0	Casssini not available	Very good product, excellent aroma, but after my order was received and paid for they came back and said it was not available, very frustrating.	negative
0	a knitter in colorado	At first, I was excited to find a knitting book with easy, modern designs. Then, once I made my first project, I realized her sizing was on the small side, even a large was too small, and I'm mot a large person.The smaller projects in the book are nice for gifts, but I would skip the sweaters. Also, many of the projects would be better suited to circular knitting. Know one wants to seam a hat that can be knit in a circle to begin with!Her directions are vague at times, and her finishing techniques don't really give a professional look. I find it hard to believe she finishes her own garments this way.	negative
0	just ok	I may be in the minority here, but I thought this book was somewhat boring. The characters were stiff and two dimensional, and the dialogue was slow and hard to believe. At times the plot did rise to the occasion distracting me from the lame dialogue, but I must say that overall I was pretty disappointed. Take this for what it's worth. I would recomend it only if you have nothing better waiting unread on your bookshelf.	negative
0	Eek! How Boring!	I have many books covering the making of movies and I have quite a few Art of Books. This has to be one of the most boring I have seen.The book primarily focus on the concept art that made the cut( rather than the art that didn't, like in the Art of Star Wars series) which leaves you feeling a little empty. Why see the final product when you can buy one of the Official movie books with stunning colour pictures?Pencil drawings, final clay models, and costume designs make up the majority of this book. However, again, it is only the final designs that make the cut.Take my advice and put the money into the Art of Attack of the Clones; much more exciting and better value for money.	negative
0	Not very good, at all.	There's maybe one or two decent stories, otherwise, the rest are pretty much garbage. The animation is poor and some of the stories are forgettable and goofy. I know one is meant to be as a joke, but it's a waste of space. It should've been on the extras or bonus material, instead of mixed in with the rest. Overall, I was looking for something that would add to the Halo Universe or just bring some new life to Halo. This did neither. I gave it two stars for the two introduction episodes and the last one. And even those weren't THAT great.	negative
1	A Diamond in the Rough!!!	I loved this Movie ..I connected on some level to the Love of my life in my younger days and I could feel the wonderful vunerability of being in Love at such a irresponsible age ,when nothing was of consequence except your feelings for that person and her feelings for you ...nobody else mattered ...Life was so simple then ...no complications ...and then we Grow up(Mature) and we are told what we should look for in a Lifetime partner !!!..But these two Beautiful individuals in this movie make we believe that I was not wrong in how I felt twenty years ago ..and maybe there is still hope that I find my True love and feel the Passion all over again ...all the cast give superb performances...Enjoy ..	positive
0	Too Fast for Me	The tempo of this performance is so quick it is stressful to listen to. I have another performance, done at a slower pace, that I love.	negative
0	Disappointing	I love the look of this boot and it was comfortable but whatever material it's made of cracks with your movement so the boot had cracks all over it after minimal wears.	negative
0	game projector dissapointing	At first when I got this to play my x-box on, I thought it would be very neet. But it wasn't. It had horrible pixels and showd lots of grain. It also was not bright at all. It was just dull and you could not see words very well at all. Therefor I was not able to understand what was going on in my game. The fan is another big issu because it was so loud. It's very hard to enjoy the movie you're watching or the game you're playing. After all I was very dissapointed and advise you that this product is aful!	negative
1	Just fine	This is not a very pricey car seat but I think it's just fine. We have bought more expensive and presumeably safer cars seats, but with twins and the need to have 4 seats, I got this one because it was lightweight and could be used more for in and out of my husband's car and family members that might take the babies. God forbid we should ever be in an accident and have to really test them out, but they seem safe and sturdy enough for older babies.	positive
1	Great concept	I like the fact that I don't have to dispose and clean everytime I use an espresso machine. I previously had a Briel Apollo, but the espresso that came out of it did not taste as good, not to mention that I have tamper down and discard the grounds which became quite messy. With Capresso, I never have to tamper and see the grounds until the discard tray fills up. The crema is excellent. My only complaint is that you are only allowed two scoops of grounds. If you want to make a big cup of coffee crema, it becomes too weak as more water passes through. I love STRONG crema (but somehow don't like espresso), so in order to fill up a cup, I keep having to discard and add more grounds, which is no big deal since it discards easily. Just more wasted grounds.	positive
0	Pure Crap	This is one of the worst things I've read in a long, long time. The characters are one dimensional (if that), the plot contrived, the writing style amateurish (Whitcomb's idea of describing a person, for example, is to simply 'name drop' a string of designer labels - and he does this over and over).The conclusion, which because the book ended is what I must call it, felt like the end of a really bad comic book, and does nothing more than set the stage for what I must suppose is a whole series of 'superhero spy' books.I'll pass, thanks. Fool me once ...	negative
1	my favority tea	this is my daily tea. it's not bitter at all if you use water that is just steaming no need to boil. tastier than green tea and just as good for you.	positive
1	You'll get value for your money!	This timepiece is very good looking, and even though I've just been owner of it a few weeks, it has been object for a lot attention and comments already. It keeps time (It takes 3-4 seconds a day) pretty well and fits good for small wrists. My only complains is regarding the relatively loud sound of the second hand. This is not a problem and you won't notice that if you aren't listening for it.Great value for a affordable price!	positive
0	Total Flop	I'm 43 and these strips have been around for some time now. Over the years, I have tried these strips and was left disappointed. I'd stop then years later try again, hoping the product had been improved. Each time, I came away with the same result, disappointment.I have pretty oily skin and get acne in my nose and it enlarges my pores. I got these strips again a few weeks ago, again, hoping they'd improved. But they didn't. These strips cost $8 for 14 strips.I used an entire box and each time I used one of the strips, it didn't work. The instructions say leave on your nose for about 15 minutes, which I do. When I remove them, the strip is clean and fails to serve its purpose. I think its safe to say, I'd never buy or use these strips ever again. Sorry Biore', for me, these strips were a flop.	negative
0	Transfer Belt Error - avoid this printer	After about 5 weeks of light use the printer had a paper jam, and subsequently is stuck with a "transfer belt error" and won't operate. Samsung sent us two replacement belts, neither of which worked. We've been without a printer for several weeks. Now we're just trying to just get either a replacement or refund, which has proven difficult so far.	negative
1	Great LED lighting system!	I originally purchased 3 of these in white over a year ago and they are still working great! I set the blue ones up this past weekend and they look spectacular! The beam of light is softer under water but it mimics natural beams of moonlight. They work well to illuminate the bottom of my 75 gallon freshwater aquarium so I can observe my nocturnal fish. I also have a 4"+ red eared slider turtle in the tank and he tried to pick apart the lights and they stood up to him! So they are quite tough.	positive
1	Turning Green Wood, by Michael O'Donnell	An excellent instructional vehicle for the newcomer or the moderately-skilled wood turner. Clear, understandable writing, supported by fine photography and sketches, with good explanation, and, as a bonus, good "homey" advice. Bought two copies, one, so I could return a borrowed copy, and one to give as a gift.	positive
0	Very confusing -- didnt even cover the basics!	this review concerns the edition that did not discuss libertarianism.. that would be a welcome additionI give this two stars because there WERE parts of the book that were factual, interesting, and important. However, I found the entire book as a whole to be sloppy, confusing, and poorly written. For example, throughout the entire book, I was waiting to see a simple definition of socialism, or for a distinct difference between socialism and communism. However, not only does the author never do this, but he confuses the reader more and more by talking for dozens of pages on MARX in the SOCIALIST chapter, when Marx wrote the COMMUNIST manifesto!?! Does he explain the links or relationships between the two? Never. I was surprisingly disappointed in this book, as I would be very interested in a thorough, succinct, clear analysis of these philosophies.	negative
0	You sent low end (wrong) item	I ordered lamp AND APPLIANCE TIMER, AN UPGRADE FROM THE lamp timer (NOT FOR APPLIANCES ALSO) YOU SENT. You should have enought experience to be able to send what you show/advertise.	negative
0	What Happened to Poor Mr. Crispin?	I recently re-discovered Edmund Crispin and downloaded four of his works. They were all good reads: crisp, clever and to the point. This one was so bad I deleted it after a couple of chapters. It's arch and pretentious. The characters are tediously eccentric and wholly unbelievable. There's a repulsive sub-plot about cruelty to animals.It was a most unfortunate end to an admirable writing career.	negative
1	brillant post-rock	after a plesant listening of "millions now living must never die" ,i expected a lot from tortoise.hopefully, TNT doesn't let me down.compared to mogwai,i think the music of tortoise has more textures&variety,& their creativity seems endless .though i prefer mogwai better.	positive
0	Worst book I have ever bought	The idea for the book is great. A quick skim through in the book store had me thinking this was the book I was looking for. When you actually start to read the various entries you will quickly see this is not an objective book. There are a number of entries where the author passes judgement on a religions he disagrees with and condemns it's followers. This is not a guide to religion, it is a fundamentalist review and rating. The author is an obvious evangelical christian with a axe to grind. It's very sad. I bought this book to assist me during some international travel and it is now in the trash can in my hotel. Unless you are an evangelical christian looking for a guide on how to judge and attack people of different beliefs, this book is not for you.an example from the book - "members of this faith should reexamine their beliefs and have the courage to return to the Christian faith as described in the new testament"	negative
0	Same as cleaning your tongue with regular toothpaste	See my review for the Tung brush that goes with this gel. I don't prefer this system at all. Makes me gag something awful.	negative

1	Better than the other ones.	These were better than the other arch support insole by Dr. Sholl's . I don't know why they are. I still had arch pain with the other type but not with these.	positive
1	Better than Expected	I expected this would be a family movie to entertain all audiences in my household. The adults liked it. The animation and motion capture was excellent. I had never heard of the Tintin books, so I also enjoyed the history clip telling about how the movie came to film	positive
1	solar fountain	i have used this brand and model pump for several years. i use it as a battery operated, solar fountain. my system works great except the pump needs to be replaced every year. admittedly i run this thing constantly except duing long periods of low solar gain. i currently view it as a disposable pump which irritates me but i don't have many other affordable choices.next time i might step up to a cartrage replaceable pump but why cant they make a pump that lasts?	positive
0	Use It To Get A List Of the Topics	Please don't expect too much when you buy a ETS published test-prep book for a ETS created/administered test. If this book REALLY taught you and guided you on how to pass it, they would lose millions on prospective teachers who must continually shell out money to retake it again and again.Instead, you get a book that features one very good practice test and more detailed lists of the topics that it displays on the online Test At Glance for this exam.Use on those levels, but not really worth buying. Please try and borrow a copy from someone.	negative
1	They work	Used these to support my wrist and as a buffer while in a splint. They wrap well and do the job.	positive
1	I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!	All I can say about the Power Journal, Chronicles of a Revolutionary Black Woman in White America is that every page left me hungry for the next. I couldn't put the book down! Thank you for saying what so many are afraid to say in such a raw yet artistic manner. Waset is definately among my favorite artists.	positive
0	I wish I could go lower than 1 star	This makes me wish I hadn't put The Places blah blah blah at the bottom of my scale. That CD is at least a 3 compared to this drivel. Read the review of Tops of Trees blah blah blah at IndieTabs.net to see a far more eloquent version of this review. Anyway, I have the same problem with this as with Dashboard... The "acousti-fying" of "emo" was done by the New Amsterdams slightly before Chris "Carrabbas" and it is the type of idea that is only decent once. Anyway, this band with the amazingly terrible name managed to screw up Dashboard's model. I don't know how you can get worse than Dashboard, but they did. This is music completely without a point.	negative
1	The Tyrant Rules	Now with supreme authority over Saturn, for the sole purpose of balancing the deficit, Hope Hubris begins a reign that in years following will be looked back upon and the cure a tragically deficient planet needed. Of course, going throug it is pure hell.One of the things I particularly liked was the way he dealt with overpopulation. You see, for years the Navy has instituted weekly sex for their members, mandatory! To prevent unwanted pregnacies, they have an additive they put in the water supply which is prevents women from getting pregnant. To halt the rising overpopulation, he puts that drug in Jupitor's water supply. A civil war almost erupted over that one thing.Many other less than appreciated programs were put into effect but they were all done for the greater good. Sometimes you have to pull a tooth to save unwanted unpleasntries later.Excellent continuatin of the life of Hope Hubris.	positive
0	Completely Terrible !	Omg, I watched the movie "The Amazing Spiderman" last night. That movie sucks BIG time ! The story is so bad, the acting is so bad, it repeats things that happened in the first Spiderman movie and totally changes others. I can't believe people gave it a 4-5 star rating ! Keep in mind that I love the 3 Sam Raimi Spiderman movies, Sam R is a genius !	negative
0	Terrible Product	Followed directions exactly as written, and not only were the superficial scratches still there, but the lenses were blurry and almost looked as though there was an oil sheen on each lens. Fortunately the spray did remove the product and I believe i just wasted 40 minutes and ten bucks to clean my glasses. Buyer beware!	negative
1	Hard for newborns	On reviewer stated her newborn couldn't use the bottles well. I learned a trick for the problem when the baby is sucking but can't pull enough through Stage 1s. Cup your hand over the bottom of the bottle (the vent) and blow. The vents get clogged. You know if it loose if you can pinch the nipple and the milk streams out of the nipple. Pretty easy routine when checking the temperature. If it is clogged from formula settling, then milk won't stream out with a pinch test.My son loves these bottles, but started using them in combination with the Healthflow system when he was a newborn. Now that he is older he have a definite preference for the Vent-aire. He seems to burp less, likes the colors and doesn't spill or dripple as much formula. I would recommend these bottles, but be prepared if they have a hard time sucking, to use something like Healthflow for the first month.	positive
1	5 w/acid	O my f ing god!!!!!This movie is to die for!!!!! It is clasicly hesterical even if you're not on drugs but definately a riot. I am searching desperately for a copy of this classic that me and my friends have watched over and over after discovering it back in the late 80s. Please, please, please, please re-release this or help me find a copy of this.	positive

0	A "mystery" for morons	This one actually deserves ZERO stars, but I can't go lower than 1 star on this format. I had read one or two of MHC's books, and hated them both for being simplistic and predictable(I can't remember the titles). But on a trip to NYC from my home in CA, I needed something quick to read on the plane, and this book was the closest thing at hand at the airport souvenir shop. Sure enough, the plot was predictable, the characters dull and one- dimensional, and -- trust me!! -- there's more to being in the Witness Protection Program than the very brief, skimmed-over, and INACCURATE facts MHC gives us. I couldn't finish it. I left it in the hotel room. PEOPLE, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! This one really stinks.	negative
1	Nice Mouse	This is the second one I've bought. I really like this one better than the DEll mouse that came with my system. It doesn't have the ball on the bottom that always gets full of dust. I like it better than the wireless, because the wireless uses batteries so fast! I also like the magnifier. It's a cool little mouse.	positive
1	Good shoe	Although it is a little bit small, overall it is a good shoe: very confortable and I like the color	positive
1	Excellent Recording	SF Symophony has let out yet another excellent recording in their Mahler Cycle. Michael Tilson Thomas gives a genius interpretaion, and this CD defies all the claims that the live perfomance of the Symphony in September 2002 was a struggle.The orchestra members add color and splendor; Trumpeter Glenn Fitchhtal offers a superb posthorn solo, and trombonist Mark Lawrnece plays the solo in the first movement with fluency and determination. Michelle de Young also adds a mystical and awing sensation to the recording. Also on the CD is Kindertotenleider, and MTT along with the SFS and Michelle de Young, show that they are indeed some of the foremost Mahler interpreters.	positive
0	I agree with others: Cute, but not a great popper	Taz seems well-made and is certainly cute, but the designers were obviously not well-versed in popcorn dynamics. Popcorn flies everywhere (which delights the kids) and in the process it pushes a hefty number of unpopped kernels out as well.I wish I'd gone for the plain-jane popper when I replaced my previous air popper.	negative
1	No Multidisc Shuffle	I thought that this had the multidisc shuffle for auido CD playback-- the manual clearly states that shuffle only works on the current disc. There is a program mode, but it is really nice to be able to hit shuffle and have it actually shuffle the discs. I thought that was one of the major benefits for having a carosuel disc CD changer. I previously owned a Harmon Kardon 5 Disc CD carosel for nearly 10 years and used that feature all of the time. I bought this to consolidate two devices into one.Other than that complaint, this is a great DVD player, easy to use, quality picture and sound. Menu's are great. Great price, too.	positive
0	Get a different phone	I've decided to get a different phone. My biggest complaint is that this phone spontaneously turns off (even when it's locked). When it is on, the ring tones are hard to hear. The default "Select" button is in the middle of the arrow buttons, and it takes me 3 or 4 tries to push it sucessfully.	negative
1	A bottoms up look at Hitlers followers	This book is an autobiography of a young man of the Hitler Youth organization and explains the deep public support for Hitler, especially among young people. What is surprising is how long after the war it was before young Alfon saw and realized the depth and breath of the tragedy that the Nazi's inflicted on Germany, the Jews, and the world. It goes a long way to explain and reinforce how hard-headed the Germans really were in devotion to Hitler.	positive
0	Powerful Language?	Powerful language?! Hah! As if! This is a young adult book, written in a weak young adult targeted age range. Even 9 year olds can understand this book, that's why I found this so unappealing, it's so inexclusive. Powerful language?! Hah!	negative
0	El Stinko	"You're not the boss of me" was not in my granson's vocabulary until we foolishly read this story to him. Drawing on the walls was not something he did until he heard it in this story. The Spanish accent is insulting. Don't read this book to your children!	negative
1	Best book ever!!!	This is THE best book ever! It was my son's favorite book when he was a little boy...he is now 20 years old! I bought it as a baby boy shower gift and one for my 5 month old granddaughter, too. It won a Caldecott Award and the kids love to read it over and over and over again! Highly recommend!	positive
0	Really, I don't even give it one star!	This album by the Fast Food Rockers, is probably terrible. I haven't even heard it but I know they're bad. I don't think I need to listen to it! They're supposed to be a band for children, yet they dance around in tight PVC costumes - which is not an image to encourage kids to do. If your looking for decent music choose Busted (or Darius - for Stephanie!) They rock! Oh and hey to everyone in 11F at Newstead! Big Up to Madame Howarth!	negative
1	Roach's tribal-ambient masterpiece	This album is the culmination of Roach's tribal-influenced explorations beginning with Dreamtime Return and continuing with his two collaborations with Robert Rich and Suspended Memories. The power of Origins reaches an almost psychotic-like intensity, best realized on "Artifacts" and "Connected Underground", with a blistering digeridoo and frame drum interlude sequing the two tracks. Other recordings by like-minded artists like Stephen Kent and TUU are pale by comparison--it gets my vote as one of the best contemporary instrumental releases of the decade, maybe of all time--Roach's truly eerie atmospheres have never sounded eerier than they do here.	positive
0	Read BEFORE you buy	I purchased a "Wecome Aboard" donut to replace lthe one by our pool. I "must" have missed reading the size ( if there was one) before buying. When it arrived, WOW! Iwas less than 1/2 the size of my old one and would only look good by a childs wading pool. Again, read before you buy.	negative
1	I think you're missing it...	There are tons of reviews here, and a lot of them hit the point very well, but there is one aspect I have not seen anyone touch on. No one seems to realize that none of the killings really happen. There are a lot of clues to this if you read carefully. The reason Patrick is a psycho is he thinks all this stuff, but it's not actually happening. Paul Owen is the perfect example. Owen disappears to London, but in Patrick's fantasy world he has brutally murdered him, and covered it up with the London story. If you don't believe me, fine, but read the very end carefully again, when someone asks Why? and patrick says, "Maybe I should have done that instead of not doing it..." That part says it all.	positive
0	Havent seen a worse film yet..	Seeing Magnolia made me realize why i didnt like Boogie Nights either. PT Anderson has got to be the most self indulgent director the 90's has produced - at least if his movies had any meaning deeper than what you could see on any episdoe of MTV's Real World this wouldnt be such a fatal problem - charachters cursing and having hysterics to convey deep emotion doesnt cut it. The actors are all over the map in terms of their skills - Tom Cruise does well if the writing for his character wasnt so bad and the Singing Scene and Frog Scene are unintentionally hysterical but unless you fast forward thru the movie you have to sit through 3 hours of this mess to see them.	negative
1	My O Mia!	Mia is back and she is really excited to be an older sister! She is not too excited about her algebra teacher being the father of her sibling to be... nor is she too excited about her mother partaken of who knows what carcinogens in meat and beer and who knows what else. Doesn't she know she should stick with items like tofu?! Mia also is not too thrilled that she spilled the beans regarding her mother and her algebra teacher on a national interview. In the process, she might have sent one of her friends to boarding school in New Hampshire as well as making several people made at her. But as Mia will tell you... being a princess is not easy... especially when her grandmere insists on staging a wedding fit for royalty for her mother. Meanwhile, Mia keeps on getting notes from a secret admirer who thinks she is the Josiest girl in the school. What is Mia to do?This book was even better than volume one! Congratulations to Meg Cabot for this work... I look forward to the next one!Crazy James	positive
0	Defective product and insulting service	I purchased a Rio 600 for my son's Christmas present. It became defective after a couple of weeks. I spent more weeks getting to tech support and running through tests before they would issue an RMA.Their RMA process says that if the unit is defective, they will replace it, provided they have replacements in stock in their service center. Guess what? They don't have any in the service center, even as they sell them on-line. They have no expectation of getting any and require that customers wait indefinitely for the replacement units.I get the impression that there is a high defect rate and it is clearly compounded by awful service.	negative
1	Zoey Speaks Out	In my opinion of all the Making Out books Zoey Speaks Out is the very best. Within the book there are 3 main storylines, all wonderfully written and... well just plain awesome.The book is great, although i dont want to reveal the story lines... I just reccomend you read the book.	positive

0	Boring	I enjoy reading books by Nora Roberts, but somehow, Born In Ice just bored me. Nothing in the story "capitvated" or "grabbed" me, I found it sooo sloooow and I just could not get into the book.	negative
1	The Bible on The Spanish American War	This book by Frank Freidel is my favorite on the subject. "You may fire when ready, Gridley," says Commodore Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay. And so does Frank Freidel. That action took place just five days after President McKinley signed the resolution for war with Spain and Freidel puts the reader there. Freidel puts the reader right in the midst of the twin battles of El Caney and San Juan Hill in Cuba on July 1, 1898. The outcome of these battles spelled the success or failure of the American expeditionary force. Of San Juan Hill Theodore Roosevelt stated bluntly that "The battle simply fought itself." This was a direct criticism of General Shafter. It's this type of writing and research by Frank Freidel that makes this book so interesting and an enjoyable read. This book has been around for a while. If it weren't good it wouldn't be around today.	positive

0	Condemnation of politics, management, marketing is crazy	Mr. Guiness was a guest lecturer when I was in seminary in the early 90s, and he was challenged on his simplistic generalizations. He fails in the book to prove his case against the church growth movement. On page 164 he says, "In its fascination with statistics and data at the expense of truth, this movement [church growth] is characteristically modern." So I guess statistics and data are always false? Since when is counting always caving in to modernity? I believe that several times God was counting the people in the church. All you have to do is read the book of Acts to find out someone was counting. Acts 2:41"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." Acts 4:4 "Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand."Don't waste your time with this outdated and inappropriate book.	negative
1	Even better than I had hoped for	I thought I was going to be watching another 'quirky indie' movie, similar to 'Little Miss Sunshine', with which it shares producers and co-star Alan Arkin. Actually, while still very funny in places, it ended up being much more dramatic than expected, and a nice little film about family and growing up. Starring my new favorite actress, a dressed-down Amy Adams, and Emily Blunt as her irresponsible younger sister, it follows their adventures as they start their own business, cleaning up crime scenes. The ride takes them on several side roads, including class reunions and a strange friendship with Mary Lynn Rajskub ("Chloe" of '24'). The overall feel reminds me of another movie I loved last year - 'Waitress'. Maybe not a wall-to-wall laugh riot, but tender and memorable, and still enough smiles to make you walk out happy.	positive

0	DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME SUGAR	I am an African American fan of the Gone With the Wind book and Tape. This book was such an extreme waste of my time and energy. It is paper thin and usually for me this would be an afternoon read...it took two weeks. I kept reading it because I really wanted it to get better. I was severely and sincerely disappointed. YUCK!	negative
1	A very good album	This album is good to listen to except for the first 3 songs of side B. I'm a Michael W. Smith fan and I've listened to 4 of his albums. This album is still good although "Change Your World" is his best.	positive
0	"Conservatives" take themselves way too seriously	What is interesting is that books like this on the left are entertaining. Franken gets mileage out of being interesting and amusing as he throws his barbs. Books on the right take themselves way too seriously, this book being an example.	negative
0	5.1 surround mix sucks	I'm a Doors fan and I have bought all these albums at least 4 times before (LP, cassette, "regular" CD, then CD edition with bonus tracks) each, so the only reason why I bought this box set is the 5.1 surround sound mix. By any metric imaginable, these are definitely the worst 5.1 mixes I have ever encountered. Just about everything is dumped on the central channel; one can occasionally hear a guitar solo or keyboards on the surround channels, and that's about it. You might as well disconnect the subwoofer because no signal is sent to that channel. Save your money and wait for the next dvd-audio edition.	negative
0	Apparently, you can go too cheap on HDMI cables.	Okay, I don't think you need to spend big bucks on HDMI cables and most of the decently priced cables are just as great as the wallet busting cables. That said, apparently you CAN go too cheap. These cables are garbage! I purchased two of them to run from my mounted TV to the cable box and PS3. One of the cables put "snow" on the screen and the other one looked great at first but then the next day while watching TV, the image started flickering at random times. Junk.	negative
0	What a disappointment!	James Prosek is as brilliant an artist as he is a poor writer. His style is regrettably imitative, paying obvious homage to both Thomas McGuane and Ernest Hemingway without measuring up as even a respectable forgery. I really anticipated a flyfishing book; not a boastful manuscript of sexual conquests. The fishing community wants John Gierach, not Danielle Steel. If you want to buy something by Mr. Prosek, make it the watercolor books of artistry and history. They are top notch.	negative

I did not wanna send it back do to it just comeing back in the same package that was sent the first time wich messed up the hand grip and sword point. so i will be sending it to a professional metal/leather crafter i know to fix the damage that it had when i got it. so if you order high amount items do not do it on amazon or it will be shiped like crap.	negative

0	Very disappointing.	I wish I could have leafed through this book before buying it. It is not a representative sampling of 45RPM sleeve art; it looks like a very personal selection of covers, and if your tastes happen to be different (as mine are) there's very little to appreciate in this book.But worst of all, in my opinion, is that the older sleeves look like they were picked up in a junk store just the other day. Absolutely no restorative work was done on the pictures; they are faded, dirty, and worn, which is hardly representative of the way they should look. It just seems that nobody cared about doing a good job.	negative

1	I use fans to keep laptop & ps3 cooler	I ordered two of the 'Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan'(s). Out of the box I was batting .500, the first fan worked fine (usb chord, fan-speed contol). When I plugged in the 2nd, the speed control didn't work properly (fan was stuck on high). There was an issue with one of the connections. As I 'wiggled' the wire, the fan-speed slowed down/sped up...NO problem in this case, as I returned it and received a new fan in only a few days!I use these fans to keep my laptop & ps3 cooler. They do a good job and having a speed control gives you the ability to adjust for different temps and for fan-noise.One complaint: it would be nice if the wire stand (that is integrated into the fan housing) had an ability to 'tilt' to adjust the fan at different angles...but for the price it's hard to complain.simple / functional / adjustable / compact	positive

0	Excellent Documentary on Defective Discs	It is unfortunate that this most excellent documentary seems to have been taped on, what appears to be, faulty discs.

None of my other DVD's do this; only these two documentaries. Therefore, I would advise potential customers to be aware of this problem when considering their purchases.It is such a shame!

If you are into that get software. I wanted a concordance that would give me verb parsings and noun forms on difficult words during the course of a Bible-book study. This tome doesn't help with either. It is really just a large print-out of a computer search.

1	Very Useful Tool!!	Sorry, but I disagree 100% with the previous reviewer. I purchased this book in May 2007 for the New Jersey Praxis Exam in June 2007.The book provides a sample exam with complete explanation for the answers. The book also informs test takers how to prepare for the exam.As a career changer, who has been out of school for 15 years, I used this book to prepare for the exam. I scored in the 95th percentile. I would highly recommend this book.One word of caution, every state has it's own requirements, both in terms of the exam itself and what is a passing grade - thus your own results may vary. In NJ, the actual Praxis exam consists of 120 multiple choice questions which must be completed in 2 hours - very similar to the sample exam provided in this Praxis Study Guide.	positive

a knitter in colorado

At first, I was excited to find a knitting book with easy, modern designs. Then, once I made my first project, I realized her sizing was on the small side, even a large was too small, and I'm mot a large person.The smaller projects in the book are nice for gifts, but I would skip the sweaters. Also, many of the projects would be better suited to circular knitting. Know one wants to seam a hat that can be knit in a circle to begin with!Her directions are vague at times, and her finishing techniques don't really give a professional look. I find it hard to believe she finishes her own garments this way.

just ok

I may be in the minority here, but I thought this book was somewhat boring. The characters were stiff and two dimensional, and the dialogue was slow and hard to believe. At times the plot did rise to the occasion distracting me from the lame dialogue, but I must say that overall I was pretty disappointed. Take this for what it's worth. I would recomend it only if you have nothing better waiting unread on your bookshelf.

Eek! How Boring!

I have many books covering the making of movies and I have quite a few Art of Books. This has to be one of the most boring I have seen.The book primarily focus on the concept art that made the cut( rather than the art that didn't, like in the Art of Star Wars series) which leaves you feeling a little empty. Why see the final product when you can buy one of the Official movie books with stunning colour pictures?Pencil drawings, final clay models, and costume designs make up the majority of this book. However, again, it is only the final designs that make the cut.Take my advice and put the money into the Art of Attack of the Clones; much more exciting and better value for money.

Not very good, at all.

There's maybe one or two decent stories, otherwise, the rest are pretty much garbage. The animation is poor and some of the stories are forgettable and goofy. I know one is meant to be as a joke, but it's a waste of space. It should've been on the extras or bonus material, instead of mixed in with the rest. Overall, I was looking for something that would add to the Halo Universe or just bring some new life to Halo. This did neither. I gave it two stars for the two introduction episodes and the last one. And even those weren't THAT great.

A Diamond in the Rough!!!

I loved this Movie ..I connected on some level to the Love of my life in my younger days and I could feel the wonderful vunerability of being in Love at such a irresponsible age ,when nothing was of consequence except your feelings for that person and her feelings for you ...nobody else mattered ...Life was so simple then ...no complications ...and then we Grow up(Mature) and we are told what we should look for in a Lifetime partner !!!..But these two Beautiful individuals in this movie make we believe that I was not wrong in how I felt twenty years ago ..and maybe there is still hope that I find my True love and feel the Passion all over again ...all the cast give superb performances...Enjoy ..

Just fine

This is not a very pricey car seat but I think it's just fine. We have bought more expensive and presumeably safer cars seats, but with twins and the need to have 4 seats, I got this one because it was lightweight and could be used more for in and out of my husband's car and family members that might take the babies. God forbid we should ever be in an accident and have to really test them out, but they seem safe and sturdy enough for older babies.

Great concept

I like the fact that I don't have to dispose and clean everytime I use an espresso machine. I previously had a Briel Apollo, but the espresso that came out of it did not taste as good, not to mention that I have tamper down and discard the grounds which became quite messy. With Capresso, I never have to tamper and see the grounds until the discard tray fills up. The crema is excellent. My only complaint is that you are only allowed two scoops of grounds. If you want to make a big cup of coffee crema, it becomes too weak as more water passes through. I love STRONG crema (but somehow don't like espresso), so in order to fill up a cup, I keep having to discard and add more grounds, which is no big deal since it discards easily. Just more wasted grounds.

Pure Crap

This is one of the worst things I've read in a long, long time. The characters are one dimensional (if that), the plot contrived, the writing style amateurish (Whitcomb's idea of describing a person, for example, is to simply 'name drop' a string of designer labels - and he does this over and over).The conclusion, which because the book ended is what I must call it, felt like the end of a really bad comic book, and does nothing more than set the stage for what I must suppose is a whole series of 'superhero spy' books.I'll pass, thanks. Fool me once ...

Total Flop

I'm 43 and these strips have been around for some time now. Over the years, I have tried these strips and was left disappointed. I'd stop then years later try again, hoping the product had been improved. Each time, I came away with the same result, disappointment.I have pretty oily skin and get acne in my nose and it enlarges my pores. I got these strips again a few weeks ago, again, hoping they'd improved. But they didn't. These strips cost $8 for 14 strips.I used an entire box and each time I used one of the strips, it didn't work. The instructions say leave on your nose for about 15 minutes, which I do. When I remove them, the strip is clean and fails to serve its purpose. I think its safe to say, I'd never buy or use these strips ever again. Sorry Biore', for me, these strips were a flop.

Transfer Belt Error - avoid this printer

Great LED lighting system!

I originally purchased 3 of these in white over a year ago and they are still working great! I set the blue ones up this past weekend and they look spectacular! The beam of light is softer under water but it mimics natural beams of moonlight. They work well to illuminate the bottom of my 75 gallon freshwater aquarium so I can observe my nocturnal fish. I also have a 4"+ red eared slider turtle in the tank and he tried to pick apart the lights and they stood up to him! So they are quite tough.

An excellent instructional vehicle for the newcomer or the moderately-skilled wood turner.

Very confusing -- didnt even cover the basics!

*this review concerns the edition that did not discuss libertarianism.. that would be a welcome addition*I give this two stars because there WERE parts of the book that were factual, interesting, and important. However, I found the entire book as a whole to be sloppy, confusing, and poorly written. For example, throughout the entire book, I was waiting to see a simple definition of socialism, or for a distinct difference between socialism and communism. However, not only does the author never do this, but he confuses the reader more and more by talking for dozens of pages on MARX in the SOCIALIST chapter, when Marx wrote the COMMUNIST manifesto!?! Does he explain the links or relationships between the two? Never. I was surprisingly disappointed in this book, as I would be very interested in a thorough, succinct, clear analysis of these philosophies.

What Happened to Poor Mr. Crispin?

I recently re-discovered Edmund Crispin and downloaded four of his works. They were all good reads: crisp, clever and to the point. This one was so bad I deleted it after a couple of chapters. It's arch and pretentious. The characters are tediously eccentric and wholly unbelievable. There's a repulsive sub-plot about cruelty to animals.It was a most unfortunate end to an admirable writing career.

Worst book I have ever bought

The idea for the book is great. A quick skim through in the book store had me thinking this was the book I was looking for. When you actually start to read the various entries you will quickly see this is not an objective book. There are a number of entries where the author passes judgement on a religions he disagrees with and condemns it's followers. This is not a guide to religion, it is a fundamentalist review and rating. The author is an obvious evangelical christian with a axe to grind. It's very sad. I bought this book to assist me during some international travel and it is now in the trash can in my hotel. Unless you are an evangelical christian looking for a guide on how to judge and attack people of different beliefs, this book is not for you.an example from the book - "members of this faith should reexamine their beliefs and have the courage to return to the Christian faith as described in the new testament"

Use It To Get A List Of the Topics

Please don't expect too much when you buy a ETS published test-prep book for a ETS created/administered test. If this book REALLY taught you and guided you on how to pass it, they would lose millions on prospective teachers who must continually shell out money to retake it again and again.Instead, you get a book that features one very good practice test and more detailed lists of the topics that it displays on the online Test At Glance for this exam.Use on those levels, but not really worth buying.

The Tyrant Rules

Now with supreme authority over Saturn, for the sole purpose of balancing the deficit, Hope Hubris begins a reign that in years following will be looked back upon and the cure a tragically deficient planet needed. Of course, going throug it is pure hell.One of the things I particularly liked was the way he dealt with overpopulation. You see, for years the Navy has instituted weekly sex for their members, mandatory! To prevent unwanted pregnacies, they have an additive they put in the water supply which is prevents women from getting pregnant. To halt the rising overpopulation, he puts that drug in Jupitor's water supply. A civil war almost erupted over that one thing.Many other less than appreciated programs were put into effect but they were all done for the greater good. Sometimes you have to pull a tooth to save unwanted unpleasntries later.Excellent continuatin of the life of Hope Hubris.

Hard for newborns

On reviewer stated her newborn couldn't use the bottles well. I learned a trick for the problem when the baby is sucking but can't pull enough through Stage 1s. Cup your hand over the bottom of the bottle (the vent) and blow. The vents get clogged. You know if it loose if you can pinch the nipple and the milk streams out of the nipple. Pretty easy routine when checking the temperature. If it is clogged from formula settling, then milk won't stream out with a pinch test.My son loves these bottles, but started using them in combination with the Healthflow system when he was a newborn. Now that he is older he have a definite preference for the Vent-aire. He seems to burp less, likes the colors and doesn't spill or dripple as much formula. I would recommend these bottles, but be prepared if they have a hard time sucking, to use something like Healthflow for the first month.

A "mystery" for morons

This one actually deserves ZERO stars, but I can't go lower than 1 star on this format. I had read one or two of MHC's books, and hated them both for being simplistic and predictable(I can't remember the titles). But on a trip to NYC from my home in CA, I needed something quick to read on the plane, and this book was the closest thing at hand at the airport souvenir shop. Sure enough, the plot was predictable, the characters dull and one- dimensional, and -- trust me!! -- there's more to being in the Witness Protection Program than the very brief, skimmed-over, and INACCURATE facts MHC gives us. I couldn't finish it. I left it in the hotel room. PEOPLE, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! This one really stinks.

SF Symophony has let out yet another excellent recording in their Mahler Cycle. Michael Tilson Thomas gives a genius interpretaion, and this CD defies all the claims that the live perfomance of the Symphony in September 2002 was a struggle.The orchestra members add color and splendor; Trumpeter Glenn Fitchhtal offers a superb posthorn solo, and trombonist Mark Lawrnece plays the solo in the first movement with fluency and determination. Michelle de Young also adds a mystical and awing sensation to the recording. Also on the CD is Kindertotenleider, and MTT along with the SFS and Michelle de Young, show that they are indeed some of the foremost Mahler interpreters.

I agree with others: Cute, but not a great popper

Taz seems well-made and is certainly cute, but the designers were obviously not well-versed in popcorn dynamics. Popcorn flies everywhere (which delights the kids) and in the process it pushes a hefty number of unpopped kernels out as well.I wish I'd gone for the plain-jane popper when I replaced my previous air popper.

No Multidisc Shuffle

I thought that this had the multidisc shuffle for auido CD playback-- the manual clearly states that shuffle only works on the current disc. There is a program mode, but it is really nice to be able to hit shuffle and have it actually shuffle the discs. I thought that was one of the major benefits for having a carosuel disc CD changer. I previously owned a Harmon Kardon 5 Disc CD carosel for nearly 10 years and used that feature all of the time. I bought this to consolidate two devices into one.Other than that complaint, this is a great DVD player, easy to use, quality picture and sound. Menu's are great. Great price, too.

Get a different phone

I've decided to get a different phone. My biggest complaint is that this phone spontaneously turns off (even when it's locked). When it is on, the ring tones are hard to hear. The default "Select" button is in the middle of the arrow buttons, and it takes me 3 or 4 tries to push it sucessfully.

A bottoms up look at Hitlers followers

This book is an autobiography of a young man of the Hitler Youth organization and explains the deep public support for Hitler, especially among young people. What is surprising is how long after the war it was before young Alfon saw and realized the depth and breath of the tragedy that the Nazi's inflicted on Germany, the Jews, and the world. It goes a long way to explain and reinforce how hard-headed the Germans really were in devotion to Hitler.

Powerful Language?

Powerful language?! Hah! As if! This is a young adult book, written in a weak young adult targeted age range. Even 9 year olds can understand this book, that's why I found this so unappealing, it's so inexclusive. Powerful language?! Hah!

Best book ever!!!

This is THE best book ever! It was my son's favorite book when he was a little boy...he is now 20 years old! I bought it as a baby boy shower gift and one for my 5 month old granddaughter, too. It won a Caldecott Award and the kids love to read it over and over and over again! Highly recommend!

Really, I don't even give it one star!

This album by the Fast Food Rockers, is probably terrible. I haven't even heard it but I know they're bad. I don't think I need to listen to it! They're supposed to be a band for children, yet they dance around in tight PVC costumes - which is not an image to encourage kids to do. If your looking for decent music choose Busted (or Darius - for Stephanie!) They rock! Oh and hey to everyone in 11F at Newstead! Big Up to Madame Howarth!

Roach's tribal-ambient masterpiece

This album is the culmination of Roach's tribal-influenced explorations beginning with Dreamtime Return and continuing with his two collaborations with Robert Rich and Suspended Memories. The power of Origins reaches an almost psychotic-like intensity, best realized on "Artifacts" and "Connected Underground", with a blistering digeridoo and frame drum interlude sequing the two tracks. Other recordings by like-minded artists like Stephen Kent and TUU are pale by comparison--it gets my vote as one of the best contemporary instrumental releases of the decade, maybe of all time--Roach's truly eerie atmospheres have never sounded eerier than they do here.

Read BEFORE you buy

I purchased a "Wecome Aboard" donut to replace lthe one by our pool. I "must" have missed reading the size ( if there was one) before buying. When it arrived, WOW! Iwas less than 1/2 the size of my old one and would only look good by a childs wading pool. Again, read before you buy.

I think you're missing it...

There are tons of reviews here, and a lot of them hit the point very well, but there is one aspect I have not seen anyone touch on. No one seems to realize that none of the killings really happen. There are a lot of clues to this if you read carefully. The reason Patrick is a psycho is he thinks all this stuff, but it's not actually happening. Paul Owen is the perfect example. Owen disappears to London, but in Patrick's fantasy world he has brutally murdered him, and covered it up with the London story. If you don't believe me, fine, but read the very end carefully again, when someone asks Why? and patrick says, "Maybe I should have done that instead of not doing it..." That part says it all.

Havent seen a worse film yet..

Seeing Magnolia made me realize why i didnt like Boogie Nights either. PT Anderson has got to be the most self indulgent director the 90's has produced - at least if his movies had any meaning deeper than what you could see on any episdoe of MTV's Real World this wouldnt be such a fatal problem - charachters cursing and having hysterics to convey deep emotion doesnt cut it. The actors are all over the map in terms of their skills - Tom Cruise does well if the writing for his character wasnt so bad and the Singing Scene and Frog Scene are unintentionally hysterical but unless you fast forward thru the movie you have to sit through 3 hours of this mess to see them.

My O Mia!

Mia is back and she is really excited to be an older sister! She is not too excited about her algebra teacher being the father of her sibling to be... nor is she too excited about her mother partaken of who knows what carcinogens in meat and beer and who knows what else. Doesn't she know she should stick with items like tofu?! Mia also is not too thrilled that she spilled the beans regarding her mother and her algebra teacher on a national interview. In the process, she might have sent one of her friends to boarding school in New Hampshire as well as making several people made at her. But as Mia will tell you... being a princess is not easy... especially when her grandmere insists on staging a wedding fit for royalty for her mother. Meanwhile, Mia keeps on getting notes from a secret admirer who thinks she is the Josiest girl in the school. What is Mia to do?This book was even better than volume one! Congratulations to Meg Cabot for this work... I look forward to the next one!Crazy James

Defective product and insulting service

I purchased a Rio 600 for my son's Christmas present. It became defective after a couple of weeks. I spent more weeks getting to tech support and running through tests before they would issue an RMA.Their RMA process says that if the unit is defective, they will replace it, provided they have replacements in stock in their service center. Guess what? They don't have any in the service center, even as they sell them on-line. They have no expectation of getting any and require that customers wait indefinitely for the replacement units.I get the impression that there is a high defect rate and it is clearly compounded by awful service.

The Bible on The Spanish American War

This book by Frank Freidel is my favorite on the subject. "You may fire when ready, Gridley," says Commodore Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay. And so does Frank Freidel. That action took place just five days after President McKinley signed the resolution for war with Spain and Freidel puts the reader there. Freidel puts the reader right in the midst of the twin battles of El Caney and San Juan Hill in Cuba on July 1, 1898. The outcome of these battles spelled the success or failure of the American expeditionary force. Of San Juan Hill Theodore Roosevelt stated bluntly that "The battle simply fought itself." This was a direct criticism of General Shafter. It's this type of writing and research by Frank Freidel that makes this book so interesting and an enjoyable read. This book has been around for a while. If it weren't good it wouldn't be around today.

Condemnation of politics, management, marketing is crazy

Mr. Guiness was a guest lecturer when I was in seminary in the early 90s, and he was challenged on his simplistic generalizations. He fails in the book to prove his case against the church growth movement. On page 164 he says, "In its fascination with statistics and data at the expense of truth, this movement [church growth] is characteristically modern." So I guess statistics and data are always false? Since when is counting always caving in to modernity? I believe that several times God was counting the people in the church. All you have to do is read the book of Acts to find out someone was counting. Acts 2:41"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." Acts 4:4 "Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand."Don't waste your time with this outdated and inappropriate book.

Even better than I had hoped for

I thought I was going to be watching another 'quirky indie' movie, similar to 'Little Miss Sunshine', with which it shares producers and co-star Alan Arkin. Actually, while still very funny in places, it ended up being much more dramatic than expected, and a nice little film about family and growing up. Starring my new favorite actress, a dressed-down Amy Adams, and Emily Blunt as her irresponsible younger sister, it follows their adventures as they start their own business, cleaning up crime scenes. The ride takes them on several side roads, including class reunions and a strange friendship with Mary Lynn Rajskub ("Chloe" of '24'). The overall feel reminds me of another movie I loved last year - 'Waitress'. Maybe not a wall-to-wall laugh riot, but tender and memorable, and still enough smiles to make you walk out happy.

5.1 surround mix sucks

I'm a Doors fan and I have bought all these albums at least 4 times before (LP, cassette, "regular" CD, then CD edition with bonus tracks) each, so the only reason why I bought this box set is the 5.1 surround sound mix. By any metric imaginable, these are definitely the worst 5.1 mixes I have ever encountered. Just about everything is dumped on the central channel; one can occasionally hear a guitar solo or keyboards on the surround channels, and that's about it. You might as well disconnect the subwoofer because no signal is sent to that channel. Save your money and wait for the next dvd-audio edition.

Apparently, you can go too cheap on HDMI cables.

Okay, I don't think you need to spend big bucks on HDMI cables and most of the decently priced cables are just as great as the wallet busting cables. That said, apparently you CAN go too cheap. These cables are garbage! I purchased two of them to run from my mounted TV to the cable box and PS3. One of the cables put "snow" on the screen and the other one looked great at first but then the next day while watching TV, the image started flickering at random times. Junk.

What a disappointment!

James Prosek is as brilliant an artist as he is a poor writer. His style is regrettably imitative, paying obvious homage to both Thomas McGuane and Ernest Hemingway without measuring up as even a respectable forgery. I really anticipated a flyfishing book; not a boastful manuscript of sexual conquests. The fishing community wants John Gierach, not Danielle Steel. If you want to buy something by Mr. Prosek, make it the watercolor books of artistry and history. They are top notch.

Very disappointing.

I wish I could have leafed through this book before buying it. It is not a representative sampling of 45RPM sleeve art; it looks like a very personal selection of covers, and if your tastes happen to be different (as mine are) there's very little to appreciate in this book.But worst of all, in my opinion, is that the older sleeves look like they were picked up in a junk store just the other day. Absolutely no restorative work was done on the pictures; they are faded, dirty, and worn, which is hardly representative of the way they should look. It just seems that nobody cared about doing a good job.

Many errors and contrived

The story started off well though there were several spelling errors; however, by the half way point, the "Christian" point of view became more preaching than story telling.

I use fans to keep laptop & ps3 cooler

I ordered two of the 'Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan'(s). Out of the box I was batting .500, the first fan worked fine (usb chord, fan-speed contol). When I plugged in the 2nd, the speed control didn't work properly (fan was stuck on high). There was an issue with one of the connections. As I 'wiggled' the wire, the fan-speed slowed down/sped up...NO problem in this case, as I returned it and received a new fan in only a few days!I use these fans to keep my laptop & ps3 cooler. They do a good job and having a speed control gives you the ability to adjust for different temps and for fan-noise.One complaint: it would be nice if the wire stand (that is integrated into the fan housing) had an ability to 'tilt' to adjust the fan at different angles...but for the price it's hard to complain.simple / functional / adjustable / compact

Hair: Its Power and Meaning....

An awful atrocity of the literary genre. It was like the personal notebooks of various authors compiled into an uneven mess. Too many articles, too many footnotes & references to page numbers of other books, too little of pictures. Too many irrelevant points of view. I did not enjoy it. It's only a few hundred pages and is entirely black & white, and it was way to high-priced. Like $24.00. If you're looking for any meaning or pictures of the wonderful & elaborate hair dos of Asia, you will find no information in this horrible book.

Excellent Documentary on Defective Discs

It is unfortunate that this most excellent documentary seems to have been taped on, what appears to be, faulty discs. The movie freeze-frames towards the end of the presentation. The original version of this film did the same thing. I played the discs on two different DVD's. It did the same thing on both machines. None of my other DVD's do this; only these two documentaries. Therefore, I would advise potential customers to be aware of this problem when considering their purchases.It is such a shame! Because this is one of the best documentaries on the subject I have ever seen.

Bought this camera around September. The first roll of film came out great. About halfway through the second roll I turned the camera on and the zoom came all the way out and the lights flashed etc. I returned the camera for repair and Minolta repaired it under warranty, great. Went through 2 rolls of film for Christmas, all blurry. Returned camera to Minolta explainingg the problem and they send me an estimate for $61.00 to fix it, saying that I dropped it. I can buy a new camera for that price. I'll never buy another Minolta product.

Not a Good Buy

I found this book to be slightly above useless. It doesn't really help with anything I can see, unless you really want to get details on word count by book. If you are into that get software. I wanted a concordance that would give me verb parsings and noun forms on difficult words during the course of a Bible-book study. This tome doesn't help with either. It is really just a large print-out of a computer search. I think Kostengerger could have made it a great one-stop-shop if he simple adds the declension and parsing information with each word form. But as it is its a no-stop-shop.

Very Useful Tool!!

Sorry, but I disagree 100% with the previous reviewer. I purchased this book in May 2007 for the New Jersey Praxis Exam in June 2007.The book provides a sample exam with complete explanation for the answers. The book also informs test takers how to prepare for the exam.As a career changer, who has been out of school for 15 years, I used this book to prepare for the exam. I scored in the 95th percentile. I would highly recommend this book.One word of caution, every state has it's own requirements, both in terms of the exam itself and what is a passing grade - thus your own results may vary. In NJ, the actual Praxis exam consists of 120 multiple choice questions which must be completed in 2 hours - very similar to the sample exam provided in this Praxis Study Guide.
