0	This is PLAIN GARBAGE!!!	The movie could have been good...they took a decent story and messed it up....not worth $5....avoid at all costs!! I'm glad I rented it first!	negative
1	More Mac Problems	The manufacturer published a new version of the Apple Mac software November 2, 2010 and it installs correctly and functions fine on the Intel based Macs running OS10.6 (Snow Leopard). Upon booting a custom menu pops up allowing you to login with a fingerprint swipe, a password, or both. The scanner recognizes my fingers first swipe every time. It's best to register more than one finger incase you get a cut and have to wear a bandage.	positive
0	bad news company and item	i ordered a two and a half inch and got a 2 inch. this is what the company said, "the strainer we sent you is in fact the right size. There is an error on the listing, but we didn't list the item we can't change it. There are no such size of 2.5" for lavatory. Danco do not make that size. All this type of strainer is standard universal size. Thank you"DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!! there are ads here on amazon for 2.5 and 2.75 yet this company says they don't exist and won't be responsible.	negative
1	CSA FLAG	Bought this flag for my brother he always liked the one I have ,this was a good one to get it was of good quality and good for outdoor display	positive
0	No Sub-titles at all	Some else complained that there are no Spanish sub-titles. My copy from Amazon has no sub-titles at all. As someone with a serious hearing problem, I feel very discriminated against!! I can't watch the series at all.I have gone through Amazons returns policy, & there seems no way that I can return this set. Not happy Amazon!!	negative
0	Not what I was hoping for	My 9 month old son loves to bang things, but for some reason, he gets bored with this almost as soon as he starts playing with it. I love Leapfrog toys, and this one has such high ratings, I am surprised it's not a bigger hit. The only thing I can figure is maybe he doesn't like the kid's voice shouting the letters (I know I don't). Plus, it turns off much too quickly and there is no way a baby can reactivate it unless he happens to hit the star button in front. It would be nice if you could re-activate it by hitting it, but that doesn't work.My son prefers the LeapFrog Discovery Ball. It has really helped him learn cause and effect. He loves spinning the ball. Plus, it has a volume control and can also be re-activated easily by spinning the ball. In our house, it definitely is superior to the Learning Drum.	negative
0	a conventional view of mankind	this book exists to support the author's opinion that man is brutish and destructive.this was written well before clinical studies of violance, child abuse, the effects of peer pressure, etc. it reflects the basic christain view that man is vile.itis obvious that golding never considers that by the time any of these boys has spent time in their families and then in the prep school, any natural impulse has been thoroughly ground out bysocial standards. these boys are as affected by all they psychological influences as adults, with fewer methods to deal with them.of course they revert to so-called savagery--it's what they experienced at their school. of course there are no intelligent responses, we aren't trained to use intelligent response.the book is a polemic of the conservative christian--man is vile and must be controlled or he will become a savage.nurture has no place.i find it a completely annoying book, presenting an unrealistic result.	negative
1	Tried them all, this is the best	I've tried them all and this is the best. I don't like the way it openly displays your iPod for the iPod thieves but it's got the best transmitter available.	positive
1	Great for our deck	We needed a barrier to keep our 17 month old toddler from leaving our deck area. The exit area is just about 5 feet wide and most gates wont fit. In addition the area is uncovered and exposed to the elements so a wood or metal gate would not have worked. The telescoping design and heavy plastic construction are exactly what we needed. It frustrates our toddler to be trapped but I feel good knowing I can take my attention away for a moment without worrying she'll get into the yard unsupervised.	positive
0	Nice, in theory...keeps breaking	The CS10 is certainly everything a cordless headset should be: small, lightweight and well-designed. However, I'm now on my third unit in as many months, and it, too, just died. Evidently the belt pack and the base station "forget" how to communicate with each other over time.Too bad...Plantronics has always been the name is business phone accessories, but I'm afraid it's time to go hunting for a replacement.	negative
1	Outstanding!	This was the first book I've read that specifically focused on criminal profiling and furthered my interest on the subject. Wonderful read, couldn't put the book down until I finished. Anyone aspiring for a career in criminology has to read Douglas' books. Amazing author and profiler! Furthers your knowledge of types of killers, profiles them and predicts the most likely suspect through physical, educational, marital backgrounds, etc. I'm hoping to read his others! 5 stars for me, no doubt about that. My favorite True Crime book yet. Nothing boring about it.	positive
0	Complete waste; kids are upset.	I purchased this guitar for my 14 year old son. On Christmas day, he excitedly opened the guitar. Within one hour, the first string broke. The carrying case has a broken zipper (broken on receipt). Our neighbor, a musician, attempted to fix the broken string with no success. Any new strings would break. I knew that this was a "deal" financially, and was just wanting an inexpensive "first guitar" for my teen to see how interested he was in playing. Sadly, he was upset that it broke within the first hour. This was his "big gift" for Christmas. I will attempt to return the item. Hopefully, the seller will cooperate.	negative
0	A complete disappointment!	I was so disappointed by this product. It is quite wasteful: requires two 12 ounce packages of chocolate and then it requires at least 3/4 of OIL to be added to the chocolate (making it even more unhealthy!) to supposedly get it thin enough to work but I couldn't get it to work- it could never get thin enough and then it is quite difficult to clean (bowl doesn't separate). total waste...	negative
0	Ball Not Included	My cats could chase the ball around for hours -- if a ball had been included in the package. The thing comes sealed in plastic (and included the promised catnip), so the ball didn't fall out. Somewhere in China, there's probably a sweatshop worker trying to sell Bergan Turbo Scratcher balls to Siamese cats on the blackmarket.Amazon agreed to refund my money if I returned the ball-less cat toy, but that's a hassle. So is finding the right sized plastic ball, but I want to find out if the product frustrates my cats as much as it has me.	negative
0	Love Jerry and Dean, just not this version	I was very disappointed with this....I realize it is a 1950 film, however, the sound and picture were off much if not all of the film. Additionally, it wasn't listed as a DVD-R, but is. Wish it had been a better quality production with sound and picture in sync as I really wanted it for my collection.	negative
1	Does the job	We needed more light and this bulb is the answer. If it lasts 20,000 hours as claimed there is nothing more to say.	positive
0	Just Ok	This book is a compilation of many newspaper articles and facts written about the Shah. There is nothing new here except for a heavy book with lots of misspellings and typos. Many pages are devoted to characters that come in contact with the royal family during their exile (i.e. Manuel Noriega, Omar torrijos etc.)and very little written about the private side of his life and his dealings with his family, friends and close aids.	negative
0	Don't buy it!	Well, I used FP98 and hoped that FP2000 would have gotten rid of a lot of the quirks the previous version had...NOT! Talk about frustration. I tried editing an HTML file in FP and it ended up scrambling my code. And when I tried to save the code the way I wanted it FP would automatically rearrange it. Plus, it would add it's own little HTML tags along with it.Another key issue was WYSINWYG (what you see is NOT what you get). You'd place text fields, buttons, etc. in certain places on the page and when you previewed the page they would be misaligned, off-centered, or whatever.I could go on forever on other quirks FP has, but I'll just leave it at that. Do yourself a favor and buy Metacreations' Dreamweaver.	negative
0	Poor Quality - Metallic Taste in Water	I was expecting a much better product. Although it met my needs regarding size and environmental impact, it is made of poor stainless steel material (another poorly made product from China). After a couple of uses, the water has a metallic taste. No telling what it is I am really drinking as there is no way of knowing what is leaching into my water. I will be recycling this! Very disappointed and I will be using a glass from now on. I cannot recommend this product at all.	negative
1	Best for the beginners	This is the best book to start with for a person who is entering the telecom software field and a good handy reference for the experienced as well.As the world of telecom is changing so rapidly I think it's high time Travis came up with revised edition, though.	positive
1	The only 'Diet' Book you will ever need to TRANSFORM your life!	I heard this author speak a few years ago and fell in love with her simple, straightforward approach to eating and living a healthy life! This is truly the only 'health' book a person needs if they are seeking to improve their lifestyle and their overall way of taking care of themselves. The advice is practical, easy to remember, and easy to incorporate into a daily routine. And - it delivers strong results, from weight loss to lowering blood pressure to simply preserving a healthy lifestyle well in our years. I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about their overall well-being. We only have one body....what's holding us back from preserving its sanctity?	positive
1	Glad to see the message of Love , Hope	Glad to see the message of Love, Hope and prosperity being spoken by a well meaning minister. Joel Osteen is a refreshing voice in the crowd of fear, hate and shame that too many christian preachers need to express. What he says is not new but it is being delivered in such a positive and understandable manner. If your looking for ways to change your life for the better, Pastor Osteen delivers. You should also checkout the books written by Neale Donald Walsch, "Conversations With God" series and his others for more of this uplifting message.	positive
0	Good, but a bit obsolete	It's not a bad book, but forget it if you're runninga budget home studio, this man talks about (pretty old, now)devices that costs, each, more than your motorbike.Perhaps it's a bit obsolete, in a today's audio worldwhere everything is mostly based on softwarebob is still talking about analog equalizers or something like...	negative
0	Air Conditioning and Refrigeration	This book smacks of being done by researchers, not experts in the field. It is very outdated. It does not feature modern refrigerants, tools, or service techniques. While some of the information will always be applicable to the field, the information is researched, borrowed...not from the authors' experience in the field. My father was teaching me in the late 1960's. Had he given me this book I would have thought it useful but a bit old fashioned. You can tell the authors do not practice in the field or the shop or they would have realized their information was from the refrigeration dinasaur age!	negative
0	Perhaps Not	Not the best sounding mallet for the price. Mike Balter GM1 General Gong Mallet (Black) was a lot better sounding on my 2.5 foot GONG. This one sounded too hard - like there is not enough padding around the core - and/or the core is too hard/firm. Needs to be softer sounding.	negative
1	the best thing in my kitchen	I LOVE this convection oven/toaster! I use it for everything. I have only used the house oven 3 times in the last 6 months. I am hoping to upgrade this to a larger model so that I don't ever have to ues the oven again!	positive
0	Worked great, until the battery developed memory...	...and now it won't take more than a tiny charge, barely enough to run at full speed for 1 minute. It lasted a year.	negative
0	Isn't Linksys a quality brand?	Got my WRT54G v7 a month ago to replace an older model. Been having nothing but trouble since, with my connection dropping as many as ten times a day for no apparent reasons, and I have to physically reset the router because of DNS problems. Firmware is up to date and the router's properly configured. C'mon, my PC is just about six meters from the router!A lot of people are having the same problem, apparently, and now I really wish I had bothered reading up some reviews before investing in this piece of junk. Shucks, it hardly looks great even as an expensive paperweight....	negative
1	Breathing spaces	Breathing spaces by Nancy N. Chen shows a good connection between psychiatry and Qigong. It gives a rare insight to the non-Chinese practizing qigong and psychiatry.Aliza	positive
0	Feel Bad for Dissing a Classic	As an adult, I liked the story - but don't think it's appropriate for a child. I think most children would conclude that wolves are evil and scary (the illustrations of the wolf are certainly scary). Since I live a stone's throw from wolf country, this book is probably not the best bedtime reading for my child. Sent it back.	negative
1	Finally, Help for us beginners	How come the geniuses at Microsoft can design great software but cannot tell beginners how to use it? Thank goodness for the SAM series or I would have given up. I bought a number of books but this one was the best for learning for a beginner like me. I had never used a computer before but this book has me doing everything I need to do and then some. I read a lesson a day and found it both easy and fun. Much better than the Dummy books which I find are too busy being funny and unclear on what I want to know. Thank you SAM and Ms. Steele, great book!.	positive
1	Not too heavy on the electronica please, thanx.	after several years with no new material, underworld came back with much heavier beats that I'd expected, but I'm pleased with their results. Darkness and rhythm pervade this cd, along with catchy riffs and lyrics. Although in the "electronica" genre, it's not really all that heavy, there's still some non-mechanical talent making the sound. I keep this album in my car, as the beats lend themselves to late night driving, with freeway lights passing quietly outside your windows.If you liked "Underneath the radar" and "Change the weather", you'll be pleasantly surprised by this release.	positive
0	World Globe	Hi, my name is Dani Roberts and I am 14 years old. I was wanted a world globe but I hated word globes. Can you please send it to somebody else for me please? Thank you.	negative
0	Deep ploughing	To me this book seemed very hard to get into, although the usual depth was there if I made the effort. But so hard that I have to admit I merely scanned quite a bit of it. Not one to start on if you're not used to Alan's writings.	negative
1	body harvest	Body harvest is one of those games that you get really into it then all of a sudden you dont want to play for a few days. its graphics arent the best but the are ok. some of the game is challenging but some of it is verry easy.	positive
1	Great entertainment throughout the year!	Now you can have Halloween every day! I start using this tarot intensely at the end of August, since I just can't wait for fall. You can almost smell the autumn leaves and taste the candy as you shuffle the cards with pumpkins, ghosts, bats, and imps in an orange and purple motif! Uncanny accurate adaption of traditional tarot cards. An adventurous black cat takes the journey through the deck to the happy-ending World card. Not scary, especially good for kids and the nervous, a big plus at parties. The book is uncomplicated, gives a good history of Halloween and the authors' fascination with the holiday. The card meanings fit the pictures and are beginner-friendly. Don't miss this fun deck.	positive
1	very peaceful and soothing	This album is useful for (1) focusing on work and (2) de-stressing from everyday anxieties. This album has been able to soothe me at key moments. I listened to the album on Magnatune and then had to purchase it because I enjoyed it so much. I would whole-heartedly recommend it. I think the first reviewer's idea to give this album as a gift is great.	positive
0	Love Jillian, but HATE this workout!	I am a big fan of 30 day shred and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I also enjoy yoga styled workouts like Ellen Barrett's Studio Series, so I imagined Jillian's Yoga Meltdown to be a perfect marriage of the two. Boy was I wrong.The poses are awkward and unnatural, the moves do not flow, and there is no deep breathing or mind-body aspect to this workout. Jillian's approach and instruction work great for her other videos, but I found myself frustrated, bored, and annoyed with this one. Total waste of money.	negative
1	Revived an old favorite	The power supply went out in one of my older computers. It still had a lot of life, and it performed very well. This was a good price and quality for a replacement power supply and installed very easily.	positive
1	Elite Folding Rocker	This is the best rocker I have found. I bought 2 of these for my parents and they enjoy them. They are comfortable and easy to clean. Fold up nicely for storage.	positive
0	Tip and shaft come apart all the time.	Poker is made in 3 parts which are screwed together. The handle screws on securely but the shaft and tip dont seat securely. It comes apart all the time during use. Buy something better.	negative
1	Tiny but POWERFUL camcorder	I got this camcorder as an early Christmas gift so I could learn how to use if before Christmas. I simply love the small size and the touchscreen. The menu's seem to be easy to navigate.The quality of the images is excellent. This thing picks up every background noise. I could hear my husband clear as day on the playback, even though he was in a room down the hall. I have no issues with it picking up the noise. Heck, that is what a camcorder is for!So far so good! I would definetly recommend this to a friend etc.	positive
1	If you liked Schweinstein...	If you loved Schweinstein like me then you'll most definitely love the follow-up remix album! I recently picked up the Schweinstein disc and haven't been able to stop listening to it so naturally when I found out about the remix album, I immediately ordered it and had it shipped 2nd day. Strangely enough, the album Schweinstein got mixed reviews by it's listeners. I ponder what exactly those people we're expecting or looking for out of this release. Both are extremely reminiscent of works by KMFDM, Pig, Sow, Schaft and Slick Idiot but with an occasional Eastern twist. A must have for fans of the aforementioned and a real masterpiece in my opinion. Comes highly recommended by me. I simply cannot see how anyone could be disappointed with this.	positive
1	A Delightful Slice Of Heaven	Another delightful slice of Buffett's calypso style is very ear catching to me. The Calypso beats of Volcano and Boat Drinks are indeed pleasant. Is there any lyricist today that can match Jimmy's ability to create a scene? I doubt it.	positive
1	Breaking Bad	A really great hard hiring well written and acted series. Good thing to watch on a cold night It truly does not promote drug use	positive
1	I love this album even though I don't like rap	The first time I heard this I did not know who Snoop Dogg was. I thought it sounded more like R&B than rap. I like this whole album how he has merged the styles of R&B and rap into his own sound. Parents should definitely heed the explicit lyrics warning.	positive
1	excellent PDA	I like my ASUS A626 very much. I never have a problem with wi-fi signal strength where I use it. Big bright screen, and all the tools to keep me organized and in touch with email and calendar. And I can get my butt whipped at chess while I ride the bus.	positive
0	Problem downloading video - resolved	Update: it took from Friday afternoon until Tuesday night to resolve the problem, but it has been resolved. If you cannot start the download, ask if they have resolved the issue with the "incorrect character in the title of the show" and it should put them on the right track. The episode is fun - if you enjoy the series, you will enjoy this one. I bought this several days ago and cannot download it. I have called customer service thinking something was wrong with my PC. I was told there was a problem with this specific episode, but it would be fixed shortly. I am past the deadline they gave me for fixing the problem, but the video still will not download. The episode itself may be wonderful, I love this series, but be warned that you may not be able to watch it.	negative
1	Intelligent Comedy	The writers of this comedy have many really smart things to say. I recommend this film. The casting is perfect. The dramatic and comedic acting are superb. The film editing is brisk. If you want to know more about relationships in general, or if you want to know more about feelings and conflicts that commonly occur with pregnancies, this is an exceptionally real, stressful, and meritorious film.	positive
0	Nothing special	As far as driving games go, Test Drive offers nothing particularly compelling. It sets itself apart from other driving games in that it attempts to wrap a story around the races. Seeing where this story goes makes for interesting gameplay, but that's about it.The driving itself is pretty fun, with courses ranging from twisting urban environment to rurual settings where you can really open it up. You have a variety of cars at your fingertips, ranging from classic muscle cars to modern Italian supercars.The biggest downside to the game is that there is no damage model whatsoever. If you get into a head on at full speed you'll see some impressive physics as the other car goes flying, but no cars sustain any damage. All you loose is time.Test Drive is worth a rent, but there are better driving games out there for the XBox (such as Burnout and Project Gotham).	negative
0	nice for transport, but not temperature control	I still use this as something to pack food in, but I don't expect it to keep food warm or cool. I kept it in the freezer overnight to pack fruit or cheese/meat in, hoping it would keep it cool. No, not really. Same with hot food, I heated it first with water from a tea kettle, then put hot food in, and it didn't seem to keep it any warmer than just a regular non insulated container. But it's fine for transport.	negative
1	Really good read - just a little short.	Good, satisfying read in the style of a techno-thriller in space. Could have been a bit longer, if anything. Keeps you wanting to read more.	positive
1	wow	Phenomenal work. Takes us back to the origins of the blues and leaves us at the doorstep of hip hop, wondering what could be.	positive
1	heart warming,and very sad	I recemend this book to anybody who loves to read,I would demand anybody who reads this review to by FREAK THE MIGHTY.	positive
0	Too big!	This was too big even though I have other rings in size 10 that fits me perfectly! Very strange - totally useless to me. Otherwise cool.	negative
1	Great storyteller!	I haven't been able to put it down. There are only a couple of times when the action lulls. The story line is great!	positive
0	irritating	This album is often compared to The Big Express, but I have to disagree. I love The Big Express, and Black Sea, while it has all the obnoxiousness of that album, is not nearly as weird and definitely not as catchy. Most of this album strikes me as completely uninspired.	negative
0	Wow - Most horrible re-recording I have ever heard.	No wonder it is so cheap. Thank goodness I only wasted a few bucks. If you want to listen to the songs of Billy J. Kramer as you heard them on the radio when they came out, you will have to find another CD of the original recordings.	negative
0	Poorly written	I thought the topic seemed interesting. The writing is hard to follow, tons of names which probably mean a lot to the author but not to the reader. It reminded me of memoirs written by family members, great if you know them, but only if you do. Too few facts, too many personal experiences which are of little interest to people outside the family circle.	negative
1	Wow!! Chuck is Back!!	I love this series. Last year had a few low spots, I thought, but this season is superb. It's funny as ever, and the action is great. Great looking girls, real he-men, and let us not forget: the BUY MORE is back with its old crew. Man this is Chuck with a capital CHUCK.	positive
0	wow	How the hell did this lame effort get recorded and released?? Why? Whose bad idea was this?In the period 1955 - '65 tens of thousands of kids across the USA played these pieces this badly, or perhaps less badly, myself among them. Ditto 10 years later, 20 years later, and 30 years later, when my own kids did so. Keane even makes the same mistakes at the same rough spots I did.Whoever wrote the metronome/Hannon advice is spot-on. Hands separately, then together. Bring out the appropriate voices. (Listening) Please, God, make it stop hurting. This is not to be encouraged or repeated. Back to the Fortnightly Musical Club for KK.Please tell me this was not her parents' and teacher's doing. The late teachers Marley Johnson and Allen Barker, like hundreds elsewhere across the decades, are cringing, patiently but firmly, in their graves.	negative
1	Quick, Easy and Delicious	I bought this book because I don't have alot of time to cook dinner. I also happen to like Thai food. I had no idea I would use it as much as I do. Almost everything can be cooked in one wok or pan. Most of the recipes can be made within a half hour. Best of all, it has really opened my mind to using ingredients I have not been accustomed to using, such as fish sauce and chile paste. Although I had to order some of the ingredients, they keep for a long time and the recipes in this book use them so often that there is no wasting money by buying an ingredient I will only use in one or two dishes. I use this cookbook at least twice per week for dinner. Very highly recommended.	positive
0	Waste of money. Won't hold a curl. Doesn't get hot enough.	Waste of money. Won't hold a curl. Doesn't get hot enough. I tried multiple times to get this product to work. Let it sit and heat up for 20 to 30 min. and more and the results were the same. The curls fall out in about an hour. My hair curls easily but not with these things.	negative
1	better than previous model	The Forerunner is great. Compared to model 301, this model has a better heart rate monitor, locks on to satellite quicker, and is more accurate in measuring location and speed.	positive
1	Not Consistently Fabulous	I am addicted to this show, and have been since Season 1. I actually bought the first 4 seasons as soon as they were released, watched the episodes once, breathlessly, and donated them to the public library.Now, I'm watching each episode on my laptop through Amazon's instant video. Today there was nothing even though it was supposed to be on AMC!Can anyone tell me why?BTW I feel that most of the episodes this season have been weaker than the previous.Does anyone agree?	positive
0	Not indestructable!	Not only was I disappointed that the vehicle didn't include the battery pack which we purchased for another $30, but my 7 year old son ran it through a large water puddle in the yard after 15 minutes of playing time and now it doesn't work at all! For an outdoor toy, it would seem reasonable to expect a child would drive it through puddles and that it would still work!	negative
1	Great!	I love Järvi's Shotakovich in general. He keeps this monster moving a good pace. The sound is very good, and Gothenburg is a highly under rated orchestra.	positive
1	L.A's finest with LA COLLECTION of hits!!	This EP is tight, both lyrically and production wise, from start to finish. If anything its probably the best DEFARI release because all 6 songs are 100% dope, no filler allowed!! Lyrically he's at his pinnacle with some very intelligent, witty and purposeful rhymes. Defari always says something you're glad you heard+makes you want to hear more everytime. The beats here are all on point, with production credits going Joey Chavez, Evidence and Babu in equal measure. The standouts are every last track, particularly "Smack Ya Face" and "I Can't Wait", 2 of the finest Defari has dropped over his entire career. A must have for any LIKWIT/DEFARI fan but at that price you may have to be a diehard. Excellent EP.	positive
1	CDR Mavica discs	It is exactly what my Mavica camera likes, so do I. Delivery was instant with no troubles at all	positive
1	Purchase of DVD from Amazon	Product arrived earlier than expected, in A1 condition. Couldn't ask for more efficient service. Thanks Amazon.	positive
1	Still Has a Few Gems	Even though this book was published in recent years, some of the information is outdated, which a few readers have criticised it for (just read the other reviews on Amazon!).There are just a handful of pictures (in black and white) in the middle of the book, showing babies and toddlers in a Montessori-style home environment.This book may be more challenging for readers who are less familiar with Montessori education, however it is one of the only ones available for the age group of birth to three.The information is extensive, and some of it dense; and at 241 pages, will take longer to read.If you can get through the 241 pages, and some of the outdate information, there are many gems to be had!And since there are no other books, yet, that cover exclusively the birth to three ages, as a Montessori teacher, I still recommend reading it.	positive
0	Worst movie of the 20th Century!	I thought the movie was awful. Maybe because when I saw it, it was on New Year's Day 1998. (Can you say "Hangover"? I was actually still drunk!) So, sitting in a theater with a bunch of pre-pubescent girls who cried like the day they were born didn't make it a pleasant experience. The dialogue was banal, the love story was implausible, the villian (Cal Hockley) wasn't very villianous, the old lady was just plain annoying, Leonardo DiCaprio makes me sick no matter what he plays, and people obsessed over the movie long afterwards. GET OVER IT!! THE SHIP SANK! I admit, the special effects during the ssinking were chillingly real, that doesn't make up for the rest of this monstrocity of a movie. Let there be a lesson in all of this, $200 million was spent to make this film. That's enough for a taxi ride from Earth to Uranus and back 6 times!! Was it money well spent? I think not!	negative
0	Disappointing	I have only voted for a handful of Republicans in my life, and consider myself a liberal. I agree with Dean's impression of these people, and I think he was sincere in his convictions, not merely writing the book to gain influence or make money.To me the book was based on suppositions. Dean's conclusions were poorly supported, based on the research of one scientist. I was really disappointed in the book. I expected something thoughtful and well reasoned. It read like pop-psychology with very little meat. If Dean really were a political pyschologist, I might have taken it seriously. Since he is not an expert in the inner workings of political minds, it comes off sounding like a book report written by an impassioned college freshman.I found it very shallow and unsatisfying. I hate Bush, Cheney, Robertson and their ilk, but that doesn't predispose me to like a poorly written book just because I agree with the conclusions.	negative
1	Kodak Graphite Black Camera Bag/small	I have a Kodak Z812 IS, the Bag for it is Compact and well made. The Camera compartment for the Z812 IS is glove fit tight. The lower compartment is just right for Batteries, cables and memory cards. Belt's hook or hung from your neck using the 30" long looped strap that comes with it. Had it for over 4 months it has held perfect!.	positive
1	Great Reference	Used this book throughout my pregnancy and through the 1st year. Prepares you for pregnancy,up to 1st year and what to expect. I loved this book because it was my goto book for question's that I have and advice on how to care for the newborn and up.	positive
1	Liked It so much we're buying one for my sister in law:)	This product has done it's job for us, it's a great deal!Many of the reviewers complaining about it breaking must be heavier people and it may not handle that.Like anything you will hear bad stuff, but think of the factors that could contribute to it.	positive

0	You can do better	I bought a Poulan because of the price. Bad idea. You do get what you pay for. After a year of light use, starting it got very hard. Once it did start, it would run for a minute or two, stall out, and then could not be started until it was fully cooled down. I took it for service at a small engine shop I know and trust. When I went to pick it up, the mechanic told me he couldn't do much with it because the carb has very limited adjustability. He said the only fix would be a new carb, which he would not recommend because of cost, and because I would probably encounter the same problem again.	negative
1	This book is a marvel, and will be a classic....	This book, Merlyn, is destined to become a classic, a story for all time. It is a marvel. I loved the plot; I loved the people. I hated to see it end. I hope that Merlyn's story will go on and on, and I will read and re-read every volume. Don't ask me to part with these people; I can't. It's funny and scary, tender and ruthless, with a villain who will chill your marrow, a heroine you will love, a hero who will make you laugh, and most of all, the Enchanter, who will make you hope.	positive

1	I really liked this book	In Name Only is about Beth Carol Barnes, the daughter of a wealthy business magnate, who runs away to Hollywood from the small town in which she grew up, when she becomes pregnant from an affair with a boy from the wrong side of the tracks.In Hollywood she falls into the bad hands of the man she eventually marries, who forces her to act in a pornographic movie, prostitute herself, etc. but she still retains her innocence (or stupidity), somehow.Her child, Raleigh Barnes, becomes one of the greatest child stars who has ever lived in Hollywood, until tragedy strikes.But all is not as it seems.This book exposes a lot of the decay in Hollywood, kind of like Olivia Goldsmiths'sFlavor of the MonthThe ending of this book, is glorious. I have read it so many times and my copy is now a tattered mess.	positive
0	This machine sucks!	I bought this for my baby to listen to go to sleep. I wasn't expecting much, because of the price, but it was way worse than I expected.

It sounded like a really bad, staticky, a.m. radio station. Luckily amazon is really great about returns.	negative

Suppose to automatically turn filter off whenyou turn the water off.Keep your receipt if you buy one, "good Luck".	negative
1	Honeywell tower fan	This is a very nice fan overall. They make it very easy, by labeling, how to put this together and operate. An extra mile in the land of endless cost cuts. It moves a lot of air on any setting, and filters it. The remote and temp display is a bonus, but not really needed for me. Would be great to be backlit. I just wish it was a little quieter on low, but still is unobtrusive and sometimes nice background noise. The other reviews are right about this fan though, recommended and might buy another.	positive
0	Move along, move along...nothing to see here	(...) I never saw what the big deal about [the original Razor scooter itself ]was. Two little wheels screwed onto a piece of aluminum foil and rubber handlebars...I don't think so. Second, the game named after the fabled toy was even worse. Granted, it is a GBC game, but this was just weak. With almost nothing in the way of combos, tricks, or, well, fun, this game is for those who get bored easily, which, with this particular game, will just about everyone.	negative

0	Simply not worth the price.	I'm a huge fan of Judge Judy, I've watched hundreds of episodes over the last ten years. I guess that's obvious though, why else would I have purchased this DVD?Well, the DVD is disappointing. It only has 9 cases, none of which are particularly long or much more interesting than the show itself. It has a couple 60 minutes interviews that are cool, just because it was neat to see Judge Judy in her former "life" so-to-speak and with her family. But, all said and done, this DVD isn't even worth the $12 asking price.If I buy a DVD of a show like this, I expect to at least be given more than an hours worth of cases and some slapped-together "extra" content. I would not recommend purchasing this DVD as you are better off just watching the show.	negative
1	Good but not perfect	I have found these crutches to work very well. They are more comfortable than standard crutches. The springs reduce the shock on your wrists and the angle of the hand grips is more comfortable as well. So far they have stood up with no breakage. The only problem I have encountered is that the ergonomically designed grips can cause blisters on the heel of your palm if you have to use them for a continuous, extended period of time. Otherwise, they have been great.	positive
0	A little tricked and don't like it!	I bought this toner in a 'package' deal with my fax...problem is that I was ripped off by over $8.00 shipping that was separate from the free shipping I got for my fax. I'm not happy about this and I recommend NOT buying the toner and fax together...they'll rip you off with the shipping cost...over $8.00 to ship a toner that weighs a few ounces, Amazon should be ashamed and not let this happen!	negative
0	Too late for me, but save yourself.	Being a chessplayer (more or less) I will watch any movie that touches on the subject. Of course, I expect most of them to get it wrong and in that I am rarely disappointed. That doesn't mean these movies can't be entirely watchable and even enjoyable like "Revolver" or on the lower end "Hatley High" which is only intermittently excruciating. However, I was unable to watch more than half of "Checkmate". I became increasingly disgusted with the writer(s) and embarrassed for the actors. Ridiculous without being funny. Stupid, and demeaning for all involved. This is an ugly mugging that you'll wish you hadn't witnessed.	negative
1	EXCELLENT BOOK ON THE TRUTH OF EVIL	This book is the truth! and I really enjoyed reading what "they" the evil ones have to say about this book their "ratings",and what the truth really is. And they hate it!the truth.

More Mac Problems

The manufacturer published a new version of the Apple Mac software November 2, 2010 and it installs correctly and functions fine on the Intel based Macs running OS10.6 (Snow Leopard). Upon booting a custom menu pops up allowing you to login with a fingerprint swipe, a password, or both. The scanner recognizes my fingers first swipe every time. It's best to register more than one finger incase you get a cut and have to wear a bandage.

i ordered a two and a half inch and got a 2 inch. this is what the company said, "the strainer we sent you is in fact the right size. There is an error on the listing, but we didn't list the item we can't change it. There are no such size of 2.5" for lavatory. Danco do not make that size. All this type of strainer is standard universal size.

Not what I was hoping for

My 9 month old son loves to bang things, but for some reason, he gets bored with this almost as soon as he starts playing with it. I love Leapfrog toys, and this one has such high ratings, I am surprised it's not a bigger hit. The only thing I can figure is maybe he doesn't like the kid's voice shouting the letters (I know I don't). Plus, it turns off much too quickly and there is no way a baby can reactivate it unless he happens to hit the star button in front. It would be nice if you could re-activate it by hitting it, but that doesn't work.My son prefers the LeapFrog Discovery Ball. It has really helped him learn cause and effect. He loves spinning the ball. Plus, it has a volume control and can also be re-activated easily by spinning the ball. In our house, it definitely is superior to the Learning Drum.

a conventional view of mankind

this book exists to support the author's opinion that man is brutish and destructive.this was written well before clinical studies of violance, child abuse, the effects of peer pressure, etc. it reflects the basic christain view that man is vile.itis obvious that golding never considers that by the time any of these boys has spent time in their families and then in the prep school, any natural impulse has been thoroughly ground out bysocial standards. these boys are as affected by all they psychological influences as adults, with fewer methods to deal with them.of course they revert to so-called savagery--it's what they experienced at their school. of course there are no intelligent responses, we aren't trained to use intelligent response.the book is a polemic of the conservative christian--man is vile and must be controlled or he will become a savage.nurture has no place.i find it a completely annoying book, presenting an unrealistic result.

Great for our deck

We needed a barrier to keep our 17 month old toddler from leaving our deck area. The exit area is just about 5 feet wide and most gates wont fit. In addition the area is uncovered and exposed to the elements so a wood or metal gate would not have worked. The telescoping design and heavy plastic construction are exactly what we needed. It frustrates our toddler to be trapped but I feel good knowing I can take my attention away for a moment without worrying she'll get into the yard unsupervised.

Nice, in theory...keeps breaking

The CS10 is certainly everything a cordless headset should be: small, lightweight and well-designed. However, I'm now on my third unit in as many months, and it, too, just died. Evidently the belt pack and the base station "forget" how to communicate with each other over time.Too bad...Plantronics has always been *the* name is business phone accessories, but I'm afraid it's time to go hunting for a replacement.

Outstanding!

This was the first book I've read that specifically focused on criminal profiling and furthered my interest on the subject. Wonderful read, couldn't put the book down until I finished. Anyone aspiring for a career in criminology has to read Douglas' books. Amazing author and profiler! Furthers your knowledge of types of killers, profiles them and predicts the most likely suspect through physical, educational, marital backgrounds, etc. I'm hoping to read his others! 5 stars for me, no doubt about that. My favorite True Crime book yet. Nothing boring about it.

Complete waste; kids are upset.

I purchased this guitar for my 14 year old son. On Christmas day, he excitedly opened the guitar. Within one hour, the first string broke. The carrying case has a broken zipper (broken on receipt). Our neighbor, a musician, attempted to fix the broken string with no success. Any new strings would break. I knew that this was a "deal" financially, and was just wanting an inexpensive "first guitar" for my teen to see how interested he was in playing. Sadly, he was upset that it broke within the first hour. This was his "big gift" for Christmas. I will attempt to return the item. Hopefully, the seller will cooperate.

A complete disappointment!

I was so disappointed by this product. It is quite wasteful: requires two 12 ounce packages of chocolate and then it requires at least 3/4 of OIL to be added to the chocolate (making it even more unhealthy!) to supposedly get it thin enough to work but I couldn't get it to work- it could never get thin enough and then it is quite difficult to clean (bowl doesn't separate). total waste...

Ball Not Included

My cats could chase the ball around for hours -- if a ball had been included in the package. The thing comes sealed in plastic (and included the promised catnip), so the ball didn't fall out. Somewhere in China, there's probably a sweatshop worker trying to sell Bergan Turbo Scratcher balls to Siamese cats on the blackmarket.Amazon agreed to refund my money if I returned the ball-less cat toy, but that's a hassle. So is finding the right sized plastic ball, but I want to find out if the product frustrates my cats as much as it has me.

Love Jerry and Dean, just not this version

I was very disappointed with this....I realize it is a 1950 film, however, the sound and picture were off much if not all of the film. Additionally, it wasn't listed as a DVD-R, but is. Wish it had been a better quality production with sound and picture in sync as I really wanted it for my collection.

Just Ok

This book is a compilation of many newspaper articles and facts written about the Shah. There is nothing new here except for a heavy book with lots of misspellings and typos. Many pages are devoted to characters that come in contact with the royal family during their exile (i.e. Manuel Noriega, Omar torrijos etc.)and very little written about the private side of his life and his dealings with his family, friends and close aids.

Don't buy it!

Well, I used FP98 and hoped that FP2000 would have gotten rid of a lot of the quirks the previous version had...NOT! Talk about frustration. I tried editing an HTML file in FP and it ended up scrambling my code. And when I tried to save the code the way I wanted it FP would automatically rearrange it. Plus, it would add it's own little HTML tags along with it.Another key issue was WYSINWYG (what you see is NOT what you get). You'd place text fields, buttons, etc. in certain places on the page and when you previewed the page they would be misaligned, off-centered, or whatever.I could go on forever on other quirks FP has, but I'll just leave it at that. Do yourself a favor and buy Metacreations' Dreamweaver.

Poor Quality - Metallic Taste in Water

I was expecting a much better product. Although it met my needs regarding size and environmental impact, it is made of poor stainless steel material (another poorly made product from China). After a couple of uses, the water has a metallic taste. No telling what it is I am really drinking as there is no way of knowing what is leaching into my water. I will be recycling this! Very disappointed and I will be using a glass from now on. I cannot recommend this product at all.

The only 'Diet' Book you will ever need to TRANSFORM your life!

I heard this author speak a few years ago and fell in love with her simple, straightforward approach to eating and living a healthy life! This is truly the only 'health' book a person needs if they are seeking to improve their lifestyle and their overall way of taking care of themselves. The advice is practical, easy to remember, and easy to incorporate into a daily routine. And - it delivers strong results, from weight loss to lowering blood pressure to simply preserving a healthy lifestyle well in our years. I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about their overall well-being. We only have one body....what's holding us back from preserving its sanctity?

Glad to see the message of Love , Hope

Glad to see the message of Love, Hope and prosperity being spoken by a well meaning minister. Joel Osteen is a refreshing voice in the crowd of fear, hate and shame that too many christian preachers need to express. What he says is not new but it is being delivered in such a positive and understandable manner. If your looking for ways to change your life for the better, Pastor Osteen delivers. You should also checkout the books written by Neale Donald Walsch, "Conversations With God" series and his others for more of this uplifting message.

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

This book smacks of being done by researchers, not experts in the field. It is very outdated. It does not feature modern refrigerants, tools, or service techniques. While some of the information will always be applicable to the field, the information is researched, borrowed...not from the authors' experience in the field. My father was teaching me in the late 1960's. Had he given me this book I would have thought it useful but a bit old fashioned. You can tell the authors do not practice in the field or the shop or they would have realized their information was from the refrigeration dinasaur age!

Not too heavy on the electronica please, thanx.

after several years with no new material, underworld came back with much heavier beats that I'd expected, but I'm pleased with their results. Darkness and rhythm pervade this cd, along with catchy riffs and lyrics. Although in the "electronica" genre, it's not really all that heavy, there's still some non-mechanical talent making the sound. I keep this album in my car, as the beats lend themselves to late night driving, with freeway lights passing quietly outside your windows.If you liked "Underneath the radar" and "Change the weather", you'll be pleasantly surprised by this release.

Great entertainment throughout the year!

Now you can have Halloween every day! I start using this tarot intensely at the end of August, since I just can't wait for fall. You can almost smell the autumn leaves and taste the candy as you shuffle the cards with pumpkins, ghosts, bats, and imps in an orange and purple motif! Uncanny accurate adaption of traditional tarot cards. An adventurous black cat takes the journey through the deck to the happy-ending World card. Not scary, especially good for kids and the nervous, a big plus at parties. The book is uncomplicated, gives a good history of Halloween and the authors' fascination with the holiday. The card meanings fit the pictures and are beginner-friendly. Don't miss this fun deck.

Boy was I wrong.The poses are awkward and unnatural, the moves do not flow, and there is no deep breathing or mind-body aspect to this workout.

Strangely enough, the album Schweinstein got mixed reviews by it's listeners. I ponder what exactly those people we're expecting or looking for out of this release. Both are extremely reminiscent of works by KMFDM, Pig, Sow, Schaft and Slick Idiot but with an occasional Eastern twist. A must have for fans of the aforementioned and a real masterpiece in my opinion. Comes highly recommended by me. I simply cannot see how anyone could be disappointed with this.

Nothing special

As far as driving games go, Test Drive offers nothing particularly compelling. It sets itself apart from other driving games in that it attempts to wrap a story around the races. Seeing where this story goes makes for interesting gameplay, but that's about it.The driving itself is pretty fun, with courses ranging from twisting urban environment to rurual settings where you can really open it up. You have a variety of cars at your fingertips, ranging from classic muscle cars to modern Italian supercars.The biggest downside to the game is that there is no damage model whatsoever. If you get into a head on at full speed you'll see some impressive physics as the other car goes flying, but no cars sustain any damage. All you loose is time.Test Drive is worth a rent, but there are better driving games out there for the XBox (such as Burnout and Project Gotham).

No, not really. Same with hot food, I heated it first with water from a tea kettle, then put hot food in, and it didn't seem to keep it any warmer than just a regular non insulated container. But it's fine for transport.

Really good read - just a little short.

Good, satisfying read in the style of a techno-thriller in space. Could have been a bit longer, if anything. Keeps you wanting to read more.

irritating

This album is often compared to The Big Express, but I have to disagree. I love The Big Express, and Black Sea, while it has all the obnoxiousness of that album, is not nearly as weird and definitely not as catchy. Most of this album strikes me as completely uninspired.

Wow - Most horrible re-recording I have ever heard.

No wonder it is so cheap. Thank goodness I only wasted a few bucks. If you want to listen to the songs of Billy J. Kramer as you heard them on the radio when they came out, you will have to find another CD of the original recordings.

Poorly written

I thought the topic seemed interesting. The writing is hard to follow, tons of names which probably mean a lot to the author but not to the reader. It reminded me of memoirs written by family members, great if you know them, but only if you do. Too few facts, too many personal experiences which are of little interest to people outside the family circle.

Wow!! Chuck is Back!!

I love this series. Last year had a few low spots, I thought, but this season is superb. It's funny as ever, and the action is great. Great looking girls, real he-men, and let us not forget: the BUY MORE is back with its old crew. Man this is Chuck with a capital CHUCK.

How the hell did this lame effort get recorded and released?? Why? Whose bad idea was this?In the period 1955 - '65 tens of thousands of kids across the USA played these pieces this badly, or perhaps less badly, myself among them. Ditto 10 years later, 20 years later, and 30 years later, when my own kids did so. Keane even makes the same mistakes at the same rough spots I did.Whoever wrote the metronome/Hannon advice is spot-on. Hands separately, then together. Bring out the appropriate voices. (Listening) Please, God, make it stop hurting. This is *not* to be encouraged or repeated. Back to the Fortnightly Musical Club for KK.Please tell me this was not her parents' and teacher's doing. The late teachers Marley Johnson and Allen Barker, like hundreds elsewhere across the decades, are cringing, patiently but firmly, in their graves.

Quick, Easy and Delicious

I bought this book because I don't have alot of time to cook dinner. I also happen to like Thai food. I had no idea I would use it as much as I do. Almost everything can be cooked in one wok or pan. Most of the recipes can be made within a half hour. Best of all, it has really opened my mind to using ingredients I have not been accustomed to using, such as fish sauce and chile paste. Although I had to order some of the ingredients, they keep for a long time and the recipes in this book use them so often that there is no wasting money by buying an ingredient I will only use in one or two dishes. I use this cookbook at least twice per week for dinner. Very highly recommended.

Waste of money. Won't hold a curl. Doesn't get hot enough. I tried multiple times to get this product to work. Let it sit and heat up for 20 to 30 min. and more and the results were the same. The curls fall out in about an hour. My hair curls easily but not with these things.

Not Consistently Fabulous

I am addicted to this show, and have been since Season 1. I actually bought the first 4 seasons as soon as they were released, watched the episodes once, breathlessly, and donated them to the public library.Now, I'm watching each episode on my laptop through Amazon's instant video. Today there was nothing even though it was supposed to be on AMC!Can anyone tell me why?BTW I feel that most of the episodes this season have been weaker than the previous.Does anyone agree?

Not indestructable!

Not only was I disappointed that the vehicle didn't include the battery pack which we purchased for another $30, but my 7 year old son ran it through a large water puddle in the yard after 15 minutes of playing time and now it doesn't work at all! For an outdoor toy, it would seem reasonable to expect a child would drive it through puddles and that it would still work!

L.A's finest with LA COLLECTION of hits!!

This EP is tight, both lyrically and production wise, from start to finish. If anything its probably the best DEFARI release because all 6 songs are 100% dope, no filler allowed!! Lyrically he's at his pinnacle with some very intelligent, witty and purposeful rhymes. Defari always says something you're glad you heard+makes you want to hear more everytime. The beats here are all on point, with production credits going Joey Chavez, Evidence and Babu in equal measure. The standouts are every last track, particularly "Smack Ya Face" and "I Can't Wait", 2 of the finest Defari has dropped over his entire career. A must have for any LIKWIT/DEFARI fan but at that price you may have to be a diehard. Excellent EP.

Still Has a Few Gems

Even though this book was published in recent years, some of the information is outdated, which a few readers have criticised it for (just read the other reviews on Amazon!).There are just a handful of pictures (in black and white) in the middle of the book, showing babies and toddlers in a Montessori-style home environment.This book may be more challenging for readers who are less familiar with Montessori education, however it is one of the only ones available for the age group of birth to three.The information is extensive, and some of it dense; and at 241 pages, will take longer to read.If you can get through the 241 pages, and some of the outdate information, there are many gems to be had!And since there are no other books, yet, that cover exclusively the birth to three ages, as a Montessori teacher, I still recommend reading it.

Worst movie of the 20th Century!

I thought the movie was awful. Maybe because when I saw it, it was on New Year's Day 1998. (Can you say "Hangover"? I was actually still drunk!) So, sitting in a theater with a bunch of pre-pubescent girls who cried like the day they were born didn't make it a pleasant experience. The dialogue was banal, the love story was implausible, the villian (Cal Hockley) wasn't very villianous, the old lady was just plain annoying, Leonardo DiCaprio makes me sick no matter what he plays, and people obsessed over the movie long afterwards. GET OVER IT!! THE SHIP SANK! I admit, the special effects during the ssinking were chillingly real, that doesn't make up for the rest of this monstrocity of a movie. Let there be a lesson in all of this, $200 million was spent to make this film. That's enough for a taxi ride from Earth to Uranus and back 6 times!! Was it money well spent? I think not!

Disappointing

I have only voted for a handful of Republicans in my life, and consider myself a liberal. I agree with Dean's impression of these people, and I think he was sincere in his convictions, not merely writing the book to gain influence or make money.To me the book was based on suppositions. Dean's conclusions were poorly supported, based on the research of one scientist. I was really disappointed in the book. I expected something thoughtful and well reasoned. It read like pop-psychology with very little meat. If Dean really were a political pyschologist, I might have taken it seriously. Since he is not an expert in the inner workings of political minds, it comes off sounding like a book report written by an impassioned college freshman.I found it very shallow and unsatisfying. I hate Bush, Cheney, Robertson and their ilk, but that doesn't predispose me to like a poorly written book just because I agree with the conclusions.

You can do better

I bought a Poulan because of the price. Bad idea. You do get what you pay for. After a year of light use, starting it got very hard. Once it did start, it would run for a minute or two, stall out, and then could not be started until it was fully cooled down. I took it for service at a small engine shop I know and trust. When I went to pick it up, the mechanic told me he couldn't do much with it because the carb has very limited adjustability. He said the only fix would be a new carb, which he would not recommend because of cost, and because I would probably encounter the same problem again.

This book is a marvel, and will be a classic....

This book, Merlyn, is destined to become a classic, a story for all time. It is a marvel. I loved the plot; I loved the people. I hated to see it end. I hope that Merlyn's story will go on and on, and I will read and re-read every volume. Don't ask me to part with these people; I can't. It's funny and scary, tender and ruthless, with a villain who will chill your marrow, a heroine you will love, a hero who will make you laugh, and most of all, the Enchanter, who will make you hope.

I really liked this book

In Name Only is about Beth Carol Barnes, the daughter of a wealthy business magnate, who runs away to Hollywood from the small town in which she grew up, when she becomes pregnant from an affair with a boy from the wrong side of the tracks.In Hollywood she falls into the bad hands of the man she eventually marries, who forces her to act in a pornographic movie, prostitute herself, etc. but she still retains her innocence (or stupidity), somehow.Her child, Raleigh Barnes, becomes one of the greatest child stars who has ever lived in Hollywood, until tragedy strikes.But all is not as it seems.This book exposes a lot of the decay in Hollywood, kind of like Olivia Goldsmiths'sFlavor of the MonthThe ending of this book, is glorious. I have read it so many times and my copy is now a tattered mess.

This machine sucks!

I bought this for my baby to listen to go to sleep. I wasn't expecting much, because of the price, but it was way worse than I expected. The sounds were very inconsistant, going loud to soft without adjusting the volume and when I tried to adjust the volume it wouldn't work at all. It sounded like a really bad, staticky, a.m. radio station. Luckily amazon is really great about returns.

this author desparately needs a ghostwriter

The author of this book is an engineer not a writer and it shows.The author has a theory on the pyramids but he keeps on dancing around it going over old territory dropping hints until I at least gave up and quit. Mr. Dunn may have something interesting to say if he would ever say it! If he writes another book he should hire a ghost writer. I was very disappointed.

Honeywell tower fan

This is a very nice fan overall. They make it very easy, by labeling, how to put this together and operate. An extra mile in the land of endless cost cuts. It moves a lot of air on any setting, and filters it. The remote and temp display is a bonus, but not really needed for me. Would be great to be backlit. I just wish it was a little quieter on low, but still is unobtrusive and sometimes nice background noise. The other reviews are right about this fan though, recommended and might buy another.

Move along, move along...nothing to see here

(...) I never saw what the big deal about [the original Razor scooter itself ]was. Two little wheels screwed onto a piece of aluminum foil and rubber handlebars...I don't think so. Second, the game named after the fabled toy was even worse. Granted, it is a GBC game, but this was just weak. With almost nothing in the way of combos, tricks, or, well, fun, this game is for those who get bored easily, which, with this particular game, will just about everyone.

Simply not worth the price.

I'm a huge fan of Judge Judy, I've watched hundreds of episodes over the last ten years. I guess that's obvious though, why else would I have purchased this DVD?Well, the DVD is disappointing. It only has 9 cases, none of which are particularly long or much more interesting than the show itself. It has a couple 60 minutes interviews that are cool, just because it was neat to see Judge Judy in her former "life" so-to-speak and with her family. But, all said and done, this DVD isn't even worth the $12 asking price.If I buy a DVD of a show like this, I expect to at least be given more than an hours worth of cases and some slapped-together "extra" content. I would not recommend purchasing this DVD as you are better off just watching the show.

Good but not perfect

I have found these crutches to work very well. They are more comfortable than standard crutches. The springs reduce the shock on your wrists and the angle of the hand grips is more comfortable as well. So far they have stood up with no breakage. The only problem I have encountered is that the ergonomically designed grips can cause blisters on the heel of your palm if you have to use them for a continuous, extended period of time. Otherwise, they have been great.

I bought this toner in a 'package' deal with my fax...problem is that I was ripped off by over $8.00 shipping that was separate from the free shipping I got for my fax. I'm not happy about this and I recommend NOT buying the toner and fax together...they'll rip you off with the shipping cost...over $8.00 to ship a toner that weighs a few ounces, Amazon should be ashamed and not let this happen!

Too late for me, but save yourself.

Being a chessplayer (more or less) I will watch any movie that touches on the subject. Of course, I expect most of them to get it wrong and in that I am rarely disappointed. That doesn't mean these movies can't be entirely watchable and even enjoyable like "Revolver" or on the lower end "Hatley High" which is only intermittently excruciating. However, I was unable to watch more than half of "Checkmate". I became increasingly disgusted with the writer(s) and embarrassed for the actors. Ridiculous without being funny. Stupid, and demeaning for all involved. This is an ugly mugging that you'll wish you hadn't witnessed.

This book is the truth! and I really enjoyed reading what "they" the evil ones have to say about this book their "ratings",and what the truth really is. And they hate it!the truth. So it is written that evil will try and placate the "liberal ignorant" and in the end those Devil Democrats will lose, for if they win they will create their own desruction.
