1	All You Need To Learn DB2	This is an excellent resource for all those baffled programmers who need to learn DB2 fast. Thos book provides clear-cut examples, syntax, and the results of the various SQL commands that are most likely to be needed by any programmer. All the basics from simple SELECT statements are covered all the way up to ORDER BY clauses, joins and so on. A special chapter on using SPUFI was also a big help. The emphasis here is on the COBOL language and mainframe computers, but it is an excellent learning tool for anyone. The book teaches by example and can be finished easily within a week (The example programs are what make it look so big). A must-read for anyone interested in relationall databases.	positive
1	Book almost new but it took long time to arrive.	The book that I bought is used but it looks like new. The only negative thing that I want to say is that I bought in October 4th and the book arrived in November 24th, I know that I live far away here in Brazil but that is the negative thing about the purchase. However, I recommend the bookstore because the price is very good.regards,Renato Bueno	positive
0	Dud	Avoid this chip.I lost a bunch of photos using this chip in a Canon 510 Powershot.Not only would the photos not transfer to my G4 Mac with iPhoto 5,using a Lexar media USB card reader the computer locked up when I initiated transfer.The chip was formatted in the camera as soon as it was inserted.After formatting again and taking a few test exposures, the chip once more locked up the computer.The photos appear on the camera screen, but the chip crashes the Mac every time.The chip also frequently fails to initiate iPhoto when inserted in the reader, which all my other chips do initiate properly.I use the same reader and software for four other SD and Compact Flash chips (non Kodak) from three other Canons, with no problem.The 16MB chip that came with the 510 camera works fine.The Kodak chip is not only unusable, it crashes iPhoto 5 on the Mac.	negative
1	Sue Raney's All By Myself	Sue Raney's All By Myself album was recorded in 1963, with Ralph Carmichael as arranger and conducting the orchestra. Sue Raney is not one of the better-known singers in Britain, though her TV appearance with Nelson Riddle must have helped. Sue's in great voice on the 12 tracks with a mixture of slow smoky numbers (`Trouble is a man', `Here's that rainy day', Irving Berlin's `All by myself' and `How about me?') and other up-tempo tracks (like `Some of these days', written by Shelton Brooks, and Cole Porter's `What is this thing called love?'). A good mix for an entertaining 40 min or so, though a little short on material by today's standards.	positive
1	A TALENTED AUTHOR	Kieran Doherty is a gifted writer and is able to bring to life whatever subject or person he is writing about. Even in his early days as a reporter for the Clearwater (Florida) Sun, his writing style was clear, crisp and lively. Anyone who purchases Kieran's books is in for a treat and will get their money's worth.	positive
1	This music is slammin!	Solid Harmonie are a great group and they sing very nice. Their songs are original and they sound beautiful.	positive
1	Worth waiting for.	I love this CD. I first heard the song I WANNA LOVE YOU back in 1998 on a satellite music station and since then I've been looking for the CD,because here in Ohio I had no luck finding it. But a close friend of mine said try Amazon.com and so I did and now I have the CD. I love every song, my favorite is I WANNA LOVE YOU.Even though it took me two years to get the CD.It was worth the wait. If your thinking about buying this CD do so, you won't be sorry that you did.	positive
1	Girl pop perfection	What you get when you get 4 talented girls and Sweden's best producer, Dennis Pop, and the best songwriter, Max Martin is nothing short of perfection. The most catching songs to my money are the uptempo songs I'll be there for you and I Want You To Want Me, the R&B ballad I Wanna Love You, and the ballads To Love Once Again and Forever I Do. It's very difficult to find a bad song on this CD, even the weakest ones are great. Solid HarmoniE is a genuine Girl Pop Classic.	positive
1	Solid Harmonie: Gone, but not forgotten!	Even though they have split up, this album is still worth a listen. With strong production by Max Martin, it's a shame SHE didn't do better here in states! "I Wanna Love You" is a classic! With a little more exposure, there's so much that SHE could have done.. Pick this cd up before it's gone!	positive
1	It is great	I am English and was worried i wouldnt get it over here but Im so happy i can buy it if you like female bands then get this	positive
0	Disappointing and misleading	The pamphlet (so it describes itself internally) is titled as if it were a discussion of the US propaganda establishment, but is in truth a sketchy and afactual memoir of a two-year Clinton-erainternship in USIA. The pamphlet is only 60 pages long, beingprefaced by laudatory and emotional prefaces that stretch to 30pages, probably reflecting some demand of the printing process.About 20 pages of the pamphlet is devoted to demanding that the USIA be disbanded, the remainder to rambling far-left invectivesagainst the NAFTA, "globalization", "hegemonic corporations" andother betes noires. This pamphlet may well be part of a tenure-quest rather than a knowledge quest. The reader is advised to seek knowledge elsewhere.	negative
0	Tinikling set with handles	TINIKLING SET WITH HANDLES. This is for teaching a Filipino dance to children who spent long hours researching and studying this country. They were very disappointed when they saw it. They are suppossed to be bamboo sticks.This product was a bunch of crap. Nowhere does it specify that it is PVC pipe put together. For the money, it was outrageous. This is something that could be made by products in our local hardware store by a novice. If you are going to advertise a product, please specify that you did not even try to make it look authentic (fake looking bamboo). I am disappointed and will no longer purchase or recommend this product.	negative
1	Good variety of interesting scenes.	I have been reading since I was a teenager, and have written a couple of stories of my own,. The last four years my interest in reading has journeyed to bdsm and I am a avid reader. I find this author's books vary in keeping my interest focused on the story, " surrender " is one of her works which I enjoyed. She used different and a variety of scenes including the use of toys which made the overall story more interesting. I found the interaction of the individuals very well described. Overall "Surrender " I would recommend.	positive
0	Very disappointed....Not Happy	Very disappointed the advert shows a spray in a bottle and a deodorant arrived in a spray can. Is this false advertising? Could have bought this locally. No happy.	negative
0	Not Tom's fault here... Read on...	Tom Valentine has had points inhis tough life where he has hadto struggle.

This book aboutTibetan religious / miracle manis about on par with his 1974Psychic Surgery or masonic-like'Man's Monument to Man, TheGreat Pyramid', book of 1975.There is some good stuff andinteresting stuff in here butit was strickly for the money.Tom became a born again Christianlater and all his books, healthand otherwise did him better inimage also his great Christian-Patriotic-Revisionist radio show(s).	negative
0	Unless you are writing a paper on PLL don't buy this book	I would not recommend this book for anyone who has to design a simply PLL. The book covers all the possibly ways to analyze a PLL (the author is showing off) but practical applications (e.g. a simply receiver) to connect all the theory is missing. A book with most of the theory with applications would be much better.	negative
1	Comprehensive treatment on the theory of phase locked loop	This book provides enough details for everything you'd like to know about phase-locked loop (PLL) theory. This one can be considered as an up-to-date version of Professor William C. Lindsey's classic textbook "Synchronization Systems in Communication and Control," published in 1972 and now out-of-print. This book is easy to follow if you are ready to digest some solid mathemtical treatment. In fact, this is the most fundamental way to understand the PLL theory. Besides, this book also contains a lot of information that is very valuable for system engineers.	positive
0	Broke within a month	After about a month of use (only on the weekends!) this thing started making clicking noises and sounding funny. Within another month it was making louder clicking/grinding noises, and would randomly pop out in the middle of use. Within another month it was no longer useable! It's cheap though, so I guess you could just keep replacing them.	negative
0	Lord this movie is stupid	Although the first movie was somewhat entertaining and original, this is just a vapid attempt to cash in on the franchise. Yeah, kids will like it, but kids like anything with talking dogs in it...	negative
1	cats and dogs movie	Bought this for my son because he loved the regular dvd so much. And he can't get enough of it. Watching it now as I type.	positive
1	THE DIVINE FELINE	Bette Midler is known for her bombastic over the top persona, and she brings this bravado to her vocalization of Kitty Galore in this enjoyable sequel. She's delightful!The film is obviously a throwback to the James Bond movies from its John Barry-esque score, including Shirley "Goldfinger" Bassey's signature vocals to the inclusion of techno-gadgets and former Bond Roger Moore' chief.The voice actors are suited well and most of the CGI fx are top-notch. Most importantly, it made me smile, laugh, or chuckle, and that's all one can expect from fluff like this.	positive
0	BORING!!!	Cats and Dogs was a childish boring movie. My dog died in late November last year and my mom said we will get another dog in a year, so we kept pausing during the movie and said things like "Oh he is cute!" "This breed of dogs are intelligent!" But this movie is ok because it shows kids the variety of cats and dogs.	negative
0	did not receive	I do not know where this was delivered but I did not receive it . I do not know wnere to go to findout why. If you cannot take care of this I will not order any more from this site. Sincerely, Linda G Chanek	negative
1	Laugh so hard	Cats and Dogs must work together to stop the rogue cat agent Kitty Galore from taking over the world. I have not laughed so hard! Great movie references and the CGI is amazing. Worth getting for children.	positive
1	Cats & Dog 2	Not a horrible but it was okay. I thought Maramaduke was better, but if you want to keep the kids entertained then check this one out. It's silly and goofy and one the kids will love!	positive
1	family fun	recomend to any animal lover and looking for a good deal on a download price was rite great for the family	positive
1	Dog VS Cat and in 3D	It is a fun romp of man's best friend and mine..the DOG VS that evil Kitty Galore and in 3D too.	positive
1	Creative & Hilarious!	The sequel is funnier than the first movie! This movie is enjoyable for kids & adults. Hearing the voices of Bette Midler, Neil Patrick Harris, and James Marsden was a hoot!	positive
0	Cats & Dogs	Case not in good condition have not checked the DVD yet.Little disappointed considering supposed to be new.New in a very confused text I think.My Dvd case was cut on the top. The postal package not damaged at all.So Not happy.	negative
0	Not suited for teens or adults	This movie is only suitable for viewers between 2 and 6yrs old. No one in our family liked it at all.	negative
0	Too Silly	The best part of this movie was the James Bond like intro in the beginning. It went downhill from there and got sillier and sillier.Sometimes the idea of talking animals works, in this case it just did not work for me. Note that I am reviewing this as an adult, children will probably enjoy it more. I am not opposed to the idea of animals talking in the movies. For example the pixar movie 'Finding Nemo' in which fish talked appealed to all ages and I liked that one. This one is a-ok.My 2 cents..	negative
1	Good Sequel	Sometimes the sequel just doesn't add up. Either they get corny or they run out of ammo and go romantic, adding kids out of nowhere. Well, this one did not do that. The plot is a little silly but it is a kiddie movie. Even with silly plot, it's pretty funny and stays true to the original. I enjoyed it over all and the children loved it.	positive
1	fun movie	Anything that has talking animal voices catches my little gals attention. She and I enjoyed watching this together. And a learning tool to show how important it is to work together and not be divided.	positive
1	I grew up with this book.	The Quiz Kids finish a radio broadcast and are drawn into a mystery over a simultaneous break-in at the remote transmitter site, which leads to an adventure into the wilderness past the Chicago city limits at a huge and deserted replica of a Scottish castle.All the characters are intelligent and well-drawn and carry through with humor. I got this book as a Christmas gift from my godfather (a war hero, incidentally) and read and re-read the story dozens of times, and I find it interesting enough to pick up and enjoy again even today.(There is a minor story glitch in that a characters' name changes during the proceedings, but perhaps Carl W. Smith had to step away from his typewriter momentarily to warm the baby's bottle, or something.)	positive
1	Causing A Stir: Fabulous Food to Get People Talking	I have made several goodies out of here, their desserts are fabulous, and the salads are great. I always get complements on the food, and I purchased this book for a friend. A definite for the CookBook Shelf..	positive
1	quaint	An ode to marriage the "old-fashioned way", where loyalty and commitment and `realistic' love are so much more important than romance, passion, or being swept off one's feet.Sweet and heartwarming and though very much about `the right thing to do' it just manages to escape becoming `preachy'.	positive
1	Enjoyable Lite Reading that will make you Ponder	I bought this for my wife (honestly!!), but picked it up one day myself and found it thoroughly engaging. The intertwining stories of love over different generations whilst still maintaining true to the era was refreshing and surprisingly current...It will make you ponder as you see reflections of your own situation in those of the subject content. A grandmother and granddaughter's lives so terribly different but still the same when it comes to the struggles of the heart...warmly written and easy to pass from page to page...	positive
0	Beware - Remakes	Classic country songs, but not classic performances/productions. Instead these are cheaply produced remakes. If you are at all particular about such concerns as I am keep, keep looking. As seen on TV - who cares?	negative
1	Kitty in good voice	even though these are not original recs. Nice sounding and enjoyable. highly recommend. Amigos guitar is awesome.	positive
0	Not a great remake	The young voice is missing on this one. I have some of the same songs on vinyl records. If I had listened to it first, I would not have bought it. It might be OK for someone not familiar with the original recordings.	negative
1	Great Singer as Always	I am really tired of all these people going around and giving one star ratings for every album of remakes just because it's an album of remakes!!! I suppose they would give someone a bad concert review because their live vocals were not the original recording! Judge each individual recording on it's own merits please (1) are the vocals good? (2) are the songs good? (3) is the production good? Ok, these remakes are not as an outstanding a production as the originals yet these are still very enjoyable tracks with Kitty singing remarkably strong well into her senior years.	positive
0	This is PURE JUNK!	Remakes are remakes but this one is pure junk! I'm a Kitty Wells fan; been one for over 40 years and, yes, I have many of her original recording on LP's. This one sounds like it was recorded with a 20 dollar tape recorder from an AM radio station. If you're a Kitty Wells fan, don't waste your money on this one.	negative
0	Kitty Wells 20 all time greatest hits	The date of this review is June 17th 2010 and we have not received this CD "Kitty Wells 20 All Time Greates Hits" and personally afraid we will never receive it.	negative
0	Adobe Should Pull This Book or Give it Away for Free!	This book seems to be missing about half of the functionality of these two applications. It does not flow well, and does not cover information for web developers. This is NOT one of the better reference materials produced by Adobe. You would do well not to waste your hard-earned money on this one.	negative
0	Digression is a terrible thing...	Adobe is great- we all know that. They also make some pretty rockin books for their products. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!! This is why-I used the Photoshop 5.5 & Illustrator 8.0 book in school, and its great, so I thought I would buy the new version, and even if only one or two lessons were updated or changed to reflect the new abilities of the two programs, I would be happy. Sure enough-FOUR LESSONS HAVE JUST BEEN DELETED!! Not replaced with anything!!! So, those of you that have Photoshop 6.0 CIB are used to 17 lessons- buy this book and pay ($$$) for NINE!! The last version of this book is great, but I returned this one. I WAS ROBBED!	negative
0	Some serious instruction deficiencies	I really like the concept of what Adobe is doing in this book series. Yet, in Lessons on masking in lesson 4 and layering in Lesson 5 provided instructions that just did not work. This both surprised and obviously frustrated me. The other lessons worked fine - come on Adobe rework lessons 4 and 5 - you can do better than this!!!	negative
0	Self Serving Dribble	I found this book to be boring, Pat Nee is a self serving person. It does not depict the real South Boston or the things that took place. Everything he wrote about from his experiences in the service to his dealings with Whitey Bulger were always an almost succeeded. It sounds like he was always riding some ones coat tails, even the documentary Bullets over Boston he came off as just a punk. I don't reccomend this book. If you want to learn about the true story I recommend Black Mass or The Brothers Bulger.	negative
1	A likeable book	I say the book is likeable because the narrative voice is likeable and Nee manages to pull this off which is important for a memoir. I particularly liked the description of his trip to Ireland. I also get the sense that he treats Whitey Bulger fairly in his recollections something a lot of the other members of the South Boston Gangster Literary Club do not.[...]J.R. Locke, Author of Possible Twenty	positive
1	Honest	This is a good read for the casual reader. Nee is pretty honest about his story, and does not try to glorify himself, but lists himself as what he is, a criminal. Nee gives explanations as to why he is a criminal and his end cause. This gives another view of Whitey that is not often seen from his insiders. Nee sheds some light on the Southie-IRA connection, but does not go too indepth. It is a short read, simple, easy to follow, and very readable.	positive
0	Boring	If you have read a book about a retired criminal, you have read this book. Boring and I could barely make it through the first chapter. Nice wall piece and looks good on the shelf. Suggested reading would be the book written by another man involved in this ring. This book is a waste of paper.	negative
0	THE DESCRIPTION LIES	The description says that the book contains 23 original designs... this is a complete lie because it actually only contains 12 original designs and the rest of them are repeats. I paid 12.90 for this including S&H and I definitely did not get my money's worth!! I suppose you could use the repeat pages to give to friends or if you mess up on the first ones but I cannot give a product with a dishonest description any more than a single star.	negative
1	Ministering through Spiritual Gifts	I feel more enlightened after having read this book. The teaching method of Charles Stanley has made comprehension of Bible precepts, & concepts more easily understandable, (as well as my pastor). In reading this book, I have found how I can better cultivate the Spiritual Gifts given to me and apply them to my christian life. I highly recommend reading this book. I	positive
1	Good if you have smaller glasses.	These are decent goggles, but if you have wide frames on your glasses they will be too small. For reference, my glassess are about 5 and a half inches wide and they barely fit and get pressed back into my nose uncomfortably. Disappointing, since I like the goggles otherwise..	positive
1	Mosby's Diagnostic & LAb Software	This software has made my life so much more simple since I loaded this on my computer. My weekly paperwork and case studies are much easier to prepare. This saves you valuable time.	positive
1	Book	the item was as described and the shipping was good and the price was great. hope to buy from next semester	positive
1	Measure of a Leader	Excellent book... covers all important aspects of leadership... very easy to read... practical and easy to apply to everyday life.	positive
0	Ouch! That was painful	You know "that guy" that talks just to hear himself speak? This book is the written version of "that guy."Complete fluff cover to cover!	negative
1	IT PPM Review	I found Mr. Bonham's book on IT PPM to be very informative, and one of the first books that I have read specifically pretaining to IT project portfolio managment. There were many use cases and detailed discussions, that provide practical development of the Mr. Bonham's IT PPM knowledge strategy. Each chapter contains take-aways that can often be applied directly to current IT projects. In addition, the level of research within the book (references, resources, etc), far outweights many other PPM books that I have read. Overall, I would highly recommend this book as a very useful tool for those looking to positively align their IT organizational workflows.	positive
0	ok	I wanted this for my reiki practice while giving reiki to clients I find it a bit eerie in sound and I probobly will not use it for client work.	negative
1	Very moving	I first heard this CD while learning Reiki in Sedona. I was moved beyond belief. I purchased it and use it in nearly every session. I am now a Karuna (R) Reiki Master so have been listening to this music for many years. Its impact is phenomenal. A must-have for many Reiki practitioners.	positive
1	Played for hours	I bought this for my grandson. He has spent hours enjoying it. My daughter thinks it is one of the best gifts I ever picked.	positive
0	Beware!	Beware! I recently purchased a top of the line Electrolux Icon oven and wanted to protect my investment. I purchased this oven liner based on other positive reviews. This oven liner "MELTED" on the bottom of my brand new oven!!! It left an unsightly white residue and also bent the bottom oven cover while trying to move the oven liner that was stuck to the bottom of the oven. I am extremely upset. After contacting the company, they suggested cleaning it with baking soda. After many, many applications, the ugly white residue is still there. Buyer beware on this product!Nonstick Oven Liner (Black) (23" L x 16.25" W)	negative
1	Simple recipes that are easily packed & prepared.	Having tried these recipes both at home and on the trail, I am very pleased. Well flavored, very generous serving sizes using natural foods that are easily packed and prepared on site. Recipes are usuable for regular one pot cooking, bakepacker cooking and other styles that tease your tastebuds and fill your tummy. Great for backpacking, sea kayaking, canoeing,and for guided trips.	positive
1	Nice Recipe Storage Solution	I love this book. It's classy and sturdy. There is an Equivalent Measures chart inside the front cover, 12 tabbed dividers, and 40 recipe cards arranged in 20 protector sheets.My one disappointment was with the tabbed dividers. I wish they would have been blank (or that they at least included a few blank ones) because I wouldn't have organized my recipes in the same way they do. Tabs include: Appetizers, Soups-Salads, Sauces-Dressings, Breads-Grains, Dairy-Eggs, Fruits-Vegetables, Pasta, Poultry, Seafood, Meats, Desserts, and Beverages.All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and will be ordering another.	positive
1	Mother's day present	My mom loved this as a Mother's Day present. She's already filled it up though...so I guess more "recipe holder sheets" would be good (but my mom does have a ton of recipes so I'm not saying there wouldn't be enough for the average customer).	positive
1	Bon Appetit Organizer	This organizer holds lots of recipe cards andmakes a lovely presentation for a gift.The separate organizer pages for each categorykeeps the recipes separate and easy to find.Lovely.. such a nice gift for yourself or aspecial friend.	positive
1	Very realistic	This story is more complex than it seems. A lot of coming of age books about gay teens have some pretty traumatic moments, but here we have a story about an average Australian boy dealing with a lot of new, confusing emotions. A short read, but a good one. I can see how some people would be disappointed with the ending, but it was appropriate given the circumstances and still finished on a hopeful, optimistic note.	positive
0	Better towards the end	Pure determination was the only reason I finished this book. I just cannot stand to not finish a book. It is not that this book is poorly written, it just isn't my tast I guess.The story is about an Austrailian boy named Peter who enjoys riding dirt bikes. When Peter meets his brother's gay friend David, Peter starts wondering if he is gay. Unlike most books in this genre, it is not a coming out or coming of age story. This fact is the most refreshing aspect of the book.Despite my mediocre rating, this book is still ok. I'm just not Austrailian or a dirt biker. You will probably find this book more interesting than me if you like dirt bikes or cars.	negative
0	Peter Review	Peter was a fair book. I enjoyed reading Peter, however the ending was not satisfying. As I have learned over the years from reading many books, you cannot decide how the book ends. This may seem strange, however, I was disappointed by the ending. Peter was not particularly my taste: a funny, suspenseful book with a firm closing ending. Rather, it is a real-life book teaching a lesson. Whether or not you pick this book is up to you, but if you are looking for a good book to read and found this book by picking at random, or it looked interesting, I recommend that you continue your search. I rate Peter with 2 to 3 stars.	negative
1	Oh My God	This band is one of the freshest sounds that I have heard in such a long time. The lyrics are awesome, the music is out of this world, and Billy rocks. These guys have set the trend for all bands coming out of Chicago, and I think that everyone should listen up to them now, before they are huge. The CD can not compare to their concerts, however, as they have rocked the Flint scene on several occasions...	positive
1	Good Preparation	This book gives nice, brief explanations of all the required topics on the Physics AP while going more in-depth in the example problems. The only downfall, and this may be true with other prep books too, is that the practice problems aren't similar enough to the real AP problems to give you good practice. The practice test is rather discouraging, but most prep books are harder than the real AP. In short, learn from this book, but don't practice too much from it.	positive
1	A nice break from Suzuki	I am an adult and started playing from this book last year when I had about 9 months of Suzuki lessons behind me. Having this book of carols was a great thing!! Because I already knew the carols, it was easier to play them than some of the unknown Suzuki pieces. Starting in October, my teacher and I began practicing some of the carols in this book. By Christmas, I was playing 6 or 7 songs. We both really enjoyed it as we played harmony on many of the carols. There is enough of a challenge to the music to keep me working for several Christmas seasons to come!! I played my first double stops from this book!!	positive
1	Fun	For a book dealing with evil twins, this one's pretty darn good. It's a sequel to a weak-but-fun first season episode. Read it for excitement and fun.	positive
0	Only a few examples; no mass appeal	I don't understand why the other three reviewers liked this slim volume. It just has a few code examples covering a handful of niche topics that I feel few people know or care about. Financial research is a really rich and diverse field, ranging from accounting to options pricing to technical analysis. This book covers a minimal amount of topics. I don't think this is helpful at all. If someone could write a "SAS cookbook" a la "Perl Cookbok" that would be great.	negative
0	bad	my friend was using this amp on his two 10" square kickers and it worked fine but by the time i hooked it up on my rockford fosgate which are two 12" p3 the amp worked for about 5min then went bad it couldnt handle the rms and the watts so the amp went bad and made my system sound bad so this is good amp for smalls low power subs.	negative
0	The worstest book ever	My mommy read this as a bedtime story. I was so afraid. It kept me up. I couldn't sleep. Ratzlaff is a bad bad author. I could have written this.	negative
0	BAMAC	Not worth the price - about the size of a notebook. it's heavy duty but not worth what i paid!	negative
1	A Fath (Opening) into the Shaikh's Legal Universe	Eric Winkel has presented for the very first time in Western scholarship an extensive picture of Ibn Arabi's jurisprudence. The work deals with a particular legal issue, namely tahara (ritual purity), and shows how the Shaikh al-Akbar extrapolates legal rulings.MYSTERIES is an excellent contribution to a growing corpus of literature that deals with Ibn Arabi's fiqh -- a field that had been glossed over in initial Orientalist studies of the Andalusian mystic because of the old-school misconception that Law occupied a marginal role in the Shaikh's worldview simply because he was a Sufi. Winkel's study, along with Michel Chodkiewicz's groundbreaking OCEAN WITHOUT SHORE will help dispell that myth.	positive
0	UNHAPPY	As of today I still haven't received my CD that I ordered over a month ago. I ordered other CD'S directly from AMAZON.COM and I received ALL of them. I ordered two CD's from personal sellers and I never received either one. I am still waiting on a response from this seller inregards to my refund. I am very unhappy because I really really wanted this CD:(	negative
0	how terrible can you get	ok i cant believe i wasted money on this cd...twista's flow and kanye's production are the only bright spots on the whole cd...twista's one verse lights up everybody else like a ...christmas tree..i thought that the ROC was steadily takin over the game but after hearing this im having second thoughts half these cats lyrics arent worthy of getting their name on a post-it let alone a contract and M.O.P. made a big mistake signin with the ROC,their style is on the other side of the spectrum compared to what Rocafella is known for.Im glad Twista's contract is just a appearance deal and not a full album contract,I'd hate to see someone with so much overlooked talent be ruined before he gets his chance	negative
1	Pretty cool toy	So, it's not dishwasher safe. It definitely works, and it gets the point across. The geography isn't perfect, e.g. a lot of island nations are already gone. But, when it gets hot, you can still see a faint outline of where the land was - which is good. Only drawback is you have to fill the cup to the top to get everything to change. (Basically, it's dark green paint that loses its pigment when it warms up.) And, you can tell where the heat-sensitive paint is, and where the "non-submergable" land is. But, it's still a cool toy. Note, it's showing a 100m sea level rise, which is an extremely severe scenario.	positive
0	Funny, but poor quality	I bought this a while back, everyone laughed, I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. And then the paint slowly went away. Now I have a blue mug...	negative
0	Skip it...	I bought this and found out that the graphics on the mug are simply liquid adhered decals. These are stickers that are soaked in warm water to bond them to what they are intended to decorate. That's why it cant be washed in a dishwasher. It also means it better not be left to soak in a sink either. Eventually even hand washing it will leave you with a plain blue mug with no graphics, which is pretty near to what I currently have after several months of regular use and absurdly careful hand washing.I would not recommend this mug(or any other hand wash only mug), as it isn't good for anything more than very infrequent beverage use or keeping pencils in. Your money would be better spent on a mug that uses glazing to affix the decorative designs to it.	negative
0	no dishwasher!	i was really excited about this mug, but it was accidentally put in the dishwasher and Japan washed right off and stuck to one of my plates. now the whole decal is flaked and chipping. it's too bad, especially for one accidental cycle on the top rack.	negative
0	North and South America are gone!	I got this as a gift and enjoyed it for awhile. Then, as I was hand-washing it (I don't own a dishwasher), both North and South America sloughed off in my hand in little plastic pieces. I thought global warming is going to be bad, but not that bad. I better search Amazon for a boat.	negative
0	"Names and dates, names and dates"	I'm surprised that the author completely ignored the economic conditions of France during the reign of Catherine. No mention of the economic force played by the Huguenots. Just names and dates. Author took a three-dimensional figure and reduced her to one-dimension. Just names and dates.	negative
0	Too bad you can't give it zero stars!	BAD, BAD covers! You have to wonder how much more it would have cost to buy the rights to the original recordings instead of hiring wannabe bands! We got about fifteen seconds into four or five tracks, and actually threw the CD away! Don't buy this, even as a joke!	negative
0	Shrinks	I bought this and thought it would be a good idea to wash it before I put it onto the crib mattress. I washed according to the instructions (in fact, the pad was still a bit damp when I removed it from the dryer (tumble dry on low heat)) and the mattress pad had shrunk so much that it no longer fit onto the mattress. I do not recommend this. In search for another....	negative
1	The description and picture are misleading	I purchased this item in the store before I saw the reviews, which turned out to be fortunate. The editorial description here indicates that the mattress pad is a plastic liner with four loops to secure it to the mattress. The picture also shows this item. However, the mattress pad itself is actually a very nice, soft cotton pad with elastic sides all around, much like a fitted sheet. The item comes with a free waterproof mattress liner, which is the item pictured and described in the Editorial Review (the Product Description provided clarifies this). Others have complained that this item did not fit their crib mattresses, however both the mattress pad and waterproof liner fit my Simmons Super Maxi mattress perfectly. The only reason I did not give this item full marks is that I have not tested it long term yet - as I've only washed it 3 times so far. In my opinion, this is a very nice product.	positive
0	Too Small	I absolutely agree with the other reviewers. There is no way this pad fits on a standard mattress. I wish I would have read the reviews before I registered for it at the store. They should specify the size mattress it fits on the package.	negative
1	HeatherMN	My husband and I purchased this mattress pad and have had no complaints about it. Our baby is not due until April of this year but we have already washed our nursery bedding items several times. We have had no problem with shrinkage or the pad not fitting our mattress. We purchased a Pali crib with standard size mattress and all of our bedding has fit perfect...including this mattress pad. We have no complaints.	positive
0	Horrible misleading product!!!	I bought two of these before reading the reviews, what a big mistake!!! I tried one on my mattress and it fit, so I prroceeded to wash both of them well they don't fit and I didn't even dry them completely... I wrote to the company and have yet to hear back, but according to another post it doesn't sseem like they care to much.... Do not buy this product save yourself the agrevation and your money!!! This product is useless and I find I just purchased some very expnsive rags....	negative
0	It simply doesn't fit!!!	I wrote a similar review in another online store but that online store [URL] simply refused to post my comments and reveal this truth. The mattress pad does NOT fit in ANY of the standard crib mattress! Check it out: it measures: 24"x48" (from my own measurements and the measurements given above). Check out the most common mattresses in the market: 28"x52" (plus or minus 1")(the whole series of Kolcraft, Sealy and Simmons mattress). [Reviewer] says it shrinks. Well, don't know it yet because I didn't wash it before trying to fit it in my mattress. It doesn't fit from the very beginning! I sent an email to Kidsline complaining about this and they said they produced thousands of it and never have any complaints!!! Note that this mattress pad is NOT for smaller non-standard crib mattress, too (e.g. Porta-crib measures 18"x36" and the mattress pad is then too large). If I can choose, I would give it a ZERO star as it's a useless product.	negative

1	This Camera case Rocks!!!	This camera case rocks. I used it for my recent trip to the Dominican Republic. It allowed me to use my beloved Canon SD800 is to it's fullest potential. I took it snorkleing, swimming with dolphins, and even in the resort pool/beach. It worked like a charm. It is a bit costly, but well worth the investment if you love your camera as much as I do. Pictures came out amazing.	positive
1	great case for great pictures	I have had my Canon camera for about 2 years now & have wanted to purchase a underwater case & finally did so before our trip to Cabo. Besides the camera this is one of the best products I have purchased. Although the Canon WP-DC9 WaterProof Case for Canon SD800 IS Digital Camera is a little more expensive than a generic underwater case it is WELL WORTH THE $. It is extremely easy to uses as it works just like the camera, & it only took me a couple minutes to learn how to operate it.I did "test" the case before putting the camera into it, by placing a small frame inside the case and keeping it in the sink overnight, and as promised no leaks.We used it on a daily basis, wether it was in the pool, on the deep sea fishing trip or snorkeling in the ocean. The pictures and videos have turned out fabulous. I am thrilled with the new options I have for taking pictures!!	positive
1	Great housing!!!	For a small camera this underwaer housing is great! Small and easy to use. I would recomend this product to anyone who is scuba dives.	positive
1	Completely satisfied.	I recently went scuba diving in Honduras and used this casing for the first time. I went as deep as 120 ft with no problem what so ever. All the functions worked perfectly. I also used a bag of silica moisture absorption that came with some other random products I had purchased and that prevented and internal condensation (but I never tested it with out it so it may not have been a problem)The ONLY downside I can think of is that if you get the camera wet and then want to go take pictures out of water (say on the boat after a dive or on the beach after a snorkel) there will be beads of water on the outside of the casing that will affect the picture. Use a chamois to wipe it off and then you'll be good to go.	positive

All You Need To Learn DB2

This is an excellent resource for all those baffled programmers who need to learn DB2 fast. Thos book provides clear-cut examples, syntax, and the results of the various SQL commands that are most likely to be needed by any programmer. All the basics from simple SELECT statements are covered all the way up to ORDER BY clauses, joins and so on. A special chapter on using SPUFI was also a big help. The emphasis here is on the COBOL language and mainframe computers, but it is an excellent learning tool for anyone. The book teaches by example and can be finished easily within a week (The example programs are what make it look so big). A must-read for anyone interested in relationall databases.

Avoid this chip.I lost a bunch of photos using this chip in a Canon 510 Powershot.Not only would the photos not transfer to my G4 Mac with iPhoto 5,using a Lexar media USB card reader the computer locked up when I initiated transfer.The chip was formatted in the camera as soon as it was inserted.After formatting again and taking a few test exposures, the chip once more locked up the computer.The photos appear on the camera screen, but the chip crashes the Mac every time.The chip also frequently fails to initiate iPhoto when inserted in the reader, which all my other chips do initiate properly.I use the same reader and software for four other SD and Compact Flash chips (non Kodak) from three other Canons, with no problem.The 16MB chip that came with the 510 camera works fine.The Kodak chip is not only unusable, it crashes iPhoto 5 on the Mac.

Sue Raney's All By Myself

Sue Raney's All By Myself album was recorded in 1963, with Ralph Carmichael as arranger and conducting the orchestra. Sue Raney is not one of the better-known singers in Britain, though her TV appearance with Nelson Riddle must have helped. Sue's in great voice on the 12 tracks with a mixture of slow smoky numbers (`Trouble is a man', `Here's that rainy day', Irving Berlin's `All by myself' and `How about me?') and other up-tempo tracks (like `Some of these days', written by Shelton Brooks, and Cole Porter's `What is this thing called love?'). A good mix for an entertaining 40 min or so, though a little short on material by today's standards.

Girl pop perfection

What you get when you get 4 talented girls and Sweden's best producer, Dennis Pop, and the best songwriter, Max Martin is nothing short of perfection. The most catching songs to my money are the uptempo songs I'll be there for you and I Want You To Want Me, the R&B ballad I Wanna Love You, and the ballads To Love Once Again and Forever I Do. It's very difficult to find a bad song on this CD, even the weakest ones are great. Solid HarmoniE is a genuine Girl Pop Classic.

Disappointing and misleading

The pamphlet (so it describes itself internally) is titled as if it were a discussion of the US propaganda establishment, but is in truth a sketchy and afactual memoir of a two-year Clinton-erainternship in USIA. The pamphlet is only 60 pages long, beingprefaced by laudatory and emotional prefaces that stretch to 30pages, probably reflecting some demand of the printing process.About 20 pages of the pamphlet is devoted to demanding that the USIA be disbanded, the remainder to rambling far-left invectivesagainst the NAFTA, "globalization", "hegemonic corporations" andother betes noires. This pamphlet may well be part of a tenure-quest rather than a knowledge quest. The reader is advised to seek knowledge elsewhere.

TINIKLING SET WITH HANDLES. This is for teaching a Filipino dance to children who spent long hours researching and studying this country. They were very disappointed when they saw it. They are suppossed to be bamboo sticks.This product was a bunch of crap. Nowhere does it specify that it is PVC pipe put together. For the money, it was outrageous. This is something that could be made by products in our local hardware store by a novice.

Good variety of interesting scenes.

I have been reading since I was a teenager, and have written a couple of stories of my own,. The last four years my interest in reading has journeyed to bdsm and I am a avid reader. I find this author's books vary in keeping my interest focused on the story, " surrender " is one of her works which I enjoyed. She used different and a variety of scenes including the use of toys which made the overall story more interesting. I found the interaction of the individuals very well described. Overall "Surrender " I would recommend.

Unless you are writing a paper on PLL don't buy this book

I would not recommend this book for anyone who has to design a simply PLL. The book covers all the possibly ways to analyze a PLL (the author is showing off) but practical applications (e.g. a simply receiver) to connect all the theory is missing. A book with most of the theory with applications would be much better.

Comprehensive treatment on the theory of phase locked loop

This book provides enough details for everything you'd like to know about phase-locked loop (PLL) theory. This one can be considered as an up-to-date version of Professor William C. Lindsey's classic textbook "Synchronization Systems in Communication and Control," published in 1972 and now out-of-print. This book is easy to follow if you are ready to digest some solid mathemtical treatment. In fact, this is the most fundamental way to understand the PLL theory. Besides, this book also contains a lot of information that is very valuable for system engineers.

After about a month of use (only on the weekends!) this thing started making clicking noises and sounding funny. Within another month it was making louder clicking/grinding noises, and would randomly pop out in the middle of use. Within another month it was no longer useable! It's cheap though, so I guess you could just keep replacing them.

THE DIVINE FELINE

Bette Midler is known for her bombastic over the top persona, and she brings this bravado to her vocalization of Kitty Galore in this enjoyable sequel. She's delightful!The film is obviously a throwback to the James Bond movies from its John Barry-esque score, including Shirley "Goldfinger" Bassey's signature vocals to the inclusion of techno-gadgets and former Bond Roger Moore' chief.The voice actors are suited well and most of the CGI fx are top-notch. Most importantly, it made me smile, laugh, or chuckle, and that's all one can expect from fluff like this.

BORING!!!

Cats and Dogs was a childish boring movie. My dog died in late November last year and my mom said we will get another dog in a year, so we kept pausing during the movie and said things like "Oh he is cute!" "This breed of dogs are intelligent!" But this movie is ok because it shows kids the variety of cats and dogs.

Too Silly

The best part of this movie was the James Bond like intro in the beginning. It went downhill from there and got sillier and sillier.Sometimes the idea of talking animals works, in this case it just did not work for me. Note that I am reviewing this as an adult, children will probably enjoy it more. I am not opposed to the idea of animals talking in the movies. For example the pixar movie 'Finding Nemo' in which fish talked appealed to all ages and I liked that one. This one is a-ok.My 2 cents..

Good Sequel

Sometimes the sequel just doesn't add up. Either they get corny or they run out of ammo and go romantic, adding kids out of nowhere. Well, this one did not do that.

I grew up with this book.

The Quiz Kids finish a radio broadcast and are drawn into a mystery over a simultaneous break-in at the remote transmitter site, which leads to an adventure into the wilderness past the Chicago city limits at a huge and deserted replica of a Scottish castle.All the characters are intelligent and well-drawn and carry through with humor. I got this book as a Christmas gift from my godfather (a war hero, incidentally) and read and re-read the story dozens of times, and I find it interesting enough to pick up and enjoy again even today.(There is a minor story glitch in that a characters' name changes during the proceedings, but perhaps Carl W. Smith had to step away from his typewriter momentarily to warm the baby's bottle, or something.)

An ode to marriage the "old-fashioned way", where loyalty and commitment and `realistic' love are so much more important than romance, passion, or being swept off one's feet.Sweet and heartwarming and though very much about `the right thing to do' it just manages to escape becoming `preachy'.

I am really tired of all these people going around and giving one star ratings for every album of remakes just because it's an album of remakes!!!

Self Serving Dribble

I found this book to be boring, Pat Nee is a self serving person. It does not depict the real South Boston or the things that took place. Everything he wrote about from his experiences in the service to his dealings with Whitey Bulger were always an almost succeeded. It sounds like he was always riding some ones coat tails, even the documentary Bullets over Boston he came off as just a punk. I don't reccomend this book. If you want to learn about the true story I recommend Black Mass or The Brothers Bulger.

A likeable book

I say the book is likeable because the narrative voice is likeable and Nee manages to pull this off which is important for a memoir. I particularly liked the description of his trip to Ireland. I also get the sense that he treats Whitey Bulger fairly in his recollections something a lot of the other members of the South Boston Gangster Literary Club do not.[...]J.R. Locke, Author of Possible Twenty

Honest

This is a good read for the casual reader. Nee is pretty honest about his story, and does not try to glorify himself, but lists himself as what he is, a criminal. Nee gives explanations as to why he is a criminal and his end cause. This gives another view of Whitey that is not often seen from his insiders. Nee sheds some light on the Southie-IRA connection, but does not go too indepth. It is a short read, simple, easy to follow, and very readable.

IT PPM Review

I found Mr. Bonham's book on IT PPM to be very informative, and one of the first books that I have read specifically pretaining to IT project portfolio managment. There were many use cases and detailed discussions, that provide practical development of the Mr. Bonham's IT PPM knowledge strategy. Each chapter contains take-aways that can often be applied directly to current IT projects. In addition, the level of research within the book (references, resources, etc), far outweights many other PPM books that I have read. Overall, I would highly recommend this book as a very useful tool for those looking to positively align their IT organizational workflows.

I wish they would have been blank (or that they at least included a few blank ones) because I wouldn't have organized my recipes in the same way they do. Tabs include: Appetizers, Soups-Salads, Sauces-Dressings, Breads-Grains, Dairy-Eggs, Fruits-Vegetables, Pasta, Poultry, Seafood, Meats, Desserts, and Beverages.All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and will be ordering another.

Mother's day present

My mom loved this as a Mother's Day present. She's already filled it up though...so I guess more "recipe holder sheets" would be good (but my mom does have a ton of recipes so I'm not saying there wouldn't be enough for the average customer).

Very realistic

This story is more complex than it seems. A lot of coming of age books about gay teens have some pretty traumatic moments, but here we have a story about an average Australian boy dealing with a lot of new, confusing emotions. A short read, but a good one. I can see how some people would be disappointed with the ending, but it was appropriate given the circumstances and still finished on a hopeful, optimistic note.

Better towards the end

Pure determination was the only reason I finished this book. I just cannot stand to not finish a book. It is not that this book is poorly written, it just isn't my tast I guess.The story is about an Austrailian boy named Peter who enjoys riding dirt bikes. When Peter meets his brother's gay friend David, Peter starts wondering if he is gay. Unlike most books in this genre, it is not a coming out or coming of age story. This fact is the most refreshing aspect of the book.Despite my mediocre rating, this book is still ok. I'm just not Austrailian or a dirt biker. You will probably find this book more interesting than me if you like dirt bikes or cars.

Peter Review

Peter was a fair book. I enjoyed reading Peter, however the ending was not satisfying. As I have learned over the years from reading many books, you cannot decide how the book ends. This may seem strange, however, I was disappointed by the ending. Peter was not particularly my taste: a funny, suspenseful book with a firm closing ending. Rather, it is a real-life book teaching a lesson. Whether or not you pick this book is up to you, but if you are looking for a good book to read and found this book by picking at random, or it looked interesting, I recommend that you continue your search. I rate Peter with 2 to 3 stars.

Oh My God

This band is one of the freshest sounds that I have heard in such a long time. The lyrics are awesome, the music is out of this world, and Billy rocks. These guys have set the trend for all bands coming out of Chicago, and I think that everyone should listen up to them now, before they are huge. The CD can not compare to their concerts, however, as they have rocked the Flint scene on several occasions...

Good Preparation

This book gives nice, brief explanations of all the required topics on the Physics AP while going more in-depth in the example problems. The only downfall, and this may be true with other prep books too, is that the practice problems aren't similar enough to the real AP problems to give you good practice. The practice test is rather discouraging, but most prep books are harder than the real AP. In short, learn from this book, but don't practice too much from it.

A nice break from Suzuki

I am an adult and started playing from this book last year when I had about 9 months of Suzuki lessons behind me. Having this book of carols was a great thing!! Because I already knew the carols, it was easier to play them than some of the unknown Suzuki pieces. Starting in October, my teacher and I began practicing some of the carols in this book. By Christmas, I was playing 6 or 7 songs. We both really enjoyed it as we played harmony on many of the carols. There is enough of a challenge to the music to keep me working for several Christmas seasons to come!! I played my first double stops from this book!!

For a book dealing with evil twins, this one's pretty darn good. It's a sequel to a weak-but-fun first season episode. Read it for excitement and fun.

Only a few examples; no mass appeal

I don't understand why the other three reviewers liked this slim volume. It just has a few code examples covering a handful of niche topics that I feel few people know or care about. Financial research is a really rich and diverse field, ranging from accounting to options pricing to technical analysis. This book covers a minimal amount of topics. I don't think this is helpful at all. If someone could write a "SAS cookbook" a la "Perl Cookbok" that would be great.

A Fath (Opening) into the Shaikh's Legal Universe

Eric Winkel has presented for the very first time in Western scholarship an extensive picture of Ibn Arabi's jurisprudence. The work deals with a particular legal issue, namely tahara (ritual purity), and shows how the Shaikh al-Akbar extrapolates legal rulings.MYSTERIES is an excellent contribution to a growing corpus of literature that deals with Ibn Arabi's fiqh -- a field that had been glossed over in initial Orientalist studies of the Andalusian mystic because of the old-school misconception that Law occupied a marginal role in the Shaikh's worldview simply because he was a Sufi. Winkel's study, along with Michel Chodkiewicz's groundbreaking OCEAN WITHOUT SHORE will help dispell that myth.

I am very unhappy because I really really wanted this CD:(

how terrible can you get

ok i cant believe i wasted money on this cd...twista's flow and kanye's production are the only bright spots on the whole cd...twista's one verse lights up everybody else like a ...christmas tree..i thought that the ROC was steadily takin over the game but after hearing this im having second thoughts half these cats lyrics arent worthy of getting their name on a post-it let alone a contract and M.O.P. made a big mistake signin with the ROC,their style is on the other side of the spectrum compared to what Rocafella is known for.Im glad Twista's contract is just a appearance deal and not a full album contract,I'd hate to see someone with so much overlooked talent be ruined before he gets his chance

Pretty cool toy

So, it's not dishwasher safe. It definitely works, and it gets the point across. The geography isn't perfect, e.g. a lot of island nations are already gone. But, when it gets hot, you can still see a faint outline of where the land was - which is good. Only drawback is you have to fill the cup to the top to get everything to change. (Basically, it's dark green paint that loses its pigment when it warms up.) And, you can tell where the heat-sensitive paint is, and where the "non-submergable" land is. But, it's still a cool toy. Note, it's showing a 100m sea level rise, which is an extremely severe scenario.

Funny, but poor quality

I bought this a while back, everyone laughed, I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. And then the paint slowly went away. Now I have a blue mug...

Skip it...

I bought this and found out that the graphics on the mug are simply liquid adhered decals. These are stickers that are soaked in warm water to bond them to what they are intended to decorate. That's why it cant be washed in a dishwasher. It also means it better not be left to soak in a sink either. Eventually even hand washing it will leave you with a plain blue mug with no graphics, which is pretty near to what I currently have after several months of regular use and absurdly careful hand washing.I would not recommend this mug(or any other hand wash only mug), as it isn't good for anything more than very infrequent beverage use or keeping pencils in. Your money would be better spent on a mug that uses glazing to affix the decorative designs to it.

no dishwasher!

i was really excited about this mug, but it was accidentally put in the dishwasher and Japan washed right off and stuck to one of my plates. now the whole decal is flaked and chipping. it's too bad, especially for one accidental cycle on the top rack.

North and South America are gone!

I got this as a gift and enjoyed it for awhile. Then, as I was hand-washing it (I don't own a dishwasher), both North and South America sloughed off in my hand in little plastic pieces. I thought global warming is going to be bad, but not that bad. I better search Amazon for a boat.

"Names and dates, names and dates"

I'm surprised that the author completely ignored the economic conditions of France during the reign of Catherine. No mention of the economic force played by the Huguenots. Just names and dates. Author took a three-dimensional figure and reduced her to one-dimension. Just names and dates.

Too bad you can't give it zero stars!

BAD, BAD covers! You have to wonder how much more it would have cost to buy the rights to the original recordings instead of hiring wannabe bands! We got about fifteen seconds into four or five tracks, and actually threw the CD away! Don't buy this, even as a joke!

Shrinks

I bought this and thought it would be a good idea to wash it before I put it onto the crib mattress. I washed according to the instructions (in fact, the pad was still a bit damp when I removed it from the dryer (tumble dry on low heat)) and the mattress pad had shrunk so much that it no longer fit onto the mattress. I do not recommend this. In search for another....

The description and picture are misleading

I purchased this item in the store before I saw the reviews, which turned out to be fortunate. The editorial description here indicates that the mattress pad is a plastic liner with four loops to secure it to the mattress. The picture also shows this item. However, the mattress pad itself is actually a very nice, soft cotton pad with elastic sides all around, much like a fitted sheet. The item comes with a free waterproof mattress liner, which is the item pictured and described in the Editorial Review (the Product Description provided clarifies this). Others have complained that this item did not fit their crib mattresses, however both the mattress pad and waterproof liner fit my Simmons Super Maxi mattress perfectly. The only reason I did not give this item full marks is that I have not tested it long term yet - as I've only washed it 3 times so far. In my opinion, this is a very nice product.

Too Small

I absolutely agree with the other reviewers. There is no way this pad fits on a standard mattress. I wish I would have read the reviews before I registered for it at the store. They should specify the size mattress it fits on the package.

My husband and I purchased this mattress pad and have had no complaints about it. Our baby is not due until April of this year but we have already washed our nursery bedding items several times. We have had no problem with shrinkage or the pad not fitting our mattress. We purchased a Pali crib with standard size mattress and all of our bedding has fit perfect...including this mattress pad. We have no complaints.

Horrible misleading product!!!

I bought two of these before reading the reviews, what a big mistake!!! I tried one on my mattress and it fit, so I prroceeded to wash both of them well they don't fit and I didn't even dry them completely... I wrote to the company and have yet to hear back, but according to another post it doesn't sseem like they care to much.... Do not buy this product save yourself the agrevation and your money!!! This product is useless and I find I just purchased some very expnsive rags....

It simply doesn't fit!!!

I wrote a similar review in another online store but that online store [URL] simply refused to post my comments and reveal this truth. The mattress pad does NOT fit in ANY of the standard crib mattress! Check it out: it measures: 24"x48" (from my own measurements and the measurements given above). Check out the most common mattresses in the market: 28"x52" (plus or minus 1")(the whole series of Kolcraft, Sealy and Simmons mattress). [Reviewer] says it shrinks. Well, don't know it yet because I didn't wash it before trying to fit it in my mattress. It doesn't fit from the very beginning! I sent an email to Kidsline complaining about this and they said they produced thousands of it and never have any complaints!!! Note that this mattress pad is NOT for smaller non-standard crib mattress, too (e.g. Porta-crib measures 18"x36" and the mattress pad is then too large). If I can choose, I would give it a ZERO star as it's a useless product.

Excellent build quality

I got this doll for my girlfriend who is a big fan of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, and also likes collecting this sort of thing. I'm pretty impressed with the overall quality of this moogle. It's durable enough to at least keep it on display in a bedroom or other indoor room. The only thing I was slightly disappointed with is the size of the doll; it's just a little smaller than I was expecting.

This Camera case Rocks!!!

This camera case rocks. I used it for my recent trip to the Dominican Republic. It allowed me to use my beloved Canon SD800 is to it's fullest potential. I took it snorkleing, swimming with dolphins, and even in the resort pool/beach. It worked like a charm. It is a bit costly, but well worth the investment if you love your camera as much as I do. Pictures came out amazing.

great case for great pictures

I have had my Canon camera for about 2 years now & have wanted to purchase a underwater case & finally did so before our trip to Cabo. Besides the camera this is one of the best products I have purchased. Although the Canon WP-DC9 WaterProof Case for Canon SD800 IS Digital Camera is a little more expensive than a generic underwater case it is WELL WORTH THE $. It is extremely easy to uses as it works just like the camera, & it only took me a couple minutes to learn how to operate it.I did "test" the case before putting the camera into it, by placing a small frame inside the case and keeping it in the sink overnight, and as promised no leaks.We used it on a daily basis, wether it was in the pool, on the deep sea fishing trip or snorkeling in the ocean. The pictures and videos have turned out fabulous. I am thrilled with the new options I have for taking pictures!!

Completely satisfied.

I recently went scuba diving in Honduras and used this casing for the first time. I went as deep as 120 ft with no problem what so ever. All the functions worked perfectly. I also used a bag of silica moisture absorption that came with some other random products I had purchased and that prevented and internal condensation (but I never tested it with out it so it may not have been a problem)The ONLY downside I can think of is that if you get the camera wet and then want to go take pictures out of water (say on the boat after a dive or on the beach after a snorkel) there will be beads of water on the outside of the casing that will affect the picture. Use a chamois to wipe it off and then you'll be good to go.
