Overall a Great Mount and Inexpensive
Bracket is well built and is a snap to install. Using the leveling bracket (make sure it's level) to mount to wall and mounting bracket to the rear of the LCD TV makes it very easy to hang on the wall. All of the pivot arms work well.

Audio Crack
One listen to Jill, and I was hooked! Not only are the beats on point, but her lyrics touch the soul. I could really relate to her feelings and the situations that she so eloquently described in song. If you haven't heard the CD, do yourself a favor and pick it up.

Worth every penny and then some
I purchased this for squirrel hunting -- figured it didn't cost very much and reviews were good.Let me tell you -- THIS IS AMAZING!Went out squirrel hunting on a cold day. Was able to roll this up so it didn't take up hardly any room in my backpack.Got to my spot, pulled this out, opened the valve to inflate and it was ready. Put it down and then sat for 90 minutes not once getting cold and actually very comfortable.I'd recommend this in a heartbeat to every hunter, or even for hard stadium seating. When you need it it's there, and when you don't it is extremely light and takes up very little room.

Want photographs that really capture your family and vacations? Get this book.
Wow. I have bought a lot of photography books in an effort to improve my pictures - composition, lighting, you name it - but this book blew me away with the simplicity and specificity of it's advice.The entire book is divided into chapters about common situations that you are trying to photograph and gives some simple advice and suggestions about how to better capture it. Obviously not every situation can be covered but what he does cover will inspire you and give you new ideas about how to capture what you see and feel.Sample chapters (How to photograph...):People around a tableThe first day of schoolChristmasA hike in the woodsA landscapeA sunsetYour vacationA monumentYour dogA coupleA baby's faceIf you are the photographer in your family, do yourself, your family and friends a favor and read this book!

Not very durable
After a year of light use the plastic frame deformed and the gears no longer mesh. This happened during the operation where you remove the cork from the screw. If you get one, be sure to buy extra screws and replace as soon as there is any significant resistance to removing the screw from the cork. Perhaps the teflon failed; perhaps it was an extra dense cork. In any case my wine opener has failed after little use when I lifted hard to remove the cork from the screw.

I am a 4.0 engineering major and I found this book to be one of the worst I have come across. I spent more time trying to figure out how the author got from point A to point B in his derivations than I did learning the material. It is not clearly written. Find another book!

Incompetent Supplier
Amazon referred my order to Indoobestsellers. They sent me a cookbook rather than the ordered Windows 7 For Dummies. I sent an inquiry to Indoobestsellers and they responded by asking for the ISBN number on the cookbook so they could assess what went wrong. When I provided that info,they told me to return the wrong book to them and when received, they would send the correct book. I replied as to who would pay for the postage. They replied I would be credited with the postage (they didn't say how or when nor did they provide any specific mailing label instructions). I replied that the best course of action would be for them to send me the book I ordered and include a prepaid mailer for me to return the incorrect book.It has been a week and I have yet to hear from them.

I Wasn't All That Bright to Begin With...
... but I feel even dumber after watching this beautiful, but awful pudding of a movie. My ninth grade history teacher actually told us that this movie would be educational, but the only thing I learned after watching this movie is that the guy who starred in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER has gained a little weight, Ben Affleck is an awful actor, Josh Hartnett will still be an awful actor even after he changes that stupid haircut of his, James King is pretty and that the evil Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor for two reasons: 1, for "oil," which isn't ever explained, and 2, to destroy the romance between the two pilots and the Olive Oyl girl they fight over.Oh and Cuba Gooding Jr. turns in another magnificent performance in his one recurring role in movies -- yelling like a goon into the camera.

Not as good
This record is not as good as the 60 minutes special that I watched a few years back. I found the television show to be very revealing about these kids personalities but it doesn't show on this record. I absolutely fell in love with Natasha (the lead singer) and I was disappointed that she didn't sing more leads. I did like the instrumental songs and thought they had a lot of energy.

Excellent Ultra Wide (and Canon Substitute)
This is the best lens I own, also my favorite. It's built like a tank, has super quiet (and fast) HSM focusing, sharp as a tack, and several hundred dollars cheaper than the Canon 10-22mm.I have a Canon 30D and this lens was the best purchase I made for it. Composing shots can be tricky with such a wide field of view (you need to get really close in order to get an object in your foreground). The 10mm has some noticeable distortion, although it's fine for landscapes -- in fact, I think the distortion makes clouds look phenomenal.I wish it were f/4 throughout the zoom range (f/2.8 would be even better). This lens has an EF mount, so it will work on other Canon film and full-frame bodies (with some heavy vignetting).All in all, a great value. I'm very happy with my copy (pay no attention to the pixel peepers).

False Positive...False Hopes
I took this test after being 5 days late and it read "Pregnant" so I showed the test to my husband and we were so excited! Since it was a 2 pack I took the other test the next morning and it said "Not Pregnant". I went to the doc the next day...not pregnant. My period ended up being 9 days late (very unusual, but whatever), and I got a negative test every day up until the day I got my period, using different brands. Needless to say, I will not be using ClearBlue Easy ever again.

For the price.....
Bought refurbished by Samsung for $112! Can't be happier. If the unit had any problems, Samsung fixed them.The VHS transfer went flawlessly.I have TimeWarner in NYC. Recommend that you use S video for connection between cable box and unit. Not supplied. Cheap 4 ft av cables came with unit No batteries either. Manual was Xerox copy not original.This unit records everything that you can see on your screen.There is one potential problem,not with the unit. You must read the manual to install properly as one has to change settings and imputs etc.If you don't know the difference between an HDMI cable and a component cable , have someone install it for you.My brother saw mine and the price, he is going to order one today.

A Canon crop sensor must
Other reviews above gave me enough details that I bit the bullet and bought this lens.Let me just say that I went to NYC for a day long walk-by-shooting with just this 10-22mm to force myself into really using it, and I do not regret a single cent.I have also used it at parties, for instance shooting kids playing twister from a foot afar close to the ground - the fish-eye does add significant distortion to the faces but the resulting pictures are striking.This is certainly not a walk-around lens in that 22mm is still very wide, but the results are worth carrying it.I use it more frequently than my nifty fifty.

This will be the 3rd 2x4basic work bench when I get it assembled. I like them because they are easy to build and configure to your needs. The first two are configured in different lenghts and widths. One is set up as a narrow reloading bench and the other as a car parts and everything else with a large vise mounted at one end. I plan to build this third bench as a large uncluttered work surface, that has storage underneath.

Written by doctors and includes alot of medical info that is not mainstream in the medical society.

The Giving Tree
I love this book. I remember reading it when I was younger and it just reminded me of how my parents feel about me and my siblings. This tree gives everything that she has to the child that she loves, and wants to keep giving when she has nothing left to give. It is a story of unconditional love. This is one of the best children's books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

The voice of Toto shines alone
Session vocalist and former lead singer of Toto (1986-1989) shines on his first solo album since his 1982 debut. The vocals and vocal harmonies are fantastic but the music at times is a bit too slick and over-produced (even for an AOR/West Coast music fan like myself). His follow-up "3" is far superior.

Poor build quality
Maybe I just got a dud? The middle piece of plastic on the underside broke off after the first time I tried folding the binoculars back up. The rubber end on one didn't turn and when I finally did get it to turn, the rubber cap fell off and the washer underneath it fell off with it.I've never seen such shoddy workmanship. I didn't expect much from a pair of $13 binoculars, but I expected it to at least not fall apart!I'm still trying to figure out the adjustments in order to get a clear view, but why bother if I have to hold all the pieces together for me to use it!

A much anticipated let down
I was really let down. Her series had been one of my absolute favorites and it seemed that she just went for the quick sell. Maybe it was the pressure of coming out in hard back. Also it was far too few pages. One of her earlier novels had a preview of what she had been working on for the Adam Black novel but that was not what she wrote. Please Ms. Moning, a most fervent plea: Try again. I really enjoy your books and know you have got that special something, this just wasn't it...

Think twice before you buy
This book will not teach you how to create gfx for games. It does not teach you how to use any specific graphic program. It will discuss gfx programs, and which tools they provide- without telling you why you need them, and what they are good for. I was looking forward to this book, because I liked the authors spritelib. So, I hoped that the cd would contain some new graphics. In fact it contains some new gfx - but those are not really useful. Don't buy the book. If you really want to have it - make sure you have a look at it in a bookstore first.

Language problems
Some of the other reviews have said that the book shows that the authors obviously have a problem with English. Guys, the problem isn't with English, it's with TRANSACT SQL: the authors of this book obviously don't know it very well. Where these publishers get some of these authors, I'll never know. The code here is formatted stranger than anything I've ever seen. It takes up lots of white space, but it doesn't do much (when it works at all). The explanations are rife with cliches and shallow, pointless commentary. They'd been better off not to have said anything at all. Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to have written a book like this, but you never know about people.

Do Not Buy!!! Spend the extra cash to get something better
I really should have read more reviews before buying this, just like a lot of other people have said the left channel slowly went bad, didn't really notice it on older records but on ones where it certain sounds are separated between the left and right channels it became very obvious. After that it just slowly started to die altogether, trust me spend the extra cash and get something nicer it will be worth it in the end.Also don't come with a place for the ground wire, ended up having to connect it to one of the main screws.

Another Solid Rifftrax Episode
This time the guys from Rifftrax take on Galaxy Invader, a bad sci-fi / horror movie from the 80's. The first half is consistently funny, with many jokes about the white trash rednecks who populate the town that the movie is set in. However, the riffers seem to run out of the steam later on in the film with less jokes. I can't blame them though, as the movie does get pretty boring later on and there really isn't much to joke about. Most of the cheesy stuff does happen earlier in the movie, after all. Still, this one is definitely worth seeing for fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax.

EASports DNF
I am baffled and disappointed. For a racing game you don't have the chance to race very much. Evey car that you are behind will lift to let you past. EASports did seem to know that Frentzen and Alesi switched teams but the fact that Michael Schumacher is world Champion for the second time eludes them. In this game Michael is one of the worst divers on the grid and rarely ever scores a single point. There is no car set up option in normal mode. There is only a (labour intensive)car set-up in the simulation mode. I went back to F1 2000. Don't waste your money.

There are better books on the subject
The main disadvantage of the book is that it does not do what it actually "promises". In order to learn the technique of scoring and interpretation you are constantly referred to Exner's books. Without any of his books on the comprehensive system the book is useless ;-( So it may be a better idea to get the "real thing" (i.e. Exner's handbooks or the workbook).A bit disappointing.

One of the Best
This is my favorite of the Three Kingdoms games. It isn't as complex as the later editions but is definitely an upgrade over the original two. The ability to create your own generals and ruler adds welcome difficulty to the game as well as adding that personal touch if you like to see your own name flash across the screen. Overall, the game is fun to play, complex enough to keep your interest yet not overload you with options and things you have to remember to build up your cities/troops etc. If you are into these types of games, RTK III is definitely one to check out.

How did I miss the sexual revolution?
Graduating from high school in 1967 put me in the midst of the sexual revolution, but being a product of fifties parents and working my way through college, I never got caught up in it despite attending San Jose State, a campus housing a Black Panther Society. How did I miss the fact that The Weathermen and the SDS had at their cord (along with "over-throwing the U.S. government and anniliating the sexual tradition of monogamy) the ideology of Make Love Not War? Allyn has written a book so jam packed with information on the "sexual revolution," a chronological as well as psychological time line of events that has gotten us, believe it or not, closer to the dreamed of equality for men and women of all sexual orientations. It is a must read. I plan to read it again. Now if we, the children of this era, could just work on the "Not War" part.

It's Dark and this DVD is Hot!
Every artist who puts out a DVD, should follow this project's lead. This has everything you could ever ask for. Virtually ALL of the artist videos. Classic live performances. A "real-life" look into the artist life. A short movie that depicts the ultimate presentation of how DMX's soul is at battle between the forces of good and evil to control one man's life. What else could you ask for? DMX - Angel is the perfect package. From the short 24-minute movie, Angel, where DMX tells us from a narrator point of view on his life and how he struggles to stay righteous, to his classic performance at the famous Apollo Theatre. Wouldn't it be great if they put out a DVD exactly like this on Eminem, Jay-Z, even Snoop Dogg? Unquestionably a definate satisfaction for ANY DMX fan. If you're a fan of his music....What are you waiting for? Get up and go cop this!

Tuneful collection of short pieces (easy to intermediate)
Interesting collection of pieces from the 18th-19th centuries, 1/2 page to 2 pages long, which are presented in their original form with only cosmetic editing (no dumbing down/blandizing).Includes lots of well known pieces like a Mendelsson Song Without Words, Tchaikowsky's The Doll's Funeral March, a Mazurka and a Waltz by Chopin, John Blow's Air, a Brahms Waltz, and lots of pieces by well known composers like three of the Bach family, Beethoven, Handel, Hayden, Liszt, Mozart, Schumann and Schubert (also numerous others which are less well known). Probably about half or more of the pieces are ones that I haven't come across before - good for sight reading practice and a bit of variety.An excellent book for beginners in particular, with lots of things of varying difficulty that will keep you busy for a while and give you a taste of lots of composers.

We received this highly useful, entertaining book as a Christmas gift. Traditionally I give my husband the new World Almanac at Christmas, and our daughters decided to augment the practice by adding this book. For information junkies, this book is decidedly a keeper! As you can leaf through it your curiosity will be stimulated, and you will learn something new. From a succinct description of how the electoral college works, to first aid advice for any emergency, to what to look for in a college or graduate school program, this book has it. Highly recommended!

An unexpectedly good flick
This was an Amazon recommendation and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to another low budget movie where the people swear at each other a lot. And though to some extent they do, the array of motely characters kept me interested and the bad guy was really a pretty bad guy. I rate this more highly than the overhyped "Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels".Of course it helps to have such a drop dead gorgeous actress as Aurélie Meriel in a movie. Oh the accent!

most of us humans understand that war is and always has been terrible for lack of many more suitable words.I am not quite sure the motive behind this movie whether to succomb us to such graphic violence or to show us that war is a game with no holds bar at any stake.

Crock Pot handles crack immediately
I and a friend have each owned this crock pot, the handles crack almost immediately. I cant believe the poor engineering of the handles. In fact, after she broke her handles under mild wear, on her first use, I was EXTRA careful, and carefully ported my new pot around by its base only, not even using the handles. However, after leaving the pot on for an 8 hour cook (on keep warm - the lowest setting), and then putting the (Hamilton) supplied rubber band around the top in the appropriate band notches, the handles just crumbled...Ive seen complaints all over the web about handles cracking on crock pots. Someone need to invent a sturdy plastic handle that wont crack so easy.In the meantime, if you like handles on your crock pot, steer clear of this one. They are for display only.

Perhaps the Penultimate
This is a wonderful interpretation of O'Neill's transcendental autobiographical work. The cast is fine, but a less "performed" example of Long Day's Journey into Night does exist. The 1962 film by Sidney Lumet actually succeeds more as a drama and as a glimpse into a tortured reality. It is hard to explain. It's like seeing Shakespeare acted out instead of embraced and performed. This newer cast acts the story. The Lumet cast lives the story. They breathe it. They are not actors cast in a show. They are the O'Neill family. Even the filming itself becomes an active part of the Lumet experience. Is buying this version a mistake? Absolutely not. I would just simply recommend taking a look at the Lumet version before deciding.

I was very happy with this Kitchen Aid peeler for about a year. All of a sudden, it has gone dull on me and I'll have to buy a new peeler, but not a Kitchen Aid.

"Hurt the boys first " potty-simply DANGEROUS
I got this potty for my son and as a first-time mom could not even forsee the bad sides of this potty- first, the hole is so small, that at no time could my son fit both his back and front in it- something was left out. And I tried it since he was 3 months old!!!!Then, it should be truly called "Hurt the boys first" potty- I do not know which smart head came up with the deflector design, but it has SHARP edges and is THIN and it just sticks into the flesh like a razor.Then, as if it is not enough- the deflector does not stay in place, keeps falling down, and I tried sticking it with tape first and threw afterwards, tired of diving after it into the toilet bowl.I do not really know how small the child should be to use this potty- probably still in the womb, so I do not know what use to make of it- totally a piece of dangerous trash.

As I listen to it now, I'm still in awe of its power.At Thrash Metal's peak, when bands moved past the fastest-riff-ever and gothic tones to more meaningful topics and much more mature music, PWYP stands out in a small cluster of releases by an even smaller cluster of artists that to me, truly defined the power of the music and the message it could convey. I miss those days.

Never Again
I loved all of the Clash of the Titans and expected this movie to be somewhat in the small ball park. After everyone recommending this movie to me I finally caved and ordered it. I was extremely disapointed. Great war scenes but the story line needed help.

Garbage
No way will this handle 1000 watts at 17' ! Normally I read reviews, for some reason this slipped by. Wire is 8 ga if they include shielding! WASTE of $$$$$$$$. rca cables are junk as well. There are much better quality kits at this price. junk!!!

Great little play house!
This was pretty easy to put together. Tip: use a hammer to gently tap the pieces in place. My daughter loves this. We put her chair there and she has taken all kinds of stuff. She will take her snack plate in there and eat. Its so cute and a good buy. Dont feel like you have to spend alot of money buying all the extra accessories. Theres plenty of toys already in your house.

Steps to inner freedom - learning to live
the author has rendered a tremendous service to the reader by his honest and in-depth writing on the subject of Inner Passivity.The crippler Passivity has kept more people in bondage and robbed them of enjoying a happy and successful life.If only Peter Michaelson could hold teaching sessions around the country to get this VITAL message out to those that may not have the opportunity of read his book.The Phantom of the Psyche not only helps the reader to look within for self discovery, but to also look outward at others in a much more understanding way.Inner Passivity needs to be exposed and explained, this book has done thatI highly recommend it.

I've read better ...
I think Bobos in Paradise was much better in handling the subject matter. For wittier writing, try anything by George Carlin or Dennis Miller.

Quality
I have purchased 6 of these, one for myself and the rest as gifts. After seeing them at a local retail store I came home and orderd them here at half price! So far they are have been durable as I work at a hospital and have to extend the cord to swipe my bage, sometimes hundreds of times a day.

Megadeth hits paydirt.
I really like Megadeth's new album "Risk". Dave Mustaine's music writting has never been better. I think that the use of violin's and hard rock guitars sound good. Let's all face the fact that heavy metal and speed metal has change to suit radio play. The guitar solo on the song "Time: The End" really rocks. I also like the song "I'll Be There" hopefully it will get some radio play. I go to alot of sporting events I'm sick of the music that gets played at them. I know the song "Crush 'Em" will be a nice change to hear when my team scores. If I hear "We are the champions" or that "Hey" song again I'll blow up. If you want my advice pick this album up and play it loud!

too masculine
My husband bought this for me on accident (long story). The scent is too masculine for my tastes. Smells just like the Light Blue men's cologne. If you actually go for the unisex scent, save your money on this and go buy the CK One or imitation.

Another waste of time..
Basically this book has not given any values to a hobby so loved and played all over the world. A game that explores imagination, promotes arithematics, writing and literacy cannot be more bad then doing drugs and guns.This a game and pursuit, and like violent computer games who has their fair share of blame when it comes to teenagers going on a shooting spree, cult worship, satanism has been linked time again to RPGs.Whether as matured adults or teenagers, moderation is important along our education, and so is guidance. IF your kids is doing RPGs and you have no idea..it is bad..if they are reading it and you are not providing guidance and dismissed it straight away, they might even go underground and become more rebellious, and this is bad...If something is not of your taste then don't do it, but dont kill people because they dont share the same vision as you.

Ugh!
This is a good movie...for people with double-digit I.Q.'s, and the attention-spans of three year-olds.

Crazy and totally wonderful
A thoroughly wonderful movie that had me laughing in no time. Melanie Griffith is outstanding in this zany story. Highly recommend

Funnier, better soundtrack than HSM
I like the High School Musical productions, especially their choreography and the lead actor/actress. That being said, "The American Mall" is funnier, sexier, and has a much stronger soundtrack top to bottom. Nina Dobrev is absolutely magnetic as Ally, and Autumn Reeser's portrayal of Madison. (the period is for extra chic) is wicked excellent. The film has a natural look, but uses certain fantastical musical pieces to explore the characters' inner emotions. These fantasy elements work very well, especially "Survivor".The film explores the key decisions people need to consider right after they leave high school. Issues of dreams, reality, faith, hope, trust, money, justice, forgiveness all come into play. The movie keeps it real, despite the fantasy departures), and works effectively because of that approach.

an amazingly beautiful collection by an incredible writer
James Tiptree, Jr. (the pen name for Alice Sheldon) excelled at imaginative plots, intriguing science, and most of all, lyrical writing. Her explorations of gender, biology and science were vivid and controversial, and she won all of science fiction's major awards. This short story collection was out of print for many years, and has now been revised with the author's original notes. It is a must-have for science fiction fans, feminists, anthroplogists, and, well, everyone. This is one of my favorite authors, and I truly love this book.

Pleasant Surprise!
I have never reviewed a book before, but i felt the need to review this one. I really enjoyed this book. I'm especially glad to learn that there's another before it and possibly a sequel. It had a nice combination of intriguing plot, interesting characters and steamy scenes. It made me want to read more from this author.

I love this book
Don Middleberg's book is wired PR genius. It's easy to read and straight to the point. He has many great tips on what the 21st century company should be doing to protect and promote a favorable image. There is no doubt that Mr. Middleberg knows his stuff!! Starting out my career as a "traditional" public relations person, Winning PR in a Wired World, makes it that much easier for me to grasp Cyber PR and know when to utilize it in a digital economy.Thanks Mr. Middleberg. I am waiting for your next book.

This is part of a boxed set.
This is not a freestanding album nor should it be sold as such - it is CD no. 1 in a boxed set. (I own the set.) See the purple "1" on the cover.

Only good for someone who knows about trucks already
This book only has sample questions with answers for the ASE and hints to help you. It never actually explains how different components and systems work. It's only good if you already know about these types of vehicles, otherwise you can't even answer the questions.

Good for the price....
Like many other owners have said, it really must be "adjusted" at a bike shop for optimal use. The front brake takes some adjusting to sit just right and I personally had to rip off the plastic cover by the rear gears to keep the chain from catching, but after all this, I am still happy with the bike, seeing that others would have cost me $600 and up. I've taken this bike down trails at 35mph, jumping every bump on the way down, and as long as you keep the chain taught in a high gear and tighten all the bolts down well, you will have no problem. If it can handle the trails that I take it down in IL and MO, it should do just fine for most riders. I saw simalarities in the design of this bike to some Ironhorse models ranging from $1k to $3k, and that did it for me. Here's a pic of the bike in Shilom Springs State Park.

Slowish, White LEDs bright and distracting
OK, to be fair, I've only had it a day. The backup software is so-so, the drive is kinda slow and the LEDs that show functioning of the drive are totally distracting in anything other than a brightly lighted room.Everything about it seems a bit clunky, so I am only going to use it for weekly backups and still put all my images and data on Gold CDRs until I can afford a proper RAID.At least it is quiet...Bought it very cheap as a tool to migrate from XP to Vista, so if it dies in a short period, it will have served its purpose...

58 Minutes Run Time is a good indicator
Jenifer is a DVD that has a run time of 58 minutes. It is 58 minutes of my life that I will not get back. There is much that could have been done with the story to add some surprise or twist, but it is less than a B horror movie. Save your time and money. This is something that may have been alright for Tales From The Crypt or something...58 minutes that I will never get back, but glad that it was not any longer since there was no surprise twist that made the movie worth watching in the remotest of ways.

Very good book
If anyone has trouble drawing hands, I definitely would suggest this book. My older sister, (a very good artist, by the way) purchased it at amazon.com used. While she thinks a very few of the hand's positions look unnatural, she is impressed with the book.I've had trouble with hands, so I'm eager to dive into this book. Her other books have always helped me. By the way, on reason some people have trouble with Lee Hammond's techniques are simply because they don't buy the supplies she lists! These supplies are very important towards improving your work. The money will be worth it. In fact, I would suggest ALL of Lee Hammond's books. I've seen most of them. If you interested in drawing people, I would suggest How to Draw Life-like Portraits from Photographs the most of all her people books. It covers more than her other book, has everything. The results are amazing. And the techniques you learn here will help you in all future drawing!!!

Very funtional, but volume knob gets lost making item useless.
I had a Sony armband radio that I used at the gym for several years. I travel extensivly for business and use the radio several times a week. I felt that I got more than my share from this older radio but it gave up on me, so I bought a new one about 3 months ago. Sony has changed the unit- made it a bit smaller and redesigned it. Same basic funtionality, but updated sizing and buttons changed a bit. Had the new one for about 60 days and the volume knob fell off. Couldn't find the knob, so I ordered another- thinking it was just a fluke. Well, I've had the 2nd new one about 30 days and the knob has again come off. I have Ipod's, but I like to be able to tune to the tv in the gym when working out. Won't buy another one of these. Sound is good, funtionality is good (although setting up preset stations is not as user friendly as it could be). But without a volume knob, it is useless.

Wonderful, wonderful book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As an avid reader of the New York Times, it provided a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at how some of the major events of the 20th Century were captured and recorded in the "Newspaper of record." Not only was it a fabulous account of NYT, Max Frankel's personal account of his life read like a novel--I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. If you appreciate current events, the media, and history--you'll love this book.
