1	One of the greats!	Sometimes a set of music is a no brainer. Duke Ellington's piano backing Up Louis Armstrong through 17 of Duke's greatest hits should be all one would need to say. The music here is simply timeless. Backed by Danny Barcelona on drums, Matt Herbert on bass, Trummy Young on trombone, and the overlooked Barney Bigard on clarinet Pops and the Duke swing hard from top to bottom. It is hard to hear "In A Mellow Tone", "Dukes Place", or "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" without cracking a smile and tapping your foot. This is a classic recording that should appeal to fans of music outside of jazz and goes without saying that it should be in all jazz collections!	positive
0	EOS 20D Photography (Book & CD)	If you already have the 20D user guide from Canon, and if you have any experience with photography or if you have read any other basic photography book, then this book is a total waste of your time and money.	negative
1	Life is real and beyond real	The end of Bookshop was difficult for me as well as other readers. It made me sad that people's directives don't last beyond the grave. The economy of style that Fitzgerald uses is wonderful and picturesque. I liked her Blue Flower better and Offshore the best.	positive
0	Not the tea pot that is shown here!!	First of all, I was hesitant to order this teapot because there was one review that said there were no dragonflies on it. I thought maybe that was just a mistake on the sellers part, and the customer was sent the wrong teapot. BUT, the same thing happened to me. I received a teapot that does not have a dragonfly OR an insect on it. What a disappointment. This was going to be a gift for someone who LOVES dragonflies and insects. I will keep the pot and use it but I am not happy. SECOND, this teapot came totally fallen out of the box it was in. It was sent with another set it a larger box, and it was not even sitting in its own box. It was on the bottom of the carton. Surprised it was not broken. I just received this today, and went to write this review, and also see it came down in price by ten dollars. Too bad I did not get it for less, especially since it was not what I ordered!	negative
0	Broken	The clock on this product does not work. The light does not shut itself off. These are both things the description said it should do. The only thing it does is stay semi-fogless. This is a rip off, do not buy.	negative
1	Savvy Investments for Women by Jupiter	This is an excellent investment guide for beginning investors.It teaches how to develop investment intuition and savvy.There is a practical component in the advice which tellsthe buyer/investor to beware (Caveat Emptor). The author citesimportant investment vehicles; such as, the "Investor's BusinessDaily" which points toward important trends in the market.The book stresses the need to look at multiple criteria forinvesting to include:o growth stocks and industrieso capitalizationo revenue growth rateso price/earnings ratioso the management teamo treatment of employeeso underwriter representationo financial analyst track recordsThe work discusses all-important mutual fund fee structures,the benefits and pitfalls of derivatives and a whole host ofinvestments too numerous to list here.Numerous risks are cited including systematic market risk,inflation, interest rate fluctuations and consumer credit.The book is well worth the price for a beginning investor.	positive
0	Ok story line, but not Biblical Truth	The only reason why I rate this film two stars is that Louis Gossett Jr. was in it and he was excellent as playing the President of the United States. Otherwise, it was an ok story line, but as I always say, they need to stick to the book of Revelation and follow it accordingly if they are to get the message across if they want to reach people. There is so much missing at this stage of the 3rd segment of this series. There should have been alot more happending according to the 7 year tribulation. I guess we will have to see what will happen in the fourth movie if they make one.	negative
1	Retro Swing	I liked a number of the listings especially #18, but a few were pedestrian. Worth buying for the good ones.	positive
1	Wouldn't build a deck without one!	This tool is exactly what the deck builder needs, especially if you are building a deck by yourself. This tool works for every kind of decking (composite or wood). You can also purchase other attachments to use it with other applications. Great tool, gave my first one to one of my subs they liked it so much so I had to buy another one.	positive
1	Perhaps too soon!	Perhaps it is too soon to write a biography of Ronald Reagan. Maybe another thirty years must pass before it can be done, but Edmund Morris gives it a good go.Though any book approximating biography that includes fictitious characters can be rejected before even cracking the cover, to do so with Edmund Morris' "Dutch" would be to deny oneself a book that slowly evolves into a delightful and thoughtful read. For a man who achieved so much and in so many ways embodies twentieth century America, Ronald Reagan is impossible to understand not because of some profound complexity but rather a distant and bland simplicity. Morris' fictitious creations serve as props upon which the reader can choose to stand to get merely a better view of Ronald Reagan, not a better understanding, or simply ignore when they get in the way. Upon finishing this book, one is left with a touching yet hollow feeling about Ronald Reagan, a feeling Mr. Morris clearly was trying to communicate.	positive
1	Where's Jesse?	Although the series is for readers aged 9 to 12, it's an interesting enough concept to keep older readers entertained.The second book in Metz's series explores how Rae's gift can be used to her advantage (to aid others) and some methods in which she can control when to use her gift. Rae puts her gift to the test when she must use it to find Jesse (a boy from group therapy who "ran away"). Jesse's disappearance coincides with Rae being stalked. In this book, the reader gets to know Anthony, Rae, Yana, and Marcus a little better. For those of you who read the first book, a romantic relationship between Rae and Anthony doesn't develop until later in the series, much to my dismay ^_~ After finishing this book, be prepared to read the next and the next! It's addicting!If you haven't read the first book, I would definetly suggest doing so if you want to understand this book a little better.Happy Reading!	positive
1	Great CD!	This is one of those CD's I can leave in the CD player for a while and never get tired of it. These guys accomplish the task of maintaining a great sound while having variety in their music. This CD is definitely worth every penny.	positive
0	I cannot get rid of the chemical smell!!!	I have used the kettle everyday for a month. I have cleaned it with soap and water repeatedly. The chemical smell and taste are still present.To think I bought this because I thought glass would be "chemically" safer than the plastic kettle I was using. Big mistake. I'm going back to my old kettle.	negative
1	Great ice packs!!!	I was looking for ice packs forever for my daughter's lunch bag... These are great because they wrap around her water bottle or yogurt. They are also great for booboos!!! Great quality!!	positive
0	soft claws	This seller was great! Quick delivery but the product sucks. My dog cried within minutes of walking around and I only did one paw to see what he would do. he started to try and bite them off and would stand up. I couldn't torture him so I took it off. Wouldn't waste my money on it if your dog is not accustomed to new things.	negative
0	A good read at the beach if nothing else	The text which starts out good enough and keeps your attention throughout, disappoints at the end with a predictable close that leaves you colder then a visit to the Russian North. The plausible and interesting twists unwind right before your eyes, leaving you wondering if your time would have been better spent counting the grains of sand under your beach chair. If you haven't read "Gorky Park" or any of its sequels, they are better examples of this genre and worth the time on the beach.	negative
0	Whistle Blows	Product blows. Worked with two whistles then nothing. Garbage product. The person I bought it from reimbursed me in full. Great customer service for sure.	negative
0	Poorly written and hard to follow	This book differs discussions of the topics so often that I am never really sure if they were ever covered at all, but lets not talk about that now will cover that shortly.......	negative
0	Horrible, don't buy, don't rent.	If your looking for an historical "Docu Drama" DON'T bother with this movie, it was a horrible disappointment. Much of the movie was spent on scenes of "MT" in the last years of her life stumbling around her flat having visions of or being haunted by (who knows which) her long dead husband. The few interesting and historical moments that actually focus on the important parts of her life as a political person occur as flashbacks. All I could say was why did they bother? I can't believe Streep did this movie, it could have been so much more interesting. SKIP IT. On the bright side, there is STILL an opportunity for someone to make a good movie about the Iron Lady... this just isn't it. :)	negative
0	More Juice Detox type of book than raw food recipe book	There are about 2 recipes I've used repeatedly after having this book for years now, but that's it. Much of the book is preaching on how we need to detox and juice. This book is more on an extreme level. For day to day raw food I'd search elsewhere.	negative
1	It really makes you wonder	Preschool teacher Nancy Stern could be the "spokesperson" for every thirtysomething woman looking for a little excitment in her life. I love her character because she has a passion for teaching and helping children who in some cases are nothing but "trophies" in their parent's lives. Then "WHAM". She gets forced into another woman's life who just happens to have the same name she does. Having a "what the hell" attitude she accepts a phone call, meets a wonderful man, falls in love and changes her life for the better. Man, I wonder if there is a woman out there with my name with an interesting career.	positive
0	DOES NOT ACCEPT 1080p SIGNAL!	Hi, people.I've just talked to toshiba center and they told me the TV actually does not accept the 1080p video input. They say it's "1080p" because it always shows 1920x1080 no matter what is the input signal, but it's an interpolation of it... they confirmed that the TV DOES NOT ACCEPT 1080P INPUT SIGNAL.The TV is fine, but i'm VERY DISAPPOINTED with its description. This "1080p" name is a durty sales strategy. I was looking for a true 1080p television (that can truly accept a 1080p input) and i bought this one and now i would spend at least 400 bucks returning the TV and buying a new one... result: i'll keep this TV, but unsatisfied... i've been made a fool.If you're gonna buy this product, be aware of this issue.	negative
0	HABA building blocks	We have a lot of toys made in Europe, primarily because of concerns regarding toy safety as well fair practices. We were hoping to buy this set among others for our kids. But, knowing that these are made in china, we have no intentions of buying these or any other Haba products. Some of us would rather buy better quality toys we can trust and pay a little extra. So far, china made stuff has not been known to care about who uses it or who creates it.	negative
1	Once Again, A Standard of Excellence...	This collection, just as each and every other album of Ray Price, stands to serve as reminder of what the benchmark of "REAL DANCEHALL MUSIC" is all about. It's incredible shuffle beats and hauntingly sad lyrics will provide memories that will last throughout time immemorial.	positive
1	Absolutely the best CD I've bought in years!	Buy it. You wont be able to stop listening to it. I've bought several copies and my friends keep taking them from me. Great rhythm, incredible lyrics, I love every song.	positive
0	not as described	We purchased this radio only because of the headphone jack. The box lists one but it does not have one. Was shipped with a label on the box--damage making it impossible to gift wrap. Seller must not have checked out the product before selling it.	negative
0	I just don't get it!	I ordered this book mainly because Oprah recommended it. I not only got my brother a copy but I also got one for me as well. One thing that this book has done is to bring laughter to both of us. It is just crazy. I'm not certain how any normal human being could even bring to think this way. I think if I were thirty years younger and smoked a joint, I would understand it better, but since that isn't going to happen....I'll try to find someone to give it to.	negative
0	Mower works one season only	I had the exact same experience as the previous reviewer. My Bully mower worked fine at first, but the cutting time kept getting shorter and shorter. Finally, it just stopped working, even though the battery was fully charged. Customer Service is TERRIBLE... you're on your own with a bogus mower. Stay away from this brand.	negative
0	Unimpressed	Been using this one to two times a week for over a month now and it hasn't done a thing. It barely stings when I put it on. It has a slight grainy texture so you get a little exfoliating action when you wash it off so that's good. It doesn't smell terrible at all. But it was definitely not worth that $30-some-odd I spent on it. No peeling afterwards... a whole lot of nothing, and my skin still looks the same: constant breakouts.	negative
1	For when love makes you sick to your stomache	when you are on the verge of either crying or screaming, but you are not sure which one, and you cannot express with words how upset you are...this album will be the sweetest thing you have ever heard, and you will almost want to keep your broken heart simply because the beauty of this album turns the suffering into beautythe passion alone makes this album worth buyingbut to top it off, they express their passion perfectly with a new, breathtaking album that has stong infulences in hardcore punk and a unique guitar style that is a pleasure to listen tothis album thrives with its ability to elicit strong sentimental value, and almost impossible feat that every musician wished they could accomplishit is similar to being really thirsty and drinking a nice cold glass of waterit is also very energetic and your sorrows seem to drownd out in the sea of musical intensity Fear Before the March of Flames have created in this albumit is awesome	positive
0	A bit of a roller coaster...	I agree with some of the negative reviews which focus on how annoying the writer is... Maybe he just falls into too many of my own personal pet peeve categories, including- neurotic.- germaphobe.- name-dropper (even about his own family, his own schooling, his own teachers...)- mama's boy.- self-styled humorist.The format is original and fun, and I did enjoy getting the Cliff's Notes version of many of the EB's entries. But half of them had lame little punchlines tacked onto them - boo to that.	negative
0	Disappointed	I agree with the other review about this being the only N.R. I dislike. The story is ok, the guy is pretty good, but the main character Clare is the most annoying stupid women ever!	negative
1	Excellent Xover	When the second of my Crown VFX-2 crossovers died a year ago, I went looking for a more modern replacement. The only choice on the market, within reasonable price limitations, was the Pyle.It's given me a year of flawless service, with excellent fidelity and flexible controls (not only variable turnover frequencies, like the Crown, but also very helpful variable level controls which the Crown did not have).I can highly recommend the PYX3X for any biamped or triamped system.	positive
1	tripp-lite 550	Excellent UPS backup for HDTV and peripherals. With all the expensive electronic devices these days there is no logical reason not to spend an extra $50 to make sure that they are protected against surges, brownouts, and blackouts. Much more expensive to replace the HDTV.	positive
1	Powerful!!	This book will offend certain groups of people. However, it is very powerful and speaks the truth which the white majority are afraid to speak for themselves. Jesse Lee Peterson has lots of guts to stand up to being threatened & bullied by those who he opposes.	positive
1	Great Product and Great Company	My son loves elmo so I had to get him an elmo costume for Halloween. The company sent it out the day after I ordered it so I got it very quickly! We love the costume and will definitely order costumes from the same company again!	positive
0	My Dearest Holmes	The stories in this book are just rewritten from other stories. I would not recommend this book to anybody. I can not believe that somebody would write about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson being gay. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read.	negative
0	You think that this is a movie Yeah Right!!	DONT BUY IT!!!It is So Stupid that i rather watch Barney then this CRAP!! And Raven is stupid herself because she Cant Sing!!! The only thing that she can sing is, "IM soooo Stupid" and thats Right!!I wish the dog that fell in the sewer Died!!! "Toto NOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAThanks for reading!! And Have A Nice Day!!	negative
1	Cute!	My children bought this for me as a Mother's Day present. It's not quite what I expected as the pieces shift when you touch it...I had expected something more solid. I have received tons of compliments when I wear it. The chain is sturdy and a great compliment to the crystal. Recommend.	positive
0	Broken for the start	When I opened the trimmer, one of the attachments broke when I attempted to remove the cover...If I can't return it to Amazon, I will throw it into my garbage.	negative
1	a keeper	I purchased it for my mother, but i am enjying it also. I grew up with hearing Bing, Nat and Dino and Perry. He is our last original. His voice is just like when I first heard I left my heart in San Francisco. All the other singers that sing with him are wonderful.	positive
1	this book rocks	this book is depressing..depressing because you have to wonder how long it takes to come up with every ingenious line that this book contains. I think I'm kinda smart but gimme a break! This guy is unbelievable! Every sentence leaves you in awe...how can it get any better...then it does! Read this book, soon.	positive
1	Better than most books on this subject	As an MBA candidate, I found this to be one of the better books on this subject. Teaching students how to prepare for case interviews via books is not easy; but this one does a pretty good job. It is also appropriately humorous and colloquial in places and so does not bore one to death. I prefer this one to its competition (Vault Guide, Wet Feet).	positive
0	better with a rebate	This product works ok most of the time. I would be happier if DLink would send my rebate but after speaking with them several times and sending most of the box, they still refused to send my rebate. I'd sell it if I could get a $1 for it and go with LinkSys.	negative
1	One of my favorites.	Peter Sellers simple (almost autistic) character gives insight via his simple observations. Reminds me of the biblical quote, something about "wisdom from the mouths of babes".	positive
1	EXCELLENT!!!!!! 5 stars plus!!!!	Excellent voice, excellent lyrics, excellent music... This cd has is all. Every track on this cd shows Clay Aiken's pure and natural talent. This cd has not been out of my cd player since its release date, Oct 14, I listen to it everyday. Finally with all the gimmacks that other pop artists try to pass off as talent, there is a young man that has talent, a gift to us all, a truly beautiful voice. Clay fills the void of what is missing in today's music, A REAL SINGER, and he does it so well.Its a shame that I could only give it 5 stars because its so much better than that. Clay is a keeper with the talent to be around for a long time.	positive
0	BRILLIANT CONCEPT!	LETS HAVE A GUY IN HIS EARLY 20'S GET ALL DRESSED UP AND SING LOVE/SEX SONGS THAT DONT SHOW OFF ANY VOCAL TALENT, THROW SOME UNINSPIRED BEATS AND SYNTHESIZERS OVER TOP OF IT, AND WA-LA! A MASTERPEICE!	negative
0	Can I go lower than one star?	Unfortunately I was stuck in a hotel room with this being the only movie in English to watch. This movie is extremely insulting to anyone's intelligence. It is not even worth seeing when there is nothing else to do! I actually gave this movie a chance and it really let me down. Wayans and Kudrow are extremely disappointing in this movie that is only a fraction of what it could have been. Maci X, what is that? A movie? Think again folks.	negative
1	I recommend this to every pregnant woman!	After a 3 and a half day labour with my first (posterior) baby I wanted to learn all I could about posterior births. I have just given birth again, and using these techniques, had him in 2 and a half hours, with five a five surge long 2nd stage! (and he was 9lbs compared to my 7lbs 3 daughter.) The book does all it says it does, once I started the lifting the surges changed each time to extremely comfortable. I recommend this to all pregnant women, especially those with sway backs, short rises, and posterior babes!	positive
0	You'd better think twice!	I work at an office that has decided to go wireless. I had always used PC's, but was willing to try the ibook. Luckily, I do not have to pay for these worthless machines. In one year, my ibook has completly died four times. The monitor doesn't turn on, and there are no signs of life to it. It does not matter how carefull you are with taking care of it. All four times, the moitor becomes fuzzy, then black, then the machine is dead. Besides the fact that the computer has a life span of two months, it freezes more than any PC I have ever used. When a colorful circle appears on your screen (as it does so often), you can forget about your presentation, or anything else you had been working on. Also, If I recieved a nickle for everytime the desktop suddenly apears and a message saying "Application Unexpectedly Quit", I would be a very rich man. Do not invest your hard earned money into this junk, buy something reliable.	negative
1	Good product - But	The software works and works well - but. Marketing is painful. You get beat to death to renew with frequent "reminders" and "warnings" starting two months or more before the subscription year runs out. The "special low renewal price" gets lower the longer you wait - up to a point. I bought a new retail copy at a better price yet, but Webroot wouldn't activate it. I now use Sunbelt Counterspy that seems to work as well without the marketing and support hassle.	positive
1	junie b jones cd collection	bought for a road trip. Great choice. Really kept the kids busy. Who doesnt love junie b jones. She is so funny	positive
0	What happened?	How can anyone listen to this and actually say this is the TKA we all know and love. Guys go back and try again!!! The only good thing about this cd is the cover. Don't wait too much longer, I don't want to to hear MARIA(the AARP version).	negative
0	Disappointing vehicle for proselytizing	Now I know why this book was free. The story of a young woman on a pioneer wagon train interested me. What I got was a story with absolutely no character development, no emotional connections and every setback an excuse to proselytize "take God/Jesus into your heart". Maybe life in the 1860's was that bleak and emotionless, but if I am going to read a book, I want a little more than scenes and characters strung together with no meaning or connection. I guess it was just a setup for the rest of the series which I will pass on, even if free.	negative
1	One of the most addictive games	I recently purchased this game, and when I got home I went direcly to my GameCube. When I started playing I learned that instead of using dollars, you use Bells. Not only do you start off with a very small house you don't even have enough Bells for it. The animal who sold you the house tells you that you can have it but you have to pay off all the debt. Once you pay off all your debt you upgrade your house and you're in debt again. You may keep upgrading your house until you can't upgrade anymore. You can also make animal friends, obtain special items, and more. It is also fun because it's like real life,(i.e.) in the Winter it snows. In Autumn the leaves change color. There are also real life, and made up Holidays. Like, Toy Day (made up Holiday) or Christmas. I also suggest getting a strategy guide. It really helps. A game of patience.	positive
0	unreliable	After purchasing this CD online, the seller informed me that he did not have the item. He offered me another CD without a refund.	negative
1	REM: 'Reveal'ing new Revelations	In the midst of another brainless summer of squeaky-clean-cut music releases, I am plum-proud to be the amitious owner of a CD actually worth its own ... price tag. And that delicious deal of a record would be REM's latest release, "Reveal". Let me just get it out now, there is not a single hint of stinch on this sizzling summer selection. Rather, every single song from "The Lifting" to "Beachball" delivers a taste of delicious lighthearteness and pleasure for any summer scout to indulge. Which isn't to say there's nothing serios on this album, either. The tingly "I'll Take the Rain" is a swift and sad summer song that packs a punch along with a strong message. "I've Been High" is also another lavish and lovely piece that inspires and soars. With "Reveal", REM have supplied a more-than-decent album to fans that will surely quench the thirst of overheated listners across the country, who are in the midst of the usual putrid and precocious pop summer compilations.	positive
0	Disappointing Ancient Egypt	The music on this CD was mostly flute and not inspired by ancient egypt at all. I would prefer my money back on this title as nothing on any track took me back to the ancient land I love.	negative
1	Charlie Brown Christmas music is Awesome!	For a nice bit of nostalgia, you must buy this CD. After I got the CD, I started to realize just how many places play Charlie Brown Christmas music during the holidays; I heard it alot at the mall. This CD is great with the classic Charlie Brown theme and so many great mellow jazz Christmas songs. If you're a jazz listener OR in the mood for some great Christmas music, BUY THIS CD.	positive
0	Bored the entire family	My kids stopped watching the movie after the first 5-10 minutes. After 30 minutes everyone else got bored. We are by no means animation snobs. The story just didnt draw anyone in and for that matter, neither did the characters. Hopefully your family likes it if you decide to rent or buy the movie.	negative
0	I was wrong...	Prior to seeing this movie I believed that any movie based on a written work; Inherit the Wind, A Clockwork Orange, My Left Foot, A Raisen in the Sun... ect. had to be good.No!Based on a work by Herman Melville, this movie was the worst piece of excrement I have ever subjected myself to!	negative
0	A mindless book	This is a mindless book - it assumes (1) all change is good, and (2) that you are better off if you adapt to it quickly. Not all change in life is like the shifting cheese in a maze described by the book; in fact, I'd say most change is NOT like that.The simplistic view it holds is rather patronizing, but worse is if you actually try to base your life on this philosophy. It's not wise to do so. Everything should be evaluated against your standards, and what is good, you follow. What is bad/evil/poor, you avoid. You don't give your mind over to "change is always good" mantra if you are a thinking person. After all, who says where the cheese moves is good? That question/discussion is never addressed.Borrow this book from somewhere to read it if you wish - don't waste your money purchasing it.	negative
0	Quit half way through.	Game only makes it half way before it says to clean the disk.I've tried cleaning it multiple times, but nothing works.	negative
1	Just what you bargain for	This product is just what the doctor ordered. It takes a little while to clean the whole screen throughly but in the end have a shiny glossy screen that looks just like new is worth it. I travel a lot with business and having my MBpro sit in the office accumulating dust is not good for the computer...so I would suggest purchasing the travel packets as well--they work great on the screen and excellent on the keyboard...and they will make it through security in your briefcase.	positive
1	A Fascinating Life	I read this book after reading Memoirs of a Geisha and found this one to be much more interesting and satisfying. But that's because I find real stories of real people more interesting than fiction. And I can see why Iwasaki is angry at Golden if indeed his premise that geisha auction off their virginity isn't true as she claims. Golden's work is a good read but for a fascinating look at a real life, read Geisha: A Life. I left off one star because I feel that Iwasaki could have given us even more detail and anecdotes. However I highly recommend this book.	positive
1	Very Good	This book contains good information including hard to find information related to the subject matter found in but not included in the book Forbidden Archeology.	positive
1	Fighting for Bread and Roses	I received this book very quickly and have already read it. It's an excellent book and a good place to buy it.	positive
0	pure crap	First of all, I'd like to say that I am a HUGE fan of the last record. Portrait of the Goddess delivers a perfect blend of metal and hardcore, but this...this is just by far one of the most dissapointing records of the year. Weak riffs, weak lyrics, horrid production, I just can't think of anything good to say about this record. It sounds like there was zero thought put into these lyrics. The straight up brutal guitar sound found on Goddess is gone, hidden behind the horribly produced drums. I was really looking forward to this record, and was just totally let down. Pick up the new Avenged Sevenfold instead of this trash.	negative
0	Claptrap	Tami Hoag has written some well-crafted mystery novels and she should stay with this genre. I read Lucky's Lady after reading Ashes to Ashes and Guilty as Sin, both of which I enjoyed. Sad to say, Lucky's Lady is the kind of book one would expect a sex-starved housewife to purchase in a super market. The plot is shallow and predictable form the start; the sex scenes seem to occurr every other page to the point of complete boredom.	negative
1	!	I'll tell you what I like so you don't waste your time reading this review if you're not into my tastes. Velvet Underground, Beck, The Hives, Pixies, Iggy Pop, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Daft Punk, etc.The Strokes are excellent and this album is a jewel. I will remember it as one of the best LPs I've heard. All the songs are excellent. Their harmonies are pure. I wonder how they came up with melodies that are so appealing to me. The singer does sound like Lou Reed some times. But you shouldn't get mad at this. You're a fool if you think that new things can still be invented from scratch.	positive
1	Pentax DL-I8	This product was as advertised,genuine "Pentax made in japan", same as the battery that came with my camera. I am very pleased with the product, vendor and delivery. I know where to look when I need another camera battery.	positive
0	5 Stars To The Ad Agency	The real psychological terror conjured by this film school offering is that there are still people out in the world that truly believe this "documentary" to be in fact, real. It was 75 minutes of three people arguing and five minutes of skin crawling fear, that if elaborated upon could have made this one of the best psychological fright films of all time. What little background information that is offered doesn't even jive with the final scene. This movie will, however, be reviewed for decades to come in business schools around the world. It has to be one of the best marketed and hyped films in the last 10 years.	negative
1	Great find	Was looking for something like Downton Abbey - which we are addicted to. This fills the bill.My daughter and I loved it.	positive
1	Best book	I don't wan't to give it all away but there is lots of romance in this book.Its soooooooo good!	positive
0	Not a great instructional video	Camera work was excellent--and Nathan can sure as heck ride. The chapter titles seemed to indicate that this would be an excellent instructional video for the intermediate level rider. However, not a lot of thought was given to the content beyond laying-out the chapters. He does not give many helpful insights for the beginner or even indtermediate rider. The way he discusses the whoops are a good example of this. He shows you how to blitz through the whoops at 35-40 mph riding a wheelie. I will probably never be at that level, and someone who is does not need this video. Great video if you want to see someone who can really ride a bike do his thing. However, not great if you are looking for a solid beginner to intermediate instructional video.	negative
0	Save Your Money!	I bought this book because of the good reviews it received. Most of the recipes are simply things I would never cook...maybe because I'm a "southern cook". Things like "Rigatoni alla Calabria", "Mussels Steamed in White Sauce", and "Asparagus in Orange Sauce" are recipes I would never try. I LOVE cookbooks, trying new recipes, but this is a cookbook I will probably NEVER use. I was very disappointed. Phyllis	negative
0	Review for "Jaguar"	I originally purchased this DVD because of the other good reviews. I was very disappointed because there was not much footage of jaguars, nor was much research presented. Rather, this was a documentary of the jaguar researcher. You hear about his troubled childhood, you meet his mentor, you meet his wife and children, you see him in the hospital being treated for cancer, and you see his entire life story, etc. etc. It's not this this information is not interesting, but I wanted to see a nature documentary, and this essentially is a biography on a scientist. I would say less than 1/3 of the DVD shows actual footage of jaguars. If you want to see a pure nature documentary, do not waste your money on this.	negative
1	One of The Best	One of my favourites. I was thoroughly dissapointed by Memnoch and Pandora and this restored my faith in Anne Rice. I have not yet had the pleasure of reading Vittorio but I hope she keeps up the trend with this style of writing.I was not offended by the relationship with Marius bacause, unlike other people, I am apparantly able to differentiate between fiction and reality. If I had any grievances with the book, their names were Sybelle and Benji. I could not find a point to their existence, but Anne usually has her reasons, even if we aren't made aware of them at first. I wholly enoyed this book. More on Bianca please Anne!	positive

1	Great Film!	Though not as original as Shaun of the Dead (the first film to include this ensemble of actors), Hot Fuzz is still a great film with Simon Pegg at the helm. The plot is not as unique as Shaun of the Dead either, but as a genre film, it is great fun. This is also the second film in Simon Pegg's trilogy, so it's a must watch!	positive
0	Blue and directionless	I like the album, but that's because I'm a softy. The production is still as spotless as it was on their debut; musically, they've fallen into the same pop/rock Venus fly trap that ensnares all but the best modern groups. "Ten Days Late" is fun ("Funny how you always cried out daddy," he says!) and there's a good line in "Camouflage" ("We walk along like a sequel/You're a cameo"), but it just isn't really good, particularly in comparison with their debut, which I thought was a knockout. Listening to "Blue," I bet they've never heard the Joni Mitchell album.	negative

1	good!	Xentrix was one of a handful of British thrash bands that existed in the heyday of thrash (late eighties/early nineties), with with a style that fit perfectly alongside the leading Bay Area bands of the time, such as Forbidden and Testament.

0	Small, underpowered, ok for 6-7 yr old	We got this for our 10yr old after doing research on it on the Razor web site. It is recommended for a 12+ year old and we based our decision on that. Bottom line is it has 'ok' power if it is your childs very first electric vehicle. Any child with electric vehicle experience will love the looks and always be looking for power. For a child over 8-9 and 50-60lbs this will disappoint. It is VERY small, 12inch tires, and no suspension. Our son is average height/weight and he overwhelms the bike.Looks great but NOT worth the $.	negative
1	HT Enterprises Tip-Up Carrying Case	I just recently purchased this producted, and I was very pleased with the shipping. The tip-up case arrived in four days, and I was able to track my shipment.

1	"Damn him and his singing...."	While not as insane a Branded To Kill (Suzuki's masterful yakuza crazy-noir), this one is just enough off-center to be considered not quite normal. The colors are bright and fantastically tantalizing (at least on blu-ray), and the mono sound is ample- love that recurring theme song (sung by the lead character) and the general goofiness which makes this film a masterful must-have for those of you who like their films to make them think (about what I have no idea). Criterion does their usual fantastic job making this one worth an upgrade over their earlier weak effort on dvd. A couple of interviews for extra features round off this necessary addition to any great film library....even if you turn the sound off, the visuals are enough to keep one's interest....this is a very well done film with masterful editing and strange colors that sometimes make it look like an early James Bond film or a Batman episode....great stuff here....	positive

One of the greats!

Sometimes a set of music is a no brainer. Duke Ellington's piano backing Up Louis Armstrong through 17 of Duke's greatest hits should be all one would need to say. The music here is simply timeless. Backed by Danny Barcelona on drums, Matt Herbert on bass, Trummy Young on trombone, and the overlooked Barney Bigard on clarinet Pops and the Duke swing hard from top to bottom. It is hard to hear "In A Mellow Tone", "Dukes Place", or "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" without cracking a smile and tapping your foot. This is a classic recording that should appeal to fans of music outside of jazz and goes without saying that it should be in all jazz collections!

Not the tea pot that is shown here!!

First of all, I was hesitant to order this teapot because there was one review that said there were no dragonflies on it. I thought maybe that was just a mistake on the sellers part, and the customer was sent the wrong teapot. BUT, the same thing happened to me. I received a teapot that does not have a dragonfly OR an insect on it. What a disappointment. This was going to be a gift for someone who LOVES dragonflies and insects. I will keep the pot and use it but I am not happy. SECOND, this teapot came totally fallen out of the box it was in. It was sent with another set it a larger box, and it was not even sitting in its own box. It was on the bottom of the carton. Surprised it was not broken. I just received this today, and went to write this review, and also see it came down in price by ten dollars. Too bad I did not get it for less, especially since it was not what I ordered!

Ok story line, but not Biblical Truth

The only reason why I rate this film two stars is that Louis Gossett Jr. was in it and he was excellent as playing the President of the United States. Otherwise, it was an ok story line, but as I always say, they need to stick to the book of Revelation and follow it accordingly if they are to get the message across if they want to reach people. There is so much missing at this stage of the 3rd segment of this series. There should have been alot more happending according to the 7 year tribulation. I guess we will have to see what will happen in the fourth movie if they make one.

Perhaps too soon!

Perhaps it is too soon to write a biography of Ronald Reagan. Maybe another thirty years must pass before it can be done, but Edmund Morris gives it a good go.Though any book approximating biography that includes fictitious characters can be rejected before even cracking the cover, to do so with Edmund Morris' "Dutch" would be to deny oneself a book that slowly evolves into a delightful and thoughtful read. For a man who achieved so much and in so many ways embodies twentieth century America, Ronald Reagan is impossible to understand not because of some profound complexity but rather a distant and bland simplicity. Morris' fictitious creations serve as props upon which the reader can choose to stand to get merely a better view of Ronald Reagan, not a better understanding, or simply ignore when they get in the way. Upon finishing this book, one is left with a touching yet hollow feeling about Ronald Reagan, a feeling Mr. Morris clearly was trying to communicate.

Where's Jesse?

Although the series is for readers aged 9 to 12, it's an interesting enough concept to keep older readers entertained.The second book in Metz's series explores how Rae's gift can be used to her advantage (to aid others) and some methods in which she can control when to use her gift. Rae puts her gift to the test when she must use it to find Jesse (a boy from group therapy who "ran away"). Jesse's disappearance coincides with Rae being stalked. In this book, the reader gets to know Anthony, Rae, Yana, and Marcus a little better. For those of you who read the first book, a romantic relationship between Rae and Anthony doesn't develop until later in the series, much to my dismay ^_~ After finishing this book, be prepared to read the next and the next! It's addicting!If you haven't read the first book, I would definetly suggest doing so if you want to understand this book a little better.Happy Reading!

A good read at the beach if nothing else

The text which starts out good enough and keeps your attention throughout, disappoints at the end with a predictable close that leaves you colder then a visit to the Russian North. The plausible and interesting twists unwind right before your eyes, leaving you wondering if your time would have been better spent counting the grains of sand under your beach chair. If you haven't read "Gorky Park" or any of its sequels, they are better examples of this genre and worth the time on the beach.

Horrible, don't buy, don't rent.

If your looking for an historical "Docu Drama" DON'T bother with this movie, it was a horrible disappointment. Much of the movie was spent on scenes of "MT" in the last years of her life stumbling around her flat having visions of or being haunted by (who knows which) her long dead husband. The few interesting and historical moments that actually focus on the important parts of her life as a political person occur as flashbacks. All I could say was why did they bother? I can't believe Streep did this movie, it could have been so much more interesting. SKIP IT. On the bright side, there is STILL an opportunity for someone to make a good movie about the Iron Lady... this just isn't it. :)

More Juice Detox type of book than raw food recipe book

It really makes you wonder

Preschool teacher Nancy Stern could be the "spokesperson" for every thirtysomething woman looking for a little excitment in her life. I love her character because she has a passion for teaching and helping children who in some cases are nothing but "trophies" in their parent's lives. Then "WHAM". She gets forced into another woman's life who just happens to have the same name she does. Having a "what the hell" attitude she accepts a phone call, meets a wonderful man, falls in love and changes her life for the better. Man, I wonder if there is a woman out there with my name with an interesting career.

DOES NOT ACCEPT 1080p SIGNAL!

Hi, people.I've just talked to toshiba center and they told me the TV actually does not accept the 1080p video input. They say it's "1080p" because it always shows 1920x1080 no matter what is the input signal, but it's an interpolation of it... they confirmed that the TV DOES NOT ACCEPT 1080P INPUT SIGNAL.The TV is fine, but i'm VERY DISAPPOINTED with its description. This "1080p" name is a durty sales strategy. I was looking for a true 1080p television (that can truly accept a 1080p input) and i bought this one and now i would spend at least 400 bucks returning the TV and buying a new one... result: i'll keep this TV, but unsatisfied... i've been made a fool.If you're gonna buy this product, be aware of this issue.

But, knowing that these are made in china, we have no intentions of buying these or any other Haba products. Some of us would rather buy better quality toys we can trust and pay a little extra. So far, china made stuff has not been known to care about who uses it or who creates it.

Unimpressed

Been using this one to two times a week for over a month now and it hasn't done a thing. It barely stings when I put it on. It has a slight grainy texture so you get a little exfoliating action when you wash it off so that's good. It doesn't smell terrible at all. But it was definitely not worth that $30-some-odd I spent on it. No peeling afterwards... a whole lot of nothing, and my skin still looks the same: constant breakouts.

A bit of a roller coaster...

I agree with some of the negative reviews which focus on how annoying the writer is... Maybe he just falls into too many of my own personal pet peeve categories, including- neurotic.- germaphobe.- name-dropper (even about his own family, his own schooling, his own teachers...)- mama's boy.- self-styled humorist.The format is original and fun, and I did enjoy getting the Cliff's Notes version of many of the EB's entries. But half of them had lame little punchlines tacked onto them - boo to that.

Excellent Xover

When the second of my Crown VFX-2 crossovers died a year ago, I went looking for a more modern replacement. The only choice on the market, within reasonable price limitations, was the Pyle.It's given me a year of flawless service, with excellent fidelity and flexible controls (not only variable turnover frequencies, like the Crown, but also very helpful variable level controls which the Crown did not have).I can highly recommend the PYX3X for any biamped or triamped system.

Better than most books on this subject

As an MBA candidate, I found this to be one of the better books on this subject. Teaching students how to prepare for case interviews via books is not easy; but this one does a pretty good job. It is also appropriately humorous and colloquial in places and so does not bore one to death. I prefer this one to its competition (Vault Guide, Wet Feet).

Excellent voice, excellent lyrics, excellent music... This cd has is all. Every track on this cd shows Clay Aiken's pure and natural talent. This cd has not been out of my cd player since its release date, Oct 14, I listen to it everyday. Finally with all the gimmacks that other pop artists try to pass off as talent, there is a young man that has talent, a gift to us all, a truly beautiful voice. Clay fills the void of what is missing in today's music, A REAL SINGER, and he does it so well.Its a shame that I could only give it 5 stars because its so much better than that. Clay is a keeper with the talent to be around for a long time.

Unfortunately I was stuck in a hotel room with this being the only movie in English to watch. This movie is extremely insulting to anyone's intelligence. It is not even worth seeing when there is nothing else to do! I actually gave this movie a chance and it really let me down. Wayans and Kudrow are extremely disappointing in this movie that is only a fraction of what it could have been. Maci X, what is that? A movie? Think again folks.

I recommend this to every pregnant woman!

After a 3 and a half day labour with my first (posterior) baby I wanted to learn all I could about posterior births. I have just given birth again, and using these techniques, had him in 2 and a half hours, with five a five surge long 2nd stage! (and he was 9lbs compared to my 7lbs 3 daughter.) The book does all it says it does, once I started the lifting the surges changed each time to extremely comfortable. I recommend this to all pregnant women, especially those with sway backs, short rises, and posterior babes!

You'd better think twice!

I work at an office that has decided to go wireless. I had always used PC's, but was willing to try the ibook. Luckily, I do not have to pay for these worthless machines. In one year, my ibook has completly died four times. The monitor doesn't turn on, and there are no signs of life to it. It does not matter how carefull you are with taking care of it. All four times, the moitor becomes fuzzy, then black, then the machine is dead. Besides the fact that the computer has a life span of two months, it freezes more than any PC I have ever used. When a colorful circle appears on your screen (as it does so often), you can forget about your presentation, or anything else you had been working on. Also, If I recieved a nickle for everytime the desktop suddenly apears and a message saying "Application Unexpectedly Quit", I would be a very rich man. Do not invest your hard earned money into this junk, buy something reliable.

Good product - But

The software works and works well - but. Marketing is painful. You get beat to death to renew with frequent "reminders" and "warnings" starting two months or more before the subscription year runs out. The "special low renewal price" gets lower the longer you wait - up to a point. I bought a new retail copy at a better price yet, but Webroot wouldn't activate it. I now use Sunbelt Counterspy that seems to work as well without the marketing and support hassle.

Disappointing vehicle for proselytizing

Now I know why this book was free. The story of a young woman on a pioneer wagon train interested me. What I got was a story with absolutely no character development, no emotional connections and every setback an excuse to proselytize "take God/Jesus into your heart". Maybe life in the 1860's was that bleak and emotionless, but if I am going to read a book, I want a little more than scenes and characters strung together with no meaning or connection. I guess it was just a setup for the rest of the series which I will pass on, even if free.

One of the most addictive games

I recently purchased this game, and when I got home I went direcly to my GameCube. When I started playing I learned that instead of using dollars, you use Bells. Not only do you start off with a very small house you don't even have enough Bells for it. The animal who sold you the house tells you that you can have it but you have to pay off all the debt. Once you pay off all your debt you upgrade your house and you're in debt again. You may keep upgrading your house until you can't upgrade anymore. You can also make animal friends, obtain special items, and more. It is also fun because it's like real life,(i.e.) in the Winter it snows. In Autumn the leaves change color. There are also real life, and made up Holidays. Like, Toy Day (made up Holiday) or Christmas. I also suggest getting a strategy guide. It really helps. A game of patience.

REM: 'Reveal'ing new Revelations

In the midst of another brainless summer of squeaky-clean-cut music releases, I am plum-proud to be the amitious owner of a CD actually worth its own ... price tag. And that delicious deal of a record would be REM's latest release, "Reveal". Let me just get it out now, there is not a single hint of stinch on this sizzling summer selection. Rather, every single song from "The Lifting" to "Beachball" delivers a taste of delicious lighthearteness and pleasure for any summer scout to indulge. Which isn't to say there's nothing serios on this album, either. The tingly "I'll Take the Rain" is a swift and sad summer song that packs a punch along with a strong message. "I've Been High" is also another lavish and lovely piece that inspires and soars. With "Reveal", REM have supplied a more-than-decent album to fans that will surely quench the thirst of overheated listners across the country, who are in the midst of the usual putrid and precocious pop summer compilations.

Charlie Brown Christmas music is Awesome!

For a nice bit of nostalgia, you must buy this CD. After I got the CD, I started to realize just how many places play Charlie Brown Christmas music during the holidays; I heard it alot at the mall. This CD is great with the classic Charlie Brown theme and so many great mellow jazz Christmas songs. If you're a jazz listener OR in the mood for some great Christmas music, BUY THIS CD.

Bored the entire family

My kids stopped watching the movie after the first 5-10 minutes. After 30 minutes everyone else got bored. We are by no means animation snobs. The story just didnt draw anyone in and for that matter, neither did the characters. Hopefully your family likes it if you decide to rent or buy the movie.

I was wrong...

Prior to seeing this movie I believed that any movie based on a written work; Inherit the Wind, A Clockwork Orange, My Left Foot, A Raisen in the Sun... ect. had to be good.No!Based on a work by Herman Melville, this movie was the worst piece of excrement I have ever subjected myself to!

A mindless book

This is a mindless book - it assumes (1) all change is good, and (2) that you are better off if you adapt to it quickly. Not all change in life is like the shifting cheese in a maze described by the book; in fact, I'd say most change is NOT like that.The simplistic view it holds is rather patronizing, but worse is if you actually try to base your life on this philosophy. It's not wise to do so. Everything should be evaluated against your standards, and what is good, you follow. What is bad/evil/poor, you avoid. You don't give your mind over to "change is always good" mantra if you are a thinking person. After all, who says where the cheese moves is good? That question/discussion is never addressed.Borrow this book from somewhere to read it if you wish - don't waste your money purchasing it.

Just what you bargain for

This product is just what the doctor ordered. It takes a little while to clean the whole screen throughly but in the end have a shiny glossy screen that looks just like new is worth it. I travel a lot with business and having my MBpro sit in the office accumulating dust is not good for the computer...so I would suggest purchasing the travel packets as well--they work great on the screen and excellent on the keyboard...and they will make it through security in your briefcase.

A Fascinating Life

I read this book after reading Memoirs of a Geisha and found this one to be much more interesting and satisfying. But that's because I find real stories of real people more interesting than fiction. And I can see why Iwasaki is angry at Golden if indeed his premise that geisha auction off their virginity isn't true as she claims. Golden's work is a good read but for a fascinating look at a real life, read Geisha: A Life. I left off one star because I feel that Iwasaki could have given us even more detail and anecdotes. However I highly recommend this book.

pure crap

First of all, I'd like to say that I am a HUGE fan of the last record. Portrait of the Goddess delivers a perfect blend of metal and hardcore, but this...this is just by far one of the most dissapointing records of the year. Weak riffs, weak lyrics, horrid production, I just can't think of anything good to say about this record. It sounds like there was zero thought put into these lyrics. The straight up brutal guitar sound found on Goddess is gone, hidden behind the horribly produced drums. I was really looking forward to this record, and was just totally let down. Pick up the new Avenged Sevenfold instead of this trash.

Claptrap

Tami Hoag has written some well-crafted mystery novels and she should stay with this genre. I read Lucky's Lady after reading Ashes to Ashes and Guilty as Sin, both of which I enjoyed. Sad to say, Lucky's Lady is the kind of book one would expect a sex-starved housewife to purchase in a super market. The plot is shallow and predictable form the start; the sex scenes seem to occurr every other page to the point of complete boredom.

I'll tell you what I like so you don't waste your time reading this review if you're not into my tastes. Velvet Underground, Beck, The Hives, Pixies, Iggy Pop, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Daft Punk, etc.The Strokes are excellent and this album is a jewel. I will remember it as one of the best LPs I've heard. All the songs are excellent. Their harmonies are pure. I wonder how they came up with melodies that are so appealing to me. The singer does sound like Lou Reed some times. But you shouldn't get mad at this. You're a fool if you think that new things can still be invented from scratch.

5 Stars To The Ad Agency

The real psychological terror conjured by this film school offering is that there are still people out in the world that truly believe this "documentary" to be in fact, real. It was 75 minutes of three people arguing and five minutes of skin crawling fear, that if elaborated upon could have made this one of the best psychological fright films of all time. What little background information that is offered doesn't even jive with the final scene. This movie will, however, be reviewed for decades to come in business schools around the world. It has to be one of the best marketed and hyped films in the last 10 years.

Not a great instructional video

Camera work was excellent--and Nathan can sure as heck ride. The chapter titles seemed to indicate that this would be an excellent instructional video for the intermediate level rider. However, not a lot of thought was given to the content beyond laying-out the chapters. He does not give many helpful insights for the beginner or even indtermediate rider. The way he discusses the whoops are a good example of this. He shows you how to blitz through the whoops at 35-40 mph riding a wheelie. I will probably never be at that level, and someone who is does not need this video. Great video if you want to see someone who can really ride a bike do his thing. However, not great if you are looking for a solid beginner to intermediate instructional video.

Save Your Money!

I bought this book because of the good reviews it received. Most of the recipes are simply things I would never cook...maybe because I'm a "southern cook". Things like "Rigatoni alla Calabria", "Mussels Steamed in White Sauce", and "Asparagus in Orange Sauce" are recipes I would never try. I LOVE cookbooks, trying new recipes, but this is a cookbook I will probably NEVER use. I was very disappointed. Phyllis

Review for "Jaguar"

I originally purchased this DVD because of the other good reviews. I was very disappointed because there was not much footage of jaguars, nor was much research presented. Rather, this was a documentary of the jaguar researcher. You hear about his troubled childhood, you meet his mentor, you meet his wife and children, you see him in the hospital being treated for cancer, and you see his entire life story, etc. etc. It's not this this information is not interesting, but I wanted to see a nature documentary, and this essentially is a biography on a scientist. I would say less than 1/3 of the DVD shows actual footage of jaguars. If you want to see a pure nature documentary, do not waste your money on this.

One of The Best

One of my favourites. I was thoroughly dissapointed by Memnoch and Pandora and this restored my faith in Anne Rice. I have not yet had the pleasure of reading Vittorio but I hope she keeps up the trend with this style of writing.I was not offended by the relationship with Marius bacause, unlike other people, I am apparantly able to differentiate between fiction and reality. If I had any grievances with the book, their names were Sybelle and Benji. I could not find a point to their existence, but Anne usually has her reasons, even if we aren't made aware of them at first. I wholly enoyed this book. More on Bianca please Anne!

Great Film!

Though not as original as Shaun of the Dead (the first film to include this ensemble of actors), Hot Fuzz is still a great film with Simon Pegg at the helm. The plot is not as unique as Shaun of the Dead either, but as a genre film, it is great fun. This is also the second film in Simon Pegg's trilogy, so it's a must watch!

Blue and directionless

I like the album, but that's because I'm a softy. The production is still as spotless as it was on their debut; musically, they've fallen into the same pop/rock Venus fly trap that ensnares all but the best modern groups. "Ten Days Late" is fun ("Funny how you always cried out daddy," he says!) and there's a good line in "Camouflage" ("We walk along like a sequel/You're a cameo"), but it just isn't really good, particularly in comparison with their debut, which I thought was a knockout. Listening to "Blue," I bet they've never heard the Joni Mitchell album.

Xentrix was one of a handful of British thrash bands that existed in the heyday of thrash (late eighties/early nineties), with with a style that fit perfectly alongside the leading Bay Area bands of the time, such as Forbidden and Testament. After four albums, the band broke up for awhile and then reformed in 1996, eventually releasing Scourge before disbanding again.

Small, underpowered, ok for 6-7 yr old

We got this for our 10yr old after doing research on it on the Razor web site. It is recommended for a 12+ year old and we based our decision on that. Bottom line is it has 'ok' power if it is your childs very first electric vehicle. Any child with electric vehicle experience will love the looks and always be looking for power. For a child over 8-9 and 50-60lbs this will disappoint. It is VERY small, 12inch tires, and no suspension. Our son is average height/weight and he overwhelms the bike.Looks great but NOT worth the $.

I just recently purchased this producted, and I was very pleased with the shipping. The tip-up case arrived in four days, and I was able to track my shipment. The tip-up case holds four tip-ups without any trouble, but I did try to fit five, and things got very crowded and I didn't want risking damaging any of the tip-ups already inside. The case is constructed very well, and has an adjustable handle for over the shoulder, or over the back carrying. I'm very pleased with this product after one whole ice fishing season of use.

This is my favorite book, it is very thought provoking and packed with action. It is nothing like the movie of the same name, all the movie had in common with it was some of the names and that there was a bug war.

If you are into any type of science fiction militaryish books this is for you, shame on you for not having read it already!

The section on Backup / Recovey (one of the most important tasks of a DBA) is wrong. It is stated that during a recovery from cold backup, data entered between the time of the last backup and the time when the database was restored is lost. If using archive mode (which most production systems use), you can recover up to the point of failure with a cold or hot backup.

"Damn him and his singing...."

While not as insane a Branded To Kill (Suzuki's masterful yakuza crazy-noir), this one is just enough off-center to be considered not quite normal. The colors are bright and fantastically tantalizing (at least on blu-ray), and the mono sound is ample- love that recurring theme song (sung by the lead character) and the general goofiness which makes this film a masterful must-have for those of you who like their films to make them think (about what I have no idea). Criterion does their usual fantastic job making this one worth an upgrade over their earlier weak effort on dvd. A couple of interviews for extra features round off this necessary addition to any great film library....even if you turn the sound off, the visuals are enough to keep one's interest....this is a very well done film with masterful editing and strange colors that sometimes make it look like an early James Bond film or a Batman episode....great stuff here....
