Race to the bottom
Another book of wisdom and common sense to those who have lost their minds in the day to day life.

A poor effort with little truth esposed by Mr. Albom
Mr. Albom's first work, Tuesdays with Morrie, was a substantially much better book. Why?Because it was honest, straight from the gut writing, albiet not from Mr. Albom, but from Morrie.This book it is clearly evident that Albom is "faking" his way trying to espose meaning and purpose to those who never really had any and never will.Utterly Pedantic.

The extra disc
I find it hilarious that the main selling point for this DVD is what is featured on the extra disc. Why else buy it? The speical edition is available in two other releases that came out in the past 2 years. Well, my dear Star Wars...to think it's come to this. RIP Star Wars.

Timeline one of Crichton's Best
I found Timeline to be an amazing story, vividly portrayed as only Crichton can. Using both modern science and history, he melded both concepts into one, and created another top notch book. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down.

Half-Life in a shiny new wrapper
I give it 4 stars because it was at least done fairly well. However, except for the vehicles (nice touch), one fairly interesting new weapon, and the ability to blow holes it walls (a "feature" I never actually NEEDED) it doesn't really offer anything Half-Life didn't. Actually, the Half-Life storyline intrigued me vastly more. Heck, the ending of Red Faction is even a little sad compared to HL.However, that being said, it did give me my FPS fix for about 10 hours and it did it fairly well. I recommend buying it, but just barely. Wait until you are completely tired of Counter-Strike and need a little alone time.Also, a word to the wise: don't depend on the quicksave feature. There is no autosave in the game, so every time you hit that F6 key to save you are overwriting the previous save. Exit to the main menu occasionally and perform a manual save. You won't be sorry.-K

Boring and uninspired
Why are reviews generally positive? This CD sucks. I've always found Patty to be spotty, frequently I'll only like 3-4 songs on a CD. But those 3-4 songs are often fabulous. Patty G has created some of my favorite music from the past 10 years. I loved all of 1,000 Kisses, and, like I said, I've liked many individual songs from all of her other CDs. Take Impossible Dream, for example. Most of that disc was kind of dull, but pleasantly so, and it was sprinkled with songs like Useless Desires and Top of The World which I loved. Children Running Through It, on the other hand, is incredibly dull and uninspired, and it doesn't even qualify as pleasant. The one "hit" song, Stay On The Ride, is OK at best. The rest of the CD feels like something she threw together in 10 minutes without any effort, just because she needed to put out a CD, not because she felt the calling of the muse. Boo! She could do so much better!

Major disappointment
I ended up giving away these shoes after wearing them one day. We have a recycle area in our apartment building, but it is usually used for things that are not brand new! These shoes hurt my feet and had no cushioning at all against the concrete I walk on. I will not buy another pair of shoes on line again, unless I know the make and size from hands on purchase before.

beautiful
First I must say that I believe this CD is so great that it may have re kindled the progressive flame and inspired many prog bands back out of the woodworks. Bill Brufords performance on this CD is totaly inspiring, Jon Anderson is the stand out here his vocals are amasing and his lyrics are up to the grade he was at back in 1972, Rick Wakeman proves to us yet again who is the keyboard wizard and Steve Howe he is always great. When these four master musicians get together on this recording they produced a cd so strong, that the amasing and yet beautiful songs last forever. If you are a big fan of the Close to the edge period of YES you should get this recording.

Don't bother
I read A Woman of Substance, and liked the book, so when I came across Everything to Gain, by the same author, I expected a good read.I was extremely disappointed. The book was not worth the time. There is nothing to hold your interest - no strong characters or character development, no interesting plot, no sharp writing or snappy dialogue.In short, a waste of time...

Building another Terminator
Using the technology from this 8MB Memory Card (left over from the dead Terminator), you should be able to construct another Terminator robot and send it through time.If you create a bad Terminator robot, you should definitely soup it up like the A-Team van, with some crazy special powers that will help it destroy mankind. If you create a good Terminator robot, just make it like normal (and P.S. thanks for saving mankind).

Intense!
This is the first Slayer album I have owned. I bought it on a whim but I'm not unhappy that I did. The intensity of this record is amazing. The drumming is particularly remarkable. I really cannot believe that a human being can play that fast and accurately. The rest of the band are equally proficient with their instruments. Incredible energy throughout! My only 'issue' with the disc is the monomaniac lyrical subject matter. I get that they don't dig organised religion, but why go on and on about it? Why can't we have more songs like Eyes of the Insane, which is really cool and topical. This whole satanic thing is real dull and boring. I have other records by bands who are into satanism (Down, for one) but they at least mix it up a bit and also sing about other things (their love of weed, for example). Dudes, the music shreds but the lyrics are pretty juvenile for guys well into their 30s (judging by the pics). Other than that, it rocks.

Small hands-almost perfect fit!
I have very small hands and these are the best fitting gloves I've ever owned except for the thumbs. They are a little too snug around my knuckles. Otherwise, good price and great value. I shoot with them on at the range everytime.

Good design bad construction
I like the design and how it works. Very comfortable, handy memory card pockets. Also there are clips at the end of the strap so you can quickly remove the strap if the strap gets in your way on a shoot.My problem is the neoprene material is covered by cloth, which after only a few uses is peeling off the neoprene strap. I'm not sure the long term consequences of this. So far it still works fine. I don't know if the cloth is there to give it strength or cosmetic. If it's for strength, then the neoprene may start to rip or come apart.

Don't waste your money
I guess I should be thankful that I only spent $5 on this game. This pathetic, poorly constructed game isn't worth the disc it's printed on. It's certainly faster-paced than MechAssault, the game it obviously wants to imitate, but it has none of MechAssault's plot, superior controls, or quality gameplay. Instead it has:--A terribly realized premise. Basically, you barrel across a cityscape in pursuit of various targets, which tend to be lost in the backgrounds and are at best hard to see, target, or destroy.--Awful controls. Try to manage all of them while screaming across the skyline and racing against time.--Zero logic. What's the point? You kill enemy mechs amidst various skylines. There's no plot to advance, no storyline, no premise. It won't even work as a mindless shooter, because after a while it becomes tedious and boring.What else is there to say? To date, the worst game I've played on XBox, and a major disappointment from the usually reliable Ubi Soft.

Bridesmaids
This movie is awesome! It's funny, & there is more to this movie than just what you see in the previews, by far!!! There are many funny parts (I literally peed my pants laughing so hard, so be sure to empty your bladder prior to watching Bridesmaids). My boyfriend loved the movie too, it's not just a chick flick comedy. Overall, I would watch this movie again, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

How Refreshing!!
This is a must read for anyone who's done marketing or received a "you've got to be kidding" look from their marketing person before. The author summarizes these common marketing mistakes with insight and humor, but best of all she says how to overcome them in simple, easy to digest language. It's a great leave-behind if you're in the marketing business. I found it refreshing and insightful. A very good read.

A very timely book for all
I know that Jack Challem has thoroughly researched the material of this book. The role of inflammation in chronic disease appears to be creating another paradigm in medical care which practicing physicians are tumbling to. Well over a year ago, Mr. Challem could have had a "scoop" by having his book published a bit prematurely, in knowing that if physicians buy into the inflammation factor of disease and the public understands the theory, that this knowledge will then be put to practical use. But he chose to continue his research and refine his book. As with his past writings, it is very understandable as well as enjoyable reading. If taken to heart, it should truly affect people's health. Good stuff for physicians and patients alike.

Woods disappoints with cranked out thriller.
I have read all of Wood's books and have enjoyed looking forward to the next, until now. Woods appears to be in his "retirement years" where writing is merely a way to squeeze cash out of his publisher...he certainly isn't putting much effort into his writing. This book proves the point. Instead of wasting time developing charaters and storyline, he reverts back to the rapidly stale getting Stone Barrington. To make matters worse, he decides to call up virtually every character and love interest from previous Barrington novels and throws them all together in a boring novel about a search for Paul Manning; a murderer from, again, a previous novel. Somehow, all the old love interests also "just happen to be" in Palm Beach where Stone is conducting his search from the deck of some wealthy techno tycoon's yacht. I hope Woods puts more effort into his next novel, otherwise he is about to lose a longtime fan.

excellent use of body image metaphor and description
While I agree with the above review which finds fault with some of the "mawkishness" of the novel, I find its metaphorical rhythm redeems it. Levin uses physical description and body image literalness and metaphor better than most any other writers. In fact, it is unusual to read a novel that cares so much about the body in all its aspects. And, she does not focus on the cultural icons of the woman's body, but broadens and deepens our relationship to the characters' physicality, and our own. Worth reading for that aspect alone. Also a good plot.

Horrible writing, horrible acting
I just saw this movie. It's intended to be over-the-top, but it goes so far over that it becomes a self-parody. The writing is cheesy and cliched, and the actors can't help but overact to match.It's also interesting that the only jobs available to women in this movie's world are scantily clad waitresses, strippers, naked lesbian parole officers, and whores. I'm all for T&A;, but this was ludicrous.If you want to see excellent film noir that's sexy, violent, and amoral, check out Romeo Is Bleeding. Only see Sin City if you want to laugh yourself sick.

How can you sell a product that has to be constantly manipulated to work?! There should be instructions on how to work a product that should be as easy as plugging it in.

This movie makes my day
Stony-faced Clint takes on a raving lunatic in this excellent police thriller. The truly deranged Scorpio killer is stalking the minority groups of San Francisco, mercilessly sniping his victims while attemping to blackmail the SFPD with threats and ransom demands. But he's no match for Harry Callahan, the city's dirtiest and most determined cop.Greatest scenes? It's difficult to pick the highlights, but no review is complete without mentioning the film's two great 'Do you feel lucky?' moments. Also wonderful are the 'Row your boat' singing scene where Scorpio terrorises the kids on the school bus, the shocking plot twist when the killer has himself beaten to a pulp, and Harry's handling of an attempted suicide attempt (I won't spoil it by telling you how he manages it!). All in all, a very good video despite very vague (though still worrying) tyrannical undertones to Harry's all-out attitude to policing.

This is no where near a classic PPV.
From all the advertising, i was expecting way better, and so were many, the barbed wire steel cage match was a joke. New Years Revolution looked like a sign that 2005 wouldn't have that many boring PPV's but i was wrong. This moved way slow, in fact the card was totally out of order, Cruiserweight match was good, pretty good match there. But everything else, Smackdown need a new creative team, because both Raw and Smackdown have seperate creative teams and Raw got the better.

Poor language & equally poor message
This movie is a far cry from the original.I lost track of how many times the kids and adults in this film swore gratuitiously. Worse yet, when the winning team acknowledges the Bears hard work and achievements, instead of viewers being rewarded with a scene exhibiting good sportsmanship, the film makers decide to have the losing team learn nothing, except how to deliver the film's seemingly trademark message of "Kiss my ***".

I adore it.
The first Christopher Pike book I ever read was Remember Me, back in the 4th grade. I thought it was incredible, and Pike has been my favorite author since then. The first time I read the Season of Passage, I thought it was ok. I realize now that I just didn't 'get it'. A few more read-throughs and I got it. I loved it so much I wrote a screenplay for it. I have songs to go with it. I have actors picked out to play parts. So, now all I need is a big budget and some names and I could make it into a movie. Then Mister Pike and I would fall in love and get married and make lots of babies... LOL, anyway, yeah, I love the book, I adore the book, I WORSHIP the book... It's just incredible.

No parts available for repair!! Bad company policy!
I had this for a few years and it worked okay but it would get stuck in the rake. My biggest problem with this product is Littermaid does not offer repair parts after the first year once your warranty is up. I find this unacceptable and they are just money grabbing up front on a cheaply built product and expect you to buy a new one after it breaks. Are people so uneducated that they will continue to support this company with their hard earned money!!! DON'T DO IT!!!

I really didn't know what to expect so I wasn't disappointed. But I wasn't all that impressed, either.Scott Weiland's vocals tend to get buried in the wall of well, 'noise' produced by the others. It's difficult to understand the lyrics until about the tenth repetition. Lots of almost-thrash.The third cut, Big Machine, was actually my favorite.

Courage of Deadly young Marines with Plastic guns.The M14 was a proven reliable weapon That stood the test of time. That would work in the mud and muck and the heat of battle. John's training as a sniper was of particularly iteretesting. How they formed these Young men into deadly crack shots.It show what A Marine can do with a good weapon in hand.

I purchased these on June 27th and, unfortunately I did not open the box and start using them until late July. Within 1/2 days, the left side went out, and just the right side works. When I went online to see about returning them, it was out of the time frame and according to the warranty(which I admit to not reading before purchasing), even if I was in the allotted time slot, would only be eligible for 50% of my money back. Sigh. Word to the wise, open electronics immediately!!!

A good book for a begineer of Solidworks
The 3D design software SOLIDWORKS has total different design ideas and approaches from AUTOCAD. For a beginner of SOLIDWORKS, a book providing a whole picture of the software through good examples will be most helpful. In this book, several typical design examples are provided. Through these examples, readers can quickly learn most of the design procedures, commands, and some important tips of SOLIDWORKS. With the help of this book, I can design different parts for my research work in 2 weeks. I strongly recommend this book to beginners who want to master SOLIDWORKS in a short time.

I was looking for a butter dish that was both attractive and functional. This is both. Has an excellent knob that is secure to grab and easily remove the cover. Has plenty of room for a regular 1/4 lb stick plus a little room. Those with no knob are ridiculous!As one reviewer noted the dimensions are incorrect and should be fixed in the add. It is 7.2" long, 3.8" high (not the 5.8 in the description), and 4.1" wide.

Mulhollow Dr
I have always been a fan of independent movies and especially of films that are thought provoking. I can then say I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. Now I'm wishing I hadn't. I did enjoy Mr Lynch's talents as a director, however I cannot say the same about his writting.I have had conversations with many people about this movie... and while the most common answers are "It was cool" or "It was weird", no one has been able to clearly explain the plot or the last half of the movie... I can say I did understand most of Lynch's symbolism but overall I feel alot of it was unrelated to the movie and added simply to leave the viewer wondering about their relevance.I really consider this movie nothing more than a snowjob with some great camera work. I know many won't agree with me, but I don't think everything that cannot be understood can be called art. If this were the case I could be the next Picasso.

Don't let the Twentieth Century Jazz Master fool you. These are the Ralph Gleason Jazz Casual Shows from San Francisco. As there is little on video of these two brilliant saxophonists, this will have to do.

As to Mulligan, this at least is with Bob Brookmeyer his valve trombone partner who sounds like no other trombonist and swings like Mulligan. Buy it.

Just received the box that the chair arrived in today. Opened the delivery box to find a very dirty box the chair was encased in. Finally got the chair out and noticed that there were certain scratches on it as if someone had used it. It was on the plastic so I did not mind it. Then I noticed that there was also some sticky marks on the green cushion. Hmmm...? To top it off, the logo on the front of the tray is faded. What is the deal Amazon?

gritty realism...
Michael Connelly is an amazing author. He brings the dark side of life into view without losing the gritty edge of reality of his characters. Harry Bosch is a detective in L.A. who takes on an investigation of a dead child from years past when a bone turns up on a hillside. He pursues the case, determined to discover the name of the child, the circumstance of his life and cause of his death. He discovers abandonment ,alcoholism and abuse, but can he discover what actually occurred?In the process of his search for answers he meets a fellow officer, new to the department, who seems to bring light to his life. Julia Brasher is interesting, attractive and has an interesting past full of great experiences, but what drives her to be a detective?While Bosch tries to keep the case low profile, the case takes on a life of it's own and the media gets involved. Then things get out of control.This is another tremendously told tale by Connelly, and the ending is not what you expect!!

Easy to install, does the job nicely (if you use some common sense)
I used this for an Optoma HD20 projector. The mount has 4 arms and 3 pieces that insert into the arms and that screw into the projector itself. I did not use the extension piece.I used this to mount my projector into the ceiling. I didn't have any studs, and just used 2 of those metal mushrooming sheetrock wall-anchors (each rated at 20 lbs). Installation of the mounting plate using those was a breeze.Compared to other mount systems (which often sell the ceiling mounting plate separately from the plate that attaches to the projector), this is an extremely good deal. Everything you need comes in one box for a very low price, and installation is pretty painless.

Black monster Seiko
The watch is indestructible. But as someone else has suggested, I should have bought the steel belted one, with a rubber strap as a replacement... The watch keeps a few mins plus/minus per month... Solid. Buy it if you like the image, the watch is better in real life. I prefer it over the rubber strapped one I got earlier...Just got time to update from Jan 2008- the resin-silicone band gave way while on the wrist. An embarrassment of sorts to have the watch drop like that. Anyway, this just re-affirms that the steel belt is THE way to go. And for all the tricks that the Citizen (reviewed elsewhere) this watch remains my number one pet.

Doesn't last, but great while it does!
I bought this at Wal-Mart for about $25 and LOVED it! It is so convenient and gets up the dust that other cordless vacs don't, and it was cheap. Obviously there are probably stronger, more resilient cordless vacs out there, but u will also pay a good bit more for it - plus, like I said, they don't get the dust like this one. My only gripe is that it only lasted less than a year. The battery won't charge at all anymore and it actually began lasting less and less time for the last few months. However, for the money, it was great and for the price of another "nicer" one, you can afford to buy 2 or 3 of these. I am considering buying another one.

A thrilling chiller for mountaineering enthusiasts
I first saw this movie in Global Studies, and even then Mr. Bockelman (my teacher) jumped right in to where Jon Krakauer is struggling to reach the summit of Mount Everest. We didn't even finish the whole film. Then, this weekend, I checked out Mr. Krakauer's book, "Into Thin Air", and found that from what I had seen, the director of the film stayed remarkably close to the book and to the horrific events that happened on Everest in 1996. Overall, I thought that the movie showed many people what happened on May 10, 1996, and of what climbing Everest is really like. Awesome, but chilling.

Fusion jazz gem from the masters
This hard to find CD is a must for fans of fusion jazz. The groundbreaking quartet of Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola, and Lenny White provide the true fusion of rock and jazz with the hard driving "Earth Juice" and "Vulcan World". And then the solo piano of the title tune provides a surpassingly sweet moment of peace. Along with their classic Romantic Warrior and Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" this CD is a classic of early-mid-70's fusion jazz.

NOT Genuine Pearl, these are simulated pearls
The item is described as "10 mm Pink Genuine Pearl..." These are NOT genuine pearls. These are simulated pearls. Swarovski does make simulated pearls, these might be those simulated pearls or other simulated pearls. Quite honestly, considering the description is inaccurate, I doubt the crystal is even really Swarovski elements. It feels much more plastic-like than my genuine Swarovski items. The earrings are cute, but not the deal you might think considering the misleading title.I own three other pairs of pink pearl earrings, and bought these to replace a pair that was lost. Although these are nice, they don't quite wow me like I thought they would considering all the five star reviews.

This Book Collects dust in my cubicle....
Luckily I inherited this book from sombody that got fired. I would have been furious if I had paid for it. I administer serveral hundred AIX boxes from SP2's to workstations. Nothing in this book has ever been helpful to me. It is poorly organized and trying to find what you are looking for is impossible. Very disapointing. It makes me wonder why so many people have this on their bookshelf. Maybe because it's thick and cumbersome they think it's packed with goodies. It' NOT!Try something that is thinner and infinitely more helpful for AIX administrators: The AIX Survival Guide by Siegert. It has led me to all of my AIX answers.

For Heaven's sake, buy this before London pulls the plug!
As the London recordings disappear, no doubt to reappear someday at a super-premium price, you owe it to yourself to buy this. See for yourself what all the fuss over Tebaldi is about- like Callas, she gives class to trashy operas. Really- who else would you want to hear singing La Wally?

Poor print quality
Don't buy this book. I just received mine and the type print is terrible. The book is a photocopy ofthe original and the print is very light, illegible on some pages, and generally hard to read. Find anedition from a different publisher.

Make another choice
Unless you are a fan of the actors in this film, I suggest you make another choice. I showed this film to a group of friends, having only the reviews on Amazon to go by, and the resounding comment was dismal. The progression of this movie is extremely SLOW and the speaking is muffled. There is a reason why there are so many copies of this movie up for re-sale.

Let the buyer beware!
I was super disappointed upon receiving this CD. I thought I had finally scored a copy of "Sit Down I Think I Love You" by the Mojo Men. I excitedly put the CD in the player and waited to be transported back to 1967..."What's this crap!" Something came out that sounded nothing like the original. Other songs were even worse. I then read the small print on the front of the disc "New stereo recordings by the Original Artists". A must to avoid!!

Good Coffee - Small on Counter
We have used one of these now for about 7 years. It takes up little space on the countertop and is perfect for one or two people who each have one or two cups in the morning. You can use any coffee you would like and at the strength you enjoy. The coffee maker is much more reliable than the expensive Keurig single serving machines and is easy to hide away when not is use. When company comes, we make multiple pots for guests and the coffee is always fresh. Great brewer for the money!

Just say no
I bought this book at the airport, hoping to have a good read before my flight and on the plane. It did not even make it on the plane with me, I returned it after reading a dozen or so pages. It is poorly written with lousy dialogue, I was amazed the author was able to find publishing.

Awful
A really horrendous read, I don't see how anyone could have enjoyed anything about this idiotic book. We've read about the modern millenial desert, and this work offers nothing new. I am not someone who is oblivious of allegory, symbolism, imagery, etc, but I felt as if the entire book was some sort of an inside joke meant for people familiar with London. Cryptic phrases, and really irritating, persistent attempts at humor on every page. I cared as much for the characters on page 1 as I did on page 300. And as mentioned by a previous reviewer, the authorial presence is extremely annoying and totalitarian, not allowing the reader to formulate any sort of outside opinion on the characters, who themselves are thoroughly uninteresting. You'll get as much out of buying this book as you would out of just burning 15 dollars.

What a waste of time
I think the director of this DVD must misunderstand FOX's slogan... "Fair and Balanced"........... what Fox means is they are the one news network that makes things "fair and balanced" by trying to offset the far left leaning of vistually every other news source out there.... NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBS, CNN, TNT, etc..If "slanted news" is REALLY his concern, why pick on FOX for leaning to the right ?Why not go after EVERY OTHER News Channel that leans to the left....WAY TO THE LEFT !!The reason of course is he has an agenda..DUH

Poorly designed product and potentially dangerous
I bought this tool after reading an article on This Old House. It initially lived up to expectations, but quickly failed after the handle melted off the body causing and impressive electrical spark. After calling the company and finding that it was no longer under guarantee, I was told that a replacement handle would be (~$90). I passed and dissected my unit. To my surprise, I found it to be poorly designed. The wires and connectors were undersized and showed signs of heavy carbonation. The overheating sensor was poorly placed, which explained why the plastic handle melted off the metal body. I called the company again and pointed out these designed flaws, but was told that they had not had complaints from other customers. However, a casual search on the Internet shows that they are lying and that this is a common problem with this tool.

A real treasure
OPA!! Boy was I astonished to find this CD! My grandfather, who emmigrated from Greece in the 1910's, owned this record which was produced in the 1950s. I recently rediscoverd this album in the basement play it frequently. This was recorded when each part of the country still maintained regional influences, before the hemogenization of Greek popular musical styles. Great musical quality, authentic. A must have.

Good rhapsody, great symphony.
Romanian Rhapsody #1 is a pretty piece but not a great one (at least in this recording, which is the only one I have heard).The 3rd Symphony is much more interesting, very expressive of the turmoil of Enescu's homeland at the time it was written. Despite the violence and dissonance of the scherzo, this symphony is still a late romantic work rather than a truly modern one. Enescu sounds more like a disciple of Gliere than of Stravinsky.

Digital Fortress
This book was a terrible disappointment. I have read this other three books and this was the dullest. No real excitement until the last 30 pages - at most. The Da Vinci Code, Agnles and Deamons and, to some degree, had plot twists, tension and excitement, along with characters you could relate to. No so in this book. Save your money.

A gentle but powerful nudge
As stated in the preface, acts of kindness need not be elaberate or planned. This small book is a treasure trove of esperiences of kindness, given and received. Some are big, like a complete christmas provided for a family down on its luck. Some are small, like not hitting back. It is a reminder that we all have the capacity to reach out. I took this book to church with me, in case the services got too boring. I read it, my kids read it , and I have since reread it several times since. A gentle nudge towards becomming a kinder person.

Personal narritive about LTCOL Bill Rankin
I was a Navy Air Traffic Controller stationed in Guantanamo Bay and worked at the Leeward Point control tower. I met The Colonel when he visited the control tower and during our exchanging "sea Stories" he related his experience that culmulated in the writing of his book. I never got to read his book, but his personal narritive has stayed with me. He visited the tower several times during his squadron's deployment and I was very impressed by his professionalism. He was a Marine's MarineA.D.

Solar Charging? Fail. :(
This didn't charge up. Directions are great; product failed. Do you own a Droid? Don't get this because the adapters don't match up with the tips. Thanks for making a Droid tip. Next time, make an adapter so it will plug into the solar charger! Oy vey! Epic fail. :( Still heavily anticipating solar technology though. Still rooting for it.

Kindle edition review
Do not buy this book for Kindle, the editing is so poor that it becomes effectively unreadable. I have found this to be a slight problem with other ebooks but never so bad as this. I will try to obtain a refund.

Great transition from Inbetween Time era Common Children
Not much that I can add that has not already been said. I predict that in a year or so this band will be just as popular as Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor. There is a 4 song 12" coming out soon on Republic of Texas Recordings [www.republicoftexasrecordings.com] so everyone should keep an eye out for that.

Not as good as the Motorola case
In the past, I have purchased the Body Glove Cases for other flip phones. However, this one for the Razr is not good. It is a struggle to even get it on the phone and the openings for the charger, earpiece etc do not line up properly. My husband did complain about the clip and indicated that it released a few times when he sat down. Although I have been a fan of their cell phone cases in the past, I am disappointed in this one. We have replaced it with the Motorola brand leather case.

A lot of Superman never hurt!
With the addition of this set of discs to my Superman collection, I am virtually in possession of all the Superman discs around. I like doing this as it is fascinating to see the many faces of Superman over the years as well as the various special effects of his early years. Very interesting and FUN!

Leaks
I should have listened to other reviews. This filter housing leaked since day one (usually a drip here and there, or right after changing the filter), but it just recently began leaking about 1 gallon a day (after using it for about 9 months). The leak is coming from somewhere in the valve. I'm going to try the fix that another reviewer posted (about the silicone). Crossing fingers that this works!

I wish I'd wrote this book
Awhile back, I was brainstorming the idea of writing a book on Web Services and had an idea similar to this book. I am glad that my peers in the industry have the opportunity to read such a fine work.The authors did a great job of explaining architectural principles behind web services. Many people in the industry only learn about web services due to hype put out by vendors such as BEA and the Workshop tool (Really should use Eclipse instead) and learn how to generate bad code faster.This book provides much needed guidance on how to get it right the first time. Do not buy this book if you are one of those in the industry that still hasnt figured out that 90% of the cost of software is in the maintenance stage.

Decent frame for a reasonable price
11 x 17 is an odd size, and I looked all over the place to find an off-the-shelf frame and couldn't. I bought this frame and it arrived quickly and in good shape. No, it isn't a wonderful, fabulous best-ever frame, but it looks pretty good and does the job, and is much less expensive than custom framing.

Great insight into acting
OK, did you ever have the experience where you have run into someone you went to high school with, and you keep thinking " Wow, when did they get so smart"? Well, I have always thought Seth Barrish was smart. It is a pursuit of integrity for those who persue it and love it.This boIt is a pursuit of integrity for those who persue it and loveit.... But this is a wonderful book about the realities of what it like to be an actor. Acting isn't just about strikes and oscars, affairs and drug problems...it is a craft...it is a life's work. It is a pursuit of integrity for those who persue it and love isThis book not only reveals a lot of knowledge but is extremely humble and funny. This is not a pretentious tome, but a wonderfully brief, insightful and readable acting book. If you ever want to find out what actors do, and don't want to watch inside the actors studio...then this isthe book for you...

Don't Buy
I have had this product for a littler over a year and it has completely fallen apart. The hinges broke and the inside plastic strap that supported the lid broke, thus the lid has fallen off; and most recently the wheels came off. We were not rough on this cooler, although it did get used every couple of weeks for Costco trips (since I live about an hour from the store). Needless to say, I will not be buying this again, and I won't be buying an Igloo cooler unless there are some major quality improvements. The hinges on my last Igloo cooler (different model) also broke.
