0	The Last King	A bit of information to add to J. Bowring's most helpful review:Amazon.co.uk sells both this cut-down A&E; version of the series and the full four-hour BBC version. HOWEVER if you search on "The Last King" you will find only the A&E; title you see here. Why? Because the BBC release is titled simply "Charles II." Film distributors learned the hard way that when American audiences see a number after a title they assume it is a sequel! So British releases like this or "Edward VII" and "Madness of George III" are retitled for American release.	negative
1	Good Value On Used Callaway Balls But ...	The golf balls arrived in a plastic egg-like carton. They were all in excellent condition. However, on closer inspection, 4 of the 36 balls were a different Callaway model than HX Hot. They included 4 CX3 Hot models, which are a much cheaper (and under-performing) model which can be purchased new at discount stores such as WalMart very imexpensively. So all in all, it's still a great buy, but be aware that you may not receive a full count of the balls you expected to receive.	positive
0	Didn't work	I was told by ATT n T that any DSL router will work with them. Either they where wrong or the routers is bad. Been to busy to find original boxes to try an return	negative
0	Do not buy this!	It needs to be said that I am a long time die-heart Metallica fan.I've always put off buying this set because of the price. I wasn't convinced that what you pay is offset by what you get. I finally broke down and got it. Simply put my instincts were right on. This CD/DVD is not worth it. The sound quality is terrible and you already have the songs on some other Metallica CD. You can't justify spending over fifty bucks on something that Metallica dragged out of their circular file. Besides you will get sick and tired of James Hetfield's constant cursing. There is just no reason for it.I advise you not to buy this CD/DVD. Save your money.	negative
0	Size	I bought the skeleton with the intention of putting it inside a coffin for decoration. Sure it says 33 inches, but its really not wide at all, looks like a baby's skeleton, which is what I absolutely didn't want.	negative
1	o.k	I LIKED THE REAL WIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY.THE SHOW WAS VERY ENTERTAINING. THE ONLY ONE I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE WAS LAURI SHE LOOKED LIKE A WRINKLED CAT WITH A HORRIBLE SURGEON AND TOO MUCH BOTOX. I AGREE WITH THE OTHER GUY SHE TREATED HER CHILDREN HORRIBLY EVEN THOUGH THEY CRIED OUT FOR HELP AND WHEN SHE HOOKED UP WITH GEORGE SHE STARTED TO ACT AS IF SHE WERE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. WAS I THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT GEORGE SEEMED A LITTLE FRUITY YOU KNOW ON THE DOWNLOW?	positive
1	real disco for real	Well, it's what it is: compilation of old school and mostly unknown disco anthems, picking up from some hard-to-find 12', etc. Can't say, it blew me out, but, well, if you love disco it's your choice -- at least, this very compilation isn't so straightforward like previous effort: here you can find some real diamonds, let me say, disco epics.	positive
0	swim cap	I was happy with this swim cap at first. But after a few weeks, the snap tore away from the body of the cap. Wish I could get my money back.	negative
1	No flu here!!	My husband felt fluish twice and we took this product plus some vitamin C and zinc and he felt better by morning. I haven't gotten sick and we are both VERY impressed with this product. Does not hurt our stomachs, either. (And we did NOT get flu shots.) PS Hand sanitizer is helpful, too.	positive
1	Poor Sookie	I think that Sookie needs to think about packing her bags and heading west to escape all of the problems thanked getting thrown in her way. She has survived so much and I am so curious to see what she is going to get into next!	positive
0	More Liberal Propaganda	In Sneetches we are asked to sympathize with the star-less Sneetches, who are seeking special rights because they aren't invited to parties. Instead of throwing a party themselves or maybe getting a job, the star-less Sneetches just mope around on the beach. Eventually the starred Sneetches let the star-less ones participate in the parties, but only after every last dollar is spent and the economy has crashed.Who is the 'bad guy' in the story? Why it's the entrepreneur, the business owner, the one person who appears to have a job......of course.This is the most insidious form of liberal propaganda -- the kind that sneaks up on children. While Doctor Seuss (who wasn't a real Doctor) wrote many a book that teaches wholesome values, his works are interspersed with liberal propaganda, like this book and the Lorax, which should be avoided like the liberal plague.	negative
1	High quality, fast delivery, great price--How can you beat that?	As usual, Amazon offered exactly what I wanted. The detailed description made it easy to choose the exact item that met my needs. The bench is very sturdy, easily adjustable, and strong without being heavy and cumbersome. Even though the shipping was free, it only took a few days for delivery. The price was most reasonable. These factors all added up to a perectbpurchase.	positive
0	Very disappointing - it was neither advanced or about R5	It was very light on anything R5 and, as pointed out by other reviewers, early beta versions. A better title would have been R4.6 Web programming for Domino.	negative
1	Hanson Similarity	I think gameface is a _really_ good band, and I don't know if i noticed it before hearing the new Hanson, but the vocals on this album on the Gameface tracks sounds mysteriously like Taylor from everyone's favorite teen-pop-stars Hanson. But despite that frightening coincidence, it's my one of my favorite albums, and well worth the money.	positive
1	Worth Every Penny!	A friend recommended The Fisherman and I am so glad she did. Not usually a fan of historical fiction, I was captivated by this book from the beginning. If you want to experience the ministry of Jesus, through the eyes of Peter, then you should not pass on the opportunity to read this book.	positive
0	How could any book be as dumb as this?!?!?!?!?!	This was the dumbest book ever written. The author doesn't have one creative writing bone in his body. every book ever written by this sleezeball of grimy fat sucks big ones. However, the editor of the book didn't leave one grammatical error. don't read any books by this man. If your curious, read one and you've read 'em all because they are the same with changed names!!! beware: if you do read this book, you will find yourself getting progressively dumb and dumber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	negative
0	didn't work	I ordered a copy of the Wild World of Batwoman from Amazon and doesn't work. When I first got it, it almost played on my DVD/VCR television and it wouldn't play on my PS2. Now it won't play on any DVD player.I want a new one	negative
0	Hated It!	I think that the book is well written; I find Kraukhauer's style and organization quite good.I hated the chief character. I think that he was a spoiled brat, young and idealistic, and irresponsible. Regardless of your anger to your parents who have given you everything, you don't walk out on them, break off contact, and become a vagrant. Yes, a vagrant.While reading this book I knew my next one was "My Just War" by Gabriel Temkin. I didn't know what it was about, but I knew that it was about a Polish Jew who was in the Russian Army during WWII. I knew that it was going to be about survival.Temkin book did not let me down. It was about someone with nothing and no one who survived, prevaled and made something of his life. This was quite refreshing, compared to Into the Wild where the main character throws everything away.If you want to read about surviving during an incredible time in a terrible place, read Temkin' s book.	negative
0	Lies!	this book is full of lies!!!!! She used to be my mom and she made me tell lies 2. but no more!!!!!!!!!! she will always tell lies but i will always tell the truth and that is that it never happened.... only in side her head@!!!!!!!	negative
0	The quality is lacking.	These are not what you'd expect from Wusthof. The Wusthof symbol on the handle is a STICKER (!!!) which bleaches out after washing. Also, after 1 months use and washing, we're getting rust spots. While these knives are sharp, they are not holding up appearance wise. Very disappointed.	negative
1	Genius + Gnius = GENIUS	As someone who knew The Count of Basie and had the pleasure of producing 3 Theatre in the Round Ray Charles performances in 1977, the genius of this two performers finally got together to do something that was only dreamt of. The melding of these two giants was far overdue. My only complaint is that it wasn't one hour and 49 minutes long instead of 49 minutes.The Basie Band has never sounded better especially under the driving beat of Butch Miles. I have been counting the days since I found out about this project and during the first three hours of ownership, I have lietened to it twice. Buy it, even if you only love one of them, by the time it's over you be in love with both. Cudos to Greg Field and all of those involved for this definate GRAMMY AWARD effort.Steve Grossman	positive
0	Based on a true story	I was hoping this was a feel good based on a true story type of movie but boy i was wrong. It was depressing and the movie just dragged out. I love the true story and that he lived out his life on his own terms but i would've loved to see a different turn out on a positive note. The give the real christopher McCandless 5 stars but the movie gets 2.	negative
1	Perfect gift for the cook in your family	i bought this dutch oven for my husband who loves to cook. it was his favorite Christmas gift. I compared this product to the french brands and bought this one instead of paying 200 and up for the other brands. Well worth what i paid.	positive
0	Not Reliable	I purchased this because it was dual voltage and traveled to South America with it. For a month. The second time I used it there it completely died. I left it in Bolivia and I slept with wet hair for the remainder of my MONTH LONG TRIP. Had I not tossed this piece of dead weight in my pack, I would be returning it.	negative
1	Love tv	This TV is awesome. The picture is much better than our 61" Sony. I'd recomment the TV to anyone. One disappointing thing, the "white glove" delivery service we were to receive NEVER happened. They dropped the TV off at our basement door and never brought it into the room we wanted it or unpacked it or took any packaging with them. I'm very glad that wasn't an extra cost service.	positive
0	just boring	This had the potential to be a good movie, but the reliance on quite a bit sophomoric, bathroom humor really brought it down. There were long stretches that were just utterly boring. Combine this with a predictable script, it was a big disappointment. I had higher hopes from a movie with Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.	negative
1	It works	Nothing too exciting to say about this splitter cable. It works. I got it, hooked it up and realized I didn't need it. My new graphics card has 2 DVI ports in it. I'd give it 5 stars if I had used it enough to see how well it performs. So much for impulse buying.	positive
0	Don't buy this book	Not worth your money. And if you have this book, you might as well donate it to some bum so he can burn it for heat	negative
1	sequel of sorts available	I absolutely loved the video Lord Of THe Rings and was extremely upset that Ralph Bakshi never made the second half...However, I recently saw 'The Return of the King' which is available on video from Amazon.com and it completes the story. The animation is excellent although some of the songs date it a bit... It is by the same team that made the animated classic 'The Hobbit' which is also excellent... So if like me, you were dissapointed Bakshi never finished the Lord sequel then checvk out Return of the King as it is purely based on the last Tolkien book and covers the ending pretty well...	positive
0	not what I expected from Kong	It is a quite large toy intended for large breeds (so I thought). However, my german shepherds tore it to pieces in a little over one hour.... May be it should be mentioned that this is a rather soft toy not intended for large dogs.	negative
0	2 of 4 fail in a year	I'm not as impressed with this product as I was in the beginning.I use a Maha charger to charge my 4 Maha 9v's.Now, 2 of them won't charge, way before their expected life end. If it were 1, well, ok. But 2, this is obnoxious, incompetent, and not worth buying again.	negative
1	A Must Read By All Americans	I had the wonderful pleasure of attending a lecture and book signing at the Politics and Prose Bookstore in Washington, DC. C-Span broadcasted the lecture featuring Ron Suskind. I was impressed and moved by his speech and reading this book has given me an insight as to how Mr. Bush runs our government. This book is a must read. Mr. O'Neill's credibility is beyond reproach. He has served past presidents from both sides of the aisle, has a strong working relationship with Alan Greenspan, and has a good mind as to how this country should approach fiscal responsiblity. Unfortunately he worked within an administration that seems to be more concerned with their control of power than what is best for the average American. Some may see this different and that is okay too. But this book gives us an idea of how Bush makes decisions and who really is in charge of our government. A government driven on ideaology instead of by facts. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did.	positive
1	Educational and confusing at the same time	Jenner & co. have produced a very, very interesting DVD on a very, very difficult matter; and although there are examples ad lib. I miss out on the "basics of ventilation", a chapter that might turn this educational production into a "must see" for everyone in the project of constructing (or changing) a pigeon loft. I feel left back with an impression of "this just might work" - not the ABC of "how to make it work" - but perhaps this is the essence of the matter: no "one solution fits all" do exist in reality. At least any person watching this DVD will definitely be armed with a lot of inspirations and ideas.	positive
0	Crappy sustain pedal	Worked ok for a couple of months, then intermittently and finally it broke after a year or so,it's cheaply made, and as mentioned in other posts, has a thin wire acting as a switch inside,(mine broke, so I can't really fix it).	negative
0	Cheapest 2 GB USB stick, or used to be	For one, brief, shining moment, this was the cheapest 2 GB USB stick available on Amazon. Prime-eligible, low price...what's not to love? Best of all, I could use it as a USB boot drive, and thus I could use it to repair a friend's netbook. O, how she wailed when she saw me retract the foresk -- excuse me, the protective sleeve, and insert the tiny, white dingus into her formerly pristine computer. Ha ha!As for the movie, who knows. Personally, if they show a movie at MY funeral, the title had better not be "This Is It". That's a little on-the-nose for me. But if you want a USB drive with which to defile your computer, this might be a good choice.None of you are safe!	negative
1	Best Ever	Very possibly the best Advanced Accounting Text ever written. The authors cover full and partial elimination consolidation procedures is a manner which is consistent and clearly understandable. The differences between cost, partial equity and full equity method are covered in detail. I strongly urge you to purchase a copy of this text. It will be invaluable in attempting to understand many of the more recent attempts to produced a usable advanced accounting text.	positive
1	Twisted	This movie has a twisted plot line and you may have to watch it several times to figure everything out that is going on. Overall, it is a good movie though.	positive
1	best of ancient aliens	I chose this rate because they took some very good episodes from the current tv series. I recommend this dvd if you are curious about this tv series. Season 5 is about to start Dec 21 2012 on the History cannel. I' sure we will all be here to watch th e new series. Oh its my birthday also. Thankyou	positive
1	Neat	Got product exactly as described and it's pretty neat. It's the perfect hiding spot in plain sight. It's real legit	positive
0	A Complete Miss!	The people at Hippo Records obviously have no concept of what Judy Garland was all about! This new CD release contains the weakest moments from her exciting TV series. The only worthwhile tracks are "Here's to Us" and "Something Cool" which she recorded but did not air. That latter is actually only a partial cut, she didn't finish the recording. Stick to the DVD's of this series, this CD is a complete miss!	negative
1	A Great Compilation	If I could choose the 10 best classical albums, this would be one of them. The Boccherini is probably the best part, and sections of it were used in several movies, including Sherlock Holmes: The Case of The Silk Stocking and Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World. The quality of the recording is crystal clear, creating the most enjoyable listening experience. It finishes off with Albinoni and the fabulous Adagio in G Minor, featuring Wolfgang Meyer on the organ. All in all, it's a very nice album, and a joy to listen to.	positive
0	5 Star Movie; 1 Star DVD	The Internet Movie Database says this movie runs 85 min but the USA version is 100 min. The disc released by Intermedia Video has most of the graphic sex cut out. Furthermore, the scene in which a woman has demons exorcised by a witchdoctor is gone. The "doctor" literally blows smoke up her butt!!!	negative
0	Boring	How can a book mostly about murdering be boring? By making it read like a catalog. Sure, the author was trying to set a scene of the self-absorbed consumer by using the style, but I just found it tedious and uninteresting.	negative
0	Extremely disappointing	The fact of the matter is that the quality of this recording is poor, and the instrument(s) were not tuned properly on all keys, and there were mis-notes, and there were off-tempo stanzas in the passages. Extremely disappointing. Not a CD one would wish to keep. Hard to understand from DG.	negative
0	Prophecy: What the future holds for you	It is easy to do any predictions in generalities. It leaves an attitude of "might be" or "might not be". Also the science fiction of yesterday is reality today, so look back gather up past evidence and do a modern day prediction. Why research Edgar Cayce to make predictions if one had a link to the future as she claims? Cayce did the provoking for ideal thinking and I think she is cashing in on it.	negative
1	Impressed	I am using this book as a required textbook at my University. As a introduction to xhtml, html, etc. programming, I find this book exceptional. I've gotten feedback from other people in my curriculum, and they all agreed that the book is very good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I've used templates and played with dreamweaver, but this book is the first time I understood what was happening. You can't go wrong by purchasing this book..	positive
1	Great family film	Another instant hit with the family. Great story, excellent message and very fun, heartwarming and wholesome entertainment. Wish all the Wonderful World of Disney films were available for purchase.	positive
0	Elvis Comeback dvd	I did not care for theese dvd's The second and third dvds have out takes and i really did not enjoy them the first dvd was very good	negative
0	TOTAL JUNK!	This is the most ridiculous "kids" toy I have ever seen. First the directions are inconsistent with many mistakes and contradictions. Second many of the experiments require the scientist, a young child, to wait hours and sometimes a day to see the results. What were these people thinking??? Not to mention many of the "experiments" are basically the same thing with very similar results. Save yourself the time and money and grab baking soda and vinegar for your own volocano and you will get better results!	negative
0	Try the J.G. Reeder stories instead	This novel by the once-famous mystery writer Edgar Wallace is fast-moving, but too cliche-ridden and predictable to be recommended. Once a certain nefarious character breaks free from custody, you'll be able to write a synopsis of the rest of the book without reading it. And here's a bit of a love scene: "He crushed her in his arms, his cheek against hers, his lips tingling with the caress of her hair." It goes on like that. "The Daffodil Mystery" is free on Kindle, but perhaps not worth every penny. (On the other hand, the short stories in Wallace's collection "The Mind of J.G. Reeder" are still quite enjoyable, if you like early twentieth-century detective fiction.)	negative
0	Dissapointed	Perhaps my fault but this wasnt the actualy book set. Seems like some type of tv/radio version of the storyline.	negative
0	Judy Blume can do much better than this!!!!	I am a fan of Judy Blume and believed she had a remarkable way of getting inside a character to make them real, interesting and worth the read. This book is disappointing. You don't develop any real attachment to any of the characters and by the end of the book, which is disappointing in itself, you'll be glad to be done reading.	negative
1	A Living American Treasure	Jim Harrison's memoir, Off to the Side, is just as gritty, scrutinizing, and lush as his novels and novellas. Harrison's life of the mind makes excellent reading, and he doesn't seem to make any excuses for his failures or take too much credit for his successes.Harrison's work in Hollywood gave him access and interesting insight into show business during the eighties and nineties. His reflection on those times and his utter distaste for his life then is filled with witty observations and candid appraisals.His writing has always been filled an intoxicating blend of wine, food, sex, and natural history. Harrison's descriptions of his life and his process will be valuable and heartening to any aspiring writers. But more importantly, he reflection on a life lived with gusto and exuberance will be inspiring to any anybody who wants to live a life that is passionate and full of wonder.	positive
0	want to return and cannot	I purchrased it new and it was used and does not work. I boutght it in NOvember and started watching the series. I am on the third season and it does not play. I am trying to return it but it is after the deadline. Whi watches a series of movies in 30 days	negative
0	Bad beef jerky	I agree with Michael Whitney from Seattle. The beef jerky tasted ok but was tough as leather to chew on. I won't be buying this brand of beef jerky again.	negative
0	ok	Wanted to add a rating more than a full review.I have read many GH books and, for me, this one was ok, but not one of her best stories.	negative
1	American Conquest	This game is a enhanced version of Cossacks, with extreamly good RTS features and with the ablity to have 16,000 units it gets tence. If you liked Cossack or Age of Empires this is a great buy.	positive
1	Great "toy" with a valuable lesson.	Hoping not to be redundant I'll go to the "nuts and bolts": The chart works great with my kids. We work it like this: Every night I set it up, in the morning the kids and I go over their own board and then before bed we go over what they did during the day. I give them their coins and they put them on the board themselves. We tally their results every sunday after church, then they get the money they earned thru the week. I compliment this toy with Dave Ramsey's Junior's Adventures Bank for a complete financial lesson. The board itself is well built although one of them began warping over time.	positive
1	He who is the greatest	to me this book was a interesting book it related not only to the people who wouldn't want to read the book but was told to, to get a grade and also to the people who liked short stories as well.This book had some stories for all ages and races when in certain books their content is only relating to a specific reader.	positive
1	Enchanting look at a distant culture	I bought this book for review in a college Southeast Asia class. Having been a fan of Grimm's fairy tales and stories of that type, I found a lot of these retellings familiar in plot. However, the characterizations and behaviors, as well as the settings, provided a distinctively Burmese flavor to the universal stories. With a large historical and cultural overview to start it off, this book provided a good general idea of Southeast Asian culture within and easily understandable and entertaining framework.	positive
1	Best Duran Duran Since Rio	Brilliant. Beautiful. Amazing. If you're reading this review, you will LOVE this album. Who would have thunk that the coolest album of 2004 would have been recorded by the original line-up of 80's poster boys Duran Duran? The sound has been updated a bit, but there is no denying that this is classic Duran Duran. Cryptic lyrics, haunting vocals, pounding bass...hot 'n bothered...raw...sexy. For comparison's sake, pit Want You More against Hungry Like The Wolf, Astronaut against The Reflex, What Happens Tomorrow against Ordinary World, and Bedroom Toys against Notorious. No filler on this album whatsoever. This album isn't just for fans, its for everyone. Duran Duran are back in style. Highest possible recommendation.	positive
0	Please do not buy this book	I found this author not to my taste. The background, her use of language, the plot she weaves, the main characters, are all lacking . I read more than one book, so that I can give her a fair chance. I struggled through the first book, and gave up through the middle of the second. It simply was not worth it, despite the many recommendations she got on the romance talk board , which only shows that one should buy one book and test an author. If you are still in 2 minds after reading this please only buy one book.	negative
1	pretty cute	You'll either love Barney or be so annoyed by him that you want to scream. There's not much room in-between there. Obviously, this movie is aimed at the much younger crowd. I watched it while I was baby-sitting one time, and it was cute enough. If your kids like Barney, they'll like the movie. Simple as that. Barney fans get what they want in this movie, and they won't be disappointed.	positive
0	cheap product	This product is VERY cheaply made!! I couldn't even close the cover on a couple of them... I returned them and Amazon was very nice about it and I received a refund promptly....	negative
0	Managed DirectX 9, Kick Start	The trouble with this book is that it is long outdated. The code delivered with the book and discussed in the text no longer is part of DirectX9, so it is pretty much useless for learning the toolkit.	negative
0	Something's wrong	This was my second order of the same DVD. It jammed my player early on in the recording and caused a lot of problems not to mention the frustration.(both times) There is something wrong with the production of this item. You should not be selling it.	negative
1	Great Read	Absolutely great read that touches many subjects in a scientific and fun way. I've re-read sections of it over the years. Well written and cites plenty of references if you want to dive deeper into a topic that interest you.	positive
1	amaaazing	one of the best trance hits. i love every remix of this song but my favourite has to be the gabriel & dresden chillout mix...by far. amazing song.	positive
1	Wonderful Collection	This is the most wonderful collection that I have seen in a long time. It has all my favorite mussicals in one set and they look and sound better than I could have imagined. I love it and would advise anyone to get it for your library. Every child should see these great films at least once.	positive
1	no longer lost	Not since the days of the Chronicles and Legends have i enjoyed reading so much. Dragons of a Lost Star is incredible! And while I had my doubts after reading the first War of Souls novel, Dragons of a Fallen Sun, rest assured fellow readers, all is right in the world of Krynn. Finally, the one God's identity is revealed! And you will kick yourselves because the answer is so obvious with all the elven wars. Qualinost under attack by the great Beryl! Once the one god is unmasked the pieces of this great and wonderful puzzle begin to fall into place. take note of the man aboard the Gull Wing, he's got alot of making up to do! do yourself a favor and run to buy this book. I promise, you wil not regret for one moment. the return of Dalamar! the secret behind the dead walking again! it's going to be a long year awaiting dragons of a Vanished Moon...	positive
0	not her best	McCrumb has a tendency to toss in one completely unrealistic plot device to keep her stories moving in the way she wants them to go. In The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, it's the ridiculously non-existant guardianship of the Underhill teens. Can you say, "Ward of the state?"Also, what was with the whole thing about the Judds? Particularly since all the facts were wrong. McCrumb has Martha tell Spencer that the liver is the one organ that doesn't get better, when reality is exactly the opposite. The liver is the ONLY regenerative organ in the body. Also, what's with the talk of the hepatitis coming from bad road food? If you don't want to go into the modes of transmission of hepatitis C, don't make it a subplot. As someone with a family member with hep C, the misinformation here really annoyed me. It's horribly nitpicky to say it affected my enjoyment of the rest of the book, but I kept thinking, what other facts has she gotten completely wrong? not her best effort at all.	negative
0	Dead after 3-1/2 holes	Perhaps the bit I got was defective, but I am totally disappointed in the bit I received. I'm drilling hard porcelain tiles, something the bit claims it is intended to handle. The first hole the bit went through like the proverbial hot knife through butter. By the third hole it was slow going. Less than half way through the fourth hole I quit. Upon examining the bit there are no signs of overheating and there is also nothing on the bottom cutting face except polished metal.I've ordered another one, but only because for $3.99 and Amazon Prime I can get it here next day and finish on time. But in the future I certainly won't buy Hitachi bits.And for those who might wonder, yes I did use water cooling. I've worked with tile and drilled enough holes to know how a bit should perform, and it definitely shouldn't perform like this one.	negative
0	Decent TV, Terrible Customer Service - Update	The TV works fine, but the remote didn't work from day 1. I called Philips* they made me copy and fax my receipt* wait two weeks for a confirm number* package the remote and mail it back at my expense ($8).* I still don't have a remote - 2 months after purchase.Update - 6 weeks after mailing in my broken remote (that was broken when it came out of the box) - I rec'd the same broken remote mailed back to me today. I jumped through every hoop imaginable and they just mailed it back. Avoid Philips at all cost.UPDATE - After finally replacing the remote at my own cost, I enjoyed the TV for about 10 months until the video component went out. I still have audio, but no picture which kind of defeats the purpose of have a teleVISION. I called Philips and was told (like the others) that the TV is not under warranty and I could purchase a refurb unit for $299. I'll never buy from Philips again.	negative
1	The Complete Book of Running	I really enjoyed this book. I am relatively new to "jogging" (4 years, and as James refers to it, as running) and this book, even though dated, still give lots of wonderful information. This is a witty, fast read, and I felt it was very well organized. I am currently training for my 2nd 10K race this season, so I guess I'm hooked!	positive
1	Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Beer Can Chicken Roaster	Bought it for all the Griller Guys, family and friends, as Christmas presents. All were quite pleased with the quality, versatility and ease of use of this product. The chicken comes off the grill looking like a Top Chef meal and the bird is juicy and moist.	positive
1	Great colander, great value	I love this colander: it seems sturdy, and the holes are small enough that you don't need to worry about smaller pasta sliding through. I use it for pasta shells and never lose any. The legs are slightly too short so if your kitchen sink doesn't drain very fast you may have to hold the colander, instead of setting it in the sink. However, it's nice and wide so I don't have any problem holding onto it while I drain.	positive
1	PAUL--IS--A--GENUIS	Paul McCartney is my favorite singer and The Beatles are my favorite band.That, I think, is a very good combination. Paul did an especialy good job on this one and I listen to it for hours	positive
0	Just alright...	The game has fairly good cartoonish graphics for the time it was made. The voice acting is clique but serves its purpose for the game style. Plenty of war materials to get anyone happy. The biggest issue is the controls. They are hard to get use to and some what clumsy. It didn't feel natural to move and conduct basic movements and commands. After a while I got tired of it and simply put the game down. I don't any intention of ever playing it again. Just not worth the time.	negative
0	Buyers Beware! Check your camera model before you buy this	These cards only work with Camera that supports the Write Acceleration !! otherwise the speed is no different from a 12X card. There is nothing wrong with the card in terms of capacity or quality.I have given a single star rating coz it should clearly state that the 80x speed is only possible with cameras supporting Write Acceleration !!Very Few camera support this technology and one can easily get the same capacity ( 12x ) at 1/4 the mentioned price. SO why pay more if your camera does not support this technology !!	negative

0	Poor CD Sound Quality	This CD-Set was not up to snuff on sound quality. I expected a CD released in 2000 to sound much better. This set sounds like a studio rehearsal (no liner notes or any information is included). Peter Tosh provides lead vocals on several songs. I would not recommend this set, and instead would advise the $50 set (Songs of Freedom). If you seek only a single CD, buy Legend--the Best of Bob Marley. Other excellent CDs include Exodus, Kaya, Uprising, Catch a Fire, and the live CD's Babylon By Bus, and Live.	negative
0	Keep looking.	I've been using this stove on occasion in my woodshop for two months now. All four corners around the firebox have already cracked. The thing would completely fall apart were it not for the four slender metal rods on each corner that are apparently the "back up" for the welding (or caulking, it seems. Yikes!).One side is now white (couldn't handle the heat?)and the stove hasn't been subjected to anything out of the ordinary. I'll be looking for a new stove next winter.	negative
1	Androgynous Pop in all his raw power!	The Stooges swan song album and also the allusion to the punk sound that sprang up in the mid to late 1970s together in one album. Iggy's remixing of the tracks does make the album sound stronger and more visceral. Classic proto-punk must have!	positive
0	waste of time	This movie was great if you like bad acting, predictable plots and teasing girls in revealing shirts. It reminded me of a trip I took to a strip club back in the early 90's. The girl worked me up and then left me hanging at the end. No resolution. Thank goodness I borrowed this from the library. But I will never again get those minutes back that I sat through watching this. If you like Ms. Olsen, check it out, she's kinda cute and built, otherwise, go with a better movie.	negative
0	Could be a lot better	Eva Cassidy had a nice voice. But, you know what? So do a lot of female vocalists. There is nothing out of the ordinary here. I hear women in church choirs all the time that sing as well or better, with far more range.The bottom line for me is whether music is interesting and pleasant to listen to. This album just drags. I have very eclectic tastes in music, ranging from opera to jazz to soul to blues to rock. I'll listen to anything good. This doesn't qualify, in my opinion. Compare her to someone like Billy Holiday and see the difference.Now, you can mindlessly listen to all the hype about Eva Cassidy or you can think for yourself. It's chic to listen to her and say you like her. Certainly give it a try. Do yourself a favor and take the album out of the library or borrow it from somebody who has it first. There's a good chance you won't like it, as long as you listen to it with an open mind and aren't brainwashed by the hype.	negative
0	Camera broken twice	I've had this camera for maybe 18 months. It broke once-- pictures hopelessly blurry, NOT user error-- and HP sent me a new one. The second one is now broken-- the lens is retracted and won't extend-- and now I'm stuck because it's out of warranty and HP won't even repair it at my expense. When it did work, it sucked batteries like crazy. Do yourself a favor and find another brand.	negative
1	Queen on the upswing	After 1977's "News Of The World", there wasn't a Queen album that I really, thoroughly enjoyed. The ones since then had their high points, but "News Of The World" was the last one I really enjoyed. "A Kind Of Magic" is, for me, the beginning of Queen on the upswing -- this album, and the ones after it, are much better (IMHO) than the albums they released after 1977.Ironically, the first time I heard "A Kind Of Magic", I didn't like it. At all. But after listening to it a bit I gained an appreciation for it, and now consider it to be one of their better albums. It's not quite up there with most of their 70's material, but it's a step in the right direction and a good piece of work. Followed by "The Miracle", the superb "Innuendo", and "Made In Heaven".	positive
0	Investment Boner?	As a BMW motorcyclist and long-distance touring afficionado, I found the book diverting as a travelogue. However, it became annoying as a the author's self promotion, not only professionally but personally, began to intrude. Mr. Rogers siezed every opportunity to remind us that his travelling companion, Ms. Estabrook, was not merely a platonic friend. This apparently needed to be alluded to often, as she had thoughtfully prepared for the journey by actually taking motorcycle repair classes, and would probably otherwise have been mistaken for a mechanic rather than a tootsie. By way of example, he helpfully lists "birth control pills" rather than the boringly generic "prescription medications" in his travelers' packing checklist appendix. If Viagra had been available at the time, one wonders if it would have merited special mention as well?	negative
0	poor quality; works intermittently - NOT HEAVY DUTY	The only "heavy" thing about these timers is the weight -- not the performance. One of the two timers works with relative regularity (interesting that regularity is relative for a clock of sorts). The other quickly gets off time and does not turn on/off as a function of the little pins it is constructed to respond to. I would STRONGLY recommend buying a different product.	negative

0	Two Thumbs Down	Our Book Group read this book based on the positive reviews posted on Amazon.com. What a disappointment it turned out to be for us. We found the protagonist, Annie, to be a weak, self-indulgent and immature character. None of us felt sympathy or empathy towards Annie or her unrequited lover, Andrew. The best thing the book had going for it was the description of St. Andrews. We unanimously gave it Two Thumbs Down.	negative
1	Excellent!	The final chapter of this book might be the most important thing you will ever read on the believer's ground of assurance. Certain knowledge of one's salvation (justification) is to be based solely in the promise of God and NEVER in good works. This is just as Calvin taught who said in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, "If men begin to judge whether they are regenerate by good works nothing will ever be more uncertain or more evil' (and) 'If works be judged by themselves by their imperfection they will no less declare God's wrath than by their incomplete purity will testify to his benevolence' (and) 'When a Christian looks to himself he can only have grounds for anxiety, indeed despair' (and) 'We should not seek assurance by conjecture, for faith corresponds to a simple and free promise, hence no place for doubting is left!'"	positive

I like everything about this item except that it is sometimes difficult to get a local radio station tuned in clearly.It also fades in and out,at times, as I walk past it.I bought it for my bedroom but it's been in the kitchen since it arrived and I plugged it in to see how it worked!	positive
0	A Whole Lot of Nothing!	While no one can fault Giuliano for his research on the Beatles, this one should have remained in the dark! He has absolutely NO sense of production and the crew he assembled to shoot and edit this mess doesn't seem to have a clue on any level! When you hear someone talking about Yoko Ono, you see footage of Paul.. and that sort of "presentation" runs through the entire DVD!Sound levels are awful and Giuliano brings absolutely nothing to the screen when he wanders around Liverpool, pontificating ad nauseum.About the ONLY redeeming element in this mess is the segment of Pete Best.. and even that is obviously shot on home video and bumped down several generations at that.Wait for the Beatles Anthology on DVD -- THAT will be worth the wait and the money!	negative
1	A Nice Little Cooler!	I ordered this because I needed something to keep my refrigerated medicine in my bathroom. I was tired of treking to the kitchen to get it. It holds 2 bottles of supplements, a tube of salve and 4 pre-filled syringes without the packaging. I could wish it were a little larger but I wanted something small. I like the fact that you can run it on ac or dc and that there is a cord for plugging it in to the cigarette lighter in the car. All in all, nice cooler.	positive
1	Solid gold.	William Hung may not be the best singer, but he knows this. So all you people saying "he actually thinks hes the best new thing" are wrong.He may look "mildly retarded" to you, but he's out there in front of everyone giving his all, while you all criticizing him are sitting in a veil of anonymity. He may have severe luck, but he's also got every quality a good entertainer should have; except for a voice.It seems more of you are here to ridicule, rather than review.	positive
0	Not as described in instructions	I just rec'd a pair of 28" Silblades. The cost was over $40 and unless I want to throw them in the trash, I have to put them on the drill press to drill some holes so that they will fit. The directions show TWO holes drilled in the blade so that they can be used with BOTH 1/4" and 3?16" pins. The blades I rec'd DO NOT have any holes drilled. I am sure that drilling the holes will void my warranty but I have no choice, other than to throw them away.	negative
0	poor sounds, not loud enough	The volume doesn't get loud enough to drown out any outside noise. Also, the sounds fluctuate way to much, going from soft to kind of loud back to soft again. This won't keep my daughter asleep if an outside noise (phone, dog barking, etc.) happens during the soft cycle. The rain sound is pretty constant, but still not loud enough. I ended up returning the machine and downloading an mp3 of white noise that sounds more like a constant static. I made lots of copies and put them on my iPod and run that in her room now. It works great and I can really crank the volume up if I need to.	negative

The Last King

A bit of information to add to J. Bowring's most helpful review:Amazon.co.uk sells both this cut-down A&E; version of the series and the full four-hour BBC version. HOWEVER if you search on "The Last King" you will find only the A&E; title you see here. Why? Because the BBC release is titled simply "Charles II." Film distributors learned the hard way that when American audiences see a number after a title they assume it is a sequel! So British releases like this or "Edward VII" and "Madness of George III" are retitled for American release.

Good Value On Used Callaway Balls But ...

The golf balls arrived in a plastic egg-like carton. They were all in excellent condition. However, on closer inspection, 4 of the 36 balls were a different Callaway model than HX Hot. They included 4 CX3 Hot models, which are a much cheaper (and under-performing) model which can be purchased new at discount stores such as WalMart very imexpensively. So all in all, it's still a great buy, but be aware that you may not receive a full count of the balls you expected to receive.

Do not buy this!

It needs to be said that I am a long time die-heart Metallica fan.I've always put off buying this set because of the price. I wasn't convinced that what you pay is offset by what you get. I finally broke down and got it. Simply put my instincts were right on. This CD/DVD is not worth it. The sound quality is terrible and you already have the songs on some other Metallica CD. You can't justify spending over fifty bucks on something that Metallica dragged out of their circular file. Besides you will get sick and tired of James Hetfield's constant cursing. There is just no reason for it.I advise you not to buy this CD/DVD. Save your money.

More Liberal Propaganda

In Sneetches we are asked to sympathize with the star-less Sneetches, who are seeking special rights because they aren't invited to parties. Instead of throwing a party themselves or maybe getting a job, the star-less Sneetches just mope around on the beach. Eventually the starred Sneetches let the star-less ones participate in the parties, but only after every last dollar is spent and the economy has crashed.Who is the 'bad guy' in the story? Why it's the entrepreneur, the business owner, the one person who appears to have a job......of course.This is the most insidious form of liberal propaganda -- the kind that sneaks up on children. While Doctor Seuss (who wasn't a real Doctor) wrote many a book that teaches wholesome values, his works are interspersed with liberal propaganda, like this book and the Lorax, which should be avoided like the liberal plague.

High quality, fast delivery, great price--How can you beat that?

As usual, Amazon offered exactly what I wanted. The detailed description made it easy to choose the exact item that met my needs. The bench is very sturdy, easily adjustable, and strong without being heavy and cumbersome. Even though the shipping was free, it only took a few days for delivery. The price was most reasonable. These factors all added up to a perectbpurchase.

Hanson Similarity

I think gameface is a _really_ good band, and I don't know if i noticed it before hearing the new Hanson, but the vocals on this album on the Gameface tracks sounds mysteriously like Taylor from everyone's favorite teen-pop-stars Hanson. But despite that frightening coincidence, it's my one of my favorite albums, and well worth the money.

Hated It!

I think that the book is well written; I find Kraukhauer's style and organization quite good.I hated the chief character. I think that he was a spoiled brat, young and idealistic, and irresponsible. Regardless of your anger to your parents who have given you everything, you don't walk out on them, break off contact, and become a vagrant. Yes, a vagrant.While reading this book I knew my next one was "My Just War" by Gabriel Temkin. I didn't know what it was about, but I knew that it was about a Polish Jew who was in the Russian Army during WWII. I knew that it was going to be about survival.Temkin book did not let me down. It was about someone with nothing and no one who survived, prevaled and made something of his life. This was quite refreshing, compared to Into the Wild where the main character throws everything away.If you want to read about surviving during an incredible time in a terrible place, read Temkin' s book.

Genius + Gnius = GENIUS

As someone who knew The Count of Basie and had the pleasure of producing 3 Theatre in the Round Ray Charles performances in 1977, the genius of this two performers finally got together to do something that was only dreamt of. The melding of these two giants was far overdue. My only complaint is that it wasn't one hour and 49 minutes long instead of 49 minutes.The Basie Band has never sounded better especially under the driving beat of Butch Miles. I have been counting the days since I found out about this project and during the first three hours of ownership, I have lietened to it twice. Buy it, even if you only love one of them, by the time it's over you be in love with both. Cudos to Greg Field and all of those involved for this definate GRAMMY AWARD effort.Steve Grossman

just boring

This had the potential to be a good movie, but the reliance on quite a bit sophomoric, bathroom humor really brought it down. There were long stretches that were just utterly boring.

I absolutely loved the video Lord Of THe Rings and was extremely upset that Ralph Bakshi never made the second half...However, I recently saw 'The Return of the King' which is available on video from Amazon.com and it completes the story. The animation is excellent although some of the songs date it a bit... It is by the same team that made the animated classic 'The Hobbit' which is also excellent... So if like me, you were dissapointed Bakshi never finished the Lord sequel then checvk out Return of the King as it is purely based on the last Tolkien book and covers the ending pretty well...

A Must Read By All Americans

I had the wonderful pleasure of attending a lecture and book signing at the Politics and Prose Bookstore in Washington, DC. C-Span broadcasted the lecture featuring Ron Suskind. I was impressed and moved by his speech and reading this book has given me an insight as to how Mr. Bush runs our government. This book is a must read. Mr. O'Neill's credibility is beyond reproach. He has served past presidents from both sides of the aisle, has a strong working relationship with Alan Greenspan, and has a good mind as to how this country should approach fiscal responsiblity. Unfortunately he worked within an administration that seems to be more concerned with their control of power than what is best for the average American. Some may see this different and that is okay too. But this book gives us an idea of how Bush makes decisions and who really is in charge of our government. A government driven on ideaology instead of by facts. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did.

Educational and confusing at the same time

Jenner & co. have produced a very, very interesting DVD on a very, very difficult matter; and although there are examples ad lib. I miss out on the "basics of ventilation", a chapter that might turn this educational production into a "must see" for everyone in the project of constructing (or changing) a pigeon loft. I feel left back with an impression of "this just might work" - not the ABC of "how to make it work" - but perhaps this is the essence of the matter: no "one solution fits all" do exist in reality. At least any person watching this DVD will definitely be armed with a lot of inspirations and ideas.

For one, brief, shining moment, this was the cheapest 2 GB USB stick available on Amazon. Prime-eligible, low price...what's not to love? Best of all, I could use it as a USB boot drive, and thus I could use it to repair a friend's netbook. O, how she wailed when she saw me retract the foresk -- excuse me, the protective sleeve, and insert the tiny, white dingus into her formerly pristine computer. Ha ha!As for the movie, who knows. Personally, if they show a movie at MY funeral, the title had better not be "This Is It". That's a little on-the-nose for me. But if you want a USB drive with which to defile your computer, this might be a good choice.None of you are safe!

The people at Hippo Records obviously have no concept of what Judy Garland was all about! This new CD release contains the weakest moments from her exciting TV series. The only worthwhile tracks are "Here's to Us" and "Something Cool" which she recorded but did not air. That latter is actually only a partial cut, she didn't finish the recording.

A Great Compilation

If I could choose the 10 best classical albums, this would be one of them. The Boccherini is probably the best part, and sections of it were used in several movies, including Sherlock Holmes: The Case of The Silk Stocking and Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World. The quality of the recording is crystal clear, creating the most enjoyable listening experience. It finishes off with Albinoni and the fabulous Adagio in G Minor, featuring Wolfgang Meyer on the organ. All in all, it's a very nice album, and a joy to listen to.

Prophecy: What the future holds for you

It is easy to do any predictions in generalities. It leaves an attitude of "might be" or "might not be". Also the science fiction of yesterday is reality today, so look back gather up past evidence and do a modern day prediction. Why research Edgar Cayce to make predictions if one had a link to the future as she claims? Cayce did the provoking for ideal thinking and I think she is cashing in on it.

Try the J.G. Reeder stories instead

This novel by the once-famous mystery writer Edgar Wallace is fast-moving, but too cliche-ridden and predictable to be recommended. Once a certain nefarious character breaks free from custody, you'll be able to write a synopsis of the rest of the book without reading it. And here's a bit of a love scene: "He crushed her in his arms, his cheek against hers, his lips tingling with the caress of her hair." It goes on like that. "The Daffodil Mystery" is free on Kindle, but perhaps not worth every penny. (On the other hand, the short stories in Wallace's collection "The Mind of J.G. Reeder" are still quite enjoyable, if you like early twentieth-century detective fiction.)

Dissapointed

Perhaps my fault but this wasnt the actualy book set. Seems like some type of tv/radio version of the storyline.

Judy Blume can do much better than this!!!!

I am a fan of Judy Blume and believed she had a remarkable way of getting inside a character to make them real, interesting and worth the read. This book is disappointing. You don't develop any real attachment to any of the characters and by the end of the book, which is disappointing in itself, you'll be glad to be done reading.

A Living American Treasure

Jim Harrison's memoir, Off to the Side, is just as gritty, scrutinizing, and lush as his novels and novellas. Harrison's life of the mind makes excellent reading, and he doesn't seem to make any excuses for his failures or take too much credit for his successes.Harrison's work in Hollywood gave him access and interesting insight into show business during the eighties and nineties. His reflection on those times and his utter distaste for his life then is filled with witty observations and candid appraisals.His writing has always been filled an intoxicating blend of wine, food, sex, and natural history. Harrison's descriptions of his life and his process will be valuable and heartening to any aspiring writers. But more importantly, he reflection on a life lived with gusto and exuberance will be inspiring to any anybody who wants to live a life that is passionate and full of wonder.

Great "toy" with a valuable lesson.

Hoping not to be redundant I'll go to the "nuts and bolts": The chart works great with my kids. We work it like this: Every night I set it up, in the morning the kids and I go over their own board and then before bed we go over what they did during the day. I give them their coins and they put them on the board themselves. We tally their results every sunday after church, then they get the money they earned thru the week. I compliment this toy with Dave Ramsey's Junior's Adventures Bank for a complete financial lesson. The board itself is well built although one of them began warping over time.

He who is the greatest

to me this book was a interesting book it related not only to the people who wouldn't want to read the book but was told to, to get a grade and also to the people who liked short stories as well.This book had some stories for all ages and races when in certain books their content is only relating to a specific reader.

Enchanting look at a distant culture

I bought this book for review in a college Southeast Asia class. Having been a fan of Grimm's fairy tales and stories of that type, I found a lot of these retellings familiar in plot. However, the characterizations and behaviors, as well as the settings, provided a distinctively Burmese flavor to the universal stories. With a large historical and cultural overview to start it off, this book provided a good general idea of Southeast Asian culture within and easily understandable and entertaining framework.

Best Duran Duran Since Rio

Brilliant. Beautiful. Amazing. If you're reading this review, you will LOVE this album. Who would have thunk that the coolest album of 2004 would have been recorded by the original line-up of 80's poster boys Duran Duran? The sound has been updated a bit, but there is no denying that this is classic Duran Duran. Cryptic lyrics, haunting vocals, pounding bass...hot 'n bothered...raw...sexy. For comparison's sake, pit Want You More against Hungry Like The Wolf, Astronaut against The Reflex, What Happens Tomorrow against Ordinary World, and Bedroom Toys against Notorious. No filler on this album whatsoever. This album isn't just for fans, its for everyone. Duran Duran are back in style. Highest possible recommendation.

Please do not buy this book

I found this author not to my taste. The background, her use of language, the plot she weaves, the main characters, are all lacking . I read more than one book, so that I can give her a fair chance. I struggled through the first book, and gave up through the middle of the second. It simply was not worth it, despite the many recommendations she got on the romance talk board , which only shows that one should buy one book and test an author. If you are still in 2 minds after reading this please only buy one book.

pretty cute

You'll either love Barney or be so annoyed by him that you want to scream. There's not much room in-between there. Obviously, this movie is aimed at the much younger crowd. I watched it while I was baby-sitting one time, and it was cute enough. If your kids like Barney, they'll like the movie. Simple as that. Barney fans get what they want in this movie, and they won't be disappointed.

not her best

McCrumb has a tendency to toss in one completely unrealistic plot device to keep her stories moving in the way she wants them to go. In The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, it's the ridiculously non-existant guardianship of the Underhill teens. Can you say, "Ward of the state?"Also, what was with the whole thing about the Judds? Particularly since all the facts were wrong. McCrumb has Martha tell Spencer that the liver is the one organ that doesn't get better, when reality is exactly the opposite. The liver is the ONLY regenerative organ in the body. Also, what's with the talk of the hepatitis coming from bad road food? If you don't want to go into the modes of transmission of hepatitis C, don't make it a subplot. As someone with a family member with hep C, the misinformation here really annoyed me. It's horribly nitpicky to say it affected my enjoyment of the rest of the book, but I kept thinking, what other facts has she gotten completely wrong? not her best effort at all.

Dead after 3-1/2 holes

Perhaps the bit I got was defective, but I am totally disappointed in the bit I received. I'm drilling hard porcelain tiles, something the bit claims it is intended to handle. The first hole the bit went through like the proverbial hot knife through butter. By the third hole it was slow going. Less than half way through the fourth hole I quit. Upon examining the bit there are no signs of overheating and there is also nothing on the bottom cutting face except polished metal.I've ordered another one, but only because for $3.99 and Amazon Prime I can get it here next day and finish on time. But in the future I certainly won't buy Hitachi bits.And for those who might wonder, yes I did use water cooling. I've worked with tile and drilled enough holes to know how a bit should perform, and it definitely shouldn't perform like this one.

Decent TV, Terrible Customer Service - Update

The TV works fine, but the remote didn't work from day 1. I called Philips* they made me copy and fax my receipt* wait two weeks for a confirm number* package the remote and mail it back at my expense ($8).* I still don't have a remote - 2 months after purchase.Update - 6 weeks after mailing in my broken remote (that was broken when it came out of the box) - I rec'd the same broken remote mailed back to me today. I jumped through every hoop imaginable and they just mailed it back. Avoid Philips at all cost.UPDATE - After finally replacing the remote at my own cost, I enjoyed the TV for about 10 months until the video component went out. I still have audio, but no picture which kind of defeats the purpose of have a teleVISION. I called Philips and was told (like the others) that the TV is not under warranty and I could purchase a refurb unit for $299. I'll never buy from Philips again.

I really enjoyed this book. I am relatively new to "jogging" (4 years, and as James refers to it, as running) and this book, even though dated, still give lots of wonderful information.

Great colander, great value

I love this colander: it seems sturdy, and the holes are small enough that you don't need to worry about smaller pasta sliding through. I use it for pasta shells and never lose any. The legs are slightly too short so if your kitchen sink doesn't drain very fast you may have to hold the colander, instead of setting it in the sink. However, it's nice and wide so I don't have any problem holding onto it while I drain.

Just alright...

The game has fairly good cartoonish graphics for the time it was made. The voice acting is clique but serves its purpose for the game style. Plenty of war materials to get anyone happy. The biggest issue is the controls. They are hard to get use to and some what clumsy. It didn't feel natural to move and conduct basic movements and commands. After a while I got tired of it and simply put the game down. I don't any intention of ever playing it again. Just not worth the time.

*Buyers Beware*! Check your camera model before you buy this

These cards only work with Camera that supports the Write Acceleration !! otherwise the speed is no different from a 12X card. There is nothing wrong with the card in terms of capacity or quality.I have given a single star rating coz it should clearly state that the 80x speed is only possible with cameras supporting Write Acceleration !!Very Few camera support this technology and one can easily get the same capacity ( 12x ) at 1/4 the mentioned price. SO why pay more if your camera does not support this technology !!

Poor CD Sound Quality

This CD-Set was not up to snuff on sound quality. I expected a CD released in 2000 to sound much better. This set sounds like a studio rehearsal (no liner notes or any information is included). Peter Tosh provides lead vocals on several songs. I would not recommend this set, and instead would advise the $50 set (Songs of Freedom). If you seek only a single CD, buy Legend--the Best of Bob Marley. Other excellent CDs include Exodus, Kaya, Uprising, Catch a Fire, and the live CD's Babylon By Bus, and Live.

Keep looking.

I've been using this stove on occasion in my woodshop for two months now. All four corners around the firebox have already cracked. The thing would completely fall apart were it not for the four slender metal rods on each corner that are apparently the "back up" for the welding (or caulking, it seems. Yikes!).One side is now white (couldn't handle the heat?)and the stove hasn't been subjected to anything out of the ordinary. I'll be looking for a new stove next winter.

Androgynous Pop in all his raw power!

The Stooges swan song album and also the allusion to the punk sound that sprang up in the mid to late 1970s together in one album. Iggy's remixing of the tracks does make the album sound stronger and more visceral. Classic proto-punk must have!

waste of time

This movie was great if you like bad acting, predictable plots and teasing girls in revealing shirts. It reminded me of a trip I took to a strip club back in the early 90's. The girl worked me up and then left me hanging at the end. No resolution. Thank goodness I borrowed this from the library. But I will never again get those minutes back that I sat through watching this. If you like Ms. Olsen, check it out, she's kinda cute and built, otherwise, go with a better movie.

Could be a lot better

Eva Cassidy had a nice voice. But, you know what? So do a lot of female vocalists. There is nothing out of the ordinary here. I hear women in church choirs all the time that sing as well or better, with far more range.The bottom line for me is whether music is interesting and pleasant to listen to. This album just drags. I have very eclectic tastes in music, ranging from opera to jazz to soul to blues to rock. I'll listen to anything good. This doesn't qualify, in my opinion. Compare her to someone like Billy Holiday and see the difference.Now, you can mindlessly listen to all the hype about Eva Cassidy or you can think for yourself. It's chic to listen to her and say you like her. Certainly give it a try. Do yourself a favor and take the album out of the library or borrow it from somebody who has it first. There's a good chance you won't like it, as long as you listen to it with an open mind and aren't brainwashed by the hype.

Camera broken twice

I've had this camera for maybe 18 months. It broke once-- pictures hopelessly blurry, NOT user error-- and HP sent me a new one. The second one is now broken-- the lens is retracted and won't extend-- and now I'm stuck because it's out of warranty and HP won't even repair it at my expense. When it did work, it sucked batteries like crazy. Do yourself a favor and find another brand.

Queen on the upswing

After 1977's "News Of The World", there wasn't a Queen album that I really, thoroughly enjoyed. The ones since then had their high points, but "News Of The World" was the last one I really enjoyed. "A Kind Of Magic" is, for me, the beginning of Queen on the upswing -- this album, and the ones after it, are much better (IMHO) than the albums they released after 1977.Ironically, the first time I heard "A Kind Of Magic", I didn't like it. At all. But after listening to it a bit I gained an appreciation for it, and now consider it to be one of their better albums. It's not quite up there with most of their 70's material, but it's a step in the right direction and a good piece of work. Followed by "The Miracle", the superb "Innuendo", and "Made In Heaven".

Investment Boner?

As a BMW motorcyclist and long-distance touring afficionado, I found the book diverting as a travelogue. However, it became annoying as a the author's self promotion, not only professionally but personally, began to intrude. Mr. Rogers siezed every opportunity to remind us that his travelling companion, Ms. Estabrook, was not merely a platonic friend. This apparently needed to be alluded to often, as she had thoughtfully prepared for the journey by actually taking motorcycle repair classes, and would probably otherwise have been mistaken for a mechanic rather than a tootsie. By way of example, he helpfully lists "birth control pills" rather than the boringly generic "prescription medications" in his travelers' packing checklist appendix. If Viagra had been available at the time, one wonders if it would have merited special mention as well?

poor quality; works intermittently - NOT HEAVY DUTY

The only "heavy" thing about these timers is the weight -- not the performance. One of the two timers works with relative regularity (interesting that regularity is relative for a clock of sorts). The other quickly gets off time and does not turn on/off as a function of the little pins it is constructed to respond to. I would STRONGLY recommend buying a different product.

Two Thumbs Down

Our Book Group read this book based on the positive reviews posted on Amazon.com. What a disappointment it turned out to be for us. We found the protagonist, Annie, to be a weak, self-indulgent and immature character. None of us felt sympathy or empathy towards Annie or her unrequited lover, Andrew. The best thing the book had going for it was the description of St. Andrews. We unanimously gave it Two Thumbs Down.

Excellent!

The final chapter of this book might be the most important thing you will ever read on the believer's ground of assurance. Certain knowledge of one's salvation (justification) is to be based solely in the promise of God and NEVER in good works. This is just as Calvin taught who said in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, "If men begin to judge whether they are regenerate by good works nothing will ever be more uncertain or more evil' (and) 'If works be judged by themselves by their imperfection they will no less declare God's wrath than by their incomplete purity will testify to his benevolence' (and) 'When a Christian looks to himself he can only have grounds for anxiety, indeed despair' (and) 'We should not seek assurance by conjecture, for faith corresponds to a simple and free promise, hence no place for doubting is left!'"

While no one can fault Giuliano for his research on the Beatles, this one should have remained in the dark! He has absolutely NO sense of production and the crew he assembled to shoot and edit this mess doesn't seem to have a clue on any level! When you hear someone talking about Yoko Ono, you see footage of Paul.. and that sort of "presentation" runs through the entire DVD!Sound levels are awful and Giuliano brings absolutely nothing to the screen when he wanders around Liverpool, pontificating ad nauseum.About the ONLY redeeming element in this mess is the segment of Pete Best.. and even that is obviously shot on home video and bumped down several generations at that.Wait for the Beatles Anthology on DVD -- THAT will be worth the wait and the money!

I ordered this because I needed something to keep my refrigerated medicine in my bathroom. I was tired of treking to the kitchen to get it. It holds 2 bottles of supplements, a tube of salve and 4 pre-filled syringes without the packaging. I could wish it were a little larger but I wanted something small. I like the fact that you can run it on ac or dc and that there is a cord for plugging it in to the cigarette lighter in the car. All in all, nice cooler.

William Hung may not be the best singer, but he knows this. So all you people saying "he actually thinks hes the best new thing" are wrong.He may look "mildly retarded" to you, but he's out there in front of everyone giving his all, while you all criticizing him are sitting in a veil of anonymity. He may have severe luck, but he's also got every quality a good entertainer should have; except for a voice.It seems more of you are here to ridicule, rather than review.

Not as described in instructions

I just rec'd a pair of 28" Silblades. The cost was over $40 and unless I want to throw them in the trash, I have to put them on the drill press to drill some holes so that they will fit. The directions show TWO holes drilled in the blade so that they can be used with BOTH 1/4" and 3?16" pins. The blades I rec'd DO NOT have any holes drilled. I am sure that drilling the holes will void my warranty but I have no choice, other than to throw them away.

poor sounds, not loud enough

The volume doesn't get loud enough to drown out any outside noise. Also, the sounds fluctuate way to much, going from soft to kind of loud back to soft again. This won't keep my daughter asleep if an outside noise (phone, dog barking, etc.) happens during the soft cycle. The rain sound is pretty constant, but still not loud enough. I ended up returning the machine and downloading an mp3 of white noise that sounds more like a constant static. I made lots of copies and put them on my iPod and run that in her room now. It works great and I can really crank the volume up if I need to.
