2 | It still hurts! | I'm still hurting from losing this great man. He was a hero to me. There isn't much I can say except that I will always remember him. If you missed the airing of this hour long program on animal planet then buy this. I've taped it and watched it many times. It's a great way to honor a hero. And he did truly change our world. Something only a handfull of people manage to do. He left the world knowing he made a difference. Good on you mate!!!! B | 11 | [

2 | Cardinal Martinti was inline to be Pope in 2005 | My God bless Cardinal Martini - he passed away on Friday, August 31, 2012 at Aloisianum, a Jesuit institute in Gallarte, Varese province,Italy. His funeral will be Monday, September 3, 2012 at the Catherdral of Milan Italy. Approximately August 8, 2012, he gave his a finalinterview to reporters from Corriere della Sera, an Italian paper. In it he was quoted "[European and American] culture has aged, ourchurches are big and empty and the church bureaucracy rises up, our rituals and our cassocks are pompous. ... The Church has remained 200years behind the times. Why has it not been shaken up? Are we scared? Fear instead of courage?". He will be buried in his spiritual home,Jerusalem, Israel. He was a brave and courageous spiritual leader and his writings will have a very long impact on our lives. | 11 | [

1 | Scanner for what purpose ? | Before buying a receipt scanner like this, ask yourself how you plan using it.We've used the Visioneer Paperport Scanner for over 10 years for my wife's tax practice. We scan all documents we get from the clients as backup. The Visioneer performed well for us. It was fast. We never used any character recognition as speed was the key feature we wanted. We had a preXP model so we had to upgrade.This is where we made the mistake of buying the neatreceipts. We thought it was going to be fast as visioneer. Even with the character recognition off, it was damn slow.Completely unacceptable. But in all fairness to neatreceipts, it might be a good scanner for somebody looking for OCR scanner to link to expense reports etc. If you need speed and you have a lot of documents, sad to say this is not the one. FOr a few receipts each time, maybe OK.So it goes back for a return. | 11 | [

1 | Don't waste your money on this junk. | I should have listened to the comments before purchasing this junk. It only lasted a week. The valve on the second pump (the one that is not attached to the motor) would get stuck after a minute and i would have to stop pumping and dry it out. As all you mothers that pump would know, it sucks to interupt the pump when your milk is flowing smoothly. I paid $50 for this worthless piece of junk. They should discontinue this product. I had to end up spending $250 for the Medela Pump in Style pump. I should have bought that from the start. It is soo much better than this pump. Also the description said it was a quiet pump. NOT! It was so loud (sounded like a lawn-mower) that i would have to pump in another room. I would recommend every one to not purchase any Evenflo products. I have a baby car seat manufactured by them and it was not easy to use at all. The only good products that they do sell are the baby bottles. | 15 | [

1 | Worst NOFX i've heard | This CD started out with "The Separation of Church and Skate." This song was rediculously good. I was so excited. I was thinking " I can't believe NOFX got better. The second song and third were pretty good too. It went downhill from there. Pretty crappy to be honest. I normally like NOFX's silly songs like "clams have feelings too" and "liza and louise" but "shes nubs" is annoying and horrible. Aside from the 1st track and a few others this CD isnt too great, don't waste your money. Get "Punk in Drublic" "White Trash..." "The Decline" or "Pump up the Valuum" instead. Weak Effort. Where's the energy? | 12 | [

2 | Deceptively simple idea, but really, really funny | It's a little hard to explain this book to someone who hasn't seen it: "See, she takes these little plastic chicks and surrounds them with dollhouse furniture and takes pictures of them, then writes these hilarious captions...". About this time, the person you're talking to is giving you an odd look, and you close lamely with "You'd just have to see it. It's really funny."But the thing is, it IS really funny. I gave it to my lovely bride as a birthday present after she kept returning to it at the store and laughing at one image after another. Now, we're taking turns browsing through it again and again. "Sleep with one eye open, mother." "Princess Gwyneth's money was on Puff." Great stuff."Bitter with Baggage" kind of reminds me of the Monty Python fish-slapping dance sketch: it's a good test of whether someone has even a rudimentary sense of humor. If they do, they're sure to get at least a chuckle out of this, and maybe a lot more. | 11 | [

2 | Beautiful | This collection caught my attention a while back while browsing in a store. I picked `The Food of Spain' and started to look through it. After getting it home and really looking through it, I instantly loved it. I went online to see if there were any more books in the collection and sure enough there were. These books are presented beautifully and are overall fun and exciting to read. A great 'coffee table' type book. Beautiful pictures and great explanations. The recipes are very classic. Loved it so much I bought a couple of other books from `The Food of _____" collection. A must have if you are looking into getting a cookbook on food from a specific location. Also would recommend `The Food of Spain" and "The Food of France". Love them just as much as this one. | 12 | [

1 | Better bottle, Bad nipple | I've got a 2 week old. We started with the Playtex Nurser Bottles. Great bottles, but the nipple was way too large for my son's mouth and he got a blister on his top lip. So I tried Gerber for newborns...smaller nipple, but more bubbles and gas for baby. So I bought this VentAire because it has a smaller nipple AND is good for gas. But my son sucked on it for 5 minutes and got nothing out of it. Then I realized that the nipple doesn't just have a hole in it like other bottles do. It has the slit-type hole, and the baby has to be squeezing the very tip if anything's going to come out. Well babies don't suck that way. They suck at the wider part, naturally. But we solved our problem by taking the nipple off of the Gerber bottle and use it on the VentAire bottle. (They tell you not to do this.) But it works perfectly now...no gas, no sucking problems. Whew! | 14 | [

2 | Beware of the Klopeks! | The Burbs was one of my favorite movies as a child and I was so thrilled when I finally found it on DVD! It is extremely an late 80's film but it still has magic that will always be with this movie! Tom Hanks is the star in this movie. Basically he is vacation when he notices that his new neighbors are fishy to say the least. Him and his two neighbors decide to investigate. They try to get information many different comical ways-and in the end they end up even in the Klopek's house (the weird neighbors). When in the house they end up hitting a gas line and blowing up the house when this happens they are set to be arrested but something will turn up to prove the Klopek's were not who they acted like they were. This movie is filled with humor and is an over all good time. But to those it is 80's acting and it is 80's looking. Which I personally like but some may not enjoy. If you love 80's flicks this is one to add to your list! | 11 | [

2 | Simple Beauty | My rating is really a 3.5 but I will round it up to a 4. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter is a movie worth watching. The cinematography is beautiful throughout. The storyline is interesting and contains some fundamental lessons about life and its cycles. The script is also what fell short for me however. It was a little too simple for my liking. Given the lack of dialogue, or other alternate persuaders, it was difficult for me to believe the young woman was attracted to the young man in the first place. Additionally, the jump to her ultimate fate was too quick. While the wise old man made reference to the outcome earlier in the film it seemed too convenient. I was hoping for some dramatic revelation at the film's conclusion but it never came for me. The film ended as it began...quietly, in keeping with the wise old man's nature. | 11 | [

1 | Don't buy this item just from the outlook | If you want to buy this item is because of the wood like outlook, please forget about it. Because this furniture is totally made by recycle wood, only the front side has wood-like skin. Look inside you would see ugly surface of recycle wood. And the worst part is that drawer is extremely weak. The bottom of the drawer is made of 3 mm thick only recycle paper, it is as thin as a paper and the depth of drawer is only 10 cm. You are not allowed to put much clothes or item inside the drawer, otherwise it will crash.Beside the worst drawer, the structure of the dresser is not stable as well. After you finish installation, the whole dresser keeps swing. Therefore, you can see the dresser may fall down warning in the first page of installation manual. Overall, this is very poor quality furniture. Don't be fool by the front side wood-like skin. It is worse than any furniture you can buy in the Wal-Mart or target. Don't buy it absolutely. | 12 | [

1 | I tried twice to finish it, I really did... | This time I picked it up thinking I could finish it because I'm teaching calculus this term. I knew the prose was absurdly flowery, to the point of severe distraction, but I thought I could get some nice images and phrases for my students. But I can't read any more. It's like listening to a Dan Fogelberg song. The points Berlinksi wants to make are terribly contorted in order to fit around his intended imagery. I must look elsewhere. Berlinki cannot help since he's just too full of himself here. I will not give this book to the library. I'll throw it in a Goodwill bin and hope they only charge a quarter for it. It is worth that. I'd throw it in the trash but I can't do that to any book. | 11 | [

2 | Good book for a new user | I am a new CAD user. I obtained a job with a startup company. My company requested that I learn SolidWorks. The training budget is very tight, so I needed to learn SolidWorks on my own. I purchased this book after I talked to the local Community College CAD instructor. I was looking for a simple and easy book on SolidWorks.The author goes through a series of assemblies that combine numerous components. The provided highlighted action section for the step-by-step approach is great. The book has a very usable CD. The CD provided insight on assembly techniques, menus, commands, etc. All books should have this type of layout and I will not buy a book without an instructional CD. The CD is a real time saver and a great learning tool. | 11 | [

2 | A great, and well made CD | When I first put this CD into my CD player, it was like WOW. I cn't believe how good the songs were in this CD. Most of the songs had really good lyrics with the exception of "That Boy" and "Matchbox," which had horrible lyrics. Another good thing about the songs, was that just about all of them had a great melody that went along perfectly with the lyrics. I had never heard most of the songs, and when I heard them, I liked them a lot. Even if you haven't heard any Beatles songs, this is still the CD for you. Buy this CD!!1. Love Me Do-8/102.

2 | Woohooo | One day I was discussing anime with some people at work and it made me think of the Star Blazers tune back from when I was 7 or 8 years old. So, I went lookin on the internet for the series on DVD. At the time they hadn't even released part I yet, so I waited and bought it the day it came out. The grainy film (it hasn't been touched up) and quirky music only seem to add value for me because it is exactly the way I remembered it. Enhanced sound may have been okay though, since I did spend a lot of money on my surround system. (Thus one star deducted)Also what may be a point of interest... I filled in the registration card that came with the DVD. Then I waited for a long time for the second disc to come out. When it finally came out I popped in the disc and they had added all the features I requested. Lost footage, etc. Except for better sound. | 11 | [

1 | THIS TOY SUCKS!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! | Like so many of the reviews written I have the same problem. THe mic piece broke right away and trying to get a replacement was a NIGHTMARE!!! Kid Station was very unhelpful and rude. Customer service/ non-support did not care either way if the product was returned or not. I actually called little tikes to complain about them. The Key board itself is cheap, plastic is flimsy, the stool is not sturdy the music is way to load, and the mic holder broke right away! biggest waste of $30. The only reson why i rated this toy a 1 star was b/c there was no way to rate this a BIG FAT ZERO star!! save yourself the hassle and do not buy this toy! buy anthing else but this!!!!!!! | 11 | [

2 | Excellent | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:4.1 The first book. A great start. 309 pages( pages are not including about the author, etc.)Harry potter and the Chamber of Secrets: 4.7 Excellent. Its belnd of suspense and action is magnificent. 349Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban:4.2 Slightly darker than the first two. Not as suspenseful and action-filled as the second, but very good nontheless. 435 pagesHary Potter and the Goblet of Fire: 4.2 Much darker than the other books. Much longer, too. This book is the turning point in the series, as this book and the next books are much loger than the first three. 734 pagesHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: 5 An absolute masterpiece.

2 | Manu Chao on the screen! | Hurray! After enjoying his music, I can finally see him perform. The two creative documentaries at the end are fascinating. They are real art work and the llama killing is family related. It is a tradition in Bolivia. I suggest researching it. It is amazing how Manu captures Bolivia, Ecuador and other towns. I also like to see how he performs with el pueblo. The creativity is amazing and I really enjoy his message. Hearing it is one thing, seeing it as art is another. Manu Chao is a unique artist. His music is for the world to hear and watch. It is family entertainment, beacuse no one should ignore his message.Suerte | 13 | [

1 | really bad technology | So how do you make a worse product? Put a lot of good things in and then have it not work. I've owned the 740 for four months. It's battery has gone dead a dozen times despite my best efforts to keep it charged. Buttons in the wrong place. No back-up battery circa 1990. Makes you give it a new name and go through set up again every time the battery goes dead!!!! All this led to syncing problems. And Toshiba is of absolutely no help. A very very bad product. Anyone thinking of buying one should immediately look elsewhere. | 11 | [

1 | Bad science, worse writing | Just a couple of examples of how utterly worthless the science is in the Rama sequels:The octospiders, we learn, are an underwater race. Fine. But Gentry Lee has them communicating by bands of colored light around their heads, because--get this--sound doesn't travel well under water, but light does. Uh huh. That's what he said. Apparently, he never heard of whales and dolphins.So, the octospiders have no words for anything. Yet, later, Lee makes up octospider words for their system of measuring time (the smallest unit being about 20 seconds, as I recall). Yep. They have no speech, but they have names for things.That's just for starters. As I forced myself to finish reading this dreck, I began to wonder if it was a hoax, a challenge to the readers to find as many inconsistencies as possible. It just made me feel angry and insulted. | 11 | [

2 | Has got a lot of cool tunes.....plus the pics are great! | I've liked everything 'The Surfers' have put out. Maybe I'm not as judgmental as some, but I think this disc is wonderful. I think 'Weird Revolution' might be their best album, it's a maturity thing I guess. But I like 'Rembrandt Pussyhorse' as well. But back to 'piouhgd', tracks 2, 3, 5, & 6 make it worth it on it's own. 'Revolution pt. II' is full of, I think fellow Texan names, 'Lonesome Bulldog' has the hilarious Kennedy tie-in, and 'The Hurdy Gurdy Man' cover is well done. I think 'Golden Showers' is a terrific track. Maybe some of the other tracks are not up to standards, but I love the fotos.....typical 'Surfers' !! ****+ | 11 | [

1 | Why all the hype? | I read "Eragon" as part of my own market research as a writer of teen fiction, and fail to see why it is getting praise. It's a far cry from unique, set in a fantasy world like most others. While I was interested enough to find out what happens next, the plot was never really remarkable. Plot "twists" are encountered with a slight nod. The psychology behind the characters is loose and some developments are sketchy (a woman on one side of the world conveniently appears on the other side of the world, and got there before Eragon, though it took him a week). And the ending...wait...that's the ending? I am reminded of my early efforts with managing long plots. I had the beginnings down, but the ends rushed to an impatient resolution. I think this book is 90% hype, and I'm not impressed that he started writing when he was 15. So did I, and while my 500-pages of amateur effort commit many of the same sins as Paolini's published work, it's a better read, and unpublished (thank god!). | 11 | [

1 | Awful | Good seller/service but these handkerchiefs are poorly made. They are like snowflakes, no 2 alike. All have something wrong after washing. Loose threads (see picture), out of square (see picture), crumpled.They look great out of the package - perfect in fact. That changes after 1 washing - after 2 they weren't any better, worse in some cases.I do not recommend these. Go to Kohls or any place that sells Dockers brand, they are 10x better. Thicker cotton, tighter weave, bigger size. $12 for 9 pure cotton white, $12 for 6 blue plaid (3 royal blue, 3 gray-blue). The plaid ones are a little bigger. Kohls price is Retail - mine were on sale, 30% less.Don't waste your money on these. Mine are going to Good Will or rag bag. Oh, to be fair, a few of these hankies are fine (not frayed, etc) - but the entire package should be that way. | 12 | [

2 | ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL | As a novice vegetable gardener I purchased this soap to mix with water and cooking oil to use as an organic pesticide. Naturally after reading the reviews I wanted to see if it was worth all the hype. OMG! I'll NEVER bathe with anything else besides Dr.Bronner's Peppermint 18-in-1 Hemp Peppermint Soap! My skin has never been so CLEAN and FRESH!! The smell and the tingling sensation only intensifies the experience, it's AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You won't be disappointed. You'll need a loofah to get it to lather due to it's lack of chemical lather boosters. I'm back to order more, this time adding the lavender soap as well!! Can't wait to try it on all the other suggested uses I've read about in the reviews here on Amazon. | 11 | [

1 | Not Worth the Price | 1. It is an effective filter. Viewed from the sides, you see nothing but black2. If you have a "14.1 inch screen", as many laptops do, it does NOT mean that this is a perfect fit.3. Don't try hand-trimming with a pair of scissors. You'll be disappointed. I used the paper slicer at the office to trim some height, and there's a 1/16 of an inch or so I wish I could have back. May seem trivial, but the gap really shows.4. Biggest problem: it doesn't self-adhere, and the adhesive tabs provided for mounting are just lousy. They don't hold anything at all in place. when you open and close your laptop, there's the privacy filter, laying on your keyboard. | 11 | [

1 | Does not hold 4 cups! | I bought this for everyday use because I crochet and knit and have cats. Once I get settled on the couch to do my needlework, the cats curl up around me and make getting up to replenish my coffee cup difficult. The carafe does keep my coffee hot for the short time it takes to drink a carafe full. The description says "4-Cup Carafe", but it evidently means "4 5-oz. cups" because it only holds 20 oz. (2 1/2 cups.) If you want a small carafe, this one is nice, but it is a little too small for me.UPDATE: I have discovered that there is a design flaw in the lid. You depress the lever to pour your coffee and the coffee can go into the lid. I discovered this while rinsing the lid - when I depressed the lever, coffee came out!!! It wouldn't be a problem if all the liquid rinsed out at once, but I have to shake the lid while depressing the lever repeatedly and, sometimes, there is still liquid in the lid (I can hear it.) This makes me worry about mold inside the lid. | 11 | [

2 | Amazon has incorrect track listing for the Japanses release | Amazon has conflicting information on this listing that I would like to clear up. The product description is CORRECT in ststaing that this is the 18 track Japanese pressing. The track listing is INCORRECT, stating that there are 22 songs. The 22 song version is the more exspensive Korean version (that Amazon also has conflicting information for). Just thought I'd clear this up.As for the album, I was pleasantly surprised. Not being a huge fan of AWK's other 2 albums, I was expecting more of the same. WRONG. There are so many more sounds this album. Lots more instruments and better song arrangements. I was definitely not expecting this out of him but I'm glad to see some progression. You can only sing about partying for so long I guess. | 11 | [

1 | Just another mp3 player | This has to be one of the most overrated products on the market. Wow, a nasty screen that looks worse than an old game boy, with limited functionality. For around the same money, buy an Archos av340. These things store mp3s, store computer files, (making it a removable hard drive), record and edit video, and much more. Use the Archos, (or similar product) with your Tivo and you have Tivo to go. I have millions of Ren and Stimpy cartoons and movies with my mp3s now. If you think they are too bulky, buy a cheap workout mp3 player to take to the gym. For $500, don't let Apple laugh all the way to the bank. You can't even upload songs off of your Ipod, for $500???? Thats just insane. I am burning dvds to my Archos, and then sending the signal out to tvs and monitors at work and school.Ipods are all hype. Look at what personal multimedia units offer for LESS money in some cases, and you will switch. | 12 | [

There was no other source for the information. People living there didn't know what bank could get wire transfers. I left the book with NGOs in country for their use as a valuable resource.

2 | A Very Enjoyable Game | When I played this for the first time, I really enjoyed it. This is a very entertaining game with a lot of puzzles, foes, and characters. There are only a few cons that I could see:1. The beginning is a like a scrapbook. What I mean is that you can't play at the Dursley's, Diagon Alley, or even at Platform 9 3/4. This really makes the game shorter. I would have loved to have explored Diagon Alley. Instead, you are taken right to Hogwarts before you can even do anything in the game.2. The graphics aren't the best 3D graphics around, but they are still very nice and vivid.3. The game seems a little short. I wish it could have been a bit longer.Other than that, this game is awesome. I loved the different puzzles and rivals that had to be faced. The game can also be a little difficult at times too, especially the final "boss" (yet who doesn't like a challenge?).This would be a great gift for any Harry Potter fan or computer gamer.--M.

2 | practical qnd classroom friendly | This book is a wonderful resource book for any Language Arts teacher. The key to successfully using it is to find out what the child needs to learn to do to become a better reader. Then Mrs. Beers has listed what to do, and even shows how it has worked with real students. I know the activities could be used with first graders and on up. I taught Reading Recovery for ten years and have studied struggling readers for forty years, and I know these resources will work. I also like the authors she used to gather her research. She didn't just research through books, but also practiced these herself. Mrs. Beers has included places for busy teachers to go easily to find the materials to use. All Language Arts teachers shoud use this book. | 11 | [

1 | Sure, it is cheap, but quality justifies the price | I have own one of these for about 1 year now. When I first I got it, I was really happy. a big tv for less than $600 bucks. After I used it for 1 month, it stopped working. No image. Trying to find customer service number, took forever, but finally find it somewhere hidden. Called, took forever, and got one of local authorized repair center to pick up the tv. After 2 weeks of repair, got it back. Ever since, I have little problem here and there, but still exceptable, afterall, I only pay less than $600 for this. I would not buy another Apex tv. Quality is really bad in my opionion. Out of focus in the corners, color is off, and unstable sound. | 12 | [

1 | Major Design Flaw--Asking Kitchenaid to Replace | I was cleaning my very dusty kitchenaid chrome food processor today and when I released the bowl a chip of plastic came off the handle. My blood boiled...why was it dusty (and now chipped)?? Because it is completely useless in the 9 cup capacity. The inner plastic sleeve/tube is too short and the sauces and pestos I make ooze right up over that tube and all over the machine and counter. It's disgusting and to add insult to injury is hard to clean the now gooped up base! Why on earth would they design something so poorly. Don't they test these first? Did they think no one would use the 9 cup bowl? The mini-bowl is better, but none of my recipes work in that small of a bowl. This machine is worthless. I have written to kitchenaid today to complain as well. I want them to to replace it or at the least give me a bowl that works with out spilling all over. This was supposed to be top of the line--well it's bottom of the barrel--don't buy it. | 13 | [

2 | Genius | Sarah McLachlan has a voice that is simply beautiful and angelic. Out of all the female performers out there, I think her voice is by far the best one (just my opinion). She also has a remarkable songwriting ability. Of all her albums, this one is definitely my favorite one. Every song on here stands out on their own. It's hard to pick a favorite song, they're all equally as good, but I believe I'd have to say the title track and the piano/vocal version of "Possession" (the hidden track) are tied as my favorite. Also one of my faves is one that I think is quite overlooked, which is "Wait'. All of my aqcuaintances don't really dig it, but I think it's great. The whole album is just brilliant. It's not full of anger, just some music to soothe your soul. I'd really like a new album to come out soon, I'm in suspense to hear some fresh material. Also check out the collaboration she has done with Delerium ("Silence"), it's just as good, whether you like dance music or not. | 12 | [

2 | Holy Cow! I love it! | After reading reviews here I made the plunge. I have about 1500+ sq. feet of wood floor, and 2 dogs. In the winter (in Seattle) the floor needs cleaned almost every day. This thing makes an easy job of my most hated chore! I was pretty shocked at how dirty the water was after cleaning my *clean* floor. I love how the nozzle snaps off for cleaning afterwards. I agree it would be nice to have a little larger reservoir for water, but then it would be heavier too...I love how light weight it is, and most people probably have smaller floors to clean. If you have dogs, you know how the dog hair piles up every day, and you know how much dust and dirt they bring in...this is a god send! Plus with the wood floor much cleaner, the carpets should stay cleaner too. p.s. I used just vinegar and water in the cleaner and it worked great. | 12 | [

1 | Good play, terrible edition | The play is fine.This printing of it, however, is absolutely terrible. Do not waste your money on it. I don't care how much cheaper it is than any of the others. This is completely unreadable. It appears to have been scanned from an 1908 edition of Peer Gynt. They OCR'ed it (Quite poorly I might add), then they print it on demand.There are no stage directions. There is almost no punctuation in sentences (no commas, etc). There are numerous misspellings. It is nearly impossible to tell who is speaking as the names are misspelled, sometimes in all caps, sometimes not, sometimes indented. The Act and Scene divisions are almost nonexistent.I read about 5 pages of it before I gave up and got a photocopied version from my teacher. Complete waste of money. | 11 | [

1 | child's monkey costume-brown | i purchased this as a halloween costume for my son. he is 21 months old and weighs 33 pounds. the toddler 2-4 size fit perfect! last year, i had a hard time finding something that fit because i feel children's sizing is skewed as far as what age it's supposed to fit vs what age/size it actually fits! anyway, this fit great, fabric was soft, and my son enjoyed wearing it. however, the fabric snagged easily and after being worn several hours on halloween only, it now looks old and ragged, and we were only outside for about 5 minutes. the rest of the wear and tear took place while wearing it inside. i expected some wear and tear, but the fabric snagged so easily and it looks well-used far before i thought it would! somewhat disappointing, but when i didn't know the fabric style or quality, i didn't know what to expect.cute style, easy to put on a toddler, seemed to be comfortable. would purchase again!!! | 11 | [

1 | One Side-Track After Another | Doesn't go anywhere. One boring side-track after another. The characters are not that interesting. They sit in one situation per episode. No progress. Plenty of military weapons laying around, M2 .50 caliber machine guns, tanks ( why not start one up and use it? )etc... and they do not gather them. They keep themselves meagerly armed despite many opportunities to upscale their protection. Someone needs to pick up one of those M2 machine guns a mow down a heard of walkers. Then it would be more interesting. Budget issues? Poorly done. | 12 | [

1 | Not My Favorite | I was told this movie stayed true to the graphic novel. Maybe it did but I wouldn't know. I didn't read the novel. I was just interested in visual effects and the fact that it was a super hero movie. So I figured what the heck. My first clue should have been the fact that it was Rated R. Maybe I am a bit over sensitive but I was turned off by two things:1. Lack of a background about the super heroes. I would have liked to know more. It seemed compressed to me.2. Male frontal nudity in several scenes. I'd like someone to explain to me how that helped the plot/storyline.I saw this movie with a few friends who are less critical than I am and one of them asked afterwards if this movie warranted a "What The ----?". Which spoke volumes to me. All in all I guess the action and fight scenes were what made this arguably tolerable but everything else was a major disappointment. I did not enjoy this movie at all!!! | 15 | [

1 | Please wake me when the film is over | At the end of The Sweet Hereafter, I had tears in my eyes- tears of boredom. I would like to use this forum to point out the parts of the film that annoyed me. First of all, the incest scene is ridiculous. The young girl is not raped by her father, rather, they make love together. Candles? Why? It was like a scene out of a cheap romance novel. That scene actually made incest look sweet. The father looked like he was his daughter's age! Second, did anyone else notice that the bus driver had a Minnesotan accent while she drove the bus, but not any other time in the movie? Did the director forget about that? The book is a lot better than the movie, and the book isn't that great. The lawyer in the book is much more energetic, the incest is what it should be, dirty and immoral, and the scenes were drawn out way too much in the movie. Of course, what do I know? | 14 | [

1 | DVD/Audio CD ok but MP3 playback is bad | Hi,I just bought this DVD player last week and I was too excited to recieve my package. It didn't take me much time to hook the device to my TV and it was fully functional within 10 minutes. I started testing it with DVD and it ran fine (obviously). Then I switched to Audio CD, but unfortunately, it gave me 'disc error'. I insterted another Audio CD and it ran fine. Then I tested it with MP3 CD and it performed horribly. It stops at every MP3 song. Rarely played 2-3 songs from the list. So then I went through the manual for MP3 guidelines. It has so many limitations that I am totally disappointed by this player. Seriously advise buyers to first check its performance at best buy or circuit city and then decide.. | 11 | [

2 | A Book About Nothing | This is a book about nothing in the same respect as "Seinfeld" was a show about nothing. I found nothing particularly moving about the main character Murray Tepper and his quirks. However, the story is an entertaining jab at the government and spoils system like the one that has become evident in Washington.Tepper isn't going out. If he is going to have to pay for parking, he should get his money's worth. This simple philosophy of life attracts complete strangers to him. While drawing the support of the populous for his stance, he ruffles the feathers of the mayor. This mayor will soon me seeking reelection but feels threatened by the lawlessness that Tepper represents. Unfortuantely for the mayor, Tepper has broken no law.At a certain point in the book, I could not sympathize with the main character. If you can't find parking, move out of the city. I know that's why I live outside the city. Still, the book has entertainment value. | 11 | [

2 | THE BEST PLAYSTATION GAME SO FAR... | This game is the absolute tops! The character you play as is Solid Snake. This game is not a Duke Nukem "shoot'em up". You start out with no weapons and have to use stealth and get around undetected...you acquire weapons as the game progresses. The graphics are phenomenal and the control is, pardon the obvious play on words, solid. The best part is the voice over acting! Unlike the rancid voices in Resident Evil, these voices are well done. Try RE and see if I am lying... MGS is a long game, but is highly addicting. The fights are great - especially Psycho Mantis and fighting Meatal Gear Rex itself. Of all the Playstation games, this one everyone must own! Try it; you'll like it. | 11 | [

1 | A list of things that are better than this movie: | 1.) Root canals2.) Rectal exams3a.) Paying taxes3b.) Getting audited4.) Rush hour traffic5.) 18-hour work days6.) Benign tumours7.) The ex-wife's lawyerI could go on. My 8-year-old nephew was watching this movie, and halfway through he turned to be with a wrinkled face and said, "This movie sucks." No kidding. Even an 8-year-old can understand the difference between good parody and bad pardody. I told him when he got older we would watch some Zucker Brothers movies together. That's the only reason why I saw this movie, in case you're wondering...because of the kid. I was in the room. I took a peak. I was going to tell my sister what her son was watching, but the boy didn't seem all that interested in pursuing this pile of tripe till the end. Besides, I figured it was a good life lesson for him: sometimes, experiences are painful. | 18 | [

2 | It takes flight well. It just doesn't stay there. | The first movie is a classic. I was impressed. So many stories within, and yet they blend together incredibly well. This movie deserves to be in everyone's collection of films.The second film is also good. Not quite as great as the first one, but the tension is actually greater. This one seems to be less character-driven and more situation-driven. It also loses something in having Nancy stop piloting the plane as soon as Murdock gets onboard. He should have instructed her. It takes away too much from her character.The third film begins the decline. It's nowhere near as interesting as the first two. Not that it's a bad movie, it isn't, it's just that it seems to be lacking the force and masterpiece-level craftsmanship of the first two. However, it's worth watching alone just to see Brenda Vaccaro punch Lee Grant out to prevent her from killing everyone.The final movie is not even worth discussing. | 12 | [

1 | A little much... | I had high hopes for this book when I got it. I have alot of fears and thought it may help to read it. As a Christian, I thought the chapter on dreams was very odd. It actually says that all of our dreams are from God himself and if we have a dream we need to go back into that dream and analyze everything and talk to everything, including the lightbulb(That isn't a joke. It really says this) and ask, "Lightbulb, why are you in my dream?" According to them the bible talks of dreams and interpretations of dreams that God sent. I agree with that. But, I don't think every dream we have is necessarily one God is sending a message to us in. Most of us have had sinful dreams that I am sure God had nothing to do with. And, yes, in the bible times people had their dreams interpreted, but they didn't interpret them by themselves by talking to things in the dream. There was usually someone with the gift of interpreting. Anyways, this book was strange to me. | 12 | [

2 | Excellent Product, Outstanding Value | My wife and I have generally bought Sharpie brand permanent markers, but this set caught our attention. First, we liked the broad spectrum of colors. Second, the built-in storage case looked handy. We have been using the markers for several months now, and we LOVE them. The colors are true/accurate, the line is fine (but not too fine), and the quality of the markers is every bit of what we have found with Sharpie markers. The handy carrying case for the markers not only makes it easy to see all of your colors, but it makes storing the markers simple. We have 3 little ones at home, and we don't want permanent markers lying around. With this case, we just click it shut and toss it in the closet. Last, but not least, the value of this set is incredible. The Amazon price on a per-marker basis is much more economical than the cost of Sharpie markers. I don't think you can go wrong with this excellent product. | 11 | [

1 | ew | This was probably one of the worst books I have read thus far in my existence. Wow. There was ABSOLUTELY NO PLOT. Many of the people I collaborated with while reading this book said, "well life is a plot, isn't it?" NO IT'S NOT. LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE. Why does anyone need to waste their time with this travesty of a story? Magical realism is the worst writing style I can imagine. One of the main principles of magical realism is that time is nothing. But I doubt you would say that as in the time that you can read this book, which is quite a while considering there is random rambling for around 400 pages, you could have done every chore imaginable that you need done in your house, and saved the world three times. Either something was lost in translation from spanish to english, or this was the most poorly written book in the history of fiction...or anything. | 11 | [

1 | Barbara's Review | The book was ok. It wasn't the best though. It was kind of boring.Sarah and her mother have moved to Pine Crest. Her mother's boyfriend has a daughter who Sarah doesn't really like. Sarah is a fortuneteller in the Halloween Festival and actually sees something in the glass paperweight. Then what she sees really happens! She gets totally creped out. Eric thinks it would be cool to open a fortunetelling booth to make a little money. Soon people start to think that she's a witch. First she finds a picture of a gallows. Then she finds a dead crow! In her locker! Is she really a witch? What will happen to her?The type of person who would like this book is someone who is interested in witch hunting. That is mainly all they talk about nearer to the end of the book. | 15 | [

This phone is a decent value considering what our dollar is worth today. This same phone is offered at one of the local department stores for $15.00. I purchased this phone as a backup when the power goes down and is kept nearby the phone plug. I do not know how long this phone would last if used on a regular basis but if used this way I would not get one if kids will use it all the time. It does not appear to be that sturdy. A few drops on a hard surface may do it in. That is just my opinion however. I do not plan to test it that way to find out.This phone is NOT the quality of the old Slimline phones of days gone by. They are no longer made. If you wish to acquire one, I have seen several used ones on Ebay for $25. and up. | 13 | [

1 | this band is horribly unoriginal | i decided to try listening to this album to see if it was any better than it's horrific first single. i notice that sometimes happens.not in this case. this entire album belongs on pop radio. not to say that only bad music is on pop radio (most of it's bad, though), but this is typical, run of the mill nu-metal that is WAY too over produced and way too...boring. you've heard this before elsewhere, and done better. and oh my god, lyrical content. the lyrics are your typical "i have all this pain inside" (i don't know if he actually says that) type lyrics that you'd expect from this type of band.final verdict: stay away from this, and buy something a little different. take one of the past reviewers advice and buy some radiohead or tool. shoot, korn is more original than this. don't buy this. please. | 11 | [

2 | YOU HAVE TO GET THIS ONE!!! | My husband and I got this as a gift for Christmas and let me tell you , the days of microwave hotdogs and mac and cheese are over! This is wonderfull. bye bye cereal too.. We cook every meal on it. It's easy to clean too, just wipe it down with a cold wet rag after you are done cooking and it cools just a bit. It does get ALL the grease out of the food too. I did steak kabobs last night with pineapple, peppers, onion and steak, it did wonderful on this grill. Breakfast is a sinch you can make everyones favorite all at once. There are 5 of us and we all like different things . You can do it all on this grill/griddle. It is rather large , but we have a pint size kitchen I just did some rearranging on my limited counter space.. I need that thing handy ! no more pots and pans... It does grilled veggies and fish wonderfully too! Just spray it with some pam and off you go. It heats up FAST! It is worth it if you want a grill/griddle that works good and feeds alot at once. | 16 | [

2 | People are way too hung up with price of the WSJ | Everyone seems upset to pay 14.99 a month for the wall Street journal. You really haven't broken down the cost per newspaper, per day! It's only 1.79 per issue! So, 14.99 a month really is not as bad as your all complaining! Remember it's taking the ease of having the paper on the road. I travel on planes loads and this will make one less thing to have to remember to cram into my already stuffed bags!! So, really the question is do you want to safe time recycling and the hassle of putting hold on your paper when you go on vacation or business trip?!I tried the sample version and was quiet happy with what I saw! I am more into the articles than anything else and thats what I get.In a simple nutshell.. If you travel tons for work, then the kindle version is the way to go, if you rarely travel, then print version is the way to go! Either way it's a good paper! | 11 | [

1 | Horribly written | This book reads like it was written by a 6th grader."Sounds almost like someone's trying to contact us via sonar," the captain of the Scorpion reported. "Pinging us. We're copying. Oh no!" he suddenly exclaimed. "We've got problems in the reactor."..."Evasive action!" the captain yelled."Sir the reactor's off-line," another voice was shouting in the background. "We don't--""Goddamnit" --the captain cut the other man off-- "get us out of here number one! Blow all tanks. Now!"There may be an interesting plot somewhere in here, but it is too poorly written to keep one's interest. The dialog is childish and full of cliches, technical details are both rare and incorrect, and imagery falls along the lines of "His rucksack was a large green pack."Don't waste your time or money. | 16 | [

2 | Great blues, songwriting, vocals, etc. | This was my first introduction to Chubby. (I thought this was his debut album?) Diverse music on this CD and lots of stuff that just sticks in her head - very catchy. Great lyrics with Popa. My all-time favorite is "Lookin' Back". If you're into Blues that's upbeat with a NYC attitude (whether you're a guitarist or a listener!) all of Popa's stuff is a must have. This CD is the best place to start. I read an editor's review on another retail site which said that Popa has a tendency to leans towards vulgar jokes and that he's become a distinctive bluesman against all of the odds. That is just not the case. This guy is unique, very talented, familiar with lots of styles and is very soulful. Chubby on... | 12 | [

2 | Great Glove and It didn't Break the Bank | 37 years old and just started playing softball with co-workers. All I had was the glove I used in little league. I wanted a much bigger glove but I wasn't going to pay a lot for it. Saw this same glove at KMart for about the same price but being that I'm left handed they didn't have any for me. Ordered from Amazon. The glove came quick. It was still in the box when I got to the ballpark. Used it right away and it felt great. No break-in required, plenty of padding in the palm, and just a great fit. Some reviewers complained about the straps ring breaking but I have adjusted my glove once and have never had to fidget with it again. I've played about 7 games with it now and have had about 4 practices with no problems at all. I'm just as entusiastic about the glove now as I was that first day I took it out of the box. | 12 | [

2 | The Firm was firm! | The case says that you will see a difference after 10 workouts. I can't wait to see. I am a somewhat active person. I am overweight. I like the fact that it is only 30 minutes because I have a family a job and I am a student. I had the bar and all I needed was the video. I bought it from Goodwill and it was like a brand new video. I had no trouble playing it. I usually don't stay on a program long enough to see results and I buy different products because I get bored. But with the reputation of the Firm I will stay on it. The instructors on the video are in good shape and they are older which I like. They have a person in the back that you can follow if you are a new bee. | 12 | [

2 | Love it, Love it, Love it!!! | Like many of the other reviewers here, I also had to buy an electric grill because of condo association rules. Seriously, this is almost better than a regular gas grill. Taste wise, it tastes grilled, really. Grill marks and all! I grill everything from steaks to shrimp. Heats up quickly, cools quickly. I have never grilled fish though, because unlike gas, i can't burn off the smell, and I'm too afraid to turn it all the way up. I usually cook at 350-400 degrees. Convenience wise, the only complaints are very minor. It does cool VERY quickly when you remove the lid, so you must be prepared and work quickly. It is a bit inconvenient that the lid must be completely removed to access the grill (usually resulting in me putting it on the ground.) Otherwise, I am so happy I have this grill. It is a great grill, alternative or not. | 13 | [

1 | Not worth it! | I have 2 of his previous CDs. He's wonderful. Saw him in the Blues Brothers movie and bought my first CD then. His music was amazing, voice unbelieveable from such a young man. With faith in hand I purchased this one. I listened once. Forced myself to listen again and gave up and gave it away. Terrible. I don't know what he did, or where he went with this music, but I can't go there. His 2 previous ones are well worth buying however. Don't let this one stop you from enjoying a really terrific performer. | 11 | [

1 | bad software, bad custom service | Bought one from CompUSA and installed it. Really feel bad, the uninstaller (v6.02) integrated in it doesn't work at all. After several times of installation and uninstall, I gave up. The custom service is ridiculous. There's a phone number, but it's not a 800 number so I have to make a long distance call. After several entries I was told I should call another number (long distance call to me again). This time I was told their office hour was before 4:30pm. So I have to use their 'smart' internet custom service, sent emails and wait. No response yet for almost a day by now.Fortunately I returned it to CompUSA and got a refund. A person worked there also thought this software was really bad and recommand me to buy a Norton. At least I won't buy any other product from McAfee. | 11 | [

1 | Scream 4 | This movie didn't even make me scream or jump just like the first, second or third one. Scream 4 was boring and it dragged in certain parts. I almost fell asleep. It was just plain disappointing and predictable. The franchise should of stopped at number three. What was Wes Craven thinking of? "Show Me The Money!" The movie brings back three of the original cast members from the trilogy . Neve Campbell(Sydney Prescott),Courtney Cox(Gale Weathers), and David Arquette(Officer Dewey Riley). Sydney is back in her home town of Westboro promoting her self help book. She is being stalked once again by Ghost face Killer. Wherever Sydney goes death happens. I'm so happy I just rented it. | 13 | [

2 | .......... | Am I listening to music or getting a glimpse of the whiter side of oblivion? Ambience at its most beautiful. Vanity given a soundtrack. That's what this is. Never since Tool has a band conjured up such intriguing imagery in my subconscious. This is real talent. Forget Yngwie Malmsteen, master of parlor tricks. Buy this....Your soul will thank you. And try to ignore the fact they got pigeonholed as black metal, that's just a term a certain magazine that's very high in popularity which shall remain nameless likes to use to poke fun at genres they don't understand.

1 | Not worth the Buy | This is a rather poor tribute compared to the first NIB album. That album was a decent listen. Every band there put their own spin and style into the songs. In contrast, many of the songs on NIB 2 are nearly copies of the originals classics. There are only a couple winners. The stand-out track on NIB 2 is Soulfly's take on "Under the Sun". I also like Busta Rhyme's version of "Iron Man" a lot despite the rest of the reviews here. Even if you don't like rap, you have to admit that he made a new-song out of the material unlike the rest of the "artists" on this album. Megadeth and Pantera both give good performances except their covers are barely distingishable from the originals! The rest of the tracks go from ok to terrible. You can skip this record. Instead, spend your cash on "NIB 1" for a good pop-metal disk or "Eternal Masters" for a great hard-core metal experience. | 12 | [

2 | What a Ride! | This is a superb work. I would rate it as right up there with Lord of the Rings. Somehow, the author has managed to weave magic into a sordid backdrop of a sort of ghetto slum. I would not have believed that would work, until I read this book. What stands out is the attention to detail. At no point are we left wondering about what a certain place would like, smell like and even feel like. So often, SF and Fantasy writers skip over these details in pursuit of a complex plot. But it is these details that make such a story feel so real. The point of novels like these is to transport the reader into another world, a sort of temporary escape from the humdrum. The author does this wonderfully. I cannot put this book down. | 11 | [

2 | Awesome movie | I loved this movie! The two actors were great and their emotions were convincing. You really feel for them. They should have hired these actors for the Sandy Hook performance, which wasn't convincing at all! Anyway... I'm very particular about movies and this one was well worth the time spent. The accents were a little hard to understand at the beginning of the movie and I found I couldn't understand what they were saying sometimes, but I'm glad I stuck with it and watched the movie throughout. So sad that the Irish kill each other. I feel for both sides. It's heartbreaking for sure. The Irish are a beautiful people but youth can do foolish things and this movie has a great message about that. I'm glad it ended well and both men found their peace. I don't want to give anything away but I would recommend anyone to watch the movie. | 13 | [

Ms. Jaffarian has really come into her own, and this book has a depth and width that was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Ran through it in three days!!! It was very clever, well written. I thought it was a great follow up to the first book, was very consistent. It was funny, clever, loved that Mike Steele. That is loved to hate him!!I highly recommend this book. If you are a lover of the mysterygenre, you'll love this. Not the same, but the flavor of Grafton or Evanovich. Thanks for reading. | 13 | [

1 | Where are the People? | I had heard that this "movie" was CGI, so it was not a surprise to me when I saw it. Still, I must say I was disappointed with it for the very reason that it was CGI. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I like real people, real actors, real sets and real action. Cartoons are fine for Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, but why for a movie like this? I don't get it. I can't help but think what the result would have been if Casablanca were a made as a CGI cartoon, or High Noon or Indiana Jones. Of course the story itself is a classic. So there is no fault with the material. I just don't particularly care for CGI for the characters or sets. It has it's place, to enhance some scenes, but as the main element - thank you No. I feel like I've been shorted on the real movie experience. | 11 | [

1 | Low-carb? Yes. But so is roadkill. | Upon eating this, I thought the package had spoiled. Reading the reviews AFTER I had purchased the item (D'oh!), I realized that this was a common phenomenon. Maybe it was just me, though. Who knows?So I offered the remaining packages to my sister. Her response: "This must be what poop tastes like."Pros: Nice looking packaging, small chunks of "jerky."Cons: Bad (bitter, not salty) flavor, horrible texture (soggy, moist; it's like biting into a band-aid).To all the reviewers praising the low sugar content and lack of carbs: this holds true with virtually all beef jerky. Wild Ride? Hardly. I'd rather chew on my shoe. | 11 | [

1 | One out of Four Ain't Bad? Is it? | Don't waste your money on this one. The only one worth reading is by MaryJanice Davidson. This book is 8 dollars and it is not worth 2.The anita story is so dumb, I am tired of all the weird boyfriends, not to mention girlfriends. Hamilton writes a good book, but her short stories are not so hot.Eileen Wilks is one author I have never read before. I did not care at all for the story. With a name like cravings and 3 good authors we should get at least 3 good stories.But Rebecca york even lets us down. I loved all the moon books. Witching Moon was my favorite. However, when they say a wolf mates for life, I thought he mated for his life. Obviously with this story we learn he mates for her life. I felt she let us down on this one.DEAD GIRLS DON'T DANCE is funny and gives us a glimpse of her next book. UNDEAD AND UNEMPLOYED. So for my part MaryJanice Davidson is still a good read. | 13 | [

1 | What happened? | I have been along time fan of the Suicide Machines, going to thier shows as often as I can and buying their albums. But this album shocked the hell out of me. They've changed their sound alot. Not the usual punk/ska sound but like any other band that you here on the radio. But the album got its perks. I love the last song of a remake of "I never promised you a Rose Garden"(I think that what it is called)It got everything that I liked about the Suicide Machines. Ska riffs turned into the punk side with an orcstrated background. I suggest that if your looking for the Suicide Machines, try looking for older albums like the Suicide Machines split with the Rudiments or "Pave the World" with the Blue Meanies and others.(Pave the World actually looks like an Blue Meanies album, but the Suicide Machines are on their but they are also know back then as Jack Kavorkian and the Suicide Machines.) If your a Suicide Machine fan, support them. I always have but sometimes these things happen. | 11 | [

2 | Brilliant | I bought Sehnsucht first, and liked that, then got Herzeleid. I started out liking Sehnsucht first, then reverted to the darker sound of Herzeleid. I hung out for Mutter and finally got it, and to be completely honest I haven't played Herzeleid since.This album is stunning. It is art. It is poetic in its compexity and eclecticism. It destroys all perspective and draws you in. Rammstein have dropped the almost techno like pop sound of Sehnsucht for a more varied and beautiful opus.Mein Herz brennt is first off the mark, a sweeping, driving, velvety display of their growing talent. Bonus points for the orchestra - it creates an awesome atmospheric effect. Ich will addictive in its arrogant, blatant disregard. A very sexy track. Mutter is both beautiful and gratifyingly funny. Spieluhr is the catchiest tune here, put together very nicely. The album closes with a haunting poem, Nebel, which leaves you mytified and wondering.In short: get this or miss out. | 13 | [

2 | Another Last Songs for your collection. | Previn is understandably proud of his Strauss recordings. This recording includes Ein Heldenlaben and it compares favorably with the famous Reiner/CSO album from the '50's. The real show stopper here is the Songs, and I'm sure it'll be compared with the Karajan/Janowitz performance. For one thing,Auger's voice isn't as powerful(Some people call it "creamy",whatever that is.)as Janowitz's. Auger's voice has a more tender, human quality that's a pleasure to hear. For another,Previn's tempos are different than Karajan's. Im Adendrot,for instance,is a full minute slower than Karajan's But, you're gonna love that extra minute! It's truly majestic. The recorded sound is up to Telarc's high standard. There's something about it that makes you want to TURN IT UP. I'm not trading in my Karajan CD,but this one stays as well. | 12 | [

1 | DID NOT WORK | After reading a couple reviews i thought i would try this ethernet spliter to see if it would work for my PC and nephews XBOX. Did not work at all. works only if you have one connection ( PC )hooked in. as soon as you connect a second ethernet cable it shuts off internet connecetion. I even tried one review on using 2 splitters to get 2 different connections. DID NOT WORK! it was worth a try at first BUT after trying so many different ways to try to get it to work ; i just gave up. The supplier for these splitters was great on delivery but the splitters themselves were not worth the money. if you think you might get it to work like I did. the go ahead and try. just dont be so disapointed when they dont work... | 11 | [

1 | First, you only get 1, not 4. Second, the 1 you get will be broken | We tried 3 times to get this right. I can't believe it's still being sold on Amazon. We ordered this set of 4, and 1 came in the mail, and the stem was broken. We called Amazon and were told they would refund our money and to re-buy it, since the website says 4, we would get 4. We ordered it again, and 1 came in, and the stem was broken AGAIN. We again called Amazon and they couldn't figure it out. They placed another order on their end and put in the memo field to the packer to include 4 pieces. Guess what, 1 came in the mail and the stem was broken again. The ship these in a bag, not a box. It was the worst experience trying to get the order right, which it never was. Stay far far away from these stupid trinket tops. | 11 | [

1 | Kan throw your money down the drain! | Be really careful of this one! We have been using the wipes for a few months and just this week we had a back log in the toilet. I was thinking maybe something else had happened and then the poor bowl couldn't take it anymore. The cost of the drain clearing was more then $150 USD! We came out with a grocery bag of kandoo wipes. I have only used 3 packs! I didn't flush more then the recomended amount and the backup happened at the end of our private line. If this is what they do at the end of three packs and a month or two, I can only imagine what happens to other people!Kandoo will be getting a bill from our home. Don't let it happen to yours!The product was a great idea for our son who was training. The marketing was perfect and we liked the orange packs scent. But overall with the misrepresentation of the product I have to flush this product down the drain....Ooops forgot, they don't flush! | 11 | [

2 | Hm... | I would review this CD by saying that it put me in a droll funk. Cool.I always wondered what that would be like. Now I know. Papa M's got the power.Tres Cool, and so forth. What is specially impressive about him, to me, is that he does what I want to do, and in so doing, I think, he provides something for me to relate to. Not that all of my relationships and friendships end in revenge, mistrust or misery. But it's a nice catharsis (for me) to think that they have. Hallelujah. Rock on, Mr. Pajo. Or strumm on, at least.And by the way, the numbered singles and "Three Songs" are, in my opinion, the best. So if you've got a hankerin' for some down-in-the-dumps weird-o folk music(Black is the Colour, Rainbow of Gloom, Red Curtains, Long May you Burn), or rocking power-driven sountrack anthems (O Kentucky, Local Boy makes Good) get those! | 11 | [

Watch those grounds tumble to the floor when the basket falls off!3. Mouth into water reservoir too small.4. 3 rubber legs are not same height as fourth plastic leg, so the thing wobbles.5. Pour spout on carafe too small; easy to overpour and spill.6. Measure markers on carafe don't match those on reservoir. The "5-cup" business is a lie, as the markers are just closer together so one cup equals less!I keep this thing around because its numerous annoying features wake me up in the morning.

1 | Don't waste your money or time...go with the Hoover! | We bought the Bissell ProHeat thinking it would be great. The first problem is the tank in tank storage. The seal on the bottom broke within the first month we had it. After contacting Bissell they informed me that I could buy a new tank for $17. I bought that and it was leaking after 2 months. Not to mention that the tank is hard to empty and get fully clean. There was always dirt and junk left in the tank!! About that time I started noticing that the machine was leaving pieces of black plastic on the carpet. The machine was chewing up it's own gears and not doing a thing for my carpet. We have white carpet, a naughty dog, and a one year old child so we are very dependant on our steam cleaner. We ditched the Bissell and purchased a Hoover. I am more than pleased with the new machine. It is easy to use, easy to clean, stays clean, and gets our carpet cleaner than the Bissell ProHeat ever did. I would never consider a Bissell product again! | 14 | [

1 | Almost a TORTURE to read | I found this book hidden in my basement. The book started badly and ended even worse. As I was reading, I kept wishing that it would get better but it never did. However, this is a good book for quick reading on the subway or bus. It is extremely shallow and does not require much thinking. It reminds me of a poorly written Harlequin. In fact, some Harlequins may even be better.The author attempts to tackle modern day issues but failed miserably. Her views in life is limited and unrealistic. The characters lacked depth - every character was vain and sex crazed. Her constant description of how beautiful the heroin was and the tight clothing she wore got annoying. The sex scenes are repetitive to an extent where it appears that the same words are used. The setting of Shanghai appears to be irrelevant and misrepresented in many ways.I give this book 2 stars. Why? I made it through the book and got a party idea from it. | 14 | [

1 | Great for the first two weeks... | Excited to get this toothbrush at such a good price. It worked really well the first couple of weeks (it remained on the charger per instructions when not in use). Took it on a several-day trip with me, sans charger, as manual indicates it holds about a two week charge for normal use. Used twice on the trip and then, went to use it a third time... zip, zilch, nada. Completely dead. Put it on charger when I got home. Still no signs of life. Fini. When I first received this unit, I noticed there didn't seem to be any waterproofing where the brush head meets the handle, so perhaps it is a design flaw or simply bum luck.I've switched to zee German-madeOral-B Professional Care SmartSeries 5000 Electric Rechargeable Power Toothbrush 1 Count. MUCH more money, but great reviews. And hey, Germans know how to make durable, lasting stuff. | 11 | [

1 | useless chinese junk | Power Bright VC1500W Voltage Transformer 1500 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt. It was DOA. I looked around and found that fuse cap was missing. Yes it has a fuse holder with a screw type cap. When I looked inside the package I found the cap along with fuse. I tried to put it back in place. That's when I realized there is no thread at all on both sides (cap and the body), no kidding if possible I'll post photos. That shows that this piece of junk was never tested. I know how to fix that but didn't wanted to, because if I open it up and fix it and if there are any other problems then I can't even return it. So decided to return it. Amazon gave me a return shipping label. The only hazzle was to pack it again and drop it at the post office. So do I recommend buying this? definitely not. | 14 | [

1 | Does't Work with a Mobile Device | I got this device so I could control power outlets with my Android Smartphone. The whole basis for buying this much more expensive product over a regular power strip is that this one can be managed from a web browser. Not only is the web interface poor on this product, but it doesn't work on mobile devices. The cyber power device does not correctly implement simple authentication!! Wow! So you can't even log in on a mobile device, it just keeps asking you for the password over and over again. Even more frustrating was that I didn't even care about security! I have my own firewalls that protect from outside intruders. But the cyber power device doesn't let you disable that either. Shocking considering the high price tag...$230+. A mobile device is only a natural fit for this device and the fact it doesn't work is an epic fail in my opinion. Returned. | 12 | [

1 | Not very effective | We have a very furry golden retriever. She sheds a lot. We also have a first floor which is all oak flooring. To keep the fur from becoming tumble weeds, we need to sweep everyday. It is tough to sweep under furniture well.We have an Oreck vacuum, which is corded, and loud. The Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo looked like a great alternative to the vacuum and sweeping. Seems like it could reach under furniture and easily clean stairs.The Bissell works, but not very well. We only use it on oak floors. It really doesn't pick all our pup's fur. It has a very small compartment that the pet hair and dust fill. Once you have used the Bissell, it never seems clean again.It wasn't expensive, at all, so I'm not upset. I just can't recommend it. | 12 | [

1 | Defective, cheaply made product--Times two! | What a great idea though. Just lousy execution. Headphones fit like wearing your left shoe on your right foot. I could have lived with that, since I was just going to use them for 45 minutes at a time at the gym, but after I charged it and set it up, there was only sound from one earpiece! Called Nextar cust svc, they said it was defective. So I sent it back to J&R and asked for a replacement (because I really, really, hate how my MP3 wires get tangled in my gym bag). So the good folks at J&R send me a brand-new replacement and I'm very excited. Charge and set up, then find that on/off button is broken (i.e., no way to turn it on or listen to ANYTHING). Could be because the product is very (I mean VERY) cheaply made. Well, you get what you pay for. Returning to J&R for a refund. Too bad. | 12 | [

1 | Cheap clock, nice vibrating part | Pros:1. The vibration part works wellCons:1. Power cord is too short for a king-size bed with outlet centered and bedside table. It needs to be another foot or two longer. I had to use an extension cord.2. The clock is horrible. Setting time is the laborious hold the hour or minute button down and watch it slowly scroll from 1 to whatever number you need. C'mon, man! That was good for first generation digital clocks, but give us at least +/- and faster speed as the button is held down. Sheesh.3. The button for turning off the alarm is too small to quickly find and push when waking up.4. The light is not dimmable, and is too bright.5. The volume control is a joke. Pathetic. | 14 | [

2 | Give this book to anybody and they'll understand computers | Everybody needs to give this book to those people who can't/refuse to learn about computers. I know it's designed for the exams, but don't let that keep you from buying it. Here's why: We're installing a network at my job. I don't work with the computers, but I really wanted to understand what was going on so I wouldn't feel like a dummy when the "techies" were talking to me. I bought two of those big computer books, because I figured a big book would give me all the answers. Wrong. Then Dr. Joe gave me this book to read. Wow! What a difference. It was like somebody finally "turned on the light." This Windows 98 book is so easy to read! And there is so much packed into this small book (compared to those others.) I've read it once and actually gone back to some of the tougher concepts to re-read. But the point is...I'm getting it!!! Thanks! | 15 | [

1 | electronics nut from Aurora, ILL. | reception on vhf is very poor. unf reception is excellent. unit does have tv mts sound pickup which sounds great!! one large problem is unit uses 4 inch lcd screen placed behind a 3.25" non-removable black front trimplate. trimplate screen is old fashioned round window (see picture on web site)which cuts your viewing off on all sides and corners of the 4" lcd picture. unit is really 3.25" not 4" viewing screen. cable tuning is not available. operates on 6 'c' batteries or ac. sound is the best on any lcd tv i have ever heard!! stereo headphone jack input is available. If plugging in ext antenna, picture is ok on vhf. also color, tint, or contact controls are not adjustable. color was ok but tint was very slightly on the green side. brightness is adjustable. nice audio touch, cable tuning needed. returning item to amazon for refund. | 16 | [

1 | Embarrassingly Bad | Wow. This might be the worst DVD I have ever seen. It's nothing more than a couple of kids running around with a shoulder mounted camera, ogling Ferraris. The footage is abominable and consists mostly of the cameraman hanging out of a convertible BMW while a Ferrari drives past him, then slows down and drives past him again. And again. And again. It's edited with amateurish transitions that would make your mom's birthday video look professional, and there are exclamations like: "Damn!" and "That's one bad-a** car!" The occasional voice overs are truly hilarious, with dramatic (and usually incorrect) comments such as: "The F40 is the world's first street-legal Formula One car." Whaaaaa?!! I actually felt bad for the one or two legitimate experts they "interview" because those guys are left valiantly trying to look professional and serious in what ultimately comes off like a glorified You Tube video shot by high schoolers. DO NOT BUY THIS VIDEO. Trust me. | 13 | [

2 | Surprising depth | This group and their fans have high expectations for theirdebut album ...; One might expect cookie cutter music given theirtitle of a "boy band." However, the cd was well made and hasa little bit of everything for everyone. "Liquid Dreams,"the first single, established the fact that the album was not going tobe filled with saccharine sweet ballads that have typified many boybands. "Every 6 Seconds" is very catchy uptempo song, withedge and bite. "Love Should Be A Crime" is more of a 80'seasy listening type of song. It might be something you might hearon...; with its lyrics. "All or Nothing" might be the cd'srequisite ballad, which isn't too saccharine when compared to ...songs. Overall, this album is surprising balanced and has depth thatis not found in other boy band's debut album. O-town has potential tobecome more than a generic boy band with the depth they have shownthus far. This album will surprise most cynic listeners, but willplease fans. END | 11 | [

2 | My son loved it, but it could be a little more durable | My son received this walker as a gift. He loved it from day one. He would walk up and down the sidewalks in our community and wave at people like he was in a parade. I think it would be perfect with a few improvements: 1) It could be more durable. One of the wheels would repeatedly fall off. My husband would use some wood glue to put it back on, and it would still work fine - but that should not happen. 2) I would like to see the handle bar be adjustable for height. My son is in the 75-95 percentile for height. He had to hunch over a bit to really use this well and I worried about him falling forward and hitting his face on the walker or the cement, so we kept a close eye on him. But, I credit the walker with really helping his development. I would recommend it. | 11 | [
