hits per label to both see the mark and be able to peel off easily. They help me calibrate my distance from the ball and my swing arc on all clubs. They come with 3 woods and 2 irons per sheet. Ideally, I would prefer the opposite, however, they are small enough that a wood label will still fit on a blade.

Great training aid. I was just missing the sweet spot by about an inch consistently. The impact tape help me see that. After a slight adjustment hitting my irons and driver about 10-20 yards farther. Small miss on the sweet spot makes a big difference in yardage, just in case you didn't know that already ;-).

Excellent Yoga Workout and Body Detox!

This video is fantastic! The music, the exercises, the mood, and the instructor all make this yoga experience truly amazing! It doesn't "feel" like a workout for most of the video, but by the end you will feel rejuvenated and your body will let you know that it definitely got a workout! If you can't get to a spa and get a body wrap cleanse - this is definitely a great substitute! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

no flowing practice, to me it makes very little sense

A yoga practicioner for many years, I had not yet tried kundalini yoga and admittedly did not know what to expect. I am sorry to say I was very dissappointed. There is no flow in this yoga, very few of the well known poses (no downward dog for example) and no logical sequence. The teacher is very very chatty, sometimes she reminds one to breathe but the movements are so quick that I didn't yet figure out how to use the uyai breath here, though maybe one doesn't?. The music is not my taste either. If you are used to having your own practice this may not be your best choice. I gave it one star not two, because I did feel a little energised afterwards. My body is as still as before I started though!! I did think that it may be nice for people who cannot use their lower limbs well as there is a lot of arm action which in itself is interesting.

OMG!

Maya Fiennes has really done it now. This is the single worst Yoga DVD ever to come out of Britain. The music is so irritating that my Capuchin monkey Cletus actually gets upset and cries when I put it in the DVD player.I feel like I'd rather be in a horrific car accident and have some sort of cranial injury than do Yoga with Name Dropping Opportunist Maya Fiennes. Oh yeah, she claims to have taught Ralph Fiennes and Joseph Fiennes and made them into Yoga experts. Freakin' name dropper.As far as I can tell, the only thing this Yoga DVD is good for is pissing me off.

Say Ahhhhh to Kundalini

I love this video so much that I have bought multiple copies to give to some of my stressed out friends. Stress is cruel and leaves people feeling immobilized. This Kundalini yoga tape is a relaxing way to start feeling alive and energized again. For those who have never heard of Kundalini Yoga, it is rather different from Hatha yoga or other forms of yoga but it is so worthwhile and enjoyable. Maya Fiennes comes across as kind and capable. I think there is value in this DVD for people of all ages and all levels of yoga practice.

This is wonderful for MS!

I have Relapse Remitting MS and I do this DVD nearly every day. I recently had a 3 month relapse consisting of double vision, fatigue and numbness/weakness in my legs. I was nearly unable to walk for weeks and had to go on IV Prednisone which is very taxing on the entire mind body and spirit. Without this DVD I would have lost it! I was able to do at least the first thirty minutes throughout the entire ordeal and found it to be profoundly theraputic and transformative. The music is fantastic and Maya's words of encouragement seemed tailored just for me.This DVD is exactly what I needed and I am grateful for it. I understand that experienced Yogis may find it "too easy" but I think it is fantastic and has something to offer everyone. I have reccomended it to everyone in my MS support group because it is so theraputic and you can benefit from it even if you are physically disabled.

Awesome

I am a beginner with yoga and thought I would give this one a try because of the title - detox and destress. I really enjoyed the routines and especially the music. I felt GREAT afterwards. My shoulders and the knot in my back seemed to release from the heat generated by the exercises and movements. I sit at a computer all day so this is a great way to loosen and relax the muscles of the neck, shoulders and back. If I can't make it to the gym for the day - I look forward to doing this routine. I wouldn't mind buying Maya's music - she is great!

Yikes

I hate to be the odd one out of these great reviews, but I really disliked this video. I may just be less of a hard core yogi to appreciate it, but honestly- it seemed to me like a lot of hyperventilating. Her music is not in the least bit appealing to me. Also, if I hear her say "Squeeze in your sex organs and anus and stomach" one more time, I might puke.

Not what we were expecting

My husband and I practice yoga a few nights a week to help with stress management. We were looking for something new, and this video received good reviews so we bought it. And we hated it. It was relaxing at first, but then we got to the point where we couldn't stop laughing. By the time we were supposed to chant "har," we were done. I would not recommend this if you are looking for just basic yoga moves. It is a different sort of practice that is not right for everyone.

Well, let me tell you

I feel this book has a message. The author wrote the story as she felt and lived it, not to berate her family, but to show the struggle of children growing up in that enviornment. I feel she is a very secure and happy person. Has no regrets for her past life and hopes to help encourage others with similar backgrounds to know they to can better themselves as well.

Author needs a proofreader

I have read books with confusing plots, but that's not the problem with this book. I had to keep re-reading sections as the author couldn't keep the names straight. When she continually refers to her lovers by her ex-husband's name...maybe the old subconscious was trying to tell her something. And the account of having a brain tumor zapped with a laser, while she was conscious, and then drove home 3 hours from the hospital...she's also a medical wonder!! She definetly has an overactive imagination. She should freelance for the National Enquirer.

Well Let Me Tell You

As a family member of Mable Miller's, I have to say I am outraged at the lies and exagerations in this book. I read the book impartially, but found it quite difficult to read because of (1) all the grammatical errors and (2) because all the male characters at one time or another are called "John". I have to wonder if subconsciously Mable feels like a prostitute...all their sexual partners are referred to as "Johns". All this book reflects is Mable's anger and hatred toward her family.

Looks so awesome in person!

I bought this for my girlfriend because she was wanting a Zippo with this coloration ever since she saw one in a store. Her brother collects Zippos so she's always looking at his but doesn't have any of her own, so I thought I'd change that. :)I thought the butterfly was a nice touch, but I was afraid it might be a little I guess scary/poky. Almost looks like a wasp in the picture. Lol! But it looks very good in real life. SHE'S GONNA' LOVE IT! Oh, PLUS I got free shipping because this is a new store AND a free gift which was a nice little necklace chain that is supposedly worth $10 for FREE! I wouldn't pay $10 for it but, free? MINE! Well, I'm giving THAT to her too . . .Lol! When I get more Zippo's for her new collection, I'll get them from this vendor. $16.95 TO THE DOOR? Awesome . . .

Didn't work for me

I bought this memory to use with my EPOX 8KD3I motherboard with an AMD 64 3400 processor. I could not get it to run at 200 mhz in the bios (which is actually 400mhz) when more than one module was installed. I even updated the bios, went through the motherboard manual which stated that the other module needed to be single sided when using two memory modules. So I returned one the modules and purchased a single sided memory module by Crutial Technologies (103482) 184-pin DIMM DDR400 DDR PC3200 512mb at Amazon. It still would only register at 166mhz regardless of what order the modules were installed in. Then I bought a Kingston Value Ram double sided 512 MB KVR400/512R 184-pin DIMM DDR400 DDR PC3200 and used it with the single sided module by Crutial Technologies. Bam! It ran at 200 mhz.

I would have expected to pay much more for a such a high quality and informative atlas. The maps are very detailed and easy to read.

Balance Of Blue

I know next to nothing about this band, it's not easy to find info on them, but I love the music.I would describe this as symphonic gothic metal, but that doesn't seem to grasp all of it. It has heavy guitars that are well synchronized with the drums, huge-sounding keyboards, and a female vocalist that likes to stretch notes and project. The male vocals are all growled and growled well with decent articulation.This is not a great album, that is it will not grab you and pull you in and then stay with you, but it is very good. It has an atmospheric feel that works well on long runs, car trips, and as background for reading.So it's not great, but it is very good and perhaps, if you are really into gothic, you'll think it's great.

Waste of time

I thought this DVD was a waste of time. The filming is very poorly done. It looks like it is the work of an amateur. There are a lot of instances where you are watching the floor (i.e. the hardwood floor of the Hostel Gat Xino) or a drink bottle (Maxalot). The background music is annoying, not to mention the countless menus that you need to navigate through.I was very excited to watch this DVD since I will be spending some time in Barcelona soon. I have heard quite a lot about the beauty of the city. Unfortunately, this DVD only showed some back streets, supposedly 'hip' stores and very little of the landmarks. It succeeded in bringing down my enthusiasm.I will need to find another DVD that will do justice to the city.

Lots of tidbits

I got this hoping it would have the big picture of the layout of the city and the must see information as well as the off the beaten track info. The video is lots of 3 minute snapshots of cool "unusual" things to do in Barcelona. As the other reviewer points out, the lack of "play all" is a drag. You have to navigate through the menus way too much.If you already know about Barcelona and want insights about where to go outside of the typical tourist areas then grab this video. If you want an overview of the city and its highlights look elsewhere.

Marketing scam

I bought 2 bottles of this worthless supplement not realizing it is in the form of magnesium oxide. Manufacturers use this form of magnesium because it's extremely cheap. Unfortunately, it's not well absorbed by the body due to the size of the molecule. The only good use of magnesium oxide is in laxitives. I recommend getting a form that absorbs into your bloodstream such as magnesium glycinate, magnesium orotate, or magnesium malate. Magnesium oxide should be illegal in supplements meant to supply your daily RDA. Twinlabs makes some good products, and even makes some good magnesium supplements, but I will never buy their brand again due to their marketing scam with magnesium oxide. I have a health threatening magnesium deficiency and have been unknowing attempting to correct it using a product that is little better than a placebo. Companies that sell this product are risking people's health, and it's highly unethical not to say so on the label.
