0	M ost features work	The product was easy to set up and was in operation in our small office in under an hour. However, the VPN functionality is unusable. I spent countless hours on the phone with LINKSYS tech support and was never able to set up a user based VPN session either using PPT or the QuickLink software that comes with the router. The buzz on the internet is that a windows machine that has at some point or another run any type of VPN software will never be able to connect. I don't know if that is true, but I returned one of these already and plan to return the other as soon as I replace it with a competing product. So, if you don't plan to use the VPN functionality this is a great box. If you do, buy something else.	negative
1	You Must Buy this Book!	If you have any interest whatsoever in learning the true occult science as taught by the ancient mystery schools, then this is the definitive text. It's serious and erudite. It is not for the casual tarot card thrower. This is for the true mystic who wants to evolve as fully as possible in this lifetime. A rare and invaluable treasure!	positive
0	review of Peltor tactical 6s	replacing the batteries was a real issue and I punctured the ear membrane twice. Have since bought the upgraded ones and so far they are better in function and ease of battery replacement. They are also more effective is cancelling noise and easier to initially adjust. The top is very hard and I had to add a cushion so that they were comfortable. They were light and did not affect my shooting the shotgun.	negative
1	Thanks To You	I have been searching for a copy of this CD for a long time and thanks to Amazon I have received one in top condition.	positive
0	Nope Nope Nope	This does not work, maybe it would work if your were to smash yourself in the nose with it each time you cut onions, that way you wont be able to smell for a while.	negative
1	I think I'm in a time warp...	I am a baby boomer, turning (ugh) 50 this year but swear I don't feel it. I remember this album so, so very well from my 20's..."Children of the Sun" being my favorite. I went over to a guy's apartment and brought it with me and stupidly left it there. Now here I am with two kids in college, ordering Dino on amazon.com so I can play it for myself, and see if my daughters will feel his music the way I did. I love his voice and the guitars. I just ordered the CD and I am psyched to play it as loud as I want (Dad can't tell me to turn it down anymore) and either (a) get goosebumps or (b) say "What was I thinking?" Something tells me (a) will be my final answer.	positive
1	"Makes James Bond look like a powder-puff"	My father turned me on to Matt Helm a few years back and I have now completed and read the entire set. Classic counter-spy stuff that in my opinion is better than the Ian Fleming stories. Yes, it's just as male-chauvinistic and ridiculous in it's 60's sex-infused culture, but a real pulp blast, that I cannot recommend enough!	positive
0	Good to start but...	Received as anniversary present from my wife two years ago. Purchased to be installed under counter. Unit worked well until installed. The materials available via retailer stated could be installed under counter with no clearance required. However, the left side unit no longer cools (actually temp inside is higher than ambient temp in room) when under the counter (have 1 1/2 in on top and 1/2 inch on each side). Finally, the manual (which poor me, I believed the seller reps) states minimums are 3 in on top and 2 in on each side. With these specs (3 in on top) it cannot be built in underneath a standard height counter (33 1/2 + 3 > 34 in standard cabinet height). Now I have a very expensive wine cabinet not wine cooler.	negative
0	Poor customer service. Misleading practices.	Count me in as another disgruntled customer who will never purchase a Sigg bottle. Mine was bought with the old BPA lining, which is scratched and peeling. The bottle also dented easily and was hard to clean. I've sent it back to Sigg under their replacement program but have yet to hear back from them (their website buries the replacement program). I found Sigg's CEO to be misleading, if not unethical.I've since moved on to Kleen Kanteen.	negative
1	no bark collar	collar worked great. I have 2 dogs a shitzu and a wheaton terrer, yes i said terrer. I have a young son at home and my dogs will bark at every noise all day long. Well getting him to stay asleep during nap time sometimes is a challenge. These collars were the answer. Dogs barked maybe twice after putting them on and didn't make a sound after that, I just use them when I need them to be quiet so maybe 2 or 3 hours a day. but worked perfect for me..	positive
1	It serves its purpose!	For the guy that loves the outdoors and all the wonders that it provides, "Outside" is the magazine for him. Filled with straightforward info on travel, workout and health tips, and those little gadgets that make outdoor activities easier to tackle, this publication hits the nail on the head.I would've never discovered it if it hadn't been offered as a one of the perks for renewing my subscription with a magazine readers' service, and for that, I am grateful.	positive
1	Amazing film	Its strange that this wasnt released here in the UK. but if you want a good fun blood splatter funny horror, then this is for you. Also if you look at the region and it says region unknown they will play on the UK Xbox high defintion drive.	positive
1	Got a Child Who's a Horse Lover?	My son (now 5) has always loved horses, so when he saw this movie for the first time he was absolutely entranced. He'd received a stick horse for his birthday when he turned 3, and soon after when he watched the movie he'd ride right along with Jim (he's got all the choreography down pat). He's pounded away miles and miles right in front of the TV, so much that we joke that we'll have to replace that part of the carpet before the rest of the floor. The best thing is that I don't have to worry about what he's seeing. No swearing, violence, or anything else you'd normally have to worry about. Definitely one I'm happy for him to have as a favorite movie. Besides, he definitely gets a lot of exercise!	positive
0	Mediocre performance	My favorite of this CD is BWV 546 which I believe can reveal an organist's strenths and weaknesses. Frankly, Rubsam is not near the caliber of world class organists like Daniel Roth, Olivier Latry or Sophie-Marie Choplin. Ms Choplin has a rendition of BWV 546 on YouTube that is superb, not only in the rendition of that work but the registry she selected on that great organ at St Sulpice. Rubsam, by comparison plods through this great work with an uninspired registry that fails to bring out the greatness of this work of Bach's.	negative
0	Andy Breckman's latest is a huge disappointment.	Anyone wanting more of the humor and creativity of Breckman's first two albums will be disappointed in Death Defying Radio Stunts. Rather than the witty folksongs we've come to love, Breckman pawns off a public radio telethon format, the low point of which occurs when listeners call in and sing 100 bottles of beer on the wall. Breckman and co-host Freeman seem amused but the skit is as tiresome as the real song. The comedy bits go down hill from there.	negative
0	Poorly constructed and hard to fathom scifi/ I am not sure what?	As far as I could follow this book is about a guy who lives in a so-called paradise controlled by a giant machine. He has some unique brainwaves or something and the machine gets kind of obsessed with him. Machine love? Not well written at all. It has a plot that is tough to follow. Characters that enter and then are graphically killed shortly after weird pseudo sexual encounters. The main charcter goes into the underground and meets mutants who are all naked. The women in the book all seem to be stupid and unrealistic and written as bland sexually driven bimbos. It men are not much better written. The frequent jumping between visions, computer brain interuptions, hallucinations, and other cosmic images make for difficult reading. I gave up about half way through the book as the story line just got lost and it all seemed very meaningless.	negative
1	Great Solid Album	I happened on Everett Greene via the Marvin Chandler/Jack Gilfoy Christmas album called "When a Child Is Born," which gets my vote for one of THE great Chrstmas albums: soul, jazz, and a true devotionality. These guys (Chandler is the pianist on the "Iv'e Got Love" album too) are completely for real--the best in jazz, nothing gimicky or overplayed, just right there in the center of the heart and soul. These are the real musicians that seem to be there in plenty around the world yet rarely get the praise they deserve in our hyped-up system of recognition. I'm so glad an album like this got recorded. On this album "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" will send chills down your spine, and that's not the only one either, but when I sampled that online I knew I had to download this album!	positive
0	poor quality	The books looks so so for dummeis who just starts creating web pages. Unfortunately it fails to deal with the major issues on dhtml. There are better materials online such as Danstein ,siteexpert and Webference. If you prefer the printed material, try the Danny Goodman's Dynamic HTML the Definite Guide'.	negative
0	take your chances	This is an upgrade to my Tivo series 2 DVR (which I LOVED). Just got it and seems to be okay but it is extremely noisy!!! I can hear it buzzing over my TV 10 feet away! The Tivo site says that noise is normal and depending on the machine it can be very loud. I checked Tivo community sites and others have had the same problem. If I have to send this back to the manufacturer over an issue that Tivo considers "normal" I'll give this zero stars. Way too much money ($600) for that cheesy, noisy fan!!	negative
1	Great Purchase Experience	This item was received extremely quickly and was in great condition. I was a little disappointed when I saw that none of the photos in the book were in color. They are all black and white, which makes the photos of each of the steps a little difficult to see.	positive
1	Good Product!	My cat loves toy mice but it is so difficult to find ones with a shaker inside and made with REAL fur.These toys have both and the cats love them!	positive
0	Far too Shabby!	I bought Mace because, well, I think he's really cool. Butfrom the aotc toys that I own, he is by far the worst.Mace is positioned in a stiff pose that is cool, but you can'treally have any fun playing with him. His eyes are closed and hismouth is wide open and I find this very hard to play with.(unless it is a death scene or when he gets really mad)He does come with an amazing lightsaber that has a magneticattration to his hand to re-anact force power. I find that hislightsaber falls out of his hand without much presure and thismakes for for some pretty frustrating battles....Overall I would not recommend this toy, unless your obsessedwith the Geonosis Rescue, and love to re-anact it.Far Too Shabby!	negative
0	Steeler-American Metal The Steeler Anthology	Ok, this CD is a great archive of material of one of the most popular bands of the early 80's metal club circuit. It does fall short in a couple of areas though. The original single version of "Cold Day in Hell" is great, but it would have been better to have some of the songs from the original Steeler CD on this compliation just for the sound quality. What you get here are demo versions and live versions of the songs from the original release in sub par quality. The live versions are barely passable. You would need to be a serious Keel/Steeler/Yngwie Malmsteen to buy this CD.	negative
0	HP LCD Monitor w2007	Please do not buy this monitor, if you want to use this monitor for more than one year because it will die after one year and the factory warranty lasts only a year. There are many monitors that come with 3 year warranty in the market, you are better off buying one of those monitors. My monitor doesn't get any power so I have to buy a new one as it is cheaper to buy one than fixing the existing one. The CRT I had worked well till I got rid of it for this one, I shouldn't have done that. Good luck to those who are still willing to buy this product.	negative
1	"Wolf Rider"	I think Wolf Rider was great because it created excitment in the first few pages of the book.The setting is mostly in the apartment and on the college campus and in Andy's school.The main characters are mostly Andy, Nina, Jeoy's Dad, and Dr. Lucus.Some interesting plot lines is when Andy is trying to get out of Dr. Lucus' car ,and some others are when Dr. Lucus calls and says he just killed somebody.	positive
0	Works great, then breaks	I bought these earphones because the ones that I got with my iPod didn't work very well. When i received them they worked great and they were a lot better then the earphones that came with the iPod. Then about after a month or so left earphone just stopped working and you have to jiggle it around a bit to hear anything out of it. There was no damage done to it and it shows no physical damage. My theory is that the wire inside the insulation broke and when they connect you hear a little bit of whats playing. I am very disappointed and they should have lasted a lot longer.	negative
1	Family Entertainment	Uplifting film that teaches the importance of family and hard work. Beautiful scenery.	positive
1	Beautifully written	This was a beautifully written, mystery/love story. I am a senior citizen (66), but the characters were vivid, and well developed.	positive
1	Good Music and a good seller	Our transaction was trouble free, the delivery was prompt. I would recommend this seller. By the way...the CD is also very good.	positive
1	reasonable fluorescent bulbs	They take a second or two to turn on, but once on give off a nice warm light. I have had no problems with flickering after about a month of use. I also purchased the 'cool white' variety (which are harsh and much bluer), and highly recommend the 'soft white' over those. If fitting them in a fixture keep in mind that these bulbs are slightly bigger and squarer than normal incandescents (however the 60-Watt version is much much tinier).	positive
1	Great little trimmer	I have used other hand held trimmers and I think that this one is tops.The only thing that held me back from full five stars is the battery. After full charge it works great, I have around a 5-10 min. section that I need to used it and after I do that and need to use it again it seems to have lost a great deal of battery.	positive
0	"4" for content, "1" for execution	Ouch! If there is a book out there with more typographical errors, i sure haven't seen one. This book averages one error per two pages. I won't blame the author for these errors, as they should have been caught by the editors and proofreaders (SHAMELESS PLUG: New Riders, i'd be happy to proofread any book for you).As for actual content, WOW! It's one of the top five java books in my library.If you can tolerate reading a book that has a plethora of typos, this is a book for you. otherwise, maybe wait until the 2nd edition..	negative
1	acid jazz at its best	MY definition of acid jazz : music that's jazzy ,funky, groovey & rockin' all at the same time. that's what his cd is.if you enjoyed DTTB's first 5 or 6 cd's you will LOVE this cd.if you enjoy THIS cd you'll LOVE their other cd's! these guys are GROOVEY!	positive
0	Not The Results You Want	Our dog hated the citronella smell... so it's a very effective correction tool. However, once this device goes off, the entire unit smells like, and is covered in, the citronella. This causes 2 issues... 1, the dog never stops smelling citronella therefore is always being corrected even when not barking and 2, it desensitizes the dog to the corrective smell therefore making it eventually ineffective in correction. Our dog hated the smell so bad, she would go into full on panic attacks smelling it, with or without the device having sprayed her... that's great if they only smell it during the bark... but the smell is EVERYWHERE. WIth the sensitivity of the dogs sense of smell, you might as well shove their nose 24/7 in a citronella candle. If they can ever figure out how to correct this issue, it will be effective.	negative
1	Dog shampoo review	My dog has really itchy skin. I bought this product and found that it seemed to help cut down on the itchiness. I would recommend this product--the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't take care of the itching completely. However, there is a noticeable difference!	positive
0	Ginny-lou	A girl called Ginny-Lou visits town and the kids are horrible to her because she is a hilly-billy.Only Elizabethh ill befriend her.	negative
0	Good movie, bad music.	The movie is good, has nice action scenes, the terrorists are bad but not as bad as the real ones (well this is a pre 9/11 movie) so I could give this movie 3 stars; however, the music is horrendous, it sound as a Saturday morning GI Joe cartoon. It makes you not to care for the characters because it reminds you that it's just all fictional and that the good guys are going to end up killing the bad guys and there is not tension in it. If this type of music wouldn't be in the movie, or even if there would be no music at all, it would be better. The director should have put this music only at the end credits, that's it. So because of this music, and being generous, I give this movie two stars.Alan Sylvestri is a good composer but I think, this is one of his worst jobs.	negative
0	it broke on the first day...	When I first opened the package, I thought it was a little flimsy. I thought the zippers would be nice so I could tighten as I progress. When I tried it on, it was so large, that I had to put it on the smallest adjustment possible.Now, I'm not a small guy. I'm 6'1" 220 lbs. with a little belly.The next day, I put it on and wore it to work. It felt great. I could feel the heat from the belt around my belly. After a couple hours, though, it started feeling loose again. I took it off and saw that it had split at the seams.As I said previously, the material was really flimsy. The neoprene is SO thin, there's really no support.	negative
0	Why bother?	I feel that this is a rip-off. It has 1/3 of the coffee of the drinkable brands, and lacks taste and character, such as is possible with other decafs. It makes me want to return an otherwise good coffee maker. If I were Tassimo I would not license this product unless they gave it a full-size portion of coffee. I agree with other reviewers that this is like drinking diluted coffee. I wish Starbucks or another maker would weigh in on decafs for Tassimo.	negative
1	Best Wrinkle cream I have tried	I have been using this product for many years, now and again when new creams come onto the market, I will swap over to them.But I always revert back to Roc Retinol. It is simply the best ever, providing you follow the instructions and use a good SPF.	positive
0	Probably the Only one	I am probably the only one who doesn't like Spider-Man. I did not like this movie for two reasons, the first reason was the special effects were really bad and most of the time you could see how fake it looked on the movie screen and imagine how it will look on television, the second reason was The Green Goblin he was not convincing as a villian and he wasn't even scary. It even took a little from Batman(1989) in the parade scene when Macy Gray sings and in Batman Prince sings. I'm sorry to people who love this movie but I just don't like this movie at all.	negative
0	Loud, grotty and nasty	After many, many comments on my last review which had to be deleted because of the inane, rude and downright filthy comments made by people who can't tolerate opposing views, I have seen 6 of the episodes, suffering through all just in case somebody told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I still think that it is an overblown and waffling series. How anybody can say that this story is a masterpiece is beyond me. So to all GOT addicts who disagree with me have at it with the comments, it will not change what I think is a nasty, seedy and altogether ordinary series.	negative
0	They Can't Be Saved.	A spaceship crashes on a planet similar to Earth, but with one major exception: it's filled with man-eating beasts. The rest of the movie's plot follows the crew as they attempt to adjust to their new life.That's it. Pretty lame plot, huh. Well, the dialogue is worse that the plot, the acting worse than the dialogue, and the music worse than the acting. The cinematography is horrible as is the lighting.The only upscale about the film are the stop-action dinosaurs which are well done. Normally, something like that would improve the quality of the film somewhat. Not here, though. Everything is so bad, that not even the dinosaurs can save this film from utter disaster.	negative
0	Not what I expected	I ordered this set for $69 now it's priced at $49. Not good. The stainless is the cheap stamped out stuff, very light weight. I had purchased a similar Oneida pattern several years ago for my parents and it was beautiful. This is not the same quality. You can't tell from the picture which set is which. I'm very disappointed.	negative
1	Great movie, Bad DVD	I was thrilled to get this movie on DVD. I was disappointed, however, that the DVD was in mono. I contacted Full Moon and they explained that the stereo master, which they had, was damaged, and they had to use the mono master. They said going back to the elements to recreate a new stereo soundtrack would not be profitable since it's a niche movie to begin with. I guess I understand, but the sword fight in stereo was fun!	positive
1	A saw every professional and handyman should have	I came to know this type of saw when I was stationed in Japan. Brought back two and unfortunately they finally had their day. Was glad to find this one. Absolutely great!	positive
1	This is a preemprtive "shh". THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!	The lines are the best. Although the average person may think this movie to be somewhat silly, it is those of who enjoy a good spoof that will take it for what it is meant to be, FUNNY!! Mike Myers is great in this and So I Married an Ax Murderer. I highly recommend both.	positive
0	Looks great on the counter but.....	I bought this toaster because of it's looks. I wanted something I could leave out that would look ok. I had it for about 5 months before it broke. The toast will no longer pop up. You have to unplug it to get the toast up. I would not buy this toaster again no matter how great it looks on my counter.	negative
1	Scanner Rocks	Great scanner. Small footprint. It has jammed a couple of times but resets easily. Easy to use. Scanner rocks.	positive
0	Junk	VERY hard to cut anything--VERY VERY DULL blades, didn't cut straight, very large/bulky....sent back to amazon for refund.	negative
1	the ultimate review	this toy is the greatest toy i have ever played with. every time i played with it was a new adventure.	positive
1	Amazing	I bought the CD Atlantic Shore by the Three Irish Tenors and have not stopped palying it!! It's just wonderful! I play it all the time in my car, the music is so lovely it takes all the stress out of driving! I have just come to Ireland on Holidays and saw the Three Irish Tenors in The National Concert Hall in Dublin - the most amazing concert I've ever seen - and they donated all the proceeds to the Special Olympics Ireland - I think that these guys are something special themselves. Buy the cd, it will truly raise your spirits!	positive
0	A rap artist stealing other people's sounds , how typical !	Usher ,in his Confessions album used keyboard riffs which were taken from my songs , without my permission and without paying for it.In his song called "Yeah" , synthesizer riffs were taken from my song "Girl from Istanbul" , which I had composed and posted on my website , before christmast 2003 , way before Usher's album was released.Rap artists(and producers) like him are stealing other people's songs and sounds just to sell albums and make money , but the general public is considering them great artists , which is a shame really!To have your unbiased opinion about this subject , please visit my website Anatolia.iuma.com and give a listen to my song " Girl from Istanbul ".	negative
1	Rolling Stones Singles Collection	This collection of Rolling Stones numbers is far more detailed than I will probably ever be able to use (unfortunately!), but the few songs I have picked up on were all in the correct key to play along with original tracks. So, it would appear to me to be an accurate rendition and a very good reference. I am certainly not sorry I bought it, but I will be looking for a simpler songbook to compliment the material presented. A couple of my all-time favourites are missing (e.g. "Cry to Me" and "Under the Boardwalk"). Maybe the Rolling Stones Fakebook is the answer?	positive
1	Good cards for sharing and using	This is the second time I have ordered these playing cards from Barclay. The quality is good and I share them with family and friends.I live in a continuing care community where we have lots of card players.I teach some games and share the cards as well.The cards were purchased at Amazon.	positive
0	1970 -1980	Please provide the titles of the songs on this CD then I will be guided on the review, otherwise I would like to make an order after knowing the the songs content. Thanks in advance.	negative
1	Challenging, turn-based strategy	If you like turn-based strategy games, this is the best there is. There are endless possibilities in this game. It also seems to be historically accurate. If you like real-time strategy, you will be dissappointed. It's all about having the right expectations with this game.	positive
0	Not worth the money	I purchased this in hope I could get some Crystal skills and develop some reports from my accounting system. Instead I got a home-made training manual that goes to a training course I will never attend and that is useless to me.The manual itself rambles on and on and does not even cover the information I found myself just using Crystal and looking in the help file.	negative
0	Welded blade breaks out of box	Vermont American not what it used to be. This is my 2nd VA blade. Neither lasted. This one has crack in bad weld out of box. Broke before getting to saw. Don't waste your money.	negative
1	will leave you in tears and envy	i have read dozens of romance books, this one by far depicts the love between a man and woman more beautifully, pure, sweet, and simply wonderful than any other. THe way she ( the author) describes the herione and hero's feeling for each other is just wonderful. It makes you yearn for the ove this two share, and you fall in love with the characters, the setting, everything. Buy this book.	positive
1	Hefty Kitchen Utensil	This is why I always will purchase OXO kitchen products. They are hefty and well made. I have several OXO kitchen products in the home. Just feels good in you hand. Easy to control while peeling. Others do not give you the control due to small handles that slip when wet. You can really apply pressure when needed without the worry of the peeler slipping out of your hand. First day I got this, I used to peel potatoes for a meal I was having that evening. I have all the OXO kitchen utensils in the same drawer. This way I don't have to look for the right tool for the job. Just like all the OXO products. Some I have had for years and never have had any issues with them.	positive
0	Buyer Beware!	"Disappointment" doesn't do justice to this long-anticipated release. What it really is is an insult. Parts 2 and 3 are incorrectly framed, the French language track is out of synch, and there are subtitle occlusion problems with a number of players. It doesn't take long to fix these problems, yet Universal is making buyers wait until LATE FEBRUARY, three months after the release, to offer replacements, which you will have to ship to Universal at your own expense. DO NOT BUY this or any Universal DVD.	negative
1	can't put it down	I couldn't put it down! A compelling, fascinating, well-crafted story. Lots of fun.	positive
1	Thank God I'm reading this before the film comes out...	Because then I'd have to see Robert Pattinson's derpy face every time I imagine Duroy's face.Better get this thing finished before the film so no one who sees me reading it thinks I'm interested in Twilight.But it might be too late.	positive
1	Underneath all the blood and gore, a good book lies....	The moment I first picked up this book, I could not put it down. Yet I must admit all of the blood and gore is a quick turn off, you learn to look past it all to what really lies in this book. The plot is a real gripper. Not telling you much of nothing about what it is that is killing all of these people, dogs, and anything else that moves. But slowly but surely giving it away. I can't say that this is not a good book because in the end it all comes to another great king novel. But this one is for die hard King fans only.	positive
0	Great Idea, Terrible Construction	I received this as a gift from work and was very much hoping that it would be useful for various jobs around the house. Putting it together wasn't too bad, a little bit of a struggle. Used it for a month, then threw it out. My opinion is that it is a very poorly made, dangerous piece of garbage. We considered giving it away rather than throwing it out, but we didn't want to be responsible for someone possibly hurting themselves while trying to use it.	negative
1	Missing In Action The Beginning.	I just recently viewed this movie again. I enjoy it more each time. I like action movies and expect to be entertained. The action of this movie and the theme of good over evil adds to the enjoyment of this movie. Some people are not only offended by the portrayal of how the Viet Cong treated our soldiers, but refuse to believe such war attrocities occurred.. Some pretty awful tortures were performed in this movie involving fire, rats and even Viet Cong whores being used to torture and humiliate the POWs. This is not for the squeamish who know nothing about war. But if you like action movies, this one is great.	positive
1	An involving survey and history charts the ongoing `war'	Gilles Kepel is a professor of Middle East Studies at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris, and is the perfect author for WAR FOR MUSLIM MINDS: ISLAM AND THE WEST: his background succeeds in synthesizing the wealth of detail charting the breakdown of Middle East/Western relations. Chapters provide both a history and analysis of the breakdown of communications between East and West, pinpointing changing policies and party lines on both sides and analyzing the effects of terrorism on the peace process. An involving survey and history charts the ongoing `war'.	positive
0	Product does not work with windows XP	The product is most likly good. But It when I try to install it to my computer, the class install manager denied my request to install it. This was very frustrating beacaues I have to return it. The Micro Innovations customer service was terrible, the people would lie over the phone just to get rid of you. The man said he would e-mail me the drivers I needed to install it to my computer with windows XP. But never sent them. Non of this is Amazons fault but I wish that they show weather its compatible with windows XP.	negative
0	Still Confused	There has to something in Japanese movies that I don't get. Thinking of The Ring and The Grudge of two movies that I don't understand at all.When I read about the movie, it sounded promising: young American woman residing in Japan with her boyfriend. She is temporarily assigned to be a caretaker for a woman with severe sleeping conditions. The house is plagued by the presence of murderous ghosts, the result of a curse. The curse is born from someone dying in a powerful rage. Seemed interesting enough but I was wrong. It's almost as if there should have been a prequel to this movie. I don't even know if I'd recommend it or not... I'm still confused.	negative
1	Great product	This is a great product. The band is a little weak, so be careful. Other than that, it's reliable and easy to use. I do recommend this watch. God bless.	positive
1	Her Best	Of all her albums (including Fox Confessor...), this is the best. First, it's staggering that her voice can be as amazing live as it is on the studio albums; really, it's something special. Second, her 'magnetism' comes out much more in the live recording than it does in the studio albums. When I listen to the studio albums I feel like something is missing; what is on this album is exactly what's missing. It's like the difference between a Grateful Dead live album versus a Grateful Dead studio album (well, maybe not that severe, but you get the point.)I'd recommend buying this album before any of the others. Standout tracks include 'Train From Kansas City', 'Soulful Shade of Blue', 'If You Knew', and 'Rated X'.	positive

1	Loved it as a child and I love it as a parent	This is a very special book of lullabies and fun songs with fun drawings.

My now two year old will frequently request it as our night time story book, so I she likes it too. It is worth hunting down.	positive
0	Terrible Phone	After many years with Nextel and using their previous Motorola models. I expected alot out of this phone. I was very dissapointed. The phone itself like most newer Motorolas these days is poorly designed and cheaply constructed. It just feels cheap and flimsy. The screen while a nice size is grainy and looks terrible. I had problems with it turning on and off by itself and it does not hold a charge very long. My phone also placed itself in Airplane mode at 3 A.M one morning(waking me up) and started doing some very strange things.Pros-NoneCons-Poor build quality-Blurry Screen-Terrible Reception	negative

1	Dolly Goes to the Supermarket	This book was great. I got it for my daughter (age 4) because it had won the iParenting Media Award so I figured it was a good product. It really was great. It taught my daughter about eating healthy, while not sounding too preachy. My daughter loved that she could transform her favorite doll into the doll in the story. That concept was magical to her. The next day, she got her doll dressed in the adorable outfit that came with the book and took her to the grocery store, and guess what... she didn't ask for anything bad to eat - in fact, she mimicked the story and told her doll that candy was bad because it had too much sugar! I highly recommend this product..P.S. My niece (age 7) came over and read the book and wants me to get her the book for Christmas.	positive
1	Paradise Kiss	This is one of my favorite manga I am reading (out of about twenty or thirty...)!!! Paradise Kiss is a wonderful manga about Yukari, a typical Japanese highschool student cramming for midterms. But when she is picked out of the blue to be a model for Paradise Kiss, a group of highschool fashion designers, her life changes forever. She realizes her life is drab and boring. Bit by bit, she is slowly sucked into the world of Paradise Kiss, and builds confidence and makes true friends.I truly love this series. It includes strong characters and an entrancing storyline. My pocketbook is already as thin as paper... but I still go out and buy the next volume of Paradise Kiss ! I strongly suggest you buy this!!! Definitely worth the 10 bucks!!	positive
1	Well done.	This book teaches social skills which although American, are quite applicable to other cultures (such as Canadian).For example:1. There is much to be said for making a good first impression, however people are generally forgiving and tend to takethe long view in their interactions. By this I mean that Mr. Giblin underestimates the patience Americans havewhen dealing with others.2. There is too much emphasis on technique, and not enough on the Judeo-Christian concept of intent. Most peoplecan stumble through a job interview even if they are not that slick; meaning their sincerity shines through.In conclusion, despite my tendency to focus on the negative (like any reviewer), I think this book is quitevaluable, and worth having on your bookshelf.	positive
1	Cool, they still make it!	The one we have is about ten years old and was a gift. It is the handiest toaster oven I've ever used. No, it's not THE most even toasting I've ever seen in an over, but you're getting what you pay for here -- it's small, efficient, versitle and dependable. We've used it on average twice a day every day for the last ten years with ZERO trouble. If the one we have ever bites the dust (and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down) then I'm hoping they still make these so I can get another!	positive

You have to unplug the unit to get it to work again. Very annoying.I did know about this from researching on the internet before purchasing it, but I bought it anyway.

Problems went away. Have used it for many months now no problem.	negative
1	Agatha Christie's Best Book since "Curtain"...	Who was the mysterious foreign woman who kept sneaking around? Why did she try to kidnap the young daughter of a tenant at the Sans Souci? Why was the Landlady acting so conspicuous? Why was everyone at the Sans Souci so mysterious? Was the old man who lived on the shore telling the truth about seeing signal lights across the water? Or was he lying?"N or M" is one of Agatha Christie's best books. This book is about a Couple trying to find one of Hitler's most dangerous agents , Code name "N" or "M", during the war before Germany mounts a surprise attack on England.

M ost features work

The product was easy to set up and was in operation in our small office in under an hour. However, the VPN functionality is unusable. I spent countless hours on the phone with LINKSYS tech support and was never able to set up a user based VPN session either using PPT or the QuickLink software that comes with the router. The buzz on the internet is that a windows machine that has at some point or another run any type of VPN software will never be able to connect. I don't know if that is true, but I returned one of these already and plan to return the other as soon as I replace it with a competing product. So, if you don't plan to use the VPN functionality this is a great box. If you do, buy something else.

You Must Buy this Book!

If you have any interest whatsoever in learning the true occult science as taught by the ancient mystery schools, then this is the definitive text. It's serious and erudite. It is not for the casual tarot card thrower. This is for the true mystic who wants to evolve as fully as possible in this lifetime. A rare and invaluable treasure!

review of Peltor tactical 6s

replacing the batteries was a real issue and I punctured the ear membrane twice. Have since bought the upgraded ones and so far they are better in function and ease of battery replacement. They are also more effective is cancelling noise and easier to initially adjust. The top is very hard and I had to add a cushion so that they were comfortable. They were light and did not affect my shooting the shotgun.

I think I'm in a time warp...

I am a baby boomer, turning (ugh) 50 this year but swear I don't feel it. I remember this album so, so very well from my 20's..."Children of the Sun" being my favorite. I went over to a guy's apartment and brought it with me and stupidly left it there. Now here I am with two kids in college, ordering Dino on amazon.com so I can play it for myself, and see if my daughters will feel his music the way I did. I love his voice and the guitars. I just ordered the CD and I am psyched to play it as loud as I want (Dad can't tell me to turn it down anymore) and either (a) get goosebumps or (b) say "What was I thinking?" Something tells me (a) will be my final answer.

"Makes James Bond look like a powder-puff"

My father turned me on to Matt Helm a few years back and I have now completed and read the entire set. Classic counter-spy stuff that in my opinion is better than the Ian Fleming stories. Yes, it's just as male-chauvinistic and ridiculous in it's 60's sex-infused culture, but a real pulp blast, that I cannot recommend enough!

Good to start but...

Received as anniversary present from my wife two years ago. Purchased to be installed under counter. Unit worked well until installed. The materials available via retailer stated could be installed under counter with no clearance required. However, the left side unit no longer cools (actually temp inside is higher than ambient temp in room) when under the counter (have 1 1/2 in on top and 1/2 inch on each side). Finally, the manual (which poor me, I believed the seller reps) states minimums are 3 in on top and 2 in on each side. With these specs (3 in on top) it cannot be built in underneath a standard height counter (33 1/2 + 3 > 34 in standard cabinet height). Now I have a very expensive wine cabinet not wine cooler.

Poor customer service. Misleading practices.

Count me in as another disgruntled customer who will never purchase a Sigg bottle. Mine was bought with the old BPA lining, which is scratched and peeling. The bottle also dented easily and was hard to clean. I've sent it back to Sigg under their replacement program but have yet to hear back from them (their website buries the replacement program). I found Sigg's CEO to be misleading, if not unethical.I've since moved on to Kleen Kanteen.

no bark collar

collar worked great. I have 2 dogs a shitzu and a wheaton terrer, yes i said terrer. I have a young son at home and my dogs will bark at every noise all day long. Well getting him to stay asleep during nap time sometimes is a challenge. These collars were the answer. Dogs barked maybe twice after putting them on and didn't make a sound after that, I just use them when I need them to be quiet so maybe 2 or 3 hours a day. but worked perfect for me..

For the guy that loves the outdoors and all the wonders that it provides, "Outside" is the magazine for him.

Got a Child Who's a Horse Lover?

My son (now 5) has always loved horses, so when he saw this movie for the first time he was absolutely entranced. He'd received a stick horse for his birthday when he turned 3, and soon after when he watched the movie he'd ride right along with Jim (he's got all the choreography down pat). He's pounded away miles and miles right in front of the TV, so much that we joke that we'll have to replace that part of the carpet before the rest of the floor. The best thing is that I don't have to worry about what he's seeing. No swearing, violence, or anything else you'd normally have to worry about. Definitely one I'm happy for him to have as a favorite movie. Besides, he definitely gets a lot of exercise!

Mediocre performance

My favorite of this CD is BWV 546 which I believe can reveal an organist's strenths and weaknesses. Frankly, Rubsam is not near the caliber of world class organists like Daniel Roth, Olivier Latry or Sophie-Marie Choplin. Ms Choplin has a rendition of BWV 546 on YouTube that is superb, not only in the rendition of that work but the registry she selected on that great organ at St Sulpice. Rubsam, by comparison plods through this great work with an uninspired registry that fails to bring out the greatness of this work of Bach's.

Andy Breckman's latest is a huge disappointment.

Anyone wanting more of the humor and creativity of Breckman's first two albums will be disappointed in Death Defying Radio Stunts. Rather than the witty folksongs we've come to love, Breckman pawns off a public radio telethon format, the low point of which occurs when listeners call in and sing 100 bottles of beer on the wall. Breckman and co-host Freeman seem amused but the skit is as tiresome as the real song. The comedy bits go down hill from there.

Poorly constructed and hard to fathom scifi/ I am not sure what?

As far as I could follow this book is about a guy who lives in a so-called paradise controlled by a giant machine. He has some unique brainwaves or something and the machine gets kind of obsessed with him. Machine love? Not well written at all. It has a plot that is tough to follow. Characters that enter and then are graphically killed shortly after weird pseudo sexual encounters. The main charcter goes into the underground and meets mutants who are all naked. The women in the book all seem to be stupid and unrealistic and written as bland sexually driven bimbos. It men are not much better written. The frequent jumping between visions, computer brain interuptions, hallucinations, and other cosmic images make for difficult reading. I gave up about half way through the book as the story line just got lost and it all seemed very meaningless.

Great Solid Album

I happened on Everett Greene via the Marvin Chandler/Jack Gilfoy Christmas album called "When a Child Is Born," which gets my vote for one of THE great Chrstmas albums: soul, jazz, and a true devotionality. These guys (Chandler is the pianist on the "Iv'e Got Love" album too) are completely for real--the best in jazz, nothing gimicky or overplayed, just right there in the center of the heart and soul. These are the real musicians that seem to be there in plenty around the world yet rarely get the praise they deserve in our hyped-up system of recognition. I'm so glad an album like this got recorded. On this album "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" will send chills down your spine, and that's not the only one either, but when I sampled that online I knew I had to download this album!

take your chances

This is an upgrade to my Tivo series 2 DVR (which I LOVED). Just got it and seems to be okay but it is extremely noisy!!! I can hear it buzzing over my TV 10 feet away! The Tivo site says that noise is normal and depending on the machine it can be very loud. I checked Tivo community sites and others have had the same problem. If I have to send this back to the manufacturer over an issue that Tivo considers "normal" I'll give this zero stars. Way too much money ($600) for that cheesy, noisy fan!!

I bought Mace because, well, I think he's really cool. Butfrom the aotc toys that I own, he is by far the worst.Mace is positioned in a stiff pose that is cool, but you can'treally have any fun playing with him. His eyes are closed and hismouth is wide open and I find this very hard to play with.(unless it is a death scene or when he gets really mad)He does come with an amazing lightsaber that has a magneticattration to his hand to re-anact force power. I find that hislightsaber falls out of his hand without much presure and thismakes for for some pretty frustrating battles....Overall I would not recommend this toy, unless your obsessedwith the Geonosis Rescue, and love to re-anact it.Far Too Shabby!

Steeler-American Metal The Steeler Anthology

Ok, this CD is a great archive of material of one of the most popular bands of the early 80's metal club circuit. It does fall short in a couple of areas though. The original single version of "Cold Day in Hell" is great, but it would have been better to have some of the songs from the original Steeler CD on this compliation just for the sound quality. What you get here are demo versions and live versions of the songs from the original release in sub par quality. The live versions are barely passable. You would need to be a serious Keel/Steeler/Yngwie Malmsteen to buy this CD.

HP LCD Monitor w2007

Please do not buy this monitor, if you want to use this monitor for more than one year because it will die after one year and the factory warranty lasts only a year. There are many monitors that come with 3 year warranty in the market, you are better off buying one of those monitors. My monitor doesn't get any power so I have to buy a new one as it is cheaper to buy one than fixing the existing one. The CRT I had worked well till I got rid of it for this one, I shouldn't have done that. Good luck to those who are still willing to buy this product.

I think Wolf Rider was great because it created excitment in the first few pages of the book.The setting is mostly in the apartment and on the college campus and in Andy's school.The main characters are mostly Andy, Nina, Jeoy's Dad, and Dr. Lucus.Some interesting plot lines is when Andy is trying to get out of Dr. Lucus' car ,and some others are when Dr. Lucus calls and says he just killed somebody.

Works great, then breaks

I bought these earphones because the ones that I got with my iPod didn't work very well. When i received them they worked great and they were a lot better then the earphones that came with the iPod. Then about after a month or so left earphone just stopped working and you have to jiggle it around a bit to hear anything out of it. There was no damage done to it and it shows no physical damage. My theory is that the wire inside the insulation broke and when they connect you hear a little bit of whats playing. I am very disappointed and they should have lasted a lot longer.

reasonable fluorescent bulbs

They take a second or two to turn on, but once on give off a nice warm light. I have had no problems with flickering after about a month of use. I also purchased the 'cool white' variety (which are harsh and much bluer), and highly recommend the 'soft white' over those. If fitting them in a fixture keep in mind that these bulbs are slightly bigger and squarer than normal incandescents (however the 60-Watt version is much much tinier).

Not The Results You Want

Our dog hated the citronella smell... so it's a very effective correction tool. However, once this device goes off, the entire unit smells like, and is covered in, the citronella. This causes 2 issues... 1, the dog never stops smelling citronella therefore is always being corrected even when not barking and 2, it desensitizes the dog to the corrective smell therefore making it eventually ineffective in correction. Our dog hated the smell so bad, she would go into full on panic attacks smelling it, with or without the device having sprayed her... that's great if they only smell it during the bark... but the smell is EVERYWHERE. WIth the sensitivity of the dogs sense of smell, you might as well shove their nose 24/7 in a citronella candle. If they can ever figure out how to correct this issue, it will be effective.

Dog shampoo review

My dog has really itchy skin. I bought this product and found that it seemed to help cut down on the itchiness. I would recommend this product--the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't take care of the itching completely. However, there is a noticeable difference!

Good movie, bad music.

The movie is good, has nice action scenes, the terrorists are bad but not as bad as the real ones (well this is a pre 9/11 movie) so I could give this movie 3 stars; however, the music is horrendous, it sound as a Saturday morning GI Joe cartoon. It makes you not to care for the characters because it reminds you that it's just all fictional and that the good guys are going to end up killing the bad guys and there is not tension in it. If this type of music wouldn't be in the movie, or even if there would be no music at all, it would be better. The director should have put this music only at the end credits, that's it. So because of this music, and being generous, I give this movie two stars.Alan Sylvestri is a good composer but I think, this is one of his worst jobs.

it broke on the first day...

When I first opened the package, I thought it was a little flimsy. I thought the zippers would be nice so I could tighten as I progress. When I tried it on, it was so large, that I had to put it on the smallest adjustment possible.Now, I'm not a small guy. I'm 6'1" 220 lbs. with a little belly.The next day, I put it on and wore it to work. It felt great. I could feel the heat from the belt around my belly. After a couple hours, though, it started feeling loose again. I took it off and saw that it had split at the seams.As I said previously, the material was really flimsy. The neoprene is SO thin, there's really no support.

Why bother?

I feel that this is a rip-off. It has 1/3 of the coffee of the drinkable brands, and lacks taste and character, such as is possible with other decafs. It makes me want to return an otherwise good coffee maker. If I were Tassimo I would not license this product unless they gave it a full-size portion of coffee. I agree with other reviewers that this is like drinking diluted coffee. I wish Starbucks or another maker would weigh in on decafs for Tassimo.

Probably the Only one

I am probably the only one who doesn't like Spider-Man. I did not like this movie for two reasons, the first reason was the special effects were really bad and most of the time you could see how fake it looked on the movie screen and imagine how it will look on television, the second reason was The Green Goblin he was not convincing as a villian and he wasn't even scary. It even took a little from Batman(1989) in the parade scene when Macy Gray sings and in Batman Prince sings. I'm sorry to people who love this movie but I just don't like this movie at all.

After many, many comments on my last review which had to be deleted because of the inane, rude and downright filthy comments made by people who can't tolerate opposing views, I have seen 6 of the episodes, suffering through all just in case somebody told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I still think that it is an overblown and waffling series. How anybody can say that this story is a masterpiece is beyond me. So to all GOT addicts who disagree with me have at it with the comments, it will not change what I think is a nasty, seedy and altogether ordinary series.

They Can't Be Saved.

A spaceship crashes on a planet similar to Earth, but with one major exception: it's filled with man-eating beasts. The rest of the movie's plot follows the crew as they attempt to adjust to their new life.That's it. Pretty lame plot, huh. Well, the dialogue is worse that the plot, the acting worse than the dialogue, and the music worse than the acting. The cinematography is horrible as is the lighting.The only upscale about the film are the stop-action dinosaurs which are well done. Normally, something like that would improve the quality of the film somewhat. Not here, though. Everything is so bad, that not even the dinosaurs can save this film from utter disaster.

Not what I expected

I ordered this set for $69 now it's priced at $49. Not good. The stainless is the cheap stamped out stuff, very light weight. I had purchased a similar Oneida pattern several years ago for my parents and it was beautiful. This is not the same quality. You can't tell from the picture which set is which. I'm very disappointed.

Great movie, Bad DVD

I was thrilled to get this movie on DVD. I was disappointed, however, that the DVD was in mono. I contacted Full Moon and they explained that the stereo master, which they had, was damaged, and they had to use the mono master. They said going back to the elements to recreate a new stereo soundtrack would not be profitable since it's a niche movie to begin with. I guess I understand, but the sword fight in stereo was fun!

This is a preemprtive "shh". THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!

The lines are the best. Although the average person may think this movie to be somewhat silly, it is those of who enjoy a good spoof that will take it for what it is meant to be, FUNNY!! Mike Myers is great in this and So I Married an Ax Murderer. I highly recommend both.

Looks great on the counter but.....

I bought this toaster because of it's looks. I wanted something I could leave out that would look ok. I had it for about 5 months before it broke. The toast will no longer pop up. You have to unplug it to get the toast up. I would not buy this toaster again no matter how great it looks on my counter.

Amazing

I bought the CD Atlantic Shore by the Three Irish Tenors and have not stopped palying it!! It's just wonderful! I play it all the time in my car, the music is so lovely it takes all the stress out of driving! I have just come to Ireland on Holidays and saw the Three Irish Tenors in The National Concert Hall in Dublin - the most amazing concert I've ever seen - and they donated all the proceeds to the Special Olympics Ireland - I think that these guys are something special themselves. Buy the cd, it will truly raise your spirits!

A rap artist stealing other people's sounds , how typical !

Usher ,in his Confessions album used keyboard riffs which were taken from my songs , without my permission and without paying for it.In his song called "Yeah" , synthesizer riffs were taken from my song "Girl from Istanbul" , which I had composed and posted on my website , before christmast 2003 , way before Usher's album was released.Rap artists(and producers) like him are stealing other people's songs and sounds just to sell albums and make money , but the general public is considering them great artists , which is a shame really!To have your unbiased opinion about this subject , please visit my website Anatolia.iuma.com and give a listen to my song " Girl from Istanbul ".

Rolling Stones Singles Collection

This collection of Rolling Stones numbers is far more detailed than I will probably ever be able to use (unfortunately!), but the few songs I have picked up on were all in the correct key to play along with original tracks. So, it would appear to me to be an accurate rendition and a very good reference. I am certainly not sorry I bought it, but I will be looking for a simpler songbook to compliment the material presented. A couple of my all-time favourites are missing (e.g. "Cry to Me" and "Under the Boardwalk"). Maybe the Rolling Stones Fakebook is the answer?

Challenging, turn-based strategy

If you like turn-based strategy games, this is the best there is. There are endless possibilities in this game. It also seems to be historically accurate. If you like real-time strategy, you will be dissappointed. It's all about having the right expectations with this game.

Not worth the money

I purchased this in hope I could get some Crystal skills and develop some reports from my accounting system. Instead I got a home-made training manual that goes to a training course I will never attend and that is useless to me.The manual itself rambles on and on and does not even cover the information I found myself just using Crystal and looking in the help file.

will leave you in tears and envy

i have read dozens of romance books, this one by far depicts the love between a man and woman more beautifully, pure, sweet, and simply wonderful than any other. THe way she ( the author) describes the herione and hero's feeling for each other is just wonderful. It makes you yearn for the ove this two share, and you fall in love with the characters, the setting, everything. Buy this book.

Hefty Kitchen Utensil

This is why I always will purchase OXO kitchen products. They are hefty and well made. I have several OXO kitchen products in the home. Just feels good in you hand. Easy to control while peeling. Others do not give you the control due to small handles that slip when wet. You can really apply pressure when needed without the worry of the peeler slipping out of your hand. First day I got this, I used to peel potatoes for a meal I was having that evening. I have all the OXO kitchen utensils in the same drawer. This way I don't have to look for the right tool for the job. Just like all the OXO products. Some I have had for years and never have had any issues with them.

Buyer Beware!

"Disappointment" doesn't do justice to this long-anticipated release. What it really is is an insult. Parts 2 and 3 are incorrectly framed, the French language track is out of synch, and there are subtitle occlusion problems with a number of players. It doesn't take long to fix these problems, yet Universal is making buyers wait until LATE FEBRUARY, three months after the release, to offer replacements, which you will have to ship to Universal at your own expense. DO NOT BUY this or any Universal DVD.

Underneath all the blood and gore, a good book lies....

The moment I first picked up this book, I could not put it down. Yet I must admit all of the blood and gore is a quick turn off, you learn to look past it all to what really lies in this book. The plot is a real gripper. Not telling you much of nothing about what it is that is killing all of these people, dogs, and anything else that moves. But slowly but surely giving it away. I can't say that this is not a good book because in the end it all comes to another great king novel. But this one is for die hard King fans only.

Great Idea, Terrible Construction

I received this as a gift from work and was very much hoping that it would be useful for various jobs around the house. Putting it together wasn't too bad, a little bit of a struggle. Used it for a month, then threw it out. My opinion is that it is a very poorly made, dangerous piece of garbage. We considered giving it away rather than throwing it out, but we didn't want to be responsible for someone possibly hurting themselves while trying to use it.

Missing In Action The Beginning.

I just recently viewed this movie again. I enjoy it more each time. I like action movies and expect to be entertained. The action of this movie and the theme of good over evil adds to the enjoyment of this movie. Some people are not only offended by the portrayal of how the Viet Cong treated our soldiers, but refuse to believe such war attrocities occurred.. Some pretty awful tortures were performed in this movie involving fire, rats and even Viet Cong whores being used to torture and humiliate the POWs. This is not for the squeamish who know nothing about war. But if you like action movies, this one is great.

An involving survey and history charts the ongoing `war'

Gilles Kepel is a professor of Middle East Studies at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris, and is the perfect author for WAR FOR MUSLIM MINDS: ISLAM AND THE WEST: his background succeeds in synthesizing the wealth of detail charting the breakdown of Middle East/Western relations. Chapters provide both a history and analysis of the breakdown of communications between East and West, pinpointing changing policies and party lines on both sides and analyzing the effects of terrorism on the peace process. An involving survey and history charts the ongoing `war'.

The product is most likly good. But It when I try to install it to my computer, the class install manager denied my request to install it. This was very frustrating beacaues I have to return it. The Micro Innovations customer service was terrible, the people would lie over the phone just to get rid of you. The man said he would e-mail me the drivers I needed to install it to my computer with windows XP. But never sent them. Non of this is Amazons fault but I wish that they show weather its compatible with windows XP.

Still Confused

There has to something in Japanese movies that I don't get. Thinking of The Ring and The Grudge of two movies that I don't understand at all.When I read about the movie, it sounded promising: young American woman residing in Japan with her boyfriend. She is temporarily assigned to be a caretaker for a woman with severe sleeping conditions. The house is plagued by the presence of murderous ghosts, the result of a curse. The curse is born from someone dying in a powerful rage. Seemed interesting enough but I was wrong. It's almost as if there should have been a prequel to this movie. I don't even know if I'd recommend it or not... I'm still confused.

Her Best

Of all her albums (including Fox Confessor...), this is the best. First, it's staggering that her voice can be as amazing live as it is on the studio albums; really, it's something special. Second, her 'magnetism' comes out much more in the live recording than it does in the studio albums. When I listen to the studio albums I feel like something is missing; what is on this album is exactly what's missing. It's like the difference between a Grateful Dead live album versus a Grateful Dead studio album (well, maybe not that severe, but you get the point.)I'd recommend buying this album before any of the others. Standout tracks include 'Train From Kansas City', 'Soulful Shade of Blue', 'If You Knew', and 'Rated X'.

Terrible Phone

After many years with Nextel and using their previous Motorola models. I expected alot out of this phone. I was very dissapointed. The phone itself like most newer Motorolas these days is poorly designed and cheaply constructed. It just feels cheap and flimsy. The screen while a nice size is grainy and looks terrible. I had problems with it turning on and off by itself and it does not hold a charge very long. My phone also placed itself in Airplane mode at 3 A.M one morning(waking me up) and started doing some very strange things.Pros-NoneCons-Poor build quality-Blurry Screen-Terrible Reception

Had no effect on me

This product was recommended to me by a friend who said it was "God-inspired." I found that it has no effect on me. I am currently under a lot of stress, but the Rescue Remedy hasn't helped at all. Now, it works wonderfully for my friend, so I think it just depends on how individual bodies respond to it. For me it didn't work, but for someone else, it might. I guess you just have to try it out and see.

Another Clinton stooge publishes a book

Mr Halley is simply a stooge for the Clintons; he is their response to Drudge they hate so much for having first revealed the Lewinsky story; needless to say, Drudge is as a disgusting a character as anyone trying to balance out his role in the media at the behest of the Clintons who know no limits so far as manipulating public response to their doings is concerned;nice try, Mr Halley--put on a cap instead of Drudge's stupid hat and make a few bucks along the way...There is always a possibility that your stalwart support of Senator Clinton (D-New York)will yield a second-tier position in the future Clinton II administration.

Needless to say, we will not be purchasing another Sony product in the future.

Dolly Goes to the Supermarket

This book was great. I got it for my daughter (age 4) because it had won the iParenting Media Award so I figured it was a good product. It really was great. It taught my daughter about eating healthy, while not sounding too preachy. My daughter loved that she could transform her favorite doll into the doll in the story. That concept was magical to her. The next day, she got her doll dressed in the adorable outfit that came with the book and took her to the grocery store, and guess what... she didn't ask for anything bad to eat - in fact, she mimicked the story and told her doll that candy was bad because it had too much sugar! I highly recommend this product..P.S. My niece (age 7) came over and read the book and wants me to get her the book for Christmas.

Paradise Kiss

This is one of my favorite manga I am reading (out of about twenty or thirty...)!!! Paradise Kiss is a wonderful manga about Yukari, a typical Japanese highschool student cramming for midterms. But when she is picked out of the blue to be a model for Paradise Kiss, a group of highschool fashion designers, her life changes forever. She realizes her life is drab and boring. Bit by bit, she is slowly sucked into the world of Paradise Kiss, and builds confidence and makes true friends.I truly love this series. It includes strong characters and an entrancing storyline. My pocketbook is already as thin as paper... but I still go out and buy the next volume of Paradise Kiss ! I strongly suggest you buy this!!! Definitely worth the 10 bucks!!

Well done.

This book teaches social skills which although American, are quite applicable to other cultures (such as Canadian).For example:1. There is much to be said for making a good first impression, however people are generally forgiving and tend to takethe long view in their interactions. By this I mean that Mr. Giblin underestimates the patience Americans havewhen dealing with others.2. There is too much emphasis on technique, and not enough on the Judeo-Christian concept of intent. Most peoplecan stumble through a job interview even if they are not that slick; meaning their sincerity shines through.In conclusion, despite my tendency to focus on the negative (like any reviewer), I think this book is quitevaluable, and worth having on your bookshelf.

Cool, they still make it!

The one we have is about ten years old and was a gift. It is the handiest toaster oven I've ever used. No, it's not THE most even toasting I've ever seen in an over, but you're getting what you pay for here -- it's small, efficient, versitle and dependable. We've used it on average twice a day every day for the last ten years with ZERO trouble. If the one we have ever bites the dust (and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down) then I'm hoping they still make these so I can get another!

Norton Antivirus 2004 should never have been released. You may not be able to activate the license...and once activated it may not stay activated (and Symantec can't fix it). It also significantly slows your web browsing and email, and may make your new system seem like the one you had 5 years ago. And don't even think about doing something else while scanning your disks...it's a CPU-hog.I've used past versions and they worked great (especially the enterprise version of Antivirus)...skip this one.

Misleading and disappointing

This is basically a 30 minute commerical for the Place and Plug strips. It shows how to create one temporary and one permanent base out of styrofoam... and that is it. There are no techniques or display suggestions given at all. The focus of the video is about "how great the Place and Plug strips are to use," and "how the cords are more easily hidden when you use the Place and Plug strips."I guess I just paid a lot of money to watch a commercial.

Good router.

I got it working fast enough. It is a nice router in all ways but one. It is not reliable.A couple of times a week it seems to cease access to the internet. That is, you cannot access the internet at all. All lights blink, and you can still access other computers on wired and wireless LAN. Just no internet. You have to unplug the unit to get it to work again. Very annoying.I did know about this from researching on the internet before purchasing it, but I bought it anyway. My mistake.I have returned it and have a cheaper, nicer Belkin.************ Update on review.Other brands were not so hot. I got another Linksys and updated it with latest firmware. Problems went away. Have used it for many months now no problem.

Agatha Christie's Best Book since "Curtain"...

Who was the mysterious foreign woman who kept sneaking around? Why did she try to kidnap the young daughter of a tenant at the Sans Souci? Why was the Landlady acting so conspicuous? Why was everyone at the Sans Souci so mysterious? Was the old man who lived on the shore telling the truth about seeing signal lights across the water? Or was he lying?"N or M" is one of Agatha Christie's best books. This book is about a Couple trying to find one of Hitler's most dangerous agents , Code name "N" or "M", during the war before Germany mounts a surprise attack on England. The book gets more intense when the daughter of this couple is blown, and their true identity gets revealed to code name "N or M"

Whatever it is they call "country music" today simply does not measure up to this.
