Title: An off-shade of Green
Review: None of the earlier reviews comment on the pricing for this Green book on burial:$8.49 for the Printed version (killing trees, polluting the environment, etc)$11.99 for the Kindle version (much greener)Amazon's pb price: $10.20If you're going to endorse "Green," you should probably practice what you preach in your publishing. I'll happily go green, but I won't pay more to get less, just to increase someone's profit margin.If Green is to succeed it needs a greater audience than just people who can afford to pay more, and the smug "my carbon footprint is smaller than yours" competitive out-do-gooders.Just a thought.

Title: Extremely useful information everyone needs to know
Review: With a completely objective approach, Mr. Harris has researched thoroughly many various aspects of burial/funeral procedures and options, giving the reader detailed information about specific processes and choices available to the consumer. Each chapter ends with a concise wrap-up of things you need to know - a great feature of this book. No detail is unexplored. What some may consider untouchable subject, Mark Harris has developed into a very professional and dignified outcome.Every family should consider this book a MUST for the shelf. Though no one wants to think of the inevitable, all should want to be prepared early on, and this book gives you the information you NEED to know.A ShortridgeSan Diego, CA

Review: I was fortunate enough to receive this wonderful cookbook as a gift...I have enjoyed making a number of the incredible recipes ~ particularly the salmon fillets in puff pastry and the Boston salad with pears, blue cheese and walnuts. What perfect items for a dinner party ~ easy and a beautiful presentation. My guests think I've been slaving in the kitchen for days!

Title: Posadas is New Mexico
Review: I have read all of Steve Havill's books. It there is a bad one out there I haven't found it. The Gastner series and Posadas series are fantastic. I lived in New Mexico for 52 years, and he has captured the spirit of New Mexico and it's people. If you like these books you are going to love his new series of medical mysteries. And if you are lucky enough to find his earliest works, you will love them too. I have been able to find Timberblood, Leadfire, The Worst Enemy, and The Killer. All are great reads. Thank you Steve Havill; I'm waiting for your next book. In the mean time I'll re-read them and throw in my one of a kind "Oh, Really" short story.

Title: not for writing appellate briefs
Review: The tone of much of this book is condescending, the ideas oversimplified. This made the suggestions in this book, while they could be somewhat useful, offensive and almost useless to read (e.g., when analyzing your side and "their" side, identify "potential 'goods'" and "potential 'bads'"). Give me a break.And the model brief -- let's just say if you use the one in this book as a model, you will make a fool of yourself. Take a look instead at Garner's Legal Writing in Plain English - good advice without simplistic language or broken grammar rules. The whirlybird is the best, plus the book helps you get off the ground if you're stuck beginning.

Title: Terrible.
Review: Doggeral trash at best. A horrible 'guide' that will influence future hacks to create their own trashy lazy work at worst. This book promises originality in its title but then goes on to show a bunch of amateurish imitative artwork as its examples. That the author trashes other 'how to draw manga' books is laughable when this book is such poor quality. I suspect that the people giving positive reviews of this waste of money are more swayed by the pretentious and misguided text in it than by the author's actual teaching or drawing talent. Want manga in your own unique style? You are better off studying traditional drawing technique without manga influence and then evolving into your own style as a consequence of being a strong artist regardless of whether you draw manga style or not. You will learn more about drawing better quality Manga through the teachings of George Bridgeman or Robert Beverly Hale than you will trusting an over-opinionated hack artist who trashes other mediocre talent.

Title: Best step by step in the comic publishing genera.
Review: This is hands down the best step by step instructional book on Manga/publishing on the market. Very in-depth with complementary real life scenarios in the world of comic developing. It explains a brief history of the subject matter, a good chapter on anatomy, and a whole portion of the book on pushing your material at conventions and online. This makes all of my other "how to" books on Manga and Comic creating seem very over-rated.Though this book has been around a while, I hope this book manages to set the standard for all "How to" books in the Manga & Comic world.

Title: Two levels of thinking
Review: Una's Jungle Journey was very fascinating. In reading it I found it had two levels of thinking, it had the wonderful story line for children. And it had a more thought provoking spiritual side for the more adult readers. Myself, being in between those levels I experienced a wonderful mix of some thought provoking ideas and an amazing story. I would recommend this book for all ages. It was amazing reading it and feeling the same sense of discovery that Una was going through. One of the many parts, which I would call my favorite, was the part about the lion. The lion came upon Una and explained courage and the many different lion kings, Una hadn't thought of herself as courageous but this lion came along and posed a threat to her and her journey. She stood up for herself and used her brain and cunning to find the strength to out think one of the kings of the jungle.

Title: This book should be a part of every grade school's library
Review: My husband and I both read Una's Jungle Journey and decided we'd like our kids and grandkids to have it, too. I had my friend read the book who's taught grade school for 30 years. She thought it should be put in the schools for classroom reading and that worksheets should be made for it. She ordered three books (and her neighbor wants one, too). One of the books was especially for her daughter-in-law who is writing a children's book. We really enjoyed reading Una's story. It was very easy to picture Una's adventure, because the book is so descriptive.

Title: A Very Late Review of Riverdance (the Show)
Review: I'm not the sort to give things a bad review because it is 'cool and trendy'. Way too old for that. But I have to say that I am glad I checked this video out at the rental store before buying.Really it's quite bad. Not that the dancing isn't phenomenal (Michael rules!), but it lacks soul. Hubby and I like Celtic music --old "Shepherd's Hey" fans-- and we get to see Celtic dancing locally (though amateur) and we both found this video disappointing.The principal problem is the 'homogenization' of the singing. It is sort of Celtic music for elevators. The second problem is the Flamenco dancer. Having seen a top rank group from Spain at Wolftrap, I have to say that this lady has got no 'attitude' and the music.... please, don't get me started.Two Stars. Could have used a plot. Could have used some 'edge' to both the singing and dancing. Lots of people adore this video but if you are a fan of traditional Irish dance and song, you might want to rent first.

Title: Where the hell is Eileen Ivers?
Review: Michael Flatley IS Riverdance even if he is an arrogant jerk. His performance is electric! HOWEVER, I bought this video to see EILEEN IVERS on her blue fiddle and couldn't find it on the tape. She's on the CD of the same name doing a piece called "The Harvest". What's up with that? The video I rented at the store featured her. I feel a little ripped off...

Title: I Don't See Why People Like This
Review: I'm sorry, but I really don't! It's a style called Celtic Drama, which means it's a combination of stories w/o words and traditional Irish Dancing.I've never been a Michael Flatley person.Parts of this are traditional Irish dancing, but other's aren't anywhere near it! There are also long songs, sort of like a choir piece. I don't like those at all.If you want to see traditional Irish dancing, this is not your movie.

Ya tenía el video y estaba maravillado por la excelencia y calidad en su totalidad de la puesta en escena; no puedo mas que decir que ambos espectaculos (video y en vivo) son ESPECTACULARES, quizás el sentir la música en vivo hace tener mayor emoción de estar observando la magnificencia de la danza, orden, prestancia, agilidad y música.No es posible comparar lo vivido con lo que se ve en video, pero cualquiera de las dos cosas que ocurran primero, no demerecen lograr lo segundo.

Title: SUPER GRILL, GREAT SERVICE
Review: This E-310 Natural Gas Grill replaces a two-burner propane Weber we've had for a long time. (I couldn't really wear it out, but I wanted to take advantage of the price advantage of NG)The grill arrived very quickly, was easy to assemble and install and cooks as reliably as I've grown to expect from Weber. The only caveat -- it's harder to see the NG flame than it was on the propane unit, so I rely on the temp needle jumping off the stop to know it's lit.

Review: For a mid-sized grill, this product works very well. It heats up fast and has plenty of thermal energy. It takes about 45 minutes to assemble.

Overall I would highly recommend this appliance if it fits your size requirements.

Title: Gems of wisdom clouded by bias
Review: What I find so offensive and patently dishonest from this book is the double standard of characterizing men and women. An example of this is the snide nasty way she refers to men who leave a relationship for a younger woman. But for the women in her examples it is honored and freeing- they got the young buck. Her disdain for men throughout the book is apparent. The whole read, while flowing and easy is set on creating a reality through sketchy examples of women's life stories that seems manipulated to fulfill her vision of how the world should be. There are some empowering nuggets, but taken in context of the whole message and journey in the book ultimately it is simply a sad display that will offer little real help to women and men who will come to realize that this the real world and Gail Sheehy is living in a fantasy world.

Title: How to Trade In Stocks
Review: With this book Smitten tried to sensationalize Jesse livermore and his trading method and succeeded in neither only to come up with the most boring rubbish ever written about the great speculator. Be warned, this book is entirely fiction apart from a few original quotes lifted from Reminiscences. Even Jesse's trading method hasn't escaped Smitten's "interpretation".Unfortunately there isn't much historical evidence available about Livermore, and to see him being recreated or fictionalized so uncharacteristically through the eyes of an inept writer serves no purpose at all. This is no way to treat a legend.

Title: Thought I was buying just Livermore's book reprinted!
Review: The editing is pathetic as if it was slapped together and thrown out there in rough draft. The book repeats itself over and over as if to fill up pages, p.65 caption refers to charts of INTL and semi ind. with charts of LU and telecom ind. above it, and publisher ads, too. I got almost as much out of "Reminiscences of a stock operator" (about Livermore) as I did this. There are some good points from Livermore, I think, hard to tell his words from Smitten additions. Hate that. Livermore market key is worth it, but I'm steering clear of this publisher in the future.

Title: methods of the old master
Review: As many people know, Jesse Livermore was the most successful trader early this century. Unfortunately, even the master couldn't hold on to his success. "JL" reportedly made $10 million during the beginning of the 1929 crash, only to lose EVERYTHING in the early 1930s. How did he lose his fortune? Unfortunately, his book does not say. Nevertheless, Jesse does reveal his system that served him well for many years. And even if it went kaput in the early 1930s, I think one can profit from his experiences. The book shows that Jesse often used "pivot points" to time his trades. Basically, "JL" was a mental technician. What has worked in the past may not work in the future. As George Soros had said, "The rules change." That phrase is especially important as we come ever closer to the end of the greatest bull market of this century, the type which wiped out JL himself. So, don't blindly follow JL's methods. Despite JL's subsequent failure, he did write a good book. I recommend it.

Title: Truncated version of original book with added material.
Review: I have a really fragile copy of a reprint of the this book printed in 1966. I purchased this edition so I could have a newer copy which would not have pages falling out of it. Unfortunately the editors have already removed three chapters of Livermore material and replaced them with original material by Richard Smitten. The Smitten material is ok, but it should have been added to the original book as an appendix not as a substitute for the last three chapters written by Livermore.The original book was only 112 pages long and the material from that book stops at page 56 in this new edition leaving you with around 122 pages of new material not written by Livermore. For that sin I can only give this book two stars.

Title: The part written by Livermore is worth 5 stars...
Review: Jesse Livermore must be wearing holes in his funeral clothes turning in his grave about the butchery that Smitten and Trader's Press have perpetrated on his book. Never before have I seen so many errors in punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Did a fourth grader edit the manuscript? Furthermore, it is difficult to determine which words were actually written by Livermore and which parts were added. Since the "Livermore Key" is printed in this edition exactly as it appeared in the original (1940) edition, one may surmise that Trader's Press has an entire copy of the original. Why not just reproduce the original exactly at it was printed in 1940 to maintain some coherency? This book was jam-packed with ads for Smitten's and Trader's Press other books. However, the part actually written by Livermore is pure gold.

Title: An infomercial
Review: As others have said, the parts of the book written by Jesse Livermore are very worthwhile. However, at least half the book is a mish-mash of Livermore and Richard Smitten, and it's not always clear who is speaking. Smitten essentially repeats everything that Livermore already said and does a terrible job of it. Moreover, his attempt at taking control off the narrative is to bring up the biography he wrote on Livermore and the software based on Livermore's strategy. I can't believe I paid money for an infomercial. It seems like there are other books on Livermore that are more worthwhile.

Title: Charts, explanations, and typos...
Review: The charts and explanations are incomprehensible if you are not aware of the typos.Chart one : "On April 2nd...Rule 6-B." It is rule 6-C.Chart two : "On May 27th... Rule 6-C". It is rule 6-E."On June 10th... Rule 6-E.". It is rule 6-G.And so on...Richard Smitten writes : "The prudent stock market student, after reading and studying this section, will observe that some of the numbers used by Livermore as examples are difficult to follow[No wonder]. We have attempted to understand these various examples, even so far .... Our objective was to see if there were any problems with the actual worksheets that we may not have noticed in the original 1940 published version. There were no discrepancies-this is exactly as Livermore presented the Market Key Theory." [I wonder how he has understood these various examples...]

Title: DON'T waste Your Money! A total ripoff by Smitten hawking his crap
Review: This book is a scam perpetrated by Smitten and company to direct you to his own products. The book is poorly written, and what educational info there is from Livermore could be handled in about 20 pages. The rest is anecdotal, interesting at times but useless to trading knowledge. The "Secret Market Key" is a bunch of price quotes which are neither enlightening nor relevant, since the stock market was a whole different animal back then. It's all common knowledge stuff (Pivot points, ride the winners dump the losers, etc) repeated ad nauseum. Buy it if you must but be prepared to feel like the proof of PT Barnum's adage.

Review: I first read this book having borrowed it from my public library. Loved it so much, that went and bought it twice (the other edition is titled "Ester and Ruzya", but it is the same book) and gave one to my mother who also loved it. Full disclosure: we are both Jewish refugees, formerly from Moscow, having lived in the US 30 years (me) and 20 yrs (my mother), so many parts of the story were directly related to our own family and our personal histories. Gessen's book reads like a thriller, cannot put it down. Heartily recommend along with her other non-fiction "thriller" "Blood matters"

Title: Dated and not enough information
Review: This may have been released on DVD in 2004 but it was obviously filmed much earlier. The included printable pamphlet is dated 1986 and video appears to be about the same time. They attempt to cover so much material in so little time that it's really just an overview of what it takes to remodel a kitchen. It provides little value for the do it yourself viewer.

Title: Disappointed...
Review: This DVD wont help you, if you are looking forward to do a kitchen remodel yourself. I watched it start to finish with out learning any technique. The movie is "over" edited and looks like the portions you really want to watch and learn are removed. Sorry, I have to return this DVD.

Title: Charlie Rich
Review: I never really heard much Charlie Rich growing up. However, there were two songs of his, "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl" that I knew about and truly enjoyed. These songs were the reason I bought the CD. Turns out, there are other good songs on here, too!!

Title: Wow, what a GREAT film!
Review: This is definitely one of the best movies I've seen. It's a semi-documentary shot on location. That river the actors across to capture the skinner family is actually located in Kekexili, according to the National Geographic website on the film. The story is simple yet powerful. The ending is just incredible. A must-see.It's reported that only three of the actors in the film are pros: the reporter, the ringleader of the patrol, and the guy in the quicksand scene. The girl is really pretty; too bad she doesn't get much screen time.You owe it to yourself to see this memorable film.

Title: Hypocrisy- they shot and killed an animal for real just to film this
Review: Even though the movie is about protecting endangered antelopes, a protected species of gazelle, fitted with antelope horns, who worked with the filmmakers and crew throughout the filming, was actually shot and killed to create the scene in which an antelope is shot. What hypocrisy. The cast and crew were not warned and were upset.

Title: What an interesting book!
Review: I love the writing in this book. I read Catherine Thimmesh's other book, Girls Think of Everything, and I was really surprised to learn how much girls have contributed to this world. So I was happy to know that they've discovered lots of stuff, too. What they don't tell you in history class!! Thimmesh is a snappy writer, putting only the most interesting parts into her descriptions. GREAT GIFT for any girl you know. Maybe that's EVERY girl you know. Read it ... GIRLS ROCK!!!

Title: 25 FT RCA Extension Cable
Review: This cable was exactly what I was looking for, I thought. But when I got it and plugged in my sub-woofer to it (trying to move the sub to a better location) all I got was a very LOUD 60hz hum. Just to be sure it was the cable I daisy-chained several RCA cables together and plugged in the sub and no hum. It's not worth the money or my time to send it back for the small amount I paid, just going to chalk it up to a learning experience. But I wanted to let others know so maybe someone else would get the "learning experience".

Title: 25' RCA cable
Review: Installing a new video projector in my classroom generated the need for a long RCA cable to connect various sources to the projector. I priced a few cables on some big-box web-sites, but come close to the price of this one. It's a fairly light-gauge cable, but it installed above a suspended ceiling easily and works perfectly well. I think it's a good value for the money.

Title: Did not get what I ordered, no response on return
Review: I ordered the Male to Female extension cable and recieved the Male to Male.OK, they goofed. So I tried to set up the return via Amazon and then (as directed) through the vendor. This was a Massively frustrating process that took me through a Groundhogs day-like series of entering and re-entering my info for over half an hour.Then I recieved no response at all.So I am stuck with a product that is useless to me unless I go to Radio Shack and spend more for male-to-female adapters. This is the only bad experience I have ever had with Amazon, but it is so wrong, trying to return has been so frutrating, and the response has been so non-existent I am going to rethink future purchases. I'll gladly pay an extra few bucks to save the time these folks cost me.

Title: The Ballad of Little of Anything
Review: Digging through Hemphill's rambling Faulknerian sentences, disfigured O'Connor-like characters, and sensationalized tabloid-type facts, I couldn't find a plot. And I knew what was going to happen. Mr. Hemphill obviously found so much gossip he couldn't stand to leave any of it out, making for a long and winding trip up and down and around and through Highway 59.And while many of his facts were correct, many were terribly skewed: I suppose making for a more salacios tale. Read at your own risk of falling to sleep.

Title: Israeli Propaganda
Review: Knowing what we know now about the complex issues of Palestinian and Israeli rule in this land - the title alone is problematic. The film itself, however, reads like pure propaganda for Israeli occupation of these lands that were to be shared. Ironically, at times it feels more like a Reifenstahl film extolling the "superior Germanic race." Though made in the 60's it often feels like the 40's newsreel style compilation of clips. Were it as beautiful as "I Am Cuba" - also a propaganda film sponsored by Communist Russia on behalf of the Cuban government, it would at least have some redeeming quality. The footage can be interesting historically, but such a lopsided presentation perpetuates the depiction of the pre-Israel non-Jewish residents of Palestine as simple-minded camel-herders whose children bathe in the same water with cattle. In this respect it was painful to sit through as with any film we now know to be racist.

Title: Remember The Ventures at their peak ?
Review: Well, this is even better. Back in the 60's Les Aiglons hit Europe with a string of fantastic instrumental tracks all featured in this compilation. They had a very brief career, unlike the Shadows just retired or the Ventures still going strong, but, boy, did they know how to play their guitars and keyboard !! " Stalactite " is their " Walk don't run " and it sounds as fresh today as it did 42 years ago.

Title: Opening is way too small
Review: This product and price is terrific..until you try to get something in it. The zipper opening does not permit even a hand to slide in withoutgetting scratched from the zipper. Putting in and removing something bulky like, say, a can of shaving cream is nearly impossible. I have struggled with it to the point of not giving these as a gifts anymore. It's certainly otherwise well-made, very attractive and at an unbelievable price and for anyone who needs to travel with a lot of items it would appear to be perfect but it is not.

Title: Great idea-- not so great product
Review: The hidden scoop is a great idea. I loved the design--holding the scoop upright and hiding the scooper. But the scoop itself was very flimsy and cheap & ended up flicking what we were trying to pick up... kinda gross! We were disappointed and ended up throwing it away.

Title: Good Scoop
Review: I really like the holder for this scoop. Before we got this, we kept our scooper in a plastic baggy, which got pretty nasty. This is much more appealing and clean. I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 because I've noticed the scoop isn't as sturdy as some I've had in the past. I can see if I pick up a really heavy piece of kitty waste (our cats all pee in one spot so there's usually one huge clump to dig out) that it bends and the plastic at the base of the handle turns white (like it's under a lot of stress) The scoop hasn't broken or anything, and we've had it for quite a while (probably close to a year), but I can see it going eventually. But right now, we're really happy with our scoop having it's own spot and not having a nasty bag sitting around, and that's worth the extra few bucks to me.***Update on 6/7/2011***Our scoop finally broke this week, just to give you an idea of how long ours lasted.

Title: Worst Litter Scoop I Ever Bought
Review: Whose bright idea was it to put tines on the bottom of the scoop? Makes it useless for scraping the bottom of the box when needed. I find more clumps break when using this scoop than others without the projections on the bottom. Great idea of a scoop then hide but poor execution.

Title: Fatally weak handle undermines an otherwise smartly designed litter scoop
Review: "Booda Scoop'N Hide Litter Scoop" is an extremely well-designed cat litter scoop. The size of the scoop is just right, with a well thought-out sifting design via a well-spaced rake and a nice-sized scoop. Also the upright scoop holder is easy to use and effective.Unfortunately, the scoop handle is incredibly weak. From the very beginning, the plastic handle twisted and buckled during each use. In fact, it would take very little weight before the handle would buckle. Unsurprisingly, after only three weeks, the handle finally snapped off the scoop.In the end, I cannot recommend this item... and it's a shame, too, because if it wasn't for the cheap plastic used for the scoop handle, this would have been a five star item for its simple, smart design. In all, avoid.

Title: Would be good if it held up better.
Review: The concept behind this litter scoop is great. Unfortunately, it's not built to last. The container for the scoop is well designed and makes it easy to dump out any litter that may have held on to the scoop. The problem is the scoop itself is flexing where the handle meets the shovel after only 2 months of use.

Title: a little clumsy
Review: I had a problem with this scoop right out of the box... the label wouldn't come off. The purpose of buying the scoop with the case was so it would look sort of pretty in my bathroom. But then when I tried to peel off the label, it left a sticky mess. I tried scrubbing it off with hot soapy water, to no avail. Now I have dirt and cat hair getting stuck to the glue. Very disappointing.Also, getting it out of the case is a little clumsy. It doesn't stay open either, so you have to use your hands to open it back up, which defeats the purpose. The only nice thing about this scoop is the color.
