1	Great Curly Hair Tamer	This product works to reign in your curls and allows you to shape them to your liking. I would recommend this product to anyone with curly hair.	positive
1	A great overview	This book provides a great overview of the history of the Knights Templar, both in Europe and America. The comparison of stonework on structures in Orkney with stonework on the Newport Tower is striking and adds illustrated evidence to the case the authors are making. I relied heavily on this book in researching my own novel on the subject.Cabal of The Westford Knight: Templars at the Newport TowerReaders, too, will appreciate the thorough research and quality writing in this book.	positive
0	Don't waste your time	This was not worth the time spent watching - it was a cheesy movie at best and I would not recommend wasting your time.	negative
1	Love our Ragdoll!	Wow, I was surprised to see so many bad reviews for this book. I made the Ragdoll (photo of it is included in user photos above) and was very pleased with the results. I haven't tried any of the other patterns so I can't speak about any issues with the teddy bear or elephant. I had no pattern issues with the Ragdoll, her Wrap Sweater, or Skirt. There isn't a gauge for the pattern, but I found that refreshing. Just look at the number of stitches required for the body, then chose a yarn that has a gauge that will make your doll your desired size. I used fingering yarn but might try DK next time if I want to make a larger doll. I do prefer having schematics, but it's certainly not the only book I have that doesn't include them. I love this doll, and the many outfits you can create and haven't found any other books that provide a knitted doll a whole wardrobe.	positive
0	D-Link Return Problems	Think twice before you buy this or any D-Link products. When this unit failed, it took my materials person 2 hours, 6 phone calls and 8 techs to get an RMA authorization. D-Link pay attention, you will be loosing business for poor performance. D-Link hassled my materials person instead of just issuing her an RMA. She had all of the information for the RMA prior to calling and it still took her 2 hours, 6 phone calls and 8 techs to get an RMA authorization!	negative
1	Widow of Larkspur Inn, The	I really had a good time reading "TheWidow of Larkspur Inn ". It was thoroughly enjoyable, and I will read more books from this author.	positive
0	Not what it might have been	This is not actually a biography of twelve popular songs- beware!Actually, each chapter spends a brief time capturing the history of the song (the interesting part)- the bulk of each chapter, and the book, describes the versions of each song that the author likes and why. This comes across as a discussion in a bar over drinks. No attempt at objectivity is made, and perhaps no attempt was intended.Another problem for me is that he can be very negative about modern popular music. It is so easy and tired to put down music you don't care for, but it detracts from the effort completely. As my mother used to say, if you have nothing good to say then say nothing.	negative
1	Epic Movie... Loved it	Colin Farrell accurately performs as John Smith... and the other actors also shine with their historical representation of these events.	positive
1	Epson 610 lives up to expectations	Went the HP route first. Couldn't get it to work. Tried everyting. Punted! Bought the Espson and fired it up on the 1st try. Have had it for about 3 months now and coupled with an HP p1000 printer, I can duplicate, and I mean duplicate pictures. Scaned a professional 8x10 of my little boy to near perfection. The Twain software is great. Only down side is at times I need to place some thick stock paper behind the picture so I don't scan "through" it. I am now putting photo archives in the computer weekly. Very simple to use and quick. Great to be able to adjust BPI from 300 to 2400 based on what you want.	positive
0	WTF?????????????????????	Glad I RENTED this steaming pile! How can a studio make money on this tripe????????????	negative
0	Mis-Labeled Product	The product pictured is a Life Fitness Model 9500 upright bike, a much older, less expensive bike versus the 9500HR. The words and heading claim this to be a 9500HR bike and it is priced like a 9500HR would be priced. Anyone buying the item pictured (a 9500) as a 9500HR is getting ripped off.	negative
0	Sorry not happy	I have never washed in dishwasher but the color has come off and the cups look so bad. Sorry I wish I hadn't gotten them.	negative
1	Everything I expected.	I trust in Kingston. At this time I have two computers and, of course, the memory sticks are from Kingston. It was an excellent purchase and everything I expected. In a few minutes I installed the stick and without any problems the system was upgraded. I use two Kingston ValueRAM memory - 1024 MB - DDR II ( KVR667D2N5/1G )with a Pentium D 3.4 Ghz at home.	positive
0	waste of moneyt	DO NOT waste your money on this, you don't need it. I tried every which way on my notebook to charge it and nada. I finally got my flip camcorder charger out and it works perfectly. All the gadgets that they are trying to sell you are a waste of money any old charger will work. I'm calling amazon to get my money back on this useless gadget.	negative
0	Junk	I should have looked at the other reviews. This thing did not work from the time I took it out of the box. Don't purchase the product.	negative
0	disappointed	No.1: The product was not what I was expecting from the description. No.2: I gave all my mailing info when I ordered it, both physical and mailing, and still they couldn't get it to me. I get bills all the time--nobody else ever seems to have difficulty finding me. No.3: Every time I spoke to Amazon it was to a different person and had to give the same info again--no continuity and no practicality. I won't be ordering online again. Very disappointed that I wasn't able to get what I wanted.	negative
1	Elegant Notebook at a Reasonable Price	I was using bigger notebooks or portfolios for day to day notes at work. I'm enjoying the moleskine because it is a good size and looks professional. While this is a "large" notebook realize before you purchase it is actually smaller than a standard notebook. It is a bit smaller than a composition notebook. I enjoy writing in it and it holds up to my day to day use.	positive
1	Just what my skin ordered	I really love this serum. It goes on really smooth and my skin just soaks it right up. I have been using it for a month now and I see a big difference in the texture of my skin. It looks and feels more taut and smoother. The price is really good for what you get. I will be getting more of this in the very near future. I am so happy I got this.	positive
1	PHAT!!!!!	My eyes were first opened to RBBWS through a friend. I absolutely fell in love with the band. Robert Bradley's voice is the greatest to come along in a great while. Even if you don't like blues, check them out. They even have their own website. It gives tons of info on the band.	positive
1	waterpik	This worked so well that I bought a second one for my wife who is going thru major dental work.	positive
0	Beware of this product	My daughter loves this game, but after installing the game, I realized that it had also decided to install some software from Gator.com.If you are not aware of what gator is, it is a massive online privacy violation. It will track all of your web travels, giving gator information that you have entered into webforms. This has nothing to do with the game, and is a blatant violation of your and your childs privacy.If I had a way to give this a lower rating I would. My daughter played for about 5 minutes before she ran into a hang that needed the computer rebooted, and we couldn't play anymore. Go somewhere else to find your childs games	negative
1	One of the best books I have ever read!!!	This book was definitly one of the greatest books I have read! If you are looking for a book with a great plot line and mystery, then I reccommend this book to you! The main character shows great bravery. The things that this 15year old boy was really trememndous and for him to overcome so of his fears makes him really courages and in most cases could be a hero to someone who also haves some of the fears that he has!	positive
1	Love this movie!	Movie arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It has been remastered and the colors and quality are so much better than our version on VHS we purchased years ago.	positive
0	Neil Young's worst album of all time!!!!!!!!!	I had the unfortunate experience of hearing this album again last week which reminded me why I traded in this piece of garbage years ago in college. This is hands down "THE WORST NEIL ALBUM EVER"!Electric drum kit? Please. At least it fits the trend of the '80s....his worst album would be released during the worst music decade. Do yourself a favor and save your ears...don't buy or even listen to this album unless you need a laxative.	negative
0	Great feature, lousy software	I am on my third replacement v600 from T-Mobile and have now given up on it. Dropped calls galore. Bluetooth operation is intermittent. It constantly flags every call that I answer as a "missed call." Wallpapers from camera images are stuck at a "zoom 75%" size.Every one of the 3 phones had the dropped calls plus some combination of the other problems. I will say it's ruggedly built, but what good is that if the software is buggy?	negative
0	Does not work as advertised.	I have tried this product (3 of them) and it kills only the adult fleas, does not stop the fleas from returning again and again. very disappointed.	negative
0	A bunch of gobblygook	A terrible book with dubious methods based on dubious assumptions. It is a complete waste of money. I write this to caution readers as there are many books out there on day trading but many are bad, like this one. It is also not well written. If you don't believe me, then please go out and buy this book.	negative
0	Don't Waste Your Money	I am usually pleased with my Amazon.com purchases. I rely heavily on these reviews when deciding to purchase any item. I rarely take the time to review a product, but this one dis-satisfied me so strongly, I felt compelled to do so. I was pleased with the appearance and the ease of installation. I became dissolutioned when I first washed my windows the first time after applying these stickers. The ink comes off, I mean completely off, when washing the windows. I used an ammonia and water mix which is obviously not compatible with this sticker.	negative
1	THIS BAND IS FROM 1989	I'd like to start out by saying Operation Ivy is so amazing and one of my biggest musical influences you have to own this cd whether you do or do not like rancid, BUT this girl that said "I hope they never become mainstream" Has to do her research OP IVY is from 1989 they have broke up theres no way they can get mainstream.	positive
1	Great updated edition	2nd or 3rd time reading this and I love the additional content. Like the critics say, it's so well-researched, erudite, yet comprehensible and excellent narrative style. Facts are easy to follow and absorb b/c of clarity and analysis. Also learned so much. Have tried reading other works to understand today's conflict in Middle East, but just keep coming back to Max Dimont to help understand the history - both course of events and context - in an enjoyable way.	positive
0	Piece of junk	Numerous voltage settings and adapters but that's where it stops. Plugged it into my iRiver H120 and caused all kinds of electronic popping, cracking, & static to be introduced into the line out feed. I've since used other adapters that do not suffer from the same problem. Piece of junk, stay away from.	negative
0	impossible to uninstall this pest	I recently made the big mistake of downloading the Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 program on a 30 day trial basis. The program immediately slowed my computer and interfered with downloads to the extent that quicktime players,for example, would not install properly. Like M.Morris of Israel I tried to remove the program via the the control panel and couldn't. It is also impossible to turn the program off. As I have a new computor I will reformat the hard drive and nuke this pest program out of existence. Be warned.	negative
1	FaaaaassssssssssssssssT	Excelent processor. I bought it more than a year ago and my computer still works perfect and fast.Compatible with Windows Seven Ultimate Virtualization (Windows Seven - Windows XP Mode).It's easy and safe buying from Amazon.com (almost the best prices on market).	positive
1	shoes dance	excellent product excellent, very good shoes I love and attention was immediate, as received in good condition 100% recommended you purchase another opportunity lo maximo shoes ufff	positive
0	Errors in book	I have only glanced at a friends copy, but that was all it took to discover that either A) the book is worthless, or B) the book is badly written. I am a gardener and seed saver so I have to know which species my veggies are so I won't get accidental crosses. The writer advises one type to eat turnips, but not chinese cabbage(or vice-versa). They are the same plant species, just different strains. Believe me, they cross, I have grown seed of crosses between the two, can I eat them or not? He advises type O to avoid cabbage, brussels sprouts and one other cabbage type plant, but says to eat kale, broccoli and collards. Again the same plant species. He advises one type to avoid solanacea, listing some as okay and others as not. All this done without any explanation. Do some solanacea species contain less solanine? I think the author better learn something about plants.	negative
1	Great deal	Order came sooner then stated. Chairs are very good and the wife is pleased. Will keep you guys in mind the next time we're in the market.	positive
1	"Perfect"	The earpieces are uncomfortable, with and without wires. The speakerphone on most cells vibrate alot. The first time I tried this out, (admittedly, I have only had it for 10 hours), my wife said the sound quality from the microphone was "perfect." Additionally, the sound quality from the speaker was next to ideal.The few previous problems others mentioned have not occurred: no problems with audio/driving mode (i.e. "call the office"); no problems with the LG 8000+ model; no echo whatsoever.If I don't have a follow-up review, consider this product near-perfect.	positive
0	leather repair kit	product is okay, but these things really don't work that well. I think once leather tears, you are just out of luck.	negative
0	Not a very sticky mat!	I bought this kit thinking it was a good deal, but that turned out to not be the case. The mat after just a few weeks of use is no longer sticky and it came with a few nicks in it. I fixed the nicks with tape and I thought oh that's not so bad, but then I slid down the mat doing downward dog and hurt my shoulder, ouch! I would say buy everything separate and save yourself the pain. The blocks and the strap are good just not the mat. My old mat I had for 10 years before it finally lost it's stickiness. It cost me $20. What a deal.	negative
0	The worst wireless card ever	I spent 3-4 hours trying to make this card work but it never went beyond 1 Mbps even when I was sitting 1 foot away from the wireless access point. Very disappointing.I have a Thinkpad that runs Win XP Home. I plugged this card in and installed the driver utility from the CD. Everything looked fine and the card seemed to be connecting to the access point but my speed never went over 1 Mbps. I use WEP security in my home network.After 3-4 frustrating hours I had to go back to my 5 year old Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card. With the Lucent card I was up and running in 10 seconds.My advice, spend a few extra dollars and buy Netgear, Linksys or any of the other well-known brands.	negative
0	Boring love-story; wished for more on art history	Like many, I bought this book thinking it would be something like the Da Vinci Code. Never having heard of the Hypnerotomachia, I was intrigued (and have even purchased a copy of the Hypnero). Unfortunately, the book is mis-hyped as an art history/intellectural thriller, when in fact it is a boring love-story: something one would read in a creative writing seminar. The major redeeming value of the book simply is the introduction of the mystery surrounding the Hypnerotomachia to the masses, in much the same way the Da Vinci Code introduced alternative Christian history to a wide readership. But other than that, I found myself speed-reading through the love, the fights, the murders in a vain attempt to try to find the good stuff.	negative
0	Cheap, cheap. A big disappointment!	This game is made for small children, yet it is plastic and needs to be assembled and disembled in order to fit back into the box. It was difficult to put together without breaking any of the plastic tabs and very difficult to take apart without breaking them. It is not a game that a child could take out and play without first having an adult help them. And they definitely could not put it away. An impatient adult would likely break it the first time they tried to put it together or take it apart. The marbles are cheap plastic instead of glass and the whole thing is just cheap.I used to have one of these for my children and they loved it. But it was all one complete piece and came in a box that could hold it. It was of a much studier plastic and the marbles were glass. They used to have great fun with it and I was looking forward to my grandchildren doing the same with this. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!	negative
1	If I could only listen to one CD for the rest of my life....	I would have to seriously consider this one. I have spent four months attempting to track down the best overall performance of Apollo, and have come to the conclusion that this is it. The performance is spirited and the sound is immaculate. The only complaint that one could have is that the final cadence to the First Act is in half-time compared to other performances, and as all of the other recordings I have heard follow this guideline, I can only assume that Mr. Salonen doctored the score. However, this is a small price to pay for the privelege of hearing the finest piece of music a mortal can hope for. I once thought that all of music was a grand lie perpetrated on the masses by sick artists concerned solely with their own glorification: this piece reached out to me as I lay dying in the gutter of modern consumer culture and bid me to love music again. The surest cure for modernity and a call to a greater human destiny...	positive
0	Does not capture the mood or characters of "Eddie's Bastard"	I was disappointed with this sequel. It covers Billy's quest to find his mother. The plot was very contrived and just didn't ring true to me for some reason.Billy ends up in Santa Fe to look for the mother who abandoned him. He meets Consuelo, a singer and they fall in love. Billy locates his mother, but the woman he has created in his mind, can she meet his expectations?? I thought the love story was a bit simple, as was the ending.Kowalski would have had to do a smash up job with a sequel to top "Eddie's Bastard". He did not succeed, but I will likely read more of his work in the future, since sequels are usually a letdown in most cases. I didn't hate the book, or the plot, but it left me empty, therefore I give this book 2/5 stars.	negative
0	Be Warned	I have made some very good things with this book but others are just flat out awful. The worst example was a recipie that actually called for 2 Tablespoons of cayenne pepper and as a result was absolutely inedible! (Note I have the first edition so hopefully these mistakes have been corrected for this printing).	negative
0	Poor Condition	It was in very poor condition! Very used! rating did not indicate that--I would not have purchased had I known. This was a gift!	negative
0	A great disappointmnent	We bought this antenna for our new HDTV but were very disappointed for its poor performance. The reception was poor despite hours of tunning and optimal location. Some supplied brackets did not have holes drilled correctly making them useless. We had to find out substitutes from hardware stores. The workmanship was clearly inferior. On top of that, customer and tech support were very unhelpful and unprofessional.Overall, we cannnot recommend this product.	negative
0	UMMMM	NOT A BAD CD BUT NOT THE BEST. HER VOCALS DON'T COMPARE TO THE ORIGINAL SINGER JANET'S VOICE. THE LINE UP WITH ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER IS AS SAD AS TRACII GUNS LA GUNS	negative
1	AWESOME GAME	This game is awesome. If you like Simcity3000, or any games like that, you will love this game. It has so many options and every person has there own opinions on things. You can see what kind of job every person has, where they live how much they make per month, how happy they are, you can view there family tree, and check there age. They will grow old an eventually die. Your island needs soldiers for numerous reasons, so build up your military. There can be Coup de etats, where your army can turn on you. Your army will split up into two groups, the ones who like you, adn the ones who hate you. They will than fight. If your people dislike you enough they will turn to rebels, and when the rebellion is strong enough they will attaack your army. This is one of the best games out there, and it has unlimited options, even the cows have opinions on things! So if you liked the SimCities or games like those, definately buy this game.	positive
1	A Great Read!	Beth Gutcheon's latest book is wonderfully insightful and delightful to read. Her descriptions of Hannah's childhood, of Claris's first romance are full of detail that rings true to my own experience. Her description of a small town on the Maine coast also rings true - as if you could visit Dundee this summer and be right at home there. The story is fast-moving, a real page-turner. I had to put it down deliberately so that it wouldn't be over too soon. I have read all of Ms. Gutcheon's books and enjoyed every one, but this one may be my favorite.	positive
1	Good workout	I bought this tape because I never had the opportunity to take ballet as a child and I wanted a tape that would teach me the basics while providing a well-balanced workout. And this was just the thing! Even though the moves are basic, they are tough. I was sweating as much as in a step class. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.	positive
1	Play that Funky music???	Is play that funky music on the cd??? I really want the cd , but im not sure if this song is on it. Best song eva! Please help!! Luv me	positive
0	"Disappointed"	Purchased it for 2 day delivery because I needed it on Monday the 25th.Set it up,and it would only broadcast about 2 ft. Re-checked everything,supply voltage,settings,etc. No dice.Then because I was up against a deadline,I made the dumb move of makingthe range mods suggested online.(thus voiding my warranty)Range improved to a very spotty 5 ft.Searched the web everyone suggested the same mods but claimed much betterresults.Oh well live and learn!!!	negative
1	Better than people give it credit for.	I thought that this movie was a lot better than people have been saying. My friends and I are huge horror movie fans and went in looking for a good movie and that's exactly what we got. I thought that it had pretty good casting, great atmosphere, and I for one liked the ending a lot.	positive
0	change of address issues	When using the one touch feature on Amazon....I didn't realize that my old address was listed as shipping address. I immediately contacted them to correct this and was informed that no change would be accepted.....that it goes against Amazon policy. Since the product was sent via regular post without tracking, I was'nt able to have it forwarded. I was told that once the package is returned to sender...I will then receive a refund.......All this time wasted and still no product and waiting for a refund! I'll wait to see if I actually receive my refund.....Extremely DISSAPOINTED	negative
1	Survival	This is a story of suvival. Survival of the mind, body and soul. You can take this trip with Jack and see everything he sees and feel everything he feels as the narration is so well done. I can hardly wait for the next book.	positive
0	Writing a LIfe: Teaching Memoir to Sharpen Insight, Shape Meaning--and Triumph Over Tests	This book was not what I expected. It deals with writing in schools and has very little use for the writing and group I facilitate.	negative
1	Interestingly dark D&B.	Once you get over the weird layout of tracks, 1 out of 2 tracks are intros, this album will blow you away. Panacea produces the darkest D&B beats while keeping miraculous melodic consistency.This album is intended to be played loud. Perfect driving music.	positive
1	366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains	A very good, detailed book using these items. Perfect for when using emergency supplies. Lots of color pictures and easy recipes.	positive
1	Awesome!	This is my favorite product by Bakery on Main! I love it. It was the first Gluten-Free Granola I tried and it did not disappoint!	positive
0	IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE SHADOWS!!	Its a pity that you cant give albums no stars because this is a contender for one of the WORST pieces of tripe ive ever had the misfortune to hear.Apparently,and i find this hard to believe,KURT COBAIN was a huge fan of this bunch.Well we all know what happened to him dont we?There is NOT ONE half decent song amongst the whole awful mess.All the songs(?) are sung in that godawful TOYAH WILCOX affected 80's style.Remember it?Yes it is that bad!As STEVE COOGAN would put it ''THAT WAS TRULY DIABOLICAL''Believe me it is!	negative
0	Headers	Picture of Hedman 88400 headers shows long-tube headers - they are actually 'shorty' headers. Picture(s) should represent actual product!! I had to send my order back and reorder.	negative
0	Smells Funny	I bought this on 8/4/06. When I first got the coffee maker, I ran plain water through the machine to get the plastic smell out. Afterwards, the machine still smelled like plastic, now I've ran vinegar through the machine and still no help. The horrible plastic smell is still there. Baking soda is no use also. The only thing I've not used is bleach. If you don't mind the plastic smell then this is a good small machine that works well with most coffee cups. Makes really hot cups of coffee and none of the leaking problems.	negative
0	Could be better	In theory this is a great product, however the only part of the mirror that magnifiyes and moves is the small center part. The stand is somewhat limited and you have to have it on the right stand to be able to use the mirror. It's sad to me that they can't make the product as they advertise the product to be.Jerdon Classic JGL9W Lighted Tri-fold Mirror, 5x Magnification	negative
0	Junk	Bought for nieces and nephews as stocking stuffer. Not a single one worked out of six. Unable to move any air through or item was damaged in package.	negative
0	Dreck	It takes a lot to screw up Tennessee Williams, but John Huston did it royally. Whatever was the man thinking? This movie is so bad that for a while there in the middle I thought perhaps I had it all wrong, perhaps it was supposed to be a comedy.Ava Gardner's acting is even worse than her phony Southern accent. Deborah Kerr is well, Deborah Kerr. Has she ever played anyone else. Richard Burton turns in a complete triumph of overacting. He chews the scenery from beginning to end.And don't even get me started about Sue Lyon and those ridiculous beach boys. As for the women on the bus.....caricatures of the worst kind.Pah!	negative
1	New product met all expectations	This product came quickly in new condition. I ordered it based on something from AARP, but don't know yet wherther it provides the health benefits for which I purchased it.	positive
1	ms v saitek	The Microsoft stick is good if you are right handed. The only problem is that the controls are fairly "loose" thus you tend to over control until you learn to be very gentle. Small movements bring large control changes. the Saitek Cyborg 3D is stiffer so easier to control. If you are left handed it is the Cyborg hands down. I did not have any random imput problems with the Cyborg J13 as were reported above.	positive
1	Golden Sounds - Not Bronze	An enchanting collection of traditional carols beautifully adapted for a carillon of 35 bells. Having seen Cast in Bronze live, this CD (with volume up) captures the same effect.	positive
1	A Hillerman Fan	I have been a fan of Tony Hillerman's novels for a number of years and have several in my library. Some how I missed "The Wailing Wind". I was very pleased to find it in Kindle Books. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read.	positive
0	Maybe I had a Lemon . . .	Note: I am commenting on a clock which I DID NOT purchase from Amazon.The clock does everything advertised, but its most useful unique feature is the projection of the time, alternating with the outside temperature, on the ceiling or wall.If you sleep on your back, you'll LOVE the idea of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the time on the ceiling above you.I returned this unit, though, because I had way too much trouble getting the outside sensor to communicate with the main unit-- and I never had it outside of the same room. I followed the manual, which instructs you to put batteries in the sensor FIRST, then in the main unit, but it never displayed the temperature from the sensor.The instructions are not so easy to understand, and if you haven't had one of these projection clocks before, it may take a lot of reading and re-reading.	negative
1	Thinking man's (or woman's) key to faith.	My heart longed for something more than the superficial life I was leading. There was a God shaped hole, begging to be filled. Then I read Dr. Patrick's book about the inner spiritual life. All my objections to the Jewish religion I learned growing up were answered. My misconceptions of the Christian faith were erased. Two years later, I am on a path that is joyous and peaceful. This book was the key to the great gate at the beginning of my spiritual path.	positive
1	Initial Impressions Almost Killed It	I bought this game because frankly I was looking for a MMORPG but I didn't know where to look. I was in CompUSA at the time and I asked the guy for his reccomendation. He said Ultima Online which I looked at and it said no XP support, so I looked on. Next, random people that were passing said that Dark Age of Camelot was one of the best so I picked it up.At first I thought the game was basically the same as what I saw from my limited time at Everquest. That being a convulted interface and extrememely large learning curve. So I uninstalled the game. However, one of my friends wanted to see it and I reinstalled it and picked a different character on a co-op server and was blown away. Once you get past the inital problems and issues with the interface the game seems to open up.Now, I'm only level 4 but from what I've seen I'll probably stick with this game. At least until World of Warcraft from Blizzard comes out.	positive
0	not worth the trouble	I purchased the phone at an amazingly low price with all of the rebates ([...])! It's definitely different from any other phone I've owned in the past. The swivel screan was my favorite feature however, in the first week of using the phone, the screan broke right off. I took it to T-Mobile and they replaced it. Another week later, the keyboard cracked. Then, the screan cracked. I always carried the phone in the leather case in my pocket or purse. I've never had a phone that fragile before. I was at T-Mobile about 3 times a week with problem after problem, from equipment malfunctions to service issues. After two-months of nothing but trouble, I paid the [...] cancellation fee (the amount I saved in rebates) and threw the phone out. It just wasn't worth the trouble.	negative
1	The funniest movie about the 60s ever	. . . and it comes from France! Set around a funeral, a family gathered - perhaps for the very last time - in grief, and in the midst of a near-revolution, The May Fools manages to cover the entire history of the 60s through hope, euphoria, and paranoia, back to a cynical, sad reality. Still one of the funniest movies ever made.I am fortunate to have an old video tape of it. I am writing this in the hope that someday it will be released on DVD for American audiences.	positive
1	History in a Contemporary Voice	We all have learned or heard phrases from many of the speeches contained in this book. It was a pleasure to read them in their entirety and find that the emotion of the time came through - even in print - even after decades had passed. They certainly offer a more interesting, inspirational view of history than a dry academic text. The only downside - my English husband was disappointed that one of Churchill's best, "We will fight them on the beaches", was not included.	positive
1	Unknown Schumann	The C minor piano quartet of 1829 is a delightful work. Though part is lost and part is incomplete it has been convincingly restored in this recording. It is well played and should be heard by anyone interested in Schumann's chamber music.	positive

1	kudos to tania raymond	this story made me cry so much and its strange cuz the story was not that sad but i think the actress tania raymonde was so incredable and i loved her character. although at first she was kindoff prissy and snobbish but then you realize how sweet and smart and funny he was and the two boys were nice too but i love her the most and i hope to meet her one day and i'll tell her that the movie and her character made think about things and such and i am a very different person now. thats the movie that touched me the most in my life. go see it!	positive
1	Definitely worth the wait!	I know it's a pain to have to wait so long between Simpson releases, but if they were cranking out feature-only versions every month it wouldn't be worth it at all. I appreciate all the thought and work they put into the releases. The commentaries are all very interesting, as are the extras relating to the particular seasons. P.S. those who say the show has been "slipping" of late are liars--and not true Simpsons fans at all. The show has gotten wilder at times but hey, welcome to the 21st century! I think they've tapped into new levels of creativity. It's called evolving with the times. I hope they last for 10 more seasons...at least!	positive

0	Not flamenco	Having to record this pot-boiler must have felt to Paco and Ramón like Leonardo would have felt had he been forced to paint by numbers.But how you feel about it will depend very much on what sort of music you're looking for.If you want an album of impeccably played Latin (and other) standards, backed by gooey strings, then this will suit you perfectly.If, on the other hand, you're misled by the names of two of the best guitarists of their generation into thinking that this has something to do with Flamenco, then you're in the wrong place.Note the glazed expressions in the photograph, and how Paco can't resist sneaking a bit of alegrías into the introduction of "Save the Last Dance for Me", just to relieve the boredom.	negative
0	BAD MUSIC!!!!	This music is worse than Kenny G. and Michael Bolton put together. I'm surprised this is actually considered music. This is an embarassment to Postal Services across the world.

When I hear this music playing it makes me want to throw up in my mouth.	negative
0	I've seen better	I have purchased several books on freezer cooking and I found this one does not have enough recipes for the average family. It's a good book if you are just looking for new ideas but I wouldn't recommend it if you are just begining the freezer cooking adventure.	negative
1	leapPad	my husband bought this leapPad for our daughter and she loves it!!! She already knows how to function it even before we can can show her.

I would recommend this toy/pre-school computer laptop to all children that are just learning how to read and count.	positive
1	Phyllis' two best albums remastered and reissued on this special 2-CD set.	This is some of the finest and best romantic music ever made. The late Phyllis Hyman was one of the greatest songstresses of the v20th century and the two albums reissued on this package were her greatest works. "Walk Away", "Living All Alone", "First Time Together", "I Found Love", "Living In Confusion", "Old Friend" and "You Just Don't Know" are timeless ballads which were tailor-made for Phyllis' emotive, wistful and melancholic singing style. She left us much too soon but her music stands the test of time.	positive
1	This book helped me immeasurably	This book was given to me by my therapist. I read this book over twenty years ago in the throes of the complete disintegration of my relationship with my extremely difficult and emotionally disturbed mother. It made me feel as if I was not alone - and helped me to realize that I needed to cut my mother out of my life. This was not, as anyone can imagine, an easy decision for me. I have since given the book to many people who struggle with that pivotal relationship in their lives. A very valuable book that I continue to recommend and keep on my bookshelf.	positive

Next time I am going to a store!	negative
0	Slow and unspectacular	based in 1999, this one tells the story of an LAPD officer, working at the Rampart division, who is crossing the line and venturing to the other side of the law. This recalls the LAPD Rampart scandal of the era, when officers were framing suspects, and planting drugs and weapons on them. The movie goes between the story of the officer's problems on the job, and the relationship difficulties with his daughters and two exes. The problem I had with the movie was that it focused a little too much on the family situation and not enough on the policing scandal. The film would have been more compelling had it been more focused on the officer being involved in overstepping his authority and getting involved in possible criminal activity. A bit slow and unspectacular, this one was a disappointment.	negative
1	Zombie lovers manual	While this book is stated as a humorous guide to zombie survival I actually found it to not to contain any humor in the slightest which perhaps is the best aspect of this book. It takes itself so seriously that one can not help buy chuckle at the absurdity of it all while at the same time wondering if, just perhaps... Zombies are real.Simply put this is for anyone that has ever enjoyed the old zombie movies of yester-year this book is simply amazing in its details of zombies and straight forward look at what a real zombie outbreak might be like. From compelling scientific analysis of zombies to accounts of real attacks, this book covers all the bases for a perfect cover to cover read.A must read for anyone remotely interested in the horror genre and especially in classic zombie flicks.	positive
1	Different Dawn	This movie is very good, being a huge fan of the original Dawn of the Dead, I'm glad it took a different approach instead of a "remake". Although the plot is differnent, I am glad that they kept the "mall" tide in. It was also nice to see cameos from 2 of the original cast (Roger and Peter, and see "fly girl's" shop and Tom Savini). It was also nice to see a "baby zombie", I do wish it had a little more to it. Overall this was a very good movie, didn't drag on and there was gore (not a lot).	positive
0	What exactly is the point?	What's the point of this pad? The whole fun in DDR is moving your body - there's absolutely no fun involved in just using your fingers.

When it is in, it does not fit tight, it is very loose and wobbly.....i would spend the $20 on the real thingPoorly represented product of what you get, cable says Zune on it but either it is knockoff or one that Zune got rid of for cheap cause it wasnt made right.Dont buy, will not buy from this place again.	negative
0	Worst book I ever read!	I read this book long ago, but I always remember it as the worst book I ever read. Somehow it kept me wanting to read what happened next, so I finished it, but after I finished it I felt it had been an infernal waste of time. I swore after that I would never read another book by Harold Robbins and I never have. This book is the quintessential piece of literary trash.	negative

This book provides a great overview of the history of the Knights Templar, both in Europe and America. The comparison of stonework on structures in Orkney with stonework on the Newport Tower is striking and adds illustrated evidence to the case the authors are making.

Love our Ragdoll!

Wow, I was surprised to see so many bad reviews for this book. I made the Ragdoll (photo of it is included in user photos above) and was very pleased with the results. I haven't tried any of the other patterns so I can't speak about any issues with the teddy bear or elephant. I had no pattern issues with the Ragdoll, her Wrap Sweater, or Skirt. There isn't a gauge for the pattern, but I found that refreshing. Just look at the number of stitches required for the body, then chose a yarn that has a gauge that will make your doll your desired size. I used fingering yarn but might try DK next time if I want to make a larger doll. I do prefer having schematics, but it's certainly not the only book I have that doesn't include them. I love this doll, and the many outfits you can create and haven't found any other books that provide a knitted doll a whole wardrobe.

D-Link Return Problems

Think twice before you buy this or any D-Link products. When this unit failed, it took my materials person 2 hours, 6 phone calls and 8 techs to get an RMA authorization. D-Link pay attention, you will be loosing business for poor performance. D-Link hassled my materials person instead of just issuing her an RMA. She had all of the information for the RMA prior to calling and it still took her 2 hours, 6 phone calls and 8 techs to get an RMA authorization!

Not what it might have been

This is not actually a biography of twelve popular songs- beware!Actually, each chapter spends a brief time capturing the history of the song (the interesting part)- the bulk of each chapter, and the book, describes the versions of each song that the author likes and why. This comes across as a discussion in a bar over drinks. No attempt at objectivity is made, and perhaps no attempt was intended.Another problem for me is that he can be very negative about modern popular music. It is so easy and tired to put down music you don't care for, but it detracts from the effort completely. As my mother used to say, if you have nothing good to say then say nothing.

Epson 610 lives up to expectations

Went the HP route first. Couldn't get it to work. Tried everyting. Punted! Bought the Espson and fired it up on the 1st try. Have had it for about 3 months now and coupled with an HP p1000 printer, I can duplicate, and I mean duplicate pictures. Scaned a professional 8x10 of my little boy to near perfection. The Twain software is great. Only down side is at times I need to place some thick stock paper behind the picture so I don't scan "through" it. I am now putting photo archives in the computer weekly. Very simple to use and quick. Great to be able to adjust BPI from 300 to 2400 based on what you want.

Elegant Notebook at a Reasonable Price

I was using bigger notebooks or portfolios for day to day notes at work. I'm enjoying the moleskine because it is a good size and looks professional.

I enjoy writing in it and it holds up to my day to day use.

Beware of this product

My daughter loves this game, but after installing the game, I realized that it had also decided to install some software from Gator.com.If you are not aware of what gator is, it is a massive online privacy violation. It will track all of your web travels, giving gator information that you have entered into webforms. This has nothing to do with the game, and is a blatant violation of your and your childs privacy.If I had a way to give this a lower rating I would. My daughter played for about 5 minutes before she ran into a hang that needed the computer rebooted, and we couldn't play anymore. Go somewhere else to find your childs games

This is hands down "THE WORST NEIL ALBUM EVER"!Electric drum kit? Please. At least it fits the trend of the '80s....his worst album would be released during the worst music decade. Do yourself a favor and save your ears...don't buy or even listen to this album unless you need a laxative.

Great feature, lousy software

I am on my third replacement v600 from T-Mobile and have now given up on it. Dropped calls galore. Bluetooth operation is intermittent. It constantly flags every call that I answer as a "missed call." Wallpapers from camera images are stuck at a "zoom 75%" size.Every one of the 3 phones had the dropped calls plus some combination of the other problems. I will say it's ruggedly built, but what good is that if the software is buggy?

Don't Waste Your Money

I am usually pleased with my Amazon.com purchases. I rely heavily on these reviews when deciding to purchase any item. I rarely take the time to review a product, but this one dis-satisfied me so strongly, I felt compelled to do so. I was pleased with the appearance and the ease of installation. I became dissolutioned when I first washed my windows the first time after applying these stickers. The ink comes off, I mean completely off, when washing the windows. I used an ammonia and water mix which is obviously not compatible with this sticker.

Have tried reading other works to understand today's conflict in Middle East, but just keep coming back to Max Dimont to help understand the history - both course of events and context - in an enjoyable way.

I recently made the big mistake of downloading the Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 program on a 30 day trial basis.

Errors in book

I have only glanced at a friends copy, but that was all it took to discover that either A) the book is worthless, or B) the book is badly written. I am a gardener and seed saver so I have to know which species my veggies are so I won't get accidental crosses. The writer advises one type to eat turnips, but not chinese cabbage(or vice-versa). They are the same plant species, just different strains. Believe me, they cross, I have grown seed of crosses between the two, can I eat them or not? He advises type O to avoid cabbage, brussels sprouts and one other cabbage type plant, but says to eat kale, broccoli and collards. Again the same plant species. He advises one type to avoid solanacea, listing some as okay and others as not. All this done without any explanation. Do some solanacea species contain less solanine? I think the author better learn something about plants.

I would say buy everything separate and save yourself the pain. The blocks and the strap are good just not the mat. My old mat I had for 10 years before it finally lost it's stickiness.

The worst wireless card ever

I spent 3-4 hours trying to make this card work but it never went beyond 1 Mbps even when I was sitting 1 foot away from the wireless access point. Very disappointing.I have a Thinkpad that runs Win XP Home. I plugged this card in and installed the driver utility from the CD. Everything looked fine and the card seemed to be connecting to the access point but my speed never went over 1 Mbps. I use WEP security in my home network.After 3-4 frustrating hours I had to go back to my 5 year old Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card. With the Lucent card I was up and running in 10 seconds.My advice, spend a few extra dollars and buy Netgear, Linksys or any of the other well-known brands.

Boring love-story; wished for more on art history

Like many, I bought this book thinking it would be something like the Da Vinci Code. Never having heard of the Hypnerotomachia, I was intrigued (and have even purchased a copy of the Hypnero). Unfortunately, the book is mis-hyped as an art history/intellectural thriller, when in fact it is a boring love-story: something one would read in a creative writing seminar. The major redeeming value of the book simply is the introduction of the mystery surrounding the Hypnerotomachia to the masses, in much the same way the Da Vinci Code introduced alternative Christian history to a wide readership. But other than that, I found myself speed-reading through the love, the fights, the murders in a vain attempt to try to find the good stuff.

Cheap, cheap. A big disappointment!

This game is made for small children, yet it is plastic and needs to be assembled and disembled in order to fit back into the box. It was difficult to put together without breaking any of the plastic tabs and very difficult to take apart without breaking them. It is not a game that a child could take out and play without first having an adult help them. And they definitely could not put it away. An impatient adult would likely break it the first time they tried to put it together or take it apart. The marbles are cheap plastic instead of glass and the whole thing is just cheap.I used to have one of these for my children and they loved it. But it was all one complete piece and came in a box that could hold it. It was of a much studier plastic and the marbles were glass. They used to have great fun with it and I was looking forward to my grandchildren doing the same with this. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!

If I could only listen to one CD for the rest of my life....

I would have to seriously consider this one. I have spent four months attempting to track down the best overall performance of Apollo, and have come to the conclusion that this is it. The performance is spirited and the sound is immaculate. The only complaint that one could have is that the final cadence to the First Act is in half-time compared to other performances, and as all of the other recordings I have heard follow this guideline, I can only assume that Mr. Salonen doctored the score. However, this is a small price to pay for the privelege of hearing the finest piece of music a mortal can hope for. I once thought that all of music was a grand lie perpetrated on the masses by sick artists concerned solely with their own glorification: this piece reached out to me as I lay dying in the gutter of modern consumer culture and bid me to love music again. The surest cure for modernity and a call to a greater human destiny...

Does not capture the mood or characters of "Eddie's Bastard"

I was disappointed with this sequel. It covers Billy's quest to find his mother. The plot was very contrived and just didn't ring true to me for some reason.Billy ends up in Santa Fe to look for the mother who abandoned him. He meets Consuelo, a singer and they fall in love. Billy locates his mother, but the woman he has created in his mind, can she meet his expectations?? I thought the love story was a bit simple, as was the ending.Kowalski would have had to do a smash up job with a sequel to top "Eddie's Bastard". He did not succeed, but I will likely read more of his work in the future, since sequels are usually a letdown in most cases. I didn't hate the book, or the plot, but it left me empty, therefore I give this book 2/5 stars.

AWESOME GAME

This game is awesome. If you like Simcity3000, or any games like that, you will love this game. It has so many options and every person has there own opinions on things. You can see what kind of job every person has, where they live how much they make per month, how happy they are, you can view there family tree, and check there age. They will grow old an eventually die. Your island needs soldiers for numerous reasons, so build up your military. There can be Coup de etats, where your army can turn on you. Your army will split up into two groups, the ones who like you, adn the ones who hate you. They will than fight. If your people dislike you enough they will turn to rebels, and when the rebellion is strong enough they will attaack your army. This is one of the best games out there, and it has unlimited options, even the cows have opinions on things! So if you liked the SimCities or games like those, definately buy this game.

A Great Read!

Beth Gutcheon's latest book is wonderfully insightful and delightful to read. Her descriptions of Hannah's childhood, of Claris's first romance are full of detail that rings true to my own experience. Her description of a small town on the Maine coast also rings true - as if you could visit Dundee this summer and be right at home there. The story is fast-moving, a real page-turner. I had to put it down deliberately so that it wouldn't be over too soon. I have read all of Ms. Gutcheon's books and enjoyed every one, but this one may be my favorite.

Good workout

I bought this tape because I never had the opportunity to take ballet as a child and I wanted a tape that would teach me the basics while providing a well-balanced workout. And this was just the thing! Even though the moves are basic, they are tough. I was sweating as much as in a step class. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

"Disappointed"

Purchased it for 2 day delivery because I needed it on Monday the 25th.Set it up,and it would only broadcast about 2 ft. Re-checked everything,supply voltage,settings,etc. No dice.Then because I was up against a deadline,I made the dumb move of makingthe range mods suggested online.(thus voiding my warranty)Range improved to a very spotty 5 ft.Searched the web everyone suggested the same mods but claimed much betterresults.Oh well live and learn!!!

Better than people give it credit for.

I thought that this movie was a lot better than people have been saying. My friends and I are huge horror movie fans and went in looking for a good movie and that's exactly what we got. I thought that it had pretty good casting, great atmosphere, and I for one liked the ending a lot.

change of address issues

When using the one touch feature on Amazon....I didn't realize that my old address was listed as shipping address. I immediately contacted them to correct this and was informed that no change would be accepted.....that it goes against Amazon policy. Since the product was sent via regular post without tracking, I was'nt able to have it forwarded. I was told that once the package is returned to sender...I will then receive a refund.......All this time wasted and still no product and waiting for a refund! I'll wait to see if I actually receive my refund.....Extremely DISSAPOINTED

Smells Funny

I bought this on 8/4/06. When I first got the coffee maker, I ran plain water through the machine to get the plastic smell out. Afterwards, the machine still smelled like plastic, now I've ran vinegar through the machine and still no help. The horrible plastic smell is still there. Baking soda is no use also. The only thing I've not used is bleach. If you don't mind the plastic smell then this is a good small machine that works well with most coffee cups. Makes really hot cups of coffee and none of the leaking problems.

Could be better

In theory this is a great product, however the only part of the mirror that magnifiyes and moves is the small center part. The stand is somewhat limited and you have to have it on the right stand to be able to use the mirror.

Dreck

It takes a lot to screw up Tennessee Williams, but John Huston did it royally. Whatever was the man thinking? This movie is so bad that for a while there in the middle I thought perhaps I had it all wrong, perhaps it was supposed to be a comedy.Ava Gardner's acting is even worse than her phony Southern accent. Deborah Kerr is well, Deborah Kerr. Has she ever played anyone else. Richard Burton turns in a complete triumph of overacting. He chews the scenery from beginning to end.And don't even get me started about Sue Lyon and those ridiculous beach boys. As for the women on the bus.....caricatures of the worst kind.Pah!

ms v saitek

The Microsoft stick is good if you are right handed. The only problem is that the controls are fairly "loose" thus you tend to over control until you learn to be very gentle. Small movements bring large control changes. the Saitek Cyborg 3D is stiffer so easier to control. If you are left handed it is the Cyborg hands down. I did not have any random imput problems with the Cyborg J13 as were reported above.

Maybe I had a Lemon . . .

Note: I am commenting on a clock which I DID NOT purchase from Amazon.The clock does everything advertised, but its most useful unique feature is the projection of the time, alternating with the outside temperature, on the ceiling or wall.If you sleep on your back, you'll LOVE the idea of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the time on the ceiling above you.I returned this unit, though, because I had way too much trouble getting the outside sensor to communicate with the main unit-- and I never had it outside of the same room. I followed the manual, which instructs you to put batteries in the sensor FIRST, then in the main unit, but it never displayed the temperature from the sensor.The instructions are not so easy to understand, and if you haven't had one of these projection clocks before, it may take a lot of reading and re-reading.

Thinking man's (or woman's) key to faith.

My heart longed for something more than the superficial life I was leading. There was a God shaped hole, begging to be filled. Then I read Dr. Patrick's book about the inner spiritual life. All my objections to the Jewish religion I learned growing up were answered. My misconceptions of the Christian faith were erased. Two years later, I am on a path that is joyous and peaceful. This book was the key to the great gate at the beginning of my spiritual path.

Initial Impressions Almost Killed It

I bought this game because frankly I was looking for a MMORPG but I didn't know where to look. I was in CompUSA at the time and I asked the guy for his reccomendation. He said Ultima Online which I looked at and it said no XP support, so I looked on. Next, random people that were passing said that Dark Age of Camelot was one of the best so I picked it up.At first I thought the game was basically the same as what I saw from my limited time at Everquest. That being a convulted interface and extrememely large learning curve. So I uninstalled the game. However, one of my friends wanted to see it and I reinstalled it and picked a different character on a co-op server and was blown away. Once you get past the inital problems and issues with the interface the game seems to open up.Now, I'm only level 4 but from what I've seen I'll probably stick with this game. At least until World of Warcraft from Blizzard comes out.

not worth the trouble

I purchased the phone at an amazingly low price with all of the rebates ([...])! It's definitely different from any other phone I've owned in the past. The swivel screan was my favorite feature however, in the first week of using the phone, the screan broke right off. I took it to T-Mobile and they replaced it. Another week later, the keyboard cracked. Then, the screan cracked. I always carried the phone in the leather case in my pocket or purse. I've never had a phone that fragile before. I was at T-Mobile about 3 times a week with problem after problem, from equipment malfunctions to service issues. After two-months of nothing but trouble, I paid the [...] cancellation fee (the amount I saved in rebates) and threw the phone out. It just wasn't worth the trouble.

The funniest movie about the 60s ever

. . . and it comes from France! Set around a funeral, a family gathered - perhaps for the very last time - in grief, and in the midst of a near-revolution, The May Fools manages to cover the entire history of the 60s through hope, euphoria, and paranoia, back to a cynical, sad reality. Still one of the funniest movies ever made.I am fortunate to have an old video tape of it. I am writing this in the hope that someday it will be released on DVD for American audiences.

History in a Contemporary Voice

We all have learned or heard phrases from many of the speeches contained in this book. It was a pleasure to read them in their entirety and find that the emotion of the time came through - even in print - even after decades had passed. They certainly offer a more interesting, inspirational view of history than a dry academic text. The only downside - my English husband was disappointed that one of Churchill's best, "We will fight them on the beaches", was not included.

Definitely worth the wait!

I know it's a pain to have to wait so long between Simpson releases, but if they were cranking out feature-only versions every month it wouldn't be worth it at all. I appreciate all the thought and work they put into the releases. The commentaries are all very interesting, as are the extras relating to the particular seasons. P.S. those who say the show has been "slipping" of late are liars--and not true Simpsons fans at all. The show has gotten wilder at times but hey, welcome to the 21st century! I think they've tapped into new levels of creativity. It's called evolving with the times. I hope they last for 10 more seasons...at least!

Not flamenco

Having to record this pot-boiler must have felt to Paco and Ramón like Leonardo would have felt had he been forced to paint by numbers.But how you feel about it will depend very much on what sort of music you're looking for.If you want an album of impeccably played Latin (and other) standards, backed by gooey strings, then this will suit you perfectly.If, on the other hand, you're misled by the names of two of the best guitarists of their generation into thinking that this has something to do with Flamenco, then you're in the wrong place.Note the glazed expressions in the photograph, and how Paco can't resist sneaking a bit of alegrías into the introduction of "Save the Last Dance for Me", just to relieve the boredom.

This music is worse than Kenny G. and Michael Bolton put together. I'm surprised this is actually considered music. This is an embarassment to Postal Services across the world.

When I hear this music playing it makes me want to throw up in my mouth.

I would recommend this toy/pre-school computer laptop to all children that are just learning how to read and count.

Phyllis' two best albums remastered and reissued on this special 2-CD set.

This is some of the finest and best romantic music ever made. The late Phyllis Hyman was one of the greatest songstresses of the v20th century and the two albums reissued on this package were her greatest works. "Walk Away", "Living All Alone", "First Time Together", "I Found Love", "Living In Confusion", "Old Friend" and "You Just Don't Know" are timeless ballads which were tailor-made for Phyllis' emotive, wistful and melancholic singing style. She left us much too soon but her music stands the test of time.

This book helped me immeasurably

This book was given to me by my therapist. I read this book over twenty years ago in the throes of the complete disintegration of my relationship with my extremely difficult and emotionally disturbed mother. It made me feel as if I was not alone - and helped me to realize that I needed to cut my mother out of my life. This was not, as anyone can imagine, an easy decision for me. I have since given the book to many people who struggle with that pivotal relationship in their lives. A very valuable book that I continue to recommend and keep on my bookshelf.

Everytime I used the wall switch the power filter tripped. This is a brand new custom home about a year old.

Runs like its defective

Our replaced $20 toaster toasts toast much faster than this thing. The timer goes to high (that's a joke) and toast is ready only before high setting, which takes about 4-5 minutes. Anything more than simple toast you have to reset the timer to high, and you can't stop the time or turn it forward for those times that you have to keep cooking toast but don't want to burn it in the second or third cycle.Would send it back if the return systme for Amazon wasn't soaggravating.Will not buy any kitchen items from Amazon or Delonghi again!There are too many working kitchen items at the store, that if they don't work, you can actually return them with no fuss!I am out over $160.00 for this non-working overpriced supposed toaster oven. Next time I am going to a store!

Slow and unspectacular

based in 1999, this one tells the story of an LAPD officer, working at the Rampart division, who is crossing the line and venturing to the other side of the law. This recalls the LAPD Rampart scandal of the era, when officers were framing suspects, and planting drugs and weapons on them. The movie goes between the story of the officer's problems on the job, and the relationship difficulties with his daughters and two exes. The problem I had with the movie was that it focused a little too much on the family situation and not enough on the policing scandal. The film would have been more compelling had it been more focused on the officer being involved in overstepping his authority and getting involved in possible criminal activity. A bit slow and unspectacular, this one was a disappointment.

Zombie lovers manual

While this book is stated as a humorous guide to zombie survival I actually found it to not to contain any humor in the slightest which perhaps is the best aspect of this book. It takes itself so seriously that one can not help buy chuckle at the absurdity of it all while at the same time wondering if, just perhaps... Zombies are real.Simply put this is for anyone that has ever enjoyed the old zombie movies of yester-year this book is simply amazing in its details of zombies and straight forward look at what a real zombie outbreak might be like. From compelling scientific analysis of zombies to accounts of real attacks, this book covers all the bases for a perfect cover to cover read.A must read for anyone remotely interested in the horror genre and especially in classic zombie flicks.

Different Dawn

This movie is very good, being a huge fan of the original Dawn of the Dead, I'm glad it took a different approach instead of a "remake". Although the plot is differnent, I am glad that they kept the "mall" tide in. It was also nice to see cameos from 2 of the original cast (Roger and Peter, and see "fly girl's" shop and Tom Savini). It was also nice to see a "baby zombie", I do wish it had a little more to it. Overall this was a very good movie, didn't drag on and there was gore (not a lot).

What's the point of this pad? The whole fun in DDR is moving your body - there's absolutely no fun involved in just using your fingers. And if you somehow find that fun, then you could easily use the regular controller - it's easier to push and more comfortable, and you already have one.
