I Bought this book at the store because it was cheaper and compact...Dumb Idea. I was mad at how it's name was Rollercoasters instead of "Rollercoasters:Woodie's and More". The only pictures I really liked were the big Cobra Roll of Alpengheist on the Back and the T2 picture on Page 8. I would tell everyone to buy David B's book instead because 1) It's a couple years ahead, 2) Beautiful Pictures of both Wood and Steel coasters, 3)It's Clear and Easy to understand, and 4) IT'S ACCURATE. Some of the things in this book are off by miles, from Opening Dates, to Height and Lenghth, Even Type!(i.e. Wood Out and Back Oval). The only reason I would tell you to buy this book is because it can fit through your door(David B's Book is kinda big!) and it's 6 to 8 Bucks cheaper! Or you may be a Woodie Lover. Otherwise buy David B's Book!

Miriam Wosk's death came as a real shock to me .She was an art mentor that I never met,yet she brought light and color into my art world with her book Skeletons and Sequins.So much fine art in the 21st century is devoid of a spiritual vibe that is also uplifting.She was not afraid to tackle dimestore kitsch as well as the canon of western art ,and the art of marginalized peoples,synthesizing it all together as her own,without being postmodern or giving the viewer one-liners as so much of art has been .Her death leaves the art world so much colder.

If "Clan of the Cave Bear" was as mediocre as this book, its likely that the series would have ended right there. "Clan" was an excellent book -- and the others in the series were also very good -- but this book is very lacking in drama and repetitious to the point of boredom. The detailed research, which was skillfully woven into the story in earlier books and gave life and dimension to the characters and events, appeared in this book as lengthy descriptions which interrupted the story. As an Auel fan, I've eagerly read all of the previous books in this series, and was hoping that the negative reviews on "Shelters" were exaggerated. Sad to say, they're not. The only positive thing about this book is that Auel fans will have a chance to re-enter Ayla's world again after a long wait. I'm hoping that the next book will be better...

I have enjoyed several of Margaret Cho's other appearances, but this just wasn't what I signed up for. She spent most of the running time making simple political remarks, with very few "jokes" to be had. It felt like an hour and a half of just watching her cuss about whatever is bugging her, with no other insights or funny diatribes. It was fine for what it is, but it simply shouldn't be labeled as stand up comedy.

I know it sounds crazy, but after reading this book I felt like I knew Kung Fu when I was dealing with the Credit Bureaus and my past creditors. I had wonderful success prior to this book with the strategies that I learned from "Guerrilla Guide to Credit Repair", but when I started using the strategies from this book, I took it up a notch. In a few instances my creditors read the letters that I developed from reading this book, and simply gave in to my requests. The straetgies require a little time (A few months)a little typing and a little postage, but it yields amazing success. In fact, I have even begun helping others to recover their credit. God Bless Todd Bierman and Nathaniel Wice.

I have a five year and I wanted her to get familiar with the states in her country. The only way I can get her to listen is to make a game of learning. I thought so much of the game that I ordered 10 to use as birthday presents for either boys or girls. Now, my daughter is learning her states and I have birthday presents without having to shop for each event. As we progress we will graduate to the Great States (senior).

I loved this book!...whatcha see is not usually whatcha get on the PGA tour...Curt Sampson has captured the reality of Pro Golf, which is not seen on network TV or The Golf Channel. As a former PGA Tour caddy I can vouch for the fact that while the TV cameras are rolling these guys put on a good show but off-stage they won't give you the time of day...Curt Sampson has the inside track on what really happens inside the ropes on the PGA Tour and he shares it with all of us...Tiger, Phil, Charles Howell III...nobody is immune from criticism...and that's the way it should be...after all... aren't golfers people like you and me?...a good book...fast read...and right on the money...Capt.

You has to be in front of the WIRELESS ROUTER to get a good signal.I travel a lot and I bought it use it when I'm inside of my room. I just walk like 4 to 5 feet to the bedroom and I only have one bar of signal...I end up returning the Router and buying a Belkin Wireless G Router and work just fine. I even use it at home.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND KEEP SHOPPING......NONE OF THE EAR PIECES STAY IN YOUR EAR AND FOR THE SHORT TIME THAT IT DID IT WAS EXTREMELY UN-COMFORTABLE. THE WIRE ITSELF IS QUITE THICK AND HEAVY WHICH CAUSES THE EARBUDS TO BE PULLED OUT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SIT PERFECTLY STILL THEY MAY BE OK BUT IF YOUR USING THESE FOR WALKING OR EXCERCISING YOU WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED. AS FAR AS THE SOUND QUALITY THEY WERE FAIR, NOT MUCH BETTER THAN A CHEAP $10 PAIR THAT I HAD...ALSO THE SUPPLIER ELECTRONICA DIRECT DID NOT WANT TO HEAR OF ANY RETURNS....BOTTOM LINE IS MAKE SURE YOU ROAD TEST THESE BEFORE YOU BUY OR ELSE LIKE ME YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO USE FOR.............

My daughter received this as a b-day gift for her 8th birthday. The basic idea is that you have all these little cardboard patterns and cut fabric from them and then use the fabric as "clothes" for the doll. Unless you are an experienced adult crafter w/a pair of extra-sharp scissors, your "clothes" will be mishapen shreds of cloth with lots of glue and strings hanging off. Fun -- not. As I write this review, I am throwing this toy away after 3 failed tries to play with it. I should add that my daughter has excellent fine motor skills - for example she makes her own beaded jewelry.

I purchased this set as an intended gift recently, and ended up keeping it for our summer place. I am very surprised at the performance of all the knives, they are almost as effective as my very high priced German ones (you know the name). Despite their having been made in China, the handles are still intact and about the only complaint I have is that two of the "Sabatier" medalions have fallen off the handles. One cannot find a comparable set of knives in a discount store, and these would make an excellent gift for someone who is just getting started or people who will never purchase a "good" knife on their own. They also sharpen well and easily, but not with the sharpener provided. My son, who is a chef, has used them on occasion and although he wasn't as impressed with their performanceand quality as I am, agreed that I got a "hell of a deal". You simply can't go wrong with this purchase. i am now ordering another set (as a gift, once again!).

I got this game b/c the N64 version was so much fun...whoops. On every level, Perfect Dark GBC absolutely stinks. The controls are sketchy, the sound effects pathetic, and...what else? Everything.The single worst characteristic about this game is the fact that you can't see the enemies in the room with you until it is too late. When you do discover there is an armed guard in the room with you, it is usually b/c he is running towards you with his gun blazing. Bang bang, you're dead.I could go on and on, but let me just sum it up: THIS GAME SUCKS!

This jacket is awesome. Keeps you nice n toasty. The only reason I gave it a four star is because the size. I even read the reviews about the sizes and I ignored them. I've always been a large guy, I weight 165 pounds and Im 6 feet 2 inches tall, but the large is a bitt too big around the waist but just the right length. If you usually purchase large sizes I would suggest purchasing the medium size of this jacket. Other than the size, this is a great jacket!

I originally purchased the Cambridge Townhouse flatware from JC Penneys four years ago. I decided to add to my set. Penneys didn't have it available so I ended up purchasing them from Kohl's. I didn't at the time realize that I was getting a set that had a flat finsh, but since it was the same pattern, I was satisfied. DO NOT PURCHASE THE SATIN FINSIH! It DOES rust. I am presently looking to replace this rusted set with the MIRROR FINISH. That is the difference. And just remember not to use dishwasher detergent that contains lemon or lime, which I have faithly done. The "mirror finish" set looks beautiful. Cambridge should be ashamed to have sold a product of such poor quality as the satin finish. Anyone know how I might get in touch with Cambridge?

I love Rod Stewart, but I am a little disappointed with Human. Rod has long been a master of the rock ballad, but this new title is way to ballad heavy. Rod has successfully been able to blend up tempo rockers with ballads to create well balanced fun records. This new disc doesn't even have a song that approaches mid tempo until the last song I Can't Deny It (The best song on Human) Rod still does shows he can deliver rock ballads and whereas the songs are not bad, there are just too many slow songs. His last outing, When We Were The Young Boys, which by the way was highly underrated, is far superior to Human. So, overall not a horrible album but please don't head to the retirement home yet Rod, I know you still have some kick left. Just show it next time.

I bought this item based off reviews from other buyers and I'm extremely disappointed. I was replacing a similar Japanese grater set, but the graters on this set are so poor, and make an enormous mess, I'm still having to use my old one. The slicer component is so wide, that I might as well use a knife to be more accurate, and the hand protector is useless as it doesn't slide properly. I would recommend spending more on a quality item, that doesn't increase your kitchen work load.

I picked up this cd yesterday after listening to it on the headphones in a local record store. Since this is my first cd by these guys, I was totally amazed. With the exception of track 8 "Lenny" the rest of the tracks are jamming. These three guys are smoking on this record. This cd reminds me of 70's sounds that were coming from Herbie Hancock, Tower of Power and some early Sly and the Family Stone.Thank goodness that the Hammond B-3 organ and the clavinet are not dead instruments after all for todays young muscians. If you're a fan of the 70's Jazz Funk scene buy this cd. You will play it continuously without skipping songs.

After listening to the Indian music on the DVD "Concert for George", I wanted to find something similar so I started searching around and stumbled on this. If you listen to this on a low quality system, or on an I-Pod with ear buds, it may not sound like anything spectacular, but listen to it on a nice, powerful system with the volume up high and you will be moved! It's very powerful stuff that really created a euphoric feeling for me. Rich, varied sounds with incredible vocals. I will be searching for more music like this.

This pan is not even close to the quality of the original Revere skillet. It's about half the weight, for starters. The handle is much shorter also, and for no good reason other than to save money, I'm guessing. To add insult to injury, the one that I received is not even a true circle and hence the glass lid that I kept from my original skillet won't stay put. I can only hope that cooking with it is a success because that will be its sole redeeming feature.Update: I've used it twice and found that one area has a real hot spot. The two dishes that I prepared (a bag dinner from Bertolli and pancakes) burned in that one area within half a minute. I have prepared both of these in my old Revere skillet with no problems.I am going to return this to Amazon with the recommendation that they remove it from their inventory. I will then go to my local supermarket where I bought my original Revere skillet in the hope that they still have some of the "real" ones. This one is a impostor, for sure.

I bought this to try with the newly bought hot air pop-corn, but to say it is bland is an understatement. I haven't tried it with steamed vegetables yet, but it just doesn't make sense to me that I'd have to spray butter on the popcorn so I can have the butter-salt seasoning to stick. No pun intended.

The Harry Potter books are amazing. They are the best books I've ever read and whenever i read a book that is not part of the Harry Potter series I dont like it as much as I no I would have if I hadn't had such high expectations. So all i do is wait for the next Harry Potter book to come out so i can read another great book that will last me until the next one comes out. The only thing i'd like Rowling to do is write a little faster!

This is a difficult book to write a review for.I agree with most/all of what the author writes but found the style highly annoying. The book contains huge amounts of waffle and very little real advice.I am using Neurofeedback for personal growth and hopped this would have some practical advice. There was very little of this.I understand it is difficult with an area like this to not be a bit of a salesman but way too much sales going on here.

I bought this saw just to have a handy second saw in the garage. I figured the storage case would be handy, as it would be on the shelf most of the time. The storage case is pathetic. It takes longer to figure out how to put the saw back into the case than it does to go out to the shop and get my other saw. I'd give the case a negative star, the saw is about a 2 star.

My first littermaid device lasted about 10 years. It was excellent and I recommended it highly to others.I was really excited to get what I thought was the new and improved model. I think the new design is much cheaper and doesn't work 1/2 as well. The litter keeps getting stuck in the grates on one side and I'm not finding it cleans and rakes the clumps as well at all. I have tried using more and less litter to see if anything makes a difference.I would prefer it if they brought back the original version of this device. For $200, I am disappointed and frustrated with this latest model.

Delivery was prompt."Ancient Voices- Stonehenge" was completely lacking in scientific value. I had purchased it to show to my seventh grade Geography class, and even the students saw it as quite poor. It is full of production values with night time shots with plenty of smoke and back lighting. Unfortunately, it contained almost none of the latest research, and instead speculated in the "Could it be" nonsense.This video is not worth buying.

Yes, all prior reviews are true and the historical contextis accurate. Bossa Nova was revolutionary and Jobim a geniusand I hope he is inducted into the Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame soon, as one of the most brilliant of all composers of the 20th century. This CD is essential for all of us who love Bossa Nova and know it well. A word of caution, however, for our younger music lovers. Do not mischaracterize Bossa Nova based on this CD. This orchestratral approach became the basis for much/all of Muzak. And like so much of radical brilliance, became cliche'd. Every businessman who has travelled has also heard these arrangements in Holiday Inn bars all over the US, listen to "Girl from Ipanema" and mourn the passage of time. Some of the beautiful flute "improvisations", actually simple harmonies, are the basis for some of the most bland smooth so-called jazz today. Make sure you also explore CDs that are as impactful in simplicity today as in the 60s, so far truly timeless...An updated context.

Love SNES but sick of Mario, Mario, and more Mario? GET KID DRACULA. It's a comical spoof on the Castlevania series. You get to fly, upside down ceiling walk, shoot little bats and fire balls, and several other powers too. The bosses are inventive and fun to battle. I am picky about games, but this is a gem. If you like vampires, or Mario, or any combination of the two, this game is right down your alley. Old school classic that no true gamer should miss.

No! This is not the greatest Firebird on a disc! The conductor is so unknown, I thought this was a Herbert Von Karajan student or even an Alexander rahbari student conducting but it isn't. This is some guy I've never heard of named Dmitry Kitajenko. Ignore the reviews the other 2 Josh Rappaports wrote. I get bored with the slow pacing. Take either Stravinsky's own recording with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Kent Nagano's recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, or Pierre Boulez's recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This is one sedated recording. The only piece I like here is Le Chant du Rossignol! That's the piece which saves the disc from bad sound quality

With each album, Bjork gets bolder and bolder. Her music becomes more and more emotionally powerful. This, her third cd, combines orchestration and strong electronic sounds which create one amazing album. Each song has beautiful melodies and technical sound structures.It Starts you out with the harmonious Hunter, climaxes with the intense Pluto and relaxes and sets you off down stream with the soft, trippy All is Full of Love.Pure music.

It is always true, that the more one plays a game the more problems they should see. This game's pretty graphics can easily hypnotize some gamers. Some other games have also coasted to perfect scores through visuals alone regardless of actual gameplay. Sadly for gamers, the main game hides many serious issues unless one is attentive to what is actually going on around them in the world. [...] Early on, these player could see the poor AI and problems with control of units. These troubles alone should have pushed RTW down to 3 stars. Now other major problems and bugs have surfaced that simply end the game for those aware of them. These issues are very serious and kill the whole POINT of the game! Remember - A flower may be pretty, but that does not amount to much if it also STINKS.

This is my favorite and IMO the best Beck album. Im not a huge fan of his goofy techno dabbling that are often hit or miss and an acquired taste. This album is a lot more instrumental in the traditional sense. There is still techno dabbling, but it is kept in the background to Beck's monotone singing and his acoustive guitar. There is even some slide guitar used on the 3rd or 4th song.The only detraction is the depressing nature of the album and the fact that some of the acoustic pieces sound a little similar.This is the album that shows Beck is capable of writing a very good song and isnt just a gimmicky artist who hides behind studio controls and effects.Highlights: Doint Time, Lost Cause, The Golden Age, Lonesome Tears

Bertine's first album, Morbid Latenight Show, is truly amazing. Her loungy 60's pop infused with 90's dance beats and her beautiful voice make this a perfect CD for driving, hanging out, dancing, laying in your room, or whatever!! Unfortunately her US label dropped her after this release. If you get a chance, track down her two follow-up releases Beautiful So Far & Sweet Injections -- these can usually be found on the European Amazon sites. She's also currently working on her fouth album.

Like some reviewers have said, this book has a deja vu feeling. The plot isn't anything unique, but the relationship is very steamy and seductive. I didn't think the book was bad or boring, just predictable and too detailed. Some parts were better than others, and I really loved them. But others were obvious and expecting. Sometimes a character would go on for a looooonnngg paragraph describing what had already been inferred by the reader. But I liked the chemistry between Charity and Simon. I admit, Charity was a little oblivious to things though.

I read this book hoping that it would be in the same class as J Ernst Berendt's books " The Third Ear" and "The World is Sound"This man has a completely narrowminded, and blinkered viewpoint, and if it is something that is not withing his little intellectual fram of reference, then it must be associated with evil. It's more like David Lame than David Tame. His incessant tirade against Jazz and Polyrhythmic structures shows a poor understanding of music as well as a narrowminded bigotry towards non western art forms....what a crock coming form a musical idiot!!!!!

This album is pure junk so if you really want to hear good stuff get something like Nas or get some other stuff thats REAL rap. Not this junk. I would give a -5 if it were available!

I thought this would be a great product to use to clean up pet hair and use on stairs. Wrong! The canister to hold the "dirt" is way too small, you have to empty it with each room! Also when you empty the "dirt" canister, it gets all over everything so if you have allergies to dirt, etc. this will definitely be a problem! The filter is hard to keep clean and the switch is messing up on me already after 2 years. It's just a very messy vacuum cleaner. I guess you "get what you pay for"! I'm going back to a bagged vacuum.

i'm a sucker for any book on the margins between philosophy, social issues and computers, how and why they are shaping us and our communities.this is kind of what the book is about.to get a decent quick view of it, read chapter 10- engineers and artists, i think that the main points are on display here.a few new words like dogfoodable.a few new ideas i want to follow up on: leaking abstractionsit is a watchful eye on a software projection-chandler with the other eye on what it all means. why is interfacing people with machines hard? what is slippage and why it always happens? but basically a beginning analysis of why writing software poses some curious philosophic and practical issues.i liked the book, a worthwhile read, look at chapter 10 and see if it warrants your time as well.thanks for reading this review.

The movie was funny and I liked it, but about middle ways it started acting up. It took a long time to get to the end. It would stop and start...a lot

Yes, it is completely true what the other reviewers have pointed out - this book has RIDICULOUS standards that no human being could possibly live up to. When I first purchased this book (luckily second-hand so I didn't pay full price) I was very excited about having a wealth of knowledge and recipes at my fingertips. But as soon as I started reading it, it just made me feel so guilty and horrible about everything I ate before I knew I was pregnant, and also what I was expected to do now that I know. Talk about ruining the experience! I even tried some of the recipes in the book - the veggie soup was bogus and "FUDGE BROWNIES"??? Give me a break, those were the most disgusting things I have ever tried to eat. They were not chocolately in the least but rather tasted like some kind of fig bars. Just listen to your body and your doctor's advice and skip this piece of trash!

I ordered this movie because it was shot on location where I work. Point Reyes National Seashore. The film is great fun. Each year I have a fog party and show it. The I send my guests out into the real fog. I live in the foggiest place on the west coast. Good cast.

This DVD has good video quality. Audio is adequate but Dolby 5.1 would have been great. Lack of subtitles is puzzling but not a deal-breaker.

This is my far the most boring epidemiological text I have ever read. The author fails to correctly explain terms that he uses and displays a lot of arrogance on his part (i.e. "obviously this is blah blah blah" occurs 2-4 times in every page. This is supposed to be "an introductory text" and should help/facilitate learning of epidemiology for the beginning student. The author does not explain new terms in complete sentences but in a philosophical manner, has too many poor as well as good examples, and tries to elucidate mathematical logic with overly wordy descriptions. C'mon, just show us how it is used without making us read a whole page about it! After reading chapter 3 and 4, I can honestly say that I will NEVER read another book by Rothman again. That's my 2 cents.

Watched this with my mom and four aunts. Totally a chick-flick. Good story, worth watching. Any movie with Colin Firth is! right?

I am 20 years old (as of 2011) and every time I listen to Modern Talking, images from the past are recalled back in my mind. Those beautiful time of the early growing up teen ages. I swear no matter which direction music is trending, Modern Talking is here to stay... in my mind.

I just returned my second Cuisinart DCG-12BC Coffee Grinder, there will not be a third one. Both of the grinders lasted less than 6 uses. Each time the grinder failed I was almost done grinding. I did not take time to disassemble the unit but my assumption is that they have a faulty thermal limiter: the unit starts to heat up and the thermal limiter, a safe fuse, pops. Once the internal fuse shorts out it is back to the store or back to the manufacturer. I highly recommend you do not waste your time with this faulty product.

The best price for a quality item. I'm on my second spindle and have yet to come across a bad disc. I will definitely continue to purchase these.

I loved all of the characters but was never sure where we were going with Manek (Mike). I wish I had know that there was a glossary at the end before I finished the book. I think the characters were built on the previous book so now I'll go back and read that one. I want more by this author - great. And were are the Parcees from?

YES Tom - we get that a cross country road trip is tedious. YES Tom - we get that intelligence work is tedious. We don't have to experience it for ourselves.The book started off well enough and the concept is interesting. But, quickly the book bogged down into 200+ pages of bad dialog and whining about the above mentioned topic.While much better than Red Rabbit, this book is still far worse than any of his books prior that.

Just gave these movies to my Hot Wheel crazed son for his 5th birthday and we spent the afternoon watching them. The last movie ends wide open to another show.......but when I check online they never made one!!! Now my son is sad and has put a black mark on his birthday. They should either stop selling these or put a disclaimer in for parents that their children will be asking them questions for the next year about what happens to Vert and you won't have an answer because they never made an ending to the stupid show!!!! Do not buy!!!!

This book details the selection process of Supreme Court nominees from 1945 to the present. The book focuses on the President and his decision process in selecting nominees. While there is solid analysis of the nominating process, the real value of this book is its inside historical narration of the nomination process. Overall the book is lucid and well written. For anyone interested in the Supreme Court this book is a must read.

Mary Ellen Flora has presented the ancient mysteries in modern, easy to read language. I read this book when it was first published about 20 years ago, and have used these great techniques every day since. What a gift of transformation. The author encourages you to develop your own one-to-one relationship with your God. This book makes communion with God simple. Ask God if this book is right for you....

The poop without this product smells better than with the product. Th Odor remover also gives me a throbbing headache. You might try it and see for yourself.

While not as funny as some of the previous seasons, Psych still makes us laugh every time. Shawn and Gus are great together, and the back-and-forth between the characters delivers, even if the plots don't tickle your funnybone.I know some people didn't like it, but the "Hangover"-themed episode made us laugh till our sides hurt.

I was amazed to learn that this movie was shown to my 12 year old daughter, without my knowledge, in a school health class to illustrate pecking order. It cheapens the original and should definitely not be shown to children younger than 16 or 17. I would have given it no stars, but that wasn't an option.

I don't iron much but you have to have one in the house because after six months you have more clothes in the ironing section of your closet than you have to wear. I have always been a marathon ironer and I just got around to using it yesterday. I tried to open the attached top to put the distilled water in and it popped off and flew across the room, fortunately I found it before the cat. The cord is far too short and it doesn't want to return to its home by 8".I also think I could have done better sprinkling the clothes than just using the steam. Disappointed in PanasonicIt will do since it is here and I will only use it a few times a year, but I would not purchase this iron again.

Yah, this thing is a fair challenge to put together and it looks really nice when it's finished but the launches really suck. It never flies straight up. It always flies to one side or another and the glider just tumbles to the ground. If it detaches from the main booster at all. It should be called a tumbler instead of a glider. The fact that the launch stinks like month old milk greatly takes away from all the hard work put into it's construction. I'm ticked off I wasted a portion of my life putting this thing together. It could be that I just don't have the model assembly know how to get this thing flying rite. but I don't believe that this is the case. all and all I think this thing is junk but ever one will see thing differently. you might love it. But as for me.... I Gives it two thumbs way the hell down....
