| Wrap falls off the tree constantly | I bought this wrap because one of our kittens outside like to use the trees as his scratching post. All this did was give him something to play with after he tore it off and for me to clean up.I tried everything and every trick to keep it on short of glueing it to the tree. | [

| bait and switch | this rambling book provides no secrets or trading tips to help the average trader. rather it is a history of the authors efforts to level the trading field between the market makers and DAET traders. While he is to be commended for these efforts, by using this title to the book, and the paragraphs within, he is in fact just as guilty of misrepresentation as the market makers he rails against | [

| What???? | I really enjoy reading WWII autobiographies, but had to stop reading this one on page 64 when the author claimed that during a commando raid inside occupied France he stole an ME 109 and, despite the fact that he wasn't a pilot, flew it back to England, then turned down the Victoria Cross. Huh? | [

| THIS MOVIE HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! | I was one of those people who did not run to see this movie in theaters and waited many years to see it on video. I watched it again recently in my home theater and it holds up amazingly well. It has elements of romance,action,comedy,suspense and even horror! Yes horror! It may not be the gorefest we see now-a-days, but demons dragging their victim to hell after being impaled by a huge plate glass window falling like a guillotine through their chest qualifies in my book. The story is ingeniously written and Whoopi Goldberg steals the show and won a well deserved Oscar for her role as a "psychic medium" in this classic tale of greed, betrayal, revenge and unbound love! I have the older edition and the transfer looks excellent. | [

| Great for a lazy day with one's lover | This is a compilation of several tests on how one's relationship is going. My wife and I fortunately did well and the test results were surprizingly pretty accurate. We had fun and (sorry authors) have loaned the book to several friends who all loved it too. The tests are broken in to different types and can be taken separately. We started out taking the book with us to a coffee shop and while waiting for a performer took one of the tests. It is a fun book!! The results that unmarried friends shared with me seemed true to those of us outside of their relationships. They are all together still 4 months after reading. | [

| A disappointing book about a tragic figure | After reading Robert Caro's masterful biographies (Volumes 1 and 2) of LBJ, I yearned to learn more about the background of Lady Bird--specifically what contributed to her not only staying married to LBJ but to singlemindedly propelling his career forward. Well, Russell's book certainly disappoints. It is very poorly and awkwardly written and edited. The only new information that I gleaned from this book was gossipy. If one wishes to learn substantive information about Lady Bird (and of course about LBJ), Caro's biographies are a far superior source. | [

| Not what I'd hoped for | I really liked the piece on the cover and assumed that all the pieces in the book would follow in the same vein and I was sorely disappointed when the book arrived and the projects are kinda crappy. There are a couple of things worth making but they didn't make the purchase worth the cost of the book. The how to part of the book isn't very good either. Explanations assume that the reader knows how to do things and there are very few pictures showing processes. Luckily I know what I'm doing! | [

| Built to last | I did EXTENSIVE research when I set out to find a shredder. I did NOT want a shredder that would go kaput on me after the one year warranty would expire, as all my previous ones had. This one is nice and big - you can shred for a long, long time before you'd have to empty out that basket. It feels solid. It has a separate slot for shredding CDs. It has a good, no a great warranty - more than your standard one year warranty. It had a super customer satisfaction percentage. So far I'm one happy camper! | [

| Quality ladder although difficult to maneuver inside a house or garage. | I bought this ladder and it worked fine, is quality construction and lived up to everything it advertised. My issue is that this ladder is big, heavy and very difficult to maneuver in my house & garage so I returned it. Probably not a good solution for inside a house like changing ceiling light bulbs or fans however for outdoor projects this should work just fine. Werner makes a quality ladder and this one is well built. | [

| Not worth the time and money... | Overall a bad buy! Horrible DVD mastering with menus that never fully load and buttons that don't work. The movie has a couple of really funny extra clips in it, but nothing really "finished." The extended scenes aren't scored, which is really distracting because I couldn't stop thinking about the great "Mondo Bongo" song that should have been there during the alternate ending, et al!Don't bother with this one... check out the Directors Cuts of "Kingdom of Heaven" (amazing!) and "King Arthur" - they're both very worthwhile. | [

| A Love-Hate Relationship | Fight Club. After hearing from a few friends that they hated it, but that it reminded them of me, I puchased in on a whim. I was NOT disappointed.A man finds himself living in a horrible, run-down old house with a close, eprsonal stranger. His life is falling apart. An insomniac, he's found the perfect support group: Fight Club. At the heart of this "support group" is pure smooth-brained violence: fist fights.The film gets bloody at several points. This is a side effect of the plot and could possibly be wholly ignored without consequence. Ultimately the film is strong social commentary; to wear a tie... or to return to a primal state. I can say very little without giving away too much. This is a film best seen unprepared, and I can strongly recommend it to anyone. | [

| Lowest Price around | This wrest is the King-of-all-Rest at any price, but at the price it's offered at, i had to buy two for each of my customer service attendants. They are on their wrists all day long and with the coverage these pads provide, I can feel comfortable i've given them the best comfort available. Sometimes it's the little things you do for your staff that mean the most, and I received the most appreciative "thank you" smiles after the first full day these were used. If you have ANY reason whatsoever for a heavy duty wrist rest, this is your best bet! | [

| Bland Music To Say The Least | I was curious when this CD came out so I bought it opening day almost two months ago. I try not to judge the music to soon as it takes really good music several listens to before it starts having its "own" sound. But this album has nothing going for it except the name- and it ain't Chris Gaines. Buy this album only if you have to have all of Garth's CDs and I do admit it does have its place..........as a coaster on the coffee table. | [

| You Won't Go Wrong With This Film! | A buried treasure, Wrong Is Right - as so many others have commented - is one of the rare pieces of fiction that predates the facts. Kudos to Richard Brooks for accurately predicting modern day media and international politics from the vantage point of 1981.The movie is criticized for its apparent uneveness - swaying back and forth between thrilling drama and outright humor. As it stands, the screenplay is pure political satire. Some can stomach it, others can't. I maintain that it's a great film but, released in 1982, no one could comprehend its subject matter of a near future with society in chaos. Nevertheless, Wrong Is Right is a fascinating motion picture that deserves a second look. Beyond the seemingly dated facade of 1982 is a timeless tale of sinister world leaders and terrorists, an intrepid newsman, and the neverending quest to spin the truth. | [

| Cheaply made | This brush would not stand up to a cast iron pan on its best day. In reality it looks very different from the picture shown, where the the bristles look short and very sturdy. Actually, the inner circle bristles are pliable plastic, the outer steel bristles are very thin and bend easily. Upon opening the package, several bristles had already bent backwards just during shipping. I would return the item, but it's subject to a 15% restocking fee and I would have to pay for shipping; not exactly worth it for an $8 item. Just disappointing. | [

| Didn't work at all | I try to make my reviews fair and honest but I can find nothing good to say about the Terk HDTVa antenna. I visit a lot of BB stores as part of work and I was curious why nearly every store has this product in the customer return area. Their selling price is almost 70 but I saw one the same price as the everyday price here and bought it. I plugged it in to my TV (I am line of sight to the transmitter towers) and I could not receive even one HDTV station. Zero. Now, it could be that is why the first customer or customers returned it. But it is hard to believe something so simple could not even pick up one station. The product is ridiculously overpriced at 70, it really is nothing more that a cheap pair of rabbit ears. I honestly don't think its worth 39 even if it worked. If I get another and I can make it work I'll update this review. | [

| You have got to be kidding me. | Please do yourself a favor and spend the $13.50 or so on something worthwhile or donate it to me if you are desperate to throw money away. This album has very little musical quality or merit and I cannot get through it again. Repetitive tones and words can be great in some songs, too bad this cd does not contain a song that it works in.I guess with some large company backing even something this bad can be considered Great. (Echos of Ashlee Simpson go here)And finally I see they received two grammy nominations for this album............2 nominations..........for this album..........This gives me hope to win a grammy with my new album "Recordings from a Restroom". Obviously this is what it takes to be a grammy winning artist these days. | [

| Still a classic game! | A great hex-based game for the historical wargamer, even though it is several years old. Due to it's age (I bought mine used) I had to download a patch to make it work with Windows XP. I also have Battleground's Bull Run which was an earlier game in the series, but mine may be an updated edition since it ran fine first time on XP. I have to say that visually Bull Run is better and clearer. The fields and forests in Chickamauga look as though they are at the end of an extremely severe and long summer (brownish, rather than the lush green of Bull Run). My only gripe is that the A/I (the computer playing one side) in both games is rather weak and passive. It gets a little tedious getting huge Major Victories all the time. It is much better playing human opponents via email. | [

| Mormon Pity-Pot Women Speak | I bought this book when it was in hard-back. I was hoping it would yeild insights into Latter-day Saint women's issues. Instead, it turned out to be a page-by-page pity party of Mormon "liberal" females. After a bit of time wading through the narratives, one gets weary reading how these ladies try to flatter themselves, riding on the mindset that they are the enlightened elite--troddened down in the male-dominatated world of the Latter-day Saints. Stylized self-pity. Often they seem to get lost in their own wordplay while trying to frame some kind of argument to justify their own persecution fantasies. A waste of time and money--even in paperback. | [

| Read This ONE!!! | How do you find a soul mate? For that matter, what is a soul mate? As someone who was recently a single woman in her 30s, I have spent hours mulling this over with friends. Our discussions and searchings would have been richer with the help of Kathy Freston's new book, The One: Finding Soul Mate Love and Making It Last. This insightful book reminds us that what we're really looking for in a relationship is a place to become our best self by nurturing an intimate connection with another person.And now that I'm a married woman, the "making it last" part is what counts.Kathy Freston's book is good reading and full of practical observations about finding someone with whom you can grow and blossom, and how to keep that soul connection alive once you've found him or her.Everyone looking for, or navigating through, a relationship should read this great new book! | [

This hybrid of music is real dope beacuse it combines hip hop/rap and gives it a powerful and energetic edge. the intro is good, an extract from a M.L.King speech which goes into Empower which is by far the best track. Other good tracks are Horrifying and Keep On Breathing. | [

| Save your money | I can't give this product a 0 as an option so it gets a 1.I saw this on Shark Tank and thought it looked like an interesting idea; the product is crap. It is very poorly made and it is actually dangerous to use. You need to cut out rings as the cat progresses and the areas are not perforated so you need to use a utility knife. The type of plastic used results in a very sharp edge, I ended up with a fairly serious cut on my hand because of this and you can imagine the risk of infection when you introduce animal waste bacteria into an open cut.Stay away from this product, the concept is good but the execution and design of the product is dangerous. | [

| Missleading and Incorrect | This movie is entirely fictional and is NOT based on true events. First of all, the great 'Saviors' family was killed by muslims, and so he chooses to go killing some muslims in a completely different country. That in in itself shows that the director hates muslims and limits all muslims to being 'bad'. The other thing is the way that he portraied Bosnian-Muslims; main causes/killers of the war, which is a complete lie. The serbs goal was to eliminate the whole Bosnian-Muslim population and create a dominant ethinc group; the serbs ofcourse. Also he forgot to mention the attack on Srebrenica where serbs killed over 8000 civillians in just one day...I just have to asume that the director LOATHES all muslims as he completely LIED. | [

| Quality drop off | I owned this same knife for years until the spring inside finally broke. It was a very good knife and I used it so often that I decided to get another one.This knife came out of the box sounding like it has sand in the pivot (hinge). It sticks if you try to let it open slowly (controlled). I attempted to disassemble the knife to remove the blade and clean up the stamping burrs from the action, but I couldn't even get it open. Apparently they are so concerned about the pivot (hinge) loosening that they assembled it with gorilla force. I still haven't figured out how to get into it without stripping out the Torx head nuts.Lastly, this "Stainless Steel" knife is not really stainless steel. I realized this when it stuck to a magnet that I have in my toolbox.I couldn't be more disappointed with this purchase after having such good success with my last one. | [

| Drew | I really loved this show when it was originally on TV. It is not as good as I remember but I still have problems watching just 1 episode. I'm usually limited on down time. So many times I look for a fun show that I don't have to concentrate to figure out who done it or I don't have time to watch a longer show. If you are looking for a good under 30min comedy to sit down and watch, this is it. Better than the comedies that are on the air today.

| No script is good enough to override the never-ending FOUL LANGUAGE | The never-ending fountain of FOUL LANGUAGE in this movie is horrible! Evidently the writers didn't have much to say, because the filler is ear piercing in nearly every other sentence or conversation in this movie. Let's pretend that these "rich folks" actually graduated from college, and some from many years of college ... meaning that they are well educated. I would hope that all of that education might net them a larger, more intelligent dictionary from which to speak. There is not a script in the world great enough to distract from the filthy mouths in this movie. If you prefer a cleaner dialogue, skip this one, even though it may have your favorite actors in it, it is not worth your time, money or thoughts! | [

| Power Supply Delivered was not compatible with the Dock that was delivered. | The power supply that came with the dock was 170Watt power supply which is compatible with the Thinkpad that I have, however it would not plug into the dock because the power plugs were different. The dock works with a lower wattage power supply which I just happen to have, but the Thinkpad still runs on battery power. Not really what I was looking for from a dock.The supplier (eDealer) that I have been dealing with has been GREAT through this whole thing and I would give them 5 Stars! | [

| Love my Kindle! | I waited and waited, did a lot of research before purchasing the Kindle. I have to tell you that buying the Kindle was the best decison I made recently. I love the lack of complication, the insructions are simple to follow, and the ease of use makes it a joy to read. Legibility is great, easy to hold, and feels comfortable in your hands. I already read two books that I would not have read if I did not purchase my Kindle. The whispernet service is FREE, and that is a BIG deal - plus it works flawlessly - books in 60 seconds. I'm sorry I waited so long. In regards to other models out there, I wanted an e-reader, not a laptop or MP3 player so the Kindle was a "perfect" choice. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a fabulous e-reader. | [

| Not Worth The Money | The Sony Dream Machine has major flaws.The biggest reason that it was returned was because the numbers were impossible to read at night. The dimmer only changed the lime green background and did not improve the contrast so that the numbers would be more visible. The numbers are also small making them even more difficult to see. The unit does not have a battery backup and also does not have a remote even though cheaper units have both of these features. | [

| Broke, full refund from Logitech | Be forewarned... there's a reason they are normally $109 and are now selling for $29!I disregarded the warnings from everyone when I bought these because I read somewhere that logitech had fixed the problem w/ the band breaking. THEY HAVENT! I called logitech and with no questions asked they refunded me all my money (other than shipping costs to mail the headphones back to them). at first I was slightly upset that they didnt offer to replace them, until i realised that this was so common that they knew that a replacement pair would break as well. Glad I went back to good ol' Sony, wired headphones!I would give the headphones less than a star if possible, the sound of the headphones was great, and logitech's quick refunding of my money was appreciated. too bad they made such a horrible product. | [

| Boring and annoying | You will be wondering why it is called elephant: Let me explain why, because it is slow and stupid! The majority of the movie is a camera (very low budget camera I might add) over the shoulder following each student through a very large high school building. THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE WHOLE MOVIE. If you enjoy watching someone walk, then maybe you will like this, I' not exaggerating either, Oe of the kids walks from one end of the building to the other in a scene that last for more than 10 minutes. Then when that seen finishes, your right behind another student, and same thing. You will not grow attached to the characters at all. This movie was such a great concept, and they had to crap it up. They could have elaborated way more on the students, the bulling and their lifestyles. This is grade A defecation. To top it off, the ending has no resolution, it leaves you hanging with unresolved issues. OH and the gore was limited | [

| The truth of the matter. | I cannot agree with Lisa W. The chapter dedicated to diagnosis in Foundations of Chinese Medicine is about 95 pages long; the book Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine runs to about 1000 pages, so I do not see how they could be the same. Some overlap between Foundations and Diagnosis is inevitable (Zangfu patterns) but the sections are not the same. To me, this book is the most comprehensive source on Chinese diagnosis. Two aspects stand out for me. One is the comprehensive list of symptoms and signs with patterns causing them and cross-reference to other chapters; the other is the section on pulse diagnosis which, to me, is full of useful clinical insights. As for the arrows going in all directions...that is how Chinese medicine is; there are no rigid, one-way correspondences (e.g. Phlegm aggravates Blood stasis but this aggravates Phlegm). | [

| New Edition Better Than The Reviews | The other reviews for this DVD are correct. It was taken from a VHS source and the audio is distorted. As someone who worked on the project I can say that the earlier version reviewed on this page was not supposed to be released to the public, but that a very good quality copy has now been issued in it's place. We regret some people have purchased an inferior product and if they would get in touch with Topics Entertainment a newer and much better disc will be exchanged. You will like this show. It's very similar to the Over America series, also seen on PBS, showing Colorado in all it's magnificent splendor. | [

| Chinese vamp attack | Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung- two of Chinas biggest pop stars(aka TWINS) must stop the "Duke" from openening "Day for Night"(vampire bible) which will give him control of the human world. Don't let the fact that these are two pop stars trying to fight vampires repel you. The film is actually pretty good- believe it or not. They have actually been in quite a few films and do pretty well. Along with Jackie Chan(small cameo scenes- not too much fighting), Ed(ison) Chen(my arch nemesis), Ekin Cheng(who is in numerous other TWINS movies), and Anthony Wong. How can you go wrong. Watch for the fight between TWINS(choreographed by Donnie Yen)- its pretty impressive-even though they have no martial arts training. It is essentially a teen film but it has good action and TWINS so its a must. P.S- watch out- TWINS are addictive. Seriously. | [

| There is no practical value to this book | Hundreds of pages of insanely dense math with absolutely no practical information on how to apply chaos theory to the markets. In fact, the author seems to suggest that it may be impossible to use chaos theory as a prediction tool in the financial markets.This is akin to a recipe book written by someone who thinks cooking is impossible, so all he can really write about is grocery shopping. NOT recommended! A much better book is "Trading on the Edge" by Deboeck.The only cool thing about the book is that you can use it to impress your friends/enemies with the title and loads of arcane equations inside. | [

| Laugh Out Loud Funny!!! | It's a zany mix-up in this dazzling comedy starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. This is a riches-to-rags story for anyone who loves practical jokes. Hawn stars as Joanna Stayton, a pampered and self-centered wife of a presumptous yacht owner. With their boat stuck in port for repairs, Joanna hires carpenter Dean Proffitt (Russell)to redo her closet space. But after the job is complete and Dean asks to be paid, Joanna flat out refuses to him. When Joanna falls overboard and gets a case of amnesia, Dean jumps on the opportunity for a little payback. He tell Joanna that she is his wife and the mother of four wild and unruly boys! So check out this hilarious movie, and be prepared to laugh all the way through it! | [

| Not worth it. | My wife bought this blender because it was red. I make smoothies using frozen fruit a couple of times a week. It worked for about a year until this morning when the bottom screw stripped, making an awful sound and smell. I found an old Oster blender in the cabinet and finished blending. I had previously had nothing to compare the Black and Decker to, but the Oster blended much faster. I guess I got my money's worth from the Black and Decker, $50 for a year of smoothies, but after seeing what the Oster can do...don't buy this blender. | [

| Decent for a first book | The barebone plot is certainly not bad and the indepth world is convincing. Yet, there are too many details that do nothing for the book, many sentences being long and overly technical. Much of the background information would be better relegated into a stuffy old history textbook!I would've preferred more action scenes, more story behind the characters; more lines for everyone. The ending wasn't too bad except I couldn't believe the characters would "escape from their feelings" after making it so far. At least put in some more effort, man, before calling it quits! I know Wells was trying for realism but *hint, hint*: in situations like these, a bit of "out of character" would lend some humour and make the reader go "awww". | [

| I hope somebody at KitchenAid got fired over this | My wife bought this thinking this would be an upgrade to the cheap spinner we were using at the time. I wish she had read some of the reviews here first.It was poorly engineered from the get-go. As other reviews point out, it doesn't come apart and as such is cumbersome to put in the dishwasher. Are you freakin kidding me? I'm sorry. I just don't think something like this should require hand washing in this day and age.Every time we used it, it got harder and harder to press the plunger that creates the spinning action. Finally, it stripped out when the necessary force was applied. It had only been used 20 or 30 times.KitchenAid used to make quality products. Maybe their appliances are still o.k. But for me, this experience has cast a pall over anything with the KitchenAid name attached to it. | [

| Good impression after two weeks | I have had this printer for about two weeks now and so far it is an excellent value. Out of the box it was easy to set up, and the drivers were a snap. One caution for W2K users though, drivers for W2K need to be downloaded from the internet. I am not sure why Xerox does it that way, but the drivers do install quite easily.Print quality is great, and you have four levels of detail. I print a monthly tenant newsletter, and I use draft quality to save ink. It printed out 70 copies in about 5 minutes in draft mode!Overall I am impressed with the quality. I will complain that the receiver tray can pop off sometimes during printing. A strange effect indeed. With all the advantages though (I run mine via USB) and an awesome price, I HIGHLY recommend this printer. You will not be dissappointed. | [

| Yes, it does spray grounds | Yes, as someone else noted, the container for the grounds has a lid and the grounds come out of a small hole in the front that feeds directly into the container. It still sprays coffee grounds all over, because the pieces don't fit together quite right. I even tried using rubber bands to hold the parts together and they did not help. My workaround is to put it in the sink while it runs so the grounds will be contained.After it is done grinding the coffee, the sink and the grinder are covered with coffee grounds, and cleanup takes a while.It gets two stars instead of one because it *does* grind the coffee, but there has to be a better way. | [

| Grand, Well Made A 13 year old reviewer. | A very great movie. Special effects were great, cast was well chosen, and soundtrack was beutiful. Peter Jackson did a great job on the film. I wouldn't recomend this film for young children for violence (battles),and scary images (Orcs and Uruk-hai). The movie was a good interpetation of the book. Better than1970's cartoon versianby Ralph Bankshi. The movie is rather voilent by good in everything else. I am looking foward to seeing the 2nd and 3rd installments, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. A good entertaning versian o fthe epic novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. | [

| DARN GOOD TOOL/INSTRUMENT | I have recently been exploring SUNGAZING and I wanted to be responsible regarding the care of my eyes. This monitor is exceedingly user friendly regarding UV readings with the added plus of giving an estimated time for being safe in the sun light. I also use the time function as I have recently dispensed with wearing a watch on my wrist. I'm interested in temperature as well but only in a casual way. The monitor is a bit slow in terms of adjusting for the temperature, but this might be a good thing in that so many things seem to be moving so fast here in 2011. My primary interest is in acquiring a quick(four seconds) read on UV light and this small unit fits the bill perfectly. | [

Diver Mind Mania is highly intellectual and adequately addresses many sophisticated issues that the student athlete encounters. I was a ballet dancer in college. I like wearing skimpy clothes. Divers wear skimpy clothes. I know how it is to study Nietzsche while worrying about shows. The book is a tough read. It reminds me of Joyce, but no one understands him either.

| Niagra, Niagra | I watched this movie many years ago and bought the soundtrack immediately. Recently I found the VHS on Amazon and had to buy it. You can't find this movie at video store. It's so real, so raw with characters. It's a "tell it like it is" kind of movie that makes you laugh out loud before you realize what you are doing, but you are laughing at something dark, crazy or just plain straightforward. The movie never lets you down, never stops twisting and turning, or wrenching your gut with the realities of life and the parts we all must face. I would go so far as to call it "prolific" but then again-I'm its biggest fan. | [
