FANTASTIC Book !!!
|
As a beginner in saltwater aquariums, I have bought numerous books now but this by far is the best! I got it used & cheap from a used bookstore on Amazon and it was so worth it. Its very thick and packed full of information.....information that a beginner can actually understand! And this writer is realllly funny ! I have laughed out loud reading this book. He just throws in these little wise-cracks once in awhile and it just makes it that much for fun to read. This is a must for anyone who is just starting in saltwater aquariums or considering it. In fact, buy this book 1st if you can, before you even go get your aquarium. It starts out with picking out an aquarium, what supplies you need, what not to waste your money on, then up the fish to get, what to feed them, and how to keep them healty.

S&W Survival Black Camo Knife Full Tang Homeland Security ; Review
|
The first thing that come to mind when you think about a "survival knife", is that it should be strong, thick, sturdy, reliable and able to support all unexpectable situations that may occur, a good gripping and, if possible , a brand that suggest tradition in craftmanship, and last, but not least, a good value.I have others knives, some of high value, but this one doesn't stay behind to none of them. I'm sure you'll be happy with it, and soon will return to get other one, like me.I really recommend.

Move away from the VCR!
|
I see from other reviewers that I am not the only one who has noticed that Christina Dodd has watched "Sabrina" a few too many times. Unfortunately, unlike others, I do not see this novel as an "homage", but rather outright copying. I realize that there are few truly original plots left in the world, but the first half of this book borrows so heavily from the movie that I can almost see the stage directions in the margins of the script, excuse me, text. Since I was on vacation and didn't have another book with me, I slogged through to the end and ended up being mildly entertained. However, I have come to expect much better from Christina Dodd and hope that whatever publishing house deadline demands led to this heavy-handed plot borrowing do not present a similar problem in the future.

Great Story
|
Just like the back cover copy says, this one is truly something wonderful! I couldn't put the book down. The characters sparkle from beginning to end. Nick is honorable and intelligent with a yummy touch of wicked thrown in. I love the letters he writes in the Pillow Book to seduce Sarah. Ms. Dawson's sense of humor shines in this story. THE BAD LUCK WEDDING NIGHT is a keeper!

This is ridiculous

I live in the mountains of North Carolina and engage in many fun wilderness activities, and I was thinking that I would need a nice, simple mp3 player to suit my needs.This mp3 player has 64 megabytes of space. It is horrible.512 mb = 120 songs256mb = 60 songs128 mb = 30 songs64 mb = 15 songsThat's ABOUT what the sizes are. I can't even fit a whole King Crimson CD on it. Hell, I can't even fit a whole King Crimson SONG on it. How bad is that?Either way, no matter who you are, you don't need this thing. Hell, it's 100 dollars anyway. Buy some other mp3 player that has more space and get happy. Go for a Creative Zen or something.Jesus.And don't talk to me about "upgrade cards" because those are even more retarded.1/5 stars

Irritating!
|
I dont like these. I thought they would be great to have an all matching set for the bathrooms, closet, etc. I hate the way the fabric bag ties to it inside. When I take it out the wash once in a while it is a pain. So much so that they have sat downstairs in the laundry room for months now. I just don't use them anymore. THe fabric bag has torn so its really hard to tie. I'm sure there are a million better options. Not a good deal! I've even sold two of the piece this last summer at a yard sale. Only have the smallest backset on my husbands dresser for his things and the largest hamper downstairs being ignored.

not what they said
|
I read the review for the Sharp and a few said that the light did not stay on when the door opened. I called the Sharp company, and they say it did, lights stay on as soon as the door is opened, on and after. That was a blatant lie. The light is on when you push on only. When you close the door, it closes with a loud "bam", no matter when pushed gently or just closed, so I just leave it open til I need to use it again. That crowds the counter space. The see-through window is awkward to see through, probably design fault. I would not recommend buying this particulr model.

Tom Selleck-Jesse Stone

I think this series of movies is an ideal part for Tom Selleck. Sometimes maybe a little brooding, but that is the nature of the stories and the natuare of his character. Tom has played a variety of movies in his career and I have enjoyed every part he has played.

I saw numerous good reviews of the CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker. I should not have ignored those that were not complimentary. I have had this product for two months and the pressure cook feature has worked only ONE time. Now the unit will do nothing except beep when it's turned on. Save yourself $100 or spend it on something useful! If I could have rated this product "no stars", I would have done so.

Willis Harman's finest book
|
Willis Harman's "An Incomplete Guide to the Future" started me on future studies, and his writings have helped focus my studies since. "Global Mind Change" is a powerful statement, digging deep into our language and assumptions as he explores the history and current thought in humanity's attempts to define reality through science. A must read for the new century, and an excellent text for interdisciplinary social and scientific studies.

how is this considered music?
|
I wonder if they know what rythem or a beat is? I have been playing music for 8 years now and I can't even imagine how they wrote this piece of garbage. Garbage is actually praising this CD because it seriously is worse than my dog's vomit. Buy a metronome so you can keep a f**king beat. This isn't anything new or experimental. It's just atrocious.Also, write some better lyrics and find a better singer. Babini is really flat half the time. My dog can vomit better lyrics and sing better than whats on this CD. Well, at least now I can use this CD to clean up my dog's vomit. Dont buy this because it is just a 10 dollar paper towel.In the end, you can't even burn this CD well because the plastic fumes can kill you. Maybe someone can burn it in front of this band so they never again will produce such crap.

chika boom boom boom

I loved it all, right down to the last little peyote button. The les\gay\girl love thing doesn't bother me one iota, insofar as whatever floats your boat, but I always associated it with a certain amount of underlying ickiness(the physical part)- The cowgirls helped me immensely, not to say that I find the lifestyle any more personally appealing, but I can finally see it as sweet- no less pure than any other kind of lust. Now I just have to work through my feelings about Sissy and the Chink- the age difference thing completely grosses me out, like makin' it with grandpa or something. Aside from that one rather personal hang-up, I say drop out of life for a few days because once you start reading you won't be able to stop. (please note: possible tom robinson(to kill a mockingbird) allusion in Jelly Bean? just wondering.)

boring, boring, boring from a good band
|
of the four ex albums i own, this is far and away the most boring and expendable. i saw them on this tour and the songs from this album were great, so i suspect that they recorded the thing before the songs had fully gelled. fortunately at their show, they had all their out-of-print discs for sale so i got to pick up "scrabbling the locks," which is their best. "starters alternators" just might be their worst...

Never delivered by Supa Dupa

Supa Dupa never delivered the product. The delivery date was specified as between December 3 and December 20. It's still not arrived, despite having been paid for - I checked on that this week.I've sent TWO messages to Supa Dupa, a week apart, and still have not heard back. This is a great disappointment, as I was expecting it to be delivered before Christmas.If I could give NO stars, I would. I have no idea whether the actual battery would be any good, since it has not been delivered, over a month after my account being charged.

The witchesI would give the witches by Roald Dahl five stars.This book is about an orphan kid who lives with his grandma in Norway. They then have to move to England because of his school. They live in a hotel and his granda tells him story's about witches. The boy finds out that there are witches in the hotel. While playing with his mice. The boy gets him self into trouble by getting too close to the witches. They smell him out and turned him into a mouse.I like this book because it had a lot of action and adventure in it. Also, I liked the way Roald Dahl phrased the story. I would recommend the this book to kids because it is funny and its has action-packed!

Worst ending for a book ever...
|
Tom, you should have kept Lecter in jail. While he was incarcerated, he was far more creepy and threatening. Once he escapes, he becomes omnipotent, and thus, far less interesting. During the course of the book, we learn that Hannibal Lecter can: read people's minds, hypnotize animals, kill anyone at anytime anywhere in the most complex way with absolutley no forethought, outwit the entire world, flasify any document no matter how complex, speak 18 languages, whip up gourmet meals made of brains, and convince Agent Starling that she's his wife. The lead-in to the last few chapters was great, and is totally ruined by the ending which seems like it was written as an afterthought. If you liked Silence of the Lambs, this book will piss you off! There's a reason why Jody Foster refused to play Clarice in the movie adaptation of Hannibal! Trust me on this one...

I can't explain how upset I am! I ordered espresso (like the last reviewer) but received Black. My order read black, but I know I did not register for nor order black. Amazon is seriously messed up, they say it is my fault for ordering "the wrong color" so I have to pay for the return shipping! My husband and I are currently stationed (US Coast Guard) in Puerto Rico so the cost to ship it back isn't even worth it! Now I'm going to have all espresso furniture with a BLACK dresser!!! So mad with Amazon's horrible customer service! DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM UNLESS YOU WANT IT IN BLACK!!!

I ROFL'd

I seen this movie on TV some years ago and as far as I can remember I liked it. I purchsed the movie a couple days ago and watched it last night.. and all I can say is ROFL!This show was REALLY bad and I love all kinds of weird creepy alien movies. The first time I seen the aliens I about fell out of my bed laughing. I can't believe how stupid they were. The movie doesn't flow really well its one scene after another with black scence in between (feels like its going to commercial).I'm glad to have the movie so that its part of my collection of werid alien movies, but probably not something I well really ever watch again. Its way too boring, and just doesn't feel like other alien movies.Lots of people keep comparing this movie to Signs, and that's not really fair because Signs was nothing like this movie, and it was a million times better!

Vague
|
Here's the straight dope on this, despite all the raving. Although this claims to be a breakthrough technique that constitutes more than just meditation, it really is nothing more than an attempted resynthesis of the age old vipassna meditation. This synthesis is hopelessly vague, poorly articulated, and overly verbose without being adequqtely descriptive. I gave it two weeks and found it unexecutable.Even mystical Buddhism is more logical by comparison. If you're the touchy feely type who is satisfied with no more than simple suggestion, then it might be woth the seven bucks, threfore, 2 stars.

Cute way to subtly teach children how to act like spoiled brats
|
This story definitely has an agenda. It is very cute, I must admit, but I would never read this to my child because it promotes values that I do not want to instill in my children. The cows (and chickens) in the story become discontent with living like every other cow lives. It is not enough that the cows are fed, live in a barn, and are well provided for...they want more! So they appeal to the farmer, refusing to do their part to contribute, until the farmer meets their "demands." In my opinion, this story teaches children that making unrealistic demands is okay and, even worse, that you can act like a spoiled brat and get your way! Too bad the cows aren't being grateful for what they have and trying to help less fortunate cows by welcoming them into their barn at night instead...then I might read this story to my children.

This book shows just what a master Stephen King is of modern horror. It's amazing how he can keep this story going even after a decade and a half and 2,00 pages. If your a fan of King's work, you'll be reading this book from start to finish non-stop!

snooze fest
|
I have been following Frisell since his ECM years and all of those albums out shine most of his current material. His playing has mellowed with age. What put Frisell on the map in the first place, his loops and delays and unique approach is almost gone. Check out Naked City or his ECM albums and you will hear his screaming, otherworldly tones that are almost all gone. He has taken the guitar to further places than anyone since Hendrix, and that is all gone. The reviewers of this album must discover his earlier more aggressive exploring of the guitar, still ethereal and supportive yet more urgent and rockin'. I highly recommend Mark Johnson's Bass Desires with Scofield, or Frisell's Lookout for Hope or Before We Were Born. I guess I'm not into his country and americana leanings which other musicians do better -

Wonderful!! Watch it twice or you are missing out!
|
The first time I saw this movie in the theater, I remember liking it but being so sad at the end. Nevertheless, as I love Drew and Adam, I bought it on DVD when it came out. I couldn't believe how much I laughed!! Now that I knew the ending, it wasn't so sad that I missed the rest of the movie. There are so many clever scenes in this movie that I think people forget if they just watch it once. When Drew attacks Rob Schneider with a bat! When Adam jokes with his walrus and penguin! When Adam apologizes to Drew for not being better looking! I can go on and on.This is the movie my husband and I put on when we want to laugh and cuddle on the couch on Friday night. It's perfect!

Kuhn Y peeler
|
I have used my peeler for over 10 years and have found it to be the best, the sharpest, and the easiest to get into tight spaces (such as around baby carrot tops). I have searched local stores purchasing at least 6 potential replacements over the years and the closest match is a Japanese ceramic Y which is 4X the cost. The others have been passed on to friends and relatives (and a few enemies). A great value. Having read the other review, I concur with the weight observation; but find that I prefer the light weight.

I bought this pan 18 months ago and after using it several times a week, it still works as excellently as the day it arrived. I don't expect non-stick to last forever, yet this pan is still going strong. The stainless construction allows use on our induction cooktop, and we also use it on a gas rangetop with great results. The skillet has a good shape and the handle is very comfortable. I would purchase this pan again.

One of the worst movies ever
|
I wonder if the producers knew how horrible this movie was before they foisted it on the public? Others have gone into the details about why it's so bad. Suffice it to say that had Michael Corleone flown through space with no protective gear and had no ill effects from it, the Godfather would've received 1 star. So this film, in combination with all its other horrible elements, deserves negative stars. Ugh - what a waste of time.

Ezzo Success Story
|
One of the reviews for this book refers to the the "schedule" feeding of babies up to 8 weeks old. In response to their review, I would like to recommend that parents consider the value of looking at the Babywise series. We know many parents who have followed the feeding plan suggested by the Ezzos (by the way, they do not call for strict schedule feeding but, instead, for a feeding process that is flexible and family-centered). In fact, all the parents we know who have followed the Babywise principles have had their children sleeping 6-8 hours at night by the time their baby was 6 weeks old.I think all of the Ezzo books are fantastic for learning how to raise a child to be self-confident, secure, and others-centered rather than self-centered.

I was amazed and the nonsense in this book! The idea you could lose weight by eating protein with everything, and I mean anything, just does not fit.

This book would be good for those who do not really want to lose weight, but like to read about it.

When they all turn up to record "Feed the World" the ahem Irish banter between Geldof and Boy George is on the lines of "You great queen" and "You big lummox". How thrilling it must have been to witness this - how cool that they could be witty as well as so musically talented.Midge Ure is hardly mentioned these days.When he meets Paula Yates for the first time, she blows him in a taxi. How much did their kids benefit from reading that?

Be careful when using this pan, as the recipe they gave, and the timing, ended up with stuck cakes.You need to check the cakes at 25-30 min and you need some spray or butter in the pan to prevent it stickingDid not find this pan to be non-stick.

Not Bad for the Price
|
I bought a white model for half the price about 18 months ago on Amazon.com. I don't understand the price hike unless it's due to the scarcity of docks that support older iPods. (I'm speculating on this point). Anyway, my model has worked well when plugged in. I can't speak to battery life having only used it on one picnic. But it lasted 4 hours that time. Otherwise, the audio's not great but passable for a low-end, light-weight portable box setup, and the remote's worked fine.

It's not perfect, but a definite help
|
I teach American literature to 11th graders in Compton,CA. For my needs, I found this teacher's guide to be somewhat helpful but also lacking in certain areas. The strengths: chapter-by-chapter discussion/study guide questions, multiple choice quiz questions, vocabulary suggestions (but the activities are fairly repetitive and uninspired). There is also an interesting research project that you would have to map out from the very beginning. I wasn't able to use it this time but plan to next year. I was really hoping for--but did not find--ideas for activities to deepen students' understanding of the novel, e.g., theme, symbolism, and characterization activities. As a consequence, we tended to stick to the literal/historical level of the text and didn't spend much time investigating deeper levels. Since this is probably the longest book many of my students have ever read, though, that's still a big accomplishment!

Terrible adaptation of a CLAMP classic
|
The North American 'adaptation' of the show Card Captor Sakura is an insult to the the orignal japanese manga-ka CLAMP. Hardly any of the whimsical air to the orignal version has been spared and has been turned into a less than acceptable piece of policital-correctness by the North American distributor Nelvana. The wonderful plot and characters has been destoryed in favor of drastic character and plot changes, meaningless edits, terrible background music, sub-par voice acting, and the deletion/rearrangment of episodes.To truly enjoy Card Captor Sakura as it was ment to me, I'd reccomend the subtitled DVD by Pioneer or the orignal manga (at least Mixx's graphic novels or better yet the Kodansha bilingual editions)

Confused look at ATL
|
While I respect the authors as programmers since this book does contain some valuable information, they have no business writing books. This book spends all of its effort discussing how COM works and then how ATL was implemented and provides little insight on how to actually use ATL. After reading this book I was very discouraged from using ATL. Few things are adequately explained. I wonder who the target audience for this book is? It is certainly not ActiveX developers. The second half of the book is superior to the first half. Inside COM, by Rogerson, puts Inside ATL to shame.

The End is here...

When John Bonham died...Led Zep called it a day...when Steven Clark died Def Leppard should have.This ablum is the Hysteria scrap heap (admittedly so by the band)...The band lost is chemistry (and all ability to write wicked riffs) when their most talented member, Clark, passed away. A true shame that one of the greatest bands ever continues to destroy their legacy because there is money to be made.Save your cash and buy High N' Dry, Pyromania and Hysteria...3 incredibly great albums.Joe Elliot said that after Hysteria (albeit much after) they could have released an album of Bee Farts and sold millions....Adrenalize has sold over 7 million copies...for an album so bad and so out of place in 1992, that speaks volumes for DL's enormous popularity in the late 1980's.

Lots of money for no performance increase
|
Please do some research on HDMI (or Monster Cables in general). Monster cable is a good product, but you can purchase other cables from other companies for 1/10th the price. As long as the cable is a quality cable the signal delivered to the TV is the SAME! It is a digital signal -not analog. Go to an unbiased audio video blog or review site and they will set you straight, but by all mean is you have the excess money laying around buy the Monster.

Just what I Needed
|
I love this item. The size makes it very easy to fit places. The vocabulary and structure is easy for me understand. The font is kind of small, but not too small. I have no complaints.

Very basic overview
|
While the book indeed produces a basic overview of Peruvian cuisine and its complexities, it is lacking all but the most simplistic histories and evolutions of Peruvian cuisine. The writing is neither compelling nor particularly well organized and edited. I was hoping for more.

Quality for custom creations
|
These small magnets are perfect for bracelets and lighter-weight necklaces. It is true that there are different magnetic strengths and sizes - think about what you need the clasp for, and then you will know which clasp to buy. I have used these successfully on many bracelets and necklaces and have never had a customer complaint. These are a great price, too.

deep meditative music
|
I first heard the Gundecha Brothers live on a recent trip to India. It was at the annual music festival for Swami Vivakanada's birthday in Kolkata jan 2007. I was amazed at their amazing technique, beautiful tone and incredible sound. This recording recreates the spirit of that concert. Although recorded at a live festival in 2001, the sound quality is excellent as is the performance of this wonderful jugalbandi or duet performance. Dhrupad is one of the most ancient vocal forms of India and has it's roots in Vedic chanting, a 2000 year old tradition. Given the time needed for appreciation, this music will captivate and reward the listener with it's deeply meditative quality.

rebel poet
|
Miller's provocative work describes the anguish of the poet and outsider, drawing parallels between his own life and that of the tortured Rimbaud. Miller paints a picture of Rimbaud as the quintessential rebel who sought truth through poetry, derangement of the senses, and exile to a harsh and unforgiving landscape. Miller blends topics such as death, the adventurous life and transcendence into one compelling narrative.

Excellent strategy game!
|
I got this game for my birthday (I'm 35) and I love it! It's like a high-tech version of chess. Definitely makes you think hard and try to plot out your moves many steps in advance. It's especially tricky because you have to simultaneously think offensively and defensively. If you like classic strategic boardgames, you'll love this game.

I'm a Fan of Paula Now
|
This book has saved me hundreds of dollars. After reading this book, I looked in my bathroom at the drawers of half-used skin care products and realized how much money I wasted over the years following the false promises of the department store salespeople. My skin still looked horrible. Paula focuses her reviews on product ingredients, not the price. I was amazed to discover how many different cosmetics lines are owned by the same companies. I won't buy anything at a drugstore or department store without consulting the book first!I am now using Paula's skin care products (Paula's Choice) almost exclusively. My skin has never looked better. Her products are no-nonsense, no false promises, no fancy packages --just down-to-earth basic skin care. (Just like the book.)

Make sure you read the fine print. IT states that this DVD may not work on DVD players in the USA and Canada. They were right, it did not work and it took time to get refund.

Just Saw Prince Last Night!!!
|
I just saw Prince in concert last night in Raleigh, NC. In spite of the fact that he has toned down his sexual antics on the stage, he is still one of the most sensual and soulful performers of all time. They were handing out this CD upon entry to the concert so I didn't really expect it to be that good. I have been listening to it today and the more I hear it, the more I like it. It just grooves you! I especially love "On the Couch" and "Call My Name". These are so reminiscent of the music that my generation made out to, but the lyrics aren't nearly as raw. The base and drums are awesome on many of the tracks. He showcases his guitar playing skills a little more than in the past, but still not enough. I wish he would put out an acoustic album to let his fans hear what we heard in concert. He's still got it!

Prepare for disappointment
|
This is one of the worst movies of 2011. Who ever wrote the script, produced and directed this movie should be ashamed. Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and especially Naomi Watts talents are totally squandered. The advertising for this movie entirely misrepresents what type of movie it is. Don't waste your time or your money.

Thanks for all the reviews

After hearing a review of the book on the radio, I was thinking of purchasing this book; however, after reading the reviews - I think I'll pass!!!If it's full of "LIES" - no thanks - I'll spend my money on something more worthwhile.My thanks to Mary "Southie Born" - I'll believe you before I do Shea - again thanks for your honest input.

too academic
|
I just got this book and tried reading it. I thought this would be a great book about the harm that the forced Christian conversion of Europe did. But it is the most boring and quote-happy book I have read. It reminds me of some of the French philosophy books I read in high school and university, too verbose and quoting almost exclusivly other French philosophers, as if they are the only people who know anything. It was just too hard to follow, too boring to keep up with and too frustrating. This might be the authors fault or the translators for failing to keep a better flow to the book. My advice, only buy the book if you want to have an interesting collection, or if you want to have brainfarts.

Not a 5-star CD, but pretty darn good!
|
How someone feels about this release is going to depend completely on what "realm" of jazz he/she is into. If you're into classic "traditional" jazz, this may not be for you. This is full of complex rhythms and wacky progressions, all of which are performed seamlessly. No...this is NOT background music. This is music that requires an ear for minute details. In my opinion, it's an album that represents the Elektric Band's epitome of group composition. They couldn't have gone any further with their music...thus Beneath the Mask came next and was a dud.

Not everyday food
|
I bought this book looking for every day type of easy low carb dishes. This is not the kind of food that I or my family can or would eat every day. There is alot of emphasis placed on German/Eastern European food. For instance there are six (6) bratwurst recipes, six kielbasa recipes,(3) red cabbage recipes, and other things that we just wouldn't make at the end of a day. I also think the book is in an unappealing format with the recipes appearing in a grid. There are no pictures. Its rather sterile. I let my daughter play with it. Sorry.

It doesn't live up to the high praise
|
Everyone is telling me how the debut album is meant to be amazing and almost as good as Puppets. I listened to it loads and decided what utter trash it was. Don't waste your money on it, and buy a good album like 'ride the lightning', master of puppets' or'...andjustice for all'

Give me some decent writers!
|
Okay where is the science in this show? It is suppose to be a science fiction show? It looked to me, more like a war story. Surely the producers could have hired a scientist to help them out and put some in.At the start the series showed promise and I was hoping once it warned up it would get better like B5 did but instead this one went worse.Like many stories, this one failed with the writers. The acting is quite good. I thought that Mary McDonnell played well as did Edward James Olmos. Also I liked the special effects too.In 4.5, many scenes that were clearly suppose to move me did not. Several seemed a repeat of earlier ones in the show.Nor did the ending make sense. No way would an advanced civilization allow itself to collapse back to pre-stone age. Why destroy the ships?

The best Playstation Game ever made.
|
This Game is challenging, yet not too hard to play, so I didnt find myself banging my head against the floor in anguish, trying to finish it. It was long, yet entertaining...every minute. It is the ONLY Game is the 5 years of playing games (computer & Playstation) that I will play again. As a horror fan, I loved Fatal Frame and Silent Hill and fancied Resident Evil...But now this game tops every game Ive ever played. Scary...exciting...Interesting. Controls were cool too. In the past I had a hard time with Resident evil controls; eventually catching on. I look forward to Resident evil 5, and I heard it is only going to be released on x-box 360. I may be wrong...but if it is, Im buying an x-box 360!

Not very good
|
For some reason this band has become VERY popular (almost to the extent of Atreyu)... yet, i do not know why. There is nothing special baout these guys, I've heard all of it before. They are very repetitive and it gets rather boring. The screamer is alright, but not very original. So in short, don't buy it and waste your money

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

My sister bought this item for my daughter. I don't know why the battery pack has to be attached to the toy. It is not connecting tight enough and therefore not working. I attached it to the crib and actually had to stand there holding the battery pack so my daughter can enjoy the lights and music.I am throwing it out. I am going to hook up the one my older daughter used two years ago that didn't require a separate battery pack.

CHEAP BOOTLEG COPY

Rhapsody in BlueMGM/Turner, the company who released this movie on VHS, has never released it on DVD. Any copies that are on DVD are just that- COPIES. The 'region free' coding should be a tip-off that it's a rip-off.

Second Time Was A Charm
|
I first heard clips of this CD several years ago and they didnt prompt me to purchase it. I didnt enjoy it at all. (I was looking for a new CD to play during my Reiki and massage sessions.)I ran into it again tonight and decided to purchase it on a whim. Today was a very stressful day for me and the CD turned out to be a treat! It relaxed my mind and my body! I usually dont write reviews but felt I should write one on this to let people know that it may take several tries to warm up to the music. It does have a unique flavor to it.

Misleading picture
|
I was very disappointed when my friend opened this on Christmas as it is only butterflies, no dragonflies as pictured both on the listing and also the picture on the box. I bought this because dragonflies hold a special significance for my friend, so basically it ruined the gift I intended. I chose the purple item when I ordered due to the dragonflies pictured. Be aware that if you purchase this you may not get what you see.

BEWARE! The description posted on this page IS NOT for a PRG 70T; there are about 10 features on this page that the PRG 70T simply does not have. The description here is for a PRG 80T a far superior and more expensive watch... very deceptive indeed!

Too cheap! Scratches too easily!
|
This product is flimsy and looks cheap. It arrived already scratched because the packaging didn't protect it. It is basically ten of those plastic frames you might put on the fridge combined into one unit. I like the concept of a collage frame with the depth it creates, but this all plastic one looks too cheap for me to hang in the house.

REFURBISHED hard-drive in a VERY LOW-QUALITY enclosure
|
Be forewarned that this drive -- like all MDT products -- is REFURBISHED/RECERTIFIED (and NOT brand new). Moreover, based on my past experience with equipment sold by NARRO, his enclosures are VERY low quality; they tend to breakdown within a year, leaving you with an internal drive only (which, as mentioned earlier, is REFURBISHED to begin with!). While I have nothing against this particular seller (who is re-selling so-called "new" equipment that he/she purchased), I do advise buyers NOT to purchase products that were originally marketed by NARRO!
