1	Never leave home without it!	When ever I leave home(for any reason whatsoever), I grab my keys, my wallet, and my NIV Life Application Study Bible. Period, end of story!	positive
1	Great little lights	Not much to say about these little guys, but they looks great and work well. I just wish they were longer - would happily pay more for longer strings.	positive
1	read this book, but not this kindle version!	the book itself was great. get over whatever holds you back from reading it! i dont recommend this kindle version however; there are some really helpful charts that are cut off. you can play with spacing and font size a little, but you still miss out on some of the most practical, hands on stuff.	positive
0	MORE SQUIRRELS THAN EVER	THIS PLACTIC SHIELD HAD TO BE IMPROVISED FOR FIT ON BIRD POLE AND FEEDER. BOTH NOW IN MY GARGAE AS JUNK. TO ANYONE WITH FEEDER AND SQUIRREL PROBLEM USE THE INVERTED POLE BAFFLE CONE THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED ON POLE HEIGHT. MY SQUIRRELS ARE COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED AND HAVE JUST DISAPPEARED FROM FEEDER AND ATTEMPT TO GET AT BIRD FOOD. ONLY A POLE BAFFLE WILL WORK. SQUIRRELS LEARNED TO JUMP ON 340 TRANSPARENT AND GET TO FOOD.	negative
1	Exactly as advertised	I needed an inexpensive portable propane fire pit and this unit fit the bill perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchase. In addition, the Amazon order and delivery process went smoothly, no problems.	positive
0	Nice concept, poor quality	Siemens had a good concept with the 2415, but the audio quality is poor. The hissing/buzzing sound was very irratable and could not be eliminated, regardless of how many times the phone was deregistered or unplugged.No indication on the base station of the number of messages was a minor inconvenience. Don't try to prop the phone between your ear and shoulder unless you have a massage therapist on retainer.Battery life is no where near the specifications. Although the idea of being able to replace the batteries with standard rechargeables is attractive, having only two AAs for power is probably the reason by the talktime is limited (most other cordless have three custom batteries).Overall, I would stay away from this phone; I replaced it with the Panasonic 2570B; so far so good.	negative
0	Disappointing	Much less information in this biography than given in one published in an edition of 'Contemporary Authors' I read in the late 1990s in the public library. Anton Myrer is far and away my favorite author of all time. He was a gifted individual whose talent and reputation has been given far less credit than he deserved to receive. This may be due to what appears to have been a very modest and private nature on his part. Which only adds to my admiration of this wonderful writer and human being.Also, I noticed an error. In many other biographies I have read, Mr. Myrer's death is given as January 19, 1996.	negative
1	Dirty sounding hip-hop at it's finest	One of them joint's that come along once in a while. Fat beats,fat rhymes,and the hypest posse cut next to "The symphony". No question,if you dont got it,get it.	positive
0	Really bad mouth guard	This mouth guard pushed pretty hard on my front teeth. I had to give up using it to make sure it wouldn't mess up my teeth.	negative
0	outdoor girl	Product is cheap. One of the 4 coolers did not have enough crystals to inflate.Neckcooler material bleeds all over your clothing. Does not stay cool after about 45 minutes. Design is bad, when inflated, cooler does not want to bend easily around your neck. Feels like you are wearing a tire. Don't waste your money. I have purchased other neck coolers far superior to these that actually are comfortable and work well.	negative
0	The title is wrong	I was expecting to find out what TCP/IP was, how it differed from other networking standards, and an explanation of when and how to use the various components. I was disappointed. It took a lot of reading of OTHER material on TCP, and an explanation from a Stanford professor, before I could understand this book.The book could do with editing to check the topic sequence. Often a term is introduced without explanation as if you know what the author means. The explanation MAY come several pages later.	negative
0	Disappointed	This book only contained the most basic of information. We were expecting it to be more like the guide to raising chickens. I wouldn't waste my money if I were you.	negative
0	Unraveled too soon!	The gloves were comfortable. However, the seaming along the fingers came apart within two weeks and less than 5 uses. Unless you only plan to use these gloves for a week or less, invest your money in a different pair. They were a very big disappointment to me.	negative
1	Unforgettable	I read this book about 4-5 years ago. I saved it thinking I would read it again one day when I forgot the story. The problem is that I can't forget the story. It was one of the best books I have ever read. I wish I could forget so I could read it again. I think it would make a great movie if the screen play is written as the book is and not altered like so many good stories.	positive
1	Nice gate overall, but dissapointed with size of animal door...	I have no problem with the gate, door, or with set up. The gate itself looks nice and appears to be sturdy and secure. My biggest gripe is that my two medium sized cocker spaniels (25 pounds & 33 pounds) can fit thru the hole. Seems to me the pet door should have been made smaller if there saying it let's "smaller" animals thru. Anyways, aside from that it's not a bad gate.	positive
1	Great Production from Teddy	Teddy Riley really gave Jackson a fresh start with this. He needed to change from the QJ era, really. It has given his career some variety, now bring on timberlake...	positive
1	This is where it all started!	Weller 18 a 60s obsessed mod teen takes speed sees the Pistols live and combines his love for soul and R&B with the fire of the who and the emerging punk scene. Is it a great record?- no but its a vital energetic youthful stab of music that would begin the career of the Uk's best songwriter youth icon. Plus there are some great tunes In the City Away from the numbers etc. This is a snapshot of London circa 1977 and though never punk Weller was the essential rebel and no one looked better and more determined than Paul. The Jam were to become the essential British rock band outside of the Clash and weller has gone on to this very day to be one of the best songwriters of our Generation. And better still the Jams legacy is untarnished and still sounds refreshing today!!!	positive
0	Poor Refund Policy & Poor Customer Service	Buyers Beware... I purchaed these rollers and used them one time. The rollers made my hair a bit frizzy so I decided to return them back to the seller. The seller has the rollers, but refuses to refund me in full because I used them one time. I will never purchase any items from this seller. I tried a different set of rolers from another seller and returned those as well. That seller gave me a full refund and also paid for the shipping back to them - Now that seller knows what "Customer Service" really means.	negative
0	Diapers don't stink, but product does!	The diaper genie is just a way for some company to make money. Don't buy into it! I am a mother of three young children and the diaper genie just caused more harm than good. You have to buy THEIR refill bags, money money, when you can just throw your diapers in the trash bin. We just have a garbage can with a lid. Voila. It will save you lots of money. We also took the bags out often and still developed bugs in the diaper genie. Yuck! No thanks. I don't need diaper sausages.	negative
0	It is really aweful. Noise reduction works like Noise Production	When I bought these headphones, I went through these reviews and figured it may not be as bad as some these guys are saying. Some guys were praising this so much that, I overlooked all the bad reviews and bought it anyway. Now, when I put some battries for using the noise-reduction feature, I get some new noise. This Hissing is unbearable, even while some music is playing. I would suggest you to buy these only if you are not gonna use the noise reduction feature.	negative
0	NOT Needed Xbox already includes storage	The Xbox comes with a Big hard drive. It's not necessary to buy a memory card. If you need to transfer some saved games to another Xbox and its worth $35 to you go ahead and buy it. But I'd rather spend the money on another game.	negative
1	Worth the Wait and then some!!	Finally a man to settle "Miss Mean and Wild Angelique" down. And a woman that didn't fit Mr. Adonis's "grocery list" but offers him everything that needs in love and more.I am so happy that we finally got to learn more about Angelique (Angel). From the previous novels about their families we saw that a romance between Adonis (Donnie) and Angel was on it's way, but I would have never seen it to be this way. WOW!! I just love these two. Actually I love both families but these two have my heart right now.If this is your first Schuster novel, it will make you go pick up her previous ones as well look forward to whats to come. If you are a Schuster vet, this one makes you happy, proud and waiting again for the next great one. Which just so happens to come out this April!	positive
0	Could have been much better	I was quite disappointed in this book because I had heard what a great resource it was. Overall the content was useful and was a pretty complete listbut I felt as though it would have been better if it was condensed down into a 4 or 5 page document instead of a whole book. This would be a better book to get from the library instead.	negative
1	I miss this sound.	I wish ministry would have kept this sound. They had potential to be one of the better synth bands. I did get into some of ther later albums but this is my favorite from them.	positive
0	Not as good as I has expected.	After a lot of ...hype, this latest guide from John Bear (anddaughter Mariah) falls well short of the mark. In my view it is a jokewhen compared to previous guides. in the main it is just old-guidespackaged up in a new cover but a more diturbing fact also revealsitself. A lot is missing that was expected to be included...	negative
0	Not for beginners	As an AutoCAD 2000 and AutoCAD LT 2000 instructor, I found Randy's books to be too difficult for entry level students. The methods are hard to understand and follow for first time AutoCAD students. This leads to confusion in the classroom and makes the software seem harder to learn than it is. Some of the graphics in the books are so pixelized the studens can't figure out what they are. There is no solution manuals available either.	negative
1	Air pockets make for LOTS of stopping, poking, and restarting	We make smoothies a couple of times a day using frozen fruit - pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries - along with various juices. With all the rave reviews and the 1 horse power motor of this Pro Line Kitchen Aid blender, I was disappointed that air pockets form so readily around the blade. Just seconds after I turn it on, the blender stops blending until I stop the motor, poke the fruit down with a spatula, and restart. I usually have to do this about 4 or 5 times to make a simple smoothie. If I add plenty of juice, it is less prone to this problem; however, we like our smoothies thick. Once the fruit is blended enough to keep air pockets from forming, it makes a GREAT smoothie - far superior to the Kitchen Aid 1/2 horse power food processor I used to use. It's also attractive and the handle is light weight. The motor also regularly smells of smoke; hopefully this is because it is so new?	positive
0	Fans - tel caller ID	It did not work.but i will keep it for a paper weight.Or i could use it for target practice.Thank You !	negative
0	a huge disappointment	My son picked this item out, apparently the description was very impressive! Because the product that arrived sure was not!!	negative
0	Dell 700/710m laptop owner beware	This product makes a copy of the new disk from old disk. But it is not bootable using the EZ GIG 2 software. I have Dell Media Experiance but not Dell Media direct. After trying for two weeks and researching I got hold of tech support, really. Waited on hold for 45 min. After talking with them. I was told it does not work for the dell 700/710m laptops. So now instead of using my new 120GB drive to replace my 80 GB drive. I have another 120GB external drive. But it does have all my files and programs.Sadly it was a waste of money.	negative
1	Book Order	Needed the book for class. A bit pricey, in my opinion. Shipping not as fast as I would have hoped. But book is in perfect condition. I really can't complain. I'm just picky. Overall, best price available for the book on short notice.	positive
0	Not very good unless you have nothing better to do	This book was really put together in a hurry. There are a lot of mistakes, both spelling and just plain wrong answers. The are 4 final practice tests in this book and they seem to be all the same. Testing the same type of question over and over again. Really there is only in total 2 practice tests where questions might be different. The questions really didn't prep you well enough to give you an idea of what the actual test has. Again this book is good if you have exausted all other avenues and are just looking for another angle of testing. In my opinion, don't waste your time.	negative
1	Discusses foundations of navigation in a new and useful way	A must have book for anyone who wishes to take their understanding of navigation to the next level. Interesting, important and entertaining.	positive
1	Great mirror!	I've had one of these mirrors on my bike for seven years. I liked it so much that I ordered one for my husband's new bike. It's easy to install and a tough little mirror. It's been crunched several times and I'm always able to readjust it just fine.	positive
1	Great	These storage bowls have been a nice addition to my dish collection. They came in great shape and have been useful. They go from firdge to microwave to the table and everything matches the dishes.	positive
0	Good God! A thousand times no!!	I went looking for this after I saw a clip of it on the TV show "Web Junk 20". I can't believe that something this corny would actually get a good review! And 5 stars at that! Before you waste your money, check out the clip of this video on the "ifilm" website. BTW, you will see mullets. (Oh helllss no!) Then go spend your money on a real hip hop video. Or, better yet, go to the club and see how it's really done.	negative
1	Maximum Plus Alkaline Batteries	Great little package for keeping your batteries in. Easy to open easy to close, yet wont accidentally come open when you don't want them to. Great batteries too as they last a long time.	positive
0	Good price but poor quality	The seat foam was poor quality/ low density......not comfortable. Don't feel that it would have held up for very long.	negative
0	A Guide To SQL	Sketchy at best. Gives some good examples but does not cover all of the SQL language. Jumps around a lot. Definitely not worth the 30+ dollars.	negative
0	not an author children should read	Mr Whittle is a skilled writer. However his fiction should be written for adults, where the problems won't affect impressionable minds.The first thing that disturbed me was the poor English of Quon Lee. While those learning English as adults might have difficulty pronouncing certain sounds that their native language don't contain, this would not be the case with a little boy. It's not true that "Chinese tongues" are unable to make the l sound, etc. Add that to the portrayal of the Jewish tailor as always whining, you get "old-fashioned" in the bad sense of the term.Then Lizzy was involved in smuggling, in effect stealing from the government & those obeying the law. Then blackmail. It's not OK to blackmail someone even when that someone isn't a good person.And I certainly don't think that people kept in a barrel would be alive at the end of a week. They either would starve, die of thirst, or suffocate. Maybe not all, but at least some.	negative
0	Very disappointing bells and whistles	I was very excited to get this book for my one year old, bird-loving daughter after reading other posted reviews. The bird call buttons only worked for a day. I assumed that the battery was dead, so attempted to change it, but couldn't find a screwdriver minute enough to fit the miniscule screw and had to give up. The pull flap idea to see the mystery bird is cute, and my daughter was excited to see the birds emerge, but several of them would not close again without major contortions (for me, impossible for my daughter) and have gotten harder and harder to close with use, so now we just leave them all open. The information is great and the pictures are very well done, but the calls and pull flaps are very poor quality. I would not recommend that anyone buy this book.	negative
0	Amplification is useless.	I bought it mainly because the description said it had an amplification antenna. There is a separate power cable for the amplification. How different is the signal reception with and without amplification? I can say for sure that there is absolutely NO difference. Rather, the reception is better with the amplification turned off. I didn't used any other antennas since I already got this, but many reviews say its performance is below average, and I believe those reviews are correct. It's a mediocre quality antenna, and I strongly do NOT recommend this.	negative
1	File under: life-changing kids literature	Looking back at all the books I read as a kid, I fondly recall several books which did more than tell a wonderful story...they truly made me think differently about the world around me. The L'Engle books, the Dahl books, and the Pinkwater books fall into this category. But most of all, Lizard Music. It's the book that made my kid-self reorganize his brain to accomodate a world with talking lizards and lesser kudus. It's still one of my favorite books of all time.	positive
1	gob smacked	What a family. You have to admire the jewish way of making money from the dirt under your fingernails.....True drama,in capital letters. The story is riveting ,full with revolting characters .Cheating, stealing ,trampling over every possible human emotion and body to get to the box under the bed with the lucre. Family, who cares, stuff them, look after number one .He loved his wife, poor thing,all she wanted was nice fingernails and the occasional facelift. But then to have to deal with the s*ty kids, ungrateful,greedy bunch ,getting to big for their boots. Well , Dad had to put them into their place . Unfortunately,he taught them to well from his own life-script.Marvin & Larry ,you did a fantastic job in getting it down on paper. The book had me curled up in my chair, skipping meals and ignoring the alarm clock. Five stars *** is way to few ,loved, loved ,loved the book :)	positive
0	Not the greatest	I ordered this product during a heavy infestation in my house. I hoped that using this, along with treating my animals, vaccuming daily, and having the pest control people spray, that the problem would be solved. That was three months ago. I am still seeing fleas. My children are being bitten. And the trap has not caught one single flea.	negative
0	Catcher in the Rye lost my attention	I have no i dea why this work is so popular; it is equivolent to a PG-13 movie about a teenager that lacks a plot.	negative
0	How Its Done:An Invitation to Social Research, 3rd edition	I somehow got the wrong edition. I am pretty sure I selected the correct edition, but it wasn't until I got to class that I noted the error. Next time I will be sure to double and triple check my order.	negative
1	ok	Its not as solid as I would like, but it does say its for an airsoft gun. Have it on my m4, nice for plinkin around with on the wekends.	positive
0	Not as great as the first one.	I am a mother in my forties. My kids and I loved the first movie. I didn't like this one. They should of used all new characters. I loved the characters in the first movie, but by using all the same characters in the second movie is what made the sequel boring. It was the new characters that made the sequel somewhat interesting like the Einstein bobbleheads, Abraham Lincoln and Amelia Earhart. The woman who played Amelia Earhart did a great job! The villian in the movie was the stupidest character and pretty much helped ruin the movie. Very poor casting for that character! If you are trying to decide between the two movies to buy, go with the first.	negative
1	Translator of the Spirit	I've been listening to TTD since he's graced us with his first gift of "The Hardline..". I am in awe of his beautiful, uncompromising talents and his willingnes to share it with all, still after all these years of being passed over in the industry. How amazing to be this talented and adored by many and still not given the msuical respect his beauty commands. Every cut on this album is completely soulstirring, and makes you take a look at yourself and life. He's made it tough for ordinary men to come romanitc, because his poetry ssems to have been told to him directly from above! Ahhhh, pure beauty this is, looking forward to the next..........buy it now--but beware---you may never look at your other music the same. Peace and Love.	positive
1	Slow Down	I really enjoyed Omar Tyree's book "Flyy Girl". His book protrays the Urban Youth of today. Flyy Girl was an excellent book about a young girl who started herself out on the wrong track but reformed herself into a strong black woman. A Flyy Girl! I would recammend this book for anyone to read. It was wonderful novel that kept you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what was next to happen!	positive
1	OUTSTANDING ALBUM	Eric is back on the music scene after being in the media for a variety of reasons.Hurricane is Eric's most personal album to date.Most of the songs are based on Eric's feelings about his much-publicised divorce to Halle Berry ,such as the title track,"Cracks of My Broken Heart" ,"Man enough to cry" He dedicates a song to his daughter,India,which is also the name of the song. Overall the songs sound beautiful and emotional that you can't help but feel sorry for Eric.	positive
0	Stopped working after 40 days	I bought this heated seat cushion due to some of the good reviews, but I should have listened to the ones that say DO NOT BUY. It worked good for fourty days then I plugged it in one morning and...Nothing. Save your money and don't buy this!!! Good luck.	negative
0	A difficult read.	While the premise of the book is true, I found Lewis' writing style difficult to follow. I cannot recommend it to the average reader. Perhaps it would make a good supplement to a university level philosophy course.	negative
0	ONLY Jean Reno and the lizard made this film watchable.	The special effects were in a word - cool. The movie was in a word - bad. Any movie that has characters who make me want to physically abuse my TV has a problem. At least Jean Reno was a highlight in an otherwise "enh" film.	negative
1	Tested in Patagonia	I bought to use in my adventure in Patagonia (trekings in Toores del Paine and El Chalten) with my girlfriend, and it survives all weathers (and help us survive too!).	positive
1	It was OK	It was wonderfly written yet the plot needed work. I thought the plot needed a lot of work but It was very good written. I read it when I was 8 and being now almost 11 I thought the same.	positive
0	Levi 511 "skinny" Silt	Terrible buy, they are over-priced, look nothing like whats in the picture, they don't even fit like 511's. the fit more like 514's (slim straights). Very displeased, they don't fit or look like the pants in the photograph.	negative
1	The Best Packaged Spanish Rice	I have tried many different brands of Spanish rice, including Goya, and this is the best. I can't find in the grocery stores where I live (MD) even though the stores carry every other packaged Mahatma product. That is why I try to remember to get some whenever I order something through Amazon.	positive
0	For wussy garlic only!!	I actually bought one of these from my local Lechter's store, but as I had such a bad experience with it, I wanted to write a review to protect other hapless consumers.In short: this press is feeble. It can't handle more than a clove, and since it's made cheaply (with a plastic core) it can't generate the force needed to crush even that adequately. The handles bend if you push too hard, and it doesn't fully crush even the one clove it can handle. Mine - after much frustration on my part - finally broke off at the hinge a couple days ago, so now I'm back on the market for a new one.Ironically, the cheap, all-aluminum press my parents have had as long as I can remember is still fully functional.Do yourself a favor: don't buy this unless you plan only to press garlic that's already half mush.	negative
1	What did I do without it	I love it. I use it for all the greens we get in our "greens share." Herbs, lettuce. Easy to use. Good for storage. Very easy to clean.	positive
0	explosive coffee	mine just went off again, this time after making coffee. i was pretty freaked out thinking that there was a real issue until i started reading these reviews.our alarm is in the living room, away from the kitchen, but obviously still too close as when it was positioned near the ceiling, every so often it would go off when we started the oven up. because of this we kept it near the floor, and it didn't have problems until now.one thing it does do is add worry, not take it away. it will have you doubting yourself, your sense of smell, wandering whether you should pick up a phone (gas company) or a hammer (upgrade unit to paperweight), because you had no idea that it thinks that coffee (among other things in previous reviews) is somehow going to blow up your house.maybe it thinks i am drinking too much coffee, and wants me to cut down?well one more time and i am going to switch this with the one in the basement that just monitors the carbon monoxide.	negative
1	Excellent reference for Asian e-Gov programs	I'm very glad I came across this book. I believe it's the first one that covers e-Gov programs in Asia so comprehensively. Most eGov books I've read focus on initiatives in North America and Europe. As the author Yong points out "Asian nations have their unique needs for eGov". Being an IT consultant working in several countries across Asia, I totally agree with him. This will be a handy reference for me.	positive
1	Amazing and Beautiful!	Goapele is an amazing singer. She truly eases your mind with her voice. If you like Jill Scott (or even if you dont) you will love this CD!	positive
1	Great for extra help...	With taking Geometry this year, I got stuck with a not so great teacher, and decided I needed extra help. We saw this product, and decided to purchase it. So far, it has great animated examples, quizzes, and tests. It also includes a "game" for when you pass a test with a good grade. This program contains eight discs starting at pre-algebra going up to calculus and also statistics, and "real life math." A great deal for brushing up or using for high school, like I am!	positive
0	Really disappointing	Don't bother with this can opener. You will be frustrated and disappointed. Very quickly, this can opener seems to magically become unable to open anything without great effort to get the blade just right and even then, it sounds like it's a very old rickety appliance as it feebly goes around. Terrible, and I thought the Cuisinart name would mean a good product.	negative
0	Microsoft Flight Sim 3, the Battle for my Dollar: LOST	This is my first Combat Flight simulator. I wish I could take it back. I have M.S. Flight Sim 2000 pro, and love it. This sim 3, Battle for Europe, bombs. Or I guess, I should say doesn't when it should. Anyway, nothing but aggravation. Most of the keyboard commands don't work. How to text is sketchy, at best. The training movies not only didn't run, but locked up the computer. The booklet implies that once you load the software it is just a matter of double clicking the icon on your desk top to run it. Not so. I have to load to "the proper disk" each time I try to play. It is definitely not worth the trouble or the money I spent on it.	negative
1	Why would anyone cancel the best sci-fi show in years??	If you have not purchased this show, DO IT NOW!You will not find a better sci-fi show to watch since Babylon 5. I cannot praise this show enough. If I were the fox executive who decided to cancel this show and then saw all of the DVD reviews on amazon etc.. I would probably have to get aboard a firefly with Mal and crew and escape from the planet.This show has it all: effects, music, fantastic acting, awesome story line, humor, a possible look at the future, and what most good sci-fi has a look at real situations that you can relate to in today's society but set in the future.ack! They cancelled this????Incredible.......	positive
0	Lame Book - Waste of Money!!	What a rip off. A 1st grader would be upset with this lazy, primer. Don't waste your cash. Anyone who has ever had a basic medical term, A&P; or hematology class could have written this. Did not learn anything to help with test. I bought it based on earlier good reviews. The author's relatives must have written them.Kathryn A. Kalanick "Phlebotomy Technician Specialist: Certification Exam Review" (also on Amazon) includes an excellent CD with study and test questions based on ASCP, AMT and NCA topics. The book is very good. Detailed review sections, with illustrations tests. Made a high score with this book. (I'm not related to anyone connected with this book!)Phlebotomy Technician Specialist: Certification Exam Review (Phlebotomy Technician Specialist Certification Exam Review)	negative
1	Works like it should!	I placed the item down in the kitchen where the ants were visible and within a few minutes (1-2 minutes) there were a large number of ants munching away on the stuff. A few minutes later there were even more. I checked on it on and off for a few hours finding the ants still munching away.First thing this morning I checked on the ants in the kitchen and ....there were NO ANTS! I could not believe how quickly this stuff worked. I've checked throughout the day today and there are still no signs of ants in the kitchen.I would recommend this to anyone with ant problems. I'm now working on the trail of ants outside on the patio to see how well it works on them.	positive
1	Extremely Informative, but out of date	This book was first published in 1986, with the 2nd edition coming out in 1993. I bought and read this book in 2005. I found it very informative with great ideas for running a bar. More importantly, it goes into detail on how to write a business plan, partnerships, investors and etc. Basically all the 'business' stuff that goes behind opening and running a bar. Despite the book being old, the basics are all in there and will work today. However I also feel that in today's world, there are other things that the book does not implement. Things like the internet and wider use of PCs, which I think has greatly altered the way busineses work.	positive
1	Great Mysteries	I like the characters in the Dismas Hardy series. The stories are always great and keep me turning the pages to the end.	positive
1	First class guided tour of Asian movies	A fast, fact-filled tour of Asian movies from the well known spots like Hong Kong and Japan to the more obscure like the Phil. and Thailand. Lots of interesting information, nice illustrations and good writing style.	positive
0	what the hell is this	first off i'm mad at amazon.com for not having a slot for 1/2 a star. Because this album is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is by far the worst commercially released album i have ever heard. did anyone even listen to it when they mixed and mastered it????? I'm not going into how great they were in the 70's or how good the songs were in the 80's...cause it would only cheapen the experience..I'm totally mortified by this album .look at bands like the roots, a group that uses the sound of early kool and the gang to ROCK shows.. TOTAL dissapointment. dont EVER make another album please....	negative
1	The book is the movie.	A lot of times people say that the book is better than the movie....in this case, the book IS the movie.	positive

1	amazing product	years ago when the original whitestrips first came out, i tried them. i had great results and the whitening actually lasted longer than i had expected. fastforward a handful of years and i have decided to try the premium strips. i'm getting braces in a month, and i wanted quick results that would last at least through a portion of my treatment. i used the premium strips for 30mins lastnight and i had amazing results from only one strip! if my teeth keep whitening like this, i will have to stop using them before the box is done to prevent having the unnatural 'hollywood glow'. i was blown away!	positive
0	The White Boy Shuffle	A very disappointing book. No question that Beatty's somewhat of a polymath but that doesn't carry the book. I found myself saying "OK, you're young, bright, black, and pissed, what else've you got?" His attitude isn't enough to carry the book and the narrative is exceedingly thinÑit's not constructed to involve the reader even slightly. His incorporation of fantasy elements doesn't work and serves only to further distance the reader from the characters. If you're looking for bright fantasy along similar lines which is MUCH better realized and which pulls you into the story, read some Ishmael Reed such as Yellowback Radio Brokedown, Mumbo Jumbo, or The Last Days of Panama Red. Perhaps Beattyll improve with ageÑ there's little doubt that he's gifted, but his gifts are too rawly displayed here; theres not much narrative integration and very little craft. Its rare that I dont finish a book but I finally gave up about 80% of the way through.	negative

1	Duti la dracula: or the life of a revolutionary	Very decent debut. While no universal themes were broached,the film functions well as a chamber ensemble piece with occasional moments of hilarity. Still, "My Sweet Little Village" it ain't....beautiful and plaintive clarinet theme and decidedly Tarkovsky-esque ending, although the lamp-post symbolism was a little heavy-handed.It's a pity that hilariously colorful swear-words, readily recognizable by any Eastern European, were omitted in the subtitles. ...No doubt in keeping with American prudish attitudes or maybe to avoid film rating issues.P.S.Available for rent at Netflix.	positive
0	Insomniac's cure	I found Delillo's incredible amounts of cynicism,pessimism,self doubt,and wholesale use of argumentative encounters to be at best boring and at worst annoying.

0	Another EA release to stay away from	Yet again EA has dropped the ball. Not only do they treat their employees terribly (see http://news.cnet.com/Electronic-Arts-settles-overtime-suit/2110-1047_3-6065011.html ), but they also treat their customers like criminals right from the start when they release games like Spore that are almost unplayable even for legitimate purchasers of the game, due to the massive amount of DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the game. EA only thinks about making profits and doesn't care about releasing a good game. Too bad Will Wright didn't go to a different publishing company, Spore might have been a good game. As it is, don't buy this because you will spend so much time being pestered by DRM that you won't have any time to enjoy the game itself.	negative
0	Not so great	I watched this movie because it was filmed mostly in my town, and I know some of the extras. It's always fun to see your friends on the big screen and see familiar sites. But, this movie is too odd. By the main character's name, "Ida", I thought this must be taking place in an earlier decade. But it's current by the automobiles. With all the perverts in the world today, what mother would let her daughter go with an old man and a group of strangers out on the road? Besides that, the side stories are many and not completed. It's just not a well written movie. But I thought the actiing was good! I think my adult kids would be totally bored, as would my grandchildren.	negative

0	Not reliable	I am just about through a 100 disk spindle of these using a NEC 3250A drive. Unfortunately, I had already burned a great many of them before discovering that they just did not make it. When the drive finally burns at a true 8x (about the last 1/4), things just fall apart. No actual errors, but on playback all the problems show up, massive pixelation, pauses, skips. The only way to use these, for me, is to burn them at 6x. Might as well have saved some money and bought the 4x ones.I found nothing but rather rave reviews on Newegg regarding these, but you look around everywhere else and people have much the same problem... they are unreliable at 8x speed. I also found out why the reviews on Newegg are good... they kick out the bad reviews... mine was rejected for no real reason other than it was negative.So, from now on I pay a bit more and use true name brand media. I have NEVER had any problems with any of the major DVD media suppliers.	negative

0	Not reliable in my experience	I saw all of the positive reviews of this Sony shower radio/cd player and thought it important to share my experience. I bought one two years ago and although the quality seemed to be high (solid construction, good waterproofing design) it broke pretty quickly. Within around ten months the cd player stopped working, and then eventually so did the radio. It was disappointing because I thought spending the money on a Sony ensured a reliable product. Maybe it's because it's a shower radio and was exposed to a lot of steam, but it seemed like a lot of money for a stereo that lasted 10 months, and is supposed to be designed to withstand a bit of water. I expected more and would not buy one again.It was great while it worked though.	negative
1	No more cleaning!	I liked The Wash because it simply states the complex and painful results of a marriage.Nobu and Masi are newly separated after 40 plus years together. They are in new territory though still attached, as Masi keeps washing Nobu's clothes even 13 months after separating. Clearly they are tied into each other, but how much is love and affection and how much is tradition and familiarity?This is a terrific "little" play about a family, not requiring much to produce. Occasionally beautiful, poignant and funny. Also a play about the advent of modern adaptation. Some beautiful Japanese lullabys too.	positive
0	Well...	when I first heard about this book, I was expecting some kind of unputdownable story. Considering the awards it's gotten, well, it's hard not to.To some of you, this story provided just that. But for me . . . well, let's just say I don't share the view of the judges. Most certainly I managed to finish the book (it wasn't quite THAT bad, though I nearly put it down). And, I admit, it was kind of heart-warming, but it didn't make up for its lake of interesting plot.If you want something interesting, I recommend Artemis Fowl for kids and the Black Jewels Trilogy for adults (trust me, I might only be 11, but I LOVED it!).	negative
0	Not very good advice	...in fact, some of these things are borderline abusive.Psychology studies have shown (exhaustively) that the strict-parent model doesn't work. Others, such as James Dobson, call this the punishing father model. They result in children who can't tell parents the truth, who learn to be manipulative, and in fact grow up to be abusive (emotionally or physically).Much better books are: Reviving Ophelia (a classic), anything by Alice Miller (one of the best post-Freudian psychologists alive today), and anything by Anne Wilson Schaeff.	negative

Nice concept, poor quality

Siemens had a good concept with the 2415, but the audio quality is poor. The hissing/buzzing sound was very irratable and could not be eliminated, regardless of how many times the phone was deregistered or unplugged.No indication on the base station of the number of messages was a minor inconvenience. Don't try to prop the phone between your ear and shoulder unless you have a massage therapist on retainer.Battery life is no where near the specifications. Although the idea of being able to replace the batteries with standard rechargeables is attractive, having only two AAs for power is probably the reason by the talktime is limited (most other cordless have three custom batteries).Overall, I would stay away from this phone; I replaced it with the Panasonic 2570B; so far so good.

Disappointing

Much less information in this biography than given in one published in an edition of 'Contemporary Authors' I read in the late 1990s in the public library. Anton Myrer is far and away my favorite author of all time. He was a gifted individual whose talent and reputation has been given far less credit than he deserved to receive. This may be due to what appears to have been a very modest and private nature on his part. Which only adds to my admiration of this wonderful writer and human being.Also, I noticed an error. In many other biographies I have read, Mr. Myrer's death is given as January 19, 1996.

The title is wrong

I was expecting to find out what TCP/IP was, how it differed from other networking standards, and an explanation of when and how to use the various components. I was disappointed. It took a lot of reading of OTHER material on TCP, and an explanation from a Stanford professor, before I could understand this book.The book could do with editing to check the topic sequence. Often a term is introduced without explanation as if you know what the author means. The explanation MAY come several pages later.

I read this book about 4-5 years ago. I saved it thinking I would read it again one day when I forgot the story. The problem is that I can't forget the story. It was one of the best books I have ever read. I wish I could forget so I could read it again. I think it would make a great movie if the screen play is written as the book is and not altered like so many good stories.

Nice gate overall, but dissapointed with size of animal door...

I have no problem with the gate, door, or with set up. The gate itself looks nice and appears to be sturdy and secure. My biggest gripe is that my two medium sized cocker spaniels (25 pounds & 33 pounds) can fit thru the hole. Seems to me the pet door should have been made smaller if there saying it let's "smaller" animals thru. Anyways, aside from that it's not a bad gate.

This is where it all started!

Weller 18 a 60s obsessed mod teen takes speed sees the Pistols live and combines his love for soul and R&B with the fire of the who and the emerging punk scene. Is it a great record?- no but its a vital energetic youthful stab of music that would begin the career of the Uk's best songwriter youth icon. Plus there are some great tunes In the City Away from the numbers etc. This is a snapshot of London circa 1977 and though never punk Weller was the essential rebel and no one looked better and more determined than Paul. The Jam were to become the essential British rock band outside of the Clash and weller has gone on to this very day to be one of the best songwriters of our Generation. And better still the Jams legacy is untarnished and still sounds refreshing today!!!

Poor Refund Policy & Poor Customer Service

Buyers Beware... I purchaed these rollers and used them one time. The rollers made my hair a bit frizzy so I decided to return them back to the seller. The seller has the rollers, but refuses to refund me in full because I used them one time. I will never purchase any items from this seller. I tried a different set of rolers from another seller and returned those as well. That seller gave me a full refund and also paid for the shipping back to them - Now that seller knows what "Customer Service" really means.

And a woman that didn't fit Mr. Adonis's "grocery list" but offers him everything that needs in love and more.I am so happy that we finally got to learn more about Angelique (Angel).

Actually I love both families but these two have my heart right now.If this is your first Schuster novel, it will make you go pick up her previous ones as well look forward to whats to come.

Air pockets make for LOTS of stopping, poking, and restarting

We make smoothies a couple of times a day using frozen fruit - pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries - along with various juices. With all the rave reviews and the 1 horse power motor of this Pro Line Kitchen Aid blender, I was disappointed that air pockets form so readily around the blade. Just seconds after I turn it on, the blender stops blending until I stop the motor, poke the fruit down with a spatula, and restart. I usually have to do this about 4 or 5 times to make a simple smoothie. If I add plenty of juice, it is less prone to this problem; however, we like our smoothies thick. Once the fruit is blended enough to keep air pockets from forming, it makes a GREAT smoothie - far superior to the Kitchen Aid 1/2 horse power food processor I used to use. It's also attractive and the handle is light weight. The motor also regularly smells of smoke; hopefully this is because it is so new?

This book was really put together in a hurry. There are a lot of mistakes, both spelling and just plain wrong answers. The are 4 final practice tests in this book and they seem to be all the same. Testing the same type of question over and over again. Really there is only in total 2 practice tests where questions might be different. The questions really didn't prep you well enough to give you an idea of what the actual test has. Again this book is good if you have exausted all other avenues and are just looking for another angle of testing. In my opinion, don't waste your time.

not an author children should read

Mr Whittle is a skilled writer. However his fiction should be written for adults, where the problems won't affect impressionable minds.The first thing that disturbed me was the poor English of Quon Lee. While those learning English as adults might have difficulty pronouncing certain sounds that their native language don't contain, this would not be the case with a little boy. It's not true that "Chinese tongues" are unable to make the l sound, etc. Add that to the portrayal of the Jewish tailor as always whining, you get "old-fashioned" in the bad sense of the term.Then Lizzy was involved in smuggling, in effect stealing from the government & those obeying the law. Then blackmail. It's not OK to blackmail someone even when that someone isn't a good person.And I certainly don't think that people kept in a barrel would be alive at the end of a week. They either would starve, die of thirst, or suffocate. Maybe not all, but at least some.

Very disappointing bells and whistles

I was very excited to get this book for my one year old, bird-loving daughter after reading other posted reviews. The bird call buttons only worked for a day. I assumed that the battery was dead, so attempted to change it, but couldn't find a screwdriver minute enough to fit the miniscule screw and had to give up. The pull flap idea to see the mystery bird is cute, and my daughter was excited to see the birds emerge, but several of them would not close again without major contortions (for me, impossible for my daughter) and have gotten harder and harder to close with use, so now we just leave them all open. The information is great and the pictures are very well done, but the calls and pull flaps are very poor quality. I would not recommend that anyone buy this book.

Amplification is useless.

I bought it mainly because the description said it had an amplification antenna. There is a separate power cable for the amplification. How different is the signal reception with and without amplification? I can say for sure that there is absolutely NO difference. Rather, the reception is better with the amplification turned off. I didn't used any other antennas since I already got this, but many reviews say its performance is below average, and I believe those reviews are correct. It's a mediocre quality antenna, and I strongly do NOT recommend this.

File under: life-changing kids literature

Looking back at all the books I read as a kid, I fondly recall several books which did more than tell a wonderful story...they truly made me think differently about the world around me. The L'Engle books, the Dahl books, and the Pinkwater books fall into this category. But most of all, Lizard Music. It's the book that made my kid-self reorganize his brain to accomodate a world with talking lizards and lesser kudus. It's still one of my favorite books of all time.

What a family. You have to admire the jewish way of making money from the dirt under your fingernails.....True drama,in capital letters. The story is riveting ,full with revolting characters .Cheating, stealing ,trampling over every possible human emotion and body to get to the box under the bed with the lucre. Family, who cares, stuff them, look after number one .He loved his wife, poor thing,all she wanted was nice fingernails and the occasional facelift. But then to have to deal with the s***ty kids, ungrateful,greedy bunch ,getting to big for their boots. Well , Dad had to put them into their place . Unfortunately,he taught them to well from his own life-script.Marvin & Larry ,you did a fantastic job in getting it down on paper.

I am a mother in my forties. My kids and I loved the first movie. I didn't like this one. They should of used all new characters. I loved the characters in the first movie, but by using all the same characters in the second movie is what made the sequel boring. It was the new characters that made the sequel somewhat interesting like the Einstein bobbleheads, Abraham Lincoln and Amelia Earhart. The woman who played Amelia Earhart did a great job! The villian in the movie was the stupidest character and pretty much helped ruin the movie. Very poor casting for that character! If you are trying to decide between the two movies to buy, go with the first.

I am in awe of his beautiful, uncompromising talents and his willingnes to share it with all, still after all these years of being passed over in the industry. How amazing to be this talented and adored by many and still not given the msuical respect his beauty commands. Every cut on this album is completely soulstirring, and makes you take a look at yourself and life. He's made it tough for ordinary men to come romanitc, because his poetry ssems to have been told to him directly from above! Ahhhh, pure beauty this is, looking forward to the next..........buy it now--but beware---you may never look at your other music the same. Peace and Love.

Slow Down

I really enjoyed Omar Tyree's book "Flyy Girl". His book protrays the Urban Youth of today. Flyy Girl was an excellent book about a young girl who started herself out on the wrong track but reformed herself into a strong black woman. A Flyy Girl! I would recammend this book for anyone to read. It was wonderful novel that kept you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what was next to happen!

OUTSTANDING ALBUM

Eric is back on the music scene after being in the media for a variety of reasons.Hurricane is Eric's most personal album to date.Most of the songs are based on Eric's feelings about his much-publicised divorce to Halle Berry ,such as the title track,"Cracks of My Broken Heart" ,"Man enough to cry" He dedicates a song to his daughter,India,which is also the name of the song. Overall the songs sound beautiful and emotional that you can't help but feel sorry for Eric.

Stopped working after 40 days

I bought this heated seat cushion due to some of the good reviews, but I should have listened to the ones that say DO NOT BUY. It worked good for fourty days then I plugged it in one morning and...Nothing. Save your money and don't buy this!!! Good luck.

A difficult read.

While the premise of the book is true, I found Lewis' writing style difficult to follow. I cannot recommend it to the average reader. Perhaps it would make a good supplement to a university level philosophy course.

ONLY Jean Reno and the lizard made this film watchable.

The special effects were in a word - cool. The movie was in a word - bad. Any movie that has characters who make me want to physically abuse my TV has a problem. At least Jean Reno was a highlight in an otherwise "enh" film.

The Best Packaged Spanish Rice

I have tried many different brands of Spanish rice, including Goya, and this is the best. I can't find in the grocery stores where I live (MD) even though the stores carry every other packaged Mahatma product. That is why I try to remember to get some whenever I order something through Amazon.

For wussy garlic only!!

I actually bought one of these from my local Lechter's store, but as I had such a bad experience with it, I wanted to write a review to protect other hapless consumers.In short: this press is feeble. It can't handle more than a clove, and since it's made cheaply (with a plastic core) it can't generate the force needed to crush even that adequately. The handles bend if you push too hard, and it doesn't fully crush even the one clove it can handle. Mine - after much frustration on my part - finally broke off at the hinge a couple days ago, so now I'm back on the market for a new one.Ironically, the cheap, all-aluminum press my parents have had as long as I can remember is still fully functional.Do yourself a favor: don't buy this unless you plan only to press garlic that's already half mush.

explosive coffee

mine just went off again, this time after making coffee. i was pretty freaked out thinking that there was a real issue until i started reading these reviews.our alarm is in the living room, away from the kitchen, but obviously still too close as when it was positioned near the ceiling, every so often it would go off when we started the oven up. because of this we kept it near the floor, and it didn't have problems until now.one thing it does do is add worry, not take it away. it will have you doubting yourself, your sense of smell, wandering whether you should pick up a phone (gas company) or a hammer (upgrade unit to paperweight), because you had no idea that it thinks that coffee (among other things in previous reviews) is somehow going to blow up your house.maybe it thinks i am drinking too much coffee, and wants me to cut down?well one more time and i am going to switch this with the one in the basement that just monitors the carbon monoxide.

Excellent reference for Asian e-Gov programs

I'm very glad I came across this book. I believe it's the first one that covers e-Gov programs in Asia so comprehensively. Most eGov books I've read focus on initiatives in North America and Europe. As the author Yong points out "Asian nations have their unique needs for eGov". Being an IT consultant working in several countries across Asia, I totally agree with him. This will be a handy reference for me.

Great for extra help...

With taking Geometry this year, I got stuck with a not so great teacher, and decided I needed extra help. We saw this product, and decided to purchase it. So far, it has great animated examples, quizzes, and tests. It also includes a "game" for when you pass a test with a good grade. This program contains eight discs starting at pre-algebra going up to calculus and also statistics, and "real life math." A great deal for brushing up or using for high school, like I am!

Really disappointing

Don't bother with this can opener. You will be frustrated and disappointed. Very quickly, this can opener seems to magically become unable to open anything without great effort to get the blade just right and even then, it sounds like it's a very old rickety appliance as it feebly goes around. Terrible, and I thought the Cuisinart name would mean a good product.

Microsoft Flight Sim 3, the Battle for my Dollar: LOST

This is my first Combat Flight simulator. I wish I could take it back. I have M.S. Flight Sim 2000 pro, and love it. This sim 3, Battle for Europe, bombs. Or I guess, I should say doesn't when it should. Anyway, nothing but aggravation. Most of the keyboard commands don't work. How to text is sketchy, at best. The training movies not only didn't run, but locked up the computer. The booklet implies that once you load the software it is just a matter of double clicking the icon on your desk top to run it. Not so. I have to load to "the proper disk" each time I try to play. It is definitely not worth the trouble or the money I spent on it.

Why would anyone cancel the best sci-fi show in years??

If you have not purchased this show, DO IT NOW!You will not find a better sci-fi show to watch since Babylon 5. I cannot praise this show enough. If I were the fox executive who decided to cancel this show and then saw all of the DVD reviews on amazon etc.. I would probably have to get aboard a firefly with Mal and crew and escape from the planet.This show has it all: effects, music, fantastic acting, awesome story line, humor, a possible look at the future, and what most good sci-fi has a look at real situations that you can relate to in today's society but set in the future.ack! They cancelled this????Incredible.......

Lame Book - Waste of Money!!

What a rip off. A 1st grader would be upset with this lazy, primer. Don't waste your cash. Anyone who has ever had a basic medical term, A&P; or hematology class could have written this. Did not learn anything to help with test. I bought it based on earlier good reviews. The author's relatives must have written them.Kathryn A. Kalanick "Phlebotomy Technician Specialist: Certification Exam Review" (also on Amazon) includes an excellent CD with study and test questions based on ASCP, AMT and NCA topics. The book is very good. Detailed review sections, with illustrations tests. Made a high score with this book.

Works like it should!

I placed the item down in the kitchen where the ants were visible and within a few minutes (1-2 minutes) there were a large number of ants munching away on the stuff. A few minutes later there were even more. I checked on it on and off for a few hours finding the ants still munching away.First thing this morning I checked on the ants in the kitchen and ....there were NO ANTS! I could not believe how quickly this stuff worked. I've checked throughout the day today and there are still no signs of ants in the kitchen.I would recommend this to anyone with ant problems. I'm now working on the trail of ants outside on the patio to see how well it works on them.

Extremely Informative, but out of date

This book was first published in 1986, with the 2nd edition coming out in 1993. I bought and read this book in 2005. I found it very informative with great ideas for running a bar. More importantly, it goes into detail on how to write a business plan, partnerships, investors and etc. Basically all the 'business' stuff that goes behind opening and running a bar. Despite the book being old, the basics are all in there and will work today. However I also feel that in today's world, there are other things that the book does not implement. Things like the internet and wider use of PCs, which I think has greatly altered the way busineses work.

Because this album is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is by far the worst commercially released album i have ever heard. did anyone even listen to it when they mixed and mastered it????? I'm not going into how great they were in the 70's or how good the songs were in the 80's...cause it would only cheapen the experience..I'm totally mortified by this album .look at bands like the roots, a group that uses the sound of early kool and the gang to ROCK shows..

years ago when the original whitestrips first came out, i tried them. i had great results and the whitening actually lasted longer than i had expected. fastforward a handful of years and i have decided to try the premium strips. i'm getting braces in a month, and i wanted quick results that would last at least through a portion of my treatment. i used the premium strips for 30mins lastnight and i had amazing results from only one strip! if my teeth keep whitening like this, i will have to stop using them before the box is done to prevent having the unnatural 'hollywood glow'. i was blown away!

The White Boy Shuffle

A very disappointing book. No question that Beatty's somewhat of a polymath but that doesn't carry the book. I found myself saying "OK, you're young, bright, black, and pissed, what else've you got?" His attitude isn't enough to carry the book and the narrative is exceedingly thinÑit's not constructed to involve the reader even slightly. His incorporation of fantasy elements doesn't work and serves only to further distance the reader from the characters. If you're looking for bright fantasy along similar lines which is MUCH better realized and which pulls you into the story, read some Ishmael Reed such as Yellowback Radio Brokedown, Mumbo Jumbo, or The Last Days of Panama Red. Perhaps Beattyll improve with ageÑ there's little doubt that he's gifted, but his gifts are too rawly displayed here; theres not much narrative integration and very little craft. Its rare that I dont finish a book but I finally gave up about 80% of the way through.

Wind and apparently, temperature changes, cause false alarms. Very annoying at night. Batteries have very short lifespan in cold weather which results in more alarms due to low battery state.

Duti la dracula: or the life of a revolutionary

Very decent debut. While no universal themes were broached,the film functions well as a chamber ensemble piece with occasional moments of hilarity. Still, "My Sweet Little Village" it ain't....beautiful and plaintive clarinet theme and decidedly Tarkovsky-esque ending, although the lamp-post symbolism was a little heavy-handed.It's a pity that hilariously colorful swear-words, readily recognizable by any Eastern European, were omitted in the subtitles. ...No doubt in keeping with American prudish attitudes or maybe to avoid film rating issues.P.S.Available for rent at Netflix.

I found Delillo's incredible amounts of cynicism,pessimism,self doubt,and wholesale use of argumentative encounters to be at best boring and at worst annoying. If I ran into the main character in the street I wouldn't like him and if this is truly a microcosm of life in the states [which its not] then I'd move.

Another EA release to stay away from

Yet again EA has dropped the ball. Not only do they treat their employees terribly (see http://news.cnet.com/Electronic-Arts-settles-overtime-suit/2110-1047_3-6065011.html ), but they also treat their customers like criminals right from the start when they release games like Spore that are almost unplayable even for legitimate purchasers of the game, due to the massive amount of DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the game. EA only thinks about making profits and doesn't care about releasing a good game. Too bad Will Wright didn't go to a different publishing company, Spore might have been a good game. As it is, don't buy this because you will spend so much time being pestered by DRM that you won't have any time to enjoy the game itself.

Not so great

I watched this movie because it was filmed mostly in my town, and I know some of the extras. It's always fun to see your friends on the big screen and see familiar sites. But, this movie is too odd. By the main character's name, "Ida", I thought this must be taking place in an earlier decade. But it's current by the automobiles. With all the perverts in the world today, what mother would let her daughter go with an old man and a group of strangers out on the road? Besides that, the side stories are many and not completed. It's just not a well written movie. But I thought the actiing was good! I think my adult kids would be totally bored, as would my grandchildren.

Great book series for girls!

This book is book three in Sonrise Farms series. Book four is now available too (MORNING GLORY). This horse series is awesome. My nieces love them. The books are full of adventures about Jenny and her palomino horse that all girls 10-15 love. The stories are wholesome and have a morale lesson. They also offer a Christian perspective, which I appreciated. It is hard these days to find wholesome reading for kids.

At the beggining of my PhD I had a brick wall infront of me.Searching for the right paper and referneces for my background knowledge on lead and its chemical formations was a big task. While searching for an appropriate paper, a table came up which was in the first chapter of this book(Table 3 in page 18) I knew that I needed this book right away.After buying the book and going through the book, I now understand more about lead and its properties.Really like this book and it is absolutly worth the money.

Not reliable

I am just about through a 100 disk spindle of these using a NEC 3250A drive. Unfortunately, I had already burned a great many of them before discovering that they just did not make it. When the drive finally burns at a true 8x (about the last 1/4), things just fall apart. No actual errors, but on playback all the problems show up, massive pixelation, pauses, skips. The only way to use these, for me, is to burn them at 6x. Might as well have saved some money and bought the 4x ones.I found nothing but rather rave reviews on Newegg regarding these, but you look around everywhere else and people have much the same problem... they are unreliable at 8x speed. I also found out why the reviews on Newegg are good... they kick out the bad reviews... mine was rejected for no real reason other than it was negative.So, from now on I pay a bit more and use true name brand media. I have NEVER had any problems with any of the major DVD media suppliers.

Not reliable in my experience

I saw all of the positive reviews of this Sony shower radio/cd player and thought it important to share my experience. I bought one two years ago and although the quality seemed to be high (solid construction, good waterproofing design) it broke pretty quickly. Within around ten months the cd player stopped working, and then eventually so did the radio. It was disappointing because I thought spending the money on a Sony ensured a reliable product. Maybe it's because it's a shower radio and was exposed to a lot of steam, but it seemed like a lot of money for a stereo that lasted 10 months, and is supposed to be designed to withstand a bit of water. I expected more and would not buy one again.It was great while it worked though.

No more cleaning!

I liked The Wash because it simply states the complex and painful results of a marriage.Nobu and Masi are newly separated after 40 plus years together. They are in new territory though still attached, as Masi keeps washing Nobu's clothes even 13 months after separating. Clearly they are tied into each other, but how much is love and affection and how much is tradition and familiarity?This is a terrific "little" play about a family, not requiring much to produce. Occasionally beautiful, poignant and funny. Also a play about the advent of modern adaptation. Some beautiful Japanese lullabys too.

Well...

when I first heard about this book, I was expecting some kind of unputdownable story. Considering the awards it's gotten, well, it's hard not to.To some of you, this story provided just that. But for me . . . well, let's just say I don't share the view of the judges. Most certainly I managed to finish the book (it wasn't quite THAT bad, though I nearly put it down). And, I admit, it was kind of heart-warming, but it didn't make up for its lake of interesting plot.If you want something interesting, I recommend Artemis Fowl for kids and the Black Jewels Trilogy for adults (trust me, I might only be 11, but I LOVED it!).

Not very good advice

...in fact, some of these things are borderline abusive.Psychology studies have shown (*exhaustively*) that the strict-parent model doesn't work. Others, such as James Dobson, call this the punishing father model. They result in children who can't tell parents the truth, who learn to be manipulative, and in fact grow up to be abusive (emotionally or physically).Much better books are: Reviving Ophelia (a classic), anything by Alice Miller (one of the best post-Freudian psychologists alive today), and anything by Anne Wilson Schaeff.
