1	I apologize to my vintage Craftsman tablesaw ....	I have been throwing various carbide combo blades at my saw for many years, not wanting to buy a blade just for just ripping... I take back all the saw cussing, WHAT A NICE BLADE...!! Worth every penny. I was just about to buy a new more powerfull [probably not as well built] tablesaw. All the time, it was operator problem.. :)	positive
0	HOW DO I CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION	I want to cancel before my 14 day free subscription is up. You have apparently hidden the cancelation option.I guess I will have to call to cancel. I thought it would have pictures and charts. It is not the same as reading the NYT on the internet. Please cancel my subscripti0n.	negative
1	Great and timely	I loved the movie it was Awesome. I love Tom Cruise. The movie got hear and a great amount of time.	positive
0	Spinning her wheels	I did not enjoy this book. In my opinion, all the author did was share a story which should have been kept to herself. Black women writers, need to share stories which convey strength of conviction and hope for the future. Ms Bandele gives us neither. I am not condemning the life that she chose but the fact that it has been made public. A well educated Black woman who became an editor at Essence, is someone that most young Black girls would aspire to emulate, and they should. Professional Black personalities in entertainment, sports, enterprising business, etc. should accept that whether or not they choose to be, they are role models for less fortunate children of the ghetto. If this story at any time had given the reader emotional fullfillment or at least a sense of better days to come it would be worth the time and paper on which it is printed. This story is one which starts out hopeless and ends the same way. What was the point?	negative
0	errr....DOESNT SUPPORT NT or 2000????	ok now, if they want me to play this game make it for 2000 alright because me/98 just plain ol' sucks and if you dont have 2000 you should get it. So someone tell EA to make alice for 2000.	negative
0	4 star average? Really?????	Really??? Its 100 pages of a guy gloating about his amazing achievement: Finding someone else's invention and claiming it as his own.	negative
0	Garbage	if zero was a choice I would pick that. the bag unzips on its own and my camera and lens crashed to the ground.	negative
1	Killing Floor	Jack Reacher roams from place to place and this time he's come to a small town in Georgia on a whim. He's eating breakfast when the town's finest blow in and arrest him for murder. It's a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a shocker for Jack when he discovers the identity of the guy he's supposed to have killed. People keep dying and it's becoming a blood bath. Jack sticks around to see justice done, but it's a scary ride all the way.	positive
0	2ND TIME WATCHING IT...it's still a lame TV movie at best	Sure, if you are a Stephen King fan, it sticks very closely to the book, but as a film experience it's DISMAL and bland.Danny is played by Courtland Mead. A child who can't act, and who has a mouth disfigurement which makes his upper lip reach toward his forehead!Webber is an OK actor at best.Kubrick's film is a classic masterpiece, and can never be equalled on any level--visuals, acting, set design...	negative
0	Disappointing	I give this collection of sonatas only two stars because the way they were recorded only allows two fifths of them to play on my Bose. I returned them once, received a quick replacement - the same. Most of them have to be played in the car. Also, I believe Barenboim plays some of the sonatas too fast - just because he can.	negative
1	Merritt Strikes Again	The best current pop songwriter has outdone himself with a full three disc set of tunes. Sure, you can throw out about 10 songs, but what you have left is simply astounding. The musical ground he covers here is immense, and nearly everything he tries connects. Easily the record of the year, and a must have for pop music fans.	positive
0	Disappointed	A few things I didn't see in the product description here are the poor compatibility with the older IPODs. e.g. my 20MB version.- The remote doesn't work properly on the older IPODs (only the volume and on/off buttons not the back/forward buttons etc.)- The older IPODs connect via a wire and balance on the system without "locking" properly into the system.- It doesn't charge the (older) IPOD as claimed.BTW - the instructions (as noted in the reviews by others) are just awful.Apart from that it's OK.	negative
1	Great Film (for those with open minds)	1.) It's interesting to note that some of the people who rated this film with 1-2 stars are pro-life, when this film is not entirely about abortion. The storyline presents us with romance, abortion, incest, and a boy on his journey to finding himself. It's a classic American story that touches on some issues, and yes, it does have a pro-choice theme. But, it does place a good argument on the table. Women who receive unsafe abortions will likely die, and many children are dumped into orphanages because they were not wanted. So, to those who are pro-life, I encourage you to give the film a chance. The best way to support your viewpoint is to know the argument of the opposition.2.) So this film presents some questionable situations.....that's entertainment! Life isn't peachy, fair, or the way you want it to be...why not have films represent this??3.) This movie is in my top ten favorite, if not #1! Just give it a chance....if you dare to have an open mind!	positive
0	BAD SNOWBEAST DVD	The product was purchased a long ways back, and I truly disapproveof this specific dvd of Snowbeast. It has bad quality on the vergeof terrible along with horrible sound quality. This dvd's Audio/Soundwas so dissappointing that I asked my son to purchase me a Blu Ray playerand a surround sound system for better audio/video, but to my dimise thisdidn't help, so I purchased Snowbeast somewhere else.	negative
0	Rip Off!	Unfortunately, I purchased this set at Borders before checking the reviews here. I totaly agree with all the negative points other reviewers have noted and couldn't say much more about how dissapointed you will be if you waste your time with this set. It STINKS!	negative
1	EA Big IS definetly Big	Compared to NBA Live, by EA sports, NBA Street is much, much better. the fact that the best way to score is dunking rocks, and with custom players and a team with MJ, Iverson, and Shaq, how can you lose. the best part is every team you beat, you get a player from the team, like Mourning, Carter, Bryant, Duncan, and Garnet. This is the best NBA game I've ever played.	positive
0	IT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT SPYING	This is not an espionage thriller as the cover and title of this book would have you beleive. The vast majority of the content in this book is about how two people working in the CIA fall in love with each other and how they are so excited being around one another. I for one, and i think most people would agree, think that someone who would buy this book would be interested in the CIA and the history of the cold war. This book has nearly nothing to do with either of those subjects! Their are some good parts to this book but they are overshadowed by a love story. This book would be better catogorized as a romance novel!	negative
0	him	same music different cd cover as usual..love HIM, sick of the same songs..so I just stopped listening or buying them all together	negative
0	Horrible teenybopper fluff	"Demon In My View" (the title is lifted from Poe's poem "Alone")contains nothing of redeeming value, or any serious literary merit. I think any 6-yr old could produce better art while half-asleep. The story is trite, confused, slow, and stereotypical. The editor should be immediately fired for letting this into the market. The annoying social consciousness, laughable teenage "angst," and downright idiocy will appeal to the "Dawsons Creek" crowd I am sure, but this is not for me, or any other discerning and intelligent reader.	negative
0	Didn't Make Me Lose My Head	Aside from a quick breast shot, and the occasional "bad" word, this movie seemed to be made for ABC Family. If I was 13, I would've fully enjoyed this film. As an adult,it was kind of lackluster. The storyline was a bit rushed and unrealistic. (even for a horror film) Nick Carter is hot as hell, but he needs some acting classes. Kevin Zegers and Stacy Keach's characters are the only two worth mentioning. Judge Reinhold's performance was just plain embarrassing. I did like the setting of the film. It took me back to when I was a teen. I will say, it wasn't boring. It did keep me entertained, but I was VERY disappointed with the overall storyline.	negative
0	Do not buy this product for the Super Nintendo	Unfortunately for me, I thought this would be a actual SNES AC Adaptor, however it is a 3-in-1 that leads to horrible color distortion when using it for the SNES. Large bars of incorrect hue slowly cycle down the screen which for me renders the games unplayable.	negative
1	A feast for the ears	I have had this album, yes the hard vynl thing, since 1981. Now we can get these great works of art right on our pcs. My favorite as always been Bouree. I think this is one of the neatest pieces ever written. I love the images it invokes. Strap those head phones on and be transported into the romance of dancers in veils and moonlit desert nights.	positive
0	Really tiring	Is it possible for any african-american to write anything otherthen about being an african-american? Or stories about futureafro-americans and how they have always and will always betreated in what they have been programmed to believe is lessthen they deserve? I thought this book was science fiction.It isn't - it's another infinite lamentation about how bad the black man has it, in the beginning, now and forever. Frankly,if I ever read a book written by an afro-american that isn't racerelated I will bronze the book.	negative
0	crappy	I bought these for stocking stuffers last year. they are really cheapo and terribly made. Ours lasted about three months before the LCD started to fade. changed the battery and now they don't work at all.	negative
1	LIVING OFF THE LAND WITH CARLA'S BOOK	In the 70's my husband and I bought a five acre mini farm and I decided to live off the land as much as possible. As our oldest child had many food allergies, we purchased some goats for milking, sheep for shearing, chickens for meat and eggs, a young steer for fattening and gardened as much as of the land as possible. As a city girl, Carla's book helped me through it all.....I have the fondest memories of reaching for her book almost daily. Her family stories made it come to life and I know now, with Carla's help, if I had to totally live off the land, I could do it.....with her book by my side! I will be forever indebted to her for taking the time to write such a thorough Encyclopedia of Wealth!!!	positive
1	A bit let down	I recieved the movie a week ago was really looking foward to watching it. After reading the reviews i thought it would be really exciting, but i was a bit let down. The creatures were not shown until almost the very end. And then they were really kind of cheap looking. But to be fair the movie was entertaining, for an old sci-fi.	positive
0	Worked Great, For 10 months....	After doing the yoga positions to get this into place it worked fine and fit perfectly. However, here I am 10 months later looking to replace the exact same part again and really not looking forward to stuffing myself under the passanger dashboard again.... I'll be buying a different brand part this time in the hopes that it will last at least a year.	negative
0	Can't believe there are good reviews	After reading the good reviews we purchased this popper. WOW!! WAS THIS A DISAPPOINTMENT. The papers last maybe 4 times (if we're lucky) Forget using oil, spray etc of any sort. The papers are good for one time only. We have used several different brands of popcorn including the recommended one. And nothing makes a difference. We bought the unit at Wal-Mart and when we go back to buy more papers we find out they don't handle the paper for the popper. So if we want to continue to use it we have to order and pay a shipping cost. It's not worth the money or the bother. As far as the popcorn it pops fast and sometime it taste OK and sometime not. You would think they would come up with something better then paper liners or at least someone would come up with a better microwave popper. I can't believe that we are the only one that has had this problem.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIT.	negative
0	lithium ion computer battery a dud	Li-Ion Battery for Dell Inspiron 8500, 8600 SeriesNot this exact battery--I couldn't find an option to review the battery I received for my inspiron 700m. Suffice it to say, it worked for a couple of times, then I got a message that my computer didn't recognize the battery and it would no longer recharge. It looks and fits just like original equipment, but won't charge. My old battery still works fine, just doesn't last as long as when new, so it's not my computer.	negative
1	Awesome	Well I had to buy something to keep the battery on my motorcycle charged and this seemed like the best thing I could find. I plugged this in the night I got it and the went out to the garage the next day to see if I could start the bike and presto! It started right up. The price was better than anywhere I had looked and I even ordered the carrying case for it so I could take advantage of the free shipping for cheaper than I could have bought only this. $33 bucks! My brother was so impressed he had me order him up one. I only gave this 4 stars because nothing and no one is perfect except the man up stairs.	positive
0	A hideous waste of time & money	It's very, very rare that I stop reading a book, and with this one I didn't get past page fifty. The main character is two-dimensional and annoying at best and the intereactions painfully stereotypical. The arguments are like bad Mamet: frustrating to read and you know where they're going to go before they get there. Do yourself a favor and buy some other book.	negative
0	20$??	not worth 20$!!!(20 with shipping) without it you only work your chest and triceps, they are the only sore muscles ive got right now ive been using pp for 3 days now. this dvd would work but it is NOT worth your 20$.the price is high cause they know its a must when u buy the pp.	negative
1	progress on the semantics	This book contains the best exposition I've encountered (so far) on the justification for Bayesian inference. The author should be applauded for not falling into the all-too-common trap of engaging in a purely syntactical derivation of Bayes' Theorem from the definitions of conditional and joint probability. Unfortunately, the book doesn't go far enough down the semantic path to make me a Bayesian 'believer'. In the preface the author states, "In my book I do not wish to dwell on the problems associated with trying to be objective in Bayesian statistics." Well, this is exactly what I'm interested in, so I would be delighted with a second book that deals directly and exclusively with this particular issue.	positive
0	delusions	metheny is in a place where he can do anything and people will say it is great. this album is boring and the norah jones thing is a bit hoky.	negative
1	Worth the visit	This is by no means the best "scary" movie you will ever see but it is one you'll not likely forget--as with almost any movie, there were lulls in the action and there were some things too obvious, others not so. But The Village was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end.The idyllic life of the villagers is countered by the appearance of frightening warning signs left by "the ones we do not speak of." The townsfolk nevertheless go about their daily business, and the suspense of not knowing what will happen or when builds---no, you are not sitting on the edge of your seat biting your nails down to the bloody quick, but your uncertainty grows.The first time you see one of "them," it is so quick that you could easily miss it. Now the action begins. Of course there is a love story and the great irony in how its problems are finally resolved ties up the loose ends of this interesting social experiment.No, I'm not going to give away the ending. Go see it!!	positive
1	Just Listen	I saw Brother for the first time 11 years ago and hadn't heard about them again until this winter. I chanced upon their concert in Newcastle, and loved it so much I went to see them again the next week. Urban Cave is wildly different from the tape I bought so many years ago, and I love them both.Brother took my breath away and left left me spinning days after I saw them. Listening to Urban Cave brings it all whirling back. I've never experienced any sound or any band quite like them. Urban Cave is intricate in sound and meaning. Mongrel is definately the best breed and so is Brother's mongrel rock. And if their music doesn't get you, the guys will the moment they speak to you.I also recommend checking out their website, where you can read more about them. You can even follow Hamish's directions to make and play your own digeridoo!	positive
0	Save your Money	I bought this on my way out for a 12 hour flight and wished I'd saved my money...I would have been more entertained reading the Delta Shopper catalogue or the in-flight safety manual. Good premis, but very poorly written, cardboard characters, etc...I really can't add anything new to what the many other negative reviews already listed...	negative
0	Disappointing	Gergen's book is awash with name-dropping, inside baseball, and self-serving reminders of his proximity to power and his influence,,,although the evidence of whether any of the truly powerful accepted his advice or were influenced by him in any meaningful way is scanty. In my judgment, it has been his willingness to pander which has made him a "bi-partisan" figure, rather than true intellect or political savvy (a la Moynihan).I find the book to be the same as the man,,,narcissistic and full of self-promotion. There are much better views inside Washinton.	negative
0	tough but poorly written	I just passed the ACNP exam and used this book as a question bank in addition to the Fitzgerald review course CDs. I would have appreciated more full exams, there are only two 150 question exams, the rest are subject specific. The questions are tough (which is good for mastery) and some are a bit outdated now but my biggest complaint is that the book is poorly written. My husband (a Resident) was helping quiz me and there were several questions that we found the answers to be quite ambiguous or just plain wrong. Additionally the explanation for correct answers is often lacking, not providing rationale for why other answer choices were not correct. Use with caution, this book is good to really drill specific subjects rather than whole tests but watch out for inaccurate answers.	negative
0	Cannot Use In Bottle Warmer	I thought these were the best bottles, so I registered for them for my baby shower. I got 2 packs and while preparing for our daughter's arrival, I read the package insert. You cannot use these bottles in a warmer AND when making the bottles you have to prepare the formula in a different container, then pour it into the VentAire bottle THEN wait for the bubbles to settle before feeding your baby. It definitely doesn't help when you have to take the time to fix the formula in another container, warm it up and then place it in the VentAire and wait some more. Not great when your newborn is screaming at 3am for a bottle. I'd rather buy something that I can make in 1 container and warm. This bottle makes sure you have more dishes to wash in the end. I'm sure it's a great bottle but it's unneccesary for all of the steps you have to go through before feeding your child.	negative
1	Screenplay story. A long haiku. Shogun Hauge sensei you.	"I could write that!" Don't be so sure. Michael Hauge shows you screenplay tricks behind the silver screen. If you want to learn the craft, this should be the first book you buy. Hollywood rejects 50,000 scripts a year. He shows how to make your screenplay the one they'll buy	positive
0	Very disappointed	This poacher has worked well for the past two months we've had it. However, the eggs always stick to the poaching cups even with the use of oil and the cups are difficult to clean. Also, the pan started to chip and rust after the third use. We wash it by hand and use a mild soap but the chipping keeps getting worse. I can't recommend this product because the quality of the pan is poor.	negative
1	Misfits!	Beside being a surprising disturbing movie with some really creepy shot of Asbury Park NJ, Animal Room contains a great scene by the legendary horror punk band the Misfits. The song played is actually the Kryst the Conqueror recording of Dr. Phibes Rises Again (the vocals are lip synched by Michale Graves). The band is a wonderful addition to an already great movie that should be loved by anyone lucky enough to have come across it.	positive
0	Cookie cutter	Moby has a formula. This CD is just another example of it. He pumps 'em out and then exploits the heck out of them. ...! He certainly doesn't do it for the love of it. All his CD's are sounding the same. I gave this one away.	negative
1	Great workout!	For someone who has not exercised in a long time, or who has not exercised at all, this is a great dvd!	positive
0	NOT DELUXE	When doing search for Monkees Headquarters Deluxe edition, this version comes up for 4.99. What was sent was single disc not double disc as described.	negative
1	It is super cute but smaller than what the size says	I normally can fit into an 11 no problem, but these were way too narrow. They were super cute though.	positive
1	Test Strips	Price was excellent.Best price I have ever paid for thesestips by far.Strips arrived quickly.Product is exactly as ordered.Will continue to order.You can't beat it.	positive
1	Great Season of Stargate!!	This season has it all. Every single member of Stargate gets plenty of air time and we get to see some new allies come into existense.	positive
1	pan for toaster oven	It was exactly the correct size for my toaster oven-just a little pricey for the shipping.	positive
0	Not nearly enough	This is a pretty basic story of a female victim being abused and harassed by a male aggressor. Typically, in these story lines the aggressor performs a series of mean things (so the viewers will hate him) and victim exhausts all peaceful remedies. At the conclusion, the victim fights back with devastating consequences. This movie is no different.Perhaps the best asset of this movie is popular exposure to the Israeli self-defense system of Krav Maga. Sadly, it is only touched upon in the story. I was hoping that we would see Krav Maga training throughout the story leading up to the inevitable final conflict, but this didn't happen. In the story, our heroine trains for about 3 weeks before facing the enemy...in movie time, that means we get to see about 5 minutes of self-defense training near the end of the show.	negative
0	Shallow, irresponsible, over-long	It's really terrible the way a fine man like George Reeves can get thoroughly trashed in the course of making a third-rate, unsatisfying detective story. Never mind that they try to tell you this is a "fact-based" story of George Reeves. The movie is actually about some fictional slimy PI, a story no one would or should care about--so they attached that story to George Reeves by using some names and places. Affleck never comes close to Reeves' on-screen charisma. Reeves is portrayed as a one-dimensional, weak, whining loser, nothing at all like the real man and nothing about his real life and achievements make it into this film.Like I said, this movie is actually a boring PI story. Someone at Universal figured they could salvage the film by attaching a facade of history to it, and throwing in some "name" actors. It's still a total waste of time, and what it does to the memory of Reeves is a crime.	negative
0	Bland	I learned from this book that sometimes you only have one good novel in you; that you can write your heart out and still not get anywhere; that dialect will betray your unfamiliarity with culture; that doing something just because no one has before isn't a good enough reason.Card writes involving fiction that has been great, but this novel seldom rises above embarrassing. He's a good storyteller, even when the writing is abysmal, but if this book is any evidence, he's no novelist.	negative
1	Loved It	I loved this book! I normally read everything on my Kindle. Unfortunately, this book is not yet available in digital format. I sucked it up and bought it anyway and I'm glad I did. The stories were interesting and unique. My favorite story is about the flood that took place and how it affected the circus camp. I liked how all the stories were based around real people and events. I was confused when I saw photos in the beginning of each chapter and wondered how she got such correlating photos to a piece of fiction. Once I turned to the end of the book my confusion was alleviated in her explanation of the photos and the basis of each story. I couldn't put this book down.	positive
0	Fake LensPen	I don't believe this is a genuine LensPen. This one leaves a residue behind whereas I have a LenPen "micro" Pro and it is brilliant. Also I believe all real LensPens have the brand name on the pocket clip. Still, it's a nice brush for $3.	negative
1	Great for the price	I've been weighing my vegetables and then weighing the juice. So far this unit is 51% efficient. So, you get a little more than half the total weight of what you juice. Cleaning is not super difficult. Though you really need to clean the metal strainer right away and that takes a little scrubbing. You do need to makes sure that you line up the cup so that the hole in the cup lid is not touching any part of the spout. Otherwise juice will leak on the lid and onto the counter. - This is the reason I only give this unit 4 stars. Not a big issue but it is still a flaw.I LOVE juicing. I have to have a cup at least once a day. Best diet ever. Regardless of what unit you decide. I highly recommend the diet for optimal health.	positive
0	What happened to GRACE?	I believe the editor has missed the mark and failed to properly address what the Gospel is all about .... grace. The editor is obviously young and without enough life experience to know how to write the TRUTH. It is a shame that Christians must be fed misinformation by individuals who do not know what they are talking about. It is only by grace that we can come to Him ... the rest is irrelevant.	negative
1	Outstanding Articulating TV Wall Mount	Very well made product. Overkill for my 26" Sony Bravia LCD TV but well worth it. The TV is not going anywhere and it was very easy to install. I also like how one small screw can be removed and the TV can be lifted off the mount if I had to take the TV off.	positive
1	I am still breathing hard	WOW! What a book. If I could shout it out from the rooftop without my office mates calling the police i would, "Extended Orgasm really works!". I was reading this book in my office (my girlfriend works with me), and we snuck off to the lavatory to try it out.............woweeeee! Poor dear had to go home for the rest of the day and I have been sitting here praying to my new deity "THE BOOK". I am not sure the office below us may ever recover from exclamatory "Yes Big Daddy" that had many opening their doors and staring down the corridor. My only hope is that we both get fired and can spend more time enjoying the nirvana like orgasms that the book promises. If Dr. Ruth Westheimer personally offered to council us through my erectile dysfunction RIGHT NOW! I would have to decline......Wish me luck and see you at the unemployment office.	positive
1	Interesting Book	This book was recommended by my son and I read it and gained a whole new insight into mountain climbing. Wow, What an ordeal! If my son ever considers it, I will lock him up, tie him up, sit on him, or whatever it takes to keep him off a mountain like that. I have great respect for the author and the impact his experience had on his life and many others.	positive
1	Have you laughed today?	Sit back, grab a tofu salad and hold on as Chris Rock rocks. This guy has a humor that is not touched by any comedian today. he touches the human experience with the sharpest of wits and dices all our silliness into silliness. I watch this one over and over.	positive
1	Luxury Apts of NYC	I gave this book as a Christmas present to my sister who loves architecture and interior design and she was thrilled with it. I liked it as a former New Yorker -- not that I ever lived in such style.	positive
0	Not Usable	I've planned a summer-long tour of the northwest USA via RV and motorcycle. One of the 'must do' items is to check MC tire pressures regularly. My bike needs a flexible connection to ensure a solid connection to the tire valve. That's why I ordered this tire gauge. Unfortunately the gauge arrived with the needle on the wrong side of the zero peg, thus rendering the entire gauge unusable. Additionally there was no way to take the gauge apart to remedy the problem.Based on that problem I cannot recommend this gauge.	negative
0	Save your money	This book is almost as bad as his radio show. Save your money to send to a charity. He wrote this book in 3 days and it reads like he wrote it in 2 days. Good luck with this 4th grade read.	negative
1	Excellent book for the business manager	This book is an excellent brief on the business application for project management and the value selection for a project as applied to the business perspective. This book is on my list of favorite recommendations to non-project managers and business application managers struggling to understand the value that project management offers an organization. It also provides incite on how project selection supports a business case, company goals and objectives.	positive
1	Educational, safe magnets	My 19 month old loves these and so do I. Many children's magnets have small round magnets on the back which can be a choking hazard. The entire back of these is magnetic, so it's all one piece and safe. The illustrations are adorable, but not cartoony, so it's clear what the animal is.My daughter loves to take them off the fridge, show them to me and make the noise associated with it. We also have the (fisher price?)magnetic farm thing. The one where the child connects the front and back of the animal and a little song plays. The Melissa & Doug magnets are much more popular with my daughter and more educational.	positive
1	Very Good	Great storyline, great acting, dragged at times but eventually would start moving again. Would recommend and watch again. Rent it.	positive
1	Nice watch!!!	I've got this watch last week, and it is a gorgeus piece, works great and looks even better... it has a good cost/benefit rate in my opinion!	positive
0	Dissapointing after her others	I really like Peyroux's first two albums - she has a lovely voice - but this one left me cold. The first track is very good, and the title track isn't bad - almost everything else is dull and lifeless. Some of the covers are frankly awful. If you are coming to this artist for the first time I strong advise you to tryCareless LoveorDreamlanddreamland first. This one seems to have been airbrushed to smooth out anything interesting.	negative
1	Nice little chairs	I was very pleased with these chairs. They look a lot more expensive than they are and feel well made. They also were easy to put together. Very nice look for the money.	positive
0	Defective!!!!	After being a loyal Amazon customer for a few years...I've now received a defective product and I'm not very happy about it, but considering the very low, low price of this Alarm Clock, it's not worth the time or effort to return it and wait for a replacement. It's going right into the trash. The numbers don't display all the way, except for the "1", so unless I have a rough idea of what time of day or night it might be, I can then guess at the hour and minute. It has a defective display and teaches me once more that you get what you pay for!!!	negative
1	If you are a Toots fan you'll like it	It is a wonderful soulful album, but would have been better if Kenny Werner played acoustic piano exclusively instead of synths on some tracks. There is another review of this album on the web which stated the same and I agree. Soft and soulful, I found it to be quite inspirational, since I enjoy playing the chromatic harmonica as a hobby. Toots has many imitators but he is the only one, and has stood the test of time. Blues fans might want to look elsewhere for their harmonica, e.g. Paul Delay.	positive
0	Does not work	I received a used staple that was even marked with a name. I did not paid for a used staple. Besides, it does not work. I thought I was not using it right but, it's only a staple. How else can it be used? It does not work!!!!	negative
1	Gorgeous....	Im talking about both Kavana and his music. =) this album is really great. My favorite of the album is the first 4, especially "Special kind of something". If you like ballads with a little mix here and there, you should try Kavana..	positive
1	Great classic trio	My parents ordered this for me for Christmas (because I'm a little obsessed with Audrey Hepburn :D ) and we all watched Roman Holiday together. It was a cute movie, and I can't wait to watch the other two. The only problem was that there was a small dent in the DVD case. Otherwise, a great purchase!	positive
0	Hikers - Look Elsewhere	I bought this software for producing detail maps and profiles for hiking. In short, I'm very dissapointed and have uninstalled the app. Why?- the maps are outdated and inaccurate, many (well established) trails are missing or miss-routed.- the software is unstable resulting in multiple crashes requiring TaskMan kills (try exporting a profile as a jpeg).- the UI is awful. Simple tasks require you to hunt through multiple screens with poor (if any) results.- the search functionality is next to useless. Try finding a lake by name in your local area...- the on screen nav is cumbersome at best, resulting in magnification or pans that confound and frustrate. Where's the undo?I've written Windows apps since the early 80's (Win v1.03). This one's what we call a dog.	negative

1	Celine the Finest Extract of 90's Pop	90's music will be remembered by excellent female vocalists such as Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. Celine is a versatile Canadian singer who can sing Broadway musical styled Beauty and Beast rock songs such as All By Myself (Eric Carmen cover) and It's All Coming Back To Me Now (my #1 favorite Celine song) and groovy Because You Loved Me. Personally I would like to hear more of rocky-edged songs but her dynamic vocal appeal is irresistible. Unlike any other compilations this has seven newer tracks including That's The Way It Is featured as single. This latter part of this compilation is somewhat similar in softer tone with latest A New Day Has Come. I am really glad that she came back and will enchant us for sure during this decade as well.	positive

0	reasonable in theory, bad in practice	For plantar fasciitis, strengthening the foot muscles would seem to be a reasonable therapy. But after five days of using this device, my p.f. pain was far worse than it had been previously. The problem was not that I went overboard using the device. I was cautious and followed the directions carefully. And, yes, the pain did decrease to its pre-device level within a week of my stopping.	negative

I am a clerk at a video store and I actually convince people to rent another movie rather than waste their hard-earned dollars on this disasterpiece.

1	A Fabulous Deal!	We just bought a new house and an HP 1020 Laser Printer was abandoned with the house because of a missing part. We replaced that part and bought a new cartridge for under twenty dollars from Amazon. Because the cartridge was so cheap, we thought the performance would be shoddy. We were delightfully surprised that we could go through almost five reams of paper before we had to replace the cartridge. Our orphaned laser printer saves us money compared to the ink jet printers and even the large Xerox printer we have, which prints 10,000 copies, but the cartridge is $100.00. I just ordered our fourth cartridge today. We save on tax, aggravation, gas, time, and with Amazon prime we save on shipping, too. A fabulous deal!	positive
1	Does everything and then some.....just a little heavy	I like everything about this vacuum except that it's a little heavy to lift up stairs but I chalk that up to good excercise. I've had this vacuum for over a year now and I'm very pleased with it. Nothing has broken, stopped working, cracked etc. It definitely sucks up the dirt and then some and is so EASY to empty. I'll never be without a bagless vacuum again! This one has all the gadgets I need to keep my carpets clean.	positive
1	The power of family in fighting cancer	This book makes me believe in the power of love, family, and natural beauty in mending the broken body. Remoff's description of her dispair and pain, but staunch resistance to giving in, and the strength she gathered from her beloved family and home town were inspiring. The perfect gift for someone staging their own battle.	positive
0	wasted my money	I spent an entire afternoon trying to get this piece of junk to talk to my wireless network. Went through the steps a bazillion times . It found my network and could not get an IP address ( after WEP key entered). Customer service were on the phone with me for hours and I think it safe to say we tried everything. Their final suggestion was call your ISP (Comcast) who were unable to help.So - I bought a new Tivo specifically to use on my network so I could broadcast my MP3 collection through my AV system and cant. Add to the fact thatthe new Tivo is giving problems switching channels and you can see what a giant step backwards I took - If I could give this zero stars I would!	negative
1	A must for any Miss Saigon fan!!	Miss Saigon is my favorite all-time musical! I was hesitant when buying this recording because in my mind Lea Salonga is and always will be Kim! But I was pleasantly surprised. Joanna Ampil as Kim holds her own. While she doesn't have the vocal range of Lea, she has a beautiful, crisp voice which she uses to emote the emotional turmoil of Kim. She expresses herself in a way that makes you feel her love, pain and anguish and in turn she makes this part her own. The rest of the cast is superb (especially the amazing Ruthie Henshall as Ellen) but make no mistake, this show belongs to Ampil!I also fell in love with some of the material left out of the LCR. There a beautiful bridges and songs which enrich the story. "Back in Town" stands out for me because of the gorgeous melodies. Anyone who has fallen in love with the story of "Miss Saigon" will appreciate these added gems! This cast recording is definitely worth a listen!!	positive

0	A cheap screen play for Jurassic Park 2	Kids who serve no purpose other than to reflect the firstversion of this story. A scientist resurrected for the solepurpose of writing a sequel. Anyone who enjoyed the first book(NOT the movie!!!) will realize that the book was a low attemptgetting a chance at the big movie money again. I'm sure thespecial effects will be good, but the story came straight out ofthat big pile of triceratops dung in part 1.	negative
0	Interesting at times	Fairly good thriller that is too often self-indulgent to author's prejudices and just plain cruel at times. The characters are weak and that can sink the best story for me. After slogging through this overlong opus, you may feel that you put more effort into reading this than the author did writing it. There's certainly deeper thought in some of these reviews than any place in this novel. But as a thriller, I give it a pass.	negative
0	Hard to clean	My husband and I drink chai tea every morning instead of coffee, and the Cocomotion heats it and froths it up, which makes it very tasty. I haven't been able to find any other machine which is made specifically for tea or hot chocolate, so we use the Cocomotion on a daily basis. It DOES froth well, but I agree with the other reviewer who stated that it is hard to clean. The carafe can't be submerged, and residue collects all around the bottom inside edge, making the machine look dirty. There are little ball bearings in the magnetic stirring mechanism, and they fell out after just a few uses, but we continue to use the machine.	negative
1	Turn it on Again!	This is a good Genesis live DVD. I had lost my love for Collins era Genesis lately, but this DVD brings it back. The Way We Walk Live DVD was kind of slow and dare I say, lacked passion. But this one, oh boy, is exciting and restores my love for Collins and the boys.Sample, for instance, ABACAB which is powerful and rythmic. It rocks. The long songs namely Domino and Home by the Sea are played with great energy and vigor and reminds you that Genesis is more than a prog band gone pop. No, circa 1987 they jam!!The sound is pretty good given its age;so no complaints. Likewise, the picture, in widescreen, is pretty decent with minimal blurring and edge enhancement issues.The only minuses is that this DVD caters to the casual Genesis fan and takes out the classic stuff save for Los Endos. Gone are the likes of Supper's Ready and In the Cage. This is too bad, but I will forgive them. All and all, get this DVD as it is better than the previous The Way We Walk.	positive

1	Fantastic!	The title says it all! Neil Diamond is the ultimate entertainer/story teller.......a must-buy!We also enjoyed the additional segments around the making of the Show/DVD which give another side to Neil. There are just not enough superlatives to say how much we enjoyed this (& will continue to enjoy it for years to come)	positive
0	Full of Generalizations	Though the book certainly had some pertinent points, such as fathers deserving equal consideration in child custody cases, it is full of facts which are not backed up by data. For example, Farrell states that 73% of male murderers come from single mother families. He, therefore, concludes that the mothers are responsible for their sons becoming murderers. He never states why the mothers are single parents, which is pertinent to the argument he tries to make. Are the mothers single because the fathers were abusive or criminal?? If so, it is pertinent information. The book is full of this type of generalization, and therefore must be read with an open mind to alternative explationations for the statistics quoted.	negative
1	Washed and dryed...	Okay, I usually don't rate a product unless if I have something really bad or really good to say about it. Well, this flash drive is awesome! I mean, the cap fits perfectly, and seals the drive very well. I accidentally forgot to remove the flash drive from my pocket and over the weekend did laundry. I couldn't find my flash drive... UNTIL I got my clothes out of the dryer. The flash drive was HOT... "OH NO! It's fried"... but I had valuable information in there and just had to know if it was alright...Well, I tested it out, and it WORKS FINE! Just regularly. This was about 6 months ago... and it is still in top notch as of today. I just had to write my review about how reliable this drive is to me. It is sealed all the way and doesn't look like water goes through all the way to the data board. AWESOME! I'd recommend for reliability, which is what all flash drives should have!	positive

Spinning her wheels

I did not enjoy this book. In my opinion, all the author did was share a story which should have been kept to herself. Black women writers, need to share stories which convey strength of conviction and hope for the future. Ms Bandele gives us neither. I am not condemning the life that she chose but the fact that it has been made public. A well educated Black woman who became an editor at Essence, is someone that most young Black girls would aspire to emulate, and they should. Professional Black personalities in entertainment, sports, enterprising business, etc. should accept that whether or not they choose to be, they are role models for less fortunate children of the ghetto. If this story at any time had given the reader emotional fullfillment or at least a sense of better days to come it would be worth the time and paper on which it is printed. This story is one which starts out hopeless and ends the same way. What was the point?

Killing Floor

Jack Reacher roams from place to place and this time he's come to a small town in Georgia on a whim. He's eating breakfast when the town's finest blow in and arrest him for murder. It's a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a shocker for Jack when he discovers the identity of the guy he's supposed to have killed. People keep dying and it's becoming a blood bath. Jack sticks around to see justice done, but it's a scary ride all the way.

2ND TIME WATCHING IT...it's still a lame TV movie at best

Sure, if you are a Stephen King fan, it sticks very closely to the book, but as a film experience it's DISMAL and bland.Danny is played by Courtland Mead. A child who can't act, and who has a mouth disfigurement which makes his upper lip reach toward his forehead!Webber is an OK actor at best.Kubrick's film is a classic masterpiece, and can never be equalled on any level--visuals, acting, set design...

Disappointing

I give this collection of sonatas only two stars because the way they were recorded only allows two fifths of them to play on my Bose. I returned them once, received a quick replacement - the same. Most of them have to be played in the car. Also, I believe Barenboim plays some of the sonatas too fast - just because he can.

Merritt Strikes Again

The best current pop songwriter has outdone himself with a full three disc set of tunes. Sure, you can throw out about 10 songs, but what you have left is simply astounding. The musical ground he covers here is immense, and nearly everything he tries connects. Easily the record of the year, and a must have for pop music fans.

Disappointed

A few things I didn't see in the product description here are the poor compatibility with the older IPODs. e.g. my 20MB version.- The remote doesn't work properly on the older IPODs (only the volume and on/off buttons not the back/forward buttons etc.)- The older IPODs connect via a wire and balance on the system without "locking" properly into the system.- It doesn't charge the (older) IPOD as claimed.BTW - the instructions (as noted in the reviews by others) are just awful.Apart from that it's OK.

Great Film (for those with open minds)

1.) It's interesting to note that some of the people who rated this film with 1-2 stars are pro-life, when this film is not entirely about abortion. The storyline presents us with romance, abortion, incest, and a boy on his journey to finding himself. It's a classic American story that touches on some issues, and yes, it does have a pro-choice theme. But, it does place a good argument on the table. Women who receive unsafe abortions will likely die, and many children are dumped into orphanages because they were not wanted. So, to those who are pro-life, I encourage you to give the film a chance. The best way to support your viewpoint is to know the argument of the opposition.2.) So this film presents some questionable situations.....that's entertainment! Life isn't peachy, fair, or the way you want it to be...why not have films represent this??3.) This movie is in my top ten favorite, if not #1! Just give it a chance....if you dare to have an open mind!

EA Big IS definetly Big

Compared to NBA Live, by EA sports, NBA Street is much, much better. the fact that the best way to score is dunking rocks, and with custom players and a team with MJ, Iverson, and Shaq, how can you lose. the best part is every team you beat, you get a player from the team, like Mourning, Carter, Bryant, Duncan, and Garnet. This is the best NBA game I've ever played.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT SPYING

This is not an espionage thriller as the cover and title of this book would have you beleive. The vast majority of the content in this book is about how two people working in the CIA fall in love with each other and how they are so excited being around one another. I for one, and i think most people would agree, think that someone who would buy this book would be interested in the CIA and the history of the cold war. This book has nearly nothing to do with either of those subjects! Their are some good parts to this book but they are overshadowed by a love story. This book would be better catogorized as a romance novel!

Horrible teenybopper fluff

"Demon In My View" (the title is lifted from Poe's poem "Alone")contains nothing of redeeming value, or any serious literary merit. I think any 6-yr old could produce better art while half-asleep. The story is trite, confused, slow, and stereotypical. The editor should be immediately fired for letting this into the market. The annoying social consciousness, laughable teenage "angst," and downright idiocy will appeal to the "Dawsons Creek" crowd I am sure, but this is not for me, or any other discerning and intelligent reader.

Didn't Make Me Lose My Head

Aside from a quick breast shot, and the occasional "bad" word, this movie seemed to be made for ABC Family. If I was 13, I would've fully enjoyed this film. As an adult,it was kind of lackluster. The storyline was a bit rushed and unrealistic. (even for a horror film) Nick Carter is hot as hell, but he needs some acting classes. Kevin Zegers and Stacy Keach's characters are the only two worth mentioning. Judge Reinhold's performance was just plain embarrassing. I did like the setting of the film. It took me back to when I was a teen. I will say, it wasn't boring. It did keep me entertained, but I was VERY disappointed with the overall storyline.

Do not buy this product for the Super Nintendo

LIVING OFF THE LAND WITH CARLA'S BOOK

In the 70's my husband and I bought a five acre mini farm and I decided to live off the land as much as possible. As our oldest child had many food allergies, we purchased some goats for milking, sheep for shearing, chickens for meat and eggs, a young steer for fattening and gardened as much as of the land as possible. As a city girl, Carla's book helped me through it all.....I have the fondest memories of reaching for her book almost daily. Her family stories made it come to life and I know now, with Carla's help, if I had to totally live off the land, I could do it.....with her book by my side! I will be forever indebted to her for taking the time to write such a thorough Encyclopedia of Wealth!!!

Can't believe there are good reviews

After reading the good reviews we purchased this popper. WOW!! WAS THIS A DISAPPOINTMENT. The papers last maybe 4 times (if we're lucky) Forget using oil, spray etc of any sort. The papers are good for one time only. We have used several different brands of popcorn including the recommended one. And nothing makes a difference. We bought the unit at Wal-Mart and when we go back to buy more papers we find out they don't handle the paper for the popper. So if we want to continue to use it we have to order and pay a shipping cost. It's not worth the money or the bother. As far as the popcorn it pops fast and sometime it taste OK and sometime not. You would think they would come up with something better then paper liners or at least someone would come up with a better microwave popper. I can't believe that we are the only one that has had this problem.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIT.

I plugged this in the night I got it and the went out to the garage the next day to see if I could start the bike and presto! It started right up. The price was better than anywhere I had looked and I even ordered the carrying case for it so I could take advantage of the free shipping for cheaper than I could have bought only this. $33 bucks! My brother was so impressed he had me order him up one. I only gave this 4 stars because nothing and no one is perfect except the man up stairs.

It's very, very rare that I stop reading a book, and with this one I didn't get past page fifty.

progress on the semantics

This book contains the best exposition I've encountered (so far) on the justification for Bayesian inference. The author should be applauded for not falling into the all-too-common trap of engaging in a purely syntactical derivation of Bayes' Theorem from the definitions of conditional and joint probability. Unfortunately, the book doesn't go far enough down the semantic path to make me a Bayesian 'believer'. In the preface the author states, "In my book I do not wish to dwell on the problems associated with trying to be objective in Bayesian statistics." Well, this is exactly what I'm interested in, so I would be delighted with a second book that deals directly and exclusively with this particular issue.

Worth the visit

This is by no means the best "scary" movie you will ever see but it is one you'll not likely forget--as with almost any movie, there were lulls in the action and there were some things too obvious, others not so. But The Village was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end.The idyllic life of the villagers is countered by the appearance of frightening warning signs left by "the ones we do not speak of." The townsfolk nevertheless go about their daily business, and the suspense of not knowing what will happen or when builds---no, you are not sitting on the edge of your seat biting your nails down to the bloody quick, but your uncertainty grows.The first time you see one of "them," it is so quick that you could easily miss it. Now the action begins. Of course there is a love story and the great irony in how its problems are finally resolved ties up the loose ends of this interesting social experiment.No, I'm not going to give away the ending. Go see it!!

Just Listen

I saw Brother for the first time 11 years ago and hadn't heard about them again until this winter. I chanced upon their concert in Newcastle, and loved it so much I went to see them again the next week. Urban Cave is wildly different from the tape I bought so many years ago, and I love them both.Brother took my breath away and left left me spinning days after I saw them. Listening to Urban Cave brings it all whirling back. I've never experienced any sound or any band quite like them. Urban Cave is intricate in sound and meaning. Mongrel is definately the best breed and so is Brother's mongrel rock. And if their music doesn't get you, the guys will the moment they speak to you.I also recommend checking out their website, where you can read more about them. You can even follow Hamish's directions to make and play your own digeridoo!

Disappointing

Gergen's book is awash with name-dropping, inside baseball, and self-serving reminders of his proximity to power and his influence,,,although the evidence of whether any of the truly powerful accepted his advice or were influenced by him in any meaningful way is scanty. In my judgment, it has been his willingness to pander which has made him a "bi-partisan" figure, rather than true intellect or political savvy (a la Moynihan).I find the book to be the same as the man,,,narcissistic and full of self-promotion. There are much better views inside Washinton.

tough but poorly written

I just passed the ACNP exam and used this book as a question bank in addition to the Fitzgerald review course CDs. I would have appreciated more full exams, there are only two 150 question exams, the rest are subject specific. The questions are tough (which is good for mastery) and some are a bit outdated now but my biggest complaint is that the book is poorly written. My husband (a Resident) was helping quiz me and there were several questions that we found the answers to be quite ambiguous or just plain wrong. Additionally the explanation for correct answers is often lacking, not providing rationale for why other answer choices were not correct. Use with caution, this book is good to really drill specific subjects rather than whole tests but watch out for inaccurate answers.

You cannot use these bottles in a warmer AND when making the bottles you have to prepare the formula in a different container, then pour it into the VentAire bottle THEN wait for the bubbles to settle before feeding your baby. It definitely doesn't help when you have to take the time to fix the formula in another container, warm it up and then place it in the VentAire and wait some more. Not great when your newborn is screaming at 3am for a bottle. I'd rather buy something that I can make in 1 container and warm. This bottle makes sure you have more dishes to wash in the end. I'm sure it's a great bottle but it's unneccesary for all of the steps you have to go through before feeding your child.

Screenplay story. A long haiku. Shogun Hauge sensei you.

"I could write that!" Don't be so sure. Michael Hauge shows you screenplay tricks behind the silver screen. If you want to learn the craft, this should be the first book you buy. Hollywood rejects 50,000 scripts a year. He shows how to make your screenplay the one they'll buy

Very disappointed

This poacher has worked well for the past two months we've had it. However, the eggs always stick to the poaching cups even with the use of oil and the cups are difficult to clean. Also, the pan started to chip and rust after the third use. We wash it by hand and use a mild soap but the chipping keeps getting worse. I can't recommend this product because the quality of the pan is poor.

Misfits!

Beside being a surprising disturbing movie with some really creepy shot of Asbury Park NJ, Animal Room contains a great scene by the legendary horror punk band the Misfits. The song played is actually the Kryst the Conqueror recording of Dr. Phibes Rises Again (the vocals are lip synched by Michale Graves). The band is a wonderful addition to an already great movie that should be loved by anyone lucky enough to have come across it.

Not nearly enough

This is a pretty basic story of a female victim being abused and harassed by a male aggressor. Typically, in these story lines the aggressor performs a series of mean things (so the viewers will hate him) and victim exhausts all peaceful remedies. At the conclusion, the victim fights back with devastating consequences. This movie is no different.Perhaps the best asset of this movie is popular exposure to the Israeli self-defense system of Krav Maga. Sadly, it is only touched upon in the story. I was hoping that we would see Krav Maga training throughout the story leading up to the inevitable final conflict, but this didn't happen. In the story, our heroine trains for about 3 weeks before facing the enemy...in movie time, that means we get to see about 5 minutes of self-defense training near the end of the show.

Shallow, irresponsible, over-long

It's really terrible the way a fine man like George Reeves can get thoroughly trashed in the course of making a third-rate, unsatisfying detective story. Never mind that they try to tell you this is a "fact-based" story of George Reeves. The movie is actually about some fictional slimy PI, a story no one would or should care about--so they attached that story to George Reeves by using some names and places. Affleck never comes close to Reeves' on-screen charisma. Reeves is portrayed as a one-dimensional, weak, whining loser, nothing at all like the real man and nothing about his real life and achievements make it into this film.Like I said, this movie is actually a boring PI story. Someone at Universal figured they could salvage the film by attaching a facade of history to it, and throwing in some "name" actors. It's still a total waste of time, and what it does to the memory of Reeves is a crime.

Bland

I learned from this book that sometimes you only have one good novel in you; that you can write your heart out and still not get anywhere; that dialect will betray your unfamiliarity with culture; that doing something just because no one has before isn't a good enough reason.Card writes involving fiction that has been great, but this novel seldom rises above embarrassing. He's a good storyteller, even when the writing is abysmal, but if this book is any evidence, he's no novelist.

Loved It

I loved this book! I normally read everything on my Kindle. Unfortunately, this book is not yet available in digital format. I sucked it up and bought it anyway and I'm glad I did. The stories were interesting and unique. My favorite story is about the flood that took place and how it affected the circus camp. I liked how all the stories were based around real people and events. I was confused when I saw photos in the beginning of each chapter and wondered how she got such correlating photos to a piece of fiction. Once I turned to the end of the book my confusion was alleviated in her explanation of the photos and the basis of each story. I couldn't put this book down.

Fake LensPen

I don't believe this is a genuine LensPen. This one leaves a residue behind whereas I have a LenPen "micro" Pro and it is brilliant. Also I believe all real LensPens have the brand name on the pocket clip. Still, it's a nice brush for $3.

Great for the price

I've been weighing my vegetables and then weighing the juice. So far this unit is 51% efficient. So, you get a little more than half the total weight of what you juice. Cleaning is not super difficult. Though you really need to clean the metal strainer right away and that takes a little scrubbing. You do need to makes sure that you line up the cup so that the hole in the cup lid is not touching any part of the spout. Otherwise juice will leak on the lid and onto the counter. - This is the reason I only give this unit 4 stars. Not a big issue but it is still a flaw.I LOVE juicing. I have to have a cup at least once a day. Best diet ever. Regardless of what unit you decide. I highly recommend the diet for optimal health.

What happened to GRACE?

I believe the editor has missed the mark and failed to properly address what the Gospel is all about .... grace. The editor is obviously young and without enough life experience to know how to write the TRUTH. It is a shame that Christians must be fed misinformation by individuals who do not know what they are talking about. It is only by grace that we can come to Him ... the rest is irrelevant.

Outstanding Articulating TV Wall Mount

Very well made product. Overkill for my 26" Sony Bravia LCD TV but well worth it. The TV is not going anywhere and it was very easy to install. I also like how one small screw can be removed and the TV can be lifted off the mount if I had to take the TV off.

My only hope is that we both get fired and can spend more time enjoying the nirvana like orgasms that the book promises. If Dr. Ruth Westheimer personally offered to council us through my erectile dysfunction RIGHT NOW! I would have to decline......Wish me luck and see you at the unemployment office.

This book was recommended by my son and I read it and gained a whole new insight into mountain climbing. Wow, What an ordeal!

Not Usable

I've planned a summer-long tour of the northwest USA via RV and motorcycle. One of the 'must do' items is to check MC tire pressures regularly. My bike needs a flexible connection to ensure a solid connection to the tire valve. That's why I ordered this tire gauge. Unfortunately the gauge arrived with the needle on the wrong side of the zero peg, thus rendering the entire gauge unusable. Additionally there was no way to take the gauge apart to remedy the problem.Based on that problem I cannot recommend this gauge.

This book is an excellent brief on the business application for project management and the value selection for a project as applied to the business perspective.

Educational, safe magnets

My 19 month old loves these and so do I. Many children's magnets have small round magnets on the back which can be a choking hazard. The entire back of these is magnetic, so it's all one piece and safe. The illustrations are adorable, but not cartoony, so it's clear what the animal is.My daughter loves to take them off the fridge, show them to me and make the noise associated with it. We also have the (fisher price?)magnetic farm thing. The one where the child connects the front and back of the animal and a little song plays. The Melissa & Doug magnets are much more popular with my daughter and more educational.

Dissapointing after her others

I really like Peyroux's first two albums - she has a lovely voice - but this one left me cold. The first track is very good, and the title track isn't bad - almost everything else is dull and lifeless. Some of the covers are frankly awful. If you are coming to this artist for the first time I strong advise you to tryCareless LoveorDreamlanddreamland first. This one seems to have been airbrushed to smooth out anything interesting.

Defective!!!!

After being a loyal Amazon customer for a few years...I've now received a defective product and I'm not very happy about it, but considering the very low, low price of this Alarm Clock, it's not worth the time or effort to return it and wait for a replacement. It's going right into the trash. The numbers don't display all the way, except for the "1", so unless I have a rough idea of what time of day or night it might be, I can then guess at the hour and minute. It has a defective display and teaches me once more that you get what you pay for!!!

If you are a Toots fan you'll like it

It is a wonderful soulful album, but would have been better if Kenny Werner played acoustic piano exclusively instead of synths on some tracks. There is another review of this album on the web which stated the same and I agree. Soft and soulful, I found it to be quite inspirational, since I enjoy playing the chromatic harmonica as a hobby. Toots has many imitators but he is the only one, and has stood the test of time. Blues fans might want to look elsewhere for their harmonica, e.g. Paul Delay.

Hikers - Look Elsewhere

I bought this software for producing detail maps and profiles for hiking. In short, I'm very dissapointed and have uninstalled the app. Why?- the maps are outdated and inaccurate, many (well established) trails are missing or miss-routed.- the software is unstable resulting in multiple crashes requiring TaskMan kills (try exporting a profile as a jpeg).- the UI is awful. Simple tasks require you to hunt through multiple screens with poor (if any) results.- the search functionality is next to useless. Try finding a lake by name in your local area...- the on screen nav is cumbersome at best, resulting in magnification or pans that confound and frustrate. Where's the undo?I've written Windows apps since the early 80's (Win v1.03). This one's what we call a dog.

Celine the Finest Extract of 90's Pop

90's music will be remembered by excellent female vocalists such as Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. Celine is a versatile Canadian singer who can sing Broadway musical styled Beauty and Beast rock songs such as All By Myself (Eric Carmen cover) and It's All Coming Back To Me Now (my #1 favorite Celine song) and groovy Because You Loved Me. Personally I would like to hear more of rocky-edged songs but her dynamic vocal appeal is irresistible. Unlike any other compilations this has seven newer tracks including That's The Way It Is featured as single. This latter part of this compilation is somewhat similar in softer tone with latest A New Day Has Come. I am really glad that she came back and will enchant us for sure during this decade as well.

For plantar fasciitis, strengthening the foot muscles would seem to be a reasonable therapy. But after five days of using this device, my p.f. pain was far worse than it had been previously.

A Fabulous Deal!

We just bought a new house and an HP 1020 Laser Printer was abandoned with the house because of a missing part. We replaced that part and bought a new cartridge for under twenty dollars from Amazon. Because the cartridge was so cheap, we thought the performance would be shoddy. We were delightfully surprised that we could go through almost five reams of paper before we had to replace the cartridge. Our orphaned laser printer saves us money compared to the ink jet printers and even the large Xerox printer we have, which prints 10,000 copies, but the cartridge is $100.00. I just ordered our fourth cartridge today. We save on tax, aggravation, gas, time, and with Amazon prime we save on shipping, too. A fabulous deal!

It found my network and could not get an IP address ( after WEP key entered). Customer service were on the phone with me for hours and I think it safe to say we tried everything. Their final suggestion was call your ISP (Comcast) who were unable to help.So - I bought a new Tivo specifically to use on my network so I could broadcast my MP3 collection through my AV system and cant. Add to the fact thatthe new Tivo is giving problems switching channels and you can see what a giant step backwards I took - If I could give this zero stars I would!

A must for any Miss Saigon fan!!

Miss Saigon is my favorite all-time musical! I was hesitant when buying this recording because in my mind Lea Salonga is and always will be Kim! But I was pleasantly surprised. Joanna Ampil as Kim holds her own. While she doesn't have the vocal range of Lea, she has a beautiful, crisp voice which she uses to emote the emotional turmoil of Kim. She expresses herself in a way that makes you feel her love, pain and anguish and in turn she makes this part her own. The rest of the cast is superb (especially the amazing Ruthie Henshall as Ellen) but make no mistake, this show belongs to Ampil!I also fell in love with some of the material left out of the LCR. There a beautiful bridges and songs which enrich the story. "Back in Town" stands out for me because of the gorgeous melodies. Anyone who has fallen in love with the story of "Miss Saigon" will appreciate these added gems! This cast recording is definitely worth a listen!!

Interesting at times

Fairly good thriller that is too often self-indulgent to author's prejudices and just plain cruel at times. The characters are weak and that can sink the best story for me. After slogging through this overlong opus, you may feel that you put more effort into reading this than the author did writing it. There's certainly deeper thought in some of these reviews than any place in this novel. But as a thriller, I give it a pass.

Hard to clean

My husband and I drink chai tea every morning instead of coffee, and the Cocomotion heats it and froths it up, which makes it very tasty. I haven't been able to find any other machine which is made specifically for tea or hot chocolate, so we use the Cocomotion on a daily basis. It DOES froth well, but I agree with the other reviewer who stated that it is hard to clean. The carafe can't be submerged, and residue collects all around the bottom inside edge, making the machine look dirty. There are little ball bearings in the magnetic stirring mechanism, and they fell out after just a few uses, but we continue to use the machine.

Turn it on Again!

This is a good Genesis live DVD. I had lost my love for Collins era Genesis lately, but this DVD brings it back. The Way We Walk Live DVD was kind of slow and dare I say, lacked passion. But this one, oh boy, is exciting and restores my love for Collins and the boys.Sample, for instance, ABACAB which is powerful and rythmic. It rocks. The long songs namely Domino and Home by the Sea are played with great energy and vigor and reminds you that Genesis is more than a prog band gone pop. No, circa 1987 they jam!!The sound is pretty good given its age;so no complaints. Likewise, the picture, in widescreen, is pretty decent with minimal blurring and edge enhancement issues.The only minuses is that this DVD caters to the casual Genesis fan and takes out the classic stuff save for Los Endos. Gone are the likes of Supper's Ready and In the Cage. This is too bad, but I will forgive them. All and all, get this DVD as it is better than the previous The Way We Walk.

Full of Generalizations

Though the book certainly had some pertinent points, such as fathers deserving equal consideration in child custody cases, it is full of facts which are not backed up by data. For example, Farrell states that 73% of male murderers come from single mother families. He, therefore, concludes that the mothers are responsible for their sons becoming murderers. He never states why the mothers are single parents, which is pertinent to the argument he tries to make. Are the mothers single because the fathers were abusive or criminal?? If so, it is pertinent information. The book is full of this type of generalization, and therefore must be read with an open mind to alternative explationations for the statistics quoted.

Washed and dryed...

Okay, I usually don't rate a product unless if I have something really bad or really good to say about it. Well, this flash drive is awesome! I mean, the cap fits perfectly, and seals the drive very well. I accidentally forgot to remove the flash drive from my pocket and over the weekend did laundry. I couldn't find my flash drive... UNTIL I got my clothes out of the dryer. The flash drive was HOT... "OH NO! It's fried"... but I had valuable information in there and just had to know if it was alright...Well, I tested it out, and it WORKS FINE! Just regularly. This was about 6 months ago... and it is still in top notch as of today. I just had to write my review about how reliable this drive is to me. It is sealed all the way and doesn't look like water goes through all the way to the data board. AWESOME! I'd recommend for reliability, which is what all flash drives should have!
