2 | Great vacuum | I love my Dyson! I have had it for 3 years and am very happy with it. It has held up extremely well and gets a lot of use. It really picks up a lot of stuff. I am emptying the cannister almost every two weeks. The cannister is extremely easy to empty. Not at all like a previous bagless we had that was just horrible to empty. We have a cat and it picks up tons of cat hair. I though twice about the hefty price tag, but considering how well it has held up and how easy it is to use I find it to be worth the price. I use the vacuum cleaner on my rugs and hardwood floors. I use the hose and brush attachment very much and find the hose to work well on cleaning area rugs. I also use the hose and brush to clean my blinds and drapes. The hose is extremely durable. After 3 years it is still as good as new. The vaccum is a bit on the heavy side, but it really doesn't bother me. I highly recoomend this vaccum. | 16 | [

1 | What the...? | Was this a horror? Was this a comedy? Was this a statement against violence in movies? It sure wasn't a worthy sequel to the original BWP. It didn't capture any of the same mood, wasn't consistent at all with any of the atmosphere in the first movie, and sure as heCK didn't capture any of the pure terror that was so evident in the first movie. So what does this film do? It might keep you guessing as to when there's a scare, but there aren't any scares. It might try and make you care about the characters, but none of them are worth the viewer's time. It might attempt to get you sucked into a plot that is never explained and completely shot to heCK by the terrible ending. The beginning of the film is however an excellent piece of filmmaking, the rest though is just crap. Stick with Metallica Some Kind of Monster for a good Joe Berlinger movie. This movie is not worth it. | 12 | [

1 | HORRIBLE! DO NOT BUY! | Look elsewhere for dvd cases. I'm not sure why the one's I got are so bad and the one's other people review differ. Can it be that there are fake reviews? Or some boxes have bad cases and work?As we opened the case, the plastic broke rather than the case opening. Simple fault. They break. I tried 4; 3 broke. The wife tried one, it broke.I know the defect is caused by contaminated plastic or a bad plastic mix (I'm an engineer). Of four I tried, three broke immediately. I did note that the shell is thin but if the plastic was molded correctly, if the plastic was not contaminated, these should work. At least for a couple years. The plastic is so thin I do not think it would split as you open the case to get a dvd. I've seen similar looking cases at Walmart but those were thicker, stronger, and did not not break.Already printed a return label. | 13 | [

1 | Jazz DIVA? | ...please...I really hesitate to even use that word in the same sentence as Diana Krall. She's probably the most overrated jazz vocalist there is out there. Yes, she can play the piano, but we hardly hear it on this CD at all! Singing is rugged and lazy sounding, nonchalant, and the piano playing is so sparse...what's the point of even having it on this CD? It really appears as if she's wanting her "looks" to make up for her short-comings as an "artist". That's what it looks like. Probably just a marketer trying to make a buck. I personally think it's cheesy all the way round. These songs she does on "when I look...", she has this habit of trying to be reinventive by singing all the balads in a moderate tempo and all the moderate tempo songs as ballads to make it sound refreshing or something. Her style is nothing short of predictable and trite. Disappointing and a waste of my time. Sorry, I'm not impressed with her. | 12 | [

1 | Do not waste your money - bad product - no warranty help | I fell for it, bought a large set back in 1999. Three products lost the surface coats, the handle on a fourth broke off half way down - not at the joint next to the pan. Company did replace pans/pots with the new and improved a couple years ago. New and improved is worse than before. Gets a scumming black coating no matter what you do. Company must have lost a lot of money - no longer honors warranty.Worse yet, I bought a Scanpan lid which fractured into tiny pieces in a 325 degree oven. Nothing burned. Juice from the roast still in the pan. Dangerous. Even though the lid had no warranty, I thought I would email them with pictures thinking they both needed to know the health risk and possibly replace under the circumstances. No response at all.Next stop is Consumer Reports - cannot believe the high ratings there - which is why I bought it. | 11 | [

1 | terribly disapointed | I greatly enjoyed this book, but found almost no similarities between it and this movie. The plot was completely wrong. Prince Caspian is described as a child in the book. His uncle speaks to him as though he were a small child, certainly not a young man. Aslan is very minor in the movie, which takes all the power right out of it. All the battle scenes are ridiculous. They changed almost everything important. The only thing they were on target with is they capture the essence of reepacheep perfectly, but other than that this movie is a huge waste of time, if you love c.s. lewis. Maybe you would like it if you never read the book. But honestly the book is much more interesting | 11 | [

1 | worst video EVER!!! | one word: worthless. i tried it once and will never use it again. i recommend any of the Self magazine videos over the Shape magazine videos.here are my complaints:1. didn't get a workout. spent more time replaying scenes trying to figure out foot and body placement. didn't break a sweat.2. felt like a tool trying to do the moves and learn the steps. not for the uncoordinated, like myself. more for a wannabe britney spears background dancers.3. annoying and overly peppy to the point of embarrassing. let's put it this way: my boyfriend was in the other room as i was "attempting" to do the video in the living room and could not contain his laughter hearing some of the strange catch-phrases the instructor kept yelling out. it was demoralizing and pointless. | 11 | [

2 | Great sound, Power, Expandable memory | I have used I river H10 and Zen V plus and the sound is far superior for the cowon d2. This is especially so when the custom equalizer option is used. The custom equalizer seams to distort the sound for I river H10 and Zen V plus. The cowon is also superior because it can connect to the computer with mtp or generic external protocol.3/14/2009 update;Touch screen works great. Unlike the others this one has lots of power to drive any headphones. Great user programable equalizer. Very long lasting battery. Expandable memory. Can be used as external data storage. Too many great things to list. Very highly recomended. | 11 | [

2 | Slayers Is For Otaku Everywhere | The movie itself was the best of the four Slayers movies that I've seen. It has plot, good character development for Naga and Lina and overall everything that is to be expected of Slayers except for one thing. That is consistancy in subtitling between Software Sculptors and ADV Films. For instance, Explosion Array is actually called (gasp) Dill Brand. How does ADV plan to explain how the spell Mega Brand is not translated as Mega Explosion Array? They can't. Furthermore, Gaav Flare is not Guard Flair. Gaav is one of the primary antagonists in Slayers NEXT. ADV would have known this if they had watched the original series, but apparently they didn't. In the end, I believe this movie deserves 5 stars. It has everything that a good comedic anime film should have and more. Unfortunately, because of how much the bad subtitling bothered me, I only gave it four stars. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the original Slayers, but only if bad subtitling doesn't bother you. | 13 | [

1 | Features wireless IR remote - but breaks easily | My son got this a year ago for his 6th birthday. He's very careful, smart & follows instructions well. The robot was fairly disappointing. Most kids will lose interest with it if they only build the guy on the box.Not one to worry, we used the parts with our other G!G!G! sets to make all kinds of wonderful things. He's been using the motorized base, which only goes back and forth, to power all sorts of contraptions that don't necessarily "roll." But today he dropped it a very short fall, and the antenna/IR receiver snapped.I came to look for parts or to replace - as I said he is extremely good with his toys. However, I can't see buying another whole kit, and this easily broken base isn't available on its own. This is the ONLY G!G!G! set we have that has a WIRELESS remote. The others have wired ones.It's not a toy for most. | 11 | [

2 | I like it very much | I have many Casio Watches. This is a nice looking simple and elegant watch. Enough features. Good finishing. It isn't expensive. So, I tried to put the watch face down on my book and rotated and dragged it with slight pressure. The crystal got scratched very easily. They are not easily visible. They are fine scratches. But I know where they are. Bottom line, crystal gets scratched easily. So, just be cautious with that and you'll do just fine. Watch looks elegant. I like it very much. | 14 | [

2 | Best Trina Album Hands Down! | This album is better than I expected. I'm a long time fan of Trina's and when I saw she had 13 songs, I figured I would be somewhat disapointing. So I bought it anyway to support Trina. I was wrong! This is her best work yet. There's no filler tracks, because each track has something new to offer. The replay value of this is incredible. When I heard the first song, and she said "I'm Back B!tches" and just tore it up.. I knew I was in store for Trina's best work. Please don't turn your shoulder at Trina, this truly is an album to remember. I reccommend this to all who love Trina..and even to those who hate her. The True Queen of the South is back! | 12 | [

2 | Nice Ocarina | I really liked the look of this ocarina online. I bought it for my daughter for Christmas. She loves Zelda and has been wanting one of these for a while now. When I received it, of course I opened it to examine it. Its really nice and looks like good quality, but I am disappointed its black. On the picture it looked liked it was gonna be kinda bluish/green. Maybe that was cause its a picture? IDK...But u should state somewhere on the page that its black (unless they come in various colors and I just ended up with a black one). But other then that. It was packed well and was shipped quickly and I received all the items that was described. Just wish it wasn't black. Hopefully she won't mind the color, and I'm just being anal...:) I would of gave it 5 stars if it wasn't for the color. But if it wasn't for that...5 Stars... | 13 | [

2 | I Was There! | I was at this show. ABB was the opening act. No one was aware of the Borthers except for people from the Macon area. The opening intro was something to the effect of "Here's a band whose first albumm has just come out. They are from just up the road in Macon. Welcome the Allman Brothers Band!" It took about two second of "Statesboro Blues" for 500,000 people to realize there was something special going on. I saw a lot of great acts including B.B. King, Hendrix, Ten Years After, but this was the only band whose album I bought when I got back to the University of Tennessee. I have been an ABB addict ever since and have seen them at least 15 times. This album is awesome! Now three of those shows are out on CD, the Stoney Brook Show, Fillmore East and this one. | 12 | [

1 | worst purchase | You can fit a couple lenses and a camera body and a few accessories in it. That is fine. But the material is stiff and unyielding. Putting things in and taking things out of this bag is a nightmare. The pockets are small, as they should be for a bag that is low profile and compact. But when I reach my fingers in the pockets to retrieve items the zippers scratch up my hands. I have small hands and simply taking out something as small as a rear lens cap is a big headache. I cannot stress how much I hate this bag. I never use it. It is good for transporting your stuff if you don't want a bulky bag to carry around. But I don't recommend it for using on a shoot because you will be fighting with it for your stuff the whole time. | 11 | [

2 | A Christian Classic on Oneness Theology | I have just finished reading this text by Edward Dalcour on Oneness Theology. In this book, Mr. Dalcour defines the biblical doctrine of the Holy Trinity. He also defines the Oneness view in both historical context and today's version of modalism. His exegesis of the Holy writ is that of a scholar, his passion is that of someone who loves Truth, and wants that share with others. So many great features of this book. Mr. Dalcour looks at the great church fathers, on their view of the Godhead, which was the Trinity. Mr. Dalcour also refutes the main man in Oneness pentecostal today, David Bernard. In the end, this book not only defines oneness theology, but teaches you the Trinity. It is two books in one if you will. The last chapter contains something about the Trinity, about how to discuss the Trinity and show Christians that when they first believe in Jesus, they belived in the Trinity. A Classic indeed.Great Work Mr. Dalcour. | 11 | [

1 | Army Men: Operation Annihilation Review from a disappointed gamer | I bought Army Men: Operation Annihilation about a year ago. It was a bad choice. This game is very decieving. It may seem fun and gripping the first time you play it, but after that it gets really dull. The music gets extremely annoying, the graphics become horrible, the game and the plot become very unrealistic, the gameplay gets immpossible and the whole game just loses it's magic. If you buy this game you will be making a mistake. Don't make your descision on reviews that say that this game is good. It isn't. It's terrible. You would really regret wasting your money on this. Don't make my mistake! | 11 | [

2 | 2nd time around | I first had a copy of this field guide when I was groundskeeping at a University. I didn't know the various thistles, much less how to treat or eradicate them. With a name to start out with, I could get the job done. These days, I volunteer at Parks, most of which, due to budget cuts, are really hurting in the weed department. So, some I now know. Some I have no idea. You learn as you go along. I want this book along with me, to be that first critical step in ID. The rest of the info is all on the Internet anyways. I do wish there were more species. I do like the range maps included, so as you can figure if it's likely that you have a given weed in front of you or not.Molly McCarty | 11 | [

2 | wow | this game is one of the best fighting games i've ever seen. i've played this at the arcade and thought it was amazing. the graphics are so good and the fighting moves are very well done. my favorite thing about this game that makes it unique is that every character yields some sort of weapon. i don't know how the playstation 2 version is going to be like since they are adding a couple of new features and a new character. the new character is going to be heihachi from tekken. i don't really know how he's going to fight since he doesn't have a weapon...????...he has wristguards...well, that doesn't matter. soul calibur 2 is a great game and i can't wait for it to come out on the PS2.***just a note: for the gamecube version the new character will be LINK from the legend of zelda and for the X-box, the new character will be SPAWN.*** | 11 | [

2 | Easy setup and flawless operation | This HDTV receiver looks great and is nice and compact. The user interface is very easy to navigate. Setup is quick and easy. Auto program of over the air channels took about a minute. I have it connected to a UHF/VHF antenna with preamp mounted in the attic. This receiver found 25 DTV channels, some as far away as Baltimore (I'm in Northern Virginia, so about 50 miles away).The remote is simple and easy to use. My only gripe with the remote is it cannot be programmed to control the tv (not universal). Not a big deal though. No problems with boot up time or lag time while switching channels. I have the receiver connected to my Toshiba LCD HDTV via an HDMI -> DVI cable. Picture quality is as good as it was on Verizon Fios, better if you consider that OTA is free! | 11 | [

1 | Should be called GRIDDLE-2-GO | I saw this grill at Home Depot when this it first came out and had to buy it that day. I loved the look and the portability. When I went to use it, I found it didn't get hot. I called the manufacturer and they immediately sent me a new regualtor. Tried that one and it didn't make a difference. I sent the regulator back to the manufucaturer and asked them to test it, which they did and said it was fine. Within a week, I returned my grill to Home Depot.BOTTOM LINE - This is better designed for making pancakes and omelettes than it is for grilling steaks and burgers. The "George Forman" design doesn't cut it for someone who wants a "real" BBQ grill. It is bad enough that I have to sacrifice charcoal to get the ease of portability and cleanliness.I just bought a Weber Q grill. I haven't used it yet, but the BTU output and the open flame seems like it cures the problem. Check out reviews of that grill before you make a decision. | 11 | [

2 | Poor Marilyn | I purchased this because I like Ashley Judd. It was a simple reason to buy this, but after I saw this film, I impressed about Marilyn Monroe. It is worth to possess, especially if you like Ashley Judd. She performed very well, better than other films. In this film, she was little bit chubby, but I like her very much. She is pretty and her acting always good especially in this film. Her performance was much better than Mira Sorvino was. Mira¡s acting makes Marilyn to seem to be stupid. It was very embarrassing. I had not known well about Marilyn Monroe before I saw this film. She lived in obscurity in all her life and died when she was 36 years old. Some people said she was just a stupid sexy movie star. However, this film made me to understand her. She was a human being who wants to live a happy life just like ordinary people. Anyway, it is a good work. | 15 | [

1 | This book doesn't seem true to the original | Don't like it. Don't like it at all. I've tried to finish it a couple of times, but I can't. I just don't like it. This is not (in my opinion) true to the characters Mario Puzo developed. Puzo developed strong charctacters (Vito, Mike, Sonny - even Fredo). These characters had strengths, weaknesses, morals (in their own twisted ways) - and had their own emotional baggage - who doesn't. This baggage made them more real; more interesting. Winegardner took these characters and redeveloped them so that the weaknesses controlled the characters - as opposed to the characters struggling to control their weaknesses. This book and the subsequent one take these characters and de-evolve them into wrecked shells of what they were. This de-evolution happens so quickly, I can't follow it and it just doesn't work for me. | 11 | [

2 | Visionaries is AWSOME! | I saw this Trade Paperback in my local Comic Shop and realized it is a book of short stories that grew out of artwork that was "cut" from Episode 3.Darth Maul. Grevious. Luke. Obi Wan. Wookies. And tons of fantastic Art. Out of the entire book one chapter kinda stinks. The Wat Tambor story kinda reminded me of Cheech Wizard or something. Not waht I thought Wat was going to look like in comics...But thats it. The rest of the stories are fantastic! Loved the book. If you are a fan, and waiting patiently for Episode 3, this is a taste of things to come.Enjoy! | 12 | [

2 | The precursor to Chaucer's Cantebury Tales | If you read Chaucer's Cantebury Tales and found it twisted and amusing, this books is even better. A loose (in more ways than one) collection of 100 tales, this book was written to keep Italian maidens entertained during the Rennaissance. Want a highly amusing tale? Take your pick. An idea for a prank? There's plenty! Including pranks that have backfired...... This book is also loaded with rather bawdy if not outright shameless tales. Do not be mistaken by the literary merit of this masterpeice! It is indeed rather naughty, while something you could read for an English class. I suggest not trying to read the whole thing like I did(it too me a whole summer), but a story a day is well worth the read. | 11 | [

2 | Landscape of the mind | Like her character, Prudence, Rosa Shand paints portraits. Not only of the African landscape, but also the landscape of the mind. By staying "locked" in the eyes and ears of Agnes, Shand conveys a true, subjective experience of a woman living her life in Amin's Uganda. But The Gravity of Sunlight is not about politics or Africa. It is about Agnes. About her unfulfilling marriage. And the sublimation of her extramarital, interracial desire.A reader above calls this book racist. Baloney. This book is about Agnes, not the apotheosis of Africans, and the Africans whom Agnes does meet are in no way "demonized." Sadly, this critic's predilection to see racism will distort anything he reads. Furthermore, false accusations like his damage good people and impair our ability to detect real racism when it does occur. | 11 | [

Went to take a shower and when I came downstairs I just thought I would take a look at the status of the batteries.

WHAT!!! I called LACROSSE and they told me to send it back.I have another one on the way,ACCORDING TO THEM but i don't know if its a new version or not.It will be here in 3 days. if its the exact same one, I don't want it!

1 | ARCO sells name. Teacher products ripoff. | ARCO claims to be the number one NAME in study guides. Maybe the last twenty years in business lets you sell your name. The demographics of college educated teachers wants quality. The NAME is the strength but the price is a ripoff for getting twenty five sample questions in any of the multiple subject tests. Why do I care what is on 20 different subject areas? I only want the one I take. They think they make you feel confident that you will "score high" without giving any content to review. Four years 25 questions? The only reason I gave it a 2 and not a one is because I give students credit for at least looking for help. The professional knowledge section is the best part. Again it lacks content. Some people may want to learn by reading the answer key. Better stuff is out there | 13 | [

2 | find this record now | Devics are a very new band from Los Angeles. They left to Italy in 2000 and never returned. They have created a following over there and have cultivated curious people over here. Some male/female duos have been very disappointing in the past, but Devics have a real fresh sound. They are like an art rock version of The Beatles and Sparklehorse. Sara Lov sings on "Distant Radio" and it sounds very powerful. The descending four note patterns are pretty nice sounding. Dustin O'Halloran sings on "Song For A Sleeping Girl" which is more like The Arcade Fire and Sparklehorse. "Just One Breath" is a cool song. "The Way Love Talks" is more like a ballad that focuses on the qualities of Sara Lov's voice. It is a great introduction to this band. | 11 | [

1 | Bad Acting, Stereotypical, unrealistic diaster-movie stunts | I just finished watching this movie on VHS 15 minutes ago. It was very difficult to sit through the whole thing. The acting was bad, the characters were 2D; it was like a bad made-for-TV diaster movie. I think Keanu Reeves was fantastic IN THE MATRIX. But I am suprised he was given a lead again with this movie in his portfolio. I should add that the camera work was good. But the music was awful (like Casio keyboard sequences). And the dialog was just cheesy. I am honestly shocked that this movie did so well at the box office, even among respected critics, and still gets good reviews here. I think 10 or so years from now, people will look back and wonder what in the world they were thinking when they praised this movie. Awful, shallow, canned, trite, forced, devoid of even the pretense of reality. It reminded me of Con-Air. Same kind of hoakiness, but at least Con-Air had a protagonist with some depth. | 13 | [

2 | exacly what I wanted | This external hard drive has worked great for storing my home video files. Easy to set up and partition. (I partitioned into four sectors simply for organizational purposes.) I read some reviews about the on/off button being touchy. If people would read the instructions, they tell you to hold the button momentarily till the machine turns on or shuts off. I've never had a problem with it. This has saved a lot of room on my computer since avi files take up so much space. After I turn the avi files into DVDs, I won't need to keep all of them anyhow. I'll save them as DVDs which will take up less room. Also, I knew nothing about setting up an external hard drive before I purchased this. I followed the instructions and everything works fine (I use a pc with windows XP). I didn't even buy this from Amazon, but I did read alot of the reviews here before purchasing. | 12 | [

1 | Lousy | Aren't there laws against false advertising? The Little Friend is touted as some kind of literary masterpiece/opus/mystery. What it really is is a protracted mood piece, a series of dense vignettes stuck randomly together. The author shows off her facility with words, lots and lots and lots of them. Okay, we're impressed. Great vocabulary. But does this chick know how to tell a story? Or did she accidentally leave the plot at the bank? A page turner this is not. A convoluted homage to Faulkner, Dickens, Stevenson and Harper Lee it most definitely is. But just because Miss Tartt can allude to her greater forbears does not mean this book justifies the cost, nor does it mean you will enjoy it. Big it is. Generous it is not. | 13 | [

1 | Terrible Quality | I bought this product focusing on the positive reviews here on Amazon. After returning the first one due to a leaky seam from day one, the replacement is now leaking after two uses. The product was babied, the seams are not durable enough to handle pressure. I took the precaution of sweeping the carpet where the product was placed and letting it sit for several hours filled half way to give the material a chance to stretch. I am 100% sure I did not overfill. It was not even firm. Someone who weights 130 pounds slept on it. Well below the maximum weight limit. The first night was fine. Throughout the second night it began losing a majority of the air and continues to do so. I should have tested the replacement before the 30 day return window, but I really thought the first one was just bad luck. Now the second is even worse luck and I am stuck with a useless pile of vinyl. Wenzel should not even offer a warranty. It is impossible to talk to an actual person from the company. | 14 | [

The "sifter" had clumps stuck to it, the debris left in the sifted litter still needed scooped and attempts to get the clumps stuck on the sifter to "loosen" only made more mess. We took sifter out and said "we'll scoop any day". I purchased another van ness sifting pan, without a lid, needless to say I'm not going to use that one either. What a waste of money. This is one of those times when I wished I'd purchased in a local store. I could return and get my money back. I'm not willing to pay return shipping to send back to Amazon.com. Buy the Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box as we both like this one very much. Two suggestions with the Omega Paw is to wipe down the inside lid every couple of days and do not over fill with litter. | 13 | [

1 | Try the Pocket PC first! | If you are debating between a Pocket PC and a PALM the Pocket PC wins hands down. We have both in our household and the advantages of the Pocket PC are many. For example, go to your local retailer and try out the handwriting recognition. The Pocket PC's is almost flawless and does not require anything other than gradeschool letters. The special characters for ordinary letters required by the PALM often don't work and the screen always seems to need to be realigned. You don't need to use an extra stroke for numbers or capitals on the Pocket PC. And word compleation is a real timesaver over the PALM. The calander is much easier to read and the display looks much more professional. There is a great deal more functionality, with the ability to read and create Word and Excel documents. Games are better as well.And if you have a Palm and run out of battery, LOOK OUT. If you didn't sync recently, you may lose everything, which just happened with our household PALM! | 11 | [

1 | A Disappointed Fan | I've been a huge Manilow fan for decades, but the 70s CD was a real disappointment. The choice of songs was not good and they certainly weren't songs that go with Barry's voice. He made a total mess of "The Way We Were" and "Sailing." The man who is known for "music and passion" certainly had no passion for this CD. At best, he manages "mediocre" on a few cuts. I think Manilow has gotten to the point where the people around him are afraid to tell him the truth. He does have a nice voice, but not for these songs. Buying the CD at full price is a rip-off. Buy a used copy, listen once, and then re-sell it to get your money back. Let's pray he doesn't feel compelled to do an 80s CD!Save your money and go see him in Vegas. He really does rock in person! | 11 | [

2 | The Best | One of the reason I give this five stars is because this camera is cheap for all of its features. I just bought this recently and the you can be as creative as you like! If you are beginning then just switch it to auto and snap away, but if you want to be creative, go ahead and mess around with it! The photo stitch mode is awsome and makes cool pics! The battery life is another great thing about this camera, it last the whole day, literally! But when you buy your memory card make sure to by at least a 128mb so you don't have to worry about erasing cute pics. But the 32mb card it comes with is a special bonus! I took 27 pics and a 30 second movie all on that one little card. One more thing is the movies. They're nearly as good as my $800 mini video camera. Anyway I really recommend this camera for anybody! Good Luck! | 12 | [

1 | Good Oven, Bad Controls | This oven does a good job cooking food. It has a fan which allows it to be used as a convection oven and cook the food faster. There is a pan that is easy to clean.The controls are awful. The labels for the controls are beneath them, leading you to push the wrong buttons. The up and down buttons should be swapped. I'm not sure who designed this, but it's a pain to use. You need to scroll down to the oven selection you want (making sure to push the right buttons), then change the settings for that selection (again making sure to push the right buttons), then you can cook. What would have been nice (and they do this with their toaster) is to have a button for bake, a button for broil, a button for convection bake, a button for toast, etc. Then have buttons or a dial to change temp, time, etc. This has to be one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen while their toaster has one of the best. What's up Oster? | 11 | [

2 | Get your XML here! | This book was all I could have asked for. I have been wanting to learn about XML in SQL Server for a long time. I read the Books Online, but just couldn't really get it. I mean I could write the code and I could play with OPENXML, but I didn't really *understand* what I was doing. This book changed all that. Now it all makes sense. Unlike a lot of other books, it doesn't repeat the online docs. It starts where the Books Online ends. And the sample code is really useful. The book says there are over 700 example files and I don't doubt it! The sheer number and the quality of the samples makes the book worth the price all by itself. | 11 | [

1 | Nothing new under the sun (?) | I was tempted to give it a 3* because the tapes were spoken in a direct language, saying over and over again 'I regret nothing'. I think that was the best message. Identifying 'Marketing' with Coca Cola is certainly a funny, yet daring act. Content wise it is 0% fat milk but strangely enough somehow I found it easy to almost enjoy the tapes. Believe me, there is much worse out there than this one. Somehow I felt like I want to chat with the author a bit. He certainly knows much more than he tells on the tapes !! Now, that is marketing, isn't it ?! author | 11 | [

2 | Actually, it's four and a half, but I couldn't get that | Flipped, by Wendelin Van Draanen, is a really good book. It was a comedy type deal about these two kids who have lived in the same neighborhood since they were seven. Juli Baker absolutely adores Bryce Loski. But he doesn't adore her back. Until...eighth grade comes along. That's when they flipped. He started to like her, and she thought he was a jerk. Does Juli redevelop her crush? Does Bryce think it over and shudder with repulsion? Or...does Juli decide that she might give Bryce a chance-again? I flipped for this book. Will you? | 12 | [

On That Other Level. And they have not let me down yet. Anytime the original members get together (Scarface,Willie D,Bushwick Bill) It's Hot!!Now about this album The Foundation....I luv Scarface but i must tip my hat to Willie D and Bushwick because these boys really stepped it up this time. Scarface did most of the hooks and handled a lot of the producation. The formula is still the same: little to no guest, everyone has a solo, and there is no beating around the bush. Its that uncut dope processed in 5th Ward Texas!!! If u are a Geto Boy fan what are u waiting for u know what the deal is. If not still give this a chance because it's not "mainstream" but it's real sh#t!!! Hotep!!! | 12 | [

1 | Wasted opportunity... | This movie could have been fascinating. The lead actress was well cast and the camera loved her. The scenery was gorgeous. The story, or fable in the case, is an interesting one. With strong characters this could have rocked. Instead, this movie is puzzling at times and incomprehensible at others. I watched with two other people and we kept having to pause the movie and ask what was being said. It was very hard to understand. The editing was just weird - the first cutaway made us think our DVD player had malfunctioned, and I actually rewound to see if it had skipped anything. The characters had no names, and no development. Just a wasted opportunity. I'd advise anyone planning on viewing this to use subtitles to help understand the limited dialog. | 12 | [

1 | Study can be fun! | Your assignment is to read Romeo and Juliet. But who can understand that crazy ancient style of writing? So here you are, hoping for an easier way to get through this, with a side by side translation into simple English. Easier? Maybe. Still boring? Definitely. A dry translation of each line into its literal dictionary meaning makes for awkward, stilted prose and dull reading. These side-by-sides are all the same - except for one:William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Uncensored. Whatever it is, this one is definitely not boring. It's a different take which is not afraid to bring out all the sexiness of the tale that is hidden between the lines. You'll understand this play even more fully (more fully then your teacher intended) and be wonderfully entertained at the same time. | 12 | [

2 | a great horror/humor combo | This one went surprisingly deep on the philosophical banter between the protagonist and antagonist. But it was no mere head-to-head talkie. The music was astonishingly good, the suspenseful action lent a continuing air of suspension and tension that gave you the creeps, and the script was a twist if Nietzsche meets the Twilight Zone. The babes were hot and sassy and the relationships complicated like the taste a well aged wine. If you don't like this movie, you probably don't like to have fun with horror and should seek your thrills in more somber chillers. The clown! William Burns brought levels of sophistication to his role. His character was a spiritual man, you see. The story's message might offend the devoutly religious. Too bad. Hidden talent showed up in this yarn. The girl band coulda been a contender. The lead actress in the movie leaves you begging for more. Literally. | 14 | [

1 | Narrow view of "future" U.S. Naval life sinks book. | Being in the Navy has given me a unique insight into one of the main characters of this book: a United States Naval Officer. It seems as if the author believes that only Naval Officers, not Enlisted, have any brains. Tom Cool could make a living writing manuscripts for the television show "JAG". The movie, "Crimson Tide" gives an inaccurate view of true shipboard life. Would the second-in-command of a nuclear submarine rush into and put out a galley fire? Hell no! I'm tired of movies that portray "Officers" as invincible supermen. I call it "Top Gun Syndrome". "Secret Realms" is the literary equivalent to "Crimson Tide". I am also stationed in Japan, which is numerously mentioned in the book. I don't even want to mention how the author mangled the "future" of the Japanese people. Overall, I wish this book had been kept in a secret realm. | 12 | [

2 | Good product, but an expensive accessory. | This product is a must if you use your GPS in your car. It will save you many, many batteries. I like the quality. It feels solid. The LED on the lighter plug is useful. It indicates that you have power. The piece that snaps into the eTrex seems to connect well. It's never come unplugged after rolling around in my truck. The cord is plenty long for my needs--about four feet. My only complaint is the cost. The price was a little more than I would liked to have spent, but it's the only game in town. | 11 | [

My niece and I love the old shows == she invested in the collection, which at the time had 9 DVD's ... and she paid dearly for them. Now they're inviting her back to buy MORE! Unfortunately, "They" capitalize on desperate fans by putting only 2 shows per disc and charging outlandish prices. However --those discs are definitely better than THIS! Or -- if you get TVLand, they're running "CB & Friends" daily. It's a half-hour format but all skits are intact. Happy Viewing! :) | 11 | [

2 | Pretty Poppy. | Once in a while people who want to Get It Right will Get It Right. From the opening chords of Ride Angel, Ride this one sounds Right. Didn't It Rain sets up the pace and is in definite cover territory for local-local bands. It's a thumper. Familiar soundscapes for Get It Right and onwards. Thoughtful and hook filled, each song gets up and flies. They've lived and researched folk rock thoroughly and always reach good results. These two are pretty pure--maybe too poppy for those Gillian Welch fans--but Pete and Maura could easily do clean, clear water public service announcements in character. On a grey, rainy, cold New England morning this record will put spring in your heart. Warm and fun too (Galaxy Express). Every tune is well polished and Pete Kennedy has the artistry of a session player who always perfectly matches the requirements with sparkling guitars. Attitude always matters and I love their attitude. | 12 | [

1 | Misleading Labeling | I thought this product had reasonably good taste, but I have two major issues with it.First, they describe this as a Kettle Corn. It is not Kettle Corn - not even close. This is a caramel corn with a thick sweet coating. Real Kettle Corn is a slightly sweet, slightly salty popcorn.Second, each very small bag has 1.5 servings in it. When was the last time you opened a small bag of snack food and only ate 2/3's of it? They purposely made the serving size unrealistic to make it look healthier. The whole point of paying for individual size bags is that it limits you to a set portion. Remember when a can of Coke had 1.5 servings in it? The FDA made them change the label. If you eat the whole bag, you are eating 200 calories of popcorn. No better that a bag of potato chips or a few cookies, so this is not a lesser evil - it's just the same old junk food with a new name.I won't buy this product again. It's the same stuff you can get anywhere. | 12 | [

1 | Great Writing, Not Face To Face...... | As usual, the songwriting by Trevor Keith is excellent. But, there is only one problem: This isn't the same Face To Face that recorded Don't Turn Away, Big Choice, Over It, Face To Face, and Face To Face Live, almost literally! Two of the three original Face To Face members are gone (Rob Kurth-Drums, and Matt Riddle-Bass). I expected more high energy, punk rock from Ignorance Is Bliss. I think that it's really terrible what this album did to the band. It's way to much of a change all at once. i really enjoyed the album, but I'd rather hear this music from the Foo Fighters on Third Eye Blind, not Face To Face. I was very upset and disappointed with this album. I hope that if Face To Face releases another album, it's more like Don't Turn Away, and not this %$#&! Reccomended songs: Overcome, Burden, Heart of Hearts, and I Know What You Are. If you are a first-time Face To Face buyer, buy Don't Turn Away (and read my review on it) Review By: Joseph Palazzo | 11 | [

2 | PUT ME IN COACH! | Fogerty rocks! This DVD blew my expectations clear out of the water. I am so pissed off that I missed this show when it came to my town. He goes through almost all the essential CCR songs and solo songs as well as some newer songs.The video quality of this disc is outstanding. The images are crystal clear you feel like you are there. The sound quality is great. At parts the camera angles get a bit annoying when they are shooting from behind Fogerty, but for the most part its well edited.Now to the important stuff. Fogerty was amazing! He seems young despite being 60 years old. His show is crazy hi energy. His voice has barely changed in 30 years, and his guitar playing is way way better then I had imagined. The rest of the band is also tight. It is quite obvious that Fogerty is CCR. He is truely a great singer, song writer, and musician. I certainly wont miss his next tour if he comes to my town again. | 15 | [

2 | Yes, but of course it's melodrama! | And therein lies the beauty. Don't pick this up expecting anything but a brooding city, flawed and tragic love affairs, passionate physical encounters inside a hanuted mansion during a thunderstorm, a bookshop, a dark character who hides his burned face, lots of rain . . . it's all there. And Zafon pulls it off beautifully. Fermin is a real treat. Without his witty, energetic and passionate character, perhaps the book would not have been so sharp. But he shines, and carries the book for the most part.My only complaint was the way Zafon failed to carry some of the early threats. The burned man was one. After appearing early in the story with real, gripping and very possible threat, he virtually vanished, not to be seen for many many many pages.But for the most part, a highly enjoyable read. Not quite on a par with O'Neill's 'The Lamplighter,' but has that same brooding tone.Delightful! | 12 | [

1 | Not recommended | How do you screw up a mouse? Ask Logitech. NOTE: This Bluetooth mouse requires direct line-of-sight to the USB dongle, and the dongle must be placed no more than 2.5 feet from the mouse...and that's with new batteries. After figuring that out, I spent the remainder of the first week of use trying to get their SetPoint software to work, which crashed with an exception about once a day. I ended up removing the SetPoint software, and the mouse works just as well without it as with it...which isn't very well. The mouse suffers a 1-2 second latency to begin tracking movement when dormant for more than a few seconds. Probably a power-saving feature, but it's very annoying. The only thing good about this mouse is ergonomics, but it isn't worth the hassle. It has me thinking about going back to a wired mouse. Summary: buggy operation, poor reception. Not good if you're a company specializing in computer mice. | 11 | [

1 | Be careful of sizing. | I had to order the medium size direct from vendor as Amazon only had the large. I used the sizing chart and my arch measured just over 8.25 inches...which should have been large. However, my sister told me not to order large based on feedback comments. So, I went direct thru Footsmart. I received the medium (and paid for shipping) only to find the medium was too big. (This is starting to sound like Goldilocks.) I wear a 7 1/2N shoe...although shoe size is not the criteria. I went to return only to find, it would be $6.99 for the return label. I had already paid $4.99 for the original shipping. I wrote to them and they sent me a free label. Good vendor for that! I asked for replacement. Just got a credit for $9.99, so if I want this $9.99 arch support, I will have to pay yet another $4.99. I give up. I dont want it anymore. I will try something else direct from Amazon where I am a PRIME user and wont have to pay shipping. | 16 | [

1 | book club pick | I was not expecting this from the first reviewers comments. I was expecting a little espionage with drama and light romance. I was extremely disappointed in this alpha male character. I don't think abusive language and possessiveness means I Love You. And if that is what some women think, have at it. But this was not for me. If my book club hadn't picked it, I would never have picked it myself. I don't mind romance, but quick frankly, I haven't read them since I was in high school. And to romanticize this relationship and call it loving is (in my opinion) a joke. And if this writer has other styles of fiction, let me know. Just my thoughts. | 11 | [

1 | More cumbersome than therapeutic. | This spica splint offered NO help for support or immobilization of my thumb. The velcro fastens at the wrist and at the thumb but at no spot inbetween. Any movement of the thumb, hand or wrist causes the parts of the brace between the two points of contact to gap. That allows movement. This brace seemed nothing but cumbersome during the few try-on moments before I returned it. It did apparently help others. Was I using it wrong? Who knows. The promised instructions weren't really inside after all.I think I'll end up going back to the physical therapy hand specialist to have a brace molded specifically to my hand. It will be water proof, washable, durable and offer proper support of my arthritic thumb base so pain can be relieved. Sure glad I still have medical insurance. | 11 | [

2 | Ok......but doest not compare to 1997's Cool Relax | I was shocked that this album was not advertised in any comercials. When I first heard of this album, I was reading a Vibe magazine. I give this CD four stars because:1. I am a huge, huge Jon B. fan2. I have all of his CD's3. Good talented, clean artistI must say that I was slightly (just a bit slightly) disappointed when I heard this album. The songs are great, but I was hoping for more slow ballads. My favorite cut on this CD is definately Before It's Gone. This is how I rate my Jon B. CD's: (Pleasures U Like is tied with Bonafide)3. Stronger Everyday2. Pleasures U Like2. Bonafide1. Cool Relax | 13 | [

2 | Beautiful art work, story a little slow | This is a nice account of the life of the Prophet, but the story telling drags a bit. As always Demi's artwork is beautiful. Were I to grade the story telling alone, I would probably give it 3.5 stars. Then I would give the presentation (artwork, printing, etc. 5 stars). The story is definitely not for children any younger than seven. My six year old is an advanced and avid reader, but she becomes bored with this story rather quickly. This is telling given that she can sit down with something like "Charlotte's Webb" for more than an hour. Nonetheless, for the time being this is the best biography of the Prophet in English for young readers. Hopefully there will be something to surpass this for both a younger audience (4 to 8) and an young adult audience. It is amazing that there are not many quality children's books about the person considered by some to have been the most influential individual in history. | 11 | [

2 | The Pressfield Histories | Here's the short of it: For those who have never read a Pressfield 'history,' you need to join the club. I enjoyed the Pressfield historical novels in this order. Also, for you folks new to Pressfield and/or his historical genre, I have likened each to a film that may help put the book into some sense of perspective.1. Gates of Fire akin to Braveheart, Gladiator and Glory2. Last of the Amazons akin to Last of the Mohicans and Troy3. Virtues of War akin to Patton and Spartacus4. Tides of War akin to In Harm's Way5. The Afghan Campaign akin to Kingdom of HeavenI enjoyed each of these books, and I enjoyed each of these films. You'll go wrong with none of them. There is no requirement to read the "Pressfield Histories" in any order. Start at the bottom and go to the top or vice versa. Makes no difference. Regardless of your approach you will emerge wiser than when you began and you will acknowledge that the experience and the time spent on these books was worthwhile. | 13 | [

2 | Great Eros version! | I love this movie! I know others have issues with accuracy, believability, etc. but it's still a Bollywood movie--not a documentary. I love the young, naive character Shah Rukh plays in it, and his persistence, although, my husband says he should've just pursued the belly dancer (Malaika Arora Khan) that was dancing on top of the train with him at the beginning of the movie and saved himself alot of trouble! (A really great scene, by the way!)I already owned the Moserbaer version of this movie before I bought this one, and it's a pretty bad version of the movie. It just seems really cheap, cuts off in places and has their watermark glaringly obvious in the corner the whole time, and also doesn't look very clear. (I've experienced the same thing with other Moserbaer movies so I just won't buy those anymore.) I decided to try Eros' version and what a huge difference! I love it. This version is definitely the one to buy. | 11 | [

1 | Not Dorothy's Best | I have read almost all of Ms. Garloch's stories and loved them. This is not her best. The storyline of Nelda and Lute was annoying and predictable. On again, off again. They were married years ago and seperated. She moved back to their hometown to sell her grandparent's farm. There they meet again and slept together, then fought. Very boring. I felt the main character, Nelda, had little compassion and did not truly love Lute for taking his words to heart as much as she did. I did not like her very much. She had witnessed the last concert of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Richie Valens and it did not seem to affect her at all when they were tragically killed in a plane crash. She was too wrapped up in her own pity party to care. By the time I got to the end, I did not care whether they got together or not. I just wanted to read something else.I will continue to be a Garloch fan, but this one was a disappointment. Still, I urge you to read her other stories. They are awesome! | 16 | [

1 | This Is It | Well, it's here. The worst thriller I have ever read. The religious issues and condemnation of organized religion I have no problem with. In fact, that was interesting for a while. But it went on and on. And I absolutely hated little Jeza! People here have discussed the awful writing better than I ever could. At first I thought that was done on purpose but nooo. And I ended up cheering for the Church. If only someone had the sense to shoot Jeza at the start I would have been spared 400 odd pages of the boring shrew's philosophy. When the inevitable finally happened and everybody was redeemed I felt like I had put myself through hell for nothing. Please, grant it's another 2000 years until Jeza returns (and until G. Kleier attempts to write another lousy book!) | 12 | [

1 | A very passive approach... | I was looking for a book about discipline that helps increase self-confidence rather than undermine it. I picked up this book, which turned out to be not at all practical for parenting my high-spirited and generally well-behaved daughter. The suggested responses to situations are very passive and assume the child gives up very easily. Samalin suggests replacing obviously abusive language ("Pick up that coat this minute! Why are you so sloppy? Didn't you ever hear of a coat hanger?") with oddly passive-aggressive language ("Coats belong in the closet, not on the floor.") (p. 16). Other conversatons in the book presume that as soon as a child's feelings are acknowledged, all battles will be over. But in my experience, pretending behavior problems don't exist doesn't make them go away, so I found this book to be impractical. If you want to take a direct rather than passive approach to parenting your kids, this is not the book for you. | 11 | [

2 | Love it! | I bought my first one about 15 years ago. I had that one for about 10 years. My ex-husband and I bought it for true muscle massages. At some point, I experimented with it and found that it was amazing for other things too!! After about 10 years, the cord frayed. I couldn't find it online so i ordered two or three different ones and i was sooo disappointed and i sent them back. Then, i found it online again and ordered it. I have had this one for about 5 or so years - maybe longer. I don't know what I would do without it!! It is a little loud. but, sometimes if you turn the attachment and kind of straighten the part that connects it inside, it makes it a lot quieter. | 11 | [

When I started read this wonderful book I said to myself, Oh My God, someone actually wrote a book on everything I was wondering about.

2 | A Laid Back Stroll Through Hell | I don't know how else to put it, but this book is a relaxing stroll through hell. I found myself relaxed, happy, and engaged, reading this book. How is that possible? How? I'm taken on a journey through hell. How can I be enjoying myself so much? I don't know, but I did. Did hell sound horrid? Sure did. There were some possibilities I never thought of.This book is very creative, fun to read, and still relevant. Most science fiction books written over 30 years ago do not stand up well today. This one does. I never felt like I was reading a 30 year old book.This book is well written, enjoyable, fun, and makes you think. What more can you ask for? Read it. | 15 | [

1 | Occasional fun... but it tries way too hard | This movie had a very fun idea for a plot. And it wasn't the outlandish proportions that made it unenjoyable. It was that the lines were unoriginal, the plot highly predictable in an annoying way, and the ending far to fast and cheesy. All the actors tried too hard to be funny, although Fonda was certainly the more experienced one, occasionally delivering humorous scenes. The cliches were the most grating thing about the movie. The excentric gay friend. The nasty and aggressive blonde who loves the leading man. The hot doctor who is over the top cheesy (NO guy could EVER describe a girl's eyes like that). The sassy african-american assistant (think Miss Congeniality 2 but not as funny). But J-Lo is beautiful and sports many cute outfits, and her leading man isn't at all hard to look at - thats one star. The second? The one scene where I actually DID laugh, when Fonda tries to put nuts in Lopez's food and gets in a fight with her assistant. | 12 | [

1 | Vague and Disappointing | It's too boring and basic for my taste. I wanted a more advanced textbook. Alot of people say that this book was okay, but for me, I give it a 1/5. I'm not satisfied with Mader's Biology. I don't agree with alot of the stuff that was said like: The US population will have minorites (Black, Asian and Hispanic) as the majority in the next two decades. That is bull! White people have children and their children of course reproduce...even when they are teens because some don't mind. I aslo think that this textbook is simple also, as one person said. It's too basic. It tells you what a Penis is and it tells you the function of the other organs in your bod. However, she fails miserably to add how to take care of the organs and diseases that can come from doing things. Sure she has STDs down, but it doesn't tell how a baby forms in the stomach or how big a baby is when it's born. I haven't read everything, but I skip around because my class hasn't started yet. | 13 | [

1 | Serious design flaw............ | We purchased this system in April of 2001 for our van. We loved having it and it really worked nicely. Nice picture and sound quality. After about 12 months it began to develop stress cracks behind the screen near the hinge area. It was under warranty and we sent it in for repair. They replaced the screen and it was reinstalled. Again at the 24 month mark it is developing stress cracks behind the hinge again. Its a matter of a few uses until it completely drops off again, held only by the cables inside. After calling the customer service center and discussing sending it in yet again to be replaced it occurred to us that this will probably happen again in 12 months. After asking the customer service rep we found out that they will not replace it if the defect shows itself again after the 3 yr warranty is up ( from original purchase date). This product has an obvious design(integrity) issue and it needs to be adressed. | 11 | [

1 | One of the worst movies I've ever seen | I left. The main character making V's over and over crushed me. I know this is a weak review; I just had to put in my one star on this one. I only hate one other action movie this much, which was Face Off with Nicholas Cage. He kept saying "Face Off" to make sure you got it. V for Vendetta? Are you sure? I was thinking it was an S. V? Really? Can you repeat that again? It was painful. | 11 | [

1 | Good for a year! | I bought this and was so excited to have a combination coffee/expresso machine. It has worked great and makes really good coffee and expresso. However, I was trying to brew a pot of coffee and it stopped working. I check everything and unplugged it to see if it was just a glitch. It completely stopped working. I contacted the company and they replied and ask for additional information. A week after I sent the information they replied with "the warrenty has expired. please take your machine to an authorized dealer for repair". As much as this thing cost, you would think that it would last longer than a year. I missed the year mark by 2 months. I am extremely disappointed!!!!!!!!! And I will not buy their products again! | 12 | [

1 | DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!! | I have owned a few netgear products over the years with little to no problems. Boy, let me tell you, this hunk of junk too the cake! First let me say, setup was easy. Thats it. From then on its been a nightmare. For starters, it would take FOREVER to find my router, even when it was 2 feet away. Ive got 2 xboxs, 2 wiis and a few other laptops that have no trouble finding my router. Strike 1. Now, at some point i was able to get the software to locate my router, and it would connect, but i couldnt surf the net. After spending over a month searching web sites and trying upgrades, even 4 different window programs, 98, xp sp1, 2 and 3. Nothing. Strike 2. The third strrike came when I could get everything connected, and even surf the net, for about 2 mins!!!!!!!! The connection would still be there, but browsers wouldnt work.

2 | Great value | I'm an RN in intensive care and wear this watch to work about 40-60 hours per week. I love it! I've had it 3 months and it's been very sturdy, no scratches or dings yet. The face is simple, easy to read, and thorough. The band has a tab that keeps excess from flopping around. I like having the option of a 24H viewing format. It has held up to my 50 times per day handwashing. I am thin and have smaller arms than the larger average male and was afraid the face would be too large, but it isn't at all. It's not small however either. You can lose the intructions if you want because the functions are very easy to read. Changing the time and date when needed can be figured out easily without having to keep the booklet for the rest of your life. Great watch for the price! | 12 | [

2 | MX stands for MaXimum in my book! | I have to say it... I love Macromedia Fireworks. I'd been using PhotoShop and ImageReady, but no more. Fireworks makes building not just web graphics easy, but entire nav bars and even full websites. If you're in need of graphics, this is the way to go. You can build simple rollovers and disjointed rollovers as easily as just basic graphics. Plus, when working in Dreamweaver MX, roundtrip editing is a snap. Just select the graphic, press edit, make your changes, save and Dreamweaver updates automatically. The two programs have even more seamless integration than the previous versions. It can work with any font on your computer. And, it'll impress your clients like nothing you've used before.You can even import graphics from Illustrator, FreeHand and PhotoShop with very little trouble.A great program... made even bettter. (This is based on Macromedia's downloadable pre-release trial version of the program.) | 12 | [

2 | Excellent beyond words!! | Excellent television at an unbelievable price. I purchased the Toshiba Regza 26HL67 for less than $650 including shipping and handling from [...]. Brand new set out of the box. I first purchased another brand from another website and returned it immediately. Toshiba is a top of the line television brand. I have 3 Toshiba televisions in my home and I enjoy all 3. I have reviewed Sony, LG, and Samsung LCD HDTV and Toshiba leads the way. I placed this television in my daughter's room and I must say her HDTV is better than ours (my wife and I). The television shows excellent reception whether watching HD or standard programming. I bought the same set for my son's room. You should see the image when he plays video games. The sleek styling compliments the bedroom. Knowing Toshiba products, I know for a fact I have years of enjoyment to come.Toshiba REGZA 26HL67 26" 720p LCD HDTV | 13 | [

1 | Ok, angle is not true to description | I purchased this to sharpen a Ka-Bar BK2. The angle that is printed on the holes 15, 20 degrees etc, is not the true angle the knife is really sharpened to. This is because of the width of the knife. You can figure this out with high school geometry. In my opinion Lansky did not advertise their product correctly. I tried contacting Lansky direct asking them how to correct the angle via email, fax and US mail, however Lansky never responded back to me and it's been 4 months! I would seriously consider the Spyderco Sharpmaker product. It's more expensive but is actually useful. In my opinion, the Lanksy system here is more suited for a pocket knife like a Swiss Army. Anything bigger then that and it will not give you the correct angle. In addition, it did not hold my knife square at all due to the clamp design of the product. | 11 | [

2 | Huge Fan | The first book in the Grant County series. And what an opener. A particularly disturbing murder involving a blind woman explodes at you like a whiplash. Clearly KS doesn't go easy on any of her characters. Everyone's fair game. Coroner Sara Linton and her chief of police ex-husband Jeffery Tolliver must work together to solve the case, something Sara is not too happy about. There is certainly still love there, but also deep wounds that are still too fresh. I smell a rekindle. Another main character is Lena, a young police officer and the first female cop to be hired in Grant County. She is constantly trying to prove herself, which results in her being rash and unpredictable. She is my least favourite character but I'll cut her some slack as her character has a pretty hard time in this book. The final scenes are disturbing and sick - tread with care. | 12 | [

2 | Does the trick | I've had a number of Cateye cyclocomputers over the years and they've all served me well. I wouldn't buy anything else. The Enduro 8 follows in that tradition. Particularly impressive with the Enduro is it's ability to very reliably pick up the signal with the sensor pickup attached to the suspension fork well in excess of the recommended distance from the spoke magnet. Nothing is perfect however i.e. the trend arrow reads non-intuitively i.e. down arrow doesn't signify a speed less than the average it's telling you that the display speed is higher than the average speed (or put another way the average speed is lower than the display speed. Get it?) Also mode indicator type size is too small for my tired eyes. Lastly my Vancouver-based son prefers km readout to mph--need to remove the display to make the switch. Picky, picky... | 11 | [

2 | BT's Sucky Mix | I bought Tori Amos's 'Talula' in high hopes, even when I saw the remix. I thought it would sound like the great "Crucify" and "Hey Jupiter" remixes from previous singles. Well, I was wrong. The final track, "Talula (BT's Synethasia Mix)" is abhorrent. Clocked at a vile 11:27, it utterly destroys Tori's talent with dance beats and pure trash. It is a disgrace to humanity. Aside from that remix, the rest of the single is wonderful. "Talula" is considered one of Tori's best songs, and the b-sides are great. "Samurai" has a beat that will get your foot tapping and Tori's sugary vocals and piano will relax you. "Frog On My Toe" is slower and you can hear much of Tori's classical influence in the song as she serenades us with typical Tori lyrics. Her cover of "London Girls" is outstanding. I would've given this single the top rating, but that misanthropic remix kept me from it. I give this single 4 stars. | 13 | [

1 | Spend a little more and get a better one! | 1/2 star only because it is a Hoover! I have had this vacuum for well over 4 months and I use it often. I am quite disappointed in the quality. The cord is too short, the motor it too loud and the bagless container is small and is not a breeze to empty, it tends to be messy. The fold away handle does nothing more than make it "appear" less bulky. It must still be stored upright. The suction is less than expected and forget about using it on tile, vinyl, or wood floors. It will only scatter whatever you are trying to pick up. I find myself using my older Hoover to pick up what this one leaves behind. Overall it looks nice but doesn't meet my expectations I have come to expect from a Hoover. Of course I also purchased it at the original higher price. So now I'm even more disappointed as it seems to be going for almost 50% of the original price. | 12 | [

"Of course I also purchased it at the original higher price.",
"So now I'm even more disappointed as it seems to be going for almost 50% of the original price."

1 | The worst pan I own, everything sticks! | I love Le Creuset, my first pots were hand me downs from my mom and they've been used between the two of us for nearly 40 years! They're wonderful! And the soup pot is my absolute favorite! This skillet however is a disaster. I honestly think it should be recalled. I use medium heat and some oil and everything sticks. Potatoes or eggs are a nightmare. This morning I tried once again and finally said enough. I'll try to reseason it, but it seems beyond hope. I'm very disappointed in the quality from Le Creuset. Maybe there's an issue with a small percentage of these pans? | 11 | [

1 | The Simpsons!! | Who doesn't love the Simpsons? I certainly do!! I watch all their episodes (new and old). And what's not to love about them? They're silly, funny, and witty!! I can't say i'm a big Simpsons fan but i am a fan none the less so when i saw they had a wrestling game for playstation, i said i had to get this game!!Well, like some of the Simpsons episodes, this game was disappointing. it wasn't all that interesting and the wrestling moves, i thought, were limited. and it's a very easy game to beat but then again, some of you might like that. In any case, it was still fun for an unchanllenging game. It was only fun for about 10 minutes.I wouldn't recommend this game at all unless you like simple fighting games. And if you are a Simpsons fan, you'll get it anyway regardless whether the game isn't all that. | 12 | [

2 | Amazing!!! | This is a great product!!! It really works for me. I felt the new growth pushing through my scalp after the first week. My hair feel thicker and healthier. It delivers on the promise. My only complaint is the size of the vitamins. It is hard for me to stay with the program because they are hard to digest. But they really do work great!!! My hair has grown approximately one inch in one month. Praise God!!! | 11 | [

1 | Before you get too excited | This is not a bad book. However, I was disappointed because I guess I misunderstood what "simple yet thorough" meant. This is very simple; it is for 4-8 year olds and they mean it. I didn't learn a whole lot and that's a lot of money to pay for a simple book. I don't believe this is a complete list of holidays. There is no month listed for the holiday! There was no explanation of the Jewish calendar and of how they calculate years. I'm pretty sure there was not an activity for each holiday, which was a big minus (I borrowed this from the library). (Side note: if your child has food allergies, you would end up with not many activities to do at all.) So instead of billing this as an activity-filled "thorough" book, I would say it would probably be a nice read-aloud to your child. You could probably find the same information online (which is what I plan to do with my children). | 11 | [

1 | Headphones do not work | Had trouble getting battery compartment open so e-mailed RCA. Not easy. Actually you will eventually get to Audiovox. Was informed on how to open the battery compartment. Turned out to be very easy. Just hold ear piece in the palm of your hand and put the other hand's palm on the removable piece and push down and turn in direction indicated. Presto! After inserting batteries and charging them for required time plugged the head set into TV. Nothing! The charging light works but the power light does not. I have e-mailed RCA again to see if I did not do something right. The previous ear phones I used in the TV work just fine. I wanted to use those elsewhere. The TV I want to use them with is at a vaction home 100 miles away. I will be returning these if RCA can't give me help. | 15 | [

1 | Very disappointed in this supplier! | I ordered this DVD for the children I nanny. This was to be a surprise; I had rented this movie before Christmas and the children loved it! It arrived in time for Christmas and they were thrilled to say the least. Then they tried to watch it. Apparently this DVD can only be viewed from a computer DVD drive. The regular DVD player could not even recognize it! Apparently it's not the right format or whatever to be played in a DVD player. However, it was described on here as being a DVD without any indication that it can only be viewed on a computer. To say the LEAST, the children were EXTREMELY disappointed and so was I!!! I am now here on Amazong trying to find out how to return it! What a hassle!! :( | 12 | [
