4 | card captor sakura v.1 | tape was in exellent shape. could have been a little faster, but my 10 year old loved it anyway. |
4 | Can't Imagine Not Having the Battery Powered Engine | Word to the wise ... use a new battery. The engine has a hard time pulling the coal car on the hills without a strong battery.My nephew loved playing with the train set. I purchased the figure 8 set, along with the bay bridge and some additional tracks ... and I still wanted more! He seemed to be thrilled with what he had.He even used his Lego cars to drive on the ground over the railroad tracks. I can't wait until Christmas so I can buy him some additional sets to connect to this one. |
4 | Wait a little | My advice: Wait untill your child is familiar with the Manual controls, than get a battery-powered set/train.I'm pretty much HOOKED on Thomas! This is pretty cool if your bored with the do-it-yourself thing. I advice a strong battery. You can add expansion packs too. Overall 5 stars |
2 | Good toy but not awesome | This is a nice toy. My biggest gripe with this toy is that the tracks not fit well on a carpeted floor. The track links also don't join perfectly but I am guessing that is to allow overall track to be of different shapes. Just seeing the train makes rounds and rounds gets boring after a while but making different shapes of tracks is definitely enjoyable. |
2 | personal message. | I recieved one of my favorite childhood books "Tommy at the Grocery Store" and quickly opened it. Everything was fine in the book other than a personal message written inside. i dont know if it was written in the description when i bought it or not i did not pay that much attention i was just excited to find the book. |
2 | Another Person In My Shoes | Although this book was not what I expected; I found it to be a great book for young people just starting to learn about their special gift- being a person with a congenital heart defect. I was actually born with a heart condition as well, and I found it interesting to hear another person's point of view on growing up with the challenges that heart patients go through. I found it interesting to hear someone else talk about their experiences before and after undergoing surgery. As I was growing up I always felt that I was the only one who had to go through with the things I had to; such as hospital stays, surgery, and a scar down the center of my chest. Reading Melissa's story made me realise that their are other special people who have gone though similar experiences. |
0 | More NT Trash | The entire book is useless. The concept behind the book is useless. The author obviously knows nothing about real computing. If you are in need of good reading check out The Unix Philosophy. |
4 | Satie plus Albéniz plus! | This 3CD set is one that I play often, especially Cerdaña and Baigneuses au soleil.Sévérac's music is more virtuosic than Satie's, but is reminiscent of The Velvet Gentleman, nonetheless. Sévérac evokes the music of Languedoc, his home region in the South of France. He was a pianist, and he studied with Isaac Albéniz.Aldo Ciccolini is the perfect performer for this music. I have heard other performers, notably Jean-Jol Barbier. But none with current recordings can touch Ciccolini for Sévérac. There is a uniquely French lightness of touch and a Gallic nuance that are very pleasing.Sévérac also wrote songs. They are not profound or particularly original, but charming? -definitely.Deodat de Severac: Melodies et Chansons Vol. 1This CD features Michele Command and Gabriel Bacquier, and is well worth the horrific price. |
0 | NO STARS for OTT-LITE | I received two OTT-LITE lamps (Key Largo and Hampton)directly from OTT-LITE. Right out of the box one of them did not work!! When I got in touch with Customer Service I found out that I HAD TO PAY THE FREIGHT CHARGE TO RETURN THE DEFECTIVE LAMP!! I'm sending both back. When I asked why their return policy is not made clear up front, I was told it wasn't in their interest to dissuade customers when they "rarely" have these issues. |
0 | Bulb: 10,000 hours; transformer: 250 hours | The bulb is rated for up to 10,000 hours, but the transformer only lasted about 250 hours. The transformer is part of the cord and is not replaceable. Ott-Lite won't respond to my e-mail inquiries and doesn't list transformers as a replacement part. I tried a variety of sources for an 18w. transformer that could be modified to accommodate the lamp, but the cheapest I could find was about $30.00. I bought a brand new Hampton Bay table lamp (similar to the Ott-Lite lamp) at Home Depot for $20.00. If your Ott-Lite ceases to work you'll probably assume that the bulb must be replaced and spend $15.00 or so for a new bulb, only to discover that it's not a bulb problem. So you end up with a lamp that won't work and two bulbs you can't use on any other fixture. Don't buy Ott-Lite products...and exchange any Ott-Lite gifts you might receive. |
0 | Stay Away | Years and years ago (probably before amazon.com was born) I bought this Ott Lite. It has been a great glare free, easy on the eyes, reading light. Finally the bulb burned out. So I've tried replacing it. The first replacement produced about as much light as a night light, not a reading light. The second replacement worked but lasted 13 months (I calculate much less than 1000 hours). My opinion, these lamps used to be good, but for now stay away. |
0 | Overpriced Junk | As a crafter, scrapbooker, etc., I need good lighting, with a magnifying lens, so I paid the big bucks for the Ott Light Floor lamp with magnifier attached. Within a few months, the magnifying lens fell off. It had a screw-on attachment which was made of vinyl and could not hold up the weight of the lens. The vinyl threads are stripped, so I now have a lens lying on my work-table.I had only used the light a short time, and infrequently, when this happened.Recently, the lamp fell over (vacuum cleaner cord caught it) on a soft, carpeted surface and broke at the connection point. Now I have a lamp lying on the floor. I can't think of any purchase I have regretted more than this one - this is the most over-priced junk you need to stay away from!!!! |
0 | Ott-lite was used and overpriced | The ott-lite I bought was supposed to be new but was obviously used before. These are expensive bulbs and I was not getting the quality of what I wanted from the company. |
0 | Ottlite - a Made in China piece of junk | Bought an Ottlite desk lamp model N30NKA-CA thirteen months ago. Even though I hadn't used it very frequently it's now a defunct piece of scrap metal. The on-off switch bracket broke and the switch has disappeared into the inside of the base. OttLite's customer "service" department is about good as their lamps which is useless. DO NOT buy OttLite's junk products. |
0 | OTT LITE Broke . Poor Custermer relations | My Husband, bought me an OTT LITE it fell apart , so I contact company in Tampa, and they say too bad , if you want replacement part it $6.95 + shipping! My husband paid $70 for this Chinese Junk, less than a year ago, I had it gently clamped to my quilting frame, the clamp just disindegrated, and they want to charge me $7 + shipping, when we already paid a USA made price, for a piece of Chinese Junk! It made in china, and shipped to company in Tampa.I got runaround for 2 weeks, when I called the company, I emailed pictures, they claim Engineer stated that the clamp was not defected. The Lamp sat for 4 months, not moved, and I found a piece of it , on the floor. It just broke apart! The rest of my overpriced ott lights are all getting returned , to store. |
0 | Ballast bad | I had an OTT lite die also so I'm not a big fan although they're pretty effective when they do work. I don't trust them unfortunately. |
0 | Bulb Eater | I purchased an Ottlite Floor Lamp several years ago. Yhe light was for reading and worked fine. The problem is blown Bulbs. I have reached the point where I am looking for an adapter that will let me use a more standard Florescent bulb. If I can't find a way to change the socket, I'm afraid the lamp is heading for the scrap heap. I can't afford to keep replacing the bulbs. |
0 | Ott Lite floor standing 18Watt light | My wife purchased this light to help with knitting and reading. After a couple years, the top cover over the lamp appears to have hardened and become brittle because of the warmth of the lamp. As a consequence, when you grasp the lamp to turn it on, you flex the top which apparently has finally cracked causing a piece to break off. This could cause a shock hazard.I contacted OttLite for a replacement top cover and they do not carry spares for that part. Hmm. I get to fix with duct tape or some other means.I don't think much of a company with inadequate spare parts for their lamps. No help there. Won't be buying another product from Ott Lite. |
1 | Lamp quit after 2 years | I have an OttLite desk lamp at work. It quit working earlier this week, I thought it was the bulb but no replacement bulbs are working. I believe it is the transformer in the lamp itself. I liked the lamp while it worked but dying after 2 years of mild use it unacceptable. |
1 | Only slightly better than Bocelli's Verdi. | Don't even bother reading the reviews, just download some of the sound clips of this recording. Cura's voice is so artificially created, that even a casual listener can tell that it's not natural. He already has a pronounced wobble, and only occasionally sings what's actually written. Phrases are almost always cut off prematurely, the sign of someone not in full control of his instrument. I can't speak for his acting abilities, as some others here have, because they don't matter here. What matters here is sound, and what's here isn't great. |
2 | Disappointing after his Puccini CD | I was favorably impressed with Cura's debut recital of Puccini arias (recorded June 1997), and on the strength of that favorable impression I bought his Verismo arias CD (recorded July 1999) and his Verdi arias CD (recorded Feb. 2000). I found both disappointing; neither is up to the standard of the Puccini disc. What is alarming is that I believe there has been audible deterioration in his voice in the short period of only two and three years between recording the Puccini disc and recording the next two. He is singing heavy roles usually, and advisedly, taken on by tenors later in their careers (e.g., Samson, Otello), and I hope this promising tenor won't sing himself out prematurely.In addition, the Verdi arias CD gives poor measure for a full-priced disc, only 11 arias at 54 minutes timing (both the Puccini and Verismo CD's are over 70 minutes). |
0 | Deliberate fraud | If you have to watch this rubbish, check it out online or at the library, don't waste your money. The computer animation (cartoon) is bunk. Look where they put the back wound on their cartoon and then find the color photo of JFK's shirt at maryferrel.org--There's where the back wound was (over 5 down from the collar)and how could a bullet enter that far down on the man's back and exit his throat.ABC cuts Maclom Kildoff's press conference reply to a question where he answer's,"..It was a simple matter, Tom, of a bullet right through the head..." But ABC cuts the film before Mr. Kildoff points to his right temple, indicating a shot from the front.Isn't it strange that there have been no documentries on the JFK assassination that expose the "Single Bullet Fraud" on any main-stream tv channels!?!? What are they afraid of? Buy "The Murder of JFK: A Revisionist History" dvd instead.The Murder of JFK: A Revisionist HistoryThe Murder of JFK: A Revisionist History |
1 | Too much slapstick not enough kung fu | I was interested in these movies because I did'nt think that Gordon Liu could appear in two bombs in one package but I was wrong. These two films are strickly heavy into comedy with few fight scenes. But there is one positive to this package and that is the final combative scene between Gordon Lui and Lo Lei in Fist and Guts was pretty good, but the price for two movies is not worth one good fight. |
4 | Powerful Massager! | I didn't purchase mine here at Amazon but will when this power horse wears out. This does the job wonderfully. Has two speeds ,the low one is powerful in it's own right' but the high does some serious work on relaxing those muscles etc. Great machine! |
4 | Great Massager!! | Both my husband and I have some back and neck problems and I went on line to find a massager similar to the one our Chiropractor uses. I found this one on line and read the reviews and decided to place an order. I must say we are well pleased with the massager and think anyone looking for one would be too!! |
4 | Maxi rub | I had bought my first Maxi Rub, the kind my chiropractor used and told me to get. It lasted for over 20 years. This one is lighter, and also has two speeds. It really helps to relieve pain and stiffness in my back. |
2 | Fair to Partly cloudy. | My old one wore out so I had to purchase a new one. This Maxi-Rub is not as powerful as the older one, not even close. |
3 | Can't beat the price! | Originally I had registered for Baby Einstein's Learning Seat and then the Kick and Play, both of which, are much more expensive than the Safari Bouncer. But after repeated trips to BRU I decided to register for this one as it was a lot cheaper and not so loud in color design. (Although, I know babies like primary colors I wanted something that would mesh well sitting on our living room floor.) Not only is it very cute but it is perfect for snoozing. It is the one item that I could not live with out (besides a boppy) when my son was born. He would fall asleep and stay asleep for hours at a time. Now that he is getting older I could see where a more expensive and more interactive bouncer might be useful but my little guy doesn't seem to mind. I hardly ever use the vibrate mode but the chair is designed so that you can use your foot to bounce the chair as fast or as softly as you see fit which has come in handy. |
4 | Great seat | I have been very happy with this bouncer. It is a wonderful specially for newborns or smaller babies, because of the way is cradles the baby. Mine has been washed several times and is still in great shape, seems to be very durable. Doesn't have all the lights and sound effects, but who needs those anyway. |
2 | not so great | I wrote a good review about this chair when I first bought it. I wrote that our baby loves the mobile and the vibration. After 2 months of having this chair the mobile kept popping out of the slots and the heavy mirror that is attached hit our baby in the head leaving a mark. The vibrator started making this high pitched squeal after a while and we couldnt stand it when it was on. Also the blanket that is attached seems nice until it gets dragged on the floor and it picks up every bit of hair or dust on the floor. So then you don't want to put it on your baby because it is all full of lint. The one good thing about this chair is that it is alot deeper than most. Our baby stayed pretty snug in this as apposed to another chair that we had with a really straight stiff back. I think that with the next baby we have I will spend an extra 20 dollars and get a better chair |
1 | The Ocean Wonders Bouncer is much better | I registered for this bouncer due to all the good reviews it received on here. I am a bit disappointed in it. I have 4 bouncers and this is my least favorite. The only thing I do like is it is comfortable for my son to sit in. The downfalls are:*The toys are attached by a small piece of velcro. Once I start bouncing him or he bounces himself, they fly off and hit him. Or they are always falling off and getting lost. They should be attached like the Linkadoos.* The blanket needs to be removeable. It's useless in the summer and just drags on the floor.*The mirror swings too close to him when he is lightly bouncedHe is so much happier in his Ocean Wonders bouncer I had to buy for him to have a bouncer at work. |
4 | We love it | My wife and I no longer need to take turns holding the newborn while we eat dinner. With the baby in the bouncer, we can eat at the same time. It's effortless to bounce with a spare foot, too. The vibrate setting is just right, and doesn't burn through batteries either.I think the animals on the bar could be better, but they're fine. My wife thinks it could be easier to get him out of the seat, and that it's a little hard to move around without picking it up. (But: maybe that stability is a feature.) But these are minor concerns - we give it 5 stars. |
3 | The good and bad... | The good: The baby likes it... while the vibration seems strong to me, the baby doesn't seem to mind. Good bouncy effect (better than a rocking effect, at least according to my daughter). Good price, cute fabric, washes easily in the washing machine.The bad: Hate the fact that the legs stick out. I and my toddler have stubbed toes and tripped over the legs on a number of occsions. Also, it's difficult to change the battery without removing the baby and a portion of the fabric from the seat (Ideally, I would prefer to change the battery without even taking the baby out of the seat.) |
1 | Don't Buy This Bouncer! | Although I fell in love with the adorable animal prints on the fabric of this bouncer, I would not recommend it to anyone because of the position of the seat. It is at such a steep angle that our son slides to the bottom of it even when strapped in. He can't stand to be in it. His feet have nothing to rest on and even I would find this uncomfortable. Our baby (now 11 weeks) has always been average in size for his age so we know its not him. Also we have put him in several other bouncers that our friends' own and he loves them all. All of them have gentle angles where the baby is slightly elevated. The only way he will stay in it is if we put 3 or 4 blankets down in the seat so he is more propped up and doesn't slip. Also the animals above on the bar are at such a wierd angle that he can't really enjoy them. I would NOT recommend this badly designed piece to anyone. |
2 | Poor Nancy | Poor Nancy...mom gets pregnant and dad is apparently too macho to handle things in her absence. So she's pressed into service - has to learn to cook and clean.In spite of the uber-inequality present in this book, I find it a strangely good read. I actually pull it out now and then when I need inspiration for my spring cleaning. It's not only a fictional book; it includes actual cleaning instructions. Much of it is out of date - does anyone still sprinkle their clothes? - but nevertheless, if you want to learn how to make hospital corners, this is your book. |
4 | Taming Your Gremlin � Richard D. Carson | A little book on a big topic, Taming Your Gremlin, by Richard Carson, is a practical guide to overcoming barriers to your success. The gremlin is used as a metaphor for that voice of doubt we so often encounter when facing a new challenge. Carson takes readers through the steps they can follow to pursue their dreams in spite of their fears.His formula of simply noticing, choosing and playing with options, and being in process, is reinforced throughout the book. Carson relates common scenarios encountered through his many years of counseling practice with his patients. The scenarios are oh so familiar!This book is a quick read on a topic that can change how you relate to the fears associated with taking risks. Each chapter builds on the earlier ones. In the end, the reader knows more about themselves and has tools to tame their voice of doubt. |
1 | Very disappointing | I've been working in the personal and professional development arena for the past 7 years and this book has been recommended to me many times. I finally decided to read it because limiting beliefs are a common theme with many of my clients.I don't get it!It's not just that the gremlin metaphor gets taken to the extreme, it's that the promised method for "getting out of my own way" was nowhere to be found! When I finished the book, it felt as if there were a few chapters missing.Carson goes way too far in describing how to identify your gremlins and even visualize them but doesn't go into enough depth on moving past and eliminating them.I'd recommend this book only to someone who isn't sure what is holding them back and hasn't yet identified their limiting beliefs. |
4 | Excellent!!!! | One of the best books I have ever read. I think this is the kind of stuff we should be taught when we are very young. |
1 | Taming Your Gremlin | This was not as innovative as I had hoped, but is cute. Nothing new to grab my attention. |
1 | Don't judge a book by its cover | I wish I would have listened to my gremlin before ordering this book. I thought the cover of the book was pretty neat and that it would prove to be an amusing interesting book based on that and the sample pages. My gremlin tried to warn me that it was probably going to be just another book I'd end up being sorry I bought, but I wouldn't listen to him! Well, it turns out he was right! The best and only thing about this book that I liked was the cute cover; it was all downhill from there. I give it two stars because it you can wade through the poor writing, and the gross examples he sometimes provides (like his teenage ... while looking up a cheerleader's skirt) then you might find some things that will help you; like deep breathing, mindfulness (living in the moment) etc. But there are plenty of better written books about these things and there is nothing new or dramatic in this book to make it worth the hype it gets by so many other reviewers here. |
1 | Stay out of the way | I read this on a friend's suggestion. It was ok. Just a little too simple for me and the constant reference to the gremlin every few sentences was kind of irritating. I didn't like visualizing a persons gremlin as the same character all the time, never changing. I just don't believe that, I think it would evolve as we lived our lives and changed.I thought it was a little too simple and I didn't see any real research or fact that backed up the statements so I wasn't confident in the writer's claims. Add that to the fact that most of the subjects were male as were most of the gremlins. I didn't feel like the book was gender-neutral enough to help me. Maybe if I were a man it would have resonated more.It is however a simple read. It's not my style of book though I'm sure it is useful to some people. |
1 | Self Help Always Works -- (When You Do It Yourself and in your own way) | Self-help is the ONLY thing that works, but there's no substitute for finding your OWN path (not this or any author's) and pursuing it in your own way. |
2 | No Mention of Zen? | If you think this book on how to control the dominating, socially-conditioned voices in your head might be useful, but want to find the real think search 'Zen', "Buddhism' in the search bar. You are sure to find something more substantial for your money to 'get yourself out of the way". |
2 | A little bit lightweight | This book has some great insights into getting past your ego blocks and old personality limitations.The presentation is very light hearted and "popular" using cartoon style graphics that would be at home in a children's book.Nonetheless there are some real nuggets of insight into spiritual growth, even for a reasonably self aware person. |
3 | It worked for me | I'm no expert but I really liked this book. The first chapter hit a home run for me. I wish I had read it 10 years ago. For me, the rest of the book was just okay...but who knows which part of the book will be helpful to you? |
3 | Perfect replacement | I have a kettler ping pong table at work and only needed the net and not the posts but it fit perfectly. hard to find replacement pieces. |
1 | Stick with the clamp grip posts. | My advice is to stick with the clamp grip posts so they can be used on any table without any problems or having to make a home made adjustment just to make it fit. |
0 | Caution, the post is plastic | The post is very weak. It's made of plastic. The picture and review rate are misleading. Don't buy, don't buy. |
4 | Easy on & off | This net is perfect for those of us that don't have a permanent spot for the table. It is very easy to take on & off the table. No screws to turn. No clamps. The design keeps the net taut with a minimum of hardware. I have had my table for over ten years and am on my second net, which is pretty good durability. |
2 | Best I can find | I love laptop keyboards (good ones, that is.) This is the closest and best I can find to a laptop-style flat keyboard for my desktop. It's nice and flat, with short key travel (but not too short.)The only problem is that the frame is perfectly rigid, and thus hard on the fingers. Many laptops have a slight flex to the whole surface... most people probably think it's a bad thing, but I find it cushions your finger pecks just enough to make it more comfortable to use. This doesn't have that flex, so sometimes my fingertips hurt after a long typing session. I wish I could just "type lighter", but when I try I find it hard and I'm not sure why... something about this keyboard just isn't conducive to that. |
4 | Excellent Basic Keyboard | This keyboard comes highly recommended from someone who has broken his fair share.I was looking for a no-frills keyboard which will take constant use, has a decent tactile response and doesn't involve batteries or radios. This one fits the bill perfectly. In particular this one has a standard key layout without odd arrow key arrangements, and has only a small inobtrusive row of special function (mute, e-mail, www, etc) keys. I was a little nervous about how well the "laptop style" keys would hold but, but a few weeks of constant abuse haven't slowed this keyboard down at all. As usual, logitech knows what they're doing. |
3 | Good basic keyboard | I bought this to replace a broken Compaq keyboard and it is a very close match. This unit works great and it is small. Nothing fancy here just the essentials. If I had anything negative to say about it would be that the hot keys aren't programmable. They are evidently set by the device driver. |
3 | Good...But needs improvement | This is great keyboard. The keys are just wonderful. However there are just a few pros and cons:Pros:Good style of key.Vary sleek lookingHot buttons work with vistaWell pricedCons:A little bigger than what I expected.No whist restSharp Plastic make the keyboard look cheapNo volume control for the hot buttons.Overall a great keyboard. If your like me and hate typing on raised button keyboard then look no further. But if you feel have more money to spend go and key a wireless keyboard. But really this keyboard is really good! |
2 | Excellent, But Not Good For Heavy Gamers | I purchased this keyboard less then three months ago. I am a heavy user, spending 15+ hours a day at my computer, both working and gaming. As a work keyboard, I have no complaints; it is a sleek, low profile, compact keyboard with good key feel. But as a heavy gamer, I have destroyed this keyboard. I have not only worn the letters off of five of the keys, but I also wore off the texture on those keys. In addition, while those keys still work, there action is a little different then the surrounding keys.I am not sure if I somehow exceeded the manufactures recommended usage for this keyboard, and I would hate to mislabel it as inferior, I just want to let people know that if key wear is a problem you have, then this is not the solution. |
1 | This is an FYI, rather than a movie review | Although one of my favorites, Jacqueline Lovell, is listed as the star in this little romp, she is a "2 minute cameo" that was filmed in her home by husband, Edward Nyahay. Because I loved her so much in HIDEOUS I made an effort to check this out by contacting her.Forced to give it a rating, I gave it two stars simply because I resented being led to believe Lovell was a major part of this project. On the other hand, if 'walking dead' movies is your style, give it a go and let the rest of us know if it's worth the time and price. |
1 | We've heard this before... | I guess we can thank Sarah Brightman for this deluge of pop-opera/classical crossover artists mixing sopranos, tenors, new age electronics with pop flourishes. But this just rates as a lame copy, as good a singer as Mr. Cura is. I've never heard of the female before, but she should really come up with her own gimmick. |
2 | Sort of . . . | This can _only_ be mounted (attached) to the wall, contrary to what the Features say: "Can be mounted on a ceiling, under a counter or on a wall". It would be very difficult to attach it to a vertical surface and also flush against a fixed upper horizontal surface (e.g. against the ceiling or against the counter bottom) due to the close proximity of the upper mounting hole to the top of the rack. The distance between the top of a drill and the center of the drill bit is larger and will limit how close the rack can be mounted to the horizontal surface.That may be why the picture shows a non-fixed upper horizontal surface (shelf) that could be added after the rack is mounted to the wall.With that said, the unit is sturdy and clean looking. I'll be replacing the supplied wall anchors with more robust connectors. Three stars due to the anchors and misleading (to me at least) description. |
4 | Metal Glass Rack. | Very sturdy and looks better than wood racks. Easy to install and bought one for my brother as he like it so well.. |
1 | not om yoga FAST YOGA !!! | i love yoga and am welling to try new styles of yoga I had borrow this DVD from a studio I was not happy - i guess I like to take my time with yoga and really feel everything ! I have done yoga only at the studio with a group and i wanted to take my practice home So I thought this DVD would help well it wasn't helpful they rushed everything it wasn't even POWER YOGA! They didn't let you enjoy the breathing or letting you stay in poses they had a like 3 ppl and the teacher and they went so fast! Also the meditation was NOT meditation it was this FAST 2min breathing and then they moved on!!! I wouldn't pay for this DVD |
1 | Not for beginners! | There is way too much talking and detailed explanations. If you're looking for a quick yoga exercise, this DVD is not for you. |
0 | Horrible | Just horrible, you don't get a good yoga practise every segment is so short that just when you start to warm up it is over. |
4 | Fascinating document of the 70's New York loft jazz scene | This is fascinating 3CD document of the 1970's loft jazz scene in New York and a bargain. It's full of gripping, wild and swinging performances by all-stars of free jazz (Anthony Braxton, Sam Rivers, Henry Threadgill, Sunny Murray, Barry Altschul, Khan Jamal, Randy Weston, Dave Burrell, David Murray, Marion Brown, Oliver Lake, Andrew Cyrille, Julius Hemphill, Olu Dara, Roscoe Mitchell, Don Moye, Leo Smith and many others, including Stanley Crouch of all people). It is newly back in print, but who knows for how long...? If you are not up for the full 3CD set, a sampler can be purchased inexpensively (called Jazz Loft Sessions). |
3 | If you just want to enjoy a great read, here's your book. | At a time when book publishers are putting out way too many of the same things - international espionage, plucky heroines triumphing over romantic adversity, murder mysteries, deep dark intrigue, etc. - this book is a breath of fresh air.It simply tells a good story that needs no plot twists, no obfuscation, no red herrings. Its strengths are its characters, its setting, and its straightforward story, all of which draw you in from the beginning.I found myself looking forward during the day to getting back to the book in the evening, and I hated to see it end, and books that have that effect on me are few and far between! If Raleigh's got a sequel in the works, I'm ready for it. |
1 | Get what you pay for ... | Cheap. It served a purpose, briefly. The batteries run down in about one hour and you have to remove the device to replace them. Buy a better one. |
1 | Not the Best | Tried putting this on my truck and could not really get all the bubbles out and yeah it is removable, along with the Red Ram emblem too, paint transfered to my window.Not exactly what I expected. |
1 | Professional Guide's Manual | Unable to tell from the title whether this is the pamphlet or book by George L. Herter. If you are a fan of Mr. Herter's writing style then you will enjoy either. His descriptions of the products sold under the Herter name are boastful and exaggerated to the point of parody. If you are looking for equipment advice or outdoor/camping information either of these publications are biased and dated. |
2 | General use guidebook | I have used this book several times since moving to Oregon four years ago and have been unpleasantly surprised on more than one occasion. Although it does provide a large scale review of hikes in the pacific northwest, it fails to give accurate and reliable directions. In locating trailheads, I have found the mileages listed to be off by more than a few miles. Additionally, I have found trail directions to be completely wrong. For example, in one Goat Rocks Wilderness Area hike, the book tells readers to "take a left at the fork in the trail," when the correct direction was to take a right at the fork. The book is a good starting point for learning about beautiful areas worth exploring, but I would never rely on it for planning a hiking trip. If you do decide to use this book, ALWAYS consult a map before your hike. |
0 | NoShow | Never got the book. I orders 3 things, got one. This is the first time I have ever had problems ordering from Amazon. |
4 | Trusted source, and a bargain | Complete, accurate, comprehensive, and entertaining, to boot. Amazing inventory of trails for the money. Maps are only so-so, but functional. BTW: The review below is a joke: Most people would give up on an "unreliable" guidebook after about five hikes and skip the other 95. |
3 | Response to a Review | This is not a review rather a response to the review written by a "Reader" from Canada dated Feb 2003. You mention that you believe that Sikhism is a sect of Hinduism, but you have been misled. Although originated in Northern India, in the current state of Punjab and part of Eastern Pakistan, in early 15th century, Sikhism is a separate organized religion from Hinduism and Islam. I advise that before you publicly humiliate yourself with your obvious lack of knowledge, and defame a book, you learn to educate yourself on this religion. |
3 | Caution...For Teachers only | Well-done but...this book is only for teachers. Pick it up if you're a teacher (I can see how these pages are helpful in that they're easy to re-produce), but if you're more than ten years old and areinterested in learning about Sikhism I suggest you pick up The Sikhs (Patwant Singh). |
2 | Below average | If you're not a teacher, this book isn't worth the money. It's just a bunch of worksheets that are designed to be photocopied. Simple as that. Don't waste a dime on it if you're not a teacher. Plus I'm not so sure it's accurate. It treats the religion as if it were distinct from Hinduism when in fact I've read in several books that Sikhism is a sect of Hinduism. I even read this in an encyclopedia! That this wasn't mentioned in a book written for children is terribly scandalous. The people who put this book together should check their facts the next time they publish. Terribly scandalous! |
3 | Good for new and old fans | For anyone interested in the Washington Redskins, this is an excellent book.If you just became a fan of the Redskins during the Gibbs era or later, this book will do a great job in bringing you up to speed on the history of the team. The good times, the bad times, the great players like Baugh and Jurgensen, and the flops like Gary Beban are all portrayed.If you're a longtime fan like me, there are plenty of great pictures and anecdotes. There's the story that Sam Huff, not coach Otto Graham, called for the field goal team in the closing seconds of the 72-41 record-setting game in 1966 in an effort to embarrass his old team. Or the one where George Allen had his team scouring the field at Redskins Park having them stick Q-Tips into holes that they found. There are dozens of sidebars throught the book with such material. |
4 | EXQUISITE | Another great from this fabulous pianist/composer! This album is elegant and nostalgic, delivered in grace and style that is all Bradley! |
4 | Great!!! | It has such great pictures of the city's and states. I love looking at it! It's so cool!! Two thumbs WAY up!!!!!!!! |
2 | pretty good For a begginer! | if u r learning dont spend money in a pioneer just try up with Behringer till you get the enough skillsits not as good as the djm400 but its cheaper. |
0 | garden of the dead | This movie was so bad...I had to laugh at my mistake of ordering it. Poor acting, background scenes, the whole movie was what my family refers to as a Class F(fluke) movie. The only good thing about my order was, the movie was received in excellent condition...probably because no one else had watched it! I can hardly believe zombies would be interested in the opposite sexfor any reason...the dead also were shot and killed...again.My recomendation for the serious zombie enthusiast would be "Resident Evil". If all you want is to spend money and get a laugh "Garden of the Dead", which was for me a waste of my time and money, will definitely be your best bet. |
3 | No color listed | There is no color listed for the contents of the can. I was going to buy some but how can I without knowing the color? |
1 | Just Ok Product | I does what it say's but I did not find it very useful and was somehwat hard to work with or try and shape. |
1 | Not for new ipod with video | I Purchased this case for my ipod video. It doesn't stay closed very well and the hole for the headpone jack is on the top left of the ipod but it is in the top center of the case so you have to skew it off to the side just to have the headphones in. It works ok but it looks like crap because it isn't really designed for this particular ipod. Maybe it would work better for older models, I don't know. |
3 | Darn good spatula; not, however, commercial grade | I paid about five bucks for this spatula, and for that, it is a super deal.I would call it heavy-duty home-market grade. It is not, however, commercial grade.The blade is nice and stout; the blade steel extends all the way through the handle.Most people will consider this the largest spatula they'd consider buying. Some will conclude the blade is too long. I would be sure to measure your favorite spatula and compare the dimensions. I plan to buy another one of these and cut about 2" off the blade for use with smaller fry pans. |
2 | Very inexpensive BUT handle was loose upon arrival. | The price is certainly very nice and the metal portion is fine and the wood on the handle is fine it's just the riveting that leaves a little to be desired. The turner arrived and the handle was/is loose right out of the box! For 5 bucks its probably an good deal but not to me. If the handle was properly attached this would be a five star review. |
4 | perfect spatula for a cast iron skillet | This is the perfect spatula for a cast iron skillet. It is a true square at the end.. It is not rounded. |
4 | Low price, sturdy product | After searching at several high end cooking stores, my son found this spatula online. It's quality was better than what we found in stores. He's only had it since Christmas, so I don't know about durability yet. |
2 | OK for the price | Loose rivets on handle. A little too flexible/flimsy blade causes too much flex in the handle area. I tightened the rivets in a press. I just bought these for the camper so they will work fine for that. I would not expect them to last long if I used them everyday. |
2 | It's just a spatula | Not sure if it's really commercial grade, but it's pretty much what it's advertised to be. The handle is tight and it works. I ordered this specifically to use with my Lodge Pro Logic 12-Inch Square Griddle. It works as expected. Given it has a wooden handle, that means I'm NOT going to be putting it in the dishwasher. That should ensure the handle stays tight and does not get loose.I guess I could have given it 5 stars, but it's just a spatula! |
0 | Light doesn't stay put | This light looks nice but it doesn't stay put. This light moves horizontal and vertically while you are riding. Yes, I got it tight but it still moves around and you have to keep re-aligning it while riding. |
0 | Cheap plasticy looking and can't see the light 3 feet away | Buy this if u have money to spend on junk stuff that you are no going to use. I never knew halogen light was so dull. I dont believe personally that this has a halogen bulb. |
3 | Great costumes | I love this collection. The colors are beautiful. I have other collections by Tom Tierney, but this one only has 9 costumes per gender. I noticed that some people say there is too much "near nudity", but it's nothing compared to what I see on the beach when people are in two piece bathing suits. So if you take your young child to a beach and don't mind them seeing people in bathing suits, then this collection will be just fine for young kids. |
3 | Beautiful | Amazing, two dolls, a dozen or more plates of beautifully draw clothing, how can you go wrong? If you love egypt, this is the paperdoll book for you. |
0 | Rated M for Mature | I can't believe no other reviewer has mentioned that the girl paperdoll is topless! In a couple of the costumes, she has nothing on top (sure it's covered by props, but not well) and since when do paperdolls have DD cups? I got this for my daughter for Christmas, but there's NO WAY I would ever let her play with this type of paperdoll. Is it too hard to actually make something that's appropriate for children? Definitely not G rated IMO! |
2 | 0 | There is a better Music single out available. Since Amazon doesn't have a track listing for this single, I got this single. It only has two tracks:Track 1: Music [Original Mix] 7:07Track 2: Music [Bostik Mix] 7:35They are both GREAT mixes, but you should either get the other single (ASIN B00009P57H) or get the full IMPORT album Rush, it's a great album and also has three Music remixes. |
3 | Heard him on the radio | This author was on the George Noory Show last nite, and the things he said make sense. I'm not only buying a copy of the book for me, but one for my boss as well -- he's always complaining about losing at the casinos! |
1 | Not Worth It! | Perhaps I was expecting too much from the book, but I just couldn't stand it. The whole thing was examples of people winning money, and showing how some of them can "sense" where winning slot machines and such are! I wish it would've given more information on the psychological aspect on increasing your luck by how you luck, but it did not. I would not recommend to anyone! |
1 | Very Disappointed | I expected more about how to create luck, maybe why people feel lucky and how they obtain it, not read pages and pages about luck in the casinos. Nothing really helped me in this book. Explaining others' Gambling and lucky streaks did nothing to help me and in fact bored me. Absolutely no meat to this book. Since I don't gamble, I thought I would scream when more and more pages about gambling began. This book was not what I expected at all. Very disappointed. |
4 | Real Secrets Of Luck Revealed! | This book delivered what it promised--real workable strategies for cultivating good fortune, especially in making money, related by truly lucky people. Whether you gamble in casinos, play the lottery,or invest in the stock market, this book tells how to use your intuition, your dreams, and coincidences to chart a path in life that increases your chances of being lucky. He also describes in depth the spiritual dimension of good fortune and how anyone can access it. This is an exciting book! |
4 | finally, an investigative reporter tackles a "soft science" | This terrific book, entertaining and informative, is a welcome antidote to those, like me, who were frustrated by Malcolm Gladwell's seemingly ubiquitous "Blink". Anyone familiar with Randall Fitzgerald's previous detailing of government waste knows he casts an "unblinking" eye on his more mainstream targets, and will appreciate his examination of intuition (luck). What many refer to as "soft", Fitzgerald reveals to be simply scientific, and explains, chapter by chapter, not only the fascinating experiences of others, but provides a path for the open-minded to really change there lives in the ways that matter most. Highly recommended. |
1 | Strange but, listenable | This is not what I expected. I thought this was an all out rock band and to my dismay I found noise. I can actually sit down and listen to this though. Another review mentioned Merzbow...I think they hit the nail on the head. It has a hint of Meat Beat Manifesto also. I think some of Mike Pattons work also is along this same route. |
4 | holy smokes | these guys are great....this is a superb album....wolf eyes are one of the few acts in the fringe music scene that completely lack any pretentious bs that usually plagues the avant garde....they are cool dudes who are totally into what they do....there is intention and form to this music....and their understanding of their instruments and tasteful journeys into the psychedelic unknown are inspiring....also, their live shows are unbelievably moving....blow your own mind!! |
0 | Looking for Music, 'Cause this isn't. | This simply is not music...some want to define it as art, however, the BAND i'm sure states themselves as such. This is noise, plain and simple, and listening to noise is not listenting to music. A five year old bangs pots and pans together, cars squeel down the street, and that is not considered music, if sampled and put to a beat of some kind, a rhythm (or any other various MUSICAL terms), then music is made.Making something intentionally horrible does not make it art: It's for profit (somehow...) |
