DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
|
I have been an Oil of Olay user for decades, I'm 61, and with very dry skin in last few years I tried this just recently. After 3 coats of this I still had skin so flaky it was very visible.I went back to my Nature's Gate herbal moisturizer which seems to work better than anything I've found so far.

Bunnies by the Bay
|
This bunny buddy blanket is softer than the other buddy blankets, Bunnies by the Bay offer. My daughter absolutely adore this blanket. The soft velour fabric is soft and the satin underside and trim is even better. Rutabaga's head and arms are luxurious. I would definately buy this again.

Inaccurate readings
|
My child was sick with a fever I used this thermometer because it quickly gave a reading. But when she did not feel the least bit warm and it showed her temp over 101. I checked it again and it said 99. I am needing a thermometer to be accurate and consistent! This product does not meet my standards.

Did Not Hold A Charge
|
I was very disappointed in this battery. It will not hold a charge for any length of time. I have bought off brand batteries before and decided to give this one a try since the Sony battery is so expensive. In this case it would have been better to spend the extra money for the Sony.

a volume of substandard articles
|
I was required to purchase this textbook for a class and almost immediately upon opening it felt as though I'd been cheated. This book is a collection of articles/essays on various topics, most of which had little to do with the class I was taking. If you are interested in a woman's lengthy description of her reading choices throughout the years or agree that teenage girls should be encouraged by their teachers to be promiscuous, this will be the book for you. If not, look elsewhere.

Falling Into You
|
Celine Dion makes music like no one else can. This is the CD that spawned the number one hit Because You Loved Me- and if that isn't enough to make you want to buy this, I don't know what is. That is an incredible song and so are the other thirteen. Other hits such as All By Myself(amazing) and It's All Coming Back To Me Now also contribute to the vitality of this disc. Two other great songs that I just can't get enough of are Make You Happy and Call The Man. Call The Man is an awesome faith song and it's not one of those crazy yell-at-the-top-of-your-lungs gospel things either. Her vocals are amazing on this one as with the entire CD. I mean, what else is there to say? Everything Celine Dion makes is worth buying.

Olivia, the vocalist
|
While promoting this album in 1989, Olivia appeared on a TV show with Dionne Warwick. During the show, Dionne said how Olivia's voice could be defined : clear as crystal. And that's exactly what this CD showcases : Olivia Newton-John's crystal clear voice.Hitting wonderful high notes in such a soft way, Olivia delivers standards such as "Over the rainbow" or "Reach out for me" with that special quality that makes her so unique. My favorite tracks on this are, by far, "You'll never walk alone" and "When you wish upon a star" - these always give me goosebumps...Originally intended for her then 3 year old daughter, this CD is a perfect gift for moms-to-be, or just simply a wonderful gift, either for yourself or for someone else...

Mozart is supposed to be one of the greatest and most prolific composers...well...he starts to wear a little thin here! His operas and orchestrals are wonderful, but if you want the most prosaic pieces of music of all time, try these quartets. (I never regreted switching to viola so much until Mozart and the cello part isn't any better).

Unnatural
|
The video totally blocks out audio speech, replacing it with music instead. While it's true that this does forcee the viewer to rely solely on visual cues for lipreading, a viewer who really wants to do that can just turn off the TV's sound instead. For someone who uses hearing aids or a cochlear implant, and relies on the audio cues they give, the effect of this video is unnatural.I bought this video in hopes it would give me LISTENING practice for my new cochlear implant, the same as I was doing with the "I See What You Say" video. It proved to be utterly useless for this purpose.

FFN

Eric Schlossers' Fast Food Nation, was one of the greatest books I have ever read. Schlosser first outlines the given topic, then puts it into real life perspecitve while managing to explain who, what, when, where, and most explicitly why and how. Reading this book made me think about labor and quality from an economic view and then again from a moral view. Fast Food Nation is organized and explained very clearly. In my personal opinion this should be mandatory school reading, and anyone who hasn't read this book yet, should at least give it a shot.

Interesting Insight
|
Thomas Fleming is a historian that has written this account using primary documents. In this book he describes how General George Washington kept the ragged Continental Army intact in Pennsylvania during the winter of 1777-1778. He argues that after the British captured Philadelphia, Washington's rivals conspired to have him removed but he "outmaneuvered his political enemies and rescued the Revolution from extremism." I could not put the book down once I started reading.

Awesome

If you're a fan of thier earlier work you'd have to be the most boring idiot in the world to find this album short of great. If you are new to Faith No More expect nothing but great songs and dont go in thinking you will hear one kind of music. Faith No More have always changed thier sound and to assume for one second this album is lacking takes a really screwed up ear. Faith No More was never anyones band but thier own to do with as they please. The most nonconventional band that ever was next to any else of Mike Pattons off the rocker projects(if you like Faith No More try Tomahawk and Mr. Bungle(Mike Patton is lead vocals of both bands).Its almost disturbing that errogant music puritans have so much to say about a band that had so much damn fun. You think they'd listen to music to loosten rather then tighten up.

Very descriptive
|
I read this book as part of my 'A' level french course, I found it to be difficult in parts but humourous and had very vivid images of Provence. It gave me great view of Provence and when writing my final piece of coursework I had many ideas to base it on. It may take you time at first to get used to the descriptive language but it is well worth reading.

te-di-ous

I had to read this book for my English class, but thank God I didn't have to finish it. It was the most tedious and boring book i have ever picked up. it just went on and on about struggles and the unfairness of the world, blaming everything on the shallow attidudes of white people. The author reminds us on every page of his superiority and frankly, the style of writing is far too dry to be enjoyable. If you like to read about struggles in a report format with solid facts and arrogant statements about superiority because of those struggles, then by all means, read it. It works as well as any prescription sleepaid, if not better

Excellent Xover
|
When the second of my Crown VFX-2 crossovers died a year ago, I went looking for a more modern replacement. The only choice on the market, within reasonable price limitations, was the Pyle.It's given me a year of flawless service, with excellent fidelity and flexible controls (not only variable turnover frequencies, like the Crown, but also very helpful variable level controls which the Crown did not have).I can highly recommend the PYX3X for any biamped or triamped system.

Zune Gear BagThis is a great gear bag there is a place for everthing. It doesn't matter if you have a Zune it would work on just about any MP3 player. I have a Zune 120 and even in its leather kick case it still fits in the gear bag. All the adaptors fit & there's a partition between the player & the adaptors so they wont scatch your player. I highly recommend it. I've already purchased 5 and plan to purchase 3 more! Happy shopping.

This is my favorite book of all time, and I have been an "English major" since I learned how to read! Without preaching, this novel takes the reader to places many have never gone - to the realm of the supernatural. Whitlow combines humor, romance, mystery, and spiritual depth in a very enjoyable way. I recommend this book highly, and look forward to many more books by this author.

Better Than Bounty Huntrees
|
I wasn't surprised to see that this movie was not as good as it looked. To top it off, Drew Berrymore starred in it and this was the most disappointing thing. I expected her to do better. She is such a beutiful and talented actress and to see her waste her time off this mess is a shame. But I do admit, it is much better than the first one, and I can't blame Drew Berrymore much because the story line sucks. I am so disappointed in the Bounty Huntress films and I am glad than I only spent a few dollars on them.

I ordered the the wipers and they were shipped to me on Jan 7. 2010. They were delivered on Jan 14 2010. I installed them on my truck on Jan 29, 2010. I washed my truck today and noticed the rubber had already seperated from the wiper. When I checked I am out of the time frame to return them for replacement. Save your money and go buy a cheap set. They would last longer than these wipers do.

Was apparently written for Windows 3.1
|
This software is unbelievably bad. It appears to have been written for Windows 3.1, as it cannot deal with anything but 8.3 filenames. The Okay button for many dialogs is absolutely huge and placed behind text entry fields -- must be seen to be believed.The installer hangs at 99% or 100% under WinXP for at least 8 minutes, then proceeds. It never exits, though, and must be killed with task manager.I got this software bundled in the Money 2003 Suite, and paid a little extra to get it. Don't know how I'm going to get my money back for it.

Review of Arrow Plastic 60 cube ice tray
|
The Arrow Plastic 60 cube ice tray makes ice that is a perfect size. It's small enough to eat by itself and big enough to cool down drinks quickly. As mentioned with other commenters, I am very glad that I bought two trays. One will only fill half to 2/3 of a 16 ounce glass. I have been using the trays for a month and have not had any problems with them cracking. The plastic appears to be very durable. I would recommend these trays for anyone who likes smaller ice cubes in their drinks.

Spawn: The Ultimate Video Collection
|
Excellent collection from the HBO animated series. First selection introduces the audience to the central plot and key characters, as well as setting the tone for the rest of the videos in the package. Second selection picks up where the first leaves off, though seemed to lack the excitement of the first. Third selection brings back the intensity of the first, as well as twisting the plot and bringing it to a climax while leaving us wanting more. Don't necessarily have to be familiar with the "Spawn" story to enjoy this package. Can't wait for the forth season! NOT SUGGESTED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13!

DISAPPOINTED!
|
The whole story was actually pretty boring. It had it's moments, but it was the worst book I read so far on Connie Mason. The main point in the story was that Blade was being discriminated beacause he was a indian and because of this, he and Shannon could not be together. And even after they had gotten married, the discrimination included Shannon. It was more on the indian heritage of being outcasted by the white society than a romance novel. I thought Shannon and Blade lusted after each other than felt any love toward each other.

We fell in love with this bassinet the miniute we saw it. It's beautiful natural wood and mello colors... and lets face it , it's eddie bauer, it has to be quality! WRONG!My son hates this. The pad is so thin, I'm not sure why they even bother with it. The music option it awful. It sounds like when you have a blown speaker in your car but still turn up the radio as loud as it goes (or am I the only one who does that?)You have to rock it yourself. And locking it in place doesn't completely lock it, it still moves a bit.I finaly went out and got a different one and now my son sleeps a lot better ( we are still working on getting a full night of sleep!)I know that it's beautful, but consider a different option!

Just what I needed
|
I needed a shredder that would shred lawn and garden debris. I did not need a large machine as anything with any diameter to it, I cut into firewood. As some reviews said, it does not do well with green material, so I simply let it dry out. I've clogged it a few times, but as I learn the machine, operator error tends to decrease. It is exactly what I was looking for, it is relatively quiet and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Also, I followed the instructions the one gentleman put in his review and had no problem putting it together. If you are looking for a small inexpensive shredder for lawn/garden debris, this is it!!!

I bought this model and the LGC4 for my living room. They work GREAT!!!

A Must Have
|
I read this book back in 1997, when I was still struggling to decide which major to take in college.This book is one of those rare books that left a mark on my life, a very prominent mark. I have it still on my bookshelf, I tend to glance in it sometimes, reminding myself the long path I've taken since.It's more of an attitude adjustment than actual time-management systems. I didn't take everything in this book as it was written, but I also didn't avoid trying out every single idea there.Finding greater meaning for life through continuous learning and leaving a legacy - these two were the key concepts that got me on the right track and kept bringing me back when I was hitting rock bottoms and got depressed. These questions that Covey keeps asking thorough out the whole book, they're not there for nothing - ponder and hard think about them. You'll discover so many aspects of yourself you had no idea of.I think this book should be on any university course's read list.

Wow. God-awful. It's AMAZING they can sell and win so easily.

I thought "Beautiful Day" was a good track, 'cause it's got some energy, but when you listen, his vocal is buried, because his range is GONE. Then, I thought "When I Look At The World" was gonna be OK, but his voice cracks, and he misses some notes. Last, on "Grace" he's flat. (They were the only mildly-promising songs!) Like other reviewers said--too much booze and cigarettes. But WHY and HOW does it SELL and WIN like it does? Unfathomable. Pet Shop Boys foreshadowed it YEARS ago on "How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously," after parodying "Where The Streets Have No Name:" "DO YOU THINK THEY'LL PUT YOU IN THE ROCK-N-ROLL HALL OF FAME?"!!!

Linked by amazon to Northern tool for this product I found that you do not get the clamps as pictured. Upon calling Horthern Tool I was told to send the filters back as they must be packed short. 10 days later I received a replacement filter set and still did not receive any clamps. Calling Northern Tool again, and having another conversation, I was told they would have to get a vendor response to this issue. That was 2 months ago. No word from anyone. Fourty dollars later I feel I have been totally screwed.

Great camera, terrible reliability
|
After waiting several months diligently reviewing the digital cameras available in the marketplace, I finally purchased the SD400 near the end of May. Initially, I was very happy with this camera - it seems to have the perfect combination of size, picture quality, and battery life. Unfortunately, the LCD screen on my camera cracked just a couple weeks ago, even though I've always kept the camera in its protective case. I was upset with myself, because I felt that perhaps I must have damaged it somehow, but a little research on the internet (enter "canon cracked lcd" into any search engine) indicates that this is a design flaw with the entire Canon SD series. Even worse, Canon refuses to acknowledge this as a real issue and continues to fight every customer who tries to claim a warranty repair, claiming that they must have damaged the camera somehow. Until Canon improves their product or customer service, I would recommend buying another camera.

After the first track, this album goes downhill fast.

I liked his last solo album, but he needs to try harder from now on.

Good book and good man, but add meat and you'll smile more!
|
I believe this guy's heart is in the right place. But if he wants to help folks with this book, he really needs more recipes, and less convincing that he's the second coming.I make $30k~$50k per year, and find his plans to be very costly. What I've had to do is take parts of his recipes, add a little Better Than Bouillon, and a very little bit of lean meat, and enjoy.I find the book to be a good read, and also find Dr. Fuhrman to be right on, with most of it. Wether he's a 100% right or 50% right, he's making an effort to help others in the best way he can.This is more then most others have done. Thanks!

Worst coffee maker

I bought the keurig about 2 years ago and without fail the company has had to send me a new one every 6 months. The brewer works great for about 1 to 2 months and then goes down hill from there. Read all the reviews, look at the time frame the people have owned them! The good reviews are from the people who have owned them for 2 months or less! They have sent me 4....thats right 4!!!! replacement brewers and all do the same thing! Customer service has to go through the same process every time, I think I know them by name now. They defend this piece of junk and the bad ratings by saying they sell so many of them that they have to expect some problems....really....YOU ARE CHARGING $160 BUCKS!!!!! This brewer is a piece of crap....look at the Hamilton Beach instead....SignedKeurig Sucks!

One of the best portable DVD hardware decoders for low CPU utilization
|
This card works well under Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and even XP! I used it with several notebook computers for output VCD, DVD or MPEG videos to TV. Since it's a hardware based decoder, the image quality and video performance is excellent. It reduces the CPU usage to about 5%! Compare that to the 60 to 95% CPU usage of a software-based DVD decoder like PowerDVD or WinDVD. Having the lower CPU usage allows me to work on other CPU-intensive applications at the same time while watching a movie. It is a great addition to any PC card enabled notebook computer.

The best I've seen!
|
I think BBC did a remarkable job on this documentary just as they did in the Planet Earth series.David Attenborough's narration is timeless. I particularly enjoyed the episode on Fish. The bits on the flyingfish was filmed in Trinidad & Tobago which is where I'm from.A definite addition to my blu-ray collection!

Kindle reader - 6" display
|
I am basically happy with the device. I twould be nice if it had a feature to archive a book after readind it, or at least to move it in a separate cataglog catagory so it would be seperated from the books yet to be read.

Sorry, I couldn't give it 0 stars

Graphics: Are something to be desired. Think glitchy blocks for player models who can't move their mouth when they talk. Look at Unreal Tournament made YEARS before this sniper game yet graphics are superior.Sound: Nothing special.Gameplay: This is one of those horrible 'set' games. By that, I mean there is no variation in the storyline. No matter what you say in reply to people in this game, they always give the same answer, adding no variation to the storyline. Ending is pretty bad too.Worth It?: No. If you could download it from the Internet, might not be so bad, but if you are intending to spend any amount of money on this game, you are crazy. I was lucky, because I bought it for $$$ and sold it for $$$.

Micra Multitool
|
I ordered two of these tools as stocking stuffers for my sons at Christmas. They were pleased with the tool and used it that morning to help open the packaging of the other gifts they received.They have pocket knives but they both said that they like this little tool better than their other knives.

What the Bleep Do We Know!?
|
It is an interesting view of the universe. It is a mix of string theory, quantum physics and theology. It is suprising that so many concepts could be thrown together and actually achieve a mix.Missing however is a central theme. It starts out to prove a point and two thirds of the way through the presentation forgets it. The special effects are very well done and will provoke some thought.

Bag did not fit.
|
Bag looked like it was reasonably well made, but it was an inch too small and would not fit on the frame. I sent it back to the vendor and asked for a replacement or a refund, and have heard nothing. $35 down the drain.

A Better Slicer
|
I had the plastic version of this for a number of years and really thought it was great -- until it broke. After seeing the stainless one on Amazon I figured that it would be a good investment in durability. I have found the stainless steel one to be much easier to use than the plastic version. The stainless blade cuts through the pineapple much better than the plastic blade did. This was good purchase and I plan to buy one as a gift also.

English Subtitles for Spanish Speakers? (No "Off" option)
|
A small complaint: Knowing that there is a vast amount of Spanish speakers in the United States, why, Focus Features, didn't you create an option to turn the English subtitles off? Moreover, why didn't you also add Spanish subtitles for the Spanish-speaking hearing impaired?In the Languages Menu, under the Subtitles options, the only choices are "French" or "None." If you select "None" you get English subtitles.I'm complaining because you could've made a good DVD much better for a very, very small cost and satisfied the majority of your demographic in the process.You guys need to give me a job.

HP 6945 Excellent, but slow

It is everything you need on a phone-PDA. It is light and the functionality is easy and better designed than the earlier versions.The only thing that I could say negative to the 6945 is that sometime is slow on heavy usage.

This book wasn't that great
|
I read the sample and liked the story enough to buy the book on my kindle. I wish I hadn't to be honest, what a waste of $9.99. Where the first chapter was decent, it really started to lag in the middle and toward the end. The characters were flat, the story ended ridiculously and where is the story telling? The author didn't go into details on anything. Also the magical fight scene at the end was laughable at best. I was very disappointed with this book and will not read any of her other work.

Resident Evil fans need not apply
|
This movie was not at all like the game. They put a big twist on the first resident evil, by putting the members of s.t.a.r.s. under ground instead in the mansion where they belong. The movie added new members to s.t.a.r.s. that did not exist. The movie had a horrible storyline, of Jill Valentine waking up in the shower and dicovering that she was a member of s.t.a.r.s.. The original story was that Jill, Chris, Barry and Wesker were forced to stay in the mansion because there helicopter pilot abandoned them. The only thing from the game that the movie had right was the zombies. This movie only desreves 2 stars because first it was a bad movie and secondly it was not true to the original story. I hope that the sequel is true to Resident evil three.

No inovation
|
I found the book to be, boring uncompelling and superficial. I just finished the elenium and the tamuli before getting into this one. Those where already deeply dissapointing but this.... Truth be told Eddings does not know how to burry a character... For those who've read both elenium and tamuli it is fairly obvious that the little eleria is the godess aphrael all over again, down to the little kisses. The depth of the characters is stunningly superficial not to mention boring. As was said in a former review, the most irritating feature in this book is most certainly the repetition of things explained and explained again. I struggle myself through this series because I bought it and because quite frankly at this point I haven't got any other to read... but for those who haven't bought it yet, it's a waste of money and time if you are looking for the finly tuned characters and plots of the belgariad and the mallorean... I hope you find your writer's strenght again david

Huge disappointment
|
I've played all of the CSI games and the three L&O games prior to this one and, man, was I let down by this. It's a huge resource hog - it took almost 10 minutes to install the thing and it took even longer to uninstall it. When the installation is complete it automatically sends a registration (to whom and with what information is unknown - a major privacy violation) without giving the opportunity to say no. The game play isn't intuitive at all and doesn't follow the same conventions established in the earlier offerings. The PDA thing is a pain in the [...], there's no right-click functionality, limited options in terms of configuration (cannot play it in other than full screen), and NO INSTRUCTIONS! Not happy at all with this.

Overpriced
|
It is made from a very thin cheap piece of poly fabric that is folded in half and overlock stitched along the outside edge to keep the fabric from fraying. The ends of the overlock stitch are not well done and will unravel. The headband is 40" long and about 2.5" wide. The sticker price of about $3 is fair enough I suppose, but after adding shipping it is just way too much to pay for what you get.

A Great How To Manual For The Newbie
|
I very much enjoy Robert Bly. He is very giving and encouraging. I took notice of Bly in the acknowledgements in Peter Bowerman's The Well Fed Writer. Later other freelancers mentioned his books, including the Copywriter's Handbook and Selling Your Services. This book offers specific advice from that latter book. It is advice, ideas, suggestions, and reccomendations that represent real thininking from an experienced and well seasoned professional.He is very encouraging. His advice on fees and samples is priceless. The book has already paid for itself.The only waknesses are that this book is the opinion of oone person. It is not a survey book or a book culled from interviews of scores of professionals. Knowing this, his perspective on networking is understandable. He's overly critical but I know others for whom it is an effective strategy.

I Hated This Book!
|
I picked this up from a friend. She thought that I might be interested because of my knowledge of the Catholic Church and a passing interest in science fiction. I Hated This Book! Characters are introduced, developed, and dismissed - dying almost off stage. There is inexplicable brutality and chaotic leaps of faith. I cannot think of a book that I liked less. I forced myself to finish The Sparrow assuming that there would be some redemptive conclusion. I was sadly wrong. I cannot discourage you strongly enough to avoid this book. I have no idea why it gained a measure of success and popularity. It is not good science fiction. It is not interesting ethically, philosophically, or theologically. I did not find it to be particularly well-written.

A shrill and screaming sophomore release with no hits - BOO!
|
I am still in disbelief! I loved Avril's first CD - so much, that I've listened to it for over a year! I purchased this CD and was shocked! Shocked that is plain and simply STINKS! There are NO HITS on this CD. Avril's shrill and shreiking songs are poorly written and produced. There is absolutely NO PERSONALITY on this CD, NONE!!I think this album could set a new record...Quickest from release to the $.99 bin!! Two thumbs down for this lemon!!

Best for all over the world - fm a new mom in Hong Kong!!
|
I was very desired to buy it since many positive comments on this carrier. My only 1 concern is the price ... but now I proved my choice is right! It is very easy to use & handy. I can relese 2 hands to hold things when shopping around. I thk a stroller cannot be compared with it unless that is a super light-weight stroller (3.6kg - 5kg) such as the Japanese brand COMBI or MANTEN. The only 1 thing I'm not satisfied is, it cant be used for hours since it makes wrinkles on BB's body. Thus, it is no good to let newborn BB to be in a sitting position for too long.

Right product at the right price
|
This is a great little wine rack for folks like us who keep a little wine on hand, but are not wine connoisseurs by any means. The unit is compact enough to easily fit in a corner in our kitchen, but large enough to hold 12 bottles of wine. It may not be the most stylish thing, but it's unobtrusive and gets the job done.

Obsolete

Only correctly works with Windows XP - how laughable. Even more absurd is Polycom support's communication regarding this laziness forcing regular users to secretly upload beta versions of Vista drivers to RapidShare in order to help other people try and get this to work. Also, (obviously I guess) echo cancellation only works with Skype. If there ever was a one-trick pony, this is it.

Horrible product!
|
First time I used this mixer was on cake batter. It smelled like it was burning up. I hoped that it was because it was new and whatever it was would wear off. If you have it on a high speed it is WAY too fast and sounds like a small jet plane. The burning smell continues and it barely has any power on any setting other than the highest setting but that setting is so fast that it flings things everywhere. I am throwing it out because I waited too long to send it back. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Purchase Monster iClean Instead
|
I purchased iKlear with a new Apple Macbook. I was not pleased with the product. It comes with three cloths and it is unclear which cloth is for what. Additionally, I found it difficult to get a streak-free clean of the LCD screen.I just purchased and recieved Monster's iClean from Amazon. It is a fantastic product. Easy to use (only one cloth), no streaks, and costs less.

Break No Bones

Excellent in the vain of all Kathy Reichs books, not quite as good as "Cross Bones", but all together excellent. The reader was hard to get into, for me the reader on the Audio Books, is very important and this one was not as good as the person who has read all her other books.
