Review title: Not perfect, but excellent for my purposes Product review: This timer excels in a couple areas:- since it has a numeric keypad, you just type in the time you want, and then press <Enter>. Very easy.- When the time is up, it beeps persistently like an alarm clock for 30 seconds. After that, it beeps once every 10 seconds until you cancel it. Basically you WILL have to walk over and cancel this thing eventually or it will drive you crazy. This persistence can be a godsend or an annoyance depending on what you are timing and what you are doing when the time expires.- It also shows how much "extra" time has accumulated - in other words, how much time has passed in addition to the time you had originally set. This can sometimes be very helpful.Weaknesses:- The keys are rather small and require more concentration to press than I would like.- The display is also small and is not lit, so you have to walk right up to it to see how much time is left.Overall, it is a pretty good unit & I would buy it again.

Review title: I just don't get it Product review: Either I am really missing the point or I have too much music education, because I just don't understand why Bolin is so highly regarded. This CD is a prime example of Bolin's typical boring, cliched, pablum. There are so many other musicians who say more with one note than Bolin ever said in his entire career.I have listened to a lot of Bolin's music, trying to find something of interest. The only CD that comes close is Spectrum by Billy Cobham; however none of the others that I have, including James Gang, Deep Purple, Alphonse Mouzon (talk about boring!), and various solo efforts, ever get played.Don't waste your time on this overrated drug addict; spend your time much more profitably with Jeff Beck, Holdsworth, Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Beethoven, Mozart, Coltrane, or many others of similar calibre. Bolin just doesn't measure up.

Q: You are considering whether to buy a product. You look at the reviews. Would the following review decrease or increase the chances of you buying the product? Review title: Not the quality I expected Product review: Each bag has three sachets: one in chiffon that you can use to insert in the bathtub and two refills. There is a mix of soap and plants in every sachets. Soap gets mushy and there's just not enough plants for a bathtub. It is not easy to clean the chiffon sachet and put the refills in it. Bottom line: While when I purchased the product I thought this is a great idea for the price, I find the combination of soap and chamomile unfortunate, the whole setup is not easy to use and in the end it is not worth the price.

Review title: touching Product review: It's easy to overlook writing flaws when a story like this is so good. I can't knock this book in any way. It was a well thought out story with an unpredictable ending. I would tell you in advance that the story jumps back and forth from present time to WW2 quite often so be prepared. Some of the time the authors transitions weren't done that well and a few more narrative set ups would have been nice but I was never lost except in the comfort of the story. I would recommend and I personally look forward to reading his second book whenever it comes out. He has a lot of potential.

Product review: I absolutely LOVE the idea of this book, but it left me a bit disappointed. Out of 101 ideas, I only found four or five that I might want to try, which also may just be my personal taste. A couple things bothered me about the book. Some of the stuff just looked cheap and icky. Also, some of the ideas were repeated over and OVER throughout the book but on different items, like a tray a lamp a box, etc. It's all really the same idea, so why does it count for more than one? Just something that disappointed me.
