0	Ms. Truman, could you please (...) ME instead?	I had to read this book for school. I don't know WHY. All the characters were identical, the plot was confusing, and the end had no real explanation whatsoever. It took me a MONTH to read this garbage. I think she's just riding on the wave of her Daddy's fame from his presidency and never actually bothered to take writing lessons.	negative
0	Self Serving and Disappionting	And I was rather put off by how unkind she was to poor Brian Jones. You would think with all her problems she would be more compassionate.When she talks about Brian Jones losing his looks and being dissolute I couldn't help but look at the pictures she had included of herself and noting that by the time of his death her own looks, such as they were, had run screaming from the room.All and all I found her extremely unlikable and more than likely a little bit crazy.She also spent quite a bit of time bragging about her "career" which , to most of us in America consists of a couple of appearances on "AbFab".	negative
0	not worth	I wouldn't recommend buying this camera.Entrance level camera. Fixed zoom. "Focus free" means you can't actually adjust focus on your subject. It is the relatively large "depth of field" that ensure the picture is clear. Think about the money you are going to spend on film and developing, it's not a good idea to buy a [bad] camera...	negative
1	Fun, with a couple of caveats	This little table is cool and fun, as long as you are sitting close to the ground, and the ground is soft, but firm. For me, the caveats were that I needed to open the slots for the stems of the glasses a bit to match my acrylic wine glasses, and I made a little accessory so I could pound the stake into the ground with a rubber mallet without damaging the threaded rod onto which the tabletop screws. It amounted to a 3" piece of 2x2 with a 3/4" hole in it and an additional 1/4" hole to accommodate the threaded rod.All in all, I like this and will make use of it every time we go see Shakespeare Dallas in the park.	positive
0	It works, kinda	Well, it does what it says it does. But its resolution is low, and half the time the computer thinks it is constantly being plugged in and unplugged. I've also needed to reinstall the drivers every time I restart the computer. And Vista support, well, thats another can of worms. I searched online, and it appears that you can get it to work on Vista, but you have to jump through more hoops then a circus animal.	negative
1	Softpaw is WRONG. This Tea is Awesome	I have tried every flavored tea known to mankind that I have access to and by far Walters Bay is the best for flavor AND for value. Raspberry, Mango, Peach, and Plain iced are all wonderful and 1 pouch will brew 2.5 gallons of tea. 2.5 GALLONS! I bought the flavor sampler from them and each version yielded the same result. Yes its a dark brew but so what...for me that translates into my tea dollar stretching much farther than ANY of their competition. I am not a tea snob by any means and ONLY drink iced versions. Period. So it may be that for the tea snob inclined the flavor, body, bouquet, balance, yadda yadda may disagree with you and if so, so be it. For me, Walters Bay is a perfect and very economical replacement for Paradise Tropical, China Mist, and all other flavored variants. And for the tea snobs out their, Walters Bay Tea has won multiple awards details of which can be found at their website.	positive
1	Already a Favorite	I'm only a few chapters in now but I am already sold. This is one of those books that combines personal anecdotes with delectable morsels of historical trivia. Matthew Polly weaves easily through both, stitching together an instant classic. His writing style is humorous and informative. Its sort of like combining the History channel with Comedy Central, then peppering the stew with some A & E biography. In just 3 chapters, I already feel like I've been schooled in Chinese culture, Chinese martial arts, Eastern philosophy, English writing, World history, and comedy. A fantastic read. Five stars.	positive
0	Angry and Hysterical	I tried to read this book. I failed. It was so angry and hysterical in tone-- the author obviously despises Christianity and carries a huge grudge against every bad thing ever attributed to the religion. I DO believe there is a LOT of good evidence behind the "Jesus never existed" idea, but I wouldn't believe any of it coming from someone so obviously biased.	negative
0	A whole lot of BRAIN WASHING	this is book contains a whole lot of Brain washing , making up a lot of wishy washy stories based on hindu mythology . Keep away , i would advise people to rather read Vivekananda and J. Krishnamurti - that's more sensible stuff	negative
1	glad we bought this	We have the Graco Metrolite system and our sons little head would flop everywhere in the car seat. We purchased this headrest (and took out the graco one) and now his head stays in place while we travel. I'm very happy that we purchased this one and once he's a little bigger, we'll take it out and put the graco one back in.	positive
0	No shame for these guys!!!!!	Amazing that when REAL reviews are written, Zag & Tong resort to using cronies to counter the latest and most honest reviews (for example, Malloy & Goldberg work for the same company as them -- Ignition Partners). Is this the same level of shamelessness these two used to "market" the Microsoft monopoly?Obviously, the two of you are concerned that the book does not stand on its own merits.	negative
0	Bad hiss with this headset, will return	I am disappointed with Sennheiser regarding the RS120. Constant hiss and loss of signal when moving. I had a Radio Shack 90 MHz earphones, much cheaper that have better sound quality and very reliable. Unfortunately, they no longer sell this, as I have worn out the charging system and the unit needs help. I will return the Sennheiser RS120 and hope to find one more reliable and hiss free.	negative
0	Awkward to use	This tool does what is advertised, but I found it cumbersome and awkward to use. I couldn't easily set the jig to mark locations on thicker than average boards either.	negative
1	4 at once	I love that I can have real food in the microwave. They come out nearly perfect. The only guessing I have to do is based on the age of my microwave and how much oomph its lost over time.	positive
0	Bait and switch!	This book had me at "hello"! Unfortunately, it couldn't live up to its strong start. I read the whole thing to see how it ended... but I enjoyed so little about this book, that I'm really surprised by all the hooplah it's received. It was boring, had many hard-to-believe plot twists, and I just couldn't get into (or even like!) any of the characters. There was nothing satisfying about this book on any level. Yawn.	negative
1	A truly touching tale of love	Mina is a city-girl whose tragic loss of her husband has left her in a state of spiritual and emotional distress. She is led on a path back to God, love and happiness by her guardian angel Sam, who proves that miracles do happen in this day and age.This is a beautifully written story of loss, hope and God's love. At times I laughed out loud, at times I cried, but by the end of the book I felt as if I was a part of something really special. The characters are real, and endearing, and the story is intriguing. This is an excellent love story.	positive
0	SLOW with OS X	There are some third party drivers for this on the internet for OS X, but the results are SLOW, must slower than wireless. You can buy a USB to Ethernet converter from Apple that is FAST.	negative
0	Double Bubble gum.	I hated this bubble gum. It did not hold the flavor for more than a few seconds. It also hurt my jaw as it is so hard to chew. I will not be purchasing this again.	negative
0	Tells us what we already knows	It's basically a bunch of kids telling us that "We loveHarry Potter," hence the title. It's basically full ofpredictions and other material that you could find on a web page. If I where you I wouldn't waste my money on it. It's compltely usless. If you really want it try getting a copy from the library but I don't see why you would...	negative
0	Extra ears	The extra ears did not work. After charging them all I could hear was static. The ears that came with the transmitter work fine. Had to return them. Have not yet received a refund.	negative
1	Pass CCIE Written ? No Problem	In order to pass CCIE written test you need the ultimate tools of all, Don't try to save some bucks and end up in paying test fee multiple times.Buy this book, concise, easy to understand, easy to digest will help you to pass CCIE written test.I have bought this book and preparing myself into ccie written test.I am very confident know since i have the book :)	positive
1	So light and soooo Cool.	I have been playing and touring with my kit for over 35 years and have been using all types of racks,double braced stands and a whord of heavy gear. I have to say that it was time for a change. So i sold my rack, Double braced stands and heavy gear. I was looking for a lighter way to travel and these are pefect for the road. I did not think that they may not be as sturdy as my double braced stands but i was way wrong...they are better and very stable. So if you are looking to decrese your load or want the vintage look without the sway then get these...they are worth their weight in gold!!	positive
0	At Hitler's Side	A somewhat disappointing book. As Hitler's Luftwaffe Adjutant, Von Below hade an insider view of the Fuhrer's wartime entourage. The book is very light on details, a superficial overlook of Von Below's experiences. This is a fatal flaw for a book of this type. I wanted to know what someone who was there saw and heard. The casual information provided is available from a zillion other sources. It is perhaps understandable. Von Below's notes taken at the time were destroyed. He reconstructed details from memory for the book. Unfortunately, it does not make for an informative, interesting read.	negative
0	What a JOKE	Someone made millions on a false hype! This book was a joke.. and I am trying hard to refrain from the negative words that want to spew from my mouth about how wrong this book is. To say that the secret of life is law of attraction.. everything that happens to us was brought on by ourselves.. including women who are raped! This writer and creator needs her mouth and hands slapped! What a waste of time and money. This book shall burn with its millionaire writer who both deserve the law of falsehood explained to them! What a JOKE! I littered my copy out on Interstate 69 for the animals to defecate on!	negative
1	great for traveling, reduces eye strain	I really love my new Kindle. I used it for several overseas long plane flights and was pleased with the quality of font size and ease of reading. It was so cool to look up a book and have it in my hands in a matter of seconds. I would recommend purchasing the cover because it feels like you are reading a book and makes it more easy to adjust to reading from the device.	positive
0	whoa, pony	banal, derivative, overproduced tripe. whiney, lame, stupid vox/lyrics.a country-inflected KILLERS--i.e. soul-less corporate rock gone trendy (read"alt-country" wannabes with My Bloody Valentine fantasies).Sub Pop, whence the spate of horribly BORING records. i've not bothered to listsong tracks cause they're really undeniably samey, these songs--one after anirksome other.don't waste money--buy GOOD RECORDS: yo la tengo, sparklehorse, the black watch,the radio dept. all put out excellent albums this year. investigate!	negative
1	Straight ahead Bach.	I enjoyed the understated, slightly rough-hewn elegance of Goode's set of Beethoven sonatas, and figured his Bach would be worth a go. It has all of the qualities I appreciated in his Beethoven playing: no fuss, no muss; perhaps more head than heart, but certainly not imposing or dry; and, above all, a willingness to let the music speak for itself. Sometimes it seems a bit lacking in dynamics, but I would much prefer this to turning Bach into churning melodrama, as some pianists are wont to do. The recorded sound seems slightly on the dry side, but perfectly listenable.This is as good as Bach gets on the piano, and it's very good indeed. I also bought Volume One based on this, and it's just as satisfying -- these are now my preferred listening for the Partitas on piano. To get the best set on harpsichord, try Trevor Pinnock's recent recording, which I found to be an equally pleasing performance.	positive
0	Young rehashing Young	Politics aside, most of the songs on here are not very original. As I listened to it, it seemed to me that Young was rehashing or recycling some of his earlier songs and licks. I think the only reason this CD got the press it did was because of the politics of the lyrics and Young flip-flopping on his earlier support of the war on terror (just like most of the Democrats). This is only for hardcore Young fans.	negative
0	Beware: GamePad "not supported." Aspyr support disappoints	I have really enjoyed this game on my brother's X-box. The Aspyr version promised similar game play but with improved graphics (the graphics are great)--and I didn't need to buy an X-box to enjoy it. I bought the iShockII GamePads to facilitate cooperative (2-person) play. The program automatically identifies the controllers and the manual tells you how to set them up. However they don't work. The characters always walk and never run when the controllers do not emulate the keyboard. This makes it impossible to sucessfully complete many levels.I wrote tech support and got this completely apathetic and misleading answer "I can tell you that The Lord of the Rings; The Return of the King doesn't support gamepad or joystick play." I think Ratburt is the tech support manager there.	negative
1	A Great Analysis of Workflow	I can only say congratulations on this most informative book. As a source of information about workflow it is excellent!!	positive
0	boorish	This book is unrelatable. It's not coherently written, and seems like a list if words, rather than a presentation of cogent thoughts, feelings, or experiences. I found it too tedious to complete. wish it were otherwise.	negative
0	greatly disappointing	I am very happy for the Boutenko family's new found health and hope that their story is true. This book felt like a lengthy high-pressure sale and was not enlightening or even that interesting. I expected to read about the health benefits of the raw or live food lifestyle, but instead found page upon page of advertisement for the VitaMix Blender. The last quarter of the book is filled with "testimonials" from folks happily using the VitaMix Blender. If you are looking for nutrition information or live food recipes, you will not find them here.	negative
1	25 grams of protein?	Was very impressed with this cereal. The 25 grams of protein are amazing and I get it at my local Whole Foods. The smaller health food stores should stock it too. I eat a bowl at 9:00am and I don't get hungry until 3:00pm!Read a report that whole soy helps to absorb fats and cholesterol in the small intestine so it literally soaks up fat before your body can absorb it!	positive
0	This episode gets a C- grade and is ranked 66th out of 80	Chasing the stolen vessel Aurora, the U.S.S. Enterprise rescues the thieves just before the Aurora is destroyed. The group is led by Dr. Sevrin in a search for a mythological planet named Eden, a planet reputed to be a paradise. Since one of Sevrin's group is the son of a Federation ambassador, Sevrin is held in protective custody while his followers are permitted to be free aboard ship. But when Spock is able to deduce Eden's location, Sevrin's followers free Sevrin and take over the starship. Reaching Eden, Sevrin takes his people down to the surface in a shuttlecraft. When Kirk leads a landing party in pursuit, they find that the planet's vegetation all secretes deadly acid, and the fruits are all poisonous. Madly refusing to believe Kirk, Sevrin bites a piece of fruit and dies immediately. With his death, his followers are taken back aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.	negative
1	"Oh" yes!	This single is a must-own. This woman is an artistic genius. If you don't like Ciara, then you're a racist. Plain and simple.	positive
1	Inspiring	I liked this book even more than "It's Not About the Bike", and I loved that book. I enjoyed learning about the incredible team work involved in something as crueling as the Tour de France. As a woman, I wasn't raised participating in team sports and I never thought of a bike race as anything but an individual performance. I really felt as if I was riding along with the guys up those massive peaks...Good writing in my opinion...Insightful	positive
1	The Reef Set	We have used the Reef Identification series for years and this new update is a great addition -- many more fish are identified. The writeups about each fish are very detailed and explain behaviours and various color shadings well. The photos are excellent, and we have always been impressed by the amount of work and care that have gone into the series. This is the first time we have had the Reef Coral book and are as pleased with it as with the quality of the other two books.	positive
0	Suction cups suck... in a bad way.	I purchased a two-pack of these suction cup fender straps. I'm now down to one as the other is probably well on its way to the Atlantic Ocean about now (along with the fender). Thought it was a great idea, but it just didn't work out. I applied the suction cups to a clean, smooth (gel coat) surface, expecting it to hold... and it did, for about 15 minutes, then was gone. I removed the survivor and secured the fender the traditional way, with a line and cleat. To be fair, the water was pretty choppy due to a bunch of jet-skis creating unwelcome wakes. The boat was beating against the dock pretty good. But, a traditionally secured fender would have survived the punishment.	negative
1	Good Book	This is a light and easy read that covers the basic science behind EKGs and how to interpret them. I bought this book as a second resource for PA school, and I am glad I did. Our 'assigned' class text was terrible, and I thought I was doomed until I found this book. It helped me to grasp the basics since I didn't have much prior experience. This book would be great for someone that needs an easy and fun read on how to approach an EKG even if you've never done it before. This book doesn't cover every single higher concept, but it should teach you what you need to know and give you a foundation to understand the rest.	positive
0	Disappointed	I purchased four of these tape players for use in a classroom. Two of them worked for only a few days, and the other two only work if you wiggle the batteries until they are in just the right position. I am a few days past the return date, so I am stuck with one of them. Tape players should last longer than that. But, I guess you get what you pay for.	negative
1	It's Great!	It's great! Definitely worth the money! Saves SO much money on buying new bras that were ruined by the washing machine. I love it!	positive
0	Trammps	Bogus. These are not the original tracks and they lack a lot of the original feeling of those great records. The covers are mere filler. Let me save you the time it cost me to execute a return to Amazon....	negative
0	Come one, Think about it for One second	What's up with all the hype about this Overrated rapper? He had some decent songs but his albums are horible and unoriginal. Buy something from Nas, B.I.G and A Tribe Called Quest.	negative
1	Hot Time in the Old South	Pearl and Kat Wilde and all the Wilde women through the generations are beautiful and cannot seem to keep their panties on. However, it is not graphic or gross, just saucy and spicy. It is really interesting to picture a brothel turning the local economy around in a one horse Southern town that has seen better days. Enjoyable read even though you just want to shake the main characters sometimes and give them a good "talking to"! Power Path to Love	positive
0	A little better than the first...	At least something happened in Part 2 that made me want to pick it up and finish. Not at all like Part 1. Character development is great but you must throw in a little adventure, too. After all, this is Dragonlance, isn't it? Am I anxiously awaiting the finale'? No. But, I will read it. Lastly, the the infatuation between Mina and Chemosh is still dis-jointed. Still don't understand it or like it.	negative
0	Dosg hates bed and refuses to use it	Nice concept. The dogs just hate the bed and won't go anywhere near it. I think its the smell Have tried putting blankets and stuff over top but to no avail.	negative
0	cambria sweatshirt	looked nothing like the display image for what was originally used for the product. symbol was very small, centered on top of sweatshirt. was greatly disappointed.	negative
1	Works like a champ	This bowl holds alot of water. I have a chocolate lab, doberman, and a Shitzpu and I only fill this up once a day. the heating element does a good job keeping the ice away. It only gets down to the 20s around here mind you.	positive
0	Don't be fooled!	Don't be fooled by the well known actors and the Academy Award Nomination. This one is really, really bad. The camera, music and story just float all over the place. Unless you like these surreal type of movies you will be fast asleep within 15-20 minutes.In all fairness I think this is another movie that some will get and others will not get. Seven Psychopaths is a similar type of movie.Maybe this type of movie is for you, but I have no patience for this slow moving type of story.	negative
1	LONG LIVE CANNIBAL CORPSE!	This video is for people who may not of ever seen cannibal corpse show live. Buy this you will not be sorry!	positive
1	Great =)	I was surprised at how fast the game arrived. I ordered it over the weekend and it was here by Thursday. It's also a great game, works just fine on my Xbox 360, and was totally worth the money. This is definitely why I love Amazon. Thanks a bunch =)	positive
0	wrong movie	The first two movies were great I loved the Mighty Duck movies but the third move was some old 50's movie when I played it I had to get another one and I had the same problem. I sent the movies back but have yet to get my money back.	negative
1	Audion't believe it!!!	This is an outstanding audio CD. The book is excellent;add to that a stunning audible performance and an interview with the author and you have hours of fascinating literature massaging your eardrums. Don't be surprised if you find yourself talking the scenic route so you can get a few more minutes of audio on your daily commute!	positive
0	To light for this chair	I got this chair in the mail today.It took me about 5-10 minutes to put together and it looked great. I shook it a bit to make sure it wouldn't fall apart and it is sturdy enough. It wobbled a bit when i sat in it because of my carpeted floor. Next i found I couldn't raise the chair without standing up first. Not a real problem, it happens with most of chairs i own. After than i found that i am to light to make this chair go back down. The cylinder is to strong and my 110 pounds is not enough weight to move it. That being said either is my brothers 160 pounds, he is heavy enough though to make it about half way down.I hope returning this chair is as easy as it was to put together.Pros:Sturdy chairlooks greateasy to put togetherCons:Wobbles on a carpet floorCylinder is to strong and the chair will not function properly for anyone UNDER 170 poundsThe seat back is a little low	negative
0	Very practical and easy to use	Although we're fairly avid do-it-yourselfers, this is our first laser level. It is very easy to use. I love the vertical/horizontal feature. It does require a small hole in the wall to hang it on, but we haven't found that to be a problem.It also works well lying on the floor for aligning tile, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for the average DIY-er.UPDATEI would no longer recommend this product. I realized a few months after purchase that the level isn't level!! I was painting stripes (horizontal) around a room, and discovered that the "level" line is off -- nearly an inch off by the time I made it across two walls.We no longer use this level because it is just "off." No good.	negative
1	Excellent Quick Workout	The Firm has produced quality videos and dvds for many years and this workout is no exception. There's more toning than cardio but it's still a good workout.	positive
1	Pretty darn cool!	My 3 year old is very, very smart. She was already counting, but thanks to Team Umizoomi she's counting to 40, recognizing patterns and shapes, and even making patterns of her own.I was dubious about Nick Jr shows because so many of them are just squeaky and irritating, but Team Umizoomi is awesome. The theme song and music within episodes is reminiscent of a They Might Be Giants album, and i really don't find it annoying at all.Also, the digital copy is clear and unblemished, in case you're concerned about that kind of thing. But since its streaming online, its portable and instantly available.	positive
0	Not for the bedroom	This clock met my requirements-continuously lighted dial, analog display, and easily set time and alarm. Unfortunately, the lighted dial was enough to illuminate an airport and it ticked ever so loudly. I suffered for three nights with no sleep and even tried to obscure the light with various forms of barrier. I finally returned the beast and am still searching for my mothers alarm clock.	negative
0	Disappointed	I was happy that this product was just as I thought it would look and the size I wanted, but it gained 2 hours of time overnight. The return process so far has been very easy and efficient. This process is not complete as I just discovered the problem and initiated the return. This was a Christmas gift.	negative
0	Terrible storyline with corny dialogue and no excitement.	I'll admit that the book could have been good. At first I thought it would fairly good. Once you get into it though, it will begin to bore you. The countless historical inaccuries as well as the corny dialogue makes this a terrible book. This doesn't even attempt to capture the spirit of the Titanic. If someone wants to write about the Titanic they should at least get the facts right.	negative
1	It is an intense book. Of dreams come true	This is the fist book I have ever read in my life. It sounds crazy but true. I am 17 and it was the most best thing. Now the book has gotten me more interested in Star Wars Frenziee. Ihave now bought 8 new Star Wars books. I am almost done with the trilogy. But overall that was the most inspiring and most influencial book or thing that has happened to me...................	positive
1	Classic gold.	There is so much history behind this album that you just dont have time here to explain. I will tell you this, buy it now! If you dont know a thing about salsa but want to, get this now. It's real latino love all the way, enjoy.	positive
1	Dr. Mom Otoscope -- Nice Product	Quality otoscope for the price. Comes with three different sized specula for different sized ear canals as well as an informative brochure with pictures for what too look for to determine if there is an ear infection, perforation, healthy ear drum etc. Easy to use and good visibility through the ear canal and to the ear drum.	positive
0	That star is for these reviews, not the movie	I can't recommend this movie. But that's not the only reason I'm writing.Why is it that when people think a movie is garbage, its defenders think those people need to "lighten up"? When "Bring It On" was released, a friend of mine was literally incensed that I thought it was junk. He said not every movie had to be "The Godfather" (just as someone here said they can't all be "Casablanca"). But does that mean every movie that isn't "The Godfather" has to be garbage? I like average, feel-good movies a lot, but it happened that I didn't think "Bring It On" was one of them. Maybe those of us who don't like "B.A.P.S." are using reasonable standards and simply want to see a good movie and didn't think this was it.	negative
1	1812 Overture is musically wonderful	I don't own this version of 1812 overture. Which I have heard is the best version. I can say this though. Get a version of 1812 Overture for yourself. It's my favorite classical piece. It's wonderful from beginning to end and has so many good things about it. "Capricco Italien" is also a wondeful piece. Pick up a vesion today.	positive
1	How Fi Dance!!	Whoa!! This DVD is tight work, for real. This DVD breaks everything DOWN SO WELL (BLASE, SIGNAL THA PLANE, LOG ON, ON LINE, EXCEPT THE HEEL TO TOE). I cannot wait for Vol. 2 to come out. The LEARN segment is cool for real, but the SEE segment is off tha chain. This DVD is worth the money if you are seriously trying to learn the dances, but if you are just trying to see the dances then this is not the DVD because the SEE segment is not showing anything but 'sex in the club with your clothes on'. I have never seen anything like this in any of the Reggae clubs that I have been to, but hey not every club is the same. How Fi Dance is cool with me.	positive
1	Beautiful, More than expected, A BEST BUY!!!	The statistics speak for themselves.18" viewable screen with only about an extra inch for box. Also a small footprint to boot. No pun intended but this is a bargain for anyone that works with graphics & has no time for distractions. Visual comfort with that little extra> good pricing!! Easy to set up, plug n play..If you have an older system, NEC has an easily downloadable driver for this NEC90 monitor. BUY IT NOW!!	positive
1	Unequaled Christian Fantasy	J.R.R. Tolkien was undoubtedtly the premier Christian fantasy writer with his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Apart from that, I have not found any Christian Fantasy to speak of. I think C.S. Lewis wrote some sci-fi stuff (but no fantasy).This book is an exception. Of course, it does not compare to Tolkiens work, but it is SO good. If you are looking for great Christian fantasy (or not a Christian, but just like fantasy), this book is a great read. Alcorn really brings this other-world to life. The words make this world so visual. It really is a theatre of the mind!	positive
0	Will not foam!	This is just a big bug sprayer! It will not foam! If you want a big bug sprayer buy this.	negative
1	The Versatile Vizsla an excellent comprehensive guide to the breed	I purchased this book to help me prepare me for ownership of a Vizsla puppy. The book is extremely comprehensive and a great reference manual for a range of issues from selecting your puppy to obedience and care throughout the life cycle of the dog. I particularly liked the information on selection of a puppy and the different considerations if wanting a dog for the field, show or obedience & agility. The detail on the breed standard was also very helpful.	positive
1	Fantastic!	I don't have the original packaging left, but I certainly would NOT put them in the microwave as they are double-wall construction with air space between the two layers. Although there is a small plastic "button" on the bottom of each glass to equalize the pressure, I wouldn't nuke them. They are wonderful to hold and feel. They keep hots hot, and colds cold. With very, very little outside condensation which is important in humid locations. Be careful of them and don't risk them in the dishwasher as they are fragile (like any other very thin glass and ARE very easy to break as they're very light too) and you'll be enjoying them for years. I have purchased this size as well as the larger ones for beer. And, despite my warnings above, I HAVE broken a few myself over the years--it's not hard to do!	positive
0	Shoddy; ripped zipper seam	Arrived with a 1-foot long rip along the zipper-vinyl seam, and the smallest amount of pressure caused it to rip further. Manufacturer needs to bond it better, or sew it rather than glue it. Another 3" tear in the top-side vinyl appeared less than a week later, with only a two-year-old's weight on it.(This item was returned for a full refund - thank you Amazon.)	negative
1	Good vibrations	The sound of these chimes is soothing and very rich for the size of the unit. I am very pleased with the mood that it sets.	positive
1	Awesome!!:)	This game is really awesome! I bought it for my daughter.She thinks she'll be addicted to this game. The animals are really cute! The only thing she doesn't like is that you can only see two pets at one time. Yes you can have more pets, but you can only see two (of your choice) pets out of their kennels at once. Other than that it's really neat!!!! We recomend it to so many people who don't have a dog or cat, and those who do!	positive
1	GRIP	These things are awesome. I've been weight training for a while but never really focused on my grip, thinking I got enough grip work from just hold onto a bar. However, I've been using these things 2x per week for about 4 weeks now and my grip strength has improved substantially. I initially bought the #1's but that was overly ambitious, and now I own the Sport, Trainers, 0.5s, and #1s. I use the Sport for a warm-up and the others for my work sets. I wasn't able to close the #1s with my right or left hand when I first bought them, but after working consistently with the lighter weights, I can now close the #1 with relative ease.	positive
0	Not a Traditional History	This book has some interesting sections, but those looking for a more traditional history, either chronological or thematic, will be disappointed. I read the entire book and it is consistent throughout in reading more like a casual essay or a collection of thoughts, loosely structured around the chronology of the Ottoman Empire (the subtitle "A History of the Ottoman Empire" would better have been dropped). The specifics of historical events are often left out, making it difficult to investigate things further if one wished. Additionally, and a big sin in history works in my opinion, there were constant references to various regions and cities with extremely little in the way of historical maps to help the reader.	negative
0	DO NOT BUY, unless:	You don't mind replacing them every 1-6 months. Apparently I don't, since I've owned a half-dozen logitech joysticks.The pros:Great feel, nice arrangement and quantity of buttons.The cons:Logitech joysticks all suffer from faulty hardware. The joystick senses movement with potentiometers mounted on a gimbal, and it's these potentiometers that wear out. They get very noisy (which translates into my airplane starts spinning uncontrollably at random intervals) and drift, and there's only so much contact cleaner can do. However, Logitech will replace your faulty joystick (to my knowledge). Alternatively, I've just been exchanging them at a 3rd party retailer.	negative
0	A waste of time and money...	I anxiously awaited Ralph's sophmore album and rushed out to by "It's Goin' Down" the day it was released. What a waste of time it was. Considering that there was a three year period between this album and his first, I expected more instead of this haphazard mess. The songs were poorly produced and lacking in lyrical content. The best part of this album is when it's finished playing. I can't say enough how disappointed I was. "It's Goin' Down" is definitely not Ralph at his best.	negative

1	Breathtaking, emotional, "VIVID", one of the best.	This book was wonderfully written. It takes you deep into the heart of the south in a time when the South was the true essence of living life to the fullest. I could really see this world come to life. I read Little Alters Everywhere first and in doing that it made this book even more wonderful. This book was crazy at times, but that is what made it come to life. It proves that love although painful can overcome and the bond between a mother and daughter might be forgotten, but is always there.	positive

0	Bummer	I was extrememly diasppointed when I received this book. I could have purchased this in any bookstore without paying shipping and handling. The book is small and compact, but thick, making the text so small I can't even read it. Also, for a cookbook, the book doesn't stay open, so you have to bookmark the page while using a recipe and then handle the book over and over again while cooking or baking, resulting in excessive handwashing. Also, the pages are cut off at the end to make the text fit, making the page look odd. I would have sent it back, but the total s$h would have cost almost as much as the book. I wouldn't even gift this book to anyone. What a disappointment!!	negative

1	best acid reducer available OTC	See my review of prilosec at the 42 box count.... I was given a Gold Box coupon that made this smaller size box even cheaper per pill than the larger box. Ordinarily, I buy the larger size for that reason only. Prilosec, itself, is an outstanding acid reducer. I highly recommend it for those folks who have acid reflux (burping up acid when lying down or bending over).	positive
0	Black oily substance all over crate and ignorant packing method	When I opened the box, I was unaware that they had put black oily grease all over the crate. Maybe there was a reason for this. Although I cannot think of one. And even if there was, WARN YOUR CUSTOMER. I suddenly had black grease all over me and everything I was wearing. I am still finding gobs of it hidden in places on the crate. I don't dare touch it for fear more will come off.Secondly, the partition is packaged in the middle of the crate. Getting the crate assembled and the partition out is a needless exercise in frustration. The hooks on the partition keep getting stuck in either the roof or wall of the crate. This was pointless since the partition could easily have been packaged with the liner. It took me 20 frustrating minutes to do what would have only taken me two if this was not how they packaged it.	negative
0	Waste of money...	My daughter is a huge fan of the Bratz and really wanted this item. The first one we bought didn't work at all and we had to return it. The second one we bought worked but only and only if the radio was playing and she was standing pretty close to it.	negative
0	Definitely a knock-off	Well, i received my clock and it is definitely a Clocky counterfeit. I would be pretty pissed if i was paying the $40 or $50 the clocks are currently set at, but i'm not too upset because i bought it when it was on some weird sale so i only paid $7.50 for the thing (also, i had been forewarned that others had received fake clockys). I am annoyed, however, that they claimed authenticity. At any rate, i see my $7.50 faux-Clocky as a good experiment to see if Clocky would work for me without being out $40 if it doesn't.Edit: This broke 2 days after i wrote the review (ie after 8 days of use). One of the wheels broke apart. I did like it for those 8 days, though. If you are interested in this clock i would recommend buying one from a bricks-and-mortar store where you can be assured of its authenticity and you can return it if it breaks.	negative

1	Great Recorder - Minus Incompatible Media	I love this recorder! I never knew how convienient life could be by recording some of my favorite shows to DVD-RAM and watching them in the order and way that I like. This is especially handy for those who enjoy cooking shows.Overall this is the most best system I have found, but I have had issues with finding compatible DVD-R media. The benefit with using DVD-R over DVD-RAM is you can "finalize" the DVD-R's and use them on any DVD player that supports the DVD-R format including computers and some older players.I have used 4 types of DVD-R media with 3 of the varieties not being compatible with this recorder. I have found that the TDK brand of media works every single time and works great on all other DVD players I have tested a finalized disc with.I would highly recommend this unit for anyone who has a TiVo or other DVR and wants to have the same type of functionality of playback while still keeping space on your DVR for more recordings.	positive
0	bad bad bad	The historical aspect is a rip-off. Names are changed, but the premise is totally unoriginal. Also, I felt betrayed when the characters who started out as 'cool' turned out to be crazy, violent individuals who suddenly didn't make sense in the story or world such as a Dwarf who didn't have a problem with his army slaughtering children. The general who we're supposed to hope succeeds leads an army of child/women killers. And, the whole trilogy seems to say the evil guys are OK because they're the 'civilized' ones. There are plenty of better Forgotten Realms novels out there. Save yourself some time and skip this series.	negative
0	AC adapter gave out	I have been using this product for 10 months.

I have so many pictures, music and school information from my undergrad and graduate studies. I should NOT have to buy a backup for my backup. Ridiculous. It seems this is a common problem for this product as there are reviews all over the internet about the same problem. I will try to call WD (despite the other reviews on here) or try to by a generic AC adapter. In the future, I would not recommend WD - avoid!	negative

I paid $1.98 and got my money's worth. Some of the activities are thoughtful and creative.

1	AN EMOTIONAL DECONSTRUCTION OF A DIRECTOR GONE MAD	Like Hickenlooper's HEARTS OF DARKNESS ABOUT THE MAKING OF APOCALYPSE NOW, this film is another powerful examination of a major Hollywood director at the end of his rope. Rather than the Phillipines, this time the setting is a small Texas town, and like an onion, the layers of fiction and reality are beautifully unlayered as we see how the filmmaking process comes to turn a cast, a crew and a community upside down. If you think THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is a classic, then you'll have to see how it came to be in PICTURE THIS...	positive

Ms. Truman, could you please (...) ME instead?

I had to read this book for school. I don't know WHY. All the characters were identical, the plot was confusing, and the end had no real explanation whatsoever. It took me a MONTH to read this garbage. I think she's just riding on the wave of her Daddy's fame from his presidency and never actually bothered to take writing lessons.

Self Serving and Disappionting

And I was rather put off by how unkind she was to poor Brian Jones. You would think with all her problems she would be more compassionate.When she talks about Brian Jones losing his looks and being dissolute I couldn't help but look at the pictures she had included of herself and noting that by the time of his death her own looks, such as they were, had run screaming from the room.All and all I found her extremely unlikable and more than likely a little bit crazy.She also spent quite a bit of time bragging about her "career" which , to most of us in America consists of a couple of appearances on "AbFab".

Fun, with a couple of caveats

This little table is cool and fun, as long as you are sitting close to the ground, and the ground is soft, but firm. For me, the caveats were that I needed to open the slots for the stems of the glasses a bit to match my acrylic wine glasses, and I made a little accessory so I could pound the stake into the ground with a rubber mallet without damaging the threaded rod onto which the tabletop screws. It amounted to a 3" piece of 2x2 with a 3/4" hole in it and an additional 1/4" hole to accommodate the threaded rod.All in all, I like this and will make use of it every time we go see Shakespeare Dallas in the park.

Well, it does what it says it does. But its resolution is low, and half the time the computer thinks it is constantly being plugged in and unplugged.

I searched online, and it appears that you can get it to work on Vista, but you have to jump through more hoops then a circus animal.

Softpaw is WRONG. This Tea is Awesome

I have tried every flavored tea known to mankind that I have access to and by far Walters Bay is the best for flavor AND for value. Raspberry, Mango, Peach, and Plain iced are all wonderful and 1 pouch will brew 2.5 gallons of tea. 2.5 GALLONS! I bought the flavor sampler from them and each version yielded the same result. Yes its a dark brew but so what...for me that translates into my tea dollar stretching much farther than ANY of their competition. I am not a tea snob by any means and ONLY drink iced versions. Period. So it may be that for the tea snob inclined the flavor, body, bouquet, balance, yadda yadda may disagree with you and if so, so be it. For me, Walters Bay is a perfect and very economical replacement for Paradise Tropical, China Mist, and all other flavored variants. And for the tea snobs out their, Walters Bay Tea has won multiple awards details of which can be found at their website.

Already a Favorite

I'm only a few chapters in now but I am already sold. This is one of those books that combines personal anecdotes with delectable morsels of historical trivia. Matthew Polly weaves easily through both, stitching together an instant classic. His writing style is humorous and informative. Its sort of like combining the History channel with Comedy Central, then peppering the stew with some A & E biography. In just 3 chapters, I already feel like I've been schooled in Chinese culture, Chinese martial arts, Eastern philosophy, English writing, World history, and comedy. A fantastic read. Five stars.

Angry and Hysterical

I tried to read this book. I failed. It was so angry and hysterical in tone-- the author obviously despises Christianity and carries a huge grudge against every bad thing ever attributed to the religion. I DO believe there is a LOT of good evidence behind the "Jesus never existed" idea, but I wouldn't believe any of it coming from someone so obviously biased.

Amazing that when REAL reviews are written, Zag & Tong resort to using cronies to counter the latest and most honest reviews (for example, Malloy & Goldberg work for the same company as them -- Ignition Partners).

Bad hiss with this headset, will return

I am disappointed with Sennheiser regarding the RS120. Constant hiss and loss of signal when moving. I had a Radio Shack 90 MHz earphones, much cheaper that have better sound quality and very reliable. Unfortunately, they no longer sell this, as I have worn out the charging system and the unit needs help. I will return the Sennheiser RS120 and hope to find one more reliable and hiss free.

This book had me at "hello"! Unfortunately, it couldn't live up to its strong start. I read the whole thing to see how it ended... but I enjoyed so little about this book, that I'm really surprised by all the hooplah it's received. It was boring, had many hard-to-believe plot twists, and I just couldn't get into (or even like!) any of the characters. There was nothing satisfying about this book on any level. Yawn.

A truly touching tale of love

Mina is a city-girl whose tragic loss of her husband has left her in a state of spiritual and emotional distress. She is led on a path back to God, love and happiness by her guardian angel Sam, who proves that miracles do happen in this day and age.This is a beautifully written story of loss, hope and God's love. At times I laughed out loud, at times I cried, but by the end of the book I felt as if I was a part of something really special. The characters are real, and endearing, and the story is intriguing. This is an excellent love story.

At Hitler's Side

A somewhat disappointing book. As Hitler's Luftwaffe Adjutant, Von Below hade an insider view of the Fuhrer's wartime entourage. The book is very light on details, a superficial overlook of Von Below's experiences. This is a fatal flaw for a book of this type. I wanted to know what someone who was there saw and heard. The casual information provided is available from a zillion other sources. It is perhaps understandable. Von Below's notes taken at the time were destroyed. He reconstructed details from memory for the book. Unfortunately, it does not make for an informative, interesting read.

Straight ahead Bach.

I enjoyed the understated, slightly rough-hewn elegance of Goode's set of Beethoven sonatas, and figured his Bach would be worth a go. It has all of the qualities I appreciated in his Beethoven playing: no fuss, no muss; perhaps more head than heart, but certainly not imposing or dry; and, above all, a willingness to let the music speak for itself. Sometimes it seems a bit lacking in dynamics, but I would much prefer this to turning Bach into churning melodrama, as some pianists are wont to do. The recorded sound seems slightly on the dry side, but perfectly listenable.This is as good as Bach gets on the piano, and it's very good indeed. I also bought Volume One based on this, and it's just as satisfying -- these are now my preferred listening for the Partitas on piano. To get the best set on harpsichord, try Trevor Pinnock's recent recording, which I found to be an equally pleasing performance.

Young rehashing Young

Politics aside, most of the songs on here are not very original. As I listened to it, it seemed to me that Young was rehashing or recycling some of his earlier songs and licks. I think the only reason this CD got the press it did was because of the politics of the lyrics and Young flip-flopping on his earlier support of the war on terror (just like most of the Democrats). This is only for hardcore Young fans.

Beware: GamePad "not supported." Aspyr support disappoints

I have really enjoyed this game on my brother's X-box. The Aspyr version promised similar game play but with improved graphics (the graphics are great)--and I didn't need to buy an X-box to enjoy it. I bought the iShockII GamePads to facilitate cooperative (2-person) play. The program automatically identifies the controllers and the manual tells you how to set them up. However they don't work. The characters always walk and never run when the controllers do not emulate the keyboard. This makes it impossible to sucessfully complete many levels.I wrote tech support and got this completely apathetic and misleading answer "I can tell you that The Lord of the Rings; The Return of the King doesn't support gamepad or joystick play." I think Ratburt is the tech support manager there.

This episode gets a C- grade and is ranked 66th out of 80

Chasing the stolen vessel Aurora, the U.S.S. Enterprise rescues the thieves just before the Aurora is destroyed. The group is led by Dr. Sevrin in a search for a mythological planet named Eden, a planet reputed to be a paradise. Since one of Sevrin's group is the son of a Federation ambassador, Sevrin is held in protective custody while his followers are permitted to be free aboard ship. But when Spock is able to deduce Eden's location, Sevrin's followers free Sevrin and take over the starship. Reaching Eden, Sevrin takes his people down to the surface in a shuttlecraft. When Kirk leads a landing party in pursuit, they find that the planet's vegetation all secretes deadly acid, and the fruits are all poisonous. Madly refusing to believe Kirk, Sevrin bites a piece of fruit and dies immediately. With his death, his followers are taken back aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Suction cups suck... in a bad way.

I purchased a two-pack of these suction cup fender straps. I'm now down to one as the other is probably well on its way to the Atlantic Ocean about now (along with the fender). Thought it was a great idea, but it just didn't work out. I applied the suction cups to a clean, smooth (gel coat) surface, expecting it to hold... and it did, for about 15 minutes, then was gone. I removed the survivor and secured the fender the traditional way, with a line and cleat. To be fair, the water was pretty choppy due to a bunch of jet-skis creating unwelcome wakes. The boat was beating against the dock pretty good. But, a traditionally secured fender would have survived the punishment.

Good Book

This is a light and easy read that covers the basic science behind EKGs and how to interpret them. I bought this book as a second resource for PA school, and I am glad I did. Our 'assigned' class text was terrible, and I thought I was doomed until I found this book. It helped me to grasp the basics since I didn't have much prior experience. This book would be great for someone that needs an easy and fun read on how to approach an EKG even if you've never done it before. This book doesn't cover every single higher concept, but it should teach you what you need to know and give you a foundation to understand the rest.

It is really interesting to picture a brothel turning the local economy around in a one horse Southern town that has seen better days. Enjoyable read even though you just want to shake the main characters sometimes and give them a good "talking to"! Power Path to Love

A little better than the first...

At least something happened in Part 2 that made me want to pick it up and finish. Not at all like Part 1. Character development is great but you must throw in a little adventure, too. After all, this is Dragonlance, isn't it? Am I anxiously awaiting the finale'? No. But, I will read it. Lastly, the the infatuation between Mina and Chemosh is still dis-jointed. Still don't understand it or like it.

This bowl holds alot of water. I have a chocolate lab, doberman, and a Shitzpu and I only fill this up once a day. the heating element does a good job keeping the ice away. It only gets down to the 20s around here mind you.

Don't be fooled!

Don't be fooled by the well known actors and the Academy Award Nomination. This one is really, really bad. The camera, music and story just float all over the place. Unless you like these surreal type of movies you will be fast asleep within 15-20 minutes.In all fairness I think this is another movie that some will get and others will not get. Seven Psychopaths is a similar type of movie.Maybe this type of movie is for you, but I have no patience for this slow moving type of story.

To light for this chair

I got this chair in the mail today.It took me about 5-10 minutes to put together and it looked great. I shook it a bit to make sure it wouldn't fall apart and it is sturdy enough. It wobbled a bit when i sat in it because of my carpeted floor. Next i found I couldn't raise the chair without standing up first. Not a real problem, it happens with most of chairs i own. After than i found that i am to light to make this chair go back down. The cylinder is to strong and my 110 pounds is not enough weight to move it. That being said either is my brothers 160 pounds, he is heavy enough though to make it about half way down.I hope returning this chair is as easy as it was to put together.Pros:Sturdy chairlooks greateasy to put togetherCons:Wobbles on a carpet floorCylinder is to strong and the chair will not function properly for anyone UNDER 170 poundsThe seat back is a little low

Very practical and easy to use

Although we're fairly avid do-it-yourselfers, this is our first laser level. It is very easy to use. I love the vertical/horizontal feature. It does require a small hole in the wall to hang it on, but we haven't found that to be a problem.It also works well lying on the floor for aligning tile, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for the average DIY-er.**UPDATE**I would no longer recommend this product. I realized a few months after purchase that the level isn't level!! I was painting stripes (horizontal) around a room, and discovered that the "level" line is off -- nearly an inch off by the time I made it across two walls.We no longer use this level because it is just "off." No good.

Pretty darn cool!

My 3 year old is very, very smart. She was already counting, but thanks to Team Umizoomi she's counting to 40, recognizing patterns and shapes, and even making patterns of her own.I was dubious about Nick Jr shows because so many of them are just squeaky and irritating, but Team Umizoomi is awesome. The theme song and music within episodes is reminiscent of a They Might Be Giants album, and i really don't find it annoying at all.Also, the digital copy is clear and unblemished, in case you're concerned about that kind of thing. But since its streaming online, its portable and instantly available.

Not for the bedroom

This clock met my requirements-continuously lighted dial, analog display, and easily set time and alarm. Unfortunately, the lighted dial was enough to illuminate an airport and it ticked ever so loudly. I suffered for three nights with no sleep and even tried to obscure the light with various forms of barrier. I finally returned the beast and am still searching for my mothers alarm clock.

Terrible storyline with corny dialogue and no excitement.

I'll admit that the book could have been good. At first I thought it would fairly good. Once you get into it though, it will begin to bore you. The countless historical inaccuries as well as the corny dialogue makes this a terrible book. This doesn't even attempt to capture the spirit of the Titanic. If someone wants to write about the Titanic they should at least get the facts right.

That star is for these reviews, not the movie

I can't recommend this movie. But that's not the only reason I'm writing.Why is it that when people think a movie is garbage, its defenders think those people need to "lighten up"? When "Bring It On" was released, a friend of mine was literally incensed that I thought it was junk. He said not every movie had to be "The Godfather" (just as someone here said they can't all be "Casablanca"). But does that mean every movie that isn't "The Godfather" has to be garbage? I like average, feel-good movies a lot, but it happened that I didn't think "Bring It On" was one of them. Maybe those of us who don't like "B.A.P.S." are using reasonable standards and simply want to see a good movie and didn't think this was it.

It's wonderful from beginning to end and has so many good things about it. "Capricco Italien" is also a wondeful piece. Pick up a vesion today.

How Fi Dance!!

Whoa!! This DVD is tight work, for real. This DVD breaks everything DOWN SO WELL (BLASE, SIGNAL THA PLANE, LOG ON, ON LINE, EXCEPT THE HEEL TO TOE). I cannot wait for Vol. 2 to come out. The LEARN segment is cool for real, but the SEE segment is off tha chain. This DVD is worth the money if you are seriously trying to learn the dances, but if you are just trying to see the dances then this is not the DVD because the SEE segment is not showing anything but 'sex in the club with your clothes on'. I have never seen anything like this in any of the Reggae clubs that I have been to, but hey not every club is the same. How Fi Dance is cool with me.

Unequaled Christian Fantasy

J.R.R. Tolkien was undoubtedtly the premier Christian fantasy writer with his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Apart from that, I have not found any Christian Fantasy to speak of. I think C.S. Lewis wrote some sci-fi stuff (but no fantasy).This book is an exception. Of course, it does not compare to Tolkiens work, but it is SO good. If you are looking for great Christian fantasy (or not a Christian, but just like fantasy), this book is a great read. Alcorn really brings this other-world to life. The words make this world so visual. It really is a theatre of the mind!

The Versatile Vizsla an excellent comprehensive guide to the breed

I purchased this book to help me prepare me for ownership of a Vizsla puppy. The book is extremely comprehensive and a great reference manual for a range of issues from selecting your puppy to obedience and care throughout the life cycle of the dog. I particularly liked the information on selection of a puppy and the different considerations if wanting a dog for the field, show or obedience & agility. The detail on the breed standard was also very helpful.

Fantastic!

I don't have the original packaging left, but I certainly would NOT put them in the microwave as they are double-wall construction with air space between the two layers. Although there is a small plastic "button" on the bottom of each glass to equalize the pressure, I wouldn't nuke them. They are wonderful to hold and feel. They keep hots hot, and colds cold. With very, very little outside condensation which is important in humid locations. Be careful of them and don't risk them in the dishwasher as they are fragile (like any other very thin glass and ARE very easy to break as they're very light too) and you'll be enjoying them for years. I have purchased this size as well as the larger ones for beer. And, despite my warnings above, I HAVE broken a few myself over the years--it's not hard to do!

Shoddy; ripped zipper seam

Arrived with a 1-foot long rip along the zipper-vinyl seam, and the smallest amount of pressure caused it to rip further. Manufacturer needs to bond it better, or sew it rather than glue it. Another 3" tear in the top-side vinyl appeared less than a week later, with only a two-year-old's weight on it.(This item was returned for a full refund - thank you Amazon.)

Other than that it's really neat!!!! We recomend it to so many people who don't have a dog or cat, and those who do!

GRIP

These things are awesome. I've been weight training for a while but never really focused on my grip, thinking I got enough grip work from just hold onto a bar. However, I've been using these things 2x per week for about 4 weeks now and my grip strength has improved substantially. I initially bought the #1's but that was overly ambitious, and now I own the Sport, Trainers, 0.5s, and #1s. I use the Sport for a warm-up and the others for my work sets. I wasn't able to close the #1s with my right or left hand when I first bought them, but after working consistently with the lighter weights, I can now close the #1 with relative ease.

Not a Traditional History

This book has some interesting sections, but those looking for a more traditional history, either chronological or thematic, will be disappointed. I read the entire book and it is consistent throughout in reading more like a casual essay or a collection of thoughts, loosely structured around the chronology of the Ottoman Empire (the subtitle "A History of the Ottoman Empire" would better have been dropped). The specifics of historical events are often left out, making it difficult to investigate things further if one wished. Additionally, and a big sin in history works in my opinion, there were constant references to various regions and cities with extremely little in the way of historical maps to help the reader.

DO NOT BUY, unless:

You don't mind replacing them every 1-6 months. Apparently I don't, since I've owned a half-dozen logitech joysticks.The pros:Great feel, nice arrangement and quantity of buttons.The cons:Logitech joysticks all suffer from faulty hardware. The joystick senses movement with potentiometers mounted on a gimbal, and it's these potentiometers that wear out. They get very noisy (which translates into my airplane starts spinning uncontrollably at random intervals) and drift, and there's only so much contact cleaner can do. However, Logitech will replace your faulty joystick (to my knowledge). Alternatively, I've just been exchanging them at a 3rd party retailer.

A waste of time and money...

I anxiously awaited Ralph's sophmore album and rushed out to by "It's Goin' Down" the day it was released. What a waste of time it was. Considering that there was a three year period between this album and his first, I expected more instead of this haphazard mess. The songs were poorly produced and lacking in lyrical content. The best part of this album is when it's finished playing. I can't say enough how disappointed I was. "It's Goin' Down" is definitely not Ralph at his best.

Breathtaking, emotional, "VIVID", one of the best.

This book was wonderfully written. It takes you deep into the heart of the south in a time when the South was the true essence of living life to the fullest. I could really see this world come to life. I read Little Alters Everywhere first and in doing that it made this book even more wonderful. This book was crazy at times, but that is what made it come to life. It proves that love although painful can overcome and the bond between a mother and daughter might be forgotten, but is always there.

Bummer

I was extrememly diasppointed when I received this book. I could have purchased this in any bookstore without paying shipping and handling. The book is small and compact, but thick, making the text so small I can't even read it. Also, for a cookbook, the book doesn't stay open, so you have to bookmark the page while using a recipe and then handle the book over and over again while cooking or baking, resulting in excessive handwashing. Also, the pages are cut off at the end to make the text fit, making the page look odd. I would have sent it back, but the total s$h would have cost almost as much as the book. I wouldn't even gift this book to anyone. What a disappointment!!

best acid reducer available OTC

See my review of prilosec at the 42 box count.... I was given a Gold Box coupon that made this smaller size box even cheaper per pill than the larger box. Ordinarily, I buy the larger size for that reason only. Prilosec, itself, is an outstanding acid reducer. I highly recommend it for those folks who have acid reflux (burping up acid when lying down or bending over).

Black oily substance all over crate and ignorant packing method

When I opened the box, I was unaware that they had put black oily grease all over the crate. Maybe there was a reason for this. Although I cannot think of one. And even if there was, WARN YOUR CUSTOMER. I suddenly had black grease all over me and everything I was wearing. I am still finding gobs of it hidden in places on the crate. I don't dare touch it for fear more will come off.Secondly, the partition is packaged in the middle of the crate. Getting the crate assembled and the partition out is a needless exercise in frustration. The hooks on the partition keep getting stuck in either the roof or wall of the crate. This was pointless since the partition could easily have been packaged with the liner. It took me 20 frustrating minutes to do what would have only taken me two if this was not how they packaged it.

Definitely a knock-off

Well, i received my clock and it is definitely a Clocky counterfeit. I would be pretty pissed if i was paying the $40 or $50 the clocks are currently set at, but i'm not too upset because i bought it when it was on some weird sale so i only paid $7.50 for the thing (also, i had been forewarned that others had received fake clockys). I am annoyed, however, that they claimed authenticity. At any rate, i see my $7.50 faux-Clocky as a good experiment to see if Clocky would work for me without being out $40 if it doesn't.Edit: This broke 2 days after i wrote the review (ie after 8 days of use). One of the wheels broke apart. I did like it for those 8 days, though. If you are interested in this clock i would recommend buying one from a bricks-and-mortar store where you can be assured of its authenticity and you can return it if it breaks.

Great Recorder - Minus Incompatible Media

I love this recorder! I never knew how convienient life could be by recording some of my favorite shows to DVD-RAM and watching them in the order and way that I like. This is especially handy for those who enjoy cooking shows.Overall this is the most best system I have found, but I have had issues with finding compatible DVD-R media. The benefit with using DVD-R over DVD-RAM is you can "finalize" the DVD-R's and use them on any DVD player that supports the DVD-R format including computers and some older players.I have used 4 types of DVD-R media with 3 of the varieties not being compatible with this recorder. I have found that the TDK brand of media works every single time and works great on all other DVD players I have tested a finalized disc with.I would highly recommend this unit for anyone who has a TiVo or other DVR and wants to have the same type of functionality of playback while still keeping space on your DVR for more recordings.

bad bad bad

The historical aspect is a rip-off. Names are changed, but the premise is totally unoriginal. Also, I felt betrayed when the characters who started out as 'cool' turned out to be crazy, violent individuals who suddenly didn't make sense in the story or world such as a Dwarf who didn't have a problem with his army slaughtering children. The general who we're supposed to hope succeeds leads an army of child/women killers. And, the whole trilogy seems to say the evil guys are OK because they're the 'civilized' ones. There are plenty of better Forgotten Realms novels out there. Save yourself some time and skip this series.

AC adapter gave out

I have been using this product for 10 months. I used it one day and then two days later I plug it in and the AC adapter would no longer light up green thus I couldn't access my 300+ GB of information that I have stored on it. I have so many pictures, music and school information from my undergrad and graduate studies. I should NOT have to buy a backup for my backup. Ridiculous. It seems this is a common problem for this product as there are reviews all over the internet about the same problem. I will try to call WD (despite the other reviews on here) or try to by a generic AC adapter. In the future, I would not recommend WD - avoid!

AN EMOTIONAL DECONSTRUCTION OF A DIRECTOR GONE MAD

Like Hickenlooper's HEARTS OF DARKNESS ABOUT THE MAKING OF APOCALYPSE NOW, this film is another powerful examination of a major Hollywood director at the end of his rope. Rather than the Phillipines, this time the setting is a small Texas town, and like an onion, the layers of fiction and reality are beautifully unlayered as we see how the filmmaking process comes to turn a cast, a crew and a community upside down. If you think THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is a classic, then you'll have to see how it came to be in PICTURE THIS...
