0	My cardscan paperweight	I used the 800c with my old computer and it was a reasonable unit to use. The software is not able to load onto my new computer. When I insert the serial number from the unit for registration to load software on the new machine the Cardscan registration says that it is not a serial number. Cardscan tech support will call me "quickly" I was told by customer service. They never called. Approach with caution.	negative
0	Very disappointed	I know that this hoe cost about half of what I could have bought one at a garden center for, but I was very disappointed. After about three to four times of striking the ground in my freshly tilled garden, the blade on this hoe bent as if someone had put it in a vise. The blade is so thin and the metal so soft, I can take my hands and bend it. Not a very well designed product in my book. I am very disappointed and would not recommend this product to anyone.	negative
1	Great Replica	For a while I have been thinking about getting a Force FX Lightsaber. I eventually saved up enough money to get one and I spent a few weeks looking at all the different lightsabers. I eventually chose this one and I am glad I did! The lightsaber has a beautiful glow to it and it looks incredibly realistic when lit up (It lights up the whole room!). This lightsaber is however very delicate and will scratch fairly easily. As long as you don't use it for any serious fighting it should be fine. I love this lightsaber and so will you!	positive
1	Toner Cartridge	This toner cartridge for the Brother HL-2040 comes close to the advertised number of copies is suppose to make, and buying it through Amazon with the free shipping, beats every price in my area.	positive
1	Thorough but Overly Dense	My Professor required this textbook as the main textbook for "International Human Rights Law." The book contains almost everything you would need to have a grasp of current international human rights law, but does not contain enough commentary to help a student truly put all the pieces together and think critically about those pieces. Unfortunately, unless you are reading this book in the context of a law school or graduate level course, you simply cannot use this book to gain a good general grasp of the development of human rights law or thought. However, if you are simply looking to have one book (albeit a very large book) that contains all of the most important cases, writings, treatises, etc., in one location, this is that book.	positive
1	Are you with me?	This is a very special Dan album in the sense that it was the last album with some of the old members and the first to use more session players.Apart from the fact that technically speaking it was a disaster (the DBX machine destroyed the mix, there were tiny mustard lumps on one of the tapes, from a workman's lunch at the tape manufacturer), it is a remarkably perfect album.The compositions are rock based, but jazzy in execution (listen to Your Gold Teeth II, shifting to a very smooth jazz waltz after the intro). Musicians like Jeff Porcaro, Michael Omartian, Michael McDonald and Victor Feldman all contribute to one of rock's finest moments.This album is a collection of songs you will have to get used to - the secrets are very well hidden and only come out after repeated playing.	positive
1	Richard Alley is a great storyteller.	Alley really knows how to write. This book is about the ice core record of past climate, the adventure of collecting the ice cores in Greenland, what drives climate change, and a bit about global warming. He makes analogies to everyday situations that humorously and clearly explain the science. A fun read.	positive
0	Weak. Terrible. Horrible.	Thing was obviously busted from a factory defect despite it having someones signature in it (Handwritten) that they had inspected it. Waaaaaaaayyyyyyy to big unless you have a frekin massive board. Thinish plastic, not enough padding. Do yourself a favor and get a different one. The minimum dimesions on this thing are wayyyyyy off. Dont buy.	negative
0	Not that great of a game, so far	I bought this game last week and have yet to get a mission started. The game comes with wrong aircraft configuration files and you have to figure them out yourself.Doesn't matter what mission I try to get, it always says not enough fuel. I have no idea on how much fuel to get. So I go on the forums and hear you have to fly in FSX for 10 minutes and multiply this and do that then stand on one leg, spin around and whistle Dixie.Why could'nt they just put the proper config files in? Why? They were too lazy.I guess I will have to figure it out myself. If you get this game and plan on flying and doing runs right away, think again. I didnt do my homework, so now I am stuck with it.I will review again if I can figure it out.	negative
0	Did not find it well done, or for beginners	Being already trilingual, I thought this would be good to help me with at least the basics of German. Total waste of money.	negative
0	Only Spanish subtitles	Although the cinematic quality of this DVD was excellent, we had to return it to Amazon, as the only language offered in the subtitles menu was Spanish. This was not delineated in the product description. We need to view our DVD's with English subtitles. This is an issue to watch for in future, apparently.	negative
1	Inspiring and Beautifully Written	The Compassionate Life is an inspiring and beautifully written work, deceptively simple. The Dalai Lama is a man with firm beliefs and his writings make that clear. You certainly don't have to be a Buddhist to find something inspirational here. I think anyone with an open mind will find this inspiring work a rewarding read.	positive
1	Great for bike/run routes.	I know I'm a minority but I got the program free with my Dell laptop and love it so much I keep it in the drive 24/7. In fact, for me it's almost worth the price of the laptop. I use the program to map and get distance on running and bicycling routes. I have found it to be very accurate when doing spot comparisons with my car and bike odometers. I set points at corners and get a route distance and have amassed at least 30 run or bike routes of varying length. If I could only make it do elevation I'd be thrilled but then it would cost [more money].	positive
1	Amazing Tips for Entrepreneurs	Entrepreneurs should read this book. The section about leadership vs. management was very helpful. The concepts may be applied to all aspects of your life so I recommend it to anyone interested in personal growth. - PLAY it Forward Adventures [...]	positive
1	Hot and spicy	I loved this book. Sure there were continutiy problems. Sure the female hiding as a male has been done before, but wow! The sex was hot and plentiful. Donovan and Viola came back to visit and the parents got their just desserts. I think if you like the old Thea Devine (when she actually wrote stores with good sex scenes) then you'll like this book.	positive
1	Great Resource!	I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I'm almost 50 and have often felt "out of place" in this crazy, fast-paced world of ours. It's nice to know I'm perfectly normal, and that there are others out there just like me.	positive
1	As advertised. Recommended.	- Loos and feels good.- Made out of wood.- Light weight.- Fits a standard kitchen drawer.- Compartments of appropriate sizes and fits alot of silverware.- Makes organizing kitchen silverware easier.- Good price for what you get.Recommended.	positive

1	Hey Ma, It Worked!	Yes, I used this well-illustrated and easily understandable book and designed a web site in one (long) weekend. The structure is in four parts ascending from the general to the detail, from easy to difficult. The examples are EXACTLY like the screen, unlike other guides in which there were variations.I researched other support groups and found some written in Microsoftese, a language that few understand. Others had few illustrations or assumed you knew more than you did or were unorganized. This one, recommended by a friend, was perfect. In three minutes I displayed a web page (with the words "THIS IS A TEST" in bright red) using my browser, Netscape. From there, it was downhill. You can stay simple or get complex. You might also want to invest in an HTML book if you wish to modify the code and go further. All in all, a great experience.	positive
0	Virtual gibberish	Written with pompous, pretentious and convoluted style, this book is an exercise in tedium. I had to read this book in architecture school, on more than one occasion; I wanted to throw it out the window. Only read this book if you enjoy being condescended to and/or must for school.I can summarize the book in one sentence: Proportion is important in architecture.	negative
1	Good bedtime reading	This small book is arranged in 91 short segments--each a couple of small pages in length. I've just finished reading it at bedtime, a couple of segments per night, over a month or two. Very pleasant reading for that hour. The author is an orthodox rabbi, I believe, and the emphasis is often Jewish--as well as other things, too--but really, it's not too heavy on Jewish emphasis, and I suspect that non-Jews, as well as non-religious Jews (I fall into this category), would find this book a very good thing, too. The title tells it all: the book is about the value and methods of developing patience, with each segment having a brief discussion followed by an example or two. I do feel the book has put me in touch with some ethical issues, and some practical issues, and some just plain human issues, involving patientce--all in a way designed to encourage personal growth while also doing good deeds for others.	positive
1	The dangers of loyalty	Made just about twenty years after the end of WWII, this samurai drama is a provocative cautionary tale about the way a code of honor based on fealty to military leaders can be manipulated by the unscrupulous men at the top. Eager for reform, Gennosuke (Hira Mikijiro) , a rank and file samurai, is urged to assassinate a high-ranking minister, then forced to go on the run after his patron disavows knowledge of his actions. Pursued by the daughter of the slain man, he vows to live selfishly like a "beast" until he encounters another samurai, Yamane (Kato Go), who is working a secret gold mine with his young wife. Recognizing that this couple is also being used, he tries to make them aware of their peril.Gosha Hideo's brief drama is a solid film with good action, fine acting, and an interesting message that shows Japan struggling with its militaristic heritage.	positive
1	Ban-The-Bell Curve!...	...or a better title for my review..."If I Knew Then, What I Know Now!" What an eye-opener this book is! The one-size-fits-all way of educating a child has GOT to change, and the information in this book is a great place to start. If parent's, teachers, educators of EVERY walk of life read this book...Wow!...what a "genuine" difference we could make!!	positive
1	Return with us now to the days of yesteryear.. Fun stuff!	I finished the almost two THOUSAND pages of Peter Hamilton's opus space opera PANDORA'S STAR/JUDAS UNCHAINED. It has been a fair amount of fun AND I will almost miss the characters.To me that is the acid test of a book.	positive
1	very good	i bought it about a year ago and still working great its battery time is good and prolong i love it	positive
1	My review	I believe this book to be very breathtakeing. My father also faught in the veitnam war, but he came home alive. I found this book to reveal some of the untold truth about the wars and explained just how much they affected families. i recomend this book to any person of any age. I enjoyed it very much and I know others will too.	positive
1	An outstanding childrens book-a must for collectors.	As a chlidren's literature collector and teacher I've found this book to be invaluable.The writing style evokes wonderful images and can easily be adapted to a classroom for a writing model. It is also one of my favorite books because the images are classic and speak to a child of any age.	positive
0	Caveate Emptor - Dont order from this supplier	I ordered this product. It came weeks late with the wrong parts and it took hours for a plumber to use my old fawcet parts to correct the bad parts that were shipped.I called the supplier and told them my problem and they never called back.So dont order from them	negative
0	End of the Dream	THe book was apparently lost in the post between UK and western US. I was able to obtain a full refund from the seller. THere were some issues, but those have been resolved.	negative
0	Trees died for this book ?	Dylan's prose in this book is full of "hip cat" babble and no substance. I actually began to laugh everytime he launched into his hip cat speak - which should qualify his memoir as a comedy work. A pitiful piece of work from someone trying to remain relevant.I mean man this read is like a razor blade cuttin' lunch meat at the deli counter of hard life - walkin' down a road with no end or begining and heavy traffic all goin' the same direction. Sleepin' on a couch that is too hard and too short and was made that way just for you. Through my eyes it attacked my soul like fire burning hungry dogs that are tryin' to steal your refrigerator.The book will appeal to Dylan sycophants, but everyone else can save their money.	negative
0	Broke after about a year	Cable worked well for about a year and then we had problems with sound only coming out through one channel, and you had to fiddle with the fit of the cable in the phone jack and pray for the best. This worked for a while but now it has gotten to a point that it almost never works right.I know it's not a problem with the phone or my system because other cables don't have this problem. YMMV, but I expected better longevity.Also, the cable is almost a little too short. The length was okay for my situation, but you should consider that before purchasing.	negative
1	defective	Ordered the right-hand and left-hand remote switches. They were packed fine and received in good shape however the left-hand switch was defective. It would switch but not completely nor would it hold its position. This resulted in derailments. I contacted Walthers and they rushed a new one to me. I checked it out and it was fine. I sent the defective switch back to Randy at Walthers' parts and service per his request. He noted that he'd received a few other complaints about the left-hand.	positive
1	Excellent Filler Paper ~ Hard To Find	I am very pleased with the quality of this filler paper. I've been using this size paper for my personal recipe book for many years, but recently it has been hard to find. I'm so glad that Amazon carries this product. TOPS provided excellent service as well.	positive
1	Must Have	Interesting perspective on Soviet Doctrine and weapon discipline. A must have for any Mosin-Nagant enthusiast along with Terence Lapin's "The Mosin-Nagant Rifle" 3rd edition.	positive
1	Almost perfect! Just one complaint...	I watched this series on Netflix, and enjoyed it immensely... so much so that I wanted to see the bonus material that is on the DVD (and not on Netflix).I do have one complaint: the segment on Tibet makes it sound if everything is now oh-so-wonderful in that Himalayan region. If it is so delightful, then why do the Tibetan refugees (including the Dalai Lama), now located in India, not move back to Tibet? Why are Tibetan monks in that region setting themselves on fire to protest the current situation? Were the documentary's producers "guided" to a pro-Chinese stance (perhaps as a condition for filming in that region)? If so, the objectivity of this travelogue is questionable at best.	positive
0	Condition of book	The book was advertised as 'like new' but it was more like 'fair' but the price was low and since I bought it for my daughter and she didn't seem to mind that the pages were a bit yellowed and bent at the corner it is ok.	negative
1	Good movie.	It makes you think life is not that complex as people make it to be. Sort of Keep It Simple Stupid.	positive
0	Good, but doesn't compare well to the others	"Paper Tigers" is a good effort but if you are a fan of "Vocal City" (4 stars) and particularly "Present Lover" (5+ stars), you will be somewhat dissappointed in this cd. Those two others are so much better.I wrote a much more detailed review but this silly review writing feature lost it and now you get the abridged version. Amazon, get it together!	negative
0	Not so great	This will be going back didn't realize I had over paid for it so much, bought it for my 9 yr old and he was so unhappy and said it was a old version. My older son said I paid way to much for it and could have gotten one much cheaper through Game Stop, what did I know. I am sending it back hard to find games too.	negative
1	Great toy for the price!	My grandson is still a little too young to use this rocker well but I can already tell you it's a great toy for the price. It's simple & very sturdy.	positive
1	DVD available at warner brothers archives $19.95	I also love this movie and have been looking for it on DVD. I just found them at warner brothers archives and purchased this and a few others I was searching for including Carbine Williams with Jimmy Stewert. Great copies!	positive
1	Beautiful strangness	I bought this book having previously read, "Where are you going, Where have you Been? And more recently BD11 1 87 in the Atlantic, which blew me away. So I bought High Lonesome for further thrills and I am not disappointed. I really enjoyed "The Lady with the Pet Dog" This story had such subtle genius that it wheedled into my subconscious and I had to finish it by the second sitting."Fat Man My Love" is a grim and starkly original tale that takes courage to get through but it's worth it. In fact all of Oats' tales are a little risky because each character exposes our own weaknesses so well.I did not give it a fifth star because the physical characteristics of the book, paper, cover, and the texture seems pulpy, cheap and prone to yellowing.Other than that, an outstanding product.	positive
0	Just a rong, messed up ripoff	This is just a stupid view of the bibel. It`s not only for idiots, its main message seems to be "God will do your bidding, but u hav to be evil first, and then u go to hell. Plus, it has to hav the name it has. I thought it meant the bord game, not a book. If u r thinking about buying it, DON`T!It`s a waste of$.	negative
1	Fantastic album ! ! !	I love this CD. I purchased both Within and Beyond immediately after seeing William Joseph on Dr. Phil show. Hopefully I will see more of him on TV, as my opportunities to go to concerts are few. At any rate, I think this is a very talented young man, and hope to see a lot of him in the future. I also hope another CD will be available SOON !	positive
0	one of my least favorite suess books	I ADORE Dr. Seuss. In fact, I'm pretty sure that his work is the source of a sizeable chunk of my love for language in general, and for poetry. In fact, I think my love for Shakespeare started as a child, with Dr. Suess. This stuff was really profound for me.But I have to say, if Geisel really did write this one, he was NOT in top form. The music of his language is missing - some of the verses are downright clunky, and the usual depth is lost in horrific lines like "... together we'll trot to some real cool spot and play a few video games."Maybe he was trying to be contemporary. And some of the illustrations here really ARE wonderful, but I have to say, this Seuss lover (who now spends as much as an hour and a half a day reading the stuff to his own daughter, who love it) finds this one way off the mark.	negative
1	Hard Boiled 70s Style	I love Philip Marlow! Robert Altman and Elliott Gould team up to make this adaptation outstanding. This is what cinema is all about. Clever camera angles, strange locations, surperb acting and all draped in a 70s haze, part pot smoke, part porno. Check out a very young "Arnold" as well as Ross' and Rachel's dad when he was the hippest Jew in Hollywood. This is classic noir. Gangsters, molls, drunk writers, bad cops, and Marlow. What these folks did with a convoluted Chandler book is a work of art.	positive
0	Run From This Book Screaming	I am using this book as a text in a college class. I rated it at one star because there was no lower rating. The T-SQL syntax is wrong more often than not, and this makes utilizing this book more difficult than it should be; the T-SQL examples are so poor as to be considered useless.In addition to T-SQL syntax errors, there are plain English errors as well. I am nearing the end of the class where this book was used as a text, and in retrospect it appears that it has not been edited at all.I would expect the editing quality from a company with Sybex's reputation to be more thorough than it is.If you pass this exam and have writing skills, perhaps you should apply to Sybex as a technical editor; it appears as though they could use the help.	negative
0	Not user-friendly	I am returning this item because:-Proper names are not spelled in standard English forms (the publisher of this map is in Germany)-It is difficult to read the map - it is a topographic map, which is unnecessary and makes it difficult to find and read the cities, notes etc. printed in red.Even if one is familiar with the region it is difficult to find things on this map!	negative
1	Lovely Soothing Music for Anyone or Anything	I have this CD as well as every other Bradley Joseph composition. The music is one of a kind and though I don't have any indoor pets to play the music for, I DO play it when I am anxious or very tired and it has a soothing effect on me....I can only imagine what animals think of it. Bradley is a very gifted musician and I think you would enjoy this music with or without pets.........	positive
0	It didn't work on our computer system	We didn't realize that this program wouldn't work on newer versions of Windows. So it doesn't work on our system. I'm sure that was my fault not the sellers. It must have been listed on the description. But we can't use it.	negative
0	Disappointed	Very disappointed in the service received from the seller....attempted to return this item several times. Never received a response and the onlineinstructions unclear. Beware if you buy you're probably stuck with it!	negative
1	One of the most important books I have ever read.	In 1990 I needed to heal and create a new life. I found Shakti Gawain's book - Creative Visualization" and did just that. I now know how to create whatever I need in my life to make me happy - and I also know what makes me happy! I constantly point people to this book. It is one of two of the most important books I have ever read. Please - do your self a favor - devour this book and it's lessons. Peace	positive
0	Not happy with this Video	Thought this might be a little more scientific/health oriented. Wish I could have read a review before purchasing it. Real basic and not much information. Program is like a typical talk show with guests etc. I wouldn't waste my time and money on this!!!!	negative
0	Only for Newbies to Captain Beerfart	This is a retrospective spanning most of Don's career, with some excellent song choices. However, for rabid fans like me who own every released Captain Beefheart recording, this adds no value since except for a single song it's all previously released material.For newbies, or for an overview of all Beefheart's best material, this is the CD to get. But then you'd just end up getting all the other recordings anyway. Grow Fins is for the rabid fan, by the way.	negative
1	LED Headlamp	I really like this headlamp. It's well-made and powerful. I had intended it for hiking and for occasional use around the yard at night. But I have found that it's excellent for all inside home repair work. Working under a sink, for instance. No need to hold a flashlight or set up a lamp. I've used other headlamps for home and auto work but the brightness and endurance of this one make it a better experience.	positive
0	iffy	This album is a bit of a break from their previous work: instead of the lush, standard-length songs, this album is comprised primarily of short, stark little vignettes. Interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it.	negative
1	A real INDIE FILM WONDER!!	Everything about this film feels genuine, it's location in Boston, especially the house located directly under the Mystic River Bridge in Chelsea, PERFECTION. The characters the stars meet along the way leave deep impressions as well, like the psychiatrist played by Aleks Wierzbicki, who for a brief moment steals the movie helping the main character move past her own obstacles.An ALL TIME FAVORITE film....HIGHLY recommended!	positive
0	defective disc.	after buying alice cooper- brutally live, i played it but the seconed half of the disc is scambled, so i returned it , i recieved a new one, put it into my player hoping it would'nt happen again, but it did,do other buyers experience this same problem?i am not going to return this dvd a third time.	negative
1	A "must-have" for explorers of reality	I've been studying metaphysics for almost 15 years and have dozens of metaphysical books including all the Seth books. This book ties together many concepts presented elsewhere in a manner that brings complicated, esoteric material into graspable form. For the student of Seth, Elias, Abraham and others, I think this book is a must-have resource.	positive
1	buy them on sale, they don't last long	I use alot of ink cartridges. These are small and need to be replaced often. They're packaged well so you can replace the cartridge easily without getting ink all over you.	positive
1	Great!	Not much to say other than this is great! Good value, since it comes with a lanyard. I love Fox40. I used them for lifeguarding and now as a coach. Good sound, very loud, and comfortable strap.	positive
0	Insert Your Own Blonde Joke Here	If one realizes that over $600,000.00 American dollars were advanced to this English hack for this sort of dreck than one will better understand why the publishing industry is the mess it is today. Simply odious and obscene, in a totally boring way.	negative
0	Some garbled text	This edition has a nice photo of Longstreet, but early garbled text lead me to switch to a typo free edition, which was also cost free! I retained this edition as a back up, but the free edition has given me no cause to re-open this one.	negative
1	hall of fame material	not only a mans book but a womens book. the book pulls at your heart strings. the trails and tribulations of milts life on the field and off the field. and what the players had to go through that era and how they paved the way for the players of today to reap the benefits that they recieve today.the players of today dont give a dam about old ballplayers and what milt and the ballplayers did for them. all they care is about themselves. would be an excellent movie.	positive
0	Pharrell, stop singing.	If you enjoy an overwhelming ego ranting about how hot he is and how many girls he bangs and etc., then you'll enjoy this. You'll also appreciate it if you have no sense of quality music whatsoever. You 5-star reviewers must be smokin' something.	negative
1	life changing	I originally read this book several years ago and it transformed my view of the world. It woke me up to the idea that the chaos and brutality of the present world haven't always existed, and did not have to exist. The evidence that Eisler presents for the existence of prehistoric partnership societies is compelling. The only possible area where the book isn't so convincing is its search for the causes of patriarchy and violence. Steve Taylor's recent book The Fall goes very deeply into the psychological roots of these problems andThe Fall: The Evidence for a Golden Age, 6,000 years of Insanity and the Dawning of a New Erapresents a very inspiring view of the human race's possible future.	positive
1	Great Animated Book!	Love it. My little sister passed this book on to my 3 yr old daughter since she had it for about 10yrs and is now a teen. My daughter loves the book so much, that I now had to get a new one because of the yrs of wears and tears. I definitely recommend. Fun to read to the little ones.	positive
1	Oh... wow!!! Top 10 all-time!	Short but sweet: I've never been as envoious of an author since Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom's "Jesus Incindent, Lazarus Effect and Ascention Factor" trilogy, or Paul Preuss' and Arthur Clarke's "Venus Prime" series... Not the lyrical Tolkien type worship, mind, far from it!Techno Sci-fi fans will be aware of Bill Gibson, Phil Dick, Greg Benford, Isaac and Arthur; you get the picture. If you thought "thought" itself was dead with the disapearence of Omni, I've got a faith-restorative for you : ) His name is Neil! And I forget when I last laughed so hard... I'm SO jealous!!! Its not fair that its all a propos, now more than ever...	positive
0	Still Trying to Watch This Movie	I tried to watch The Straight Story last night, but had to give up after a while because Sissy Spacek was driving me up the wall. What an overdone, annoying performance. But I'm going to give it another try tonight, because Richard Farnsworth is so good. Also, I'm encouraged by the fact that one viewer who's seen it all the way through said that Spacek is out of the movie after the first half hour. By the way, another viewer stated that this was Farnsworth's first lead role. Doesn't anyone remember 1982's The Grey Fox? A terrific movie!	negative
1	Unusual and surprising read	Recently I read the wonderful Peace Like a River, in which one of the youthful characters is a Zane Grey fan and writes poetry in the western mode. Remembering that Zane Grey was one of those authors I always meant to read, I located a copy of Riders of the Purple Sage and settled in.Like several of the other reviewers, I found the book an ambivalent read, but one that ultimately hooked me. The anti-Mormon tone is a bit thick, and the heroic cowboys are as realistic as James Bond. The sentimentality drips at times, and the dialog is stiff. Yet. . .the story is catching, and it is fun to see how so many of the western mythic and archetypal elements Grey weaves into his most famous novel. Great literature it isn't, but take on its own terms, it's enjoyable.	positive
0	These are simply awful	I ordered these earbuds based on Amazon reviews and Sennheiser's reputation. They just arrived and aside from the fact that the cord was constructed so that one side was 6 inches longer than the other, the sound on these is hideous, It is tinny and distorts easily. These things sound like something you would get as a prize in a Cracker Jack box. This is the first time in years that a product I have purchased from Amazon is so totally different than the reviews describing it. Save your $50 and spend it on earbuds that work.	negative
1	Searching In The Desert	The movie and its case were in excellent shape. The movie was a little steamy but why not with Sophia Loren as part of the cast. It was a different type of movie to see John Wayne in though. Thanks RWM	positive
1	A Celestial Voice	A wonderful demonstration of her flexibility and cross genre talent. Truly a divinely gifted woman.	positive
1	Its next generation what can I say!	This is one of the greatest tv series of all time, you can't go wrong with Picard, data, jordy, and the whole lot. Obviously some of the special effects look a bit dated, especially on the first season, but thats to be expected. Dispite this the story lines are solid and the characters all give great preformances. This is deffinatly one of these series that any good sci fi lover should own.	positive
0	I can't hear you over the blender.....	You need ear protection to use this blender. We make smoothies every morning and my dog heads out into the garage, through the doggie door, when this thing is flipped on. Granted it does a great job but it sounds like a wood working tool!If you are hard of hearing go ahead and purchase this blender.	negative
0	DON'T BOTHER	I bought this voice recorder. Below on the page Amazon had listed the accessories that go with this product. The AC adapter listed on the Amazon site is WRONG. Furthermore, don't bother buying this because the adapter is almost impossible to find. Amazon should correct their error and mention that the product and the adapter have been discontinued. A lot of money to pay for a recorder that doesn't have any attainable accessories. I am really surprised at how Amazon has become very error-ridden of late. I will take my business elsewhere for all things not books.	negative
1	A touching story which still gives pause for reflection.

0	Won't burn	The music on this album is fine, great, I love Ween. What has really offended my husband and I about the actual CD and its format is that we are not able to burn a full copy of the CD. We always copy our CDs because when you play them in the car they get terribly scratched up and stop working after a little while. But we can't burn this CD, not on our computers or anyone else's. They formatted it in a way that prevents us from burning a copy, for our own personal use. Bad show. Were it not for this straight-up rude format, it would be a five-star item.	negative
0	Steer way clear of this product!	After my subscription to NIS 2002 expired, I made the mistake of upgrading to 2003. It was never stable, only worked half the time and was causing numerous system problems. In desperation, I finally uninstalled and reinstalled. Big mistake! After the reinstall my computer wouldn't boot at all. I finally managed to get my hard drive reverted to a point after the uninstall but before the reinstall. Even with the product supposedly unistalled, my system is very unstable. I have heard from others that uninstall doesn't completely wipe this monster from your system.	negative

0	Nozzle snapped under pressure	Within a half hour of taking the power washer out of the box, the plastic?!? spray nozzle snapped... one would think that under 1600 PSI something other than plastic would be used for at least lining the inside of the nozzle... but I guess not...Called the manufacturer for a replacement part and the rep I spoke with knew virtually nothing about the product ("I only work in the call center") and told me it would be 12-14 business days for a new part.

0	poor quality...expected better	I agree with some of the other reviewers that have said the quality of the materials are poor. Compared to my Ravensburger puzzle pieces, the Melissa and Doug pieces are flimsy and also the edges are a little bit frayed. Both of these aspects make the pieces difficult to put together. ....so when two pieces look like they belong together but don't seem to fit quite right, you question whether those pieces truly are a match. Kind of takes the fun out of finding a piece that fits.I gave this product one star not because it fell apart but because I expected better. Try the ravensburger puzzles instead.	negative

1	Good for what I wanted.	I bought this text used to teach myself chemistry. I never got to take it in school and always wanted to learn. The book came with the cd-rom but I have yet to use it. It's a good entry level book into chemistry. With a little patience I was able to understand and retain the information. My only complaint is that the math isn't always shown and the steps are not always laid out to ease understanding. The book is cumulative. What you learn in chapter 1, you will need to apply to chapter 2. 1 and 2 apply to chapter 3. By the 15th chapter, the book no longer reminds you of the previous concepts, so at times I had to go back to earlier chapters to he remind myself how they came to certain formula conclusions. Obviously, this would have been more clear with a teacher or professor instructing along with the book. So for a classroom text, I assume there would be no complaints. I think the book is worth the buy and I'll hold on to it.	positive
0	Won't hold a charge	Nice bright light, but takes forever to charge, and after about a week, the batteries lose their charge. And you are not supposed to leave it plugged in all the time, so when you want the light, you first need to charge it for 12 hours!!! Not very convenient.	negative

Pay particular attention to the song " Didn't I" the music and the lyrics of this love song with the amazing trumpet solo in the middle of the song will blow you away.

Very disappointed

I know that this hoe cost about half of what I could have bought one at a garden center for, but I was very disappointed. After about three to four times of striking the ground in my freshly tilled garden, the blade on this hoe bent as if someone had put it in a vise. The blade is so thin and the metal so soft, I can take my hands and bend it. Not a very well designed product in my book. I am very disappointed and would not recommend this product to anyone.

Great Replica

For a while I have been thinking about getting a Force FX Lightsaber. I eventually saved up enough money to get one and I spent a few weeks looking at all the different lightsabers. I eventually chose this one and I am glad I did! The lightsaber has a beautiful glow to it and it looks incredibly realistic when lit up (It lights up the whole room!). This lightsaber is however very delicate and will scratch fairly easily. As long as you don't use it for any serious fighting it should be fine. I love this lightsaber and so will you!

Thorough but Overly Dense

My Professor required this textbook as the main textbook for "International Human Rights Law." The book contains almost everything you would need to have a grasp of current international human rights law, but does not contain enough commentary to help a student truly put all the pieces together and think critically about those pieces. Unfortunately, unless you are reading this book in the context of a law school or graduate level course, you simply cannot use this book to gain a good general grasp of the development of human rights law or thought. However, if you are simply looking to have one book (albeit a very large book) that contains all of the most important cases, writings, treatises, etc., in one location, this is that book.

Are you with me?

This is a very special Dan album in the sense that it was the last album with some of the old members and the first to use more session players.Apart from the fact that technically speaking it was a disaster (the DBX machine destroyed the mix, there were tiny mustard lumps on one of the tapes, from a workman's lunch at the tape manufacturer), it is a remarkably perfect album.The compositions are rock based, but jazzy in execution (listen to Your Gold Teeth II, shifting to a very smooth jazz waltz after the intro). Musicians like Jeff Porcaro, Michael Omartian, Michael McDonald and Victor Feldman all contribute to one of rock's finest moments.This album is a collection of songs you will have to get used to - the secrets are very well hidden and only come out after repeated playing.

Richard Alley is a great storyteller.

Alley really knows how to write. This book is about the ice core record of past climate, the adventure of collecting the ice cores in Greenland, what drives climate change, and a bit about global warming. He makes analogies to everyday situations that humorously and clearly explain the science. A fun read.

Not that great of a game, so far

I bought this game last week and have yet to get a mission started. The game comes with wrong aircraft configuration files and you have to figure them out yourself.Doesn't matter what mission I try to get, it always says not enough fuel. I have no idea on how much fuel to get. So I go on the forums and hear you have to fly in FSX for 10 minutes and multiply this and do that then stand on one leg, spin around and whistle Dixie.Why could'nt they just put the proper config files in? Why? They were too lazy.I guess I will have to figure it out myself. If you get this game and plan on flying and doing runs right away, think again. I didnt do my homework, so now I am stuck with it.I will review again if I can figure it out.

The Compassionate Life is an inspiring and beautifully written work, deceptively simple. The Dalai Lama is a man with firm beliefs and his writings make that clear.

Great for bike/run routes.

I know I'm a minority but I got the program free with my Dell laptop and love it so much I keep it in the drive 24/7. In fact, for me it's almost worth the price of the laptop. I use the program to map and get distance on running and bicycling routes. I have found it to be very accurate when doing spot comparisons with my car and bike odometers. I set points at corners and get a route distance and have amassed at least 30 run or bike routes of varying length. If I could only make it do elevation I'd be thrilled but then it would cost [more money].

Hey Ma, It Worked!

Yes, I used this well-illustrated and easily understandable book and designed a web site in one (long) weekend. The structure is in four parts ascending from the general to the detail, from easy to difficult. The examples are EXACTLY like the screen, unlike other guides in which there were variations.I researched other support groups and found some written in Microsoftese, a language that few understand. Others had few illustrations or assumed you knew more than you did or were unorganized. This one, recommended by a friend, was perfect. In three minutes I displayed a web page (with the words "THIS IS A TEST" in bright red) using my browser, Netscape. From there, it was downhill. You can stay simple or get complex. You might also want to invest in an HTML book if you wish to modify the code and go further. All in all, a great experience.

Written with pompous, pretentious and convoluted style, this book is an exercise in tedium.

Good bedtime reading

This small book is arranged in 91 short segments--each a couple of small pages in length. I've just finished reading it at bedtime, a couple of segments per night, over a month or two. Very pleasant reading for that hour. The author is an orthodox rabbi, I believe, and the emphasis is often Jewish--as well as other things, too--but really, it's not too heavy on Jewish emphasis, and I suspect that non-Jews, as well as non-religious Jews (I fall into this category), would find this book a very good thing, too. The title tells it all: the book is about the value and methods of developing patience, with each segment having a brief discussion followed by an example or two. I do feel the book has put me in touch with some ethical issues, and some practical issues, and some just plain human issues, involving patientce--all in a way designed to encourage personal growth while also doing good deeds for others.

The dangers of loyalty

Made just about twenty years after the end of WWII, this samurai drama is a provocative cautionary tale about the way a code of honor based on fealty to military leaders can be manipulated by the unscrupulous men at the top. Eager for reform, Gennosuke (Hira Mikijiro) , a rank and file samurai, is urged to assassinate a high-ranking minister, then forced to go on the run after his patron disavows knowledge of his actions. Pursued by the daughter of the slain man, he vows to live selfishly like a "beast" until he encounters another samurai, Yamane (Kato Go), who is working a secret gold mine with his young wife. Recognizing that this couple is also being used, he tries to make them aware of their peril.Gosha Hideo's brief drama is a solid film with good action, fine acting, and an interesting message that shows Japan struggling with its militaristic heritage.

Trees died for this book ?

Dylan's prose in this book is full of "hip cat" babble and no substance. I actually began to laugh everytime he launched into his hip cat speak - which should qualify his memoir as a comedy work. A pitiful piece of work from someone trying to remain relevant.I mean man this read is like a razor blade cuttin' lunch meat at the deli counter of hard life - walkin' down a road with no end or begining and heavy traffic all goin' the same direction. Sleepin' on a couch that is too hard and too short and was made that way just for you. Through my eyes it attacked my soul like fire burning hungry dogs that are tryin' to steal your refrigerator.The book will appeal to Dylan sycophants, but everyone else can save their money.

Broke after about a year

Cable worked well for about a year and then we had problems with sound only coming out through one channel, and you had to fiddle with the fit of the cable in the phone jack and pray for the best. This worked for a while but now it has gotten to a point that it almost never works right.I know it's not a problem with the phone or my system because other cables don't have this problem. YMMV, but I expected better longevity.Also, the cable is almost a little too short. The length was okay for my situation, but you should consider that before purchasing.

Almost perfect! Just one complaint...

I watched this series on Netflix, and enjoyed it immensely... so much so that I wanted to see the bonus material that is on the DVD (and not on Netflix).I do have one complaint: the segment on Tibet makes it sound if everything is now oh-so-wonderful in that Himalayan region. If it is so delightful, then why do the Tibetan refugees (including the Dalai Lama), now located in India, not move back to Tibet? Why are Tibetan monks in that region setting themselves on fire to protest the current situation? Were the documentary's producers "guided" to a pro-Chinese stance (perhaps as a condition for filming in that region)? If so, the objectivity of this travelogue is questionable at best.

Beautiful strangness

I bought this book having previously read, "Where are you going, Where have you Been? And more recently *BD*11 1 87 in the Atlantic, which blew me away. So I bought High Lonesome for further thrills and I am not disappointed. I really enjoyed "The Lady with the Pet Dog" This story had such subtle genius that it wheedled into my subconscious and I had to finish it by the second sitting."Fat Man My Love" is a grim and starkly original tale that takes courage to get through but it's worth it. In fact all of Oats' tales are a little risky because each character exposes our own weaknesses so well.I did not give it a fifth star because the physical characteristics of the book, paper, cover, and the texture seems pulpy, cheap and prone to yellowing.Other than that, an outstanding product.

one of my least favorite suess books

I ADORE Dr. Seuss. In fact, I'm pretty sure that his work is the source of a sizeable chunk of my love for language in general, and for poetry. In fact, I think my love for Shakespeare started as a child, with Dr. Suess. This stuff was really profound for me.But I have to say, if Geisel really did write this one, he was NOT in top form. The music of his language is missing - some of the verses are downright clunky, and the usual depth is lost in horrific lines like "... together we'll trot to some real cool spot and play a few video games."Maybe he was trying to be contemporary. And some of the illustrations here really ARE wonderful, but I have to say, this Seuss lover (who now spends as much as an hour and a half a day reading the stuff to his own daughter, who love it) finds this one way off the mark.

Hard Boiled 70s Style

I love Philip Marlow! Robert Altman and Elliott Gould team up to make this adaptation outstanding. This is what cinema is all about. Clever camera angles, strange locations, surperb acting and all draped in a 70s haze, part pot smoke, part porno. Check out a very young "Arnold" as well as Ross' and Rachel's dad when he was the hippest Jew in Hollywood. This is classic noir. Gangsters, molls, drunk writers, bad cops, and Marlow. What these folks did with a convoluted Chandler book is a work of art.

Run From This Book Screaming

I am using this book as a text in a college class. I rated it at one star because there was no lower rating. The T-SQL syntax is wrong more often than not, and this makes utilizing this book more difficult than it should be; the T-SQL examples are so poor as to be considered useless.In addition to T-SQL syntax errors, there are plain English errors as well. I am nearing the end of the class where this book was used as a text, and in retrospect it appears that it has not been edited at all.I would expect the editing quality from a company with Sybex's reputation to be more thorough than it is.If you pass this exam and have writing skills, perhaps you should apply to Sybex as a technical editor; it appears as though they could use the help.

One of the most important books I have ever read.

In 1990 I needed to heal and create a new life. I found Shakti Gawain's book - Creative Visualization" and did just that. I now know how to create whatever I need in my life to make me happy - and I also know what makes me happy! I constantly point people to this book. It is one of two of the most important books I have ever read. Please - do your self a favor - devour this book and it's lessons. Peace

Not happy with this Video

Thought this might be a little more scientific/health oriented. Wish I could have read a review before purchasing it. Real basic and not much information. Program is like a typical talk show with guests etc. I wouldn't waste my time and money on this!!!!

Only for Newbies to Captain Beerfart

This is a retrospective spanning most of Don's career, with some excellent song choices. However, for rabid fans like me who own every released Captain Beefheart recording, this adds no value since except for a single song it's all previously released material.For newbies, or for an overview of all Beefheart's best material, this is the CD to get. But then you'd just end up getting all the other recordings anyway. Grow Fins is for the rabid fan, by the way.

LED Headlamp

I really like this headlamp. It's well-made and powerful. I had intended it for hiking and for occasional use around the yard at night. But I have found that it's excellent for all inside home repair work. Working under a sink, for instance. No need to hold a flashlight or set up a lamp. I've used other headlamps for home and auto work but the brightness and endurance of this one make it a better experience.

iffy

This album is a bit of a break from their previous work: instead of the lush, standard-length songs, this album is comprised primarily of short, stark little vignettes. Interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it.

A real INDIE FILM WONDER!!

Everything about this film feels genuine, it's location in Boston, especially the house located directly under the Mystic River Bridge in Chelsea, PERFECTION. The characters the stars meet along the way leave deep impressions as well, like the psychiatrist played by Aleks Wierzbicki, who for a brief moment steals the movie helping the main character move past her own obstacles.An ALL TIME FAVORITE film....HIGHLY recommended!

A "must-have" for explorers of reality

I've been studying metaphysics for almost 15 years and have dozens of metaphysical books including all the Seth books. This book ties together many concepts presented elsewhere in a manner that brings complicated, esoteric material into graspable form. For the student of Seth, Elias, Abraham and others, I think this book is a must-have resource.

Some garbled text

This edition has a nice photo of Longstreet, but early garbled text lead me to switch to a typo free edition, which was also cost free! I retained this edition as a back up, but the free edition has given me no cause to re-open this one.

hall of fame material

not only a mans book but a womens book. the book pulls at your heart strings. the trails and tribulations of milts life on the field and off the field. and what the players had to go through that era and how they paved the way for the players of today to reap the benefits that they recieve today.the players of today dont give a dam about old ballplayers and what milt and the ballplayers did for them. all they care is about themselves. would be an excellent movie.

life changing

I originally read this book several years ago and it transformed my view of the world. It woke me up to the idea that the chaos and brutality of the present world haven't always existed, and did not have to exist. The evidence that Eisler presents for the existence of prehistoric partnership societies is compelling. The only possible area where the book isn't so convincing is its search for the causes of patriarchy and violence. Steve Taylor's recent book The Fall goes very deeply into the psychological roots of these problems andThe Fall: The Evidence for a Golden Age, 6,000 years of Insanity and the Dawning of a New Erapresents a very inspiring view of the human race's possible future.

Great Animated Book!

Love it. My little sister passed this book on to my 3 yr old daughter since she had it for about 10yrs and is now a teen. My daughter loves the book so much, that I now had to get a new one because of the yrs of wears and tears. I definitely recommend. Fun to read to the little ones.

Oh... wow!!! Top 10 all-time!

Short but sweet: I've never been as envoious of an author since Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom's "Jesus Incindent, Lazarus Effect and Ascention Factor" trilogy, or Paul Preuss' and Arthur Clarke's "Venus Prime" series... Not the lyrical Tolkien type worship, mind, far from it!Techno Sci-fi fans will be aware of Bill Gibson, Phil Dick, Greg Benford, Isaac and Arthur; you get the picture. If you thought "thought" itself was dead with the disapearence of Omni, I've got a faith-restorative for you : ) His name is Neil! And I forget when I last laughed so hard... I'm SO jealous!!! Its not fair that its all a propos, now more than ever...

Still Trying to Watch This Movie

I tried to watch The Straight Story last night, but had to give up after a while because Sissy Spacek was driving me up the wall. What an overdone, annoying performance. But I'm going to give it another try tonight, because Richard Farnsworth is so good. Also, I'm encouraged by the fact that one viewer who's seen it all the way through said that Spacek is out of the movie after the first half hour. By the way, another viewer stated that this was Farnsworth's first lead role. Doesn't anyone remember 1982's The Grey Fox? A terrific movie!

Unusual and surprising read

Recently I read the wonderful Peace Like a River, in which one of the youthful characters is a Zane Grey fan and writes poetry in the western mode. Remembering that Zane Grey was one of those authors I always meant to read, I located a copy of Riders of the Purple Sage and settled in.Like several of the other reviewers, I found the book an ambivalent read, but one that ultimately hooked me. The anti-Mormon tone is a bit thick, and the heroic cowboys are as realistic as James Bond. The sentimentality drips at times, and the dialog is stiff. Yet. . .the story is catching, and it is fun to see how so many of the western mythic and archetypal elements Grey weaves into his most famous novel. Great literature it isn't, but take on its own terms, it's enjoyable.

These are simply awful

I ordered these earbuds based on Amazon reviews and Sennheiser's reputation. They just arrived and aside from the fact that the cord was constructed so that one side was 6 inches longer than the other, the sound on these is hideous, It is tinny and distorts easily. These things sound like something you would get as a prize in a Cracker Jack box. This is the first time in years that a product I have purchased from Amazon is so totally different than the reviews describing it. Save your $50 and spend it on earbuds that work.

Its next generation what can I say!

This is one of the greatest tv series of all time, you can't go wrong with Picard, data, jordy, and the whole lot. Obviously some of the special effects look a bit dated, especially on the first season, but thats to be expected. Dispite this the story lines are solid and the characters all give great preformances. This is deffinatly one of these series that any good sci fi lover should own.

I can't hear you over the blender.....

You need ear protection to use this blender. We make smoothies every morning and my dog heads out into the garage, through the doggie door, when this thing is flipped on. Granted it does a great job but it sounds like a wood working tool!If you are hard of hearing go ahead and purchase this blender.

DON'T BOTHER

I bought this voice recorder. Below on the page Amazon had listed the accessories that go with this product. The AC adapter listed on the Amazon site is WRONG. Furthermore, don't bother buying this because the adapter is almost impossible to find. Amazon should correct their error and mention that the product and the adapter have been discontinued. A lot of money to pay for a recorder that doesn't have any attainable accessories. I am really surprised at how Amazon has become very error-ridden of late. I will take my business elsewhere for all things not books.

A touching story which still gives pause for reflection.

Straightforward prose with a direct approach that immediately caught my attention with a storyline that combines Same Time Next Year (Neil Simon) and Bridges of Madison County (Waller). A confession of a mistake that doesn't ask for forgiveness, just understanding

Won't burn

The music on this album is fine, great, I love Ween. What has really offended my husband and I about the actual CD and its format is that we are not able to burn a full copy of the CD. We always copy our CDs because when you play them in the car they get terribly scratched up and stop working after a little while. But we can't burn this CD, not on our computers or anyone else's. They formatted it in a way that prevents us from burning a copy, for our own personal use. Bad show. Were it not for this straight-up rude format, it would be a five-star item.

Steer *way* clear of this product!

After my subscription to NIS 2002 expired, I made the mistake of upgrading to 2003. It was never stable, only worked half the time and was causing numerous system problems. In desperation, I finally uninstalled and reinstalled. Big mistake! After the reinstall my computer wouldn't boot at all. I finally managed to get my hard drive reverted to a point after the uninstall but before the reinstall. Even with the product supposedly unistalled, my system is very unstable. I have heard from others that uninstall doesn't completely wipe this monster from your system.

Nozzle snapped under pressure

Within a half hour of taking the power washer out of the box, the plastic?!? spray nozzle snapped... one would think that under 1600 PSI something other than plastic would be used for at least lining the inside of the nozzle... but I guess not...Called the manufacturer for a replacement part and the rep I spoke with knew virtually nothing about the product ("I only work in the call center") and told me it would be 12-14 business days for a new part. So this one is on its way back to Amazon.This is the exact same problem as the reviewer below, so it seems like a systemic problem with the nozzle design.

poor quality...expected better

I agree with some of the other reviewers that have said the quality of the materials are poor. Compared to my Ravensburger puzzle pieces, the Melissa and Doug pieces are flimsy and also the edges are a little bit frayed. Both of these aspects make the pieces difficult to put together. ....so when two pieces look like they belong together but don't seem to fit quite right, you question whether those pieces truly are a match. Kind of takes the fun out of finding a piece that fits.I gave this product one star not because it fell apart but because I expected better. Try the ravensburger puzzles instead.

Blade 2 is a boring, gore-fest of a movie.

I rented Blade 2 with some high expectations but was let down tremendously. The special effects are sub-par and the gore was just too much. There is constant fighting in the movie and it all just starts to feel repetitive and boring. I would recomend this to die-hard Blade fans and goth's, but that's about it.

Why did she make this movie?

While her acting was good, even with an edge, I couldn't see the point for her making the film. It was horribly disappointing, not uplifting at all. I kept wanted to turn it off, yet I kept hoping it would get better. It didn't in my opinion.

Good for what I wanted.

I bought this text used to teach myself chemistry. I never got to take it in school and always wanted to learn. The book came with the cd-rom but I have yet to use it. It's a good entry level book into chemistry. With a little patience I was able to understand and retain the information. My only complaint is that the math isn't always shown and the steps are not always laid out to ease understanding. The book is cumulative. What you learn in chapter 1, you will need to apply to chapter 2. 1 and 2 apply to chapter 3. By the 15th chapter, the book no longer reminds you of the previous concepts, so at times I had to go back to earlier chapters to he remind myself how they came to certain formula conclusions. Obviously, this would have been more clear with a teacher or professor instructing along with the book. So for a classroom text, I assume there would be no complaints. I think the book is worth the buy and I'll hold on to it.

Won't hold a charge

Nice bright light, but takes forever to charge, and after about a week, the batteries lose their charge. And you are not supposed to leave it plugged in all the time, so when you want the light, you first need to charge it for 12 hours!!! Not very convenient.

Disney at it's best....

Ok, I know this wasn't one of the grand scale, high dollar sound tracks like The Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast, but this is one of my all time favorite Disney movies and sound tracks. As a kindergarten teacher it is really fun with the kids. I love Sebastian Cabot and Phil Harris is at his best. You will want to dance with King Louie, and appreciate the bare necessities of life with Moglie and Baloo. It is a must have for any Disney fan and collection.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES

This is one of the best movies ever. The cast stands out in this movie about a women's baseball leaue during WW2. Tom Hanks usually gets top billing in this movie, but the top billing should go to Gena Davis and Lori Petty, who play the sisters that the movie is based around.

Ray Thomas "Master Moody Blue"

I have waited for this album to be released on CD literally for decades. If you are a true Moody Blues fan you NEED this CD. There are many beautiful songs with great Moody Blues -like orchestration that you will be so happy that you discovered this "lost Treasure" by Ray Thomas who was such an integral part of the group. Pay particular attention to the song " Didn't I" the music and the lyrics of this love song with the amazing trumpet solo in the middle of the song will blow you away. Believe me you won't be sorry- stop reading reviews and just buy it if you are a Moddy Blues fan....You'll be so glad that you did..........Good Luck

Memeo bugs cause Windows Update to crash

I installed Memeo free trial and found it couterinuitive with very poor documentation. I recently downloaded a Windows update which attempted to install for about 9 hours and finally crashed. After a series of really scary black and white screens, I remembered that I had had a couple of Memeo error messages. After several attempts, I was able to uninstall Memeo and then the Windows update proceeded without incident. I conclude that Memeo was the cause of the update crash. Don't even try it!

A light hearted enjoyable read!

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. I can't wait to read the 2 books that start this "saga" off. What I liked the best was that there were several characters that were very involved and because of this, I can't wait for the books that will follow this one. Yes, there are some typical aspects to the story but I was surprised more than once by the turn of events. This is definately a fun, easy read that was light hearted and just plain ol' enjoyable.

It was ok while it lasted.

We got this game for our six year old last Summer. The kids really liked playing it but every time you push down the ghost, playing pieces would fall off. Eventually, it got to be very annoying for us and the kids. The board is not sturdy at all and we never could get the stairs to stay on or the spider web and the moose head was a pain to put together. We just tossed it.

Not worth the money

My wife and I bought 2 of these brooms at a home show a couple of years ago. The first one fell apart after 1 year. The rubber had dried-out and started to shed 'bristles'. Shortly afterwards, the handle mount (female screw thread) split, and the handle would no longer stay connected. Now the 2nd broom has had the mount suffer the same fate.After the 1st broom fell apart, I tried several times top contact the manufacturer. They would NOT respond to my written request for warranty. Warranted for life? Not when you cannot get them to respond. They work slick in the demos, but fall apart, and the warranty is useless.ProsWorks well outdoors for some things.Has a squeegee.ConsFall apart prematurely.Warranty is non-existent.The people that sell snake-oil like these.
