What do you want?
|
I was hoping to find songs taken from previous recordings (on other records). What I got is a short walk down memory lane of clipped versions with overdubbed loud instrumentals. One more regift!Paul

Not impressed!
|
I read so many reviews , raving about how this product really defines my curls and helps texturize and glaze it. Honestly it didn't do a thing but make it smell good.that's probably why I gave it a 1 star,other than that It really disappointed me. And did I mention how pricey it is for a texturizing product. Nothing beats my Loreal tec ni texx if for all hair texturizing purpose.

Buying Big TV's Online
|
NEVER, NEVER, buy any TV online. They say 99% of shipments are received without damage, (I highly doubt this figure), but if you are one those whose TV has been damaged, you're screwed. It has been going on two months now with the dealer, SONY and the shipping companies passing the buck to see who is responsible. So much easier to pay the extra couple of bucks and buy from a local reputable dealer (COSTCO)that will exchange without question.ONLINE BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Update 27 Nov 2009. I have now had this tv for 4 years, and other than the original shipment problems, the TV has worked fine. The lamp went out last week, but was easily fixed with a replacement bulb (get the bulb only and fix it for much less), and the TV worked like new. All the little color distortions and bad picture clarity were GONE!. I had no idea just replacing the bulb could have such a dramatic effect!

Quite disappointed!
|
I read rave reviews on another site and since I am trying to be more eco-friendly, I ordered a case of it from here. I soaked some dirt and grass stained white socks prior to putting them in the laundry. I followed the directions and after a couple of hours, there was no difference, so I kept adding more and more at hourly intervals until half a conatiner was used. It barely effected the dirt or grass stain. I consider it quite a waste of money and now wished I had only purchased one container from the other web site that sells them individually. As an aside, I was equally disappointed w/ the cleaner that I also bought a case of as it does NOT remove or clean as advertised.

Excellent heating for small to mid-large rooms
|
The heater worked perfectly right out of the box. No setup necessary, you just plug it in and it works. Heats my 12x14 bedroom with ease, and has heated out 16x22 living room with ease as well. Its wonderful because it is silent but it is also incredibly fast at heating whatever environment its in. The only downsides to it are its very large footprint and that it doesn't retain the last temperature setting you put in it - you have to set it every time you turn the heater on (its default is 75 F).If ever I was in need of another heater I would buy another one of these.

Old meets new
|
Old meets new. Lori still has the same sound she has always had, but it's been brought a little more mainstream on this CD. AND IT WORKS!I came across Lori before her "Faith Hill" days. Not sure how I came across her...but loved her voice, her lyrics.But this....this is what she was meant to be. She has not sold out. She has merged the old with the new. THIS is the way her songs were meant to be heard. The incredible voice. The touching lyrics. With a production befitting them.The CD has a very simple production that enhances but does not overpower her lyrics and incredible voice. The production does make some of her earlier stuff seem "demo'ish" but...hey, with titles like "The Kitchen Tapes," that was the whole idea.This CD is a wonderful progression for Lori. And....we benefit. This CD is a "must have."Folk meets country. Old meets new. Get it!

protects from scratches
|
This bag fits the harp, so enables carrying. There is no padding, though, so the harp could still be damaged if dropped or under pressure. The handles are a little long unless you are 5'10"? or taller. Great to protect from dust, scratches, and helps with transport.

Great idea but....
|
We received this as a gift. It is a really cute idea and cleverly designed, but not very practical for little kids. It's pretty flimsy considering it's suppose to stand up to the attention of a toddler- it's only made out of cardboard. There are so many little pieces that are easily lost. Like I said- wonderful idea but you would be better off just taking an old purse and filling it up with real items- old keys, old plastic sunglasses, etc.

A wonderful book
|
This is one of my daughter's books that I don't mind reading over and over again. At four, she's memorized the story, and at bedtime I'll read the bunny's names ("1 was named Abel...") and she'll supply where they sleep ("...he slept on the table."). She loves the rhymes, and the rhythm is lovely and even--making it good for bedtime story reading! This has also led to a great game: when we're in the car or I need something to occupy her, I can give her the bunny's names, and she'll tell me where they sleep.The illustrations are very nice, and I like that all the bunnies appear together with their Mom at the end; we enjoy looking for the various bunnies there.Highly recommended!

Better then a Hoodman Dedicated LCD Loupe
|
I had a Hoodman camera LCD loupeHoodman H-LPP3 HoodLoupe 3.0 Professional 3-Inch Screen Loupe, but now use a Pana-vue #3 Slide Viewer instead. To make a LCD loupe the slide viewer would need be modified with a saw to remove the slide holder part. I belong to a camera club in suburban Maryland Washington DC (NBCC), many of our other members now also this as a camera loupe solution. The Pana-vue is smaller and more compact then the Hoodman; remember a LCD loupe will typically be kept handy by storing in a pocket when not in use. While "on a shoot", having a durable compact item in my pocket is preferable to a fragile bulky one.

An excellent disturbing movie.
|
This is a movie that is very easy to misread. Other reveiwers have gone over the plot--but the plot is misleading. The movie is not "approving" of the film maker's abuse of the boy but showing the difficult situation and how it perpetuates itself. A fascinating character study that is not at all P.C. It was made for a low budget but I think that lends to it's rough, difficult subject matter. The film rings very true for me. It lingers and disturbs well after the movie is over.

Interesting Read
|
This book was an interesting read, although I didn't agree with all of the theory within. I liked some of the ways that it tried to open women's eyes and see themselves in more positive lights, however it completely assumed that all men were cut from the same cloth. It was certainly interesting, but I found it flawed.

Best Book Ever? Kidding?
|
First of all, political pundits can rarely produce good writing. It is their ideas people find enticing, so just admit it that this book is poorly written and you just like Hannity's ideas. Second, why are opinion books so popular? Form your own opinions. Conservatives that need to buy books by Hannity and Coulter are intellectually dependent on pundits to affirm their own values. If you're one of those people that read newspapers, forms an opinion on an issue, then turns on Hannity-Radio to make sure that his opinions jive with yours (and then change your own opinion because Hannity has a different one)...then you should buy this book. If you read a newspaper and form your own opinions without needing someone to tell you that your ideas are A-OK, then don't buy this book.

Was good until it got religious
|
I was enjoying this book as an easy, fun read even though it was not totally capturing my attention, until a third of the way through it suddenly got religious. The characters all started talking about their faith in God, etc. It was literally every other sentence. I had no idea this was a "Christian" novel or I wouldn't have started reading it. Good thing I got it for free. I am surprised that the author waited until almost the middle to start preaching. I really didn't see that coming. Definitely not going to finish it and deleted it from my device. Unless you are into reading a novel that kind of tricks you into reading it only to then try to preach to you, don't bother.

POOR PERFORMANCE - lukewarm support
|
I bought this product to support two different MIDI devices.It works fine with my DigiTech GNX-3 (to move settings between the PC and the GNX-3).It does not work with my Yamaha MIDI keyboard. As noted by other comments, it only gets a few notes here and there.I took the same Yamaha keyboard and connected it through a joystick/midi port, and it worked great. So the fault is definitely with the UNO.Tech support has not been helpful thus-far, but will give a full update after we have tracked the incident to the bitter end.

Slow moving and difficult to read.
|
This book was an assignment for an AP English course and if it hadn't been I would have put it down after the first three pages. It was hard to follow from the begginning because it gave descriptions about things you couldn't understand. Confused and irritated, I forced myself to finish the novel and found the entire thing to be boring and lame.

Just another excuse to make money
|
I am sorry but after reading this book, I have to admit that the feminists are right. Men are pigs and the only reason this book was written was for the authors to make money.The book tries to justify its existance by saying it is designed to help you find the love of your life on the internet. It actually only helps you find the love of your night. If I had actually used any of the tips in the book, I would have had alot of sex but I doubt finding my soulmate would have been possible. In fact I doubt anyone using this tips would find their ultimate mate, it would be inspite of the tips not because of them.An entire chapter is devoted to sterotyping women, though the authors do try to explain most women do not meet these types, then the list over 10 to watch out for.I am glad I did not actually pay for this, I would have demanded my money back.

this router is a POS

Like many others, first crack at the router was easy and simple. Plugged it in and worked. After a month or so, it got buggy, and eventually, could not access its setup page. It's been sitting there since collecting dust as I've given up with netgear's product support. Fast forward to a month ago and bro arrives with another wgr614 v4. Same thing, works great then dies on you. Bro, a google systems/network manager, worked for hours on end trying to troubleshoot, but unfortunately, to no avail. NETGEAR, WHEN WILL YOU HELP US?!??!?!?!? I say we band together, spread the word, and bring down Netgear!

Above Average Military Sci-Fi
|
Ditto. This book, and the previous one (Semper Mars) both provide solid summer escape reading. Unlike Sherman & Cragg's "Starfist" or Diehl's "Legion of the Damned" series, Douglas's characters are actually believable.For those of you who like Douglas's (ie. Bill Keith's) work, I also recommend his "Seals: The Warrior Breed" series, written under another pseudonym, H. Jay Riker. While not exactly sci-fi, this is a great series for techno-thriller buffs.

I normally love these books, especially the dry wit. This one was a bit dull and very disjointed. Why did Shinko have much more press than Claud? Lots of loose ends not tied up and just not as amusing. Caca de chiens is a bit harsh, but perhaps fitting.

"A Hole Too Small" unusable . . . .
|
The seat is beautiful. The seat is unusable. The opening is only 9" x 8". The opening in the seat it is replacing is 10" x 9". I have visited the nearest store with my tape measure and found that none of the seats there have such a tiny opening. All the openings there for "round" toilets are AS large or LARGER than my original seat. This tiny opening may be adequate for a small child, tiny people, or your pet cat, but not an average ADULT. I wish that Amazon included this crucial measurement in the product description. I will need to return this - or use it for a picture frame. Very, very disappointed!!

A Very Funny Document
|
Vertiginous Falls Descend through Vast Frigid Domains! Vicious Flies Dart! Villainous Felons Destroy Valuable Fortress! Don't vacillate from despair, though! Various friends drop by, Violet fabricates devices, Klaus's vocabulary fathoms dilemmas, and as for Sonny: View Fine Dentition! In fact, the whole valorous family dexterously vanquishes foul designs.So, does the story come out all right in the end? Vexed. Foggy. Doubtful...This volume provides all the lugubrious fun that all the others do. And the words Volunteer Fire Department are spoken out loud, if I recall correctly, for the first time. (Darn. I felt sure that's what VFD was going to stand for - but now they've trotted it out three whole books of unfortunate events from the end, I must have been wrong. But whatever the mysterious answer turns out to be, I know our young heroes will face it with Virtue, Firmness, and Dignity.)

A thought provoking read, recommended
|
Almost as tumultuous as the war itself, the postwar was no time for peace. "America's Second Crusade" is a reprint of William Henry Chamberlin's critically applauded book from after the end of World War II about the United States, Soviet Russia, and the United Kingdom's plans for peace following the massive world wide conflict. Critical of the concessions made to the soviets, "America's Second Crusade" is a window to the politics of the time, and a thought provoking read, recommended.

An uplifting spiritual event
|
Listning to Pope John Paul II's words and then hearing the response form the public made the hairs on my arms stand up on end. It was inspiring to hear his words and to feel a sense of what it was like to be there when the Pope spoke to America for the first time in American history. I also enjoyed listning to "Ave Maria" and "The Lord's Prayer." This will be a keepsake in my family for many years to come.

Plot twists for the sake of plot twists
|
I decide to rent this on a whim after hearing an acquaintance call it one of the best films he's ever seen. Big mistake.Gone Baby Gone plays out like a beefed up whodoneit made for the big screen. I say 'beefed up' in the sense that the writers/producers needed to add an overwhelming number of plot twists to take its basic storyline from the level of Hallmark Channel Original to Major Motion Picture status. This movie has plot twists for the sake of plot twists. While I can say that this movie DID keep my attention for the full 2 hours, I only give it 2/5 stars instead of 3 because the last plot twist is so unbelievably stupid and farfetched that it's a slap in the face to the viewer that just invested 2 hours of his/her time in this.

Agree with the review about assembly. Even though it only took 30 minutes to figure it out, it could have been done in 10-15 minutes with a simple assembly sheet. Quality is just so-so. i teach woodshop at a high school, and this was the first time I bought a piece of equipment that is not industrial grade. I purchased this with their 200 dollar cabinet and can't say it is junk, but it simply isn't as good a quality as my small home use bosch table is. It is bigger, which makes it easier for my students to work with, but if it's a home shop tool you're looking for, I would recommend the bosch or similar table.

A Definite Classic
|
Cat Stevens' "Tea For The Tillerman" is truly a classic album, and classic albums don't get any classier than this. "Tillerman" boasts three well-known classic tunes: "Where Do The Children Play", "Wild World" and "Father And Son"(probably one of the smartest songs you'll ever hear on radio), but the fun doesn't end there, as every other song on the album has the makings of a classic. Here are a few standouts: "Sad Lisa" with its string arrangment is one of the album's best songs. "Miles From Nowhere" and "But I Might Die Tonight" are terrific rockers, the latter being my favourite song on the album - a brief tune about the monotony of the working day. "Into White" has a more traditional folk sound.With these songs in mind, its not hard to understand why "Tea For The Tillerman" has been a staple in folk and classic rock record collections since the day it was released. It is my favourite Cat Stevens album, and a wonderful album at that.

A definitive study in courage
|
I meet Col. Dryden when he gave a talk about his experiences and his book. I then read the book a felt a tremendous respect for the author and all the Tuskeegee Airmen. Col. Dryden tells his personal story in a way that made me feel as though I was there with him the whole time. The challanges of blacks in America in his story left a powerful impact on me, the courage the author displayed is an insperation. A-Train is very well written and reads easily. It is an powerful story that left me feeling inadequate and ashamed to be white. I had the oportunity to meet Col. Dryden again and sought him out just to shake his hand again, knowing him from his book, it was hard to hide my emotions.

I tried a clothes-hanger, but had no luck in removing my Ford Ranger radio. With this tool I had the radio out in no time and with little effort.

Fear

From the boy next door to every girls worst nightmare in a heart beat. A thriller that lets you love and hate the same character at the same time. Twists and turns keep your eyes glued to the television and Mark Walbergs gentle stare keeps you loving a psychotic. The ending keeps those who enjoyed the movie hoping for more. An ending scene with police divers keeps those who noticed it wondering, was he alive or was he dead? Just who's body were they looking for?

Spring Clamp Too Small
|
I LOVE the idea of the light with flexible neck but was disappointed when I couldn't get the clamp to fit anywhere on the grill. I measured before I purchased it and it should have worked but it didn't. If the clamp would have opened up another 1/8 of an inch it would have fit. Because it was a early Father's Day gift to my husband, he made the best of it and attached it to a chair that we slid up next to the grill instead of sending it back. He didn't want to hurt the kids feelings. A word to the wise....great gift idea...but, make sure your grill tray is less then an inch thick....3/4" much better....ours was 1" exactly.

It's a Theory!
|
Erik Erikson made a HUGE contribution to various areas of the Social Sciences. His work, however, was theoretical. Since it was theoretical, it is open to interpretation, application, etc. Otherwise, his work would be fact! Any basic Human Development course or text would reveal a more accurate critique of Erikson's work. Dewart provides a critique based on her religious beliefs--which is fine, except that you will note that all of her writings are pointing out which theorists, philosophers, ideologies do not match her religious beliefs.You would think that someone writing a book about the errors of a major psychological theory would have a more appropriate background than Dewart's--she is a ventriloquist doing bible puppet shows! Don't waste your time with this one. Fabricant's book does a much better job of showing how Erikson's theory aligns with most religious doctrine, instead of running counter to it.

A Labor of Love, Worthwhile to all students of American History
|
Definately the untold story of slavery in America and the Western World. Olexer gives us the history, peppered liberally with text from original documents, showing that our roots of slavery are much deeper than we are commonly taught.The writing is easy to read, but painful to acknowledge. While Olexer gives us an unvarnished piece of our history, she never devolves into sermonizing or shaming the reader. We are left to make our own conclusions and search our own souls, which is always far more disturbing.

HARASSING MY MOTHER!

I ordered this product and did not receive a tracking number. I finally got a tracking number and later my package came. Apparently I gave them a neutral review(which I don't remember doing) and they sent an email wondering why I gave them a neutral review. They also decide to call my mother and harass her about the review and demanded that she take it down. She explained that it was her daughter who ordered the product and they continued to have a conversation with my mom even though she knew nothing about the review. I don't appreciate them calling and arguing with my mother about something that she knew NOTHING about. If they asked me to call them back or if they gave me time to respond to the email, I would have been more than happy to fix the problem but now I REFUSE to ever work with these people again. They are unprofessional so STAY AWAY!!!!

A great album, but not their best.
|
This album sounds like it was record by alien robots, not humans, but that is a good thing. It is probably the most experimental Milemarker album so far and also the logical final product of the "Milemarker Sound". I did not like it the first time I heard it. After a few listens, though, I came to appreciate what I had missed the first few times. It is well concieved and at once hard to listen to and very "catchy". Personally I like their second LP "Futurisms" better, but this is definitely feels more like a album, not just a bunch of songs.Be warned... this sounds nothing like they do live. If you want a capsule of the Milemarker live sound, check out "Changing Caring Humans", their singles compilation cd. That's my favorite release by them and incidentally it is the least electronic. If you are into the electronic sound, you might want to skip that and just pick up Frigid Forms Sell.

Good timer, but wrong voltage
|
There was insufficient information on the Amazon website regarding voltage so I inadvertently selected a 220 volt timer when in fact I need a 110 volt timer to manage a gas water heater with a 110 volt electric exhaust fan that governs the activity of the entire water heater. Must return the item. More technical information at the Amazon website is needed on this and similar items.

Just what I was searching for

I am very pleased with this purchase. It was just what I was searching for in a weight scale. I would have liked a few more extras, but performs as intended.

Where's Joseph?
|
My 3 year old twin daughters love Little People playsets, so I thought this would be the perfect Nativity set for them to play with and learn the story of Christmas. Clearly the designers of this toy forgot to actually READ the nativity story first though as there is no Joseph, just Mary, the baby Jesus, the angel, three wise men, one shepherd and four animals. He may have only been the earthly father of Jesus, but Joseph was very much present on the night of Jesus's birth so should have been included. Perfectly fine toy to play with, but not a good example of a Nativity Scene.

Michelle has grown!
|
I think that this album certainly has seen Michelle grown from a vocal point of view as well as in her guitar playing and music.Certainly the sounds seem just as good at the one in her previous album.Hopefully this one will make it big.

Review for Shawn Trautman's Swing Dancing I DVD
|
I found Shawn Trautman's Swing Dancing I DVD to be exceedingly helpful. I am not a natural dancer (I have the proverbial "two left feet"), but I found his instruction to be clear and easy to follow. The whole thing made sense after I saw it. I would highly recommend it for beginners. And I understand that he is making additional DVDs for more advanced swing dancers. I plan to buy them when they come out.

disapointed me!!
|
Two years ago when I didn't know anything about opera I thought this version of Pagliacci was the best one. Nowadays that I've listened other versions I find out that the only thing that this version must preserve as good are the ochestra (Pretre) and Pons.Here Domingo sounds not as good as he usualy does, and not talking about Stratas that must preserve in the contemporary repertoire, Not Iatalian opera for Stratas!! It seems that she dosen't feel really Italian opera.I can recomend other Pagliacci's versions: Corelli, Gobbi or di Stefano, Gobbi. Believe me there are better versions than this one.

Drivel

What a disappointment! The first few chapters of this book are essentially meaningless fill and drivel. I will avoid this author in the future. Why not just one word per page? Then you can sell more paper!

Not good for large flat panel tvs
|
This mount, while heavy duty and sturdy, is not good for large (over 42") flat screen tvs because it does not give enough clearance behind the television. The brackets do not extend away from the wall very far, so the tilt is minimal. Will re-mount our tv in the future with a different bracket.

Later Recordings
|
This is an 8 song sampler of George Morgan's recordings from 1973 through 1975 when he was with Decca/MCA (five songs) and 4 Star (In the Misty Moonlight and the Lorrie Morgan duets).Morgan was always in good voice, and although the running time is way too short, this is a worthwhile collection to pick up if you are a big fan. Especially if you can find it for under $2.50.

Poor Design
|
This would be a great toy if the train track wasn't set up right in front of the station. Our 18 month old loves to play with all the cool features on the station but has to sit on the track to reach it. Wish there was a way to turn off the track. Right now all you hear is a bunch of noises because the track buttons are going off plus what he is pushing on the station.Caution with older kids that can not reach the station they may break the train track by sitting on it or walking on it to get to the station.

Too Anglo-centric and hotel/resort focused
|
I was extremely disappointed by this book and the very anglo focus that it has. Nearly 100 pages are devoted to Britain, Scotland and Wales. Same for the U.S. While I agree there are some very interesting things to see in both places, the world has other more interesting places.Perhaps the author could have devoted a few additional pages to asia for example at the expense of the endless inn's and gardens in England. For example, the author overlooks Nikko, Japan which is a World Heritage site. Also no listings for anything in Korea, a country of amazing heritage, food and art and yet nothing!Better off buying a lonely planet guide and going from there.

Great "Book" for a Long Car Ride
|
My friend brought along the audio tape of Ken Follett's "The Third Twin" on our road trip from Boston to Baltimore (6.5 hours). I was a bit skeptical about the book; it sounded too sci-fi for my tastes. Was I wrong! This book kept us engrossed. Even in gridlock on the New Jersey Turnpike. The book was set in Baltimore (our final destination. We knew from the first 5 minutes of the tape that this was going to be a winner!

Red Mafiya
|
Books that claim to take readers inside a subject often fail to deliver. But Red Mafiya really does give you the inside scoop on the Russian mob in America. And unlike many investigative books that are densely written and difficult to read, this book is hard to put down. Friedman vividly reconstructs murder investigations, describes kidnapping attempts and recounts the how the FBI tracked down a criminal in Russia. It's not all blood and gore either. It made me laugh when one mobster insists on inspecting the boots of a rival gang in order to find the person who shot him. It made me feel sorry for hard-working police who are trying to combat the crime wave without the support needed to succeed. And it made me angry to see how many of these criminals are using the millions they've looted from the former Soviet Union to buy up expensive real estate in this country.

Solid Cleanliness for the Whole Family
|
I really like the smell and how well it works. Ordering it from Amazon has the added convenience of getting a large quantity of liquid hand soap to use in all the bathrooms. The soap is good quality and does not overly dry out our hands especially during the harsh winter months. Mrs Meyer's brand has a reputation for natural products and, while some of their ingredients may be questionable (for example, sodium lauryl sulfate), I think it is a good product overall and a safe one for my family.

OBSESSED!
|
I'm OBSESSED with Dancing with the Stars! I always told my husband that if Louis can get celebrities with no dance experience to dance like pros he could totally help me. Well my husband bought the DVDs for me and put me to the test...I'm not going to lie, I have never been a good dancer and I was horrified of the idea of anyone watching me so doing this at home was the only option for me - I have to say Louis makes it SO easy to follow!!! I still won't do the program in front of my husband, but I feel stronger and sexier and I am going to stick with this. It has really boosted my confidence!

great for home use
|
I am really happy with this little fax machine, perfect for what I needed. I read other reviews before buying and was a little concerned about quality - not anymore. If you are looking for a high-volume fax then you should be looking at higher priced faxes. If you are looking for a home fax this is PERFECT. It is a wonderful size, easy to use, set up was so easy I thought I must have missed something. I think this is a real good buy!

Great book. A must for any Library!

Great book for any library. My only concern was with the seller. I ordered a Hardcover per the description, but received a paperback. I contacted the seller and they were willing to send a refund for the difference. The paperback was in great condition though and still made a great gift. Got my refund promplty though. If you order from them, just be patient.

Songtrack, Not a Soundtrack
|
Danny Elfman did a superb job with this score. His music connects well with the movie. Too bad most of it is left off the official soundtrack release. Maybe a small label can acquire rights to release the Elfman score later. Most of the tracks on this CD has nothing to do with the movie. This CD should be found in the Nu-Rock section of the music store, not the Soundtrack section.

Excellent!
|
Decent horror movies are hard to come by and really good ones, even harder. In "Case 39" the cast is excellent as well as the sound track and acting. The story, although hardly original, was extremely well done. Without overloading the viewer with gore and cheesy effects, the director instead made good use of taut suspense and controlled pacing to achieve a riveting story. If you are a fan of good horror, you won't want to miss this one.

good case
|
This is a good case for my new Sony camera, though the value for money aspect kept me from giving it a perfect score of five stars.The fit for the camera is snug, and it manages to provide the camera's body with adequate protection without being bulky. It also resists scratches -- I've used mine for several weeks and have already traveled with it a great deal, and it still looks new (and thanks to the case, so does the camera). It even comes with a variety of carrying straps, assuring that at least one will suit your needs. It is obvious that a great deal of thought went into the case, just as it did the camera.

Worked well the first two times, but then it broke.
|
I purchased this chopper primarily for pureeing tomatoes, chopping onions, and other simple stuff like that. I used it twice, and when I got it out the third time, it wouldn't work. The problem is the built-in safety lock. You have to lock the cannister onto the base, and the lid onto the cannister in order for the unit to turn on. Well there seems to be a problem in the mix, because the cannister/lid combination won't depress the safety button far enough. Unfortunately, I've had it for 60 days, so I'm beyond Amazon's return/exchange policy. I tried calling KitchenAid warranty service, but haven't yet been able to get through.I'm a big fan of my KitchenAid stand mixer, but everything else I've ever bought from them (this, a blender, and some kitchen utensils) has failed. All seem to be quality control issues.

The book was so much better!
|
This movie wasn't a total waste of time, but it didn't do justice to the book either. My husband and I were both riveted by the book, so we rented the movie. It glossed over so much of the fascinating beginning of the book, and simplified so much within the book, that we were left with a bare-bones story. Bare-bones was just not very entertaining. Michael Crichton should be more careful about signing away movie rights!

feminist jewish propaganda - dont waste your money!

full of psychobabble and whining, signifying nothing. everyone suffers but this editor seems to have a penchant for choosing the authors that wallow in their misery. I for one am exhausted by all the pissing and moaning by liberal elites who need to make a career out the tragedies of history. This person, Loolwa Khazzoom, should get an honest job instead of riding her high horse around, crying about injustices that are in the past and are not going to be remedied.

I already have all of Bemo's other books and I think they're all great. My fave is THE BEATLES-NOT FOR SALE. Very detailed. PSYCHEDELIA is a great look at an era/genre of music created when the world was changing and one of the main reasons for this change was the music.

A Polished Album
|
I can't beleive some of the reviews here (1 star?). I acknowledge that Russian Roulette is not Accept's best album, but what is all this talk of selling out to the commercial market? If anything this album is less commercial than Metal Heart of which I am also a big fan. Russian Roulette's (originally titled Wargames - changed for obvious reasons) content is chiefly about the negatives of war and raises some very serious issuses. Accept showed they had matured with this album in both their personal views and songwriting. As ever the dual guitars, together with the bass and drums of the 4 classicaly trained muscians sounds fantastic, but with a polished edge - not commercial.

Badly designed power supply, FIXED!
|
Before you buy, check the Roku Forums regarding the radio's power supply. Mine failed after 15 months, which appears to be about average. Roku will not stand behind this product, so when it fails, and it will, you are out of luck (and $300+).Update 1: Like other reviewers, Roku support has ignored my emails. Do not buy this product!! If you do, you'll be sorry.Update 2: I removed the defective PSU, and replaced it with an external 3 amp 13.8v power supply. It took about 2 hours and cost $24 to fix it.

Virtues summary without effective application technique
|
Easy to read, excellent summary of characteristics(virtues)needed to raise happy and thoughtful indiviuals.We have a 4 year old with impulse and focus behavioral problems. The 30 minute or less "talks" (coaching sessions) and diet recommendations the authors advocate have not been effective. We have been discussing respect, empathy and have been leading by example for a long time. Words do not work for our child. We have had some success with 1-2-3 Magic by T. Phelen PhD.

I have read reviews that this album is worth nothing.Others say its pure gold.I have been a backstreetboys fan since I was little.This albums brings so much memories.I love this album and recomend it to true Backstreetboys fans.This album is over 10 years old so of course its going to sound old school.People today hate Frank Sinatras songs because it sounds like a old radio.Back then there were no computers than help change a persons voice.People who hate this album have no appresiation on true music.There's a reason this album sold millions of copies.In conclusion this album is that dam good.

This Nextel Self Service Activation guide was clear and concise. After reading it carefully and following the instructions I was able to successfully activate the Nextel service with no hassle. I under one hour I went from phoneless to part of the next generation wireless revolution. Without this guide I would have been lost -- it contains the EXACT 1-800 number to call for activation... there are 10 million possible combinations of 1-800 numbers and have the correct one on hand is truly invaluable.

HOT SIX by Janet EvanovichIn the sixth installment of the Stephanie Plum series, HOT SIX is yet another fun and exciting novel featuring this accident-prone bounty hunter. This time around, Grandmother Mazur has had a fight with Stephanie's father, so guess who is moving in with Stephanie?Besides dealing with Grandmother Mazur's snoring at night, Stephanie's latest assignment is to track down her old buddy Ranger who is now a fugitive with the law. She also has two bumbling idiots following her wherever she goes, thinking that she would lead them to Ranger. Morelli is of course in the picture, and things are getting hot and heavy between the two of them. And Stephanie has also temporarily acquired a huge dog that cannot seem to stop eating.I cannot express how much I enjoy this series. HOT SIX was yet another fun read and I am looking forward to the next one. Janet Evanovich, please do not stop writing these books!

Why abridge an important classic?
|
I have not read this abridgement. I gave it two stars because it is still Douglas Southall Freeman, more or less. I have read the three volume set twice now and no doubt will go through it again in the future. In three volumes this is a classic of the genre, books that set the standards for all the others, just like Shelby Foote's three volume compendium. An abridgement of this type is for the novice set. My opinion is that everyone who is interested should get the three original volumes. I believe they can still be found or at least ordered.
