Name: Bob Title: Great series, horrible edition I was excited to buy this since DS9 is my favorite series of all time. When I got it, however, it was to find that this was the WORST packaging I've ever seen. I've never been bothered by bad packaging before but this is so bad that it makes the discs difficult to get to and easy to damage. And then the further I got into watching the discs, the fewer of them would play. Most of the discs for seasons 5, 6, and 7 won't play at all - and by the time I found this out, it was too late to return the set. If you truly love this series, DO NOT buy this set - buy the individual seasons instead. The money I put on this was totally wasted. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Nonsense Raunch culture nonsense. Subjectivity and emotionalism in place of logic and fact-based analysis. This is the new face of western feminism. Oh, wait, this has been the face of western feminism for the past 20 years!In some parts of the world, 12 year old girls are being brutalized by fascist theocracies and treated like chattel. But let's ignore that and listen to a bunch of entitled American women whine like pre-schoolers.Blech.Here's a description of the western feminist: a woman who demands that she be paid the same wage as a man, but expects the man to pay for dinner. "Equality when it's convenient for me, chivalry when it's convenient for me."A message to Valenti et. al: It's not going to be so easy to fool us anymore. Gird your loins and get ready for battle. It's going to be a good one. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: For Project Mgrs and Supers ? If you are an excavation or foundation SUB this may be quite helpful, particularly for road building. I found much of the info on ability and capacities of equipment:loaders, cranes, scrapers; concrete and aggregate production, paving, interesting but not info I need as a CM PM to build buildings in cities. If you want to know how to plan the construction of tall buildings, foundation planning, scheduling, staging, etc. don't look to this book. "Construction Mgmt.", which touched lightly on my interest, starts on page 479 of a 550 page book. This book is simply inaccurately titled.

Name: Bob Title: Very repetitive. I bought this book as the companion piece to Blink for my wife. Before she could get to it, I tried reading it. I found the initial story to be awesome (about the auto glass manufacturer), but after that it went downhill. I found Legault to say the same thing over and over but in a different way. I made it through the first 40 pages and couldn't go any farther. However, if you can wade through his ability to say the same thing five different ways, he does say some pretty profound things (don't worry, my wife shared them with me, that's how I know) which is why I gave it a two star rating.

Name: Bob Title: Phooey! I bought this CD for the, supposedly, 12" version of their one and only classic--"Rock the Boat," but for a little over three-minute version of the song, it is most definitely not worth buying at all. I suppose they still didn't have extended play versions at the time, but to advertise something as a 12" version should mean that it should be different from the am/radio short version, and this is way too short to warrant being called a 12' version. Forget this album, you might as well find the song in any of the various artists dance compilations in the same short, short format. Boo!!!!

Name: Bob Title: CRiCHTON SUFFERS FROM "SORRY SEQUEL SYNDROME" Michael Crichton has fallen prey to what I like to call "Sorry Sequel Syndrome." The Lost World is probably one of the worst written and boring novels I have read in my fifteen year life. By now even I know the do's and don'ts of a sequel.This book does not establish characters very well. If you were hoping to expand more on the character of Ian Malcolm in this book, read the first book again because you won't find the character you thought you knew here.The children in the story are pretty much there only to serve the classic adventure story cliche of the "children in peril." All throughout the book, we see traces of the children in the first book in this one.If you are looking for more Jurassic adventure, I advise you to look somewhere other than this book because you will only be dissapointed.

Name: Bob Title: Only GOOD As with all Mario games, this one is very fun to play at first. But unlike the previous entries, this one gets old pretty fast. The gameplay gets repetitive as you basically do the same things over and over. When you're not climbing up some hill, you're going through some pointless obstacle course, scavenger hunting, or fighting some simple boss. Camera problems are all over the place, so you'll have to get used to the manual camera adjustment system. The last 3D Mario seems to be superior in every way. The watergun added in Sunshine was intended to add some variety in gameplay, but the repetitive missions make the whole package much less varied than previous Mario games. It's disappointing for a Mario game, but it's still good as a game. Kids will find it fun, if not challenging in certain points due to the lazy camera.

Name: Bob Title: Impressive debut - boys got big time game I'll put it this way - there's only 3 songs that you _won't_ want to play every time you pop this disc in. 8 excellent tracks (the other 3 are just brutal heavy, which suits me fine sometimes) - melody, Gothenburg flares, structure, double-bass, complexity, dark lyrics telling a full story, can def sing along. No amazon previews, it appears, so there's an ecard at itdiestoday.com, that has tracks 5 & 7... there's six more tracks like those on the disc, if you enjoy.It Dies Today leaps straight over Killswitch, Unearth, Atreyu, Shadows Fall (crushes easily), and The Haunted, into the top tier, if you ask me... #1 on that list, not a doubt. I haven't been this impressed with a thrash debut since Slipknot's first.Mainstream? Sure, why not. This album deserves to sell half a million.

Name: Bob Title: Nice... until it cracked and customer service blew me off I got this cutting board last Xmas. Loved it for 6 months... until it started cracking at the seams. Now there's a millimeter crack in one corner. I emailed Totally Bamboo to ask for a replacement. They told me since I did not purchase it directly from them (my husband bought it through Amazon), they could not help me even though it's clearly their product - I emailed them a photo of the crack and the "Totally Bamboo" logo burned into the side of the board. If Totally Bamboo is going to take food away from panda bears, they should at least produce quality bamboo products. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Don't waste your money I ordered this boombox based on the reviews listed here. It arrived in its original box that was all beat up and had two holes in it and only one side of the box was taped. I knew when I opened the box the CD player would be damaged, but was surprised it wasn't. Then I played a CD and was terribly disappointed in the quality of the sound. It has absolutely no bass. I compared it to another CD player I have and there was no comparison. The speakers just have no bass at all. After listening to the cd player for 5 minutes or so I had to turn it off, because I just couldn't stand the tinny noise. This is the first time I have returned anything to Amazon and the whole process went well. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: The Reluctant Suitor I am just wondering who really wrote this book and A Season Beyond a Kiss. They are written the same, and do not seem to be at all like Mrs. Woodiwiss other romances. I wanted to read the Birmingham novels in order of dates and not how they come out of order and that book was just like trying to read the Reluctant Suitor, too wordy and very boring trying to follow along. But THe Flame and the FLower and The Elusive Flame are written so well and I got caught up in it. I was just disappointed Jeffreys story got killed by writing. I liked the Birminghams, and Jeff sounded so exciting in the first novel, but to much of a dandy in his novel. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Philips HN 110 Folding Noise-Canceling Headphones These headphones are an all around good deal. They are extremely comfortable, but then again I have small ears. I read reviews from people who thought they were rather uncomfortable due to the headphones being too small. The noise-canceling function makes an ever so slight difference that is hardly recognizable unless you have great hearing. The headphones do not produce as much volume as other headphones I have had, but the sound quality is good. Based on the comfort level, price, and the accessories that came with the headphones for the price, I rate them 4 stars. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: the post-grad bible I just bought 4 copies of this book for my brother and his roommates who are graduating in 3 weeks. It's tough to enter the "real world" and recent grads don't always want to take advice from parents or older siblings. (I know I didn't - thought I knew everything!) I read a review for this book in USA Today and then looked through a copy that someone in my office had ordered and thought it would be a great gift.This book has a ton of useful advice and you can tell that it is written by someone who really wants to pass on the information. A family friend gave me a book about life after graduation a few years ago and despite the book's boring approach I did find it to be useful. Rebecca Knight's book blows that one away and I would really suggest buying this for any college student or recent grad that you know. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment?

Name: Bob Title: Atrocious I thought it would be fun to read a book to my 5 year old from a kindergarten perspective. I was wrong...The grammar is literally unreadable it is so poor. My 2 year old speaks more eloquently than Junie, the main character. Not only do I not want my daughter to learn improper English, I would not want her modeling any of Junie's behaviors. Calling her friend's grandmother her "richie nanna", just seems very tacky. It wasn't funny at all and most of her expressions and slang made me cringe. The whole book and style of writing seems very low brow. Don't people want their children to speak and behave thoughtfully? I do not understand the positive reviews for this book or any of the books in the Junie series. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Camping on ice I really enjoyed the book. I liked the way that he described his feelings and the mountains. It is interesting to find out what the mountains are like. I also found it interesting what the towns near Everest are like. Now it makes me think how amazing it would be for a fifteen-year-old kid to try and summit a mountain that high. This book is very good for kids who are around ages 8-11. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: A major PAIN to install I like the idea of this product, but it is just not executed well. I consider myself intermediate/advanced in home computing/networking and I had the hardest time getting this to work. I did have to directly plug it in to my existing wireless router to configure it and it seemed to do the trick. I would skip over the auto detect as it never seemed to work/stick. Hopefully something better will come along... :/UPDATE May 2009 - I still have not gotten it to work consistently - so I would have to say skip it.

Name: Bob Title: I Would've Preferred Special Features As Well, But.... I'm not sure how you can rate the movie as one star w/o the special features, but would've given it 5 stars if it had the features. Do you buy the movie for the movie, or the special features? If it was just special features, but no movie, would you have given it 4 stars?As for complaining about the studio "double-dipping" by releasing a basic set now and a feature-rich set in a few months: DUH! Studios are a BUSINESS. If you just want the movie w/o the special features, buy it now. If you want the special features, wait. If you want to watch the movie now, rent it! I'm happy that the movie is available now. I'm not interested in the extra features. I watched it on Blu-Ray last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.How many different ways have Beatles songs been re-packaged?

Name: Bob Title: Riveting! Riveting, yes. But I don't agree with those viewers and reviewers who express conviction that there was a gross miscarriage of justice; that the three boys found guilty of the murders are in fact innocent. To be sure, they may well be; "Paradise Lost" certainly offers one ample cause to have reasonable doubt. It's important to note, however, that the juries didn't render their verdicts based on the documentary, but on the evidence presented at the trials. While I'm inclined to believe that the boys aren't guilty, that inclination is based on the documentary. It's impossible to know with certainty what verdict I would have rendered had I been a juror at one of the trials. And the same is true of everyone who's expressed a definite judgment(usually in favor of innocence) after viewing the indisputably excellent "Paradise Lost".

Name: Bob Title: This one was a "lemon" I was excited to own the Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer. Several of my friends own this Kitchen Aid Mixer. Also, many of the Food Network cooks use this mixer. I used the mixer a few times the first year after I purchased it.Due to an unfortunate situation, I didn't bake or use my Kitchen Aid Mixer from Feb. 2007 until Feb. 2008. The mixer sat idle. When I tried to use it this year, the motor would only work on high settings and then for only a few seconds. I contacted Kitchen Aid and they reminded me that my warranty is over. I explained the mixer was hardly used. It seems like I really got a bad product. Kitchen Aid states that they stand behind their products. They didn't do well with this one. I wish I hadn't thrown away my very old mixer of 30 plus years, made by another manufacturer. It still worked. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Not the original story!! We decided to get this book thinking what a good lesson it would tell our 5 year old son. We were hoping it was the Aesop fable retelling with more pictures. We were very disappointed to find instead a totally different plot not suitable for a bedtime story since the wolf eats the people! First he eats the adults who scold the boy for lying then he eats the boy! The pictures leave no way to tell this story differently since they show left behind articles from those who were eaten. This book is better suited for an older reader or an adult. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: The funniest movie ever! In this funny funny film, Owen (Danny DeVito) hates his mother, and Larry (Billy Crystal) hates his X-wife who stole his idea for a book. They meet at a writing class and Owen asks Larry why he didn't like his murder story. Larry says "There were only two characters, one of which is dead on page two." One day, Owen goes to see "Strangers on a train," and gets the idea for Larry to kill his mother, and himself to kill the X-wife. He does. Well, almost. Andt hen for the rest of the picture, he wants Larry to kill his mother. The scene when they try to throw momma from the train is so funny! And the other great scenes are ones such as the scene when Owen hits Larry over the head with a frying pan.The DVD should have had more special features. MGM is a lousy company at doing that. I mean, take a classic flick like "Elmer Gantry," and give it only a trailer. The cut scenes deserved to be cut, but if you want to see them, do so.Rent it or buy it!

The author's portrayal of television news was on target. I especially liked the part where John Barrett must cut his most important piece down to fit the time granted to him. It was very exciting as the story came together. I agree with a previous reviewer that I was disappointed with how the story dealt with Tina Lewis. I would have preferred that her alliance had been discovered by some of her superiors. All in all a good book. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Great - just needs a few additions I love the base system, but I wish it cam\e with just a little more for the price. It should have Microsoft home office as a minimum, the Lotus Notes Suite just doesn't provide any value to a heavy PC user. Bottom line - the software is too limited for price of system. I would also purchase system with 60 instead of 40GB of hard drive space, you need at least that these days. I do love all the USB ports and the Monitor is everything I'd want. Great resolution for video play and the sound system is great without having to add periperal speakers.All in all the hardware is awesome the software is lacking.

Name: Bob Title: This is worse then the seat that came with my bike Well.. I recently purchase a womans schwinn hybrid. The seat that came with it, seemed comfy, until you ride 10+ miles. I am 42 and a little overweight now.. but not too. Plus its all in my upper really. I had just started riding a bike again after about 20 years. Needless to say, I love it so I needed to find a seat, so that I can ride it longer then the 8-10 miles b4 the pain is too much. Well I thought I had done a significant amount of research and was settled on the Schwinn pillow top. It was delievered fast. I put my new seat on as I was anxious to ride further this time. I did notice as I took it out of the box, it was "ALOT" shorter then the seat that came with it... a bit wider, but not significantly. Its on, and off I go on my ride.. within 2 miles my rear hurt. I was very disappointed! I would not recommend this seat as a comfy replacement. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Utterly stupid As a philosophy professor for three decades, I have taught this wretched book several times in survey courses in 20th century philosophy. It has gone through numerous printings, and so has seemed to capture the respect of a good number of Anglo-American professors. However, Reichenbach's reading of the history of philosophy is wrong on every count; it is no wonder that Einstein, whose student he once was, ridicules Reichenbach in "Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist." Although I endeavored to keep my view out of lectures, my undergraduates were able to point to Reichenbach's superficiality and his errors at every turn.So, one might ask--what is its attraction? For people who would like to avoid the considerable labor of studying the great thinkers of the past with seriousness, this book gives them an easy excuse not to. The book is a pathetic exercise in uninformed and biased revisionism. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

However, after owning it for a couple of weeks, I found that it was temperamental, and that it would refuse to finalize CD's randomly, claming they were dirty or defective, even though I just taken them out of the box. Sony's customer service is worthless. I learned my lesson and returned the unit, and purchased the more expensive, better made equivalent Denon product. I will never buy a Sony product again.

Name: Bob Title: Great purchase!!! I love my healthy jump digital jump rope. It gives you a great workout. I felt better after my first jump. It really works out my legs and my lower body the most but I also felt it in my abs and arms. A great workout for the entire body. The counter works great so I can progress more and more each time wether I want to do more jumps or burn off more calories. That's where I find the challenge. The only negative I've found with this jump rope is that there's no way to turn it off after you have finished jumping. I've had it a little over 4-weeks and it's been on the whole time. The battery hasn't died......yet. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a change to their workout or a supplement to their current workout.

Name: Bob Title: Casino Royale Review Casino Royale was the first of the bond books. It was strange compared to modern day Bond. It was strangely oddly old fashioned and really never had much action in it. It involved Bond going on an assignment which involved card games. He was trying to bankrupt a Russian Smersh agent. Smersh is a Russian spy killing agency if you didn't know. When Bond was succesful at winning it, one of his assistants, Vesper was captured. I'll let you find the ending for yourself. I would r ate this book as one star. it may be Bond, but it is to boring. It managed to make me get to sleep every night. It could bore anyone to death if they want to read the thrills of Bond. Help!

Name: Bob Title: Sounds awful Should be NO STARS but I am asked to give at least one. The Amazon mp3 downloads are terrible. Bad sound quality and MONO. Someone let me hear the original CD and I can't believe the contrast. Night and day. Find a CD copy. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:
Bob
