1	Received as ordered.	Now they are made in Brazil, but the work fine. Wife was tickled to have a sharp pair of pinking shears again.	positive
1	Faux Japanese, like the film	Pleasant, sometimes haunting, especially suited for relaxing or dinner music. If you want authentic, search out Koto music.	positive
0	Green screen	This worked well for about a week. My older unit was glitchy, causing the screen to distort and lose the signal. Initially, this unit was far better, until it began to imbue everything with a greenish hue that comes and goes as it pleases. With our system at church, this has NEVER happened before, so I have to place the blame on this unit. I'm outside the window to return it, so I"ll have to buy a new, different brand.	negative
1	Best Bean Soup in a Bag	This soup has fantastic flavor. I did not add the canned tomatoes but I did add all the extra vegetables in the my fridge.	positive
0	Not enjoyable at all	Russell Watson's precarious singing does no justice to the music. To tell the truth, Watson simply does not have the voice and technique to perform such a kind of demanding music. He merely embarrasses himself with each attempt. A perverse recording which can bring more laughter of ridicule than any genuine sense of enjoyment on the part of the listener.	negative
0	Never returned a book until now	This book is horribly written. There are glaring grammar errors which make the book impossible to read. Hopefully the proofers have been sent back to kinder-care. Moreover, there are sections in the book where they cut-and-copied the syntax explanation into the example section. But they forgot to change the text to an example! Look at the section on xinetd for an example. This one had to go back. This is too bad. We really need an good book on this topic. Sorry Mr. Ziegler, get better proof readers for the 3rd edition.	negative
0	Couldn't really say....	I can't say really, whether the book is awesome or not, as I didn't finish reading it. I would appreciate a rating system, much like the movie industry uses, that would let me know BEFORE I purchase an item if it may contain matter that I find objectionable. That way, I'd save my money for something that I would actually end up enjoying.This book contained extremely strong language, and sexual situations through out the first few chapters, so I didn't read any further and couldn't tell you if it was great, or if it contained any other objectionable material.	negative
0	Parts Missing!! :(	This is the second box I purchased. The first box had everything. The second is missing some important pieces: one 10 gph flow control, one filter washer, one 3/4-inch hose thread swivel to 1/2-inch compression adaptor	negative
1	A wonderful memory	This was the best book I ever read. It touched my heart and I fell in love with the charcters If you haven't read it yet do. Clint and Mourning will stay with you forever I only wish it were still in print.	positive
1	Great	Recieved DVD and watched.Blast: Live. My (sober) verdict: If you don't have an emotional response with the hairs standing up: your dead, deaf or your sound systems in bad shape. None of the POed cat sound of the traditional dirges.	positive
1	Just what I needed	My Sunbeam Oskar finally died (20+ years old) and I was disappointed to find that I couldn't get another (any wonder). I've looked at and tried several other brands and models and this the most comparable in performance, capacity. The storage space needed is much less due to it's vertical lines, great benefit.	positive
1	This is a terrific book!	I have enjoyed reading "The Nanny Diaries". The comical character Nanny really deals with some typical nanny issues, as well as ones that I thankfully have never dealt with. Bravo Emma and Nicola! This book really is for anyone that enjoys laughing.	positive
0	1/2 a star in reality...perhpas	A dominant album of sophisticated licks and hooks. But wait? If I remember upon my last intimate hearing it really voracoisly sucked. Why? Yes I'm being overtly critical but the master of psche (syd) is all but gone and his presence is unheard on this album...WHISH YOU WERE HERE...	negative
1	Easy Reading	I thought the subject was handled with a open writing style that is seldom seen in today's book world.	positive
0	Man oh Man	I usually don't do this but I will just come out and say it. This CD is wack. This rapper is wack. Who "discovered" this lame excuse for talent? He always has that (...) grin on his face (...). I know yall have seen this on videos and stuff. Plus folk are praising him like he was amazing when he is barely mediocre. Buy if you want to but also think about why he put Nate Dogg on his first single. His rap is weak and his voice is not too appealing either. If you are 12 then this is right up your alley. It doesn't even have any good club like songs. I hope he retires after this album. You BETTER listen to it before even thinking about buying the album.	negative
1	Nice	I ordered this for my niece, it arrived quickly, and in great condition. And she loves it. Thanks	positive
0	MISLEADING: Arguments are very weak	I am required to read this book as part of an undergraduate class. I find that there are many weak arguments in her book. The weakest of all and the most obvious is the weak supportive argument.Many times I flipped to the bibliography and found out that the source for the argument is weak. For example, she used an article from 'Playboy' magazine to support her argument.This is an issue if one understand how to research paper and presented a well-rounded arguments. It would be good if she usejournal paper / books to support her arguments.Another issue even when she use journal paper, she mis-interpret the conclusion. For example, strong positive correlation only shows that both variables are related. However, Levine interprets data as if one variable causes the other.	negative
1	A nice tool for projects you need a smooth, clean and fast edges.	So far I haven't really had a chance to use it. I can tell it's design and construction is well thought out and the blades are extremely sharp.Any craft or sewing project should be easy and less time consumption and make it more of a pleasure other then a chore.	positive
1	Benny and Joon	I'd forgotten what a great movie this is! Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Aidan Quinn are fabulous. This most untraditional romance will really touch your heart.	positive
0	Wah, Wah, Wah,	I'm Richard Chesnoff, and I hate France! Ooooh, look at me, I wrote a book about it. 208 pages of me complaining! I even tell how to insult them! Look, now you can say "Are you ill?" to an arrogant French man just for not smiling at you! Illogical, you bet it is!Yeah, what? Come on, this is mindless junk. Snooty French people, not supporting the war, and pampering every American tourist. For that, Richard Chesnoff must complain.This god-awful book should never have been written. Someone please get him (Chesnoff) a fresh diaper, or maybe we'll be treated to "The stupidness of Bulgaria, and why the feeling is mutual".	negative
1	Entertaining and educational	My son is not even 2 yet and knows every song!! He asks for "Babies" first thing in the morning and before bed at night. Other than Sesame Street, we don't allow him to spend a lot of time in front of the t.v., however, he will sit and watch this one over and over and we feel secure in letting him do it. It is a video every parent of an infant/toddler should have in their library!!	positive
0	The novelty wears off quickly...	It's weird. If you're like me, when you're interested in a game, you go online and research. Check the reviews etc. the problem is: there's just no consistency on these reviews! So I took a calculated risk and bought Godzilla: Domination. Not the best use of your hard earned gaming dollars. The graphics are nice, the control is so-so, the sound, very simplistic. The real problem is that this game is quickly reduced to button-mashing. There are only a few basic moves available but they are all the moves you need to beat this game in about 20 minutes. That's right, TWENTY MINUTES! You can literally trap an opponent in a corner and just never let them up. BOOOOORING! The special moves are cool but you don't need them, in fact it will take you longer to learn how to use the special moves effectively than it will to beat the game by simply pressing "A" or "B" repeatedly. Take a pass, trust me on this.	negative
1	More Bang Less Buck	This camera gives you a lot of bang for less of your bucks. This feature-rich camera could easily sell for much more. It's a digital camera secret. And Olympus let the cat out of the bag.To really enjoy the features and benefits of this unit, please read the instructions and become familiar with the functions and features.This camera can make an amateur look good and a professional even better with just a little tweaking and fine tuning.Pictures are nothing more than a painting, a painting with light.Paint it with your Olympus Camedia C-3020 Digital Camera.	positive
1	Excellent edition of the complete works	If you want the complete works on a budget, this is the best choice. It's the full Arden text, with a good glossary at the end of the book. Each play begins with a brief introductory note. You don't get the extensive footnotes of the individual Arden plays, but for many readers, that's a bonus.	positive
1	Exceptional	For all men of every race, this book speaks directly to them. In society today, fatherhood has to be defined accordingly. This book does just that. Remembering to include the heavenly father in all endeavors, the author expresses this as well as teaches men!	positive
0	Think twice and then go to your local ACE to purchase a composter.	Took us three days to figure out how to put the whole thing together. Needed to bring out the entire tool chest to do so and make one trip to the hardware store for parts.Item looks like the picture, however, it is heavy plastic and feels "cheap." We have no confidence that it will hold up for long even though we are only a three person household contributing to the compost. The door is precariously attached with plastic "nubs" which are just crying to break off after a few uses or removals.I would not buy this again.	negative
1	What Does A Really Creative Plot + Great Writing Equal?	The Poet! This book was really fun. While I am a fan of Connelly's Harry Bosch series, I was still able to fall for Jack McEvoy. I thought that Connelly's premise was very creative and great for bibliophiles.The killer uses Poe's literary works as a basis for his murders. What a fabulous way for Connelly to merge his genius with the brilliance of Poe - one of the genre's greats.I just could not put this one down. I found myself reading under the covers with my book light. A fun vacation from reality.	positive
0	Microsoft Office 2007 - Standard Version	I hate this product. Since I'm used to Office 2003 (at work), opening this program and having to look at the childish-looking menu bar was a shock. The layout is irritating, poorly designed, and does not provide sufficient features. To make things worse, this sorry program does not allow you to save files directly to CD. The one-star rating was too generous.	negative
1	Almost a five star	I needed a way to give my dog a bath using warm water during cold weather. My requirements were that I be able to use it while the dog was in the tub or shower stall. This product does all that, it is easy to set up and plus the hose is long enough to reach anywhere I need it. My dog does not love getting a bath but had no trouble adapting to the spray nozzel, it is gentle but can throughtly wet her during washing or rinsing. Why didn't I give it five stars? Because it did not include an adapter to connect it to the shower head, it would be simple to include a plastic adapter for the shower but the adapter for a sink is all that is included, which I never use.	positive
0	Charisma Outweighs Clunky	Edit: I had previously mistakenly identified this as a feature edit of a serial.The print quality is watchable, but rather poor, just what you might expect from this budget company (Alpha). This is not a restored or digitally improved print by any means.Houdini has a lot of charisma and is obviously doing MOST of the action work himself. He's fun to watch, but ultimately, if you are someone who wants to see this at all, you'd probably prefer to see a better print, if one exists.Assuming we have most of the film here, the pacing/editing is clunky and the acting style is more like 1908 than 1922. OK, I'm exaggerating....somewhat.Still, Houdini is worth it in the long run, for curiosity's sake if nothing else. Hopefully, better prints of his surviving film work will make it to DVD.	negative
0	He's done worse, but I'm still not digging it.	This album has its fans, but I have to side with the majority. I listened to it a dozen times, and I've tried approaching it as if it was a 'children's album,' like some claim. It's still full of stinkers. Most of the tracks are virtually non-descript or flat-out awful.A toddler could boogie to "Wiggle Wiggle" - it's a good, nonsense song for kids - and the title track is a nice nursery song, albeit a bit too slick. "God Knows" has its moments. But the rest stinks.If you're a bootleg collector, there's three tracks you should seek out. An earlier version of "Born in Time" was originally recorded for 'Oh Mercy' but left off the album. THAT version is a THOUSAND times better than this one. The original versions of "T.V. Talkin' Song" and "Handy Dandy" are very different from the released versions here, and they are definitely worth hearing, especially "Handy Dandy," which could've been a great children's recording.	negative
0	D4L, thank you for another opportunity for a 1 star review	......and that was my review, thank you very much.	negative
1	Lessons for Life	I have read this book twice and given it as gifts to several friends who work to make Gospel teachings a model for their everyday lives. There is something here for everyone--joy, sadness, hope. I especially recommend it to those in any profession related to Christian education or the ministry...it should be in every church library.	positive
1	Finally!	I did run out and buy this CD on June 29; in fact, I had the date marked on my calendar. I was especially anxious to get it, since I've yet to hear "Get Born Again" played on local radio (what's up with that, Houston?). I would have rated this CD five stars if there had been at least one more new song. But "Get Born Again" is definitely vintage Alice, and worth the purchase price for the CD, which also includes some CD-ROM stuff. I can't wait for the box set in the fall.	positive
1	So far works fine	I bought this to replace the same brand item in an 8 year old carriage lamp. Instructions are clear and it was not hard to replace (just be sure the power is off). It is working fine so far for on/off and sensitivity. The wire leads are a few inches shorter than before but that did not affect my installation. I did not give the highest 5 rating because I don't know whether it will last for at least 8 years as the original.	positive
1	Timeless Sound	As an oldster, I got burnt out with the sound of the 90's. This group has a fresh sound, and John Ondrasik has found his place in heaven! I hope they keep it up for many more decades!They are on my list of greats for the 2000's!	positive
0	Vineyard Acoustic Worship by John Wimber	Not a positive or negative review. It took 21 days to receive my package -- when it came the package was empty. Postal service screwup -- anyway I never was able to listen to my disc.	negative
1	Awesome	Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic is a game that i have not played in years, and despite the new RPG types and call of duty fanatics, this game still has lots of appeal to me, it was one of the foundation stones for modern great RPG's, like Dragon Age. Has a great story, good gameplay, controls are a bit lacking they make you feel less in control, but being able to customize how your party fights and being able to pause gameplay mid-fight to select your next attack or item, or force power, sort of redeems the gameplay, as with all RPG's dialog is a huge facet of gameplay, and KoTOR delivers great dialog, along with plot twists and fun, all in all a wonderful game, and a great purchase, sadly its a very rare game to find in good condition. Many thanks go to amazon and the sellers on this site for keeping this game alive and still able to enjoy :)	positive
0	Rubbish	I like her other books, but this one was ridiculous. I know there was supposed to be a message behind it, about feminism and Christianity, which could be true. But the rest of it, where is that coming from? It's just like some bargain basement historical romance.	negative
1	The Book With Everything You Need To Know	This book has it all. It is suitable for people who just want to get fit right through to those contemplating a professional career. It is entertaining, informative and interesting. This is good, old fashioned stuff based upon hard work and dedication. Smokin' Joe has convinced me that I'll never have to join an expensive gym with all that fancy exercise equipment ever again.	positive
0	awful and difficult to follow	I wasted my hard earned money and time on this awful makeup book. Obviously this author does not know much about nyc or makeup!!!!!!! Save your money.	negative
0	Very poor	The first pair I got from the store had a double image. The second pair I got after exchanging the first was a bit better, but still had a double image at full zoom. I sent this pair directly to Meade to be replaced and the pair they sent back is completely blurred out of focus in one eyepiece, so I can't tell if it's still got a double image. The company says that they are going to open up a few of them there and test them out before sending me another pair, but I think the level of quality is obvious based on the first 3 pairs. If I was still within my refund period I would definitely dump these for a different brand!	negative
1	BEST NEW/OLD BAND	This album is awsome!!!!! the first time i heard HEAVEN'S A LIE i fell in LOVE with Critina Scabbia's voice. After hearing the rest of the album i was please with all their songs. I would totally recommend the album. This is the best album i've heard.	positive
0	Disgraceful exploitation	This sick toy only encourages animal cruelty in children !!! Transporting live animals by truck - Cruel and polluting !!!	negative
1	Magic and Pulp Adventure combined!	Stretching the boundaries of the term "Alternate History" -- in a sort of Thirty's pulp fiction,and Doc Savage in particular, way -- there's the book Doc Sidhe, by Aaron Allston.Basically, imagine Doc Savage as an elf.The Elven (or "Fair") world is much like ours (the "Grim World"). In fact, it's history is a slightlytwisted copy of ours, but "running" about sixty years behind (they're in the middle of adepression, had a major war fifteen years previous, and so on).It's a fun book, and a nice homage to the Doc Savage series without being so much of a copy as tobe a parody, or to be unable to stand on it's own.	positive
0	Just awful	This was the most miserable book I have ever read. These two women only dwell on the worst in life. It made me depressed! Not anything like Alice Hoffmans other books. Don't waste your time.	negative
1	Contemporary wisdom from "wandering on the Way"	Though a little more obtuse than "Break the Mirror", this title is as necessary and as beautiful in its own unique way. Sakaki is a direct link to dedicated path of the wandering poet-mind all but lost in the modern age. His poems and observations are not intellectual ramblings of the priviledged as are most neo-beat Zennish poets. These words come from under his own feet and from the earth they trod upon. Like his contemporary and friend Gary Snyder, he is on the short list of elders young and not-so-young ecologists,artists,poets and average folk can look up to for guidance on how to live the "way". I consider him one of the most important living teachers and only wish there was more of his work available.	positive
0	An American in Adelaide, South Australia	Agree with you, Victoria, Australia: This was a totally Americanized version of McCullough's book, filmed, I understand, in Oregon, of all places. The American accents grated on the senses. How dumb are we supposed to be to believe all the cast was Australian? How about a remake with an all-Australian cast?	negative
1	help	I am not much for greatest hits compilations. I would much rather buy all the individual albums as they were originally released--call me a completist. However, I have realized my collection is sadly short of the Beatles classic and timeless music. I need help. Which original album included the song "Paperback Writer"? It is one of my fave songs and I don't want to buy this album to get it if I don't have to--Thanks!	positive
0	Error in Team Color	This hat when shipped to me came in the wrong colors of USC, my alma mater. It looked like a template for McDonalds rather than true Southern Cal Pride!!!	negative
1	Transfer case motor	perfect fit for my 2001 Mazda B3000 extended cab, does what its designed to, seems well built, time will tell on longevity and the price was right!	positive
0	Poorly made	The straps were extra long (could probably fit an obese person) and were made of styrofoam - they were NOT supportive or heavy duty at all - not to mention the velcro came off.Do not buy.	negative
1	Leonardo da Vinci: the Universal Genius	Written for the young adult, this well illustrated book is written in an engaging and easy to read story style biography. Noble often traveled extensively for research and the book is filled with black and white facsimiles of the master's works. A bibliography is included that can be used for further study along with a 'location of major works' although it may no longer be current. The book is indexed with people, places events and works, a great reference tool.	positive
0	Would be good but...	I purchased one of these print servers because I've had good luck with Netgear in the past.The good:Comes with a network cable and 2 USB cables.The setup is easy to click through.The bad:This device does not support WPA2. Your options are WEP or WPA-TKIP. The most recent firmware update appears to be December 22 2005.If you are running a WEP or WPA-TKIP network this device would be perfect for you, but if you are running anything with a current encryption scheme you are basically out of luck.	negative
1	I finally experienced for myself...	I finally experienced for myself the place where the cover art for Kid A must have been photographed. Amnesiac took me there. Kid A was only an intoduction for this incredibly deep and emotionally explicit album. The first track serves as an excellent "from Kid A" transition tune to get you into the new and more mature feel of Amnesiac. If you owuld know me you would know hard hard it is for me to give an album 5 stars. This one brings itself more of a 5.5. Great work form the band. They ARE finally making the music they've always wanted to make. Let them only bring us more! ^_^ VERY RECOMMENDED!	positive
0	Opened/damaged packaging	I had read a number of good reviews about this product, but when it arrived from this seller it had clearly been opened and the box was all mashed up. I haven't decided if I want to even bother trying to return it. I would recommend finding this item on sale somewhere else.	negative
1	The Cake Bible	A wonderful addition to any baker's Library.The book came very well packaged and in excellent condition.Am very satisfied with product	positive
0	not designed properly	This a cool looking toy but it just doesn't work. The head and body pieces are simply too heavy to be supported by the legs so they always fall over. Very dissapointing and frustrating for the kids.	negative
0	Run away! Run far away from this mouth guard!	Insanely bulky and uncomfortable. Very hard to get a good mold out of. Very painful for my TMJ jaw. Once molded, I had to clamp down hard to even keep it in my mouth so I know it would have just fallen out at night anyway.Their customer service was great, though. Sent me a replacement by mail right away and when that one sucked too, they made no issue out of sending me a full refund.GET ANOTHER BRAND MOUTH GUARD!	negative
0	Have not Received	As I have yet to receive the book I can't say much. I ordered it JUNE 18 and used expedited shipping and it has not arrived yet on JULY 19 !!!!!! Do NOT use Mako Books as a supplier!!!!	negative
1	Pleasantly surprised	I bought this guitar almost more as a conversation piece and was blown away by the quality. Very cool. The body style is awesome and the pick guard is great! I love the single pickup.I'm a drummer who knows a few chords. I have a 3 year old and want to get him in front of a variety of instruments. This guitar is great because if he bumps into it, it's not the end of the world (not like having a vintage guitar sitting around).This has opened my eyes to First Act guitars. I'm a fan.	positive
0	Buy a portable DVD Player!	I bought this for my 6 year old after Christmas as her cousin received one and loved it. I ran all over town trying to find the PVD's (which are hard to find a good selection of). I ended up purchasing some online. By the time the PVD's arrived, the player was no longer working. We have replaced the batteries several times. On a rare occasion, it will turn on, but that is very rare. We are very disappointed with this unit. I should have listened to my husband and bought the DVD player!	negative
0	Don't be fooled!	This book is not all that other reviewers have made it to be. The plates are often vague and marginally helpful in field identification. This may be an ok first guide, but birders should look elsewhere for raptor identification tips!	negative
1	Great documentary!	This is a really interesting film. It gives you an inside look at the dark and gritty aspects of political campaigning in America. I think the best part about it was being able to see the inner workings of Vigilante's campaign team, up close and personal. The banter between Vigilante and Kennedy is great too. Even though the movie deals with an important and serious issue, it manages to be funny too. I'd highly recommend it!	positive
0	Fraudulent product	This double CD claims to be the "original artists", as stated on the back of the jewel case and on the CD's themselves. Somebody went to a whole lot of trouble to do this, but it IS NOT the original artists. Anybody who is intimately familiar with these songs, as I am, can tell the difference. It is false advertising. Don't fall for this fraud like I did.	negative
0	bad advice???????	another waste of time. dont buy this book unless you are totally new to real estate.I dont return books as a practice but i am returning both books by this authur.I am a professional invester there are good books these are not them.	negative
0	Boring	Don't know why people like this movie so much. Can't remember anthing about this movie I liked. In fact, I don't remember anything from this movie at all.	negative
0	Might have been good, but...	I bought these for the purpose of audio engineering and maybe some DJ work on the side, but they came to me broken in the package. I'm unsure as to audio quality thanks to this, but the switches seem poorly made. Specifically one of the club switches was broken off, something that looked like it would have been hard to do since the the headphones were supposedly "new". If it really is that easy to break them, then I'd advise you to get a different set. I returned these for a pair of Sennheiser headphones.	negative
0	uncomfortable, too hot	I made a mistake ordering these slippers. The back is too short, the inside is too hot, and the whole shoe too tight. so, I returned it and bought through Macys a much more comfortable one.	negative
1	Very Nice!!	I purchased this watch for my husband and we LOVE IT it is very nice it is bigger than it looks in the picture but that is not a big deal to us we do recomend this watch to everyone!!	positive
0	Needs explanation	My son who is almost 3 has no idea what this story means. The book shows a hat land on someone but doesn't mention it in the text. Then the person changes into something else but the story doesn't say they switched. Its only fun because my son can relate to some of the animals, but some he's never heard of like the baboon. The story is vague at best and requires so much explanation that it deviates from the story trying to rhyme and provide the concept of magic. My son wanted to read this twice and has never gone back. Glad we borrowed it from the library and didn't purchase. Don't waste your money on this book, so many better choices out there.	negative
1	A Complete Referance	I really like reading this book. It is upto date in terms of algorithms and theory. You can find nearly every basic topic about integer optimization in the book. I consider it as a complete referance in integer optimization. The sequence of the topics, chapters, also make it easier to understand the contents. The book gives both the theory and solution strategies. I recommend the book for people who work or study in the following areas:industrial engineering, operations research and operations management.	positive
0	Very Poorly Written.	While the Tawni Gomes story is very inspiring, the book is very poorly written. It appears that this book was never proof-read before being published. There is a difference between writing in a conversational style and just being careless. For example this sentence appears on page 105, "After you race or have a long run, it's a good idea to either take a day off, but if you want to do something, water fitness or a stationary bike are good ways of giving your legs a breather." Probably the word "either" should have been deleted. The book is full of other equally sloppy examples. This kind of error might be acceptable on an internet page or in some other free media. It is not tolerable in a twenty dollar book. I will certainly avoid any other books published by Paper Chase Press.	negative
0	Beware of lens (in)compatibility	Be aware that these extension tubes do NOT work with DX- or G-type lenses. It took a long to determine why the tubes weren't working on my camera. The Nikon rep had to search for 20 minutes before he finally came up with the relevant information. Since DX and G lenses were all that I had, they extension tubes were useless.	negative
0	Wasteful, unnecessary.	As if obnoxious teenagers need more incentive to quote an inane and rather dull movie. The quotebook is not worth the money, simply put. There's nothing within that one cannot find by simply renting the movie or even looking it up on the Incredible Edible Internet (hint: head towards www.imdb.com). Before you buy this, stop for a moment and think to yourself: is this something I really need? Of course sometimes you just WANT, but if you already own the movie, or you have access to a library or computer, there's really no point in you wasting your hard-earned money on something so... Well. Pointless.It's not particularly expensive, but there are plenty better products on which you can spend your 8 bucks.	negative
0	DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS BOOK	I am a big hockey fan and have read many of the best books out there. I picked this one up because the Espositos are a famous hockey family, the way Phil played was a precursor to how the game was to be played in the coming decades, and what Phil has done for the game since he stopped playing. Phil's life is a great story, but he should have gotten a better ghost writer for this one. It is not written well, it rambles and lacks any real string that guides you through the story nor leaves you with any real life lessons. It is effectively a chronological listing of select events in his life, and is written using prose, etc. seemingly targeted for high school kids.Phil was and is one of the biggest players to have influenced the game and I was expecting a book that was of the same caliber as his play and his approach to life during the game and after the game. This book did not deliver on those expectations.(Sorry Phil.)	negative
0	Go see for yourself how China has been changing	This book is one of the garden variety of books that exploit the general ignorance of the American public about China. If you stoke rabid nationalism and xenophobia at a time when the U.S. feels vulnerable, you will have the cash register ringing. I wonder how many of those who have given a postive review of this book have ever been or lived in China--or that part of the world, for that matter. The world is already fraught with strife and violence without this kind of stuff. A responsible intellectual should not publish this kind of material without thinking about the ramifications of his or her actions. Well, that's freedom of speech. What can we say?

1	witty, charming, sophisticated, most importantly romantic	In the spirit of Jane Austin, Where Roses Grow Wild's social commentaries, of Victorian England, are nicely blended with wit and charm. The characters are engaging, the pace is high energy. Most importantly this Victorian romance leaves the reader wanting to know more about the characters, and this reader hopes that Cabot will indulge her.	positive

0	Disappointed	I bought these based on all the great reviews here. Maybe I just got a bad box, but mine were nothing like those described in all these other reviews! The cranberries were dry and tough. They were encrusted with sugar and sticky. Not very flavorful, and slightly stale tasting.Before trying these I had bought the Oskri brand on a lightning deal, and they were great. Plump and flavorful. But expensive, so I tried these. No comparison at all! I'm going to toss these in the trash and go back to Oskri.	negative

0	False Product Description	This is the THIRD Nintendo Wii I've ordered from a THIRD different seller. All of them claimed that this particular Wii unit was backwards compatible with Nintendo GameCube games and most peripherals. Being that I'm trying to put away my GameCube and consolidate game systems, this was the main thing I was looking for. I'm now in the process of returning the THIRD Wii console in the past 1.5 months because of false advertisement in the product description. Amazon.com, you really need to take some type of action on sellers that put this false information in the product description - this is rediculous.	negative
1	Very cute, they definitely get noticed	I remember wearing Dr Scholl's wooden sandals when I was a child in the 70's so I was excited about purchasing a pair after all these years. I fell in love with the red suede model with the pink hearts. The look of the sandal definitely did not disappoint and I get lots of compliments and questions about where I got them. As for wearability they are good for short distances but the top part painfully rubs on the foot if I wear them all day. I saw a few tips from experienced wearers in the Amazon reviews in regards to this problem and I plan on trying them out. PS - this pair indicate they are made in Italy.	positive

0	Worked for 10 minutes- now can't return it!!	Got this for our old Golden Retriever. When I first put it on him and he barked, I could see that it worked- his eyes closed and he shook his head. A minute later he went to bark and he caught himself- I was so happy! Well, about ten minutes later he just barked and barked like it wasn't even on. So, I trimmed his fur all around that area, refilled the can, and ..... Nothing. He just didn't care that the smell came out, I guess, and I think he realized that if he barks a lot for a minute, then it's not a problem anymore.Ok, so I figured it must just work better on smaller dogs, and I can return it. NOPE, can't return it. 'Hazardous materials' can't be returned- they won't even take back the collar, without the extra refill cans of spray I shouldn't have ordered.So there's about $50 down the drain- for nothing. SO disappointed with Amazon, and Innotek company, right now.	negative
1	Great watch for a reasonable price	I was surprised when going over my previous Amazon orders, I ordered this Invicta Pro Diver watch in February 2009, almost 4 years ago. I have used it almost daily since I bought it and it has worked perfectly. The watch still looks good, though, as other reviewers noted, the shiny middle links in the bracelet and the clasp do show minor scratches (that aren't really noticeable from a few feet away.)For a traditional movement watch, it keeps perfect time, rarely gaining or losing more than 15 seconds a month. I haven't been able to tell if it runs fast or slow, as it usually is only a few seconds from the Atomic Time reading from my computer. The handy rotating bezel is still tight and setting the date on months of fewer than 31 days works perfectly.Over the holidays I looked at other Invicta diver watches and may buy one in another color as an alternative to this one. I am very pleased with the watch and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend.	positive

1	The Queen of Musical Theatre	For my money there's no-one to hold a candle to the divine Miss Moore. She has a voice that can do anything. She can caress you with velvety tones or pin your ears back with a belting vibrato. This wonderful collection of songs by Bernard J. Taylor gives her the chance to show her extraordinary range - from the darkness of Nosferatu to the belting ballad from Success and the unusual rythms of Much Ado. I would have given the album five stars if there had been a real orchestra providing the backing rather than synthesisers, but this CD is nevertheless a must buy for people who like great singers and great songs.	positive
0	Don't buy this!	This program has caused me more frustration than any program I've ever owned. The program crashes and irretrievably corrupts my designs. I am honestly in disbelief that any legitimate software concern would have the audacity to release a program with so many problems. A great attempt at some cool features is ruined by it's destructively buggy nature.	negative
0	Sadly disappointed in my fellow reviewers	While admitting that the Dedication to this book is one of the most beautiful I've ever read, and that I enjoyed the first 3 chapters considerably, I must confess my astonishment that this book is being given 4 1/2 stars by my fellow Amazonians. The embarassing confessions of belief in astrology, astral travelers, etc. are troubling but forgivable (at least in anyone other than a Nobel Laureate) and only confirm our suspicions that Dr. Mullis has had one tab too many. But the degradation in writing style that occurs as the book proceeds looks like some editor at Pantheon Books was asleep at the wheel. The choppy, simple sentences sound like a Jr. High teenybopper and I kept losing whatever thread of logic there might have been. For those of you who think this is anything but smug, self-important, childish drivel I recommend you try anything by Stephen Jay Gould ("Leonardo's Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms" is his latest). Time to grow up!	negative
0	Like watching paint dry	In the Bedroom is one of the most boring and predictable films I've seen in recent history. No suspense, no action, no reason to spend $6.50. A Hallmark Hall of Fame made for TV movie drawn out for the big screen. This type story has been told hundreds of times and in most cases in a more entertaining or thought provoking way. I stayed hoping that there would be some dramatic turn of events or twist in plot, however neither occurred. Disappointing on any level.	negative

1	Chicago	This Blue Ray disk is stunning to watch. If you haven't seen this Academy award winner (best picture 2002) it is a must. It answers the question "can they make em like they used to?" the answer to that is a resounding yes.If you are not ready for the close quick editing used at the start of the picture you might be left somewhat confused- but stay with it - a second viewing will reveal its importance in getting the audience to make the necessary connections between the characters and plot the course of the story.Well filmed - the sets and costumes are second to none and overall the movie provides a evening of good fun.	positive

Green screen

This worked well for about a week. My older unit was glitchy, causing the screen to distort and lose the signal. Initially, this unit was far better, until it began to imbue everything with a greenish hue that comes and goes as it pleases. With our system at church, this has NEVER happened before, so I have to place the blame on this unit. I'm outside the window to return it, so I"ll have to buy a new, different brand.

Not enjoyable at all

Russell Watson's precarious singing does no justice to the music. To tell the truth, Watson simply does not have the voice and technique to perform such a kind of demanding music. He merely embarrasses himself with each attempt. A perverse recording which can bring more laughter of ridicule than any genuine sense of enjoyment on the part of the listener.

Never returned a book until now

This book is horribly written. There are glaring grammar errors which make the book impossible to read. Hopefully the proofers have been sent back to kinder-care. Moreover, there are sections in the book where they cut-and-copied the syntax explanation into the example section. But they forgot to change the text to an example! Look at the section on xinetd for an example. This one had to go back. This is too bad. We really need an good book on this topic. Sorry Mr. Ziegler, get better proof readers for the 3rd edition.

Couldn't really say....

I can't say really, whether the book is awesome or not, as I didn't finish reading it. I would appreciate a rating system, much like the movie industry uses, that would let me know BEFORE I purchase an item if it may contain matter that I find objectionable. That way, I'd save my money for something that I would actually end up enjoying.This book contained extremely strong language, and sexual situations through out the first few chapters, so I didn't read any further and couldn't tell you if it was great, or if it contained any other objectionable material.

I know yall have seen this on videos and stuff. Plus folk are praising him like he was amazing when he is barely mediocre. Buy if you want to but also think about why he put Nate Dogg on his first single. His rap is weak and his voice is not too appealing either. If you are 12 then this is right up your alley. It doesn't even have any good club like songs. I hope he retires after this album. You BETTER listen to it before even thinking about buying the album.

MISLEADING: Arguments are very weak

I am required to read this book as part of an undergraduate class. I find that there are many weak arguments in her book. The weakest of all and the most obvious is the weak supportive argument.Many times I flipped to the bibliography and found out that the source for the argument is weak. For example, she used an article from 'Playboy' magazine to support her argument.This is an issue if one understand how to research paper and presented a well-rounded arguments. It would be good if she usejournal paper / books to support her arguments.Another issue even when she use journal paper, she mis-interpret the conclusion. For example, strong positive correlation only shows that both variables are related. However, Levine interprets data as if one variable causes the other.

The novelty wears off quickly...

It's weird. If you're like me, when you're interested in a game, you go online and research. Check the reviews etc. the problem is: there's just no consistency on these reviews! So I took a calculated risk and bought Godzilla: Domination. Not the best use of your hard earned gaming dollars. The graphics are nice, the control is so-so, the sound, very simplistic. The real problem is that this game is quickly reduced to button-mashing. There are only a few basic moves available but they are all the moves you need to beat this game in about 20 minutes. That's right, TWENTY MINUTES! You can literally trap an opponent in a corner and just never let them up. BOOOOORING! The special moves are cool but you don't need them, in fact it will take you longer to learn how to use the special moves effectively than it will to beat the game by simply pressing "A" or "B" repeatedly. Take a pass, trust me on this.

If you want the complete works on a budget, this is the best choice. It's the full Arden text, with a good glossary at the end of the book. Each play begins with a brief introductory note. You don't get the extensive footnotes of the individual Arden plays, but for many readers, that's a bonus.

Think twice and then go to your local ACE to purchase a composter.

Took us three days to figure out how to put the whole thing together. Needed to bring out the entire tool chest to do so and make one trip to the hardware store for parts.Item looks like the picture, however, it is heavy plastic and feels "cheap." We have no confidence that it will hold up for long even though we are only a three person household contributing to the compost. The door is precariously attached with plastic "nubs" which are just crying to break off after a few uses or removals.I would not buy this again.

What Does A Really Creative Plot + Great Writing Equal?

The Poet! This book was really fun. While I am a fan of Connelly's Harry Bosch series, I was still able to fall for Jack McEvoy. I thought that Connelly's premise was very creative and great for bibliophiles.The killer uses Poe's literary works as a basis for his murders. What a fabulous way for Connelly to merge his genius with the brilliance of Poe - one of the genre's greats.I just could not put this one down. I found myself reading under the covers with my book light. A fun vacation from reality.

Almost a five star

I needed a way to give my dog a bath using warm water during cold weather. My requirements were that I be able to use it while the dog was in the tub or shower stall. This product does all that, it is easy to set up and plus the hose is long enough to reach anywhere I need it. My dog does not love getting a bath but had no trouble adapting to the spray nozzel, it is gentle but can throughtly wet her during washing or rinsing. Why didn't I give it five stars? Because it did not include an adapter to connect it to the shower head, it would be simple to include a plastic adapter for the shower but the adapter for a sink is all that is included, which I never use.

Charisma Outweighs Clunky

Edit: I had previously mistakenly identified this as a feature edit of a serial.The print quality is watchable, but rather poor, just what you might expect from this budget company (Alpha). This is not a restored or digitally improved print by any means.Houdini has a lot of charisma and is obviously doing MOST of the action work himself. He's fun to watch, but ultimately, if you are someone who wants to see this at all, you'd probably prefer to see a better print, if one exists.Assuming we have most of the film here, the pacing/editing is clunky and the acting style is more like 1908 than 1922. OK, I'm exaggerating....somewhat.Still, Houdini is worth it in the long run, for curiosity's sake if nothing else. Hopefully, better prints of his surviving film work will make it to DVD.

He's done worse, but I'm still not digging it.

This album has its fans, but I have to side with the majority. I listened to it a dozen times, and I've tried approaching it as if it was a 'children's album,' like some claim. It's still full of stinkers. Most of the tracks are virtually non-descript or flat-out awful.A toddler could boogie to "Wiggle Wiggle" - it's a good, nonsense song for kids - and the title track is a nice nursery song, albeit a bit too slick. "God Knows" has its moments. But the rest stinks.If you're a bootleg collector, there's three tracks you should seek out. An earlier version of "Born in Time" was originally recorded for 'Oh Mercy' but left off the album. THAT version is a THOUSAND times better than this one. The original versions of "T.V. Talkin' Song" and "Handy Dandy" are very different from the released versions here, and they are definitely worth hearing, especially "Handy Dandy," which could've been a great children's recording.

Finally!

I did run out and buy this CD on June 29; in fact, I had the date marked on my calendar. I was especially anxious to get it, since I've yet to hear "Get Born Again" played on local radio (what's up with that, Houston?). I would have rated this CD five stars if there had been at least one more new song. But "Get Born Again" is definitely vintage Alice, and worth the purchase price for the CD, which also includes some CD-ROM stuff. I can't wait for the box set in the fall.

I bought this to replace the same brand item in an 8 year old carriage lamp. Instructions are clear and it was not hard to replace (just be sure the power is off). It is working fine so far for on/off and sensitivity. The wire leads are a few inches shorter than before but that did not affect my installation. I did not give the highest 5 rating because I don't know whether it will last for at least 8 years as the original.

Awesome

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic is a game that i have not played in years, and despite the new RPG types and call of duty fanatics, this game still has lots of appeal to me, it was one of the foundation stones for modern great RPG's, like Dragon Age. Has a great story, good gameplay, controls are a bit lacking they make you feel less in control, but being able to customize how your party fights and being able to pause gameplay mid-fight to select your next attack or item, or force power, sort of redeems the gameplay, as with all RPG's dialog is a huge facet of gameplay, and KoTOR delivers great dialog, along with plot twists and fun, all in all a wonderful game, and a great purchase, sadly its a very rare game to find in good condition. Many thanks go to amazon and the sellers on this site for keeping this game alive and still able to enjoy :)

Very poor

The first pair I got from the store had a double image. The second pair I got after exchanging the first was a bit better, but still had a double image at full zoom. I sent this pair directly to Meade to be replaced and the pair they sent back is completely blurred out of focus in one eyepiece, so I can't tell if it's still got a double image. The company says that they are going to open up a few of them there and test them out before sending me another pair, but I think the level of quality is obvious based on the first 3 pairs. If I was still within my refund period I would definitely dump these for a different brand!

Magic and Pulp Adventure combined!

Stretching the boundaries of the term "Alternate History" -- in a sort of Thirty's pulp fiction,and Doc Savage in particular, way -- there's the book Doc Sidhe, by Aaron Allston.Basically, imagine Doc Savage as an elf.The Elven (or "Fair") world is much like ours (the "Grim World"). In fact, it's history is a slightlytwisted copy of ours, but "running" about sixty years behind (they're in the middle of adepression, had a major war fifteen years previous, and so on).It's a fun book, and a nice homage to the Doc Savage series without being so much of a copy as tobe a parody, or to be unable to stand on it's own.

Contemporary wisdom from "wandering on the Way"

Though a little more obtuse than "Break the Mirror", this title is as necessary and as beautiful in its own unique way. Sakaki is a direct link to dedicated path of the wandering poet-mind all but lost in the modern age. His poems and observations are not intellectual ramblings of the priviledged as are most neo-beat Zennish poets. These words come from under his own feet and from the earth they trod upon. Like his contemporary and friend Gary Snyder, he is on the short list of elders young and not-so-young ecologists,artists,poets and average folk can look up to for guidance on how to live the "way". I consider him one of the most important living teachers and only wish there was more of his work available.

Noble often traveled extensively for research and the book is filled with black and white facsimiles of the master's works. A bibliography is included that can be used for further study along with a 'location of major works' although it may no longer be current. The book is indexed with people, places events and works, a great reference tool.

Would be good but...

I purchased one of these print servers because I've had good luck with Netgear in the past.The good:Comes with a network cable and 2 USB cables.The setup is easy to click through.The bad:This device does not support WPA2. Your options are WEP or WPA-TKIP. The most recent firmware update appears to be December 22 2005.If you are running a WEP or WPA-TKIP network this device would be perfect for you, but if you are running anything with a current encryption scheme you are basically out of luck.

I finally experienced for myself...

I finally experienced for myself the place where the cover art for Kid A must have been photographed. Amnesiac took me there. Kid A was only an intoduction for this incredibly deep and emotionally explicit album. The first track serves as an excellent "from Kid A" transition tune to get you into the new and more mature feel of Amnesiac. If you owuld know me you would know hard hard it is for me to give an album 5 stars. This one brings itself more of a 5.5. Great work form the band. They ARE finally making the music they've always wanted to make. Let them only bring us more! ^_^ VERY RECOMMENDED!

Opened/damaged packaging

I had read a number of good reviews about this product, but when it arrived from this seller it had clearly been opened and the box was all mashed up. I haven't decided if I want to even bother trying to return it. I would recommend finding this item on sale somewhere else.

not designed properly

This a cool looking toy but it just doesn't work. The head and body pieces are simply too heavy to be supported by the legs so they always fall over. Very dissapointing and frustrating for the kids.

Run away! Run far away from this mouth guard!

Insanely bulky and uncomfortable. Very hard to get a good mold out of. Very painful for my TMJ jaw. Once molded, I had to clamp down hard to even keep it in my mouth so I know it would have just fallen out at night anyway.Their customer service was great, though. Sent me a replacement by mail right away and when that one sucked too, they made no issue out of sending me a full refund.GET ANOTHER BRAND MOUTH GUARD!

Pleasantly surprised

I bought this guitar almost more as a conversation piece and was blown away by the quality. Very cool. The body style is awesome and the pick guard is great! I love the single pickup.I'm a drummer who knows a few chords. I have a 3 year old and want to get him in front of a variety of instruments. This guitar is great because if he bumps into it, it's not the end of the world (not like having a vintage guitar sitting around).This has opened my eyes to First Act guitars. I'm a fan.

Buy a portable DVD Player!

I bought this for my 6 year old after Christmas as her cousin received one and loved it. I ran all over town trying to find the PVD's (which are hard to find a good selection of). I ended up purchasing some online. By the time the PVD's arrived, the player was no longer working. We have replaced the batteries several times. On a rare occasion, it will turn on, but that is very rare. We are very disappointed with this unit. I should have listened to my husband and bought the DVD player!

Don't be fooled!

This book is not all that other reviewers have made it to be. The plates are often vague and marginally helpful in field identification. This may be an ok first guide, but birders should look elsewhere for raptor identification tips!

Great documentary!

This is a really interesting film. It gives you an inside look at the dark and gritty aspects of political campaigning in America. I think the best part about it was being able to see the inner workings of Vigilante's campaign team, up close and personal. The banter between Vigilante and Kennedy is great too. Even though the movie deals with an important and serious issue, it manages to be funny too. I'd highly recommend it!

Fraudulent product

This double CD claims to be the "original artists", as stated on the back of the jewel case and on the CD's themselves. Somebody went to a whole lot of trouble to do this, but it IS NOT the original artists. Anybody who is intimately familiar with these songs, as I am, can tell the difference. It is false advertising. Don't fall for this fraud like I did.

Might have been good, but...

I bought these for the purpose of audio engineering and maybe some DJ work on the side, but they came to me broken in the package. I'm unsure as to audio quality thanks to this, but the switches seem poorly made. Specifically one of the club switches was broken off, something that looked like it would have been hard to do since the the headphones were supposedly "new". If it really is that easy to break them, then I'd advise you to get a different set. I returned these for a pair of Sennheiser headphones.

Needs explanation

My son who is almost 3 has no idea what this story means. The book shows a hat land on someone but doesn't mention it in the text. Then the person changes into something else but the story doesn't say they switched. Its only fun because my son can relate to some of the animals, but some he's never heard of like the baboon. The story is vague at best and requires so much explanation that it deviates from the story trying to rhyme and provide the concept of magic. My son wanted to read this twice and has never gone back. Glad we borrowed it from the library and didn't purchase. Don't waste your money on this book, so many better choices out there.

A Complete Referance

I really like reading this book. It is upto date in terms of algorithms and theory. You can find nearly every basic topic about integer optimization in the book. I consider it as a complete referance in integer optimization. The sequence of the topics, chapters, also make it easier to understand the contents. The book gives both the theory and solution strategies. I recommend the book for people who work or study in the following areas:industrial engineering, operations research and operations management.

Very Poorly Written.

While the Tawni Gomes story is very inspiring, the book is very poorly written. It appears that this book was never proof-read before being published. There is a difference between writing in a conversational style and just being careless. For example this sentence appears on page 105, "After you race or have a long run, it's a good idea to either take a day off, but if you want to do something, water fitness or a stationary bike are good ways of giving your legs a breather." Probably the word "either" should have been deleted. The book is full of other equally sloppy examples. This kind of error might be acceptable on an internet page or in some other free media. It is not tolerable in a twenty dollar book. I will certainly avoid any other books published by Paper Chase Press.

Beware of lens (in)compatibility

Be aware that these extension tubes do NOT work with DX- or G-type lenses. It took a long to determine why the tubes weren't working on my camera. The Nikon rep had to search for 20 minutes before he finally came up with the relevant information. Since DX and G lenses were all that I had, they extension tubes were useless.

Wasteful, unnecessary.

As if obnoxious teenagers need more incentive to quote an inane and rather dull movie. The quotebook is not worth the money, simply put. There's nothing within that one cannot find by simply renting the movie or even looking it up on the Incredible Edible Internet (hint: head towards www.imdb.com). Before you buy this, stop for a moment and think to yourself: is this something I really need? Of course sometimes you just WANT, but if you already own the movie, or you have access to a library or computer, there's really no point in you wasting your hard-earned money on something so... Well. Pointless.It's not particularly expensive, but there are plenty better products on which you can spend your 8 bucks.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS BOOK

I am a big hockey fan and have read many of the best books out there. I picked this one up because the Espositos are a famous hockey family, the way Phil played was a precursor to how the game was to be played in the coming decades, and what Phil has done for the game since he stopped playing. Phil's life is a great story, but he should have gotten a better ghost writer for this one. It is not written well, it rambles and lacks any real string that guides you through the story nor leaves you with any real life lessons. It is effectively a chronological listing of select events in his life, and is written using prose, etc. seemingly targeted for high school kids.Phil was and is one of the biggest players to have influenced the game and I was expecting a book that was of the same caliber as his play and his approach to life during the game and after the game. This book did not deliver on those expectations.(Sorry Phil.)

Go see for yourself how China has been changing

This book is one of the garden variety of books that exploit the general ignorance of the American public about China. If you stoke rabid nationalism and xenophobia at a time when the U.S. feels vulnerable, you will have the cash register ringing. I wonder how many of those who have given a postive review of this book have ever been or lived in China--or that part of the world, for that matter. The world is already fraught with strife and violence without this kind of stuff. A responsible intellectual should not publish this kind of material without thinking about the ramifications of his or her actions. Well, that's freedom of speech. What can we say? And we sacrifice a few trees along the way for publishing it.....

witty, charming, sophisticated, most importantly romantic

In the spirit of Jane Austin, Where Roses Grow Wild's social commentaries, of Victorian England, are nicely blended with wit and charm. The characters are engaging, the pace is high energy. Most importantly this Victorian romance leaves the reader wanting to know more about the characters, and this reader hopes that Cabot will indulge her.

Disappointed

I bought these based on all the great reviews here. Maybe I just got a bad box, but mine were nothing like those described in all these other reviews! The cranberries were dry and tough. They were encrusted with sugar and sticky. Not very flavorful, and slightly stale tasting.Before trying these I had bought the Oskri brand on a lightning deal, and they were great. Plump and flavorful. But expensive, so I tried these. No comparison at all! I'm going to toss these in the trash and go back to Oskri.

False Product Description

This is the THIRD Nintendo Wii I've ordered from a THIRD different seller. All of them claimed that this particular Wii unit was backwards compatible with Nintendo GameCube games and most peripherals. Being that I'm trying to put away my GameCube and consolidate game systems, this was the main thing I was looking for. I'm now in the process of returning the THIRD Wii console in the past 1.5 months because of false advertisement in the product description. Amazon.com, you really need to take some type of action on sellers that put this false information in the product description - this is rediculous.

Very cute, they definitely get noticed

I remember wearing Dr Scholl's wooden sandals when I was a child in the 70's so I was excited about purchasing a pair after all these years. I fell in love with the red suede model with the pink hearts. The look of the sandal definitely did not disappoint and I get lots of compliments and questions about where I got them. As for wearability they are good for short distances but the top part painfully rubs on the foot if I wear them all day. I saw a few tips from experienced wearers in the Amazon reviews in regards to this problem and I plan on trying them out. PS - this pair indicate they are made in Italy.

Worked for 10 minutes- now can't return it!!

Got this for our old Golden Retriever. When I first put it on him and he barked, I could see that it worked- his eyes closed and he shook his head. A minute later he went to bark and he caught himself- I was so happy! Well, about ten minutes later he just barked and barked like it wasn't even on. So, I trimmed his fur all around that area, refilled the can, and ..... Nothing. He just didn't care that the smell came out, I guess, and I think he realized that if he barks a lot for a minute, then it's not a problem anymore.Ok, so I figured it must just work better on smaller dogs, and I can return it. NOPE, can't return it. 'Hazardous materials' can't be returned- they won't even take back the collar, without the extra refill cans of spray I shouldn't have ordered.So there's about $50 down the drain- for nothing. SO disappointed with Amazon, and Innotek company, right now.

Great watch for a reasonable price

I was surprised when going over my previous Amazon orders, I ordered this Invicta Pro Diver watch in February 2009, almost 4 years ago. I have used it almost daily since I bought it and it has worked perfectly. The watch still looks good, though, as other reviewers noted, the shiny middle links in the bracelet and the clasp do show minor scratches (that aren't really noticeable from a few feet away.)For a traditional movement watch, it keeps perfect time, rarely gaining or losing more than 15 seconds a month. I haven't been able to tell if it runs fast or slow, as it usually is only a few seconds from the Atomic Time reading from my computer. The handy rotating bezel is still tight and setting the date on months of fewer than 31 days works perfectly.Over the holidays I looked at other Invicta diver watches and may buy one in another color as an alternative to this one. I am very pleased with the watch and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

More of a survey result book

Not very happy with this book. I bought it on recommendation from a friend. It was more about results of surveys taken from homeschooling families than giving advice on homeschooling. Being that I am new to homeschooling, I am looking for ways that will be helpful for me and my son's success. A good book but however, it did not provide me with what I was looking for.

The Queen of Musical Theatre

For my money there's no-one to hold a candle to the divine Miss Moore. She has a voice that can do anything. She can caress you with velvety tones or pin your ears back with a belting vibrato. This wonderful collection of songs by Bernard J. Taylor gives her the chance to show her extraordinary range - from the darkness of Nosferatu to the belting ballad from Success and the unusual rythms of Much Ado. I would have given the album five stars if there had been a real orchestra providing the backing rather than synthesisers, but this CD is nevertheless a must buy for people who like great singers and great songs.

This program has caused me more frustration than any program I've ever owned. The program crashes and irretrievably corrupts my designs. I am honestly in disbelief that any legitimate software concern would have the audacity to release a program with so many problems. A great attempt at some cool features is ruined by it's destructively buggy nature.

Sadly disappointed in my fellow reviewers

While admitting that the Dedication to this book is one of the most beautiful I've ever read, and that I enjoyed the first 3 chapters considerably, I must confess my astonishment that this book is being given 4 1/2 stars by my fellow Amazonians. The embarassing confessions of belief in astrology, astral travelers, etc. are troubling but forgivable (at least in anyone other than a Nobel Laureate) and only confirm our suspicions that Dr. Mullis has had one tab too many. But the degradation in writing style that occurs as the book proceeds looks like some editor at Pantheon Books was asleep at the wheel. The choppy, simple sentences sound like a Jr. High teenybopper and I kept losing whatever thread of logic there might have been. For those of you who think this is anything but smug, self-important, childish drivel I recommend you try anything by Stephen Jay Gould ("Leonardo's Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms" is his latest). Time to grow up!

Like watching paint dry

In the Bedroom is one of the most boring and predictable films I've seen in recent history. No suspense, no action, no reason to spend $6.50. A Hallmark Hall of Fame made for TV movie drawn out for the big screen. This type story has been told hundreds of times and in most cases in a more entertaining or thought provoking way. I stayed hoping that there would be some dramatic turn of events or twist in plot, however neither occurred. Disappointing on any level.

the title is very amusing one could say. thats what got me sucked in. i wanted to look at an apolegtic view of archeology and historicity of the bible. unfortunately this dvd does not carry those qualities. very repedative, does not have anything a 6th grade history book doesnt already have on the middle east, and so boring. ive seen a dozen movies on archeaology of the bible, and i must say this was the worste. you wanted my opinion and i am trying to speak unabashingly that this movie has no left hook, nothing outstanding, and doesnt even get to the point until 45 minutes in. watch a preview of it on youtube before you buy it

Chicago

This Blue Ray disk is stunning to watch. If you haven't seen this Academy award winner (best picture 2002) it is a must. It answers the question "can they make em like they used to?" the answer to that is a resounding yes.If you are not ready for the close quick editing used at the start of the picture you might be left somewhat confused- but stay with it - a second viewing will reveal its importance in getting the audience to make the necessary connections between the characters and plot the course of the story.Well filmed - the sets and costumes are second to none and overall the movie provides a evening of good fun.
