0	disappointed....	I was totally disappointed in this book.. total repetition...but never told us anything ..Apparently, he doesn't want us to know either. Can I return this book? It was a pure waste.	negative
1	An excellent telling of the history of man's first flight.	Fred Kelly did a wonderful job in bringing the story of the Wright Brothers to the public in this birgraphy. He starts us off by showing us the environment that the brothers grew up in and how the two had a curious and experimential nature about them. We are then shown the methods they had used in their experimentations for developing their flying machine. We can even feel the edge of competition as Samual Langly makes his attempt at manned powered flight only a day before the brothers and is met with failure.It has been 100 years since that magical day on the North Carolina Outter Banks, and Kelly manages to bring the experience back to us to relive. This is also an excellent book for children to read. I highly recommend it.	positive
0	yawn	It's obvious that Simple Plan is primarily aiming for the younger teens with this. At least I hope they are. The lead singer is not very good, and his voice may grate on your nerves. People bash Avril because they say she is a poser. Avril's never said she's putting out punk music. These guys believe they're punk....they aren't. Still, if you like sugar-coated, trl/radio friendly pop...with the tiniest breath of punk in it, then by all means, you can't go wrong here. If you want real punk rock, go with AFI. I would also like to urge you to check out KILL HANNAH, a little known band whose cd is coming out sometime next month.	negative
0	Not Built To Last	I needed something cheap for faxes, copying, and scanning (I already own a laser printer for printing). The 210C looked like the perfect choice with its egonomic design and small foot-print. Problem is, I can't get the damn thing to work! It makes this loud winding sound upon boot-up, and stays in "Cleaning Mode". All other button functions become disable. So now I gotta take this thing back - and I hate taking things back.	negative
1	You don't need a big stereo when you have this	A small product with the sound of a large stereo and portable too. Great looking modern design. Clear crisp sound.	positive
1	ALAN JACKSON FAN FROM BARCELONA!!!	JUST GREAT!!! He's the best singer this world has ever known! Congratulations from Barcelona.	positive
0	Negative veiw of God	This is not a book for a Spirit Filled, tongue talking, Word of Faith believer. She wants you to believe that God "allows" all the bad things in our lives. She even says that God made her Little Person friend that way for a reason. Doesn't agree with the word of God that I know where it says Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, but God comes to give life abundantly. Being 3 feet tall and disabled doesn't sound like abundance. In the Bible it says God is love. Well love doesn't hurt. So therefore God doesn't hurt. She really has a messed up view of God. She also uses scripture out of context. So please save yourself the money and don't by this book. If you are a faith person, it will only end up in the trash.	negative
0	Yuck	As poor sounding a collection of songs as I've ever heard. I suppose when you mix two 1960's relics almost 40 years later this is what you get, and what you get is not pretty. One flash in the pan and another never was provide the muddy sounding vocals and the mixing was also poor in my opinion. Two songs are identical except that one is a solo version while the other is a dual vocal disaster called 'The Hungry Years'. Sure was a dissapointment when I heard this cd, and I ended up tossing it. Not recommended.	negative
0	beatles1962	Curious book, lots of map, classification of planets, etc. I expected it to have more info about Archer's Enterprise, who mapped what, where Archer stooped and where Kirk stsrted. Or more info about the relantioship between the Vulcan High Comand and Stargeet, but the book has som 100 pages of maps, based in some stuff that recllad the "cold war" period or ven the North/South Korea stuff. Expcted a more informative book, as an Atlas falls short...hardcore fans may disagree, but there mut be better books...	negative
1	Lives up to its title!	I zipped through this in one sitting, during which I laughed, I cried--of course, I only cried because I was laughing so hard. Who knew a novel centered around rape, kidnapping, death and theft could be such a lot of fun? The author's comments really add a lot, too.	positive
1	American Prophecies	This is a great book and a wake up call for christians. If you disagree, I encourage you to read or re-read the Holy Bible.	positive
0	So much talent...So bad CD!	I was really, really disapointed by this CD. I bought it because I love the artists on it especially RL, NEXT, Alicia Keys and Luther Vandross...but when I listened to the CD, I only found 4 songs on the whole CD that I actually liked. Perhaps you need to make this decision for yourself whether you like it or not, I hope you do, I was just disapointed.	negative
0	Doesn't work on my TV!	This is supposed to allow the IPOD to show videos on your TV. However, when I connected it to my TV (yes I am doing it correctly), it doesn't work for the video portion. Only audio works.Save your money for something that works.	negative
1	Great Resource	The ultimate hymn story resource- has almost hymns form every tradition. Must read! Only thing you might want is a volume 2!	positive
1	A Five Star Oprah Book!	Finally, a book that wasn't about some poor, put-upon girl that struggles with life. But a strong heroine who makes her own choices and lives with them. I loved this book. It was educational and entertaining and enlightening. My only complaint is that just as it was ending it seemed to be beginning. Do I smell a sequel? I would love it!	positive
0	Missing the Point	If you are new to JavaScript and looking for a helper title, this isn't it. If you're already familiar with JavaScript, and need specific information, you probably need more than an extremely condensed pocket reference is going to provide. There really isn't anything wrong with the pocket reference - it has correct information, formatted pretty well, and contains the most common parts of the core language as well as the common DHTML references one needs for general use. What it doesn't have, and shouldn't for a pocket reference, are complete explanations for the components, or any usage examples - two things needed by people who are turning to a reference book. JavaScript is really too complex to be summarized along with DHTML elements in 127 half-sized pages. If you're looking for a JavaScript reference, purchase the authors full-sized reference guide, "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" (ISBN: 0596000480) instead.	negative
1	A great score-but missing something	Brad Fiedel does a great job scoring this film. I have always enjoyed listening to it. I am however dissapointed that the best part of the film (mall/canal chase) wasn't included on the release. Other than tha it's a terrific score!	positive
0	BAD BAD BOOK!!!!!!	This is one book I could live without. Johnny was an irresponsible brat. I liked it when Pumpkin died. I think the best part was the Boston Tea Party. Cilla and Isannah were by far the worst characters in the book. For your sake don't read the book. Please listen to me.	negative
0	something of a disappointment	I had hoped for a monthly magazine of recipes that would allow me to put some interesting food on the table. I've only received one issue, but there was nothing in it that I particularly wanted to cook.	negative
1	A Family Must	This is a Great story of the strength of family and the value of having God in your life. It is a wonderful movie to watch with the whole family in front of a fireplace while eating popcorn. Get out the Klennix!	positive
0	yuck!	Don't waste 2 hours of your life! This is a horrible, silly farce with maybe 3 funny jokes in the entire movie. Pirate radio is a fascinating topic, but this movie is neither informative nor entertaining.	negative
1	Worth another look from 1997	We bought it for the kids when Cameron's movie came out, and it naturally is just as nice now, because the details of the sinking certainly haven't changed from a kid's perspective. The paintings are nicely done and a stylish way to show the layout of the ship and emphasize the human side, with a touch of the mechanical regarding the boilers and the kitchen to remind readers that there is a massive working side to a ship of this magnitude.The text recounts the story of some youngsters who survived and people who did not, while keeping that at a level suitable for children. Several paintings and their text described the differences between first and third class, a good hook for a conversation with young readers.The book is short and you can buzz through it quickly if desired.	positive
0	Complete Works, 14 tracks? No way!	A CD purporting to be Joplin's complete works would certainly have more than 14 tracks. Instead try "The Complete Piano Music Of Scott Joplin," ASIN B000003QWN; four disks containing 52 tracks! I think this would be far more likely to be his "complete works" though I think even this one must be leaving out some of the compositions of this prolific ragtime composer. I know for a fact 14 songs wouldn't be his complete... anything! If you just want an introduction to his music, this CD may be all the Joplin you need, but be sure to rub out the word "complete" when your CD arrives. :)	negative
0	TB525CS	I've had this product for almost 3 years now and deeply regret not returning it the first year. I thought it was me - didn't know how to start it. Well, after I've had couple of my friends try it and have as much luck as I did, I am now convinced that it is NOT operator issue, it's the product. I like the fact that I don't have to mix fuel & oil, and I like the fact that I could buy other attachments and have a multi-purpose tool. However, none of that has any value when I can't start the darn thing. It looks like new, but I will be forced to trash it and buy another one. Does anyone have a brand & model to recommend? I would like to stay with 4-cycle gas models - but something that starts easily and reliably. Many times I got myself all ready to trim, with long pants, longs sleeves, eye goggles, gardening gloves, you name it, only to come to the same sad conclusion as the last time - the darn thing will not start. I think this is the last Troy Built tool I'll ever spend my money on.	negative
0	Not very useful	Absolutely basic approach to tour guiding in this book can hardly give you any valuable knowledge of the profession! Obviously, the authors were unable to give us a more insightful and informative text on tour guiding as such, so they decided to fill their book with some other topics more or less irrelevant to the theme. The second half of the 'Tour Guiding Business' gives us an equally simplified approach to travel agent practice focusing on topics such as 'Making your business legal', 'Equipping your office' and 'Marketing a large tour operation'. Think twice before you decide that you need the book.	negative
0	Dissapointing content	The main idea of this short book could be a good one, still, the writer lacks the ability to keep the reader's interest.Personally, I had higher expectations of this book, but to give it a little bit of "props", all I can say is that if you are looking for a "cruise-control" type of reading experience, this is the book to buy.	negative
1	the circle is now complete	with "revenge of the sith" the star wars story is done. and this film is all that a fan could hope for. but my review is really to let you know that the pg-13 rating is a wise one and this movie is very dark (no pun intended) and not for the young ones! WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU LET YOUR YOUNG CHILDREN SEE IT!!!! but do add this great film to your libary!!!!	positive
1	intro to autism	This is a story of Temple Grandin, her autism and the things she's interested in. She's done amazing things and shows us through her work with cattle just what autistic people (may) see. It was enlightening for me as I begin to grasp some of the differences in my grand-daughter.	positive
0	A repeat of other, more thorough instruction...	At only 87 pages, Giovanni Civardi's "Drawing Human Anatomy" is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE of the subject covered over 50 years ago in "Atlas Of Human Anatomy For The Artist" by Stephen Rogers Peck, and since Peck's now classic text covers anatomy in 257 pages, it is difficult to pronounce Civardi's peremptory treatment of anatomy as a bargain and give it a many-star rating. It is not bad instruction or anything like that. What is there, is GOOD. It's just that when better books rate five stars, bargain books like this really aren't that much of a bargain. In art instruction, less is seldom "better". Some will give such a book a very high rating, perhaps not knowing what else is on the market.	negative
0	I'd buy it...............IF IT WASN'T UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	I saw this toy here on Amazon and wanted to buy her cause she was pretty, so i went into the store today to get her, and what a huge surprise!!!!!!! She's the ugliest doll ive EVER seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I luv Kenzie and at one time was gonna buy Masquerade Madness Kenzie but they didn't have her either so i bought a new Bratz doll and i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So don't buy THIS Kenzie....... Buy Masquerade Madness Kenzie or a bratz doll. =)	negative
1	Yankee Pride	This hitch looks great on my jeep. Nothing like showing your Yankee pride with a quality product. Well worth the money!	positive
0	Doesnt close tight.	The seal doesn't seem to have a tight close on it meaning it will lose humidity quickly. Good size for the money but your Gurkha is going to smoke like a Quorum.	negative
1	Good Preview	Great book to read before you go to St. Andrews. Will give you good background and make a trip to the Old Course and the area even more special.	positive
0	Very poorly made...a knock-off perhaps?	I received what I thought was this exact nutcracker last year for Christmas and it worked beautifully. When I went to purchase one this year as a gift, however, the model I received didn't even make it out of its plastic packaging. It broke in half immediately! Either the craftmanship has deterioriated, or the item listed here is at best a shoddy knock-off. I have never felt so ripped off (and I'm a veteran online shopper!)	negative
1	THE dance song of the new millenium!!!!	The remixes are SO good that anybody who likes Donna, dance music or anything close HAS to get this CD. The best ones are the Skillmasters Mix and the Club 69 Future mix. Donna IS dance music and nobody has a voice like that. GET IT NOW!!!!!	positive
1	Funny	Great movie with an interesting twist. Garofalo is witty and quite amazing in this role. Her co-star is cute and together they sizzle.	positive
1	Pretty nice intro armguard for archery, SIZE UP	it's what the title of my review suggests.A nice cheap alternative or spare to have when going out for a good shoot. I liked it and it got the job done.My only advice would be to get the large as it will surely cover all of your arm. The small may...be too small and you hurt yourself.Will look for future items in this category.	positive
1	Lots of promise!	I read this book after having read a wonderful review of it at allaboutromance.com. While I very much enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book, I must say that I found the last quarter rather long and unfulfilling. I found myself skimming looking for the resolution between the main characters. This writer has great promise and I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her titles. I may have read it here that this and other books could really use a good editing. This book could have been 5 stars with a good editing.	positive
0	Not very durable	Worked great for 2 weeks and then the gear on the bottom that spins the blade broke. It chewed up the entire piece that connects the glass to the spinner. Even when it did work there was a constant burning smell. This product is not well made.	negative
1	Excellent Product	I've been using APC products professionally and personally for years now, they have yet to let me down. Many individuals I've seen dispose of their old battery backup devices since they no longer function as they should. For less than a new unit, you can replace the battery and have it functioning like new once again.	positive
0	Light sometimes, but wouldn't count on it.	This flashlight is lacking. It flickers on and off and I have repeatedly had to unscrew and then tighten the cap to get good contact with the batteries. The only good thing is it is light and compact, so I keep one in my briefcase. Still, it is annoying to have to shake it or unscrew it about every other time to get a full beam of light. It is not just the one, I bought two and they both act this way, so I believe it is the design or something like that. I bought a couple of similar flashlights at Home Depot and they are much better, cheaper, and work each time. Check around, you may be able to do better.	negative
0	Not impressed	This is the second time I have tried 3rd party ink cartridges in my printer. I noticed the difference in output immediately. Colors were washed out and on the blue/greenish hue. When replaced with Epson brand cartridges all was brilliant again.	negative
1	Frightening but timely	A book you can't put down. Very timely in this day and age of religious fundamentalism growing world wide...People think it can't happen here?? Think again.	positive
0	Couldn't finish it	I'm a very avid reader and I tend to be open-minded when it comes to books. By the time I got half way through this book, I didn't care anymore. The story went on and on and on and... well you get the picture. I was really disappointed because this had so many good reviews.	negative
0	No range on the external monitor or defective product	Spent about a week trying to get this to work, during which time the seller's return policy expired. We managed to get an outside reading for about an hour when the indoor unit was just a few feet away from the external unit, but then it lost the signal. We replaced the batteries multiple times and reset the unit and it still did not work. Either it arrived broken, or there is virtually zero range on the external temp unit. In addition, the indoor unit is extremely large. I would not recommend this product.	negative
1	I loved the CD!	This album is really great! In a few words: THE CD OF THE CENTURY! This album is indicated to those who love music with quality and full of harmony!	positive
0	Lives up to its name or size	While I am a big fan of the ps2. This game [is bad]. The graphics are horable. and the game play is just as bad. your only control is flight and the spinning of the controler, which I find is all you do in this game. Very boreing. Bite spin,Bite spin,Bite spin. Does it sound fun yet... 19 year old gamer S.d. C.a.	negative
0	Disappointing product	I used this product in my kitchen. Twenty days past the warranty expiration, the picture went blank and the unit made a buzzing noise. Customer service referred me to a service center, for which I would need to pay $65 for a diagnosis. Very disappointing for a $200 tv/dvd.	negative
0	Useless	The product connects well to the TV and has a nice screen. Much better than Western Digital's hard to read blue. But it will not read or acknowledge my media.	negative
1	Works Great on the XBox 360	I purchased this item to connect my XBox 360 to the internet, and I have to say the product works well. Lag is minimal, except when initially connecting to XBox Live.The only real problem I have with the device is the difficulty I had installing it. For whatever reason, the software that it comes bundled with is defective; I attempted to connect to the device with my computer but kept receiving a "Connect failed!" message. I had to download it from the Linksys website after rummaging the internet and finding that this problem is a common occurrence. I was also disappointed to find that it only supports WEP encryption, not WPA; I had to change my WLAN security settings just to be able to use it.All in all, however, it was a short time to set it up and get online. I recommend it, as this device is half the price of the Microsoft wireless ethernet adapter for the 360.	positive
1	Great book for toddlers	This book is an obvious great choice for toddlers. My 15 mth old son likes to point at all the picures and flip through the pages. The book is pretty sturdy, which is great because he is hard on most things.	positive
1	Unusual and unforgettable	Timmy and Pete, best friends and pre-teens, go to Myers pond to fish in the sleepy town of Delaware, Ohio. It starts there. There they meet the turtle boy.This is not a normal paranormal story. It doesn't have the gore and thrills that have become standard fare in this genre, and that's a good thing in my view. This is an eerie book with sneaky undertones that grab and hold you. Don't expect any vampires or blood and guts, but do expect to be surprised and chilled.The writing, the characters and the settings are all beautiful. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the latter third and the ending, which were down a peg from the rest of the book.	positive
1	good playard for price	we recieved this as a shower gift and we like it very much. we have it set up beside our bed so our daughter can sleep in our room. since our bab is only a month old we are able to use the extra space at her feet to store diapers and wipes for the night so we don't have to make trips to her room to get that stuff. there are a few things that we do not like. the matress, when used as the bassinet, now sinks in the middle so we can't lay her on either side or she will roll to the middle. also, our bed is tall and if you are using it next to your bed it is very uncomfy trying to lift her out in the middle of the night for feedings. other than those two things it is great!	positive
1	Toddler Loves It	My 18 month old son loves this. He gets excited by the bears and loves pushing the button to activate the song. Beautiful pictures of bears.	positive
1	Action	Lot's of action and special effects. Not to thrilled with producers selection of the lead man.	positive
1	2 thumbs up	if you ever loved superman than your going to love this series. it is a show about when superman was a boy in high school.	positive
0	Who ever wrote this book...	Who ever wrote this book must have the dumbest tattoos on their body. Like many others, I was drawn by the cover and interested to see what cool designs lay inside. There was no imagination in any of the drawings, and I guess that's the readers responsibility. But seriously, there are more interesting works on the internet to look at for free. Unlike the rest of everyone else on here, however, I got the book from the library so it cost me nothing. At least I wasn't stupid enough to buy it! Oh!	negative
0	Not Up To Par	I suppose Doris Day's career was just winding down, the writers were getting tired, or perhaps things were just changing too much in those sometimes radical late 1960s for the comedy formula to continue much longer. Whatever the reason, this film just isn't up to par or expectations for a Doris Day sparkling comedy. There are a few laughs scattered here and there, but the characters are oddly almost cold and hardly sympathetic so it's difficult to care about what happens to them, even Doris's character. The film is OK to own if you're just collecting Doris Day films or sixties comedies, but it really isn't all that entertaining.	negative
1	AWESOME FREAKING SHIRT!!!	This is one of the best band shirts I've come across. When looking for a new T-Shirt, I knew I had to get this one right away when I came across it. The design is awesome and the colors are cool as well. This T-Shirt will transport you to another time, which is alone worth the price!	positive
0	Won't hold up if left outside!	I purchased the Duracord model thinking it would hold up well if left outside. While the hammock itself has held up very well, the spreader bars did not. After only 1.5 years, the hammock roping looks just as it did when I bought it. However, BOTH of the spreader bars have essentially disintigrated and split completely in two in multiple locations. This renders the hammock itself useless. Pawleys Island needs to consider a different composition material for the spreader bars which will hold up as well as the roping itself. If you're thinking you're getting a hammock that will hold up well left outside and provide years of service, save your money and buy a cheaper cotton or polyester version.	negative
1	Good for all ages	I have two children, 7 and 3 years old and both loves this book (their parents too).It is full of imagination and possibilities. We read it almost everyday and have anice time playing with our own aditions to the zoo. I encourage all parents to addthis book to their children's library.	positive
1	Great buy	This mat is comfotable, stays in place and rolls up easily. It is also easy to clean. I use it for both yoga and pilates and have no problems with it	positive
1	Magnificent urban angst	A thoroughly compelling first novel. Well drawn characters and a believable plotline with unexpected bends in the road. Like eavesdropping on the personal conversations of three busted denizens of New York City. Well done. Deserves to be widely read.	positive
0	Not good unless you have a good knowledge of math	I'm not a math cripple but I will admit that I have not always been that great when it comes to math. I have recently grown a hunger for science in general, ( including mathematics of course) and thought I should look for a book to help me grasp math from another perspective. I actually read many of the pages in the book and while I did understand the first couple pages , I found myself lost as I continue reading. As another reviewer mentioned , this is not a book for the layman. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is not that good at math. I guess I'll just keep looking elsewhere to find books on the subject that will help me on my journey to become better at math.	negative
0	Siegel "plagiarized" his own book!	Like the 1965 Ford Mustang, Siegel's first novel, Special Circumstances, was a big hit. So, just like Ford, when Siegel decided it was time for the next book, he simply reworked a few lines on the original and passed it off as "New." It isn't -- at all. It's déjà vu. In the many hundreds of books I've had the pleasure of reading, I've never encountered such a transparent rewrite. My mistake, I suppose, was in ordering the two books at the same time and reading them back-to-back. If I'd had a couple of years "between books" like some of the reviewers, perhaps it wouldn't have been so noticeable. Maybe his later books use new plots, secondary characters, courtroom scenes, legal and evidentiary arguments, etc. I for one am unwilling to find out. Suggestion: read just one of his books and you'll love it; if you read two, it'll be like "Groundhog Day."	negative
0	Lots of good advice but poorly organized	The book is filled with plenty useful advice but it is so poorly organized that its potential effectiveness is marginalized. I had hoped to learn some key strategies and tools to use in a converstation. However, I spent most of my time trying to understand how each little tidbit of advice fit into the bigger picture of actually starting and controlling a conversation. Somewhere amongst all the advise are the key elements to becoming a better communicator but its left to the reader to assemble them into a practical guide to conversation.	negative
0	Bad Beginning	This book begins a series with its own style, different from the typical childrens book. However, this first one is not wonderful. It was not very funny, the characters were flat, the story just fails to capture the way I expected. It seems like Lemony Snicket used this book to develope this style of writing. His next few books are better, though, and go on improving as you go.	negative
1	GREAT STORY; LOVED THE MALE LEAD AND THE AWESOME FEMALE LEAD	I COULD APPRECIATE THIS BOOK BECAUSE THE AUTHOR USED A FEMALE LEAD CHARACTER THAT WAS A FULL-FIGURED WOMAN. MS. MANEES SHOWED THAT ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. I LOVED THE TROPICAL SETTING AND THE DIVERSITY OF PERSONALITIES IN THIS BOOK. THE EVIL WITCH CHANTAL WAS A BONUS. READERS ALWAYS LOVE TO HATE SOMEONE.	positive
1	Awesome hair detangler for long, curly hair!!	I don't normally write reviews, but I HIGHLY recommend this product.I have very dry, long, curly hair which gets knotted & tangled up quite a bit.I primarily use this product as a detangler after showering, and it's truly amazing, I can comb through my hair with relative ease!! It also has a pleasant, light aroma.Thank you for such a great product!	positive
1	Useful and Insightful	There are a great many screenwriting books out there but I found this one to be the most practical. If you want to get your script read and to move on past the readers at a production company this book gives you the tools to accomplish that. I found much of what is in this book to be invaluable. The writing is funny and the examples he gives only made my writing better. It is a very helpful book and I keep returning to it as I write. I am truly glad I found this book.	positive
0	Pointless and awful.	The Juror starring Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin looked like such an entertaining thriller but this movie is just so stupid. I couldn't believe how dumb the plot and ending was. And who the hell what's to see Anne Heche naked? not me! One of the worst movies I have ever seen, use this one as a coaster.	negative
0	buggy & bad customer service	This program simply does not work correctly. Program has many bugs and they are not responsive. In fact, their customer service, by email, and by phone is even worse than the usual poor service one gets on tech lines. DO not waste your money.	negative
1	Enchanted.............	I could not find this in stores and am very happy to find it here. I got this as a gift first time and when I wanted to get more it was gone from the stores. I love this parfume. I am pleased with this purchase. Thanks Amazon....	positive
0	Doesn't Work On My Dell, Either	What a worthless piece of software. It's easy to use, but to go ahead and actually burn a DVD fails completely on my new Dell Optiplex with a DVD-RW drive. It goes through the process of converting, etc. Suddenly, just as it's finally ready to burn the DVD, I got a "Failed To Send Timestamp" and it dumps the burn. WTF? This error message isn't in the manual. I don't know what the problem is, I use blank DVD media all the time with my DVD copier and other software.Yesterday I broke down and bought Serif MoviePlus X3. Hopefully this'll work better than the 10 year-old VideoWave 5.If you want to make a mini-DVD on a CDR it works fine (the CD will only play on a computer drive). I have yet to try making a VCD.A good editing learning tool but I would not recommend this to anyone because of the incompatibility with my DVD drive.	negative
1	Very good!	I gave it to my best friend who suffered for not finding the right person, she loved it! It helps you focus on the problem instead of thinking you are the problem. Easy reading, good advice.	positive
1	House (season 6)	I Love this show! We received this product very quickly in perfect condition. My wife and I love that we don't have to deal with commercials and we can watch more than one episode when we sit to watch it :)	positive
1	amazes me over and over	The chemistry between Ana Carolina and Seu Jorge is just magical. Hope we can experience that here in the States in live someday. Some subtitles are missing on DVD, but you get to taste how fun it must have been to just hang out with those amazingly talented, down to earth, cool musicians at the bar! Enjoy!	positive
1	Fantastic!	After reading Ravens, http://www.amazon.com/Ravens-George-Dawes-Green/dp/0446538973/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1279287512&sr;=1-3 , by the same other, I knew I had to scoop up everything he had written.George Dawes Green is an extremely talented writer, Ive never read anything quite like his books. He literally keeps you on your toes and when you think you have everything figured out, he flips the world upside down! I love all of his books and I most definitely recommend them! In fact I came onto amazon.com to purchase more copies as Christmas gifts last year and everyone recipient loved the books!	positive
0	Leaky	Yep, it's a leaker. Listen, I take care of my appliances. You know how some folks just use something and then toss it aside till next time? I rinse out the hose, rinse out the tanks... wipe down the machine... you get the picture.This thing leaks. Not always, but regularly. And then you have that mess to clean up.Poorly designed.Look elsewhere.	negative
1	So far so good...	I've wanted one of these for a long time. I originally bought a Cold Steel Trench Hawk, which is fully bad@$$. But I found the overall weight, just a bit heavy. I want something I can wield with speed and ease. So the lighter and more highly reviewed F01T Tactical Hawk appealed to me. I think the Tactical Hawk is def. more tactical than the Trench Hawk. But the Trench Hawk is better for chopping and similar tasks, although the Tactical Hawk boasts a 'hammer' pad. When I get a chance to throw the hawk and goof off with it some more, I'll update the review. I've marked only 4 stars because it's still a bit weighty, but that just means I need to bulk up. Also, I've yet to really field test it, but I anticipate it's gonna be awesome. This hawk is for home defense. I live in a rough area in an east coast city that is far worse than NYC and possibly Newark. Definitely glad to have this hawk nearby.	positive
0	Disappointing	As stated by previous posts, Ms. Kalaria is inconsistant in her explanations and springs some moves not introduced into the routines. It IS more like an aerobics class than a fun dance instruction that gets your body up off the couch and moving. I have previous dance experience and am quick to pick up steps but found her footwork hard to follow as she is wearing flared workout pants that cover her feet so you do not get an actual look at the feet doing the footwork. This is a program that is for the more physically fit, because again, as stated previously, there is a LOT of hopping, jumping, and squatting. If you are carrying excess weight (like me)you should probably start out with something with less impact, like the "Goddess" Workouts or the "Bellydance Fitness for Beginners." I hope Ms. Kalaria tries again. Bhangra is fun and entertaining and I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!	negative
1	Great Cordless System	Absolutely great. Sounds quality is very good and the voice enhancer feature makes the voice quality exceptional. Lots of nice features such as pushing saved phone numbers to all handsets. I bought this system to replace an older 2 gig system that interfered with my home wireless network, and it works just fine everywhere in the house. No problems with drops outs. Overall, I have no complaints at all. Recommend you spend the extra money for this set, it is worth it!	positive
0	Won't work on a Mac Mini!	Wanted to connect a Mac Mini to a TV that had a component connection. Tried every configurations on 2 different TV's. No dice on either. So I went with a Apple DVI-to-Composite/S-Video adapter. Now that works flawlessly!	negative
1	An excellent insight into the culture of tags and piecing	Crimes of Style is a journey into the burgeoning underground Denver Graffiti scene. Jeff Ferrel's participant observations of local taggers and writers gives a fascinating insight into a sometimes beautiful and sometimes offensive subculture of vandalism....or is it? The question of vandalism or art remains an underlying question throughout Ferrel's book. And the reader must decide for himself where the line between art and crime stands. Jeff Ferrel's work is divine inspiration to the fledgling sociologists like myself.	positive
1	For the college-level art school library	This very technical guide will reach beyond the arts to any involved in color photography or the science of reproduction: Principles Of Color Reproduction covers the underlying principles of successful color reproduction, masking methods, tone reproduction and influences on color results, with many formulas covering densities, color separation and balance, and calculations for reflection. Very technical and perfect for the college-level art school library.	positive

0	Problems	I agree with Peter Williams. It was great to finally see some episodes of this long-forgotten series come out on DVD. BUT...the quality is apalling!! Discs 2 and 3 are full of pixelation problems...and the episode THE BLOWUP (on disc 2) jams...then jumps 6 minutes ahead. The result...a 48 minute episode plays for about 42 minutes...missing a few vital scenes in the middle of the episode. More care in mastering (or manufacturing) is required from Timeless Media before I'll be buying any more of their DVDs.	negative
0	Do not buy this movie!!	I bought this movie thinking it was the one that was just released. I paid the same price as if it were the big name movie, which I thought it was. What a disappointment, the camera operator had close ups of the actors lips when they spoke, people were speaking in the film and you could not see them in the movie, and quite frankly it look like middle school children could have done a better job with this film.	negative
1	A Good Look at the Conclusion of the Adoption Process	This DVD is polished and interesting to watch. It is a great tool for showing people why one might want to adopt from China and what the process looks like when it's all done. (It doesn't represent well the 12 months or more of preparation, paperwork and expense that led up to receiving a little girl.)I could argue pro's and con's with the other reviewers about some of the faults they found in the program--and it certainly isn't a perfect product--but I think the producers did a very good job within the constraints of the medium and time alloted. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in the subject of adoption from China.	positive
1	Cargo Vest	This is terrific! Just what I was looking for. I had to look up why there's a cotton patch on the pocket (it's for holding fishing lures). The vest fits perfectly and is just what I needed. It will hold everything. I don't need my backpack anymore.	positive
1	Great Cleaner for the $$$	We haven't had any trouble from using ours. Nothing has broken.It cleans really well. I can't tell any cleaning difference thanusing the "rentals", but at least I know what's been cleaned-upwith it in the past. Pretty simple to use, even with the attachments.We use it about once a month to keep the carpets cleaner. Bought new 3/2009A+++ value @ $150	positive
1	Great quality for the price, some learning curve required	This was a great "beginner" espresso machine for my family. It is messy if you don't use it right, so you have to learn, for instance, that it "likes" a fine grind and will leak if you try to pack a courser grind. The steamer nozzle also is set a bit low, so you have to either elevate the unit or use a smaller steamer container than you might otherwise want to use, otherwise you will be tilting the container a lot and making a mess. It does not have a separate steam chamber, so you do have to wait for it heat from "brew" to "steam" levels, but it doesn't take long. But once you figure out the idiosyncracies, it works like a charm.	positive
0	Nothing special	It just sounds like outtakes compared to their classic first two albums. Uncritical fans are raving [as they would rave about anything], but none of this is top of the line material. I'm sorry I yielded to curiosity and hype.	negative
1	Thomas Train	I ordered this item for my two-year-old grandson for his birthday. He absolutely loved it. It was quick and easy to set up and you can add more track and cars without great expense. It is battery-operated, so that makes it even better!	positive
0	My son liked it ok...	It's Halo 2 and its the same game that came out years ago, now for "WINDOWS VISTA ONLY" on the PC. My 9 year old liked it but never played it much despite going nuts begging till I purchased it for him. He still plays Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 waaay more. Overall I was not personally impressed, I was bored in 5 mins.	negative
0	Pathetic excuse for a horror movie	this was one sick movie. if all you need from a horror movie is blood and gore then this movie is for you. the acting from the family members in the movie wasnt too bad but as far as anything else in the movie it was just ridiculous. i like pshycological thrillers but this definitely was not one of those. i wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone	negative
1	Willis Harman's finest book	Willis Harman's "An Incomplete Guide to the Future" started me on future studies, and his writings have helped focus my studies since. "Global Mind Change" is a powerful statement, digging deep into our language and assumptions as he explores the history and current thought in humanity's attempts to define reality through science. A must read for the new century, and an excellent text for interdisciplinary social and scientific studies.	positive
1	I'm in love!!!	I have had my Nikon D100 for many years with a wide angle and a telephoto lens. I was looking to sell it or replace it, I just didn't like it much.

An excellent telling of the history of man's first flight.

Fred Kelly did a wonderful job in bringing the story of the Wright Brothers to the public in this birgraphy. He starts us off by showing us the environment that the brothers grew up in and how the two had a curious and experimential nature about them. We are then shown the methods they had used in their experimentations for developing their flying machine. We can even feel the edge of competition as Samual Langly makes his attempt at manned powered flight only a day before the brothers and is met with failure.It has been 100 years since that magical day on the North Carolina Outter Banks, and Kelly manages to bring the experience back to us to relive. This is also an excellent book for children to read. I highly recommend it.

*yawn*

It's obvious that Simple Plan is primarily aiming for the younger teens with this. At least I hope they are. The lead singer is not very good, and his voice may grate on your nerves. People bash Avril because they say she is a poser. Avril's never said she's putting out punk music. These guys believe they're punk....they aren't. Still, if you like sugar-coated, trl/radio friendly pop...with the tiniest breath of punk in it, then by all means, you can't go wrong here. If you want real punk rock, go with AFI. I would also like to urge you to check out KILL HANNAH, a little known band whose cd is coming out sometime next month.

Not Built To Last

I needed something cheap for faxes, copying, and scanning (I already own a laser printer for printing). The 210C looked like the perfect choice with its egonomic design and small foot-print. Problem is, I can't get the damn thing to work! It makes this loud winding sound upon boot-up, and stays in "Cleaning Mode". All other button functions become disable. So now I gotta take this thing back - and I hate taking things back.

Negative veiw of God

This is not a book for a Spirit Filled, tongue talking, Word of Faith believer. She wants you to believe that God "allows" all the bad things in our lives. She even says that God made her Little Person friend that way for a reason. Doesn't agree with the word of God that I know where it says Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, but God comes to give life abundantly. Being 3 feet tall and disabled doesn't sound like abundance. In the Bible it says God is love. Well love doesn't hurt. So therefore God doesn't hurt. She really has a messed up view of God. She also uses scripture out of context. So please save yourself the money and don't by this book. If you are a faith person, it will only end up in the trash.

As poor sounding a collection of songs as I've ever heard. I suppose when you mix two 1960's relics almost 40 years later this is what you get, and what you get is not pretty. One flash in the pan and another never was provide the muddy sounding vocals and the mixing was also poor in my opinion. Two songs are identical except that one is a solo version while the other is a dual vocal disaster called 'The Hungry Years'. Sure was a dissapointment when I heard this cd, and I ended up tossing it. Not recommended.

Missing the Point

If you are new to JavaScript and looking for a helper title, this isn't it. If you're already familiar with JavaScript, and need specific information, you probably need more than an extremely condensed pocket reference is going to provide. There really isn't anything wrong with the pocket reference - it has correct information, formatted pretty well, and contains the most common parts of the core language as well as the common DHTML references one needs for general use. What it doesn't have, and shouldn't for a pocket reference, are complete explanations for the components, or any usage examples - two things needed by people who are turning to a reference book. JavaScript is really too complex to be summarized along with DHTML elements in 127 half-sized pages. If you're looking for a JavaScript reference, purchase the authors full-sized reference guide, "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" (ISBN: 0596000480) instead.

Worth another look from 1997

We bought it for the kids when Cameron's movie came out, and it naturally is just as nice now, because the details of the sinking certainly haven't changed from a kid's perspective. The paintings are nicely done and a stylish way to show the layout of the ship and emphasize the human side, with a touch of the mechanical regarding the boilers and the kitchen to remind readers that there is a massive working side to a ship of this magnitude.The text recounts the story of some youngsters who survived and people who did not, while keeping that at a level suitable for children. Several paintings and their text described the differences between first and third class, a good hook for a conversation with young readers.The book is short and you can buzz through it quickly if desired.

Complete Works, 14 tracks? No way!

A CD purporting to be Joplin's complete works would certainly have more than 14 tracks. Instead try "The Complete Piano Music Of Scott Joplin," ASIN B000003QWN; four disks containing 52 tracks! I think this would be far more likely to be his "complete works" though I think even this one must be leaving out some of the compositions of this prolific ragtime composer. I know for a fact 14 songs wouldn't be his complete... anything! If you just want an introduction to his music, this CD may be all the Joplin you need, but be sure to rub out the word "complete" when your CD arrives. :)

TB525CS

I've had this product for almost 3 years now and deeply regret not returning it the first year. I thought it was me - didn't know how to start it. Well, after I've had couple of my friends try it and have as much luck as I did, I am now convinced that it is NOT operator issue, it's the product. I like the fact that I don't have to mix fuel & oil, and I like the fact that I could buy other attachments and have a multi-purpose tool. However, none of that has any value when I can't start the darn thing. It looks like new, but I will be forced to trash it and buy another one. Does anyone have a brand & model to recommend? I would like to stay with 4-cycle gas models - but something that starts easily and reliably. Many times I got myself all ready to trim, with long pants, longs sleeves, eye goggles, gardening gloves, you name it, only to come to the same sad conclusion as the last time - the darn thing will not start. I think this is the last Troy Built tool I'll ever spend my money on.

Not very useful

Absolutely basic approach to tour guiding in this book can hardly give you any valuable knowledge of the profession! Obviously, the authors were unable to give us a more insightful and informative text on tour guiding as such, so they decided to fill their book with some other topics more or less irrelevant to the theme. The second half of the 'Tour Guiding Business' gives us an equally simplified approach to travel agent practice focusing on topics such as 'Making your business legal', 'Equipping your office' and 'Marketing a large tour operation'. Think twice before you decide that you need the book.

Dissapointing content

The main idea of this short book could be a good one, still, the writer lacks the ability to keep the reader's interest.Personally, I had higher expectations of this book, but to give it a little bit of "props", all I can say is that if you are looking for a "cruise-control" type of reading experience, this is the book to buy.

A repeat of other, more thorough instruction...

At only 87 pages, Giovanni Civardi's "Drawing Human Anatomy" is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE of the subject covered over 50 years ago in "Atlas Of Human Anatomy For The Artist" by Stephen Rogers Peck, and since Peck's now classic text covers anatomy in 257 pages, it is difficult to pronounce Civardi's peremptory treatment of anatomy as a bargain and give it a many-star rating. It is not bad instruction or anything like that. What is there, is GOOD. It's just that when better books rate five stars, bargain books like this really aren't that much of a bargain. In art instruction, less is seldom "better". Some will give such a book a very high rating, perhaps not knowing what else is on the market.

I read this book after having read a wonderful review of it at allaboutromance.com. While I very much enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book, I must say that I found the last quarter rather long and unfulfilling. I found myself skimming looking for the resolution between the main characters. This writer has great promise and I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her titles. I may have read it here that this and other books could really use a good editing. This book could have been 5 stars with a good editing.

Light sometimes, but wouldn't count on it.

This flashlight is lacking. It flickers on and off and I have repeatedly had to unscrew and then tighten the cap to get good contact with the batteries. The only good thing is it is light and compact, so I keep one in my briefcase. Still, it is annoying to have to shake it or unscrew it about every other time to get a full beam of light. It is not just the one, I bought two and they both act this way, so I believe it is the design or something like that. I bought a couple of similar flashlights at Home Depot and they are much better, cheaper, and work each time. Check around, you may be able to do better.

No range on the external monitor or defective product

Spent about a week trying to get this to work, during which time the seller's return policy expired. We managed to get an outside reading for about an hour when the indoor unit was just a few feet away from the external unit, but then it lost the signal. We replaced the batteries multiple times and reset the unit and it still did not work. Either it arrived broken, or there is virtually zero range on the external temp unit. In addition, the indoor unit is extremely large. I would not recommend this product.

Works Great on the XBox 360

I purchased this item to connect my XBox 360 to the internet, and I have to say the product works well. Lag is minimal, except when initially connecting to XBox Live.The only real problem I have with the device is the difficulty I had installing it. For whatever reason, the software that it comes bundled with is defective; I attempted to connect to the device with my computer but kept receiving a "Connect failed!" message. I had to download it from the Linksys website after rummaging the internet and finding that this problem is a common occurrence. I was also disappointed to find that it only supports WEP encryption, not WPA; I had to change my WLAN security settings just to be able to use it.All in all, however, it was a short time to set it up and get online. I recommend it, as this device is half the price of the Microsoft wireless ethernet adapter for the 360.

Unusual and unforgettable

Timmy and Pete, best friends and pre-teens, go to Myers pond to fish in the sleepy town of Delaware, Ohio. It starts there. There they meet the turtle boy.This is not a normal paranormal story. It doesn't have the gore and thrills that have become standard fare in this genre, and that's a good thing in my view. This is an eerie book with sneaky undertones that grab and hold you. Don't expect any vampires or blood and guts, but do expect to be surprised and chilled.The writing, the characters and the settings are all beautiful. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the latter third and the ending, which were down a peg from the rest of the book.

good playard for price

we recieved this as a shower gift and we like it very much. we have it set up beside our bed so our daughter can sleep in our room. since our bab is only a month old we are able to use the extra space at her feet to store diapers and wipes for the night so we don't have to make trips to her room to get that stuff. there are a few things that we do not like. the matress, when used as the bassinet, now sinks in the middle so we can't lay her on either side or she will roll to the middle. also, our bed is tall and if you are using it next to your bed it is very uncomfy trying to lift her out in the middle of the night for feedings. other than those two things it is great!

Who ever wrote this book...

Who ever wrote this book must have the dumbest tattoos on their body. Like many others, I was drawn by the cover and interested to see what cool designs lay inside. There was no imagination in any of the drawings, and I guess that's the readers responsibility. But seriously, there are more interesting works on the internet to look at for free. Unlike the rest of everyone else on here, however, I got the book from the library so it cost me nothing. At least I wasn't stupid enough to buy it! Oh!

Not Up To Par

I suppose Doris Day's career was just winding down, the writers were getting tired, or perhaps things were just changing too much in those sometimes radical late 1960s for the comedy formula to continue much longer. Whatever the reason, this film just isn't up to par or expectations for a Doris Day sparkling comedy. There are a few laughs scattered here and there, but the characters are oddly almost cold and hardly sympathetic so it's difficult to care about what happens to them, even Doris's character. The film is OK to own if you're just collecting Doris Day films or sixties comedies, but it really isn't all that entertaining.

AWESOME FREAKING SHIRT!!!

This is one of the best band shirts I've come across. When looking for a new T-Shirt, I knew I had to get this one right away when I came across it. The design is awesome and the colors are cool as well. This T-Shirt will transport you to another time, which is alone worth the price!

Won't hold up if left outside!

I purchased the Duracord model thinking it would hold up well if left outside. While the hammock itself has held up very well, the spreader bars did not. After only 1.5 years, the hammock roping looks just as it did when I bought it. However, BOTH of the spreader bars have essentially disintigrated and split completely in two in multiple locations. This renders the hammock itself useless. Pawleys Island needs to consider a different composition material for the spreader bars which will hold up as well as the roping itself. If you're thinking you're getting a hammock that will hold up well left outside and provide years of service, save your money and buy a cheaper cotton or polyester version.

Good for all ages

Magnificent urban angst

A thoroughly compelling first novel. Well drawn characters and a believable plotline with unexpected bends in the road. Like eavesdropping on the personal conversations of three busted denizens of New York City. Well done. Deserves to be widely read.

Not good unless you have a good knowledge of math

I'm not a math cripple but I will admit that I have not always been that great when it comes to math. I have recently grown a hunger for science in general, ( including mathematics of course) and thought I should look for a book to help me grasp math from another perspective. I actually read many of the pages in the book and while I did understand the first couple pages , I found myself lost as I continue reading. As another reviewer mentioned , this is not a book for the layman. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is not that good at math. I guess I'll just keep looking elsewhere to find books on the subject that will help me on my journey to become better at math.

Siegel "plagiarized" his own book!

Like the 1965 Ford Mustang, Siegel's first novel, Special Circumstances, was a big hit. So, just like Ford, when Siegel decided it was time for the next book, he simply reworked a few lines on the original and passed it off as "New." It isn't -- at all. It's déjà vu. In the many hundreds of books I've had the pleasure of reading, I've never encountered such a transparent rewrite. My mistake, I suppose, was in ordering the two books at the same time and reading them back-to-back. If I'd had a couple of years "between books" like some of the reviewers, perhaps it wouldn't have been so noticeable. Maybe his later books use new plots, secondary characters, courtroom scenes, legal and evidentiary arguments, etc. I for one am unwilling to find out. Suggestion: read just one of his books and you'll love it; if you read two, it'll be like "Groundhog Day."

Lots of good advice but poorly organized

The book is filled with plenty useful advice but it is so poorly organized that its potential effectiveness is marginalized. I had hoped to learn some key strategies and tools to use in a converstation. However, I spent most of my time trying to understand how each little tidbit of advice fit into the bigger picture of actually starting and controlling a conversation. Somewhere amongst all the advise are the key elements to becoming a better communicator but its left to the reader to assemble them into a practical guide to conversation.

Bad Beginning

This book begins a series with its own style, different from the typical childrens book. However, this first one is not wonderful. It was not very funny, the characters were flat, the story just fails to capture the way I expected. It seems like Lemony Snicket used this book to develope this style of writing. His next few books are better, though, and go on improving as you go.

GREAT STORY; LOVED THE MALE LEAD AND THE AWESOME FEMALE LEAD

I COULD APPRECIATE THIS BOOK BECAUSE THE AUTHOR USED A FEMALE LEAD CHARACTER THAT WAS A FULL-FIGURED WOMAN. MS. MANEES SHOWED THAT ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. I LOVED THE TROPICAL SETTING AND THE DIVERSITY OF PERSONALITIES IN THIS BOOK. THE EVIL WITCH CHANTAL WAS A BONUS. READERS ALWAYS LOVE TO HATE SOMEONE.

Awesome hair detangler for long, curly hair!!

I don't normally write reviews, but I HIGHLY recommend this product.I have very dry, long, curly hair which gets knotted & tangled up quite a bit.I primarily use this product as a detangler after showering, and it's truly amazing, I can comb through my hair with relative ease!! It also has a pleasant, light aroma.Thank you for such a great product!

Useful and Insightful

There are a great many screenwriting books out there but I found this one to be the most practical. If you want to get your script read and to move on past the readers at a production company this book gives you the tools to accomplish that. I found much of what is in this book to be invaluable. The writing is funny and the examples he gives only made my writing better. It is a very helpful book and I keep returning to it as I write. I am truly glad I found this book.

Pointless and awful.

The Juror starring Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin looked like such an entertaining thriller but this movie is just so stupid. I couldn't believe how dumb the plot and ending was. And who the hell what's to see Anne Heche naked? not me! One of the worst movies I have ever seen, use this one as a coaster.

This program simply does not work correctly. Program has many bugs and they are not responsive. In fact, their customer service, by email, and by phone is even worse than the usual poor service one gets on tech lines. DO not waste your money.

Doesn't Work On My Dell, Either

What a worthless piece of software. It's easy to use, but to go ahead and actually burn a DVD fails completely on my new Dell Optiplex with a DVD-RW drive. It goes through the process of converting, etc. Suddenly, just as it's finally ready to burn the DVD, I got a "Failed To Send Timestamp" and it dumps the burn. WTF? This error message isn't in the manual. I don't know what the problem is, I use blank DVD media all the time with my DVD copier and other software.Yesterday I broke down and bought Serif MoviePlus X3. Hopefully this'll work better than the 10 year-old VideoWave 5.If you want to make a mini-DVD on a CDR it works fine (the CD will only play on a computer drive). I have yet to try making a VCD.A good editing learning tool but I would not recommend this to anyone because of the incompatibility with my DVD drive.

The chemistry between Ana Carolina and Seu Jorge is just magical. Hope we can experience that here in the States in live someday. Some subtitles are missing on DVD, but you get to taste how fun it must have been to just hang out with those amazingly talented, down to earth, cool musicians at the bar! Enjoy!

He literally keeps you on your toes and when you think you have everything figured out, he flips the world upside down! I love all of his books and I most definitely recommend them! In fact I came onto amazon.com to purchase more copies as Christmas gifts last year and everyone recipient loved the books!

Leaky

Yep, it's a leaker. Listen, I take care of my appliances. You know how some folks just use something and then toss it aside till next time? I rinse out the hose, rinse out the tanks... wipe down the machine... you get the picture.This thing leaks. Not always, but regularly. And then you have that mess to clean up.Poorly designed.Look elsewhere.

So far so good...

I've wanted one of these for a long time. I originally bought a Cold Steel Trench Hawk, which is fully bad@$$. But I found the overall weight, just a bit heavy. I want something I can wield with speed and ease. So the lighter and more highly reviewed F01T Tactical Hawk appealed to me. I think the Tactical Hawk is def. more tactical than the Trench Hawk. But the Trench Hawk is better for chopping and similar tasks, although the Tactical Hawk boasts a 'hammer' pad. When I get a chance to throw the hawk and goof off with it some more, I'll update the review. I've marked only 4 stars because it's still a bit weighty, but that just means I need to bulk up. Also, I've yet to really field test it, but I anticipate it's gonna be awesome. This hawk is for home defense. I live in a rough area in an east coast city that is far worse than NYC and possibly Newark. Definitely glad to have this hawk nearby.

Disappointing

As stated by previous posts, Ms. Kalaria is inconsistant in her explanations and springs some moves not introduced into the routines. It IS more like an aerobics class than a fun dance instruction that gets your body up off the couch and moving. I have previous dance experience and am quick to pick up steps but found her footwork hard to follow as she is wearing flared workout pants that cover her feet so you do not get an actual look at the feet doing the footwork. This is a program that is for the more physically fit, because again, as stated previously, there is a LOT of hopping, jumping, and squatting. If you are carrying excess weight (like me)you should probably start out with something with less impact, like the "Goddess" Workouts or the "Bellydance Fitness for Beginners." I hope Ms. Kalaria tries again. Bhangra is fun and entertaining and I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!

Great Cordless System

Absolutely great. Sounds quality is very good and the voice enhancer feature makes the voice quality exceptional. Lots of nice features such as pushing saved phone numbers to all handsets. I bought this system to replace an older 2 gig system that interfered with my home wireless network, and it works just fine everywhere in the house. No problems with drops outs. Overall, I have no complaints at all. Recommend you spend the extra money for this set, it is worth it!

An excellent insight into the culture of tags and piecing

Crimes of Style is a journey into the burgeoning underground Denver Graffiti scene. Jeff Ferrel's participant observations of local taggers and writers gives a fascinating insight into a sometimes beautiful and sometimes offensive subculture of vandalism....or is it? The question of vandalism or art remains an underlying question throughout Ferrel's book. And the reader must decide for himself where the line between art and crime stands. Jeff Ferrel's work is divine inspiration to the fledgling sociologists like myself.

For the college-level art school library

This very technical guide will reach beyond the arts to any involved in color photography or the science of reproduction: Principles Of Color Reproduction covers the underlying principles of successful color reproduction, masking methods, tone reproduction and influences on color results, with many formulas covering densities, color separation and balance, and calculations for reflection. Very technical and perfect for the college-level art school library.

Don't bother

This reads like a boring college text. Full of "facts" and not much else. Except when Miles tears Zappa apart personally. I've been a Zappa fan for 35 years and had my own vision of what he was like. Unfortunatelly I read this book and won't be able to enjoy Zappa's music or memory as much as I did before. Thanks Miles.

Problems

I agree with Peter Williams. It was great to finally see some episodes of this long-forgotten series come out on DVD. BUT...the quality is apalling!! Discs 2 and 3 are full of pixelation problems...and the episode THE BLOWUP (on disc 2) jams...then jumps 6 minutes ahead. The result...a 48 minute episode plays for about 42 minutes...missing a few vital scenes in the middle of the episode. More care in mastering (or manufacturing) is required from Timeless Media before I'll be buying any more of their DVDs.

Do not buy this movie!!

I bought this movie thinking it was the one that was just released. I paid the same price as if it were the big name movie, which I thought it was. What a disappointment, the camera operator had close ups of the actors lips when they spoke, people were speaking in the film and you could not see them in the movie, and quite frankly it look like middle school children could have done a better job with this film.

A Good Look at the Conclusion of the Adoption Process

This DVD is polished and interesting to watch. It is a great tool for showing people why one might want to adopt from China and what the process looks like when it's all done. (It doesn't represent well the 12 months or more of preparation, paperwork and expense that led up to receiving a little girl.)I could argue pro's and con's with the other reviewers about some of the faults they found in the program--and it certainly isn't a perfect product--but I think the producers did a very good job within the constraints of the medium and time alloted. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in the subject of adoption from China.

Great quality for the price, some learning curve required

This was a great "beginner" espresso machine for my family. It is messy if you don't use it right, so you have to learn, for instance, that it "likes" a fine grind and will leak if you try to pack a courser grind. The steamer nozzle also is set a bit low, so you have to either elevate the unit or use a smaller steamer container than you might otherwise want to use, otherwise you will be tilting the container a lot and making a mess. It does not have a separate steam chamber, so you do have to wait for it heat from "brew" to "steam" levels, but it doesn't take long. But once you figure out the idiosyncracies, it works like a charm.

It just sounds like outtakes compared to their classic first two albums. Uncritical fans are raving [as they would rave about anything], but none of this is top of the line material. I'm sorry I yielded to curiosity and hype.

this was one sick movie. if all you need from a horror movie is blood and gore then this movie is for you. the acting from the family members in the movie wasnt too bad but as far as anything else in the movie it was just ridiculous. i like pshycological thrillers but this definitely was not one of those. i wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone

Willis Harman's finest book

Willis Harman's "An Incomplete Guide to the Future" started me on future studies, and his writings have helped focus my studies since. "Global Mind Change" is a powerful statement, digging deep into our language and assumptions as he explores the history and current thought in humanity's attempts to define reality through science. A must read for the new century, and an excellent text for interdisciplinary social and scientific studies.

I have had my Nikon D100 for many years with a wide angle and a telephoto lens. I was looking to sell it or replace it, I just didn't like it much. NOW, this lens has made me fall in love again with my camera. It is fantastic and takes beautiful pictures. I love this lens!
