0	You get what you pay for... MOSTLY!	This little meter is disappointing... I guess I was expecting something a little more "finished".Yeah, it works, assuming you have experience using multi-meters. The "operating instructions" are at best minimal; and that's being kind. If you don't have some knowledge of how to use these kinds of meters, you'd be better trying something else. Don't want to beat this to death. But, I was surprised as to how really poor the documentation was.The meter seemed to be accurate enough for the average homeowner tasks. Compared to a Fluke or a Sperry, it's pretty much third class. I wouldn't recommend it. Look around for something a bit more expensive and I'm betting quite a bit better.A one word summary... "Cheesy"	negative
1	USB Flash Drive	I am certain this USB flash drive functions properly but I haven't had a chance to use it. It is in my laptop bag ready to be used.	positive
1	Pacific Heights	It's an older film,but has great actors. It's a must see for all landlords especially ones with a vision of real estate investment. It's unfortunate that there are renters out there that can destroy a person's life just by someone believing in them!	positive
1	Be careful of "Family Plans"	This film just goes to show that sometimes your family can be your worst enemy. Ms. Carter was an excellent "Queen" Jane and the actress who played "Bloody" Mary was outstanding! I am so glad that I was not around in Tudor England!	positive
0	I'm sick to death of all the semantic insanity...	So it sits there on my shelf, having defeated me twice. OK, maybe I'm a lazy bum, but I think I'm approaching the point where if another confused milquetoast hack tells me I need to read this book because TP is the best writer of the 20th century blah blah blah (a disgustingly de minimus claim) I'm going to go nuts.	negative
1	AMAZING, BEST BOOK I EVER READ	When getting this book in the mail with a bunch of other books, I picked this one up and thought, "Why did my mother buy me this boring and long book?" One day I picked it up and started to read it, and I couldn't put it down. It was probably the best book I ever read! Now my friend has borrowed it from me. I can't wait to read the second: "Rebel Angels!"	positive
0	Blondes Be Ware!	It doesn't matter if this will make my hair look great or not. Why? Because I spend a lot of money for amazing highlights. I've got platinum blonde all the way to dirty blonde in my hair. This product turned my hair brassy orange. No Joke. So what now, Is this going to take 30 days to get my blonde back? It looks like someone poured Peroxide on my head. This is just great! use this if ur a brunette.	negative
1	Seven Blessings	I really enjoyed this book. After just recently losing my husband and mother, this book seemed like a balm to my soul. It was an escape into a culture that takes the L-rd and his commandments seriously. It made me want to move to Jerusalem and be a part of it all, however unlikely, since I am not Jewish. How wonderful to read a book about love and marriage without all the worldliness and sinfulness that usually goes along with most stories with these themes. Thank you, Ruchama, for an inspiring and uplifting read.	positive
0	not that good	Unless you already know the stuff, this book wont help out much. If you already do know the basics, there are better ways to prepare for the CCNA.	negative
0	skin broke out	I am sensitive to some sunscreens and moisturizers so this may not be a problem with most people. I had recently started using the Neutragena Wave on an occasional basis and felt my skin was a little dry and needed a moisturizer. Before putting this stuff on, I had noticed the skin on my forehead was looking better than it had in a long time - not a hint of a blemish. After one use, the Revitalift caused my forehead to break out like a teenager's. I will never use this on my face again and regret the purchase. I will use it on my neck and upper chest where I never break out so it doesn't go to waste. If you don't ever break out, it might be a great product but not for me.	negative
0	Don't waste your money..	I just want to say that i did not buy this book or even look at it thankfully.I keep seeing Kevin Trudeaus informercials on TV, and was curious to know if his book actually says anything about actual cures well after reading all the reviews, its obcvious it doesn't.As usual its another scam just to get peoples money...well shame on Mr Trudeau.But thank you too all of you, now i won't waste my money on something that doesn't say anything.	negative
0	Literary noodling for people snowed in for the month	Foucault's Pendulum is a long and ponderous expensive book about a publisher of long and ponderous expensive books. My ex-husband and I read it aloud to each other when it first came out, thinking it might be a painless way to soak up some background information on secret societies. But Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a popular non-fiction book on the same theme, was much more readable.As for the byzantine plot and characterization.... Fifteen years later, all I can remember is the opening scene, where we learn that a writer has disappeared, leaving behind his personal computer, and our protagonist is trying to guess the password.This book appears to be an elaborate conceptual joke aimed at people who have w-a-y too much time on their hands and want to transcend the need for entertainment.	negative
0	Boring	I am 38 years old and this CD bores me to tears. I really didn't hear many of these songs growing up. I guess from the reviews some people really like it, but none of the singers are from my era.	negative
1	love it only because it came with my tool set	I was so sad to have this stolen from me because to buy it alone seems a waste. It is not that sturdy but is seemed almost as bright as a car headlight. Loved it when the power went out. Sigh! Don't know if I would pay 40 or so bucks for it though. May be if I can find it for more around 25, I think that is a fair price for the chincy make.	positive
1	Bravo once more...	Again the author produces a indepth, compleat and powerfully informative book which is invaluable to the magickal practitioner. Regardless of pathe or tradition everyone can gain from this book. It is not for the beginner nor is it a magickal handbook but instead a spiritual guide for the serious practitioner. If you haven't put this book on your shelf, your collection is incompleat and you are surely missing something! <B>BUY IT!</B>	positive
0	4 Monkeys	If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, would they eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare? Who knows?What I do know is that "Heart of Darkness" could be the result of 4 monkeys doing about 2 hours of work. To read the book is a chore.My daughter had to read this book as part of a summer assignment for English. I, being one to read classics, looked forward to reading another good book.Conrad's rambling tale is difficult to follow, but even more, BORING to follow.I can more easily read a book on quantum physics. To require someone to read Conrad is more like punishment than education.	negative
0	Where are the Mental Restraints	This guy, Walcott, is as slimy as the liberals he trys to hide. He attempts to do this by by utilizing the "Big Lie"...Like Eric Alterman(Alfred E. Newman) he tells us that the media is cow-towing to the conservatives. All nonsense and perfume. This man viciously attacts Rush Limbaugh and frankly couldn't hold Rush's jock in any kind of a battle of wits. Save your money, just another liberal windbag sucking up air which should be left for someone vital.	negative
1	fantastic.	Best book ever! I can't believe how amazing this was! It was also the first book I read on my kindle and I loved reading it on there ! :)	positive
0	Why Couldn't She Create Publisher With Her Power?	Because these books are so bad no publisher outside her own cult's would publish them, that's why! Self-indulgent, filled with stories about her those she's known who didn't listen to her ego driven advice and suffered the horrors, this book does little to enlighten much to offend, bore and scare.	negative
1	Not stellar, but fun	I admit, I was a bit unsure when I popped the tape in -- but "Blue Juice" was highly enjoyable. The eccentric minor characters and zany plot are well worth watching on their own, but for me the real draw was the romance between surfer JC (Sean Pertwee) and his lover Chloe (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Not only was their relationship adorable at times, it felt very real. Sean Pertwee did his usual top-rate job as JC, making his character both sympathetic and smouldering. Only one complaint from me: The cover features Zeta-Jones alongside Ewan McGregor, who played a supporting character and whose grungy appearence in the film bore little resemblence to the glamor shot on the cover. Moreover, McGregor's name was emblazoned across the cover in the lead actor's usual spot. Umm... so what happened to Pertwee, the actual star of the film?	positive
1	A pleasant person and a fabulous book!	Mr. Plasiance I enjoyed finally meeting you and the lovely Kiria Gypsy. Your book is very easy to understand but most importantly I just had to meet the man behind the book and the most talked about couple in the pagan cicuit! Thank you both for allowing me to see the artifacts from the buckland museum and allowing me into your home. You are wonderful people and I cannot wait to read Gypsy's new book The Pagan Movement Revealed.Hail to the Gods and Hail to Hermes for prosperity for you both!PaulA fellow Hellenist	positive
0	Thin Line False Positive	I've ordered two batches of these tests now, and both of them contain tests that show a thin "positive" line within seconds of the pee hitting it. Looks like a legit positive, but after three months in a row (and 5 bad tests out of 50) of this, I'm done. I'm going back to tests from early-pregnancy-tests. They're more expensive, but I've never gotten a false positive with them.	negative
1	Well done	You will have to work but this book will help, especially if you know a little but about Spanish. Exercises, verbs, vocabulary. It is worthed. Enjoy it.	positive
0	can we sit still for just a few seconds?	I really wanted to like this video. But I didn't make it past the first 20 minutes or so. The editor/producers, whomever must have been wired on caffeine or some other drug because so many images / video clips are flashed on the screen in quick succession it hardly gave me time to think about what they were saying. Apart from giving me a headache as I tried to think about watching the rest in hyperspeed.Not information overload - IMAGE & VIDEO CLIP OVERLOAD. I've seen hundreds of documentaries in my life and many NatGeo docs. The idea for this is great, but the execution / presentation is lacking. Perhaps if I feel really "hyper" someday I'll try watching the rest of it. Or maybe it works for a generation easily bored that needs a "tech fix" every second via facebook, blackberry, twitter, etc...	negative
0	Pure Junk	First unit was DOA. Amazon was quick on a turn around. Installed the 2nd and found signal from transmitter could not make it through the garage door. It's a steel one, still the Genie remote is a able to send a signal through my door. Frustrating experience as I wasted about 4 hours on this project. I think I'll just get another Genie (expensive) remote.	negative
1	Great Tie Out and Fabulous Price!	This has been a great tie out and the price no other store could match! The clip is harder to use but that is also good the kids don't keep un-hooking the dog and the dog has tried everything and can't get it unhooked....	positive
1	Never Disappointed!	I anticipated the release date for this album for about a month. The day it came out I was at the record store to pick up my copy. When I got home to listen to it, I was not disappointed. All of the anticipation was not wasted. I have to say that this was one of the best albums that I've bought in quite some time (and I buy a lot of music). Usually when I buy an album I only hear three or four songs that I really like but I loved every song on this album and I've played it to death since I bought it almost a month ago! This album is full of excellence--musically, lyrically, and performance wise. It's well worth the adding to your collection today!	positive
1	Great Delivery Speed!	I very much loved the movie. The scenery and costuming of the era was very authentic.I was also very impressed by how quickly the DVD came. I appreciate the super fast service expended by the vendor!	positive
0	A Baker's Dozen - Disappointing	So many errors/typos throughout, that no one could figure this thing out. I have used some of these circuits before, and understood them from a different perspective; trying to understand her explanation was like pulling teeth. I spent hours trying to figure out what the hell she was talking about. It is an expensive book, and merely shows a few random examples of circuits. Save your money for a box of donuts.	negative
0	silly design flaw	The ostensible purpose of these is "security", that is, the need to have an allen wrench to unscrew the skewer. Sure enough, the skewer rod itself has an Allen head, and indeed requires an allen wrench; however, in their infinite wisdom, the Axeldrodz creators cut convenient wrench flats into the other side, the nut the skewer rod screws into; thus anyone with an adjustable wrench or even pliers can open the skewer without bothering with the allen side. The nut should have been totally smooth dome, denying any purchase; what moved them to cut wrench flats into it is beyond me. The skewer will function ok as a regular skewer, but if you want security, either get something like Zefal, or at least replace the nut with smooth one scavenged from an older skewer - many of them have smooth-domed nuts.	negative
1	Works great!	We purchased this product to use on our back deck. We have it hanging from the hanging bracket (which you can buy separately on Amazon). So far it's been working great and keeping the area around the deck mosquito-free.	positive
1	Darger Retrospective	This was published to go with the large Henry Darger retrospective in New York and has all the great drawings (which are huge) reproduced. Darger had such a unique vision and there is so much detail in his artwork. Is he a genius? Yes!	positive
1	Best Ever	Review from the woman in the house that uses it: I've had a few of these silk-epil's over the years. What an improvement! Yes it does hurt the first time you use it, but after that it's pretty painless and there are no stubs and the hair grows back slowly and thinly. The light feature is an extra bonus. It's way better.	positive
1	good for older kids	I received this for a shower gift. my daughter is now almost 3 months old, and she has trouble reaching the toys to kick them. I have to prop her in her boppy pillow to reach them. She loves watching the lights, and when the music runs continuously, she can stay entertained for a long time. My friend's 18 month old can't get enough of the toy, nor can my cousins 12 month old. Definitely designed for older babies.	positive
1	worked mostly well	I gave the set 4 stars because, for the most part, it worked as described. However, I didn't expect the batter to stick to the sides I had lightly greased with Crisco that way it did. I would up holding a side with needle-nosed pliers while pressing down on the center with the bottom end of a wide laddle. I did this rather than using a thin knife around the edges as I didn't want to risk nicking the griddles no-stick finish. But the end product was a very good English muffin. Well worth the extra effort.	positive
1	Exquisite scent, one of the greatest	This was a gift; I learned about it from a woman I believe I was married to. It's become the #1 perfume of the woman I gave it to.	positive
1	Will change your life!	I agree with all of the glowing reviews here on Amazon. This product has changed my television watching habits forever. Having only owned this model for a few weeks, I am already amazed at the change--now I can watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it and I never have to deal with programming a VCR again--in fact, I unhooked my VCR from my system!Amendment to this review: 8/29/01My Tivo automatically downloaded and installed its newest software, making a great product even better, if you can imagine. My favorite new feature is the ability to have your Tivo search out and record pograms by a very sophisticated set of search criteria. Amazing!!!!	positive
0	This item only for sports use	I purchased this product for easing pain caused by my heel spur. The product shifts constantly and is not made to wear with shoes which is what I purchased it for. The cup of the heel is very thin and does not require the support i needed.	negative
1	An excellent guide for beginners and experts!	Although I'm fairly new to off-roading, I always try to take the beaten path. This book is EXCELLENT for those like me. Not only does it give you excellent histories of the areas you travel through, but it gives you difficulty and scenic ratings (on a 1-10 scale). Point-by-point mileage markers are a plus, too. If you have a 4x4 SUV and you want to use it for what it was designed for, this book is for you! It won't lead you into destroying your SUV; instead, you'll bond with it off road!	positive
0	Terrible pad.	Totally ripped and fell apart within the first five minutes of use. Do not purchase. A real disappointment. The Porter-Gable polisher is great, but the pad is junk.	negative
0	stupid is as stupid does	And boy, is this movie stupid! How could they screw up a movie this bad? Fantastic comedians and what should be a hilarious story. Was the Screen Writers Guild on strike or something. Geesh! Waste of time and effort, and most assuredly a waste of my hard earned money to view this stinking pile of movie.	negative
0	DVD	This is one of the very worst movies I have ever taken the time to sit down and watch. I do not recommend this movie	negative
0	Lackluster resource	The lessons in this book are unoriginal and unexciting. I don't see myself using any of them without drastically developing them. I wish I had bought a different book!	negative
1	Solid Performing Camera Case	This is a great purchase to match the DSC-T30 Camera. It screws in the tripod mount, looks great and protects the camera well.	positive
0	unable to play	unable to play on dvd here in australia, they send me the wrong zone dvds and i cann't play them	negative
0	Muddled	I disagree with the previous reviewer. Ives' wild 4th deserves better treatment than this. Ozawa is known for making bad recordings with great orchestras and this disc is no exception. This was the first version I owned of Ives' 4th and I liked it enough to buy a second recording. Michael Tilson-Thomas' reading with the CSO is miles better than this, the detail, especially in the 2nd and 4th movements (the most rhythmically complex and difficult to conduct and perform) is brought out to a wonderful degree. Ozawa simply buries a lot of this. Furthermore, Ozawa does not bring out the American folk tunes and hymns that Ives so cunningly weaves into the overall fabric of this eclectic work. Tilson-Thomas does all of this AND manages to make the 4 movements cohere symphonically, something that not many conductors of this piece can do. Ozawa just flounders, frankly.	negative
1	It is what it is	Yes, these are as pictured, and do what you need them to do. I've used most of the spindle without any issues or defective ones at all.	positive
1	Good solid serial cable	I bought this cable to replace one that came with my washer/dryer set (a GE Profile Harmony series). The cable that came with it was really thin and my cat enjoyed chewing it up.This cable is thicker and will hold up to more wear and tear. It's solid construction, so screwing it into your serial port, it will hold.	positive
0	Be careful	My brother read this book and it warped his mind to say the least. No heart, friends or money when he died. All he did was talk and I mean non stop about how useless everyone was and how they were stupid for working for a living. He got insurance adjusters to take bribes, Vegas trips, women and sporting tickets non stop. After years of success they got caught and all the adjusters were fired and he was black listed in the insurance home repair business. He sent his wife off to work for 15yrs while he sat on his rear end "thinking he was still in control". He ended up a joke with no control over anyone. Last thing I told him was "get a job".	negative
0	Worked well, then both died	I had a tool set with these batteries for about a year with no issues what so ever, despite regular use. After I did not use them for about six months, neither of the batteries would charge or provide any power to speak of. Now I have a set of four tools that would be cheaper to replace altogether than to buy new batteries. Both bateries were disconnected from the tools while not in use. I'm not sure why they died, but I would not purchase them again due to the replacement cost.	negative
0	ITS OKAY BUT NOT FOR A STRONG BABY	WELL MY BABY GIRL IS 7 MONTHS AND I THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD LIKE THE TOY, BUT THE FIRST THING SHE DID WAS PICK IT OUT OF THE HOLDER AND START SWINGING IT. SHE ALMOST HIT HER HEAD, THE BOTTONS ARE A LITTLE TO HARD FOR HER TO PLAY WITH SO SHE REALLY DOESN'T LIKE IT AT ALL.	negative
1	Fun to watch	Didn't watch the original and are having fun watching this series starting with Season one. We are enjoying it now	positive
1	Great for the money	Fits on mirrow great ,you have to work with it a little to lock it on the mirror.over all it is a great towing mirror	positive
0	Not a credible book!	It has become obvious to me and perhaps anyone who has read this book that the author "may be" behind a few of her own five star ratings here! I just noticed the exact same style of writing and same word selection in both the book and the positive reviews. I wondered why a book reviewer would ever defend a book by attacking another reviewer point by point and have the exact same tone found IN the book???? I also noticed the signature words "A READER" is the exact same signature used by both Goodman and Bennings on the same day!!!? Coincidence? OR Did the same person use two different alias names! I hope the writer was not behind this, this is very embarrasing.Another thing that caught my attention was the many uses in the book of the word "WITHIN" and why would any reviewer say the book is "COMPLETE" unless they wrote it and feel it is complete? Positive reviews? hummm...	negative
1	Very Good Insights	This book was an excellent insight into the President who never lost sight of the fact that he was nothing more than a common man. Refreshing attitudes that we do not seem to see in politicians today. In his own words, on many subjects, and shooting from the hip his words provide a greater understanding to what Harry Truman was made of. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about Harry Truman or anyone who has an interest in U.S. history.	positive
1	Go For No	Very good book and very easy and fast read. I loaned it to someone and she very much enjoyed it as well. It was recommended as her monthly book to read.	positive
0	WARNING NOT THE UK post-punk band from 1979	Guessed I was getting some kind of comp of the band Big in Japan from 1978/79 UK but I guessed wrong. Just trying to warn ya.	negative
0	Method to Madness?	Maybe that should've been the book's title. If you are insane enough to work at school from dawn to dusk, giving up your recess and lunch, then this book could be your guide. As for the rest of us normal teachers, the book is not very useful. This book portrays the life of a dysfunctional man, who teaches mostly gifted students, some of whom go to top colleges. Where are the statistics on those who didn't make it to the top? Where are the anecdotes about how to deal with every day classroom management issues?	negative
0	disaster	This was a disaster before I even opened the box hardware was falling out of the box,did open the box on Christmas Eve to put together for my son and it looks like he has had it for 10 years the table has a piece completly broken off,one corner is bent completly over,the paint on all the pieces are is worn and missing hardware,very dissapionted in this product and company will never order any thing from Beck again I should have looked at it before Christmas Eve but was trying to keep it out of sight now it looks like I am going to be scrambling around on Christmas Eve trying to find a replacement if there was a way to rate this with no stars I would have	negative
0	This does not fit	I bought a pair of these. Only one works, but the other does not fit. When you tighten bolts, the tire does not rotate while the other rotor works fine.I could not return this because I tested these after 30 days so I cannot even return this broken item.DO NOT BUY THIS.	negative
0	great music spoiled by amateurish mastering	This DVD contains wonderful singing, the orchestra playing is excellent, and the acting is superb. So why the 1 star? Because whoever prepared the transfer master was utterly incompetent. The indexing in the booklet and via the screen menus is completely wrong. For example if you try to start the beginning of Act II, it puts you in the middle of Act I. There is not the slightest pause between the acts. However, before the duel scene, there is a horrible glitch with a fraction of a second of sound during a screen blackout.It's disgraceful that a major label would put this out; since clearly no one even bothered to check it.If they ever fix these problems, I'd give it a full 5 stars!	negative
1	Take a trip back 700 years	Doyle drops you into mid-1300s England, just after the scourge of the black plague devastated all of Europe. Not only did millions of people die, but the entire culture changed. The story of Sir Nigel provides fascinating (though fictitious) insights into that time and the personalities who ruled and fought. Worth a read if you have a keen interest in historically-based fiction.	positive
0	$ to make this movie should have donated to a worthy cause!	NEGATIVE 1000 ZEROSAnyone who gives this movie a positive rating is Justin or kelly or a family member!!!This movie makes garbage appealingThe American judicial system could use this film and force criminals to watch it as a sentenceTalk about harsh justice	negative
1	The best for any price	After buying two different Freud blades for my miter saw and not liking the quality I read some reviews for the Freud to see again if there was something wrong, I discovered one review that said I should forget the Freud blade and go straight for the Forrest WW11, I did and I can say there is not a blade out there that can hold a candle to this blade. when I opened the package I thought I bought a used blade because it had been personlized, the teeth are so large and sharp you must handle it carefully or get cut. So I installed it and you would not believe it, It is spot on true and with only 40 teeth it cuts so smooth it looks like its went thru the jointer. so if you are looking for the very best look no further, put this blade on your table saw and you can cut anything, anyway.	positive
0	Excellent but wrong	I'm no linguist myself, but Pinker's logical analysis is so weak that an alert reader's conclusion inevitably is: he must be wrong. A common strategy to be convincing is to list all possible theories and to eliminate all but one with supporting facts. Pinker comes up with one single theory, that grammar is genetically determined, and he then lists loads of facts, that happen to be consistent with that theory. However, alternative explanations are hardly discussed, and none is convincingly refuted. At the same time, there are problems with genetically determined grammar, that he doesn't bother to talk about.If there had been good arguments for a genetically determined grammar, I'm sure Pinker would have mentioned them, so I consider this book a very good indication that the theory is a wild guess at best.Still, Pinker is an excellent stylist, and his collection of facts is extremely interesting taken individually. For these reasons alone the book is well worth reading.	negative
1	GoodResource for the Man Who Knows Nothing	"The Unix Bible" might be overstating the case a little. One tends to think about "bibles" as definitive sources of information on a given subject (but now that I think of it, that can't be true. Other wise, "The Holy Bible" would be the definitive source of all things Holy and people are still fighting over what should be included in it).Nonetheless, this is an ideal resource for beginners who don't know one flavor of Unix from another. It's an easy read, a decent overview and will fill your head with enopugh Unix data to fake an interview.	positive
1	Amazing Camera!	After a little more than a month reading reviews I finally decided to go for this camera (Canon Rebel XTi). And I think I made the right choice. This camera has not disappointed me. Every picture I take comes out with outstanding quality. It's just amazing.Some people complain about the fact that Canon got rid of the small lcd screen. I've used the previous model (Rebel XT) and not having the little lcd screen doesn't bother me at all. All the information needed is displayed on the big lcd and it's great.One more thing, this camera performs great under low light conditions. Check some of the images that I uploaded here.Okay! In conclusion, this is an awesome camera, and although some might find it not so comfortable, I totally recommend it.	positive
1	A deeply moving historical novel	Dr. Schaap has succedded in capturing some important truth about American history that most of us had rather deny, discaount or distort. His story is deeply moving in a deeply humane manner in it's treatment of a clash between two cultures. He writes with obvious respect for both cultures. He writes with a passion for the truth, much like Dee Brown did in BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. If you have not dicoveres the work of Jim Schaap, I urge you to do so.	positive
1	AMAZING	I am not a reader by any means, but this book has been recommended numerous times on forums I visit. I couldn't put it down. I read it cover to cover in about 11 hours. BUY THIS BOOK	positive
1	Best song of 1999, and possibly ever....	Ever since I first heard "We're Going To Ibiza", this has been #1 on my personal playlist. I ran into this song in Europe last summer and completely fell under its spell. Okay, so this song is a big 'ole ball of cheese, but I can't deny my love for this extraordinary Euro-tune. This song perfectly encapsulates everything that is magical about Europe, and all that I love about Euro-dance. The Vengaboys keep coming out with hit after hit, but this one is by far their masterpiece. Why is American music so boring and exhaustive? All you guys who live in Europe need to be thankful....this music is unbelievable!	positive
1	I agree, Joshy Hell is an Idiot	Inspired by the below review, I also wanted to chime in an call Icy Hell an idiot. I will definitely buy this album (maybe 2 copies) and revel in the mainstream tones	positive
0	Has anyone noticed..	The only new feature on the "Collector's Edition" DVD is the remastered picture and sound? The bonus features on the new DVD are already available on the DVD that is out now, excluding the remastered picture, a possibly very short 'Intro,' and the I'm sure ultra-exciting photo gallery? I'm sure the 'Making Of' feature is the same one we have already. The ONLY reason I'm even buying this one is because of the new transfer on the DVD. As for the Achiever's gift set, it should AT LEAST include a second disc full of REAL bonus features to warrant THAT price.For more information:http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/Reviews/bigl.htm- Zack, 16 years old	negative
1	Summer of my german solider review	I enjoyed this book a great deal. The story was very interesting and kept the reader guessing. I thought that many issues in the book were easy for students to relate to even today. The author didn't pull any punches in this startling work. I enjoyed this book and recommend it for students in sixth grade and up.	positive
0	Doesn't work with Plasma TV's!	I purchased this headset mainly for watching movies. To my surprise I got terrible static with it and then I saw on page 12 of the manual that plasma displays may interfere with normal operation. I was very disappointed, but Amazon agreed to take this item back for full credit instead of an 80% credit since it was opened.	negative
1	Classic	I grew up with this collection, and spent my life reading stories to children. Nothing beats this for a variety of classic tales and illustrations. It opens with Little Red Hen, and goes through The House that Jack Built, and Over in the Meadow, among others, to include The Live Dolls--which is hard to find, but unforgettable. It deserves its space on the shelf for the first ten years of a child's life.	positive

0	DO NOT BUY THIS SET IF YOU THINK IT IS ALL	Again, do not buy this box set if you think you will get all the "Served"'s. I love "Served" - I still watch the episodes when they come on TV! Some I have recorded and I watch them when I can; I still love the "ignamonious" and cat and "board room level" (look up) jokes (my son loves it when Mr. W.C. Humphries answers the phone in a deep voice by saying, "Men's ware." BUT, I don't have all the episodes, so I thought I would ask for this box set for my birthday, thinking I would complete my own collection. WRONG! Each video, 7 in the collection, only covers three episodes each. The eighth video covers more episodes but only in snippets. That's it! Bogus buy! Better for you to watch your PBS station and wait for the episodes to come on than to waste your money buying only a few episodes. Or better still, go to the DVD section and consider buying all the episodes at a larger price (if you loved the "Served's," it's worth the price).	negative

1	Thoughtful, Biblical, Practical	Nathan and Wilson score on this collaboration! Great for pastors and church leaders looking for guidance in how to have a church that is both strong in Word and strong in Spirit. This book, along with Doug Banister's Word and Power Church, argues convincingly that the best of the Evangelical and Charismatic worlds can be mutually embraced. The authors write carefully and thoughtfully as they strike a balance between the often characterized two extremes: mind and emotion.The only weakness of this book is that it is difficult to keep up with who wrote what. I frequently found myself thumbing back several pages to try to place who exactly was sharing a personal story (Nathan or Wilson?).If you are extremely Pentecostal or extremely anti-charismatic, you will probably disagree with the conclusions drawn in this book, but if you have an open mind, "Take up and read!"	positive
0	One of the reasons I don't tell people I am a wrestling fan!	This book is incredibly poorly written and there are several factual errors.

I strongly recommend against purchasing this product.	negative
1	An overview of the USMC, its mission and methods	As an overview of the contemprary US Marine Corps, this book does a credible job of decribing the mission and weaponry of this elite branch of the US Armed Forces. Using well-organized, concise descriptions, the author leads the reader through the Marine Corps' traditions, philosophy, and organizations. From boot camp to Command and Control, the Ground Combat Element and Marine Air, the reader is treated to numerous, relevant full-color photos of the latest technology and equipment. There is a short section on the history of the Corps, but this is not a book about battles and heroes. It is a concise, quick read with enough information to clarify some misconceptions about the Corps as it pays tribute to this often-misunderstood branch of the armed services. A must-read for anyone who ever wondered what Marines do, and what makes them special among all the fighting forces of the world.	positive

Now it will play a maximum of 35 minutes before the unit freezes (on cd's as well, not just dvd's.) I will never buy ANYTHING from Panasonic, or Panasonic affiliated companies again!!!

You get what you pay for... MOSTLY!

This little meter is disappointing... I guess I was expecting something a little more "finished".Yeah, it works, assuming you have experience using multi-meters. The "operating instructions" are at best minimal; and that's being kind. If you don't have some knowledge of how to use these kinds of meters, you'd be better trying something else. Don't want to beat this to death. But, I was surprised as to how really poor the documentation was.The meter seemed to be accurate enough for the average homeowner tasks. Compared to a Fluke or a Sperry, it's pretty much third class. I wouldn't recommend it. Look around for something a bit more expensive and I'm betting quite a bit better.A one word summary... "Cheesy"

When getting this book in the mail with a bunch of other books, I picked this one up and thought, "Why did my mother buy me this boring and long book?"

Seven Blessings

I really enjoyed this book. After just recently losing my husband and mother, this book seemed like a balm to my soul. It was an escape into a culture that takes the L-rd and his commandments seriously. It made me want to move to Jerusalem and be a part of it all, however unlikely, since I am not Jewish. How wonderful to read a book about love and marriage without all the worldliness and sinfulness that usually goes along with most stories with these themes. Thank you, Ruchama, for an inspiring and uplifting read.

skin broke out

I am sensitive to some sunscreens and moisturizers so this may not be a problem with most people. I had recently started using the Neutragena Wave on an occasional basis and felt my skin was a little dry and needed a moisturizer. Before putting this stuff on, I had noticed the skin on my forehead was looking better than it had in a long time - not a hint of a blemish. After one use, the Revitalift caused my forehead to break out like a teenager's. I will never use this on my face again and regret the purchase. I will use it on my neck and upper chest where I never break out so it doesn't go to waste. If you don't ever break out, it might be a great product but not for me.

Literary noodling for people snowed in for the month

Foucault's Pendulum is a long and ponderous expensive book about a publisher of long and ponderous expensive books. My ex-husband and I read it aloud to each other when it first came out, thinking it might be a painless way to soak up some background information on secret societies. But Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a popular non-fiction book on the same theme, was much more readable.As for the byzantine plot and characterization.... Fifteen years later, all I can remember is the opening scene, where we learn that a writer has disappeared, leaving behind his personal computer, and our protagonist is trying to guess the password.This book appears to be an elaborate conceptual joke aimed at people who have w-a-y too much time on their hands and want to transcend the need for entertainment.

4 Monkeys

If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, would they eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare? Who knows?What I do know is that "Heart of Darkness" could be the result of 4 monkeys doing about 2 hours of work. To read the book is a chore.My daughter had to read this book as part of a summer assignment for English. I, being one to read classics, looked forward to reading another good book.Conrad's rambling tale is difficult to follow, but even more, BORING to follow.I can more easily read a book on quantum physics. To require someone to read Conrad is more like punishment than education.

Because these books are so bad no publisher outside her own cult's would publish them, that's why! Self-indulgent, filled with stories about her those she's known who didn't listen to her ego driven advice and suffered the horrors, this book does little to enlighten much to offend, bore and scare.

Not stellar, but fun

I admit, I was a bit unsure when I popped the tape in -- but "Blue Juice" was highly enjoyable. The eccentric minor characters and zany plot are well worth watching on their own, but for me the real draw was the romance between surfer JC (Sean Pertwee) and his lover Chloe (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Not only was their relationship adorable at times, it felt very real. Sean Pertwee did his usual top-rate job as JC, making his character both sympathetic and smouldering. Only one complaint from me: The cover features Zeta-Jones alongside Ewan McGregor, who played a supporting character *and* whose grungy appearence in the film bore little resemblence to the glamor shot on the cover. Moreover, McGregor's name was emblazoned across the cover in the lead actor's usual spot. Umm... so what happened to Pertwee, the actual star of the film?

Looks like a legit positive, but after three months in a row (and 5 bad tests out of 50) of this, I'm done. I'm going back to tests from early-pregnancy-tests.

can we sit still for just a few seconds?

I really wanted to like this video. But I didn't make it past the first 20 minutes or so. The editor/producers, whomever must have been wired on caffeine or some other drug because so many images / video clips are flashed on the screen in quick succession it hardly gave me time to think about what they were saying. Apart from giving me a headache as I tried to think about watching the rest in hyperspeed.Not information overload - IMAGE & VIDEO CLIP OVERLOAD. I've seen hundreds of documentaries in my life and many NatGeo docs. The idea for this is great, but the execution / presentation is lacking. Perhaps if I feel really "hyper" someday I'll try watching the rest of it. Or maybe it works for a generation easily bored that needs a "tech fix" every second via facebook, blackberry, twitter, etc...

I anticipated the release date for this album for about a month. The day it came out I was at the record store to pick up my copy. When I got home to listen to it, I was not disappointed. All of the anticipation was not wasted. I have to say that this was one of the best albums that I've bought in quite some time (and I buy a lot of music). Usually when I buy an album I only hear three or four songs that I really like but I loved every song on this album and I've played it to death since I bought it almost a month ago! This album is full of excellence--musically, lyrically, and performance wise. It's well worth the adding to your collection today!

silly design flaw

The ostensible purpose of these is "security", that is, the need to have an allen wrench to unscrew the skewer. Sure enough, the skewer rod itself has an Allen head, and indeed requires an allen wrench; however, in their infinite wisdom, the Axeldrodz creators cut convenient wrench flats into the *other* side, the nut the skewer rod screws into; thus anyone with an adjustable wrench or even pliers can open the skewer without bothering with the allen side. The nut should have been totally smooth dome, denying any purchase; what moved them to cut wrench flats into it is beyond me. The skewer will function ok as a regular skewer, but if you want security, either get something like Zefal, or at least replace the nut with smooth one scavenged from an older skewer - many of them have smooth-domed nuts.

worked mostly well

I gave the set 4 stars because, for the most part, it worked as described. However, I didn't expect the batter to stick to the sides I had lightly greased with Crisco that way it did. I would up holding a side with needle-nosed pliers while pressing down on the center with the bottom end of a wide laddle. I did this rather than using a thin knife around the edges as I didn't want to risk nicking the griddles no-stick finish. But the end product was a very good English muffin. Well worth the extra effort.

I agree with all of the glowing reviews here on Amazon. This product has changed my television watching habits forever. Having only owned this model for a few weeks, I am already amazed at the change--now I can watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it and I never have to deal with programming a VCR again--in fact, I unhooked my VCR from my system!Amendment to this review: 8/29/01My Tivo automatically downloaded and installed its newest software, making a great product even better, if you can imagine.

Although I'm fairly new to off-roading, I always try to take the beaten path. This book is EXCELLENT for those like me. Not only does it give you excellent histories of the areas you travel through, but it gives you difficulty and scenic ratings (on a 1-10 scale). Point-by-point mileage markers are a plus, too.

Muddled

I disagree with the previous reviewer. Ives' wild 4th deserves better treatment than this. Ozawa is known for making bad recordings with great orchestras and this disc is no exception. This was the first version I owned of Ives' 4th and I liked it enough to buy a second recording. Michael Tilson-Thomas' reading with the CSO is miles better than this, the detail, especially in the 2nd and 4th movements (the most rhythmically complex and difficult to conduct and perform) is brought out to a wonderful degree. Ozawa simply buries a lot of this. Furthermore, Ozawa does not bring out the American folk tunes and hymns that Ives so cunningly weaves into the overall fabric of this eclectic work. Tilson-Thomas does all of this AND manages to make the 4 movements cohere symphonically, something that not many conductors of this piece can do. Ozawa just flounders, frankly.

Be careful

My brother read this book and it warped his mind to say the least. No heart, friends or money when he died. All he did was talk and I mean non stop about how useless everyone was and how they were stupid for working for a living. He got insurance adjusters to take bribes, Vegas trips, women and sporting tickets non stop. After years of success they got caught and all the adjusters were fired and he was black listed in the insurance home repair business. He sent his wife off to work for 15yrs while he sat on his rear end "thinking he was still in control". He ended up a joke with no control over anyone. Last thing I told him was "get a job".

Worked well, then both died

I had a tool set with these batteries for about a year with no issues what so ever, despite regular use. After I did not use them for about six months, neither of the batteries would charge or provide any power to speak of. Now I have a set of four tools that would be cheaper to replace altogether than to buy new batteries. Both bateries were disconnected from the tools while not in use. I'm not sure why they died, but I would not purchase them again due to the replacement cost.

It has become obvious to me and perhaps anyone who has read this book that the author "may be" behind a few of her own five star ratings here! I just noticed the exact same style of writing and same word selection in both the book and the positive reviews. I wondered why a book reviewer would ever defend a book by attacking another reviewer point by point and have the exact same tone found IN the book???? I also noticed the signature words "A READER" is the exact same signature used by both Goodman and Bennings on the same day!!!? Coincidence? OR Did the same person use two different alias names! I hope the writer was not behind this, this is very embarrasing.Another thing that caught my attention was the many uses in the book of the word "WITHIN" and why would any reviewer say the book is "COMPLETE" unless they wrote it and feel it is complete? Positive reviews? hummm...

Very Good Insights

This book was an excellent insight into the President who never lost sight of the fact that he was nothing more than a common man. Refreshing attitudes that we do not seem to see in politicians today. In his own words, on many subjects, and shooting from the hip his words provide a greater understanding to what Harry Truman was made of. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about Harry Truman or anyone who has an interest in U.S. history.

Method to Madness?

Maybe that should've been the book's title. If you are insane enough to work at school from dawn to dusk, giving up your recess and lunch, then this book could be your guide. As for the rest of us normal teachers, the book is not very useful. This book portrays the life of a dysfunctional man, who teaches mostly gifted students, some of whom go to top colleges. Where are the statistics on those who didn't make it to the top? Where are the anecdotes about how to deal with every day classroom management issues?

This does not fit

I bought a pair of these. Only one works, but the other does not fit. When you tighten bolts, the tire does not rotate while the other rotor works fine.I could not return this because I tested these after 30 days so I cannot even return this broken item.DO NOT BUY THIS.

great music spoiled by amateurish mastering

This DVD contains wonderful singing, the orchestra playing is excellent, and the acting is superb. So why the 1 star? Because whoever prepared the transfer master was utterly incompetent. The indexing in the booklet and via the screen menus is completely wrong. For example if you try to start the beginning of Act II, it puts you in the middle of Act I. There is not the slightest pause between the acts. However, before the duel scene, there is a horrible glitch with a fraction of a second of sound during a screen blackout.It's disgraceful that a major label would put this out; since clearly no one even bothered to check it.If they ever fix these problems, I'd give it a full 5 stars!

Take a trip back 700 years

Doyle drops you into mid-1300s England, just after the scourge of the black plague devastated all of Europe. Not only did millions of people die, but the entire culture changed. The story of Sir Nigel provides fascinating (though fictitious) insights into that time and the personalities who ruled and fought. Worth a read if you have a keen interest in historically-based fiction.

The best for any price

After buying two different Freud blades for my miter saw and not liking the quality I read some reviews for the Freud to see again if there was something wrong, I discovered one review that said I should forget the Freud blade and go straight for the Forrest WW11, I did and I can say there is not a blade out there that can hold a candle to this blade. when I opened the package I thought I bought a used blade because it had been personlized, the teeth are so large and sharp you must handle it carefully or get cut. So I installed it and you would not believe it, It is spot on true and with only 40 teeth it cuts so smooth it looks like its went thru the jointer. so if you are looking for the very best look no further, put this blade on your table saw and you can cut anything, anyway.

Excellent but wrong

I'm no linguist myself, but Pinker's logical analysis is so weak that an alert reader's conclusion inevitably is: he must be wrong. A common strategy to be convincing is to list all possible theories and to eliminate all but one with supporting facts. Pinker comes up with one single theory, that grammar is genetically determined, and he then lists loads of facts, that happen to be consistent with that theory. However, alternative explanations are hardly discussed, and none is convincingly refuted. At the same time, there are problems with genetically determined grammar, that he doesn't bother to talk about.If there had been good arguments for a genetically determined grammar, I'm sure Pinker would have mentioned them, so I consider this book a very good indication that the theory is a wild guess at best.Still, Pinker is an excellent stylist, and his collection of facts is extremely interesting taken individually. For these reasons alone the book is well worth reading.

GoodResource for the Man Who Knows Nothing

"The Unix Bible" might be overstating the case a little. One tends to think about "bibles" as definitive sources of information on a given subject (but now that I think of it, that can't be true. Other wise, "The Holy Bible" would be the definitive source of all things Holy and people are still fighting over what should be included in it).Nonetheless, this is an ideal resource for beginners who don't know one flavor of Unix from another. It's an easy read, a decent overview and will fill your head with enopugh Unix data to fake an interview.

Amazing Camera!

After a little more than a month reading reviews I finally decided to go for this camera (Canon Rebel XTi). And I think I made the right choice. This camera has not disappointed me. Every picture I take comes out with outstanding quality. It's just amazing.Some people complain about the fact that Canon got rid of the small lcd screen. I've used the previous model (Rebel XT) and not having the little lcd screen doesn't bother me at all. All the information needed is displayed on the big lcd and it's great.One more thing, this camera performs great under low light conditions. Check some of the images that I uploaded here.Okay! In conclusion, this is an awesome camera, and although some might find it not so comfortable, I totally recommend it.

A deeply moving historical novel

Dr. Schaap has succedded in capturing some important truth about American history that most of us had rather deny, discaount or distort. His story is deeply moving in a deeply humane manner in it's treatment of a clash between two cultures. He writes with obvious respect for both cultures. He writes with a passion for the truth, much like Dee Brown did in BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. If you have not dicoveres the work of Jim Schaap, I urge you to do so.

Best song of 1999, and possibly ever....

Ever since I first heard "We're Going To Ibiza", this has been #1 on my personal playlist. I ran into this song in Europe last summer and completely fell under its spell. Okay, so this song is a big 'ole ball of cheese, but I can't deny my love for this extraordinary Euro-tune. This song perfectly encapsulates everything that is magical about Europe, and all that I love about Euro-dance. The Vengaboys keep coming out with hit after hit, but this one is by far their masterpiece. Why is American music so boring and exhaustive? All you guys who live in Europe need to be thankful....this music is unbelievable!

Has anyone noticed..

The only new feature on the "Collector's Edition" DVD is the remastered picture and sound? The bonus features on the new DVD are already available on the DVD that is out now, excluding the remastered picture, a possibly very short 'Intro,' and the I'm sure ultra-exciting photo gallery? I'm sure the 'Making Of' feature is the same one we have already. The ONLY reason I'm even buying this one is because of the new transfer on the DVD. As for the Achiever's gift set, it should AT LEAST include a second disc full of REAL bonus features to warrant THAT price.For more information:http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/Reviews/bigl.htm- Zack, 16 years old

Summer of my german solider review

I enjoyed this book a great deal. The story was very interesting and kept the reader guessing. I thought that many issues in the book were easy for students to relate to even today. The author didn't pull any punches in this startling work. I enjoyed this book and recommend it for students in sixth grade and up.

Doesn't work with Plasma TV's!

I purchased this headset mainly for watching movies. To my surprise I got terrible static with it and then I saw on page 12 of the manual that plasma displays may interfere with normal operation. I was very disappointed, but Amazon agreed to take this item back for full credit instead of an 80% credit since it was opened.

Classic

I grew up with this collection, and spent my life reading stories to children. Nothing beats this for a variety of classic tales and illustrations. It opens with Little Red Hen, and goes through The House that Jack Built, and Over in the Meadow, among others, to include The Live Dolls--which is hard to find, but unforgettable. It deserves its space on the shelf for the first ten years of a child's life.

DO NOT BUY THIS SET IF YOU THINK IT IS ALL

Again, do not buy this box set if you think you will get all the "Served"'s. I love "Served" - I still watch the episodes when they come on TV! Some I have recorded and I watch them when I can; I still love the "ignamonious" and cat and "board room level" (look up) jokes (my son loves it when Mr. W.C. Humphries answers the phone in a deep voice by saying, "Men's ware." BUT, I don't have all the episodes, so I thought I would ask for this box set for my birthday, thinking I would complete my own collection. WRONG! Each video, 7 in the collection, only covers three episodes each. The eighth video covers more episodes but only in snippets. That's it! Bogus buy! Better for you to watch your PBS station and wait for the episodes to come on than to waste your money buying only a few episodes. Or better still, go to the DVD section and consider buying all the episodes at a larger price (if you loved the "Served's," it's worth the price).

Lucked out

Owning a Rowenta that faied within the first year I went the nearest Target and asked for the black Rowenta 6900 man's iron, only to find that it and model D2030 were not in stock as they described.Not ready to leave I saw a Black and Decker digital advantage model. I could have bought either of the other displayed Rowenta's but I choose the B/D model w/o a box. It was a 75% off close out.Returning home I logged on to Con. Rep. site to find that this model wasa best buy. Plenty of steam at a good price. It also shuts off the steam with setting less than 4 .......1-acryllic 7.- linen.All this for $14.95 drive out!Berne AbriolaWest Columbia, Tx

A Real Disappointment!

I highly doubt this is the best sportswriting of 1998! Littlefield picks two mediocre efforts by Charlie Pierce, and neglects the superb '98 writings of S.I.'s Steve Rushin and Franz Lidz. One has to wonder if a sort of reverse "race card" has been played here. This series grows increasingly mediocre. You'd be better off reading Rushin's great "Road Swing" and Lidz's astonishing "Unstrung Heroes."

FineReader takes all of my scanned .pdf images and converts them into readable .pdf documents. It's somewhat less automated than Nuance's OmniPage, but at least I could get it to work out of the box, without contacting tech support (whereas I could never get OP15 to work, even after hours on TS).

Thoughtful, Biblical, Practical

Nathan and Wilson score on this collaboration! Great for pastors and church leaders looking for guidance in how to have a church that is both strong in Word and strong in Spirit. This book, along with Doug Banister's Word and Power Church, argues convincingly that the best of the Evangelical and Charismatic worlds can be mutually embraced. The authors write carefully and thoughtfully as they strike a balance between the often characterized two extremes: mind and emotion.The only weakness of this book is that it is difficult to keep up with who wrote what. I frequently found myself thumbing back several pages to try to place who exactly was sharing a personal story (Nathan or Wilson?).If you are extremely Pentecostal or extremely anti-charismatic, you will probably disagree with the conclusions drawn in this book, but if you have an open mind, "Take up and read!"

One of the reasons I don't tell people I am a wrestling fan!

This book is incredibly poorly written and there are several factual errors. I might recommend it to someone who's just starting to watch wrestling or just learning how to read. You're better off saving your money and going to one of the many wrestling history sites on the internet. Mr. Keith would be advised to do a little more research before writing his next book.

Pointless

This product is terrible. The flags don't have enough adhesive to stay put and if you have more than one set of documents they'll move around and get caught on other papers. You definitely can't reuse them like you can the Post-It brand flags. The clear film that holds the flags will slip out of the dispenser and defeats the one-handed point of the dispenser since you have to hold the film taught to press out a flag. I strongly recommend against purchasing this product.

An overview of the USMC, its mission and methods

As an overview of the contemprary US Marine Corps, this book does a credible job of decribing the mission and weaponry of this elite branch of the US Armed Forces. Using well-organized, concise descriptions, the author leads the reader through the Marine Corps' traditions, philosophy, and organizations. From boot camp to Command and Control, the Ground Combat Element and Marine Air, the reader is treated to numerous, relevant full-color photos of the latest technology and equipment. There is a short section on the history of the Corps, but this is not a book about battles and heroes. It is a concise, quick read with enough information to clarify some misconceptions about the Corps as it pays tribute to this often-misunderstood branch of the armed services. A must-read for anyone who ever wondered what Marines do, and what makes them special among all the fighting forces of the world.

Not good quality

The Good:*Starts easily*anti-vibration handle*plenty of power for around the yardThe Bad:*This saw worked great for about 1 hour, then it started to have problems. It would not start, and I had to bring it in for a warranty repair. The shop had to replace a major engine part. They had some choice words for the McCulloch brand since they have been taken over by MTD. They said they now get numerous problems with these saws.*The Bar oil also leaks out of its tank unless you vent it after every use by opening the cap and closing it again.*Now the bar is not getting oiled properly, and yes I have the adjuster screw set properly.Overall, I would never buy another MC saw again. Maybe I just got a defective unit, but my 1 year warranty is now up, and I am stuck with a problem ridden piece of junk. Total hours of use: maybe 2

Panasonic no longer makes quality items

Four months after I bought this player it also did the skipping, pixelated, black screen process due to overheating and condensation on the lens. I was charged the 85 dollars from Panasonic to have it fixed. Needless to say, less than six months after I got it back the problem started again. Now it will play a maximum of 35 minutes before the unit freezes (on cd's as well, not just dvd's.) I will never buy ANYTHING from Panasonic, or Panasonic affiliated companies again!!! Apparently they haven't figured out how to make a decent piece of equipment anymore because Amazon is loaded with bad reviews on their newest equipment as well. They got my 430 dollars, bent me over and said thanks.
