Terrible Phone...
I decided to switch from Sprint to AT&T;, specifically to get access to this phone. I was drawn to the small, thin size of the phone and the flashy blue color. Before I bought it, I read all the reviews and found that it was much better than the RAZR... or so I thought!I have had this phone for a little over a year! I hate it! I can barely hear people, as the sound is muffled through the phone. Noone can hear me when I use the bluetooth feature through my car. The front of the phone is already cracked just from normal use - I have not dropped it, although sometimes I want to out of frustration. In addition, the phone freezes from time to time and I cannot receive incoming calls. And probably the biggest issue is that I consistently get dropped calls! This happens even when I am speaking with another AT&T; network user. It is ridiculous. If I didn't have this contract for another 11 months, I would definitely switch!!!!

Works Well
The Headset works well and is a comfortable fit. I thought it would be heavy on the ear, but its hardly noticible even when wearing for long periods of time. Occasionally static is heard on the other end, but its a rarity. Most people I talked to did not know I was using a headset. The boom mic does a good job of canceling out background noise so the other end only hears what you are saying.

NOT VERY GOOD IF ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT
The machine was very well packed and easy to assemble right out of the box. It lacks a spindle lock. The chuck was a little out of round. When you chuck a bit and turn it on, the bit runs fairly true with the quill fully retracted, but when extended about half way or more it begins to wobble. When fully extended I measured a full 1/16" of wobble in all directions. You can turn it off and extend the quill and move it that same amount by hand. The spindle and quill must have some pretty sloppy tolerances. I will be returning this press.

Does not work for a Genie....
I am sure it would work great, but it is just not comparable with our Genie garage door opener. it is a newer garage opener (purchased in 2009) but the opener did not work.

This is the work of absolute geniuses
I would say this belongs to the genre of alternative electronic pop...the first time you hear the album a couple of tracks stand out (their hits, "Last Days Inc", "Dare" etc); but the more you listen to this album from scratch, the more you get impressed with it.I've never had so much fun listening to quirky music. This album may not be for all, but if you're interested in listening to different music and not your regular "Waiting for Tonight", grab this.Two thumbs up, way up!

An Underrated Classic
Finally! After years of wishful thinking, it's happened. I'm so glad that animated Alf has seen the light of day! Over the years I managed to find a few PAL videotapes which I transferred to NTSC, but having so many episodes finally available on DVD is great. As was mentioned, the Alf animated series ranks up there with other modern classics. I've never understood why it didn't develop more of a following among animation fans, maybe these two releases will change that. Even folks who aren't fans of the 'flesh and fur' Alf owe it to themselves to check out the animated series. It is quite different from the primetime TV show, it has much more of an edge...very bizarre at times. The writing is excellent, as is the voice characterization. Awesome stuff all around, highly recommended!

Maybe I got a lemon...
After reading all of these rave reviews I tried out this booster, and I couldn't be more disappointed. Maybe I just got a lemon, but it is SO unsturdy! It wiggles from side to side and just doesn't feel safe to me at all. The seat part is fine without the back, but obviously I need to use the back for a little while. Definitely not worth saving a few dollars.

Warning - recording level may be too low to be usable
I seldom play at higher levels than 60 in my preamp, and this volume really risks my ears. At this volume setting, howvwer, this SACD was mostly barely audible. Kashchei's wild dance could somehow be heard, albeit very quietly. For the sound to open up, I had to turn the volume in my 5x200W system some 30 db higher (i.e., some 1000 more average power!). The same problem occurred in the CD layer, SACD stereo and SACD multichannel.It might be that the copy I had (and returned :-) was uniquely defective, but I thought I'd better rate the sound at 1-star as a warning to others that this SACD might be unusable in many systems.

Fast Cooker
I received the Rival as a gift. This slow cooker is anything but slow. On the low setting, a 3 lb pot roast was over done in less than 2 hours. Instead of slow cooking you are slow boiling. I ruined a few meals with this crock pot and now I am looking to buy a new one.

Last King Book I Ever Purchase {or} Suckered Again!!
I can't believe I fell for it...AGAIN!!King keeps getting my money and I keep feeling like an idiot for reading anything he writes since Bag of Bones (and I wasn't thrilled with that).This latest pathetic attempt was produced obviously to meet some contractual agreement (500 pages!-- a coincidence? I don't think so).When Mr. King was at his best a decade ago there was no one who could touch his skill and originality. Everything he's written since has about the originality of a fried egg sandwich. All of these stories in "E.E." have been done to death, by King and others.I've given up hope!Save your money!

Very Unapealing
This book seems to okay irrational behavior and embracessomeone to not face their mistakes or upsets but instead have somekooky way to try to make everything seem fine. You can not go back and undo things that you have done to people who have died and by going through with that wedding Hannah really shows no responsibility for the situation she created. It makes me ponder whether the author just had a bad idea for a book or if indeed she shares this lack of responsibility for situations. I advise people not read this for it instills the wrong values in people and leads people to believe that they can just make everything ok again.

Great CD!
Excellent music that carries a fantasic sense of Place. To my knowledge, Kyle Thompson is the only musician ever to record Civil War-era music ON LOCATION at different battlefields. Thompson is a talented musician and the fact that he had been diagnosed with Lou Gherig's disease by the time of the recording (something I found out after hearing the CD) just made it that much more poignant. The music on the CD is a balanced mix of lighter and darker music. The joy and humor come through in the upbeat songs while the tragedy and sadness of the War comes through the solemn pieces in a way that more glib, nauseously cheery musicians would never be able to communicate.

Too loud!
This toy is in desperate need of a quieter setting. It took me a couple of days to put the batteries in it, and during that time my son loved playing with it. Once I installed the batteries and turned it on though, the sound the car made was so loud and startling that my 13M old son cried. He now plays with this much less, and never with the sounds on.

Not as good
We bought this cartridge back in June and and it already dried out and is no longer functioning after a few hundred copies. Previous cartridges we purchased from office supply stores lasted for over a year and was good for a few thousand copies. I would rather pay a few dollars more and get a longer lasting cartridge.

These razors are like "safety scissors" for shaving

Another Task Made Simple
I bought the Wonder Winder because I was tired of detangling my extension cord for each new project. I have now used it for over 18 months and I am impressed with its resilience and versatility. I can't even remember all the power cord nightmares of the past. The Wonder Winder performs so flawlessly and effortlessly that I hardly ever notice it. When I first received it, I was concerned with its light weight and plastic material, but this product was engineered with attention to detail befitting a first rate power tool. It's stronger than it looks and as an engineer I remain amazed by its minimalist approach to power cord retraction. The cord always re-coils like a cobra waiting to strike again. It came with two wall anchor pods allowing me to alternate the location of the Wonder Winder in different areas, as necessary. I have told all my friends about this product, and they also appreciate its design and functionality.

A marvelous fantasy
Michelle Sagara brings her series of four books on the Sundered Lands to a close with an unexpected ending. The complex relationship between the Lord of Empire and the Sarillorn of Elliath brings the conflict between the forces of Light and of Darkness to conclusion. The characters are rich and entrancing. The world and cultures Sagara creates sparks the imagination. The whole series of four books make for four wonderful weekends of fantasy reading!

Giggle Mask is an instant hit
A co-worker with a 6-year-old son recommended the Giggle Mask to me when I was searching for a present for a friend's 6-year-old. It was an excellent recommendation. The Giggle Mask was an instant hit (once the adults assembled the base, as recommended.) The assembly was easy and the fun was immediate. Best, it has a volume control, so even though it's a noise-based toy, it's manageable. There are numerous small parts and no place to store them, but add a couple of zipper-style plastic bags and the problem is resolved.

Doesn't work with all bands
I bought this based on Amazon's recommendation that it is frequently purchased with the watch I was buying. There are several types of bands as illustrated at [...] and it is very difficult to determine which type your new watch has until it is in your hands. This does not work with the Casio Men's WV300DA-7AC Waveceptor Solar Atomic Silver-Tone Watch that I purchased, so I just took my watch to a nearby jeweler and they sized it perfectly for $10. The pins in the watchband are very small and pop out several feet into the air, so be careful if you attempt to size your watch band and do it in a large uncluttered work area, like on a large dining table, and be sure you have the right tool for your band. I added this to my tool box, but I am skeptical that I will ever use it. I am happy there are still local jewelers to assist with watches you did not purchase from them.

Also- it didn't work on my computer because it wasn't compatible- you must have over Windows 98-SE. That was more my fault.... lol..

Should have passed this one by
I bought this book while visiting the Yorkshire Dales, after lapping up the James Herriot series years earlier. I was sooo excited to find the book and had romantic visions of reading about the real James Herriot while visiting his homeland.Ohhhhh, how I wish I had picked up the book, soaked up the photos, and put the book right back on the shelf.A classic case of raining on my parade; bursting my bubble; toss out ANY fitting cliche. It shattered all my illusions about James Harriet's life, experiences, and loved ones. If you are a sentimental fool like me and have read Herriot's books, pass this one byyyyy.

As a fan of the Westworld movie I eagerly bought this, only to find that it barely has anythind to do with it.

So, I have many blackheads on my nose, I can press them and get the gunk out but they come back. I bought these strips hoping to solve my problem.The first thing I'd like to note is that the strips LOVE to stick to themselves. The first strip I opened stuck to itself immediately and wouldn't come part. The second strip went on fine, it got hard after 10-15 minutes and I peeled the strip off towards the bottom of my nose (like the instructions say to do.It got a few blackheads, but nothing worth paying for (maybe 4-5 blackheads came out). The rest were left unscathed. Also, the strip leaves your skin uncomfortably dry where it was.

Best for the Price
There are less expensive diapers out there, but I found that Pampers and Huggies might be more money, but are the better diaper too. I also found that Baby Dry diapers were the least expensive of the diapers that work. I have a girl and they work great. I really don't even price check anymore. I just get these using amazon mom and subscribe and save and get them as cheap as I can. I lot easier shopping for diapers when you have your favorite, and these are definitely my favorite.Edit October 2012: I now have another baby girl. I decided to give luvs a try again, and like them this time around. I didn't like them with my first daughter. Not sure if my opinion changed or if luvs changed their diaper up. There is definitely a different feel than other brands, but after amazon mom ended I started shopping again and now I get luvs from sam's club.

This is the CD, and Santa Monica the song, that made them famous, and rightly so. There is something eerie here, the pop-like texture, with the horror-stories that sound like real life. Weird juxtapostion. Also the smooth rocking guitar of Black Girl Friend, which taken together is almost naive in it's assertions. End to end a great CD.

slow torture
We were shocked by the rave reviews of this movie -- especially the comparison on the video jacket to the "Full Monty". Perhaps we missed the humor (where was it?), but we found the story painful and slow. Too bad, because John Hurt is usually good at whatever he does... but when given a bad script and a worse supporting cast, what can he do? How can this be seen as a comedy?! Felt like a depressing waste of an evening. No love and lots of death (of brain cells) on Long Island.

Very good and informative for newer fans
I read this book and could not put it down. I am younger so I do not know a lot about the earlier albums and this book provided that information nicely. I like how the author showed some of the inspirations and history of many of The Artist's songs. The book also had a lot of good recent interviews with people who used to work with The Artist and said where they were now. One more excellent feature was the two reference sections, reviews for every album and an exhausted discography. The only bad part was that the author strayed away from the topic of The Artist a few times with the history of Minnesota, segregation, and the record industry. It also would have been nice if the book was in chronological order. Overall it was a very good book for newer fans of The Artist.

Great premise, terrible movie
I love Meg Ryan, and like Nicholas Cage, and wound up renting this movie in the hope of seeing a romantic, lush movie. The movie starts off slow - and then just gets slower. Cage is moody and somewhat one-dimensional, Ryan is great but not enough to carry the picture.I could have walked away with a good feeling overall if the "twist" at the ending hadn't been ridiculous and frustrating. Who wants to see a movie with an unhappy & depressing ending?Save your money - and your time. City of Angels made me wish for a prescription of Prozac.

Unfortunately, the quality of the device was abhorrent. The Z22 FREQUENTLY fails to turn on when the power button is pressed. This gets annoying really fast. The worst problem, though, is the hotsync computer hook up. I could not get my palm to link with my computer despite numerous attempts and calls to the palm help center. There was no way I back up my information to my computer or download any software for the Z22. I finally exchanged my Z22 to the store where I bought it only to get a replacement that had the identical problems to the one I replaced. This thing was a huge waste of time and money.

Excellent Book for Classes and Self-study
I used this book for my statistic class. After thoroughly reading this book, I become quite familiar with the subject matter.1. The explanations in most parts are so clear and easy to understand. A few small sections are difficult, but they are not essential topics for this book. If you think the book is not intuitive, use Peter Kennedy's A Guide to Econometrics (5th edition) as complementary reading.2. You can find all the corresponding SAS programs on the Internet. Do the exercises with SAS, otherwise you will learn nothing. If you don't know SAS, read Delwiche and Slaughter's The Little SAS Book (3rd edition) or SAS Online Tutor for Base Programming.3. If you are not familiar with basic statistic concepts, read the appendices of the book first.4. The book is sufficient and easily understood for what it contains. If you want more and deeper information, use other books to complement it.

Improbable characters that work
Who else but Elmore Leonard could come up with a phony priest and an ex-con standup comic as his hero and heroine? I'm guessing the Catholic Church left its marks on him in one way or another because he's had Catholic characters in other books, most notably TOUCH and BANDITS. I went to Catholic school, and the title PAGAN BABIES alone was enough to stir memories and draw me in. (And a tip of the hat to the person who thought to put a mission box on the cover. Perfect!) Leonard unfolds this story of scammers and scumbags with a deft hand, giving us a generous helping of his signature humor and bull's eye dialogue. No one writes like him, and thank God he's so prolific. The man is a national treasure.

Surprisingly bad
Considering both the author and the subject matter, this was surprisingly bad.Jackson's election was the first election of a president by "the people" (the people bing white, male, and in some states, just property owners). How did this happen and what did it mean for the country - you won't find out here.And Jackson as president had a significant impact on how the federal government of the United States operated, from federalism (handling South Carolina's attempt to succeed), to the National Bank, to the proposed expansion of the conuntry.So how were each of these handled and what did it mean? Again, you won't find out much here. Yes Jackson made a toast to the preservation of the Union and yes that was important. But according to this book that was it.The book reads easily and is good up through the battle of New Orleans. But it doesn't tell you much about Jackson's impact on our government and country. Yet that is why he is so important.

Sucked
If Austin woulden't have wrestled this video would only get one star. Don't waste your time and money with this video. The matchs are edited. And worst yet instead of JR Kevin Kelly is an anouncer. If JR coulden't be an anouncer at least let the King Be #2.

Thought provoking
I read this on my Kindle Fire. My 14 year old grandson had ordered it as a part of school reading requirements. I enjoyed the description of what living in the Warsaw ghetto might have been like for a child. Unbelievable example of man's hatred for others. Was pleased with the ending.

Good Value
I purchased this toaster for a friend. It is functional, and fits her kitchen decor perfectly. This is certainly a good toaster for the money. I would give it 5 stars if the slots were a bit wider and the holder was a bit higher. I have to reach into the toaster to retreive english muffins when they are done toasting. Ouch!

masterpiece
every page was full of wisdom. I love how he ended the book by saying the bible is fact, not fiction. throughout the book, he made his faith subtle but at the last page, he made it clear that he's a christian, a wise christian. God blessed this book.

A literal let down....
I would say this cot literally let me down! I just returned from a family camping trip and the very first time using it, I layed down on it, and the cot very gently folded itself back up. The non rust tubing isn't very structuraly sound and doubled up. I had tried the standard cot from Coleman but it didn't work for me (I'm 6'1" and 215 lbs). Well the big boy cot ain't getting it done either. If you want some good humor for your wife and kids purchase this baby and take it along, it will make for a great story. Otherwise, I wouldn't have another one, it's just cheap!

Not very good
This stuff looks really nice right after it is applied but it doesn't have any durability whatsoever. Recently I've started using Mother's FX Tire Shine and it is a huge improvement over this product. Black Magic is very thin and watery which allows it to spin off and rinse off easy when it is wet out. The product from Mother's is very thick in comparison and doesn't sling off while giving a much better shine.

range is terrible
This is the poorest range phone I have ever purchased.I do not have a large house and the base has to be located in the center of the house to get reception inside the house. If the base is just 13 feet from the end of the house, it will not work in the bedroom just 24 feet away. It will not work outside at all. My older phone would get reception up to 150+ feet out in the yard.I emailed customer service and got no customer service and no recommendations.

Did you know they have Quick Book College!
This is perfect for a small business to keep track of virtually everything! From sales taxes to inventory, customers to vendors...you can keep track of it all! It's start up interview makes it so easy to use that anyone can be successful with the set up process.Well, I give up! I spoke too soon! I just found out there is a "Quick Book College" and believe me when I say you need a master's degree from there to do this right! I have a buisness degree & with this it is useless!

wHAT HAPPENED, bILLY?
Wow, this is not the MOD i once knew and loved.What happened to the great sounds of USA for MOD?This is mid-paced rock at best. Just another lazy effort on Billy Milano's part to avoid getting a job. This should be the "Billy Milano band" not under the moniker MOD.The cover spoof on MSG is a total classic, though!!Buy SOD instead!!

Piece of JUNK
Right out of the box it displayed HI even in meat that my instant read thermometer read 46F. I am returning this piece of garbage. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Disappointing Ending
The beginning was good, but the ending was disappointing. Why give up something special suddenly instead of figuring out how to keep it?

The Folds of Andre's Brain
Though I did not finish reading the entire book because just this morning my cat threw up all over it, I would recommend Codrescu's A Craving for Swan. It's a collection of his writings which once aired on NPR. He chooses topics--Transylvania, Louisiana, his son, whatever--and then expounds upon them--expository style--in his own, singular, funny, forthright, post-beatnik, Eastern-European/Nawlins vernacular style. What I like about Codrescu is not so much his writing ability (not intended as a slight, Mr. Andrei) as his longing for a more human existence in an increasingly nonhuman/computerish world. His storytelling talent as well as his critical eye regarding mass media and things plugged in are top-rate. To anyone who's ever read Exquisite Corpse or has seen the video of Codrescu's ride across America, this book is certainly worth it's weight in . . . cat vomit? No. Gold? No. Mardi Gras beads wrapped around a Draculian wooden cross? Yes.

Very Happy.
I searched for awhile to find a high chair that suited our needs - portable, easy to clean, & space economical. The Fisher-Price Space Saver works for us very well. It easily attaches/detaches to any chair via 2 straps and is very secure. The cover & straps come off to be washed. Although they aren't cheap, I've even found quality replacement covers online. The chair is very adjustable and since it is convertible to a booster seat, I foresee us using it for many years. One comment about the tray - even though it is dishwasher safe, I have yet to find a dishwasher that it fits into very well, but maybe I've just had small dishwashers.

Whiplash Not Worth It!
An interesting insider's account of Hollywood. However, the endless dialogue is exhausting and makes for uncomfortable reading. More descriptive passages would have been useful.

don't buy it
this book was so poorly edited as to make the information the authors present difficult to understand. no little problems either. for instance entire sections are duplicated; section titles are repeated with new information. not worth reading for anyone, especially a new programmer.
