Unhappy with adapter
I am not electronically savy. I owned an Olympus Stylus that I purchased in 2007 (the XD card is much larger then what they sell now) and bought a Cannon Selphy to print my pictures. The XD card for my camera would not work in the Cannon so I ordered this XD adapter; however my XD card would not work in it. The adapter does not come with any direction's so all I could do was guess at what to do with it.

Nothing better!
The first time I tried this was when I went to a spa at The Homestead Resort in Virginia. I had to buy a tube of it because the smell was so just so heavenly. You can tell the ingredients are fresh because it does not have the typical synthetic smell of most hand creams and lotions. Whenever I use this in public there is usually at least one person that asks me where I bought it. Let's not stop there though - this hand cream leaves your hands softer and smoother than you could ever think possible. A little goes a long way too; it took me a little less than a year to go through one tube of it. This is the only hand cream I will ever use again! Too bad they don't make a body lotion as well.

Died first day- won't keep time.
I usually love the plain old style G Shock but the Solar Kind is poor quality. I had it less than a day before it died. When I finally could charge it up it would not keep good time. It is impossible to set as well. I will not buy another one. My Timex has outlived this watch and it was only $30. Do not buy this Casio!

Workout that requires a lot of space
I have purchased the tape in hope that it would be a change from another instructor I normally use. The method in use is of combination of 4 moves (4 repetitions in each loop) so that makes the workout to change all the time fast. Also, I felt that I need a lot of space and then it would not have been easier to keep track of the moves.

NOT A REVIEW OF THE CONTENT OF THE BOOK!
I have to reiterate, this is not a review of the book in question. This is a review of the decision to wait until AUGUST of 2011 to release this book on Kindle. I just watched "Public Speaking" on HBO. Why would we have to wait almost a full year after this film's release to get a book published in 1994 as an eBook? Can someone please explain this to me?

Truely A Godsend
I was staying abroard for the first time in my life when this album came out. Upon reading about this band and seeing them on MTV, I bought a cassette of this album. It always gave me pleasure and strength.This is truely a godsend album. They were a one-of-a-kind in the histroy of rock and roll.What makes this album special is that they never meant to be a "super group" to make a lot of money. It obvious they enjoyed making an album together. The joy of playing good music is found every where on this album.It was sad that Roy Orbison died soon after this album released. But now I think he made it in time to be a part of the Wilburys. His unique velvet voice makes this album even more special in combination with the four other different distinctive voices.We must thank George for making this possible. Think of the Concert for Bangladesh, he was the only one who could make this miracle happen.

Bottom Line... Its a waste of money...
I read decent reviews abt this comforter which was one of the reasons I went for it. A really good price tag made the decision even easier. After the delivery of te product, first of all I wasnt very happy after looking at it. It didnt look at all like the pic. much thinner. I could actually see the empty spaces if I opened the comforter to full length. They seem to guarantee that feathers inside wouldnt slip/move because of the special stiching or something. dont they... anyway... I ignored it then but now after 3-4 months of using it, there are patches all over it. Feels like 40% of the comforter doesnt have any feathers in it!!! is this what you really want? your choice...

Loud, rattling, but looks nice and works
I'm not sure why fans cost so much money, but they seem rather expensive in local stores, so I tried this one.If it wasn't such a pain to carry it down to the post office, I'd send it back--and if I knew what I would buy to replace it. The fan rattles obnoxiously when it starts up or comes to a stop. Normal operation is a bit louder than I would like, but it does move plenty of air around for such a small fan.But the fan looks good on my desk, so I'll hang onto it for now. But I might have been wiser to spend a little more on something better.

Great toy - when it works
When I saw this toy online, I thought it looked great for my son (almost 2 years old). The first one stopped working after about one month. I contacted Amazon.com and they very promptly sent us another one - free of charge. The second still works - thanks goodness! We really like the wagon. The music isn't too loud or annoying at all. The only complaint I've heard is about the on/off switch being right by the handle and inadvertently turning the toy off sometimes, but we haven't experienced that with our toy. Overall, I really like it - and when we purchased it before Christmas, it was on sale - so for the money - it was a great buy! (Fast forward one month) Well, I am modifying my review. After we received the second wagon, only after two weeks of playing with it, the music started "skipping." It only played the first few notes of the song when you pressed the buttons. We threw it in the garbage, realizing that this brand of product just isn't made well.

Pots are great, Pans thumbs down
Love the pots they have lasted over 3 years and are going strong. The Pans on the other hand only lasted 6 months and the non-stick was gone. Everything stuck to them and we had to throw them out. Love the handles as they never get hot.

Beautiful, profound novel.
I think this is one of the most important modern American novels every written. It presents the human condition (granted, from the perspective of a privileged white male) in all its splendor and misery. In concise and beautiful prose, the novel captures one man's entire life, and his desire to live and to experience his life to its fullest while his heart is still beating; a desire that is true for not only everyman but every one.

one of my favorite books
my sister's friend's friend leant him the book who lent it to my sister who leant me the book who i in turn leant to my friend etc..... This book is so carturing, thought provoking, and humorous that it would be selfish not to share with others. Half-way through I was telling my friends how amazing it was & they asked me what it was about......honestly, I had a hard time telling them anything except that the language was unique & wonderful. Tom Robbins has such a unique way of getting a story across and expressing his thoughts it's like no book i've ever read. i defeinately recommend this book. i went out to the library (w/ my dusty, old card) & got another Robbins book immediatly.

Oakland Dad
If there is a worse Christmas movie than Santa Paws, I have yet to see it. Disney should be embarrassed to put this kind of movie out. It has the production quality of a Barney show. It uses every single Christmas movie cliche there is, then adds a cute puppy and a sadistic head of an orphanage who abuses children. My daughter insisted that I turn it off through tears. It was just too cruel. And with no point, no redeeming quality whatsoever. This is not an "instant classic", but a classic failure. The dialogue and acting are almost as horrible as the songs. My mother bought it for my daughter because she saw it so many times on the Safeway aisle during Christmas. I was surprised when she told me she had not actually seen it. A great boon for Disney marketing, but not a market honestly attained by a quality movie. I would rate this movie zero stars, but I had to click on a star to publish this review.

Micheal Mann will do it again
I know this movie will be awesome this is a Micheal Mann movie. Just look at the list of movies he's made Manhunter, Heat (one of my all time favorites), The Insider (another one of my all time favorites), and Ali. In all Micheal Mann's movies there are alway's awesome plot's, plot twists and performances. Ten years ago Tom Cruise was an awesome bad guy in Interview with the vampire, and again Tom Cruise will be awesome as a bad guy. I know Jamie Foxx who is always good, and Mark Ruffalo will put on good perfomances. So be ready for a night on the town.

Incomprehensible Book
This is supposed to be a contemporary translation that uses language relevant to our time and culture. It seems to me that the author must be using some sort of inner city street lingo that leaves out normal English-speaking people. I could not recognize Thomas a Kempis in this translation at all. I found it to be unreadable.

Absolutely worth it!
I've had a Bosch, a Sharp and an Oreck . None of those machines are even in the same class as the Miele. All the good things you've heard are true. This machine is small, quiet and incredibly powerful. My floors have NEVER been this clean. I didn't want to spend more than $500 and the quality of this machine leaves nothing to be desired.The only strange thing is that the onboard cleaning tools clip into a holder on the vacuum stem - it makes them more accessible, but the set up is slightly awkward. A minor point. It's a great vacuum. Don't hesitate.

Dude, Slow Down!
First, I'm a big big Valery Gergiev fan. His Shostakovich and Stravinsky recordings are just incredible in so many ways and the Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet (complete ballet) with the Kirov Orchestra beats even Pletnev's by a hair. However, I actually wondered if my CD player was having issues or that maybe an error during mastering had occurred because these readings are way too fast. Is it possible these performances are truer to Prokofiev's intent than others and I have just been conditioned incorrectly? Maybe, but man these are in a hurry. Immediately after enduring Symphony No. 3, I listened to Jarvi's version with Scottish National just to cleanse and reorient. Then I needed to fully enjoy the third so I let Ricardo Chailly's Decca recording of the third with Royal Concertgebeouw wash over me and restore the passion I have for Prokofiev.I just don't think these tempos work in any way.

Crooked 11s
The game itself: fun, great for all ages that can count, and even for all languages, when not everyone present can speak English.However, the low rating is due to this particular set I purchased, which lacked in quality. The black center line was smeared on a few pieces. And the dots on the 11s were crooked in the center line on a few pieces.I suggest getting the Mexican Train Dominoes with Electric Choo Choo Train by Puremco. I purchased this set as well, and it was perfect.

Beware!
The sharp edges on the basket, handle and drum on this device makes this the least ergonomic piece of kitchen equipment I have. It requires a ridiculous amount of force to grate a hard cheese, leading to hand fatigue, and inevitably, injury (I almost always end up grating my hand). This is going straight into the trash!

not up to par
I am a big Stephen King fan, and have been reading his stuff (sometimes over and over again) for over 30 years. I am listening to this one, and I have to say that I agree that the cutsie-pie language is incredibly annoying. It is so repetitive and annoying that it takes away from the story. It makes it difficult to get through and prevents me from caring at all about the characters. It is very disappointing and all i want to do is yell "Shut up!" I'm plowing through it because it is mildly interesting. Definitely will not read this one again...

ERRORS ON RECORDING
On the track See, My Love - Andreas Vollenweider, near the end of the track there is a very noticeable error in recording, sounds like a microphone drop, several times and is loud and destroys the quality of the recording.I have heard of scratches but not microphone drops....maybe just my copymaybe not, otherwise the album was perfect. In addition the album cover correctly lists (spelling) the artists name, but on the cd as it shows the tracks on my pc, that track shows a mistyped name for this artist. Unusual....

This is the best book on grammar ever! It is also hilariously funny, and is exactly the kind of serious book that you can also enjoy on holiday.

This album is just a compilation of very short songs that just seem really, really stupid. I liked "Cruise Control" and I loved "Crop Tub", but apart from that it was a barren CD in my opinion. Not a sign of real quality.Another CD for the punks out there. I'm not a punk, which is why I dislike this. But punks will eat it up. Punks: Buy it. Non-Punks: Respect it if you like AFI.

This is an awesome card game. I've played it many times with my friends, and was so excited when I saw the cards on Amazon. I bought 2 packs right away (it's more fun when you play with more than 4 people). You just have to be able to count to play - it's easy but very competitive.

Built to last
These earphones are still going strong over 2.5 years since they were purchased.The cables have been tugged at many many times, and they show absolutely no sign of wear.Sound is a little heavy on bass(which I love), and it is definitely worth more than what I paid for it.I later purchased the CX-400 for a second set, and those broke in a little over a month.If you're looking for durable in-ear earphones, then the CX300-B should live up to your expectations.

Where is Rhubarb The Cat?
I am glad that I read the reviews from those who bought the aforementioned video thinking that they were going to see Morris' relative. Someone really is "missing the boat" in not having this all-time favorite on video!!!!! This is an excellent family movie, which is one of two favorites from my childhood, the other being "Harvey" and I have that video. About a year ago, I had email messages with Movie Mom and she agreed that we should have access to this movie. Maybe we should start a movement to get "Rhubarb" on video because, not only would I like to see it again, but I would like my niece and her family to see it, too! Does anyone have any sugestions?! I am quite serious about this. WE WANT RHUBARB (the cat)!!!!! WE WANT RHUBARB (the cat)!!!!! WE WANT RHUBARB (the cat)!!!!!

Pamela's GF Baking Mix Recipe Ideas
After making plain biscuits, which were the best I tasted since going gluten free, I came up with a few recipes. My husband has no allergies but will eat any of these.#1-- Herb Biscuits - When making a double batch of biscuits (10-12), I add 1 TBSP. each of garlic powder, onion powder, chives, and parsley. (find the amount that suits you best) I also like to add a packet of Chreese (GF Dairy Free cheese sauce mix) While I still miss Red Lobster's biscuits, these are quite tasty.#2-- Shortcake - Use vanilla flavored soy or almond milk and add a little sweetener of choice to your biscuit mix. Top with your favorite fresh or frozen fruit.#3-- Chicken Pot Pie - Prepare biscuit mix with a little extra milk or broth, two cans cream soup, a cup of frozen veggies and leftover boneless chicken chunks. Bake at 350 degrees in a pie pan until done (about 30 minutes)Enjoy!

* WARNING: THIS BOOK'S BEST USE IS AS A DOOR STOP! *
...so S T O P; don't buy this book. It's Junk. Anyone who's been in the profession a while knows it because many of us received it as a Designer's Book Club intro title in the late 80's or early 90's. It wasn't worth the cost of its S&H! Ask around to people in the profession and look it over first. I received mine while having just a few years of experience in practice. Initally excited and impressed with myself having identifed a clear technical error, my feelings quickly changed to surprise and then anger as I began to realize the whole book was packed w/ errors and critical omissions. It was generally a frustratingly incompetent presentation with widely incomplete information on its proposed subjects. That the editors and publisher let this trash out, and were, I presume, making their livings with this level of incompetence was disheartening.

A Great Camera Bag
After dropping my Sony Cybershot and cracking the LCD screen, I was in search of a better camera bag, and this is it. It is totally black, with only the Sony and Cybershot logo in white letters. I use the shoulder strap, but it also has a belt clip. Note that this belt clip has a snap so you don't have to take your belt off each time you move the bag! It has just enough pockets and no more. Just places for spare memory cards and batteries and maybe a set of car keys. Not really enough room for a cell phone, unless you put it in with the camera in the main compartment. Here's the best part: The main camera compartment zipper has two pulls, so you can have them meet at the top, and leave the wrist strap of the camera hanging out, so you can get your wrist in the strap before you even open the bag to prevent accidental dropping. Believe me, the best chance to drop a camera is when you are removing it from the case!

A Pair of Engaging but Sad Radio Dramas
I like Stan Rogers as a singer. That is how I wound up with this CD. I expected music. I got some but it was sparse. The CD consists of two radio plays produced for broadcast in Canada and inspired by songs of Stan Rogers. He provides the music to go along with the plays.Both of the plays look at issues of human cruelty and perception. They also deal with love. I cannot say that either is very enjoyable but both are well done, engaging and even haunting. The music just adds to the haunting quality."Harris and the Mare" talks of a friendship between an old curmudgeon and a pacifist. The pacifist is finally moved to violence in defense of the love of his life."The Sisters" deals with two sisters, one plain and one beautiful. The beautiful one is blind and in love. The plain one is bitter and extracts her vengeance to the detriment of everyone including herself.The original musical version of "Harris and the Mare" is included between the two dramas.

Cute product, but just wish it was a little bigger
We got this for our 2 year old son for Christmas to hold all of the trains that ended up spread all over the house. Its a cute idea, but as some of the others had said, the compartments don't hold the larger cars well. I will probably end up using this for smaller engines, and then getting a plastic storage tub with a lid for the rest of the trains. Overall a cute idea that kids enjoy, but not an organizers dream solution to store all those trains.

Excellent comedy, and even educational
Everyone has been dumped, one time or another. Here is a lesson to be learned by three decisive women who will not allow fate to walk over their history as a contributing female with lots to give, and what better to exploit that than getting back at the seperated partners by "making them pay" literally by hitting them at the pocketbook of royal fame. Three women who have met the cornerstone to turn them not into violent, but rather into a resourceful club by bonding to prevail out of their own unjustications. In short, they are determined to do their homework to uncover any or all skeletons in the closet that will give them leverage for ambush. This may not be the funniest comedy invented, but it skyrockets when the three fine actresses appear on the screen for chats that we all are apart of listening into with, and enjoying every minute!

A FAITHFUL EVOCATION OF THE FIRST WAR IN THE AIR
This was a very honest and colorful account of Hartney's experiences flying with Britain's Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the United States Army Air Service (USAS) during the First World War. (Hartney was discharged from the U.S. Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, after having commanded the First Pursuit Group in France.)This book was originally published in early 1940, shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War. From time to time, Hartney prognosticates on what he anticipates the future may bring in terms of the use of air power at that time. He also sheds light on his family and continued involvement in aviation since 1918. This gives the reader more of a fuller sense of the man, who, born Canadian, later became a U.S. citizen.

This book is more about Tony Hendra than Father Joe. The few times Father Joe appears in the book might be said to be "inspirational" in how he interprets or views certain situations.

The show and music are wonderful, but this doesn't capture the show. If I am just going to listen to the music, I prefer the "Complete Symphonic" CD. If I want to watch the play (and I have seen it about 8 times in various places) I want to watch the play and this does not deliver.Now don't get me wrong, this is good for what it is, but it is not the play. It also cuts out some of the most relevant scenes in the play in my. It is merely some of the best (or at least most famous) performers signing their parts. If you want to have another version of the play this is fine, but if you want to get a flavor of the show, but the CD (above) and wait until they release a real version on DVD (if ever).

Body Sculpting by Villepigue
The book has a disciplined approach to body-building. Various exercise sequences are described in detail. The author describesa one hour period as the optimum workout period to stress the muscles. Any longer can be counterproductive. There is a recommendation to perform the full range of motion exercise.This advice is good from my own personal experience. The full range motion develops real power and torque movements for excellence of execution. The author indicates that exercise assists with mental focus at work or study. The ideal diet consists of many small meals interspersed throughout the day. Foods should be broiled, grilled or steamed in place of frying. The workout charts provide much detailed information on the benefits of each exercise. I don't know that this information is equally beneficial to both men and women in every instance. My experience with weight training and exercise tells me that a personally tailored program is best.

Disappointed
Despite the snazzy bendable neck, strong gripping clip, and generally good styling, this light suffers from some sub-standard manufacturing. Primarily, the on/off switch does not work as it should, and despite clicking it to the on position the light only engages when I press down on the switch, when it lights sporadically. The battery casing does not close very well, and the whole head of the light is very flimsy, with about the solidity of a kinder egg toy.Also, the battery that came with the light had almost entirely run out before I even got to try it, so I can't really comment on the quality of the illumination. I'm sending it back!

The three authors who wrote this book should be commended for their efforts to help others learn about investing. This book is packed full of information for the investor first starting out as well as a 20 year investing veteran. I think a copy of this book should be given to each High School senior at their graduation!! I have purchased 5 copies to hand out to friends & family.

Children's book
I was kind of shocked to find out this is a children's book being that Vonnegut is a satirist. However, even thought it is a children's book I wouldn't have been so disappointed if I knew that the drawings to go with Vonnegut's story were no even drawings. Some pages are just all one colour. ex. all green then another all purple, then another all yellow. I tried to do research on this before buying it but because it is so rare I found nothing, that is why I am writing this for others.

Sizing is way off
I was so looking forward to this bra because of my latex allergies. I ordered the same size as my other bras and the hook wouldn't meet for me to even determine if the cup size was correct. So disappointed.

gentle progress for greater energy
As in all of Master Ni's books that I have read, he gives the reader a gentle and caring approach to the topic at hand. His chapter on the relationship between mind and body is unique and insightful. Master Ni is not a man of dogma. He will guide but not insist or forcibly hold the reader's hand to take him or her to a predetermined destination. If you are looking for a guru to spoon feed you answers, then Master Ni may not be for you. If you are attempting to be spiritually self-reliant through your own cultivation, then I would highly recommend Master Ni's body of work.

A great pre-schooler game!
My three year old and I love playing this. Games are short and teach following the rules, taking turns and counting. Probably goes as young as three and on till the fascination with lizards and simple rules fades. Love it!

It's about time!
Truthfully, I've been waiting for years for this album to be released onto a cd. It's moody, funky, a little off, but those clever Dutch boys knew how to work it! Minny Pops are very VERY underrrated and extremely interesting to listen to. It does take an acquired taste however...my wife still makes me shut it off when I crank it! he he he From Night Visit and Trance to the extra material included this disc is a keeper. They had their fingers on the pulse of Factory Benelux for a short period of time. Mix these gems into some CD's and surprise your friends - they might actually dig this stuff, it's deep, it's gutteral, it's very funky and it moves like nothing else. It's reasonably priced and I recommend you BUY THIS!...

PALM TREO IS A DISASTER
Obviously, some of the positive comments have been left by sales reps - don't be fooled as I was - this phone is a disaster. I've had it for 30 days and already these issues:Issues:Earpiece on phone does not work at all.... Can only hear with headsetVoice does not work on headset at timesRinger no longer worksCannot place a call without powering down first.... Calls go out, screen says dialing and then freezes - person on the other end of phone can hear me - I can not hear themThis all began happening over the past week - gradually and I just did not have time to bring the stupid thing back. Never dropped the phone, misused it, nothing.If you have the time to waste on problems and feel like gambling on this one - go for it.... but there is a class action suit on the treo 600 & 650 for similar reasons. Palm messed up on these phone REAL BAD!

Unpractical
This book had good intentions-but is only, at least superficially to the unexamining eye, informative to a Christian. It is full of belief assumptions, misuses of scriptural context, and does not have any actual practical application if you went to go deeper than just "Pray together and have children like God commanded and you will complete each other." "Completing each other" is just one of the many basic statements the book would use carelessly without thoughtful consideration of that statement and whether that type of expectation is what sets couples up for dissapointment in a marriage. Skip this book and find something more useful or perhaps this book will help your marriage if you read it together critically to point out the fallacies it places in the minds of the readers.

Our Second Chance To Meet Lt. Columbo
This is the 2nd Columbo TV movie. This movie was aired before the start of the TV series and was such a success that it helped to launch the series soon afterword. This could be called a pilot for the TV series. As in the series that followed the script of the movie was expertly written and establishes Columbo as the character that he is to become. One of the highest quality TV series of all time with great writing and great acting. In this movie there is a classic battle of wits between Columbo and the murderess.

Worst book ever written
By far the worst book I have ever muddled through. All of the note writing between "Rain" the teacher and Precious was not what I would expect inside a novel. Why didn't Rain look into the alleged incest and child abuse? Precious told her about it all in writing!It could also be the entitlement and lifetime of welfare these people consume with my tax dollars which made me hate the Mamma even more. Why don't we as a Nation do anything to help these people? When her first baby was born at 12. Why wasn't her pregnancy investigated? Makes me ill that we allow this and stand there and do nothing. Which, the result is yet even ANOTHER child we will support for their entire life.I guess the reason I hated this book so much is because of the content and I found myself hating the ignorant people surrounding Precious knowing that her life is the norm for so many ghetto dwellers.Disgusting discusting discusting people in this world.

Christmas Movie
VHS tape was marked on and dirty. Even tho it said delivery date could be as late as Dec. 30th, I ordered this Christmas tape for gift on Dec. 7th and don't see why it had to arrive the week after Christmas. Was not satisfied with this buyer and will not purchase from them in the future.

Genius!!!!
This guy was a studio wizard without peer----and I don't want to hear Phil Spector's name mentioned in the same breath. The scope of his work is staggering. Anybody that would put John Lee Hooker and Miles Davis together for a jam session---THAT COULD GET THOSE TWO TOGETHER FOR A JAM SESSION---and then have sense enough to just let the tape roll has got to be a genius. Don't miss this. After Jack, they broke the mold.

Not the full feature of Stallion Canyon, half or more of the movie is missing
I ordered this movie because my grandfather is one of the main actors. I gave one away as a gift to his daughter and kept one for myself. I have seen the movie a couple of times but when I watched this I was confused because parts that I distinctly remembered were not in the movie. I thought maybe I did not really remember so well. Then, after my aunt sat down this past weekend with my uncle and two other aunt to have a movie night and watch it, she call because most of the movie was missing. I am hoping for a refund because I am not interested in the other feature. Bought it strictly because my grandfather whom I knew and love so much was in it.

WHITE FLAG BY DIDO (LIFE FOR RENT CD)
I only have webtv and not a computer.The sound clips I've heard from different companies(AMAZON INCLUDED) are SO BRIEF,I really don't get to hear enough of the song to rate it.I realize you can't play the WHOLE THING!,but you could play ONE MINUTE where I could really hear enough to actually RATE the song.I WILL say AMAZON'S sound quality is better than most but they are JUST AS STINGY as all the others!What FEW seconds I heard were good I guess but it wasn't nearly LONG ENOUGH...SHAME ON YOU! My rating of 2 stars is for it's briefness.I'm sure if I could hear ENOUGH,it would have been a 5!

Not very entertaining
Not exactly sure why so many people gave this book such excellent reviews, I can only guess they are big fans of Anne Perry. I was simply bored. It is not much fun reading about an investigation that is simply going nowhere for hundreds of pages (admittedly, I listened to an unabridged audiobook - no complaints about the narration quality, btw, but it was one of the longest audiobooks I've ever listened to). Yes, it is somewhat interesting to learn about the peculiarities of the Anglo-Egyptian relations of the period, etc., but really, if the book was 5 times as short, it would be entertaining, but certainly not in its present form.

Parris Nights gave me goosebumps!
After recently purchasing the Parris Nights cd by Parris Hammond, I actually got goosebumps! This peaceful melody of music has a way of going straight to the sole. Every single song on this cd is truely a masterpiece.I hope to see her live someday on Oprah or other media. I hope it is true that she is recording a new cd. Parris nights is the most moving cd I may have ever heard.

What a letdown...
Like most of you, I purchased this CD for the SOLE purpose of owning "the chase scene" music, and patiently waited through the entire 19 tracks only to find out - IT'S NOT IN THERE!!! Feel like strangling someone...As for the CD "as is", I guess it's O.K., if you are into soundtracks. Never really been a huge fan of them, myself. One or two songs are kinda cool, but the whole CD seems to be building up to something that it never delivers. Should've read ALL of the Amazon reviews BEFORE I spent my money. Bummer.

Poor asian quality. Not worth 10cents
Very sad. Bushnell is a big brand. It's a shame that they would put thier name on such a crappy product.As you will read with other reviews, the threads on the bolt that screws into the binoculars is so poorly made you barely get 1/4 turn before it binds up.These are absolutely 100% useless. I was on the phone within 5 minutes arranging for the refund/return back to Amazon.

Extremely amateurish and naive views of the markets
Maria promotes the very concept that led so many naive and inexperienced investors to disaster -- that is, seeking advice from so-called "professionals".

You shouldn't even be reading this...you should own it.
Buy this. If you've gone this far to pursue the Slackers singer/keyboardist's solo effort, you obviously dig the group, and you won't be let down. Just get it already. Neaty-O.Scotch

Medical Info review on Brown Sequards
The book is helpful in following up links to find some info and support groups for Brown Sequards. Still not to much new research available due to the rarity of the disease. Good links to spinal cord injuries which are somewhat helpful. Lot of material on disease itself is redundent info.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
the glowing reviews for this and the rest of the godin series are false . this has 1 or 2 half-decent cuts and the rest of the tracks were rare 'cause they're lousy. I suspect that the listing provides no sample clips because they would interfere with sales . DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Am I the Only Person Disappointed by this Movie?
I liked EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and ED WOOD, both Tim Burton films starring Johnny Depp, and I suppose I was expecting something like that from this one. While it's visually interesting, like most of Burton's movies, and while Depp manages to amuse in a few places, on the whole this seemed like a very by-the-numbers horror/slasher film. Maybe a little more stylish than most, but nowhere near as eclectic and clever as Burton's other films. The scene with the cache of heads in the tree was all right, the scene with the little kid hiding under the floorboards was OK, the early fight scene with the still-capitated horseman was pretty good; but most of the movie threatened to put me to sleep. It's not a big deal that the story has little to do with Washington Irving or even the Disney cartoon, but you'd think the creators could have come up with something a little more original than a "Friday the 13th: Jason Visits The 19th Century" type story.

Coby MP-C759 MP3 Player 2.5 inch display
Music Player module is great. ONE FATAL FLAW--conversion software does not work. I purchased this player for the large 2.5 inch display but cannot receive full benefit if videos cannot be converted with included software. When software is downloaded 30 day trial says 0-days left, option offered to "purchase" software. $100+ a lot to pay for mp3 with 2.5 display.

A great relaxant.
This company is second to none. I've tried other companies and they didn't compare to this product. I take it to help me wind down to go to sleep. It's is one of my three favorite sedatives. It lasts about four hours and there are no side effects.

The software will not recognize my backup device. My Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop (XP Home) is hooked to a Seagate External 160gb hard drive via a USB cable. Yes, everything is working, plugged in and rebooted. BackUpMyPC still only sees the computer's CD and Stomp's web site tech support recommends installing the set-up drivers that came with the external drive which I have done. So, I'm disappointed and can not recommend.

Works ok, nothing special
These do give you a little boost, to me it felt about the same as a cup of coffee. They've made me a little queasy so I use them only when I'm really feeling sluggish. Can't really recommend them.

A beautiful surprise
Steve Ward knows...This CD creeps up on you slowly but effectively. It took me a while to get it; at first it was too smooth and even seemed a bit silly in the song structure. You'll get passed that, in fact you will embrace the silly but very unique and excellent song style; Steve's sense of melody is truly amazing and quite subtle in the hook. The vocal treatment is also very cool; I've never heard anybody deal with the vocals in the harmonies, treatment and mix like is exemplified on this CD.-Lot's of great songs, a worthy addition to any pop collection.

Not great if younger siblings are listening
This is one of my 6 year old's favorite books. Unfortunately my 3 year old has memorized it & thinks it's appropriate to say, "If you don't give me ....., I'm going to yell and scream!" and, "If you don't let me have those....., I'm going to knock them down." I wasn't thrilled about the sexist ending either. Robert Munsch often starts with a great premise, but goes overboard with the rude language. There are so many other ways to get kids to laugh; it's too bad that he resorts to this so often.
