1 | casio sk1 circuit bending | great book for beginning circuit benders. you can go to the publishers website for close ups of the circuit board diagrams which was helpful because the ones in the book are printed kind of small. if you want to get into circuit bending, this is the book for you. my casio sk1 is now able to produce sounds that i never thought it was capable of and the combinations are endless and very unpredictable, which is a good thing in circuit bending! | positive |
1 | a must have for anyone interested in circuit bending | If you are interested in circuit bending and would like to start bending your own instruments, this is the book for you. I bought Mr. Ghazala's book last June and started bending an old toy keyboard a couple of weeks later. I had never even touched a soldering iron until I read this book! All of the basics of bending and soldering are covered in great detail and diagrams are provided for the 15 projects included in the book. With the fundamentals you will learn in this book, you can go on to bend whatever you want to. Why not learn to bend from Reed Ghazala, the father of circuit bending? | positive |
1 | Graceful & Artistic | This is one of the best "coffee table" yoga books out there. The pictures are done in black and white which make the postures look graceful. If you do display it on your coffee table, it makes for a great conversation piece, especially if you practice yoga. | positive |
1 | Beautiful "coffe table book" but something is lacking | I think that Linda Sparrowe did a fine job, the photography is stunning, (all black and white) of some of the finest names in yoga, but ... something is missing. There's no sweat showing, no hair out of place, no wrinkle in any clothing ... a bit plastic. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed looking through the book and when you take it for what it is, (a coffe table book not a practice manual) I think it's stunning. My personal preference would be to show a touch more of the "grit" of each pose. Being as I purchased the book and enjoy owning it, I'm just putting my critical opinion here. | positive |
1 | Amazing book, incredible pictures ! | Very cool piece of art. Everyone in the class wants to steal it ! =)I'd recommend it for everyone, even for those who don't practice yoga.The quality of the paper and the pics themselves is what dazzle you as first impression, but the name of every asana and very well organized chapters, make the book a very useful tool... Now the teacher calls the asanas by their real sanskrit names and I know what to do (or what I'm supposed to do), but maybe I will have to wait 30 years in order to reach a similar level than the guys in the pictures; they are all masters and there is a lil profile of everyone of them at the end of the book. | positive |
1 | Fits and works great! | With the old switch the vehicle would periodically just cut off and die, it was just worn out. The installation of the new switch was quick and easy and it fit perfectly. No more engine dying while driving down the road, and the price was a lot better than I ever imagined. | positive |
0 | Not very adjustable | I wouldn't buy them again. They are priced right, but the depth stops are useless. You can't really adjust them to make the depth change. And the allen bolts that hold them in place strip out as soon as you try and tighten them. We tried using them for a minute or two and set them aside. | negative |
0 | porqueria | amazon deberia ser mas selectivo con los productos que comercializa, pues este producto en realidad es basura, no mas en la prueba se barrio la rosca de un tornillo allen que sujeta el anillo de profundidad. | negative |
1 | Great cleaner | Bought this after my paddles came. Definitely helps keep them clean and helps them stay tacky for great spin/speed. Worth the money to keep my paddles in good working order. | positive |
1 | CLEAN YOUR STUFF! | works super nice. however english is my first and only language and the bottle is in some sort of space lingo. | positive |
1 | Table tennis cleaner. | I just needed something to fill out my order and this worked perfectly. It's small enough to fit in my bag and not be noticable. It works good on the go. | positive |
0 | Use Water! | All you need is water and a paper towel! All you need is water and a paper towel! All you need is water and a paper towel! | negative |
1 | For anyone interested in keeping their paddle maintained | I play for a couple hours every week day with a Carlos Chiu Butterfly paddle. The paddle when new was incredible, the spins and the speed were beyond what any of my opponents have ever seen. As time went on, with constant cleaning using this product, the paddle has remained FAR stickier than any of my opponents more expensive paddles. For a small $20 investment, I would say it's a small price to pay to double the life of your paddle's spin an control, and keep that winning edge ;). | positive |
1 | Cleaner table tennis | The cleaner and a warm rubber is very good, is the best in their classes, I recommend it as any butterfly products. | positive |
1 | Nice ideas for party games | Probably better for large crowds & ways to enliven training seminars - you could add a little twist & make the activities "educational." This probably wouldn't go over well with a small crowd. | positive |
1 | Wow works better than expected. | I didn't think that it would grip the wood as will as it did. I am happy that I purchased it. Having one fail on me driving a large piece on the Lathe it was nice to use without a better one and not have any problems at all. | positive |
1 | 1" lathe drive | PSI Woodworking LCENTSS22 No. 2 MT with 1-Inch Crown Super Wood Lathe Drive Centershipment was quick the tool is the product I wanted , price was right.what else can you ask for | positive |
0 | defective | I must have received a defective drive center. The point is supposed to be spring loaded. The one I received is recessed inside of the spurs, will not move, stuck in this position and it is impossible to get the drive on center. | negative |
0 | Lathe drive center | Thought it might be better than pounding a four lipped drive center into a wood block. Either I'm using it wrong or it indeed can't do the lob.The prongs slips and saws a circle instead of holding the wood stock for turning. | negative |
0 | Lathe drive center | Drive center does not hold wood securely. Lathe drive will continue while billet in lathe stops, Even with substantial pressure from tail stock. Probem more pronounced in hard wood. I would not recommend this product. | negative |
1 | One of the most perfect jazz voices today | I love Tierney's voice. She is certainly one of the best of today's jazz singers. I took away one star because the bass playing on this CD often overwelms Tierney and the piano, especially the piano. Hopefully on the next CD they'll take the bass down a notch or two and bring up the piano. | positive |
1 | A Superb Album | The formidable musical talents of the quartet combine with some wonderful music to make this album one to treasure. The first track became an instant Jazz classic when Tierney sang it. | positive |
0 | Caveat Emptor | BE CAREFUL! Read the back cover notes: "...Specially realized by Anthony Pitts and Alexander L'Estrange for this recording, the complete collection is interleaved with new English hymns..." What this means is that most or all cuts are disfigured with "modernization," i.e. passages that sound as if played on a badly warped LP. Why Messrs. Pitts and L'Estrange chose to vandalize these beautiful pieces would be an interesting question, but be advised that they have in fact done so. Shame on Naxos. I bought my copy cheaply at second hand, so am simply tossing it into the wastebasket. | negative |
0 | A Misleading Album | Stay away from this album! It contains classic music from Orlando Gibbons, but it has been "specially realized" in a manner that adds much dissonance and many ugly sounds to the original product. If you're looking for an album of beautiful classical music, avoid this one. | negative |
1 | Huge Explosion! | "Suddenly, there was an enourmous flash of light, the brightest light I have ever seen, or that I think anyone has ever seen. It blasted; it pounced; it bored its way through you. It was a vision which was seen with more than with the eye." These are the words of phsicist Isodore I. Rabiabout the explosion of the test atomic bomb.I really enjoyed this book because it was about World War II and I like to read books about World War II. But, if you like war stories you should try reading the American War series because I think that they are more exciting. But, I still recommend this book to anyone that likes to read about World War II or is interested in the atomic bomb. | positive |
0 | I don't get it | After reading the glowing reviews of this CD, I bought a used copy. The best thing I could say about it is I, thankfully, did not have to pay full price for it (hence the 1 star). There are much, much, much better acts out there in this genre; Mostly Autumn, Karnataka, Sky Cries Mary, Janison Edge. | negative |
1 | Take a lick from the N master......... | this is the best cd that ive ever heard. some of the top picks that are highly recommended are "take a lick", "put it in your mouth" and "coooooochie mama". so the next time you stop by the store check out this great 1999 cd by AKIN-YELE. if you have any objections give me and me friends a holla at BERKELEY. | positive |
1 | Great album | I love BoA, and this is one of the few recent albums I actually like from BoA. My Name and Girls on Top were decent, but Outgrow is more enjoyable. The songs are fun and catchy, with both poppy music and slow ballads. The best songs are probably Cosmic Eyes, Dakishimeru, Everlasting, Kimi No Tonari De, Outgrow, and Soundscape (or at least, they're my favorites from this CD). | positive |
1 | an excellent look at archetype/poetics as reference to life | John Clarke has has gone night-swimming with the myths of the ages...he provides us with absolutely useful and inspiring notions of the mysteries of our archetypal past...how they relate to our present condition and how they ultimately define us as beings in progress. This work provides crucial insight into the language of possibility and senseless pathologizing which would interest psychologists, poets, priests, politicians, medical doctors, and particularly theoretical physicists. This is a work of unimaginable richness and possibility. John Clarke was a visionary the likes of which I have not seen or heard of in our time. --Mark Bottita | positive |
1 | Book on web and digital camera use | I have not read the entire book, but chose subjects I needed information on. What I learned about my digital camera was far more clear than what is in my camera instruction book.I would recommend this for anyone who owns a digital camera and does web design with those pictures. | positive |
1 | Simply the best | La Terrrazza is one of the best summer night clubs in Europe. Set on top of MontJuic in Barecelona, its built in a replication of a Majorican mansion with a stone terrace looking over the dance floor. Truly the place to be in the summer of Barcelona. Sergio Patricio is one of several resident DJs and mixes one of the three disks in this album with a tropical house flavor. Just listening to the music will put you on the patio of the Terrrazza surrounded by colorful people, Mediterranean air, and waving palm trees. If you like this, think also about purchasing the albums from the winter version of Terrrazza called Discoteque. | positive |
0 | Bad and disappointing service | I ordered the product on February 2. The seller said it may take 6 to 21 days to receive it by mail. It is the 3rd of March and I have yet to receive it. I will no longer do business with this seller. | negative |
1 | Garner is Marlowe | In this film James Garner does a great job in being the down on his luck, in the middle of it all detective Phillip Marlowe. he is the strength of this movie. The writing is good and has an outstanding cast of character actors. Carroll Oconnor, Gayle Hunnicutt, Sharynn Farrell, and Kenneth Tobey to name a few.If you collect mystery or detective films this is a great addition to your collection. | positive |
1 | Garner as Private Eye as Tenatious as a Bobo Doll | Garner wins our sympathy as a battered P.I. who's client doesn't like him and neither do the thugs who cross his path. This movie will make you feel like laughing and crying at the some time. But you know that Marlowe is tough enough to come out on top at the end of the day. Sort of corny in a Seventies kind of way, Marlowe is definitely comforting mind candy so curl up with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy! | positive |
1 | Portable Sangean SR-25V Radio | I was anxious to get a radio since my car radio went out. When the Sangean arrived, I was so happy that it had a rich, full sound and a lot of power for such a small radio. It was a great buy and at a great price. | positive |
1 | Learn how to be a woman of confidence and hope! | My small group has done each of Dee Brestin's Bible study guides in her "A Woman's Journey Through..." series and we have loved each one! A Woman's Journey Through I Peter taught me to place my hope in Christ alone. By studying scripture, you learn how to find confidence in Christ. Dee's perspective on I Peter is invaluable and helps you see how precious women are to God. Dee's study guide contains daily studies so that you can consistenly dig deep into scripture. There are options for memorizing scriture and it includes songs. It is perfect for a small group and is easy to lead. We can't wait for Dee's next study guide on Psalms! Thank you, Dee! | positive |
0 | Way, way diluted -- not resemble photo | Take the citra-solv in the photo (the orange citra-solv we fell in love with), fill a bottle one-third with it, then add 2/3 water and voila -- the current citra-solve. WAY WAY more diluted. Not even orange as in the photo but a pale yellow. Shame on you, Citra-solve. | negative |
1 | Uncle Sam Carving | This book was written because I had people who wanted Uncle Sam carvings to add to their collections. I couldn't find any books which featured this topic, so I had to design my own patterns in order to fulfill their wishes. I realized that at a certain point, I had created enough patterns to do a book on Uncle Sam, and this is the result. The carving project in the book was designed to be easy enough for a beginer to accomplish, but leave some latitude so that more experienced carvers could add more details as their skill permitted. | positive |
0 | Don't waste your money | This is my second bottle and decided to stop taking the fenugreek tincture I was taking in addition to this product. My milk supply decreased dramatically after a couple days. MotherLove does not publish how many milligrams of fenugreek is in More Milk Plus. I called MotherLove and they told me there is 130mg of fenugreek per dose. This is a very small amount! Going forward I will continue to use More Mild Plus but will not purchase more when this container is empty. I recommend just buying fenugreek tincture. The product I found at a local compounding pharmacy has 333mg of fenugreek per dose. | negative |
0 | Description of Use--Buy the Capsules!! | The taste is horrible! Mothers will do a lot for their babies, but save yourself the trouble and buy the capsule version! Here's a description of what the product is designed for:A safe and effective formula designed to quickly increase breast milk for breastfeeding mothers. | negative |
1 | It's Working Well!! | This stuff doesn't taste great, but it is working wonderfully! It gives me great peace of mind to know that I will have enough milk pumped to feed my son for the next day. | positive |
1 | 100% Satisfaction | My daughter is two months old, my milk supply seemed to have suddenly decreased.I nurse as well as pump throughout the day. I am a skeptical person by nature regarding fads and products that I haven't heard much about...More Milk Plus Alcohol Free 4 oz MotherloveI have tried other products that claim to increase milk supply without much success. I read the reviews for More Milk and had to try it! I am so happy I did! 1/4 t 4 times a day isn't much at all and as others had mentioned the taste is bad, but not unbearable when mixed with another liquid. I received More Milk on 1-25 and as of today 1-26 I have pumped 2 additional oz per breast per pumping! At first I thought the product seemed pricey but compared to buying formula if my milk supply were to dry up seemed pretty reasonable. | positive |
0 | Careful! This product could thin your blood. | Now, this may not be an issue for you. But it was for me. While taking this product I got my first period since labor and I got severe bleeding. And when I'm saying severe I mean severe. That's something to consider if you have recently given birth and are still bleeding from it.But that's not the reason why I'm giving this product the bad review. The main reason is that it didn't work for me. I think it actually decreased my milk production which is probably the reason my period came back shortly after I started taking it.It worries me that they claim to "safely" increase milk production. I think at a minimum they should warn about the blood thinning effects of the product on the label.I contacted the company about this issue and my recommendation of including possible side effects on the label. I will updated if they answer. | negative |
1 | Best Product | I have used this with all three of my children. I love it, I notice a huge difference when using it. | positive |
0 | Save your money and buy fenugreek pills | This stuff made my gf smell like pancakes, which may not be a bad thing but it was a little disturbing. We found no benefit to this stuff over regular fenugreek pills, which are much cheaper and dont taste disgusting. | negative |
0 | Please beware | As some others, I would like to mention that this blend contains fenugreek, which may cause gases with some of the babies. My little one started being fussy, was having stomache cramps, gases, was crying and therefore difficulties to fall asleep. After I stopped it took my baby one week to get back to normal well-being. So please watch out for your baby reaction.I have written to the Seller, but they refused to refund as the bottle was opened. While had I bought it at Motherlove directly, they would be able to refund or replace. | negative |
0 | Amazon shipped Alcohol version! | I ordered the Alcohol FREE version, once my wife tried it we discovered it had alcohol. Per manufacturer's website the alcohol free version says on the front label that it's alcohol free...very disappointing that Amazon can't get that right. I'm not the first person complaining about it!!! Now, we have to wait couple more days to get the new order...hoping they ship the right thing this time again. | negative |
0 | didn't work for me | I'm pumping and a friend of mine heard about more milk plus and told me. I took it for two days and it actually decreased my milk supply with 2 oz. I don't have enough milk as it is so i stopped taking it. | negative |
0 | gross | The taste is so aweful, I tried to find different was to swallow but there is no masking the taste!!!! Get the pills.. | negative |
0 | Ugh | I bought More Milk Plus despite the numerous reviews noting that it has a foul taste. I have an iron stomach and adventurous palate, but even I couldn't handle this stuff. After one dose, I poured it down our kitchen sink and now my husband is complaining about a stench in our house. Obviously, I can't comment on how effective this product is at increasing lactation. I do suspect it would work fine to keep deer out of your yard. No complaints whatsoever, however, about the vendor from whom I purchased it. | negative |
0 | Wrong product :( | I ordered 2 bottles of this stuff and they sent me 2 bottles of the one with alcohol in it when it clearly states it's alcohol free. There seems to be no way to contact the seller and being as i'm breastfeeding i can't take the alcohol one. Plus the dropper tops to the bottles were smooshed and damaged so they don't work. The product it's self though works wonderfully. I noticed a differnce in my supply within a few days of taking it. | negative |
1 | Got us through... | I ordered this product at the recommendation of another nursing mom. At about 8months my milk supply slowed down. I felt sad but was ok with the thought of supplementing with formula. Baby would have NOTHING to do with this idea! I tried nettles tea and fenugreek supplements with little improvement. The more milk plus significantly improved my production and after 48 hours I was able to cut back the dose. Baby THANKS YOU!! | positive |
0 | Contained "Grain Alcohol" | This product had a main ingredient of 43-53% grain alcohol. Not sure how "Alcohol Free" contained grain alcohol. Awful misrepresentation. | negative |
0 | DO NOT BUY MAKE YOU GAG!!!! | I didn't have time to figure out if this worked because I literally GAGGED every time I tried taking it. I rarely ever throw up and do not have a sensitive gag reflex and I couldn't choke this stuff down to save my life. Don't waste your money on this- buy the pills! | negative |
0 | Didn't work for me | I used it everyday and it didn't work for me. There were many great reviews of how it did wonders for people so I thought I would try. Now I am just buying OTC items and the pharmacy and those seem to work better. | negative |
0 | Tastes awful and doesn't work | Unfortunately, after two weeks of consistently taking this product (which tastes extremely bad, I might add) and pumping / breastfeeding every 1-2 hours my milk supply has continued to drop. Sorry to say that it simply doesn't work, even combined with the strictest extraction regime. | negative |
1 | funny | This is a funny book. Whenever I used to think of Yiddish humor, I thought of Jackie Mason, Groucho Marx, Woody Allen.Now I learn that theirs was just Jewish humor. The Jews really get their humor from the Yiddish. Now whenever I think of Yiddish humor, I think of this book and I fall off my chair laughing. Buy this book! | positive |
0 | Cord remote for KM 5d DSLR | This device worked well. The seller delivered on time, without difficulty | negative |
1 | Perfect! | I was surprised with how cute this growth chart really is! Made of wood, painted with a variety of pastel colors that should match almost any girl's room decor and three slots for pictures, I couldn't ask for more! | positive |
0 | growth charts | I typed in growth charts for my baby's records & I found the price for them, but there are NO pictures of them! I like what they might look like by the patterns. But I have a hard time ordering something that I cant see first. This site needs to show more pics of what they are trying to sell. | negative |
1 | A Must for any Kesey Fan! | I loved this book. When I couldn't find a good copy of "On the Bus" I went looking for some Kesey I had not read. Garage Sale satisfied my craving. Great book regardless, but a must read for any Kesey fan. | positive |
1 | Silly songs are great | These cd's are great. I originally bought a couple cd's thinking that they would be sung by kids, and they were not. My sister-in law had these and I bought them right away! They got the kids involved with dancing and instantly put a smile on their face. When I put them on when they were throwing a tantrum or something, it stopped them in their tracks and they started playing to the music.I have one son (2) and so daycare for another 2 year old girl...hands full, and I have a cd in the car, the living room, my bedroom and my sons room. There is plenty of variety on these cd's that it doesn't get tiresome. HIGHLY RECOMEND!!! | positive |
0 | What Happened? | I can't believe it. Everything I held dear about the Hang Ups is gone. It's as if someone told them, "Look, if your next album doesn't do well, your career is over. What you guys play isn't selling right now, so we're going to hook you up with a couple of REM's old producers to make you sound like everyone else. Oh, and by the way, lose the quirky songwriting and guitar parts." And the worst part is, it appears that they took this advice to heart. Gone is everything that made them unique; in its place is good solid generic songwriting. They sound like warmed over Semisonic.I can't ever remember waiting for a new release so eagerly and being so disappointed. | negative |
0 | Kind of Weak | I found this cd to be sort of a let down. I loved So We Go and thought this would be such a good follow-up. Mitch Easter is one of my all-time favorite composers and producers so I was convinced his talents would produce a great cd. Maybe all of this hype for me was too much. After getting the cd the day it came out and listening to it a couple times I felt completely let down. Not what I expected at all. Then I saw them live in Duluth MN and man did that suck. The worst Hang Ups show I've seen and I've seen plenty. The cd lacks the catchy and melodic tunes that are so powerful in So We Go. On an upnote.... the web site is cool. www.thehangups.com | negative |
1 | Watercolour for absolute beginners | I have just started to do some art work for the first time in my life and I have just turned 70 years old. I find this book so very helpful and can actually like some of my paintings. The book explains everything in such an easy way and makes me feel good about my work. I would recommend this book to anyone. Just excellent. | positive |
0 | rattles like crazy | This thing is built ok, heavy duty bolt and nut and whatnot, but the spinning nob has a lot of play and rattles loudly when idling in my old truck. it jiggled so much that i removed it. | negative |
1 | Good product, novice could use some instructions | I had never used a steering knob before, but need one now, since I must have hand brake/throttle controls due to a medical condition. As a novice, I found the article/review, "A Helpful Word on Spinners - Spinners 101" very helpful, and, since it was posted among the reviews for this item, this is the one I selected.The knob itself is fine, but some brief installation instructions would have been very helpful (in fact, if there had been some installation instructions, I probably would rate this at 5 stars). To begin, the size of the wrenches would be very good--seems to be 11/16", which is what I used, but might be 17 mm. Need an open end and a box or socket. The other big point for instructions is to be sure the inner nut is screwed down toward the knob before beginning installation--that would have saved me time and frustration.Now that I have it installed, I'm happy. | positive |
1 | Makes driving possible again | this item makes driving possible again for my husband who had a stroke in Sept. that left his left arm weak. Physical therapy is helping him regain his strength, but this is a temporary life saver. | positive |
1 | Small Adjustment for Lawnmower | This spinner works great so far! It was easy to install. All you need to do is tighten a nut. We wanted them on our lawnmowers. I did need to add one little layer of rubber for the grip to fit the smaller wheel. We had put rubber roofing on our place which is like a slightly thick inner tube so all I had to do was cut a 1/2" x about 2-3" piece and tighten the spinner around that. The grip was really tight with this small addition and my husband (with an injured shoulder) mowed a huge lawn with his left hand. He really appreciated the spinner and would not have been able to use the wheel all afternoon without it. | positive |
1 | classic steering wheel spinner | This saves your hands and wrists from too much repetitive motion. Great for steering and turns. | positive |
0 | Run!!!!!!!!!! | Various artists my hind leg! The only variation in these 4 coasters is the misery you feel when you remember you actually paid your hard-earned money for this waste of plastic. Save your money and your disappointment for something a little more worthy of your emotions and your wallet. You have been warned. | negative |
0 | All the bells and wistles but where's the inigma decoder? | I spent many hours trying to figure out how to use this software and I am stumped. The enclosed pamphlet and help features talk to a user who has experience in the recording industry and understands the jargon. For example - when you create a multitrack project, how do you record sound,songs or whatever to each track? Simple right. Wrong. It never tells you. You have to read 30 odd pages of jumble and try to figure it out. After 6 hours I still could not figure it out.My suggestion. Unless you know of someone who has used and understands this product. Buy something less expensive and more basic. Good luck. | negative |
0 | A huge disappointment/hassle | This program did not work right out of the box and Magix tech support wasted a lot of my time. When you try to start the program, you will receive the following error message: "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down." I have a fairly new computer with all the modern features: 450 mhertz CPU, Windows 98, 32 bit sound, etc. Tech support tried to blame the problem on my system and told me to go through a whole bunch of manipulations. They would tell me to do a bunch of things, I would do them, the program still wouldn't work. After a few cycles of this, I decided to try it on my father's computer which has a different set-up. We got the same problem right at the start. I am an angry and dissatisfied customer. | negative |
0 | Died after one use | This light seemed perfect for live performance. I am a singer with a band and needed to be able to discreetly see the lyrics in a dimly lit bar. The quality of light it produced, and the shape of it were great. Sadly, after the first use, the light no longer worked, even with new batteries installed - again. | negative |
0 | Spare Bulb, anyone? | We used this nifty little light for about 10 hours.The batteries held up well, but the light bulb burned out mid-performance.We were prepared with new batteries, not new bulb.Also, it is cheap plastic and needs to be handled very carefully.We'll continue to use it with a stash of batteries AND bulbs.Also, bought the Might Brite Duet Stand Light.These have LED bulbs and position much better on the whole stand of music.Still made in China and cheap plastic, but will suffice for now.{{* *}} | negative |
0 | Nice design, Poor Construction | I loved the style of the light, but it was made of weak plastic parts in which breaks REAL easy. The clamp broke immediately and then the switch came apart. Had to hot-wire it to get it to work..It still doesn't work right. Wish they would make it out of good, solid metal parts. It would be the perfect tool for any musician if it were made of good material. | negative |
1 | Mighty Bright Sight Reader Light | This is a nifty little night light. It's far superior to many on the market. Having the plug-in adapter is a good idea. | positive |
0 | Mighty Lousy Junk from China | The "Mighty Bright" Sight Reader is a cheap piece of junk that fell apart with moderate use within weeks. The bulb burned out within 1 week! Very poor design and junky construction. AVOID IT. | negative |
1 | A Brother's Take | Now, let's see, a man reading a very colorful book titled Sex and the Single Sister on the train? Hmmm....It gets some looks, especially from curious women. And on top of that reason, I just absolutely loved the book (the sex scenes were scalding hot). I believe I must have dated those girls in the book in the past! I went through all that (okay, some) stuff with women. It took me 3 days to finish. The author was hard on women. She gave brothers a chance to breathe! My favorite character was Alaya. That is a unique lady, and I was a Keith in someone else's life. I recommend this book to men and women all over. It's popping! | positive |
0 | I'm waiting... | I'm still waiting for this book to get really good and I'm done reading it! I did in fact take this book on vacation with me and it took me seven days to finish it! I usually read a really good book in one - three days. The book is not the worse I have read, but certainly it not one of the better ones. For a debut I guess, it will suffice. | negative |
0 | Seriously Lacking Substance | I was really excited about reading this book because of the great cover and all the hype surrounding it before it came out, calling it the black version of Sex in the City. While I feel the author has potential, I did not enjoy this book. All the novellas seemed pretty much identical and none of the characters moved me at all. I did not feel a connection or care about any of them. I am a single black woman and to read a book about a bunch of hard-up sisters trying to get men that either do not want them or men that want them but they are too silly to realize it was halfway humiliating. I wish the author well with future projects but this one leaves a lot to be desired. | negative |
0 | Better luck next time | At the risk of incurring the wrath of reading sisters everywhere, I have to say that I was disappointed with this book. The characters were poorly fleshed out, the storylines weak and the resolutions rushed and unsatisfying. The characters lacked inviduality and there was nothing in any of the stories except really descriptive sex scenes to hold a reader's attention. In additon, the conclusions for all of the five stories are slapped together at the end of the book like an afterthought. The author does have potential (that is most clearly illustrated in the sex scenes) but she must really learn to develop both the characters and the plots of her stories . | negative |
1 | A black man's Point of view | I purchased this book after meeting the author, I initially thought it was another ( all black men are dogs and no good ) type of book, but found that was not true, the characters male and female were interesting and the storylines were diverse, I happen to know several male and females with whom these characters could have been modeled after with very similar life experiences, finally someone showing that some black women could be just as cunning and selfish as some black men, not in a bad way but in a really thoughtful manner. I look forward to reading Ms. Reed next piece of work. | positive |
0 | It Could Have Been Better | The good part. Very juicy, realistic sex scenes, and some fun dialogue along the way. I give kudos to the writer for even being able to get something like this published, since apparently there aren't any Black women who have Sex in the City...On the other hand, as far as the plots were concerned, I feel the writer could have taken another few seasons to flesh out the character development. It made it seem like the women were pretty canvases, with no heart, backbone, morals or personality. However, the book is very fast-paced and racy, and if that is what you are looking for, then buy this book. | negative |
0 | Leaves much to be desired! | While it wasn't a complete waste of time, I am glad that I checked this book out from my local library. It really fell short of my expectations. The biggest problem is that it lacked depth. I'm not a writer but I can definitely tell that Maryann Reid could have developed her characters more. (Perhaps it would have been better if she focused on fewer characters). I understand that this book is a light read but it lacked too much. Furthermore, the ending seemed rushed. | negative |
1 | Hot under the collar! | This book was a quick and juicy read!I must admit, I don't know any women as shallow as the one's depicted in this novel, but that's why it's called fiction. At the same time I'm sure that the personalities of Waceera and Kenya exist. The stories were entertaining and the sex was lively.I would highly recommend this book. It's an easy read and good while vacationing under the sun. | positive |
1 | Really funny! | I really enjoyed the short stories format of this book. I could not help but laugh most of the time, even when the girls were getting on my nerves! When Farah and that congressman.....Well, OK...It includes a fetish of some sort. I won't ruin it for those who haven't read it! And that little comment Fernando told Alaya about single, successful men was off the wall! (A comment I agree with!). I highly recommend it. I got my copy fresh from Amazon.com last week and I may order another for my niece! | positive |
1 | Still a wonderful tool | I've had this book for decades and find it extremely helpful in teaching beginning readers. I had shared it with a co-teacher and a ceiling leak destroyed it. We were thrilled to find it still in print (much prettier cover now!) and bought one each for us and an extra for a friend. (I teach literacy and Special Ed). | positive |
1 | 5-star if it's printed on SACD or LP. | Very dynamic voice and extrememly sexy especially when it's winding down or winding up. It's not jazyy nor boring.Equipment:1.

1 | xXx~*YoU wAnT tO rEaD tHiS*~xXx | This is an awesome CD!!! If I had to classify them I'd say they're somewhere in-between pop/punk/rock. It's mostly filled with upbeat melodies, which contradict the emotional lyrics at times. The band is from L.A., they all have blonde hair, and reflect that surfy-sound. This CD is pretty hard to find anywhere else, so I recommend you buy it now! Their sound could definitely remind you of Weezer, or The Ataris. CHECK OUT THIS BAND, YOU'LL LOVE EM...I promise. | positive |
1 | Bathroom accessory set | Love these! all look great and east to instal as long as you have a bit of DIY knowledge...Well worth paying a little extra for slightly better quality!Recommend it for those hunting! | positive |
1 | sounds great in surround sound | I converted my backroom/garage into a man cave with a 7 speaker surround system powered by a 700 watt receiver and this album/disc sounds incredible, especially "Mr. Hate" and "Let's make some noise". The band is tight and the interplay on stage is nice too. Prarie Prince remains my favorite drummer of all time and he is impressive on this disc. I crank it up at least once a week to bring back fond memories of seeing them live. It is in my top 5 of live albums of alltime, along with their earlier masterpiece, "What do you want from Live". | positive |
0 | THIS SWEEPER IS AWFUL ! (not my first Bissell either) | Only good thing is it's light weight as I am in a wheelchair. I was attracted to it by the price. Well, you get what you pay for. It doesn't pick up things. I am using it for small scraps and threads and the usual fuzzies and dust on a carpet. It's AWFUL. Wish I would have returned it. It makes my work harder. So, be aware......before you buy. | negative |
0 | Very Disappointed | The sweeper does not work on hard floors. It just pushes the dirt around. Sure it picks up apple jacks - but I want it for dirt not food particles. The guys at the store loved it for carpeting; they were paying with it when I bought one. But if you have anything other than carpeting.... very disappointing!! | negative |
1 | Bissell Sweep Up Model 2101-3 | This little sweeper does exactly what I was looking for! I use it on white tile, laminate, carpet, and throw rugs.On laminate, it requires a tad more downward force to prevent the wheels from sliding. This is easily accomplished by placing index finger on pole (while the remainder of the hand is on the handle). This slight pressure is sufficient to achieve the desired result.On tile, it does not pull items from grout (vacuum required). Otherwise, it works as planned.On carpet, works well.On throw rugs in bathroom, it is absolutely super! It actually lifts the nap on the rug as well as cleaning.This product is not a vacuum cleaner replacement...no sweepers are! It does not clean well along baseboard (neither does my vacuum w/o a crevice tool). But it is a sturdy device that is easy to clean and does a more than adequate job for quick pickups, which is what I bought it for.I would definitely recommend this product. | positive |
0 | Doesnt work as well as others... | I bought this for 15.00 at a linen store for my kids to use to sweep kitchen hardwood floor after dinner. It lasted one week. The handles come unscrewed and some dirt just gets pushed around (1/4"hard food crumbs or flat crumbs) - it seems to get hair/lint/dust okay if you clean brushes after each use. I don't want to do that as it is for my children's chores. Then after one week - it started making a clunking noise and the roller brush falls partway off when opening dust chamber to empty. I will return this and get a more expensive but worth it Oreck brush sweeper. (I have an older model oreck brush sweeper I use on the back screen porch - it even picks up pollen) | negative |
1 | Sweep-easy | Since I'm not physically able to use a regular vacuum, the Bissell serves to pick up the every day little things that get on the floor. I have a cleaning lady once a month for the deep cleaning, but this enables me to have a decent looking carpet in between her visits. It's light enough to not give me pain. | positive |
0 | Disappointed | I had high hopes for this sweeper, having read some reviews of how well it picks up dog hair. I bought it to use on an antique rug which was showing some wear & tear from years of being vacuumed. I have 2 dogs that shed a lot, and have to clean the rug every other day. This sweeper certainly does pick up the fur, but you must sweep in only one direction. If you try to go back and forth, it deposits the fur back on the rug! Inconvenient, to say the least. I tried using it this way by just walking in circles around the rug. The last straw was when the main brush fell out while I was sweeping. Every time I put it back in, it fell out again. I returned it, and am planning to spend a little more on an Oreck. | negative |
0 | cheap does what cheap is | I thought that a bissell would be a god product,based on my memory as a child. Well i was soooo wrong. It was cheapand it worked cheap. It lost it's bumpers within 2 weeks of little use and really didn't work well from the start Oreckis a far better and more expensive product,you get what you pay for | negative |
0 | TERRIBLE | It fell apart. The 2 little brushes up fell out within 2 weeks! DO NOT BUY THIS. TERRIBLE AWFUL PRODUCT | negative |
