Only the obvious copied and pasted

This book I found rather disappointing. It is DEFINITELY for the beginner. So much that most information is nearly copied from all the help information provided during the installation process itself.If you are a beginner I would not recommend buying this book. Look for something else!!

Motorola H500 Bluetooth

I was quite disappointed with the purchase for two main reasons. For one thing, the device goes to a "stand-by" mode after a few minutes of inactivity. If your phone rings, you need to manually turn on the headset, wait until the head set sees your phone and starts ringing, then you can answer...if you have a potential client on the other line, trying to contact you, you'll lose him four times out of five. The second thing I'm not happy about is the quality of the transmission. People can barely hear me, or my voice breaks up very badly (even when I have perfect reception with my phone). If you need a head set to work with, I'd highly recommend you NOT to buy this particular model...

GAMESHARK SUCKS(waste of your time)

I bought this product from Best Buy a few days ago.. And I was so excited about completing my pokedex in pokemon emerald, and getting all the legendarys, that I opened it right away. Well.. guess what happened? I was about to write in a code and then it crashed on the first 2 minutes!! Then a blank screen appeared every time!! I returned it right away the next day!! Don't waste your time on this worthless item. Do it the old fashioned way and stop cheating!!

THIS TAPE RUINED MY VCR

THE CASE THIS TAPE CAME IN WAS FULL OF GLUE AROUND THE EDGES AND THE GLUE WAS ALSO ON THE TAPE ITSELF. I THOUGHT I HAD ALL THE GLUE OFF THE TAPE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN THE VCR. THE VCR ATE THE TAPE. IT WOULD NOT LET THE TAPE BE REMOVED AND BY THE TIME WE GOT THE TAPE OUT, THE MACHINE WAS RUINED AND SO WAS THE TAPE. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS DISTRIBUTOR TO MY WORSE ENEMY.I WISH I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE ADVISE OF THE OTHERS THAT WROTE REVEIWS. MY SON WANTED THE CARTOONS SO BADLY I BOUGHT THE DUMB TAPE. PLEASE DONT BE AS BIG A SUCKER AS I WAS.

Tight songs from Bone!

This single contains 2 tight songs from Bone's masterpiece album "The Art Of War": If I Could Teach The World and Body Rott! And to make it better, it has the instrumental versions of both songs(so you can rap the songs yourself or rap your own songs) as well as the acapella versions, which make it easier to learn the lyrics to the songs! Check this out today!

$6.99 here, or $0.00 on Gutenberg

The company asking $6.99 for this public domain book, widely available on the Web, is called BiblioBazaar.Bizarre would better fit..99 is, perhaps, reasonable for a repackaged public domain book, though really Kindle users should just find unencrypted Mobipocket files and load them using the USB to their Kindle.In the meantime, caveat emptor!

Not Hoover Bags - Envirocare Received Instead

Picture of the item on Amazon shows a genuine Hoover product, but what I received were "Envirocare" bags.This 3-pack of Envirocare bags weighs 3.8 ounces, whereas a 3-pack of genuine Hoover Y bags weighs 4.2 ounces (in other words, the real Hoover bags are more than 10% heavier). Whatever these are, they are not the same as real Hoover bags.

Not terrible but definitely not great.

Infected Mushroom has been around for a while, which is why I am so surprised that their music has yet to mature. Anyone who is familiar with the goa/psytrance scene must be aware that there are far far better producers than IM at this time. They may have been one of the pioneers of the genre, but they have since been eclipsed by better talent. If you don't believe me, feel free to email me and I will gladly send you (via mail or AOL IM link-up)one of my personal dj mixes which contain only non-commercial and underground producers (Son Kite, Noma, Timetech, Reefer Decree, etc.). I love the music and try to turn on as many people as possible. Email is djarchetype21@hotmail.com

disappointing results

I expected to be able to use this sharpener to get a very good sharp edge to a knife. Unfortunately the edge I have been able to get is marginal at best. I've found that to get a truly sharp edge I have to use a hand stone and steel. I've been quite disappointed in the results.

I loved this product when I first got it, it worked wonderfully and I thought "why spend 2.99 per spray can, when I can buy a misto once?"

Is he for real?

All of Tom's books have been very interesting and inspiring, but there is something that makes me wonder if he is for real. However, the science and art of tracking was very good and I have had success with most of his concepts. He has a lot to share, I'm sure, but I don't know if I would take all he says for 100% true. For instance, In The Search, "weathering out a bad storm in the top of a giant oak tree in a national park in Montana." In Montana!!?? I live in Montana and there is not one single oak tree in the whole state. Tom is obviously fudging here for sake of and interesting story. I would recommend all of Tom's books and the morals and principals he expresses in them, and his wilderness guides are very well done, but just be aware. Kevin

Great Film starring a young Waylon Jennings

This is really a great film! It has so many classic Nashville stars in it. The movie is actually kinda fortelling, it's about this young musician trying to break in (played by Waylon) and finds a manager who believes in him on his rise to fame. Just a few years later in real life and Waylon was a superstar! When this came out prob no one ever heard of Waylon.I really enjoyed the music in the film, Loretta Lynn does "You Ain't Woman enough to take my man", Tex Ritter does "Hilbilly Heaven" Waylon does some very early work but all are great songs..."Green River" (not the CCR song), "Nashville Rebel" and "Nashville Bum".Great scenes from the late 60's of the Grand Ol Oprey and Tenn as it was, a very great film.

Worth to read and re-read

It's a book about each individual's greatest value - about the health of our body as given to us by our Creator. We are responsible for it. The health means wholiness, understanding that our body, soul and mind is interconnected with each other and with our surroundings. This book reveals the "secrets" in a most simple and easy-to-understand style to everybody. Once you read this book, certainly you will re-read its chapters several times again. You won't know how your body works, but you will know how unique and valuable is it for you and what can you for maintaining it. Worth to read and re-read, but the best to follow its advices.

Do yourself a favor

If you haven't met Harry Bosch I envy you because you have 13 of the very best novels you've ever read ahead of you. Michael Connelly is a true master of his craft and in The Black Echo he introduces us to Harry for the first time. Do yourself a favor and buy this book in hardcover because you will want to keep it--after you've passed it around to all your friends.So many crime writers get bogged down in the police procedural aspects of the book. Far from slowing the pace, Michael Connelly's police department politics and procedures educate us in a highly entertaining fashion. There's never a dull moment in a Harry Bosch novel.I'm a writer myself and I only hope that someday I'm half as good as Michael Connelly. If you choose to check out my bookThe Towers Of Greedplease buy it from seller Whitebear as that's me.

Not a Navajo voice int the bunch

The story is generally carried along by short conversations. but the voices do not change. I had to see who said or replied to know who was speaking. In good writing each character carries their own voice through the novel - that is how we get to know them. This does not happen here. The only interesting part is the knowledge about medicine herbs. I guess if one has never read a novel about Native Americans, either modernists or traditionalists, or better yet gotten to know a few, this might be a good start. But every culture carries its own language and thought patterns and to capture that is the trick of good writers. Hillerman of course comes to mind (as does Faulkner with an entirely different kind of "unbeknown" culture) - we know who each character is just by the way they phrase things.

A Fair World's Fair

Like a great painting, Doctorow choses his words carefully, depicting the 30s as the dark, mournful era that it was. Written well with the usual description that Doctorow is famous for, I have to say that the synopsis made the book sound more exciting.The book details the experience that the protagonist and his family have while at the World's Fair in New York City. From the oddities to the fun, Doctorow did his research and what was there. Unlike his other books like Loon Lake or Welcome to Hard Times, I did not feel I was there, at the fair.Displaying the 30s like it was, this book proves and depicts how far we have come since then. In the primitive times of tea-line-legged nylons and T&A was unheard of, historians and fans of Doctorow will be pleased. I applaud him for his historical essence and truthfulness . . . the excitement factor just was not there.

Over 2 years to come up with something that will be found in the bargain bin very soon

The Darkness had an interesting debut album months, no check that, years ago. That was not a long CD, neither is this. Justin's voice probably cannot be taken for over 40 minutes. Some people see this band as a joke while others think The Darkness are the second coming. I fall somewhere close to the middle. The debut had at least 50% memorable songs that were fun. They let everyone know they used 70's hard rock as their model for that sound. Queen, Thin Lizzy prime examples. This CD appears to be using more of 80's new wave as the template here. The Cars maybe? This rocks half as hard and that just isn't good enough. Nothing on here rocks for long besides "One Way Ticket" and "Bald". Sorry guys but you were "This Year's Model" 2 years ago. I would have thought with this much time on your hands you could have come up with something better. Hasbeens.

Ok. This game kicks. There's no doubt about it. The graphics may be a little outdated. But what's the point of playing a game just for it's graphics? And everyone needs to stop comparing it to FF8.

Excellent synopsis of wealth of nations

The first three "books" (the term for "chapters" in Smith's age) of the Wealth of Nations are the most important of the book. The introductory essay by the Smithologist Skinner also provides great insight into the book per se, Adam Smith and how Wealth of Nations fits into Smith's other works. This is despite the fact that it is only about 70 pages long. THis essay is much more enlightening than many books on either Smith or the Wealth of Nations. The price of the book is worth that essay alone.

WHAT A CROCK

PRIMEVAL is not your typical giant crocodile movie...it doesn't know whether it wants to be a horror movie or a study of civil war and unrest in Africa. But either way, it's a misfire. The script is contrived and a little tedious; the special effects are okay, but there's not enough of the crocodile. The direction is reminiscent of early MTV and a copy of such films as HOSTEL and SAW. Much of the action is filmed in the dark and it's difficult to see what's going on. The acting from Dominic Purcell and Orlando Jones disappointing; only veteran Jurgen Prochnow manages to give a solid supporting performance. Horror fans will probably be disappointed.

Her Father would be very proud

I am a huge Elvis fan and I was a little sceptical about Lisa Marie's musical talent but I had no need to be. This is an excellent CD. Every song is great. Just like her dad I can put the CD on and listen completely through without having to skip any songs. Her father must be looking down on her with great pride. I have heard alot of critizism about Lisa's talent but she can stand on her own. She really sings with feeling and the lyrics are great. A couple of the songs brought a tear to my eye they are very heartfelt and true. If you buy any new CD'd this year you have to have this one in your collection. It is well worth it. Looking forward to anything else she does.

Disappointing

I recently read Buckley's "Thank you for Smoking" and loved it. So, I was predisposed to liking "Little Green Men." Unfortunately, the book, and especially the main character, never grabbed me. Buckley re-uses many of the same puns (lobby group names) and characters (undercover women). If you want to read a Buckley book, try "Thank you for Smoking." It was captivating and hilarious.

Doesn't clean well at all

I bought this toothbrush after hearing other people's recommendations and TV ads. After using this toothbrush for about 6 months, I'm done with it. After brushing with it I feel like I need to brush again. I get better results with a manual toothbrush.It's also very messy. In the trash it goes. I'll stick with the Oral B electric toothbrush.I think the only good thing about it is that it stimulates your gums really well because of the vibration, but unfortunately a toothbrush needs to do more than just that.

Great Product

This Remote is the best remote I have ever had. It's so good I purchased a second one for the master bedroom so I could operate the system from two locations with out carrying the remote around with me. You begin set up by programming each component into the remote. When that's done you can start using it immediately. What makes the remote so great though is any of the keys that didn't program through from the initial setup can be learned by the remote. Even the most obscure function key can be easily leared by the RF-10. I would definetly recommend this product to a friend. As far as I'n concerned, it's the only Universal remote a person would ever need.

After discovering shattered pyrex coffeepots, burnt saucepans, etc. because my mom put on water to boil and then promptly forgot, I was looking for a safe product that she could also physically handle as well. This electric kettle is beyond excellent; it is easy for her to pick up and manipulate in her frail, arthritic hands and the automatic shut-off guarantees no more tears due to broken glass or burnt pans. As another reviewer noted, this appliance also gets the most use in our household; we've had this for just about 6 months now and we just love it! Thanks Braun for a great product!

A good sequel to MEG

Meg is back in this sequel, which picks up right where the last novel left off. Angel, the female offspring of the Meg, is being held in captivity and displayed by Jonas Taylor and aquarium-owner Masao Tanaka. What many don't realize is that Angel is smart and thus escapes her captivity. Again the horror starts with Angel rampaging everything in her path. Now, Jonas must go back to the Marianas Trench and try to eliminate this prehistoric giant, but once there he finds that there are other prehistoric monsters still alive. Not as good as MEG, but full of action, horror and lots of fun to read.

Am police and religons expert: it is inaccurate.

Having served as expert witness in comparative religions, and in pyschology, as associate professor at a state college, and as police officer, my opinion of this book is it is not worth reading twice. It is highly inaccurate and biased. It overlooks the proven cases of criminal satanic practice, such as Matamoros Mex, (Palo Maiombre). It agrues from silence. It is just an attempt to make a buck by telling people what they want to hear, religios crimes do not exist, or at least are not a serious threat. Too bad he does not know what he is talking aboiut

Heavy Duty Contractor Trash Bags "Just as Good"

Space bags are cheaply made, if your not careful you'll rip the seams out of them, but even if you are careful the bag will not keep air out for very long. Air like water is nearly impossible to keep out of anything that it surrounds so if your looking for "space saving" get a box of Contractor's Heavy Duty Trash Bags and fold your items placing them into the bag, gather the bag around the vacuum cleaner hose, when the air is removed tie a knot in the bag. Like the Space Bag the air will leak back into the Contractor's bag but the knot and the seams will hold, you've gained space and it cost you about a quarter.

Great classic/ but too expensive here

I brought this book because I had a class that required it. I got it within 2 weeks so that wasn't bad but I hadn't realized that I paid more for the book here then I would have had I gone to a local store! The back of the book says it's only $2.50. The lowest price I could find on Amazon was $4. I guess that's why people don't have to pay for shipping when they purchase items that exceed $25! (The free mailing gets paid for (at least in this case), with higher book prices.BTW I found out that this book is a free e-book via the web. Next time I'll make sure to check that avenue first.

One of the most memorable books I've ever read

I read the book when it was first out (1995?) and haven't forgotten it in detail yet! I loved the evoluation of the Knight's transference from a knight of his own time to a modern day man (picked up by looking at his daily habits; how those habits slowly changed to a more modern sensitive man). I adored the character portrayed in the heroine. The two were a perfect match. I laughed THROUGHOUT the first half of the book. About midway I began to sniffle. When I finished, I sobbed so hard I was afraid of waking my husband (3 a.m.). Any book that can make me laugh AND cry certainly is worth reading and remembering. It is absolutely one of the most memorable books I have ever read. Give Ms. Deveraux a hand for such realistic, loveable characters. Wish she would write more about the ones she used in this particular book. I look forward to rereading the book in later years (I still remember it too well to reread it right now). You don't forget this book!

A joy for every meteorite collector

Though I got Norton's Encyclopedia of Meteorites first, I'm glad I still bought this one as it is more beginner friendly, and delights every reader of the meteorite legends and bed time stories.I use to have this principle not to buy the second book of the same author, as the content is almost the same. The encyclopedia is still an excellent reference for the more technically inclined individuals, I should say for geologist its easy for them to see eye to eye, but "Rocks from Space" has always been recommended by almost every meteorite dealer and collectors, and they can't be wrong. Its a must for every collector in their library. Mr. Norton has always been close to many a meteorite collector, and the reader can share his views without boundaries.

Don't fit like 511's

Like other (negative) reviews, the jean color in the picture was different than what I received. The picture of the chain link color shows a blue pair of jeans but I received a gray pair. However, the label on the jeans do say chain link. I ordered a 28x30, like all my other Levi's 511 skinny pants but these didnt fit like them. They fit more like very skinny jeans, like the kind on the Miller Lite commercial. The waist size was correct and did fit like 28 should.

Crimson Tide, Broken Arrow, The Rock, Pearl Harbor are greatscores, but all of them derived their powerful and unforgettablethemes from Backdraft.

You have to be kidding

This is a joke right? You need to buy a book to track your mail in rebates? How about...make copies of everything, write the date you submitted on each piece of paper, put it all in a file folder. Rebate comes in, you take out those pieces of paper. You're done. If you really want to get fancy, hang a calendar on your wall and every time you submit a rebate, look at the rebate to see how long until it comes back (6-8 weeks, etc.) and write a note on the calendar that far into the future so you know to check up on the rebate if you haven't received it yet.

Turgid and rambling

This book is far too long for the few new insights it presents. The text meanders, the prose is turgid, it is almost painful to read (why use a short sentence when a long, rambling one will do?) and at times contradictory.I found his dwelling at length on the 'Golden Years' of the 50s and 60s to be Happy Days nonsensical reminiscence. This is an author past his prime. The book could have used a really solid edit before going to print.

Comanche Moon

My husband couldn't even read it, it was so boring. Gave it away. He was expecting it to be along the lines of Lonesome Dove, but was sorely disappointed.

Super Sound

Ashamed to say I had never heard of James Last, his orchestra and chorus, until I saw a squib on German TV and learned that he is among the top-selling recording artists in the world today. Apparently his "danceable" versions of familiar melodies is all the rage in Europe and beyond with 170+ albums to his credit. Amazon offers several and I just picked one at random since I liked some of the selections. Well, folks, this is stellar stuff. Easy listening at its finest. My guess is: pick any one and you will be pleased. The price is pleasing too.

Butter in your ears!

The previously unreleased songs: "Come into my life" & "Funny man" are magestic masterpieces. Horace voice is the voice of an angel!

APPALLING - DON'T BUY IT.

I adore the music of Harold Arlen and was very excited by my purchase BUT this CD is going back to the CD store tomorrow. It is quite possibly the worst collection of attempts at singing I have ever heard. You don't have to wait long for it to get bad either - the first song is simply dreadful. To mention just a couple - Rufus Wainwright sings like he has huge marbles in his mouth, being almost indecipherable, slurring all the singing and generally destroying the enormous talent of Mr Arlen. Deborah Harry is a cool and sexy pop artist but cannot sing jazz, misses most of her notes (I know jazz isn't about being note perfect but this is painful to listen to). To make these recordings and then sell them to the public under the guise of talent is a slap in the face to all lovers of Arlen and jazz. BUY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

Great Fun

I purchased this album because my college age children wanted to share their music with me. The videos age great and the music is fun.

Repeat that please!

I thought I was careful to read reviews. After purchasing 3 of DR. Dunbar's book, I find them to all say the same thing. If you have one, you wouldn't need the other two. What if I have a full grown dog? Is the training different? I found a book that beats them all. Check out Jean Donaldson's book.Train Your Dog Like a ProNo stories. Good for any age dog. Video with it. All good,simplistic directions, using rewards and sometimes a clicker. Achievable! Positive.Affordable.

Mob story

I was looking for a good mystery. This story is primarily about a young chef's experience with the mob. The environment is more New Jersey "Goodfellas" than a kitchen. Mob pressure , crime and threats were not what I hoped to find in the story.

Springsteen Speaks to Us All

Well, I liked it. After years of listening to Bruce's music, if not paying sufficient attention to the lyrics, the book helps me grok his lyrics in ways that move me, occasionally to tears.My guess is that Coles' collection of impressions will resonant with everyman and everywoman, if not Springsteen fans who find themselves already there and academics who need...what?Some of the interviews do ramble. Yet, the ancients must have gathered and babbled long ago and will forevermore around story-tellers.I bet Coles' work will eventually be recognized as a significant contribution to helping us understand ourselves as Americans through this collection of tales from the trenches where ordinary people seek hope and love and voice....

Does not work properly

The item turns on and off for no reason. Not a good product, possibly be good if it actually worked. When it is working then it sounds alright. Also, the picture does not actually represent what it looks like. The PSP sits on a clear plastic cradle, it does not physical connect to the speaker.

StarGate SG-1: The Complete Series

My order arrived in brilliant condition - no damage to packaging and all discs work as they should. I read the negative review, and there are many, however still took the chance and ordered. I was pleasantly surprised that nothing went wrong or was of poor quality. I will purchase from Amazon again.I was very impressed with the delivery time. It reached South Africa in 3 days. However it took almost 3 days to get from the airport in Johannesburg to my house, which is 15 minutes away from the airport.

Don't Buy THIS DVD....Buy The CD!!!!!

I hope this review squeaks it's way to the top so people are aware.....This Dvd is very good, although it is only the dvd. The cd of this live concert COMES WITH THIS DVD!!!!! Obviously the better deal.

A sleepy biography of Fred Allen

I'm a big Fred Allen fan, I played his shows on my radio show. This biography goes into great detail on his early life, his years of struggles in vaudeville, honing his writing skills. I could not finish it, there is way too much mundane detail. The writing style is very dry, no zip or zazz. The biography of Queen Victoria was racy in comparison. IT would be much better to buy a CD or MP3 of his shows.

Just buy Stereolab

OK-Well i gave this cd a try, wrong move. If you want this kinda of sound, just buy Stereoloab, it's the real thing. Broadcast throws too much weird keyboard sounds that really don't sound anything but out of place. The atempt is ok, but the full spectrum is not great. "The Book Lovers" is a good tune, it's about the only song you can really absorb, the others are quite empty and a poor atempt to sound "spacey". I would'nt buy anthing else from this band. Nice try guys, but no cig.

Robin hood vs Peter Pan?

I ordered a Peter Pan Costume, as advertised, for my 10 year old daughter. I received a Robin Hood costume.The quality of the fabric was poor, though it fit well and we made it look cute with a toy sword. We pulled it off, and also had a Tinker Bell and Wendy in our group, so it worked out fine, but overall, not what I expected.

So relaxing.

I LOVE this hammock! I had wanted a hammock for awhile and after spending hours and weeks researching & looking for the perfect one... i found it! I have owned this hammock for about a year or so. It's still strong as the day i got it. As odd as it may be, this serves as my "couch". I have it in my living room. lol. So it is used quite a bit. I've even slept in it numerous times. The colors are very bright and eye catching. Makes a lovely pair with my palm tree. :)

DVD customers get the shaft!

Am I reading this right?No extra features or director's cut on DVD- It's blu-ray only?I am a huge Terminator fan, and couldn't wait for this to come out. But apparently, this is a blu-ray game and not about Terminator.I will not buy the blu-ray or the DVD because of this. Shame on them.

Not what I had hoped for - Too Easy

Ok, I had hoped for a fun way to really work my abs, but this just isn't it. The music is horrible and it's barely a workout. I have done P90X, P90X2 and Insanity (but still I'm far from a pro/ athlete) so going from those to this is a joke - And I was even using this as an add-on workout! It's slow and I didn't feel any real abdominal workout... Maybe it's because I'm used to more strenuous workouts, but this was a joke to me. Also, I didn't enjoy Shaun T. as a trainer on this video - He comes across much differently than he does on the Insanity series. The whole video is cheesy.

Hot, really

I give it 5 stars because I couldn't ding it down to 4.5. It is a quality Apple product--i.e. works smoothly and the interface is beautiful. It actually runs hot--not that this matters, really. I could complain about the lack of record capability, but I use my computer to obtain, store, and organize most media now. This is as it should be, I suppose. As the device runs OS X and you can hack it to do additional things... Also, Apple periodically unleashes more functionality by pushing software updates to it. (It does YouTube now. I see Apple is under enormous pressure to placate large media owners/studios, wish to deny us that final bit of freedom to record broadcast tv.) So I won't get rid of my TiVo just yet, but seeing Apple advancing the field makes me want to.

A Rumor of Bones

First there was Patricia Cornwell, then there was Kathy Reicht, and now we have a third great writer in Beverly Connors. She's as good as they get and right up there with the other two queens of forensics. I can't get enough of Ms. Connors!Excellent!

TAKE SEASICK PILLS B4 WATCHING!!!!!

This film would have been quite enjoyable if not for the cliched jerky spinning hand held camera gimmick that made us all sick in Blair Witch...it's really over the top in this movie and why arent we seeing films shot during the day....it wudda been just as scary especially the scene in the subway tunnel!!
