0	The Dive from Claussen's Pier	I could not get through this book, for me it was torture to finally finish it. I would not recommend it, too boring and the story drags on and on.So glad to have finished it and cannot believe that Good Morning America choose this book for their bookclub. Needless to say I will not ever take another book recommendation from them and their bookclub.	negative
0	time to stop...	Anyone else getting slightly sick of the crappy Now collections. With 15, they have achieved something incredible, in being able tomake a mix with a total of three or fours decent songs. Five for fighting's "100 years", Norah Jones' "sunrise", and the now overplayed "Falls on me" by fuel. Everything else sucks. This compilation is full of more crap then you can pack into an hour. If you would like to waste some of your life listening to some of the worst music created since the beginning of time, then this CD should do nicely. It's not the worst now CD, but every time you here it you'll think it has to be. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.	negative
0	This Book Is Sick	I loved The Persian Pickle Club, so I picked up The Chili Queen from the library. It started with a character who was the madam of a whorehouse, so, considering the warmth of The Persian Pickle Club, I figured it was a story of redemption. Wrong! There are no likeable characters. They are, to a person, all amoral people committing immoral and illegal acts. I kept waiting for one of them to change, but no, they were evil right to the end. Although Dallas writes well, and her description of people generated a few laughs, and the plot twists were a bit of a surprise (although I guessed one), at the end of the book I felt sick and very sorry I had read it. Oh, and she throws in the detailed rape and murder of a seven-year-old girl. I need a shower.	negative
0	got it broken	first time ordering lights for my car and i got it broken im sending it back hoping to get a working one it has a magnet attched to it but it falls off the dash board not really worth it but whatver	negative
1	Vein reliever	I have added this tablet to my vitamin and supplements I take.Tthis is the second lot I have received with no trouble at all ...so easy. I believe my legs are aching less and hope it is helping my veins.	positive
1	don't forget her off-screen evil!	The drowning scene is a gem, as is the fall; however, for pure evil, you cannot omit her final act to keep hubby to herself--committed selfishly yet diabolically and twistedly from beyond . . .I LOVE Gene Tierney in this film because she was usually such a sweetheart (ie Mrs Muir) and this gives her a chance to show off a whole other character.Go, Gene!	positive
1	Setting the stage for the original three episodes	A very enjoyable show.... it really gives the background for the episodes which follow. You can see the foundation for Princess Leia and Luke, the history of the Jedis and how they work, why Darth moved to the darkside, who the Emperor was, how R2-D2 and his buddy came to Luke's family... just so much. The film really does a good job of introducing all the episodes that follow. The only thing I was a bit turned off by was what I thought was an excessive use of special effects... I almost had the feeling at times that I was watching a cartoon. Even so, I'd recommend that if you liked the first three episodes, you should see this one.	positive
0	NOT so much of a racing jack!	First off, it's heavy. Second, it takes approx. 26 pumps to fully extend. Third, the handle pulled apart with minimal effort. You couldn't even pull the jack with it. And fourth, when I unboxed it, I worked the jack up and down to test operation, (which was good, but slow), let it sit in my shop for a day before actually using it, and the thing puked fluid all over my floor. I spent a few exta dollars on an Arcan unit, and love it.	negative
0	Big stinker!!	its a on OK game but controls can me better and gaphics are a little wierd but it is a real bummer....my advice is unless your a really big fan of DBZ don't get it	negative
1	I'll NEVER buy another Creative Card	Wow! I love this card.Easy to install. Setup on XP was no problem at all.Deep, rich sound (Naked Music has never sounded so good). Played Counter-Strike, footsteps were crisp and clear.I recently purchased a Creative Audigy card; after install somewhat random system crashes plauged my heretofore fine system. I call the crashes somewhat random because they occurred randomly while playing counter-strike and always when I tried to play sound from two different programs.Driver updates didn't help at all.The first thing I did before writing this review was to check those old problems.All gone, simply with a Turtle Beach install.Problem solved and with better sound! Can't beat it. Great card, great price. I love it.	positive
0	no screw it!	I haven't still receive my danger danger album, and I'm tired of waiting!. I bought it 1 mounth ago and my ears are hungry for rock!	negative
0	Clock	I had to have it replaced under warranty within 6 months and then soon after warranty expired so did the clock. I DO NOT recommend this clock or the company. They were very rude and hard to deal with	negative
0	It's PLASTIC!!!	The fan is fine, but from all the pictures, the text, and the price, you would think it was made of formed plywood (think Eames). But NO. The fan blades are molded plastic painted to look like wood. They did a nice job with the painting, but it's still plastic.On opening the box, I felt I'd been tricked.	negative
0	Is this what "rock" has come to?	"Rap-metal". Isn't that an oxymoron? Of course it is, yet many of the so-called rock bands around today fit that description. Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Kid Rock, being the most obvious offendors. Trash like this album simply do not belong in the rock section at music stores, it is an insult to good music. The only reasons kids are buying this album like hotcakes is because a)the antichrist known as eMpTVy told them to b)because it has "cuss words" in it, that makes them feel like they are rebelling (listen to real heavy metal with language instead, Pantera, for example), and c)because it's played endlessly on the radio. Bawitdaba, what the hell is that? Lyrics in music used to mean something. Kids should stop listening to trash like this and read some lyrics by real rock poets such as Roger Waters and Neil Peart, and while they're at it, they should chance a listen at some of the few good bands left today such as Dream Theater and Gov't Mule.	negative
0	Exploits Fear of the End of Days	This is my 1st book review. I felt compelled to warn people that this book is, in my opinion, very dark and promotes fear of... well, almost everything... even what types of cloths we should wear. If this books future predictions come true I hope God takes me now because existence and survival will be unbearable. I had to throw the book out at about half way thru just because I don't feel Jesus wants us to be in fear of what is to come. I know bad things can happen but this got ridiculous... 3 plagues, nuclear war, famine, killer asteriods, earth quakes, volcanic eruptions; and that's not everything she predicts will happen. I just don't believe it. I've read many NDE books and all of them were better than this. If you want to fear - read it. But, I personally don't recommend this book!	negative
0	Blah	Not recommended. Very disapointing. Wished she had ALONE on the CD instead of Independence day.	negative
1	Outstanding!	Could not be happier with this purchase. All the songs I wanted to hear again by this amazing group. Good quality CD. Thank you very much.	positive
1	an effective reaction	This book is written in reaction to the tendency of neo-scholastic thinkers to neglect the role of the figure of Christ in the thought of Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, and other Dominican thinkers. To redress this imbalance, Emery and Wawrykow have done an excellent job of compiling essays to address the long-neglected depictions of Christ in the writings and art of the medieval Dominicans through a multidisciplinary approach.	positive
1	it helps the circulatory system & cardiovascular system	My Dr. was going to put me on blood pressure medications and with the use of hawthorn I've limited that from my medical problems. I've used nature's way for several years before buying Swanson's hawthorn and I was taking 12 a day to keep my blood pressure down as recommend by Nature's way. This product doesn't seem that much higher in strength then Nature's way and it recommends that you use less. After trying Swanson's hawthorn. I find that I can take three of theses a day for the same and better results. Hawthorn is also good for the circulatory system as well as cardiovascular system. My boyfriend takes it for the circulatory and the numbness he had in his hand and since taking hawthorn the numbness has gone away. I'm really surprised this product is so much better and I'm happy with the results as well.	positive
0	The Diaper CHUMP!!!	Worst diaper pale ever!! I've had mine for 2 years now and I am throwing it away as soon as my second Decor arrives. No matter how many times I clean the "Chump" it still stinks. The diapers and wipes get caught in the drop hole and stuck wet wipes make it stink even worse. Forget scented trash bags, they won't cure the smell of the "Chump". Also, watch out when changing the bag, you may lose a finger if the lid unexpectedly slams shut on you when changing it. Forget this pale and go for the Decor.	negative
1	Fantastic	A movie that makes you feel a lot better about the holidays. Although not a childish movie, Eight Crazy Nights is a fantastic Sandler movie.	positive
0	Average Cheap Best of Complimation	First off let me say that Jefferson Airplane is a great band but this CD isn't so great. First off it starts off with the mono version of Somebody To Love I think and than goes into White Rabbit. Than the other songs on the album havent really heard too much... But its another chintsy greatest hits CD but for 7 bucks its a good deal and i suggest you buy it if you want a cd by jefferson airplane but just want there two best songs but even than go with the worst of jefferson airplane.2.5/5 stars	negative
0	This booked saved my neck!	I am a new Children's Director and on my first Sunday I found myself in the elememntry school Sunday School classroom (it's k- 5th grade together) that did not have a teacher. I was able to pull this book out and give the children up bet and fun activities that stress Biblical principles, as well as reached each child on their own cognative level. I am a college student majoring in Children's Ministry and am highly impressed at how well this books teaching methods cover everything that I am learning. (ex. uses the different learning styles, has a "Hook", "Book", "Look", and "Took".) I highly recommend this book for a group that is small and has a variety of ages.	negative
1	Very helpful	For the beginner, this was very helpful, although I got a little more out of How to Build Your First Lionel Layout by Stanley W. Trzoniec. Good articles (apparently taken from magazines) gave hard information, good pictures, help with difficult parts like mountains, and more. I will use this book often.	positive
0	Too much static!	This monitor came highly recommnded in one of those books that reviews/recommends products for expectant parents so I thought it was a good buy but boy has it failed. We have been very disappointed! The static is horrible and leaves you fumbling to position it to find the least static possible. The range is short as well -for some reason I can go in the back yard and have some static reception but the front yard gets no reception at all (they are equidistant from the nursery). We have had it for a year and now it is static all of the time so I am ditching this waste of money and getting a different brand! Save your money!	negative
0	Great movie lousy dvd	I was unable to watch this DVD until a few weeks after receiving it. I had seen the movie earlier this year and had wanted to share it with a friend. No more than 15 minutes into it when the DVD started skipping and pausing on it's own. Unfortunately I no longer had the return information.	negative
0	Yikes!	I was really excited when I started to read the book, but then my hopes plumetted. There were several mistakes too. It's impossible for Wickham and Lydia to have four children unless they were twins and Jane can't possibly have a daugter as well as another one on the way. These are simple editorial mistakes..... And the Bingley's illigitiment child totally messes up everything. That's so not Bingley.... Nothing in this book really matches up with what Jane Austen says happens..... as Lady Catherine said,"I am most seriosly displeased."	negative
1	Excellent Advice!	I read this book prior to the birth of my daughter, and refer back to it as needed. The author takes a common-sense approach to helping your child (and the parents!) sleep through the night. Naturally, the earlier you start helping your child sleep, the better - a 2 month old child will take to it better than a 2 year old. Even still, information is included for all age children.Anyone looking for an easy answer to get their child to sleep on their own, through the night, and without any protest is living in a fantasy world! Instead, the book details what levels of protest the parent should expect and be prepared for and at what ages.	positive
1	More Grooving Can Music	The absolute pinnacle of Can's musical ouvre is Future Days, so I can't honestly say that Can is the best Can record, but its way better than Allmusic's 1 1/2 star review would indicate. This album continues to explore the locked in groove that Can is famous for and is a pleasure to relax and listen to. EFS 99 Can Can is a funny idea, but it is irritating to listen to. I was a little wary of buying this album, but after reading the previous review and listening to the sound samples I clicked the add to cart button and I'm glad that I did.	positive
0	Songs great..quality not so much.	I absolutely love the compilation; however, I had to put the volume up to 28 on my JBL system in my car, just to hear the lyrics. The digital quality is terrible.	negative
0	Really?!?	You CAN judge a book by it's cover. A book about being an Air Force pilot with a photo of an F-14? (won't even mention the negative was placed backwards for the printing)...	negative
0	homedics sound machine	I have looked all over for an alarm, cd with time projection and was thrilled when I found this, however, the projection bulb, I assume, does not display the first number (12:00 looks like 2:00) and have emailed HoMedics customer service but have not received a response after over two weeks. Very disappointed as I do not relish the thought of trying to send it back, etc.	negative
0	Where did they dig this movie up?	I've been a big Tomb Raider fan for years. Sorry folks, but lets be honest. This movie was one of the worst action flicks ever. Special effects were fair to good. Sound was fair at best. The story line would have made a good game level, but it didn't make it in the movie. The acting was fair. The DVD has a few special features, interviews, and commentaries. If you're still curious rent it first. Save your dollars.	negative
0	Greatest Gift of All	With "Built to Last," the Grateful Dead give their fans the ultimate gift. . . . an album so mediocre that even the most enthusiastic fan would be thankful that there would be no more to come. This is the Dead's final trip to the studio. Had they called it a day after "In the Dark," many may have been left wondering what would have followed. Now that the Dead had a certified hit record, how would they follow it up? Rather than leave fans imagining great albums of the future (not that "In the Dark" was any masterpiece, in my opinion), they deliver "Built to Last," demonstrating that the long, strange trip was over indeed.	negative
0	Very Disappointing	This DVD was a big letdown. I already knew it was short at 28 minutes when I ordered it, but the first 5 minutes are wasted with credits and some bad music. This is a CGI feature and the animation is stiff and low quality. Much of it is simply a series of still images. The narration is given by the aged character Solomon and it is tedious to listen to because he sounds like he is weak and about to die at any second. Worst of all the DVD says practically nothing about the construction of the temple, the purpose of its articles or the related rituals and practices. So you don't really learn much about the temple from it. I was hoping to use this DVD as a "history channel" style learning aid for our church as we studied the construction of the temple but it is not suitable for that purpose. In fact I would be embarrassed to show this to anyone. Don't waste your money.	negative
1	The easiest grater	This grater has the best design available. You squeeze the body of it while turning the knob on top (sort of like a peppermill with a turning handle). Makes light fluffy grated cheese easy, easy, easy.	positive
0	amazon won't ever send it to you	ordered this item on july 27th. It is now October 24th and amazon just pushed back the estimated shipping date again to November 27th.Don't order this an expect to get it from amazon the same month you ordered it.	negative
1	Something that actually works great.	I had read other good reviews and will add mine to it. It might be a bit big, but that wasn't an issue for where I ran the cable. No hum, sounds just like I had CD's plugged into the stereo from the player. I am very happy with this cable.	positive
0	Horrible!	I was a subscriber to Newsweek from 1994-2009. I relied on the magazine for my comprehensive look at the news. I loved Newsweek and would spend hours pouring over it. Even I, as a bleeding heart liberal, thought it took a massive turn for the worst in 2009 and went for an overly liberal slant. I finally jumped shipped when Fareed Zakaria left. Please bring back the old Newsweek!	negative
1	Excellent	This book is very detailed. Although I've done some stamping, etc; I've just started getting involved with cards and this is a very good book for beginners and there is a listing in the back where products can be purchased. One of the things I've found most frustrating is trying to find the materials for the cards, etc.	positive
1	A Bewitched: Halloween	The Witches Are Out ____________________When Darrin is asked to design a trademark for his company's client with a witch on it to sell candy, Samantha, Aunt Clara and her bewitching friends try to get him to use a beautiful witch instead of and ugle witch with warts on it. His client turn's the concept do untill Samantha gives the candy executive a new perspective of life on the other side of the broom. _____________________Trick or TreatWhen Darrin insists that Samantha insists that Samantha forgo a Halloween witches celebration in favor of intertaining Darrins clints for dinner, Endora sees red. She hexes Darrin with a spell that will gladually turn him into a werewolf, setting the stage for a howling good time as darrin and Samantha try to hide his new beastly personality from their guest.	positive
1	Loved this!	I don't know how I never heard of this movie. It is fantastic. It keep me on the edge of my seat. The acting is really good (imho). Dakota Fanning shines. Theron rocks her part and who knew Courtney Love can actually act. Stuart Townsend make a good doctor and Kevin Bacon, Well it's kevin bacon I need say no more. If you like suspense and action you should give this a try.	positive
1	Great performances	This movie is outstanding. I show it to my sociology class as a lesson on sociolization or the lack thereof and the effect on an individual.	positive
1	Amazingly seductive music	This album is, for the most part, an surprising blend of music that's at once very familiar, yet I've never heard it before. Most tracks work their magic and just sound....right, for lack of a better word. I've been playing this disc in my car for about 6 months or so, and I rarely get tired of it. As The Day Goes By is just perfect, and Razz always captivates. Move On is another gem, sounds familar and does everything right. Tumbledown has a faint country-western echo, and London Fields is just gorgeous. The only track that mars the effort is Ten Tons of Dope. Just skip it. Overall, this is the best work by Sounds From The Ground, and I'm eagerly awaiting their next CD.	positive
0	I have no product to review!	I have yet to receive this product. My credit card was charged August 29th and as of today (September 30) still no brush and no response from the Beach Family Pet Company. So this is more of a review of the company that was suppose to ship the brush within 15 days. I feel that I have been scammed and want my credit card credited the amount of this order.	negative
0	Bad	This gun is bad, it is advertised as a metal gearbox, but when i got it, it was mostly plastic.Second, after 3 hours of use, it broke. Not recommended.	negative
1	A good buy	A great set to own. Some technical information that people may want to know about: 7 discs in total. The Rhine Gold is on one disc only and the others span over 2 discs each. The booklets for each of the four operas in the set are informative and concise, there are notes on the director's stage directions also - an essential ingredient I think in appreciating the production.The quality of the DVD is not great (it is OK), but one must understand that the recording is a quarter of a century old. Just don't compare it to any movie DVD that you've purchased recently.An additional extras DVD on 'the making of' this Ring Cycle performance would have been a BIG improvement to the set. And also some more subtitles (there are English and French subtitles only). Nonetheless, it deserves 5 stars.	positive
0	go with the tremor pack	If you're looking for a rumbling accesory, Interact's Tremor Pack is the way to go. At half the price of Sega's pack, it also rumbles very strongly, and IGN ranked it best out of the three available rumbling accesories.	negative
0	Simplistic view of why men leave the church	I was able to read this book...or I should say, some of this book. I only read three chapters of this book and was deeply disappointed in how this book portrays the church and the simplicity of the lack of men in the modern church.Let me give you an example from the third chapter:"So men avoid church-and suffer for it. Men are more likely than women to be arrested, die violently, commit and be victims of crimes, go to jail, and be addicted. They also die more often on the job, have more heart attacks, commit suicide in greater numbers and live shorter lives than women" (Murrow 23).So, men, if you want to live longer and not die on the job, you better get yourself to church!	negative
0	Very disappointed in product storage	I have eaten Dark Chocolate Toblerone before. It is one of my favorites. However, this chocolate was stale and had been frozen at some time - it had a whitish exterior to the bars. Not just one bar, but all of them. Amazon needs to take more care in selecting their supplier.	negative
0	The stinkiest litter box ever	I wish Amazon accepted a rating of zero stars, because this is the worst litter box I've ever owned. How complicated can making a decent litter box be? The fatal problem with the two Petmate large hooded litter pans that I own is that the top rim of the litter pans are not fully covered by the hood. Therefore, cat urine constantly makes it way into the seams between the hood and the pan, and the boxes reek to high heaven even with regular scooping. Don't they test drive these things?	negative
1	The lyrics were definitely moving.	I have not heard this song in its entirety but I have heard parts of it twice on the radio. I searched amazon.com to find the artist to go with the title. Any listener would be able to identify some point in his life when he could relate to the words of this powerful song.	positive
0	I wouldn't buy it again...	I bought this garlic press about 5 years ago. It has done a good job for the past 5 years, but a month ago it broke on me. I didn't do anything extraordinary. I was just using the press like normal and the hinge broke. Also, the black rubber handles slide back and forth allowing water to get into the handles	negative
1	Excellent audio performance	I use the Sangean WR-2 in my kitchen, and only as a radio. I like the reception that the radio gets, its outstanding sound and the convenient remote control. I have not yet used its alarm features. I also own a far more expensive, yet similar, radio, the Bose Wave radio that I keep in my office. In my opinion, the Sangean WR-2 holds its own on all three counts. The Bose is more attractive looking (less box-like), and I prefer its digital readout, but otherwise the Sangean has performed to the same level in the 3 months that I have owned it.	positive
1	Bad as hell in a good way	This fixture is bad as hell. It's metal, through and through, so that's good. it's also classy and expensive, but cheap because it's on Amazon, so it's not crap, so that's good. It's awesome.	positive
0	Not worth the back pain	I received this as a shower gift. I've used it many times. I discovered that I really love to wear my baby as opposed to pushing her around in the stroller. It's so nice to be able to "hold" her when she is upset and still have my hands free to do other things, like housework or cooking dinner. I have several different baby carriers ranging from the snugli to ring slings. My feelings on the snugli are this...It doesn't have any sort of back support and after a good hour or so of wearing my baby in the snugli, my back and neck are screaming. I've read that the snugli is bad for baby's hips, too, so that doesn't make me feel to great about it. I recently borrowed the BEST carrier from a friend, it's called and ERGO baby carrier. It is the best thing ever invented!!!!! It is soft and supports my back and neck, ugh, I could go on and on and on. I say, skip the cheesy snugli and invest in an ERGO!!!	negative
1	Nice Lamp!	I like this lamp very much! It was very easy to assemble, nice sturdy base and the pull-chain is really smooth when turning on/off. Makes a nice bedside lamp.	positive
0	Good Headphones, Low Quality - Broke After 4 months	Title says it all. At first I loved these headphones, great sound, snug fit, blocked out excess sound. 4 months later the bass is gone, and now I am stuck with high's for headphones. NOT A RECOMMENDED PRODUCT. FYI, I had bought VMODA headphones previously that did the same thing but they at least lasted about 1 1/2 years. The gunmetal black ones were actually more expensive, thinking they would last longer. Boy was I wrong!	negative
0	small pockets	I love the idea, and still use the product often, but they just seemed to miss on the product. To me the pockets are too small to get tools in and out of easily. I think I would have been much better off buying one with less pockets but more room in each pocket, I would look elsewhere.	negative
0	Lack of Pokedex VERY FRUSTRATING	I was disappointed in this guide, due to the lack of detailed strategy. Also, it seemed to gloss over a few of the important areas and treat them like they didn't even exist.It seemed as though the authors quickly wrote it, without verifying strategy and concepts that they described. I expected much more specific and accurate strategy from an official strategy guide. It sure wasn't worth the money in my opinion.If you're really into the game, this "guide" will leave you extremely disappointed. I have used Prima's other Pokemon guides and loved them. As a result, I didn't even look through this one before I bought it. I wish I had. If I had known that it didn't even have a pokedex I wouldn't have wasted my money on it. The "guide" part isn't that great either. It leaves you guessing on many, many points and is just really confusing. I'm sure there are better guides out there somewhere.	negative
1	Fits great!	I wear hats all of the time. This one fits pretty good. I really like the way it looks and it is pretty durable.	positive
1	Excellent deal	The product was delivered very quickly and was as advertised. It is being used in a cellular phone/music player. It has worked as designed, with no problems at all. And the price can't be beat!	positive
1	Criminal Minds Season 1	I love all the characters. Each one brings a unique aspect to the show. Most episodes are thrilling. It keeps you watching and wondering.	positive
0	You'll need to get higher still	Very insincere music and singing here. Bad arrangements and poor instrumentation. After listening to this CD, you'll need to get "higher still"	negative
1	Inspiring for everyone	This book exceeded my expectations. I saw Jamie on the Oprah show, and when I noticed this book on Amazon, I thought why not give it a chance. He actually is a truly good writer too. He is proof of the potential strenght of the human spirit to rise out of extreme anxiety and depression. He deserves a lot of credit for honestly sharing his moving story. Thank you, Jamie.	positive
1	Excellent action thriller	If you have never heard of Jean Reno, you have got to watch this very low key thriller. Natalie Portman performs beautifully and her acting is superlative. Jean Reno, the assasin, is calm, mechanical, and cold blooded. Natalie enters his life (literally via the door scene!) and it changed his outlook.Gary Oldman is perfect for the role of the movie villain and his acting is, as usual, believable and vicious. Danny Aiello is your proverbial Italian 'godfather' and he is casted just right and acted just perfect.The movie, while deserving of 5 stars, certainly could have explored Jean Reno's previous life a lot longer, but regardless, the movie itself should have been named, 'The Professionals' because all the actors were great and kudos to the potted plant. It was manhandled all over the place and it still lived unscathe.Great movie.	positive
1	Can't beat these for the price.	I heard a lot about these from a number of musicians, yes that's what I said. They are using these with their digital keyboards (Yamaha,Roland,etc.) when they play smaller venues. On their recommendations I bought these for my home studio. The subwoofer will knock your socks off and when you EQ your instrument properly the mids and highs are also excellant. My only complaint is that the speaker wires are not very long but that is easily remedied. In summary a good bargain. I may buy another pair for my computer.Tom J	positive
1	No more stink!!	My husband and I love the genie!! I believe it is worth the expense (which isn't really that bad). I know that without the genie the nursery would be unbearable because of the smell. With the genie, there is no smell!! Well...the genie itself does start to smell inside (which is not noticeable until emptying the pail), so we just put a "stick-ups" inside the side and bottom of pail. The genie may sound tricky at first, but is actually very easy to use. You just have to be sure not to push the diaper in past the "teeth" and twist a couple of times so the diapers are not just falling in the pail. As stated previously, be sure to get the right size refills and I highly recommend switching to the toddler (green) refills when your child reaches that stage. Toddlers do make bigger and smellier messes and those refills are thicker.I highly recommend this product!	positive
0	only good thing is the RED	after less than a year of occasional use this toaster bit the dust. i am so glad to throw it away. the only good thing about it was the great red! it would toast from barely warm to burnt while on the same setting, just depending on how you look at it?!	negative
0	This product is not for a 4 yr old.	The tin is very flimsy. The strap is very uncomfortable around a childs neck. I would not recommend this for anyone.	negative
1	The Greatest Hollywood Epic since "Gone with the Wind"	William Wyer's epic masterpiece is now in a four disc DVD set with bonus features as exciting as a chariot race, it's the epic story of betrayal, freedom, loyalty & revenge, the tale of a hero, a tale of the Christ. The legendary Charlton Heston who brought the savior of the hebrews Moses to life stars in a mighty performance as Judah Ben-Hur. It's a spectular & sweeping triumph, a mighty crowning achievement, terrific entertainment. See this legendary film.	positive
0	A Different Point-of-View	I don't review movies, but having purchased this on the basis of a very enthusiastic review, I must offer a different opinion: the production is among the worst I have suffered through -- about the level of a 1940's/1950'2 sci-fi or western weekly serial. (At which time I was too young and naive to suffer.)	negative
1	Understanding how we're influenced	I liked this book because of the insights to how we are influenced. It was well written, an easy read and kept my interest most of the time. I wasn't particularly fond of the sesame street and blues clues examples because those two products bore me. However, the concepts were clear. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone because there are some good insights worth learning.	positive
1	Try to say something different next time "disappointing"!	I can't believe the online review editors let someone write the exact same thing two days in a row! It is really too bad this person can't even muster the creativity to think of one new word in launching a two-review axe grinder.The work really is revelatory, and marks a milestone of sorts in photo book publishing: allowing a group of artists to respond in their own words, designed with their own hands. The other books are not like this, but like the other books, charity is not the point. What happened and what it was that happened and what it felt like and what it seemed like is the point, like all good photo reportage.	positive

1	The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)	This is the more excellent version of The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951), the Original! This is one of those classic 50's science fiction greats. The scenarios gives us our chance to use our imaginations. They just do not make these classics they way they use to. There is way too much gratuitous violence and nudity in today's movies and a handful of yesteryears movies. We need more storyline plots and intriguing situations in our movies. In most cases the great word "older is better" is fitting in most of these classics and The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) version fits this perfectly. I highly recommend this version and other's in this era!	positive
0	A true dissapointment	If you want to use your brain do not buy this album. When "Pump It Up" was first played I loved it, it was a hit. I figured I would buy the album because I figured that the other songs on the album would be just as good. Don't get me wrong a couple of songs are good including "Pump It Up" and "Porno Star" but other than those two and one or two more are pretty good. Other than that the album [is bad]. It is a vastly overrated album sung by an overrated rapper. To me Joe Budden can be categorized as a one hit wonder....	negative
0	Harry Knowles ain't cool and neither is his website	This has to be the most shameless and pretentious piece of junk I've ever read. Harry writes in a style where he's just so full of himself. It's disgusting and soulless. He claims to know everything Hollywood inside and out and claims to be an expert on films and filmmaking. Whatever. Hardly anyone in Hollywood knows who he is and his writing style is that of a five year old. It's not cool. Harry Knowles is not cool. Ain't It Cool News is not cool. And reading his book is not cool. The world of Harry Knowles is as exciting and interesting as eating a bowl of oatmeal.	negative

You'd be wise to save your money and not make these kinds any richer...especially one like this who is short on details when it comes to his association with the Angels. In my opinion he only used their name to help sell the book. Don't bother. Read Sonny's instead.	negative
0	Disappointed	Unfortunately, I have to say I am disappointed with this coffee pot. It is difficult to fill with water, it drips when I pour coffee from the carafe, it's hard to get the carafe in and out, it drips coffee all over the warming plate when using the pause-and-serve function, and the steam from the coffee burns my hand when I pour. I could overlook all of this if it made a good pot of coffee, but the metal carafe makes the coffee taste bad.	negative

There were visible manufacturing defects in both inputs (female 3.5 stereo jacks) and despite this I attempted to insert male audio jacks to no avail.

It is now in the trash can.	negative
0	Waste of money	I was super excited to order this cash register for my two children ages 4 and 5, however, I was quickly disappointed when I realized I had received a piece of junk. The first cash register never turned off so the batteries died after about 3 days of playing with it, maybe a total of 20 minutes. I returned it to Amazon (wonderful customer service) and they sent me another one very quickly, only to learn that the second one was the same way. Now we have a cash register (second one) with no sound. This would typically be fine with me except that I paid $30 for this toy expecting a quality toy that would help my children learn about money, number recognition, etc. I normally do not read reviews before buying a toy, but please heed my advice and DO NOT BUY THIS TOY unless you are ok with it not working properly and are prepared to have very disappointed children (AND parents!).	negative

1	"Absolutely Ridiculous" is far from the truth!	"Absolutely Ridiculous" below is mistaken. He or she doesn't even mention having visited Mexico. Having traveled to Mexico, I can tell you that the various regions of Mexico have vastly differing cooking styles and signature dishes. Bayless has managed to represent a portion of those styles and dishes -- and that's all you could expect a cookbook to do. These recipes are reminiscent of authentic, regional Mexican dishes. These recipes are not like most of the Mexican cooking that you see in this country. These recipes are delicious -- and they work. For me, that's the most important thing about a cookbook. If it's beautiful, extensive, and the recipes sound delicious -- that doesn't mean a thing if the recipes don't work. These do.	positive

Each battery lasted 3-4 days. Save your money and frustration and do not order iCell Tech 312 batteries. The only use for these batteries are the trash.	negative
1	16 in. wine glass racks	I was in process of building a wine cabinet and needed glass racks. These seemed to be just what I was looking for. They arrived in quick time. Some of the packages were open and screws were missing from most of them, but was no big deal as the screws that came with them were too long for 1/2 inch boards. Racks are nice and shiny and look good. Most had a slight warp and are not perfectly level, but was able to use them. My personal biggest problem is that they are 16 and 1/4 inches long, not 16 inches as described. Since I was already constructing my cabinet, I now had to back paddle and redesign my whole plans on cabinet. A pain in the butt, but finally worked out a solution and completed cabinet. The frustration factor is why I only give 4 stars. Otherwise the racks are OK as long as you know they are a 1/4 inch longer than advertised.	positive
1	How to run on 64-bit Windows-7	When I tried to install on our Windows-7 PC I got an error message saying it was not compatible with 64-bit Windows.Doing some research it seams that this is truly "classic" software designed for old 16-bit systems. Windows is only backward-compatible one generation... so 16-bit software will work on 32-bit windows (usually) and 32-bit software will work on 64-bit windows (usually), but 16-bit will NOT work on 64-bit.The good news is that if you have Windows-7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate you can install "XP-Mode" which will let you run windows-xp as a virtual machine. You can then install this in XP and run the program that way. The really nice thing is that you can make a shortcut from the program inside the virtural-XP and place it on your Windows-7 desktop and it will appear to run like any other normal program. Setting this up took about a half-hour (after 15 min or so to download the installer).Here is the link to download XP-Mode: [...]	positive

I now have read two of Sparks' books which inclued The Last Song. I loved the way Dear John was written and I felt as if I was a part of the story which lends to an excellent author! I was so upset with the ending though. I guess all romances don't end in happiness. But, here John learns so many lessons. I would love to see a Dear John, The Sequel. I want to see Savannah with John and a happy ending for both. She still loved him and he still loved her and to complete all the emotions that Sparks' takes his reader through I feel he should publish another Dear John book part 2 with twists and turns but a happy, fulfilling ending. "Sigh", I'm so drained from this novel! I want to see them together!	positive

0	Crap - stay away	Looking at the parameters it is really a nice machine. Visually - same thing.What makes it useless is that the keyboard stops functioning in BRAND NEW OUT OF THE BOX machines. Search the web and you will find many examples. My laptop was alive 2 weeks - now Icannot use it as some of the keys do not work.What happens next you call the customer service and they say they send you the return box. And then they have 10 business days to repair the useless piece of junk that your $1300 just turned into.I had many IBMs and DELLs, for periods of couple of years long. None of that laptops broke in 3 weeks, no even in a couple of years. My last laptop, also a VAIO burned after a year and 2 months. The truth is - Sony makes crappy laptops and has a really poor customer service. If you want waste time and money - GO FOR THAT VAIO.	negative
1	Biased review: Excellent	Have multiple copies on different formats. Favorite film. This release fixes aspect ratio from previous DVD release. Hypnotic film now visible in its intended size (if you set TV to "just fit", rather than default "16x9"). Yes, yos (u get black bars but the photographic composition is gorgeous and worth the bars. Audio hasn't been modified since it's restoration so the overly boosted foley effects (especially the footsteps) get distracting. Bernard Hermann score is a masterpiece and is clean. The bits and pieces of re-recorded music are integrated nicely in restoration. Not for everyone, but everyone should watch this film, as orginally intended, at least once in their lifetime.	positive

The Dive from Claussen's Pier

I could not get through this book, for me it was torture to finally finish it. I would not recommend it, too boring and the story drags on and on.So glad to have finished it and cannot believe that Good Morning America choose this book for their bookclub. Needless to say I will not ever take another book recommendation from them and their bookclub.

time to stop...

Anyone else getting slightly sick of the crappy Now collections. With 15, they have achieved something incredible, in being able tomake a mix with a total of three or fours decent songs. Five for fighting's "100 years", Norah Jones' "sunrise", and the now overplayed "Falls on me" by fuel. Everything else sucks. This compilation is full of more crap then you can pack into an hour. If you would like to waste some of your life listening to some of the worst music created since the beginning of time, then this CD should do nicely. It's not the worst now CD, but every time you here it you'll think it has to be. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.

This Book Is Sick

I loved The Persian Pickle Club, so I picked up The Chili Queen from the library. It started with a character who was the madam of a whorehouse, so, considering the warmth of The Persian Pickle Club, I figured it was a story of redemption. Wrong! There are no likeable characters. They are, to a person, all amoral people committing immoral and illegal acts. I kept waiting for one of them to change, but no, they were evil right to the end. Although Dallas writes well, and her description of people generated a few laughs, and the plot twists were a bit of a surprise (although I guessed one), at the end of the book I felt sick and very sorry I had read it. Oh, and she throws in the detailed rape and murder of a seven-year-old girl. I need a shower.

The drowning scene is a gem, as is the fall; however, for pure evil, you cannot omit her final act to keep hubby to herself--committed selfishly yet diabolically and twistedly from beyond . . .I LOVE Gene Tierney in this film because she was usually such a sweetheart (ie Mrs Muir) and this gives her a chance to show off a whole other character.Go, Gene!

Setting the stage for the original three episodes

A very enjoyable show.... it really gives the background for the episodes which follow. You can see the foundation for Princess Leia and Luke, the history of the Jedis and how they work, why Darth moved to the darkside, who the Emperor was, how R2-D2 and his buddy came to Luke's family... just so much. The film really does a good job of introducing all the episodes that follow. The only thing I was a bit turned off by was what I thought was an excessive use of special effects... I almost had the feeling at times that I was watching a cartoon. Even so, I'd recommend that if you liked the first three episodes, you should see this one.

NOT so much of a racing jack!

First off, it's heavy. Second, it takes approx. 26 pumps to fully extend. Third, the handle pulled apart with minimal effort. You couldn't even pull the jack with it. And fourth, when I unboxed it, I worked the jack up and down to test operation, (which was good, but slow), let it sit in my shop for a day before actually using it, and the thing puked fluid all over my floor. I spent a few exta dollars on an Arcan unit, and love it.

I'll NEVER buy another Creative Card

Wow! I love this card.Easy to install. Setup on XP was no problem at all.Deep, rich sound (Naked Music has never sounded so good). Played Counter-Strike, footsteps were crisp and clear.I recently purchased a Creative Audigy card; after install somewhat random system crashes plauged my heretofore fine system. I call the crashes somewhat random because they occurred randomly while playing counter-strike and always when I tried to play sound from two different programs.Driver updates didn't help at all.The first thing I did before writing this review was to check those old problems.All gone, simply with a Turtle Beach install.Problem solved and with better sound! Can't beat it. Great card, great price. I love it.

The fan is fine, but from all the pictures, the text, and the price, you would think it was made of formed plywood (think Eames). But NO. The fan blades are molded plastic painted to look like wood.

Is this what "rock" has come to?

"Rap-metal". Isn't that an oxymoron? Of course it is, yet many of the so-called rock bands around today fit that description. Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Kid Rock, being the most obvious offendors. Trash like this album simply do not belong in the rock section at music stores, it is an insult to good music. The only reasons kids are buying this album like hotcakes is because a)the antichrist known as eMpTVy told them to b)because it has "cuss words" in it, that makes them feel like they are rebelling (listen to real heavy metal with language instead, Pantera, for example), and c)because it's played endlessly on the radio. Bawitdaba, what the hell is that? Lyrics in music used to mean something. Kids should stop listening to trash like this and read some lyrics by real rock poets such as Roger Waters and Neil Peart, and while they're at it, they should chance a listen at some of the few good bands left today such as Dream Theater and Gov't Mule.

Exploits Fear of the End of Days

This is my 1st book review. I felt compelled to warn people that this book is, in my opinion, very dark and promotes fear of... well, almost everything... even what types of cloths we should wear. If this books future predictions come true I hope God takes me now because existence and survival will be unbearable. I had to throw the book out at about half way thru just because I don't feel Jesus wants us to be in fear of what is to come. I know bad things can happen but this got ridiculous... 3 plagues, nuclear war, famine, killer asteriods, earth quakes, volcanic eruptions; and that's not everything she predicts will happen. I just don't believe it. I've read many NDE books and all of them were better than this. If you want to fear - read it. But, I personally don't recommend this book!

an effective reaction

This book is written in reaction to the tendency of neo-scholastic thinkers to neglect the role of the figure of Christ in the thought of Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, and other Dominican thinkers. To redress this imbalance, Emery and Wawrykow have done an excellent job of compiling essays to address the long-neglected depictions of Christ in the writings and art of the medieval Dominicans through a multidisciplinary approach.

it helps the circulatory system & cardiovascular system

My Dr. was going to put me on blood pressure medications and with the use of hawthorn I've limited that from my medical problems. I've used nature's way for several years before buying Swanson's hawthorn and I was taking 12 a day to keep my blood pressure down as recommend by Nature's way. This product doesn't seem that much higher in strength then Nature's way and it recommends that you use less. After trying Swanson's hawthorn. I find that I can take three of theses a day for the same and better results. Hawthorn is also good for the circulatory system as well as cardiovascular system. My boyfriend takes it for the circulatory and the numbness he had in his hand and since taking hawthorn the numbness has gone away. I'm really surprised this product is so much better and I'm happy with the results as well.

Worst diaper pale ever!! I've had mine for 2 years now and I am throwing it away as soon as my second Decor arrives. No matter how many times I clean the "Chump" it still stinks. The diapers and wipes get caught in the drop hole and stuck wet wipes make it stink even worse. Forget scented trash bags, they won't cure the smell of the "Chump". Also, watch out when changing the bag, you may lose a finger if the lid unexpectedly slams shut on you when changing it. Forget this pale and go for the Decor.

I am a new Children's Director and on my first Sunday I found myself in the elememntry school Sunday School classroom (it's k- 5th grade together) that did not have a teacher. I was able to pull this book out and give the children up bet and fun activities that stress Biblical principles, as well as reached each child on their own cognative level. I am a college student majoring in Children's Ministry and am highly impressed at how well this books teaching methods cover everything that I am learning. (ex. uses the different learning styles, has a "Hook", "Book", "Look", and "Took".) I highly recommend this book for a group that is small and has a variety of ages.

For the beginner, this was very helpful, although I got a little more out of How to Build Your First Lionel Layout by Stanley W. Trzoniec.

Too much static!

This monitor came highly recommnded in one of those books that reviews/recommends products for expectant parents so I thought it was a good buy but boy has it failed. We have been very disappointed! The static is horrible and leaves you fumbling to position it to find the least static possible. The range is short as well -for some reason I can go in the back yard and have some static reception but the front yard gets no reception at all (they are equidistant from the nursery). We have had it for a year and now it is static all of the time so I am ditching this waste of money and getting a different brand! Save your money!

Yikes!

I was really excited when I started to read the book, but then my hopes plumetted. There were several mistakes too. It's impossible for Wickham and Lydia to have four children unless they were twins and Jane can't possibly have a daugter as well as another one on the way. These are simple editorial mistakes..... And the Bingley's illigitiment child totally messes up everything. That's so not Bingley.... Nothing in this book really matches up with what Jane Austen says happens..... as Lady Catherine said,"I am most seriosly displeased."

Excellent Advice!

I read this book prior to the birth of my daughter, and refer back to it as needed. The author takes a common-sense approach to helping your child (and the parents!) sleep through the night. Naturally, the earlier you start helping your child sleep, the better - a 2 month old child will take to it better than a 2 year old. Even still, information is included for all age children.Anyone looking for an easy answer to get their child to sleep on their own, through the night, and without any *protest* is living in a fantasy world! Instead, the book details what levels of protest the parent should expect and be prepared for and at what ages.

More Grooving Can Music

The absolute pinnacle of Can's musical ouvre is Future Days, so I can't honestly say that Can is the best Can record, but its way better than Allmusic's 1 1/2 star review would indicate. This album continues to explore the locked in groove that Can is famous for and is a pleasure to relax and listen to. EFS 99 Can Can is a funny idea, but it is irritating to listen to. I was a little wary of buying this album, but after reading the previous review and listening to the sound samples I clicked the add to cart button and I'm glad that I did.

Where did they dig this movie up?

I've been a big Tomb Raider fan for years. Sorry folks, but lets be honest. This movie was one of the worst action flicks ever. Special effects were fair to good. Sound was fair at best. The story line would have made a good game level, but it didn't make it in the movie. The acting was fair. The DVD has a few special features, interviews, and commentaries. If you're still curious rent it first. Save your dollars.

Greatest Gift of All

With "Built to Last," the Grateful Dead give their fans the ultimate gift. . . . an album so mediocre that even the most enthusiastic fan would be thankful that there would be no more to come. This is the Dead's final trip to the studio. Had they called it a day after "In the Dark," many may have been left wondering what would have followed. Now that the Dead had a certified hit record, how would they follow it up? Rather than leave fans imagining great albums of the future (not that "In the Dark" was any masterpiece, in my opinion), they deliver "Built to Last," demonstrating that the long, strange trip was over indeed.

Very Disappointing

This DVD was a big letdown. I already knew it was short at 28 minutes when I ordered it, but the first 5 minutes are wasted with credits and some bad music. This is a CGI feature and the animation is stiff and low quality. Much of it is simply a series of still images. The narration is given by the aged character Solomon and it is tedious to listen to because he sounds like he is weak and about to die at any second. Worst of all the DVD says practically nothing about the construction of the temple, the purpose of its articles or the related rituals and practices. So you don't really learn much about the temple from it. I was hoping to use this DVD as a "history channel" style learning aid for our church as we studied the construction of the temple but it is not suitable for that purpose. In fact I would be embarrassed to show this to anyone. Don't waste your money.

I was a subscriber to Newsweek from 1994-2009. I relied on the magazine for my comprehensive look at the news. I loved Newsweek and would spend hours pouring over it.

One of the things I've found most frustrating is trying to find the materials for the cards, etc.

Loved this!

I don't know how I never heard of this movie. It is fantastic. It keep me on the edge of my seat. The acting is really good (imho). Dakota Fanning shines. Theron rocks her part and who knew Courtney Love can actually act. Stuart Townsend make a good doctor and Kevin Bacon, Well it's kevin bacon I need say no more. If you like suspense and action you should give this a try.

Amazingly seductive music

This album is, for the most part, an surprising blend of music that's at once very familiar, yet I've never heard it before. Most tracks work their magic and just sound....right, for lack of a better word. I've been playing this disc in my car for about 6 months or so, and I rarely get tired of it. As The Day Goes By is just perfect, and Razz always captivates. Move On is another gem, sounds familar and does everything right. Tumbledown has a faint country-western echo, and London Fields is just gorgeous. The only track that mars the effort is Ten Tons of Dope. Just skip it. Overall, this is the best work by Sounds From The Ground, and I'm eagerly awaiting their next CD.

I have no product to review!

I have yet to receive this product. My credit card was charged August 29th and as of today (September 30) still no brush and no response from the Beach Family Pet Company. So this is more of a review of the company that was suppose to ship the brush within 15 days. I feel that I have been scammed and want my credit card credited the amount of this order.

A good buy

A great set to own. Some technical information that people may want to know about: 7 discs in total. The Rhine Gold is on one disc only and the others span over 2 discs each. The booklets for each of the four operas in the set are informative and concise, there are notes on the director's stage directions also - an essential ingredient I think in appreciating the production.The quality of the DVD is not great (it is OK), but one must understand that the recording is a quarter of a century old. Just don't compare it to any movie DVD that you've purchased recently.An additional extras DVD on 'the making of' this Ring Cycle performance would have been a BIG improvement to the set. And also some more subtitles (there are English and French subtitles only). Nonetheless, it deserves 5 stars.

Simplistic view of why men leave the church

I was able to read this book...or I should say, some of this book. I only read three chapters of this book and was deeply disappointed in how this book portrays the church and the simplicity of the lack of men in the modern church.Let me give you an example from the third chapter:"So men avoid church-and suffer for it. Men are more likely than women to be arrested, die violently, commit and be victims of crimes, go to jail, and be addicted. They also die more often on the job, have more heart attacks, commit suicide in greater numbers and live shorter lives than women" (Murrow 23).So, men, if you want to live longer and not die on the job, you better get yourself to church!

Very disappointed in product storage

I have eaten Dark Chocolate Toblerone before. It is one of my favorites. However, this chocolate was stale and had been frozen at some time - it had a whitish exterior to the bars. Not just one bar, but all of them. Amazon needs to take more care in selecting their supplier.

The stinkiest litter box ever

I wish Amazon accepted a rating of zero stars, because this is the worst litter box I've ever owned. How complicated can making a decent litter box be? The fatal problem with the two Petmate large hooded litter pans that I own is that the top rim of the litter pans are not fully covered by the hood. Therefore, cat urine constantly makes it way into the seams between the hood and the pan, and the boxes reek to high heaven even with regular scooping. Don't they test drive these things?

I wouldn't buy it again...

I bought this garlic press about 5 years ago. It has done a good job for the past 5 years, but a month ago it broke on me. I didn't do anything extraordinary. I was just using the press like normal and the hinge broke. Also, the black rubber handles slide back and forth allowing water to get into the handles

Excellent audio performance

I use the Sangean WR-2 in my kitchen, and only as a radio. I like the reception that the radio gets, its outstanding sound and the convenient remote control. I have not yet used its alarm features. I also own a far more expensive, yet similar, radio, the Bose Wave radio that I keep in my office. In my opinion, the Sangean WR-2 holds its own on all three counts. The Bose is more attractive looking (less box-like), and I prefer its digital readout, but otherwise the Sangean has performed to the same level in the 3 months that I have owned it.

Not worth the back pain

I received this as a shower gift. I've used it many times. I discovered that I really love to wear my baby as opposed to pushing her around in the stroller. It's so nice to be able to "hold" her when she is upset and still have my hands free to do other things, like housework or cooking dinner. I have several different baby carriers ranging from the snugli to ring slings. My feelings on the snugli are this...It doesn't have any sort of back support and after a good hour or so of wearing my baby in the snugli, my back and neck are screaming. I've read that the snugli is bad for baby's hips, too, so that doesn't make me feel to great about it. I recently borrowed the BEST carrier from a friend, it's called and ERGO baby carrier. It is the best thing ever invented!!!!! It is soft and supports my back and neck, ugh, I could go on and on and on. I say, skip the cheesy snugli and invest in an ERGO!!!

Good Headphones, Low Quality - Broke After 4 months

Title says it all. At first I loved these headphones, great sound, snug fit, blocked out excess sound. 4 months later the bass is gone, and now I am stuck with high's for headphones. NOT A RECOMMENDED PRODUCT. FYI, I had bought VMODA headphones previously that did the same thing but they at least lasted about 1 1/2 years. The gunmetal black ones were actually more expensive, thinking they would last longer. Boy was I wrong!

small pockets

I love the idea, and still use the product often, but they just seemed to miss on the product. To me the pockets are too small to get tools in and out of easily. I think I would have been much better off buying one with less pockets but more room in each pocket, I would look elsewhere.

Lack of Pokedex VERY FRUSTRATING

I was disappointed in this guide, due to the lack of detailed strategy. Also, it seemed to gloss over a few of the important areas and treat them like they didn't even exist.It seemed as though the authors quickly wrote it, without verifying strategy and concepts that they described. I expected much more specific and accurate strategy from an official strategy guide. It sure wasn't worth the money in my opinion.If you're really into the game, this "guide" will leave you extremely disappointed. I have used Prima's other Pokemon guides and loved them. As a result, I didn't even look through this one before I bought it. I wish I had. If I had known that it didn't even have a pokedex I wouldn't have wasted my money on it. The "guide" part isn't that great either. It leaves you guessing on many, many points and is just really confusing. I'm sure there are better guides out there somewhere.

Excellent action thriller

If you have never heard of Jean Reno, you have got to watch this very low key thriller. Natalie Portman performs beautifully and her acting is superlative. Jean Reno, the assasin, is calm, mechanical, and cold blooded. Natalie enters his life (literally via the door scene!) and it changed his outlook.Gary Oldman is perfect for the role of the movie villain and his acting is, as usual, believable and vicious. Danny Aiello is your proverbial Italian 'godfather' and he is casted just right and acted just perfect.The movie, while deserving of 5 stars, certainly could have explored Jean Reno's previous life a lot longer, but regardless, the movie itself should have been named, 'The Professionals' because all the actors were great and kudos to the potted plant. It was manhandled all over the place and it still lived unscathe.Great movie.

Can't beat these for the price.

I heard a lot about these from a number of musicians, yes that's what I said. They are using these with their digital keyboards (Yamaha,Roland,etc.) when they play smaller venues. On their recommendations I bought these for my home studio. The subwoofer will knock your socks off and when you EQ your instrument properly the mids and highs are also excellant. My only complaint is that the speaker wires are not very long but that is easily remedied. In summary a good bargain. I may buy another pair for my computer.Tom J

No more stink!!

My husband and I love the genie!! I believe it is worth the expense (which isn't really that bad). I know that without the genie the nursery would be unbearable because of the smell. With the genie, there is no smell!! Well...the genie itself does start to smell inside (which is not noticeable until emptying the pail), so we just put a "stick-ups" inside the side and bottom of pail. The genie may sound tricky at first, but is actually very easy to use. You just have to be sure not to push the diaper in past the "teeth" and twist a couple of times so the diapers are not just falling in the pail. As stated previously, be sure to get the right size refills and I highly recommend switching to the toddler (green) refills when your child reaches that stage. Toddlers do make bigger and smellier messes and those refills are thicker.I highly recommend this product!

A Different Point-of-View

I don't review movies, but having purchased this on the basis of a very enthusiastic review, I must offer a different opinion: the production is among the worst I have suffered through -- about the level of a 1940's/1950'2 sci-fi or western weekly serial. (At which time I was too young and naive to suffer.)

Understanding how we're influenced

I liked this book because of the insights to how we are influenced. It was well written, an easy read and kept my interest most of the time.

Overall I would recommend this book to anyone because there are some good insights worth learning.

Try to say something different next time "disappointing"!

I can't believe the online review editors let someone write the exact same thing two days in a row! It is really too bad this person can't even muster the creativity to think of one new word in launching a two-review axe grinder.The work really is revelatory, and marks a milestone of sorts in photo book publishing: allowing a group of artists to respond in their own words, designed with their own hands. The other books are not like this, but like the other books, charity is not the point. What happened and what it was that happened and what it felt like and what it seemed like is the point, like all good photo reportage.

The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

This is the more excellent version of The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951), the Original! This is one of those classic 50's science fiction greats. The scenarios gives us our chance to use our imaginations. They just do not make these classics they way they use to. There is way too much gratuitous violence and nudity in today's movies and a handful of yesteryears movies. We need more storyline plots and intriguing situations in our movies. In most cases the great word "older is better" is fitting in most of these classics and The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) version fits this perfectly. I highly recommend this version and other's in this era!

A true dissapointment

If you want to use your brain do not buy this album. When "Pump It Up" was first played I loved it, it was a hit. I figured I would buy the album because I figured that the other songs on the album would be just as good. Don't get me wrong a couple of songs are good including "Pump It Up" and "Porno Star" but other than those two and one or two more are pretty good. Other than that the album [is bad]. It is a vastly overrated album sung by an overrated rapper. To me Joe Budden can be categorized as a one hit wonder....

Harry Knowles ain't cool and neither is his website

This has to be the most shameless and pretentious piece of junk I've ever read. Harry writes in a style where he's just so full of himself. It's disgusting and soulless. He claims to know everything Hollywood inside and out and claims to be an expert on films and filmmaking. Whatever. Hardly anyone in Hollywood knows who he is and his writing style is that of a five year old. It's not cool. Harry Knowles is not cool. Ain't It Cool News is not cool. And reading his book is not cool. The world of Harry Knowles is as exciting and interesting as eating a bowl of oatmeal.

sing loud and cash the check

A rat is a rat......is a rat. I guess this guy and others like him (see Henry Hill and Sammy the Bull) feel if they can make some money getting average citizens to read about their exploits maybe they can justify (to themselves) their betrayal of their friends and brothers. You'd be wise to save your money and not make these kinds any richer...especially one like this who is short on details when it comes to his association with the Angels. In my opinion he only used their name to help sell the book. Don't bother. Read Sonny's instead.

Disappointed

Unfortunately, I have to say I am disappointed with this coffee pot. It is difficult to fill with water, it drips when I pour coffee from the carafe, it's hard to get the carafe in and out, it drips coffee all over the warming plate when using the pause-and-serve function, and the steam from the coffee burns my hand when I pour. I could overlook all of this if it made a good pot of coffee, but the metal carafe makes the coffee taste bad.

Waste of money

I was super excited to order this cash register for my two children ages 4 and 5, however, I was quickly disappointed when I realized I had received a piece of junk. The first cash register never turned off so the batteries died after about 3 days of playing with it, maybe a total of 20 minutes. I returned it to Amazon (wonderful customer service) and they sent me another one very quickly, only to learn that the second one was the same way. Now we have a cash register (second one) with no sound. This would typically be fine with me except that I paid $30 for this toy expecting a quality toy that would help my children learn about money, number recognition, etc. I normally do not read reviews before buying a toy, but please heed my advice and DO NOT BUY THIS TOY unless you are ok with it not working properly and are prepared to have very disappointed children (AND parents!).

"Absolutely Ridiculous" is far from the truth!

"Absolutely Ridiculous" below is mistaken. He or she doesn't even mention having visited Mexico. Having traveled to Mexico, I can tell you that the various regions of Mexico have vastly differing cooking styles and signature dishes. Bayless has managed to represent a portion of those styles and dishes -- and that's all you could expect a cookbook to do. These recipes are reminiscent of authentic, regional Mexican dishes. These recipes are not like most of the Mexican cooking that you see in this country. These recipes are delicious -- and they work. For me, that's the most important thing about a cookbook. If it's beautiful, extensive, and the recipes sound delicious -- that doesn't mean a thing if the recipes don't work. These do.

16 in. wine glass racks

I was in process of building a wine cabinet and needed glass racks. These seemed to be just what I was looking for. They arrived in quick time. Some of the packages were open and screws were missing from most of them, but was no big deal as the screws that came with them were too long for 1/2 inch boards. Racks are nice and shiny and look good. Most had a slight warp and are not perfectly level, but was able to use them. My personal biggest problem is that they are 16 and 1/4 inches long, not 16 inches as described. Since I was already constructing my cabinet, I now had to back paddle and redesign my whole plans on cabinet. A pain in the butt, but finally worked out a solution and completed cabinet. The frustration factor is why I only give 4 stars. Otherwise the racks are OK as long as you know they are a 1/4 inch longer than advertised.

How to run on 64-bit Windows-7

When I tried to install on our Windows-7 PC I got an error message saying it was not compatible with 64-bit Windows.Doing some research it seams that this is truly "classic" software designed for old 16-bit systems. Windows is only backward-compatible one generation... so 16-bit software will work on 32-bit windows (usually) and 32-bit software will work on 64-bit windows (usually), but 16-bit will NOT work on 64-bit.The good news is that if you have Windows-7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate you can install "XP-Mode" which will let you run windows-xp as a virtual machine. You can then install this in XP and run the program that way. The really nice thing is that you can make a shortcut from the program inside the virtural-XP and place it on your Windows-7 desktop and it will appear to run like any other normal program. Setting this up took about a half-hour (after 15 min or so to download the installer).Here is the link to download XP-Mode: [...]

I just finished reading Dear John last night and I was so drained by the end. It was a great book that lit so many emotions. I now have read two of Sparks' books which inclued The Last Song. I loved the way Dear John was written and I felt as if I was a part of the story which lends to an excellent author! I was so upset with the ending though. I guess all romances don't end in happiness. But, here John learns so many lessons. I would love to see a Dear John, The Sequel. I want to see Savannah with John and a happy ending for both. She still loved him and he still loved her and to complete all the emotions that Sparks' takes his reader through I feel he should publish another Dear John book part 2 with twists and turns but a happy, fulfilling ending. "Sigh", I'm so drained from this novel! I want to see them together!

Crap - stay away

Looking at the parameters it is really a nice machine. Visually - same thing.What makes it useless is that the keyboard stops functioning in BRAND NEW OUT OF THE BOX machines. Search the web and you will find many examples. My laptop was alive 2 weeks - now Icannot use it as some of the keys do not work.What happens next you call the customer service and they say they send you the return box. And then they have 10 business days to repair the useless piece of junk that your $1300 just turned into.I had many IBMs and DELLs, for periods of couple of years long. None of that laptops broke in 3 weeks, no even in a couple of years. My last laptop, also a VAIO burned after a year and 2 months. The truth is - Sony makes crappy laptops and has a really poor customer service. If you want waste time and money - GO FOR THAT VAIO.

Biased review: Excellent

Have multiple copies on different formats. Favorite film. This release fixes aspect ratio from previous DVD release. Hypnotic film now visible in its intended size (if you set TV to "just fit", rather than default "16x9"). Yes, yos (u get black bars but the photographic composition is gorgeous and worth the bars. Audio hasn't been modified since it's restoration so the overly boosted foley effects (especially the footsteps) get distracting. Bernard Hermann score is a masterpiece and is clean. The bits and pieces of re-recorded music are integrated nicely in restoration. Not for everyone, but everyone should watch this film, as orginally intended, at least once in their lifetime.
