0	Horrible Game	This game is boring. You can't follow the story line, and if I hadn't read the books I would not understand it at all. The fight scenes take too long and they are also boring. In the mines of Moria there is this one place where you have to go but you get stuck because the game has a bug. The controls are extremely weird and take a long time to get used to. I have bought this game and I do not like it. I would suggest not buying it.	negative
1	Information	Hi, I request that information on some tennisbuy this same post on the 30th Novemberthis year and they have not been registeredthe mailbox in Miami, I wonder if sent tomailbox because the purchase is already debited to theCredit card and hope to have the most rapidinformation on shipment statusThanks	positive
1	great bagels and toast	So far we are very happy with this toaster oven. The controls are easy to use, the bagels and toast come out perfect and never burned. The outside of the toaster doesn't get too hot except you have to be careful when grabbing the handle. The nearby metal on the door does get hot. Otherwise I would've given it five stars. It looks great on the counter too. We've also used it to bake and that was fine; haven't broiled with it yet. It was really hard to find something with all the desired features and wasn't a Black and Decker. We had bad luck with that brand. So far so good. Would purchase again and recommend.	positive
1	Great Game	I never watch hockey and I never play hockey but this game is still appealing to me. The graphics are the best I have ever seen in any game ever made. You may think that this game only looks great on the PS2 but it actually looks better on my computer than on a PS2 (but then again my computer is much faster than the PS2). The graphics will make you start playing this game and the gameplay with keep you playing it.	positive
0	Not for the common layperson	I was assigned this book in a college course and I have to say that it is hard to follow. If its intention is to bridge the gap between the theologist and the layperson, then they need to continue working on the bridge because it definitely isn't finished. I consider myself of at least average intelligence, but this book left me questioning what exactly their point was in almost every chapter. I have learned a few things from reading this book, but it has mostly left me more confused than before I ever read it. I think this book is better suited for those that already have some understanding of biblical theology and the terms involved. It also seems they are trying to lead people into what their interpretation is instead of sticking to teaching you how to make your own interpretation. On the back cover it says "Several chapters rewritten for better readability.". Um...Fee & Stuart...rewrite the WHOLE book for readability because it still isn't working.	negative
1	Can't wait for Season 4!	This is one of the best shows on tv. We don't have cable, so I have to wait for the dvd's. However, it's nice to be able to watch them several in a row and without commercials!This season has a few flaws, but nothing major. It still keeps me on the edge of my seat. Personally, I love the character development episodes just as much as the action oriented ones.	positive
0	Ugh.	Predictable plot, wooden characters, bad dialogue, and careless research ruin an exciting premise. Besides the author's confusion over geography and passports, there are some really stupid sentences like (and this is an exact quote) "She gave Morgan an incredulous look like she didn't believe this." What does Martini think "incredulous" means, anyway? Did an editor even look at this mess?	negative
0	Kids album? Misleading at best	Working in children's music ministry, I picked up this album with much anticipation... however, that was short-lived. The Integrity Music/Hillsongs marketing machine can't seem to get enough distance out of the "Shout to the Lord" brand, so they slap a kids title on an album that features very little of the namesake. (Maybe they have learned from the "Left Behind" brand ... sigh)While there are some great tracks with kids on the album ("Every Move I Make", "Worship You Forever"), this is mostly an adult album, with a token assortment of kids sprinkled in. Christian record labels still don't seem to "get it" when it comes to kids and worship. The pacing of the middle tracks make it hard to sing-along in a larger group setting. Also, the length on the tracks tend to be a little on the long side for a young child's attention level.I'll take last year's "Kids in Worship" release from Sparrow Records over this album anyday...	negative
0	Broke after 2 weeks	I bought the 80 gig version and it failed after 2 weeks. I performed the test to find the problem and the drive was unable to complete the test, probably because it sounded like the hard drive was spinning very sloppy and possibly contacting something else. I e-mailed WD the results of my test (failed to complete test) and they obviously didn't read the E-mail because they answered me telling me to take the same test I had attempted several times. They do not repair disks, only replace them and the hassle to replace it was a real pain, I refuse to put ANY important information on this drive because it is terrible quality.	negative
0	Seven Metals Singing Bowls of Tibet	Thought trying something different would be cool and find a relaxing CD.I think this music is boring and not worth the money.I found no relaxation from this guy and his bowls.I only played it once and cant really remember it too well because once was quite enough.	negative
0	AWFUL!!!	Tastes like it was soaked in soy sauce and THEN smoked!!! This one hit the trash can the first night!!!	negative
1	Great soundtrack to a great movie!	'Reunion' and 'Truman Sleeps' are two of the greatest songs that I've ever found on a soundtrack. Images of the movie are stirred in my mind everytime I play this cd, and especially 'Truman Sleeps', which is absolutly fantastic. Buy this cd NOW!	positive
1	Mary does her thing on this album!!! It's BANGIN!!	I must admit I have never been a huge Mary J. Blige fan, but in the recent years I can tell she has matured a lot. This new album is simply a display of how much she has grown. The Queen of Hip Hop Soul is truly a fitting title for her, she wears the crown very well. You have converted me to a true fan MARY!!!	positive
0	Alphabet cutter set	These were awful. The width is incredibly thin and the height is way too tall so it was impossible to get dough out of them.They wrecked my contribution to family cookie day.	negative
1	High Art	Uber cool, erotic and funny at times. The sophisticated world of the artist, hipsters and addicts converge to create something wonderful.The unusual and beautiful score is as essential to this indi gem as the offbeat characters. Presents a deeper, more personal meaning of art in a world that seeks only to profit from it...	positive
0	Disappointing Book	What about reading about an artwork:"This painter is in its best. His paint is full of movement and color, and it represents the best of this period of the art."And then you look for the picture and did not find it. Or in the best case scenario, you find a small, black and white, pale picture of the paint.That's what happens in this book.Disappointing :-(	negative
0	Horrible	Stopped working after a week and the wires rip so easily. Not worth it at all. Spend a few more dollars some wheres else.	negative
0	Hey im looken for this kinda book	I'm looken for a sicking werewolf book. One thats about a werewolf & he or she has to go around and turn others into werewolfs & is being hunted by a wereewolf killer or something can you recement something.	negative
0	Meh	It's a cute costume and all, but the ears have no rigidity leaving them to just hang down. This of course means my son no longer looked anything like yoda. Oh well, maybe next year he can wear the robe only and go as Obi Wan	negative
1	Sacred Games (P.S)	I would say this was a good book to read. It gives insight into the lives of the ordinary people of India and It encompasses the religion of India in an interesting way. At no time did I think I was wasting my time reading it and that is something because there is a lot of reading involved. At the end I was very glad I read it and there were certain aspects that stayed with me.	positive
1	Just when I thought she had done her best...	Just when I thought she had done her best, she blew me away with this album.absolutely amazing, a must own for trip hop fans or Excellent female vocals.Siempre-S	positive
0	fairly weak	considering the Subject matter i expected more details than some things that were long ago known.this Book feels more like a copy&Paste.Donna Summer is a Foxy lady&Has Made some Very Important Music&this Book doesn't capture that at all for me.looking for Her Book later this year.	negative
1	So far so good	Works as advertised. Found same model at doctors office. Thier office staff swears by it. easy to use easy to read.	positive
1	great balun	used this to make a homemade HDTV antenna. works great. only had it for an hour though, so i might update this later.	positive
0	Total wasted time	If you liked the Blair Witch Project, you'll LOVE this inane waste of atoms! The other reviewer who cited the inclusion of Danny Glover on the DVD cover as a hoped-for celebrity draw is right. He must have been hard-up at the time, & ditto for all participants!!One star really overrates this abomination.	negative
1	AMAZING!!	I have thick, naturally curly/wavy/frizzy hair and I hate it so I have been blow drying my hair straight and using a flat iron on it for years now. I am cheap and have always bought the cheapo flat iron at Wal-Mart or something but have always heard wonderful things about the Chi. I finally got one and I will NEVER go back. The iron heats up fully in just a minute and my hair gets so straight so fast and easily that I don't even use my curling iron anymore. I can use this flat iron to flip the ends out a bit and it's perfect! I wear my hair down more because it is just so fast and easy to fix now whereas before I would usually have it half pulled up or in a ponytail (especially since it's summer). Many people have noticed the difference in my hair without even knowing I got the new Chi iron. I think if my house were on fire, the Chi would be on the list of things to save! LOL! Seriously....SO WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!	positive
1	Not a toy!	I am using this machine to shake bottles of soak off gel polish and it is doing a wonderful job!Thanks so much!	positive
0	hated it	this book sucks. great to read if u want to commit suicide. not even one star out of a million.	negative
0	Substandard performances	The music performances on this cd is substandard, for Aaron Kwok isn't a competent singer. His weak vocals cannot do any justice to the music, which itself is quite uninspiring. I won't recommend this cd to anyone.	negative
1	This book means more to me than any other I've ever read.	I read this in conjunction with Ender's Shadow, and between them both, I really feel that this is an amazing look into the pressures of genius and responsibilities and the humans on the other side of the intellect. It's not so much about sci-fi then about people.	positive
0	Crummy re-recordings	These aren't the recordings you remember and they just doesn't have the punch. Very weak.	negative
1	Liked it	At one time, about a year ago, I tried to read ODD THOMAS and couldn't force myself past the first chapter. What compelled me to give the sequel a shot- I don't know, but I'm glad I did. This is a fun, humble, and exciting book. I really like the main carachter, Odd Thomas. Now, I've read some reviews on here where people trash this book. While they might have found faults in it, I think overall its worth whatever $7 or so price you're going to pay. People who write these 20 paragraph rebukes of this book.... well, I think it's a bit overboard. This book is by far no stinker. I read a lot of books (mainstream, literary, poetry, etc) and I really enjoyed this and will read the third book (Though I'm still skeptical about the first).	positive
1	Silmarillion	I used this book for a college class and it served me well. I got it in great shape for a good price too!	positive
0	a good movie but the band........	are a bunch of whiners. Now on to the review.I am somewhat of a metallica fan, not huge, but I do have Kill em all through And jusctice for all.This is a very good movie, gives you a look at what its like inside a studio and a band thats going through some turmoil. By the way, James Hetfield is a complete jerk in this movie	negative
1	Designing Web Usability	This book is a great primer for the novice Webmaster who wants to start obtaining top SEO position. It is also a helpful update for the experienced Webmaster. One of many building blocks for the Interney-savvy Internet marketing professional.William C. HeadAttorney at LawAtlanta, GA[...]	positive
0	30minutes wasted	I received this as an xmas pressie and my copy was put straight into my xmas waste bin. From there it went straight to my local Oxfam shop. Would they dare to put it onto their shelves? Mindless dribble from an author who doesnt seem to realise that she is not the writer that she thinks she is. I would like to ask the reviewers who gave this 5 stars "are you the author or do you know her?"	negative
0	Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	I love Beyonce! I think that she is very talented, an excellent performer and also beautiful. I waited for this album with anticiapation and I knew that it would be "ALL THAT". But instead of "ALL THAT " I got "GARBAGE". This is a terrible CD and she could have done much better.Even the title of her songs are soooooo out of her character and ghetto! Don't get me wrong I think it is a good idea to switch up and give women something we can dance to and anthem women empowerment songs, however her entire album doesn't reflect her voice vocally!It seems to me like something you have to listen to over and over again to make yourself like it since you spent your money on it.I would say get it on BOOTLEG "10 SONGS". Before you know it you're back at number one and feeling very disappointed.DO BETTER NEXT TIME!	negative
1	What's up with the red color in Orphanage scene?	I love this movie but was startled when watching the new DVD release - when they arrive at the burning orphanage the whole screen turns red. What's up with that? The scene is not in color but just a red tint. It is distracting, espeically when the movie goes back to black & white. The contrast is disturbing. Does anyone know what the movie makers were thinking when they applied this red tint? I would have preferred the entire movie to be presented in black & white, however, if the orignal had this red-tint during the orphanage scene, then I agree this is how Warner should have released it. I'm just scratching my head as to what effect the producers were trying to accomplish, because it fails miserably (at first I thought the color on my TV had gone off). The movie is still terrific and the effects our still impressive when viewed today.	positive
1	interesting	i believe there are certain topics that you need to discuss with a potential mate/significant other, and this book seems to be the middle ground between where you are now and where you will be later on. a promising informational book.	positive
0	Lose this Format!	Just another example of technology forcing us to upgrade. I have been uising SmartMedia for three years, love my Olympus Cameras and now we are going to have this forced down our throats?Maybe PDA's and MP3's need this, but the camera format we had was just fine!Do not succumb!	negative
1	Vacuum check valve	This is an item that I used to get the vacuum heater valve to work. It actually works to block the vacuum from slacking off when the manifold vacuum slacks off under acceleration. The item was delivered, as I have come to expect from Amazon, ahead of schedule and in good condition. Thanks, I needed it.	positive
0	A little too far outside the lines	While some of what Dr. Schank condemns about schools is valid, he is too ready to dismiss them as irrelevant to children's education. There are creative and committed teachers who do far more than teach "test taking", and his broad condemnation of schools does nothing to encourage their efforts on our children's behalf. He also dismisses literature as an "unnecessary subject" and Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences as a "politically correct view of intelligence", suggesting that reading and math are the only subjects worth learning. This narrow view of what constitutes education and expertise lessens his credibility as an educational "expert".	negative
0	I WANT MY MONEY BACK	I consider myself to be as big an industrial fan as any. But, I own EVERY Gary Numan CD and EVERY NIN CD and I can tell you right now this is not "Gary Numan" or "NIN" in any way.Sorry Ade, but using all the same synthesizers that Trent Reznor uses does not make you "Trent Reznor". And having Gary Numan sing on your tracks does not make you "Gary Numan". These songs were so boring and the lyrics corny. I've listened to this CD 7 times hoping it would grow on me. It didn't. This work is far inferior to the artists he tries to emulate.Go ahead and buy it if you must. I had to due to all the hype. But I was sorely disappointed.	negative
1	Director, Fusion Standards	I have reviewed this book thoroughly and found to be useful and excellent for scholars. It treats the subject matter with ample algorithms and process diagrams which will be helpful for implementers.	positive
0	Nice but misleading size	I bought these shoes after reading all the 5 star ratings, none of which warned me that the shoe actually loosens up after you wear it once. So the second time I wore this pair it was so loose that I could'nt even walk. Its a pretty pair of shoe and quite comfortable the first time, would not recommend it though but if you must buy it after reading all the misleading ratings, you must get atleast 1/2 a size smaller to wear it more than once. BTW I ordered in size 8.	negative
1	#1 PM reference book!	This is the BEST reference book you can buy if you are a PM collector. All the figurines are in this book with their value, depending of the year the figurine was issued - even the most rare ones! You can also read about the story of how PM started, how they are made, variations in figurines and much more! It's a good "investment" to make, believe me!! :)	positive
1	Sublime Voice; Songs don't always measure up	Clay's voice soars to new territory on this CD, particularly on songs like "Touch" and "Run to Me" and "Invisible", which could otherwise be categorized as ho-hum pop music, if Clay wasn't singing them. The lyrics are a little corny, but Clay makes them sound sincere. The vocal range of most of these songs is not very great, and thus they don't properly show off Clay's unique tenor to-die-for voice.I wish that the "experts" who molded some of these songs would have kept their involvement in the project to a minimum, and left the songs pure, instead of processing them with pop synthesizer sounds. I can hear that on any modern day pop album, and it is not very special. On the other hand, I can only hear Clay's voice on a few CD's. And his true voice is great enough that it shouldn't be crowded by synthesizer warble.	positive
1	A Heartrending tale of Family Love and Loss	I have never been so profoundly affected by a book before in my life. Each member of this Mormon family comes alive and Card makes you love each one of them. I read chapters of this book while holding my breath between pages! The book captures the evils that we all encounter in our everyday lives. I worried about the oldest son, Stevie, when he went to school and about the father at work every day. The book is very spiritual and I would not classify it as fantasy. The small details about the Mormon religion were fascinating and inspiried me to read a book by a former Mormon after finishing Lost Boys. The ending is unbearably sad but also uplifting. I read the last chapter with tears streaming down my face and finished the book sobbing uncontrollably. I couldn't really regain my composure the rest of the evening and the book will always remain with me. I think that parents will be especially affected by the story of this family.	positive
1	Pretty good	The price of this tent starts to approach that of an entry level canvas tent. Springbow and Kodiak make tents in this ~10x10 size that can be set up by one person in minutes and will last a lifetime if cared for properly.While this tent has features that compete well against other nylon tents, I would expect it to be worn out in 5 years...For the portability, price and weight this is a good buy.I'm going canvas next time.	positive
0	Interesting film.	Not really good, not bad. Interesting. Downey's performance was excellent and heartbreaking. He amazes me with his versatility. He can be totally silly, like in Friends and Lovers, or utterly brilliant, like in Restoration, which is a masterpiece, and everything in between. The man is a superb actor. He was definately the shining star in this one, although his part was small.	negative
0	Broke completely after 5 days of use	Received system on 6/29 and set it up the same day. The collar rattled as if the batteries were loose but everything powered on okay and the collar made the appropriate chimes and delivered shocks. Fast forward to 7/3, the collar and possibly the barrier had stopped working. Collar still rattled and when I shook it the back flew off. Cheap doesn't even begin to describe this product. Sending it back for a refund and will probably avoid Petsafe products in the future.	negative
1	Well worth the Money	These are the best I've ever cooked on. The heat distributes beautifully, never a need to set flame any higher than a medium. Clean up is a breeze. Personally, although the manufacturer says it is OK, I do not use any metal utensils on them and clean them as soon as I am done cooking. Wipe them dry and store them one inside the other with a large piece of old rubber matting I had cut to conform to shape. A precaution against scratching.	positive
0	Unreliable: Stuttering Audio	As a radio broadcaster, I've had to dump this unreliable product. In XP, on a 1.99 GHz laptop with a gig of memory, Transit's recordings are frequently flawed by stuttering and what sounds like the product's inability to keep up while writing line input content.Sections of a recording will skip madly, missing bytes, then clear up. Other times, the recordings are damaged to the end of the file, the unit cannot recover -- even through periods of silence. Capturing live content where no retakes are possible is a complete gamble.I can only assume this is a fatal hardware flaw. Nothing on M-Audio's web site addresses the issue ehich others have mentioned here, and an hour on hold for each attempt to talk to tech support uses up any cost-effective attempt at a solution. We've thoroughly field-tested the M-Audio Transit, and it's failed.	negative
0	Kip Kinkel is an anomoly	The problem I see with this book is that it makes a sweeping generalization of all school shooters based on one case, Kip Kinkel, who suffers from mental illness. In contrast, other school shootings appear to be the result of bullying and a sense of helplessness by kids that before being bullied appeared to have been fairly normal children. What is pushing these children over the edge that results in the heartbreaking decision to seek retribution by violence? What is happening in our society and what do we do about it?	negative
0	Just buy mineral oil	After using just mineral oil on my butcher-block island, I decided to try this, having heard the virtues of beeswax. Leaves a residue that makes me feel uncomfortable to leave things on the island for too long. Maybe I'll try pure beeswax sometime. But in the meantime, this wasn't really an improvement over a $2 bottle of mineral oil from the drugstore.	negative
1	ATTENTION SCHUBERTIANS!--FIRST CLASS WORK...	.Nice, new (re)release by EMI at a reasonable price.Rarely heard dancesteps by Schubert; can get a little hectoring after a while..	positive
1	Superb if you took calculus, understood it and need a quick refresher. Problematic for any other use.	This is another in the Schaum's series that is excellent for review, good as a supplement and almost impossible to use as a stand-alone learning tool. The problems are all suitable for the (re)study of differential and integral calculus, they are worked out in enough detail and the coverage of two semesters of calculus is essentially complete. If you have taken calculus and did well in the course, then there is no better way to perform a quick brushing up of your skills. Other than that, using this book is problematical.	positive
1	A MUST READ FOR ANY EXECUTIVE OR MANAGER!!	Fantastic little book filled with gentle reminders and fabulous "secrets". A MUST READ for any executive, manager, supervisor, leader, partner, or parent. Reading this little book over and over is like seeing a favorite movie - you pick up something new with each preview. You will not be disappointed.	positive
0	A very biased view of Jefferson.	I could not finish the book as it was so biased and not sticking to the facts of who and what Jefferson represented. Trying to show that Jefferson adapted many views of his liberal college professor does not reflect his future conservative policies. Jefferson is the original Republican and his constant debate over the strength of the central government and many other issues with the liberal elitist Adams is very well known.I would not recommend this book.	negative
0	This saw not as good as the Hitachi C10FSH with Laser.	Didn't want to review until I used both this and the Hitachi laser dual slider (Hitachi C10FSH 10" Dual Bevel Slide Compound with Laser) for at least a few months. Both saws are great. However, I give Hitachi the extra endorsement because:1. Hitachi can bevel to the right and left (dual bevel). The Makita can't. If you do trim often, you will appreciate this feature.2. No laser on the Makita. The laser on the Hitachi is dead on. No need to lift, check and recheck. This is a time saver and it is very accurate.3. Slide action on the Hitachi is smoother than the Makita.4. Hitachi has a softer start and is quieter.This is a good saw, but the Hitachi a better saw for an extra $30 which gets you a better saw plus dual bevel and laser.I have been cutting laminate flooring, trim and cabinet faceframes with both for a few months. All my contractors prefer the Hitachi.Good luck shopping!	negative

0	Great Streets = The Grand Canal with Nathan Lane	Im so glad I saw this. I am extremely upset with the quality of the vhs along with the missing section which is the reason I bought it in the first place.	negative
0	Always a Fan...But NOT impressed this time!	I could do without this new CD. I just dont like this new style she is trying to go with. This album is nothing compared to Nick's. I wouldnt waste your money unfortunately on this one.	negative
1	very useful	What a great idea this is and how handy it's come in many times at home and on the road! We had some problems with this at first with my 2-year-old daughter being strong enough to tear off whatever it was we were using for a bib. Paper napkins were especially vulnerable but she was able to rip off cloth ones too. However, once she figured out that messing around with it was only delaying mealtime she stopped. We purchased this 2 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it already. It's really nice not having to wash bibs all the time or chance her spilling food on her clothes. I am glad I bought 2 because my son is due any day now and I'll be using it with him too!	positive
0	good idea but.....	I loved the idea of these. We have hard wood and tile floors through out our house. However these didn't stay in place and were too tight on my daughters legs. I know of another person who bought them and said the same thing. Too bad I could have really used them!	negative
1	Complete seasons, please!!	This selcetion is nice enough, but basically a waste of time. Please release the complete seasons instead.	positive
1	Fantastic	We read this every night before bed and then I read the story in the actual Bible. It is the only children's bible story book I have seen that doesn't distort details...such as...the animals on Noah's boat were 7 of the clean and 2 of the unclean. Most stories say there were 2 of everything.I also appreciate how substantial this book is, not just covering a few basic stories, but doing a very good job of including stories that even most adults are unfamiliar with. Great tool for children AND families.	positive
1	Well made.	This was a perfect fit in girth, but too short in length for my shih-tzu. I ended up purchasing a Small and altering it at the top seam.	positive
0	Lousy Machine	I had the same problems as the first reviewer with my Jvc Hi-fi Vcr/DVD Combo. The DVDs started freezing up on the machine after just a few months use. I gave up and decided to buy a separate DVD player. I am still using the VCR to play videos but the recording and receiving quality is so bad it is just good for playback. Anything you attempt to record with the VCR is just second rate quality and using the time recording function is just to frustrating. Why bother --- the video quality is just not worth the hassel. I am current looking to replace the system with something better.	negative
0	Don't get this game! Buy another one!	I rented this game (luckily I didn't buy it) hoping it would be a good college basketball game. Man, was I wrong. I really wanted it so I could play with my favorite team, but found that my team wasn't even in the game, even though they are a division 1 school. In fact, the game leaves out a number of 1-A conferences. Some of the conferences they leave out have teams that make it to the tournament almost every year! I don't get it. The gameplay also is not good. I feel like I have almost no control over the ball handler. The courts are not detailed either. They all look the same (with the exception of the school logo in the center). I stress to you not to buy this game. I am just happy I rented it before buying.	negative
0	DOESN'T HAVE UPDATED KOREAN	I ended up selling this cause the vocab that I learned from it is really old...I would use the vocab out of here with some of my Korean friends & they would always correct me saying, "we don't say that". I live about 30 mins from VA so I have a lot of friends to practice with. This book doesn't have some useful expressions but it's just out of date.	negative
0	For true beginners only	This book covers only the very basics, some open chords and strumming patterns. You'd be disappointed, like I was, if you're looking for a primer on playing real country & blues songs. For the same amount of money, I'd get Arnie Berle's Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar, which is much more substantive and more helpful if you ever want to get beyond the beginner's stage.	negative
0	Charlotte Church's 3rd worst CD ever	Charlotte's CD this time is very bad as usual. I can sing much better than her cause my voice teacher cares about me and Charlotte's voice teacher does not!	negative
0	nice pix - lousy narrative	I am very disappointed by this book. While the pictures are plentiful and striking, the information in the book is essentially useless. While the authors make a valiant attempt to cover a breadth of species, they do so at the expense of providing any depth beyond what you might expect from your teenager's research report. The vast majority of photos are extreme close-ups of the blooms - great if you're looking for a coffee table book. Since there are few pictures of complete plants, however, the photos do not really aid in plant identification. Finally, a casual read uncovered three typos - all of which would have been caught through a spell check. I'm left thinking the authors were more interested in making a quick buck than making a quality contribution to the science and methods of orchid care.	negative
0	one of the worst literary purchases i have ever made!	having,for the past 30 or so years, read between 40 and 50 books annually, i can practically count on the fingers of one hand those books i have "just not been able to get through" (ishiguro's pretentiously incomprehensible "unconsoled" was my last failure in this area.) by page 20 of mr. tapon's offering, i had grave doubts. by page 50 i was walking the book down the hall to the garbage. this book has the dubious distinction of being the only book i have ever owned that was left for the junk man	negative
0	Worst Season So Far....	After brining in Jimmy Smits for season 3, producers informed us that John Lithgow would be joining the cast for season 4.Knowing this immediately took most of the suspense out of season 4. We knew right away that John Lithgow would die at the hand of Dexter during the last episode. So we are left to watch as Dexter and Trinity connect and await Trinity's inevitable death.The supporting cast was left on the sidelines this season. They were forced to endure a pathetic storyline of romance problems that are painful to watch.There were a couple of key characters which were killed off this season so hopefully Dexter can get back to business in season 5.	negative

1	VERY solid lens, ran over it with my pickup-truck	No joke, I ran over this thing during a busy film day with my Chevy 3500. Felt a "bump" while backing up, and was immediatly horiffied to become aware that my camera bag was not in the truck with me. I hopped out, and sure enough, ran over the bag with the lens inside. Glass seemed to be everywhere, but upon picking up the lens, it was from a UV filter mounted upon it. The hood was also shattered, and the focus ring was bent. It seems that the heavy glass optics, housed inside the metal barell, can withstand the weight of a 3/4-ton truck! Still takes (to my eye) perfect pictures! No auto-focus now, and the ring is difficult and "gritty" to turn, but honestly, this accident made me a believer in Tokina products!

0	Do not buy if using in your lap!	This had great reviews but I'm so unhappy with this product. I purchased it for working on my laptop in my easy chair. Firstly the legs on the stand are metal and gouge into my legs when using it while sitting and the weight of the notebook rests on these. Why on earth wasn't the back left solid straight across? I have no use for the USB organizer. I'm sure it would work fairly well on a tabletop but not for what I wanted. The front raised areas intended to catch the notebook from sliding off aren't high enough to stop even a 15" size as that has repeatedly happened. I have tried to add padding to make do but may just throw it in the garbage. Table maybe yes, but lap a definite NO!	negative

1	Great Book!	I got this book for my nephew who loves dinosaurs. He is 5 and was totally impressed with the cool pop ups. They are sturdy enough for a 5 year old to use and not tear up.

1	Full gambit of songs	Makaveli shows his whole hand on this album. You get a little political, you get some pain, you get something to dance to, and you get scathing diss songs for weak hearted rappers. Definitely a classic album that will satisfy original 2pacalypse now fans as well as fans that found out about pac in his later more angry days.	positive
1	Great product right out of the box	The Hot Link works just as described, right out of the box. It is easy to set up, and does its job very well with no hassles.

Horrible Game

This game is boring. You can't follow the story line, and if I hadn't read the books I would not understand it at all. The fight scenes take too long and they are also boring. In the mines of Moria there is this one place where you have to go but you get stuck because the game has a bug. The controls are extremely weird and take a long time to get used to. I have bought this game and I do not like it. I would suggest not buying it.

great bagels and toast

So far we are very happy with this toaster oven. The controls are easy to use, the bagels and toast come out perfect and never burned. The outside of the toaster doesn't get too hot except you have to be careful when grabbing the handle. The nearby metal on the door does get hot. Otherwise I would've given it five stars. It looks great on the counter too. We've also used it to bake and that was fine; haven't broiled with it yet. It was really hard to find something with all the desired features and wasn't a Black and Decker. We had bad luck with that brand. So far so good. Would purchase again and recommend.

Great Game

I never watch hockey and I never play hockey but this game is still appealing to me. The graphics are the best I have ever seen in any game ever made. You may think that this game only looks great on the PS2 but it actually looks better on my computer than on a PS2 (but then again my computer is much faster than the PS2). The graphics will make you start playing this game and the gameplay with keep you playing it.

Not for the common layperson

I was assigned this book in a college course and I have to say that it is hard to follow. If its intention is to bridge the gap between the theologist and the layperson, then they need to continue working on the bridge because it definitely isn't finished. I consider myself of at least average intelligence, but this book left me questioning what exactly their point was in almost every chapter. I have learned a few things from reading this book, but it has mostly left me more confused than before I ever read it. I think this book is better suited for those that already have some understanding of biblical theology and the terms involved. It also seems they are trying to lead people into what their interpretation is instead of sticking to teaching you how to make your own interpretation. On the back cover it says "Several chapters rewritten for better readability.". Um...Fee & Stuart...rewrite the WHOLE book for readability because it still isn't working.

Can't wait for Season 4!

This is one of the best shows on tv. We don't have cable, so I have to wait for the dvd's. However, it's nice to be able to watch them several in a row and without commercials!This season has a few flaws, but nothing major. It still keeps me on the edge of my seat. Personally, I love the character development episodes just as much as the action oriented ones.

Ugh.

Predictable plot, wooden characters, bad dialogue, and careless research ruin an exciting premise. Besides the author's confusion over geography and passports, there are some really stupid sentences like (and this is an exact quote) "She gave Morgan an incredulous look like she didn't believe this." What does Martini think "incredulous" means, anyway? Did an editor even look at this mess?

Kids album? Misleading at best

Working in children's music ministry, I picked up this album with much anticipation... however, that was short-lived. The Integrity Music/Hillsongs marketing machine can't seem to get enough distance out of the "Shout to the Lord" brand, so they slap a kids title on an album that features very little of the namesake. (Maybe they have learned from the "Left Behind" brand ... sigh)While there are some great tracks with kids on the album ("Every Move I Make", "Worship You Forever"), this is mostly an adult album, with a token assortment of kids sprinkled in. Christian record labels still don't seem to "get it" when it comes to kids and worship. The pacing of the middle tracks make it hard to sing-along in a larger group setting. Also, the length on the tracks tend to be a little on the long side for a young child's attention level.I'll take last year's "Kids in Worship" release from Sparrow Records over this album anyday...

Broke after 2 weeks

I bought the 80 gig version and it failed after 2 weeks. I performed the test to find the problem and the drive was unable to complete the test, probably because it sounded like the hard drive was spinning very sloppy and possibly contacting something else. I e-mailed WD the results of my test (failed to complete test) and they obviously didn't read the E-mail because they answered me telling me to take the same test I had attempted several times. They do not repair disks, only replace them and the hassle to replace it was a real pain, I refuse to put ANY important information on this drive because it is terrible quality.

What about reading about an artwork:"This painter is in its best. His paint is full of movement and color, and it represents the best of this period of the art."And then you look for the picture and did not find it.

I would say this was a good book to read. It gives insight into the lives of the ordinary people of India and It encompasses the religion of India in an interesting way.

AMAZING!!

I have thick, naturally curly/wavy/frizzy hair and I hate it so I have been blow drying my hair straight and using a flat iron on it for years now. I am cheap and have always bought the cheapo flat iron at Wal-Mart or something but have always heard wonderful things about the Chi. I finally got one and I will NEVER go back. The iron heats up fully in just a minute and my hair gets so straight so fast and easily that I don't even use my curling iron anymore. I can use this flat iron to flip the ends out a bit and it's perfect! I wear my hair down more because it is just so fast and easy to fix now whereas before I would usually have it half pulled up or in a ponytail (especially since it's summer). Many people have noticed the difference in my hair without even knowing I got the new Chi iron. I think if my house were on fire, the Chi would be on the list of things to save! LOL! Seriously....SO WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!

Liked it

At one time, about a year ago, I tried to read ODD THOMAS and couldn't force myself past the first chapter. What compelled me to give the sequel a shot- I don't know, but I'm glad I did. This is a fun, humble, and exciting book. I really like the main carachter, Odd Thomas. Now, I've read some reviews on here where people trash this book. While they might have found faults in it, I think overall its worth whatever $7 or so price you're going to pay. People who write these 20 paragraph rebukes of this book.... well, I think it's a bit overboard. This book is by far no stinker. I read a lot of books (mainstream, literary, poetry, etc) and I really enjoyed this and will read the third book (Though I'm still skeptical about the first).

Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Beyonce! I think that she is very talented, an excellent performer and also beautiful. I waited for this album with anticiapation and I knew that it would be "ALL THAT". But instead of "ALL THAT " I got "GARBAGE". This is a terrible CD and she could have done much better.Even the title of her songs are soooooo out of her character and ghetto! Don't get me wrong I think it is a good idea to switch up and give women something we can dance to and anthem women empowerment songs, however her entire album doesn't reflect her voice vocally!It seems to me like something you have to listen to over and over again to make yourself like it since you spent your money on it.I would say get it on BOOTLEG "10 SONGS". Before you know it you're back at number one and feeling very disappointed.DO BETTER NEXT TIME!

What's up with the red color in Orphanage scene?

I love this movie but was startled when watching the new DVD release - when they arrive at the burning orphanage the whole screen turns red. What's up with that? The scene is not in color but just a red tint. It is distracting, espeically when the movie goes back to black & white. The contrast is disturbing. Does anyone know what the movie makers were thinking when they applied this red tint? I would have preferred the entire movie to be presented in black & white, however, if the orignal had this red-tint during the orphanage scene, then I agree this is how Warner should have released it. I'm just scratching my head as to what effect the producers were trying to accomplish, because it fails miserably (at first I thought the color on my TV had gone off). The movie is still terrific and the effects our still impressive when viewed today.

A little too far outside the lines

While some of what Dr. Schank condemns about schools is valid, he is too ready to dismiss them as irrelevant to children's education. There are creative and committed teachers who do far more than teach "test taking", and his broad condemnation of schools does nothing to encourage their efforts on our children's behalf. He also dismisses literature as an "unnecessary subject" and Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences as a "politically correct view of intelligence", suggesting that reading and math are the only subjects worth learning. This narrow view of what constitutes education and expertise lessens his credibility as an educational "expert".

I WANT MY MONEY BACK

I consider myself to be as big an industrial fan as any. But, I own EVERY Gary Numan CD and EVERY NIN CD and I can tell you right now this is not "Gary Numan" or "NIN" in any way.Sorry Ade, but using all the same synthesizers that Trent Reznor uses does not make you "Trent Reznor". And having Gary Numan sing on your tracks does not make you "Gary Numan". These songs were so boring and the lyrics corny. I've listened to this CD 7 times hoping it would grow on me. It didn't. This work is far inferior to the artists he tries to emulate.Go ahead and buy it if you must. I had to due to all the hype. But I was sorely disappointed.

I bought these shoes after reading all the 5 star ratings, none of which warned me that the shoe actually loosens up after you wear it once. So the second time I wore this pair it was so loose that I could'nt even walk. Its a pretty pair of shoe and quite comfortable the first time, would not recommend it though but if you must buy it after reading all the misleading ratings, you must get atleast 1/2 a size smaller to wear it more than once.

Sublime Voice; Songs don't always measure up

Clay's voice soars to new territory on this CD, particularly on songs like "Touch" and "Run to Me" and "Invisible", which could otherwise be categorized as ho-hum pop music, if Clay wasn't singing them. The lyrics are a little corny, but Clay makes them sound sincere. The vocal range of most of these songs is not very great, and thus they don't properly show off Clay's unique tenor to-die-for voice.I wish that the "experts" who molded some of these songs would have kept their involvement in the project to a minimum, and left the songs pure, instead of processing them with pop synthesizer sounds. I can hear that on any modern day pop album, and it is not very special. On the other hand, I can only hear Clay's voice on a few CD's. And his true voice is great enough that it shouldn't be crowded by synthesizer warble.

A Heartrending tale of Family Love and Loss

I have never been so profoundly affected by a book before in my life. Each member of this Mormon family comes alive and Card makes you love each one of them. I read chapters of this book while holding my breath between pages! The book captures the evils that we all encounter in our everyday lives. I worried about the oldest son, Stevie, when he went to school and about the father at work every day. The book is very spiritual and I would not classify it as fantasy. The small details about the Mormon religion were fascinating and inspiried me to read a book by a former Mormon after finishing Lost Boys. The ending is unbearably sad but also uplifting. I read the last chapter with tears streaming down my face and finished the book sobbing uncontrollably. I couldn't really regain my composure the rest of the evening and the book will always remain with me. I think that parents will be especially affected by the story of this family.

The price of this tent starts to approach that of an entry level canvas tent. Springbow and Kodiak make tents in this ~10x10 size that can be set up by one person in minutes and will last a lifetime if cared for properly.While this tent has features that compete well against other nylon tents, I would expect it to be worn out in 5 years...For the portability, price and weight this is a good buy.I'm going canvas next time.

Interesting film.

Not really good, not bad. Interesting. Downey's performance was excellent and heartbreaking. He amazes me with his versatility. He can be totally silly, like in Friends and Lovers, or utterly brilliant, like in Restoration, which is a masterpiece, and everything in between. The man is a superb actor. He was definately the shining star in this one, although his part was small.

Received system on 6/29 and set it up the same day. The collar rattled as if the batteries were loose but everything powered on okay and the collar made the appropriate chimes and delivered shocks. Fast forward to 7/3, the collar and possibly the barrier had stopped working. Collar still rattled and when I shook it the back flew off. Cheap doesn't even begin to describe this product.

Personally, although the manufacturer says it is OK, I do not use any metal utensils on them and clean them as soon as I am done cooking. Wipe them dry and store them one inside the other with a large piece of old rubber matting I had cut to conform to shape. A precaution against scratching.

Unreliable: Stuttering Audio

As a radio broadcaster, I've had to dump this unreliable product. In XP, on a 1.99 GHz laptop with a gig of memory, Transit's recordings are frequently flawed by stuttering and what sounds like the product's inability to keep up while writing line input content.Sections of a recording will skip madly, missing bytes, then clear up. Other times, the recordings are damaged to the end of the file, the unit cannot recover -- even through periods of silence. Capturing live content where no retakes are possible is a complete gamble.I can only assume this is a fatal hardware flaw. Nothing on M-Audio's web site addresses the issue ehich others have mentioned here, and an hour on hold for each attempt to talk to tech support uses up any cost-effective attempt at a solution. We've thoroughly field-tested the M-Audio Transit, and it's failed.

Kip Kinkel is an anomoly

The problem I see with this book is that it makes a sweeping generalization of all school shooters based on one case, Kip Kinkel, who suffers from mental illness. In contrast, other school shootings appear to be the result of bullying and a sense of helplessness by kids that before being bullied appeared to have been fairly normal children. What is pushing these children over the edge that results in the heartbreaking decision to seek retribution by violence? What is happening in our society and what do we do about it?

Superb if you took calculus, understood it and need a quick refresher. Problematic for any other use.

This is another in the Schaum's series that is excellent for review, good as a supplement and almost impossible to use as a stand-alone learning tool. The problems are all suitable for the (re)study of differential and integral calculus, they are worked out in enough detail and the coverage of two semesters of calculus is essentially complete. If you have taken calculus and did well in the course, then there is no better way to perform a quick brushing up of your skills. Other than that, using this book is problematical.

A MUST READ FOR ANY EXECUTIVE OR MANAGER!!

Fantastic little book filled with gentle reminders and fabulous "secrets". A MUST READ for any executive, manager, supervisor, leader, partner, or parent. Reading this little book over and over is like seeing a favorite movie - you pick up something new with each preview. You will not be disappointed.

A very biased view of Jefferson.

I could not finish the book as it was so biased and not sticking to the facts of who and what Jefferson represented. Trying to show that Jefferson adapted many views of his liberal college professor does not reflect his future conservative policies. Jefferson is the original Republican and his constant debate over the strength of the central government and many other issues with the liberal elitist Adams is very well known.I would not recommend this book.

This saw not as good as the Hitachi C10FSH with Laser.

Didn't want to review until I used both this and the Hitachi laser dual slider (Hitachi C10FSH 10" Dual Bevel Slide Compound with Laser) for at least a few months. Both saws are great. However, I give Hitachi the extra endorsement because:1. Hitachi can bevel to the right and left (dual bevel). The Makita can't. If you do trim often, you will appreciate this feature.2. No laser on the Makita. The laser on the Hitachi is dead on. No need to lift, check and recheck. This is a time saver and it is very accurate.3. Slide action on the Hitachi is smoother than the Makita.4. Hitachi has a softer start and is quieter.This is a good saw, but the Hitachi a better saw for an extra $30 which gets you a better saw plus dual bevel and laser.I have been cutting laminate flooring, trim and cabinet faceframes with both for a few months. All my contractors prefer the Hitachi.Good luck shopping!

very useful

What a great idea this is and how handy it's come in many times at home and on the road! We had some problems with this at first with my 2-year-old daughter being strong enough to tear off whatever it was we were using for a bib. Paper napkins were especially vulnerable but she was able to rip off cloth ones too. However, once she figured out that messing around with it was only delaying mealtime she stopped. We purchased this 2 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it already. It's really nice not having to wash bibs all the time or chance her spilling food on her clothes. I am glad I bought 2 because my son is due any day now and I'll be using it with him too!

good idea but.....

I loved the idea of these. We have hard wood and tile floors through out our house. However these didn't stay in place and were too tight on my daughters legs. I know of another person who bought them and said the same thing. Too bad I could have really used them!

Fantastic

We read this every night before bed and then I read the story in the actual Bible. It is the only children's bible story book I have seen that doesn't distort details...such as...the animals on Noah's boat were 7 of the clean and 2 of the unclean. Most stories say there were 2 of everything.I also appreciate how substantial this book is, not just covering a few basic stories, but doing a very good job of including stories that even most adults are unfamiliar with. Great tool for children AND families.

Lousy Machine

I had the same problems as the first reviewer with my Jvc Hi-fi Vcr/DVD Combo. The DVDs started freezing up on the machine after just a few months use. I gave up and decided to buy a separate DVD player. I am still using the VCR to play videos but the recording and receiving quality is so bad it is just good for playback. Anything you attempt to record with the VCR is just second rate quality and using the time recording function is just to frustrating. Why bother --- the video quality is just not worth the hassel. I am current looking to replace the system with something better.

Don't get this game! Buy another one!

I rented this game (luckily I didn't buy it) hoping it would be a good college basketball game. Man, was I wrong. I really wanted it so I could play with my favorite team, but found that my team wasn't even in the game, even though they are a division 1 school. In fact, the game leaves out a number of 1-A conferences. Some of the conferences they leave out have teams that make it to the tournament almost every year! I don't get it. The gameplay also is not good. I feel like I have almost no control over the ball handler. The courts are not detailed either. They all look the same (with the exception of the school logo in the center). I stress to you not to buy this game. I am just happy I rented it before buying.

DOESN'T HAVE UPDATED KOREAN

I ended up selling this cause the vocab that I learned from it is really old...I would use the vocab out of here with some of my Korean friends & they would always correct me saying, "we don't say that". I live about 30 mins from VA so I have a lot of friends to practice with. This book doesn't have some useful expressions but it's just out of date.

For true beginners only

This book covers only the very basics, some open chords and strumming patterns. You'd be disappointed, like I was, if you're looking for a primer on playing real country & blues songs. For the same amount of money, I'd get Arnie Berle's Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar, which is much more substantive and more helpful if you ever want to get beyond the beginner's stage.

nice pix - lousy narrative

I am very disappointed by this book. While the pictures are plentiful and striking, the information in the book is essentially useless. While the authors make a valiant attempt to cover a breadth of species, they do so at the expense of providing any depth beyond what you might expect from your teenager's research report. The vast majority of photos are extreme close-ups of the blooms - great if you're looking for a coffee table book. Since there are few pictures of complete plants, however, the photos do not really aid in plant identification. Finally, a casual read uncovered three typos - all of which would have been caught through a spell check. I'm left thinking the authors were more interested in making a quick buck than making a quality contribution to the science and methods of orchid care.

one of the worst literary purchases i have ever made!

having,for the past 30 or so years, read between 40 and 50 books annually, i can practically count on the fingers of one hand those books i have "just not been able to get through" (ishiguro's pretentiously incomprehensible "unconsoled" was my last failure in this area.) by page 20 of mr. tapon's offering, i had grave doubts. by page 50 i was walking the book down the hall to the garbage. this book has the dubious distinction of being the only book i have ever owned that was left for the junk man

Worst Season So Far....

After brining in Jimmy Smits for season 3, producers informed us that John Lithgow would be joining the cast for season 4.Knowing this immediately took most of the suspense out of season 4. We knew right away that John Lithgow would die at the hand of Dexter during the last episode. So we are left to watch as Dexter and Trinity connect and await Trinity's inevitable death.The supporting cast was left on the sidelines this season. They were forced to endure a pathetic storyline of romance problems that are painful to watch.There were a couple of key characters which were killed off this season so hopefully Dexter can get back to business in season 5.

Great Product for the Price

Very satisfied with the product. A few comments: Item was smaller than expected, picture is a little deceiving, but still great & easy to read. It came without owners manual or programming instructions, but was easy to find & print out online at LaCrosse site. Very easy to program & set up once I got that.Excellent value for the money & Amazon free shipping was great. Came right on time.Seems quite accurate with temperatures.

VERY solid lens, ran over it with my pickup-truck

No joke, I ran over this thing during a busy film day with my Chevy 3500. Felt a "bump" while backing up, and was immediatly horiffied to become aware that my camera bag was not in the truck with me. I hopped out, and sure enough, ran over the bag with the lens inside. Glass seemed to be everywhere, but upon picking up the lens, it was from a UV filter mounted upon it. The hood was also shattered, and the focus ring was bent. It seems that the heavy glass optics, housed inside the metal barell, can withstand the weight of a 3/4-ton truck! Still takes (to my eye) perfect pictures! No auto-focus now, and the ring is difficult and "gritty" to turn, but honestly, this accident made me a believer in Tokina products! (and also I since buy square trade accident insurance!)-heavy/strong-good optics

Started Gamely - Ended Lamely

I seem to be in the minority on this book. I started reading it with great hopes of discovering a new crime writer. But I found it too wordy, too graphically sexy, too psychopathic and too derivative. Based on my feelings about this novel, I don't think I'll try any of his other works.

Gorgo

What I liked about the movie was courage when they want something bad enough for what ever reason they will do it or die trying.The stupid part is they rush into catching A monster they know nothing about,no research,not even if it is A grown adult.Which in later the parent shows up over 200 feet tale wanting to know where the kid is.

nifty table

You have to be careful setting food and drinks on this table, because if the table isn't unfolded completely, the thing may fold up again, spilling your food and drink all over the floor. Not really big enough for two people eating a meal, either. Unless you're eating an extremely light meal using paper plates only, this table isn't big enough for a 2-person complete meal.

a love for great new music

I received the latest Garbage cd for my birthday titled Beautiful Garbage.. I have listened to it over and over again. This cd just mixes a lot of different beats in each song. I felt each song also has a different feel, meaning to it. My moods would go well with certain songs.... Shirley definitely did a good job on this album. I like their different styles on this album. She just overall has a good voice, but garbage is definitely something you would want to have. A must.. because it's so unique and just great...

Good, but could be better

Don't get me wrong, this dvd is great, but if it had the music video for "Hold On" and some concert footage, it would be better. The dvd has all the videos up to "Hold On." Even though it doesn't feature the concerts, the video for the "Festival Song" was taped at a concert. But overall the Good Charlotte dvd has excellent commentaries on the videos.

Do not buy if using in your lap!

This had great reviews but I'm so unhappy with this product. I purchased it for working on my laptop in my easy chair. Firstly the legs on the stand are metal and gouge into my legs when using it while sitting and the weight of the notebook rests on these. Why on earth wasn't the back left solid straight across? I have no use for the USB organizer. I'm sure it would work fairly well on a tabletop but not for what I wanted. The front raised areas intended to catch the notebook from sliding off aren't high enough to stop even a 15" size as that has repeatedly happened. I have tried to add padding to make do but may just throw it in the garbage. Table maybe yes, but lap a definite NO!

I was quite puzzled when I pulled the item out of the package.It had the tissue paper you use to decorate gifts wrapped around the inside and on the outside the oh so fabulous brown plastic bag.If you are sending something worth so much i recommend you change your packaging style.It looked very tacky and cheap.On top of that there were some rubber grip pieces missing from the bottom of the calculator. And in it's place: permanent marker.

Great Book!

I got this book for my nephew who loves dinosaurs. He is 5 and was totally impressed with the cool pop ups. They are sturdy enough for a 5 year old to use and not tear up. He was very fascinated with learning all the new dinosaurs, especially since he could watch them "grow" before his eyes. Great detail and great factoids about the individual dinosaurs.

Makaveli shows his whole hand on this album. You get a little political, you get some pain, you get something to dance to, and you get scathing diss songs for weak hearted rappers.

The Hot Link works just as described, right out of the box. It is easy to set up, and does its job very well with no hassles. I am going to buy another one just to hide another system. I would buy this one over and over. It works much better than another RF system I have that costs four times as much.
