I wanted to use my 4th gen iPod shuffle in my car, but changing songs or even adjusting the volume was not possible without putting the headphones in, adjusting it, then switching to the line out. I bought this product for road trips that would make it nice to use the songs on the shuffle. Overall I like the physical design. I know the top adds lots of size, but they had to have space for the headphone jack to go into the shuffle, and space for a headphone to plug your headphones into. At least they managed to keep the clip usable. However, the big downside is you can't touch the on/off button without removing the shuffle from the device. Seems like an unnecessary step. Maybe they could have added a mechanical slider to the side of the top area to could slide the on/off button? Anyway, there isn't a way to do it on this product as it is. Sounds quality does not seem to be diminished. I will probably keep the device, but that little problem of not being able get to the on/off switch while attached is kind of a downer. If you can get over that, then it is a keeper. Update: The last few times I have tried to use the device has resulted in failure. It is almost 3 months old, and the button presses are not detected by the Shuffle. If Scosche will not take this product back or exchange it, I am going to use my dremel and cut a slit where the on/off button would be so that I can use my finger nail or key and turn the ipod on and off without plugging/unplugging the device. A second generation of this product may be better, but by then Apple would have changed the Shuffle and new products will not be made for it... so this product will probably final, poor build quality and all.	negative	[ "I wanted to use my 4th gen iPod shuffle in my car, but changing songs or even adjusting the volume was not possible without putting the headphones in, adjusting it, then switching to the line out.", "I bought this product for road trips that would make it nice to use the songs on the shuffle.", "Overall I like the physical design.", "I know the top adds lots of size, but they had to have space for the headphone jack to go into the shuffle, and space for a headphone to plug your headphones into.", "At least they managed to keep the clip usable.", "However, the big downside is you can't touch the on/off button without removing the shuffle from the device.", "Seems like an unnecessary step.", "Maybe they could have added a mechanical slider to the side of the top area to could slide the on/off button?", "Anyway, there isn't a way to do it on this product as it is.", "Sounds quality does not seem to be diminished.", "I will probably keep the device, but that little problem of not being able get to the on/off switch while attached is kind of a downer.", "If you can get over that, then it is a keeper.", "Update: The last few times I have tried to use the device has resulted in failure.", "It is almost 3 months old, and the button presses are not detected by the Shuffle.", "If Scosche will not take this product back or exchange it, I am going to use my dremel and cut a slit where the on/off button would be so that I can use my finger nail or key and turn the ipod on and off without plugging/unplugging the device.", "A second generation of this product may be better, but by then Apple would have changed the Shuffle and new products will not be made for it...", "so this product will probably final, poor build quality and all." ]
I only purchased it because I was in downtown Phoenix for a conference and couldn't find a real book store within walking distance. I was stuck with the hotel's W.H. Smith and the NY Times bestseller list (blech.) This book is a fast, pleasant read. The early portions were quite promising, evoking a feeling of creeping doom. I also liked the sprinkles of social commentary, particularly the discrimination fathers face in custody proceeedings. However, the plot quickly became utterly -- and I mean utterly -- predictable. The only suspense left for me was seeing just how long it would take the main character to figure out what I had figured out, and details of the resolution. The last portions degenerate to a long "beat the unstoppable monster" sequence. Might make a good movie on the Sci-Fi channel. Save your money. Or, use it to buy Charles Pellegrino's "Dust".	negative	[ "I only purchased it because I was in downtown Phoenix for a conference and couldn't find a real book store within walking distance.", "I was stuck with the hotel's W.", "H.

Pros Thick Rubber Easy to Clean Holds well Cons They didn't fit in more than 5 places Rubber mats do not look or feel good on carpeted flooring Bad customer service Bad return policy I needed both mats for a 2003 Nissan 350Z. The website has all sorts of claims about how well their mats fit. This is not true in my case. They were not a perfect laser-measured fit. They were not even a good fit. They gapped in more than 5 places. I had no intentions to return the mats, and I wanted Weathertech to succeed, so I contacted them by email just to let them know the mats do not fit the 350Z well. When I contacted Weathertech by email, Mr Heisler told me in several emails that I was reviewing the website incorrectly, and if they weren't a perfect fit, they were most certainly a very good fit. I responded that the website should really make it clearer. He then sent me screenshots of the website with areas circled where I was quite obviously wrong. After his 3rd demeaning email on how wrong I was, I showed the mats and emails to several friends who told me flat out to return the mats. They did take the mats back, however I had to eat the shipping, and I didn't see the partial refund for weeks. For the same amount of money, I bought mats from Nissan. They were of better quality, and they fit perfectly. Summary: Had Weathertech treated me better through email, or even returned my shipping (as this was clearly not my fault they sent me mats that didn't fit), I would not have returned the mats, even though they didn't fit. In addition, Ive talked to others interested in mats, and my experience has cost Weathertech more sales.	negative	[ "Pros\n Thick Rubber\n Easy to Clean\n Holds well\n\nCons\n They didn't fit in more than 5 places\n Rubber mats do not look or feel good on carpeted flooring\n Bad customer service\n Bad return policy\n\nI needed both mats for a 2003 Nissan 350Z.", "The website has all sorts of claims about how well their mats fit.", "This is not true in my case.", "They were not a perfect laser-measured fit.", "They were not even a good fit.", "They gapped in more than 5 places.", "I had no intentions to return the mats, and I wanted Weathertech to succeed, so I contacted them by email just to let them know the mats do not fit the 350Z well.", "When I contacted Weathertech by email, Mr Heisler told me in several emails that I was reviewing the website incorrectly, and if they weren't a perfect fit, they were most certainly a very good fit.", "I responded that the website should really make it clearer.", "He then sent me screenshots of the website with areas circled where I was quite obviously wrong.", "After his 3rd demeaning email on how wrong I was, I showed the mats and emails to several friends who told me flat out to return the mats.", "They did take the mats back, however I had to eat the shipping, and I didn't see the partial refund for weeks.", "For the same amount of money, I bought mats from Nissan.", "They were of better quality, and they fit perfectly.", "Summary: Had Weathertech treated me better through email, or even returned my shipping (as this was clearly not my fault they sent me mats that didn't fit), I would not have returned the mats, even though they didn't fit.", "In addition, Ive talked to others interested in mats, and my experience has cost Weathertech more sales." ]
Tested it out for about a month - overall found that it was pretty ineffective despite the positive reviews. I had all 4 plugged in different rooms of a 900 sq ft apartment. One in the bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one in the bathroom. It seemed to work for the first few days, which is why I'll give it 2 stars. However after about a week/week and a half we saw roaches/ants/other bugs again. At one point, I saw a roach crawling on the wall directly across from where it was plugged in in our bedroom (less than 6 ft away). We also saw ants/roaches in the kitchen despite having it plugged in all the time. We tried moving them around, putting more than 1 in a room, etc but no luck. We're having an exterminator come again today and I'll be looking for a better solution. overall, seems like more of a gimmick than anything	negative	[ "Tested it out for about a month - overall found that it was pretty ineffective despite the positive reviews.", "I had all 4 plugged in different rooms of a 900 sq ft apartment.", "One in the bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one in the bathroom.", "It seemed to work for the first few days, which is why I'll give it 2 stars.", "However after about a week/week and a half we saw roaches/ants/other bugs again.", "At one point, I saw a roach crawling on the wall directly across from where it was plugged in in our bedroom (less than 6 ft away).", "We also saw ants/roaches in the kitchen despite having it plugged in all the time.", "We tried moving them around, putting more than 1 in a room, etc but no luck.", "We're having an exterminator come again today and I'll be looking for a better solution.", "overall, seems like more of a gimmick than anything" ]
I'm very upset after receiving my "Crocodile Dentist" game. Once I got it out of the Amazon box, I realized right away that this was not the game made by Hasbro sold in the US. It's very obvious just from looking at the game box, which is cheap, says "CrocoDileDentist" on it, and is full of oddly-phrased sentences with typos, punctuation errors, and grammer mistakes. The toy does work, but it is VERY cheaply made. If I wanted this toy, I could have gone to alibaba.com and ordered one from China myself for 1.75. Instead I paid 11 dollars for the REAL toy, and got this one. As another reviewer said, it does have a "used" look about it right out of the package. Especially on the bottom of the toy. I am very disapointed. I've never had an experience like this on Amazon, and I've bought hundreds of items. This seller gives this sitea bad name.	negative	[ "I'm very upset after receiving my \"Crocodile Dentist\" game.", "Once I got it out of the Amazon box, I realized right away that this was not the game made by Hasbro sold in the US.", "It's very obvious just from looking at the game box, which is cheap, says \"CrocoDileDentist\" on it, and is full of oddly-phrased sentences with typos, punctuation errors, and grammer mistakes.", "The toy does work, but it is VERY cheaply made.", "If I wanted this toy, I could have gone to alibaba.", "com and ordered one from China myself for 1.", "75.", "Instead I paid 11 dollars for the REAL toy, and got this one.", "As another reviewer said, it does have a \"used\" look about it right out of the package.", "Especially on the bottom of the toy.", "I am very disapointed.", "I've never had an experience like this on Amazon, and I've bought hundreds of items.", "This seller gives this sitea bad name." ]
This book was free when I came across it while searching for something to read. I looked up the authors name and seen that this book is the first of a 4 book series. It took me a minute to read but I got through it. There were a few things that made me cringe: 1. What took place after stopping for ice cream. 2. What Tamara did when she first arrived in ATL after leaving the bar. 3. Tamara imitating the homeless man ( like, how dumb can you be?). ....there's more but I'd spoil the story if I list it all. After a while I started skimming through just to rush this dried up, boring-read-it-before-story. And just knowing that there are THREE more books to this story is making me tired. I really don't see where all the hype and 5star ratings are coming from after reading the book. Maybe his friends and family and a fan or two? Don't know. What I do know is that I will NOT be buying the other books. I will, however, try one of his other books.	negative	[ "This book was free when I came across it while searching for something to read.", "I looked up the authors name and seen that this book is the first of a 4 book series.", "It took me a minute to read but I got through it.", "There were a few things that made me cringe: 1.", "What took place after stopping for ice cream.", "2.", "What Tamara did when she first arrived in ATL after leaving the bar.", "3.", "Tamara imitating the homeless man ( like, how dumb can you be?", ").", "....", "there's more but I'd spoil the story if I list it all.", "After a while I started skimming through just to rush this dried up, boring-read-it-before-story.", "And just knowing that there are THREE more books to this story is making me tired.", "I really don't see where all the hype and 5star ratings are coming from after reading the book.", "Maybe his friends and family and a fan or two?", "Don't know.", "What I do know is that I will NOT be buying the other books.", "I will, however, try one of his other books." ]
Based on a real-world example explained here, I recommend seeking a stronger and more expensive drill bit unless you are drilling a very soft and thin item. I bought this drill bit to drill 1 3/8" holes (the max diameter of the bit) through two items made of steel, which also were bought from Amazon. It worked on one of them made of 29 gauge steel, and did not work on the other which is a little-bit thicker, and it is stainless steel. Here are the links to the two items: 1. A 29 gauge steel lid for a bucket (It drilled through without problems): http://www.amazon.com/Vestil-LID-STL-LL-Steel-Lever-gallon/dp/B0052P1QBU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1402917254&sr=8-6&keywords=vestil+bucket 2. A stainless steel cup (It did not drill through the bottom of the cup): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NG9DUK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Actually, I have persisted drilling, but for people with other options who are not trying to "Escape from Alcatraz," it would not be worth the time and energy. The following is my progress. The ad for the drill bit states: "Self-starting, no walking and center punch is not required." When I started to try to drill through the center of the bottom of the cup, there was no "self-starting," there was a lot of walking (I presume this means instead of forming a hole where the tip of the drill is applied to the metal, the tip of the drill slips all over the surface without forming a hole). So I got out the center punch, and finally, after about an hour, I was able to focus the tip of the drill bit in a little tiny pin-prick hole in the steel. After about 1/2 hour more of drilling, the hole was visible to the naked eye in a good light. This was about a week ago. I then thought that, just as a trickle of water eventually can carve the Grand Canyon, so too would this drill bit eventually drill a 1 3/8" hole in the bottom of this cup. Therefore, every day I drill for about 90 minutes while I watch a movie. I am drilling by hand without a drill press, but I have attached ankle weights to my drill for a less-taxing downward force on the drill bit and steel. So in a week, my hole has increased to 1/4", and I hope that today I will break through to 3/8." Since the diameters of the holes are in layers on the drill bit, I am hoping that although one diameter may wear out the sharpness of the drill bit, I have proven, with the first 1/4" layer, that after a lot of work it can "break through," then I will start on the next diameter where the drill bit sharpness is brand-new. (Pretty sad that I have this sort of time, but that's another story.)	negative	[ "Based on a real-world example explained here, I recommend seeking a stronger and more expensive drill bit unless you are drilling a very soft and thin item.", "I bought this drill bit to drill 1 3/8\" holes (the max diameter of the bit) through two items made of steel, which also were bought from Amazon.", "It worked on one of them made of 29 gauge steel, and did not work on the other which is a little-bit thicker, and it is stainless steel.", "Here are the links to the two items:\n\n1.", "A 29 gauge steel lid for a bucket (It drilled through without problems):\nhttp://www.", "amazon.", "com/Vestil-LID-STL-LL-Steel-Lever-gallon/dp/B0052P1QBU/ref=sr_1_6?", "ie=UTF8&qid=1402917254&sr=8-6&keywords=vestil+bucket\n\n2.", "A stainless steel cup (It did not drill through the bottom of the cup):\nhttp://www.", "amazon.", "com/gp/product/B004NG9DUK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?", "ie=UTF8&psc=1\n\nActually, I have persisted drilling, but for people with other options who are not trying to \"Escape from Alcatraz,\" it would not be worth the time and energy.", "The following is my progress.", "The ad for the drill bit states: \"Self-starting, no walking and center punch is not required.", "\" When I started to try to drill through the center of the bottom of the cup, there was no \"self-starting,\" there was a lot of walking (I presume this means instead of forming a hole where the tip of the drill is applied to the metal, the tip of the drill slips all over the surface without forming a hole).", "So I got out the center punch, and finally, after about an hour, I was able to focus the tip of the drill bit in a little tiny pin-prick hole in the steel.", "After about 1/2 hour more of drilling, the hole was visible to the naked eye in a good light.", "This was about a week ago.", "I then thought that, just as a trickle of water eventually can carve the Grand Canyon, so too would this drill bit eventually drill a 1 3/8\" hole in the bottom of this cup.", "Therefore, every day I drill for about 90 minutes while I watch a movie.", "I am drilling by hand without a drill press, but I have attached ankle weights to my drill for a less-taxing downward force on the drill bit and steel.", "So in a week, my hole has increased to 1/4\", and I hope that today I will break through to 3/8.", "\" Since the diameters of the holes are in layers on the drill bit, I am hoping that although one diameter may wear out the sharpness of the drill bit, I have proven, with the first 1/4\" layer, that after a lot of work it can \"break through,\" then I will start on the next diameter where the drill bit sharpness is brand-new.", "(Pretty sad that I have this sort of time, but that's another story.", ")" ]
This game has a serious stuttering issue and Valve has still not resolved it. You can read all about the bug. There is also an ungodly long thread on Valve's website called Audio Stuttering You can read all about the problem. It plagues machines that are fast and slow. There is no ryhme or reason that it happens. It happens to me and makes the game completely unplayable. The game would be near perfect if it was not for this huge technical glitch. It also appears that Valve knew about this problem. I think this is a travesty. I have spent 50 bucks only to not be able to play the game in a satisfactory manner.	negative	[ "This game has a serious stuttering issue and Valve has still not resolved it.", "You can read all about the bug.", "There is also an ungodly long thread on Valve's website called Audio Stuttering\n\nYou can read all about the problem.", "It plagues machines that are fast and slow.", "There is no ryhme or reason that it happens.", "It happens to me and makes the game completely unplayable.", "The game would be near perfect if it was not for this huge technical glitch.", "It also appears that Valve knew about this problem.", "I think this is a travesty.", "I have spent 50 bucks only to not be able to play the game in a satisfactory manner." ]
We just adopted a new kitty from a shelter and she is very well insulated you might say and needs to lose a couple of pounds. I want to limit her food and have had problems in the past with cats on canned food. Yes, even the top brands. I wanted to try a good dry food with low carbs like Evo or Wellness Core as well as Natures Variety Instinct. I thought it would be nice to have her morning feed taken care of to avoid the hairy face greeting cats love to give when they want breakfast. I bought the 5 meal feeder because it looked far more sturdy than the 2 meal and the reviews for the 5 meal seemed better too. So, it came and we set it up for 2 feedings 12 hours apart which was super simple to do. Worked like a charm and opened right at the exact 5:30 PM we had set it for BUT my Fiona did not like putting her face in the tunnel like compartment to eat. I found her taking out pieces and putting them on the floor to eat them. Seemed like such a good idea but that compartment dish is a loser for us. Looks like I get the hairy face greeting in the mornings which is actually OK with me and makes me smile even before I open my eyes. Guess I'll just leave well enough alone..	negative	[ "We just adopted a new kitty from a shelter and she is very well insulated you might say and needs to lose a couple of pounds.", "I want to limit her food and have had problems in the past with cats on canned food.", "Yes, even the top brands.", "I wanted to try a good dry food with low carbs like Evo or Wellness Core as well as Natures Variety Instinct.", "I thought it would be nice to have her morning feed taken care of to avoid the hairy face greeting cats love to give when they want breakfast.", "I bought the 5 meal feeder because it looked far more sturdy than the 2 meal and the reviews for the 5 meal seemed better too.", "So, it came and we set it up for 2 feedings 12 hours apart which was super simple to do.", "Worked like a charm and opened right at the exact 5:30 PM we had set it for BUT my Fiona did not like putting her face in the tunnel like compartment to eat.", "I found her taking out pieces and putting them on the floor to eat them.", "Seemed like such a good idea but that compartment dish is a loser for us.", "Looks like I get the hairy face greeting in the mornings which is actually OK with me and makes me smile even before I open my eyes.", "Guess I'll just leave well\nenough alone.." ]
I am absolutely disappointed with every aspect of this player. I am an engineer myself, and I agree with other reviewers that Memorex skip the testing phase of the design process. This unit is FULL of engineering flaws... What MP3 player can't support >128kps, or VBR??? I am more curious to know how Memorex designed the button-layout of this unit, did some just randomly picked out the position where each button goes? They are not friendly at all. This unit skips more often than a $15 cheap CD player, not because someone bumped it, but because of hardware/software bugs. And what a battery eater, a fresh set of Duracell Ultras, runs only about 3.5 - 4 hrs... My Panasonic CD player last 6 to 7 times longer on a same set of battery. This unit looks cheap, cost cheap, and performs cheap as well... I guess you do get what you pay for.

I got one of these phones about a year ago. It is a little big, a few too many options, but I thought it would be OK. The first thing I noticed is it doesn't light up when a line is in use. I let that go. It took awhile before I noticed it would drop any calls put on Hold. Then the Intercom light comes on and beeps for no reason. Now all the EXT lights on the right side keep flashing. I gave it two stars because it still works (after a WHOLE year - sarcasm), but lined phones are not new technology. They shouldn't have this many unexplainable problems.

It looks beautiful in the tank, and the fish have really grown to love it. Especially the fries in the tank, as it's a great hiding place for them. My issue with it, is that there has been some discoloration. I assumed at first that it was just regular tank build up, and cleaned it off. Three days later though, the brown spots were back. The tank is regularly maintained and nothing else in the tank is having the same issue. The other problem I'm experiencing, is that there has been some paint peeling on the inside. I was concerned with the fish ingesting paint flecks, so I removed the police box from the tank. I was really disappointed, as up until this point, we and the fish were both enjoying this particular decoration. :(	negative	[ "It looks beautiful in the tank, and the fish have really grown to love it.", "Especially the fries in the tank, as it's a great hiding place for them.", "My issue with it, is that there has been some discoloration.", "I assumed at first that it was just regular tank build up, and cleaned it off.", "Three days later though, the brown spots were back.", "The tank is regularly maintained and nothing else in the tank is having the same issue.", "The other problem I'm experiencing, is that there has been some paint peeling on the inside.", "I was concerned with the fish ingesting paint flecks, so I removed the police box from the tank.", "I was really disappointed, as up until this point, we and the fish were both enjoying this particular decoration.", ":(" ]
Wanted to get the most "bang for the buck", took a chance on this phone, and am not disappointed. Takes a bit of getting used to the touch screen (My 1st touch screen phone), not a big fan of the camera shutter function (though it does take decent quality photos IF you can hold it still while pressing the button), I like the note pad and some of the other functions, looked to see what apps are available and different ring tones (probably NOT going to use apps or go on-line with this phone) and didn't see much in the way of selection. This is not a 'smart phone', but has some of the functionalities of one for 1/10th the cost. Would definately suggest the 4GB MicroSD card and a good screen protector/protective case because phone is small and a little difficult to hold in larger hands. Over all, for the money and given the triple minutes, it would be hard to beat this phones value for it's functionality. Well here I am one year later and everything (most) I said above is "out the window".... it died (the phone/screen), I lost irreplaceable photos and messages (dead touch screen)... it IS a P.O.S. phone... look elsewhere....2 stars at best!	negative	[ "Wanted to get the most \"bang for the buck\", took a chance on this phone, and am not disappointed.", "Takes a bit of getting used to the touch screen (My 1st touch screen phone), not a big fan of the camera shutter function (though it does take decent quality photos IF you can hold it still while pressing the button), I like the note pad and some of the other functions, looked to see what apps are available and different ring tones (probably NOT going to use apps or go on-line with this phone) and didn't see much in the way of selection.", "This is not a 'smart phone', but has some of the functionalities of one for 1/10th the cost.", "Would definately suggest the 4GB MicroSD card and a good screen protector/protective case because phone is small and a little difficult to hold in larger hands.", "Over all, for the money and given the triple minutes, it would be hard to beat this phones value for it's functionality.", "Well here I am one year later and everything (most) I said above is \"out the window\"....", "it died (the phone/screen), I lost irreplaceable photos and messages (dead touch screen)...", "it IS a P.", "O.S. phone...", "look elsewhere....", "2 stars at best!" ]
I bought this to use on a recent camping trip and it would not work. It was my fault for not testing the item before I went on the trail, my bad. I had 5 other people with me on this trip, all with more camping experience, and no one could make it work. When I came home I placed another set of mantles on and tried again, still nothing. The worst part is now I'm being told by Amazon that I cannot return this item. This information would have been nice to know prior to my purchase seeing that I now have a $80.00 paperweight. I'm very disappointed in this transaction. As I search through Amazon's pages I cannot even find a customer service e-mail address to ask about this. My bottom line is I have to leave a negative review here so hopefully others will learn from my mistake.	negative	[ "I bought this to use on a recent camping trip and it would not work.", "It was my fault for not testing the item before I went on the trail, my bad.", "I had 5 other people with me on this trip, all with more camping experience, and no one could make it work.", "When I came home I placed another set of mantles on and tried again, still nothing.", "The worst part is now I'm being told by Amazon that I cannot return this item.", "This information would have been nice to know prior to my purchase seeing that I now have a $80.", "00 paperweight.", "I'm very disappointed in this transaction.", "As I search through Amazon's pages I cannot even find a customer service e-mail address to ask about this.", "My bottom line is I have to leave a negative review here so hopefully others will learn from my mistake." ]
There is no question about the moviemaking expertise that went into this slick black and white samurai movie with high production values. There is nothing more positive that can be said about this movie. The main character ("protagonist" or even "anti-hero" are way too warm and friendly word choices), Ryunosuke, is an evil and soulless swordsman who kills without emotion, and evidently, not even because he enjoys it - he is just a killing machine who would fit right into an extermination camp or a modern decapitation video for a jihadi group, Ryunosuke makes Hannibal Lechter or Vlad Drac look downright nice in comparison. Yes, Ryunosuke is Evil, but a completely soulless evil, with no point or purpose to even his fictional evil existence except to show off the movie-maker's cinematic skills. I have found merit in all kinds of movies that some might think "far out", but I can find nothing redeeming about this arty wannabe snuff film.

Man, FF13 Suuxxxxxxxxx I hadn't played it ever but my friend rented it and played it for like 10 hours and he said it was stupid cuz all the best things I love about FF were gone. Here are some of the complaints I've heard from friend and internet people who have played the first couple of chapters of the game: To linear! I miss the happiness of being in a dungeon and having two places to walk: one I was supposed to go to and another that I wasn't supposed to go to yet! Think of how many amazing random encounters I missed that I couldn't avoid while I was trying to backtrack just to get where I needed to be. Also I missed the fun of older FF games where I was sent to a world map and I didn't know which town was the one town I should go to next. I hate not being tricked into thinking I have options! No world map! I love the world map, early in the game it lets me spend time trying to figure out next place to walk while facing random enemies that offered no valuable Exp! But most of all later in the game when the world map is actually used to do side quests, exploration, leveling up, and finding sweet treasure! I mean its not like FF13 is going to let the player have access to one of the most awesome and epic worlds with a million giant dinosaurs and tons of quests, items, and amazing stuff like that 20-30 whole hours in! I mean 20-30 hours is probably when the game should be over TWICE! Towns! My favorite part about FF games is going into a town and listening to people say stuff and looking for the shops then healing at the inn. Sometimes I would spend up to 30 minutes running errands that now take only a minute! Now all the shops can be accessed from the save point and I don't get to hear stuff like... ok, so I don't actually remember anything useful anyone has ever said in a town, but that's ok because I can still complain! Battles! Wow, I can only control one guy! What kind of combat is this, some kind of strategy type of junk?! I want to be able to pick fight for my fighter, then pick magic from my magic guy and then pick cure from my healer every time even if they don't need healing cuz she's a healer and thats what she does. It looks so unnatural to see everybody moving at the same time. I like waiting while they stand there before they take turns to attack! That's why I hated Advent Children, it was way too fast paced and the fighting was too epic for my sensibilities. Minigames! What? You mean I don't get to raise Chocobos for 20 hours to unlock one rare item? There's no minigames at all in the first 10 hours which means the entire game is one big on-rails series of battles! Story! The story is terrible based on the 10 hours I heard that someone played!	negative	[ "Man, FF13 Suuxxxxxxxxx\n\nI hadn't played it ever but my friend rented it and played it for like 10 hours and he said it was stupid cuz all the best things I love about FF were gone.", "Here are some of the complaints I've heard from friend and internet people who have played the first couple of chapters of the game:\n\nTo linear!", "I miss the happiness of being in a dungeon and having two places to walk: one I was supposed to go to and another that I wasn't supposed to go to yet!", "Think of how many amazing random encounters I missed that I couldn't avoid while I was trying to backtrack just to get where I needed to be.", "Also I missed the fun of older FF games where I was sent to a world map and I didn't know which town was the one town I should go to next.", "I hate not being tricked into thinking I have options!", "No world map!", "I love the world map, early in the game it lets me spend time trying to figure out next place to walk while facing random enemies that offered no valuable Exp!", "But most of all later in the game when the world map is actually used to do side quests, exploration, leveling up, and finding sweet treasure!", "I mean its not like FF13 is going to let the player have access to one of the most awesome and epic worlds with a million giant dinosaurs and tons of quests, items, and amazing stuff like that 20-30 whole hours in!", "I mean 20-30 hours is probably when the game should be over TWICE!", "Towns!", "My favorite part about FF games is going into a town and listening to people say stuff and looking for the shops then healing at the inn.", "Sometimes I would spend up to 30 minutes running errands that now take only a minute!", "Now all the shops can be accessed from the save point and I don't get to hear stuff like...", "ok, so I don't actually remember anything useful anyone has ever said in a town, but that's ok because I can still complain!", "Battles!", "Wow, I can only control one guy!", "What kind of combat is this, some kind of strategy type of junk?!", "I want to be able to pick fight for my fighter, then pick magic from my magic guy and then pick cure from my healer every time even if they don't need healing cuz she's a healer and thats what she does.", "It looks so unnatural to see everybody moving at the same time.", "I like waiting while they stand there before they take turns to attack!", "That's why I hated Advent Children, it was way too fast paced and the fighting was too epic for my sensibilities.", "Minigames!", "What?", "You mean I don't get to raise Chocobos for 20 hours to unlock one rare item?", "There's no minigames at all in the first 10 hours which means the entire game is one big on-rails series of battles!", "Story!", "The story is terrible based on the 10 hours I heard that someone played!" ]
whatever message Microsoft is trying to convey into something that I might better be able to understand, like Yiddish or that Bushman clicking language? As it stands, I have no idea whether Microsoft is seriously claiming that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions or if it's simply the case that it could really use a heart, just like the tin man in The Wizard of Oz. As this review will make clear, its precepts have caused widespread social alienation, and from this alienation a thousand social pathologies have sprung. Life isn't fair. We've all known this since the beginning of time, so why is Microsoft so compelled to complain about situations over which it has no control? Apparently, even know-it-all Microsoft doesn't know the answer to that one. It wouldn't matter if it did, given that its cause is not glorious. It is not wonderful. It is not good. A small child really couldn't understand that Microsoft's encomiasts want so much to ascribe opinions to me that I don't even hold that the concept of right vs. wrong never comes up. But any adult can easily grasp that Microsoft bickers and argues over petty things. It's that simple. Unfortunately, Microsoft's scabrous invectives neglect to take one important factor into consideration: human nature. If Microsoft were to require religious services around the world to begin with "Microsoft is great; Microsoft is good; we thank Microsoft for our daily food", it would be a grave insult to everyone who devoted his or her life's work to helping the less fortunate. Why? That's easy. Microsoft argues that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have. To maintain this thesis, Microsoft naturally has had to shovel away a mountain of evidence, which it does by the desperate expedient of claiming that McCarthyism is the only alternative to neocolonialism. The poisonous wine of Comstockism had been distilled long before Microsoft entered the scene. Microsoft is merely the agent decanting the poisonous fluid from its bottle into the jug that is world humanity. Microsoft's shills remain a small isolated minority, except during times of economic or social stress, when a mass following develops to blame rude beggars for the problems besetting society. How does Microsoft deal with this fascinating piece of information? It utterly ignores it. In the course of my work, I regularly come in contact with intrusive extortionists, and most of them also feel that everyone ought to read my award-winning essay, "The Naked Aggression of Microsoft". In it, I chronicle all of Microsoft's obiter dicta, from the ignominious to the drugged-out, and conclude that I normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind Microsoft that even if one is opposed to stentorian favoritism (and I am), then surely, I wouldn't want to gag free speech. I would, on the other hand, love to give our young people the values that will inspire them to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter. There's a lot of talk nowadays about Microsoft's ridiculous offhand remarks but not much action. I have seen what Microsoft is capable of, and I am afraid. I am very afraid and I am very angry. What we are dealing with here is fashion, politics, and money. And that's all I have to say.	negative	[ "whatever message Microsoft is trying to convey into something that I might better be able to understand, like Yiddish or that Bushman clicking language?", "As it stands, I have no idea whether Microsoft is seriously claiming that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions or if it's simply the case that it could really use a heart, just like the tin man in The Wizard of Oz.", "As this review will make clear, its precepts have caused widespread social alienation, and from this alienation a thousand social pathologies have sprung.", "Life isn't fair.", "We've all known this since the beginning of time, so why is Microsoft so compelled to complain about situations over which it has no control?", "Apparently, even know-it-all Microsoft doesn't know the answer to that one.", "It wouldn't matter if it did, given that its cause is not glorious.", "It is not wonderful.", "It is not good.", "A small child really couldn't understand that Microsoft's encomiasts want so much to ascribe opinions to me that I don't even hold that the concept of right vs.", "wrong never comes up.", "But any adult can easily grasp that Microsoft bickers and argues over petty things.", "It's that simple.", "Unfortunately, Microsoft's scabrous invectives neglect to take one important factor into consideration: human nature.", "If Microsoft were to require religious services around the world to begin with \"Microsoft is great; Microsoft is good; we thank Microsoft for our daily food\", it would be a grave insult to everyone who devoted his or her life's work to helping the less fortunate.", "Why?", "That's easy.", "Microsoft argues that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have.", "To maintain this thesis, Microsoft naturally has had to shovel away a mountain of evidence, which it does by the desperate expedient of claiming that McCarthyism is the only alternative to neocolonialism.", "The poisonous wine of Comstockism had been distilled long before Microsoft entered the scene.", "Microsoft is merely the agent decanting the poisonous fluid from its bottle into the jug that is world humanity.", "Microsoft's shills remain a small isolated minority, except during times of economic or social stress, when a mass following develops to blame rude beggars for the problems besetting society.", "How does Microsoft deal with this fascinating piece of information?", "It utterly ignores it.", "In the course of my work, I regularly come in contact with intrusive extortionists, and most of them also feel that everyone ought to read my award-winning essay, \"The Naked Aggression of Microsoft\".", "In it, I chronicle all of Microsoft's obiter dicta, from the ignominious to the drugged-out, and conclude that I normally prefer to listen than to speak.", "I would, however, like to remind Microsoft that even if one is opposed to stentorian favoritism (and I am), then surely, I wouldn't want to gag free speech.", "I would, on the other hand, love to give our young people the values that will inspire them to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.", "But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter.", "There's a lot of talk nowadays about Microsoft's ridiculous offhand remarks but not much action.", "I have seen what Microsoft is capable of, and I am afraid.", "I am very afraid and I am very angry.", "What we are dealing with here is fashion, politics, and money.", "And that's all I have to say." ]
I bought this cause it was cheap and figured it did a better job than paper towels. After soldering a very tiny piece to a laptop, it didn't work at all. Maybe the place to suck the solder was too small for it. Maybe there wasn't enough solder for it to suck up. I don't know. All I do know is that to try and use it was a pain. You have to hold the soldering iron in one hand, the part in your other, and that leaves two fingers to use this product. Not to mention that when it "sucks" it's got some nasty kickback, like firing a gun. I would not purchase this unit. Spend the extra money and get one that works, isn't a trigger based unit, and can be held with something other than your hand. As I said, maybe the conditions were wrong or I don't know what I'm doing, but this caused more problems than it helped...It just didn't work.	negative	[ "I bought this cause it was cheap and figured it did a better job than paper towels.", "After soldering a very tiny piece to a laptop, it didn't work at all.", "Maybe the place to suck the solder was too small for it.", "Maybe there wasn't enough solder for it to suck up.", "I don't know.", "All I do know is that to try and use it was a pain.", "You have to hold the soldering iron in one hand, the part in your other, and that leaves two fingers to use this product.", "Not to mention that when it \"sucks\" it's got some nasty kickback, like firing a gun.", "I would not purchase this unit.", "Spend the extra money and get one that works, isn't a trigger based unit, and can be held with something other than your hand.", "As I said, maybe the conditions were wrong or I don't know what I'm doing, but this caused more problems than it helped...", "It just didn't work." ]
I used to think Korn was the destroyer of metal, boy was I wrong...after hearing this I knew it was Bon Jovi. I really think that this is the worst music of the 80's, even worse than Modanna or Paula Abdul. Even hairmetal fans don't like this! Hairmetal fans listen to Twisted Sister and Skid Row, and avoid pop like this, White Snake, Poison, Warrant, and Europe. This bad joke here made it so other pansies like Cinderella had a chance to make it, when all they were were talentless hacks who ripped off Van Halens 1984. I couldn't imagine anyone listening to this without having their ears bleed, this makes disco look like Led Zeppelin! Well, at least its better than Good Charlotte and Linkin Park (although not by much). Anyone who hates Jon Bon Blowme and Bad Joke is commendable, because they (Socialist Metal Head, Cotton Hell for example) are smart enough to realize how p**sified this is. I feel bad for anyone who doesn't see through Bad Jokes haze.

Okay people it's time for me to really point out reasons to NOT buy a PS2 now that I actually got several hours of gaming with this system (And five different games) to come up with my answer! To start out I visited my friends house one day and saw his new Playstation 2 he had gotten. When I asked if we could play it, he didn't really want to (This from a guy who has three and a half shelf's with nothing but Playstation games!!! That's practically every game Sony made!!!), but finally agreed. I can now see why. Not only were the games NOTHING Sony promised us (They said the games were going to be a revolution. I fail to see how.). For one thing the graphics are nothing that the Dreamcast hasn't offered us. For onther things were still getting the sames games over, and over! Just with better graphics! No internet play (SEGA already has an advantage with that in mind!), and didn't Sony promise us it would be compatable with Playstation games? I thought so too. But only 3 of the 27 games we tried to do this with worked! And it didn't enhance the graphics!!! The DVD player is nothing but trash also. It won't play many movies, and those it does play don't have very good quality! Plus DVD players are on cell phones practically, why would we want them on a game counsel (Especally if you've already got a DVD player)!?! Plus almost all games (Playstation or Playstation 2 games) freeze up countless times! In Tekken because I was fighting too fast the system froze up on me, but yet in Sonic Adventure (On Dreamcast) I'm running on walls, jumping off buldings, and zooming around the place at 70 miles per hour and the game doesn't glich once!!! Now thats sad (For Sony anyway). And when it comes down to the worst games I've played yet, don't expect this system to last long. With that in mind please be careful when buying this system, it might be worse thanyou thought it would be.	negative	[ "Okay people it's time for me to really point out reasons to NOT buy a PS2 now that I actually got several hours of gaming with this system (And five different games) to come up with my answer!", "To start out I visited my friends house one day and saw his new Playstation 2 he had gotten.", "When I asked if we could play it, he didn't really want to (This from a guy who has three and a half shelf's with nothing but Playstation games!!!", "That's practically every game Sony made!!!", "), but finally agreed.", "I can now see why.", "Not only were the games NOTHING Sony promised us (They said the games were going to be a revolution.", "I fail to see how.", ").", "For one thing the graphics are nothing that the Dreamcast hasn't offered us.", "For onther things were still getting the sames games over, and over!", "Just with better graphics!", "No internet play (SEGA already has an advantage with that in mind!", "), and didn't Sony promise us it would be compatable with Playstation games?", "I thought so too.", "But only 3 of the 27 games we tried to do this with worked!", "And it didn't enhance the graphics!!!", "The DVD player is nothing but trash also.", "It won't play many movies, and those it does play don't have very good quality!", "Plus DVD players are on cell phones practically, why would we want them on a game counsel (Especally if you've already got a DVD player)!?", "!", "Plus almost all games (Playstation or Playstation 2 games) freeze up countless times!", "In Tekken because I was fighting too fast the system froze up on me, but yet in Sonic Adventure (On Dreamcast) I'm running on walls, jumping off buldings, and zooming around the place at 70 miles per hour and the game doesn't glich once!!!", "Now thats sad (For Sony anyway).", "And when it comes down to the worst games I've played yet, don't expect this system to last long.", "With that in mind please be careful when buying this system, it might be worse thanyou thought it would be." ]
LCD is hard to read without backlight. The buttons are too small and heavily recessed which makes it very difficult to press them, even though its designed to make it hard to accidently press, its a little too much. Whats with the minimum setting of 2 minutes between time lapses, thats just silly, if you are lookign to do timelapse at anything less than 2 minutes internals, this won't do it. The remote knows when the camera is busy so it could record as quickly as the camera saves. If the camera powers down, I can't get it to switch back on from the remote, only from the main camera controls. The battery insertion diagram is misleading, I installed the battery upside down first time. ( + facing down is correct ). The big R/F filter is no doubt since nikon got its hand smacked by the FCC last year for emission problems with other accessories ( the 950 AC adapter ). However its the only remote release available if the 2min minimum is fine for you and you don't mind reflashing the cameras firmware ( which you must in order to use properly if you have version 1.0 ) then you are all set, on reflection I'd still buy it since a remote release is a must for steady work.	negative	[ "LCD is hard to read without backlight.", "The buttons are too small and heavily recessed which makes it very difficult to press them, even though its designed to make it hard to accidently press, its a little too much.", "Whats with the minimum setting of 2 minutes between time lapses, thats just silly, if you are lookign to do timelapse at anything less than 2 minutes internals, this won't do it.", "The remote knows when the camera is busy so it could record as quickly as the camera saves.", "If the camera powers down, I can't get it to switch back on from the remote, only from the main camera controls.", "The battery insertion diagram is misleading, I installed the battery upside down first time.", "( + facing down is correct ).", "The big R/F filter is no doubt since nikon got its hand smacked by the FCC last year for emission problems with other accessories ( the 950 AC adapter ).", "However its the only remote release available if the 2min minimum is fine for you and you don't mind reflashing the cameras firmware ( which you must in order to use properly if you have version 1.", "0 ) then you are all set, on reflection I'd still buy it since a remote release is a must for steady work." ]
I hate to be a pariah here, but I absolutely despise this album. I didn't like it when it originally came out, and then every "classic" rock station in America played this stuff to death which made my opinion go down even further. I had no intention of writing a review of this thing, but my oldest daughter wanted a copy of this on CD, so I burned it from my vinyl copy and was kind of forced to listen to it. I can't like everything I listen to, so here is one of my very few bad reviews. This is essentially a Roger Waters solo project with supposedly (depending on who you ask) minimal participation from the rest of the band. Unfortunately, from Dark Side Of The Moon on, his influence dominated the Pink Floyd sound, and to my mind, not in a good way. If it weren't for classic rock radio, I might have felt good enough to give this two or three stars, but since I can recognize virtually any song on here with the two beginning notes, I know it too well. Besides the blandness of the music, I especially can't stand that twangy Fender guitar sound. The biggest example is that guitar solo on The Wall. I greatly admire Dave Gilmour as a guitarist. He absolutely blew me away with One Of These Days off the Meddle album. His work on Ummagumma is also top notch. However, this... to be polite, stuff, just makes me cringe. I wish Pink Floyd had stayed with their earlier style as it is much more to my liking. However, they had to change, expand, do something different, I guess. As for being a theme album, this doesn't hold a candle to Tommy. At least The Who still rocks! I'll probably have tons of hate mail over this, but to those few of you out there that know what I'm talking about, you are likely the same ones that love Umagumma, Meddle, and the Syd Barrett years. I don't even have to recommend or not recommend this as all you have to do is turn on your radio to a classic rock station, and you'll hear these songs over and over and over again. Save your money for something the radio doesn't play, because I'll guarantee that there is a whole world of wonderful music that will never make it to the air waves.	negative	[ "I hate to be a pariah here, but I absolutely despise this album.", "I didn't like it when it originally came out, and then every \"classic\" rock station in America played this stuff to death which made my opinion go down even further.", "I had no intention of writing a review of this thing, but my oldest daughter wanted a copy of this on CD, so I burned it from my vinyl copy and was kind of forced to listen to it.", "I can't like everything I listen to, so here is one of my very few bad reviews.", "This is essentially a Roger Waters solo project with supposedly (depending on who you ask) minimal participation from the rest of the band.", "Unfortunately, from Dark Side Of The Moon on, his influence dominated the Pink Floyd sound, and to my mind, not in a good way.", "If it weren't for classic rock radio, I might have felt good enough to give this two or three stars, but since I can recognize virtually any song on here with the two beginning notes, I know it too well.", "Besides the blandness of the music, I especially can't stand that twangy Fender guitar sound.", "The biggest example is that guitar solo on The Wall.", "I greatly admire Dave Gilmour as a guitarist.", "He absolutely blew me away with One Of These Days off the Meddle album.", "His work on Ummagumma is also top notch.", "However, this...", "to be polite, stuff, just makes me cringe.", "I wish Pink Floyd had stayed with their earlier style as it is much more to my liking.", "However, they had to change, expand, do something different, I guess.", "As for being a theme album, this doesn't hold a candle to Tommy.", "At least The Who still rocks!", "I'll probably have tons of hate mail over this, but to those few of you out there that know what I'm talking about, you are likely the same ones that love Umagumma, Meddle, and the Syd Barrett years.", "I don't even have to recommend or not recommend this as all you have to do is turn on your radio to a classic rock station, and you'll hear these songs over and over and over again.", "Save your money for something the radio doesn't play, because I'll guarantee that there is a whole world of wonderful music that will never make it to the air waves." ]
In the past, I used Zagg InvisibleSHIELDs for a lot of devices. I started seeing design, cut, and material issues that I didn't like; so I switched to competing products - BodyGuardz, BestSkinsEver, ArmorSuit, etc. I hadn't used a Zagg product for years, so I decided to give them a try again. Let me preface my complaints by saying that I've installed a lot of wet-application protectors. With that out of the way, this was without a doubt the worst experience I've ever had. With installation, as others have mentioned in reviews, there is absolutely no give once the Zagg skin touches your device. Typically, with adequate solution, it's possible to place the skin and then slide it around into position (even on large skins like those for the iPad screen or back), and normally this seems to be the best way to get the skin properly aligned. The Zagg, though, simply would not move at all once in any contact with the device surface. I'm not sure whether it's the material or the solution or both, but movement was not possible. With any area of the skin touching the device, if it was crooked or off-center, it was necessary to pull it away and try again. To further complicate things, the solution seems to evaporate/disappear. Each time I had to reposition the skin, it was dry and sticky again and needed more solution applied. This is even more of an issue with the iPhone 5 which seems more prone to liquid entering the screen from the earpiece speaker hole. My phone is in a bag of rice right now trying to dry out the dark patches of moisture under the glass trying to get the Zagg installed. Another installation complication was how limp the material is and how much it tends to curl. I typically grip the skin in the center of opposite ends and try to lower the center first. Zagg even uses this same approach in their own installation video. The skin is so floppy and limp, though, that it just wouldn't cooperate. There was always some portion that was sagging and making contact with the device. Even once it's installed, the results are very disappointing. There is no lint or bubbles or excess liquid trapped beneath the skin, but the surface of Zagg's material just isn't very pleasant anymore. There are also lots of imperfections in the skin causing faint lines and light distortions from different angles. The cutouts are rough and amateurish and look like very little thought or effort was put into the design.	negative	[ "In the past, I used Zagg InvisibleSHIELDs for a lot of devices.", "I started seeing design, cut, and material issues that I didn't like; so I switched to competing products - BodyGuardz, BestSkinsEver, ArmorSuit, etc.", "I hadn't used a Zagg product for years, so I decided to give them a try again.", "Let me preface my complaints by saying that I've installed a lot of wet-application protectors.", "With that out of the way, this was without a doubt the worst experience I've ever had.", "With installation, as others have mentioned in reviews, there is absolutely no give once the Zagg skin touches your device.", "Typically, with adequate solution, it's possible to place the skin and then slide it around into position (even on large skins like those for the iPad screen or back), and normally this seems to be the best way to get the skin properly aligned.", "The Zagg, though, simply would not move at all once in any contact with the device surface.", "I'm not sure whether it's the material or the solution or both, but movement was not possible.", "With any area of the skin touching the device, if it was crooked or off-center, it was necessary to pull it away and try again.", "To further complicate things, the solution seems to evaporate/disappear.", "Each time I had to reposition the skin, it was dry and sticky again and needed more solution applied.", "This is even more of an issue with the iPhone 5 which seems more prone to liquid entering the screen from the earpiece speaker hole.", "My phone is in a bag of rice right now trying to dry out the dark patches of moisture under the glass trying to get the Zagg installed.", "Another installation complication was how limp the material is and how much it tends to curl.", "I typically grip the skin in the center of opposite ends and try to lower the center first.", "Zagg even uses this same approach in their own installation video.", "The skin is so floppy and limp, though, that it just wouldn't cooperate.", "There was always some portion that was sagging and making contact with the device.", "Even once it's installed, the results are very disappointing.", "There is no lint or bubbles or excess liquid trapped beneath the skin, but the surface of Zagg's material just isn't very pleasant anymore.", "There are also lots of imperfections in the skin causing faint lines and light distortions from different angles.", "The cutouts are rough and amateurish and look like very little thought or effort was put into the design." ]
I highly advise against buying this. Allow me to expalin... Let's lay out the facts: A <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Wii-Remote-Controller/dp/B000IMWK2G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Wii Remote Controller</a> on its own is $39.99. This Wii Remote + Wii Play game is $49.99. In essence, you are paying $39.99 for the Wii Remote and the remaining $10 for the game packed in. Since you could just buy the remote separately what you really need to know is: "If I want another Wii Remote, should I pay an extra $10 for the Wii Play game?" The answer is NO. The Wii Play game is a collection of mini games in the vein of Wii Sports. The catch is that this time the games have far, far less appeal. While we have logged countless hours on truly fun games like Wii Sports, <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rayman-Raving-Rabbids/dp/B000GEDN5E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rayman Raving Rabbids</a>, and <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Mario-Party-8/dp/B000LSJKAM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Mario Party 8</a>, it took my wife and I only about 20 minutes to play through the entire Wii Play collection and not a single mini-game left us wanting to play it again. In fact, each game on Wii Play reminded me of cheesy freeware games you can download or play online at "cure for boredom" sites. If, after reading this, you are still just dying to try it, I say: Borrow it from a friend. No friends have it? Ask yourself why. Then, if you STILL want to play it, go rent it. Spend $5 on a rental and discover for yourself that Wii Play has no "Rii" Play value.	negative	[ "I highly advise against buying this.", "Allow me to expalin...", "Let's lay out the facts: A <a data-hook=\"product-link-linked\" class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"/Wii-Remote-Controller/dp/B000IMWK2G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?", "ie=UTF8\">Wii Remote Controller</a> on its own is $39.", "99.", "This Wii Remote + Wii Play game is $49.", "99.", "In essence, you are paying $39.", "99 for the Wii Remote and the remaining $10 for the game packed in.", "Since you could just buy the remote separately what you really need to know is: \"If I want another Wii Remote, should I pay an extra $10 for the Wii Play game?", "\"\n\nThe answer is NO.", "The Wii Play game is a collection of mini games in the vein of Wii Sports.", "The catch is that this time the games have far, far less appeal.", "While we have logged countless hours on truly fun games like Wii Sports, <a data-hook=\"product-link-linked\" class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"/Rayman-Raving-Rabbids/dp/B000GEDN5E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?", "ie=UTF8\">Rayman Raving Rabbids</a>, and <a data-hook=\"product-link-linked\" class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"/Mario-Party-8/dp/B000LSJKAM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?", "ie=UTF8\">Mario Party 8</a>, it took my wife and I only about 20 minutes to play through the entire Wii Play collection and not a single mini-game left us wanting to play it again.", "In fact, each game on Wii Play reminded me of cheesy freeware games you can download or play online at \"cure for boredom\" sites.", "If, after reading this, you are still just dying to try it, I say: Borrow it from a friend.", "No friends have it?", "Ask yourself why.", "Then, if you STILL want to play it, go rent it.", "Spend $5 on a rental and discover for yourself that Wii Play has no \"Rii\" Play value." ]
I have played the game for about six hours now. I am truly dissapointed!! the storyline develops very slowly, not making any sense yet. I wonder why Squaresoft introduced the blitzball game, it is completely annoying!! I have been forcing myself to play just to see if the game gets any better, so far nothing!! I can only say that this has been the most boring FF I have played so far. Previously I had played FF8 and I had over 60 hours of gameplay (I couldn't play anything else) so I am giving this game (FFX) two stars, just because I expect to see some improvement later on, I hope my expectations are not wrong. The sphere grid ability system is far from intuitive and I still working on figuring out what to do with the characters. The good things about this game are the graphics, very well done!! Square is taking on the advantages that the PS2 console provide in terms of graphics. The voice acting is very well performed also, it is really good to hear the characters talk to each other, definitely something I missed from previous FF releases. I hope I can come back and rewrite this review and give more stars to it, but I can only say for now to those of you who are about to buy this game to hold it and wait, rent it, play it a day or two and then decide whether you want to purchase this game or not. So far I am planning to sell this game if it doesn't satisfy me the next two days.	negative	[ "I have played the game for about six hours now.", "I am truly dissapointed!!", "the storyline develops very slowly, not making any sense yet.", "I wonder why Squaresoft introduced the blitzball game, it is completely annoying!!", "I have been forcing myself to play just to see if the game gets any better, so far nothing!!", "I can only say that this has been the most boring FF I have played so far.", "Previously I had played FF8 and I had over 60 hours of gameplay (I couldn't play anything else) so I am giving this game (FFX) two stars, just because I expect to see some improvement later on, I hope my expectations are not wrong.", "The sphere grid ability system is far from intuitive and I still working on figuring out what to do with the characters.", "The good things about this game are the graphics, very well done!!", "Square is taking on the advantages that the PS2 console provide in terms of graphics.", "The voice acting is very well performed also, it is really good to hear the characters talk to each other, definitely something I missed from previous FF releases.", "I hope I can come back and rewrite this review and give more stars to it, but I can only say for now to those of you who are about to buy this game to hold it and wait, rent it, play it a day or two and then decide whether you want to purchase this game or not.", "So far I am planning to sell this game if it doesn't satisfy me the next two days." ]
I wanted more out of Enter the Matrix. Not some simple kiddie game rated T for no reason. I awaited for this game in the GR (game-revolution, where I work) mail box so I could snag it! But I snagged [stuff]. The game runs level based, like usual, and gives you two options for players, Ghost or Niobe. They each have the same missions except for car parts. Any way, the graphics are poor for the GCN. The focus button is the only cool part of the game. The like of different fighting skills is making the game boring. You don't even get to keep your guns every level. They should look at Turok: Evolution for help with that. All the missions sound hard, but tend to be too easy even on hard! Shooting people or beating the [stuff] out of them is cool, but lacks. Some enemies even get stuck in the wall. Ghost got stuck in the wall! That is weird! To die, just stand there and throw grenades at the ground! You can't die because the S.W.A.T. can't shoot! Well, have fun watching wour mash of polygons run around. Scare you later!	negative	[ "I wanted more out of Enter the Matrix.", "Not some simple kiddie game rated T for no reason.", "I awaited for this game in the GR (game-revolution, where I work) mail box so I could snag it!", "But I snagged [stuff].", "The game runs level based, like usual, and gives you two options for players, Ghost or Niobe.", "They each have the same missions except for car parts.", "Any way, the graphics are poor for the GCN.", "The focus button is the only cool part of the game.", "The like of different fighting skills is making the game boring.", "You don't even get to keep your guns every level.", "They should look at Turok: Evolution for help with that.", "All the missions sound hard, but tend to be too easy even on hard!", "Shooting people or beating the [stuff] out of them is cool, but lacks.", "Some enemies even get stuck in the wall.", "Ghost got stuck in the wall!", "That is weird!", "To die, just stand there and throw grenades at the ground!", "You can't die because the S.", "W.A.T. can't shoot!", "Well, have fun watching wour mash of polygons run around.", "Scare you later!" ]
I bought this remote with the understanding that it would be a remote on/off switch for my MoJo Mallard. The installation was a bit more difficult than anticipated, as it would not fit into the body cavity of the decoy as the battery has a small plastic box to house it. I had to remove the battery box completely (2 screws) so I had enough room in the cavity for the remote receiver could fit with the battery. With the battery box removed, I could now install the remote receiver into the cavity. To install the remote receiver, you first need to remove the wire-loop hook-up on the multi-pin connector. You then connect the remote. Caution -- the pins are not very secure and can wiggle out of alignment making it difficult to connect. Once connected, a green light will light up on the receiver, signaling a connection. You then need to reboot (clear the memory) the system by pushing the bottom of the receiver where the light lit up, for 5 seconds. You then need to press it again for 2 seconds, and then push the bottom on your remote control to sync the receiver to the remote control. Pack all the wires into the MoJo cavity, (Note -- I extended the wire antenna of the receiver out through one of the screw holes where I removed the battery box for better reception), and turn it on by pressing the on/off button on the bottom of the decoy. Here's where we hit the second installation speed bump. The remote would only slow the wings down -- they would not turn off. Fast or a little bit slower was the result. Frustrated, I contacted MoJo directly, and they offered to have the Remote Kit returned to them, and they would replace it Free of Charge. So off to the Post Office I went. As of this writing, I have returned the kit to MoJo Outdoors, and am waiting on the replacement kit. I will update this when I get it installed.	negative	[ "I bought this remote with the understanding that it would be a remote on/off switch for my MoJo Mallard.", "The installation was a bit more difficult than anticipated, as it would not fit into the body cavity of the decoy as the battery has a small plastic box to house it.", "I had to remove the battery box completely (2 screws) so I had enough room in the cavity for the remote receiver could fit with the battery.", "With the battery box removed, I could now install the remote receiver into the cavity.", "To install the remote receiver, you first need to remove the wire-loop hook-up on the multi-pin connector.", "You then connect the remote.", "Caution -- the pins are not very secure and can wiggle out of alignment making it difficult to connect.", "Once connected, a green light will light up on the receiver, signaling a connection.", "You then need to reboot (clear the memory) the system by pushing the bottom of the receiver where the light lit up, for 5 seconds.", "You then need to press it again for 2 seconds, and then push the bottom on your remote control to sync the receiver to the remote control.", "Pack all the wires into the MoJo cavity, (Note -- I extended the wire antenna of the receiver out through one of the screw holes where I removed the battery box for better reception), and turn it on by pressing the on/off button on the bottom of the decoy.", "Here's where we hit the second installation speed bump.", "The remote would only slow the wings down -- they would not turn off.", "Fast or a little bit slower was the result.", "Frustrated, I contacted MoJo directly, and they offered to have the Remote Kit returned to them, and they would replace it Free of Charge.", "So off to the Post Office I went.", "As of this writing, I have returned the kit to MoJo Outdoors, and am waiting on the replacement kit.", "I will update this when I get it installed." ]
This is the first in a six book series about Ava, a human/vampire hybrid. Isolated from both worlds, at age 25 she interrupts a vampire feeding and accidentally bonds the human to herself. In trying to find a way to free Carl from thrall, she lands in the middle of a battle between two covens. She is aided by Peter, a hostile human and Eddie, a mysterious supernatural. She is told to trust no one, and learns the truth of that advice the hard way. This book kept me engaged enough to finish it and to explore the remainder of the series. While I prefer series that contain resolution with each book, I will buy into a good serial series if there is an eventual closure. From reading descriptions and reviews, this series is open ended, suggesting the possibility of a follow up series. I didn't find this book engaging enough to invest that much time and money to be left hanging at the end of the series. For that reason, I won't be recommending or rereading Thirst.	negative	[ "This is the first in a six book series about Ava, a human/vampire hybrid.", "Isolated from both worlds, at age 25 she interrupts a vampire feeding and accidentally bonds the human to herself.", "In trying to find a way to free Carl from thrall, she lands in the middle of a battle between two covens.", "She is aided by Peter, a hostile human and Eddie, a mysterious supernatural.", "She is told to trust no one, and learns the truth of that advice the hard way.", "This book kept me engaged enough to finish it and to explore the remainder of the series.", "While I prefer series that contain resolution with each book, I will buy into a good serial series if there is an eventual closure.", "From reading descriptions and reviews, this series is open ended, suggesting the possibility of a follow up series.", "I didn't find this book engaging enough to invest that much time and money to be left hanging at the end of the series.", "For that reason, I won't be recommending or rereading Thirst." ]
Too bad there is no zero star rating selection-this abomination deserves it more than any other movie I've reviewed here. Why am I so harsh? Because Peter Sellers had died two years before this movie was released, and it is composed almost entirely of scenes culled from prior Pink Panther movies or scenes which had never been used in the actual movies. Everything else consists of a thin story about Inspector Clouseau disappearing, and a female television interviewer who talks to various people in Clouseau's life-his parents, Kato, Dreyfus, and others. The scene where Dreyfus makes a Herculean effort to hide his pleasure at Clouseau's disappearance is the movie's only hilarious moment. Sounds bad? It's even worse than I can describe. It was only an hour and a half long, but felt like several hours. The previously unused clips clearly should never have been used in the first place. Other than the Dreyfus scene, everything was wholly unfunny and boring. Frankenstein's monster was nowhere near as horrible. Blake Edwards called this movie a tribute to the late Peter Sellers. Edwards may have despised Sellers in life, but I wouldn't wish this "tribute" upon my worst enemy.	negative	[ "Too bad there is no zero star rating selection-this abomination deserves it more than any other movie I've reviewed here.", "Why am I so harsh?", "Because Peter Sellers had died two years before this movie was released, and it is composed almost entirely of scenes culled from prior Pink Panther movies or scenes which had never been used in the actual movies.", "Everything else consists of a thin story about Inspector Clouseau disappearing, and a female television interviewer who talks to various people in Clouseau's life-his parents, Kato, Dreyfus, and others.", "The scene where Dreyfus makes a Herculean effort to hide his pleasure at Clouseau's disappearance is the movie's only hilarious moment.", "Sounds bad?", "It's even worse than I can describe.", "It was only an hour and a half long, but felt like several hours.", "The previously unused clips clearly should never have been used in the first place.", "Other than the Dreyfus scene, everything was wholly unfunny and boring.", "Frankenstein's monster was nowhere near as horrible.", "Blake Edwards called this movie a tribute to the late Peter Sellers.", "Edwards may have despised Sellers in life, but I wouldn't wish this \"tribute\" upon my worst enemy." ]
The connectors did not work. I clamped down the LED side and they never made contact with the contact points. Make sure to triple check the directions. I made attempts with the sticky tape cover on and off. I tried with the waterproof covering on and cut off. The Wired side did not fully cut through the coating and make contact with the wire. Tested the connections with a meter. It took less time to clean off the coating and soldering the wires individually and shrink wrapping the ends. This is not the first time that I have tried these type of solder-less connectors. I have not had luck with any. cheap or expensive.	negative	[ "The connectors did not work.", "I clamped down the LED side and they never made contact with the contact points.", "Make sure to triple check the directions.", "I made attempts with the sticky tape cover on and off.", "I tried with the waterproof covering on and cut off.", "The Wired side did not fully cut through the coating and make contact with the wire.", "Tested the connections with a meter.", "It took less time to clean off the coating and soldering the wires individually and shrink wrapping the ends.", "This is not the first time that I have tried these type of solder-less connectors.", "I have not had luck with any.", "cheap or expensive." ]
Purchased the pink pant and the gray pant with red stripes. The pink is really ugly. I bought it because it was on sale for about 60% off. The gray is less ugly but not particularly attractive. The material is not up to par with the adidas pants of a decade ago. Then again, most things are not like they were a decade ago. Three stars for the downgrade on quality and the ugly color. Good pants, though, for lounging around the house and being lazy. UPDATE: October 2012: I do a regular wash and dry cycle on these pants. I've worn them for a while, they are my go to loungers. Sadly, they shrank in the wash -- lengthwise and widthwise along the waist and hips. Size up if you get a good deal on this. I'm taking off another star for the inferior fabric. I still give it two stars because it's not the end of the world if you anticipate the pants shrinking and you get a good deal on them.	negative	[ "Purchased the pink pant and the gray pant with red stripes.", "The pink is really ugly.", "I bought it because it was on sale for about 60% off.", "The gray is less ugly but not particularly attractive.", "The material is not up to par with the adidas pants of a decade ago.", "Then again, most things are not like they were a decade ago.", "Three stars for the downgrade on quality and the ugly color.", "Good pants, though, for lounging around the house and being lazy.", "UPDATE: October 2012: I do a regular wash and dry cycle on these pants.", "I've worn them for a while, they are my go to loungers.", "Sadly, they shrank in the wash -- lengthwise and widthwise along the waist and hips.", "Size up if you get a good deal on this.", "I'm taking off another star for the inferior fabric.", "I still give it two stars because it's not the end of the world if you anticipate the pants shrinking and you get a good deal on them." ]
Little Women is very like The Brady Bunch. In its time, everybody knew it was sugary-sweet and unrealistic. (Including, and especially, Alcott.) It still dared to tackle subjects previously taboo. (For Little Women, it was daring to show girls with personalities, for Brady Bunch, it was new to show blended families.) The world was never like this--even Alcott's own life was not. She idealized a miserable childhood into something that would sell: a noble, genteel poverty that conveniently appeals to today's nostalgiacs. If you enjoy that, great. Just keep some perspective. Belongs in classes studying how literature has changed.	negative	[ "Little Women is very like The Brady Bunch.", "In its time, everybody knew it was sugary-sweet and unrealistic.", "(Including, and especially, Alcott.", ") It still dared to tackle subjects previously taboo.", "(For Little Women, it was daring to show girls with personalities, for Brady Bunch, it was new to show blended families.", ")\n\nThe world was never like this--even Alcott's own life was not.", "She idealized a miserable childhood into something that would sell: a noble, genteel poverty that conveniently appeals to today's nostalgiacs.", "If you enjoy that, great.", "Just keep some perspective.", "Belongs in classes studying how literature has changed." ]
I have six computers and all of them run Kaspersky in one version or another. I put Kaspersky Pure 2011 on my computer last year. I don't use it to manage the other computers and so I figured it was a waste of computer resources and decided to take advantage of a sale on Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2012. I've installed and used the KIS before on all my six computers and others. In the past, I was able to install a newer version of Kaspersky without uninstalling the older version. Last Spring when I installed KIS 2011 on my daughter's computer, I had a problem and had to uninstall the previous version of Kaspersky. No problem. When I tried to install KIS 2012 on my computer last week, I also encountered the uninstall request, so I tried to uninstall Kaspersky Pure to no avail. It kept hanging up after going through most of the uninstall and my computer froze and had to be rebooted. This occurred three, separate attempts and my computer froze at the exact same point each time. Well, I needed AV software particularly since I was beginning my last online graduate class on cybersecurity. So, I had no choice but to order Kaspersky Pure 2. I could not call Kaspersky only email them. When they got back to me, I had already installed Kaspersky Pure 2. This installed without a problem and no hanging up or rebooting was needed. So, Kaspersky's response was a form letter kind of response about incompatible software, firewalls, uninstalling other versions of AV software etc. I emailed them once again. Really, they should look into this because I do not want to have to install Pure next year! I have not yet heard back from them. I will say that when one of my daughter's accidentally downloaded malware to one of our computers, Kaspersky was spot on and responded in a timely fashion and provided steps on removing it and sending them the evidence. So, either they have changed since last year, or they don't care about this problem. The two stars are about the issue of not being able to uninstall Kaspersky Pure - ridiculous. I have a Windows 7 64-bit Dell core i7 laptop with two solid state hard drives and an undercarriage cooling system. Other than this issue, the Pure 2 has worked well except that I apparently encountered TWO (count 'em) Trojans on a very reputable website (doing research paper work) and rather than quarantine them, Kaspersky Pure 2 presented a message stating that they could not be quarantined, that I must delete the archive or do nothing. I don't know what archive it was referencing but without any other options, I did what I was told and had to do this twice - I guess one for each Trojan. With other malware in the past, Kaspersky has always quarantined it. I am unsure what to make of this but haven't had time to research it.	negative	[ "I have six computers and all of them run Kaspersky in one version or another.", "I put Kaspersky Pure 2011 on my computer last year.", "I don't use it to manage the other computers and so I figured it was a waste of computer resources and decided to take advantage of a sale on Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2012.", "I've installed and used the KIS before on all my six computers and others.", "In the past, I was able to install a newer version of Kaspersky without uninstalling the older version.", "Last Spring when I installed KIS 2011 on my daughter's computer, I had a problem and had to uninstall the previous version of Kaspersky.", "No problem.", "When I tried to install KIS 2012 on my computer last week, I also encountered the uninstall request, so I tried to uninstall Kaspersky Pure to no avail.", "It kept hanging up after going through most of the uninstall and my computer froze and had to be rebooted.", "This occurred three, separate attempts and my computer froze at the exact same point each time.", "Well, I needed AV software particularly since I was beginning my last online graduate class on cybersecurity.", "So, I had no choice but to order Kaspersky Pure 2.", "I could not call Kaspersky only email them.", "When they got back to me, I had already installed Kaspersky Pure 2.", "This installed without a problem and no hanging up or rebooting was needed.", "So, Kaspersky's response was a form letter kind of response about incompatible software, firewalls, uninstalling other versions of AV software etc.", "I emailed them once again.", "Really, they should look into this because I do not want to have to install Pure next year!", "I have not yet heard back from them.", "I will say that when one of my daughter's accidentally downloaded malware to one of our computers, Kaspersky was spot on and responded in a timely fashion and provided steps on removing it and sending them the evidence.", "So, either they have changed since last year, or they don't care about this problem.", "The two stars are about the issue of not being able to uninstall Kaspersky Pure - ridiculous.", "I have a Windows 7 64-bit Dell core i7 laptop with two solid state hard drives and an undercarriage cooling system.", "Other than this issue, the Pure 2 has worked well except that I apparently encountered TWO (count 'em) Trojans on a very reputable website (doing research paper work) and rather than quarantine them, Kaspersky Pure 2 presented a message stating that they could not be quarantined, that I must delete the archive or do nothing.", "I don't know what archive it was referencing but without any other options, I did what I was told and had to do this twice - I guess one for each Trojan.", "With other malware in the past, Kaspersky has always quarantined it.", "I am unsure what to make of this but haven't had time to research it." ]
I have an older Nalgene bottle that was manufactured with BPA. I contacted the Nalgene "Customer Service" and was informed that they are not replacing older bottles with BPA and are not offering any coupon or incentive to their long time customers. My wife and I have used this bottle for several years and Nalgene couldn't care less. See the quote from their customer service department below... "Additionally, there was never a recall of any Polycarbonate (with BPA) products. Nalgene is not accepting trade-ins or issuing refunds for polycarbonate product." Perhaps they can explain why their new bottles are marketed as "BPA Free" while this chemical is supposedly harmless in older bottles. Frankly, I am astounded by their lack of regard for customer health. I once thought this was a respectable company. I was clearly mistaken. The new "Tritan" bottles have a secret chemical formula and in 10 years they will find another carcinogenic/hormone mimicking chemical in the current bottle. These customers will be **** out of luck too. Buy a stainless steel bottle from somebody else. Do NOT buy from Nalgene.	negative	[ "I have an older Nalgene bottle that was manufactured with BPA.", "I contacted the Nalgene \"Customer Service\" and was informed that they are not replacing older bottles with BPA and are not offering any coupon or incentive to their long time customers.", "My wife and I have used this bottle for several years and Nalgene couldn't care less.", "See the quote from their customer service department below...", "\"Additionally, there was never a recall of any Polycarbonate (with BPA) products.", "Nalgene is not accepting trade-ins or issuing refunds for polycarbonate product.", "\"\n\nPerhaps they can explain why their new bottles are marketed as \"BPA Free\" while this chemical is supposedly harmless in older bottles.", "Frankly, I am astounded by their lack of regard for customer health.", "I once thought this was a respectable company.", "I was clearly mistaken.", "The new \"Tritan\" bottles have a secret chemical formula and in 10 years they will find another carcinogenic/hormone mimicking chemical in the current bottle.", "These customers will be **** out of luck too.", "Buy a stainless steel bottle from somebody else.", "Do NOT buy from Nalgene." ]
I was given a set of these and I can't for the life of me figure out why people like them so much. The sound quality is great but there is no bass at all, but thats kind if expected for the size. Call quality is superb and hands free works flawlessly too. Very comfortable around my head too. Battery life is also great. So why is it I hate them so much? The signal! Its terrible! Don't expect to work out with this pair. The more you move the more your audio cuts in and out. And if I stick my phone in my pocket it cuts out to the point I usually get frustrated and shut them off and use my loud speaker. Ashame really, if not for the signal issues i'd give this pair 5 stars.

I bought this from Walmart for family mobile. Which is basically T Mobile through Walmart any way this has been the worst phone I have ever bought ever.... It freezes all the time I am having to constantly pull the battery out and restart it because it will get set in a reboot cycle.. Where if you let it go it would just restart itself 6-10 times before I finally just pull the back off and take the battery out ! Some apps just won't work with it even though they should. On top of this it would not work with any micro SD card over 4 MB it just wouldn't accept it. This is the biggest Joke of a phone I have ever seen. Yeah it is a touch screen yeah it is a Samsung and Android but save your money people. It would not update at all I would try to force it to update and it would tell me there is no update available, I had to download this clunky software off the Samsung website called "keys" and connect the phone to the computer to install a update. Seriously save your money and put it to some thing better or just get a old school phone I have had this about a year and it has started to get worse I have to pull the battery out at least twice a day now I am just waiting for it to die so I can get as much out of it as I can before I buy some thing else.

Over 6' of well built confident hot male who isn't afraid to be a super hero yet is humble about it. She is a third grade teacher who I'm not sure I get.

I wanted to love this product. We have had the carpet and hardwood floor cleaner for several years. We get a new carpet cleaner that no longer cleaned hard floors. We got the Hoover floormate to make cleaning easier but it’s been anything but easier. The floormate doesn’t like dirt. This is even after I vacuum or sweep before I use the floormate and heaven forbid I ask it to clean a spot off the floor. Even with the tile and grout brush it cleans as good as spilling water on the floor and sucking up half of it. When you turn off the floormate it just keeps leaking water leaving a puddle of water waiting for you to slip and break your neck. I wish I was exaggerating but I’m not. I want to throw this in the trash because it’s just more work cleaning up after it.	negative	[ "I wanted to love this product.", "We have had the carpet and hardwood floor cleaner for several years.", "We get a new carpet cleaner that no longer cleaned hard floors.", "We got the Hoover floormate to make cleaning easier but it’s been anything but easier.", "The floormate doesn’t like dirt.", "This is even after I vacuum or sweep before I use the floormate and heaven forbid I ask it to clean a spot off the floor.", "Even with the tile and grout brush it cleans as good as spilling water on the floor and sucking up half of it.", "When you turn off the floormate it just keeps leaking water leaving a puddle of water waiting for you to slip and break your neck.", "I wish I was exaggerating but I’m not.", "I want to throw this in the trash because it’s just more work cleaning up after it." ]
Hi,. This is my first post so go easy. I've been training for the FLM ( my first marathon ) since December and looking for a sub 3:30 as I have stuck to my weekly Garmin training for that time. This week is supposed to be my hardest week ( 56 miles ), with a 22 miler run this weekend. However, I have picked up a couple of minor injuries and dont know what to do. . First injury :- I have recently been getting knee pains, which I think is runners knee. I have tried to keep my training up, only missing a few short runs so far. I have also started running with a knee starp which helps until I finish when I get a bit of pain. Second injury :- I'm not sure what this injury is but dont think it relates to my training, I've had it before some time ago. It's a pain in the arch of my foot when I'm walking, it's not bad at the moment but I'm guessing that it might get worse an end up as a sharp pain in the arch. The irritating thing about this is that I brought it on today when I went shopping with some new trainers on ( not running trainers ). I have spoke to other people about this ( non runners too ) and they also say they have had it from new shoes\trainers. I was hoping that while I taper my running over the next few weeks my injuries would get better but dont want to stop training yet if I can help it. Any suggestions? Thanks	negative	[ "Hi,.", "This is my first post so go easy.", "I've been training for the FLM ( my first marathon ) since December and looking for a sub 3:30 as I have stuck to my weekly Garmin training for that time.", "This week is supposed to be my hardest week ( 56 miles ), with a 22 miler run this weekend.", "However, I have picked up a couple of minor injuries and dont know what to do.", ".", "First injury :- I have recently been getting knee pains, which I think is runners knee.", "I have tried to keep my training up, only missing a few short runs so far.", "I have also started running with a knee starp which helps until I finish when I get a bit of pain.", "Second injury :- I'm not sure what this injury is but dont think it relates to my training, I've had it before some time ago.", "It's a pain in the arch of my foot when I'm walking, it's not bad at the moment but I'm guessing that it might get worse an end up as a sharp pain in the arch.", "The irritating thing about this is that I brought it on today when I went shopping with some new trainers on ( not running trainers ).", "I have spoke to other people about this ( non runners too ) and they also say they have had it from new shoes\\trainers.", "I was hoping that while I taper my running over the next few weeks my injuries would get better but dont want to stop training yet if I can help it.", "Any suggestions?", "Thanks" ]
I had two Stanley powerlock tape measures for 15+ years. They were great and durable. When they finally gave it up in the last couple of years I replaced both my 16' and 25' with "similar" versions. One failed in < 1 year (4 months) and the other lasted a bit over 1 1/2 years. I don't use them often - say 10-15 times a year. One broke by the spring unwinding internally. The second broke by the metal tape breaking. Of course the warranty did not cover them, so I just throw them out. I mean come on Stanley! These are pieces of $@@%$%. You just lost a lifetime customer. I will not even consider other products by Stanley, when they show up. I would say save your money and find another brand. The quality of these tapes is much too poor.	negative	[ "I had two Stanley powerlock tape measures for 15+ years.", "They were great and durable.", "When they finally gave it up in the last couple of years I replaced both my 16' and 25' with \"similar\" versions.", "One failed in < 1 year (4 months) and the other lasted a bit over 1 1/2 years.", "I don't use them often - say 10-15 times a year.", "One broke by the spring unwinding internally.", "The second broke by the metal tape breaking.", "Of course the warranty did not cover them, so I just throw them out.", "I mean come on Stanley!", "These are pieces of $@@%$%.", "You just lost a lifetime customer.", "I will not even consider other products by Stanley, when they show up.", "I would say save your money and find another brand.", "The quality of these tapes is much too poor." ]
