0	Load of Rubbish	This book must be an attempt to cash in on the interest in this topic. The book is woefully biased, shamelessly propagandistic, and the information the author provides is just plain incorrect on page after page. Factual errors abound. I'm surprised his editors let him get by with so many mistakes. This author can't be passing himself off as an 'historian.' I would recommend just about any other of the numerous authors who examine the history, battles, and personalities on this topic. I find this book useless, sensationalistic, and a waste of time and money.	negative
1	I Give This Film Five Cowbells	Is Christopher Walken the Man or what? For the first hour or so I thought Walken was essentially in paycheck mode deferring to his young co-stars(Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas, Johnny Golicki, et al), who aren't bad by the way, while he's duct-taped to a wheelchair slowly bleeding to death from a dismembered digit. Then the Walken-ator jumps into action and the wheels are in motion. You watch him size up his captors and turn the situation around to his advantage. Was there any doubt! As a bonus you also get Dennis Leary as an associate of Chris who shows the young turks that they're not ready to play with the big boys. You can say that "Suicide Kings" has a little bit of the Tarantino influence as well as "The Usual Suspects". There is enough originality in director Peter O'Fallon's film to differentiate it from it's predecessors. In a nutshell, "Walken fans, rejoice!"	positive
0	Water Pic Performance C-	The water pic unit does not prime its small pump very well. One must push down on the plastic water container to get the flow started. The pressure settings are set too low. On my old unit the setting that worked for me was two. The new unit requires a six setting to equal the old unit's performance.	negative
0	this book is a total donkey.	This book has very little to do with SONG writing: it contians tips on LYRIC writing... and the author's lyrics are some of the worst I've heard in a while. I feel bad being so negative but I want to save people from wasting money.	negative
0	Deja Boo!	David Ash is a paranormal investigator haunted by the childhood death of his sister, he finds escape at the bottom of a bottle. David is sent to debunk the claims of a haunting at the estate of the mysterious Mariell family. While there he is forced to confront his own demons while battling malevolent manifestations in the home. This character also appears in Herbert's "Ghosts of Sleath."Well if you've seen "The Sixth Sense" or "The Others," (Not Herbert's "Others) you pretty much know what's coming by the first few pages. Unfortunately, the element of surprise is the entire foundation of the book, it's what the suspense is building to. With that gone, there are no engaging characters, no sense of atmosphere, nothing to really hold the interest. Worst yet, when David falls in love it annoyed me, as there seemed no basis for it except to up the stakes for the "surprise" ending.	negative
1	Interesting	I bought this book because I was in Virginia when the crash occurred. It's an interesting book on how the crash happened and how it affected the families of those that died.	positive
1	Emotional	Wow, this book was good, flowed really well and kept me wanting to turn the pages as there were quite a few things happening and I couldn't wait to find out how things panned out. An emotional book about relationships with friends, with mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and daughters. I would definitely recommend this book.	positive
0	snap, crackle, and pop	This blood pressure monitor appears to be well made and sells for an attractive price. Alas, the nylon material the cuff is made from makes audible noise when it flexes (deflates). As a result, it's next to impossible to tell when the pulse becomes inaudible. This renders it unusable.	negative
1	KO	I just got done watching aFANTASTIC movie. And I don't use thatword lightly. It's PATHS OF GLORY,one of S.Kubrick's early ones. It's a knockout.Really fantastic writing.While I was watching it, I startedthinking about Tarantino, because hislast one was also a war movie. Ireally like his films, too, but reallycouldn't give a dead rat forInglorious Basterds, and hadn'tfigured out why I was so underwhelmedby it, especially when most of myfriends seemed to like it. WatchingPATHS OF GLORY, it all became very clearto me.	positive
0	Informational text	This is informational.... and that is about it.Boring, dull, droll... don't read it unless you have to.	negative
1	great service	thanks for great service, item was as expected, came very fast, packed nicely, thanks again for the great service thanks	positive
0	If you enjoy 1940s comic books, this is the one for you!	what the heck, even if I give it only two stars for poor writing, lame charectors, and contrived situations, it is fun in the same way those old Captain America and Bucky cartoons were. I mean, this book has it all...Evil Nazi clones! Jackbooted goons all in black riding SnoCats (as seen on TV in the Man from Uncle)! Loneghrin's Spear (aka the Holy Lance, per Cussler "the holiest relic in Christianity!?!)! .... Butwait, there's more! You can have a bundle of fun laughing at Cussler's grasp of science and history. I always thought Star Trek was the low point of pop science, but no longer, Clive has taken the nadir for himself. .... And the history is even sillier. Cussler has a historian say "it's a fact that the more advanced a civilization, the less they leave behind them". Huh? That makes no sense whatsoever. ....	negative
0	Hmmmmmmm	I've seen better movies on The All News Channel. Odysseus was played very well, but his part was boring. As well as the rest of the movie. Scylla looks like 1930's cartoons.I drew better stuff in 1st grade.Every single scene looks so fake it isn't even funny. I can probably get more entertainment watching an earthworm. I would not recommend this to anyone young or old. This movie isn't worth a penny in my book!	negative
1	The Idiot's Guide to Quilting	I read in QuiltersHome Magazine that Mark found this to be on of his most used reference guide books. I have looked at second hand stores for this book since last April and could not find it. Then I decided to see if Amazon had it. Not only did you have it, but even the updated version. The price and shipping was great.Now that I have the book, it is easy to use and is a wonderful reference book. I would prefer to more color pictures but other then that it is really easy for Quilter want-a-b's to understand. It was a really good experience for me to order through Amazon and will do so more often when I am looking for a book. I actually received the book in less than a week. The book is a joy to have and read. If it had more color pictures, I would have given it a 5 star.Sincerely,Cindy	positive
1	A Great Read	Population: 485 is a wonderful taste of rural firefighting and emergency response. The personalities are a microcosom of most country departments, and Perry shows the humorous and tragic sides of the business in an authentic and highly personal way. Highly recommended.Gary RymanAuthor of "Fire Men: Stories From Three Generations of a Firefighting Family[...]	positive
1	Educational and Funny	My two year old acts out the episodes and watches them nonstop. These are probably his favorite out of all his other dvd's.	positive
0	Total trash!	When it comes to war dramatizations, I am a rewlist. "Tora Tora Tora", "Stalingrad", "Band Of Brothers", "Untergang" and "Saving Private Ryan". This flop is nothing but another Hollywood, liberal contribution to the Second World War. Don Rickles, a well known stand up comic a soldier. Donald Sutherland, the hippie tank driver. Really? If true to life American soldiers didn't shave him bald the Germans would have done it. Carrol Oconnor made a convincing "Archie Bunker" however not a military officer. The only redeming actor of the whole lot is Clint Eastwood and he even appeared awkward playing his role. I don't own this movie, won't buy it. Take it from someone who watched it. The Three Stoogrs coikd have made a more realustic war movie. Save your money.	negative
0	Not great if younger siblings are listening	This is one of my 6 year old's favorite books. Unfortunately my 3 year old has memorized it & thinks it's appropriate to say, "If you don't give me ....., I'm going to yell and scream!" and, "If you don't let me have those....., I'm going to knock them down." I wasn't thrilled about the sexist ending either. Robert Munsch often starts with a great premise, but goes overboard with the rude language. There are so many other ways to get kids to laugh; it's too bad that he resorts to this so often.	negative
0	Broke in 1 week	Had micro touch in past that lasted for yrs. this one was cheap & broke in a week. not happy w quality...	negative
1	Feels like a transition album	It would be very hard for anyone to top 1997's "A Pleasant Shade of Grey." Fates Warning didn't quite manage it with this one. The album has its moments and is a solid effort from a truly amazing band, but it fails to reach the heights of APSOG, Perfect Symmetry, and No Exit.There are a lot of atmospherics and hints of electronic soundscapes, which began on the last album and are evident a bit more here. My feeling is that by the next album they'll have gotten a better handle on this sort of thing and be able to explore it more thoroughly and again achieve that particular surpassing beauty that no else can deliver.But this album gets 4 stars just for "Something from Nothing."	positive
0	Warner Bros ruining Scooby Doo!	Since Warner Bros. acquired Scooby Doo from Hannah Barbera, they have put out garbage like this movie Abracadabra Doo! I bought this movie yesterday from Best Buy, could only sit through 1/2 the movie then put it in the case and threw it in the garbage. I am a HUGE Scooby Doo fan and this was horrible! I don't know what clowns Warner Bros. has writing and directing the Scooby Doo films now, but they need to go back to Hannah Barbera and ask for their help in bringing back the magic. It's obvious Warner is just in it for a quick buck, not quality. Abracadabra, hocus pocus...make Warner Bros. executives vanish!	negative
0	INCOMPATIBLE with Intel Centrino processors	I bought the Belkin F5D7230-4 a few weeks back when I bought a new Dell inspirion 600m with Intel Centrino 1.5 GHz.Though the setup was easy (nothing great because all routers are easy to set up). But I found that router kept dropping my connection every few minutes. I finally called Belkin support and they told me that Belkin routers have an issue with some Intel processors.The tech support told me to call regular customer service. When I did, Customer Service said that even if there was a problem (notice they didn't deny it) it should have been fixed by now.FINAL VERDICT: Save your money. Buy Netgear or Linksys routers. If you still want to buy Belkin and if your laptop has intel chips it will be a good idea to call Belkin customer support and verify if that particular router supports your particular processor. Also keep the receipt of your router in case you have to return it to the store. Remember, Belkin will NOT refund your money.	negative
1	I like these headphones	My review of these headphones is a little mixed and different than the average user. You see; I bought these mainly to use playing my electric guitar through my multi-effects pedal.So first off, for playing guitar they are not perfect, if you use alot of distortion and heavy palm muting the volume seems to drop some; almost like smart sound trying to adjust itself, but its tolerable.Now for stereo music listening I think they are excellent, they have plenty of bass, very clear stereo sound and I can walk around the whole house doing stuff and even go out side and they work fine. They are also very comfortable for headphones and light weight.	positive
0	Not for me	Not a fan of this product. I have heard that it works, but not for me. I feel like a drug addict when taking chaser because you have to keep track of how many drinks you have and take a number of pills throughout the night. When I'm out having a good time, trying to remember to take chaser after a certain number of drinks is the last thing on my mind. Maybe it didn't work because I didn't follow the exact dosage instructions. I have purchased and reveiwed a similar product called Drinkin' Mate Natural Hangover Prevention Tablets, 6-Count Packages (Pack of 2) and let me tell you, this product is a lot better!	negative
0	Great looking but not extremely durable	I enjoyed the styling of this belt while I owned it, but it's not nearly as durable as the typical belt design. If you plan to only wear it for certain occasions and not day to day, it should work for you.	negative
1	Would have given 5 stars, but.......	This story was absolutely incredible. I listened to this one on CD and I was so anxious to get into my car to hear the rest of the story every day! I absolutely loved the storyline. It was great.The only reason I gave it 4 instead of five is because I thought they could have tied it up in a little prettier of a package. I had two many un answered questions that could have been beautifully answered with one more chapter.But still one of my favorites.....	positive
1	great	By far my favorite and most calming cd. Gets played all the time especially before bed to relax.	positive
1	beautiful recording of original scores	Some things (like good wine) DO improve with age. As Barry is getting older,he seems more productive than ever. Tours,television,writing songs and producing a musical. And suddenly there is this album. His voice is strong and he sings the songs like a young Barry. For me it was not hard to "try and get the feeling again". Barry was and IS still here and is getting better each time.	positive
0	Failed completely after only 11 months	Loved this salt grinder when I got it in March, 2012, but now the darned thing has seized up completely. Can no longer turn the base to refill - I've even had my husband and a couple of other "strong" men try to turn it, to no avail. I had certainly hoped that this would not be a disposable, but apparently it has become so.Very disappointed.	negative
0	Positive Role Models	I have been a fan of heavy music since my teen years, and still am now in my mid-twenties. Truthfully I don't even own this album, and frankly, I never will. My reasons? I saw Limp in concert with Ozzy, and was getting into their music which I'd never heard before, when I noticed that throughout the set the lead singer consistently degraded women, calling them names and then getting some cognitively delayed female to take off her clothes and dance around on stage. If misogynism is a marketing tactic for y'all, I'm sure you've lost many a sale from intelligent women who don't appreciate being treated like dirty diaper cakes at a concert we paid good money to see. I didn't pay to get called a easy pants pupett. Just because you have the short man complex dude, don't take it out on us. Screw you. You probably are as ___ as a 3 dollar bill.	negative
1	Amusing, Fast-Paced Book	Jacquie D'Alessandro is quickly becoming a "must have" author. Her stories are always amusing, loving, and fast paced. In "WHO WILL TAKE THIS MAN?" we encounter a matchmaker, Meredith, who has been hired by the father of our hero, Philip, to find him a wife. After finding him the "perfect" match, Meredith discovers that there is a mysterious curse shadowing our hero. This curse will kill his intended bride two days after they wed. After informing his fiance of the pending doom, the wedding is called off.Meredith, afraid that this scandal will end her career, sets off to find Philip another bride. However, she soon discovers that she falls in love with him herself. Philip, a historian who would rather travel the world than run his estates, also finds himself drawn to Meredith. However, he will not marry her until he has discovered how to end the curse.Filled with humor, this book reads quickly. Highly recommended.	positive
1	Best coffee maker we've had in a while	We recently "blew up" another Bodum Santos coffee maker and decided to try something else. This one has exceeded our expectations - the coffee tastes great and is a perfect temperature and stays that way in the thermal carafe for several hours.	positive
0	LUCY PEARL IS LUCY DIAMONIQUE.	First, Dawn Robinson formerly of En Vogue should go back to her former music heritage....and listen to "Masterpiece Theatre" and see what she has missed.Lucy Pearl has promise, but this CD just fails to deliver...there are some nice touches like "Dance Tonight" and "Lala", but the album just fades into slow beats that repeat in each song....the album gets very repetitive after the 3rd song, before you know it the album is over and you think you have listened to the same song throughout the album.The vocals are wonderful and the production is great, but Lucy Pearl needs to step it up a little and make the songs sound more diverse.A fair effort at best, I only recommend it for diehard Dawn Robinson fans.	negative
0	Don't make the same mistake I made	This is the WORST simulation game ever. Once you lose your money, you never get it back. There is no point in it, since your competition keeps getting richer while you keep getting poorer. I never was able to figure it out.-I haven't played it for 8 months	negative
1	my favorite!	this eyeliner is the best! i love it, it lasts all day, and its easy to apply. its too bad they dont sell these in stores anymore in the US because i LOVE this! i recommend this to anybody who wants a great eyeliner.	positive
1	The Glorious Barbara Cook	I recently had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Cook. She told me this was her favorite recording of her career; I agree. It is an extraordinary concert. Barbara Cook's glorious performance is perfection.	positive
1	She's a champ indeed!!!!	I first heard of ms jade on missy's album on funky fresh dressed, and i liked her flow. i soon found out of her 3 singles, downloaded them all and liked them alot. soon i bought the album and at first there were a few tracks i loved, and some i liked less. but now, wow! i listen to the all way through and enjoy each and every track like it was a single on its own!She's got the attitude, the lyrics, the beats - whatever it takes to become the next hiphop queen!Tracks like jade's the champ, she's a gangsta , dead wrong and coutn it off- will have your head noded in no time.songs like get away, really don't want my love are more mellow (but tight as well!)and f course the hot singles big head, feel the girl, and ching ching are all here!besides that, all the tracks are great, but only step up, and ching ching 2 - i like less, they don't have the same power and energy as the others.	positive
0	scat mat	This product worked well for a short period of time. When it ceased to work about 8 weeks later, close exam showed a wire pulled loose, and broken. No children here, and one escape artist cat. Nothing to catch the wire, I assume the wire was too close to surface, as the wires are about the thickness of a human hair. Disappointed in short survival.	negative
1	Excellent quality!	I replaced the serpentine belt in my 2002 Acura RSX Type S, easy to install and drove great afterwards! Excellent price!	positive
1	scan disc	I would have thought that it would have come with some type of scan disc or larger internal memory! But all in all it is a very good buy!!!	positive
1	Essential for any Calculus course	In Calculus I, I was taught using computer programs how to solve Calculus problems but never actually learned Calculus. This put me in a tough spot when I had to start Calculus II and didn't know what I was doing. In this course we weren't allowed to use calculators and everything I learned in Calculus I became useless. Fortunately, I came across this book and I was able to teach myself Calculus in a matter of days. I also tried several other Calculus supplements and the only one I can recommend is "How To Ace Calculus" and its sequel for anyone taking Calc II & III. Whether you're dumping a fortune into an education on brushing up on some old math this book is the only supplement you need.	positive
1	Good balls at a great price	I play daily and these balls play and hold up well. It's been about a month and I've only cracked a couple.	positive
0	Mis-representation	I just received my new Delta Platinum Edition 36-485 table saw and needed someway to collect dust generated by the table saw and was about to buy item DC001. Thanks to the reviews, I learned that this item will not fit my new saw even though the mfg and writeup by Tool Crib would lead you to believe otherwise. This mis-representation should be corrected. There is a need for this type of collection system as the metal chute that comes with the Delta saws is totally unsat for use in a workshop.	negative
1	Desert Hostage	This was such a great book! I highly recommend it to anyone. I read this book years ago and lent it to a friend who lost it! I have been looking for it for years because I absolutely loved it and I finally found a used copy that I just bought. It was one of the best romance books I have ever read. What a shame that Diane Dunaway hasn't written anymore books. This is a must read!	positive
1	even better the second time around	I'm having a Pears moment. Having re-read Fingerpost, and not being as overwhelmed as I was first time around, I then re-read Scipio - and loved it more than the first time! It is both better written and plotted than Fingerpost (no mean feat) and a delight to read on many levels. The fact that I was about to visit a friend in Vaison also helped, I guess. I'm now reading another of his Argyll novels - light and fun but so different in style - amazing to think all 3 books were written by the same author. I have for some years been waitin on his next "adult" (if I may) novel - but, sadly, he seems to have been silent for some years now.	positive
0	Use occasionally	The vet suggested this leash because the normal leash was making her cough worse. The gentle leader definitely made my hyper 30lb dog easier to slow down, but it didn't stop her from constantly pulling constantly after seeing a squirrel, dog, human, leaf, etc. She pulled so much that it fur under her eyes was rubbed/torn off. I will still be using this collar occasionally, but I am switching to a harness for normal everyday walks.UPDATE: I still use this harness occasionally, but only as punishment. She really hates this lease, and become overly subdued/depressed when she has to put this leash on. Yes she walks right next to me, but I only keep the lease on for 5 minutes or less.	negative
0	Terrible product	I have a 20 cup rice cooker and I bought one of these at WalMart to cook smaller amounts of brown rice. Epic fail. Left the rice on overnight, about all it did was get soggy. I looked at the unit and it appears there is some sort of spring under the burner to keep it from warming when there is no pot in it. The spring seemed to tight to weigh down to the burner with just two cups of rice.	negative
0	Smug and dull.	How does a movie this bad get made? It just makes everyone in it look bad. Poor Eva really comes across as talentless. I had to stop watching after it went nowhere for nearly an hour. Sad.	negative
0	Doesn't Last More Than a Few Months	Very happy with the way this works, good sound, plenty loud enough, but I'm now on my third one. The cord/connections are not robust and something goes wrong where the cable enters the headset resulting in intermittent sound after several months. I really wish it would last longer.Only other complaint is that the mute on/off is not clearly marked, so it can be hard to tell if you forgot to "unmute" it from one call to the next.* Update * I've decided I'm tired of buying new ones. None of them last more than a few months. I have even used cable ties to take the stress off the cables at the ends. I did this for the last 2 of them and used different approaches to relieve the stress, but they still don't last more than a few months. Given that I've bought a lot of these, I have to conclude they are really poorly made and I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere.	negative
1	Great Movie	This is a good movie, but don't watch it if you have never seen the TV series.I have fouind both movies wouldn't be that good if you don't know the back history of the characters involved.Still this is a very good movie for the price.	positive
0	Get the stick blam	Sorry, I bought this and didn't like at all. The consistency of the balm is too solid to easily use from a jar without poking your finger into the balm, flaking it and causing a hole, and once on lips I find I have to smooth out flakes. Actually I've also tried 2 varieties of their lip balm in sticks, and liked those. The consistency is just better in stick form.	negative
0	Honey is Sub-Par	This honey was quite unlike anything I had experienced before. The flavor had a pervasive bitterness to it, unlike any clover honey I had tasted in the past, and I could only describe it reminiscent of extremely over-brewed tea. It made me cringe. Its odor also had a certain disagreeability about it; there was sweetness, yes, but it was accompanied by a faint chemical smell like that of petroleum.Pieces of honeycomb could be seen suspended throughout the honey, which I suppose at least tells you it is authentic, but they are not very pleasant to bite into... like a sticky yet dry piece of shoe leather---impossible to chew through.Avoid this product.	negative
0	Disappointing Movies -- I expected better from this cast	I was so disappointed with this movie -- 75% of it was just bad and it moved slow-- I expected more from this cast. I am now trying to give this movie away and it keeps coming back to me.	negative
1	IGGY POP SAVED MY SOUL!	This album is a snarling, sneering, ageless fist of defiant, punk rock poetry.In this time of glossy, flossed, supermodel, shrink wrapped,over produced shallow pop, "BEAT 'EM UP" supplies a much needed kick in the gut.Iggy Pop has made a album that truly needed to be made. Viva La Iggy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	positive
1	One of the Best Trance compilations ever!	This is one of the best trance cd's i've ever bought. It's a 2 disc set, and although disc one is very good, disc 2 is off the wall! Every track is awesome, the mixing is flawless and you can listen to this cd over and over and over again and not get tired of it. I'm not one to buy my music anymore what with p2p but this was a must have. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes trance and/or dance music.	positive
1	As reviewed	This is an exceptional recording offering Britton and Rastopovich with all the dynamics of two great music people.	positive
1	Wonderful Learning Game	I have played this game with Kindergarten, first, and second grade students. They all loved it! It is not only a great learning game for decoding, but it also helps them learn about vocabulary they might not have known before. The younger students need someone who is older to be the person who flips the main deck, and then judges whether or not they have made a real word. Second graders could certainly use dictionary skills to look up a word in question. Ties are hard to judge, but I usually went with the payer with less pairs. I love this card game, and the students I have played it with just beg to play it again and again.	positive
1	Bartok's Gothic Opera	While I cannot repeat what the other review states, I can only say that he seems to be wrong about Samuel Ramey being Hungarian. Soprano Eva Marton is Hungarian and is doing a marvelous job as the newest victim of the devilish Bluebeard. The story is dark and symbolic. Bluebeard (not Bluebeard the Pirate) is a wealthy property owner who lives in a foreboding castle. He has just married wife No. 3. He warns her not to wander to a certain part of the castle. Naturally, curiosity gets the best of her and she searches the forbidden area despite his orders. What she finds there reveals a darker side to her husband. Eva Marton has a huge voice that fully captures every nunance of this character. Ramey has a terrific voice with all the right earthy and devilish tone for the part. Adam Fischer conducts Hungarian forces in Bartok's great work of Gothic and surreal drama.	positive
0	A Sad follow up to their 1st LP.	When the Mamas and the Papas came out with this album, it was a sad follow up to their 1st. The only decent mix is the mono mix and this CD has the lousy stereo. "I saw Her Again" is not the single version but an extended version with filler music in the middle. "Word Of Love" is not the great single version with added orchestral music but a cheap sounding take that sounds incomplete. And other than a couple of covers, the rest of the music is a throw away. Their new Anthology 4 CD set has this album along with all their other albums on it and the songs have been remastered. As I type this, this CD is going for $87.00????? Get real sellers!!!	negative
1	Not a bad read	I enjoyed this book on my Kindle. I must admit the book is a lot better than the movie. The character of Edward & Bella is much better in this book than on the screen. I found the book and story line a little slow in the middle particularly the romancing of the two main characters (then again, I am a male). I feel this was omitted in the movie. I have purchased all the other books by Stehpanie and I will enjoy reading them on my Kindle. His book was easily read on my Kindle. Well done Amazon and keep up the good work. Buy this Kindle book, it`s wrth the relaxing read. A well written book.	positive
1	Great-ish	I loved this book, and have read it alot, but the only thing I think is that Jessi should get over herself! Its annoying because she thinks Pinky (who is about SIX) is predjuduced, just because she's being mean to her. I mean, come on! I didn't like that bit because it is really annoying how she thinks anyone who does anything that isnt nice is treating her like that because she's black. I don't think that was especially true. But basically it was a good book. Claudia and Stacey both fall head over heals with french skiers, the only thing is- Claudia's "guy" is married! Kristy is captain of the Red team, and gets to competitive. Meanwhile, a whole busload of kids have been stranded in the snow, and the BSC decided to take them on. It was a good book!	positive
0	Yawn	A handsome priest is sent by the Vatican to investigate mysterious goings-on in Seville, after a hacker breaks into the Pope's personal computer and issues a warning that a church there "kills to defend itself." The Church, "Our Lady of Tears" is slated for demolition, and two people involved in its potential closing have already been killed. Perez-Reverte provides long--I'd say overlong--descriptions both of his characters and of Seville, including, for example, list of the names of 27 bars in one section of the city. I read this book because it was on the list for my book-club. Maybe I'm just not enough of a mystery-lover, but it did nothing for me.	negative
0	Blah	Big Jonah Hill fan but this movie is not good at all. It reminds me of the "Adventures of Babysitting" but far worse.	negative
0	romantic comedy?	This movie said it was a romantic comedy. There was nothing funny or romantic about it. The background music was appalling and distracting. It had absolutely nothing to do with the movie or its characters. Other than Bruce greenwood, there was nothing to like about this movie. It was a complete bore.	negative
1	Excellent	This is a great book. Very inspiring and right to the point. (no pun intended) The only thing wrong with it is me!	positive
0	anything but subtle	Unfortunately, this book is just way too obvious. The art of subtlety has been apparently lost on Hartinger, as the prequel to this book suffers from the same defect. For some reason, Hartinger feels the need to spell out every single thing for us readers, as if he doesn't trust us to analyze or critique things on our own (or maybe he just doesn't want us to come up with a "reading" different from what he intended?). I don't know his reasons and it doesn't really matter, because the end result would be just as irritating whatever way you cut it. The writing is too heavyhanded and the same goes for the symbolism and metaphors. Many of the characters are mere caricatures (I pretty much predicted Ian and Em's character arcs from the beginning).	negative
1	A tour-de-force of the revolutionary physics of 1900-1935	One cannot seperate the man from his work and this biography branches into other people who touched upon A. Einstein as well as his science. The incomparable simplicity of his brilliant thought is driven home in the discussion of AT-LAB and GRAV-LAB. The story may be known or not. It deserves good re-telling. This audio book is well done and special thanks to the reader who handles the math examples (less than a handful) with precise language, grace, and accuracy. My complaint is that the book is too short. I woud have liked more of the interaction with subject in his personal life. But still a solid 8.	positive
1	So far so good...	1st replacement filter for my Amana 'fridge. Used the part number off the recommended 'accessories' list for the 'fridge on Amana's site. Saved $10+ by going with Amazon's Subscribe & Save program. Filter fit my Amana and was easy to replace. No leaks and water tastes fine after running a couple gallons or so through it after installation.Original filter removed from 'fridge was marked 'Fast Fill'. This filter is not. Called and spoke with Amana and they said there should be no problems at all using this model filter in the 'fridge. Only time will tell.Satisfied with the purchase so far.	positive
1	LOVE IT!	I bought this because I had a kettle of water on my stove for probably two hours in the morning.I thought of the propane I was wasting. It also took forever for water to boil. This french presshas boiling water so fast that I know now not to leave the kitchen. I love it.	positive
1	Every man's hero!!!	There is no reason for me to write a long review about why this book is so awesome or why Tucker Max is better than everyone. Simply put, this book made me laugh harder than I ever have before. Reading this on my flight from Minneapolis to Tokyo, I had to stop reading several times simply because my stomach hurt from laughing and I had tears streaming down my face. Amazingly funny and completely original, you will enjoy every word in this book, as long as your read the book description and aren't scared away by his fore-warning.	positive
0	For it's time... eh, it was still crap.	When I bought this light it was one of the few LED lamps available for on-camera use that were under $500. Even with that caveat, it really was pretty abysmal. It definitely created a serious hot spot of light (when it had enough reach to hit the subject in the first place) and, most importantly, installing and changing the batteries was so complicated (they had to sit in the compartment JUST so or the light failed it work. I had to keep a piece of gaff tape on the back of the light to help hold them in even with the door in place.)	negative
1	Pretty good, but it takes time.	Great thermal compound, I'm using it on my Corsair H50. I may have applied too much, but it took around 2-3 weeks for the temperatures to drop. At first it was running the same as my stock cooler (45 degrees idle), then, after some time, it dropped to 30 degrees idle. I'm happy with it, I just wish it didn't take so long to cure. Although, it may have been my own fault.	positive
0	Avoid this one!	Purchased this item only two months ago and already doesn't want to start. Contacted Amazon and was told no returns if over 30 days. Troy-Bilt website doesn't accept emails and it's impossible to get a hold of a live person over the phone. Went to a authorized MTD service center to get fixed and they wouldn't honor the warranty because I purchased it from an out of state dealer. MTD Definitely not a customer friendly company.Very bad shopping experience.	negative
1	LOVE IT!!	Okay, first off I'll tell you that all the books in the series (there are four main series, then a couple "in-between" books) are GREAT! However, it gets to be too much. Remembering all the names, what Clan they come from, who their mate is, who there kits are, who their friends/enemies are, who their brothers and sisters are, it's too much!But, I'm not here to bag on the books, I read the first one because a bunch of my friends were going on and on about them, it's a couple weeks later, and I'm just finishing The Last Omen, sooo... I don't know if that says anything other than I LOVE WARRIORS!!!!	positive

And wasn't there already issues in their household even before Peter Weller's character showed up? LOL - So here comes Sam, asking Jake what he thinks about opening a steak house, and Jake gives him attitude! In real life, Jakes character, being in high school, should have gravitated to all the partying Sam was offering; if Jakes character was played by Robert Downey Jr., the movie would have taken a different turn LOL!hahaa, fun times, though, i remember watching this movie in the 80's; it brings back alot of memories.	positive
0	Plug for other products - all fluff	The authors of this book touch on many subjects, giving very little detail in any of them. The legal and accounting loopholes are very basic - and they keep referring you to other products and sites they've written/published - making this book one big commercial. In one area, when talking about the benefits of real estate investment, the fail to even mention costs associated with using equity, cash flow, repairs, etc. I am a new entrant to real estate investing, and would not recommend this book to anyone. It is no different than the get rich quick schemes you see on tv/internet.	negative
0	Upsetting	This game really upset me. I was looking forward to playing it and the game had some stupid qlitch in it that made it unable to start once I installed it. BUYER BEWARE! I could not find help for the problem and so I sold the game. I also read other reviews that the game is good but no real multiplayer, unless you like only one on one battles and no real replayability, I would wait for something better that you can play again and again and it be a new adventure every time. P.S.- Star Wars Galaxies RPG online- check out the reviews! its not superhero but its better than that... super space heros online.	negative

1	Better late than never	I attended all of my son's waterpolo matches when he was in high school. I never knew why the whistle was constantly blowing, why players were sent to the penalty sideline and most alarmingly, why the referee wasn't calling a foul when it looked as though one player was drowning another from underwater. I wish I had had the SportSpectator Guide to help me understand the concept of strategic fouling and how the whistle blowing signaled the types of fouls (all concisely described in the guide). Having this nifty, easy to carry, easy to read referernce guide to waterpolo would have greatly enhanced my enjoyment as a spectator of the sport. And, even better, it would have given me a quick course in the terms and rules of the game so that I could actually discuss the details of the game with my son.	positive

0	Very Dissapointed	I was very dissapointed in this locket which I purchased as a gift for my best friend who was leaving to go to China for a year. I recieved it in the mail and found that is was very cheaply made. It is not of good quality and is VERY LIGHT in weight. I thought something made of silver would be more substantial in weight but this locket is NOT. Also, it is very plain. I realize the style of this piece is simple but when I looked at it first hand it didn't even look well made. The clasp is not even a clasp that jewler's use. It is one that you can pry apart and is not welded together. Over all I was very dissapointed and would never give it as a gift to anyone. I returned it immediately.	negative

1	This is a good product!	When my Mac Powerbook G4's cord started going on the fritz a year and a half after I had gotten my laptop, I wasn't sure what to do. Since the Macbook has replaced the Powerbook, Apple no longer sells the adapter. And to get the adapter online was really expensive. When I found this option, I was thrilled. It has worked perfectly since the day I got it. It is sturdier than the Apple adapter, and so I feel it will last longer. Also, it is white, like many of the Apple adapters, so if you're worried about the aesthetics of your computer, this option is a good one. I highly recommend this product!Macally PS-AC4 AC Power Adapter for Apple G4	positive
0	Not a contender	Someone -- Gramophone? -- recommended this DVD, which just goes to show that you can't trust anybody. I found it almost unwatchable. The heroine (not to do a John Simon) is just too borderline-homely for her part; and much of the acting would arouse hilarity in an average high school production. It might have been a decent night in the opera house, if one were a bit near-sighted, but on video, it just won't do at all.	negative
1	Mind Control Erotica at it's Best!	Given the large fan base for erotic mind control, I'm a bit shocked there isn't a lot of published material out there. If you do want to find it, you have to turn to Ray Gordon, who has written more of these boobs than everyone else combined. Sextro is one of his best in this genre and I highly recommend it. It provides the female POV, which is critical in these tales, and adds some realistic resistance throughout.	positive
1	Great stories!!!	I love reading about the tragic hero and the ultimate tragic hero is Oedipus. This is a must-read for everyone that loves ancient Greek literature. The stories connect well with each other and the translation by Robert Fagles is the best and easy to understand. I borrowed this book for my comparative literature class and I loved it so much that I purchased my own copy and have read it twice so far!!!!! I give it the highest possible recommendation for any reader to have...you will not be disappointed!!	positive
0	Don't bother!	This book was fairly ridiculous. The plot was juvenile, but not completely predictable. It was an easy read, so I did finish it. The characters were not very likeable, and by the end I didn't care much what happened to them. There was a creepy twist at the end that I enjoyed.	negative
1	Easy to take apart instructions	I used the old model (without the digital display) for about two years. The first few times I took it apart to clean, I had the same reaction as many others on the reviews. It was near impossible to remove the filter holder from the tub and I resorted to jamming butter knives in the sides and trying to grip the bottom of the filter hole with tools to get a grip strong enough to remove it. Then, I got the idea for this trick the same way you get a stuck jelly jar open... run hot water over it. Take the dispenser directly out of the refrigerator and run hot water on the outside walls. The out side container expands, allowing you to remove the cold white filter part with ease. I just did it this morning and remembered how frustrating it used to be, so I decided to share my trick with others. Enjoy the water!	positive
0	Like sleeping on straw	I read the reviews of these before purchasing, and saw that some customers remarked these are pretty scratchy, however, others said that by soaking the starch out of the sheets, they would be soft. When they arrived, they had a nice sheen & felt pretty smooth, so of course I threw all the packaging away. I washed them, soaking for 30 minutes to remove any statch and was excited to use my new sheets that night. After taking them out of the dryer, I was horrified to feel how scratchy they felt! I put them on the bed anyway, and didn't make it through the night with them on. They are incredibly scratchy that it feels very unpleasant to have any skin contact with the sheets. I'm very disappointed. =(	negative
0	I've heard better music of most 8-bit console systems	Besides the Terminator being an awesome movie with bad one liners and cornier action scenes, it was truely something of the 80's... I loved it honestly... the sound track does nothing for me as a listener. It doesnt move me like a dance CD. and most the music was made in ten minutes on an electric piano. what a bore, but the nintendo will sound wicked.	negative
1	More MPG	I was after a little better fuel mileage out of my 04 Expedition. Driving around I am getting 1-2 mpg better than i was before. I am no mechanic, it took me a little over one hour to install. This is not the first K&N I have had on a vehicle and wont be the last.	positive
1	Very nice	One of the best I've heard. Compared it to the Altec im600 the ivoice won hands down. The Altec didn't have anywhere close to the low end that the ivoice could produce. Wish the ivoice had a subwoofer output, FM radio and could operate on battery power.	positive

Load of Rubbish

This book must be an attempt to cash in on the interest in this topic. The book is woefully biased, shamelessly propagandistic, and the information the author provides is just plain incorrect on page after page. Factual errors abound. I'm surprised his editors let him get by with so many mistakes. This author can't be passing himself off as an 'historian.' I would recommend just about any other of the numerous authors who examine the history, battles, and personalities on this topic. I find this book useless, sensationalistic, and a waste of time and money.

I Give This Film Five Cowbells

Is Christopher Walken the Man or what? For the first hour or so I thought Walken was essentially in paycheck mode deferring to his young co-stars(Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas, Johnny Golicki, et al), who aren't bad by the way, while he's duct-taped to a wheelchair slowly bleeding to death from a dismembered digit. Then the Walken-ator jumps into action and the wheels are in motion. You watch him size up his captors and turn the situation around to his advantage. Was there any doubt! As a bonus you also get Dennis Leary as an associate of Chris who shows the young turks that they're not ready to play with the big boys. You can say that "Suicide Kings" has a little bit of the Tarantino influence as well as "The Usual Suspects". There is enough originality in director Peter O'Fallon's film to differentiate it from it's predecessors. In a nutshell, "Walken fans, rejoice!"

Water Pic Performance C-

The water pic unit does not prime its small pump very well. One must push down on the plastic water container to get the flow started. The pressure settings are set too low. On my old unit the setting that worked for me was two. The new unit requires a six setting to equal the old unit's performance.

Deja Boo!

David Ash is a paranormal investigator haunted by the childhood death of his sister, he finds escape at the bottom of a bottle. David is sent to debunk the claims of a haunting at the estate of the mysterious Mariell family. While there he is forced to confront his own demons while battling malevolent manifestations in the home. This character also appears in Herbert's "Ghosts of Sleath."Well if you've seen "The Sixth Sense" or "The Others," (Not Herbert's "Others) you pretty much know what's coming by the first few pages. Unfortunately, the element of surprise is the entire foundation of the book, it's what the suspense is building to. With that gone, there are no engaging characters, no sense of atmosphere, nothing to really hold the interest. Worst yet, when David falls in love it annoyed me, as there seemed no basis for it except to up the stakes for the "surprise" ending.

Wow, this book was good, flowed really well and kept me wanting to turn the pages as there were quite a few things happening and I couldn't wait to find out how things panned out. An emotional book about relationships with friends, with mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and daughters. I would definitely recommend this book.

snap, crackle, and pop

This blood pressure monitor appears to be well made and sells for an attractive price. Alas, the nylon material the cuff is made from makes audible noise when it flexes (deflates). As a result, it's next to impossible to tell when the pulse becomes inaudible. This renders it unusable.

I just got done watching aFANTASTIC movie. And I don't use thatword lightly. It's PATHS OF GLORY,one of S.Kubrick's early ones. It's a knockout.Really fantastic writing.While I was watching it, I startedthinking about Tarantino, because hislast one was also a war movie. Ireally like his films, too, but reallycouldn't give a dead rat forInglorious Basterds, and hadn'tfigured out why I was so underwhelmedby it, especially when most of myfriends seemed to like it. WatchingPATHS OF GLORY, it all became very clearto me.

If you enjoy 1940s comic books, this is the one for you!

what the heck, even if I give it only two stars for poor writing, lame charectors, and contrived situations, it is fun in the same way those old Captain America and Bucky cartoons were. I mean, this book has it all...Evil Nazi clones! Jackbooted goons all in black riding SnoCats (as seen on TV in the Man from Uncle)! Loneghrin's Spear (aka the Holy Lance, per Cussler "the holiest relic in Christianity!?!)! .... Butwait, there's more! You can have a bundle of fun laughing at Cussler's grasp of science and history. I always thought Star Trek was the low point of pop science, but no longer, Clive has taken the nadir for himself. .... And the history is even sillier. Cussler has a historian say "it's a fact that the more advanced a civilization, the less they leave behind them". Huh? That makes no sense whatsoever. ....

Hmmmmmmm

I've seen better movies on The All News Channel. Odysseus was played very well, but his part was boring. As well as the rest of the movie. Scylla looks like 1930's cartoons.I drew better stuff in 1st grade.Every single scene looks so fake it isn't even funny. I can probably get more entertainment watching an earthworm. I would not recommend this to anyone young or old. This movie isn't worth a penny in my book!

The Idiot's Guide to Quilting

I read in QuiltersHome Magazine that Mark found this to be on of his most used reference guide books. I have looked at second hand stores for this book since last April and could not find it. Then I decided to see if Amazon had it. Not only did you have it, but even the updated version. The price and shipping was great.Now that I have the book, it is easy to use and is a wonderful reference book. I would prefer to more color pictures but other then that it is really easy for Quilter want-a-b's to understand. It was a really good experience for me to order through Amazon and will do so more often when I am looking for a book. I actually received the book in less than a week. The book is a joy to have and read. If it had more color pictures, I would have given it a 5 star.Sincerely,Cindy

Total trash!

When it comes to war dramatizations, I am a rewlist. "Tora Tora Tora", "Stalingrad", "Band Of Brothers", "Untergang" and "Saving Private Ryan". This flop is nothing but another Hollywood, liberal contribution to the Second World War. Don Rickles, a well known stand up comic a soldier. Donald Sutherland, the hippie tank driver. Really? If true to life American soldiers didn't shave him bald the Germans would have done it. Carrol Oconnor made a convincing "Archie Bunker" however not a military officer. The only redeming actor of the whole lot is Clint Eastwood and he even appeared awkward playing his role. I don't own this movie, won't buy it. Take it from someone who watched it. The Three Stoogrs coikd have made a more realustic war movie. Save your money.

Not great if younger siblings are listening

This is one of my 6 year old's favorite books. Unfortunately my 3 year old has memorized it & thinks it's appropriate to say, "If you don't give me ....., I'm going to yell and scream!" and, "If you don't let me have those....., I'm going to knock them down." I wasn't thrilled about the sexist ending either. Robert Munsch often starts with a great premise, but goes overboard with the rude language. There are so many other ways to get kids to laugh; it's too bad that he resorts to this so often.

Feels like a transition album

It would be very hard for anyone to top 1997's "A Pleasant Shade of Grey." Fates Warning didn't quite manage it with this one. The album has its moments and is a solid effort from a truly amazing band, but it fails to reach the heights of APSOG, Perfect Symmetry, and No Exit.There are a lot of atmospherics and hints of electronic soundscapes, which began on the last album and are evident a bit more here. My feeling is that by the next album they'll have gotten a better handle on this sort of thing and be able to explore it more thoroughly and again achieve that particular surpassing beauty that no else can deliver.But this album gets 4 stars just for "Something from Nothing."

Warner Bros ruining Scooby Doo!

Since Warner Bros. acquired Scooby Doo from Hannah Barbera, they have put out garbage like this movie Abracadabra Doo! I bought this movie yesterday from Best Buy, could only sit through 1/2 the movie then put it in the case and threw it in the garbage. I am a HUGE Scooby Doo fan and this was horrible! I don't know what clowns Warner Bros. has writing and directing the Scooby Doo films now, but they need to go back to Hannah Barbera and ask for their help in bringing back the magic. It's obvious Warner is just in it for a quick buck, not quality. Abracadabra, hocus pocus...make Warner Bros. executives vanish!

INCOMPATIBLE with Intel Centrino processors

I bought the Belkin F5D7230-4 a few weeks back when I bought a new Dell inspirion 600m with Intel Centrino 1.5 GHz.Though the setup was easy (nothing great because all routers are easy to set up). But I found that router kept dropping my connection every few minutes. I finally called Belkin support and they told me that Belkin routers have an issue with some Intel processors.The tech support told me to call regular customer service. When I did, Customer Service said that even if there was a problem (notice they didn't deny it) it should have been fixed by now.FINAL VERDICT: Save your money. Buy Netgear or Linksys routers. If you still want to buy Belkin and if your laptop has intel chips it will be a good idea to call Belkin customer support and verify if that particular router supports your particular processor. Also keep the receipt of your router in case you have to return it to the store. Remember, Belkin will NOT refund your money.

I like these headphones

My review of these headphones is a little mixed and different than the average user. You see; I bought these mainly to use playing my electric guitar through my multi-effects pedal.So first off, for playing guitar they are not perfect, if you use alot of distortion and heavy palm muting the volume seems to drop some; almost like smart sound trying to adjust itself, but its tolerable.Now for stereo music listening I think they are excellent, they have plenty of bass, very clear stereo sound and I can walk around the whole house doing stuff and even go out side and they work fine. They are also very comfortable for headphones and light weight.

Not for me

Not a fan of this product. I have heard that it works, but not for me. I feel like a drug addict when taking chaser because you have to keep track of how many drinks you have and take a number of pills throughout the night. When I'm out having a good time, trying to remember to take chaser after a certain number of drinks is the last thing on my mind. Maybe it didn't work because I didn't follow the exact dosage instructions. I have purchased and reveiwed a similar product called Drinkin' Mate Natural Hangover Prevention Tablets, 6-Count Packages (Pack of 2) and let me tell you, this product is a lot better!

Would have given 5 stars, but.......

This story was absolutely incredible. I listened to this one on CD and I was so anxious to get into my car to hear the rest of the story every day! I absolutely loved the storyline. It was great.The only reason I gave it 4 instead of five is because I thought they could have tied it up in a little prettier of a package. I had two many un answered questions that could have been beautifully answered with one more chapter.But still one of my favorites.....

beautiful recording of original scores

Some things (like good wine) DO improve with age. As Barry is getting older,he seems more productive than ever. Tours,television,writing songs and producing a musical. And suddenly there is this album. His voice is strong and he sings the songs like a young Barry. For me it was not hard to "try and get the feeling again". Barry was and IS still here and is getting better each time.

Loved this salt grinder when I got it in March, 2012, but now the darned thing has seized up completely. Can no longer turn the base to refill - I've even had my husband and a couple of other "strong" men try to turn it, to no avail. I had certainly hoped that this would not be a disposable, but apparently it has become so.Very disappointed.

Positive Role Models

I have been a fan of heavy music since my teen years, and still am now in my mid-twenties. Truthfully I don't even own this album, and frankly, I never will. My reasons? I saw Limp in concert with Ozzy, and was getting into their music which I'd never heard before, when I noticed that throughout the set the lead singer consistently degraded women, calling them names and then getting some cognitively delayed female to take off her clothes and dance around on stage. If misogynism is a marketing tactic for y'all, I'm sure you've lost many a sale from intelligent women who don't appreciate being treated like dirty diaper cakes at a concert we paid good money to see. I didn't pay to get called a easy pants pupett. Just because you have the short man complex dude, don't take it out on us. Screw you. You probably are as ___ as a 3 dollar bill.

Amusing, Fast-Paced Book

Jacquie D'Alessandro is quickly becoming a "must have" author. Her stories are always amusing, loving, and fast paced. In "WHO WILL TAKE THIS MAN?" we encounter a matchmaker, Meredith, who has been hired by the father of our hero, Philip, to find him a wife. After finding him the "perfect" match, Meredith discovers that there is a mysterious curse shadowing our hero. This curse will kill his intended bride two days after they wed. After informing his fiance of the pending doom, the wedding is called off.Meredith, afraid that this scandal will end her career, sets off to find Philip another bride. However, she soon discovers that she falls in love with him herself. Philip, a historian who would rather travel the world than run his estates, also finds himself drawn to Meredith. However, he will not marry her until he has discovered how to end the curse.Filled with humor, this book reads quickly. Highly recommended.

LUCY PEARL IS LUCY DIAMONIQUE.

First, Dawn Robinson formerly of En Vogue should go back to her former music heritage....and listen to "Masterpiece Theatre" and see what she has missed.Lucy Pearl has promise, but this CD just fails to deliver...there are some nice touches like "Dance Tonight" and "Lala", but the album just fades into slow beats that repeat in each song....the album gets very repetitive after the 3rd song, before you know it the album is over and you think you have listened to the same song throughout the album.The vocals are wonderful and the production is great, but Lucy Pearl needs to step it up a little and make the songs sound more diverse.A fair effort at best, I only recommend it for diehard Dawn Robinson fans.

This is the WORST simulation game ever. Once you lose your money, you never get it back. There is no point in it, since your competition keeps getting richer while you keep getting poorer. I never was able to figure it out.-I haven't played it for 8 months

The Glorious Barbara Cook

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Cook. She told me this was her favorite recording of her career; I agree. It is an extraordinary concert. Barbara Cook's glorious performance is perfection.

She's a champ indeed!!!!

I first heard of ms jade on missy's album on funky fresh dressed, and i liked her flow. i soon found out of her 3 singles, downloaded them all and liked them alot. soon i bought the album and at first there were a few tracks i loved, and some i liked less. but now, wow! i listen to the all way through and enjoy each and every track like it was a single on its own!She's got the attitude, the lyrics, the beats - whatever it takes to become the next hiphop queen!Tracks like jade's the champ, she's a gangsta , dead wrong and coutn it off- will have your head noded in no time.songs like get away, really don't want my love are more mellow (but tight as well!)and f course the hot singles big head, feel the girl, and ching ching are all here!besides that, all the tracks are great, but only step up, and ching ching 2 - i like less, they don't have the same power and energy as the others.

scat mat

This product worked well for a short period of time. When it ceased to work about 8 weeks later, close exam showed a wire pulled loose, and broken. No children here, and one escape artist cat. Nothing to catch the wire, I assume the wire was too close to surface, as the wires are about the thickness of a human hair. Disappointed in short survival.

Essential for any Calculus course

In Calculus I, I was taught using computer programs how to solve Calculus problems but never actually learned Calculus. This put me in a tough spot when I had to start Calculus II and didn't know what I was doing. In this course we weren't allowed to use calculators and everything I learned in Calculus I became useless. Fortunately, I came across this book and I was able to teach myself Calculus in a matter of days. I also tried several other Calculus supplements and the only one I can recommend is "How To Ace Calculus" and its sequel for anyone taking Calc II & III. Whether you're dumping a fortune into an education on brushing up on some old math this book is the only supplement you need.

Mis-representation

I just received my new Delta Platinum Edition 36-485 table saw and needed someway to collect dust generated by the table saw and was about to buy item DC001. Thanks to the reviews, I learned that this item will not fit my new saw even though the mfg and writeup by Tool Crib would lead you to believe otherwise. This mis-representation should be corrected. There is a need for this type of collection system as the metal chute that comes with the Delta saws is totally unsat for use in a workshop.

Desert Hostage

This was such a great book! I highly recommend it to anyone. I read this book years ago and lent it to a friend who lost it!

What a shame that Diane Dunaway hasn't written anymore books. This is a must read!

even better the second time around

I'm having a Pears moment. Having re-read Fingerpost, and not being as overwhelmed as I was first time around, I then re-read Scipio - and loved it more than the first time! It is both better written and plotted than Fingerpost (no mean feat) and a delight to read on many levels. The fact that I was about to visit a friend in Vaison also helped, I guess. I'm now reading another of his Argyll novels - light and fun but so different in style - amazing to think all 3 books were written by the same author. I have for some years been waitin on his next "adult" (if I may) novel - but, sadly, he seems to have been silent for some years now.

Use occasionally

The vet suggested this leash because the normal leash was making her cough worse. The gentle leader definitely made my hyper 30lb dog easier to slow down, but it didn't stop her from constantly pulling constantly after seeing a squirrel, dog, human, leaf, etc. She pulled so much that it fur under her eyes was rubbed/torn off. I will still be using this collar occasionally, but I am switching to a harness for normal everyday walks.UPDATE: I still use this harness occasionally, but only as punishment. She really hates this lease, and become overly subdued/depressed when she has to put this leash on. Yes she walks right next to me, but I only keep the lease on for 5 minutes or less.

Terrible product

I have a 20 cup rice cooker and I bought one of these at WalMart to cook smaller amounts of brown rice. Epic fail. Left the rice on overnight, about all it did was get soggy. I looked at the unit and it appears there is some sort of spring under the burner to keep it from warming when there is no pot in it. The spring seemed to tight to weigh down to the burner with just two cups of rice.

Doesn't Last More Than a Few Months

Very happy with the way this works, good sound, plenty loud enough, but I'm now on my third one. The cord/connections are not robust and something goes wrong where the cable enters the headset resulting in intermittent sound after several months. I really wish it would last longer.Only other complaint is that the mute on/off is not clearly marked, so it can be hard to tell if you forgot to "unmute" it from one call to the next.*** Update *** I've decided I'm tired of buying new ones. None of them last more than a few months. I have even used cable ties to take the stress off the cables at the ends. I did this for the last 2 of them and used different approaches to relieve the stress, but they still don't last more than a few months. Given that I've bought a lot of these, I have to conclude they are really poorly made and I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

Get the stick blam

Sorry, I bought this and didn't like at all. The consistency of the balm is too solid to easily use from a jar without poking your finger into the balm, flaking it and causing a hole, and once on lips I find I have to smooth out flakes. Actually I've also tried 2 varieties of their lip balm in sticks, and liked those. The consistency is just better in stick form.

Honey is Sub-Par

This honey was quite unlike anything I had experienced before. The flavor had a pervasive bitterness to it, unlike any clover honey I had tasted in the past, and I could only describe it reminiscent of extremely over-brewed tea. It made me cringe. Its odor also had a certain disagreeability about it; there was sweetness, yes, but it was accompanied by a faint chemical smell like that of petroleum.Pieces of honeycomb could be seen suspended throughout the honey, which I suppose at least tells you it is authentic, but they are not very pleasant to bite into... like a sticky yet dry piece of shoe leather---impossible to chew through.Avoid this product.

Wonderful Learning Game

I have played this game with Kindergarten, first, and second grade students. They all loved it! It is not only a great learning game for decoding, but it also helps them learn about vocabulary they might not have known before. The younger students need someone who is older to be the person who flips the main deck, and then judges whether or not they have made a real word. Second graders could certainly use dictionary skills to look up a word in question. Ties are hard to judge, but I usually went with the payer with less pairs. I love this card game, and the students I have played it with just beg to play it again and again.

Bartok's Gothic Opera

While I cannot repeat what the other review states, I can only say that he seems to be wrong about Samuel Ramey being Hungarian. Soprano Eva Marton is Hungarian and is doing a marvelous job as the newest victim of the devilish Bluebeard. The story is dark and symbolic. Bluebeard (not Bluebeard the Pirate) is a wealthy property owner who lives in a foreboding castle. He has just married wife No. 3. He warns her not to wander to a certain part of the castle. Naturally, curiosity gets the best of her and she searches the forbidden area despite his orders. What she finds there reveals a darker side to her husband. Eva Marton has a huge voice that fully captures every nunance of this character. Ramey has a terrific voice with all the right earthy and devilish tone for the part. Adam Fischer conducts Hungarian forces in Bartok's great work of Gothic and surreal drama.

A Sad follow up to their 1st LP.

When the Mamas and the Papas came out with this album, it was a sad follow up to their 1st. The only decent mix is the mono mix and this CD has the lousy stereo. "I saw Her Again" is not the single version but an extended version with filler music in the middle. "Word Of Love" is not the great single version with added orchestral music but a cheap sounding take that sounds incomplete. And other than a couple of covers, the rest of the music is a throw away. Their new Anthology 4 CD set has this album along with all their other albums on it and the songs have been remastered. As I type this, this CD is going for $87.00????? Get real sellers!!!

Not a bad read

I enjoyed this book on my Kindle. I must admit the book is a lot better than the movie. The character of Edward & Bella is much better in this book than on the screen. I found the book and story line a little slow in the middle particularly the romancing of the two main characters (then again, I am a male). I feel this was omitted in the movie. I have purchased all the other books by Stehpanie and I will enjoy reading them on my Kindle. His book was easily read on my Kindle. Well done Amazon and keep up the good work. Buy this Kindle book, it`s wrth the relaxing read. A well written book.

Great-ish

I loved this book, and have read it alot, but the only thing I think is that Jessi should get over herself! Its annoying because she thinks Pinky (who is about SIX) is predjuduced, just because she's being mean to her. I mean, come on! I didn't like that bit because it is really annoying how she thinks anyone who does anything that isnt nice is treating her like that because she's black. I don't think that was especially true. But basically it was a good book. Claudia and Stacey both fall head over heals with french skiers, the only thing is- Claudia's "guy" is married! Kristy is captain of the Red team, and gets to competitive. Meanwhile, a whole busload of kids have been stranded in the snow, and the BSC decided to take them on. It was a good book!

Yawn

A handsome priest is sent by the Vatican to investigate mysterious goings-on in Seville, after a hacker breaks into the Pope's personal computer and issues a warning that a church there "kills to defend itself." The Church, "Our Lady of Tears" is slated for demolition, and two people involved in its potential closing have already been killed. Perez-Reverte provides long--I'd say overlong--descriptions both of his characters and of Seville, including, for example, list of the names of 27 bars in one section of the city. I read this book because it was on the list for my book-club. Maybe I'm just not enough of a mystery-lover, but it did nothing for me.

anything but subtle

Unfortunately, this book is just way too obvious. The art of subtlety has been apparently lost on Hartinger, as the prequel to this book suffers from the same defect. For some reason, Hartinger feels the need to spell out *every single thing* for us readers, as if he doesn't trust us to analyze or critique things on our own (or maybe he just doesn't want us to come up with a "reading" different from what he intended?). I don't know his reasons and it doesn't really matter, because the end result would be just as irritating whatever way you cut it. The writing is too heavyhanded and the same goes for the symbolism and metaphors. Many of the characters are mere caricatures (I pretty much predicted Ian and Em's character arcs from the beginning).

A tour-de-force of the revolutionary physics of 1900-1935

One cannot seperate the man from his work and this biography branches into other people who touched upon A. Einstein as well as his science. The incomparable simplicity of his brilliant thought is driven home in the discussion of AT-LAB and GRAV-LAB. The story may be known or not. It deserves good re-telling. This audio book is well done and special thanks to the reader who handles the math examples (less than a handful) with precise language, grace, and accuracy. My complaint is that the book is too short. I woud have liked more of the interaction with subject in his personal life. But still a solid 8.

1st replacement filter for my Amana 'fridge. Used the part number off the recommended 'accessories' list for the 'fridge on Amana's site. Saved $10+ by going with Amazon's Subscribe & Save program. Filter fit my Amana and was easy to replace. No leaks and water tastes fine after running a couple gallons or so through it after installation.Original filter removed from 'fridge was marked 'Fast Fill'. This filter is not. Called and spoke with Amana and they said there should be no problems at all using this model filter in the 'fridge. Only time will tell.Satisfied with the purchase so far.

For it's time... eh, it was still crap.

When I bought this light it was one of the few LED lamps available for on-camera use that were under $500. Even with that caveat, it really was pretty abysmal. It definitely created a serious hot spot of light (when it had enough reach to hit the subject in the first place) and, most importantly, installing and changing the batteries was so complicated (they had to sit in the compartment JUST so or the light failed it work. I had to keep a piece of gaff tape on the back of the light to help hold them in even with the door in place.)

Pretty good, but it takes time.

Great thermal compound, I'm using it on my Corsair H50. I may have applied too much, but it took around 2-3 weeks for the temperatures to drop. At first it was running the same as my stock cooler (45 degrees idle), then, after some time, it dropped to 30 degrees idle. I'm happy with it, I just wish it didn't take so long to cure. Although, it may have been my own fault.

In real life, Jakes character, being in high school, should have gravitated to all the partying Sam was offering; if Jakes character was played by Robert Downey Jr., the movie would have taken a different turn LOL!hahaa, fun times, though, i remember watching this movie in the 80's; it brings back alot of memories.

Plug for other products - all fluff

The authors of this book touch on many subjects, giving very little detail in any of them. The legal and accounting loopholes are very basic - and they keep referring you to other products and sites they've written/published - making this book one big commercial. In one area, when talking about the benefits of real estate investment, the fail to even mention costs associated with using equity, cash flow, repairs, etc. I am a new entrant to real estate investing, and would not recommend this book to anyone. It is no different than the get rich quick schemes you see on tv/internet.

This game really upset me. I was looking forward to playing it and the game had some stupid qlitch in it that made it unable to start once I installed it. BUYER BEWARE! I could not find help for the problem and so I sold the game. I also read other reviews that the game is good but no real multiplayer, unless you like only one on one battles and no real replayability, I would wait for something better that you can play again and again and it be a new adventure every time. P.S.- Star Wars Galaxies RPG online- check out the reviews! its not superhero but its better than that... super space heros online.

Better late than never

I attended all of my son's waterpolo matches when he was in high school. I never knew why the whistle was constantly blowing, why players were sent to the penalty sideline and most alarmingly, why the referee wasn't calling a foul when it looked as though one player was drowning another from underwater. I wish I had had the SportSpectator Guide to help me understand the concept of strategic fouling and how the whistle blowing signaled the types of fouls (all concisely described in the guide). Having this nifty, easy to carry, easy to read referernce guide to waterpolo would have greatly enhanced my enjoyment as a spectator of the sport. And, even better, it would have given me a quick course in the terms and rules of the game so that I could actually discuss the details of the game with my son.

I was very dissapointed in this locket which I purchased as a gift for my best friend who was leaving to go to China for a year. I recieved it in the mail and found that is was very cheaply made. It is not of good quality and is VERY LIGHT in weight. I thought something made of silver would be more substantial in weight but this locket is NOT. Also, it is very plain. I realize the style of this piece is simple but when I looked at it first hand it didn't even look well made. The clasp is not even a clasp that jewler's use. It is one that you can pry apart and is not welded together. Over all I was very dissapointed and would never give it as a gift to anyone. I returned it immediately.

This is a good product!

When my Mac Powerbook G4's cord started going on the fritz a year and a half after I had gotten my laptop, I wasn't sure what to do. Since the Macbook has replaced the Powerbook, Apple no longer sells the adapter. And to get the adapter online was really expensive. When I found this option, I was thrilled. It has worked perfectly since the day I got it. It is sturdier than the Apple adapter, and so I feel it will last longer. Also, it is white, like many of the Apple adapters, so if you're worried about the aesthetics of your computer, this option is a good one. I highly recommend this product!Macally PS-AC4 AC Power Adapter for Apple G4

Not a contender

Someone -- Gramophone? -- recommended this DVD, which just goes to show that you can't trust anybody. I found it almost unwatchable. The heroine (not to do a John Simon) is just too borderline-homely for her part; and much of the acting would arouse hilarity in an average high school production. It might have been a decent night in the opera house, if one were a bit near-sighted, but on video, it just won't do at all.

Mind Control Erotica at it's Best!

Given the large fan base for erotic mind control, I'm a bit shocked there isn't a lot of published material out there. If you do want to find it, you have to turn to Ray Gordon, who has written more of these boobs than everyone else combined. Sextro is one of his best in this genre and I highly recommend it. It provides the female POV, which is critical in these tales, and adds some realistic resistance throughout.

Easy to take apart instructions

I used the old model (without the digital display) for about two years. The first few times I took it apart to clean, I had the same reaction as many others on the reviews. It was near impossible to remove the filter holder from the tub and I resorted to jamming butter knives in the sides and trying to grip the bottom of the filter hole with tools to get a grip strong enough to remove it. Then, I got the idea for this trick the same way you get a stuck jelly jar open... run hot water over it. Take the dispenser directly out of the refrigerator and run hot water on the outside walls. The out side container expands, allowing you to remove the cold white filter part with ease. I just did it this morning and remembered how frustrating it used to be, so I decided to share my trick with others. Enjoy the water!

Like sleeping on straw

I read the reviews of these before purchasing, and saw that some customers remarked these are pretty scratchy, however, others said that by soaking the starch out of the sheets, they would be soft. When they arrived, they had a nice sheen & felt pretty smooth, so of course I threw all the packaging away. I washed them, soaking for 30 minutes to remove any statch and was excited to use my new sheets that night. After taking them out of the dryer, I was horrified to feel how scratchy they felt! I put them on the bed anyway, and didn't make it through the night with them on. They are incredibly scratchy that it feels very unpleasant to have any skin contact with the sheets. I'm very disappointed. =(
