description does not match the product
|
This Nuby sippy cup is described as having both a single valve and the dual valve, these are two different Nuby products. The cup pictured actually has the single valve which is the silicone spout. This soft spout is great for the younger baby just leaning how to sip, but you'll need to move on to a hard spout.Why?It will leak. And your child will figure out how to make the liquid flow freely by turning it upside down and pressing on any flat surface.

sloppy technical writing
|
This is technical writing at its sloppiest. Just for you to get a taste of it, let me quote from a section called "What is a Distributed CORBA object?" "CORBA objects are blobs of intelligence that live anywhere on a network."What is a blob of intelligence? A program? A register? A line of code? And further: "... the language ... used to create server objects ..."The language changes to 'server' objects. Are there also 'client' objects? Are they different? You wouldn't know from reading this section. Note also that the section title refers to 'distributed' objects. Is this yet another category of objects? Is it so hard to give a clear definition?

BIASED REVIEWS
|
I was interested in purchasing this popcorn maker as part of a gift set. However, when reading the reviews on Amazon.com I realized a serious problem. The reviews are biased. Look through the 79+ reviews. You'll see the majority of the reviews give the product a full 5 stars (which is extremely surprising considering most reviewers are finicky), are written in the same tone/style of writing, and say what a wonderful gift this would make. Many also mention that it's the best popcorn ever and they've used it for several years. Some even venture to say it only works well only if you use Wabash popcorn.If you read reviews less than 5 stars you'll see all writers say this gadget broke/melted within a couple months. There is a serious bias in these reviews and I hope consumers are not being taken advantage of. Some of the high reviews may be valid but I'm quite certain nearly all are false...I've decided not to purchase the item.

Fantastic Lens
|
I have had this lens a short time now, and the weather has not permitted much in the way of outdoor use. The shots that I have been able to take, including some indoor available light and flash, have been superb. Extremely sharp optics with excellent FOV. This lens will probably stay on my L1 body for all-around use.

WORST CHOICE FOR YOUNGSTER
|
I bought these for a princess obsessed four year old- worst choice. the paper is flimsey and the dresses easy to tear. Also, with Aurora and Aerial's hair down, it is nearly impossible for a four year old to dress the dolls herself. Another problem was the dresses fall off very easily. Check out the barbie paper dolls, they were much better!

GARBAGE
|
After 1 use this piece of junk became stuck and I can't even remove the black insert to change it out. Do not buy this or anything else from Kegworks. Their customer service wasn't the least bit helpful and would not offer a refund or even an exchange. Probably the worst customer service I've ever heard. I own a bar and WOULD have bought quite a few of these but won't be spending another cent at Kegworks.

A good read
|
This is a novel worth reading, it's not a 'You've GOT to read this' book but it does give a few hours of pleasure and increases your knowledge on about the 17th Century plague. Brooks is a fine wordsmith and the narrative flows easily, pictures of what you are reading about form easily in the mind and it is a pleasure to take up where you have left off. For all that I thought some of the ideas, eg the celibacy one was rather extreme and the exotic ending far too stretched for the times.

A Man Who Thinks Like A Woman
|
Really satisfying and realistically erotic love story -- okay, so there's a lot of poetic license because it's just perfect -- but I can't get over how Farrington gets the female side of the story. It's NOT a male fantasy about how women fall in love and why, or have sex, it's a female one. Like "Something's Gotta Give" and that one with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin. What if all your fantasies came true???? Alec wants you back, you cure Nicholson of his womanizing, a sexy, decent, deep-thinking man with holey underwear moves in downstairs. Hey, that happened to me once (I kicked him out after three months).I think I like that Rebecca has grown up enough to know that falling in love when you're young is fantastical, so you look for something more real when the fairy tale turns sour. And then, boom, you fall in love again, and it's just as crazy as the first time, and you say, what the hell, that's life.

Sunpentown swamp cooler
|
It works well in a small room, like a bedroom. I have a large living room with 20 ft. vaulted ceilings, and it can't cool it down much. However, when I put it in my bedroom, it's pretty nice! For my living room, it's still nice if it's blowing on you, but don't forget that the temp feels hotter with more humidity! Great purchase though for the price.

This extremely cheap mess is so laughably bad at times that it's [almost] entertaining
|
Mickey and Sonya rob a bank with the assistance of two other girls. Two of them are killed, But the cops make a mistake and think that three of them died instead. Now, They're after only one suspect. Sonya sets Mickey up to take the fall for the crime and years after she gets out of prison, Mickey goes looking for revenge against her former friend. This is too bad to be true. The guns look very unreal, There's no gunfire to be seen when the guns are fired, And there's no sound effects to be heard when people are hit. Not to mention, The acting is very atrocious and the action scenes in this movie are piss poor. All copies of this movie need to be buried somewhere and never dug up. Definitely not worth viewing under any circumstances. Hope this review helped, And you can bet, That i'm out.

DVD for Dogs not so entertaining
|
I bought this for my dog whom we have decided has A.D.D. (haha) Anyway, she does have a short attention span, and the scenes in this movie are a bit too long to hold her attention. They will interest her for about 10 seconds, maybe a little longer, but as each scene and sound stays there for a good 5-10 minutes, I ended up watching more than she did. Also, there weren't a lot of barking dogs (just the same one occasionally throughout the movie) and there weren't any scenes of dogs playing together or anything. I think that these would have held her attention far longer than the ducks, chickens, fish, etc..The movie is set up nicely, but for a dog with virtually no attention span, it didn't work out well.

An excellent detailed view of an entire city
|
Forge of Shadow is an incredibly detailed look at a whole city. Filled with gritty details of a conquered city, this book allows you to generate dozens if not hundreds of plot hooks and storylines. It is complete with descriptions of city districts, organizations, locations (`The Burning Elf' is my favorite) and personalities. In some ways it reminds me of the Freeport setting- dark and gritty, but under a unified oppressive yoke. While meant for the Midnight setting, I don't see why this can't be adapted to any other setting. If you want dark brooding city adventures, this is a must-have.

Didn't they tune this thing?
|
I found most of this CD unlistenable because of this harpsichord's horribly bad intonation, reminiscent of a saloon piano in an old Western movie. What ever charm the selection of pieces may have had was destroyed by the wild beating of mis-tuned strings, particularly evident with descending lines. One wonders if the poor instrument was left in the rain just prior to the recording session, or if the instrument was tuned to a mean-tone temperment, after which the keyboard was transposed a semitone. Did no one listen to this recording before releasing it?

The box is nice, but the sextant arrived broken - one of the screws had fallen out so I had to repair it before giving it away as a gift. The quality of it was not good at all, it looks cheap & there was glue visible in places. It didn't look antique or distressed, just cheap.

I had fun reading this fairy tale of a young man that was evicted numerous times, hit rock bottom, and worked his way up to millionaire status.

Preachy False History
|
I sampled this book recently because I heard Oprah chose it. I was frustrated by the lack of historical integrity. I felt preached upon by a story with a narrow and faulty point of view. If this was simply left as a piece of fiction I might have been able to swallow it.I write this review because a previous reviewer stated some of the same points. And I'd like others to know that it just isn't one persons' view.The book is well written trash, preachy at best!

Lack-lustre Batucada Action
|
I found this a disappointing box of tricks. Didn't really work for me. It's stylistically all over the show with few standout tracks. The highlights were Walter Wanderley and Nicola Conte for their tutti-fruttiness. A whole album of that would be a dream but with Batucada flicking around through genres and decades leaves the album lacking in an overall feel. And spare us that Sergio Mendez: makes me feel ill! The bulk just meanders on by. Spend your hard earned cha-ching on something else. love belle xxx

So Easy, It Was Scary
|
This router was so easy to install, it was scary! After years of living in "Linksys hell" with their "b" router, version 2, I decided to take a chance on a new, highly-rated router. Out of the box, I had the Belkin installed and working immediately in 10 minutes or less!! I'm just an average user, but I highly recommend this router to anyone who is thinking of switching to wireless networking in their home. Well worth the money to upgrade.

Astounding speed!

IF you have an ExpressCard on your laptop (it would be sitting above your PC Card/PCMCIA slot and there's an "L"-shaped plastic insert that you use to fill the slot when nothing's in it), AND if you use CF Cards in digital photography, buy this.In just a few words: I can transfer photos about six to nine times faster into my computer than with USB 2.0. It's wonderful.I agree with the earlier reviewer that it does need some sort of case, as anything L-shaped might break, but other than that, it's a great tool. Even better, I plugged it into my 64-bit Vista system, and it worked the first time. (Don't anyone tell you that there are no drivers for 64-bit!)

emotionally gripping characters
|
I have enjoyed Goodkind's other books in the Sword of Truth Series, but I loved Temple of the Winds. The irony is that at one point I was so mad at the way the story was progressing I could have literally thrown the book down and written my own ending, but I wanted to know what actually happened. Goodkind's characters are so real and vividly described that I truly cared what happened to them. I don't remember the last time I felt that way about a book I was reading. Goodkind is also excellent at showing how good or evil his characters are, not just telling. He shows how evil the villians are, but there deeds and how much they enjoy their twisted acts. I highly recommend this book, even if you have not read the previous three books in this series.

Hard to listen too

I love this band but I think they went overboard on the hyped up, digitally distorted sound of this album. In the old days of punk and garage bands there was always distortion but it was analog and not digital.....a big difference. I think a lot of people will find that they won't play this album as often as they first thought they might because there are frequencies in this record that just don't make you feel good. Give me analog distortion any day. Favorite songs "Abra Cadaver", "Two-Timing Touch And Broken Bones", "Walk Idiot Walk" and "No Pun Intended"

Okay But ended too fast
|
I liked the book except the Poland thing that was not right. However I do know that a lot of people who are kind of sick in the head all want to live to New Orleans. So that part was right on. I do think the ending was really lame we get a huge buildup and then all the sudden Bev and Jay Talley are gone and it was rushed. Way too rushed. All the other Kay novels have been great and most of us all really knew Benton never died. I do think Jean Babtise needs to be a goner new charachters. The Last Precinct could be a great new direction for new things with everyone together and new characters. I read this book in one sitting and the only reason it gets 2 stars and not more is because the ending blows.

My wife and I ordered so that we can stop buying expensive, pre-sliced lunch meat and cheese. It works better than I expected. the blade is sharp, it is easy to get thin cuts with the adjustable thickness knob, and clean-up is not that bad. A note on clean-up: We prefer to get all the cutting out of the way in one shot. Would not want to slice each day and have to clean each day.A great, solid little slicer!

if you want to feel inadequate, this is the book for you
|
I am an adoptive parent. I cannot speak to the experience of being adopted however I can tell you this: adoptive parents need encouragement and support not a book that communicates to them, between the lines and more blatantly (forgive me; I muddled through this book 10 years ago), that they are inadequate to the task of making their adopted child feel loved and accepted. A terrible, horrible book. I don't 'hate' because I feel it is a waste of energy but I do intensely dislike this book and I think it does a disservice to well-meaning adoptive parents who really, truly want what is best for their adopted child. Instead of memorializing loss, celebrate connection -- it's better for the whole family. Thanks for listening.

I don't know if this is the standard for this tripod, or just the seller I purchased from on Amazon! The camera attachment plate is missing, so there is NO way to attach the camera to the tripod - which kind of defeats the whole purpose. It is flimsy, and one of the clips did not secure the leg. Another plastic clip broke the second time I opened it!

Saponaceous Satiety

When Elsabedt Gruupenveldt (who, rather bizarrely, denominates herself as "LaChat") comes to collect, ain't no packer gonna keep her from doin it like it's just some kinda backdown. Not only did she NOT know how supplicatory the business is, she didn't even keep that thing down during the show, and now she's paying the price for it. Check out, for example, her matriculatory ballad "Dap Phat F*ck Bad" (track 26), which exhibits an ardumenially heuristic reciprocity so caustic in its solipsism that only a true hardcore could even hope to entreat its presumption. That's not a good road for poor Elsabedt. Let's all pray she gets a strong dose of the phiz before Slicey Dice comes back.

Excellent existential noir
|
I started reading this on the beach one Saturday afternoon. Good thing my kids know how to swim, because within an hour I wasn't looking up from the book.The originality of this detective novel shines around it like blue sometimes does PI Jimmy Miles, one of the undead who still has unfinished business to take care of on earth, although neither he nor his fellow "Sailors" know exactly what their unfinished business entails, nor precisely the rules of their unnatural existence. This existential angst, amplified by the prose style, adds noir on top of noir. And the LA setting is both literally and metaphorically perfect for Jimmy Miles's cruising in search of multiple answers, both internal to himself, and external to the decades-old murders he is asked to solve. The fact that no pat answers, even to the "who" of the who-dun-it part, are arrived at is part of this remarkable novel's appeal.

I ordered an HP PSC 750 multifunction printer from a Nick Ruparel in January. I wrote him several times to complain that it didn't work. It was rated as 'like new' and it looked like new but the indicator screen flashed "check color print cartridge'. I inserted a new color cartridge and got the same message. It printed from the top screen but did not acknowledge my computer. He answered none of my messages so I returned it. UPS said it was undeliverable and returned it to me.I am not only out the price of the printer and postage two ways but also the cost of the color ink cartridge I used to check it and they are quite expensive for this model.This printer was very poorly packed when it arrived.This was to be a replacement for the same model I had before so it wasn't that I didn't know how to use it or hook it up.

Charming slice of the simple life in Maine
|
In this memoir, Ogilvie humorously writes about her life on Gay's Island off the coast of Maine living in a house aptly called "Tide's Way" which she shared with her married friends Roy and Dot. The book starts out with their move from another island to Gay's Island, adventurously transporting their furniture by boat. She writes about boat trips to Port Clyde to get groceries; rowing trip excursions; attempts at building different "writer's studios" in the woods, and more. She also writes about their humorous and loveable pets that you won't forget - Blackie the sheep with "black felt ears"; Tristan and Soldi the cats; and Smokey and Susan, the dogs. Anyone who likes reading about a simple life connected to nature will enjoy this book. If you like this book, I recommend reading Gladys Taber's books and also Louise Dickinson Rich's works.

a tender boheme
|
this is a good version of la boheme. what sets it apart is the tenderness between rodolfo and mimi, especially in the garret and breakup scenes. the other highlight is swenson's musetta. she's flighty without being girlish like too many musetta's are. vaduva's is a sweet, delicate voiced mimi, just perfect for the role. the only negative is she has problems hitting her high notes. her voice isn't always steady, and she has a tendency to become shrill in the higher registers. alagna is a good rodolfo, but not in the class of bjorling and pavarotti.a worthy version of boheme. my favorite is still the beecham with de los angeles and bjorling in the lead roles. but this is one of the better modern versions.

Finally, the cure for insomnia!

This is one of the most b-o-r-i-n-g films I've ever watched. I had to force myself to stay awake. It consists mostly of one person's account of a war, with many flashbacks that ultimately turn out to be a meaningless movie. Don't be fooled by the Academy Award nominations, or other rave reviews: It just shows how out of touch many Hollywood insiders are with the viewing public.

Self-Serving Pat on the Back for Caring for her Mother

I hated this book because I felt it was self serving. The daughter was so effected with herself she would have never given up her career that way. She never would have given in to the guilt trip her father gave her. She would have told him to do it himself. She had an aggorance to her that I just couldn't stand. Then for her to be so lovey in the end,and so admiring of her mother, I thought it was phoney.

A disappointment

This book seems to have been hastily done, more or less, trading, if you will, on the success of ROSES ARE RED. At times, it seems to evidence a flavor of "a bit too fantastic" which detracts from the overall story. The solid plotting of JACK & JILL, and of KISS THE GIRLS is sadly lacking in this latest offering.

Reliability low
|
My unit (purchased from Amazon for $100 dollars) failed after 17 months (5 months longer than the warranty period). This is not an acceptable life for an electronic item. I expected the life would be more than 3 years. Clearly, Sony does not care about their customers. In recent years, a few of Sony components I purchased just seem to be low quality. Like a car, the main feature the consumers look for is reliability. Design features are important, but the consumers will eventually turn away from Sony products, if they can't meet or exceed life requirements. For my next purchase I am looking at non-Sony products now.

Izzard Rules!
|
Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest men alive. You have to buy these CDs. I could listen to them over & over. In Glorious, he divides his act into Old Testament and New Testament, discussing both parts of the Bible, while rambling about the Trojan War, Prince Philip, taxidermists, beekeepers, showers, computers, and vacuum cleaners in between. He even has a whole routine about toasters, and it's funny!On Dress To Kill, he's in San Francisco, bringing his humour to American audiences. This show is more politically based, where he talks about World War II, Church of England, The United Nations, the NRA, etc. He also does a 9 minute routine of his interpretation of the 1963 film The Great Escape, and it's wonderful.Buy this album, it's fantastic! Viva Eddie!

A slow but intriguing book with alot of thought
|
Althought the book started slow, the concept and whole plot was very well tought out. It had good chapters towards the end when the plot gets moving and more characters are added. Overall it was a great book that I would reccommend to anyone who likes books that you think about.

One of the best quantum books around
|
This is definitely my favorite quantum mechanics book. It's clear, concise, and Schiff has an uncanny way of making an entire difficult concept clear in only 1-2 sentences. I've sometimes spent hours struggling over a topic in another book, and then opened Schiff and been amazed to have all my confusion cleared up in a single sentence. In my opinion, the strongest part of this book is not so much in explaining *how* do to something (most decent books cover this -- it's mostly just math, anyway), but is in allowing one to see the logic behind everything that's going on.

Best Iron on earth
|
I ordered this iron after using my mother's. My sister also bought this iron after one use of it. It heats up quickly and irons out even the toughest wrinkles. The steam button is my favorite feature and it can blast through a stack of laundry on no time. The cord is also nice and long allowing for great freedom of movement. I have seen this iron for sale at stores for much, much more money, so I also feel like I got the best price. Seriously...if you are in the market for a new iron...look no further.

No ENGLISH closed captions for the hearing impaired
|
Mr. Iger of Walt Disney World Companies (miramax).There are many movies we would liked to have seen but, they do not have ENGLISH CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED as part of the menu set up. Why is it that a movie being distributed in the United States of America has spanish or some other language for subtitles in the menu set up? The PRIMARY language in America is ENGLISH. As we are hearing impaired and must have ENGLISH closed captions in the menu set up. I guess we will miss a lot of the movies produced by your companies.Without ENGLISH CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED as part of the movie menu set up, we will not be able to purchase particular movies of interest. The one of most recent interest was The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. You lost a sale on this one and I am sure as well as others in the future.

Aesthetically pleasing, but....

It broke after two uses. I was very disappointed. The foil cutter doesn't really do it's job either which may have helped lead to the early demise of the corkscrew.

Clancy doesn't cut it with this overblown, politically motivated book. Check out Andy McNabb's, Bob Mayer's or even Dick Marcinko's books. Or James Webb's classics.

Screen Whine from new Palm TX
|
I am so disappointed. Just bought a new Palm TX after during more than a year of bad service and screaming noise from Palm TE. I thought that the Palm would have resolved the screen whine problem by now. But in less than 10 hours, my brand new Palm TX is screaming at me again. And I am so ashamed to write this, being aware of this problem of previous Palms but still falling into the trap of trusting the company too much. I hope that Palm would try to solve this once and for all, and reward its fans with a decently built PDA. Currently, at least I could get my full refund when I returned it to the shop the next day (in Singapore). Am now using my good 'ol Palm M515.

Doesn't get the job done
|
Here's my experience with Norton: It finds a virus, but is often unable to delete it or quarantine it. That makes the product useless to me. I was able to download free antivirus software over the web (AVG) which was able to quickly find viruses, spyware, etc. and ZAP them. Skip Norton.

It's Frank, baby!

Oh, what is there to say about a greatest hits type of album...."it's very good and has his best work." Well, yea! It's got everything. The CD is set up in chronological order from The Last Dance from 1960 to the Theme from New York, New York from 1979. In between is Luck be a Lady, Summer Wind, my personal favorite, Fly Me to the Moon, and many, many more....20 songs in all. Pretty good compilation for a starting out Sinatra fan like myself. Got myself in a Rat Pack mode and thought this would be perfect and it definitely is!!

season 2
|
I did manage to get two copies (one for a friend) I had to return one, disks four and six could not even be recognized by the DVD player. I got another one just in time from Best Buy. Now I am having the same problem with disk 4 only. Both sets work fine on my friends standalone DVD player. Disk 4 will not work on my computer's DVD player, but to be fair my DVD player is a cheap piece of garbage (a Cendyne, don't bother, also with WinDVD a horrible, problematic piece of garbage software). Who knows if this rumour about the contractural dispute with band the Garbage is true (thanks guys, if you losers screwed this up for us Nikita fans, won't be buying any of your music any time soon). Anyway Five stars for season two of Nikita itself (and hell, for the whole series really) and Zero stars for Warners mucking things up (you expect a huge corporation of this kind to do anything else? Hell, you should see the cheap releases of older movies they squeeze out). Good luck.

This is an excellent mixer and an amazing price.
|
I like too bake, particularly cookies and cakes. I bought this mixer because our old Sunbeam was showing its age and Vacation Bible School was coming up. Kids require lots of cckies, you know. I was not at all disappointed in this mixer. It does its job very well. I did buy the pour shield from an Amazon vendor however. I would advise anyone buying this mixer to get the pour shield. It makes the mixer so much more versatile. Just make sure to get the right one.Being "referbished" means nothing. My mixer was indistinguishable from a new one when I got it. All I lost by buying referbished was a high price!

Good info but....
|
This book is extraordinarily frustrating. Dondis has so much good information--but it's obscured by what I find to be very poor writing. I found her sentence structure difficult to apprehend, and she's way wordy. Add to that the type face used--all sans serif! There's a reason that almost all books are printed in serif typefaces--and it's not tradition, it's ease of use. How bizarre that a book that is meant to clarify and explicate the use of visual media would employ a user unfriendly font.I've tried to read this book twice, and even have used ideas that I found in that space while teaching a class on art appreciation. I SOOO wish that someone would take the info, rewrite it with sentences that actually flow, and lay it out in a readable font. Anyone up for that? In unleashing some really wonderfully illuminating information, you'd be doing the world much good.

Cd of the year!!!!

I like how their intro starts off without music...they sound so good...then it's followed by some really great songs...they have a combination of songs that make you wanna get up and dance to it..they have songs that you just wanna sit around and sing along with and songs that you just wanna stay quiet and listen to it because it sounds too good...They put alot of work into it and I recommend that you get it..I don't see why not..even my male freinds talk about it and love the beats to some of the songs!! :)I would of never expected that..but I'm happy they like it and support them...

Kayla Perrin is a prolific writer who always delivers. In this subjective marketplace she deals with issues that all of us can easily identify with. Her writing is engaging and entertaining. So do yourself a favor and take Tanya up on her offer to send you the book for free, she obviously has more money than brains.

Twice as good in Blu-ray!

This movie was great in theaters. Having it on Blu-ray is incredible. There were so many details I missed the first time around. With an ample amount of epic action scenes, Blu-ray is the only way to experience this movie.

O.K Nothing great

I was hoping this CD would be like A place in the Sun by Lit. The tunes were catchy but too slow for my taste. #2 Freak of the Week was the best song on the CD. Your so yesterday was alright. If you want some real rock 'n' roll go for Lit or Blink 182

Back when I was in University in the 80s, I thought Salman Rushdie was the Business. I used to parade around with my "Free Salman Rushdie" button, all political and hip. I was really looking forward to reading this book, and was disappointed. Yes, he's clever; Yes, he's of the moment; Yes, he's satirical ... but so what? I was not gripped, held, pulled into this tale. In fact, quite the opposite - I put this book down 1/3 of the way through. NEXT.

Superb!
|
This is a stunning piece of scholarship, essential reading for anyone who seeks an understanding of these late-medieval queens. Laynesmith's research is extensive, and she writes in an engaging manner, proving that academic history can also be accessible history. Other historians I know rate this book very highly. I eagerly await a biography based on the author's PhD. thesis on Cecily Neville.

A Self-Indulgent Waste of the Reader's Time
|
Well, you've got to read this one to get to the next one but it's not pleasant. It seems like about 80% of this book is devoted to mind-numbingly boring discussions, by people sitting in castles, of how some people are related to other people. This was probably necessary in the author's mind, to keep everything straight, but it is just torture for the average reader. Just get on with it already. Almost nothing happens in the first 600+ pages. Finally, in the final 100 pages or so, the plot moves along with some significant developments and, we hope, this will lead to some action in the next volume. We hope.

Dude, this album comes right out of the gate and blows a vanna! But it makes up for it by the end, and just when you think these guys almost zonked, the whole thing comes together.

Tough Sander Gets the Job Done!

The best finishing sander I've owned. Through B&D, Milwaukee, Makita, Craftsman etc. over the years this is the best balanced finishing sander I've owned. Stout impact resistant exterior with easy to clean and service access. Powerful sanding motion with low vibration. Moderate noise levels. Finish results are predictable and repeatable.

Satisfied Customer
|
I purchased this product to be able to bring work home. Although it is something I shouldn't do because home time should not be spent working. I am satisfied and pleased with the product. I am able to save my files and work on them at work, at home or on any computer because the flash drive is attached to my key ring. This drive is small and discrete and since it is with my keyring, I take it wherever I go. It also holds music files, so when I am working on my files I can listen to some of my favorite tunes.

Do not waste your money
|
This movie might have been good in its original format. The DVD I received was anything but in the original form. In the opening scenes, the words "In stereo where available" appears. Just like any movie does when it is broadcast over the TV. It only got worse. The transfer was not good at all. The dialogue was at times undecipherable.I can not commit to the content of the movie because of the hacket job done to the movie. Every violent or explicit scene was edited out. This made the sequence of events difficult to follow so that the ending made absolutely no sense.I would like to see this movie unedited, it might have made some sense.

Sure, the jingles are a little corny, but the repitition and presentation make it very easy to learn the basic words and phrases to get started with Spanish. I'd highly recommend it for any commuter wanting something more than to just pass the time.

I don't get this CD... and I won't because I already have it!. There's no new song here, it's just ANOTHER compilation of Our Lady's songs. I have had enough of this. Please, Donna, stop this kind of things and give us the music of your show, Ordinary Girl. We want to hear your voice again, telling us about your life that is part of ours, too.
