Customer Review: Not as good as the last one, but...

I bought this controller to replace my old Saitek P880, the previous iteration of this controller, which finally gave out on me after four years of abuse.



For the most part this is still a good, solid controller, except for one factor - The D-pad, compared to the one on my P880, feels incredibly cheap and sometimes sticks, and did so right out of the box. The feel of the other buttons is similar or identical, but the D-pad is rather annoying for games I use it in when it triggers. Mind you, it's maybe one time out of a hundred and fifty or so, but still annoying when it happens.



For the record, I use the controller for the games Phantasy Star Universe and Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst, which are both third-person action games, and the d-pad is used only for menus. For what it's worth, if you play Phantasy Star Universe, this is the only controller I've found that actually has enough buttons for all the functions you can map to a controller, finally removing my need to still use the keyboard for certain things.



If you like controllers with six face buttons rather than the four-button layout that seems to be more common, this is a good one to get, just mind that there can be issues with the D-pad. If your game doesn't use the D-pad, then there isn't a problem I can think of.

Customer Review: Solid control but poor programming software

Overall i am pleased with this gamepad. It works great as long as the game itself has a good control setup of its own as i found the downloadable programming software to be somewhat frustrating. it really isn't very user friendly or pretty(just a minor grip). for some reason assigned buttons just randomly won't do what they are supposed to and have to be reassigned and then still might not work. it shouldn't be difficult or take this much effort to program a controller. however once setup it is very nice.

Colon Health by Dr. Norman Walker

Colon Health by Dr. Norman Walker
Colon Health by Dr. Norman Walker Features & SpecificationsColon Health by Dr. Norman Walker Book DescriptionColon Health will take this forgotten part of your body and focus your full attention on it--and you'll never again take it for granted. This book shows how every organ, gland, and cell in the body is affected by the condition of the large intestine.About the AuthorDr. Norman Walker is the longest-lived, widely-known raw-foodist of the modern era. Thousands upon thousands of people credit Dr. Walker's live-vegetable-juice therapy for healing them of "incurable" diseases, including Jay Kordich, known to the world as "The Juiceman." When Jay Kordich had cancer, he met and was tremendously inspired by Dr. Walker. After healing himself of cancer through The Raw-Food Diet and juice therapy, Jay worked with Dr. Walker beginning in the 1940s up until Dr. Walker's death in the mid-80's at an age of well over 100.For more than 100 years, Norman W. Walker, Ph.D., proved through research and experience that well-being and long life go hand-in-hand. Through the non-stop activities of raw-food enthusiasts, such as Nature's First Law, modern day nutritionists and medical researchers are finally discovering the raw truths which Dr. Walker knew and taught throughout the twentieth century. Dr. Walker was living proof that a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life is achieved through The Raw-Food Diet, mental poise, and intelligent body care. Dr. Walker's contributions to the common heritage of humankind began before the turn of the century in London, where as a young man he became seriously ill due to over-work and stress. Unable to accept a sentence of ill-health and early death, Dr. Walker healed himself with living foods and vegetable juices. Among Dr. Walker's greatest contributions was his discovery of the therapeutic value of fresh vegetable juices and in 1930, the development of what would become known as the Norwalk Press Juicer. The present "juicing" craze is direct

Easy Reader Reading Stand

Easy Reader Reading Stand
A versatile and strong book stand that positions papers or heavy books exactly where you need them. You can select from 6 angles, place your book on the sturdy platform and use the page-holder to keep the pages flat. It folds flat for storage or can be used as a legal-size clipboard with a broad writing surface.
Platform measures 14 x 9 inches

Customer Review: Great for mobile workers and readers of all kinds

I discovered the Easy Reader is a cafe in Berkeley about 15 years ago, and have used them ever since. They're fantastic. I almost never use them as a clipboard, but as a reading stand, it's indispensable. I still have my original readers, and they'veheld up very well. The elastic band that helps the two halves snap closed wears out after a while, but it's not necessary-- the reader works perfectly well without it.

Customer Review: BOOK HOLDER IS EXCELLENT

Easy Reader Reading Stand



IT EXACTLY AS YOU SAID, THIS IS ONE OF MY BEST PURCHASES. THIS PRODUCT IS VERY GOOD, AND IT PRACTICALLY ERASES THE TENSION WHICH IS A RESULT OF HOLDING A BOOK WHILE READING. I DON'T HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BOOK EDGES ANYMORE IN ORDER TO KEEP IT AT A GOOD DISTANCE FROM MY EYES, ESPECIALLY IF THE BOOK IS HEAVY OR BULKY. NOR THE PAGES REBEL ANYMORE, BECAUSE THEY ARE HELD IN PLACE BY THE ELASTIC BAND THAT COMES ATTACHED. THANK YOU!

Halo 2, Vol. 2

Halo 2, Vol. 2
Original Score Composed and Produced By Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. Album Produced by Nile Rodgers. Executive Producer Sandy Ting.

The Long Awaited Halo 2 Volume Two!!

Customer Review: Why wasn't this on the fist album?

It is curious that the Halo 2 soundtrack was broken into two separate CD's in the first place, instead of just the 4 songs from the major bands that weren't part of the game. If you are true fan and just have to have all the music, drop the 10-12 bucks (new). Otherwise, I much prefer the music from Halo I.

Customer Review: First one was better

I'm a huge fan of the first CD so bought the second... It has some great tracks but overall I thought that the first one was better.

The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream

The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
“A government that truly represents these Americans–that truly serves these Americans–will require a different kind of politics. That politics will need to reflect our lives as they are actually lived. It won’t be pre-packaged, ready to pull off the shelf. It will have to be constructed from the best of our traditions and will have to account for the darker aspects of our past. We will need to understand just how we got to this place, this land of warring factions and tribal hatreds. And we’ll need to remind ourselves, despite all our differences, just how much we share: common hopes, common dreams, a bond that will not break.”
–from The Audacity of Hope


In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Senator Obama called “the audacity of hope.”

Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics–a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces–from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media–that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment.

At the heart of this book is Senator Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats–from terrorism to pandemic–that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy–where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories about family, friends, members of the Senate, even the president, is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.

A senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature, Senator Obama has written a book of transforming power. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, he says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes–“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”

Customer Review: The audacity of hope

I loved Barack Obamas Book

I hope and pray he is our new President.

Customer Review: Its Lightwieght Fluff-A publicity piece

The previous political books I've read this year have been: "The Good Fight"-Ralph Nader and "The New American Story"-Bill Bradley. Following those two incredibly intelligent and progressive books with fluff like Obama's was disappointing to say the least.



There is very little policy or discussion in the real meat and potatoes of issues. But mostly empty feel-good-isms, pointless personal stories, and a ham fisted attempt at niceness. Its a marketing and publicity piece for his campaign and nothing more. I'll probably still vote for him, in the knowledge that the cabinet and administration a president chooses gives the office its true power. But as it stands from everything I've read by him or heard him say; he's a lightweight.



If you are looking for a book with true substance, with a serious and workable outline for change, with full details on how to accomplish it and finance it, try "The New American Story" by Bill Bradley. It has answers and workable solutions to what the nation is facing. Audacity of Hope answered no questions and made no workable solutions. I was VERY disappointed.

Customer Review: Great Gift Idea

Customer Review: not good for bindings

I bought this clear cookbook holder to replace a similar one that broke after years of daily use. This new one really squashes down the pages and it is very difficult to use for thicker cookbooks. I'm worried that it will eventually lead to unnecessary wear and tear on the bindings.
