This guy's gonna be big!
I have a few albums that I'm able to just put in my car and keep there for several weeks of driving without ever getting old. Even without my favorite John Mayer song (Comfortable) this album is still awesome. Every song jumps out as an honest testament to life and love. "My Stupid Mouth" and "Your Body is a Wonderland" especially cannot be missed. I can't say enough how much everyone needs to experience this album! I'm so glad to have caught John Mayer on his rise to being a household name!

Went Nowhere...
I thought this book was going to give me insight into a Middle Eastern culture I knew nothing about, but instead it was a bunch of essentially short stories that seemed to go nowhere. I barely made it through this book and learned very little. I'm not sure why this book is/was considered cutting edge or juicy. Trust me, there's nothing juicy in this book.

Authentic Artistic Alphabet vs. Simulated Stylized Stories
Joanne Dugan's concept of life's daily NYC language, illustrates how both an adult and child see and talk about their world together. Goodbye Barney, Hello Barneys New York for the child in us all and the parents that helped form our world. What a wonderful experience for all involved; International tourists, former New Yorkers, uptown/downtown personalities and suburbanites from the greater metropolitan area. Reality WOW what a concept. How lovely to see it lived and contained in gestural photographs of spirited moments. I look forward to other cities, indigenously revealed, so that additional communities can be seen through her magnificent lens!

just the movie
This blu-ray version only has the movie, no extras.What blu-ray manufacturers are thinking? The disc suppose to have 50 Gb of space. But they decided to only put the movie. Plus the quality is Ok, just a little bit better than the dvd version. What a waste of money.

incredible talent, a must have!!!!!!
LLB are the best new band I've heard in years.They are very talented men. My husband bought the CD, and I kept thinking these guy's are awesome. They have a sound that is comparible to our SANTANA CD'S. I'm a grandmother who loved SANTANA in my younger years, now I enjoy LLB with my grandsons, who are 10 and 12. They love it! They will be around along time if the next CD is anywhere near as good as this one. You need this CD if you love Carlos, you'll love this.

GREAT CD!
this is a really great CD that almost wants you get up and start dancing. the only thing is that each song is really short (almost less than 3 minutes each) but the CD is still really good and they're songs that you want to keep singing all day........so go out and buy FM static!!!

BOOOOO!!!
STOP!!! Before you buy!! Do you have 2-3 hours to put this thing together? Do you enjoy the sting of rope-burn? Can your dogs handle you cursing at them and yelling "GO AWAY??" Are you aware that this product was intentionally designed NOT to fit through doorways or down hall? If you want the custom look in your home that this product will give after the handles gouge themselves into your drywall and leave skidmarks on your paint when you try to move it (no matter how you angle it) - then go ahead and order one today! I think I'll need to back my car out of the garage and bring the thing in through the back yard so I can come in through the sliding glass doors - WHO DOES THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS?? There is no way to fold and store the thing so when he's done with it, I think it will be "hammer time" around our house. They should have called this thing the "tramp-o-mean." My son will probabaly love it, and I don't think I will ever forgive him for it.

Blueberry smell.. weird taste.
This tea definitely smelled like blueberries but upon tasting it, it was a very sour /bitter taste to me despite not over steeping the tea. It almost tasted like cough syrup. added a bit of organic sugar and it tasted a bit better. Maybe I Just don't like herbal / fruit flavored teas.

BEWARE
"Oyl Can Harry's" was my first Ahmad Jamal purchase almost 30 years ago; I still have that vinyl, and it started a lifelong love for his music. The best thing in"Harris" is a very unusual Jamal solo: his introduction to "Folklore"; first alone, and then as a duet with bassist John Heard. Unusual as it is, it is absolutely unique in his recorded output. Unfortunately, though, this very solo appears severely edited and mutilated on the CD edition of this live recording. Since "Folklore" is by far the most interesting track on this album, I strongly recommend the vinyl to anybody interested on this great live music. A huge deception for a huge fan. LONG LIVE AHMAD!

SKIP THIS ONE
Not only was the writing amateurish, the plot line was obvious almost from the beginning. I had read good reviews and was very disappointed in this book. Some of the dialogue was quite good, but the transitions, such as "she bit her lip," "she scratched her ear," etc. were awkward. I felt no real connection to the characters because of the way the book was written.

Not Quite.
Ok I read this book. I'm not a Star Wars freak, but I enjoy any good Science Fiction out there. But this book simply didn't do it. Terrible characters, badly written plot and cliche's that make you laugh out lound are only some of the bad aspects of this book (and indeed the entire trilogy). If you want a really good Star Wars trilogy then read the Heir to the Empire novels by Timothy Zahn. At least they sound like they have been writen by an adult instead of a ten year old kid.

Don't buy it
I received this toaster oven as a gift. Nothing about it works consistently. The timer only works on occasion. The oven heats very unevenly. And even though we keep the toaster set on the "medium" setting, sometimes the toast is burned and sometimes it is a barely warm piece of bread.I have generally had good experience with Black and Decker products, but this toaster oven is a piece of junk.

tip-top hip-hop album
This may be one of the best hip hop albums ever. No, it does not sound like the first or second albums. It is much much better. This is one of the few discs you can listen to from beginning to end without skipping any tracks. If you understand Hip-hop the way it was meant to be heard, not like the material of Puff-Daddy, or Will Smith, you'll want this. It blends melody, beats and lyrics in a way that will surprise you

Simply the worst printer I've ever owned
Does "everything", but nothing well at all. This printer is buggy, unreliable and goes through (expensive!) ink cartridges even when printing in black only. The printer will usually not restore the wireless network connection upon coming out of sleep, leaving me to fully power cycle the device. Other bugs and crashes seem to appear weekly. Color ink cartridges seem to dissapear in a hurry, even when using black only (greyscale). The printer case itself is flimsy and poorly thought out. The only plus side is that the scanner seems to work fairly well and has a variety of different media support. In short, I will be searching for another brand of printer as this one is nothing short of frustrating.

this is a great one
this movie isn't the sort of movie you really understand the first time. it is thought-provoking and even though it jumps around a little, it has a very good story. i like all of the different themes that are brought into this movie. and despite the serious tone it seems to carry, there are many points of good humor thrown in. i would recommend this to pretty much anyone who has always wanted more for their lives, but we're just afraid to get it. this is an inspiring film once you reflect on its meanings. if you haven't seen this, you should.

Ordered this step drill bit and used it to cut 3/4" holes in the frame rails for some subframe connectors. The bit cut into the heavy gauge sheetmetal frame rails without any trouble, so I'm defintely pleased with it.

Little Black Book = Waste of time and money
Pay close attention to the word "Little" in the title. I own "Black Books" for Windows 95 and 98 and have learned all kinds of interesting things about how to make those operating systems work better for me. Apparently the publisher and author of this "Black Book", have decided that adding the word "Little" to the title means that they can get by with putting "little" worthwhile information within the covers. Their total intent seems to be to insult my intelligence. I've only had XP installed on my computer for about eight days, and I already know more about XP than this book teaches. I would say that it might have made a half way decent "Dummies" book, but I hate to insult the "Dummies" line of books. If you need to know about XP, buy a different book. The only reason I gave this book 1 star, is that Amazon would not let me rate it lower.

Disappointing
The "Luclin" EQ guide (this guide's predecessor) was worse than the "Kunark" guide (the definitive EQ guide), and this is still worse. Rather than updating and cosolidating the comprehensive "Kunark" Guide and adding the new Planes of Power info, the authors hastily slapped together bits of information and added some old maps and some lines on race/level questions. The new info bits exhaust themselves with some of the new beyond-level-60 spells, 2 maps of new zones and some random quests. Not worth the money.

Great resource, especially with Chinese venue names
Compared to the other travel guides (I have them all - Frommer's, Time Out, Fodors, HoodHot), this one has good maps, conveniently located in the back of the book (you'll need em! and quick! to try and figure out how to tell the driver where you want to go) and a great index where you can look up venues that you wanted to go to etc. Great for finding good places to go in Beijing, and better when I used it with my iPhone (downloaded the HoodHot Beijing Taxi Guide app from the app store, which translates English venue names to Chinese and gives Chinese addresses), so I didn't have to bring the clunky book around!

It's not worth the trouble for free!
I have been using their software for 3 years and really liked it. It was the best on the market. I don't know what they did but it will crash IE7 and outlook express over and over and over again. Called tech support several time (Shortest hold time was 45 mins longest 1h45m) because it would not load right, tried their solutions to no avail. I figured out with no help from tech support, I might have some conflicting software, uninstalled and it worked only to keep crashing they my browser and mail programs. After I uninstalled it everything worked great. Such a shame, it use to be so good.

Disappointing
I could not wait to read this book because I absolutely loved and was captivated by July Blume's young adult novels when I was younger. But I'm sorry to have to say that I was nothing but greatly disappointed with this Judy Blume adult novel. For the first time, I was unable to relate to or comprehend any of the characters and was disappointed with such a poor storylines given to them.Blume fails to develop the characters with any real depth or personality, other than to develop them sexually. She also fails to develop personal storylines in this novel that are realistic or that keep your attention. It's hard to believe that the two main characters would be friends or remain friends.If you are looking for a book about real friendship, don't buy this book. If you are looking for a book about two females having sex with each other as teens, then with a bunch of guys, and eventually with each other's boyfriend, then buy this book.

bland vocals - another boring album
Ok, I like Decapitated, just not on record. Live, they put on a great show and that is what got me into them in the first place. This album just doesnt cut it. There is a new vocalist, and I cant stand it. Gone are the low rumblings from Winds of Creation and other Decapitated releases. The album kinda sounds like The Negation (which bored the hell out of me), but with crappy vocals.Lots of reviewers tend to say "if you like Behemoth or Cryptopsy, you should check out Decapitated." Well, Behemoth and Decapitated do have somewhat of a similar sound (kinda like early Vader), but does that mean it's good ? Not really.I honestly cant believe how over-hyped this band and their past two records are. Sure, Decapitated plays some decent death metal, but its nothing that hasnt been done before. The new Suffocation blows this away.

THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!
I read this whole series in ,like, three days and this book was definitely the best. To everyone who says Daine and Numair's relationship was "unappropriate", you are SO wrong!!! Do you have something against romance? It was obvious from the very first book! And if you didn't pick it up from Emperor Mage, than I must say, you are blind. The clues were slapping you in the face(or someone else's). They make aperfect couple. Anyway, this book was wonderfully romantic, funny, and action packed. Read it, you'll like it.

Good but challenging
I enjoyed "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel, however it was a challenging read. When I first read the book, I found it rather disturbing, and disliked it. It took me a while to fully comprehend and appreciate metaphoric aspects of the book. This book would be fun to read with a Lit class or a reading group.

Terrible packaging!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered the Bushnell Perma Focus 8x25 Binoculars. When I received the item I was shocked. The Postal Service had to tape the box, because it was open, and it was crushed and torn. I then opened it, and found that Amazon didn't even take the time to put the item in bubble wrap or insert pop corn. The binoculars were sent back, because although they didn't appear to be damaged, I wasn't taking a chance. I bottom line is, I will NEVER deal with Amazon again. I emailed Customer Support, and never received a reply.

Buried secrets
Claire Watkins, Deputy Sheriff in Fort Antoine, Wisconsin is back. This time she is investigating a fifty-year-old murder of an entire family that came to her attention while investigating the theft of pesticide. Shortly thereafter plants and people start being poisoned and it all points back to the long ago death of the Schuler's, a farm family consisting of two parents and five young children.Mary Logue has written a very compelling story interweaving past and present. Both past and present characters were intriguing. It took a little effort to keep everyone straight, but it was well worth it. The story was suspenseful and though I found the ending to be a bit weak it did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the story.

Don't Trust this Product!
Bought this last year at Lowes to spray on newly planted trees being browsed by deer. Not only did the spray not keep the deer away, I think it might have actually had an adverse effect on my Royal Empress Tree saplings! They seemed to wither and die after I sprayed them. The spray did not bother my pear trees but it certainly didn't deter the deer either. They gnawed those practically to the ground. The spray smells terrible so if you do use it where gloves and a t-shirt you don't care about and make sure you are down wind!Save yourself some money and make your own spray using a couple of eggs and water (20% egg to 80% water ratio). Just make sure you take the membranes out of the eggs before you put them in the spray bottle so it doesn't get clogged. You can also add some cayenne pepper so if the deer do taste your plantings it will be a one time deal!! Cheap, effective, easy.

why this book was terrible
I think this book was quite terrible because Alex was a complete loser. A total geek committed to building little plastic men and painting them up in all the right colours. This is not someone any highschool reader wants to know about. Secondly, all those chinese people could speak english, realistic, maybe. But how could Alex pick up all that chinese? 2 days of school? ya right! this was terribly developed and the author often strayed from diary form and went back. Ineffective.

Better than perfect!
I waited years to buy this Kitchenaid cobalt blue Artisan mixer because I had a perfectly adequate 25 year old white one. I looked for the best price with no compromise in the product and found SAVE12 in the list of Amazon suppliers. The projected delivery date seemed far out, but I chose the least expensive shipping method anyway. The mixer was delivered about four days later in perfect condition. About a week after delivery, I received an e-mail from SAVE12 with a $30 rebate application for my mixer. I am very pleased with the product AND the service. I would highly recommend.

This guy is the latest in a forever march of con artists trying to sell kook ideas with a book. I read the book and researched the writer, his background cannot be verified nor can his income, but I am sure it is much higher after selling this book.He is a low middle class reaching for the upper class, by givingmiddle-middle class the "shakes" on how they will die pennilessand destitute in future unless they end their $inful way. There are two ways to make money, you either earn it or inherit it. So that making yourself nervous and get busy doing one of these, hell go find a rich wife or husband!!!

Be cautious!
The civilization claimed in this book has very poor morality in India. This civilization created "division" or "caste" among peaceful Indians and inflicted numerous atrocities among innocent civilians. Though this fact does not directly relate to the claim this book makes, I request readers however to be cautious in accepting the facts laid down in this book without consulting references and other supporting articles.

Infectious, mesmerizing
When I first heard it I had to listen to it at least twice a day--the whole thing. It's heavy, weighty--like a Mercedes compared with a Toyota. It makes you wanna think, but dance too. It's deep yet with twinkles spread throughout! My favorites are Man of Sorrows (love that Monette voice in there!), Dancin' by the River (urban BBQ), and Throw the First Stone (listen to that quirky interlude just before "cultural conversion, total immersion...") Get it--you'll be glad you did!

Better off burning your money than purchasing this
This garbage is not worth owning. The creator is borderline insane. His ideas are that boxing is the only way to fight, and his broken English is next to impossible to follow. The creator or his representitives are online over on Yahoo and plague the clubs with SPAM and obnoxious posts even after being asked to stop repeatedly. The material that we have viewed is poorly made and the instruction is of very poor quality. You would be better off going to a third grade playground and learning to fight from the class bully. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on these vidoes. He has further made reference that America deserved the attack on the 9/11. I would not give this man ANY American money.

Total Waste of Time and Money!
I bought one of these, and it was a total waste of my time and money. It looks cool, it looks sturdy, but trust me, it is horrible. Because of the way the handle is positioned, the thing tips over (or tries to) EVERY TIME YOU USE IT.Save yourself some aggravation, and just buy the OrangeX mid-size commercial juicer. Same company, but a MUCH better product. I've had one for several months now, and LOVE it. Yes, it's bigger. Yes, it's more expensive. But it'll do what you want - juice your citrus quickly and easily, with super easy cleanup.

Not really worth it
Okay, so I took the bait and shelled out $40 for these (seems like all the official iPod accessories one wants are $40). Yes, they have good sound, BUT you need to be sure the headphones are jammed down your ear to seal them in there to hear the quality. Five minutes later the seal has broken, and you lose a lot of the bass tones.In summary, yes, they have good sound quality and yes, if you fiddle with them enough you hear all of their sounds and tones, and five minutes later you are doing it again...are they worth $40? No.

Love the Toddy!
The Toddy makes excellent iced coffee, and it's definitely less acidic made this way.While the process as described may seem daunting, it's actually pretty forgiving--it's hard to screw it up. I've left the grounds soaking way longer than recommended, and the drink was still delicious. I use a 12-oz can of coffee to 7 cups of water, and have had no trouble with overflowing grounds or not draining well. I even made it without the filter by accident, and that's how I do it all the time now--the flavor seems a little more complex this way (after the coffee drips into the jug, I pour it thru a gold coffee filter--you could use a sieve-into another container to eliminate the grounds, then back into the Toddy jug for refrigerator storage)I tried a few different coffees, and now I use a dark roast (Sumatra from Trader Joe's is cheap and tasty). I love the convenience of being able to make a big batch of iced coffee and have it waiting each morning.

Oh . . . y'know . . . it's poetry.
I dearly love Ric Ocasek's lyrical ability, and I even spent some time as an open-mic poet myself. But still, what can I say? It's a bunch of poems recited against various backgrounds of musique concrete. They're good poems. I liked the chick's stuff better than Vega's. (Surely they knew, going into this project with a pop mega-star, that they would be referred to as "Vega" and "the chick"! No, I don't feel guilty for forgetting her name!)I especially enjoyed sitting and reading the poems from the booklet, in peace and quiet. The actual recording was a one-listen-only type deal. I don't even ATTEND poetry readings any more.

The Greatest Book I Ever Hear
I think this is a good book for any age to read. It feels like you're going in to her life more and more as you read. In this book there is journey, sadness and a little bit of reality. I would like to tell you about the journey that happens to Jenna Boller. She goes to Texas with her boss, Mrs. Gladstone. Jenna has a sister named Faith, and her mom. Her dad has a drinking problem and Jenna thinks she is the cause of it. That is all I am telling you. Now you have to get the book to find out what happens next.

Mayo Clinic Wellness Solutions for Fibromyalgia
I was so disappointed by this video. It was very misleading. I thought it would be a nice lady doing real exercises for fibrymyalgia. However, it was Rodney Yee who did some yoga stretches and who obviously does not have fibromyalgia. I expected so much more from a Mayo Clinic DVD.

Hands down, the BEST CD I own.
This CD deserves only the highest of praise. At one time I mocked Ben Folds Five. That was, of course, until a friend of mine convinced me to borrow this CD. I listened to it once through and thought I was done with it, but songs like "Kate", "One Angry Dwarf..." and "Battle of Who Could Care Less" had me hooked by the end of the week. After buying the CD I began to relaize that there is not ONE bad song on this CD. Top to bottow is sweet, pure bliss put to music. Not only does Ben write beautifully, but his singing can go from graceful and emotion-laden to exciting with a rocking "edge". The songs all have a "reality" to them, as if they are all beliveable stories stemming from Ben and not just lyrics. Although "Brick" earned this album its success, it is only the beginning of the goodness this album contains. It was enough to make me a huge BF5 fan after all! Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

Nice bibliography
There were a number of very good historical pieces of information along with a very good bibliography. The book helps fill gaps in education that we do not always get through our current media.

Pompous & Banal
This isn't just a thriller! This book has important things to say?? Should anyone need help understanding the difference between reasoned, thoughtful criticism of organized faith and dull-witted prejudice, or for that matter, between tedious pseudo-philosophizing and real thought, this very long novel is here to clear the air. As pretentious as it is hateful and misguided, this fiercely anti-Catholic novel makes one wonder just which of the author's knuckles Sister Mary may have finally broken in frustration at his lack of writing talent. For those of us who left the Church, just get over it Kleier! Don't inflict unresolved bigotry on readers. Readers are supposed to believe that what makes this book worth enduring are its windy metaphysical meanderings, but these thoughts are so pompous and banal that they can't begin to redeem what is a very bad novel, full of bogus posturing and empty of thought.

Warm up the bottle ON THE GO could not be easier!
We needed something to warm up a bottle while travelling or walking around town(s). This works great. All you need to do is wrap the pack around your bottle, stuff it inside of the neoprene cover, and pop the little re-usable "button" that activates the solution inside of the pack. It instantly gets hot and you're bottle should be ready in about 10 minutes or less. Once you get home, just boil a pot of water and drop the pack into the boiling water for about 5 minutes and the pack is re-set for the next time. We bought a 2nd one we loved this so much!!!

Changed from Unhappy to Pretty ok, and back to no good....
I felt that I might give it a try, hoping that the good reviewers outweighed the bad.Well I wasn't so lucky.Rigged the pump yesterday to my dipstick, and tried everything I could think of for an hour to get this to work.NADA, ZIP, ZILCH, NOTHING!Last I tried priming a "self Priming" pump with some fresh motor oil and pieces of the plastic impeller spit out the back end.I guess I know why it wasn't working now.hopefully they'll send a replacement.Replacement was sent, and worked well.Drained 5 Qts of oil through my dipstick in less than 10 min.Now It won't pump. Don't Buy.

JANE'S FIRST CD
JANE MORGAN's GREATEST HITS cd was her first ever material on cd and I had waited for it for some time. It is a fine collection...except some one put the wrong version of "Two Different Worlds" on the cd. I love both, but the cd liner notes mention ROGER WILLIAMS (another Kapp artist) on this one, but it is THE TROUBADORS instead. I would have traded Jane's beautiful cover of "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" for "It's All In The Game" but it got more airplay when it was first released and is on a 45. The first song I ever remember hearing Jane sing is "The Day The Rains Came." It is still one of my all-time favorites...even the French version is GREAT! It was a top 40 here in the USA and reached #1 in England in 1958! All the ingredients are there in Jane's first cd to be a winner....GREAT songs and a beautiful cover...which was used on one of her KAPP albums in 1960...yes, JANE MORGAN is alive and well and living in Malibu, California.

A Long and Happy Life
A Long and Happy Life was interesting. I chose it because I live near its setting. Character and scene discriptions were excellent. Ending was very sudden and to me unsatisfying.

Absolutely incredible!
I've used several EKG texts over the years and this one is definitely one of the best! The unique method used to convey basic through advanced EKG principles is highly effective! This book contains excellent diagrams to help reinforce concepts. The presentation of axis and 12-lead EKGs is especially helpful. I certainly don't think this is only book one should use when learning EKGs (i.e., Thaler's text is good too), but I think it's truly one of the best and most useful.

Great video worth repeated viewing!
This is really a great video with some great demonstrations on it. I recommend this to anyone with an interest in finding out more about Close-Range Gunfighting. Just having a firearm does not automatically make you safe, you actually have to train with it! This video covers many of the situations you might encounter in the real world and provides training drills to prepare you to use your sidearm to deal with those situations. Well worth the money spent, I have watched it repeatedly.

Interpreting the 1970s
Linda Ronstadt was the foremost interpretive singer of the 1970s as well as being the most popular. Most of the dozen songs on this greatest hits package really were big hits, dominating rock radio at the time. That said, there is an uneveness to the quality of this album, most likely due to the fact the every song was written by a different person. The highlights are "You're No Good," and "When Will I be Loved," from Ronstadt's classic "Heart Like a Wheel" album. Also strong is her 1967 single with The Stone Poneys, "Different Drum," her Neil Young cover "Love is a Rose," and her other oldies covers "That'll Be the Day," and "When Will I Be Loved."Overall, a decent collection of hit singles from the most popular period of Linda Ronstadt's long career.

shoddy
what a waste of material. I guess the idea was nice. not very high grade. I like the tint but images aren't clear. It's also pretty small. they do make soft visors for a reason. btw, I didn't buy it because I was going to use it for its supposed purpose. Also it was more then half off.

Cannot be used for induction cooktop!!!
When you perform a google search for induction pots and pans the Cuisinart 66-14 shows up at the top of the list. Yet, these cannot be used for induction cooktops. None of the literature states these pots and pans cannot be used for induction purposes. Beware, Cuisinart will not allow you to exchange this item for credit or induction cookware. Fortunately, Amazon is more consumer oriented and issied a full refund.

Bad service
The company shipped me the wrong edition of the book. I had already ordered it late using Amazon Prime and now I won't be able to get the correct one by Christmas. I understand that errors happen, but this is particularly inconvenient for me.

Don't Trust This Book!
I picked up this book from the local library so I could cram for the GRE. After taking the practice tests, I began to panic because I was getting so many wrong answers. But then, when I went back to figure out where I went wrong, I found that more than a few of the explanations are dead wrong. I am terrible at math, so I assumed I was just stupid, until I got to test 1, # 15 (I took the tests in reversed order: 3,2,1). I did very well on these types of equations in college, so I was extremely perplexed when I got it wrong. THE EQUATION IN THE ANSWER KEY DOESN'T EVEN MATCH THE TEST!!!! I've had it with this book! Don't buy it!!!!

This is Saves the Day?
This is the worst Saves the Day album. It was almost as if they never really got going. I felt it was loose and was not catching at all. I thought it would be at least half as good as Through Being Cool, but sadly I was wrong. In Reverie did not even come close. In Reverie was by far a big disappointment. The best thing I can say about this album is that it is ok, if you have never heard Saves the Day's previous albums.

RCA Digital Recorder.
Nice little recorder though not good for noisy environments. Works well for low price unit but don't expect fantastic sound - just adequate sound. It's definately worth the price for someone whose use is for lectures or non=professional use.

What a disappointment.
I have read all the Kinsey series, and as another reviewer says, am wondering who really wrote this book. It was a tedious read, seeming to require a written list to keep track of the characters. The ending was incoherent, with all sorts of loose ends left dangling out there. I don't quarrel with the cold case aspect as much as I do with the flipping back and forth in time..what was the purpose of this? The whole book seemed so contrived. I don't know whether I will even read the next in the series.

No wonder not many of these are being resold...
Excellent as excellent can be. Three good reasons to read it: 1. nice descriptions of inter-familiar relationships, and how one sibling's strengths end up being taken as the others weakness; 2. only-in-your-dreams Luke, Rachel's all supportive boyfriend (oh, my, but what a lucky girl!); 3. light though convincing picture of addiction and coming to terms with it. Definitely worth it if you are looking for a complete and fulfilling read about family relationships, and how apparently normal and ordinary relations can get someone as nice as Rachel in trouble from an early beginning, and out of it when she finally perceives herself as her main North. Well-paced character development, makes you change your mind about all of them as you read along. Great read.

Could have been better!
Unfortunately, there is little in the book relating the Greeks to modern life, very few instances of why the Greeks really matter to us. It is an interesting discussion of the Athenians but virtually nothing about the many other Greek City-States, including Sparta, was included, and these other polis are no less important in defining Ancient Greek society as the Athenians. How did the oligarchs and kingdoms abounding in the Aegean two millennia ago affect future history? Is there an element of Sparta in present day governance, or in other aspects of life today? What were the differences in the various Greek States and why did democracy lose out among these various other systems? Is it true that the Athenians virtually argued themselves to death through their democratic processes and were they more successful when they turned, although briefly, to oligarchic rule? This could have been a much better book.

It Dies...
These things are the greatest thing since sliced bread, IF THEY work. Unfortunately, my experience is the first died after five hours use and the replacement unit died after half hour. The first had the picture freeze during playback. After that, it would not recognized any disk. I tried several. The replacement unit audio died after about half hour. As of this writing, I have no unit (except my computer) to finish the movie!I'm not really disgusted. I'm actually kind of sad. I got my daughter a CyberHome some 18 months ago and it still works. When it was running, the thing was a screamer.The biggest open secret on the internet is CyberHome can easily be reprogrammed to be region free. They'll play anything from anywhere on any media. I tried. I have an extensive collection from around the world, including some homemades.You pays your money and takes your chances. I mean if I only had gotten a year, I could deal. At $35 what the hay? Maybe I'll go to somewhere and get a warranty!

Stick on and Stick off easily!!
I have to say that 3M continues to bring out quality and innovative products.I have hooks up on my wall for a year now and still no issues.I use these hooks to hang keys as soon as i walk into the house as well as to hang my bath towel in the bathroom.I have had no issue with them coming off after an hour like others might claim.If you follow the instructions, they will work as advertised.Remember to:1 - Clean the area on the wall to be of any debris on the spot where you will stick the hook.2 - Apply pressure to the sticky for the 10 seconds as indicated on the instructions3 - Let the hook hang out for an hour on your wall before you put any pressure on it.As i stated before...i use them on my wooden door in my bathroom and they have held up just find. They hold up a wet bath towel when just fineUsing these for over a year now and they have made hanging things much easier for me.Buy these with confidence.
