1	Good Guide For Many	If you know your stuff (very good in the field you are moving into) and you manage people, resources, and time well, then you don't need this book at all. But if you are lacking in any of those areas, this book serves as a good guide.It uses charts and graphs, but not in a uselessly complex way. The author uses enough anecdotes to keep things interesting while illustrating concepts.It is relatively concise and maintains its focus - serving as a combination "how-to guide" and a checklist for making an occupational transition.It's worth a read if you are "making the move" and you seek guidance, advice, and perhaps a little re-assurance.	positive
1	Excellent!	The book was in excellent condition, the edition restored some errors that were in previous editions. I have been lugging it around everywhere and it's still excellent. The book itself is one of those books that you can read many times over and still find new, and fresh things to wonder at. I read it once a year and as I change the book changes too, as I understand more and more of the text. As a student studying literature at Uni at the moment, the message that can be found in it is timeless and enduring; but that message is for the reader alone to find.	positive
1	Does the job!	I've used this can crusher for several months, and it is holding up well and doing a good job. The previous unit I owned, which I purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond,the metal arms became bent and the unit was unusable after only a few weeks use. This unit has a much more sturdy design and is easy to operate. I would definitely recommend it.	positive
0	Ineffective	There may be some place in the care of cats that these gloves are useful, but they certainly were ineffective in removing loose hair on my cats. The bumps are very small and really don't do much of anything. I am able to remove more loose hair with my hand while petting a cat than I could get these gloves to do.	negative
1	Sound and mic good for pice	I have a Plantronics set costing double the price of this set, so that is the benchmark I use for rating the Logiteh 350. I agree with the other reviewers, the earphones are a little tight, and I, too, found part of the issue was my reading glasses under my ears. Moving the glasses frames up fixed most of that problem.The audio and mic qualities of this headset are a good value for the money. The Plantronics set I own (cost about $80 when I bought them, and are the folding travel set) have better fidelity and do not squeeze as tightly, but you get what you pay for. One thing I didn't like about the Plantronics is the very large DSP casing. The Logitec headset is not a portable, but it actually stows well for travel, as it doesn't have the "large" DSP case the Plantronics has.Bottom line: very good value for the money, I use them everyday to video Skype with a friend overseas. If you don't want to pay double this for a high-end set, then I would recommend these.	positive
1	Star Wars love	Great price for a great set. The quality on the blu rays left much to be desired. The picture isn't as crisp as I would have liked, but the sound is always top notch. If you like Star Wars and you can't stand DVD quality anymore, get this. Don't ask questions, just get it if you love Star Wars	positive
0	Charger did not work for RAZR	This charger looks like a Motorola charger, but when it was attached to a Motorola RAZR phone it said that it was not an authorized charger and did not work.	negative
0	not proofread	I would not have purchased this book if I had previewed it. It is full of misspellings and poor grammar. If I pay money for a book, I expect it to have been proofread. I found it to be like reading someone's email story. Simple vocabulary. I couldn't believe Amazon would sell such a thing.	negative
0	Small Image when played on a widescreen TV	The DVD manufacturer did it again. When played on a widescreen TV, there is a big black bar all the way around the picture. The reason for this is the 16:9 image is in the middle of a 5:4 caption ratio frame. So, you still have to wait for the studios to produce this film in true widescreen full screen.	negative
0	Disappointed	I enjoy the Newman's Own Pretzels on a regular basis and decided to start buying them by the case as my local grocery store stopped carrying them. The first two cases I bought from a different distributor were fine, however in the last case I purchased from Amazon, all the pretzels tasted stale, although the bags weren't out of expiration and didn't appear to be opened. I was very disappointed with this batch.	negative
1	Perfect, Entertaining and Educational	My son has been watching this video intently ever since he was one years old. He is now 22 months old and still loves it! Move over Baby Einstein! There's a better video out there! I highly recommend this!	positive
1	A complete tennis guide	This book is perfect for the beginner and expert alike. It starts off by reviewing the basic strokes, and then goes into details like startegy, competion, and even pschology. Overall an excellent tennis primer.	positive
0	Amazon "Drivway Patrol" review	I bought and tried two of these. Both would not activate alarm if inside house. The distance from sender was less than150 feet. Worked fine if alarm was om open front porch. Signal could not go through wall or glass. For me ,it was useless.	negative
1	Great little pliers	Great little pliers by the company that specializes in this style. No complaints. Very small, but useful.	positive
1	Drop 2 and get the new	With the departure of the original guitarists, Decide creates one of their best albums to date. There is a real different feel to the album, even thought eh listener can be sure deicide is cutting away when its turned up. The solos and bridges are very well blended. There was great work on this album. Its intensity can't be reached without going back to the first few albums.	positive
0	bad connection soon after purchase	The design for this is terrible. The end of the USB cord going to the pad sticks out at least an inch, so it's really easy to bump it if you use your laptop on your lap. A few bumps and the connection inside the pad becomes faulty. If you try to keep using the pad, you have to move the cord around to find "sweet spots" so that the pad gets its power. This is very annoying, and there doesn't seem to be any simple way to fix it.	negative
1	Not bad	I bought this with the Bostitch reconditioned compressor, and happy I did. Comes in handy with other tools. Had I seen a kit with more brass fittings, I probably would have gotten that instead, but this is sufficient.	positive
1	Perfect Gift	These books are so wonderful to read. My 11 year old daughter loves to read "set" and this set was perfect for her.	positive
0	Did not work	Computer with Vista could not see HP5100c scanner through this cable. Computer with XP went to blue screen when scanner was installed with this cable. Same computer with XP operated the scanner through a serial cable.	negative
0	I see this is selling for $1.68 Used (that's too much)	I want the time in my life that Michal Moore took from me. Truth about Terrorism - This film isn't truth about anything.	negative
0	no tan cómica como las otras de Segura	La compré creyendo que era tan buena como la trilogía de Santiago Segura: "Torrente" ,pero no me pareció tan buena y es muy pesada.	negative
1	Great	Not only is the music great, but the videos are great also. Inventive with excellent production.	positive
1	Great Medical Dictionary	This Medical Dictionary was more than I hoped it would be. It is easy to use with the thumb index and pictures. It is a great addition to my medical billing and coding books. This is a must have for anyone going into a medical field of any kind. I looked at several others and I am so glad I purchased this one. It has been a life saver for me with my classes.	positive
0	Dissapointed	Lucky for me I didn't buy this, but saw it in theaters, and I thought it was horrible. I thought this would be THE BEST movie ever, because I liked the book, but trust me, it's NOT. Somehow, whoever wrote this managed to totally rearange the book so it didn't make sense, then made a movie. As such, I sadly give this a mere 2 stars.	negative
0	The title it's too much for this book	I can't say this book is a waste of time, but at least for me it was, when you read a title like "The Ultimate Windows 2000 System Administrator Guide", you think it's going to be a great book, but this one is far from being great, I wanted something more explicit, by this I mean I wanted more theory and what I did get was only screen shots, this is totally useless for me, the only utility I find for the book it's as a paperweight, you know what I mean, if you want to waste some time, buy this book it won't disapoint you in this respect.	negative
1	19" Tall Dog	We got this crate for our 19" tall (at the withers) Harrier. She is about 50 pounds and it fits in there comfortably. Very easy to assemble and it comes with a divider in case you have a puppy. We have not traveled with it yet, but the way it came packed was quite promising. We recommend it.	positive
1	Good Clear Practical Advice	For the novice stand-up comic, Greg Dean's book is a great introduction to the craft. He writes clearly and authoritatively, a by-product of his passion and dedication to the career and life of a stand-up comic. He offers useful tips and advice from constructing a zippy one-liner to handling a microphone to massaging the waitstaff.While Greg Dean's book gives novices a heads-up, the real teachers are failed jokes, bored audiences, crass hecklers, and empty showrooms -- and Greg Dean does new comics a service by being very honest about this.	positive
0	You get what you pay for...	I bought this printer because I wanted high quality photo printing and I didn't need any of the bells and whistles that come with more expensive printers. It's a Canon, so I figured I could count on the photo quality. I was terribly disappointed though. I generally buy Staples brand photo paper for general photo printing, and it always worked fine with my Epson printer. But my first prints on this printer looked dull and muddy -- like I was looking at the images though a mild but annoying grey/brown haze. So I went out and bought Canon paper instead. The quality was somewhat improved, but still not what I had expected. So yes, I got a printer for under $30, but now to get even passably OK prints, I need to spend a fortune on Canon brand inks and paper. Not much of a bargain.	negative
0	Disappointed	I was never so disappointed in a product as I was in this. It didn't do anything for m husband and I had such high hopes!	negative
0	What a bitter dissapointment!	I cannot even begin to explain the dissapointment that I have with this box set.Like a previous review said before me, this is basically a recycled "Box Of Dreams" with a few added tracks and different style packaging. This box set had so much potential to be a wonderful gift but that potential was completely blown by merely including almost all of her regular studio album tracks and still excluding non-album tracks. Each of the four discs has enough space left for several more tracks and the leftover space could've been used to make a separate disc for a B-Sides disc.This is a great box set but Warner Brothers completely blew it with this release!!	negative
1	Wonderful!	This is a great movie! My parents were on the set. Most of this movie was filmed in Hudson, Ohio. The house, which was not a sound stage, is a real house located next to W.R.A.	positive
0	beware if you have sensitive skin	Like many here I loved it for 6 months then developed a horrible rash. Unlike others here, the rash isn't going away, and I'm going to have to go to the doctor to get it checked out.	negative
1	easy access	I love it, can take it anywhere, not as bulky or heavy as taking the book, it takes up less space having it on the kindle	positive
1	Ugly George Inspires Teen-Age Boys!	Young Alex Fader has to come-of-age sometime and give up mindless video games in order to Chase Chicks...and what better way to do this than watch "The Ugly George Hour Of Truth,Sex & Violence"on NYC cableTV? My show was the Learning Curve for thousands of young boys wanting to know about those mysterious & wonderful creatures known as "goils", so Alex et al. matured from it. Maybe if Michael Jackson had seen it he wouldn't be on trial now, but Jax can soon see vidclips from it @ www.uglygeorge.com Tom Beller is taking notes again!	positive
1	Big Black Caddy	I still am hooked on Perry's great rides...This one starts right off with a 1959 Caddilac Convertable.Strangly missing the front windshield?Great outfits and decorations.So cool to see the 50s first hand.	positive
0	cheezy old outdated	This is nothing, and obsolete when compared to others like Heroes Of M&M. So old it was irritating to play.	negative
1	Father Goose	This is a movie classic. It stars Cary Grand and Leslie Caron. It is a comedy about a drifter living out in the south pacific who gets corralled into being a plane spotter for the British Navy during World War II. But to ad insult to injury, he finds himself saddled with a woman and her clutch of schoolgirls who got stranded out there too. The movie is hilarious and good for all ages.	positive
1	Great replacement and these have the tightening screw Ford should have installed at the Factory.	Can't beat the price. Buying new on Amazon is likely cheaper than buying garbage at a junk yard. These really do look 99% identical to the OEM Ford originals. The one minor difference I found is that the pivot point is on the leading edge of the mounting base, whereas the original mirrors are the opposite. These are better, because the mirror sits further from the driver. That's a good thing, since Ford mounted the mirros too far back on the door to begin with. I'd give them 5 stars, but the manufacturer packs them way too tightly in a cardboard box with zero protection (plastic baggie, etc.). Both of my new mirrors have visible scuffs in the plastic finish from moving around in the box. Not bad enough to bother sending them back. Otherwise, these are fantastic. Great value.	positive
0	Greasy and Disgusting!	I was so excited to receive these bars as I had tried other flavors before and absolutely loved them! When I received this item, I noticed the outer box which contained the bars looked a bit "greasy." I opened the wrapper to a greasy, oily bar, and was immediately hit with the pungent smell of what could only be described as old coconut scented sunblock. Disgusting!! My husband who is adventurous, decided to give the bar a try...he spit it right out, and ran to rinse his mouth out! He said it stung his mouth and tasted acidic and rancid! The bars we recieved had an expiration date of 12/12, which is far from accurate, if I could give negative stars I absolutely would!!!	negative
0	Tuner quit working after two months	Worked great for the first two months, then the tuner quit functioning. I would change the channel and the station numbers would change, but it had no effect on the actual reception. I would just get a mix of random stations and a lot of static. It is now useless.I strongly recommend not to buy.	negative
1	It works, and it doesn't take much.	It's been decades since I polished my nails, but I recently found my old chamois buffer and decided to buy some cream. This is the cream I bought. Merely a hint of polish on each nail does the job. Whatever the particle size (grit) within the cream, it certainly worked very well for me. Doubt I'll run out of this in the next few years, but if I do, I'll come back for more.	positive
1	Can you guess who the arsonist is??	Megan really keeps the suspense building throughout this book. I changed my mind about who the arsonist was at least four times! She creates believeable characters and holds them true to form. Indeed, an enjoyable read.	positive
0	Fujiplus IS NOT Fuji	Fujiplus is a deceptive brand name owned by Min Maw International in Taiwan. Sometimes retailers would mistakenly label it as Fuji Plus. (Amazon lists it under Electronic/Brands/Fuji). Fujiplus or Fuji Plus has nothing to do with Fuji. If the deceptive tactic does not turn you off, I have a Sunny Weega HDTV to sell to you cheap.	negative
0	Same zipper problem with bag	I guess then I will have to order more than one bag to replace the replacement bag when it too breaks prematurely.	negative
0	I'm sorry . . .	I just couldn't get past page 59. Seemed a bit boring and just didn't seem to grab me. Plus I have to wonder if Lucas is such a gentleman then why would he be so willing to leave a woman that can be proven as his wife to go back to a woman that was just a fiancee?	negative
0	Mad Skillz has no skills	Absolutely the worst investment that I have ever made! I listen to rap when I party and really like all of it but skillz doesn't impress me! However,I did like the track that he made with Timbaland! If your into hip-hop check Tim's bio out	negative
1	Very cute and fun	My 3 and half year old daughter loved these for bath time. The product came with enough pieces to make 2 whole kids (1 boy and 1 girl) plus accessories. However, The only con is that it included 1 extra shirt and 1 extra pair of shoes - wished it would have included an extra bottom, also.	positive
1	I love it	I guess I'm a bit of a geek and I just love the character of Gollum in The lord of the Rings movies and in The Hobbit. At the same time I think Andy Serkis is a brilliant actor, with a bit of nice humor - so this book is just a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look of how this character was made. Normally I don't like to read books, but this is brilliant, informative and funny.Would recommend it to any LOTR & Hobbit fans who are interested in knowing a bit more about how it was made.	positive
0	So silly	I'm new to this type of book but the first I read was Lee Child's "The Hard Way" featuring his loner hero Jack Reacher and after that this book was an incredible let down. Implausible plotting and idiot characters was my main problem. This is set in rural Georgia and I didn't buy it. Seriously- one of the main protaganists has been raped by a jesus freak, her twin sister was killed and she was being abused by her ex-skinhead boyfriend and she had an abortion. She's also a police detective. Yeah- dopey.	negative
0	Surprisingly Disappointed!	I LOVE Nora Roberts and have read (and mostly kept) all of her books. I usually devour a Nora Roberts book within a day or so. I could NOT get into this story at all! It did not keep my attention or enthusasum at all....kept trying to read it, stopped frequently...came back to it a day later and eventually I skipped pages (not something I normally do) and toward the middle to end I just couldn't take it anymore. I skipped more, got the just and gave up. That is something that I've NEVER done with a Nora Roberts book before or since.	negative
1	Just Like It Says	The instructions are clear and the product works as claimed. What else could you want?The only minor issue I had was that the ring connectors need about 1.5 inches of space because the ring and the wire leading into it don't flex. It took me a few minutes to get the live wire and the ground cable situated under my motorcycle seat so that nothing pinched between the seat and the frame.	positive
1	good machine.	this replaces an old workhorse of a welbilt and i like it so far. i do miss the panel telling which part of the cycle you are in, but you can figure it out from the table in the manual. it is nice to have a square loaf instead of the cylindrical and i can bake sweetbreads in this which i never managed to do well in the welbilt. so far, so good.	positive
1	Helpful	The study guide really helped me with my quizzes and exams. Helped to condense the book information into a quick read to ensure understanding of the book's subject matter.	positive
0	Forget it, try Letters at 2 AM instead	I really tried, but couldn't get past the first chapter of this book. I'd picked it up after falling in love with Letters at 2 AM. My theory is that he's a great essayist but not a great novelist. If this is the only one you've tried, don't give up. Check out Letters at 2 AM, a brilliant, honest, collection of essays.	negative
1	a fortunate accident	this stand is what i've been looking for. found it by accident while looking at monitor reviews (samsung 226bw). most lcd monitors are too low and do not have height adjustment, so they really need a stand like this. the portrait mode is a plus. works great with the 22" samsung.	positive
1	Good phone	This phone was expensive for a 2.8 GHZ model, but if you want a Panasonic phone that wall mounts (flat against the wall), this model is the most cost effective way to go. Other Panasonics were clearly made for table-top use only, but this model actually adapts sits flat against the wall.The talking caller ID is nice, but if all of your calls are name-less "Wireless Caller" or "Unknown name" the phone won't alternatively say recite the caller's number, nor will it pick up on a stored nickname from speed-dial memory and recite that instead. All in all it is a good model.	positive
0	I don't get it?	Maybe I'm missing something but these guys are far from some of the comparisons that are being reffered to here. Rush? Riverside? Come on people. I decided to buy this after Amazon referred me here while buying Porcupine Tree's "In Abstensia" (5 Stars BTW)....after reading some of the reviews here I thought I'd give it a shot. Bad Move...Eh. I've listened, or tried to listen several times and can't get past a minute or two of any of the songs. They remind me of a wanna be garage band that just couldn't quite figure it out. Progressive Rock this is not!	negative
0	Flaw design	I bought this one several years ago, the battery life, the features, ease of use, portability and sound quality are all very good. But the biggest flaw was that Panasonic cordless phones will always die after 2 or 3 years, once the warranty is running out. This has been my 4th Panasonic cordless phone, all my other Panasonic phones were running into the same problems and so is this one: the handset lose link to the base and the speaker phones on the handset would die together in about 2 years. I think the company intentional design their cordless phones in this way so that customers can keeping buying their products.	negative
1	Buy for DVD alone	If you like dance and ballet, then get this boxset for the DVD alone. The antics for Prokofiev's 'The Classical Symphony' are entertaining enough. However it's the 40mins or so of the Romeo & Juliet Suite that is so wonderful. This is dancing & choreography of the absolute first rank, a truly wonderful achievement for all those involved.	positive
0	Dies after 2mo.	Just got this thing 2mo ago on the recommendation of a comparison done on channel 12 news.. Replaced another Taylor that I've had for a long time, but only worked in 1/2lb increments and was beginning to look kind of nasty..Got this one, looks beautiful, feels stout, and worked great; and then yesterday POOF, it just goes wacky without any sort of Trauma. Pulled battery out and jammed it back in, nothing changed. Battery was new 2mo ago - pulled the plastic tab out myself - documentation says its supposed to last a long long time..Anyway, sometimes the numbers are all over the place, sometimes always zero and sometimes get an error.. Currently looking into how to swap it out..	negative
0	There are much better options...	This pocket guide is OK for showing you what the tracks look like; however, it doesn't differentiate between walkers, bounders, wide walkers/waddlers and leapers. Nor does it tell you what the stride or straddle is, which is a very important aspect. I instead opted for the Mammal Tracker pocket laminated card from Interpretive Wildlife Programs and blew it up a bit (it's kinda small otherwise) and bring a plastic ruler with me. For decent tracking you need to know 1) how big the prints are, 2) the formation they're in, 3) the length of the stride and 4) the width of the straddle. Of course, a basic understanding of the habits and habitat of the mammals you are tracking goes a long way to narrowing things down. If you aren't sure, lay your ruler down next to the prints and take a picture; then you can study it when you get home. Above all...have fun! Try tracking one set of prints as far as they go; you might get lucky and find a den, lay or the animal itself!	negative
0	DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!	Cuts out constantly... not a good phone at all. I wanted it for my business phone and I cannot even use it because it cuts out all the time for no reason. Even with FULL BARS wifi reception. I promise you that this is the worst phone ever!!	negative
1	Excellent movie - August Rush	Freddie Highmore does an outstanding job in his performance in August Rush. The story plot is portrayed in a believable series of events and Robin Williams also does a good job portraying the semi-villain in this movie. This is a bit of a tear-jerker but pleasant none-the-less and with the inevitable happy ending.	positive
1	My dog loves it	My Chihuahua loves this stuff so much he hops up onto the couch, waiting for his brushing, when he sees me get the tube. I've tried other toothpastes but this is by far the very best I've ever used because my dog doesn't resist the brushing at all. Even my cats like it!	positive
1	A couple questions for everyone.	I happen to own the DVD L-10 and I'm not sure why everyone here happens to think that it has terrible sound when using the speakers. I think the sound is excellent quality. Also could everyone please tell me what better features the L-50 has over the L-10 and if it would be worth it to get the L-50 since I already have the L-10. I definitely think the L-10 was worth every cent I paid for it. My only complaint is as everyone else has said it gets really hot, but that is to be expected. Otherwise it's unbelievable.	positive
1	Too Tasty!	I had purchased a box from our local grocery store here called farmer jacks because they are on sale 10 for $10, and they are To DIE for! If you're a doughnut fan and like chocolate coated ones these are for you! I had the devils food crumb doughnut ones and wished they sold whole boxes of these. No funny aftertaste either.	positive
0	This is NOT a Sawzall!	Nobody every asks for a "reciprocating construction saw" -- they ask for a Sawzall. Neglecting the fact that it's a much more convenient term, you have to realize that the Milwaukee name has been synonymous with these tools for longer than I want to admit knowing about them, and I've never used one in a situation where the convenience of cordless operation would outweigh the need for a REAL power tool. Get aSawzall, or if 11 amps isn't good enough the 13-ampSuper Sawzall. They're famous for a reason. Cheaper too.	negative
0	Not for NT	Almost all of the SQL scripts shown require UNIX scripts for execution. Unless you know how to convert the UNIX scripts to NT this book is not very useful.	negative
0	Awful....	I do not understand how anyone could rate this trite piece of garbage 5 stars. The story was predictable, and the script was boring and forced. The movie had some scenes with shock value, but I didn't watch it to see fourteen year old girls getting undressed, and forcing themselves upon people. I was hoping it would be along the lines of kids, but nowhere near the intensity of that movie. The characters in this movie are two dimensional, which makes the movie even more unbeleivable. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I expected a LOT better from the other reviews I read.	negative
0	No way! Hypothermia risk	I'd not even consider this tent/bivy as it utilizes a cot that has air space underneath. This creates a heat sink where the cot cools until it's the same temp as the outside air (The Zeroeth Law of thermodynamics). That means you lose body heat. This creates a hypothermia danger in the same fashion that hollow air mattresses can. Don't use cots or hollow air mattresses unless ALL your camping is done in summer months, or you're sleeping inside a heated enclosure. Most hypothermia occurs at temperatures between 30 and 50-degrees F. A bivy enclosure that sits on the ground, coupled with a ThermaRest-type open cell self-inflating sleeping pad is the way to go.	negative
0	Don't choose this card if you don't use xp mce	Their software are bad. You cann't even listen to other music when you are recording TV: the program actually always play in the background!And their customer service is bad.	negative
1	Great set!	The set fit our crate very well and makes a cozy place for our dog to sleep. It is good for winter to keep drafts out so I feel like he is warmer. It also makes for a more attractive dog kennel since we keep it in the center of our living area.	positive
1	Excellent choice	If you're looking for a gps for outdoors activities(hiking, climbing, biking) and you also want to combine it using it on the road....this is your choice....light weight, water resistance, routable and memory expandable.....I had etrex legend c....I was very happy with it....but this one is better much more.	positive
1	Beauty and depth.	The musicianship, the songs and Jana's beautiful vocals make this a wonderful and memorable album.	positive
1	Fabulous camera	I had a basic point and shoot digital camera and was missing some great pictures due to the delay. My kids are competitive swimmers and I wasn't able to get action shots even in the sports mode. I decided to upgrade to a SLR. This camera came highly recommended by a local camera shop. It is easy to use. It comes with 2 lenses, the zoom is great. I am amazed at some of the pictures I have taken already. This camera has capabilities beyond what I will use, but I the pictures I have already taken are to be treasured.	positive
1	Captivating Historical Novel. A Gem. Great Summer Read	Not sure I read the same book the other reviewers did. I found Tripp's 2nd novel even better than her first. A unique approach to telling a story weaved with a historical back drop makes for a really good read. The author finds intrigue and depth and great character development. Westport details abound and she grasps many aspects of life at the ti me. I felt like I was there!	positive
0	gave my puppy the runs	My puppy liked the taste of the food, but he had the runs the entire time I fed him Wellness. Never had it before this brand, and as soon as I switched to a different brand, he was fine again. Would not recommend.	negative
0	A Major League Disappointment ....	I'm a big fan of sports games, and this one left me really disappointed. The graphics were only average, and the interface just plain silly -- the "new" batter/pitcher controls were simplistic. When batting, the location cursor (where the pitcher is going to throw) is left on way too long so it's pretty easy to hit the ball solid (I popped this game in and the very first game I played, I won 25-5). I thought that maybe it would get better on the harder levels (I know that Madden did -- it stopped my running game cold), but it was same old, same old. Rent before you buy on this one -- I was so excited to have a baseball game in my hands, I'm kicking myself that I can't return it now that it's open ....	negative
0	Has-Been Human Dog Whistle	Poor Mariah...she has faded so bad that this album has flopped worldwide. She is a glorified dog whistle. The only good song on this album is "We Belong Together." Other than that, don't bother.	negative
0	Skip this phone!	I was mainly looking for a corded phone with caller ID that I could have near my computer in my office (since apparently my cordless signal was messing up my DSL). Unfortunately, the caller ID was apparently the least of my problems. With this phone, I could not use my computer at the same time anyway since the cord did not reach from the telephone table immediately next to my desk (about 1.5 feet from my chair)! Not only that, but the caller ID required batteries, which I had to replace about every month. You'll be angry at the time you waste trying to rig this one for actual everyday use. Skip it! Spend a little more money and spare yourself the irritation.	negative
1	Unexpected sophistication	Robert Asprin writes comedy, right? I had made the unfortunate mistake of bottlenecking this author's style - and I did love the Myth series of books - but he covered a serious science fiction drama with an impeccable portrait of war, and a species constrained by a sense of honor and dignity. The writing in this book was surprisingly sensitive and heartfelt, and the characterizations were wholly satisfying. This was a good read, on many levels.	positive

0	The more I think about it, the worse it gets	I have read every Terry Goodkind novel, because it was good reading. The more I ponder this series, the more I hate it. It is boring fantasy with nothing original. Half of the series is a Harlequin in a fantasy cover. Then there is all the S&M - complete with leather, toys, and torture until sex prevails at the end. This is not fantasy, but some perverts way to sell a thier ideas. I also got sick of after about 4 books, it seems that Richard and Kahlan never are togeather and when they are it is a stupid, sleezy way - not a way for a heroin and hero. I think what really ruined this series for me is when I tried to compare it to George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones - it doesn't compare.	negative
0	The knowledge is in there somewhere?	I had a lot of trouble following the author's train of thought in this book. Chapter One on Analog vs. Digital is two pages long and chapter Two on Logic Gates is one page long. The definitions of terms are sparse simple sentences that leave the reader lost. The problems at the end of the chapters ask questions about terms and subjects which were never mentioned in the text. It is a good thing the answers were in the back of the book. The schematics and truth tables look like they were drawn with a black crayon. There is a lot of information in this "tomb." But, all in all, it is just a poorly written book. Digital electronics is a subject that requires some skill in conveying concepts that are hard to understand. I do hope that my efforts here will save another from making the mistake of buying this title.	negative
0	Catwoman: The Bad, The Disasterous, and the Ugly	This movie is probably one of the worst of the year thus far. After seeing it, I just sat there staring off into space wondering what the director and editor were taking when they made this film. Halle Berry had a shot of starring in a decent adaption of Catwoman. However, the creative forces behind the film couldn't give the film a breath of life or freshness. Instead, we get the bare-bones of an okay story. The editing is horrible and there are so many times when continuity through character expression is shifty. I agree, they could of made a good Catwoman film and still disconnected it with the Batman franchise. However, instead we got a blur of just another hollywood flop. My advice to Halle: Get a new agent. My advice to Pitoff: Stick to directing commercials, because that's all you'll be remembered for at the end of the day.	negative

1	Great Backpack for my Husky	I bought this because my 2 yr old husky pulls like crazy when we walk. I've used it for about 1 week now and I notice he seems to get more out of the walk and at the end of the walk he's pulling less. I put one water bottle on each side so far. This week I'm going to increase the weight by putting 2 more bottles. The belly strap was long and I cut it shorter and put some super glue on the ends. So far no problem. For the price, this is the best backpack. The others are way more expensive. Try this one.	positive

Good Guide For Many

If you know your stuff (very good in the field you are moving into) and you manage people, resources, and time well, then you don't need this book at all. But if you are lacking in any of those areas, this book serves as a good guide.It uses charts and graphs, but not in a uselessly complex way. The author uses enough anecdotes to keep things interesting while illustrating concepts.It is relatively concise and maintains its focus - serving as a combination "how-to guide" and a checklist for making an occupational transition.It's worth a read if you are "making the move" and you seek guidance, advice, and perhaps a little re-assurance.

Excellent!

The book was in excellent condition, the edition restored some errors that were in previous editions. I have been lugging it around everywhere and it's still excellent. The book itself is one of those books that you can read many times over and still find new, and fresh things to wonder at. I read it once a year and as I change the book changes too, as I understand more and more of the text. As a student studying literature at Uni at the moment, the message that can be found in it is timeless and enduring; but that message is for the reader alone to find.

I've used this can crusher for several months, and it is holding up well and doing a good job. The previous unit I owned, which I purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond,the metal arms became bent and the unit was unusable after only a few weeks use. This unit has a much more sturdy design and is easy to operate. I would definitely recommend it.

Ineffective

There may be some place in the care of cats that these gloves are useful, but they certainly were ineffective in removing loose hair on my cats. The bumps are very small and really don't do much of anything. I am able to remove more loose hair with my hand while petting a cat than I could get these gloves to do.

Sound and mic good for pice

I have a Plantronics set costing double the price of this set, so that is the benchmark I use for rating the Logiteh 350. I agree with the other reviewers, the earphones are a little tight, and I, too, found part of the issue was my reading glasses under my ears. Moving the glasses frames up fixed most of that problem.The audio and mic qualities of this headset are a good value for the money. The Plantronics set I own (cost about $80 when I bought them, and are the folding travel set) have better fidelity and do not squeeze as tightly, but you get what you pay for. One thing I didn't like about the Plantronics is the very large DSP casing. The Logitec headset is not a portable, but it actually stows well for travel, as it doesn't have the "large" DSP case the Plantronics has.Bottom line: very good value for the money, I use them everyday to video Skype with a friend overseas. If you don't want to pay double this for a high-end set, then I would recommend these.

Small Image when played on a widescreen TV

The DVD manufacturer did it again. When played on a widescreen TV, there is a big black bar all the way around the picture. The reason for this is the 16:9 image is in the middle of a 5:4 caption ratio frame. So, you still have to wait for the studios to produce this film in true widescreen full screen.

I was very disappointed with this batch.

bad connection soon after purchase

The design for this is terrible. The end of the USB cord going to the pad sticks out at least an inch, so it's really easy to bump it if you use your laptop on your lap. A few bumps and the connection inside the pad becomes faulty. If you try to keep using the pad, you have to move the cord around to find "sweet spots" so that the pad gets its power. This is very annoying, and there doesn't seem to be any simple way to fix it.

I can't say this book is a waste of time, but at least for me it was, when you read a title like "The Ultimate Windows 2000 System Administrator Guide", you think it's going to be a great book, but this one is far from being great, I wanted something more explicit, by this I mean I wanted more theory and what I did get was only screen shots, this is totally useless for me, the only utility I find for the book it's as a paperweight, you know what I mean, if you want to waste some time, buy this book it won't disapoint you in this respect.

Good Clear Practical Advice

For the novice stand-up comic, Greg Dean's book is a great introduction to the craft. He writes clearly and authoritatively, a by-product of his passion and dedication to the career and life of a stand-up comic. He offers useful tips and advice from constructing a zippy one-liner to handling a microphone to massaging the waitstaff.While Greg Dean's book gives novices a heads-up, the real teachers are failed jokes, bored audiences, crass hecklers, and empty showrooms -- and Greg Dean does new comics a service by being very honest about this.

You get what you pay for...

I bought this printer because I wanted high quality photo printing and I didn't need any of the bells and whistles that come with more expensive printers. It's a Canon, so I figured I could count on the photo quality. I was terribly disappointed though. I generally buy Staples brand photo paper for general photo printing, and it always worked fine with my Epson printer. But my first prints on this printer looked dull and muddy -- like I was looking at the images though a mild but annoying grey/brown haze. So I went out and bought Canon paper instead. The quality was somewhat improved, but still not what I had expected. So yes, I got a printer for under $30, but now to get even passably OK prints, I need to spend a fortune on Canon brand inks and paper. Not much of a bargain.

What a bitter dissapointment!

I cannot even begin to explain the dissapointment that I have with this box set.Like a previous review said before me, this is basically a recycled "Box Of Dreams" with a few added tracks and different style packaging. This box set had so much potential to be a wonderful gift but that potential was completely blown by merely including almost all of her regular studio album tracks and still excluding non-album tracks. Each of the four discs has enough space left for several more tracks and the leftover space could've been used to make a separate disc for a B-Sides disc.This is a great box set but Warner Brothers completely blew it with this release!!

Great replacement and these have the tightening screw Ford should have installed at the Factory.

Can't beat the price. Buying new on Amazon is likely cheaper than buying garbage at a junk yard. These really do look 99% identical to the OEM Ford originals. The one minor difference I found is that the pivot point is on the leading edge of the mounting base, whereas the original mirrors are the opposite. These are better, because the mirror sits further from the driver. That's a good thing, since Ford mounted the mirros too far back on the door to begin with. I'd give them 5 stars, but the manufacturer packs them way too tightly in a cardboard box with zero protection (plastic baggie, etc.). Both of my new mirrors have visible scuffs in the plastic finish from moving around in the box. Not bad enough to bother sending them back. Otherwise, these are fantastic. Great value.

Greasy and Disgusting!

I was so excited to receive these bars as I had tried other flavors before and absolutely loved them! When I received this item, I noticed the outer box which contained the bars looked a bit "greasy." I opened the wrapper to a greasy, oily bar, and was immediately hit with the pungent smell of what could only be described as old coconut scented sunblock. Disgusting!! My husband who is adventurous, decided to give the bar a try...he spit it right out, and ran to rinse his mouth out! He said it stung his mouth and tasted acidic and rancid! The bars we recieved had an expiration date of 12/12, which is far from accurate, if I could give negative stars I absolutely would!!!

It's been decades since I polished my nails, but I recently found my old chamois buffer and decided to buy some cream. This is the cream I bought. Merely a hint of polish on each nail does the job.

I LOVE Nora Roberts and have read (and mostly kept) all of her books. I usually devour a Nora Roberts book within a day or so. I could NOT get into this story at all! It did not keep my attention or enthusasum at all....kept trying to read it, stopped frequently...came back to it a day later and eventually I skipped pages (not something I normally do) and toward the middle to end I just couldn't take it anymore. I skipped more, got the just and gave up. That is something that I've NEVER done with a Nora Roberts book before or since.

Good phone

This phone was expensive for a 2.8 GHZ model, but if you want a Panasonic phone that wall mounts (flat against the wall), this model is the most cost effective way to go. Other Panasonics were clearly made for table-top use only, but this model actually adapts sits flat against the wall.The talking caller ID is nice, but if all of your calls are name-less "Wireless Caller" or "Unknown name" the phone won't alternatively say recite the caller's number, nor will it pick up on a stored nickname from speed-dial memory and recite that instead. All in all it is a good model.

Flaw design

I bought this one several years ago, the battery life, the features, ease of use, portability and sound quality are all very good. But the biggest flaw was that Panasonic cordless phones will always die after 2 or 3 years, once the warranty is running out. This has been my 4th Panasonic cordless phone, all my other Panasonic phones were running into the same problems and so is this one: the handset lose link to the base and the speaker phones on the handset would die together in about 2 years. I think the company intentional design their cordless phones in this way so that customers can keeping buying their products.

This pocket guide is OK for showing you what the tracks look like; however, it doesn't differentiate between walkers, bounders, wide walkers/waddlers and leapers. Nor does it tell you what the stride or straddle is, which is a very important aspect. I instead opted for the Mammal Tracker pocket laminated card from Interpretive Wildlife Programs and blew it up a bit (it's kinda small otherwise) and bring a plastic ruler with me. For decent tracking you need to know 1) how big the prints are, 2) the formation they're in, 3) the length of the stride and 4) the width of the straddle. Of course, a basic understanding of the habits and habitat of the mammals you are tracking goes a long way to narrowing things down. If you aren't sure, lay your ruler down next to the prints and take a picture; then you can study it when you get home. Above all...have fun! Try tracking one set of prints as far as they go; you might get lucky and find a den, lay or the animal itself!

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

Cuts out constantly... not a good phone at all. I wanted it for my business phone and I cannot even use it because it cuts out all the time for no reason. Even with FULL BARS wifi reception. I promise you that this is the worst phone ever!!

Excellent movie - August Rush

Freddie Highmore does an outstanding job in his performance in August Rush. The story plot is portrayed in a believable series of events and Robin Williams also does a good job portraying the semi-villain in this movie. This is a bit of a tear-jerker but pleasant none-the-less and with the inevitable happy ending.

My dog loves it

My Chihuahua loves this stuff so much he hops up onto the couch, waiting for his brushing, when he sees me get the tube. I've tried other toothpastes but this is by far the very best I've ever used because my dog doesn't resist the brushing at all. Even my cats like it!

A couple questions for everyone.

I happen to own the DVD L-10 and I'm not sure why everyone here happens to think that it has terrible sound when using the speakers. I think the sound is excellent quality. Also could everyone please tell me what better features the L-50 has over the L-10 and if it would be worth it to get the L-50 since I already have the L-10. I definitely think the L-10 was worth every cent I paid for it. My only complaint is as everyone else has said it gets really hot, but that is to be expected. Otherwise it's unbelievable.

Too Tasty!

I had purchased a box from our local grocery store here called farmer jacks because they are on sale 10 for $10, and they are To DIE for! If you're a doughnut fan and like chocolate coated ones these are for you! I had the devils food crumb doughnut ones and wished they sold whole boxes of these. No funny aftertaste either.

This is NOT a Sawzall!

Nobody every asks for a "reciprocating construction saw" -- they ask for a Sawzall. Neglecting the fact that it's a much more convenient term, you have to realize that the Milwaukee name has been synonymous with these tools for longer than I want to admit knowing about them, and I've *never* used one in a situation where the convenience of cordless operation would outweigh the need for a REAL power tool. Get aSawzall, or if 11 amps isn't good enough the 13-ampSuper Sawzall. They're famous for a reason. Cheaper too.

Awful....

I do not understand how anyone could rate this trite piece of garbage 5 stars. The story was predictable, and the script was boring and forced. The movie had some scenes with shock value, but I didn't watch it to see fourteen year old girls getting undressed, and forcing themselves upon people. I was hoping it would be along the lines of kids, but nowhere near the intensity of that movie. The characters in this movie are two dimensional, which makes the movie even more unbeleivable. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I expected a LOT better from the other reviews I read.

No way! Hypothermia risk

I'd not even consider this tent/bivy as it utilizes a cot that has air space underneath. This creates a heat sink where the cot cools until it's the same temp as the outside air (The Zeroeth Law of thermodynamics). That means you lose body heat. This creates a hypothermia danger in the same fashion that hollow air mattresses can. Don't use cots or hollow air mattresses unless ALL your camping is done in summer months, or you're sleeping inside a heated enclosure. Most hypothermia occurs at temperatures between 30 and 50-degrees F. A bivy enclosure that sits on the ground, coupled with a ThermaRest-type open cell self-inflating sleeping pad is the way to go.

Great set!

The set fit our crate very well and makes a cozy place for our dog to sleep. It is good for winter to keep drafts out so I feel like he is warmer. It also makes for a more attractive dog kennel since we keep it in the center of our living area.

Fabulous camera

I had a basic point and shoot digital camera and was missing some great pictures due to the delay. My kids are competitive swimmers and I wasn't able to get action shots even in the sports mode. I decided to upgrade to a SLR. This camera came highly recommended by a local camera shop. It is easy to use. It comes with 2 lenses, the zoom is great. I am amazed at some of the pictures I have taken already. This camera has capabilities beyond what I will use, but I the pictures I have already taken are to be treasured.

Captivating Historical Novel. A Gem. Great Summer Read

Not sure I read the same book the other reviewers did. I found Tripp's 2nd novel even better than her first. A unique approach to telling a story weaved with a historical back drop makes for a really good read. The author finds intrigue and depth and great character development. Westport details abound and she grasps many aspects of life at the ti me. I felt like I was there!

A Major League Disappointment ....

I'm a big fan of sports games, and this one left me really disappointed. The graphics were only average, and the interface just plain silly -- the "new" batter/pitcher controls were simplistic. When batting, the location cursor (where the pitcher is going to throw) is left on way too long so it's pretty easy to hit the ball solid (I popped this game in and the very first game I played, I won 25-5). I thought that maybe it would get better on the harder levels (I know that Madden did -- it stopped my running game cold), but it was same old, same old. Rent before you buy on this one -- I was so excited to have a baseball game in my hands, I'm kicking myself that I can't return it now that it's open ....

Skip this phone!

I was mainly looking for a corded phone with caller ID that I could have near my computer in my office (since apparently my cordless signal was messing up my DSL). Unfortunately, the caller ID was apparently the least of my problems. With this phone, I could not use my computer at the same time anyway since the cord did not reach from the telephone table immediately next to my desk (about 1.5 feet from my chair)! Not only that, but the caller ID required batteries, which I had to replace about every month. You'll be angry at the time you waste trying to rig this one for actual everyday use. Skip it! Spend a little more money and spare yourself the irritation.

Unexpected sophistication

Robert Asprin writes comedy, right? I had made the unfortunate mistake of bottlenecking this author's style - and I did love the Myth series of books - but he covered a serious science fiction drama with an impeccable portrait of war, and a species constrained by a sense of honor and dignity. The writing in this book was surprisingly sensitive and heartfelt, and the characterizations were wholly satisfying. This was a good read, on many levels.

Don't believe the packaging and spec's. The new WAP 11 V2.2 will not operate as a client or multipoint access point.

Stay cool handle doesnt work

We just bought the 1.5 qt version of this exact pot. We have a number of other Cephalon pots and pans, various vintage.Never had this problem with any of them. The first use of this pot and my girlfriend nearly scorched her hand. Only the outer half of the handle stays cool. The half closer to the pot got very hot. Quite surprised and very disappointed. Will not being dealing with Cephalon again.

Im gonna make this direct and to the point.The music is good enough to listen outside the game. The story line is good enough to be a movie without any changes. the gameplay is !phat! as far as SNES goes. And GFX dont matter too much but it is perfect.All in all one of the best games ever.

Assembly instructions

I just received the product. Wouldn't you know that the instrutions aren't clear and since this is a Saturday-they aren't working. Outside of the main parts, nothing else seems to be in place, though the instructions say they could be "gathered". What does THAT mean? I sure would appreciate it if someone, somewhere could let me know how to properly put this monster together. LOLMargie[..]

DEFECTIVE

This DVD was defective. It froze, tiled, pixelated, and could not be skipped past any defective part. The seller Amazon.com LLC, had to know this because it froze very early at the beginning of the movie and could not be fast forwarded. I went to my account and tried to notify seller, but there was no "contact seller" like there was on all the other orders.

Returned this watch

There are many variations of Invicta diver's watches. I had read in some reviews about one watch being much smaller than others. By mistake I ordered this one, which is only 38 mm across. When I received it I was surprised at how small the face looked. The circular bezel takes up a lot he space so the face was quite small. I returned it and ordered the larger titanium version. I just received the replacement and am very happy with its size. Invicta watches are great value for money. Just beware of the size before ordering.

Terrible image on this Synergy DVD!

THE SLEEPING TIGER is a terrific film with a knockout performance by Dirk Bogarde in his first collaboration with director Joseph Losey.It deserves to be seen in a clear print. This Synergy Entertainment DVD and its smudgy print is a travesty. Do they preview these films before they sell them to unsuspecting buyers?If you can't play a reg. 2 DVD, pristine image from Optimum....... get the reg. 1 "Dark Crimes - 50 Movie DVD Set" from Mill Creek Entertainment under $12 for 50 films. Don't be put off by the "50 movies" bit. Their print of THE SLEEPING TIGER is as clear as you're going to get, and as good as the Optimum. I stumbled on this great find and was amazed. It's also available through some interlibrary loans so you can check it yourself.Good luck.

At first he seems just an ordinary kid...but wow what a life

This is a marvelous book and an easy read. Even though Ben Franklin seemed to be just an average guy, as you read about him accomplishing one thing after another, you get a sense of his magnificence as a man.I wish I had read this book when I was a kid, perhaps a little of the diligence that is portrayed on every page would have rubbed off on me.The autobiography is amazing in a low key, Ben Franklin sort of way.

The more I think about it, the worse it gets

I have read every Terry Goodkind novel, because it was good reading. The more I ponder this series, the more I hate it. It is boring fantasy with nothing original. Half of the series is a Harlequin in a fantasy cover. Then there is all the S&M - complete with leather, toys, and torture until sex prevails at the end. This is not fantasy, but some perverts way to sell a thier ideas. I also got sick of after about 4 books, it seems that Richard and Kahlan never are togeather and when they are it is a stupid, sleezy way - not a way for a heroin and hero. I think what really ruined this series for me is when I tried to compare it to George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones - it doesn't compare.

The knowledge is in there somewhere?

I had a lot of trouble following the author's train of thought in this book. Chapter One on Analog vs. Digital is two pages long and chapter Two on Logic Gates is one page long. The definitions of terms are sparse simple sentences that leave the reader lost. The problems at the end of the chapters ask questions about terms and subjects which were never mentioned in the text. It is a good thing the answers were in the back of the book. The schematics and truth tables look like they were drawn with a black crayon. There is a lot of information in this "tomb." But, all in all, it is just a poorly written book. Digital electronics is a subject that requires some skill in conveying concepts that are hard to understand. I do hope that my efforts here will save another from making the mistake of buying this title.

Catwoman: The Bad, The Disasterous, and the Ugly

This movie is probably one of the worst of the year thus far. After seeing it, I just sat there staring off into space wondering what the director and editor were taking when they made this film. Halle Berry had a shot of starring in a decent adaption of Catwoman. However, the creative forces behind the film couldn't give the film a breath of life or freshness. Instead, we get the bare-bones of an okay story. The editing is horrible and there are so many times when continuity through character expression is shifty. I agree, they could of made a good Catwoman film and still disconnected it with the Batman franchise. However, instead we got a blur of just another hollywood flop. My advice to Halle: Get a new agent. My advice to Pitoff: Stick to directing commercials, because that's all you'll be remembered for at the end of the day.

Great Backpack for my Husky

I bought this because my 2 yr old husky pulls like crazy when we walk. I've used it for about 1 week now and I notice he seems to get more out of the walk and at the end of the walk he's pulling less. I put one water bottle on each side so far. This week I'm going to increase the weight by putting 2 more bottles. The belly strap was long and I cut it shorter and put some super glue on the ends. So far no problem. For the price, this is the best backpack. The others are way more expensive. Try this one.
