0	A disappointment	I've read most of the Hemlock Falls mysteries and have enjoyed them. But this one has a disjointed plot. There are loose ends that go nowhere; serious questions are unanswered; and the mystery is solved only with 2 revelations out of left field at the end. It looks as if the author (and her editors) fell down on this one.It's a good thing that most of the others are much better.	negative
0	Falls short on what it could have been.	I had high hopes for this book. I do believe in primal leadership, that there is a real, biological basis to what does and doesn't work in leadership. Basically leadership is going from an art to a science, and it's this biologically based approach which will get us there.The problem with this book is that it's needlessly fluffy. There are lots of "case studies" with quite frankly poor science in them. I got discouraged to see the text stay so high level, and make grand statements without backing them up.What I was left with was a number of "you should do this" statements, but without enough specifics on why or how to be useful. It's too bad because the concept of primal leadership is great. For some reason Goleman didn't deliver.Where to go? Maybe check out "Working with Emotional Intelligence" by Goleman, which is pretty good.	negative
0	floor scrubber	just sent a Hoover back to Hsn. It worked very little and was a waste of money. No more Hoover for me	negative
0	Disappointed	I really did not like this product. I went from being a liquid foundation wearer to this and was very disappointed in the lack of coverage. I was attempting to use this as an alternate means of covering acne scars and uneven skin tones but the end result was yuck! I spent more time trying to apply and reapply to get the a similar result as the liquid foundation.I feel this product is better for someone with less problem skin.	negative
1	a nice story a boy and a dog	if u have read my other reveiws u will see i critize ever thing but i have nothing bad to say about this i luv the illistartions and the wolf is soooo CUTE so i have no bad things to say	positive
0	BAD PAINT JOB	This tea pot looks great in the picture but when you get it it looks NOTHING like the picture. The painting of the blue willow on the tea pot is horrible and so dark you barely make out what its suppose to be. The picture of the teapot is very misleading to what you will get ! DON"T PURCHASE!!	negative
0	Didnt work	This product didn't help me at all. It is expensive and is not effective. I purchase two of them and didn't notice any difference at all. The product consistency also is not good. Doesn't look like a gel but water.	negative
1	Audacious and promising	If Rufus Wainwright is too "out there" for you, don't even touch this CD. Leave it alone.However, if you are open-minded and enjoy infectious, brilliant music without worrying too much about categorizing it, PICK THIS UP. Mika had me from the first song (the outstanding single "Grace Kelly"...like the bastard child of David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, and Elton John, what a great song!)Throughout the rest of the album, he shows great musicmanship and range (there are ballads, rockers, disco tunes, electronic tunes...all over the map!)...the common component is that this guy just writes really great songs (plus there's his voice...almost a dead ringer for Freddy Mercury, and GREAT use of falsetto....)Get this one, it's good...can't wait to hear more from Mika.	positive
1	Dexter	Unusual story line, quite a bit of psychological interplay. Excellent characters. Very entertaining. I recommend this product although rather gruesome at times.	positive
0	waste of money	These fangs ruined my costume. The putty does not work at all. I bought these from a Halloween store that had already almost sold out of them, so i thought they would be a good investment. I could not have been more wrong. I mixed the putty exactly how the directions described, and even tried again with the extra putty. I made sure my teeth and the product were dry before applying. Fun World needs to upgrade their putty or take this product off the market! what a waste of time and ten dollars.	negative
1	Many ideas for designing small areas near small houses	(4.5 Stars) I can see from the other reviews that there exist a wide range of opinions about this book. I fall on the high side, I suppose. I enjoyed the large number of photos and ideas for landscaping small areas - spots even - in the yard around a smaller home.One, rather unreal aspect was that, most of the homes pictured are modern homes with interesting custom architecture. Some of us live in simple ranch-styles (boxes).Julie's training and interest in architecture does come through, but I did not find it distracting. In fact, I found the emphasis on the relationship between the interior design of the home and landscape as seen from inside very useful. Most landscaping books present only the view TOWARD the house, not FROM it.I got several good ideas from this book and learned a bit about design.	positive
0	horrible book	Kelly is one of the worst JLA writers ever, he has a native american character who is a walking stereotype hwo can't do anything but show up and beat the bad guys or cry over his people building casinos, never mind the casinos provide funding for the tribe that is badly needed, no this writer does not know how to play fair in his stories.we have stories bashign the president and the war that are so badly done they suck any fun out of the story and come off like some horrible propaganda, i am not argung the views but how he did it, they stick out like a sore thumb instead of being subtle and are badly one sided.the rest of the stories are average at best, nothing to see here that is important, you would be better off buying some Morrison JLA or Waid, but skip this, i have every JLA of this run up to 100 and the best i can say about this writer is the next 3 make him look almost good..almost.	negative
1	Best Version	Alastair Sim's "A Christmas Carol" is by far the greatest version of the movie. The actors are great and the age of the movie really gets you ready for Christmas, it's warm & cozy. Personally, I like the black & white better but it's nice to have both. Highly recommend.	positive
0	Disappointed	I bought this set to have some extra sockets around the house. I was hopeful this would be a great product, but unfortunately, it's not. The whole set isn't very good in quality and I figure they would probably break if you used them very heavily. I just threw the set in the garage in case every other socket I have disappears, I at least have this set as a backup.	negative
1	a must have	I don't drink or like the smell of coffee, but my boyfriend does. traditional coffee makers smell up the house (and take too long). This was the best gift I got him, he has a cup in less then 5 minutes and it doesn't stink up the house like the traditional ones do.	positive
1	As always this was a great book.	I go from month to month waiting for these books. I am never disappointed. Mr. Axler keeps you wanting to turn the page and see what our heros get into next. Please keep them coming. Faster if possible.	positive
1	Good read but get ready to be depressed and/or angry	The book does a good job of explaining what happened in Rwanda and the author makes a good attempt at trying to understand and explain the reasoning behind the genocide. He makes it very clear that the West was quite hypocritical in its actions (or lack of) and bundled big time. He also does a good job in explaining what happened before and after the massacres, not just the massacres themselves.I also recommend checking out the Frontline show on Rwanda, which just as interesting as this book.	positive
1	perfect	I also found the 3 7/8 inch fits perfectly into a one pound coffee can that I used for making Perogi, it makes it more comfortable than the ruffled edge. Very well made, and the size is printed on each cutter.	positive
1	Round and Round	I would like to put 4.5 stars but cannot.This book was definitely worth my time. Everyone knows who Magellan is, but very few know the details of his voyage. This book fills in all the gaps of your history textbook and brings the story alive. Thankfully the story of securing the voyage and the political machinations involved is fairly quick and the author gets right to Magellan's voyage. The more that you read the better the book gets.I highly recommend this book both for entertainment and enlightenment about an important part of history.My one criticism is that the author neglects to use maps in the book. Maybe this is to have the reader feel just like the men on this voyage - utterly lost as to where they are. Make sure that you have an Atlas to refer to as you read this book.	positive
1	Barking	This is another one of Turid Rugaas' wonderful and insightful books on dog behavior and training. I recommend it highly.	positive
1	must have	omg this is the coolest watch ever. it looks better on your hand you must get this watch it is so classy	positive
1	Two of the best albums on one Disc!	These two albums "A Lot to Fear," and "Plant a Tree or Die," are the first efforts (and arguably the best), from the environmentally active Boston Hardcore band TREE. The sound is heavy and raw, the breakdowns are clever, the lyrics thought provoking and energized. In their heyday TREE toured with Clutch. One listen to this disc and you'll see why. It'll leave you nodding your head long after the last track ends.	positive
0	SleepRight Adjustable Low-Profile Night Guard - WEAK	This was a total waste of money, even my dentist did not give me any positive advice on it after inspecting it " too Weak ", it does not help at all in the sideways motion which is critical if you have these night problems with your jaws. Poor Design.	negative
0	unreadable	This book is , not to put too fine a point on it, awful. In order to comprehend any of it you have to have read most of the previous books and even then this book is not very good. The characters blab on and on about nothing with frequent asides by the author. I have now read 5 books by Miss Thirkell and, for the most part, enjoyed them but this one is almost unreadable. Why two stars ? I like Angela Thirkell and I really liked the cover.	negative
1	Impressed Clarinet Student	I recently played the Weber Concerto 1 in a competition and bought the recording to help me with it. Weber is an incredible composer and I have found this CD to be inspiring and entertaining! It's a great set.	positive
0	Terribly Inconsistent with Sloped Yards	Reading the reviews, and the FAQ on the PetSafe website, it said that it should be fine with sloped or hilled yards. But, after purchasing it and working with it for a few hours, I found it to be terribly inconsistent on the hills, if not non-existent. The documentation suggests that you re-position the transmitter, but sometimes it's just not possible.If your yard is anything but flat, or a very gentle slope, DO NOT PURCHASE this item!	negative
0	Predators	I am unable to view this DVD; I receive the message "check regional code" on my DVD player. I can view the DVD on my lap top computer. Can you help?	negative
1	Great Sauce Pot	I bought the sauce pot to go with the set I have. It is the perfect size for pasta and it's easy to clean, nothing sticks to it. I prefer to hand wash my pots and pans anyway, so not putting them in a dishwasher is not a negative for me. Just remember when you buy Anolon cookware, always buy the advanced, and you won't be disappointing.	positive
1	Getting Somewhat Better As The Series Goes Along	While this series hasn't reached the level as its predecessor overall the series does grow in entertainment and quality per episode, especially as we get some screen time with some of the other background characters in the series as well. While the Wraith remain the primary enemy on the series we also get some intrusion from past enemies as well from G'aould to the Replicators as well as some cameo time from some of the SG1 team members too. While Shepard is no Jack O'Neill he has started getting his own personality it seems that fits the series well and while the super model leader Teyla still feels unneeded she has become somewhat less annoying in the series as well. If you have the Stargate series I say for the price these sets are going for that it's a pretty good bargain to add the five seasons of Stargate Atlantis to the shelf as well....	positive
0	um, Madonna is NOW an official Plagarizer	This album is pure trash. Madonna is a sell out, plain and simple. Her last album talking bad about policts flopped, so now she is just working with hot producers and making dance music because it is popular, she just wants money. She is a sell out. She can hardly even sing, and she is unoriginal. Most of these dongs aren't even danceable, Madonna you are almost 50, quit acting young and making this crap, it is not even good or enjoyably, SELL OUT!!	negative
0	Don't waste your money	Way too expensive for what you are getting, plus don't even think about moving to a new place with it. It was a waste of my money. It chips easily (it's pressed board).	negative
1	Fantastic Volleyball	This was a classic match with two of the best teams in the country. The level of play was amazing. If you play volleyball, this is a great match to watch.	positive
1	Down on "the farm"	In this movie, "the farm" is a training ground for new CIA agents. Robert DeNiro plays a CIA recruiter who persuades computer whiz Colin Farrell to join "the company". As a new recruit Farrell is put through rigorous training where he is told that "everything is a test" and "nothing is as it seems". He begins a relationship with Bridget Moynahan, only to be told that she is a double agent who is stealing information from the CIA. Farrell is assigned the job of catching her and bringing in the computer program that she has stolen. Things get pretty hectic from here on, but suffice it to say that this is a good evening's entertainment and the film contains plenty of twists and turns, most of which can be predicted, but which prove to be fun anyway.	positive
0	The Sopranos Road to respect	I have no clue what this game is like because the jerk I bought it from screwed me and never sent it.	negative
0	The "new Breed" of Missionary	All I can say about these Catholic priests is TOO LITTLE,TOO LATE. Here is a parable about this situation. Suppose you had a Labrador retriever that you owned for many years and really loved. Now suppose some stranger came along and before your eyes beats your dog to death, "for your own good". Now 5 years the same person comes along and says "Hey, I should not have done that. Here take this Jack Russel Terrier." Would that make the stranger a good person? Would that make up for what he did to your dog.Can a new dog of different breed make up for the brutal destruction of the one you had and loved for so many years?	negative
1	an acces for the dome	...where 'll meet the angels!Absolutly a great soundtrack with a lot of sound that remind me artist like David Darling ,This mortal coil and in any tracks the sound is desiged very close like does John Carpenter and Alan Howarth in the past...But far from this tecnichal consideration there are the emotions that this music gave me ,wrap up my heart and my mind.Approach/dream and Over the Bend are amazing and Bium Bium Bambalo is cinematic like Cameron Crowe found on Njosvelin on the Vanilla sky end Title...Don't lost it.........	positive
1	Forget Harry Porter	This is one of the best children's book I've ever read. Most of the books written by the Scandinavian children's writers never make it to the US -- which is too bad. These books are very well-written they are not "scary" and have really sophisticated plots that make a child think.	positive
0	I thought it would be different	The intructors areant that motiviating. I dont really like the intructors because they instruct with almost to life in their voices or in their eyes. Everytime I do my workout they look more like female robots than real people. It is a fast workout and will take time to adjust to the movements. It would be a good idea to preview before you buy!	negative
1	Wonderful movie for the whole family	I attended a screening of this movie last night with my 26 month old son. There were kids of all ages in the theater and every single one was mesmorized by this film. The story line doesn't wander about and will keep the attention of even the little ones. I liked the fact that the story was easy to follow even if you haven't seen the first Brother Bear. The songs were beautiful - the animation was enjoyable. Kids (and adults) will walk away learning some lifelong lessons. Bravo! I hope others enjoy it as much as we did.	positive
1	Perfect	This is exactly what I was looking for. It is very easy to install these into the ceiling. I had my basement redone and the wiring all run by the contractors so the install was very easy. It sounds great! I'm very happy with this purchase.	positive
0	Just another guy who gave it 1 star to bring down the rating	If you truly wish to learn what the media elite is and what is factual news, watch FOX News Channel for Bias News and CNN for semi unbiased news, and C-SPAN for fair news.	negative
1	taut,, engaging thriller	Once again, Belsky shows his stuff in this well-written thriller, with well-drawn characters. Couldn't put it down.	positive
1	Very nice	I recently ordered this CD along with another by Shastro. He is known for his new age music(e.g. Shambala) but this is a little different. It has a distinctly Latin flavor, and I really like it. If you enjoy smooth jazz, Latin music, and new age, then this will be perfect. There's not a bad cut on the disc.	positive
0	Review-Black Dawn	Page 1 gets you excited! It sounds as if it's going to be one heck of a book. Character building is well done.....and overdone. Basically, the characters are built and the good guys die one by one...and it leaves you wondering, why? If this is a book about good vs. evil, I don't think the good guys won and I'm not really sure who the bad guy was! All in all, I was left very confused at the end of the book and wondering why this book that showed such promise fell flat on its face.	negative
0	Very dissapointed in Mr. Meyers again. And the price!	If you just need to learn the finer points of DNS or the inner workings of ethernet, you don't need this book. All you need is the web and a search engine. I was very dissapointed in this book because (like Mr. Meyers A+ book) three of every four pictures is insultingly, worthlessly simple. On page 17 for example is a picture of two human figures talking at the same time with a caption that reads "Two people talking at the same time can tell that they are not the only ones talking." Well, REALLY?! I'm not kidding. Granted it's a very simplified way to illustrate the basics of CSMA/CD but it takes up one-third of the page, and this is common. This 530 page book should only really be about 250 pages long. There is SOME good information in here, but I found the same information on the web for free. If you are completely new to the feild, Mr. Meyers two books are okay. But JUST okay.	negative
1	Finally on DVD!!!	The premier WWII documentary has finally made it to DVD. A perfect format considering the detailed insight that it delivers. A High quality production shot in 16 mm film, narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier.A must have for any WWII buff!	positive
1	Stylish, Rugged, and Inexpensive	So I've worn this watch for about 6 months now, so I have a pretty good idea of its capabilities and limitations.PROS: It looks great (minus the band). Obviously it's going to be rugged since it's a G-Shock. The hour and minute hands stand out well against the black background. While the hands get in the way of the digital information, it's only slightly and you can still make out all the details. The back-light is ample. It strikes a good balance between displaying information and not blinding you.CONS: Setting the analog hands is cumbersome, but not impossible. It just takes some time and patience. The band has an alligator-type pattern on it, which I do NOT like. They should have continued the resin material down to the clasp from the bezel. I deduct one style point from the star rating because of the band. It's borderline tacky.	positive
0	Fake Blades	I ordered the 10ct Blister Pack of Mach 3 blades and received 2 5ct packages instead. I know that I still received 10 blades, but upon further inspection of the boxes they came in, it was clearly evident that these were fakes as the boxes were VERY thin and not sturdy as the boxes that Mach 3s usually come in (I was a cashier/stockboy at CVS for 4 years through college so I have seen many of these). Also, the writing on the boxes was in French. I used a blade, and while it shaved OK, I suspect it to be counterfit. I will see how they hold up down the road, but will stick to a physical store for future purchases of these blades. FYI - I ordered these from JMart.Inc	negative
0	The engineers ruin the musicians' hard work	I love Jaco's bass playing, and have listened to it mostly through Weather Report, that's why I bought this. All music here is great, they have even managed to back up Jaco's playing from beyond bass-heaven, but the sound engineering is pretty bad. There are a lot of odd noises here and there that really drag me out of the zone where I try to enjoy the hard work the musicians have put into the making of this (musically) great tribute to Jaco. I wish I the engineer will be casted on the Apprentice, so I can see him get FIRED!	negative
0	do NOT use the bottle opener function	do not try to open a bottle with this. The blade is very sharp, and you will cut yourself trying. For the same price, get the Gerber 22-41770 Artifact Pocket Keychain Tool	negative
0	Nothing new here	this book has nothing new. It is just a compilation of other books and studies. If you are currently a financial advisor the information in this book should already be known. If you are new to the business you should find a great benefit. As I read the book I kept thinking I had read it before word by word. I am certain I did not.	negative
1	Cuisinart Toaster oven works well	I bought 1 Cuisinart toaster oven from Costco. It was the big brother to the TOB-155 model. It worked OK, but the broiler pan warped so bad when it got hot that it pushed the chicken breast into the heating element and burned it. I called Cuisinart and of course, "it's never done that before". So, I took it back and hunted some more and read all the reviews and no one mentioned the warping broiler pan. So I took a chance on this model from Amazon. I noticed the instructions said to put water in the broiler pan. It didn't say that in the instructions from the first model. Anyway, the pan does not warp as bad with the water in it. Other than that it works well. I've been using it for about 4 months and I have used most all the features. I'm satisfied with this model. I hope it lasts for awhile.	positive
0	Poor software - buggy, crashes often	They list this software as Vista compatible. Their vision of compatible is the software runs 10 minutes then crashes - if you can finish all your work in 10 minutes, you'll be fine.The drawing tools are weak, doing a simple 45 degree bend in a kitchen island is impossible. Doing something simple like putting a sink where you want it on a countertop is impossible - it always centers the sink in the space provided. If you're used to even the drawing tools in MS Powerpoint, this will be a big disappointment.	negative
1	Baby's happy place	Baby--six months old--loves this. I was worried about the benign neglect of a jumperoo, but my baby was getting restless and bored lying on his tummy or back or in a pack or a stroller... you get the idea. Now, he is able to expend some of his energy so that he can be happier on the floor getting ready to crawl. I put it in the kitchen as I get my morning coffee and he hops joyfully, playing with the toys, grinning, for about half an hour, then eats breakfast, bathes, and naps--no tears, no fuss. It's just fantastic.	positive
0	Junk Enclosure	"This Hard Drive enclosure did not work. It may have also damaged 2 of my Laptop Hard Drives. Would like compensation. The quality is junk. Very poor solder joints on most connections for the drive plug. It is junk." Tried contacting this vendor numerous time.. No reply... Don't bother with this trash vendor..	negative
1	An instant calm...	I randomly borrowed a CD from a friend just to have something new to listen to, and was lucky enough to pick one by Michael Hedges. I know his work has gotten a lot of merit for its technical aspects and arrangements, but there is something more about this CD and his others. It has this hypnotic charm which always puts me at ease. I recommend this CD from the bottom of my heart to anyone. I heard that he has recently died, and I will mourn the loss of his music as much I would mourn the loss of a close and dear friend.	positive
1	Excellent product but there's a better choice	This is an excellent product. The cards have what Avery calls "ultra-fine" perforations, which are barely discernible on the finished product. But Avery makes another similar product with what they call "clean-edge" and the edge is indeed clean and sharp with no perforations. It is Avery 5876. Check it out.Avery 5876 Two-Side Printable Clean Edge Business Cards for Laser Printers Ivory, Pack of 200	positive
1	Recommended by Penelope Fitzgerald	Penelope Fitzgerald, one of my all time favorite writers, liststhis as one of her 5 favorite books. So it must be good --	positive
0	It was hard to get motivated to read the book.	This book was different than other books that I have read. When he was telling about his past adventures, I was so wrapped up in it, that I forgot what was really wrong with him. The ending kind of dissapointed me because it was there, and then it was over.	negative
0	DISAPPOINTED	I HATE TO DISAGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEW. I BOUGHT THE CD BECAUSE I PLAN TO SEE THE MOVIE. I LOVE THE HYMS BUT THE MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS WERE QUITE DISTRACTING. FAIREST LORD JESUS, A BEAUTIFUL HYMN, SOUNDS LIKE A DANCE NUMBER. PERHAPS I AM JUST GETTING OLD. I DO HOPE EVERYONE SEES THE MOVIE.	negative
1	Saw IV	As far as a thriller with lots of blood and gross stuff this would be the one. These Saw movies all are like that. They keep you rooted to the movie to see awful thing happens next. Little hard for me to watch due to being so gross but I did and if you like that kind of thing these Saw movies are for you.	positive
1	Great Twilight Extras	I'm a big Twilight Saga fan and after reading reviews of this 3 disc version of the movie Twilight I decided to purchase it and I wasn't disappointed. I thought that the extras on the 2nd & 3rd discs were great! I'm still undecided as to if I will spend the extra money to purchase the 3 disc version of New Moon or not, but I think that for any true Twilight Saga fan the 3 disc version of the movie Twilight is a good pick. Love it!!	positive
1	stainless drainer	its larger then i thought so the end does n;t sit over the sink because i have a filter faucet on the right side of my sink i have to use a dish to collect the excess water	positive
0	Pin stuck together with tougher than light weight chocks	Took me alot of effort to get these two little chocks apart. Stress I didn't need considering I am going to be working on my car and need to focus on that. I would think something for safety would be a bit more heavy weight than these. But I sure hope they are better than nothing at all.	negative
1	Just fell short for me	I must say I was looking forward to the final book in the series. I didn't feel the same strong attachment with these characters that I felt with the first and second books. Nice ending, but just missed the mark for me.	positive
1	Solid Record With Future Room to Grow	This record has a solid set songs with the featured highlights 'Thought You Should Know' and 'Daytimers' leading the way. What I like about this record is that the lyrics are honest and the music, although not revolutionary, is full of tastefull hooks. My only complaint about the record is the length, I think Nimbus Luna could have cut out a song or two and made it a five star record instead of a four but that was there choice. It seems like this band has just hit their stride and has a room to grow in the future. I have to respect the band for selling the record at such a reasonable price it gives listeners like me the chance to try something new.	positive
1	North and South	This was a suprisingly amazing series. It had a very in depth story of 2 friends and their families. And the story went from the time the 2 friends were young until they were old. Very good.	positive
0	NOT RELIABLE	I bought one of these from a local hardware store and it was a waste of my money. It won't hold very many wet (heavy) clothes 40 ft of line isn't useful if you can't hang 40ft of clothing. it constantly pulled out of the wall until my husband finally anchored it in then the bit which comes out of the dispenser and wraps around the bottom to lock in place (that bottom part that you wrap the line around) it broke off completely and my clothes came crashing to the floor. I don't recommend it for anyone who does serious line drying. I only use my dryer for jeans and towels this product was a bad investment for me.	negative
1	Dazed and confuzed!	I like the picture quality of this product very much but hooking it up to my JVC 52" D-ILA was a 2 week hit and miss project. No matter what, I just couldnt get the picture from the VCR portion to appear on the screen until yesterday. I finally concluded that the problem was in the hand control which could be a lot more simple and still be effective without the need to have a degree in engineering. All in all, I would buy something much cheaper and put the extra cash to better use. Just not enough difference in picture quality for me for the $$.	positive
0	What happened to Ann?	What happened to Ann of Greengables? She had red hair, she was a skinny preteen. Why does she look like a blonde twenty year old. Great books, crappy cover, buying from a different publisher.	negative
1	Coming of Age?	While this movie is about a young teen coming of age it also deals with several hard core issues: for example peer pressure, drugs,child abuse. While I would recommend people see this I would suggest that a parent be in the room to answer some hard questions.Only problem I had with this move is its rating. IF I were going to give this a rating it would be an "R" due to its graphic language and adult content	positive
0	Ms	I was so disappointed. Your description clearly states that this teapot was made in the USA and it was not. I didn't even bother opening it up - I just resealed the big box and sent it back. Why would you intentionally not tell the truth and waste my time.Anne	negative
0	Retained Mode is Dead	Why write a book about D3D RM. It's dead, Microsoft dropped it. Makes this book a big pass.	negative
0	Useless	I had this machine for just a few days before I gave up and took it back to the store. I'm going back to a broom and a mop, it'll save me time AND energy. The vaccuum is too close to the floor to pick up large particles in "dry" mode, and not close enough to pick up all of the water in "wet" mode. I'm seriously disappointed, and could think of much better ways to spend $160.	negative
1	Good Companion Piece	I read this book soon after I had seen the A&E mini-series. Reading the book after watching the series gave me a better appreciation for the dialect(s) Hardy uses throughout the novel which could be a little difficult to decipher. Very good book overall.	positive
1	Classic Slipcovers Printed Classic Stripe Canvas Chair Slipcover, Red	Lovely...a perfect match and color. Fit my chair well to match my sofa. I would recommend this product. Quality is very good.	positive
0	marketing case study	Crossroads is a miserable book. Just awful. There is no follow up to Rand's supposed cleansing of the source or anything that the series was originally about. Jordan, for whatever bizarre reasons of his own, chooses to focus on the absolute worst storyline in the series: the once likeable Perrin and his tiresome wench Faile. The Mat backstory barely redeems the book, because it takes 200+ pages to tell what should have taken 20.It is eerie how checked out the editors at TOR are. Have they, like, not read the last 4 books, much less edited them? I think this series is a case study in marketing a fading brand -- when quality fails you fall back and cannibalize your loyal customer base with new, similar products. ...	negative
0	Extremely dissapointed !	I just received the earphones and tried it with my i-pod. The sound quality , the design and the overall quality is far below what I had expected. First of all, it does not sit on my neck, it keeps falling down my ears. My old ugly earbuds were much better in terms of sound quality. You dont feel the bass. there is something wrong with this stuff. i may return it soon.	negative
0	MSG MSG MSG	The product description neglects to inform the consumer that this Lipton Recipe Secrets mix contains MSG (monosodium glutamate).

0	Inside the Jewelry Box -	Ann Mitchell Pitman has included numerous pieces of jewelry in her book, from a wide array of designers.

1	Good product, but misleading	Overall this is a pretty good thing to buy for your Palm. Especially if you are sick of all those fingerprints on your screen! But, the writeright screen protecters are great for graffiti recognition but decrease screen readability by 10 fold. But, if you just cut them to fit the graffiti area they are great! And also note that there are not 12 writerights there are four for Palms, four for just the Palm V, and four for CE divices. The BrainWASH concept is great and makes your screen look like new! Enjoy and note the great price here on Amazon!	positive
1	Very Much Alive	A rabid fan or not of the Director or Johnny Depp, this film is worth viewing for its courageousness, risk and overall success. A mood piece with the varying landscapes serving to set tone, the actors all have an understated approach to their performances, even when the script, or ad libbing would have made an over the top performance too easy. A film in which Iggy Pop can play a clearly feminine "man" with some believability, though suspension of belief in the rational world is an good attribute to have when viewing this picture, makes this a successful film. No in between here though, you will either see it and not choose to see it again, or buy it and watch it over and over. Its got a hook - watch out!	positive

If you are non-academic, then the third book is the one for you.	positive
0	I wish I could pick zero stars for this piece of junk!!	Unfortunately, when I bought this thing it was new on the market, so the horror stories that are seemingly abundant now weren't around to warn me off back then. Needless to say, I have been plagued by problems with my pmc-120 from quite early on. My pmc has since totally died and despite testing with new batteries etc, turns on but does not respond.... Rubbish!! considering I paid $300+ this is unacceptable.To add insult to injury, iriver North America has not responded to my emails. Therefore, the warranty I paid for is effectively useless.Please don't buy this product. There are other portable media centers out there, like the toshiba gigabeat and the DreamEo, but I'm really not sure if they're any good either!!

The emotion overflows from one song to the other and cresendoes in undulations.This is one of the best albums I've ever listened to.	positive

If this problem was fixed, it would be a very valuable resource. As it is, it's worth having, but an aggravating read.This book, in its entirety, is available as a free E-book on Google.	negative

A disappointment

I've read most of the Hemlock Falls mysteries and have enjoyed them. But this one has a disjointed plot. There are loose ends that go nowhere; serious questions are unanswered; and the mystery is solved only with 2 revelations out of left field at the end. It looks as if the author (and her editors) fell down on this one.It's a good thing that most of the others are much better.

Falls short on what it could have been.

I had high hopes for this book. I do believe in primal leadership, that there is a real, biological basis to what does and doesn't work in leadership. Basically leadership is going from an art to a science, and it's this biologically based approach which will get us there.The problem with this book is that it's needlessly fluffy. There are lots of "case studies" with quite frankly poor science in them. I got discouraged to see the text stay so high level, and make grand statements without backing them up.What I was left with was a number of "you should do this" statements, but without enough specifics on why or how to be useful. It's too bad because the concept of primal leadership is great. For some reason Goleman didn't deliver.Where to go? Maybe check out "Working with Emotional Intelligence" by Goleman, which is pretty good.

Audacious and promising

If Rufus Wainwright is too "out there" for you, don't even touch this CD. Leave it alone.However, if you are open-minded and enjoy infectious, brilliant music without worrying too much about categorizing it, PICK THIS UP. Mika had me from the first song (the outstanding single "Grace Kelly"...like the bastard child of David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, and Elton John, what a great song!)Throughout the rest of the album, he shows great musicmanship and range (there are ballads, rockers, disco tunes, electronic tunes...all over the map!)...the common component is that this guy just writes really great songs (plus there's his voice...almost a dead ringer for Freddy Mercury, and GREAT use of falsetto....)Get this one, it's good...can't wait to hear more from Mika.

Fun World needs to upgrade their putty or take this product off the market! what a waste of time and ten dollars.

Many ideas for designing small areas near small houses

(4.5 Stars) I can see from the other reviews that there exist a wide range of opinions about this book. I fall on the high side, I suppose. I enjoyed the large number of photos and ideas for landscaping small areas - spots even - in the yard around a smaller home.One, rather unreal aspect was that, most of the homes pictured are modern homes with interesting custom architecture. Some of us live in simple ranch-styles (boxes).Julie's training and interest in architecture does come through, but I did not find it distracting. In fact, I found the emphasis on the relationship between the interior design of the home and landscape as seen from inside very useful. Most landscaping books present only the view TOWARD the house, not FROM it.I got several good ideas from this book and learned a bit about design.

horrible book

Kelly is one of the worst JLA writers ever, he has a native american character who is a walking stereotype hwo can't do anything but show up and beat the bad guys or cry over his people building casinos, never mind the casinos provide funding for the tribe that is badly needed, no this writer does not know how to play fair in his stories.we have stories bashign the president and the war that are so badly done they suck any fun out of the story and come off like some horrible propaganda, i am not argung the views but how he did it, they stick out like a sore thumb instead of being subtle and are badly one sided.the rest of the stories are average at best, nothing to see here that is important, you would be better off buying some Morrison JLA or Waid, but skip this, i have every JLA of this run up to 100 and the best i can say about this writer is the next 3 make him look almost good..almost.

Alastair Sim's "A Christmas Carol" is by far the greatest version of the movie. The actors are great and the age of the movie really gets you ready for Christmas, it's warm & cozy. Personally, I like the black & white better but it's nice to have both. Highly recommend.

I bought this set to have some extra sockets around the house. I was hopeful this would be a great product, but unfortunately, it's not.

Good read but get ready to be depressed and/or angry

The book does a good job of explaining what happened in Rwanda and the author makes a good attempt at trying to understand and explain the reasoning behind the genocide. He makes it very clear that the West was quite hypocritical in its actions (or lack of) and bundled big time. He also does a good job in explaining what happened before and after the massacres, not just the massacres themselves.I also recommend checking out the Frontline show on Rwanda, which just as interesting as this book.

Round and Round

I would like to put 4.5 stars but cannot.This book was definitely worth my time. Everyone knows who Magellan is, but very few know the details of his voyage. This book fills in all the gaps of your history textbook and brings the story alive. Thankfully the story of securing the voyage and the political machinations involved is fairly quick and the author gets right to Magellan's voyage. The more that you read the better the book gets.I highly recommend this book both for entertainment and enlightenment about an important part of history.My one criticism is that the author neglects to use maps in the book. Maybe this is to have the reader feel just like the men on this voyage - utterly lost as to where they are. Make sure that you have an Atlas to refer to as you read this book.

Two of the best albums on one Disc!

These two albums "A Lot to Fear," and "Plant a Tree or Die," are the first efforts (and arguably the best), from the environmentally active Boston Hardcore band TREE. The sound is heavy and raw, the breakdowns are clever, the lyrics thought provoking and energized. In their heyday TREE toured with Clutch. One listen to this disc and you'll see why. It'll leave you nodding your head long after the last track ends.

But, after purchasing it and working with it for a few hours, I found it to be terribly inconsistent on the hills, if not non-existent. The documentation suggests that you re-position the transmitter, but sometimes it's just not possible.If your yard is anything but flat, or a very gentle slope, DO NOT PURCHASE this item!

Getting Somewhat Better As The Series Goes Along

While this series hasn't reached the level as its predecessor overall the series does grow in entertainment and quality per episode, especially as we get some screen time with some of the other background characters in the series as well. While the Wraith remain the primary enemy on the series we also get some intrusion from past enemies as well from G'aould to the Replicators as well as some cameo time from some of the SG1 team members too. While Shepard is no Jack O'Neill he has started getting his own personality it seems that fits the series well and while the super model leader Teyla still feels unneeded she has become somewhat less annoying in the series as well. If you have the Stargate series I say for the price these sets are going for that it's a pretty good bargain to add the five seasons of Stargate Atlantis to the shelf as well....

Down on "the farm"

In this movie, "the farm" is a training ground for new CIA agents. Robert DeNiro plays a CIA recruiter who persuades computer whiz Colin Farrell to join "the company". As a new recruit Farrell is put through rigorous training where he is told that "everything is a test" and "nothing is as it seems". He begins a relationship with Bridget Moynahan, only to be told that she is a double agent who is stealing information from the CIA. Farrell is assigned the job of catching her and bringing in the computer program that she has stolen. Things get pretty hectic from here on, but suffice it to say that this is a good evening's entertainment and the film contains plenty of twists and turns, most of which can be predicted, but which prove to be fun anyway.

All I can say about these Catholic priests is TOO LITTLE,TOO LATE. Here is a parable about this situation. Suppose you had a Labrador retriever that you owned for many years and really loved. Now suppose some stranger came along and before your eyes beats your dog to death, "for your own good". Now 5 years the same person comes along and says "Hey, I should not have done that. Here take this Jack Russel Terrier." Would that make the stranger a good person? Would that make up for what he did to your dog.Can a new dog of different breed make up for the brutal destruction of the one you had and loved for so many years?

Wonderful movie for the whole family

I attended a screening of this movie last night with my 26 month old son. There were kids of all ages in the theater and every single one was mesmorized by this film. The story line doesn't wander about and will keep the attention of even the little ones. I liked the fact that the story was easy to follow even if you haven't seen the first Brother Bear. The songs were beautiful - the animation was enjoyable. Kids (and adults) will walk away learning some lifelong lessons. Bravo! I hope others enjoy it as much as we did.

Review-Black Dawn

Page 1 gets you excited! It sounds as if it's going to be one heck of a book. Character building is well done.....and overdone. Basically, the characters are built and the good guys die one by one...and it leaves you wondering, why? If this is a book about good vs. evil, I don't think the good guys won and I'm not really sure who the bad guy was! All in all, I was left very confused at the end of the book and wondering why this book that showed such promise fell flat on its face.

Very dissapointed in Mr. Meyers again. And the price!

If you just need to learn the finer points of DNS or the inner workings of ethernet, you don't need this book. All you need is the web and a search engine. I was very dissapointed in this book because (like Mr. Meyers A+ book) three of every four pictures is insultingly, worthlessly simple. On page 17 for example is a picture of two human figures talking at the same time with a caption that reads "Two people talking at the same time can tell that they are not the only ones talking." Well, REALLY?! I'm not kidding. Granted it's a very simplified way to illustrate the basics of CSMA/CD but it takes up one-third of the page, and this is common. This 530 page book should only really be about 250 pages long. There is SOME good information in here, but I found the same information on the web for free. If you are completely new to the feild, Mr. Meyers two books are okay. But JUST okay.

Stylish, Rugged, and Inexpensive

So I've worn this watch for about 6 months now, so I have a pretty good idea of its capabilities and limitations.PROS: It looks great (minus the band). Obviously it's going to be rugged since it's a G-Shock. The hour and minute hands stand out well against the black background. While the hands get in the way of the digital information, it's only slightly and you can still make out all the details. The back-light is ample. It strikes a good balance between displaying information and not blinding you.CONS: Setting the analog hands is cumbersome, but not impossible. It just takes some time and patience. The band has an alligator-type pattern on it, which I do NOT like. They should have continued the resin material down to the clasp from the bezel. I deduct one style point from the star rating because of the band. It's borderline tacky.

Fake Blades

I ordered the 10ct Blister Pack of Mach 3 blades and received 2 5ct packages instead. I know that I still received 10 blades, but upon further inspection of the boxes they came in, it was clearly evident that these were fakes as the boxes were VERY thin and not sturdy as the boxes that Mach 3s usually come in (I was a cashier/stockboy at CVS for 4 years through college so I have seen many of these). Also, the writing on the boxes was in French. I used a blade, and while it shaved OK, I suspect it to be counterfit. I will see how they hold up down the road, but will stick to a physical store for future purchases of these blades. FYI - I ordered these from JMart.Inc

The engineers ruin the musicians' hard work

I love Jaco's bass playing, and have listened to it mostly through Weather Report, that's why I bought this. All music here is great, they have even managed to back up Jaco's playing from beyond bass-heaven, but the sound engineering is pretty bad. There are a lot of odd noises here and there that really drag me out of the zone where I try to enjoy the hard work the musicians have put into the making of this (musically) great tribute to Jaco. I wish I the engineer will be casted on the Apprentice, so I can see him get FIRED!

Cuisinart Toaster oven works well

I bought 1 Cuisinart toaster oven from Costco. It was the big brother to the TOB-155 model. It worked OK, but the broiler pan warped so bad when it got hot that it pushed the chicken breast into the heating element and burned it. I called Cuisinart and of course, "it's never done that before". So, I took it back and hunted some more and read all the reviews and no one mentioned the warping broiler pan. So I took a chance on this model from Amazon. I noticed the instructions said to put water in the broiler pan. It didn't say that in the instructions from the first model. Anyway, the pan does not warp as bad with the water in it. Other than that it works well. I've been using it for about 4 months and I have used most all the features. I'm satisfied with this model. I hope it lasts for awhile.

Poor software - buggy, crashes often

They list this software as Vista compatible. Their vision of compatible is the software runs 10 minutes then crashes - if you can finish all your work in 10 minutes, you'll be fine.The drawing tools are weak, doing a simple 45 degree bend in a kitchen island is impossible. Doing something simple like putting a sink where you want it on a countertop is impossible - it always centers the sink in the space provided. If you're used to even the drawing tools in MS Powerpoint, this will be a big disappointment.

Baby's happy place

Baby--six months old--loves this. I was worried about the benign neglect of a jumperoo, but my baby was getting restless and bored lying on his tummy or back or in a pack or a stroller... you get the idea. Now, he is able to expend some of his energy so that he can be happier on the floor getting ready to crawl. I put it in the kitchen as I get my morning coffee and he hops joyfully, playing with the toys, grinning, for about half an hour, then eats breakfast, bathes, and naps--no tears, no fuss.

Junk Enclosure

"This Hard Drive enclosure did not work. It may have also damaged 2 of my Laptop Hard Drives. Would like compensation. The quality is junk. Very poor solder joints on most connections for the drive plug. It is junk." Tried contacting this vendor numerous time.. No reply... Don't bother with this trash vendor..

An instant calm...

I randomly borrowed a CD from a friend just to have something new to listen to, and was lucky enough to pick one by Michael Hedges. I know his work has gotten a lot of merit for its technical aspects and arrangements, but there is something more about this CD and his others. It has this hypnotic charm which always puts me at ease. I recommend this CD from the bottom of my heart to anyone. I heard that he has recently died, and I will mourn the loss of his music as much I would mourn the loss of a close and dear friend.

Excellent product but there's a better choice

This is an excellent product. The cards have what Avery calls "ultra-fine" perforations, which are barely discernible on the finished product. But Avery makes another similar product with what they call "clean-edge" and the edge is indeed clean and sharp with no perforations. It is Avery 5876. Check it out.Avery 5876 Two-Side Printable Clean Edge Business Cards for Laser Printers Ivory, Pack of 200

It was hard to get motivated to read the book.

This book was different than other books that I have read. When he was telling about his past adventures, I was so wrapped up in it, that I forgot what was really wrong with him. The ending kind of dissapointed me because it was there, and then it was over.

DISAPPOINTED

I HATE TO DISAGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEW. I BOUGHT THE CD BECAUSE I PLAN TO SEE THE MOVIE. I LOVE THE HYMS BUT THE MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS WERE QUITE DISTRACTING. FAIREST LORD JESUS, A BEAUTIFUL HYMN, SOUNDS LIKE A DANCE NUMBER. PERHAPS I AM JUST GETTING OLD. I DO HOPE EVERYONE SEES THE MOVIE.

Saw IV

As far as a thriller with lots of blood and gross stuff this would be the one. These Saw movies all are like that. They keep you rooted to the movie to see awful thing happens next. Little hard for me to watch due to being so gross but I did and if you like that kind of thing these Saw movies are for you.

Great Twilight Extras

I'm a big Twilight Saga fan and after reading reviews of this 3 disc version of the movie Twilight I decided to purchase it and I wasn't disappointed. I thought that the extras on the 2nd & 3rd discs were great! I'm still undecided as to if I will spend the extra money to purchase the 3 disc version of New Moon or not, but I think that for any true Twilight Saga fan the 3 disc version of the movie Twilight is a good pick. Love it!!

Pin stuck together with tougher than light weight chocks

Took me alot of effort to get these two little chocks apart. Stress I didn't need considering I am going to be working on my car and need to focus on that. I would think something for safety would be a bit more heavy weight than these. But I sure hope they are better than nothing at all.

Just fell short for me

I must say I was looking forward to the final book in the series. I didn't feel the same strong attachment with these characters that I felt with the first and second books. Nice ending, but just missed the mark for me.

Solid Record With Future Room to Grow

This record has a solid set songs with the featured highlights 'Thought You Should Know' and 'Daytimers' leading the way. What I like about this record is that the lyrics are honest and the music, although not revolutionary, is full of tastefull hooks. My only complaint about the record is the length, I think Nimbus Luna could have cut out a song or two and made it a five star record instead of a four but that was there choice. It seems like this band has just hit their stride and has a room to grow in the future. I have to respect the band for selling the record at such a reasonable price it gives listeners like me the chance to try something new.

This was a suprisingly amazing series. It had a very in depth story of 2 friends and their families. And the story went from the time the 2 friends were young until they were old. Very good.

NOT RELIABLE

I bought one of these from a local hardware store and it was a waste of my money. It won't hold very many wet (heavy) clothes 40 ft of line isn't useful if you can't hang 40ft of clothing. it constantly pulled out of the wall until my husband finally anchored it in then the bit which comes out of the dispenser and wraps around the bottom to lock in place (that bottom part that you wrap the line around) it broke off completely and my clothes came crashing to the floor. I don't recommend it for anyone who does serious line drying. I only use my dryer for jeans and towels this product was a bad investment for me.

Dazed and confuzed!

I like the picture quality of this product very much but hooking it up to my JVC 52" D-ILA was a 2 week hit and miss project. No matter what, I just couldnt get the picture from the VCR portion to appear on the screen until yesterday. I finally concluded that the problem was in the hand control which could be a lot more simple and still be effective without the need to have a degree in engineering. All in all, I would buy something much cheaper and put the extra cash to better use. Just not enough difference in picture quality for me for the $$.

Coming of Age?

While this movie is about a young teen coming of age it also deals with several hard core issues: for example peer pressure, drugs,child abuse. While I would recommend people see this I would suggest that a parent be in the room to answer some hard questions.Only problem I had with this move is its rating. IF I were going to give this a rating it would be an "R" due to its graphic language and adult content

Useless

I had this machine for just a few days before I gave up and took it back to the store. I'm going back to a broom and a mop, it'll save me time AND energy. The vaccuum is too close to the floor to pick up large particles in "dry" mode, and not close enough to pick up all of the water in "wet" mode. I'm seriously disappointed, and could think of much better ways to spend $160.

marketing case study

Crossroads is a miserable book. Just awful. There is no follow up to Rand's supposed cleansing of the source or anything that the series was originally about. Jordan, for whatever bizarre reasons of his own, chooses to focus on the absolute worst storyline in the series: the once likeable Perrin and his tiresome wench Faile. The Mat backstory barely redeems the book, because it takes 200+ pages to tell what should have taken 20.It is eerie how checked out the editors at TOR are. Have they, like, not read the last 4 books, much less edited them? I think this series is a case study in marketing a fading brand -- when quality fails you fall back and cannibalize your loyal customer base with new, similar products. ...

Extremely dissapointed !

I just received the earphones and tried it with my i-pod. The sound quality , the design and the overall quality is far below what I had expected. First of all, it does not sit on my neck, it keeps falling down my ears. My old ugly earbuds were much better in terms of sound quality. You dont feel the bass. there is something wrong with this stuff. i may return it soon.

MSG MSG MSG

The product description neglects to inform the consumer that this Lipton Recipe Secrets mix contains MSG (monosodium glutamate). After calling Lipton to inquire why they still include this questionable chemical, I was told the kosher equivalent of this product (Lipton Recipe Secrets Kosher), does not contain MSG.

Annoying overheating that shuts down the machine without warning.

This machine is upgradeable Vista except for one missing driver which doesn't affect anything. Cetainly not worth $800. I replaced mine with a brand new Satellite A135-S4656 for $350! This replacement is tough and I lug it around quite a bit.

Inside the Jewelry Box -

Ann Mitchell Pitman has included numerous pieces of jewelry in her book, from a wide array of designers. However, the photograpgy does not do the jewelry justice, and the lack of dating for most of the pieces is no help for the beginning collector. With all of the excellent books being published these days for collectors of costume jewelry, this book would not be my first choice.

Good product, but misleading

Overall this is a pretty good thing to buy for your Palm. Especially if you are sick of all those fingerprints on your screen! But, the writeright screen protecters are great for graffiti recognition but decrease screen readability by 10 fold. But, if you just cut them to fit the graffiti area they are great! And also note that there are not 12 writerights there are four for Palms, four for just the Palm V, and four for CE divices. The BrainWASH concept is great and makes your screen look like new! Enjoy and note the great price here on Amazon!

Very Much Alive

A rabid fan or not of the Director or Johnny Depp, this film is worth viewing for its courageousness, risk and overall success. A mood piece with the varying landscapes serving to set tone, the actors all have an understated approach to their performances, even when the script, or ad libbing would have made an over the top performance too easy. A film in which Iggy Pop can play a clearly feminine "man" with some believability, though suspension of belief in the rational world is an good attribute to have when viewing this picture, makes this a successful film. No in between here though, you will either see it and not choose to see it again, or buy it and watch it over and over. Its got a hook - watch out!

I picked up this book after reading the Virgin Suicides about a year ago. I'm so glad I got it over the summer because I could not put it down-and I am easily distracted!!

This is a graduate-level academic text

This is one of at least three books you need if you are doing academic research on intrusion detection. This book is a graduate-level text with theory and references. The second book you will need isIntrusion Detection (MTP)which also contains theory and references, but from a different angle. The third book you will need isNetwork Intrusion Detection (3rd Edition) (Voices (New Riders))which explains how to actually practice intrusion detection, but without unnecessary theory and references. If you are non-academic, then the third book is the one for you.

I wish I could pick zero stars for this piece of junk!!

Unfortunately, when I bought this thing it was new on the market, so the horror stories that are seemingly abundant now weren't around to warn me off back then. Needless to say, I have been plagued by problems with my pmc-120 from quite early on. My pmc has since totally died and despite testing with new batteries etc, turns on but does not respond.... Rubbish!! considering I paid $300+ this is unacceptable.To add insult to injury, iriver North America has not responded to my emails. Therefore, the warranty I paid for is effectively useless.Please don't buy this product. There are other portable media centers out there, like the toshiba gigabeat and the DreamEo, but I'm really not sure if they're any good either!! Like others here, I am doing my utmost to warn people away from making the mistake of buying one of these infernal contraptions.A7

***Blackout***You'll***Wish***

When a movie panders to the star's appeal in one useless elongated opening shower scene, you should know what to expect ahead. Kate's tough gal schtick ran out its welcome not long after she opened her mouth.The unimaginative appearances of the killer, red herring, trap hole, mind-(D)umbing final twist and the 'whiteout', GEEZ.... can these elements be more stupifying cinematically in their timing? Then again, this is the same uber-auteur for Gone in 60 Seconds and Swordfish.One star for the Antarctica setting and one star for the scientists who ran across the pond naked. Who said geeks can't party? Too bad I didnt while watching this, maybe I would have blacked out this crapola.

A hot iron

So far so good. I haven't bought a new iron in 20 years, when I bought one at a flea market that was probably 20 years old then. It was the old heavy kind, and I doubted if a "new-fangled" one would be as good. But alas, it is. Very fast warm-up, and has a substantial feel, which is what so many new irons seems to lack.

A New Fan

I just listened to this album for the first time yesterday, and since I have listened twice more. The complexity of each song is completely astounding; the way it flows and every instrument harmonizes perfectly is so soothing, it almost seems simple if listened to casually. The album is heartbreaking and singular and upliftingly dreary. The emotion overflows from one song to the other and cresendoes in undulations.This is one of the best albums I've ever listened to.

Cheap sheets, still nice.

I think these were RL knockoffs but it's ok because they were nice while they lasted. I had them about a year and half before the seams started to rip on them despite my extremely gentle care. I suppose they just weren't the type to hold up. I'm giving them 4 stars because while they may not have held up through a long period of time they were great sheets while they lasted.
