Great Quality and variety of aquariums

This DVD is very high quality and lifelike. The variety - fresh and salt water make it nice for a change. Looks great on our 42" HDTV in the living room

I've been wearing this perfume since 2003 and the product that I purchased from Aromadiscount is not the same product that I'd buy in the mall. The smell is off and the perfume inside the bottle has a yellow color to it. I heard that this perfume is being discountinued and at Christmas time some department stores were not even stocking it. So I figured I'd buy 2 bottles to have for the future. I'm very disappointed in this purchase. It's a total knock-off. It doesn't even deserve to get 1 star.

Be Aware, A LOT smaller than expected
|
The unit has about a 3 foot range. Not the expected 20 foot as marked on the box. Be aware. Returned the product in hopes of getting one with longer range.

DVD is not in U.S. Format!!

This should be better explained that the item is for Europe formatted DVD players only. It's not formatted to play in North American Regions. Now its just sitting on my DVD shelf collecting dust because I can't do anything with it.

Good Read
|
This book is a good novel. Although in the first couple of chapters I felt that the book would be more fluff with no meat, once I got into the book,I was presently suprised. I was glad to see that Imagany gained some self awareness but was very disappointed that she did not feel or see the need to protect her sister much earlier on in the book. Unfortunately by the time she took the time to realize it, it was too late. Although a good read, the book was really somewhat sad. Even though Imagany found true happiness with a very loving and giving man, she seemed to recognize that she had to create and maintain her own identity. It is very good to read books where the character, especially female, comes away from a situation with the realization that she has to know who and what she is before she can try and give herself to someone else.

don't get me wrong ,jennifer lopez is my favorite actress and she is very pretty and i want to give her all the props in the world for her talents(acting).in selena she was great in anaconda she was brillant but on her album SHE SUCKS. come on jennifer if you don't got it you don't. it's great she's trying to get around and be known for music and movies but she only get's 2 stars for her music talent...i mean garbage. if this was a new movie she would get 5 plus stars but pleeeeeeeease re-consider your not mariah, monica, or whitney. all i'm saying is let's stick to what ya know...acting.

Great for North Dakota or Alabama Winters
|
I found this product when I was living in North Dakota in the mid 1980s. It's warm enough for a cold North Dakota day, but still comfy under a sweater in Alabama. I had the usual long johns when I was in the military, but when I found these, I was sold. 20 years of a product can't be all bad.

Not as good as the first one
|
I am quite disappointed with this latest offering from Tad. I have read all of his other books, and this one is nearly bereft of action and cohesion. The book is one long, disconnected and chaotic chase scene. The kaledescopic change of perspective is prohibitive to getting involved with the plot. The few strong characters, Renie, Xabbu and Gardiner stumble and tumble helter skelter through the ether, struggling to remember what their original goal was entering the Otherworld. I have to admit I will pause before purchasing the third for $25. Money spent better on worthier tomes...

If you're to purchase one Bobby Darin cd,this is it.Capitol records has done a wonderful job in song selection and sound reproduction on all of the artists in their Spotlight Series.This is one of their best efforts.These songs are some of the best Bobby ever recorded,which makes for totally enjoyable listening on all of the tracks.Absolutely you must buy this cd.

What a load of Rubbish!
|
What a dissapointment! I've read all of Stephen King books, and this is by far the worst! This is the worst book period I have read in years. The way he inserts himself into the story, like some kind of acid trip he was on turned me off completely to this tale of stupitiy. And the magical turtle??? Wha? Rat people and Hawk people? What the heck is going on. This isn't a book this is a drunken fantasy.I'm was so looking forward to this book and the end of the series, but I won't spend another dollar on this kind of garbage.

Combo open your beer and open any packaging with the knife. Wonderful, slick little tool.A warning that I've seen many people struggle with the bottle opener, but I never had an issue with it and find myself feeling pretty cool when its easy for me and difficult for others ;)Also REMEMBER TO TAKE IT OFF YOUR KEYS AT THE AIRPORT, I had my first one confiscated (even after I'd gotten through security with it a couple times, they may not notice but not worth the risk!) :/Lastly, you can have these engraved but use a laser engraver not a etching, the paint will peel on an etcher.Enjoy!

What a waste of money
|
Purchased this for my apartment just to protect sliding door and front door. First of all the unit had to be within about 10 feet of the front door to pick up the sensor. Deciding to work with this was a mistake. Within a few weeks the unit would start beeping for no reason and the only way to stop it was to completely turn off the unit. I am one of those individuals who normally bo not buy junk and i have learned another lesson.

Not as Expected
|
The product received was actually only 1L, not the 1.5L, and the top of the bladder has 2 wholes instead of the hook as the original camelbaks, so it is impossible to hang in the bag-pouch, which makes the whole bag uncomfortable...and since I had to order it to friends in the EU who were coming out to meet me in Africa, I have no other options... Should provide either a better description of the product, or revamp the product to be more compatible with it's intended use.

Disappointed.
|
This new CD got SUCH G L O W I N G reviews by the "critics" and it sounded so interesting and unusual...I couldn't wait to try it....I even ignored the previews customer reviews...thinking "just must not be their cup of tea". After receiving the cd and listening once I thought just maybe I didn't really give it a fair listening. So I played it several times and each time found it less and less interesting.The renditions are overly simplified and after a while become monotonous. I was so disappointed in what I THOUGHT based on the publicity was going to be something unique and interesting.Uh Uh wasn't....ELH

Buyer beware
|
Not what you see in the picture. I thought I was getting a set of slip stones. Note that the title for this item says "Stones".... plural. But what I got shipped to me was one single stone 3-1/2x3/4x1/2 inch in size. In looking more carefully at the detailed description, I can see now that it is described this way, but you have to read very carefully to understand that you will receive only one stone.In my option, the price is too high for one small slip stone. I plan to return what I received.I do wish that Amazon had a policy of ensuring that photos provided by the seller accurately reflect the item being sold.

Painfully unreadable
|
Obviously the '80s were a nightmare for Behrman, but Electroboy was a nightmare to try to read in the '00s. It's less a memoir and more a 277 page run-on sentence. There's an overriding sense that Behrman is bragging about his exploits, since the details are accompanied by less than zero self-awareness. All memoir is self-involved, but this guy takes it to new depths. He's outdone Elizabeth Wurtzel -- and that takes some doing.

Disappointed mom!
|
My 5 year old son just got this for his birthday and was so excited. It worked for about three minutes, then it stopped working. There was no dried paint clogging the line, given that it was the first time we'd used it. I added more than the water it called for and shook it very well. We used it as directed and it simply didn't last. Now, the engine runs regardless of whether the trigger's depressed or whether it's aimed up, down or sideways, and the water just dribbles out the end. If you tip it upward, with the batteries aiming toward the ground, water gushes out of the battery compartment. That just can't be good! Needless to say, I'm with the rest of the disappointed parents who will not replace this product or buy it for anyone else.

Good stuff for kids!

The first time I saw Lazy Town, I went to change the channel because it was so horribly cheesy, but my 3 year daughter really seemed to enjoy the show, so I let her watch. After a couple of epsidoes, I kind of got used to it, but after the first time she asked to have carrots at snack time becasue "she needed energy", I was sold for life! Any show that can encourage kids to eat healthy and exercise (and kids actually listen) has my vote, and, I have to admit, the euro-pop dance songs are kinda catchy!

Just Bad
|
I REALLY enjoyed the first Mission Impossible flick, but man, what happened? This movie was really bad, I mean BAD! I got to see this movie for free and I felt so cheated, I wanted to bill them for my time. There seemed to be no heart or anything out of the ordinary/special about this film. I think it is based on a rejected James Bond script. Hey, I love action movies more than most, but this was a poor attempt to capture some of that Matrix market with supposedly great special effects. I felt the fights and action sequences were cornier than Charlie's Angels, which was tongue in cheek all the way. I can best associate this series as going the way of the Batman series. MI:2 - Bad, but still better than English Patient

Somewhat confusing.....
|
My 3 yr old daughter recently received this game. I have to admit that the instructions confused me for a few minutes. I had to play it to understand completely. I also needed to provide my daughter with lots of direction in order to play. It's not as simplistic as for example: Pretty, Pretty Princess. The spinner is made up of a thin plastic which is not sturdy. It also comes in 2 pieces (one sitting on top of the other) and frequently comes apart when spun. I can't recommend this game and would advise my friends to purchase pretty, pretty princess instead...

Good Cause, Bad Representation
|
I have read this book, and I must admit that the cause is indeed helpful, although it would be nice to focus on both girls and boys to address the problem of gender inequality.What I did not like is the the overall representation of Pakistanis as well as the writing involved. The writing reminds me of Edward Said's Orientalism. The exotic "other" in the perception and presence of the "American" is bothering. It has the typical colonial framework all over. I suggest that one re-read the book and keep this idea in mind. The book was mainly written for the American audience, after all.

Very good materials, however it was a really tight fit for an '05 Camry. Also there are small gaps between the filter and filter tray once installed. However, applying tape to cover the small gap worked. I won't be getting this again, however because it wasn't a perfect fit.

Truly touches the spirit

This is my favorite album. I listen to it at work when things get tense. It soothes me and reminds me of what I am really about. You don't have to be Native American to get this music. "Turn the Radio On" makes me think of my grandmother with her indomitable spirit and wonderful smile. "Wash Your Spirit Clean" does just that. The voices of these wonderful women are rich and spiritual. I only have one question - when is the next album, please?

Excellent Book
|
This is probably the best book for writing Shaders in DirectX 9.0. It starts off with the basic concepts of the language and builds up slowly to very advanced concepts. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants some learn and practice some serious Shader programming.A note for newbies though. This is a book for advanced readers. People who already have a decent knowledge of DirectX 9.0. This book WILL NOT teach you the basics of DirectX 9.0. It is meant for Shader programming and it does that with great elegance. However, if you are looking for a beginner level book then look for some other book about general DX programming.

Part Mystery, Part Love Story
|
This was a mesmerizing story of a very unusual man, caught between the confines of the societal expectations and his all-encompassing need to live apart from those expectations. Woven into the mystery of Randy Morgenson's disappearance are the love interests of his life - the people, and his beloved high country. Using many of Morgenson's own eloquent descriptions of his beloved back country, author Eric Blehm captured the essence of the outdoor purists who choose this difficult and solitary work.

Works great with Windows Vista
|
This RF wireless keyboard/mouse combo works great with Windows Vista. I am running the Ultimate edition as a media center and the PC is actually in a different room than the display. The RF signal works really well since there isn't a direct line of site (that an infrared solution would require). I didn't see any delay that I have read about on other vendor's products.The package comes with a USB mouse base that acts as the transmitter for the mouse and keyboard. The base also recharges the mouse's AA batteries (included) via an adapter. The keyboard takes 2 AAA standard batteries (included). Overall, both the mouse and keyboard have a good feel and it just works. It took less than 5 minutes to unpack everything and have it up and working. Vista had all of the neccesary drivers (I believe XP would as well).Finally, the keyboard has 2 channels (default worked).I'll definitely purchase again if I need another. I am impressed - especially for the price. Great job!

Beautiful accessory for your new Mitsubishi phone . . .
|
Yes, this looks like a typical cell phone leather case, but it has one big plus: it can accommodate the larger 1500mAh NiMH battery. The T250 comes with a slim-line battery, but I like to have a backup, and prefer to get the largest capacity I can. Unfortunately, my last cell phone case could not accommodate the phone plus the larger battery. OK, so it's a minor inconvenience, but still it's nice to have a stylish case that I can use no matter which battery is snapped on the back of my phone. The sides of the leather case are made of a lycra fabric which stretches enough to accommodate the "thicker" profile of the phone plus battery. The phone slips in easily, although snugly. Then, when I switch back, the case returns to its original slimline profile. OK, so I impress easily. But for the cost, this little case delivers great value. Enjoy!

Continues "Journey to the Abyss", But Badly Edited
|
This continues "Journey to the Abyss", the diaries of a German aesthete who knew everybody and did everything. This book covers the period from the end of World War l to Harry Kessler's death in 1937.Unfortunately, this book is not nearly so well edited as "Journey". Not only are there errors of fact (Nicolai Nabokov was born in 1913?) but the footnotes are at the end of the book, rather than at the bottom as in "Journey to the Abyss", forcing one to turn pages frequently. A fascinating memoire, in any case.

More Androids Appear
|
I have viewed these 3 episodes in Japanese & I must say that they are quite entertaining. The tape starts off where the Z Fighters are in search of Android 20(Dr.Gero) & his hidden lab that contains more androids. In this episode I believe, Krillin has an encounter in the mountains with Dr.Gero that you don't want to miss! After recovering with a senzu bean, Krillin follows Dr.Gero to the lab. This is where the other androids he spoke of are activated. The Z Fighters meet at the lab to destroy the androids by blowing up the lab, but Vegeta wants to fight them instead. Insisde, Dr.Gero has an encounter with the androids that Trunks spoke of. Knowing of what may happen, Trunks attempts to blow up the lab. In the last episode, Android 18 takes on an over-confident Vegeta in my all-time favorite battle. It is my favorite because it takes place on a crowded highway, after viewing this battle you'll know why I like it so much.

Fails at its basic purpose Try another brand
|
These type of toys are supposed to slide out of your hands when you grab them. However this one has a very large (about 1/2 inch) seam where the two pieces are fitted together. That seam has also shrunk so is not only is much thicker in that area than the rest of the toy but also smaller. You can sort of see the seam in the pictures (look for the smaller part). The result is the toy only slips until it hits the seam and given the resistance the seams causes, even does that poorly. I have had other brands of this toy and never noticed a seam and they work quite well (are very hard to hold), but this one is pretty much worthless. It can easily be picked up and needs to be forced to slide in your hand. I strongly recommend you try one made by another company.Reading the other reviews, several of the 5 star ones seem a little too enthusiastic and I would not believe them to be genuine.

Wish I had made a different choice
|
I own two of these and within about a year of purchase they have both become unreliable. One loses so much time that I have to correct it every few days and the other doesn't reliably "trip" my lights. I noticed last night after the time that the lights should have been out, that they were still on. In checking, the timers and time were all correct, it just apparently hadn't triggered the lights to turn off. As someone who travels a lot and has a friend care for the tanks once a day, I need my timers to do their job, so I will have to be replacing them. If you are deciding on a purchase, keep looking!

Not Erotic
|
Perhaps I'm jaded, but it takes a little more than repetitive acts of S & M to get me off. Also, Anne Rice needs to understand a little about the subject on which she writes. For one thing, it is generally the powerful that enjoy being dominated, not the weak, so Beauty's enjoyment of pain is a mistake. The powerful prince should be the one to enjoy torture. If you're reading this review in contemplation of purchasing the book, let me sum the plot up for you. Prince Charming takes Beauty to his S & M castle. That's it.

Some good advice, but not worth buying
|
I started reading this book, and while it seems to have some good points, the writing is pretty bad (strange for a book on writing to be poorly written). She keeps repeating herself over and over, about how successful she is. While trying to inspire, she is also depressing, that it may take years or decades to get yourself established. I don't think so...sounds like she's just trying to make money from this book, yet wants to discourage any new competition! Take my advice and buy the "Well Fed Writer" by Peter Bowerman. His advice is better, his writing is funny and very readable, and he doesn't speak to the reader like they're a moron. Which Flynn does, by the way.

I'M SO NOT JOK...ING
|
This CD was awesome. I swear, from the moment I popped it into my CD player. At first I was nervous, thinking it would have been a bunch of yucky boring songs. But actually...I was blown away. It is sort of like a Christina Aguilera album, not the lyrics though, but the way the have different music styles in this CD. They have things that teens listen too, and also things that adults listen too as well. I was a little upset because of "Don't Cry Out Loud", it wasnt as awesome as the one on television, but other than that...it rocked my socks off.

Thought the language, although true, was filthy, not worth $
|
Thought Frank McCourts style is good, but the language is gutter. It is filthy. I'm sure not all Irish are this way, but it certainly leaves a bad taste in your mouth about the morals, language and drinking of the Irish. I wouldn't even want to pass it on to anyone after reading it. It will pollute your mind.

Good, but...
|
I really liked this book and I love the main character of Tempe Brennan. The characters are well drawn and multi-dimensional and I loved all of the tidbits about forensics and anthropology. The locations were rich in detail and I felt like I was there. My only complaint about this book was that I had every single plot point figured out a good 30-50 pages before Tempe did. There wasn't a single thing in this book that surprised me. But it was still an enjoyable read and even if I knew that going in, I would still read it.

Terrible dvd produced by Reel Classic Films
|
This is not a review of the film itself, of which I have fond memories. However, this release is simply awful.The picture is distorted, cramped and shaky - imagine someone videotaping their television screen while the movie was playing. That's precisely the "quality" of this dvd. The sound is muffled and distorted as well.Even the packaging is poor - the cover design is something which a half-way competent ten year old could have made if given access to Adobe. Not to mention that the prongs holding the dvd in place are ineffectual in retaining the disc.Truly terrible dvd of a very good movie. There are other versions of this very same movie available. I can't believe Amazon put this on their site as a legitimate commercial product when it has all of the ear marks of being a pirated copy. Do not be gulled into buying this travesty of a dvd put out by "Reel Classic Films".

Frustrating ink guzzler
|
The printer worked pretty good while I used it often, but when I used it less frequently the problems started to mount - namely with the ink situation. It started to give the "ink out" messages even though the ink was not out in all the cartridges. And, even if I just had a full black in cartridge and another one was "low" it would not print in black only either. Very frustrating (and expensive to buy ink). We tried cleaning it and still doesn't want to print. It won't print if it senses that any cartridges are "out of ink"(even though they aren't). I just don't understand how it says you're "out of ink" and won't print when I know that is not true. What an expensive machine this is to run- and a frustrating one. Won't buy Epson again.

Gives a glimpse of all the "advanced" topics
|
The authors make this book appear as an extension to Java tutorial available on the web. The depth of coverage is just enough to understand the basic concepts of the "advanced" topics.But as a whole, it is a good book to understand the fundamentals of topics like JDBC, RMI, (a little bit of CORBA-idl), and Java 2 security.

WARNING! NOT FOR STUDENTS ALREADY ENROLLED IN COLLEGE!
|
You might think that this is a guide for students already in college, but beware. Though it has some good advice, it is supposed to be written for high school students wanting to major in drama, dance, or music in college.A second warning: This book is dated, five year-old material.

Circuit Sessions continues with one hot mix after another!
|
Yet another awesome entry in the 4 Play Records Circuit Sessions series. DJ Roland Belmares delivers a hodge podge of different styles mixed together effortlessly. This volume in the series is a good follow up to the unmatched brilliance of Volume 7 mixed by Barry Harris of Thunderpuss. 4 Play should tap some other hot circuit DJ's to contribute to this series that just seems to get better and better. Monty Q, Kimberly S, Eddie X.... basically any DJ with an initial for a last name. Add this to your must have collection.

These arrows are fantastic. When I started archery, I was a completely terrible shot and I shot arrows into the ground, into trees, into whatever else happened to be in my way except for the target. They have not scratched at all, the fletches are still in good condition, and there are no dings or marks on the shaft. Definitely recommend these!

Not just bad, dangerous!
|
The frame mount for this product is just plain dangerous. It does not hold the lock securely in place and the lock will work free while cycling. This very thing happened to me. Fortunately, the lock only bounced off of my shin, causing pain but not a crash. It seems that retailers (and presumably BullDOg) are aware of this and yet let this inherently dangerous condition continue. I do not even bother using the mount any more.As for the lock itself, after 3 months, the locking mechanism is jammed. The key often does not work. I think the tumblers become misaligned. I have tried wiggling it, shaking it, finessing it, striking it, etc. nothing works. Then, a day or so later, it works again. Again, having read reviews (unfortunately AFTER purchase) it appears that the company is aware of this defect. BullDog is BullCr@p!

A tale of bravery
|
I read this book years ago, but it is still one of my favorite books. If you have read this book and like it, (I don't think anyone would not like it!) I would suggest the Redwall seires to you, and also C. S. Lewis's Narnia and the Space Trilology. This book is for all ages, everyone would enjoy it!

Very clean looking system that sounds great.
|
Picked this up for a replacement for the living room stereo. Clarity is excellent, the speakers (come with stands) look greatand the setup was easy. I've had a few other HTIB systems and this is one of the best to date. The subwoofer could be a little better (6") but thats a minor issue. Has a 5 disc changer, FM/AM tuner built-in and plays CDRW,DVDRW+/-, etc.

Good Book
|
If you are just beginning juicing like me, this book is very helpful. Although, I like the Elaine La Lanne one best. Still this also has a lot of good tips and recipes, and a lot of information if you are just starting. Juicing is a wonderful way to get healthy and improve your life.

an excellent film.
|
This review is for the criterion collection edition.This film is probably the most famous Swedish film to be released in the US. It helped launch Ingmar Bergman's career in the US and launched Max Von Sydow to international stardom.In this film, a soldier coming home from the crusades is approached by Death and challenges him to a game of chess. The film is set against a time when the bubonic plague was raviging Europe.It has great cinematography and the acting is also quite well done. This film is a masterpiece and sure to remain a classic.The criterion edition includes some great bonus features including clips of some of Bergman's other films and an audio commentary of the film. It also has an English dubbed soundtrack.

Received 2. Both defective.
|
On the first that I received, I couldn't get the cap OFF. I couldn't even get it off with a plumber's wrench. On the replacement I received, I couldn't get the cap ON. The threads of the cap would not engage with the threads on the body of the supersoaker. Not sure if the problem is one of design or workmanship.

Cute idea, but bad material/packaging
|
This is an adorable set of heart cookie cutters; sadly, however, I had to return them, as they arrived rusty and dirty, in no packaging besides for a twister wire holding them together.Too bad, as they were really cute. I would have expected better from Amazon.

Blue Max 4000 Watt delivers as advertised
|
Received Product one day after promised ship date from Fed Ex. Shipping box was in good shape, no dents or dings on generator. After setup, it started on second pull. It ran at a very low noise level. (In comparision to my 5500 Watt generator). I tested it with a 13 amp saw and a microwave. Ithink it a good product. With the free shipping you can't beat the price.

Great player
|
I am overall impressed with the Zen Touch. It has a freezing problem, but this can be delt with by resetting the player, a simple task. The features such on-the-fly playlists, touch pad scrolling, long battery life, and friendly interface make it a near 5 star worthy item. Unfortunately, I can only give it 4 because of the freezing. But really, overall a great mp3 player.

These are great! Just pump the milk in to these and freeze for Daddy to feed the baby. I can finally sleep in on his days off now because I have these to store all that milk. I just wished that I bought more of these. They are easy to clean because of the wipe opening. Small, light weight and easy to travel with. This is a must have for all mom's.

Disappointed

I was disappointed that this film did not offer detail on the colorful history of this famous lawman. It seemed the movie just began before he is killed. Bill Tighlman's past is much more interesting than his death.

Cut the cord

I purchased this antenna to receive local TV signal when I decided to reduce my cable service. The broadcast towers are located approximately 35 miles away and I was pleasantly surprise how clean of a signal I'm receiving even with the antenna mounted in the attic.

Perfect no nonsense formattng software
|
Final Draft is essential for students and industry professionals. I've been using it for a decade and have no complaints. But screenwriting software won't make you a good writer. For that you need practice and educational tools likeThe Bare Bones Book of Screenwriting: The Definitive Beginner's Guide to Story, Format, and Business

Susan Satta is a beautiful young woman, and her performance in this movie is equally beautiful. As for Jenny's occasional zealotry, reading the surrounding comments her response to the world seems less and less inappropriate.
