1	Great Gift	This was a great gift I purchased for my son for christmas. I loved it because it had the pump included in the package. It is very durable and should last thru many uses.	positive
0	Rating	If I could I would give this item less than one star. Do not buy! It is extremely hard to inflat. In addition, it is very hard to insert the pump into the air outet.	negative
0	Leak after 2 uses. Piece of junk	I bought this for indoor use when having guests over as I dont have a spare room. Well, it was a complete waste of money. After the second use, there was a slow leak like everyone else complained about. After 4 hours after, filling up, my butt was on the ground. DO NOT BUY. Hopefully amazon will let me exchange it for another brand.	negative
1	As described	We didnt care too much about the pillows but enjoyed the air mattress. It fit the bill and works good.	positive
1	Intex Classic Downy Queen Airbed	This product did the job for low cost - it met my expectations and I would recommend this air mattress for camping. Very comfortable and 2 of us slept on it with room to spare. Easy enough to fill.	positive
1	Not Bad For The Price.	This is a pretty good air mattress, I use it as an everyday bed on top of my horrible mattress. I sleep pretty good on it. The only complaint is that I have to put more air in it every day or two, but thats not that big of a deal considering the pump that came with it. The last air mattress I had to blow it all up by mouth. That was just rediculous. I thank so much that it came with a pump. If your looking for a decent air mattress, don't hesitate to purchase this one.	positive
0	Didn't last a single night...	This bed was comfortable enough (at first) and easy to inflate/deflate. However, it didn't even last a single night before springing a leak and becoming unusable. It required refilling because I was hitting the floor at least twice a night.Completely useless. Really a shame I couldn't get a refund on this product.	negative
0	Lasted 6 months	We purchased this air mattress for a camping trip in June. We used it for three days in a tent on a lawn. In the next six months, we only used this air mattress in the house and for a total of 10 nights. So, all told, we slept on this air mattress for less than 14 days. Yesterday, we found small holes across the bottom of the air mattress that were releasing the air. It will no longer stay inflated. When we used this mattress, we were satisfied with it - fairly comfortable, straight forward to fill, etc. It was well priced and shipped in a timely manner. However, an air mattress should last longer than 6 months/14 days of use. The return policy is expired, and the mattress will need to be replaced. :(	negative
0	don't do it	when inflated the airbed was not the dimensions stated on the box. it does nto hold air all that well. needs to be reinflated about once a week.	negative
0	Started to leak, spend more money to get a better one	I replaced this one shortly after buying it. I purchased a queen that is supposedly "Never going to leak." I've had it for over a year and it is awesome. Inflates itself. Don't buy this one. Spend $20+ on a better one made of stronger material.	negative
1	Good enough for our needs	We used the mattress for 5 nights and it worked perfectly, although one of the pillows kept deflating every night, because the valve would open.The bed did smell like plastic, as we read on another review, so it's a good idea to leave the mattress inflated for a few days before you have to sleep on it.The manual pump takes a while to inflate the mattress and it requires some effort, but it works very well.	positive
1	excellent camping/spare bed	We purchased two of these for our camping trips. We use an electric pump to air them up...I'm not sure how long it would take with the hand pump that is included...but I wouldn't want to do it.I rated it four out of five because the pillows that come with it are a joke. I'd rather pay less and have those pillows left out.Even though we purchased this for camping, we have taken it when we visit relatives, and also use it for a spare bed when we have company. It's a very comfortable bed, but I do recommend using sheets because the felt covering causes pajamas to stick. When using a sleeping bag, obviously, that's not a problem.	positive
0	Doesn't hold up very long	I bought this as a replacement mattress for my mom when her old air mattress had a leak. She really enjoyed this mattress and said it was very comfortable. It took a little while to pump it up though and was a little difficult and did not come with any instructions, but she figured it out. Unfortunately after a week of use, there is now a hole where the pump plugs in and it can not be fixed with the patch. This may be nice for short use, but it won't last long.	negative
0	Tina	There is a big air leaking problem of this product. Even we followed the right way to fill in air for a couple of times, still not working. My back was hurting in the morning after waking up. Do not buy!!	negative
0	Don't get this one	This bed stopped holding air after about 5 nights of use by one person. The pump is a small hand pump that takes 15-20 minutes to inflate the bed and leaks air when using it. The pump is annoying and tiring as you can only use your arms, it is not made to stand on it to pump. We threw out the useless air pillows that leaked on the first night. I would not recommend it nor would I buy it again.	negative
1	Use it just about every month...	Yeah my girlfriend kicks me out often.... LOL. I have guests over alot. Visitors from out of town. This bed works out great for short term.	positive
0	It simply doesn't work.	I had family coming into town to stay, and needed an air mattress in a hurry, so I ordered this. I made the mistake of waiting to try it till the last minute, and immediately regretted ordering it. The pump comes with 3 nozzles, none of which attaches securely to the valve on the bed. There are no directions for inflating it, which shouldn't be an issue for such a simple mechanism, but using the largest nozzle (which the box shows as the appropriate one to use to inflate the bed) no air makes it into the mattress at all; there is just a high pitched whistling noise. The second largest nozzle doesn't stay in the valve. The smallest nozzle causes the bed to inflate very slowly and with enormous amounts of effort, but only till the bed is about 90% inflated, at which point it will inflate no further.My guest is lying on a limpid air mattress and I am sorely regretting my purchase.	negative
1	VERY COMFORTABLE	I FINALLY GOT TO USE THE PRODUCT. IT AIRED UP GREAT AND SLEPT GREAT. I USED IT TWO NIGHTS CAMPING. THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I HAD WAS AT NIGHT I WOULD HAVE TO AIR IT BACK UP SOME. DONT KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND IT HASNT BEEN "STRETCHED" OUT YET. WILL USE ALOT THIS SUMMER, SO WE WILL SEE.	positive
0	Reeks of chemicals	I barely had time to pull the mattress out of the box before the smell of cheap solvents, glues and materials hit me. The air pump in particular was offgassing some terrible fumes, to the point my eyes and nose were burning. I didn't have a chance to rate other areas of the mattress because I boxed it up and sent it back. I'd suggest paying a bit more for something that isn't going to fill your home with the stench of cheap manufacturing.	negative
0	rediculous	The bed came with nothing it said..it was missing the air pump and the pillows ....and all the connecters soNow when I blow it up it doesn't hold the air...	negative
0	Went flat.	I ordered this item and then requested a replacement when it went flat. The replacement also went flat. I was quickly reimbursed and the product was removed from the site while being investigated for the flaw.	negative
0	Disappointment with airbed	Have to toss out. Disappointment much! I purchased the bed for when my 16-yr-old nephew sleeps over once per month at the weekend. After use about six times, there is a slow leak (we can't determine source). He goes to bed with a firm bed but in the morning the bed is flat, unfortunately. I really thought we would've gotten more use, given the excellent product reviews. Needless to say, we are very disappointed. Pity the bed wasn't like the pillows because those have been absolutely no problem. Ah, well.	negative
1	Great	Pros:1. Price-***2. Size-*3. Perfect for outdoor use: fits in 3 person tent, doesn't require electricity for inflation, comes with hand pump4. Waterproof: floats on water well, good for lake use5. Easily inflatableCons:1. Unpleasant plastic smell that lasts 4ever. If covered with blanket to contain smell, then-OK.2. Deflated requires plenty of space3. Repair patch too small4. Damaged areas barely detectable, unless submerged fully into water.Durability-AcceptableOverallValue For Money-**	positive
0	Not recommended	I guess you get what you pay for. We received our inflatable mattress last week and took it camping this weekend. It did not hold air through the night and the pump broke upon using it the 2nd time. It's pretty much worthless.	negative
1	"comfortable good night's sleep"	Received its first use this weekend by an otherwise finicky house guest, who claimed she got a "comfortable good night's sleep" on it. The hand pump worked efficiently and it stayed fully inflated for two nights (so far) of continuous use.Although I feel it has already paid back its modest cost, I expect it to provide many subsequent evenings of comfortable sleep.	positive
1	So Comfortable	This intex matress is just as good as a regular bed.I use it for me and my son,and we both have plenty of space.It is comfortable as well.I just wish I had an eleatric pump instead of manual,but other than that's its perfect.	positive
1	Totally worth it's money	Been using it for a month now - no problems, very comfortable (I sleep on it every day). Smelled with rubber when I unpacked it, but the smell vanished in a few days. Inflates in about 5-10 minutes with the supplied hand pump. Needed to pump some additional air only once since I bought it. Haven't tried the pillows.	positive
1	The matress is very good.	I use it all weekends. The matress is really good, confortable and soft.The price is great.	positive
1	Good deal	Good, sturdy mattress. I used it for a long weekend of camping, and it stayed inflated the entire time, unlike other airbeds I've tried before. Very affordable too. Hand pump was nice, takes longer than a battery powered pump obviously, but it's nice not to worry about your batteries dying while camping, and it's much lighter to carry.	positive
1	Awesome!	this CD is great! you can definitly see maturity from the last record, in both the lyrics and music. the RCR really seem to capture their live energy on their records, and this one is no exception. i saw RCR last thursday and they put on another hell of a show. they have so much stage energy, its incredible. the ONLY thing this CD lacks are the horns. on the first record they come at you full force with exploding energy and aggression. on this record they are hard to hear, and seem to be muffled with the guitars. but none the less if your looking for a fun sing-a-long punk record from a great band, be sure to pick this one up!	positive
0	Bogus	Great music, but indeed available elsewhere in a legitimate package with good liner notes: the Chicago Concerts (1946); thanks to the previous reviewer. I checked track by track and found that every last one of the pieces was in fact taken from the the first CD of the Chicago Concerts. "Golden Feather" and "Blue Skys" are rightly labelled (although J-Bird can't spell); all the rest are scrambled. This disc contains part, not all, of the mislabelled Deep South Suite. It contains, mislabelled "Hiawatha", "Things ain't what they used to be". There is no Ellington composition to my knowledge titled "Things ain't what they seem to be". Certainly this disc ain't what it seems to be. I'll be cautious about anything J-Bird sells in the future.	negative
0	sharp LC-26D6U acquos	TV sound quit working after 13 months. Had problems with set turning on randomly. Sharp will not help since TV set warranty was only 12 months. Local bench charges are minimum of $80.00 just to look at it and boards average a few hundred dollars. Sharp Customer Service services and protects Sharp only.	negative
0	Sound Problems	My problems started after 26 months. No sound until unit warms up (5-10 minutes)then a off & on cycle brings on the sound. Very disappointed in the quality of the unit; from other postings it sounds like I was lucky to have unit work for the 26 months! It's off to the service shop tomorrow.	negative
0	More sound problems	Another case of the sound board giving out after 18 months. Any company with a conscience would assume warranty responsibility for an obvious engineering issue.Not at all impressed.	negative
0	Poor customer service, awful product	I bought this TV Oct 18th as a refurb from 2nd Act. 2 mos later, haven't watched it yet. It arrived broken (turns on & off continually). 2nd Act totally uninterested. Only Sharp warranty repair in/near Austin is ET Television, which got lowest possible rating on Austin City Search. I couldn't agree more. In shop for 1 month, got it home & still broken. Sharp customer Service has been a nightmare. No response, people on phone keep saying they are sorry, nothing they can do.	negative
0	It Breaks!	Purchased one 3 months ago new from Ken Cranes. Worked fine until a few days ago, picture went out. Ken Cranes won't replace, they have to send it in for repair and will take 2-3 weeks.I looked at alot of 26" LCD TV's and decided to go with the Sharp Aquos because of quality of build. I was wrong. I even spoke to Sharp and no chance of replacement. I have to send it in. What a pain.I thought I would get better service going to a retailer (Ken Cranes) and paying full pop retail rather than buying from the Internet and saving. Nope. I should have saved and bought through the net, the after-sale service is the same.	negative
1	Turre does it again	Trombone and conch shell virtuoso Turre does it again on a wonderful collaboration with some of the finest jazz saxophonists around. Turre visits different genres, as always on this album, and again does a wonderful job. Turre can be heard sliding all over the changes with some gutbucket trombone, then switching over to a modern latin sound. I enjoyed this CD almost as much as "In the Spur of the Moment"(telarc 83484), and as a trombonist Turre's playing is, as always, greatly inspiring to me.	positive
1	The Literal Interpretation of Genesis	I bought this book as a Christmas present for my father who had been looking for a copy of Augustine's Literal Interpretation of Genesis for some time. The book is exactly what he wanted (and then some), and I am very happy that I was able to find it on Amazon for such a great bargain.	positive
1	what an unusual and super book	how refreshing to find such an exquisite book on this very interesting subject. I made all the theatres and they were a joy to construct following the easy to understand directions. Robert burgess' hand drawn illustrations are beautiful. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a slight interest, young and old	positive
1	24 great talks, 8 good chapters of biography	The living apostle, M. Russell Ballard, is the grandson to this Apostle. In this book are some outstanding stories and talks besides his biography. The talk on the Sacramental Covenant has never been matched. The talk on the three degrees of glory is still in pamphlet form and used often. There are eight chapters on his life and 24 of his talks included in this book. Included on pages 138-139,is Elder Ballard's vision of the Lord and Savior that he had while in Montana on the Fort Peck Reservation. He gave this talk about this vision back in 1919. It is very touching and I believe will melt the hardest of hearts. Great talks, good biography.	positive
1	Good, but could be better	The book is good, and the section of consciousness is very insightful. However, towards the end, the book becomes sort of redundant. He is driving home the same ideas over and over again. And even though he gives a good idea of what consciousness, divine human transformation, and society's benefits from such things are, in my opinion he could have gone into more detail about how to achieve consciousness and divine human transformation.	positive
0	It was not a book	The material is good but it was not in book form, it was a copy of a book. I am very disappointed in the purchase.	negative
1	Cuando muriò mi madre, mi mundo se desbaratö	Habiamos trascendido la relacion madre-hijo, ¡Y èramos amigos entrañables !Ella estuvo a mi lado en los peores momentos, siempre sostenièndome, alentàndome...Este libro me sacò del abismo y me dijo muchas palabras de alientocomo las que me decìa mi madre...¡Bendito sea !	positive
1	UNA FUERZA SOBREHUMANA QUE TE LEVANTA	POR CAÍDO QUE ESTÉS !Da nueva vida, nuevos animos y deja heridas limpias en las que no bace el rencor !	positive
1	NO MATTER WHAT, OUR WOLD COLLAPSES	SOMETIMES... And in that confusing and painful situation, this book is our best resource after The Bible	positive
1	ESTE ES UN LIBRO DE BELLEZA TOTAL	QUE NOS LEVANTA SI ESTAMOS TRISTES O SI SUFRIMOS ALGÚN TROPIEZO...Pero que en el fondo, tropiezos o no, nos MUESTRA LA ALEGRÍA DE SEGUIR VIVOS !	positive
1	Knowledge of software+hardware makes a complete programmer	This book provides great insight into the _performance_ of hardware. How can one be a good programmer without knowing how it is that data gets to memory, how data flows through the CPU and what it is in the hardware that makes ones code fast or slow? It amazes me that most of the developers that I work with are ignorant or could not care less about the effects of cache misses, what superscalar/superpipelined really means, and how a "improper" stride through their array can make the performance of their code deplorable. This book makes for a great read and is guaranteed to make a programmer a better programmer.	positive
1	Hinda is one to remember	Catch her first on the great UK movie called "G:MT", her voice makes you replay the video just for the tunes. The CD is highly reminiscent of Randy Crawford, very soulful. Good variation and only a couple of tracks you may want to skip. Enjoy!	positive
1	Very Nice Cd	Would recommend this cd to other DJ's. Hinda has a nice voice and the tracks are good to dance to.	positive
1	Music that melts your ears	It's a shame such a masterful album hasen't been edited in the US yet. Karen Ramirez delivers ten songs (and an a remix of her hit single "Looking for Love"), and all of them are outstanding: a mixture of Sade with drum and bass and touches of bossa nova. Each and every track is nearly a gem, starting with the brazilian flavoured "Troubled Girl" and and closing with the romantically trippy "People make the world go round. This promises to be one of the top albums of 98.	positive
1	I wish I had this before	Take a notebook and do the example problems as you're reading this book, and everything you're learning becomes so much easier. All the math based courses I've struggled through before just seem like a waste because not only does this book go step by step through every concept, it covers such a wide range of them it would have made a great supplement for most of my previous coursework.	positive
1	My class loves it!	This book was given to me as a gift last year when I began teaching early childhood. My kids LOVE it! It is the most requested book in our library. The kids love to get out the musical instruments and shake along with the music. Every preschool class should have a copy of this book.	positive
0	Poor quality	I bought this book as a baby shower "card" for a friend who has a rock n roll band. I thought it would a sweet way to get his daughter started young :) However, I did not give the book to them because it came with sticky pages and the CD was not included. Pretty disappointed and didn't bother looking for another copy.	negative
0	Babies Gone Wild	From the same author asI Stink!,I'm Dirty!, and many others, although in this case her husband Jim did not do the illustrations.I love children's books (especially the two mentioned above) but I truly loathe this one. Sorry.My kids do enjoy seeing the babies doing inappropriate things like ransacking the kitchen or going outside to play by themselves. There are NO parents or teachers present in any of the illustrations, just ten babies on their own. It's a daycare nightmare!The book does teach (very) basic rhymes and is probably good in principle to encourage interest in musical instruments. It also came with a free CD (with music by folk singers Peggo & Paul) though I disliked the song, possibly even more.	negative
0	Short circuit Duck	I was so excited to get this duck, and when I finally got it I was dissapointed. The company cheapstuff is who I ordered it from, and they didn't exchange my defective duck. I didn't receive the return policy for the duck, or see it on line. When I contacted the seller, I had a hard time getting them to keep in contact with me. When they did finally respond, they wouldn't return the defective duck, and left me a nasty email about why they wouldn't help me. I will not buy from theseller again.	negative
0	Obnoxious, non-cuddly, battery operated, demon toy	This is the toy that people who don't have kids buy. They think "Oh isn't that funny" but in reality the joy goes out of this toy half way through the only song it knows.It can barely sing its only song without slowing down and slurring. It stubbles clumsily like a drunk barely able to stay up-right. It is not cuddly but rather a hard case surrounded by the thinest of fake polyester-like fur. There is no educational value to this toy.The only thing this toy is good for; we bring it out to show people what a lousy toy looks like so they know never to buy anything like it!I suggest that you just sing and act silly to entertain your baby rather than buy this junk!	negative
1	The beginning that introduces her journal is the best!	We are currently on page eighteen and were looking for information on the author. We are so interested in this book as Vicki Grove writes so amazingly well. This is a great book for kids our age (8-10) The begiining is very intriguing. The part when Brenda's father's death is creating problems for the Tuckers is interesting. We have many emotions, like feeling sad and concerned for Jean. We also feel happy when Jean shares her experiences. We will let you know more when we are done the book.	positive
1	Long-lasting Treat	Our dog chews on each bully stick for up to an hour, obviously enjoying this healthy treat. The case of 35 is a good value compared to the price of small packages in pet stores.	positive
1	Great product	I really like this product. I got a sample of it and tried it before I bought the 4oz jar. I use it after cleansing my skin every other day and it helps keep my skin hydrated. The Juara skin care line are good quality products. I also use the rice skin cleanser and Tamarind tea hydrating toner. The Juara products are 100% vegetarian, free of artificial colorants and do not use animals for testing.	positive
0	No Change	I took this for a month and saw no change what so ever. It was a waste of time and money, at least for me.	negative
0	Do not buy this toaster, do not buy Kitchen Aid	Beware - this toaster is a lemon. Just over three months from purchase, the bagel lock / warm buttons stopped working soon followed by the lever that would not lock. So not only could we not use for bagels we could not use for any types of bread. This is going in the trash. Definitely consider another model and another manufacturer. Kitchen Aid has lost an advocate here.	negative
0	Not Kitchenaid Quality, Big isses	Have had this toaster for about 18 months, so now outside the 1 year warranty. Have experienced the unequal toasting issues mentioned by others, plus the plastic handle broke off, and now the toaster won't lock down any longer. So toaster is useless. We don't overuse this appliance and keep it very clean. There is no reason why we should have these problems so early in the lifecycle. My call to the customer service (number on the bottom of the toaster) resulted in offering a 30% discount on a new toaster (which is the same sale that Macy's has down the street except Kaid would add shipping charges!). I saw good ratings on this toaster (and I enjoyed it while it worked), so I wonder if I just got a lemon or the higher ratings I've seen came from buyers who haven't had it all that long. I expected a Kitchenaid toaster to last longer than 18 montsh. More so, I expected Kitchenaid to stand behind a product better with their name on it. Very disappointed, buyer beware.	negative
0	More Fairy Tales!	One more incoherent dose of revisionist myths weaved together by another ANGLO & ROMANOPHOBE! Mr. Duffy lumps a wide variety of peoples into the Celtic camp. One unsubstantiated claim after another and a paltry bibliography gives one pause to the authors true agenda? Here are some blatant false claims. An Irishman was not the first crew member to step on Americas shore with Columbus.Horse stirrups & the iron plough came from Korea & the Avars brought them to Europe. The so-called Celtic bagpipes & Harp came from Bronze Age Persia & India. The Romans introduced them to the British Isles. The Scottish tv show Tartan tv stated as much. Unless the reader believes all progress in history came out of the fictitious Celtic camp they should skip this nonsense! If you wish to learn more about this very questionable topic? The books by Malcolm Chapman, John Collis, Stephen Oppenheimer, Simon James, & Bryan Sykes are very worthwhile in shedding light on the truth.	negative
0	incohesive	This is one of the worst books I have ever bought. What a mistake! I am interested in the Celtic people. This is not the way to learn about them. The book presents various bits of information about the Celts but in an incohesive manner. I didn't finish reading it and don't intend to.	negative
1	Now I Know	This book was a great read, escpecially for history buffs, and those who are fascinated by Celtic History. Kevin Duffy does excellent work bringing the reader from ancient Celts to modern day Celtic desendants and how they influence our lives today. Duffy also excells at painting a picture in the reader's mind of what Celtic life and times were like.	positive
1	smooth	This is a tasty tea if you are willing to work with loose tea leaves. It took me awhile to get the measurement to the way that I like it. I will certanly buy it again.	positive
1	Just watch out for the colour...	I purchased these for my partner, and the excellent quality makes it worth every cent, but just be careful of the colour. It looks much darker in the pictures than it actually is. In real life is is closer to milk chocolate brown, whereas the display pictures seem to us to be closer to a dark chocolate or black coffee.	positive
0	very little of value in this book	As is his style, Zeke Feinberg is boring, repetitive, and self worshipping. I did appreciate some information on setting the dice. But if the contents were organized and didn't repeat itself, the book could be a 12 page pamphlet worth $3.00. This book repeats much of another of Zeke's poor efforts, How to make $12 to $24 per hour	negative
1	Well worth it! read below!	Hello from Dublin, CA. This book has helped not only myself, but the entire group in which we go to Tahoe, Reno and Vegas. WE all shoot togther at the tables and all set the dice. A few places get a little upset at us ,only when we win. We always have the correct answer for them, being smart players and trying to stay 1 step ahead of them. The price of this book, is not even 1 roll of the dice for us! Better yet, all 5 of us went in on it, so its almost free! You should find some of your freinds, or hook up with us, we take trips every month! We all need more practice, so our next venture is to build a 3/4 craps table, and all practice and have fun at the same time! Then, in between each trip we can practice all different strategies The book has some good fundmentals on setting the dice. Good luck at the tables to all of you!	positive
0	Tenuous at best. Not very well organized.	The math behind this one is suspect if you ask me, but I'm no mathematical expert. Zeke proclaims to support his text by some very unusual numbers, but they might be right. There's something intriguing about what is suggested for pre-sets, so I had to spend the money on this book to find out what he was talking about. Definitely, not worth $20. $10, OK.Outside of the dice pre-setting discussion, the book is like a bunch of unorganized notes about the game. The table of contents will obviate that point when you first look at how the book is (not) organized.It would seem to me that you could get all you get from this book by talking with a craps player in a bar over a few drinks ... Rather, at least you'd get the same mathematical substantiation for pre-sets.	negative
0	Very mediocre novel...	"Home movie" by Ellen Akins, tries to be a good "different" novel about coming of age. Instead, it has almost no plot(supposedly, the girl Joey learns from Giffard, the piano teacher, and tries to discover who this mysterious actor in the home movies is), and the characters are boring. Joey is OK, but she isn't memorable expect for being in the middle of a parental squabble that has her christened as "Joseph". The stripper, Daisy, is also not exciting, and flat. The wandering mother and Giffard come across as unpleasant users. Just avoid this book.	negative
1	My Favorite Book as a Kid	"Rain" was my favorite book when I was a kid.The illustrations are vibrant, detailed and comforting. They teach you to celebrate rain and respect it, an important lesson for a kid growing up in the Pacific Northwest.It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I found this book again only to realize that it was a picture book. From what I remember, there were many, many story lines!I'm sad to see that "Rain" is out of print. If you find one at a second-hand bookstore, buy it! If you don't have kids, donate it to a library.	positive
1	chilhood memories	My brother received this book as a school price as a child. I spent my chilhood watching these beautiful illustrations and decided to buy it as an adult for my children to enjoy as much as I did and still do. It is just poetry in images.	positive
1	Rainy Day Keeper	This is the perfect book to enjoy on a rainy day, or any day for that matter. The rich detail that is not overdone draws the reader into the moment. Even though there are no words, there is much to comment on as we enjoy this book together. Like Peter Spier's other books, he shows life as it is meant to be: messy, joyful, and exuberant.	positive
1	A Rare Jewel	They don't make them like this any more, as they say. This classic, written by a Nobel Prize winner, is revered in Europe, but little known in he United States. A word of warning: this book is the continuation of du Gard's Les Thibaults, the novel about a French middle class family at the turn of the 20th century. It would probably be better to read Les Thibaults first.	positive
0	Metal & Wood Baker's Rack	Product was defective,had to re-adjust part of it so it would fit together. I was left with 5 screws not sure were they're suppose to go? There were no holes left to put them anyway. The color was black/black not as it appears in the picture on amazon. The company only wants to give me 10% back of my money back because I fixed there defective product. Amazon will have to arbitrate this one!	negative
1	looks great assembled	The directions for assembly for this product are horrible. There are only so many times that you can photo copy a photo copy and still be able to see the image clearly. It is one piece of paper with 4 drawings for assembly. It wouldn't hurt to spend an extra 10 cents to have better directions. After assembling it and disassembling it several times to have the parts in the correct location, and not backwards, it looks great! For the money, it is a very nice rack.	positive
0	should be an edited volume	This book should be an edited volume since the author contributes very little to the whole endeavour. If it weren't for Giroux's brilliant foreword, the dialogue with Freire and Chomsky, and Macedo's powerful afterword this book would be burried in the darkness of anonymity. Those of us who are interested in reading Giroux or Chomsky could go directly to the source. Given the mediocrity of this type of scholarship (with few exceptions of course)it is not surprising that multiculturalism still struggles to get a critical language.	negative

1	A New Type of Book	I think that this book will appeal to people who truly enjoy reading and literature. In my view, it is a one of a kind, since it tells a story in a poem, rather than in pros. This gives it a sort of sing-song feel. The story itself is also very good, telling how a girl who looked so perfect to everyone on the outside, actually had many problems brewing inside, leading to a tragic end.	positive
1	A Great Book	Split-Image, by Mel Glenn is a great book. This book is about a girl who helps everyone at school, and helps out with her brother at home. Everyone thinks thatshes a perfect person. But at night she's a whole different person. She goes to dance clubs in the middle of the night. This book tells a lot about teen's and thier problems. I would recommend this book to any person who likes to read books in the form of poetry.	positive
1	relating to this story	The book is about a Chinese girl growing up in an American society, who decides to find herself in the library. I picked this book up in my high school library, ironically enough. I spend most of my after school time there, in the library. I looked through this book, not expecting this girl to relate to me in any single way. I am Chinese myself, with both a working dad and a working mom, both love me, but in a Chinese way. And here i am living, growing up American. I enjoyed this book like i enjoy any type of poetry...and i realize i enjoy it a bit more differently than other people enjoy it. they dont see the mother's love, because they are too american. Or the father's love. This book is amazing to all who read it, I'm sure, but keep your eyes open for unseen love. This girl in the story did not, and it led to her downfall. :D I loved this book.	positive

1	Great but flawed Hawk recording	There's something about these sessions: Hawk seems relaxed and happy in the admiring and non-competive environment of Hawk's European sabbatical. 78 record transcription sound is below par, but the music is good enough to overcome that in most cases. It is unfortunate that the producer chose to include 4 tracks (9-12) of what he himself in the liner notes refers to as a poorly recorded (amen!) Swiss session. The upside for fans is Hawk SINGS(!) on "Love Cries". Don't start here if you're not a fan, but if you are, this presents yet another side of the tenor god. Mostly swing renditions of standards. The last two tracks smoke like crazy.Update: just got the 4CD boxed setThe Essential Sides 1929-1939, which contains all this material and a great deal more for just a few dollar$ more.	positive

I bought this charger for use with the Creative Nomad NX MP3 player, after seeing it was recommended in the amazon site for use with the Nomad.Well... it seems that someone didn't even care to check if the technical specifications are correct!! after recieving it I discovered that it does not fit the specifications for the player (Creative engineers did not understand why amazon was recommending to buy this adaptor with the Nomad!!) and that the reversed polarity does not enable it to be a true "international" adapter. I only found reversed polarity in the US so the adaptor does not fit into any other socket or adaptor for European sockets!!!!I am quite angry that no one cared to check if the specifications correlate with the Nomad before recommending to buy it.So to sum up - don't get it. you will be throwing away your money.	negative

My only wish is that the cord were a bit longer (*or I need to get another extension cord) But this works perfectly and now I can use this almost anytime.. and without worrying about buying more batteries.	positive
0	Works fine for Discman, but product deteriorates quickly	I purchased this adapter to save on batteries with my Sony Discman, and the product worked great for about 15 months. A few weeks ago, I was using the adapter and noticed a spark. The insulation on the cord had deteriorated and nearly started a fire. The texture of a 7-inch section of the cord looks like the coating had melted. The adapter was never put to unusual use. It was plugged in by my desk and was never misused or abused by anyone. I called Sony to complain and they offered me free shipping if I purchased a replacement. I declined. I have never had a cord that went bad in just a little over a year, and am very disgusted with the product.	negative
0	Not compatible	The Sony AC-E45A AC Power Adaptor is presented as being compatible with the Sony ICF-M410V portable radio. The web site advertisment encourages you to buy the adaptor if you buy the radio by offering a package. Reality is that the adaptor causes the radio to have unacceptable noise and static. What is worse is that the notes on the reverse side of the Sony AC-E45A power adaptor carton say, "Do not use this adaptor with a radio as it may cause some noises." Obviously, had I been aware of the notes on the backside of the carton, I would not have purchased the adaptor and probably not the radio as well.	negative

0	This adapter NOT compatible with Sony ICF-M410V Portable FM/AM/TV/Weather Radio	SUMMARY: Adaptor could create interference if used with AM radios; acceptable for CD, MP3, or other non-radio applications. The 2-Star rating applies to use with radios only (not recommended)EVALUATION:The AC adaptor is typically presented as a "better together" purchase recommendation for Sony's ICF-M410V Portable FM/AM/TV/Weather Radio. However, information on the adaptor's package specifically states that the adaptor is NOT recommended for use with radios due to potential interference. The (unstated) reason for this is that the power supply in the adaptor is a switching supply which creates interference, particularly for AM signals.The adaptor should work with CD or MP3 players without any problems, as this is the intended application.NOTE: I am basing this recommendation on the information Sony provides on the package. I have NOT tried it (I returned the adaptor unopened to Amazon for refund).	negative

Leak after 2 uses. Piece of junk

I bought this for indoor use when having guests over as I dont have a spare room. Well, it was a complete waste of money. After the second use, there was a slow leak like everyone else complained about. After 4 hours after, filling up, my butt was on the ground. DO NOT BUY. Hopefully amazon will let me exchange it for another brand.

Not Bad For The Price.

This is a pretty good air mattress, I use it as an everyday bed on top of my horrible mattress. I sleep pretty good on it. The only complaint is that I have to put more air in it every day or two, but thats not that big of a deal considering the pump that came with it. The last air mattress I had to blow it all up by mouth. That was just rediculous. I thank so much that it came with a pump. If your looking for a decent air mattress, don't hesitate to purchase this one.

Didn't last a single night...

This bed was comfortable enough (at first) and easy to inflate/deflate. However, it didn't even last a single night before springing a leak and becoming unusable. It required refilling because I was hitting the floor at least twice a night.Completely useless. Really a shame I couldn't get a refund on this product.

Lasted 6 months

We purchased this air mattress for a camping trip in June. We used it for three days in a tent on a lawn. In the next six months, we only used this air mattress in the house and for a total of 10 nights. So, all told, we slept on this air mattress for less than 14 days. Yesterday, we found small holes across the bottom of the air mattress that were releasing the air. It will no longer stay inflated. When we used this mattress, we were satisfied with it - fairly comfortable, straight forward to fill, etc. It was well priced and shipped in a timely manner. However, an air mattress should last longer than 6 months/14 days of use. The return policy is expired, and the mattress will need to be replaced. :(

Started to leak, spend more money to get a better one

I replaced this one shortly after buying it. I purchased a queen that is supposedly "Never going to leak." I've had it for over a year and it is awesome. Inflates itself. Don't buy this one. Spend $20+ on a better one made of stronger material.

Good enough for our needs

We used the mattress for 5 nights and it worked perfectly, although one of the pillows kept deflating every night, because the valve would open.The bed did smell like plastic, as we read on another review, so it's a good idea to leave the mattress inflated for a few days before you have to sleep on it.The manual pump takes a while to inflate the mattress and it requires some effort, but it works very well.

excellent camping/spare bed

We purchased two of these for our camping trips. We use an electric pump to air them up...I'm not sure how long it would take with the hand pump that is included...but I wouldn't want to do it.I rated it four out of five because the pillows that come with it are a joke. I'd rather pay less and have those pillows left out.Even though we purchased this for camping, we have taken it when we visit relatives, and also use it for a spare bed when we have company. It's a very comfortable bed, but I do recommend using sheets because the felt covering causes pajamas to stick. When using a sleeping bag, obviously, that's not a problem.

Doesn't hold up very long

I bought this as a replacement mattress for my mom when her old air mattress had a leak. She really enjoyed this mattress and said it was very comfortable. It took a little while to pump it up though and was a little difficult and did not come with any instructions, but she figured it out. Unfortunately after a week of use, there is now a hole where the pump plugs in and it can not be fixed with the patch. This may be nice for short use, but it won't last long.

Don't get this one

This bed stopped holding air after about 5 nights of use by one person. The pump is a small hand pump that takes 15-20 minutes to inflate the bed and leaks air when using it. The pump is annoying and tiring as you can only use your arms, it is not made to stand on it to pump. We threw out the useless air pillows that leaked on the first night. I would not recommend it nor would I buy it again.

It simply doesn't work.

I had family coming into town to stay, and needed an air mattress in a hurry, so I ordered this. I made the mistake of waiting to try it till the last minute, and immediately regretted ordering it. The pump comes with 3 nozzles, none of which attaches securely to the valve on the bed. There are no directions for inflating it, which shouldn't be an issue for such a simple mechanism, but using the largest nozzle (which the box shows as the appropriate one to use to inflate the bed) no air makes it into the mattress at all; there is just a high pitched whistling noise. The second largest nozzle doesn't stay in the valve. The smallest nozzle causes the bed to inflate very slowly and with enormous amounts of effort, but only till the bed is about 90% inflated, at which point it will inflate no further.My guest is lying on a limpid air mattress and I am sorely regretting my purchase.

Reeks of chemicals

I barely had time to pull the mattress out of the box before the smell of cheap solvents, glues and materials hit me. The air pump in particular was offgassing some terrible fumes, to the point my eyes and nose were burning. I didn't have a chance to rate other areas of the mattress because I boxed it up and sent it back. I'd suggest paying a bit more for something that isn't going to fill your home with the stench of cheap manufacturing.

Disappointment with airbed

Have to toss out. Disappointment much! I purchased the bed for when my 16-yr-old nephew sleeps over once per month at the weekend. After use about six times, there is a slow leak (we can't determine source). He goes to bed with a firm bed but in the morning the bed is flat, unfortunately. I really thought we would've gotten more use, given the excellent product reviews. Needless to say, we are very disappointed. Pity the bed wasn't like the pillows because those have been absolutely no problem. Ah, well.

"comfortable good night's sleep"

Received its first use this weekend by an otherwise finicky house guest, who claimed she got a "comfortable good night's sleep" on it. The hand pump worked efficiently and it stayed fully inflated for two nights (so far) of continuous use.Although I feel it has already paid back its modest cost, I expect it to provide many subsequent evenings of comfortable sleep.

Totally worth it's money

Been using it for a month now - no problems, very comfortable (I sleep on it every day). Smelled with rubber when I unpacked it, but the smell vanished in a few days.

Good, sturdy mattress. I used it for a long weekend of camping, and it stayed inflated the entire time, unlike other airbeds I've tried before. Very affordable too. Hand pump was nice, takes longer than a battery powered pump obviously, but it's nice not to worry about your batteries dying while camping, and it's much lighter to carry.

Awesome!

this CD is great! you can definitly see maturity from the last record, in both the lyrics and music. the RCR really seem to capture their live energy on their records, and this one is no exception. i saw RCR last thursday and they put on another hell of a show. they have so much stage energy, its incredible. the ONLY thing this CD lacks are the horns. on the first record they come at you full force with exploding energy and aggression. on this record they are hard to hear, and seem to be muffled with the guitars. but none the less if your looking for a fun sing-a-long punk record from a great band, be sure to pick this one up!

Bogus

Great music, but indeed available elsewhere in a legitimate package with good liner notes: the Chicago Concerts (1946); thanks to the previous reviewer. I checked track by track and found that every last one of the pieces was in fact taken from the the first CD of the Chicago Concerts. "Golden Feather" and "Blue Skys" are rightly labelled (although J-Bird can't spell); all the rest are scrambled. This disc contains part, not all, of the mislabelled Deep South Suite. It contains, mislabelled "Hiawatha", "Things ain't what they used to be". There is no Ellington composition to my knowledge titled "Things ain't what they seem to be". Certainly this disc ain't what it seems to be. I'll be cautious about anything J-Bird sells in the future.

It Breaks!

Purchased one 3 months ago new from Ken Cranes. Worked fine until a few days ago, picture went out. Ken Cranes won't replace, they have to send it in for repair and will take 2-3 weeks.I looked at alot of 26" LCD TV's and decided to go with the Sharp Aquos because of quality of build. I was wrong. I even spoke to Sharp and no chance of replacement. I have to send it in. What a pain.I thought I would get better service going to a retailer (Ken Cranes) and paying full pop retail rather than buying from the Internet and saving. Nope. I should have saved and bought through the net, the after-sale service is the same.

Turre does it again

Trombone and conch shell virtuoso Turre does it again on a wonderful collaboration with some of the finest jazz saxophonists around. Turre visits different genres, as always on this album, and again does a wonderful job. Turre can be heard sliding all over the changes with some gutbucket trombone, then switching over to a modern latin sound. I enjoyed this CD almost as much as "In the Spur of the Moment"(telarc 83484), and as a trombonist Turre's playing is, as always, greatly inspiring to me.

24 great talks, 8 good chapters of biography

The living apostle, M. Russell Ballard, is the grandson to this Apostle. In this book are some outstanding stories and talks besides his biography. The talk on the Sacramental Covenant has never been matched. The talk on the three degrees of glory is still in pamphlet form and used often. There are eight chapters on his life and 24 of his talks included in this book. Included on pages 138-139,is Elder Ballard's vision of the Lord and Savior that he had while in Montana on the Fort Peck Reservation. He gave this talk about this vision back in 1919. It is very touching and I believe will melt the hardest of hearts. Great talks, good biography.

Good, but could be better

The book is good, and the section of consciousness is very insightful. However, towards the end, the book becomes sort of redundant. He is driving home the same ideas over and over again. And even though he gives a good idea of what consciousness, divine human transformation, and society's benefits from such things are, in my opinion he could have gone into more detail about how to achieve consciousness and divine human transformation.

Knowledge of software+hardware makes a complete programmer

This book provides great insight into the _performance_ of hardware. How can one be a good programmer without knowing how it is that data gets to memory, how data flows through the CPU and what it is in the hardware that makes ones code fast or slow? It amazes me that most of the developers that I work with are ignorant or could not care less about the effects of cache misses, what superscalar/superpipelined really means, and how a "improper" stride through their array can make the performance of their code deplorable. This book makes for a great read and is guaranteed to make a programmer a better programmer.

It's a shame such a masterful album hasen't been edited in the US yet. Karen Ramirez delivers ten songs (and an a remix of her hit single "Looking for Love"), and all of them are outstanding: a mixture of Sade with drum and bass and touches of bossa nova. Each and every track is nearly a gem, starting with the brazilian flavoured "Troubled Girl" and and closing with the romantically trippy "People make the world go round. This promises to be one of the top albums of 98.

Babies Gone Wild

From the same author asI Stink!,I'm Dirty!, and many others, although in this case her husband Jim did not do the illustrations.I love children's books (especially the two mentioned above) but I truly loathe this one. Sorry.My kids *do* enjoy seeing the babies doing inappropriate things like ransacking the kitchen or going outside to play by themselves. There are NO parents or teachers present in any of the illustrations, just ten babies on their own. It's a daycare nightmare!The book does teach (very) basic rhymes and is probably good in principle to encourage interest in musical instruments. It also came with a free CD (with music by folk singers Peggo & Paul) though I disliked the song, possibly even more.

Obnoxious, non-cuddly, battery operated, demon toy

This is the toy that people who don't have kids buy. They think "Oh isn't that funny" but in reality the joy goes out of this toy half way through the only song it knows.It can barely sing its only song without slowing down and slurring. It stubbles clumsily like a drunk barely able to stay up-right. It is not cuddly but rather a hard case surrounded by the thinest of fake polyester-like fur. There is no educational value to this toy.The only thing this toy is good for; we bring it out to show people what a lousy toy looks like so they know never to buy anything like it!I suggest that you just sing and act silly to entertain your baby rather than buy this junk!

The beginning that introduces her journal is the best!

We are currently on page eighteen and were looking for information on the author. We are so interested in this book as Vicki Grove writes so amazingly well. This is a great book for kids our age (8-10) The begiining is very intriguing. The part when Brenda's father's death is creating problems for the Tuckers is interesting. We have many emotions, like feeling sad and concerned for Jean. We also feel happy when Jean shares her experiences. We will let you know more when we are done the book.

Long-lasting Treat

Our dog chews on each bully stick for up to an hour, obviously enjoying this healthy treat. The case of 35 is a good value compared to the price of small packages in pet stores.

Great product

I really like this product. I got a sample of it and tried it before I bought the 4oz jar. I use it after cleansing my skin every other day and it helps keep my skin hydrated. The Juara skin care line are good quality products. I also use the rice skin cleanser and Tamarind tea hydrating toner. The Juara products are 100% vegetarian, free of artificial colorants and do not use animals for testing.

I took this for a month and saw no change what so ever. It was a waste of time and money, at least for me.

Do not buy this toaster, do not buy Kitchen Aid

Beware - this toaster is a lemon. Just over three months from purchase, the bagel lock / warm buttons stopped working soon followed by the lever that would not lock. So not only could we not use for bagels we could not use for any types of bread. This is going in the trash. Definitely consider another model and another manufacturer. Kitchen Aid has lost an advocate here.

Not Kitchenaid Quality, Big isses

Have had this toaster for about 18 months, so now outside the 1 year warranty. Have experienced the unequal toasting issues mentioned by others, plus the plastic handle broke off, and now the toaster won't lock down any longer. So toaster is useless. We don't overuse this appliance and keep it very clean. There is no reason why we should have these problems so early in the lifecycle. My call to the customer service (number on the bottom of the toaster) resulted in offering a 30% discount on a new toaster (which is the same sale that Macy's has down the street except Kaid would add shipping charges!). I saw good ratings on this toaster (and I enjoyed it while it worked), so I wonder if I just got a lemon or the higher ratings I've seen came from buyers who haven't had it all that long. I expected a Kitchenaid toaster to last longer than 18 montsh. More so, I expected Kitchenaid to stand behind a product better with their name on it. Very disappointed, buyer beware.

More Fairy Tales!

One more incoherent dose of revisionist myths weaved together by another ANGLO & ROMANOPHOBE! Mr. Duffy lumps a wide variety of peoples into the Celtic camp. One unsubstantiated claim after another and a paltry bibliography gives one pause to the authors true agenda? Here are some blatant false claims. An Irishman was not the first crew member to step on Americas shore with Columbus.Horse stirrups & the iron plough came from Korea & the Avars brought them to Europe. The so-called Celtic bagpipes & Harp came from Bronze Age Persia & India. The Romans introduced them to the British Isles. The Scottish tv show Tartan tv stated as much. Unless the reader believes all progress in history came out of the fictitious Celtic camp they should skip this nonsense! If you wish to learn more about this very questionable topic? The books by Malcolm Chapman, John Collis, Stephen Oppenheimer, Simon James, & Bryan Sykes are very worthwhile in shedding light on the truth.

incohesive

This is one of the worst books I have ever bought. What a mistake! I am interested in the Celtic people. This is not the way to learn about them. The book presents various bits of information about the Celts but in an incohesive manner. I didn't finish reading it and don't intend to.

Now I Know

This book was a great read, escpecially for history buffs, and those who are fascinated by Celtic History. Kevin Duffy does excellent work bringing the reader from ancient Celts to modern day Celtic desendants and how they influence our lives today. Duffy also excells at painting a picture in the reader's mind of what Celtic life and times were like.

Just watch out for the colour...

I purchased these for my partner, and the excellent quality makes it worth every cent, but just be careful of the colour. It looks much darker in the pictures than it actually is. In real life is is closer to milk chocolate brown, whereas the display pictures seem to us to be closer to a dark chocolate or black coffee.

very little of value in this book

As is his style, Zeke Feinberg is boring, repetitive, and self worshipping. I did appreciate some information on setting the dice. But if the contents were organized and didn't repeat itself, the book could be a 12 page pamphlet worth $3.00. This book repeats much of another of Zeke's poor efforts, How to make $12 to $24 per hour

Well worth it! read below!

Hello from Dublin, CA. This book has helped not only myself, but the entire group in which we go to Tahoe, Reno and Vegas. WE all shoot togther at the tables and all set the dice. A few places get a little upset at us ,only when we win. We always have the correct answer for them, being smart players and trying to stay 1 step ahead of them. The price of this book, is not even 1 roll of the dice for us! Better yet, all 5 of us went in on it, so its almost free! You should find some of your freinds, or hook up with us, we take trips every month! We all need more practice, so our next venture is to build a 3/4 craps table, and all practice and have fun at the same time! Then, in between each trip we can practice all different strategies The book has some good fundmentals on setting the dice. Good luck at the tables to all of you!

Tenuous at best. Not very well organized.

The math behind this one is suspect if you ask me, but I'm no mathematical expert. Zeke proclaims to support his text by some very unusual numbers, but they might be right. There's something intriguing about what is suggested for pre-sets, so I had to spend the money on this book to find out what he was talking about. Definitely, not worth $20. $10, OK.Outside of the dice pre-setting discussion, the book is like a bunch of unorganized notes about the game. The table of contents will obviate that point when you first look at how the book is (not) organized.It would seem to me that you could get all you get from this book by talking with a craps player in a bar over a few drinks ... Rather, at least you'd get the same mathematical substantiation for pre-sets.

Very mediocre novel...

"Home movie" by Ellen Akins, tries to be a good "different" novel about coming of age. Instead, it has almost no plot(supposedly, the girl Joey learns from Giffard, the piano teacher, and tries to discover who this mysterious actor in the home movies is), and the characters are boring. Joey is OK, but she isn't memorable expect for being in the middle of a parental squabble that has her christened as "Joseph". The stripper, Daisy, is also not exciting, and flat. The wandering mother and Giffard come across as unpleasant users. Just avoid this book.

My Favorite Book as a Kid

"Rain" was my favorite book when I was a kid.The illustrations are vibrant, detailed and comforting. They teach you to celebrate rain and respect it, an important lesson for a kid growing up in the Pacific Northwest.It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I found this book again only to realize that it was a picture book. From what I remember, there were many, many story lines!I'm sad to see that "Rain" is out of print. If you find one at a second-hand bookstore, buy it! If you don't have kids, donate it to a library.

Rainy Day Keeper

This is the perfect book to enjoy on a rainy day, or any day for that matter. The rich detail that is not overdone draws the reader into the moment. Even though there are no words, there is much to comment on as we enjoy this book together. Like Peter Spier's other books, he shows life as it is meant to be: messy, joyful, and exuberant.

A Rare Jewel

They don't make them like this any more, as they say. This classic, written by a Nobel Prize winner, is revered in Europe, but little known in he United States. A word of warning: this book is the continuation of du Gard's Les Thibaults, the novel about a French middle class family at the turn of the 20th century. It would probably be better to read Les Thibaults first.

Metal & Wood Baker's Rack

Product was defective,had to re-adjust part of it so it would fit together. I was left with 5 screws not sure were they're suppose to go? There were no holes left to put them anyway. The color was black/black not as it appears in the picture on amazon. The company only wants to give me 10% back of my money back because I fixed there defective product. Amazon will have to arbitrate this one!

looks great assembled

The directions for assembly for this product are horrible. There are only so many times that you can photo copy a photo copy and still be able to see the image clearly. It is one piece of paper with 4 drawings for assembly. It wouldn't hurt to spend an extra 10 cents to have better directions. After assembling it and disassembling it several times to have the parts in the correct location, and not backwards, it looks great! For the money, it is a very nice rack.

should be an edited volume

This book should be an edited volume since the author contributes very little to the whole endeavour. If it weren't for Giroux's brilliant foreword, the dialogue with Freire and Chomsky, and Macedo's powerful afterword this book would be burried in the darkness of anonymity. Those of us who are interested in reading Giroux or Chomsky could go directly to the source. Given the mediocrity of this type of scholarship (with few exceptions of course)it is not surprising that multiculturalism still struggles to get a critical language.

A New Type of Book

I think that this book will appeal to people who truly enjoy reading and literature. In my view, it is a one of a kind, since it tells a story in a poem, rather than in pros. This gives it a sort of sing-song feel. The story itself is also very good, telling how a girl who looked so perfect to everyone on the outside, actually had many problems brewing inside, leading to a tragic end.

A Great Book

Split-Image, by Mel Glenn is a great book. This book is about a girl who helps everyone at school, and helps out with her brother at home. Everyone thinks thatshes a perfect person. But at night she's a whole different person. She goes to dance clubs in the middle of the night. This book tells a lot about teen's and thier problems. I would recommend this book to any person who likes to read books in the form of poetry.

relating to this story

The book is about a Chinese girl growing up in an American society, who decides to find herself in the library. I picked this book up in my high school library, ironically enough. I spend most of my after school time there, in the library. I looked through this book, not expecting this girl to relate to me in any single way. I am Chinese myself, with both a working dad and a working mom, both love me, but in a Chinese way. And here i am living, growing up American. I enjoyed this book like i enjoy any type of poetry...and i realize i enjoy it a bit more differently than other people enjoy it. they dont see the mother's love, because they are too american. Or the father's love. This book is amazing to all who read it, I'm sure, but keep your eyes open for unseen love. This girl in the story did not, and it led to her downfall. :D I loved this book.

Great but flawed Hawk recording

There's something about these sessions: Hawk seems relaxed and happy in the admiring and non-competive environment of Hawk's European sabbatical. 78 record transcription sound is below par, but the music is good enough to overcome that in most cases. It is unfortunate that the producer chose to include 4 tracks (9-12) of what he himself in the liner notes refers to as a poorly recorded (amen!) Swiss session. The upside for fans is Hawk SINGS(!) on "Love Cries". Don't start here if you're not a fan, but if you are, this presents yet another side of the tenor god. Mostly swing renditions of standards. The last two tracks smoke like crazy.Update: just got the 4CD boxed setThe Essential Sides 1929-1939, which contains all this material and a great deal more for just a few dollar$ more.

Refund refusal

The experience I had with this item was horrendous. It is a very expensive book, which they decided to take about 3 weeks to send. I needed the book for a Master level class for which I could not wait to start reading the material. I decided to cancel the order and buy the text in person to avoid the wait.The system aparently did not cancel the order and I ended up buying both books. The seller refuses to give me refund because she says I took too long to make a claim. It it regretful that Amazon maintains this type of individuals in their seller list.I will not be using Amazon again.Handbook of Social Work with Groups

Not for Creative Nomad!!!

I bought this charger for use with the Creative Nomad NX MP3 player, after seeing it was recommended in the amazon site for use with the Nomad.Well... it seems that someone didn't even care to check if the technical specifications are correct!! after recieving it I discovered that it does not fit the specifications for the player (Creative engineers did not understand why amazon was recommending to buy this adaptor with the Nomad!!) and that the reversed polarity does not enable it to be a true "international" adapter. I only found reversed polarity in the US so the adaptor does not fit into any other socket or adaptor for European sockets!!!!I am quite angry that no one cared to check if the specifications correlate with the Nomad before recommending to buy it.So to sum up - don't get it. you will be throwing away your money.

Near Perfect Adapter for Sony Walkman CD Player

I ordered this adapter with trepidation since the last time I tried to find an adaptor (set of) nothing worked. I have been running through 2 AA batteries per week and I finally broke down to search amazon one more time for an AC adaptor for the device (I listen to meditation CDs on it) and this one arrived 1.5 days, works perfectly. My only wish is that the cord were a bit longer (*or I need to get another extension cord) But this works perfectly and now I can use this almost anytime.. and without worrying about buying more batteries.

Works fine for Discman, but product deteriorates quickly

I purchased this adapter to save on batteries with my Sony Discman, and the product worked great for about 15 months. A few weeks ago, I was using the adapter and noticed a spark. The insulation on the cord had deteriorated and nearly started a fire. The texture of a 7-inch section of the cord looks like the coating had melted. The adapter was never put to unusual use. It was plugged in by my desk and was never misused or abused by anyone. I called Sony to complain and they offered me free shipping if I purchased a replacement. I declined. I have never had a cord that went bad in just a little over a year, and am very disgusted with the product.

Not compatible

The Sony AC-E45A AC Power Adaptor is presented as being compatible with the Sony ICF-M410V portable radio. The web site advertisment encourages you to buy the adaptor if you buy the radio by offering a package. Reality is that the adaptor causes the radio to have unacceptable noise and static. What is worse is that the notes on the reverse side of the Sony AC-E45A power adaptor carton say, "Do not use this adaptor with a radio as it may cause some noises." Obviously, had I been aware of the notes on the backside of the carton, I would not have purchased the adaptor and probably not the radio as well.

Didn't buy it

Because of the negetave coments on this item regarding feedback noise, and even though my primary use is for CD/MP3 books and not music, I didn't buy it. Instead I purchased the one from Radio Shack, part number 273-353 that was suggested by one of the reviewers. There is no feedback noise associated with this power adapter, in either music or CD mode.

STATIC PRODUCER

The use of this AC power adaptor has increased the amount of static to the point where using the radio with the adaptor is pointless. On battery the radio works very well, just attach the adaptor and all reception is lost.Invest in batteries rather than this product.

This adapter NOT compatible with Sony ICF-M410V Portable FM/AM/TV/Weather Radio

SUMMARY: Adaptor could create interference if used with AM radios; acceptable for CD, MP3, or other non-radio applications. The 2-Star rating applies to use with radios only (not recommended)EVALUATION:The AC adaptor is typically presented as a "better together" purchase recommendation for Sony's ICF-M410V Portable FM/AM/TV/Weather Radio. However, information on the adaptor's package specifically states that the adaptor is NOT recommended for use with radios due to potential interference. The (unstated) reason for this is that the power supply in the adaptor is a switching supply which creates interference, particularly for AM signals.The adaptor should work with CD or MP3 players without any problems, as this is the intended application.NOTE: I am basing this recommendation on the information Sony provides on the package. I have NOT tried it (I returned the adaptor unopened to Amazon for refund).
