1	Best nutritional guide for any athlete	My trainer turned me on to this cookbook and I am glade he did. He is a former Mr Maryland and he is VERY nutritional conscious. I highly recommend this book for any athlete, be he novice or be he pro .... this is the one to use.	positive
1	If you liked the column, you'll like the book	While not the best-written or most compelling chick lit out there, Nancy Chan's diary is an entertaining and revealing look into the ups and downs in the world of the high-priced hooker. Especially in light of the Spitzer kerfuffle in New York, that world holds a lot of interest for us average, non-prostitute gals. Obviously there's quite a bit about explicit sex in this book, so it isn't for kids or the ultra-sensitive, but isn't a bodice-ripper either - no "throbbing members" here. Quan's - and Nancy's - approach to sex is matter-of-fact, ho-hum it's a job so why make a big deal? If you liked the Salon column, you'll like the book - same stuff, only more in-depth so you can finally found out what happened to Nancy outside the confines of the column. Recommended.	positive
0	Ridiculously simple	This is the first SEP book I've read and it will definitely be the last. The story was ridiculous, ridiculously simple, and not at all believable, but what really irritated me was writing a story about people in a town in Mississippi whose personalities all arrested at 15. If this is any reflection on the people of Mississippi, I'll make it a point to stay far far away. This book is such a waste of time when there are so many authors who deserve real praise.	negative
1	Best documentary ever	If you love history, or documentaries, but especially if you love baseball you simly must watch this series. It is right up there with KB's Jazz and Civil war documentaries.	positive
0	Have you got the online docs ? (err.. yes)	I don't like slating books so I am not about to start.PostgreSQL Essential Reference is not bad. If it actually contained more details, fuller explanations, more or better examples than the docs that come free with postgres then it would be well worth having. As such, IMHO it actually offers less for the most part.I am really trying to find a place for this on someone's book shelf. If you are a beginner and don't have access to the online docs then you might find something here. If not I would heartily recommend Bruce Momjian's online (or printed) work as a companion to the original potgreSQL manual	negative
1	This is what reality TV should be all about!	I know so many guys, furry and not, who have this fantasy about getting a full body trim from a naked barber, or being that naked barber having fun with the clippers with a furry friend.This video is all of that and MORE! From CraigsList to chatrooms, guys are always looking for another guy to do exactly what this video does. What a lucky find for me - to find this video - and how lucky those two guys were to find each other and have fun.	positive
1	awesome	I got two of these and they look great and have exceeded my expectations. Solid wood with a nice finish. They are not that wide but that's what I wanted. They could go into an expensive beach house no problem. They have a nice open look and make my room look more contemporary. It's perfect for framed pictures, vases, books, boxes, etc. I keep a basket on one shelf for keys and sunglasses. There were a few minor places that finish was too thin, but I rubbed them with some Murphies oil and they look great.	positive
0	Not impressed	Either I have an extremely stubborn dog, or this isn't what it's cracked up to be. I can hear the sound. But I had to try it.	negative
1	Car Trunk	I was looking for something to put some tools in for the truck of our car...excellent application for some basic tools.	positive
1	Great Film!	A great flick!A definite MUST for your collection!This movie has great acting, a great story, and KILLER MUSIC!ENJOY!	positive
1	this one is very good to me	a little problem when I install it,but after one day, it works with no reason.very stable, keeping connected.great for this price.	positive
1	Intelligent enough to be annoying	You know those people who are just smart enough to have opinions and feel the need to force them down your throat? Well here we have another one. Whether it be Mr Bourdain's constant quoting of famous figures (Yes, we get it. You are well read and smart) or the way he looks on everything with disdain, the snooty and holier than thou attitude comes through in his writing. Yes, it is funny, but it makes me resent the fact that a schmuck like him can become rich and famous.. subsequently leaving his wife for a younger more attractive woman......	positive
1	FIVE STARS FOR THE TEXTURED PLOT, ONE STAR FOR DVD QUALITY	The movie itself is perhaps the most chaotic plot in the history of mystery yarns, which is why it helps a lot that there are two versions of the movie on the disc. It's a very well scripted moody noir that should be on your watch list, if only for Bacall's steamy scenes (and this was 1946!)My quibbles arise with the quality of the print. It is tragic, at times the B&W; picture totally fades out, especially on the right-hand side of the screen, turning several lighter shades of gray or brown. The 1945 version of the movie seems slightly less afflicted than the 1946 one. This has to be one of the best detective thrillers of all time and certainly deserved a lot better digital transfer than the blurry dated print it has been left as.	positive
0	WOW! Dude please write alone!	1632 was awesome. 1633 was horrible. It was a very hard read and was a depressing purchase.	negative
1	Netgear 32 Bit PCMCIA Card Bus	I purchased this product to us on my Dell 8100 Inspiron Laptop.The first one I received I used for a few days then it had a problem; Amazon replaced it in lightning time and emailed me a Return Authorization Postage Paid Label. I have not had a problem since and I think this product is awesome.I am not up the the times with wireless and don't plan to be until my laptop blows up. I also purchased the D-Link card Bus at the same time which is equally as good as the Neygear also guarantees their product and will send out a new product if yours is defective in the first 30 days and a refurbished one after 30 days.	positive
1	It makes me feel like it's the year 2525!	I didn't have the money to afford this, but I got one anyway with my nearly maxed out credit card....And I'm glad I did! It's a system too beautiful for words. Everything about it is near perfect. Maybe the only grip I have is, I don't understand why there isn't two analog sticks. I unfortunately am one of the ones who got one with "dead pixels". Two of them. But, they don't bother me at all. I'm not going to return my system because of them. I purchased THUG2 remix for my first game, and it plays great. It's sort of awkward to do anything on it at first. I've been playing playstation games for years now, so to me it kind of feels like I'm constantly looking at the controller to see what buttons to press. It's worth the money! Buy one right now.	positive
1	a former democrat who loved this book	As a recovering Democrat (10 years and counting), this was a hilarious breath of fresh air that I enjoyed just as much as my nephew! With the torrent of dishonest, left-wing, scare-your-children propaganda streaming into our schools (An Inconvenient Truth being the latest), it's nice to see a light-hearted children's book that defends conservative principles, and at the same time, effectively tweaks that mini-totalitarian that lives inside every liberal. If you don't believe me, just check out the hate-filled screed offered up by the angry, "one-star," sons-of-the-sixties reviewers of this book. "You want to teach your children that independence, self-reliance and freedom from government will lead to a happy and fruitful life? How dare you!!"	positive
1	New Saga New Madness	This latest installment shows that the series isn't just a fighting mindless anime. This DVD finally shows off the intelligent aspect of Yu Yu Hakusho and also keeps its viewers on the end. 4 episodes of bliss... and i wont ruin what happens by blabbing about the synopsis. Pick it up YYH fans	positive
1	I assume this is the new album vuela mas alto	This album is great a new more euro style of music. But with the Onda vaselina style of music its good I recomend it. Muy buen disco un nuevo estilo pero con el sabor de la onda vaselina	positive
1	Not a bad start	Techno Ejay was my first try at making my own Techno. It'spretty versatile, and easy to get started with. It has all of themajor features that all the various music sequencer software packages do, plus a HUGE library of sounds already included that you can experiment with.One gripe would be that it doesn't allow you to edit .wav files with zoom-in/out-in-time and cut-and-paste. On the other hand, this thing has so many features, it may just be in there somewhere.There is also no drum kit, and it doesn't have a filter sweep tool, so you're pretty much stuck with the pre-made samples or the simple melody generator. But, there are so many samples provided that you'll spend days playing with variations before you get to the point where you feel the need to make your own.All-in-all, this was a good investment in my opinion. Not the whole enchilada, but a great way to get exposed to the technology without spending a lot.	positive
1	The Ultimate	A phenomenal example of the importance of sound in movies; I absolutely love this version. There is something about black and white dramas that really floats my boat. An amazing film, beautifully shot and acted.	positive
0	Worst Game Ever	This game is the biggest waste of $20 that I've ever seen. Stupid, boring, slow, pointless.Anybody want mine?	negative
0	disappointing	i read t.g.'s harvest and life support and absolutely could not wait for this book to come out. what a big disappointment. as someone who can read 3 novels a week, this novel took me a month to struggle through.	negative
0	Garbage from beginning to end	This is a garbage movie. The only thing worse than the beginning and middle of the movie was the end! The movie is an insult to not only those unfortunate to watch it but also to the actors. I feel sorry that Melanie Griffith had to play such a disgusting and trite role. And all the lines in the movie are trash.	negative
1	Humorous, thoughtful, thrilling, intricate, and romantic!!!	Definately not the same typical, humdrum, shallow plot. I thought Elizabeth Bennet to be the perfect...heroine?!? She was playful, quick witted, funny, and certainly not without her faults! I don't want to give any hints to future readers, so I'll just say that Mr._______ was...well, I can't find the words to fully describe, so it will be up to you as the readers to find out yourself! The book was realistic and I thought the eighteenth century English language to be fully enchanting. I think my most favorite parts were when Elizabeth refuses to marry Mr.Collins, her cousin (YUCK!), and her discussion with Lady Catherine deBourgh! I was literally sitting at the edge of my chair while reading certain parts, and I must admit, falling asleep at others (though these parts were short and well worth it)! The ending was absolutely wonderful, to say the least. READ IT!!!	positive
1	Fast Delivery	I was pleased with the fast delivery, I ordered the black frame which i think complimented it well, it seems sturdy enough and everyone loves it...love he fact how they combined smaller pics to make up this pic	positive
1	Very informative and motivating!	As a beginner in issues related with capital markets and moreover with commodities, I do deeply recommend this book for those who are curious about it and foresee a good oportunity in investing on it. The author has used a very user friendly language, updating and motivating the reader in all aspects related to this current new investiment opportunity.	positive
1	NUDE TIME TRAVEL NEVER FELT SO GOOD	You know a book is going to be good when your sexy lead character is naked right from page one. With that said, SEXY NINJA GIRL is one heck of a ride!Last time we saw Ai, she'd been dumped into limbo, but now she's in ancient Japan and is a sexy ninja leader. Plenty of outrageous fight scenes follow, most of which involve Ai's clothing being ripped to shreds and falling off of her.Even the climax is fun, as Ai creates her own undoing when faced with a ghost of the historic past. TIME TRAVELER AI is simply much-o fun, and very recommended to fans of HEAVY METAL comics, or MILO MANERA.	positive
0	Good Collection, But Unimpressive Presentation	In my opinion, this book is just a collection of the four documents that have or do define the pillars that support the foundation of America. The author tries to convey his goal in interpreting these four documents but he does a poor job at making the goal clear. The consequence is that the reader is left to ponder exactly what points are being made throughout. And in the end, the conclusion is effectively meaningless since there was no possibility for the reader to achieve a focus on the gist of what Cox intended. I would not recommend this book unless all you want are these four founding documents under one cover.	negative
0	too many examples	I was confused by the many examples. Most of the times I did not see how they fit together in the theory. Perhaps I would have appreciate it more, had I known some algebraic geometry first.	negative
0	King Kong vs Godzilla	I got these movies for my husband, he likes them but they aren't done very well.	negative
0	Violence, violence and just more violence!!!!	Probably the worst movie I have seen! Just a series of cliche special effects and comic book writing. The characters have no development. At least in the original Conan, you can seen his development and how he became the character. The music in the original Conan might have been corny but at least memorable. The fight scenes seem a bit too staged and the same flipping in the air ballet fight sequences are like others you have seen in several others movies. In my opinion, waste of two hours. For me to take the time to write this review just states how bad this movie really is. Don't waste your time. Stinko!!!	negative
0	What a Mess!	A truly great trilogy of movies (particularly the first two), reproduced in a manner that makes them almost unwatchable. Many times the actors are completely indistinguishable. This was a rotten thing to do to these movies.	negative
1	Okay these kids can't sing .. but neither can my kids...	All my girls ages 2, 7, and 10, love this disc. They also like music by "real" recording artists but this is really fun for them to sing along to and if they like it then I think it fufills it's purpose (which is to entertain kids, not adults). I also like that they can hear popular music without having to worry about unsuitable lyrics.	positive
0	OK for traveling, but ...	I've been buying Conair blow dryers almost since they were invented (I'm 63) and this is the first one I've had a problem with. First of all, I did think it was louder (or higher pitched) than I was used to. Cord, folding, etc. works fine. However, lately I haven't been able to push the switch into the "High" position. I thought maybe it had to do with the reset button or something, but no luck. If I still have the receipt, I'll try to return it and get something else.	negative
1	A Very Good Read	"The Battle of An Loc" by James Wilbanks. A must have book for anyone with an interest in Viet-Nam. This is a very good read. The author, James Wilbanks, was present and wounded at An Loc. This is not only his account, but gives insights from the North Vietnamese and US Advisors after action reports plus other communist documents. The role of the unending US air support, the bravery of the US air crews, and the orchestration by the Forward Air Controllers to the battle's victory for the ARVN and US Advisors is covered in warranted great detail. The inability of the NVA to have armor and infantry work together in more conventional warfare is clearly brought to light and documented. Wilbanks gives insights into Richard Nixon's Vietnamization's perceived success by the politicians and its ultimate failures. This is a must have read and must have addition to the library for anyone with interest in the war in Viet-Nam.	positive
0	Died after only 1 year	The unit stopped working after only a little more than 1 year. Replacing bulbs no help. Transformer must be defective. A lot of money for one year's use!!	negative
1	Love it!!	Some of my favourite artists and tracks have been given a "new" sound that does not destroy the image of the original.I bought this album for "Summer Breeze", but now that I have listened to it many times I am very happy with the whole album. Its great to hear Nicolette Larson again as well as George Benson.	positive
0	Horrible Movie, Very Unappropiate	I was very offended when I first saw this movie. First, Ralphie wanted a gun! Kids should not be exposed to the fact that there is such thing as a gun in this world, they'll shoot their precious little eye out when they hear that guns exist. Second, kids will never in their life hear F---, unless they see this movie. Third of all, kids think of Santa Claus as very nice, not as the really mean person in this movie. Also, they should not know that sometimes you have to wait in long lines! Also, they implied that the cute little bunny outfit is ugly and should not be worn by 10-year old boys. I want one of those for my thirteen year old boy! No, seriously I LOVED IT! Any of you who were complaining about the movie have no sense of humor and are not geared for the 21st century. You can see it from 8pm to 8pm EST Christmas Eve/Day on TNT.Buy it on video too, but I heard the DVD version was bad, stick with VHS. FIVE STARS!	negative
1	I'm no fire-jumper but...	This is one cool an practical belt. Just make sure you don't buy the heavy duty version as it comes with Velcro and it is almost impossible to thread through your belt loops. For once light duty beats heavy duty. Bison makes some good and unique stuff.	positive
0	Terrible Terrible Novel	If you think that WWF is good drama with interesting characters than this book is for you. There is barely a semblance of a plot, the characters are not developed beyond any stereotype of good vs. bad, and the book seems to exist in order to describe very very non-creative ways to kill people. With a tag line of "There are only two good guys and one of them is {gasp} a lawyer." this author is obviously pandering to the lowest most uneducated group of American culture.	negative
0	Interesting fad item, shoddily made	Lomo got a lot of ink in late 2000, early 2001, so I bought one for about a hundred pounds in the little Lomo gallery in Clerkenwell, London. The camera was easy to use and a natural for me. I like available-light photography and took some nice shots in elevators and the London Underground, in the World Trade Center concourse in New York, and street scenes everywhere.I had it with me in Hoboken on Sept. 11, 2001, and shot a roll or two of the smoke-plumed downtown Manhattan. ALAS! Only one frame came out. I tried another few rolls--no dice. Apparently the shutter is stuck. I am stuck myself...on whether to throw the thing out or fashion it into some clever objet d'art. What do you do with a dead Lomo, anyway?We all have to kiss frogs sometimes, and this is one of mine. A nice Rollei or Olympus for the same money would have been a better buy, and I think that will be my next point-and-shoot purchase.	negative
1	Two "Thumb" up.	This is the one Dinosaur Jr. release I can't imagine anyone not liking. It's the beginning of the "new" phase of DJ, yet it still basically sounds like old DJ. "The Wagon" and "Puke + Cry" are both rockin' songs and a good start to the album, and I also really like "Flying Cloud". However it's the last half of the disc that really shines for me. "Water" is a catchy mid-tempo track, "Muck" is one of their best rock-outs ever, and "Thumb" is magical and mellow. Fans of either "Bug" or "Where You Been" should totally dig "Green Mind". If nothing else, the girl on the cover is smokin'.	positive
1	A beautiful story	This truly is a beautiful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What an interesting insight into 1960's America and civil rights. The characters are interesting and I love the sense of family and togetherness Lily finds in a very unlikely place. A definite must read.	positive
0	wrong information could loose you money	This book had the wrong statute of limitations, the amount of time I had to sue, for my state. Who would have been responsible if I had followed the advice of this PhD and missed the deadlince to file a claim?	negative
1	Creative Wedding Organizer & Planner is Amazing!	Theresa Chan's wedding organizer and planner is a must for any bride. I loved the fact that it is a binder and I was able to add my own pictures to the book. The book includes all the essential sections for a wedding and I particularly appreciated that she outlined many things a bride should consider that I never thought of.I have been married for a few months now and have a wonderful keepsake binder of my wedding which I can pass on to my future children and grandchildren. The quality of the binder and its contents are outstanding.	positive
1	Comfort	Made my camper matress alot more comfortable. I use it right on top of the mattress for a great nights sleep.	positive
1	good d**dy, but too much hate. The first 2 were better	I love The Prodigy, but with the release of this alblum, its apparent that they have become far too Americanized. Experience and Music for the Jilted generation were far better than this, which seems to target fans of more hate-oriented music such as Nine Inch Nails. CAN'T WE ALL JUST LIVE TOGETHER??!??!??!??	positive
1	If you buy only one book....	Buy this book...you will make money if you follow the advise to go with index funds...skip the brokers and money managers...they are salespeople trying to hack out a living.	positive
1	Incredible DVD, but the music makes it	I first saw Haunted Castle as a feature at the IMAX in New Orleans, LA. The imagery alone was enough to astound, but the music that follows the story added a dimension that no pop-up graphics could. The band which supplies the music, Arid, also performs a live set at the end. The lead singer Jasper stars as the film's lead character in a sticky situation. You will love this DVD, even if only for the music. And guaranteed you'll be left wondering who that enchanted voice (and face) belongs to long after the credits roll.	positive
0	great idea but	needs improvement. The pin/bolt is too short, and it does not reach long enough to pass the rail over which the door slides to lock on the floor. What I did was basically drill a 3/4" hole in the floor and place a stainless steel piece of pipe protruding about one inch over the floor, inside the rail, so that the bolt lock there, problem solved, works great but2 stars for all the trouble involved in installing.	negative
1	Visually Stunning	An art book that doesn't get eaten alive by its art direction, a self-guided tour of the artistic self promotion of the punk rock era. Kudos to the art director, John Susoeff, for not getting carried and burying the true stars of this book: The flyers. Brilliant.	positive
0	bad bad bad bad bad bad bad	go back to spanish you migh sell there because here ur not horrible artist	negative
0	Big Disappointment	This book was a real disappointment. The characters are one-dimensional, the "mystery" obvious, and the relationships unbelieveable. Our detective and his lover wax hot and cold on each other for no discernible reason, many characters (notably the family with the Down's Syndrome child) appear to have no relationship to the plot, and the immediate adversary relationship between the hero and his employers makes no sense. I was expecting something that would do for Alaska what Tony Hillerman has done for the Southwest, but our 50th state really got a bum rap!	negative
0	Total disappointment	Cutting edge comedians, without their cutting edge material. What a letdown... only the safest routines, with completely inane commentary ("One thing is certain. We all like to laugh." How profound.)Don't waste your money.	negative
0	Terrible!	The markers don't draw well and markers don't stay well in holder. I often have to redraw a line or two. Don't waste your money, get a "vice grip" staff maker.	negative
1	It summarizes lot of good technical informations	Even though it didn't cover enough info for CCNA, it explains extremely well. Easy understanding. A book you must keep.	positive
0	Avoid	i actually gave this zero stars, but amazon for some reason (?) wouldn't let me. i bought this CD in the hopes of purchasing a quality piece of history. what i received was a CD in which the tracks on the CD did not match the tracks on the tracklist. it's a total rip-off.	negative
1	Pretty Good	I like the product but not as good as the other brand... Love the price! The smell is great but it does seem to run a little thin. I've only used it as a body wash and facial cleanser and it works fine. Not sure how it does in laundry or on your dishes.	positive
1	Great Casino Game	It is an oldie but a goodie. My dad and I really enjoy playing this game and even playing the built-in story that comes with it with Adam West. I love the card tables and playing craps.The slot machines are really fun too...give it a try...it is a simple yet good looking and feel game.	positive
0	Disappointment	I should have listened to other reviewers. It looked so funny when we saw it on America's Funniest Videos that we couldn't resist trying it for ourselves. We were prepared with duct tape to re-enforce the suction cups, but it wasn't enough.It was a disappointment and earned the remark, "Was this supposed to be funny?":C	negative
0	Excellent album from a great band... But the "ENHANCED" reissue really sucks!!!	Back in the late 70s, Pop-Rock bands like JOURNEY (i.e. STYX, KANSAS, REO Speedwagon) ruled the American Rock music layout. Powerful tunes with wonderful vocal Queen-esque works, awesome guitar riffs, keyboards and drums, as well as very good, mellow ballads were the standards in those days."Infinity" was one of the best musical products of that era. However, why to spoil so much an excellent album, reissuing it on an "ENHANCED" version...???? Hey... Try to play this CD on some older CD players (portable/car/home) and you'll have some problems... My suggestion: Try to get any good European (Germany-Holland-France), older 1990s reissue of this great Journey album, you will get equal outstanding sound quality, without the reproduction problems!!	negative
0	Expected better	Unlike the other reviewers, I did not appreciate this book. Not being one to leave a book unfinished, I persisted despite my deepening dislike. The plot is fast-paced only because the text skips from high point to high point because so few events of any importance happen. The main characters are shallowly delineated, and the peripheral ones even more so. The author attempts to humanize and empathize with the mass-murdering, psychotic antagonist (no spoilers, he's described as such on the jacket) but really tries too hard with too little effect. The protagonists scarcely seem like real people. While the book is sumptuously researched (how accurately, I don't know), the details tend to fall flat. Save your time and read something more recent and more interesting.	negative
1	Best lawn sprinkler yet-	We just totally stripped and replanted out entire yard. We used this sprinkler exclusively and it was outstanding. Easy to move, doesn't tip over like most units and has a wide broadcast. Would have rated it 5 stars but the directional settings were difficult to set just right and it sometimes gets stuck in one position. Otherwise I highly recommend it!	positive
0	these globes were rejects	I've bought globes before, but from a different vendor, and I loved them! However, these appear to be seconds or rejects because the stems were super narrow. That makes it extremely time consuming and nearly impossible to fill the globes. Kind of defeats the whole idea of having a time saving watering system!	negative
0	Obviously not a real book ...	because it has not been reviewed by Harriet Klausner.Please get back to me once this (accidental?) oversight has been corrected. Thanks.	negative
1	If there was a fourth CD...	In the immortal words of Frank Costanza, "Rolling Stone, What the hell were you thinking?!" No Joni Mitchell? Half the artists on this list reference her and Patsy Cline as influences to their music. Easily six or so artists could've been bumped onto a fourth CD to make room for some of the other women listed by other reviewers. By the way, BS (Britney Spears), should not be on the list! There's the biggest Disney Corp sell-out there ever was!	positive
1	Scooby-Doo	I bought the Scooby Doo The Mystery Begins for my 4 and 5 year old Grandson's. They absolutely love it, they love Scooby Doo. Their Dad had to hide it on them because they would sneak while the family was sleeping. I bought it from Amazon and received it with in 4 days.	positive
1	Recommended for independent travelers and collections catering to them	A fine take-along tote is Charles Rawlings-Way's NEW ZEALAND, offering full coverage of the costs, culture, and activities possible throughout New Zealand. Over 150 maps and entries covering everything from festivals and history to travel within the country make this a take-along 'must' recommended for independent travelers and collections catering to them.	positive
0	Doesn't work with Leopard	After I upgraded my Mac Pro to OS 1.5, I also upgraded Parallels Desktop to Version 3.0. It is a complete disaster. Unlike before the upgrades, Parallels Desktop now runs Windows very slow and jerky. Many programs won't start, including programs as basic and essential as Microsoft Office. Some other programs work in a sort of hobbled mode, with some features responding and others not. One improvement is that the program allows you to use USB devices as soon as you plug them in, without reconfiguring anything. However, sound input from USB devices suffers static and interruptions. After the upgrade, Parallels Desktop even refused to allow access to the contents of a CD. Basically, it's as bad as having Virtual PC back!No, it's even weirder. If I try to insert a CD with Parallels Desktop running, the CD tray opens and immediately shuts. I have to insert disks before I've launched Parallels and then quit Parallels in order to remove them.	negative
1	Gilligan's Island set	Everything I expected, the set is laid out great to find any show you like with a short description of each.	positive
0	Overly simplistic world	I plodded through to the end of this book, hoping that Mr. Head's writing style and depiction of the world would break out of the simplistic. I was disappointed. The world and the motivations of the humans that live in it, both in positions of power and among the common folk, are much, much more complex than in this book. The only redeeming quality of the book is as the basis to some hypothetical wargame scenarios (say for Harpoon 4). Otherwise, you won't lose anything by not reading it. You're better off buying a good history book for the money.	negative
0	Not what I expect from Justin	I have worn Justin Brand boots for 20+ years and I really thought these were fake when I first put them on. These are stiff, rubber soled, with a very thin insole. My 10 year old Justin boots were comfortable the first time I put them on so I bought 2 pair. My previous Justin boots were the best most comfortable shoes I ever wore so I am very surprised by these.I pay about this much to have a new sole put on my old Justin boots so it seemed like a bargain until I tried them on. My cobbler says he can't replace the soles because they are rubber. He can only replace leather soles. I deleted every clothing item I was considering to buy from my Amazon wish list. I was just so disappointed.	negative
1	They Rock... You've never heard of them...	I was reccomended to Chronic Future by a friend so I checked them out, I downloaded a couple tracks(Legally) to give a listen too, and I was pleased to say the least!!To try to sum up Chronic Future is no easy task. The best you can try to do is label them as a strange concoction mix of Linkin Park and Hoobastank. Combining skilfully Hard Rock, with a slight trace of metal, and screaming, and then some catchy pop chourses? Odd, no?Some of my favorite songs from this album have to be New York, NY, Thank You, and Wicked Games.	positive
1	Daily ritual	My son watches this on Netflix at least once a day. At age 27 months, he knows all his letters. I have the older LeapFrog videos, talking Letter Factory, Talking Words Factory, Code Word Caper, and the 2 older math DVD's and this new video is very similar in what it teaches but the format is clearer. It also adds new things like addressing first day of school jitters, animal families, and combines an intro to both letters and numbers. It is redundant if you have the old DVD's but it is presented in a different way which is useful in understanding letter sounds and counting.	positive
0	Don't Waste Your Money	These don't work at all. I printed out the same picture 3 times. One time, there was no color, another time, there was color but it was all washed out, third time, there were streaks across the whole picture. Then tried printing out a Google Maps web page, no color and barely readable. Tried the different cleaning options, none of which helped at all.	negative
1	The PC version is so much better.	I haven't played this game much yet and so far it looks pretty tricky to get the hang of it. But I'm sure that with practice I'll get better and enjoy it more. I also have the PC version of it and it's so much better. The characters talk more and it's hillarious.	positive
1	Meticulous	About a year agoA friend of mine told me of his Photek addiction. His began with the closing credits of the movie Blade which features a Photek tune. I watched the credits just to hear it, and immediately understood. Photek's music takes elements of minimalism, jazz, and electro-acoustic composition to new realms (3 areas of music where the same works seem to be repeating for the last ten years). I can't get enough of this disc especially "UFO". The art is in the simplicity.	positive

1	Great purchase for the money	I bought this adapter to connect my desktop machine to my home's wireless network, and I'm happy to say that it's up and running smoothly without a hitch. Unlike some of the reviews, my computer didn't crash, and I didn't have to be a techie in order to get the software to install properly on my machine. The installation instructions are lacking, but if you have the slightest bit of software installation knowledge, you should be able to figure it out.The signal strength is great (95% right now), although my wireless router is just in the next room. For the price, I'd highly recommend this to anybody needing a cheap, no frills wireless USB adapter.	positive
1	Good starter kitchen	My 12 month old daughter received this as a Christmas gift last month and seems to enjoy it. She loves the shape sorter, but her favorite thing (besides the phone) is to put things in and take things out of the microwave. Over and over again. She plays with it a little every day. I agree that it tips over easily, but I put it against a wall and haven't had problems since. Overall, I would say it's a good starter kitchen and would recommend purchasing it. I would like to add, though, my friend has the Little Tikes work bench for her little boy, and my daughter loves it. It seems to do more interesting things. I think I would have chose it over the kitchen if I would have seen her play with it first. Although, she hasn't really started to pretend eat and cook yet, so it may be a good toy to grow with...	positive

Obviously one of the lowest budget movies in history.	negative
1	An Un-put-downable sad story!	The Nanny Diaries will make you rethink your dream to become one of Manhattan's elite. In this story, Nanny (appropriately named) agrees to work for the X's. She becomes little Grayer X's lifeline. In a world where outside appearances are everything, Nanny must pick up the slack for Mrs. X. In the process, Nanny almost becomes his "mother"; It is the ending, however, that will leave you with tears in your eyes.This book does an excellent job of tugging at your heartstrings. I really began to feel for the children of competitive preparatory preschools, play groups and Park Avenue Apartments. A must read for any mother who questions her parenting skills!	positive
1	great multipurpose - its on sale at the big box stores	I have the gorilla MT-17 clone from Home Depot ($80 during black Friday) and just picked this ladder up at Lowes for $150. I even made the manager confirm that was the right price! First off most of the add-ons for the Gorrilla don't work that well on the Werner, but since you really don't need the hinge kit for the werner like you do for the Gorilla, that is not a problem. Second there is not that much of an advantage to the Werner, its really only a few feet larger that the Gorilla, is much heavier, and is more expensive to outfit with extras. All in all I should have stuck with the smaller ladder and would ask most shoppers to decide if they really need the extra few feet for double the cost.Can confirm that as of this writing the cost of this ladder is $149 at both Lowes and Home Depot, a great deal!	positive

But, when you take the scientific name apart and make it the title, THE DERMIS PROBE, of a story about an elephant, it's meaning becomes veiled.

There are plenty of other puzzles that can tease your mind into greater self-understanding. The elephant is US!	positive

1	"My Good Night Bible" - Bedtime Stories	What a lovely children's Bible! My 6 year old son had several Bibles till now (always trying to find the 'right' one), but this is by far the best of them and the one he understands the most. Every child from 1 year of age to schoolgoing will be able to relate very well to the lessons contained in this gem of a book.Every lesson contains is built around one concept (e.g. "World" i.e. when God made the earth / "Name" i.e. Adam naming the animals and God having called each of us by name before we were even born...!) And everything is laid out in such simple terms that children are easily able to understand the true meaning of what the Bible says.The additional features (like the songs and activities) that have been built into this book , for interaction with your child, make this book simply a "must have" in the home.Well thought out and put together!	positive
1	Great collection!	This is a great introduction to Haydn and his music. First and foremost, I love the concertos in the set. The cello concertos are brilliantly performed, and the trumpet concerto is also really neat. The soloist's tone in the trumpet concerto is very lush sounding, as is the cellist (although that is to be expected from a cellist and trumpet player of that prestige). The symphonies on the first disc are performed very well, and are a good survey of Haydn's masterpieces. Though among the best, they are not definitive. Alfred Brendel is amazing as usual with the Variations in F. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a Haydn library, or just have a solid sampling of his works.	positive

1	Funny and thought provoking - a Tour de Force of talent.	I througly enjoyed seeing Robert De Niro tackle a comedic role, something I've rarely seen him do before. Ben Stiller is no slouch either and is the consumate funny man himself. Meet the Parents touches on both the funny side of meeting the inlaws, and the more serious issues of parents letting go of their little girl. As a male nurse, Stiller's character challenges DeNiro's friends definition of status (they're doctors) and gender roles by being proud of his professional choices. Meet The Parents left me rolling on the floor laughing and yet at the same time it made me think. Excellent indeed!	positive
1	Battery operated shaver	This is a great shaver at a very low price. I previously had a Panasonic shaver that just quit working after a few years, so I replaced it with the Braun 370. The 370 seems to shave just as well as the Panasonic, but it has a couple of well thought out additional features. First, the Braun includes a trimmer-an important feature for me. Second, the cap that protects the head is part of the shaver and cannot be removed. This means that you can't lose it and it can't fall off in transit. Finally, the rotating head cover also prevents the shaver from accidentally being turned on. All in all, a well thought out, efficient shaver at a very attractive price.	positive

Clifford Dowdey, the author, is acknowledged by many to be among the best writers who describe the WAR as seen from the Southern point of view.

Amazing turnaround time by Amazon.com and got it to us by Christmas as a gift for a little relative of ours.Each one of our kids had one of those and it was great fun. However, it was once more validated when the little 2 month old responded immediately with smile when he was put underneath the hanging toys. It was pretty telling that he enjoyed it. However, he was not very attentive to the sound part and the all the adults thought the songs were kind of lackluster at best.In any case, a good toy for the little one and the adult parents will appreciate the toy as well.	positive

If you liked the column, you'll like the book

While not the best-written or most compelling chick lit out there, Nancy Chan's diary is an entertaining and revealing look into the ups and downs in the world of the high-priced hooker. Especially in light of the Spitzer kerfuffle in New York, that world holds a lot of interest for us average, non-prostitute gals. Obviously there's quite a bit about explicit sex in this book, so it isn't for kids or the ultra-sensitive, but isn't a bodice-ripper either - no "throbbing members" here. Quan's - and Nancy's - approach to sex is matter-of-fact, ho-hum it's a job so why make a big deal? If you liked the Salon column, you'll like the book - same stuff, only more in-depth so you can finally found out what happened to Nancy outside the confines of the column. Recommended.

Ridiculously simple

This is the first SEP book I've read and it will definitely be the last. The story was ridiculous, ridiculously simple, and not at all believable, but what really irritated me was writing a story about people in a town in Mississippi whose personalities all arrested at 15. If this is any reflection on the people of Mississippi, I'll make it a point to stay far far away. This book is such a waste of time when there are so many authors who deserve real praise.

Have you got the online docs ? (err.. yes)

I don't like slating books so I am not about to start.PostgreSQL Essential Reference is not bad. If it actually contained more details, fuller explanations, more or better examples than the docs that come free with postgres then it would be well worth having. As such, IMHO it actually offers less for the most part.I am really trying to find a place for this on someone's book shelf. If you are a beginner and don't have access to the online docs then you might find something here. If not I would heartily recommend Bruce Momjian's online (or printed) work as a companion to the original potgreSQL manual

This is what reality TV should be all about!

I know so many guys, furry and not, who have this fantasy about getting a full body trim from a naked barber, or being that naked barber having fun with the clippers with a furry friend.This video is all of that and MORE! From CraigsList to chatrooms, guys are always looking for another guy to do exactly what this video does. What a lucky find for me - to find this video - and how lucky those two guys were to find each other and have fun.

awesome

I got two of these and they look great and have exceeded my expectations. Solid wood with a nice finish. They are not that wide but that's what I wanted. They could go into an expensive beach house no problem. They have a nice open look and make my room look more contemporary. It's perfect for framed pictures, vases, books, boxes, etc. I keep a basket on one shelf for keys and sunglasses. There were a few minor places that finish was too thin, but I rubbed them with some Murphies oil and they look great.

You know those people who are just smart enough to have opinions and feel the need to force them down your throat? Well here we have another one. Whether it be Mr Bourdain's constant quoting of famous figures (Yes, we get it. You are well read and smart) or the way he looks on everything with disdain, the snooty and holier than thou attitude comes through in his writing. Yes, it is funny, but it makes me resent the fact that a schmuck like him can become rich and famous.. subsequently leaving his wife for a younger more attractive woman......

FIVE STARS FOR THE TEXTURED PLOT, ONE STAR FOR DVD QUALITY

The movie itself is perhaps the most chaotic plot in the history of mystery yarns, which is why it helps a lot that there are two versions of the movie on the disc. It's a very well scripted moody noir that should be on your watch list, if only for Bacall's steamy scenes (and this was 1946!)My quibbles arise with the quality of the print. It is tragic, at times the B&W; picture totally fades out, especially on the right-hand side of the screen, turning several lighter shades of gray or brown. The 1945 version of the movie seems slightly less afflicted than the 1946 one. This has to be one of the best detective thrillers of all time and certainly deserved a lot better digital transfer than the blurry dated print it has been left as.

It makes me feel like it's the year 2525!

I didn't have the money to afford this, but I got one anyway with my nearly maxed out credit card....And I'm glad I did! It's a system too beautiful for words. Everything about it is near perfect. Maybe the only grip I have is, I don't understand why there isn't two analog sticks. I unfortunately am one of the ones who got one with "dead pixels". Two of them. But, they don't bother me at all. I'm not going to return my system because of them. I purchased THUG2 remix for my first game, and it plays great. It's sort of awkward to do anything on it at first. I've been playing playstation games for years now, so to me it kind of feels like I'm constantly looking at the controller to see what buttons to press. It's worth the money! Buy one right now.

a former democrat who loved this book

As a recovering Democrat (10 years and counting), this was a hilarious breath of fresh air that I enjoyed just as much as my nephew! With the torrent of dishonest, left-wing, scare-your-children propaganda streaming into our schools (An Inconvenient Truth being the latest), it's nice to see a light-hearted children's book that defends conservative principles, and at the same time, effectively tweaks that mini-totalitarian that lives inside every liberal. If you don't believe me, just check out the hate-filled screed offered up by the angry, "one-star," sons-of-the-sixties reviewers of this book. "You want to teach your children that independence, self-reliance and freedom from government will lead to a happy and fruitful life? How dare you!!"

Not a bad start

Techno Ejay was my first try at making my own Techno. It'spretty versatile, and easy to get started with. It has all of themajor features that all the various music sequencer software packages do, plus a HUGE library of sounds already included that you can experiment with.One gripe would be that it doesn't allow you to edit .wav files with zoom-in/out-in-time and cut-and-paste. On the other hand, this thing has so many features, it may just be in there somewhere.There is also no drum kit, and it doesn't have a filter sweep tool, so you're pretty much stuck with the pre-made samples or the simple melody generator. But, there are so many samples provided that you'll spend days playing with variations before you get to the point where you feel the need to make your own.All-in-all, this was a good investment in my opinion. Not the whole enchilada, but a great way to get exposed to the technology without spending a lot.

Garbage from beginning to end

This is a garbage movie. The only thing worse than the beginning and middle of the movie was the end! The movie is an insult to not only those unfortunate to watch it but also to the actors. I feel sorry that Melanie Griffith had to play such a disgusting and trite role. And all the lines in the movie are trash.

Humorous, thoughtful, thrilling, intricate, and romantic!!!

Definately not the same typical, humdrum, shallow plot. I thought Elizabeth Bennet to be the perfect...heroine?!? She was playful, quick witted, funny, and certainly not without her faults! I don't want to give any hints to future readers, so I'll just say that Mr._______ was...well, I can't find the words to fully describe, so it will be up to you as the readers to find out yourself! The book was realistic and I thought the eighteenth century English language to be fully enchanting. I think my most favorite parts were when Elizabeth refuses to marry Mr.Collins, her cousin (YUCK!), and her discussion with Lady Catherine deBourgh! I was literally sitting at the edge of my chair while reading certain parts, and I must admit, falling asleep at others (though these parts were short and well worth it)! The ending was absolutely wonderful, to say the least. READ IT!!!

NUDE TIME TRAVEL NEVER FELT SO GOOD

You know a book is going to be good when your sexy lead character is naked right from page one. With that said, SEXY NINJA GIRL is one heck of a ride!Last time we saw Ai, she'd been dumped into limbo, but now she's in ancient Japan and is a sexy ninja leader. Plenty of outrageous fight scenes follow, most of which involve Ai's clothing being ripped to shreds and falling off of her.Even the climax is fun, as Ai creates her own undoing when faced with a ghost of the historic past. TIME TRAVELER AI is simply much-o fun, and very recommended to fans of HEAVY METAL comics, or MILO MANERA.

Good Collection, But Unimpressive Presentation

In my opinion, this book is just a collection of the four documents that have or do define the pillars that support the foundation of America. The author tries to convey his goal in interpreting these four documents but he does a poor job at making the goal clear. The consequence is that the reader is left to ponder exactly what points are being made throughout. And in the end, the conclusion is effectively meaningless since there was no possibility for the reader to achieve a focus on the gist of what Cox intended. I would not recommend this book unless all you want are these four founding documents under one cover.

Violence, violence and just more violence!!!!

Probably the worst movie I have seen! Just a series of cliche special effects and comic book writing. The characters have no development. At least in the original Conan, you can seen his development and how he became the character. The music in the original Conan might have been corny but at least memorable. The fight scenes seem a bit too staged and the same flipping in the air ballet fight sequences are like others you have seen in several others movies. In my opinion, waste of two hours. For me to take the time to write this review just states how bad this movie really is. Don't waste your time. Stinko!!!

All my girls ages 2, 7, and 10, love this disc. They also like music by "real" recording artists but this is really fun for them to sing along to and if they like it then I think it fufills it's purpose (which is to entertain kids, not adults).

I've been buying Conair blow dryers almost since they were invented (I'm 63) and this is the first one I've had a problem with.

A Very Good Read

"The Battle of An Loc" by James Wilbanks. A must have book for anyone with an interest in Viet-Nam. This is a very good read. The author, James Wilbanks, was present and wounded at An Loc. This is not only his account, but gives insights from the North Vietnamese and US Advisors after action reports plus other communist documents. The role of the unending US air support, the bravery of the US air crews, and the orchestration by the Forward Air Controllers to the battle's victory for the ARVN and US Advisors is covered in warranted great detail. The inability of the NVA to have armor and infantry work together in more conventional warfare is clearly brought to light and documented. Wilbanks gives insights into Richard Nixon's Vietnamization's perceived success by the politicians and its ultimate failures. This is a must have read and must have addition to the library for anyone with interest in the war in Viet-Nam.

Horrible Movie, Very Unappropiate

I was very offended when I first saw this movie. First, Ralphie wanted a gun! Kids should not be exposed to the fact that there is such thing as a gun in this world, they'll shoot their precious little eye out when they hear that guns exist. Second, kids will never in their life hear F---, unless they see this movie. Third of all, kids think of Santa Claus as very nice, not as the really mean person in this movie. Also, they should not know that sometimes you have to wait in long lines! Also, they implied that the cute little bunny outfit is ugly and should not be worn by 10-year old boys. I want one of those for my thirteen year old boy! No, seriously I LOVED IT! Any of you who were complaining about the movie have no sense of humor and are not geared for the 21st century. You can see it from 8pm to 8pm EST Christmas Eve/Day on TNT.Buy it on video too, but I heard the DVD version was bad, stick with VHS. FIVE STARS!

Terrible Terrible Novel

If you think that WWF is good drama with interesting characters than this book is for you. There is barely a semblance of a plot, the characters are not developed beyond any stereotype of good vs. bad, and the book seems to exist in order to describe very very non-creative ways to kill people. With a tag line of "There are only two good guys and one of them is {gasp} a lawyer." this author is obviously pandering to the lowest most uneducated group of American culture.

Interesting fad item, shoddily made

Lomo got a lot of ink in late 2000, early 2001, so I bought one for about a hundred pounds in the little Lomo gallery in Clerkenwell, London. The camera was easy to use and a natural for me. I like available-light photography and took some nice shots in elevators and the London Underground, in the World Trade Center concourse in New York, and street scenes everywhere.I had it with me in Hoboken on Sept. 11, 2001, and shot a roll or two of the smoke-plumed downtown Manhattan. ALAS! Only one frame came out. I tried another few rolls--no dice. Apparently the shutter is stuck. I am stuck myself...on whether to throw the thing out or fashion it into some clever objet d'art. What do you do with a dead Lomo, anyway?We all have to kiss frogs sometimes, and this is one of mine. A nice Rollei or Olympus for the same money would have been a better buy, and I think that will be my next point-and-shoot purchase.

"The Wagon" and "Puke + Cry" are both rockin' songs and a good start to the album, and I also really like "Flying Cloud". However it's the last half of the disc that really shines for me. "Water" is a catchy mid-tempo track, "Muck" is one of their best rock-outs ever, and "Thumb" is magical and mellow. Fans of either "Bug" or "Where You Been" should totally dig "Green Mind". If nothing else, the girl on the cover is smokin'.

A beautiful story

This truly is a beautiful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What an interesting insight into 1960's America and civil rights. The characters are interesting and I love the sense of family and togetherness Lily finds in a very unlikely place. A definite must read.

Creative Wedding Organizer & Planner is Amazing!

Theresa Chan's wedding organizer and planner is a must for any bride. I loved the fact that it is a binder and I was able to add my own pictures to the book. The book includes all the essential sections for a wedding and I particularly appreciated that she outlined many things a bride should consider that I never thought of.I have been married for a few months now and have a wonderful keepsake binder of my wedding which I can pass on to my future children and grandchildren. The quality of the binder and its contents are outstanding.

I love The Prodigy, but with the release of this alblum, its apparent that they have become far too Americanized. Experience and Music for the Jilted generation were far better than this, which seems to target fans of more hate-oriented music such as Nine Inch Nails. CAN'T WE ALL JUST LIVE TOGETHER??!??!??!??

Incredible DVD, but the music makes it

I first saw Haunted Castle as a feature at the IMAX in New Orleans, LA. The imagery alone was enough to astound, but the music that follows the story added a dimension that no pop-up graphics could. The band which supplies the music, Arid, also performs a live set at the end. The lead singer Jasper stars as the film's lead character in a sticky situation. You will love this DVD, even if only for the music. And guaranteed you'll be left wondering who that enchanted voice (and face) belongs to long after the credits roll.

great idea but

needs improvement. The pin/bolt is too short, and it does not reach long enough to pass the rail over which the door slides to lock on the floor. What I did was basically drill a 3/4" hole in the floor and place a stainless steel piece of pipe protruding about one inch over the floor, inside the rail, so that the bolt lock there, problem solved, works great but2 stars for all the trouble involved in installing.

Big Disappointment

This book was a real disappointment. The characters are one-dimensional, the "mystery" obvious, and the relationships unbelieveable. Our detective and his lover wax hot and cold on each other for no discernible reason, many characters (notably the family with the Down's Syndrome child) appear to have no relationship to the plot, and the immediate adversary relationship between the hero and his employers makes no sense. I was expecting something that would do for Alaska what Tony Hillerman has done for the Southwest, but our 50th state really got a bum rap!

Excellent album from a great band... But the "ENHANCED" reissue really sucks!!!

Back in the late 70s, Pop-Rock bands like JOURNEY (i.e. STYX, KANSAS, REO Speedwagon) ruled the American Rock music layout. Powerful tunes with wonderful vocal Queen-esque works, awesome guitar riffs, keyboards and drums, as well as very good, mellow ballads were the standards in those days."Infinity" was one of the best musical products of that era. However, why to spoil so much an excellent album, reissuing it on an "ENHANCED" version...???? Hey... Try to play this CD on some older CD players (portable/car/home) and you'll have some problems... My suggestion: Try to get any good European (Germany-Holland-France), older 1990s reissue of this great Journey album, you will get equal outstanding sound quality, without the reproduction problems!!

Expected better

Unlike the other reviewers, I did not appreciate this book. Not being one to leave a book unfinished, I persisted despite my deepening dislike. The plot is fast-paced only because the text skips from high point to high point because so few events of any importance happen. The main characters are shallowly delineated, and the peripheral ones even more so. The author attempts to humanize and empathize with the mass-murdering, psychotic antagonist (no spoilers, he's described as such on the jacket) but really tries too hard with too little effect. The protagonists scarcely seem like real people. While the book is sumptuously researched (how accurately, I don't know), the details tend to fall flat. Save your time and read something more recent and more interesting.

Best lawn sprinkler yet-

We just totally stripped and replanted out entire yard. We used this sprinkler exclusively and it was outstanding. Easy to move, doesn't tip over like most units and has a wide broadcast. Would have rated it 5 stars but the directional settings were difficult to set just right and it sometimes gets stuck in one position. Otherwise I highly recommend it!

these globes were rejects

I've bought globes before, but from a different vendor, and I loved them! However, these appear to be seconds or rejects because the stems were super narrow. That makes it extremely time consuming and nearly impossible to fill the globes. Kind of defeats the whole idea of having a time saving watering system!

In the immortal words of Frank Costanza, "Rolling Stone, What the hell were you thinking?!" No Joni Mitchell? Half the artists on this list reference her and Patsy Cline as influences to their music. Easily six or so artists could've been bumped onto a fourth CD to make room for some of the other women listed by other reviewers. By the way, BS (Britney Spears), should not be on the list!

Doesn't work with Leopard

After I upgraded my Mac Pro to OS 1.5, I also upgraded Parallels Desktop to Version 3.0. It is a complete disaster. Unlike before the upgrades, Parallels Desktop now runs Windows very slow and jerky. Many programs won't start, including programs as basic and essential as Microsoft Office. Some other programs work in a sort of hobbled mode, with some features responding and others not. One improvement is that the program allows you to use USB devices as soon as you plug them in, without reconfiguring anything. However, sound input from USB devices suffers static and interruptions. After the upgrade, Parallels Desktop even refused to allow access to the contents of a CD. Basically, it's as bad as having Virtual PC back!No, it's even weirder. If I try to insert a CD with Parallels Desktop running, the CD tray opens and immediately shuts. I have to insert disks before I've launched Parallels and then quit Parallels in order to remove them.

Overly simplistic world

I plodded through to the end of this book, hoping that Mr. Head's writing style and depiction of the world would break out of the simplistic. I was disappointed. The world and the motivations of the humans that live in it, both in positions of power and among the common folk, are much, much more complex than in this book. The only redeeming quality of the book is as the basis to some hypothetical wargame scenarios (say for Harpoon 4). Otherwise, you won't lose anything by not reading it. You're better off buying a good history book for the money.

Not what I expect from Justin

I have worn Justin Brand boots for 20+ years and I really thought these were fake when I first put them on. These are stiff, rubber soled, with a very thin insole. My 10 year old Justin boots were comfortable the first time I put them on so I bought 2 pair. My previous Justin boots were the best most comfortable shoes I ever wore so I am very surprised by these.I pay about this much to have a new sole put on my old Justin boots so it seemed like a bargain until I tried them on. My cobbler says he can't replace the soles because they are rubber. He can only replace leather soles. I deleted every clothing item I was considering to buy from my Amazon wish list. I was just so disappointed.

They Rock... You've never heard of them...

I was reccomended to Chronic Future by a friend so I checked them out, I downloaded a couple tracks(Legally) to give a listen too, and I was pleased to say the least!!To try to sum up Chronic Future is no easy task. The best you can try to do is label them as a strange concoction mix of Linkin Park and Hoobastank. Combining skilfully Hard Rock, with a slight trace of metal, and screaming, and then some catchy pop chourses? Odd, no?Some of my favorite songs from this album have to be New York, NY, Thank You, and Wicked Games.

Daily ritual

My son watches this on Netflix at least once a day. At age 27 months, he knows all his letters. I have the older LeapFrog videos, talking Letter Factory, Talking Words Factory, Code Word Caper, and the 2 older math DVD's and this new video is very similar in what it teaches but the format is clearer. It also adds new things like addressing first day of school jitters, animal families, and combines an intro to both letters and numbers. It is redundant if you have the old DVD's but it is presented in a different way which is useful in understanding letter sounds and counting.

Meticulous

About a year agoA friend of mine told me of his Photek addiction. His began with the closing credits of the movie Blade which features a Photek tune. I watched the credits just to hear it, and immediately understood. Photek's music takes elements of minimalism, jazz, and electro-acoustic composition to new realms (3 areas of music where the same works seem to be repeating for the last ten years). I can't get enough of this disc especially "UFO". The art is in the simplicity.

Great purchase for the money

I bought this adapter to connect my desktop machine to my home's wireless network, and I'm happy to say that it's up and running smoothly without a hitch. Unlike some of the reviews, my computer didn't crash, and I didn't have to be a techie in order to get the software to install properly on my machine. The installation instructions are lacking, but if you have the slightest bit of software installation knowledge, you should be able to figure it out.The signal strength is great (95% right now), although my wireless router is just in the next room. For the price, I'd highly recommend this to anybody needing a cheap, no frills wireless USB adapter.

Good starter kitchen

My 12 month old daughter received this as a Christmas gift last month and seems to enjoy it. She loves the shape sorter, but her favorite thing (besides the phone) is to put things in and take things out of the microwave. Over and over again. She plays with it a little every day. I agree that it tips over easily, but I put it against a wall and haven't had problems since. Overall, I would say it's a good starter kitchen and would recommend purchasing it. I would like to add, though, my friend has the Little Tikes work bench for her little boy, and my daughter loves it. It seems to do more interesting things. I think I would have chose it over the kitchen if I would have seen her play with it first. Although, she hasn't really started to pretend eat and cook yet, so it may be a good toy to grow with...

I have seen all Corey haim movies, and this one by far is the worst thing he ever could have done.

An Un-put-downable sad story!

The Nanny Diaries will make you rethink your dream to become one of Manhattan's elite. In this story, Nanny (appropriately named) agrees to work for the X's. She becomes little Grayer X's lifeline. In a world where outside appearances are everything, Nanny must pick up the slack for Mrs. X. In the process, Nanny almost becomes his "mother"; It is the ending, however, that will leave you with tears in your eyes.This book does an excellent job of tugging at your heartstrings. I really began to feel for the children of competitive preparatory preschools, play groups and Park Avenue Apartments. A must read for any mother who questions her parenting skills!

great multipurpose - its on sale at the big box stores

I have the gorilla MT-17 clone from Home Depot ($80 during black Friday) and just picked this ladder up at Lowes for $150. I even made the manager confirm that was the right price! First off most of the add-ons for the Gorrilla don't work that well on the Werner, but since you really don't need the hinge kit for the werner like you do for the Gorilla, that is not a problem. Second there is not that much of an advantage to the Werner, its really only a few feet larger that the Gorilla, is much heavier, and is more expensive to outfit with extras. All in all I should have stuck with the smaller ladder and would ask most shoppers to decide if they really need the extra few feet for double the cost.Can confirm that as of this writing the cost of this ladder is $149 at both Lowes and Home Depot, a great deal!

The pre fabricated stances they take during a song are beyond comical, are they modeling cheap suits for JC Penneys? Thirdly, some of the songs they cover are so covered in sappy commercial non art its hard to listen to it.

"My Good Night Bible" - Bedtime Stories

What a lovely children's Bible! My 6 year old son had several Bibles till now (always trying to find the 'right' one), but this is by far the best of them and the one he understands the most. Every child from 1 year of age to schoolgoing will be able to relate very well to the lessons contained in this gem of a book.Every lesson contains is built around one concept (e.g. "World" i.e. when God made the earth / "Name" i.e. Adam naming the animals and God having called each of us by name before we were even born...!) And everything is laid out in such simple terms that children are easily able to understand the true meaning of what the Bible says.The additional features (like the songs and activities) that have been built into this book , for interaction with your child, make this book simply a "must have" in the home.Well thought out and put together!

Great collection!

This is a great introduction to Haydn and his music. First and foremost, I love the concertos in the set. The cello concertos are brilliantly performed, and the trumpet concerto is also really neat. The soloist's tone in the trumpet concerto is very lush sounding, as is the cellist (although that is to be expected from a cellist and trumpet player of that prestige). The symphonies on the first disc are performed very well, and are a good survey of Haydn's masterpieces. Though among the best, they are not definitive. Alfred Brendel is amazing as usual with the Variations in F. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a Haydn library, or just have a solid sampling of his works.

Funny and thought provoking - a Tour de Force of talent.

I througly enjoyed seeing Robert De Niro tackle a comedic role, something I've rarely seen him do before. Ben Stiller is no slouch either and is the consumate funny man himself. Meet the Parents touches on both the funny side of meeting the inlaws, and the more serious issues of parents letting go of their little girl. As a male nurse, Stiller's character challenges DeNiro's friends definition of status (they're doctors) and gender roles by being proud of his professional choices. Meet The Parents left me rolling on the floor laughing and yet at the same time it made me think. Excellent indeed!

Battery operated shaver

This is a great shaver at a very low price. I previously had a Panasonic shaver that just quit working after a few years, so I replaced it with the Braun 370. The 370 seems to shave just as well as the Panasonic, but it has a couple of well thought out additional features. First, the Braun includes a trimmer-an important feature for me. Second, the cap that protects the head is part of the shaver and cannot be removed. This means that you can't lose it and it can't fall off in transit. Finally, the rotating head cover also prevents the shaver from accidentally being turned on. All in all, a well thought out, efficient shaver at a very attractive price.
