1	Survival Handbook for New Australian Immigrants!	I truly enjoyed reading this book as I was able to learn the most essential aspects of living and working in Australia. This book features great advice on how to prepare yourself for the big move "Down Under", and what to expect from this new country. It also gives you a reality check on life in Australia as a new immigrant with all the challenges one must face. I really enjoyed the detailed list of "Aussie Real Estate Jargon" as I will need to refer to it when I will be looking for an apartment in Sydney. There are so many useful and practical information and advice in this book such as tips on how to find a job. This book has given me the confidence to move to Sydney as I feel prepareed and armed with the right information needed to make a good start Down Under. I have also read others books on "Living and Working in Australia", and this book is the best so far as it has the highest quality of content compared to the other ones.	positive
1	Great, useful, and easy-to-read book for all supervisors!!	This is one of the best books on leadership I have ever read. The author shows you how easy it is to learn the 15 skills necessary to lead people and manage organizations.There is little theory here, just the practical advise and training we need as supervisors.All corporations should distribute copies to your managers, and all aspiring successful leaders should buy this book---it is a deal!!	positive
1	Love it!	This is one of those rare cds that does not have a weak song on it. Honky tonk at its best! The songs are fun, I would love to see them live. At this moment its my favorite cd. If you like these guys, also check out Bill Kirchen.	positive
1	Fantastic if you can find it	How unfortunate it is that this book is out of print. Bert Stern is one of the greats of photography in the latter half of the 20th Century. This is the man that brought commercial photography to a new level, setting the standard for what could be done, and what would have to be matched by the rest of the industry. As a photographer myself, I have found his work in all forms, this book included, to be a major source of inspiration. I highly recommend this volume for anyone who can find a copy.	positive
0	Not in my worst nightmares...	I have hated textbooks before, but this one takes the cake. It is quite possibly the worst one that my professor could have chosen. The authors use such a wild mixture of mind-numbingly simple content and obscure, abstract concepts that the picture that they paint is, to put it bluntly, incoherent. They dance around the definition of vocabulary words, always coming close to defining stuff (but never actually coming out and saying it), contradict themselves repeatedly, and assume that the reader understands half the concepts before they are even introduced. Perhaps the most irritating thing about this text is the fact that there is no glossary to speak of--if the reader doesn't understand the sketchy definition in the chapter or chapter summary, too bad, because that's all you get! Steer clear of this book, if at all possible.	negative
1	Childhood favorite	This was an important book to me when I was a little girl growing up in Colorado. I couldn't tell you how many times I checked it out of the library to read and reread again. I even remember where it was -- second shelf from the end, three row up, reddish hardback cover.Over the years I'd forgotten the title, I just remembered that it was about a little Native American girl who climbed a tree and found another world in the sky. After a tedious search of my old towns online library (yay for modern internet searches) I found a title that rung a bell and won a copy on ebay!I'm so happy to have this book on my shelf now. Wonderful, wonderful story.	positive
1	Perfect Size	Let me preface my review by stating that I recently had shoulder surgery and ColPac has been a great source of pain relief!! I own several different sizes of the ColPacs. I have found this size to be perfect for all my needs. Because of the heaviness of the pack, you get a thorough icing of the area. The vinyl is soft yet extremely durable. I highly recommend any of the ColPac products.	positive
1	RoseArt Scented Markers	I purchased two sets of these markers; one for myself and the other for a child's gift. I used mine within my classroom and the students loved them. My only complaint is they don't last near as long as Mr. Sketch Markers. If you compare the prices of the two, this was still a bargain.	positive
1	Get IT, Read IT, and Enjoy IT!!	As a former Tank Commander in the Army, I can tell you that Charles hits the nail right on the head with his first book. The Army is a special world, especially in combat, and the author gives an accurate account of his experiences. He pulls no punches and lets no stone unturned. I would recommend this book for anyone in the military and especially in the Army. It is one of those rare books that once you start it, you won't want to put it down!! I look forward to more books by Charles Sheehan-Miles.	positive
1	This book is fantastic!!!	This book is non-stop laughs, and for those not politically inclined, it actually can be educational to a certain extent. Some of the reviewers insinuate the book is "left-wing" but I completely disagree. It skewers both sides quite equally, (though you can judge for yourself which side is more senstive to such)...if something is F'd up, they will call it out with great satire and humor. One more thing, if you didn't buy and actually read a book, don't review it!!!	positive
1	A must have	The blue-ray is simply magnificiant. There are a lot of shots that simply make you "Wow!", and you start wondering how the shots are made. A must have even if you are not a "nature" fan.	positive
0	Just doesn't make it....	I don't know why I buy these "Dummy" books. If you're a semi-literate computer user, it's not going to help much. If you're a neophite, then Goldmine probably isn't the program you should be using for contact management. Goldmine is powerful but complicated. To use it, a relationship with a consultant who knows the program inside an out is the way to go.I miss the old 3 inch thick "Que" books and wish there was a manual of that nature available for GM. This one only scratches the surface and that will leave you hanging. If you have an inclination to buy this book, look at ACT! or MS Outlook instead of Goldmine, or hire a Goldmine Certified Consultant.	negative
0	Poor Quality	For $[...] I expected much better quality. The thing fell apart after just over a year.	negative
0	Stealth political commentary	The first 80 pages were fine. I read with interest as the narrator, who now lives in Canada, recounted his boyhood in New Hampshire and his relationship with his too-small friend, Owen Meany. Then, out of nowhere, bam! -- a few paragraphs on why Ronald Reagan was so evil. Then a few pages later, a three-page diatribe on the immorality of the Vietnam War. Summary: If you're still living in the sixties, and enjoy Oliver Stone, this book may be for you. If your political views lie elsewhere, be forewarned.	negative
0	Had no effect on me	This product was recommended to me by a friend who said it was "God-inspired." I found that it has no effect on me. I am currently under a lot of stress, but the Rescue Remedy hasn't helped at all. Now, it works wonderfully for my friend, so I think it just depends on how individual bodies respond to it. For me it didn't work, but for someone else, it might. I guess you just have to try it out and see.	negative
0	Uncomfortable	The movie made me uncomfortable for the actors. I was embarrassed for them. Hemsworth and Stewart were just annoying and Charlize Theron forced an uncomfortable accent and uncomfortable dramatics. Where was Sean Bean? (Saw him in the credits - but didn't see him in the movie or what did I miss?) I would not call it the worst movie I've ever seen - but it could have been so much. Too much of a bad LOTR rip-off.	negative
1	Little Helper.....	This is a great supplement to your required Anatomy textbooks (which most likely reads like a dictionary.) Hence the word "supplement", doesn't replace your required text.	positive
1	good for organizing	I purchased this to help organize the pile of pens that normally sit in a mug on my desk. I works great and seems to be fairly well made. Now I can pull a pen out without accidentally knocking others to the floor. I would recommend this for someone who wanted a little more organization.	positive
0	Beautiful but empty	I love Helen Merrin but she was miscast in this version of Tennessee William's story. Although she looks fabulous for her age, she was too old to make us believe in the relationship. Vivian Leigh was just 41 or 42 when she starred with Warren Beatty in the original (which despite being dated is a better film) and while I agree that it is true that the character of the widowed Mrs Stone could be older, almost everything about this film feels false, flat and unimpressive. However, Anne Bancroft is FANTASTIC as the Italian Contessa and her performance alone is worth a viewing. The locations of the film are gorgeous and I am glad I watched it, but overall I found it a terribly missed opportunity to tell a very compelling, sexy, dark, mysterious story without the restraints and limitations that constrained the original version.	negative
0	Waste of trees!	Bill Gates pats himself on the back once again in this book. It sounds to me like he did very little of the writing in this book. The writing style does not match the style that is found in Bill's other books. In one sentence...Complete Microsoft advertisement!Save your money!	negative
0	MISSING FOOT COVER	Foot Covers on Only THREE LEGS. I've asked that the MISSING FOOT COVER BE SENT, BUT NO RESPONSE SO FAR...VERY DISAPPOINTING "SERVICE"	negative
0	Wii Tiger golf	Graphics are real grainny, poor quality gets old real quick. Needs work should be really cool in a couple of Versions. But now my guys dont even bother with it.	negative
1	Great concealer	I like this concealer for dark circles under my eyes. It goes on easily and provides good coverage. I use "Bare Minerals" make up and am able to apply it (it's like a powder) over the Total Camouflage and it never looks caked on or creased.	positive
0	1 star, and I'm an ID proponent	Well, I've read many ID titles including Behe, Denton and Johnson (I even got to hear Philip speak once) and I'd say there are better presentations than this one. I've wanted to read it for awhile since it was considered once for inclusion in some science curricula (I believe). If you choose to read it, read the chapters first and then go back and read the Intro. (or better yet, read the intro only and then pitch the book into the donation box as you'll have the gist)	negative
0	The "Secret" is how this author is successful	puh-leese!!! this book is only provocative for those easily provoked. McClaren introduces nothing new to those who are more informed than those who would find this book innovative. McClaren, obviously, was the goofy intellectual wannabee in college who sat around and took notes on what the intellectuals were saying, rewrote their stuff so that it made no coherent sense, and then presented it to a publisher who is all goo-goo over Davinci Code stuff. The only secret, here, is the punchline. The obvious joke is, of course, this book!	negative
1	Braun	Gotta have my coffee every morning and don't like to wait very long. If you don't use the auto timer so it's ready for you when you get up you can still get 10 cups of great coffee in about 7 minutes. It's not your $20 coffee maker though. I had one of those before I decided to step up to this Braun. The Gold filter and the Brita water filter combine to make one very smooth pot of coffee.	positive
1	GOD I LOVE THIS CD TOO!	I feel the same about this CD as I do about Putumayo's Cape Verde.. they are both WONDERFUL! I have TONS of world music and Putumayo, but as far as I am concerned, these are the two BEST! The Portuguese and African mixture of exotic rhythms, guitars, and primitive instruments creates a totally unique, celebratory music that has me dancing around the house and playing them OVER and OVER! They get better and better with each play. I don't know how I could have ever lived so long without ever hearing this before. I've GOT to visit Cape Verde and some of the other places listed.	positive
1	Delicious night time snack favorite	Perfection in every bite! And I know I don't have to worry about weird chemicals or compromising health issues.	positive
0	Stranger than fiction	Rice - National security Advisor on 9/11. The person, after the POTUS, most responsible for events of 9/11.Philip Zelikow - The Executive Director of the 9/11 commission. The person most responsible for its direction and findings not withstanding the airhead commissioners.Close friends, co-authors, business partners. How did they split the royalties? God forbid one might imagine a conspiracy!	negative
0	dont get this	rascal flatts is not country in my opinion. if this is where all of countrys goin then im not gonna listen to country anymore. i dont think this is worth your money	negative
0	Hardly any suction	It does not work very well. I found that the suction is not enough to do the job. The one I got from the hospital for my baby looks similar to the "Hospital's Choice Preemie Nasal Aspirator", and that works much better. On the pro/positive side, it is easier to clean.	negative
1	The best I've seen	This is beautiful, almost indestructible, moderately effective for keeping coffee/tea warm. It is not an extremely effective thermos because there is no insulation at the top, but it is way better than it would be without the double wall design. I also have their smaller version. The only catch for those of us who drink large cups of coffee/tea is that the 8 cups barely fills three coffee mugs. As long as this is okay this is a nearly perfect design.	positive
1	Spanish and English Dictionary	Very helpful for those trying to learn Spanish or English. Lots and lots of information and easy to understand definitions.	positive
0	Not for my Yorkies	My two Yorkies would literally jump out of this harness. When they would lunge on their leashes, the clip on the front would make them do somersaults - not something that is pleasant to see. Hopefully it works better on other dogs.	negative
0	jazz/folk good...soul/reggae weak	This guy is a very good vocalist and a fine guitarist but the CD is a mixed bag. About half of it is a unique blend of jazz and folk. If the whole CD was like that it would be a keeper. Unfortunately, the other half is a mix of slick soul and some bad attempts at reggae.	negative
1	Lots of fun!	This movie was fun to watch. It had great action and exciting stunts. Bruce Willis is amazing and awe inspiring.	positive
1	apple a day	Although the FDA does it's best to tell you that echinacea is nothing more than a placebo, I beg to differ. The all natural ingredients in this product help to strengthen the immune system. The time to take this is just as you feel something coming on. Once you are full on sick, it is too late, but if caught early on, you will avoid the misery of a potential 2 week illness. I didn't believe it either and tried it only at my Aunt's urging. Damned if it didn't work and I've taken it ever since.	positive
0	VERY DISAPPOINTING	I'M ONE OF THE BIGGEST PRINCE OR ARTIST FAN THERE IS .. BUT THIS ALBUM WAS LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE .. IT SEEMS AFTER PURPLE RAIN HE HAS RELEASE A LOT OF GARBAGE.. BEFORE HE'S TRULY BEST ALBUMS IN A LONG TIME .. NAMELY SIGN OF THE TIMES, DIAMONDS AND PEARLS AND EMANCIPATION...THERE ARE ONLY A FEW CUTS HERE EVEN WORTH THE TIME TO LISTEN TO KISS, ANOTHERLOVERLIKE A HOLEIN YOUR HEAD, MOUNTAIN .. THE REST IS PURE TRASH.. AS WELL AS THE MOVIE	negative
0	compilation of earlier work but not much else	The problem here is that almost everything in the book they have already published elsewhere, and thus only is a slight updating of earlier results. It is nice to have them altogether in one source, but the underlying methodology is so questionable as to render it not worthwhile.The empirical tests to distinguish between various models of political business cycles and partisan theory have been justly criticized. The authors could have made an important contribution by altering their work to properly incorporate the critics, but instead simply restate the problems, pay a little lip service to the issues, and then proceed to ignore them without proper justification.	negative
0	Odious thriller	Englishman John Hannay stumbles upon a plot to assassinate the Balkan consul and must evade enemy agents until he can alert the authorities. I have not seen the classic thriller that Alfred Hitchcock made from this material, but he obviously found something in it that I cannot. The prose is serviceable, but the plotting is atrocious; Hannay always finds just what he needs to get out of any scrape. Surrounded on the moors with no cover in sight? No problem! Here's a Scotsman working on the road who would rather be home recovering from a hangover. And his clothes fit, too! Next challenge, please!The alcoholic Scotsman also exemplifies another vice of this story, author John Buchan's unfortunate propagation of racism and offensive stereotypes. A number of gratuitously nasty remarks about Jews pop up here and there apropos of nothing. This sprinkling of odious little surprises throughout the narrative makes for an unpleasant reading experience.	negative
1	Bye this CD is it a hit-maker	I love puff daddys forever because he is the king of music bye this CD and you will love it.	positive
0	Jagged Little Swill	This album confirmed all of my worst suspicions about Alanis Morissette. Jagged Little Pill was a landmark not only for Alanis, but for millions upon millions of other people. What she wants to consider a commemoration is more like a travesty. The vocals are downright awful here, not giving the listener any indication of emotion. Alanis has taken a masterpiece and dragged it through the mud. I was a tremendous fan of Alanis Morissette even as millions of others deserted her over the years, but this has pushed me past my threshold. Shame on her for desecrating something so beautiful for the sake of money.	negative
1	Shining Star	The Alan Webb story is an intriguing one. He flashed on the running scene and broke Jim Ryun's high school mile record. Those of us in Michigan were excited by his arrival at U of M. But after one year he's gone. Lear does an excellent job of telling the tale of that year. Webb's intensity, immaturity and lack of patience come through loud and clear even though Lear does an excellent job of presenting both sides of the arguement. This one does not quite measure up to "Running with the Buffaloes" but that is a classic. Great, quick read if you are a runner or a fan of the sport.	positive
1	Good results...	I took the advice from other reviewers and bought a box of 4x6" HP Premium photo paper. The pictures I get out of my HP D7560 look great and I'm glad I purchased this paper. Highly recommend this paper....	positive
0	Worst sheets, do not buy	These sheets are extremely rough. I would not pay even $30 for them. The color is nice but I have washed them 2 times and they still feel horrible.	negative
1	An out of print, difficult book to find	An older book but in good shape as advertised, minor yellowing of pages and drying of glue. Fast delivery. No complaints.	positive
1	great music	I love the LOTR music, and these books (I have all 3) are great. The music is above beginner level, but not impossible to play.	positive
0	Quantity?? How many??	You see all of those manicure sticks?? How many do you think you will get? A pack of them? It doesn't say. I will let you in on the secret...you get four (4). Four sticks wrapped in bubble wrap and put into a small envelope.	negative
0	For the money	it can't be beat. However, as another reviewer mentioned, the thumb is too large and doesn't fit ball joints with longer threads. The fork also broke after a few uses, so this really isn't a quality alternative to the pricier option. This should be fine if you're doing a couple ball joints. But for frequent use, pay the extra money and get something that'll last.	negative
0	Miserable	This is the worst Joe Cocker video I've ever had the misfortune to look at. He ( Joe) is visable drunk and having a very bad gig.....do not waste your time and hard earned money.	negative
1	Excellent notebook light	Excellent bright light accessory for notebook. Exactly what I wanted. Exactly as described. Arrived fast and in perfect condition. I would recommend it to others.	positive
0	Blast Away	I bought this video in hopes of getting a easy to follow video that would help me feel good with daily exercise without a lot of hassle. Much to my surprise, this video was extremely frustrating-it was very hard to follow the instructor and anticipate what was about to happen next. Half the time, I stood there watching the video wondering where she was and where it was going. This in light of the fact that I am not a novice at aerobics and even a former ballet dancer,I couldn't even keep up. It bummed me out-and after the third try-I gave up. A big dissapointment it was. Not to mention that all the hollering during it is extremely annoying. I tried, but in the mail it goes for a return.	negative
1	The most amazing ablum i have bought this year	Taking Back Sunday's, tell all your friends is by far the best album that i have bought. With its blend of Punk/Emotion this album comes out on top. This is the bands only releas besindes a 5 song demo. The lead singer,Adam Lazzara, is a perfect fit for the bands enegry. The amazing lyrics and songs that are a quencer to fans of bands like thursday and dashboard confessional. I highly recomend this album to anyone who likes punk or emo.	positive
1	Wonderful Musical Journey	For Lack of Better Words is a tremendous effort by the Liam Teague - Robert Chappell duo. I've been a music lover my entire life, with tastes running from classical to rock to jazz to world. This CD covers several musical styles, and at the highest level I might add - these guys can really play!! I suspect there are many music lovers out there who are not very familiar with the possibilities on steel pan, or for that matter, of a duo such as this. This recording is a great addition to anybody's CD collection.	positive
0	This book is ghastly.	This book is ghastly. I gave it NO stars. We'll see if that flies. The book has weird religious overtones that you'd never suspect from the title and so many editorial errors it's hard to imagine how it ever made it to print. It is simply ghastly. Just horrible. I have resold it as Used and actually feel a little guilty for doing so. Like I intentionally and knowingly passed on an upper respiratory virus. Not a good book at all.	negative
1	Very relaxing	This was a great video for relaxing and stretching out stiff muscles. I have fibromyalgia and it is very difficult to find yoga videos that help when you are really stiff, sore and hurting. This video is great for that purpose and I would recommend it for others who have fibromyalgia.	positive
1	Liza's first big gig	This was Liza's NYC theater debut in 1963. It also featured Christopher Walken. The CD is a lot of fun, especially for Liza buffs.	positive
0	Translation... My god.	Having read a good dozen of Natsume Soseki's books, I can assure you that not liking this one based purely off Soseki's merit isn't possible. Every book I've read by the author so far has left me in awe, and so when I ordered the Three-Cornered World I expected yet another amazing Soseki read. How disappointing. I thoroughly believe my hatred for this book stems from the translator and not Natsume Soseki. I really wasn't impressed by Alan Turney. He was redundant and made overall interesting topics into long-winded, arbitrary ones. He's just not a good writer. And so I have to sadly give this book a 1. Giving up on page 97, I really just couldn't take it anymore. I wouldn't recommend getting this copy of the book. If there are any other translations out there, I urge you to try and obtain one of those instead.	negative
1	Eye-opener	Helps to change the way we traditionally view missions in todays church society. Brings out details commonly omitted in today's church.	positive
1	3.5 Stars	I give this CD 3.5 stars because it's decent. This sin't their best CD, but still better than all that crappy pop-punk bullcrap MTV plays. Here is a song rating:1. Indestructible 5/52. Fall Back Down 5/53. Red Hot Moon 3/54. David Courtney 5/55. Start Now 5/56. Out of Control 4/57. Django 3/58. Arrested in Shanghai 3/59. Travis Bickle 4/510. Memphis 3/511. Spirit of '87 4/512. Ghost Band 5/513. Tropical London 3.5/514. Roadblock 4/515. Born Frustrated 4/516. Back Up Against the Wall 3/517. Ivory Coast 3/518. Stand Your Ground 4/519. Otherside 5/5Bottom line: Although a decent CD, it's a mixed bag. Buy it if you like punk, alt. rock, or are a huge fan of Rancid.	positive
0	Kabuki Theatre 2000	This movie was the same only a plot was added to a Saturday morning showing of Kabuki Theatre. The plot is weak at best, the acting (in any language) really comes up short. Visually and musically the movie was great, but the ridiculous flying was annoying to watch. The fighting was decent (if you like Kung-Fu), and the end was very predictable. The Oscars award foreign films, and CRouching certainly takes the cake, but the Best Picture....puh-leaze!	negative
1	Love these!	These bars are excellent. They taste wonderful. Smooth chocolate and delicious coconut flavor. I will buy these again!You will not be disappointed!	positive
0	Dingo Bone Products	We have an aussie-german shepherd mix and he does NOT tolerate this product at all. He loved it, but it gave him a very bad case of diarrhea and he needed medical treatment several days after eating the"dingo" brand product. I don't recommend this product or any "Dingo" product to anyone who has a dog with a senstive stomach AND it should state this on the label.	negative
0	Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!	After reading this book, I couldn't help but feel a little like Ralphie, in the movie "A Christmas Story". After waiting months to get my secret decoder ring, all I got was a "crummy commercial". Be sure to read book nine!	negative
1	Great children's music!	This CD is a great addition to any collection of children's music. I was intrigued by the title because I like country music and we have a sizeable collection of Raffi music. It is even better than I anticipated. As much as his songs are enjoyable, listening to Raffi's syrupy voice can get to be too much. This CD is the best of all possible worlds: Raffi songs sung by other musicians. Plus, there were wonderful selections I had not previously heard (five stars for the first number by Asleep at the Wheel).	positive
1	All does it "All"	I love never having to go to Costco again! Having these heavy products delivered to my front door is worth the money. Plus, the containers are smaller and easier to manage. Oh yes, it cleans the clothes and smells great.	positive
1	Great movie and I was in it!!	I was in high school when I was an extra in the movie. There was a huge delay between when the movie was shot and when it was released like 2 years or so. It was a great experience to be in the movie. and when i saw it. I loved the storyline. I love to see areas in portland that were in the movie. The seen when the girl was leaving for new york(bus stop) is a small corner store shop in the st. johns section of portland oregon. There was also a seen where we were at a prom but that seen never made the cut. I ended up being seen only at the end of the movie. Im the only black guy playing onstage. I was playing a clarinet.	positive
1	Great book ! Unseen pictures !	It is a great book !Although I am not a "Kennedy fan", I have to admit these pictures are awsome. Over 300 pages of dream, glamour, fashion, history & photography.It is not a political testimony, just a tribute to one of the most famous icons ever.My advice ? THE perfect Xmast gift!!	positive
0	Too Bad	You know when I heard their cd I thought that they might actually be good enough to really make it. This DVD was a disapointment. Puberty has taken it's toll on the group. They can't even sing their songs. The other thing is you can't see any real comradery between the members. There is something between Greg and Chris, but that's all. Seeing them LIVE after seeing Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, Dream Street seems like a bad immitation.	negative
1	Holy Batman has gone Blu	I will spare everyone the movie reviews of the movies in this set , because frankly i think you have had to at least seen one or two movies in this set at some point. It's 2010 and these movies are old. With that being said the first two are the best and the last two are just ok. But the High def collection as a whole is great , because the picture quality and the audio quality on all four films is really good. And that is the reason your buying this set on blu-ray in the first place. Right! In this collection is Tim Burton Batman 89 and Batman returns and Joel Schumacher Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. This collection is filled to the brink with Special Features. Including Audio commentary , behind the scenes , trailers and other great amazing features. Do you love batman , did you enjoy the films in this set and do you want the best picture and audio available on any format. If the answer is yes , then what are you doing reading this. Click Add and Buy.	positive
1	A Pretty Good Read, if You don't Know Much about Religion.	I was aware of most of the information presented in the book, but I've had protestant friends that I was able to converse with about religion. I liked the fact that there was new understanding on both of the author's parts, and they each have individual views about their respective religion. Many critics claim that neither author is a great representative for their faiths, but I disagree. There is room for variations in individual beliefs within both belief systems. I disagreed with the LDS author about the Bible, but I mostly agreed with him. I do focus a lot on grace like he did... LDS people believe that Jesus' atonement IS the gospel. I think a lot of LDS people focus on grace and talk a lot about mercy. The divide isn't as wide as many think. Those who disagree probably have personal issues to work out and just need someone to hate/argue with.	positive
1	Star wars needs a review?	The best of the prequels. I finally realize that Obi-One is the greatest of the Jedi. He beats everyone.	positive
1	Pretty good Pokemon Game	this product came in its original packing which was nice...also, it arrived on time. My son and daughter (7 & 10) enjoyed BEING the Pokemon in this game.	positive
0	I Agree With Why Do I Bother	Expecting the great Calder saga that came alive in her first three books, it is so disappointing to see the way Janet Dailey is now writing. I bought her first book over 25 years ago when it was released. This Calder edition has another beloved character killed and not even mentioning some of the family. It's hard to get a close feeling to the new characters because we miss the old ones too much!!!	negative
0	Moroso 74103 Battery Terminal Disconnect Switch	This product was advertised as fitting a Toyota Prius battery. It did not fit on the battery terminals (connections too large) and was unusable.	negative
0	BEWARE: AMAZON SHIPS TENNYSON INSTEAD OF BARONESS PATTERN	While the box was labeled correctly, i.e., "Royal Doulton Baroness" the item enclosed was the "Tennyson" pattern. I've noticed other customer reviews involving purchase of Royal Daulton from Amazon with similar problems so what I experienced is a recurring problem. Some customers also relate that when they return the item for an "exchange" the replacement item is also the wrong pattern. Obtaining a refund requires a telephone call to customer service and also requires that you take the item to the U.S. Post Office. Since this is an Amazon mistake you would expect they would pick the item up at the shipping location, but that is not the case. Royal Doulton has outlet stores which ship items for free, don't charge sales tax and whose prices and customer service are superior to Amazon.	negative
0	Just another 'regular' Forgotten Realms novel	The book starts out OK. Volo gets stuck with a lazy travelling companion and he is thrown into a world tour adventure that promises all kinds of action in the different cultures and climates of Toril. But although the adventurers travel through all sorts of places the author moves too fast and does a poor job of using the rich variety of cultures that we all know FR has. The author then tries to keep the reader interested throwing at him many well known FR heroes to help out Volo and his friends.Volo himslef is well depicted in the book. But the travelling companions were not a good supporting cast. The special appearences by the FR heroes leave an even worse impression.	negative
1	HAHA I bought this for 13 dollars	Great metal but since its a cover album you can't really call it gore metal...considering Led Zeppelin didn't talk about dismembering prostitutes...and neither did the Cure. Aside from that this is great considering Exhumed puts an interesting twist on the songs, as i've said the Cure wasn't death metal. Reccomended for a fan of the band or death metal.	positive

I have both CD's Diana and Fantasia, my thought..both are good but I like Diana's better..Diana's voice is more powerful and sweet to listen too.Different styles, but both girls will really go far..best of luck to both of you..and for those who keep on bashing these girls..I think you're all need to grow up! It takes a lot of hard work, extra efford days after days nights after nights to be on AI (and I don't think you "the basher" have any gut to do that), they work very hard for what they believe in and to be where they are today and we should be proud of them. Each of us have our own preferences nothing wrong with that..but it's really wrong to bashed them with all of your unkind words...so give it up and enjoy the music.	positive
1	80's camp and Anchor Bay wins again	Before it was rereleased on DVD, I had all but forgotten this movie. As a child, it kept me enthralled, and as an adult, it still has all the fun of a true 80's camp masterpiece. There were many of them in those days, and I'm glad that companies like Anchor Bay are still willing to invest in rereleasing cult films.The Pirate Movie is loosely based on The Pirates Of Penzance, but don't think you'll find much similarity aside from general plot here. Taking place in some odd dream sequence, Kristy McNichol's character wishes to marry before her older sisters despite family custom. When she meets an x-pirate and is determined to marry him, all sorts of odd adventures and cheesy swashbuckling mayhem ensue in between bouts of raunchy humor and hilarious pop songs. The sexual humor is abundant, or even extreme at some times, but it's all in good fun.Don't miss the Python-esque battle sequences in the climax. Pure classic!	positive
1	Thorn is a Mary Sue/Marty Stue and a bit of a jerkass	This is a great book, though I often found Thorn to be uncaring and self-centered. He/she is more of an anti-hero than Aztec's Mixtli, and harder to sympathize with at times. There is good reason for this. Overall the story is a good one, and fascinating.	positive
0	An embarrassing effort and the last Card I'll ever read.	It takes a lot to make me throw away a several hundred page book with a few dozen pages left to read, but Card pulled it off. In truth, I knew that I was in for a slog early on as the Princeton grad students and the putatively "brilliant" history professor, Torrent , engaged in the kind of intellectual discourse you might over hear at a TGI Fridays next door to a community college. I stuck it out through all of the stilted, corny dialogue and simplistic political "analysis" hoping to find that the spectacularly implausible Progressive Restoration (replete with hover bikes and robotech walkers) was a ruse. NOT MUCH OF A SPOILER It isn't.I find it amazing that this is the same guy who wrote Speaker For the Dead.	negative

I placed it 2 feet away from me and barely noticed a thing even after turning it up to the max setting. The heat comes out of the top and does little for warming my feet. The unit is not that tall so this surprised me.I tried putting it within inches from me, knowing this was unsafe, but it didn't help warm those few inched around me. Also, the top of the unit gets very hot even when placed a feet feet from anything around it. You would need to be careful with pets or small kids around.After trying different settings, running it for hours and moving it closer to me, I gave up. Nothing I did helped the unit provide relief from a mild chill in the air.	negative

I read some of the reviews and the comments are consistently favorable of the visuals even if they did not like the movie.

The plot(?) is telegraphed within the first couple of chapters. There are virtually no suprises in the whole book, except for the fact that there are no suprises. Character developement is shallow, superficial and meaningless. Rotten Read! I will have to pause before reading "The Testament" which I have available.	negative
1	Songs in Ordinary Time	A fascinating story about a poor and lonely woman who tried to raise 3 kids with an alcoholic husband. It described her pain and frustration very realistically living in a small town... The plot was amazing, taking the reader through a forbidden romance and a crime as well as other family mishaps. McGarry Morris painted an overall sense of urgency and hopelessness that made you feel sorry for the characters. My favorite part was when Marie Fermoyle decided to take control of her life and sell soap powder for a living.I was easily pulled into the plot and I had trouble putting it down until I got to the end!	positive

Survival Handbook for New Australian Immigrants!

I truly enjoyed reading this book as I was able to learn the most essential aspects of living and working in Australia. This book features great advice on how to prepare yourself for the big move "Down Under", and what to expect from this new country. It also gives you a reality check on life in Australia as a new immigrant with all the challenges one must face. I really enjoyed the detailed list of "Aussie Real Estate Jargon" as I will need to refer to it when I will be looking for an apartment in Sydney. There are so many useful and practical information and advice in this book such as tips on how to find a job. This book has given me the confidence to move to Sydney as I feel prepareed and armed with the right information needed to make a good start Down Under. I have also read others books on "Living and Working in Australia", and this book is the best so far as it has the highest quality of content compared to the other ones.

Fantastic if you can find it

How unfortunate it is that this book is out of print. Bert Stern is one of the greats of photography in the latter half of the 20th Century. This is the man that brought commercial photography to a new level, setting the standard for what could be done, and what would have to be matched by the rest of the industry. As a photographer myself, I have found his work in all forms, this book included, to be a major source of inspiration. I highly recommend this volume for anyone who can find a copy.

Not in my worst nightmares...

I have hated textbooks before, but this one takes the cake. It is quite possibly the worst one that my professor could have chosen. The authors use such a wild mixture of mind-numbingly simple content and obscure, abstract concepts that the picture that they paint is, to put it bluntly, incoherent. They dance around the definition of vocabulary words, always coming close to defining stuff (but never actually coming out and *saying it*), contradict themselves repeatedly, and assume that the reader understands half the concepts before they are even introduced. Perhaps the most irritating thing about this text is the fact that there is *no* glossary to speak of--if the reader doesn't understand the sketchy definition in the chapter or chapter summary, too bad, because that's all you get! Steer clear of this book, if at all possible.

Childhood favorite

This was an important book to me when I was a little girl growing up in Colorado. I couldn't tell you how many times I checked it out of the library to read and reread again. I even remember where it was -- second shelf from the end, three row up, reddish hardback cover.Over the years I'd forgotten the title, I just remembered that it was about a little Native American girl who climbed a tree and found another world in the sky. After a tedious search of my old towns online library (yay for modern internet searches) I found a title that rung a bell and won a copy on ebay!I'm so happy to have this book on my shelf now. Wonderful, wonderful story.

Perfect Size

Let me preface my review by stating that I recently had shoulder surgery and ColPac has been a great source of pain relief!! I own several different sizes of the ColPacs. I have found this size to be perfect for all my needs. Because of the heaviness of the pack, you get a thorough icing of the area. The vinyl is soft yet extremely durable. I highly recommend any of the ColPac products.

Get IT, Read IT, and Enjoy IT!!

As a former Tank Commander in the Army, I can tell you that Charles hits the nail right on the head with his first book. The Army is a special world, especially in combat, and the author gives an accurate account of his experiences. He pulls no punches and lets no stone unturned. I would recommend this book for anyone in the military and especially in the Army. It is one of those rare books that once you start it, you won't want to put it down!! I look forward to more books by Charles Sheehan-Miles.

This book is fantastic!!!

This book is non-stop laughs, and for those not politically inclined, it actually can be educational to a certain extent. Some of the reviewers insinuate the book is "left-wing" but I completely disagree. It skewers both sides quite equally, (though you can judge for yourself which side is more senstive to such)...if something is F'd up, they will call it out with great satire and humor. One more thing, if you didn't buy and actually read a book, don't review it!!!

Just doesn't make it....

I don't know why I buy these "Dummy" books. If you're a semi-literate computer user, it's not going to help much. If you're a neophite, then Goldmine probably isn't the program you should be using for contact management. Goldmine is powerful but complicated. To use it, a relationship with a consultant who knows the program inside an out is the way to go.I miss the old 3 inch thick "Que" books and wish there was a manual of that nature available for GM. This one only scratches the surface and that will leave you hanging. If you have an inclination to buy this book, look at ACT! or MS Outlook instead of Goldmine, or hire a Goldmine Certified Consultant.

Stealth political commentary

The first 80 pages were fine. I read with interest as the narrator, who now lives in Canada, recounted his boyhood in New Hampshire and his relationship with his too-small friend, Owen Meany. Then, out of nowhere, bam! -- a few paragraphs on why Ronald Reagan was so evil. Then a few pages later, a three-page diatribe on the immorality of the Vietnam War. Summary: If you're still living in the sixties, and enjoy Oliver Stone, this book may be for you. If your political views lie elsewhere, be forewarned.

Had no effect on me

This product was recommended to me by a friend who said it was "God-inspired." I found that it has no effect on me. I am currently under a lot of stress, but the Rescue Remedy hasn't helped at all. Now, it works wonderfully for my friend, so I think it just depends on how individual bodies respond to it. For me it didn't work, but for someone else, it might. I guess you just have to try it out and see.

Uncomfortable

The movie made me uncomfortable for the actors. I was embarrassed for them. Hemsworth and Stewart were just annoying and Charlize Theron forced an uncomfortable accent and uncomfortable dramatics. Where was Sean Bean? (Saw him in the credits - but didn't see him in the movie or what did I miss?) I would not call it the worst movie I've ever seen - but it could have been so much. Too much of a bad LOTR rip-off.

Beautiful but empty

I love Helen Merrin but she was miscast in this version of Tennessee William's story. Although she looks fabulous for her age, she was too old to make us believe in the relationship. Vivian Leigh was just 41 or 42 when she starred with Warren Beatty in the original (which despite being dated is a better film) and while I agree that it is true that the character of the widowed Mrs Stone could be older, almost everything about this film feels false, flat and unimpressive. However, Anne Bancroft is FANTASTIC as the Italian Contessa and her performance alone is worth a viewing. The locations of the film are gorgeous and I am glad I watched it, but overall I found it a terribly missed opportunity to tell a very compelling, sexy, dark, mysterious story without the restraints and limitations that constrained the original version.

The "Secret" is how this author is successful

puh-leese!!! this book is only provocative for those easily provoked. McClaren introduces nothing new to those who are more informed than those who would find this book innovative. McClaren, obviously, was the goofy intellectual wannabee in college who sat around and took notes on what the intellectuals were saying, rewrote their stuff so that it made no coherent sense, and then presented it to a publisher who is all goo-goo over Davinci Code stuff. The only secret, here, is the punchline. The obvious joke is, of course, this book!

The Portuguese and African mixture of exotic rhythms, guitars, and primitive instruments creates a totally unique, celebratory music that has me dancing around the house and playing them OVER and OVER! They get better and better with each play. I don't know how I could have ever lived so long without ever hearing this before. I've GOT to visit Cape Verde and some of the other places listed.

This is beautiful, almost indestructible, moderately effective for keeping coffee/tea warm. It is not an extremely effective thermos because there is no insulation at the top, but it is way better than it would be without the double wall design. I also have their smaller version. The only catch for those of us who drink large cups of coffee/tea is that the 8 cups barely fills three coffee mugs. As long as this is okay this is a nearly perfect design.

compilation of earlier work but not much else

The problem here is that almost everything in the book they have already published elsewhere, and thus only is a slight updating of earlier results. It is nice to have them altogether in one source, but the underlying methodology is so questionable as to render it not worthwhile.The empirical tests to distinguish between various models of political business cycles and partisan theory have been justly criticized. The authors could have made an important contribution by altering their work to properly incorporate the critics, but instead simply restate the problems, pay a little lip service to the issues, and then proceed to ignore them without proper justification.

Odious thriller

Englishman John Hannay stumbles upon a plot to assassinate the Balkan consul and must evade enemy agents until he can alert the authorities. I have not seen the classic thriller that Alfred Hitchcock made from this material, but he obviously found something in it that I cannot. The prose is serviceable, but the plotting is atrocious; Hannay always finds just what he needs to get out of any scrape. Surrounded on the moors with no cover in sight? No problem! Here's a Scotsman working on the road who would rather be home recovering from a hangover. And his clothes fit, too! Next challenge, please!The alcoholic Scotsman also exemplifies another vice of this story, author John Buchan's unfortunate propagation of racism and offensive stereotypes. A number of gratuitously nasty remarks about Jews pop up here and there apropos of nothing. This sprinkling of odious little surprises throughout the narrative makes for an unpleasant reading experience.

Jagged Little Swill

This album confirmed all of my worst suspicions about Alanis Morissette. Jagged Little Pill was a landmark not only for Alanis, but for millions upon millions of other people. What she wants to consider a commemoration is more like a travesty. The vocals are downright awful here, not giving the listener any indication of emotion. Alanis has taken a masterpiece and dragged it through the mud. I was a tremendous fan of Alanis Morissette even as millions of others deserted her over the years, but this has pushed me past my threshold. Shame on her for desecrating something so beautiful for the sake of money.

Shining Star

The Alan Webb story is an intriguing one. He flashed on the running scene and broke Jim Ryun's high school mile record. Those of us in Michigan were excited by his arrival at U of M. But after one year he's gone. Lear does an excellent job of telling the tale of that year. Webb's intensity, immaturity and lack of patience come through loud and clear even though Lear does an excellent job of presenting both sides of the arguement. This one does not quite measure up to "Running with the Buffaloes" but that is a classic. Great, quick read if you are a runner or a fan of the sport.

it can't be beat. However, as another reviewer mentioned, the thumb is too large and doesn't fit ball joints with longer threads.

I bought this video in hopes of getting a easy to follow video that would help me feel good with daily exercise without a lot of hassle. Much to my surprise, this video was extremely frustrating-it was very hard to follow the instructor and anticipate what was about to happen next. Half the time, I stood there watching the video wondering where she was and where it was going. This in light of the fact that I am not a novice at aerobics and even a former ballet dancer,I couldn't even keep up. It bummed me out-and after the third try-I gave up. A big dissapointment it was. Not to mention that all the hollering during it is extremely annoying. I tried, but in the mail it goes for a return.

For Lack of Better Words is a tremendous effort by the Liam Teague - Robert Chappell duo. I've been a music lover my entire life, with tastes running from classical to rock to jazz to world. This CD covers several musical styles, and at the highest level I might add - these guys can really play!! I suspect there are many music lovers out there who are not very familiar with the possibilities on steel pan, or for that matter, of a duo such as this. This recording is a great addition to anybody's CD collection.

This book is ghastly.

This book is ghastly. I gave it NO stars. We'll see if that flies. The book has weird religious overtones that you'd never suspect from the title and so many editorial errors it's hard to imagine how it ever made it to print. It is simply ghastly. Just horrible. I have resold it as Used and actually feel a little guilty for doing so. Like I intentionally and knowingly passed on an upper respiratory virus. Not a good book at all.

Very relaxing

This was a great video for relaxing and stretching out stiff muscles. I have fibromyalgia and it is very difficult to find yoga videos that help when you are really stiff, sore and hurting. This video is great for that purpose and I would recommend it for others who have fibromyalgia.

Liza's first big gig

This was Liza's NYC theater debut in 1963. It also featured Christopher Walken. The CD is a lot of fun, especially for Liza buffs.

Translation... My god.

Having read a good dozen of Natsume Soseki's books, I can assure you that not liking this one based purely off Soseki's merit isn't possible. Every book I've read by the author so far has left me in awe, and so when I ordered the Three-Cornered World I expected yet another amazing Soseki read. How disappointing. I thoroughly believe my hatred for this book stems from the translator and not Natsume Soseki. I really wasn't impressed by Alan Turney. He was redundant and made overall interesting topics into long-winded, arbitrary ones. He's just not a good writer. And so I have to sadly give this book a 1. Giving up on page 97, I really just couldn't take it anymore. I wouldn't recommend getting this copy of the book. If there are any other translations out there, I urge you to try and obtain one of those instead.

3.5 Stars

I give this CD 3.5 stars because it's decent. This sin't their best CD, but still better than all that crappy pop-punk bullcrap MTV plays. Here is a song rating:1. Indestructible 5/52. Fall Back Down 5/53. Red Hot Moon 3/54. David Courtney 5/55. Start Now 5/56. Out of Control 4/57. Django 3/58. Arrested in Shanghai 3/59. Travis Bickle 4/510. Memphis 3/511. Spirit of '87 4/512. Ghost Band 5/513. Tropical London 3.5/514. Roadblock 4/515. Born Frustrated 4/516. Back Up Against the Wall 3/517. Ivory Coast 3/518. Stand Your Ground 4/519. Otherside 5/5Bottom line: Although a decent CD, it's a mixed bag. Buy it if you like punk, alt. rock, or are a huge fan of Rancid.

Kabuki Theatre 2000

This movie was the same only a plot was added to a Saturday morning showing of Kabuki Theatre. The plot is weak at best, the acting (in any language) really comes up short. Visually and musically the movie was great, but the ridiculous flying was annoying to watch. The fighting was decent (if you like Kung-Fu), and the end was very predictable. The Oscars award foreign films, and CRouching certainly takes the cake, but the Best Picture....puh-leaze!

Dingo Bone Products

We have an aussie-german shepherd mix and he does NOT tolerate this product at all. He loved it, but it gave him a very bad case of diarrhea and he needed medical treatment several days after eating the"dingo" brand product. I don't recommend this product or any "Dingo" product to anyone who has a dog with a senstive stomach AND it should state this on the label.

Great children's music!

This CD is a great addition to any collection of children's music. I was intrigued by the title because I like country music and we have a sizeable collection of Raffi music. It is even better than I anticipated. As much as his songs are enjoyable, listening to Raffi's syrupy voice can get to be too much. This CD is the best of all possible worlds: Raffi songs sung by other musicians. Plus, there were wonderful selections I had not previously heard (five stars for the first number by Asleep at the Wheel).

Great movie and I was in it!!

I was in high school when I was an extra in the movie. There was a huge delay between when the movie was shot and when it was released like 2 years or so. It was a great experience to be in the movie. and when i saw it. I loved the storyline. I love to see areas in portland that were in the movie. The seen when the girl was leaving for new york(bus stop) is a small corner store shop in the st. johns section of portland oregon. There was also a seen where we were at a prom but that seen never made the cut. I ended up being seen only at the end of the movie. Im the only black guy playing onstage. I was playing a clarinet.

Great book ! Unseen pictures !

It is a great book !Although I am not a "Kennedy fan", I have to admit these pictures are awsome. Over 300 pages of dream, glamour, fashion, history & photography.It is not a political testimony, just a tribute to one of the most famous icons ever.My advice ? THE perfect Xmast gift!!

Too Bad

You know when I heard their cd I thought that they might actually be good enough to really make it. This DVD was a disapointment. Puberty has taken it's toll on the group. They can't even sing their songs. The other thing is you can't see any real comradery between the members. There is something between Greg and Chris, but that's all. Seeing them LIVE after seeing Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, Dream Street seems like a bad immitation.

Holy Batman has gone Blu

I will spare everyone the movie reviews of the movies in this set , because frankly i think you have had to at least seen one or two movies in this set at some point. It's 2010 and these movies are old. With that being said the first two are the best and the last two are just ok. But the High def collection as a whole is great , because the picture quality and the audio quality on all four films is really good. And that is the reason your buying this set on blu-ray in the first place. Right! In this collection is Tim Burton Batman 89 and Batman returns and Joel Schumacher Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. This collection is filled to the brink with Special Features. Including Audio commentary , behind the scenes , trailers and other great amazing features. Do you love batman , did you enjoy the films in this set and do you want the best picture and audio available on any format. If the answer is yes , then what are you doing reading this. Click Add and Buy.

A Pretty Good Read, if You don't Know Much about Religion.

I was aware of most of the information presented in the book, but I've had protestant friends that I was able to converse with about religion. I liked the fact that there was new understanding on both of the author's parts, and they each have individual views about their respective religion. Many critics claim that neither author is a great representative for their faiths, but I disagree. There is room for variations in individual beliefs within both belief systems. I disagreed with the LDS author about the Bible, but I mostly agreed with him. I do focus a lot on grace like he did... LDS people believe that Jesus' atonement IS the gospel. I think a lot of LDS people focus on grace and talk a lot about mercy. The divide isn't as wide as many think. Those who disagree probably have personal issues to work out and just need someone to hate/argue with.

I Agree With Why Do I Bother

Expecting the great Calder saga that came alive in her first three books, it is so disappointing to see the way Janet Dailey is now writing. I bought her first book over 25 years ago when it was released. This Calder edition has another beloved character killed and not even mentioning some of the family. It's hard to get a close feeling to the new characters because we miss the old ones too much!!!

BEWARE: AMAZON SHIPS TENNYSON INSTEAD OF BARONESS PATTERN

While the box was labeled correctly, i.e., "Royal Doulton Baroness" the item enclosed was the "Tennyson" pattern. I've noticed other customer reviews involving purchase of Royal Daulton from Amazon with similar problems so what I experienced is a recurring problem. Some customers also relate that when they return the item for an "exchange" the replacement item is also the wrong pattern. Obtaining a refund requires a telephone call to customer service and also requires that you take the item to the U.S. Post Office. Since this is an Amazon mistake you would expect they would pick the item up at the shipping location, but that is not the case. Royal Doulton has outlet stores which ship items for free, don't charge sales tax and whose prices and customer service are superior to Amazon.

Just another 'regular' Forgotten Realms novel

The book starts out OK. Volo gets stuck with a lazy travelling companion and he is thrown into a world tour adventure that promises all kinds of action in the different cultures and climates of Toril. But although the adventurers travel through all sorts of places the author moves too fast and does a poor job of using the rich variety of cultures that we all know FR has. The author then tries to keep the reader interested throwing at him many well known FR heroes to help out Volo and his friends.Volo himslef is well depicted in the book. But the travelling companions were not a good supporting cast. The special appearences by the FR heroes leave an even worse impression.

HAHA I bought this for 13 dollars

Great metal but since its a cover album you can't really call it gore metal...considering Led Zeppelin didn't talk about dismembering prostitutes...and neither did the Cure. Aside from that this is great considering Exhumed puts an interesting twist on the songs, as i've said the Cure wasn't death metal. Reccomended for a fan of the band or death metal.

Great!

I have both CD's Diana and Fantasia, my thought..both are good but I like Diana's better..Diana's voice is more powerful and sweet to listen too.Different styles, but both girls will really go far..best of luck to both of you..and for those who keep on bashing these girls..I think you're all need to grow up! It takes a lot of hard work, extra efford days after days nights after nights to be on AI (and I don't think you "the basher" have any gut to do that), they work very hard for what they believe in and to be where they are today and we should be proud of them. Each of us have our own preferences nothing wrong with that..but it's really wrong to bashed them with all of your unkind words...so give it up and enjoy the music.

80's camp and Anchor Bay wins again

Before it was rereleased on DVD, I had all but forgotten this movie. As a child, it kept me enthralled, and as an adult, it still has all the fun of a true 80's camp masterpiece. There were many of them in those days, and I'm glad that companies like Anchor Bay are still willing to invest in rereleasing cult films.The Pirate Movie is loosely based on The Pirates Of Penzance, but don't think you'll find much similarity aside from general plot here. Taking place in some odd dream sequence, Kristy McNichol's character wishes to marry before her older sisters despite family custom. When she meets an x-pirate and is determined to marry him, all sorts of odd adventures and cheesy swashbuckling mayhem ensue in between bouts of raunchy humor and hilarious pop songs. The sexual humor is abundant, or even extreme at some times, but it's all in good fun.Don't miss the Python-esque battle sequences in the climax. Pure classic!

Thorn is a Mary Sue/Marty Stue and a bit of a jerkass

This is a great book, though I often found Thorn to be uncaring and self-centered. He/she is more of an anti-hero than Aztec's Mixtli, and harder to sympathize with at times. There is good reason for this. Overall the story is a good one, and fascinating.

An embarrassing effort and the last Card I'll ever read.

It takes a lot to make me throw away a several hundred page book with a few dozen pages left to read, but Card pulled it off. In truth, I knew that I was in for a slog early on as the Princeton grad students and the putatively "brilliant" history professor, Torrent , engaged in the kind of intellectual discourse you might over hear at a TGI Fridays next door to a community college. I stuck it out through all of the stilted, corny dialogue and simplistic political "analysis" hoping to find that the spectacularly implausible Progressive Restoration (replete with hover bikes and robotech walkers) was a ruse. **NOT MUCH OF A SPOILER** It isn't.I find it amazing that this is the same guy who wrote Speaker For the Dead.

This puppy rocks! I did what used to take an hour to polish by hand in less than 20 minutes. And it does a better job! Best of all, unlike a rotary polisher like your hand drill with a polishing pad, this random orbital polisher will not damage your paint or clearcoat. Just follow the directions.

History, As it should have been!

All I can say about this game is WOW! I've had it for about a year and I still haven't gotten tired of it. The fun part of this game is that each battle has a different outcome according on how well (or not so well) you do. Two weeks ago I finally beat the U.S. and unified Europe and North America under German leadership! If your a fan of WWII and alternate history, this game is for you.

Couldn't heat the box it came in!

I needed a small heater to place near me while on my computer in an 8X10 room. It just need to take the chill out of the air, not totally heat my room. I placed it 2 feet away from me and barely noticed a thing even after turning it up to the max setting. The heat comes out of the top and does little for warming my feet. The unit is not that tall so this surprised me.I tried putting it within inches from me, knowing this was unsafe, but it didn't help warm those few inched around me. Also, the top of the unit gets very hot even when placed a feet feet from anything around it. You would need to be careful with pets or small kids around.After trying different settings, running it for hours and moving it closer to me, I gave up. Nothing I did helped the unit provide relief from a mild chill in the air.

Whatever printer was used for the card did not have good resolution. The numbers and letters for 20/20 vision and a couple of other fields are blurred and you can't tell what they are supposed to be even if you can see well. Even though it was cheap, I wouldn't purchase it again.

I am being extremely generous by giving this book 1 star, however since I could not go any lower this will have to do. I am a liberal and I am sick of bleeding hearts trying to tell me that Ms.Hill was apart of some conspiracy against Mr.Thomas (I shudder to call him Justice) Ms.Hill was a woman who was treated horribly in a sexual manner and she did what she had to. Mr.Brock did not tell me anything I really wanted to know. Nor did he tell me anything I needed to know. Besides there is no reason to read this book. We all know the outcome.

Poor Quality, Didn't work out of box

First of all, I have owned a conversion kit that was made by a different company(bought it at Target) and it worked great for a couple of years.The conversion kit arrived broken. I hooked it up, which was really fast and there was no light. I checked the battery, same thing. I took it off to inspect and the LED's were hot and it smelled acrid like burning wires. I am attempting to return it and get a new one. But, I can't recommend the item due to poor quality control. It's not like there is a filament that can break during shipping.

Visually stunning?

I waited for this movie to transcend the pretentious, derivitive visuals especially the awful artwork but it ended up being just as bad. I read some of the reviews and the comments are consistently favorable of the visuals even if they did not like the movie. The only way I can understand this is by also seeing that somehow the awful art of Thomas Kinkade is so popular. It is so marketed and fake, served to you as great art. That is exactly how this movie has been served to you, don't accept it find something real.

Unbleieveably amateurish!!

I was one of those who could not wait for the next Grisham novel. For whatever reason I had not kept up with his latest couple or so. This one, was obviously written for one reason, and one reason only, to catitalize on his name. It is without question one of the worst books I have read. The plot(?) is telegraphed within the first couple of chapters. There are virtually no suprises in the whole book, except for the fact that there are no suprises. Character developement is shallow, superficial and meaningless. Rotten Read! I will have to pause before reading "The Testament" which I have available.

Songs in Ordinary Time

A fascinating story about a poor and lonely woman who tried to raise 3 kids with an alcoholic husband. It described her pain and frustration very realistically living in a small town... The plot was amazing, taking the reader through a forbidden romance and a crime as well as other family mishaps. McGarry Morris painted an overall sense of urgency and hopelessness that made you feel sorry for the characters. My favorite part was when Marie Fermoyle decided to take control of her life and sell soap powder for a living.I was easily pulled into the plot and I had trouble putting it down until I got to the end!
