Is this product review positive? Title: Reliving the Hollywood Glamour and Intrique of II Wartime Review: This book is a great trip into the nostalgic world of Hollywood and the Movie Stars in the WWII era. This evokes the time when all young want-to-be actresses thought they could go to Hollywood and be discovered and be a star, if only they had a great figure, a tight sweater, shiney blonde hair and money for a coke at Schwab's Drug Store. This is a great summer read and will be particularly applealing to anyone who is interested in how Americans thought and behaved during WWII.Rubin has an uncanny ability to create a great mystery, highlighted with international intrique, an expose of the old Hollywood studio system and wrap it all up into a witty and provocative tale reminiscent of Woody Allen's "Radio Days." Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Could 4-F Blues be the true Hollywood song? Review: Mr. Rubin had me totally immersed into this fast-paced cinematic novel of World War II. I simply could not "put the book down" till reading the words "The End" (Actually a few pages after that...) The rock-solid heroes and double-faced villains, the mad Führer and his cartoonesque lieutenants, Hollywood war-time propaganda movie-makers and abused japanese-americans: all are casted in this production screening in my mind's theater over and over again.4-F Blues: A Novel of WWII Hollywood. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great way to introduce your toddler to nonfiction Review: My daughter, who is almost two, loves this book and asks me to read it to her every night. The repetitious text, the wonderful illustrations, and the tabs on the side that lead to each kind of animal movement fascinate her. This is a great way to introduce your child to the idea that books can contain fun information about our world. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Bbish Review: Everybody has a friend (a relative, a mate!) who lives to fish. This book's for her. Well, there are lots of good fishing books. This one interested me because it looked at fishing as a cross-cultural experience, as one of those things that defines us as being part of the same species. The author and some National Georgraphic-class photographers went around the world and brought back stories and images that made me feel better about being alive and liking to fish. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Young and On Parole Review: I admit, I made the mistake of purchasing this as my first Motorhead album. It's not that it's absolutely terrible but this is not really the true form of Motorhead. Most of the songs are not that outstanding with the exception of Motorhead and the hilarious Vibrator. They were still finding their sound at the time and shortly afterwards went through a drastic lineup change. The album was also released four years after it was recorded. I decided to buy this at a store because the price was six dollars. (You probably would have done the same). But if you want to venture into the world of Motorhead, then look at their later albums like Ace of Spades, Overkill or Orgasmatron. On Parole may give you an impression of Motorhead that just isn't that impressive, when in reality they ended up being one of the fathers of the Thrash metal Scene. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Whole New Way of Looking at the Earth and Its Past Review: Standard geology textbooks teach us that, while individual events may be rapid, geologic change (such as erosion) is very slow overall. Austin deftly dispenses with the straitjacket of uniformitarianism, and shows how the Grand Canyon could have been eroded rapidly. Instead of a little river acting over a lot of time, we had a large body of water (Floodwater and its remnants) acting over a short period of time. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good bye to BonJour Review: Adios,hasta luego,caveat emptor! Looks can be deceiving...if you mix water with powder or whip ("turbo"?ahahahahaahaha) a milkshake (minus the ice cream...Bonjour cannot handle anything with firmness/texture)it suffices;but so does a cup with a lid on top.The 4 "petite" attachments all work the same.Unless you have stock in the Energizer bunny company (you'll need it for the batteries it goes through),I recommend "shaking" a cheap plastic cup with a lid.You'll get better results,exercise and some serious change in your pocket.To be fair: the plastic cup it comes with "looks nice".$20 dollars and change for a cup ..you be "da judge".If you do buy it you will certainly be "duh judge"! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not a good buy Review: I wanted something easy and convenient. Unfortenately this was not the blender for me, it just doesn't work. None of the attachements stay on and made it impossible for me to blend anything. I was very disappointed in this product. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Sub par effort for Will Oldham Review: This album as listed is an instrumental album. Though I'm a huge fan of Will Oldham and own many of his albums and EP's from all of his various projects I can honestly say now that the main draw to his music is his voice. Sure the playing and instrumentation of his music is always acceptable, but without the voice it misses the critical impact that his other works achieve. Imagine what it would sound like if Leonard Cohen had come out with an instrumental album where it's just soft guitar playing without that nice poetic voice. If that sounds acceptable then this album is for you. In my opinion this album will probably only appeal to completists and die hard fans. If you're new to Will's music start with Viva Lost Blues. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Would not buy this product again.. Review: I had this product for a year now. The first few months it was great, then the problems started.Problem 1: I needed a new handle as it broke. I e-mailed Rival customer service to get a replacement piece (in black). They told me that the black handle was in stock and then proceeded to send me a white handle. I sent them several e-mails and never got a response.Problem 2: Unlike the previous review stating that the cooker just shuts off, my cooker just keeps on cooking it never switches to the warm cycle. The whole crock pot was extremely hot, I am now afraid to use it unless I am home, which defeats the whole purpose of using it.I could use any suggestions on which crock pot/slow cooker to purchase next. Any feedback would be helpful. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Truly worthless Review: The other day I came across a video clip on i-tunes and I loved it. Itwas a cover version of Chuck Berry's famous "You never can tell" from 1964.The whole set-up was wonderful and I immediately started searching wherethis clip was from and it appeared to be on a (obscure) DVD from 1985 calledWllie & The Poor Boys. I purchased it from Amazon hoping the rest of the DVDwould be similar to that one song. Wrong!! The rest is horrible not only be-cause of the songs chosen but also of the poor poor quality of the filming.It only holds a few songs and the rest are commentaries on the benefit showto come with a.o. Ringo Starr who does not participate in the music.I won't play it again and decided to just import the the song from i-tunes.Please don't spend your money on this. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: David Suchet is Poirot and Poirot is David Suchet Review: There is something just so lovable about this Belgian detective and his little gray cells. What is incredible about this entire series is the attention to detail on costumes, settings and ensuring that the art-deco feel of parts of England can be recreated. I have always been a great fan of Agatha Christie and, in particular, the character of Hercule Poirot (I have found Miss Marple to be rather annoying). But David Suchet has resulted in a fan following for this character that has little to do with the original character. Each and every little flaw, trait, quirk, is played to great effect. This added to the already-flawless plots of Agatha Christie make this entire series a jewel in the crown. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Movie Collection, Set 2 Review: This collection further exemplifies David Suchet's performance as Christi's Poirot. This series, as well as other Poirot sets, stays true to the books from which these movies were based and is truly well worth watching. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best of Poirot Review: I am an avid Poirot fan - David Suchet is perfection! This DVD is the best of the best, epecially Dumb Witness. If you love the Poirot mysteries as much as I do, then you will have to have this DVD. If you are a novice, this would be a great way to start. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: A decent anime series...but the real gem is the soundtrack Review: Brain Powered is an okay animated series with some strange turns of plot (it seems a matter of course that mecha appear in the series - though it doesn't make too much sense :P). It certianly isn't a Marcoss or Gundam ripoff, but it isn't entirly successful in shaking off the giant robots wars so common in anime.The soundtrack is really good, its been done none other than the famed, Yoko Kanno. Kanno really hits another one out of the park with this one. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very poor product Review: The unit I got and briefly used was a piece of junk. It basically skips every single DVD I played in there. Does the same thing when recording/playback. Other than that, good luck trying to figure out any questions. Not to mention the customer service which is non-existant. I didn't even bother with the warranty and all that. Throw it in the garbage - it's not even worth recycling it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not worth buying Review: Although I didn't use this recorder very often, it failed within a year. I also found that several recordings would work once or twice and then not work. These were recordings of VHS tapes that I wanted to capture on more permanent DVD. Very disappointing! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not Happy with Lite-On DVD recorder seller Review: I bought this Lite-ON 5005x DVD recorder that was second hand through Amazon. The sender or previous owner was helpful, however never discussed how the machine's door refuses to open regularly and during recording has a high pitched whistle that is annoying to say the least. This is the last product I will buy from Amazon that says "Used models from...$". I was robbed out of a hundred bucks buying someone's junk. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Reached for the stars.. landed in the mud... Review: Well I bought this with high hopes it would work. But as I look at it in pieces on the floor I realized it might have been a false hope. Oh.. the reason it is in pieces is that it won't open the drawer anymore. I tried to see if I could get my disk out but the drawer is a sealed unit.The product worked for awhile but even then it sometimes made disks that would not work on other players. I tried a number of disk manufacturers on their accepted list but still it was hit and miss, mostly hit I must say, but it was frustrating.Well I am hoping once again. I just ordered theToshiba D-R400 1080p Up-Converting DVD Recorder... Boy I really want this one to work.... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: No timed recording Review: Unbelievable - no timed recording. You can't set this for a future TV show and walk away. It will only record a show that is on at the time you push the record button - unheard of. I have another Lite-on that won't always make a playable recording for another machine. Sometimes it's compatible and some times it's not. Lite-on makes great DVD transport mechanisms for PC's, but not this one. They need a little help in the ergonomics dept. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Tedious noodling Review: Call it experimental 'post-rock' if you like, but this meandering tunelessness is as incomprehensible as modern jazz. Beats me how or why anyone would listen to this a second time. Sorry, I just don't get it - so if you want my advice, only buy if you know what you're letting yourself in for. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Fun with compartments! Review: I rec'd this as a gift, and while green is not my first choice kitchen/serving color, I know it is for many people. Besides, it reminds me of holidays so I decided I love it. It looks very appealing in an earthy natural kind of way.I used it a lot this summer keeping grilled items warm in the oven while the 2nd batch was still outside, the compartments made it perfect for serving. I serve candies, grilled stuff, sauce and rice, and a myriad of tasty treats and appetizers in it. I plan to get a lot more use out of it this holiday season, and definitely recommend it! Ritz crackers and wheat thins even look fancier when in their own sections of this dish. It is quite versitale.I also think the price is quite reasonable for the solid hand-crafted-looking-ness of this item, and am considering getting more baking dishes from this line (in other colors) for myself and as gifts. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A simple but effective story. Review: Basically, an android figuring out her place in the world, and if she can have emotions. In the end, she becomes quite possessive of her human male friend.Strictly low budget. The special effects are not that great, but then, not many are needed. For the most part, this is an android story that's been told before (think Galaxina, all the way up the new Galactica Cylons). The acting is not that bad, only a couple of sets are even needed (a lot of the film takes place outside on an alien world).The female android is attractive in a simple way, wearing a bland black jumpsuit. Maybe by altering her outfit, the producer could have made the movie a bit more spicy. LOLAnyway, this film might be worth watching once, but that's about it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I hate it Review: The whole crew should be punished for wasting a lot of people's time... ! :)Yeah, that summarizes how I felt after watching this movie. I did not complete it, I simply could not. Actors are amateurs. Story is good though, everything else is simply a big flop.Sorry, If I disappointed you. IMDB's rating seems to have been manipulated by 34 people. I fell for that, but quickly realized my mistake. Answer:
No

No
Is this product review positive? Title: just passing time Review: The movie has the feel of a bunch of friends and their families getting together and makinga movie. No Hollywood or mid range production company values. The script was probably written by committeat a bar-b-que picnic table on a summer day.The script is sparse, but the story isn't too bad. It ends as expected.I do have to say I liked the lead 'actor'. He was baby faced and had an innocent persona that made himeasy prey for misdirection. Just remember the cast took it seriously even if you don't. I would give it a C- because it could have been much much worse. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Class C Movie Review: I normally like to watch B movies... but I could not watch this one for more than 10min. sorry but I really call this a class C movie. I did like the spaceship flying through.. space. It looked pretty cool. The planet names threw me off from the beginning and made it feel like a fantasy sci-fi movie -- which is really not my flavor. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Corrinne hits Home! Review: Excellently done album. Piano-driven, cool tunes, meaningful lyrics and mature, true voice. Corrinne's professionalism (studied music in America) allows her to bring forth elements of rock, pop, jazz and classical music. 'Everything in Its Time', 'Save Me', 'Little Superhero Girl', 'Free' are all well-written songs. 'If I Kissed You' is funny and upbeat, as well as 'The Birthday Song'. 'Angels In Disguise' and 'Let It Go' are all meaningful and inspirational. 'Every Beat of My Heart' and the title track 'Safe In a Crazy World' are a little mundane and less lustrous, but with all the other songs, this proves to be a great album that is worth your money and time. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Meh, think about it.. Review: The time one spends listening and working on all the cassettes is probably never gained back by how fast one might be able to read after going through this program.Howard Stephen Berg is a part savant; at least that's what it seems like to me. Unless you are very, very gifted like Berg, this program will likely sit on your shelf for many years until cassettes become extinct (aren't they already??).Just my two cents. For me, this was a gimmicky, foolish purchase on my part. I never became a speed reader, unfortunately. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent Review: I have fallen in love with Eva Le Gallienne. This book, along with Eva's own autobiographies, offers a very full and detailed view of Eva's life. However, it is so detailed that it will mainly interest those who already have a general interest in Le Gallienne and have a basic knowledge of her life.Sheehy includes many details that Le Gallienne herself never disclosed in her two autobiographies, whether they be of a romantic or traumatic nature. Le Gallienne's autobiographies are much more interesting to read, because her narrative voice is very engaging, but Sheehy is more thorough and offers insights that only a third-party could offer.I would recommend reading this book after reading "At 33" and "With a Quiet Heart," Eva's two autobiographies, though I will admit they are difficult to come by. It is much easier to get through Sheehy's book when you are familiar with Le Gallienne's life story. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: A Must Read !!! Review: This book was awesome!!! Once I picked it up and started reading, I couldn't put it down. The characters were so well written. Each character is someone you know or can identify with. I was particularly impressed with the author's ability to write men so well. The insight she has is scary. The way the story unfolds is masterful, you truly cant wait to see what happens next. The twists, turns and surprises are great too. The people, events and the way they're written were also right on point. One may forget you're reading fiction. Obviously I would highly recommend this read. This author is definitely destined for greatness!! Answer:
Yes

No tag and after removing it from the cheap ziploc bag sandwich bag, i planned to throw it right in the washer, and then noticed that upon taking another look, the seam at the crotch looked like it was torn, probably from previous wear and tear. Disgusting, especially after considering the cost for the item plus s&h. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Not to be forgotten Review: When the name changed from Prince to "Symbol" and to Prince again, you might have questioned this guy's sanity. What cannot be questioned is his talent and ability. This album will never contain your favourite Prince song but it will have you dancing round your room. "Love Machine" and "We can funk" are presented in that true sexy style and the classic "Thieves in the Temple" ? You will be humming the tune for days. Real funk, served on a silver platter with all the garnish you need. GET DOWN !! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Modern Herbal Review: I was tickled to be able to find a hardback copy of this comprehensive collection of information on medicinal, culinary, cosmetic and economic herbs. It describes their properties, how to cultivate and even the folklore of each one and their modern uses. Originally this book was printed in two parts. I'm glad I found a copy with both in one. I have used this book many times for my own herbal preparations. This is not a book for a pleasure read but it is an excellent one for research for homeopathic cures. I feel that the price was worth it for this herbal. I'm glad I have it in my healer's library. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Book! Review: Jon Katz captures the psychological world of the geek and givesa voice to those who the mainstream casts aside as"outcasts." As a forensic psychologist who works with troubled kids, I can attest to the emotional turmoil these kids go through on a daily basis, especially in high school...Mr. Katz makes clear what it is about these "geeks" that causes their peers to dislike them. Unfortunately, in the larger society, like in high school, those who are intelligent and think rationally are least likely to be represented in the mainstream. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Absolutely Infuriating Review: I could go on and on about how much I hate this book. The arrogance, the narrow-mindedness, the self-pity.I'm definitely what people would describe as a "geek" (unless I'm not "counter-culture" enough for you), yet I absolutely hated everyone I read about in this book. Apparently, from what Katz tells us, we are to believe that geeks are super special superhumans who are just too good for ordinary people. Well, guess what - geeks aren't really that unique! Yes, I personally think that they are more interesting and are people I would more likely want to be friends with, but I could hardly go around espousing it as fact. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing! Review: I read "Geeks" and then followed it up with "October Sky" (or "Rocket Boys) by Homer Hickam--the story of "geeks" in West Virginia set in the late 1950's. It is by far the better story. Read it for yourself.I found no heart in "Geeks," no real character development. No "Why!" Katz seems more interested in himself. Perhaps a son he didn't have. He has nothing to say about his daughter who is undergoing similar traumas with college and career plans.The story is about Katz, more than Jesse and Eric. I'm sorry, I wish I knew Jesse and Eric better. I don't! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Inspiring Review: This book serves as a reminder that geeks, although treated as outcasts, are needed by nearly all companies and institutions. Other than one chapter where the author, Jon Katz, seems to ramble on about something that, in my opinion, is off topic, the book is very well-written and easy to read. A must-read for all geeks, especially for those who are in or have recently graduated from high school. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent Read Review: This book was a great read~ I appreciated the insight and time brought forth to this real life journey of two people: which really represents much more in a larger picture.

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Tie a Tie Review: This book was a fun and long book for me to read but it was wearth it. The one thing I like about this book is how much Jesse and Eric use the internet. One thing I like the most about them using the internet is when Jesse uses Alsa Visa to find out how to tie a tie. I'm just learning that now when I'm young so I don't have to search the internet to tie a tie. And when they moved to an apartmet so they could get faster internet accses. I personaly enjoyed this book. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: a wonderful teacher's aid Review: i heard jon katz on npr and was intrigued to read the book. the book was not as deep or weighty as i had hoped, but it does serve an important desire in my life as an elementary school teacher...the desire to communciate with both geeks and jocks about their "culture of cruelty" (thanks for this phrase to eli newberger.) i see geeks day in and day out who are so encouraged that this book has been written and that their teacher has read it and understands them a little better. using this book as a vehicle for discussion with younger kids is invaluable, which more than makes up for any disappointment in the breezy, selfcongratulatory tone of the book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not entirely what it claims to be... Review: Bottomlessly self-congratulatory, Geeks' unfortunate flaw is that it is more about Katz's savior complex than it is the two real-life protagonists it claims to champion. I admire the book's stated intent, and I was excited about the possibility of a book that gave a voice to and empowered the kinds of people I've called friends for most of my life, but in the end (literally and figuratively), Geeks is really just two hundred pages of Katz patting himself on the back. Wait until the part in which Katz almost single-handedly claims credit for healing America's disenfranchised and marginalized youth after the Columbine shootings. I'm absolutely shocked that he didn't try to find a way to work 9/11 in somehow. Avoid at all costs or read only for the truly interesting story of Jesse and Eric and attempt to ignore Katz's self-loving tone. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: It has happened `` Geeks`` have started their comeback! Review: It has happened Geeks have started their comeback!Geeks was an ok book. It is not my favorite book but it has some good parts. I would rate this book two stared, because it didn't catch me at all. There were two main charters Earic and Jessie. As you can tell they both are geeks. I think that they should have made the story back further before Jessie was in the geek club. I think that this book could of used more action in it. It would have been better if there was less swearing but it goes with Jessie's background. I think that this book would be better for teens on up because it is more difficult for some people. Well this is all I have for this book good luck on the book Geeks. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Best taken with a grain of salt... Review: This book is certainly not the most painful that I've ever read, and I can't recommend that others steer clear of it. But it might be better with a disclaimer. Perhaps the following:Warning! Readers should be apprised that not all geeks are criminal misanthropes who can only get ahead with the assistance of modestly talented, self aggrandizing writers. The individuals and environs depicted herein should not be construed as exemplars of all geeks or geekdom. In fact the inclusion of the word "Geeks" in the title is an editorial oversight, since this book is about the struggles of two disenfranchised young men, and sheds very little light on how their being geeks makes them different from the thousands of other intelligent, disenfranchised young men and women who are not geeks. Answer:
No

Work for the local computer shop, don't go to college and you will end up at the University of Chicago (?)Yes, and you might win the lottery too ;-)These guys told Katz a lot of lies about the Internet and various kinds of computer hardware and he just stuck it right in the book.Shame on you kids.

Is this product review positive? Title: As sexy as sausage&sauerkraut Review: This album is hardly an accompaniment to Teutonic tenderness,but it's more Generic Club Music with the occasional German sounds&even; the German language.Ach du lieber!It would be perfect background music for Hot Topic,or the teenagers' clothing sections at malls.The few highlights of this supposedly bootylicious beerhall Berlin soundtrack are the trance-y "Still" by the Quarks,"On my own" by Ulrich Schnauss and "The Things you Said" by Contriva.The rest is pretty awful.There's the hip-hop (with some German expressions tossed in) "Soft Shoe Snoozin'",the generic club songs "Disco Clown" (a disturbing image comes to mind),"Comic Menuetto",Barbara Morgenstern's bizarre "Operator" (Piano Version),and the incredibly obnoxious Jahcuzzi and Rhythm King AHF.Listening to this supposedly "sexy" "German" club music helps one understand why Benedict XVI,the German-born Pope,prefers classical music&would; rather play Mozart.

Is this product review positive? Title: Thin and light Review: I too was disappointed with this book. There's not much substance here, especially if you already know a bit of VB/VBA programming. Half of the book reviews basic VB/COM concepts, syntax and programming practices. I bought this book because I already know VB and I am starting an ArcGIS programming project. I learned more looking at the ESRI provided samples and poking around their excellent support forum and sample code web site... Just by tinkering around with ArcGIS in the time it took for the book to arrive, I built sample applications that are way beyond those presented in Razavi's book.The book doesn't really give you enough information to begin to grasp the ArcObjects data model. If you're going to do any serious ArcObjects programming, you'll need the ESRI reference book "Exploring ArcObjects" ... which is also included in electronic format on the ESRI CD's, but it's so big that the paper version is easier to use. {This refers to the 1st (2002) edition.} Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not good Review: In the introduction of this book it states that "you do not have to be a seasoned programmer to understand this book". Not true. Razavi's treatment of the subject is superficial, and does not cover the fundamental bases well enough to give beginning programmers what they need. If you do not know how to program in VBA before you read this book chances are you won't know how to after reading it. {This refers to the 1st (2002) edition.} Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: How did this make it to print? Review: Other reviewers have done a good job of stating the flaws in this book. I'll also throw my vote in to say that this book is awful, hoping that people read these reviews when deciding whether to purchase the book. My opinion was so negative of this book, that I returned it for refund. The book is full of too many typos, incomplete code samples that won't run, and incomplete logic that it is essentially more confusing than helpful, in my opinion. Definitely not recommended.If you want to learn to program ArcGIS, look for Robert Burke's book instead. It is a real winner. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Great case, especially for Lumix TZ3, but needs one thing! Review: Case is protective and well built, like all Lowe cases. It fits the Panasonic TZ3 like a glove. The only improvement it could have is either waterproof zippers, but even as such, I think it is pretty resistant to weather. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Product fine, pricing problem Review: Product works fine as I have used before. Problem with pricing. Amazon showed and confirmed a price for 3 oz. pkg and I received 1.5 oz. packs.Seller stated that the price was for 1.5 oz. packs and would not do anything about it. Seller agreed to take back but was not worth the hassel to return for $18.00.Lesson learned. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: No Stars for Squirrel Away! Review: This product appears to be nothing more than cayenne pepper powder. I used it in my birdfeeder and the squirrels seemed to love it! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not Enough Stuff Review: This stuff is nothing but cayenne pepper, which you can buy at an Indian Food Store by the pound. You'll need a pound of it to work anyway, not 1.5 ounces. Rain washes it away, see, and the critters might sneeze a little, so you have to put it on thick to really irritate them. This small bag is a joke. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This stuff is a joke.... Review: This stuff is very uncomfortable if it comes into contact with human eyes or lips....but the chipmunks in my backyard aren't phased at all!TRY making your own hot pepper concoction before wasting your money on this stuff.....

No
Is this product review positive? Title: A moving story about discovery and finding meaning Review: What could well become a classic children's picturebook for young readers ages 4 to 8, A Simple Brown Leaf is the collaborative effort of author L. J. Davis and illustrator Lisa Victoria. This is the story of an old autumn leaf caught by a squirrel preparing for winter's onslaught. The leaf's journey reveals that its life has more than one purpose. When it was young and green, it was part of the tree; when it turned brown and fell, the squirrel needed it to survive the bitter cold of winter. A moving story about discovery and finding meaning. "You are meant to do something wonderful! Someone loves you! Someone needs you... just like the squirrel needed the simple brown leaf." Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: I took way too long to receive this product Review: All I'll say is that I like the product but will never order it from 911 again.

Is this product review positive? Title: I cannot LOVE this product enough! Review: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff!! I was a size 7 when I got pregnant. I put on 60 pounds and now a size 11/13. I gained my weight near the end of my pregnancy, not over the entire (gulp) 10 months, so I ballooned out quickly. I have NO stretch marks! I owe it to this fabulous Emu oil. So much less $ than the other creams/oils out there. I will be getting more for my next pregnancy. Also makes a great moisturizer. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I love this product Review: About five years ago, my acupuncturist recommended emu oil as an alternative to steroid creams for her eczema. I found Emu Gold online and ordered a small bottle. Within a few applications, the spots of eczema had cleared up. Shortly thereafter, I ran out of moisturizer and eye cream. With a good quantity of Emu Gold left, I started using it in the mornings as an all over moisturizer (I need just a few drops) and around my eyes at night. Within a few weeks all of the fine lines around my eyes were gone, and my persistent rosacea had all but disappeared. Today is my 43rd birthday, and people regularly comment that I look about 10 years younger than I am.The 4oz bottle lasts me about 3 months, and besides using it as a moisturizer I apply it to minor burns and cuts my husband gets while working in restaurants.I love it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: moisturizer Review: I haven't had any flareups of eczema on my elbows since I started using emu oil on them. I also use it on my face and it leaves it soft without any stickiness. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice, but they are copies. Review: These aren't a bad deck, but they are a set that was printed from a copy. I got 2 decks, when I only asked for one, which I like. But I was hoping for an ACTUAL set of the ORIGINAL cards. One of my friends was issued a deck back in 2003, when he deployed to Iraq, and has since lost the deck. I was hoping to get the original ones, that are still sometimes issued when military members are deployed to the Middle East. So while yes, they are a good copy, I am disappointed that they are just a copy, and not a very sturdy copy. The box the cards came in fell apart when I was pulling them out, and the backside is more pink than true camo. All in all, not too bad for the price. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Please DO NOT read!!! Review: This book is a horrible read if you are looking for a loving and committed relationship with Jesus. It plays to your human emotions and is riddled with errors and lies. There are so many amazing books by the saints for prayer and meditation that I can't believe people would risk their eternal soul by reading this garbage Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: An inspiration for A.I. Review: For those of you who were dissapointed with Speilberg's A.I. This could be a true classic for "realistic science fiction" if this term existed. The film explores the true human feelings that exist in what appears to be an out of this world body. A combination between "Welcome to the Dollhouse and ET". One of Eliseo Subielas first films, it combines magic realism with the always fascinating world from outer space. And even though this film deals with technology it could never be outdated, because it's main focus is with the human heart. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great, memorable film Review: This is a fabulous picture. It is science fiction without space ships or ray guns. And who needs any monsters besides humans? The movie is poetic and thoughtful. This is a must-see film. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Alaskan Tales - Wow !!! Review: I read this book way back when I was in Jr. High. It amazed me then, and to think it about it today. Well it still amazes me. The stories in this book were amazing. Each chapter consists of a different story. If I remember correctly it was a copyright of somewhere in between 1932 - 1939. Overall, it's a great read and I wish the book were out there more. Answer:
Yes

I tried my dry-erase whiteboard pens on it, and wasn't able to completely erase them, even with white board cleaning solution. Disappointing for a $50 globe. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: One of the many great Lamaze stuffed animals for babies. Review: There seems to be quite a few choices for Lamaze animal toys for babies (hippos, giraffes, turtles, etc.). I chose Larry the Lion and he is a big hit with my 3 1/2 month-old daughter. As she's grown, she's discovered new aspects of Larry which keep her fascinated. His bright colors are quite captivating, and his squeaky tummy usually makes her giggle. She also quite enjoys playing with his "crinkly" mane, and now that she's teething, I think she really appreciates chewing on the 2 rings and the purple star that are attached to his paws. Larry is already our "stand-by", fail-safe toy when all other toys fail to pique her interest. A thumbs-up from first-time parents! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Does not work on Epson R800 Review: I purchased the business card stock along with the photo paper at Sam's club and neither of them print on an Epson R800 printer. The printer just ejects the paper without even trying to print on it. At first I thought that it was the printer but when I contacted Epson, they stated that the RoyalBrite paper is not supported on this printer (the printer does not recognize it). This is strange because the box clearly states that it is compatable with all major brands of inkjet and laser printers (last check Epson was a major brand). I am really glad I purchased it somewhere where it is not too difficult to return. If you are thinking about purchasing it online...think twice, especially if you own an Epson R800. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Unique and thoughtful Review: "David v. God" is an excellent YA with a stunningly original plot. The book centers on a debate between a teenager who believes his time on Earth is not yet up, and God, who apparently feels it is. Past the boy's anger and denial, he comes to a different understanding of God and of what life means. Brava, Ms. Pearson, for this unique and entertaining novel! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Scott Hahn does it again!!!! Review: I have recently made the decision to join the Catholic Church. I will be confirmed at Easter Vigil in 2000 and much of the reason is Scott Hahn. I highly recommend anything written or edited by him, especially this particular gem. The beauty of this one is that it has 11 different authors who each tackle a different important element of the church in a comprehensive way all while remaining in unison to the common theme: THE FAMILY OF GOD. It answers all of the important and legitimate questions of the Protestents. I don't know how anyone can read this book and not want to be a Catholic. As Dr. Hahn says in his other book ROME SWEET HOME, "come home, supper is waiting at the table." Well I'm on my way home, come with me if you're not already there. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very Informitive Review: This book answers lots of questions and clarifies many misconceptions people have about the Catholic faith.Each chapter deals with a specific topic, so it is a easy read. Highly Recommended. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Little River Band - Very Best Album Ever Review: I would say "maybe" one of the best albums ever, or perhaps the band decided to call it the best after putting it together from other works. It was great listening to this music and it did bring back some very pleasant memories. I would recommend the album to anyone who heard them back in the day and even for a few new daring listeners who would appreciate the sound. Worth the price and the time, good background music for doing various chores. Buy it, try it, you will want to listen more than once. Answer:
Yes

Yes
