0	The worst book I have ever read	I was amazed at how bad this book was. It is about a kid who steels some famous guys shoes and has to go to boot camp and dig holes. That's 100 or so pages of him and some other criminals digging holes. There is also a secondary story about his grandfather stealing a pig. What I don't understand is how anyone could possibly like this book. I'm assuming the holes have some symbolic meaning, but I can't understand what it could be. I guess ther're emotional holes... Anyway, this is the worst book I have ever read and I suggest that if you must read it, take it out from the library. It's not worth your money!	negative
1	Civil War - The best documentary on our country	This is by far the best documentary ever made. Even those with no interest in history would enjoy this series. Ken Burns and his spectacular cast actually make you feel like you are there to witness the war that defined who and what kind of country we are today.	positive
1	ok but not what I expected	The book itself is satisfactory and works for my needs. I think it is a must for any healing touch student who is considering certification. It contains useful applications, pictures and insight from B. Brennan. There are also a lot of inspiring stories from Brennan's work. However, I bough it second hand and I was disappointed to find writing in the book and some smudges when it was listed as very good condition with no mention of the markings...wished I'd bough it new since this is a keeper for frequent reference.	positive
1	Works Perfect	The Lee Precision Rifle Charging Die works great! I have bought 3 more of these so I dont have to change it out of my turrret for other calibers. The only thing I wish is that i could load my 17 remington with it. But makes reloading so quick and fast and easy!	positive
0	Don't bother!	I bought this phone about a year ago as it was the right price for what I wanted. The sound has never been good (lots of static) and has got worse over the year. It is now totally broken, I cannot dial out and there is no ring when calling in. Very dissapointing, I thought Motorola would be a safe bet, but I won't be buying this brand again.	negative
1	A great phone for a great price	I have had the phone for about 1 month. The handsets have great clarity, but the answering machine can be a little hard to understand. Otherwise, this is a great phone which is very intuitive to operate. I previously had a Siemans cordless since this was one of the first phone systems that operated off a base. It had a better range than the Panasonic, I could get a signal up to 30 yards from my house, but I had trouble with the handset clarity.	positive
1	Quirky and Delightful	"The Artful Egg" is one of the very entertaining books in McClure's unique Kramer & Zondi series. These novels revolve around the exploits of two irreverent South African police detectives, one black and one white. "The Song Dog" is cited by many reviewers as McClure's best book in the series, but "The Artful Egg", written in 1984, is also a delight. Two different murders, some very playful dialogue, absurd scenarios, clever plotting, and a confused and sexually frustrated Indian postman who likens himself to Sherlock Holmes, help to give the book plenty of twists and local color. A thoroughly enjoyable read.	positive
0	an orchestra ...on a metal album ?	Excuse me , but aren't these the same cry babies who whined about losing their Grammy to a band that incoperates a flute in their act ? Nice job on For Whom The Bell Tolls, but man ..Metallica belongs in the Cry Baby Hall Of Fame not the rock and roll hall of fame	negative
0	More New Historicism	If one is interested in the latest nonsense from the academy, this time dressed up in New Historicist colors, buy this book. If one is interested in either American literary realism or contract law, however, one is better off actually reading those texts and trying to understand them.	negative
0	Obnoxious	I was so excited to get this book - and then so disappointed. It seems to me that Ross just inserted every Yiddish word she could come up with. It was so obnoxious I couldn't get through it.	negative
1	Sound is Unbelievable!	I wanted a portable radio that delivered great sound and this is all that for the price. I can connect my Droid phone and play I Heart Radio, or Pandora and the sound it great.	positive
1	The Title Says It all	Only The Best Of TATU Even If you have Songs You Never Heard TATU WILL SUCK YOU INTO ITS POWER	positive
1	highly recommended	wow- VERY thorough and well writtenHe backs up his points by scriptural references which are really helpful	positive
1	Excellent scholarship.... courageous conclusion!	I applaud Dr. Redpath for his work on this book. I do wish I could locate more of his writings.This book is an effort to trace the contemporary problems in philosophy (as-well-as of society) to some influences in "Transcendental Sophistry."The book is written with the scholar in mind, there are no verbose chapters, and very few punch-pulling ideas. This is why I commend Redpath. It is relatively short, compared to many of the books people read today, which does not imply that the book is short on scholarship. Indeed, Dr. Redpath knows his topic and gives excellent background resources.I only wish this book could gain wider-spread readership.	positive
0	If Ross the Intern was a Tourguide...	This is NOT the "Ultimate" GLBT guide to Disney Parks. If you're a twink, or a party boy, or a circuit guy, then maybe this will work for you, but the content is very basic and out of date (2007), and the ongoing bitchy parenthetical comments are, at best, annoying. If you are a more mature gay man or woman, looking for inciteful comments about art or fine dining (I don't consider gorge yourself buffets in this category), or advice (beyond where to cruise, make out, or get drunk), that might make your vacation more enjoyable, look elsewhere. This has all the substance of a "Ross the Intern" segment from the Tonight Show, with "humor" that reads like schtick that was too immature to make it into late-season Will and Grace. If a straight guy ever read this, it would only confirm all of the negative stereotypes about the gay community that we are tyring so hard to overcome. I purchased the e-version of this book, and will probably just deleat it.	negative
1	Great show, damaged package	My kids love this show so it turned out to be a great gift for them. However, the packaging arrived broken and the DVDs were loose inside the container. Luckily, the DVDs were not damaged.	positive
1	Must Have	This is it, every collection must have "Live Baby Live". Fantastic audio and the visions is as good as it gets, my only complaint is that I didn't get it sooner!	positive
0	Way to Basic	This book followed a plot woth charactors who did the thing you would expect them to do in a book. No charactor was real enough for me to know their charactor, to think of them as people that you could know(exept for people from other L'engle books). Almost hard to believe such a ood author wrote the book!	negative
1	Radio Your Way LX AM/FM Radio Recorder Review	This item is great ! I was able to record from my old tapes to mp3, and then burn them to cd. I love listening to my favorite AM talk shows. I listen to local news. There is no FM news stations I know of in Los Angeles. I can jog with it, work out, and listen to my favorite songs. I love the USB charger plug that comes with it. I do not have to hook it to my computer.	positive
1	Speak	In Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson unweaves the story of a girl who finds her inner strength. The summer before her freshman year, Melinda finds herself in a dangerous situation at a party and calls the police. When she attends school in September, everyone blames her for ending the party and she is left alone to deal with what really happened. Anderson's depiction of Melinda's feelings gives the reader a greater understanding of the suffering the character endures. Speak captures the struggles that teenagers face on a daily basis-the fear of rejection and the undying need for acceptance. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to ages 13 and over.	positive
1	An old dog learns new tricks	Caleb Carr uses a first person voice to describe visuals, digest ideas, listen for clues, and uncovering history while concurrently solving horid murders. The detail is delicious! He has our mind taking little trips and we experience vicariously the things he feels. The drama, suspense, and factual data made for an interesting read. At times, you couldn't turn the pages fast enough! If you are a fan of mystery, suspense, drama, and intrigue, and if you do not winch at "gory" crime scenes, you will appreciate Carr's story. Personally, I found it fascinating.	positive
1	Deserts (Audubon Society)	This is one of the best books for locating and learning about the desert, their habitat and a picture of them.	positive
1	HEPA Filter For Dirt Devil Upright Vacuum Cleaners	This is a filter required by the Dirt Devil upright vacuum in our home. I couldn't find this item at Wal-Mart who used to sell them and found it at Amazon for the same price including shipping as it sold for at Wal-Mart 13 months ago.	positive
1	A Great Classic!!	I own this game for the SNES and i LOVE it! It is funny and it never gets boring (the Mario series have the best replayability alongside RPGs). It ranks up there alongside SMB 3 as one of the greatest Mario games of all time. u go through 8 different worlds and defeat the 8 koopas (bosses). Ur goal is pretty much the same as in all the other Mario games (cept SMB 2). Ur goal is to defeat Bowser and rescue Princess Peach. Also, u can beat the Star World and the Secret Special world (accessible only once u beat the Star World), and soemthing kool will happen. I give this game five stars and above.	positive
0	There are better books, even for non-specialists.	I am a non-specialist using this textbook for an introductory college course, but I have read other linguistics books and scholarly articles. In Understanding Language Structure, Interaction, and Variation, definitions are sometimes incorrect or ambiguous; the writing/editing is sloppy; diagrams are not properly labeled.The textbook does cover linguistics topics necessary for teachers.Contemporary Linguistics by O'Grady, Archibald, Aronoff, and Rees-Miller; Language in Society: An Introduction to Sociolinguistics by Suzanne Romaine; The Study of Language by George Yule; and Language: Its Structure and Use by Edward Finegan and Niko Besnier are much better-written.	negative
1	Finally, a novel that exposes the manipulation game.	In this book Melissa Bank clearly gives a voice to the struggle that single women encounter. Although women have "come a long way" they are continually burdened with ridiculous expectations. Whenever the "relationship" subject comes up women are expected to lose a sense of who they are and are conned into playing the manipulation game. For once a novel articulately exposes the manipulation game and it's consequences.	positive
1	Kurt Nilsen "I"	I was fortunate enough to watch World Idol. Fortunate because I found Kurt Nilsen. Occasionally life hands you a pleasant surprise as was the case here. I was blown away by his voice. I knew he would win the moment I heard him. I have been a big fan ever since. I have not stopped playing this CD since I bought it and continually search online for more music by Kurt and his band Fenrik Lane. I would recommend this CD to anyone. He is a breath of fresh air in the idol world since he writes his own music and plays guitar and other instruments as well. He is a multi-talented caring young man who deserves to be a worldwide superstar.	positive
1	no third term	an amazing collection of photos and a few pages of text compose this independent production. probably 1000 items comprising banners,posters,pennants,ribbons,coins,handbills,metal pins,novelty items,celluloid buttons,joe louis and anti-FDR stuff are included. some notes on availability and a price guide(circa 1972) complete the 83 pages.	positive
1	Azz Kicking Cd	The Madd Rapper Rulz And Eminem Is On This CD How To Rob By 50 Cent Is Funny as h*ll he is robin Jay Z,P.Diddy,Lil Kim,Blackstreet and more good thing he did not say anything about DR.DRE Or Eminem.[Shady/Aftermath]2003 D-12,Hittman,Tray-Dee,50 Cent,Royce The 5-9,G Unit,DR.DRE,And Eminem	positive
1	Some really great views.	Fun the first time I watched it, don't expect a complex storyline. Second time I watched it found myself fast forwarding to all the dance scenes. Definitely a girls night movie, fun and silly.	positive
0	Poorly made, expensive for such inadequate quality.	This product is product is extremely overprice for such poor quality. The performance of this coffee maker is abysmal.The big issue is that wont seal properly even after applying good amount of force, about 30% the water gets release on joints instead of going up.I saw a bialleti made of aluminum original from Italy and they look at least 5 times better quality that this one that is made on India, just look the difference on the plastics, the finishing and side valve.Now I have to buy another coffee maker of this because does not work, and I'm unable to return this because a bought this from a amazon third party seller.Go a buy the aluminium version .. not this.	negative
1	Great price performance	I was torn between this flash and the SB-800. I decided to save a little money and do with out more poser and I think one extra feature. Very satisfied. I do not use all the features on the flash - it is beyond my needs, but I like knowing they are there. I am happy with my compromise	positive
0	Far left wing liberal!!	Let me start by stating the simple facts: 1.) the media is by far a liberal organization. They will pull anything to attack Bush or the republicans. If the writer is correct about what he was saying: where in the world was the media? It seems to me they missed a huge story!! 2.) If Al Gore was all about protecting the rights of voters, Why didn't he say something? Or would it not be the right thing to do? Apparently Al Gore and the rest of the democrats let the voters down with their silence. Why are they not saying something now? This is nothing more than a lame attempt to degrade the President of the United States, and the Govenor of Florida. Not to mention try and divide our nation at a time when we should be pulling together as a nation behind our leader and looking to the future! I strongly urge all Americans not to buy this book and further divide our nation. Instead help bring us closer together to make it through such a hard time in our history.	negative
1	Got what I expected	Its as small and convenient as it looks. Only improvement I would make is a plastic case to make it lighter. Still, I love it! The perfect travel device.	positive
1	Big N2	One word,"BIG". If your into all day woods or tactical paintball this is good. Otherwise its just BIG.	positive
0	One more person selling jargon ...	rather then real insight and ideas.WARNING: Those who gave this book more then 2 stars are the same same business people who made "Who Moved My Cheese" a best seller.	negative
0	lacking	Expecting to hear tales of families and everyday people, this book is instead about a student, Ma Bo, who took up the fight with the Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution. Though Bo tells some interesting stories about how the Red Guard worked, and how ignorant those in power seemed to be, he also feels very sorry for himself and how he was treated. One tires of the whining. Beyond that, some of the translation seemed to use vernacular that was inappropriate or dated. Overall, a disappointment.	negative
0	Horrible and scary	I hated this record when I was little. Every song was about people being mean to each other, as far as I remember. The worst song on it was Girl Land, I think that was the name of it. Anyway, that song talked about how in Boy Land you were allowed play sports and have fun and whatnot, but in Girl Land you had to stay inside and play with dolls and sew and stuff. The verse about Girl Land was even accompanied by scary music. Every time the Girl Land song came on I used to panic and hide under the table, becuase I was scared that someone was going to capture me and take me there. I think I was extremelly psychologically damaged by that song. The rest of the record was pretty crappy and scary as well.	negative
1	SO who died and made you God???	This album rocks. Nothing really different, but they were heavy and had a good groove! You'd love it.	positive
1	If they can make it...	Let's face it, not everyone can make "the audition," but achieving the role of "Phantom" means you can really sing! This CD proves that. Most (not all) of the songs and arrangements are good. It's a nice mix of music, that has something for everyone. High praise, particularly for the moving song "Your're already there" as sung by Hugh Panaro.The concept of bringing these artists together is pure genius. May we expect a "Fabulous Phantom's II?"	positive
0	Too heavy for my fine, straight hair	I got a little sample tube of this with their shampoo/conditioner (which I love!). Gave it a try and had to wash it out. I only used a pea sized drop (I have a chin length bob) and it made my hair greasy. I think this product is just too heavy for my fine, straight hair. Think my niece, who has thick, curly hair, will enjoy it, though!	negative
0	a deeply flawed text	While an important contribution to the literature on the history of the Cold War, a shocking number of production errors marrs the text. The most agregious error is in Laura Nadar's essay in which she inadvertantly accuses Eric Wolf of stealing documents when he was in fact the recipient of such documents. Even the most sympathetic reader will eventually question the conclusions reached by the contributors	negative
1	Gift for a grandson	He was absolutely delighted with this set and I imagine we'll continue to get other sets for birthday gifts, etc.	positive
0	looks just like a piece of cardboard	I thought that this paper would be similar to the matte finish at local photo places, but it looks and prints just like a piece of cardboard. Very disappointed	negative
0	Complete garbage	Why the hell they decided to make a love story the focus of a WAR MOVIE. This ping pong ball romance ruined this movie.	negative
1	Great for a beginner	I needed a sewing machine mostly for hemming and repairs. I've never sewn before so I needed something that is easy to use. I'm very pleased with this machine so far. The manual is pretty good but it could use some clarification for the novice users. Setting it up to sew is very easy. I'm sure I will get a lot of use from this machine.	positive
1	A must read for the artist!	This book is exactly what the title says it is a Legal Guide for the Visual Artist. I wouldn't say the wording is the easiest or most interesting--it is law--but it definitely seems to be written in a way so that the artist can understand it. As someone who stumbles over law, I appreciated this book. The guide provides examples of forms that might be needed and gives examples of famous cases that have occurred with pictures to help in understanding them. The book is very helpful and pretty up to date, covering not only the older forms of art like painting and sculpture, but also new forms like digital imagery. As an artist, if you are going to get one art law book, buy this one.	positive
0	I just didn't like it	I wished that they would have let her sing DCOL like she did on AI. And Dreams is a sappy song with sappy lyrics. I hope that her album is better than this. Diana is such a sweet girl and just needs better songs to work with.	negative
0	Pass this one over.	I expected a book that provided a ready question to use in any situation - this is a book that provides you with a list of questions that you ask yourself when the world bites you.I wanted a list of questions to bite other people as you always answer a tough question with another question. Perry Mason always had the right question to thump the witness that got out of line.This is a self help book, not a guide to verbal and intellectual war with pompous managers and other fellow travelers. Give it a wide berth unless you are already sinking in your own failure.	negative
0	Coldplay? More like OVERPLAYED!	Overrated too. These guys are lame. I've heard maybe 5 songs by "Coldplay" and they were all slow, dry, boring, withery, flakey, coagulated, bitter, lifeless and forgettable. Well, not totally forgettable, cuz everytime they come out with a new single, it just reminds me of the last one. They're an extention of eachother.It's amazing what becomes the talk of the town these days...	negative
0	Was a 5-star, Now a 1-star	I loved this product!!!! It worked great and I was a devout "steamer convert." After about two months though, the motor burned out on it and the smell was horrific. I called customer service who told me to clean it with fresh water. Obviously that did not fix it. I have now been tasked with boxing it up and paying for shipping both ways for EuroPro to fix it. Now it just one steaming pile of youknowwhat. The cost for shipping and the painintheassness of it all will lead me to buy a different brand of steamer (can't live without it now) and never buy a EuroPro item again.	negative
1	Holy Bible Text Edition NLT	I am very satisfied with this Bible.I have been using it in Church and Sunday School. Everything is easy to find. you can underline,highlight,and get definitions easily.Thanks alot!	positive
1	A Film For Open-Minded People	The editorial review is way off-base. It's true that the film is very long, but it is not tiresome in the least. It's very interesting and will appeal to anyone with an open mind about biological life forms being more than just their physical bodies.	positive
0	HAN SHOT FIRST!	Give the people what they want George, the original movies on blu-ray.NO SALE! HAN SHOT FIRST!	negative
0	Extremely poor quality	This is extremely poor quality/defective. The measurement markings on the cup rubbed off after just a few uses. Item was hand-washed and used under completely normal conditions.	negative
0	Invasion of the Talent Snatchers	Tim McGraw and Faith Hill left a pod under Lori McKenna's bed. And said pod, just like in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," converted Lori to "one of them." The Kitchen Tapes...Paper Wings & Halo...Pieces of Me...and Bittertown. All brilliant. Each one better than the last. Now Unglamorous. The pod people have helped Lori make an album of country glop. I guess once you make Oprah cry and have a feature done on you for Nightline, the uniqueness kind of goes away. I wish Buddy Miller would've produced Lori's new album. He's one of the best guitarists/producers in roots music today. If you liked Lori's previous albums, I suggest you pass on this one. You'll be disappointed. Go buy a Patty Griffin or Kathleen Edwards album instead.	negative
0	There are two sides to every story!	A very entertaining book, but not very thought-provoking and extremely biased. I've lived in Hollywood and I can tell you that not every little girl is a victim. None of these ho's would complain if Brad Pitt offered them a million dollars to sleep with them. But instead they hook up with socially inept, awkward and immature power players whose only crime is not having the time or the skills to romance a lady properly whether or not those biatches deserves it. And most of the no-talent gold-diggers who publish tell all novels don't.T. L. Young	negative
1	Great	This is an excellent movie documenting the corruption of our president. I'd like to recommend a movie that is more important, though. It is 911 in Plane Site. Check out the website www.911inplanesite.com The movie shows suppressed video evidence from 9/11 that proves the government's"official story" is ludicrous. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!!Please, check it out.	positive
1	Black sheep One	got this one the same time volume two arrived & have been getting as much use out of this set as I am volume one. If there are any more volumes out there, please let me know! Sincerely, Thomas Graham	positive
1	Mind-blowing metal.	I don't actually have any Meshuggah albums yet, but after hearing this song, I certainly will. There have only been a handful of modern bands which have seriously moved me in some kind of emotional way. Meshuggah is one of them.Pink Floyd puts the listener into a dreamlike state (which is why they're associated with drug use). Mr. Bungle, a lesser known band, made me feel like I was jumping off the walls at a freak show. Meshuggah... Well... They gave me visions of a tormented futuristic world, one in which there is no humanity, just cold steel. This is one of the few Metal songs in which the fullest possibilities of the genere are fufilled. Meshuggah takes you to a place, a frightening place at that, but for some reason, you want to go back there again and again.I listen to Metal more than anything, and I'd have to say that these guys have composed the most original metal song ever. Even anything Black Sabbath did may not have been as original as this.	positive
1	Excellent, but want more!	This CD recaptures some, but not all, of the punch and joy that I remember Seatrain delivering live in a small D.C. club, circa 1970. For more of both, I too would love to see Amazon prevail upon Capitol to re-press Seatrain's other self-titled classic featuring fiddle vituoso Greene on a dazzling "Little Sally Goodin / O.B.S." that will have you dancing in your seat.	positive
0	Don't bother	This book is not for the person who has been out practicing law for several years. It is probably somewhat helpful for those who realize that practicing law is not for them either while in law school or shortly afterward, but there are better resources out there. The book consists of some introductory material which says that if you don't like law or cannot find a decent legal job, you are not a "loser," followed by a large collection of "sample" letters and resumes. You get the idea after one or two, but as this book really has nothing else to say, the many samples serve as redundant filler.	negative
0	HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	Relying on a glowing review from a famous talk show star's magazine, I decided to give this a try. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. This product turned my hair into a dry dull orange bush. Not only did it not provide shine, it did the polar opposite. Now I am growing out a rough orange mat of hair that was only made worse by trying to dye it natural black again with another product. I could not comb through my hair. It became fragile, wispy and prone to heavy duty breakage. Shine happy put a layer of dullness over my hair that lead to complete un-manageability. This product should be removed from the market.	negative
1	Vanity Fair PJ's	The most comfortable PJ's you'll ever wear! They wash nicely just don't put them in a dryer for more than 5 min.and then hang them up!	positive
0	not worth it	If you want a well made gauge, don't buy this one. Very cheap feel and looks, picture only looks good. Instruction say you can release tire pressure, but button at the bottom is only a fixed piece of plastic, it has no function at all. "SET Your Pressure" has no purpose, I assume it had something to with the pressure reading but it doesn't. Look for something else.	negative
0	It not work	It did not work, just on and off the doors but the alarm is not activated or disabled. Send an email to the four technical advisers and only one answered but I still could not be put to work.I put in the jar of thing does not work.	negative
1	great for vanilla	I got these to put my homemade vanilla in and they will work out great. Perfect size for what I need them for.	positive
0	The Expendable Movie That Couldn't	Hey folks, I guess there is more beer being consumed during this picture to get such high stars. Guess a lot of people seeing this movie were already lit by the time California's former do-nothing Governor made his cheap "cameo appearance". Why the producers let this movie get passed the editing room is beyond me, but maybe they were a bit intoxicated too by this all-star LackLuster bomb. Another waste of Bruce Willis' talent for jokes. This would have made a thrill-ride comic blast, but I think it's the answer to America's insomnia problems. Arnold should do more movies, yes, to refund the taxpayers for the bridge he couldn't even finish!	negative
1	Great book,couldn't put it down,as all of his books.	I love stephen King books and movies.I collect them all,he is my favorite onlong with Dean Koonez.I have most all of his movies and books and some audio tapes.I perfer the audio tapes but are to expenive....I would love to met King,I think he is the greatest,I will be moving to New Hampshire soon,and I know he lives in Main.hopefully he will have a book signing or something ,then I can met him..good going Stephen King,keep them books coming.I get them as soon as they come out.and can harldy waite for the next one.	positive
1	LOVE LARNELL HARRIS	What a great CD. When this first came out I bought the cassette. I've been wanting to get this CD and found it on Amazon. Great condition.Great Price.. Love the music! Very Uplifting!	positive
0	DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND	Bought the Bell foot pump and noticed immediately the psi gauge fluctuated erratically and was unreliable. The foot pump literally disintegrated after a month's use, where I was forced to use nails and tape to prolong the use of a design built from extremely substandard parts and materials. I just replaced it with a Zefal pump which so far has worked beautifully and came with presto and schrader settings. The mangled Bell pump is in the trash can.	negative
1	The one!	This book really has all that you need. There could be more questions to help you prepare for the exam. Be careful things mentioned in passing appeared on the test.	positive
1	Solid Construction and Bumping Base	I purchased the V6s to use DJing. They definitely are worth every penny (I snagged them for $70). The low end is solid and the set beats my grado SR60s for EDM, House, etc.The construction is also very solid with the cord reinforced at both the plug and left earpiece. Sound isolation from the pads seems to relatively effective but I haven't had the chance to use them in a loud environment or with a separate speaker set yet.The packaging included a bag to help protect the headphones which was a nice addition though I may try and find a container for extra security (I'm notoriously rough on my portable audio equipment).I plan to do a side by side review of SR60s vs. the V6s in the near future but my guess is that outside of bass driven genres the SR60s will provide a bit better listening experience. By the way, these headphones are extremely comfortable and despite my fat head I haven't noticed any discomfort due to tightness.	positive
1	DVD The Vikings	I would highly recommend this movie "The Vikings" if you like old movies. First of all it stars Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, and Janet Leigh when they were young and beautiful! This movie has drama, romance, action, humor, etc. The story line is very interesting, and there is a lot of Nordic mythology. The commentary by directory shows the research they put into the making of the movie to be sure that the setting was authentic in its presentation The music is very beautiful and really enhances the movie. I was only able to find this old movie, "The Vikings" through Amazon.com and it was in excellent condition. Search under movies or all products on Amazon.com and put in "dvd The Vikings".The Vikings	positive
1	Absolutely Hysterical	Bought this my husband for Christmas. We watched it Christmas day including my 20 year old son. It was absolutely hysterical. This is a great movie to watch if you want to have a good laugh!	positive
0	Not a childrens' portrayal of the Christmas story ...	Do not assume, just because Legos are involved, that this is a book to share with young children. The Holy Ghost is a frightening character, circumcision is accomplished with a knife the size of the infant Jesus, and the illustration of Herod's order to slaughter all male infants less than two years of age is complete with decapitated infants in the background! Both frightening and disappointing!	negative
1	AWSOME, Game Is Wicked Cool	Great game great controls,4 players, great graphics,can it get any better	positive
1	Gong Li -- The Bette Davis of Chinese film	A typical US ganster plot, with a twist and growth of character. Gong Li is not only beautiful but one of the most talented actresses of our times. Viewers must compare her role in this film to "To Live" and "The Chinese Box" to realize the full range of her talent. Like the legends of Hollywood, this woman doesn't need to show any skin, because she just simply "oozes sexy".	positive

1	The best novel I have read in a long while!	This was my first Lynn Hightower novel. Believe me when I tell you that it definetly has not been my only! This novel grips you from the first few chapters and doesn't let go until the very end! The plot is simple but very interesting! I read this book int two days, which is amazing considering I work full time, attend night classes and have a toddler at home! I highly recommend this novel to anyone that loves mysteries!!!!	positive

0	Not an adequate or satisfying introduction/technical manual.	After reading this book in one short sitting, I am unsure as to why the author wrote it. The book basically describes a step-by-step process of Kyudo with several anecdotes sprinkled here and there. The reader is provided with many technical details, but is left confused from the lack of a fluid overview of the subject matter. The few illustrations that do exist provided very little descriptive aid to the text. Noticeable aspects of the book are its tone and language. The writing style is both cumbersome and reminiscent of a 1940's technical manual. The author also assumes that the reader knows very little of the Japanese culture and beliefs. While this is not a fault, it is an ineffective assumption for such a short book. I assumed that the book was meant to be an introduction to Kyudo. In this regard, the book failed to accomplish its goal, leaving anyone interested in Kyudo to search for a more substantial and clear text.	negative
1	Good for the price, but can't go very loud	I like it because it was cheaper than a lot of other products, but one thing I wish it had was a remote, and if I put the volume all the way up, there is some vibration. And it really can't go super loud, even though it's loud enough for me when I'm in the house, it's just not going to be shaking the house! I was considering sending it back when I realized this, but for the money, it seems good enough so I decided to keep it. I hope to find one that can be louder and have a remote though.	positive
1	Definitely worth a read!	But drat the book anyway. My first day of vacation and I think, "I'll just read the first chapter over breakfast." I mean, I had things to DO on my vacation. And instead I'm glued to the book all morning. Five kleenexes gone. And five stars, too. I almost never give out five stars any more!Very enjoyable, lovely characters and the heroine is "reubenesque." Thank you, Ms. Fox! Good situation, tight plot, very welcome bits of humor. My only wish would be that there would have been maybe two less touchy-erotic scenes in the first half. Other than that, the relationship was electrical and the book kept me guessing about possible endings.This is the first romance book that I thought I'd like to see made into a TV movie, if only so lots of other people would get to enjoy it, too. I very much look forward to the next fantasy romance book due out, what, this fall?, from Ms. Fox.	positive

Terrible if you work for a living with your computer, and highly depend on it to survive. The third time it happened, I decided to sell it, second hand. Unfortunately, I was never able to sell my Lacie drive as the power input literally started burning, releasing a plume of smoke, and the smell of an electrical plastic burn permeated my office.If I learned something from this experience was to never buy Lacie.

1	A sobering view of the American educational system	This book was a real eye-opener, exposing the wretched conditions of inner-city schools in America. I think it should be required reading for every person in this country, because it is an issue that receives little if any attention. I would never have known how bad the system is for some cities without reading this book.Kozol is an appropriate author, detailing specific trips he has taken to inner city schools to directly observe the state of their schools in comparison to the affluent suburbs.My only critique is that after awhile, the stories all seem to sound the same, but it just emphasizes how widespread this problem is and that something must be done about it.	positive
1	Unique and Friendly Approach to Designing Information	As a teacher of technical writing for many years, I've been looking for a book that gives the basics of how to organize and present information in a way that doesn't intimidate readers. This is the book! It is an easy read with a plethora of guidelines and practical suggestions so that even the novice can "do it." In addition, the author's warm and approachable tone makes this a fun and easy read. But it also presents a unique blending of information including how to do an audience analysis, adult learning theory for the information designer, basic page layout, color use guidelines and more. I am using it for my college Document and Information Design class, and the students love it!	positive

The worst book I have ever read

I was amazed at how bad this book was. It is about a kid who steels some famous guys shoes and has to go to boot camp and dig holes. That's 100 or so pages of him and some other criminals digging holes. There is also a secondary story about his grandfather stealing a pig. What I don't understand is how anyone could possibly like this book. I'm assuming the holes have some symbolic meaning, but I can't understand what it could be. I guess ther're emotional holes... Anyway, this is the worst book I have ever read and I suggest that if you must read it, take it out from the library. It's not worth your money!

ok but not what I expected

The book itself is satisfactory and works for my needs. I think it is a must for any healing touch student who is considering certification. It contains useful applications, pictures and insight from B. Brennan. There are also a lot of inspiring stories from Brennan's work. However, I bough it second hand and I was disappointed to find writing in the book and some smudges when it was listed as very good condition with no mention of the markings...wished I'd bough it new since this is a keeper for frequent reference.

I bought this phone about a year ago as it was the right price for what I wanted. The sound has never been good (lots of static) and has got worse over the year. It is now totally broken, I cannot dial out and there is no ring when calling in. Very dissapointing, I thought Motorola would be a safe bet, but I won't be buying this brand again.

A great phone for a great price

I have had the phone for about 1 month. The handsets have great clarity, but the answering machine can be a little hard to understand. Otherwise, this is a great phone which is very intuitive to operate. I previously had a Siemans cordless since this was one of the first phone systems that operated off a base. It had a better range than the Panasonic, I could get a signal up to 30 yards from my house, but I had trouble with the handset clarity.

Quirky and Delightful

"The Artful Egg" is one of the very entertaining books in McClure's unique Kramer & Zondi series. These novels revolve around the exploits of two irreverent South African police detectives, one black and one white. "The Song Dog" is cited by many reviewers as McClure's best book in the series, but "The Artful Egg", written in 1984, is also a delight. Two different murders, some very playful dialogue, absurd scenarios, clever plotting, and a confused and sexually frustrated Indian postman who likens himself to Sherlock Holmes, help to give the book plenty of twists and local color. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Excellent scholarship.... courageous conclusion!

I applaud Dr. Redpath for his work on this book. I do wish I could locate more of his writings.This book is an effort to trace the contemporary problems in philosophy (as-well-as of society) to some influences in "Transcendental Sophistry."The book is written with the scholar in mind, there are no verbose chapters, and very few punch-pulling ideas. This is why I commend Redpath. It is relatively short, compared to many of the books people read today, which does not imply that the book is short on scholarship. Indeed, Dr. Redpath knows his topic and gives excellent background resources.I only wish this book could gain wider-spread readership.

If Ross the Intern was a Tourguide...

This is NOT the "Ultimate" GLBT guide to Disney Parks. If you're a twink, or a party boy, or a circuit guy, then maybe this will work for you, but the content is very basic and out of date (2007), and the ongoing bitchy parenthetical comments are, at best, annoying. If you are a more mature gay man or woman, looking for inciteful comments about art or fine dining (I don't consider gorge yourself buffets in this category), or advice (beyond where to cruise, make out, or get drunk), that might make your vacation more enjoyable, look elsewhere. This has all the substance of a "Ross the Intern" segment from the Tonight Show, with "humor" that reads like schtick that was too immature to make it into late-season Will and Grace. If a straight guy ever read this, it would only confirm all of the negative stereotypes about the gay community that we are tyring so hard to overcome. I purchased the e-version of this book, and will probably just deleat it.

Speak

In Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson unweaves the story of a girl who finds her inner strength. The summer before her freshman year, Melinda finds herself in a dangerous situation at a party and calls the police. When she attends school in September, everyone blames her for ending the party and she is left alone to deal with what really happened. Anderson's depiction of Melinda's feelings gives the reader a greater understanding of the suffering the character endures. Speak captures the struggles that teenagers face on a daily basis-the fear of rejection and the undying need for acceptance. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to ages 13 and over.

An old dog learns new tricks

Caleb Carr uses a first person voice to describe visuals, digest ideas, listen for clues, and uncovering history while concurrently solving horid murders. The detail is delicious! He has our mind taking little trips and we experience vicariously the things he feels. The drama, suspense, and factual data made for an interesting read. At times, you couldn't turn the pages fast enough! If you are a fan of mystery, suspense, drama, and intrigue, and if you do not winch at "gory" crime scenes, you will appreciate Carr's story. Personally, I found it fascinating.

I own this game for the SNES and i LOVE it! It is funny and it never gets boring (the Mario series have the best replayability alongside RPGs). It ranks up there alongside SMB 3 as one of the greatest Mario games of all time. u go through 8 different worlds and defeat the 8 koopas (bosses). Ur goal is pretty much the same as in all the other Mario games (cept SMB 2). Ur goal is to defeat Bowser and rescue Princess Peach. Also, u can beat the Star World and the Secret Special world (accessible only once u beat the Star World), and soemthing kool will happen. I give this game five stars and above.

There are better books, even for non-specialists.

I am a non-specialist using this textbook for an introductory college course, but I have read other linguistics books and scholarly articles. In Understanding Language Structure, Interaction, and Variation, definitions are sometimes incorrect or ambiguous; the writing/editing is sloppy; diagrams are not properly labeled.The textbook does cover linguistics topics necessary for teachers.Contemporary Linguistics by O'Grady, Archibald, Aronoff, and Rees-Miller; Language in Society: An Introduction to Sociolinguistics by Suzanne Romaine; The Study of Language by George Yule; and Language: Its Structure and Use by Edward Finegan and Niko Besnier are much better-written.

Finally, a novel that exposes the manipulation game.

In this book Melissa Bank clearly gives a voice to the struggle that single women encounter. Although women have "come a long way" they are continually burdened with ridiculous expectations. Whenever the "relationship" subject comes up women are expected to lose a sense of who they are and are conned into playing the manipulation game. For once a novel articulately exposes the manipulation game and it's consequences.

Kurt Nilsen "I"

I was fortunate enough to watch World Idol. Fortunate because I found Kurt Nilsen. Occasionally life hands you a pleasant surprise as was the case here. I was blown away by his voice. I knew he would win the moment I heard him. I have been a big fan ever since. I have not stopped playing this CD since I bought it and continually search online for more music by Kurt and his band Fenrik Lane. I would recommend this CD to anyone. He is a breath of fresh air in the idol world since he writes his own music and plays guitar and other instruments as well. He is a multi-talented caring young man who deserves to be a worldwide superstar.

Far left wing liberal!!

Let me start by stating the simple facts: 1.) the media is by far a liberal organization. They will pull anything to attack Bush or the republicans. If the writer is correct about what he was saying: where in the world was the media? It seems to me they missed a huge story!! 2.) If Al Gore was all about protecting the rights of voters, Why didn't he say something? Or would it not be the right thing to do? Apparently Al Gore and the rest of the democrats let the voters down with their silence. Why are they not saying something now? This is nothing more than a lame attempt to degrade the President of the United States, and the Govenor of Florida. Not to mention try and divide our nation at a time when we should be pulling together as a nation behind our leader and looking to the future! I strongly urge all Americans not to buy this book and further divide our nation. Instead help bring us closer together to make it through such a hard time in our history.

lacking

Expecting to hear tales of families and everyday people, this book is instead about a student, Ma Bo, who took up the fight with the Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution. Though Bo tells some interesting stories about how the Red Guard worked, and how ignorant those in power seemed to be, he also feels very sorry for himself and how he was treated. One tires of the whining. Beyond that, some of the translation seemed to use vernacular that was inappropriate or dated. Overall, a disappointment.

Horrible and scary

I hated this record when I was little. Every song was about people being mean to each other, as far as I remember. The worst song on it was Girl Land, I think that was the name of it. Anyway, that song talked about how in Boy Land you were allowed play sports and have fun and whatnot, but in Girl Land you had to stay inside and play with dolls and sew and stuff. The verse about Girl Land was even accompanied by scary music. Every time the Girl Land song came on I used to panic and hide under the table, becuase I was scared that someone was going to capture me and take me there. I think I was extremelly psychologically damaged by that song. The rest of the record was pretty crappy and scary as well.

While an important contribution to the literature on the history of the Cold War, a shocking number of production errors marrs the text.

A must read for the artist!

This book is exactly what the title says it is a Legal Guide for the Visual Artist. I wouldn't say the wording is the easiest or most interesting--it is law--but it definitely seems to be written in a way so that the artist can understand it. As someone who stumbles over law, I appreciated this book. The guide provides examples of forms that might be needed and gives examples of famous cases that have occurred with pictures to help in understanding them. The book is very helpful and pretty up to date, covering not only the older forms of art like painting and sculpture, but also new forms like digital imagery. As an artist, if you are going to get one art law book, buy this one.

I expected a book that provided a ready question to use in any situation - this is a book that provides you with a list of questions that you ask yourself when the world bites you.I wanted a list of questions to bite other people as you always answer a tough question with another question. Perry Mason always had the right question to thump the witness that got out of line.This is a self help book, not a guide to verbal and intellectual war with pompous managers and other fellow travelers.

Now it just one steaming pile of youknowwhat.

Invasion of the Talent Snatchers

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill left a pod under Lori McKenna's bed. And said pod, just like in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," converted Lori to "one of them." The Kitchen Tapes...Paper Wings & Halo...Pieces of Me...and Bittertown. All brilliant. Each one better than the last. Now Unglamorous. The pod people have helped Lori make an album of country glop. I guess once you make Oprah cry and have a feature done on you for Nightline, the uniqueness kind of goes away. I wish Buddy Miller would've produced Lori's new album. He's one of the best guitarists/producers in roots music today. If you liked Lori's previous albums, I suggest you pass on this one. You'll be disappointed. Go buy a Patty Griffin or Kathleen Edwards album instead.

A very entertaining book, but not very thought-provoking and extremely biased. I've lived in Hollywood and I can tell you that not every little girl is a victim. None of these ho's would complain if Brad Pitt offered them a million dollars to sleep with them. But instead they hook up with socially inept, awkward and immature power players whose only crime is not having the time or the skills to romance a lady properly whether or not those biatches deserves it. And most of the no-talent gold-diggers who publish tell all novels don't.T. L. Young

Great

This is an excellent movie documenting the corruption of our president. I'd like to recommend a movie that is more important, though. It is 911 in Plane Site. Check out the website www.911inplanesite.com The movie shows suppressed video evidence from 9/11 that proves the government's"official story" is ludicrous. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!!Please, check it out.

Mind-blowing metal.

I don't actually have any Meshuggah albums yet, but after hearing this song, I certainly will. There have only been a handful of modern bands which have seriously moved me in some kind of emotional way. Meshuggah is one of them.Pink Floyd puts the listener into a dreamlike state (which is why they're associated with drug use). Mr. Bungle, a lesser known band, made me feel like I was jumping off the walls at a freak show. Meshuggah... Well... They gave me visions of a tormented futuristic world, one in which there is no humanity, just cold steel. This is one of the few Metal songs in which the fullest possibilities of the genere are fufilled. Meshuggah takes you to a place, a frightening place at that, but for some reason, you want to go back there again and again.I listen to Metal more than anything, and I'd have to say that these guys have composed the most original metal song ever. Even anything Black Sabbath did may not have been as original as this.

Excellent, but want more!

This CD recaptures some, but not all, of the punch and joy that I remember Seatrain delivering live in a small D.C. club, circa 1970. For more of both, I too would love to see Amazon prevail upon Capitol to re-press Seatrain's other self-titled classic featuring fiddle vituoso Greene on a dazzling "Little Sally Goodin / O.B.S." that will have you dancing in your seat.

Don't bother

This book is not for the person who has been out practicing law for several years. It is probably somewhat helpful for those who realize that practicing law is not for them either while in law school or shortly afterward, but there are better resources out there. The book consists of some introductory material which says that if you don't like law or cannot find a decent legal job, you are not a "loser," followed by a large collection of "sample" letters and resumes. You get the idea after one or two, but as this book really has nothing else to say, the many samples serve as redundant filler.

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relying on a glowing review from a famous talk show star's magazine, I decided to give this a try. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. This product turned my hair into a dry dull orange bush. Not only did it not provide shine, it did the polar opposite. Now I am growing out a rough orange mat of hair that was only made worse by trying to dye it natural black again with another product. I could not comb through my hair. It became fragile, wispy and prone to heavy duty breakage. Shine happy put a layer of dullness over my hair that lead to complete un-manageability. This product should be removed from the market.

not worth it

If you want a well made gauge, don't buy this one. Very cheap feel and looks, picture only looks good. Instruction say you can release tire pressure, but button at the bottom is only a fixed piece of plastic, it has no function at all. "SET Your Pressure" has no purpose, I assume it had something to with the pressure reading but it doesn't. Look for something else.

The Expendable Movie That Couldn't

Hey folks, I guess there is more beer being consumed during this picture to get such high stars. Guess a lot of people seeing this movie were already lit by the time California's former do-nothing Governor made his cheap "cameo appearance". Why the producers let this movie get passed the editing room is beyond me, but maybe they were a bit intoxicated too by this all-star LackLuster bomb. Another waste of Bruce Willis' talent for jokes. This would have made a thrill-ride comic blast, but I think it's the answer to America's insomnia problems. Arnold should do more movies, yes, to refund the taxpayers for the bridge he couldn't even finish!

DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND

Bought the Bell foot pump and noticed immediately the psi gauge fluctuated erratically and was unreliable. The foot pump literally disintegrated after a month's use, where I was forced to use nails and tape to prolong the use of a design built from extremely substandard parts and materials. I just replaced it with a Zefal pump which so far has worked beautifully and came with presto and schrader settings. The mangled Bell pump is in the trash can.

Solid Construction and Bumping Base

I purchased the V6s to use DJing. They definitely are worth every penny (I snagged them for $70). The low end is solid and the set beats my grado SR60s for EDM, House, etc.The construction is also very solid with the cord reinforced at both the plug and left earpiece. Sound isolation from the pads seems to relatively effective but I haven't had the chance to use them in a loud environment or with a separate speaker set yet.The packaging included a bag to help protect the headphones which was a nice addition though I may try and find a container for extra security (I'm notoriously rough on my portable audio equipment).I plan to do a side by side review of SR60s vs. the V6s in the near future but my guess is that outside of bass driven genres the SR60s will provide a bit better listening experience. By the way, these headphones are extremely comfortable and despite my fat head I haven't noticed any discomfort due to tightness.

DVD The Vikings

I would highly recommend this movie "The Vikings" if you like old movies. First of all it stars Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, and Janet Leigh when they were young and beautiful! This movie has drama, romance, action, humor, etc. The story line is very interesting, and there is a lot of Nordic mythology. The commentary by directory shows the research they put into the making of the movie to be sure that the setting was authentic in its presentation The music is very beautiful and really enhances the movie. I was only able to find this old movie, "The Vikings" through Amazon.com and it was in excellent condition. Search under movies or all products on Amazon.com and put in "dvd The Vikings".The Vikings

Not a childrens' portrayal of the Christmas story ...

Do not assume, just because Legos are involved, that this is a book to share with young children. The Holy Ghost is a frightening character, circumcision is accomplished with a knife the size of the infant Jesus, and the illustration of Herod's order to slaughter all male infants less than two years of age is complete with decapitated infants in the background! Both frightening and disappointing!

Gong Li -- The Bette Davis of Chinese film

A typical US ganster plot, with a twist and growth of character. Gong Li is not only beautiful but one of the most talented actresses of our times. Viewers must compare her role in this film to "To Live" and "The Chinese Box" to realize the full range of her talent. Like the legends of Hollywood, this woman doesn't need to show any skin, because she just simply "oozes sexy".

Love these shoes! This is my second pair and I am going to rotate them with my others. Have been running in them for ~ 1 year and have had no problems. I previously had a stress fracture from running and these were the only shoes I could run in and not hurt. Now I just run in them because I love them.

The best novel I have read in a long while!

This was my first Lynn Hightower novel. Believe me when I tell you that it definetly has not been my only! This novel grips you from the first few chapters and doesn't let go until the very end! The plot is simple but very interesting! I read this book int two days, which is amazing considering I work full time, attend night classes and have a toddler at home! I highly recommend this novel to anyone that loves mysteries!!!!

Not an adequate or satisfying introduction/technical manual.

After reading this book in one short sitting, I am unsure as to why the author wrote it. The book basically describes a step-by-step process of Kyudo with several anecdotes sprinkled here and there. The reader is provided with many technical details, but is left confused from the lack of a fluid overview of the subject matter. The few illustrations that do exist provided very little descriptive aid to the text. Noticeable aspects of the book are its tone and language. The writing style is both cumbersome and reminiscent of a 1940's technical manual. The author also assumes that the reader knows very little of the Japanese culture and beliefs. While this is not a fault, it is an ineffective assumption for such a short book. I assumed that the book was meant to be an introduction to Kyudo. In this regard, the book failed to accomplish its goal, leaving anyone interested in Kyudo to search for a more substantial and clear text.

Good for the price, but can't go very loud

I like it because it was cheaper than a lot of other products, but one thing I wish it had was a remote, and if I put the volume all the way up, there is some vibration. And it really can't go super loud, even though it's loud enough for me when I'm in the house, it's just not going to be shaking the house! I was considering sending it back when I realized this, but for the money, it seems good enough so I decided to keep it. I hope to find one that can be louder and have a remote though.

Definitely worth a read!

But drat the book anyway. My first day of vacation and I think, "I'll just read the first chapter over breakfast." I mean, I had things to DO on my vacation. And instead I'm glued to the book all morning. Five kleenexes gone. And five stars, too. I almost never give out five stars any more!Very enjoyable, lovely characters and the heroine is "reubenesque." Thank you, Ms. Fox! Good situation, tight plot, very welcome bits of humor. My only wish would be that there would have been maybe two less touchy-erotic scenes in the first half. Other than that, the relationship was electrical and the book kept me guessing about possible endings.This is the first romance book that I thought I'd like to see made into a TV movie, if only so lots of other people would get to enjoy it, too. I very much look forward to the next fantasy romance book due out, what, this fall?, from Ms. Fox.

Top notch

The previous reviewer was right about the enchanting melodies and the traditional Japanese instruments adding greatly to this soundtrack. It is excellent. The end title is even better than the opening because there is a bit of a lead-in that adds to its beauty. The death of Aki is another sad and beautiful piece.

Terrible drive that will crash and lose your files repeatedly

Terrible. Absolutely terrible, specially considering how expensive it is. Behind a beautiful design and a solid aluminum construction hides a truly awful controllers, and even worse drives. Not to mention how slow and noisy it was.In my case, this drive crashed fatally several times, losing all the data in them. Terrible if you work for a living with your computer, and highly depend on it to survive. The third time it happened, I decided to sell it, second hand. Unfortunately, I was never able to sell my Lacie drive as the power input literally started burning, releasing a plume of smoke, and the smell of an electrical plastic burn permeated my office.If I learned something from this experience was to never buy Lacie. Ever. I should have learned my lesson the first time around, five years ago, when I bought a Lacie D2 that literally lasted me 1 month before it crashed and destroyed irreparably all my data. Now for good, never again.

Solid if unambitious

The Bottom Line:A much different film than many people feared it would be when they heard Oliver Stone was attached, World Trade Center is not great in scope or ambition but in telling the small story of John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno it is an unqualified success; 25 years from now when there have been many more films made about 9/11 this one may not be well-remembered, but it achieves what it sets out to do.3/4

A sobering view of the American educational system

This book was a real eye-opener, exposing the wretched conditions of inner-city schools in America. I think it should be required reading for every person in this country, because it is an issue that receives little if any attention. I would never have known how bad the system is for some cities without reading this book.Kozol is an appropriate author, detailing specific trips he has taken to inner city schools to directly observe the state of their schools in comparison to the affluent suburbs.My only critique is that after awhile, the stories all seem to sound the same, but it just emphasizes how widespread this problem is and that something must be done about it.

Unique and Friendly Approach to Designing Information

As a teacher of technical writing for many years, I've been looking for a book that gives the basics of how to organize and present information in a way that doesn't intimidate readers. This is the book! It is an easy read with a plethora of guidelines and practical suggestions so that even the novice can "do it." In addition, the author's warm and approachable tone makes this a fun and easy read. But it also presents a unique blending of information including how to do an audience analysis, adult learning theory for the information designer, basic page layout, color use guidelines and more. I am using it for my college Document and Information Design class, and the students love it!

Good for adult & puppy.

We have a one year old English Mastiff female & a 3 month old English Mastiff male puppy. They both love this toy. I have to say Pet Stages won me over after my mother gave me a few of their toys. I'm not a fan of bright colors, but the dogs just these things. All the toys seem to be designed & tested to keep them interested. My dogs love trying to pull the ropes out, chewing the blue firm but soft enough tube and playing tug-o-war with it.

Tsumaranai

I usually love things Japaneese but this novel was nothing to get excited about. It was too occidental in its sensibilities unlike the outstanding "Memoires of a Geisha" . There was no Japaneese vocabulary as in "Shogun". Exciting but "Rising Sun" was perhaps better, And there was only one example of kinky sex which is ubiquitous in "Mizu Shobai".
