1	Great to have you back Eddie!	I really give this disc 4 1/2 stars. I minus one half star for the cringe inducing Billy Bob Thornton narration on the LP's final cut - a cover of John Miles "Music". His voice should have been kept off of this otherwise excellent selection of covers and one original. Clearly one of the years best - just stop it before the final track and spare yourself the Billy Bob misstep. Thanks for a wonderful CD Howard, and look forward to a long long longawaited Flo & Eddie CD.	positive
0	Not very good	It does not hid the sun glare which is why I bought it. It does not stay on very well. Do not buy it.	negative
0	To all disatisfied fans (important)	dear fellow readers I talked to Joanna Campbell herself and disccovered the current series written by Allison Estes is to completely destroyed the horseracing aspect of it and she can't stop it but Joanna Campbell is starting a series called the Ashleigh series beginng in september so if you want to read a story by her be on the look out P.s. for futher updates just ask	negative
1	A touch of professionalism	Okay, I'll get it out of the way first: Yes, I am a huge fan of Alton Brown, and that's mostly why I bought this. But still, it's a first rate product for a food lover to have, and it all comes down to access. The primary seasoning for any food is salt, always has been, always will be, and having it so close and easy to access is good for cooking, especially quick methods like stir-frying where seconds count.It's also airtight, so your salt won't go stale (though you could just give the tiny spoon a miss entirely), and the glass is easy to clean and thick enough that I don't worry about it breaking if I bump it about.If I had a complaint, it's that this gets dirty very quickly, but then on the other hand, it's stainless, so it cleans up twice as quickly.	positive
1	Quiet is an understatement	I run 3 air brushes on this comp. with no problems. Fills and cycles quickly. So much better than any of the little "airbrush" comps. I've used....And it's so quiet! I use it in my studio at night without disturbing my Wife, AWESOME! Happy wife, Happy Life! Good compressor.	positive
0	What happened here? There's not even "Life for free" :(	I was so excited to pick up this CD, after hearing her debut No Angel...after listening I left wondering "What Happened?".I really love Dido's voice, but the material on this album is dreadful - that's right, dreadful!! I listened to White Flag and thought, ehhh...this is ok...then I realized this was her first single from this album and then thought...Uh Oh. My fears came true as I listened on. This disc has no spirit. Listen closely to her vocals throughout the whole CD - it's nearly monotone. Sad to say, I really didn't have any favorites on this disc and will probably let it sit in my CD collection, unlistened to, or sell it.I do have one question though, "Dido, did you do this or did Arista records do this?".	negative
0	Poor Reliability	I purchased the earlier version in this series from Amazon about a year ago, and just recently, with less than 100 play-hours, it became erratic and died. Based on Amazon-listed reviews of this and other Toshiba products and my personal experiences, Toshiba's product and service quality seems to have gone way down in recent years. I cannot recommend this DVD player or the manufacturer.	negative
1	Great product!	I have been using this for about a month. I have healing broken feet & can't stand up in the shower, this makes showering so easy. I use it on the shortest height & it feels stable.	positive
0	A Must Skip for everyone with 2 or more active braincells	Howard Stern, the self-annoited "King Of All Media" is all hype and no substance. His in-your-face style is neither witty nor cutting edge, it's merely exploitive. Anyone can do potty humor and make cheap shots at other's expense, but we call them children and help them grow into the productive, responsible adults we hope they'll become. And frankly this is 1997, the sexual revolution has been over for a long time. The shock value of excessive sexual appetites is passe. We don't we to see your private parts...we don't want to think about your private parts...we don't even want to know you have private parts. Keep it zipped and off the public airways. There's a reason why bedrooms have doors...too bad you don't know the difference between privacy and puritanism.	negative
0	Hey, I'm all into "conspiracy theories" but...	this book goes a little too far. Now I love a good conspiracy theory. For example, yes JFK & MLK were killed by the government, yes the OKC bombing may be a bit more involved than a couple of country bumpkins. Yes, the whole 9-11 story is shady as all get out. Reptiles ruling the world come-on. Is Bush, Cheney et al corrupt and lying to America? Yes. Are they 1st cousins to the iguana? Not even I, a confirmed skeptic, can't go along with that. However, this is probably a decent read for many if you check your brain at the door, much like a good action movie.	negative
1	Long awaited	I've been looking for this cd for a long time. As soon as I found it, and bought it, it was mine in no time...	positive
0	The other review is on target.	This video is a total piece of crap. I have not shown it to my child either. How could Marlo Thomas have been associated with this boring, dated, stupid tape?	negative
1	Incredible value for the money	This book is so much better than the official Adobe classroom book. It doesn't have a CD, but it doesn't need one. The excercises are so clearly written, and the illustrations are so good.The book is very good for anyone switching over from QuarkXpress. Ms. Cohen gives loads of little tips for Quark users.Not only does she teach InDesign, but the book is very funny. The description of locked objects had me laughing out loud. That's quite a feat for a how-to computer book.	positive
1	a comedy about waiting	The movie quality is not great but "Dang" is one of those films you want to like. it's got a positive and timely message about abstinence for teens and college aged, has decent technical ability, and is injected with plenty of good ole' fashion humor. Yet "Dang" is one of those films that will only be acceptable to some, despite the positive biblical message.I know of several other Christian videos that also deal with such topics from various approaches, including: "Searching for True Love", Pamela's Prayer, "Sex, Love and Relationships" and "Only Once". "Dang" stands apart in that it is a comedy and a step in a new direction for Christian film, but I'm afraid the crudeness of the film will be too much for any conservative Youth Pastor or church.It is a short film (18 minutes) comedy geared toward upper teens, college age or adults.	positive
1	first rate, 4.5 stars	Ackroyd has given us a hearty antidote for those drunk on nostalgia for the "good ol' days." Life hasn't really changed that much through the ages and there were no "good ol' days." Writers have always had to struggle with financial, personal and political matters. The works they hand down to us are as much indebted to windows of opportunity, fickle muses and cosmic whimsy as anything else . . . but perhaps that's not so bad. Or perhaps such forces are necessary for brilliance to emerge. Certainly, this bio makes one appreciate everything that is required for good lit to be born from the bog of daily life. I dare you to listen to this book and not go squirreling into your library to re-read the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Cressida.	positive
1	Warning	I used to have a job, a family lots of friends and some fun hobbies. Then I bought this CD. I don't sleep, eat or do anything but listen to this. All I do is sit and listen to this CD. All I want to do is sit and listen to this CD.Please don't help me.	positive
0	unbelievable	this book is the worst spenser book. his own fantasies of love have impaired his ability to write. the relationship between spenser and susan would entitle both of them major psychiatric diagnoses and the action/adventure is of mythical proportion....come on parker, you can do better than this	negative
0	not like the tbs i remember	okay so heres the deal, tell all your friends... amazing absolutely wonderful. where you want to be grew on me after the first few spins. louder now was a huge disapointment, i wasn't expecting the world with this album and i did buy this out of principle but i feel taking back sunday lost what i feel was magical about thier sound. nothing on the album meshes well. and there is only one catchy song. all in all i feel this album is for fans only or newcommers to the sound i almost guarentee if you hold this to the same criteria as the other two tbs albums you are setting yourself up for disapointment	negative
1	7110X Rechrgeable Shaver	The shave is smooth and removes all of my beard growth Daily.I am very satisfied with the product.I am also pleased with it's quietness and the fact that a full recharge only requires 8 hours. My old Norelco required a 24 hour recharge, but it was a very old model for which I bought replacement battereies three times in its lifetime.	positive
1	Great Airbrush Book	This is a well thought out, and very informative how to airbrush book. It covers a lot of information needed for the begginer airbrusher. It has answered a lot of my questions.	positive
1	Been looking for it	been wating forever for this movie to come out. This movie is what made me want to become a movie director.	positive
0	The darnedest thing...	D.k. whether it's antivirus software or what, but getting this print server to print wirelessly just ain't happening. Have plenty of experience (read: years wasted) on this stuff and on a cuople of occasions have gotten things to work right for one of two wirelessly connected laptops, but then couldn't print from two ethernet-connected-to-wireless-router desktops. Vista Ultimate on desktop reports print server software (device home page) not kosher; Vista Ultimate laptop says it can see, but it cannot print.Guh! Good luck yo any who set forth upon these undefined shores!	negative
0	Case was useless	Bought this cd for my daughter. I thought I was getting a new cd when I ordered but when it arrived the case was cracked in multiple places and completely shattered in one corner. Very dissapointing!	negative
1	Solid heavy metal w/ cool riffs	It is Worth picking up a copy of this 80's hard rock/metal band. 2nd tier metal , but solid.	positive
0	Just gets the tight places	I used the steamer in tight and hard to get places or crevices where dirt settles in and is hard to bring out, this was helpful. Anything else didn't make much of a difference. I live in a small space and feel the value of this device can't keep it's space in mine. I'm returning it tomorrow or the next.	negative
1	good replacement screen	Once installed, this screen worked great. It was a little tricky to install (took me about 20 mins with no prior electronics repair experience), and there weren't good instructions that came with it. I had to look up a video online, and ended up having to re-do a part because the screen didn't turn on at first. Still, much better than bringing it to the shop for a pricey repair! Worth it.	positive
0	A Review	I have read several of Marian Keyes books. They were entertaining. However, 'Under the Duvet' makes Webster's Dctionary interesting reading.	negative
1	An Epoch-Making Book	This is an epoch-making book on Pound study, worth reading though published 10 years ago. It covers the poet's career from his London years through the arrest by partisans, from his politico-economic apprenticeship under A.R.Orage through his idiosyncratic intellectual Fascist involvement under Salo regime. The author shows convincingly that apologies by Pound for Italian Fascism was a result not from the flaws in his politico-economic thinking, let alone from his alleged insanity, but from the intellectual coherence in Pound's poetry and prose. The author's descriptive style is well balanced, at once critically scientific and sympathetic. Those who are interested in Pound and/or are taking a course on American poetry should read the book. You will certainly find the best explanation on Social Credit Theory, an ample analysis on _Jefferson and/or Mussolini_, and detailed information on Pound under Salo Republic, none of which you could never be given in any other Pound study.	positive
1	Good Enough for Me	Doesn't feel exactly like a the Microsoft controller. The joysticks are a little to snappy and of course it doesn't sit in the hand the same because it has a different shape.But. Logitech peripherals are always solid and reliable, not like some of the horrible off-brand controllers that I grew up with (Matcatz, Niko, etc.) I wish it felt just like the real deal, but it's a small price to pay for a cheap, cordless controller that is so reliable.Oh and the receiver that you plug into the Xbox is big and ugly, but it's mainly because it's also a port for memory cards, instead of having them on the controller, which I don't like anyway.	positive
1	Time to Say 'I Do'	This album was a total surprise for me. After the disappointment of 'Liberty', I expected much of the same. But no, this album really 'kicks'. Unlike all Duran albums since RIO, which are full of fillers, this album has 11 good tracks and only 2 that are disappointing (Drowning Man & Shotgun). We all know the big hits 'Ordinary World' and 'Come Undone', but this album also contains other gems...The Milton Nascimento collaboration, "Breath After Breath'' is fantastic and as good as anything that the Duran's have ever done....A real good album that stands the test of time and you can pick it up at a bargain price !!	positive
0	More filler than thriller	I started using this book during my sophomore year of college and found it to be a bit rough. While the text does do a good job with proofs of theorems and propositions, it fails to show why calculus is important to a math/science student.In many instances of the text, the material is explained, and the reader is assumed to have comprehended every word without second sight. Then, some of the problems are given and certain stipulations to some arrise and the reader is to assume to have known about it.Bottom line, the book is great for those who already know, but for someone learning calculus the first time, I would suggest Larson.	negative
1	Wonderful Movie!	Wonderful combination of three marvelous actors. Funny, funny story. We have watched it so many times, that we decided to buy it. It is always good for laughs and a lift!	positive
1	I'm no Martha, but...	This is a delightful display of humor, creativity and full-tilt encouragement to love your life and embrace your own style. If you are decorating-challenged (that would be me), or if you are looking for fun and inspiration to complement your talents, or if you want an eye-catching, smile producing coffee table book - Funky Shui is great!	positive
0	Garbage	This cd is one of the worst cd's. Even though i hate that east coast style this cd is horrible. Save your money and get any other cd. I recommend that chingy cd or that murphy's law.	negative
1	Suite Francaise Review	Well written and mind expanding. The story really lets you understand the conflicts occupation brings. Great book.	positive
0	wrong one	It would have been nice if I were shipped the right product. I specifacly ordered the DVD-RAM disc WITH THE HOLDING CASE and instead I was shipped the DVD-RAM WITHOUT THE HOLDING CASE. I could've picked that one up at any Best Buy. And to top that off, I had to keep the disk WITHOUT THE HOLDING CASE because it would have cost ME money to return it. Fortunatly, I was able to find the right disc WITH THE HOLDING CASE at a Ritz Camera shop.	negative
0	21" Owl Decoy	The owl was delivered in timely manner and looks good except one eye is missing. Wasn't loose in the packaging.	negative
0	Very smelly	This had a really horrible smell, kind of like gasoline I washed it twice and aired it out in the hallway.	negative
0	Try This	Nosefrida is much better, I tried all the other aspirators and it's the only one that works.	negative
0	I was left disappointed	Let me start out by saying I am very much a romantic, which biases me a little. So without giving anything away, I'll say that I wasn't very satisfied by the way this story wrapped up. Certain characters were made so likeable throughout the book, and certain relationships so dynamic and passionate, that I was inevitably disappointed when the plot took an abrupt turn toward the end, and cavalierly dismissed those things as fraudulent. The tacked-on happy ending wasn't happy as far as I was concerned, and a much needed confrontation was completely missing at the end. LIke I said, I don't want to give too much away to people who haven't read the book yet, so I apologize if this review is coming off as a bit sketchy. But I will just say, this is not a book I'd recommend for the hopeless romantics out there.	negative
0	HD DVD side doesn't run	The one star is for the DVD, not for the movie, which I obviously thought was good enough to purchase. My first hint that there would be problems was when I read on the packaging that if my HD TV had been purchased before the creation of the DVD, I might have to download new software. How do you download new software to a TV? It isn't hooked up to the internet, even if it does have the capacity to do such a thing. Anyway, I stuck the HD side of this disc in, and it did nothing. It just said "Loading", and never actually loaded anything. So, all of the extra money I spent to get an HD version of this movie was wasted. The standard side played fine, but if I wanted the standard wide-screen DVD experience, I could have rented the 2 disc DVD version for $4.00. The appeal was getting a movie that took advantage of my one-year-old HDTV's abilities. It has turned out to be a disappointing waste of money.	negative
1	browns are mo better	these diapers are made without the use of chlorine, which is a toxic substance and made in a toxic way, so HURRAY for these brown diapers! plus they are soft, absorbing and comfy on baby. go brown!...be green!	positive
1	I've watched this again and again	I had been renting this movie from our local library, but when I was going to rent it for the 3rd or 4th time, I decided to buy it instead. The story is interesting and takes some interesting twists and turns. I love the ending.	positive
1	Light up my life!	This was well packaged and worked right out of the box. I was a bit worried about a lightbulb traveling through the mail or UPS/FED-EX. This light was bright and has been a good safety feature for my backyard.	positive
1	Good	Good storage piece and hasnt fallen apart yet like a lot of these things do. I wish it was cheaper because it is just plastic after all	positive
0	Didn't quite make it for me	The cover's nice enough to catch my eye. The review blurbs comparing this book to a cross between Narnia and Valdemar was enough to convince me to pick it up.Unfortunately, this book lacks the charm of Narnia, and the action of Valdemar. The characters don't develop well at all, the plot was shaky overall and downright unbelievable in places. Of the two big revelations toward the end of the book, one I'd called during the first couple of chapters, the other was improbable enough to be unbelievable.Sorry, but I won't be picking up the rest of the trilogy.	negative
1	Good Workout But.......	Great workout, but don't expect to look like the instructor after months of performing the video!	positive
1	Excellent	I knew logisitic regression was the method to analyze my data but had no idea how to go about it. I am happy I found this booklet. In a few hours I was able to acquire the essence of logisitc regression and feel reasonable confident that I was running my analysis correctly. Really impressive how clear the explanations are. The examples are very useful.	positive
1	the black stallion challenged	I already knew that the black would win........He is a awesome horse! I have all but two of these books! I hope to get the rest of them!	positive
0	Average coverage and Odd smell	This mascara provided average coverage on my lashes that was neither lengthening nor volume enhancing. The smell of the product was off and slightly unpleasant. I doubt I will buy this product again, and may be hesitant to buy this Lamas brand again.	negative
0	Almost gone after one wash.	The dye itself is very nice; it goes on neatly, it doesn't itch, it doesn't smell bad and it made my hair feel great. However, none of that matters when it doesn't yield results. I only used one of the little tubs, so maybe I would have had better luck using more dye. I left it in for about three hours total and my hair turned out a nice light pink. Because I didn't have enough dye, there was still quite a bit of blonde visible but it looked fine. Unfortunately, the first time I washed it, almost all of the pink came out. The top of my hair by the roots and my bangs stayed a very light pink and the rest was a vaguely pink tinted blonde. While it was still a fun look, it wasn't what I was intending or what the product was supposed to do; it's marketed as a dye, not a tint. I'm definitely using a different brand next time.	negative
0	a big disappointment	My boyfriend surprised me with this lubricant for my birthday and it was nothing but a big disappointment. After 10 minutes there was still no warming sensation and I was left sticky and completely turned off. It was basically a waste of time and money.	negative
0	Not an Office substitute	This program is great... if you are operating in an environment full of Mac users or not trading files with anyone at all. When it comes to working with Microsoft files (which dominate the rest of the working and academic world) this package falls flat. Formatting goes missing, documents look funny, and nothing is ever quite the way you expected it to be.I have one word for Office users moving to Mac: DON'T. Shell out the extra cash for Office 2008 for Mac.	negative
0	A lot of hype	I got this thinking it would be nice to mix drinks in and keep them cold longer. I've tried it twice, and both times the blue gel "melted" even before I got a chance to use it. I kept it in the freezer the night before and it spent about an hour in the fridge before mixing the drinks. We used 2 bowls, this one and the one that came with the blender and found that there really was no difference between the two. It's no wonder Oster has discontinued this item.	negative
1	Water glasses add elegance to your table	Lovely, classy glasses that have that fine crystal "ting". We feel special every time we use these. The style goes well with almost any wine glass you set next to it. AND we put them in the dishwasher with no problem.	positive
1	Wonderful Rossini	This is the most stunning album of Rossini overtures ever recorded. All the overtures here are close to being the finest versions, but the tour de force is the overture to William Tell. You may think that you're entirely familiar with that old warhorse, and that there's nothing more for you to find in it. Reiner will disclose wonders that you never imagined: precision of rapid brass chords, crescendos of the strings in the galop, the triangle's tingle, the tripping out of the solo flute, the surprise of a tutti fortissimo held back just the eenth part of second. Listening intently is physically exhausting; the galop goes at least as fast as Toscanini's. The sound is superb--equal to the best of the pre-digital era.	positive
1	AWESOME	This thing is sweet. I do however wish it was easier to get replacement parts (extra mounts for new stuff) you can pretty well only find stuff online for this brand. But overall it is great, why don't all the brands have power strips on them and come with work lights and a vice? Too bad for the Dewalt at Home Depot, I'm glad i went with the Portamate online.	positive
0	Please stop making Crow Films	The first Crow Film, including plot, eventually evolved from Brandon Lee's death. The first film was going to include the Skull Cowboy from the Comic. The Power of the crow could not be stolen from him by hurting the bird. This is a Testimate to how all of the films after the first have failed. This film and 2-3 tried to build on a story line that was never supposed to be and should not have been. As seen by their success. The movie The Crow was amazing, and made so by Brandon's performance along with his supporting cast. I admit some of the scenes filmed after his death were cheesey, and that the actors did not seem, AT ALL, very thrilled to do them. All of that a side. You can't build on the accident that made the first film. They should have starting with Part 2, tried to stick with the original story, and maybe, just maybe, they could have made the wrong this right!	negative
1	these straps worked great	I used two of these straps to tie down my kayaks and I liked them so well I ordered more to secure my other kayak since I didn't have a roof rail crossbar.	positive
0	Much flimsier than I expected...	Rather disappointed in this purchase actually - (bought several that were similar from same mfg) -- quite flimsey plastic and they don't close well (bought a Christmas Tree mold, in addition to this one) -- would not have bought this if I'd seen/felt the quality.	negative
0	Must be designed for an old version of the iPod	I got this unit and the hole for the headphone is in the center top of the iPod in stead of the right side top. The picture shows it but I did not notice it until I got the unit in. You can punch a hole in the right place but it compromises the water tightness of the armband which is part of the reason you would use it. I got it for my son and am not sure he has ever used it.	negative
0	No longer Effective	We have used Frontline on our dogs for 6+ years and never had a single flea. This past month is the exception. We discovered last night that both of our dogs have fleas and the frontline isn't supposed to wear off for another week. They do not have access to water to go swimming and they were only bathed one time less than a week ago. So, I know it isn't from me washing it off of them before it absorbs.It was awesome for many years, but sadly no longer effective. If you do use the product, constantly monitor you pet and home for any signs of fleas.	negative
1	Amazing!!	Myriam has a beautiful voice, she is amazing, wonderful.In a few time she'll be an important singer in Latin America.	positive
0	Give Me a Freakin' Break	I bet you anybody could read this book in a day or two. Obviously Nicole's vocab is lower level and full of catchy, hip phrases. Can we just quit blowing up these rich kids egos and get our own lives. Try reading a real book.	negative
0	Not crazy about it.	Might just be me--but this is one of those CD's that the song they play on the radio is the only decent one. Maybe I'm too old for the rest--but wish I had kept the crystal so I could sell it on Ebay.	negative
1	Pretty solid	Good item to provide extra security for a double door.Be sure to use long screws and install on solid wood.	positive
1	The Lesson of Friendship	The book called Grandma Tortellini makes soup by Sharen Creech taught a good lesson. It taught me to be good to your friends and to listen to them when they talk to you. This book makes me hungry and wants to have some of the soups that Grandma Tortellini makes. If you like valuable lessons and hearing very interesting stories then I really recommend this book. It is a five star book.	positive
0	Bland beyond belief	The urban-dance drama, "How She Moves," springs to life only when its high-energy, talented cast members are kicking up their heels and strutting their stuff for the camera. Otherwise, this stale strive-suffer-and-succeed story is low on energy, low on originality, and low on anything that might make the movie stand out from the dozens of other likeminded films that have come before it.Rutina Wesley has modest appeal as the academically gifted inner-city youngster who finds that the best way for her to raise her private school tuition money is by entering step-dance competitions, but both she and her fellow actors are poorly served by uninspired screenwriting and undistinguished direction. As noted earlier, the movie achieves some spark when the performers are up on stage dancing, but such moments are far too few and sadly fleeting.	negative
0	Not quite the same ole Scooby Doo, and very scary!	My 2+ year old daughter LOVES Scooby Doo (as do I; we have enjoyed several of the "Classics" also purchased from Amazon). However, we BOTH found this Scooby to be very scary ... PLUS the voices of most characters are new.. Shaggy just isn't the same without Casey Kasem at the helm. I say stick to the old Classics.	negative
0	Left us flat-wanting more details.	Even easy readers can contain more information (just a more simple text). This book left us wanting more details. Even my 5 year old who's learning to read hasn't picked this one up for an encore performance.	negative
0	Good except for annoying echo	This phone has a fatal flaw. When you talk even a bit loudly you hear a distorted echo of your own voice. This is so annoying that I had to return this phone. Another negative is that none of three headsets that I tried worked well with this phone. These problems are unfortunate since most other aspects of this product were quite good.	negative
1	just what we needed	I was looking for a large, lightweight backpack, without a lot of bells and whistles for my 8 year old daughter to carry her summer camp things. This is perfect. It's large enough to hold her swim towel, lunch, snack and a change of clothes, with room to spare. There are only a few compartments, which I prefer. Finally, it doesn't weigh a lot, which is nice because who wants the extra weight on top of everything that goes inside of the bag.	positive
1	Reliable and Cheap	This will fit in a shirt pocket, and is accurate and fast reading. The case has a built in "wrench" that allows you to re-calibrate it if it starts to drift. The price on Amazon is about half what it is in retail stores.	positive
1	Love Purses?	As someone who has too many purses and no room to put them, this worked out great. Be carefully hooking it on your door though, my husband almost got a black eye. OOOOPPS!!!	positive
1	ONKYO 6DISC HDMI CD/DVD UP-CONVERTING PLAYER	THIS UNIT IS AWSOME LOOKING, ALITTLE ON THE SLOW ACTING SIDE WHEN SWITCHING BUT I'M NOT RUNNING A STUDIO! PLEASE DONT EXPECT ALOT ON UPSCALING FEATURES ON OLD DVD'S REMEMBER IT IS NOT HDDVD OR BLU-RAY BUT IT DOES PERFORM WELL. SOUND IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE SO CALLED BEST YOUR CHOICE OF OPTIC CABLE,HDMI,COMPONENT OR ANALOG! PLEASE BUY YOUR CABLES FROM MONO PRICE.COM YOU CANT GO WRONG AWSOME FOR ANYTHING YOU NEED A/V AND MOUNTING HARDWARE AT PRICES YOU CANT BEAT AND IT'S QUALITY STUFF.. THANX ENJOY HOPE I HELPED	positive
0	Doesn't tighten enough	I bought the Mighty Tite seat belt tightener after the one that comes with the carseat was left in granny's van. I have a '98 Altima and the seat is in the middle. First of all the tightener doesn't tighten the seatbelt enough. You can still wiggle the base to the left and right about 1 1/2" each way. Secondly, the tightener is as tight as it will go and the base is like the Leaning Tower of Piza. When looking in the front of the car the carseat leans severely to the side where the tightener is located. Plus, the tightener has created a huge space where the seatbelt comes out of the seat. Wouldn't recommend this one.	negative
0	RAP sucks.	period. Go buy a metal album, not KOrn Or Linkin Park either thats not metal. Kalmah, Stratovarius, Children Of Bodom, Inflames, or Soilwork. That is real music. Swedish death metal. Nothing but worthless ghetto crap.	negative
1	Best Cop Movie Ever	Totally the best action movie I have ever seen! This movie has everything. Some of the best lines I have ever heard were in this film. It is funny and action packed as well. It has an excellent plot, and great casting, I don't think that the director could have done a better job. I loved it!!!	positive
0	Wrong Track List -- Not UK Release!	This release and the track list that Amazon provides is incorrect. I ordered this set for the UNKLE/Moby remix -- which is exclusive to this set, yet is only available on the UK release of this set. For some reason the remix was omitted from the US release.Thanks for the heads up, Amazon!	negative
1	Nobody's Child	I had been looking for the song "Nobody's Child" for bout a yer and couldn't find it.

0	Journey	This book was ok but the title is Journey to Jo'burg but there was only about 2 chapters on the journey. And the auther misspelled Tiro, she spelled it Tira! The problem of the story is in the begining when we hardly even know who Dineo is. Only read this book whe you have to or if you like black history.	negative
0	fire station falls apart!	While this fire station IS difficult to put together, when my little guy saw it, he loved it! However, the fire truck pieces fell off within an hour of first being played with. Other pieces of the fire station also began falling off. While this is a great idea, it seems to be very cheaply put together. For $100, I would definitely not buy this toy again!	negative
1	Absolutely fantastic	I'm not usually a huge fan of war stories, but this one was an intriguing read. Turtledove's character expositions were the biggest draw for me; my usual reluctance to enjoy details of guns and tactics was surmountable because I honestly cared about the soldiers. I can hardly wait to dive into more of these books!	positive

0	Much too small for 100' cord!	The manufacturer's claim that this extension cord reel has the capacity to hold a 150 feet of cord is highly exaggerated. While it might work just fine for 150 feet of very light-weight extension cord, it's reel capacity is not adequate for even a 100 foot heavy-duty outdoor extension cord. I bought it to use with the Coleman 100 foot, 12 gauge/3 wire, low-temp outdoor extension cord. The Designers Edge reel was completely full by the time I had wound 80 feet of the cord onto it. I'm not happy with the product but I'm happy that Amazon makes it easy to return items that are unsatisfactory.	negative

1	A great mystery!!!!	I have been a fan of Holmes most of my life, though I have found certain aspects of his personality disappointing.(ie: misogynist, drug addict) But finally! A counterpart worthy of Holme's heart as well as his mind. King portrays Holmes as Doyle never did: human. One of the comments made in another review was that Holmes could only love a woman he'd created. Thing is: he _didn't_ create her! Russell already had the intelligence, the intellect, and the talent before she ever met Holmes. He merely taught her how to use it for detective work. I also don't really understand why readers were so shocked at the ending. It is quite obviously- and a little disapointingly foreshadowed in the beginning when Holmes demands to know if Mary has decided to propose to him yet. Frankly, I cheered at the sight of the greatest misogynist of all time falling hard for his best friend! A great read, and I highly recommend the whole series!!!	positive

0	appalling service from saitek. Take responsibility for your faults!	When the machine arrived it refused to record any moves on row 3.

The box doenst even tell you where to return your defective product for a warranty claim.6 unanswered emails later, 3 calls placed on hold - not a single response.I even tried Saitek Europe. They responded within the day - saying that they didn't have responsibility for US sales. That I understand. However, why Europe is able to respond and the USA company is not is beyond belief.If you are able to buy this from a shop and can make sure it works, then perhaps its a good buy. If you buy it online you may get one that doesnt work and no one will ever respond to your claims. This is just ridiculous.ZERO stars	negative
0	Music from "Two Weeks Notice"	CDNOW, This is not the music that I remember from the movie.

I have the DVD and I had to play it a second time just for the music. It is a great picture.	negative
0	what happened to ska?	This CD's first single "Hey Baby" is obnoxious to say the least, although because I am such a loyal fan I ignored the warning signs and bought it anyway, I should have known better. This CD is one of the worst reggae-pop mixes I have ever heard. I know that the ska-punk scene is forever changing and for that reason I supported the change in style found on their last CD. After "Return to Saturn" I figured No Doubt was maturing, but this set back totally killed my support for them. Honestly the vocals are so-so and Gwen's signature voice does a decent job of carrying a tune, but the lyrics in songs like "Hella-Good" make me want to vomit and for that reason alone I would suggest people stay away from this calamity.	negative
1	Outstanding Travel Tool for Even Young Toddlers	Although Shea by Air is intended for children two years and up, we used the DVD to prepare our 16-month old grandson for a trip from Minneapolis to Kauai, Hawaii involving many hours and three plane changes. He intently focused on Shea and preparations for the trip, what would happen at the airport and on the plane. After viewing and talking about Shea both before and during the flight, this very active toddler, much to oursurprise and delight, turned out to be a "very good little traveler." I'm convinced preparation using this DVD was the key to flights that were enjoyable for him, his parents and grandparents and all other passengers.	positive

Great to have you back Eddie!

I really give this disc 4 1/2 stars. I minus one half star for the cringe inducing Billy Bob Thornton narration on the LP's final cut - a cover of John Miles "Music". His voice should have been kept off of this otherwise excellent selection of covers and one original. Clearly one of the years best - just stop it before the final track and spare yourself the Billy Bob misstep. Thanks for a wonderful CD Howard, and look forward to a long long longawaited Flo & Eddie CD.

A touch of professionalism

Okay, I'll get it out of the way first: Yes, I am a huge fan of Alton Brown, and that's mostly why I bought this. But still, it's a first rate product for a food lover to have, and it all comes down to access. The primary seasoning for any food is salt, always has been, always will be, and having it so close and easy to access is good for cooking, especially quick methods like stir-frying where seconds count.It's also airtight, so your salt won't go stale (though you could just give the tiny spoon a miss entirely), and the glass is easy to clean and thick enough that I don't worry about it breaking if I bump it about.If I had a complaint, it's that this gets dirty very quickly, but then on the other hand, it's stainless, so it cleans up twice as quickly.

What happened here? There's not even "Life for free" :(

I was so excited to pick up this CD, after hearing her debut No Angel...after listening I left wondering "What Happened?".I really love Dido's voice, but the material on this album is dreadful - that's right, dreadful!! I listened to White Flag and thought, ehhh...this is ok...then I realized this was her first single from this album and then thought...Uh Oh. My fears came true as I listened on. This disc has no spirit. Listen closely to her vocals throughout the whole CD - it's nearly monotone. Sad to say, I really didn't have any favorites on this disc and will probably let it sit in my CD collection, unlistened to, or sell it.I do have one question though, "Dido, did you do this or did Arista records do this?".

Poor Reliability

I purchased the earlier version in this series from Amazon about a year ago, and just recently, with less than 100 play-hours, it became erratic and died. Based on Amazon-listed reviews of this and other Toshiba products and my personal experiences, Toshiba's product and service quality seems to have gone way down in recent years. I cannot recommend this DVD player or the manufacturer.

A Must Skip for everyone with 2 or more active braincells

Howard Stern, the self-annoited "King Of All Media" is all hype and no substance. His in-your-face style is neither witty nor cutting edge, it's merely exploitive. Anyone can do potty humor and make cheap shots at other's expense, but we call them children and help them grow into the productive, responsible adults we hope they'll become. And frankly this is 1997, the sexual revolution has been over for a long time. The shock value of excessive sexual appetites is passe. We don't we to see your private parts...we don't want to think about your private parts...we don't even want to know you have private parts. Keep it zipped and off the public airways. There's a reason why bedrooms have doors...too bad you don't know the difference between privacy and puritanism.

Hey, I'm all into "conspiracy theories" but...

this book goes a little too far. Now I love a good conspiracy theory. For example, yes JFK & MLK were killed by the government, yes the OKC bombing may be a bit more involved than a couple of country bumpkins. Yes, the whole 9-11 story is shady as all get out. Reptiles ruling the world come-on. Is Bush, Cheney et al corrupt and lying to America? Yes. Are they 1st cousins to the iguana? Not even I, a confirmed skeptic, can't go along with that. However, this is probably a decent read for many if you check your brain at the door, much like a good action movie.

Ms. Cohen gives loads of little tips for Quark users.Not only does she teach InDesign, but the book is very funny. The description of locked objects had me laughing out loud.

a comedy about waiting

The movie quality is not great but "Dang" is one of those films you want to like. it's got a positive and timely message about abstinence for teens and college aged, has decent technical ability, and is injected with plenty of good ole' fashion humor. Yet "Dang" is one of those films that will only be acceptable to some, despite the positive biblical message.I know of several other Christian videos that also deal with such topics from various approaches, including: "Searching for True Love", Pamela's Prayer, "Sex, Love and Relationships" and "Only Once". "Dang" stands apart in that it is a comedy and a step in a new direction for Christian film, but I'm afraid the crudeness of the film will be too much for any conservative Youth Pastor or church.It is a short film (18 minutes) comedy geared toward upper teens, college age or adults.

first rate, 4.5 stars

Ackroyd has given us a hearty antidote for those drunk on nostalgia for the "good ol' days." Life hasn't really changed that much through the ages and there were no "good ol' days." Writers have always had to struggle with financial, personal and political matters. The works they hand down to us are as much indebted to windows of opportunity, fickle muses and cosmic whimsy as anything else . . . but perhaps that's not so bad. Or perhaps such forces are necessary for brilliance to emerge. Certainly, this bio makes one appreciate everything that is required for good lit to be born from the bog of daily life. I dare you to listen to this book and not go squirreling into your library to re-read the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Cressida.

An Epoch-Making Book

This is an epoch-making book on Pound study, worth reading though published 10 years ago. It covers the poet's career from his London years through the arrest by partisans, from his politico-economic apprenticeship under A.R.Orage through his idiosyncratic intellectual Fascist involvement under Salo regime. The author shows convincingly that apologies by Pound for Italian Fascism was a result not from the flaws in his politico-economic thinking, let alone from his alleged insanity, but from the intellectual coherence in Pound's poetry and prose. The author's descriptive style is well balanced, at once critically scientific and sympathetic. Those who are interested in Pound and/or are taking a course on American poetry should read the book. You will certainly find the best explanation on Social Credit Theory, an ample analysis on _Jefferson and/or Mussolini_, and detailed information on Pound under Salo Republic, none of which you could never be given in any other Pound study.

Doesn't feel exactly like a the Microsoft controller. The joysticks are a little to snappy and of course it doesn't sit in the hand the same because it has a different shape.But. Logitech peripherals are always solid and reliable, not like some of the horrible off-brand controllers that I grew up with (Matcatz, Niko, etc.) I wish it felt just like the real deal, but it's a small price to pay for a cheap, cordless controller that is so reliable.Oh and the receiver that you plug into the Xbox is big and ugly, but it's mainly because it's also a port for memory cards, instead of having them on the controller, which I don't like anyway.

Time to Say 'I Do'

This album was a total surprise for me. After the disappointment of 'Liberty', I expected much of the same. But no, this album really 'kicks'. Unlike all Duran albums since RIO, which are full of fillers, this album has 11 good tracks and only 2 that are disappointing (Drowning Man & Shotgun). We all know the big hits 'Ordinary World' and 'Come Undone', but this album also contains other gems...The Milton Nascimento collaboration, "Breath After Breath'' is fantastic and as good as anything that the Duran's have ever done....A real good album that stands the test of time and you can pick it up at a bargain price !!

More filler than thriller

I started using this book during my sophomore year of college and found it to be a bit rough. While the text does do a good job with proofs of theorems and propositions, it fails to show why calculus is important to a math/science student.In many instances of the text, the material is explained, and the reader is assumed to have comprehended every word without second sight. Then, some of the problems are given and certain stipulations to some arrise and the reader is to assume to have known about it.Bottom line, the book is great for those who already know, but for someone learning calculus the first time, I would suggest Larson.

I was left disappointed

Let me start out by saying I am very much a romantic, which biases me a little. So without giving anything away, I'll say that I wasn't very satisfied by the way this story wrapped up. Certain characters were made so likeable throughout the book, and certain relationships so dynamic and passionate, that I was inevitably disappointed when the plot took an abrupt turn toward the end, and cavalierly dismissed those things as fraudulent. The tacked-on happy ending wasn't happy as far as I was concerned, and a much needed confrontation was completely missing at the end. LIke I said, I don't want to give too much away to people who haven't read the book yet, so I apologize if this review is coming off as a bit sketchy. But I will just say, this is not a book I'd recommend for the hopeless romantics out there.

HD DVD side doesn't run

The one star is for the DVD, not for the movie, which I obviously thought was good enough to purchase. My first hint that there would be problems was when I read on the packaging that if my HD TV had been purchased before the creation of the DVD, I might have to download new software. How do you download new software to a TV? It isn't hooked up to the internet, even if it does have the capacity to do such a thing. Anyway, I stuck the HD side of this disc in, and it did nothing. It just said "Loading", and never actually loaded anything. So, all of the extra money I spent to get an HD version of this movie was wasted. The standard side played fine, but if I wanted the standard wide-screen DVD experience, I could have rented the 2 disc DVD version for $4.00. The appeal was getting a movie that took advantage of my one-year-old HDTV's abilities. It has turned out to be a disappointing waste of money.

Didn't quite make it for me

The cover's nice enough to catch my eye. The review blurbs comparing this book to a cross between Narnia and Valdemar was enough to convince me to pick it up.Unfortunately, this book lacks the charm of Narnia, and the action of Valdemar. The characters don't develop well at all, the plot was shaky overall and downright unbelievable in places. Of the two big revelations toward the end of the book, one I'd called during the first couple of chapters, the other was improbable enough to be unbelievable.Sorry, but I won't be picking up the rest of the trilogy.

Almost gone after one wash.

The dye itself is very nice; it goes on neatly, it doesn't itch, it doesn't smell bad and it made my hair feel great. However, none of that matters when it doesn't yield results. I only used one of the little tubs, so maybe I would have had better luck using more dye. I left it in for about three hours total and my hair turned out a nice light pink. Because I didn't have enough dye, there was still quite a bit of blonde visible but it looked fine. Unfortunately, the first time I washed it, almost all of the pink came out. The top of my hair by the roots and my bangs stayed a very light pink and the rest was a vaguely pink tinted blonde. While it was still a fun look, it wasn't what I was intending or what the product was supposed to do; it's marketed as a dye, not a tint. I'm definitely using a different brand next time.

I got this thinking it would be nice to mix drinks in and keep them cold longer. I've tried it twice, and both times the blue gel "melted" even before I got a chance to use it. I kept it in the freezer the night before and it spent about an hour in the fridge before mixing the drinks. We used 2 bowls, this one and the one that came with the blender and found that there really was no difference between the two. It's no wonder Oster has discontinued this item.

Wonderful Rossini

This is the most stunning album of Rossini overtures ever recorded. All the overtures here are close to being the finest versions, but the tour de force is the overture to William Tell. You may think that you're entirely familiar with that old warhorse, and that there's nothing more for you to find in it. Reiner will disclose wonders that you never imagined: precision of rapid brass chords, crescendos of the strings in the galop, the triangle's tingle, the tripping out of the solo flute, the surprise of a tutti fortissimo held back just the eenth part of second. Listening intently is physically exhausting; the galop goes at least as fast as Toscanini's. The sound is superb--equal to the best of the pre-digital era.

But overall it is great, why don't all the brands have power strips on them and come with work lights and a vice? Too bad for the Dewalt at Home Depot, I'm glad i went with the Portamate online.

Please stop making Crow Films

The first Crow Film, including plot, eventually evolved from Brandon Lee's death. The first film was going to include the Skull Cowboy from the Comic. The Power of the crow could not be stolen from him by hurting the bird. This is a Testimate to how all of the films after the first have failed. This film and 2-3 tried to build on a story line that was never supposed to be and should not have been. As seen by their success. The movie The Crow was amazing, and made so by Brandon's performance along with his supporting cast. I admit some of the scenes filmed after his death were cheesey, and that the actors did not seem, AT ALL, very thrilled to do them. All of that a side. You can't build on the accident that made the first film. They should have starting with Part 2, tried to stick with the original story, and maybe, just maybe, they could have made the wrong this right!

these straps worked great

I used two of these straps to tie down my kayaks and I liked them so well I ordered more to secure my other kayak since I didn't have a roof rail crossbar.

Much flimsier than I expected...

Rather disappointed in this purchase actually - (bought several that were similar from same mfg) -- quite flimsey plastic and they don't close well (bought a Christmas Tree mold, in addition to this one) -- would not have bought this if I'd seen/felt the quality.

Must be designed for an old version of the iPod

I got this unit and the hole for the headphone is in the center top of the iPod in stead of the right side top. The picture shows it but I did not notice it until I got the unit in. You can punch a hole in the right place but it compromises the water tightness of the armband which is part of the reason you would use it. I got it for my son and am not sure he has ever used it.

No longer Effective

We have used Frontline on our dogs for 6+ years and never had a single flea. This past month is the exception. We discovered last night that both of our dogs have fleas and the frontline isn't supposed to wear off for another week. They do not have access to water to go swimming and they were only bathed one time less than a week ago. So, I know it isn't from me washing it off of them before it absorbs.It was awesome for many years, but sadly no longer effective. If you do use the product, constantly monitor you pet and home for any signs of fleas.

Not crazy about it.

Might just be me--but this is one of those CD's that the song they play on the radio is the only decent one. Maybe I'm too old for the rest--but wish I had kept the crystal so I could sell it on Ebay.

The Lesson of Friendship

The book called Grandma Tortellini makes soup by Sharen Creech taught a good lesson. It taught me to be good to your friends and to listen to them when they talk to you. This book makes me hungry and wants to have some of the soups that Grandma Tortellini makes. If you like valuable lessons and hearing very interesting stories then I really recommend this book. It is a five star book.

Bland beyond belief

The urban-dance drama, "How She Moves," springs to life only when its high-energy, talented cast members are kicking up their heels and strutting their stuff for the camera. Otherwise, this stale strive-suffer-and-succeed story is low on energy, low on originality, and low on anything that might make the movie stand out from the dozens of other likeminded films that have come before it.Rutina Wesley has modest appeal as the academically gifted inner-city youngster who finds that the best way for her to raise her private school tuition money is by entering step-dance competitions, but both she and her fellow actors are poorly served by uninspired screenwriting and undistinguished direction. As noted earlier, the movie achieves some spark when the performers are up on stage dancing, but such moments are far too few and sadly fleeting.

Not quite the same ole Scooby Doo, and very scary!

My 2+ year old daughter LOVES Scooby Doo (as do I; we have enjoyed several of the "Classics" also purchased from Amazon). However, we BOTH found *this* Scooby to be very scary ... PLUS the voices of most characters are *new*.. Shaggy just isn't the same without Casey Kasem at the helm. I say stick to the old Classics.

Good except for annoying echo

This phone has a fatal flaw. When you talk even a bit loudly you hear a distorted echo of your own voice. This is so annoying that I had to return this phone. Another negative is that none of three headsets that I tried worked well with this phone. These problems are unfortunate since most other aspects of this product were quite good.

just what we needed

I was looking for a large, lightweight backpack, without a lot of bells and whistles for my 8 year old daughter to carry her summer camp things. This is perfect. It's large enough to hold her swim towel, lunch, snack and a change of clothes, with room to spare. There are only a few compartments, which I prefer. Finally, it doesn't weigh a lot, which is nice because who wants the extra weight on top of everything that goes inside of the bag.

Reliable and Cheap

This will fit in a shirt pocket, and is accurate and fast reading. The case has a built in "wrench" that allows you to re-calibrate it if it starts to drift. The price on Amazon is about half what it is in retail stores.

Doesn't tighten enough

I bought the Mighty Tite seat belt tightener after the one that comes with the carseat was left in granny's van. I have a '98 Altima and the seat is in the middle. First of all the tightener doesn't tighten the seatbelt enough. You can still wiggle the base to the left and right about 1 1/2" each way. Secondly, the tightener is as tight as it will go and the base is like the Leaning Tower of Piza. When looking in the front of the car the carseat leans severely to the side where the tightener is located. Plus, the tightener has created a huge space where the seatbelt comes out of the seat. Wouldn't recommend this one.

Best Cop Movie Ever

Totally the best action movie I have ever seen! This movie has everything. Some of the best lines I have ever heard were in this film. It is funny and action packed as well. It has an excellent plot, and great casting, I don't think that the director could have done a better job. I loved it!!!

Wrong Track List -- Not UK Release!

This release and the track list that Amazon provides is incorrect. I ordered this set for the UNKLE/Moby remix -- which is exclusive to this set, yet is only available on the UK release of this set. For some reason the remix was omitted from the US release.Thanks for the heads up, Amazon!

Journey

This book was ok but the title is Journey to Jo'burg but there was only about 2 chapters on the journey. And the auther misspelled Tiro, she spelled it Tira! The problem of the story is in the begining when we hardly even know who Dineo is. Only read this book whe you have to or if you like black history.

fire station falls apart!

While this fire station IS difficult to put together, when my little guy saw it, he loved it! However, the fire truck pieces fell off within an hour of first being played with. Other pieces of the fire station also began falling off. While this is a great idea, it seems to be very cheaply put together. For $100, I would definitely not buy this toy again!

Absolutely fantastic

I'm not usually a huge fan of war stories, but this one was an intriguing read. Turtledove's character expositions were the biggest draw for me; my usual reluctance to enjoy details of guns and tactics was surmountable because I honestly cared about the soldiers. I can hardly wait to dive into more of these books!

Much too small for 100' cord!

The manufacturer's claim that this extension cord reel has the capacity to hold a 150 feet of cord is highly exaggerated. While it might work just fine for 150 feet of very light-weight extension cord, it's reel capacity is not adequate for even a 100 foot heavy-duty outdoor extension cord. I bought it to use with the Coleman 100 foot, 12 gauge/3 wire, low-temp outdoor extension cord. The Designers Edge reel was completely full by the time I had wound 80 feet of the cord onto it. I'm not happy with the product but I'm happy that Amazon makes it easy to return items that are unsatisfactory.

A great mystery!!!!

I have been a fan of Holmes most of my life, though I have found certain aspects of his personality disappointing.(ie: misogynist, drug addict) But finally! A counterpart worthy of Holme's heart as well as his mind. King portrays Holmes as Doyle never did: human. One of the comments made in another review was that Holmes could only love a woman he'd created. Thing is: he _didn't_ create her! Russell already had the intelligence, the intellect, and the talent before she ever met Holmes. He merely taught her how to use it for detective work. I also don't really understand why readers were so shocked at the ending. It is quite obviously- and a little disapointingly foreshadowed in the beginning when Holmes demands to know if Mary has decided to propose to him yet. Frankly, I cheered at the sight of the greatest misogynist of all time falling hard for his best friend! A great read, and I highly recommend the whole series!!!

This album is truly bad. The arrangements are silly, and the recordings are overproduced. Liz' voice quavers as if she's got the worst stage fright of her life. I was so looking forward to the richness of tone she exhibits in the Sibling Revelry and Boom albums. But not to be found here.

TOTAL waste of money!!

This looked so adorable and perfect, but it must have been tested by Paul Bunyun because no normal baby could exert the amount of pressure needed to make this toy function. When pushed, the wheels simply skid motionless along the floor and no "popcorn" is popped. Even my older kids found it depressing and nobody played with it. It's sitting upstairs in my attic. Even the mice find it boring.

awful

Not the same Jill Marie Landis of Rose and Sunflower....awful. If you must read it...pick it up from the library. The plot is plodding...with charcters only seeming to act to advance the plot. The romance is uninspiring...and dry. The only redeeming quality of this book is the little tidbits of information you pick up on Hawaiin culture.

Sent a Broken helmet in a box with label "Damaged"

We received the package today, and it turned out to be a used piece of trash. The box inside the packaging had a label saying "Damaged" on it. The helmet itself had been used and had a 2-inches long crack on it. They had sent us a broken product that had been clearly marked as broken. This is unacceptable and highly degrading.

came with a scratch!

Really Upset!!! Just recieved this guitar today, but it didn't make me happy.After waiting a week for the guitar to be delivered, I was super excited to open the package. After I opened it, i saw a scratch down the middle of the white part of the guitar (i don't know what it's called, bought this guitar as a beginner). Also the guitar strap smells really bad, maybe from packaging. Anyways, I say don't buy THIS guitar. I don't know maybe it was just my luck, but if i were you i wouldn't take the risk.

appalling service from saitek. Take responsibility for your faults!

When the machine arrived it refused to record any moves on row 3. No matter what I tried, it simply refused to function.I am happy to accept that there are manufacturing faults - it happens. So I contacted Saitek for a warranty claim. The box doenst even tell you where to return your defective product for a warranty claim.6 unanswered emails later, 3 calls placed on hold - not a single response.I even tried Saitek Europe. They responded within the day - saying that they didn't have responsibility for US sales. That I understand. However, why Europe is able to respond and the USA company is not is beyond belief.If you are able to buy this from a shop and can make sure it works, then perhaps its a good buy. If you buy it online you may get one that doesnt work and no one will ever respond to your claims. This is just ridiculous.ZERO stars

Music from "Two Weeks Notice"

CDNOW, This is not the music that I remember from the movie. I recall "Baby, You've Got What It Takes" as the opening sounds and the great anthem for those that try to stop so-called progress "They Paved Over Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot". I have the DVD and I had to play it a second time just for the music. It is a great picture.

what happened to ska?

This CD's first single "Hey Baby" is obnoxious to say the least, although because I am such a loyal fan I ignored the warning signs and bought it anyway, I should have known better. This CD is one of the worst reggae-pop mixes I have ever heard. I know that the ska-punk scene is forever changing and for that reason I supported the change in style found on their last CD. After "Return to Saturn" I figured No Doubt was maturing, but this set back totally killed my support for them. Honestly the vocals are so-so and Gwen's signature voice does a decent job of carrying a tune, but the lyrics in songs like "Hella-Good" make me want to vomit and for that reason alone I would suggest people stay away from this calamity.

Outstanding Travel Tool for Even Young Toddlers

Although Shea by Air is intended for children two years and up, we used the DVD to prepare our 16-month old grandson for a trip from Minneapolis to Kauai, Hawaii involving many hours and three plane changes. He intently focused on Shea and preparations for the trip, what would happen at the airport and on the plane. After viewing and talking about Shea both before and during the flight, this very active toddler, much to oursurprise and delight, turned out to be a "very good little traveler." I'm convinced preparation using this DVD was the key to flights that were enjoyable for him, his parents and grandparents and all other passengers.
