Fun toy! My son got this for Xmas when was almost 10 months old.He was just learning to crawl and pull himself up to things, sohe couldn't reach the top for a little while. Now he can standnext to it and drop the balls down the hole and he loves the music. The push button smiley face was hard for him to push down to make music for a while. He'd rather push the little yellow ones on the inside instead. He takes the balls all over the place and he loves to throw them. He has a fun time with it!

His Favorite Toy My son recieved this toy for Christmas at 8 months old. My entire family has gotten a huge kick out of watching him learn to dance holding onto it. I guess I've been lucky; he's never gotten his arm stuck or fell over. For us it has been the most exciting learning toy to watch him with. There were several different phases he went throuh as he's gotten older. He's now 14 months and still plays with it. I can't say enough about how fun it has been to see him realize where the balls were going to come back out. He would put them in the top, then bend over and look into the bottom. The dancing was just adorable as well!! We love it!

THE ONLY TOY MY ONE YEAR OLD PLAYS WITH! My one year old boy got spoiled for his First Birthday, but this is the only toy he has played with from the beginning and still plays with. His Mom and Dad enjoy it's lively tune as well! A great, just-for-fun toy!

Not a dissapointment, but not the toy of the year either. I had been told by friends that this was "the toy" to get for a baby who was just pulling up and on their way to walking. Maybe they didn't have a three year old who plays with all the toys for her younger sister either. I think that my 10 month old will enjoy this toy more as she grows. ... . I really like the fact that this toy gives you the option to have the volume loud, soft, or off. More electronic toys need this option. Overall, this is a good toy for potential walkers and will be even a better toy for beginning walkers and with playgroups.

It's nothing to write home about This toy looks very attractive with it's bright colors and snazzy tunes but it is very unstable. If your little one is just learning to pull him/herself up be very careful. Your little one will trying and pull themselves up but the toy is not at all strong enought to support them and it will tip over onto your child. It's great for playing with your child on knees but standing up is not a good idea

TERRIBLE! My husband and I really don't like this toy. First of all it is not very sturdy - my 8 month old easily tips it as she tries to pull up to standing. And it slides across the floor as she tries to pull up on it. Worst of all it is designed poorly as the the balls get stuck in the track as they spiral down - very annoying. It's too bad as this toy has potential. My daughter loves to stand and play and likes the silly music the toy plays. But now she only plays with the balls the toy came with.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS I purchased this toy for my daughter because it implies that it helps them to pull up and stand. My daughter grabbed the handles and as soon as she tried to pull herself up, the toy toppled over and she landed on her back. I returned it immediately! I would not recommend this toy.

THANK YOU! I won't buy this toy! I for one appreciate the information from the parents of babies with problems getting their arms stuck, and rather than buying a potentially dangerous toy, I will take the advice of those who have experienced these problems firsthand. Safety is not just about supervision, but also about not putting your child into a bad situation to begin with.

BORING My child liked pushing the button that made the music. That was all it was good for. The beat was fun and happy, but the rest of the toy was a flop. Tipped too easy for early standers. Balls all over the house. Never could find a ball when you needed one. Other items got stuffed in it and stuck. Don't waste your money.

Fun! But not for learning to pull up. I bought this toy for my 25 pound 9 month old son (yes, he's a big boy). He loves the flashing lights and he "dances" to the music. He quickly learned to use his finger to push the little buttons inside the chutes to make the music play. It works okay if your child is pretty good at balancing himself while pulling up, but it will tip over on him at times. Overall, a pretty good toy for the money, but not the stablility I expected from Fisher-Price.

Standing AND playing with balls.... how great is that?? This is a great toy - kids can stand AND play with balls - two favorites for this 8 month old! It would be a 5 star except that the stand could be heavier duty so that it doesn't tip when little ones try to pull on it to stand up. Also, about half of the time the balls get stuck in the bottom and don't roll out the exit ramps. When you overlook those two things... this is such a fun toy!

Big Disappointment I purchased this toy for my 9 month old. She was learning to pull herself up and stand. I had to assemble the toy and the pieces didn't fit well so the balls got stuck. As my child tried to pull herself up, the toy would tip over and fall on her. Thank goodness the toy is light and she wasn't hurt. I was very disappointed, and finally returned the toy to fisher price. I don't recommend this toy to anyone. Something is wrong if it can't support the weight of a child. I got a crawl and play gym instead and love it!

fun with caution Now that my son stands well and uses his legs to stand up with more than his arms to pull up with I like this toy better. At first we was forever pulling it over on himself. And once he did get his arm stuck in it too, but all in all it has been a fun toy. Now that he is a little bigger and stronger he does not pull it over (only when he wants to) or get his arm stuck. If you are thinking of getting this for a new stander be careful. It is still pretty fun.

I wouldn't recommend this toy for younger children... Overall this toy was what I expected, but at about the age when you would purchase this toy, my son was pulling himself up by holding onto things, so this toy just toppled over on him. Granted it is lightweight and certainly did not harm him, but I think the construction could have been a little better. But I must say that once he was standing up and we held the toy in place, he really enjoyed it.

DANGEROUS!!! There are a lot of reviews gone here. I read 238 reviews here last week and a lot of them need to be read. Don't buy this toy. Children are getting their arms stuck and some have even had to call 911 to get their children out. The top comes off at any given time and if you put this toy together than you have seen the sharp rod that is exposed. I bought this toy for my daughter and as she tried to pull herself up on it she fell backwards and the toy landed on top of her smacking her in the face. It's not properly weighted. This toy should be the next recall!!!

DANGEROUS! DON'T BUY this toy!!! I let my daughter stand holding on to the toy and it toppled immediately. Not only did she fall and hit her head on the floor, the toy fell over her and hit her forehead. I don't understand why this toy got an award. All I can tell that it's poorly made and it's dangerous.

For the Birds! This did not satisfy my yen to hear my favorite bird call which is the loon. In fact, I thought the whole CD was not up to the quality I'd like to have. So I wouldn't buy it again.

EMI both Radiated and Conducted This switching supply generates radiated and conducted interference. I can't recommend it for powering a radio, or operating it in the vacinity of a radio. When current draw is very low, it produces 120 Hz noise also. A better design one would expect from Sony.

You've Got To Be Kidding! Yep, Original Artists, they dug these great folks up after 35 years, stuck them in a small closet, hired third rate musicians, and recorded their original hits. Some of the efforts are so rediculous you can't help but laugh. These are great folks from a time when we were younger and passionate. Unless you can't tell the difference between a Howler Monkey mating call or a jet engine under full thrust for takeoff, don't waste your money or time on this Canadian fiasco.

Not an OS X application What it doesn't say here nor on the finalemusic.com website is, this is an OS 9 ("classic") application. If you have managed finally to dispense with all your "classic" Mac applications, you'll want to think twice before ordering this one. It's so "classic" that the Installer tells you it can't be run under OS X but you must REBOOT into OS 9 before installing!This was a shock, because the same company's Finale NotePad -- surely the best value in free software anywhere! -- does run native in OS X.

not objective. quite opinionated As I work in the computer industry, I thought an objective book on the effect of pornography on society would be an interesting read. Unfortunately, this book is not objective, and I have had a very difficult time trying to read it. Like on the news were they finish a clip and have to add in their own 2 cents, "oh that's horrible Jane. I agree Mike"...the author adds her opinion to the text.

KitchenAid KMTT400BW 4-Slice Metal Toaster toaster works fine. Minor criticism: a little slow, and toaster wells could be an inch deeper to accomodate larger slices of bread.

Matchbox is best When my son, who is 4, saw this in a display case, he wanted to put it in the shopping cart so he could buy it. He immediately took a liking to it. So Santa brought him one for Christmas this year. It is a big hit.It is easy to assemble and LOTS of action fun. There's a big button the kids get to hit to send the car up to the top. What kid doesn't like to hit something? The next coolest thing, to me, is the carosel. The cars are lifted on the carosel to the top and then roll down the track. The carosel is battery powered, which makes it more fun for the kids. There's also a cannon that you can launch your car out of. That provides crashing action for your child. Then there is even the extra of trap doors that your child can operate.My son received two hotwheels tracks too, but they were not as easy to assemble nor as fun. One of them I wish we had left at the store.This toy is way cool! Matchbox has won my business from now on.

Loved! This story of a single mom learning how to let people in again was absolutely wonderful! As always, great strong characters developed by Nora Roberts!

Outdated I was really stoked to buy this after reading all of these reviews... but if you're really interested in the subject I would go with something else. This is very outdated. Many of the "tips" don't really apply anymore. If you already consider yourself an avid thrift store shopper, this won't be new to you.

Enjoyable Reference This is a well-organized book that offers the history of and rules of play for many different kinds of games, indoors and out, with playing pieces and without. One of the many things I enjoy about this book is that you can flip through it and your eyes will be caught by a two-color illustration of some game, such as a card game, and you may think, "Hmm, that looks interesting." Then you read about the game and most likely play it.

LOVE THESE KNIVES! I use this knife for cutting everything! Yes, I said everything!It's so sharp that it glides through tomato's, cheese, olives, garlic, grapes, apples. You name it.I am giving this knife as a gift to everyone I know this year.

Super sharp, super affordable You can't beat the price - I purchased two of these. Super sharp, so sharp that I cut my thumb the first time using it! Easily handles any slicing job.

Forschner / Victorinox Paring Knife, 3 1/4 in Straight, Forschner / Victorinox Paring Knife, 3 1/4 in Straight, Small, Black Nylon Handle Model 40600I love this knife, I have several from this maker and not a bad word on any of them.

Works exactly as it should! This knife was recommended by ATK. I have enjoyed all of the tools I have purchased because of their recommendations. This knife is no exception. It is flexible, strong, and sharp. The handle is easy to grip and doesn't slip. I wish I had purchased two.

No Corn Flavor A number of other reviewers said they didn't like the flavor. What flavor? It had almost none and if you are hoping for the flavor of corn you'll need to concentrate very hard to imagine it's there. If it was possible to give zero stars...

Really weird aftertaste I've made cornbread with this mix a few times now, and it comes out with a funky aftertaste every single time. It's so gross. I wouldn't buy this ever again. Just make your own mix. It's not hard at all.

Hard to believe it's Gluten-free!! I bought one bag of this at a local health food store and I LOVE IT!! It's so EASY to make, which is such a bonus for Gluten-free baking. It is incredibly moist and has a spongy texture (although some may not like that as it is a bit different than a traditional cornbread taste....) It's good Gluten-free cornbread. There's no other way to describe it.

It's ok I just did not like the taste. I have used other GF corn bread mix that my family and I have enjoyed more. Wish I did not by a case.

Great music! I wish that there were more stars to give, this is the only cd that I permanently leave in my cd changer. I just think his voice is incredible and soothing. I listen to it SO much that this is my third copy I am purchasing. I have to get one for the car and one for the house. There is not one track that I don't love.Great from start to finish.What ever happened to him? I am fiending for some more of his beautiful music!

Kevon's CD Is Great! 'How often' do you get to listen to great music? Once you start listening to Kevon's album, you'll be listening to it '24/7'. His duet with Face is a work of art. You've done it again Kennith. Much props... I especially enjoy tracks #1 thru #9. This is a must for your CD collection. Too bad there's only a 5 star rating system 'cause I would of given it 10 stars. Peace....

An R&B Record for Grown Ups. The r&b world might not have realized it, but it suffered a big loss when the vocal group After 7 broke up. They were the stellar r&b male vocal group Boyz II Men should have been, releasing albums of comtemporary, yet classic, soul that stood head and shoulders above much of their younger, MTV-friendly peers. Member Kevon Edmonds branches out into a solo career of his own, and pulls it off well with his debut. Impressively, the disc doesn't cower to trends or feature guest rappers. The spotlight belongs entirely to Edmonds, delivering suave mid-tempo grooves and tight ballads. "Never Love You" and "A Girl Like You" are pretty much standard Babyface fare, though Edmonds shines in "Love Will Be Waiting" and the title track. "24/7" is a fine album that manages to be old school without being old fashioned, and in the world of r&b, that's no mean feat.

Great Product I have used this in the mountains, on the bike trail and on the road and am very impressed with it.

Some doubts... I bougth this unit one month ago.I really like the color screen, the micro SD Card, and some functions.But I really have doubts: the reception is not good enough, if I lost reception I have to turn off the unit and turn on again to catch the satellite again. I lost reception very easy, if I am walking in a canyon, or inside a building. Also, when I just turn on the unit, It delays a lot if I was moving. For me It is a very basic GPS no maps preload, only the recreational maps, that's it.I read that the Garmin GPS 60CXs is much better.

Geocacher I purchased the Vista CX after wanting to upgrade from my Legend. The first out caching, the unit was very eradic and took me 400' feet from the cache. After calibrating the compass, I got within 80' feet. Second cache it got within 90' of it. Garmin CS said they never heard of this but the Vista I purchased two years did the same thing. They both were returned, needless to say. If you want a great no frills GPS, stick with the Legend. Most cachers with higher end Garmins fuss about the cords being off from lower end units. Garmin just can't see to make the expensive units with many features be accurate. The Vista line keeps building on a poor platform. I am waiting on my new Magellan Explorist 500 from Amazon.

MY BALLS MY BALLS WORK REAL WELL, THEY ARE DEFINATELY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER BALLS BECAUSE THEY ARE FASTER AND FEEL LESS FRAGILE AND ARE PROFESSIONAL. I DON'T KNOW, ARE THERE BETTER BALLS THAN MY BALLS?

Butterfly makes great balls. I wasn't sure what to expect with these balls but within 10 minutes of playing with them, my doubts were dispelled. They bounce very evenly and true and have a very smooth feel. I definitely noticed a difference between these and the other couple brands I play with (Stiga and Joola).

Solid balls These balls are solid. Quite expensive, but worth the pay. No irregular bouncing, and can withstand the most brutal smashes!

Very informative read Bought this for a friend with eye issues. He was happy with the book. Very informative and full of helpful information.

A Touching Movie... This is unlike any other Bollywood movie I have ever seen. At first I wasn't sure I would like it but I was glad to be wrong. It is a must see. I would say that the back and forth between time periods was a little confusing and I had to watch it a second time in order to follow the story line fully, but even slightly confused it was still wonderful. It's not even a movie that can be fully described, it is one that just needs to be watched. Laugh out loud, heart breaking, innocent, and pure sweetness to watch!

These are how much??? The rating is for the seller, not the product. I can pick these up at my local Home Depot for $5, $5!!!! You want to charge $12 + $6 shipping?? That is ridiculous!

The Streets need to learn to read and write This latest musical contribution from one of England's burgeoning chav rappers epitomises everything that is wrong with English society today. With no evidence of a formal education or any original poetry in his work,the album floats in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry. The fact that he has done so well is an alarming fact,the mainstream music audience of the UK has once again spoken for itself.There is very little musical invention from within in this album as the previous one, I highly recommend renting it from a CD library or listening to the free samples just to see how bad it actually is. I would rather spend that money on garden fertilizer. British hiphop is in a bad bad way...

Good? Yes. Recommended? With hesitiation. The Streets (MC Mike Skinner) has a good amount of talent. His rhymes, while not always the most clever, are decent enough and you can get swept into certain songs with ease.As stated in my review of Dizzee Rascal, The Streets get a lot of indie (white hipster) acclaim but very little from the US rap/hip-hop community. This is mainly due to the difficulty in understanding the MC. UK rappers tend to use a lot of UK street lingo and most of the rhymes come at you at a furious pace - generally much faster than standard US rap. Skinner is talented but I'd say this CD doesn't live up to the crazy hype it's been receiving from the indie circle.

INCREDIBLE!!! BUY THIS ALBUM! All of the other reviews are dead on. The Streets are a breath of fresh air!! WOW! Incredible haunting melodies on "Blinded By the Lights" and absolutely up to the second as he sends SMS messages on his cell phone while looking for the girl! Some of these tunes have the soul-gripping power of "Comfortably Numb". I am going to tell everyone I know about this album!!

You Call This Rap My friend is obsessed with this guy but I herd him and how can this guy be a rapper he has no flow and his lyrics are commical. All the dude does is talk through ever song this is not rap so whoever thinks this guy is a rapper needs to get an education in rap. Listin to Kanye West,Twista,The Game OR 50 cent who actually have some flow and can be considerd real Rap music not this british talking crud, and to think my firend says these are the most amazing beats hes ever herd which i WHOLEY DISAGREE the neptunes,Dre now those are beats these are laughable terrible rapper in my opinion

Pesh! I was pretty disappointed with this album. I am a big fan of Original Pirate Material and thought it was refreshing to hear something that was a bit different from what we were getting in the states. I don?t think that anything was a step up from Skinner?s last album. The beats are pretty basic and the content of the lyrics remind me of a friend telling you a story that you have to try and will yourself not to tune out. The good spots of the album are the catchy ?Fit But You Know It?. The rest of the album is sappy, corny, and surprisingly, unlike its predecessor not very innovative.I know I shouldn?t compare this album to OPM, but you really can?t help it. I wasn?t expecting another OPM. I was expecting more. I guess that it goes to show that you can?t believe the hype. I?ve never heard an album that made me so bored by its subject matter that it made me want to get up and go do something else. Believe me I gave it a couple of goes, but I can?t make myself like this album.

Disappointed I bought this book for the CD as I wanted a product that is interactive and where I could test my knowledge as claimed.The CD failed to install and I went on to contact [email protected] (contact details provided on the Pring site). Had an email back asking if I was interested in trying their Beta version. I replied asking a few questions on how I can do this etc but never heard back.Thoroughly disappointed!!

so disappointed until... I used to go to Webster Hall in the late '80s and early '90s, when the 'boys room' parties were circuiting around Manhattan venues. So, I opted to buy this collection because of the price being so nil compared to the discs intact, five in all, and was disappointed by the 'straight' style of music being played....until I got to the last disc. It is worth the money for the last disc unto itself. I put that disc #5 on the spinner and could not believe the brilliant collection of 'boys room' sounds. a must for the collector.

One of the best fantasy books I have ever read I just finished the book and have been kicking myself for not reading it sooner! It is extremely well written with superb character development, great story flow and gut busting humor. Bazil and Relkin are better developed and more likable characters then any since Sam and Frodo. I am picky when it come to what fantasy books I read and this one is in my hall of fame. Read my ad; Buy This Book Now! You wont regret it.

Bazil is Beautiful! Want to escape to another world so thoroughly that time just slips away? Come with Bazil and his friends as they defend their world against all kinds of evils.Great characterizations, a unique SF imaginative vision, superb action writing style, and a touch of terran Napoleonic War history brought to another galaxy make the entire series a wonderful read. Not since Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels have I had such a great time going to war!It was Bazil who came to my rescue through a recent long illness. Many thanks, Christopher Rowley!

Tastes good, easy to make This tastes rich, creamy, and smooth with just the right amount of caffeine kick I need in the morning. The only pitfalls would be high calorie content and some genetically modified ingredients thrown in.

Dirty This might have been a fun book if it had been more decent, but it just went too far. It deserves an R rating, and I find nothing at all amusing about that. I threw it in the trash before I was half done. And I won't pick up any more of Barry's fiction unless I have reason to believe it's no worse than a PG-13.

Must have a defective unit. I bought this radio because of the good reviews. I liked the digital tuning. It was very easy to lock on stations and the presets are also a nice feature. The sound quality was another story. Many of the other reviewers had commented on the very good sound quality, but the unit I bought sounded so bad that neither my wife, nor I could listen to it for more than a few minutes. Actually it sounded like what you would expect from such a small radio. I might have just purchased a defective unit. I just can't imagine how anyone could say my radio sounds very good or even ok. If you are thinking about buying one, check out the return policy. I sent mine back and I think I'm going to get hit with postage both ways plus a restocking fee. Ouch!

Weather Radio Useless We live in a major hurricane area, so one of the main reasons I bought this radio was for the weather function. Because of our location we have two US Weather Bureau stations we can receive the weather warnings on. When I first got the radio I didn't think it could pick up the weather band at all. A while later when I happened to be standing in a specific location in the house, and held it at jusssst the right height and angle I could here faint, mostly unintelligible sounds come from it when on that band.It's useless as a weather radio unless you are on top of the broadcast station.It works OK for AM/FM but nothing to write to friends about.

Some improvements needed I bought this radio to be used in the office, so I was looking for somethig nice, headphones jack, slim, and tv reception.It has very good reception and I liked the design.But the big dissappointment was to realize it's not stereo so I only hear in one side of my headphones. The other issue is that you have to get the AC adapter wich is about $20.

Big battery-consumer The sound is fine, though by no means exceptional. It requires 3 batteries at one time and they run out very quickly. Also it's kind of bulky, not good to bring with.

Great reception, decent sound, poor battery life I bought this radio 6 months ago. I wanted a portable, digital radio that got good reception. That's what I got. And the sound, while not exciting, is decent for the size. What I didn't count on was that the battery life on this thing is pitiful. I wind up buying new batteries (AAA) about once a month. And since the thing takes 3 batteries, it's difficult to use rechargeable batteries (which you can only recharge in even numbers, not to mention the fact that they don't last as long). Sure, you could buy an ac adapter for another $15 or $20, but then you've killed the radio's mobility & reduced its reception.Overall, the radio does a great job, but it ends up being more of a hassle than a convenience. If I had it to do all over again, I'm not sure I would buy another one.

Good but could be improved Lack of AC power supply and illuminated dial are minuses. Otherwise tuning and audio quality are great. I purchased an RCA universal AC power supply model AH5WH at home depot for$6.00 on clearance and it works fine with no static on lower bands at all.

Look elsewhere if you need Weatherband... I received this radio from amazon today and am happy with it except for the faulty Weatherband. (It's the tuner that's bad: all 7 weather channels tune to the same frequency, and none of them well, compared to my smaller, cheaper, older Radio Shack Weather Cube). Sony's technical support was of no help whatsoever, referring me to NOAA's frequency guide on the web. Weatherband shortcomings aside, the radio fits perfectly on a narrow ledge (like a window sill); the 3-inch speaker sounds great for its size, and the five presets per band are adequate for me. The TV channels perform well, too. ... But for $40 or less, it's a good value and performs well (except for the Weatherband, which could be a defect only in the radio I received). Made in China, by the way, not in Japan.

Purchased radio for hurricane weather reports In preparation for the hurricane season I needed a battery operated weather station radio as electrical power during a hurricane is not reliable. The Sony ICF-M410V is capable of receiving weather reports from 7 channels. This meets and exceeds my requirements.

Good Brand, Bad Sound Quality I Recently purchased but returned an ICF-M410V radio because the sound reproduction is low tone and muffled. Increasing the volume just distorts the sound. For me the reason is that Sony no longer manufactures this products in Japan. I own 2 of the older versions of this radio, both made in Japan, and the overall quality was excellent; sound reproduction was crisp, clear and loud. A pity because new features in the ICF-M410V radio are good improvements to the product, like the shuttle tunning knob.

Just what I needed. I knew this radio before I ordered it, so I am not surprised to find it works well, doing what I need it to.

Embarrassing Gift I purchased this radio as a Christmas gift for a friend who wants a radio at work. I was embarrassed to find out that the radio gets absolutely no reception in any band. This is totally unacceptable, especially since it has the Sony Label.

Portable radio This is exactly what I was looking for, something slim, lightweight and powerful enough to use at the beach.It is all that!

It's.... okay The hammer came dirty right out of the package and the finish is not good. The hammer had this dirt-like substance on it. The edges were not smooth at all. They sell for $3 at the student medical store here, so I don't understand why this one is so poorly made. I'm not sure if that is a seller issue or if all of these hammers are really that poorly constructed. That being said, I'm just a 1st year med student, so it will do.

Blown away!!! I think this is the perfect novel. What makes it so, is the way Justin Cronin turns a phrase. His words are lyrical - like poetry and you think - as you read - that he has exactly pinned down words to express emotions we have all felt. The story weaves in and out among the characters but Cronin is able to link them all up at the book's end. It is perfectly woven. I read this book with a pen in hand (great believer that books should be handled and even mishandled)because I somehow wanted to underscore how beautifully he described emotions and events. His characterizations feel true - you grow to like these people so much in the course of reading this book. I was amazed to see that Cronin is a very young man - he appears to have the wisdom and perspective of someone much older. I am looking forward to his writing in the future. Thanks for a great read, Justin Cronin!

This is a rare gem! I have told almost everyone I know to read this book! It is magnificently written. There is a truly memorable page in the book that made me cry as Mr. Cronin describes "man's best friend." I really loved that he told the story from the various characters point of view. I didn't want the book to end and have been hoping that Mr. Cronin will have a new book out by 2007. I am glad that he doesn't churn out books 3 times a year, it makes it that much more special when his next one comes and that we all have something to look forward to.

Moving and meaningful I loved the summer Guest. The character development was done in an interesting back and forth way. The book had many messages and the writing was well done from start to finish. I could not put it down.Parts of it brought tears to my eyes.

enjoyable read however historicaly flawed very good read,excitment and exploits bar none however this book is rather self serving.many of his deeds for which he claimed sole responsibility for have been debunked in the many years after this books 1st printing.none the less his deeds are impressive,even when watered down with the proven facts.this book is a good companion to the many others written about him but should not stand alone as the final word.all in all worth the price, but probobly a better read when the reader is a bit better grounded in the subject

Pay Off While I did enjoy Stephen Leather's very English noir style, I think the whole time building up to the climax was drowned out by the very quick out come at the end. He spend a lot of effort planning and getting all the details right for revenge when it all started to fall into place it was all over. This is my second Leather book and I did enjoy his style and it hasn't put me off reading more of his book, I just won't be recommending this book as a starting point for this author.

it's still working but it was expensive considering what it is. Maybe I should have gone to a material shop to find something to cover the table with.I think the table cost $99 (of course I bought this 10 yrs ago) and this cover cost $66, so there is something out of whack here.

Works well with table folded but does not lay flat when table is open- does not last very long Nice cover and works well if table is folded but it does not work very well when the table is open. It won't lay flat on the table and corners easily blow up with wind. The color also faded in only a couple of weeks as it now has a pinkish hue to it. When the table is folded it is also a bit too wide, so overall not ideal. I ordered it because it was the only alternative are blue covers that are an eyesore. So in conclusion, it is more discreet than the bright blue covers but not very practical if you want to keep yout table in the open position.Update on 12/24/12. Two years later this covers is in self inflicted shreds. Rapid discoloeation continued all the way to a light gray Would not purchase again. Would change two two star review

It's Gorgeous This necklace exceeded my expectations. The stones were beautiful and looked so real. It looked very pretty on me and was a nice complement to my navy dress.

Original title; books lacks originality I thought the authors premise was well meant but book lacks originality. It was like reading a summary of various works of the self imporvement field. The book had no clear flow of ideas and was disguised in endless referrals to others. What I got out from the book was that the references inspired me to read from the other authors / distinguished self improvement mentors.What I did like was his preparation for speeches. Unfortunately the endless references to Anthony Robbins were a turn off. I have read most of Robbins which do inspire and have many good ideas but one just has to look at his personal life and figur out that he is just as human as us. The book,I felt, book was bordering idol worship...What I would do is go to [a book store], browse through the index of references and go and read the original works.

Not quite as good as the Olympus ME-51S, but still a good Mic I tired both the Sony and the Olympus ME-51S with my GoPro Hero2. Both, performed well in my audio tests (though not as good as the on-board mic). I felt the Olympus did a slightly better job picking up speech and ambient sounds. For non-powered Mics both are good choices, but I would lean toward the Olympus all things considered. I would also note there are "fake" Sony ECM-DS70P microphones being sold on the market. There is a YouTube video that illustrates the differences between the genuine and fake Sony mics. I noticed many of the fake Mics being sold on Ebay for under $15.00 (Buyer Beware).

Only Practical Solution for Any Type of Personal Stereo Recorder This is the only mic that is practical for use with my (apparently discontinued) Panasonic stereo cassette recorder (the onboard mic is monaural). Ignore the cord and simply attach the mic directly to the machine for a package that is scarcely any larger, heavier or less convenient than the original machine. Surprisingly, Panasonic offers no mic for the recorder, even though it's seen at least two editions. With the cassette machine I notice no improvement in sound quality with the higher-priced, stick-shaped Sony stereo mic.Having had a couple of misfires with a digital mini-recorder (admittedly not "mechanical" breakdowns), I'd still recommend a cassette machine, if only for a back-up.

Clandestine delight I've been using mine with excellent results for 4 years now. I find the stereo separation acceptable under most circumstances. I use Sony MZ R700, R900, and MZ N1, and I can't tell one from the others under most recordings. It CAN be overloaded/distorted, but I've only found that in cases of really bad room acoustics and loud enough to be uncomfortable and distort even my listening. I've never been caught, as the whole rig can be set to "all green but hold final count" status before entering the venue, and then easily hidden as intermission lights come up. Only complaints are that there is no (known) windscreen available, and the clip is not really up to the task, and easily lost. I made a replacement with a paper clip and an alligator clip. Elsewise, this mike has been the single consistent tool in my mission to preserve live music shows. All of which are folk & alt.country.

Build quality is really bad This mic I bought was sold by Amazon.com; it is a genuine SONY product manufactured in Japan rather than those fake ones sold on eBay.At the first glimpse, this mic looked OK. However, I feel really bad when I touched it. It was all plastic and the assembly was so loose. The neck can be bent 90, but the whole structure was so weak. It is easy to over bend it; if one is not careful, s/he could easily break it. Just imagine that it is all loosely assembled plastic...I also tested the sound, not as good as the internal mic of my Sony ICD-AX412 digital voice recorder.I will not recommend my friends to buy this mic; it does not worth the price.

ONLY for Plug in power devices FYI - This mic requires devices with plug in power capability, so only certain devices / uses will work. Check the manual PDF for info. (3 stars because I have to give a rating but haven't used it - I'm just warning others)

Disappointed I've used this DVD player about 4 times and I'm already having problems. The DVDs just stop for no reason. Also, I wish I knew the battery pack stuck out the back of the player opposed to fitting directly underneath. Also, if you purchase any DVD player for travel I highly recommend a carrying case! The players are very fragile.

Dr. Phil was wrong on this. This book is an overly tragic telling of an all too common problem. It was amatuerish to the point where I had to force myself to get through it so I could finish it. Somehow, even though infidelity is terrible, the story came across as obvious and boring. It was full of details that turned into filler for a basic story. I got it upon Dr. Phil's recommendation and don't agree that it is worth reading. Definitely not worth $20+ for it.

Heart concerns? Stay away from this one. If you have heart problems, stay away from this one!! After taking it for little more than a week, I was hospitalized for atrial fibrillation. No serious damage to my heart, but the co-pay on the bill was substantial. to be fair, this product did NOT cause the afib as it was a preexisting condition.Quinine is the cause of the problem but quinine is used to fight malaria. btw, I still experienced leg cramps.

OK Good for someone with no knowledge at all about the subject. Not very much help for passing the exam for a license.

Love it. I love the 'For Dummies' series. This is the ONLY one that I have read from cover to cover and enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you Ward for writing such an informational book for newly licensed hams.

Incompatible- Beware This product received good reviews, but it would not work with my 2007 Toyota. Seems more car markers have proprietary radios that don't allow add-on disc players. Before you order, do some research to determine if you can use this item in your newer car.

new versions, years later by original artists It says in small print on the CD box "New sterio recordings by the original artists."For practical purposes its a ripoff. But the one song I wanted on here, Moonlight Feels Right, was original, I think, or else it sounded close. But the rest of them sucked, although I think they are by the original artists. I think some of you out there may want to buy it just to hear alt takes of your favorites. But for most of you it is a ripoff.

below average A friend of mine let me borrow this CD after constantly praising it as the best album he heard in a while. I gave it about 6 spins before deciding that it was pretty much the same generic stuff many other bands make (except they all do it much better). If your a long time fan or something you'll probably find something to like, but if otherwise you should definitely pass.On a side note, whats with this band trying to become famous after punching Glenn Danzig? I guess you gotta do whatever you can to get your name out there when your albums are weak.

nuns of st archangel good nun exploitation movie. good study of the exploitation of women and power manipulation within the church

Completely failed. This item worked great for about 6 months. Then while driving in cold weather one of the clamps broke on the cooler. Unbeknownst to me the transmission fluid seeped out and my car stuttered to a stop. I repaired it and refilled the fluid, and the car worked for about 200 miles then the transmission completely stopped working.I would either recommend a better kit, or simply buy higher quality clamps. I have replaced the transmission but I now use two better quality clamps on each fitting instead of one cheap chinese clamp like in this kit.Don't skimp on a kit like this when your transmission is at stake.

Save money - get a copy of the Constitution and read instead Save your money and get a copy of the Constitution for the United States. There is nothing new in this book for anyone who has spent a little time studying the Constitution. The book would benefit from greater inclusion of historical and factual information. Some of the discussions on various sections and amendments are abrupt and lack definitive supporting documentation. For a book on the Constitution, the list of readings at the end should be more inclusive of the major writings from the 18th and early 19th centuries.On another note, the construction of the book was poor. A number of pages in my copy were loose and close to falling out.

Swashbuckling Duke "The Man From Monterey" (1933) remains a deadly dull John Wayne vehicle, with unfunny comic relief and precious little action. Still learning the ropes, a youthful Duke proves he's no Errol Flynn in a poorly staged sword fight. Easily the worst of Wayne's six Westerns for Warner/Vitagraph.

Hard To Find Very good coffee, my personal favorite....Please get more of it. Why is it no longer available????

Not Mocha Fusion Latte mix! This is a poor substiute for Mocha Latte. It takes like water and has no body or flavor! Bring back the Latte!

Don't waste your money This book has nothing more in it and much less information that you can find for free on line. I have several books on crocheting - all cost less than this one and all have much more information than this one. I also have DVDs for crocheting which are even better than the books. I sent this book back.
