The story takes place at mainly Sophie's house but there is also other places to like Murphy's house the Art Museum. The plot of the story is that Sophie has been really interested in boys so first she went out with Dylan and then it was Chaz and now its Murphy and all this time her mom doesn't know that she has been going out with any of them. The point of view is first person because she is referring to her self as I. Then the theme of the story is that keeping things from your parents isn't always the right thing to do even though it might seem like it. The conflict is what Sophie's mom doesn't know about her.,16150 1,BBC Classic Mystery Series,"This is a well produced and acted British murder series which illistrates the class differences still in existence today in modern England.

Our professor did mention some new tests and enzymes that Segel didn't mention in his book because of time, but reading Segel's book makes sense in topics that just stumped me.I felt that Segel's book provides a lot of examples, not just a formula, an example, and then the next topic. For example, during the acid base chemistry in the beginning, the book covers all realms of a topic, all possible scenarios of pKas and pKbs. He talks in-depth on Henderson-Hasselbalch and goes deep into buffer solutions, how to calculate change in pH and it's affect in different solutions.I was scared of biochem because everyone kept saying it was hard and tough to memorize a lot, but it really isn't that hard. Following this book and doing the problems out of it are a big advantage to any biochem class you plan on taking.",20799 1,Best clippers I've ever owned,I've owned several clipper sets that cost between 10 and 40 dollars.

Peabody is a nosy, verbose, upper class English Egyptologist famous for solving mysteries. I found the writing to be somewhat tedious and long winded. You'll have to suffer until page 125 for any sort of action to begin. I think only the true history lover can appreciate this novel, for most of the characters are either named after Egyptian gods or pharaohs. If this is the best novel Peters has to offer I dread to think of what her others may be like. This is a fairly quick read, really only a skim if there is absolutely nothing else at home on offer.

It does contain overviews of topography and early settlement that are somewhat useful. But Campbell, although he clearly tries not to be condescending, doesn't succeed. He's a missionary, and his purpose is to bring ""modern civilization"" to an underprivileged region. In discussing how he wants to do this, he never really comes to grips with the unique cultural heritage of the people he's talking about and the ways in which modernization -- his version of which is a sort of clean-cut, upright, Protestant Capitalist dystopia -- would endanger that.

Out of 315 pages, about 200 plus are devoted to Kay and all her troubled relationships, and less than 100 to the ""loup garou"". The ending is so predictable and perfunctory, I had to force myself to read the last 15 pages. For those of you who like to read suspense novels featuring a continuous character, I recommend John Sandford or Dennis Lehayne. They both are still putting the suspense aspect of their novels first, instead of dwelling on the histrionics of annoying characters, like Ms. Cornwell.

Just watching the demonstrations makes you feel like you can do whatever she can, but the intricacies of the choreography don't leave you bored too quickly. The drills are quick enough to do a few daily and the menu makes it easy to customize your learning process. The dvd is professional, simple, and well laid out.

I think it started well, but she tries to by funny and that doesn't work. She is no Lemony Snicket, my friends. Also...the fairy godmother thing? Come on...that was just...ridiculous. All in all, the story is just too cheesy for me. The last page could've been great! But it lost its magic with the line ""I didn't make this up.""

The premise of understanding cultural biases is good, however, the authors fail to present anything other than a superficial, stereotypical analysis of cultural biases in counseling.",13327 1,Great Mic as come to be expected from sure,The H6 is very impressive in range and performance and has multiple channels. the only thing i dont like is there is no volume control on the base station.

How many times are movies going to exploit great tragedies...? The only good part about this movie is that Leo dies.

I read a previous review stating that it drinks up ink and you can see that when your photo is printed. It left big ink spots on the photo that did not disappear when it dried. It's exactly as it would be if I put poster board in my printer, minus the slight shine. I take my own pictures of my son instead of taking him in and I am a huge scrapbooking fan, hence the reason I bought matte paper; it looks nicer behind a frame and doesn't get the same glare off of it and it looks a little more professional.

I don't expect the non-replaceable battery to last any longer than it did on my last two DustBusters, but I'm not sure there's anything out there that is better. The pull-out nozzle seems slightly more convenient than one that separately attaches, but it's wider than the old one so it won't get into as tiny crevices.

Germans are portrayed in this film as uniformly bad, which was typical of wartime films.American ""GIs"" are also stereotypical.

Want to wake up to a nice, soft alarm an hour before your wife needs to? Fine. Just don't try to turn it off, though, because doing so will wake the household with the alarm-cancel beep.

For example, I noticed that the French version had better visual quality than the English version, like during the intro, when the title ""The Shadow"" appears. I think this DVD is a direct-from-VHS copy. Not the best of all methods!The features are quite limited. It is not even widescreen.

Released in 1980, just after Three Imaginary Boys and Boys Don't Cry, one could argue that this is the first true Cure album. Its haunting melodies, eerie vocals and intense introspection were a sharp departure from the scattered and idiosyncratic punk/pop sound of the previous albums, and lay a firm foundation for the next two albums, Faith and Pornography.The only real single from the album is ""A Forest."" A terrific song, whose heart-beat bass line finale has become a tradition at every Cure concert.

The title track is not the ""Sign of the Times"" made by that Roger Nelson guy, but nevermind that.

Nita has captured the essence of the Cathars mystique with her own time travels of switching from present to past portals of experiences. I am ordering her second book to see if she does indeed walk between the veils of the imaginaire and speak their truth for us all. One would question if there is a global awakening occurring with such fascination in the obscure heretical Gnostics called the Cathars. Why I am saying this is another author, Barbara Burritt wrote her own personal saga of past-life recall from this same chapter of mystical power and agonizing persecution.

Almost total Disappointment.,2887 1,Absolutely Evil,"This movie has the feel of a kind of corporate hell. It's not just the demonic Chad and his high testosterone levels, mysogeny, and ""Dangerous Liaisons"" attitude toward amusement at the office. Howard, the ""almost"" good guy with the decency to feel guilty about his participation in Chad's scheme to break a co-worker's heart, is so pathetic in his own way that he too seems right at home in this version of hell. Visually, the office is dim, artificially lit, windowless, occasionally cave-like, contributing to the general sense of petty, officey evil.Without giving away the end, I can only say that I loved the movie for its seeming indifference, its refusal to sympathesize, and the slightly stunned, ""wow"" kind of feeling that it left me with. It's an exploration of human nature along the lines of De Sade, and leaves you wondering about the strong and weak, and the relative value of virtue in corporate America.",46502 0,Buy the individual stories instead. . . .,"I absolutely LOVE the Moles Sisters series.

The jedi modes are also fun. If you get boared of keep getting points to unlock jedis, then just go to Mos Eisly Assualt. That levels awesome. The graphics are good but the character models are bad looking. The sound is incredible. The sound of blasters, lightsabers, voiceacting, and music help bring the Star Wars feel to life.

The game is totally challenging, especially the final level where you take on all the bosses you've faced in the previous levels. Of course you take them on individually, but they are still challenging and you don't get any helth ups. You get power ups and such, but all-in-all it is a challenging game.

The story line was not advanced in this piece except to kill off a few more characters.

Let's face it: most, if not all of us, hate boring books with pedestrian plots. This novel grabs the reader's curiosity, due to the thrilling events in the story. Next, there is the despicable villian (essential in every good book!), Lord Voldemort. Finally, there is a suspenseful ending and an important lesson to be learned (of course, I will not disclose either one)!

There are no surviving Druid religious texts. I would tend to suspect that they all burned when the Romans invaded Mona, the island that was the center of Druidism. So Ross utilizes secular ancient Gaelic texts which she can read because she is a Gaelic speaker and a scholar of ancient Gaelic. She also read all the standard Roman texts and gives them more cognizance than many modern scholars do. She made the interesting choice of interviewing contemporary Gaelic speakers about folk material and found some ancient survivals.Ross has a provocative theory about Saint Columba having been trained as a Druid before he became a Christian.

I understand that it is not a recruiters guide to joining the legion but how can anyone take this organization seriously? The Marines and SEALS used unpleasant discipline as needed but we did not experience any deserters that I recall. If this behavior and treatment are accurate, they must have the lowest readiness, training, and morale percentages of any third world thug squad. I was disappointed with the book and its depiction of the legion. I expected to leave with a more positive perception of them. At least with the amount of drukenness, lack of deployability, and horrible small unit leadership; the legion cannot be taken even remotely seriously as a military force.

You can make the toning segments more intense by using heavier weights. The workout ends with some ab work and about 16 or so straight-legged push-ups (sorry, I don't remember exactly how many, but I could do them all military style, so that tells me it could NOT have been more than 24 since that is my limit!).Overall, a solid and fun workout - 4 stars.

Some things were changed I wished they hadn'tbut overall I guess given the budget and all that it was still pretty good. I think the characters were well cast except something about Kristen playing Bella is just off, not right. Bella is suppose to be a klutz, but very smart, and I think she comes off more as mentally slow rather than uncoordinated. She may have chemistry with Edward (Rob) but I think her acting skills are below the standard of the other actors and that drags the movie down.

There are a few sentences of particularly lyrical writing, but the main impression is ""And the point is?"" The narrative is practically non-existent (not always a hindrance, but it is in this book). The characters are boring, except for the wife of Septimus, the man mentioned above - she is not given the room she is due.

The rich wealth of information is the consistent strength of this series that makes it a bit overwhelming for the casual reader looking for a narrative history of U.S. carrier.The emphaisis here is on ship design, its impact on operations and little else. If there is any shortcoming to be found within the book, it is that it is rather old, having been last updated in 1983, when the Nimitz class was just hitting its stride and long before the design innovations fueled by the Navy's growth in the waning years of the Cold War.",13515 1,TDK LightScribe Media,"I've been using LightScribe discs for a few years now and have found them all to be about the same.

I was astonished to see how good both Friel and Wiliams were able to play the same characters in different stages of their lives. I especially enjoyed Michelle Wiliams performance (I admit, I already liked her a lot before I saw this movie), I never imagined she could be that good and convincing (and with a quiet Brit-accent in her voice).Unfortunately this movie isn't out on sale in Europe yet (...hopefully yet).Cheers,FB.",18706 1,Is Donna Jean off key again?,"Once more Donna is not positoned right.

The record didn't need us.""I couldn't agree more. This album lacks the jam sessions and creative stick/sax/violin work that the band is known for. It's basically just an overpowering Dave Matthews on electric guitar. Over the last couple of years I have desperately tried to like this album, but to no avail. There are, however, a couple of exceptions. ""When the World Ends"" is a real cool song, and if it hadn't been for 9/11 would have been a big radio hit. The title track ""Everyday"" is a knock-off of #36, otherwise known as ""Honey, Honey"" (or for the diehard fan, the song was originally ""Hani, Hani"").

Then we could make a bigger investment into a more expensive model if it was something we decided we really wanted to do regularly. This model worked great for about two months then it started shutting off after about an hour of running. We would turn the switch off and let it cool down. Then after an hour of cool down we were able to turn it back on. Then an hour later it would shut off again. Needless to say that produces a very poor quality of dried vegetables and I wouldn't even dare try using it for meat at this point.

It is no wonder that the creator of Batman was influenced by Johnston McCulley's Zorro. My one disappointment was that this book had to end.

I didn't think it was noisy and it's acutally quieter than my old Krups. I would say overall I'm pretty satisfied and I like being able to choose my coffee by the cup. Oh, using bottle water easily improves the taste of your cup and (I hope) will give me longer times between descaling. I'll be buying a box of Coffee People k-cups next month to try them out.

It is full of factually incorrect assertions woven together into a distorted picture of the most influential and complex theater worker of the twentieth century. There is a total absence of critical perception or analysis, and for someone who claims to have been working so long in the field, Fuegi betrays a remarkable lack of insight into the dynamics of theater production. He pays lip-service to what he seems to believe are feminist principles, but underneath them, he shows great disregard for the opinions and achievements of the remarkable women who worked with Brecht throughout his life. Fuegi seems to have learned nothing from Brecht;his writing is plodding and turgid - all the more so in the context of Brecht's own sharpness and economy of language.

It begins to deviate somewhat from th basic premise the show was founded on) But despite any chages, it follows still in the grand tradition of Red Dwarf, delivering dense, side-splitting humor, right until the last moment.",7347 1,AWESOME CD!!!

I still feel the idea behind the story and its setting have the potential to make a great book but ultimately Ms. Gruen does not deliver on that potential. I was especially disappointed by the way the Kinko/Walter character changes his attitude towards Jacob seemingly overnight, the way it is written Walter's behaviour just doesn't ring true. The ""love affair"" between Marlena and Jacob is also disappointing, there are several scenes where a good writer would really be able to make you feel the internal conflicts the two characters obviously must be experiencing given their situation but again Ms. Gruen's prose just left me feeling flat.",14605 1,"Excellent Information, So-So Presentation","Greg Palast is the well-known investigative journalist for the UK Guardian.

Still his voice his very good, it's a little drawback from the unknown. But still a lot to enjoy. The instrumental parts and the vocals are very much hard rock for most of the album.Although it doesn't improve anything over The Unknown, something very important happened. The production is Kicking. At last we don't get that clear mastering the first tree elegy as long as the unknown had.The rest of the ensemble is good.Buy it if you already got The Unknown.

There is a little bloodshed for the Fangoria hounds here, but most of the violence is off screen, left to the dark pits of imagination. Christian Bale gives a career making performance, making Patrick Bateman a ridiculous blend of Casey Casem and any masked axe wielding killer you could think of.

Too many stock characters (the dashing photographer, the take-no-prisoners editor, the perfectly pressed art dealer, the starry-eyed first-time-in-Paris ingenue).

This book even has the movie's screenplay. I really enjoyed the concept sketches, which show how original ideas changed to create the final product. For instance, a sketch of Zeniba and Yubaba shows how much Zeniba's design changed - she looks more normally proportioned than her sister. Later in the book, there is an explanation for why the change in Zeniba's design occurred.

The story whose impact lingers longest is ""Powers"" which is too big in all ways to try and summarize. Read it, and be moved by writing that seems beyond storytelling, that feels like Truth Itself.

On the one hand, he yells about the alleged predominance of homosexuals in the clergy and in the seminaries. But that sounds too homophobic. So he then rants that the Church isn't homosexual enough.

Heyer always has great plotting, but in this case, it is an especially good romp. Some may feel disappointed that the romantic resolution that we all look forward to, is not the absolute final step in the book. Again, surprisingly, she makes it work wonderfully. As I move through her stories, this one, Venetia, The Nonesuch, The Masqueraders, These Old Shades and Devil's Cub are my favorites.

History is rewritten to suit our modern sensibilities - Jodha was neither Akbar's only wife nor a skilled swordswoman who loved cooking and caligraphy, Akbar was not an athletic and handsome ruler with a democratic heart, and the existence of his evil, politically powerful wet nurse is yet to be documented. With its veneer of authenticity, well-chosen songs, lavish costumes, and numerous reenacted battles, the movie succeeds in recreating the golden age of Mughal rule in Northern India.

The brief amount I heard on NPR made me feel I was going to learn about Hawaiian culture and maybe hear stories. This book was written in the time-honored tradition of one American explaining why other Americans should feel bad about being American. Not that she is wrong or has any of her facts misplaced. But Susanna has written a disjointed, self-serving, whining account of Hawai'i. Maybe she is lamenting the loss of a childhood that she may or may not have ever had. But each chapter is kind of summed up the same way: the noble Hawai'ian, raped literally or figuratively by the Westerner in the name of progress or profit.

The author seems unaware of many developments in the behavioral, economic and social sciences during the last thirty years, and attempts overcome these shortcomings by declaring his ""new"" managerial strategies by declaring them to be ""postmodern."" It would be interesting to know what Wallace makes of the post-internet economic collapse that he believed would make us all happy, well paid laborers.

The martial arts used is standard Tae Kwon Do (mostly kicks; mostly for competition). So basically the fighting is completely unrealistic (when's the last time you saw someone throw a kick after the first 5 seconds of a fight?).This unrealistic fighting wouldn't be as bad for your suspension of disbelief if it wasn't for the ... plot and acting.

Her character meets a tragic end at the hand of an English soldier. This only fuels Wallace's conquest further. What really makes this film great is wonderful actors like Gibson and Marceau.

I don't object the time adaptation per se, but this one does not enhance this masterpiece, on the contrary it takes away the essence of it, it makes following the plot and sensing the music difficult.

I was quite shocked to learn that a prisoner hierarchy system existed at the camp, and that knowing the right combination of certain inmates could help increase one's likelihood of survival.

I just think it really was a waste of two hours when I could have watched something far more appealing. Although Caligula was insane by all means it was just a bit much going on and on and none of the other characters had a chance to progress in the movie it was all about him and no one else.

The other day I was forced to hold a super hot pan for well over a minute and although my hands did get warm, they were nowhere near being so hot that I couldn't have kept holding it. Just a few days before we received these I was racing to put down a casserole that I had been holding for about five seconds with our regular holders. Not anymore.

WORTH THE WAIT!,"It's been over 4 years since Ace of Base released their last full length album of new material.... and it's been an extremely long 4 years! They FINALLY return to show the world that they are stronger and better than ever. While the songs may not be as deep as the tracks on ""The Bridge"" they definitely show a new side of themselves and continue to impress me. It's the best pop album i've heard in a very long time, straight up, fun, catchy, tunes. Ace of Base fans will not be disapointed and those of you looking for a great pop album thats not fake or fabricated should definitely check out this talented and dedicated group and their latest release! DA CAPO!

My favorite creature was the defiant kakapo, whose determination is seemingly intended for the bird not to survive, with its finicky eating and mating habits. Adams and Carwardine do a splendid job describing the countries they visit as well as the animals. Anyone who has traveled to third-world countries will recognize the inconsistent border guards and troubled flight schedules, currency problems and badly-behaving tourists. As the troupe travels around the world, the reader is treated to a first hand glance of the experience as well an in-depth description of the endangered species and their particular habits.",42262 1,Top five Shaw brother Kung Fu bloodbath,"You may not wanna watch this one with your little brother.

My intention was to provide advanced warning at night if someone approached the house. We have a full alarm system but the internal motion detectors are purposely turned when we are in the house and these units were intended to augment that protection.Both motion detectors work well and ring in on both receivers. The volume is such that only one receiver is necessary. During the day, I do get some false alarms from the back unit due to where I have it located. Occasionally I have to turn off the receiver to keep the number of false alarms to a minimum.My units are not directly susceptible to the elements. They are under cover.Good, solid product.",9497 0,Brutal?

I happen to disagree with this common conception that Japanese hold about these two girls,...At least Backstreet Boys can dance. This is a big money Japanese crappy label project and you'll buy this record and regret it in 24 months,....When you won't even be able to give 'em away....It's already happened here in Japan.

The designs are all copy right free. The only complaint I have is that some of the designs are printed very small and it can be quite difficult to enlarge it to the right size.

Battery life if my one and only complaint, you don't get anywhere near the life that Apple claims. I bought a Griffin TuneJuice to solve that problem. I'm not crazy about how iTunes updates content on the iPod, but I've learned to work around that. It's hard to compare this device to anything else on the market because it has few if any competitors, but the only thing that would make it better would be the ability to buy or download DVD movies onto the iPod. I purchased the Cucusoft DVD to iPod converter software, and it works very well. I now have about 6 movies and several SNL classic skits and some Seinfeld episodes on the iPod. I'm not sure how Apple is going to top this device.",14586 1,"If you plant rice, rice will grow, if you plant fear, fear will grow."",","It was never the fight scenes that made me like this show, it was the attitude and philosophy of the leading character. Whilst most seventies TV and movies were all about violence and revenge this show shone like a beacon of hope, forgiveness and restraint. It certainly was ahead of it's time in those aspects.It influenced me so much I even went to Aikido classes for a few years with my friends, (I know it was Kung Fu but there was none in my area.)A TV show with a worthy message is more rare then hen's teeth, I watched it avidly during it's original run and became addicted to it's hopeful message, if you haven't seen it give it a try, I think you will too.Now snatch the stones, walk the rice paper and go in peace grasshopper.",35369 1,I like this book,I like this book because I am seriously into Egyptian theories. I couldn't give it a five star though because it is difficult reading and I believe only for the very serious reader. I equate it to our Christian Bible.

This album is a good way of doing so.Only... it seems there is not much to his other stuff. Asia can't do without Wetton, and Wetton doesn't seem to do without Asia. The Asia songs on this album miss the power and the rock soul of the original versions.So unless you like quiet live pop - Wetton IS a good singer - buy one of the first three Asia albums instead.",30805 1,My sister loves it,I bought this product for my sister last Christmas as she is an avid reader.

One mistake I made was to not take my own SD card to the camera shop and look at the output. I thought the blurry image I was seeing at the camera store was because of the low resolution screen but it really is the camera. I've missed too many pictures of my kids and am in the process of buying a new camera a short 2 months after buying this.Casio support was responsive and tried to help but nothing appears to work. And point and shoot is definately not an option. I thought it would be nice to take quick pictures of the kids but none of them are worth keeping.

With each new album, THird Eye Blind seems to more and more exactly portray their emotions, and in addition, the emotions of their listeners. Before this album came out, I knew of five of the songs. I had heard Blinded, Faster, Crystal Baller, and Wake for Young SOUls, and Forget Myself. I immediately fell in love with those five songs, and after i heard the rest of the album, the same affect took hold on me. Out of the Vein is pure genius, and the result of years of work. To miss out on this album with its lyrical beauty and musical complexity would be missing out on a turning point in musical history.

Griffin's Star Commandos,"I thoroughly enjoyed this, the tenth volume of Ms. Griffin's Star Commandos series. Once again, her gift of storytelling shines in her description of her characters, fast-paced action, and just enough background to enhance the tale. From the first paragraph, a reader feels as if he or she is there, watching the events as they occur, sharing the risks and the triumphs of the Star Commando team as they complete their mission. I could not lay the book aside until the last page had been read.

This book is what I consider as junior fantasy. It ranks on par with David Eddings and all of the Dragonlance books. Decent story, decent writing, but the depth just isn't there. There is very little character development, the plot is more or less predictable, and there's little original about the themes. One of my rules of thumb is that if I ever hear an adult raving about this book or any of Eddings' or Weiss/Hickman's works, I can be pretty sure that they really aren't that experienced in the world of fantasy fiction. 1000+ cheering reviews for this book shouldn't fool anyone but junior high kids.",30418 1,Nice radio,"I saw other reviews about the radio losing signal, I purchased the radio anyway.

Plus, if you can't get to the store to buy the refills, just use a regular garbage bag (with odour shield!) and they work great too! So much cheaper to use than the DG, and much more sanitary...no shoving the diaper in and twisting, just use your foot pedal to lift the lid and then drop the diaper through the top.

This means that whenever code is written that you have 2 people working on the same computer to write code. My first thought was that this would slow down the process, but Kent explains that it does not actually slow down the process, and it actually speeds things up.This book contains many radical ideas that would really change the development process. For instance Kent explains that its better to meet the requirements as they exist at the end of the project, rather than the requirements that have been set at the begining of the project.In a day time when progress is measured in ""internet time"" and requirements are constantly changing, Extreme Programming provides some usefull ideas.",7246 1,Fixin' To Be Texan,"Enjoyed reading this humorous manual of how to become a Texan.

The other songs also add some great lyrics to think about such as the line in ""Ahora Que Te Vas"" where she says she will dream in black and white if he leaves or how he's left her no option but to tear off her skin and bear the pain in ""Para No Decirte Adios.""

Innovative is the word that comes to mind. The acoustic thing has been done, but the use of the horns and organ, mixed with the rousing reworkings of the material, make this album a joy to listen too. It is different from what most artists are doing today. Instead of doing the whole bluegrass thing, which has been done a lot recently, Springsteen mixes the style of each track, incorperating them into ""gutter music.""

I'll take a modern spy author any day. True, the plot moves steadily forward, the characters are fascinating and well-drawn, and the descriptions of pre-war Central Europe are delicious. But the book seems to move like a train -- you get on, you look out the window at the passing landscape, and then you get off. There was little if any excitement; the suspense was tepid; the plot turned on convenient contrivances aimed only at enabling the author to keep the book moving.

For one it seems to have to go through some kind of obscure primitive ritual when you hit the print button. It does this crazy back an forth dance for about 15 secs before finally sucumbing to your will and print what you requested. The biggest issue I have with this printer is that if it sits without printing for more than a day the inkjets clog and you have to sit through at least two head cleaning sessions to get the thing to print clearly.

The dialouge between the characters is unrealistic. Every comment by each character seems to be either part of some philosophical debate, usually pretentious or downright silly, or contains a reference to some historical or literary figure. It sounds like the characters are a bunch of professors, each trying to sound more intelligent than the other. Also, the comparisons of chess to life drone on endlessly.

Do you even keep your draft picks, or trade them away for the established star? Do you raise ticket prices (and potentially alienate your fan base)?

What was disapointing was that they did not show how Ichigo was able to reach ""Bankai"".The scene in which Ichigo takes out four squad lieutenants bare-handle was great. The real surprise is the identity of the ""traitor"" in the Soul Society to learn that a character with whom I thought was a noble personis an accomplice to the conspiracy. All in all ""The Rescue"" did not bog down like spots during Season 2.Great series all in all.",17451 1,Helpful for patients and doctors!,"I heard the author speak recently at a conference and highly recommend this book to patients, their doctors, family and friends.

Over the years I have eagerly watched every filmed version as they appeared. I previously thought the Orson Welles version was the worst, but I changed my mind once I saw this. The BEST film of Jane Eyre is the Susannah York/George C. Scott version, done in the early 1970's for Hallmark Hall of Fame. Wonderful in every way!! Unfortunately, not available yet on video. AVOID this version from A&E, it is truly terrible. Ciaran Hinds plays Mr. Rochester as a loud, bullying, scenery-chewing lout, and I have seldom seen a shallower, more pallid performance as Jane.

I love Misery, my favorite song on the album, unlike punk operah, ""American Idiot,"" it tells short skimpy stories about a couple of people who got some serious problems, complemented by great vocals and a beat you can't help but tap your feet to.

I was convinced that there should be a way to get the $/cup coffeehouse taste at home. I did the research and landed on Melitta.I love this pot. I've been using it for about a month. Morning coffee has become more of a treat rather than a bitter dose of caffeine. I enjoy an afternoon pot on the weekend. The aroma is wonderful. Using filtered water, I haven't made a bad pot yet.One thing to point out-the grind feature is easily over-ridden and you can use your plain old grocery store ""ground in the can"" brand. It tastes a lot like premium with this gem.The thing was simple and instinctive to use right out of the box. I enjoy not using paper filters. Simply put, Melitta Mill and Brew is a professional quality pot and can make a coffee house style cup of coffee for pennies rather than dollars.",23023 1,Genuine and Inspiring,"Jason & deMarco are just so genuine and inspiring in their relationship with God, and eachother. This album has quickly become one of my favorites. Without question the stand out tracks are This Is Love, and Where the Sun Meets the Sea. Other strong tracks are Just In Time, and Missing You. The rest of the album is very strong vocally. ""Be The Light"" is uplifting and spiritual. The weakest track on the album is probably ""Stormy Weather"" with it's quirky ""you are my sunshine"" lyric. However if you are an Erasure fan you might actually like that one. All in all, the album exceeded my expectations.",42316 0,Do NOT Buy This Book,"I wanted to give this book zero stars but amazon wouldn't let me. This book is junk, don't waste your money.

The wheel was flat on arrival, unfortunately we kept it and by the time I went to use it in the spring, it was flat again. It was too bad for us, and too late. I recommend sending back flat wheels as they are usually defective if they arrive like this. It rusted out the first summer of using it in my small gardens and this was not ""industrial use"" by anyones measurement. I don't feel this was a good value at all.

As I removed the flimsy material, I first thought that maybe this was a protective backing for the actual liner and that the seller had left out the actual liner! But, no. The flimsy parchment-paper like material IS the liner. The way it was packaged is keeping it from staying flat in the bottom of the oven.

I thought the characters could have been fleshed out a little more.

I haven't been disappointed with the recipes in this book so far. I especially like a chicken and wild rice stew that uses brown rice. My kids like the food, so I can't complain. This cookbook is definitely more old-fashioned American cooking rather than packed with dishes from other cultures and regions, but that was really what I wanted. Simple recipes that my kids won't frown at. For those who are looking for a book with recipes that take long enough so they can put in a full day's work and still make something in the crock, this book will satisfy your needs.

They have been dropped, slept with, batted at by our cat, and still look like we just got them. They are wood, one piece, have a non-toxic stain, and rounded edges.

I totally recommend this game, even if you aren't a big fan of racing games. This one is definately worth it with the new features. It has been made much easier to get boost, making this game even more intense than the original. Slightly glitchy sometimes, but it EASILY makes up for it. If i could, I would give this game 10 stars, for it is the best racing game I have ever played. The crash mode makes this game a HIT when friends are over, and you will love it to death.

Yet the same problem has again occured, this time only after a few weeks of use.

Sanford is a very talented writer, but by the time i reached the left-field climax, I truly couldn't care who did it and who lives or dies -- I just wanted it to end. The reader practically needs one of those connect-the-characters charts that Davenport used to hang on his wall to follow a case, yet your patience and close attention is never rewarded.

An interest in theater certainly adds to the pleasure of watching this show, but the acting, the writing and the direction raise it head and shoulders above so much other programming. It has a delightful blend of humor and drama, with convincing and engaging characters galore. Each season a new romance bloomed among the young actors, while the older actors lived out the, well, drama of their own lives.

The plot is about two rival scientists set out for the Lost World and find it threatened with destruction by sinister oil prospectors. If you liked, or didn't liked, or even hated the Lost World or any movies about dinosaurs, you will no matter love this one!

For example, Wert points out that the timing involved in Longstreet's leaving the Union Army and joining the Confederates shows that it could be considered ""dishonorable"".

These events appear to be quite probable, but not on top of all of the other adventures the author recounts, one on top of the other. All of her experiences occurred between the ages of 10-13, and are all conveyed with positively no emotion. She is also a model of startling forgiveness.

The Dalai Lama, an immortal of a different variety, recognizes Duncan in the present, as someone he spent much time with in a past life.

This book is a hodgepodge of random ""wisdom"" that uses a few statistics or economic data and then generalizes in a vague way that seems to imply that the ""ideas"" (stretching the term) they present are meaningful or interesting. It seems like trivial pursuit for economics and once again reinforces my low opinion of academic economics. Really an insultingly stupid book.

I've experimented and used two to three times more and got poor results. In fact, I would say it hurt my double edge shave performance. But when I used a few drops, it did the job and didn't clog the razor blade.Yes, it's pricey and you probably can concoct some similar version using drug store products. To me, time is money.

Unfortunately, it has a pretty poor paint job. His face is missing some of the silver markings that should have been painted, and the ""missile launchers"" are solid yellow instead of the translucent purple that are shown on the package. Also, the windows are painted instead of being made of translucent plastic like on the Alternators. The legs of the robot are awkward and hard to pose, and I had a hard time on the very first transformation sequence, where you push a button to fold down the front of the car. I was afraid I would break it, but you have to push the button very hard to get it to work.

This system is very easy to setup, the wires and notches with the speakers are usually flimsy in home theater systems, with this product I was very pleased with the ease of installation. This is not the highest possible quality of sound, but very close, I personally cannot notice any sort of buzzing or vibrations that can be normally associated with cheap speakers. The subwoofer is rich and sturdy, not to mention easy to move. The speakers, even though small, are very durable and produce rich sound for there size. I use these (in addition to the 360) with my television and a/v equipment. As far as I can tell, it can support up to 4 components.

Expecting a person to reach those notes would be expecting too much. Can't reach high notes? Fine. Don't have Mariah's astounding vocal flexibility? Fine. But I think some intense vocal sessions would come in handy. Actually, judging from the artificial quality of this singer's voice, we can conclude that the unnatural and synthesized sound is the product of too many singing lessons. I think this very poor performance is the peak of this singer's vocal prowess. Just comes to show that some people are born with talent, while others, no matter how much money they spend on vocal coaches, will never compare.",24704 1,Love the Movie,I think the company was fantastic to get it to us so quick.

Winnicott is writing for a very select group of people: other psychoanalysts.Nowadays, the majority of people in our society consider Freud to be a joke. While Winnicott does not agree with Freud about everything, he's Freudian enough for me to have trouble taking him seriously. His work seems old and outdated.Winnicott writes his theory in a way which makes it sound complex and important. In actuality, it is extremely simple and could be summed up in a few sentences.

Far from being a comprehensive work on Japanese weapons, the weapons covered are extremely limited. Cunningham seems to have only covered weapons contained in 'the author's personal collection'.

As a long-time resident of Japan and martial arts practitioner, however, I found the book rather shallow and lacking insider's insight. I had trouble understanding why some of the sections, such as the recounting of the well-known story of the 47 Ronin had anything to do with 'secret weapons of jujutsu'. Some of the illustrations also puzzled me, not seeming relevant to the text.My conclusion; If you know nothing about Japan and its martial history, maybe it's an interesting read.

Not normal noises, but weird dripping chocolate noises. The music is annoying and repeats constantly.Gameplay- This game is based around a big factory, with chocolate oozing and more. It is like one big puzzle. Unlock one part to get to the next. Not really anything mind blowing.Controls- This is why I hated the game. The controls are horrible. You are in this weird 3rd person camera and it switches and fliks every time you jump or run. Possibly the worst controls ever.Overall, this is a good game, but I wouldnt reccomend for over the age of 12.

A dissipated, cash-strapped Flynn helped assemble this ludicrous ""docudrama"" on the Cuban Revolution. Once you get past Errol's lumbering six-minute introduction (the swashbuckling star plays himself as a ""representative of the Hearst press""), the movie takes a nosedive into sheer awfulness - with plenty of non-acting to go around.

Picture quality is very good for a standard definition camera and operating it is about as easy as it can get. On-camera editing capabilities are not extensive so if you need those you may want to look at the cameras higher in the lineup.The only complaint may be with finalizing disks. You have to read the manual carefully as the charger must be plugged in and you have to be in play mode before it will even give you the option to finalize a disk. Fortunately you can change disks then go back and finalize them later.I have had absolutely zero problems playing back finalized disks. Just put the disk in a DVD player and press play.,23817 1,Gently Gold Caress Hair Remover,"This is my first epilator, and I am highly impressed.

The voices and octaves do not blend to give the songs an almost unison vocal semblance that is characteristic of Los Panchos.The two very familiar tango cuts leave a bit to be desired.

I read the whole Riverworld series multiple times about twenty years ago, and found it really fascinating with all the possibilities of humankind being resurrected all at one time on a strange world. After re-reading this book again, the idea is still very interesting, but I think the book is bogged down too much with personal observations and details, so many details, so the story seems a little choppy. You can tell that Philip Jose Farmer really admired the people he made the protagonists in this story and described them very well, but I think all the detail detracts from the story quite a bit.

The B-sides are very well, not that comercial than the first disc of course but if you wanna' hear something new about U2, it's good to hear it for a while. The album only has one problem: some songs are better in concert version, and they put all the original songs. Examples of these songs are Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bad and I will follow.

Think about it, his first CD was in the footsteps of Rebirth and now we have a CD that mirrors Whatcha Lookin' For. He was reborn.A truly great production with beautiful melodies, grooves and samplings from the greats including Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire and Patrice Rushen to mention a few.

The bulk of the material is self penned and mostly you hear real musicians: listen to the blasting horn section on 'This bedroom's on fire' and the rock steady bass on every track. There's boastful blues, hurting country soul, slinky soulful grooves and a dash of gospel. Denise lives the lyrics and as with the best vocalists the singing conveys so much more than mere words can do.To boot the set is recorded in the legendary Royal studios in Memphis with Willie Mitchell contributing.

Ever wonder why women in leadership positions endure better in male dominated fields?

Revelation is the last book of the Bible, written by John in his last remaining years, while exiled on the island of Patmos. Revelation is written in a highly symbolic manner, and it is the understanding of these symbols that makes this such a controversial book. Once the symbols are understood, and this is what Van Impe does, the Book of Revelation makes perfect sense.Van Impe takes Revelation verse by verse and proceeds from the beginning to end of the book explaining the symbols of the book, giving applicable history as needed, and relating how Revelation is relevent today.

I bought the John Gardner novels in order to finish my collection, I would never buy them in order to get enjoyment out of them! Mr Gardner cannot even begin to fill the shoes of Ian Flemming. His stories are too far fetched, his twists and plots are so over the top they are confusing and the pace of all the books I have read, is as slow as hell!

However, it's quite obvious that this collage of memorabilia of the band's early days proves that they covered a lot of pop tunes in the early 80's. I would describe this essentially as a rehash of songs from that era with the blazing digital dexterity of Ty Tabor sprinkled throughout. To me that's the only saving grace, unfortunately.

While the prose in the novel is as seductive as The Vampire Chronicles there is just something in Witching Hour that left this reader dissatisfied and slightly nauseated by the book. Then I made the mistake of thinking the book Lasher could make up for the horrible ending of Witching Hour -- it didn't.

Each and every character in the book was well developed and totally fascinating. The romance between Laurel and Jack the main characters was believable and exciting. I love the way she intertwined all the characters in this Lousiana town. Being a New Yorker, I don't normally gravitate towards fiction focused on the south - but anyone would appreciate the way Hoag describes life in the Bayou, and truly makes you want to visit. I noticed some reviewers complained that the suspense didn't start until the middle of the book.

The Dual Shock is basically the same thing as the original Playstation controller designed a few years ago, except it has the two analog sticks. This brings me to my only complaint about the controller. The two analog sticks add some weight to the controller and get in the way of rapid button combination pressing in games like Tekken 3, and especially Capcom's fighting games (I think the whole analog idea isn't necessary anyway). So if you are used to the regular Playstation controller, the Dual Shock may take some time to adjust to.

But the American and European infatuation with watered down Brazilian music faded as the British invasion began in earnest, and Mendes and his various bands fade from public view.With this album, though, Mendes has returned to a very basic and completely authentic Brazilian sound- far more authentic than the original Brasil '65 band. And it's an absolute treat. The sound of Carnival just echos through this album, and if you close your eyes you can imagine yourself in the middle of it all on the streets and beaches of Rio.

Kuja is second evilest villain ever (below Sepiroth) and all the characters have their own individual skills so you don't have to worry about teams being unbalnced. One thing I would say is a disadvantage is the trance system, for some people it's very good (Zidane has some cool dyne moves) but for others it is completely pointless (there isn't much difference between Summon and Eidolon) besides that though the combat system is great.Buy this if you have FF7.

The author clearly demonstrates a single-minded labor of love to preserve the overall personal story of this critical and singular period in American history. Another Amazon review complained about the somewhat unprofessional presentation of the materials in the book but this is exactly why I love it. It's like the very scrapbooks that the WWII generation used to put together - photos, matchbooks, dance cards, postcards, badges, sheetmusic, unusual war front news stories, posters, etc. The materials are organized in either topical or chronological chapters and thoroughly annotated.

I made her cake donuts as well as her pretty pear cookies and found both to be bland and tasteless. I threw away both, and those pear cookies took hours just in prep work.

Especially when one of you has whittled down to only one or two cards and the other may have ten cards in his hand.

I guarantee you, that Ms. Argerich has no idea what she is playing during ""Gaspard"", she sucks all of the life and sensuality out of it. Did she read the three poems that ""Gaspard"" was inspired by, which are printed on the first page of the Durand edition. Probably not. It is not that difficult.

The characters are inetersting and the story has a nice ring to it. The actors are probably what makes the film. You just don't have the caliber of Bronson, Coburn and Martin these days.

It amounts to this; don't go to Burma. Especially if your an unarmed group of idealistic white folk from Colorado.

Horrible execution.,"Piper Perabo is a great new face in Hollywood and I look forward to seeing what she does next. That said, I believe the director and editor (more on that later) should be taken to a public place and caned with a bamboo pole.What starts as a cute girl-coming-of-age-in-the-big-city movie begins to fall apart the moment the girl who's too shy to sing in front of anyone starts working in a bar that requires her to dance on the bar while getting buckets of water dumped on her. ""Oh I'm too shy to sing one of my songs in front of my new date, but I'll strip for him!"" What???There is a spasmatic sequence with a phone call, a trip to a club, a family reunion and a performance that had to have been spliced together by an MTV editor that drank way too much Mountain Dew while eating pixie sticks. One character even repays a debt that was cut out so she couldn't have even known that she owed it!Hopefully Piper will have better luck with ""Slap Her, She's French"" this year.",17130 0,Deservedly Ignored,"This ""Dream Lover"" (not to be confused with the 90's James Spader/Madchen Amick film of the same title) is a stinker.

The latter was clearly written, to the point, and a useful resource. The same cannot be said of this book. It obscures the ideas underlying perturbation methods with excessive detail on problems of marginal interest. It also, oddly, fails to adequately explain a fundamental method such as multiple scales. Their explanation of how and why scales are selected misses the point completely. This is odd as the authors made contributions to the early development of this method and, as pointed out by the other reviewer, this is the main focus of the book.

There are also a series of mini gmaes throughout the platform which make sure that you do not get bored.

Unfortunately, the alarm has been very inconsistent. Some nights the alarm sounds, and I am able to assist my son to the bathroom, other nights he wakes up with a wet pull-up and the alarm hasn't made a peep all night. This has been frustrating primarily because my son began to make progress in response to the alarm and started getting up on his own when the alarm sounded.

Even today, almost 30 years on, Rockford Season 6 delivers DVD therapy for those of us who watched TV back then - it reminds us why we loved it. Watch some episodes of 80s glitz cop drama Miami Vice (if you dare) and (1974's) The Night Stalker (not remotely scary when you're a grown up and these days, even my kids laughed at it).

Days continues to support bad people always winning out. Another World's characters are far better than Days. The lines and expressions used are so funny. Another World should have brought back characters like John Hudson, Sharlene and made better story lines for excellent characters like Donna. They could have done great things with her. Also Cass.

The velcro manages to overlap the Pad sleeve at the edges. As long the velcro isn't touching any sensitive skin, you're OK. I don't mind handling velcro with my fingers, but it's rather different to have any part of a velcro patch resting against your bare neck for 15 - 20 minutes.

Also includes a cool painted bendy web that looks long but needs to be longer, maybe even strechy or sticky. It's supposed to wrap up bad guys, but you need the whole thing todo that. The head, legs and arm have very good articulation but no abdominal movement beacause of the zip-line.I am afraid of the left forearm breaking off side-ways.

Nabokov follows (although not usually linearly) the young Russian chess prodigy, Luzhin, through his strange and obsessive rise to the top of the chess world, his marriage to a fascinating and caring woman, and his slow, maddeningly intricate and psychologically complex 'downfall' (though this isn't the right word). I recommend this book for at least three reasons: 1) It's short and gripping 2) Nabokov's prose is inspiring and 3) The story of poor Luzhin makes you feel as if you too are going mad (this is a good thing--you get to experience a plausible account of madness without--let's hope--going mad yourself).

Well-written songs with a fairly light touch; the guitars get cranked up on occasion, but mainly it's a smooth ride. The focus is on vocals and they are solid as are the harmonies.

The author is a breast surgeon and the main person behind the breast cancer stamp, which helps fund breast cancer research. He answers everything a person could possible wonder about the medical terms one encounters when going through the process between a ""bad"" mammogram and the various methods of treatment. His language is down to earth and easily understood.

I haven't been asked to read the book for school, but I read it in my own time and enjoyed it. Reading it for a class, I think, would have ruined it for me. Holden is easy to relate with. He's a thinker. You share his thoughts throughout the book and I found myself agreeing with the majority of them. Though it was a fantastic book, I don't think it deserved as much acclaim as it did. I don't think it was a work of genius or a hard book to write. In my opinion, it read almost like a journal, almost. A journal where you are revealed every detail and every thought. If you were to reach into your mind and dig out your inner thoughts, I'd almost garantee you that they would match up easily with Holden's.",47734 1,Excellent. Love it.,"Works as advertised.

It is not. First, the smoker came damaged in several places, enough so that the door would not close. Second, it is not made of heavy gauge steel, it is more like the steel around air conditioning ducting in your attic. Never used it, and have been trying to return it ever since. The only thing worse than the smoker is Amazon's customer service. I have not been able to get it retuned, they are not responding. The smoker is made in China, they used to be made here. Evidently Great Outdoors has been sold a couple of times, and now is a big supplier to Wal-Mart which explains how they have gone from high quality to tin metal. I researched this smoker and found mostly good reviews on barbeque sites. But they are a couple of years old, from when these things were made here. Overall, this has been a very bad experience.

Yes the humor is definitely raunchy. Not quite as over the top as The Hangover or Bridesmaids - but sort of along those same lines. (I can see how some would be offended.)

The outrageous behavior of this classic narcissist would actually MAKE an excellent book, though non-fiction this odious would likely not be believed by most readers. I would not believe the opinion of this very flawed human being if he told me the sun were shining at mid-day.

It's the wooden display/storage box which is terrible. The hinge arrangement on the tilt out router bit tray is absolutely terrible. The first time I ordered it the tray had broken completely loose within the case and the dovetails at one corner of the box were coming apart. The shipping carton was pristine so it wasn't a shipping issue. I returned the bit set and within a day or two I had the replacement (Hooray Amazon).

Of course, everyone comes together at the end to celebrate Christmas as a family and to extend a generous gift to a needy neighbor to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling.It was a nice suprise to see the some chemistry between Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis that reminded me of my own parents and how they handle situations.

I usually go under the two people at the front of the bridge. The Marines don't find me there and keep looking. I got up once and whacked a Marine down.

CLEANS UP NICE!!!!,10345 0,Doesn't work as advertised. Useless!,"I need a pen that writes in the dark, after several failed purchases, I was excited to finally find a pen that actually writes in the dark. When I received it the first thing you notice is how big, ugly and industrial/medical looking the pen is. Beyond that, the pen lights up all right, but you have to hold down the heavy button for the light to work. You don't just turn it on and start writing. To make this even more unusable the button is located at the top of the pen and not at the bottom. So in order to write with the light on, you have to hold the pen at the top and keep your hand pressed on the heavy to push button. Making it virtually useless. My hunt for a pen that writes in the dark continues, but I won't be making any more ""blind"" purchases from Amazon.",12242 1,Bacalls first time,"Bogart and Bacal's sexual tension in this remake of Casablanca is so thick you can cut it with a knife. They had almost instant chemistry off screen and from the ""you know how to whistle"" scene on Bacal gets better. Even picking up comic business for the scene where Bogart is digging a bullet out of the French Resistence ""leader"". Walter Brenan also gives a good supporting prefomance as a drunk sidekick. Of course Bogart does not phone it in; he never does. In some ways the film is better than Casablanca because of the Bogart/Bacal relationship. And if you care about acting in films, this one lets you watch Bacal go from model to actress. One problem, they insisted on having Bacal sing. But the Hoggie Carmical at the piano is a treat beyond that song.But Bacal sings in the Big Sleep too with more success. If your a Hemingway fan, you will find that the screen writers used little beyond the title of his book.",27843 0,Preachy and Biased,"This book is clearly biased and over-preachy.

The photos and layout are nice. There are extra informationa nd fact boxes relating to the chapter's material.

For Kelvin, it his dead wife. There are subtle differences, however, between the alien versions and the people the astronauts once knew. Why? That question is never answered and the reader is left to conjecture, just as conjecture is all that is allowed by Lem of the alien's motives. Lem writes for people who want to think.

The scene descriptions and the description of the characters and the dialogue between them pull you in to where you want to keep reading. The relationship between the two older men is one of devotion and respect and love. The relationship between the two younger men is very complicated---- a love hate relationship. It ends up in love and committment. The minor characters are either very self-righteous and sanctimonious or obnoxious, nasty, selfish and manipulative.

A more appropriate comment would be: ""Get it in your brain after taking a tedious journey down a long, winding road"". I found some useful information about Ajax, but only after being frustrated by having to wade through an excessive amount of fluff, even if the dog pictured so often is really cute. Head Rush Ajax typically uses about 20 pages to present and explain material that anyone with any coding experience at all can learn in a paragraph or two.

Who cares if it's punk? Everyone ranting about what punk isn't without giving a concrete definition of what punk even is. For instance, criticizing that Green Day is too easy to play, claiming they're not punk, while offering the Ramones as an example of what punk is. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ramones. But they wrote very simple, very POPPY songs and I don't see how Green Day are too far different (except that it's not ""punk"" to like anything remotely successful). Drop the labels, it's semantics.

These headphones don't appear to be ready for CD players yet.On the other hand, when I use them to listen to my television, the result is satisfactory. I suspect the same drop outs exist, but they are not nearly as noticable with dialog as they are with music. Since I primarily bought them to listen to the TV, I plan to keep them.

First, it was replete with with ""pep talk,"" which was time-consuming to read and irrelevant to the goal of mastering crucial SAT test-taking skills. Second, it was thin on substance, which may be why the author had to use extra-large fonts to fill up the pages. The few SAT test taking strategies, designed for the so-called ""2400 Club"" members, were nothing you cannot find in most quality SAT prep books. Also, with the pre-2008 edition, the lay-out was so messy that it was actually hard to follow. Finally, having just coached my daughter for the January SAT (in which she scored perfect SAT scores), I think it's misleading to insinuate that one could earn perfect scores on the SAT simply by using this one workbook. From my perspective, nothing short of disciplined work, relentless practice, and a positive mind-set would achieve that.

A few cons would be the single speaker makes listening to music ok, but certainly not equivalent to a two speaker stereo. The remote only works if you are in front of the radio. My kitchen table is off the left and I need to get up and move to use the remote.

Although all the books are wonderful reads - be prepared - there are strange situations in the books - among them are incest and homosexuality.

I've driven 8d - 16d nails with roughly equal success, although the smaller nails will occassionally bend if the drive angle is not consistantly maintained. If you can't tolorate an occassional bent nail, I've found using stick nails (purchased for my Porter Cable F350 nail gun) solves the problem. Although I originally pruchased the palm nailer for use in difficult-to-reach locations, I've grown to using it more in situations where convential tools would also work. It's light-weight (unlike conventional nail guns), drives a 16d nail in less than 2 seconds, and, at the end of a remodeling day, doesn't send me home with a sore wrist and arm.

For a while, I wasn't sure whether Flashman had been a real person.Strongly suggest that the reader read the Flashman series in order, starting with the first one, Flashman: 1839-1842, to get the most out of the series.

It's all the more heartbreaking that these two tracks are so fine, because it suggests what Oasis might have been. Maybe if their next album is good it can salvage their place in the pantheon.

The performance is lifeless compared to any of the originals. Wynton Marsalis's latest effort to score a historical piece for an orchestra again fails. As with Coltrane's A Love Supreme, the original small group performance set the bar very high. That is not to say that any attempt to score these works is a guarenteed failure (see many recordings by the Mingus Big Band). The reason these works fail along with many other of Marsalis's are due to a lact of emotional fire, and originality (the artist must at least attempt to provide some personal statement to the piece, or all you can to is compare it to the original).",39339 0,DVD Xcopy,Despite their promise of easy to use and can back up copy of your owned DVD so far I cannot make one single copy using this product.

It makes a mess! The brew basket requires some force to remove too. I finally learned to just carefully extract the used filter with grounds after exerting too much force a couple of times. With some force, the basket would pop out, sending wet grounds all over the place. I've finally given up on this coffee maker now that the non-stick surface has worn in several places.

Definitely an evolution of the Haujobb sound and formula. The programing, sequencing and all the sound enginering is all simply mind blowing. A few of the songs that I really liked had some great uses of samples from movies very smoothly mixed into the sequences. While there is still a chorus here or there that isn't perfect, overall the songs really pound hard with an incredible intensity. You must listen to this album on a great car stereo or insanely loud in a club to fully appreciate the full depth of the compositions.

Well, after listening to ""Prelude"" which is suppose to be her best, I have concluded that her voice simply isn't up to a professional level. She sounds like my sister in the shower.

Suffice to say that Blackmantle was a severe disappointment. Athyn's development was disjointed, the obsession with revenge & torture unappealing and plot meandering. Morric appeared as a paper thin entity not a consort; the other characters also lacked depth enough to be anything but pale scenery. I found myself scanning, not reading, hoping vainly that the plot would improve. This book doesn't have much in common with its predecessors or the Keltia previously described /created. Skip this book and read Copper Crown or The Hawk's Gray Feather as an introduction to Keltia. Hopefully Ms. Kennealy will regain her previous focus in future ""Keltia"" installments and put aside the disappointing diatribe shown in Blackmantle.",14191 0,UltraViolet should be a crime,Its sad that a space reserved for reviews of a fantastic movie instead gets taken over by complaints about the crime that is Ultraviolet Digital Copy. UVDC is totally unacceptable. Warner Brothers should really offer customers some sort of recourse. It really should't be difficult. You buy a personal license when you buy a movie. You load the digital copy in iTunes. You then load the movie on your devices for personal use. That is the way it should be done. Its not difficult.

Two flaws drag it down it somewhat. First is the narrative style, first person from the end of the story -- which we're told in the first few pages. (There are also an annoyingly large number of gloom-and-doom predictions that don't seem to quite bear themselves out, in the main body of the text.)

The story is easy for kids to read, yet it doesn't seem like the ""young adult"" literature they often give to Middle School students.The story begins in Germany in the mid-1920's; the narrator is a German Christian and his buddy Friedrich is a German Jew. The narrator's family is poor and Friedrich's family is well-off, yet they are never selfish or vain. As the years pass it seems like their community is getting hostile toward Jewish people, and while the narrator doesn't seem to understand what's happening, it looks like his Jewish friend is probably more aware. Friedrich gets blamed for all sorts of things, and while they try to do the stuff kids do (see the chapters ""The Ball"" and ""The Pool"") he finds that Friedrich is seen more and more as an intruder than a customer.The last few chapters are more and more unpleasnat, the ending of which I will not reveal.",13666 1,let it grow on you,"i bought this cd for 5 bones used. i read the review here before buying also. the first spin of this album was not a good spin, after experiencing their last album. so after the first spin i let it sit in its case for awhile. then one day i tried to give it another chance. i still really couldn't grasp it, so i kept trying. eventually, it grew on me. there is so many elements in this cd. its a real big step compared to their last cd. the songs have the heavy distorted guitars like the last album, but more than that. the vocals are diffferent, at first kind of annoying. but, it will grow on you. just give it a few spins. i'm surprised this album never got attention, little long their last album. try it out.......",23488 0,Headstrong Boring and Long,Trapt are one of the many NU-METAL bands that represent everything that is wrong with Rock music today.Don't buy this crap!,16508 1,"Better than other recent ones, but not classic Quick","I'm on the fence about this book. On one hand, I can't say I'm overly fond of the main male lead. The heroine is interesting and likeable, and I almost wish she'd end up with someone better (though the hero's family is quite interesting). The storyline has a good mix of mystery and action, if a little overly melodramatic. For those who like a bit more intrigue in their romance novels, this is a decent novel. Not the best by this author by a long shot, but not bad, either.And even though the author does a bit too much leading (as opposed to letting readers guess themselves or be utterly surprised) it's still a tidy, interesting plot.

An amazing band, deserving. Resultingly I have come to them more and more lately.

And there are the references to firearms, laboriously attempting to sound factual but again, just wrong. The author has someone shot with a Sharps 44 revolver, for example, but the Sharps 44 was a rifle.

This is Amazon's competing video stream.I bought my favorite episode of this show for free because of the $2free voucher amazon was giving. Now I can keep my favorite episode forlife.

It's pretty awesome and of the same videoquality you'll find in Netflix and Hulu",21059 1,Great set of speakers,"I just happened to come across these Wharfedales when I was looking to replace my Polk audio satellite rear speakers. Typically, a set of bipolar speakers will run well over a few hundred dollars. Under $90 shipped was an absolute steal. These speakers sound great and give a lot of depth to my surround effects. I'm not sure how they would be as mains, probably plenty good for most, but as surrounds they are great. Hey are white and mounted on my wall, blend in well, they are not small, and are very solid, and surprisingly heavy. You all not regret this purchase.",12537 1,Bo and Pap make for a delightful read,"Bo Tully is a widower and the sheriff of Blight County, Idaho, as was his father. Bantim Scragg's and his sons are not known as law-abiding citizens so when a call comes in that they are reporting a body on their fence, it gets Tully's attention. When more victims are found, clearly not locals, the crime takes on a different focus.Patrick F. McManus is a well-known author of humorous outdoor adventures and a columnist. To his repertory, he now adds mystery writer. This is a delightful book in a different setting and interesting police work. Blight is a very small Idaho town where everyone knows everyone and the weather is an element not to be ignored. All the characters are wonderful, particularly Bo and his father, whom everyone calls ""Pap."" There is gentle humor, a good mystery and an unexpected ending. I liked that the mystery included both locals and outsiders. I've not read McManus before, but I shall look forward to reading him again.",9104 0,Caution required,"Violin looked nice, good carry case. Bridge was too high and had no notches for strings.

I have a Celiac child and this mix is a godsend. Banana bread made with Pamela's never lasts long enough to even cool down.

I am so thankful to the people at Pamela's products for creating such a wonderful mix.,35459 1,Ethereal beauty written in words,"I just finished this book and I was almost wholly taken with its ethereal beauty. Our heroine, Razi Nolan, is a charming, ""venturesome"" girl who dies and is then left in ""the between"", neither alive nor truly gone. She exists in the present, but her yearning for past things are often brought to the forefront. She gets what she once wished for -immortality- (""One lifetime isn't enough to make all the trouble of which I'm capable"") and it's not quite what she had expected. The author writes of love and loss as one who has deeply experienced both of these things. This novel is especially heartbreaking and poignant with New Orleans as its locale. It's what Alice Hoffman would have written at the height of her talent if she were Southern.",19733 0,Katie Pham,They don't work very well and nothing exciting at all.

I have a different brand of pocket dictionary of another foreign language that is quite small and use very religiously. This Tagalog one pales in comparison to what I used and what I was expecting.There are no pronuciation explanations, as I guess they assume you know how to pronounce the words already. But then again, reading Tagalog is pretty straightfoward, as opposed to trying to read, say, Chinese or Russian, where the characters are totally different. But you wouldn't even know where to accent the syllables either...A total for 88 pages with 44 pages devoted to each Tagalog - English, and English - Tagalog. I guess you get what you pay for. And I'm not paying this much for this book. I'm returning this one!",8587 0,The first season was so good. What happened?!,"After thoroughly enjoying the first season of ""The Magnificent Seven"", I eagerly proceeded to the second season. However, the second season is nowhere near as fun as the first. The first season episodes were made in the spirit of the good, old-fashioned western, with no deep issues to get in the way of the action. It was the sort of thing that the whole family could enjoy. Yet, for reasons that are entirely beyond me, in the second season, the writers decided to introduce a look of psychological issues: slavery, rape, infidelity, J.D.'s guilt after killing a man... Not to mention the fact that someone working on this series has a major axe to grind against Irish-Catholics. I am not surprised that the show was cancelled after this season. By the time I got to the end of it, I didn't want to watch any more either.This boxed set contains the 13 episodes of season two, packaged in slim-line cases. There are no special features included on the DVDs.",15630 0,Great Movie for the Pervert,"If you are a rapist, you will get off on this movie. If you like hurting children, this movie is one that you should add to your collection. If you have absolutely NO sense of humor, and like to sit through movies without any comic relief, then, trust me, this movie is for you.One of the first scenes is a four or under child being shot while the killer is talking to her in this soothing voice. Another scene has Viggo raping his wife, and she is responding avidly to this wild abuse.I bought this movie thinking that it would have a little bit of violence and some comic relief. I thought, that with names like Ed Harris and William Hurt, you can't lose. I lost.Let's not forget how the dumb sherrif just fell into the plot like a schmuck.Hint: Save your money. If you don't take my word for it, rent it before you buy...guaranteed...you won't buy it.",17157 0,Wasting Talent,It's too bad that Christina Aguilera is wasting her considerable talent on mediocre arrangements and superfluous vocal histrionics such as are displayed on this album. The sense of the songs are lost and musical line is sacrificed for vocal fireworks that are not in keeping with the style or mood. It's frustrating to hear such a good voice not being used to its maximum potential. I was very disappointed.,37842 0,2 stars is being generous,"growing up, I was taught that if I didn't have anything nice to say, I shoulldn't say anything at all.

Heaven help us. Molly, a native Texan, is probably the most honest satirical writer going. She chronicals Dubya's life from his Texas Air National Guard duty to his win in the Republican Primary for President. His corporate policy (oops I mean public policy) are the yarns of extreme right wing Republican lore. The reverse of Robin Hood. Of course the book is short, as are the notable accomplishments of the man who may be our next president.",45684 1,Wonderful Look at Feminist Views of Fairy Tales,"This is such an amazing book.

The tray was tight against my son's stomach at 1 year old and he is a little fella. The hooks to detach the tray from the seat are made of soft plastic so they bend and break...the tray also gets stained easily from spaghetti sauce and fruit...very porous, cheap plastic.

I believe you could probably squeeze another set of batteries in there, as well. There is also a slim front pocket.It doesn't have enough room for a charger or other things, but if you charge your batteries at home (or in your room if you're on the road) then this shouldn't be a problem.I think it's a nice balance of max protection but without the burden of a hardshell case.

First, FM sensitivity, (the ability to pick up weak stations) seems worse than my cheapo Sony analog radio. Your lucky to get all the stations you are accustomed to. Alternate channel selectivity (the ability to sort out one station from another when they are close in frequency) was lousy. But the worst part of all is the FM noise floor. This radio when receiving a strong signal is not quiet. You can hear background hiss on a strong station even in MONO mode. So I either got a bad sample of this product or this is simply a very average performing radio. I would say not worth the price. not recommended.",3587 1,Great!,I love the movie.

Her soulful, sultry vocals sound better than ever and are supported by inspired piano work, lush intrumentation and an ever-smooth beat. Keys has proven that she's the real deal. She's got a big, gutsy voice (powerful pipes) and delivers good messages to boot. Anything she touches is seductive and vertiginous. She was billed as being possessed by an ""old soul"" and that old soul has clearly uplifted her into one of the more refreshing R&B vocalists in recent times.",17270 1,Everybody in the fam will dig this!,"This is great music no matter how you look at it.

This book is one of his most accessible texts -- it is essential for anyone practicing Dzogchen because it focuses on integrating the practice with ordinary daily life. The translation is especially accurate having been approved by Namkhai Norbu, one of the most eloquent and erudite contemporary Dzogchen teachers. It's a definite must-have for anyone interested in Tibetan Buddhism and in particular Nyingma philosophy and Dzogchen.

Thankfully.This game is a lot of fun to play and a story that did not let itself to be known until it was all over. The main character's voice, I felt, was all wrong but did not distract from the fun.During load sequences he talks about the story, the other characters you meet, amusing anecdotes, or just shows him wandering around or his guns.

Most of the runs offered in this game are demos, and to get the full versions of some of the runs you have to go to different websites and pay more money for the full blown versions.

It's great. Not only are the jokes as funny as hell, but at the same time there's a very interesting story to watch. This is a cult classic comedy.

Steve Kilbey's cool vocals, his interesting stream-of-consciousness lyrics, two exhilarating guitarists - Marty Willson-Piper, Peter Koppes - and Tim Powles, a drummer with great production skills, make for an all-round class act.However, this may not be the place to start as Forget Yourself is not one of their more accesible recordings. If you're new to The Church, I would suggest ""After Everything Now This"".But mark my words: sometime in the future Forget Yourself is going to be regarded as a MASTERPIECE.

That alone was enough to make me return the book--NO dog collar should poke or choke! There's also lots of info about cats, which is legitimate enough, but since most readers will be training one or the other, and not both, this amounts to wasted text (for which you pay). I'd recommend going online and digging up some info on getting your dog into film or TV, and buying a book like Dog Tricks for Dummies in the meantime. Cute cover, but I returned this one because of the choke-collar issue. FYI, I have an energetic German Shepherd who I pleasantly and successfully trained 100% through positive methods. It is totally possible to do this--I don't care WHAT you're training for (TV, search and rescue, family pet, etc.).",11009 1,I love this book!!!!!,I love doomsday conspiracy!!

Seems bands that make references to drug-use and being chauvinistic do very well these days (especially among women...are they that self-loathing or do they just not listen to the lyrics?)I honestly don't believe it is only a 1-star album, but it seems the majority of people posting reviews here are just defending this band against people comparing them to Nickelback. So I'm giving it a one in the hopes to bring the average rating down to where I believe it should be, which is 2 1/2. A completely average album.",13990 1,A good starter book for aspiring goaltenders.,"Although Jacques Plante has passed on,this book serves as a reminder of his great work ethic.

While it starts off a little slowly it picks up speed and interest as the children discover what the object they found on the beach can do. Their process of discovery takes them in unexpected directions and creates an aura of mystery and suspense as to where all of their adventures will lead them and how it will all end.The acting by the children, played by Chris O'Niel as the brother, and Rhiannon Leigh Wryn as the sister, is thoroughly engrossing and generates a sympathetic concern for their well-being as the question of the results of their decisions is revealed.This is a family movie, has a family friendly ending and is suitable for all ages; I recommend it.",37879 0,Too Much Sugar,"Although its always nice to find gluten free products available to those who suffer from Celiac Disease, its also troubling to find many of these products also are high in sugar.

If I purchase something that is chocolate I want to taste chocolate not be overwhelmed by sugar.Rice flour in itself is high glycemic and with the added sugar this product made me feel ill from the sugar content. I have been baking for years the old fashioned way with whole wheat but after developing Celiac I no longer could consume it. I learned later from a nutritionist that sugar was also a problem for people who have Celiac. Through trial and error I found this to be so true. Can't the makers of these mixes back off on the sugar? I removed the chips as well as they were too sweet. Other than that its okay for a rice flour mix cause we all know rice does not compare to whole wheat.",17400 1,Genre Film. Gambling Western Motif,This is the definition of a genre film if ever there was one. It's a story of a gambler out west who gets into trouble and has to end up shooting his way out of it. In that sense it's a truely classic picture and perhaps the one that defined the genre. Think The Sting if it was set in the wild west and you have a pretty good idea of what this film is about.

But if you don't have the original recordings, this is the best thing to them. A hip-hop jazz CD at best, but all remakes.

Excellent movie with out any violence and a movie that teenagers can really enjoy as well.",570 0,Too Random to be Good,"After enjoying the first two books of this series, I was very excited about this one. But I was doomed to be disappointed. One of EC's strengths is her character development. Yet, she kills off all of the best characters, sometimes in completely random ways. (*cough* the sea elf *cough*) It's irritating to get attached to a cool character and then see them killed with little reason other than EC not wanting to have to deal with them anymore. Characters pop into and out of the storyline without explaination. What happens to Danilo? He just suddenly stops being in the story at all. And what about the big final battle? Again, it is too random to be good. Liriel doesn't even act like you would expect her to. Overall, I was very disappointed. Elaine Cunningham, rewrite this book!",20612 1,Funny movie!,"This is a great movie and still makes me laugh! Yes, you can tell it was made in the 70s but how cool is that?! Dudley Moore steals the scenes he's in. Chevy Chase & Goldie Hawn are hilarious together. This is another one of the movies that my sister and I can quote lines from and make each other laugh ~ ""Beware of the dwarf!"" It's just a great movie to watch when you need a good laugh. The more you watch, the more you pick up! The old women playing dirty word Scrabble is funny...especially seeing old women and ""those"" words BACK IN THE 1970s?! You just have to watch it or have lived it (the 70s, I mean) to get it:) I highly recommend this movie.

Kagome is a 15 year old girl that used to live a normal life until one day she was pulled into the well (in her shrine *modern tokyo*)by a youkai (demon). There she meets Inuyasha and goes on an adventure with him. Other charactors do join the party (Miroku, Sango, and Shippou). Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyou, and she has inherited many of Kikyou's special powers. Kagome can see the Shikon no Tama fragments. The Shikon no Tama is a powerful jewel that raises anyones power. It is usually used for evil, but not always. I won't spoil the story for all of you peeps that want to see it. I HIGHLY recomend seeing this movie and the others that follow it.

I was pissed because I spent $2.39 to rent this mess. I wouldn't spend 25cents on this. Please ma'am or sir don't waste your time or money. You only see Fantasia and Faith two times maybe. The storyline was all over the place. The kittens weren't kittens they were more like bears. They were dressed poorly and some of the women in this was too big to be dresses like that. I was embrassed. I will give Nicci Gilbert credit she tried but just because you were an actor in a Tyler Perry play doesn't mean you are a playwright.

The baby is trying to sleep!It's enough light to see him if I peek in and it's still on.I feel the volume is plenty loud enough. It is a crib cd player, not a house cd player. It's plenty loud enough for his tiny nursery, and i've never turned it all the way up.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for the battery issue - it eats batteries worse than any other toy he has - including the swing which we use much more often.I thought that was strange, and if it does take that much power, it should come with rechargable batteries.Maybe the next model :)overall we're very pleased though.",43742 0,Very disappointed,Every thing sticks to this pan.

It is alleged that George Jones once considered a career in bluegrass, and in some ways Larry Cordle tells us what the Possum might have sounded like if he had. My idea of hillbilly heaven would incorporate a honkytonk with Jones's version of Cordle and Leslie Winn Satcher's ""Jesus and Bartenders"" (""Jesus and bartenders/ Hear it all"") on the jukebox. In the meantime, Cordle's own version will do nicely.

It felt as rough as those plastic ones you buy in 20 packs. I took one swipe with it and wanted to stop completely, unfortunately I did not have another razor handy. It felt like rubbing sand paper on already sensitive skin and it didn't even shave closely. I will NEVER use this razor again.

Secondly, I thought he would have expressed some remorse for murdering all those innocent people, but nothing to that effect was found in the reading.

All other US medical books suggest that this membrane should be gone by age 5 or so, which is patently dishonest and based on Douglas Gairdner's error af anatomy of 1949 found in the BMJ.This little bit of convenient dishonesty has meant injury to millions of US boys for over 50 years.Hats off to Avery's for getting this important detail correct!!John V.

His family suffers from the isolation just as much and that causes further strain in Jack's marriage.I haven't read Stephen King's novel so I can't make a fair comparison but the movie was done quite well and Nicholson, as always, played his part so well that you feel as though you're losing it along with Torrance.The late Stanley Kubrick may not have faithfully translated King's tale to the big screen but it's pretty good, nonetheless.",34812 0,Bad Taste,I'm not sure whats wrong with this companies dispensers - I've tried both this version and the smaller version (replacement) and they both added a very district plastic/metalic taste to each glass of water.The cold water system doesn't work as well either.

I was left with a feeling of pointlessness. I understand that the movie was trying to depict the occurrences as a real life event that is very anti-climatic due to the distance one places between themselves and the world around them. However, if van Sant was not going for shock value there are a few discrepancies I have with this movie. If the goal of this movie was not to shock then why the pointless scenes such as the girls going into the bathroom and regurgitating or the two boys making out in the shower? These scenes, I believe were not necessary to the plot of the movie and seemed as lame attempts to ""rawly"" portray a sensitive issue just to do it.

Also the Sarode is played in the manner of the Sitar which is not a sacrilege, but it clashes with the Surbahar.

Secondly, I had rather expected the author to teach me something new about the era in which the historical novel took place. That didn't happen; Having read the book I now know absolutely nothing that I didn't already know about Norman England. Thirdly, the characters were superficial, wooden, and rather remarkably peevish, most of them flying off the handle on the spur of the moment for no clear reason. Lastly, the dialogue sounded contrived and unbelieveable, even supposing it to be a representation of people speaking a thousand years ago.

Because you have to push the shortening into the measuring cup (to remove air pockets), this product doesn't work for me. On the Wonder Cup, when you push down, the plunger stays on the mark. For this one, the plunger moves with the slightest pressure, so I cannot use it to measure shortening without holding my finger at the bottom of the outside cylinder to keep it from moving.

The whole movie is set up around it but it really isn't even something that looks to belong in the film. And trying to merge former Star Trek cast members with current ones sounds good on paper, but I believe Shatner's ego tried to steal the show on this one .... and it didn't look good.Perhaps the most unforgiving detail here is the explosion of the Klingon ship, it's the EXACT SAME SCENE from the previous Star Trek movie!

In contrast, the equally willful crimes of Mr. Bundy, who may have killed hundreds, never resulted in a desire on his part to submit to his punishment. Society may be thankful for the honorableness of Gary's decision. There is much to think about in this book.

It lacks the depth of her other time travel novel, ""Son of the Morning."" In fact, it seems to lack the depth of character, depth of plot, depth of detail, and depth of research of ALL of her other works. It's pale compared to her really great contemporary work, ""Mr. Perfect."" I have heard that when authors get really, really famous and in demand, they sometimes subcontract part or all of a novel to other writers. That was the feeling I got from ""Killing Time.""

As you might expect from a critic who doesn't ""get"" the genre, his readings are shallow. M. R. James, for example, is portrayed as merely a skillful purveyor of gore. Worse, Kendrick reads all the works as having the same meaning. In his view, an attachment to such literature is puerile.I did learn a few things from this book--for example, the history of horror in the theater was mostly new to me, and probably will be to many genre addicts.

There is no explanation to any of the characters nor why they are there except there deamons attacking Japan. No explanation on the demons at all.

Virginia Eskin executes these gems wonderfully. She presents them always at the proper tempo and as written, without the filigrees that are so common in ragtime playing (Lamb doesn't need them!).

Cherone can hold up his own end but seems to be uncomfortable filling in the shoes once worn by Roth and Hagar. The real disapointment is in the music. Edward VH is no longer the guitar virtuoso that made everyone's jaw drop from 1978-1984. The guitar sound is dry and sloppy. If one were to listen to this up against such masterpieces as ""fair Warning"" or ""1984"", there is no comparison. It almost seems there are two different guitar players.

I never saw the original, so I had nothing to compare it to. I found the plot to be somewhat predictable, although the ending did have a twist to it. The acting was average; I have never thought of Cage as being a ""good"" actor, but he does OK. The plot and acting were not THAT bad, seriously. The island scenery was beautiful.

Never really allowing itself enough time to explore the possibilities within one central story with well developed characters, it sprawls out its never-ending twists and turns over the lives of at least 7 different characters, lives that somehow strangely (although predictably) manage to intertwine (much in the way Crash did in 2004). The minute we become attached to a character, the film jump cuts to another; it's annoying!I give this movie 2 stars (instead of 1) because it is not a complete waste of time.

From what I can ascertain, these might be Buddhist chants, but not what you might think given the front picture cover. Rather than being whisked off musically to a distant monastery or Pure Buddha Land, you are dropped kicked into elevator muzak central. The CD subtitle: ""Music for Contemplation and Reflection"" is true in the sense that you will be contemplating and reflecting why you bought this CD. I find it really hard to say anything nice about the cd because the packaging/product seems an an attempt to trick you. However, it can be said that the music is soothing and the recording clear. The tracks are delivered with an oriental feel but you can tell its a small studio production with electronic instrumental backup. This should be placed in a different musical category next to Enya or John Tesh. I'm sorry, I tried to say something nice.",22886 1,"Classic ""Recital""","Of the more than two dozen classical guitar CDs I have purchased over the past few years, John Williams' budget-priced ""Guitar Recital"" on Sony Essential Classics has to rank among the best of them. And this is a list that includes all of the Segovia Volumes, some classic Parkening discs and several other Williams titles. This recital features six beautiful Sonatas by Scarlatti, including the gorgeous E-major Sonata (K 380) which was featured on Williams' ""Romance of the Guitar"" compilation released last year. The Villa-Lobos Preludes and the Paganini works are no slouches either. Despite all the magical solo classical guitar discs in my collection from which to choose, I find myself reaching for ""Guitar Recital"" more than any of the others.",13161 0,Junk,One of the microphones dd not work out of the box.

I enjoyed Pay it Forward, so I took a chance on this one. This book is loosely based on the book of Job, but at one point, a priest tells the main character, that Job's family was restored to him, this of course isn't true at all, Job had more children, but his previous family didn't come back to him. I couldn't like any of the characters, even when she went back in time to show what a lousy father he had. It started out pathetic and got more so the more I read. It finished with a Hollywood b movie happy ending. Skip this one.",12601 0,Is It Worth It?,"I have owned the Nintendo DS for about 7 months now and within that time the only game that I found worth while was Mario 64 DS. I have looked at the other games for it but they do not appeal to me due to there almost Nintendo 64 graphics. The touch screen feature is pointless if you ask me. Just one more thing to be worried about if a scratch appears on it. They should have let the PDAs just have that. In my opinion, Nintendo has always been behind with there systems. None can play DVDs or Cd's and there graphics have always kind of sucked. The only Nintendo systems that I will stick to is the NES, Super NES, and the Gamecube. In conclusion, the DS is one of the worst systems made by Nintendo and that they should just leave handheld gaming to Sony.",10750 0,Nancy Pearl is lovely,Book should be used for reference only. Each genre is so brief that any continuation of thought for any subject is abruptly ended. However it does give a very good source for selection of books which I have not read. It covers the whole spectrum of book categories so I found interest in only about 25% of the listings. If I live to be 125 and am not too demented I might read all the books she reviews. But for now I concentrate only on a few of the categories.

I was also afraid that it would be too underpowered to freeze the sorbets and ice creams adequately, but again, it was quite strong in this regard, and froze the mixtures perfectly. Admittedly, doesn't make a huge amount, but the convenience of not having to constantly add ice cubes and salt in the old wooden tub machine MORE than makes up for it. And it's WAY quieter than the old fashioned freezers. ALSO it was half the price of a new one. BUY IT!",33082 0,"Firecracker? More like ""Sparkler""","I can't believe some critic described this as ""the movie David Lynch wished he could still make."" Give me a break! It's more like the movie David Lynch is GLAD he never made. With a skilled director this could've been amazing, but the direction/editing is amateur at best. Some of the colors and shots are well done, Karen Black is great, Patton is convincing when he's playing the older brother...but the rest of the acting is horrible. It's never quite clear (whether it's due to directing &/or acting) whether Jimmy is half-retarded or just psychologically screwed up. The psycho Indian girl comes across as a cheesy Log Lady (Twin Peaks).Do yourself a favor & rent some David Lynch. This is a turkey!",767 1,Excellent series for group study!!!,"Our small church (20 - 30 who regularly attend church) had 12 participants in adult Sunday School when we did this series. This was the first adult Sunday School curriculem we had used in 10 years, and is still the favorite of all that we've done since. It can be used with new Christians, or those who have done years of Bible study. Even my eight-year-old wanted to watch the videos (available from Focus on the Family) with us(although some videos are not appropriate for children). The videos are excellent. The Leaders' Guide is awesome. Wonderful insights into God's love and our response from little-known parts of the Bible, made relevent by modern-day archeaology. I would recommend this series whole-heartedly to any church or group wanting to study the Bible.",24530 1,Good value for price,Bought this to use with my Keurig for making morning coffee drinks.

Gorman's writing is sharp and easy to read, he doesn't over-write like so many others out there; his style is simple and straight-forward.Gorman keeps the story moving along, despite some slow spots, paces it well and keeps the premise pretty basic. The only pet peeve I have is the repetitive dialogue.""Really?""""Really.""That is what I mean. He does this several times during the novel and it gets a little annoying after doing it 4 or 5 times.However, the novel is excellent overall and Gorman is a master storyteller. This is a must-read for Gorman fans.",3121 1,Six men improvising for you,"Who said there was nothing new under the sun? I give thanks every day to whatever turned me on to Ivo Papasov and these chaps are almost in the same category. Their scene is improvising electric/acoustic jazz with a taste of the leader's Greece. Exaras was born in Thessaloniki in the Macedonia prefecture of Greece, not far from fabled Thrace, the home of history's Orpheus. His instruments are the hollow body and classical guitars and his head is not in Missisippi. Oh no, he is an improviser who listens and plays in a style a little like george Benson and a lot like himself. It works quite nicely with Exaras, clarinetist Bournias and percussionist Tuncboyacian providing the Balkans taste. Bournias even trots out the zurna, a double reed Balkans bagpipe.I won't go on and on about the CD. If it sounds like your thing, buy it.",31647 0,Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl,Tedious.

Normally I don't give reviews for mediocre books but the editing of this book so was bad that it needed to be addressed. The story may have been good but the editing so bad that I couldn't get past the second chapter. Please have someone edit this book if you want someone to read it. This book had the abolute worse paragraphing that I have come across. This was a real problem when the author went on to another scene/subject but forgot to finish the first.

But, that little smudge aside, this book is, as has been said before, one of the best introductions to Ch'an buddhism you can buy. It outlines the major forms of zen practice, some you probably hadn't heard of (HuaTou, MoChao), as well as some autobiographical parts, explanations of core Buddhist belief, as well as a great chapter on compassion. In fact, the book gives an exercise in compassion you can practice each day to help you out with it. You don't find that much in Zen these days.",10839 1,Classic....,"Reminds me of my youth. How can you go wrong with that?! James is at his best, and the music!!!",8864 1,A best-of-career-album of country-folk,"Campbell's toned down his act from his previous two LPs, dropping the twang and rockabilly for a folkier, singer-songwriter sound. What's emerged is his huge talent. The mostly-acoustic arrangements push the lyrics to the fore, and whether they're original compositions, or the well-chosen songs of Jamie O'Hare, Campbell sings them with intimacy and conviction. Campbell's songs explore the pull between restraint and liberty, from the lonely dreams of a prisoner in ""I'm Gonna Fly,"" to the dream chasers of ""Five Texas Dollars."" His well-chosen covers include O'Hara's stunning song of farm foreclosure, ""Bidding America Goodbye."" Cambpell's voice is a beautiful melodic match for the songs, and the accompaniment frames him perfectly. Those who enjoyed Vince Gill'sThe Key, or the recent releases of Bruce Robison, will find much to enjoy here. [2000-2012 Hyperbolium]",23970 0,Early Failure,"Did not purchase through Amazon.

While there were some nice passages describing the landscape and the general ambiance of the area, the writing often felt juvenile and sophomoric when describing his impressions of people and their adventures. He leaves the impression of a smart aleck who gets his kicks from mocking people. It's not only Americans whom he mocks, but also those from Florence and Pisa as well. The juvenile delinquent that he admits he was when he was a teenager still shines through in his writing. I have no doubt that he respects his country, but his lack of respect for people would make me think twice about hiring him as a tourguide.",37045 1,terrific movie for all ages,"This was a great movie for our entire family, even the grandparents!

Unfortunately is must have started as a slower leak and I didn't notice the water seeping into and underneath my hardwood floors.
