1	Breadman Ultimate	I've had an older version of this breadmaker and use it all the time. I especially like that it's programmable. The person I purchased the new one for loves it. I would recommend this breadmaker to anyone looking to purchase one.	positive
1	2nd favorite book I own	This is a great book that is up there with "A Course in Miracles". It is a book I try to keep on my person at all times for a quick fix of right mindedness and spiritual grounding. It is second to "Course in Miracles" on spirituality and metaphysics. I have found a few contradictions, but who cares when the rest of the book is full of great wisdom and perspective.	positive
0	never recived my product.	its a week after it says i should hve gooten my products and nothing is here. i am not sure who has it but its not me so i am a little upset. well i take that back i very upset. :((	negative
0	blue petal mist mister	product was okay, easily knocked over, this product has past it's time. Other items have taken it's place now. Truly, the first time my dog ran past it caplouey! on the floor it went pretty, but not practical	negative
0	My copy went into the rubbish bin	A few questions:1. Must the author throw in at least 2 brand names on each page? Is it that important for me to know a character wears Armani boxers or has an Ikea bed? Product placement does not equal character development.2. Were the copy editors high? Complete sentences are not standard, and grammatical errors made me gasp throughout the novel.3. Is this a necessary retelling of the tired story of an Indian girl resisting her fate to indulge in western ways? No, no it's not. I am very intrigued by Indian culture and would love to learn more but this novel was so low-brow and thoughtless, I'll be more skeptical in the future. Just because this book is part of a series doesn't mean it's worth a penny. Don't waste your time.	negative
1	best 5 minutes on the cd	I love the whole Confessions Cd for sure, but this song is the best on the disc in my opinion. This song takes me to another place. It's so lush, yet so sparse. The beat is totally infectious, you can't help but dance to this track. True, the mixes aren't the best for this song - stick to the original version. It's songs like this that keep Madonna on her throne.	positive
1	Does the job	The thing about bread knives... it doesn't take anything special, like Damascus steel or even high carbon steel - the serrations do the job. So in that regard this knife is over-equipped for the job. It cuts well, looks nice (I got it because I have other Kleve knives) and is long enough for any size bread. I feel that it was a bit much (at ~$16) for what it is - Kleve knives aren't supposed to cost this much, they're nothing special. But at the right price, they're a good deal.	positive
1	Time Saver!	It really does work! I call it a true time saver because at the same time that the machine is reaming out the citrus fruit, the stirring bar does a good job of mixing the sugar/sweetner into the lemonade.	positive
0	Starting out	This is a good place to start if you're in any way interested in Romanian culture as Creanga and Eminescu are Romanian cultural legends. As usual, though the translations are good, the originals are always best, as you would know if you've read works by any great translated writer.Creanga specialised in stories for children but these stories are also allegorical, so subtle that children don't notice but adults will. I remember his stories firing up my imagination and I have a purse with two coins.Eminescu is, in my opinion, the greatest of the Romantics because he had so much more to say and today he is more or less ignored by the West. If you go to visit his home there will be no one there but the guide because Romanians are not aware that tourism can be their greatest strength.	negative
1	I love this cd	On a depressingly slow Valentine's Day Sunday at work, this cd made part of that eight hours fly. She explained my whole life in the title track and she doesn't know me from a can of paint. I had to play that song four times back to back and discovered the tears were running down my face. Wow!	positive
1	Wonderful	I love the old stories with Hastings and Miss Lemon. Suchet is just so perfect playing Poirot. The BlueRay quality is superb. I am now after getting that dog!	positive
1	Loved it!	I have always loved this movie. Heartwarming. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves music and likes good movies.	positive
0	Laughable story, dreadful History	Hollywood's Spanish Black Legend in its most ridiculous shape. Unable -and unwilling- to learn anything about our contries, Tinseltown's screenwriters come up with their worst prejudices -dating back from the times of the Armada- to "reenact" the Conquest of Mexico. Cortez (César Romero, of all people!) enters the city of Cholulu (?), fights the Inquisition (!) and marches on to Mexico City to establish "America". There are plenty of colorful "señorritas", gay "caballeros", stoic indians, cruel inquisidors, saccharine friars and the ever-present "latin looking" hero with a greasy hairlock dangling from his brow. Only Carmen Miranda is missing! All Spaniards look like gypsies, all indians look like statues and Jean Peters seduces Tyrone Power dancing a "zesty fandango" at your usual nighfall "fiesta". Do yourself a favor: READ A BOOK (that also goes for the guy who wrote this trash)!	negative
0	the secret comment	its alright CD , something to listen to while driving. its self explanatory. in short , every person should be positive in thinking and be a good person, .	negative
0	Fairly Average	nothing really stands to me here.typical Prince over the past Decade Overly Arranged&Performed.also Sunshine reminds me way too much of D'angelo's "Untitled" which was a Prince tribute but a throwaway cut nevertheless."When Will we be paid" was better done by The Staple Singers.Prince&Cover Songs don't go hand&hand.both songs have moments but nothing here is at His Peak Best.Angie Stone is Neutral neither Adding or Subtracting from Sunshine.	negative
1	As Close to Perfect Film Noir as one can get	Early Jack Nicholson is edgy and powerful, and Faye Dunaway is an absolutely superb emotional wreck, in this examination of evil, and the limits to our ability to combat it. The surprise climax is very, very powerful.	positive
0	horror film that could have been better	A young girl Olivia witnesses her prostitute mother get murdered by a client. Years later she becomes a bored housewife marked by the past. Another man Robert Walker Jr. enters the picture but her double life catches up with her. The movie's fine until the second half when it decides to add in a "Vertigo" like element and falters because of it. Suzanna Love and Robert Walker Jr. give good performances. Even with its problems it still is an improvement over Ulli Lommel's previous Boogeyman.	negative
0	Don't waste your money	I hated it! I opened it once read through it and closed it forever. There are foods that I have never heard of before, and most everything is measured in grams. That is not how we do thing here in america. Next to the grams were oz. more like it, but, who in their rigfht mind is going to measure food for toddlers by the ounces and have time!! I just wanted something simple like things I can throw together to make my life easier and my kids healthier, you won't find it here. Title is great thats all!	negative

0	Don't buy if for any kid over 2!	A very young child might enjoy "pretending" to roast a marshmallow, but older children (6-7) don't have 20 minutes to waste making s'mores. The marshmallow never gets hot and gooey. We left it sitting for 15 minutes and it still was only warm. I sent it back, but ended up wasting $10 on shipping both ways. It was a real disappointment.	negative
0	Doesn't stick to wall - defeats purpose	Wouldn't recommend this purchase; it doesn't stick to the wall but at least there's still the balls to play with in the water.	negative
0	Cat6 STP Does NOT Fit in These	Even though the product says it is for Cat 6+, Cat6 STP does NOT fit through the holes. If you are able to shove the strands one at a time at just the right angle and pressure, it will strip a little of the plastic coating off and push through. However, getting all 8 of them through is a time-consuming, next-to-impossible feat.	negative
0	Software crashes!	I decided to buy this webcam as an upgrade to my new Logitech. The Logitech webcam worked but the software only outputs at 15 fps and wmv (I want avi). I emailed Logitech and they said that this is all their software supported.The software install for this Creative webcam is long and complicated. When I try to use the software I get a notice to report the error to Microsoft and the computer locks up. If I do not use the software but leave the webcam plugged in I hear the Windows sound of the device constantly connecting and disconnecting. This stops when I unplug the webcam. I wrote support and they blamed my computer, which is high end and runs everything else.I actually prefer the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP camera itself. It is heavier with a solid base that stays in place.I do not know why both companies cannot provide good software that works. It is pitiful that they are making good cameras with software that is unusable.	negative
0	VB	The item was not fresh although the expiration date was for 1 week ahead of scheduled time. I would not order this again. I was disappointed.	negative
1	most pain free way to learn sounds of the alphabet : )	I got this DVD for my son's 3rd birthday and he loves it. He watches it over and over again and now I'm proud to say that he's learned all his sounds.	positive
0	Get Dragon Tales, Not Great Unknown	When I bought this album, I truly ventured into The Great Unknown. I didn't know how mediocre it would turn out to be. A bit on the lame side even. Although it contains a sprinkle of the old Koxbox sound, it is not as tight as it is weird. And what's the deal with the cover art? If anything, it is likely to boost sales to the members of the community with more active libidos, but that doesn't make the music any better. Perhaps it is to make you think that the erection you get from the album is caused by the music itself. "Wow, this must be good music, it aroused me, huh hyuk!" I don't think so. No amount of soft porn will mask this album's repetitiveness. If you think you are in for the perfection that was their last album, think again. Dragon Tales is where it's at. Good luck finding it though.	negative
0	NOT HOT, TOO NOISY, STEAM SPUTTERER	HAVING ENJOYED BRAUN FLAVOR SELECT PRODUCTS FOR YEARS, I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO BUY THEIR FIRST THERMAL CARAFE STAINLESS STEEL COFFEEMAKER LAST YEAR. BAD DECISION. FROM THE BEGINNING,IT MADE BELCHING NOISES WHILE BREWING EVEN 3 CUPS AND EXCESS STEAM MADE THE COVER WET. ON TOP OF THAT,I FOUND THE THERMAL CARAFE DID NOT KEEP COFFEE ANY HOTTER THAN REGULAR GLASS CARAFE. I CALLED BRAUN BUT THEY WOULD NOT REFUND OR EXCHANGE FOR ANOTHER COFFEEMAKER. THEY DID OFFER TO REPAIR IT IF I WOULD SHIP IT TO AUTHORIZED CENTER. NO THANKS AS THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH IT. TODAY, I ORDERED THE WELL RATED CUISINART 1200 STAINLESS AND BLACK COFFEEMAKER. I WILL REPORT ON THAT AFTER A FEW MONTHS.	negative
0	Not Good	The problem with this book is that it is simply a tactic. Of course everything that Franken talks about is debatable, but he really seems to fall where other liberals have fallen before him.He is good in the fact that he is active and is willing to put alot of what he says on the line by confronting others in a bold way, but there is two main problems with that in itself. First of all, like Michael Moore, he always uses comedy as an excuse for factual inacuracies and second, is always talking about how other people are so wrong, without backing any of it up with anything positive to hold onto. He often tries to discredit people like Sean Hannity, Bill O' Reilly, and Bush who are already easy targets because they themselves are bold. If Franken really wanted to prove his case the he would challenge them more directly, not just insult them like a child.	negative
1	Understanding Bible Geography	Then and Now Bible Maps is an excellent resource for helping put Bible locations in perspective / make them come alive for the Bible reader. Even though I am not "tuned in" to geography, this book shows me where Old Testament and New Testament events occurred, what the places were named years ago, and what the places are now named. A rather short book of 16 actual map pages (with additional information), this book does help the Bible reader gain a better understanding of the world in Biblical times as well as aid in understanding how those long-ago events and places relate to Bible prophecy and what is going on in our world now. I purchased this book along with Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps, and Time Lines. I recommend both books. In fact, I have purchased several more copies of each book to give as gifts!	positive
1	Crazy Sniffable	This book is just hysterical. I read it, the whole time trying to read the funniest parst to my friends, but eventually I just had to stop trying to do that because there are so many funny parts. There are even a few references to a couple skits from the show. Basically, if you liked the show, you will love this book.	positive
1	Susan Hill on Kindle	I started reading Susan Hill because of her great book "The Woman in Black" which I have read twice. I really enjoy her easy to read writing style. My only complaint would be the cost of her Kindle books. I have read five (5) of her Simon Serrailler books thus far and plan to read the others as well. This book like all the others thus far was a page turner. The culprit is not readily determined which keeps the story line interesting. I enjoyed it very much.	positive
1	This DVD is a Must See!	Watching this movie brought back so many painful memories when we were once so controlled by spiritual leaders who used religion to advance their own agendas. While our experiences were not exactly the same, we could relate to some of the same manipulative techniques used by charismatic leaders to spiritually abuse the people they control.Perhaps you will see yourself in this movie and realize that it is time for you to get out.	positive
1	Who Knew DMX Could Act?	I happened to catch this movie on TV. I stopped flipping channels because I saw Jet Li. I thought it was Romeo Must Die but it wasn't. I was pleasantly surprised at DMX's performance as the father whose daughter was kidnapped. He was determined to do what it took to get her back. I got my own copy of this movie and suggest you do the same. It is a good movie with some of the best fight scenes I have seen in awhile.	positive
0	Self-Hype	This is a good GUY flic, nothing special, but fun for gamblers and football fans. The whole thing is kind of a self-hype, true story. The gambling predictor as ladies man and hero, puffed up and glamorized, but the fantasy is the thing for young men. Gambling, chicks, and swell clothes is what it's all about. Shallow, no?	negative
0	Dry and Bored!!!	Most of the stuff contain in this book is common sense. I also find it difficult to read through the entire book. It is very boring!!!.	negative
0	MISTY WATER COLORED MEMORIES	SECOND NATURE examines the intrinsic nature of the human psyche: can a cold blooded killer be reformed and change his killing ways? Alec Baldwin turns in a rather stiff performance as a man who wakes up from a coma after a plane crash that killed his wife and two daughters. He is in England, in the care of lovely psychiatrist Louise Lombard. As pieces of his memories come back, Baldwin starts to wonder just who he was and who he is, and what is his connection with shady Powers Boothe (a rather dull and wooden performance here too). By the time it reaches its revelations at the end, there are so many inconsistencies and implausibilities, SECOND NATURE just can't repair the damage done. A mediocre film at best.	negative
1	Sweet little G	Listen,If you want an inexpensive guitar with great sound and easy playability, buy this one. Period.I bought a black one to leave in the trunk while I was at work, in case the guys called for a practice session, so I wouldn't have to go all the way home to pick up my gear.I have other, way more expensive guitars, like a Gibson ES-335, Dean 12 string, and a Fender Strat, but I gotta tell you, I like this one soooo much I play it more than the others! No kidding.And if it gets banged up, so what??? It costs a buck thirty! Buy another. In facte I bought 2 others with different finishes, just for a cheap change up guitar.Dig it.	positive
1	Valentine's Day fun	This book was wonderful. It gave a great explanation of how the story of Valentine's Day came about. It also had crafts and other fun stuff you could do in the back of the book. This book can teach the history and meaning/purpose of Valentine's Day in an interesting way. The pictures are wonderful. The bright colors add so much to the story. I would recommend this book in a hearbeat!	positive
1	Good for a 10Mbps Hub...	I must say that for a simple non-switched 10Mbps Ethernet hub, this one is pretty good. The metal box and small size makes it pretty handy. Unfortunately it's pretty outdated for the things you can buy for a few more bucks. You're probably better spending your money on a Linksys EtherFast 5-port Worgroup Switch, which has a dedicated 100Mbps (or 200Mbps in full-duplex mode) of bandwidth in each port.... But if you're adament about a plain 10Mbps hub, this is a very good way to go.	positive
1	Fun flick	The movie retains most of the original story. It was fun to watch, and learn that I was correctly pronouncing the names from the book.	positive
1	Perfect	Fast shipper and item described perfectly! I would definitely use them again. There is nothing wrong with the item. Thanks!	positive
0	Try again	Men in Kilts by Katie Macalister was not my favoriate novel by this author. I see a pattern in her novels and after a few novels I am bored with her material.	negative
0	defective product	I ordered the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice along with the Firth/ BBC versions because I love this Jane Austin story and because of "Toomuchtimeonmyhands" review. I have not yet played the Firth/ BBC versions, so I will review them later. I was so disappointed when I opened the Keira Knightley DVD and found sticky goo all around the center opening on both sides of the DVD! I am trying to return it now, but so far the return links do not work. I am awaiting an email reply for resolution. Check your products carefully as soon as they arrive, since the vendors obviously do not.	negative
0	mauser self-loading pistol is disappointing	From internet I learned that this is one of the 3 main reference books on the Mauser C96 Broomhandle; and it is considered a disappointment. However the price is much more affordable than the 2 other books, so I still decide to buy a copy.The book is full of pictures but not of the high quality one would expect nowadays on the internet. The text carries some information, but no more than the several websites dedicated to the Mauser Broomhandle.Since I bought the book after consulting the websites dedicated to Broomhandle, I really felt that there is no new information to be learned from this book!	negative
1	Nichelle Communicates A Winner	Nichelle Nichols, best know for her work on Star Trek, is charming on "Out of This World". Nichols, who once toured with Duke Ellington in the 1950's, jumps all over the musical map. Everything from pensive ballads, the wonderful and emotional "Gene", to all-out rockers, like the spellbinding "Ancestry". This song is a classic that should have found a home on alternative rock radio. Her delivery is almost punk-rock in it's unique phrasing. Very refreshing indeed! If you appreciate alternative music, you'll just love this album! I only wish she was still recording!	positive
0	Be wary.	I ordered two of these bad boys... the latch that holds the screw-in seal was broken on one and the other was filled with little metal shards and felt like it was only a few uses away from breaking itself. The construction had an overall shoddy feel and the metal had an uneven sheen, as if it were stained.It seems the product being offered is inconsistent, as my two flasks did come with a funnel each, but the funnels themselves were hardly worth the asking price.	negative
0	UTTER RUBBISH !!!	Sadly, I didn't read the review(s) of N/A 2007 -- SHOULD HAVE! Like many, I've been a customer since the '90s. I does seem like, with each new incarnation of their software, things are getting significantly worse. I just purchased a 5-user subscription and have incredible heartburn already on the first install. I'm going to try and get my money back - but I see a long road of frustration ahead of me. I'll be looking elsewhere regardless. Symantec, you really have bottomed out! If you're are a responsible company, you should sort this A.S.A.P. Once you loose your core base - they're gone forever. Norton A/V 2007 final grade = F ...!!!	negative
1	Dry and Fabulous	Waite has a tendency to waff along just as the ancient sorcerers of which he writes. However, this classic of magical literature really is a must have for the serious occultist. While it contains mostly a review of many magical manuscripts rather than focus on any specific practice, it provides the reader with key elements that are invaluable in understanding the magical manuscript tradition. Many of the tomes that Waite has written of have been published in various languages and should acquired for further study along with Wiate's review.	positive
1	Moon Spinners	I have not seen this movie since I was a young teenager. I found that I forgot the biggest part of the plot. Happily, it was like watching the movie for the first time.I have been a Haley Mills fan since my pre-teenage years to this date. For those who are not familiar with Haley MIlls and her movie credits I strongly recomend renting/buying her movies starting with Pollyanna. The viewer will not be disappointed I'm sure.	positive
1	Good product, but there are better sheet feeders	I bought this as an upgrade for my 1 person office. I went from an HP that did a great job with printing and scanning, but lacked a flatbed copy function to this. Generally, I'm pleased with the product, but the scanning function is a bit cumbersome and the sheetfeeder for the bypass tray does not always do a good job with envelopes.	positive
0	Zellweger as a Brit yet again?	There are some actors and actresses that were great when you saw them infrequently or when they did something unique. Zellweger was fantastic in Jerry Maguire for this reason- bringing a fresh female character to the Hollywood scene. Likewise the reason why she worked well in Bridget Jones is because she played a ditsy, self-obsessed blonde very, very well. In Cold Mountain she also went over the top, but again, at least it was unique.When I heard they were making a Beatrix Potter movie with a big budget I was thrilled. Emily Watson- excellent. Ewan MacGregor- excellent. But I don't understand why an American should be cast as Beatrix Potter- especially Zellweger who is known for these over-the-top performances that increasingly make you want to smack her. This is sadly a movie I avoided like the plague as soon as I saw the trailer.	negative
1	Fantastic Movie!	First of all, I am a HUGE fan of Jennifer Jones!!!! So, I love any movie she is in... But, truly, she is great in this movie. A very diverse actress, with an unusual beauty for that time... she plays the part of "a girl from the wrong side of the tracks" like no-one else can. Charlton Heston looks BEAUTIFUL as ever, the character he plays is pitch perfect! And the time, place, and era of the film are spot on! Karl Malden is great as well, playing the "Southern Gentleman" and father figure to a T.This movie is as intriguing as "Duel in The Sun," in which Jennifer is paired with Gregory Peck.I LOVE THIS MOVIE............	positive
0	isn't it suposed to be about the music?	this album isn't selling because of its music. its selling because of sex. has anyone seen the video for bounce? the song is about dumping her BF so u'd think it should be a very rebelious video... no. its got crawling over the set like a stripper. anyone else think that there is a secret conspiricy between the music industry and the porn industry?	negative
0	DON'T get this book for layout inspiration	This book takes a total graphic artists approach to layout - after you get through the first half of the book dedicated to simple web terminology and technology like CSS and HTML with very simplistic explanations. Even then, it does nothing with the nuts and bolts, but rather tells you things like "CSS allows you to specify exact font size".When you DO get to the layout section, they take only the most artistic sites to review - and then they're not even broken down to see how they're put together. It's just page after page of screenshots and little quips like "here's that white background again!"It's little more than a coffee table book - one suitable only for graphiuc designers who fancy switching mediums. If you're looking for ideas and inspiration for practical web layouts, look ELSEWHERE!	negative
1	Perfect replacement for my Ryobi 750R	I must admit that it took a little finagling to get this in properly but now that I know what I'm doing this thing completely resurrected my old Ryobi 750R that was destined for the trash because of a worn out spool cartridge. If you have a working weed eater like I did but just need a replacement spool cartridge then look no further.	positive
0	Not Blackberry	This is not a blackberry set of buds. I bought a set a few weeks ago from another supplier and they lasted one week. So I ordered this set instead, and I got the same cheapo set I bought a few weeks ago. NOT as pictured and NOT Blackberry. I dislike being lied to.	negative
0	HP ink cartridges 74	When I received my cartridges of HP 74 black ink and tried to insert one, the printer said ERROR, althought it was the correct cartridge number, 74. I inserted the second one I ordered, and that one worked fine. So one bad cartridgein the set.	negative
0	I do not recomend this product.	This software caused many problems for me. I had to reformat my hard drive after I used this product.So after I uninstalled it I sold it to a friend that wanted it and PC TOOLS would not let them register it even after I emailed them stating I no longer use it.So now it just sits useless.	negative
1	A Personal Voice	What I liked most about this book was Segovia's own personal voice showing through. It is, indeed, a very subjective self-portrait that romanticizes just about everything, but that's what I like about Segovia and the music he played! The book is about his life viewed through his own eyes and I appreciated the intimacy opened up to me. There are other works out there about Segovia that are more erudite, accurate, and objective but there's a real pleasure in reading this one.	positive
1	Expensive... maybe, but it works!	I purchased this coupler/repeater when several of my x.10 devices started to become unresponsive. The coupler I previously had been discontinued. I didn't see why I needed LEDs, but it was about the only game in town. I bought it and it didn't help. With some further investigation (reading HomeSeer logs) I discovered a lot of J Status commands. It turns out I had a "line noise" problem. While the Siglalinc Repeater wasn't designed to be a line analyzer, the red LEDs showed me a lot of information. Among other things, it showed me which 110 phase the problem was on. I then just started unplugging things and walking back to the Signalinc to see if the problem was gone. My problem was an AC to DC wall converter... 9vdc output. Oh and while this is expensive as a coupler, it is dirt cheap as a coupler/amplifier/analyzer. JR	positive

1	Dexter Blu-Ray	I haven't watched it yet, but, if it's as good as the first two seasons, I'll be happy. Delivery was prompt and packaging secure.	positive
1	Tight Ass Three 6 CD	this is one of da best three 6 cd's out. Nutin but great beats and tight ass lyrics. This is a must buy for three 6 fans. U could play this cd all day without skipping track.	positive
1	Good value for the price	This CD contains 10 short lessons which I can say it's good for the price.The pronunciation is very good and understandable. Every lessons builds up on the preceding.	positive
1	QEP Bridge saw	Bought this saw to remodel new kitchen. I was installing 18X18 travertine on floor. I did purchase a new blade. The one that came with it chattered too much. Saw worked great. Table was not perfectly flat. A little tweaking was needed. Also used it to cut 16in ceramic for counter top. No complaints. Everyonce in a while you will need to change water in resevoir or back flush line from pump to blade but I was doing a bunch of cutting and 1/2 thick travertine really muddies the water fast. Love how both sides of blades are wetted. For the money this is a really great saw. Have had someone make an offer to buy it from me already.	positive
1	Sugoi! (Great! )	I am an ambitious (though still amateur) anime collector; sinceI don't have a VCR, I only collect DVDs. To date, I have about $1500 worth of anime DVDs.Suffice it to say that the Fushigi Yugi Suzaku box set is one of the crowning jewels of my collection.It's a very touching and engaging story, with characters you come to positively love. It's quite refreshing to see a show with an emphasis on character interaction rather than combat or fanservice; granted, this is shoujo anime, but I'm still hooked (and I'm a guy, for any of you fellas thinking about buying). In the last 3 days, I've gotten 4 of my friends hooked as well, 3 of them male. As it stands, I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite character... I am drawn to them all, even the villains!Truly a masterpiece...I eagerly await the Seiryu box set slated for release later this year.	positive
1	Arabian Horse Trivia	This book is a classic. It encompasses a French cavalry officer's conversations with assorted Bedouins whose varied opinions, regarding the Arabian horse, are profound. It gives the reader an insight into why certain colors and markings are preferred, myths and superstitions about breeding, foaling, training and other aspects of horse ownership according to Middle Eastern culture. It's quaint, enjoyable and interesting. However, one has to wonder if parts of it's true meaning haven't been lost in translation from the original text. Sadly, though we'll never know for sure, anyone interested in the history of Arabian horses will treasure what this book has to say.	positive
1	value	Excellant value as opposed to buying at the local supermarket. Just the right size to be able to allow my grandson to have control, At the moment this is his favorite food	positive
0	Beware of "DVD REGION"	I had never heard of a dvd not playing in a dvd player because of the region a person lives in - NEVER!!! I was very disappointed that I paid for shipping and handling, plus the dvd and all i will get back is the refund for the movie and not the shipping - plus I have to pay shipping cost to return the dvd to the seller. I won't let this happen to me again.	negative
1	Good phone, great plan.	Having had experiance with various phones, this one is pretty good. This is my second Virgin Mobile phone, and overall I have pretty satisfied with the service. I only use the phone part time and keep it for emergancies or traveling, so the "plan" (or lack there of) works great and is more cost effective then most for my usage. I have usually been able to get reception (at least as well as any other phone service I have heard of or used) and the 8610 is better than my old one at that.

0	NOT at all what I expected...or wanted	I bought this book because I am getting married and wanted to find a romantic, moving reading for the ceremony. And, of course, like many other women who saw the Sex and the City Movie, fell in love with the poetry Mr. Big "uses." This book is not at all what I hoped for or wanted. I must admit that maybe my expectations were not realistic...as I think I was expecting to find stuff right out of the movie (ain't gonna happen). Yes, the letters are full of love...but are often quite depressing as well. If you like history and such...the history of old love is defined by separation for months, etc. That is documented here. I guess for my purposes...it missed the mark. Out of the entire book, I found one segment I truly liked and will most likely use. However, I think I could have come up with something else and saved my money.	negative
1	As a Psychology University Teacher I give it A+	This book has been very helpful to me to teach important subjects such as the choice of psychotherapy instead of drugs. It has also helped me to stress on the importance of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders.It is scientifically backed up and very easy to read. Very good book.	positive
0	Get this only if you are new to WDW	It is very light on all ride and event descriptions, not even elaborating on the Halloween and Christmas Parties, Grad Nights, parades and other special events that make WDW so special. It misses the opportunity to describe the viewing locations for parades and fireworks, as well as the "unusual" - talking trashcans, etc.!If you've never been, this book is a place to start. But it really doesn't tell you about the real WDW in enough detail to make travel and touring plans.The hotel descriptions and room recommendations are good, and the pockets would come in handy, but there's just not enough meat.	negative
0	You get what you pay for	I had my camera equipment stolen and read the reviews on the less expensive Opteka cable release and decided to save a few bucks on the replacement. I have now had 2 and they both have failed within the 1st ten shots. Extremely frustrating when you're in the field and cant't get the shots you have meticulously set up for the right moment. I am going back to the Canon version which worked perfectly for years. Remember, you get what you pay for.	negative

0	Support is ABYSMAL	I received this program for free, fortunately. I'm a more sophisticated computer user than some, but certainly not unusually so. I was having trouble finding info about setting up PC-cillin to allow me to connect to my office VPN, so I searched their knowledge base -- no info. I contacted support. It took them 2 days to get back to me. Meanwhile, I figured out how to set up my VPN on my own. Imagine my surprise, then, when the tech support person emailed me and informed me that PC-cillin is not compatible with VPNs and gave me instructions to uninstall the firewall! I can't find any information on printing through a wireless networked printer, either -- surely this isn't an unusual setup, but a search of the knowledge base has turned up nothing. If I can't get the printer to work, I will be going back to the free versions of Zone Alarm and AVG.	negative
1	Tremendous Relief for Sinus Headaches	This works great for soothing the pain of sinus infections. It covers the complete sinus area from frontal to maxillary, and the the velcro strap keeps it securely in place. I agree with other reviewers who complain that the heat doesn't last long enough - but perhaps that's because sinus infections are so miserable you want the relief to last forever. DO NOT OVERHEAT - follow the manufacturers instructions about heating in the microwave. Overheating won't offer longer relief, since the pad will be too hot to place on the skin - and it may ruin the pad.	positive

1	Book Review	Ivan Doig is a poet who writes lovely stories and autobiographical tales of old Montana. He is right up there with Wallace Stegner, but his prose and stories are more resonant.Washington Post said a few years ago that Ivan Doig is one of the 'finest writers' in America. I agree. Had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with Ivan and his wife, Carol, at a Stanford Old West seminar in 2000. What a terrific and humble guy.I recommend you read one of Doig's TRILOGY first. They are semi-biographical about his family settling from Scotland into the Two Medicine high country of Montana last century. "Dancing at the Rascal Fair" is #1, followed by "English Creek", my favorite. Fabulous writing, period.Assuming you read and like "Winter Brothers", you will love Doig's others novels and autbiographical books. He is a treasure to the art of writing.Peter B. Liebowitz	positive

0	not what I was looking for	All I wanted was a book to help me prepare for breastfeeding, not a book that made me feel that if I didnt breastfeed my baby would be at a huge disadvantage. I felt like it was judgemental and non forgiving to anyone who either can not or chooses not to breastfeed. I am a future mother who wants to try to breastfeed but I refuse to beat myself up if I am unable. This was not the book for me. I was really dissapointed because it had such great reviews	negative

0	Totally Implausible.	This was one of the silliest books I've ever read. A completely implausible plot with dull characters. I had the murderer pegged the moment he entered the story. And what is with these female authors who portray teenage girls like they're complete morons. I can't tell you the number of books I've read with a teenage girl who is essentially good at heart, but doesn't she just have to fall for the "bad boy" her usually single/widowed parent doesn't like? And while we're at it let's have her have sex with him (yawn). Also, I cannot figure out the presence of Willa in this story. Other than being a somewhat boring love interest, she served absolutely no purpose. I think I should learn to avoid these TV "Book Club" books. More often than not they're complete disappointments.	negative
0	You call this a movie?	This is one of the worst movies ever made.Pro: Good fighting scene.Con: A completely [...bad] plot and unrealistic acting that just makes you go ['huh?'], after watchin the movie for 10 minutes I ended up fast forwarding to the fighting scenes and wanting it to end as quickly as possible.I was expecting something along the lines of storm rider since it is by the same director, but you cant even compare the two movie.Leave this one on the shelf.	negative
1	Easily the Greatest Movie of the Nineties	I think much of this film's favor can be attributed to its empathy and sentimentality, or even for its epic feel. But looking past Janus Kaminski's great cinematography, and looking psat the great performances, we are left with two things that all great movies are built on: great direction and a magnificent screenplay. Steven Spielberg has never made another film like this, and it's unlikely that he ever will again. The way he uses the camera so expressively is reminiscent of Welles and Cocteau; certainly this movie borrowed from Citizen Kane. The screenplay is both subtle and sublime, beginning with a great character and following the change in him. The three leads also deserve kudos for their staggering performances. Easily the best movie of the 90's, followed distantly by Demme's Silence of the Lambs.	positive

0	Maybe its just me but I've read this before	Has Cussler ever written more than one book? It seems each new one that comes out, including Lost City, is basically the same plot albeit with slightly different characters. I defy any fan of his to replace Kurt Austin with Dirk Pitt and have it read any differently.This one has to do with some shadowy arms dealing family trying to take over the world through the use of an ancient recipe for eternal life. Naturally, NUMA, through Austin prevents this from happening through a set of lucky circumstances.After reading this book, like reading all the others, I feel like I've just had a meal of rice cakes. I know that I've eaten something but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.Given the loyalty of Cussler's readers, I know I'm shouting into the wind when I say this, but skip this one. You've read it before.	negative

The many times when Farrah begins to take her clothes off keep interest alive.The DVD is atrocious. No tracks, just one long PLAY. The music (which is good) is so loud for the first fifteen minutes that it is hard to understand the words of the narrative, and the music never lets up. The narrative voice-over the "scenes from the life of" make for a distanced experience.The fine cast is wasted, but they lend an air of quality to this lame excuse for a movie.	negative

This book helped me to decide to wear my hair natural, again. At 24 years old, I have only permed my hair 6 out of my 24 years of existence and now I even regret that!! After reading your book, I decided to wear braids in preparation for locking my beautiful African hair.THANKS AGAIN!!!	positive

0	Slow torture	This book is by no stretch of the imagination good at what it aims to do...teach accounting. The explanations are lengthy and tend not to explain the concept fully. I have taken previous accounting courses and this text is laughably horrible.Not only that, but the problems at the end of the chapter are absolutely horrendous. These problems are poorly worded and require further explanation from the professor (who sometimes has no clue himself).This book does nothing to prepare me for a future in financial analysis.All in all, I would only recommend this book if a person really wanted to find a reason to commit suicide or simply die of boredom.	negative

0	Nothing new on this album.	The use of the name "ELO" is probably purely for marketing reasons, for this is nothing more than Jeff's second solo album. Heck, he plays about everything himself. Worse than that, Jeff hasn't made any musical progress since 1985 at all. This album could very well be a sibling of George Harrison's Cloud Nine, which bears Jeff's marks all over it, too. Gone is the fiery spirit of albums such as Time and Secret Messages; what remains are standard 4/4 rock songs. The album has surprisingly little variation in song styles; there isn't a single song that doesn't use guitars and drums. If Jeff feels he has something to say to the world musically speaking, that's fine, but don't launch it as a new ELO album, for I'm much too fond of the old ELO albums to consider this another one. ELO finished about 1985, and it should have been left at that. New releases of bands who were successful twenty years are seldom a success now, and ELO won't be an exception I think.	negative
1	One of Sabatini's best	I agree with the other reviewer (ralo91) about what makes the title character so interesting, and I would add that this is one of the author's three or four best works. Bellarion begins as a scholar out of a monastery and in the world for the first time, ending up a nobleman and the leading mercenary in early fifteenth century Italy. All throughout, he prevails through strategy and cleverness instead of brawn or force of arms. As one character observes, Bellarion never aims where he looks.The glory and honors he accumulates are the last thing on his mind, though. Every step he takes is to advance the cause of Princess Valeria of Montferrat--"sheer knight-errantry" as Sabatini calls it--made all the more interesting because Valeria wants to believe that Bellarion isn't the venal opportunist she perceives him to be, but for the longest time she can't get beyond appearances.Highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed Captain Blood, Scaramouche, or The Sea-Hawk.	positive

2nd favorite book I own

This is a great book that is up there with "A Course in Miracles". It is a book I try to keep on my person at all times for a quick fix of right mindedness and spiritual grounding. It is second to "Course in Miracles" on spirituality and metaphysics. I have found a few contradictions, but who cares when the rest of the book is full of great wisdom and perspective.

My copy went into the rubbish bin

A few questions:1. Must the author throw in at least 2 brand names on each page? Is it that important for me to know a character wears Armani boxers or has an Ikea bed? Product placement does not equal character development.2. Were the copy editors high? Complete sentences are not standard, and grammatical errors made me gasp throughout the novel.3. Is this a necessary retelling of the tired story of an Indian girl resisting her fate to indulge in western ways? No, no it's not. I am very intrigued by Indian culture and would love to learn more but this novel was so low-brow and thoughtless, I'll be more skeptical in the future. Just because this book is part of a series doesn't mean it's worth a penny. Don't waste your time.

best 5 minutes on the cd

I love the whole Confessions Cd for sure, but this song is the best on the disc in my opinion. This song takes me to another place. It's so lush, yet so sparse. The beat is totally infectious, you can't help but dance to this track. True, the mixes aren't the best for this song - stick to the original version. It's songs like this that keep Madonna on her throne.

Does the job

The thing about bread knives... it doesn't take anything special, like Damascus steel or even high carbon steel - the serrations do the job. So in that regard this knife is over-equipped for the job. It cuts well, looks nice (I got it because I have other Kleve knives) and is long enough for any size bread. I feel that it was a bit much (at ~$16) for what it is - Kleve knives aren't supposed to cost this much, they're nothing special. But at the right price, they're a good deal.

Starting out

This is a good place to start if you're in any way interested in Romanian culture as Creanga and Eminescu are Romanian cultural legends. As usual, though the translations are good, the originals are always best, as you would know if you've read works by any great translated writer.Creanga specialised in stories for children but these stories are also allegorical, so subtle that children don't notice but adults will. I remember his stories firing up my imagination and I have a purse with two coins.Eminescu is, in my opinion, the greatest of the Romantics because he had so much more to say and today he is more or less ignored by the West. If you go to visit his home there will be no one there but the guide because Romanians are not aware that tourism can be their greatest strength.

Laughable story, dreadful History

Hollywood's Spanish Black Legend in its most ridiculous shape. Unable -and unwilling- to learn anything about our contries, Tinseltown's screenwriters come up with their worst prejudices -dating back from the times of the Armada- to "reenact" the Conquest of Mexico. Cortez (César Romero, of all people!) enters the city of Cholulu (?), fights the Inquisition (!) and marches on to Mexico City to establish "America". There are plenty of colorful "señorritas", gay "caballeros", stoic indians, cruel inquisidors, saccharine friars and the ever-present "latin looking" hero with a greasy hairlock dangling from his brow. Only Carmen Miranda is missing! All Spaniards look like gypsies, all indians look like statues and Jean Peters seduces Tyrone Power dancing a "zesty fandango" at your usual nighfall "fiesta". Do yourself a favor: READ A BOOK (that also goes for the guy who wrote this trash)!

horror film that could have been better

A young girl Olivia witnesses her prostitute mother get murdered by a client. Years later she becomes a bored housewife marked by the past. Another man Robert Walker Jr. enters the picture but her double life catches up with her. The movie's fine until the second half when it decides to add in a "Vertigo" like element and falters because of it. Suzanna Love and Robert Walker Jr. give good performances. Even with its problems it still is an improvement over Ulli Lommel's previous Boogeyman.

Even though the product says it is for Cat 6+, Cat6 STP does NOT fit through the holes.

Software crashes!

I decided to buy this webcam as an upgrade to my new Logitech. The Logitech webcam worked but the software only outputs at 15 fps and wmv (I want avi). I emailed Logitech and they said that this is all their software supported.The software install for this Creative webcam is long and complicated. When I try to use the software I get a notice to report the error to Microsoft and the computer locks up. If I do not use the software but leave the webcam plugged in I hear the Windows sound of the device constantly connecting and disconnecting. This stops when I unplug the webcam. I wrote support and they blamed my computer, which is high end and runs everything else.I actually prefer the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP camera itself. It is heavier with a solid base that stays in place.I do not know why both companies cannot provide good software that works. It is pitiful that they are making good cameras with software that is unusable.

Get Dragon Tales, Not Great Unknown

When I bought this album, I truly ventured into The Great Unknown. I didn't know how mediocre it would turn out to be. A bit on the lame side even. Although it contains a sprinkle of the old Koxbox sound, it is not as tight as it is weird. And what's the deal with the cover art? If anything, it is likely to boost sales to the members of the community with more active libidos, but that doesn't make the music any better. Perhaps it is to make you think that the erection you get from the album is caused by the music itself. "Wow, this must be good music, it aroused me, huh hyuk!" I don't think so. No amount of soft porn will mask this album's repetitiveness. If you think you are in for the perfection that was their last album, think again. Dragon Tales is where it's at. Good luck finding it though.

Not Good

The problem with this book is that it is simply a tactic. Of course everything that Franken talks about is debatable, but he really seems to fall where other liberals have fallen before him.He is good in the fact that he is active and is willing to put alot of what he says on the line by confronting others in a bold way, but there is two main problems with that in itself. First of all, like Michael Moore, he always uses comedy as an excuse for factual inacuracies and second, is always talking about how other people are so wrong, without backing any of it up with anything positive to hold onto. He often tries to discredit people like Sean Hannity, Bill O' Reilly, and Bush who are already easy targets because they themselves are bold. If Franken really wanted to prove his case the he would challenge them more directly, not just insult them like a child.

Understanding Bible Geography

Then and Now Bible Maps is an excellent resource for helping put Bible locations in perspective / make them come alive for the Bible reader. Even though I am not "tuned in" to geography, this book shows me where Old Testament and New Testament events occurred, what the places were named years ago, and what the places are now named. A rather short book of 16 actual map pages (with additional information), this book does help the Bible reader gain a better understanding of the world in Biblical times as well as aid in understanding how those long-ago events and places relate to Bible prophecy and what is going on in our world now. I purchased this book along with Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps, and Time Lines. I recommend both books. In fact, I have purchased several more copies of each book to give as gifts!

Susan Hill on Kindle

I started reading Susan Hill because of her great book "The Woman in Black" which I have read twice. I really enjoy her easy to read writing style. My only complaint would be the cost of her Kindle books. I have read five (5) of her Simon Serrailler books thus far and plan to read the others as well. This book like all the others thus far was a page turner. The culprit is not readily determined which keeps the story line interesting. I enjoyed it very much.

This DVD is a Must See!

Watching this movie brought back so many painful memories when we were once so controlled by spiritual leaders who used religion to advance their own agendas. While our experiences were not exactly the same, we could relate to some of the same manipulative techniques used by charismatic leaders to spiritually abuse the people they control.Perhaps you will see yourself in this movie and realize that it is time for you to get out.

I got my own copy of this movie and suggest you do the same. It is a good movie with some of the best fight scenes I have seen in awhile.

MISTY WATER COLORED MEMORIES

SECOND NATURE examines the intrinsic nature of the human psyche: can a cold blooded killer be reformed and change his killing ways? Alec Baldwin turns in a rather stiff performance as a man who wakes up from a coma after a plane crash that killed his wife and two daughters. He is in England, in the care of lovely psychiatrist Louise Lombard. As pieces of his memories come back, Baldwin starts to wonder just who he was and who he is, and what is his connection with shady Powers Boothe (a rather dull and wooden performance here too). By the time it reaches its revelations at the end, there are so many inconsistencies and implausibilities, SECOND NATURE just can't repair the damage done. A mediocre film at best.

Listen,If you want an inexpensive guitar with great sound and easy playability, buy this one. Period.I bought a black one to leave in the trunk while I was at work, in case the guys called for a practice session, so I wouldn't have to go all the way home to pick up my gear.I have other, way more expensive guitars, like a Gibson ES-335, Dean 12 string, and a Fender Strat, but I gotta tell you, I like this one soooo much I play it more than the others! No kidding.And if it gets banged up, so what??? It costs a buck thirty! Buy another. In facte I bought 2 others with different finishes, just for a cheap change up guitar.Dig it.

Unfortunately it's pretty outdated for the things you can buy for a few more bucks. You're probably better spending your money on a Linksys EtherFast 5-port Worgroup Switch, which has a dedicated 100Mbps (or 200Mbps in full-duplex mode) of bandwidth in each port.... But if you're adament about a plain 10Mbps hub, this is a very good way to go.

defective product

I ordered the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice along with the Firth/ BBC versions because I love this Jane Austin story and because of "Toomuchtimeonmyhands" review. I have not yet played the Firth/ BBC versions, so I will review them later. I was so disappointed when I opened the Keira Knightley DVD and found sticky goo all around the center opening on both sides of the DVD! I am trying to return it now, but so far the return links do not work. I am awaiting an email reply for resolution. Check your products carefully as soon as they arrive, since the vendors obviously do not.

mauser self-loading pistol is disappointing

From internet I learned that this is one of the 3 main reference books on the Mauser C96 Broomhandle; and it is considered a disappointment. However the price is much more affordable than the 2 other books, so I still decide to buy a copy.The book is full of pictures but not of the high quality one would expect nowadays on the internet. The text carries some information, but no more than the several websites dedicated to the Mauser Broomhandle.Since I bought the book after consulting the websites dedicated to Broomhandle, I really felt that there is no new information to be learned from this book!

Nichelle Communicates A Winner

Nichelle Nichols, best know for her work on Star Trek, is charming on "Out of This World". Nichols, who once toured with Duke Ellington in the 1950's, jumps all over the musical map. Everything from pensive ballads, the wonderful and emotional "Gene", to all-out rockers, like the spellbinding "Ancestry". This song is a classic that should have found a home on alternative rock radio. Her delivery is almost punk-rock in it's unique phrasing. Very refreshing indeed! If you appreciate alternative music, you'll just love this album! I only wish she was still recording!

Be wary.

I ordered two of these bad boys... the latch that holds the screw-in seal was broken on one and the other was filled with little metal shards and felt like it was only a few uses away from breaking itself. The construction had an overall shoddy feel and the metal had an uneven sheen, as if it were stained.It seems the product being offered is inconsistent, as my two flasks did come with a funnel each, but the funnels themselves were hardly worth the asking price.

UTTER RUBBISH !!!

Sadly, I didn't read the review(s) of N/A 2007 -- SHOULD HAVE! Like many, I've been a customer since the '90s. I does seem like, with each new incarnation of their software, things are getting significantly worse. I just purchased a 5-user subscription and have incredible heartburn already on the first install. I'm going to try and get my money back - but I see a long road of frustration ahead of me. I'll be looking elsewhere regardless. Symantec, you really have bottomed out! If you're are a responsible company, you should sort this A.S.A.P. Once you loose your core base - they're gone forever.

Dry and Fabulous

Waite has a tendency to waff along just as the ancient sorcerers of which he writes. However, this classic of magical literature really is a must have for the serious occultist. While it contains mostly a review of many magical manuscripts rather than focus on any specific practice, it provides the reader with key elements that are invaluable in understanding the magical manuscript tradition. Many of the tomes that Waite has written of have been published in various languages and should acquired for further study along with Wiate's review.

I have not seen this movie since I was a young teenager. I found that I forgot the biggest part of the plot. Happily, it was like watching the movie for the first time.I have been a Haley Mills fan since my pre-teenage years to this date. For those who are not familiar with Haley MIlls and her movie credits I strongly recomend renting/buying her movies starting with Pollyanna. The viewer will not be disappointed I'm sure.

Good product, but there are better sheet feeders

I bought this as an upgrade for my 1 person office. I went from an HP that did a great job with printing and scanning, but lacked a flatbed copy function to this. Generally, I'm pleased with the product, but the scanning function is a bit cumbersome and the sheetfeeder for the bypass tray does not always do a good job with envelopes.

Zellweger as a Brit yet again?

There are some actors and actresses that were great when you saw them infrequently or when they did something unique. Zellweger was fantastic in Jerry Maguire for this reason- bringing a fresh female character to the Hollywood scene. Likewise the reason why she worked well in Bridget Jones is because she played a ditsy, self-obsessed blonde very, very well. In Cold Mountain she also went over the top, but again, at least it was unique.When I heard they were making a Beatrix Potter movie with a big budget I was thrilled. Emily Watson- excellent. Ewan MacGregor- excellent. But I don't understand why an American should be cast as Beatrix Potter- especially Zellweger who is known for these over-the-top performances that increasingly make you want to smack her. This is sadly a movie I avoided like the plague as soon as I saw the trailer.

Fantastic Movie!

First of all, I am a HUGE fan of Jennifer Jones!!!! So, I love any movie she is in... But, truly, she is great in this movie. A very diverse actress, with an unusual beauty for that time... she plays the part of "a girl from the wrong side of the tracks" like no-one else can. Charlton Heston looks BEAUTIFUL as ever, the character he plays is pitch perfect! And the time, place, and era of the film are spot on! Karl Malden is great as well, playing the "Southern Gentleman" and father figure to a T.This movie is as intriguing as "Duel in The Sun," in which Jennifer is paired with Gregory Peck.I LOVE THIS MOVIE............

DON'T get this book for layout inspiration

This book takes a total graphic artists approach to layout - after you get through the first half of the book dedicated to simple web terminology and technology like CSS and HTML with very simplistic explanations. Even then, it does nothing with the nuts and bolts, but rather tells you things like "CSS allows you to specify exact font size".When you DO get to the layout section, they take only the most artistic sites to review - and then they're not even broken down to see how they're put together. It's just page after page of screenshots and little quips like "here's that white background again!"It's little more than a coffee table book - one suitable only for graphiuc designers who fancy switching mediums. If you're looking for ideas and inspiration for practical web layouts, look ELSEWHERE!

A Personal Voice

What I liked most about this book was Segovia's own personal voice showing through. It is, indeed, a very subjective self-portrait that romanticizes just about everything, but that's what I like about Segovia and the music he played! The book is about his life viewed through his own eyes and I appreciated the intimacy opened up to me. There are other works out there about Segovia that are more erudite, accurate, and objective but there's a real pleasure in reading this one.

Expensive... maybe, but it works!

I purchased this coupler/repeater when several of my x.10 devices started to become unresponsive. The coupler I previously had been discontinued. I didn't see why I needed LEDs, but it was about the only game in town. I bought it and it didn't help. With some further investigation (reading HomeSeer logs) I discovered a lot of J Status commands. It turns out I had a "line noise" problem. While the Siglalinc Repeater wasn't designed to be a line analyzer, the red LEDs showed me a lot of information. Among other things, it showed me which 110 phase the problem was on. I then just started unplugging things and walking back to the Signalinc to see if the problem was gone. My problem was an AC to DC wall converter... 9vdc output. Oh and while this is expensive as a coupler, it is dirt cheap as a coupler/amplifier/analyzer. JR

QEP Bridge saw

Bought this saw to remodel new kitchen. I was installing 18X18 travertine on floor. I did purchase a new blade. The one that came with it chattered too much. Saw worked great. Table was not perfectly flat. A little tweaking was needed. Also used it to cut 16in ceramic for counter top. No complaints. Everyonce in a while you will need to change water in resevoir or back flush line from pump to blade but I was doing a bunch of cutting and 1/2 thick travertine really muddies the water fast. Love how both sides of blades are wetted. For the money this is a really great saw. Have had someone make an offer to buy it from me already.

Sugoi! (Great! )

I am an ambitious (though still amateur) anime collector; sinceI don't have a VCR, I only collect DVDs. To date, I have about $1500 worth of anime DVDs.Suffice it to say that the Fushigi Yugi Suzaku box set is one of the crowning jewels of my collection.It's a very touching and engaging story, with characters you come to positively love. It's quite refreshing to see a show with an emphasis on character interaction rather than combat or fanservice; granted, this is shoujo anime, but I'm still hooked (and I'm a guy, for any of you fellas thinking about buying). In the last 3 days, I've gotten 4 of my friends hooked as well, 3 of them male. As it stands, I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite character... I am drawn to them all, even the villains!Truly a masterpiece...I eagerly await the Seiryu box set slated for release later this year.

Arabian Horse Trivia

This book is a classic. It encompasses a French cavalry officer's conversations with assorted Bedouins whose varied opinions, regarding the Arabian horse, are profound. It gives the reader an insight into why certain colors and markings are preferred, myths and superstitions about breeding, foaling, training and other aspects of horse ownership according to Middle Eastern culture. It's quaint, enjoyable and interesting. However, one has to wonder if parts of it's true meaning haven't been lost in translation from the original text. Sadly, though we'll never know for sure, anyone interested in the history of Arabian horses will treasure what this book has to say.

Good phone, great plan.

Having had experiance with various phones, this one is pretty good. This is my second Virgin Mobile phone, and overall I have pretty satisfied with the service. I only use the phone part time and keep it for emergancies or traveling, so the "plan" (or lack there of) works great and is more cost effective then most for my usage. I have usually been able to get reception (at least as well as any other phone service I have heard of or used) and the 8610 is better than my old one at that. I did have a few problems at first and have some difficulty downloading ringtones and the like on occasion, but nothing major.

NOT at all what I expected...or wanted

I bought this book because I am getting married and wanted to find a romantic, moving reading for the ceremony. And, of course, like many other women who saw the Sex and the City Movie, fell in love with the poetry Mr. Big "uses." This book is not at all what I hoped for or wanted. I must admit that maybe my expectations were not realistic...as I think I was expecting to find stuff right out of the movie (ain't gonna happen). Yes, the letters are full of love...but are often quite depressing as well. If you like history and such...the history of old love is defined by separation for months, etc. That is documented here. I guess for my purposes...it missed the mark. Out of the entire book, I found one segment I truly liked and will most likely use. However, I think I could have come up with something else and saved my money.

Get this only if you are new to WDW

It is very light on all ride and event descriptions, not even elaborating on the Halloween and Christmas Parties, Grad Nights, parades and other special events that make WDW so special. It misses the opportunity to describe the viewing locations for parades and fireworks, as well as the "unusual" - talking trashcans, etc.!If you've never been, this book is a place to start. But it really doesn't tell you about the real WDW in enough detail to make travel and touring plans.The hotel descriptions and room recommendations are good, and the pockets would come in handy, but there's just not enough meat.

Support is ABYSMAL

I received this program for free, fortunately. I'm a more sophisticated computer user than some, but certainly not unusually so. I was having trouble finding info about setting up PC-cillin to allow me to connect to my office VPN, so I searched their knowledge base -- no info. I contacted support. It took them 2 days to get back to me. Meanwhile, I figured out how to set up my VPN on my own. Imagine my surprise, then, when the tech support person emailed me and informed me that PC-cillin is not compatible with VPNs and gave me instructions to uninstall the firewall! I can't find any information on printing through a wireless networked printer, either -- surely this isn't an unusual setup, but a search of the knowledge base has turned up nothing. If I can't get the printer to work, I will be going back to the free versions of Zone Alarm and AVG.

Tremendous Relief for Sinus Headaches

This works great for soothing the pain of sinus infections. It covers the complete sinus area from frontal to maxillary, and the the velcro strap keeps it securely in place. I agree with other reviewers who complain that the heat doesn't last long enough - but perhaps that's because sinus infections are so miserable you want the relief to last forever. DO NOT OVERHEAT - follow the manufacturers instructions about heating in the microwave. Overheating won't offer longer relief, since the pad will be too hot to place on the skin - and it may ruin the pad.

Book Review

Ivan Doig is a poet who writes lovely stories and autobiographical tales of old Montana. He is right up there with Wallace Stegner, but his prose and stories are more resonant.Washington Post said a few years ago that Ivan Doig is one of the 'finest writers' in America. I agree. Had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with Ivan and his wife, Carol, at a Stanford Old West seminar in 2000. What a terrific and humble guy.I recommend you read one of Doig's TRILOGY first. They are semi-biographical about his family settling from Scotland into the Two Medicine high country of Montana last century. "Dancing at the Rascal Fair" is #1, followed by "English Creek", my favorite. Fabulous writing, period.Assuming you read and like "Winter Brothers", you will love Doig's others novels and autbiographical books. He is a treasure to the art of writing.Peter B. Liebowitz

Totally Implausible.

This was one of the silliest books I've ever read. A completely implausible plot with dull characters. I had the murderer pegged the moment he entered the story. And what is with these female authors who portray teenage girls like they're complete morons. I can't tell you the number of books I've read with a teenage girl who is essentially good at heart, but doesn't she just have to fall for the "bad boy" her usually single/widowed parent doesn't like? And while we're at it let's have her have sex with him (yawn). Also, I cannot figure out the presence of Willa in this story. Other than being a somewhat boring love interest, she served absolutely no purpose. I think I should learn to avoid these TV "Book Club" books. More often than not they're complete disappointments.

Easily the Greatest Movie of the Nineties

I think much of this film's favor can be attributed to its empathy and sentimentality, or even for its epic feel. But looking past Janus Kaminski's great cinematography, and looking psat the great performances, we are left with two things that all great movies are built on: great direction and a magnificent screenplay. Steven Spielberg has never made another film like this, and it's unlikely that he ever will again. The way he uses the camera so expressively is reminiscent of Welles and Cocteau; certainly this movie borrowed from Citizen Kane. The screenplay is both subtle and sublime, beginning with a great character and following the change in him. The three leads also deserve kudos for their staggering performances. Easily the best movie of the 90's, followed distantly by Demme's Silence of the Lambs.

Maybe its just me but I've read this before

Has Cussler ever written more than one book? It seems each new one that comes out, including Lost City, is basically the same plot albeit with slightly different characters. I defy any fan of his to replace Kurt Austin with Dirk Pitt and have it read any differently.This one has to do with some shadowy arms dealing family trying to take over the world through the use of an ancient recipe for eternal life. Naturally, NUMA, through Austin prevents this from happening through a set of lucky circumstances.After reading this book, like reading all the others, I feel like I've just had a meal of rice cakes. I know that I've eaten something but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.Given the loyalty of Cussler's readers, I know I'm shouting into the wind when I say this, but skip this one. You've read it before.

This worshipful hymn to the plains Indians should find favor with aficionados of the sub-genre.To everyone else, the effect of this movie is soporific at best. The many times when Farrah begins to take her clothes off keep interest alive.The DVD is atrocious. No tracks, just one long PLAY. The music (which is good) is so loud for the first fifteen minutes that it is hard to understand the words of the narrative, and the music never lets up. The narrative voice-over the "scenes from the life of" make for a distanced experience.The fine cast is wasted, but they lend an air of quality to this lame excuse for a movie.

This book is by no stretch of the imagination good at what it aims to do...teach accounting. The explanations are lengthy and tend not to explain the concept fully. I have taken previous accounting courses and this text is laughably horrible.Not only that, but the problems at the end of the chapter are absolutely horrendous. These problems are poorly worded and require further explanation from the professor (who sometimes has no clue himself).This book does nothing to prepare me for a future in financial analysis.All in all, I would only recommend this book if a person really wanted to find a reason to commit suicide or simply die of boredom.

Nothing new on this album.

The use of the name "ELO" is probably purely for marketing reasons, for this is nothing more than Jeff's second solo album. Heck, he plays about everything himself. Worse than that, Jeff hasn't made any musical progress since 1985 at all. This album could very well be a sibling of George Harrison's Cloud Nine, which bears Jeff's marks all over it, too. Gone is the fiery spirit of albums such as Time and Secret Messages; what remains are standard 4/4 rock songs. The album has surprisingly little variation in song styles; there isn't a single song that doesn't use guitars and drums. If Jeff feels he has something to say to the world musically speaking, that's fine, but don't launch it as a new ELO album, for I'm much too fond of the old ELO albums to consider this another one. ELO finished about 1985, and it should have been left at that. New releases of bands who were successful twenty years are seldom a success now, and ELO won't be an exception I think.

One of Sabatini's best

I agree with the other reviewer (ralo91) about what makes the title character so interesting, and I would add that this is one of the author's three or four best works. Bellarion begins as a scholar out of a monastery and in the world for the first time, ending up a nobleman and the leading mercenary in early fifteenth century Italy. All throughout, he prevails through strategy and cleverness instead of brawn or force of arms. As one character observes, Bellarion never aims where he looks.The glory and honors he accumulates are the last thing on his mind, though. Every step he takes is to advance the cause of Princess Valeria of Montferrat--"sheer knight-errantry" as Sabatini calls it--made all the more interesting because Valeria wants to believe that Bellarion isn't the venal opportunist she perceives him to be, but for the longest time she can't get beyond appearances.Highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed Captain Blood, Scaramouche, or The Sea-Hawk.
