Avenged Sevenfold is one of my favorite rock bands. They have shown growth in all of their albums. They are constantly progressing in their songs and I love it!Avenged Sevenfold are one of the few bands around that are willing to take chances with their music.Burn it Down is on their City Of Evil cd and I think it's one of their best songs on it.If you're a fan of A7X or just a fan or rock, get this!

This is not a book. It is a manual for the code the author has writen.The code is in .p format, not in .m format. So it doesn not let to learn anything.A very bad book. It is just a software manual

I first bought and read this book back in the early 90s, after reading an interview with guitarist Steve Vai in MUSICIAN magazine. This is the book that started Vai on a spiritual path, and it's been a favorite of mine as well.I've suffered from a cyclical depression for 12 years. Whenever I feel "stuck," I re-read this book.There must be something I've forgotten, I think, or why would I allow suffering to take over?Better go back and read "Magic in Your Mind" again!We can have whatever we want in this life. KNOWING and BELIEVING makes it so.

This book was not the kind of reading I like to do for relaxing or for entertainment. It was very repetitive and boring. I did not like the main character doing the same thing every day, they could have added more interesting activities. This is the only book from Oprah's Book Club that I read and it turned me off to read any more of them.

Unlike the original brew station, this particular model comes with a new "seal" to prevent leaks. Despite following the directions explicitly to ensure that there would be no leakage, including a leak test, which I performed, this model, when left unattended, leaked the entire pot of coffee all over my counter top. Not impressed. Called customer service, who had me do exactly the same directions, which again involved leaking entire pot all over (this time I got smart... it was just hot water). finally gave up and returned it!

This is my second DVD recorder (the first was a Cyberhome).Many people complain about the Icon system and settings layout on this unit for being hard to understand and confusing. This is true to a point, however, after using it a few times it comes easy (it isnt THAT bad). Do keep in mind however, that DVD recorders are a bit more complex than a VCR. There are many more setting adjustments that you can make. This alone makes ANY DVD recorder a bit harder (at first) to understand "right out of the box". As far as quality recordings, this unit does a great job, even at lower speeds, from cable or from a vcr. The Firewire input is a nice touch if you have a digital camcorder.

This is perhaps the worst Ministry CD I have ever heard. Not sure what has happened to the music/club scene in the UK, but this is like a time warp back to the 80's. Not good. Save your money and dig up Annual II & III and listen to them instead.

I received this book as a gift from my father who also enjoys sign language because he thought it would be a great addition to our collection of sign language books since we have used sign language for both of our hearing children since shortly after birth. It is a wonderful quick reference guide for toddlers and older children. My 2 year has been using signs from this book since she was about 1 1/2 years old. He was right it was a great addition to our collection. As an advocate of baby sign language and owner of http://www.babytalk-learn2sign.com I recommend this book to anyone who is teaching their young children sign language.

Andreas Scholl is really inimitable - in a very peculiar way. To my ears, his pure voice is so perfect that it is faceless. Nobody else is like that. Scholl's hallmark is lack of any hallmarks. Scholl sounds technically superb, but somehow I can never finish the entire disc in one sitting: my mind drifts off. Maybe it's I who's peculiar, although I can think of a good half dozen countertenors who don't put me to sleep. But I won't bore you with their names.

This is an extremely helpful work on the topic. It is both scholarly and friendly to the reader. The author takes a position while at the same time objectively presenting opposing views. Exercises are included for the reader as well as the teacher who wants to get the class involved. An instructor's companion CD is available through Baker Academic which is extremely valuable if you plan to teach from the text.In short, this book has become a treasure in my library and I am grateful to Henry Virkler and Karelynne Gerber Ayayo for writing it (and revising it - 2nd edition). Thank you both.

The beauty of the ORIGINAL edition of this book is its simplicity and its straightforward style. It was/is the ultimate how to write a novel if you also have to have a day job guide.This second edition is full of hot air! It's laden with jargon and complex diagrams, assumes the reader knows way too much. Concedes completely that writers should adjust their vision because today's readers have been corrupted by TV and film. I STRONGLY disagree with the shift in focus from character to plot. I too will hang on to my worn copy of the original.Don't bother buying this one. It's not worth the money.

Not very happy with this product. the Tape for the shuttle wings won't stick - and the fit of the hooks makes it hard to get the wings close enough to shuttle body to stick. The rocket itself is basically cardboard with a decal around it. The decal was sloppily applied. We can't fit the ring on the bottom of the rocket - kinda necessary to hold the engine in to launch rocket.Feel like I wasted my money and now I'm stuck with the launch pad and engines for a rocket we can't fly.

I can't get this thing to work. If I can get it to turn on, which is still a problem after two sets of batteries, there is so much static that I can barely hear my book on tape. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, and I can't tell what the difference in conditions is. I'm going to get an FM module installed in my car stereo.

The book is beautifully illustrated with full color photos that are exceptional in quality. I think it would have been helpful to show how some of the earrings are actually worn, either on a mannequin head or a real person. One other feature I found inconvenient was the location of the descriptive text , which is clear at the back of the book, instead of under or in back of each illustration. The reader has to keep flipping back and forth between the full-sized photo in front and the text at the end. However, it still provides a good general survey of ethnic earrings from Africa, Asia and the Americas.

First off I would prefer to give this c.d. no stars at all, since that's not an option, I had to settle for one. As a woman I am appauled at the graffic topics disscussed on this c.d. I give props to all the guys who had enough balls to say that it is a disgusting display of pure mental sickness. I find this album extremely offending, which is hard to do. I am not offended by many things. This entire album displays an extreme distaste and lack of deep meaningful, relevant subjects to sing about. Frankly, I believe it shows a huge level of immaturity, get your priorities straight. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this type of music, but spend your money on something more worth it. Perhaps, spineshank, machine head, pantera or sepultura. So do yourself a favor and get a life, or maybe a real hobby. Let's get real here people. Where's the good metal at?

I am not a fast reader. If I can finish a book in fifteen minutes, it probably isn't much of a book. That is certainly the case in this instance.If you think that a list of cruise ship lines -- which you can get at your local library -- is worth $13.00, then by all means buy this book. Otherwise, save your money.If I had turned out a piece of work this flimsy and full of technical errors, I wouldn't admit, as Mr. Marin has, to having a Ph.D. Maybe he had a better proof reader for his Ph.D thesis than he did for this book.Although he has attempted to provide useful information, most of what he supplies is available elsewhere. I can only hope that Mr. Marin's music-making is more satisfying than his writing.

This unit is hard to operate. It takes 2 hands to push down full force to get it to start and another 2 hands to hold the bag smooth. I must have wasted 5 bags with them not sealing and the air leaking back in within minutes. If you can afford it, I would recommend a better unit. You basically have to pre-freeze anything from ground beef and thinner or it is virtually impossible to seal.

This book is full of wonderful recipes that just prove that Maida Heatter is the expert on baking. I started off with the Zucchini bread, which is out of this world. I then tried the sticky buns. My family thought I bought them at a bakery. And they weren't that difficult. Anybody who has baked before will be able to complete them with ease.

There's an old saying: "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It waists your time and annoys the pig." Now replace pig with cat and sing with use the toilet. I spent nearly 2 months follwing the instructions in this book. First slowly bringing the litter box to the bathroom, raising it up to the toilet, and finally replacing the box on the toilet with kitty litter in plastic wrap. Now, I have a cat that hangs over the edge of her litter box so I though this would not be a leap. But kitty was not happy. The first day sans box she peed on the floor in front of the toilet. The second day she pooped. The thrid day she peed ON OUR BED! This, my friend, was a cat telling us she was not happy with the situation. So, the kitty box returned and we have had no further straying of toilet duties.The book is cute and entertaining. Maybe you have a cat that will use the toilet. Not me. Neither of our two cats used the toilet.

SInce reading "Jack of Hearts" and "Living Upstairs" I had eagerly been awaiting the next Nathan Reed saga. When it finally came out I was so excited, but as soon as I started reading it I was very disappointed. The characters fail to live up to the caliber of those in Hansen's other books (who can forget Rick Ames and Alma?). The characters in "Cutbank Path" are shallow and underdeveloped, and not at all memorable. Add to that the deplorable editing/proofreading job (I never saw so many typos in one book!). I will continue to re-read "Jack of Hearts" and "Living Upstairs," but I don't think I'll pick up this one again.

I don't think it would be possible to give a Susanna Kearsley novel less than 4 stars. One of the best things about her novels is that she paints such a vivid picture of the setting that you feel that you are really there. Her characters are equally vivid and realistic that you almost could believe they're you're best friends. Verity, David, and the whole cast of characters are amazingly well written and the dialogue is fun and witty. That being said, this is not my favorite Susanna Kearsley novel. I much preferred Mariana, Rose Garden, and Winter Sea. The mystery of the ghost story doesn't quite have the same level of intrigue that the other stories have. Also, I would have liked to see more of the romance. Still, it's well worth reading.

This is a great intermediate-level tape that combines strength training with some aerobic moves to give you a complete workout in just 35 minutes. I've been doing video workouts for the past seven years, and have over 30 in my collection to provide variety, and I just love the Crunch videos. There is a ton of variety in the workout - lots of add-ons to a simple move building to a combo, and it got my heart pumping and raised a sweat. Highly recommended.

Best protein and value I have seen. No added sugars. And no added artificial sugars, which is a big deal!! And difficult to find. Aspartame and Sucralose are so crappy for you, why would you work out and then feed your body that junk? The same goes for fructose or other flavorings and sweeteners. None of those chemicals here! It's great to find a healthy protein.

While this is a survivor's comical & allegorical adventure after a tidal wave wipes this world clean, Noah revisited it is not! I didn't much like Paul Sant; felt he kept everything at a distance. As I read my heart clanged like a San Francisco cable car. What a read! Lulled into a cranky, everyday boredom, you grumble along on an ordinary day at the beach in California until, with surprisingly ordinary & immediately evocative words, a wave the size of the sky, inundates all. And so the odyssey begins; through wondrous weather, Wonderland-like creatures and redemptive encounters. A curious, unique tale. Worth the read. Destined to become a classic.

It was like opening a long anticipated book, only to find most of the pages were illegible...I ordered the Magic Eight Ball for some last day of school fun. We got the eight ball out and asked a couple of big future life questions and lo and behold...the "water" inside the ball was too dark and inky to read most of the answers. I felt like we were trapped in some bad "Final Destination" movie with no future in front of us. Yikes!

This book is not very interesting. It is neither a how-to about starting a business, or a my-story type book. It's somewhere in-between, and we don't get enough of either. It's not about following your dreams, either. Sometimes, though, it is a book about how to get what you want even when it seems impossible. Still, it never turns out to be all that interesting. For example, she gets the school to change their chosen paint colors. (Who cares?) Most of the book is about her business, but if I had been thinking of starting a business, she just talked me out of it. I get the imprssion that she works too much- way more than she wants, and has debt up to her eyeballs. No thanks!

I know that a lot of people have loved this series and have come away from this series with ideas that have become a part of them. So I really wanted to read and enjoy these books. But my brain can't follow 20 shifting characters and constant point-of-view shifts even within the same character. I'm sure that the story is brilliant. But I just couldn't manage to keep all the stories and people straight. I finally gave up altogether with the reading. These books will definitely challenge you, but they're not for everyone.

Mainly in response to the first (non-)"review" I spent a while with the (grainy) image of the case artwork and the Internet Movie Data Base.The three films appear to be "The Klansman" (1974), "Divorce His - Divorce Hers" (w/ L. Taylor - 1973), and "Green Grow the Rushes) (1951). While I'm not an expert on Burton movies, I don't recall any of these as having a reputation for excellence. As I got here following a search for "Becket" - which is magnificent, but not presently available on DVD - I share the earlier reviewer's concern.

We replaced a used Fisher Price monitor that had been given to us that had a couple of quirks, probably from use. We bought the Crisp and Clear and found it to be Tempermental and Hissy. Just turning it on produces hissy, high volume static, nearly every time. Some nights it would awaken us, not with the sounds of our sleeping baby, but with a low hum or a repetitive chirping noise. I guess we'll continue our search elsewhere.

I was excitd to get this for my 5 year old daughter. Thought it would be a find learning experience.We set it up, plugged it in and the wheel would not spin. I opened the case to find the gear motor was not touching the gears so I straigtened it up and it worked. Moments later, the power stopped. I opened it again to find the wire to the AC/DC adapter fell off. I didn't have a solder gun so I used electrical tape to connect it. That worked for a while too.I couldn't believe all the problems I had. This isn't the only toy we;ve had problems with this year either. Doesn't anyone make quality toys anymore??

product came quickly enough but box was damaged. plastic hub over rear sprocket was shattered but rest of contents seemed ok. after removing bike and starting to assemble, had all kinds of trouble. The front brake line was not connected to the handlebar. called kent and they said they usually pay to have a local bike shop assemble and tune up the bike when purchased over the net. how come i did'nt get this service when i purchased through you. another problem is the tech dept of kent is only open until 3:30 eastern time. i have a problem with shifting into highest gear on the main sprocket and work during the day so i can't reach tech support when i get home. i need help with this problem and i'm not paying a bike shop to do it.all in all i would not recomend buying a bike this way and would tell anybody that if asked. i think going to bike shop or sporting goods store would be better. if you have a problem you can talk to them and have it fixed.

Chrono Cross is one of the few games that doesn't require that you play the predecessor first to understand the story. This was good news for me because I played Cross and then Trigger. Yeah that's kind of backwards logic, but I still got hours of entertainment out of this title.Cross's best features are the gameplay, rich story lines, loads of characters that you can add to your party, and it's replay quality. To be honest I haven't played this game in some time, and I would gladly replay it again because of how fun it is.If you don't find the above convincing, just remember most of Squaresoft's games are amazing with the exception of Vagrant's Story but that's my opinion. Even so, they have a great trade in value because people will pay top dollar for these quality games.

Daphne du Maurier was a consummate artist and Forster's excellent biography portrays her sympathetically, yet realistically. To begin to understand du Maurier one must understand that she considered fantasy more exciting than the real world. A child of privilege, Daphne grew up in a highly social and colorful artist's family, yet she greatly valued being alone. Her work was very lucrative, yet she spent much more money to help family and friends than on herself. Her writing is part of college curriculum and extremely popular. She was accepted into the Order of Knighthood for her contribution to the arts. Forster's apparently well-researched biography is written in a casual style, often humorous. Many people have something to say about Daphne and I found her own quotes the most interesting, yet, chameleon-like, she eludes the reader and remains mysterious.

This seat installs by clamping it tightly to a frame of a bike. My husband had to tighten it so much per the instructions, that he was concerned that his Aluminum Trek bike frame might get damaged. So we did not keep this carrier. We ended up getting the more expensive Topeak Babysitter Carrier.However, we are giving the Cocoon 2 stars for two reasons...(1) Other than the way you mount it on the bike, we liked the overall construction of the carrier.(2) We see many of these carriers (we have seen at least 4) being used by others in our neighborhood with success. They seem to really like them.So if you aren't as concerned as we were with damage to your bike frame and like the price of this carrier, then you should probably give it a try.

Quite simply, this is the worst DVD transfer I've ever seen. In reference to the other reviewer's observation concerning the film's "poor lighting" all I can say is blame it on transfer, not the director. The film is every bit as good as, say, Magnolia, and is deserving of at least a 4 1/2 star rating. However, owing to the unreadable subtitles, I'd be loath to recommend this movie--even for rental--to anyone who doesn't speak French.

Even when we don't feel we deserve it, He keeps on blessing us over and over again. I had some doubts when I was asked to read this book. I really thought it would be another of one of these self righteous books about what you better do, how to do it and what is going to happen if you don't. Ms Harris told a story that I could find a lesson for myself and a lesson to witness to others. This is a book that I have been and will continue to recommend to those who feel the need to overcome shame, guilt and doubt.

Movies like this have been done repeatedly and done better starting with "Adventures in Babysitting." The movie is mediocre at best due to Jonah Hill's performance, but even he can't save this mess of a script. This isn't a film for kids even though it's called "The Sitter". It's one ridiculous scenario after another and is lacking in humor. It's so outlandish and beyond believable that you'll find yourself rolling your eyes with annoyance at the absurdity. There's so much going on from one scene to the next that you're curiosity rides with it until you realize its just not going to get any better than this.

I Rented this after one of my friends told me about this he said it was'nt half bad.So i rented it last weekend i rather enjoyed it Lindsay Lohan is quite good. The scenery is is effective and the performances are all good. I rather enjoyed Lisa Ann Walters Performance which very funny and the pace of this movie is very fast for 128 mins of fun and romance.

Poe has a nice voice but that's about it. She sings about pain, anger, and sex with the tone of a 5 year old. Is it all an act? It sure sounds like it. Her lyrics are overwrought with cliches and her melodies are simplistic and trite. This is too bad because she could do a whole lot more with her voice. I'm not surprised that her latest album didn't do all that well. I apologize to all Poe fans, but this album really didn't do it for me. If you are looking for angry women music, I'd try Fiona, PJ, Tori, Liz Phair, Hole, etc. because Poe simply doesn't fit the image she tries to portray.

I am so grateful that Maria Woodworth Etter gave us a record of the many miracles that Jesus wrought in those very early days! She is an inspiration to us in the 21st Century, for her dedication and obedience to the call.

I've only had this album for about 4 days and i can't get enough of it. Such a mellow and real album. The Best song on the cd has to be existentialism on prom night (wooow im hooked)If you dont already have this album i have one thing to say "why you still reading this, go out and buy it buy it buy it!" :)

I was really hoping to like this movie, but was disappointed when the movie turned out to be slow and lacked a meaningful message that engages the viewer.

Very nice power center, especially for the price! I needed something to protect my new home theater system, because my old power strip wasn't going to cut it. This was also very helpful in getting my tangled mess of power cords in order and labeled. The coax connectors were a little tight, but I was able to get the cables screwed on without too much trouble. Mine came with an extra coax and phone connector which was a nice surprise.

Any Carolinian would appreciate this regional book -- The story of the maturation of a young man who leaves the tobacco farm for the love of the outer banks. This story also treats violence , abuse, and alcohol.Todd is determined to break the cycle and be a good father to his children. This book is easy to read. Perhaps a map should be included with the text.-- Ele Mae

"Streams" is a CD that is so beautifully understated that it draws you into its beauty in such a way that you experience it rather than just listen to it. This first ten songs on this generous work (it is well over fifty minutes long) are by various contemporary Christian artists, with some guests. Michelle Tume's "Hold On," Chris Rodriguez's "Sanctuary," Sixpence's "Breathe," and Delirious? with Amy Grant's "Find Me In The River" are among the best vocal offerings -- but every vocal by all the artists is a work of musical tapestry that lends itself to repeated listenings. The orchestral suite is very good, but seems somewhat tacked on as filler. Still, this is one fine CD!

The first few times I played the game, I really enjoyed it. However, after completing the 5 levels twice, I am completely sick of it. Another five to ten levels that could be unlocked by completing the game would have made all the difference.Good concept and great graphics, but only about 3-4 hours (tops) of gameplay and no multiplayer really kill this one. Don't buy it new, as I suspect there will be plenty of used copies of it out there.

This mower was cheap and at the price of gas right now i'm sure glad I picked it up when I did. It does a great job on Grass, but it struggles with the thinly stalked wheat looking weeds. For smaller yards as well

I loved this movie! It was terrific! The old Zorro retires and a new one takes his place. The training scene is partically good. I can't wait to buy it! It has tons of action, sad and funny parts and it's altogether WONDERFUL! I hope you love it as much as I did!

This book is very interesting if you are interested in Chinese Medicine. You can get a very strong idea of how Chinese approach medicine from the idea of the whole organism in view. Their interpretation of what is occurring in the body is completely at odds with our methods, that is, organs have different functions than they do in our system. I was looking for some gems of wisdom which we don't get in our methods, and I found them scattered throughout the book. Very interesting reading.

I found this to be a good product. There's 3 sections - Core Basics (this is beginner level), Core Challenge (this is an intermediate level), and More for Your Core (this is sort of a bonus section with routines using props and also a 30 min mat routine). Each level has core routines and 5 minute ab routines. The instruction and routines are pretty straight forward so you won't have any trouble getting right into it. The 3 levels and variety of routines makes this a good DVD for me.

I am an Archaeologists/Historian and was so looking forward to watching this series since I did not have HBO when they aired the series. So for Christmas I received this box set and was thrilled, loved the first few discs until I got to what I thought was the 4th Disc, instead the package included two, yes TWO bonus features discs. The confusion, I believe rests in the incompetence of whomever packaged it and inserted two VI discs and not one disc IV and one disc VI, Roman numerals are easy to confuse but still care should have been taken to ensure that every package contained the right disc not the right number of discs. Very disappointed!!! Love the episodes I was able to watch, but I did not get to see two episodes, very disappointed!!!!!!
