Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover, .338-Ounce Sticks (Pack of 6) by Tide	10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Absolutely amazing. You have to try it to believe it!!!, October 3, 2006 I am a skeptic by nature. As someone with a degree in business I expect marketers to stretch the truth, at a minimum. I purchased this product thinking if it didn't work it was only few dollars. The guys at work were as skeptical as I was until the first coffee spill. This little pen even removed a coffee stain that was 4 hours old. We were all absolutely amazed! I have used this product on the following stains and it removed them completely: 1. fresh coffee stain 2. 4 hour old coffee stain 3. balsamic vinegar 4. make up (foundation) 5. marinara sauce 6. olive oil 7. soy sauce If you or your significant other… Read more

Culinary Boot Camp: Five Days of Basic Training at The Culinary Institute of America by Martha Rose Shulman	51 of 52 people found the following review helpful: Interesting if you are thinking about attending the CIA bootcamp, otherwise .... just okay, September 6, 2006 A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years, writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". With more than 500 cookbooks in my collection I am usually disappointed in my recent cookbook acquisitions. I purchased this book to see what the Culinary boot camp at the CIA was all about since I was thinking of taking the course. I am glad that I bought the book and didn't spend thousands on the course. If you are considering the boot camp at Hyde Park the book is informative. However, the book did not encourage… Read more

	1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Professional Looking results and easy to use, September 3, 2006 The name of this color is a little deceptive. My natural hair color is a deep dark brown and this color is almost exactly the same color as my natural color. I have dark brown eyes and olive skin and this color is beautiful with my complexion. If you are looking for something that is richer and more varied than the typical one shade color or you are tired of spending a fortune in the salon I would recommend giving this product a try. I have summarized my feeling about the product below: Pros: 1. Rich and varied color due to the highlighting process 2. Easy application 3. Enough product for very long hair (approximately 2 feet) 4… Read more
