rainy night music
john abercrombie and company unveil a subtle and exciting musical journey on this 2002 disc. the mood is established on the opening track "A Nice Idea" and evolves quickly into the outstanding "Convolution." mark feldman's violin floats in and around john's starry-eyed guitar passages and the rhythm section provides splashes of dark blue colours, allowing plenty of room for joey baron's expressive drumming. there are a few glorious moments of free musical release; but overall things are kept at a very controlled pace. overall, there seems to be an atmosphere of darkness incorporated with the music on this disc, but plenty of lighter notes escape from the corners and create a whimsical feeling that keeps you listening again and again. packaged nicely (as most ECM releases are) with lots of black and white photos of the performing musicians.

Poetry...
A friend recommended this to me. Never really listened to Jeff Buckley before, but I am now a huge fan. Definitely get the Legacy Edition. A beautiful album packed with so much emotion...a new favorite in my collection.

Cardboard characters, limping dialogue, weak plot
Basically I finished this book because I paid $6.99 for it in an aiport bookstore, had nothing else to read for a while, and because I started it. Bad reasons all.This is a weak, sour, unintelligent novel, populated by two-dimensional and largely interchangeable characters. The dialogue is colorless, humorless, and pedestrian. While the author seems to have some familiarity with the U.S. governmental system, with covert operations, and with Washington D.C., the portrayal of people, motives, and institutions is unpersuasive and frequently just unbelievable. The title is somewhat catchy but to the extent that this book appeals to some readers, the appeal is based on unrelieved cynicism about the political process. Don't waste your time.

Easy to use!
I loved this product when I got it. It took us all over the country with ease. Locate hotels, gas, food. Like the memory features for more frequent travels. The downfall is that the maps have to be updated at a COST. I've updated twice and it's due again. Almost spent as much on updates as the unit............

this movie in my opinion was really good, it was good to see a gd dragonball z movie since the dissapointing bio broly movie which sucked....It was good to see Super Saiyan 3 Goku again, fights were good, and the music suited the scenes well, and who can forget the mighty gogeta! the only thing i found bad bout this movie is you didnt get to see gogeta for that long jamenba and gogeta should have had a fight to the death but instead it ends so fast,I recomend this movie to any dragonball z fan u wont be dissapointed.... only got three words FU SION HA!!!!

Twelve Days of Terror
After reading "Close to Shore" I was interested to read more of the shark attacks in 1916 off the NJ shore. This book is well written and well researched. Pictures are also included which I liked. It has also prompted me to order the movie also, with the same title as this book, at this time it has not arrived but I am looking forward to it. This book is another "can't put it down book." I recommend it.

Be aware of the shipping charge!
The seller charged almost $320.00 for shipping and handling. Think of this: The item is in a box and requires assembly. So why is the shipping and handling so expensive? Almost twice the price of the item. In addition, the claim that the item is manufactured by the seller does it imply it is a refurbished one as another reviewer stated?

truely awful
If you're a fan of Buk, and you liked Post Office or Women or Factotum, then you'll probably HATE this book. It's truely awful. The writing is bad, is not funny, and has no real logic to it. I know that Buk was trying to write a parody novel of early detective stories, but I call this an experiment gone wrong. I don't know why the reviews are so good on this book. Don't buy this book.

Do NOT buy for Home Theater! (no HD)
Cable quality appears to be very nice. Very thick shielding. However, with Win7 at least, you will not be able to get native resolution for your TV through this cable (if you have a 1080p HD TV). I bought this because I wanted to put the computer farther than 6 ft away (length of VGA cable I had). When I hooked this up, the resolution dropped from 1920x1080, to 1024x768, and windows would not allow 1080p resolution. Go back to the cheap 6 ft VGA, works no problem. Apparently, some VGA cables don't support a certain pin that helps the computer identify the monitor, so windows locks any monitor you hook up with this to "generic PnP monitor". I've tried 2 long VGA cables so far, same results with both. I wish there were a way to identify up front which VGA cables support 1080p (identify monitor type), and which don't.

A true "must have"
I first encountered Ericson's classic recordings in their original LP form--the revered blue box set--as an undergraduate conductor at Westminster Choir College. The flexibility of choral tone, range of colors and superb diction set an entirely new standard for me (as well as provided my first introductions to Britten's Hymn to St. Cecilia, Rossini's I Gondolieri and Toast pour le nouvel an, and Schoenberg's Friede Auf Erden). If you have any degree of love for the choral art, these are still the finest single value for your money I can possibly recommend. One might wish the notes in the program book, which are good ones, included translations of the non-English texts ... but you can't have everything, I suppose.

One of the major memoriable influences among my reading
I read this book when I was eleven or twelve years old, and I bawled my heart out at the conclusion. This was one of three works that moved and upset me enough for others to notice (I seem to remember my mom walking in from hearing me crying). Another was "Sleepers", by Lorenzo Carcaterra (whether or not it was true) that I read when I was eighteen, and the third is the movie of Hyde's "Pay it Forward" which I recently saw on Pay Per View this past summer. This novel, along with the others, has had a tremendous influence on me and has made a mark in my writing. Hopefully, the world will witness it sooner or later.

Tried to watch the 3d version. Switched it over to 2d halfway in because there wasn't anything good about the 3d to see. The only thing that came out of the screen was snow. Big deal. My daughter didn't even watch the ending cause the story was stupid.

I refuse to be a slave to the stupid registration "stuff" and police-ware that comes free with this year's version of Turbo Tax. I have switched to Tax Cut and I hope everyone else does too. I would only consider using Turbo Tax again if they completely removed all the spy ware and registration restrictions.

I'd rather fully digest a fried cat in a savory butter herb sauce, than listen to this garbage. Fall Out Boy is a discrace to all of music. Beethoven is rolling over in his grave as we speak.

Wait, but that won't be good because then there would be even more people that sound like you, and we wouldn't want that now would we.

Not The Greatest
This was not the book I expected. Its plot is weak and its characters were poorly developed. The plot holds together in a rag-tag sort of way, but there are a lot of small plotlines that went nowhere. The book was a disappointing read because it was not so much about Halide's Gift, as it was about the series of events occuring in her life. Halide was a boring character, perhaps one of the blandest in the book, especially so considering that she is the protagonist, although there is no real conflict or problem in the theme.

Wierd but Good
The first time I saw this movie I thought it was so gross...but then a couple of years later it came out on the IFC channel and I sat down and payed attention to it. I really liked it the second time around. I like the direction and the way the movie is done. The plot is well written and well created by the characters. It makes you sit and wonder if there really are people willing to go to that extent to have someone love them!

Uno de los mejores libros de todos los tiempos.
El Quijote es de esos libros que invitan al lector a repensar en su propia vida, a buscar nuevos caminos para expresar la maravilla de vivir. Quien tiene contacto con este bello texto termina pareciéndose un poco a Don Quijote, esto es, una persona que no se resigna a ser un pobre diablo y se inventa para si un mundo lleno de fantasia, retos, desafios, y por supuesto de amor, logrando de este modo una nueva experiencia vital

A great Spanish test
I bought this book to help me prepare for the MTEL in Spanish because the other books did not get good ratings. It is a great book for preparing for the format of the exam although the real exam was shorter and heavily loaded with cultural and historical questions. The study guide at the beginning of the book is most invaluable because a lot of the questions are taken from there.

About Year Rusted
Oddly enough it rusts in only two places. One place you can scrub off the rust with a brush. However, it also rusts in place where the little sharp wheel is connected. There is a small hole (you can see it in the picture) and it's gotten so bad in there that it's about to rust through. I gave it two stars because it is extremely functional and easy to use. But I can't for the life of me understand why they would design this so that the reverse side of the cutting wheel is exposed inside a small hole?

Horrible
This book is by far the worst Vietnam War novel I have ever read. It is historically inaccurate. It portrays the Vietnamese as being compliant with the Geneva Convention, but as American prisoners were considered criminals rather than POWs, the Vietnamese did not follow the Geneva Convention. Nothing really happens in this book. It's more of an odd philosophy that has nothing to do with the war. There is little to no action in the book. Nothing really happens.

The best
I have been using this product for many years. It is fast drying and it keeps your polish looking great for a week or more. I go to the salon to do my nails and use this as a top coat. Dry my nail 3 cycles under the drying machine and I go home to wash my hair and do anything without messing up my nails. The next day I put another layer of this and my polish last even longer. I love this product. Try it and you will love it.

Not too complex, and definately a lot of fun!
Let me just start by saying, that the first day my friend got the game, we played it for about six hours... that's how much fun it is, and how easy to learn! Battle Cry is a two-player strategy game, that plays similarly to that of Risk. The scenerios that you can set up are actually those from the Civil War. Pickette's Charge, and First Bull Run, are just a few of the playable scenarios. The actuall gameplay is determined by the cards, and this is where the fun comes in. With the right cards, you'll have the oppurtunity to knock out some serious enemy units, or gain better position for your own. I like Risk, but this game is way better and makes more sense. The only complaint I have is that it is only a two-player game.

Good, but one flaw...
The iron is very good for the price I paid. Steam feature is perfect and it is comfortable in my hand. The only problem is the cord did not retract after the first use, so I am forced to wrap it around the unit to store. Not a big deal, but having a cord retractor would have been nice and it was part of the reason I chose this iron.

This movie was excellent. Once again, James Cameron astounds us with awesome special effects, a wonderful script, and a touching love story centered around a historical tragedy.

Unbelievably trite
Been there, done that so many times that it almost doesn't warrant mention. Young, jaded, wealthy Manhattanites who binge on sex, drugs, and violence. The young author has been swept up in a maelstrom of hype already showered on the likes of Bret Easton Ellis and Jay McInerney -- authors already proven to be as ridiculous as the subjects they allegedly "capture with so much gritty realism."Skip this. Mr. McDonell isn't the great hope of the literary community -- no matter what the gossip pages say. He is a barely mediocre talent who benefits from spin, privilege, and exceptional breeding.

Realistic
Cosidering the large amount of fantasy writers out there...You don't have to read anything but the very best. So when I saw the high ratings George R.R. Martin was getting I thought it would be worth my time...I was wrong. To be honest...It just sucked. If I want to read about politics I'll grab a newspaper and read the real thing. I have to give George credit, he was brave with his story telling. He wasn't afraid to kill anyone. But the characters were just pawns in some schemer's plot...so whomever dies in the story was meant to die. I wasn't surprised at all...just think of all the things that could go wrong realistically...and they go wrong... If you are looking for a character that rises above his/her negative heritage and becomes greater...then don't look in this series. Its really just there to be unpredictable...which is good. If you wait for the plot to become intense...you might be waiting for a while. Because you are reading fictional history. Not a epic heroic novel.

Grunts Review
WHAT A FREAKIN' HOOT!This book had me laughing like a loon from page 1. (Ahem... attention Mike Stackpole... sometimes that does mean that the reader read beyond page 1... sorry... inside joke there) At first from the absurdity of the idea, Ogres and other such fantasy critters becoming Marines for one, and then from the visualizations that were so clear as I got more and more into the book.I read this book about 10 years ago, and I still have some passages come to mind years later.Definitely a great romping read.

Would not have bought...had i known....
...that this charger (La Crosse Technology BC-9009) will not charge if batteries are depleted below 0.9V. Found this out when I tried to recharged a set of AAA which had been "all used up" and the charger display showed "null". The solution, according to the user manual, is to buy a cheaper charger and use it to get the batteries kick-started above 0.9V and then use the BC-9009 to complete the charging. Much upset about this. Was there something in the description on Amazon about this undervoltage limit that I missed? So, buyer beware!

Not much depth -- not recommended
This book just scratches the surface of setting up a home based recruiting business -- but not much else. There are many more indepth recruiting books on the market (and in the Library) today -- don't waste your money on this one. Most of what you will get out of this book you can read in any number of "setting up home based businesses for dummies or idiots or whoever". Very little content in this book is recruiting specific (Her "Recruiting Overview" chapter at the end of the book is only 2 pages long -- with alot of spacing between paragraphs -- that says something in itself).

Celine's worst album by far! Yawn...
Wow, what a disappointment! This lame album is a huge mis-step in Dion's career. I am just glad I didn't waste money on a concert ticket!! It's even more shocking when you remember how satisfying her last album One Heart really was. Celine absolutely has a wonderful voice - in the studio! This live recording captures at her worst: shrill, thin vocals, cheesy band and arrangements, and that awful simple minded banter in between songs. Her ernest efforts to sound sincere are so forced, I actually cringed while listening to this cd. And how misguided she is to have hubby allowing/forcing her to tackle great Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra songs. Those tracks are downright unlistenable! Celine, I am one of your biggest fans. I own all of your other cds, but no thanks to this one. Had to get rid of it... You've spoiled us with great albums in the past...that's what makes this tired, ill-conceived effort such a let down.

I'm sure I can find use for some of these LOW quality knives. I think I'll put a new high quality knife in the extra slot provided, I'm sure that's why it is there! And replace the steel too!

A Ducks Favorite Companion
We have a problem with ducks sunbathing on our dock. It hadn't happened yet this season so I put the owl out to ward off any ducks that might be thinking of it so no habits are formed. In less that 2 hours there were 5 ducks on the dock...all at the base of Owl! Strangely enough, I've had no ducks on the dock since I took the owl off (about two weeks). I know that will change but it's giving me time to think of something new. You might want to save your money on this one.

This album sucks. Boring guitar, bad vocals. If you can't sing, don't hide behind effects, just don't sing or hire a good singer. Stop with the played out harmonics. This guy is capable of so much more. There's a few spots where his guitar playing shines, but mostly uninspired pinch harmonics that don't make a song. Where are the songs??? Weak, weak, weak. I want to like this guy but his music isn't living up to the image he's projecting. I can barely make it thought the first listen, infact I'm shutting it off now. I made it to Spread Your Wings and said please stop. This is not hard rock, it's not really even music.

I was looking for an affordable lens to take on vacation with me and this one performed great. The large aperture is great for shooting in low light at all focal lengths (not quite like my 50mm/1.8, but I enjoy being able to zoom). Part of me wishes I had bit the bullet and gotten the new one with IS, but I got some really nice shots with this lens. I'm going to get rid of my kit lens because this one is SO much better. Totally worthwhile purchase!

What is this???
What is a Christian Goth? So your saying that one can be apart of something evil,but then thats ok because your a Christian? I don think so. Well frankly Rackets and drapes are a Marylin Manson/Alice Cooper rip off. Tim "Kandy Kane" Haas,lets get serious. Fight against what these kids are doing instead of going down to their level so they think you are cool and so they will listen to your music. I am pretty sure that someone who is Gothic needs to get out of the whole scene other than make themselves feel better by listening to Christian ""Gothic"" music. Gothic has to do with death and other Satanic babblings. Its like saying you don't like Halloween yet you go trick or treating. Being a hypocrite. If you are Gothic you are apart of the whole Gothic scene. There is no such thing as a Christian Gothic scene. Get a life.

I loved this book. It was assigned for a book club I am in, and I am glad. I probably would not have bought this book on my own. It is funny. It is interesting.

Quick, name your 5 all time best break ups! Women can't do it without thinking about it for a week, but apparently men can - instantly. Because that's how they converse, in list's....Buy it, enjoy it, and commit it to memory.

Movie-viewing akin to driving by a massive wreck on the highway
The '13 Tzameti' viewing experience is akin to driving by a massive wreck on the highway. You shouldn't look. You do anyway.When Georgian immigrant Sébastien (George Babluani) takes a mysterious ticket and hotel reservation intended for someone else (to say who is to probably give away too much), he takes viewers headlong into an enterprise that - when finally and acutely revealed - brings a mouthful of revulsion. It's shocking stuff.Be forewarned: '13 Tzameti' is - to put it lightly - not going to go down well with everyone. It's been 24 hours since I've seen it, and I'm still unsettled by it. Despite that, this is undeniably gripping movie-making by writer/director Géla Babluani.

Not worth the read
I went into this book with relatively low expectations. I understand a modern author is unable to capture the same elegance and feeling as Austen, but this was beyond bad. The auther seemed to feel that putting "Pray" in front of a sentence would be enough of a language change. She didn't even seem to try to really duplicate the language of the other Austen books. She did things with the characters that Austen would NEVER have approved of. Her treatment of Bingley alone ruins the book. I was amazed that she could so badly interpret the personalities and characters of the original. The sex was rather explicit and graphic. I bought this book with the intent of sending it to my mother and sisters when I was done, but I refuse to send it to them and have told all of them never to read it. It's not worth the time.

Best Bang for the Buck for new Photographers
I am really enjoying this lenses since I have received it about a month ago. Before this I was just using the standard kit lens that comes with a Rebel Xti (18-55). The glass in this lens seems to be superior to my prior lens and my images seems to have a crispness to them that they didn't have before. The only thing that I do not like about the lens is its ability to go out of focus. If you are on an upward or downward angle over 45 degree's the lens shifts out of focus. So I simply just hold it down manually, and that is a simple fix.Once again I am super happy with my purchase and I would suggest this lens to anyone else because of its quality to price ratio.

Great router bit set for the money.
About 20 years ago I used to be a professional cabinetmaker. I'm still a wood hobbyist. When I was a professional, I would have never thought of buying a cheap set of bits like this, but I have learned over the years that unless you use this equipment everyday, buying top brand stuff is not necessary. I can buy 2 of these sets for the cost of 2 name brand bits. That being said I did a lot of searching before I decided to buy this set. It was the most bang for the buck. So far I have used 4 of the bits. I used one of the straight bits for about an hour, and it did not fail or loose paint. I'm pretty happy with the set.

Iron Skillet
It was shipped very quickly. My only dissapointment was the picture showed a pouring spout but if you read the fine print there is none with this particular model. I felt the picture should have showed that. Otherwise it seems to be of good quality but always read the description.

AMAZING!
The CD "Leadership 101" by John Maxwell was terrific! I have listened to it multiple times, and will continue. I've gain so much by listening to the CD and look forward to purchasing more of his writting.

Not so Great After All
We had this block for about a year now and loved it. This block kept the knives really sharp. Well, we have a lot of large knives too and they keep falling out! In fact, almost daily we have a knife or two falling out and we have young children. So, suffice it to say .... we are in the market for a new knife block before one of us gets hurt with this one...

Pavement goes mellow and thoughtful
This album is an improvement over "Brighten The Corners", as the quality of the songwriting is more consistent. It seems the band has dropped the lo-fi sound and pyrotechnics for good. Or it could be that the mostly mellow theme of the album requires them to sound smoother, which is fine by me. They may return to their old tricks in later works. The best tracks are "Spit On A Stranger", "Cream of Gold", "Ann Don't Cry", but especially the eerie "The Hexx", and the lilting, hummable "Major Leagues", which is one of the best songs Pavement has recorded. I agree with a couple of other reviewers - it would have been nice to hear some of Spiral Stairs songs, but you'll have to pick up the "Major Leagues" ep to listen to them (and they are great).

Fake
This movie has nothing to do with the original Fist of Legend. Then to add salt to the wound it has nothing to do with JET LI. Instead it stars JET LE (like who is that?). Geez the nerve of people trying to make money under Jet Li's name. Don't waste time or money if you are trying to add to you Jet Li's collection.

Salient Studies for New Christians
This is a great starting tool to give new christians a framework upon which to build future bible studies. The author begins at the beginning, just as the bible does. The author adds value by providing the student with some history of how the bible came about. However, some doctinal issues (i.e., eschatology, dispensations and the like) must be challenged by the serious student. The author's basic outline does allow for a well-trained teacher to guide the student along the course of rightly dividing the Word of God and letting scripture interpret scripture, based on content, language and grammar,etc.

I loved this music...
Well, a few years ago I heard some excerpts from Purcell's Fairy Queen and instantly fell in love. This is one of the most underrated masterpieces of all time. Gardiner's direction is good, and the soloists are all great. However, I do have a small reservation about this recording. Although Gardiner is known for conducting at fast tempos, a couple of the arias from this recording struck me as not being fast enough. In any case, you won't be disappointed though, with Jennifer Smith's gorgeous coloratura and Archiv's digital sound, I could listen to "Thus the ever grateful spring" and "Hark how all things" all day. And, of course, Eiddwen Harrhy gives us an extremely beautiful (but somewhat lacking in dramatic effect) "Hark now the echoing air."

Good, but not great
It assembles easily, without any tools necessary. It looks nice, seems sturdy, and there is no rattling. Installing it so it stays upright is not as easy as it should, or could be. Have had it for a week, and it fell over on my dog once. Since then I have used a bungee cord to hold it to the seat in front of it so it hopefully does not fall over again. All in all though it seems good for the price.

Rip Off
Started video and it played for about 20-25 minutes, then quit. It appeared to be on pause mode and would not continue. Attempted several times to restart and play again with the same results. Total rip off!!!

The Wong Book for information
This book is great if you want to learn the statistical probabilities of throwing a 3 on your 40th throw of the dice but not very informative if you're trying to learn how to win at craps.

Not for the true horror fan
This is a horror/thriller about a killer running amok during a movie marathon. The idea behind the movie is sort of cool and ahead of its time, being that is was released in theaters in 1989. I think that is the only real positive thing I can say about this film. As far as acting goes, the movie stars Jill Schoelen and Tom Villard as the main charecters, and the acting is terrible and unconvincing. Also, the movie is not scary at all, in fact they try to make it funny by adding jokes. This is definitly not for the hard core horror fan, but maybe fans of the Scream and Urban Legend type of horror movies might find something special in this movie. As for quality, it made a good transition to DVD, although a bit grainy in some scenes. The sound is also decent throughout most of the movie. One thing it could have used is more extras added to the DVD.

All about the color black
A young girl explores all the beautiful things that are black, from "the inside of a pocket where surprises hide" to "Momma's cheek." This book is about the color black, but it's also about good self image. The social message it's trying to give is not heavy-handed and the illustrations are fanciful and fun.

Must Disagree!
With a number of glowing recommendations already written about this book I hesitate to express my disappointment. This is a less than memorable effort. The writing style is wordy and covers no new ground. For a beginner this book should be useful but no more. The photos have sparse details as to technique and technical information.For a far better source try Campbell's Backpackers's Handbook. That book will challenge and inspire photographers of all level of ability.Each to his own.

Maybe it was the light...
But I didn't think this ring was as purple as every says. To me, the colouring was more grey-tinged. The person I got it for loved it, however. I thought Gem Avenue's other stone for this ring, the aqua one, looked more realistic. Still, I'll order from them again.
