I would have rated these as a 4 or 5 until they broke. It turns out the speaker assemblies are held to the headband by a single tiny screw and a low-grade plastic cap. Seriously AKG? They're still under warranty, but what a disappointment.Otherwise, they are very comfortable; I could wear these for hours & hours. The tradeoff is that they are a little loose - I had trouble keeping them in place when playing drums, but great for sitting in front of a computer.I replaced the AKGs with some Audio-Technicas which are louder, still quite comfy and seem to be of much more substantial construction.Update: Attempting to get service with AKG/Harmon under warranty. No response to email for one week.

Well here is the "rest" of the Blotto treasure chest! If you know who Blotto is then you want this CD! Many of the cuts are "Live" so you can close your eyes and relive the past for a few minutes. For those of you that never saw them live that's too bad... you missed out on all of the FUN! For someone not familiar with just who (what?) Blotto is I would recommend they buy the "Collected Works" CD first (you will be back for this one though !) Russ near Deeeetroit

I can't believe the signal is no stronger than it is. Usually, people would want to buy a device like this so they can hear music, not static. I purchased this and am quickly returning it. I get better reception from AM stations. Take my advice and spend a bit more for a better transmitter.I'm purchasing this one instead: iRiver AFT 100 Mobile FM TransmitterFrom what I've read, it's about the best available.

Geddy is the man on bass- he rips through the songs with the greatest of ease. Alex and Neil are awesome too. The song choice is good featuring some gems like Mission, Circumstances, Between the Wheels and A Passage to Bangkok. There are some times when Alex's guitar drowns everyone out. But then again, I've seen them live several times and this has always been the case at times. Overall, I would recommend. The Snake and Arrows songs are pretty good too especially Armor and Sword. It's great that these guys are "Endlessly Rockin'" !

This was the most disappointing thing I have ever bought. Plates wouldn't stay on, very hard to change out plates. Ended up wasting more seeds and fertilizer than if I had planted it with a hoe. Even wrote the company without any response. Don't waste your money on this thing!!!

I purchased this CD because I initially wanted to listen to about 10 of the 50 themes. Fortunately for me, I let the CD run and was instantly taken back to my childhood. I was surprised at how the lyrics of the themes just all came back to me.The audio quality is simply stunning, considering that these shows have been around for the longest time. The one thing that kind of bothers me is that Popeye's voice is about 4 octaves lower than what I remember.However, the rest of the CD is absolutely spectacular. If you were or still are a classic cartoon watcher, buy this CD! It would also make a great gift for your kids or fellow cartoon watchers. I promise you won't be disappointed!

As a supporter of polygamy, I was quite intrigued by Dr. Kilbride's book. As mentioned by other readers, this is not a book for entertainment. But it is very informitive. He covers not only the history of polygamy, both in the West as well as Africa, but also why this very common lifestyle disappeared from the landscape seemingly overnight. I certainly learned quite a bit, not only about my own history, but about the mechinisms that make polygamy viable, even today. Dr. Kilbride is not a practicing polygamist, so it was nice to see some objective work done ins a positive light. If you are looking for answers, or just curious how someone whould choose to live this way, this is a good place to start.

I can't say enough good things about these floor mats. They are better quality than I have found at my local discount stores. The mats are thicker, have better nubs on the bottom, better quality carpet, and they're larger and heavier. I drive a large sedan and these were also large enough to fit.I would go out of my way to buy these exact mats again, at least the front ones. The rear ones are just average. But, for twenty bucks, the front ones are worth it.

I enjoyed this book. My only warning is that one must read it in context of when it was written. In other words, there's no new ground-breaking information in the book, but it was probably all near-new stuff (at least to the West) when it was written.

A great show that kept gettng better I agree this was one of the better seasons. However at this time, for what ever reason (I don't "buy" the lack of interest considering what other duds of DVDs of other shows and movies are out there)they stopped producing this show onto DVD with this season.We KOTH fans would like to see more. This site is helping that happen.. I hope. [...].

I bought two sets, this "Teach Yourself ..." and "Pimluer Swedish Learn To ..." This one rapidly punges into moderately advanced lessons. The speaker pronounces words, but there is no pause for you to say it back and then hear it again. The pace is fast and unusable. I would suggest if someone spoke some Swedish, then this might be useful. For beginners, the Pimsleur is the way to go.

This case is strongly made and closes well. However, the included foam inserts are very cheap and offer no support. After carefully making cut-outs for my XD-9, I found that the foam was too feeble to support the gun properly and just looked cheap and saggy.After a difficult search on the web, I discovered another case maker, Pelican (on ebay), that sold replacement foam inserts, which I ordered. I found these to be of far better quality and well support the gun and accessories.In the end, it would have been cheaper and easier to have just bought the case from Pelican in the first place.To be honest, even the Pelican foam is not as good as the foam I used to use in the UK to carry heavy cameras in alluminum cases. That foam had a velvet surface and was extremely firm, but God only knows where to buy that!

I loved this book. I got it when it was free on Kindle - no idea what it was about, just bought it because it was free. I highly HIGHLY recommend it. It takes place back in the 1300's in England and everything about it was amazing. Love, betrayal, sex, and politics. GET IT NOW!!

In order for me to install XP home edition I had to have internet access first. Second, I thought I ordered the professional version @ $125.00 but received the Home version. Third I had to pay $129.00 to the geek squad to load the software onto my new computer.Software obviously are not made for easy loading; in the pass you purchase addition software and it was very easy to load onto your home computer. Had I know this I would have went ahead and purchased the full verion from Best Buy, Circuit City, ie., because I didn't save a penny.

If you're unsure about which view of the rapture is correct, look elsewhere. This book will definitely not solve your dilemma. Only one view is correct. The book was written in dialogue format. I know which view I believe but for those who are uncertain about what they believe, they will be more confused after reading this book. It's certainly not geared for the average reader.

I have always loved reading Anne McCaffrey's work, and I'm sure, had I purchased the book it would have also been a good read. But the Kindle version of this book is absolutely BAD!! Whoever edited this book needs to find another vocation. There are mis-spellings galore, and I suspect portions of the book are clearly missing, as the storyline jumps in places that make no sense whatsoever.Too bad, as my husband bought me a Kindle Fire for my birthday, and while I like the device, several of the books I have read on it have the same poor editing to some degree.Step up your game Amazon!!

This first American Psycho was just this really wonderful mixture of suspense, horror, and comedy. Christain Bale gave this wonderful performance. I was bored and decided to rent a dvd. I saw American Psycho 2 the cover art alone had me sold. But it was very misleading this movie wasn't anything in any that the first one was. It's preditable with a weak plot. The dvd's extra aren't anything much either. The only thing I like about this movie were the few and far in between witty comments that Mila Kunis character (can't even remember her name) said. Other then that this movie was a big bust. So if you must see this movie. It's your best bet to rent it and not waste your money. But if you must buy it I'm sure it will just collect dust.

If you must hear Bette doing standards go see the movie For The Boys and buy the soundtrack, but this cd is just in bad taste. This is almost as bad as Barry Manilow's Sinatra tribute cd. Midler sings a dozen of clooney's biggest hits and makes them all into trendy pop tunes adding hip hip, and tyechno dance beats, and in so many ways is disrespecting the memory of a laegendary woman. I'm sure bette wishes she could take this back, but it's too late. This cd is not worth hearing once, let alone repeated listenings. This went straight into my waste basket. What a shame Midler might have hired a jazz combo and made a classy effort at tributing Clooney properly instead you have this mess of overproduced comemrcialism. I've never been so disapointed.

I had been looking forward to this movie for a long time and I'm glad that I did not go to see it in theaters. I am very glad about that. However, I did rent it. I thought that it would be a hilarious movie much like Cheaper by the Dozen. Instead, it was just really poor. It seems like the comedy was missed in several areas. True, I did get a laugh or two out of the pig and stuff, but it was not that funny, and it was a disappointment of what I had expected. I am glad I didn't see it in theaters; but I can honestly say that I probably won't be watching it again because it's pretty lame. I don't really see how it could appeal to any genre of audience...

Well I wanted to rush out to the store of June 12th when this album came out but I couldn't. One of my co-workers told me not to buy the new blink album, in another week or so she bought it for me as a graduation gift. I had previously heard some song samples from realplayer since napster sold out. I was pretty surprised, although the band members said they had more of a punk twist on this album, I didn't hear it tell me if I'm missing soemthing... Over all though I still liked it, I'm a big fan and can't wait to see them in August at my home town's fair. My favorite blink songs come from Dude Ranch Josie and Damn it. My favorite songs from the new album are Story of a lonely guy and Untitled.

I had to return this item. It never worked correctly from the beginning. Setup was pretty easy. Simply follow the directions. The remote transmitter never worked more than 15 feet from the receiver. The transmitter unit never registered the temperature correctly. Transmission of temperature had a lag in it,which was long enough to cause a problem of burning something up. The documentation says it is not recommended to use the probes in a covered grill.

U3 works on some machines and not others. The support from Sandisk is canned and didn't help.

The word "essential" is used alot in regard to records, but here it fits the bill and then some: it belongs in anyone's collection. I especially enjoyed hearing full-length versions of "Let Yourself Go", "Bring It Up", "Cold Sweat", and "Papa's...Bag"; the pre-edit "Money Won't Change You"; and the prev. unrel. tracks from '68 and '71. However, I was disappointed to note that some notable JB non-hits like "Georgia.." and "If If I Ruled The World", two concert staples, were omitted, and could have fit in if some long tracks had been used in "Part One" form.

If you want to read a book about being buried in muck, this is the book for you! I only got halfway through this one. It was painful to read because the action was so slow, and I couldn't care less about the characters, even poor Chekov as written.The thing that annoyed me the most though is that the writer didn't seem to think about the world (s)he was writing in. The characters spoke and acted as if the colony had been around for years, the people having old sayings and developed farmlands and ranches and old habits, when the book itself says they've been on this new planet for about 6 weeks! Flaws in logic continued throughout, and combining that with muddy characters (in more ways than one) that I didn't care about, I just couldn't find a reason to go on. Don't waste your time.

I had to give this stars, but the star rating questions were for a toy. This is indicative of the struggle I had in finding an appropriate costume for a wedding. Almost all of the other men's costumes I found looked like they were for children who were adult sized, or they were pirate costumes.When I found this costume, it was not only adult looking, but the price easily sealed the deal on the choice. Only thing I didn't like is the lack of pockets on the entire costume, so be sure to take a satchel or other pouch along for your usual valuables.

I can't believe I wasted the time reading this book. Here's a plot:1. Orphaned boy2. Goes on a quest3. With his buddies4. Led by an elderly sage5. To prevent the spread of evil.Sound familiar? It should, it has been written thousands of times since Tolkein first published the Hobbit, et al. Some are better than others (Jordan's first 5 books, and Tad Williams); some add unique twists (Carol Berg and Lawrence Watt Evans); while some are downright miserable reads. Sadly, this book qualifies in the later category.The theme was horrid, the pacing bad, and I didn't care about one character. While I generally give an author the benefit of the doubt and read at least two or three books in a series before I pass judgment, I won't be purchasing or reading this series. Want a good book? Read Martin, Marcos, Hobbs and Watt-Evans.

After reading the cover endorsement by Microsft VP Victor Stone, my excitement soon dimmed when I studied Adam's writings. No clear picture of a recognizable architecture emerged.The book presents examples in C++ source code complete with at least two instances of potential memory leaks, while at the same time asserting this code's thread-safety! According to the bibliography Adam now works primarily with Java: at least no more memory leaks there.After reading this book I believe I now may have a much better understanding of why Microsoft may have internal problems with their ActiveX technology groups and possibly why so many of Microsoft's own COM-based applications tend to blow up so dramatically and so frequently.

I may be one of the few reviewers here who's actually read this book. Basically I'm a Kate fan. I think she's a bright, articulate lady and much of that comes through in this book. But I have to honestly say I'm just about burned out on these gimmicky books about the 10 or 20 or 100 people who are ruining the world, America, our families, the military...whatever. I really think everyone from Kate to Anne Coulter to Mick Savage to Sean has just gone to this well once too often, and frankly sometimes I think they're only doing it for my money. America's hurting, people. I think all reasonable people can agree on that. Right about now I'm wishing I'd spent my $[...] trying to relieve some of that hurt rather than contributing to this ridiculous, never ending left-right food fight.

This is an absolutely wonderful recording. The words are beautifully shaped and the singing is full of shading and colour and nuance.

I took the advice of the review above and bought the Char-Broil 68" (grey) cover from Lowe's for $14.99 It fits my brand new Weber Genesis Gold B like a glove (very snug due to velcro straps on bottom ends). Interior is fully lined which protects the beautiful stainless steel and the exterior is made of heavy vinyl. To pay $55 for a cover simply because it says Weber is foolish. This is a much better option. Spend the money you save on some steaks and wine.

Being that the first single, "All For You" is knockin', I thought that there would be more quality songs on this disk. True, indeed some of the songs are playful, but to who was this disk catering to?I have been a fan of Janet for years, and I have to say that this effort is disappointing. Yes, Janet is a GROWN woman in her thirties, but at the same time, wouldn't you think she's past the whole 'trying too hard to be overly sexy' stage? Janet is a beautiful woman, and does not need to market, promote or distribute music with overly explicit lyrics. She's a good performer, but this CD isn't a representation of that.You can buy it to complete your Janet collection, but I wasn't moved by it. And that's just my honest opinion.

The "Ruins" will certainly be a movie packed with grossly highlighted special effects. I don't understand the mostly favorable review given by the "NY Times Book Review". When do you ever see 6 "twenty something" people go anywhere without a cell phone? They do here and without this hiccup we have no story. In my humble opinion "Ruins" is a mostly boring and depressing tale that will do for plants what "JAWS" did for sharks. You will never look at your garden vines in the same light again. Buy it if you are going to Mexico or South America for a vacation otherwise wait for the library edition.

I was very happy to see it listed, but upon downloading it I discovered that it was not scalable and in very small print (almost too small to see!).

This was a wonderful novel. It captured me right from the beginning until the end. It is a bittersweet novel of one woman's journey through the ultimate loss that once can experience...that of a child. I am a parent of a young son and often I tried to put myself in the character's shoes and could feel some of those emotions. I also had lost my mother 2 years ago and I could relate to some of the grief related feelings that we all go through when experiencing the loss of a loved one.The author of this book has written this book in such a way where you really are drawn into the character and all her emotions.I highly recommend this book. I hope the author writes more novels as her writing style is simply wonderful.

Sad to say this book is far from on par with O'Reilly's usually high standards. It's more of a nutshell book, touching upon this and that and not explaining the underlying necessary knowledge one must know to write cgi's.My biggest complaint actually is that the authors spend most of the book talking about how to do things with the perl modules such as Carp and CGI.pm, so much so that they don't bother to tell you how to actually write the cgi's yourself without depending on these additional and usually unnecessary modules.I for one don't see how print $q->header( "text/html" ); is an improvement considering how perl is so natural language without all this garbage, and would like to learn how to program perl cgi prior to learning modules.

I felt the main character was flawed in ways that made me uncomfortable. The graphic sex seemed unnecessary and watching the full frontal fat naked man running down the street turned my stomach. Did I get all the subtle messages of the movie? Sure. It was a very introspective piece. Did I get all the romance about the wines and was moved? Sure. Can't help but look at wine differently after this movie. But to spice up an otherwise boring movie with sex is just pandering. The only saving grace was Sandra Ho...she is now one of my favorite actresses and I hope to see her in more things. This is one of those movies you either really love or really hate.

Summer Stock is a typical MGM movie. That's what makes it so good! This is the third and final teaming of Judy and Gene. I think they should have done movie movies because they were so great together in this one. Gene Kelly and Judy Garland do wonderful dances togther in this movie, and I have to say the best song is "Get Happy". The story about this song is MGM thought there wasn't enough songs in this movie so they added this one at the last minute! It turned out to be one of the best remembered songs from the film. And I promise you'll remember it too! I don't own this movie, but everytime it comes on tv, I have to watch it! That's how wonderful it is!

The Bluetooth with my nokia's 6311 and 5800 worked perfect. Speed of connection with satellite here in my country 7 out of 10.I think It have two cons:1. The external antenna makes it uncomfortable to manage, and seems to be very sensible.2. Lack of the function to save the route.

When I saw this book at our local bookseller's I was quite intrigued. But unfortunatley I was put off while reading the first pages. The author claims CO2 is a explosive gas and that birds of prey need fresh food. The first is obviously wrong. Years ago we visited a place in Germany where birds of prey were raised and trained. They were fed defrosted one day chicks (the males that get killed anyways). After these blunders I was not sure how much of the book I book I can believe .

"Angels with Dirty Faces" is definitely not party music, unless it's a party full of stoners and heroin addicts. Throw your bongs and needles away! "Angels" is dark, gloomy, erotic, and euphoric without the mind numbing affects of drugs. His electronical blues leaves me begging for more.

I don't understand why people are fooled by this book. The story is nothing more than poor trickery. The stories are OK, but the connection between them is poor and best and almost silly at times. The language used is well done, but the some of it becomes so hard to understand it makes it worthless... All in all don't listen to the hype...

The only good songs on this CD are Blue Monday, Du Hast, Got The Life, and Freak on a Leash. The rest of the CD is horrible. There should have been more Rammstein and Korn.

I found the book to be very help and the pictures were good but they could of been a little bit clearer. It also included the info needed to help you propagat of the flowers and all of the other useful hint and tips for the plants. I found this book to be very useful.

I'm very pleased. These are exactly as shown in the picture. I was a little afraid the colors would be off. My kids are masters at breaking things that are supposed to be "unbreakable" (four boys), but they haven't managed to break any of these yet. Looks like these might actually last a while.

A friend of mine reccomended this book to me and has raved about the zone. I tried the zone and did not experience all of the good things so many other readers have. I was constantly hungry. The food was overly bland and unsatifying. I almost gagged trying to eat some of the recipes because of the strange combinations and textures (...asparagus and egg white omelet). I still use some of the recipes (smoothies, a couple of salads, etc.) but this style did not fit me or my lifestyle. I did the full two weeks (my husband only made it for a couple of days) and still felt hungry constantly, still craved bread and carbohydrates, but I did lose a couple of pounds. It is a difficult regimen and takes all of the flavor out of food. It includes many vinegary, sharp tasting foods that just did not suit my appetite. Maybe it will work for someone else, but it did not work for me for the long term.

Everytime I visited, Sara, my cousin's daughter, she had her nose in this book. I, being a "have to know what's up" person plus an Amish author for young adults and Women's fiction, had to see how exciting the book was.I was very surprised! It is a fun, adventurous book with just the right touch of romance! It made me wan tto go to the Bahamas on a cruise. When it makes a Mennonite person want to kick back out on the beach- the author has cast her spell!

What a piece of liberal trash! My five year old found it useful to press flowers.

I remember when I first saw John Sayles's powerful and simbolic drama LIMBO. As soon as the final credits arrived in the screen, right after that devastating end, an unrecognizable Bruce Springsteen started to sing one of his mastearpeaces, LIFT ME UP. My God! What a song, and how wonderful was the Boss' capacity when it turns to be versatible. Sayles couldn't find a better way to crowd his best film. Impossible not to buy the soundtack, but also impossible was don't be surprised by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's terrific voice. I liked Mary Elizabeth in movies like THE ABYSS and THE COLOR OF MONEY, but now she's one my favorites. Try to listen her singing BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU... I promised it'd be something to always remember. Please, Mary Elizabeth, record an album now!

I couldn't wait for Full House to arrive at the bookstore. I thought it would be a fast read, and a fun new series to fill in the gaps between reading the Stephanie Plum books by Evanovich that are so enjoyed by her fans (myslef included). I bought the book and took it on vacation, only to realize that after forcing myself to read half of the book, I could not continue. The characters are not fun or entertaining, especially in comparison with the Plum characters. I hope that Janet Evanovich will shelve this book and any to follow in a series, and if not, develop the characters to be if not believable, at least fun.

This is quite possibly the worst movie I have even seen. Do not rent it, do not even think about renting it. Do not even think about thinking about renting it. Nonsense, this movie is total nonsense. Van Damme is a joke and he is getting too old. The Order is a direct to video release and that is for a reason.

This movie is a travesty. Literally it is the worst movie I have seen in my entire life. You would have to be born without a working brain to enjoy this. I loved the original it had a great story great casting as many have said it strayed from the r e Howard books but it was still a great movie. This new piece of garbage has none of these redeeming qualities and the only role I can think Jason mamoa would be good in is as one of the daughters on the cosby show as he is an ugly woman with a Jerry curl. Avoid this despise this and if anyone says they like it punch them in the face.

For Christmas I asked for a digital camera. Since my family goes with the "you can open one before Christmas", I got this under the Christmas tree. I starting taking pictures, and I can't believe how poor the image quality is! I'm taking it back on the 26th (I'm sure Wal-Mart isn't open tomorrow) first thing in the morning to get a camera other than HP!

When I purchased this the picture showed a bottle of NADH 10mg, 30 tablets. What I received was a box stating the same thing - 10mg, 30 tablets. So no big deal, right?The problem is that the back of the box states 2 tablets equal 1 dosage of 10mg. These are 5 MG TABLETS, so if you're thinking you'll be able to take 10mg per day for 30 days you'd be wrong. This package has enough for 15 days-NOT 30.

The ends of these break off very easily. Especially on the smaller sizes. The larger sizes seem to be ok. I would not purchase them again.

Great bow, but the arrows broke within a week taking them out of the target pad. So have lots of spares. But I got the bow for my wife and she loves it. She's a small lady and the pull is perfect for her.

This is a great album by a group of five African and European women. It features the original instrument "the human voice". A cappella at its best. African, French influence. A must listen! C'est magnifique.

These are long and wide enough to cover where needed. These are the next best thing to the pads that they give new moms after childbirth. They are useful for heavy days.

The Last Juror seems to show Grisham's change as an author. In his early works he wrote suspense stories. In The Last Juror the suspense which is secondary to the development of wonderful characters. Miss Callie is a wonderful woman who shows how a powerful force for good can make her whole family better. It is worth reading this book just to meet her.The rest of the small town characters such as Harry Rex and Baggy as well as Will himself and his grandmother are wonderfully drawn.Some reviewers have commented that the book lacked suspense. It seems that Grisham is moving in his work. Rather than a fast moving book such as Angels and Demons with little character development, Grisham is now writing slower moving books with wonderful characters. The Testament and the King of Torts are examples. I think that the new Grisham is every bit as enjoyable as the early Grisham but just a little different.

I liked this book the characters were interesting, and it was funny at times. The romance was pleasant and innocent. I would reccomend this book.
