Name: Alice Title: not the most significant Brant. You might find it cheaper... ...under the entry of its reissue by Phoenix, now that the original Newport CD is out-of-print:Henry Brant. You'll also find my detailed review. The CD collates early and two late works of Henry Brant ("An Era Any Time of Year" from 1987 and "Pathway to Security" from 1990). They are not Brant's most significant compositions and not a first choice if you want to discover the unique voice of this great, outlandish and maverick composer but, for the two later compositions, a welcome complement to other and more significant collections.

That's exactly what I thought after watching my DVD of "Live at the Greek." Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Alice Title: The one-day wonder I was thrilled to find a metal saucer and thrilled again to find one made in the USA. BUT this saucer is as thin as a baking pan. After THREE runs the saucer started to dent, and by the end of the day it was unusable despite being punched back into some semblance of smooth time after time. The red paint was quickly scratched off even on the inside (by the snow boots).I bought this for my daughter and my friend bought one for her daughter, with the same poor results.I still ride my father's 85-yr-old Flexible Flyer sled: they don't make things like they used to!

Name: Alice Title: Yes! I chose an awesome camera! I researched digital cameras for ages. I was told that FujiFilm was a good brand to go with, but every camera I looked at had some issue. Eventually I decided to go with this camera, but was terrified that it would be of bad quality. When I finally got it, I was so relieved. THIS CAMERA IS AWESOME! The pictures are of great quality, and the LCD screen is so clear and big! The only thing that is a bit hard is that the keys are tiny, which might be harder for people with large fingers. I strongly recomend you read the manual, because with my past cameras I missed out on features such as black and white pictures, and being able to crop the pictures ON THE CAMERA!To anyone who just wants a nice camera, but is worried about what to get, go with this camera and you won't be dissapointed.

This is not that different from recent efforts, some OTT situations, BUT Craig is superb. The action scenes are also excellent. I thought afterwards this formula could produce some wonderful Bond remakes/updates - Goldfinger comes to mind. I look forward to future Bond films.

Name: Alice Title: AT LAST - DARYLE SINGLETARY DOES IT. Daryle Singletary is a traditionalist country singer whose self titled debut showed great promise, but it and subsequent releases were dogged by mediocre material and the usual Nashville production.I caught him live in Albuquerque a couple of years ago, (after he'd parted company with Giant and was without a record deal) and concluded that the hard core country music I saw him play was what he needed to get on record. With "That's Why I Sing This Way" he's finally done it. It's a delight to hear Daryl again with quality songs, great musical backup with pedal steel & fiddle right up front - and a guest artist list that includes Dwight, Merle, George, Rhonda V. & Johnny P. This is one of the best Traditional Country releases I've heard this year. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

It is sporadic and makes the camera virtually unusuable. The message goes away after a while all by itself -- usually after the photo opportunity has passed.Gateway has no suggestions on what the problem is. Tech support just sends a new camera and it has the same problem.This is truly disgusting.I am now trying to get get my money back. I have wasted a bunch of money and lots of time.

Name: Alice Title: Help! I suppose that Russell Watson is to fall into the same category as Andrea Bocelli as a love him or hate him tenor. This man's voice is atrocious. It is thin and completely colorless. When I heard excerpts from the CD, I positively cringed. I know that he has won awards, but I absolutely do not understand why. The rags-to-riches story is nice, but the voice itself has no foundation, no richness -- he just hits high notes. If you're going to listen to arias as an introduction to opera, please buy a CD by Domingo or Pavarotti so that you'll know what a tenor should really sound like. Though I'm not crazy about Bocelli singing opera yet (apparently he's working on it), he does have a beautiful, rich, deep quality to his voice as evidenced on "Sogno", his CD of love songs. I wish Watson all the best, but his popularity astounds me. And I love tenors! I only gave this CD one star because zero was not an option.

Name: Bob Title: Help! I suppose that Russell Watson is to fall into the same category as Andrea Bocelli as a love him or hate him tenor. This man's voice is atrocious. It is thin and completely colorless. When I heard excerpts from the CD, I positively cringed. I know that he has won awards, but I absolutely do not understand why.

Name: Alice Title: Useless for 50D Just received one today. When you press the button, it focuses but does not fire. I have seen another reviewer on Amazon who had identical problem--focuses but does not fire. When I tried to remove from the body, it was way too hard. Seemed that you will ruin the three tiny connector pins in the body of 50D. Totally useless for me. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Alice Title: was sent different brand I ordered this brace because I have just gotten off crutches after a serious sprain. I was thrilled when it was delivered a mere 2 days after I ordered it. The brace I was sent was manufactured by a company called Swede-O. My fault with this product is that I trust the Pro-Tec company name and order their brand of protective gear and have never been unsatisfied with the quality.I do not like being misled and not being given the product I ordered.

Name: Alice Title: short working range, picky on mouse-pad or surface color, be aware! I definitely agree with the assessements of other two buyers. This mouse won't fit your palm (the name "mini"), but the most annoying is that it works only on dark, block surface colors like dark blue, and it won't work on green, red, mixed, or white colors. The other thing you need to know is that its maximum working range is < 23' from the USB plug. Don't recommend it. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Alice Title: Backtrack could have been better Backtrack is currently the only First Person Shooter available for the GBA,this means that I have no comparison to others like it. But I can be sure that this is not the limit to this system's capability. First off,the gameplay is just plain boring,since there are very few dirrerent enemies, and the level design barely differs at all. It is also very short, it only has 12 levels where as every other FPS games for the GBA has at least 20. This game also throws you right into gameplay without telling you anything about whats going on. Overall,I'd wait for Doom,Ecks vs Sever,or Dark Arena. But if you can afford it, this game still has it's fun points(though few and far apart). Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Alice Title: Short and Easy to Do I read this short book in just a couple hours and by the end I had a working budget that is doable for my family's lifestyle. I really like the idea of having separate monthly monetary limits on personal pocket money, family allowance and personal allowance. I definitely had the Starbucks syndrome, where I spend so much money on lunches, coffee and snacks that I was frittering away thousands a year. Having only a certain amount in cash each week in my pocket for all of these little expenses has been really helpful, and I don't have write down everytime I buy a coffee. I also really like the separate savings accounts - for the must fund, rainy day fund, want fund, and other contingencies like insurance and taxes. I just put a certain amount away in a separate account each month and then just pay it when some it comes due. Perfect if you just want a quick guide to making a helpful and uncomplicated budget.

Name: Alice Title: don't waste your time DON'T EVEN BOTHER with this one. As with most parents, we give in to buying these hot wheels sets because they look cool and we have "toy amnesia". The only hot wheels set that has ever really worked was the fireball from a few years ago.This set took over an hour to put together and looked like it may be a neat track. However, the car does not make it through the first loop. I tried everything and it still doesn't work. So after all that effort, I will be returning this.I hope you will heed my advice and not waste your time. If you do decide to go ahead and try it for an Xmas gift, definitely give yourself time to put it together ahead of time. Happy Holidays.

Name: Alice Title: TERRIBLE!!!! I only found out about this movie because I was searching the shelves of my local Blockbuster for something to watch. After reading the back it seemed interesting. The movie is a low budget horror movie(which I don't mind) about a group of scientist who are researching the H1M1 disease, during the film they become infected and they become trapped in their workspace. The movie has poor lighting, not very good acting, and the plot really doesn't make sense sometimes. If I had a fatal disease and I was trying to escape and survive would I all of a sudden try to make out and have sex with someone? Bottom line do not rent even if you love horror movies like me, just pass on it, trust me. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Then Snoopy is picked up as a stray by a girl who ties him to a rope and drags him around by the neck choking him. On top of all that is a very weak story, lots of crying by the Peanuts gang, and just really - nothing good to come from watching this at all.

As adults, they can tear apart the Puppy Kongs, which isn't too surprising since they're designed to be softer. We bought this product because we thought it would hold up for a few years.

If there is a mom out there who wants to know what their teenage son is thinking about, this movie explains it all. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:
Bob
