Good read
I bought this book so I could have an insight into the mind a if a woman whose husband is having an affair. I am the other woman. This was helpful for me. E-book was nice to have on the go. Smooth transaction. Highly recommended.

Not as good as other books
I read this book because of the title, but found it to be less that other books regarding affairs that I had read. The book is written from the betrayed wife's pespective, and tends to monologue to much and has a lot of religious basis. The fact that she was so out of touch with her daughter and the suicide attempts, confirmed for me that she must have also been very much out of touch with her Husband. I was the betrayed partner and found little refuge in this book.If you are religious this may be a good read, however having grown up in Church myself I found that many of the actions of the wife were not those someone with a strong religious commitment would do.

Total fiction
The last thing I needed was to hear this fictionalized version of another couples horrendous affair. Other self-help books offer insight and advice. This book is 330 pages of whining, crying, and (unwanted) details about the author's husband's affair. I am living it - I did not want to read about it too!

A Great Summer Or Holiday Read As You Can't Put It Down!
This book is an example in which truth is far more interesting than fiction. It is a must read for anyone who is considering an affair, currently in an affair or living with the pain caused by an affair. Anne and her family give the reader the unique opportunity to witness the rollercoaster of emotions from three different perspectives (wife, husband and child) and will leave the reader with realistic hope. The best part? You won't be able to put it down!- Kelly Nault, Author of "When You're About To Go Off The Deep End, Don't Take Your Kids With You" and Founder of MommyMoments.Com

Wow, this is crap.
This is one of the worst of the cookie-cutter metalcore bands that surfaced after the explosion of the genre's popularity. Boring and simple riffing, totally predictable song structures, breakdowns thrown in for the hell of it, and horrid vocals both clean and screaming. Everything is lacking. This is even worse than Atreyu in some ways, and that's pretty sad. I mean seriously, metalcore is one of the easiest genres to master, and this is a sad excuse for a metalcore album. If you simply MUST listen to some Metalcore, go for All That Remains, Still Remains, Neaera, Killswitch Engage, Diecast, Anterior, Dead to Fall, or any of the dozens of these types of bands that do it better on all levels.

The Fararrs Are Recycling Information - Very Disappointing
If you are like most Pagans, you have probably read earlier books by Janet and Stewart. This book was a thorough disappointment. I know that they can do better - we in the Pagan community have all have seen them do better. Now it seems that with this book they have just run out of steam. I have most of their books, the "Witche's Bible Compleat", "The Witch's Goddess" and the "Witch's God", "Eight Sabbats for Witches" along with "What Witches Do". These books are all informative and passionate about the Craft in their portrayal of pertinent information, etc. My question is: 'just *what* did these Witches actually **DO** when putting this book together - other than to regurgitate earlier information from the aforementioned books?" After reading this book one can only come to the ineveitable conclusion that they certainly did not actually *do* much at all for the writing of this book.

Lost in Chapter 5
I bought this book with a great enthusiasm and hope to learn something about filter banks. Soon after I started to read it I figured that the book has a great deal of inconsistencies. To begin with the notation is awkward, and the dimensions of the vectors and matrices are often infinite! Clearly implying that the authors are not very practical after all... Chapter 4 on filter banks is more or less OK, with mentioning of many types and choices for filter designs but nothing deep and concrete (In Page 121 I couldn't find the reference "[VK]"). Chapter 5 is a disaster: Title of Section 5.2 should be "Orthogonal" instead of "Orthonormal", Page 148 says "presented below" but there are nothing "below", other mathematical proofs are sloppy and invalid. I recommend people interested in filter banks to read Vaidyanathan's book instead.

FDA has banned products with Quinine
Frankly,I am very surprised to still see this being sold on Amazon. The FDA issued a notice in 2006 to stop using Quinine for off-label uses due to the risk of heart related complications.In fact, the FDA issued an updated notice in 2010, which addresses the use for leg cramps, quote:"Qualaquin should not be used for night time leg cramps. Qualaquin use may result in serious and life-threatening hematological reactions, including serious bleeding due to thrombocytopenia, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome/ thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which in some cases may result in permanent kidney damage. In some patients, adverse reactions result in hospitalization and death."source: [...]I am not a doctor, and cannot comment on the science behind the FDA's recommendation.

Nocturnal leg cramps
I don't think I could tolerate the pain of night time leg cramps without this medicine to ward them off and to give me some relief. I placed my order on Amazon because they offered them at the best price on the internet. The pills came within three days, and were the same as I've bought at my local pharmacy, just less expensively. I highly recommend this seller, and the items are priced less through Amazon than dealing directly with the vendor. I am very pleased now that I have a ready supply of leg cramp pills.

Good idea, but...
The web interface is awkward. It took me several hours to set up the remote, and not all of the componenets I have are supported. It is possible to "train" the new remote to learn the commands of an unsupported remote; however, I was not able to do so successfully.

So much for "remote control"
With four different remotes, I was looking for something that would control everything. I "programmed" four different devices to begin with. You use Harmony's website and walk through a wizard to set things up. But once you're done with the wizard, you cannot go back and go through the wizard again. The website is also cumbersome to navigate through and make any adjustments.Unfortunately, two devices failed to work properly. The satellite TV unit did not respond at all and the Sony system I own was always off by one function.I am returning the unit. For the price, I don't think only controlling half is worth it.

Great place to start if you're THINKING of getting into HAM radio.
There's really not too much to say about this book. The "Dummies" series of books are a great place to start with pretty much any subject, and for a lot of people, will have all the information you might need. If you're thinking of getting into HAM radio, this is a good source to learn some of the basics, and I'd recommend reading it BEFORE you actually buy anything, so you know the basics of what you're getting into. Above that, it covers all the basics well enough that you might not need anything more advance for a long time, if ever.

Ham Radio For Dummies
I purchased this book to help in my preparation for my Ham Radio license exam. Although specific exam questions were not covered in this book, all aspects to obtaining your license and use of your radio afterwards were covered in detail. Topics such as assignment of call signs, antennae design, different frequency bands available and which licensed users could use them, types of radios, etc, were discussed. The writers also provide information about how to set up and operate your first radio, how to establish your first contact and what type of discussion would be appropriate.This book is very organized and well written; the topics flow in a logical pattern, keeping one's interest. I read this book in two setting and found it to be enjoyable and rewarding. I would recommend this book to a novice who is curious about ham radios and considering pursuing a ham license.

Covers more areas than I knew existed. Ham radios were never really something I was interested in until i got one as a Christmas gift and now I can certainly see a value of owning and knowing how to operate it in the event of an emergency. I'm also surprised how many people are out there to talk to! It's a quick read, not very technical so definitely worth the purchase price.

Not much of a "Reference"
This book has no questions and answers for the FCC test. It only answers the most basic of newbie questions, and certainly is NOT a "Reference for the Rest of Us" as many of the "Dummies" books can be. I would not recommend this book for anyone except the least literate and most technically-challenged among us...not exactly what Ham Radio really needs to have as members. I wish I hadn't bought it.

Terrific reference
Ward Silver's "Dummies" book is terrific for beginners and experienced hams alike. It's not about the technical details of the hobby, really, but about how to get into ham radio and most of operating basics. I was licensed many years ago, but after a few years of operating, went into "hibernation" for about 20 years before rediscovering ham radio. This book has helped me catch up on all of the advances made in the last two decades. What's really helpful are all the references to other sources (such as websites) that take you deeper into the hobby. An outstanding addition to my "ham shack"!

I have been a licenced ham radio operater for three years. HRFD has helped me discover a lot of the tricks that it took Ward Silver thirty + years to learn. It is easy to understand and fun to study.

An excellent book for better understanding of John's Gospel
I have just read this book for the third time, this time one chapter in depth at a time. The format is especially helpful for study, and the meaning of John's beautiful Gospel is more real to me than ever before. The prayers at the end of each chapter as well as the "Questions for Reflec- tion add to the beauty and understanding of this spiritual Gospel. The author's love for his sub- ject and his joy in writing of it is very obvious. An excellent book for personal study as well as group study. I recommend it without reservation for all.

A beautifully written spiritual study of John's gospel.
Dr. Setzer's book is beautifully written in very modern language which I think will be well-received and enjoyed by both young and old.It is organized in such a way that it will be very help- ful for group discussions and spiritual formation. His "trailmarkers", which are short inserts between section of the book, are new to me and lead one into the next chapters in a unique way. This is an inspiring picture of who Jesus is as written by the most spiritual of the writers of the four gospels. Its deep influence on the auth- or's spiritual development is outlined in the most personal and revealing prose. A great book!

This is the original 1966 English version!
I don't know why Amazon is crediting Paul Dobson & Kathleen Barr in this listing (perhaps something got switched? many versions available), but this particular series of VHS tapes from RTS (The Right Stuff International) studios, is the only series that I've found so far that contains the original, uncut 1966 English version of "Kimba the White Lion" featuring Billie Lou Watt as "Kimba", the music of Isao Tomita, and a male vocal theme song (with female chorus): "Kimba (8x) - who's the King of deepest darkest Africa . . ." All other releases so far have totally different voices, music, and theme songs. I am very, very happy with these VHS & DVD releases - they are just as I remember them.

Could be good for larger door knobs but in most cases children pull on the cover and it comes off to enter a room. Poor design and quality for kids who can reach a door knob. Don't bother with this product.

Too big for smaller doorknobs
This product works but it is cheap plastic and won't last long and if you don't have large doorknobs the product is much too big. The package says it should spin freely on the knob but on our doorknobs it sags too. This would be fine for larger knobs, though only if there is adequate supervision as well, because I think a determined child could break the plastic given a bit of time.

A user friendly fun guide to improving leadership skills
This book is a practical and fun way to learn how to be a more effective leader. As a small business owner, I found the book particularly helpful because it made me question some of the management principles I used to believe in. For instance, I learned the value of trusting my employees--a concept that was initially foreign to me. Once I learned that most people want to do the right thing, I stopped micromanaging and it improved our firm's performance as well as my relationships with my employees. This book is also very engaging and fun to read--not some management text that will make your eyes glaze over. I highly recommend this book!

Substance, Not Fluff
Finally! I have a business newsletter, and I make book recommendations to my subscribers monthly. But I almost never find a leadership book out there worth recommending. Why? Because they're all full of cliches and blather, and they recycle the same platitudes that have by now lost all meaning. But in this book, Rinke takes on all that nonsense and provides the kind of direct, contrarian wisdom that cuts to the heart of leadership in today's marketplace. The chapters are well organized, with easy to review action steps, and it's full of eye opening nuggets like, "mission statements do not work!," and "don't prove yourself." I highly recommend the book for any exeutive or aspiring leader, and will recommend it to my clients.

Phishing scams are not going away anytime soon, and Vines does a great job of teaching the reader what to look for to avoid becoming a victim and providing information that is current and real-world.

new versions, years later by original artists
It says in small print on the CD box "New sterio recordings by the original artists."For practical purposes its a ripoff. But the one song I wanted on here, Moonlight Feels Right, was original, I think, or else it sounded close. But the rest of them sucked, although I think they are by the original artists.

um, not funny
In case you've never heard of or seen this book, it's a compendium of bizarre and supposedly humorous ways that people have died. The book's cover is morbidly black, and the title has an exclamation mark after it. Aficionados of the Darwin Awards will be upset: almost all of the deaths in this book are rather tame, and not more than a handful are funny enough to justify the disrespect for the dead that their inclusion in this book implies. Overall, it simply isn't that funny, and I don't recommend it to anyone.

below average
A friend of mine let me borrow this CD after constantly praising it as the best album he heard in a while. I gave it about 6 spins before deciding that it was pretty much the same generic stuff many other bands make (except they all do it much better). If your a long time fan or something you'll probably find something to like, but if otherwise you should definitely pass.On a side note, whats with this band trying to become famous after punching Glenn Danzig? I guess you gotta do whatever you can to get your name out there when your albums are weak.

X-Men: Evolution; season 2, volume 3
As I've said in my other reviews for this show, X-Men: Evolution is not the best kids' show out there, but it's got some good qualities. My favorite element in the series is the Kurt/Nightcrawler character; I also like the high school setting and the anime style of the drawings, as well as the different scenarios the writers come up with.I particularly like the first episode on this disc, since it's really neat seeing Lance join the X-Men for a while. It's just a shame that he was treated unfairly and decided to leave again at the end. The second episode, where the mutant girls go all feminist and start a vigilante group, is a bit silly, but it's also cool seeing them in different clothes and all kicking butt together with no guys around for a change. The other two episodes are just average.

This item worked great for about 6 months. Then while driving in cold weather one of the clamps broke on the cooler. Unbeknownst to me the transmission fluid seeped out and my car stuttered to a stop. I repaired it and refilled the fluid, and the car worked for about 200 miles then the transmission completely stopped working.I would either recommend a better kit, or simply buy higher quality clamps. I have replaced the transmission but I now use two better quality clamps on each fitting instead of one cheap chinese clamp like in this kit.Don't skimp on a kit like this when your transmission is at stake.

Save money - get a copy of the Constitution and read instead
Save your money and get a copy of the Constitution for the United States. There is nothing new in this book for anyone who has spent a little time studying the Constitution. The book would benefit from greater inclusion of historical and factual information. Some of the discussions on various sections and amendments are abrupt and lack definitive supporting documentation. For a book on the Constitution, the list of readings at the end should be more inclusive of the major writings from the 18th and early 19th centuries.On another note, the construction of the book was poor. A number of pages in my copy were loose and close to falling out.

Michael Badnarik's "Good To Be King" emphasizes the importance of the Constitution, the foundation of our freedoms, in a strict, limited interpretation, as our Founding Fathers intended for it to be read.

Michael Badnarik does a great job of explaining the US Constitution in terms anyone can understand. In fact, in his book as well as his 8-hour class, he teaches the constitution in a way that no one else does, or would dare to.How well do you know and understand the Constitution? Do you know when it was ratified? Did you know that the Bill of Rights has a preable? Do you know what Common Law is? Read this book!!!You will be shocked and amazed, and enlightened. After reading his book, you will know more about the Constitution than most of your elected officials!

I have had the opportunity to meet Michael on several occasions and I can say firsthand he is passionate and dedicated to the cause of liberty.

"The Man From Monterey" (1933) remains a deadly dull John Wayne vehicle, with unfunny comic relief and precious little action. Still learning the ropes, a youthful Duke proves he's no Errol Flynn in a poorly staged sword fight. Easily the worst of Wayne's six Westerns for Warner/Vitagraph.

With so many to choose from, this product is becoming harder to find at the store. Ordering it here was the easiest and fastest way to get it. Love this product!

Shelf-life is good, so buy it by the case and you won't have to worry about running out. Can't go a day without my mocha-cap fix! On a hot day I add nonfat chocolate ice cream and I'm in Heaven!

Too cinematic for my tastes
The game felt too much like a movie to be truly entertaining as a game. They included an actual actor and modeled everything about the main character after him. For a video game, that's wrong.My other complaint is that it's unreasonably difficult. Before you accuse me of being a coward let me inform you: I've played games like Ninja Gaiden and Demon's Souls (infamously difficult games) and loved them. This one was just...no. It didn't feel like a Spy Hunter game, either. I liked the idea of playing as the agent himself, but it focuses too much on the Rock and not enough on the Interceptor. Furthermore, the Interceptor is horrible compared to its predecessors. Its guns are inaccurate, slow, and don't respond well, and it blows up after being shot thrice.If you're a fan of Spy Hunter and Spy Hunter 2, I would NOT recommend this game on any measure of the mind. If you're only in it for the Rock, have fun.

Bad controls, blocky characters, poor driving. Even having "the rock" in the game can't save it.Hate to say it, but don't waste your time. Spy Hunter II was better than this one, and that is a real insult to this one...

Go Together - great duets for bass and piano
To those of you who know Carla Bley and Steve Swallow from their great previous duet alboum "Duets" this alboum will not be a surprise. Great cooperation between two great musicians who surly had fun creating and playing this staff together.one more tip : this alboums as well as "Duets" is a great alboum for people who know only popular music and want to be exposed to some more sophisticated kind of music. Listen to this alboum. you will not regret!

it IS an encyclopedia
Well. i should have read the description better. it IS an encyclopedia. Alphabetically about everything surf related from a to z. Small letters, and almost no pictures. I havent bothered reading much in it because of that..Buy surfing illustrated instead!

Really IS and Encyclopedia
For the record, let me state that I've been surfing for 20 years and got the bug, along with most others my age, watching The Endless Summer and getting captivated by the energy and beauty of the sport. This compilation, while very complete, really IS an encyclopedia...page, after page, after page. There are some useful tidbits of information strewn among the lengthy volume but a large majority of the book seems filled with fairly uninteresting, small, black and white photos, and biographies of just about anyone in the world who ever attempted to stand up on a board. Avoid this snore-fest and put your money into a nice hardcover coffee table book filled with glorious color shots of the world's tube riders...and leave all of the trivia to the wannabes.

Loaded with info!
I bought this for my eight-year-old son. He has gotten into surfing recently and can't stop talking about it. He is just getting better at reading, and although this book has a lot to read (which is a plus for those wanting to look up anything about surfing), he is more willing to practice reading when it comes to a subject of interest, so he'll open it up and look up whatever questions pops up in his mind about surfing. Great book!

Don't leave home without it!
This is an amazing read for anyone interested in surfing history and culture. As a surf writer I couldn't do without it! As a fan of surfing, it's a Bible of information. Love it!

A clear Introduction
This is a very good introduction to the area of subpersonalities including the major contributors, history of the theory beginning with Freud's id, ego, superego, finding your own subs and learning how to work with them toward intergration, or what Jung called Wholeness.Once you see how close other theories are to this, you find ourself asking, why didi't anyone teach me this before--it maks so much sence! Synonyms for subpersonalities include: complexes, archytypes,dream figures, imagoes, disempowered selves, shadows, sub-personalities, ego states, mood states and more.John L author of Reading Thomas Merton

Bring back the Original
I also want to add a plea to bring back the original. Songs are great, performances on this album fall well short of doing the songs justice.

"Old Friend"--what a song!
My favorite recording is Anne Hampton Callaway on "Sibling Revelry" followed by Michael Feinstein on "Live at the Algonquin." Unfortunately, I'm not wild about this cast. I'd love to hear the original if it ever comes back in print.

What a disappointment!
I saw this fantastic play in Los Angeles around 1985, purchased the tape and wore it out! Fabulous music. Unfortunately, this CD changes the wonderful lyrical memories with its offbeat cadence and intermittent dialog. It is only remotely similar to the play I attended. Two stars because it brought back memories, otherwise ONE star!

It's not Gretchen Cryer
If you have the Gretchen Cryer vinyl and love it, don't buy this. You will be disappointed. Lacks the energy and richness that Cryer's voice has. 'Dear Tom' is not a song that should be sung at the top of one's lungs. And, 'Strong Woman Number' should have at least a little defiance.

I'm getting my act together and taking it on the road
I spent my last 15 years looking for this tape andfinally located it. Unfortunately I was so disappointed.The singers didn't have any of the emotional impact ofthe original cast. Their voices weren't powerful andthey ruined the songs for me. Please try to bringback the original recording with Gretchen Cryer. I sawthe performance at Circle in the Square in the 70's, andto this day I still remember how powerful the play andthe songs were.

Cryer-ing for the Original
After unsuccessfully locating the original of this wonderful show, I had to settle for this import. And settle I have - Oh where oh where is the original cast recording when you need it? For anyone who had seen this on Broadway, this is a real disappointment. I wanted so much to love it as much as the worn out vinyl copy.

Bummer
Normally I don't take the trouble to reveiw anything; but I want to add my voice to the disappointed voices of the other reviewers: This album is worse than nothing. This CD knocked the edge off of the great memories I had from my departed original cast tape and the actual performance I saw. I wanted to take a bath after I heard it for the once and only time.

Lacks the edge of the Original Off-Broadway album.
The London cast album of "I'm Getting My Act Together..." simply lacks the poignant punch of the Gretchen Cryer original from Columbia Records. Gretchen MADE the show, as it was coming from her own personal experiences. The singer on the London CD just doesn't ring true.

not bad for the price...
good for what i use it for, npr. tuner is clear and smooth to use. it could be smaller, but for the price i guess its fine. its about the size of a large pager. the headphones are junk as expected, but the sound is fine with other headphones. in the price range the competition is cheap badly designed no name junk.

blade broken
a blade was broken. not worth the extra money to send it back. it would start fast and the broken blade would make a lot of noise. as the fan slowed down it sounded quiet. if you get a good fan i'm sure it work very quietly.
