0	disappointing and childish	I bought this book hoping to find an intelligent defense of faith, given that the author is such a well respected fiction writer. Unfortunately, what I found were the kinds of arguments that I used while in grade school and discarded soon thereafter. If you've thought critically about anything at any point in your life, you're not going to get anything out of this book.	negative
1	Great Set, Terrible Shipping	The turkey fryer is an ideal gift with everything you could ask for. My only disappointment is it was shipped directly in the box it came in with the shipping label on the side. The box and product were damaged during shipping and even though I indicated this item was a gift, the surprise was ruined.	positive
0	AWFUL!	This author acts like a pervert. Not a christian. He treats women as sexual objects made for mens desire. I mean, aren't men suppose to have hearts for their wives? Can't she have a break after she gives birth???	negative
0	Piece of crap	The quick release on this head is poorly designed, suggest Manfrotto do something about it. I have so many gauges in my hand from trying to release it, and I have no confidence in it not releasing my camera falling, wish I would have returned this PoS.	negative
1	Best purchase ever!!!!	We bought this exersaucer when our little guy was barely able to sit upright because we needed a break! We had no idea how much he would love it! He plays with the musical animal buttons like a maniac, he looks like he is conducting his own personal orchestra. Without a doubt, the best baby purchase we have ever made. I'd pay twice the price.	positive
1	Mac.4.0 Online Service	I purchased this as a birthday present for my son. He is very pleased with it.	positive
0	Uninteresting!	This book contains some appreciable and actual facts about stock market. But that's about it. In any reasonable mind, technical analysis in stock market is like astrology. In three words: useless, boring, and complicated. So don't waste your time and money on this book.This book is so boring and complicated than I never finnished it. The reality in stock market is a lot different. If you want to succeed: Keep it simple! Buy stocks from excellent companies at their low and hold on. It's that simple! You don't need complicated graphs analysis and worthless ritual like that.Keep it simple!	negative
0	Just because you can doesn't mean you should	Am I the only one who notices that Linkin Park have 5 C.D.'s out, and out of those 5, only two are studio albums? Both of those studio albums went multi-platinum, but that's not enough for these kids. They have to make a remix album, a live album, and another remix album (as if the first one weren't bad enough!) I don't know about you, but where I come from, we call that an S-E-L-L O-U-T!	negative
0	What a Struggle	This book was a real struggle to read. The authors thank their editor for helping to combine the writing of a Canadian and an Englishman, but as an American, I kept tripping over the excessive use of commas. Coupled with numerous typos, it was very hard to complete this book. While the authors disagree with Baigent and Leigh, I will credit the latter with providing footnotes, a more complete bibliography, and an index, all of which are missing from this book. This leaves me without much to pursue further. The real disappointment is the realization that this book is really only a part 1 of a story and all of the promises made to reveal things are left to the next book. I gave it the second star only because there actually are some original ideas presented here. Too bad the only way to continue to research their ideas is to take them on faith or wait for their next book. I hope they change editors before then and give us the benefit of some real references.	negative
1	Beware of Blogging Addiction	Okay, I was skeptical. I hate "livejournals" and the like. Some things are not meant for mass consumption, if you ask me. Luckily, Biz didn't. After reading the first few chapters, I was hooked. I couldn't wait to finish reading it, so I was starting my own blog with the book propped open.All my questions were answered with ease and a bit of humor. Now that I've gotten started, I'll be referencing chapters like "Better Blogging" and "Adding Dynamic Features" to improve my site.This book is a must-have for anyone with a weblog.	positive
0	Where's the Popmart In Mexico City DVD?	This is the second DVD from the Elevation Tour, with mostly redundant setlists from the Boston DVD.The music and sound quality are superb, but the camera work is the typical MTV-style flashy, fast-cut-jumble where nothing stays in place for more than one second (just like the Boston DVD). If that type of editting annoys you, be prepared for lots of it, including extremely grating close-ups of Bono's face during one song I can't remember, due to dizziness and eye-strain, this video is mostly a visual blur.A wiser decision would have been to release this show as a limited collector's item for the U2 Fanclub, and release the visually superior and more musically inspiring "Popmart From Mexico City" finally on DVD instead.5 stars for the musical content, 0 stars for the editting and camera work.	negative
1	Denali Titanium 136-Piece drill/drive set	Quality is good except for the smaller diameter drill bits, they break easily. Good price, I would buy it again if I had to do it over.	positive
0	Porter Cable Needs to Improve Quality of Sanders!	I have had several of these sanders over the past 2 years and every one of them stopped working in one way or another after very little use. They were never dropped and always kept clean and yet they still seized up. I treated the last one like an egg and it still stopped working within 3 weeks. They obviously have a problem with dust, which is kind of bad for a sander. I would recommend the DeWalt version instead.	negative
0	Sucks	See my review of their live cd.And god, go easy on the caps lock, you poser punk band loving psycho.	negative
0	Lousy DVD from Disney	No problems with the film itself, I saw the theatrical release several years ago, and loved it. I refuse to buy the lame excuse for a DVD that Buena Vista has offered. When will the message get through? Serious films need the serious treatment on disc, especially if we are going to be gouged with Disney prices. The absence of anamorphic enhancement on this film is close to criminal in my eyes, and the rest of the shoddy package, right down to the boilerplate on the case, is an insult. Criterion did a Laser Disc of this film, and this DVD needs the Criterion treatment. Tell me I'm having a bad dream!!	negative
1	Excellent	This is an excellent sleep aid. Although my sleeep problem had not been fallng asleep, I find this CD helps me fall into a deeper sleep. Although I have experienced periods of wakefulness during the night, using this CD has meant that the wakefulness is far less. I went from 40-50% wakeful to 5-15% wakeful. It is very seldom now that I get out of bed during the night. Highly recommended.	positive
1	Good beginner's book with lots of detailed patterns	This book gives an overview of how to hook, the use of color and dyeing, and offers patterns in several styles, from primitive to traditional. It'sa great book for a rug hooker's collection. My first and second rugs are from this book! The only drawback is that the formulas for dyeing are a little brief.	positive
1	Black bodies radiating heat	One wonderful thing about human variety is that it brings so many different faces and figures to the word "beauty." Allen devotes this book to one range of that beauty, the one dominated by its African heritage. Even that, as these photos show, covers a fair range in itself.Many of these photos focus on the hair, the curves, the lovely faces, and other features that distinguish black beauty from the other kinds. The net effect, to my eye, does not set black beauty apart. Instead, these photos display the beauty common to women everywhere, with a few genetic highlights to remind the viewer just varied that can be. This brings an enjoyable and welcome complement to collections that often under-represent this branch of the human family.-- wiredweird	positive
1	outstanding read	This is among the finest first-hand accounts I have read.The author pulls you in and you almost live through these times with him. His strong anti-communist feelings shine though, it is obvious this book is written soon after the end of the war by his unbashfull, or unrepentant expressing of his feelings and thoughts. What a fortunate man to survive all he did!!And to firmly believe in saving Europe from Stalin and his ilk untill the itter end!	positive
0	Don't buy	Hard to use, batteries rattle around inside cutting power randomly. already broken by the time i got a chance to write this.	negative
0	Worked well..and then died	I was pleased with its initial operation. It worked well and seemed sturdy, even if the water refill was a bit of a hassle. But then it died after 3 weeks. Amazon is sending a replacement and I do hope that the second one has a longer operational life. I dont know if I just received a 'bad' machine or if these are just poorly manufactured.	negative
1	The Private and Public Life of Socrates	Rene Krauss is known for doing biographies on noted people. This was translated into English by Barrows Mussey.	positive
0	looking cool but that's about it	pros:it certainly looks very cool, it is light and easy to handle, not noisycons: expensive, but most importantly not a close shaver. I would rate my facial hair thickness as average and unfortunately i have not been able to get a close shave although i persisted using it hoping it would improve. The shave is not bad on the cheeks but it gets really bad on the chin and the neck. I will give it to my brother, hopefully it will work on him.	negative
1	Great for dogs big and small	This leash is a miracle. We are on our 3rd dog but have used a leash like this for our last 2 dogs. We have had a cocker spanel, lab and the one we have right know our little Max a Terrier Mix. The lab we got when she was a puppy and ended up giving her back because we were not redy for a dog. This leash has nots and is worn out but is still a great leash. Max loves to run he can out run our golfcart which can go up to 25 m.p.h.So as you can see this is a great leash.	positive
0	marketseller lost the order	unable to review the product since the order was never filled due to being lost . . . the first time this has ever happened.	negative
0	Unlikely to appear on the Book Snob*s list of great sequels	While the Rock Snob book was both an interesting encyclopedia and a witty critique of a sub-culture, this just seems like the employees' manual from a slightly above-average video store. It doesn't seem to get the cineastes, the gorehounds, or the fan-boys in it's scope. It just seems a MEDITATION ON the slightly off-beat with a nod toward the classic.It's probably this year's gift of choice for people you don't want to drop $30 on a Criterion DVD for. But they won't find it amusing.	negative
1	Its a good product at a good price	Everything its ok, just if you haven't notice its the henna it's not black, however still looks great	positive
1	Makes my mom cry EVERY TIME	This is a good movie that will make you laugh. It is about the stumbles of a man trying to claim the lottery winnings of someone else in his small town. It is a great story with lots of sub stories that make every step an adventure. It is funny to see everyone's interactions as them all try and pull their town together towards a single purpose. "The words spoken at a man's funeral are spoken too late for the man that is dead". Great movie in line with Boondock Saints, Donnie Darko. Don't let the old men scare you away.	positive
0	not as pictured	(This negative review is just about my experience buying this product not about the product itself.) The seat I received didn't have silver hinges. It was the covered plastic. However, out current seat was cracked, and I didn't want to have to wait for the return/reship. So, I asked amazon if they would give me a credit for keeping it. They ended up giving me $3 for keeping it, but for all I know this could be a $15 toilet seat:( I am usually very happy with all my amazon purchases, but I feel customer service could have done a little more. I am an amazon prime member so i got free shipping. I saved them more than the $3 in shipping just by not returning it. I was pretty disappointed.	negative
0	bobble head	This helmet is huge. You could have a head as big as Andre the Giant and still fit into this helmet. It makes my son (5.5 yrs, normal size) look like a bobble head. It is so big and clunky that he takes if off after half a minute. He does not play with it at all. We bought it for a Halloween costume (with the white astronaut suit) and the suit is really cute and realistic, but this helmet is definitely not. You can't even hear the sounds unless you are wearing the helmet, so the blastoff can only be enjoyed by the wearer. And that is the only sound, just a countdown and blastoff. No mission control stuff and anything else. Plus the flipping visor comes off a lot. My son has a great imagination and had more fun with a helmet we made from a box (before we bought the helmet) than he did with this helmet. Wish I hadn't bought it, but could not return it after I had opened it.	negative
0	Dangerous junk - caught fire	*** Updated review: this worked great for about a month of casual use, then my coworkers noticed a burning plastic smell and we scurried around the office trying to find out where it was coming from. It was this little piece of junk. It was melting, catching fire. Buyer beware. Works for awhile but it's not the original manufactured product, it's a cheap replacement. DANGEROUS to leave on unattended.--- Original review --Inexpensive, fast free shipping. I had healthy skepticism but I trusted the other reviewers. I lost the cord for my Nikon and this works perfectly.	negative
1	This is a graduate-level academic text	This is one of at least three books you need if you are doing academic research on intrusion detection. This book is a graduate-level text with theory and references. The second book you will need isIntrusion Detection (MTP)which also contains theory and references, but from a different angle. The third book you will need isNetwork Intrusion Detection (3rd Edition) (Voices (New Riders))which explains how to actually practice intrusion detection, but without unnecessary theory and references. If you are non-academic, then the third book is the one for you.	positive
1	Encouraging and Light	This easy-to-breeze-through, lively book was quite uplifting and a fun read -- a quick burst of encouragement for those moments when you just feel like you're not getting anywhere -- and then are reminded of all the NOW famous people who took circuitous routes to get there or who suffered all kinds of wacky failures behind the scenes while on their way up. I found it really helpful to reflect on these for a moment, to put things in perspective. A light and easy little book with more gumption and spirituality and motivational force than might appear at first. A quick pick-me-up and a good gift.	positive
1	This book is simply incredible	Every body must read this book; it has everything a man or a couple is looking either to improve their sex life or their life as a whole. If you think you know how to make love to your partner, then dare to read this book!Thanks to Mantak and Douglas!	positive
1	Nike + running system	Great idea, could be a little more user friendly. I've heard bad things about battery life, time will tell if this is true. So far, so good.	positive
1	Great for Crepes, Even Better for Omelettes!	I began using this crepe pan for omelettes at my friend's place as this was his only available pan during his kitchen renovation. I've never used a pan that makes such beautiful, tender and evenly cooked eggs. The flat bottom and even heat distribution make the difference. I've found the nonstick surface has such excellent release that it even works with NO OIL if you happen to be on a fat restrictive diet.I do preheat it for a while and use it on low heat, which takes a bit longer than what you'd normally expect with most pans that recommend cooking eggs on med/high. The slightly longer wait is worth it!Unfortunately Calphalon has discontinued this item, but it's still available through Amazon.com. I've already purchased two (if you're cooking for a few people it's nice to be able to make more than one omelette/crepe at once), and plan to buy a few more as gifts as the price is amazing.	positive
0	this book is beyond painful	this book wont just make you cry it will f@#k you up for life!it is easily the saddest book i was ever forced to read in school.our teacher was in teers when she read it aloud.unless you like having youre heart ripped out and sromped upon,just skip this one.	negative
1	Annoyingly Good	I saw this book and wanted to hate it. Being a choose your own adventure freak, it scared me...But I read it anyway and it's freakin' funny. Definately recommend it.	positive
1	Good product, so far I am very pleased	The product is as described, you could place two beach chairs inside and sit for shade. I really like how it has the option to have the mesh part only in the back. Putting it up is not too difficult. But putting it back in the travel bag is tough. Good value.	positive
0	Beware - pulp very wet / smell of burning wires after 2 weeks of use	After using this juicer for 2 week, for 3 days in a row, there was a smell of burning wires - no smoke. The juicer is still working fine, and the smell has since stopped. It makes me wonder just how long the motor will last. I never over load it, and actually go slow to try and extract as much juice as possible. The pulp is very wet, so I know I am loosing alot of good juice. The design is very good, but the strainer is a little small, as you can really only get one cup of juice before needing to clean. Cleanup is simple. That is what I was looking for. I would recommend something different, if you want more juice out of your fruits and veggies.	negative
1	Runs on Linux!	Appears to run great on Linux Wine (Google it). Runs full screen - not all games will do so (like Jumpstart Toddlers which runs fine, but won't switch to fullscreen). My three year old loves it, though 3 may be a little young for this game. 5 stars, given that you can get very cheap. Also, it will run on very old computers. (Even if they are running Linux)	positive
1	Product as expected & fast delivery	This product was exactly as described and came within 1 day after ordering	positive
1	Everyone claps for success, especially here!	Once in a while a book comes along that has the ability to inspire children about how to take on a challenge and succeed in the world. Years from now we will see how many kids were influenced by this book aimed at developing their imagination. THE BOY, THE KING AND THE CHIHUAHUA with its bonus pages that include academic worksheets, are an easy-to-hold tool that will help future generations. It uses dynamic illustrations that come to life through cheering participation and simple enough terms for all to understand. With melodically rhythmic undertones as THE BOY, THE KING AND THE CHIHUAHUA is read out aloud, along with a strong message heard loud and clear, this book should join the classics.	positive
1	FIRE	Better than Bow Down. Really good.1. A Threat To The World- Intro.2. Call 9-1-1- not bad. 3/53. Poetential Victims- pretty good. 3.5/54. Gangsta Nation F/ Nate Dogg- 1st single. best song on the cd. 5/55. Get Ignit- Crazy song. 4.5/56. Pimp the System F/ Butch Cassidy- Butch blesses this hook. 4/57. Dont Get Outta Pocket F/ K-Mac- 12 verses on this track. 4/58. Izm- pretty good. Not as good as previous tracks. 3/59. So Many Rappers In Love- Dissin R & B dudes. 4/510. Lights Out F/ Knoc-Turn'Al- Knoc-Turn'Al blesses this hook. 5/511. Bangin At The Party F/ The Hood- not bad. 3/512. You Gotta Have Heart- ok track. 3.5/513. Terrorist Threats- worst song on the cd. 1.5/514. Superstar- ok song. 3/5	positive
0	Nickel and Dimed?	This book will give you a look at a couple different aspects of low wage workers. In Barbara Ehrenreich's study, she works many different jobs in many different regions throughout the United States to show how low wage workers get treated in todays world. Throughout her experiences she documents all of her own and her fellow workers experiences.On the other hand, if you can manage listening to her complain about working this hard low income jobs, you learn that she only works for month at a time and hear her talk about how bad she is living. I believe you will really enjoy this book.	negative
1	The Best	I liked that one song "People are Strange" because it was dark and I like anything dark. (Except Chocolate)	positive
1	Plug replacement Nissan Pathfinder	It was an exact replacement and worked perfectly. I put a little no-seize on the threads, and carefully tightened it to specs.	positive
0	Bookcase	The first order went missing during transit. I had to request a replacement order. I should have just cancelled the order. The quality of this product is terrible. The wood stain has streaks and areas where it is not smooth. Very poor workmanship. The screws are too big for the holes. I was unable to assemble this myself because I was not strong enough to make them fit into the existing holes. I usually am able to do all my own assembly of products that I purchase. It is highly unlikely that I would buy another product from this manufacturer.	negative
0	Didn't last a year	I work as a graphic designer and web developer and I am at my computer most of the day. This particular wrist rest was working just fine until it inexplicably ruptured and the greasy, snotty goo started coming out of the crimped edge near my left hand. Now it's going in the garbage. Shame, too, it was comfy while it lasted.	negative
0	DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!! IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!	this book is all in .asm format, while sprinkled with c++. if you dont know asm, dont waste your time! you can program it 10 times better in c++. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. he just gives you examples, and leaves it to you to figure it out.	negative
1	dark, edgy, a favorite of mine	I recall when this film first came out (1985)and I marveled at it's interpretation of Lewis Carroll's muse, the dreamchild Alice Liddell. The actors chosen were brilliant and the marriage between Henson's creatures and the film's actors a risk worth taking. I miss the 1933 film Looking Glass Movie and wish there were more magical escapades such as this. This movie answers no questions and revives the imagination. I loved it. Too bad they had to tether it all together with the trite 1930's characters. They really weren't given the dialog needed to fully realize their parts I fear. Pity. However, the movie survived even those lulls brilliantly.	positive
1	Wonderful book!	My four year old really enjoys reading this book as do I. The words are as appealing and beautiful as the illustrations. It was a Thanksgiving gift, but we continue to read it year round, to remind us of all we have to be thankful for. It is a wonderful book and a great gift!	positive
0	From the sample, this one is useless.	Based on a warning on a similar pd dictionary, I downloaded the sample. Is useless. The Spanish characters read as gibberish. So seems useless. Anyone know a good Spanish/English/Spanish dictionary (particularly one that works on the iphone)?	negative
0	boring	After reading 100 pages and being bored to tears, I glanced through this book and found that it continued in the same dull vein. The events in this book HAD to be interesting, but they were overloaded with such detail and lack of feeling that they became excruciatingly dull. The characters were not developed so that I cared about any of them. I waited and waited for something to engage me with some personal or dramatic effect but the novel just runs on without pause to another non-involving encounter with ever-newer characters. Forget about it.	negative
0	Stupid is Right !!!!	Yes, I feel stupid for wasting my money on this book. I had heard it was a witty, intelligent, "good read". Then again, I've heard that about most fairy tales. More hype and style than substance.	negative
1	Great Album.	I'm not sure what the one dude was talking about in regards to this album being boring. He obviously has not listened to much music. Especially alot of NuMetal bands that have been coming out in the past year or two. These guys are great live, saw them with Static-X, and their CD is just as good. The lead singer has a very powerful voice and great range. Many new bands don't have any range and suck all together. These guys are definitely one to consider ahead of all the recent ones that have come out.	positive
1	touching	A Tree Grows in Brooklyn , is a very touching novel. It takes place in the 1920's and tells what life is like growing up back then , with all of the obstacles that come along the way. Francis is the main character of the book who grows up along with the trees in Brooklyn.She grows up in a poor family and struggles to fit in and find friends however, that does not bring her down. Francis is still a very happy and cheerful person regardless of what other people may try to tell her. She loves to read and since she doesn't have many friends, she feels and makes her books her friends. When Betty Smith wrote this book, she looked back on her life and the experiences she had, and put some of them in her book. It is written not only for teenagers or adults, but anyone who wants to read about the thrill of growing up. If you miss A Tree Grows In Brooklyn you are missing a truly great novel.	positive
0	(...)	With the exception of perhaps 3 songs this CD has to be one of the worst Twiztid CD's I'v ever heard. The Intro does an excellent job on hyping up the listener but as soon as the 2nd track kicks in your just about ready to fast foward to the next track in hope that it'll get better from there. As far as I'm concerned the only Twiztid CD worth spending the money on is Mostasteless and perhaps both Cryptic Collections, The rest are complete and utter (...).	negative
1	Couldn't put it down	I love historical fiction so I could not put this book down! I was actually getting a little sad when I knew I was nearing the end.The Historian was the kind of book where you want to visit every place the author describes.I found myself googling images of Lake Vlad, Budapest, Istanbul...The book is lengthy, so if you're looking for a quick read, you might want to bypass this one.	positive
0	garbage	Just like 90% of the other reviewers, my unit worked fine for just over a year of light use (ie. for the term of the warrantee) before the audio failed. You get what you pay for, I guess.	negative
0	Limited features and poor timepiece	I bought this watch hoping for a quality watch. Although I like its plain look (don't like any gold trim), it is not actually a good watch. Unlike a Seiko I have that was cheaper, it does not have a power reserve, so if you take the watch off overnight, it will stop. The Seiko will "remember" the time, even if the hands no longer turn, and once shaken, it will automatically move the hands to the correct time.The Mido also does not keep accurate time. It loses about 2 minutes each week. I don't think that is acceptable in a watch at this price. I don't recommend it.	negative
1	son loves it	the product was received in a timely manner. My son just loves the movie and cant get enough of Scooby Doo.	positive
0	Very Biased	Again, Jeffrey Toobin shows himself as a writer who CANNOT be objective. In a previous book he wrote that I thoroughly enjoyed, "The Run Of His Life", Toobin only sees racist black people cheering "GO OJ GO" during the freeway chase and not the many whites cheering along with them. In this book, Al Gore and the Democrats are good hearted, bi-partisan, non-combative, innocent victims being cheated by the legal system against the evil and corrupt George Bush and the Republicans. If Al Gore wrote a book on the 2000 election he would be more objective than this guy.	negative
0	NOT a hardback as listed!	This book is listed as a hardcover but it is actually a BOARDBOOK, (every single page is made of cardboard.) This version is for a toddler. It is not what it says it is!	negative
0	Do Not purchase for the LG CU500!	I bought two of these for my LG CU500 phones. The phone will not read the cards. From what I hear the only safe bet for the CU500 is the SanDisk.	negative
1	absolute classic of an absolute classic	'Nuff said.... An amazing combination of unreal writing (Dark Side of the Moon, the original) and screamingly perfect cutting-edge reggae. Creative mixes, great vocals..... One of the best reggae albums ever.Check out their version of the 'alarm-clocks' at the beginning of Time....This has become a 'desert island classic' for me, after just one listen.	positive
0	Cuisinart TOB-30 not good	Just after warranty, the toaster function stopped working. On a search, this seems to be a common problem.	negative
0	Easy to hook up, but unusable due to audio problems!	Hooked up without a hitch to my Lenovo T61 laptop. Sounded great at first, but then the problems started. The audio slows down and speeds up! Enough as to make it very annoying and essentially unusable, as it changes the pitch of the whole song. This is inexcusable for an audio product! Hopefully the seller will allow me to return the item.	negative
1	The Best Ever Collection of my Favorite Songs!!!!	This is worth the money and worth to listen to. Nobody comes close when it comes to his music. All the songs are cool and some change a bit. If you want to listen to his greatest songs ever I recommend you buy this for that special person. I bought it for that special reason and every one should because 4:40 Rules Baby.!!!!!You should listen to all of them espically song#1 on the second CD/Tape because that my favorite of all time and always will be.	positive
0	Terrible sound on the radio!	Very disappointing sound quality. It is difficult to tune the radio, and many stations barely come in. But, at least it looks good- oh wait thats not the most important quality in a radio! Its cute and compact and cd's plat clearly.	negative
0	So dissappointed	This product is EXACTLY what we needed ... easy to see and hard to lose. Unfortunately, even after we 'taught' it to turn on and off three of our four components, that's all it would do. Channel changing, menu selections, any other functions ... all were unsuccessful and often did some other entirely different function.fourth never learned.	negative
0	IT SUCKS! LIES AND NO TRUTHS	GOD I HATE THIS MOVIE!AND THIS SO CALLED HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR, ONLYHOLLYWOOD WOULD GIVE THIS CLOWN AN AWARD FOR WHAT? LIES AND NONSENSE . DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS BOMB!WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY? ARE PEOPLE REALLY THAT STUPID TO BELIEVE THIS NUT! I GUESS YOU ARE.	negative
1	Made me want to ensure I had a close relationship with God	After reading this book, I was trying to tell everybody that they needed to get their life right with God. This is no joke. I wouln't want to be here when this story becomes real life. It is a great, easy read.	positive
1	The Who retrospective on ONE disc?	A retrospective of the Who's career on a single disc. Not necessarily your favorites or my favorites but a summary of their most successful material. The Who needs at least 2 CDs to adequately summarize their career. Also, I agree with some of the other reviewers that the newer remastering does not have the same punch as my old LPs. Perhaps this was due to some deterioration of the masters over the past 35 years. I don't think they used the original masters for the Shel Talmy material. All in all, an okay CD for first time buyers or people who want sme of the major songs on a single CD.	positive
1	Just what i Expected	Looks goodMy dog can escape from almost anything. So far so good, but she has started to chew the interior area near the door.. otherwise very happy with it.Color as expected.Size works well	positive

1	It is an guide to all freshhwater aquarium fishes	This book is an idea for any person looking for an ulimate guide to freshwater fishes. Over 7,800 photos makes it an 5 stars plus book.

It just about covers every little species of freshwater any hoppyists is exexted to see.	positive
0	DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!	HP might know how to make a computer but they CANNOT make a camera that is worth buying. Camera has never taken great pictures and 5 months after the warranty ran out, the camera quit. It turns on for a second, shows an E106 error message, and shuts down. In doing some checking this means the lens is stuck. HP Support was horrible and stated it could take up to $200 to fix it!!! What??? The camera is not worth it. It eats batteries and no matter how much you customize the options, the picture color/quality is never true to life. I will buy a DEPENDABLE name brand (Canon) next time!	negative
1	Very informative but where are the Maps?	I found this book to be very rewarding and interesting, but not without fault. I found the lack of maps (or the absence of a map with more of the placenames mentioned) in the book to be very annoying - and I confess I got geographically lost at some points. I found the book very well researched and some of the stories and anecdotes very entertaining. In fact, I wished that there could have been room for more traveller's stories within the book. I must say that I got a bit disorientated in the middel of the book but it came together well. The additon of many photographs (rare in a book of this type) was a fantasic bonus and really added to the enjoyment of the book. Overall a highly entertaining and educational book but would have been so much better with the addition of more detailed maps.	positive
1	Colorful and Helpful in Times of Strezzzz!	After buying several other computer books about Window 95 and 98, I was greatful to stumble across this book. MS Windows is great in many ways, but frankly I am having more than my share of problems understanding this whole system. This book takes me by the hand and gently walks me through a number of tasks that would otherwise leave me a bit baffled. I don't recommend it as the only book; Windows 98 for Dummies has been a good companion, but this book is long on colorful pictures that, imagine that, look just like my computer screen. The pictures tell the story and text is limited to just the facts you need to click the mouse and move on. If you recently purchased Windows 98 and have questions, I recommend this book.	positive
1	Surprising good quality!	I was surprised at the quality of this costume. Not only did it easily fit my 6'02" frame, it didn't look too cheesy. The sponsors on the racing suit and the hat were cheesy however and that is why I gave it only 4 stars.	positive

1	Feel good party rock!	These guys rock! They sound like they were drunk when they recorded this record. They're even better live. Lots of mistakes and equipment problems. They usually yell at each other, too. Their crowd is rowdy and hurls insults at everyone in sight. Jonny Chan thinks he's the leader but the real secret weapon is their bass player Tommy Jade. I think Jonny is secretly jealous of him. If you like Foghat, you'll love the Dynasty.	positive
0	Competent at best, inaccurate at worse...	Whoever this Gary Gagliardi is, his mastery of the Chinese language leaves much to be desired; looking at his credentials, it sounds suspiciously as if he missed out mentioning one thing...hmmm, does he know Chinese? For one thing, translating the beautifully laconic ancient Chinese into brash staccato lines of poetry simply does not work; worse is his frequent mistranslations -- the character "ye" is often translated as "also", when it simply means "period" in an age where punctuation wasn't invented yet and ideogram characters are still used for sentence closure. Sun-Tzu here comes across as a livid boy scout master trying to rigorously hammer platitudes into our minds. There is this sneaking feeling that much of these "translations" are done using a computer software. Try Ames for a more accurate version. I'm very hard pushed to recommend this edition.	negative
1	Very happy with the SleepRight Night Guard	I have used this brand for well over a year now and have found it to be very durable.I've read bad reviews of this product, but it has worked wonderfully for me.It is much better for me than the ones you have to boil and mold. I used those kinds for several years before finding this one.Those boil to fit types are much more bulky and not as comfortable as this night guard.Even though I think this product could possibly use a bit of tweaking in the front to fit my gum area better, it is so much nicer than the others that I can't really complain.I would highly recommend that anyone with a night grinding problem at least give this a try. It is a bit more expensive, but well worth it! I can even talk to my husband with it in, which I could never do with the other type!	positive

1	Gilmour 10 Series Flexogen Hose	I have several fairly expensive more commercial grade 5/8-inch garden hoses of various lengths which I have used for years. They are very durable and flexible, but quite heavy. I am in the process of scrubbing out and washing my gutters on the house and decided I needed a lighter weight and more manuverable hose. So I chose this better quality 1/2" Gilmour hose in 50-foot length to carry up the ladder to the second story of our house. It's much more handy, lightweight, and seems fairly kink resistant compared to my other hoses. It also seems to approach nearly the same water pressure as my big heavy 5/8-inch hoses without all the heavy tugging around. I am very glad that I decided to buy this hose which has made my job much easier and will surely become more of an every-day general-use hose in the future. If you have similar requirements for a water hose, I believe you won't be disappointed buying this particular one.	positive

disappointing and childish

I bought this book hoping to find an intelligent defense of faith, given that the author is such a well respected fiction writer. Unfortunately, what I found were the kinds of arguments that I used while in grade school and discarded soon thereafter. If you've thought critically about anything at any point in your life, you're not going to get anything out of this book.

Uninteresting!

This book contains some appreciable and actual facts about stock market. But that's about it. In any reasonable mind, technical analysis in stock market is like astrology. In three words: useless, boring, and complicated. So don't waste your time and money on this book.This book is so boring and complicated than I never finnished it. The reality in stock market is a lot different. If you want to succeed: Keep it simple! Buy stocks from excellent companies at their low and hold on. It's that simple!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

Am I the only one who notices that Linkin Park have 5 C.D.'s out, and out of those 5, only two are studio albums? Both of those studio albums went multi-platinum, but that's not enough for these kids. They have to make a remix album, a live album, and another remix album (as if the first one weren't bad enough!) I don't know about you, but where I come from, we call that an S-E-L-L O-U-T!

What a Struggle

This book was a real struggle to read. The authors thank their editor for helping to combine the writing of a Canadian and an Englishman, but as an American, I kept tripping over the excessive use of commas. Coupled with numerous typos, it was very hard to complete this book. While the authors disagree with Baigent and Leigh, I will credit the latter with providing footnotes, a more complete bibliography, and an index, all of which are missing from this book. This leaves me without much to pursue further. The real disappointment is the realization that this book is really only a part 1 of a story and all of the promises made to reveal things are left to the next book. I gave it the second star only because there actually are some original ideas presented here. Too bad the only way to continue to research their ideas is to take them on faith or wait for their next book. I hope they change editors before then and give us the benefit of some real references.

Beware of Blogging Addiction

Okay, I was skeptical. I hate "livejournals" and the like. Some things are not meant for mass consumption, if you ask me. Luckily, Biz didn't. After reading the first few chapters, I was hooked. I couldn't wait to finish reading it, so I was starting my own blog with the book propped open.All my questions were answered with ease and a bit of humor. Now that I've gotten started, I'll be referencing chapters like "Better Blogging" and "Adding Dynamic Features" to improve my site.This book is a must-have for anyone with a weblog.

Where's the Popmart In Mexico City DVD?

This is the second DVD from the Elevation Tour, with mostly redundant setlists from the Boston DVD.The music and sound quality are superb, but the camera work is the typical MTV-style flashy, fast-cut-jumble where nothing stays in place for more than one second (just like the Boston DVD). If that type of editting annoys you, be prepared for lots of it, including extremely grating close-ups of Bono's face during one song I can't remember, due to dizziness and eye-strain, this video is mostly a visual blur.A wiser decision would have been to release this show as a limited collector's item for the U2 Fanclub, and release the visually superior and more musically inspiring "Popmart From Mexico City" finally on DVD instead.5 stars for the musical content, 0 stars for the editting and camera work.

Porter Cable Needs to Improve Quality of Sanders!

I have had several of these sanders over the past 2 years and every one of them stopped working in one way or another after very little use. They were never dropped and always kept clean and yet they still seized up. I treated the last one like an egg and it still stopped working within 3 weeks. They obviously have a problem with dust, which is kind of bad for a sander. I would recommend the DeWalt version instead.

Lousy DVD from Disney

No problems with the film itself, I saw the theatrical release several years ago, and loved it. I refuse to buy the lame excuse for a DVD that Buena Vista has offered. When will the message get through? Serious films need the serious treatment on disc, especially if we are going to be gouged with Disney prices. The absence of anamorphic enhancement on this film is close to criminal in my eyes, and the rest of the shoddy package, right down to the boilerplate on the case, is an insult. Criterion did a Laser Disc of this film, and this DVD needs the Criterion treatment. Tell me I'm having a bad dream!!

This is an excellent sleep aid. Although my sleeep problem had not been fallng asleep, I find this CD helps me fall into a deeper sleep. Although I have experienced periods of wakefulness during the night, using this CD has meant that the wakefulness is far less. I went from 40-50% wakeful to 5-15% wakeful. It is very seldom now that I get out of bed during the night. Highly recommended.

This book gives an overview of how to hook, the use of color and dyeing, and offers patterns in several styles, from primitive to traditional. It'sa great book for a rug hooker's collection. My first and second rugs are from this book! The only drawback is that the formulas for dyeing are a little brief.

Black bodies radiating heat

One wonderful thing about human variety is that it brings so many different faces and figures to the word "beauty." Allen devotes this book to one range of that beauty, the one dominated by its African heritage. Even that, as these photos show, covers a fair range in itself.Many of these photos focus on the hair, the curves, the lovely faces, and other features that distinguish black beauty from the other kinds. The net effect, to my eye, does not set black beauty apart. Instead, these photos display the beauty common to women everywhere, with a few genetic highlights to remind the viewer just varied that can be. This brings an enjoyable and welcome complement to collections that often under-represent this branch of the human family.-- wiredweird

This is among the finest first-hand accounts I have read.The author pulls you in and you almost live through these times with him. His strong anti-communist feelings shine though, it is obvious this book is written soon after the end of the war by his unbashfull, or unrepentant expressing of his feelings and thoughts. What a fortunate man to survive all he did!!And to firmly believe in saving Europe from Stalin and his ilk untill the itter end!

I was pleased with its initial operation. It worked well and seemed sturdy, even if the water refill was a bit of a hassle. But then it died after 3 weeks.

The lab we got when she was a puppy and ended up giving her back because we were not redy for a dog. This leash has nots and is worn out but is still a great leash. Max loves to run he can out run our golfcart which can go up to 25 m.p.h.So as you can see this is a great leash.

Unlikely to appear on the Book Snob*s list of great sequels

While the Rock Snob book was both an interesting encyclopedia and a witty critique of a sub-culture, this just seems like the employees' manual from a slightly above-average video store. It doesn't seem to get the cineastes, the gorehounds, or the fan-boys in it's scope. It just seems a MEDITATION ON the slightly off-beat with a nod toward the classic.It's probably this year's gift of choice for people you don't want to drop $30 on a Criterion DVD for. But they won't find it amusing.

Makes my mom cry EVERY TIME

This is a good movie that will make you laugh. It is about the stumbles of a man trying to claim the lottery winnings of someone else in his small town. It is a great story with lots of sub stories that make every step an adventure. It is funny to see everyone's interactions as them all try and pull their town together towards a single purpose. "The words spoken at a man's funeral are spoken too late for the man that is dead". Great movie in line with Boondock Saints, Donnie Darko. Don't let the old men scare you away.

(This negative review is just about my experience buying this product not about the product itself.) The seat I received didn't have silver hinges. It was the covered plastic. However, out current seat was cracked, and I didn't want to have to wait for the return/reship. So, I asked amazon if they would give me a credit for keeping it. They ended up giving me $3 for keeping it, but for all I know this could be a $15 toilet seat:( I am usually very happy with all my amazon purchases, but I feel customer service could have done a little more. I am an amazon prime member so i got free shipping. I saved them more than the $3 in shipping just by not returning it. I was pretty disappointed.

bobble head

This helmet is huge. You could have a head as big as Andre the Giant and still fit into this helmet. It makes my son (5.5 yrs, normal size) look like a bobble head. It is so big and clunky that he takes if off after half a minute. He does not play with it at all. We bought it for a Halloween costume (with the white astronaut suit) and the suit is really cute and realistic, but this helmet is definitely not. You can't even hear the sounds unless you are wearing the helmet, so the blastoff can only be enjoyed by the wearer. And that is the only sound, just a countdown and blastoff. No mission control stuff and anything else. Plus the flipping visor comes off a lot. My son has a great imagination and had more fun with a helmet we made from a box (before we bought the helmet) than he did with this helmet. Wish I hadn't bought it, but could not return it after I had opened it.

Dangerous junk - caught fire

*** Updated review: this worked great for about a month of casual use, then my coworkers noticed a burning plastic smell and we scurried around the office trying to find out where it was coming from. It was this little piece of junk. It was melting, catching fire. Buyer beware. Works for awhile but it's not the original manufactured product, it's a cheap replacement. DANGEROUS to leave on unattended.--- Original review --Inexpensive, fast free shipping. I had healthy skepticism but I trusted the other reviewers. I lost the cord for my Nikon and this works perfectly.

This is a graduate-level academic text

This is one of at least three books you need if you are doing academic research on intrusion detection. This book is a graduate-level text with theory and references. The second book you will need isIntrusion Detection (MTP)which also contains theory and references, but from a different angle. The third book you will need isNetwork Intrusion Detection (3rd Edition) (Voices (New Riders))which explains how to actually practice intrusion detection, but without unnecessary theory and references. If you are non-academic, then the third book is the one for you.

Encouraging and Light

This easy-to-breeze-through, lively book was quite uplifting and a fun read -- a quick burst of encouragement for those moments when you just feel like you're not getting anywhere -- and then are reminded of all the NOW famous people who took circuitous routes to get there or who suffered all kinds of wacky failures behind the scenes while on their way up. I found it really helpful to reflect on these for a moment, to put things in perspective. A light and easy little book with more gumption and spirituality and motivational force than might appear at first. A quick pick-me-up and a good gift.

Great for Crepes, Even Better for Omelettes!

I began using this crepe pan for omelettes at my friend's place as this was his only available pan during his kitchen renovation. I've never used a pan that makes such beautiful, tender and evenly cooked eggs. The flat bottom and even heat distribution make the difference. I've found the nonstick surface has such excellent release that it even works with NO OIL if you happen to be on a fat restrictive diet.I do preheat it for a while and use it on low heat, which takes a bit longer than what you'd normally expect with most pans that recommend cooking eggs on med/high. The slightly longer wait is worth it!Unfortunately Calphalon has discontinued this item, but it's still available through Amazon.com. I've already purchased two (if you're cooking for a few people it's nice to be able to make more than one omelette/crepe at once), and plan to buy a few more as gifts as the price is amazing.

Beware - pulp very wet / smell of burning wires after 2 weeks of use

After using this juicer for 2 week, for 3 days in a row, there was a smell of burning wires - no smoke. The juicer is still working fine, and the smell has since stopped. It makes me wonder just how long the motor will last. I never over load it, and actually go slow to try and extract as much juice as possible. The pulp is very wet, so I know I am loosing alot of good juice. The design is very good, but the strainer is a little small, as you can really only get one cup of juice before needing to clean. Cleanup is simple. That is what I was looking for. I would recommend something different, if you want more juice out of your fruits and veggies.

Everyone claps for success, especially here!

Once in a while a book comes along that has the ability to inspire children about how to take on a challenge and succeed in the world. Years from now we will see how many kids were influenced by this book aimed at developing their imagination. THE BOY, THE KING AND THE CHIHUAHUA with its bonus pages that include academic worksheets, are an easy-to-hold tool that will help future generations. It uses dynamic illustrations that come to life through cheering participation and simple enough terms for all to understand. With melodically rhythmic undertones as THE BOY, THE KING AND THE CHIHUAHUA is read out aloud, along with a strong message heard loud and clear, this book should join the classics.

This book will give you a look at a couple different aspects of low wage workers. In Barbara Ehrenreich's study, she works many different jobs in many different regions throughout the United States to show how low wage workers get treated in todays world. Throughout her experiences she documents all of her own and her fellow workers experiences.On the other hand, if you can manage listening to her complain about working this hard low income jobs, you learn that she only works for month at a time and hear her talk about how bad she is living.

The wood stain has streaks and areas where it is not smooth. Very poor workmanship. The screws are too big for the holes.

This particular wrist rest was working just fine until it inexplicably ruptured and the greasy, snotty goo started coming out of the crimped edge near my left hand. Now it's going in the garbage. Shame, too, it was comfy while it lasted.

dark, edgy, a favorite of mine

I recall when this film first came out (1985)and I marveled at it's interpretation of Lewis Carroll's muse, the dreamchild Alice Liddell. The actors chosen were brilliant and the marriage between Henson's creatures and the film's actors a risk worth taking. I miss the 1933 film Looking Glass Movie and wish there were more magical escapades such as this. This movie answers no questions and revives the imagination. I loved it. Too bad they had to tether it all together with the trite 1930's characters. They really weren't given the dialog needed to fully realize their parts I fear. Pity. However, the movie survived even those lulls brilliantly.

Wonderful book!

My four year old really enjoys reading this book as do I. The words are as appealing and beautiful as the illustrations. It was a Thanksgiving gift, but we continue to read it year round, to remind us of all we have to be thankful for. It is a wonderful book and a great gift!

From the sample, this one is useless.

Based on a warning on a similar pd dictionary, I downloaded the sample. Is useless. The Spanish characters read as gibberish. So seems useless. Anyone know a good Spanish/English/Spanish dictionary (particularly one that works on the iphone)?

boring

After reading 100 pages and being bored to tears, I glanced through this book and found that it continued in the same dull vein. The events in this book HAD to be interesting, but they were overloaded with such detail and lack of feeling that they became excruciatingly dull. The characters were not developed so that I cared about any of them. I waited and waited for something to engage me with some personal or dramatic effect but the novel just runs on without pause to another non-involving encounter with ever-newer characters. Forget about it.

Stupid is Right !!!!

Yes, I feel stupid for wasting my money on this book. I had heard it was a witty, intelligent, "good read". Then again, I've heard that about most fairy tales. More hype and style than substance.

Great Album.

I'm not sure what the one dude was talking about in regards to this album being boring. He obviously has not listened to much music. Especially alot of NuMetal bands that have been coming out in the past year or two. These guys are great live, saw them with Static-X, and their CD is just as good. The lead singer has a very powerful voice and great range. Many new bands don't have any range and suck all together. These guys are definitely one to consider ahead of all the recent ones that have come out.

touching

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn , is a very touching novel. It takes place in the 1920's and tells what life is like growing up back then , with all of the obstacles that come along the way. Francis is the main character of the book who grows up along with the trees in Brooklyn.She grows up in a poor family and struggles to fit in and find friends however, that does not bring her down. Francis is still a very happy and cheerful person regardless of what other people may try to tell her. She loves to read and since she doesn't have many friends, she feels and makes her books her friends. When Betty Smith wrote this book, she looked back on her life and the experiences she had, and put some of them in her book. It is written not only for teenagers or adults, but anyone who wants to read about the thrill of growing up. If you miss A Tree Grows In Brooklyn you are missing a truly great novel.

(...)

With the exception of perhaps 3 songs this CD has to be one of the worst Twiztid CD's I'v ever heard. The Intro does an excellent job on hyping up the listener but as soon as the 2nd track kicks in your just about ready to fast foward to the next track in hope that it'll get better from there. As far as I'm concerned the only Twiztid CD worth spending the money on is Mostasteless and perhaps both Cryptic Collections, The rest are complete and utter (...).

Couldn't put it down

I love historical fiction so I could not put this book down! I was actually getting a little sad when I knew I was nearing the end.The Historian was the kind of book where you want to visit every place the author describes.I found myself googling images of Lake Vlad, Budapest, Istanbul...The book is lengthy, so if you're looking for a quick read, you might want to bypass this one.

Limited features and poor timepiece

I bought this watch hoping for a quality watch. Although I like its plain look (don't like any gold trim), it is not actually a good watch. Unlike a Seiko I have that was cheaper, it does not have a power reserve, so if you take the watch off overnight, it will stop. The Seiko will "remember" the time, even if the hands no longer turn, and once shaken, it will automatically move the hands to the correct time.The Mido also does not keep accurate time. It loses about 2 minutes each week. I don't think that is acceptable in a watch at this price. I don't recommend it.

Very Biased

Again, Jeffrey Toobin shows himself as a writer who CANNOT be objective. In a previous book he wrote that I thoroughly enjoyed, "The Run Of His Life", Toobin only sees racist black people cheering "GO OJ GO" during the freeway chase and not the many whites cheering along with them. In this book, Al Gore and the Democrats are good hearted, bi-partisan, non-combative, innocent victims being cheated by the legal system against the evil and corrupt George Bush and the Republicans. If Al Gore wrote a book on the 2000 election he would be more objective than this guy.

'Nuff said.... An amazing combination of unreal writing (Dark Side of the Moon, the original) and screamingly perfect cutting-edge reggae. Creative mixes, great vocals..... One of the best reggae albums ever.Check out their version of the 'alarm-clocks' at the beginning of Time....This has become a 'desert island classic' for me, after just one listen.

Easy to hook up, but unusable due to audio problems!

Hooked up without a hitch to my Lenovo T61 laptop. Sounded great at first, but then the problems started. The audio slows down and speeds up! Enough as to make it very annoying and essentially unusable, as it changes the pitch of the whole song. This is inexcusable for an audio product! Hopefully the seller will allow me to return the item.

This is worth the money and worth to listen to. Nobody comes close when it comes to his music. All the songs are cool and some change a bit. If you want to listen to his greatest songs ever I recommend you buy this for that special person.

This product is EXACTLY what we needed ... easy to see and hard to lose. Unfortunately, even after we 'taught' it to turn on and off three of our four components*, that's all it would do. Channel changing, menu selections, any other functions ... all were unsuccessful and often did some other entirely different function.*fourth never learned.

The Who retrospective on ONE disc?

A retrospective of the Who's career on a single disc. Not necessarily your favorites or my favorites but a summary of their most successful material. The Who needs at least 2 CDs to adequately summarize their career. Also, I agree with some of the other reviewers that the newer remastering does not have the same punch as my old LPs. Perhaps this was due to some deterioration of the masters over the past 35 years. I don't think they used the original masters for the Shel Talmy material. All in all, an okay CD for first time buyers or people who want sme of the major songs on a single CD.

DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!

HP might know how to make a computer but they CANNOT make a camera that is worth buying. Camera has never taken great pictures and 5 months after the warranty ran out, the camera quit. It turns on for a second, shows an E106 error message, and shuts down. In doing some checking this means the lens is stuck. HP Support was horrible and stated it could take up to $200 to fix it!!! What??? The camera is not worth it. It eats batteries and no matter how much you customize the options, the picture color/quality is never true to life. I will buy a DEPENDABLE name brand (Canon) next time!

Very informative but where are the Maps?

I found this book to be very rewarding and interesting, but not without fault. I found the lack of maps (or the absence of a map with more of the placenames mentioned) in the book to be very annoying - and I confess I got geographically lost at some points. I found the book very well researched and some of the stories and anecdotes very entertaining. In fact, I wished that there could have been room for more traveller's stories within the book. I must say that I got a bit disorientated in the middel of the book but it came together well. The additon of many photographs (rare in a book of this type) was a fantasic bonus and really added to the enjoyment of the book. Overall a highly entertaining and educational book but would have been so much better with the addition of more detailed maps.

Colorful and Helpful in Times of Strezzzz!

After buying several other computer books about Window 95 and 98, I was greatful to stumble across this book. MS Windows is great in many ways, but frankly I am having more than my share of problems understanding this whole system. This book takes me by the hand and gently walks me through a number of tasks that would otherwise leave me a bit baffled. I don't recommend it as the only book; Windows 98 for Dummies has been a good companion, but this book is long on colorful pictures that, imagine that, look just like my computer screen. The pictures tell the story and text is limited to just the facts you need to click the mouse and move on. If you recently purchased Windows 98 and have questions, I recommend this book.

Feel good party rock!

These guys rock! They sound like they were drunk when they recorded this record. They're even better live. Lots of mistakes and equipment problems. They usually yell at each other, too. Their crowd is rowdy and hurls insults at everyone in sight. Jonny Chan thinks he's the leader but the real secret weapon is their bass player Tommy Jade. I think Jonny is secretly jealous of him. If you like Foghat, you'll love the Dynasty.

Competent at best, inaccurate at worse...

Whoever this Gary Gagliardi is, his mastery of the Chinese language leaves much to be desired; looking at his credentials, it sounds suspiciously as if he missed out mentioning one thing...hmmm, does he *know* Chinese? For one thing, translating the beautifully laconic ancient Chinese into brash staccato lines of poetry simply does not work; worse is his frequent mistranslations -- the character "ye" is often translated as "also", when it simply means "period" in an age where punctuation wasn't invented yet and ideogram characters are still used for sentence closure. Sun-Tzu here comes across as a livid boy scout master trying to rigorously hammer platitudes into our minds. There is this sneaking feeling that much of these "translations" are done using a computer software. Try Ames for a more accurate version. I'm very hard pushed to recommend this edition.

Very happy with the SleepRight Night Guard

I have used this brand for well over a year now and have found it to be very durable.I've read bad reviews of this product, but it has worked wonderfully for me.It is much better for me than the ones you have to boil and mold. I used those kinds for several years before finding this one.Those boil to fit types are much more bulky and not as comfortable as this night guard.Even though I think this product could possibly use a bit of tweaking in the front to fit my gum area better, it is so much nicer than the others that I can't really complain.I would highly recommend that anyone with a night grinding problem at least give this a try. It is a bit more expensive, but well worth it! I can even talk to my husband with it in, which I could never do with the other type!

Gilmour 10 Series Flexogen Hose

I have several fairly expensive more commercial grade 5/8-inch garden hoses of various lengths which I have used for years. They are very durable and flexible, but quite heavy. I am in the process of scrubbing out and washing my gutters on the house and decided I needed a lighter weight and more manuverable hose. So I chose this better quality 1/2" Gilmour hose in 50-foot length to carry up the ladder to the second story of our house. It's much more handy, lightweight, and seems fairly kink resistant compared to my other hoses. It also seems to approach nearly the same water pressure as my big heavy 5/8-inch hoses without all the heavy tugging around. I am very glad that I decided to buy this hose which has made my job much easier and will surely become more of an every-day general-use hose in the future. If you have similar requirements for a water hose, I believe you won't be disappointed buying this particular one.
