0 | Poor Quality; Waste of my time | Thank goodness I was refunded the full amount for this. On the second use, the wheel support broke, causing the wheel to collapse. I ended up having to carry the whole thing with my groceries inside. Even before that happened, it was not easy to maneuver. | negative |
0 | DONT BUY | This product is junk. I got it for a cruise to take some carry on beverages and snack. I purchased the items and had a few thing in the bag and the base broke.... less than 3lbs worth the goods.... so we fixed that.... then the wheel broke off two minutes later. This item is trash. I hope to get some sort of money back. | negative |
0 | Horrible and Worthless Junk | Don't buy these generic and uncompatible graphics. Because most of the images are Windows Metafiles, they are incompatible with a lot of design software. I was never actually able to encompass any of the art into my websites for this reasons. Also, most of the clipart was pure junk. Then when I tried to uninstall the software, I couldn't. Don't pay $.01 for ClickArt. | negative |
1 | a must have for every level cook | From beginners to advanced cooks, this is a must have for everyone wanting to cook Mexican dishes. Marge Poore writes to teach and in such a way that i didn't want to put the book down. I wanted to keep reading the cook book! I do however, recommend buying this in hard cover, not on kindle, which is difficult to skip to sections and recipes. I am, therefore, making the extra purchase to get the paper copy. | positive |
0 | More American than Mexican | Not much different in this collection of recipes from our major American cookbooks. It seems very much like American recipes labelled as Mexican ones.This cookbooks does not do a satisfactory job in the description and use of traditional Mexican flavors, chiles, chocolate, cinnamon, or of traditional native foods, such as avocadoes, pumpkins, turkeys, tropical fruits. | negative |
0 | No cumin, please!!! | It's a very common misconception that cumin is a spice used a lot in Mexican food. That is not the case; only in certain recipes cumin is used, and they are a minority. Probably Americans have confused the spices from Mexican and Asian cooking. Practically every recipe in this book asks for cumin. I'm shocked. | negative |
1 | Another Hit | yet another great novel from margaret peterson haddix! ALL of her books are great. I've read the Shadow Children series, Running Out of Time, and Turnabout, and they're all very good. Her stories are all very thought-provoking and are so twisted and yet, based on so much truth that the events seem very possible to happen in the future. i can't wait until Among the Brave comes out in May, the sequel to among the barons. | positive |
1 | among the barons | i thought this book was good its about luke garner and he took over lee grants name and he had met lees little brother smits and they lee and smits always hung out and smits was so sad. | positive |
1 | Among the Barons | Among the Barons didn't disappoint me. It was one of the best in the Shadow Children series. It was so much more suspenseful and especially the ending was gripping. There was more danger and action. I didn't like Smits though, he was too whiny. The barons make me angry because people are starving and they just throw their extra food away! Most of the book was really good though! I really liked it and I plan to read the other books in the series. | positive |
0 | Not Availible in the USA | I am complaining due to the fact that I own the 1st 3 books in the series. I love the series so far. Today however, I went to purchase Among the BArons kindle edition and I learned that this bookis not availible in the USA. I think that it is extrememly unsatistfying to have all the books availible for the kindle except the middle book of the series. I am not a happy customer! | negative |
1 | Danny's review | I liked this book because I like mystery. You really didn't know what was going to happened next. You didn't know what was the truth and what was a lie. This is now one of my favorite books.This book is about a boy named Luke who is an illegal third child. So he had to go to a boarding school. He had to get a new identity. So he did and his new name was Lee Grant. The Grants were one of richest and most powerful family. In the middle of the story this boy named Smits Grant comes to this school. He is the real Lee Grant's brother.The shocking truth was that the real Lee was dead and Smits missed him. In the middle of the night there is a fire in Smits's room. When Luke was in Smits room after the fire Luke found two fake IDs.A reader who would like this book would be a person who likes mystery books. I think a mystery person would like this because it definitely has mystery in it. So if you want know who started the fire? Or why there were fake IDs in Smits's bed? Read this book! | positive |
1 | A Book That You Won't Want To Put Down | Margaret Peterson Haddix's book Among the Barons is simply amazing! Being the 4th book in the series about "shadow children" it keeps you guessing till the very end. Believe me, once you pick up this book you won't wan't to put it down. Haddix's writing makes you feel like you're actually in the story! All in all this book is a have to read , never wan't to put down book! | positive |
1 | Among the Barons | Among the Barons was a truly amazing book. I couldn't stop reading it! Luke Garner is an illegal third child that lives in the future. He got a fake ID card and now is going to public school! When his supposedly younger brother comes to his school Luke gets freaked out... why would his `brother' come here anyway? At age thirteen, Luke has to figure this out while not letting it show to his friends. Among the Barons is the fourth book in the sequence about illegal third children. This book will take you on a thrilling ride you won't want to miss!Corine, age 11 | positive |
0 | I had the misfortune of listening to this | All I can say about this band is that it's terrible. Whiny girl vocals, singing badly about something or the other. Terrible music. TERRIBLE. | negative |
0 | No observed effect | As a result of an opereation I had in my early 20s, I've had digestive problems for over 30 years. I was hoping that this product would improve my digestion, but alas it did not. I used all 30 tablets, but was unable to detect any effect of any kind. I would have given it only one star, but since it didn't hurt me, I decided to give it two. | negative |
0 | Works differently on everyone | After using this product for five days I ended up with diarrhea. I continued the product the next two weeks and found it made me very constipated.I'm glad this product helps alot of people, unfortunately for me it wasn't a positive experience. | negative |
0 | difference | used sustenex for over a month now. I feel no different than I did the first day. This, for me, was a waste of money. | negative |
1 | It really works | Sustenex is the latest in several probiotics I've tried over the years...but it's the first that seems to really work. The "You" docs recommended this so I decided to give it a try for my irratible bowel syndrome....things are moving along well....which is unusual for me. I am very glad to have come across this productVJS RN | positive |
1 | inexpensive and effective | I took this product after an extended treatment with antibiotics, and I think the quality and efficacy of the product is excellent. And best of all: the price. They are inexpsensive and widely available. Highly recommended. | positive |
1 | Sustenex saved me... | I've been taking sustenex for 2 years (since July 2008) and I will be on Sustenex for the rest of my life. It has made me whole again after years of intestinal/digestive issues that were beginning to ruin my life. I love this product. | positive |
0 | Sadly we were another "miss" in the Probiotic hit-or-miss | My husband has a very sensitive stomach, and has had digestive issues most of his life, so when I saw the chance to try this out I thought maybe it would be helpful for him. He dislikes many of the dairy products that contain probiotics (yogurt, cottage cheese and string cheese to name a few) so this seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to try probiotics.Unfortunately, he hasn't noticed any change in his digestive health or sensitivities to foods. He still reported the same heartburn and upset stomachs as before. I don't think we'll bother with probiotics for him again. | negative |
0 | Not for everyone | I am a seventy eight year old white female, and consider myself to be in good health. I do have to watch my BP but can control it with my diet. My daughter heard about this wonderful probiotic medicine at work and thought it was just what she and "ole Mom" needed to try. She immediately purchased a box for herself and one for "ole Mom". She is very happy with the product. My reaction was different. Daughter says give it a few days and it will "kick in". And it did; from the top of my head down thru chest, stomach, and on south. My walking machine was history for several weeks.I only took the "product" for a short time but recovery time is taking awhile. | negative |
0 | Upset stomach | It was on a whim that I decided to try Sustenex. Oh boy, my muse was off duty that day.I tried Sustenex for two weeks or so and I'm sorry to report I had to stop using it. My constitution did not respond well. Lots of gas, upset stomach, acid reflux, and so on--these were a few of the problems I ran into, dead center.I eat quite a bit of fiber, as I read one does need to do that with probiotics. It didn't seem to help. I'm glad it worked for others, but I'm staying away from Sustenex. | negative |
0 | This product should be banned from the market | This product should be banned from the market. I took this product for the first time and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My blood pressure went sky high, I was dizzy, a bad headache came on and I had to vomit. I now have to write to the company and try to get my money back somehow. | negative |
0 | No difference... yogurt or nothing at all | I've eaten yogurt and cottage cheese made with probiotics, so when Amazon Vine offered a sample to try -- I signed up. I was interested in seeing how the pill would work in comparison since it means no extra calories when you're not in the mood for yogurt or cottage cheese (some of the probiotic yogurt products taste terrible, but Dannon Activia vanilla is tasty).Sadly, I didn't experience anything different. Based on research, it sounds like probiotics are hit or miss. They work great for some and don't for others.For those who do benefit from probiotics -- the pill form has an advantage over yogurt in that it has more probiotics (how much should we even have?), does not require refrigeration, 0 calories, and cheaper. Amazon sells a 30 day supply for $14.99. Comparable pricing for yogurt depends on your geographical location and store. It's about $3.85 for four days' worth of yogurt. The pills are easily cheaper. | negative |
0 | BAD | I switched to this product since it was 1/2 the price of Align. Big mistake! Didn't work and made problems worse. I'm back on Align and bloating is gone again. Align is the only pro-biotic that has worked for me and I have tried 10+ brands over 10 years. | negative |
0 | Didn't Do a Thing For Me | Took these for a month, no effect whatsoever.Only thing that works for me is Miralax, app. three times a week. Check wih your doctor, but my gastro-enterologist says it's safe. "Liquid fiber" he calls it. | negative |
1 | works | This a good product. It helps with intestinal dysbiosis. I needed to take 4 tablets twice daily to take effect initially. I had tried many other probiotics including Dr. Ohirra's 12 which i needed to take 20 pills a day for similar effect. The acid resistant shell really helps. It gave me a lot of bad gas at first which my wife didn't appreciate. The makers of the product say that means the probiotic is colonizing and kicking out the bad guys. Have a good day I rate this four stars because i have to take a lot of it.I wish they would make capsules a lot strongeer with at least 10 billion units | positive |
1 | Great price! | This is a great product and with super saver shipping and Amazon's great prices it is cheaper than any store! | positive |
0 | Did not notice anything | I took these for a couple weeks and did not notice anything. I even tried 2 a day. I switched to a multi-strain brand Sedona Labs iFlora Multi-Probiotic Vegetarian Capsules 60 ea and after a couple days noticed a few pleasant changes related to my digestion and regularity. Like another reviewer mentioned, a google search for the only strain of probiotic found in this product does not give you much. The top couple sites I found can be linked back to the manufacturer. If this strain was very beneficial, then why doesn't the multi-strain brands include it? It seems from the reviews that it has helped some people, but if you are looking to try a probiotic supplement, I would look for something that contains a few strains. When I use up what I have of the iFlora, I am going to try the newerGarden of Life Raw Probiotics, Men, 0.58-Pound. I take their vitamins and some other supplements that I have been happy with. | negative |
0 | Watch Out! | This seems like a very nice performance of the 9th, but watch out! This was recorded in 1943, and mastered from lacquer disks. There's a lot of hissing, popping, etc., and it generally sounds like it's playing on your great-grandmother's Victrola. | negative |
0 | Beethoven: Symphony #9/Furtwangler | You just can't beat Ludwig Van's Number 9. This classic is even rendered on CD with all the hissing and popping sounds from the original record it was recorded off of last century. In fact, it was so poorly recorded, I thought it was a fake. | negative |
1 | lucas black | I love Lucas and the theme of this movie. That is all that I need to say or have to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | positive |
1 | Give us a Sountrack | This was a very entertaining movie that anyone can enjoy. The music by the Killer Diller Blues Band is the best Contemperary blues I have heard in a while. I think we are in titled to have a soundtrack from this movie. Niki J. Crawford has a tremendous voice. | positive |
1 | Fun for all! | The film is wholesome enough for children and engaging enough for adults. The soundtrack is brilliant and the scenery stunning. Had it been more widely released Lucas Black is likely to have won an award for his acting. | positive |
1 | It's For sure a killer of a positive picture. | This film is breath of fresh air, a cool drink of water if you will. because the performances of the actors are great, the cast does a great job. strange but not so strange it did'nt get much press or attention(Hollywood never or hardly promotes the Good lifting ones). i really wish they would've though, because it's one uplifting picture about a guy who is a bit troubled finds redemption in a friendship of new gifted friend. i really enjoyed this film, not only because i love blues music, but because the movie had a good message to it.It's PG-13 For Language and action scenes. | positive |
0 | Not what I expected | None of these turned out well - problems with all yeast packets. The bread never rose properly -whether done in the breadmaker or baked. The bread was heavy and hardened very quickly. Definitely not what I expected. | negative |
1 | Yum! | We have had varied success in finding gluten-free/dairy-free breads that we enjoy, but this one we do truly enjoy! It has the flavor we're looking for as well as the texture and moisture. If you, like us, think a piece of cinnamon-raisin toast is wonderful in the morning, this is a great one to try. It's economical and delicious! | positive |
1 | Excellent bread | I've been GF since 1997 and know firshand what a struggle it is to find good tasting bread. This cinnamon raisin bread is very good and works well in a bread machine. While it's not quite sweet enough for me (I could probably add some sugar), it's great for a PBJ sandwich. | positive |
0 | Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Cinnamon Bun Mix | Hard to work with, but no less than what I expected from what I had heard. I'd like to be able to make sticky buns with it, so I am going to be experimenting to be able to give my Celiac daughter a chance to have some of the goodies we are used to enjoying during the holidays. | negative |
1 | Add 1 bannana for 300% improvement | The secret to this product is to add one beaten over-ripe bannana.It will then be BREAD rather than BRICK.This may work a bit better when baking in the oven so you can monitor rise-time, but it also improves the product 300% when using a Zoj* bread machine. | positive |
0 | Broke my 3 year old's heart | We have been gluten free for a while now and my 3 year was really missing bread. I didn't expect it to taste like regular bread, but didn't expect it to taste so horrible either. I made it in my bread maker and followed the directions exactly. It was very dense and tasted like potato and blackstrap molasses. When I gave it to my 3 year old he took one bite and started crying. I even had his piece slathered with butter and sprinkled sugar over it. Will not buy again. | negative |
1 | Good change from plain bread. | Good flavor. Great with cinnamon and sugar for snack. Bakes well. A little heavy. Lasts quite a while in frig. Doesn't mold as quickly as Hubby's sandwich bread.Only $4.16 on subscribe & save - free shipping.It is GF, has no MSG or related products or aspartates. | positive |
0 | NO AC ADAPTER!!? | After spending 200 on a port replicator and finding out that I need to buy another ac adapter, I am very upset! It uses the notebooks adapter. Stupid design and stupid of Sony not to include another adapter. | negative |
1 | Sorrow never sounded so good (or funny) | Oh what a fun record. I was practically hugging myself while I listened to it. Jolly takes what could be a very dark affair and puts a peculiar spin on it that can only be called.... well Jolly. Funny, poignant and always entertaining, this is a great record for when you need a pick me up. Sometimes you can practically hear the wink and knowing grin Jolly puts into his songs. His playing is notable as well. Jolly interweaves complex (Which is not to say challenging. The opposite holds true in fact in fact) musical arrangements to gently lend support to his lyrics. Overall I must say I'm impressed by Mr. Jolly and look forward to hearing more of his releases in the future.So come on....Take a chance. I did and came up with a gem. | positive |
0 | Pure Garbage | Cartridge didn't fit my MP390, even though it plainly advertises for this printer on Amazon. Ink leaked everywhere.You get what you pay for. In my case, I paid to get royally f(ked | negative |
0 | This is NOT a proper episode guide! | This book is horrible as an episode guide. Airdates and ratings are NOT included, and once we get into seasons 8 and 9, the author left out many episodes. There are only 13 episodes covered from season 8 and only 5 from season 9.The author of this book should have followed the format of the episode guides that were published by HarperCollins for the earlier seasons by Brian Lowry, Marc Shapiro, and Andy Meisler -- but he chose instead to provide a blow-by-blow accounting of the on-screen attraction between Mulder and Scully.I feel ripped-off and cheated -- as this book is horrible!If one is going to do an episode guide -- they should AT A MINIMUM -- include ALL the episodes!I cannot recommend this book to anyone ...EXaminations: An Unauthorized Look at Seasons 6-9 of "The X-Files," Featuring the reviews of Unbound I | negative |
0 | Why the need for graphic sex? | The First Amendment allows freedom of the press, which I am totally in favor of. However, [I was unprepared for ]the ...graphic depiction of sexual encounters in the first part of the book.Perhaps the author felt that readers would be bored by the tale, so he decided to interject numerous sex scenes into the book. For me, it ruined the tale.This is definitely not a book which should be on the shelves of any school system. | negative |
0 | Poor design. | This rolling pin was clumsy and awkward to use. It was heavier than I expected, and I struggled to roll out my dough evenly. It is very difficult to wash - the roller part isn't completely sealed to the handles (this is so it call roll across the dough, I guess) which means that if you leave it to soak in water, liquid will fall into the gaps and then collect inside the roller. Once this liquid collects, it is very very difficult to remove. I noticed this had happened to my roller when I noticed a disgusting orange liquid was coming out of the edges whilst I was rolling my dough. Suffice to say, my pastry was ruined and I fear, so is my rolling pin. Take care when washing this product. Also, because the roller and the handles aren't sealed together, the roller makes a lot of noisy clanking noises when being used. I find that the handles seem to jiggle back and forwards when I am rolling my pastry out, which also makes this product annoying to use. | negative |
0 | Yucky Orange Goop | I second the first reviewer! The exact same thing happened to me! Yucky orange goop all over my cookie dough! | negative |
0 | Non-stick Nightmare | My spouse purchased this item when we lost our wood pin during a move. I went to use this and my first reaction was Non-stick? was there ever a problem with real pins sticking? I looked for the name and it was not present which made me think someone didn't want their name on this product and here's why, not only is it the sticky-est rolling pin I've ever used, it is so light you have to press hard to get anything rolled out well. I also just experienced the water filling problem reported by other reviewers. I drained it well and we'll see what happens. I would not recommend this product. | negative |
1 | Good place to start when reading Cleary | This might be the best of the Ramona and Beezus books, because it captures the mindset of a six year old so perfectly. Ramona is a girl who tries to be good, but sometimes can't stop herself from being bad. She is interested in things like her own special version of the letter Q, which she dolls up to look like a kitty, or making a paper slipper during recess.While the Quimby girls remain blissfully oblivious of some of the weightier problems that real life children might have to face at home, Ramona is an interesting realistic character who children will feel a kinship with. Her tribulations at school with classmates are particularly relevant.At 124 pages, the book is longer than most books targeted to this audience, but it will be a good challenge, and the chapters remain short and simple. If you're thinking of introducing a young reader to this prolific and popular author, this might be the best place to start. | positive |
1 | A light went on. | This is my little girl. I read this with tears in my eyes because I could suddenly see her world.It is simple, a quick read and completely free of psychobabble but after reading stacks of books on parenting and birth order issues, I finally got it!I recommend this highly for parents of bright, elementary level children.My kids liked it, too. | positive |
1 | a spunky gal | Ramona's life is not picture perfect. Six is a difficult age, as I can definitely attest. Ramona has to deal with a teacher who doesn't understand, a classmate who baits her into getting into trouble, a best friend who is far too literal for her wild imagination, AND a big black gorilla. This book is painful in places, which makes it less easy to read than some of the others. But, it's wonderful anyway! | positive |
1 | Ramona never ages | This is a book I read when I was a kid and I still pull it out from time to time when I am down and need some reassurance that things will get better.Bravery is not an easy thing to come by and sometimes, as Ramona shows us, being brave doesn't always mean being a major hero. A hero for the day is sometimes all we need to get through the hard times.This book always makes me smile and should bring smiles and laughter to readers of all ages. | positive |
1 | Nothing is fair in the first grade-- a true-to-life story | Boy, Bev knows what she's talking about! This book is very realistic. I remember reading it in 3rd grade a long time ago (the Ramona series were the first chapter books I ever read! ) Reading it and about all the injustices Ramona suffered, I could really identify with her! First grade was not easy for me, I was always in trouble for things I didn't start, and felt so picked on and misunderstood! Poor Ramona, I felt so bad for her and knew exactly how she felt! | positive |
1 | Ramona the Brave | My book is about a girl named Ramona Quimby.She is always trying to be so brave and doesn't she that she still just a little girl.Her sister Beezus,tries to keep her from acting evil.But one time she takes it to far.Read the book and see if the ending is her still being brave or getting talked down!!!!!!! | positive |
0 | TERRIBLE | THAT was the worst book by this author II have seen so many better someone should start on it cause it's nasty | negative |
1 | Perfect for children | I love this book. it remindes me of my sisters Deprise and Zadia. they always stand up for each other. | positive |
1 | ramona the brave | I think that ramona was very brave. But maybe Bezzus would have been better without her teling the boys to stop.-Taeja a. Garrick | positive |
0 | It doesn't get much worse | A ludicrous plot, ridiculously disgusting, disturbing and unnecessary detail and unbelievable characters lowlight this horrible excuse for a thriller. I don't know if the author thought that he needed to shock with every sentence to draw attention to his first novel, but he makes every attempt. Unfortunately, the absurd plot and characters make this novel almost impossible to read. I was attracted to the novel by the quotes on the book jacket from a number of famous authors (who must've own the publisher a slew of favors). Shame on me. A real stinker. | negative |
1 | Make a hell of an Action Movie? | "God is a Bullet" would make a hell of an Action Movie. How about Josh Brolin as the lead. I couldn't help but think of "No Country For Old Men" as I read this. It was a quick read and kept me interested in the characters and their fates. Nothing exceptional about the writing but written as though the author knew of what he spoke. Men and women of good and evil in a southwestern landscape, you could feel and taste, are the keys to this novel. However the lines between right and wrong have never been grayer. Easy to pull against a Manson-like character such as Cyrus but he is not the only evil in this book. Greed, self interest, and a lack of morals abound in the main players. God would need a bandolier of bullets in this setting. | positive |
0 | Interesting idea, porrly executed | I read this book after reading a number of glowing reviews here and elsewhere. I can't say I didn't enjoy it, but the writer could stand to learn a few more speech patterns. All the characters, whether younger, older, drugged up, straight, cop, psychopath, etc... all spoke the same way. The "hip" dialogue was over the top at best and juvenile at worst. I found myself rolling my eyes several times. Very distracting. Sounds like Teran's seen too many independent films and was trying to write in order to be adapted. | negative |
1 | Impossible to Forget | The most darkly riveting and disturbing fiction I have ever read. Teran spins a vivid portrait of the landscape and life of the southern California desert, and the degenerates, losers, and loners who populate it. Don't expect any heros in this one: even the "good guys" are bad, but as gritty and real as any author has ever succeeded in capturing in print. Though his prose can be a bit heavy and overdone at times, this is nonetheless a powerful story, and a triumphant first novel. If you have a taste for modern-noir, don't miss this one. | positive |
0 | Is Knopf desperate for sales?? | Or is Boston Teran related to the editor-in-chief? I can't think of any other reasons that a prestigious literary house would publish such dreck. Egregiously clunky prose, sentence fragments, and tv-movie dialogue abound. (Was this book copyedited? It's hard to tell.) The bad guys, moreover, are stock characters one and all. They have all the requisite signifiers: tattoos, spiky or no hair, drug use, leather clothing, etc. Admittedly, I did want to find out what happens, but only in the same way one wants to find out what happens when you round the corner to your block and find out that there are firemen standing around in front of the house next door. | negative |
1 | Unique | A murder, kidnap, revenge tale that is disturbing and nightmarish. You won't forget these characters. | positive |
0 | NY Times reviewed some other book | Most of the action happens somewhere outside the story and is described to a man by several different people. It feels remote and uninvolving. Why does each character sound like they are auditioning for a Stephen King reading? People in the real world don't speak like this. Why do the characters in the story talk so much, maybe because, since there is no action, there has to be talk to fill up page after page. The deeper I got into this book the less I liked the writing. The final straw was a sentence that went "They ran a couple sentences around each other. Nothing special." How lazy is that? | negative |
0 | Stick with the masters. | Simply the latest installment in a lengthy series of average-to-absurd Chandler/Thompson/Burke wannabes. Lots of gore cannot subsitute for rich, gritty prose. Guns and violence do not make a hard-boiled novel. Atmosphere does. This book lacks any nuance to give it credibility. Too bad his talent doesn't match his ambition. | negative |
0 | Not memorable | It is an O.K. book. Not memorable. I kept huffing and puffing midway through the book because I had already figured out the plot, which is obvious at that point. It kept dragging, and dragging, and dragging. But I had to finish it because that's just the type of girl I am.True suspense books are suspenseful until the end. This one isn't. | negative |
0 | Put a Bullet in My Brain | I was seriously dissappointed by Boston Teran's first novel. God Is a Bullet was a waste of what could have been an interesting story. The plot had no flow. The dialogue tried to hard to be cool. If you like white trash thrillers you'll do better by rereading some Jim Thompson. | negative |
1 | Collectors Item | In all honesty this is the album that fans unfamiliar with Laibach should buy first. From the Friday the 13th sounding Wirtschaft ist Tot to the pre-Prodigy hip hop influenced Hymn to the Black Sun Kapital doesnt stop. The rolling drums and choral vocals of Entartete Welt are more than a little catchy. Illumination and the melodic Everlasting Union begin the journey into Laibach's eastern European stylizing. Light on lyrics but gargantuan on music Kapital rates in my book as one of the best industrial albums of 1992 and all of the early ninties for that matter. | positive |
1 | Adventurous as always... | Just about perfect...hence the 4 stars. Not to reiterate from other prior reviews, but this is one of the best Laibach releases. While it does not have the bombastic percussion of Macbeth, or the guitars of JC Superstars (that would come later of course) or many of Milan's vocals (as lead)...it does cover a lot of stylistic ground and posesses the trademark ominous Laibach sense of humor. Buy this and the DVD of their promotional videos, especially for the Wirtschaft ist Tot (The Economy is Dead) clip. One of the most artistic and beautifully realized vids ever. This could serve as an intro to the band, as could Let it Be, Wat or the Anthems compilation. You won't go wrong with any of these. | positive |
0 | Cost-saving with problem | Non-latex masks are hard to find. The cost is reasonable and the large quantity is great. The problem is that the elastic on most of the masks snaps off after very little use. I've tried stapling and taping but nothing holds. Not recommended. | negative |
0 | Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter | This was a hugely disappointing game. Extremely linear, and ridiculously short. Not, repeat, not worth the money! If you've played Baldurs Gate II, basically this was the equivalent of a single quest. If you haven't played Baldurs Gate II, buy that game instead. You definitely won't be disappointed. | negative |
0 | not worth the money | As a diehard fan of CRPGs, and especially of BG1, BG2, and Icewind Dale I was sorely disappointed in this expansion pack. Unlike Tales of the Sword Coast, which proved to be a challenge, my "final save" party from IWD breezed through this easily. I finished this expansion pack on the second day. Sure there were some graphic improvements and higher experience levels, but this thing was nowhere near worth..., not for just the few quests that you get for it. The boss, or "foozle," or whatever you might call him, was a disappointment, too, much less difficult than similar monsters in BG2. If you have unlimited funds, go for it, but I would say that you should wait for it to show up in the bargain bin. | negative |
0 | Too Short, Too Easy, Too expensive | As an avid Baldurs Gate fan I was extremely disappointed with this expansion pack. Although I felt that the original Icewind Dale was too short I felt that the expansion pack was a total rip-off. I completed it after only about 5 hours. When the endgame movie started to play I thought it was the end of a chapter, until I saw the credits!Don't waste you money. | negative |
0 | "Somewhere in Snora" | John Wayne once remarked that producer Leon Schlesinger's cartoons "were better than the horse operas he put me in." The Duke was probably referring to "Somewhere in Sonora" (1933) - one of his weakest Warner/Vitagraph Westerns. Wayne's youthful presence, Ted McCord's cinematography and a good supporting cast (including Henry B. Walthall, Paul Fix and Glenn Strange) are the best aspects of this dull "B" programmer. More action and far less comic relief would have helped. If you want embryonic Wayne, stick with "Haunted Gold" or "The Big Stampede." | negative |
1 | Martha's Music Is Mar-Vel-Ous!!! | Martha's no limits CD, each song will lift you up in the spirit of the promises of God, who he is and what he has done for us. This CD will make you feel like singing, praising, worshipping, dancing, crying, and most of all bringing you into a place of humbleness and reverance, through hearing, understanding, and acknowledgement by understanding who we are in Christ, and who God is as our Heavenly Father. Let us get up and dance! sing!! and make a Joyful Noise Unto The Lord..for we were created to sing praises unto him.."Make it Glorious!!!" | positive |
1 | A Must Read for all Teachers | Hilariously funny. I received this book as a gift when I got my first teaching job. Since then, I have given it to all 6 of my student teachers. It is a great introduction to the life you will have as a teacher. | positive |
1 | 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny book | This book is a must for any teacher! Phillip Done shares his personal teaching stories with humor and wit. I have given this book as a gift to some of my teaching cohorts and as a retirement gift. It also makes a great Christmas or end of the school year gift for a child's teacher. If you enjoy this book, Phillip came out with a second book, which is another great read! | positive |
1 | great bed time reading | This books is a collection of observations and stories from a 20 year veteran teacher. Many made me laugh and think of my own previous students. | positive |
1 | Loved this book | I agree with the other reviewers who say this book is great for teachers, great for parents...However, I don't have kids, it's 30 years since I was in the third grade, I don't have any friends who are teachers. And I still LOVED THIS BOOK. The news is full of stories of bad kids and lousy schools. This book reminds us there are still good kids, good parents, good teachers out there. There's a lot of hope and a lot of heart in these pages. | positive |
1 | 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny | If you've ever taught school, you'll totally relate to Mr. Done's experiences. He's "spot on" and makes you laugh about even the most frustrating aspects of the job. All teachers should read the book as should parents to get an insight about what really happens in the classroom. | positive |
0 | a piece of junk | 1. jam at least twice for the period that i used it ( shooting less than 200 brats )2. stop working after using it for less than a week3. made in China4. Since it came with the makita compressor i can't return for refund. So i returned it to amazon for replacement. Amazon refuse to replace it.5. the nailer doesn't deserve a star. However i have to give it one so that amazon will publish my review | negative |
0 | waste of money | Buy any other gun, but do not waste your money on this one. I did use it for about 3 months and I was completly dissappointed. It jamed often and was unable to drive 2" nails into oak at pressure about 120psi. Instead, leaves a nail out and punch another hole next to that nail. If you work with a stain grade materials...get better gun. | negative |
1 | Continues to amaze | I purchased this model well over a year now and it has been serving me well this whole time. Do not forget to oil it maybe once a month, maybe more frequent depending on use. I would highly recommend this nail gun for anyone doing finish work, especially crown molding. | positive |
1 | It's a legend | Snoopy has become a legend, it is sort of a part of a culture. You ought to read this if you like american culture. | positive |
0 | Made in China- And It Shows | I bought the Dean Playmate Pack three years ago when I was first getting started with the guitar, and remember being very displeased with its quality. Things went well for about three months- then the cord shorted- just died. I bought a new cord and played for three months- and the amp blew. I didn't drop it or turn it up too loud (1/4 the volume, in fact). It just grew more and more temperamental, then died. The final thing to go was the strap, which tore after infrequent use. I still have the guitar, which works fine, but I thought I was getting more than that when I bought it. | negative |
0 | floydcramercd | the cd from amazon is useless! i put my music in computer to enjoy. the cd has a piracy coding that does not allow me to load to computer. i will not purchase cd's again | negative |
1 | EXCELLENT | This cd is exzcellent. I cannot compare Floyd Cramer with any other as he is in a distinct class of his own.Very good for listening during early morning devotions.All the good old-time favourites are on this cd, and it stands as a very refreshing treat.Reviewed ny Heather Marshall Negahdar - July 19th 2010 | positive |
1 | LOOKIN' GREAT, MINNESOTA | M is for Minnesota, by Debra Chial, makes this reader eager for a trip up north to put myself in those enticing photographs. From A to Z, we see the state at its most beautiful and its most fun; plus, we get a bit of history and facts as well. This would be an excellent book to read to a pre-schooler, or for a early to mid grade schooler's homework project. If one has a personal connection to Minnesota, or has a need for information about the highlights of our 32nd state, this book will fill the bill. Set up in alphabet format, one gorgeous photograph and simple fact on each page, it is appropiate for reading to preschool children. For older kids, maybe up to age 10 and ready for more information, there are two pages of "Quick Facts" relating to the highlights, at the beginning of the book. It would have been helpful had the author listed the page numbers to which these facts pertained, although they are in some order of occurence. | positive |
0 | Mediocre at best | This is an OK songbook but it is not really arranged for ukulele. The chords and chord diagrams are good but the melodies are not arranged for ukulele. Fewer than 10 of the 30 songs can have the melody played on a soprano ukulele without transposing the music, some of the notes are below the instrument's range. It does have great songs, but I would recommend it more for guitar. | negative |
0 | Very poor sound quality ... avoid | I was piping music directly into a pair of old Mackie SRM450s from an E-Mu 0404 hooked up to my laptop. Sounded pretty decent for entry level equipment.Then we decided to have a woman talking over the music. So we put this .. thing ... between the 0404 and the Mackies, and plugged a Shure SM57 mic into line 1.Her voice came out of the Mackies so muffled that i sounded like she was talking through a pillow. Completely lost the high end on the music I was playing. Getting good enough sound required turning up the Hi EQ knobs all the way up, and the Lo EQ knobs all the way down on both the Line 1 input and the main outs.Behringer makes good enough amps and their DSP equipment is a category price/value leader, but they can't do cheap analog mixers with decent sound quality. | negative |
1 | Criticisms of Foundational Issues in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science | Bickhard and Terveen make a useful contribution emphasizing interaction, feedback and time.I believe that they go too far however. On page 270 the authors claim "error requires output"and on 294 "There is no, and can be no, error for a system with no outputs." I disagree.Learning to anticipate how conditions in the world will evolve is clearly biologically adaptive.A (sub)system can learn sequences of inputs, at each moment trying to predict the next fewinputs that will appear. Success can simply be the ability to anticipate and error is then aninability to anticipate accurately. Representation could be viewed as the compact generalizationof patterns and sequences seen in raw sensory input signals. | positive |
1 | Good authentic Italian cooking | Easy to follow and you can have good Italian food without having to pay restaurant prices. Other cookbooks I have tried have been more difficult to follow | positive |
1 | All styles of Italian Cuisines from North to South | This book has been around in numerous forms for many, many years and is well known throughout Italy as the quintessential cookbook of classic recipes.The book works its way methodically through the many courses that make up a variety of regional meals throughout italy.From antipastos, to entrees, mains and desserts, there is a diverse variety of ideas and suggestions to stimulate and inspire people looking to prepare an authentic meal.The recipes range from simple, easily prepared fare, through to technical and specialised meals that are challenging, yet rewarding when plated.If cooking Italian is your passion, this book is a necessary addition to your library. | positive |
0 | il Libro Cosi Cosi | The book is an interesting compilation of recipes however they say it is translated for American Kitchens. First of all most Americans don't make recipes according to weight so unless you have a kitchen scale you will have to estimate everything for example a pound of flower or a jigger of something. Also some recipes are things that Americans don't make like Brains.I've made a few recipes and I think that they aren't anything special they are just like Italian American food I've had but they tend to be bland. I also don't think this represents all the regions because you don't see a transformation of ingredients they are all uniform throughout and as you know just from traveling throughout the US alone cooking is very different, the same applies to Italian food.It is a good cookbook for individuals who are just learning how to cook as far as learning what basic ingredients going into things but they also need to recognize that most American cookbooks are not the same. | negative |
1 | Best Jobim vocals, ever! | Yes, the musicianship is great. Both versions of "Brasil" are legendary, and the instrumentals blow you away everytime. But what about the most stunning piece of music in the album, the delicate yet powerful "Sabiá"? Jobim and Chico Buarque wrote that song in collaboration, that should be enough for you. But the delicate instrumentation combined with Jobim's trademark raspy voice turn the whole song into something very hard to forget. | positive |
0 | Low Quality/Overpriced/Beware of Seller | Anyone familiar with current Teac branded products knows they are a far cry from the old reel-to-reel tape recorders that made the Teac name famous. This is understandable. The Teac EQA220 Equalizer is overpriced. You can easily find this exact same unit at 30% less than it is advertised for here and get free shipping too. And a word to the wise about Discountjungle...it's a jungle out there! If you want to return an item to this company they charge you a 15% restocking charge on the cost of the item AND the shipping charge. Of course you pay the return shipping too. Buyer Beware when your're dealing with "The Jungle." | negative |
0 | Saveur Cooks Recipes Journal Missed Very Good By A Recipe! | Saveur could have added two to three more recipes per category in the original book. I would have like to see additional "drop-ins" packages for each catergory that I could review online, select, and purchase as time goes on. | negative |
