Very disappointed and bored by this story
I found it VERY difficult to follow at times. I kept waiting for the pages to grab me right through the end. I expected more thrills and heart pounding excitment and instead got extremely in depth details that were totally unnecessary about climbing tools. If you are an avid climber then read away - if not, take a course and then try to relate. Krakauer relates this to a small percentage of people who are climbing enthusiasts rather than to everyone.

Best Baking
Purchased book as one of my first baking books in early 1970's. Learned so much. Cakes are wonderful, versatile, and make heirloom family event cakes. Use imagination to create wonders. Great sponge cake, and my daughter's all time favorite, Viennese Crescents. Mine is so worn, looking to buy new one.

The Worst Advanced Genetics Book I've Seen
Rumor has it that they sell all the books in the Genes Series by the pound. The extremely large print is very distracting and makes the book very hard to lug around. The illustrations are wonderful, but many times the text is long on pretty colors and short on important details. Mr. Lewin has not referenced his text well, giving only general references some of which are less than helpful. The index was by far the worst aspect of the book--it's almost impossible to find anything. In an informal survey, 3 of 4 students in my medical school class say they would burn their copy of Genes first if they were trapped in a snowstorm and needed the heat.

Too many references to God and the bible for me.
Once again I purchased a book thinking I'd get something out of it, only to find it loaded with references to God and the bible. This is fine if the Christian religion is part of your life but I prefer a non-religious form of advice. I got a couple pages into it, and as with the other book I'd purchased similar to this, stopped reading when the religious message got too heavy. If you are a Christian or ready to convert to one, go for it.

WOW! HOT AND FLAVORFULL
I used to go to the local mall to get this soup. I had to wait 10 minutes just for them to make it. Hot enough to make you sweat a little and flavorfull enough to tingle the taste buds. Add shrimp or chicken, coconut milk and some beansprouts. Heaven in a bowl.

A great strainer!
I love this strainer - it's very functional. I've used it frequently since I bought it two years ago, and it still looks as good as it did the day it arrived. I can easily recommend it!

A Rock'N'Roll Ride
If one imagines a smoke-filled tavern filled with beer-drinking blue-collarers on a busy Friday night, than Arthur Dodge & The Horsefeathers would be the headlining houseband rocking the joint. This album rocks from beginning to end with quality songwriting, expert guitar-playing. and beautiful keyboard parts to boot. "November", the highlight for me, fits itself nicely amongst ballads and a fine mix of different tempo, bar songs. If you like alternative-country ("roots rock") as I do, this album is a must for your collection. Their debut album rocks just as hard, too. This Lawrence, KS-based band deserves everyone's attention, in my opinion.

Good unit for mulitple basic tasks
I recently got the Palm TX and have been very happy with it so far. It serves the purposes I was seeking: an organizer, address book, basic music player and basic wireless internet capability. Although its music functions and internet browsing are limited (compared to say an Ipod or laptop), they function well for what I wanted out of it. But don't buy it if you want all the bells and whistles the others provide.I would recomend buying at least one expansion card (I have one 2GB card) as the unit's memory is limited.Great product for the price.

Not common
"The Romulan Way" is the second book in Diane Duane's Rihannsu series, following "My Enemy, My Ally".The book is original bacause it's located completely in the Rihannsu homeworld and has two clear main characters: McCoy and Arrhae; an ORIGINAL character, who's written as well as an apparent Mry-Sue character can be written.Believe me, I abhore Mary-Sue characterization, but you don't even notice it in this particular novel.I must warn all Spock and Kirk fans though, because one of the book's strenghts is that the two usual main characters of the series are not includet.It is a rare opportunity to see those extremely overused characters give room to more interesting, new characters.The book left me a little frustrated though, because I felt it might have had more to offer than it dit.If that potential had been used, I might have given this book all five stars. Not perfect, but a close must-read nontheless.

not as it appears
very disapointed. this is nothing but a regular component record player with a miniplug adapter and CD in the box with it. if you already have a record player, get the free software and an adapter, and youl have better than this. no digital conversion, no usb. its all software, and not very good software at that. your system needs windows media player to work, and there is no easy direct MP3 conversion. its barely more than recording the line in on your regular sound card software. im serioulsy considering sending it back.

I can't beleive anyone would buy this cd
For those who like this attempt at making music all I can say is JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS! You'd have to be high to think this guy can sing. He sounds more like a burned out wannabe with a synthesized music box backing him up. I can't believe that one reviewer who claimed this is their favorite CD. That may be true, but sister if it is, you've got the poorest taste in music of anyone I've ever heard of.

I Simply Love It!
I recommend this movie with high remarks. I could watch this film over and over again! That's gotta say something about it. It's definitely cute, fun and somewhat of a tearjerker. Great family movie! The bond that the little boy(Jade Calegory) and Mac(creature) come to share is beyond the true meaning of friendship. I went to high school with Jade and he's as every bit sweet as his character! If you haven't seen it, please, take the time to rent it!

Yet More Garbage from Warner Brothers.....
Ocean;s Thirteen has to be the longest most drawn out movie in the whole series. First off the cast of actors look and act clueless in the parts. Like they read the script and said "Okay this is going to be tough."Tough it is. It takes the first half of the movie to plan the crime, the other half just pulling it all off, and then the last half making sure that the cops don't catch wind of this. By the time you get through the planning and all the long scenes and long boring dialoge that makes political speechs easy to understand by contrast, You don't care anymore. You do not care about the characters or the story. You just want to leave the theater in disgust saying "That's money and a few hours of my life that I will never get back again."

Boss BV9250 review
Please do not buy this product. Quality is very low, even if this happens to work. the DVD picture is very poor, this is not even close to the product picture they advertise. the output power is not enough for good sound. so you have to buy a separate amplifier as well. this is first time a decided to save money and I bought a price. Finaly I didn't save -I lost money.

pathetic
his earlier work when he was hungry for stardom was passable and the backup made him sound good but the past few years each album gets worse .this singer is busy with his power trip . he seems to be trying to say how bad how tough, how macho he is but comes through as pushy ignorant and obnoxious ill take george strait garth brooks, and alan jackson these artists manage to be patriotic and gentlemen too they are such talents and sexy i gave this cd away couldnt find anybody who would pay me for it

BOOOO!!!!
I had to move mine and have it plugged into its own power strip, so when it decides to stop doing its job, I can easily flip the power switch with my toe. Last night, I restarted it no less than 5 times in a 3 hour time frame... Don't be afraid of other routers by the same brand though...this one just sucks... I have an old wired one works great, never had a problem, and am waiting for a new wireless one to arrive in the mail... They all look the same, and the numbers are very close, The one I read as the one to buy, and the one I am waiting for is the WRT54GL... maybe you should check it out instead.

Shower me disappointed
I absolutely agree that this tub/shower combo is not worth the money or the aggravation. Luckily, we received this tub as a gift so we didn't waste OUR money on this product. Before I used this tub today, I read the reviews other parents posted to see how others fared. Low and behold, I received the same results. The shower was a good idea with poor execution. In addition, the bath sling was useless. My five month-old kept slipping in the tub therefore not allowing enough leg room for him. The temperature gauge on the shower insert is a joke. Do I need to go on? Long story short, I would NOT recommend this tub. K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid)

meh - awkward language, predictable story arc
I expect better from Nora Roberts. Not enough character development in this one, and I found the storyline incredibly predictable. I got this for 2.99, but it wasn't even worth that. i forgot what this story was about almost as soon as i finished it.

Variable suction, washable HEPA filter, power brush for carpets
My wife says she likes this vacuum because it has good suction and it has variable levels of suction.She also likes the washable HEPA filter, which means she saves some money by not having to buy replacements.The power brush for the carpet cleans better than a normal vacuum, she said.The retractable power cord is another plus. Fortunately, we live in a single-level home, so the vacuum weight isn't an issue. It can be pulled around the house with ease. However, if your house is multi-level, you should be aware the base (including canister) is heavy.

Hip Chick's Review
The book came promptly and in the condition it was promised. It's an amazing philosophy - but I'm wondering how realistic is it to impose on a family of 5. That being said, I do think it' inspired me to infuse our diet with many more healthy options and the recipes are worth trying. Mrse

A Solidly Cute and Funny Comedy-Wow!
I am surprised. This movie was actually a cute and funny comedy done with the utmost respect for the mentally handicapped community. I am also surprised by how much I am beginning to like Johnny Knoxville, particularly after his acting inDaltry Calhoun, a film I suggest for fans of him. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Most of my laughing was reserved for the mentally handicapped actors in this film who did such a terrific job in being aware of their own handicaps and having fun with it at Johnny Knoxville's expense.Though, I admit I would never have gone to see this film in the theaters and probably would have never rented it, I am happy that a friend threw it in a bundle of films he gave me to borrow. If your in the mood for a solid comedy, or are just a bit down, I suggest seeing this film. The actors will inspire you.

Perspective and insight into a wrenching social epidemic
Falling tells the story of Taylor's marriage, famiy and divorce but uses that story to illustrate the larger questions that divorce forces upon those involved. Taylor depicts not only his own story but that of a stunning number of friends, colleagues and neighbors. Each couple's story illuminates a theme or asks a rethorical question. Together these themes and questions create a mirror for every reader, whether divorced or married or single, to examine their own experiences, emotions and beliefs. Taylor guides us through this reflection with tremendous insight and poignant perspective. This book is a life story of choices, consequences, sacrifices, mistakes, luck, ambivalence, pain, conflict and growth. It is real and honest and sad.

we use it as a text book only because roussas teaches here. a lot of students have given bad reviews to this book because it's not readable at all! it doesn't provide any examples for a lot of the thms, and it's very hard to keep track of everything. for example it'll say on page xxx, reffer to thm x.xx, and example xx on chapter xx. @_@ drives you nuts!!!

A Remarkable Book of Ancient Poetry
I devoured this book on a long-distance plane trip recently, and was amazed at the relevance of this collection of ancient, Chinese poems to modern life. Covering the time mostly between 900 B.C. and 1200 A.D., the themes these ancient poets deal with are the same most of us contemplate driving to work in the morning (if we turn off the radio), or lie with as we drift to sleep at night.I found the poetry a little slow at first, but it gets more and more interesting the further one reads. I recommend it for the middle aged or older reader, or for anyone else who has time and inclination to seek the examined life. Food, romance, long-distance marriages and friendships, gender discrimination, the joys and frustrations of military service, the joys and frustrations of bureaucracy, fidelity, infidelity, births, and deaths, humor, sorrow -- it's all there, and speaks to us through the millenia.A great collection at a bargain price!

With that I shall take my leave of you my lord in this world.
So ends this interesting book, with supposidely written journal of a part of Ptolomey's life next to Alexander. The Journal itself once read is interesting but is it really true? What Ptolemy wrote,has been written before in many books,hence this is not really a discovery.The book is written by 2 people Weber and Ptolomey.Weber is rather imaginative,however it has names and locations of many tribes,which previously were not written.Ptolomey well if it is true.It is a great discovery.On the other hand if these are indeed the chornicles of Alexander why the Archeological world has not mentioned it?I still give it a 5 stars,intersting and extremely entertaining.However,Alexander died of malaria not of poison as Weber writes here.

Automobile Painting And Carriage And Wagon Painting
Great title!I thought it sounded promising, but I wass dismayed- a tiny book of mostly text.I was expecting a few scrolls and other embellishments suitable for carriages to be discussed.I was let down. Did I mention how tiny the book was?It contains good historical stuff-but so do plenty of better books-that information is not scarce.I'm glad I had a look at it, but in hindsight would rather have kept my money.

Caution
This is NOT a 'how to' book on Gunsmithing, if that is what you are looking for. It is an academic history of the gunsmith's trade in the United States over the last 400 years. It is a book for other academics and those interested in the history of gunsmithing in the US. The price is rather steep for anyone not a researcher, such as those more casually interested in gun histroy.For those with the interest, it is a well documented and annotated piece of work.

Humidistat malfunction
I read lots of reviews and settled on this model. I like white noise at night so those complaints didn't bother me. When it came, I plugged it in and everything worked well. When I unplugged it to refill the resevoir, the humidistat switched from reading the actual humidity to registering either 'HI' or 'LO'. The unit won't run if it says 'HI'. I emailed Hunter and they said this couldn't be fixed and to return the unit. So I did. The replacement came and, after 30 minutes, the humidistat switched to 'HI' and the unit no longer runs. The first time, I thought it was just a bad unit. The second time, it looks like a manufacturing defect. I called the service desk and they advised me to try a third one. I'm thinking no...

An American girl lost in Paris
This disc is so amazing and really channels the vibe of having grown up on punk, new wave, and alternative music and matured into a listener who appreciates blues, jazz, and other songs best sung in the dark, smoky den of a bar off the beaten path.

The Perfect Manhattan is the perfect summer read! It blends romance, social commentary, comedy, and gossip within the lush backdrop of New York and the Hamptons.

Tv is not a babysitter
This guy is #uc!^g nuts! Ok here is the problem some lazy parents use tv as a babysitter. If you let your children watch a show and don't talk about it with them then what they do is your fault not the shows. That being said how do you have a plot with no conflict? You can't have the rangers in vite the monsters over for tea and cookies that would be really boaring. Implied sexual inuendo? I haven't seen that when I watched. Tommy and kimberly were dateing and that was about it.

Tastes like cardboard
I have been buying the unsweetened carob chips from a local high end supermarket. I decided to try these since they cost less. What a mistake! These taste like cardboard! I was very disappointed after having bought 5 lbs. thinking they would be the same. These are awful! I had to throw them out and go back to buying the other ones at the supermarket. Sometimes it doesn't pay to try and save money, in this case it didn't. Also, when they arrived, 2 packages were melted, so they were not packaged well.

A Good Look at Autism
This wonderful novel provides the reader/listener with an insight into Autism which is truly useful. I have read and listened to it using both mediums and have gained information and appreciation of this condition. The audio version is specially well done. Such readings add a dimension that brings the characters and situations even closer than does the reading but the reader requires very special skills, which this audio version offers.I found the audio version through Amazon which connected me to the individual that was selling the product as used. The entire transaction went well.

Here's the run down: You've got a emotionally compromised psychic investigator who has been sent to an intellectually compromised town. He's heard creepy stuff has been happening and he's a scientist sent to do his thing. He does everything but behave like one however.To give him credit, 'ol Herb the author did have some suspense going. But as I was turning the pages, I was grimacing to find out what was next. There was an exceedingly large portion of icky violent scenes. And by ick, I mean things being ripped off, oozing down, cracking apart etc etc... Another con, would be the psychic-link romance quotient... Yeah, who'd a thought.

I always prided myself in finishing every book that I started no matter how bad. Patrick O'Brian managed to give me an Ol' Broadside. I just couldn't finish it.

Disappointing
Readers who have enjoyed Robin Cook's medical thrillers will be disappointed by this book. The setting updates a tired science fiction idea -- an inhabited world miles under the surface of the Earth -- without adding much of interest. The characters are not very sympathetic, and the ending is essentially a joke. One hopes that Cook will go back to biomedical themes, and that publishers will not print everything a famous writer puts out.

ANTI CATHOLIC HATE LITERATURE
This is more anti-catholic material by a person who has an extremely narrow view of all religious beliefs but his own. Not only does he hate Catholics but only respects those that follow his very peculiar interpretation of the Bible. He represents a very small minority of sects which based their teachings on a narrow and twisted view of scripture that is in oppostion to most major christian denominations not only catholics. if you hate catholics, this is the book for you! If you want truth, save your money.

More poor fitting Chinese junk
I feel it is false advertising to list a product as an exact fit that is missing screw and bolt holes. The second problem is that the radiator cap from the original radiator doesn't seem to fit the Spectra (ready-rad) to seal proper. I may pull this out, pay the extra and have the old one re cored. What you save in product cost you lose in time and frustration. Amazon should have these manufactures revise their description to "some modification may be needed".

Terrible for thick Kentucky Bluegrass
If you have thick Kentucky Bluegrass, I'd avoid this one. It gets stuck and ends up tearing up your lawn. Also, it claims to cut as high as 3 inches, but it was absolutely butchering my grass at the highest level. I could see it working just fine on normal grass with no slopes as long as you mow at least once a week.

Overrated Chimino Finally Falls
Following the excessive praise of The Deer Hunter, a very offensive and unintelligent film, Hollywood was expecting Chimino to be the next Coppola or Houston. This film, however, proved that Chimino was and always will be an overrated "artist."Isn't it interesting that the same thing is happening to Quentin Tarritino 20 years later?I'm so happy that Quentin Tarritino is slowly joining Michael Chimino in the "over-hyped and faded-out" category. Just go away, fellas.

Solid Build Quality, much like the one I owned years ago!
Very satisfied with the 2011 version of Radio Flyer wagon classic. Very little plastic in this current model, and looks like it should last for years. My grand daughter loved it on Christmas morning. Two fairly minor issues: First, I had to redrill two holes on the wood side rails because the pre drilled holes didn't line up with the wagon; Second, the rubber smell from the tires stunk up the house so badly that we had to put the wagon outside for the first few nights after assembly! These were inconveniences, but well worth it because my grand daughter ended up with a durable wagon that should give her years of service, instead of the cheap plastic models sold at Target or KMart or Toys-r-Us that would break and end up in the Landfill quickly!

Unit received on a timely basis. Nice quality for the price. Only thing I don't like is you can't set one to wind in one direction and the other a different direction, they both have to go either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Desert Island CD
This is definitely one of those "desert island" CD's. You know, if you were stuck on a desert island, what's one of the CD's you'd have to have with you? This would be one of them for sure. I've been listening to this CD for YEARS now, and it just doesn't get stale. It's also beautifully and creatively packaged... This one's a collector's item for sure, which is why it's so hard to find!

Many errors, I don't not recommend it.
I have several Ukrainian friends and they tell me that there are many errors in the book.

Ineffective amount
300 mg of freeze dried black raspberry powder equals a little over 1 black raspberry. You would have to take at least 50 capsules per day to obtain anything close to the level being used in research. Try an extract like this one for more potency:Black Raspberry Extract - equivalent to over 266 capsules of 300mg of freeze dried powderOr just purchase the pure powder and add to smoothies.

Sweet Game!!
this has some really great graphics and stuff. the sweet thing is that you have bonus levels so that u can be yoda,dark vader ect. The games has a lot of things that the movie dosn't have like clone ninijs, sniper jedis,trade federation elite forces ect. This game may be rated "T" but is has no blood, when you kill a droid it just falls apart.

this CD is the coolest Sublime CD ever made.
this sublime Cd is good for many reasos. First, it has many previously un-released songs (ex.- "Chick On My Tip). it also has a cool insrumental song at the end entitled "Thanx Dub". another reason it is good is because it has some cool songs made with input from other artists...and it has a cool song featuring Gwen from th group No Doubt.

Brownie Girl Scouts Love It
My Brownie Troop is using this book to prepare for "Thinking Day" - a day Girl Scouts learn about other countries and cultures. The book is full of activities that first graders love - mazes (Istanbul landmarks), color by number (a ceramic plate), hidden pictures (the Dolmabahce Palace), connect the dots (the Blue Mosque), etc. The girls will have a fun time learning about Turkey and it was soooo easy for me, their leader! My daughter can't wait for our "Turkey meeting"!

Disappointed in Wahl shaver
Because we have been happy with another Wahl device, a hair trimmer named "Peanut," when I had a difficult time finding a reliable foil shaver (Boy! When you review shavers here, it looks like there are a lot of unhappy users!), I tried this Wahl Pro 8061 5-STAR Beard Shaver For Men. I used it for less than two weeks and the foil split. I do not recommend this shaver at all. In addition, the packaging the vendor shipped the shaver in was very inadequate. The shaver was so loose in the package that the shipping process caused the shaver to actually break out of the clamshell packaging. When I opened the box, the shaver was just sitting loose in the box.

Glad to see it's not just me - this phone is a loser
I was shopping for a new phone today to replace this ..., and stumbled across these reviews. Glad to see it's not just me who is having problems with this phone. It looked like a great deal when I bought it, but mine suffers from all the same problems outlined by numerous reviewers already. It "loses" the handset, even when you pick it up right from the base - frequently, you have to hang it up again to let it reset before you can answer the phone. When the power goes out, even for a second, you have to pull the power cord out and remove the backup battery to get it working again, erasing all your messages and settings - so much for having a backup battery! Also, the sounds quality is poor compared to my cordless Lucent and Panasonic phones.Do yourself a favor and take a pass on this phone.

Rather Boring (even for regular life)
I have read the reviews and seen the movie all the way through. It was a very boring way to say something that could be summed up in 30 minutes. Yes, life isn't always exciting, life isn't always amazing, but life isn't always so pointless. Even in high school (I'm 27 now) which I still have nightmares about having to go back to, things were never so bleak and mundane. I guess this perspective isn't shared by all, but I was a dork: Never changed in front of other guys, had geeks for friends, was 5' 5" at most, got picked on, etc.... and I never thought it was pointless. I was into music, still am. I also started taking drugs, thank GOD! Maybe if I hadn't I'd like this movie more. I just thought this sentiment could be made better, that's all, and I don't reccommend this movie for anyone, really. I guess the moral to this review is: let your kid do drugs or they may try to kill people. Just kidding... Really though, let your kids do drugs.

truly beautiful
Elliott Smith wears his inspirations on his sleeve and sings like an angel. I have fallen in love with this album. Either/or is an album full of hauntingly beautiful songs that give me faith again that at least one man is still making music worth listening to. Somehow this is the punkest album I've heard in a long time...in the gentlest, sparest way. Brilliant!

Something Real For A Chance!
I am a poet myself.I really liked this book"Reality Poems".It is real as real can be.First of all it warms you up at the beginning and then in the middle it starts to get steamy but towards the end it is hot as it can get.This book tells it like it is and that is what i liked the most.Somebody to tell the truth.

Peh...
I read this manga a couple months ago...It's a fluffy manga directed towards young girls, which is extremely ironic considering I'm both of those...Again, the main character is an orphan *yawn* I've yet to see a manga where the main character had both parents...I really tried to get into this manga despite the fact I see fangirls squelling over it. I bought the second and third manga and maybe it could just be because I tend to like mangas with a little more action and the fact that I'm not much of a romantic...But I just. Didn't. Like it.If your anything like me, I'd suggest going towards mangas with a tad bit more fight...Mainly, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, YuYu Hakusho, or Naruto.Happy Otakuing!

Best NJB edition
The NJB, which I've just began to read, is a nice, easy to read translation thats less literal then the RSV for example, but the style is easy to read. It has a bit of inclusive langauge, but not as much as the NRSV.I like the format (single column) and the notes at the bottom of the page, also near the page edge is referanced where passages is quoted in the other books of the Bible.The format and font is clear and easy read, though the footnotes are a bit small, theres a good hard cover, but not sure if it will stand up to a lot of use!One important thing is to make sure you get the Doubleday, hardback ISBN 0385142641, 2136 page edition if you want all the notes.Personally, I think this Bible compliments the RSV and NAB Bibles I have very well.5 stars.

Rip-Off Alert
This looks like a kid's book, but is marketed as adult level. Twelve dollars for what? I'm still scratching my head. Lucas didn't make enough money on the special editions at the box office, so he ran out and threw this 100 page no-brainer together and is charging an arm and a leg. Don't waste you money like I did

Well-made, interesting war film worth seeing!
They don't make many films about World War I, partly because it was such a poorly-fought conflict consisting almost entirely of soldiers being machine-gunned down in no-man's land. And the Gallipoli campaign was one of the most brutal, as well-illustrated in this movie. Still, I really liked this film, if only for the historical insights as to what would make an Australian travel half-way around the world to die fighting the Turks? A great film, with a great cast!

A real sleeper war movie, a must buy for all war movie library's.
A real sleeper of today's classic movies, particularly war movies. Very funny, and thought provoking too. You'll like it. Haven't seen it on any of the cable or movie classic shows ever, but they should. Not sure why they haven't.

utencil useless
I've always found the "Pie Server" utensil useless, especially if you don't have room for kitchen cabinets to store all the utensils. You can get by just by using a fork and a regular butter knife or a turner, a flipper or spatula.That is what I tend to use. You do have a higher Pie drop ratio with a fork and a butter knife or spatula but it won't matter unless you're in a social setting where a "Pie Server" utensil is deemed absolutely necessary. And then, you'll probably be eating caviar with snob Pie anyways. Sometimes I even use my dirty hand or just use a dirty spoon to eat Pie out of the tin.Now, I just use the Oxo SteeL Pie Server as a Masonry trowel for spreading mortar on bricks or concrete blocks with a technique called "buttering". It isn't "heavy duty" but for touch up jobs, it's acceptable.

Heats evenly on medium heat
Sometimes I just have to cook on medium heat. When I do, I reach for a pan with a high copper content. I finally decided to turn the copper content all the way up to "11." So I bought a Mauviel M'Heritage M150B 8.6" Round Frying pan.The Mauviel M'Heritage M150B 8.6" Round Frying pan works great for a little light duty cooking. These pans are a decent compromise in that they are copper pans that have a thin stainless steel liner. Stainless steel and copper have wildly different reactions to salts and acids, so you'll want to watch what you are doing. Just read the directions that come with the pans and it'll last forever.

It could have been great
First half of the movie was great...the second half completely ruined the movie with a terrible pointless ending.After the ending, I was actually hoping I could find a way to get my time back. What a waste of time.

Great CD-R disks at an excellent price.
I've already used these for many different applications, music format for factory car stereos, mp3 cd's, data cd's. They work great with no problems so far using a slower burning process, which is recommended to ensure error free writes. If you're getting errors burning these disks, slow the write speed. This is a common problem that some people don't know about and blame the disk, instead of blaming the cheap drive they use or the software they are using to burn it with. I'm not gonna say they do or don't work great burning at 52x because I know from experience that that the faster you burn, the potential for errors increase, so I never burn at 52x. Besides, it's only 700MB, how quick do you need it done? Ten seconds?

save your money
I thought this toy looked great but soon found differently. My 3 and 5 year old tried to play but it did not hold their interest at all. The toy is quite cheaply made and I keep finding it apart after it is used. There are so many great games and the price on this one does not warrant purchasing. Save your money!!!

Not Impressed- Football was frayed
I ordered this football for my 9-year old son, as it is the perfect size for him to practice in the backyard with his dad. I was so disappointed when we got it. It was frayed on the ends, and the material felt like it had a cheap wax coat over it. Also the ties weren't completely placed correctly. Needless to say, we shipped it back right away, and went with a better, slightly more expensive brand. The few extra dollars was worth the hassle. I defiantly wouldn't recommend this.

Challenging and infuriating, but worth it.
If you read "Mrs.Dalloway" with an eye to plot it will be slow and its greatness will remain obscure.However, if a reader relaxes and lets herself enjoy the tender prose, and the emotional storm suffered by many characters(especially Septimus and his wife), Mrs. Dalloway will haunt the mind with its insights.Furthermore, reading "Mrs.Dalloway" is great preparation for its inspired (and there I say superior) contemporary sequel,"The Hours."

Not as good as I expected
My daughter has had this for almost a year. It is still working but does not get used very much. I was wanting to get a microphone that could record her singing so I got this but am very disappointed regarding the recording. It only records for a short time and it is not long enough to even get through a whole song. There is some amplification but have to make sure that the bottom part of microphone is turned the right way for it to work. The very bottom of the microphone turns which I guess is the on off switch for applification, which might be why so many people have problems with it if they don't realize that is how it works. However even with it on it is not very loud. My daughter likes the songs that are stored in the microphone so that is really the only thing good about it. It is fine for a play microphone but if your wanting something more realistic than don't buy this.

bigger and still black
although this little diddy seems to make the picture bigger, its still too dark to see and makes for games that require fast hand movement such as tony hawk 2 impossible to play, as things are just as blurry and dark as before.
