Is this product review positive? Title: Not for Audio Books Review: For music the nomad was great. But do not get it for audio books! It lacks a continue feature forcing you to restart from the beginning of the track. and it lack a fast forward within the track that would have mitigated the obove issue. It sounds great and is easy to use for music. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not for runners Review: The player has sufficient memory, convenient software, and useful features - especially the bass/treble and line-out. However, if you sweat while working out or running, this is not the player for you. It keeps shutting down. Then you have to take out the battery and hold down the button until it reboots; definitely annoying while on a run. The belt clip does not secure it well, and it will fall on the ground if you bounce around. And carry an extra battery, it's a bit power hungry. Customer service was fine and the memory upgrade gives you plenty of songs for 3-4 hours.If they make it water-resistant, include a good AM/FM tuner, supply decent headphones (the supplied earbuds always fall out), and ensure it clips on securely, this would be a great, great unit. It was a gift, so I can't complain too loudly. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good player, doesn't like sweat. Review: Good player, it's taken a couple of drops and keeps on playing. Only one problem though: Try not to sweat when you work out. A flaw in the design allows moisture to follow the earpiece wire into the jack in the top of the player, creating intermittent problems. It works again in a couple of days, but I'm sure there's long term damage. Maybe they'll move the jack to the side or bottom. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Little Product Review: First experience with a MP3 player. Wow, was it ever easy. The only thing I found confusing was remembering to rename the music files before I copied onto the Nomad IIC. When copying different songs from my CD's, some would have the same track number. Nomad IIC doesn't recognize the difference. When I renamed the tracks to the name of the song. NO PROBLEM. But I had to erase and start over. Once I figured that out, the downloading of songs was real easy. Very durable and portable. The headset that comes with it is okay, but I'm using another pair that I had that I like better. I was very satisfied with the quality of sound. It would have gotten 5 stars if the instructions for downloading included renaming files before downloading. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not an Ipod, but a great player! Review: This is my first MP3 player, but I have used others beforeI just got this Mp3 player, and it was player my favorite tunes in just 5 minutes. I have to say, that the software is much easier than I though it would be, based on the reviews, but all you have to do to get songs on your player is to click on the song, and click transfer, and thats not hard at all!Also, the headphones aren't that uncomfterble, if you wear them correctly.The one thing that could improve is the belt clip, but that's not incredibly important to me, but it would have been nice with a better clip.All in all this is a great beggining player, and well worth the money. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: excellent player Review: This is a great player. I originally started with a Rio 800 and after buying and returning two because they were DEFECTIVE, i love this player!! I've had it for 2 days, and after I got a hang of the buttons, it's really great. I suggest that you price shop, i bought this a week ago... anyway, i think so far that this player is a great value for it's money, it's hard to find an upgradeable mp3 player with 128 mb for this great price. The software and the buttons on the player are little a tough, with the rio i didnt even need the manual, but 5 minutes of reading a manual rather than a month of unanswered phone calls from a company is worth it any day in my book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A useful tool Review: It is the ultimate in determining level on irregular surfaces and around corners. Since it uses a hose it is quite a bit heavier to drag around than a smaller diameter tube. Also I wished they made the clear tubes longer for more leeway in case it wasn't fully topped off. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: economic and accurate Review: I used this setup to excavate and set up forms for a series of concrete pads that covered an area of 22x46 feet. What they are selling here is two pieces of clear tubing, caps for the tubing, and a valve on one end to keep the water from escaping. It works. However you do need to keep the level of water on the reference end at the same point. I find renting an auto leveling rotating laser to be much faster when the job requires making multiple measurements, as in establishing a level plane. But the technical simplicity and accuracy of utilizing water levels is unmatched. I think next time I'll try a water level utilizing a reservoir like the one talked about on this link: [..] Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Elegant and Inspiring Review: I stumbled on this book in the university bookstore and was fascinated from the first pages. Mannheimer does a beautiful job illuminating the ideas of philosophers through the stories of older people he has met. I was particularly taken with Uncle Joe, whose musings at a bar mitvah on the sources of laughter were delightful and profound. If you are looking for an entertaining, gentle, and thoughtful read filled with wonderful characters -- this is the book for you. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: There are better choices out there. Review: This book is a terrible resource on designing web pages. I suppose if you wanted your site to look like every other pitiful GeoCities site out there, then you could find a use for this book. However, as far as web designing in general, there are MUCH better options. Mr. Sawyer clearly does not have a good understanding of how to create a well designed web site. (By the way, Mr. Sawyer..."web site" is two words.) The book was a complete waste of my time and money and I would encourage anyone interested in making a web site on GeoCities (or preferably anywhere else) to pick up one of numerous other books on web design. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: some books should be dropped in the trash at once Review: This book is not worth the money you spend on it, there are so many other books on making home pages out there, which is worth much more than you pay....and they includes so much more than this does. Why go for the second best? Answer:
No

I recommend this album to anyone that desires, wants and needs more of the presence of God. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Poor Performer Review: My $5.00 cheap plastic oscillating sprinkler works better than this one. While it is of nice, solid metal construction and has some interesting features, the actual sprinkling area is about half of what is depicted in the promotional materials. I thought maybe that it was just poor water pressure because it was hot and lots of folks were sprinkling at that time, but I switched to my cheap one and that worked great - covered twice the area as this one. And, yes, I did have it on the setting to cover the largest area. I guess you don't always get what you pay for. Answer:
No

This sprinkler was highly recommended to me by a local garden supply store. We put them out the day we seeded our lawn. The first hour was great, but then they both quit oscillating!! We live on a hill and because it stopped oscillating, our seed was washed away. Cost us over $100 to replace the seed. Disappointed!! Answer:
No

Title: LR NELSON 3020 spray oscillating sprinkler with flow control Review: bought one new on 6/6/06Quit oscillating on 6/30/06.Brought it back to store and got a refund and purchased another one on 6/30/06.The one purchased on 6/30/06 quit oscillating on 7/5/06.Don't think I will try another one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice design on the surface, but breaks too easily Review: While this sprinkler, like the models that preceded it, gives very good coverage, it is not durable and must be returned frequently for replacement. Various models seem to have something different break on them, but they *all* seem to stop oscillating (some after as little as a few hours' use!) and the connection from the sprinkler body to a hose is very fragile. It breaks so easily it has to leave you wondering how much more cheaply this part could have been made. However, Nelson has been very good so far about replacing their sprinklers, so other than the fact that it is a pain to keep packing them up, and pay the shipping costs, they have made good on their defective products. Answer:
No

No
Is this product review positive? Title: it's okay to laugh Review: That was and is my question! This book is short and non overwhelming, especially if you are dealing with very recent loss. It helps you to identify your emotions, let you know that you aren't alone and grief does not have a timeline. You did not have control of what has happened to your loved one, but you can get control of you. It helps you to know that you can and should move forward in your life without feeling guilty at the time that you make your adjustments. It's a slow and painful process, but it's okay to laugh. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: if only he'd written more! Review: This book might have been subtitled, "Retranslating Freud," because that's just what the author does with some of Freud's key terms.I was gratified to see that "cathexis" could actually be rendered "charge" or "investment": much more consistent with how Freud uses the term. Freud was certainly a reductionist, but mistranslations of his work make him seem absolutely bloodless.This is one of the best books on Freud I've ever read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I love gord, but... Review: I love lightfoot, and this early music is some of his best, but check out the United Artists Collection, a two cd set with the same songs. it's 8 bucks, this one is 23. Go figure... Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Get "The United Artist Collection" instead. Review: Instead of getting this double album, get the double CD, "The United Artist Collection" by Gordon Lightfoot instead. The reason, it has the first four albums on 2 CDs ("Lightfoot!", "The Way I Feel", "Did She Mention My Name", and "Back Here On Earth"). Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Lightfoot.....wordsmith and musician extraordinaire! Review: I was a Lightfoot fan in the 70's but sort of switched genre's and became a country/western fan for many years. Occasionally, I would listen to a pop/rock radio station, and might hear Lightfoot or James Taylor, or Peter, Paul & Mary, if the D.J. was in a "retrospective" mood! I recently learned that Lightfoot is on tour this summer, and a good friend saw him in Kansas. His report on the concert was very exciting, and I can't wait to go see Lightfoot, myself, in November when he appears in Springfield, Mo. Lightfoot's voice has improved with age, like fine wine. I have recently purchased five of his CDs, this being one of them, and the later ones are far more melodious than his early cuts. His magic with the guitar speaks to my soul, and his clear, captivating voice is a joy to listen to. The words he writes are from the heart. His latest release "A Painter Passing Through" is another good listen. Check it out!!! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: MAH-velous! Review: David Colander's Microeconomics is possibly the best introductory book to Microeconomics. He provides practical examples, as well as allows his own personal quirks and the like to show through, thus avoiding the monotony of traditional textbooks. Also contains color illustrations to help in the understanding (and the illustrations ARE helpful!). Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Lacks depth Review: This book may be an introduction to macroeconomics but it lacks the necessary depth needed to be considered a quality textbook for college students. It does not give the level of detail I have seen in other textbooks for introduction economics courses.In addition, the author appears extremely bias in his description of various alternative views. This text is supposed to be geared for a principles in economics class and although alternative views should be discussed, the author spends too much time on these alternative views. Since the book is very short already, more time and attention should have been given to the basic principles of macroeconomics.Overall, I am very disappointed with the text. Answer:
No

The knob was stuck and no sound or indication that the thing was even working. What a waste of $17.00. I don't even know where to send it back now that he threw away the packaging. Very disappointed. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great features for the price Review: Much more to these than I thought there would be. The range is pretty good, most noticeable part to me was more the clarity, while I may not get the base response I get in some speakers the sharpness of the sound is great in these.I do a lot of re-keying and bpm alternation on music and often times the algorithms you use can cause glitches or pops in the music. Often times this is not noticeable until you use a large system. These are the first small, low cost speakers I have used that have allowed me to notice glitches that I can't even notice in my headphones. This prevents any potential embarrassment when using larger systems.If you don't have the cash to fork out for real pro equipment these are perfect for low cost studio speakers, they even have various inputs including optical. Lastly they are powered so you can just jack them right into your laptop or sound card, no amp needed.. nice.. I have them hooked up to an Audio 4 DJ external sound card on a MacBook Pro. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice...If You Don't Mind Hum and Hiss Review: I had high hopes for these studio reference monitors, but I was sorely disappointed. Even with no inputs connected, nothing connected but power, if the bass knob was anywhere above zero, there was a constant hum; not loud, but there. I couldn't take it. And if that wasn't enough, the tweeters emitted a constant hiss; again, barely noticeable, but noticeable. And again, this is with no inputs connected, so you can't blame the analog inputs. I thought maybe I got a bad set, so I exchange them for another...Same problems. It is nice that these speakers have the inputs that they do, and the dual volume knobs. They do have a nice sound when there should be sound. Unfortunately, they also have a sound when there should not be any.I do highly recommend American Musical Supply. They were very helpful and I never paid any shipping even after buying these speakers, exchanging them, and then returning them for a full refund. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Neither here nor there Review: I was not sure if the main theme of the book was romance or life in Cuba. It is fine to try to have a romance set in Cuba or telling the story of life in Cuba through a love story but in the end, it felt neither here nor there. I have not been to Cuba and so I can't comment on the authencity of the author's description of the country. As for the love story, I was not entirely sure what Richard and Lourdes saw in each other to fall in love. Their so-called love felt a little superficial and unconvincing. Richard always seemed impatient to have sex with Lourdes. He just appeared to me as someone not sure about what he wants and afraid to confront what he wants. In comparison, Lourdes was pretty single-minded about what she wanted. The ending was up to anybody's interpretation, was it a sad story or not? Maybe the tragedy was about Lourdes' hope that love could overcome any obstacles and Richard's skepticism about love and trust, just disillusion and regret in the end. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Just Ok... Review: An interesting peek into modern life in Cuba, but the actual "love story" was weak and hard to get in to. I hardly cared what became of the main characters in the end. I enjoyed the descriptions of Cuba and her people and it appeared to be a good education on life in Cuba today. Answer:
No

Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: OK descriptive and psychological, bad on the political Review: Iyer's descriptions of place are visually satisfying; the psychology of the love story is interesting and convincing tho the writing stumbled into repetition. However he depicts Cuba as a place of hopelessness - for which Castro, not the embargo , is blamed; and where people fear jail for even speaking English - tho Cuba has less people incarcerated per capita than any other nation in the americas. Speaking English was no problem for a friend recently returned from Cuba. I think this book is harmfully misleading. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Bravo Mr. Iyer! Review: I read this book many years ago when Cuba wasn't so much in the news and I must say that I have only the fondest memories of reading this passion packed novel. I felt every emotion whether happy or sad that the protagonists felt. It is a wonderful book that provides an accurate not exaggerated insight of how Cubans really live in Castro's Cuba. If you love the Cuban culture, its music and people, I recommend you read this novel. It will transport you to la Habana in seconds and it may even help you better understand the very sad and depressing Cuban phlight. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Terrible Radar Detector Review: I drove around for an entire month with this radar detector and it never went off. I commute a 4 hour drive most every weekend. I would pass cops over and over and I know that some of them were using their radar. This detector never made a sound with the exception of when I turned it on and off. It did not even sound in front of grocery stores where most every radar detector I've ever owned went off because of the electric doors. I would not recommend buying this product. Defective or not, it's not worth the risk of getting a ticket with this non-functional radar detector..... Spend a little more and get a better quality product. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: great for the price Review: This product is possibly the best one can find for the price. Usually, budget radar detectors ... stink pretty bad. But this one is decent. IT by no means is in the same league as those really expensive $200+ ones, but for me it does the job as one would expect. Answer:

We tried to reset the controller, but nothing appears to work. NOW, we can't figure out how to contact Amazon to see about returning it--and it looks like we can't return it anyway, because in order to use it you have to take it out of the packaging...and the rules say that items cannot be returned unless they're unopened...so we spent $40 for a piece of junk!!

Is this product review positive? Title: An Intense Academic Gem Review: This book is the single text that got me interested in Prussian militarism and General von Moltke who figures largely in this account. If you are interested in this period of history for academic reasons or are writing some kind of paper, I recommend this book wholeheartedly. There is one caveat, however, that I must bring up and that is that this book assumes that the reader has at least a moderate knowledge of Imperial German and military history.I took some time and researched some of the primary sources used in this book and Craig was spot on in his use of them. In a time of increasing specialization (and less competence) in Academia; Gordon Craig shows that it was the great men of history who changed it. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Good Blind when deployed... but... Review: This is a good blind once deployed but I was disappointed to discover that the stake poles do not fold and they are not sharp. They are simple lengths of fiberglass with blunt ends. So if the ground is at all hard you will struggle to get this into the ground. Also if you are backpacking in as we do when turkey hunting the poles are too long to easily fit into your backpack. This is just a so so product. I would not recommend and I think I will return it. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Astounding to say the least Review: Infante has written a masterpiece. This book covers ( and plays on ) the styles of so many popular writers that it boggles the mind. On top of that the TRANSLATED version plays with the english language in a way that would make James Joyce proud,and maybe a wee bit jealous (and in all possibility giving the translator a nervous break down). Easily one of the best books I have ever read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: In A Just World, This Book Would Be In Every Senior English Class' Curriculum. Review: For my money, as underappreciated a novel as I have ever read. Imagine Joyce in Havana in the 1950's, hanging out with the two-bit glamor girls and the big-band underbelly of Cuban society, living an "American Graffiti"esque life with his two best friends, all of them chasing women and drink and privacy and kicks, and kicks, and kicks, and kicks.When people say a book is laugh-out-loud funny, they generally don't mean it, but lovers of wordplay and who have even a vague understanding of mid-20th Century North American popular culture will freak over this book.A punny, dense, eclectic, raunchy, filthy, swinging rhumba of a novel. I can't recommend it highly enough. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Anybody else want to try translating this? Read the Spanish! Review: I am reading Tres Tristes Tigres and Three Trapped Tigers simultaneously. The Spanish version is a literary gem. The English translation makes no sense and is easily the worst translation of anything I have ever read. Leaving aside the language games which of course are very difficult to translate, the translators add unnecessary embellishments to the text and leave out other really interesting stuff. Sometimes the translation is just simply inaccurate. The title page of the book says that Gardner & Levine translated it with the collaboration of the author; it's really hard to believe he had much input. The two texts are not very much alike. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Why that title? Review: Why is it that the title of this book in English is Three TRAPPED Tigers? It should be Three SAD Tigers! Please, there is a long distance in any language between trapped and sad.If that is the title, I would hate to read the rest of the translation. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: clogs Review: When I was growing up in the 80's my father owned a product like this...except it had holes on the side of the pole and not on the bottom. The handled were yellow. I've search every where for it. I could not find it. I found this yard butler device on amazon. I thought...AWESOME! Ordered it right a way. When I received it, I thought "hmmm...that's odd. They put the hole on the bottom." I just used it for the first few trees. This thing is a royal piece of !@#$%. It clogs 100% of the time. One would think the clog would blow out if you pulled it out of the hole and placed it on the ground. Nope. It remained clogged for 30 mins until I got something to push into the hole and clear out the dirt. I sit here in utter amazement that someone mass produced this product and bought it to market. That person own me some money back. Answer:

My dad had one very much like this that he used for more than 30 years, but it had holes on the sides of the spike, and not one hole at the bottom/end like this does. The problem is that as soon as I pushed the irrigator into the ground, it got plugged up with dirt and small pebbles so no water would come out. If the holes were on the sides, this would not be a problem. I know that there are irrigators out there with the holes in the side, and I would recommend that you look for one of those models. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: disappointed Review: The root irrigator did not work right. Every time I pushed into the dirt the irrigator would get clogged. It was not worth the trouble. Very disappointed Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Looking for a Deep Root Irrigator Review: There is only one hole in the bottom and it is very small. I used the product twice and now it is clogged and I can not get it to work again. I would suggest putting holes on the side as well as the very bottom opening. This is the only product I can find for the purpose needed. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Sturdy! Review: This root waterer is very sturdy and works great. We live in S Texas and have been in a drought so I wanted something to get water down to the roots to encourage better growth. We bought an in-line fertilizer feeder with this and use that with a root stimlulator fertilizer. Hopefully between the 2 my young trees will have a better chance of surviving. I would definitely reccomend this product! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Faulty Design Review: The Yard Butler is a poorly made tree watering tool compared to Ross. With the drought and the recall on the Ross tool for its cap that pops off I didn't have much of a choice. The one hole for water at the bottom of the tool is a poor design that clogs easily, even when you put it into the ground as the directions indicate. To make it function much better I drilled holes on the side of the tube to do a quicker and more thorough job. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I liked it. Review: It works pretty well but if you jam it into the ground, little rocks can get stuck in the end. I used it to loosen dirt around a plastic bucket I wanted to remove and dig up. It worked great.The package was delivered in a timely fashion. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Yard Butler Tree Watering Tool Review: I just love this tree watering tool. It can be moved around the tree at the drip line and left for 5 to 20 minutes at a time. I just put it right into the roots of the tree and deep water just the roots. I was trying to do it with a hose turned on real low but still water ran down the lawn and over the neighbors drive. No more wasted water. Purchased through Amazon and I love dealing with them. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This is the best one Review: This is the best one I have seen. I will put a valve on it so I can turn it off while walking through the lard. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: If you can't find one like your dad had, then this is probably the best you'll find in today's market Review: Pros: All metal construction. Sturdy.Cons: Needs holes drilled on the side, and needs an on/off switch on the handle. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Sturdy, but needs holes in the sides Review: More than three decades ago, I remember our family having a root waterer similar to this, but with several holes at the bottom. Good luck finding one like that - this was the closest I could find. So, I modified this one by drilling all the way through about 2" and 4" from the tip and then at a 90 degree angle from that two more holes all the way through at about 3" and 5" from the tip (so, I added 8 holes). I wanted to use this primarily as a yard aerator and secondarily as a tree root waterer for dry years. It is simple and sturdy, and with my additional holes has worked well for my purposes. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Works good Review: I think this is a well made product. I have had the outlet clog up a few times I think because I was trying to make it go deeper too fast. We have clay based soil and it is extremely dry so I have learned just to go slow. I did add an on/off valve. When I would pull it out of the hole, it would shoot mud all over my legs because I was too lazy to turn the water off. Now I can turn the water off at the tool.Mine did not have a gasket where the hose connects so I was getting quite a bit of dripping. I does make a pretty big hole but is much sturdier than my Ross feeder.My guess is this will last for many years. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Drilled the hole larger. Works fine. Review: I like the sturdy construction of this model. I had the problem with rocks getting stuck in the nozzle so I drilled the hole to about 3/16 of an inch and find it ideal now. The tip is an insert and will start to spin during drilling so you have to hold it with a pair of pliers/vise grips. It works fine and I don't worry about it falling apart anytime soon. If I needed another one of these devices I would buy this model again and drill it out to 3/16. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very good! Review: This album is very good indeed. Not only the very catchy tunes of the 20s but the sound quality is excellent! The reason for the great sound quality beside it being a Jazz Oracle CD is that the original recordings were on the Edison records which used a diamond tipped needle thereby giving a better sound quality. The restoration work is sowell done you'd swear it was just recorded. The bands are great and very representative of the late 20s dancing music. The quality of the tunes vary a bit, but I recommend this to anyone who loves the early jazz and dance music of the 20s like I do! I also suggest that you check outRed Nichols On Edison 1924-1927.

Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Sorry I bought this Troy Bilt Weed Eater Review: I have had a Troy Bilt rototiller and been pleased with it, so I thought their weedeater would be a good purchase and I bought on today. What a big disssapointment. The bump trimer head is worthless and unreliable, and it is impossible to remove, and there are no universal heads that will fit it. Initially, the head was assembled incorrectly and would not feed line at all. When I turn the weedeagter sideways to edge my yard, it quits running because the engine can't get gasoline from the gas tank because of the poor design. My recommendation is don't buy a Troy Bilt weedeater. I'm going to take mine back. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Junk Review: Don't waste your money, line spool capacity not good, replacing line difficult. You will get about 10 minutes of work before you have to replace the line. I have use mine for the first time, 20 minutes of use, 30 minutes on line relacement--no need to send it back---I just gave it to my local charity Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't waste your time! Review: This is a piece of Junk. This weed eater will cause you to pay for repairs. I have had 2 of them and my neighbor's second one broke also. Ask a small engine repair man about Troybilt and watch his reaction! The carb on the Troybilt is so temperamental and will gum up, stall or will not work at all, I have spent $60.00 on repairs, this weed eater is only used sparingly and my yard is not that big! I had a Ryobi for years and never had a problem, save your money, buy a Stihl!!!!!! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Won't stay running - been poor from the start Review: Update 5/2011:Gave up on this unit completely and put it on the curb with the trash. Whether the trash man took it or someone else did, I cannot say, but I know that I've since moved on to a model from Hitachi and my life has been sunshine and roses ever since.Original review:I purchased this as a complement to my new home back in 2006. It's been a poor weed trimmer from the very beginning. As another reviewer said, it's very finicky about orientation: when you turn it a certain angle it quits because the engine can't get gas from the gas tank. The sad part is I bought it on the recommendation of a very popular consumer reviews magazine and website. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Junk Review: It worked well initially, but problems started as soon as the first spool of line ran out. Every time I need more line, I had to shut off the trimmer, unscrew the bump head, and manually pull out the line. Now it isn't running at all because the fuel line fell off, then after putting it back on, the fuel ran out of the carb and didn't get to the spark plug. I have been tempted on many occasions to toss this thing into the woods. I'm very disappointed with Troy-Bilt. Answer:
No

Numerous time jhas been spent looking for one specific rendition by certain artists and this contained several. This added some tracks to my collection and will enable me to burn another CD. Many of the 77 CDs created from approximately 600 CDs have been played for others in my dentists office and they dearly love them. Questions have abounded regarding how so many great hits from so long ago could have been compiled. Research is my reply and it has taken 15 years. It is unfortunate that so many records are kept in some archives and not being released. For anyone that enjoys music from the years referred toshould keep looking. Answer:
Yes

It is an excellent product but I will NEVER buy this product online again. Why? The contents of the bottle was only a quarter full. It lasted only one month when it should have been good for at least 3-4 months. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Humdrum comic Review: The setting for this series is a re-telling of the immediate events that led Frank Castle to become the Punisher following the tragic killing of his family. Fans of the Punisher are well-aware of these facts. Re-telling and repeating the same with some changes in facts and trivia is just bad, bad story-telling and not innovative.The Punisher concept works best by being removed from the world of superheros. Garth Ennis understood this. It had a hardcore and edgy film noir style that is hard to beat. Here, when the Punisher interacts with Peter Parker and the Daily Bugle, it removes that intense personal world of violence that the Punisher operates within.Finally, the very crude drawings and colouring really do not help this story along. Besides the awkward anatomy, the pacing and panel arrangements are not well done. The colours are too bright and not suitable for representing the edgy world of the Punisher. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Best of the Best Review: Rosemary Clooney was the best of the band singers. Always on pitch, perfect enunciation, and unequaled voice. In the "Date with the King" segment she joins Benny Goodman to combine the best singer with the best band. Her vocal on "Memories of You" is the only one ever recorded, and after hearing it, you'll understand why. "Goodbye" was always sad to Goodman fans because it meant there would be no more encores, and this rendition is absolutely heartbreaking. In "Bad For Me" Benny joins her in a rare vocal duet. The other sets show Rosie at her best, and there is nothing better than that. I would like to create a rating even higher than 5 stars for this one. Answer:
Yes

Title: Definitely a must-read for computer game musicians Review: Marks provides a facinating peek inside the world of audio content development in the computer game industry. With a casual and friendly style, he covers a broad range of topics in his book, from basic equipment setup to negotiating contracts for freelance work (and much more, of course). Having recently become a freelancer myself, I found his advice both helpful and inspiring.All in all, this book bolsters Marks' credentials as a professional musician and businessman, and comes highly recommended to anyone interested in getting some excellent and no doubt hard-earned advice. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Solid advice for composers wanting to get into the industry Review: This is a great book for those composers and sound designers wanting to break into the gaming industry. I do not understand why many people read this book hoping to find technical audio information, but this is NOT a TECHNICAL AUDIO or ENGINEERING book. This book is in the same vein as Jeff Rona's Reelworld book or Richard Davis's Complete Guide to Filmscoring.Invaluable industry advice and at preparing your audio demo reels, and making connections. Must have for any aspiring game music composer or sound designer. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good general guide on entering the industry Review: I've been working in the field of game audio on the content side for about 5 years. I got this book as I was starting out and I found it a quick, easy read that offered alot of helpful insight and pretty much everything Marks said has held true in my experience. There are people complaining here that this book doesn't offer deep technical information or insight on how to provide content or help with audio programming and that's true. Maybe the title could have been clearer - it's more an idea of what game audio is about and what it's like to work in that field. But if that's what you're looking for, it's a quite worth reading and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know how to break into the industry on the audio side. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Too Many Loose Ends Review: There are too many loose ends in this novel. For example, how did the Duke of Canby lose his limp? Why is his mother controlled by Ambrose? Why does Letitia get away with several murder attempts, not to mention her killing a merlin falcon? Exactly why does Canby hate society so much?The author ends to novel on a very unsatisfying note, in a blatant attempt to coerce people into buying her next novel. I don't appreciate that sort of greedy manipulation of the reader. Answer:
No
