1positive	Sad End For A Good Person	I had always been a ardent fan of Joey Stefano and was very saddened by his death. His young life was tragic, depressing and too short. Much of what he went through is detailed in this well written book by Charles Isherwood in no holds barred graphic detail. Although an insightful look into the world of the gay porn industry, what struck me more than anything else was that Joey Stefano was a good person, albeit, with his own personal demons to battle (as we all have) which ultimately gained the upper hand and destroyed him. Another thing evident in this biography is that Joey's purported friends were anything but. When he needed them most he was cast adrift and virtually on his own. I hope Joey has finally found the peace he sought in his life.
0negative	I was disappointed	I was disappointed with this Linksys product. I just couldn't get it to connect to my three PCs properly. I am not a neophyte and I thought the installation procedure should have gone without a hitch. But it didn't and I wish I had not purchased the product. I have had installation problems with other Linksys products, especially those wireless products for my 64-bit Vista OS. I didn't call tech support because I have trouble understanding the Indian techs, and I didn't want to spend two hours on the phone.
0negative	recut footage from the "Alabasta" story arc	First off, I love One Piece. It is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I own the DVDs for the first 330 episodes (Japanese version) and counting.However,as stated above "One Piece: Movie 8 consists of recut footage from the "Alabasta" story arc of the TV series with some bits of additional animation."They also recut it such that I don't think anyone not already familiar with the story could follow it. The Alabasta episodes (92-130)were pretty long so trying to fit thirty eight 20+ minute episodes in to a "movie" is quite a task. Still 4Kids or whomever did this completely butchered it.View the original Alabasta episodes, not this.
1positive	Closed caption?	Does it have closed caption? From what I remember, years ago, I bought the "Is It Fall Yet?" DVD years ago and it says closed caption on the box but it never showed up on the TV which I was not happy about it so I was wondering if the closed captioning shows up on the TV for this set and if it does, I will buy it, thanks!! :)
0negative	Lots of Problems	Just a heads up on this item. It has never worked correctly. Starts out working find and quits. You will find many negative reviews online.
1positive	BUCK THE WORLD	THE SECOND CD FROM YOUNG BUCK AND THE BEST CD OF THE YEAR. YOUNG BUCK IS THE BEST IN THE RAP GAME AND MY FAVORITE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS CD THEN GO GET IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0negative	Doesn't support all printers	After some setup challanges, this device worked pretty well with my old Brother printer, but when I bought a new HP color laser, it would not support it. Finally after many converstaions with Linksys support, they said it would not work with my printer and could not be upgraded to do so. They even suggested that I exchange my printer for one on thier support list! :-( Unacceptable.
0negative	This book totally stinked!	I personally didn't like this book. It was extrememly hard to read, with confusing words and sentences that make absolutely no sense. In fact, I only read the first four chapters, and I know several others who could hardly read the first two chapters. Maybe if I had attempted to read more, I could've gotten into it, but I highly extremely doubt it. Well, if you are interested in reading this book, maybe you can try it, but if you dont get into it, FORGET ABOUT IT YO!!!! THE WORST THING ABOUT THIS BOOK-ITS 498 PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1positive	Classic children's adventure story	A solitary bachelor is inexorably drawn into the violent fantasy world of two underage gangs.A children's classic.
1positive	Super vest	Very nice quality and anyone that complains is too picky. Very thick made and adjustable. I'm 6'2 250lbs and it fits great with a little adjusting. You will be positively surprised.
0negative	arrived broken. I cannot use this fan.	The fan came in the box with the knob that controls speed broken off. I'll try super glue, but, I'll never order another item like this again.
1positive	ONE OF MY FAVORITE JOHN RITTER TV MOVIES!!!	I just liked this touching story right from the start! John Ritter and Polly Draper displayed such a warm chemistry and you just rooted for them to find their way to eachother despite the many hurdles they faced. Eventhough I've seen this movie several times over the years, I would watch it everytime it would air on Lifetime. It's just the kind of movie you could kick back, relax and shed a few tears of happiness at the end!!! I'm so glad this movie has been released on dvd because it's another body of work I can collect on the late John Ritter, who I still miss very much.
1positive	Penthouse	When I put this on the cage the hamster started using it as his Penthouse!Put some bedding in and he loved it. He likes being able to look out at the cats and dogs and wiggle his whiskers at them knowing he is safe from them. Like the fact that the top "locks" down (there is a small ridge to push it past) so other animals can't remove the top.
1positive	Clancy like romp at the world war scenario...	When I first picked up this book I thought I might try my luck once more and NOT find something nearer to Clancy's Red Storm Rising, but, indeed, I found it just as disappointing. Considering the intended audience, the premise of depicting a third world war from a Russian context will probably not draw much popularity but from the least jingoistic techno-thriller fan (if there are any to be had).If you adore Tom Clancy or revel in Larry Bond or Harold Coyle, this story should captivate your attention. Considering strictly the qualities I think the genre's hard core fans merit I give it a four star rating.
1positive	print server	The print server works great. It was easy to setup. Only problem is that it does mot work with Windows7 (they do not have the drivers yet).
0negative	This gives frustration rather than savings	Not one of America's best gifts to England :( - -A couple bucks more for the Signet or Folger editions will help you so much more to appreciate our Bard. (or... if you're a Brit, the "New Penguin" edition is a great way to go).Like Steve says, you'll get NO help (or love) from this thrift edition.
1positive	Edna Ferber wins again	As far as I concerned Edna Ferber is my favorite author this month. About a strong little girl becomig a stronger woman.
1positive	Another gag gift!	This was great fun!I sent it to a friend to remind him to behave or the alligators would get him.Is this a sports team or something?Nice picture of an alligator.
1positive	A Lighter Encyclopedia	This books shows you the lighters and gives a history of the lighter company. Many lighters. It doesn't give values of lighters, but its practically an encyclopedia on lighters..
0negative	No Music is a No Buy	With out the Music of the times Daria is a drag, evan Daria would say that this is just Depressing. Do not buy with out the real sound track. This was the same thing that was done to China Beach. Some shows are the Music and the Music is that extra part of the show.
0negative	NO MORE SCALLIONS!	Has anyone really tried the Scallion Tart recipe? Martha wants 8 BUNCHES of scallions cut into match stick pieces. Hey Martha this made birds nests on my tartlets. My daughter grabbed one to go and called me down the road. "Hey MOM it tastes really good but I feel like I'm chewing grass. Am I going to colic after I eat this? We cooked half at a time so before the second pan went in the oven we removed two thirds of the scallions. This batch made it so you could actually taste the olives and walnuts. So Martha did you really mean 8 BUNCHES?
1positive	Grait book to start reading on.	I actualy saw the Movie (while visiting Scotland) and then readall the books. These are good books about good adventures. No magicand no real evil. Just stories of young people chalanging themselvesand each other to be there best. Not to say they don't make mistaks or take chances that is what growing up is about.Much of what I am and what I believe in may have gotten its start in these books.
1positive	Great High-Quality Product	High preformance fan that moves alot of air. This is the second I have bought in the past 5 years and have become a loyal customer of the Vornado brand.
1positive	Great!!	When you use this cream along with the DermaZinc soap you will see results almost instantly. The cream has worked wonders on my friend's face. It's totally worth trying out!
1positive	Amazing	Ive been using this along with the Dermazinc Face cream and it works like nothing else. Had a hard time controlling my dermatitis, so i decided to give this stuff a shot. Works great. May take a few days to acclimate to (with face cream and shampoo, had minor raise is itchiness, but after a few days, it went away and my face cleared up and stayed clear along with my scalp. I attributed the itchyness to my skin finally healing. I even use the shampoo on my facial hair and it works great there also. So if ya have tried everything else out there, try this. It works!!
1positive	Very funny sitcom	I really enjoyed this sitcom and am eagerly awaiting the second season. It is in both Hebrew and Arabic language with English sub captions.
1positive	Ruthie Foster is soulful, joyful	I loved this CD. Ruthie Foster sings with such energy, and has such a full, rich voice. Her songs cover a range of folk styles and moods, and you get the feeling that some are definitely autobiographical. Her acoustic guitar complements her voice, accentuates the rhythm---definitely adds to the richness of the experience. I had the pleasure of hearing Ruthie perform live for a small (50?) appreciative audience, and loved her there. Though CD's rarely capture the total atmosphere of a live performance, this one comes close. I've played this CD for family and friends, and additional copies have been bought as a result. This music is genuine and uplifting.
1positive	Definite benefits	On the basis that I'm magnesium deficient i thought I would try these. This is the first magnesium supplementation I have tried so I can't compare to other forms. When I have trouble falling asleep, having bowel movements(tight bowels/constipation), or feeling more anxious these provide some relief within an hour or so. I typically take 3 at a time and find that I can poop the next day and I can turn my brain off easier at night.Unfortunately they work so good that I ran out and now I am getting my magnesium from food sources. If you absolutely need magnesium now, then these work great. I would suggest eating foods like almonds and dark leafy greens for your magnesium, however, because it really does work better over the long term and magnesium is not the only important nutrient of course.
0negative	bad product!!	product was one month from expiring and was not useful at all. wasted money entirely, be sure to check expiration or ask before purchasing! Bought reg product from other site and 100x better and won't expire til 2014. very disappointed.
1positive	The background and training of an Army Officer	I found the training part of the author who is an Army office very interesting but the book started to lag toward the end which is why I gave it four stars. Still, the author was a dedicated military professional who goes through hard training and lead by example.
0negative	Dissapointing	I loved Creed so much that I got this CD with much anitcipation. It was a let down. I was bored with the cd and just threw it in a drawer. I found it tedious and monotone. He needs to get the boys back together.
0negative	Misleading representation	Does NOT work well with Canon multifunction printer. Infuriating software insists that the Canon drivers need to be installed and will not proceed with the rest of its own installation even though the printer IS properly installed. Browsed web to find workaround that allowed sharing just the printer but not other functions but that connection was still not reliable. I returned this device and bought a Silex (specifically suited for the Canon) instead which installed easily and works flawlessly.
0negative	HORRIBLE	When I first listened to this CD I couldn't beleive this was the same Juvenile that came out with 400 Degreez. It sounds like 80's rap. This CD is horrible and my advice is to not get it.
1positive	Fatal Beauty	This film is about a young women who is used by her very poor family with delusions of grander to basicly gives then sells herself to a rich man and then marries a man who is in love with the idea of being inlove with her. By doing this she suffers and suffers. So why watch a film like this? Inorder to appreciate what we love more and realize that there are still people in this world like tess we can help if we chose to.
1positive	Realistic issues involving adoption	As a parent of an adopted child, I did think that the book was realistically presented. (Glad I didn't read this book when my son was small!) I love all of Karen Kingsbury's books. This one had some heavy issues, but many of her books do.
0negative	Hard to find, but well worth it.	I was so excited to find Charlie Biddle on Amazon, that I didn't notice it was Charlie Biddle, JR. This was not what I expected at all.
1positive	The Taliban in America	The subject matter is highly disturbing and a must read for anyone who thinks that this sort of horror only goes on in backwards third world countries. The writing is uneven but the content makes up for it's faults. I was angry for days.
1positive	This one's a keeper! Terrific!	This author was in my Amazon.com recommendations list and I decided to try one. I'm really glad that I did! This book made me laugh and cry. It's the best that I've read from a new author in a long time!
1positive	Pay close attention please:	There is yet simply one minor thing to be said about this cd, the one thing which matters. You have not TRULY EXPERIENCED the beauty of this album unless you have driven underneath a desert sky out on a lonesome highway, really blasting this on the stereo. (can you imagine listening to "Where the Streets Have No Name" without being able to yell along) So. You are going at least 90mph, your windows are rolled down, your hair is wild - and your feeling? Sheer and utter ecstasy...
1positive	Nice start....	Lil Wayne with his simple lyrics and unusually interesting voice makes this CD a competition to any current CD. Plus with appearances of the Cash Money crew, I personally would call this a keeper.
1positive	Little Bear's Trousers is a visual delight and very sweet	Our (hard copy) of, Little Bear's Trousers, has been read dozens of times! The illustrations are extraordinary, and the creative uses Little Bear's friends make of his trousers are inventive and practical! The story has a joyful ending wherein all the friends can celebrate not only the return of Little Bear's trousers but some time together enjoying a bit of cake. The ONLY complaint I would make about this book (and which was actually pointed out to me by my six 1/2 year old daughter) is that of the nine characters, only two are female. We, however, have rectified this situation by granting them a new sexual status virtually everytime we read this book. Both of my kids (one boy, one girl) adore this book and have for years. Highly recommeded!
1positive	Very good Raitt & Friends	Very good Bonnie Raitt and excellent to have some of the top blues-rock friends to join her on this combo pack for cd and dvd.
0negative	well made but not that functional...	I usually love MSR products, but this one is disappointing. It's well made but the nozzle on the end of this shower is pretty lame. I understand you're not gonna get a full blast of water in a camp shower in order to conserve water but this shower gives you a weak trickle. I love MSR products but this one is just ok IMO
0negative	Shameful	Khia is originally form Tampa florida for those who didnt know and im ashamed of that.Theres only three good songs,K-wang,lick my back, and dont trust no N*[email protected] buy the cd get someone to burn it for you!
0negative	Bubble gum jazz	No doubt about it, Rod Stewart has a sexy voice. However it takes more than just a voice to make jazz, he lacks heart and soul on these songs made worse by the musical accompaniments that sound like they're taken straight off a karaoke track.A great selection of songs, but to hear how they're supposed to sound listen to Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Anita O'Day, and others.
1positive	Great Mount	The mount arrived sooner than expected and looks very classy, is solid and assembled very easily . The only down comment is on a 32" screen the horizontal mounting bars stick out about an inch on either side. Not a big deal unless you want them completely hidden behind the TV.
1positive	ok...	did not come with the batteries for the remote, which said in the description it would.apart from that, it works fine. remote works fine (my previous one didn't and i had to get really close to the player to get the remote to do whatever i wanted), image quality is ok. and for the price is perfect, small and doesn't weight a lot.
1positive	It's a telemarketers wet dream LOL	This season was GREAT!! I had a burned copy for the past few months just waiting for this DVD to come out.The Bonus features are great and the music video is funny. Just a side note: if you are not a MMO or RPG player you might not get some of the jokes that are going on.
1positive	Local tutor thinks this is the BEST BOOK for SAT & Critical Thinking Skills	Hello, I am a local tutor and think this is the best book for the SAT and I even use this for students trying to learn critical thinking skills. I highly recommend!!!
0negative	PBS's Josh Groban Concert	While I do have all of Josh Groban's music, I decided not to buy "Live at the Greek." My sister did buy the DVD set through a very big pledge with her local PBS station and she loaned it to me. I watched the concert DVD and was startled by Groban's voice!! This was in the first few minutes of the concert. He was nasal and often had problems in many songs that he had previously done so beautifully. While I do acknowledge that this concert was "LIVE", the first concert was live also and it was excellent. Regardless of the reason, I decided not to buy it for myself. It just wasn't very good.
0negative	Would've been exactly what I needed but Wrong polarity	This would have been EXACTLY what I needed - right voltage out, right mAmps, right kind of plug - except the polarity is exactly the opposite of what I needed. This Belkin adapter is + Positive Tip, with a Negative sleeve (an Important bit of information NOT mentioned at all in the description of the item).Other than that - I'm sure its just fine...
0negative	anti-pirating mechanism	They've finally done it! RIAA has developed an uncrackable anti-pirating technology and it is comprised of filling this disc with a cacophony of painful sounds.
0negative	Not so Amazing	These pens make cool effects as long as you use the provided papers. However they do not include enough of the coloring sheets, and the pens just don't seem to blend as well or look as nice on regular paper. Besides, that the metallic pens are more like paint than markers. I do enjoy using them to write on other things, but that isn't the point.The whole concept seems like it would be frustrating for most small children. My four year old cousin had these but quickly lost interest in trying to blend them and just used them as regular markers for a while. She's really into arts and crafts but is not interested in these at all. They are mixed in with her other markers but probably do not even get as much use as them.
0negative	Wallchart of World History.	I have yet to receive it!!! Should have gotten it between Dec. 7th and 24th. Still not here! Got an email stateing it was shipped, quite a while ago.I really wanted this book, sad it hasn't arrived.Cindy Zinzer
0negative	Well made but Sapphire color is nothing like the photo.	The color of these in the photo show a nice bright blue but the actual sapphires I got were a dark grey-blue. I bought other sapphires before and know they can be slightly different color blue but these are some of the dullest looking I've bought.
0negative	printer router	Isn't compatible with Windows 7 and Cisco online chat didn't seem to have another suggested product. I just bought a new printer instead!
0negative	GOD AWFUL CD!!!!	OK GUYS IVE HEARD ALOTTA BAD CDs BUT THIS IS THE WORST PIECE OF GARBAGE IVE EVER HEARD!!!!! I LIKE KIM AND TRINA AND SO I DECIDED TO BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIAT CD - BIG MISTAKE!!! THIS BIOTCH CANNOT RAP AND SHE IS TRYING TOOO HARD TO TRY AND BE NASTY AND YEAH JUST LOOK AT HER CD COVER!!! WHAT THE FCK IS THAT?!?!?! SHE LOOKS LIKE A FCKING IDIOT IN LIKE SOME CHEAP A$$ OUTFIT!!! SHE NEEDS TO QUIT RAPPIN AND BECOME A STREET HOE!!!
0negative	Linksys Wireless G Print Server (not for Windows 7)	The big problem with this item is that it is not Windows 7 compatible. It may have been a great print server with Windows XP, but when you go to install the software on a Windows 7 computer, you receive a message saying the OS is not supported and, for most people, that is as far as you can go. I returned the item for a refund. As far as I can remember, I think that this is the first item I ever purchased from Amazon that I had to return.
0negative	Disappointment	In the past I've really enjoyed Halberstam's books, but I found this one to be surprisingly uninteresting. He seemed to be repeating everything to the screaming point. I lasted till about page 50 when I bailed.
1positive	Excellent book	A really good book for MBA aspirants preparing for GMAT, I personally liked the verbal section a lot and would strongly recommend going through all basics or other tests/books (Kaplan, Princeton...) before starting this book ! Good luck !
0negative	Absolutely horrible device	I don't always give only one-star to a product, but when I do, I give it to the Cisco-Linksys Wireless-G Print Server with Multifunction Printer Support... This product is bad from beginning to end. The setup is cumbersome and finicky. Once you plug the device, it will require constant reboots (I have one and access to two more, they all did that.) I have to reboot my device at least once, sometimes twice a day. What a horrible product. Stay away.
0negative	Not Compatible with XP Service Pack 3	I just spent 3 hours with tech support and was finally informed that this unit is not supported by XP SP3.They are working on compatibility problems with another product, thus this is not on the current queue for upgrade.EXTREMELY disappointing support from a company such as cisco.
1positive	Very Good Horror Film, Shocking And Suspensful	This prequel to John Carpenter's '82 remake is a really good horror film, one of the best I've seen in years. I will definitely be buying this one. It was freaky and unpredictable, which is rare with horror nowadays. I thought it was very well done and I recommend it.
0negative	5stars for Celine, -5 for SONY	I love Celine's music, but I was so disappointed to discover that this is yet another victim of Sony's Virus promoting software XCP. I am anxious to play and ripp this on my PC, but because of SONY's root-kit software, I dare not risk it. For all Celine fans, I suggest you make your voice heard too. Sony's decision to install this software without your knowledge, hide it and make it difficult if not impossible to remove, is unethical and probably illegal (such as in California). Hopefully, Celine & other artists who are victims of Sony's actions will be able to put preasure on Sony to release a clean CD devoid of this horrible software.
1positive	Awesome and simple!!	Ok, I admit there's no electronic device I haven't been able to wrangle into submission, however this is simple and works great! You must just read the instructions and follow the 14 easy steps. Sounds like a lot of steps, but they are like: "Step 1, unplug your printer." The most challenging thing is that you must know your security setup on your network (ie WEP 128), you must know the passcode and key for your security. Don't even start the install unless you have those things in front of you. I keep these items on a laminated card in my desk drawer so I always know right where to find them. Don't worry about the Linksys compatibility list, I installed this on a 10 year old USB printer and it works great (compatibility is probably important for multi-function features like faxing/scanning though). Awesome product. Super easy install.
1positive	One of the Best CD's Out There!!!...	This is my favorite Blink CD because it sounds like their other CD's(ex:"Online Songs" kinda sounds like "Boring" on "Dude Ranch"). It also has funny bonus tracks. On the red airplane Mother's Day, yellow pants is F&%^ A Dog, and on the green jacket there is When You F^%@ed Grandpa. I have all 3 CD's. You can tell which CD your getting by what color the sticker is on the CD rapping.
0negative	Unconvincing	I read all the reviews on this book, and was really looking forward to reading it. With all due respect to the author, the book is hardly referenced, speculative, and relies on highly circumstantial evidence in support of its thesis: namely, that Lincoln was the victim of a Confederate plot. Also, the writing style is dull and unimaginative, hardly provoking much desire to turn the next page.
0negative	Useless	Bought this because I also bought a non-stick sauté pan and didn't want to scratch up the non-stick coating. For some reason I expected the Nylon turner to not only not scratch the pan, but also be able to separate and flip eggs. Wrong. Everything -- especially eggs -- sticks to this turner. The edges are naturally a tad dull so they won't scratch, but my bamboo turner isn't sharp, either, and I can separate one easy-over egg from another with it. By the time I slither the eggs away from each other with this it's too gummed up to get it under the eggs to flip them. Cleaning it's no piece of cake either -- the eggs stick to it so badly I have to scrape them off with another turner. Truly the most useless piece of kitchenware I've purchased in a long time.
0negative	Teach Your Children Well	This book would like to pretend to be "1984" or "Brave New World." It's neither, not even close.(Well, maybe from a galaxy far, far away.) If you want to teach someone about hate, this is the book to do it with. Some will follow it's message and some will be sickened by it, as I was.If you're not a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, male, this book will make you barf. I suggest wrapping the garbage in it as an alternative use of the paper.
1positive	I have more of a question then a review.	I do like having the series on dvd dispite the music being missing. That being said, does anyone know the name of the song at the end of the dye dye my darling episode that replaced the original? I just like the song, and I've been trying to find it.
1positive	Fun books with engaging characters	I've been a Riley fan for years, and I enjoy re-reading her books. What more could you ask for in a book?
0negative	Last two seasons not presented in OAR	Seasons 8 and 9 are presented in 1.33:1 (fullscreen), as opposed to their Original Aspect Ratio (1.78:1). This means you're missing about half the shot that was creatively intended to be in the image.
1positive	Positive, entertaining, and funny.	The DVD is all we expected, funny, insightful, and entertaining. Daria has her own way of looking at the world. She reminds us that individuality and intelligence are really positives. That we don't all fit the "normal" or usual stereotypes. We must accept each other for who we are. Great positive self image ideas.
1positive	Good read	Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors. I have to admit that this story is a bit over the top. There have been so many stories similar to this one it felt like I was reading something I had already read before.Kingsbury's books are well written, have lots of emotion, are clean and appropiate for all age groups.
1positive	Protect your gear	Pelican products are renowned for theit strength and durability. That's why I bought one. I am not disappointed. I will not be using anything as a substitute. Couple the goods with Amazon service and nothing more to add.
0negative	complaint	I ordered the Wall chart of history October 25. I still have not received it, Where is it???? You got the money now I want the product.
0negative	Be Careful	I purchased this not realizing that it works with so few printers. I even went out and bought a new printer, and yes, you guessed it, it didn't work with that one either. It is very limited on which printers it works with so BE CAREFUL to research, and check thoroughly if it will work with your printer. I had been using a linksys wired print server for years, and I was very happy with it, but this one did not work. It also has major issues working with Windows Vista. I just wish that these companies would work together a little more closely when designing a product.
1positive	A MASTERPIECE! You must see it!	Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" will be compared to such classics as "The Godfather", "Casablanca", and "Requiem For A Dream". Mr. Wiseau's film tears apart the conventions of cinema as we know it. This film will be analyzed for years to come to it's abrupt and shocking ending. I highly recommend this film, as a must watch for anyone who wants to understand the art of film.
0negative	Appropriate for those very short attention spans	It saddens me to review this book that is nominally associated with Esquire. Having followed Equire's mission to educate men in sartorial style--not fashion--over several decades, I could not help wonder whether this book is a reflection on mens' loss of attention span or that of the authors. First, the pluses: the book is short (nominally, 152 pages; given the white space, about 65); reads quickly (if it takes you over an hour, you fell asleep); and wit ("Shaving does not require so much foam that your face resembles a meringue pie"). The minuses: zero historical context and questionable advise; e.g., [Re rings] "Silver or platinum or white gold, not yellow gold"(One cannot be well dressed wearing a gold wedding band?). In sum, buy this for a prepubescent youngster (male or female) who is doubtless preoccupied with sex and not clothes, a very short attention span being the requisite reader attribute.
1positive	amazing case, very strong	There are many reviews on Pelican case in general so I will give a review from my personal experience.Pelican are known to have very strong case and I put it to the test a few weeks ago on a photoshoot. I am a big guy, about 280lbs and I used this case as a step stool to shoot at a higher level. I didn't feel like the case was going to break or anything even though I was using it for about 30 min, going up and down on it many times.This case came with the padded dividers instead of the pick and pluck foam. The dividers are great for everyday use but I would NOT recommend them if you know someone else will be throwing this case around(airline or shipping). If for any reason you need to throw your case around, I would spend the extra money for the pick and pluck foam.
0negative	The Downward Spiral Continues	I loved Rod Stewart with Jeff Beck, I loved Rod Stewart with the Faces, and I loved the first decade or so of Rod Stewart's solo career.I love most of the songs on this LP, and I love the genre from which they were plucked.But this CD, like so much of what Rod Stewart has recorded over the past 15-20 years, is dissapointing to say the least. The man lost the edge to his voice before most of his new fans were even born, and has been sloffing from style to style since Reagan was President in search of something to call his own.Despite the wildly optimistic comments of some reviewers, Stewart does not do a particularly good rendition of a single song on this CD. To be perfectly blunt, IT HAD TO BE YOU sounds like nothing so much as your neighborhood party animal waxing sentimental on Karaoke night at the strip-mall pub.Nobody would like to see another great record from Rod Stewart more than I would but, much as I hate to say it, this (once again) is not it.
0negative	Not worth it for a new eater!	We bought this chair right when our baby started to eat solids. We liked that it was well-constructed and very attractive. Like others, we were a little disappointed in the straps - difficult to use, and strangely located right at the back of the seat.We used it for several months, and it worked okay. But as the little one has been just learning to eat and can be very messy, we were getting more and more tired of constantly cleaning it and our dining table. We read somewhere a recommendation for a $25 high chair at Ikea. We bought that chair, and it's been a night and day difference! The Ikea chair is easy to clean, comfortable, and easy to strap.We know that we'll eventually go back to the tripp trapp, and that it will have utility for a much longer period of time, but I just can't recommend it for those with babies. Go with a regular high chair and consider the tripp trap when they're really ready to eat at the table.

1positive	I like mine when its running	I like mine when its running. I have only had to fix it about 15 times. I do like it because it was cheap, 17 bucks at Walmart, and puts out plenty of heat. These will cut off sometimes if they have to much dust in them, may be a safety feature. I had one little wire in it that kept coming loose or arcing. Had to fix that about 10 times or so. The last time must have been the trick. Someone at Walmart told me she had about 20 in the back that people had brought back. In other words, nothing but problems. But if you can fix stuff its not that bad. The case is actually very durable. Simple basic design. I may have just got a bad one. Kinda reminds me of an old car I had that ate a starter every 80,000 miles. Got so use to fixing it that it became no big deal, and only took a few minutes. I know.... strange review.
0negative	BBC Video Does It Again	BBC Video Does it again, delivering this show (which I'd rate 4 stars for content) in crummy, stuttery 1080/50i-- which is the UK's HD format for broadcast not for Blu-Ray. Everyone else is delivering 1080/24p which is universally compatible. It's smoother, looks better and is the current Blu-Ray standard everywhere. The problem is that unless you have a Playstation 3, you're most likely going to be suffering with a stuttery, jumpy picture, as your player tries and fails to bump up the 1080/50i to 1080/24p. If you are suffering this issue, manually switch your Blu-Ray player to 1080i output NOT 1080p. Our US standard for 1080i is 1080/60i not 1080/50i, so it won't be perfect, but it will reduce the issues greatly.The reason that BBC Video in the US keeps dumping these awful 1080/50i releases on the US market is because they are too cheap to re-author the discs from their UK counterparts to the US standard. Here's an idea-- release them both in 1080/24p. Imbeciles.
0negative	Skip it... the writers did.	For the serious Doctor Who fan, those who are following the long term developing story of the Doctor and his companions, these events never happened. The character development shown here, the relationships, the people and civilizations saved, and the stories that unfolded were all erased in the final episode. Evidently the way the epic was progressing was not worth keeping so the writers simply deleted it all. Moffat took a cheep shot at story telling by building up impossible odds to stun the viewing audience, then, instead of working his way through a difficult solution, he simply said oops it never happened - never mind. I suggest then that the true fans do the same as the writers did and just forget about this season. Hopefully a new season will emerge that will be worth keeping.
0negative	Over rated to say the least	"The Joshua Tree" starts off good with its best three songs in a row, and the excellent "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" is of course the albums highlight. After this great introduction things go downhill and at the end of the album I'm pretty bored. I think (like at least some others) that this album is over rated - it's far from THAT good. But if people actually believe that albums like Jay Farrer's "Sebastopol", Beth Orton's "Daybreaker", and Coldplay's "A rush of blood to the head" is worth 5 stars I guess the same goes for this one.Take my word, a "best of" U2 will be enough.
1positive	Does What it Should	I'm happy with the product. It does what it should, and the price was right.Thanks for making a product that contains everything I need.
1positive	dvd series	This West African Series of Liberian cooking, one sees the similarity of the so calle Creaole cooking of Louisiana, which is itself is a combination of Indigenous, African, French and Soanish cooking.I enjoye looking at this and getting more cooking ideaso.
0negative	Stewart is clueless with the standards!	Listening to the Standards being sung by Rod Stewart is like listening to Classical Music being played on a kazoo! If you're new to this music, try out some Sinatra CD's. He's the guy who sets the standard when it comes to singing the Standards!
1positive	Great Show	I am so happy I own the complete series of Daria. This a great funny show. When I watched Daria on tv back in the day I just enjoyed it. Watching it now, years later, and being friends with Cecilia, I feel like I am watching us. We are two close opinionated friends. Who don't make many friend because people think we are mean or grumpy. They just don't get us.
0negative	Is He Trying To Be Manilow?	After listening to this album, I have to wonder a couple of things. First of all, is Rod Stewart trying to be Barry Manilow on this CD and what was Clive Davis thinking? The songs on this CD are classic, but Stewart's voice just isn't right for these songs. In addition, some of the songs on this new Stewart CD were previously recorded by many other artists (including Barry Manilow on his {"Showstoppers" CD") while Manilow was with Arista. It seems that Mr. Davis is now trying to turn Mr. Stewart into J Records "Barry Manilow", especially by using Dave Koz (who appeared on Manilow's "Here At The Mayflower" CD) last year. Perhaps Mr. Davis needs some original ideas these days!
1positive	Nice Texture/Taste	Good product with a truly sweet taste. The potato was a bit heavier texture than what we've experienced with other Ener-G Foods muffins. We may try them again.
0negative	Poor Design and Quality	I read the reviews forthis product in whiteand now I really wish I would have taken them seriously. To mirror the same thing most people are saying about this pitcher, the lid will not stay on securely. It completely lifts off the top when you place your thumb on the back of it where your thumb is suppose to go. This is just poor design that can't be overcome unless you like the lid popping off and spilling water all the time. On top of this, the overall quality is poor. Compared to other pitches I've used from both Brita and Pur, this one is very flimsy. The positives are the pitcher does hold a lot of water and the green does make it attractive, but I simply can't recommend a pitcher of this poor quality.
1positive	Superbly researched	A superbly researched bit of scholarship. I would give it five stars if I actually remembered geometry and could even attempt to do the proofs that appear in one of the appendices. It is a bit heavy going in parts, but only because there is a fair amount of information to digest.Richard Nash is a wonderful scholar with a wry wit that comes through in his footnotes. And I don't just say that because I happen to know him.
0negative	better live act then on record	what makes this duo good is the simplicity of the set up...drums and keyboards. This is a band that attracts musicians more than casual listeners."Becky" is the best track.I saw them live and they were more interesting then good. The music is more background music, with a tribal sound, then anything else.What makes them interesting and different also gives them limitations. There is only so much you can do with this set up. Ask Medeski, Martin and Wood...which blows this band away.
1positive	Excellent lcd.	Excellent lcd when it was launched a couple of years ago and still remains a good option. It has inputs for everything. I use it as TV because it has composite video, s-video, dvi and vga interfaces. It also works great as a pc monitor. With a response time of 25 ms it is good for movies, but you can see some small ghosting in games. Great quality and design.
1positive	sweat and suit! sweatsuit?	corny names but anyway, nelly did an overall good job on this album. its softer music like everyone said. if u want mushy nelly, listen to this album. im not hatin or anything but some songs were weak! most of them were good but not all of them. track 2 is straight up corny! who raps about toes. ok, that one was gay but my place, paradise, she don't know ma name, in my life, nobody knows an' die 4 you were good songs. i agree wit most of u that nelly worked with 2 many people on this album, but some of their parts are good
0negative	Waste of time and money	Followed the directions carefully for quite a long time. They are a bit large to have to take 3 at once. But the real issue is that they did nothing for me. No notable change in any aspect of my body. I expected to at least feel a little perkier and maybe have my nails grow better. But…nothing. Why bother?
0negative	Belkin F8E262cSLV WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad (Silver	Gee, nothing special about this mousepad. I thought the wrist rest would be good, but it's odd to feel it there and I don't notice any benefit. Othwerwise it operates as well as any mousepad I guess.
