0	Propaganda, and those condemned to repeat it.	If you're looking for a book that examines the differences in culture, history, and perspectives that could cause conflict between the People's Republic of China and the United States, this isn't it.If you're looking for a book that explains how the US-PRC "competition" came about, and what can be done about the current state of affairs, this isn't it.If you're looking for a book that, albeit in a more sophisticated manner, drags out all the tired old cliches, phobias, and propaganda that have colored US international relations over the past fifty years, this is your type of book. It's message seems to follow the kind of 'feel good at the expense of others to assuage your own insecurities and neuroses' bunkum that parts of the US government and military contractors have been brainwashing the American public with for decades.With so many choices for superior books on Amazon, this one is NOT recommended.	negative
0	Nav 7100 nightmare for consumers	This product is a disappointment. Freezes. Does not give you accurate or shortest routes. Customer service is unexplainable. The concern for customers is about zero. Once you purchase the product you are on your own. It is a shame that a product this consumer thought would be the best would turn out the worst. Be forewarned. The latest, it does'nt turn on Not to worry it did'nt surprise me at all. I have to purchase another one. Tom Tom or Garmin is definitely #er 1 on my list. You think? why should I have to buy another. Thank you Navigon.	negative
1	My Favorite Comedy	I love this show. It is one of my favorites. The CD arrived quickly, packed perfectly. I am a happy customer and fan!	positive
1	This game requires a 3D Accelerator Card.	This game might require a 32 mb 3D Accelerator Card with full transform and Lightening. This game doesn't work on Windows 95 so ignore what it says on amazon and only buy it if you have Windows 98 or later. Be sure to buy a 3D Acceleration unless of course you're buying it for the other systems. It looks like it's going to be a cool game. As Wolverine you have just discovered that you have a life threatening virous and you have 48 hours to find a cure for it. This probably means that you'll have only a certain amount of time to beat each level. The villains you fight are Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Magneto, Wendigo, and Lady Deathstrike. It looks like a cool game and I can't wait to buy it, a strategy guide to it, and a 32 mb 3D Accelerator Card with full Transform and lightening to play it.	positive
0	It's better for you if you want to do Karaoke in your car	It arrives on time. the only problem is the adapter makes background sound much louder. Sometimes you can't even hear people singing. i think it might be good for you to do karaoke in your car.	negative
0	Sorry Charbroil I'm Getting Me a Webber!	I was very excited about this grill purchase but after a year, I'm giving it to my neighbor and I'm getting me a Webber. I was very dispointed regarding this grill. Way to many flare ups, lots of hot and cold spots, it takes for ever to clean this grill too. The igniter works sometimes but most often it doesnt and the worst part is the burners. Burner 1 gets a flame from only one side, Burner 2 works like it's supposed to, Burner 3, I need to use a match to get it to start.Not impressed, I'm going to Webber.	negative
1	Good quality, nice design	I got these to wear over neoprene knee braces so I got a size larger than I normally wear. Although they are designed for vollyball, wrestling and basketball I wear them for baseball under my uniform pants. They are really rugged and can handle diving for a ground ball or sliding into a base. High quality materials and great padding.	positive
1	Frankenstein Created Cinderella!	OK, first off, this is NOT, NOT, NOT a conventional Frankenstein movie. Frankenstein (the icily attractive and very gifted Peter Cushing) overhauls the deformed body of a dead girl, making her into a gorgeous blonde and using the soul of her lover (which Frank trapped in his lab) to reanimate the body. The result is a naive, gentle girl who periodically goes into attack mode, hunting down the men responsible for the lover's execution & the girl's suicide and slaying them with very sharp knives. This movie is among, other things, a slasher turned inside out, a Burtonesque study of a dysfunctional pseudo-family, and the world's most twisted take on Cinderella...if that appeals to you, check it out. PS-the skin quotient is fairly low, and the gore level nothing unusual, but it manages a few moments of mild creepiness,and it's superbly acted as well.	positive
1	Veggie Tales	Always a good buy. My grandkids ages 2 to 8 watched it several times when they first got it.	positive
1	Richie's Picks: MY LIGHT	Haven spoken with Molly Bang at a conference about MY LIGHT, I am familiar with her passion for the subject matter of this book. That passion has paid off, for MY LIGHT is the best overview to energy technologies in print today for elementary and middle school students. Accompanied by vivid and expansive illustrations that each cover a full two page spread, Molly Bang provides logical and understandable progressions linking solar radiation to hydro, wind, fossil fuels, and solar electric production. Four pages of more detailed information, linking to each of the spreads, is provided at the end.	positive
1	perfect	Its simple yet has everything to different stiches to a compact box to put lil tools in a small great size. Works well, the product is perfect!	positive
1	On Meds? This book is a MUST for you!	If you or a loved one is taking one or more medications, then this book must reside in a handy location. Find out which nutrients your medications deplete from your system. Exhausted and dragging when you're on an antibiotic? Find out why. Then you can supplement your body with the appropriate nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc. Feel like your normal self again. Get the benefits of your meds and know what you need to do to replace what those meds take away from you. An absolute must if you're in the health and nutrition distribution business, as well!	positive
1	childhood nostalgia	One of my all-time favorite movies from childhood. I still ejoy it as an adult and the music is more of an interest to me now, especially now that I have small children. Pure Imagination is the best song on the CD. My wife hates the movie (oompa loompas?), so I can at least play the movie in my head when I'm in the car alone...	positive
0	Settubg up Your Scenes	I found the book to be disappointing in that the shot descriptions were not placed in the order of the edited scene. Rather, all the extreme wide shots were listed together, then all the wide shots, then all the medium shots, etc. This left the reader to guess how the shots were put together. In my opinion, that defeated the purpose of the book. A better approach would have been to list the shot descriptions as a caption to the still photos, and describ intervening shots that could not be represented by a photo.	negative
0	Adam	This dog bed should only be used in a cold place. I have short haired Labrador Retriever that is 3 months old and he could not stay in the dog bed for a long period of time. I usually have my house at 65f to 70f degrees and my Lab would overheat in the dog bed. I would not recommend using this dog bed indoors. Unfortunately, this dog bed will be put to use in the garage.	negative
0	horrible...	We couldn't even finish the movie! It was stupid, not funny and a waste of my money and time, period!	negative
0	Any one with this problem	I rented to this set to preview it. So far discs 2 & 3 (#2 replaced twice) I can't play the second item on the menu. Just waits and then stops. Can't use the chapters to go through it either same thing happens.I would buy this but don't want it if this is going to happen. Has anyone who bought it having problems.I know DVD's you can't return after opening. Looking to avoid problems.	negative
1	Great Grill	We were at our favorite French restaurant in Dallas and had asked how they cooked a dish. This met their description. I measured over the burners on my stove to determine if this grill would fit as some do and some don't. This one fit my stove. It has been getting a lot of use. I have yet to use the griddle side. Fish, beef, pork, potatoes, onions and it's all been good. I am very glad I bought this grill.	positive
0	dead before its time	I can't evaluate how well the swiffer vac cleans up because it doesn't stay charged long enough. The green light means its fully charged. But I don't get 5 minutes out of it and its dead!	negative
1	Cute!	Being of Scottish heritage I had to watch this even though I am an adult! It was a cute story, I would recommend it.	positive
0	Harmless.	I don't think this band was ever meant to be taken seriosly. This is the kind of obnoxiously cheesy garbage that gives Black metal a bad name. They reek of musical ineptitude, so they feel the need to add layer upon layer of cheesy keyboard effects on to their already embarrassing music in a vain attempt to make it sound spooky. At least Darkthrone and Venom were honest about their musical simplicity. Personally, I think Emperor did it the right way on "In the nightside eclipse". They kept the keyboard usage to a minimum and when they did use keyboards, they managed to create cold and dark atmospheres with them. ...	negative
0	Disappointing performance and poor customer service	Tried both Mega and Elite models and finally decided to switch to Litter Robot. The cleaning mechanism is very temperamental and I found I was cleaning out the box and unjamming the rake manually, constantly. A plastic piece on the rake broke during cleaning and the motor gave out after some months. I replaced the rake after dealing with some frustrating customer service people but was told I had to buy a whole new litter box when the motor went out. The Litter Robot, while more expensive, is so much easier and seems to work as advertised.	negative
0	Not so great	I did not even finish this. It was not very interesting and I usually enjoy books of this subject normally.	negative
1	Great Video!!!!	I was impressed with this product. I couldn't find it anywhere else so I was very happy when I saw it. If you like the good old southern gospel music its definitely a good buy!! It even has Old Jim Hamill in it.	positive
1	To Cute	This set looks so cute in our daughters room. We are happy with the style and quality. Sheets did not shrink after washing.	positive
0	THIS IS A SCAM- NO STAR given	This should be illegal and Amazon should have no part in it!! This is no "tribute" attempt but rather an obvious scam trying to trick people not totally knowledgable about Josh Groban into mistakenly buying this CD instead of Josh's. The partial picture on the cover has enough similarities to Groban's physical appearance that adds to the evidence that this is a premeditated attempt at scamming people. No review of the singing is necessary since presenting music is not the purpose of this CD.	negative
0	No doubt this is what drew the line!!	Very much a disappointment! Especially for those of you who were deticated fans to the Talking Heads throughout the late 70's and 80's. The first three tracks were okay, I guess or better yey I should say TOLERABLE. Tracks 4 through 10 on the other hand ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Like fingernails on a black board and it's sad because those of you who could dance to classic hits such as "burning down the house" that listened to this album know there's nothing you can dance to, or really even upbeat for that matter. It was an unfortunately exhausted effort by who even by 1988 was a worn out band. Why do you think later by the following year maybe 1990 they broke up?	negative
0	Worst Tech Book I have ever bought	This books is the worst POS I have ever had the misfortune to buy. The instructions are vague and error-ridden. Excessive details is given to completely trivial items that any OS savvy user would already know. Stay away from this book.	negative
0	Total Recall	I actually liked this movie. It was okay but not a 3 to me. WAY better than the original. Was better than the reviews I received.	negative
1	better than a dog	highly sensitive security alarm, i had to put aluminum foil in front of it to block it from household activity in the kitchen yet still guard the walkway to the front door. my father can hear the barking but he cant hear the door buzzer.	positive
0	Very Cool Premise which turns into a not so good movie!	... I have to say that I was expecting so much more from this film. The idea of death catching up to those who have avoided it makes a really cool premise for a movie, but in the end it just doesn't live up to my expectations. The acting is rather weak and the ending is pretty bad as well. If you don't take the movie too serious you probably will enjoy much more. I will admit the death seens were wickedly cool, but that still doesn't make up for a movie with so much potential that just fails to deliver.	negative
1	Very good!	It is a great hair dryer. My roommate use it every day and very comfortable! It is a very good choice for this price!	positive
1	Shocking but Memorable	This series is gripping. It captures the viewer unexpectedly with some truly disturbing scenes which you go over in you mind days after the showing. The plots are intertwined and each episode has to be viewed twice or more to get all the subtle connections. Love how the scripts are so smart and story lines often skip a few episodes to make you keep watching the entire season. Thanks to all the cast and writers for one of the most interesting series offered in a long, long time.	positive
1	Grusome for the mentally handicapped	Certainly head my attention. Revenge at its ultimate! And a satisfying ending. I could recommend it as a murder mystery.	positive
1	camera memory cards and disketts	Eery orders arriveda at due date and the quality of goods meets what I expected. This makes me use amaxon continually.	positive
0	Size Fitting	I found generally the quality of the item was very good, but the leg length is far far too long and baggy. I ordered a medium size and if I had purchased locally, I would have asked for a refund. Oh well the problem with purcashing over the internet.	negative
1	It made me laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of my seat.	I loved the movie and the book was just as good! It takes the action and drama of the movie and puts it into words that i could have never imagined to use.	positive
0	What's wrong Mr. Archer?	I am an ardent fan of Archer's and have read every single book of his. However, this book confirmed my belief that Mr Archer is going senile. Am I the only one who noticed the likeness of the plot of this book to that of Kane And Abel? How can you rip-off your own book? I simply couldn't believe that any human, let alone an author, could steal his own story line. If you're an Archer fan and want to remain so, I STRONGLY suggest you stay clear of this book. It's reall ynot worth the disillusionment.	negative
0	Okay	This is for beginners, she doesn't give enough time and goes on... has 5 different 10 min routines. Best one is the flexibility work out. I use this DVD as a warm up to get onto serious work out.	negative
0	Overrated	This album has way too much hype, it really isn't that good. I bought this album based upon all the great reviews I have been hearing; even though I couldn't stand to listen to any of the singles that were being over played on the radio. This has to be one of the most overrated pieces of garbage I have ever heard. It lacks everything that Dookie ever was, and from beginning to end is nothing but another bad pop album. I don't know what everyone is talking about I guess.	negative
1	Wonderful product	I purchased this Motorola SURFfboard wireless modem and router for my Mac laptop. Although the enclosed software was not compatible for Apple, the website contained all of the information needed for installation. It is indeed a fantastic product and I would recommend it to anyone who want a wireless combination for internet access.	positive
0	NOT THAT GREAT DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE	After reading the other reviews and being a big fan of Armand I thought this album would knock me off my feet with the classic bouncy beats that Armand is known for.....I WAS REALLY WRONG. The album has this weird hard, and grating affect to it, its very mechanical and metallic, its not the pleasure house ive come to know and love from ARmand, im very disappointed be careful, if house is what your looking for, look away, the one song that made it You dont even know me, is the only joint even remniscent of his style, so take my advice and just get the single	negative
0	Not "luxury" to me	This book contains 209 floor plans, but none of them are distinctive or luxury in any way. Almost half of the book contains homes under 2,500 square feet and the largest is 5,620 sq. ft. As a matter of fact, ony 18 plans are over 3,500 sq. ft. If you are looking for small home plans, there is definitely a variety in this book, though none of them were particularly interesting. I was looking for plans over 5,000 sq. ft., which I usually find in "luxury" books. I see nothing "luxury" about these plain, small houses.	negative
1	Disturbing, quite amazing, I've never read anything like it.	I like the middle section, "Carving babies" best, so unusual. But it is strange that the author actually devoted so many pages to it, which did not have direct involvement with the actual plot. I'm still puzzled over the sudden 180 degrees veer of development. "Carving babies" could have been further expanded into a novel standing by itself. The whole story ended rather abruptly though. An enjoyable read, but leaves a tasteless aftertaste and a heavy heart. Rupert Thomson is definitely unconventional. Highly recommended if you are looking for something different	positive
1	Best Of The Best !!	A perfect listenable cd. It takes you beyond all limits of metal. Really well played by these "Monstermetal" -makers.	positive
0	Bad Construction	The cable I received does not work properly. The left and right channels are crossed.I noticed this problem when I was watching a movie on my computer, and after some trouble shooting, I discovered that the cable was the problem.	negative
0	RETURN Z22	it was incompatible with my system and could not synchronize. i sent it back for a full refund! i need my credit to my VISA account ASAP! from Amazon.com	negative
0	Sugar, Sugar	Sugar, Sugar is the only song on the whole CD which is GREAT. The Other songs sound like [garbage]!!!!!!	negative
1	Excellent resource, I recommend it	I took the PMP exam on 7/29/05 and passed easily. While the PMBOK is a good reference source and includes a lot of information that you can use, if your goal is to pass the exam with the minimum amount of study effort Crowe is an excellent resource.In hindsight I probably studied TOO much. I agree with another review here on Amazon that the exam isn't as difficult as many people think it is. I honestly believe that you can pass the exam using Crowe as your sole source, and never even open the PMBOK or any other study aid. I found the Crowe practice exam to be very much in line the actual exam. Mulcahy's book is very good also, but I found Crowe to be very well organized and easy to understand. So I would make it my top choice.Keep in mind that the goal is to PASS, not necessarily score 95%. Unless your goal IS to score 95%.....	positive
0	I only give it 1 star because that's the lowest you can go!	This is NOT what I expected at all. I simply wanted a cd with the sounds of a rain storm...that's it. I didn't expect to get some cheesy music played very poorly. You can barely hear the rain over the music. The CD states that it's "Rain Storms: Sounds of Nature." Any person should be able to safely assume this does not include music. I guess I assumed wrong. Don't buy this.	negative
1	SHOCKING BUT INPRESSIVE	VON TRIER NEVER THHINKS THINGS IN ORDINARY WAYS. I DON'T FEEL TOO SHOCKING ABOUT ANTICHRIST. HOWEVER, IT'S REALLY HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE PLOT. WHY DID CRITERION CHOOSE IT RIGHT AWAY?	positive
0	Could be a lot better	It's depressing that these scrapers have gained a near-monopoly in retail stores. Most have small manufacturing defects--little chips or protrusions on the edge--which make it impossible to remove all of the ice or frost in one pass. Although the design has the potential to conform the scraping edge to curved glass, the plastic is too stiff for that to happen effectively.I've had much better luck with brass-blade scrapers. These will not scratch most windshields (though I've experienced significant scratching in cheaply-made windshields).	negative
0	A pig in a suit is still a pig	This is a cheap, made-to-fail tire pressure gauge dressed up in a fancy shell, but the flashy marketing doesn't change the fact that this thing is crap.I have observed identical behavior to RaiderSixx. You can take another reading, but it will only change the if the pressure has INCREASED which is pretty much useless.I used mine for about a year and three months (just outside the warranty period) before it failed altogether (it now permanently reads a unit-less "77"). Absolute junk. I can't believe what is being charged given that a $10 digital tire pressure gauge from O'Reilly Auto is likely just as (if not more) durable with a better user experience.	negative
1	No Skimping on Minor Arcana	Everyone else has already pointed out the absolute scrumptious artwork in this deck. I would like to add that the artists did not skimp on the minor arcana,as is so common in many other decks. The entire deck is gorgeous. Instead of being cutesey or cartoony, it actually has(in my opinion) a moody, serious tone. The cats take themselves, and your questions, very seriously. I started out doing a reading for a cat fanatic, humor expected, and instead we were bowled over by the messages. The tonal artwork gives the feel of alchemy, elegance, and undercurrents so often found in the old courts. I highly recommend this gorgeous deck as a means to enter another world to find your solutions. Blessings.	positive
1	Beginners can become experts	Beginners can become experts is the truth with this book. This book should be the first cake decorating book for anyone looking to decorate cakes at home or as a professional. Scott explains simply and with ease how to use these techniques. I use the book daily. Everything I have used in this book has worked the first time. No steps are left out. The DVD that I purchased along with the book was a wonderful tool as well. Contact me at www.nolacakes.com. Steve Himelfarb	positive
0	The Unfinished Civil War?	Southern people need to get it in their heads that the Civil War is over! It ended nearly 140 years ago! Yet we see people that write this kind of stuff that think it is still going on. It is not right to make one of the greatest Americans look like an evil person, but who really only wanted nothing but peace. His heart might have been in the wrong place, but he did NOT start the American Civil War. He raised 75,000 troops at the beginning, but none of that would have been needed if the Confederates had not fired on Fort Sumter in the first place! Don't read this book. Don't read a story of what someone wished had happened! Get a real piece of history and expand your brain. The south will NOT rise again! Get it into your head!	negative
0	The alarm/sound went bad after 30 days.	The sound/alarm went back after 31 days - just 1 day after the return date.Nice quality control by the company! Can't be more precise, right?Bad quality. I am disappointed.	negative
1	Great prep for students	I use this book everyday as review in the classroom. It allows the students to go over work they need help in and prepare for assessment.	positive
1	Made for use with distributor cap	As far as I can tell, these are very nice quality wires. I plan on buying a set of these that actually fits my vehicle.Despite Amazon saying that these wires would fit my vehicle, these wires did not. They are made to be used with a distributor cap. However, the 3.3L 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager does not have a distributor cap, so if you own that vehicle do not buy this set of wires.	positive
1	Killer packaging!	I hadn't seen this film since I had rented at the library while in high school, and it was great fun to relive it again in this DVD edition. The packaging was my main motivator to purchase; honestly, how can you resist a monstrosity like that?! I won't say too much about the film, as many other commentators have done just that, but in terms of features and packaging, this gets an A+. Weeks after receiving this, my roommate's niece touched the book's eye on the cover, and it screamed! Who knew? Great fun, but probably not the best to leave lying around impressionable three-year-old children... :)	positive
1	Really cute piggy bank	I bought two of these for my boys. They are super cute and much bigger than I expected. They came very quickly. Packaging was perfect and they were not damaged (a lot of other reviewers seemed to receive them broken).	positive
1	Original and Classy	This is my favorite placesetting I have ever owned. Quality build, dishwasher safe, and it just looks great. Very classy and very original. Very natural appearance. Definately worth the price in my opinion for those who like quality dining ware.	positive
0	A don't learn Solaris book.	I can't see how a book like this gets published, but there is no other Solaris book so many people are stuck with it. Examples are lame and only touches the surface. Sun Educational Services has excellent books that you get with the course (about $1500/5 days) that's better. Why don't they publish that instead?	negative
0	Blocks plugs	It's probably more of the TV's fault. But, this mount blocked my antenna and power cord slots for my Phillips 22". I bought the JLAB and could plug in everything.	negative
1	Goodfellas meets Boiler Room	If you can imagine a book written that blended these two movies together, bada-bing, there's your book. There's your review.	positive
0	Not good	It arrived at a timely matter, but the picture on my monitor was very purple and I think it was defective	negative
1	2pac is amazing!	The first movie 2pac {Bishop} stars in & has an extreme impact on the watcher it will leave u weeing in your pants, especially when 2pac puts on the crazy look at the locker next to Omar Epps. You have to watch this!	positive
0	No "boom" in this box	I bought this on a friday and returned it a few days later. Very nice to look and and alot of good features like the MP3 capability, but extremely poor audio makes for a big disappointment. Despite the claims of "Deep, rich bass" made by the manufacturer, the unit has a low volume that maxes out at 29. The extra bass button and jazz, classic, and rock settings make very little difference in the sound. It's definitely meant to be kept indoors inside a quiet room because I seriously doubt it could be heard outdoors, or in a noisy environment. This would be a good deal if JVC had installed better sound capabilities.	negative
0	to good to be true	This product is a piece of junk....the description suggests a much better quality item.The holders are not even bent consistantly.If it wasn't so inconvienient I would return it.	negative
1	leggos rock...	grandsons will and Joe ove anything leggo and spent hours assembling the newest acquistion, one each, so there would be no jealousy..	positive
0	Fussy device	I found the static on these to be too much. Depending on where I stood in a room, it could be almost inaudible, but would be overwhelming with walking around. I had to go back to the emitter console often to switch the channels. They're comfortable, and less expensive than several other options, so if they work for you, then it's a great deal.I sent mine back as they had a faulty power adapter, so maybe a different set would work better.	negative
1	Sexy and suspenseful!	I totally disagree with the previous reviewers who said this book was bordering on porn. I have read way more graphic stuff than this. And the more graphic stuff is gross. This was very sexy. I thought Joshua Watts "Wolf" was an incredible hero. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a sexy man's man and a damsal in distress! But, I just love a man who protects his woman with a fierce intensity! It's a fantasy world, and what do we read fiction for? To live in a fantasy world.I have read all three in this series and am praying Lucy carries it on because these three men are some of the sexiest men I've ever read about!	positive
0	Trite and self-indulgent	Only two stars from me for this bust of a film. The inappropriate and distracting punk music, the tennis shoes that appear in one scene, and the dialogue that is most un-18th century, made this movie painful to get through. What we have here is a self-indulgent romp from the spoiled Sofia Coppola. This film was far more Pretty in Pink than Marie Antoinette and really could have been set in any time and any place. There is nothing here for lovers of historical dramas. Keep your children away from this confused mess of a film.	negative
1	SIMPLY AMAZING !!!	Let me tell you, the first Fila tune I heard was "At Home in Space" on a net-radio. Impressed is an understatement. This album is my favorite Fila album yet. Magnificent tunes and grooves that leave you chilled !!! What else can I say ???	positive
1	I CANT QUIT !	Let's face it, not all electronica/soul cd's are worth your buy. Many times I'll try one out and toss it a month later due to unoriginality and boring melodies; but when a friend of mine handed me the dubut album by this woman, I was hooked solid. It's hard to sum this sound up into words, all I can say is that it's a rhythmic journey through soul and fire which takes the listener into various emotional terrains and leaves us looking to buy property there by the end of the album. This album is suggested to you with my highest reccomendation, and I am a musical SNOB so these reccomendations do not come easy!. Check her out, buy the album or find a way to become introduced to this fine quality of music.	positive
1	Need inspiration - read this book	I saw Aron's story on Dateline NBC. When it was mentioned that he wrote a book and it just came out I knew I had to read it. Aron has a very unique point of view - he faced death multiple times, not only in his life but with this one incident. His will and strength, not only physical but mental, allowed him to beat the odds and survive when the end looked all to near. Reading this book was very inspirational. It makes the little things seem trivial although they are important because those things are part of life. Aron had a lot of neat stories to tell about his outdoor adventures. I won't give much away but one of my favorites is where he is being chased by a bear. Read this book, you will be happy you did!	positive
1	Works Great	When my VGAs fan stoped working this was the my 1st pick on how to replace the fan, only reason I didn't go with it right a way was, cause I knew my motherbord had no extra 4 prong, and the ones I could use wouldnt give the 12 volts needed to full power fan, so I found out that I could use my power suply units 6" SATA power cables to power the fan, item I go were: Zalman ZM-MC1 Multi-connector PS to Add Fan, Manhattan, 6" SATA 15-Pin Male to Dual 4-Pin Molex Female Y Splitter, 308977 by Manhattan. Hopefully somone that has the same issue as me, will read this and deside to go down the same road and just buy 2 lil extra things.But all things considered, saved myself a lot more money to buy a VGA that is same or better then what I have now, the fan keep VGA cooler then stock fan.	positive
1	Golden Ornament	This is a really sweet Golden Retriever Ornament. It truely shows just what kind of special Angels these dogs are.	positive
0	Still the worst baseball game ever....	I gave this game a three-star review a couple days ago, after playing it over the first weekend I had it. Then I thought I'd play some more just to be fair, and hey, I had already spent the money anyway. Let me just say that the people who gave this 5 stars are not concerned with actually PLAYING the game. Take it from me, it only gets more frustrating by the minute...

1	Excellent fantasy	This movie is a wonderful classic musical fantasy with superb songs and dancing by Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse. It's a must see/have for anyone who is a musical fan.	positive
1	Web Writing/Web Design	This is a basic get-started manual for the uninitiated, wannabe web designer. The author leads you through basic information in the text and supports it with online material as well. The activities are sequenced to build on previous ones. There are some overestimations by the author of readers' prior knowledge, but basically a recommended text for those who want to create web sites.	positive
0	Whoever remastered this should be enslaved	Okay, we know that the original movie soundtrack wasn't the greatest to begin with (Jack Nicholson singing leaves a very bad taste in your brain) but it had a few memorable tracks: Prologue 1945, Christmas, See Me-Feel Me/Listening to You, and the Acid Queen. So, one would think that with a remastered soundtrack the engineer(s) would make those, and the other tracks, shine.Wrong.The remastered album is dreadful, _especially_ Prologue 1945: it's brash, noisy musical mayhem--it sounds like The Three Stooges tripping and falling their way through an orchestra pit/recording studio...and that's just the beginning. I'm so disappointed with the disc I just may stick in the microwave just to feel good about its self-destruction as it generates a miniature lightning storm and melts into a puddle of muddled musical goo.Save yourself some money and disappointment: buy the DVD and rip it to .mp3 files, instead.	negative

0	DROPS CONNECTION TO ROUTER CONSTANTLY!	Tech support could not help, switching laptops did nothing. A replacement DWL-650+ showed the same symptoms. I then decided to buy a cheap wireless VCNET 22mbps card (9.95$) and it has never ever lost the connection to the router, the signal is consistently stronger (now I can use it in the back yard where as the D-Link) would drop to a red connection and within seconds lose the connect entirely.Just a waste of money, go with a no name brand, they work fine. The D-Link router (DI-641+ or better) does perform brilliantly though.	negative
1	It's funny and wierd.	At first I thought the book would be long, and hard, and that it would be dumb. But it ended up making me laugh and want to read more. I reccomend it to people who like to read humorous and clever books.	positive
1	Full of useful information	I found this book to be extremely helpful and very easy to read. It's advice was very practical and made alot of sense. Especially helpful for the beginner gardner, helps plan out longer growing seasons, and planting dates so you don't get one type of crop in all at the same time. A must read if you want to know what plants to grow, and the best way to do it.	positive
1	Good warm story, a little slow at times but many fine moments	There are pithy messages here, for cancer patients, survivors, and anyone willing to look at mortality and what it brings up in the heart about how we could choose to live our lives, before and after a diagnosis. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are well cast, in somewhat stereotypical but great counterpoint leads. Sorrow and joy, wealth and limitations (of the mind as well as earnings) faith and redemption. Well worth seeing, and starting to think about our own Bucket Lists :)	positive
1	Only Game My Wife Loves to Play	Well my wife will not play any games other then card games and she loves this one. I think it might be that she wins at it more then loses. Hard decisions are to be made from start to finish and is very stressful to me :) The game does have a little to high of a luck factor for my taste but if you play best out of three it balances out fairly well.	positive

0	Not what I expected.	I thought this puppet would really sing the songs. Instead it makes a somewhat irratating noise for each note. If you don't know what song it is "singing", it doesn't sound right because you have to know the beat or rhythm of the song. I have purchased a dog about a year ago that sings a love song by the Carpenters when you move the mouth it sings a phrase at a time. I guess I had different expectations for this little cat.On the Pros side - it is cute and a durable toy.	negative
1	Guillotine (Card Game)	This is a fun card game. It will teach you to be stratigist, much like a good Chess player. More fun with five players; even more so if you use the pomp and circustance setting up and playing the game. Can be played with less and great for teaching the strategy to a youngster, who I guarantee will leave you with your pants (or -ies) in shreads the second time you play with the kid in the group. Maybe you'll be lucky in ordering and not have to wait three months for delivery, if the vendor has adequate funding resources, but eventually you will be satisfied, and, I think, happy with your purchase. Ordering here you stand to save one or two bucks. Worth the wait.	positive

0	This book is lacking on the "how to's"	I'm always interested in new ideas for parties because I give at least 4 big (50 people or more) parties a year. This book did have plenty of ideas but very little in the way of concrete details. For example, under the MAGIC idea on page 94, Patty Sachs suggests for activities "the guests perform amazing & amusing feats" and that the host "hire a professional magician to really dazzle & bewilder your guests." This is helpful? This book is filled with truely lame and uninspired suggestions. A big disappointment. If you are looking for a party book, The Penny Whistle series is the way to go.	negative
0	This box set isnt necessary	Considering that theyve only released one really good album in the last ten years(a lot of people dont cound the s/t, generation swine didnt sound like motley), and that theyve released ANOTHER greatest hits album and two catalog reissues(the only differenc being the newer ones have a video), I see no reason to get these box sets other than if you dont have the albums.	negative
1	Belle	Beautiful book. Love the sketches coupled with the selected quotes and excerpts. Makes you feel like you're there, through the ages. A nice, before bed or coffee table book.	positive
0	overwritten Mountains of Madness II	One of a number of novella sequels to Lovecraft plus "The Thing" (actually mentioned in text!) . It repeats several times over. Could see where it was going long before trailing off into completely predictable recycling of one explicit idea. Jones or Price could have edited manuscript into one of their compendia and made it worthwhile instead of hard to read. Not going to get Book II.	negative
0	Grease 2	This movie was the worse movie ever made. Michelle Pfeiffer (and all involved, for that matter) should be ashamed she ever made this. The acting was horrible, the music was even worse, if that's possible. It shouldn't even get 1 star.	negative
1	A must-see family movie	I saw this movie when I was very young and I never get tired of seeing it. I've made sure all three of my children have had the chance to watch it. I've had my name on Amazon's list to notify me when it was available on video and I can't wait to own it. Jerry Lewis is truly funny and the songs are memorable. It's a great movie!	positive
1	Tour-du-Force of Rockin' Music	Webb's "Town and Country" is a top-notch collection of seminal tunes that helped shape modern music. Unafraid to stand up to the whores and posers of the industry, Webb and his Econoline take real music to the people. Buy this CD for yourself. Buy copies for your friends. Put some in storage for when real music is a collector's item and it will be worth a fortune.	positive

Propaganda, and those condemned to repeat it.

If you're looking for a book that examines the differences in culture, history, and perspectives that could cause conflict between the People's Republic of China and the United States, this isn't it.If you're looking for a book that explains how the US-PRC "competition" came about, and what can be done about the current state of affairs, this isn't it.If you're looking for a book that, albeit in a more sophisticated manner, drags out all the tired old cliches, phobias, and propaganda that have colored US international relations over the past fifty years, this is your type of book. It's message seems to follow the kind of 'feel good at the expense of others to assuage your own insecurities and neuroses' bunkum that parts of the US government and military contractors have been brainwashing the American public with for decades.With so many choices for superior books on Amazon, this one is NOT recommended.

This product is a disappointment. Freezes. Does not give you accurate or shortest routes. Customer service is unexplainable. The concern for customers is about zero. Once you purchase the product you are on your own. It is a shame that a product this consumer thought would be the best would turn out the worst. Be forewarned. The latest, it does'nt turn on Not to worry it did'nt surprise me at all. I have to purchase another one. Tom Tom or Garmin is definitely #er 1 on my list.

This game requires a 3D Accelerator Card.

This game might require a 32 mb 3D Accelerator Card with full transform and Lightening. This game doesn't work on Windows 95 so ignore what it says on amazon and only buy it if you have Windows 98 or later. Be sure to buy a 3D Acceleration unless of course you're buying it for the other systems. It looks like it's going to be a cool game. As Wolverine you have just discovered that you have a life threatening virous and you have 48 hours to find a cure for it. This probably means that you'll have only a certain amount of time to beat each level. The villains you fight are Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Magneto, Wendigo, and Lady Deathstrike. It looks like a cool game and I can't wait to buy it, a strategy guide to it, and a 32 mb 3D Accelerator Card with full Transform and lightening to play it.

Sorry Charbroil I'm Getting Me a Webber!

I was very excited about this grill purchase but after a year, I'm giving it to my neighbor and I'm getting me a Webber. I was very dispointed regarding this grill. Way to many flare ups, lots of hot and cold spots, it takes for ever to clean this grill too. The igniter works sometimes but most often it doesnt and the worst part is the burners. Burner 1 gets a flame from only one side, Burner 2 works like it's supposed to, Burner 3, I need to use a match to get it to start.Not impressed, I'm going to Webber.

Good quality, nice design

I got these to wear over neoprene knee braces so I got a size larger than I normally wear. Although they are designed for vollyball, wrestling and basketball I wear them for baseball under my uniform pants. They are really rugged and can handle diving for a ground ball or sliding into a base. High quality materials and great padding.

Frankenstein Created Cinderella!

OK, first off, this is NOT, NOT, NOT a conventional Frankenstein movie. Frankenstein (the icily attractive and very gifted Peter Cushing) overhauls the deformed body of a dead girl, making her into a gorgeous blonde and using the soul of her lover (which Frank trapped in his lab) to reanimate the body. The result is a naive, gentle girl who periodically goes into attack mode, hunting down the men responsible for the lover's execution & the girl's suicide and slaying them with very sharp knives. This movie is among, other things, a slasher turned inside out, a Burtonesque study of a dysfunctional pseudo-family, and the world's most twisted take on Cinderella...if that appeals to you, check it out. PS-the skin quotient is fairly low, and the gore level nothing unusual, but it manages a few moments of mild creepiness,and it's superbly acted as well.

Haven spoken with Molly Bang at a conference about MY LIGHT, I am familiar with her passion for the subject matter of this book. That passion has paid off, for MY LIGHT is the best overview to energy technologies in print today for elementary and middle school students. Accompanied by vivid and expansive illustrations that each cover a full two page spread, Molly Bang provides logical and understandable progressions linking solar radiation to hydro, wind, fossil fuels, and solar electric production. Four pages of more detailed information, linking to each of the spreads, is provided at the end.

If you or a loved one is taking one or more medications, then this book must reside in a handy location. Find out which nutrients your medications deplete from your system. Exhausted and dragging when you're on an antibiotic? Find out why. Then you can supplement your body with the appropriate nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc. Feel like your normal self again. Get the benefits of your meds and know what you need to do to replace what those meds take away from you. An absolute must if you're in the health and nutrition distribution business, as well!

childhood nostalgia

One of my all-time favorite movies from childhood. I still ejoy it as an adult and the music is more of an interest to me now, especially now that I have small children. Pure Imagination is the best song on the CD. My wife hates the movie (oompa loompas?), so I can at least play the movie in my head when I'm in the car alone...

Settubg up Your Scenes

I found the book to be disappointing in that the shot descriptions were not placed in the order of the edited scene. Rather, all the extreme wide shots were listed together, then all the wide shots, then all the medium shots, etc. This left the reader to guess how the shots were put together. In my opinion, that defeated the purpose of the book. A better approach would have been to list the shot descriptions as a caption to the still photos, and describ intervening shots that could not be represented by a photo.

This dog bed should only be used in a cold place. I have short haired Labrador Retriever that is 3 months old and he could not stay in the dog bed for a long period of time. I usually have my house at 65f to 70f degrees and my Lab would overheat in the dog bed. I would not recommend using this dog bed indoors. Unfortunately, this dog bed will be put to use in the garage.

Great Grill

We were at our favorite French restaurant in Dallas and had asked how they cooked a dish. This met their description. I measured over the burners on my stove to determine if this grill would fit as some do and some don't. This one fit my stove. It has been getting a lot of use. I have yet to use the griddle side. Fish, beef, pork, potatoes, onions and it's all been good. I am very glad I bought this grill.

Harmless.

I don't think this band was ever meant to be taken seriosly. This is the kind of obnoxiously cheesy garbage that gives Black metal a bad name. They reek of musical ineptitude, so they feel the need to add layer upon layer of cheesy keyboard effects on to their already embarrassing music in a vain attempt to make it sound spooky. At least Darkthrone and Venom were honest about their musical simplicity. Personally, I think Emperor did it the right way on "In the nightside eclipse". They kept the keyboard usage to a minimum and when they did use keyboards, they managed to create cold and dark atmospheres with them. ...

Disappointing performance and poor customer service

Tried both Mega and Elite models and finally decided to switch to Litter Robot. The cleaning mechanism is very temperamental and I found I was cleaning out the box and unjamming the rake manually, constantly. A plastic piece on the rake broke during cleaning and the motor gave out after some months. I replaced the rake after dealing with some frustrating customer service people but was told I had to buy a whole new litter box when the motor went out. The Litter Robot, while more expensive, is so much easier and seems to work as advertised.

THIS IS A SCAM- NO STAR given

This should be illegal and Amazon should have no part in it!! This is no "tribute" attempt but rather an obvious scam trying to trick people not totally knowledgable about Josh Groban into mistakenly buying this CD instead of Josh's. The partial picture on the cover has enough similarities to Groban's physical appearance that adds to the evidence that this is a premeditated attempt at scamming people. No review of the singing is necessary since presenting music is not the purpose of this CD.

No doubt this is what drew the line!!

Very much a disappointment! Especially for those of you who were deticated fans to the Talking Heads throughout the late 70's and 80's. The first three tracks were okay, I guess or better yey I should say TOLERABLE. Tracks 4 through 10 on the other hand ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Like fingernails on a black board and it's sad because those of you who could dance to classic hits such as "burning down the house" that listened to this album know there's nothing you can dance to, or really even upbeat for that matter. It was an unfortunately exhausted effort by who even by 1988 was a worn out band. Why do you think later by the following year maybe 1990 they broke up?

Very Cool Premise which turns into a not so good movie!

... I have to say that I was expecting so much more from this film. The idea of death catching up to those who have avoided it makes a really cool premise for a movie, but in the end it just doesn't live up to my expectations. The acting is rather weak and the ending is pretty bad as well. If you don't take the movie too serious you probably will enjoy much more. I will admit the death seens were wickedly cool, but that still doesn't make up for a movie with so much potential that just fails to deliver.

Shocking but Memorable

This series is gripping. It captures the viewer unexpectedly with some truly disturbing scenes which you go over in you mind days after the showing. The plots are intertwined and each episode has to be viewed twice or more to get all the subtle connections.

Thanks to all the cast and writers for one of the most interesting series offered in a long, long time.

What's wrong Mr. Archer?

I am an ardent fan of Archer's and have read every single book of his. However, this book confirmed my belief that Mr Archer is going senile. Am I the only one who noticed the likeness of the plot of this book to that of Kane And Abel? How can you rip-off your own book? I simply couldn't believe that any human, let alone an author, could steal his own story line. If you're an Archer fan and want to remain so, I STRONGLY suggest you stay clear of this book. It's reall ynot worth the disillusionment.

This album has way too much hype, it really isn't that good. I bought this album based upon all the great reviews I have been hearing; even though I couldn't stand to listen to any of the singles that were being over played on the radio.

Not "luxury" to me

This book contains 209 floor plans, but none of them are distinctive or luxury in any way. Almost half of the book contains homes under 2,500 square feet and the largest is 5,620 sq. ft. As a matter of fact, ony 18 plans are over 3,500 sq. ft. If you are looking for small home plans, there is definitely a variety in this book, though none of them were particularly interesting. I was looking for plans over 5,000 sq. ft., which I usually find in "luxury" books. I see nothing "luxury" about these plain, small houses.

Disturbing, quite amazing, I've never read anything like it.

I like the middle section, "Carving babies" best, so unusual. But it is strange that the author actually devoted so many pages to it, which did not have direct involvement with the actual plot. I'm still puzzled over the sudden 180 degrees veer of development. "Carving babies" could have been further expanded into a novel standing by itself. The whole story ended rather abruptly though. An enjoyable read, but leaves a tasteless aftertaste and a heavy heart. Rupert Thomson is definitely unconventional. Highly recommended if you are looking for something different

Excellent resource, I recommend it

I took the PMP exam on 7/29/05 and passed easily. While the PMBOK is a good reference source and includes a lot of information that you can use, if your goal is to pass the exam with the minimum amount of study effort Crowe is an excellent resource.In hindsight I probably studied TOO much. I agree with another review here on Amazon that the exam isn't as difficult as many people think it is. I honestly believe that you can pass the exam using Crowe as your sole source, and never even open the PMBOK or any other study aid. I found the Crowe practice exam to be very much in line the actual exam. Mulcahy's book is very good also, but I found Crowe to be very well organized and easy to understand. So I would make it my top choice.Keep in mind that the goal is to PASS, not necessarily score 95%. Unless your goal IS to score 95%.....

Could be a lot better

It's depressing that these scrapers have gained a near-monopoly in retail stores. Most have small manufacturing defects--little chips or protrusions on the edge--which make it impossible to remove all of the ice or frost in one pass. Although the design has the potential to conform the scraping edge to curved glass, the plastic is too stiff for that to happen effectively.I've had much better luck with brass-blade scrapers. These will not scratch most windshields (though I've experienced significant scratching in cheaply-made windshields).

This is a cheap, made-to-fail tire pressure gauge dressed up in a fancy shell, but the flashy marketing doesn't change the fact that this thing is crap.I have observed identical behavior to RaiderSixx. You can take another reading, but it will only change the if the pressure has *INCREASED* which is pretty much useless.I used mine for about a year and three months (just outside the warranty period) before it failed altogether (it now permanently reads a unit-less "77"). Absolute junk. I can't believe what is being charged given that a $10 digital tire pressure gauge from O'Reilly Auto is likely just as (if not more) durable with a better user experience.

No Skimping on Minor Arcana

Everyone else has already pointed out the absolute scrumptious artwork in this deck. I would like to add that the artists did not skimp on the minor arcana,as is so common in many other decks. The entire deck is gorgeous. Instead of being cutesey or cartoony, it actually has(in my opinion) a moody, serious tone. The cats take themselves, and your questions, very seriously. I started out doing a reading for a cat fanatic, humor expected, and instead we were bowled over by the messages. The tonal artwork gives the feel of alchemy, elegance, and undercurrents so often found in the old courts. I highly recommend this gorgeous deck as a means to enter another world to find your solutions. Blessings.

The Unfinished Civil War?

Southern people need to get it in their heads that the Civil War is over! It ended nearly 140 years ago! Yet we see people that write this kind of stuff that think it is still going on. It is not right to make one of the greatest Americans look like an evil person, but who really only wanted nothing but peace. His heart might have been in the wrong place, but he did NOT start the American Civil War. He raised 75,000 troops at the beginning, but none of that would have been needed if the Confederates had not fired on Fort Sumter in the first place! Don't read this book. Don't read a story of what someone wished had happened! Get a real piece of history and expand your brain. The south will NOT rise again! Get it into your head!

Made for use with distributor cap

As far as I can tell, these are very nice quality wires. I plan on buying a set of these that actually fits my vehicle.Despite Amazon saying that these wires would fit my vehicle, these wires did not. They are made to be used with a distributor cap. However, the 3.3L 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager does not have a distributor cap, so if you own that vehicle do not buy this set of wires.

Killer packaging!

I hadn't seen this film since I had rented at the library while in high school, and it was great fun to relive it again in this DVD edition. The packaging was my main motivator to purchase; honestly, how can you resist a monstrosity like that?! I won't say too much about the film, as many other commentators have done just that, but in terms of features and packaging, this gets an A+. Weeks after receiving this, my roommate's niece touched the book's eye on the cover, and it screamed! Who knew? Great fun, but probably not the best to leave lying around impressionable three-year-old children... :)

Really cute piggy bank

I bought two of these for my boys. They are super cute and much bigger than I expected. They came very quickly. Packaging was perfect and they were not damaged (a lot of other reviewers seemed to receive them broken).

Original and Classy

This is my favorite placesetting I have ever owned. Quality build, dishwasher safe, and it just looks great. Very classy and very original. Very natural appearance. Definately worth the price in my opinion for those who like quality dining ware.

A don't learn Solaris book.

I can't see how a book like this gets published, but there is no other Solaris book so many people are stuck with it. Examples are lame and only touches the surface. Sun Educational Services has excellent books that you get with the course (about $1500/5 days) that's better. Why don't they publish that instead?

Blocks plugs

It's probably more of the TV's fault. But, this mount blocked my antenna and power cord slots for my Phillips 22". I bought the JLAB and could plug in everything.

No "boom" in this box

I bought this on a friday and returned it a few days later. Very nice to look and and alot of good features like the MP3 capability, but extremely poor audio makes for a big disappointment. Despite the claims of "Deep, rich bass" made by the manufacturer, the unit has a low volume that maxes out at 29. The extra bass button and jazz, classic, and rock settings make very little difference in the sound. It's definitely meant to be kept indoors inside a quiet room because I seriously doubt it could be heard outdoors, or in a noisy environment. This would be a good deal if JVC had installed better sound capabilities.

Fussy device

I found the static on these to be too much. Depending on where I stood in a room, it could be almost inaudible, but would be overwhelming with walking around. I had to go back to the emitter console often to switch the channels. They're comfortable, and less expensive than several other options, so if they work for you, then it's a great deal.I sent mine back as they had a faulty power adapter, so maybe a different set would work better.

Sexy and suspenseful!

I totally disagree with the previous reviewers who said this book was bordering on porn. I have read way more graphic stuff than this. And the more graphic stuff is gross. This was very sexy. I thought Joshua Watts "Wolf" was an incredible hero. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a sexy man's man and a damsal in distress! But, I just love a man who protects his woman with a fierce intensity! It's a fantasy world, and what do we read fiction for? To live in a fantasy world.I have read all three in this series and am praying Lucy carries it on because these three men are some of the sexiest men I've ever read about!

Trite and self-indulgent

Only two stars from me for this bust of a film. The inappropriate and distracting punk music, the tennis shoes that appear in one scene, and the dialogue that is most un-18th century, made this movie painful to get through. What we have here is a self-indulgent romp from the spoiled Sofia Coppola. This film was far more Pretty in Pink than Marie Antoinette and really could have been set in any time and any place. There is nothing here for lovers of historical dramas. Keep your children away from this confused mess of a film.

I CANT QUIT !

Let's face it, not all electronica/soul cd's are worth your buy. Many times I'll try one out and toss it a month later due to unoriginality and boring melodies; but when a friend of mine handed me the dubut album by this woman, I was hooked solid. It's hard to sum this sound up into words, all I can say is that it's a rhythmic journey through soul and fire which takes the listener into various emotional terrains and leaves us looking to buy property there by the end of the album. This album is suggested to you with my highest reccomendation, and I am a musical SNOB so these reccomendations do not come easy!. Check her out, buy the album or find a way to become introduced to this fine quality of music.

Need inspiration - read this book

I saw Aron's story on Dateline NBC. When it was mentioned that he wrote a book and it just came out I knew I had to read it. Aron has a very unique point of view - he faced death multiple times, not only in his life but with this one incident. His will and strength, not only physical but mental, allowed him to beat the odds and survive when the end looked all to near. Reading this book was very inspirational. It makes the little things seem trivial although they are important because those things are part of life. Aron had a lot of neat stories to tell about his outdoor adventures. I won't give much away but one of my favorites is where he is being chased by a bear. Read this book, you will be happy you did!

Works Great

When my VGAs fan stoped working this was the my 1st pick on how to replace the fan, only reason I didn't go with it right a way was, cause I knew my motherbord had no extra 4 prong, and the ones I could use wouldnt give the 12 volts needed to full power fan, so I found out that I could use my power suply units 6" SATA power cables to power the fan, item I go were: Zalman ZM-MC1 Multi-connector PS to Add Fan, Manhattan, 6" SATA 15-Pin Male to Dual 4-Pin Molex Female Y Splitter, 308977 by Manhattan. Hopefully somone that has the same issue as me, will read this and deside to go down the same road and just buy 2 lil extra things.But all things considered, saved myself a lot more money to buy a VGA that is same or better then what I have now, the fan keep VGA cooler then stock fan.

Still the worst baseball game ever....

I gave this game a three-star review a couple days ago, after playing it over the first weekend I had it. Then I thought I'd play some more just to be fair, and hey, I had already spent the money anyway. Let me just say that the people who gave this 5 stars are not concerned with actually PLAYING the game. Take it from me, it only gets more frustrating by the minute... Now it's only worth one star for the graphics. I'm not wasting anymore time with Sega; what a letdown since NFL 2K. I placed an ad for my Dreamcast in the local paper and will wait for PS2. That's right, WSB2K1 has actually driven me over the edge. I'm done.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME.

Web Writing/Web Design

This is a basic get-started manual for the uninitiated, wannabe web designer. The author leads you through basic information in the text and supports it with online material as well. The activities are sequenced to build on previous ones. There are some overestimations by the author of readers' prior knowledge, but basically a recommended text for those who want to create web sites.

Whoever remastered this should be enslaved

Okay, we know that the original movie soundtrack wasn't the greatest to begin with (Jack Nicholson singing leaves a very bad taste in your brain) but it had a few memorable tracks: Prologue 1945, Christmas, See Me-Feel Me/Listening to You, and the Acid Queen. So, one would think that with a remastered soundtrack the engineer(s) would make those, and the other tracks, shine.Wrong.The remastered album is dreadful, _especially_ Prologue 1945: it's brash, noisy musical mayhem--it sounds like The Three Stooges tripping and falling their way through an orchestra pit/recording studio...and that's just the beginning. I'm so disappointed with the disc I just may stick in the microwave just to feel good about its self-destruction as it generates a miniature lightning storm and melts into a puddle of muddled musical goo.Save yourself some money and disappointment: buy the DVD and rip it to .mp3 files, instead.

DROPS CONNECTION TO ROUTER CONSTANTLY!

Tech support could not help, switching laptops did nothing. A replacement DWL-650+ showed the same symptoms. I then decided to buy a cheap wireless VCNET 22mbps card (9.95$) and it has never ever lost the connection to the router, the signal is consistently stronger (now I can use it in the back yard where as the D-Link) would drop to a red connection and within seconds lose the connect entirely.Just a waste of money, go with a no name brand, they work fine. The D-Link router (DI-641+ or better) does perform brilliantly though.

Full of useful information

I found this book to be extremely helpful and very easy to read. It's advice was very practical and made alot of sense. Especially helpful for the beginner gardner, helps plan out longer growing seasons, and planting dates so you don't get one type of crop in all at the same time. A must read if you want to know what plants to grow, and the best way to do it.

Good warm story, a little slow at times but many fine moments

There are pithy messages here, for cancer patients, survivors, and anyone willing to look at mortality and what it brings up in the heart about how we could choose to live our lives, before and after a diagnosis. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are well cast, in somewhat stereotypical but great counterpoint leads. Sorrow and joy, wealth and limitations (of the mind as well as earnings) faith and redemption. Well worth seeing, and starting to think about our own Bucket Lists :)

Only Game My Wife Loves to Play

Well my wife will not play any games other then card games and she loves this one. I think it might be that she wins at it more then loses. Hard decisions are to be made from start to finish and is very stressful to me :) The game does have a little to high of a luck factor for my taste but if you play best out of three it balances out fairly well.

Not what I expected.

I thought this puppet would really sing the songs. Instead it makes a somewhat irratating noise for each note. If you don't know what song it is "singing", it doesn't sound right because you have to know the beat or rhythm of the song. I have purchased a dog about a year ago that sings a love song by the Carpenters when you move the mouth it sings a phrase at a time. I guess I had different expectations for this little cat.On the Pros side - it is cute and a durable toy.

Guillotine (Card Game)

This is a fun card game. It will teach you to be stratigist, much like a good Chess player. More fun with five players; even more so if you use the pomp and circustance setting up and playing the game. Can be played with less and great for teaching the strategy to a youngster, who I guarantee will leave you with your pants (or -ies) in shreads the second time you play with the kid in the group. Maybe you'll be lucky in ordering and not have to wait three months for delivery, if the vendor has adequate funding resources, but eventually you will be satisfied, and, I think, happy with your purchase. Ordering here you stand to save one or two bucks. Worth the wait.

This book is lacking on the "how to's"

I'm always interested in new ideas for parties because I give at least 4 big (50 people or more) parties a year. This book did have plenty of ideas but very little in the way of concrete details. For example, under the MAGIC idea on page 94, Patty Sachs suggests for activities "the guests perform amazing & amusing feats" and that the host "hire a professional magician to really dazzle & bewilder your guests." This is helpful? This book is filled with truely lame and uninspired suggestions. A big disappointment. If you are looking for a party book, The Penny Whistle series is the way to go.

This box set isnt necessary

Considering that theyve only released one really good album in the last ten years(a lot of people dont cound the s/t, generation swine didnt sound like motley), and that theyve released ANOTHER greatest hits album and two catalog reissues(the only differenc being the newer ones have a video), I see no reason to get these box sets other than if you dont have the albums.

overwritten Mountains of Madness II

One of a number of novella sequels to Lovecraft plus "The Thing" (actually mentioned in text!) . It repeats several times over. Could see where it was going long before trailing off into completely predictable recycling of one explicit idea. Jones or Price could have edited manuscript into one of their compendia and made it worthwhile instead of hard to read. Not going to get Book II.

I saw this movie when I was very young and I never get tired of seeing it. I've made sure all three of my children have had the chance to watch it. I've had my name on Amazon's list to notify me when it was available on video and I can't wait to own it. Jerry Lewis is truly funny and the songs are memorable. It's a great movie!

Tour-du-Force of Rockin' Music

Webb's "Town and Country" is a top-notch collection of seminal tunes that helped shape modern music. Unafraid to stand up to the whores and posers of the industry, Webb and his Econoline take real music to the people. Buy this CD for yourself. Buy copies for your friends. Put some in storage for when real music is a collector's item and it will be worth a fortune.
