I need more GIRL TIME!
Thank you, Laura Jenson Walker, for writing another book that teases my funnybone while strumming my heartstrings at the same time. I so enjoyed your Christmas book, God Rest Ye Grumpy Scroogymen, and I feel like I'm still in your company, receiving gift after gift through the words of Girl Talk.I love the great ideas for sweet times together with those precious gal pals. In addition, I so enjoyed reading the tender, funny stories of girlfriends that I don't know...yet DO know through the kinship of shared experience.Not long ago, a friend of mine told me that you were busy writing a chick lit book. I hope it is true because I KNOW it will be wonderful. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one in the future. For now, I think maybe I'll just make an appointment for a pedicure. You talked me into it!

Okay but cheap
I thought this was exactly what I was looking for and was easy to put together. However, the trunk pieces don't stay screwed together so the tree is constantly leaning to one side. Very disappointing and really only worth $10.

Impressive Gas Grill
The Minden Grill is basic, but well designed and built to last. Assembly was easy, though having a helper around would be a good idea with the heavier components like the grill top. The grill heats quickly reaching about 550 in about 10 minutes. Temperature control is effective and simple. I like the modular approach to accessories. So far cleanup has been a snap. It is a relatively compact grill with clean lines. It continues to exceed my expectations and represents a real value in quality grills at its price point.

Great watch
Gave this gift to my husband on his birthday. He loved it! He said It's a great everyday watch. It's very light compared to his breitling. Well recommended for chronograph automatic movement lovers.

Franklin 1870 rulz
I have had this dictionary over a year. I use it daily. I use such features as a dictionary, synonims and pronunciation. English is a second language for me so those features are very helpful and importamt . Also , I like the way words are explained. They are explained in simple manner. If I have a trouble still to understanding a meaning of a word I press for thesaurus. Some other time I have a trouble to understand a word in explanation, so I underline it and press a botton for clarification. In addition, I use thesaurus for selecting words when I write an essay , just replacing the same words with similar in meanings. My children find it useful and easy to use too.I love the this dictionary.

So, now I have a holey wall
This stud finder is horrible. I bought this from Lowes and should have checked Amazon first. I couldn't get an accurate reading with this device. When it said a stud was there, i powered up the drill then found out it lied. I must have about 12 holes in my wall.

effective but needs a little improvement
The binder is good--it is just the right width so that it does not curl at the waist when being worn. It also fits well underneath the breasts. The only problem with it is that it is a bit difficult to fasten nice and straight like it is in the photo, and the inside could be made of softer material for wearing under clothing.

Electric nose-hair PULLER!!
I've had a nose-hair groomer (Wahl) that actually cuts nose hairs - dropped it to a bad landing one day, and had to replace it. This Panasonic got such great reviews, how could I go wrong? It's "chosen" by Hammacher-Schlemmer -- must be the world's best, right???The one I ordered did cut the nose hairs, but first gave them a good hard tug! OWEEE!! Well, this can't be right, I said, so I exchanged my first torture device, and the replacement does exactly the same thing!!! Since it's now the only one I have, I reluctantly go through this torture, with watering eyes and clenching teeth, every other month or so.OK, the results are clean-looking, but I really don't think it's worth the pain. CanNOT recommend it!!

Chin strap problems
I purchased the helmet because of price and general reputation and the advice of a friend with a helmet of the same brand. This helmet, however, has positioned the safety chin straps where they intersect the rear inside of the helmet in such a way that they bunch up and poke the back of your head. We put extra cushioning there, which helps, but should not be needed. Our Trek helmet is much more comfortable.

I actually bought this - my review matters
With 100% honesty, I bought this game after quitting preCU SWG (right around the holocron era). The game is worse than it ever was. It's almost impossible to "emmerse yourself" when there's no one else around you. Who could ever imagine a city on Naboo empty????Every town is a ghost town. Players have quit this game bc of the horrible CSR's and Devs. When I walked into Bestine and saw 6 other people at 8pm on a Friday - it made me want to cry.

"I'm not from 'Nashville, Tennisse', Mr Lawler...
This is the perfect movie for a comedy fan, wrestling fan, Andy Kauffman fan, Jerry Lawler fan, or even a "Taxi" fan! This video documents Kauffman's short-lived wrestling career, starting with the "Inter-gender championship". This is a great video.

THE WORST GAME EVER INVENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is with this piece of crud!? It's horrible, graphics stink, the gameplay is wretched, and the crummy battle system forces you to not be able to customize your own weapons. It was possibly the worst game of 2003, and all you do is stab people!!!!!! If you have $30 to spend, spend it on Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga!!! Overall this game is the worst I have ever played!! DO NOT BUY THIS HUNK OF $%*&!!

How many "greatest hits" CDs can Columbia fleece the public
Just looking over these song titles, there's nothing here that's not on a 1000 other compilations!! Columbia has done a fine job of remastering Miles' original albums, but these compilations are ludicrous. It's like taking bits and pieces of Shakespeare (a litte bit of "Hamlet," "Macbeth," etc.) and repackaging them as a book of quotes - it's just not the same! Miles' music demands to be listened to as an album experience (start with "Kind of Blue" and you'll see why it's still a best-seller 43 years later!), not as a bunch of unconnected pieces. Stop the madness Columbia, we're onto you!!!!

Not perfect, but in my opinion, the best option
We have these on nearly all our windows, and they work great. Are they perfectly attractive and wonderful? No, but if you use them correctly--that is, don't put too much cord in the thing (as the directions state--and a complaint of many reviewers here--they aren't meant to wind 50 ft of cord, folks!), and don't pull on the device (again, as the directions state), it should be fine. We've had ours for over a year and they work great. We have a four year old and a six month old and these things make me feel much more comfortable than the alternatives. I'm going to buy more, in fact, for my other windows. Frankly, there isn't a more perfect option on the market right now, according to my research, and replacing all my 30 or so blinds with new, cordless ones, while it might be better, is not financially feasible.

Expect this one to last 15 years like the last one did
I purchased this exact same iron over 15 years ago - same model number, same color, exact same iron. The cord recoiler and the plug for the water broke last week, and during the last month it began to leak. When I received this replacement iron I was thrilled to see it was identical. I fully expect 15 years out of this one too.I am a quilter so my iron gets quite a workout nearly every day. The one that only recently broke ironed smoothly, temperature stayed true, the two steam settings worked perfectly, and I loved the retractable cord feature. When I'd take the iron to quilting classes others would use mine rather than their own (even the Rowenta owners) because of how well it ironed.

Compelling and timely
This book is thoroughly researched and well written from start to finish. The language is accessible to readers of all skill levels while not talking down to them, something that is difficult to do well.Young adults and their parents can learn a great deal from this book, including issues surrounding family dynamics, self-image and anorexia. It also provides a glimpse into the past, a reminder of a chilling tragedy that has been ignored for almost 100 years.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a good read!

Redwood...or kindling???
Soooooo upset by this order. Ordered this as a christmas gift for my brother-in-law who LOVES the redwoods. When it arrived, it was deader than dead. It was the saddest looking stump I have ever seen in my life. Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree looks lush and full by comparison. Never have I been so upset by a purchase through Amazon.

Disappointed
There are some very nice nuggets in this book, and it has a great message. However, calling it "a novel" on the cover is stretching reality. It has a flimsy plot and story line; it is more a series of little vignettes about happiness than a novel. Also be forewarned, it is a very light read! It only has 152 pages, and on those pages the type is at least 14 pt. with spaces in between each paragraph. You can finish this book in a day or two.I purchased this book because of all the great reviews it had received, and this is the same reason I am compelled to write my own review. I was disappointed because I was expecting "a novel". This would be better as a touching email forward about happiness, than as a book...

I ordered the item from Amazon with the price for a new item. However, when I received the item from Amazon today, apparently it was a returned item. The package was opened, and the adapter wiring was messed up. I am so disappointing for Amazon. How can they sell me a returned item as brand new?

Overall good value.
For the money, the trimmer is a good value. It was a little rough at start-up for the first time, but the more it is used, the more smoothly it runs. I bought mine for about $53.00 and got free shipping. It is a refurbished trimmer.

THE BEST LITTLE SHOWER.
So, i am picky about what i buy, it HAS to be top quality, and not cheap, as i beleive you get what you pay for.This item does exactlly what it says, it is durable, it ACTUALLY heats up to 120 degress after 5 hours in direct sun, i was surprised. The nozel is a medium pressure pull/push nozzle, the bag will not rip, it is thick and durable.This WILL NOT hang from a camp shower shelter though, i made a make shift steel pole sticking out of my truck where my tow ball goes to hold it up for camping, its pretty heavy once filled. But, i have since bought 2 because i was so impressed. Dont doubt yourself, BUY IT, for reals.

just a big advertisement for their clinic
if you were looking for a how-to in treating this condition, look elsewhere. This book is nothing but a big advertisement for their clinic and a bunch of personal stories. Here is all they tell you: their technique is called the Five Penetrations of Life and it involves a finger, tampon, applicator with medicine, intercourse, or gynecologic exam. That's it. That's all they reveal. Not for people who neither have the time or money to fly to their clinic in New York.

ONE FUNNY SCENE--THAT'S IT
I am pleased that with the Broadway production of "The Producers", Mel Brooks is getting the recognition he deserves for his earlier works. However, this flick is mainly forgettable, along with everything else for the last twenty years.This movie is a rip-off of 1983's "Trading Places", just as Brooks' "To Be Or Not To Be" was a rip-off of its original.There is, however, one very funny scence where he gets into a slap fight. I had tears rolling down from laughing so hard.So, after 1980's "History Of The World", which was ok, you had "To Be.....", the fogettable "Spaceballs" and this one. The spark had been gone a long time

Good Sci-Fi Fun
This is a good science fiction movie. Well-done action and special effects. Certainly a decent storyline which, while some may find it a tad predictable, is still engaging enough to be enjoyable. I didn't detect any points of obvious weakness; it just lacks that special "5 star" something.

Could be better....
well, as a die-hard kay scarpetta fan, i was thrilled that patricia cornwell came out with another book. one of the best things i can say about this book is that it is not as bad as the last one. i was glad to be reunited with all the characters that i have grown to think of as family, but the quality of the stories has faded since the death in the subway (true fans will know what i mean by that). although i was disappointed in this book, i will be waiting, patiently, for the next one. if you are losing faith in kay scarpetta, try reading books by tess gerriston, tami hoag or jeffrey deaver.

First got to hear this in 2002, and I just couldn't stop listening to this. The score is so beautiful and emotional. The sound quality is clear, excellent. This cast is fantastic; Michael Crawford has an intensity in his piano sections that surpasses what many singers can do in the forte range.

What Travelers Need
These tapes are wonderful because the information is based on the antiquities, and the tour taken is much more meaningful. The traveler can go at his or her own pace. Reading a travel guide and then applying that knowledge later looses something, these tapes are as the title states "Walk with Me". The traveler feels just like he or she is walking with the author, a very knowledgable, real person who knows what travelers need!

Not very powerful
Bought this item in January 2009 for a 24-inch, shallow-bowl, concrete bird bath. It would keep a circle about 15 inches across free of ice on the coldest mornings - but 2009 was a relatively mild winter here.This year (January 2010), we have had temperatures in the low- to mid- teens and the best it can do is an area about the size of the heater. Granted, this provides water for birds to drink but I have to wonder how it would perform in temperatures at or near zero.Bottom line, if you live in an area where winters are typically very cold, you may want to consider a more powerful unit.

Live In London - Only Shortcoming Its Not a Triple Album!!
I'll leave the reviews of the "Concert" (1964) album to others. Its been covered. What is worth noting, its Live In London is a cracklin' HOT album. Super Tight renditions of the faster paced tunes especially. "Darlin" is worth double the price of admission alone! The only tragic thing about the entire Live In London set is that it isn't 36 tracks long by itself !!!

Eall Enchanted
Ella Enchanted is an amazing, fast moving fairy tale about love, magic and many, many tragedies but it is also extremely funny. It is by Gail Carson Livine. Ella Enchanted also won a Newberry honor. At birth Ella of Frell was given the "gift" of obedience (though I think that it was more like a curse), from a fairy. Ella could be controlled by anyone at any time with an order. If someone told her to hop on one foot for a month she would have to do it and if they told her to cut off her own head she would also have to do it. If I were to be in her position I would not be happy. So Ella decides to go on a quest to break the curse forever.I think that this fantasy and adventure story is probably for seven to thirteen year olds. Ella Enchanted is so good that I just finished this book for the second time! This Cinderella story includes evil stepsisters, an evil stepmother, mean teachers, fairy godmothers and an amazing ending that is perfect for a princess.

this one went back
Philip, have a tie-in with Sector watches; Sector Group SpaVia Manzoni 37 - Milano. I have loved Sector watches since I worked in Milan after university, have a few and adored the style. There were a bunch of Philip watches on sale here on Amazon at the end of 2007, I missed them and regret it.I bought this one at the end of 2008 for $79 and free shipping. The watch comes in a beautiful Wooden box (probably the best presentation of any watch I have ever purchased). The watch is good quality, all stainless steel and the band has a nice heft to it. I could easily see this on the wrist of a business associate in Milan.While the girlfriend loved this, I didn't see the point. It's not a conservative design, but then it's not making a statement either.Let's face it. It's quartz. It's an Italian with a Swiss inner constitution but it is still quartz and like a woman with good form and a bland personality I know I'd soon lose interestSorry Philip. Back you go.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!
This is the best game ever made and much better than the first two Grand Theft Auto games. Though some will say there is no real plot, GTA3 has a plot but it is kind of complicated. But you will best understand the plot if you watch the opening scene. You also must pay attention to briefs.You work for local gangs and mobs such as the Moffia. There are 3 islands total, each having little hidden paths every where. You can play for real or you can have fun hi-jacking cars or attacking cops/pedestrians with a wide veriety of weapons.When attacking people you can be pursued by law keepers ranging fro the LCPD to the Army. Overal this is a great game with little secrets everywhere.This is a MUST HAVE!!! Either buy or rent this game today!

Buy Dr. Sears' book instead
I obsessed over the information in this book for the whole of my first child's fist year of life. I anxiously turned to the listings for each month to make sure that my child was "normal." I fretted when my parenting style didn't match the one emphasized in the book. What a waste of time! My second child is about to turn one and I realize that I didn't consult this book once during his entire first year. The information (like the information in "What to Expect When You're Expecting") tends to feed, rather than alleviate, worry about your child's development. Dr. Sears' "The Baby Book" is a thousand times more useful.

Publisher's Dream
It is fairly obvious that the publisher is going to milk this series for all its worth.There are indications that a number of writers/editors may be involved with writing for the series.Nothing at all wrong with this, if you enjoy the kind of pulp output developed in the 40's and 50's and carried through to this series.My Advice: Wait until you see the Blockbuster Promotion which says that this is the last one: finally the Last Battle will be fought and...have some sort of result, which will spawn the next series.And the publishers will enjoy your moneyShannon O'Hara

$50 junk.
I strapped my feet into the Power Wheel II and got into a prone position to crawl across the floor, as demonstrated in the DVD, and the plastic piece that holds the straps together broke apart, shooting plastic all across the room. For $50, I expect better quality than this. I'm very dissatisfied. If you're on the fence about buying this product, go buy a normal ab wheel. They are only $10 and won't break within two tries.EDIT: replying to the guy claiming the problem is from me tightening screw: That is completely incorrect. The piece that shattered had nothing to do with anything needing screws. It had to do with the cheap quality of the equipment being sold.

Not horrible, but not good.
I bought this phone a week ago, and I'll be returning it tomorrow. While the design is nice, the sound quality just isn't good enough. We don't have a microwave or wireless network in the house, we're out in the middle of the woods, so we're not getting interference from neighbor's phones, and the base station was consciously placed away from other electronics, so I expected a very clear voice on the other end of the phone. Unfortunately, this was asking too much; there was way too much hiss on the line, even when only a few feet from the base station.On several occasions, I would hear my voice echo while talking to other people. The speakerphone feature worked pretty well, but the speaker volume seemed to fluctuate. Without speakerphone, I found the volume to be far too quiet.

Saved my kitty
My wife gave me 6 months to get the cat from peeing in the upstairs hallway or she's sending the cat to the animal shelter. I had tried EVERYTHING! Vinegar/peroxide/baking soda, natures miracle, stink free, pulling up the carpet and pad. This was my last hope. With in a week of plugging in the comfort zone diffuser, there were NO MORE MARKINGS!! It's been a little over 3 weeks since the last marking and she now seems to find the box everytime. I am pretty sure it was the dog that moved in about 18 months ago that stressed her out and started marking in the first place. It's been that long of having a urine soaked hallway. But, not anymore!! I still have a lot of clean up to do, but, she has seemed to stop peeing outside the litter box. Great product!!

GOOD WATCH FOR THE MONEY
This watch is very cool because it sets itself to an atomic clock every day, so that if you google "The exact time now" and check the official time on your computer they coincide to the second. I was a little disappointed after daylight savings time it took the watch almost an entire day to adjust backwards that additional hour. Overall I am very happy with the watch.

the duality of business and politics explained
A timely book for the current election, Jacobs describes the complementary, yet different systems that humans have devised for the political and commercial spheres.Using a conversational format among a set of characters, the duality is made clear, revealing the opposing rules for each. It serves as a cautionary tale for anyone who wishes to cross over from one to another: beware, what worked previously will precisely not work in the next!

The most important album in recent years?
Possibly Steve's best album - full of rightous anger and social/political comment. the re-birth of the protest song - at last rock'n'roll has woken up. Emmylou provides the usual highlight. Only quibble - repeat of excellent track one at the end. maybe it would have been better to record acoustic and electric versions a la Neil Young' s Freedom or Rust Never Sleeps. Steve Earle - integrity intact.

nice idea but doesn't work - save your time and your money
I bought this to use in teaching at the university. I installed the software and found that the device didn't work. I called technical service at Seiko but apparently this item was discontinued several years ago. A nice gentleman attempted to help me but it was clear that he had never seen or setup or used the device. I was on the line with him quite a while and apparently his supervisor felt enough was enough so I was told to try something and call back if I had problems. I was disgusted with Seiko and contacted my seller and requested a refund. He was very nice about it, credited me that day, and didn't even want the device back.Bottom-line: don't waste your money - Seiko gave up on it ages ago and they don't support it.

~*Mandy More's CD is SO REAL!*~
Mandy Moore is extraordinary. If you're thinking of buying this CD- stop thinking and do it. It is one of my very favorite CD's in my extensive collection, and is always in my CD player! Teens can really relate to it, none of the unrealistic stuff Britney and Jessica sing about. Mandy Moore all the way! This CD is keepin it real... or should i say keeping it So Real?

Cuisinart Makes Cheap Products! BOOO!
My review is not for your service which is always great. My review is for this blade on a $150.00 food processer that broke after two years. Seems like it should last longer. Cuisinart has really gone downhill over the last 25 years. I had a food processer from them that lasted 19 years with no problems. This one is breaking up piece by piece and it is almost as expensive to replace the parts. I have been very disappointed in several of their products and will never purchase another Cuisinart product again and will tell my friends to do the same!

Poor Polish
In my search to find a healthy nail polish, I purchased this brand and color from my local health food store for $9.50. To say that it is poor polish, is an understatement. It started fading and rubbing off about 2 hours after I had it on. By day 2, you could barely see it on my nails anymore. It streaked terrible. Overall, very poor quality and I don't recommend it.

More money than what its worth
This version of Down was recorded at the House of Blues in Las Vegas just before the release of No. 4. It is not bad, however you can purchase the track on the Down EP. This entire CD spells out hard hits, from Down to Atlanta! Down is a banging heavy guitar track. Heaven and Hot Rods is vintage STP, with a solid drum / guitar combination with singer Scott's beauty of his voice. Sour Girl is a standout song on this CD, it is a very soft song built around the lyrics and it tells a story of love and leaving. Church on Tuesday is a solid track focusing around Scott's vocals and lyrics accompanied with a big guitar. No Way Out is always a fun song, it's a song you sing when you have someone that you do not like and they have trapped themselves. Sex and Violence is another fast paced alternative rock marvel, with brief pauses between guitar riffs to catch your breath.

Poor DVD production value
Quality of the picture was poor as if it was copied from a VHS rental. Not as funny as I remembered. Cliched writing, for a cute premise. Busy-ness did not make up for solid writing. No wonder it took so long to come out on DVD.

Mad Scientists
This is not a bad book however it might be kind of hard for the average gradeschooler to understand, especially where the author does some moralizing about "there were some things man was not meant to know!" Did an ok job in commenting on movies like the Fly and Jekyll and Hyde. God I loved all these books -- they made a really bad childhood somewhat bearable...

So little offered
Not worth the time really. I was given the book or would not have otherwise read it. I found many words with very little actually being said.Wealthy Barber at least gets you pointed safely in the right direction without filling your head with dreams of wealth and power untold.

What's the hype all about?
I am a voracious reader and I was looking forward to "Cold Mountain" because I had heard so many wonderful things about it and I am always looking for good novels about the Civil War. This book was quite a disappointment! Getting used to Frazier's literary style was not an easy task (what's the point of not using quotation marks?) and I found myself wanting to rush through the book just so I could finish it, not because any of the characters were at all compelling. The topper was the ending! To have spent so much time getting through this book, waiting for the reunion, etc., and to be so jarringly disappointed was just ridiculous; it felt false and contrived and I put the book away feeling like I'd been robbed. I gave it 2 stars because it's not like it was a piece of trash, but I can't reccomend it to anyone.

Kate Shugak is incredible!
An adventure in learning on the sea with Kate. A wonderful mystery and as always some heart felt moments of emotional Aleut history.

Teacher's Perspective
I am a middle school reading/language arts teacher. Therefore, I am constantly reading titles to interest my students and bring into the classroom. I like the classics but bringing modern titles entices my students' reading palettes also. Anyway, I had high hopes based on these reviews that this was going to be a great one!-WRONG! This book was awful...as an adult reading it (thinking of kids) I couldn't get past pg. 20. Trust me the words are great! Perfect to teach words in context and larger vocabulary but the content is boring. What regular middle school student wants to read about two ex-smoking, ill aunts who are decorators? I don't even as a an adult. I know that the book goes on to discuss her illness and how they take a "vacation" to the beach..but there is no real excitement. Horvath-try again this one shouldn't have been a Newbery Medal winner.

I enjoyed the personal stories
This book is exactly what the introduction says it is--the personal stories of today's leading witches. Back when I was first learning the craft, I often had a very alone feeling because noone around me seemed to understand what I was going through. It was comforting and inspirational to read about other people who have had similar experiences. The magic of this book comes from the insights the various authors share on how to stand up for what you believe in.

I was waiting and waiting...
I was waiting and waiting...for so long, to be insulted and to be treated with much disrespect...and I kept praying that this would occur and just as the Secret had predicted, it happened...what a transforming experience it was...it made me realize that I had a secret desire to be treated that way...and so what did everything else mean? did it all go out the window? well, all I know is that the street doesn't seem to go both ways...so don't worry, your worst prayers will be answered, your best nightmares will come true!

Terrible. Not even a tiny bit good.
I love to read, and this was a painful book to get through. I absolutely refuse to give up on a book after starting it, and almost had to do so with this one. I made it though, but barely. I thought that The Nanny Diaries was OK, and when I read the back of this I thought I would enjoy it, but not so much. I found the character hard to empathize with and in the end I didn't really care what happened to her. Overall, a book I would never recommend to anyone. Glad I bought it at a used book store for super cheap.

Learn From My Fail
I put this netting on top of three blueberry bushes in my back yard. Unfortunately, the netting was draped in a way so that I caught it in my riding lawn mower. Please note that this netting will get caught up in the lawn mower blades, wrap itself around the blades and then cause the mower to stall. Thankfully, after an hour of cutting this away from my blades, my mower was in working condition again. Alas, the netting is a jumbled mess and I have to order it again.Pros:-Keeps the birds off your blueberries!Cons:-Will get caught up in your lawn mower if you don't stake it down! Learn from my Fail

DRM Disappointment
I have literally been waiting for years for this game. As a Sim fanboy, I spent countless hours in front of a computer playing SimCity, SimFarm, SimTower and all of the other Maxis games.Unfortunately I'm bring told to rent this game instead of given the opportunity to actually purchase it. This decision doesn't affect the people planning on pirating this game, as I'm sure it will end up cracked in a few weeks. This decision affects only those people who actually want to support this game, a group which is rapidly shrinking I'm sure.Enough is enough, I will not support a project that is defect by design.

... Most Meaningful Book ...
Wisdom and greatness are in this book. Beauty, poetry and much language skill. It is action-filled, yes, but it also speaks to the inner voice.

Very Pretty but doesn't hold up
I must say, I got this ring and was thrilled with it. It was my ideal ring, it was gorgeous, I got tons of compliments, hell, in a round about way I got a job because of it!That being said, this ring does not hold up well. Shortly after getting it the seed pearls started to crumble and fall off. At this point there are only 2 1/2 holding on. Also two of the garnets fell out of the settings, and the back of the band broke. The band broke first, and I didn't think much of it; its happened before to me, but when the stones started falling out I was very upset.This is a gorgeous piece of jewelry, but if you love it wear it sparingly or it wont last. Mine sits in my jewelry box because it no longer looks good enough to wear with the missing stones (not to mention the empty settings are sharp).

Irritating, dated, tedious
I believe this may be the first time in years - no, it's the second - I've bothered to return a book. I usually find something redeeming about any book I read. Not this time....well, perhaps as kindling....

Indiglo is useless with "Hidden Image"
I got this watch because I like analog watches and I need the Indiglo feature - but I wanted to try and get away from the boring, plain -dial Iniglo styles. Well, what the description does not say is that the "Hidden Image" - which is visible only when the Indiglo function is pressed - is a dark design that makes it very difficult to read the time. Though it looks good, I cannot really use this watch for its intended purpose so it sits on my dresser - and will probably end up on ebay.

Smart, funny, deep.
Modelo is an excelent novel that satarts slowly seducing you, but towards the end, you are completley blown away by the passion between an elderly virgin and a young taxi driver. A great way to see through the eyes of love a very particular Mexico City.

Good Delivery, Faulty Product
The CD came promptly and outwardly in good order. But when played the CD has a flaw in it. A nasty spot under the protective layer effecting a couple of the tracks.

Compact and useful!
This is a compact little facial sauna/ vaporizer combo! It heats up quickly and is simple to use. It is very helpful in cleaning one's pores when using it as a sauna. It is very helpful to unclog ones nose when used as a vaporizer! This item comes with a special vaporizer attachment which is very comfortable and pleasant to use! The only disappointment I have with this item is that the directions tell us not to put medication in the little cup, only water. I would of liked to put some Vicks in, when I use it for my sinus/ allergy condition. I am afraid to try this, I guess if the directions say not to do it, I will break my sauna/vaporizer. :-(

For the today's disillusioned believer..........
I read this book sometime back and it made wonderful sense to me - more so specially as I was in a situation where nothing made sense to me and the "tomorrow" that I was dreaming of was very bleak... That was when I read this book and I was amazed that so much wealth of information could be obtained from a book that is more or less slightened compared to the other books from the Holy Bible. And it did the trick - it gave me hope, the insights enabled me to set my priorities right. A perfect book for anyone whose future is not so bright, who is disillusioned, who is completely demoralized - and for one who has lost hope in a wonderful "tomorrow". One of the best books for Bible study on the book of Joshua from the Holy Bible.

Blood Canticle
I have read all of ann rice's books and have debated of them all at some point in time. though this book is one of her worst ones yet, I see no reason to slam her for it. In case you people don't keep up with the news, she's retiring the publisher's needed her to write an ending for her chronicles. She had nothing left to give, but hell at least she tried. I don't see how anyone can complain. She wrote for herself not the public so get over her book being crap.

Wrong Colour versus Advertisment
The gauge I received had a silver face and not the black face as shown in the listing. So now I have a silver gauge amongst a group of 5 other black face gauges. Not worth the hassle and trouble to return it.
