Just wanted to go on the record...
|
I've had this DVD player for about 9 months now I've played over fifty DVD's (purchased and rented) and haven't had one that wouldn't play yet. I've also used it as a full-time CD player, God knows how many CD's it's played (perfectly, I might add). The only problem I've had is that it does freeze up for a second sometimes and then continues. I assumed this was because it was changing layers. I took off a star for it but it's really no big deal and only happens on a few movies. I'd expect for from it if it was a "flagship" model but it's not priced that way, and for the price I feel it's a good deal.

Please slow down
|
If you're like me and you were stupid enough to buy this cd after hearing stay what you are you willhave made a big mistake. These two cds are completely opposite cd's. All of the songs on cant slow down sound the same and the songs are short, but not sweet. If they slowed down you could probobly actually consider this emo. I hate this cd dont buy it.

CPT-140 Fancy but not worthy
|
Beware of very sophisticated fancy looking kitchen appliances and read the reviews before you fall for them. I bought one of this expensive products and it stopped working 6 months later. Cuisinart does offer a 3 year warranty in all their products, but they don't tell you that you have to go through the annoyance of shipping the product back to them at your own cost and you will also have to pay for the shipping cost if you want your new product back. They won't reimburse you for your time either, so if you earn money by the hour, add those losses to the cost of the appliance. That will be enough money to buy any other brand if I throw that one to the garbage. It's not worth it.

I have tried to buy this CD from two different Amazon vendors, both times it was actually some other unrecognizable music, not related to Toots and the Maytals, even though the actual CD was labeled as if it was Toots. I suspect that wherever you buy this CD, it will not be what you expect.

I haven't really played that much of the game but the graphics are Terrible!

Yet Another Disappointed Gamer
|
As an avid strategy gamer, I was anticipating Spore's release...Then I found out about the DRM.I will not pay a game company to install malware on my computer. I will not buy a game that I cannot reinstall a few years down the line when I have upgraded my computer multiple times. I will not support a company that uses illegal copy protection methods that have been proven to cause a lot of technical problems for its customers.It's really too bad. Spore looks like a pretty interesting game. Hopefully it will be available in the future without the intrusive and insulting "security" measures.

I love this book
|
I can honestly say this book has changed my life. It has left me with a deeper and clearer understanding of what is possible when we follow our heart and listen for our truth. It is a story in which the author is fully committed to her healing journey regardless of challenges she faces. It's filled with wisdom and heart felt expression of the author's truth. It shares her life experiences that leave the reader in awe. It also inspired me to go further in my healing journey. This is a book that will open your heart, touch your soul, and give a deeper meaning to your life.

Nirvana were a legendary band, and this is arguably their best album. An ideal introduction to the band, or some great listening if you're already into them. This is the album that boosted Nirvana to super-stardom, and planted their feet in rock history. A must-have for all lovers of alternative rock.

I am very disappointed in this product. They are not the product advertised in the description. I was looking for some safe balls to add to my daughters ball pit and instead when this product arrived it was not "Air-Filled Phthalate Free non-PVC LDPE Plastic Balls" as is written in the product description. These are the INTEX balls that are made in China with PVC and phthalate. That was very disappointing and the worst part was that my husband threw away the bag before I could tell them about the product error, so I couldn't even return them. If you are looking for phthalate and PVC free balls...DO NOT buy these!

Bad Cable - Broke off in projector
|
The ends of these cables are thin copper over a plastic stem. We were using for connection of a DVD player to a projector for a classroom. The cable did not work and then we wiggled the cable and got it to work. Then we pulled out the cable from the projector and the thin piece of copper covering the connector broke off inside of the projector. Took almost an hour to get it out. Save tim, stick to solid copper ended connectors!

Beautiful, Marvelous. A triumph.

Greg Bear's re-work of an older effort gives new meaning to the term Master. As a re-write of an earlier effort, Greg Bear once again proves he is the king of story telling. His most recent work describes the trials of a young man dealt a place in history he is ill-prepared for. In a present day setting, Bear takes the reader to the realm of folk lore with a magical twist. The earth itself is moved to a new level as magic and fate twist the balance of human existence. New dimensions of thought and history permeate this masterpiece. The story telling is classic Greg Bear.

I completely enjoyed this book written by Beryl Markham. Not only was she an aviator in Kenya back in the 1930's, but she was a compelling writer and poet.I think she was an amazing woman and reading her biography is uplifting to the spirit for all human kind. Amazon has a great resource for books you want to find and off fast, secure, and easy service. Get reading! I also reccomended this book to my friend at South University Online (go SOU).

Hot Male Yoga

I am very disappointed with this purchase. I knew it would be more of an erotic video that an actual instructional video when I ordered it. 10 minutes into my first viewing I realized the only value this DVD has is of an erotic purpose. Totally useless for yoga. If you want an actual instructional video look elsewhere.

one of the most powerful and misunderstood movies so far
|
The movie does a good job highlighting the different philosophies behind the "Old ways" (paganism) and Christianity. The movie also turns the mirror on Christianity a faith that has burned more than one 'witch'. "Wicker Man" can be disturbing to those who may not understand Paganism and fundamentalists. The full length version is the way to go. If you can find it. This movie needs to be made more available to the public!!!!!!!!

I've used this religiously during the day for about 6 weeks now (in conjunction with SPF 28 sunscreen and Reviva nighttime gel - at night) and I have seen a 95% improvement on my dark spots (cheek, upper lip, forehead)! The spots were mild to moderate to begin with, but after trying many natural products for 2+ years, I am thrilled with the results! I also now wear an SPF 50 hat during the day....not super sexy at 36 y/o, but at least I'm protecting my fair complexion from further sun damage and the awful sun spots.

avoid this book
|
Based on other good reviews I saw here on Amazon, I made an impulse purchase of this book for my Kindle, since I like science fiction.After reading about 5-6 pages, I realized I had made a mistake in purchasing it.The characterization is buffoonish and weak and the writing is awkward as well.Anways, if you have a Kindle, try to read the sample chapter instead of buying it outright. You will likely save yourself some money.

Not much instruction.
|
Larry Scholl is an experienced cartoonist. He did his best to teach three important, "hidden", cartoon drawing techniques which when used, will make your cartoon drawings more interesting and dynamic. However, I found the DVD to be short on instruction, and long in vintage cartoon movies. The toons selected were Felix The Cat:"Bold King Cole", Popeye:"Greek Mirthology", and Superman: "The Mechanical Monsters". I'd rather he used the classic cartoon movie time for more instruction. I was somewhat disapointed with the DVD, thus the two star review. There are better cartoon drawing DVDs out there, e.g. Bruce Blitz, Bob Ostrom, and Nils Osmar.

An ordinary man, cultural devastation, messianic solution
|
This was the first Cowper I read, it's also one of those incredibly satisfying books that I go back to time and again. The quality of writing is reminiscent of John Wyndham at his very best, and the plot and characters evolve and are tempered to an inevitable "absolution". Each time I read this book I find myself asking "what would I do in this situation of species death ?" Every time I hope it would be the morally right thing, but I suspect my courage. Cowper's compassionate understanding of his characters and their dilemmas enables us to walk in his world. His imagination is based firmly in our realities of personal selfishness and personal sacrifice. He soars beyond the immediate areas of species assumptions, expectations and gratification, into questions of values, intentions and outcomes. My thanks for making me think and question all this, as well as providing a wonderful parable of our times.

I won't recommend this seat because it moves around too much no matter what kind of toilet seat you it put on. Other seat that I purchased comes with non-skid/slide things that come with the seat that keeps the seat in place when your child sits on it, but this one has nothing to hold the seat in place and moves around way too much.

Great!

I quite liked this book. I loved Kristen, her spirit, her determination, her pride. Even though it sometimes kept her from what she wanted. But despite it all, she wasn't too stubborn. And I liked Royce. I liked the way he tried to resist Kristen but couldn't help himself. And I liked it that they actually spent some time together - I loved the time when they went to the lake. And I loved it when she saved him. And I loved it when she said to him that he could simply ask her to stay - but now he will never know if she would actually stay. What I didn't like, anyway, was the ending. I wanted them to decide to be together on their own, not because her parents arrived and forced him. Well, despite that, it was a beautiful story. Much better than her parent's. Or her brother's. I truly recommend this one.

THE WORST!

Don't buy Avent bottles. They LEAK! Yes I followed the instructions and pulled the nipple through the white ring then attached the clear dome cap and assembled that on to the bottle and they still leak. I've tried numerous times and they leak about 70% of the time. It's a waste of breastmilk and formula and so frustrtating. I switched to Dr. Brown's on a friend's recommendation who also had the leak problem w/ the Avent and they are great!

For most Europeans the 60 and early 70s youth rebellion are as well known to them as are the history of their own country (if not better).However for most people(as for me) what was going on with the youth in Russia at the time is a complete blank.This movie gives a nice insight into that time in Russia.Movie in general is great however the English subtitles are sometime shown for only a second and at other times they are outright wrong.Yanina Kalganova as Katya is unbelievably beautiful in this movie, worth the watch just for her.

Former guy is just a small headed MD who is jealous
|
This book is very informative in the diagnosis and treatment of many disorders. True it is written more for the chiropractor but if you look at the title of the book you might have an idea why it is written the way it is. The former reviewer is obvioulsy a MD or someone who does not believe in the chiropractic healing methods. He would rather rely on drugs and making drug companies happy than treating people the right way. I diagnosed my mother with subtrochanteric bursitis through this book. I am in my 8th tri of chiropractic school. Do you want to know how she was treated by MDs. A nerve block!!!! To the L4 nerve....now hmmmm maybe more MDs should read this book.

I like the fact that the spoon doesn't stain that is great, but I never want to use it because the shaft is so flimsy. So I recommend you buy it if you are only going to use for thin sauces. If you need a multi use spoon look somewhere else until they add a backbone to this one.

Loved It!
|
I was surprised by the mixed reviews of this book. I have read many Susan Conant books, and consider this as one of my top three favorites. I loved the change of setting, and the new characters were refreshing and had depth. I am hoping they will be recurring in Conant's upcoming books. Far from being disappointed with the development of Steve Delaney's character, I was thrilled that Conant took the risk~she successfully avoids the standard relationship storyline and creates something much more intriguing. And getting to know Buck was a welcome event. Most importantly, the Holly Winter character retains the strong, independent, and dog-loving nature that I love about her, and I look forward to more!

I usually give things the benefit of the doubt but this watch is terrible! My son recieved it from me for his birthday in May. Within a month there was water condesation in the face. He is quite careful too and tries to remember to remove it when showering, swimming, etc so this SHOULD NOT have happened. Then last week we noticed the band kept slipping, causing the watch to fall off of his arm. Well now, not even 2 months later, it has stopped running all together. Please save your money and don't buy this watch. If you will want this one though check out Target bc they have it for only $15 plus no shipping.

This is such an incredible bargain price and a great resource for the layperson. So why only 4 stars? Well, I'm a strong advocate of yoga and this author says to avoid certain postures. I understand his rationale but do not fully agree as I think the ability to perform each posture depends upon the individual's physical condition and judgment. Yoga has so many modifications/variations that it can be easily adapted. Otherwise this book goes into easily understood explanations for just about any muscular/skeletal condition and other important areas such as proper breathing techniques (believe it or not MOST folks do not breathe properly). I doubt anyone other than a physical therapist or physician would be disappointed in this fine, easy to read book.

jazz classic.

okay, all you yayhoos out there; want some great late night listening? something to relax and edify? well, put away all your new age cds, shuck old yanni in the trash bin, and pick up miles davis's bitches brew. no law says laid-back music can't be powerful and soulful. so here it is: just such music. miles trumpet displays a calm, beautiful and mysterious tone throughout this masterpiece. unconventional jazz to be sure, but accessible to anyone's ears. the great john mclaughlin adds fantastic touches of guitar to the recording, and other master musicians on board are: wayne shorter, chick corea, dave holland, and jack dejohnette. after you get this album and find out how much you love it (which you certainly will if there is a modicum of sanity about you), be sure to pick up "in a silent way," too. another classic miles album with a very similar vibe to bitches brew. happy listening.

It's boring
|
First of all, I wouldn't recommend buying this edition of the book because they couldn't even spell the author's name correctly.Regarding the book itself, I remember dragging myself through the pages as a high school freshman and asking myself why I had to end up with the only teacher who chose The Old Man and the Sea over Of Mice and Men. I recognized the metaphors about life, but I didn't care because the story just wasn't engaging. Eat raw dolphin, pee over the side of the boat, pull the fish. Rinse and repeat.I thought maybe re-reading it as an adult might change my perspective, but no. It's still boring. I didn't even finish it this time. I don't care what deeper message the story contains, I'm not going to read it if I have to fight to stay awake. If you want to read a good book by Ernest Hemingway, try A Farewell to Arms.

A lot of dust in the litter, but a fairly good product
|
I think this litter has more dust than the scoopable litters I typically use (when I would pour it into the litter box, quite a cloud of dust came up).As for the litter itself, I think it was pretty good. I think it controlled odors quite well, and seemed to clump nicely for scooping. I used it in the rolling cat litter box and the clumps stay tight through the "rolling and falling into the tray" process.I think they could improve on the packaging. The top of the bag didn't open easily so I had a ragged torn edge which caught litter as I poured from the bag into the litter box. For the "final pour" to empty the bag, quite a bit of litter fell every which way because of the ragged opening I had to pour through.

Good snack that's better for you than Cheetos
|
These are identical to Cheetos but without the cheesy coating. Instead, Robert's American Gourmet uses nutritional yeast, which allegedly adds nutritional value. Each 6 oz. bag has 900 calories, 108 g of carbs, 12 g of protein, and no vitamins or minerals. I'm not sure what the "nutritional yeast" add, but it's not clear that they add anything actually nutritional (at least according to the Nutritional Facts). However, these are a tasty and interesting alternative to Cheetos. I would recommend trying a bag before purchasing a box.

An expensively bad design
|
We bought this steamer to replace a much-used Black & Decker steamer that had finally worn out after seven years.Out of the box, the Rival looked pretty iffy - instead of sturdy one-piece molded steaming trays, each of the trays was composed of an outer ring with a removable bottom. Maybe this was to make cleanup easier, but in daily use it meant having to assemble each tray before using them. Nothing huge, but annoying. Another annoyance, was that while the trays looked like they were the same size, and were not marked as top or bottom, there was a definite size difference and stacking order that has to be followed.The big problem was that after a month of use we went from getting acceptable results on a variety of steamed items (rice, veggies, tofu) to having things come out unevenly or under-cooked. very disappointing.

Slicker then your average: More upbeat, club vibe to it then his first release "Born To Do It". Overall at a first listen I liked this one better then his first. With songs like "Rise and Fall" and "fast cars" heavily played in my cd player. But the reason i gave this album 4 stars instead of 5 though, was because ive only owned it for 2 weeks and i can see the songs getting played out fast, unlike "born to do it" which for me never gets old.

Typos and inconsistent

After only reviewing the book for about 45 minutes, I found some glaring problems.Over fifty pages to start the book on how to use Google and usenet newsgroups?!? I'm a beginner with Oracle 9i, not with a computer or on the internet. How about save the trees or provide say, ten pages on installation or command line reference (see last point).On page 11, "The company reaches 4,223 billion in sales" (That's over 4 trillion) Then sales fall to "5,684 million" in the next paragraph. OK.On Page 63, "NOTE: Even though Oracle runs on a wide assortment of computers, we will concentrate on Sun Solaris..."Then on to page 287, Oracle Enterprise Manager is breezed over with instructions on how to use it in Win 2K! Most of the screen shots in the book are windows dialogs. Not even a single note on use of the command line tools to start oem!Skip this one!

I personally don't find anything wrong with pageants. Although some of the moms were just unreal. You would think it was all about them!

A nice musical experience
|
A very nice highlight of the album is a poem by Paquito Navarro. Full of shear emotion and a powerful and moving recital that take really intrigues you with it's hipnotizing content and Paquito's truly enchanting voice that seems perfectly made for reciting. "Vamonos Pa'l Monte" as always delivers I don't care what album its on. "Somebody's Son" is a nice mix of a soulful/latin blend that I guarantee won't be an instant classic, but may still grab your attention. My only problem is the people that recorded this album (at least on the Import version of the CD) did not divide the tracks as you have 6 tracks advertised on the back cover and when you play the CD, there are only 2 tracks. It really makes it hard for you to search for particular songs on the 2 marathon of tracks. Besides this, it's not nearly as good as Vol 1., but still a nice pick worthy of being in your collection.

Ha-Ha, boy, was this funny?
|
The main problem with this movie: it was'nt that funny. I think I laughed once, maybe twice. Normally, Steve Carell is very funny; but he had nothing to work with here. Terence Stamp, a great actor, is totally wasted in this punishing film as the main villian, Siegfried. Anne Hathaway was completely forgettable as, er, I forget. And someone please tell Alan Arkin to stop sleeping on the set...oh, he was awake? Could of fooled me..One laugh was generated by Bill Murray, playing Agent 13. Besides that, I can't think of much else that made me laugh. This was a comedy? Good points: Nice crisp,clear picture and this was a free rental.

Not for Gifted Children at All
|
James Reed Campbell takes the term "gifted" and applies it to the characteristics of high achieving students. Although Campbell's repeated point throughout the book is communication between parents, children, and teachers is useful, he ignores the characteristics and academic and emotional needs of gifted children. He recommends strategies to parents that will inevitably set students up for debilitating perfectionism, disappointment, and failure - as he recommends the parents setting their children's life goals and directing their children to reach them. He recommends pressuring children into achieving these goals and doesn't take into account circumstances under which gifted children do not achieve to their potential. Campbell considers giftedness a condition that can be reached through hard work as opposed to it being a natural ability. As a school district gifted specialist, this would not ever be a book I would recommend to parents of gifted children.

Blurry

This book is terrible. If it wasn't only $5.95 I would return it. The pattern ideas are weak at best from what you can see of them. They are not crisp designs that you can scan or trace but blurry-edged designs that look more like torn paper art.

Not much redeeming value
|
I don't mind implausible stories, but only if the film makers can pull it off. I was sad to discover that Chris O'Donnell can't act. I hadn't noticed before because he was well cast in a few other roles, but fortunately never had to carry a story. Part of the problem might go to the director. In fact the director is highly suspect. The timing was off and there is no evidence that the man in charge had any clear view of what he wanted to bring out in the characters or storyline. I was sorry I spent the money on the rental. Don't bother.

Very questionable book
|
Unfortunately, some bad news has come out on Al Stump. He seems to have stolen memorabilia from Cobb and forged quite a few Cobb documents. These activities, at the very least, call into question the accuracy of this biography. For details on Stump, check out Rob Neyer's SweetSpot blog entry (Friday Filberts) for August 6, 2010 posted to the site of the world-wide leader in sports. [I don't think I'm allowed to name the site or post a link.] Or do a search on William R. Cobb and The Georgia Peach and you can find the relevant article.

most horrible movie ever
|
ok. im dead serious when i say this... this is the worst movie ive ever seen. ever. no exageratation. this one is right at the bottom of the list resting just underneith darkness falls and jeepers creepers. its sooooo cheesy. i mean... seriously... its got a nice setup... your asking yourself "does this child even exist?" etc... it wouldve been a nice psychologocal thriller... but instead? they go for the cheesiest possible ending ive ever seen. ill spare details in case anybody cares about spoilers etc... but honestly... this movie is not worth a glance at the cover let alone a rental or purchase.

Great story about a great man in interesting times
|
I learned that Roger Williams is a relative of mine so I wanted to learn about his philosophy and integrity. This book did not disappoint. In fact, I am now fascinated with history which I had not been before this book. The descriptions of the times and lives of the people are so well written about that I found myself wanting to continue the journey in time. Like I said, I am not a history buff but if you just want a good story of interesting events and people -this book has it.

I almost didn't get this to play on my bluray player. I may need a firmware upgrade. Anyway the movie was good however I was thinking there would be more dancing in the movie....from what I remember from the older one. also the girl that was on 'so you think you can dance' really wasn't in the movie very much and that was a big advertising point for the movie.

Not for people with lots of long pet hair!!!!
|
I have a Golden Retriever and a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. The first time I used this vacuum I was very impressed with the suction - until the agitator belt came off! The very first time I used it, it came off. I looked at the brush roller in the power head and it had lots of dog hair wrapped around it. I'm not sure if that's what made it come off, but it's a pain to repair the belt. Not only do you have to unscrew 3 screws to take the power head cover off, but then unscrew 2 more screws to uncover the roller brush. We have almost all hardwood floors - the belt snapped off when I came to an entryway rug to vacuum and turned on the power to the roller brush.I also did not like the dirt cup. If you have long haired dogs or cats, the quantity of hair being sucked up will fill the cup to the max line very quickly.Needless to say, I wrapped it up and sent it back immediately. I'm ready to shell out some bucks now. On to Meile!!!

Must have for camping
|
Must have for camping.A No spill cap was included (not shown) was a nice plus and makes carry/clean up easy.Only downside is the contact edges where the plastic mold seams come together are very sharp and can cut you, if you press it against you, as the instructions state.Would have given 5 stars if the edges were smooth.

Excellent product, a snap to set up
|
I wanted to provide this review because all the ones I read before buying the router were several years old. This router is super easy to set up and it works great. When you use the CD and set up the router the software automatically searches for updates, and installs any that are needed, which is great. I have Vista on my laptop and worried that there might be one of those dreaded compatibility problems, but no problems at all!Also, my internet connection (wired) was fast before, but now it is SMOKIN'! I easily connected my two computers and now have my laptop free to roam the house and go out on the patio or in the yard and still be able to connect with the internet effectively.Works great! Easy to set up! What's not to like?

Sooooooo Disappointed!
|
I have read all of Eric Jerome Dickey's books and a couple of them, I have re-read twice. So when I saw that he had a new novel out, I rushed to get it. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. This book is horrible! I can understand the message he might be trying to convey, however, the language and descriptions are too graphic and unnecessary. This novel reads like one of those trashy novels that I would never bend the cover on, and I wish that I had not paid full price for a hardcover edition of this book.

where's the beef?
|
When you buy a book called submission wrestling, wouldn't you expect to see a lot about submission holds? Well, maybe some people wouldn't, but I did. Though his book doesn't give out false, or bad information, the information within could be easily found on a few websites involving submission fighting, submission wrestling or brazilian jiu-jitsu.Perhaps the next book will contain more information about submissions and control and less self-promotion. I doubt I would risk spending the money on it. If you want a more comprehensive book I'd go with Gene LaBels new title or the fighters notebook, which contain more unique and well illustrated submissions that I can count.

I live in a very old building with cast iron pipes. The sediment and taste of the water was just awful, not to mention what it was doing to my coffeemaker and humidifier. This system works great at removing sediment and off tastes to my water.

i had my copy burned...

literally, i did. this game wasted my time. i mean, whats the point of entering an event that you dont do anything in. you just sit and watch little animated characters do their little swivels around the bends and such, doing absolutely nothing in the process. you gain no speed on the skiing events, bobled/luge events, or the others. I highly recommend you go and buy something worth buying. you would probably have more fun with a toothpic than with this game.

As a reader just finishing the final pages of 'Desktop Video Studio Bible', I must say I totally enjoyed it. This is an excellent guideline to starting and maintaining a business. I'll keep this as a reference for years.My wife and I have recently started a media production business on the side as presently we both work for a large computer company. I have been in the engineering related field for over 20 years. We got started in this media business at home doing simple home movies and transferring video tape. Slowly the word spread at work and among friends and before too long we saw a nucleus for a potential business. This spring we presented a surprise 40th birthday video produced by our company at a party hosting about 80 people. It was a great success and was a rush and now we are hooked. Maybe this was a peripheral effect of the "Really Big Thing"? Read this book to find out about the "Really Big Thing".

Mindblast from the Past

An absolutely incredible read- from one of the Masters. One feels that they are reading a contemporary author- Sterling or Stephenson, with the level of immersion that you get with Bester's world. This story is SO far ahead of its time. Plan to read this in one sitting.

Not what I expected
|
I was disappointed in this book when I received it. I was looking for ways to make my H.S. History class more exciting, but I found that most of the suggestions in the book were geared more for the elementary school levels. The format of the book is set-up more like a comic book than an academic book and is filled with cartoon drawings and funny sayings. Although it was fun to read, I really did not feel that I acquired any useful knowledge from it1

hmm...

Well, it looks as if I'm in the minority here but I have to say that I didn't think this book was that great. It was very predictable and I never found myself really caring much about the characters.The references to Silence of the Lambs made me laugh once I had finished the book. Starling's characters come nowhere near the complexity of those in the Harris novels. I do agree however that it follows Seven very closely.The one good thing I have to say is that the book is a quick read and easy to follow.

Not even close to ready for prime time
|
I have many complaints about this program - too numerous to mention. Here are just a few of my biggest...The program has not been thoroughly tested. It's buggy and not well thought out.It does not include all of the forms that I needed (and, as of January 31 2006, were not yet available for download).The program does not allow the user to choose where to save the tax return, so backing up your return is exceedingly clumsy.The interview starts from the beginning each time you open a return that you've been working on, instead of remembering where you left off.Support line for TaxCut is horrendous - long wait times and the reps have no idea about how TaxCut Business works.Stay far away from this product!

My son had bad reflux when he was born. The first 2 months he slept in his infant carrier. We finally found this product and thought it looked so comfy, so we bought it. It worked, my son slept in this until he was 6 months. I sat up just enough so he wasnt flat and it was more roomy than regular swings.

The Nativity Story DVD Has Wrong Format
|
The Nativity Story DVDWhen we received the DVD, we found out that it was formatted for viewing on DVDs in the United Kingdom. We could not view the DVD. This fact was not mentioned in the sales ad for the DVD and we had no reason to expect this would be the case.We e-mailed the supplier and asked them what they or we could do to rectify the situation. We received no response. The CD is of no value to us and we feel that the ad was misleading or incomplete.

This gave me added motivation that I needed.
|
I really am pleased with my purchase of this pedometer. Anyone purchasing one has to first realize that it is just a gadget, it won't help you lose weight, unless YOU do the workout! What it's done for me is motivate me to walk more steps each day and to make a good portion of those steps at a brisker pace. I've been wearing mine for about 3 weeks now, increased my speed and my steps and have lost 8 lbs. already. Great motivational tool for me. Only drawback is the pulse feature, it's sometimes hard to get it to read the pulse.

You'll be seven years old again...

if you grew up watching the Little Rascals, this cd will take you back to sitting in front of the tv ("Move back or you'll go blind!")when you were little. The Beau Hunks are absolutely astounding in their recreation of Leroy Shield's compositions. As it says in the liner notes, they achieve "note for note accuracy". If you don't have this cd, find it and buy it. You won't regret it.
