0	generic lounge singer taps into wedding sentiment	Forgetting the sentiment, this and every other Mikki Verrick recording sounds as if she did it on a 2 track analog machine in her basement. The sound quality and recording are just horrid. And there is no orchestration or richness to it. It's a mediocre lounge singer with an electronic keyboard.	negative
1	Nice Starter Book	Even though this book is forty five years old, it makes for good reading about what used to be found in the areas that are listed.I have been to a number of these sites but many are now closed to collectors and some of them because of damage to company equipment at quarries.Some of the "along the highway" sites are still accessible and Fairystone State Park has enough material for collectors at the site that is listed. The store is now called "Haynes 57" as of a few years back and no digging tools are allowed. It is all hand picking only. The Cowee Valley of North Carolina still has some of the Ruby and Sapphire Mines open for bucket purchases but most are enriched with non-native minerals.There are more recent books available and they should be checked out to see if some of these sites are accessible.	positive
0	Broke Instantly	This corkscrew felt cheap as soon as I opened the package. Then the first time I went to use it I was thinking, "Man this feels so chea.." SNAP!!! Broken.Piece of junk.	negative
0	Great Read for Auburn Lovers	If you love Auburn, particularly Auburn Football, this book is for you. Rob gives you the positive inside view of a great tradition as told by a young man with great talent. Once I started reading I could not put it down. This book is a great read for Auburn Lovers.	negative
0	Not What I'd Hoped For	I had expected, or at least hoped for, a more or less straightforward account of the Mothman phenomenon of some 30 years ago. Instead, this meandering book comprises "hick" UFO sightings that are only infrequently connected with Mothman, and Keel's trust-me-I- know-what-I'm-talking-about theories and explanations. I was particularly dismayed by seemingly endless accounts of men (in black) behaving badly. With little to recommend it (and aside from providing some details on the Mothman sightings, there's no other recommendation), "The Mothman Prophecies" is a considerable disappointment.	negative
1	great book	everything you need to start developing services and clients and nothing unnecessary.clear, concise explanations, better than those in the Professional Jini book.sample programs/code needs better formatting for better readablility though	positive
0	"Hooray For Boobies" doesn't have me shouting for joy.	"The Bad Touch" is a funny song. Hats off to Jim for coming up with some great catchy lyrics, and a tune that keeps it real. But, is that all that their new album, "Hooray For Boobies" has to offer? Sadly, yes. After a few cool tunes like "Mope" and "Hell Yeah", the album relys on its shock value of Bad Touch to carry through the rest of the album and deliver energy to such desperate songs like A Lapdance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying, that steals from country, badly, and loses its charm fast. It seemed like an entire CD of garnish, and no real substance, no meat. It felt rushed and choppy, with inane skits in the middle that aren't that funny, despite a chuckle-worthy phone conversation with one of the mothers about vaginas. If you want talented, shock worthy songs that have good flow, and catchy beats, stick with Eminem, and Dr. Dre. The Bloodhound Gang have talent, they just didn't show it with this one.	negative
1	A Compelling Account	It is easy and understandable to engage in hyperbole when writing an historical account of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Dan Kurzman does this a bit in his "The Bravest Battle: The Twentieth Eight Days of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising." Rather than let the story tell itself, he sometimes interjects his own enthusiastic voice.But by and large he sticks to the facts as we know them. The book's sources are meticulously noted, and range from German files and photographs, courtroom accounts, eyewitness interviews, and assortment of documents and secondary sources.In the end Kurzman has written a compelling account of a most improbable military engagement. And he never once forgets the terrible conditions of those both living and fighting in the ghetto had to endure.	positive
1	Always get compliments with this scent	This is a very nice scent that lasts a long time and I'm always asked what I'm wearing. I like it also because it is very reasonably priced.	positive
0	Product Contains Rubber Latex	The merchant did not mention anything about the product containing latex. It wasn't even mentioned on the box. I only found out until I opened the package and saw the individual packages that it said, "Caution: The Packaging of This Product Contains Natural Rubber Latex Which May Cause Allergic Reactions." For some of us, we are very sensitive and easily react to products. When I bought this, I thought it was fine for sensitive skin because it mentioned nothing about the possibility of causing an allergic reaction. I am now unable to use these and not only was it a waste of money, but it is definitely a health hazard to those who are unaware.I just hope that people realize the product may cause allergic reactions and are cautious when buying the item.	negative
0	Big Disappointment	This book is more like the "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft Manufacturers" then the "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft." It starts with a short and somewhat sketchy history of aviation then goes into the encyclopedia which it titles "The A-Z of the World's Aircraft.". All of the entries are just different aircraft manufacturers. It mentions a little of the companie's history and gives a list of the companies products. While there are many pictures of aircraft in the book, no information is given for any of the aircraft that are mentioned in the book. All it is a list of aircraft manufacturers and what they make or made. I was very disappointed by this book and do not recomend it to anyone.	negative
0	Thankfully I Don't "Get" It!	Being a fan of multiple genres, artists, styles I always keep an open mind when listening to things the first time. Having got this on loan from the library, what resonated was how how glad I was I didn't actually pay for this dreadful album. The writing, singing and playing is uninspired, formulaic and displays little talent. Reading the various reviews causes me to wonder how someone could give this five stars, or four or three...Thankfully I don't "get" it. Not having smoked, drank or ingested some other type of substance likely had something to do with that. That is the only way I could conceive getting anything out of this and might explain others getting any pleasures out this subpar effort. People, there is so much better music out there than to waste your time on this!	negative
1	Nostalgic	Miracle is the true story of the "Miracle on Ice" when the1980 US Olympic hockey team won the gold medal by defeating the Soviet Union and Finland. This movie centers around the coach, Herb Brooks, and how he steered his team to the gold medal. It certainly brings back all the nostalgia of that hockey team and is a fun movie to watch.The extra features, especially the ESPN round table with Kurt Russell who played Herb Brooks, and three of the real players, including goalie Jim Craig, team captain Mike Eruzione, and Buzz Schnieder were outstanding additions.	positive
1	make sure you know what size you want; very differnt curls	These are exactly as stated and work just fine, but I wish I had bought a size, or even two, smaller. Granted I am new to this system, but I find the curls are looser than normal setting rollers (or even electric rollers or curling irons). I like the curls; they are soft and long lasting, but I recommend you buy the set, experiment with the differnt sizes, THEN decide if you need more curlers and if so which size.	positive
1	Great	This is a very good book, I recive it late it took around 15 days to come as I remember), but it is a great book.	positive
1	Another edition of the timeless book	I ordered the book having read it already, just to have it for my library. It has a beautiful geometric pattern cover, which looks better on the computer screen than in real life. I prefer the hard-cover edition, but this one will make a nice, inexpensive, but meaningful gift.	positive
1	Ready-to-Use Social Skills Lessons & Activities for Grades 7-12	I love this book; It really encourages creative thinking and is a must for group work with adolescents. I highly recommend it!!!	positive
0	Not worth the money	Nothing new. It actually made me feel depressed! Being a new book I really thought it would have information I can use. It does not. It may be good for people that are not sure if they are bipolar (thats the only reason I gave it 2 stars) but as for me, it's not worth the money. The same sentences are repeated many times and if you happen to be Bipolar 1 looking for more modern ideas on bipolar in general forget this book, it makes bipolar one look hopeless.	negative
0	How do you say "This is bad" in Hopelandic?	Sooooooo, I read all the Sigur Ros/( ) reviews here on Amazon ("sheer beauty" "I cried several times during this CD" etc etc) and figured OK - I'll give ( ) a shot. I own the previous disk - which I think is so-so. And.........This has got to be the most overrated load of hooey since "Kid A." There's nothing memorable here; the music's not even that interesting. I thought maybe a second listen might help, but no. The main problem is the singer has only one phrase which he repeats on every song - apparently in lieu of being able to write actual lyrics. It sounds like "OOO-SIGH-OH," or something, and becomes even MORE tedious and irritating the second time around. I dunno. The black lipstick and fingernail polish crowd might dig it after they've skipped their lithium treatments, but ( ) doesn't do it for me. ...	negative
1	Read this first . . .	If you're interested in this book enough to be here reading reviews, buy it. Don't take any of these "cliche-Tolkein impersonator" reviews seriously. They have no training whatsoever and are critisizing a New York Times bestseller, telling him how it is. Brooks has what, thirteen straight bestsellers? His works have a powerful presence and atmosphere. No one ever accused the writer(s) of the Bible with imitating the Talmud and Torah, did they? For $7, you can make your own decisions. A+.	positive
1	Best Tennis Game	Although this game may look kinda goofy it is a fun way to learnthe game and most important, it's fun! There are manycharacters available and different kinds of courts such as:hard,grass,clay. It is a easy to setup and is also simple toplay, so make sure you buy it! There will be no regrets!	positive
0	Earrings are MUCH larger than they appear in picture	These earrings are much larger than most studs and look awkward in the ear because of it. When held next to a pearl earring, for example, they are considerably larger.	negative
0	Very disappointing	I was very disappointed with this movie and I love B horror flicks. I thought this was a rip off rendition of Friday the 13th. It is held in a summer camp, come on, with teenagers that scream, please. The idea of the plot was a good one, but executed very wrong. If you want to see a summer camp movie, see Friday the 13th series.	negative
0	Dremel 400 Up in smoke	I am going to echo what many others have said. I have used my 400 xpr reasonably for a year maybe once a month. Today I was cutting with it, making sure the vents were clear because I know it can get warm, when it started making an arc welding type of noise and smoke began spewing out. I stopped it and although it was not hot at all, I waited a bit and tried again. It went click, click zap, zap, zap and began smoking like rubber in a bonfire. Fortunately I was out in my shed with lots of ventilation. I am disappointed in this Dremel product. I will try a different brand from now on.	negative
1	A lot of benefits to owning this	Just stumbled across this and decided to purchase it. Am pleasantly surprised as all of the players are very good, the intermingling of performers from various bands, etc. shows the knowledge and respect they all have for one another, and the songs are all good, mostly well-known, and selections for which the individual bands and players are known for. Really glad I took the plunge on this one!	positive
1	What a show!	While this version of Hamlet tends to skimp on the actual text, Mel Gibson puts on a great show here. The standout performance for me is Glenn Close's performance as Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. What this version of Hamlet has that I feel is lacking from some of the other film versions is the setting--the remoteness and authenticity of the castle sets the scene perfectly for the mood of the film. But STUDENTS, BE WARNED: if you're trying to skip out on reading the play for class and are planning on watching the movie instead, THIS IS NOT THE VERSION TO DO SO.	positive
0	Mine's defective	Edit - I wrote a very negative review of this product. Bottom line is I have a defective unit so I can't really give a solid review. It still gets one star.	negative
1	A history of greed	The book explains what happens when faceless corporations take care of the food business. The independent producers are forced out of business, the nature is manipulated and workers are exploited.The worst aspect is that the children are one of the main target of these companies that craft their ads and products to appear attractive to youngsters.They package all their junk full of fats, chemical and unhealthy products together with little colored gadgets of famous animation characters. This makes wonders in luring the toddlers ( and their parents ).The book does a good job in describing these disgusting strategies.One section that I found very interesting was the one dedicate to flavors, complex chemicals that give actual taste to the food. They are formulated with hundreds of different compounds mixed in the right proportions to trick our mouth.Do you have an idea of what lies behind the common " strawberry aroma " ? Prepare yourself to be shocked.	positive
0	Waste of precious time (not to mention ink and paper)	I picked up this book to see what Oprah was so excited about, skimmed through to get the gist, started to read more closely, and got so disgusted I couldn't finish it. What was so frustrating was that he identified some real problems, but was way off base with his solutions. His spirituality seemed to be mainly a blend of Christianity and Buddhism. He rails against some Christians for thinking they have the Truth, but seems to believe that what he is writing is Truth. Most frustrating of all was that he often wrenched scripture passages out of context and twisted their meaning. Unless the reader already has a good grasp on the Bible, he may think that Tolle is advocating spiritual message that is consistent with Christianity and end up very confused. My advice is to just skip this book--there are so many better ways to spend your time.	negative
0	Save Your Money, Buy a Different MP3 Player	My SanDisk MP3 player worked great -- for about three days. Then, after the original battery ran out, it was never the same again. When a brand new battery of the correct type was placed in the device, it was rarely able to detect the new battery. Even when it did, it still did not play a single MP3 file. It also can't be detected by my computer anymore. If only I could go back in time and prevent myself from purchasing this dreadful product.	negative
1	it looks like a bird	I love joyride Halo toys but if you're about to buy this to play with, don't it's more for viewing. It's nice and highly detailed but it's not something you take out of the box and play with. But if you're going to buy something for our kids to play with I go with McFarlane toy not a joyride Halo toy.	positive
0	False Advertisement!!!!!!	My boyfriend saw these KSWISS Albury Ii Mens shoes and liked what he saw. However, they showed two different shoes. When you search for this shoe, it brings up a white shoe, but when you click on the link to select your size and buy the shoe, it shows a totally different shoe. What is shown has dark gray on the side around the toes, a red emblem of Kswiss, yellow/gold on the bottom of the shoe and dark gray on the tongue of the shoe. When I got it in the mail, it was a white shoe. I called amazon and explained. They appoligized and said they would take the incorrect picture down. Shoe buy said they dont have the shoe shown and that it may have been a older version of the shoe that kswiss no longer sells. I am returning. I was very dissapointed and I doubt if I'll buy Kswiss again.	negative
1	Great Customer Service- Good Condition Information	I really wanted this box-set mostly for the great art on each cover, and the quality of the books themselves. Looks so much better than the cheesy movie cover ones. The seller was super awesome. He/She helped me see the condition of the books by showing me pics. Very professional and courteous emails were sent to me also. The Seller is comparable to Gandalf, wielding the magic of great prices whilst being very helpful in my quest to purchase.	positive
1	Simple but Thorough	I found this to be a very nice overview of the New Testament. It contains many photographs, maps, and other visuals that break up the text. This was the required textbook for my graduate NT Survey class, but I would consider it more appropriate for undergrad or even high school. If you are looking for something meaty, I would say this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a pleasant, sweeping survey of the NT, then you will likely enjoy this book.	positive
1	FANTASTIC REFERENCE!!!	I agree, the first guy was clueless. This is a fantastic reference. The key word here is reference; this book does not teach you C++, nor does it try to. It is like a dictionary of the language. This is the book to look stuff up in when writing real code.I like the style of this book much better than that of the "In a Nutshell" reference books, so I plan to get the Java version of this book ("Java 2 Programmer's Reference") instead of "Java in a Nutshell". Stuff is much easier to find.Most compilers come with their own reference on disk, but they usually mix platform dependent stuff with platform independent stuff. I need my code to be as portable as possible, so I prefer to look stuff up in here.It's cheap. It's great. Buy it.	positive
1	Great price	I calculalate that over the life of my refrigerator I will save some big money buying these filters on-line rather than from the appliance store.	positive
1	A Coffee Table and Not a Pulpit.	As an artist, I am immensely grateful for the New Kind of Christian trilogy. Brian McLaren steps away from brokering knowledge and chooses instead to ignite a conversation. There's humility here--a pastor who isn't looking for the last word in his writing. This book deserves careful study because though the chapters race by, the questions move in, find the spare rooms in our minds, and start unpacking their suitcases. They're going to be here a while.	positive
0	Appears great but not durable.	The product looked great on arrival but immediately noticed that the tools were not attached properly to the handles. Every one of the four had play where they attached. Also, I was surprised to see that these toys were metal with hard wooden handles, which would be great if the metal had any strength. Within the first hour, my 4 year old grandson had bent both rake heads	negative
0	Not a good book if your just learning.	This was the first investment book I bought a few years back. The fundamental sections, regarding earnings growth is OK. The technical analysis sections are extremley un-clear, and poorly written. For example, he often talks about bases and recommends not buying a stock that is 5% above its base. The problem is he never really defines what constitutes a base. There are many more similar problems, and I promise that you will end up doing a lot of assuming. By the time you are done reading this book, you will have more questions than answers. Not a good way to build up confidence. If you are new to investing, you would be much better off buying a Motley Fool, book. If you are not new, and have already read several other books, I doubt you'll take anything worthwhile from this one.	negative
1	Affordable. Functional.	As this already has so many reviews, there isn't much else to say other than it works great for me.	positive
1	Un equalled.	I have taught clinical neuroscience for 10 years to medical students and psychiatrists.They all love this lucid, informative and clinically relevant book-above all others.A gift to all studying affect, affect regulation,attachment and psychiatry.Thank you,from us all.	positive
1	What a great value!	My son loved this Christmas gift! It was a great set for the price. Wish I'd bought one for my daughter also!	positive
1	Wonderful movie, my kids love it!	My son got this movie for Christmas and we have already watched it about 50 times. The extras are hysterical so make sure to check them out. We have kids ages 2 to 16 and they all love it!!!	positive

0	pointless and insulting	I am fascinated with Antarctica. The research being done there is so important and that it is done in such impossible conditions is astounding. The biological, geological, climactic, and astrophysical work is the forefront of science today. This is a scifi novel, it should deal with those subjects. It doesn't. The main characters aren't scientists. The plot does not deal with science at all.It's a very dull political novel with bad dialogue and irritating characters.Granted, there is some history in here, but it is disjointed and does not fit well in the places it has been jammed. If you were watching a movie and someone held up there hand and said "wait, we need to show this historical film for 20min" people would walk out of the theater. Just like I keep walking away from this novel. I genuinely tried to read it, but it is that awful.	negative
0	It's OK	This game is OK and my 3-year-old son plays it from time to time. He loves Dora and Diego, so I thought this would be a great hit, but it has been pretty disappointing. There are two game "tracks" with 3 levels of difficulty. My son completed both tracks in about 30 minutes. It's pretty repetitive after that, even at higher skill levels. He gets pretty bored with the long-winded videos in between the actual games.I took off an extra star for requiring that the CD be in the computer when he plays the software. It's 2011 now -- get with the program. You require me to register the program any way, so use a license number like every other software company.	negative
0	A disappointment	This is definitely not a standard romance novel, and Carla Kelly obviously enjoyed surprising the reader by pairing the heroine with the less-likely of her two suitors. I thought the good doctor was an estimable man and worthy of the heroine, although I couldn't feel the romance between them. To me the disappointment in the novel was in the way the author changed Nez, cured him of his alcoholism, brought him out of his self-absorption and made him aware of other people and the good things he could do for them---in short, reformed him and turned him into a man even more worthy of the heroine. But for what? Usually, a gentleman so improved and reformed wins the heroine in a romance novel, but in this one he walks away with empty arms at the end. What a letdown! I felt so depressed after I finished this one that I decided never to pick up another Carla Kelly novel, just in case she lets me down like this again.	negative
1	soul Seeker	One can relax and not fear of any strained effort from the artist to force words in a song. The folley of a poor poet. This album takes you truthfully by sound. I'm not trained in explaining original music that lacks present comparison but suggest an honest listening to this album.	positive
1	Our Father Abraham	Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian FaithA book every Christian should read. We cannot fully understand the teachings of Jesus and our Bible without a through knowledge of Jewish history and culture. We worship a Jewish savior, who worshiped in a synagogue, honored and practiced Jewish rituals. We read from a Jewish book, our Bible written by Jewish men. To fully understand the symbolism in the Bible we must know something about Jewish religeous practices.Christianity is a branch attached to a tree that has its roots in Judaism This book is one of the best available for a deeper understanding of Jewish culture and religeon. I highly reccomend this book to all Christains wishing to have a deeper understanding of their faith and its beginnings.	positive
1	Great!	It was everything I exPected. It arrived on time. And it was brand new so worked perfectly. I love this series and have now completed it.	positive
1	I've read them all!	...I think.Anyway, I read The Door In the Dragons Throat when I was eight and have been hooked on Peretti books since.I know it's weird, but his books often helped me keep my faith in perspective and in some ways, are the one reasons I'm still a Christian today. I'm going to get this for my 8 year old niece!	positive
0	Too much RED DYE!!	I didn't wanted to buy anything that was made with rawhide but a friend gave my pup a Dingo and he loved it. So I forced myself and brought my first bag of Dingo Dental Bones a month ago. Stitch loved it! I loved it too because he actually spent a good 45 minutes~2 hours on a Dingo Dental Bone. I didn't really like the red dye in the chicken meat but it wasn't overwhelming. If you actually crack a piece of the chicken off you can still see some non-dyed chicken.So I ordered a second bag of Dingo, just the original red package. The red dye was so strong that the whole piece of chicken was blood red and it even DYED the rawhide pinkish red!! It's kind of ridiculous to dye something the dog can smell! It's not necessary as long it tastes delicious.Anyhow I am on the search for something else, hopefully a better alternative other than Dingos.At least it wasn't made in China.	negative
1	Tight songs from Bone!	This single contains 2 tight songs from Bone's masterpiece album "The Art Of War": If I Could Teach The World and Body Rott! And to make it better, it has the instrumental versions of both songs(so you can rap the songs yourself or rap your own songs) as well as the acapella versions, which make it easier to learn the lyrics to the songs! Check this out today!	positive
0	Weak and boring.	His first book was pretty good (The Millionaire Next Door). This was quite repititive and boring. Don't bother.	negative
1	Very interesting book	I have not yet finished reading this book but thought I would go ahead and write a review. Fear and Loathing is one of those quintessintial reads on its era. For some reason, the association I'm having is with The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, another novel I would strongly recommend. As always, this was shipped and arrived as expected. Read it if you're into learning about the drug era.	positive
1	Wonderfully Different and Imaginative!	"Helm" is one of the better stories I have read in a long time. It is well written, the story line is fresh, new and well thought out. The characters, other than the principal two or three are not so exhaustively deep as to boar or to slow down the work. The principals are well developed, certainly well enough for this story. This is a single self-contained story, no series, no trilogy, a great rarity these days and a welcome one I might add.It has everything, a little action, a little romance, a little intrigue. There are parts where martial arts practice are describe in some detail and that can drag just a little, but these parts are fairly short and presented well enough to be interesting to most.I liked this book. I liked it enough to make it part of my permanent collection and that doesn't happen every often anymore. I have found myself rereading it at least half a dozen times.Highly recommended.	positive
1	A real funny story with some very real moments.	I love Van Whitfield's writing style. "Something's Wrong With Your Scale!" is a funny book with some real issues about being over weight that are taken seriously. I shared this book with my teenage daughter. I read it first and had a hard time not giving away parts of the book before she finished. This book has lots of comedy in it that just makes you laugh out loud. While my daughter was reading the book and laughing I would say where are you now? She would say "eating the cheese cake" or "in the restaurant" or "at the mail box" and we would look at each other and laugh. I had so much fun sharing this book with my daughter. We can't wait for the next book. We have our own little book club going now.	positive
0	The ego has landed	The ego has landed! This novel began with an idea that,finally, wouldn't expand beyond the author's idea that he is gordon --Gordon! -- and we should all pant at every word. It's unfortunate because Lish is a superb writer of short fiction. We have 155 pages, with about 50% of the left hand pages blank and many of the right facing pages are less than half filled. Finally, the throbbing ego here makes the blank pages the best part of the story. John Herrmann <herrmann@libby.org>	negative
0	try another camera	i have a nikon cp800 now, and have used my friends fuji 2600 for 3 weeks. so, thought at 3mp this must be better than a 2600, wrong. i bought the camera and took about 50 pictures. the camera only give acceptable shots at full sunlight outdoors. the pics indoors are useless. even outdoors the camera gives lousy shots unless there is extreme bright light. i like fuji digital cameras, but they missed here. you get about the pic quality of a $$ 1mp camera. if your looking for a $ carry along camera, get the fuji 2600. my guess, half of a303 will be returned.	negative
1	The Ataris the way they were meant to sound	Forget So Long Astoria. This is how The Ataris should be heard. These 6 songs pack emotion into pop-punk (but it's not emo - that's an important distinction) and come off sounding like a combination of the Descendents and the Smoking Popes. They avoid the emo trap they would later fall into by packing these songs with equal doses of emotion and humor. "My So-Called Life" is a tribute to an actress on the TV show of the same name, and the classic "San Dimas High School Football Rules" takes its name from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Even though it's only an E.P, Look Forward To Failure is a quintessential Ataris record.	positive
1	A Thrilling Ride	Mel Gibson has offered a candid look at one of the most eccentric cultures in the western hemisphere. This action-soaked adventure takes you for a ride and doesn't let you off until the very end.The protagonist, Jaguar Paw is captured, along with the survivors of his village, and taken to the ancient Mayan city, where he is to be offered up as a blood sacrifice in one of the infamous Mayan rituals. Jaguar Paw then makes one of the most exciting attempts to escape certain death that I have seen on film in a few years.From the ancient Mayan city through barren fields, to the rain forest, Jaguar Paw struggles to elude his dogged pursuers from without, and the enemy from within, fear.This movie is a sure bet if it's action you are looking for. It also piques the curiosity about ancient Mayan civilization. It took me a while to get into the subtitles, but the actors speaking in the native tongue lend a certain authenticity to the overall experience.	positive
1	GOOD WATCH FOR THE MONEY	This watch is very cool because it sets itself to an atomic clock every day, so that if you google "The exact time now" and check the official time on your computer they coincide to the second. I was a little disappointed after daylight savings time it took the watch almost an entire day to adjust backwards that additional hour. Overall I am very happy with the watch.	positive

1	Better than Spike or Quentin	The book is truly amazing. I have bough 15-20 books on filmmaking, directing and screenwriting. I thought I new something. Then I bought Dov's book. I couldn't put it down. It took me step-by-step through Producing, Writing and Directing my first feature film. Now, I truly feel that if god blessed me with enough talent that I can launch a career like Spike Lee or Quentin Tarantino did. Thank you Dov!	positive
1	Fun Radio	This radio sits next to my PC and is on while I on the PC.I go camping up in the Sierra's most every weekend in the spring, summer and fall.

0	What was all the fuss about?	After giving this book 300 pages of my time I finally had to give it up. I kept waiting for Jack, the main character, to grow on me. Even with his self-loathing, I found him to be extremely arrogant. I found his daughter to be too perfect and charming, and the rest of his family just plain obnoxious. Another thing I foung annoying was the way that all the characters went on and on about how beautiful and charming Jack's dead wife was, noone seemed to harbor any anger about the fact that she killed herself. Perhaps you have to be from the south to get into these characters, but I certainly hope that all southerners aren't this disfunctional and cliche.	negative
1	Great in-ear headphones	I wear both "cans" and in-ear headphones and these are the best in-ear phones I've found. Take the time to try all the sizes and types (rubber vs foam) of ear buds. You need a good seal in the ear canal to shut out ambient sound. DO NOT wear jogging or driving where you need to hear outside sounds.	positive
1	Lego's it ain't	My son does love this toy, but it takes forever to get together and it falls apart very easily. It's a parent's nightmare! I feel like taking some rubber cement to it.

0	fragile knobs - they will break trust me	We had four knobs installed in our new home. The electrician broken one during the installation. We broken the remaining knobs within a short time period. The sad part is that after the first one broken, we realized how fragile the knobs were and were extra careful, but they still snapped off. So now we are left with jagged pointy plastic stems to control the light and fan. The vendor should be ashamed to continue to sell this inferior product. If they did any kind of quality assurance testing, it would have been caught.	negative
0	Could be better.	These could have been better. I found that they don't fit into regular light sockets (such as those on wall sconces), and they noticeably flicker a bit. I think the GE ones are much better.I got mine shipped from Amazon, and half of them arrived broken as well.	negative
0	What a mistake- save your money	Well, I suppose there is something for everyone, but this book was not for me. I even question if someone could even write such a diluted, empty book based in ridiculous illusions of spirituality. In fact, it seemed that one of her top priorities was proving that at 60, young men are still attracted to her. Who cares? I personally feel that she never did the walk but bases her experiences in loose facts read elsewhere that consequently allow her to give the superficial appearance of having walked the ancient pilgrimage route.For a really beautiful, wonderful, inspirational, and truly spiritual account of a 60 year old woman that actually, and evidently, walked the trail last year I would instead recommend "Walk in a Relaxed Manner: Life Lessons from the Camino" by Joyce Rupp. That book was EXCELLENT; sincere and moving.Save your money.	negative

0	It's a Matter of Taste	Shelby Foote's narrative style might appeal to some, but it doesn't work for me. I find his writing style just gets in the way of an already compelling subject. It feels as if he's trying too hard to sound erudite. I found Stephen Sears account of Gettysburg a much better smoother read.The fact that Foote is not a trained historian is also evident as his account of Gettysburg is full of the anecdotes that most historians have since determined to be some of the many myths of the battle of Gettysburg.	negative

1	More intense than her other workouts	I bought this as I was looking for something with a bit more intensity and this was it. Its fast paced and sometimes I have hard a time keeping up! I usually include it in my workout when I need a boost. I love the music only option as well. Music is 80's, BUT, its a perfect walking beat. This has become a staple in my workout.	positive
1	Definitely not a side project!	Being a devoted fan of Tool, I was sceptical at first about Maynard James Keenan's "other band." But I decided to throw caution to the wind and purchase the CD anyway. I was impressed with the first single of Mer de Noms, "Judith" and I could definitely hear similarities between APC and Tool. But after listening to the Mer de Noms, I was once again amazed by Keenan's musical genius. Although I was constantly reminded of Tool, while listening, Maynard does a terrific job of establishing A Perfect Circle's own sound. Expecting the rest of the CD to be like Judith, I was surprised to hear such beautiful ballads as "Orestes" and "3 Libras." With Maynard's soothing vocals, Billy Howerdel, Paz Lenchantin, Josh Freese, and Troy Van Leeuwen providing the music, this band is definitely not a side project of Keenan's. I constantly listen it, and have yet to get tired of it - and I doubt I ever will. This CD was money well spent and worth every penny!	positive
1	Quite informative!	I am thankful that I had previously read snippets of text throughout this book, before sitting down to read it cover to cover. If not, I probably would have never made it through the first chapter. Why? Because the book starts off with radical religious views being stated as matter-of-fact scientific research. I find this distracting, irritating and highly inappropriete; as I read science related books for the purpose of science, NOT to be indoctinated into someone's belief system...That being said. Once one gets passed the bulk of "personal religious views being stated as fact", the book is very enjoyable to read and quite informative. It has no doubt awakened a sense of urgentness, excitement and direction in the care of this little plot of land I tend to, here in the PNW, USofA.	positive
0	Don't even waste your time	This book was one of the worst I have read. Extremly disapointing after Gone with the Wind. At first it's semi interesting, but as the book continues it just gets so awful you're about ready to burn the book. The ending's alright, so my copy was spared. The charactor's just don't seem to match up with that of Gone with the Wind. I really do not recommend reading this book, it only makes you mad and gives you a headache.	negative

0	A Must To Avoid	There is nothing much to recommend about this CD, other than the songs "Sunny Afternoon" and "All Day And All Of The Night". The rest is filler.

1	Legendary figures made real, legendary times brought to life	Readers looking for heroic adventures and mighty warriors set against the turmoil of the Migration Age will not be disappointed. But it is the struggle of Hagan, a young man coming to age in a time of great upheavals in politics, religion and culture that makes this story so compelling. We see beyond the dark and brooding Hagan of Grundy's earlier Rhinegold, into the heart of the man who must learn to balance honor and loyalty to his people with his own spiritual journey. Grundy lets us share the journey as Hagan grows into his dual birthright of princely duty and shamanistic power. If you liked Rhinegold, you will love Attila's treasure.	positive

I listened to about 4 more of the songs, all ones that i heard were good, and i gave the CD away later that day. The horns section is WAY too loud, the vocals are annoying and horrible, and this is probably the worst ska band out there. If you want REAL ska, check out Less Than Jake, or NOFX, they are a million times better than this crap.	negative
1	best bang for your buck	I seem to always be disappointed by the headphones I get. The better the sound quality, the bigger they are, and not many people want to lug the big ones around with their ipod. Others are smaller and have great sound quality but are really uncomfortable or just too expensive. I usually don't go with ear buds because they never fit right and just fall out of your ear.These headphones seem to work on every level. They're small, they're VERY comfortable (I actually fell asleep with them in my ears last night), they don't fall out of my ears, and the sound quality is good. How good? I'm no audio nerd, so others are better to tell you about that, but the sound quality is rich and full. I would have been fine with all that, but I noticed that the noise reduction works pretty well too.For $20, you really can't go wrong with these. I have one for my laptop, and I'm going to get another set for my iPod.	positive
1	Best book on XML	This is an excellent book to introduce you to XML and how to employ it in the real world. I picked this book up two weekends ago after getting totally frustrated with "XML for Dummies" (avoid that book!). This book set aside my fears of not being able to grasp the complex topic and now I can talk all about XML at cocktail parties!The book has some basic review on HTML and then takes you quickly into the world of XML. Take a look at the table of contents and you'll see the coverage is very complete. Like other Microsoft Press books this one is well written and edited.I disagree with Michael (the second reviewer) on the issue of IE. IE 5 is the only browser (as of July 00) that works properly with XML and does so consistently. It's very important for developers to work with the right tools, so the promotion of IE 5 (despite the Microsoft linkage) can be understood and forgiven.	positive
1	Be Who You Are	While reading this with my almost 3 year old...I remembered that we all really need to watch the words we use and the tone of our voice. We were once curious kids too! This book is full of beautiful illustrations... With a great message! Be Who You Are... Follow Your Heart!The negative ways that Cassandra is seen does NOT let that make her... She goes about to find who she really is... With the help of her Angel reminding her that she is never alone!Great book, we love reading it and discussing the message it presents us!	positive

generic lounge singer taps into wedding sentiment

Forgetting the sentiment, this and every other Mikki Verrick recording sounds as if she did it on a 2 track analog machine in her basement. The sound quality and recording are just horrid. And there is no orchestration or richness to it. It's a mediocre lounge singer with an electronic keyboard.

Nice Starter Book

Even though this book is forty five years old, it makes for good reading about what used to be found in the areas that are listed.I have been to a number of these sites but many are now closed to collectors and some of them because of damage to company equipment at quarries.Some of the "along the highway" sites are still accessible and Fairystone State Park has enough material for collectors at the site that is listed. The store is now called "Haynes 57" as of a few years back and no digging tools are allowed. It is all hand picking only. The Cowee Valley of North Carolina still has some of the Ruby and Sapphire Mines open for bucket purchases but most are enriched with non-native minerals.There are more recent books available and they should be checked out to see if some of these sites are accessible.

Not What I'd Hoped For

I had expected, or at least hoped for, a more or less straightforward account of the Mothman phenomenon of some 30 years ago. Instead, this meandering book comprises "hick" UFO sightings that are only infrequently connected with Mothman, and Keel's trust-me-I- know-what-I'm-talking-about theories and explanations. I was particularly dismayed by seemingly endless accounts of men (in black) behaving badly. With little to recommend it (and aside from providing some details on the Mothman sightings, there's no other recommendation), "The Mothman Prophecies" is a considerable disappointment.

"Hooray For Boobies" doesn't have me shouting for joy.

"The Bad Touch" is a funny song. Hats off to Jim for coming up with some great catchy lyrics, and a tune that keeps it real. But, is that all that their new album, "Hooray For Boobies" has to offer? Sadly, yes. After a few cool tunes like "Mope" and "Hell Yeah", the album relys on its shock value of Bad Touch to carry through the rest of the album and deliver energy to such desperate songs like A Lapdance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying, that steals from country, badly, and loses its charm fast. It seemed like an entire CD of garnish, and no real substance, no meat. It felt rushed and choppy, with inane skits in the middle that aren't that funny, despite a chuckle-worthy phone conversation with one of the mothers about vaginas. If you want talented, shock worthy songs that have good flow, and catchy beats, stick with Eminem, and Dr. Dre. The Bloodhound Gang have talent, they just didn't show it with this one.

A Compelling Account

It is easy and understandable to engage in hyperbole when writing an historical account of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Dan Kurzman does this a bit in his "The Bravest Battle: The Twentieth Eight Days of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising." Rather than let the story tell itself, he sometimes interjects his own enthusiastic voice.But by and large he sticks to the facts as we know them. The book's sources are meticulously noted, and range from German files and photographs, courtroom accounts, eyewitness interviews, and assortment of documents and secondary sources.In the end Kurzman has written a compelling account of a most improbable military engagement. And he never once forgets the terrible conditions of those both living and fighting in the ghetto had to endure.

Product Contains Rubber Latex

The merchant did not mention anything about the product containing latex. It wasn't even mentioned on the box. I only found out until I opened the package and saw the individual packages that it said, "Caution: The Packaging of This Product Contains Natural Rubber Latex Which May Cause Allergic Reactions." For some of us, we are very sensitive and easily react to products. When I bought this, I thought it was fine for sensitive skin because it mentioned nothing about the possibility of causing an allergic reaction. I am now unable to use these and not only was it a waste of money, but it is definitely a health hazard to those who are unaware.I just hope that people realize the product may cause allergic reactions and are cautious when buying the item.

Big Disappointment

This book is more like the "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft Manufacturers" then the "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft." It starts with a short and somewhat sketchy history of aviation then goes into the encyclopedia which it titles "The A-Z of the World's Aircraft.". All of the entries are just different aircraft manufacturers. It mentions a little of the companie's history and gives a list of the companies products. While there are many pictures of aircraft in the book, no information is given for any of the aircraft that are mentioned in the book. All it is a list of aircraft manufacturers and what they make or made. I was very disappointed by this book and do not recomend it to anyone.

Thankfully I Don't "Get" It!

Being a fan of multiple genres, artists, styles I always keep an open mind when listening to things the first time. Having got this on loan from the library, what resonated was how how glad I was I didn't actually pay for this dreadful album. The writing, singing and playing is uninspired, formulaic and displays little talent. Reading the various reviews causes me to wonder how someone could give this five stars, or four or three...Thankfully I don't "get" it. Not having smoked, drank or ingested some other type of substance likely had something to do with that. That is the only way I could conceive getting anything out of this and might explain others getting any pleasures out this subpar effort. People, there is so much better music out there than to waste your time on this!

Nostalgic

Miracle is the true story of the "Miracle on Ice" when the1980 US Olympic hockey team won the gold medal by defeating the Soviet Union and Finland. This movie centers around the coach, Herb Brooks, and how he steered his team to the gold medal. It certainly brings back all the nostalgia of that hockey team and is a fun movie to watch.The extra features, especially the ESPN round table with Kurt Russell who played Herb Brooks, and three of the real players, including goalie Jim Craig, team captain Mike Eruzione, and Buzz Schnieder were outstanding additions.

make sure you know what size you want; very differnt curls

These are exactly as stated and work just fine, but I wish I had bought a size, or even two, smaller. Granted I am new to this system, but I find the curls are looser than normal setting rollers (or even electric rollers or curling irons). I like the curls; they are soft and long lasting, but I recommend you buy the set, experiment with the differnt sizes, THEN decide if you need more curlers and if so which size.

Nothing new. It actually made me feel depressed! Being a new book I really thought it would have information I can use. It does not. It may be good for people that are not sure if they are bipolar (thats the only reason I gave it 2 stars) but as for me, it's not worth the money. The same sentences are repeated many times and if you happen to be Bipolar 1 looking for more modern ideas on bipolar in general forget this book, it makes bipolar one look hopeless.

How do you say "This is bad" in Hopelandic?

Sooooooo, I read all the Sigur Ros/( ) reviews here on Amazon ("sheer beauty" "I cried several times during this CD" etc etc) and figured OK - I'll give ( ) a shot. I own the previous disk - which I think is so-so. And.........This has got to be the most overrated load of hooey since "Kid A." There's nothing memorable here; the music's not even that interesting. I thought maybe a second listen might help, but no. The main problem is the singer has only one phrase which he repeats on every song - apparently in lieu of being able to write actual lyrics. It sounds like "OOO-SIGH-OH," or something, and becomes even MORE tedious and irritating the second time around. I dunno. The black lipstick and fingernail polish crowd might dig it after they've skipped their lithium treatments, but ( ) doesn't do it for me. ...

Read this first . . .

If you're interested in this book enough to be here reading reviews, buy it. Don't take any of these "cliche-Tolkein impersonator" reviews seriously. They have no training whatsoever and are critisizing a New York Times bestseller, telling him how it is. Brooks has what, thirteen straight bestsellers? His works have a powerful presence and atmosphere. No one ever accused the writer(s) of the Bible with imitating the Talmud and Torah, did they? For $7, you can make your own decisions. A+.

Dremel 400 Up in smoke

I am going to echo what many others have said. I have used my 400 xpr reasonably for a year maybe once a month. Today I was cutting with it, making sure the vents were clear because I know it can get warm, when it started making an arc welding type of noise and smoke began spewing out. I stopped it and although it was not hot at all, I waited a bit and tried again. It went click, click zap, zap, zap and began smoking like rubber in a bonfire. Fortunately I was out in my shed with lots of ventilation. I am disappointed in this Dremel product. I will try a different brand from now on.

Really glad I took the plunge on this one!

What a show!

While this version of Hamlet tends to skimp on the actual text, Mel Gibson puts on a great show here. The standout performance for me is Glenn Close's performance as Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. What this version of Hamlet has that I feel is lacking from some of the other film versions is the setting--the remoteness and authenticity of the castle sets the scene perfectly for the mood of the film. But STUDENTS, BE WARNED: if you're trying to skip out on reading the play for class and are planning on watching the movie instead, THIS IS NOT THE VERSION TO DO SO.

A history of greed

The book explains what happens when faceless corporations take care of the food business. The independent producers are forced out of business, the nature is manipulated and workers are exploited.The worst aspect is that the children are one of the main target of these companies that craft their ads and products to appear attractive to youngsters.They package all their junk full of fats, chemical and unhealthy products together with little colored gadgets of famous animation characters. This makes wonders in luring the toddlers ( and their parents ).The book does a good job in describing these disgusting strategies.One section that I found very interesting was the one dedicate to flavors, complex chemicals that give actual taste to the food. They are formulated with hundreds of different compounds mixed in the right proportions to trick our mouth.Do you have an idea of what lies behind the common " strawberry aroma " ? Prepare yourself to be shocked.

Waste of precious time (not to mention ink and paper)

I picked up this book to see what Oprah was so excited about, skimmed through to get the gist, started to read more closely, and got so disgusted I couldn't finish it. What was so frustrating was that he identified some real problems, but was way off base with his solutions. His spirituality seemed to be mainly a blend of Christianity and Buddhism. He rails against some Christians for thinking they have the Truth, but seems to believe that what he is writing is Truth. Most frustrating of all was that he often wrenched scripture passages out of context and twisted their meaning. Unless the reader already has a good grasp on the Bible, he may think that Tolle is advocating spiritual message that is consistent with Christianity and end up very confused. My advice is to just skip this book--there are so many better ways to spend your time.

Save Your Money, Buy a Different MP3 Player

My SanDisk MP3 player worked great -- for about three days. Then, after the original battery ran out, it was never the same again. When a brand new battery of the correct type was placed in the device, it was rarely able to detect the new battery. Even when it did, it still did not play a single MP3 file. It also can't be detected by my computer anymore. If only I could go back in time and prevent myself from purchasing this dreadful product.

False Advertisement!!!!!!

My boyfriend saw these KSWISS Albury Ii Mens shoes and liked what he saw. However, they showed two different shoes. When you search for this shoe, it brings up a white shoe, but when you click on the link to select your size and buy the shoe, it shows a totally different shoe. What is shown has dark gray on the side around the toes, a red emblem of Kswiss, yellow/gold on the bottom of the shoe and dark gray on the tongue of the shoe. When I got it in the mail, it was a white shoe. I called amazon and explained. They appoligized and said they would take the incorrect picture down. Shoe buy said they dont have the shoe shown and that it may have been a older version of the shoe that kswiss no longer sells. I am returning. I was very dissapointed and I doubt if I'll buy Kswiss again.

Simple but Thorough

I found this to be a very nice overview of the New Testament. It contains many photographs, maps, and other visuals that break up the text. This was the required textbook for my graduate NT Survey class, but I would consider it more appropriate for undergrad or even high school. If you are looking for something meaty, I would say this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a pleasant, sweeping survey of the NT, then you will likely enjoy this book.

FANTASTIC REFERENCE!!!

I agree, the first guy was clueless. This is a fantastic reference. The key word here is reference; this book does not teach you C++, nor does it try to. It is like a dictionary of the language. This is the book to look stuff up in when writing real code.I like the style of this book much better than that of the "In a Nutshell" reference books, so I plan to get the Java version of this book ("Java 2 Programmer's Reference") instead of "Java in a Nutshell". Stuff is much easier to find.Most compilers come with their own reference on disk, but they usually mix platform dependent stuff with platform independent stuff. I need my code to be as portable as possible, so I prefer to look stuff up in here.It's cheap. It's great. Buy it.

A Coffee Table and Not a Pulpit.

As an artist, I am immensely grateful for the New Kind of Christian trilogy. Brian McLaren steps away from brokering knowledge and chooses instead to ignite a conversation. There's humility here--a pastor who isn't looking for the last word in his writing. This book deserves careful study because though the chapters race by, the questions move in, find the spare rooms in our minds, and start unpacking their suitcases. They're going to be here a while.

Appears great but not durable.

The product looked great on arrival but immediately noticed that the tools were not attached properly to the handles. Every one of the four had play where they attached. Also, I was surprised to see that these toys were metal with hard wooden handles, which would be great if the metal had any strength. Within the first hour, my 4 year old grandson had bent both rake heads

Not a good book if your just learning.

This was the first investment book I bought a few years back. The fundamental sections, regarding earnings growth is OK. The technical analysis sections are extremley un-clear, and poorly written. For example, he often talks about bases and recommends not buying a stock that is 5% above its base. The problem is he never really defines what constitutes a base. There are many more similar problems, and I promise that you will end up doing a lot of assuming. By the time you are done reading this book, you will have more questions than answers. Not a good way to build up confidence. If you are new to investing, you would be much better off buying a Motley Fool, book. If you are not new, and have already read several other books, I doubt you'll take anything worthwhile from this one.

pointless and insulting

I am fascinated with Antarctica. The research being done there is so important and that it is done in such impossible conditions is astounding. The biological, geological, climactic, and astrophysical work is the forefront of science today. This is a scifi novel, it should deal with those subjects. It doesn't. The main characters aren't scientists. The plot does not deal with science at all.It's a very dull political novel with bad dialogue and irritating characters.Granted, there is some history in here, but it is disjointed and does not fit well in the places it has been jammed. If you were watching a movie and someone held up there hand and said "wait, we need to show this historical film for 20min" people would walk out of the theater. Just like I keep walking away from this novel. I genuinely tried to read it, but it is that awful.

It's OK

This game is OK and my 3-year-old son plays it from time to time. He loves Dora and Diego, so I thought this would be a great hit, but it has been pretty disappointing. There are two game "tracks" with 3 levels of difficulty. My son completed both tracks in about 30 minutes. It's pretty repetitive after that, even at higher skill levels. He gets pretty bored with the long-winded videos in between the actual games.I took off an extra star for requiring that the CD be in the computer when he plays the software. It's 2011 now -- get with the program. You require me to register the program any way, so use a license number like every other software company.

A disappointment

This is definitely not a standard romance novel, and Carla Kelly obviously enjoyed surprising the reader by pairing the heroine with the less-likely of her two suitors. I thought the good doctor was an estimable man and worthy of the heroine, although I couldn't feel the romance between them. To me the disappointment in the novel was in the way the author changed Nez, cured him of his alcoholism, brought him out of his self-absorption and made him aware of other people and the good things he could do for them---in short, reformed him and turned him into a man even more worthy of the heroine. But for what? Usually, a gentleman so improved and reformed wins the heroine in a romance novel, but in this one he walks away with empty arms at the end. What a letdown! I felt so depressed after I finished this one that I decided never to pick up another Carla Kelly novel, just in case she lets me down like this again.

Our Father Abraham

Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian FaithA book every Christian should read. We cannot fully understand the teachings of Jesus and our Bible without a through knowledge of Jewish history and culture. We worship a Jewish savior, who worshiped in a synagogue, honored and practiced Jewish rituals. We read from a Jewish book, our Bible written by Jewish men. To fully understand the symbolism in the Bible we must know something about Jewish religeous practices.Christianity is a branch attached to a tree that has its roots in Judaism This book is one of the best available for a deeper understanding of Jewish culture and religeon. I highly reccomend this book to all Christains wishing to have a deeper understanding of their faith and its beginnings.

Too much RED DYE!!

I didn't wanted to buy anything that was made with rawhide but a friend gave my pup a Dingo and he loved it. So I forced myself and brought my first bag of Dingo Dental Bones a month ago. Stitch loved it! I loved it too because he actually spent a good 45 minutes~2 hours on a Dingo Dental Bone. I didn't really like the red dye in the chicken meat but it wasn't overwhelming. If you actually crack a piece of the chicken off you can still see some non-dyed chicken.So I ordered a second bag of Dingo, just the original red package. The red dye was so strong that the whole piece of chicken was blood red and it even DYED the rawhide pinkish red!! It's kind of ridiculous to dye something the dog can smell! It's not necessary as long it tastes delicious.Anyhow I am on the search for something else, hopefully a better alternative other than Dingos.At least it wasn't made in China.

Wonderfully Different and Imaginative!

"Helm" is one of the better stories I have read in a long time. It is well written, the story line is fresh, new and well thought out. The characters, other than the principal two or three are not so exhaustively deep as to boar or to slow down the work. The principals are well developed, certainly well enough for this story. This is a single self-contained story, no series, no trilogy, a great rarity these days and a welcome one I might add.It has everything, a little action, a little romance, a little intrigue. There are parts where martial arts practice are describe in some detail and that can drag just a little, but these parts are fairly short and presented well enough to be interesting to most.I liked this book. I liked it enough to make it part of my permanent collection and that doesn't happen every often anymore. I have found myself rereading it at least half a dozen times.Highly recommended.

A real funny story with some very real moments.

I love Van Whitfield's writing style. "Something's Wrong With Your Scale!" is a funny book with some real issues about being over weight that are taken seriously. I shared this book with my teenage daughter. I read it first and had a hard time not giving away parts of the book before she finished. This book has lots of comedy in it that just makes you laugh out loud. While my daughter was reading the book and laughing I would say where are you now? She would say "eating the cheese cake" or "in the restaurant" or "at the mail box" and we would look at each other and laugh. I had so much fun sharing this book with my daughter. We can't wait for the next book. We have our own little book club going now.

The ego has landed

The ego has landed! This novel began with an idea that,finally, wouldn't expand beyond the author's idea that he is gordon --Gordon! -- and we should all pant at every word. It's unfortunate because Lish is a superb writer of short fiction. We have 155 pages, with about 50% of the left hand pages blank and many of the right facing pages are less than half filled. Finally, the throbbing ego here makes the blank pages the best part of the story. John Herrmann <herrmann@libby.org>

The Ataris the way they were meant to sound

Forget So Long Astoria. This is how The Ataris should be heard. These 6 songs pack emotion into pop-punk (but it's not emo - that's an important distinction) and come off sounding like a combination of the Descendents and the Smoking Popes. They avoid the emo trap they would later fall into by packing these songs with equal doses of emotion and humor. "My So-Called Life" is a tribute to an actress on the TV show of the same name, and the classic "San Dimas High School Football Rules" takes its name from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Even though it's only an E.P, Look Forward To Failure is a quintessential Ataris record.

A Thrilling Ride

Mel Gibson has offered a candid look at one of the most eccentric cultures in the western hemisphere. This action-soaked adventure takes you for a ride and doesn't let you off until the very end.The protagonist, Jaguar Paw is captured, along with the survivors of his village, and taken to the ancient Mayan city, where he is to be offered up as a blood sacrifice in one of the infamous Mayan rituals. Jaguar Paw then makes one of the most exciting attempts to escape certain death that I have seen on film in a few years.From the ancient Mayan city through barren fields, to the rain forest, Jaguar Paw struggles to elude his dogged pursuers from without, and the enemy from within, fear.This movie is a sure bet if it's action you are looking for. It also piques the curiosity about ancient Mayan civilization. It took me a while to get into the subtitles, but the actors speaking in the native tongue lend a certain authenticity to the overall experience.

What was all the fuss about?

After giving this book 300 pages of my time I finally had to give it up. I kept waiting for Jack, the main character, to grow on me. Even with his self-loathing, I found him to be extremely arrogant. I found his daughter to be too perfect and charming, and the rest of his family just plain obnoxious. Another thing I foung annoying was the way that all the characters went on and on about how beautiful and charming Jack's dead wife was, noone seemed to harbor any anger about the fact that she killed herself. Perhaps you have to be from the south to get into these characters, but I certainly hope that all southerners aren't this disfunctional and cliche.

fragile knobs - they will break trust me

We had four knobs installed in our new home. The electrician broken one during the installation. We broken the remaining knobs within a short time period. The sad part is that after the first one broken, we realized how fragile the knobs were and were extra careful, but they still snapped off. So now we are left with jagged pointy plastic stems to control the light and fan. The vendor should be ashamed to continue to sell this inferior product. If they did any kind of quality assurance testing, it would have been caught.

What a mistake- save your money

Well, I suppose there is something for everyone, but this book was not for me. I even question if someone could even write such a diluted, empty book based in ridiculous illusions of spirituality. In fact, it seemed that one of her top priorities was proving that at 60, young men are still attracted to her. Who cares? I personally feel that she never did the walk but bases her experiences in loose facts read elsewhere that consequently allow her to give the superficial appearance of having walked the ancient pilgrimage route.For a really beautiful, wonderful, inspirational, and truly spiritual account of a 60 year old woman that actually, and evidently, walked the trail last year I would instead recommend "Walk in a Relaxed Manner: Life Lessons from the Camino" by Joyce Rupp. That book was EXCELLENT; sincere and moving.Save your money.

It's a Matter of Taste

Shelby Foote's narrative style might appeal to some, but it doesn't work for me. I find his writing style just gets in the way of an already compelling subject. It feels as if he's trying too hard to sound erudite. I found Stephen Sears account of Gettysburg a much better smoother read.The fact that Foote is not a trained historian is also evident as his account of Gettysburg is full of the anecdotes that most historians have since determined to be some of the many myths of the battle of Gettysburg.

Definitely not a side project!

Being a devoted fan of Tool, I was sceptical at first about Maynard James Keenan's "other band." But I decided to throw caution to the wind and purchase the CD anyway. I was impressed with the first single of Mer de Noms, "Judith" and I could definitely hear similarities between APC and Tool. But after listening to the Mer de Noms, I was once again amazed by Keenan's musical genius. Although I was constantly reminded of Tool, while listening, Maynard does a terrific job of establishing A Perfect Circle's own sound. Expecting the rest of the CD to be like Judith, I was surprised to hear such beautiful ballads as "Orestes" and "3 Libras." With Maynard's soothing vocals, Billy Howerdel, Paz Lenchantin, Josh Freese, and Troy Van Leeuwen providing the music, this band is definitely not a side project of Keenan's. I constantly listen it, and have yet to get tired of it - and I doubt I ever will. This CD was money well spent and worth every penny!

Quite informative!

I am thankful that I had previously read snippets of text throughout this book, before sitting down to read it cover to cover. If not, I probably would have never made it through the first chapter. Why? Because the book starts off with radical religious views being stated as matter-of-fact scientific research. I find this distracting, irritating and highly inappropriete; as I read science related books for the purpose of science, NOT to be indoctinated into someone's belief system...That being said. Once one gets passed the bulk of "personal religious views being stated as fact", the book is very enjoyable to read and quite informative. It has no doubt awakened a sense of urgentness, excitement and direction in the care of this little plot of land I tend to, here in the PNW, USofA.

There is nothing much to recommend about this CD, other than the songs "Sunny Afternoon" and "All Day And All Of The Night". The rest is filler.

Legendary figures made real, legendary times brought to life

Readers looking for heroic adventures and mighty warriors set against the turmoil of the Migration Age will not be disappointed. But it is the struggle of Hagan, a young man coming to age in a time of great upheavals in politics, religion and culture that makes this story so compelling. We see beyond the dark and brooding Hagan of Grundy's earlier Rhinegold, into the heart of the man who must learn to balance honor and loyalty to his people with his own spiritual journey. Grundy lets us share the journey as Hagan grows into his dual birthright of princely duty and shamanistic power. If you liked Rhinegold, you will love Attila's treasure.

The horns section is WAY too loud, the vocals are annoying and horrible, and this is probably the worst ska band out there.

best bang for your buck

I seem to always be disappointed by the headphones I get. The better the sound quality, the bigger they are, and not many people want to lug the big ones around with their ipod. Others are smaller and have great sound quality but are really uncomfortable or just too expensive. I usually don't go with ear buds because they never fit right and just fall out of your ear.These headphones seem to work on every level. They're small, they're VERY comfortable (I actually fell asleep with them in my ears last night), they don't fall out of my ears, and the sound quality is good. How good? I'm no audio nerd, so others are better to tell you about that, but the sound quality is rich and full. I would have been fine with all that, but I noticed that the noise reduction works pretty well too.For $20, you really can't go wrong with these. I have one for my laptop, and I'm going to get another set for my iPod.

Best book on XML

This is an excellent book to introduce you to XML and how to employ it in the real world. I picked this book up two weekends ago after getting totally frustrated with "XML for Dummies" (avoid that book!). This book set aside my fears of not being able to grasp the complex topic and now I can talk all about XML at cocktail parties!The book has some basic review on HTML and then takes you quickly into the world of XML. Take a look at the table of contents and you'll see the coverage is very complete. Like other Microsoft Press books this one is well written and edited.I disagree with Michael (the second reviewer) on the issue of IE. IE 5 is the only browser (as of July 00) that works properly with XML and does so consistently. It's very important for developers to work with the right tools, so the promotion of IE 5 (despite the Microsoft linkage) can be understood and forgiven.
