Disappointed Limits
|
I can't figure out where all of the glowing reviews are coming from. I love Sci-Fi, and am old enough to have loved the show as a kid. I'm glad I only ordered season one.Any good fiction makes the story being presented engaging & believable. Good Sci-fi must make the unbelievable believable. With the exception of the "Man Who was Never Born" the first 8 episodes I sat through (or really endured) were barely watchable with holes in the logic that a planet could easily pass through. The stories lost credibility and I started to fast forward through the episodes.If you're interested in buying this set, rent it or borrow it from the library first. You might discover what you though was engaging at 7-10 years old is not so compelling to an adult.

problem with playback
|
Bought this set (used)on Ebay. Discs appear to be in good condition but side two of first disk (Sixth Finger)skips the menu and begins to play. It then freezes about 30 seconds in and then stutters and skips to chapter two. I've found I can either go back from there to the opening credits (learned this from a previous post)or fast forward the teaser to the opening credits and watch from there.I wonder if the second season is more reliable?

I was sadly disappointed.
|
I loved this show when I was a kid and was very excited when it came out on DVD. I have to say though, that I found most of the episodes virtually unwatchable - which surprised me as I love watching old television shows. This series really has not aged well - unlike the Twilight Zone, which is as good now as when it originally aired. I think that the special effects that made the Outer Limits so cutting-edge for it's time have turned out to be it's major weakness. Where the Twilight Zone used relatively few special effects and relied more on irony and plot twists, the Outer Limits' special effects now look cheap and ridiculous. I enjoyed a few of the episodes, but mostly for nostalgic reasons. Unfortunately, I couldn't sit through most of them.

Original Outer Limits, Season 1 (1960's)
|
This set brings back all the "scary" moments from my childhood. The type of filming for black and white television can never be duplicated for us old-time Sci-Fi fans.Don't worry about purchasing this set, it's well worth the investment!!

Outer Limits 1st Year episodes
|
This DVD set contains all 32 episodes of the first year, 1963-64,of this series. The episodes are broadcast quality and in B&W.If you are considering dropping sixty bucks for this 4 disc set,you won't be dissatisfied. It would be nice if they included asimple printed episode guide with the DVD set. You can howeverdownload episode descriptions for sereral sites on the internet.

Outer Limits Season 1 - A Sci-Fi TV Classic
|
Outer Limits season 1 is truly the pivotal year in TV Sci-Fi. The stories are hard-core and the acting is excellent. The production quality is fair and low budget which sometimes detracts from the collection. Some episodes are in fair condition, but overall the collection is worthwhile to own. The absence of commercials makes the collection even better then watching them when they first aired.

Good Things in a Small Package
|
The bare facts:This collection comes in a multi-section keep case that takes up 1" of shelf space; that's almost exactly the same amount of space occupied by a single VHS cassette in its cardboard jacket. By way of comparison, the first 16 volumes of the Twilight Zone DVD set (which also contain 32 "TV hours" of programming material) take up more than 9-1/2"... Since I have a limited amount of both shelf space and disposable income, I am ecstatic over this apparent new direction in DVD packaging.After reading the reviews here, I made sure that all 8 sides of my set played correctly on both of my DVD players. They do. I have NO reason to doubt the trouble reports here, and I DO know well the frustration of having to return a defective DVD...

Still Scary
|
This series was the best of its kind. Shown in original black and white, the stories were great morality tales of the times, as many of the stories dealt with Cold War fears. The music is still as creepy and scary as ever. A major motion picture should have been made of this series, as was done with The Twilight Zone.

Effective show. Defective Disks
|
I bought the first season set within a day of its release. Wish I had waited. One of my favorite shows when I was a kid. Several of the eps on disks skip, freeze, fast-forward. What did they use to do the transfer? A sewing needle? Tried from day one to get working disks. No dice.

Terrible video quality, [inexpensive] packaging
|
MGM didn't lift a finger to try to provide an acceptable level of video quality in this turkey. Granted that the original film recordings are "worn" to say the least, MGM could at least have done something to minimize the embarrassingly high level of video noise. As far as the packaging is concerned, MGM might just as well have included a square of sandpaper with the instruction "scratch me!" The plastic lip around each disk rubs agains the adjacent disk when the package is opened/closed. As those of us who know the truth behind the lie of the "durablity" of CD/DVD technology, the slightest scratch renders these disks unplayable. If you like the original Outer Limits series, and have any eye for quality, and don't want to pay a lot of money for disks that will become scratched beyond repair after only a few viewings, don't order this product from anyone who wants to seperate you from your hard-earned bucks.

Poor Quality, Stories Sadly Dated
|
Like other reviewers here, I have had trouble viewing two of the episodes because of technical problems due to bad quality disks. Also, I am sorry to say that the scary, excitingly creative episodes I remember seeing when I was a small child now seem outdated, with many of the scripts and/or acting coming off as clumsy and corny. One episode stands out though: "Forms of Things Unknown," despite its pat ending, seems like an avant-garde Italian film with a lyrical, poetic kind of creepiness. Rent before you buy would be my advice.

Shame on you UA
|
I can not recommend this set at all, which is a terrible shame.I love The Outer Limits but the Disk quality and mastering make this set totally useless.I have tried this set on two different DVD Players and my computer and the sound will not stay in sync on any of them.There is nothing more irritating or angering than to spend this much money on something you really love and have it ruined by the penny pinching of the studios.If you can handle watching the mouths move and then a second or two later hear the word they spoke, then you might be able to watch this. But it is too jarring for me.Shame on you UA- this was not a bargain bin set

60 year old still loves black & white TV
|
I loved "Outer Limits" when it was first on TV in the early 60's. I've watched repeatedly any reruns whenever possible, so I decided I should just get my own DVDs. These old B/W series are inoffensive (there's no blood and gore) and nostalgic. 32 episodes of intrigue; simple, great ideas and stories. After all the special effects of today's films, the simplicity of the makeup and scenery is refreshing. If you ever liked stories from Outer Limits, One Step Beyond and Twilight Zone, you'll love these DVDs. Finally some simple story lines I can follow!

I'm glad to see this show on DVD. Bought it as soon as I knew it was available. The genre of science fiction is not my most favorite, but remembering back to the original airing of this show brought back some forgotten memories. Not all the shows are favorites but they sure are entertaining.

The adventures and foibles in beginning married life
|
Barefoot In The Park is the complete and unabridged ninety minute audiobook presentation of a classic Neil Simon romantic comedy. Wonderfully performed by Laura Linney and Eric Stoltz, Barefoot In The Park is the flawlessly recorded production that tells the story of a new lawyer and his young bride, the adventures and foibles in beginning married life, complicated by an uptight mother-in-law and an eccentric gourmet chef who lives in a loft on the roof of their apartment (their window ledge is the only access to his padlocked premises). A superb choice for any personal, school, or community audiobook collection, Barefoot In The Park is also available in a CD format...

Poor portrait of an outstanding Cuisine
|
I grew up in a Gujarati household. Unfortunately for me I never learned how to cook and so I was looking for a nice Gujarati cookbook to serve as a guide. Now I knew that nothing would be spot on, my mother being an amazing cook. I thought that I could perhaps use a book like this as a guide. Unfortunately as one other reviewer wrote, this book is very limmited in the range of recipes it offers. But far worse than that is that the recipes seem almost alien to me. So many of the classic Gujarati dishes are not present. There is a high abundance of recipes that do not even look gujarati, recipes that have been collected elsewhere. I really do not recommend this book if you are looking for a useful cookbook on creating Gujarati dishes.

This product was purchased to function as a primary closet....Bad idea. While I'm sure this is great for storing a few clothes in the attic/basement, it's not sturdy enough to handle a full wardrobe. The legs of this closet ended up buckling under the weight of all my roommates clothes an fell over in a twisted heap of metal. ...And the cover was a pain in the butt, we ended up getting rid of it.

The wardrobe came with all one-way bases when it was supposed to come with 2 two-way bases. Wardrobe cannot be assembled without 2 two-way bases. Also, it came with thin pieces of cardboard that are supposed to go at the bottom and top of the wardrobe. Cardboard deteriorates and is easily bent. I am returning this item.

Not strong enough
|
It didn't take long after we set this up in my mom's garage and filled it (about 3/4ths full) with normal-weight shirts and dresses before one the bars broke and the whole thing collapsed. Now we have (1) no place to put the clothes, and (2) a big mess to pick up!! It's a great size and idea for keeping clothes clean (zippered, etc.) but we're thinking maybe it's too big (long) for the size of bars used. Anyway, it's one more thing for the garbage and more work for us. Nix on another one!

Sitting Duck

Yall F**KD up! They're not the only ones. Amaturish effort from a fledgling underground Rap quartet. I hate to rag on the newbies but this release is better made into a frisbee. I bought this disk expecting another band by the same name. After I listened to ten minutes of this album I felt like snapping it twain like I do all those annoying "free" AOL disks that seem to come with everthing. Geno Rome, J-Sun, Lady Don, John Eclipse and the crew should have spent a whole lot more time thinking this one through. The mixing sounds like it was done on one of those old casio keyboards with the built-in scratch pad. I believe they were called rapmasters or somthing else corney. Rapmasters these guys arent. Buy this disk only if you have run out of coasters. Plan B join Icy Blu, Jesse Jaymes, Snow, and Vanilla Ice as most likely to fail. Save your money and buy a roll of Charmin.

Beautiful but geez, people
|
First, a warning: If you find wide use of tempo rubato to be a precious affectation, you're not going to like this recording. Watchorn has no reservations about the technique. I found it somewhat distracting myself, but I know that there are those who can't stand it even one little bit, especially in their Bach. They'll want to find another recording.Second, another warning: If for whatever reason you dislike highly-ornamented performances, again, this album is not for you. Watchorn has no qualms about decorating right in the center of the room (for example, the confusingly-ornamented closing note of the c-minor fugue, which mars an otherwise crystalline performance).But all that is a question of taste. This is an excellent recording of a virtuoso performance, even if it's not, to this listener's ears, the perfect gem the earlier reviews would indicate.

WTC at its best
|
This has to be about the best performance of the WTC; the harpsichord tuning of Bach gives it a brilliance and sheen and richness that is absent in other performances. The ambience of the building enhances the recording. When I close my eyes and listen, it feels like I'm in the Thomaskircke, listening to Bach himself. I can't wait for Book II.

Entertaining
|
I digged this book -- some college hijinks, a search for an ancient manuscript, and a young genius narrator. Nathan's narrative skills are terrific, and he keeps the story moving along without it feeling "rushed."One point nobody has touched upon is his satirical look at academia. Having gone to a certain northeastern upper-crust college, I recognized his characters right away. Of course one could take him to task for being smarmy...if the book wasn't so entertaining.

The Great Anticlimax
|
Gods of Aberdeen starts out with an intruiging plot (search for the Philosopher's stone) and an interesting protagonist (orphan from both the country AND the big bad city). Unfortunately, Nathan never fully fleshes out any of the threads of story that he begins. None of the questions the reader asks are ever answered satisfactorily, least of all the question, "Is there a philosopher's stone?"

I Just Don't See It
|
I'll grant that Mr. Nathan writes competently for the most part. I can understand the previous reviews seeing some promise in his writing so long as one remains on a superficial level. After all, some parts of this novel were certainly amusing enough. But ultimately, this is a sophomoric, self-important book. One gets the sense that this is an adolescent mind pretending to be something profound. I hope the author matures before he publishes again. Give him ten years of hard work and then maybe he'll have something. For now, just say no and skip this book. I wish I had.

Useless Product

I bought this jack to play songs from my iPhone in the car. It didnt sound anything like music; I was doubtful of the phone/car stereo, but I had the same result from my other mp3 player as well. Then I tried getting another jack and its been fine ever since. This is a completely uselss product, tho its priced low, the quality of the make more than reflects the fact. I assumed since sudio jacks are so simple, this should be fine. I was wrong by a large margin. I'd strongly recommend buying other good jacks (of reliable brands). I didn't even return this since paying for postage might not make it worth returning!

This book is educational, inspirational, and a good story!
|
This book was interesting, inspiring and at times horrifying! I was given a peek into the quiet almost bucolic lifestyle of a small village in Laos. Village customs, religious practices, childhood antics were all related in a simple and smooth style. Then the reader experiences the abrupt destruction of this life when the Khmer Forces forced them from their village and farms, separating children from their families, killing, putting people to hard labor. The brutality of this time is described without hype or sensationalism; instead allowing the power of those events to stand starkly in the reader's mind. But the last portion of the book brings yet another strand; the element of hope. As Physsa relates his struggles as a refugee, the reader cannot help but see the work of God in this young man's life. It is a remarkable story about a remarkable person. But mostly it is a story of hope and redemption.

This book provides rock solid basic training for CorelDraw!
|
Armed with the excellent and timeless information and techniques contained in this clever simulator, learning to use any other version of CorelDraw! is just a matter of checking out the new stuff. All the basics are contained in the easy lessons. You can learn as little or as much as you want, at your own speed, and repeat it as many times as necessary. The program keeps a log of your progress for your own information and even teaches you a bit about Windows. It is a DOS based program with an interface that mimics the CorelDraw! screen. Even though Corel is almost ready to release their 9th version, I can still recommend this well constructed teaching tool with complete confidence.

I give it 5 stars and put my word on it. Every one can check it for themselves and see what I mean. Good job except for its high price.

Lack of significant evidence from the "experts"
|
I bought this book from the so-called "experts" expecting to learn a lot of scientific evidence and support for evolution and natural selection, having a scientific education myself. Instead the text was quite vague, generalized, and full of unproven rhetoric which the authors claimed was fully scientific. Ironically, despite the authors' claim of knowledge of the scientific method, their work provided me with very little genuine scientific evidence of evolution.

Rationalism Masquerading as Science
|
This book follows the usual "evolution is absolute fact" mantra, and denigrates those who disagree. But, like it or not, there are thousands of qualified scientists the world over who question or reject molecules-to-man evolution. Dogmatic evolutionists, such as the authors of this book, would do well to finally face this (unpleasant to them) reality. To teach unsuspecting children that all scientists accept evolution, and that evolution is fact, is nothing short of intellectual dishonesty.

Stop Butchering Beatles Music
|
If you want to hear Beatles tunes performed very poorly, then this is the CD for you. However, for the rest of us, this CD should be avoided. It will make you angry and disgusted.Beatles music was never intended to be elevator MUZACK. Well, this is exactly what you have with this CD -- atrocious moog and flamingo guitars horribly arranged. After listening to this nonsense, I got the feeling that the performers intended to make a mockery of the Beatles music right from the start.If John were alive today, he would never approve of such a butchering to his music. This is 24 tracks of unpleasent noise. Personally, I think that Paul, George, Ringo, and Yoko-san should sue these dorks on this CD for making a total mockery of the Beatles legend.

This is our first Barney dvd and my 22 month old daughter loves it. I just skip the "commercials" at the beginning by hitting the "chapter" button on my remote.

Its cute and fun and well worth the money I spent.

This is another Barney DVD that has no menu. Once you put it on you must fast forward through the initial advertisements and then you can play the Barney portion. Without a menu it is basically a glorified VHS tape that the best you can do is fast forward to get to a certain spot. There is also no spanish sound track. If you want a VHS-like product that should last longer than a tape you might be interested in this. As far as the story goes I would opt for The Night Before Christmas. That story is more little kid friendly and more entertaining. The Christmas Star didn't hold the interest of my 3.5 or 1.5 y/o children. With The Night Before Christmas they request to see it all the time. The Night Before Christmas DVD also functions like a DVD.

Great movie for toddlers

My son loved this movie so much last year that it got scratched and we had to buy it again this year. It's really a great prep for all things Christmas, like decorating the tree, playing in the snow, and they read the night before Christmas, so he got an idea of the whole santa thing. He was about 1 1/4 when he first started watching it, and now at 2 1/2 he still loves it. Just today when Grandma came to visit he said, "Look, look, Grandma, a star just like Barney did!" About our Christmas tree.A must for any tot who loves Barney, it will really help the association of what's going on during this special time of year!

I bought the chair for transport from the car to the doctor's office for example. My mother can not walk or stand for long periods of time. I used to let her wait in front of the doctor's office, but as she is not steady on her feet, a chair is the best solution. Now she is never out of my sight.The chair is light and I love that the handles fold easily so I can store the chair in the trunk and by the door at the house.Great buy!

Better than the description!!
|
About a year ago, I had purchased a slim portable wheelchair for my mom who had some foot and heart surgery. We still use this chair because it is easy and convenient to use in stores and thru doorways, but the seat is too skinny to accommodate my mom's husband who is somewhat larger. So I bought them this wheelchair for when his back flares up. It is better than we thought from the description. The photo makes it look a little flimsy, but it is not at all -- it is very solid and firm! It is a little tricky to close, especially for my mom who doesn't have great strength in her arms. It is very easy to move around and easily accommodates my mom's husband and she's able to push him around with little effort. It is very easy to open and with the light weight, mom is able to lift it to put it in the car or to put it away in the closet. The delivery was very fast; we are so relieved to have such a great chair!!

Very useful
|
I bought this chair to allow me to take my mother for longer excursions than she is able to walk; I keep it folded up and pull it alongside as we walk, until she gets tired. It is indeed light and easy to fold and unfold. With a little practice, the back can be folded inward, which reduces the bulk of the folded chair. When folded, the footrests swing freely, which can be a problem, so I secure them with a short bungee cord, which I keep in the pocket on the back of the chair. I can step on metal tabs by the rear axles to tilt the chair up, so it can get over small bumps, but this would not allow me to get the chair over a curb.

Truly light and easy

We had received a regular wheelchair from home health, it was heavy, awkward and a chore to load in the car. I had to take my husband to radiation everyday. It was wearing me out. I was told by the home health company that medicare would not pay for a transport chair, but they could sell me one for $350.00. I purchased this one from Amazon, it came earlier then expected, was easy for me to handle and worked out great. It is sturdy, folds compactly and can fit in the back seat of our vehicle. I have absolutely nothing to say to the negative of this purchase.

Glad we bought this chair for mom, because she's been very stubborn about purchasing it on her own, even though she really needs it.

Price was right and it is very easy to put in and out of the car, and easy to unfold.

I purchased this chair for a friend who has trouble walking. Regular wheelchairs are too heavy for a lot of people to load into the car. This is very lightweight, even my mom can handle it easily. It is great for going to doctors appointments or even out to lunch. It works best inside and on level surfaces. It is just what we wanted. Also, I had a problem with one of the footrests not adjusting. Medline replaced them immediately and sent a return postage label so I could send the old ones back.

Transport Wheel chair
|
This transport chair is wonderful. My friend had a heavy wheel chair that was to heavy for me to get in and out of their van. I can pick up the transport wheel chair with little effort. She uses it around the house also and is very easy to push. It has been a life saver for all of us.Loretta

A Back Saver, for sure
|
Perfect for the elderly loved ones in your life. This is a wonderful substitution for those bulky, heavy, 40 lb. wheelchairs. This one folds up and easily can be lifted into your trunk or back of an SUV.

Good value for money
|
It is a good buy, considering you could buy the same product for double the price at well-known medical suppliers. It is light, durable and fits the purpose. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the leg attachment isn't easy to attach and can be tricky sometimes. I also purchased the cushion for added comfort.I got it for my mother-in-law and it's given her the freedom to shop and be mobile. That's priceless!

Portable, good quality; not robust enough for rough roads
|
Overall this didn't disappoint me. It fits nicely in my sedan's (toyota avalon) trunk along with my kid's stroller. It's light weight and has good quality parts.The only negative is the vibrations on a rough road may be too inconvenient to rider. Also this cannot take any small hiccup on the road and has the potential risk of the person falling over - due to its small size of tires. So we should be very cautionary about such stuff on pavement. I think this is what you are trading to get portability.

this book taught me how to always leave the table a winner!
|
The trust of this book is that the normal teachings of craps is false and you just can't make any money betting pass line and two come bets. The money is in place bets. I used to bet pass and come and now thanks to this book I bet place bets only. I learned how to chart the table and combine my bets. I dont win all the time but I do win most of the time, and I wouldn't if it wasn't for this book. Read it, especially if you are a pass line bettor - it will change your betting life as it did mine.

So where is the system?
|
I got this book hoping to find a system. Something that would explain to me a systematic process of betting that would be backed by theory and evidence.What I got is a sales book. This book is nothing more than a prelude to the Mega-Charting book that he has written. When I buy a book I want that book to have closure. I don't want to buy a book read it and realize that I have to buy 3 more books of the author to actually get to the system.He repeats everything about 3 times. So the book is 190 pages, but only 63 pages of true information. Oh btw: Zeke if your reading these that is really 63.3333333333, but for this review purpose I rounded to 63. Sounds like the book.So what did this book do for me. HMMMM! Let's see. I sit here with the following information. Use Place Bets when your charting tells you to. If you ever feel like the 7 is coming then take your bets down. Buy my book on charting.I am really disappointed in this book.

This could be Everything You ALways To Know about place bets
|
This could be Everything You ALways To Know about place bets! I learned why place bets are much better than pass line or come bets and how to make the most money by taking them down at the right time. He also talks about optimizing your bankroll, combining your place bets (a real eye opener!) and charting the tables., he also tells how to make MORE profit from two wins than six wins! This is a great book with a lot of good info!

full of misconceptions

author writes as if the dice has eyes and a brain .pg. 190 corner shooting\ ;shooters who constantly toss the dice for the corners or aparticular corner have the rarest of rare hot streaks.;;pg. 179 ;i always avoid shooters tossing the dice at an angle into the corners''.pg. 21 ''don't try to out smart the dice. pg.121 dice have no memory' every toss or roll of the diceis completely independent of any previous toss of the dice''. i agree with pg 121 does the author?

Kindle Edition is a Losing Bet

I borrowed this book through the kindle library to see if I would like it enough to buy it; I am glad that I did not buy it because all the pages were viewed sideways no matter which way I turned my kindle. I WISH I COULD HAVE READ IT!

Not the right book for me.
|
The book teaches on how to safely play at the table. Your goals for that night should be bigger than $24 an hour. To be that safe in betting the game of craps will not be fun.

Awesome book

Actually I may be a little biased on this book. My grandmother wrote it. It is a very nice poem book though. I remember her telling me about how some of the poems alluded to my father and his youth.

Old Bugs Character
|
These cartoons feature the old version of bugs bunny from the 1940s.I gave it 2 stars since I don't like this incarnation of Bugs.I don't know exactly when they transformed Bugs into the more familiar version which to me was his best incarnation. Probably in the 1950s sometime.Jeff Marzano

Seemed a little old.

I ordered several bags of Haribo gummy clown fish expecting soft and flavorful candy, but received gummi candy that was harder than what I could get in the bulk candy bins at the local store. Very disappointed. They seemed old and not fresh.

WARNING! Crippling anti-smoking bias!
|
Despite the prim "research volume"-type title, this is nothing more than an extensive anti-smoking screed with a scattering of simplistic information about tobacco and smoking. This severe bias unfortunately renders the book almost utterly worthless, and those looking for factual, unbiased, and useful information about smoking and tobacco are recommended to search for a copy of the out-of-print Tobacco Encyclopedia by Voges.

Diamonds are the Perfect Lure
|
Ian St. James creates the perfect lure for an ambitious accountant in THE MONEY STONES. Mike Townsend is slowly climbing the ladder in the banking industry, but when the chance occurs to move out on his own he follows Rupert Hallsworth to a new career.The partnership is running very well when Hallsworth suggests a new venture in mining diamonds of an island owned by Aristotle Pepalasis. Mike is more than ready to listen to a scheme that can garner a great score of wealth in one fell swoop.A fast read with plenty of undercurrents.Nash Black, SINS OF THE FATHERS

Great Book
|
Matt was my prof for aquaculture and his book mimics his understandable method of teaching. It is readable, but not patronizing. He was a pioneer of aquaculture at Harbor Branch. Recommend this and his class for anyone interested in aquaculture

A tiny, very light object
|
Four step directions. I could not even get the thing to extend far enough to do anything but perch on the bridge of my nose. I am not usually a complete idiot, but nothing in the directions made it possible for me to comfortably place this thing over my eyes, nor was I able EVER to get the distance changer to change at all. Whatever it was will remain a mystery, as I broke down and paid the postage to send this thing back. Honestly, it is so small, it seems more appropriate for a chld, maybe. But I couldn't find one to test it on.

dangerously delicious
|
So. GOOD. I eat candy all the time, and this is one of my favorites. It's infinitely munchable, which is good and bad for self-control. ;) Normal gummies bore me because there's just not that much excitement going on in your mouth. But the fizzy sour powder provides a serious carbonated kick and I can alternate sucking/chewing for a PARTY IN MY MOUTH. So good I ate way too much at once and was burping the entire day.

Not crazy about these at all. I don't mind the "sour" taste, but a little too much for me. Like the regular cola bottles better.

Careful, you might find yourself eating the whole bag! I was surprised at the amount I actually received....12 bags and the 5 ounces doesn't sound like much but is actually a pretty good sized bag. Kids loved em, took em to work and fellow nurses loved em, you just keep reaching for 1 more. Was well packaged and fresh. Much better priced than at the store.

These are simply amazing!

First off, these are dam addictive, be careful. They're slightly sour, tart, but not puckering sour. Haribo did a dam good job on these fizzy colas, I will be buying more in the future if I don't become a diabetic by then, good day!

Excellent guide for locating assisted living facilities
|
I purchased this book after seeing a copy from a friend. It's a must book to have if you're looking for an assisted living facility for a loved one. Great description of the many facilities in S.F. and the peninsula. There's a desperate need to have more of these books throughout the country.Only drawback is that the listed prices of the assisted living facilities are now out-dated. Prices are now higher than what was quoted in the book. Therefore there's a need to keep this updated annually if at all possible.

Excellent resource!
|
I purchased this when I was trying to locate a new living space for my elderly mother-in-law. As she was living in the San Francisco area and I was coming in from Wisconsin, it was extremely difficult to collect good information, but this book really helped me narrow down the choices. I would have given this five stars, but the binding was inadequate and I ended up relying on a large rubber band to hold all the pages in the book!
