It works very well and is reasonably priced. I am not real picky though. I like how it automatically goes into standby mode to save energy.

Not worth $1.00
The cuff is not an adult size. The balloon inside seems too small and as you start to pump the balloon is full at 20 and the velcro is coming apart. I dont recommend this product.

Disappointing
Because I could find the Baseball America Handbook and having seen one of my classmates with it, I decided to acquire it. Although it is not a completely waste, it is disappointing.First of all, stats like wins, saves etc. are not listed. I think it is important to have some idea of the basic statistics. Secondly, I do not like the organization of players. They list players who have changed teams on their old teams, keep pitchers and position players separate which can be hard to follow at times.My biggest complaint though is the fact that they seem convinced that they know everything and that they are funny. As a result, there are quite a few snarky comments when describing players like Alejandro Machado (Nationals) that is not even close to informative and their attacks on Pat Gillick and Jim Bowden are nothing short of vicious.For a prospect handbook, this is disappointing.

Beautiful, Haunting, a Must-Have
This music is, for lack of a better term, cinematic. When playing Shadow of the Colossus, it feels for a few brief moments like one is the star of an epic film. The music brings all these feelings and memories rushing back; the terror of a behemoth's hoof hovering just overhead, the fear of losing one's grip whilst dangling two stories above the ground, the shaking of the earth, the whirling of the wind. SotC was very much an experience. The music made the experience even more powerful.This music is so satisfying and inspiring... an unparalleled orchestral score, and most certainly a must-buy.

Always wanted on of these for our home. Great when you are looking for an appropriate quote to fit any occasion. I ordered this one used. It is a bit battered on the edges and was inscribed on the inside, but it gives the book character.

Fellows Keyboard holder with mouse tray
The product was bought to replace our current keyboard trays which do not have the mouse support. After installation, I found the product was not as adjustable as our previous ones. The tray that holds the keyboard I think is too heavy for this application and the mouse tray is way to low. The adjustment knob requires to much effort to make an adjustment and with the keyboard tray being heavy, makes it even more cumbersome.

One of the best books I have ever read!
I loved Eight Spells a Week! It was wonderful. The book is compiled by bestselling Sabrina the Teenage Witch authors. It is split into 8 chapters/days. Sunday-Sunday. On Sunday, Sabrina breaks a mirror and prepares herself for a week of bad luck and 7 temptations. Monday, she loses a very important interview. Tuesday, Harvey is hanging around with some other girl whom Sabrina is envious of. Wednesday, Sabrina and Harvey (also Salem) go to France, but Harvey thinks it's a dream and does some pretty weird stuff! Thursday, Sabrina is forced to make Puzzle Babies which totally drives her crazy. Friday, she ruins the school play. Saturday, she sees into the future and sees a terrible one! Finally, Sabrina thinks her week of bad luck. But her all-time worst temptation is yet to come... I enjoyed this book a LOT. After reading this one, I'm determined to reading the whole series!

Well Worth Reading
I don't think it would be possible to give a Susanna Kearsley novel less than 4 stars. One of the best things about her novels is that she paints such a vivid picture of the setting that you feel that you are really there. Her characters are equally vivid and realistic that you almost could believe they're you're best friends. Verity, David, and the whole cast of characters are amazingly well written and the dialogue is fun and witty. That being said, this is not my favorite Susanna Kearsley novel. I much preferred Mariana, Rose Garden, and Winter Sea. The mystery of the ghost story doesn't quite have the same level of intrigue that the other stories have. Also, I would have liked to see more of the romance. Still, it's well worth reading.

THAT PHUNKY CYPRESS HILL CLICK
I've been a Cypress Hill fan since day one, this DVD catches their career expanding music videos, all of which are stylish and fresh, my only complaint is that most the songs are censored as far as cuss words go, with the exception of two and the bonus live tracks(Hits from the bong being my fav. live track...they pull out a 4 foot bongzilla on stage and have a fan take a rip off it)...the DVD also comes with a short documentary about the group, anyways buy this DVD, even used, you wont regret it.PEACE

6 years of wanting to replace this...wishing it would DIE...
The ONE redeemable quality-We have owned this for 6 years(got as a wedding gift) and it will still open cans...BUTProblems I have--Takes a few tries to get can on the blade right. All in all I could deal with this...if it were the only issue!-cuts the paper making it so I have to pick out pieces after taking it off the opener, or remove label before opening(not something I care to take time to do) or just leave the "added fiber" for us to ingest(gross!!).-Magnet rarely ever catches the lid so I either have to get a knife dirty to pry it out of the can, or risk slicing my finger to pull it out.-button that starts and presumably stops the can opener gets stuck ALL.THE.TIME. and is basically impossible to clean since it is not suppose to be submerged and simply wiping after use doesn't work, because the liquid gets down into the machine where you can't get to it without destroying the opener.

An inspiration
I have perused the various reviews of this book and find it amazing how varied they seem to be. Apparently this is one of those books (that are few and far between these days) that just does not fit the usual mold. I happen to have loved the book, I have read it so many times the cover is ragged. It speaks to me of hope in the face of adversity and reminds me that I have a responsiblity to give back good in this world. I know a bit preachy but it is what I feel. I loved every character in this book, even the bad guy. He was such a narcisistic fool. He made me laugh more than once. There are quirky characters that even though their roles were minor have a major impact on the "big picture". This book brought forth tears and laughter, smiles... It was one of the few books that I own that I actually have loaned out. And I only did this because I knew that it brightened my view of the world and reminded me that there is always hope.

Annoying music
We bought this for our seven month old. She is a little young for the hammer part, but loves to push the buttons. The music is annoying, so we keep that turned off. The other problem I have is that the buttons push down close to the back of the tool bench. Her little fingers have gotten caught between the button and the bench (which leads to a bit of screaming) I would not recommend this toy because of that for younger children.

Most horrible audio ever
Protesters on the way to a rally get caught in a civil war and film a civilian slaughter. They are seen, the guide is killed and the remaining protesters are hunted down. Plot is week, alot of violence and the students seem to have the survival instincts of lemmings. The combat scenes are fairly well done, lots of ethnic hatred. The absolute worst about this movie is the audio. The movie sounds like it was recorded by a cheap toy microphone that has a short. The background music eclipses the actors several time and a lot of the conversations are barely audible. Its not the worst movie I've ever watched, the filming was well done and the actors had some talent, but on the whole I'd suggest finding another movie.

I am impressed with the design and appearance of this Notebook Cooler, but unfortunately it just does not work. I have used iStat Pro to measure the temperature of my processors before and after using the cooler. No difference at all.

Not only are the visuals beautifuly presented, the two main stars are great on the eyes. Nicole Kidman looks and sounds spectacular, the same can be said for Ewan Mcgregor who has a great boyish charm about him. The chemistry between the stars is wonderful and the songs make you want to get up and dance. Overall a very enterntaining and beautiful love story. Im sure I will be watching it numerous times.

Best Songs from Weird Al
This may not have songs like, "Yoda," "The Saga Begins," or "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi," but you should see him parody Michael Jackson and Madonna! But by far, the best music video on this, is "Amish Paradise". This is one of the best music videos ever made. Not a very good menu, with nothing to do but watch music videos, but who cares?! All you people who are whining about the menu, and not having restored the image on some of them, shut up! You call yourselves Weird Al fans?! You should be ashamed!

Mandatory Reading for Americans
See No Evil is a powerful and educating account of Baer's experiences and findings during his 21-year stint with the CIA. I strongly encourage those Americans who currently oppose any military action against Iraq to read this book. Then, maybe the invasion opposition can make an EDUCATED decision on their political stance. Terrific book!

A little thin/light - but for the price a great buy for sure. The finish is beautiful. Oven safe to 500, and the shape is great for boiling pasta, cooking soup or braising (it's wider than it is tall - which I like for a general use pot.) I really like the glass lid.

The charge on this unit didn't last long enough to shave one 3/4 length sweater coat - and that's with the unit plugged in the whole time.

Green Day has totally mainstream with this album, which disappointed me. New fans who have never heard Green Day before will love the new Green Day, and hate the old Green Day because their older music is much different than this new album. I am extremely disappointed, for this album is pure pop-punk and none of the songs are even really that good. Green Day has sold out with this album. Check out their older albums, they are much better worth listening to if you like REAL punk music.

I have used this balm for years, but this is not the same product. It is white instead of the creme color, and is nearly fragrance-less, missing the "Obsession" fragrance of the original product. If you expect the original after shave balm, don't order this; you'll be disappointed.

Early Purple, Best Purple
I love this album. I thoroughly enjoy the early recordings of this band. They created their own remarkable versions of other artists songs of the 60's and we loved it then. I still love it now and had to get the CD, the ol' 8 track is wore out. Of course they had their original hit "HUSH" which is a classic great too. I highly recommend this album to anyone that wants to enjoy 60's music at its best.

I have listened to this album non-stop since purchasing
Between the Dim and the Dark is an amazing album. period. Jay Clifford's exceptional vocal and heartfelt songwriting talent go to prove there is still hard work put into to an industry ruled by "Clay Aikin's" and "Kelly Clarkson's." Not many Cd's get a place in my collection of thousands where it is spun so often, "Dim and the Dark" may just earn a permanent spot in my 3 disc changer. Key tracks: "Mexico" "Rains in Asia" "Requium" "Hold you Down" and "Midnight." That ends up to be HALF of this fantastic album. Purchasing this album will not disappoint you in the least.For Fans of: Howie Day, Matt Nathanson, Gavin DeGraw, Rosebud, Candy Butchers, Pat McGee Band, Coldplay, Guster, and for fans of independent music everywhere.

her best novel
The Double Image is MacInnes's best novel. The romantic plot and the thriller plot are not just tied together -- they drive each other at just the right moments. As with her other best work, the point of view of the story mainly lies with amateurs who have been sucked up into the world of espionage. The difference between this and some of her lesser works is mainly just perfection of style and execution. In any collection of anything, one member of the collection has to be the best. For MacInnes, this one is it.

An Amazing and Beautiful Story
Wow, the story was inspirational and seemed to be centered around seeking the truth regardless of the consequences and leading others to the truth once one finds it. The story contains elements of unnoticed ambiguities that will go unnoticed, but the ambiguities are just enough for the reader to put them self in the story without realizing it. If you have a friend read it ask them what they thought about the book and they will get something different out of it.

The Black Book of Quotes
This is not the type of book to read straight through, but rather to pick up from time to time and learn the brief history of the most famous quotations in English history. Most often, the myth does not match the fact. But, the history is never dull and Keyes' words explaining how the quote gained popular notice are often fascinating.

The book is not advanced
Do you want read a 6-page chapter with less than 20 citations? You have found a great book. Overall, I do not like this book because there are less information than expected. I wished this book summarized better and organized better growing thoughts and results of the cell cycle control in plant growth and development. Several chapters describe just individual research projects, which are suitable for research articles in journals. Also, they do not have reviewed other publications sufficient enough for satisfying students and researchers who are going to step inside this area. If you want to read more in-depth knowledge, you'd better go to library and find a recent reveiw article.

Cut lines don't match up
I got this for the convenience of the premarked cutlines and they are too short. The box recommends cutting two inches off the taper before wrapping. I chose to ingnore that and am glad that I did. Had I done that there's no way it would have covered the drum. As it is I had to leave spacing of about 1/16-1/8" between each wrap just to get the thing close to covering the drum. It dumbfounds me that they'd sell this product as "ready to cut" but then not space the lines correctly. I'll just ignore the lines altogether and use a template to cut the rest of these.

Didn't work, filled the bathroom with a noxious chemical smell
Our bathroom floor has tiny white tiles with very dirty grout (it is almost white in some places and almost black in others). There are also rust stains on the tiles in some places. I don't know how long it has been dirty (we are renting the house and it was like that when we moved in).I was very hopeful about this product after reading the reviews. After receiving it, I sprayed it on a small portion of the floor that has rust stains and dark grout and let it sit for 30 minutes. When I came back, I couldn't see any difference. I scrubbed it with a stiff brush. Nothing. I wiped it off with a cloth. Nothing.In the meantime, the small amount I sprayed smelled so noxious that I began to feel ill after being in the bathroom for a couple minutes (we don't have great ventilation in that room).And all of this was after waiting for almost two weeks for the product to arrive.Very disappointing in every respect.

Excellent Gate For Puppies
My little dachsund chewed through the first gate I purchased at the pet store. Imagine my surprise to find her after only one day waiting by the door for me after work. I was determined to find something to keep her where she needed to be during the work day. I read the reviews for quite a few baby / pet gates and kept coming back to this one. I can honestly say I am very pleased with this gate. The plastic doesn't allow a place for my little one to sink her teeth into so after a few attempts to move a non moving gate, she calms down. I would highly recommend this gate for anyone with small animals. Just the right size fit for my door with pressure fitting, rather than having to drill holes for something I hope will only be temporary. Excellent product.

Don't waste your money
Luckily I bought this sweeper on sale with a coupon. Otherwise, I would be very upset. This product started out fine: it's cordless and did run well on both carpet and vinyl. But after maybe half a dozen times of using it, it would work for 30 seconds and then the battery would shut down. I had charged the battery fully, so I know it was full of juice when I started. I was just very disappointed with this and frustrated every time I had to use it. Plus, it was too wide to get in the tight spots on my floors and it wouldn't go right up to the edges. I bought a Swiffer Sweep + Vac and couldn't be happier with it. True, it doesn't work on carpet, but I just use my vaccuum cleaner for that anyway. It's much cheaper, cordless, and has a swivel head to get to those hard-to-reach places. I was not impressed with the Shark brand and probably won't by anything from them again.

Mystery Walk rocks!
This is a marvelous book. I was hooked within the first few pages of the book. I couldn't put it down until I reached the end. It's a wild roller-coaster ride of emotions. I found it to be one of those books that when I finished reading it, I still wanted to read more about the characters and continue the adventure of the Mystery Walk. Robert McCammon's writing and storytelling are amazing. You can read his work and never have to realize that you are reading. You can just totally lose yourself in the fiction. I also very much enjoyed Robert McCammon's Swan Song and Boy's Life and I will surely be reading more of his work.

Broven, Finnis and Churchill at ACE do it again with Volume Four. This is another classic collection of Pop Rockers and Teen Ballads from the Golden Age Of Rock'n Roll. As with every ACE compilation quality is always the best. This collection contains some rare gems such as; "Three Stars" by Tommy Dee and The Teen Tones (from the original master tape). "She's Neat" By Dale Wright, "Just Young" by Andy Rose. Almost every selection on this disc is a bonafied hit. When you hear "The Wonder Of You" by Ray Peterson, you would think it was recorded yesterday. The re-mastering is impeccable. I hear things that I never knew were there. This collection gets my highest marks for sound quality.Thanks ACE!

I bought this for my grandmother for mothers day and am returning it. Judging by the cover I was expecting a little brighter content. However, I was keeping an open mind as i flipped through it and was appreciative that it was a little more in tune with the reality of being a stray dog in greece. However, at the end there are 2 pictures of dogs mating. Thats fine, but not for grandma.

The screen-plays of Kerouac's life
Having read most all of Kerouac's published work, reading this book is like finding the keys to the locks. Jack's and other letters provide deep insights into his life, his feelings and all that followed into Jack's novels, poems and stories. Much more than a diary, this book serves almost as reference material for reading his other works. The letters pre-On The Road and post-Big Sur, opens up your eyes to the life he was leading, it is here that you see the fluid motion of his life falling into his work. A must have for any JK bookshelve.

Psychedelic Bubble Gum
Don't be turned off by the term bubble gum. This is first class bubble gum. The music is at times enchanting and hypnotic. The harmonies are beautifully intertwined into a sweet brew of sound. Many people including myself don't know a lot about the Strawberry Alarm Clock, except for "Incense and Peppermints". This is the best collection out there of theirs' and the first rate liner notes will fill you in on this groups' history. Check out their web site too. Too bad most of their work is out of print. Maybe someone like Rhino will put some of these things back in print. These guys deserve credit for making some fine music.

Maybe if it didn't immediately break...
This may not be new information, but this product is extremely fragile. I used it once before it broke. There's a plastic ring that keeps the cleaning wheel in position so it can latch onto the gears and spin. Immediately after I used it the first time, the ring came off, so the cleaning wheel fell on the disc and scratched it (which was a bit counterproductive as I had purchased this to improve the performance of my CDs). I tried sticking the ring back on, but everything I used to get it to stay blocked the wheel from spinning. Now, if I hold it in just the right angle, I can get my CDs in without the wheel falling off, or the disc falling off the base. Which was good for a few more cleanings. But then it stopped cleaning the outside edge of the discs. The middle part cleans fine, but it doesn't seem to touch the edge at all. So much for clean, shiny discs that work properly.

Unfortunately, Lana doesn't seem to be moving anywhere with this uninspiring release. A couple of covers here are the best sounding tracks here and that says something... Perhaps "Carry Me Home" is more or less close to her best songs but this is definitely far cry from her previous albums like "Queen Of The Ocean" or "Garden Of The Moon". What's regrettable is that Lana and Erik keep producing these all-sound-alike songs which could have shined if they just spent more time on coming up with some fresher and more ambitious tunes (lyrics are OK by me). To recap, I was definitely expecting more for my money. Too bad...

Good for two weeks
I read the other reviewers comments on these earbuds about the tips coming off, but thought I'd take that as fair warning to be careful and bought them anyway. Well, after only two weeks I came home from the gym with my ipod and my "new" earbuds, and noticed the plastic tip was gone when I sat them down. I don't think my ear swallowed it, but never saw it go. These little guys work just fine if there was a way to replace the buds. I should've glued them on.

Cheap toy & bad shipping practices
We bought this for my son for Christmas. It was shipped without an outer box. My husband and Son arrive home and found the football game on our front porch in plain sight. The Shipper just stuck a shipping label on the outside of the box. Both ends of the package was open. Thanks Amazon for ruining this for our son! I will be returning this item! Its cheap and not worth the money.

I love Ray Liotta, but...
This was cheesy, formulaic, forshadowing, got weaker as it went on, etc, etc. Ray, you are still the man, but don't do another movie like this. :)

It works!
It was so easy to use, I still can't believe it, for 7 days I smoked guiltless (knowing I was doing something about it) then it slowly brought me down from two packs a day to 1 and within a month and a half down to the last one I had, today I celebrate 3 years without smoking!No white knuckles, no craving!I had tried to quit for decades always returning within a few weeks, and smoking more after that.Thank you for my life!

AWFUL!
This movie had the most pointless plot and sappy dialouge i have ever seen. The romance in the movie was completely ruined by the cheap, unbelieveable, LENGTHY dialouge. Pointless characters, and uninteresting plot. Overall, this film was 1 hour 56 minutes too long. TOTAL MOVIE CRUD!

Damaged in shipping: Twice
The first unit they sent had a damaged On/Off switch and was missing parts. The second unit had all the parts, but once again the On/Off switch was broken, including the plate that covers the switch. It's not really the manufacturer's fault because both units appear to have been damaged in shipping. So, if you see this in hardware shop, go for it, but don't buy online.

If she were as talented as she is fat, she'd be huge!
Just a reminder, Mariah Carey sucks! Why don't you save the $14.99 and buy some taste!

I was disappointed
The best piece of artwork in this book is on the cover. Much of it is in black and white which may seem appropriate but which didn't do much to enhance the display of the work. Not at all what I was expecting after the spectacular cover which, to my way of thinking, should represent the meat of the book.

Keep sliding forward
These inserts feel great until they begin sliding forward in my shoe as I walk and bunching up underneath my toes. Tried them in 2 separate shoes and they keep sliding forward. Box says "unconditional guarantee", but can't get a hold of anyone at Customer Service to complain. Sticking with my Dr. Scholl's Extra Support.

A blast from the past
I enjoyed the latest installment of Emergency! It brings me back to simpler time in my life. Seing the stuff that they went through and seeing how much has changed in the medical profession is interesting. I worked ER's several years, and the changes in treatment and who they can save is so phenominal. Just an enjoyable bunch of episodes. MAA

bad deal
20 minute interview and 2 old songs from Country Crossroads , not worth the time and surely should not be called a dvd, you would expect the entire cd on dvd not just 2 songs recorded from a tv show right?

Very comprehensive book
Wow, a very comprehensive book, utterly well researched from a physician that is what every physician should be: interested in curing the cause of the problem not just covering up the symptoms. I have learned a lot. Complete with great recipes to help you boost your mood.

Great stuff!
I agree with the writer who suggests making it a topping for hotcakes or waffles. I, however, use it straight. I also suggest buyers look on the Dutch Gold website for recpies. My office loved the roasted walnuts topped with buckwheat honey.

The Saboteurs-Griffin
If you think you are getting a Griffin story-DO NOT BUY this! I have never been so disappointed in all my life. This is awful. Characters by name only--plots are not developed! Amazon should remove this farce from their inventory!!

BUMMER BURN OUT !
Bought this item for my kids last Christmas. Was great while it lasted. Used it for about 4 months, weekends only. One day while using (it was only on for 30 minutes) something smelled like it was burning! The machine was HOT! Unplugged it & left it alone for about 2 weeks. Plugged it in again, didnt even turn it on, the smell came back & machine began to heat up! Can't use it any more..... ... I give it 2 thumbs DOWN!

Harmonic Black Metal
Dimmu Borgir Pumps Out An Extremely Heavy Song When They Made "Progenies Of The Appocalypse" They Use A Whole Orchestra Rather Than Just The Classic Electric Bass And Guitar, Drums Etc. Etc. From Begining To End This Album Makes New To Old Metal Heads Band Their Heads All Day Long. Highly Addictive, A Must Have.

Wretched
I feel unclean.I forced myself to finish this book just in case I might have found an enjoyable chapter somewhere inside it. Sadly, Robert Jordan fails to deliver even one.The writing of this series once appeared great, but in retrospect, Jordan is a hack. The man got lucky, and is now trying to milk his early success for every penny. I for one, will not contribute to his royalty checks ever again.This book truly is awful, please, don't encourage him.

We don't like it.
It has not worked like it did for Alton Brown. It shifts (doesn't stay where you put it) and drops on the smaller measurements (aka. the manufacturing variances are too wide between the inner and outer sections). I really wish I could return it. We are not pleased.

Can You Say ... Fantasy
Basically the premise is that women are really happy being submissive and used by a powerful man (who is really vulnerable underneath, natch.) The heroine proves her worth by putting up with every nasty, humiliating thing the hero can come up with thus proving that being a doormat is a good thing and that putting up with abuse will cure the abuser. (An insidious little philosphy that's killed a lot of women.) And then of course there's the miraculous cure for leprosy, but never mind. Ariane (why does she have a greek name?) is so unbelievable that that fits right in.
