0 | Outdated | I was really stoked to buy this after reading all of these reviews... but if you're really interested in the subject I would go with something else. This is very outdated. Many of the "tips" don't really apply anymore. If you already consider yourself an avid thrift store shopper, this won't be new to you. | negative |
1 | Very useful...tiny bit outdated, but still very useful | This book was really helpful to me. It helped me to know that my mom taught me a LOT about clothing quality. But, it also offers tip about fit and construction of clothing to look for in thrift and consignment stores. I am glad I read it and I'd recommend it to a new thrifter. | positive |
1 | A fabulous, funky resource for vintage shoppers | This book, which has just been featured in In Style is the ONLY book you need to walk into a vintage clothing store empty-handed and come out with an arm load of great buys. It teaches you HOW to shop instead of where to shop. Hollywood stylists have long known these secrets, it's time someone told the rest of us! Thank you, Christa Weil. | positive |
1 | On The Way | This is quite a good album. It's got a nice mix of improv with composition. The best thing's are to follow in future releases, but this is the beginning of what makes Cheer-Accident the leader in the new jam/prog arena - true composition.Get this CD, as it's part of the linnage that brings you to the magnificent "Fear Draws Misfortune." | positive |
1 | Mi esposo y yo lo leímos y lo discutimos por dos meses | porque la verdad, EL LIBRO ES APASIONANTE!Y nos estamos inclinando mucho a pensar seriamente en convertirnos en SWINGERS!Por lo menos, lo vamos a probar !¿POR QUÉ NO SI AMBOS ESTAMOS DE ACUERDO..?NO DEJEN DE LEERLO !VA A MOTIVAR MUCHAS PLÁTICAS QUE ADEMAS, PERMITIRÁN AHONDAR EN LA RELACION DE PAREJA Y CONOCERLA MEJOR ! | positive |
1 | LOS SWINGERS ! | Y SU MUNDO DESCONOCIDO PARA LA MAYORIA !Un excelente libro que nos lleva hasta el fondo de este movimiento que crece mas y mas ! | positive |
1 | A full view and a talented | analysis of SWINGERS...In favor of...The arguments are so powerful that even if you are againt this new sexual preferenca, you start doubting! | positive |
0 | Poor choice for Sony ICF-SW7600GR | I purchased this adaptor thinking I could use it to power my 7600. I was wrong. It makes so much RF noise I wonder why Sony even makes it. Still looking for a clean adaptor. | negative |
0 | Using this Power Supply with a radio. | I read the other reviews before I purchased this power supply. The one review stated that for Short Wave radio use, the power supply created significant interference, but for FM use it was probably fine. Most of our use is for FM, so I purchased the power supply. Locally, our town is considered to be "radio free". Our experience is that for "the one" strong local radio station reception overpowered the interference.For the rest of the stations there was significant interference. We've opted to not use the power supply when we are listening to the stationswe want to listen to. And, just decided to send the Power Supply back.The package clearly states in the first note "Do not use this AC adaptor with a radio as it may cause some noises". Information on web did not sufficiently declare this weakness. | negative |
0 | Not recommended | Had this air cleaner about 60 days. It quit rotating. Then after about another 30 days, it became so loud that we were not able to leave it on high during bedtime hours. Usually leave it on low so we don't have so much noise. Was not noisy at all in the beginning. Tried to make contact with manufacturer but never recieved call back. | negative |
1 | Very Nice Fragrance | I had never used this scent before but had read that it was similar to Chanel 5. While Norell is a very nice fragrance it doesn't really remind me of Chanel at all. The good news is that it is a very nice fragrance. It has a very nice flowery scent, slightly strong until it dries down and then very, very nice. More good news is that it's about half the price of Chanel. It also stayed with me for a long time which I like. I did recieve a compliment or two also. Always a sure fire sign that its a nice scent. | positive |
0 | I like bad stuff | This is horrible, but if you are into bad music the way I am then you will love it, and I certainly hope they continue so I can see where this leads. | negative |
1 | Enjoyable Reference | This is a well-organized book that offers the history of and rules of play for many different kinds of games, indoors and out, with playing pieces and without. One of the many things I enjoy about this book is that you can flip through it and your eyes will be caught by a two-color illustration of some game, such as a card game, and you may think, "Hmm, that looks interesting." Then you read about the game and most likely play it. | positive |
1 | Served all my needs! | My book had no writing, highlighting, marks, anything--it looked like it's been read before, and that's it. Delivery was quick, too! | positive |
1 | The funniest sports book I have ever read | Baseball is unlike any other sport in that the people who make their living in it seem to be funnier than those in other sports. Adler has collected some of the best anecdotes about this wonderful game and while knowledge of the sport is helpful to enjoy them, it is not necessary. Of course, the two masters, Yogi Berra, Casey Stengal, are well represented. Classics like, "It gets late early out there" and "It's so crowded, nobody goes there anymore" still make me laugh after reading or hearing them scores of times.I love baseball and I love to laugh. I experienced both when I read this book. It is the funniest sports book that I have ever read. | positive |
1 | Good for what it is | This is a small, very sharp paring knife that's easy to use.Because it's small, and the handle is narrow and light weight, the applications are limited to small and relatively soft items. The flexible blade is good for boning small items like individual pieces of chicken; it's also handy for working on jobs requiring a small blade such as coring strawberries.I wouldn't recommend it when a stiffer blade is needed such as for cutting hard, or even semi-hard cheeses. | positive |
1 | Great value. | I ordered this knife based on the recommendations of COOKS ILLUSTRATED. I am very pleased w/ the quality of this knife. I would buy again. | positive |
0 | mediocre | I am a HUGE fan of the Forschner full size chef knives. They are well worth the money. this little knife though is $$$ thrown away. Invest in a forged paring knife like a Wusthof or similar. This did not hold its edge, dulled quickly, and was basically garbage. | negative |
1 | COVER PUNCTURED | Great knife, timely delivery. I am using the knife every day. The plastice cover was punctured and I had to toss it as the knife was sticking through it. | positive |
1 | super sharp, convenient size. | I love this knife, whether the serrated one or the non-serrated. I ordered 3 of each to have handy all day for all jobs. | positive |
1 | Perfect! | I bought this knife because we had bought one in Europe and left it behind when we moved to the US. It is exactly the same as the one we had in Europe (except the handle on that one was read) and works perfectly fine, nice and sharp right out of the packaging. We are loving it! | positive |
1 | Best Paring Knives Ever | We bought 5 for $1 each. They stay sharp for a long time (we haven't had to sharpen them yet and have had them for at least 6 months) | positive |
1 | Good Sharp knife | Nice sharp knife good for cutting tomatoes and other items like that, doesn't smoosh the fruit or veggie. | positive |
0 | Too Small | I needed a paring knife and didn't pay attention to the dimensions in the listing. It's a Forschner and I knew it would be a sharp knife which it is. However the handle is way to small (diameter) for anyone with medium to large hands. It's certainly priced right. | negative |
1 | good basic paring knife | This knife looks cheap but that's ok. It seems to be very sharp. I got it because Cook's Illustrated magazine rated it a top buy due to price and quality. | positive |
0 | Flimsy and cheap | I have one of these knives from eight years ago. I just bought some recently as gifts and find they're not the same quality as they once were. The handles are smaller and thinner, and the blade is cheaply made, not the "polished" workmanship from years past. I've very disappointed with Victorinox for sacrificing quality for profit. | negative |
1 | sturdy little knife | this is my go to knife for many smaller kitchen tasks. fits nicely in hand and is easy to control. light weight and has a sturdy grip due to the textured material on handle. i highly recommend this knife. | positive |
0 | No Corn Flavor | A number of other reviewers said they didn't like the flavor. What flavor? It had almost none and if you are hoping for the flavor of corn you'll need to concentrate very hard to imagine it's there. If it was possible to give zero stars... | negative |
0 | Really weird aftertaste | I've made cornbread with this mix a few times now, and it comes out with a funky aftertaste every single time. It's so gross. I wouldn't buy this ever again. Just make your own mix. It's not hard at all. | negative |
0 | The recipe clearly has way too little liquid | I was excited to try the pre-made cornbread mix. However, when I made it using the recipe on the back of the packaging, there seemed to be WAY too little liquid. I could barely get them into the muffin pan, and then they just held their shape (didn't spread into the pan). It seemed to have a decent taste, aside from being dry. So I tried it again using a different recipe, and substituting the mix for the flour in the other recipe. That didn't work perfectly either. I have had much better results just doing it with a recipe and cornmeal. | negative |
0 | Gross | Bad bitter taste and poor texture. My dog wasn't even excited about the scrap I gave him. I'll stick with Jiffy. | negative |
0 | Bland, dry | There wasn't anything I liked about this cornbread. It had a bitter taste and very little flavor. It was also very dry. The directions seemed a little fussy. All the ingredients had to be at room temperature. The pan had to be "gray, nonstick." I usually like Bob's Red Mill products, but I will not buy this cornbread again. | negative |
1 | Wonderful product | This mix makes terrific corn bread muffins. We found no difference between these and muffins containing gluten. A really good product. | positive |
0 | Worst of any gluten free product yet | It's hard to believe the 5 star reviews for this cornbread mix. I should have rated it zero stars. All I can say is these people must not have ever had good cornbread. The taste is bad, the texture is worse. I threw away the pan of cornbread after my husband and I each had a piece. I used the next package (I had bought 3)for turkey dressing and ended up throwing it away. To prevent the possibility of wasting even more ingredients on another recipe, I just went ahead and threw the last unused package away. | negative |
1 | The Best Tasting Cost Effective Cornbread Around Is From Bob's Red Miill | At under $3.00 for a 20 ounce bag you can't beat this product. It's gluten free, light and airy in texture and tastes terrific. As far as cornbread this is one of the best I've tried and folks I've tried a lot of cornbread mixes over the years. Bob's Red Mill is delivering a fresh and budget friendly product by way of Amazon and you'll be searching a long time trying to match it. | positive |
0 | It's ok | I just did not like the taste. I have used other GF corn bread mix that my family and I have enjoyed more. Wish I did not by a case. | negative |
1 | Really tasty | I don't have to eat gluten free, but I'm testing things for a friend's visit in a month. I wanted to try cornbread since it's an item I love. This cornbread is great. I prefer a more cake-like cornbread that isn't gritty and this one works for me very well.I didn't have the suggested "grey 9x9 pan" mentioned on the baking instructions and since I wasn't sure how important the pan was, I skipped my glass one and used two grey loaf pans. I just divided the batter and baked for about 30 minutes. It turned out nice and fluffy, moist and delicious. I like it with a smear of lowfat margarine, a drizzle of honey and a dash of cinnamon. It's like dessert. I've eaten it for breakfast and for snacking.It's a recipe that anybody can enjoy, even if one isn't on a restricted diet. Thanks, Bob's Red Mill. | positive |
1 | Red Mill Gluten Free Cornbread | This is a great product. I added hot peppers to half of the mixture. My husband really liked it with the peppers in it. I have also made this recipe as corn muffins and have frozen them that way.. They tasted just as good as the day I baked them. | positive |
1 | Good flavor | These need to cook a little longer than suggested. Do not make them too thick or the middle will not get done. A little dry, but a good sub for regular cornbread. I did freeze leftovers and they were okay. | positive |
1 | Yummy! | I had to make cornbread for my son's cubscouts banquet and we are now gluten free. I am not fond of cornbread usually but my son LOVES it. I found this gf cornbread mix and made it as cornbread muffins. Oh my goodness....they were BIG and fluffy and SO very good! I loved them. I never love cornbread, never. This is a first AND they are gluten free! I will be buying this mix again. It is better than non-gf cornbread if you ask me. My son LOVED it and my daughter liked it and she usually hates cornbread. I don't have to try to make my own recipe or find one to make, this is a keeper. I will buy it again. It's the best right out of the oven, but even as left overs it was good with some butter on it. YUMMY! | positive |
1 | An inspiring work | These are selections from the long record of Jewish heroism, selections of those whose names and stories are well- known from King David down to the rescuers of Entebbe. This is a very small selection of the many many Jews who often in a quiet and unknown way showed great courage in defending their own people. What is somewhat sad is that the ranks of these heroes , and often these martyrs , are growing all the time because of the constant effort of enemies to destroy the Jewish people. The stories of the great great majority of those who have fought with courage, defended their people and often paid the greatest price for it, are largely untold. | positive |
0 | Works OK | This Hayden fan control arrived in a nicely sealed package, missing the parts kit that was supposed to be included, and with the wrong instructions for this unit.Since I'm a "car guy", and an electronic engineer, I installed it with no real problems. Seems to work OK, would have been nice to have the parts kit and correct info/instructions.UPDATE: UNIT HAS FAILED AFTER THREE WEEKS USAGE ! | negative |
0 | Junk | Installed this controller. The first drive I took the relay started chattering like the others have described. I checked ground, power, coil voltage everything was normal until the relay started chattering.I ended up replacing the relay, and it acted normal for ONE day. Now the fans will not shut off. I've tried disconnecting the coolant sensor, tried a new relay these foolish fans will not shut off with the ignition on. | negative |
0 | Broke | I bought this fan control and installed it in my 98 pathfinder. I was doing a transmission flush at my shop so I had the car running but was not in it about ten days later. Once the trans flush was finished I shut the suv off and heard my coolant bubbling so I looked at the temperature and the suv was overheating. After about a half hour of screwing with the stupid hayden fan control I figured out that it was broke! Only ten days old! Now I am waiting on a replacement but it better last longer! IT ALMOST COST ME AN ENGINE! | negative |
0 | Worked, not so much now | So this worked for almost a year. Not so much now. There is nothing like being stranded because a manufacturer can't seal there electronics and there connectors rust. I pulled out the resistor and the connections where rusted. Cleaned the connections still won't work. | negative |
0 | Worked fine... for a while | I installed this to control a Hayden e-fan on my Ranger when the fan clutch gave out. It worked fine for quite a while, but one fine day I turned off the truck and took the key out... it kept running! As odd as this was, I popped the hood and found the culprit, it was this creature here! The relay or electronics contained within had fused and was backfeeding electricity into the vehicle. This caused the Engine Control Diode do melt and weld itself into my fuse panel. It didn't kill my truck, but it easily could have! | negative |
0 | Quality is terrible | The quality of these units is terrible. I have already replaced two of these in a matter of weeks. The first one just stopped working after a week and caused an overheat. The second one failed immediately. The fan came on and would never shut off. Nice concept, terrible quality in the build of these. What do you expect from China? | negative |
0 | Controller Dead | Installed as per instructions but no power to the fan in either regular mode or in AC override mode. Checked the voltage at the relay; less than 3 volts at terminal 86. And though it doesn't matter, terminals 30 and 87 were backwards (I.e. 87 was hot, 30 fed the fan.). Going back with a Derale controller. | negative |
0 | Piece of Junk | I bought this controller with high hopes. Sadly I was very disappointed, on the 4th trip out with the newly installed fans and controller, the controller died. Luckily I was not pulling anything with my truck or I would have over heated. And fortunately I had a mechanic at the campsite i was stuck in because I was 5 hours from home. He rigged the fans up to work on just the key switch. I will not buy Hayden again!! | negative |
1 | Great Purchase at Half the Price. | Very nice new product for half the price and fast shipping. exactly what i needed and easy to install and works great. I highly recomend AAAAA+++++++ | positive |
1 | Nice pack N Play | Nice size, but the two bassinets tend to lean to the center. My girls slept in it for a few weeks but now they want no parts of it. Hopefully they will eventually use the play yard. | positive |
1 | A must for twins | Fantastic! We even had our preemie twins sleep in one basinet together at the start. This is well worth paying more than the price of a single pack n play | positive |
1 | Does almost everything | We bought this for our new twin girls, thinking they would each have a bassinet. Turns out, at only 5.5lbs each, they share one side and we put clothes, blankets, diapers and such in the other side. So, it works out well.The only thing that I wish it did, is go flat accross with no divider, but at the high level, not on the bottom. So that the girls could play and stretch a bit and still be up a bit to make them easy to reach.Over all, it's great. It's also the only one I found that has the double bassinet, it will come in handy as they grow. | positive |
1 | Great for Twins | I was thrilled to find this product for twins. I had planned to buy it a Baby's R Us, but they were out of stock. Amazon had it cheaper and in stock. My twin granddaughters are not here yet, so I can't say much about how well it works, but it set up nicely and looks like it will be ideal for having them close by while they are little. | positive |
0 | Major Dangerous Flaw | This would otherwise be a great item, but the fact that the folding mattress caves in and does not lie flat under the bassinets makes for a potentially disastrous situation. With current knowledge of SIDS you'd think that Graco would be more aware of this. The babies can roll towards the middle because of this flaw and possibly suffocate. | negative |
0 | New Recipe is Awful | These used to be my favorite animal crackers but Austin has recently changed their recipe to a "new and improved" version and as a result, what was once a tasty snack now tastes like cardboard. The old version had a hint of lemon and the new version is completely tasteless and leaves a horrible after-taste in your mouth. Nice going Austin. Won't purchase again. Austin needs to take a lesson from previous companies that tried to change what was already good and go back to the original. | negative |
1 | bobby blue | AUSTIN ZOO ANIMAL CRACKERS ARE THE BEST! WITH ONLY TWO GRAMS OF FAT PER SERVING, I HAVE NO PROBLEMS KEEPING ON MY WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. THEY ARE DELICIOUS! I JUST CAN'T STOP EATING AT LEAST ONE BAG A DAY! | positive |
1 | Best tasting animal crackers | I bought a case of these for an animal-themed birthday party a few years ago, but have kept buying them since. At first I thought it made sense to keep buying animal cracker "cookies" since they are reasonably healthy for both mom (just 2 Weight Watchers points per serving!) and kids. But the brands at Safeway all tasted stale and artificial compared to the Austin. Since Safeway doesn't carry this brand, I just keep buying the cases at Amazon. Easy to toss a bag in with the sippy cup for snack time, or to keep a few bags stashed in the car. | positive |
1 | Worth the Wait | The fact that Kevon has spent many years performing prior to this debut release is evident from the first track. I fell for the title track long before the album was released, the real cut on the CD is #6 "Baby Come To Me". He could have varied his producers a little more, but when Babyface is in your direct bloodline.... Hey!!! I'd do the same!!! Great job, Kevon. I hope this will not be your first and last solo CD. | positive |
1 | Great CD, Wish I Could Say That about His New CD, Who Knew | This is one of my flav CD. Listening to it right now, just love it. His latest CD Who Knew, which left a lot to be desire. I think because BabyFace produced and did a lot of the writting on this CD, its just the best... I would buy this CD over Who Knew CD anyday of the week.. | positive |
1 | ROMANCE IS BACK!!! | If you like to FEEL your music then this is the must-have cd of the year, the pure emotion KEVON brings to these infectious melodies will stun you. This true gentleman shares musical clarity that is rare indead. My favorite cuts are NEVER LOVE YOU, TELL ME, ANYWAY & 24/7. KEVON's sweet tenor on BABY, COME TO ME will send chills down your spine....This is an ideal X-mas gift for lovers & real friends: so don't keep this superb production, lyrical genius & intense-yet-tender vocals to yourself....share it with everyone you treasure in your life. | positive |
0 | Very Boring | I Liked After7 and the Music was always going for The Soul.but this is nothing but Industry Factory Product.The Tired Slowed Down Take on the Overrated Timberland Beats.Kevon is a Better Talent than The Music he has to work with.How Many Folks Already Sound Like This? Enough all ready. | negative |
1 | Fantastic! | My transaction was perfect. I actually expected my cd to arrive later in the week, but in just days I visited my mailbox and I have not stopped playing my cd since. Thank You! Great Work! | positive |
1 | Great music! | I wish that there were more stars to give, this is the only cd that I permanently leave in my cd changer. I just think his voice is incredible and soothing. I listen to it SO much that this is my third copy I am purchasing. I have to get one for the car and one for the house. There is not one track that I don't love.Great from start to finish.What ever happened to him? I am fiending for some more of his beautiful music! | positive |
1 | Babyface isn't the only "Edmonds" family member who can sing | After 7 has been bringing the hits since I was in grade school. Who could forget "Can't Stop" or the classic slow jam "Ready Or Not". The Kevon Edmonds debut is long overdue. The album doesn't disappoint at all. Babyface even helps his brother with some writing and production. The best moments on this CD are hard to choose because every song is on point. The best songs are the current single, "24/7", "No Love", "A Girl Like You", "Love Will Be Waiting", and "Never Love You". Kevon Edmonds has a gem on his hands. Anyone who likes good r&b music should add "24/7" to their collection. | positive |
1 | I love this album! | I think that this album and artist were woefully overlooked. This album has it all, happiness, loneliness, hopefulness, and sexiness. It truly is a 'sleeper' album because it did not get the press that it deserved. This artist's vocal style is sexy and discernable (even though he is an older brother of Baby Face). As a former member of the defunct group After 7, you know that he has the ballads wrapped up for the romantics while the up beat songs catch you off guard with their production quality. Buy it, you will thoroughly enjoy it. | positive |
1 | This CD is excellent! | I have been a fan of Kevon Edmonds since his After 7 days but not even their best stuff compares to this CD! I love a CD filled with great singing, great song writing, and great ballads and Kevon hits the mark on all of these things. I enjoyed this CD from the first song to the last which, nowadays, is a rarity. If you just want a great CD by a great singer, by this one but if you need some "romantic" music to put your girl/gal in that special mood, this CD is a must! | positive |
1 | chic magnet | this cd is one of my favorite. 24/7 is the best jint on here. girls can't seem to get enough of that. i love it no doubt | positive |
1 | The Return of Smoooooooth.... | Just when you think you heard it all from the Edmonds family, Babyface's little brother takes it up a notch with an ultra-smooth array of melodious magic, lovingly wishful lyrics, and a brand of harmonious wonder that would make any person who has had love before want it all the more! After After7 did I wonder what musical contribution would Kevon endure. I can honestly tell you that this latest piece from Kevon is most deserving of admiration, sensual and loving respect of women and relationships everywhere!!! | positive |
1 | Truly Touching | This CD contains the best R&B slow jams ever. Kevon has a wonderfully soothing voice and truly croons the love songs that we all want to hear. Great for background music on a date! I love this CD! | positive |
1 | Awesome solo debut | Being a big fan of After 7, I knew that I would love Kevon Edmonds solo effort. Amazingly though, when I first got it, I didn't like it at all! After a couple of weeks though, I thought I'd give the cd another try and now I love the cd. Tracks 1-7 are off the hook and although in my opinion the album kinda drops after that, overall the album is a definite keeper. | positive |
1 | The Best R&B/Soul Album of all time :) | most of the R&B/Soul album only have 1 or 2 good song on them, but this album by Kevon Edmonds have 13 track, each track can be in the top 5 chart. it is really good.. it's worth buying | positive |
1 | An R&B Record for Grown Ups. | The r&b world might not have realized it, but it suffered a big loss when the vocal group After 7 broke up. They were the stellar r&b male vocal group Boyz II Men should have been, releasing albums of comtemporary, yet classic, soul that stood head and shoulders above much of their younger, MTV-friendly peers. Member Kevon Edmonds branches out into a solo career of his own, and pulls it off well with his debut. Impressively, the disc doesn't cower to trends or feature guest rappers. The spotlight belongs entirely to Edmonds, delivering suave mid-tempo grooves and tight ballads. "Never Love You" and "A Girl Like You" are pretty much standard Babyface fare, though Edmonds shines in "Love Will Be Waiting" and the title track. "24/7" is a fine album that manages to be old school without being old fashioned, and in the world of r&b, that's no mean feat. | positive |
0 | Disappointing | I was very disappointed with this CD. All of the songs sounded alike...it put me to sleep. I thought Kevon's voice sounded emotionless...like he was on anti-depressants. I thought there would be a wider variety of tempos on the CD like on the "After 7" CD's. | negative |
0 | Some Great Music, But Horrible Sound | This is a disgrace. A collection of many hip-hop greats doing some previously unreleased stuff (Ice-T, for one), and a fairly dope mix it is. However, the sound quality is absolutely dreadful, at times unlistenable. Some tracks sound actually warped (treble and bass fading up and down). K-Tel Records used to sound better than this!!What a shame! As well, some tracks are mislabeled (Ice-T does NOT appear on track 2, Coolio does!) and others are horribly butchered (Ice-T's "Play It On" with Smooth The Hustler is not only the WORST sounding track on the CD - shame, it's a fly track - but it's also censored to the point that nothing is understandable!!!). What a letdown. Put this stuff out correct!Until then: avoid, avoid, avoid. | negative |
1 | VISTA CX | Vista CX is a very good gps with many nice features. I rate it with 4 stars because it does not keep a good signal in deep woods. Other than that it is perfect. I sent it back for the Vista HCX. | positive |
1 | Great unit, within limitations | This is a great little unit, so long as one is aware of its limitations:First, it is designed to be used while held horizontally. That means it doesn't work well while hanging vertically on a belt clip. This probably won't matter, unless you want to record 'bread-crumb' tracks. The tracks recorded by this unit aren't terribly accurate, unless you hold it horizontally while you hike.Second, it's reception is only okay to good. It won't receive in heavy forest cover or in deep canyons. Basically, you have to get into a clearing to get a fix. And that also means that recorded tracks are likely to be incomplete.In short, it's a great unit for trail navigation or geocaching, so long as you can find a clearing. If you plan to record tracks, or if you need reception under more challenging conditions, you will need a more robust model, such as the GPSMAP 60Cx. | positive |
1 | A few words for cyclists | If you're a cyclist and you're buying this because you want the hiking functions as well as using it on your bicycle, then you need to read this:The "Bike Mount" that comes with the unit as advertised is only half of the actual part used to mount it on a set of handlebars. It is the slider part that bolts on to the battery cover. If you're looking into mounting it on your handlebars, you will need to buy the other half of the accessory, which costs around $11+. This is the actual handlebar clip. You can find the handlebar mount on the Garmin website, as well as all the mapping software in their online store.Other than that, I agree with most reviewers here, this unit is awesome. 4 stars because of the lack of mapping software included and the fact that the advertising was a little misleading (always a catch!). I really like this thing! | positive |
0 | Mac Users Beware | The Vista CX is a very nice GPS with great features EXCEPT the map software is not Mac OS compatable. You cannot upload maps or use any features which benfit from creation on computer based detailed maps. You can purchase the Garmin memory cards with map info and then establish waypoints etc., on the unit itself, but forget about the full functionality of planning, and mapping points and then uploading to the unit. The Garmin technical rep I talked with said Garmin is working on Mac compatability but would not indicate if this was one month, one year, or longer before reaching the market. The third party maps compatable with Macs I have found, so far, for planning trips, etc., such as National Geographic Maps, cannot be uploaded to the Garmin unit. | negative |
0 | Just Didn't Work | I purchased this for geocaching. When I tried connecting to a computer it just wouldn't work. Tried several machines. Same result. So I just sent it back to Amazon. I have experience with another Garmin unit and loved it so I'll try getting another model. Maybe this was just a lemon. | negative |
0 | Frustrating Item | The first Vista Cx I purchased died after only 3 days of use. I returned it to Amazon who immediately and painlessly replaced it. The second unit lasted for 4 days until I fell waist deep into a stream with the unit in my pocket. Though it was only submersed for a matter of seconds it immediately stopped working and water was seen internally around the screen. Garmin's claim of waterproofness for 1m for 10 minutes is utter baloney. The poorly designed T-style lock on the battery case cannot possibly assure water integrity from anything beyond high humidity. I probably wouldn't buy buy another Garmin but I'm stuck with them as I have already invested $200 in proprietary MapSource software. I guess that was their plan.On the plus side, the Vista Cx did seem to function as it should...for all of 7 days. | negative |
0 | fancy piece of junk | Ah yes you have read all the good reviews. This thing has everything, right? Barometric pressure, altitude, expansible memory card, color screen, USB connection, etc., etc.So what could possibly be wrong?Hhhmmm - how about the GPS - yes, this thing is supposed to be a GPS = Global POSITIONING System, with the emphasis on global here. Thing is: Satellite reception is simply just totally erratic. With my five year old Magellan I was almost always able to get a reading. This new fancy toy - forget it! Ah, sooo many satellites and then suddenly all gone - not even beneath any trees, right on top of the equator. And then try to re-locate. How a bout half an hour to find these pretty satellites again. Or maybe two hours. Yes, I can sit down outdoors and wait all day until my GPS graces me with re-initializing. Hard Reset - no problem, but does not really help.Buy it? Forget it!!!I wonder if the new HCx is any better, but this unit is everything but...certainly it is NOT a GPS! | negative |
0 | Geocacher | I purchased the Vista CX after wanting to upgrade from my Legend. The first out caching, the unit was very eradic and took me 400' feet from the cache. After calibrating the compass, I got within 80' feet. Second cache it got within 90' of it. Garmin CS said they never heard of this but the Vista I purchased two years did the same thing. They both were returned, needless to say. If you want a great no frills GPS, stick with the Legend. Most cachers with higher end Garmins fuss about the cords being off from lower end units. Garmin just can't see to make the expensive units with many features be accurate. The Vista line keeps building on a poor platform. I am waiting on my new Magellan Explorist 500 from Amazon. | negative |
0 | Average at Best | I ordered this radio based on the favorable reviews. Unfortunately, I am not very satisfied with the unit. AM reception as noted, is terrible, but even when you CAN get a station well, the sound is fuzzy and muffled. On FM, the stations are clear, but the sound is....OK. Not really the deal I was looking for, but the cabinet and radio are attractive. | negative |
0 | Performs well, but quality issue? | I am a semi-avid player; I play for an hour three times a week over lunch at work with a few competitive players. I have used Butterfly 3-star balls many times before without a problem (always supplied by one of the other players). It was my turn to get some balls so I bought the six pack via amazon. So far we have used 3 of the balls (the third only being put into play this week). The first two didn't last very long. Usually each of the balls last through 3-4 weeks of play before they crack or wear thin. The first two from the ones I bought never made it a week, one only making it one day. I suppose it could be a coincidence but their longevity has been a disappointment. Perhaps they were old or mis-stored. | negative |
0 | Dry rotted | I play a few times a week at college, I'll be honest we play pretty intense, but after around 3 hours of play time the balls crack along the seam, they work ok once cracked but after one good slam they crack to the point of being trashed. Once broke they break into pieces as if they were dry rotted, I've had far better experience with butterfly, maybe my order was just sitting In a warehouse too long. | negative |
0 | Breaking after one match | I bought this item with high expectation because it is from butterfly. But it was a huge disappointment. It is breaking after one or two matches. I would expect much more quality than this | negative |
1 | Excelente!! | Práctico el tenis de mesa en venezuela, para nadie es un secreto del elevado costo de esta marca aqui en mi pais. Fue una gran compra, pelotas 100% originales | positive |
1 | Best ping pong balls | They are a little expensive (compared to other brands) but worth every penny for their quality. I like them for their even bounceand durability. | positive |
0 | Not Comedy, Just Mockery | It's difficult to like a movie which spends all of its time mocking others. Latter-day scriptures decry the practice of mocking your fellow beings. On the other hand, maybe I'm naive to take the scriptures seriously. Or to actually try to live them. Why not be a little bit like the world? Why not compromise values?I think this movie could have been written by grade school kids; it takes no talent, character, or smarts to make fun of someone the way Will Swensen does. | negative |
0 | Moderately worth watching | I'm glad I got this from the library. If I would have paid a rental fee for this I would have been annoyed and if it would have plopped down $20 bucks to buy it I would be kicking myself.The movie is not awful, it is easily watchable and moderately entertaining for about thirty minutes or so but by the time it is finished you will be thankful.Most of the jokes fall flat and I don't think there is any part of the movie where you will laugh out loud; there are a few moderate chuckles but nothing more. Plus they regergetate some of the jokes over and over again, if I hear one more time "I would like to turn the time over to Brother...." that joke was moderately funy the first time.... by the 10th time it is not.Anyway, the film is much better and lot more enjoyable to watch than the horrible Hometeachers and the even worse Baptists at our Barbeque but not nearly as good as Singles Ward and RM.It might just be that the Mormon joke scene is getting a little old! | negative |
1 | You either get it, or you don't. | This movie is hilarious. I'm from California, but lived in Provo while at BYU, so maybe spending time there, and being a Mormon, I am able to 'get' more of the jokes than someone without those experiences...I could see how somebody (my neighbor and my mom to name couple) would just watch it with a blank stare though. This definitely caters to a specific audience. You also need to 'get' the kind of humor in shows like "The Office"...if you like that show, and you're LDS or familiar with Mormon culture (especially the Utah valley sub-culture), then you'll laugh at least a few times watching this.I definitely fit into the audience the writers had in mind. I laugh longer and louder each time I watch it! | positive |
1 | An LDS version of The Office... with a Weird Al twist | If you like the Office, BBC or NBC, and you have any knowledge of LDS culture, than you will enjoy this movie. The mocumentary follows the boys as they try and create a "boy band" in Provo, Utah while singing "hip" songs about different LDS idiosyncrasies. The song's include: Everclean, Word Of Wizzum, Love Me, But Don't Show Me, Diddly Wack Mack Mormon Daddy, Wait For Me, Spiritchal As Me, Sweet Spirit (a ballad), Nourish And Strengthen Our Bodies & Do Us The Good That We Need, Dang, Fetch, Oh, My Heck and Beautiful Inside. If you know something about LDS culture, just the song titles are enough to induce giggling. The titles do not do the lyrics and the performances justice. There were several fall out of your chair moments. If you have a funny bone, this movie is worth the investment. | positive |
1 | Awkward moments = pretty funny | This is a pretty good mockumentary following the hit Mormon boy band Everclean. The awkward/funny moments abound in this glimpse into the shallow world of the members of this boy band. For fans of Kirby Heyborn and Will Swenson this is probably a must-see. The original songs are quite listenable with witty lyrics. | positive |
0 | not as helpful as I hoped | If you're taking mechanical vibrations, I recommend getting out your advanced math, DE and University Physics books for help. I have all 3 of these from schaum's and found them to be WAY more help than this review guide. | negative |
1 | Vibration of materials. | Schaum's Outline of Mechanical Vibrations.A great reference and refresher manual with loads of examples and an easy to read format. All I need now is spare time to really make it work. | positive |
0 | Mechanical Vibrations | In general this is a helpful book, but there are some really weird ideas put forth. For example 1.24 includes some extra terms using ms that defy the imagination. These same terms are completely omitted in 1.25 and 1.30 which are nearly identical problems. Either Kelly has entered a new dimension or the problem 1.24 is totally incorrect. Moreover, I can not for the life of me understand why you would have figure 1-31 go with problem 1.25. These inconsistent references are found through out the book leaving the reader with a headache. When authors gloss over explanations i feel they either don't understand what they are writing about or are so arrogant they can't communicate their ideas effectively. In any event save yourself 12 dollars by not purchasing this book, but it does have some good examples.... | negative |
1 | Schaum's Outline Series are good! | I raise a hand of praise to these books in general. But, when it comes to Mechanical Vibrations, this guide falls short in some places. While the problems you must solve are of great help, some of the calculated problems and discussions are somewhat misleading (especially if you're rusty on your matrices). | positive |
1 | Absolutely Beautiful | I absolutely love my new Cristal D'Argues Longchamp sugar and creamer. They match my other Longchamp pieces exactly. They are exquisitely crafted and shine beautifully. I am very pleased with my purchase. | positive |
1 | excellent film | I was very impressed - Ranbir Kapoor and Pryanka Chopra hit it out of the park. Yes, it is true that they borrowed some classic Chaplin (as well as Donald O'Connor), but it is beautifully done, and more of a nod in honor of rather than theft. This isn't a typical Bollywood song and dance - it's a lovely story - with extraordinary and truthful performances. I would recommend it to anybody. | positive |
