1	A classic in public policy	This is a classic in public policy research, really worth reading and checking once and over again. Useful also for Master or PhD students of management sciences that are pursuing a gov position, or a job related or even indirectly affected by the challenges of political affairs. It covers one of the topics that frustrated me the most when I had the chance of working in a ministry: how do politicians build their agendas? why it happens that a seemingly irrelevant topic is devoted a huge effort in terms of an agency's budget and people, and other far more important topics are sometimes tangently touched or even purposefully ignored?Not too long, very clear, good examples, a really worth reading.	positive
0	DVD operation is very poor	While the price for this HTS is very nice, the performance is substandard. There's a hissing sound when the unit is off. The DVD player has trouble playing DVDs. I have a large DVD collection & most of them don't play. The surround quality is also very poor. It's a stretch to call it surround sound when half of the speakers don't put out much sound. In order to get this serviced, I have to send it out for up to 3 months. I bought a progressive DVD player, put the audio through the Phillips HTS 3400 and the video to the TV and suddenly the picture was better and the sound was better.	negative
1	So far so good	Quite nice Surge protector, however I havent been in a need to be protected so far by an electricity danger.It offers two kinds of distances (short and long) between the inputs and that's quite convenient.I can recommend it.	positive
0	It's good, but...	A few tracks are missing. While you do get the 1989 remix of the Time Warp and even Superheroes, you don't get Sword of Damocles, Planet Schmanet Janet (Wise Up, Janet Weiss), or Once in a While.Just hold out for the 25th Anniversary soundtrack. It's more complete.	negative
0	Poor Customer Service	I love satellite radio but I would be cautious about buying an Xact unit. Xact products carry a 12 month warranty. At exactly 13 months the unit stopped working. Xact customer service informed me they were no longer responsible for the unit. Before buying this product search the web and you will find many "13 month" stories. Instead, I would suggest buying directly from Sirius.	negative
1	Disney's Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray	History repeats itself! "Sleeping Beauty" was the first animated Disney film to be released on VHS tape (many moons ago), so it makes perfect sense that it would be their first animated film to be released on Blu-Ray. I can hardly wait! I have always loved the distinctive artwork (kudos to the late-great Eyvind Earle) and the villianess that is Maleficent (voiced by the same actress as the Evil Stepmother in "Cinderella"). And knowing that it was originally made in wide screen format, it will certainly be a feast for the eyes on Blu-Ray!	positive
0	... for this??!	... I brought the book thinking it would be an overview of torque testing methodologies and and methodologies for testing fastener finishes. Boy was I mistaken. This book (sorry pamphlet...)Is a 3 page (yes... 3 pages)instruction manual on how to put a nut a bolt together in a standard configuration, written entirely in Genericspeak (ex: "Test equipment shall conform to test equipment defined in SAE/USCAR-10")as a side note, the book is not hard cover either. I cannot believe that anybody that orders this "book" does not return it...	negative
1	So many	Maybe it's the water at my grocery store, but we have too many hatched to count! I feel like maybe I should find a bigger tank so my daughter can enjoy them longer? We've kept a close eye on the temp so maybe that helped. I'm afraid I'll overfeed them but it seems I should be feeding more often since there are so many? The leftover floating food does get gross. It's crazy these were lost ontop of my daughter's closet for years before we got them out last week & they worked so well. Changing out some water tomorrow, scared to scoop any up. There's really nowhere to ask these questions...	positive
1	Perfect for the Canon PowerShot A20	It's as if this bag was custom made for the Canon PowerShot A20. The camera compartment is the perfect size; not too big or too small. The front compartment holds 4 AA batteries (a loop for each one), 2 CompactFlash cards and a box of 4 Duracell Ultra AA alkalines that came from a master pack from Costco (in case both sets of Ni-Mh's go belly up; not likely). Highly recommended for a camera the size of the A20.	positive
0	see it once	but never again. My thoughts as I watched this film were: so this is what they did with rejected star trek sets, thank god they only translated every third line, I am not looking forward to the day it reaches DVD and we find out what was edited (or was it), and if given the choice between watching this film again or death - I would seriously consider death!	negative
1	Save our eco system	The reason I love this book is because of the Burrowing Owl on the front cover.I wish more people would realize that Burrowing Owls and Praire Dogs are a eco system and when they poison the Praire Dogs they get rid of an entire eco system.	positive
0	Not as good as expected !	This book does not impress me as much as it should mainly because it does not carry much details about each of the commands, like defining what some words stand for.Maybe I had hoped that it will be something like the DOS6Running Start ISBN of 981-214-445-5 which is a superb book that has examples for each and everyone of the command unlike this nutshell one.All in all, the book fails to express out the OS fully which Linus had created.	negative
0	dishwasher safe.....	The set was very appealing at first but when I washed the knives the first couple of times, they started to rust. I've only had this set for 2 mos. now and they look to be one hundred years old.I agree, the price is very reasonable, but not reasonable enough just for the few times I've used it. Might as well have bought disposables. Had to throw them out..dont think its safe to be cutting food i'm actually going to put in my mouth with a knife thats loaded with rust.	negative
1	Great Buy	Bought this item for half or what a local computer store wanted. Worked right out of the box. Very good product.	positive
1	Good Basketball Saga	The Last Season relates the story of Phil Jackson's difficult last season under his first contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.The Jackson of The Last Season is older and wearier than the Jackson who authored Sacred Hoops, the triumphant memoir that concluded with his retirement from the Chicago Bulls. Sacred Hoops was a superb treatise on management and spirituality in a basketball setting. The Last Season is a simply a good basketball story. In it, Jackson chronicles the daily challenges of keeping his players competitive and the many, often-conflicting demands placed on a coach. Basketball fans will appreciate Jackson's insights and the 'inside story' of Kobe, Shaq and a challenging season for the Los Angeles Lakers.A note to Phil Jackson: a glossary would be appreciated for the non-basketball types, such as myself, who enjoy your writing.	positive
0	Technically flawed, not up to Clancy standards	Most of the earlier Clancy (and Clancy-endorsed) work has had good-to-excellent plot lines, and the technical details have been razor sharp. This characteristic has been lost with this book. They've got Sam Fisher being flown back and forth across the Pacific in an osprey (unrefueled range 500 miles, top speed 240 knots) - Huh??!! In one scene, a character described as having his hands cuffed behind his back picks up a cup of coffee and throws it against a wall. Not too probable. I guess Tom was too busy to give this one a read-thru before it went to the printer. Sad.	negative
1	SIMPLY THE BEST	Terminator 2 is by far one of the best movies to date. The movies offers non stop action and suspense. Aside from this it had a great story. If you dont want to buy this i al least urge you to see it at least twice: once to enjoy the great effects and action, and twice to focus on the great story line.	positive
1	Great Product	I had one just like it for 5 years and I just replaced it with the same one because it is a great product.	positive
1	It's a lot of fun	I bough it for my son when he was about 5 months. He wasn't very interested in it at first, but after a few days, when I started singing along with the puppy, it caught his attention. Overall, I would recommend it; it's a great toy, the songs are fun. There are two modes: education(where the name of the part of the body is called, when you press it and play (has lots of songs and rhymes).There are two things I don't like about it though; it does not have volume regulation option, and the buttons are too easy to push. It's enough that the puppy lies on the back in my baby's crib, and it jumps from one song to another, as if somebody was pushing the button all the time (e.g. my son loves to chew on the ear, so imagine how disturbing it is when it loudly plays only the beginning of the songs over and over again).	positive
1	Great for Kids	My eldest daughter use to love Hi-Five and now my son loves them, so this was the perfect gift for both of them.	positive
0	Fall Update Warning!!	This warning is for all potential buyers of any xbox 360. Microsoft recently released an update for their Xbox Live system, however, due to some complications, many 360's are being destroyed by this update. If you plan on buying one do not connect it to the internet until they fix this issue. Otherwise spend your well earned cash on a next gen system that might be a little more stable than the 360 (i.e. the Nintendo Wii or possibly Sony's PS3).	negative
0	Disappointed	Tried numerous (new) batteries & thing would just not work. Customer service couldnt advise me other than to test it and see if it popped open in 2 hours. !? VERY disappointed! Returning & requesting refund.	negative
0	don't buy	Make sure you read the fine print. IT states that this DVD may not work on DVD players in the USA and Canada. They were right, it did not work and it took time to get refund.	negative
1	Surfin' USA	History sure, yeah yeah. As if it's over. What can you say about a guy who ends a piece -- on ESPN.com no less, two weeks ago -- with this gratuitous aside: "And the whole Bush family, from Texas, should be boiled in poison oil." What can you say except keep it coming, Doc."...you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark -- that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." So wrote HST in Fear and Loathing, part the first.Except that it never really broke. Never really rolled back. He said it never got weird enough for him. But it will. Believe it. And it's coming in like a king-hell tsunami. As we say out here in the wild and wooly world-wide west: Yee-hah!	positive
0	Thomas Trains do not fit in case	The wooden Thomas the Tank Engine trains do not fit in this case. The case is way to small for the trains to fit in. I would not recommend anyone buying this item. It is just a brightly painted metal box, that doesnt serve any useful purpose. The manufactor should be ashamed for false advertising.	negative
0	Mephisto Sandals	I have bought many pairs of these exact sandals in the past. I though I would try online to save some money. The sandals hurt my feet and I am unable to wear them. I am disappointed and would not order these online again.	negative
0	Broke first day.	We were really enjoying walking the bunny for the first time when she hopped andI suddenly realized we had a bunny no longer on the leash. The clip that clipped to the jackethad broken. Also the loop on the jacket had broke off as well. Disappointing for the very first use.	negative
0	It is an 8-1/2 x 11 inch pamphlet of black & white sketches!	Unless the publisher has reprinted this item, I have it copywrite 1999 as a 60 page 8.5" by 11" pamphlet of house plans. They are black and white and about half of them are rough sketches. Floorplans often omit the second floor. I was hoping for more fanciful or outlandish designs, but they all seem to be very practical for families. Often two houses fit on one page. Many of the designs have blueprints you can order from the publisher/designer. The last half of the pamphlet has designs that look like they were drawn by hand in less than two minutes each (there must have been a deadline to get it to the printers!). Because of this quality of the so-called "book", I rate it 2 stars.If you like Fanciful Houses, I suggest you buy 'Storybook Style - America's Whimsical Homes of the Twenties' by Arrol Gellner & Douglas Keister.	negative
1	3.5 stars. A pleasant read-but I won't be reading any more of them...	This little detective book isn't exactly a novel in the traditional sense, it's more of a collection of stories or cases that Precious, the detective solves.Precious is the main character and her voice and perspective are the best parts of the book. She's funny, has strong opinions and a strong moral code.In comparison to the tradional mystery novel, No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is much more literary than the usual fare. It's also less mysterious and slower paced.	positive
1	Good looks, great sight picture.	These mounts fit great on the 10/22(new or the 43 year old one I have). The see through allows for a great sight picture of the iron sights with a 30mm scope. No need for a rail gives them a clean look. The scope is held tight and stays true. I would recommend to a friend.	positive
0	forgive me.............	Ok, ok, I realize that I am going to be fried for this but here goes.......I loved this movie as a child. I worshiped the TV series and I still have quite the collection of Autobots, and Decepticons. However, when my friend got me this film for my birthday, I watched it and found that it really did not hold my interest anymore. I think this film better served its purpose in the 80's, and is truly lost in today's modern era of animation. I would, however, like to see this film remade with better animation, and a FAR better soundtrack. I love the toys, but I did not like this movie.	negative
0	Not a good price to play value	Ours never worked. We turn on the button, a giggle, then nothing. The little fairy doesn't really play with the environment much - there's not a lot to do with it. I'm not sure why this is so expensive since it doesn't do much but sit there. The only thing my daughter has found to do with it is to lose the detachable fake leaves. I can't get the spokes at top to stay in it either. By far, the worst toy purchase I've ever made.	negative
1	Excellent read for an Aliens Fan	Great read for any scifi/horror fan, a very decent storyline and continuation from where Alien Resurrection left off. Excellent story, characters were perfect. More books like this should be written.	positive
1	Best Jerky	I have been trying different jerky's and really love this one. It is turkey (healthy, low fat) and contains no preservatives or nitrates. Delicious!!	positive
1	I could see my heart beating.	My pulse was so fast from the tension on this episode that it woke up my cat. The Breaking Bad team put together a brilliant story on a simple stage with a handful of great talent. Story arcs launched from all throughout the series converge at the very end of this episode with a spectacular impact.This isn't an action-packed star-speckled explosion-fest. It's a carefully designed story based on a reasonable premise in a clear, unvarnished voice. What could be next?	positive
1	The Spiderwick Chronicles	My ten-year-old is a struggling reader in fourth grade. He loves to be read to but not by himself. He loves this series so much that I have caught him up in the middle of the night reading. THANK YOU!	positive
0	Doesn't work as advertised!	Do not be deceived by the product title. This does not read micro SD cards without an adapter. It is outfitted simply for SD sized cards.	negative
0	Beware	I may have gotten a bad copy, but the sound quality on this release is horrible - about the same as a scratchy record.	negative
0	Better than watching TV reruns, but not much else	With a behavioral psychology background, I was drawn to the subject of the book as well as to the "fresh" perspective of its young author. What a disappointment. Toward the end, I could barely suppress my urge to trash this self-serving excuse for a book. The book's content is greatly lacking, unless you enjoy reading about the inner thoughts of egotistical teens. As compared to more "scholarly" works, the text was sorely lacking in documentation and references to other studies of the subject. Spend your money on something more worthwhile.	negative
0	Between 1 and 10, what IQ does the guy below me have?	Seriously, what is that guy below me on about? How is putting out a cd whining about bad things (which is all anti-flag have to offer) going to change things for the better? You act like these cd's are going to start a revolution - even though the majority of people havent even heard of them. Just because you can get a measly record contract to tell everyone why racism and war are bad doesnt mean your going to put an end to them. Grow up, and buy a DK album.	negative
1	A Perfect Supplement To "The Civil War"	Now that Ken Burns' epic "The Civil War" has hit DVD, this 3 disc baby of David Grubin's will keep you entertained just as much. David McCullough's narration in this film is as pleasant as it was in the former, and David Morse reads Lincoln as well as Sam Waterston. Holly Hunter reading Mary also does well. Plus like The Civil War, there is a who's who of interviewees who relate some very good historical facts. This is the first film that I ever watched on American Experience. A welcome edition to my library let alone the collection of PBS documentaries now available on DVD.	positive
0	Good stuff, but....	The Bible quizes and outlines are excellent, but I have a problem with this book. This book suggests that people should read from the New Revised Standard Version Bible which is known as the "Gender Neutral Bible." Some liberal churches use this for text during services. It suggests reading from translations that have problems with them. I am a person that is King James only.	negative
0	What a disappointment!!!	I was so excited to finally get the bucks to buy one of these gadjets. I run a daycare so mopping daily is a necessity! I thought this was an answered prayer. I should've went with Mom's advice and purchased the Hoover!!!Having already owned a Bissell vaccuum, and being extremely happy with that particular purchase, I thought I was making a wise decision in choosing the Bissell FlipIt over the Hoover Floor Mate. What a let down! It does clean well, if you want to take the whole day cleaning the floor! I could mop the old fashioned way much faster. I was so sure I was doing something wrong that I called the 800# to speak with a rep. After I answered his many questions - I finally asked him one. Is it SUPPOSED to work this way?, I asked. "There will be some resistance" was the reply. That's all I needed to know, I said.This baby's going back!	negative
1	Testament of durability.	I haven't worn a watch in years. I wanted to purchase something to go with my business casual dress that would not be too overpowering and still be nice. I had been eyeing this watch for awhile and finally decided to splurge.The watch seemed to be a bit too flashy for me when wearing blue jeans and t shirts, but that ok with me. The latch seemed to be a little bit tricky at first. Once I read the users manual and figured out how to use it I was ok.The reason for writing this article was for its durability. I took it on vacation but didn't want to wear it through security checkpoints. I decided I would stick it in a sock and just check the bag. Once I did this and got home I decided I would wash all of my laundry. Of course I forgot and left the watch in the sock. It goes through the washer and dryer, comes out still ticking. No scratches or anything. I'm impressed!	positive
1	I beg to differ!	The book sends a good message and got my two girls thinking. The purpose of Dr. Laura's radio show is to put your thinking cap on, and I think this was the purpose for the childrens book also. They might not have understood why the mother bought all the toys first but it brought a large discussion between me and my daughters which was amazing. They were able to think hard and strong about the books point and this provided them with a deeper knowledge of knowing to thoroughly thinking something through. I do recommend this book to everyone who wants to make a point or set an example with there children. Whether it be what my girls understood or something else. The book can set many levels to take your childrens thoughts to.	positive
1	A terrific book for opera lovers	This is a simply marvelous book: well written, interesting, and informative. Prof. Kelly is that rara avis, an academic who can write. I highly recommend this book to the operatic newcomer and professional alike.	positive
0	Nice concept, but poor build quality	I received the trash can with several dents on its side, probably due to shipping. After examining the material it was made of, I concluded that the metal was very thin and flimsy. The dents caused the retainer ring to no longer fit properly in the can. I can say that the lid opening mechanism was very smooth and functional, but the poor build quality of the can itself is why I'm returning it.	negative
0	Volume 1	Description should include information regarding missing chapters or is a volume.Chapter 11-23 were missing which were required for my class assignments.	negative
0	Arguably one of the worst movies ever made	Everyone alive should watch this movie once just so they can understand how hard it is to make a movie this bad. The plot manages to transcend reality in an unintentional way. The writing seems to be done by an individual who was hoping to drive people away from the cinema and perhaps towards suicide. When one ponders the incredible amount of money and effort that went into this movie it is soul crushing to reflect on all the suffering that there is in the world. The resources that went into this movie could have paid for clean needles or a bowl of oatmeal for a hungry child. Instead this thing was made. Robert De Niro should be conscripted into the military for making this movie and sent on a suicide mission in the anus of the world. Wesley Snipes has been to prison since this movie was made. He, like this movie, should not have been released.	negative
1	Excellent book with a lot of nice stuff inside	This book is so cheap but with so many interesting stuff inside, I guess everyone in optics should know something about symmetry and the general thoery.	positive
1	Great Science Reference Book	This is a great science reference book for kids 10 and up. It has so much wonderful information and beautiful illustrations. Looking forward to using it when his class goes over this section in school this year (5th grade) for both science and health related studies.	positive
0	What was she thinking!	There's no way anyone with a 9-5 could do this without getting dizzy and passing out. This is completely unreasonable fast or detox plan unless you go to the facility to be monitored 24/7.If looking into this please pass and do weight watchers or something less drastic.	negative
1	good movie	good movie great message for young people. Watched on Kindle Fire and images were very good. Would recommend this movie to anyone.	positive
0	Average	The information throughout the book was very beginner level. I consider myself to be a pretty savvy and intensive user and was looking for more details, particularly relating to database migration, and it didn't even get into that area. My overall impression is that someone simply copied all the Help topics and placed them in a book. It may be of use if you've never used Act before.	negative
0	karla bonoff	She has a beautiful voice but the songs are lame, they sound like watered down Linda Ronstandt. These songs and arrangements have not weathered the test of time. Don't bother!	negative
0	B-Movie	Starship Troopers had a old idea, make a movie about big bugs and guys with big guns killing them. Hey, that would be worth it. What you don't know is that you have to sit through a sappy love story that seems written by a day dreaming fifth grader. This takes up half the time, played out by professional models rather than actors. The future looks like "Teen" magazine. As such the lines are said for the simple sake of having them said. The characters have no real depth beyond yelling things and shooting things. Once the action picks up there isn't anything to cry about, lots of big bugs getting ripped apart with major firepower. Stimulating as little of the viewer's brain as possible. But to get there you should skip the first half of the movie.Now if you want a real sci-fi flick with marines and bugs go get Aliens and stop throwing away your money.	negative
1	Good advice	Overall the book gave good advice. I especially like the special sections to homemakers, ex-convicts, veterans, and people in recovery. We all have to learn to sell ourselves to employers if we want to have work we'll enjoy. I also like the idea of short cover letters. 4 paragraphs is just too long for today's hiring manager.The one thing I disagree with is not using bullets in your resume. The resume examples in the book are very text heavy. They're not the best ways to use the reader's time. I think it's good to use bullets to make the resume easier to read. I also wish he made a section for people who've been laid off or fired since that happens to so many people nowadays.Despite my criticisms, I still think it's a good book. One bit of advice I really like is for lines with no text, you can choose an 8-point font to save space. I tried it and it works with my resume.	positive
0	Horrible....Just Horrible	This is possibly one of the worst movies I have seen. It is just horrible. The whole move is tongue in cheek, but it seems no one informed the actors or directors.Way too much talent to be wasted on this..	negative
1	You can't play with it, but that is not the point at all!	This is not a toy meant to be played with. It's really just for display. So, while not "fun" in the traditional sense, if you were ever a fan of the Ultima Online series, it is really cool. With the exquisite details that he is known for, Todd McFarlane fans will be sure to appreciate the uniqueness of the item. This guy is one freaky-looking bad guy! Not a nice person at all!	positive
0	Wouldn't watch it again	Explosions, car chases and suspense made for interesting enough viewing, but I couldn't really get past the immense cultural ignorance of the FBI agents as portrayed in this movie. Are these guys really our top 2%? Then how come, after getting special super-secret permission to bring in a crack team, they brought a Jew and a woman? They might as well have brought their dog and let it do its business on the palace lawn. How come they were reading The Koran for Dummies on the flight over? They should have already read the Koran itself. The woman didn't have the sense to keep her head and arms covered around the Muslim men, or to insist on a separate bedroom, but of course she wanted to be taken seriously. And there was the hokey ending -- 'We'll kill them all!" -- a bit too much in-your-face with the never ending cycle of violence.	negative
0	Couldn't fit them in my ears!	I bought the V-MODA earbuds because they had excellent reviews and were reasonably priced. I like an above average bass level so that appealed to me as well, but in this case I was wrong. The emphasized bass clouded the overall sound, and it definitely wasn't as clear as I would like it. The smallest gel casing was too big for my ear and kept popping out, which is really annoying while running on a treadmill. Also I did not like the feeling of it in my ear canal, I'd rather have earbuds like the ones that come with your Ipod that sit in your ear and doesn't leave you feeling like you have an ear infection.	negative
1	Save aDive	If you are a diver, you better buy one of these. Worse scenario in the world is to about ready to make a dive and the equipment fails. Blown 0-Rings happen all the time. Prepare a head of time for equipment failure. This product is a must for all divers and well worth the money.	positive
1	Sexy, but they don't stay up very well	My wife got these in combination with a very sexy school girl costume. She looked great in these, but did complain about having to frequently pull them up. The length appeared to be perfect, went to mid-thigh. To put it into perspective, she is 5'7" with relatively long legs. Overall, she likes them.	positive
0	Experimental art prioritizing good songs	I was turned onto Of Montreal from a friend of mine who's way into them. My intrigue led me to purchase this album partly do to the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Take one part melodies from the Beatles, Seals and Crofts, and jarring dash of Bill Bruford, add seven parts meandering electronic backdrop for said melodies, top it all off with an absolute aversion to forming a coherent song, and you have Of Montreal's "The Sunlandic Twins". There's an abundance of creepy low budget circus like synth sounds -- flutes, strings, organs, etc. -- and almost every song has annoying overly dramatic choral like "oh's" throughout. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy then please check this album out. I clearly couldn't get into it.	negative
0	Where did all the good bands go...?	My Lord, if this is all my generation of music has to offer in terms of the biggest band being Coldplay and Chris Martin being an icon... oh dear, i'm gonna have to tell some pretty big lies to my grandkids when they ask me what music was like when i was younger... this is soooo boring, unadventurous, and absolute PAP!Lyrics like 'Tears streaming down your face... i'll try to fix you' oh please! 'birds flying at the speed of sound... if you could see it then you'd understand' erm, what?For heaven's sake! Look at decent bands for decent music like Arctic Monkeys, the Killers, Kasabian... not Chris Martin's dreary old granny music that is about as interesting as a Walnut Whip.I was completely ripped off when i bought this CD. Liam Galleger is right, Chris Martin is a plant pot.Choose your icons carefully!	negative
0	It didn't work.	The first copy of this DVD I recieved would not play past the twenty-eight second introduction. I returned it to Amazon and the replacement did the same thing so I returned that one too. They may be simply bad DVD's or were for some region other than USA.	negative
0	Choose a different item!!!	Upon receiving this boombox, I was immediately discouraged when few radio stations were able to come dispite the fact that I can pick them up on my handheld walkman. It was downhill after that - the CD player didn't work and it would turn itself off when switching between tuner and CD. When I could get sound, it sounded hollow and void of any true sound. Choose a different radio, or at least be aware of what you're getting.	negative
0	Movie is great... beware of digital copy promise	The movie is GREAT. My complaint and reason for the one star is that it eems Sony got a bit sneaky with this one. They list a digital copy as part of the set. I paid more for this set expecting to get the digital copy. There is one problem... the digital copy only works with a Sony Playstation 3. It does say this on the back jacket of the disc set. However, when I ordered it off of Amazon, I had no idea until I opened the package. I won't be buying another Sony disc with the promise of a digital copy.	negative
1	':- )GREAT BOOK!	A ring of endless light is one of my favorite books. I have read it over and over again, because it is so good. It is sad, touching, and shows death in a new perspective. Madeleine L'Engle is a brilliant writer and while reading the book, you feel like Vicki Austin. All the problems she is having as a teenager makes you think. I think that everyone should read this book because it teaches a lot. I love the book!	positive
0	Nothing like the show	It was one of those movies that you can shut off your mind and just watch. It wasn't bad yet it wasn't good either. Johnny Knoxville seems he should have been Jack Nicholson's goofy son (just in general because of the way he looks)...that's not a good thing. And Jessica Simpson is very pretty but lacking any real personality. I can't help but think talking to her would be boring. Seann William Scott was the bright spot in this lackluster film (the car crashes were the stars).	negative
0	Unsatisfied	I am not satisfied with the item i purchased from you. The item frequently freezes and stops, making it difficult to play. It does this everytime i try to play. It's still malfunctioning and i would love if you help to resolve the issue. I really had my plans on enjoying a game of Sims 2, but this game will not function correctly. Ever since i received the package it has been malfunctioning incorrectly. I will not play and constantly stops and freezes up. I would LOVE a full refund if you cant resolve the issue. Thanks.	negative

0	Watched the trailer before renting, movie was unexpected.	Thought it would be a light comedy with a fuzzy bear. Turned out to be an unbelievable story and romp of raunch, dope smoking, and beer guzzling which I can watch with a couple of college age idiot buddies, I wouldn't have liked them though especially a loser 30 year old and a stuffed bear. I turned it off digusted and have no plans to finish it, what a waste of time.	negative

1	The "Human" Side of Pregnancy	I purchased this book originally in 1997 for my best friend when she was pregnant. This year she was able to return it to me for my benefit and enjoyment. I LOVED this book. It really puts the "human" side of pregnancy into perspective, and tells you things that "your doctor won't tell you". I have spent many evenings laughing out loud at this wonderful collection of information and helpful hints. My husband wants to read it after I finish, just so he can see what I have been so tickled about! I have recommended it to my ob/gyn and their midwives to add to their "recommended reading" list.	positive

I did not get the extended warranty, which should be unnecessary if the company stands behind its product.This item is crap. I don't know what I'm going to do with mine. What a horrible WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!	negative
1	Excellent choice	I bought my unit over 3 years ago when my vcr died. Did some research and liked what I read about this unit.The DMR E85H is not as difficult to learn to use as some reviews state, and it's not as troublesome either. Mine has operated nearly flawlessly the entire 3 years I owned it. Earlier this year, I bought a second dvr,and went with the Phillips DVDR 3575H, since more Panasonic DMR E85s were not available at that time. The Phillips is a fine unit, but I definitely like the Panasonic MUCH better.Last week, the Panasonic went completely dead.... a simple internet search took me to this page: http://vassfamily.net/projects/DMRE85H/dmre85h.html I followed the information on that page, and found the same 3 capacitors leaking on my unit. Easily replaced them myself, and got it back in operation, for less than $10!	positive

1	Awesome Book	I love Armstrong's writing style and the subject matter is very compelling. Written as a novel it couldn't have been more fascinating.

1	Great album, great voice	This is the first R&B album that I bought so I really was not sure what to expect, but when I put this cd into my stereo I was amazed on how such an artist like Avant can transform his toughts into a musical ballad.

0	Very Disappointing	If you enjoyed the book, you won't want to watch the Disney version of this movie. Characterization was changed (a friendly dwarf became a nasty grump, Prince Caspian and King Peter had jealousy issues); scenes were added that weren't in the book, and basically all of the best parts of the book were omitted. There were battles that never took place. In fact, fighting was the main focus of this movie. Anything that had any hint of spirituality was obliterated from the movie. If Disney wanted to create a fantasy battle movie, they should have just hired someone to write one. Prince Caspian is definitely NOT the Prince Caspian that C.S. Lewis wrote. I will definitely not watch any more Disney adaptations of Narnia.	negative
0	HDTV Still too expensive for quality it gives	No one can argue that this product displays the best image of any TV available. However, even with the regulations that make local television begin to broadcast in HDTV, this dosn't mean that they will change their studio cameras and other in station equipment to HDTV: only the tower that broadcast that signal. the lack of broadcast stations transmitting a fully capitalized HDTV signal, as well as the tremendous price of these televisions puts them in a constant cycle. TV stations won't change internal equipment until more people buy the sets, and they won't buy them until these rediculous prices come down.	negative
1	An Indomitable Woman's Spiritual Odyssey	Chna Galland's account of her spiritual odyssey, Longing For Darkness, is absolutely riveting. Her journey from her disappointment in her male-centered Roman Catholic tradition through Buddhism with its strong female Deity,Tara,only to find that feminine spirit inspiring the Black Madonnas of her own faith.By blending the two traditions, Ms.Galland found a spirituality that satisfied her longing for a feminine aspect of God. Her complete honesty about her inner being makes this book unique. Wherever she wanders, she connects with people of deep faith and learns from every tradition. This book is worth your effort.It may start you on your own spiritual journey, as it did for me.	positive
1	Pressure Washer Alternative	I came close to buying this model at BJ. The price was good and the quality seemed ok. However I found a different one at Lowes for $279 built by Troy-Bilt. It it rated at 2550 PSI, has the Briggs and Stratton engine 6.75 and works really well. It came with 3 tips and runs like a charm. Lowes also carry the exact same model with a Honda engine for $20 more or refurbished 3000 psi washers for $199. For some reason Lowes does not show their pressure washers online so you'll have to make a trip to the store to see what they have.All the models I was interested in have the extra clear hose dip to suck from detergent bottles, but none of the models offered a valve to control the flow of the soap. I found a small plastic valve at Lowes in the plumbing dept that I will be able to insert in the feeding line to solve this problem.Happy cleaning.	positive
0	I bought because of reviews - mistake	1. The cord is so short that you have to be very close to computer.2. The ear piece is simply awful, especially if you are a woman you need to keep a hand on it to keep it in your ear.3. After a few months use the sound got quieter and quieter than was gone. There is no support of any kind from the company or online.No sound means you end up tossing it out. Sadly a complete waste of money. But I did learn a lesson, always check the negative reviews first.	negative
0	Well, it made a great cup of coffee for the first couple of weeks...	We were initially very pleased with this item. Its pressure steam system made an aromatic, rich cup of coffee--for the first couple of weeks until a crack developed in the plastic base, allowing the steam to escape. Then it made a real bitter cup of joe. We had to return the base to the authorized Krups repair shop several weeks ago and are still waiting for a replacement!	negative
1	What a cool album...	Mark Isham has a gift for capturing, even setting, moods. His pieces evoke feelings and moods. Not quite background music but not quite music you actively listen to, his music allows parts of us to arise, giving us pause to reflect, to wander, to dream.This is the soundtrack for a great movie but the soundtrack stands on its own. It is exploratory and adventurous. There are several jazz/blues numbers on it but there is also some experimental music that is difficult to categorize. It is at once entrancing yet challening. That may sound a bit technical but the one word that describes the whole thing is 'cool', as in the jazz kind of cool.There aren't many like this one to find. That's what makes it so good. If you are looking for some creative and different music, this is a great place to wander.	positive
0	The real Cornwell must have died some time back !!	Oh where has the old Cornwell gone. Man, did I love her books. The cover on this book sounded like the old Cornwell had returned but this is just another in a string of disappointments. This book is horrible - it jumps all over the place - it's more about people that really seem to not get along and don't know what their life is all about. Cornwell tries to mix in some of her old style but it just gets lost. It seems like her attempts are like the movies when they throw in nude scenes - just tryin to give you a little thrill.I'm done buying her books. I miss the old Partricia Cornwell.	negative
1	Simon Birch DVD	This movie is so good. I recommend it for young teens to adults, and don't forget to have tissues handy. There is a good lesson, in that, as we all know, don't judge a book by it's cover. And special people are just that, "SPECIAL."	positive
0	Skip this and Read "Eagle and Rose" by Altea instead.	"The Eagle and the Rose" is the best of this genre of true stories on paranormal experiences. Van Praagh's novel is poorly written and skimpy on details. Read Altea's book instead and you'll be well rewarded.	negative
1	Fun and easy and pretty	Most craft books don't have enough pictures and illustrations for my liking. This one has a lot -- really breaks down the projects into steps that are easy to follow. Nothing is too hard. The photos are beautiful. The projects are quirky. I like all the recycling (flowers from sunday comics, old sweaters into new hats). You don't have to go out and buy much. Especially good for making gifts.	positive
0	Not true. Results are subject to your body type	I was excercising and following a protein based + minumum carbs diet. My goal was to reduce fat and cholesterol. I read this book and decided to give it a try.1.- If you are planning to become a vegan this may work for you.2.- Even though carbos have no fat, your body converts carbs into sugar for energy and sugar becomes fat.I gain back 2 pounds in a week! Not only that but I grew back 2.5 inches of belly!!Carbos have been always a problem for me. They surely store in my belly. I was excercising at the time I tried this diet. I was at the gym 3 times a week for at least one hour.This messed up my fitness program big time. I had to started all over again.I know some people that had become skinny with this program but MAKE SURE YOUR BODY TYPE will respond to this program before you start. You may be dissapointed.

1	Paradise Found, Tout Mi Mi	I have seen Marie Christine on broadway. I came home that night wanting to sing the songs, but not knowing the tunes. Now that my friends and I have a copy, we can reflect on how beautiful the songs were. Audra, much more so than Anthony, has truly outdone herself, with this vocally exhausting work of genious. Others who have exhibited excellence in their craft are Mary Testa as the outgoing Magdalena, Vivian Reed as the wise mother of MC, the three prisoners who serve, more or less, as narrators, and Kimberly JaJuan who plays Marie's innocent first soprano maid. A special BRAVO to David Evans who, by some work of magic, musically directed this brilliant piece of art. I personally recommend "There is a Way Back to Paradise" A mix of traditional African beats and brassy creole sounds, Marie Christine made for a good broadway musical, would've made for an excellent concert, and therefore makes for this flawless CD. Well done LaChuisa! Dansez Calinda!	positive
0	The Power of Being a Good Christian	That should be the title of the book. Positive thinking? Um, very minimal. Oh yeh, did I mention you need to think postively? This book refers alot to the Bible. I don't have any problems with that, but I thought the title is pretty misleading. If you don't convert to Christianity after reading this book, I don't know what will. This book leans more to God for help than positive thinking. OK, maybe postive thinking is thinking about God, but how about people not religious? Again, not the best title. I got fooled by the title, decided to read it anyway, and was very disappointed.	negative
0	Redford's propaganda effort against Gitmo- You get to pay for it!	This is a thinly disguised classic Hollywood lefty propaganda effort against our country's efforts to protect us from terrorism, and as such, I detest Redford's arrogance in trying to sell us copies at great expense for his overpaid cast and services!The lines are purely hypothetical, and bear no resemblance to reality.	negative
0	Not only is it a stupid toy... It's dangerous!	I put my son under it at about 6 months. He was born premature but caught right up into the 90th percentile for his height and weight. He was WAY too long to do anything with this toy lying down. He just kicked it and it scooted away from him everytime he did. I was forever moving it closer to him. Also, there are no lights or anything remotely interesting on this toy until the second stage; and like a previous poster said, the lights and sounds are more confusing than anything. But with all that, I still tried to make the toy work for us- until it fell on my son! He was learning to sit up and put ONE arm on the top, and if fell right on him! One of the safety legs had a little piece that snapped right off! Under only 16 lbs of weight! He had a huge bump on his head and everything. I returned it to Babies "r" Us, and they put it back on the shelf! I couldn't believe it!	negative

A classic in public policy

This is a classic in public policy research, really worth reading and checking once and over again. Useful also for Master or PhD students of management sciences that are pursuing a gov position, or a job related or even indirectly affected by the challenges of political affairs. It covers one of the topics that frustrated me the most when I had the chance of working in a ministry: how do politicians build their agendas? why it happens that a seemingly irrelevant topic is devoted a huge effort in terms of an agency's budget and people, and other far more important topics are sometimes tangently touched or even purposefully ignored?Not too long, very clear, good examples, a really worth reading.

DVD operation is very poor

While the price for this HTS is very nice, the performance is substandard. There's a hissing sound when the unit is off. The DVD player has trouble playing DVDs. I have a large DVD collection & most of them don't play. The surround quality is also very poor. It's a stretch to call it surround sound when half of the speakers don't put out much sound. In order to get this serviced, I have to send it out for up to 3 months. I bought a progressive DVD player, put the audio through the Phillips HTS 3400 and the video to the TV and suddenly the picture was better and the sound was better.

Poor Customer Service

I love satellite radio but I would be cautious about buying an Xact unit. Xact products carry a 12 month warranty. At exactly 13 months the unit stopped working. Xact customer service informed me they were no longer responsible for the unit. Before buying this product search the web and you will find many "13 month" stories. Instead, I would suggest buying directly from Sirius.

Disney's Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray

History repeats itself! "Sleeping Beauty" was the first animated Disney film to be released on VHS tape (*many* moons ago), so it makes perfect sense that it would be their first animated film to be released on Blu-Ray. I can hardly wait! I have always loved the distinctive artwork (kudos to the late-great Eyvind Earle) and the villianess that is Maleficent (voiced by the same actress as the Evil Stepmother in "Cinderella"). And knowing that it was originally made in wide screen format, it will certainly be a feast for the eyes on Blu-Ray!

So many

Maybe it's the water at my grocery store, but we have too many hatched to count! I feel like maybe I should find a bigger tank so my daughter can enjoy them longer? We've kept a close eye on the temp so maybe that helped. I'm afraid I'll overfeed them but it seems I should be feeding more often since there are so many? The leftover floating food does get gross. It's crazy these were lost ontop of my daughter's closet for years before we got them out last week & they worked so well. Changing out some water tomorrow, scared to scoop any up. There's really nowhere to ask these questions...

Perfect for the Canon PowerShot A20

It's as if this bag was custom made for the Canon PowerShot A20. The camera compartment is the perfect size; not too big or too small. The front compartment holds 4 AA batteries (a loop for each one), 2 CompactFlash cards and a box of 4 Duracell Ultra AA alkalines that came from a master pack from Costco (in case both sets of Ni-Mh's go belly up; not likely). Highly recommended for a camera the size of the A20.

see it once

but never again. My thoughts as I watched this film were: so this is what they did with rejected star trek sets, thank god they only translated every third line, I am not looking forward to the day it reaches DVD and we find out what was edited (or was it), and if given the choice between watching this film again or death - I would seriously consider death!

Not as good as expected !

This book does not impress me as much as it should mainly because it does not carry much details about each of the commands, like defining what some words stand for.Maybe I had hoped that it will be something like the DOS6Running Start ISBN of 981-214-445-5 which is a superb book that has examples for each and everyone of the command unlike this nutshell one.All in all, the book fails to express out the OS fully which Linus had created.

The set was very appealing at first but when I washed the knives the first couple of times, they started to rust. I've only had this set for 2 mos. now and they look to be one hundred years old.I agree, the price is very reasonable, but not reasonable enough just for the few times I've used it. Might as well have bought disposables. Had to throw them out..dont think its safe to be cutting food i'm actually going to put in my mouth with a knife thats loaded with rust.

Good Basketball Saga

The Last Season relates the story of Phil Jackson's difficult last season under his first contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.The Jackson of The Last Season is older and wearier than the Jackson who authored Sacred Hoops, the triumphant memoir that concluded with his retirement from the Chicago Bulls. Sacred Hoops was a superb treatise on management and spirituality in a basketball setting. The Last Season is a simply a good basketball story. In it, Jackson chronicles the daily challenges of keeping his players competitive and the many, often-conflicting demands placed on a coach. Basketball fans will appreciate Jackson's insights and the 'inside story' of Kobe, Shaq and a challenging season for the Los Angeles Lakers.A note to Phil Jackson: a glossary would be appreciated for the non-basketball types, such as myself, who enjoy your writing.

Technically flawed, not up to Clancy standards

Most of the earlier Clancy (and Clancy-endorsed) work has had good-to-excellent plot lines, and the technical details have been razor sharp. This characteristic has been lost with this book. They've got Sam Fisher being flown back and forth across the Pacific in an osprey (unrefueled range 500 miles, top speed 240 knots) - Huh??!! In one scene, a character described as having his hands cuffed behind his back picks up a cup of coffee and throws it against a wall. Not too probable. I guess Tom was too busy to give this one a read-thru before it went to the printer. Sad.

It's a lot of fun

I bough it for my son when he was about 5 months. He wasn't very interested in it at first, but after a few days, when I started singing along with the puppy, it caught his attention. Overall, I would recommend it; it's a great toy, the songs are fun. There are two modes: education(where the name of the part of the body is called, when you press it and play (has lots of songs and rhymes).There are two things I don't like about it though; it does not have volume regulation option, and the buttons are too easy to push. It's enough that the puppy lies on the back in my baby's crib, and it jumps from one song to another, as if somebody was pushing the button all the time (e.g. my son loves to chew on the ear, so imagine how disturbing it is when it loudly plays only the beginning of the songs over and over again).

Fall Update Warning!!

This warning is for all potential buyers of any xbox 360. Microsoft recently released an update for their Xbox Live system, however, due to some complications, many 360's are being destroyed by this update. If you plan on buying one do not connect it to the internet until they fix this issue. Otherwise spend your well earned cash on a next gen system that might be a little more stable than the 360 (i.e. the Nintendo Wii or possibly Sony's PS3).

What can you say except keep it coming, Doc."...you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost *see* the high-water mark -- that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." So wrote HST in Fear and Loathing, part the first.Except that it never really broke. Never really rolled back. He said it never got weird enough for him. But it will. Believe it.

It is an 8-1/2 x 11 inch pamphlet of black & white sketches!

Unless the publisher has reprinted this item, I have it copywrite 1999 as a 60 page 8.5" by 11" pamphlet of house plans. They are black and white and about half of them are rough sketches. Floorplans often omit the second floor. I was hoping for more fanciful or outlandish designs, but they all seem to be very practical for families. Often two houses fit on one page. Many of the designs have blueprints you can order from the publisher/designer. The last half of the pamphlet has designs that look like they were drawn by hand in less than two minutes each (there must have been a deadline to get it to the printers!). Because of this quality of the so-called "book", I rate it 2 stars.If you like Fanciful Houses, I suggest you buy 'Storybook Style - America's Whimsical Homes of the Twenties' by Arrol Gellner & Douglas Keister.

3.5 stars. A pleasant read-but I won't be reading any more of them...

This little detective book isn't exactly a novel in the traditional sense, it's more of a collection of stories or cases that Precious, the detective solves.Precious is the main character and her voice and perspective are the best parts of the book. She's funny, has strong opinions and a strong moral code.In comparison to the tradional mystery novel, No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is much more literary than the usual fare. It's also less mysterious and slower paced.

Good looks, great sight picture.

These mounts fit great on the 10/22(new or the 43 year old one I have). The see through allows for a great sight picture of the iron sights with a 30mm scope. No need for a rail gives them a clean look. The scope is held tight and stays true. I would recommend to a friend.

forgive me.............

Ok, ok, I realize that I am going to be fried for this but here goes.......I loved this movie as a child. I worshiped the TV series and I still have quite the collection of Autobots, and Decepticons. However, when my friend got me this film for my birthday, I watched it and found that it really did not hold my interest anymore. I think this film better served its purpose in the 80's, and is truly lost in today's modern era of animation. I would, however, like to see this film remade with better animation, and a FAR better soundtrack. I love the toys, but I did not like this movie.

Not a good price to play value

Ours never worked. We turn on the button, a giggle, then nothing. The little fairy doesn't really play with the environment much - there's not a lot to do with it. I'm not sure why this is so expensive since it doesn't do much but sit there. The only thing my daughter has found to do with it is to lose the detachable fake leaves. I can't get the spokes at top to stay in it either. By far, the worst toy purchase I've ever made.

My pulse was so fast from the tension on this episode that it woke up my cat. The Breaking Bad team put together a brilliant story on a simple stage with a handful of great talent. Story arcs launched from all throughout the series converge at the very end of this episode with a spectacular impact.This isn't an action-packed star-speckled explosion-fest. It's a carefully designed story based on a reasonable premise in a clear, unvarnished voice. What could be next?

Do not be deceived by the product title. This does not read micro SD cards without an adapter. It is outfitted simply for SD sized cards.

Better than watching TV reruns, but not much else

With a behavioral psychology background, I was drawn to the subject of the book as well as to the "fresh" perspective of its young author. What a disappointment. Toward the end, I could barely suppress my urge to trash this self-serving excuse for a book. The book's content is greatly lacking, unless you enjoy reading about the inner thoughts of egotistical teens. As compared to more "scholarly" works, the text was sorely lacking in documentation and references to other studies of the subject. Spend your money on something more worthwhile.

Between 1 and 10, what IQ does the guy below me have?

Seriously, what is that guy below me on about? How is putting out a cd whining about bad things (which is all anti-flag have to offer) going to change things for the better? You act like these cd's are going to start a revolution - even though the majority of people havent even heard of them. Just because you can get a measly record contract to tell everyone why racism and war are bad doesnt mean your going to put an end to them. Grow up, and buy a DK album.

A Perfect Supplement To "The Civil War"

Now that Ken Burns' epic "The Civil War" has hit DVD, this 3 disc baby of David Grubin's will keep you entertained just as much. David McCullough's narration in this film is as pleasant as it was in the former, and David Morse reads Lincoln as well as Sam Waterston. Holly Hunter reading Mary also does well. Plus like The Civil War, there is a who's who of interviewees who relate some very good historical facts. This is the first film that I ever watched on American Experience. A welcome edition to my library let alone the collection of PBS documentaries now available on DVD.

Good stuff, but....

The Bible quizes and outlines are excellent, but I have a problem with this book. This book suggests that people should read from the New Revised Standard Version Bible which is known as the "Gender Neutral Bible." Some liberal churches use this for text during services. It suggests reading from translations that have problems with them. I am a person that is King James only.

What a disappointment!!!

I was so excited to finally get the bucks to buy one of these gadjets. I run a daycare so mopping daily is a necessity! I thought this was an answered prayer. I should've went with Mom's advice and purchased the Hoover!!!Having already owned a Bissell vaccuum, and being extremely happy with that particular purchase, I thought I was making a wise decision in choosing the Bissell FlipIt over the Hoover Floor Mate. What a let down! It does clean well, if you want to take the whole day cleaning the floor! I could mop the old fashioned way much faster. I was so sure I was doing something wrong that I called the 800# to speak with a rep. After I answered his many questions - I finally asked him one. Is it SUPPOSED to work this way?, I asked. "There will be some resistance" was the reply. That's all I needed to know, I said.This baby's going back!

Testament of durability.

I haven't worn a watch in years. I wanted to purchase something to go with my business casual dress that would not be too overpowering and still be nice. I had been eyeing this watch for awhile and finally decided to splurge.The watch seemed to be a bit too flashy for me when wearing blue jeans and t shirts, but that ok with me. The latch seemed to be a little bit tricky at first. Once I read the users manual and figured out how to use it I was ok.The reason for writing this article was for its durability. I took it on vacation but didn't want to wear it through security checkpoints. I decided I would stick it in a sock and just check the bag. Once I did this and got home I decided I would wash all of my laundry. Of course I forgot and left the watch in the sock. It goes through the washer and dryer, comes out still ticking. No scratches or anything. I'm impressed!

I beg to differ!

The book sends a good message and got my two girls thinking. The purpose of Dr. Laura's radio show is to put your thinking cap on, and I think this was the purpose for the childrens book also. They might not have understood why the mother bought all the toys first but it brought a large discussion between me and my daughters which was amazing. They were able to think hard and strong about the books point and this provided them with a deeper knowledge of knowing to thoroughly thinking something through. I do recommend this book to everyone who wants to make a point or set an example with there children. Whether it be what my girls understood or something else. The book can set many levels to take your childrens thoughts to.

Nice concept, but poor build quality

I received the trash can with several dents on its side, probably due to shipping. After examining the material it was made of, I concluded that the metal was very thin and flimsy. The dents caused the retainer ring to no longer fit properly in the can. I can say that the lid opening mechanism was very smooth and functional, but the poor build quality of the can itself is why I'm returning it.

Arguably one of the worst movies ever made

Everyone alive should watch this movie once just so they can understand how hard it is to make a movie this bad. The plot manages to transcend reality in an unintentional way. The writing seems to be done by an individual who was hoping to drive people away from the cinema and perhaps towards suicide. When one ponders the incredible amount of money and effort that went into this movie it is soul crushing to reflect on all the suffering that there is in the world. The resources that went into this movie could have paid for clean needles or a bowl of oatmeal for a hungry child. Instead this thing was made. Robert De Niro should be conscripted into the military for making this movie and sent on a suicide mission in the anus of the world. Wesley Snipes has been to prison since this movie was made. He, like this movie, should not have been released.

Average

The information throughout the book was very beginner level. I consider myself to be a pretty savvy and intensive user and was looking for more details, particularly relating to database migration, and it didn't even get into that area. My overall impression is that someone simply copied all the Help topics and placed them in a book. It may be of use if you've never used Act before.

B-Movie

Starship Troopers had a old idea, make a movie about big bugs and guys with big guns killing them. Hey, that would be worth it. What you don't know is that you have to sit through a sappy love story that seems written by a day dreaming fifth grader. This takes up half the time, played out by professional models rather than actors. The future looks like "Teen" magazine. As such the lines are said for the simple sake of having them said. The characters have no real depth beyond yelling things and shooting things. Once the action picks up there isn't anything to cry about, lots of big bugs getting ripped apart with major firepower. Stimulating as little of the viewer's brain as possible. But to get there you should skip the first half of the movie.Now if you want a real sci-fi flick with marines and bugs go get Aliens and stop throwing away your money.

Good advice

Overall the book gave good advice. I especially like the special sections to homemakers, ex-convicts, veterans, and people in recovery. We all have to learn to sell ourselves to employers if we want to have work we'll enjoy. I also like the idea of short cover letters. 4 paragraphs is just too long for today's hiring manager.The one thing I disagree with is not using bullets in your resume. The resume examples in the book are very text heavy. They're not the best ways to use the reader's time. I think it's good to use bullets to make the resume easier to read. I also wish he made a section for people who've been laid off or fired since that happens to so many people nowadays.Despite my criticisms, I still think it's a good book. One bit of advice I really like is for lines with no text, you can choose an 8-point font to save space. I tried it and it works with my resume.

Wouldn't watch it again

Explosions, car chases and suspense made for interesting enough viewing, but I couldn't really get past the immense cultural ignorance of the FBI agents as portrayed in this movie. Are these guys really our top 2%? Then how come, after getting special super-secret permission to bring in a crack team, they brought a Jew and a woman? They might as well have brought their dog and let it do its business on the palace lawn. How come they were reading The Koran for Dummies on the flight over? They should have already read the Koran itself. The woman didn't have the sense to keep her head and arms covered around the Muslim men, or to insist on a separate bedroom, but of course she wanted to be taken seriously. And there was the hokey ending -- 'We'll kill them all!" -- a bit too much in-your-face with the never ending cycle of violence.

Couldn't fit them in my ears!

I bought the V-MODA earbuds because they had excellent reviews and were reasonably priced. I like an above average bass level so that appealed to me as well, but in this case I was wrong. The emphasized bass clouded the overall sound, and it definitely wasn't as clear as I would like it. The smallest gel casing was too big for my ear and kept popping out, which is really annoying while running on a treadmill. Also I did not like the feeling of it in my ear canal, I'd rather have earbuds like the ones that come with your Ipod that sit in your ear and doesn't leave you feeling like you have an ear infection.

Experimental art prioritizing good songs

I was turned onto Of Montreal from a friend of mine who's way into them. My intrigue led me to purchase this album partly do to the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Take one part melodies from the Beatles, Seals and Crofts, and jarring dash of Bill Bruford, add seven parts meandering electronic backdrop for said melodies, top it all off with an absolute aversion to forming a coherent song, and you have Of Montreal's "The Sunlandic Twins". There's an abundance of creepy low budget circus like synth sounds -- flutes, strings, organs, etc. -- and almost every song has annoying overly dramatic choral like "oh's" throughout. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy then please check this album out. I clearly couldn't get into it.

Where did all the good bands go...?

My Lord, if this is all my generation of music has to offer in terms of the biggest band being Coldplay and Chris Martin being an icon... oh dear, i'm gonna have to tell some pretty big lies to my grandkids when they ask me what music was like when i was younger... this is soooo boring, unadventurous, and absolute PAP!Lyrics like 'Tears streaming down your face... i'll try to fix you' oh please! 'birds flying at the speed of sound... if you could see it then you'd understand' erm, what?For heaven's sake! Look at decent bands for decent music like Arctic Monkeys, the Killers, Kasabian... not Chris Martin's dreary old granny music that is about as interesting as a Walnut Whip.I was completely ripped off when i bought this CD. Liam Galleger is right, Chris Martin is a plant pot.Choose your icons carefully!

Upon receiving this boombox, I was immediately discouraged when few radio stations were able to come dispite the fact that I can pick them up on my handheld walkman. It was downhill after that - the CD player didn't work and it would turn itself off when switching between tuner and CD. When I could get sound, it sounded hollow and void of any true sound. Choose a different radio, or at least be aware of what you're getting.

Movie is great... beware of digital copy promise

The movie is GREAT. My complaint and reason for the one star is that it eems Sony got a bit sneaky with this one. They list a digital copy as part of the set. I paid more for this set expecting to get the digital copy. There is one problem... the digital copy only works with a Sony Playstation 3. It does say this on the back jacket of the disc set. However, when I ordered it off of Amazon, I had no idea until I opened the package. I won't be buying another Sony disc with the promise of a digital copy.

':- )GREAT BOOK!

A ring of endless light is one of my favorite books. I have read it over and over again, because it is so good. It is sad, touching, and shows death in a new perspective. Madeleine L'Engle is a brilliant writer and while reading the book, you feel like Vicki Austin. All the problems she is having as a teenager makes you think. I think that everyone should read this book because it teaches a lot. I love the book!

Nothing like the show

It was one of those movies that you can shut off your mind and just watch. It wasn't bad yet it wasn't good either. Johnny Knoxville seems he should have been Jack Nicholson's goofy son (just in general because of the way he looks)...that's not a good thing. And Jessica Simpson is very pretty but lacking any real personality. I can't help but think talking to her would be boring. Seann William Scott was the bright spot in this lackluster film (the car crashes were the stars).

The "Human" Side of Pregnancy

I purchased this book originally in 1997 for my best friend when she was pregnant. This year she was able to return it to me for my benefit and enjoyment. I LOVED this book. It really puts the "human" side of pregnancy into perspective, and tells you things that "your doctor won't tell you". I have spent many evenings laughing out loud at this wonderful collection of information and helpful hints.

Excellent choice

I bought my unit over 3 years ago when my vcr died. Did some research and liked what I read about this unit.The DMR E85H is not as difficult to learn to use as some reviews state, and it's not as troublesome either. Mine has operated nearly flawlessly the entire 3 years I owned it. Earlier this year, I bought a second dvr,and went with the Phillips DVDR 3575H, since more Panasonic DMR E85s were not available at that time. The Phillips is a fine unit, but I definitely like the Panasonic MUCH better.Last week, the Panasonic went completely dead.... a simple internet search took me to this page: http://vassfamily.net/projects/DMRE85H/dmre85h.html I followed the information on that page, and found the same 3 capacitors leaking on my unit. Easily replaced them myself, and got it back in operation, for less than $10!

Very Disappointing

If you enjoyed the book, you won't want to watch the Disney version of this movie. Characterization was changed (a friendly dwarf became a nasty grump, Prince Caspian and King Peter had jealousy issues); scenes were added that weren't in the book, and basically all of the best parts of the book were omitted. There were battles that never took place. In fact, fighting was the main focus of this movie. Anything that had any hint of spirituality was obliterated from the movie. If Disney wanted to create a fantasy battle movie, they should have just hired someone to write one. Prince Caspian is definitely NOT the Prince Caspian that C.S. Lewis wrote. I will definitely not watch any more Disney adaptations of Narnia.

HDTV Still too expensive for quality it gives

No one can argue that this product displays the best image of any TV available. However, even with the regulations that make local television begin to broadcast in HDTV, this dosn't mean that they will change their studio cameras and other in station equipment to HDTV: only the tower that broadcast that signal. the lack of broadcast stations transmitting a fully capitalized HDTV signal, as well as the tremendous price of these televisions puts them in a constant cycle. TV stations won't change internal equipment until more people buy the sets, and they won't buy them until these rediculous prices come down.

An Indomitable Woman's Spiritual Odyssey

Chna Galland's account of her spiritual odyssey, Longing For Darkness, is absolutely riveting. Her journey from her disappointment in her male-centered Roman Catholic tradition through Buddhism with its strong female Deity,Tara,only to find that feminine spirit inspiring the Black Madonnas of her own faith.By blending the two traditions, Ms.Galland found a spirituality that satisfied her longing for a feminine aspect of God. Her complete honesty about her inner being makes this book unique. Wherever she wanders, she connects with people of deep faith and learns from every tradition. This book is worth your effort.It may start you on your own spiritual journey, as it did for me.

Pressure Washer Alternative

I came close to buying this model at BJ. The price was good and the quality seemed ok. However I found a different one at Lowes for $279 built by Troy-Bilt. It it rated at 2550 PSI, has the Briggs and Stratton engine 6.75 and works really well. It came with 3 tips and runs like a charm. Lowes also carry the exact same model with a Honda engine for $20 more or refurbished 3000 psi washers for $199. For some reason Lowes does not show their pressure washers online so you'll have to make a trip to the store to see what they have.All the models I was interested in have the extra clear hose dip to suck from detergent bottles, but none of the models offered a valve to control the flow of the soap. I found a small plastic valve at Lowes in the plumbing dept that I will be able to insert in the feeding line to solve this problem.Happy cleaning.

I bought because of reviews - mistake

1. The cord is so short that you have to be very close to computer.2. The ear piece is simply awful, especially if you are a woman you need to keep a hand on it to keep it in your ear.3. After a few months use the sound got quieter and quieter than was gone. There is no support of any kind from the company or online.No sound means you end up tossing it out. Sadly a complete waste of money. But I did learn a lesson, always check the negative reviews first.

Well, it made a great cup of coffee for the first couple of weeks...

We were initially very pleased with this item. Its pressure steam system made an aromatic, rich cup of coffee--for the first couple of weeks until a crack developed in the plastic base, allowing the steam to escape. Then it made a real bitter cup of joe. We had to return the base to the authorized Krups repair shop several weeks ago and are still waiting for a replacement!

What a cool album...

Mark Isham has a gift for capturing, even setting, moods. His pieces evoke feelings and moods. Not quite background music but not quite music you actively listen to, his music allows parts of us to arise, giving us pause to reflect, to wander, to dream.This is the soundtrack for a great movie but the soundtrack stands on its own. It is exploratory and adventurous. There are several jazz/blues numbers on it but there is also some experimental music that is difficult to categorize. It is at once entrancing yet challening. That may sound a bit technical but the one word that describes the whole thing is 'cool', as in the jazz kind of cool.There aren't many like this one to find. That's what makes it so good. If you are looking for some creative and different music, this is a great place to wander.

The real Cornwell must have died some time back !!

Oh where has the old Cornwell gone. Man, did I love her books. The cover on this book sounded like the old Cornwell had returned but this is just another in a string of disappointments. This book is horrible - it jumps all over the place - it's more about people that really seem to not get along and don't know what their life is all about. Cornwell tries to mix in some of her old style but it just gets lost. It seems like her attempts are like the movies when they throw in nude scenes - just tryin to give you a little thrill.I'm done buying her books. I miss the old Partricia Cornwell.

Most craft books don't have enough pictures and illustrations for my liking. This one has a lot -- really breaks down the projects into steps that are easy to follow. Nothing is too hard.

Especially good for making gifts.

Not true. Results are subject to your body type

I was excercising and following a protein based + minumum carbs diet. My goal was to reduce fat and cholesterol. I read this book and decided to give it a try.1.- If you are planning to become a vegan this may work for you.2.- Even though carbos have no fat, your body converts carbs into sugar for energy and sugar becomes fat.I gain back 2 pounds in a week! Not only that but I grew back 2.5 inches of belly!!Carbos have been always a problem for me. They surely store in my belly. I was excercising at the time I tried this diet. I was at the gym 3 times a week for at least one hour.This messed up my fitness program big time. I had to started all over again.I know some people that had become skinny with this program but MAKE SURE YOUR BODY TYPE will respond to this program before you start. You may be dissapointed. Check with your doctor.

Paradise Found, Tout Mi Mi

I have seen Marie Christine on broadway. I came home that night wanting to sing the songs, but not knowing the tunes. Now that my friends and I have a copy, we can reflect on how beautiful the songs were. Audra, much more so than Anthony, has truly outdone herself, with this vocally exhausting work of genious. Others who have exhibited excellence in their craft are Mary Testa as the outgoing Magdalena, Vivian Reed as the wise mother of MC, the three prisoners who serve, more or less, as narrators, and Kimberly JaJuan who plays Marie's innocent first soprano maid. A special BRAVO to David Evans who, by some work of magic, musically directed this brilliant piece of art. I personally recommend "There is a Way Back to Paradise" A mix of traditional African beats and brassy creole sounds, Marie Christine made for a good broadway musical, would've made for an excellent concert, and therefore makes for this flawless CD. Well done LaChuisa! Dansez Calinda!

The Power of Being a Good Christian

That should be the title of the book. Positive thinking? Um, very minimal. Oh yeh, did I mention you need to think postively? This book refers alot to the Bible. I don't have any problems with that, but I thought the title is pretty misleading. If you don't convert to Christianity after reading this book, I don't know what will. This book leans more to God for help than positive thinking. OK, maybe postive thinking is thinking about God, but how about people not religious? Again, not the best title. I got fooled by the title, decided to read it anyway, and was very disappointed.

Redford's propaganda effort against Gitmo- You get to pay for it!

This is a thinly disguised classic Hollywood lefty propaganda effort against our country's efforts to protect us from terrorism, and as such, I detest Redford's arrogance in trying to sell us copies at great expense for his overpaid cast and services!The lines are purely hypothetical, and bear no resemblance to reality.

Not only is it a stupid toy... It's dangerous!

I put my son under it at about 6 months. He was born premature but caught right up into the 90th percentile for his height and weight. He was WAY too long to do anything with this toy lying down. He just kicked it and it scooted away from him everytime he did. I was forever moving it closer to him. Also, there are no lights or anything remotely interesting on this toy until the second stage; and like a previous poster said, the lights and sounds are more confusing than anything. But with all that, I still tried to make the toy work for us- until it fell on my son! He was learning to sit up and put ONE arm on the top, and if fell right on him! One of the safety legs had a little piece that snapped right off! Under only 16 lbs of weight! He had a huge bump on his head and everything. I returned it to Babies "r" Us, and they put it back on the shelf! I couldn't believe it!
