1	He loved them!	I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves them and says they are very comfortable and they look great. The only complaint is that he cannot put them on and take them off with one hand as they are wrap around. He is very loyal to Maui Jim, would never buy another brand of sunglasses.	positive
1	Saves a lot of time	It is very easy to use, it saves a lot of time in food prep and it itself does not take much time in cleaning. Taking one star off because it does not have a legs to support the back and no dicing option.	positive
0	reevaluation of my review	since I wrote my last review I have broken two of my 36" cabinet master clamps. the pot metal in the head shattered when I hand tightened them. My advice is stay away from these clamps.	negative
1	Great Wedding/Dance Music	We used this CD to create a play list for dancing at our wedding. People had a lot of fun!!	positive
1	This band totally rocks!!!	Good Charlotte is one of the best new pop-rock bands out there today. If you listen to their entire CD all the way through, you can hear the chunks of songs straight from the Clash and the Sex Pistols' handbook. Not only do they rock recorded, they totally RULE live! They actaully try to get in touch with their fans, its awesome! The band members are: Joel, Vocals; Benji, Guitar, vocals; Billy, Guitar; Paul, Bass; Aaron, Drums. If you've done any research on the band, you would know that almost all of their songs are auto-biographical...which makes the meaning and the feelings even deeper. Good Charlotte's singles include "Little Things", "Motivation Proclamation", and "The Click" - the theme song on MTV's underGRADS (go to mtv.com and download it!). They all totally rock! Never miss the chance to catch them live...or you'll wanna kick youself for it!	positive
1	Great Chair	I bought this because when I was a kid my grandmother had this same chair at her house when I used to visit her. It's fantastic, has held up well and is the perfect step stool. I also use it to sit next to the counter in the kitchen when I have to stand for awhile--it makes a great companion.	positive
0	Couldn't make it through the disc	I'm a fan of all sorts of conventional music:Pop, Rock, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Techno, etc.I can't classify this stuff. It sounds as if some people with computers were testing out surround sound by placing disparate noises across the sound field.	negative
1	Nice little "tool"	I use this at work when I need to type from a hard copy. Not necessarily a necessity by any means, but it's nice to have.	positive
1	A Great Liveshow.	This is the DVD of the Fragility v0.1 tour.It is not as great as it is in studio but stilla good live show. It's hard to tell without having seen it first.I will recomend this release for NIN-fans only,And that is exactly what Trent Reznor meant aswell.	positive
1	thermal carafe coffee maker	Enjoy the coffee maker but more user-friendly features are needed such as the lighted time indicator and larger lettering so that the words would be easy to see. The auto feature indicator is so dim, one does not know if the feature is on or not.	positive
0	waste of time	I hate myself everytime I read a James Patterson book. Poor charater development and a plot that tries too hard. This book was a waste of my time and the only cure is to not read him anymore.	negative
0	Dio's decline starts to speed up	Dio's career seems to have hit a brick wall. After the disappointing release of Lock Up The WOlves, he releases this, another not so hot album. The opener Jesus Mary, and teh Holy Ghost is a killer! Perhaps even my favorite Dio song, but the rest of the album just drags. I still have yet to lesten to the entire CD straight through as I can only listen to it in pieces before wanting to venture on to something else.. Again, only buy if your a Dio fanatic or if the disc is very cheap. On the up side, you've got to give it to Ronnie, he does get good cover art for his albums.	negative
0	Not for kitchen use	I bought this with the intention of using it for cleanups around the kitchen and for sucking up leftover food in my 1yr old's high chair especially. While at first I thought it was great, after not emptying the contents right away (which is a pain because you have to remove the filter thingy that is dirty and gross) I found that they would get moldy very quickly and I would end up with a disgusting mess on my hands. Not to mention that it is VERY difficult to clean b/c it goes to a point where the food/debris gets caught and you have to find something that will reach in and clean it. Not the helpful tool that I thought it would be!Other than that it has good suction! I recommend plugging it in everytime you put it away so the battery stays charged.	negative
0	Cashing in on Jerry	This is one of the most insulting books that I have ever read in my life. To think that Bob's sis would dare cash in on Jerry's name for a few bucks is absotively despicable. The book itself is nothing but new age garbage with little respect for the common sense of the reader, whom I'm sure Wendy thinks are little 14 year old fashion hippies that couldn't form their own opinion to save Jerry's soul. Hey, I'm a spiritual cat too, but I don't claim to be able to channel the spirit of Jerry Garcia. I don't care if you're his soul mate, I don't buy it, literally and you shouldn't buy it financially. It disgusts me to think how many family members or wannabe family members are making money off of all these Jerry books and songs and God knows what else. I can't wait till this stuff dies down and we're back to an underground thing again. Jeez!	negative
1	Great Item	Very nice workmanship - not superb, but definite quality for the price.Some notes :- The necklace chain is pretty thin. Will be purchasing a slightly thicker one in the future.- When I bought this I had been anticipating a "ruby red" color, but when I received it they were much more pink than red. After doing research post this purchase I realize now there's quite a range of color, but just to make people aware.	positive
1	Hard Rock/Heavy Pysch Holy Grail	First song, "The Sacrifice", kinda cemented their reputation as some kinda Sabbath disciples. Actually they are communal friends of Comus, who also revelled in disturbing imagery.This is solid Steppenwolf hard rock with a melancholic feel. Album has a lot of atmosphere without actually going anywhere. Good use of electric and acoustic guitars playing off each other to create tension. Very haunting and wasted feeling.	positive
0	Palm support sucks	Just got my IIIXE today from Amazon. Palm has to calibrate screen the first time you use it; and it ask me to use the stylus to tap on the target at screen to calibrated it; but nothing happens when I tap on it. I called palm tech support and I have told that I have a defective unit. And because they are so kind they are going to send me a conditional unit(used). So I said thank you very much and returned the unit instead.	negative
0	Too Slow	The first chapter can be skipped if you already know that money wouldn't matter in a world where no one needs money.The other 2 chapters is about 2 more basic questions.I didn't enjoy the extreme slow pace of the writing throughout. It is mostly saying what most people already knows.	negative
0	garbage	how can a product like smackdown still be around? The only good time smackdown had was during 2002-2003 and thats only because of brock lesnar. Lesnar carried smackdown, and now after he is gone smackdown has been putting on crap events like this one. this doesnt even deserve a run down of the matches.	negative
1	Perfect rice in minutes	This rice cooker makes the perfect rice in a matter of minutes. Just follow the directions and the rice will come out right every time. The rice will also last for days as long as the cooker is closed all the way. If you are looking for a good rice cooker that also has the stay warm feature so that you do not have to cook rice every day this is the one to go with. It is a 10 cup rice cooker which is perfect for my family because they eat a lot of rice.	positive
1	cook what you love	Book was pleasing and interesting to read with nice pictures. Most Recipes are good . Some recipes were not so special but I would still recommend it.	positive
0	The book is OK, but not good really	I gave it a one-star to balance those biased 5 stars. The first part of the book is pretty good, intuitively explains what an OLS regression is really like geometrically. The second part of the book is just horrible. The author just goes on and on and on without being able to clearly explain the theories. The book is used in my program for one year and then stopped. Now we use Yamashi's book, which is much better.	negative
1	Topper is Tops!	... it's become my favorite video. Joan Blondell and Carole Landis--the "poor man's Betty Grable"--are great as the two party gals who go to a spooky old mansion to claim the inheritance that Landis has been awarded. Billy Burke as Mrs. Topper is a scream and so is her side-kick maid, Patsy Kelly (no one could do a double-take better than patsy) and Rochester, as Cosmo Topper's man servant is hysterical. The beautiful camera-work, the women's gowns, the top-notch special effects and the hysterical sight-gags ranks this with the best of Abbott and Costello comedies. A terrific excuse to while away an hour and a half when you're feeling down or bored. Best Scene: the playful seal and Rochester.	positive
0	not happy	I bought this drive and used it for about two weeks before it crashed and I lost all of my work. I have a few friends that have owned WT products before and they also have had problems with them. I cannot reccomend this drive	negative
1	A Real Winner!	The cookbook was a 2000 TABASCO Regional Award Winner in their Community Cookbook Competition. (It was the best in the New England area.)The variety of the recipes make it possible for us to use the book religiously all year long at least twice a month. There is something for everyone in this wonderful book.The colorful sidebar anecdotes by Conductor Harry Ellis Dickson make the it not only a cookbook, but also a collection of amusing vignettes about the BSO and its history.	positive
0	Not what I was hoping for.	Having read the first six books and several other books related to the series I purchased this DVD in hopes of viewing an animated version of one of the best fantasy book series out there. After watching the first few minute I had to check the date on the box to see if I was watching a show made in the 80's. Nope...copyright 2008...after that I said to myself do not judge this by the looks of the animation focus on the story...I then felt like I was watching a chopped up version of the story where part of the story were forced into the movie to be somewhat close to the book. I watched the movie till the end and felt a little ripped off. But more than anything I was sad by the poor quality (think original animated Hobit that was better) of the animation and the poor story telling that this movie provided. I hope that another animation or even a live action movie would be made of the Dragon Lance series that would truely tell the story as it is written.	negative
1	the artist way	I have found that i am only up to week three and i am painting crazy at the moment. I am doing the artist way with a group of women. I feel that for me it mean making a commitment.I know that left to my own self, i tend not to complete thing. I love chapter one because she talks about what to expect and they are the things that always cause me to quite. I feel better prepared.	positive
0	PS3 controller battery change	The battery itself is OK, but replacement is terrible, practically difficult. Controller PS3 shows cheap and poor design.Why this controller enclosure do not allow the user to open a back door and replace the battery? Once I open it, all tiny parts fall apart ?. The battery is holding by piece of foam, instead of formed plastic edges as a firm compartment. Hard to align the battery in order to close properly the back cover for controller.I do not recommend to open and replace the battery inside of PS3 siz axis controller !	negative
0	the "pimp with the heart of gold"	Hustle and Flow is a commercially successful independent film, and writer-director Craig Brewer is to be congratulated on that basis alone. But that nagging feeling I had leaving the theater was the uncomfortable parallel between Brewer himself and his lead character DJay. In much the same manner that DJay shamelessly exploits the women around him, Brewer exploits DJay's seedy Memphis underworld of drugs, guns, rap, pimping and prison to create this strangely audience-pleasing concoction. DJay, unfortunately, is no one to be admired. Would that Brewer had turned his many talents toward subject matter that we could find uplifting without resorting to the cliché of the "pimp with the heart of gold".	negative
1	Putting boys on the ledge	I really enjoyed this book. I had finished it before I could comprehend every detail. I highly recommend this book for preteen girls who are as obsessed with boys as I was. I feel like it covers everything girls need to know about guys, besides the thong part. How blue felt after Colin kissed her was exactly how I felt as well. Usually it's hard for me to find a book I just can't put down and this book was an excellent example!	positive
1	good book	Barrett Willoughby was a family friend and included grandfather Hill and great uncle Sid Barrington in one chapter. I found the story factual and authentic.	positive
0	Disappointment	When I started to read this book, I thought this book was a disappointment because I didn't like the characters, they are different except their motives. Then, it seems like Jude Deveraux forced the love between them. I just didn't like the book and I didn't get half way. I would recomend the Sweet Liar.	negative
0	Save your money students	I bought this along with the hardback text (which I love) and find it next to useless. It's set up to coincide with the text, so you go to the chapter you've read, and it just has you fill in the blank sentences right out of the text. If you're into rote learning where you write or say something over and over, maybe you'll like it. I was hoping for something that would add to the book and help achieve greater understanding, or at least challenge me. Also, some of the parts are out of line with the chapter, like they must have updated one of the texts and not the other. The chapter review questions in the hardback text are MUCH more helpful, as is the website that goes along.	negative
1	Don't Panic...	Don't panic, strings marked A/D/F#/B CAN be used just fine for G/C/E/A tuning... They don't seem to be quite as nice as the comparable Aquilas, but they're half the price... They were for a $20 uke... (And yeah, new $4 strings do improve the sound on a $20 uke!).	positive
0	Needs improvement	We received this as a Christmas present and my son was thrilled! After the 30 minutes it took to get it out of the box and put the batteries in he was having fun making the robot dance.But, it only took one transformation into car mode to dash the fun. After transforuming into the car it simply made a clicking noise as if a gear was stuck. It wouldn't do anything else. Since then, I have read other reviews at other sites and it seems that there are many people returning this product for the exact same reason.We are very disappointed because it is a very cool idea. After reading other reviews I think we will pass on getting another one.	negative
1	A dramatic, moving collection; each poem has a gripping personal story to tell	Becoming the Villainess is the debut collection of free-verse poetry by journalist Jeannine Hall Gailey. Addressing the archtypes of myth, from modern pop culture to Ovid to Grimm's fairy tales, Gailey weaves words expressing the hearts of shunned, reviled, justly and unjustly treated villainesses and female victims of fable. A dramatic, moving collection; each poem has a gripping personal story to tell. "Daphne, Older": Peel back my skin: / reveal hard fibers, bite marks, // scars from wind and rain. / Life is pain - I won't tell you // any different. Just that sometimes, / avoiding what you fear // isn't the answer. See? All these years / my branches sang with birds // and my leaves drank sunlight- / I haven't missed much. // My heartwood hardens slowly / over time - first, to the music, then, to the light.	positive
1	Good taste and excellent energy	I've only tried the Vanilla, will be getting chocolate next time. Mixes up easy, tastes just fine mixing with water. Take 30 minutes after working out and keeps the boiler running till lunch.	positive
1	Very Satisfied !	First, I received this item about five days ahead of schedule - and I live in the state of Hawaii!Instructions to hook it up - mmm...mmm..."moderately difficult"...I will say that I understood how to hook it up with and without a cable box AFTER THE FACT. They're printed on the box! However, I used it the same day that I received it.It searches fast and it does overshoot the target (now I know what that means...).It has a commercial skip. It plays non-HDTV recordings very clearly. It stops at the point I press stop (while recording). It seems like I can view my videotaped soap operas faster than I did before. It gives you speed options to record (SP, SLP). It has a timer to set when recording. It has a display clock.I am enjoying this Panasonic (whose saying used to be "Just slightly ahead of time") VCR very much.Pameli.	positive
1	Beats Per Minute	I saw Ute Lemper live last night in San Francisco. I have seen and heard many live performances, and I can't remember feeling history, passion, and spirit like I did in the voice of this young woman. My heart literally pounded the entire show. Buy this CD, AND see her live!	positive
0	Garbage!	My puppy Paw Paw hates this stuff.And I hate it to. It get's my whole house plus the inside of the toy stink. And my next door neighboor dog Fluffy the Bichon frise ate this stuff one time and ended up in the emergenciey room! But she is better but needs to rest for a couple days.	negative
0	Trite, repetitive....um, oh yeah, BORING!	Not a bad premise, but just uses all the romantic comedy cliches.I have to admit that Grant had some good one liners to keep it mildlyinteresting early. However, there is absolutely no humorous satire inthe whole Cora pop diva thing. Drew's ex-lover sub-plot was a dud as well. The 2nd half is almost entirely repetitiveand trite dialogue, and you have to hear that song they wrote so many times you want to just pass out. Overall, a lifeless effort, a rip-off.	negative
1	Seiko watch	My previous watch was also a Seiko, never had a problem. I like this watch because it looks very elegant on my wrist. The size is just right for me. I like the leather strap and the design as well.	positive
0	'The Lord has saved me' by M.L. Barre	You would need to be an expert in Old Testament Hebrew to understand most of this book - it is certainly not for the general reader.	negative
0	Surprise...bait and switch.	The company does not operate properly I ordered the French Vanilla. That is the selection I clicked on and I recieved the White Chocolate. They should contact a buyer BEFORE shipping a substitution.	negative
0	Not very space efficient!	These baskets are not worth the money! The wicker is a bit on the cheap side and they are not space efficient at all!!! They have a small base and it widens vertically. What you have is a basket that looks big but can't fit too much things because of the small base. I ended up purchasing other baskets for my baby's room...ones that had the same size base as the top. It was too much of a hassle to return them so they are stored away in the closet, holding junk items.	negative
1	Don't care about negatives, one of my favorites!	I've seen One from the Heart several times in cinemas, own it on video, and was thrilled when the soundtrack was (briefly) released on CD. I'm hoping a DVD is in the works, including 20+ years later commentary by the director. I wish I had been in the right place at the right time to purchase one or more of the opening shot models of classic Las Vegas marquees (following the Zoetrope bankruptcy). At some point you either buy into a story or not; extremely negative reviewers simply made up their minds in the first half. I bought into the characters, their fantasies, and the mood. Please get it released on DVD!	positive
1	Out of the clouds comes a star!	I've been looking forward to this release for a while now. I've mentioned it several times on my website and finally I had the chance to listen to it. Amazing vocals, great piano work and overall just a fun album to kick back and take in. Some catchy lyrics also helped move the album along. Seriously if your looking for a fun, soft and smoothing album then this is it!	positive
0	Didn't like it	About 15 years ago I would have really enjoyed this book, but not now. This is my first Zane book and it will probably be my last. I am sure she has a following but I am totally lost at why. I also understand now why men do not bother to date women now especially if they are reading this stuff.	negative
1	Good brush!	I loved this brush. It is sturdy and does the job well. The only problem is that the brush is detached from the long wood stem part. I have found a way to make it stay, but it took me many tries. Otherwise it was worth it.	positive
1	Excellent service.	The dvd arrived on time and is brand new and sealed as described. There was no damaged. Thank you.	positive
0	Yuck!	a spaghetti western at its worst. Mistook the film for the new Django and what a mistake it was. Thankfully, it was only a rental. Never bothered beyond the first ten minutes.	negative
0	pointless	The villain had no motive to commit his crimes. At least, the director chose not to reveal what it was. This movie was an utter waste of time. Sean Young is pretty, but too thin in this film. She looked far better in "Ace Ventura."	negative
1	So good.	It's The Thing! It's just as good as its always been, with better picture. And the picture sure is nice. When you see those crazy puppet monsters burst open and drip with sinew and puss you will come to the conclusion that this will always be better than the hyper realistic CG garbage we get shoved down our gullets today.Am I excited for The Thing prequel? Yes! Am I scared that it will tarnish the good name of the original? No, nothing can hurt it. It's too strong.	positive
0	Poor service	This business is NOT responsive to customer requests and does NOT correct their problems. My lighting unit was sent to the wrong address, but the representative could not tell me what they would do about that. When I received the product weeks after I needed it and submitted a request to return it, my request was completely ignored.	negative
1	Best set ever	These 2 movies are some of my favorite of all time. The 5th element, I have probably watched over 100 times since it came out. I can never get enough of it. I first saw Gattaca in my high school science class, and ever since I have always loved it. If you have never seen these movies, give them a chance.	positive
1	A very funny and entertaining mystery!	Move over Bailey Wiggins and Stephanie Plum, there's a new girl in town! Sophie Katz is a fictitious mystery writer who is now at the heart of her own mystery as she tries to discover who is trying to kill her! Sophie, who is half African-American and half-Jewish, teams up with her friends Dena, Mary Ann and Marcus to solve a mystery that will leave readers wondering "who did it." Set in San Francisco, "Sex, Murder and a Double Latte," marks Kyra Davis' first book. I'm hoping it will be the first of many mysteries. Anyone who has ever lived in San Francisco, has a passion for mysteries and chick lit, and can't pass a Starbucks without making a pit stop, it sure to love this book!	positive
1	Not Unique But Good	With the recent craze of striptease aerobics videos out there, I figured this one would be worth a shot.The video consists of a few different 'dance routines.' Many of these moves really aren't anything more than the same moves you would catch on any of the gajillion bellydance videos out there - and if you are just getting started on exercising, interested in the exercising/dance genre of video, I would suggest you start in the bellydancing section first.This DVD was a good low impact workout, and I did break a sweat the first few times, but the moves can be a little difficult for beginning dancers to master.On the bright side, the music to the routines wasn't bad, it was relatively low on the cheesy comments about how learning dance makes a woman a goddess, and it's actually fun. :)	positive
0	Waiting for subscription.....	Amazon wants to me to review my purchase. OK, how about sending me the first issue. Ridiculous.	negative
0	stones fell out	I purchased these as a gift for my aunt off of her wish list. During a recent visit to her house she informed me that a stone had fallen out of one of her earrings. She had it fixed (at a large expense) then only to have more stones fall out of both pair.	negative
0	Not DTS, Not even a good picture	I have learned a big lesson through the purchase of this video, some groups will show their fans respect and give them DTS with high quality video. Not the case here. This is simply a VHS version recorded to DVD. Not to brag but I could have done this in my basement and produced better quality. If you do not believe me, purchase this DVD then purchase the The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over. I guarantee you will want you money back.	negative
0	Lesson Learned	It perfomed great for about the first 8 minutes I have owned it. Now it just declares "WRONG DISC" with every DVD I insert. This thing is going in the garbage. Lesson learned.	negative
0	NOT stainless steel	I've been looking for stainless steel cooling racks and when I found it here I ordered 3. When they arrived, I noticed the surface flaking. Which indicates these are chrome or nickel plated. These are NOT stainless steel as advertised.Update: One of the reviewer states that the term "stainless steel" means "machine washable". Stainless steel is steel with a percentage of Chromium and another element which makes them resistant to rust. If you've heard the term 18/10 stainless those are the percentage of material that makes them a certain grade of stainless steel. I still have the racks because i can't seem to find stainless steel racks. The search goes on.Update: Looks like Amazon finally got around to taking "Stainless Steel" off the title.	negative
1	Awesome Album!!! GO BUY IT!!	This is a much more personal album than their debut. It seems like their lyrics and music just overall matured quite a deal. Definitely an awesome album worth buying!! My favorite track would be Emotionless. In this song, Benji and Joel spill their hearts out to their dad. Although it's kind of depressing to listen to compared to their other upbeat songs, it's a very very well-written, well-composed track. :-) Overall, if I could, I'd rate the album 20 out of 5!!! haha :-) Check it out, definitely!	positive
0	Didn't even open the package...	Not sure where this box was kept in the warehouse but the plastic covering the package was dusty and yellow with a few small holes...and I guess I thought there were more types of buttons and mechanisms for the child to practice on. Didn't get to actually play with the toy as I returned it immediately...but up close I don't think it would have held my 3 year old's interest long. Cute idea...but I'm going to shop around for another style.	negative
1	Beautiful paper!	I have some books that I keep on my nightstand to read at bedtime, but the covers are not too attractive. I bought this paper to cover them. It worked beautifully.The paper is thick, and feels kind of textured, which you can't tell from the photo. One sheet was enough to cover a pretty large book and two small ones. They make the nightstand books look wonderful.I also bought some white textured paper for some other books. That looks OKAY, but not as gorgeous as books covered in this paper do.I'm going to get more paper, other colors and designs, and cover other books on my book shelf, books that I give to girlfriends as presents, or even cover journals that I buy for friends. This way it doesn't matter if they have a plain cover.They'll be works of art, and a treasured gift with something like this beautiful paper as the cover.It's kind of expensive, but heavy enough that I think it'll last a long time.Will buy more!	positive
0	Talent without good songs.	It is obvious that Clay Aiken has talent- there is no fooling about that. He is definitely one of the most talented pop stars out there right now. However, the people producing this album did a poor job showcasing the talent that Clay Aiken holds. Every song on this album sounds the same. The emotions portrayed by Clay are not very diverse; every emotion fits into either the category of "I am singing about pain" or "We are going to get through the pain". The truth is that this album is painful enough to actually sit and listen to. The only song on this less-than-quality debut that is worth listening to is the title track, "Measure Of A Man." This song is in a realm of its own, actually having a worthwhile message.In summation, the talent is there, the album is not. Maybe next time, Clay.	negative
0	Don't waste your money	Unfortunately, I bought two of these blenders based on their good reviews in Consumer Reports or Cooks Illustrated--can't remember which. Problems include:- Shape of jar, which makes thick mixes like milkshakes not blend evenly. The blade just spins while the shake stays in place. You have to constantly stop the blender and stir with a wooden spoon.- Burning smell (resulting from the above, I believe).- Five speeds are useless. They're too close together.If these were more expensive, I'd spend the energy to return them. But as it stands, I'll just toss 'em and buy something better. Don't waste your money.	negative
1	for a True BILLS FAN!	First OF all I had all of My Games Taped SO I Didn't have any damage problems.that Season was a Trip it didn't start out to Promising then boom after Rob Got Hurt Doug was Magic.The 49er&Jacksonville Wins Were The Highlights of the Season.The Refs messed up big time in the Patriots Game&The Playoff game in Miami.still Considering from what happen one year back this was a Great Turn Around.THe N.F.L needs Better Refs Especially when it comes to us.THe BILLS are The BADDEST!	positive
0	Meh.	First, I just have to say... waaaay too many exclamation marks in this book--at least one (usually more) on nearly every page. For example, from page 40 (hardcover edition): "Blood! Thick puddles in the grass! But there was no body!" Exclamation marks do not equal excitement! Or tension! Or drama! Good, tight writing, on the other hand, does. Not that this book was bad, but it did, unfortunately, tend to be a little superficial and "cutesy". To put it another way, these characters behave and speak like grown-ups think sixteen year olds behave and speak.	negative
0	It is NOT a good tutorial book	This book overly abused cross-references. The first paragraph may refer you to the third paragraph and the second paragraph may refer you to the first paragragh. Following the references, you will be running around the get lost. If you trim off this absolutely un-necessary WEB of references, the book could lose 10% of its weight.	negative
1	Great	Ok, so this movie may have lacked a lot of elements that make movies great movies great, but it did have something most high-budget movies don't, a good plot. Ok, so I know it was about aliens who try to take over the world in a very inefficient way (the could only blow-up one building at a time) and lots of other things of that nature, but it did it in a believeable way. The actors held the script together. And maybe it was silly, but isn't that what movies are all about? Who wants to see a movie about how bad life really is?	positive
0	1 star, and I'm an ID proponent	Well, I've read many ID titles including Behe, Denton and Johnson (I even got to hear Philip speak once) and I'd say there are better presentations than this one. I've wanted to read it for awhile since it was considered once for inclusion in some science curricula (I believe). If you choose to read it, read the chapters first and then go back and read the Intro. (or better yet, read the intro only and then pitch the book into the donation box as you'll have the gist)	negative
0	Worked great - for about a month	I ordered two of these cables. They worked great for about a month, and then the first one died. About a month later the second one also stopped working. Since then I've replaced them with a set from another manufacturer and those have been working for nearly three years. Even though these have a great price, I wouldn't suggest ordering them - you're probably better off ordering a higher priced set that will last longer.	negative
1	S.D.H.	I've really enjoyed this one so far. Most the other reviews aren't very good. Frame rate seems to suffer some but from what I've found it's still very playable. Lots of destroying bots and property. Game play in deathmatch is at a breakneck pace and you must move or die quickly. I like the graphics also even though I can't run them up at where I'd like.	positive
1	Excellent card at a great price	The linksys card not only came with great instructions, but proviedes quick acces to the internet via a DSL connection (running Windows ME). When used in conjunction with a hub and another computer, it provides a extremely quick link to the other computer(s). It is affordable, easy to install and comes with complete software. I have bought two of them!	positive
0	Never trust the re-make	This movie is based on a german film named "Bella Martha" which is actually one of my favorite movies. I couldn't even get through this one because it was so horrible in comparison.The plot is basically the same - a control obsessed chef is burdened with her dead sister's daughter, and a new hire is making the moves on her. The characters have a lot more depth, though, and the cinematography is perfect with the different moods of the movie. If you were tempted at all by the plot of "No Reservations" go rent "Bella Martha" instead.Mostly Martha	negative
0	Cheaply made	I knew it was a cheap grill when I bought it (obviously).Pros: It's a charcoal grill and can cook things.Cons: Rusted completely through the bottom in less than a year. Spend the extra $15 and get a Weber, because you'll need to buy one anyway in about 9 months. Would work OK if you are planning to store this inside most of the time and only use it on certain occasions (like tailgates), otherwise the weather will kill it before long.	negative
0	BORING	granted a very "skilled" guitarist but i cant appreciate the melodies the playing or anything about the songs. this cd [is bad]. maybe he should learn to not play the guitar. he doesnt seem to understand the concept of silence which is as crucial to a good song as the notes are. there will always be guitar players that rely on flash to win over an audience and this is definitely one of them. put this in the trash...	negative
1	Awesome TV - buy it now!	This is a fantastic TV at an incredible price. The Big Box stores have this item for $900 more, even before taxes. The picture is beautiful. The controls are simple. Hooked up a DVD and a Media Center PC in minutes with very little tweaking required. It is way cool to have all my downloaded media content available with my remote control. Delivery was pain free...1/2 hour delivery window after 5pm...gotta love it.I have absolutely no regrets with this purchase. Four months of research has paid off big-time.	positive
1	An inside look at this wonderfully harsh province.	I really enjoyed the The Shipping News although I found much of the sentence structure to be slightly difficult to read. The wonderful descriptions and characters made up for that. It was like a return to the past for me--having lived in Newfoundland for 2 years in the 1960's. I can hardly wait for the movie version!	positive
1	Good quality, saves money	I always wanted a gold basket and purchased it together with a Cuisinart Grind-n-Brew. It is of high quality materials and labor, and works great. I don't use it now because I don't like the sediment left in the bottom of the pot and cup. I knew it did this because I read it in the reviews. As a personal preference, I continue to use paper filters and keep my gold filter in a zip loc bag for a backup.	positive

1	Excellent historical review of hypnosis	Waterfield is clearly an extremely talented researcher and does a terrific job telling the story of hypnosis. The chapter on Mesmer is fascinating. Waterfield does an excellent job offering a variety of perspectives although he does offer his opinions at times. I found this to a be a very balanced view of hypnosis covering it from a variety of angles. Waterfield did an excellent job researching the history of hypnosis and sharing his findings with the reader.	positive
0	Not order	I didn't received the Bible that I ordered. The wrong Bible was sent so I returned it for credit. I have ordered this Bible in the past Bible before and I love it, but mine is falling apart so I needed a new one.	negative
0	Long, drawn out, and boring	If you think "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" was a good movie, you will love this one. If you are into long searing stares, deep cranial symbolism, long drawn out looks at dead and dying pigeons, consistent views of clouds and sky, then you will like this. Also, please understand that my idea of a movie with lots of depth and symbolism is Lethal Weapon III, then take my review into that context. Take out the extended extra looks at various scenes, cut this movie down to around 75 minutes, and it would not be bad. This one lasts around 7 hours, at least it will feel that way.	negative
0	VERY OVERRATED MOVIES!	The Star Wars "saga" (or whatever you wanna call it) are, in my opinion, incredibly overrated movies. There are three movies: Star Bores, The Empire Strikes Out, and Return of the Dead-Eye (j/k). All three of them are sci-fi/fantasy films that move along at an incredibly slow pace. Think of a snail wading through a vast sea of syrup if you will...that's how slow-moving they are. And how is "May the force be with you", a memorable line? It's more like: May the dorks be with you! But seriously, these movies are made by dorks for dorks. Okay, not everyone who likes these films are dorks, but there are some obsessive ones... Anyway, I don't recommend The Star Wars Trilogy to anyone. If you're a parent don't let you're young children watch these films it will warp their minds. Good day!	negative
1	Good Grammy Choice	This CD deserves accolaides. I love trains and my only reservation is that he didn't write any of the songs. As a teenager, I commuted to school from Connecticut to New York by train. Later I collected all the Hallmark train Christmas ornaments. The kids of today don't know trains the way few of us can appreciate riding horses for transportation. Who says this has to be for kids.	positive
0	Very few moves, repeats	This DVD was a letdown. She does just a few moves, and does them to exhaustion. So, of course it burns because you are doing the same move. Beginners would not have the strength in their legs to do these workouts, but if they do a little each day they will build up strength. No dancing in this video. Doubt I'll use this more than once or twice...	negative
1	Best I ever used!	First of all I read all the reviews. Consumer Reports rated it the best so I bought it. The people who said it was made cheap and it would not last really helped me. It caused me to be a lot more careful when using it. I first just ran it in a well worn (dirty) spot with water only and wow what a difference. Then I cleared out the furniture from that area the next week and went to work. This time I used the liquid cleaner and rinsed with water twice. My carpet of 9 years looks better than I could remember it. The quick time the carpet takes to dry is amazing. My suggestion is to take your time and be easy with changing the containers out when the liquid is dirty. I am sure it will last you for years.	positive
0	Shuttle didn't last a game	I have to disagree with previous reviews on the durability of this brand of shuttlecock. Two or three feathers would break-off mid-way or so in a 21-point game. And we are not talking about a heavy smashing, "do or die" game. Thereafter, the shuttle has an awkward spin. The shuttle also feels a little heavy when new. The yellow colored feathers did not add to the visibility during play.I would not buy them again. Not worth the price and high S&H; costs. I was disappointed with the purchase.	negative
1	very good	excellent movie, if you are a fan of this series, you will thoroughly enjoy this, Tom Selleck is very good and believable in this role.	positive
0	What is all the fuss about?	Overall this book was not worth reading. The writing is excellent but the characters are unsympathetic and there is no plot. A little more than half way through I gave up and gave the book away. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters. This surprised me since I can finish almost anything. Don't waste your money.	negative
1	Saving time	Very bright LEDS, not too expensive and very, very energy saving. THE christmas lights. I will be buying more next christmas.	positive
1	only rated it a 4 because...	i rated this a 4 star because the order was Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC Memory Card WITH SD Adapter (BULK Packaging) but didn't come with the adapter. Otherwise it was a good buy and if the adapter was there, i would have rated it as a 5* product.	positive
1	Information overload	This book tells the tale of the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa in 1883, with the resulting destruction and death of about 35,000 people. However, in addition to that story, the author has included page after page of info about the formation of the earth, the history of the East Indies, Dutch colonialism, geology, geography, plate tectonics, and a whole host of other, somewhat intersting, subjects. These additions really bog down the story, and at times tend to have the eyes glaze over while reading. As long as you can slog through the mundane parts, and read about the eruption, you will enjoy this book. If you like your nonfiction laced and larded with facts like an encyclopedia, you will also enjoy this book. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.	positive

0	Once it breaks, forget it.	Well it made good waffles, but one day the hinge pins broke. Black & Decker told me when I called that they do not sell replacement parts for it. I guess they want you to buy a new waffle maker, which I will. But you can bet it won't be Black & Decker. I don't care if it's just a waffle maker or if it's a car, the company that sells a product must stand behind it or I'm looking elsewhere. And that goes for Black & Decker drills, saws, and other tools as well. I'm done with them.	negative
0	Not your grandma's can opener	I don't know the number of my Swing-A-Way. I bought it at K-Mart, to replace my older one. The new one is definitely light weight, just by hefting them I can tell that.I went looking for a replacement because I have been having a lot of trouble opening cans lately. I don't know what the problem is, but I am buying undented cans and then when I go to open them, the top is just a little oval and not totally round.Any lid that is not TOTALLY round, leaves two hinged places where the lid will not open. Not at all like the old Swing-A-Way models!!! They opened almost anything!So, today I cut myself, trying to tip the lid to remove the contents. I am so disgusted and discouraged. Next, I'm going to look into the EZ-DUZ-IT, to see if it is really like my old can opener.Amco Swing-A-Way 407WH Portable Can Opener, White	negative

He loved them!

I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves them and says they are very comfortable and they look great. The only complaint is that he cannot put them on and take them off with one hand as they are wrap around. He is very loyal to Maui Jim, would never buy another brand of sunglasses.

This band totally rocks!!!

Good Charlotte is one of the best new pop-rock bands out there today. If you listen to their entire CD all the way through, you can hear the chunks of songs straight from the Clash and the Sex Pistols' handbook. Not only do they rock recorded, they totally RULE live! They actaully try to get in touch with their fans, its awesome! The band members are: Joel, Vocals; Benji, Guitar, vocals; Billy, Guitar; Paul, Bass; Aaron, Drums. If you've done any research on the band, you would know that almost all of their songs are auto-biographical...which makes the meaning and the feelings even deeper. Good Charlotte's singles include "Little Things", "Motivation Proclamation", and "The Click" - the theme song on MTV's underGRADS (go to mtv.com and download it!). They all totally rock! Never miss the chance to catch them live...or you'll wanna kick youself for it!

Great Chair

I bought this because when I was a kid my grandmother had this same chair at her house when I used to visit her. It's fantastic, has held up well and is the perfect step stool. I also use it to sit next to the counter in the kitchen when I have to stand for awhile--it makes a great companion.

Dio's decline starts to speed up

Dio's career seems to have hit a brick wall. After the disappointing release of Lock Up The WOlves, he releases this, another not so hot album. The opener Jesus Mary, and teh Holy Ghost is a killer! Perhaps even my favorite Dio song, but the rest of the album just drags. I still have yet to lesten to the entire CD straight through as I can only listen to it in pieces before wanting to venture on to something else.. Again, only buy if your a Dio fanatic or if the disc is very cheap. On the up side, you've got to give it to Ronnie, he does get good cover art for his albums.

Not for kitchen use

I bought this with the intention of using it for cleanups around the kitchen and for sucking up leftover food in my 1yr old's high chair especially. While at first I thought it was great, after not emptying the contents right away (which is a pain because you have to remove the filter thingy that is dirty and gross) I found that they would get moldy very quickly and I would end up with a disgusting mess on my hands. Not to mention that it is VERY difficult to clean b/c it goes to a point where the food/debris gets caught and you have to find something that will reach in and clean it. Not the helpful tool that I thought it would be!Other than that it has good suction! I recommend plugging it in everytime you put it away so the battery stays charged.

Cashing in on Jerry

This is one of the most insulting books that I have ever read in my life. To think that Bob's sis would dare cash in on Jerry's name for a few bucks is absotively despicable. The book itself is nothing but new age garbage with little respect for the common sense of the reader, whom I'm sure Wendy thinks are little 14 year old fashion hippies that couldn't form their own opinion to save Jerry's soul. Hey, I'm a spiritual cat too, but I don't claim to be able to channel the spirit of Jerry Garcia. I don't care if you're his soul mate, I don't buy it, literally and you shouldn't buy it financially. It disgusts me to think how many family members or wannabe family members are making money off of all these Jerry books and songs and God knows what else. I can't wait till this stuff dies down and we're back to an underground thing again. Jeez!

Very nice workmanship - not superb, but definite quality for the price.Some notes :- The necklace chain is pretty thin. Will be purchasing a slightly thicker one in the future.- When I bought this I had been anticipating a "ruby red" color, but when I received it they were much more pink than red. After doing research post this purchase I realize now there's quite a range of color, but just to make people aware.

Hard Rock/Heavy Pysch Holy Grail

First song, "The Sacrifice", kinda cemented their reputation as some kinda Sabbath disciples. Actually they are communal friends of Comus, who also revelled in disturbing imagery.This is solid Steppenwolf hard rock with a melancholic feel. Album has a lot of atmosphere without actually going anywhere. Good use of electric and acoustic guitars playing off each other to create tension. Very haunting and wasted feeling.

Perfect rice in minutes

This rice cooker makes the perfect rice in a matter of minutes. Just follow the directions and the rice will come out right every time. The rice will also last for days as long as the cooker is closed all the way.

It is a 10 cup rice cooker which is perfect for my family because they eat a lot of rice.

The book is OK, but not good really

I gave it a one-star to balance those biased 5 stars. The first part of the book is pretty good, intuitively explains what an OLS regression is really like geometrically. The second part of the book is just horrible. The author just goes on and on and on without being able to clearly explain the theories. The book is used in my program for one year and then stopped. Now we use Yamashi's book, which is much better.

Topper is Tops!

... it's become my favorite video. Joan Blondell and Carole Landis--the "poor man's Betty Grable"--are great as the two party gals who go to a spooky old mansion to claim the inheritance that Landis has been awarded. Billy Burke as Mrs. Topper is a scream and so is her side-kick maid, Patsy Kelly (no one could do a double-take better than patsy) and Rochester, as Cosmo Topper's man servant is hysterical. The beautiful camera-work, the women's gowns, the top-notch special effects and the hysterical sight-gags ranks this with the best of Abbott and Costello comedies. A terrific excuse to while away an hour and a half when you're feeling down or bored. Best Scene: the playful seal and Rochester.

Not what I was hoping for.

Having read the first six books and several other books related to the series I purchased this DVD in hopes of viewing an animated version of one of the best fantasy book series out there. After watching the first few minute I had to check the date on the box to see if I was watching a show made in the 80's. Nope...copyright 2008...after that I said to myself do not judge this by the looks of the animation focus on the story...I then felt like I was watching a chopped up version of the story where part of the story were forced into the movie to be somewhat close to the book. I watched the movie till the end and felt a little ripped off. But more than anything I was sad by the poor quality (think original animated Hobit that was better) of the animation and the poor story telling that this movie provided. I hope that another animation or even a live action movie would be made of the Dragon Lance series that would truely tell the story as it is written.

the "pimp with the heart of gold"

Hustle and Flow is a commercially successful independent film, and writer-director Craig Brewer is to be congratulated on that basis alone. But that nagging feeling I had leaving the theater was the uncomfortable parallel between Brewer himself and his lead character DJay. In much the same manner that DJay shamelessly exploits the women around him, Brewer exploits DJay's seedy Memphis underworld of drugs, guns, rap, pimping and prison to create this strangely audience-pleasing concoction. DJay, unfortunately, is no one to be admired. Would that Brewer had turned his many talents toward subject matter that we could find uplifting without resorting to the cliché of the "pimp with the heart of gold".

Putting boys on the ledge

I really enjoyed this book. I had finished it before I could comprehend every detail. I highly recommend this book for preteen girls who are as obsessed with boys as I was.

Usually it's hard for me to find a book I just can't put down and this book was an excellent example!

Save your money students

I bought this along with the hardback text (which I love) and find it next to useless. It's set up to coincide with the text, so you go to the chapter you've read, and it just has you fill in the blank sentences right out of the text. If you're into rote learning where you write or say something over and over, maybe you'll like it. I was hoping for something that would add to the book and help achieve greater understanding, or at least challenge me. Also, some of the parts are out of line with the chapter, like they must have updated one of the texts and not the other. The chapter review questions in the hardback text are MUCH more helpful, as is the website that goes along.

Needs improvement

We received this as a Christmas present and my son was thrilled! After the 30 minutes it took to get it out of the box and put the batteries in he was having fun making the robot dance.But, it only took one transformation into car mode to dash the fun. After transforuming into the car it simply made a clicking noise as if a gear was stuck. It wouldn't do anything else. Since then, I have read other reviews at other sites and it seems that there are many people returning this product for the exact same reason.We are very disappointed because it is a very cool idea. After reading other reviews I think we will pass on getting another one.

A dramatic, moving collection; each poem has a gripping personal story to tell

Becoming the Villainess is the debut collection of free-verse poetry by journalist Jeannine Hall Gailey. Addressing the archtypes of myth, from modern pop culture to Ovid to Grimm's fairy tales, Gailey weaves words expressing the hearts of shunned, reviled, justly and unjustly treated villainesses and female victims of fable. A dramatic, moving collection; each poem has a gripping personal story to tell. "Daphne, Older": Peel back my skin: / reveal hard fibers, bite marks, // scars from wind and rain. / Life is pain - I won't tell you // any different. Just that sometimes, / avoiding what you fear // isn't the answer. See? All these years / my branches sang with birds // and my leaves drank sunlight- / I haven't missed much. // My heartwood hardens slowly / over time - first, to the music, then, to the light.

Very Satisfied !

First, I received this item about five days ahead of schedule - and I live in the state of Hawaii!Instructions to hook it up - mmm...mmm..."moderately difficult"...I will say that I understood how to hook it up with and without a cable box AFTER THE FACT. They're printed on the box! However, I used it the same day that I received it.It searches fast and it does overshoot the target (now I know what that means...).It has a commercial skip. It plays non-HDTV recordings very clearly. It stops at the point I press stop (while recording). It seems like I can view my videotaped soap operas faster than I did before. It gives you speed options to record (SP, SLP). It has a timer to set when recording. It has a display clock.I am enjoying this Panasonic (whose saying used to be "Just slightly ahead of time") VCR very much.Pameli.

Trite, repetitive....um, oh yeah, BORING!

Not a bad premise, but just uses all the romantic comedy cliches.I have to admit that Grant had some good one liners to keep it mildlyinteresting early. However, there is absolutely no humorous satire inthe whole Cora pop diva thing. Drew's ex-lover sub-plot was a dud as well. The 2nd half is almost entirely repetitiveand trite dialogue, and you have to hear that song they wrote so many times you want to just pass out. Overall, a lifeless effort, a rip-off.

Not very space efficient!

These baskets are not worth the money! The wicker is a bit on the cheap side and they are not space efficient at all!!! They have a small base and it widens vertically. What you have is a basket that looks big but can't fit too much things because of the small base. I ended up purchasing other baskets for my baby's room...ones that had the same size base as the top. It was too much of a hassle to return them so they are stored away in the closet, holding junk items.

Don't care about negatives, one of my favorites!

I've seen One from the Heart several times in cinemas, own it on video, and was thrilled when the soundtrack was (briefly) released on CD. I'm hoping a DVD is in the works, including 20+ years later commentary by the director. I wish I had been in the right place at the right time to purchase one or more of the opening shot models of classic Las Vegas marquees (following the Zoetrope bankruptcy). At some point you either buy into a story or not; extremely negative reviewers simply made up their minds in the first half. I bought into the characters, their fantasies, and the mood. Please get it released on DVD!

Out of the clouds comes a star!

I've been looking forward to this release for a while now. I've mentioned it several times on my website and finally I had the chance to listen to it. Amazing vocals, great piano work and overall just a fun album to kick back and take in. Some catchy lyrics also helped move the album along. Seriously if your looking for a fun, soft and smoothing album then this is it!

Didn't like it

About 15 years ago I would have really enjoyed this book, but not now. This is my first Zane book and it will probably be my last. I am sure she has a following but I am totally lost at why. I also understand now why men do not bother to date women now especially if they are reading this stuff.

Good brush!

I loved this brush. It is sturdy and does the job well. The only problem is that the brush is detached from the long wood stem part. I have found a way to make it stay, but it took me many tries. Otherwise it was worth it.

Yuck!

a spaghetti western at its worst. Mistook the film for the new Django and what a mistake it was. Thankfully, it was only a rental. Never bothered beyond the first ten minutes.

pointless

The villain had no motive to commit his crimes. At least, the director chose not to reveal what it was. This movie was an utter waste of time. Sean Young is pretty, but too thin in this film. She looked far better in "Ace Ventura."

So good.

It's The Thing! It's just as good as its always been, with better picture. And the picture sure is nice. When you see those crazy puppet monsters burst open and drip with sinew and puss you will come to the conclusion that this will always be better than the hyper realistic CG garbage we get shoved down our gullets today.Am I excited for The Thing prequel? Yes! Am I scared that it will tarnish the good name of the original? No, nothing can hurt it. It's too strong.

Poor service

This business is NOT responsive to customer requests and does NOT correct their problems. My lighting unit was sent to the wrong address, but the representative could not tell me what they would do about that. When I received the product weeks after I needed it and submitted a request to return it, my request was completely ignored.

Best set ever

These 2 movies are some of my favorite of all time. The 5th element, I have probably watched over 100 times since it came out. I can never get enough of it. I first saw Gattaca in my high school science class, and ever since I have always loved it. If you have never seen these movies, give them a chance.

A very funny and entertaining mystery!

Move over Bailey Wiggins and Stephanie Plum, there's a new girl in town! Sophie Katz is a fictitious mystery writer who is now at the heart of her own mystery as she tries to discover who is trying to kill her! Sophie, who is half African-American and half-Jewish, teams up with her friends Dena, Mary Ann and Marcus to solve a mystery that will leave readers wondering "who did it." Set in San Francisco, "Sex, Murder and a Double Latte," marks Kyra Davis' first book. I'm hoping it will be the first of many mysteries. Anyone who has ever lived in San Francisco, has a passion for mysteries and chick lit, and can't pass a Starbucks without making a pit stop, it sure to love this book!

Not Unique But Good

With the recent craze of striptease aerobics videos out there, I figured this one would be worth a shot.The video consists of a few different 'dance routines.' Many of these moves really aren't anything more than the same moves you would catch on any of the gajillion bellydance videos out there - and if you are just getting started on exercising, interested in the exercising/dance genre of video, I would suggest you start in the bellydancing section first.This DVD was a good low impact workout, and I did break a sweat the first few times, but the moves can be a little difficult for beginning dancers to master.On the bright side, the music to the routines wasn't bad, it was relatively low on the cheesy comments about how learning dance makes a woman a goddess, and it's actually fun. :)

stones fell out

Not DTS, Not even a good picture

I have learned a big lesson through the purchase of this video, some groups will show their fans respect and give them DTS with high quality video. Not the case here. This is simply a VHS version recorded to DVD. Not to brag but I could have done this in my basement and produced better quality. If you do not believe me, purchase this DVD then purchase the The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over. I guarantee you will want you money back.

NOT stainless steel

I've been looking for stainless steel cooling racks and when I found it here I ordered 3. When they arrived, I noticed the surface flaking. Which indicates these are chrome or nickel plated. These are NOT stainless steel as advertised.Update: One of the reviewer states that the term "stainless steel" means "machine washable". Stainless steel is steel with a percentage of Chromium and another element which makes them resistant to rust. If you've heard the term 18/10 stainless those are the percentage of material that makes them a certain grade of stainless steel. I still have the racks because i can't seem to find stainless steel racks. The search goes on.Update: Looks like Amazon finally got around to taking "Stainless Steel" off the title.

Awesome Album!!! GO BUY IT!!

This is a much more personal album than their debut. It seems like their lyrics and music just overall matured quite a deal. Definitely an awesome album worth buying!! My favorite track would be Emotionless. In this song, Benji and Joel spill their hearts out to their dad. Although it's kind of depressing to listen to compared to their other upbeat songs, it's a very very well-written, well-composed track. :-) Overall, if I could, I'd rate the album 20 out of 5!!! haha :-) Check it out, definitely!

Didn't even open the package...

Not sure where this box was kept in the warehouse but the plastic covering the package was dusty and yellow with a few small holes...and I guess I thought there were more types of buttons and mechanisms for the child to practice on. Didn't get to actually play with the toy as I returned it immediately...but up close I don't think it would have held my 3 year old's interest long. Cute idea...but I'm going to shop around for another style.

Beautiful paper!

I have some books that I keep on my nightstand to read at bedtime, but the covers are not too attractive. I bought this paper to cover them. It worked beautifully.The paper is thick, and feels kind of textured, which you can't tell from the photo. One sheet was enough to cover a pretty large book and two small ones. They make the nightstand books look wonderful.I also bought some white textured paper for some other books. That looks OKAY, but not as gorgeous as books covered in this paper do.I'm going to get more paper, other colors and designs, and cover other books on my book shelf, books that I give to girlfriends as presents, or even cover journals that I buy for friends. This way it doesn't matter if they have a plain cover.They'll be works of art, and a treasured gift with something like this beautiful paper as the cover.It's kind of expensive, but heavy enough that I think it'll last a long time.Will buy more!

Talent without good songs.

It is obvious that Clay Aiken has talent- there is no fooling about that. He is definitely one of the most talented pop stars out there right now. However, the people producing this album did a poor job showcasing the talent that Clay Aiken holds. Every song on this album sounds the same. The emotions portrayed by Clay are not very diverse; every emotion fits into either the category of "I am singing about pain" or "We are going to get through the pain". The truth is that this album is painful enough to actually sit and listen to. The only song on this less-than-quality debut that is worth listening to is the title track, "Measure Of A Man." This song is in a realm of its own, actually having a worthwhile message.In summation, the talent is there, the album is not. Maybe next time, Clay.

Don't waste your money

Unfortunately, I bought two of these blenders based on their good reviews in Consumer Reports or Cooks Illustrated--can't remember which. Problems include:- Shape of jar, which makes thick mixes like milkshakes not blend evenly. The blade just spins while the shake stays in place. You have to constantly stop the blender and stir with a wooden spoon.- Burning smell (resulting from the above, I believe).- Five speeds are useless. They're too close together.If these were more expensive, I'd spend the energy to return them. But as it stands, I'll just toss 'em and buy something better. Don't waste your money.

Meh.

First, I just have to say... waaaay too many exclamation marks in this book--at least one (usually more) on nearly every page. For example, from page 40 (hardcover edition): "Blood! Thick puddles in the grass! But there was no body!" Exclamation marks do not equal excitement! Or tension! Or drama! Good, tight writing, on the other hand, does. Not that this book was bad, but it did, unfortunately, tend to be a little superficial and "cutesy". To put it another way, these characters behave and speak like grown-ups think sixteen year olds behave and speak.

It is NOT a good tutorial book

This book overly abused cross-references. The first paragraph may refer you to the third paragraph and the second paragraph may refer you to the first paragragh. Following the references, you will be running around the get lost. If you trim off this absolutely un-necessary WEB of references, the book could lose 10% of its weight.

Great

Ok, so this movie may have lacked a lot of elements that make movies great movies great, but it did have something most high-budget movies don't, a good plot. Ok, so I know it was about aliens who try to take over the world in a very inefficient way (the could only blow-up one building at a time) and lots of other things of that nature, but it did it in a believeable way. The actors held the script together. And maybe it was silly, but isn't that what movies are all about? Who wants to see a movie about how bad life really is?

1 star, and I'm an ID proponent

Well, I've read many ID titles including Behe, Denton and Johnson (I even got to hear Philip speak once) and I'd say there are better presentations than this one. I've wanted to read it for awhile since it was considered once for inclusion in some science curricula (I believe). If you choose to read it, read the chapters first and then go back and read the Intro. (or better yet, read the intro only and then pitch the book into the donation box as you'll have the gist)

Worked great - for about a month

I ordered two of these cables. They worked great for about a month, and then the first one died. About a month later the second one also stopped working. Since then I've replaced them with a set from another manufacturer and those have been working for nearly three years. Even though these have a great price, I wouldn't suggest ordering them - you're probably better off ordering a higher priced set that will last longer.

S.D.H.

I've really enjoyed this one so far. Most the other reviews aren't very good. Frame rate seems to suffer some but from what I've found it's still very playable. Lots of destroying bots and property. Game play in deathmatch is at a breakneck pace and you must move or die quickly. I like the graphics also even though I can't run them up at where I'd like.

Never trust the re-make

This movie is based on a german film named "Bella Martha" which is actually one of my favorite movies. I couldn't even get through this one because it was so horrible in comparison.The plot is basically the same - a control obsessed chef is burdened with her dead sister's daughter, and a new hire is making the moves on her. The characters have a lot more depth, though, and the cinematography is perfect with the different moods of the movie. If you were tempted at all by the plot of "No Reservations" go rent "Bella Martha" instead.Mostly Martha

Cheaply made

I knew it was a cheap grill when I bought it (obviously).Pros: It's a charcoal grill and can cook things.Cons: Rusted completely through the bottom in less than a year. Spend the extra $15 and get a Weber, because you'll need to buy one anyway in about 9 months. Would work OK if you are planning to store this inside most of the time and only use it on certain occasions (like tailgates), otherwise the weather will kill it before long.

BORING

granted a very "skilled" guitarist but i cant appreciate the melodies the playing or anything about the songs. this cd [is bad]. maybe he should learn to not play the guitar. he doesnt seem to understand the concept of silence which is as crucial to a good song as the notes are. there will always be guitar players that rely on flash to win over an audience and this is definitely one of them. put this in the trash...

Awesome TV - buy it now!

This is a fantastic TV at an incredible price. The Big Box stores have this item for $900 more, even before taxes. The picture is beautiful. The controls are simple. Hooked up a DVD and a Media Center PC in minutes with very little tweaking required. It is way cool to have all my downloaded media content available with my remote control. Delivery was pain free...1/2 hour delivery window after 5pm...gotta love it.I have absolutely no regrets with this purchase. Four months of research has paid off big-time.

An inside look at this wonderfully harsh province.

I really enjoyed the The Shipping News although I found much of the sentence structure to be slightly difficult to read. The wonderful descriptions and characters made up for that. It was like a return to the past for me--having lived in Newfoundland for 2 years in the 1960's. I can hardly wait for the movie version!

Good quality, saves money

I always wanted a gold basket and purchased it together with a Cuisinart Grind-n-Brew. It is of high quality materials and labor, and works great. I don't use it now because I don't like the sediment left in the bottom of the pot and cup. I knew it did this because I read it in the reviews. As a personal preference, I continue to use paper filters and keep my gold filter in a zip loc bag for a backup.

Excellent historical review of hypnosis

Waterfield is clearly an extremely talented researcher and does a terrific job telling the story of hypnosis. The chapter on Mesmer is fascinating. Waterfield does an excellent job offering a variety of perspectives although he does offer his opinions at times. I found this to a be a very balanced view of hypnosis covering it from a variety of angles. Waterfield did an excellent job researching the history of hypnosis and sharing his findings with the reader.

Long, drawn out, and boring

If you think "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" was a good movie, you will love this one. If you are into long searing stares, deep cranial symbolism, long drawn out looks at dead and dying pigeons, consistent views of clouds and sky, then you will like this. Also, please understand that my idea of a movie with lots of depth and symbolism is Lethal Weapon III, then take my review into that context. Take out the extended extra looks at various scenes, cut this movie down to around 75 minutes, and it would not be bad. This one lasts around 7 hours, at least it will feel that way.

VERY OVERRATED MOVIES!

The Star Wars "saga" (or whatever you wanna call it) are, in my opinion, incredibly overrated movies. There are three movies: Star Bores, The Empire Strikes Out, and Return of the Dead-Eye (j/k). All three of them are sci-fi/fantasy films that move along at an incredibly slow pace. Think of a snail wading through a vast sea of syrup if you will...that's how slow-moving they are. And how is "May the force be with you", a memorable line? It's more like: May the dorks be with you! But seriously, these movies are made by dorks for dorks. Okay, not everyone who likes these films are dorks, but there are some obsessive ones... Anyway, I don't recommend The Star Wars Trilogy to anyone. If you're a parent *don't let you're young children watch these films* it will warp their minds. Good day!

Good Grammy Choice

This CD deserves accolaides. I love trains and my only reservation is that he didn't write any of the songs. As a teenager, I commuted to school from Connecticut to New York by train. Later I collected all the Hallmark train Christmas ornaments. The kids of today don't know trains the way few of us can appreciate riding horses for transportation. Who says this has to be for kids.

Very few moves, repeats

This DVD was a letdown. She does just a few moves, and does them to exhaustion. So, of course it burns because you are doing the same move. Beginners would not have the strength in their legs to do these workouts, but if they do a little each day they will build up strength. No dancing in this video. Doubt I'll use this more than once or twice...

Best I ever used!

First of all I read all the reviews. Consumer Reports rated it the best so I bought it. The people who said it was made cheap and it would not last really helped me. It caused me to be a lot more careful when using it. I first just ran it in a well worn (dirty) spot with water only and wow what a difference. Then I cleared out the furniture from that area the next week and went to work. This time I used the liquid cleaner and rinsed with water twice. My carpet of 9 years looks better than I could remember it. The quick time the carpet takes to dry is amazing. My suggestion is to take your time and be easy with changing the containers out when the liquid is dirty. I am sure it will last you for years.

Shuttle didn't last a game

I have to disagree with previous reviews on the durability of this brand of shuttlecock. Two or three feathers would break-off mid-way or so in a 21-point game. And we are not talking about a heavy smashing, "do or die" game. Thereafter, the shuttle has an awkward spin. The shuttle also feels a little heavy when new. The yellow colored feathers did not add to the visibility during play.I would not buy them again. Not worth the price and high S&H; costs. I was disappointed with the purchase.

Information overload

This book tells the tale of the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa in 1883, with the resulting destruction and death of about 35,000 people. However, in addition to that story, the author has included page after page of info about the formation of the earth, the history of the East Indies, Dutch colonialism, geology, geography, plate tectonics, and a whole host of other, somewhat intersting, subjects. These additions really bog down the story, and at times tend to have the eyes glaze over while reading. As long as you can slog through the mundane parts, and read about the eruption, you will enjoy this book. If you like your nonfiction laced and larded with facts like an encyclopedia, you will also enjoy this book. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.

Well it made good waffles, but one day the hinge pins broke. Black & Decker told me when I called that they do not sell replacement parts for it. I guess they want you to buy a new waffle maker, which I will. But you can bet it won't be Black & Decker. I don't care if it's just a waffle maker or if it's a car, the company that sells a product must stand behind it or I'm looking elsewhere. And that goes for Black & Decker drills, saws, and other tools as well. I'm done with them.

Not your grandma's can opener

I don't know the number of my Swing-A-Way. I bought it at K-Mart, to replace my older one. The new one is definitely light weight, just by hefting them I can tell that.I went looking for a replacement because I have been having a lot of trouble opening cans lately. I don't know what the problem is, but I am buying undented cans and then when I go to open them, the top is just a little oval and not totally round.Any lid that is not TOTALLY round, leaves two hinged places where the lid will not open. Not at all like the old Swing-A-Way models!!! They opened almost anything!So, today I cut myself, trying to tip the lid to remove the contents. I am so disgusted and discouraged. Next, I'm going to look into the EZ-DUZ-IT, to see if it is really like my old can opener.Amco Swing-A-Way 407WH Portable Can Opener, White
