Stupid book wordy, scientific, without any real conclusions. It is all facts and figures without any hypotheses or real valuable information. The story of how the book was created is much more valuable than the actual book itself.

Great Glue for fabrics I have used Tear mender for years, it is fantastic on my bib overalls and my welding leathers, it can be messy but it does the job. What I do for a living it doesn't matter if I spill a lil here or there, I am not working construction for a fashion show. If I get some on my hands.... no biggie it dries and peels right off. ANYWHERE IT TOUCHES FABRIC IT WILL STICK. I glue fabric on fabric, leather on fabric, leather on leather and I even used it on my work boots once. Great stuff!!I made my Purchase from BICsuperstore Great price and a decent shipping price. I would make sure if you are to buy the large bottle like i did you make sure to reseal the bottle. It will harden over time and you will have a solid bottle of rubber.

Clicker Training Our 8 Week Old Husky Pup I have never used the clicker training system with a dog before. But so far within the two weeks of us having our husky puppy it has definately got her attention. For only being 8 weeks old we can get her to sit, lay down, and give paw 75% of the time. And it has definately drawn her attention to look at our faces. Love it so far and we have only had it for about a week. I decided on this one after reading someone's review stating it was too loud. I was not real fond of the ones I found at local pet stores because I didn't feel they were loud enough to get her attention.

Canopus ADVC-55 works as advertised Installation of the Canopus ADVC-55 couldn't be easier - I just attached my analog camcorder to the red, white, and yellow connectors on the ADVC-55, and the FireWire cable to the ADVC-55 and to my computer. (The ADVC-55 does not come with a cable for the analog red, white, and yellow connections, but my camcorder did.)I first tried Microsoft MovieMaker as the Video Capture application, but it wanted to control the camcorder directly over the FireWire connection. That wasn't possible, since the FireWire connection only went as far as the ADVC-55, not to the camcorder. I downloaded a video capture application off the Internet that did the trick.The quality of the captured video was quite good, as other reviewers have stated.

THIS ALMOST KILLED MY TURTLES! I didn't believe the other reviews that this was a fire hazard. I installed three days ago according to the package directions. Everything was perfect until three days later, while cooking dinner and my kids playing the living room- the tank started SMOKING. Stupidly, I just ran over and grabbed the turtles (not my smartest move considering electricity). Thankfully, the turtles are okay- but it was so scary. The entire heater bulb exploded and put black ash all over the tank. I cannot express how much I urge you to NOT buy this product. I am just so thankful that I was right by the tank. Imagine if it happened in the middle of the night???

Worth every penny!! What a good read! I don't necessarily read car books, but this was a cover to cover good story! The photography is top-notch as well. A non-enthusiast will enjoy the book and will likely become a full-time enthusiast by reading. VW-fanatics won't be disappointed. Plenty of R&D-type stuff in here to keep you interested. Also neat that the publisher put the book out with four different colors--one for each of the most popular beetle colors!

Writer About Writing Having struggled the issues of writing she discusses here, I wanted very much to find some guidance from Ms. Lamott. Unfortunately, there was precious little of substance. It is rather a collection of riffs on the standard topics covered in writing classes. As others say here, this is not a systematic guide for wrestling with writing, but rather her thoughts and impressions on the process. There is an audience for this kind of book, maybe writers like her. Scattered, mildly amusing, telling more about her than the difficult craft of writing.

Kids love it I don't know how old Jeff Bailey (who provided a wholly negative review) is, but the concensus seems to be that children love this video. My son is 6 and already knows how to read, but he loves the songs and the video clips of the animals. It's goofy and corny -- just what kids like.

No HD audio, no sale Bought this on pre-order, assuming that a new release disc with HD video would have HD audio, just like every other BRD I have ever bought has, well the studio tried to pull a fast one, I assume to push people toward the more expensive SE disc, well I don't want all the extra cr*p, just HD audio and HD video, now they will get none of my $ and Amazon will pay for a return. Hopefully this deceitful tactic doesn't become the norm.

It works I bought it. It works fine for an older HP printer and my HP laptop. I just print from my couch to the bookshelf across the room with no wires. Does not work for my stand alone scanner, but it never promised to do so (I was just hopeful). If you have half a brain for computers and how they work set-up is not all that tough. I had to reinstall it one time after playing around with my settings for a different usb device, and the reinstall took all of 3 minutes. Dont really understand why all these other people were having problems. It is a basic computer product.

WOW Just to listen to JFK and McNamara discuss the plan for the Cuban missile crissis and how close to war we really were was eye opening and a wonderful historical account and well worth the cost.To see and incredibly intelligent elder, stone faced, tears welling up in his eyes, talk about America and what we did through out not only the cold war but Vietnam is stark, gripping and an extremely important account from one of the most influentail powers in recent American history.This should be required viewing for all Americans. It's dark and depressing and the truth that we don't really want to see but history that we must never forget.

KATELAND This is about murders in small towns, They are the kind of places where everyone knows everybody eles. So the victim is usely very well known to the rest of the community. And this also effects many other people. It tells the story of true murders, that happend a very long time ago. I thought it rather a quiet film, considering the nature of it. The small towns where these murders took place, looked very pretty. The people who lived there could not believe that such a thing could ever happen in their little quaint town. Beware of your neighbours. They may not be all they seem. The episodes DEATH IN ROBERTS COURT....THE TRUETT STREET MASSACRE....NORTH MAIN STREET MYSTERY....DEATH ON LAKE LYNN DRIVE....MURDER ON HAGADOM HILL ROAD.

Could be better I love Jillian, and I am an avid follower of hers. I own the 30 Day Shred, and I am a member of her website. I must say, though, I was completely dissappointed by these two new DVDs. This one in particular. I did not feel like this was much of a workout comapared to what she usually does. I feel like the segments were too slow to really make a difference. After I did this video, I went for a run just to finish my workout, however, after the 30 Day Shred Video, I am dead! I think that if you want a longer workout, it would be more beneficial to do two circuits of the 30 day shred rather than this video. I was not impressed.

Don't buy from Bowster Purchased this item from Bowster. After a week it had not yet been sent, so I emailed to ask why. They were prompt, but revealed they actually didn't have it in stock. They could have told me this earlier, but chose not to bring it up until I actually complained that it was taking so long to ship. What a waste of time. Don't order from Bowster!

That means another few years of trashy dancing ' pretty boys ' that dunno what real music is! I actually can't believe i wasted those new millenium hours listening to this millenium CD ( wow.. cd name is millenium too.. wow.....? ) relaly though, there are only maybe 2 songs on here worth listening to once or twice then the CD should gather a few inches of dust and wait for you to listen to it again some time... a few years later

My kinda guy - any story with a non-human species as our accuser is good enough for me!

Good product--recommended I've tried several digestive enzymes for my old dog who struggles with a number of health problems. There are several very good versions out there, but this is the best value for the money I've found. It definitely has helped him, and we've since added it to the diet of a younger dog who also has digestive problems. The product works, is easy to use, and has no additional additives to cause adverse reactions (which can be a problem for the younger dog). We'll continue to buy and use it.

Expansion Pak N64 Expansion Pak Expensive yet very worth it. It is excellent for games that use it because it allows you to really know what that game is like. for example it basicly gives your N64 more memory than it already has, making that game better than it already was. Such as a computer.

There isnt much to say about this movie.It's not completely interesting to most people, but it is a great movie for anyone looking for a movie that you could leave your kids watching without you needing to be there to fast forward anything.Kids who play soccer would love this movie.It is an uplifting happy movie that isnt depressing at all.Find it cheap and you have a great addition to a collection for your kids.

Great Magnets These are great magnets for my hobby of making bottle cap magnets. They are strong, cheap and the right size. The only complaint is they are brittle and leave residue on your hands when you first get them. But still have yet to find any better.

I live very near there and it is convincing. The Chinese too. The High Tech, Smartphones that remind me of Nokia encrypted e-mail. All Up to date, and even a Love Affair with an Italian.Yes this should be a Movie!!

perfect for role playing This carrier is the perfect size for any baby dolls. Its light weight so can be carried around easily yet sturdy enough that it hasn't broken after 8 months of extensive use. I think these things are overpriced for what they are but when you have a child who loves to play mommy or daddy this is a must!

Both her books are good Whereas The Joy of Knitting, her other title, is more of a reading book with ideas and inspirations, this book is the nuts and bolts. She walks you through selecting a project and choosing yarn. The remaing chapters each cover one type of project (hats, socks, mittens, scarves, and bags). She also gives you graph paper to plan out your own ideas, and forms to keep track of the projects you've done.There are a lot of good ideas and technical info. here. It would be a good addition to your knitting library if you are a beginning to intermediate knitter.

The police had better do their job When I first saw this movie years ago, I thought "This could never happen. We must always believe in our police force to protect us." After watching the movie, maybe the future of law enforcement isn't the end of crime, but a privatization of law enforcement to the civilian sector to help control crime.This movie was great for being an eye opening experience and considering what happened on 9-11-01, maybe it's time the armed citizens in the community stand up and help the police department out. Or maybe it's time to say, we as the citizens of the United States, must come together to fight the common enemy.

Wow! This thing's going back I agree with most of the positive reviews of this product: relatively quiet, easy to use and I like the auto-off feature. The one big drawback is that the clamp at the end of the air hose is made from 100% plastic. I tried multiple times to inflate two tires on two different cars with different tire brands and I could not get the clamp to release from the tire stem without pulling with all my might. I lost probably 3-4 pounds PSI each time I tried to release the clamp and worried I would damage the tire stem each time. I'll go to the gas station before I use this pump. I'm sending it back.

Final Respects This book is a great monument to Rodney Dangerfield's memory. It is honest, earthy, filled with stories of his pain and the jokes he told that relieved everyone else's pain. The book is a goldmine of one-liners. I mean it as a tribute to say I wish there had been more material about some of the movies.

transforms my Makita The 2703 is a marvelously strong, light, durable, and portable saw hindered by the worst fence ever released by a major manufacturer. This stand changes everything; now my saw is a joy to use, with a perfectly solid, stable, self-squaring fence to work against. The stand is also sturdy, light, and portable. It does cost as much as the saw did, but for what it does, that's a bargain.Note that the Rousseau saw stands are basically the same as this.

Hmmmm...I wish I would have held out I am like one of the other reviewers. I wanted to like this mp3 player but it is so terrible. I wish I would have held out for the Sony or Ipod. I bought this because it was on the cheaper side and I thought Philips would have been a good brand to have.It works sometimes and this is the longest it has been that it hasn't worked at all. The radio worked but I can't play any of the files I have on it. It is by no means user friendly. The instruction manual is not helpful at all. Anyway, I know I have gotten long winded but I would definitely recommend that you not buy this device.

Awful Smell The other three reviewers to date seem to love this stuff. I couldn't disagree more. It stinks of a heavy perfume worn by an old lady. Not at all subtle or masculine which is key to a good aftershave splash. I own at least 30 aftershaves from the cheap drugstore variety to the more expensive imports. This is one of the worst I've ever tried. Had to shower after about 20 mins. to remove the stench from my skin. So strong it constricted my nasal passage and initiated the gag reflex. My wife got the same reaction. I boxed it right back up and gave it to my daughter to give away. Pass on this one.

You did not bubble-wrap the eye cream, you did not place it in a protective box, you did not do anything to protect a small tube of eye cream from 4 heavy bags and 48 cans of cat food! The tube was flattened; it was the most expensive single item in the box. If I could give you zero stars, I would.

Dissapointed teacher I teach battlebots to students, and have been participation in the construction of real battlebots for many years now. I ordered the product to help teach my students about how different weapons and armor work in combat. the physics were off, the wiring of the 'robots' were confusing, and didn't make any electrical sense. the physics were programed for show, and there was not the slightest ounce of reality in the game. Whoever designed the game saw the TV show, and nothing more. This game is a waste of money that I deeply regret spending.

Quiet Bizarro? A lot of people's perception of Bizarro is that it's like Excel Saga, but written by junkies and dripping with gore, that it's either Bloodsucking Bimbos from Burbank or Naked Lunch 2: Nakeder Lunch. Sea of the Patchwork Cats, along with, say, the works of Andersen Prunty, prove that this is not always the case. Sea is thought-provoking and full of icy existential chills. The first few chapters are stark poetry that sets up a world without answers. It reminds us that Bizarro is first foremost, a literature of strangeness and otherness and the microwave powered sex cartoons are merely one end of the spectrum. I don't know if I liked this koan as much as I like the microwave powered sex cartoons (which are usually intense and brilliant) but it represents the weird' s potential for beauty and versatility and I'm all for that.

Unsafe Toy My son has tipped over on this toy several times. The last time he got a bump and bruise on his head. Step 2 the manufacturer would not exchange this product for me, Sharon Werstler, customer service manager told me to put pillows around it, which I thought was absurd. I would not only not purchase this product I wouldnt buy any of there products since they are not concerned about the safety of our children.

Punny This is the second book in the Thursday Next series, and is every bit as good as the first. In Lost in a Good Book, Thursday Next must save the world while trying to rescue her eradicated husband Landen. Fforde's writing is humorous, making for a quick, light read. Several reviewers said this book is darker than the first, which I suppose it is, though it never would have occurred to me. It has very little violence and given the nature of Fforde's universe everything is reversible, so what does it matter if the attacks on Thursday are a little more personal in this book? I plan on reading the rest of the series, but I think I'll take a break and clean the puns out of my brain before I start another one. Fforde's humor is great, but I just can't read punny humor continuously.

Talk about falling flat on your face... I am so glad to see other people disliked this book. Normally, I loved Keyes' work as much as the next person, but not only was this book flater than a manhole cover, Keyes' attempt to somewhat mimic Helen Fielding's style was absolutely disastorous. My only hope is that Keyes' thought that this style would attract more readers, but my advice is to stick with the Walsh sisters. The old adage rings true- 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' Unfortunally for Keyes, this absolutely hideous novel has completely undermined all of her writings for me, and has made me quite hesitant to pick up anything new by her (should she dare to write it). I really do hate to see such a sarcastic and humorous writer go by the wayside, but fellow readers be warned, a rebound from this book for Keyes would be astounding and a modern miracle at best, and a brave attempt to save face at worst.

Another solid -- and splendid -- effort from Varro Johnny Varro is well known to folks who attend Traditional and Dixieland festivals throughout the United States and Europe. But it's a shame he's not better recognized worldwide for the fine -- and varied -- pianist he is. He's far more than just another Dixieland pianist. This trio album (with drummer Ed Metz Jr. and bassist Mark Neuenschwander) shows off his talents for well over an hour on tunes by Kern, Porter, Gershwin, Mandel, Mancini and other fine composers. My favorite is his five-minute-plus version of Leon Russell's "This Masquerade," but there isn't a bad song among the 15 on this Arbors CD. It's a great choice for focused listening, setting a romantic mood or providing background music while you're reading or working. You'll play it over and over.

Freedom in Christ A condensed yet complete tool using the truths of God's word to set you free. These steps changed my life. Spiritual warfare is real. I was unaware of the darkness I was amidst until it was removed. Using a copy for each of us, my father walked me through the different spiritual areas which had me in bondage. Through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit, I renounced the lies and replaced them with surrender to Christ's love and goodness. I often refer to the list of "Who I am in Christ" to keep me grounded in truth. The small book is easy to carry anywhere or share with others in time of need.

Comfortable and practical These mules are very comfortable. The leather is soft and breaks in easily. If you have medium width, you'll need to break them in. But it goes quite painlessly, with no damage to feet. After 1-2 wears they become like your own skin. I am happy with this purchase.

CAPM The Easy Way I was very impressed by the book - especially its question and solution format. Having a reference into the PMBOK for each question was very helpful and helped me a ton when I got a question wrong. I also found the solution layout to be very instructional in that it not only told me why my answer was right or wrong but also told me why other very plausible distractors were not completely right. Very helpful.

Great Read! I couldn't put this book down. It was very interesting to read about what these people went through just to survive, the mental and physical challenges that these survivors overcame. What makes the book even better is that these are accurate accounts from survivors, family members and people involved in the search and rescue. If it wasn't for these guys and some of the family members never letting go of hope, the survivors would have remained on the mountain. An amazing story!

The First Book I Ever Threw Away..... I wish I would have read the other reader reviews before I bought this awful book. I could not believe it was written by the same Lawrence Sanders who gave us the McNally books. This book was so disgusting, I only finished it on a plane because there was NOTHING ELSE LEFT TO READ!!! I have never thrown a book away in my life- preferring to pass them on to friends or libraries. I would have been embarrassed to give this one to anyone. That's it- even writing this review makes me angry that I'm wasting more of my time than this book deserves.

Next, I have been trying to get the card to work with Vista for weeks with no luck. The support page from Turtle Beach is worthless and the E-mail tech support is no help at all. I will never buy a Turtle Beach product again.

Pretty good, but this book could be a lot better This book is the followup to "Baby Bargains." I recommend buying this book.However, it really could be better in a lot of ways. The Fields don't seem to acknowledge that a lot of families are practicing attachment parenting and need more information on the family bed. Instead, the book just discourages ever putting kids in an adult bed without explaining how to do it safely.Also, some of the stroller info could be better researched.In spite of these short comings, it does a very good job in most areas and I highly recommend it.

Last of the Dogmen This movie takes the improbable and makes it probable, at least in ones imagination. It is in my opinion a well put together work from the creator's imagination. It gives the viewer the feeling from both sides of the spectrum, I.E. how would I feel if I was in a situation like this as the "hidden tribe" and the wonderment of being the one to discover them. I'd like to think I would handle myself in the same manner as the characters. Good mixture of past and present.

Is he experimenting with my health? How long before he changes his mind again? He might mean well but this seems stupid at best. Look at the daily recipes and tell me they make sense... what a waste of money...

huh???? I guess I should have read the reviews a little closer. There is such a bad buzzing in this phone, you cannot hear anyone. Then I asked one of my coworkers and he had to send his back it buzzed so badly, said he tried the plantronics 12 also and it did the same thing. He sent it back too. I tried this phone because it was one of the approved phones on the company's list we're working for as did he. Now I have to try to find the phone that you can hear on....very important in customer service! THEN I have to try to send this back (since it's worthless to me). Not real happy with plantronics right now.

The sound is okay, but the washed out picture takes away from what is an otherwise rare and interesting Bela Lugosi silent film before he came to America.If you can find a DVD copy for $1.00, that's about all it is worth. I love Bela Lugosi, and this shoddy DVD release is a real insult to his memory.

Solid Gold Classic I have used the Relaxation Response or a variation thereof for decades except that I never got into the habit of meditating daily. I intend to correct that now that I have again read this classic book. The Relaxation Response probably offers the most medical benefit for the least effort that almost anything I know of. It's not necessary to read the book -- all you have to know is the four basics of the RR --but the book provides a lot of background which attests to the procedure's validity. This is truly a classic medical self-help book that is even more important in today's stress filled world, with its attendant high blood pressure, reflux, anxiety, depression, anger, etc. etc. If you haven't read this book, do yourself a favor and do so.

Beck Review I bought this box set before Christmas. Within purchase I was informed the item would not arrive before Christmas. The Next day amazon informed me it would arrive Christmas eve as it did. I heard much dislike to the save cover and I too didn't like it much. But it was no problem Beck came with a reversible dvd cover. Let me tell you the other side of the cover look beautiful. Now lets move onto the dvd. I originally saw this series on tv and it made me want to buy it when I found it at such a low price and luckily for me I jumped on the sale and Bought it for $12.99. It is great and being uncut it is nice to see the differences like the fact the F word is said over 5 times in the first episode I would definitely recommend anyone to buy this it is a great buy. I give it 4/5 stars because of the save cover and the fact it is all put into one clear dvd box and isn't a 'box set'. Otherwise it is great.

The Exam Cram book did a great job covering the bases needed for the Oracle networking exam. It is very concise and to the point. If you ignore the number of silly typos, the book attacked the topics very well from examination point of view. I think it was a very poor proofreading effort!I gave a 5 star because the topics are laid out well and details are to the point.

Not What You Expect From Arabesque! I love African-American romance books. It feels good to read books that reflect the love lives of African-Americans, but this one misses the mark. The plot is too convoluted and unbelievable. I mean I know books are supposed to take you away on a journey, but this one is a little too much. The characters fall in love too quickly. The writing is too stilted and disjointed. Something was just missing all together from this one. It took all I had just to finish the book.

Not What You Expect From Arabesque!
I love African-American romance books. It feels good to read books that reflect the love lives of African-Americans, but this one misses the mark. The plot is too convoluted and unbelievable. I mean I know books are supposed to take you away on a journey, but this one is a little too much. The characters fall in love too quickly. The writing is too stilted and disjointed. Something was just missing all together from this one. It took all I had just to finish the book. I would recommend that you borrow a copy of this from your local library or a friend, but please don't buy it. However, I still love Arabesque and will continue to support them. I'll just stick to the authors I know.

Sisterhood revisited This is a book for someone who can understand the complexity of sisters and who has withstood the ups and downs of adulthhod with her sisters. It touched my heart and soul and made me value my sisters even more. It also was a poignant tale that offers hope for all of life's transitions. It's about revisiting your childhhod from a new adult perspective and discovering that your perceptions were not as accurate as you thought when you were younger. But, even more, it is a book about healing families.I highly recommend this book to all of my friends. It is very enjoyable.

Not worth the money! I did receive product on time and in good condition but was very disappointed with the extreme low dosage of "Aromatherapy"Felt more like burning my money in smoke. Would not recommend and certainly not buy again.

Good Undergraduate Algebra Text Artin was my introduction to Abstract Algebra and I feel it does a great job of using linear Algebra as a motivation for more abstract Group theory. In fact I would venture to say that studying this book would give a thourough introduction to both abstract and linear algebra. The review by Munkres, however, should be enough for most people. NOTE as a general reference a more advanced book would probably work better (Lang, Jacobson, etc)

so much fun for 15 month old & three year old both of my children LOVE this toy! my 15 month-old daughter loves it & picks it to take everywhere. my 3 year-old son loves it too & likes to show my daughter how it works. we also use it as a puppet show (eventhough the characters are not puppets, they still work great behind our theatre) really nice toy that encourages independent play but can also be used for a variety of educational/interactive activities. just got on here to order one as a gift :)

Two Thumbs Up! I'm a big fan of Sayers and have sometimes found "continuations" by other authors to be a disappointment. Luckily, however, Jill Walsh does a *wonderful* job capturing the language and characters of those wonderful fictional friends, Lord Peter and Harriet. A satisfying read and well worth adding to your classic Brit mystery collection.

Long and dull This album is bad. Which is a shame because Michelle Shocked has always been an automatic purchase for me. No more.I don't know if it happened in the mixing, the recording, or with the instrument choices, but whatever it is, it ain't good. The music is the audio equivalent to pouring porridge through a sieve.And since she's found religion, her lyrics have gone from razor sharp attitude and storytelling to just bludgeoning us with a club that is both patronizing and wearisome. She's always written about stuff that is important to her, but she did it in a voice that captured my attention. Now it just turns me off.It is hard to believe this is the same artist that wrote "Anchorage", "Prodigal Daughter", "Memories of East Texas", and "The Cement Lament".

Not so great battery I bought this phone based on consumer report reviews and the corded phone works great but the battery in the cordless phone is terrible. The battery dies after 1 hour of conference call. Then it would take at least 8 hours to recharge again.I would not recommend this phone especially for business use.

A life changing masterpiece.... Kerouac's On The Road is a classic example of one man doing what everyone else secretly wants to. His trips across the country have inspired many to follow his lead and just live. Although that Kaerouac's lifestyle is much more difficult to achieve these days, his book still leaves a huge impact on whoever reads it. A must read for anyone who wants to get the most from life.

A Review of Krisren and Robert's commentary from Eclipse The 3rd movie in the Twilight Saga is actually one of my fvorites.Howevr, I was extremely disappointed in Kristen and Robert;s runningcommentary included in the bonus material. I was looking forward tohearing them speak as themselves, get their thouhts on the film. But theentire segment depicted them as giggly schoolchildren. They made constantsarcastic, disparaging comments about practically everything: the story itself, the acting of other characters,everything. I came away with the feeling that they thought the story was just stupid. I wanted to like these actors. I came away disappointed in these 2 people, whom I had admired so much in the films.

Quiet Time We have had InSinkErator disposals most of our lives. The old one died here recently so we got this one to replace it. Well, let me tell you about how quiet this new disposible has become!!! It is so quiet that I am afraid that down the road I may forget I have it on and may walk away! Yikes, I hope not but just want everyone to know that the InSinkErator is now super quiet and works like a charm but then, it always has been a work horse. If you don't have one now, we know you will love to have one in your future. :o)

They work great and make an old machine useful I had previosly ordered these same memory sticks from another seller and they sent me 512 meg sticks by mistake. This seller got it right. They work great and allow me to put an old HP Pentium 4 2.8Ghz to work. I plan to order more memory since I got two of these machines recently.

Simple, solid, it works I broke the last apple peeler/corer we had as I was processing this year's crop and decided to get a designated corer. I'll keep this short...the OXO has a solid feel, easy to handle grip and it cores apples with minimal effort. What more do you need to know about such a simple device?

Disappointed Jimmy Carter is a great humanitarian, Christian and scholar, but I was so disappointed in several of his statements in this book. I am a liberal Christian like Carter, but one who knows that what is going on between Palestine and Israel is not in the least like Apartheid in South Africa. I can only continue to pray that at some point Palestine's leaders will begin to truly negotiate for peace. Palestinian extremists are doing their own people a grave disservice.

A classic piece of c#&% I really don't know why this stupid movie is often referenced as great. It is so bad and unbelievable- even if you did believe in aliens- that it should only be remembered as embarrassingly bad. I suppose that it pushes the right stupid buttons that gets the fools going. I'll be better off with never hearing of this movie for the rest of my life.

Heavy handed, heavy going. I downloaded the Kindle version when it was offered for free. First of all, I do wish that the Kindle listing clearly stated that this was a book with a heavy Christian slant. I might not have downloaded it if I had known. Not that I have something against all novels with a religious element - some of my favorite books have that - but I have usually found contemporary Christian novels to be extremely heavy handed with the Christian parts. This book is no exception.Beyond that, the writing is okay which is why I give it two stars. However, the characters are for the most part uninteresting, morose, or just plain boring. The one character I even vaguely liked gets killed very early on. I don't require all the characters in a book to be likeable, but at the very least they should be interesting.In any case, I will be reading the descriptions of non-classic free Kindle books a lot more carefully from now on.

Useful but the details are out of date Good for learning the principles and has a good overview of the classes and building blocks of text search, but many of the sub-classes have changed since this edition was first published. Unless you are in a hurry to learn Lucene (I was, and it certainly helped) I would wait until the next edition comes out in September (2009).

Over priced for the service received ....... Would NEVER buy another t-touch Received this watch as a gift from my daughter about 4 years ago. It looks good and worked great for almost all that time. Now as a few other owners I'm having trouble with the touch function. I want it to be known that the watch was worn very little never wet and always kept in a case. I have 25+ watches so I don't ware any of them very much. The T-touch is the only one of my watches that I have had trouble with that cost so much to repair. I had a problem with one of my Fossil watches and sent it back to the factory and it cost me $8.00 shipping.... Needless to say I'll not own another Tissot T-touch ever....... I know if I was part of management in that company follow up service would change........

I Found the record at a thrift shop Six months ago I would have said Andy who? but Irecently bought a restored vintage record player and have enjoyed seacrching through Thrift stores to find vintage records. I bought one of andys records just to see what kind of music he sang. Well soon after I became a avid any Williams fan. This christmas albulm is my latest. although I was born 25 years after this albulm was made I can still enjoy it. It is a great christmas albulm and I would buy it if I did not already have the record.

I wish someone had blanked out my memory of this film Terrible. Absolutely terrible. The Blair Witch Project was amazing and one of the best horror films in years. This travesty of a film is confusing (deep - I don't think so) with such stereo typed "cast" that I really wanted them all to get killed - violently - in the first 5 minutes. I wouldn't recommend this even to people I disliked and am now trying to erase it from my memory - you have been warned!
