Poor quality materials.
|
I really find these headphones comfortable and inexpensive. I'm not an audiophile but for me, the sound is fine for both audiobooks or music. The problem is the rubber coating surrounding the wires of these headphones are so sub par they tore and then began to disintegrate within a month.

Outrageous shipping charges!
|
I won't buy this tub because they are trying to charge $21 for shipping. The item itself is only $24.99. You can order larger and heavier items with less shipping charges. Did all of you actual pay that ridiculous amount???

Funny, fun, witty, well done

I saw this film at it's premier at Cinequest film festival in San Jose. In its presentation I thought it was akin to "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist". The 3 main actors did a very good job, the script was well-paced, the story fun and engaging. The sound track was also good, if memory serves me right. We had the privilege of getting all three actors, the director and the writer on stage afterward. The most astonishing things are that this was (1) the first feature length film for all 3 actors, (2) the first feature length film for the director, (3) the first film for the script writer, and (4) it was filmed in 10 or 11 days! Keep these facts in mind when you see - it will add to your appreciation.

FUN and Insightful
|
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It helped me to understand my intuition and psychic ability better. She has a nice and light way of talking about it that was refreshing. And helped me understand both spiritual and down to earth things that were useful to me.Another great new book I just read is Working On Yourself Doesn't Work by Ariel & Shya Kane. The book is about Personal Growth and Happiness. I.E. Having It All! But the authors are very amazing people - the most loving couple I have ever met - I did a seminar with them about INTUITION and Amazing Psychic experiences happened for me and everyone in the class. The Book is very fun and easy to read - but very profound insights too. I loved it...

Awful book
|
It's a paranoid far right winger's wet dream.I'm interested in survivalism for the fun of it, but weigh the actual odds of the end of the world realistically. This book is just painfully silly. I'm more conservative than liberal, but the books political agenda was still astounding.The information the book contains is unorganized, mediocre, and the editing of the book is godawful.Plus just silly stupid stuff like one of them holding off a battalion of evil European (I know right) enemy infantrymen by himself and dying heroically...yeah, sure.

response to Matt Atkinson..is this book useful for teens?
|
As the author of the book and a parent of teens, I can confidently tell you that teens DO read the book and benefit from it. Several teens (one boy and one girl) ended relationships which they discovered to be controlling after reading parts of it. Therapists who work with teens at my agency use it all of the time and cannot keep the book in stock.I would advise directing them to certain sections...particularly examples of warning signs as those sections resonate. I hope that this helps.

Did anyone catch the grammatical errors that infected this book? Or just me? I was shocked to see page after page with so many errors. Did no one proofread this "work" before turning it in to the printer? I am just curious. Story line was a waste of text. Characters were unbelievable.

Disappointed
|
I was debating whether to get the Crossman Phantom or the Ruger Blackhawks. I started by choosing the former. Delivery was quick but I was disappointed to find the gun felt like a bit of a toy - much like a lower power version I had as a kid. Worst of all, the front sight was on crooked and the gun was basically impossible to aim. I called Amazon and they sent me a UPS label to return the gun and gave me a full refund - the most impressive aspect of the whole transaction. I bought the Ruger instead and will review it when I have had a chance to use it a bit. So far I seems like a better product for a comparable price.

third one is the charm
|
I am not a fan of the pirates series. I saw the first two and they just didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The third movie on the other hand is the best one out of the three. The movie is action packed from beginning to end, keeps the original cast (good chemistry/acting), and similar to the previous two movies has some good humor in it. I guess the third movie in my opinion had a more interesting story than the first two. Another good thing is it is a movie that all ages can enjoy. The only complaint I would have about the movie is it is really long. Other than that, at world's end is a great ending to the series.

Tremendous Pacing....
|
Easily one of the top true crime books I have ever read. Corwin has an eye for detail but doesn't get bogged down in minutia or wordiness. The pacing of the investigations lead to many, "ok, I'll read one more chapter then quit" episodes. The detectives' sense of humor and dark view of the underbelly of society is genuine and genuinely funny. Even the best fiction does not grab my attention like Corwin did. This work is on par with David Simon's "Homicide." Simply put, a must read.

Sunshine Doesn't Make Me Happy

Sunshine starts out with a lot of promise...interesting cast, great spfx...but soon devolves into a pointless thriller. I couldn't even finish it I was so bored. No wonder this mess was shuffled into and out of theaters in, like, one week. Shame on you, Danny Boyle. You can do better than this.

Scam...
|
The previous review is right on. The packaging and the wording on it is deceptive. Furthermore, both the package and their web page indicate that the software is enhanced with photos...there is not one photo or so much as an illustration on on the entire cd. In fact when you buy a cd you assume that there is approximately 700Mb of information on it. Fact is, this program and all of its "readme" and help files consists of just under 9Mb of data. If you should see this program at a flea market or garage sale for a quarter...save your quarter for a gumball machine where you get something for your money.

Very touching
|
This personal account of the holocaust by Elie Wiesel's book is a horrifying story of the Nazi death camps. The author tells the story in a simple manner, yet it is easy for a reader to end up feeling haunted by the accounts in NIGHT. It stirs sadness and profound questions in the bosom of a reader. The lessons from this book about the evil side of fallen human nature and the faith, courage and moral strength to fight the evil must never be forgotten. I recommend this book to any reader interested in the holocaust and the specter of mass killings plaguing the world today.Survival In Auschwitz, Disciples of Fortune, Triple Agent Double, Anatomy of a Nightmare,The Gulag Archipelago are also recommended reads to help have a better understanding of threat humanity faces from the evil ideologies of hate.

The man is brilliant, but so difficult to get through. I would suggest having a handy reference section nearby. He has a beautiful way with words. The current volume is one long poem, divided into sections (in a similar way to "The Triumph of Love").Hill will definitely become more widely appreciated as time wears on...

A Tiny Book That Speaks Volumes!
|
I'll be honest with you. I am not a huge fan of Wayne Dyer as an author. As an intelligent man with great wisdom to share, yes. But as a writer? No. That is, until now. Although 10 Secrets is a short book, it speaks volumes. It makes powerful points that are as practical as they are spiritual. It is succinct, focused, and never repetitive. Unlike many of his other books, Dr. Dyer even uses the word "God" freely and frequently in 10 Secrets. And that's fine in my book (literally!). Even though I don't completely buy into every single "secret" that Dr. Dyer shares in this little book, I got a great deal out of it. I highly recommend this small but mighty work.Steven Lane Taylor, author of Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow

Greasy and Disgusting!
|
I was so excited to receive these bars as I had tried other flavors before and absolutely loved them! When I received this item, I noticed the outer box which contained the bars looked a bit "greasy." I opened the wrapper to a greasy, oily bar, and was immediately hit with the pungent smell of what could only be described as old coconut scented sunblock. Disgusting!! My husband who is adventurous, decided to give the bar a try...he spit it right out, and ran to rinse his mouth out! He said it stung his mouth and tasted acidic and rancid! The bars we recieved had an expiration date of 12/12, which is far from accurate, if I could give negative stars I absolutely would!!!

Damn, this is a scary movie!

We've all had a bad day and we're all glad when it's over. We can sit down on our couch or get in bed and relax, safe in the knowledge that tomorrow has to be better. Well not for the main character of Bleed With Me. Her bad day get's so much worse than she could even imagine.After a long day filled with annoying family and loud clients, Laurie just wants to get in a cab and go home. But after a while, she realizes that the cab driver is taking her far away from her home. And it just gets worse from there.I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I can see why this film has been getting rave reviews. It's hardcore to be sure, filled with frightening imagery and some gruesome death and destruction, but it's an amazing film and one that you shouldn't miss.

had high hopes
|
Ms.Hamilton did a great job of grabbing and holding my attention, especially at the beginning, but, ultimately, I was disappointed. The trial scenes were well-written, but predictable, as was the relationship between Howard and Theresa. I felt like the novel's main work needed to be the impact of Lizzie's death on the main characters, but all was interrupted by the jail stay and trial. Each issue, child death and child sexual abuse deserves a novel all of its own. But I felt neither was adequately dealt with because the other was always in the way, demanding the reader's attention.

Why is this happening to ME, Me me me me, I must find out what it means to ME. Maybe there's a God but it's all about Me. I need to listen to other spiritualists but it's ME. Girlfriend, why aren't you paying attention to ME.My god. What a selfish prick.At one point the guy says he's turned away from his upbringing in Christianity. I could see why. At it's true core Christianity is about accepting the fact there's someone or something greater than YOU out there. Followed by the idea that you should love and help others.All this documentary does is follow a guy's self-interest quest. Assuming it's even true which I doubt, but even if it is, the dude has a lot to learn.

I have chinch bugs eating my St Augustine floratam grass (Ft Myers, Fl). I used that product to prevent them, and treat them with no success at all. I used a professional grade spreader to distribute the product evenly on my yard (2 pounds per 1000 sqf).I still have chinch bugs. I am switching to another product such as TALSTAR.Chinch bugs are known to be very resistant to most pesticides used even DDT.

A little slow-but it sure picks up!
|
I read many novels, many of them classics in under a week. This one took me a MONTH! I found the beginning to be extremely slow, but the book did pick up in the end. I can't really decide whether or not I liked Fanny, but she did need a little self-confidence. Edmund seemed a little too good to be true, and Aunt Norris was a total witch. I had a hard time believing the character relationships in this book as they seemed impossible because the people were HORRIBLE to eachother. Also, Uncle Bertram seemed to have a complete reformation that was a little unbelievable. I dragged through this book until it picked up at the end. I was sad to see it end, and I think Austen could have devoted more than 2 pages to Fanny and Edmund's romance at the end because it took so long to happen, though who am I to be a critic, I could never write anything close to Jane Austen! Read this book for the ending, but don't expect it be a fast read!

Not worth stealing.
|
I can sit through most movies just for the sake of watching something new. This one had me nodding off in record time, and altogether dismissing it before I was halfway through. This movie won't be what you expect, regardless of what you're looking for. Visually striking and very pretty, but the action was just not believable and the acting was horrible. I can't imagine who would rate this tripe five stars. I'll give them one star for the creative font on the movie title.The main character should've hit the gym, special effects can only do so much. I can believe most things for the sake of immersion and entertainment, but her struggling to get off the ground (uninjured) kinda ruins the flying through the air and dodging bullets parts.

It could be worse... but it could be a LOT better

To me a vacuum is a pretty simple proposition; you want it to clean the carpet and the floor. Unfortunately, this unit is mediocre at best. I just finished cleaning my home office (hardwood floors with an area rug). I could literally see the vacuum missing small little pieces of debris - even after going over the area two or three times.It's a shame, but for the money - go elsewhere!

Over-produced fluff
|
The same words keep coming to mind when thinking of this band: overinflated, self-indulgent and ridiculous. For the life of me, I don't know why these guys are so popular with their crunch-crunch sound and neo-religious imagery. They are like a neutered version of STP or Pearl Jam back in the early to mid 90's when their songs were top 40. I urge you all to forget this band and discover the joys of subtlety and true songwriting.

Close, but no cigar

Well, it ain't Catch-22, and for all the talk about how this is a work in its own right and how such comparisons are unfair, more Catch-22 is what you're hoping for when you buy this book. And that's not what you get. What you get are moments of grim amusement and boredom. The book is at its best only when its dealing with new characters that never appeared in Catch-22. The absurd sections fall flat, and the sections that are supposed to be hilarious are tired and seem like pale shadows of the ideas of Catch-22. The book works best, strangely, when its being realistic, but Heller seems scared to write the whole thing that way. Too bad. The sections dealing with Lew, his best friend, his wife, and the fire bombing of Dresden are the most effective and touching -- and add up to about 50 pages total.

lack of quality
|
If you are looking for a Barbie house that is durable, I would strongly advise you to check out another house. This house is very flimsy, cheaply made and not worth the money. It comes with extremely small pieces. It is very hard to operate for small hands (larger hands also). If you are like me you spend a lot of money with Barbie, this certainly does not deserve a penny. Barbie does offer another 3 decker house, very sturdy, very well built and a much better choice.

Kind of a disappointment
|
I was really kind of disappointed in this book. I was a little leary of the title because I tried to crack Flash on my own and it didn't seem like program you could master that quickly. So many good reviews on this book, I thought it would have to be pretty good and comprehensive. This book doesn't cover the subject with the depth you'd expect since its so thick. I bought the Visualy Quick Start Flash and the Flash Bible at the same time. The 24 hour book I returned. It didn't measure up to either of the other two books both f which I would highly recommend.

This camera is great and very easy to use. Digital cameras can be complicated to use, but I still like the 35mm best. The camera lense was not exactly as pictured. The lense was not 35 to 80, but was 35 to 70. It was not silver and black, but was all black. This does not affect the pictures, but was a bit misleading. Takes great pictures.

One big flaw, baby has no where to rest his head
|
I bought and returned this right away because I have an old version of an evenflo frame carrier that is all plastic and very light and has a nice padded bumper for baby to rest his head if it lolls forward or to the sides. This model has no bumper and so when baby falls asleep he doesn't look comfortable. Otherwise big draws include supportive waist strap and canopy. Under 8 lbs is ok, but under 6 lbs would be a winner.

THe worst book I ever read - SHallow
|
For a romance novel, this is the worst book I have ever read. The story and/or plot is completely missing. The main characters, Kit and Angela, have no character at all. Rather the story revolves around the two of them vying for the distinction of who has had the most sex partners in the past, and whether their sex together is better than that which they had with other partners. THe book should be classified as pornographic.

I purchased this item about 2 1/2 years ago. I have the old NON video20 gb IPOD. This item worked PERFECTLY for me for 2 1/2 years. I have had some VERY long flighs (back to back 11 hour flights) and it allowed me to use my IPOD for hours. The ITURBO finally quit working. I will replace it as we travel quite a bit and it extends the IPOD life very nicely. I also can get a full charge from my rechargeable AA batteries. Sometimes the rechargeable batteries are a rather tight fit, but I have always been able to insert them and remove them successfully, but sometimes with a little bit of work.

As an English tutor for the SAT, I find this book to be a great addition to my students' preparation for the exam. With definitions at the bottom of each page, students can read the story, try to determine the bolded SAT word by way of context clues, and then simply check if they are correct without having to thumb to the back of the book for a glossary of definitions. A must for high school students who are prepping for the standardized exams!

Disappointment

Wow, what a disappointment. I bought this set for my son, and not knowing what "1/35" really meant when it came to size, I opened the box to find these teeny tiny pieces of plastic. The picture used for this item seems so elaborate. I had the impression that these pieces were the size of 'action figures' sold in the store -- perhaps the size to be held between thumb and index finger.There was no glue, nor paint included in the box. I am sure this was disclosed somewhere in the description online, but I did not see it when I ordered this set.Probably why the price was so low.What a shame. I probably will not even give this to my son after all. He cannot even play with the set as is, since the arms, legs, torsos, etc. are all in pieces.

And women are worried about men when there are terrible books like this around...written by women?!Also: surely these whorish writers are being paid for "product placement" - the books are littered with brand names which by the way will make them seem very dated in a NY minute.Born in 1979 in NYC, the author has a B.A. from Vassar. Depressing.Reading the reviews was equally depressing. Maybe they were written by friends of the author or her family?Ouch, ouch, ouch. I have less and less hope for humanity.

He tenido el honor de sentarse en clase del Dr. Younkin mientras que discutimos capitalismo y comercio como se dice "socratically." En detalle, recuerdo una clase donde tuve que presentar en el capítulo en "justicia" y yo cínicamente me trajimos a todos los libros (filosófico, económico, político, legal, etc) esos habíamos adquirido sobre mis cuatro años hasta el momento en rodar Wheeling Jesuit para ilustrar cuánto más fácil sería apenas leer el libro del Dr. Younkin. Más importantemente, el libro agarra los conceptos generales de la economía política contemporánea mientras que incorporar las ideologías de los otros "grandes pensadores políticos" de las épocas idas por el calibre "obra maestra" del Dr. Younkins y está parado a distancia con los muchos intelectuales en la aplicación el capitalismo. "Kudos" al autor para una adaptación bien-escrita, simplificada en la economía libre.

Celtic CD
|
I purchased this CD for my daughter to review the music and choose Celtic songs for her wedding. She loves the music and is enchanted with Celtic music. The Cd was delivered in a timely manner and is of excellent quality.

Great Emergency Tool!
|
Having just survived Hurricane Sandy without a radio, as soon as I had power I got this excellent machine. The antenna stretches very long bringing in far away reception. This is a MUST for any and everyone. Remember, iPhones and the internet need power. Plus, wifi and 4G goes down when something bad hits. This works no matter what and has excellent battery life. And the price is unbeatable!

Beautiful Bikes
|
I have been into Indian motorcycles since I was a kid. One of the lucky ones-my dad held on to his. I have run into so many people like the person selling this book @$450. Whatever happened to trying to keep the spirit alive? These old bikes are becoming fewer and fewer. We should work together to preserve the declining number. I would like to know who this person is and black list them from all Antique motorcycle clubs and events!

yamaha alto recorder
|
I had an old dolmetsch recorder, which I misplaced, so I ordered the yamaha. It sounded tinny and difficult to play compared with the dolmetsch, which fortunately, I found.

Great instruction
|
I really have come to rely on this book to quickly and easily apply basic techniques to the Canon EOS 40D. My camera has ALOT of ability and can become overwhelming. This book has been a Godsend to keep things simple and in perspective while learning the camera.

Fragile and easily scratched.
|
I bought this watch because I needed a stopwatch and timer features when I run. It's not terribly attractive, and looks cheaper than I expected, but it's just for when I run. I bumped it against the wall and scratched the face so badly it became hard to read, even though i bumped it pretty lightly against a plaster wall. I would have understood if it had been concrete or a hard impact, but no. Last week the band just came apart while I was standing in line for the ATM. This watch is not worth a new band, nor even the money I paid for it far less than a year ago. I have several watches so none gets worn every day, and I've had $8 watches from Target last much longer. This watch is garbage and I probably won't buy another Casio, ever.

I just finished reading Dear John last night and I was so drained by the end. It was a great book that lit so many emotions. I now have read two of Sparks' books which inclued The Last Song. I loved the way Dear John was written and I felt as if I was a part of the story which lends to an excellent author! I was so upset with the ending though. I guess all romances don't end in happiness. But, here John learns so many lessons. I would love to see a Dear John, The Sequel. I want to see Savannah with John and a happy ending for both. She still loved him and he still loved her and to complete all the emotions that Sparks' takes his reader through I feel he should publish another Dear John book part 2 with twists and turns but a happy, fulfilling ending. "Sigh", I'm so drained from this novel! I want to see them together!

Like being a fly on the wall overhearing genius at work
|
Maybe it's just me, but since I am a creative person I like to understand other people's creative processes and this box set is exactly that clue to what was going on in the mind and behind the scenes of Nirvana. It's almost like a diary. The songs are obviously embryonic, but that's the beauty of the box set, I think. It's not the over-packaged, over-worked, over-polished music that is usually released on CD. It's simplicity is a beautiful thing. Ever wonder what goes on at a practice or recording session? There are clues here as Nirvana just lets loose and plays for the love of the art in some of the improvs.

Beautiful and affordable

I purchased several different sarongs from this Seller and found each one to be very unique and of good quality and size for the price. I used each sarong in costumes I needed to design and when one can buy a piece that exactly fits your needs, it saves a great deal of time and effort. Extremely good buy, in my opinion.Gail StrumbergerAuthor "Shock Therapy: Planaphobic"

Excellent Source

This is a detailed, concise guide to CFS. Very useful in explaining all of the symptoms, and includes both pharmaceutical and herbal treatments. If you believe you are suffering from chronic fatigue, this book will answer the questions you have.

Excellent Read!! Don't Miss It!!
|
This book is a delightful read. Alison Pace takes the reader on a tour of the glamorous (or not so glamorous!) art world thorugh some of the best cities in the world. From New York to London to Rome to Santa Fe you will be laughing out loud and routing for Jane Laine. I hope the author is busy writing another book as she is a star in the making! So witty and so funny. I highly recommend this book!

You don't have to agree with Prager...
|
...to learn from him!Crack open this book, but don't forget to bring your mind along for the trip. Prager will have you revisiting values you thought you were sure of, and leave you, if a little less confident, perhaps a little more wise than you were when you began.

Riveting! Reads like a true crime thriller!
|
Fast paced book. Though I have no connection to finance, I was intrigued by the story on the back cover and began reading. It's incredible that this is a true life story. The only dry part was at the end with the criminal trials and some of the finance was hard to follow but I just skipped over the technical mumbojumbo. This guy is innocent.

Great for the family

My son loved this book on tape the most. He liked the fact that the characters were read by different people. It is cute and lively just like Anne (with and "e") Shirley.

Classsic Williams
|
This score comes in the middle of a period which saw some of Williams' finest scores come to fruition, starting in 1981 with the first Indiana Jones soundtrack, peaking in 1991-2 with the utterly fantastic scores for Hook and Jurassic Park, and ending with the much-feted score for Schindler's List in 1993. The score is excellent, with superb themes in 'Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra', and 'Keeper of the Grail', amongst others. Another test of how good a score is can be seen by how much it is imitated, and there is a large amount of influence from this score from the (similarly excellent) soundtrack for Medal of Honor and Medal of Honor Underground by Michael Giacchino, both of which I recommend buying to complement this score.

Excellent Footage for A.P. History
|
This volume contains six separate, short films produced by the FDR administration. The highlights of the films are indepth views of the WPA and the origins of Social Security. Also key is the footage of the 1937 Ohio-Mississippi River flood around Louisville.

Not a new book!!
|
I was so very disappointed to receive this, only to find that it is only a collection of the first 3 books in the series!I love this series, and I was so happy to see a new title that I ordered this as soon as it came out. I should have waited for a review to see what was really happening. I'll do that with the Brightwell books from now on.Other authors publish collections, but you always know from the titles that they are collections. I was tricked into thinking this was a new story because of the title.Don't order this book unless you really want the collection of her first 3 books! I'd give 0 stars if I could - because of the misleading title.

too much pedal
|
I read the review of this CD in the NY Times and finally looked it up on Amazon. I have no interest or knowledge of Radiohead but this seems like an endless stream of "romantic/ new age clichés. The samples were enough for me and I 'm grateful I didn't have to waste my money on the Cd. With all the great piano music written on the last - 60 or so years post Romanticism this is hardly a step forward. He may have great finger technique but his pedalling make everything sound the same-a syrupy, blurry mess.

Excellent!

I read this book in 4 days...a definite page-turner! Lamb's writing is extraordinary and the story...the story is facinating! Never a slow or dull moment in all 900 and some-odd pages! That, to me, is amazing. You will come to care about the characters very early in the novel. This is a must read!

I like Kenny. His songs are good, but the videos on CMT are very racy. This CD is the only one of his I own but I really enjoy it.

A whiny and self-absorbed memoir
|
It may have been therapeutic for the author to revisit the emotional insecurites of her childhood, but it's no fun for the reader. I read this book to learn about her experiences as a white girl growing up in Africa, but this is not a book about Africa. It is a book about a whiny and self-absorbed person who is STILL agonizing over not being elected the princess of the Valentine's Dance in middle school. The person I feel sorriest for is her mother, who comes in for criticism for her emotional distance, when all the evidence offered by the author suggests that her mother was a loving and caring parent, albeit with a career of her own.The same week I read this I also read Zenzele. Read that one and give this a miss.
