ONE FINE, FINE ROCK'N ROLL RECORD
This is a very consistent record. Gibbs is a fantastic songwriter who evokes a sort of southern gothic imagery into melodies that won't leave your head. At times he reminds me of Nick Cave, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and some crazy carnival barker.

This is a typical Calphalon hard anodized product - but the bargain price from Amazon makes it all the better. It is sturdy, well-made, and fills a niche between larger saucepans and a butter melter.I wish it had a glass lid, but most of these models don't .

Pales in comparison
I have enjoyed Goodman's other novels, and I was looking forward to this one as well. It just didn't hold up in comparison. I found that there were too many thinly developed characters, too many conveinient discoveries, too many predictible twists. Even the lush description I have enjoyed in previous novels, particularly The Drowning Tree, were absent.I am still a fan of Goodman's, barring this one misstep.

Brings me memories :)
I actually purchased this book for someone at their baby shower because I loved it as a child. I ended up not being able to make it to the shower, so I currently still have the book and I read it. Memories filled me up and now I can't depart from it. I want to keep it for my babies! I love the hard cover and cardboard pages. It feels much more indestructible than the regular page/paper cover I had growing up. I am so excited to get all of Jan Brett's books!

Nice socks..but
Love the socks but the socks like to shed pilings all over my carpet, especially when my husband takes them off. Little pieces of wool all over the carpet. Have to vacuum every 3 days.

4 Desktar drives, 5 returns with in 3 months!
This is a horrible hard drive! It may claim one of the fastest access times at 8.5 but you pay for it in quality. I have had four friends purchase these Deskstar models and have had non stop problems with them. It's a real hassle to go through their return policy. Do you really want to risk having all your data on this one drive completely lost? Changes are that is whats most to happen if you purchase this drive. ONCE AGAIN, DON'T GET ANY DESKSTAR MODELS, THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!

absolutely dire
I bought this a couple of years ago as a mate was going on about them. Big mistake! There's only one really decent song on it - Chop Suey!, which is actually very good, but makes you wonder how a band capable of this is able to fill the rest of the CD with utter tripe.The lyrics to most of these songs are utterly dreadful, a child could write more meaningfully. They seem to be popular with the 10 to 15 age group, and really is you're older than that stay well clear.One star may seem harsh, but I really cannot bring myself to give it two stars, even though there is one song which impresses me. One good song on an album just isnt good enough; buy the Chop Suey single if there is one, and save some cash and disappointment.

What happened to BR?
I loved every BR album, Suffer through Stranger is one of the longest running "great album" streaks in history. But with No Substance, the band has proven that Mr. Brett was the man. Graffin's strong song writing seems wasted on the pop-ish tracks, and the tracks are too slow and methodical to be a BR album. Cliche, boring guitar riffs, and soapbox preaching make one long for the poignant Against the Grain tracks or the individualist Stranger than Fiction songs. With each album so narrowly focused, the band routinely hits the point well. Suffer being societal, Generator, global... No Substance, with plasticity as a topic, should have been incredible and timely. It isn't. Bad Religion has too many moments of greatness to be remembered like this...

Does not last
I've owned this machine for 6 years until it gave me a problem. I am a novice sewer, mostly using the machine for small, simple projects. It may not be the strongest, but I faulted myself when jamming it from fabrics that were too thick. One day the bobbin winder function stopped working. I took it in to get serviced; the sewing store folks basically told me the machine is fairly cheap, "doesn't have a frame." All the mechanics of the machine is attached to plastic, and the bobbin winder's plastic was melted and sticky. I'm not an expert on machines and sewing, but I suppose this machine is good for beginners, but it doesn't last.

Sooooo cheaply made! Not quite as pictured.
I bought the medium for my 14 lb dacshund. The package arrived pretty quickly, however as soon as I took it out of the package, I saw just how cheaply made it was. The mustard piece is not actually attached to a strip of fabric the way it is shown in the picture. Instead, it is loosely sewn to the Velcro strips and one end of the mustard strip had already come off so it was flopping around. The Velcro strips are very narrow and will not hold up if there is any slight pull on them. A waste of $8.Side comment- the package lists a bunch of dog breeds that this is meant for and doesn't even state the obvious one which would be a dacshund!

A lot of fun
When I picked this book I wasn't too sure it was going to be any good. The book flap summary really didn't do it justice. But I thought why not. The main character turned out to be a wonderful character. Her wit and sarcasm was so much fun to read. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Pathetically poor design.
(1) Lid will not stay on.(2) Handle fills with water and then slowly leaks.(3) Date thumb wheels hard to move.I was compelled to write this review on first use. I'm sorry that I didn't read all the other bad reviews on Amazon before I bought or opened the package. I couldn't have imagined that someone could screw up something so simple so badly. Dumb assumption on my part. The limited warranty only replaces broken parts, there is no money back guarantee.But will work if you treat it like your Grandmother's china tea pot.

Tips for Executive Story Telling
As a Service Marketing Executive within a Fortune 1000 company, I find Executives know how to "tell a story" that fits their agenda. Some just take a little longer and are a little harder to follow. Of course, I don't remember those as well.What I found useful about the book "Presentation Survival Skills" is that their stories and mine have become much more visible and memorable in a favorable way, just by applying only a few of the techniques described in the book. One example is how to prepare for "The 2-minute Drill", for those times a 20-minute presentation gets cut to 5 minutes.Glad to see this book available at Amazon for those who have borrowed my copy!

So disappointed
I searched for socks that would be good for walking/running as my feet had been burning with irritation. Although there were many that said these were great socks, I have to say I am extremly frustrated with them! They ride down the backs of my heel and end up bunched up under my feet! I spent more money on them than I should have thinking they would do the trick but even walking around town today I have had to stop three or four times to take off my shoe, pull up the sock and re tie my shoe. Not enough elastic in the ankle or SOMETHING! Very disappointed.

The Best Mortal Kombat Game Ever (LOGO) SMK
This is the best Mortal Kombat game ever! I love it and I am sure that any one who plays it will love it. Graphics are great, has many new characters like Kenshi,Bo Rai Cho,and Frost. It also has many olds characters like Scorpion,Sub Zero,Jax,Reptile,Kung Lao,and Sonya. This is the best Mortal Kombat game ever and believe me I've played every MK game out there. I have many other reviews on MK stuff so if you want to see more of my reviews search Mortal Kombat (ON AMAZON.COM)and pick out any thing on that page.Also look for my Logo which is SMK that most the time is at the bottom of the review but might also be at the top by my title. OUT!(LOGO) SMK

It's really sad music has come to this.
It's preppy boys making girls cry and prancing around. Not really liked for the "music" they make but really for their looks. People buy this because it on MTV. Don't be brainwashed and save your money and buy Bush or somthing. You'll thank people like me later. Not one song I liked. Later

It worked for me!
I bought this based on the number of positive reviews. After reading the book several times, I was prepared to make the attempt.My son and I spent 3 hours in the bathroom working, and at the end, he was essentially potty trained! We tought the doll how to use the potty, we practiced and eventually had success. He was definitely ready for the attempt. He has had several accidents, but each time was upset that he had not made it to the bathroom in time. Him, not me.The book itself is trapped in the 80's - based on the mother doing the training (I'm the dad), but if you can overlook the writing style, you will glean some good points, and a system.I recommend it.

a moralizing, rambling yawn of a tale
As a fan of memoirs, I was intrigued by this book. But once I got 3/4 of the way through it I almost was wishing for James Frey to come along and slip in a few words of entertaining writing or at least an exciting anecdote or two.The book starts out as a diary of virtually any woman who's been to college since the mid-80s, and then ends on a schoolmarmish, prohibitionist note. Worst of all, there's no insight as to how the author got from one end of the spectrum to the other. For a better written and more insightful book, look for "Drinking: A love story" by Caroline Knapp.

Evil DRM
This is NOT a Compact Disc: this is "Copy Controlled" which means you can't play it on your portable music player and you may or may not be able to play it on a CD player.I'd give it more stars, but DRM sucks. Why can I not listen to music I paid for?

No Choice - upgrade or switch!
While Intuit had a good thing going, they have gone the way of Microsoft and added bad toys to a good program. Instead of getting better, 2003 has become overloaded for an average business user. The accountants are bound to be happy, as by the time the next version comes out, the average user will require an accountant to utilize the program. Now we are informed, on very short notice, that we HAVE TO UPGRADE TO HAVE PAYROLL SUPPORT! Otherwise Intuit no longer cares about you as a customer. And you'll notice that the price has skyrocketed! And customer support is nil without a large cash infusion into Intuit's pocket. My review: Time is ripe for competitors to step in and steal customers. I'm placing a sell order on my stock...and I will be looking a another accounting package for my needs. I may pay more, but I'll get a better program with REAL customer support.

A book that breaks down the boundaries
For those who have often shook their heads in dismay at the constant schitzophrenic warmongering between secular ideals and Christian beliefs, this book is a breath of fresh spiritual air. It is written in a straightforward comprehensive language and yet does not attempt to dismantle the basic tenets of Christian belief. Those who want a deeper understanding of the essential ideas which religion couches in antiquated and dogmatic terms will find in this book a blessing. Rolheiser, like any good writer, puts into simple and precise terms the anxiety and anguish that those who stand in the razor thin neutral zone between the religious and secular worlds feel. He is also refreshingly non-judgemental, reflexive and intelligent in his approach. This book is a wonder.

Very simple and at times hard to understand playback
Bought this...very easy to set up..thought good deal.It worked one week.The other messages stopped playing and died after the person said, "Hello this is.." Frustrated the callers! So I purchased another one. It at least works, but if someone is not speaking clearly, it may not have good playback quality. Also, you may hear other parties if your phone (landline) is plugged into the unit and you make a call..it isn't your phone..it is the unti. But for the price, and for needing a cheap answering machine, it works.

Intresting book...but nothing special
This book is about a man who is found to be guilty of murdering an arab in Algeria during the French colonization of Algiers. I found the main character to be boring and emotionless. It is aggravating how cold he is. I reaaly wouldn't recommend this book if your just reading it for fun / entertainment.

Great for a long run of metal duct
My duct goes 13', makes a 90 degree turn, goes about 10' further and ends in a 90' turn. The combination LintEater with the extra 12' extension kit was able to clean the whole run. It took about an hour if you don't count the time I ran around looking for the electrical tape, which I had placed in my pocket so it wouldn't get lost.The paper user's manual is well written and worth the read. They recommend a twist with pliers and a quick wrap with electrical tape at each join. And the manual implored me to only run the drill forward. I think I won't have trouble with it coming apart in the wall as long as I take those steps.Previously I had a 10' wire with a handle and brush. It is okay if you only have a 10' run. This system is much more versatile and it is much quicker to clean the whole run from one end.

agendas
and the spanking debate IN THIS COUNTRY ( USA ) continues. I would like to point out a correction. 90% of parents in THIS country HAVE spanked. that doesn't mean 90% DO spank, and surely doesn't mean of all parents in the world. ( 10-15% in sweden still think spanking is sometimes necessary. This is a country where it is banned to spank. So obviously one of the countries is backwards...its the exact opposite over there ). 60% say they would not spank if there were alternatives in this country.Obviously this book doesn't do those 60% any justice because it gives in to spanking. Sorry folks, kids are just too sensative for a parent to feel principled in ever hitting them. Don't even consider hitting after age 6. Spanking can be equated to rape for many individuals, as well. It is risky business.Common Sense is not too common these days. Selfish passions are replacing non-violent intuitions. Just remember: a happy childhood lasts a lifetime.

Sobering Look At Divorce and Remarriage
None of the characters in this insightful novel of divorce and remarriage are likable. (Even small Tess is a bit of a simp.) Robinson has created a story where every character is selfish, myopic, and unsympathetic. Yes, human.Yet through these flawed characters, Robinson paints a disturbing and very accurate picture of the ravages of divorce, remarriage, step children, blended families and in-laws. Through her adept prose we navigate amid the tangle of recrimination, fault finding, self justification, betrayal, malice, and irony: divorce in today's society.This is a sobering book. The ending is too pat, too unlikely; but it is the only false step in an otherwise absorbing novel.

Professional Weight set
This is one of the best weight sets I have ever used. I have worked out in professional gyms for years but decided I wanted to start doing it at home. These weights are better quality than some of the ones I have used in professional gyms. They have built in handle recesses that are really handy when putting them on and off the bar. They came freight truck right to my door. The weights were not damaged at all. The bar had rolled around in the truck and had some minor scratches on it but I don't even notice it when I am using it. I would highly recommend this set.

pamphlet
The book that came with the kit was in reality a brochure. I realized that there is only so much information about ethernet cabling, but the 4x6 booklet was almost useless. Also half of the 60 page book was in Spanish.Etherent cabling is color coded, the booklet is printed in black and white. While its small enough to put in a shirt pocket you need two hands to hold it open. Unless you are going to memorize the color combinations, your first try will be a little difficult.The tools seem solid enough. The amount of cable, cat5e, is adequate. I have come to expect more from the "dummies" publishers.

A long, entertaining read
Hamilton tells a great tale of corporate desperation and post-colonial operations amid the stars, and several reactions to it. What do corporations do after they pay to colonize lots of worlds, then they fail to make a profit? Well, some of them send out ships packed with mercenaries for 'asset realization' or theft of all the valuables and technology that can be located on each visit. This story follows one of the mercenaries who wants out, and one of the colonists who wants to put an end to it.The military and technical aspects of this novel are quite good, but the story is even better. It puts a fresh spin on the issue of colonization and terraforming, and Hamilton offers a lot of interesting commentary on entering into a colonial era, once more.The novel was a great read, but I also found it intelligent and compelling, with some really great 'big ideas', beneath its action-adventure facade.

Sonja is great...but
The male vocals in my opinion, ruin this cd. The demon, glutteral, style voclas are so distorted, you cannot make out most of the words. But Sonja's vocals soar...when she is permmitied to sing, which is only in a few places. It could have been so much better is the male vocals were not so prominent.

Houdini in the context of the times
This book shows many sides of Houdini: showman, public servant, dedicated son, passionate (if sometimes biased) student and researcher. The authors don't shy away from Houdini's flaws. They tell his story through vivid descriptions of his performances, conversations, and audience responses, capturing energy that keeps this biography moving. Very well-researched, the authors show Houdini in the context of his time: they convey the excitement of aviation's birth, the tensions of the first World War, the controversy of the Spiritualist movement.Excerpts from letters, articles and diary entries give the reader a sense of Houdini's voice. Photos and reprints of show posters and advertisements sometimes work well to help tell the story; other photos get limited descriptions, leaving the reader wondering what he or she missed.

Insanely bad
This gun is horible. I have found that it does get 30" like mentioned on the box. But that's only without the sticker. This gun is extremely inaccurate after ten or fifteen feet the dart goes soaring down to the ground. It is extemely bulky and hard to use if you attach a strap to it. So there's no way to srap it or holster it on to you when you change to a sidearm. And the guy that said this is like an assault rifle is just wrong. Assault rifles are %99 of the time fully automatic(machine guns). A nerf gun like this is the rapid fire twnety. Often the gun jams and this is horrible in the heat of a large scale nerf war.If you put any sonic darts in they will go speeding out of control and your last shot will be a horrible disaster. Overal I think throwing nerf darts is more effective than using this gun.

False Advertisement, in my book.. I got 1/3 of what I ordered!
I wanted a 3 tier paper tray, as shown in the picture, but only got 1/3 of it. they shipped me just one & supposedly they're "Stackable." I order on Amazon all the time! & this is the first time I've ever gotten something other than what was shown in the picture. I'm definately going to call them & get a refund some how- & I do not want to pay for shipping or go to UPS or fedex. I will try & arrange so they come to me or something, or I get to keep the tray & get my full refund. not to sound like a jerk, but dude- what do u expect?

Perches Fall Off Without Glue
Just received and looks acceptable and feels sturdy. But, the "perches" - where the birds sit - don't stay in and slide right out by just tipping the feeder a wee bit. Certainly any moderate wind would throw the perches right out. I had to use Elmers Glue to glue all the perches into place. I was looking for a feeder that didn't drop seed all over the gravel below. In this feeder, there is no "lip" at the bottom of each feeder hole to prevent seed from dropping out. We just had our yard landscaped and our old bird feeders, although they had "troughs" around the perimeter, still dropped seed on the gravel. As a result we now have sprouts of green coming through the gravel below our bird feeders. So, looks like we're back to square one.

This unit was OK, until it broke and snapped at the weld!!! I was using the unit when it occurred and thankfully I wasn't injured. I was shocked when I heard the LOUD SNAP and I jumped off the unit. It had been working OK, but it was more to tone up your body rather than to build large muscles. Hopefully, Amazon and the seller will make good on the defect and ship me a new one!!! Its been a nightmare contacting the seller and trying to work this out!!!!Pissed!

Rotten Egg in a Mirror!
I not only have seen this movie but, at the time it was being filmed, I was living right next door to my neighbors home which was used as the Riggs residence and let me tell you that the character of Karen was probably paterned after my former neighbor. Everything from Karen being an antique dealer to the closet scene in which all of the shoes are shown, to where she freaks out and acts like a total psycho. The Director of this movie more than likely quizzed her pretty exstensively before filming began. I can only tell you that this movie was put together quickly and what you see in the end is a result of this. So if you wanna see a stinker of a movie filled with lots of bad acting and a stupid plot line, then this is the movie for you.

Applecreek Dulcimer
This is a very fun and easy instrument to play. The Dulcimer arrived just a few days after placing the order. I was able to play tunes on the instrument with in 30 mins of getting it set up and tuned up, though the tuning pegs were kind of hard to turn which made tuning a little bit of a challenge. The only other problem with the instrument is that the strings it comes with are not the best, I had to replace them only a moth after receiving the instrument. New strings only cost me about 5 dollars. Over all this is a very nice instrument great for kids and adults, not a lot of musical talent needed to play the dulcimer which makes it great fun for all ages. Id recommend this instrument, it has my approval 95 percent. As a warning, once you get the hang of it it becomes addicting and hard to put down. :)

Pure Unadulterated Caustic Resin
Although not very accessable to first time listeners, this is a tried and true Caustic Resin album. Sometimes I have a hard time knowing where their next record will lead, but they never disappoint. First timers should probably grab "The Medicine is All Gone" first (still my favorite) and work their way into this record. I thnk this is a great album and strongly recommend it to any fan.

I saw something about Howie Day on MTV and downloaded some songs and absolutely loved them. About a month ago I went to Pittsburg and saw him play at the clark's concert. He sounded great, but he's kind of boring to watch in concert. Buy the CD though.. he has great lyrics and a kickass voice.

Not happy
I couldn't find instructions on how to open the darn thing, had to pry open the lid and wasn't sure if I was just breaking it before I used it.And forget about poking everything back in afterward.I have tried this dryer 3 times and never gotten my hair dry. The wattage doesn't seem strong enough to completely fill the bonnett and circulate hot air evenly. I am not generally a complainer, but I can't believe Conair put their name on this piece of junk. I would send it back if I hadn't tried to use it.But, to be fair, I have long thick hair, so it might work ok on somebody else. I totally wasted my money.

I hate when they do this.
As stated before, this is a great DVD but it's already been done with the Five Star Collection MASH DVD. I don't see anything new here. DVD nuts like me really get tired of the studios constantly trying to get us to double dip for the same movie thinking we are going to get some new content. It's ridiculous. If you have Five Star Collection MASH DVD don't bother with this and even if you don't I wouldn't get this version. This package doesn't look as good as the previous release.

Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Very dark, very creepy. 2 of my 4 children cried watching it and kept asking why are we were watching this.... and where is the real Grinch (the original cartoon with Chuck Jones lovely animation and the true to the book narration by Boris Karloff). This on the other hand is a far cry from the original Suess. I love Jim Carey in most of his movies, amazingly talented man, but in this movie his make-up was so grotesque and the tone of the film was so terribly dark that it really did not do well with my 4 young kids. Two thumbs down on this one.

First off when you hear or read about the burn take that an add to 10 times.It is on the pricey side first off but i was willing to try anything, with that said tried it in the morning and yes I said a lot of bad words and shed some tears, then waited. By the afternoon i was more stuffed up then i was in the morning before taking this, so i thought maybe you need to take it a few times before it really started to work so once again I sprayed and swore and cried...and what happend my nasal congestion got even worse to the point I couldn not breath at all through my nose... I wont use again.. not worth the money.. I could of dealt with the burning/stinging if this product work I will say the bruning only lasted 10 seconds at the most...

Not Worth Recommending -- Not Too Believable
It's hard to believe every emotion/feeling/frustration is reflected in a body part or organ. This book contains an entire chart showing what emotional/suppressed feeling causes a certain disease in that part of the body.Surely some diseases are caused by genetics and environment.Feel I wasted my precious $$$$ on this nonsense.

Great for kids and adults
My husband and I love this CD as much as our daughter does. It's great for her to nap to and us to unwind. We've heard it almost every day for 6 weeks and I haven't become sick of it yet. I think it's also great exposure to a culture different then our own with the tie in of people loving their children and expressing and nurturing them through song.

I have used it once. It is OK. The one side of the cutter is plastic.The one I replaced (same brand and model) was Brass. They cheapened it.Not the seller's fault.

SIZING IS WRONG
I order Quiksilver mens Session Thong Sandal, Black/Gum size 9 M US. I received the same and these sandals definitely are UNDERSIZED. You must order 1 size larger or you will return the sandals (as I did)

bummed mommy
this is my 3 year old son's favorite toy. the 10th anniversary buzz and the 10th anniversary woody were gifts at Christmas. Woody lost his arms within a week. Buzz lost a leg within two weeks but my husband managed to fix buzz. tonight Buzz lost an arm and is not fixable. They both had a sound feature that also failed within a week or so. I am disappointed because my son loved them so much and is going to be heartbroken when they need to go in the trash. I would replace but they are junk and well, expensive junk. I wish they had been more durable.

Great game! A must buy for final fantasy fans`
Everything about this game was great. I've played most of the games in the final fantasy series and this game was one of my favorite. The storyline was great and was interesting. The new battle setup was a great addition and I hope they keep it for further final fantasy installments. Bottom line is that I loved this game.

Won't work for more than one season
I've had one of these for 3-4 years now and have had the head replaced every year after having a heated arguement with the manufacturers. NONE of the heads have worked more than 8-9 months. The ONLY positive thing I can say is that it does catch a lot of mosquitos when it's working. Don't waste over $200 on something you'll have to send in for repairs EVERY year. I've bought a Thermacell lantern that does a great job of repelling mosquitos for about $25.

Works great
The extender is easy to set up and works really well at extending the range of the wireless network. I needed the extender to reach a mac on the 2nd floor (while the router is in the basement) and it did as promised. I had some questions for technical support and the folks at D-Link were very helpful.

Good, light Winter Holiday fare.
Any vehicle in which talented Steven Culp appears has merit. Mr. Culp portrays Dr. Kirk Olsen to the fullness of Kirk's personality and actions and adds a tad more (Mr. Culp's work ethic) than the script requires. This remains a fine Christmas (Winter Holiday) film.

so awful...I can't believe there are good reviews for this...
I just did this video and I just can't believe how bad it was...As for the voiceover... I have done dance videos before with voiceover and have never been annoyed.... until this. It was so annoying and the fake laughing she would do throughout was just... gross.As for the workout... can't even call it a workout. Never broke out into heavy breathing and never broke out in a sweat.I am shocked that there are any good reviews... though I guess for someone completely new to Latin moves this may be good for them...That was just a huge waste of time I'll never get back.

All I can say is....wow.
A big fan of Ellroy and crime fiction in general, White Jazz is the best out there. Lieutenant Dave Klein is the epitome of "anthero" and the thought of cops like him both saddens and terrifies me. The love interest is believeable, which is not easy to do in this bleak a story, and the prose style does resemble jazz, and is extremely rewarding after one gets used to it. White Jazz is Ellroy's most experimental and stylish novel to date, and highly recommended for someone looking for something beyond the Leonard/Lehane mold.

two stars for effort
This is not an easy story to develop and pull off so I think the author deserves 2 stars for effort. I was anxious for the book to end and do not recommend it.

A good book that is, sadly, not dated
Although the book takes place in 1946 and concerns rampant anti-semitism, both overt and subtle, it's a book that trancends time. The book's anti-semitism could easily be replaced by any other kind of racism and feel right at home in 2005. The story concerns a liberal Christian writer who takes on a magazine assignment to write about anti-semitism and his angle is to pose as a Jew so he can find out firsthand. It is a rude awakening for him, whether it is a hotel that does not cater to "those people" or a fiancee making off-hand anti-semitic remarks and thinking nothing of it. Some people might get thrown by writing that was done fifty years ago, but it is a book well worth reading.

Kindle version - lost formatting
Once again, the free kindle version is a disappointment. Both the formatting and the illustrations have been lost. In my opinion, the charm of a book like this is often in the accompanying illustrations. It would be better to buy a complete version than download this one.

Huge Disappointment: Little-to-No Technical Content
The first 250 or so pages provide a decent (at best) high-level description of Computer Forensics, but the next 300 pages have little to do with computer crime investigations. It seems as if this book should really be two books: the first book would provide a good overview of computer forensics for those who are not very technical, and the second book (larger book) would be on Information Warfare. If you are looking for a decent book on forensic computing, with a lot of technical meat, this is NOT your book.

If I'd reviewed this a few years ago, I would have given it a 3 instead of 5, but over time, it's grown on me, and is now one of my favorite cinematic tellings of the story.

false advertising: DOES NOT include elastic sports band as claimed!
I am so disappointed! The product description here on Amazon, as well as the description on the back of the DVD case, claims product includes the sports band you need. WRONG! Now I have to hunt down one, wherever they sell the things, just to do the workout that uses it, when it was supposed to be included -- one of the reasons I ordered this instead of another product. I am so mad!

PWC Dolly
I purchased two of the C.E. Smith PWC Dollies. The assembly was a breeze and construction materials were very substantial. We use a hoist to put our water craft into the Colorado River with some frequency and the dollies cradle and move them easily and securely. I'm very satisfied with them and certainly recommend their consideration to anyone looking for PWC dollies.

Spend a little more and get a better unit
Was nice while it worked, which wasn't long. Stopped recognizing dvd's after a few months. I've since bought an LG unit and it's a night and day difference. Cheap price for cheap junk.........so dig a little deeper and get a nicer unit.

Don't Bother
I have to be honest, after getting to chapter five, I could no longer stomach reading anymore of his book. His writing made me feel as though he was paranoid about everything in America. I consider myself a moderate in most issues and after reading this book I realized that the people in the far left are as dangerous as those in the far right.I am kicking myself for actually buying the book as opposed to getting it at the library.

bad, pretentious writing
As an American who coems to India every few months, I am a keen follower of the new burst of English writings here. However this book certainly left a bad taste. I think it was dragging, boring and plain pretentious. God knows how the publishers managed the reviews. The entire story is confusing. U need an Aspirn after page 6. And I can swear that all comparisons with Carver are misplaced. There is no building up of a tale or characterisations. Even the sex is unerotic, seedy and false. What remains in your mind after you complete it is the feeling that you have been conned. Maybe the author needs encouragement, being a new one. However, I dont think this should be at the readers cost !

OK Lights
I bought these lights to outline the sidewalk by the front door of my elderly mother's home so that when she came in at night it would be easier for her to see. These lights are not bright enough to illuminate the sidewalk. They just outline the edge of the sidewalk which I suppose is a good thing, but I was hoping for more. If you are looking something to light up the sidewalk, these are not the ones to buy.

arrived bent
The item arrived bent. I did get a refund, but Amazon and the supplier refused to replace it, so the outcome was that I have to order it all over again. I have another model that works fairly well, but the foam seems to dissolve fairly quickly when it is spooned onto the coffee.

Shop around before buying this one
Set up and installation on this product is not worth the time and effort (I had to return it). You might want to consider a Buffalo Link Station if your looking for a network storage system (set up and operation is smooth as silk).

Iffy
Short & sweet.The graphic are much more that I thought they were going to be. Still no people on the street.The game options are on the limited side, as in I could only have the keyboard for controls & only 2 out of 5 options on my mouse.As probably stated in other reviews, you have to figure things out for yourself (no instructions to guide you unless you look it up on the net). You are shown what your keyboard controls are & they are simular to 18 Wheels Steel Pedal to the Metal.To be personally honest, even though the graphics are not as great, I like the options available on 18 Wheels Steel Pedal to the Metal & more user friendly (although it leaves a lot to be desired).In short: if you are looking for decent graphics, more realistic actions/movements & if you like to figure things out, this is a game you will like.

Not my favorite Godsmack cd
This cd does not work. It sounds so processed at times, way too far the other way for me. I do appreciate them trying to change it up a little, but it's time to get back to the godsmack we love. Bring back the soul!!

Disapointed
After much research I thought this product would live up to its claims....wrong!I wanted a coffee mug warmer to keep the mug warm, this just doesn't cut it.Barely warm is a better description. I sent it back. Still using my old one that I thought was not working properly. It is better than this one was.

Fantastic seat.
Finally, I found a seat I can use comfortably. I am 6'2" and 280 lbs. Got an older racing bike as a gift. Tremendous bike but the seat was one of those slim racing seats. It was killing me. Looked online and read all the reviews. Decided to order this seat based on the reviews. Well, the reviews were right. Installed in a jiffy on the seat post. No problems whatsoever. Took if for a test ride and it felt great. I lowered the tip of it slightly to give the boys a little extra room and it felt even more comfortable. No rubbing between the legs like other reviews said. Fits me like a glove and I can ride for miles now. I would highly recommend this seat.

Do your homework
Over all a pretty good book. I just watched the film Michael Collins and I wanted to read a book about the same subject so I checked out 1916 and 1921. Llywelyn does an quality job of making history come alive but there were several errors that almost ruined the book for me. In the list of characters she writes that the Wolfe Tone the Irish revolutionary died in 1828 when in fact he slit his throat in 1798 after the failed uprising. Is this a mistake on her part or merely a typo? She also wrote that during the Boer War the Boers raised an army from among the native South Africans. If she meant whites born in South Africa this is true. If she meant blacks then this is completly false. The Boers would have fit in with the KKK and would never have fought alongside "kaffirs". I know these points seem trivial but they made me feel uncomfortable reading the book. I wonder if these facts are wrong what other mistakes did I miss?

The Cleanest Your Hair Will Ever Get
This shampoo is amazing. I am African-American with relaxed hair and use a lot moisturizer, olive oil, and hair spray to keep my curls nice and in place. This shampoo removes all of the product build up and still leaves my hair really soft. I use it in conjunciton with Joico KPak cuticle sealer and reconstructor to make my hair strong, yet manageable. I also use another brand's deep conditioner and I would recommend everyone use a deep conditoner after using an intensive protein shampoo and reconstructor like the KPak line.Also, as was stated in the review below, you should probably only use the Chelating shampoo about once, maybe twice, a month. It really does strip everything from your hair.

Another excellent book from the Art of the 20th Century Series
I purchased this book solely on my experience with Themes in Contemporary Art.Varieties of Modernism is the third book in the series and can easily be read independently from the other books. Extremely well written, this book can be read by the general reader who is simply interested in Modernism, its history, the practices on both sides of the globe, and the issues that have arisen from this art movement.An excellent reference book that is up-to-date and as such, an excellent book for those in the throes of studying Visual Arts.

Panasonic Hand Held Tapeless Digital Recorder
I received the digital recorder of a gift and its very good for discussions and also fun just to play around with. It has some very cool function and a fast and slow mode. It has a good amount of memory, but that's about the only bad thing. It fills up pretty fast if your recording something thats very long. It has great sound and is perfect size to fit in your back pocket. All in all its a great digital recorder for the price.

Picky Birds?
The shipment arrived quickly with the product in perfect condition. However, Birds do not come to this cake as readily as another brand and I also found this same item for less at a local retailer. I will not buy them again.
