0	nice light, but doesn't last long	I bought this about a year ago, and the light doesn't turn on anymore. The bulb is out, but it is hard to replace it- you would have to open up the whole mirror to be able to do that. Before I bought it, I saw the review here of a man who bought it for his wife and he said to just hold the "on" button and it would turn on. I think the model he bought his wife was another one because mine had an on and off switch, so obviously I couldn't hold it down to try that suggestion. While it was working, the mirror was pretty good, but the only setting I used was the "daylight" setting. The others were settings that I didn't need, like one that gave a green tint. The way it is leaning is pretty flimsy. I would accidentally hit it and it would slam down. It was decent while it lasted, but one year was not long.	negative
0	DON'T BUY FROGGER!	This game [is terrible]! At first it seemed like it was going to be a good game dodging alligators and hopping on lillipads...But it only has 5 levels and there all almost exactly the same. And the graphics are bad plus it's[too much] for five minutes of good gameplay.	negative
0	horible	this is a prime canidate for the worst album of the year. and 'my band' has already won worst song of the year. and some horrible production. what were these band of idiots thinking	negative
0	Old Retreads Of Early Chicago	One of the reviews above states an outright lie! This album has NOT seen "astronomical sales". Unless "astronomical" is defined by 500 copies sold. It is also not a "masterpiece". Overzealous reviews like these fanatics are misleading to level-headed fans who might get fooled into buying products like this. This CD is nothing more than mellow dinner muzak, full of major7th chords straight from the Lamm Lounge. It's not new, it has no musical or lyrical edge and relies on the tried and true Chicago formula from 1969. Hardly innovative or fresh. There are some sweet moments here and there in the songs Gimme Gimme, Intensity and Everyday It's Always Something. They stand out against a deluge of normalcy and safeness. Save your hard-earned $$$ for buying something better here at amazon.com such as the new live CD by The Dave Weckl Band.	negative
1	Canon PowerShot SD800 is compact and takes great pix.	I am a Nikon Camera lover, and yet I have enjoyed this small Canon Digital as it fits in your pocket, while you are on the go. I have gotten some real nice shots, although I have not had the time to play with all the features. The Wide-Angle Image is what I like with this iPod-Size camera. It is a good buy for the money.	positive
0	Insanely Loud	The only good things that I can say about this pump is that it looks nice and it's small in size. However, it sounds like a truck. It is so loud that while on the first floor of the house, you can still hear it on the second floor with the door closed. Compared to my boyfriends Tetra Whisper 100, this pump is very distracting and atleast 10 times louder.	negative
0	Let's make it a late night, a Wendy's late night!	I hate this band, it reminds me of that irritating Wendy's commercial. I love Wendy's, but I hate that commercial! Pop punk is way too happy and bouncy, I like my music to be dark and rainy. If you like sunny days, buy this, but I'll take a rainy day any day!	negative
0	RANGE KLEEN DRIP PANS AND TRIM RINGS	The fit and overall quality is O.K. unfortunately myD-901 "8 piece set" is in reality a "6 piece set".Both of the small drip pans are missing.I think the problem is that the box these things are sold inhas a viewing hole in the front that's just big enough that thesmall pieces can weasel their way out while being thrown aroundin their travels. They need better packaging.Sigh. It's not worth the trouble to return them.However, I am not amused.	negative
1	My love for Berserk is Like a TRUCK	THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST ANIME BOX SET SINCE COWBOY BEBOP! I NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING THE WHOLE THING IN A SINGLE NIGHT. IF YOU LIKE ACTION/DISMEMBERMENT/LOVE/BETRAYAL/AWSOMENESS BUY THIS BOX SET!!!!	positive
0	EA Active Sports gave me TENDONITIS	I've been using this game for over two months now... as a workout, it is very effective: I actually felt motivated to exercise and would produce a sweat almost every time.Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with tendonitis this week, resulting from the repetitive strain on my wrists from pulling the orange weight band. Tendonitis is commonly developed after the start of a new workout program, since it puts a new, constant, and repetitive strain on your wrists. And boy does it hurt, all day, every day.So a warning: you'll get a good workout, but be very careful of your wrists! If you also play other games like MartKart that involve repetitive finger motions, EA Sports might well be the death knell for your hands.	negative
0	First Cleanse Sucks!	Must use this product on an empty stomach!Not very effective, use other cleansers if you are serious regarding cleansing your body!	negative
1	Comfortable, good buy	Like others have commented - my Cat boots are 1/2 size smaller than what I usually wear - meaning I bought an 11 1/2 and usually wear a 12. Good thing I tried a pair on in a store first, or I'd have been swimming in 12s. They were, as expected with new boots, pretty darn stiff the first week of wearing them. I thought they broke in surprisingly fast, only 2 or 3 days of chafing at the ankle tops, and now they bend well. I did not do any of my usual crazy boot-break-in tricks, just wore them to work. Big thumbs-up from me.	positive
1	You get what you pay for	For those who says it doesn't fit on canon, they're wrong. It fits right onto the lens!Is it the best quality ever? well, no. But for 20 bucks it does what it's supposed to with no real issues. The focus isn't the absolute sharpest, but again. 20 dollars.I'm an amateur photographer and wanted a fisheye to play around with, but there's only so much you can do with a fisheye, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I got exactly that with this. A great buy over all :)	positive
0	Do Not Recommend / Sends Poor Quality like item	This Vender (Workshop Tools) sent wrong item, Sent a lesser like item that cost $7.97 and charged me $19.99, How do I know, Vender did not bother removing sale tag marked $7.97, To add insult to in injury, Item was shipped in a damaged box, US Post office had marked box Damaged when received. Buyer Beware. I got ripped off.	negative
0	Honestly, it's Horrible	I like Eliza Dushku. I loved her as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, and I liked her as Echo/Caroline in Dollhouse. (I haven't seen Tru Calling yet.)This, however, sucked. I saw it on Syfy, so it was edited, but still. Absolutely Horrible.The plot was consistent, yet the acting was below sub-par, and the storyline was bleak and tried.Not recommended.	negative
0	Disappointed	I can't really give this product much a rating, because I was unable to use it. We ordered it in order to use our Sega Genesis, but it does not fit. I don't know if it is an updated version, or if it is just not what it was marketed as, but it was unusable, which was very disappointing.	negative
1	great style	love the style of the phone. not sure the mechanism is that high-quality, but we live in a town with sketchy phone service so wouldn't want to unfairly paint the phone as low-quality when it could be our lines. specifically, it seems like there is a delay when you're dialing. and i often feel like it might drop the call at any second. but everyone in our town complains of bad phone service.So tired of poor-quality, cordless phones. we love the old-style, land-line, corded phone in our kitchen.	positive
1	More Information to Managing a Healthy Heart	I knew it was important—what I didn't realize was how important it is. Kudos to Dr. Sinatra for his engaging research and explanations on how to use this information about one important step in keeping your heart system healthy.	positive
0	Badly acted... and grossly innacurate	This is a terrible movie with little connection with history. The only thing accurate is that Commodore Perry came to Japan in 1853/4, The rest is pure, unbelievable fiction.I have always been a Toshira Mifune fan and he does the best with this aweful script. Richard Boone is in his "worst" role. He mugs and stamps all over the set... and that is about it. A young James Earl Jones has a small part which is equally unenspiring.Stay away.	negative
0	So disappointing	I have loved all the author's other books and looked forward to reading this one; but what a disapointment. After reading these other reviews, I find I'm not alone. I'll look forward to his next release and hope he gets back on track.	negative
1	Useful	This pouch is good. You can attach it to your tool belt and put your tools in it. This is pretty durable and can withstand against a lot of abuse.	positive
0	Disappointing	I have always heard such great things about Feynman and his writting and so I thought I would read this book. What a disappointment! Being the transcript of a series of lectures, it is difficult to follow as he rambles from one topic to another. There doesn't seem to be any coherent focus. He also seems to state things that are fairly obvious or superficial as though they are the great secrets of the universe. I have not given up on Feynman books, but this one was just not worth it.	negative
1	I have listened to this album non-stop since purchasing	Between the Dim and the Dark is an amazing album. period. Jay Clifford's exceptional vocal and heartfelt songwriting talent go to prove there is still hard work put into to an industry ruled by "Clay Aikin's" and "Kelly Clarkson's." Not many Cd's get a place in my collection of thousands where it is spun so often, "Dim and the Dark" may just earn a permanent spot in my 3 disc changer. Key tracks: "Mexico" "Rains in Asia" "Requium" "Hold you Down" and "Midnight." That ends up to be HALF of this fantastic album. Purchasing this album will not disappoint you in the least.For Fans of: Howie Day, Matt Nathanson, Gavin DeGraw, Rosebud, Candy Butchers, Pat McGee Band, Coldplay, Guster, and for fans of independent music everywhere.	positive
1	Excellent product!	This product exceeded my expectations! Great material, taller, and easy to assemble. Recommend it for a great price to anyone wanting a pole pad,	positive
1	Very Good	A page-turner that invokes history, which I love, like Craig Furrnas' novel THE SHAPE, and such books, so if you're inclined toward thrillers with some "throw back" plotting, you'll love THE DA VINCI CODE.	positive
0	sigh	I am so disappointed. Not only were the characters dull, but it left me absoloutely cold. I have laughed, cried and lived in Jude's world for a very long time. I live in Scandinavie, so getting my hands on her books is very difficult for me. This time I have to say', it wasn't worth it. And to make it even worse, there was a flaw in the printing of it, so I there were 50. pages missing and 50 pages written again. All in all. The biggest disappointment yet.	negative
1	One of the Best Movies EVER!!!!!!!	I don't have time today to write a big long review and tell you how much I love this movie. All I am going to say are these two things: If you have not seen this movie, rent it or buy it NOW! And also: WHY IS THERE NOT A DVD?!?!?!?! It's going to drive me crazy!!!!!!	positive
1	Great film and performance by Ossie Davis in his last role	Great story and storytelling about the African American service men in WWII. Finally someone has decided to show the true things they had to overcome and resistance along the way. Great movie, especially for teachers in the classroom.	positive
1	Warriors #3	I've read all of the Warriors series, and they are all the best books ever! This one is one of my favorites, since it has so many surprises, and, like lots of reviews say, its really descriptive. I agree, its one of the saddest books, with the death and all, but it's really, really, good, too!In this installemnt, Fireheart struggles to get Graystripe to stop seeing Silverstream, and their relationship does end, but in a different way than you might think. There are floods, and RIverClan is chased out of their camp, so Fireheart and Graystripe try to help them. Plus Tigerclaw makes an attempt to kill FIreheart.This series is the best one that I've ever read, and to all that haven't already: Read them!	positive
0	For FRUSTRATION only	The very worst available. I spent half of our summer vacation trying to find discs that my pretentious Canon would accept. Only Sony, and only sometimes. Ugh. I used to trust Canon. Now, I will read and write reviews more often.	negative
1	Works Great	This is a great router easy to set up and super fast. Has many great features too such as the wifi guest connection and the usb port. Be sure to update the firmware before setting it up or you will have to set it up again. Plug it in follow the on screen promts and your ready.. :)	positive
1	Really great useful Cricut tools kit!	I was happy to have a kit rather then individual products. It's a very nice introduction into the Cricut world. I really liked the paper designs. Only peeve was not being able to choose mat size. I don't have the small Cricut. So the mat is off to someone who does. However the price I paid was so much less then if I were to purchase all products separately.	positive
1	Interesting history documentary	Very enjoyable, but then, I love history. Especially Cvil War history, and anything Lincoln. Good narrating. Made you feel like you were there	positive
0	Not for Collectors	I was really disappointed in the poor quality of these bowls. They're obviously knockoffs and the art work is not even close to the original Franciscanware. While these bowls may be practical and useful for everyday use, if you're a collector of this dinnerware, do not buy these to replace broken pieces. I'm really glad that I didn't buy other pieces that I am looking for.	negative
1	You can't put it down,action packed,wonderful,the best book	An excellent book through and through. I had never read a Christian Science Fiction before. I was so pleasantly suprised at the depth and intuitiveness of this book. He keeps you glued to each page and you honestly can't put it down. God has blessed Peretti with such a gift. It talks about Spiritual Warefare on our everyday lives. I believe that this is how it truely happens. I have read everything that Peretti has written to date and if you read this book you will be hooked as well. I can't say enough about his talent. All I know is that most books I get bored with. Not with any of his. You must try it!	positive
0	nude girls exposed	all they did is talk probably won't rent another one of these. really didn't watch whole thing just skipped through it	negative
0	Watch out!	I bought this December 2008 and was really happy with it for a few weeks. It seems that the plastic rings that hold the spout in place and also keeps the oil from passing between the spout and glass decided not to be flexible any longer. So without the rings trying to push against the glass for a snug fit, they now face upward and offer not to keep the spout in place any longer.I have no problem with this because I can just hold the spout in place with an index finger while its turned upside down. Before discovering this was needed, ouch.. A puddle of oil in the plate.Anyway, I am on the hunt for another drizzler although I may modify the nozzle to fit snugly to avoid accidents from guests.	negative
0	why all this hype for a so common album?	I bought this album and I didn't like it at all. It often sounds like the crummy old New Wave of 80's (Cure, Joy Division, This Mortal Coil) Yuk! Where is the Hip Hop spirit ??? Psyence Fiction is the kind of CD we end to buy because of all the hype, buzz, commercials that are all around it, and that everyone won't care/remember in 3 months. The first CD of Massive Attack or Portishead were more interesting. This album brings absolutely nothing new or original in the trip/hip hop style , whatever you want to call this style of music. It was the idea to James Lavelle to make a "revolutionary" album, a kinda milestone, but he has failed.	negative
0	A total waste of time and money	While I have regretted buying some books in the past, I never have felt so shamelssly ripped off by a writer. This pap wouldn't make it in a Sunday supplement. Clearly written to cash in on the popularity of the kokopelli arquetype, this book offers absolutely NOTHING in the way of new knowledge or useful information.	negative
1	a physically draining experience	this book affected me more emotionally than virtually anything else I've ever read. i found myself alternately crying and wanting to kill someone and wanting to throw the book away, but simultaneously, I couldn't put it down. sapphire does an amazing job of bringing the reader into precious's life and paints an absolutely horrifying picture of adolescence. I feel like this should be required reading for any course of study, especially those in the education and/or social work fields. I was physically drained for an entire day after I finished the novel. an absolutely harrowingly beautiful experience.	positive
1	A great beginners kit!	A good price and good shipping time. An easy. simple and basic kit to learn the techniques of spool knitting jewelry,, It gives you the basic tools to make jewelry and use those tools and lessons to advance to bigger and more elaborate projects. I liked it very much and would buy other kits in the same line...Kids or adults can use it!!	positive
0	It was not what i expected!!!	THE BOOK "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE" WRITTEN BY JENNY K. WAS AS MANY PEOPLE WROTE IN THEIR REVIEWS, "AN INSULT TO HUMAN INTELLIGENCE,"BUT THE ONE WRITTEN BY NICHOLAS SPARKS HAPPENS TO HAVE A DIFFERENT TOUCH TO IT, MAKING READERS ALL OVER THE WORLD SAVOR THE STORY. I HAVE READ "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE" BY SPARKS ABOUT 6 TIMES BECAUSE I LOVED IT THE FIRST TIME AND HAD ME CRAVING FOR IT 5 MORE TIMES. BUT LETS BE NICE AND AT LEAST GIVE JENNY K THE CREDIT FOR WRITING IT...	negative
0	Tetsujin 28 - The Movie	Called a Live Action Movie, this is indeed a movie, it is live, but it is void of any action. Take two action figures make them face each other with fist draw. Hold them at the waist and swing at each other this is exactly the type of action you will see in this movie. I love Gigantor (Tetsujin 28) but I need to save anyone else from blowing any type of money and more importantly time watching this movie.	negative
1	Very nice bag!	It's waterproof, windproof, has a lot of space and very well made.If you have pro equipment and need to bring just some of it, this is the bag for you!	positive
0	Stupid.	Really wished I spent my money on another movie. Bad acting. Bad plot. One of those movies where you wished you had bought a good book for your Kindle.	negative
0	Peeling on day one?	I am not sure what happened to this visor. I purchased it and had it sent to my sister in law. she in turn handed it to the friend I was getting it for. I just found out the vinyl interior of this visor has peeled off! Who is to blame? The seller? The manufacturer? My sister in law? She assures me that when she got the product, it was well wrapped and did not seem to be damaged. So Reebok, what is this about?	negative
1	cheap drawer	The case is nicely completed, but the drawer has no guides and cheapens the case. The compartments are too small for my bigger (42mm+) watches! Also it has no lock which is not a problem for me...another key I don't have to keep up with and allows for quick swaping of the watch I want to wear each morning!Still for the discounted price it is well worth the money!! I would NEVER pay retail for this product...	positive
1	A many years street biker appreciation	After some 40 years of street motorcycling I found Keith's approach through survival reactions (SRs) objectively teaching and Doug Chandler's comments very true. I'm again learning to bike ride. To the author, I may simply say: thanks for the renewed fun I'm experiencing!	positive
0	FAULTY CD	Best Of Bill Medley, TheI have now purchased two of these CD's, "The Best of Bill Medley" from Amazon.com. The first CD was faulty the first time I tried to listen to it. It played the first two songs, and would play no others. Since CD's can only be returned if unopened, I had no options. So, I ordered the CD a second time. This one, too, is faulty the first time I tried to listen to it. This one played the first four songs and would play no others. I'm very disappointed.	negative
0	Expensive Not Worth It	Candy came as though someone just grabbed a handful of bars and shipped them out in a carboard box. I thought British candy would taste better but this Kit Kat taste as though it has less sweetness than the American version. I would save my money and buy local instead.	negative
1	Paula does it again...	This publication is by far my favorite in the Paula Deen series. She has included some of her self proclaimed favorites and from what I see my family is going to love them as well. I think this a definite triumph for the "Lady".	positive
0	Predictable pap.	This is useful only for the functionally illiterate, for those who have no knowledge whatever of the use of money, of investing. For others it is a total waste of money.	negative
0	NOT IN ENGLISH	There are many warnings stating you need a certain type of dvd player but none saying its in DEUTSCH! If you get the dvd make certain its the English copy if they have one!	negative
1	The best little cordless power tool!	Everyone at work has an impact driver, diverse in brands, I chose the Bosch 10.8 impactor, because I already have the 10.8 adjustable driver(not the pocket driver that looks similar to the impactor). It uses the same battery, and it's small. I have shoulder and elbow issues, so when I need to do anything overhead, it's a bonus, because it's light and I can use my long extension bits to also help with hard to get to places. Like any battery though, they like to be warm, so if it is cold at night and I leave them in my vehicle, they don't like to get used. So I just let them warm up and they are just like when I started with them freshly charged. I highly recommend it, especially for the odd jobs and I wouldn't use it to put down a big deck, save that for the regular drivers.	positive
1	Olive the Other Reindeer	This enjoyable holiday hit can be watched all year long, at least with my kids. Original and witty tunes make this DVD highly entertaining. Olive and sidekick Martini are adorable and funny.	positive
0	Waste of time & $3.99!!!	Please don't waste your time or money on this movie, I lost almost 2 hours of my life on this horrible movie. I had high hopes, not one laugh as I watched this train reck!!! Please spare yourself the pain!!!!!	negative
0	Just read the book and rent Blade	Maybe I'm biased because I really enjoyed the book, but this movie is awful. The pacing was terrible, the characters were flat and the story lost quite a lot in the translation.Also, not really related to the movie but, come on Amazon no HD for the PC? Seriously? I know it's either some stupid licensing issue or more likely a ploy to get us to use Kindles, but I for one buy a ton of stuff from Amazon (book, movies, socks, everything) and I don't own a Kindle, nor do I have any plans to own one. So stop shoving it down my throat.	negative
0	Reconsider...	I bought this one after my HP48 Graphing calculator got stolen. HP must have changed how their RPN works because I've made a number of calculation mistakes (getting different answers a number times in a row) using this calculator. I also hate that it has no "undo" function. That really kills. I really miss my HP48 and now seriously considering buying a used one.	negative
0	Needs some more work	This is the second one of these that I ordered. The first one the holder worked great, but the battery tester would test brand new batteries (right out of the package) at the "low" reading - no higher and no lower. So I returned that one. The second one I received - this order - the battery tester needle seemed to get stuck so I would test the brand new battery and then it wouldn't go above the low end of "good" then I would take the battery off of the tester and the needle would stay where it was and then in a couple of seconds it would go back to it's non-testing location. I think it was "dragging" on the part of the tester that showed the scale for replace, low and good. Would not recommend this tester as it seems very cheaply made.	negative
0	I made myself watch it and cringed the entire time...	Sutherland really should have opted out and done herself -- and this production -- a favor. I simply couldn't get into it (and this is my favorite opera!) because she was just too huge and horsey. The dashing Danillo seemed almost frail in her presence.Do yourself a favor: skip this one.	negative
0	Where are the answers?	Bought this publication to enhance my sons lessons and even though the table of contents states there are answers, the fact is there are none!How are we supposed to know the solutions are correct.	negative
1	Release the "prisoners"!	Are they holding this series hostage? This was the best program ever produced. I want the entire set. I had most of the programs on video tape but thru the years, they deteriorated. How great to have this on DVD--now!	positive
1	Outstanding read and reference book	My company and colleagues love this book and utilize the concepts and recommendations in our own accounts and have seen amazing results. Even in my previous position I was fortunate to have been a part of a team that followed this book's initiatives and suggestions almost to the letter and experienced greater patient satisfaction scores (90%+); employee turnover dropped to 7% from almost 21%; innovative concepts were developed and implemented as a result of new empowerment...and more!	positive
0	I couldn't pick it up	You know how when you love a book you say you can't put it down? Well, I just could not get into this book. I have tried a few times to read it and seldom get through the first chapter. It just did not connect with me.	negative
0	Good Concept - Too Bad They Leak	This is a nice, sturdy glass bottle, with a spring clasp and a wire hanger. The problem is, the tube has a ball bearing type stopper that leaks when you invert the bottle into the cage drinking position. Apparently, there is a manufacturing defect. Perhaps the tube is at the wrong angle to allow the stopper to prevent leaking. When in the fully upright position, the entire contents will eventually leak out, a drop at a time. That is not acceptable. I bought two and both had the same problem, so I returned them. It is a very nice design; it is a shame this problem exists.	negative
1	probably the greatest rock album ive ever heard	This is one of the greatest albums of all time. Not many bands make records like this anymore. Its trully a work of art, and id recomend you give it a listen. The album really is a masterpiece in its entirity, it flows together very well start to finish. This is not onw of those albums with just a couple good tracks, it really deserves an uninterupted listen. (listen for the first time with headphones!)	positive
0	They're commercial rappers and it's all !	They want to make an image of them what is not real.They want to be gangstas but their album is a commercial album not an underground real gangsta album.Their music is not really bad but they're like Biggie in this: they want we think what they're not (never or not now)...They were this but now they are not gangstas they're POP stars!!	negative
1	This book gets five stars from my five-year-old!	A mother wants to go to the beach, and like any good planner, wants to bring a few things: a turtle, an umbrella, a book, a ball, and of course, her baby. But every time she tries to get there, the mode of transportation makes it so she has to leave something behind...which she is not willing to do. What is missing in each picture? Little ones will enjoy guessing, and they will also enjoy finding the teeny ladybug in each picture. I liked the Mama's aplomb as she searches for the perfect solution to her problems (look at the picture where she wears the turtle like a bicycle helmet!). My little guy wants this book read over and over, and with this charming interactive adventure, it's my pleasure!	positive
0	Do Not Waste Your Money!	In this narrative, Margaret Harrell claims to be enlightening the powers-that-be of the poverty, loneliness and lack of education that some junior enlisted wives encounter.Please. The aforementioned stereotypes about junior enlisted wives are old,old news. Even an officer's daughter/wife should have figured this out before performing extensive research(which,I'm sure, was done solely at the local trailer park) for a book that is a very sad stereotype of a very diverse group of people.Junior Enlisted wives come in all colors,shapes,sizes and ages. Many are educated, worldly,confident and motivated to succeed as wives,mothers and businesswomen. Individuals of this caliber are out there-unfortunately, the author of this rubbish chose to ignore this fact.Those of you who would like to gain knowledge of what a real junior enlisted wife is like should consider volunteering at the local USO as opposed to wasting an afternoon reading this book.	negative
1	YOU ARE WARNED! 4 stars with a caveat...	This is an unusual review because I cannot say that I have seen this movie. Well, not in its entirety. It is an incredible movie so tightly acted, moving, and compelling that you are completely drawn into it. But if you are like me, what in this "politically correct" millineum is accused of being a homophobe, appx. two-thirds the way into this movie you will careen out of your home theatre with nausea hoping Pepto will save you. That is all I can tell you except at least you were warned unlike I was.P.S. My friends still laugh at my reaction!P.S.S. No, I don't care how great this movie is I'm never going to return to finish it. Even the trailer could send me to the porcelain god!	positive
0	Deja Vu All Over Again	Symptomatic is a new novel about being biracial in America. It is the second novel on that same theme by author Danzy Senna. That previous work, Caucasia was heavily praised by critics. Unfortunately, Symptomatic does not break new ground in the biracial theme. If anything, it reads like a rewrite of Caucasia.As such, Symptomatic is a frustrating book for those who believed that Senna would be a major new voice on America's literary landscape.	negative
0	Here's where I . . .	. . . stopped. Asimov proceeds from an excellent 1950s trilogy into the 1980s world of contract authorship and has to produce 350,000 words in a story that needed only 1/3 as many. Additionally, he becomes an unabashed purveyor for the Gaia (Mother Earth) myth, selling his soul and his intellect. Who knows, maybe his 1948 short story "Mother Earth" was a portent. Disappointed.	negative
1	Professional Service	Received the product very quickly. It was well packed. Will be using seller again. We have two of these printers and use a lot of toner. The generic toner cartridges just do not wor well in this printer.	positive
1	Tongue Twisting entertainment for your tots.	This book and the others in the Skippyjohn Jones series are very well received by both my five year old daughter and my nine year old son. They love the cadence of the stories it reminds you of Dr. Seuss' only in a mix of Spanish and English. What a wonderful imagination on this cute little Chihuahua. Oops!I mean kitten.	positive
1	Cut out the inane cartoons.	I agree with another reviewer that the cartoons are painful. My 7 and 9 year olds did not enjoy them very much either. I'm not against cartoons to illustrate points or keep kids interest, but they are particularly annoying. And your listening to someone who loves SpongeBob here. My other criticism is that this DVD, like so many other DVDs and books, demonstrates more drills than skills. However, it does introduce enough information to be useful for my 7 and 9 year olds, and overall I would recommend it for lack of anything better to recommend.	positive
1	Lovely, Lovely	Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen book at this time in my life and this movie represents it beautifully. They met. They fell in love. She broke it off. She regrets it. He comes back. Can they have a second chance? What more can you ask for? This is a British period piece, so the accents can be strong at times...be prepared. Also, it is not exactly like the book, a good reproduction, but not the same page for page. That shouldn't turn you off of the movie though. Nothing is ever as good as the original, but this movie does a decent job trying. Finally, don't expect twenty-somethings acting in this movie. If you want a younger cast, find the PBS/BBC version of Persausion. This movie is acted in by seasoned actors who also played the roles on stage. They know their characters and are very good at bringing them to life.	positive
0	CAUTION-FIRE HAZARD	Who knew these could cause a fire? I sure didn't.The funny thing is we are still without power after Sandy and the thing that woke my husband up was wondering why we had "lights" in the kitchen.The Rat Zapper had a meltdown and started a fire.We did have an older model purchased in 2010, but reviews are no longer accepted for that particular purchase.	negative
0	Not the best album of the 60s by a long shot.	Sure, this recording sounds about as good as you will ever hear it, but the music on it is certainly an acquired taste. If I remember correctly, I bought this album when it first came out, listened to it once then gave it away. I was curious to learn if my musical tastes had become more tolerant over the past 45 years but they, apparently, haven't.	negative
1	Business trivia	The authors deliver as promised through a blitzkrieg tour of '100 Great Businesses'. At times the information is scarce and superficial, but if you're looking for business trivia, or a quick glimpse for areas worth further research, this is a great book for the task.	positive

Not to mention we call them "generous" They click over steps even if you laugh hard.	negative
1	If you want to learn SQL--buy this book!	Unquestionably one of my best purchases. This book is terrific! If you're learning SQL for the first time or want to know more than "SELECT. . .FROM. . .WHERE" then buy this book! It allows you to really understand how to create all kinds of queries, rather than just being able to write command strings. The authors break complex concepts down into easy to understand lessons. The content is comprehensive and sophisticated but presented in a very intuitive way. Learning SQL has never been easier. The only drawback--and it's not the authors' fault--since, unfortunately, different database programs use different SQL syntax, you will have to refer to the manual for your specific program for some command strings. But you will learn so much from this book that your manual will actually make sense. This book is a must-have!	positive

1	Good Value	I've used this unit for geocaching and it takes me right to the cache. After rebate the unit will end up costing $129, so for the price it is a good value. Do not load all the software if you don't need it. I only entered a few of the maps of places I go or plan to go, not all of them, so this cut down considerably on map loading time. The first time I loaded all the maps onto my computer, it took about 30 minutes. Loading straight from the geocaching site is very easy, and the unit holds the cache description as well. I find the screen visually appealing. I'm very pleased and prefer it over my Garmin E-trex Legend.	positive
1	Fantastique!	There have been many comparisons between this book and the work of Patricia Cornwell. There are similarities, but Tempe Brennan has much more heart and most importantly humor than Kay Scarpetta has ever had. I say there's more than enough room for female authors writing strong, intelligent and emotionally complex female characters. The French touches were wonderful. I never realized how much French I remembered from high school and college. I pray that the world will hear more from Kathy Reichs!	positive
1	Nice Looking Set	I bought a 7 piece set (just like this 4 piece one). Still haven't figured out what to do with the three smaller canisters, so maybe the four piece set would have been fine.The size is adequate for keeping flour, sugar, rice and tea (or similar items). The clasps aren't as straight as I'd like but do lock OK.They look good on the counter and I've had no trouble with weevils or anything, so it has a tight seal. An earlier set that I had (another company) ended up with dried out, brittle seals. Oggi says they will replace the seal if this happens with these.	positive

0	Bad II Worse	The members of Boyz II Men may seem like gentlemen and all, but they have released some of the dullest singles of the 1990s. Safe, professional-sounding Black pop for the masses. Sure, they can sing, but so what? The music is a snooze. This collection gets the big one star mainly for "One Sweet Day," one of the very worst songs ever recorded. Not even legendary producers Babyface and Jam & Lewis can conceal the Boyz's blandness. "I'll Make Love to You" and "On Bended Knee" are as predictable as Christmas Day. Only on the single "Song for Mama," do we get signs of life. While I can't call Boyz II Men the worst r&b group ever, this hits collection is nothing more than an example of soul music without the soul.	negative
0	A Disapointment	I rented this movie. I'm Jewish and thought it might be fun to watch, since it was billed as a dark comedy.There were a few spots, like the Bar Mitzvah, that had some familiar Jewish tradition. But the rest --Not funny, not profound. No likeable characters. Slow paced and boring. The ending left you hanging, but by then I didn't care anyway.The best part of watching this movie was that I was hemming a pair of pants while I was watching it. Got the pants done, since the movie wasn't very distracting.	negative
1	My first Barbara Freethy book	I bought this for a whole .99 cents , i read the reviews, downloaded it onto my kindle. After reading several of Scott Nicholson short stories i figured i needed something a little milder & softer. This was perfect, a touch of romance with family lies, and a Chinese twist. Thoroughly enjoyed this book, as mentioned in my title this was my first Barbara Freethy book, now that i have gotten a taste of her great writing, i will be reading another one her books as soon as i can.	positive

1	Pragmatic	The author has a clear approach on some key areas of marketing and sales processes. Very pragmatic questions and key points that certainly provide some meaningful insights for creating your own GTM strategy.The only point I think could have deeper content is about implmentation of GTM plans. There are just a few pages addressing this topic which certainly is the most challangeble part of the whole process.Nice book for having on your office desk.	positive
1	Meat 'n' Potatoes with Tommy Guns	This is a great slice of Americana, a true "Period Piece." Sinatra was a competent actor and probably could have paid the bills this way even if he hadn't been a remarkably talented singer. It's not everybody who can pull off a menacing tough-guy when he weighs 118 soaking wet. This film presents itself in stark tones both visually and thematically. Patriotism, courage, honor, sacrifice. The words necessary to make that into a sentence would only sully the higher meaning; and that's the feeling you get as you watch this film. It is sparse, but self-assured. Think of it as the lost episode of "The Andy Griffith Show."	positive

nice light, but doesn't last long

I bought this about a year ago, and the light doesn't turn on anymore. The bulb is out, but it is hard to replace it- you would have to open up the whole mirror to be able to do that. Before I bought it, I saw the review here of a man who bought it for his wife and he said to just hold the "on" button and it would turn on. I think the model he bought his wife was another one because mine had an on and off switch, so obviously I couldn't hold it down to try that suggestion. While it was working, the mirror was pretty good, but the only setting I used was the "daylight" setting. The others were settings that I didn't need, like one that gave a green tint. The way it is leaning is pretty flimsy. I would accidentally hit it and it would slam down. It was decent while it lasted, but one year was not long.

Old Retreads Of Early Chicago

One of the reviews above states an outright lie! This album has NOT seen "astronomical sales". Unless "astronomical" is defined by 500 copies sold. It is also not a "masterpiece". Overzealous reviews like these fanatics are misleading to level-headed fans who might get fooled into buying products like this. This CD is nothing more than mellow dinner muzak, full of major7th chords straight from the Lamm Lounge. It's not new, it has no musical or lyrical edge and relies on the tried and true Chicago formula from 1969. Hardly innovative or fresh. There are some sweet moments here and there in the songs Gimme Gimme, Intensity and Everyday It's Always Something. They stand out against a deluge of normalcy and safeness. Save your hard-earned $$$ for buying something better here at amazon.com such as the new live CD by The Dave Weckl Band.

Insanely Loud

The only good things that I can say about this pump is that it looks nice and it's small in size. However, it sounds like a truck. It is so loud that while on the first floor of the house, you can still hear it on the second floor with the door closed. Compared to my boyfriends Tetra Whisper 100, this pump is very distracting and atleast 10 times louder.

EA Active Sports gave me TENDONITIS

I've been using this game for over two months now... as a workout, it is very effective: I actually felt motivated to exercise and would produce a sweat almost every time.Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with tendonitis this week, resulting from the repetitive strain on my wrists from pulling the orange weight band. Tendonitis is commonly developed after the start of a new workout program, since it puts a new, constant, and repetitive strain on your wrists. And boy does it hurt, all day, every day.So a warning: you'll get a good workout, but be very careful of your wrists! If you also play other games like MartKart that involve repetitive finger motions, EA Sports might well be the death knell for your hands.

Comfortable, good buy

Like others have commented - my Cat boots are 1/2 size smaller than what I usually wear - meaning I bought an 11 1/2 and usually wear a 12. Good thing I tried a pair on in a store first, or I'd have been swimming in 12s. They were, as expected with new boots, pretty darn stiff the first week of wearing them. I thought they broke in surprisingly fast, only 2 or 3 days of chafing at the ankle tops, and now they bend well. I did not do any of my usual crazy boot-break-in tricks, just wore them to work. Big thumbs-up from me.

You get what you pay for

For those who says it doesn't fit on canon, they're wrong. It fits right onto the lens!Is it the best quality ever? well, no. But for 20 bucks it does what it's supposed to with no real issues. The focus isn't the absolute sharpest, but again. 20 dollars.I'm an amateur photographer and wanted a fisheye to play around with, but there's only so much you can do with a fisheye, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I got exactly that with this. A great buy over all :)

I like Eliza Dushku. I loved her as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, and I liked her as Echo/Caroline in Dollhouse. (I haven't seen Tru Calling yet.)This, however, sucked. I saw it on Syfy, so it was edited, but still. Absolutely Horrible.The plot was consistent, yet the acting was below sub-par, and the storyline was bleak and tried.Not recommended.

I can't really give this product much a rating, because I was unable to use it. We ordered it in order to use our Sega Genesis, but it does not fit. I don't know if it is an updated version, or if it is just not what it was marketed as, but it was unusable, which was very disappointing.

great style

love the style of the phone. not sure the mechanism is that high-quality, but we live in a town with sketchy phone service so wouldn't want to unfairly paint the phone as low-quality when it could be our lines. specifically, it seems like there is a delay when you're dialing. and i often feel like it might drop the call at any second. but everyone in our town complains of bad phone service.So tired of poor-quality, cordless phones. we love the old-style, land-line, corded phone in our kitchen.

Badly acted... and grossly innacurate

This is a terrible movie with little connection with history. The only thing accurate is that Commodore Perry came to Japan in 1853/4, The rest is pure, unbelievable fiction.I have always been a Toshira Mifune fan and he does the best with this aweful script. Richard Boone is in his "worst" role. He mugs and stamps all over the set... and that is about it. A young James Earl Jones has a small part which is equally unenspiring.Stay away.

Disappointing

I have always heard such great things about Feynman and his writting and so I thought I would read this book. What a disappointment! Being the transcript of a series of lectures, it is difficult to follow as he rambles from one topic to another. There doesn't seem to be any coherent focus. He also seems to state things that are fairly obvious or superficial as though they are the great secrets of the universe. I have not given up on Feynman books, but this one was just not worth it.

I have listened to this album non-stop since purchasing

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

Warriors #3

I've read all of the Warriors series, and they are all the best books ever! This one is one of my favorites, since it has so many surprises, and, like lots of reviews say, its really descriptive. I agree, its one of the saddest books, with the death and all, but it's really, really, good, too!In this installemnt, Fireheart struggles to get Graystripe to stop seeing Silverstream, and their relationship does end, but in a different way than you might think. There are floods, and RIverClan is chased out of their camp, so Fireheart and Graystripe try to help them. Plus Tigerclaw makes an attempt to kill FIreheart.This series is the best one that I've ever read, and to all that haven't already: Read them!

An excellent book through and through. I had never read a Christian Science Fiction before. I was so pleasantly suprised at the depth and intuitiveness of this book.

I believe that this is how it truely happens. I have read everything that Peretti has written to date and if you read this book you will be hooked as well. I can't say enough about his talent. All I know is that most books I get bored with. Not with any of his. You must try it!

Watch out!

I bought this December 2008 and was really happy with it for a few weeks. It seems that the plastic rings that hold the spout in place and also keeps the oil from passing between the spout and glass decided not to be flexible any longer. So without the rings trying to push against the glass for a snug fit, they now face upward and offer not to keep the spout in place any longer.I have no problem with this because I can just hold the spout in place with an index finger while its turned upside down. Before discovering this was needed, ouch.. A puddle of oil in the plate.Anyway, I am on the hunt for another drizzler although I may modify the nozzle to fit snugly to avoid accidents from guests.

why all this hype for a so common album?

I bought this album and I didn't like it at all. It often sounds like the crummy old New Wave of 80's (Cure, Joy Division, This Mortal Coil) Yuk! Where is the Hip Hop spirit ??? Psyence Fiction is the kind of CD we end to buy because of all the hype, buzz, commercials that are all around it, and that everyone won't care/remember in 3 months. The first CD of Massive Attack or Portishead were more interesting. This album brings absolutely nothing new or original in the trip/hip hop style , whatever you want to call this style of music. It was the idea to James Lavelle to make a "revolutionary" album, a kinda milestone, but he has failed.

The best little cordless power tool!

Everyone at work has an impact driver, diverse in brands, I chose the Bosch 10.8 impactor, because I already have the 10.8 adjustable driver(not the pocket driver that looks similar to the impactor). It uses the same battery, and it's small. I have shoulder and elbow issues, so when I need to do anything overhead, it's a bonus, because it's light and I can use my long extension bits to also help with hard to get to places. Like any battery though, they like to be warm, so if it is cold at night and I leave them in my vehicle, they don't like to get used. So I just let them warm up and they are just like when I started with them freshly charged. I highly recommend it, especially for the odd jobs and I wouldn't use it to put down a big deck, save that for the regular drivers.

Olive the Other Reindeer

This enjoyable holiday hit can be watched all year long, at least with my kids. Original and witty tunes make this DVD highly entertaining. Olive and sidekick Martini are adorable and funny.

Just read the book and rent Blade

Maybe I'm biased because I really enjoyed the book, but this movie is awful. The pacing was terrible, the characters were flat and the story lost quite a lot in the translation.Also, not really related to the movie but, come on Amazon no HD for the PC? Seriously? I know it's either some stupid licensing issue or more likely a ploy to get us to use Kindles, but I for one buy a ton of stuff from Amazon (book, movies, socks, everything) and I don't own a Kindle, nor do I have any plans to own one. So stop shoving it down my throat.

Reconsider...

I bought this one after my HP48 Graphing calculator got stolen. HP must have changed how their RPN works because I've made a number of calculation mistakes (getting different answers a number times in a row) using this calculator. I also hate that it has no "undo" function. That really kills. I really miss my HP48 and now seriously considering buying a used one.

Needs some more work

This is the second one of these that I ordered. The first one the holder worked great, but the battery tester would test brand new batteries (right out of the package) at the "low" reading - no higher and no lower. So I returned that one. The second one I received - this order - the battery tester needle seemed to get stuck so I would test the brand new battery and then it wouldn't go above the low end of "good" then I would take the battery off of the tester and the needle would stay where it was and then in a couple of seconds it would go back to it's non-testing location. I think it was "dragging" on the part of the tester that showed the scale for replace, low and good. Would not recommend this tester as it seems very cheaply made.

I made myself watch it and cringed the entire time...

Sutherland really should have opted out and done herself -- and this production -- a favor. I simply couldn't get into it (and this is my favorite opera!) because she was just too huge and horsey. The dashing Danillo seemed almost frail in her presence.Do yourself a favor: skip this one.

Outstanding read and reference book

My company and colleagues love this book and utilize the concepts and recommendations in our own accounts and have seen amazing results. Even in my previous position I was fortunate to have been a part of a team that followed this book's initiatives and suggestions almost to the letter and experienced greater patient satisfaction scores (90%+); employee turnover dropped to 7% from almost 21%; innovative concepts were developed and implemented as a result of new empowerment...and more!

Good Concept - Too Bad They Leak

This is a nice, sturdy glass bottle, with a spring clasp and a wire hanger. The problem is, the tube has a ball bearing type stopper that leaks when you invert the bottle into the cage drinking position. Apparently, there is a manufacturing defect. Perhaps the tube is at the wrong angle to allow the stopper to prevent leaking. When in the fully upright position, the entire contents will eventually leak out, a drop at a time. That is not acceptable. I bought two and both had the same problem, so I returned them. It is a very nice design; it is a shame this problem exists.

probably the greatest rock album ive ever heard

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. Not many bands make records like this anymore. Its trully a work of art, and id recomend you give it a listen. The album really is a masterpiece in its entirity, it flows together very well start to finish. This is not onw of those albums with just a couple good tracks, it really deserves an uninterupted listen. (listen for the first time with headphones!)

They're commercial rappers and it's all !

They want to make an image of them what is not real.They want to be gangstas but their album is a commercial album not an underground real gangsta album.Their music is not really bad but they're like Biggie in this: they want we think what they're not (never or not now)...They were this but now they are not gangstas they're POP stars!!

This book gets five stars from my five-year-old!

A mother wants to go to the beach, and like any good planner, wants to bring a few things: a turtle, an umbrella, a book, a ball, and of course, her baby. But every time she tries to get there, the mode of transportation makes it so she has to leave something behind...which she is not willing to do. What is missing in each picture? Little ones will enjoy guessing, and they will also enjoy finding the teeny ladybug in each picture. I liked the Mama's aplomb as she searches for the perfect solution to her problems (look at the picture where she wears the turtle like a bicycle helmet!). My little guy wants this book read over and over, and with this charming interactive adventure, it's my pleasure!

Do Not Waste Your Money!

In this narrative, Margaret Harrell claims to be enlightening the powers-that-be of the poverty, loneliness and lack of education that *some* junior enlisted wives encounter.Please. The aforementioned stereotypes about junior enlisted wives are old,old news. Even an officer's daughter/wife should have figured this out before performing extensive research(which,I'm sure, was done solely at the local trailer park) for a book that is a very sad stereotype of a very diverse group of people.Junior Enlisted wives come in all colors,shapes,sizes and ages. Many are educated, worldly,confident and motivated to succeed as wives,mothers and businesswomen. Individuals of this caliber are out there-unfortunately, the author of this rubbish chose to ignore this fact.Those of you who would like to gain knowledge of what a *real* junior enlisted wife is like should consider volunteering at the local USO as opposed to wasting an afternoon reading this book.

YOU ARE WARNED! 4 stars with a caveat...

This is an unusual review because I cannot say that I have seen this movie. Well, not in its entirety. It is an incredible movie so tightly acted, moving, and compelling that you are completely drawn into it. But if you are like me, what in this "politically correct" millineum is accused of being a homophobe, appx. two-thirds the way into this movie you will careen out of your home theatre with nausea hoping Pepto will save you. That is all I can tell you except at least you were warned unlike I was.P.S. My friends still laugh at my reaction!P.S.S. No, I don't care how great this movie is I'm never going to return to finish it. Even the trailer could send me to the porcelain god!

Deja Vu All Over Again

Symptomatic is a new novel about being biracial in America. It is the second novel on that same theme by author Danzy Senna. That previous work, Caucasia was heavily praised by critics. Unfortunately, Symptomatic does not break new ground in the biracial theme. If anything, it reads like a rewrite of Caucasia.As such, Symptomatic is a frustrating book for those who believed that Senna would be a major new voice on America's literary landscape.

Here's where I . . .

. . . stopped. Asimov proceeds from an excellent 1950s trilogy into the 1980s world of contract authorship and has to produce 350,000 words in a story that needed only 1/3 as many. Additionally, he becomes an unabashed purveyor for the Gaia (Mother Earth) myth, selling his soul and his intellect. Who knows, maybe his 1948 short story "Mother Earth" was a portent. Disappointed.

Tongue Twisting entertainment for your tots.

This book and the others in the Skippyjohn Jones series are very well received by both my five year old daughter and my nine year old son. They love the cadence of the stories it reminds you of Dr. Seuss' only in a mix of Spanish and English. What a wonderful imagination on this cute little Chihuahua. Oops!I mean kitten.

Cut out the inane cartoons.

I agree with another reviewer that the cartoons are painful. My 7 and 9 year olds did not enjoy them very much either. I'm not against cartoons to illustrate points or keep kids interest, but they are particularly annoying. And your listening to someone who loves SpongeBob here. My other criticism is that this DVD, like so many other DVDs and books, demonstrates more drills than skills. However, it does introduce enough information to be useful for my 7 and 9 year olds, and overall I would recommend it for lack of anything better to recommend.

Lovely, Lovely

Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen book at this time in my life and this movie represents it beautifully. They met. They fell in love. She broke it off. She regrets it. He comes back. Can they have a second chance? What more can you ask for? This is a British period piece, so the accents can be strong at times...be prepared. Also, it is not exactly like the book, a good reproduction, but not the same page for page. That shouldn't turn you off of the movie though. Nothing is ever as good as the original, but this movie does a decent job trying. Finally, don't expect twenty-somethings acting in this movie. If you want a younger cast, find the PBS/BBC version of Persausion. This movie is acted in by seasoned actors who also played the roles on stage. They know their characters and are very good at bringing them to life.

Not the best album of the 60s by a long shot.

Sure, this recording sounds about as good as you will ever hear it, but the music on it is certainly an acquired taste. If I remember correctly, I bought this album when it first came out, listened to it once then gave it away. I was curious to learn if my musical tastes had become more tolerant over the past 45 years but they, apparently, haven't.

75 % still working

I ordered 45 of these for a contest at work. I needed to order 60 to replace the ones that stopped working after the first 2 weeks. But they are simple enough for everyone to use, they do not reset accidently too often and they were only 2 bucks each, so I;m not complaining. Not to mention we call them "generous" They click over steps even if you laugh hard.

If you want to learn SQL--buy this book!

Unquestionably one of my best purchases. This book is terrific! If you're learning SQL for the first time or want to know more than "SELECT. . .FROM. . .WHERE" then buy this book! It allows you to really understand how to create all kinds of queries, rather than just being able to write command strings. The authors break complex concepts down into easy to understand lessons. The content is comprehensive and sophisticated but presented in a very intuitive way. Learning SQL has never been easier. The only drawback--and it's not the authors' fault--since, unfortunately, different database programs use different SQL syntax, you will have to refer to the manual for your specific program for some command strings. But you will learn so much from this book that your manual will actually make sense. This book is a must-have!

Good Value

I've used this unit for geocaching and it takes me right to the cache. After rebate the unit will end up costing $129, so for the price it is a good value. Do not load all the software if you don't need it. I only entered a few of the maps of places I go or plan to go, not all of them, so this cut down considerably on map loading time. The first time I loaded all the maps onto my computer, it took about 30 minutes. Loading straight from the geocaching site is very easy, and the unit holds the cache description as well. I find the screen visually appealing. I'm very pleased and prefer it over my Garmin E-trex Legend.

Fantastique!

There have been many comparisons between this book and the work of Patricia Cornwell. There are similarities, but Tempe Brennan has much more heart and most importantly humor than Kay Scarpetta has ever had. I say there's more than enough room for female authors writing strong, intelligent and emotionally complex female characters. The French touches were wonderful. I never realized how much French I remembered from high school and college. I pray that the world will hear more from Kathy Reichs!

Nice Looking Set

I bought a 7 piece set (just like this 4 piece one). Still haven't figured out what to do with the three smaller canisters, so maybe the four piece set would have been fine.The size is adequate for keeping flour, sugar, rice and tea (or similar items). The clasps aren't as straight as I'd like but do lock OK.They look good on the counter and I've had no trouble with weevils or anything, so it has a tight seal. An earlier set that I had (another company) ended up with dried out, brittle seals. Oggi says they will replace the seal if this happens with these.

Overated

Did not perform well at all for hooking up to a digital converter box to the TV. The location was about 40 miles from a larger city and received no signals at all. I then took the antenna to a new location about 25 miles from a major metropolitan area (Chicago) and set it up. It still did not bring in any reception. I put it to the side and tried a set of digital rabbit ear antenna. I now receive about 3 dozen channels.

Bad II Worse

The members of Boyz II Men may seem like gentlemen and all, but they have released some of the dullest singles of the 1990s. Safe, professional-sounding Black pop for the masses. Sure, they can sing, but so what? The music is a snooze. This collection gets the big one star mainly for "One Sweet Day," one of the very worst songs ever recorded. Not even legendary producers Babyface and Jam & Lewis can conceal the Boyz's blandness. "I'll Make Love to You" and "On Bended Knee" are as predictable as Christmas Day. Only on the single "Song for Mama," do we get signs of life. While I can't call Boyz II Men the worst r&b group ever, this hits collection is nothing more than an example of soul music without the soul.

A Disapointment

I rented this movie. I'm Jewish and thought it might be fun to watch, since it was billed as a dark comedy.There were a few spots, like the Bar Mitzvah, that had some familiar Jewish tradition. But the rest --Not funny, not profound. No likeable characters. Slow paced and boring. The ending left you hanging, but by then I didn't care anyway.The best part of watching this movie was that I was hemming a pair of pants while I was watching it. Got the pants done, since the movie wasn't very distracting.

My first Barbara Freethy book

I bought this for a whole .99 cents , i read the reviews, downloaded it onto my kindle. After reading several of Scott Nicholson short stories i figured i needed something a little milder & softer. This was perfect, a touch of romance with family lies, and a Chinese twist. Thoroughly enjoyed this book, as mentioned in my title this was my first Barbara Freethy book, now that i have gotten a taste of her great writing, i will be reading another one her books as soon as i can.

Meat 'n' Potatoes with Tommy Guns

This is a great slice of Americana, a true "Period Piece." Sinatra was a competent actor and probably could have paid the bills this way even if he hadn't been a remarkably talented singer. It's not everybody who can pull off a menacing tough-guy when he weighs 118 soaking wet. This film presents itself in stark tones both visually and thematically. Patriotism, courage, honor, sacrifice. The words necessary to make that into a sentence would only sully the higher meaning; and that's the feeling you get as you watch this film. It is sparse, but self-assured. Think of it as the lost episode of "The Andy Griffith Show."
