Most Usefull Tool In My Shop
|
I bought 4 of these things. The batteries that came with them are not that great, so I replaced them with Duracell Alkalines. They are slow as the gear ratio is low. That's where the strength comes from. Contrary to some of the other reviews they are strong, and contrary to the B&D info they will mar the finish on soft wood if you crank them too tight (even with the rubber feet). They'll hold the earth on fresh batteries. I bought 4 heavy duty 3V3 Wall Mount Power Packs and modified them with heavy guage wire about 8 feet long. I then wired the Power Packs into the clamp battery compartment and made them wall powered rather than battery powered. Now I use them exclusively. No more manual C-Clamps for me except little small ones for tight places. You need to keep the shafts lightly oiled. Like any tool, maintanence is important.

Not very good compared to the others.
|
I am a big trek fan. But this movie was a mistake. I like what Leonard Nimoy said about it though. In "I AM SPOCK" he basically tells everybody not to blame Bill Shatner for it, because he believes Bill is a great director, but that the fault lies in the very weak storyline. Well who am I to argue with Leonard Nimoy? This is a very lame storyline if there ever was one, I won't waste anyone's time running over it. (But I do agree with the people who said that Bill shouldn't have directed. This was definatly an ego issue for him.) I will say that you should go rent this movie before you buy it. IF you are a die hard trekkie and you find you must have it just to say you have it, that's fine, but I wouldn't cry in my cheerioes if I couldn't get it tomorrow. It's really not a very good movie.

Pretty good brush
|
The first one I received was disgusting.... It had some black "ink" or something all over it. The brushes had some gunk on it as well. I returned it and ordered a replacement. Since I have a Prime account it came in two days. It was shipped in a differntly original was in a box, this was an envelope. The item was in great shape second time around. I have two Pits that hate being brushed. However with this product they really enjoy it. They are starting to shed a bit this time of year and I use it daily. I would imagine if you have a dog with alot of hair you would have great results. I would give 5 stars if the first one arrived in proper condition.

Lord help us
|
Go ahead. Spank your kids so that they begin to hate you and ultimately the Lord. This is an epidemic. Kids grow up believing in violence, hate and aggression towards others. You want to use yor time wisely? Read "Spare the Child" by Philip Greven.Proverbs 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.Because of this verse, millions of kids have been physically abused. Most people think that the "Rod" is a stick, belt, paddle or something physical. Think about this: Could the rod be spiritual? Can you discipline your children with love, care, encouraging words, non humilifying consequences, truth, courage and by your own example? Where did Jesus tell us to beat our kids up? Would Jesus get a paddle to beat Tedd Tripps behind? He may want to, but He won't. You know why? Because He loves Tedd a great deal.P.S. Tedd. Better get that millstone off from your neck buddy!

Get this pan!
|
I have used this 12 inch pan for over a year now. It is the best cookware I have ever owned. I am retired chef of 40 years so I have some experience with saute' pans! It is heavy so it takes a little more strength to flip stuff but it is not too difficult. I recommend what an earlier reviewer suggested: sanding the pan smooth before use. I did that with this pan and the smaller one and it really made a difference. It only took a few minutes with a sanding mouse to do it. Also, I went and bought a metal spatula to use with it as some stuff sticks a little but it peels right off with the metal spat. You don't have to worry about scratching it, it doesn't matter! After cooking just rinse it out, use a tuffy or green pad while it is still warm (no soap or detergent) then dry it and spray with non-stick spray and store in the oven. I use much less oil with this pan. While I would have worn out two or more teflon coated pans by now this pan continues to get better!

Dope Album
|
Beg For Mercy is a awesome group album. The beats on this album are the best. Young Buck steals the spotlight outta 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks. He is a dope Southern Lyricist. G-Unit is consistent in putting out quality music since 2Pac. Yeah thats right. Every G-Unit release is great. I dont even listen to other rap acts. Terror Squad faded away since Big Pin died and Cuban Link left so no one cares about T.S. and D-Block is wack. Who the hell is into D-Block? D-Block has been wack since forever. They are never going to blow. None of them has been platinum yet. G-Unit is running this rap game and everyone knows it.

Sorry to say it
|
This is a child's compilation. If you're looking for nastalgic games, look elswhere. This is young child oriented. Why someone would want to go out and attempt to get their kids addicted to video games, the way they most likely became, is beyond me. Sonic, Sonic 2, Altered Beast... they're fun. Except Genesis has a huge repertoire of titles. Was final fantasy 4 too expensive with the franchise still in partial swing? Very dissapointed, should've paid closer attention to the line up. One of the many iterations of rampage would have made my rating slightly higher. No problems with the interface or difficulty levels, just that many of the games seem just thrown in there, they call this a favorites collection. Shows that Sony will try to sell you a semiprecious stone for ten times it's actual value, possibly even calling the official gemstone to Ecco the Dolphin. Three versions of Ecco the Dolphin, you gotta be pulling my leg!

A truly terrifying La Valse
|
This was one of my first classical discs which I bought in 1963. It trumpeted the RCA Dynagroove process, had Bolero on the first side and Pavane and La Valse on the other side. This CD now includes Rapsodie Espagnole and Mother Goose, both recorded in the late 1950s. All of the pieces would be fine first choices for a basic library. The Bolero is powerful with Munch adding extra drums for the finale, though Munch speeds up the tempo during the piece. The Pavane is a rather quick runthrough, but James Stagliano's horn solo is quite beautiful. The CD's biggest selling point is the La Valse. As Munch conducts it, this has to be one of the most terrifying pieces ever composed, up there with Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin and Stravinsky's Le Sacre de Printemps. The BSO is right there with him all the way. Both the Rapsodie and the Mother Goose are quite beautiful. As usual, Richard Mohr and Lewis Layton did a marvelous job of recording these pieces.

madman- i think ill turn into a madman after watching this atrocity
|
OH MY GOD-WHERE DO I BEGIN. Well if i had to choose a movie that best resembled Friday the 13th, this would take the cake. Its about a mad farmer who butchered his family blah blah blah and went into the woods where he was hung by the townspeople. The next day he was gone, still lurking in the woods. Cut somewhat years ahead and a group of teens are ready to close camp for the fall. Some loser who acts like he is in a William Shakespeare play tells them that if they say the farmers name above a whisper, he will hear it and kill everyone. YAWN!!! Well another loser calls out his name and guess what happens. No suspense. No T&A. Little gore. I had to fast forward the movie every 10 minutes because it took someone about 5 minutes to walk from room to room. I wasted 10 bucks on this garbage.

Pleasantly Surprised
|
This was the first book I had read by Emma Holly. It was a wonderful story of Edward and Florence. The love scenes were hot and imaginative. Many words were used to describe the scene and make your blood boil. Emma Holly knows what it takes to stretch the lovemaking out just far enough and when to draw you into the story. You find yourself caring for Florence with her shyness but underlying strength. If only she can convince herself what she truly wants instead of what is proper. Edward is like many men-arrogant, prideful, honor bound. But passion is more powerful as soon he finds out. Great book! Highly recommend.

Too heavy
|
We owned one of these for awhile. It was so heavy, just pushing it back and forth strained my back, never mind lifting it upstairs. So my husband took on the chore. (He'd picked it out to begin with). And it really did a great job on the carpets. But after a month or so, he hated it too, so he hired a housekeeper. She quit after a few weeks (maybe she had "back problems"?)We bought another one, this time I picked it out. It's a Hoover Wind Tunnel, not sure of the model #, but it's great. Not self propelled, but acts like it, and does a great job on the carpets & flooring. Not heavy, either. Best advice: check the weight on these things along with the other info. No matter how good they are, or how many bells & whistles they have, it's no good if you can't use it.(The only problem I have now is "no excuse" to get me out of vacuuming!)

Cranberry juice is the answer!
|
Everyone else here is right. This is a crazy good price but tastes totally awful... I was trying to think of the most potent flavor I could think of to mask the taste of this... Cranberry juice. I'm not talking about some watered down, sugarized, cranberry-flavored juice drink. I'm talking 100% pure, unadulterated cranberry juice. You know... The stuff that's so strong you usually can't drink it straight. I put just enough in the glass so that I can swirl the arginine around without it clumping. Then down the hatch. Works great! I recommend Lakewood Cranberry juice. Then you get the additional health benefits of 100% organic, fresh pressed juice...Lakewood PURE Cranberry Juice, 32-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)

Great Fun - Muy Caliente!
|
I have never had so much fun with an exercise video until I did the "Latin Workout". I was very impressed with Kathy and her assistants. The music was marvelous and very authentic. I love Afro-Cuban music. I really worked up a sweat. You can get a lot out of this video when you put more effort into the moves. This video is so enjoyable the time just flies by. I really had to get used to moving my hips. It felt so dirty but in a nice and sexy sort of way. I can exercise to this video everyday. So if anyone is considering starting an exercise program with a lot of fun, start off with this video.

Fun book to experiment with bread making
|
I bought this book in conjunction with a West Bend bread machine about 10 months ago. I'd never baked bread before by hand or otherwise so I thought a good book about it would be helpful. This book has been well used! For a while, I was actually trying to make every recipe in the book. I've made around 100 recipes, making bread 2-3 times a week. My family especially loves all the pizza doughs and pizza recipes. I didn't buy the bread machine with pizza in mind but we have it every other week now! We especially like the corn meal dough but they've all turned out quite well. In fact, few of the breads didn't turn out. Mostly it was my error in measuring or turned out to be too sweet for my family (big sourdough or French bread fans). I still have hardly tapped the recipes using starters - that's my next step.

The Writing
|
Yes, the performances are great, but don't forget about the writing. Nicholas Kazan's script has some great lines, mostly spoken by Walken. For example:"You'll come back, crawlin' back sayin' daddy daddy give me somethin." and"Whatever I see that moves, has my name writ on it: Brad Whitewood, please hold for delivery."or"What do you want to hear? I love ya? Is that it? I love ya. I got feelin' for ya."I could go on. Kazan captures the vernacular of the mid-Atlantic Pennsylvanian perfectly. And Walken sounds like he grew up there. Fast forward through some of Foley's excesses (the swimming hole scene, the corn field scene with M.ST. Mast.) to get to the heart of the matter.

Anthony Burns rocked my world
|
My overall view of this book, Anthony Burns, is that it is very slow. It was a good story about freedom and rights, but it could have been fifty-pages shorter. During the last four chapters it talked about Anthony and his court trial. Every chapter seemed the same which lost my interest quickly. I also think the book had to many characters. I could never keep track of which person the author was talking about. I think Anthony Burns' story is a good one, but I don't think it was written very well. For example, every chapter was a different season and it would skip years. Anthony Burns had a very inspiring life, fighting for freedom and being traded from master to master; however, the overall story was just not very interesting. My opinion of this book is that it is a good book about a man's fight for freedom, but it was too slow and slightly confusing. I think this book would appeal more to adults or history teachers.

Atrocious
|
I purchased this CD on Dave Koz's and Phil Ramone's reputation alone. I must say this is the WORST CD ever. Dave Koz might be a pretty face, but falls into the same pitfalls as Kenny G...actually I would've rather preferred Kenny G to this nonsense. India.arie, Anita Baker, and Vanessa Williams, artists that I love, just "phone in" their performances. Something that Phil Ramone should remember from doing those Frank Sinatra "Duet" albums. Dave Koz, instead of performing the entire melody of Cinema Paradiso, plays some sort of improv until the last minute or so of the song. Also, Barry Manilow is competent enough to perform to Moon River, and does a good job, but has to fight with the terrible sax solos. Donna Summer tries to do her best, but you feel she is holding back, or that Dave Koz is limiting her to make room for his obnoxious solos. Uugh...bland and terrible. The Pink Panther theme seems to work, but not for the whole 3 and some awful minutes. Steer clear of this one folks.

It makes you think...
|
The movie was a tad bit too long - just a tad.With that stated, the acting is phenomenal. There are no special effects to liven things up. There really isn't any set to speak of. This is a film that is firmly centered on the script, the ideas, and the actors' abilities to convey the words and thoughts. The rest is up to the viewer.Dogville has my mind spinning. It forces you to confront some seemingly simple ideas. The one concept that has me all conflicted is: arrogance vs. forgiveness. Everyone will walk away with a variety of issues to discuss with others. And, I would imagine that some of these conversation will be rather heated.Dogville isn't entertaining. This isn't a movie to watch if you just want to flake out. There are many powerful scenes and a tremendous amount of dialogue that will keep you engaged. Just make sure you're in the mood for almost three hours of thought.

Red Rabbit was a horror I could not finish. The Teeth of the Tiger is slightly better, though so unworthy of Clancy's earlier work. What really killed this effort was when the author repeated an anecdote about a minor character that was used in Red Rabbit, and only changed the names of the people involved. How lazy! And how disrespectful of your reader's I.Q. He needs to not be so arrogant and let someone proofread for him, to catch blunders like this. He also needs to go back to his earlier works and read them to retrain his mind. And if he can't do that, do his readers a favor and retire in honor, while he still has some left. If this story was the first time out for a novice, it would be a nice effort. But someone as seasoned as Clancy...shame,shame, shame. He should pay us to read it. Please, Mr. Clancy, give us another Hunt for Red October. Or Patriot Games.

Trash Unlimited
|
A friend (was) of mine, kept ranting and raving about how good this CD was. So I took their advise ( last time) and bought this CD. What total garbage and a what a waste of my money! The title song "crash" is lame, I wish my CD player would of "crashed" so I wouldn't have to listen to the rest of this scheisse!!! As to the "proudest monkey" ( should be entitled "Spanking the Monkey!) song, I think you could get a bunch of monkeys to sound better than this peice of you know what!Why are some of the worst songs the longest?!! As you can tell I am NO fan of Mr Matthews, but I did give it a try though. I would not recommend this trash to anyone unless I want to make an enemy out of someone. The only good thing about the CD? I made an excellent target for my K98 K Mauser!!!!!!!!!

It went down in history for a reason.

I'm 17, ssshh ;)This album..I don't know whether it can be put into words. There is no way to sum it up. There is no bottom line. But the amount of sales this CD is still generating speaks for itself.I have memories of my father playing this on vinyl. It was available on CD, but dad never caught up with these times! Still, even when I didn't know what Meatloaf was singing about, even when I had to be in bed by 8:30pm with his music ringing through my mind, I felt it.10 years down the track, and i've managed to pick up both the vinyl version and the remastered CD. Both have frequent play, by both me and my teenage mates. So many years down the track, this album still gets the blood pumping of the teen generation.It's epic. It's melo-dramatic and far, far over the top. But that's why we love it. Jim Steinman's impeccable pen abilities, combined with Meatloaf's emotionally charged, ballad churning voice, you have a classic.

Good intense thriller
|
I am taking a course in Graphic Design (computer graphics) at a community college whose drama group is putting on the play "Wait Until Dark." We were given a project to design a poster for the play - the best would be used for publicity. I did not see the movie when I was younger (I am retired and back in school for enjoyment) so I purchased the DVD to become familiar with the story. I liked it. It is a film in the Hitchcock tradition. It's not like the modern "slasher" or action movies. Instead, it grips you because the story relates to things that are much more plausible - by accident, anyone could be the target of nefarious people. The acting is quite good, especially Audrey Hepburn. I made the mistake of watching it on my computer while at school. I would recommend watching it on a larger screen in a darkened room. And just concentrate on the film; you need to let yourself get absorbed to get the full impact.

Not as advertised.

First, the noise shield does not work well at all. The video on the Jawbone website is a complete joke. Try it yourself. People can easily hear background noise and even things like passing cars. There is no wind shielding for the unit so even a breeze from walking fast is picked up. It does not adjust for volume in noisy environments well at all, although its supposed to do that.maybe mine is simply defective, but i doubt it. it looks good though.NOTE: I got a second unit. It completely does not shield background noise. Even minor background noise is audible. While the incoming audio quality is good, it appears all the issues are with outbound sound quality. I emailed Jawbone, since the eliminated telephone tech support.They did not respond.

Good for the Brain!

This was our first time with the PC game. (Me 40+ and daughter 10+ yr old). I was worried at first because my daughter choose to do the Senior Detective. It was awesome! We had a notebook and took notes throughout the game. Lots of fun! Very addicting! We are on Haunted Mansion right now. The excitement of discovering clues, finding keys etc.... causes us to give each other high a fives and hugs! Enjoy!!! We sure do!

The beginning of an anime legend
|
Ichigo Kurosaki has been able to see ghosts since he was a small child. His mother was killed by a ghost many years ago. He now lives with his father and 2 little sisters. One day he meets Rukia Kuchiki. She's a soul reaper that kills evil spirits called hollows. While facing a dire situation Rukia gives her power to Ichigo. He has now made a decision to protect the living world from hollows, and to help tormented souls pass on.Bleach is an amazing anime. I don't think there's an anime fan out there that hasn't at least heard of it. It has dozens of awesome characters, and countless amazing battles. As well as some incredible drama. My only beef with this series is the huge amount of filler that is involved. Other than that Bleach is awesome. If you haven't seen it you must watch it immediately. It's insanely good.

Be ForeWarned: This is a graphic murder mystery.
|
I'd read nine or ten of McCullough's books before and loved every one of them. So I was pleased to see this new novel. What a surprise! This is a far cry from 'Caesar's Women', 'The Ladies of Missalonghi', or 'The Touch'. This is a graphic, grizzly, gripping murder mystery. The story starts out slow; matter of fact, I almost gave up on it. There are too many characters introduced very quickly in the beginning. It gets confusing, but hang in there. Once the story gets rolling, it's hard to put the book down, unless you really don't want to read about the deeds of a rapist-murderer who preys on young women. I was fascinated and enjoyed the morbid read, although like many of the other reviewers, I was disappointed that the author did not tie up all the loose ends. I'm tempted to look to see if her website provides some answers!

A gem with tiny flaws. Don't miss this one!
|
Yes, yes, yes. The book needs photos and maps: all the critics are right. But hold onto your hats when you read this book. You will be blown away! You will enter a world you have never experienced and never will experience. Gold rush, shipwreck, crazy engineers, crazy lawyers, modern pirates, billions in booty. And the beat goes on. This book tops itself on every page. Ignore the carpers who look at the imperfections. You'll learn and be vastly entertained at the same time. If you enjoyed "Paddle to the Amazon" and "Into Thin Air", don't miss this one.

Junk

I bought these speakers after reading some of the reviews. I thought maybe I would get a decent sound at a discounted price. I replaced a factory head unit with a JVC 50x4. And replaced factory speakers with these. They blew on me at volume levels less than half of what the JVC can put out. Remember the JVC has 50 watts RMS and these speakers are marketed with 140 watts RMS. Give me a break! I would in reality say they have 20 watts RMS. These speakers are not four way they are three way, another false representation in marketing. Now I have to install speakers all over again. You can bet I'll go with a good set of Pioneer or Kenwood this time.

Linksys PC Card v3 - Don't Do It
|
I am an IT professional with 14 years of experience. I have the Linksys wireless hub and love it. I have been using the Orinoco PC card with the hub and have been very pleased. I bought a new Dell laptop for my wife. I bought the Linksys PC Card v3 to connect the Dell laptop to the network. The Linksys PC Card's performance is (bad). I have now tried the Orinoco and Linksys cards head to head in the Dell computer. Where the Orinoco card gets a good signal, the Linksys card gets a poor signal. It also appears that the Linksys driver locks up the Dell laptop when restoring from a sleep or hibernate state. I have not experienced the lock ups with the Orinoco. I attempted to update the firmware in the Linksys card, but I couldn't get the upgrade program to work, it was looking for some system files that did not exist. Do not buy this card, even if you have had success with other Linksys products.

East Prussian American Looks Back and Forward
|
My great grandmother came from near Danzig. Her name was Tarnowski, and obviously had Slavic origins. Her husband, a Proesch from Mecklenburg, was a descendant of the Slavic Abotrite tribes (ca. 800). They both considered themselves German. This book explained to me the ethic confusion of areas like Poland/Prussia. It also highlighted a fact that history has witnessed with Poland: You can wipe it off the map politically, but a Polish/Prussian sensibility will remain. What can this mean for the future? I believe Prussia is, indeed, not dead. Also, that WWIII is not neccesarily the inevitible result of such a conflict. Is the extinction of Prussia another Versailles-like offense to the German people, or can accommodation be made to deflate this "ethnic" horror? I welcome response.

Wow. Don't waste your money on this one, unless you are a white, anglo saxon and view history only from that perspective. I love history and was so excited to see this movie. So disappointing. I could hardly get through it. So much hype and exaggeration. So much emotion and lack of scholarship. So non impressive. I Love America and I love studying our history, but this silly movie does not deserve the plastic disc it is recorded on. Lots of emotion and national ego is what fueled the Nazi movement in Germany. Truth is what sets us free; ego is just pride, and pride is blind and takes us away from our best selves, and God.

Almost no text-an Audubon "where's Waldo"
|
I purchased this one the grounds that it was a Caldecott winner or runner up or whatever. I was disappointed. I like the illustrations, which are of a marsh, and have some very realistic illustrations of birds, badgers, salamanders, etc. but there is almost no text. The whole idea for this book is to find the missing baby duckling on the page, someplace, as it hides behind a log or whatever in the background. Sort of a "where's waldo" for a duckling. So far my one year old has not caught onto this, and seems really bored by this...Here is the total text for the entire book, with numbers denoting pages.1.Early one morning...2. none3. none4.none5. none6.none7. none8.

Bad and Sad
|
The producers got to be laughing all the way to the bank. What a sad and bad use of cinematic intent. How unoriginal. I've seen more captivating home movies than this. Three naive and maladjusted college kids get lost in the woods. They lose their heads as much because they're lost as because of the supposedly spooky shenanigans goin' on. How original is it, to say nothing of how UNscary it is, having a forest of human stick figures, a la Burning Man, appear in a wooded clearing? Why should groups of rocks be scary or significant? Why do muffled sounds in the forest night engender fear rather than simple acknowledgment of nighttime forest reality? Who knows, and who cares, after witnessing this great hype job! The only 5-star quality to this movie is the wondrous marketing sucker job perpetrated upon the public. Don't waste your time.

Old Loves Die Hard
|
I have known the Triumvirat band for at least 20 years. I have always compared them in quality and novelty to Pink Floyd, Emerson-Lake-and-Palmer, and others. The thing is they really never made big. In order of preferance I would put Illusions on a Double Dimple, Spartacus and Old Loves Die Hard. These three albuns were made by the original Triumvirat group. The main caracteristics is the white little mouse in the albun's cover. There is other albuns' by Triumvirat. However, they are not the original and they do not use the white little mouse as simbol. Also, they lack the music quality of the first three albuns'. Also, I have searched for these albuns for quite some time, I only could find them here. Very nice!

Not Durable
|
I will keep it simple. It works great. It looks great. This is the second one we have owned. Both have failed prematurely as the gear mechanism that opens the lid is less than a quarter inch wide and made of plastic. Each time it has failed the gear (i.e., snaps). The last trash can lasted 7 months. We are going to buy a step operated can next. The step trash can is more money but a ten year warranty. It is also cheaper in the long run. Take it from two engineers (wife and I), this is not a durable design. The Achilles heel is the tiny gear. Then the whole thing is trash (pun intended)!

This Remote was worth the price and then some
|
I finally found the easiest remote to setup and use. Logitech took the guess work out of universal remotes hands down. I got the chance to set this up and it works as advertised. I let it charge for a few hours. I then proceeded to load the software on my computer. Connected the remote to a USB port, and it updated the remote with the last software. Once that completed the setup wizard allowed me to add in all of my components. It was easy as pie. I then proceeded to try the remote on my home theater components. Everything works perfectly. I would definitely recommend this remote to anyone looking for ease of use, easy setup, and excellent quality. Thank you Amazon and Logitech.

I normally would have not written this, however I must share my expriences with these bottles. First all they are totally AWESOME!!! They have made my life so much easier. I was having trouble with my preemie (10 weeks early) after being relaesed from the NICU. She eats are every 3 hours. I spent 1 1/2 hours trying (struggling) to feed, burp and dealing with non-stop crying. It had become such a chore I was at the verge of post pardum depression. I had tried every bottle known to MAN!! I tried Dr. Brown and reduced the expreince to 1/2 hr minus the crying and burping is a sinch. Our baby is so much happier and so am I. My loyalty is with Dr. Brown.

5 PPM does not equal 10 PPM
|
My April 2012 review - I have taken this product before. Love the price and the quick turn-around. Unfortunately this is not measuring up to current 10 PPM. I have been testing my water, RO, distilled and tap. All in spec. (Meter is good) This claims 10 PPM, but all I get is 5 PPM. I tested competitor Sovereign = 8 PPM. Both claim 10 parts, but are not measuring up. I have been fighting sinus and flem in chest. I have been taken larger dosage then recommended with no results, 7 days plus. Saline nose rinse seems to work best, I was looking to create feed-back to seller but all I could find is reply about packaging. Shipping and delivery were fine, but not effective in my type A blood body. My 5 star as rated before, is now 1 star. Sorry. I would like my money back if I can get them to respond. Purchased on Amazon but not sold by them. Amazon sticks by what they sell, at least so far with my returns.

Don't waste your money
|
First off Amazon won't let anyone give minus stars! I should have listened to "thestudent" review. The book is great but the software is as funcitonal as the nipples on a man's chest. It will not run on XP Pro with SP2 installed. The new pop up blocker M$ has installed can't be turned off and blocks all of the alleged multimedia. I went to the publishers website and guess what....they haven't updated a darn one of their "Interactive" products since 2001!!!!! Hello here its 2004. The book is great the software belongs in the trash! Get the book....burn the software. Mr. Hernandez get a new publisher or have them pull this product. Quite frankly your veracity is on the line for not having having an updated verson nor getting the publisher to advise potential buyers of what I have mentioned.

Please read this all of you people who actully like MB20

I really liked Matchbox 20 three years ago, but hear latey I really have started to hate them. I like there songs Back to Good Push and Real World but all of there other songs are pretty bad. Also, they show that they don't really care about there fans since they are taking so long in releasing another album. It don't take three year the make an album. If they keep up at these rate then they will have like four albums by the time they are 50. Maybe they have ran out of song ideas. I don't know. During these time of waiting I have found a really good band Collective Soul. They have a really good cd "Dosage" so check it out if you are sick of waiting on Matchbox 20 too.(Oh, and next time guys, turn up the guitars some. They are very weak.)

Definitely an epic
|
An absolutely fantastic book! I cannot wait to read the next one! This book has everything - adventure, betrayal (lots and lots of betrayal), romance, and the characterization is excellent! I didn't feel like this book read like fantasy either. Aside from talk of dragons and The Others, it felt more like I was reading historical fiction. My favorite thing about the book is the way that each chapter is told from the viewpoint of a different character. It gave so much more insight into the characters and their way of thinking. Characterization is a very important part of a book for me. Also, no matter what I thought was coming, I was surprised! Sometimes, not pleasantly. It appears that Mr. Martin doesn't have a problem with letting you get attached to a character and then killing them off. That's okay though. It made for a very interesting read.

Dar Williams Rocks (if I was straight, I'd marry her)
|
I love this CD END OF SUMMER. I first caught Dar on Public TV in a show where she followed David Gray. In this CD, she seems in good company with Gray as kind of techno-folkies. Her love song to public radio "Are You Out There" was the song that brought me to this CD. But "What Do You Hear in these Sounds?" knocked me out, moved me. In this song, she said things about therapy that are pointed, poignant and thrilling. "But oh how I loved everybody else/ When I finally got to talk so much about myself." "Party Generation" is a catchy anthem. Hearing the CD made me sad that I had not discovered Dar Williams sooner. And sad that she has yet to reach the popularity of a Sarah McLachlan or David Gray. But give the girl a year or two!

Watered-down parody
|
This is a mediocre movie by any means, less than mediocre compared to The Terminator, and unwatchable compared to Terminator 2. I don't care how many lasers the T-X fires while in that crane truck, the action was no where as riveting as the T2 18-wheeler vs the dirt bike. An utterly uninspiring villian, barely a few threads of plot- many of which unravel once you start asking too many questions . . . (i.e. if Ah-nold has two hydrgen cells in him, why didn't he use one to off the T-1000 in the last movie?)All attempts of humor seemed campier and far less appropriate than the dark humor we have seen in the previous movies."Talk to da hand!" ?? where the hell is that coming from?Edward Furlong made the best decision of his life to not be in this movie. If this sequel was ever really worth making, James Cameron would have done it and he would have done it right. This should never had been made.

This is the best DK game ever! On the best system ever. Here are descriptions of the characters: 1.Donkey Kong- the main character of the game. He has many new abilities.

What the hell, GMAC?
|
Haven't taken the GMAT yet, but I have to review this book because it kind of sucks and it's frustrating. I have found more than several misprints, and just some weird information in there that just isn't right. I bought this because I wanted at least a feel for what I am going to be up against when I take the actual GMAT, but I can't believe how there are misprints and inaccuracies in this book. How will people be truly prepared, if that's the case?!The math review is helpful, but there is little to no advice when it comes to the sections regarding data sufficiency and sentence correction. One of the tips for sentence correction just tells you to read! Books, newspaper, whatever, because they generally use correct grammar. What?! Seriously, GMAC?I use the problems in this book for drill, in tandem with the Princeton Review books for strategies. I think that's the best way to go. I sure hope the 12th edition has improved on the misprints and whatnot... buyer beware!

A movie!
|
As a huge Michael Crichton fan this is the first book that was a disappointment. The beginning was good. The technical information and research was interesting as always in Crichtons books. The middle held my attention until the ongoing similar type of fighting and chasing got to be tedious. Enough was enough. By the time I got to the end I struggled not to skip ahead. The biggest disapppointment was that this book was definitely written to be a movie. I noticed this from very close to the beginning. I kept seeing the Indiana Jones movie in my head as I read this book. As a faithful reader I look forward to Crichtons next book but would like to see him get back in touch with his readers. In the future, rather than writing a script for a movie I will hope he writes an authentic novel as were his novels in the past.

A Very Disappointed Fan
|
I was a devoted fan of Norah's. I have all her albums. But recently, I have become very disappointed with her current albums. I'am a jazz devotee. When I counted all the reviewers who share my disappontment with this latest album, I decided to look for an up and coming jazz vocalist who sings, plays, composes jazz. I was lucky to find such a singer at the jazz festivals I attended. Let me introduce you to Dena Derose, who I think is everything that Norah is not. "Love's Holiday" is an extremely satisfying, refreshing CD. Her signature sound is vocalizing her piano solos or scatting with her swinging piano solos. Her voice is crystalline in sound, with impeccable jazz phrasing where she can easily change keys or slide through the bars with horn-like pacing. She has an outstanding backup group that she has organized. DeRose has arrived. I guarantee there won't be one disappointed jazz fan of Dena Derose. Win me back Diana..

this gun sucks!!!!
|
I didn't get this gun on amazon but I had the exact same gun but I got this gun at a gun store for $60. The silencer broke on the first day. The brand of this gun is CYMA. The fps is 210 fps with .12s and for a cheap gun, the firing rate is pretty good. Well, that is when it works. This gun lasted me about 7-10 wars and 1 month and it is extremely flimsy. It is super inaccurate. If you want to shoot the guy i front of you, you have better luck shooting the guy next to you The fps stinks and this gun isn't powerful. I shot my 5 year old brother in the neck from 5 feet away and he didn't even notice. When it broke I disassembled it and the gears and the gearbox is very cheap plastic. there is not one metal part in the gun exept for the spring. Now I have a Tokyo Marui mp5 with 300 fps with .20s. It rocks! Its lasting me longer that this piece of trash. Buy this gun for looks and don't buy this gun if you're using it for airsoft with your friends, unless they have trashy guns too!

What a letdown
|
I was so excited to have a book to read over spring break, as a mother of two I do not get much time to read these days. At first, I was overjoyed as the first 100 pages or so kept me turning. I just loved the Persian family, and soon, I found myself skipping the other characters accounts as they felt flat, unrealistic and uninteresting. OK, so this married cop falls in love with Kathy, the woman he escorts from her home? Just like that? Maybe I can deal with that, but then, he learns she is a recovering addict and just shoves alcohol at her constantly! And it sends her OVER THE EDGE! Who didn't see that coming?! She is an addict!! I know they wanted me to just turn the pages, just dying to find out what happened...I was dying for it to be over! What a depressing story, I am getting rid of it ASAP.

Fashion Polly Overall!
|
Fashion Polly is much like Polly Pockets, but is bigger and has changeable clothes. So, therefore, it is like a barbie. I do recommend this for kids older than four. Kids would eat the small shoes. What makes this unique is that the clothes are like a plastic/elastic material. They are worse than cloth because they can rip, but this toy is fun. It is not at all educational, but is a little teaching your child speech. Your child, I believe, will be less shy with this toy. I say this because if he/she is playing with a friend, they can learn a conversation through dolls. I think this is more a girl's toy, but boys are welcome to play with it. You might have to have a special bin for these toys because they easily get lost. I am getting this for my birthday even though I am eleven. My sister says it's babyish, but really it's just like barbies. (And adults collect barbies) SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE FUN WITH THIS TOY!

Become one of the hummus cult!
|
Some good people from Jordan introduced me to hummus years ago. I loved that taste right away. For the uninitiated it is basically a bean dip, consisting of garbanzo beans (aka Chick peas) with added spices, and Tahini, which is sesame based peanut butter. According to Wikipedia: "Chickpeas are high in protein and one of the earliest cultivated vegetables. 7,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East". Nowadays I'm a nut for the Casbah hummus mix. My recipe: mash 1 can of garbanzo beans, add the mix, stir in water to your preferred consistancy. Eat with whole wheat pita bread, tomatos, onion. A healthy, satisfying, inexpensive, easy to make meal. There are many recipes to make hummus from scratch on the net, most pretty basic. I tried a few, results passable, but not as delectable as this fool proof mix.

SATISFYING SEQUEL TO "BEYOND THE GATHERING STORM"!!!
|
As an avid christian fiction reader, I eagerly await new books by my favorite authors. This book was well worth the wait. I don't know about anyone else, but I was disappointed when Janette Oke ended the Canadian West series a number of years ago. I was incredibly pleased to see her continue on last year, with "Beyond the Gathering Storm" and I have been anxiously awaiting this book. It is supurbly written and was satisfying in the end. There is just enough suspense to make it impossible to put down. It is a book that reminds the reader how important faith in God really is and that if you listen to Him, you will not choose the wrong path for you life. I am hoping that Oke decides to contine on with this series. I am looking forward to seeing these characters again. Happy reading!!

I really like this light. I found the lighting to be even and with no glare when positioned the right way. I thought that it might be in the way of the buttons but it wasn't at all. I used this light in complete darkness and in low light and it worked just as great in both situations. The only thing I didn't like is it requires a separate set of batteries and the batteries were not included in the packaging. I can't compare to the worm light or the shark light because I have not used either, but I did buy and return the lightboy. I was not able to see the screen very well at all!! It basically put a glare over the entire screen! The traplight was the replacement for the lightboy and after using the traplight I don't feel that I could find a better light in any of the other choices. Buy the traplight! You will definately glad you did!!!

What happened...?
|
What happened to these guys? Their other albums were great. You can practically smell Fred Durst's arrogance. They went horribly down hill. They cant get it together. They sold out. You see them on TRL more that Britany Spears, and that is sad. They have sold out more than anyone. They used to be really cool, now theyre stupid. No wonder everyone suggest gay things n addition to this cd. That includes N'sync . I think its sad that Limp bizkit went from awsome to being in the same class as N'sync. All around this cd is horrible. I would have given it zero but they wouldnt let me. I cant belive it. Dont spend your hard earned money on a bunch of posers who wear their red caps backwards, pretend to be skaters, Try to hard to act like theyre young, went down the tubes...

Nice way to tell the old Bible story
|
I thought this was really well written for kids to understand. The illustrations are also very nice and decorative. This story would let little kids know what happened with the big flood in a short, easily understandable way. This is also a new version too. There are other versions out there in children's books that tell the story about Noah's Ark. But in my opinion, this beats all the other ones by far. The text is pretty descriptive. This helps so that little children can understand and picture the story easier in their minds. The story also illustrates how strong Noah's faith had to be to go and build an ark and all. The story sets a prime example of how everyone's faith should be. Noah didn't quit building the ark, he had faith and continued his mission from God.

She Never Stopped!!!!
|
I bought this CD the first time I had it in my hand. I learned that this was her last recorded album and passed away shortly afterwards w/o her knowing of its release. It is a lot of covered magteriel(which is unusual for her to do a complete album in this way). The ballads are outstanding and her version of "Going In Circles" is undoubtedly best in the CD and probaly the best version of its many recordings! It woke me up for the first time of its beauty in words and harmony. All the songs are good dance songs, fantastic mellow ballads, and a wonderful surprise with Martha's old song!!No one can be dissapointed with this CD and it will be in my personal collection as look as I have a collection! Aretha once gave her the attention that Esther deserved one year when she mentioned that Esther should have been reconized more and that the award should have been in Esthers' hands instead of hers. Besides, its an example of what music is all about. I get high just thinking of it!!!

why it might be banned...

JD. Salinger has written the personality and language of an animal few humans try to know, the seventeen year old human male. This was reality in its greatest show, a masterpiece by all means. I hated it. I was supposed to hate it because I'm a female, middle aged woman with high propriety. Sure, the language in the book bothered me; it was supposed to. But I saw that its intent was to explain a boy with a tough facade. Later in the book, on page 157, the facade melts when the boy recalls the happy days of childhood and going to the Museum of Natural History with Phoebe. The "damns" almost disappear. As far as censorship, it would be a terrible shame if this book were to be censored. No other book that I know has ever captured the tone, vernacular, and character of the most vulnerable person of our modern society, the 17 year old boy. I would highly recommend this book to parents, educators, and young wives. It is wonderful, but awful

Not Bad
|
I wanted a little MP3 player to wear around the house while I was cleaning. This fits the bill, and I love the clip on feature. I would've given this 5 stars except for the fact that the volume doesn't get terribly loud. Also, I don't like ear pods because they tend to fall out of my ears. I thought I'd just swap a pair of regular, "walkman" style headphones, but they won't fit. Too big. Come to find out these are 2.5mm headphones. It does come with some sort of adapter, but I think that's for even larger headphones, so it didn't work with what I had. All in all, it's a nice little player for $25. I suppose it's probably better that the volume doesn't get so loud (better for your hearing), but I still like my music kinda loud. Now I'm on the hunt for a pair of 2.5mm headphones that fit over your head and have a volume control on the cord. Not a bad deal overall.

Who's Da Man?
|
Travis Hunter, that's who! This is my first Travis Hunter novel, but it sure as HE@@ won't be my last. I try to read books written by my black brothers, but I found that I can't get into them unless it's something on the non-fiction shelf. Fiction has always been a problem for me. A One Woman Man was given to me by my cousin in Atlanta who is a Hunter fan to her bones. She said, "You gotta read this." It was a gift, so I felt I owed it to her to do so. I read it in three hours - an all time record for me. I'm glad I gave it a chance because I honestly loved it and now, I guess I'm a Hunter fan too. I'm going online today to order his other stuff. Cuz says those are good too and she's made a believer out of me. Travis Hunter has renewed my faith in the black male fiction writer.

Started good but now it doesn't work
|
I never really liked this mp3 player. I have had it for about 1 year now. When I first got it worked but had some bugs. Songs not showing up in the playlist and minor things like that. As time went on it began to lock up on regular basis. I updated its firmware but it still crashes. I have around 100 songs on it and today added 4 more songs. When I plugged in the earphones the only songs on it were the 4 that I just added. I hooked it up to my computer to verify that the songs were really gone and they were. Tried both modes too. MTP and MSC. Enough is enough. I am done with it. This thing has never been dropped doesn't even have one scratch, or speck of dust on it. I will never buy anything from this company again. The only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because it kind of worked for 1 year.

Vastly disappointing...
|
I like Liz Phair. Only, I'm talking about "Exile in Guyville" Liz Phair. I love that CD. I adore it. Songs like "F*ck and Run" and "The Divorce Song" and "Help Me Mary" were so honest and so truthful, I couldn't help but love them. But this CD...it was your typical, sugary pop music. And I think if you take this album, and listen to it without ever knowing about Liz Phair's past records, it's OK. "Why Can't I?" is infectious and easily gets stuck in your head. "Friend of Mine" seems kind of earnest and honest, and I found the lyrics very easy to relate to. "Rock Me" is funny. But if you put this next to "Exile in Guyville," it's a shame, a really unfortunate shame. It doesn't even hold a candle to it.

Was quite a shock first hearing this
|
This CD offers a bonanza of 1. rip-your-face-off and 2. rip-your-heart-out covers that stand with the best of the Beatles' coverings (except their immortal `Twist and Shout', of course, the greatest cover of all time). The former: `She Said Yeah', `All Shook Up', `I Got Stung' and `Honey Hush'. The latter: `No Other Baby', `Coquette' and `Lonesome Town'. In between is the powerful but comic `Brown-eyed Handsome Man'. Then there are the three originals, led by Paul's wildest romp since `I'm Down', namely `Run Devil Run'. `Try Not to Cry' and `What it Is' are both hearty fare that shakes off impending threats of sentimentality. Gripping, hard-edged Mac. Unexpected to say the least. I was totally caught off guard by how dynamic and authentic these tracks sounded. But as good as they sound here, the covers and the originals go over even better, much better in fact, when alternated with the more stellar solo efforts of John, George and Ringo. As nature intended.

Not a reliable product...
|
I bought this printer from WorstBuy about 6 months ago. The first machine was DOA. That should have been a warning. The next machine worked well for 4 months. Then the paper started feeding crooked half the time. Then the VERY EXPENSIVE black ink went out. I changed it and the first ink cartrige would not work. We called and they told us it was a defective ink cartridge and to exchange it. Did that and ink never quite came out very well, very faded. Now the printer will not communicate with the computer.I will NEVER buy another Lexmark product again. What a pile.Also, I'm done with WorstBuy and they're know-nothing sales-kids.Always check the reviews. You'll find out what problems and issues real people are having with the stuff you spend your hard earned money on.PS Some (if not all) Dell printers are manufactured by Lexmark, FYI.

Just Say No to Thugs!

Yes, one star for this stereo typical studio tactic. Initially releasing ONLY the theatrical versions until sales have dwindled to nothing and then we get the "New and improved" product that they had waiting under their wings the whole time.Holding out on us huh? Why I Otta... I strongly recommend that You and I the customers eliminate this pathetically transparent / Double your Money making sleazy tactic and NOT! Repeat, NOT purchase these releases. We have the Money. They want our money. We have the power to stop this greedy tactic by being smart enough NOT to keep buying into this. Do we want to complain? Or do we want to finally take a stand? What could be simpler. Just don't buy it! I'm not.

Unfulfilled Potential
|
I was incredibly excited to read this book. I generally love novels surrounding WWII and had heard the fascinating story of the author. I was thrilled that a masterful piece of literature survived such a harrowing experience and was published years after the author's death. Unfortunately, I have been extremely disappointed. I find myself loathing the characters. A majority of the characters represent the upper class and are portrayed as snobby, arrogant, and inconsiderate fools. I haven't quite finished the book yet, but am forcing my way through it. I'm reading this for a book club that I run. If not for the book club, I would have given up long ago. From The Diary of Anne Frank to Atonement, there are many books that better portray the harsh reality many people faced during this time frame. I know they weren't all arrogant idiots. A disappointment, clearly.

Oh, no, not yet another generation being exposed to these !
|
When I first had these readers assigned to me in 1953 they were the most boring books I ever read or have read thereafter. "Mother" stays home and wears dresses. "Father' goes to work. In 1953 I don't remember many families like that, and for sure today's children are not being reared in that style. I cannot imagine how awful and strange these books must seem to children who now have instant information accessible to them via computers and the Internet. To compare then and now, nowadays children are often (not all school districts) expected to be able to read before they start kindergarten. Back then, when we started kindergarten we were taught to count from one to ten and learn "to say our ABC's". I was very disappointed to see these books are still around! Go, Go, Go, Run, Run, Run, Vomit, Vomit, Vomit! And to all of you who also gave them one star, Clap, Clap, Clap! You are wise people.

I Recommend It
|
This CD is a complete compilation of all the songs from TLOZ: OOT. For the most part I like it, but it has some drawbacks. See, when Ocarina of Time first came out, I bought the soundtrack off of Nintendo, which only had 29 songs. Obviously, it hardly contains every song from the game, but the ones on this track are so much longer. Example: in my CD, Track Number 25, Gerudo Valley, runs through the 'verses' twice and then concludes, whereas on this CD, it only runs through once. Acually, it does that for most of the tracks. Zora's Domain on this CD is only about a minute and a half, while mine is longer. I recommend this CD to anyone who is a devout Legend of Zelda fan. It has everything on it, I was thrilled (I especially liked the Temple tracks). They arranged it well, though I think one of the tracks is repeated somewhere. Anyway, I think it's worth the money. GO FOR IT!!!

Lol...eventually a few zzzz's
|
Well, let me just say this...and I'm going to make this short. I found this movie more funny than scary. I was not even scared or creeped. I really wasn't sure if this movie was supposed to be a comedy or a horror, or both mixed together. What was up with the tank/truck on the big wheels? What's with the friend wearing the clogs?! LOL! I found myself laughing at things that were probably not meant to be funny. I didn't even make it through the movie...I fell asleep. I think my boyfriend fell asleep too. Well...if you are a serious horror movie fan, don't waste your time. If you want something to watch because there's nothing on, then try this.

not jesus christ bobby
|
I'm sorry but this is not Minus. Hardly close. Yes, it is more accessible and yes the sound is cleaned up but what Jesus Christ Bobby was is what actually had turned me on to the band. It was raw, it was different and I believed that it would lead towards a path of new music to come ala JCB. Halldor Laxness suffers heavily under the more mainstream sound and is less interesting than Minus's previous effort. I can just about stand the first track on this cd but that's about it. I'm sorry, whoever said "this is what punk music should sound like" should retake their music education. Halldor Laxness is far from punk and hope that punk will never sound like this. I'm glad that it sofar doesn't. If you really enjoyed JCB then stay away from HL. Its not worth your penny for which it's currently being offered for. This review gets 1 star for being so cheap.

This camera stinks
|
I bought this camera and it broke 3 weeks later. I'm so glad I spent 6 bucks on the warranty and got my money back. Now i'll go out and buy a real camera. I was living in the dark ages and never bought a digital camera. I broke down on the morning that I was leaving for a weekend trip and headed around the corner to Radio Shack to zip in and oout with a new camera. This one SEEMED like it was exactly what I needed so I was satisfied at first. In and out in 10 minuted. I took it with me and was disgusted. Focus is terrible. God forbid you want to take an action picture or a picture with low light. All you'll get is a blurry, grainy mess. Anyway, one day I simply hit the power button to turn the camera off, and it completely froze, for good. Nothing. Took it back to Radio Shack, got my money back, and I'm gonna buy someting that's actually worth $300. Well, at least I got to use a camera that weekend for free. Don't buy this camera.

This book was da bomb!!!!!!!!!!
|
I love this book. All the stories was good. The one by Lajill Hunt(Who Got Game?) was the best. It is about a gril name Lyric Crenshaw. She been playing the game so long that she has it down pat. She never thought she would find love, and when she does,that is when the story gets good. Good job Lajill Hunt!! The story left you thinking is thier a part 2?Thomas Long's story about Precious Pain (Diamond N Da Rough) was good also. Precious is haunted by a memory of a bad childhood. The way this plays out is da bomb!!KaShamba Williams story about Juicy Brown (The Life Of Juicy Brown) was off the chain!!! This was a good story. I have never read anything like it in my life. She had lived so much by age 18 it was not funny. This story has baby daddy drama off the hook!I read this book in less than 3 days. I could not put it down.Great job to all 3 authors and I am waiting on y'all's next books. This is better than Around The Way Girls. THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK!!!!!!!

DON'T DO IT
|
My husband and I purchased this car seat for his truck. I have a Britax in my car. Like most Graco car seat products it's really awful to install. I usually get my cardio workout from it which is often since the straps tend to develop a slack on one side because of a horrible design flaw! The only way to 'fix' the slack is to re-attach the strap to the holder on the back of the seat! I usually have to uninstall the car seat completely to fix the problem for it only to reoccur within a few uses. It really bothers me that Graco seems to think that this design flaw is ok and shouldn't affect your child in a car wreck. Yea RIGHT!!Save yourself the trouble and tears and spend the money on a Britax. I promise you, it's WORTH the money! Don't skimp. I wish we hadn't!

Very good film. Should have more views.
|
Jack Higgins/Harry Patterson is a known master of the action thriller genre. What sets him apart from other writers in the genre how he makes the characters more "alive". All his books have a strong emotional element that really makes the story memorable.This is evident in this film adaptation. Fairly faithful to the book, it has great performances from all and is well made. I'm very surprised its not better known. Its really a good film.Rourke is in fine form as the former IRA hitman. Everything from his accent to his acting is super. This is one of his best performances ever. The film also features a young Liam Neeson in a short but memorable role. Alan Bates and Bob Hoskins are both superb as well.To cut a long story short, if you like action thrillers with a good story, watch this film.Oh and Bill Conti's score to the film is good. The scene with Rourke playing BACH on the Church organ is fantastic. A great cinematic moment.

Love it - But Keystone Cop Manufacturing
|
Only the first mini bought several years ago functioned well for any consistent amount of time. I bought a three pak this time. Never again. Lets see....how frustrated did I get when the first one died within a day or two? I calmly went out back and swung that mother around and then let go on the downward. Kaboom goes the mini vs. concrete. Felt pretty darn good actually. I ended with one of the middle fingers and calmly headed back inside. I am still finding pieces from time to time. Numbers two and three, oh forget it. They all sucked. That honestly says it all. Don't waste time or money.

Do NOT buy this toaster
|
Buyer beware!!! It looks good, but doesn't work. One side of the 4-slice toaster went out after a couple months of having it. We called the 800# that came with it. It took a few calls to reach anyone, we left messages and no one ever got back to us. Finally, we reached a live person and received a service # and address to send the toaster back for repair. After a couple months we called to find out where our toaster was. We left numerous messages and no one ever got back to us. I know they recieved it because they signed for it. Anyway, it's a year later and they still haven't returned our calls or the toaster!! We bought a 4-slice CuisinArt that we're very happy with, but we're out our original $79. Save yourself the agony, don't buy this toaster.

The Clip Job
|
Howie Carr says he hates Whitey and Billy Bulger. But he really loves them. He's been making his living off them for years. Without the Bulger bros., he'd be out of work. But you think that after all those years, he would have paid attention or at least tried to verify his facts. But I guess when you have your own radio show and newspaper column, you begin to believe that whatever you say or write has to be correct, without following through on your journalistic mandate to get it right! Aside from gleaning his facts from previously written articles by his fellow Herald scribes, Howie didn't even seem to bother to check the transcripts of all the court cases over the years. My advice--skip this clip job and read BRUTAL by Kevin Weeks. At least the stuff in his book was vetted by 3 juries, the DEA, the DOJ, the Mass. State Police, etc. And he's not a blowhard who thinks he's the second coming of Mike Royko or Jimmie Breslin. Sorry Howie, but you just get one star...

Didn't love it
|
I'll keep this short. I'm a grown man with grown man hands, and this handle was very tight against the base and short. Very uncomfortable to pour when full. You can't pour with the lid on. Liquid frequently ran down the side of the pitcher when it did pour due to the infinitesimal spout. And mine cracked within two days of putting tea into it to cool down in the fridge. I left the tea out for a good hour after it came to boil, so the liquid was warm but not excessively so. My cheap crappy $1 store pitchers can take it. But not this.I bought this pitcher to look nicer in my fridge for company, but nothing about this pitcher was fun for me. It's bulk in my fridge for it's size, tough to pour, and cracked where far cheaper pitchers held up. It is pretty though.

I didn't like it

W. Kaplan "calyndula"'s review makes this book sound like a classic. And it is. It's an old story and alot of people like it. But just because something's labeled 'classic', doesn't mean it's always interesting and simply wonderful. Do not be fooled, I love horses and horse books, it's just that this one, put quite simply, is one big yawn. It is often sold with a gold chain with the "Pie" on it. The chain isn't even worth the price: No matter how gentle you are with it, it will eventually break. Until the 15th chapter, there's no excitement, no cliffhangers...not even any tragedies for pete's sake! Just a bunch of silly nonsense and 'classic' dumb 'english' language. It's VERY confusing and hard to understand. I mean, I don't mind some good old-style language, but for heaven's sake! I may sound like an overly critical old-style book hater, but I'm not. The movie was better. I'm just saying this book doesn't deserve 16 chapters. That's my two cents, take it or leave it.

Definitely a step up from p90X
|
There are four DVD workouts in the P90X+ series and one supplemental workout.Upper PlusTotal Body PlusUpper PlusIntervals PlusKenpo Cardio PlusAbs/Core PlusThese are some serious workouts. I found them a nice blend to p90X. The p90X+ main workouts are 40 min. as compared to the p90X workouts of around 60 min. The Total Body and Upper Plus are just killer. They worked me so hard, I thought I was going to hurl! Intervals Plus is like Plyo on speed. The Kenpo Cardio Plus is the weakest of the p90X+ series, too confusing. Kenpo X is better. Abs/Core plus is an excellent 20 min. addition. Very tough; we alternate it with Ab Ripper X.I you have finished p90X and are looking to add to you routine. P90X+ fits the bill.

Pathetic, and Well... Pathetic !!!

Disgusting !! A freaking waste of time... I read the book before watching the movie.. and the book was amazing !! I can't believe they butchered the whole thing by making this movie !!! ******It was NOTHING like the book, and EVEN IF THERE NEVER WAS A BOOK.. THIS MOVIE WOULD STILL BE VERY BAD !!! ****** I can't believe I wasted approximately 1 hour and 38 minutes I will NEVER get back EVER!!! I don't know whether to laugh at the horrible plot, uninspired characters or cry because I made myself endure this piece of trash. I was so disgusted that I wanted all of them to die just to make myself feel better.

Occult and mysticism abound, waiting for faith
|
The story is filled with occultism and mysticism, and that is a subject I avoid whenever possible. if I had known this book was so heavily reliant upon those themes, I would have avoided it as well.I lost interest in the characters long before the half-way point, no real 'redemptive' characters so far, and the story is too dark (and unbelievable) for me complete."In New York City, Sister Creep begins to walk around the remains of a New York ravaged by radioactive thunderstorms and tornadoes. While walking around, she finds a glass ring with jewels encased in the glass. Seeing it, she picks it up, believing it is important. She is surprised to see an undamaged building. Entering, she meets "The Man With The Scarlet Eye". She runs away and the building collapses. Sister is soon met by other survivors. They make their way through the hazardous Holland Tunnel, eventually scrabbling their way to New Jersey." -Wikipedia

Not worth the money and support is worse
|
I would not spend the money for this phone. I work at home so I decided to invest in a really good phone with 2 lines and a speaker. The handset was always hot when I picked it up and put it to my ear. I contacted the company and they did send me another one but it did the same thing. So I decided to live with it because the speaker was good. But with use of less than a year, the sound became lower. No one can hear me on calls and I can't hear anyone else with the volume up. I contacted the company but it had been over a year so no luck getting help since it was now out of warranty. They would fix it if I paid shipping and a repair job but it would be almost the cost of a new phone. I did my own problem determination by swapping the phone with another one and the new one was fine, I also replaced any parts I could like a different hand set that fit, a different phone line cord, etc. So, I have a $200 paperweight. Do not waste your money.

Great Screen Protector of high quality.
|
You get what you pay for. This one doesnt have that fuzz look after you put it on. I think a lot of people generally dont know how to put these on. You have to use a soft wet tissue. I use toilet paper. With one side wet and the other side kind of dry. You will wipe your psp screen till its clean of dust (to your liking of course). After that you measure where you want it position. Then you take off the no.1 label side and just drop it on. It does most of the work by itself. The other way is using the included squeegee and slowing work your way from one end to the other laying the protector on. So easy, and remember key thing you want the after wet effect so it goes on easy.

Super informative
|
What a great book. Awesome info. Very detailed. I took this book to work took it with me anywhere I went I couldn't put it down. There is more information in here than just about climbing. In it is nutirional information, wokout techniques and plans. Couldn't have asked for anything else to be included that wasn't already. Great for beginniners and expeienced climbers alike or anyone who wants to improve their workout or overall fitness level. Buy it. Absorb it. Enjoy it.

Adam is GOD!

People that give the loveline book bad reveiws are dumb liberals, and all liberals are dumb, who can not aknoledge the wisdom of Adam and Drew. Liberals are to politcally correct, they can not handle the truth. I mean the truth about the racesWhen Adam admits how certain races are mentelly inferior, you know its true but you cant have the courage to say so. You know its true but you are afraid to say so. When Adam jokes about the holacost, you know its good but you have to pretend that you care about apeerances. you know that its really a good thing after all (you know who runs the government, and Adam does to.)Thats why Adam is a hero because he says the truth about the races that noone else has the guts to say. Adam you rule and stay on the air even if those liberals and races try to kick you off. Your race politics are to importent and need to be voiced. Superior people like us have to prevale. Italians rock! Adam is Il Duce come back, another Italian hero! Italians rule!

A great addition to your studying material
|
I've purchased this book elsewhere. But this is not the point. I will compare it to Giles. Much better, both construction of the studying material and exam question-answer part. Unlike Giles, NPTE has thorough explained question and answer choices, and an option of pausing the test. NPTE has three exams. Giles though has four exams and visually it is constructed very closely to a real one, little if any question explanation. Bottom part you'll benefit from both. But if you're short of green go with NPTE. Don't know the difference between NPTE 2008 and 2009 editions though. I'd be thankful if you'll provide that info.Thank you,PoleginI just had a look at 2009 edition. All that's been added is a color print, that is it. Test questions are the same.

Great Movie for WWI Buffs
|
This is one of the best WWI movies to be made in a long time. I highly reccommend it. I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact that it isn't edited very good. The orginal version is six hours long and they crammed it into two. There are scenes that are out of place and you can easily tell this by looking at the character's ranks. There is also hardly any transition between Gallipoli and France. Thats what happens when you condense a movie. Both of these are minor and maybe I am being nit picky. I have yet to see the full six hour version. I just recently ordered it. Once I view it I may edit this review.

Yes, but...
|
I bought the DS -30Olympus DS30 Digital Voice Recordermainly for interviews and conversations of up to 4 people for a research study. For this a definite "YES". Easy to operate ,and a straight forward filing system are a pleasure. More important of course is the excellent quality of recording. I have also used it to record a lecture in a large room. Here too the results are impressive.The "BUT" is the editing program. I want to use the excellent and free Audacity software as I did so easily with a cheap Sony DVR I used previously.This is a nightmare. The Olympus software does not allow for this. One has to first export the file to I Tunes, convert it to an MP3 or Wav. format and then re import it to Audacity.Editing is a slow business at the best of times. I am not sure I would I have bought the product had I been aware of this glitch. (In fact I now see it was pointed out in an earlier Amazon review). Here's hoping Audacity can offer a better solution in future updates.

Beware, this book is probably NOT for you, real review
|
If you look at the two other reviews for this book, you'd think it's great. But then look closer, one of the reviewers has only rated 5 books, and they are all about nudism. Each book got 5 out of 5 stars and a great review. So, if you are a person who is into the nudity movement, or a naturalist you will love this book. If you are not, it will fall flat. The other reviewer has only ever rated one book. Hmmm.From the standpoint of a photographer, or someone interested in photography, you will probably be disappointed. The work is very armature. The images tend to be very poorly exposed, lack good contrast and without the best composition. The idea is good, but the execution is lacking. He needs to take a basic photography class. He self published his book. Get a chance to look at it before you buy it, if you like it, good for you, otherwise beware, it's all about nudity and not about photography.

Great for Strong Chewers and Fast Eaters!
|
Our lab is 9 months old and a VERY strong chewer. She destroys her toys within minutes of getting them (aside from nylabones and kong toys). Example: She can eat a nylabone edible in under 2 minutes flat. This ball has held up really well. She also eats VERY fast and so we put all of her food into the ball and let her roll it around the house to help her eat more slowly. I will say, DO NOT LET YOUR DOG PLAY WITH THIS TOY ALONE if you intend to put big treats into it and have them chew them out. Once the toy is empty, they CAN rip the holes open bigger and tear the ball up. We do have one small tear in one side of the ball, but that is because we left her alone with the ball after it was empty. If you want to leave your dog alone with a treat-toy, get a kong. This toy is better for interactive playing and to give the dog while you're around but aren't actively playing with pooch. Overall, I love the toy but you do have to be careful!

Unique Subject - Interesting Times
|
I am very glad to have found Peter Lovesey. This is the second book in his Victorian series starring Sergeant Cribb and the long suffering Constable Thackery. Mr. Lovesey recreates the Victorian atmosphere very accurately. And this is a new form of English cozy crime. Mr. Lovesey seems to want to delve into the Victorian sports era. This particular book is about "knuckle fighting" without the mittens as they call it. There was a huge following of this sport in England at this time despite the fact that even watching was illegal. We get right into the whole area and learn all about the clothes, the gear and the lingo. On top of that it's a cracking good thriller. I certainly intend to read more in this series. I am thourougly enjoying it.

CD Technology 20 Watt Solar Panel
|
I love this product. I had been having problems with my shore power at the marina my boat is kept. It kept frying my battery chargers. I decided to shop around looking for good deals on solar panels. I found this panel and decided with the warranty (5 year limited warranty on workmanship and material, 20-year 80% power output warranty) it was the best deal for this size. The customer service was great. I took it out of the package as soon as it arrived and laid it down in the sun in my back yard. I got 21 volts and 1.4 amps which equals 29.4 watts. It is in a sturdy aluminum frame, not plastic, and looks great. I plan on buying more solar panels from CD Technologies, probably larger than this one. They have sizes from 1 to 175 watts. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to power a solar project.

Mozart Requiem with a hefty dash of CH3COOH
|
Recordings of the Mozart Requiem are legion. If a particular performance is to stand out nowadays, it needs a claim to fame. Such is the case here: Savall's performance is the most vinegary of them all.This is period practice with a vengeance: the strings are completely devoid of lustre. Savall must subscribe to the 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' School of string playing: it's exercrable. Alternatives such as Gardiner, Spering, Harnoncourt, Neumann, Norrington and many others are 'Karajan Soup' by comparison. As a consequence, the woodwind and timpany are to the fore, which makes for a very exciting performance . . . . . on a superficial level.The Masonic Funeral March is one of Mozart's most profound compositions but you would never know it if Savall was your sole reference. It's a steeplechase set to music: "Oh, come with us and gallop, and gallop, and gallop."Don't shortchange yourself by purchasing this CD like I wantonly did. Respect your ears !!!

BLAND & PRETENTIOUS
|
What does contemporary American poetry have in common with pot-bellied pigs? Nothing! This is precisely what we find in this book of poems by Lisa Glatt. There is no tradition in her "voice" and nothing we haven't heard before. There is so much one can take when she is baraged with poems about sleeping with every freak in her neighborhood. What next? The elevator boy? The homeless ex-clown? The zoo keeper? This book indulges in depravity and is not fit for human ears. Not recommended at all!

A movie for sickos only.
|
"An intelligent, thought provoking movie". Unbelievable. Someone actually said that about this movie.Zero stars, actually. What sort of people get their jollies watching this kind of gratuitous violent garbage? Don't know? OK, let me tell you: people who are already deeply disturbed and may be a danger to themselves and those around them. I understand why the film was made: to cater to those on the fringe of society who enjoy watching other people suffer. And, of course, to make money. No, it's not "only a movie". It's a movie for bullies and animal torturers.Anyone who truly enjoys this movie is an automatic psychiatric 911 call. Get help. Before it's too late. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for those around you. The basic question is what have we come to as a society, that some (hopefully, very few) would consider this actual entertainment? A dirt sandwich is better than "Funny Games".

I hate it when I'm disappointed.
|
Today was the first time I tried my new hot lunch bowl. I asked for one for Christmas so I could bring hot soup and leftovers to work for lunch - yum. Well, it didn't come with instructions but I figured I'd put some really hot water in the bowl to heat it up while the soup is warming up in the microwave. I put the hot soup in the thermos, put the thermos - along with the crackers, fruit, etc. in my insulated lunch tote and off to work I went. Well, lunch time came around and I got out my soup, crackers and spoon and couldn't wait to have my nice, hot (I would have settled for warm) soup. Boy, was I disappointed. Ice cold! What a bummer! Even my insullated Thermos lunch tote couldn't keep it warm. Now the problem is, when my grandchildren ask me how I like my hot lunch thermos, am I going to have to lie to them and tell them it's great? I don't want to break their little hearts. I don't give up easily so I am willing to give it another try.... we'll see what happens.
