Is this product review positive? Title: An Excellent Biography from the 18th Century Review: Amanda Foreman wrote that she became obsessed with Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, during the course of her research. Her obsession is understandable; the Duchess was and remains a compelling, dynamic, multi-faceted, tormented woman who was able to ignore convention and engage in "masculine" activities, all in her own style. Ms. Foreman does the Duchess justice by recounting her story in such a captivating manner.The caveat is that you find yourself emotionally invested in the Duchess' life and react to her triumphs and tragedies as if they were your own. If nothing else, you take away not only a deep regard for this woman, but also an understanding of the consequences of the choices we make daily. The Duchess of Devonshire inspires me to step through my own fears and risk failure and success. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I was bored out of my mind.... Review: Normally I love biographies and anything historical. I bought this book after seeing the movie, The Duchess. I was fascinated after seeing the movie and wanted to learn more about this woman. However, the book was wordy and my mind kept drifting. It was like being in school and reading a boring history book. I really did make an effort to get through it, but after the third chapter I put it away. It just didn't hold my attention. I'm giving it two stars for the illustrations. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: the Duchess Review: The item was in excellent condition and arrived quickly. While I was displeased with the book, the Author ,not the seller, the seller was terrific in their service Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: awesome! Review: i loved this book. i read it several years ago and thought it was very informative. i loved the political and fashion commentary - i learned a lot while being entertained. love it! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: PARTY LIKE STUDIO 54 Review: This is the damndest book I've ever read! A truly remarkable biography about a truly remarkable person. Georgianna and her posse make Steve Rubell's posse look like pikers. I mean. Running up $6 million in gambling debts! If she were alive today she would be trailed by the paparazzi. Her life reads like a recent Vanity Fair profile.And how in the world were all the correspondences saved?So good, I bought Tom Jones for another perspective on 18th century English dissipation. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: you might not like her, but you'll root for her Review: I am currently obsessed with Jane Austen, came across a glowing review of "Georgiana: Duchess..." in the New Yorker, and couldn't resist reading this story of Regency England. Unlike Austen's heroines, the Duchess has a very dark side - she's a gambler, adulteress, liar, drug addict...I found myself wanting her to be happy (and to win against the evil Bess) in spite of (or because of?) these qualities. In the end, her charisma, beauty, fashion, gentleness, vulnerability, wit, privilege, and political engagement endear her.I loved the book, the story, the characters, the history, and the politics. Unlike some other reviewers, I found Foreman's writing incredibly engaging and easy to read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Fascinating portrayal of a spirited woman Review: Foreman really draws the reader into the interesting life of Georgiana, one of the most influential women in 18thC society. This is a very well-written portrait and makes for great reading. It contained a bit more about the politics of the time than is of interest to me, but for those interested in such things I imagine all of that was entirely riveting. I was most interested in Georgiana the woman and what motivated her, and here Foreman did not disappoint. An excellent biography and an eye-opening look in to the 18th Century. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Boring Review: I bought this book because I wanted to know about Georgiana and her personal life, about the events in her life and her history.. but what I found here was mostly her associations with Politics. I find that very boring.I am interested in her life, not Politics. I would skip this.. I wish there were other biographies of her. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Fantastic Camera! Review: I've had this camera since 2006. I've used it for all my work. It paid for itself in 2007. I still have this wonderful machine and the colors from it are just remarkable! Yes, it is a 6 megapixel camera, and I have printed images up to 20x30 with no pixelation and no blurring. Customers have asked me how I get the colors so beautiful. I tell them that it is the camera's ccd sensor. It is too bad that they are not continuing their Pro Line of cameras. The Fuji S5 Pro was the last model. But, this camera is still operating and giving me fantastic images. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great movie? No. Great fun? Yes. Review: As far as movie-making goes, there are some serious issues here. As far as campy fun for those of us from South Dakota, there are some serious nostalgia factors in play.Without giving all the locations away, let's just say if you are familiar with the northern Black Hills you will recognize several spots. It's fun to see the Deadwood area way before legalized gambling took over.The story needs a lot of help and the not-so-special effects are horrible, but it had me thinking about what a modern remake would be like. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Did not work Review: My daughter wants to have music on while she sleeps like her big brother, so we ordered this. After the second night, the player stopped working in the middle of the night, and would not turn back on. In the morning it was fine. It worked another night, and then would not turn on again, so we returned it. We are waiting for the replacement now. I believe that it was overheating. I hope that the new one works - 4 year olds don't really understand things like this. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Just doesn't work Review: Bought one to go in my bedroom. The CD player was broken and the radio static bleeds over into the CD playback. Even at this low price it is a waste of money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Surprisingly excellent documentary Review: I expected this to be a offbeat, paranoid, conspiratorial goof....and found it to be a excellent historical record, and contemplation, presented with a timing and pace that reminded me of some of my favorite filmmakers on a more low budget scale. This same theme needs further expansion and I hope the filmmaker continues in this direction. Although it could be more expensive and polished, besides being a documentary with a broad significance and unique subjects, it is done artfully and has a mesmerizing effect. I'd like to see a long series on these subjects from the same filmamker.A+ for Unique, well-organized and well-researched. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Inconherent Review: A melange of mumbo-jumbo that is esentially unwatchable and unbearably boring. Adds little or nothing to our understanding of the Unabomber or the emergence of the internet. In addition, this film does not provide captions or subtitles when English is spoken, and this may be a major deterrent for viewers who rely on them. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice Reference Book. Review: This is not a story, but rather a collection of very short stories on each of the American presidents. Every author is a member of the Society of American Historians, and each chapter is written by a different author. These micro-bios average only 5 pages. The second half of the book is filled with transcripts of important speeches, including Inaugural Addresses, and much is devoted to campaign memorabilia. The book then is more of a handy (albeit limited) reference work, most suited to coffee-table duty. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Hubby loves it, I loved it Review: While you can't expect a book to cover every aspect of a person's life, especially a president, this book really put forth a lot. It's addictive, really holds your interest. My husband keeps it by the bed and reads bits and pieces every night. He just loves learning about the presidents and his view is that this was a great Christmas present. There are lots of pages, nice quality, good cover, lots of information and tid-bits you probably didn't know!If you wanted to give this as a gift, I would say totally go for it! It's impressive in size and the cool cover looks good on the coffee table. Five stars! Now if I could just get more time with it! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Defective Product Review: While the bulk of the book is spectacular (the essays about each of the 43 presidents written in an almost poetic but informative style) the product itself was manufactured improperly. Abraham Lincoln appeared twice, Page 146 skipped backwards to page 114, and several presidents were left out. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This isn't trance anymore Review: Trance...isn't it supposed to take you to this place far far away, leaving a foolish grin on your face?...ahhhh, space and time don't matter.Trance Nation 2 was good. Trance Nation 3 was alright. Trance Nation 2003 isn't trance! its dance.since when was Dj Sammy trance? Lasgo - trance? SCOOTER?? i don't know what you'd call that guy...his songs sound like chipmunk's christmas carols.an old DANCE hit was "rhythm is a dancer" by SNAP!. what is this doing in a so-called trance album??To top things off, the tracks are mainly 3-4 minutes long. now how are you supposed to enjoy a build-up and breakdown in that time period?Horrible cd. really. honestly.no emotions whatsoever.i hope this helped a little Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Track #29 Whoop there it is???? This is not Trance!!! Review: I should have read the reviews before buying this CD set. I figured 2 discs, some fam names, 40 tracks, how bad could this be. Well...its bad. This is more like Trance Nation 2001. Almost all old tracks. Im in NY and even our Radio stations played out these tracks in 2002. This more like pop, fast fwded. One track has a girls vocals about her childhood in chipmunk voice (not kidding). I only liked 2 tracks from scooter and tiesto. I have trance cds from 1997 that put this CD to shame. My 3rd & last dissapointment with MOS so called trance collection. ticked... off in NY for spening [$+]. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I dont own this... Review: I do not own this CD (i am PROUD to say). Just looking at most of the Artists on this CD makes me sick...this is just an excuse by MoS to release a new CD, and make revenue off of the US. By using songs that many people have heard before in their original versions, they are hoping to get more American buyers. This hopefully helpful to you to avoid this CD at all costs. If you like this sorta commercial style...hey, go for it. But just remember...you're ruining the scene for everyone else. Answer:
No

No

Is this product review positive? Title: This is not Trance Review: It is a shame that in the U.S. market "trance" has become the label to slap onto any repetitive electronic music. Sameness does not equal trance. What we have hear is what 90's raver kids are now creating that they are "adults" - moribundly repetitive loops without style or soul. Real trance music moves you and helps you transcend into altered states of being. This is pablum for the new raver masses. Look elsewhere. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Pants Nation 2003 Review: I was very disappointed with this so-called Trance Nation. This does not compare to the previous excellent albums, which had quality feel good tunes and excellent mixes. The 2003 album contains mostly re-hashed songs set to a monotonous tuneless 'bashing-type' beat, that sounds like it's straight from an old casio keyboard. The music was more like a repetitive hammer to the head. Don't bother. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice inexpensive chain Review: I bought this chain for my single speed conversion. I've put around 100 miles on it so far, and it seems to be just fine. It came with a master link, which is a plus for me because it can be a pain to connect a chain using a normal link. Seems strong and well made for the cost. I would definitely buy another.Update:I bought a second chain to compliment the first. I alternate them every 3-4 weeks on the bike, to keep one clean and ready to ride. Between the two I have a little over 4,000 miles on them. The older one has just stretched enough to need replacing. I am very satisfied with it. The only problem is that the second chain didn't come with a master link, so that's done double duty. Otherwise, it's been the perfect chain. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Received wrong item Review: I ordered 6 chains. Was charged $6.69 for a package that weighed only 3 ounces. Did not even bother opening the package, since even one chain weighs more than 3 ounces, so I am guessing that I received 6 of the masterlinks. I could understand the wrong picture being posted with the item description and have seen it before. I order a considerable amount of bike parts mailorder and this is the first time that I have ever seen only the picture used and the item information and description ignored. I returned the item and received a refund of $7.44. Returning the item USPS First Class was just a little less than $4, so combined with the original $6.69 shipping, this fiasco cost me about $3. I guess this was one of those situation where I should have known that it was to good to be true, but either way there are plenty of other online stores that would not pass the cost of their screwup onto the customer.

No

Is this product review positive? Title: dying in 8 months Review: The power supply seemed to be doing a decent job. Last nite the motherboard temperature alarm was going off. I checked the system and the power supply was pretty hot. I looked in the back and the fan was no longer turning. The power supply is putting out power, but not spinning the internal fan. Thanks for taking my $60 cooler master. After reading many power supply reviews, it is becoming more apparent that you have to spend a considerable amount of money to get a reliable/quality power supply. grrrr...... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Lasted 5 Months Review: Seemed like a great buy. It got a little flaky when it came to powering on and now it just won't start anymore. My power supply tester just flickers a few LEDs for a second and goes dark. It's like this thing's charging up capacitors but not actually providing any power.If by "Extreme" they mean "Extremely Unreliable", sure, I'll believe it.I have a lot of my add-ons (hard drives, DVD burner, etc) external on a powerd USB hub. Internally I have a hard drive and an ATI x800GT (AGP) and that's about it. This power supply should not have been under heavy load. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Mostly good Review: This bag is perfect for Chihuahuas, although it might be a bit cramped or heavy for dogs larger than a Chihuahua. The only thing I did not like about it was the fact that there was only one teeny tiny pocket for my own stuff, so I was forced to carry another purse for myself or shove my stuff in with the dog. The tiny pocket would only fit a license and maybe 2 keys. However, it was comfortable, the head cut out was the perfect height, and there was a clip on the inside to attach to the dog's collar. It was cute and simple also. I would definitely recommend this purse, but only if you can get by with only carrying the essentials in your purse. Answer:
Yes

Title: Seems to be well made, but that's about it Review: None of the kittens were interested, mamma kitty could have cared less, and the two 7-8 year olds didn't even turn their heads.

Title: GREAT PLAY AND SLEEP MAT FOR YOUR CATS ENJOYMENT Review: Even before I had the chance to open the bag of cat nip to sprinkle inside the mat, my cat became extremely interested in the package. He just loves it, rubs his body and face on it and enjoys sleeing on it as well. I have many more cats and need to buy some more of these mats so they can all enjoy it. Great deal too when you buy 4 and get one free, compliments of amazon with super fast UPS free shipping too. WHAT A DEAL!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Feline fun! Review: Even when there's no catnip in the mat, my cat enjoys lounging on it and attacking the corners when we play together. It's well-made, durable (stands up to his long claws), and is simply a great idea! The artwork on the mat looks just like what it is -- a party for kitties! Answer:
Yes

Title: After 11 years, Help has arrived Review: It has been a decade since I have had a vacation, gone any distance from my home or gone places with friends feeling free and confident. I have been to four doctors, specialists, been part of a scientific study and still had no control. In three days I saw improvement by following these easy to follow guidelines. I am getting my life back. I have recommended this book to the university doing the study, and my doctors are anxious to see it. It is so easy, and the answer right there all the time. Also, the footnotes back up the science, which is important to me. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Cannot recommend Review: I cannot recommend this book. The author's dietary suggestions are contrary to what you should do for IBS. I tried them anyhow. I was desperate. I got worse. I also gained a lot of weight in a very short period of time, due the the recommendations of all the starchy carbs. Talk to your doctor, find a good anti-inflammatory diet, and get on it. Take medication if you need to. Personally, I have found a strict Paleo diet to be helpful. It works so well that I hardly ever need medication. Every now and then you are bound to slip up, either accidentally or just because you give into a severe craving. When that happens, I need meds to get me back on track. I have tried the supplements that this woman sells on her website and they do not help. When I stick to my diet, I don't need any help. When I need help, there are good meds out there for IBS. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Everything I Ever Needed to Know... Review: ...I learned from my gastroenterologist! As the third in a long line of those who suffered from what my grandmother used to call "the screamin' itch", it's a tremendous relief to finally be able to both name and treat this affliction. Only recently diagnosed, I spent most of my earlier years wondering why nobody else in my class looked like that were trying to smuggle a Rubik's cube. What the heck did I eat last night, a Chinese Throwing Star? It got to the point where I was looking for a milder variety of oatmeal.Unfortunately, the diagnosis does little to help my superiors at the pepper plant understand my (seemingly quite understandable) lack of enthusiasm for my job in Quality Assurance; but once a pepper-taster, always a pepper-taster.Top notch book, beautiful diagrams!

Review: If IBS causes you SEVERE pain and diarrhea, perhaps this book's radical diet (basically: refined starch and pureed vegetables) may work. But if you have the constipation-variant of IBS, your condition is merely an afterthought in the book. Upping the dosage and regularity of Fibercon consumption helped, but the notion that sufferers would avoid all high fiber foods seems absurd. Answer:

We have gone through numerous doctor visits and testing, but only this book has provided us with the much needed guidance and knowledge. My son was 12 years old when diagnosed with IBS. He was tried on different prescription medications, but Heather's suggestion of peppermint oil was not only more effective, but is also a nature based product.Truly what has been the best advice is to start off the day with a soluble fiber and eat these foods as much as possible. My son is now regaining weight and his energy level has increased.I am a nurse and was skeptical at first that I could find the answers from this book and not from his physicians. However,this book and Eating for IBS, also by Heather, have become my bibles. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Lorrie and Sammy at their finest? Review: I've owned this CD since it came out over a year ago and I just decided to start posting reviews on this CD, among others. Lorrie has such a pure distinct voice that it's a shame she is without a doubt one of the most underrated country singers of all time. Sammy also has such a distinct voice and I find the two are able to pull off an amazing duet. So good, that a CD chocked full of duets was no problem for these two. 'He Drinks Tequila' obviously steals the album as far as the 'fun & fast' song goes while 'I Finally Found Someone' holds the 'slow ballad' of sorts top spot. Other lead songs include 3 Seconds, 29 Again, Sad City, Big Time, & Sugar. Overall, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars simply because Sammy's voice seems to be lacking in a few of the solo songs. It's a must have for either Sammy fans or Lorrie fans. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Lorrie Morgan & Sammy Kershaw: "I Finally Found Someone" Review: I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this album. I even bought two of these CD's - one for home & one for the car. I love every track on the CD. I think Lorrie & Sammy sound great together and separately as well. I especially like "29 again", "I Must Be Getting Older" and "I Finally Found Someone". But again, all of the tracks are really good. It is my hope that Lorrie has finally found the someone who is truly right for her and that this time, her upcoming marriage will last forever. I also hope this album spawns many hits for this dynamic duo! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: buy it used not worth the money Review: Sammy and Lorrie both have wonderful voices, however this Cd is not worth the money. I seen Sammy in concert and went right to the store for this CD well little did I know the best song on it is SUGAR. ( Sammy solo)It is clear why you don't hear songs from it played on radio stations. Save your money and wait for Sammy's new release in the spring of 2002. Anyone want to buy mine?? Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: The best for both artists! Review: As someone who has all of the CD's of both Lorri Morgan and Sammy Kershaw, this one is the best for both! and that's saying a lot. Although there is not a disappointing song on the album, one song is worth the price - "That's Where I'll be" - I'm looking forward to many more albums from these two outstanding singers who have now found each other. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing Lorrie Review: I have been a Lorrie fan since her first CD, "LEAVE A LIGHT ON" (still her masterpiece), and her albums have become progressively more uninspired over the years, bringing us up-to-date to this dull duets project. I'm certainly happy that Lorrie has found love (though I seem to recall her saying that many times over the last 10 years or so), I just wish she would find some musical inspiration. Answer:
No

Both my dogs and my cats love the food and have been on it since they were 4 months old. My younger cat was very sick when I brought her home and I was nervous about putting her on a vegei diet until she was well.

I never got to meet him, but I did meet his wife my great grandmother and it said that Mary lee had blonde hair as a child and that she had blue eyes. But she didn't. My dad also read this book and said that the author of this book got her information mixed up so I think the next time she writes a book that she should get her facts straight. I am not mad but I just want to let her know about her mistakes. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Remarkable science fiction...remarkable book Review: The O Hotline is probably Varley's best single work. The Gaea trilogy is amazing in its own right, but it is, essentially, fantasy. The O Hotline is science fiction and it is done very very well.Varley's most recent works (Golden Globe, Steel Beach) have been disappointments to me, particularly compared to this, the trilogy and his short fiction anathologies. I originally spent years looking for a copy of the O Hotline, finding it in a used bookstore. It captivated me. I didn't want it to end and when it did, I thought it clipped off a little too quickly.Having said that, its easily a five star and it is the science fiction novel that all others will be judged against. Simply, is it as good as the O Hotline? If not, then it is a four star. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: No wonder I don't read SF Review: I bought this book because of the synopsis, it sounded like such a good premise for a book. However, the book was nothing like the synopsis. I can deal with having to keep up with several different characters, but several different versions of the SAME character was a little much. I guess hard core SF readers think this book is the holy grail, but to me it was a waste of time and money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Where She Went Review: I was disappointed in the outlay of the story. The ending seemed to be unresolved. It is the only writing I have read by Kate Walbert, perhaps it is just a style that does not work for me. The actual condition of the book was satisfactory and the price was good and shipping was timely. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A very compelling well-written collection of stories Review: The main characters of Walbert's book are colorful, refreshing and very imaginable. A continuous flow of descriptive metaphors keeps the reader yearning for more. I very much enjoyed her carefully woven stories of Marion, intertwined with both humor and sadness- a combination that captures Walbert's sensitive thoughtful style of writing.

Is this product review positive? Title: Chasm . . . Throw This Off A Cliff Review: Ryuichi Sakamoto's credibility is on the precipice with Chasm, a turgid unlistenable work of crud. Check out Coro and Only Love Can Conquer Hate, both sound like factory machinery at work. Dire, dreadful and diabolical. Stop being the artiste Ryuichi and have a go at entertaining. Your fans deserve better! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Apalachin not so novel. Review: The first thing I noticed about this book is its not divided up into seperate chapters. Then it just doesnt flow. This reader had to stop many times and start over to get any meaning out of the writers thoughts. It was like an old aunt trying to write a letter and getting the words jumbled up. The content is good as I was looking for a book on this subject. It just feels like an editor didnt do his job properly. Ron Holladay Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Poor sound quality Review: The tracks on this CD must have been copied from very old vinyl recordings, with no effort expended in order to clean up or remaster the songs. The result is some pretty poor quality recordings. And to make it worse, they pushed the record level on this CD to make up for the poor quality of the originals, and the result is horrible, unpleasant to listen to, and grating at times. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Ninjutsu: The Art of the invisible warrior Review: This book is a wonderfully helpful guide to some very basic Ninjutsu techniques. It covers mostly basic self-defense, however there are some rather dire moves that you would only use if someone were about to try to kill you. Not sounding too basic now, is it? I loved the Taijutsu section and the historical references. I didn't like the weapons section very much; I think they missed something in refusing to put in the Katana swords and Shuko climbing claws. For these (particularly the Katana) I recommend Mr. Hayes' other book, The Mystic Arts of the Ninja. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not that great!! Review: There has to be something better out there. One thing that I didn't like was the explanation of the guy hidding behind the tree, and once spotted rolls to his right to avoid being shot. Oh those questionable ninji skills. I'd light the forest on fire with semi-automic fire. Took some material, and would leave the rest. A lot of the rest. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Can be tricky to install Review: Yes, this car seat can be difficult to install properly, but once you have it down, it is quite secure. We have used this seat while traveling with our [...] daughter, and have been quite happy with it both with respect to safety and convenience. It's definitely a lot easier to use this seat in a car with just a lap belt, but it can be used with a shoulder belt with a little time, patience, and a locking clip. We have been able to get a tight fit of the seat to the car, and our daughter to the seat. I wouldn't use this as an everyday or long distance car seat, but that's just because it isn't as comfortable as, say, a Graco or a Britax - there are no side walls for a child to lean against and sleep/rest. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Doesn't work -- but a good idea Review: I bought two of these for use at my mom's house in another state to prevent me from lugging our regular seats on the plane, etc. Seemed like such a great idea for short-term, occassional use! However, in practice, my daughter (4.5yrs and scrapping the top of the weight allowance) found the straps too tight (with no extra to let out) and the shoulder straps too close together, causing irritation to her neck (and she's rather on the skinny side). My son (2.5yrs and smack in the middle of weight allowance) could wiggle all over the place even when buckled into the center backseat belt - literally lying down on the back seat while buckled!Wish someone would make a similar thing that actually worked! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Absolutely terrible Review: This car seat is absolutely horrible. Too many times my daughter was flat on the seat. To get her in and out of the seat is a hassle. The straps are not made properly. The straps were actually choking her when trying to take her out. DO NOT BUY Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Depends on how you use it. Review: There's just a little too much movement for my comfort. We bought this for traveling and ended up renting one after a day and a half because I just wasn't comfortable with it's safety. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Awful Review: I purchased the Tote n Go Car seat thinking how great it would be for traveling and as any extra car seat when I had to transport other kids. I tried multiple times to install this car seat and each time I could not get it tight enough so that it wouldn't move from side to side. I struggled for long periods of time and finally decided it just didn't deliver the ease and convenience from the desciption. I returned it because I value my children's safety and I just couldn't chance their lives in this seat! Don't waste your time or money on this one! It doesn't even deserve the one star! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not too impressed Review: Good concept, but not that easy to use. I actually left it on the airplane on purpose. It was light and portable, but was difficult to secure in a safe position. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Tote N Go Car Seat Review: I bought this portable car seat for a trip to Cape Cod. I love it. It functions just like a standard car seat. It is lightweight and easy to store in lugguage. The design of it is perfect for people on the go who don't have cars. I even got one of my co workers to get one. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: PIERRE GRANIER-DEFERRE, OPUS 14 Review: ***1/2 1976. Co-written and directed by Pierre Granier-Deferre, A WOMAN AT HER WINDOW is an adaptation of Pierre Drieu La Rochelle'sUne Femme a SA Fenetre. Two nominations for the 1977 César Awards. A love story between a communist runaway (Lanoux) and a member of the high bourgeoisie (Schneider) in 1936 under the martial law in Greece. If at first the movie may annoy or puzzle a little, it delivers nevertheless a certain charm after a while thanks to Romy Schneider's performance and the reconstruction of the artificial world of the "rich".

Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great for the money Review: Overall a good value. They are designed in Europe but produced in China. The eyecups twist out and are very convienient. The dioptor adjustment is on the right eyepiece and is a ring and not easily bumped out of focus like many models that let you turn the entire eyepiece. They offer a surprisingly good picture at this price point. Better than the equivalent Steiner's in my opinion with more user friendly features. They are fairly light due to the polycarbonate body, but still feel subtantial, you get what you pay for with optics but these are an excellent choice, the best I've seen at this price point. $349 at the time of this review. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: We Will See... Review: my old 1977 chev k10 truck was having serious choke problems with the old style divorced choke. it was the thermostatic type on the intake manifold. the crossover passage that runs under the carb is plugged up therefore the spring wouldn't heat up and the choke wouldn't kick down in a timely manner or sometimes it would stick open and not work at all. i saw this version of electric type and thought it was a very good idea. the install is pretty simple. i followed them to the letter. the next day it was about 0 degrees in the morning. i pumped the gas pedal about 2 times and she started right up. no more pumping like crazy to get it going. i noticed about 3-4 minutes later it was fully open and no more choke. perfect! all the other times it would either be still on or it would be stuck open. the price (60.00) seemed a little high but it will save my starter from working so hard and save gas. so far, so good.

Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Highly entertaining preschool video Review: My two and a half year old son loves anything that flies, runs on four wheels,and makes noise. He was hooked on these videos after the first viewing. It is a entertaining video for parents and child. The characters are friendly and there are lessons to be learned. The computer animation is terrific. He loves singing the theme song too. Great choice to buy the set. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Gripping, concise, an invaluable research resource Review: Devereux's account of the events leading up to and beyond the American experience at Wake during the early part of WWII bring invaluable insight for any researcher. This book defined much of the historical accounts recorded in subsequent Wake related literature. An excellent first-hand narrative with both shocking and humerous anecdotes of the battle for the defense of Wake Island. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: True No-Wave!!! Review: Amazing!!! Although it sounds like a new "no-wave" release, this was actually recorded in the late 70's-not bad for an era of flared jeans and disco fever. This record pummels, jerks and roars like a broken robot on the freeway. It's a shame that musicians today are not nearly as daring as this trio. A must for fans of U.S. Maple, Melvins & Boredoms - It's not heavy metal...just HEAVY. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: not realistic nor is it what it claims Review: nothing was said in this book to help you handle the dog in the ring in fact it seemed a book based on inspiring paranoia about fellow handlers and judges and trying to make it as cut throat as possible...having gone to a few myself and met and talked with many of these people who are all friendly with one another i find this book to be useless.this seems to be the words of a handler that was far to competitive to enjoy his hobby. the book is very negative on everything and i wonder if it was meant to help you or run you off. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Invalid Basis for Recommendations Review: The work offers a code of best practices for the in-service inspection (ISI) of structures which function under mechanical stress. Thus, the question arises of how the authors know what is best. What is best in diagnostic instrumentation is what is most reliable.Conventionally, the reliability of a diagnostic instrument is determined by measuring its false negative and false positive error probabilities. However, this mechanism is not available in this case, for ISI violates an axiom of probability theory (see "Erratic Measure," in NDE for the Energy Industry 1995. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York, NY.) Then how do the authors know the reliability?This reviewer gathers that, when ISI was developed, its developers assumed probability theory. With this assumption false, the work's recommendations are invalidated. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Must-Have for Carmichael Fans Review: Here is a fantastic collection for any who appreciate one of the very greatest musician/composers this country has produced. Several of the recording on the disc are rarities. All are at least very good. Some are almost too good to describe in words.Among the best tracks: Dean Martin's "In the Cool,Cool,Cool of the Evening", Johnny Mercer's "Memphis in June" (a true gem of a song), Betty Hutton's energetic "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief", Chet Baker's poetic, introverted "I Get Along Without You Very Well", Nat King Cole's swinging powerhouse "How Little We Know" and Dean Martin's oddly charming duet with Line Renaud, "Two Sleepy People".The disc contains nearly an hour of terrific music, terrifically performed.

Yes

It is very difficult to get help from the professors because they all run off the new calculators. This book was a God-send. Very useful resource, thanks to Mr. Tirone for bringing it to us.-Charlie Answer:

For those who are trying to understand the 12C from the very beginning to the more experienced users who need to "brush up" every now and then, this book has it all. An unexpected bonus was the customer support offered (should I need it). The human element tied in with such an outstanding book (at a more than reasonable cost) is something that I haven't seen for decades. It's really very simple. If you want to be knowledgeable of a financial calculator that virtually hasn't changed in over two decades - and probably won't in your professional lifetime, then this is the book you need. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Author Gives Support With His Books Review: This book is more than worth its price many times over. If you work in real estate, appraisal or are a student of the field, including those who are working on their GRI, CCIM, CFA and appraisal certifications, you will be pleasantly surprised by this easy to read book. However, what pushes Mr Tirones book well over the 'top' is that he supports the book. In this area several in our office have called the author over the past few months with questions. Mr. Tirone was courteous and extremely helpful; his support made the price of this excellent book a steal!I recommend the book for users of the HP-12C, be they students in college or professionals working on various certifications or designations.

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This net only lasted a few months (with light use) Review: I also had this net for only a few months before the material became shredded (with relatively light use and a normal basketball) and white dust particles fell in peoples' eyes. The net is in a spot that gets a lot of sun -- maybe that had something to do with it. I am about to replace it and will get a different net. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Didn't last Review: This net only lasted a few months before becoming weathered enough to tear. When making a shot there would be lots of white dust stuff falling down because the material was coming apart all around. Answer:
No
