Saying a prayer backwards might be good for the movies, but other than being borderline gibberish, borderline teenybopper rebel satanist, is not a good way to truly start.

Otherwise, \"San Quentin\" is strictly routine. Pat O'Brien makes the most of his contrived role as the reform-minded captain romancing Bogart's sister (a miscast Ann Sheridan). The clichéd proceedings are briefly enlivened by a road-gang escape and ensuing chase. Unfortunately, the Hays Office took the sting out of this Warner Bros. programmer.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: This was really stupid.\nText: Animal Farm is a satire of a tyranical/Communist government. Even though it has animals as the main characters, it isn't for children. Apparently, the filmmakers did not realize it, and turned this brilliant novel into a cutesy, Disney-esque cartoon. It was just really, really bad.\n", "output": "very negative" }, { "input": "Title: beautiful music, but....\nText: I love classical music. But I expected this CD to be played as Paul's unique style of music; kind of jazzy, precise and cheerful. In this album, two thirds of 12 tracks were recorded with new arrangement by Paul's way, but the rest(track 1,2,3 & 11) were performed like original classics. As for \"Andante from piano concerto no. 21 by Mozart\", the old version(maybe recorded in 70's) is a lot better...more than I can say.If I had wanted to listen to original classics for these titles, I would chosen Karajan or Bernstein. That is why I rate this CD as 3 stars. ....Paul, you don't have to be a Karajan even in performing classics. I just want your own style!!...Best tracks : \"Twilight Serenade\"(written by Paul) and \"Intermezzo from Carmen\"\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Very poor quality - badly designed\nText: My son got this for his birthday and was very excited to play with it. Setting it up became a nightmare because the \"3-D Buildings\" touted by the game were nearly impossible to put together. Attempting to put them together involves trying to insert many small, flimsy card board tabs into small, badly cut slots. My son was in tears, and frankly, I almost was, too. Frustrating! I finally managed to cobble them together enough to start the game, but since they kept falling apart during game play we finally had had enough and quit.

After discovering he has a brother, Spider, he becomes curious and wants to meet him. Spider is everything Charlie is not, handsome, cool etc. But after inviting Spider into his life he is very difficult to extricate.I found Anansi Boys to be merely okay. Fat Charlie (I can't stand the nickname), was just too much of a sad sack for me to get into. The humor (lets make Fat Charlie look as stupid as possible), just added to my dislike of this book. I don't really like to read about the protagonist constantly getting humiliated and made a dupe of. What's so exciting, amusing about that? Spider interested me until he became interested in Rosie.Meh. 3 Stars. Not my thing I guess.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: A great read!\nText: This is one of those rare books that truly shocks the reader. The twist the story takes is wrenching.

Is there redemption in death? Don't miss this one!\n", "output": "very positive" }, { "input": "Title: OLIVER!\nText: It is certainly the definitive version of Dicken's classic story. Polanski's canvas of visual depth and human population is striking. The hellish orphanage looks like the hull of an unfortunate slave ship, and the City of London is a paradox of dangerous alleyways and sky kissing church steeples. If there is a weak link, it is the young actor who plays Oliver, who seems merely a director's product, although it may be Polanski's intent to use a novice in presenting the innocence of a child. The rest of the cast is remarkably indebted to their characters.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: Terrible disappointment.\nText: Like so many others, I tracked Spore's development for years and jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. What I received was a DRM-crippled, dumbed-down product which fails to deliver on its promising premise. So much has already been written, so I'll just mention that the fact that the stats in the Creature Creator are calculated completely differently from the stats in Spore itself is a terrible let-down. It removes a great layer of potential strategy from the game and pigeon-holes creatures into predictable skill-sets.\n", "output": "very negative" }, { "input": "Title: A much-needed return to form\nText: This is definitely the Madonna we've been missing, but didn't even know it.

The science was a bit over my head and apparently fairly accurate (in the sense of theories and accuracy). This book- written over thirty years ago- still has some resonance in our times. The theories are just as fair as any we have for our existence. I enjoyed the \"para\" world and its inhabitants- in fact this was my favorite part of the book.The book is not without its flaws, but for a fan of science fiction it was pretty good.

However when trying to find a replacement blade, I could not get the replacement part.This looper performs better than any we have tried. We maintain 25- heavily wood acres in the country. The Corona Clipper FL-3420 would cut a 1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter branch with less effort. I would like to reorder or replace just the blade.

The month after warranty expired it wouldn't open and said \"BLOCKED\". I called and was told to unplug it and press \"ON\" when replugging. \"BLOCKED\" again came up. It does not even have screws you can unscrew yourself without special tool. I lost hours of recordings when it would shut itself off during record or play modes! Over priced even if it did work for more than a few months.I'll NEVER buy Magnavox again because of bad product and run around service guy who said \"It is probably past warranty, they all should be\" It shouldn't have been on the market.\n", "output": "very negative" }, { "input": "Title: My favorite harmonica\nText: The Lee Oskar has become my favorite harmonica, specifically this one in low F. Magnificent sound and very easy to play. I have played more than 15 different harmonicas and this particular brand and low F key is the best of them all. Highly recommend. If a reed goes on this one I would immediatelyreplace the whole instrument. Only costs about $30, which is a bargain for this wonderful harp.

Also, I liked the fact that there is a mole and that someone right next to you could destroy the whole game. However, the interactive games and such used to get more clues are not made well. Though you try to do what it tells you to do, it doesn't seem to work. Since these interactive parts are so simple, yet not made in a way that one can control what is going on, you waste your time trying to do them and you never get to the end. I had three college students and two adults try it adn no one could seem to get it to work correctly. So, if some bugs were worked out, this game could be a much bigger success.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Great nonstick pan, bad lid\nText: This pan's nonstick properties are a league above Circulon's (my previous nonstick pan). It is incredibly easy to clean. The lid, however is a different story. The glass is easy enough to clean, but I have noticed that grease gets stuck in the grooves (where the glass meets the stainless steel). The pan alone is worth the price, so I would purchase it again. Otherwise, I prefer the Commercial Nonstick line, which has (one-piece) stainless steel lids.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: 3.5 stars Love and Hate It\nText: Chansons pour le corps is an invigorating piece in 4 movements. It is experimental and diverse enough (instrumental, singing, speech) that you find yourself engaged at every turn. My French is spotty, but I was drawn in all the way, alternately looking up some words on the internet and just letting the music wash over me when I got lost. When the piece ended, I wanted to listen again. That's the love it part. Et Si Tout is perhaps just too personal to the composer and experimental a piece for me to connect with. Again, if one is fluent in French, it might be better, but after loving Chansons, I didn't have the patience to endure this 35 min let down. Would I still buy the disc, given what I know now? Yes. Chanson and track 5 run a solid 40 min; I don't feel cheated. I just ripped the first 5 tracks to my computer and put the disc away. The limitations here are likely mine vs the composer's, yet I think most listeners would share those limitations.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: The large ones fall hardest\nText: I love this game, you can play as Wing Zero Custom, DeathScythe Hell Custom, Burning Gundam, Gundam Maxter, or Gundam in the street modes.

I do have a lot of Herbie Hancock's stuff, and I don't feel that this music holds together well as independent compositions. It's really dark music as well in terms of its tonality and mood; probably very appropriate for the scenes it accompanies but a little depressing to me heard in stark isolation. I'd recommend this for Hancock completists, but all of his Blue Note albums, Headhunters stuff, even the Warner Brothers recordings would come way in advance of this one.--SD\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Torn in 2 weeks in city driving alone!\nText: Installed new shocks for the rear of my 1999 Toyota Sienna van; bought these boots to protect my investment but 2 weeks after installation, upon inspection found both boots to be torn.

The were a little disappointed. The animation is a little dated and the acting/reading was a bit too dead pan for their taste. They seemed to just be reading their lines and not acting them out.The movie follows the book closely but my kids were a little sad that it only included Christian's journey and not Christiana's as well. I had to explain that the movie was already an hour long and that it would take that long again and some to tell the other story as well.Overall It was fine. My kids watched the whole thing but I don't think it will become a favorite. I was hoping for more but got about what I thought it would be. Perhaps I will try a live action version instead.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Great toy\nText: I bought this for my daughter about a month ago and she quickly figured out how to get the gumballs to roll out. She was trying to play with it before I even got it out of it's box in fact. She loves to make all the balls come out at once instead of waiting for the music to finish but that's ok. She loves anything that lights up and since we live in a small town with only a Walmart to buy toys at these kind of toys are hard to find. She especially loves the ball with the smaller balls inside (she's also obsessed with rattles). This toy is very durable so far and I love it. Fisher Price makes some of the best toys around and I love the Peek a Blocks concept and now the Peek a Balls.\n", "output": "very positive" }, { "input": "Title: I like Wakeman with \"Yes\" and \"Strawbs\" but not alone\nText: I saw Wakeman on stage at the time of his solo career, and I didn't like it.I heard his solo albums and I never liked them.Why? I think because it's too much influenced by old classical music, the kind I also do not like.With the bands \"Yes\" and \"Strawbs\", the progressive trend and orientation of the rest of the group was perhaps forcing Wakeman to dig in that same direction, and that resulted in some really outstanding musical discoveries.But left alone...Maybe another reason for me not to like the solo albums is my tendency to favor music in minor (which sounds rather sad) as opposed to music in major (which sounds more \"happy\" if I can say that)Apart from this, I have to agree that Wakeman is technically very powerful. And lots of my friends did love these albums at the time they came out.So I suppose it's purely a question of taste in the end.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Its ok....For awhile\nText: It was a pretty good phone for awhile.

This account supposedly true is \"war porn\" at it's worst. Gratuitous in it's descriptions of the death and depravity of the fighting on the Eastern Front and in the style of 10cent Western. One had to wonder if this story is actually true. A description of the sniper shooting Russian T34 tanks through the \"petrol\" tanks and causing an explosion capable of disabling the tank is hard to swallow considering T34 tanks run on diesel, which is notoriously hard to ignite.

I gave up after that and just requested a refund and went out and bought one myself but could not find one I liked as much as this one.

Fahrenheit 451 is not far-fetched though. I think some of the material mentioned in this book really could happen in the future if we let it. This is a fairly good book overall, but I'm rating it a 2 out of 5 stars because I was just confused. I am a freshmen in high school and my whole Literature Pre-AP class had to read Fahrenheit 451 for an assignment. Now I know what you're probably thinking, well of course it's going to be confusing for a freshmen. But, I beg to differ. This book is written good I suppose, but the story jumps around too much and certain parts come up and it is just plain confusing (i.e. Dentham's Dentifrice). Well that is about all I have to say about this novel. I'm sure if I read it over again I would enjoy it more.

RCA gets points for supporting Divx, commercial skip and HDMI out.However, this model is missing features and has a couple bugs. My biggest gripe is that RCA removed the \"Split Title\" feature which is a useful way to perform basic edits and to free up disc space. Also, the title screen doesn't always display correctly when playing finalized discs in other DVD players.

However (and I don't know if I can get away with stating this here), the recording is more widely available in Europe and you can acquire it via the web through European sellers whose prices are a good deal more reasonable.

This hodgepodge comes together on the closer, \"You're No Fun\" (if Steeley Dan and the Ramones had a baby, it would sound like this), which somehow combines over-the-top prog-rock synthesizers and 1970s jazz-rock, capped by a frenetic neo-punk rock climax.

So he could sell more records obviously. This album just doesn't cut it, when Brian Leisgang was still in the band Filter had very hard and yet sophisticated sound that was showcased well on its debut album Short Bus.

As for the scenery, the giant tree that is the theme in all four acts is fine for act 1 (the garden) and act II (the town square, but is rather silly as the wall of the sitting room in act III and is totally ridiculous in Act IV where Werther's death bed in his bedroom is under this tree.

I know the end is how the book ends (I have not read the book) but for us who remember and love the 1969 John Wayne version you will not like this one as much if at all. It was an odd movie all the way through and I kept thinking it was going to get better and bust out with action...but no.

The man who stars in this video may know a lot about fighting and martial arts, but when he picks up a whip, he reminds me of Joe Piscopo from the karate movie, Sidekicks. This whip instructor looks like he is just swinging wildly about as he attempts to show different strikes with the whip. In theory he has some good information, but the execution is less than poor. In comparison with several other cracking videos I recently received, the professional crackers show much more finesse and fluid movement and frankly I would be much more frightened to attack one of them than this guy. As I said, he really knows how to fight, but I would recommend he take some lessons on how to crack and then re-shoot his video.

She also explores the relationship of the young lovers Brianna and Carre as they begin to cross over into adulthood.

The new moves are the same, but there is less of the boxing emphasis I love. The best part about Tae Bo is kicking and punching and I feel like in an attempt to include the amplifier bar they left that by the way-side a bit.It is a great fat burner and will get your heart rate up, but if you were a fan of the old Tae Bo you may be a bit disappointed.

It is entertaining, a film parents can trust to allow children of all ages watch, and is equally entertaining for adults. I would by no means put it on par with some of the Disney classics. However, that being said this is by far one of the best films Disney has done in the past 20 years. This film has the feel of one of the classic Disney films prior to the 1980's. A thoroughly enjoyable movie for all ages (I can't say that for all of Disney's recent releases).My version of this movie comes with two short films. One is the history of the rat, which is actually very educational and informative. The other short is moderately entertaining but nothing I feel deserves more than a passing comment.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: Not worth it\nText: I bought this as a Black Friday special to replace a Linksys Wireless B router.

I am often surfing and my laptop will disconnect; when I try to reconnect I am unable to do so. The router has to be restarted and for those of you who have done it you know it is a time-consuming process. The router, cable modem, and both computers have to be restarting. Takes all of 10 minutes.To me it just wasn't worth it. I am using my linksys router again and will probably do so until I NEED to replace it.

Unfortunately there are cheat codes that find their way into the multi-play. So, for example, if you are playing flagball and someone is using speed-cheat, forget it, the game is over. And there is almost always at least one person cheating. Artillery support in King of the Hill is equally ruinous of any fun.I definitely wish I had picked up another game.

None of the characters were endearing and it was a challenge to care about what happened to them. Also, in real life, there would be no chemistry between Downey's character and the female lead, Ms. Monaghan. Her history and the reprehensible manner in which she treats him would preclude his devotion (unless he was a complete masochist). Further, and to my disappointment as I'm an extremely politically incorrect person, I found all the gay jokes about Kilmer's Perry obtuse.

The specter portends two horrible events, and on the third occasion portends the death of the signalman himself. It wasn't out of morbid sentiment that Dickens made this his ending, but it serves his heartfelt sentiment for those kind souls who were born into misfortune, were caste into misfortune by evil personages, or, like here, who squandered it through some series of hapless bad choices.

It lacks several of the dishes I've had in Turkish restaurants, including the dessert kazandibi.

Tolstoy rambles too much to make the story truely *interesting*, and Ivan Ilyich's untimely and meaningless end left me wondering \"well, then, what was the point of writing the story?\" The only factor that convinced me to give this book two stars instead of one was that at least the fellow gave it a really good try. Basically, it's too flat to cater to those who enjoy poetic or \"flowery\" writing, any messages Tolstoy manages to put across seem obvious and clichéd, and the characters have even less depth than the story. Furthermore, Tolstoy's apparent feeling about the nature of humanity is bleaker than Poe's. So if you want to read something meaningful with a mildly religious feel, go for George MacDonald or Peter S. Beagle and at least get a little enjoyment out of it.

A word to the wise, study everthing you can get your hands on. This book was very readable unlike the Cisco Press material. The CD questions gave me a false sense of security. They were nothing like the exam. ISDN was stressed heavily on the test and it was pretty light in the book. I recount my rating to 4 stars because, with this book alone you will not pass the exam if you are completely new to this field. You will get some good basic concepts down and it is a good read. On to CCDA, I'll pack a lunch for this one.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: A Below average effort\nText: Back in the old days, Madonna had some pretty good pop tunes, if not overly \"deep,\" but on American Life, she's starting to run out of ideas- making it seem very stale and lifeless. Madonna's problem is that she's trying way too hard to fit it with the current pop trends...it doesn't work. It makes her look desperate. The one thing that will keep Madonna from being able to achieve true respect and longevity, past the 20 yr. mark, is that unfortunately she is not blessed with a true singer's voice. She's so limited in her ability to 'measure up' with the true vocalists, it will only hurt her in the long run. Also, her bag of tricks have run dangerously low, and the public is quickly losing interest, and moving on to fresher acts. There's really nothing left after that.\n", "output": "very negative" }, { "input": "Title: talking dora doll\nText: We got the Dora doll for our granddaughter thinking it was going to be more educational.

The conducting is extremely slow, overly detailed and precious, which is why this is the only BUTTERFLY on three CDs --- therefore the expense is something else that might cause someone to another recording.For fans of Freni, a less expensive alternative to this recording is the video that was made at the same time of the recording.

It was a quasi-hypnotic music with much emphasis on dark, sexual overtones and lots of heavy beat and drums. it was played in underground dance clubs and old, abandoned warehouses, sometimes degenerating into all-night drugfests, otherwise referred to as \"raves.\" Although some of this culture was far from exemplary, its musical heritage and legacy are still apparent in today's techno and acid jazz movements.

Having a notorious criminal getting an operation to change his appearance is one thing, but to have a known world terrorist operated on for a brain tumor and the lengths he goes to have the delicate surgery was a fresh take on the subject. I could easily see this being made into a movie as it moved along at a good clip, kept you guessing along the way and had a character you'd love to hate (the chief of surgery).

It's an easy-read, but.... not as compelling & riviting as I hoped.Speak Softly started strong, then lulled me to boredom as the weak Carole Mason allows herself to be tortured by the grossly unlikeable Eddie & her supposed friend Naomi. While Carole was understandably scared and vulnerable, she naively allows herself to be tortured by Eddie & Naomi for a good portion of her young life.The story picks up and moves a bit quicker toward the last quarter, has a few interesting twists. But by the end, I was mostly just irritated because the only reason Carole was trapped by her secret was because she allowed herself to be trapped to begin with. Generally speaking, most of the characters were too shallowly drawn to allow the reader to become fully engaged in Carole's story.Although Speak Softly's not bad, it's certainly not great.\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: aMAZEing Book!\nText: This is not only a book of challenging mazes, it is like entering a magical world.

As she learns to live again, we are right there with her and learn much about our own thoughts and feelings. What would we do if our lives were twisted in a way such as her's was?

I like that.The only real draw-back to the game is that so many prizes are almost impossible to get and usually the same ones get tried for over and over again. This can make for a longer game than necessary. And, if you're playing with people who are not risk takers, the game gets a little slow and predictable.The low educational rating is due to the fact that the game doesn't require that player to do anything but count and remember.Overall, this is a great little game to buy for the whole family.

I wish that the most recent edition of Collision Course had reviewed some of this new evidence. As an eyewitness to the historic event, and having survived it along with my family, I have researched much of the information available to nautical scientists, maritime lawyers, and survivors.

The cinematography is wonderful, as you would expect with a Lynch film and the acting is particularly strong. These actors are not beautiful Hollywood stars, but average looking people with lots of talent. The story, as Lynch tells it is heartwarming without being hokey at all, it's funny, yet remains true to the story.

I think this is why we are left with incompletely fleshed out characters. The premise of the book ( expatriation from European nobility to American homgenation) has been written before and better. There are pages of beautiful descriptive writing to be sure - Sontag is well practiced at her craft - but in the end we are left not really caring about the stolid, laborious venture through which we've waded.

This book did raise my own consciousness.The stories are well written in English, and are captivating.

An accomplished swordsman, however, events will conspire to shatter his vision of domestic bliss. Called upon by the reigning warlord to avenge a blood feud, Seibei Iguchi will find himself once again forced to draw his sword in anger. (Yes, that's the same plot as 1000 other Samurai and Cowboy flicks, but the story-telling really sets this one apart).That said, though the story is 1st rate, the poor video transfer of the U.S. DVD release mars the experience. It is not even a 16:9 Anamorphic transfer, but merely a 4:3 letterbox screening. Show this film on a screen bigger than 13\" and you'll weep.

When two girls insulted Apple he frowned, and when Heather was patting or riding him, he smiled.

The prehistoric culinary history spanning the Greek and Romans is fascinating, as is the rediscovery of these \"excesses\" under the watchful eyes of the church.

Some have said that it is churchy, but since this is the things that he has experienced in his journey, he must express them how he saw and felt them, be it churchy or not.

In one lengthy passage, the author uses old and new James analysis to make a case for Lou Whitaker being severly underrated and having had more value to his teams than Ernie Banks or Lou Brock to theirs. Whether you agree or disagree, or you like Bill James or don't, this book is pretty fascinating. Some reviewers have complained about the structure, but I found it a fun and easy read.

The mother and four sisters are almost completely selfish and self-motivated, often at the expense of their children or siblings, although one sister is perhaps a little better than the rest. This is not my favorite work by Ruth Rendell writing as Barbara Vine but I think it is one of the most memorable.

From the driving beats of the singles \"The Hand That Feeds\" and \"Only\" to the harder edgier sound of \"Getting Smaller\", this CD is all a NIN fan could have hoped for after their 6 year break. Some of the other, more industrial-like tracks, are reminiscent of the album The Downward Spiral, a favorite among many fans. Though some of the songs on the album are a bit dull and repetitive, the good certainly outweighs the bad. It's not their best album, but I think that With Teeth was a great effort at a new sound that pleases old fans and new ones as well.\n", "output": "positive" }, { "input": "Title: Nice Idea\nText: This phone is an expandable handset to the KX-TG5776S.

Sometimes it seems like I get a \"tie\" -- pick one, open it, if the tone doesn't stop, it's the other one.

When I first heard this record, Balin and Slick's voices seemed to me to be shaped to resemble dueling Yardbirds-like guitars, and they still do. The whole group is tight on this record, and very attentive to each other. You just don't hear this kind of work on other SF groups from the period-a mix of well-rehearsed instrumentation and improv.

The mixing is a little dense, and the band is let down by a rather lugubrious drummer.

By now I am totally invested in the different characters populating her books, and I definitely wasn't disappointed to see more interaction between the siblings. However, as another poster put it, the ending was so disjointed it was almost like someone else wrote it after reading the last page of the previous chapter. It also left me with the feeling that this was the end of the series, which I hope is not the case.I visit Sharan's website www.sharannewman.com and there was no information about upcoming books, but I certainly hope this isn't the end of Catherine LeVendeur.

The vampires are way more in line with my personal preferences on how they would behave; rather than trying to sexually seduce or hypnotize a victim, they just tear them apart.

There are plenty of good jokes (like the out of focus actor, played surprisingly subtly by Robin Williams) and set pieces.

With the blades so close together, hair easily gets clogged between them, requiring more work to take out and clean. And clean you must, since it's hard to continue shaving when there's hair worsening the blades' gliding/cutting performance.

Petty's previous slingshots at the music industry (a line in the title song from INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN, for instance) seemed to convey a sense of defiant independence, but here, Petty just seems to sound cynical and nasty, without any idea of a remedy for the problem of music-biz greed and corruption. The previous inspirational lyrics (\"Refugee\" and \"Even The Losers\" from DAMN THE TORPEDOES and \"I Won't Back Down\" from FULL MOON FEVER are wondrous examples) have, sadly, been replaced by mean-spirited hopelessness that cannot be mitigated by his advocacy of sanctions against Indonesia in the wake of that country's trumped-up drug-smuggling conviction against a young Australian tourist. It turns out that Petty is releasing a new album at the end of this year or the beginning of next, so let's hope it's less cynical and more hopeful than this one.\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Poor construction\nText: This sunglasses looks fake and fragile, it looks nice in your face but I have serious doubts about the quality\n", "output": "negative" }, { "input": "Title: Well played and well done\nText: I picked this CD up after listening to a few tracks.

There were a couple of things in the plot that weren't developed/explained, but again, the book is worth reading even so.In my opinion, Koontz's best books are \"Watchers\", \"Dark Rivers of the Heart\", and \"The Face\".

However, most of the research comes from published sources, with a couple of notable exceptions, and some battles, for example, White Plains, are glossed over so quickly one best not blink.

Also, the pianist that accompanies them has a deft way of supporting the vocals without overwhelming them or becoming underwhelming himself. It's a balancing act of pure magic. The Hannibal CD has superb sound quality (considering the age of these recordings)--it really sparkles--and great selections. This is music you can listen to when you're happy, when you're sad, when you want to do a little two-step for the heck of it, when you want to think. It's versatile. It's perfect.

Cleaning up spilled milk takes longer than transferring to bags from bottles. These are really awkward to use if you only have two hands (which I'm pretty sure most, if not all nursing moms do). The seals are really finicky and I'm always scared the bags are going to bust open in my pump bag on the way home from work. I've also had issues with the holes for the attachment \"hooks\" ripping. Add in the limited space for milk (5 oz as opposed to Lansinoh's 6oz bags with room to spare) and the milk that gets above the zipper seal while you're pumping (even with a Pump In Style), and these are just a bad product.

The powder is very fine and doesn't clump as much as other products (like EAS 100% whey).I only give 4 stars because I am a water + protein mixer and do not like the taste of the strawberry. I have tried all of the other flavors and would give them 5 stars (especially choc mint) but the strawberry is lacking somewhat.

I bent up a large paperclip to replace it and it worked better than the original earpiece. (Put some tape on the paperclip, it can be a little rough on the ears.)

I hope that the ending of the book is meant to be ironic, that they all decided to adopt plastic smiles like the rest of the world; but the author either betrayed their original intention, or was forced to change it. As for The Last Supper: what the hell was that all about? I'm getting sick of manga publishes just throwing in random stories by the same author just for the hell of it.

The later is a matter of personal taste, but to me the craftsmanship was not equal to the story. Of the characters, the only ones I really cared for were the woman.

One of the inspirations for his memoirs was Napoleon's subsequent denial of the importance of the partisans in this phase of the war.

The primary concern is with things that are worthy of being deemed \"history\" in the grand sense, and in order to make historical arguments, Davidov relies heavily on hearsay. Among his goals are (1) to document and to take credit for his own achievements as a leader of partisans; (2) to explain, to analyze and to critique strategic and tactical decisions of other leaders; (3) to explain important military events in terms of their less well-known causes; (4) to share his experience of famous military leaders (he gives a lengthy characterization of Suvorov, and decribes his observations of Napoleon).\n", "output": "neutral" }, { "input": "Title: Not what I was expecting..\nText: Being a fan of Ryan Scully's other ventures, I figured that Id like this album.

I do appreciate the author's evident sense of wonder. Unfortunately, much of that wonder is wasted on a narcissistic insistence that the Wonder is Wolfram's Alone (courtesy Mathematica).

It's most important feature is that you can clean and maintain it as often as you want without having to replace it.You simply cannot expect a high performance gain from a filter installed in the stock filter box, in a stock, low-rev engine. Yes, it sounds better at high rev and maybe adds a couple of HP, but that's not really noticeable in an engine with 160HP to boot with. Even a CAI would not benefit that engine that much - not without a proper ECU remap.

As serious theology, or Scriptural analysis, it is weak.For those who want a systematic exposition and discussion of the Scriptural, Historical and Theological bases for Universalism, Talbott's book is far better.

The answer will probably not surprise you so, when a woman senses this in a man, even if he is expressing it for another woman, said woman will want it, at any cost.
