0	Not Happy	I ordered this product with detailed assistance with a rep from the company. I had tried to order a similar product from another company with no luck so consequently I was very specific with what my needs were and specified exactly what I needed. The sales person Diana guarranteed me this product would be OK. Got the headphones and they were incompatible with my system, again. Diana told me I should now contact the manufacturer if I had a problem. Product was returned by me to guarrantee my refund. Very unhappy. Would never recommend dealing with this company. Very unhappy.	negative
1	At our house, it's call The Donut	We have two cats. They take turns over who gets to meatloaf out on top of this. Sparta, our older cat, loves using this for his morning stretches, and both he and Mopsy, the younger cat, will spaz out chasing the ball around the ring. They haven't yet succeeded in getting the ball out of the ring, despite their best efforts. I wrote this review in response to the fact that I'm ordering a cardboard refill. The original one has been shredded into lint, after about six months.	positive
0	Please don't believe the hype; total waste of time and insult to intelligence	Although I, like another reviewer here mentions, rely heavily on Amazon reviewers to guide me in my decision-making over mainly which movies to watch, reviews like the majority of ones presented here make me very skeptical about how much I should continue doing so. Actually, I've started selecting the lowest ratings to look at first because I'm finding in many cases those are actually more in harmony with my thoughts after seeing a movie. And this is definitely one of those cases. The Amazon review as well as the far too few negative reviews presented here reflect totally my feelings about this movie, so I will not add more except to direct you to those.	negative
1	Lee plays the good guy!	This has to be one of the finest of the Hammer collection. Lee is piercing in his role as the Duc De Richelieu. There are occultists galore and it's up to Lee and his pal to save the son of a friend and his lover from the eternal grip of the creepiest villan Hammer studios ever unleashed. You must see this movie in widescreen! The visual created by director Terrence Fisher, of the English countryside, will give you a warm fuzzy until the final clash between good and evil.	positive
0	Not Happy	The HD version would not play on my HD player. Had to return the item. There was no warning at the time of purchase that the product was restricted to certain players.	negative
0	Six years wasted!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!	The writers/producers/directors really need to be horse-whipped. They milked us for 5 years with suspense to keep their ratings up while making us believe all would be answered ... only to have the Sixth Season fall into a meaningless black hole. They should feel as disgraced as they actually are. Shame on them.For those who haven't already wasted their money buying this final season: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!	negative
0	not what it seems	My 6 year old son wanted the chocolate fountain as soon as he saw the advertisement on television....not knowing it uses chocolate syrup instead of real chocolate. He used it once and has not asked to use it again. As for me, the cleanup was no picnic either. It has to be disassembled for cleanup and chocolate syrup goes into nooks and crannies not submergible in water....I was not impressed!	negative
0	HOLD -ON !!!!!!!	WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS BOOK I WAS LIKE WHAT THE F*** BUT AFTER READING A LITTLE BIT OF IT I COULD NOT TEAR MYSELF AWAY FROM IT THIS WAS SOMETHING TO WIND DOWN TO IT KEPT ME WANTING TO READ MORE AND MORE EXCITING ALL THE WAY THROUGH I LOVED IT AND RECOMMEND ALL OF ZANE'S BOOKS TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS	negative
0	Nice people who can't sing	I'm sure this group was lots of fun at parties and very pleasant conversationalists. However, they can't sing a note and can barely play their instruments. One of the worst records ever made, worse than Soft Machine, and that's saying something.	negative
1	Wonderful, readable, and insightful	This book is a wonderful and readable review of monastic life. As a "normal" person (not a monastic) my assumption is that monastic life is overwhelmingly complicated and difficult to life. This book does a wonderful job of explaining the ideas behind monastic life in an easy way that is not the least bit overwhelming. This book includes much spirituality that I enjoyed thinking about and comparing to my own spirituality. If you are interested in religious studies, you'll really enjoy this book.	positive
0	This is not the Tao Te Ching	Sweetly written. Purely subjective, PERSONAL, POLITICIZED, interpretation of a revered, and ancient work of wisdom. If you know nothing of Taoism, you'll like this. If you wish to hear the voices of the ancient Chinese masters, you won't find them here.	negative
1	Retta's review	Great continuation of the series. Discovering more about these special agents that are genetically altered and the government agency that controls them	positive
0	Not as expected.	I have eaten restaurant quality bisque and this is not it. You can see the bits of minced crab, but the batch I received had no flavor. I added spices and a generous splash of half and half which improved it somewhat. I canceled my subscribe and save subscription. I also read the reviews for their other products and seems one either loves them or doesn't. Ending on a positive note, their label is made w/ certified green paper and vegetable inks and the cans are made from recycled steel which I thought was impressive.	negative
0	Sister Re` should stick to the pop music genre.	There is no bigger Aretha fan than I. I have almost all of her albums on vinyl or cd. As a classically trained vocalist myself I feel the the Queen butchered the great "Nessun Dorma". She is a pop vocalist, not an opera singer. Nessun Dorma is an amazing Aria but this "R&B" interpretation by the Queen of soul is enough to make any classical singer cringe. The first two tracks are good however.	negative
0	Pleasant Enough	I seem not to be the only one to have bought this via the Brad Mehldau route. Strange connection. This is pleasant enough but no way as intelligent and 'layered' as the jazz sound I was hoping for. Anyone who adored Vini Reilly in the early 80s should pounce on this as a retro novelty. Some tracks hit the nail others 'When I fall in Love' are woeful. A very very hollow sound. As a Brad companion-piece Mark Turner is much more in keeping. Still, Frisell adds to the musical education process.	negative
0	Not worth your money.	I bought this DVD because I thought that MTV could put together a fun and exilarating workout video. But the moves are complicated/awkward and they are hard to follow. They don't give you much time to figure them out. And, you are always doing the reverse of everyone. One thing that was aggrevating was when they change a scene, you are expected to keep moving, but the music changes or dissapears for a few seconds. And sometimes, people in the video move offbeat. The editing is horrible. The camera doesn't stay focused on one "good" person. The guest is flimsy and can't do the moves accurately. She doesn't even look like she's trying. Overall it's a horrible DVD. Don't waste your money.	negative
0	Junk, stay far away!	I received this as a gift, and I've been needing one desperately as I have a number of card games with over 200 cards each. The first time I used it, the right side stuck, so I'd have to feed them through. Then the ribbed plastic thing wouldn't work to depress the switch (it kept slipping). I've had to use my fingers to push the lever down to shuffle and, guess what, it snapped in half. And I've had it exactly 2 weeks. I'm sending it back, and the worst part is that I had to tell the friend who bought it for me. I'm getting a different one.	negative
1	Delirious Madcap Adventure!	If you're a fan of the Monty Python Show, this is one movie you must not miss. Sociopathic, insane, oddball humor surround it's adventure plot. Hoo boy, you have to watch it to understand...this movie left me devestated in laughter, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys movies that lacks sanity.Nee! END	positive
1	A pleasing eye-opener	Thieme is one of the big thinkers, a fascinating man, and a great storyteller. He'll make you wonder, think, and discuss -- but written in a readable, enjoyable style that keeps you going.	positive
1	Yes is getting closer to their roots	I have the DVD-Audio and it sounds fantastic. I really haven't heard anything from Yes this good since Drama. I would like to hear the regular CD to see if it stands up as well.Very effective use of 5.1 channel surround. The songs written with Larry Groupe are my favorites and sound the most like classic Yes to me. I was pleasently surprised with this album.	positive
0	DON"T BUY IT!	Buy 'Baby Bargins' instead!!!! I looked at this book at Barnes and Nobel, but didn't buy it. Only a few products were reviewed.....and the reviews weren't very good. Also, only a few categories were reviewed. The baby bargins book has detailed reviews on all brands in several categories.	negative
0	Interesting Concept But...	Poorly written...redundant...not fully developed. I'm always wary of "experts" that utilize dumbing-down as a means for enlightenment. A few bright spots; personas, prototypes vs product, schemas... I particularly enjoyed the chocolate bribery papagraph [Chimey Ale works better]. Check it out and skim-it from the library--Not worth owning.	negative
0	Software not compatible with Vista	I was more than excited to get started stomping out CD/DVD labels, as I had used this software on my old XP machine (and, while awkward to use, it worked great). However, while it seemed to install fine in Vista, nothing would print. The calibration page actually made a piece of paper feed through, but nothing printed on it. Any other attempts would show a brief flash of something sent to the print spooler, but nothing else. I tried XP compatibility mode, running as administrator... nothing. Printing from other applications works just fine, so it's not my printer or my driver. I ended up using bundled software that came with my CD burner. But hey, the labels themselves are great, and the little plastic stompy-thing is wonderful to perfectly apply the labels every time. If you're purchasing it simply for the physical product, it's more than worth your money.	negative
1	Geddy's headache	For half the (bassists) universe, Geddy Lee is a sort of living legend or maybe more.It's hard to imagine the plethora of young bassists that have received some Geddy's influence in playing style and creativity lessons.IMHO, he's one of the best and the disc is great.And you will notice the absence of the two others :)	positive
1	The making of the atomic bomb	Excelent...Particularly the review of Physics developments during the first half of the XXth century, in the first part of the book, is superb.	positive
0	AWFUL!!! FALSE DESCRIPTION! AVOID!	This was a rude, unsatisfying waste of time and moneyThe customer service workers were very nice, the owner was RUDE	negative
1	Absolutely	Wish I had bought this about 100 years ago. Better than expected or imagined. Wll worth the expense......Get it now ans save money at the Dentist office	positive
1	Decent Grill	I really like this for jobs that won't fit in a cast-iron "frying" pan, so I don't have to make things in stages. But, like most cast-iron, you're going to need to season it to make it non-stick. I don't care what the description says above - this grill and all other cast-iron needs work to make it get that sheen and nice non-stick finish. I made chapatis first and it worked well, but I could see that this was going to take some uses (maybe 10 or so, with washing afterwards with hot water and steel wool, drying right away, and oiling all over) to be useful for pancakes and other items. I made tempeh today, and it came out great.The downside, besides the expected work with seasoning, is putting the item away. It's fairly large; I simply put it on its side, wrapped in parchment paper (to catch excess oil and not scratch my white cabinets), and put it in the cabinet.	positive
1	you don't want to miss out	This book is a very good and surprising book. I like it because closer to the end of the book it gets really scary because you dont know whats going to happen next. Mary Downing Hahn is an amazing author!!! In my opinion this was my favorite book because of many reasons but I dont want to give away anything to anybody who didnt readit. But one things for sure youll definetly be surprised!!!!!	positive
0	Anemic sharpener	I must agree with the discenting opinions. I found this machine to be terribly anemic. It's looks good in an office. However, a nice coffee cup looks good in an office. This machine struggled to sharpen #2 pencils! When complete, the sharpening was off quite a bit. Another reviewer is correct, electric sharpeners of yesterday could consume a pencil in short-order. This one is embarrassing. I suggest using this one at the department of vehicle licenses. It would be quite at home there, slow and inefficient. Pass on this thing.	negative
0	Look At Me	It's okay ... if you like that sort of thing. Too long, too many words on a page, too much of a disconnected 80's vibe. Tediously boring paragraphs that go on and on and on about nothing much. Also, pretty hard to follow/comprehend what is happening in the story. The novel did have some shining moments, but they were few and far between. I couldn't wait for it to end.	negative
1	Sweet Album	I'm not a huge fan of the Seattle school although I do think Soundgarden and these guys did something right. Lanegan's baritone and the crisp guitar licks complement each other well. Seriously, its an interesting sound which isn't really characteric of anyone else I've heard. The songwriting is triumphantly gloomy and very atmospheric. This album kind of lacks a focal point however, and for that reason I can't give it 5 stars. Its also the reason why this album didn't take off when it came out.	positive
0	a waste of money	Save your money. This toy never worked from day 1. The microphone worked but the CD player didn't. We sent it back and a new one came and that one also wouldn't play a CD. I'm surprised the quality control is so poor. Apparently others agree with me. I should have read all the reviews first!	negative
1	Best Gift	I purchased this item for my niece who is a complete skull/crossbone fanatic. She absolutely loved it! Partuclarly due to the weight of the buckle. She's never seen anything like this before.I have now printed out every skull/crossbone belt buckle for this site. From now on, my neice wil be receiving them as gifts.Thnx CoolStuff!!!!	positive
0	Disappointed	I bought this phone because of the range and speaker phone feature. I immediately found that the phone kept displaying "line 2" active when there was only one line to the phone. The battery in the handset died after only two months and a replacement never charged. When I returned it to the manufacturer via instructions I received a factory-reconditioned older phone with only 900 mhz in return with no other explanation. I will never buy a UNIDEN phone again.	negative
0	GMC Denali Road Bike	The bike came (of course to mount) BUT with a missing piece and I had to go buy it!Don't buy this bike online	negative
0	Book to Read once	this book is a great book if u really luv histroy. In my opinion, it gets a bit confusing with all the excerpts, but gives a good idea of the american revolution.	negative
1	This is it!	I have read at least a dozen books on how to get organized, at work or in general. As a professional with a private office, I have found this book the most helpful, inspirational, and practical among those. The language is neither condescending nor folksy; the principles are clearly stated and summarized; and all advice is eminently applicable. Now I have all my office files in half a drawer and I can produce any document within seconds. The author does not require you to clean up your office in one day: you are allowed to start from today's paper piles and work backwards as needed. We procrastinators are now officially out of excuses.	positive
1	Wonderous!	It takes a bit to get used to the style and format but, it really a remarkable piece. Really really enjoyed it. Read it before the movie though...which was also good, not the same but good.	positive
1	Deluxe size, high quality beautiful stainless steel pan	This pan is truly high quality. It is solid with thick handles, a strong rack and built like a tank. It is also tanksized however. Be sure to consider how much lasagne will actually fit in this pan. Perfect for families and large roasts. It took a long time to arrive, but it certainly seems to be worth it.	positive
1	Classic!!!	This CD brings you back to the days before Cheschire Cat ot learn where Blink 182 started and grew from! A must have if you like Blink 182's new one or have any inkling into new wave Punk Rock.	positive
1	Fabulous, as always..	This book for South Africa is just as fabulous as the ones we have used for Istanbul, Paris and other cities. I borrowed it from the library and liked it so much I bought it!	positive
0	don't buy this delonghi retro oven	This is my second delonghi oven. The first was awful but I wanted to give the company one more chance. Big mistake. At about a year, like some other people who wrote a review, the timer button broke. I had it repaired and now six months after that it just died completely yesterday. What an awful product that this company gets away with selling.	negative
1	pure brutallity	mortician is great. how could anyone give it anything other than a 5star rating. will and roger tear it p again. this is the best bloodies recording ever	positive
1	Extraordinary!	fragile innocence is a beautiful memoir. hillary's story is as touching as it is exquisitely written.i read fragile innocence last weekend & couldn't put it down. i crawled into bed with the book on friday evening. at 1 am, i forced myself to go to sleep. and i stayed in bed reading `til 11 the next morning. i can't remember the last time i did that. i've been thinking about hillary and the entire reston clan ever since.	positive
1	Not too shabby	I think this camera takes great, clear pictures, and its really easy to download them on to your computer. It is pretty easy to use, although all of the different settings can be kind of confusing, even after reading the manual a few times.My critiques of this camera are:1. It eats through AA batteries really fast. Would be a good idea to use rechargeables and always have fresh batteries on hand.2. The memory card it comes with does not hold many pictures. Plan on buying a bigger memory card.Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this purchase.	positive
0	Standard Keith Sweat	On his Rebirth CD released in 2002 Keith Sweat was a comeback, however because he's been putting out records consistently since the late '80s, and it's not really a creative reawakening since he hasn't changed anything about his game. In the end, Rebirth is really just another Keith Sweat album with promisng ballads. One would have thought that Mr. Sweat would linked up with some new young talent at the time to give him a fresh sound, espically on the up-tempo but the ballads are really the only thing that save this CD. The first single One on One is very good as is Wonderful Thang, but everything is kind of by the numbers.	negative
1	Archetypes	What a timeless film. As a child you're taught shame and fear. You allow them to be your limiters until one day you wake up, face the worst in yourself and choose freedom. Of course life isn't that straightforward but that's the essence of what I take away from "Cuckoo's Nest". Once your authentic self is awakened you can't choose another's definition of yourself anymore though. It's hard not to relate this 1975 movie to Hitler's Germany, or shoot, even things that are happening in 2010.Director Milos Foreman put together an excellent ensemble cast of archetypes with Nurse Rached representing the status quo, McMurphy the rebel, and Chief the voiceless Everyman. All the other patients and warders serve as the Greek Chorus.	positive
0	What about men possessing men?	One would think from this tirade that all pornography is heterosexual. But of course there exists a lot of male homosexual pornography. This would never involve possessing or abusing women, since there are no women in homosexual pornography. I suspect that all of these feminist arguments against pornography are really based on traditional Judaeo-Christian puritanism and prudery. There is also the little matter of the demonization of males, of masculinity, and of heterosexuality.	negative
0	I don't see how any adult could read this dreck	Someone who raved about this "book" pressed it on me, as a voracious and wide-ranging reader. I opened it, read a couple of pages, and returned it as soon as possible. That doesn't qualify me to review the book as a whole, but there is one thing I can say to a certainty: this is the worst writing that I have ever encountered in something that was actually published. And it doesn't even have that so-bad-it's-good quality that could get you some laughs. It is awful and another step down the dumb ladder.	negative
0	It was not the same as the original movie.	The songs in this version were diffrenet then the original version. This made it less enjoyable, because I would remember the original movie. Why did they change it?	negative
0	OH, JOY OF JOYS! THIS IS SUPER! :-D :-D :-D	Hi everybody! Oh boy, what a crazy year I had! My daycare in Pennsylvania (!!!) got bulldozed to put up a strip mall, and now I am in the process of starting up a NEW one! :-D I still gots Corey, Sethy and Tony!

I mean Amazon would never delete my reviews... right? HAVE A JOYOUS DAY!!! Love Mervie	negative
0	had potential.... WAY TOO irritating, boring and ...	repetitive! Some bad reviews make you wonder if the person bothered to learn the game enough to enjoy it... or if they know how to play these games... Well I have played Gex for several unfortunate hours.... I've completed many more challenging games, and this is the WORST (also the only game I never bothered to finish)Crash Bandicoot... ape Escape, Oddworld series are all challenging excellent games... save your money on Gex to buy them!	negative
0	The Salt and Pepper Shakers"The Confident Collector"	I am rather disappointed. Of the fifty salt and pepper shakers, I have, I could only find seven. I also felt the values were a lot lower then I found in other books that I have. Even though there are a lot of salt and pepper shakers mentioned, I feel there could be more description and more photos.	negative
0	Not brute tough, not even wife tough!!	I have owned this drill for less than a year in a home use setting. My wife was using it to hang pictures in a plaster wall when it "stripped out", i. e. the motor was turning but not the chuck. I purchased this drill because it sounded like the components were not likely to fail in a light duty application. Oh well...	negative
0	Reads like a Harlequin Romance	I first read 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and was enthralled from cover to cover. However, this book is juvenile and romantic fluff in comparison. I will try again with this author but do not recommend this book.	negative
0	Quickly breaks down	After about 6 trips with the transom pad, it began to rip and tear. The pad is thin to start with at only about 1/4 an inch of rubber.	negative
0	I paid for 2 day shipping - Amazon split the order and I am missing ....	I paid for 2 day shipping - Amazon split the order and I am missing 1 of 4 - late!This is costing me $59/day for a rental car as the item is the oxygen sensor to my Mercedes. Boach recommended I order them direct from Amazon. I didn't know they could split the order and delay items.:-(	negative
1	bought it as s gift	This was a great gift. The price was great and the u.k. version is much better than the U.S. version	positive
1	Constant Cash Flow - Thanks Wade!	I have been using Wade Cook's rolling stock and covered call strategies for quite some time and have been generating constant cash flow. Using the advice espoused by Wade in this new and incredible book, I have been able to avoid the really bad stocks and select winners.I have also been following Wade's advice in Real Estate Money Machine to create real wealth in real estate. Also recommend Nothing Down for the 2000's by Robert Allen who I understand also endorses Wade.	positive
1	Little River Band	Great Music! Little River Band is a great group and a great add to my music collection. Have been looking for it	positive
1	Trying to keep the cat awake in the daytime	Well, this video helps to keep our cat awake for a little while during the day (so he'll sleep more at night), but it is short lived. He's only interested in it for short times, say 10 minutes. If I don't show it for a couple of days and then start it again, he's interested for another 10 minutes or so. It is fun to see him curl up in his bed and watch the TV and he does, sometimes, dust the TV screen for me. His favorite is the pigeons, right up by the screen. Mouse squeaks would be appreciated, as would squirrel sounds.	positive
0	Trys to be everything for everyone	I have over six years experience in SGML and wanted to find a book that would get me quickly to the nuts and bolts of XML. Aftyer reading the reviews here (yep I know, fatal mistake sometimes) I purchased this book and am disapointed. Too many ingredients in the soup I'm afraid. If you want a fat book that looks impressive on your shelf take mine. This book is trying to be an everything reference and fails.	negative
1	Fireworks, moonlight	My husband bought this for me the year Colorado had a terrible drought and we couldn't have fireworks. The splashing water lit by the LEDs looks like fire. The fountain is pretty small(about the size of a paperback book) and flimsy, but it works well. The lights also remind me of moonlight shimmering on the ocean.	positive
0	Definitely a NO-NO for me...	I have done several prenatal classes prior to using this video. I enjoyed the classes a lot and they made me feel so good, so I want to do them at home (because it's cheaper and I can do them everyday).I tried this video, and the first time I used it, I felt slightly dizzy. The second time - I actually threw up. All that constant moving of the head makes one nauseous specially if you're pregnant. I'm already in my fourth month and I haven't had morning sickness, and since I'm in my second trimester, I don't expect to, but the movements in the video gave it to me. Also the poses are not so helpful; it's all constant moving and chanting, which is not really what I was looking for. I will try the other video which are better rated and hope that it will give me a more similar experience I had with my actual pre-natal classes.	negative
1	One of his best	This was an absorbing story, with some ironic twists and one of his best evil antagonists.	positive
0	Not for beginners	This book has an audience but I can't figure out who it may be. It certainly is not for beginners. It does a poor job of beginning with and building upon the basics... the KEY to learning and understanding any new language.I bought this book prior to buying several others on Excel programming, the glaring weaknesses in this book are exposed in a comparison to its brethren.Oh, and the pictures are too small.Skip this book, buy Albright's or Walkenbach's instead.JB	negative
0	What happened to Dido?	My God, what happened to Dido? I love No Angel to death but I can't bear listening to this CD. Gone are the mesmerizing rhythms found in Don't Think of Me and I'm No Angel. Every song on here is the exact same. It's as if she's speaking with some (entirely too heavy) background beats humming along. There are no ups and downs to her voice. If it wasn't for the fact that words are spoken at different speeds, you can imagine her chanting the lyrics. I can't believe this is Dido has to offer after these years. Hopefully her next album is better. I will be waiting.	negative
1	Good overview of Miracles' output between 1960 and 1967,	A wonderful import album for the Motown Fan. This collection does give you different tracks than that of the also wonderful 35th anniversary box set. This disc features the ballad "Would I Love You" from 1964 which was left off the box set. Other cuts like "If You Mother Only Knew" and "Such Is Love, Such Is Life" give the listener a chance to experience the maturation of Smokey as a songwriter and singer. Recommended for the Motown fan like myself.	positive
0	ALL HYPE!	I was very skeptical about paying so much for a moisturizer but very desperate for a "good miraculous" moisturizer, so after reading all the reviews, i went ahead and payed the hefty $150. I am very disappointed to say that its very average, over-rated and very over-priced. Its so greasy, thick and sticky that i can only use it at night. I received a sample of the mositurizing lotion (same jar but reads "moisturizing lotion" instead of the cream) with my order and that one i do love because its very light and soft but its even pricier than the cream.	negative
0	Dreadful	This plant was in awful condition when it arrived. The plant was dry and the leaves brown and almost dead. As it was a gift this was very dissapointing, as even though the family member it was bought for is an experienced gardner they were unable to revive the plant and it died. Waste of money.	negative
1	Very Funny	This movie was funnier than the previews made it look. Very adult based material, don't watch with young children. Great movie!	positive
0	Amateur production	Gosh, where to start? The casting was so-so, the acting was dire, the sets were appalling... Although Annette Bening did well and so did Colin Firth, you could not really see how evil they were - especially Colin Firth who just seemed like a bit of an oaf (did he wear false teeth for this movie?) He had on this really idiotic smile half the time - rather than the scheming smile we should expect from Valmont. Meg Tilly acted as if she was reading straight from an autocue. And Danceny! Eugh.For some reason, France was made to seem like a perpetual carnival as well. What was it with the street scenes?Just don't even bother. If you want to see Dangerous Liaisons, go see the one with Malkovich and Close. You can definitely feel the underlying current of emotions throughout the entire film.	negative
0	A work of fiction based on factual people	I live in the area where all the Blalock's called home (Keith Blalock) is buried about 4 miles from my home). After purchasing and reading the book, I tried to locate some of the sources listed in the bibliography that were supposedly housed at Appalachain State Library in Boone, NC. These sources DO NOT EXIST according to the head of the NC room at the library. As a historical book, its "facts" are fictional. As a fiction book, it does provide interesting reading.	negative
1	Excellent, well written for the novice and expert alike	After reading an article in the local paper about the history of the Bly Oregon incident where a family was killed by one of these bombs, I did a search on the internet for more information. I was referred to this book by several newsgroups. After opening this book, I read it cover to cover in one sitting. If you are not enthralled by the Japanese effort into these balloon bombs, you soon will be. This book is an excellent record of this little known part of our nations history.	positive
1	I purchased three bars. Seems to be a good product. However, one of them probably needs to go back. The bottom suction cop Is	I purchased three of these safety bars.

0	Let the Buyer Beware	I should say that I bought the boxed set for seasons 1-4 and I bought season five separately, but if the producer is the same for this newest box set, you'd be better off buying the set at a store with a generous return policy.When I got my set, I was thrilled. Then, as I played through each season, I started to see skipped scenes and freezing and episodes starting in the middle instead of at the beginning. In two cases, I didn't get to see the resolution of the cases at all.Because it takes so long to watch all the episodes, by the time I realized there was a problem it was too late to return the set. I notice that the set I bought is no longer being produced; I assume that the manufactor is simply making seasons 1-5 instead.To pay $100.00 for defective disks is unconscionable. I love the show but certainly wouldn't recommend this set to anyone.	negative
1	Grill skillet	This is a great item to stir fry of vegetables or shrimp over the grill. I love the detachable handle which makes it easy to take the skillet off and on when using on the grill. The pan cleans up easily.	positive
1	Big enough for a dad	The other reviews I read about this bag made me hesitate to buy it because a lot of them said the bag was not big enough. But I went ahead and got one anyway and honestly, if the bag were any bigger - it would not comfortably fit on a grown human being. The style of the bag (as a messenger bag cut) would not work. It would be too bulky.It may not have all the space that a super-huge diaper bag may have but it's got enough space for what you'll need. And most men I know only carry their wallet, cell phone, and keys with them. All that fits in here with the baby stuff. For a woman, a lot of us have lots more in our purses that must be combined with the baby stuff in the diaper bag (hence the need for a larger bag) - unless you plan on carrying two bags and baby.This bag is perfect for dads.	positive
0	Leaked on 2nd use	On the 1st run, this heater performed well. I like the idea of a slow steady heat source that lasts after you turn it off. Heated my 12 x 17 room with no problems.On the 2nd run, it leaked oil all over my carpet 10 minutes into heating. Dripping right from the bottom on the end opposite the controls. I unplugged it and moved it onto the linoleum and is currently still leaking as I type this.I like the idea of this heater but I didn't pay $69.99 at BB&B; for a !@*$@!!! idea.Will I try it again? Depends on the defect rate. Maybe there's another radiator brand out there.	negative

1	Burned Alive Book	Great book but so incredibly sad. The monsters in this world are walking around for sure and are not figments of our imagination.

1	love those titans	I'm not sure where the Titans fall in my pantheon of heroes. First, I loved the Cartoon Network series. That's what got me interested in the Titans. And I love Nightwing, who founded it. Robin is there, and the current incarnation is a fascinating one. And now Superboy (Connor) is a part of the team, and I find him very fascinating. Plus I really like the cartoon version of Beast Boy, Raven and Starfire, though they are a little different in the comics.Basically this volume is two major stories in one. In one, they travel to the future. It's an okay story. But the second one, involving the return of a newly dangerous Dr. Light is very, very good. You have to read it to appreciate it.	positive

When the alien-fighting was happening, honestly it gave me a headache and was making me beg for it to stop.Go ahead and say "thats just hollywood being realistic", but to me this was a movie that gave not just fad-based topics like this a bad name, but to movies in general!

1	A welcome and invaluable compendium of sound advice	Hospital emergency rooms are typically understaffed, overstuffed, and manned with inexperienced doctors and nurses rendering them potentially hazardous to patients. This is the persuasively argued premise of Dr. Joel Cohen's ER: Enter At Your Own Risk. Dr. Cohen goes on to recommend a solid plain of action to avoid real and perceived dangers inside contemporary hospital emergency rooms that will enable non-specialist general readers on how to get treated by experts rather than the inept; how to provide children with the best care; and how to decide when and where to seek emergency professional care. ER is a welcome and invaluable compendium of sound advice in dealing with doctors and medical personnel on call so that when an emergency strikes, they will have all the facts and strategies in hand for being healed and not harmed in a hospital emergency room environment.	positive

It has broken down once (right after the warranty expired) - same issue as others had (the fan). Is is noisy. The freezer handle has broken off completely once, and has popped off again since being repaired. The interior drawer cover is worthless.

He could have stayed and worked and helped his poor toothless mother and his brothers but he came here and we never find out what happened to his mother, nor his brothers.If this kind of trash wins the pulitzer prize , then ill never read another pulitzer prize winning book ever again.I was disgusted by the book at the end .

This book is his heart and soul, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that it moved me immeasurably. To hear about a book for a decade, and then to finally read it -- and know that the rest of the world can now, too -- is probably something I'll never experience again. I want to use words like "page-turning," "tear-inducing," "touching," "emotionally charged" and "awesome," as all readers will, but the phrase that encapsulates my true feelings about The Snow Train is: "as close to perfect as a first novel can get."Way to go, Joe!	positive

1	Works great with Motorola RAZR Phone	With all of these negative reviews I was beginning to wonder about this bluetooth headset. But because I had a reasonable experience with other IOGEAR products and because this unit was Cheap, Cheap, Cheap I decided to go ahead and purchase anyway.

So if you are a Razr owner and are looking for a headset for use with the Razr, this one will do the job.	positive
0	Easy setup, poor range	I bought this unit after my Linksys wireless router died; I can therefore only compare it to the Linksys.Setup was EXTREMELY quick and easy. I got it up and running in just a few minutes. The UI of the admin app is very straight forward and I notice is strangely similar to the UI of SMC routers. I find it to be somewhat easier to work with than the Linksys UI.I am unfortunately not pleased with the transmission range of this router. I placed it in the exact same location that the Linksys had been in. A computer that was getting solid 100% connection strength with the Linksys is now only getting 50% with this unit. Another machine that was getting around 70% on the Linksys would not connect at all to this unit until it was moved to a different location.This would be an excellent unit were it not for the range problem... Perhaps there's a fix?	negative

Not Happy

I ordered this product with detailed assistance with a rep from the company. I had tried to order a similar product from another company with no luck so consequently I was very specific with what my needs were and specified exactly what I needed. The sales person Diana guarranteed me this product would be OK. Got the headphones and they were incompatible with my system, again. Diana told me I should now contact the manufacturer if I had a problem. Product was returned by me to guarrantee my refund. Very unhappy. Would never recommend dealing with this company. Very unhappy.

At our house, it's call The Donut

We have two cats. They take turns over who gets to meatloaf out on top of this. Sparta, our older cat, loves using this for his morning stretches, and both he and Mopsy, the younger cat, will spaz out chasing the ball around the ring. They haven't yet succeeded in getting the ball out of the ring, despite their best efforts. I wrote this review in response to the fact that I'm ordering a cardboard refill. The original one has been shredded into lint, after about six months.

Please don't believe the hype; total waste of time and insult to intelligence

Although I, like another reviewer here mentions, rely heavily on Amazon reviewers to guide me in my decision-making over mainly which movies to watch, reviews like the majority of ones presented here make me very skeptical about how much I should continue doing so. Actually, I've started selecting the lowest ratings to look at first because I'm finding in many cases those are actually more in harmony with my thoughts after seeing a movie. And this is definitely one of those cases. The Amazon review as well as the far too few negative reviews presented here reflect totally my feelings about this movie, so I will not add more except to direct you to those.

Lee plays the good guy!

This has to be one of the finest of the Hammer collection. Lee is piercing in his role as the Duc De Richelieu. There are occultists galore and it's up to Lee and his pal to save the son of a friend and his lover from the eternal grip of the creepiest villan Hammer studios ever unleashed. You must see this movie in widescreen! The visual created by director Terrence Fisher, of the English countryside, will give you a warm fuzzy until the final clash between good and evil.

They milked us for 5 years with suspense to keep their ratings up while making us believe all would be answered ... only to have the Sixth Season fall into a meaningless black hole. They should feel as disgraced as they actually are. Shame on them.For those who haven't already wasted their money buying this final season: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

My 6 year old son wanted the chocolate fountain as soon as he saw the advertisement on television....not knowing it uses chocolate syrup instead of real chocolate. He used it once and has not asked to use it again. As for me, the cleanup was no picnic either. It has to be disassembled for cleanup and chocolate syrup goes into nooks and crannies not submergible in water....I was not impressed!

Wonderful, readable, and insightful

This book is a wonderful and readable review of monastic life. As a "normal" person (not a monastic) my assumption is that monastic life is overwhelmingly complicated and difficult to life. This book does a wonderful job of explaining the ideas behind monastic life in an easy way that is not the least bit overwhelming. This book includes much spirituality that I enjoyed thinking about and comparing to my own spirituality. If you are interested in religious studies, you'll really enjoy this book.

Not as expected.

I have eaten restaurant quality bisque and this is not it. You can see the bits of minced crab, but the batch I received had no flavor. I added spices and a generous splash of half and half which improved it somewhat. I canceled my subscribe and save subscription. I also read the reviews for their other products and seems one either loves them or doesn't. Ending on a positive note, their label is made w/ certified green paper and vegetable inks and the cans are made from recycled steel which I thought was impressive.

Sister Re` should stick to the pop music genre.

There is no bigger Aretha fan than I. I have almost all of her albums on vinyl or cd. As a classically trained vocalist myself I feel the the Queen butchered the great "Nessun Dorma". She is a pop vocalist, not an opera singer. Nessun Dorma is an amazing Aria but this "R&B" interpretation by the Queen of soul is enough to make any classical singer cringe. The first two tracks are good however.

Pleasant Enough

I seem not to be the only one to have bought this via the Brad Mehldau route. Strange connection. This is pleasant enough but no way as intelligent and 'layered' as the jazz sound I was hoping for. Anyone who adored Vini Reilly in the early 80s should pounce on this as a retro novelty. Some tracks hit the nail others 'When I fall in Love' are woeful. A very very hollow sound. As a Brad companion-piece Mark Turner is much more in keeping. Still, Frisell adds to the musical education process.

Not worth your money.

I bought this DVD because I thought that MTV could put together a fun and exilarating workout video. But the moves are complicated/awkward and they are hard to follow. They don't give you much time to figure them out. And, you are always doing the reverse of everyone. One thing that was aggrevating was when they change a scene, you are expected to keep moving, but the music changes or dissapears for a few seconds. And sometimes, people in the video move offbeat. The editing is horrible. The camera doesn't stay focused on one "good" person. The guest is flimsy and can't do the moves accurately. She doesn't even look like she's trying. Overall it's a horrible DVD. Don't waste your money.

Junk, stay far away!

I received this as a gift, and I've been needing one desperately as I have a number of card games with over 200 cards each. The first time I used it, the right side stuck, so I'd have to feed them through. Then the ribbed plastic thing wouldn't work to depress the switch (it kept slipping). I've had to use my fingers to push the lever down to shuffle and, guess what, it snapped in half. And I've had it exactly 2 weeks. I'm sending it back, and the worst part is that I had to tell the friend who bought it for me. I'm getting a different one.

Software not compatible with Vista

I was more than excited to get started stomping out CD/DVD labels, as I had used this software on my old XP machine (and, while awkward to use, it worked great). However, while it seemed to install fine in Vista, nothing would print. The calibration page actually made a piece of paper feed through, but nothing printed on it. Any other attempts would show a brief flash of something sent to the print spooler, but nothing else. I tried XP compatibility mode, running as administrator... nothing. Printing from other applications works just fine, so it's not my printer or my driver. I ended up using bundled software that came with my CD burner. But hey, the labels themselves are great, and the little plastic stompy-thing is wonderful to perfectly apply the labels every time. If you're purchasing it simply for the physical product, it's more than worth your money.

Decent Grill

I really like this for jobs that won't fit in a cast-iron "frying" pan, so I don't have to make things in stages. But, like most cast-iron, you're going to need to season it to make it non-stick. I don't care what the description says above - this grill and all other cast-iron needs work to make it get that sheen and nice non-stick finish. I made chapatis first and it worked well, but I could see that this was going to take some uses (maybe 10 or so, with washing afterwards with hot water and steel wool, drying right away, and oiling all over) to be useful for pancakes and other items. I made tempeh today, and it came out great.The downside, besides the expected work with seasoning, is putting the item away. It's fairly large; I simply put it on its side, wrapped in parchment paper (to catch excess oil and not scratch my white cabinets), and put it in the cabinet.

Anemic sharpener

I must agree with the discenting opinions. I found this machine to be terribly anemic. It's looks good in an office. However, a nice coffee cup looks good in an office. This machine struggled to sharpen #2 pencils! When complete, the sharpening was off quite a bit. Another reviewer is correct, electric sharpeners of yesterday could consume a pencil in short-order. This one is embarrassing. I suggest using this one at the department of vehicle licenses. It would be quite at home there, slow and inefficient. Pass on this thing.

Look At Me

It's okay ... if you like that sort of thing. Too long, too many words on a page, too much of a disconnected 80's vibe. Tediously boring paragraphs that go on and on and on about nothing much. Also, pretty hard to follow/comprehend what is happening in the story. The novel did have some shining moments, but they were few and far between. I couldn't wait for it to end.

Sweet Album

I'm not a huge fan of the Seattle school although I do think Soundgarden and these guys did something right. Lanegan's baritone and the crisp guitar licks complement each other well. Seriously, its an interesting sound which isn't really characteric of anyone else I've heard. The songwriting is triumphantly gloomy and very atmospheric. This album kind of lacks a focal point however, and for that reason I can't give it 5 stars. Its also the reason why this album didn't take off when it came out.

This is it!

I have read at least a dozen books on how to get organized, at work or in general. As a professional with a private office, I have found this book the most helpful, inspirational, and practical among those. The language is neither condescending nor folksy; the principles are clearly stated and summarized; and all advice is eminently applicable. Now I have all my office files in half a drawer and I can produce any document within seconds. The author does not require you to clean up your office in one day: you are allowed to start from today's paper piles and work backwards as needed. We procrastinators are now officially out of excuses.

Not too shabby

I think this camera takes great, clear pictures, and its really easy to download them on to your computer. It is pretty easy to use, although all of the different settings can be kind of confusing, even after reading the manual a few times.My critiques of this camera are:1. It eats through AA batteries really fast. Would be a good idea to use rechargeables and always have fresh batteries on hand.2. The memory card it comes with does not hold many pictures. Plan on buying a bigger memory card.Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this purchase.

Standard Keith Sweat

On his Rebirth CD released in 2002 Keith Sweat was a comeback, however because he's been putting out records consistently since the late '80s, and it's not really a creative reawakening since he hasn't changed anything about his game. In the end, Rebirth is really just another Keith Sweat album with promisng ballads. One would have thought that Mr. Sweat would linked up with some new young talent at the time to give him a fresh sound, espically on the up-tempo but the ballads are really the only thing that save this CD. The first single One on One is very good as is Wonderful Thang, but everything is kind of by the numbers.

Archetypes

What a timeless film. As a child you're taught shame and fear. You allow them to be your limiters until one day you wake up, face the worst in yourself and choose freedom. Of course life isn't that straightforward but that's the essence of what I take away from "Cuckoo's Nest". Once your authentic self is awakened you can't choose another's definition of yourself anymore though. It's hard not to relate this 1975 movie to Hitler's Germany, or shoot, even things that are happening in 2010.Director Milos Foreman put together an excellent ensemble cast of archetypes with Nurse Rached representing the status quo, McMurphy the rebel, and Chief the voiceless Everyman. All the other patients and warders serve as the Greek Chorus.

What about men possessing men?

One would think from this tirade that all pornography is heterosexual. But of course there exists a lot of male homosexual pornography. This would never involve possessing or abusing women, since there are no women in homosexual pornography. I suspect that all of these feminist arguments against pornography are really based on traditional Judaeo-Christian puritanism and prudery. There is also the little matter of the demonization of males, of masculinity, and of heterosexuality.

That doesn't qualify me to review the book as a whole, but there is one thing I can say to a certainty: this is the worst writing that I have ever encountered in something that was actually published. And it doesn't even have that so-bad-it's-good quality that could get you some laughs. It is awful and another step down the dumb ladder.

It was not the same as the original movie.

The songs in this version were diffrenet then the original version. This made it less enjoyable, because I would remember the original movie. Why did they change it?

had potential.... WAY TOO irritating, boring and ...

repetitive! Some bad reviews make you wonder if the person bothered to learn the game enough to enjoy it... or if they know how to play these games... Well I have played Gex for several unfortunate hours.... I've completed many more challenging games, and this is the WORST (also the only game I never bothered to finish)Crash Bandicoot... ape Escape, Oddworld series are all challenging excellent games... save your money on Gex to buy them!

The Salt and Pepper Shakers"The Confident Collector"

I am rather disappointed. Of the fifty salt and pepper shakers, I have, I could only find seven. I also felt the values were a lot lower then I found in other books that I have. Even though there are a lot of salt and pepper shakers mentioned, I feel there could be more description and more photos.

Not brute tough, not even wife tough!!

I have owned this drill for less than a year in a home use setting. My wife was using it to hang pictures in a plaster wall when it "stripped out", i. e. the motor was turning but not the chuck. I purchased this drill because it sounded like the components were not likely to fail in a light duty application. Oh well...

Reads like a Harlequin Romance

I first read 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and was enthralled from cover to cover. However, this book is juvenile and romantic fluff in comparison. I will try again with this author but do not recommend this book.

I have been using Wade Cook's rolling stock and covered call strategies for quite some time and have been generating constant cash flow. Using the advice espoused by Wade in this new and incredible book, I have been able to avoid the really bad stocks and select winners.I have also been following Wade's advice in Real Estate Money Machine to create real wealth in real estate. Also recommend Nothing Down for the 2000's by Robert Allen who I understand also endorses Wade.

Trying to keep the cat awake in the daytime

Well, this video helps to keep our cat awake for a little while during the day (so he'll sleep more at night), but it is short lived. He's only interested in it for short times, say 10 minutes. If I don't show it for a couple of days and then start it again, he's interested for another 10 minutes or so. It is fun to see him curl up in his bed and watch the TV and he does, sometimes, dust the TV screen for me. His favorite is the pigeons, right up by the screen. Mouse squeaks would be appreciated, as would squirrel sounds.

Trys to be everything for everyone

I have over six years experience in SGML and wanted to find a book that would get me quickly to the nuts and bolts of XML. Aftyer reading the reviews here (yep I know, fatal mistake sometimes) I purchased this book and am disapointed. Too many ingredients in the soup I'm afraid. If you want a fat book that looks impressive on your shelf take mine. This book is trying to be an everything reference and fails.

Fireworks, moonlight

My husband bought this for me the year Colorado had a terrible drought and we couldn't have fireworks. The splashing water lit by the LEDs looks like fire. The fountain is pretty small(about the size of a paperback book) and flimsy, but it works well. The lights also remind me of moonlight shimmering on the ocean.

Definitely a NO-NO for me...

I have done several prenatal classes prior to using this video. I enjoyed the classes a lot and they made me feel so good, so I want to do them at home (because it's cheaper and I can do them everyday).I tried this video, and the first time I used it, I felt slightly dizzy. The second time - I actually threw up. All that constant moving of the head makes one nauseous specially if you're pregnant. I'm already in my fourth month and I haven't had morning sickness, and since I'm in my second trimester, I don't expect to, but the movements in the video gave it to me. Also the poses are not so helpful; it's all constant moving and chanting, which is not really what I was looking for. I will try the other video which are better rated and hope that it will give me a more similar experience I had with my actual pre-natal classes.

This book has an audience but I can't figure out who it may be. It certainly is not for beginners. It does a poor job of beginning with and building upon the basics... the KEY to learning and understanding any new language.I bought this book prior to buying several others on Excel programming, the glaring weaknesses in this book are exposed in a comparison to its brethren.Oh, and the pictures are too small.Skip this book, buy Albright's or Walkenbach's instead.JB

What happened to Dido?

My God, what happened to Dido? I love No Angel to death but I can't bear listening to this CD. Gone are the mesmerizing rhythms found in Don't Think of Me and I'm No Angel. Every song on here is the exact same. It's as if she's speaking with some (entirely too heavy) background beats humming along. There are no ups and downs to her voice. If it wasn't for the fact that words are spoken at different speeds, you can imagine her chanting the lyrics. I can't believe this is Dido has to offer after these years. Hopefully her next album is better. I will be waiting.

Good overview of Miracles' output between 1960 and 1967,

A wonderful import album for the Motown Fan. This collection does give you different tracks than that of the also wonderful 35th anniversary box set. This disc features the ballad "Would I Love You" from 1964 which was left off the box set. Other cuts like "If You Mother Only Knew" and "Such Is Love, Such Is Life" give the listener a chance to experience the maturation of Smokey as a songwriter and singer. Recommended for the Motown fan like myself.

ALL HYPE!

I was very skeptical about paying so much for a moisturizer but very desperate for a "good miraculous" moisturizer, so after reading all the reviews, i went ahead and payed the hefty $150. I am very disappointed to say that its very average, over-rated and very over-priced. Its so greasy, thick and sticky that i can only use it at night. I received a sample of the mositurizing lotion (same jar but reads "moisturizing lotion" instead of the cream) with my order and that one i do love because its very light and soft but its even pricier than the cream.

This plant was in awful condition when it arrived. The plant was dry and the leaves brown and almost dead. As it was a gift this was very dissapointing, as even though the family member it was bought for is an experienced gardner they were unable to revive the plant and it died. Waste of money.

Amateur production

Gosh, where to start? The casting was so-so, the acting was dire, the sets were appalling... Although Annette Bening did well and so did Colin Firth, you could not really see how evil they were - especially Colin Firth who just seemed like a bit of an oaf (did he wear false teeth for this movie?) He had on this really idiotic smile half the time - rather than the scheming smile we should expect from Valmont. Meg Tilly acted as if she was reading straight from an autocue. And Danceny! Eugh.For some reason, France was made to seem like a perpetual carnival as well. What was it with the street scenes?Just don't even bother. If you want to see Dangerous Liaisons, go see the one with Malkovich and Close. You can definitely feel the underlying current of emotions throughout the entire film.

A work of fiction based on factual people

I live in the area where all the Blalock's called home (Keith Blalock) is buried about 4 miles from my home). After purchasing and reading the book, I tried to locate some of the sources listed in the bibliography that were supposedly housed at Appalachain State Library in Boone, NC. These sources DO NOT EXIST according to the head of the NC room at the library. As a historical book, its "facts" are fictional. As a fiction book, it does provide interesting reading.

Excellent, well written for the novice and expert alike

After reading an article in the local paper about the history of the Bly Oregon incident where a family was killed by one of these bombs, I did a search on the internet for more information. I was referred to this book by several newsgroups. After opening this book, I read it cover to cover in one sitting. If you are not enthralled by the Japanese effort into these balloon bombs, you soon will be. This book is an excellent record of this little known part of our nations history.

Let the Buyer Beware

I should say that I bought the boxed set for seasons 1-4 and I bought season five separately, but if the producer is the same for this newest box set, you'd be better off buying the set at a store with a generous return policy.When I got my set, I was thrilled. Then, as I played through each season, I started to see skipped scenes and freezing and episodes starting in the middle instead of at the beginning. In two cases, I didn't get to see the resolution of the cases at all.Because it takes so long to watch all the episodes, by the time I realized there was a problem it was too late to return the set. I notice that the set I bought is no longer being produced; I assume that the manufactor is simply making seasons 1-5 instead.To pay $100.00 for defective disks is unconscionable. I love the show but certainly wouldn't recommend this set to anyone.

Big enough for a dad

The other reviews I read about this bag made me hesitate to buy it because a lot of them said the bag was not big enough. But I went ahead and got one anyway and honestly, if the bag were any bigger - it would not comfortably fit on a grown human being. The style of the bag (as a messenger bag cut) would not work. It would be too bulky.It may not have all the space that a super-huge diaper bag may have but it's got enough space for what you'll need. And most men I know only carry their wallet, cell phone, and keys with them. All that fits in here with the baby stuff. For a woman, a lot of us have lots more in our purses that must be combined with the baby stuff in the diaper bag (hence the need for a larger bag) - unless you plan on carrying two bags and baby.This bag is perfect for dads.

Leaked on 2nd use

On the 1st run, this heater performed well. I like the idea of a slow steady heat source that lasts after you turn it off. Heated my 12 x 17 room with no problems.On the 2nd run, it leaked oil all over my carpet 10 minutes into heating. Dripping right from the bottom on the end opposite the controls. I unplugged it and moved it onto the linoleum and is currently still leaking as I type this.I like the idea of this heater but I didn't pay $69.99 at BB&B; for a !@*$@!!! idea.Will I try it again? Depends on the defect rate. Maybe there's another radiator brand out there.

More serious literature?

The Amazon article entitled "kicking the horror habit" by one Patty Cambell lists this garbage as an introduction to more "serious" literature. How foolish of us to think that Edgar Allan Poe & Bram Stoker & Stephen King were not serious compared to this womans choices, who has not the vaguest about what literature is or what it does, joining the other dieticians, psychologists, and technicians who make up Amazon's "critics".Patty Campbell is the young adult columnist for Horn Book magazine and the editor of Twayne's Young Adult Author Series and Scarecrow's Studies in YA Lit.

love those titans

I'm not sure where the Titans fall in my pantheon of heroes. First, I loved the Cartoon Network series. That's what got me interested in the Titans. And I love Nightwing, who founded it. Robin is there, and the current incarnation is a fascinating one. And now Superboy (Connor) is a part of the team, and I find him very fascinating. Plus I really like the cartoon version of Beast Boy, Raven and Starfire, though they are a little different in the comics.Basically this volume is two major stories in one. In one, they travel to the future. It's an okay story. But the second one, involving the return of a newly dangerous Dr. Light is very, very good. You have to read it to appreciate it.

Sunk My Battleship? More Like It Sunk My Brain!

What were they thinking making this movie? Were they thinking War Of The Worlds battleship-style cuz they did sure-good job with that! Last I checked, the board game was about ships going to war, not aliens invading Earth(watch transformers 1-3 if you need that appetite sated). When the alien-fighting was happening, honestly it gave me a headache and was making me beg for it to stop.Go ahead and say "thats just hollywood being realistic", but to me this was a movie that gave not just fad-based topics like this a bad name, but to movies in general! Sorry, Liam Neeson. This isn't your fault.

A welcome and invaluable compendium of sound advice

Hospital emergency rooms are typically understaffed, overstuffed, and manned with inexperienced doctors and nurses rendering them potentially hazardous to patients. This is the persuasively argued premise of Dr. Joel Cohen's ER: Enter At Your Own Risk. Dr. Cohen goes on to recommend a solid plain of action to avoid real and perceived dangers inside contemporary hospital emergency rooms that will enable non-specialist general readers on how to get treated by experts rather than the inept; how to provide children with the best care; and how to decide when and where to seek emergency professional care. ER is a welcome and invaluable compendium of sound advice in dealing with doctors and medical personnel on call so that when an emergency strikes, they will have all the facts and strategies in hand for being healed and not harmed in a hospital emergency room environment.

Disappointed in this Refrigerator

We've had this refrigerator (stainless steel model) for just over 1-1/2 years. It has broken down once (right after the warranty expired) - same issue as others had (the fan). Is is noisy. The freezer handle has broken off completely once, and has popped off again since being repaired. The interior drawer cover is worthless. The stainless steel is of poor quality and is easily dented (even dropping an ice cube on the top of the freezer drawer is enough to create a dent. One of the worst appliance decisions I've ever made.

not impressed by the pulitzer prize anymore

At the beginning of this book, I would have given it 5 stars but as I read on all it talked about was his sex life, his interffering ( masturbating) with his self and him commiting adultry his first night in america, even though he was so outraged that his mother had done the same with laman and he slapped her for it.All he spoke of was helping his family but instead he stole money from a dead woman and came to america. He could have stayed and worked and helped his poor toothless mother and his brothers but he came here and we never find out what happened to his mother, nor his brothers.If this kind of trash wins the pulitzer prize , then ill never read another pulitzer prize winning book ever again.I was disgusted by the book at the end . Im gald I only paid 99 cents for it. but hate I helped to support such a mans life style.

worth the wait

I won't be coy and disguise myself here . . .I've been a colleague of Joe's for more than ten years, when he started writing The Snow Train. This book is his heart and soul, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that it moved me immeasurably. To hear about a book for a decade, and then to finally read it -- and know that the rest of the world can now, too -- is probably something I'll never experience again. I want to use words like "page-turning," "tear-inducing," "touching," "emotionally charged" and "awesome," as all readers will, but the phrase that encapsulates my true feelings about The Snow Train is: "as close to perfect as a first novel can get."Way to go, Joe!

With all of these negative reviews I was beginning to wonder about this bluetooth headset. But because I had a reasonable experience with other IOGEAR products and because this unit was Cheap, Cheap, Cheap I decided to go ahead and purchase anyway. I was able to quickly pair this headset with my Razr after which the performance has been flawless. The voice quality is definitely acceptible. So if you are a Razr owner and are looking for a headset for use with the Razr, this one will do the job.

Easy setup, poor range

I bought this unit after my Linksys wireless router died; I can therefore only compare it to the Linksys.Setup was EXTREMELY quick and easy. I got it up and running in just a few minutes. The UI of the admin app is very straight forward and I notice is strangely similar to the UI of SMC routers. I find it to be somewhat easier to work with than the Linksys UI.I am unfortunately not pleased with the transmission range of this router. I placed it in the exact same location that the Linksys had been in. A computer that was getting solid 100% connection strength with the Linksys is now only getting 50% with this unit. Another machine that was getting around 70% on the Linksys would not connect at all to this unit until it was moved to a different location.This would be an excellent unit were it not for the range problem... Perhaps there's a fix?
