__label__2 DTW- A must read for fantasy football diehards and beginners: If you're reading this review, then the book is a perfect fit for you. You are either a diehard or FF novice. Regardless of what category you fall into, Mr. Zarzycki's approach caters to both. Much of the fantasy football content out there is stale, generic and downright useless. Zarzycki offers a nice simplistic tutorial for beginners (which experienced players will want to skip) but then quickly moves into elements of drafting techniques that can take you to the next level and help you to compete with even the most experienced fantasy players. I've played fantasy sports for nearly 20 years with much success and still found Zarzycki's info to be helpful in my preparation this year. The math is made simple in the form presented. In this ever evolving industry, we always need cutting edge content to take us to the next level and Zarzycki does just that. |
__label__2 The cutting edge: This book is the absolute cutting edge of fantasy football publications. It is invaluable information for both beginners and experts alike.If you are an experienced player, it is recommended that you skip the first couple of chapters, as these are for beginners. But as Mr Zarzycki begins to explain his rating system, and what I'll call floating ratings, as they can actually change every round of your draft, it is truly revolutionary.I have been playing fantasy football for 18 years, and this is the best system I have seen. If you want to succeed at fantasy football, then this book is a must. Mr. Zarzycki's success speaks for itself. |
__label__2 What a Great Book: Both my kids, age 4 and 2, love this book. Something about seeing the little bunny making a mess just cracks them up. I find the book fun to read as well; the author and illustrator have really captured the spirit of a toddler and it makes me smile to see so much of my kids in the character. |
__label__2 Really Fun: My daughter likes this book. My husband LOVES this book. Every time they are reading it, I try to eavesdrop so I can hear him yell "OVERBOARD!" with delight as the bunny tosses things. Lot's of books are cute; this one is pure fun. |
__label__2 Fun book: My son is 4 and has been enjoying this since his 2nd birthday. He thinks it is hilarious. It's fun to read and reminds me of the times I spent putting everything back in his crib each morning when he was a baby. It flows well with great pictures and allows for interaction (it takes one reading for any child who is able to talk to know when to should OVERBOARD!) |
__label__1 beast: Remember that story in "Trilogy of Terror" where Karen Black was chased around for 15 minutes by a spear-wielding 1 foot tall native jungle monster-man doll with sharp teeth? Well, if you liked that scene, then you may love this movie, which features an entire island full of hundreds of little buggers that seem to be close cousins to said jungle mo'fo'.This low-budget period piece film tells the story of a group of people surviving a luxury liner shipwreck only to be stranded on an island full of the horrible aforementioned "beast creatures"! Most of the running time consists of the survivors being gradually picked-off as they fend for their lives from an onslaught of tiny terror attacks! You will either find this film somewhat creepy or ridiculously hilarious depending on your outlook of such things! |
__label__2 Author Comments: In my classes and talks, I am often asked about the advantages of my book, QuickBooks 2005 QuickSteps. As I answer those business folks, the biggest advantages are the color screenshots, step by step approach and the huge variety of tips as found in all the QuickSteps books. The 10 chapters are laid out in the order that most people need them:Chapter 1 - Stepping into QuickBooks 2005Chapter 2 - Creating a Company FileChapter 3 - Working with ListsChapter 4 - Set up and Use your Bank AccountsChapter 5 - Entering and Paying BillsChapter 6 - Selling Products and ServicesChapter 7 - Managing Inventory ItemsChapter 8 - Customizing and Maintaining QuickBooksChapter 9 - Paying Employees and Taxes and Tracking TimeChapter 10 - Creating ReportsIf you have any comments about my book or QuickBooks in general, I'd love to hear them!Take care, c.Cindy Foxwww.cindyfox.com |
__label__2 Metallica at their earliest: The accuracy in this book is up to the standards of other books from the Cliff Burton era, and suffers from the same problems (most of which are minor). The main issue for this one is that most people who have been playing guitar for a little while can probably pick up how to play the riffs to these songs by ear (most of them are not that difficult). The only reason to get this would be if you're trying to learn the solos, even if Kirk still sounds a bit green for most of these. His playing really changed and improved between Kill'em All and RTL. |
__label__1 DONT GET THIS BOOK: DONT GET THIS BOOK! IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE VERY BEGINING TO THE 4 HORSEMEN. IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOLOS AND IS VERY BAD QUALITY. ITS MISSING ABOUT HALF THE SONG OF ALL THE SONGS! DONT GET THIS BOOK. |
__label__1 Crap: I must say, This is by far the worst tab book I have ever purchased. On top of NOT including the solos, it is very unclear how to play the songs. I have even found a one mistake in the book, and I have only had it one day. I am the biggest Metallica fan you'll ever find, and I am a decent guitarist. This is a horrible book. I have found that all Cherry Lane Music books are disgusting quality. I would definitely recomend you pitch in the extra 3 or 4 dollars and get the other Kill Em All tab book. I can surely say that the other tab book can not remotely be as sh*ty as this. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. |
__label__1 Incredibly Frustrating: Unlike most other "tab" books that I have that, you know, actually have tabs, I spend most of my time jumping around trying to decipher what the chords are and symbols mean because maybe half of the song has tabs and the other half is just symbols. "With Tablature" apparently just means there are some tabs thrown in here and there, not that all of the song has tabs. Plus there are some parts that are just flat out wrong, primarily some notes here and there being omitted. |
__label__2 One problem...: The collection is great except that the product description indicates that Five Great Stories by Chekov is included, but it's not. Instead a volume of The Cherry Orchard is. |
__label__1 Burnt coffee: We have a 2 station Newco coffee station. It brews well but not fast. I downrate the product because in only 15 to 20 minutes after brewing it bakes the coffee so it has a burnt strong taste and is useless. Many much less expensive machines will continue to keep the coffee hot without overheating and burning it. |
__label__2 Very Sturdy, Well Made: These are great as benches. I would not suggest making them more than five feet long however. The instructions say you can make them up to eight feet long, but as a bench this would only work if no one ever sat in the middle and I can't imagine why anyone would want an eight foot long table that was 15-inches wide. I made four benches each four feet long. I used pressure treated lumber and the hardware provided. Assembly was easy and the finished product looked and worked just as I expected. Be advised the finished furniture is quite heavy. |
__label__2 easy to assemble: So far this product has worked great. It was easy to assemble as the instructions were clear. I recommend using pressure treated wood or cedar for the 2 X 4's. |
__label__1 Description needs to be written differently: Maybe it is just me, but when I purchased this item, I thought I was getting everything I needed. It was only after I purchased that I read customer reviews (I should have read it first) and realized I had to go buy and cut the wood. I did finish it and it is quite nice. So, I guess the description deserves the 2 stars, but the finished product and ease of construction gets 4 stars. It took me quite a while to get it put together...I had trouble getting the screws in straight. |
__label__1 Scanner: Has never worked properly. Even sat through a tutorial given by the manufactuer and has never read a single bar code. |
__label__2 Item was great....I sure paid too much for shipping though: I loved the item and it arrived quickly but shipping cost was outrageous. I will make sure I pay attention to that in the future. |
__label__2 Stunning CD with great music: This is a great cd! 5 big stars! The import version comes in a pink cardboard box with the CD case inside - or at least the one I have did. ... other companies have released bootleg versions; these are cheaper but don't come in the uber-cool pink box and infringe on copyrights and I do not encourage buying anything but the real import. A nice booklet is included with the CD filled with beautiful pictures from the anime. In addition to the movie soundtrack, there is also a single featuring Masami Okui singing two songs: One from Cyberteam Akihabara - Labyrinth, and the other from Utena - Toki ni Ai wa. There are also karaoke tracks for both songs. Let me say right now that the karaoke versions for both songs is GORGEOUS. Just as gorgeous as the original vocals. This CD is well worth its price, .... Labyrinth is a fast-paced, upbeat song while Toki ni Ai wa... well, you know what it sounds like, don't you! It was released by King Records/Star Child. |
__label__2 Actually not that bad...suprised: I was surprised at how this mixer performed for its price. I normally dont low ball on my gear..but I am teaching my wife to play, and wanted to save my equipment and cross fader. This mixer has some cool features. It has a cool quick cut switch for scratching..but its located in a horible place. The fader isnt glide smooth...but its smooth. I also didnt like the material that the mixer was made of...it like metal that feels like it has hairline lines in it. When my fingernals hit it whle using the the fader..it sends chills down my spine. lol...other than that though...its a very solid mixer for the prixe...and it looks great. |
__label__2 Seems to work just fine with the exception of the little cloud cartoon: Cartoon of clouds doesn't change, but husband is a weather nut so he loves this thing. |
__label__2 Outside temp doesn't always register: I'm very happy with this product, despite the fact that it does not always register the outside temp. I get dashes instead of numbers every couple days, haven't figured out yet what may be interfering with it, but pushing the down arrow for a few seconds gets it searching for the signal again and it always registers when I do that.I live in a cold area and am hoping the lithium batteries really do let it register those temps below -4 degrees this winter (unless, better yet, we don't have those this year!).Good product for the money. |
__label__2 A nice, easy to use weather forecasting station: The Honeywell TE529ELW is a reasonably priced, easy to use, basic weather forecasting station with multi-channel receiver capability. The unit ships with one base station one and transmitter with a good remote range of up to 30 yards. The station, once set-up, provides clear and easy to read information. Particularly useful for our family is the temperature trend and forecast functions; we use these each morning to help plan our day. Please note the atomic clock functionality will not register your time zone; you'll need to manually set the time zone. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive and user friendly model chances are this is the one you're looking for. |
__label__1 Unfortunately not worth reading: For beginners, souhami's textbook isn't what you are looking for. The link between the basic medical science and the clinical aspects is not adaquate enough for beginning medical students. |
__label__1 Not much haiku for a haiku book: As someone who greatly appreciates haiku, I was greatly disappointed by this book. I wanted a book with nothing but haiku. This book is mostly writing ABOUT haiku. It has precsious little haiku verses. And for the ones that were in the book, there were pages and pages of comment on it. If one wants to read a book about what people think of haiku and how they understand it, this book may be for you. But, if you are interested in having a book with the vast majority of what is actually in the book being haiku, this will be a disappointment to you. A few minutes after it was downloaded to my Kindle, I deleted it--a waste of $9.69. |
__label__2 everyone in the energy field should read this: I thought this book was fascinating. I have been doing research on energy for a long time and this is one of the best books I have read. Nye examines the role that energy use has played in American society -- an important relationship that energy analysts have generally ignored. The book is very readable and well-researched, and always interesting. |
__label__1 Without a doubt, the worst children's book I have read: This book is about a little fish that, from the start to finish, acts like the worst foul-mouthed, spoiled, rude, aggressive, aimless teenager a parent can imagine. Right off the bat, it ungraciously and ungratefully tells its parents to buzz off as it acts on an impulse to take off to see the unknown world. Before it reaches to its unknown destination, it cusses out many bystander fish, guts out a bird with a knife, spreads empty-minded philosophy of living, and at the end, nothing! We don't know what happens to it. Instead of any form of relief or resolution to its miserable life, we are not even told what happens to it, the book just ends. I have read many Persian and Western stories, both as a child and as an adult when I read them to my own children. I have never seen a book as terrible as this. Why would anyone write a book like that? |
__label__2 James Hansen accomplishes a difficult feat: First Man is an extraordinary book for several reasons. Neil Armstrong has not allowed authors to write about his legendary and even tragic life events- so this book's very existence is an achievement.Written in exquisite detail (at times too inclusive), Hansen has painstakingly researched one of the most important figures in the history of mankind.One often finds himself wanting to skip to the "good parts," however, the flow of First Man keeps one interested in the stories as they unfold.Perhaps the most intriguing part of Armstrong's life are the numerous myths and legends that became urban legends. Hansen sets the record straight and exposes some unknown facts about the man who was to lead the way to the greatest adventure the human race has seen.Tahir Rahman, author of We Came in Peace for all Mankind |
__label__2 The Book We've Been Waiting For: An amazing book which if filled with technical detail as well as anecdotes about Neil Armstrong. Most of the excruciating detail could be better served as an appendix, but overall an interesting read, if you can get past the first 150 pages. The book explains some of Mr. Armstrong's "recluse behavior", which I for one never thought he practiced and admired him for not embracing fame, especially at this age of reality TV and other shameful displays of humanity. Several pages of this book are dedicated to misconceptions about the moon landing, especially those circulating in cyber space, which alone is worth the price of the book.The book moves from excruciating technical details to moving personal stories, all important to help us understand the subject at hand. As in any history book / biography the most interesting parts are the small anecdotes we never will hear. |
__label__2 This is THE definitive biography about Neil Armstrong: Simply put, there is no finer book in print that helps us understand the modern-day Christopher Columbus of our times - Neil Armstrong. Not only will you come to better understand the man, the First Man, but you will also walk away with a tremendous appreciation for the Apollo program generally and the Apollo 11 mission specifically. Budget some serious time to get through this book but add it to your list of reads for 2008. |
__label__2 Space Exploration History: This bio of Neil armstrong gives a good history of the man as well as aerospace and space exploration. The author is also a professional and has done the appropriate background work. This book is an essential addition to anyones collection of books on the history of NASA and space exporation, which was also an important part of our history of the 50s and 60s. |
__label__1 Extremely difficult read: I was very disappointed in the book First Man. Mr. Hansen is apparently writing to an audience which includes only pilots, engineers, or other astronauts. I found it an exceptionally difficult read, filled with pages of inane (to the lay reader) information about formulation and testing of numerous aircraft. I purchased the book in order to read a biography about a great American hero; instead, I got an in-depth lesson on engineering, flight, robotics, etc. My advice? Forget about this book if you are interested in learning about Neil Armstrong the man. |
__label__1 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz: How could such a potentially fascinating person have such a boring biography? No, I didn't read it through - I COULDN'T. I simply went to the index, looked up things that seemed interesting, and read those sections.Otherwise, the book is mostly a tedious bore and a major disappointment. It's easy to understand why it wasn't a runaway bestseller. |
__label__1 not enough pictures: i wanted a book that showed pictures of neil armstrongs life as he moved through his career as an astronaut. this was all text and very few pictures. i should send it back. |
__label__1 Unfair and not just this CD version: When writing a terrific book like this one, authors please note how UNFAIR it is allow an ABRIDGED version to be recorded onto a CD. My husband is the biggest fan of space travel. He has read everything accessible to him. This CD is abridged and it is not fair that just because he is blind he can't hear the full version of FIRST MAN. I understand that digital downloads (sometimes) right this wrong, but in this case, the digital downloads available are not compatible with the readers (note plural) my husband has. Both the Kindle and the Nook are inaccessible to blind readers. Please, let's put unabridged version only on CD. |
__label__2 Great story: It's quite interesting to read the different perspectives of each of the men involved in the space program. This book was very readable. What an incredible time in history. Highly recommended book. |
__label__2 A Rousing Adventure!: Thank you to Mr Hansen for bringing this rousing adventure of a life to me in such a readable -and yes, detailed- fashion. A fantastic read whether you're a fan of space travel/history or not. |
__label__1 One huge disappointment for man... one giant mess for reader kind...: I have read article after article on Neil A. Armstrong. I have read snippets in the biographies of many other astronauts and NASA administrators. I've read news stories and seen so many documentaries that I could probably tell the story of his NASA experience better than Neil himself. This story lacked anything resembling excitement. It failed from the first page to be interesting and couldn't even interest me when talking about his great accomplishment of landing on the moon. There was no conflict. There was no interaction. There was no impressions of Neil as it relates to his fellow astronauts. There were no pieces to the puzzle of a man who remains just as mysterious on the last page as he was before the book is ever opened. Sadly, this author accomplishes only one thing... Taking an interesting character from history and making him seem about as exciting as watching paint dry. |
__label__2 A great text for an introduction to mathematical finance: This is an excellent text for a first book on mathematical finance, particularly for those who are looking to work in the industry. The content is delivered in a very clear and concise manner. The level of mathematics is appropriate for what the text is trying to achieve - the reader is not bogged down in technical details (though these are referenced, if desired), nor is the mathematics glossed over and hand wavy.I particularly liked the exposition on the change of numeraire, which gave me a much better feel for its usefulness than other similar introductory mathematical finance texts had. The computer projects add a further dimension that other books lack, and one that is very appropriate if you plan on a career in the area.All-in-all a great book. The right level of mathematical detail and a clear discussion and demonstration of its application in practice. |
__label__2 An excellent starting point. ...: This book is excellent for a deeper introductory look at mathematicalfinance. It is well-written, and strikes a nice balancebetween sophistication and accessiblity. Its companion volume onC++ development in the context of quantitative finance is also wellworth examining. I look forward to seeing the follow up volume, whichwill cover additional, more advanced topics. |
__label__2 Cafe Shadeaux: This is a CD, it arrived with a cracked case, but I didn't care. I love CD's by musicians who haven't made it big, but are serious musicians, and this one's a winner. Love it. |
__label__2 Good but not perfect: Pros- Perfect fit, not much extra bulk (but note that this is not a gadget bag).- Fairly comfortable, moderate protection for camera, less flashy than the silver camera.- Pretty easy to open the flap and grab the camera with the strap over shoulder or neck.Cons- Looks a bit like a gun holster- Top flap doesn't actually seal so a little dust or rain can get in.- I'd rather have a nylon shoulder strap with plastic hardware rather than the leather strap with metal hardware.SummaryPretty good, kind of expensive. I couldn't find any alternatives for this unusually shaped camera while keeping case size to a minimun. I like it. |
__label__2 Your best bet......: if you are looking for a great overview of Jimmie's career. All the Blue yodels plus many more. Not much else to add. Just a good buy of great music! |
__label__2 Prestrung with Prince Lightning Power 16 String: My order came with string. Racket is light and powerful. It's quite easy to adept. It is not worth the listed price, but is a great buy once it's on sale. |
__label__2 Best Racquet I ever had!!: This has been the best tennis racquet I have owned. It has just the right power with control. Light weight solid and great performer. Any beginner or intermediate player will be pleased with this product. |
__label__2 Racquet: Racquet was received in a protective cover that I di not remember from the on-line description. It was properly strung and played well out of the box. Very pleased. |
__label__2 Excelente: Excelente vendedor, lo recomiendo 100% el producto llego en perfectas condiciones sin mas nada que hacer referncia me despido de ustedes |
__label__2 Planer dust collection: Easy to install and expect it to do the job collecting planner dust. I am not looking to purchase proper dust collector unit to replace shop vac then I will be able to put my broom and dustpan away. |
__label__2 must have: If you don't have the dust collector you must get it. It works great and have 2 hose sizes built in. And if you get it from Amazon instead of rigid you will save big bucks. |
__label__1 Money, paper and time wasting ...: I don't know how is it possible to put a 200 pages material in a book that counts more than 1200 pages, but people from a Sybex did it :( Plus, one of the worst thing that author could do is to print complete listings that VC++ generates and really BIG screen dumps...One of the worst books about Visual C++ :(((( |
__label__2 very solid good tracks: I heard this album a while ago and i enjoyed it classic corsten style alot of the dreamy jumpy trance but the tracks are organized very well Smit did a good job as well the mixing is pretty flawless i really cant say this album has anything wrong with it but if you are looking for new songs then you probably will feel like other reviewers but i loved this album when it first came out and i occationally listen to it now and then.If your new to the trance scene though i highly recommend this album. |
__label__2 Ferry corsten rocks.......: ferry corsten`s tsunami one is the best album i`ve heard with him so far, and i must say i think it kicks a.. so I don't see why it only should have 2 stars...keep it real!! peace. |
__label__1 Been there , Done that: If I listen to DJ Tiesto's Summerbreeze and Trance Nation 4 (Mixed by Corsten) almost al of the songs of the Corsten part of this cd are in it. Jesus! I dont pay for a CD to hear more of the same.. Ferry can do much better than this. The Smit part is good though (although he too uses some songs which are used by everyone) |
__label__2 Simple and cost effective: Macally's charger is a simple solution for charging your iPod while in the car (or on airplanes equipped with a PowerPort). You will need a Firewire cable to connect the iPod to the charger! This is important as 4G iPods do not ship with this cable. If you have the cable, this is a five-star product that does exactly what it says. It has a cool blue light that shines while it is charging--and reminding you that you are hooked up. It will fully charge an iPod in just a few hours.If you are thinking about a more elaborate car set-up for your iPod there are options that combine a FM transmitter, a cradle, and a power adapter that would make this device unneeded.Bottom line: four stars for function and design. |
__label__1 Broke without warning: I bought this Adapter because I could use the cable that came with iPOD, (one fewer thing to carry). Well, about six months after opening this item, I noticed that my iPOD was running on battery. One of the contacts had broken, and the device was not working anymore. I am disappointed, but should have expected that for the $10 I spent. |
__label__1 Macally Cigarette Power Adapter for iPod: I wanted an cigarette lighter power adapter for my iPod but this must be for the old fire wire version. My ipod cord is USB... This was usless to me! I am sure it works fine if you have a Fire Wire cable! Double check this before you make the purchace. |
__label__1 Inexpensive Because it's CHEAP - Broken After 3 Weeks: After a few weeks of happily resting seated in it's plug, the spring loaded sides that keep it firmly in place gave out. Now it just pops out of the cigarette lighter hole. Spend a little extra and buy brand name with warranty. |
__label__1 Great book if you want to create Celtic designs: Unfortunately, I was looking for different project ideas, and not looking to learn how to design Celtic knotwork. So I returned this book and kept Celtic Quilts: A New Look for Ancient Designs (That Patchwork Place) which was perfect for my needs. |
__label__1 A Medium Effort: I didn't much like the writing style and the central character which was booze. The secondary cast seems to go into liver shock if they are deprived of alcohol for a few hours. I am aware that the narrator is an alcoholic but his regeneration is still fueled by alcohol. I found the people in the book depressing, one of them a rabid overachiever and all of them generally unsympathetic. The book has a grey mist over it which never really lifts.Maybe the whole world of journalism is driven only by over imbibing, but that doesn't make it mysterious or interesting. That theme is overdone in this book. I found it mainly boring, even though I seem to be in a minority here. |
__label__1 Yellow #5: I wouldn't have purchased this item had I known it contained this artificial coloring ingredient. With that said, the flavor is excellent and the spiciness is very strong. I would love this sauce, if the makers would stick with natural ingredients. |
__label__2 The best hot sauce EVER: I brought a bottle of this back from St. Lucia. They had it at the Sandals resort we stayed at and I fell in love instantly. This is one hot and tasty sauce. Not for the faint of heart. It packs some major heat. I LOVE IT!! |
__label__2 Glad to find this online: Like many people i first had this in st. lucia. Brought a large bottle home tried to make it last. Couldnt find it at any store in chicagoland area. So i went online, it has a ying and yang flavor. the sweetness from the mango is followed up by the heat of the scotch bonnet. hard to put down great stuff |
__label__2 Almost the best!: This is the best hot sauce I have tasted short of Gladys's from St. Croix (which doesn't ship their product)! Thus, definitely worth a try, especially if you have never had the West Indian style from the Caribbean. Warning -- it is VERY hot! |
__label__1 DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW ANY FRENCH?: There were so many French spelling and grammer errors in this book that I can't judge the contents. It was so upsetting to see even simple words like "Incroyable" misspelled that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I read this book with a red pen in my hand and finally had to stop editing it because I was so enraged by the author's sloppiness. Ten years in France as a farmer and she doesn't even know the gender of the French word for MUD? Her children suppossedly were fluent in the language and not one of them could proof read her book? I'm assuming that the publisher is a vanity press. This is the only way this garbage could have been printed. |
__label__2 Great Product, Great Deal.: Between the battery that the camera comes with and this extra one, I never run out of power. The bag has storage places for extra batteries, tapes and memory sticks. With the size of my Sony trv-350 camcorder I'm even able to fit my Nikon digital camera in the same bag! |
__label__2 Fun For Young Readers: Mr. Putter is about to read his cat Tabby a book on his front porch, when he realizes how badly in need of a paint job it was. Being that Tabby is his best friend, he tries to let him hang out while he paints, until a squirrel catches his attention and soon there is pink paint all over. One can only imagine what Mr. Putter will need to do to clean up this pink mess and make things straight again.I think any child who loves animals will laugh their way through the funny story. I enjoyed the wonderful illustrations and the way he figured out how to paint and keep Tabby busy all at the same time.By Kerri J. BusteedAuthor of Will's First HuntWill's First Hunt |
__label__2 Love it! Any Gundam Wing (japanese version) will agree: Absolutly the best soundtrack.... The vocals are by the original Japanese Characters. They are as follows....Ore Dake no Kotaba de(With Only my Words)- Hikaru Midorikawa(Heero)Ai wa Mada(Love Isn't Crying Yet)-Rumi Ishi?(Relena)Wild Wing- Toshiko Seki(Duo)Far Off Dawn-(Zechs)Hoshi no Manazashi(Stars Gaze)-Ai Orikasa(Quatre)Ai wa Ryussei(Love is a Shooting Star)-Shigeru Nakahara(Trowa)Stardust Soldiers-(Treize)Shinjitsu no Tsuki(Grasp the Truth)-(Wufei)Rythem Emotion Full Size Version-TWO-MIXFlying Away-Hikaru Midorikawa(Heero) |
__label__2 A very happy musical fan ^_~: This is totally the greatest Operations soundtrack with all the greatest songs from the Japanese voice actors/actresses of the great Gundam Wing! Some are upbeat and cool while others are slow and make me wanna cry, particularly Soldiers Of Stardust, Treize Kushrenada's image song. But Mr.Seki and Mr.Nakahaha are totally great.Neways this is a must have for both Gundam and Non-Gundam fans alike |
__label__1 Um..its ok: I found this CD to lack good songs compared to the other gundam wing CDs. Although it has a few good songs like tracks 2,3 and 5, the other tracks seemed to be jsut put in there to make a full CD. I recomend buying thi sonly if you want to complete your gundam wing cd collection or are a die-hard fan. |
__label__1 This book is outdated...: This book covers the older version of Mac OS X and is almost irrelevant in some cases to Mac OS X v2. Although it did help me out in some spots, there were a lot of things that I had to get from discussion boards to answer. At most, it is a run through of what to expect. But don't expect it to be anything like the new version of OS X server. |
__label__1 Should be recalled by the Publisher: This book is (apparently) an early attempt to describe the setup, configuration and administration of Apple's OS X server. This kind of book is much needed but this one fails miserably because it is so woefully out-of-date. It does not address 10.2 Jaguar Server and, in fact, most of the screen captures and artwork are OS 9. When it does attempt to develop a subject it does so so lightly that it's almost a hoax. Avoid this book. Save your money. Look elsewhere. Print and read the Mac OS X Server Administrator's Guide that comes free on the 10.2 Server CD. It is ten times the book that this one is. |
__label__1 Awful!: This book is so far off topic, its ridiculous. If you have been using OS X Server for some time and want a reference, don't look here. First they include a primer on how ethernet packets work. Then they never get to the point, unless you want to use NetBoot. It is a fairly good intro if you don't want to actually use OS X. There is nothing about NFS, Apache, basic ftp with a terminal, nothing. I can't say how much I am disappointed. With shipping, it was $40 - down the drain! |
__label__1 Good for complete beginners - Bad for anyone with experience: A very light and fluffy book.3/4s of the book is filler. We don't need another book with a chapter on the OSI model, and certainly don't need this much detail on installation and configuration - it's not that hard. Most of the book illustrates and describes rather then explaining why. Certainly there is little attention paid OS X's UNIX roots (expecially OS X Server).The last few chapters are useful if you are heavily invested in using NetBoot or Mac Manager. But even in these chapters there more attention paid to screenshots and descriptions of all the checkboxes then any serious advice or advances discussion. |
__label__1 Beginner's Guide: I was disappointed with this book - it's great for beginner's, but offers little information that was not self evident. I didn't want a book that stated the near obvious! |
__label__2 Finally!: Have spent a week with this book and found it very helpful. I admin a mid-size network of K-12, primarily AppleShare but moving to Mac OS X Server. If you have an admin background but lack Unix experience, this book is a agreat place to start. It's well-written and organized, and even manages to be funny once in awhile.If your needs run more to WebObjects and business applications, you'll need some additional books for in-depth info.If your key focus is on getting and keeping users up and running, this book will help you do just that. |
__label__1 Incomplete: The cover says it all "An Essential Resource for the Mac OS System Administrator". Absolutely no coverage for Windows clients using Mac OS X Server - a big omission in most computer installations today. Otherwise a good book to cover the basic concepts. |
__label__2 good to listen to: The music is good & cute to listin to. It's in the Japanese langue. There are only 5 songs with words & they are 1, 10, 15, 20, & 26. I love to listin to it. Good luck!! |
__label__2 Songs: I love Demis Roussos and these songs because I remember when i was young and this cd is one of most beautiful for me. |
__label__2 This is a hilarious book, very fun to read, wonderful rhymes: This is one of the best children's books I have ever read. My 4 1/2 year old and I laughed out loud reading it. It is lots of fun to read with alliterative rhymes and cute pictures as well as a very funny story. This is a great children's book! |
__label__2 Tommy at the Grocery Store: Love this adorable children's book. A favorite. It is funny and clever. Love to read it over and over. I highly recommend it for some fun loving reading with children. Perfect for out loud reading |
__label__1 Not a useful book.: I bought this book based on the title -- I am familiar with UNIX systems, and now work on NT systems. I was hoping that the book would help me translate my UNIX expertise to NT. Instead, the book is a very brief concatenation of short chapters of how to do various simple things under UNIX or under NT. It does not make any connections between the two operating systems. If you are a UNIX professional (of the sort the title is presumably intended to attract), then you will find the UNIX part of the book worthless. As for the NT part of the book, your money would be better spent elsewhere. The only good thing I have to say about this book is that it is very short, and many pages are taken up with screen snapshots. |
__label__1 An absolutely worthless book.: The author is not sure as what area of the systems he wants to focus on - system admin or programming, introduction or advanced features. And if this book is meant for UNIX professionals, I don't understand why he goes on describing concepts of UNIX, which he does in an absolutely lousy way. The book is so worthless that I feel it is waste of time writing review of this book. |
__label__1 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. |
__label__2 I Simply LOVE this CD!: The Original Soundtrack to the Greatest Visual Entertainment, and my Favorite Movie concists of 14 tracks, 2 tracks of classic music (Air & Jesus Bleibe bleibet Meine Freunde) and the rest is original music.The OST is Beautifull and reflects End of Evangelion Perfectly, I have no idea of other OST`s other then Ghost in the Shell OST that match its wonderfullness.Recommended at all cost to buying this cd |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 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!!!! |
__label__1 Short life for an expensive lamp - poor customer service: My wife sews and had bought three Ott-Lites. Should have bought one at a time. That way we would have realized the problems we were about to have. After a year the ballast burnt out. Cannot find the part online and OTT-Lite will not return emails. Obviously they don't care about the consumers. Stand clear of their products. Never again. We will replace these lamps with other brands and move on. |
__label__1 Great if want it to die soon: I bought three of these, and within 1 1/2 years all three had died, the ballast, not the bulb. Junk!!! |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 great - while it lasted: I bought the rechargable, portable OttLite, and it was great for the 2 hours it lasted. I'm returning it today since I just bought it yesterday. I am going to take other's excellent advice here and will get a full spectrum bulb for my plain ol' desk lamp. I'm just glad it happened so quickly so I can at least get a refund. |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 OTT - shot!: Lamp design is very nice, however, it failed a little over one year from purchase. Purchase price from a lamp store was around $120. Replaced with 30-some year old working brass floor lamp from a yard sale retrofitted with CF bulb. Hmmmmm.... |
__label__1 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. |
__label__1 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. |
__label__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. |
__label__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. |
__label__1 Not a great effort: Simply put, Cura does not use his powerful voice to great effect. I've listened to his collection of Puccini arias where his strength finds better application. I even liked him in the TV production of La Boehme. But sadly, there appears to be no real interpretation in this recording, just sound. It's like listening to a horn player who can create a great sound from the instrument, but can't make music. |
