Excellent product!
I have used this product off and on over the years. I find this quite effective with or without the Xylitol added. Add a little extra baking soda on your toothbrush if you really like to feel the scrubbing power. I find the tartar almost melts away or is greatly reduced. The product is much more effective after a visit to your dentist and reduces the reappearance of the calcium and tartar with regular brushing. I speak from experience after finding I wanted to keep my original teeth a bit longer and had preventative dental maintenance performed. | 1 |
Shucks
I should have ordered the Thieves paste without Xylitol so I did not experience "that weird aftertaste" after use. I can taste the essential oils, but my mouth feels like I ate a Tic Tac or something similar, leaving that "not so fresh" residue behind. Oh well. I'll pass it along or recycle the product. | 0 |
The vocal part is totally missing from this Carmina Burana Suite
The vocal part is totally missing from this Carmina Burana Suite. When I bought it, I was not paying attention. What a mistake! Can you imagine Beethoven's Ninth Symphany without the vocal part? | 0 |
Great Read . . . Even If You're Not a Science Geek
LOST WORLD is a great read. It ranks right up there with anything that Krackauer has done. Koppel's writing is brisk and dramatic, an intelligent page turner. I'm an ecclectic reader and an armchair adventurer at best, but I was immediately captivated by these stories of extreme science. Three cheers for Koppel. And five stars for LOST WORLD! | 1 |
Interesting but unnecessarily wordy
This book is well written and the ideas presented are well developed and clear. The descriptions of the excavations and the dating of artifacts are exciting. The only shortcoming which discouraged me from giving the book five stars is the fact that there's a lot of seemingly unnecessary and unrelated text that detracts from the main theme and flow of ideas in the book, e.g., the Baron of beef au jus incident; I fully agree with the Publishers Weekly's review on this issue. Otherwise, the book is informative in presenting an alternative view, and related evidence, as to the mechanics of how the New World was populated by humans. | 1 |
great wires
Great wires. does what I needed it to. Wish they would have given me more connectors to fit the large power wire. | 1 |
waste of money
buy the stuff separate the company is drawing you in with their name you can buy all of this and more for less and i even got a capacitor with the set i bought trust me there is not difference with the wire go buy your wire at walmart or meijer or what ever department sort in your area that sells car audio buy the same sizes of wire just by a no name brand your dropping alot of money on your car audio dont waste it on the wires | 0 |
no wheels
I have tried to contact the company that made the folding cart that I purchased. I desperately need the wheels that were supposed to come with the cart. I received only one wheel and no instructions as how to put it together.I gave up and have had the cart in my car in hopes that I will be able to go to a hardware store and get the items and instructions I need.Please send me a phone number or address so I can get the cart on the road.SincerelyJoan Sigmon704-588-0615jsigmon3@bellsouth.net | 0 |
thank goodness for easy local store returns
I've had the same experience - this one falls apart after a short period of moderate use. I returned mine (assembled) to my local Target store. It took about 5 minutes and was easy. | 0 |
Don't buy this cart. You will be sorry
This cart is too small. The Target stores didn't have them anymore. Not that easy to put together. And can see why the wheels don't stay on with what they are put together with. Another retailer had the same one for less. By the time I paid tax, shipping and handling this cart was more. I don't have a car so the only reason I ordered it online. I really like Target but this was a great disappointment. I put the cart back in the box. It would do if I only needed a small cart. This won't hold much of anything. If I can't get a way to take it to the store will be out the money. I read how to put it together but makes no sense to me. Target you need to do better than this. The ones you sold in your stores were big. But they fell apart too. | 0 |
Not worth the money
I bought this cart and I'm sorry I wasted my money. The instructions are not clear as to how to lock the wheels in place, and as a result the whole cart fell apart when I had my groceries in it. When I finally got it together correctly, it did not prove to be sturdy. It is wobbily and does not roll right. I don't suggest buying it. | 0 |
Household cleaning
I made a liner with pockets and use this cart for all my housecleaning stuff. I just wheel it from room to room and now I just buy one of everything. Saves space under the sinks. It's just so handy! The cotter pins on the front wheels slip out if you push them in all the way, then the wheels fall off, but it's easy to repair. Once the back wheels are on, they should never be a problem. The front wheels, when installing, it's axel, washer, wheel,washer. The back wheels are installed, axel, washer, spring, washer, wheel, washer,cap, pin. Once you push the pin through the holes on the cap and axel,Don't forget to open the pin and use a screwdriver to push it flat side to side. This cart is also great for walking to the Farmers Market or grocery store. | 1 |
Missing parts
I received the cart in a timely manner, but when I went to assemble it, one part was missing. Part D, the front axle, was not included. I've been searching for a customer service email or some way to contact you regarding the replacement part, but can't find anything on the website. Please let me know how to get it replaced. Thank you. | 0 |
Very sturdy, some pieces keep coming off though...
My husband cut the tops off to shorten the height and put the two accross pieces back onto the shortened legs. This is to accomodate holding a DJ box instead of a keyboard height. The rubber skid stoppers keep sliding off, which is annoying, and the end plugs fall out and we already lost two, otherwise it's a heavy, sturdy stand. | 1 |
Lots of examples, but not many helpful solutions
I was looking for some help witha troublesome mother-in-law relationship, and this one had some good reviews. I was fairly disappointed by it though.First, the book offered a number of real-life examples, but the arrangement of these stories into seprate chapters seemed a little unclear to me--I found it hard to locate the sections that might be most helpful for my specific situation.The second problem I had with the book is that the author apparently has no training in psychology or family therapy--according to the author bio she teaches screenwriting. So, she presents a lot of examples, but the "solutions" are not really solutions, but rather just statements of what the results of a particular situation are likely to be. I was looking for more concrete solutions. | 0 |
Typical one-sided book
i really thought I would give this book the benefit of the doubt. I thought the author would be subjective, but once again, she takes the mothers-in-law side. I happened to read a newspaper article in which she stated something like daughters-in-law usually have problems with their mothers-in-law in their twenties and then learn to appreicate their mothers-in-law later in life. That is so untrue. Unfortulately, the author found an interesting subject to write about, but it does not feel like she really knows what it feels like to be a daghter-in-law in distress. Good try,but I will keep searching. | 0 |
I would not recommend this book....
I would not recommend this book....Mothers-in-Law and Daughters-in-Law: Love, Hate, Rivalry and Reconciliation.....I donated it to the library!~I bought several books with this theme.... | 0 |
Mother-in-lawsAnd Daughter-in-laws
This is the worst book I have ever read. It is written in the style of a 6th grades outline. Each section provides specific relationship problems between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law and how it effects the son. Then it gives you a very short simple suggestion for what should be done. The problem is if you don't fit in to one of these very specific relationships the information is useless.Very boring to read also, a waste of time and money. | 0 |
Poor sound quality
The poor quality of this recording spoils the performance. It was recorded at various concerts in Germany in the 40's and 50's. Audience members are clearly heard coughing and clearing their throats. I do not recommend this recording. | 0 |
Furtwangler had no conception of classical structure
You can call these performances of Brahms' symphonies anything you want--gripping, heartstopping, electrifying, earplugging--but the one thing you can NOT call them is accurate. Unlike Wagner, Bruckner or Mahler, the "great Romantics" who Furtwangler played so well, Brahms was a classicist. Indeed, a certain famous musician once said that he became "ever more austere, calm, terse and concentrated," more like Cherubini (Brahms' own words) than like Tchaikovsky. And who was this famous musician who called Brahms "austere, calm and terse"? Why, none other than Wilhelm Furtwangler himself! Which just goes to show that he KNEW Brahms to be a classicist, yet insisted on conducting him like a Romantic.These, then, are stylistically incorrect, musically inexact, emotionally hysterical readings of a great German classist. Save your money. | 0 |
The best Brahms cycle I have heard so far
The Furtwangler cycle of Brahms is comething special indeed. The sound leaves much to be desired, but trust me, after you hear the performances you will never want to hear Brahms any other way (no matter how good the sound is)!! This cycle is raw, uninhibited, fierce, probing, tragic but above all powerful. Take the finle of the 4th symphony as an example. It is played at a faster pace of any other recording I have heard of the piece. At the end the variations played on strings are almost a little sloppy. But playing them at that tempo gives the overall movement such great power, spontaniety and drive that it does'nt matter. These performances are should be the gold standard for all others. No other brahms cycle comes ever close. | 1 |
congratulation
I can say it's really excellent, because of:-really strong and easy explanation-too much exams and problems solving-include Matlab code and compare the results to the theory.-every chapter has a specific reference that's really helpful.-its cover all you need about UWB and explain step by step-finally I've read five time this book and still it's interested for me.Congratulation to the authoresuniversity of calgary omid | 1 |
Perhaps a book for a course on UWB
The book was disappointing. It certainly does not help me understand UWB radio fundamentals. However, it might be usefull for certain UWB courses that might be taught somewhere (which I would not like to attend either). It follows the growing practice of pretending that radio design (in general and UWB radio in particular) is just a matter of matlab code and figures. | 0 |
Riddled with Errata, confusing
This book is filled with errors and is completely useless if you don't follow the Author's train of thought because they happily jump from one concept to the other without any thought for the concepts that need to be explained in between. Topics are difficult to understand, explanations of the installation of the software they require you to use are limited (and the software is a pain the you know where).I can't recommend this book to anyone other that the authors, because it seems to have only been written for themselves. | 0 |
Full of Errors and Typos
This book has hindered my learning of Python, not enhanced. It does cover many aspects of Python, but I have a hard time feeling like I can trust what is written in the later chapters, when the first chapters are so full of errata and typos. The explanations of the coding examples can be poor at times. It also jumps around a bit, instead of focusing on a concept and hammering it home. Also, I have reported errata to Wrox, via their website, but it has not been added to the list of known errata. Do not purchase this book. It will not serve as a decent reference and you will only end up confused when coding example after coding example only leave you scratching your head. They don't work like the book says they will, or they only end up giving you errors when you try to execute them. In a book that is over 550 pages of text, I have found errors on pages 24, 31, 37, and 50. | 0 |
The most absurd examples ever!!
Really?! An Omelette is the best example you could come up with? fridge contents? types of cheese? wanted food? Who programs that stuff? Is that the level of abstract that your brain can handle? What is wrong with you authors?!Somebody gave me this book for free. I just browsed through its first 70-80 pages. I am afraid I have to through it away! You know?! With the rest of the spoiled food!!!!!Here is a suggestion to the authors. Pick up a Murach book to see how a programming book is written!!Here is another suggestion to the authors. How about if you use something close to a real life application? like a teacher wants to keep record of its students grades, or a company needs to keeps track of its emplyees, salaries, etc. | 0 |
If you are an experienced programmer, this is NOT the book for you
It may be useful for someone learning Python as their introduction to programming. I've programmed in C for years. I was looking for an introductory book that would also be a good reference to the Python language. This is not it. Every time I go to the book to find something I come up empty and end up looking in the free download version of Learning Python. | 0 |
Andrea does it again!
This was a great historical romance. I love Andrea, and I am glad that she has finally a book set in the states. Dane and Jacqui are really likeable characters, and I loved the kitten "whiskey". Set during the Revelutionary War, Dane and Jacqui follow there hearts and beliefs. Jacqui is daring and not a fainting miss. Dane is the hero of every girls dreams.If you love Andrea you will love this book. Andrea has not let us down with this one. | 1 |
Practically Tasteless
I like products like Instant Breakfast, Slim Fast, etc. and thought this one would be similar. It has an incredibly thick and grainy texture and not much taste at all. I will try to finish, after all, I paid $$ for it, but I will have to hold my nose as I try to swallow!! If you are going to try this product, I recommend asking the club manager for a sample before making an investment. | 0 |
Didn't like taste at all
The taste was terrible and this product has an artificial sweetener in it that I wasn't aware of. I wish I would have paid attention to one of the previous reviews. | 0 |
Two in a row bad
I've now had 2 in a row of these go bad .. first one failed after no less than 30 minutes .. its replacement only lasted 24 hours. I had one of the same brand before that lasted for 1.5 years (if not more). | 0 |
HORRIBLE
Burned out two days after having it. Never had a problem with these before I am not sure if we just got a bad one or what. | 0 |
Could have been so much better!
The best thing about this movie was Vincent Corazza. Working with crappy dialog and a plot that tackled too many issues, he did a fantastic job expressing his character's confusing emotions without the need for words. This movie would have been really great had it stuck to the primary plot of a relationship between a married heterosexual man and a gay man. The main plot should have dealt soley with the bisexual issue and concepts of love, rather than bring in HIV, transgendered issues, fatal illnesses, dealing with the death of friends, euthanasia, etc.Like so many 'gay' themed movies out there, it is morbid, sad, and filled with pain and suffering. Plus it deals with so many psychological issues that viewers tend to get lost and can't connect with any of the characters. Could have been much better. It's worth a look though, for Vince Corazza. | 0 |
The Metropolis Mixer
This movie is so mixed with good points and bad that when the movie is finished you really feel nothing for the characters. The bodies and faces of the actors are beautiful, stunning in fact, but what lies beneath is a heaping mess. David, the gay painter, is so consumed with himself (as his friend is dying) and Matt (the husband) is stumbling with his sexual idenity crisis that in trying to find himself he destroys others in his wake. The only real character that shines, but briefly, is Violet (the wife) who gives us a small glimpse of a woman that is betrayed and caught in a bewildering situation which she has no real way to vent her fustration. Overall the paintings and beautiful people are nice to look at, but the overacting by David and Matt and a storyline that is scant finds one leaving metropolis and heading for the hills. | 0 |
Selfish gay guy ruins a marriage
The boys are cute, the filmaking OK, sex scenes hot....but once again the gay guy ruins lives... seduces a married man and thinks nothing of the wife or her feelings. All end up miserable....not a message I would hope for- no good comes of this affair. | 0 |
A terrible film
If bad writing, implausible situations, and poor directing appeal to you, then you will love this film. I see at least 150 films a year..... BAD ones are easy to spot; the lapses in continuity alone were enough to make me want to leave the theatre. If you're curious about this film, rent it, don't buy. | 0 |
Finally...real toast
I was sceptical at first as the bread we had didn't toast very well...but, the bagels were superb! Trying a different bread, one not as moist, proved that this machine really knows how to make toast. It is evenly toasted, but not dried out and am able to use the #5 setting for the degree of browning that I like. The key to a good toaster I've found is the closeness of the wires in the grid inside. Thank you Kitchen-Aid! | 1 |
Really pitiful
Mechanism on left side started failing rigHt away. Now, it won't stay down ... So no toast from left side. Right side is still working, but I bought a 4-slot toaster, not a 2-slot. I bought Kitchenaide because of its rep for durability. I should have paid attention to the other negative comments for this product. | 0 |
Waste of $
This toaster is no longer functioning after owning it for just a year. The knobs to push the bread down no longer stay down. The first mechanism broke about two months ago, so I could at least toast two pieces at a time - now the second mechanism broke. This toaster has never toasted evenly. If I wanted all sides toasted, then I had to endure part of it being burnt. Very disappointing to waste so much money on an inferior product. | 0 |
Pitiful
Our second one just broke (the replacement for the first one, which broke).Kitchenaid used to mean great quality. Now, it just means crap. Sad to see a company let their reputation go to crap like this.The first time an element went bad. This time, the knob on the front broke, fell off and won't stay on. | 0 |
Had to return it and replace it
We had a problem with this toaster almost immediately after receiving it. The lever that you push down to start toasting would not hold from time to time. Then after a while it would hold again. Also, one of the parts fell off. The lever you use to push the toast down came off completely. Shortly thereafter, we had to return this toaster. We got a refund (it cost close to $100). We replaced it with a 4 slice toaster from Black and Decker for one third the cost of this one. The new product is 100 times better and we have owned it for a few months. It has more features and is a much superior product. Also, fits better on the counter. The one positive comment is that we had no problem with the return and in a matter of a few weeks received the total refund on the money we paid for the Kitchenaid toaster. | 0 |
So far, so good with one negative.
The toaster is solidly built. I use the "bagel" feature much more than I thought. I can toast buns, English muffins, and bagels without scorching the bottom. The toaster is quick in toasting but there is indeed one problem with it. It does toast unevenly. I like my toast well toasted but not burnt. One side of a piece of toast is perfect and the other is a little burnt. If you like your toast lightly toasted (light tan) then this is not a problem. A little annoying. | 1 |
about as fun as twiddling your thumbs...
this game had great potential, i'm an old fan of the origonal, but it sucks big time. its mega boring and very one dimensional. the only good thing i can say about this game is that it costs about 20 bucks, which is a relative cheap mistake to make. | 0 |
Repetitive
If you like the classic Rampage games then you'll love this one. They took Rampage to a higher level. It has some 3D look to it. Still not allowing you to Free Roam through a city like War of the Monsters does though, but it plays like the classics. Which is exactly what it was made to do. There are also 30 different monsters in the game. This is a great game to play and let out your rage. Why destroy something small in your house when you can put in Rampage and take out a whole city? I am a fan of the old Rampage games so I myself really enjoy this game. | 0 |
Fun Game for Kids and Adults!
For only [...] this game is a BARGAIN! I bought it for my 6 year old and he and I really enjoy this game. It's easy to learn and fun to play. You can collect a variety of monsters to play as and you can aquire different cities to roam and destroy things in (buildings, cars, helicopters, people, etc). I would definitely recommend this game. You'll love it, we did! | 1 |
Great
The whistle is very loud with the unique low frequency that seems to undercut crowd noise very easily. Also, the tip makes it impossible to bash your teeth on the metal when moving too quickly to care. | 1 |
An ideal book for Jaguar lovers.
This book maintains the standards that these series of books are known for and this book is no exception.This book will please most people.If you love E-Type Jaguars and you want to learn more them this book is ideal.Plenty of photographs throughout of various models and good information make this book worthwhile.Ideal guide to restoring. | 1 |
Crap..
Can't really say much else about this movie. I thought that the five star rating was too good to be true..well I was right. Dull, slow, and witless humor. I couldn't even make through the entire movie. Very misleading five star ratings and reviews. Wish I could get a refund.. | 0 |

An Amusement park of an album
I cannot focus on the album's contents! The band that made this great piece of art is not Girls under Glass, but "Girl" from Britain. Great but ill-fated album from an Ill-fated band. Has many killer songs. It sounds awfully good considering that most of the tracks were just demos and that it was made almost two decades ago. It must have been sensational if this album had been produced properly and released in the 80's, even in the 90's. There are no tracks to be missed, but listen to songs like I Got Love(so simple so more beautiful), Sound of cars(just good sound all over), Big Night out, This Town make you feel like you are on dangerous rides. Well, all songs on this album make an amusement park itself, from a merry-go-round (Juliet) to a bumpy bumper car(King Rat) car to a dizzy rollercoaster. | 1 |

Actual product is black
My husband builds houses and the tool rig in the image is the only one he's found to be comfortable wearing all day, but his is warn out. So, we ordered this item, and we received a similar tool rig in black. We live in Hawaii and black is just too hot for working in the sun all day. | 0 |
What a disappointment!
Don't bother with this book. There are singularly few trips, to begin with, and they cover such a tiny portion of the potential material. Worse, he misses all the good stuff! For instance, in San Francisco proper, due to geology classes I've taken and scouting around on my own, I could think of a score of excellent sites, whereas he chose only a few sites and those are mediocre-to-poor. Don't waste your money. | 0 |
A Very Informative Book
The book helped me on a high school geology project and provided me with all necessary information on Angel Island. It has maps that show where on the island all rock types can be found, and the history behind them. | 1 |
BMW Series 3 1975-1992 Motor Racing Publications Collectors Series
This book is not the book it says it is. I bought it for my 14 year old son for Christmas, when he looked at it the entire book was about E-Type Jaguars and written by a completely different author than the one on the front cover. The cover is the only mention of BMW 3-Series. | 0 |
Not bad, If it were the right one...

Beyond history
We all think of different things at the same momentous moments so it was very interesting to go into the thoughts of those who were experiencing the mutiny. The book captures the English psychology during the imperial times with great detail. The characters are very well done. I wish there had been a better description of the compound, even a map, because couldn't follow where what was happening. All in all an excellent read. | 1 |
Humanizes history
This fictionalized version of a major event in Anglo-Indian history illuminates that history, although it has a happier ending than the real thing. | 1 |
Good Book
While this story can get tedious at times, I found it to be a good story, well told. While it was written in the mid to late 20th century it is told in the voice of it's time setting -- very Victorian. I am fascinated by all things related to the East India Company and while this is a story of fiction it has a strong ring of truth about it. The author doesn't shy away from the terrible toll the seige takes on all involved and the matter of fact way in which he handles it makes it all the more powerful. | 1 |
Siege of Krishnapur
Very detailed handling of the action sequences involving the Sepoy revolt at Krishnapur. Descriptions of the actions and tactics within the besieged compound convincing and exciting. Author's tendency to wordiness and character development slows down the narrative but may be fascinating to some readers. The eventual saving of the remaining survivors handled in a cursory manner and less than satisfying. All in all worth the read. | 1 |
There are other wonderful J. G. Farrell novels
Readers who enjoy The Siege of Krishnapur might be interested to know that the same publisher has a paperback edition of Troubles, Farrell's novel set during the Irish Troubles of the early 1920s. He wrote it just before Krishnapur, and it's nearly as good. His other novels, unfortunately, are out of print--maybe someone could bring them back? Especially A Girl in the Head (his most Nabokovian book, about a middle-aged man's lech for a young woman), The Singapore Grip (a comic epic about the fall of Singapore to the Japanese in WWII), and The Hill Country (an unfinished novel, interrupted by his death, but still worth reading; it features Dr. McNab from The Siege of Krishnapur). This guy was one of the best postwar British novelists, and unfortunately died much too young. He deserves to have his books in print. | 1 |
Lots of ups and downs
While a great deal of the novel is well written and indeed stunning in its imagery and use of language, a great deal of it is not. There is much plodding, pedestrian verbiage larded heavily with cliches, and incidents that are wildly improbable to say the least. The author has added a great deal of detail to the battle scenes, but I found myself many times frowning too often at miracles that could simply not be performed by such a small, beleaguered garrison.It's one thing to research warfare and write a book containing battle scenes, quite another to experience war before picking up your pen. | 0 |
I got half way through
I gave up at about half way through this book. I was unable to connect with or care about the characters in the story. | 0 |
The siege of Krishnapur
Found the style of writing pedantic and long-winded. Didn't get past chapter 1. Maybe if I had persevered further would have found something. | 0 |
Borring English history in India
I like history and historical stories but this book is very borring in the long repeated details of the British Tea Company and how they, the British, settled India. This book has a lot of details of how arragonant the British were in the early colony settlement of India. However this attention to detail to me was very borring. | 0 |
Refreshing and eloquent
A refreshing author! The plot is almost secondary to the descriptive narrative. The descriptions make the story and scenery come alive and I felt as though I was there; experiencing the sights, smells and emotions. This kind of "losing yourself in a book" is lacking in today's historical fiction. Excellent research into the event. I would like to have known the author personally--he must have been an extraordinary conversationalist. I will definitely read more from this author. | 1 |
I question the paper/ink format they used for printing this
Yes, these are Paint-By-Numbers, Picross, Illustrated Logic, Nonogram, Griddler type puzzles. I love these types of puzzles- BUT the Sunday Telegraph series bothers me as the earlier volumes (1 and 2 I believe) contained errors within the puzzles. Also, these are printed on regular paperback novel-type paper, so you'll be scratching away holes through the pages if your pencil is too sharp... and erasing on this paper/ink combo leaves for a horrid mess!I bought all these (spent $10 each! to have them imported a few years back)before these picture puzzle books became more mainstream and easier to locate.I'd suggest avoiding these books if at all possible.BTW- Each puzzle contains a "title" which gives away what the puzzle will be once completed-I couldn't believe this :( | 0 |
classic
No book is a substitute for a good teacher, but if you are a serious student of taijiquan, you will benefit from this resource. The posture instructions and discussion of details are exemplary and the sort of thing that can help you refine your practice over time, even if you have been doing this for a while. highly recommended. Younger students can also benefit, if studied together with following your teacher's instruction. | 1 |
Mastering Tai Chi
Excellent book to guide you on a good path in understanding that Tai Chi is beyond movements. It shows the connection to the Tao. | 1 |
new as advertised
This item was advertised as new, and I received it in new, excellent condition. The price was well below retail, so this was a great bargain. | 1 |
Why does everyone else give this book 5 stars??
The bulk of this book is taken by yet another description of the form - and, in my personal opinion, form is something that can only be taught in person - thus the value is dubious.The section on "push hands" and da-lu is also very mechanical.And as far as the remaining "non-pictorial" part of the book, a much better - and more comprehensive - option would be "Tai Chi Touchstones" by D. Wile. | 0 |
Amazing
Pretty much what you are looking for in a Yang family style book. It will not teach you Taijiquan, find a teacher for that. It will help you look upon what you are doing better and with a wider eye. It is very interesting, and if you are asking questions about the forms and stuff you are learning, this will answer them.A definite must for any Yang family Taijiquan lookers ;) Very nice, Very much worth the money, yet it should be worth more, in my opinion. | 1 |
Mastering Yang Style Taijiquan
Very detailed descriptions of each posture in the traditional Yang Family T'ai-Chi Ch'uan. For the practioner who wants to get to the bottom of each posture in the form. The new translations of some of the T'ai-Chi Ch'uan Classics is very enlightening. | 1 |

Stephen Levine has saved my psyche!!!!
I have recently experienced a profound loss and I knew I had to go to Mr. Levine for some relief, some profound mercy. His voice is so soothing, but not so soothing as his philosophies and meditations. To me he is the best in this field, period and I have investigated widely in this area. You know and feel that he has been there, that he knows what he is talking about. He gives you the idea that getting through life's most severe traumas is not only doable, but very effective in making one grow as a person and soul. | 0 |
Great for video but cannot be used for stills w/ flash
If you purchase this wide angle lens adapter for the Xacti HD1A, you will not be able to take still photos using the built in flash. The adapter blocks the flash and causes black shadows in the bottom half of your photos.It does work well for video. The Sanyo Xacti HD1A camera itself is a disappointment. | 0 |
Thomas the Tank Engine DVD: The Early Years
I searched the internet for a DVD that included the Thomas stories my sons watched on public television on Shining Time Station. We had video tapes that had been played countless hours and as my sons grew, I gave those to my nephew. They were given away as he outgrew them. I wanted to find the"real" Thomas stories for my grandson, and I found them! Thanks! | 1 |
Does not disappoint
A BCUK album seems to always contain two discs. The first consists of songs that are hit or miss, but the latter is a mix CD that makes your purchase worthwhile. They did it on "Shot Down on Safari," and they do it once again on "Bad Taste." The first CD contains some alright songs, but the mix CD on the second disc is high quality. I have listened to it over and over in the week that I have owned this CD, and it is one of the premier DnB mixes that I have ever heard. I would highly recommend this to DnB enthusiasts (who should already own this album) and new commers alike. | 1 |
Its dope
I cant say much more than has been said, so ill tell u that it wobbles, boom baps, is a woofer-breaker, and may snap your neck.Respektz | 1 |
Own Two Copies
This is by far my favorite book written in this genre. I own two copies, one that I have on my collectables shelf and never read and one that I read at least once a month. A really great story, that I would recommend to everyone who loves Highlanders and strong lasses. | 1 |
Great stroller, but terrible restraint system
This stroller makes for a nice and smooth, ergonomic ride. My son and I love going for quick runs in the countryside. But the shoulder restraints are more-or-less useless-- it's nothing better than a lap belt that allows the child to slip his/her arms out and lean forward as far as s/he wants. Even as a lap belt it is inconvenient, because you must thread the belt through narrow slips for the shoulder straps and then through a thick blue sleeve at the child's crotch-- which bunches up sometimes. Something better is needed here, maybe a system more like common child carseat restraints.The tires, suspension/shocks, grips, etc are all of excellent quality, it is easy to assemble, and the child will barely feel rocks and potholes at speed. The fixed wheel and long wheelbase makes for great jogging on longer, straighter journeys. Of course, if you plan on doing lots weaving through crowded city streets, you probably aren't looking at this stroller anyway. | 1 |
Perfect for my needs
This is a great jogging stroller for someone who justs wants to walk fast or lightly jog. I am not a serious runner - just a mom looking to get some exercise! My son is large for 15 months and fits very comfortably in the seat. I agree with other posts that the harness system is fairly basic and not the easiest to adjust, but it is safe once it is on and I have had no problems with it. The basket underneath and the parent tray are nice features; the stroller is easy to maneuver and it is a nice ride over many different terrains. My son is not jostled all over the place. This is a great jogger for a great price!! | 1 |
great stroller for your $
Overall this is a great stroller for the money.Advantages:It is a nice looking stroller that rides smoothly. It has decent pockets. It is a good price for a jogging stroller.Disadvantages:The front wheel takes some adjusting to get it so the stroller doesn't drift to one side. The buckels/restraints are clumsy and it is not as simple as just snaping the child in. You have to thread the lap belt through the fabric at the crotch and through the shoulder straps which can be tricky with a squirmy child (other jogging strollers I have used are much easier). Also, a squirmy child could slip their arms out of the shoulder straps. To be very critical, I would have to say that the fabric makes loud crinkling sounds when putting your child in and out (unlike some other jogging stollers I have used). | 1 |
No es util
El carro es muy bueno para ir rapido derecho, pero para doblar es una tortura porque la rueda es fija y no dobla. Ademas la parte donde esta el bebe es super dura, sin acolchado.. Ademas sirve para bebes de mas de 7 meses porque bebes mas chicquitos es medio inseguro a mi entender. | 0 |
jajaja Butterfly Europa???

great natural soap
This soap is made with a special blend of essential oils from Young Living called "Thieves." The oil blend is called that because it is based on a formula used by a group of robbers in medieval times who rubbed themselves with the oils to keep from getting sick while robbing plague victims (yeah, nice people). They offered up the formula in return for more lenient sentences when they were caught.Thieves blend has been tested in laboratories and is quite effective in killing a wide variety of microbes.I have not found better essential oils than those produced by Young Living, and have been extremely happy with almost every product of theirs I have used.If you are looking for a more natural, mildly germicidal soap which does not have a huge load of synthetic, probably noxious, chemicals, then definitely give this a try. | 1 |
Good monitor
Text looks fine to me using 256 colors and 800 x 600 resolution. Colors appear bright. No flicker at 85 Hz. Windows 2000 found the monitor so I didn't have to use the install disk. Good on-screen controls. My main concern was durability and since my old Viewsonic monitor is still going strong after four hard years I chose another Viewsonic. | 1 |
A collection of wonderful texts
Impossible to understand why Alvaro Mutis' novels are out of print. They are definitely away of any possible comparison to any other writer. His mythology's conception includes navigators, ships and territories where the most amazing situations happen. His character Maqroll is a mixture of a wise man, a voyager, a vagabond, a cynical, a man of true but exotic lovers.This book compiles his seven works of literature... and all of them are a trip to magical lands, ghostly ships and unique companions... if you are not native Spanish speaker hardly you will understand of the complexity in his prose. | 1 |
Chelynne
I was extremely disappointed in this book and could hardly believe it was written by the same author as the Virgin River Series. It's a good thing I read that series first because if I had read Chelynne first, I would never have bought the Virgin River Series thinking they would have been as bad. I read for enjoyment and this is not a book that leaves the reader with a good feeling. I would certainly not classify this as a romance. There was nothing romantic about how the two main characters interacted. | 0 |
Way to long for the storyline
Once the story was set up, it seemed forever until the characters started to come together and understand each other. I love Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, but this was nothing like it. To much misunderstanding and downright hostility between the character at the beginng of the story to ever see a happy ending. | 0 |
Highly Recommended!
This is Robyn Carr's first historical fiction and it's absolutely riveting. I stayed up late reading about Chelynne and Chadwick and I just couldn't get enough. The setting of the court of Charles II also came to life, for all you history buffs out there. There's gossip, betrayal, looming war, scandals, affairs, everything you could want and more. | 1 |
First-class guitar recital
This is an excellent guitar recital by young Greek guitarist Michalis Kontaxakis.It contains works by Ponce, Clerch, Martin, Krenek, Tarrega and Khachaturian.The real treat of the album is the World Premiere Recording of Joaquin Clerch's Spring Preludes (Preludios de Primavera.)Breathtakingly beautiful.Higly recommended. | 1 |
Damaged Goods
The CD has one complete track that won't play. It makes terrible noises on track 7 of disk 1. It arrived in adequate packaging and reflects no indications of physical damage. It would appear that the disk was damaged during production or, at least, prior to packaging. If it was sold as a "second," the item description should have so stated but it did not. I am very disappointed with this supplier. | 0 |
Get Out, Get Noticed (but be quiet about it)
As writers, we spend a great deal of our time locked away in the dark, behind the bookshelves under the stairs of our cave. It is this nature of the writer's life which makes us feel comfortable, safe and secure. Plus something must be said for the behind-the-scenes world so many of us hold.But all work and no getting out and sharing isn't as profitable as it could be. So what's an introverted Gemini to do.... Did I mention indecisive?With Hope's book "The Shy Writer," there are things we the silent majority of writers can do... and feel comfortable (kinda) about doing it. None of the suggestions,ideas or activities are all that difficult or stressful, but you gotta want to do it. Once you see the reasoning behind why you are doing what you do, and what taking a few simple chances can bring, you'll be more than happy to be a not-so-shy shy writer.P.S. Reading the book in public is a good start to get we writers out there in the world around us. | 1 |
A junk bag
I'm sorry that I have only paid attention to the good reviews before I bought this product.On first time I took it shopping, one of the wheels fell off. After tightening the screw, I pulled it carefully. Unfortunately, I couldn't drag it before I went back home. I found the assemblies are made of plastic and the corner of one assembly was broken. It's irrepairable. I think it would be sturdy if the assemblies were steel!!I don't think it's a good choice for you to buy it. Don't waste your money on it. | 0 |
Cheap, means cheap
I live in a building and I needed something to haul my groceries from my car to my apartment. It's only my boyfriend and I, so not a huge grocery bill each week. I went shopping ONCE, and one of the handles broke. You can fit the equivalent of one and half paper back, that's it. Forget sodas, water, etc... maybe to buy butter, and 12 eggs... | 0 |
