Spend more time chasing balls then he get's to play
|
I'm very dissappointed with this product, I purchased for my 10 month old for christmas. 90% of the time the balls shoot out and I'm hunting under furniture for them he ends up losing intrest as soon as they shoot out, he's only entertained while they cycle through which doesn't last long..He has no interest in hunting for the balls...So if you enjoy hunting down the balls this toy is for you !!!

Triangular box is a better choice than this
|
Ferrets like to poo in corners. This box creates two extra corners IN FRONT of the box, and they will go there almost as much as inside the box itself. Not a problem with a triangular box. Apparently a 135 degree angle doesn't trigger the poo reflex like 90 degrees.

All hyped up for nothing...
|
I got this game as a gift for my sister and was extremely excited to play it with her (we are both huge fans of the show). We were extremely disappointed. A lot of the game has nothing to do with the show whatsoever. I think we could have probably come up with a better game ourselves. We actually scrapped the rules and made up our own game using the trivia cards. Unfortunately it wasn't much more fun. Unless someone is handing this game out for free, don't waste your time. Don't waste your money either!

Excellent Overview of Creative mentality
|
This anthology provides a variety of perspectives on a subject of elusive definition such as the concept of genius. It serves as an introduction for the reader to pursue more current and detailed information available for psychologists and literary figures such as Howard Gardner and George Steiner. This book gives the reader a foundation for future research and personal understanding.

Give me a break!
|
If it wasn't for the scandals in the White House created by both Slick Willy and the Wicked Witch, they wouldn't have diddly to write about. The lies in both these books is about par for them. No way can I begin to imagine Slick Willy sleeping on the couch for two months after his heartbreaking confession to Hilly about Monica. Billy Boy used every bed in the place for everything else, why not sleep in one! Just like Hilly stating that they ate leftovers in the private residence that she herself had cooked. Who the hell do they think they're kidding....oh yeah, the liberal left. This book should definitely be found in fine bookstores under the pure fantasy section!

Great, informative, radical and inspiring movie
|
The movie was excellent. It gives an accurate glimpse into gay history in America. I also thoroughly enjoyed the repeating points that it was not Harvey, but the movement that was important; that being political only goes so far because there is also the social aspect (i.e. social organizing); and I enjoyed the linking between this social issue and other social issues like labor, senior citizens, disadvantaged children and so on. Too many times political movies are watered down and sanitized so as not to offend the moneyed interest that underlie the production of the film (i.e. V for Vendetta and how that movie avoided the most important element of the book: fascism vs anarchism). This film is an exception. I hope this movie reaches people, educates them, touches them and inspires them as it has me.

Review: The Age of Elegance : ...
|
The Age of Elegance : The Paintings of John Singer Sargent by John Singer Sargent is another very affordable book...(Note: this is virtually a picture book.)Sargent was well-known for his portraiture, and this book contains his elegant, famous oil paintings (including the one of Madame X). Zoom-ins/ups of paintings are overleaf (for nearly every painting). Quotes taken from numerous novels and papers by Sargent's very close friend Henry James, accompany the art works.My only "complaint" is that a lot of these paintings are the more familiar ones. In other words, if you are a "fan" or own one of those expensive art books, more than likely you have seen the paintings which are showcased in this book. Also, a few of James' quotes get a bit long (but the rest fit the mood;)...Other than that, there isn't really *anything* to lose! The cover has the title stamped in gold foil, and the paper is thick and glossy!So... What are you waiting for?

Returning my book

I am returning this book...The jacket cover an all of the advertisements suggested that Anita was finally up against the ulitmate evil... A serial killer that is a vampire and that preys on strippers.Well, not very original.. because what serial killers don't prey on strippers? but I wanted to see where LKH went with this one.By page 317 of her 650 atrocity named Succubus Dreams, she has devoted only 5 pages to the story line.She is not doing any investigating, she is not being asked to consulate on any Federal cases, she is not doing anything at all but sleeping with anyone and everyone that comes across her path... and then afterwards sharing this information with anyone that comes into her life.I am just going to return this book and buy a magazine or something.

Worked for me
|
I found this product worked rather well. I wouldn't want to run a marathon in it, but then who wears a stick on bra for a marathon? I found the sizes run a little large, though. So, if you're between sizes then best go for the smaller size. My favorite thing about it is that while no bra straps show, it still gives that "I'm wearing a bra" supported kind of look, which makes for fewer obnoxious comments when there are a bunch of rude men hoping the woman might be braless. (Not that she necessarily APPEARS braless; I think people just like the IDEA.) This is a plus side I have not experienced with many other varieties of stick on bras.

Great movie but lousy quality
|
Heros of Telemark is still one of my most favorite war films. I bought the film in VHS format a long time ago and it has not aged well. I recently purchased a dvd of the film from Amazon. I found the picture quality to be poor and the sound was muffled at times to the point I could not understand what was said. I returned it to Amazon. Great movie...lousy quality.

Arista screws with us again.
|
Well, once again, we American AoB fans are screwed over by the record company that is Arista. After dismal promotion of their previous release "Cruel Summer," we get a Greatest Hits package that pales in comparison to the import versions. Instead of the many new songs, we only get 2 - the wonderful "C'est La Vie (Always 21)," and "Life is a Flower," which was remade into the wretched "Whenever You're Near Me" for the Cruel Summer album. On top of the lack of new songs, we receive two very uninspired and not very special remixes of "Lucky Love" and "Beautiful Life".The one shining point of the album, however, is the stellar dance remix of "Everytime it Rains". Now, I'm a HUGE fan of the original ballad version, and this remix doesn't compare to that, but on its own it's simply wonderful. However, I doubt that the album would be worth buying on that alone.

Eh...

I didn't really like this movie at all. On paper, the idea is great, they just failed to pull it off. I really wanted to like it, since I liked the first two Alien movies and the first Predator movie, but I just couldn't. I didn't feel any suspense at all throughout the whole film, I didn't care about any of the characters save for maybe one, and the plot was kinda confusing. I wouldn't recommend it... -Trent Foreman, Author of Nightmare

No such thing as Palestine
|
There is not nor has there ever been a nation called Palestine. There is no such nationality as a Palestinian. It's a made up word. Bashir Khairi is the poster child for why there is no peace in the Middle East. These people who call themselves Palestinians were inhabiting a land that was not theirs. This business of Bashir Khairi and his ilk insisting that they have a right to return to their "homeland" is a total crock. It never was their land! Please take the time to learn the true history of the region. You might also like reading Larry Miller's article called The Jewish Situation which was published in the Daily Standard 22 April 2002. He tells it like it is.

Everyone should have two copies of this book. One for when you have a loss and one to give to a friend when they have a need. I have personally given away at least 10 copies over the years.When I suffer a loss, even small ones, I take a bubble bath and read, "How to survive the Loss of a Love".

Rip off
|
From the moment I heard DT, I was mesmerized by the brilliance and inovative drive behind this band. Petrucci is of course a great guitar player and the band, as a whole, a group of very talented musicians. This album makes all of these accolades go away. This album cannot be described as anything but a huge rip off. I bought every other DT album without listening to it first and, granted that some are better than others, never felt cheated. I will never buy another DT album again without listening to it first, if ever. Do not, repeat, do not buy this album. Specially if you're a DT fan... if you're not yet, it's not with this album that you'll be one.

Just slightly amusing
|
The characters are poorly drawn, not particularly sympathetic and appear to be only vehicles for conveying a history lesson. If it were not for the occasional, and fun, etomology lesson, this tome just might become only the second book I've ever failed to finish (and I've slogged through a vast number of books).Although Michener's history is suspect, his volumes are far more amusing and this book, as a novel, does not compare.

Another whining soldier
|
I checked this book out of my library because I was curious to hear another woman's take on the US Army. I served for 7 1/2 years between 1977 and 1985 as a radio repairer mostly in the former West Germany during the Cold War. I left the Army to stay home with my babies.I found the substance of Ms Williams book to consist mostly of whining drivel. In the Signal Corps we consider Military Intelligence to be an oxymoron and in Ms Williams case that appears to be true. Don't let her fool you. Her experiences do not hold true for the whole Army. During my service I met very few men that I had problems with. Any high school student will tell you that if you are different life will be difficult.In the Army, if you are not with the program, you are against it. The one thing I remember about the Army is teamwork. All need to work together to successfully accomplish the mission. I saw no evidence that Ms Williams even cared about the mission.

These Crown amplifiers are now made in China, but the construction is beefy and surprisingly elegant. Apparently, all of the XLS amps share a substantial power supply with a huge toroidal transformer. These are large, heavy, and well-made amps. The XLS 202 weighs about twice as much as the Pyle Pro amp I purchased previously from Amazon. Although the Pyle amp works fine for sound reinforcement, I believe the XLS 202's performance is closer to a "hi-fi" audio amp. The exclusive use of XLR connectors for the inputs is a little inconvenient but that's about the only complaint I can muster. I should also mention that I ordered this amp on Sunday afternoon, October 3rd, and it was delivered on Tuesday afternoon, October 5th. Amazing.

Below average $30 Noise Cancelling Headphones
|
I bought a pair of $40 headphones in an airport a couple years ago that have developed a hiss so I thought I would buy a new pair and try these out.- The seal around the ears is bad and turning my head from side to side at all would result in a loss of seal and about a doubling of engine noise.- Sound quality is a little lower than you would expect from even $30 headphones.+ The folding action makes them really compact in a backpack for traveling.Overall I wouldn't recommend them. I don't know what to recommend but I'll be trying another pair. Perhaps a more expensive pair that'll last more than a year and keep a good seal comfortably.

Read the SELLER reviews!

The product shown and described is not what you get. They send loose, most likely used, balls with corporate sponsorship logos printed on them. I am not kidding. I don't know where they got their hands on these, but these are not new balls. They showed up in a paper mailer. You will be disappointed and have to go through a lengthy process just to get your money back.

Fat monitor inaccurate
|
In general this product received good reviews here, but the question is -- how many people actually compared their fat monitor results to another source? When I received this product I tried it and my fat percentage was impossibly-high for someone of my build, blatantly wrong. I borrowed Omron's handheld unit from a friend and tested back-to-back and got a much more reasonable reading (although I can't say how accurate that one was either). The differences were approximately 6-8% off! The monitor is useless and I would return the scale if it weren't for the fact that I believe the scale portion to be accurate, the price wasn't bad, and it's a pain in the [...] to return stuff online. I'm not sure how reliable any monitor like this can be so I'm just going to have a professional test performed if I'm interested.

Marty
|
Written by the vastly talented Paddy Chayefsky, who'd go on to script "Network" two decades later, "Marty" is a sweet, perceptive film about two lost souls who finally find each other. Borgnine, a skilled character actor and supporting player, won the Best Actor Oscar in 1955 over several more photogenic leading men, and the film itself--a playhouse gem from television's golden age--won for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay. A unique and irresistible film romance.

Master storyteller
|
Published 20 years after "No Comebacks", "The Veteran", a collection of 5 short stories, or mini-novels, is another classic that should not be missed by anyone who loves the mystery short-story genre. I especially like "Whispering Wind", and I am amazed by Mr. Forsyth's ability to portrait the Wild West. All the stories are good, though. This is the perfect "escape" book.

Blah!

I absolutely loved Karen Kay's first couple of books such as Lakota Surrender and Proud Wolf's Woman. When her latest books came out, I didn't hesitate to buy them...talk about disappointed! I don't even know where to begin with War Cloud's Passion, I found it that bad. The characters are totally lacking in personality, the plot was merely nonexistent and the continuous "humph" response from the hero grated my nerves to no end. After five or six chapters I skimmed through the rest and tossed it aside. I am an avid reader of historical romance, especially anything that entails Native American history, but this book was boring! My suggestion is that if you want to read Karen Kay, buy her beginning work and pass on the her latest efforts.

All of the reviews that you had published when I bought my dvd player last November were really good, so I decided to get one since it appeared to be a good product for an affordable price. I didn't get it hooked up right away, but when I finally did every dvd (all brand new, by the way) that I have tried to watch has completely frozen the machine up. Haven't tried anything else on the machine - think I'm afraid too! Hope I can trade it in on something else because it's certainly not worth the money, even at this price.

Nitzer Ebb at their pinnacle....It's Showtime!
|
Nitzer Ebb really came all together with their third album Showtime. Leave it to the band to come out with some moretunes that'll blow your mind. Depeche Mode-on-crackarrangements and musical parameter changes ("Getting Closer", "Fun To Be Had"), Showtime was the right move to pickup where Belief left off.I could imagine David Lynch usingsome Ebb music in, atleast, 1 of his films. This cd, in particular, sounds likeit can work as lounge music or something to pop in the player after a night of hanging out."My Heart" is their best cut here, especially two-thirdsinto the track when it's just total chaos of overlappinglyrics and sonic assaults. This was arguably their peak. However, this stuff sounds just as cool and fitting today asit did back in 1990. Enjoy the Show!!!

I required for this book to be delivered quickly and brand new as the cover has a code on it that was required for a class I'm taking.

We got a new outdoor hoop and bought this to use with it. Although the "glow" is hardly discernible, that is not the problem. The problem is that the ball fell apart almost immediately.

Among the Great Books of Importance for Society
|
This book should be read by anyone who wants to be, or thinks they are, a member of a "non-discriminating" society. I first read this book seven years ago, and it changed my life forever-- and having been raised by a scientist, in addition to being stubborn to a fault, I do not concede to any argument unless it is razor-sharp and extremely thorough. Singer's are sharp, and will cut your heart out. Basing his arguments on scientific observation, the philosophy of ethics, and stern logic, this book seamlessly challenges the mainstream beliefs of our society. Warning: Don't read this book if you are a conformist or are afraid of change. However, if you EVER in your life plan to participate an argument for or against the case for animal rights or vegetarianism I would highly suggest you read this book first. Otherwise you will merely be uninformed and therefore annoying. Nuff said. READ THE BOOK.

I like Whoopi, her sense of timing is just so good. This movie was entertaining in that as a woman who has worked in company administration I could relate to the frustration. In order to be given credit due, it is still necessary to do everything the men do a little better and in high heels! So creating a male colleague who ends up taking all the credit seemed like a perfectly normal thing. All the chain reactions were just added fun.

Doesn't work!

I saw the mixed reviews and had to give it a shot. Very disappointed!! I put the item it, it immediately sunk to the bottom and started to slightly dissolve or fizzle. That was it! After three days it still did not provide food. I had to keep feeding my beta during those days because it was quite obvious it was starving. After the third day i took it out and ran it under water and i never saw any fish particles of any kind. Have no idea what the fish was supposed to eat as there was nothing freeze dried inside of it. RIP OFF! I had the water ph and temperature perfect for this work. I would like to know from someone who used it with success what the process was like for them, as I still have the rest of them left.

Papa Bear is a Bigot
|
I was shocked at this book. My mother bought it for my kids and I was mortified when read it to them for the first (and last) time. New neighbors move in and Papa Bear doesn't like them because they're "different" (they're Asian Pandas, with different customs, different food). However it resolves -with Papa Bear coming around to the fact that they're actually not that bad, once he gets to know them- this is NOT the adult behavior I want modeled for my children (pre-judge= prejudice) or the message I want my children to receive.

These lamps were expensive, and quite frankly, disappointing. I ordered two, as bed side lamps, but both of them lean a little to one side, and this doesnt appear to be fixable.

extremely satisfied

I purchased this product solely by looking at it online. I never have bought any cosmetic online that I hadn't already seen in person or used. I received it very fast and put on immediately--I was very pleased with the results! It's even nicer on than it looks in the bottle! The only problem I have with it is, for some reason, the brush is thicker than other nailpolish brushes so it's hard to polish my pinky nails (I have very small hands) and therefore gets on my cuticles. But other than that, I love this color and OPI is a great product. I would buy other colors online, as they have great colors and are cheaper than getting in any store even with the shipping!

Heavy Sledding and a Misleading Title
|
I started this book with high hopes found this to be a rambling and self-absorbed polemic. I'm not sure that the title accurately represents the gist of the book, which seems to be a one-sided debate with the scientific world view. Smith constantly tells us where he is going, what he is doing next -- like the reader is interested in the mechanics of how he constructs his argument. At the end, I felt a victim of "bait and switch," expecting further thought on the importance of religion in our life as opposed to an intellectual artillery barange on the modern scientific approach. This was a disappointment and I felt somewhat mis-led.

Worst cook ware ever
|
Hi I recently moved in to a new home and decided to upgrade everything in my new kitchen including my cookware. When I saw the listing on Amazon for this set it looked to good to be true it was. I have been cooking for many years and have never had such problems with food sticking like this cookware sticks. The worse part is that most of the food stains will not come off the pans, leaving me with very unattractive looking pans. I have tried everything to get it off; I am cooking normal foods nothing out of the ordinary. I even have started cooking with more extra virgin olive oil to make the food not stick, still no luck. I wish I could get a refund; I have gone back to my cheap pans.

Getting to the heart of God
|
Over the last 12 months this book has slowly creapt up my favorites list and now is with out a doubt my favorite Cristian insperational book. It is short and is not complex yet in it's few pages Brother Lawrance brings us a glimpse into the very heart of God. And just like Christianity in general the words of this book are very easy to understand but dificult to apply.

What FUN!
|
I completely enjoyed this book. I discovered Maddy Hunter by accident and am so glad I did. I love the characters in her books and find their antics delightful. I am eagerly waiting for the next installment in this series. Ms. Hunter is becoming one of my favorites.

I enjoyed this movie as it took me back to my post high school days. The free for all attitudes have certainly wrecked havoc on our morals of today but I still had a good time.

There's a reason they call it Great
|
Stop being retroactively pissed at your high school freshman English teacher and just admit it: The Great Gatsby is a damn fine novel. This is the third time I've read it (first and third for fun, the second for the aforementioned English teacher, who did indeed manage to suck the joy out of it), and I'm still struck by two things:1) That Daisy Fay is easily the most contemptible female character in literature since Catherine Earnshaw.2) That Jordan Baker's story of how most people (including herself) are "careless drivers" truly shaped my worldview growing up. She ain't wrong.Get over the acne flashbacks and give this one another chance.

One of the worst books I've read in a long tme
|
Dana Stabenow takes her religious predjudices and slaps the reader in the face with them in "Play With Fire". I have read, and enjoyed, her other books. This book has very little plot and is poorly written. Maybe instead of bashing religion, Dana should have focused on writing a readable story. This book has already been deleted off of my IPad.

Basslink II my new pet
|
I recently purchased a Basslink II to add a little thump to my current system. I didn't want it to be heard thumping blocks away, but something to spice up my Kenwood CD deck in my Elantra.Well, the unit does what it says and beat my expectations, for such a small unit. I was planning on installing it my self like I did with my speakers, but balked at cutting into my battery terminals and going through my firewall to run the power connections. I went to BestBuy who installed it for me for about $100, which was well worth my time and effort.When I first heard it started up in the garage bay, I looked at my brother and we smiled and looked at each other in amazement! This sucker rocks even when mounted in my trunk! This will not part your hair in the back of your head but does a fantastic job. I would have rated it 5 stars had it parted my hair! Still I am satisfied and my ears thank me!

NO FUN

Purchased this as a gift for my grandchildren....This is Boring and absolutely NO FUN no matter what your age. I guess for almost $40 you shouldn't expect flashing lights or something a little more exciting. Doesn't even deserve the one star I gave it.

Don't bother
|
Ughh! I was so frustrated with the main character of March in this book that it made it hard to enjoy anything else about it. She was whiny and selfish and abandons all those who truly care about her. It was impossible to have any patience or sympathy for such weak character. You wanted to tell her to grow up and start putting her daughter's needs before her own. Instead, she puts her daughter's life at risk by moving her in with a sociopath. The daughter, Gwen, was very interesting and you felt so sorry for her for having such a terrible mother. I also enjoyed her "love interest", her cousin that lives with Hollis, as well as her relationship with the horse. For me, these were the only redeemable parts of the book.

I read the book long before I saw this film. That was why I watched the film expecting to be entertained but not as much as I was. I could not imagine the film living up to the book it did. Enough said.

Pretentious, middle-brow, melodrama
|
Of all the literature I have ever read in my life, nothing has ever inflicted more pain. I was constantly overwhelmed by an urge to impale the book against the nearest object that would suffice for the task. At one point, my desperation became so acute that I actually attempted to eat the text in an attempt to end the suffering. The book is nothing more than trite melodrama. Its theme -going back to your roots, rediscovering your identity and finding your true place within the world- is likewise trite, as well as pretentious. Kinksolver seems to have an obsessive compulsive tendency towards excessive metaphor usage. Belongs in the nearest trash heap along with all the other mediocre literature ever written.

Call it what you want, but this ain't Camelot!
|
This video ambigously portrays Merlin as cold on one hand, and compassionate on the other. He was neither. Often the mysterious recluse, he was motivated only by his own interests. Absent are the brute savagery and violent blood-letting commonplace during Merlin's time(5th century). The cost of historical and literary integrity results in a slick, commercialized rendition pandering to a more family-oriented audience. Many of the familiar mythologies are either stripped down or missing- The Knights of the Round Table, origins of Excalibur in detail, the purpose of the Quest for the Holy Grail, King Arthur, etc.,. What we end up with are snoozy speciel effects, corny dialog, and a `happily-ever-after' ending which the 3 to 10 year-old age group will find very apealing. If you're a true lover of Arthurian mythology you'll most likely look elsewhere for chivalrous inspiration because you won't find it here.

Fabulous and beautiful!
|
I read this book for a mother-daughter book group. I, being the daughter, was unsure about this book, that is, until I read the first page. I was bubbling with excitement when I discussed this book with the group, and then, low and behold! i was stunned when one of the group members said that she knew Esther Hautzig personally, and that we were going to meet her. Esther Hautzig herself is a wonderful person, and her story of her life in Siberia is the tops.

1 hour 13 minutes and 37 seconds wasted from my life
|
1 hour 13 minutes and 37 seconds wasted from my life.On the grand scheme of life, wasting 1 hour, 13 minutes and 37 seconds doesn't sound like much. I guess I could have slept-in some weekend for the same amount of time.They translated a 94 page book into this fiasco. Well, the contents of that 94 page book would scarcely have filled a greeting card, with any editing at all. If they had SAID on the label that it was for the preschool set with constant repetition, maybe I would have been able to stomach it. At least Dr Seuss has some great rhythm and rhyme, and you can learn from the salesmanship of Sam-I-Am!

It confusing Services?
|
This book is very formal approach to IT services. Please don't give it to your customers/clients it will scare them. If you need humor or analogies to make things clear consider another book.The book is very hard to read with wordy sentences. Simplicity is much better, and this book makes some things even more confusing.

EVERY CUT A CLASSIC
|
It amazes me that only three other reviews are on this page.CHEAP TRICK is not only one of the best debut albums of all time, it's one of top 10 albums of the 70s, and one of the best in all of rock history.This album is nothing but nonstop jams, and I'm tired of reading articles about 70s rock that don't even pay lip service to Cheap Trick. WHY IS THAT? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME? The Clash, the Ramones, New York Dolls, early Elvis Costello -- Cheap Trick was every bit their equal and then some.They defied every label but one: Rock n' Roll. This is a must for your collection.

Troma would've done a better job
|
I am being generous with this 1 star. That's merely for the special effects and good opening scene.However, after that it all boils down to almost 2 hours of boredom. The action is bland and all has been done before. The acting and script, if you can call it that, is so plain and painfull. The talent that is there is completely wasted on this follow up.Troma studios would've done a better job than this.Not worth buying, only viewable if you are completely and utterly bored and there is nothing left on the shelves of your local video store.

I hate this window fan. It is loud on anything other than the lowest setting. It is also impossible to clean. You can pry the two front grills off, but good luck trying to wipe down the blades.

a passably derivative first effort
|
For all of the talk about individuality and creativity in this genre, unfortunately, "Mercy" sounds more like B-sides from those artists from whom Falling You obviously draw influence; Love Spirals Downward, Miranda Sex Garden and Lycia. Musically this disc is sometimes adventurous. Vocally and lyrically, "Mercy" is jaded and uninspired. You're better off buying from the artists Falling You is impersonating.

Do you have earplugs?
|
We bought this vacuum because we were looking for a cheap vacuum to get us started in our apartment. Cheap it is! The first thing we noticed was that it was so loud that we literally need to wear earplugs while vacuuming, and not just the person doing the work. The second thing we noticed was that the filter plugged up quickly and lost all suction.If you want a cheap vacuum that you'll be looking to replace as soon as you can, then this is your vacuum; but if you want a good one, keep looking.

Amazing product
|
This is a cool product, so far I don't have any problems with this. It charges my Iphone, and any other small units. I haven't tried this in a long drive yet but I'll give you guys an update when I drive from NY to TX this summer. Well, so far so good!Cons: The only thing I notice is that you can't really tell if it's "on" since the "ON" button's light is unnoticeable, it is just useless unless you try to wrap your hands around it to dim the area. BUt I still would recommend it to anyone I know!

Problems with the 205
|
I am a runner and was excited to receive a 205, but now my 15 month old 205 no longer works. I have had problems with the buttons on the watch. First the "enter" button quit working, but I was still able to use the watch. Now, unfortunately the power button has quit working making the watch unusable. According to the Garmin web site it will cost me $69 to have it fixed since it is out of warranty.Prior to the watch going bad, I really liked it. It's performance exceeded my expectations, but apparently there is a manufacturing problem with the switches, I have seen others with the same problem. I don't know if they have fixed the problem or not, so I guess buyer beware.

Range Kleen Fat Trapper Refill Bags
|
These are an excellent way to get rid of fat and grease. My only complaint is the wasteful and excessive packaging used to ship this product. These two relatively small items were packed in a large cardboard box with a huge wad of paper packed around them. They could very easily have been shipped in an envelope.

I am Happy with this one
|
I got this key board and mouse and tried to plug it, Had a scare initially but, finally when I called the Techsupport for Kensington, they cleared my problem in a minute. I felt that the product is worth a lot more than it costs, but it would have been helpful if there was a product manual with instructions to use this. The connect button on the keyboard is obscure, so I had to call the Tecsupport. But I amnow quite happy that I got this wireless combo for so cheap. I suggest to call Techsupport if you have problems and no panic.

A lively story about a serious subject
|
Mark's history of his time with the SOE code department is fun and informative to read. With a few worthwhile asides about wartime life, this mostly focuses on his duties of creating and distributing codes to agents for use in occupied Europe. The flip side is dealing with the decoding of messages returned by those agents, and some of the problems that can arise. A worthwhile addition to the library of anyone interested in the secret side of WWII.

save a little money and go with the dvd format.
|
i love the show, i'm still a fan despite the low rating i gave it. the rating is due to the video quality. as you're probably already reading the other reviews. the blu ray just isn't blu ray quality. most of the story line scenes are grainy. my old dvd's utilizing the upconvert from my player looks more clean than these so called "blu rays". however there are some cut scenes, like the flyby shots of miami buildings, beaches and ocean, between story scenes, that are definitely crispy clear blu ray quality. but they're only transition scenes that only account for about 2% of the episodes. not worth the extra money, just get the dvds.

Hot and Soft
|
This did provide some softness to a firm mattress. However, after sleeping on the pad for a while it trapped the heat and became very hot to sleep on. Once it heats up it also loses a lot of its firmness and smushes right down. I would opt for a pad with a higher density than this pad offers.
