This is a powerful book that tells the simple truth. It takes you into the world of the holocaust that is very real and a part of our past. I learned alot and gained an understanding of what happened not too long ago that has affected generation after generation. I actually had the opportunity to meet Elizabeth Jaranyi and I was put to awe with her incredible stories and strength that seemed to come through her writing as well as speach. I am haunted by the past and have a deep respect for all who had to experience such a horrible part of human history. This book is more than a story, it is a first hand experience and it sweeps you away leaving you with a new perspective and new respect for life.

Beginner rider not too worried about weight/aerodynamics. Looking for something that could hold keys/tool/phone/id/spare tubes works fine. It is a bit of a tight fit to get it all in there but i think the bigger size would be too much free space. I have the topeak alien II 26 tool thing and it fits in there with my spare tubes if i arrange them just right. Overall perfect for what I need and a decent price

Hunger Games is enjoyable. I read all the books and was pleasantly surprised by the movie. I found it very entertaining and there was enough of subtle hints and clues dropped here and there for future movies to make them even more interesting. Definitely recommend. But the books are still better; nevertheless, I have never seen a movie that was better than the book. Enjoyable! :)

this was Pete Steele's band in the 80's before Type O Negative were around. as a matter of fact, their first album Slow Deep And Hard unofficially, was actually supposed to be Carnivore's third album. anyway, Carnivore only put out 2 albums. their self-titled debut was ok, but this 2nd album was far superior. in fact, I think Retaliation is probably one of the most under-rated albums that came out on Roadrunner records in the late-80's. pure early crossover NYC thrash/punk. its right up there with albums by The Accused, Crumbsuckers, DRI, and Gang Green.

This model (FF 140) is an entry level fish finder, but it does everything I need for a day of fishing. It has a very large read-out screen. The specs say the screen is 4", but it is actually 4.7" when measured diagonally (the way ALL screens are measured).I use it in the Harbor (saltwater) and in the local lakes (fresh water) and it has never failed to show me everything I need to know whether anchored, drifting or going 30 M.P.H.I highly recommend Garmin. I bought Garmin because I heard nothing but bad things about Hummingbird finders. I'm glad I bought Garmin.

This is a really good read! Granted I'm a Napoleonic buff, but this is the second book I've read by Mark Urban (The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes). I'm really impressed by the readability and detail of his work, and that does not always go together in non-fiction.

I have purchased this exact product for at least 10 years for my daughter, as she loves them. For some reason even after returning and trying again, these did not fit. She has NOT lost weight, her foot has not changed. She just kept walking out of the heel but the length was ok. We returned them AND had to pay for shipping again. WeJungle Moc Nubuck Kids by Merrell are very disappointed. A few years ago she told me she felt the quality of them changed for the worse, didn't last as long but she still loved them. NOw it seems she will have to find an alternative. So sad.

I feel like I'm sleeping in a plush little nest, so comfortable and supportive in all the right places. I can see how other reviewers have said the cover isn't the softest, and yes is a bit tight in the u-end of the pillow. I find it most comfortable with my shoulders on top of the U with a flattish down pillow on top of the Leachco pillow. The extra elevation helps my sinuses and alleviates the shoulder in the u-seam problem others have noted. Very happy with this pillow.

OK. I really enjoyed the first two Odd Thomas books, but this one's just not as good. Odd leave his hometown for a Catholic retreat, and bumps his way around a snowbound weird murder mystery. There's an bony monster sprung from unconvincing quantum theory that slumps around a not too exciting plot. Odd is still a very likable hero and there's some nifty and memorable one liners. Koontz does have a nice turn of phrase here and again, but the lack of excitement in this thriller... lead to my 2 star rating.

I bought this seat and the Britax Roundabout at the same time. The Britax was going to be for the main car and the Graco for the occassional car. The Britax is awesome, worth every penny. The features etc are not found on any other seat. The Graco Comfortsport has a really nice padding, but that's where is stops. In the rear facing installation, you have to put a rolled up towel under it for stability (no kidding, it is in the instructions). Also, once the seat is LATCHed in, you cannot get to the belt to pull the straps tight or release them. I owned this seat for four hours and promptly returned for a second Britax. Save yourself the hassle and buy a Britax.

This wannabe Blair Witch video is mostly about a team of gay men who visit another gay man and a lesbian in a trailer park, who then recounts a haunting. I love gay people like any others, but the male characters are over the top effeminate and ruin the movie. This seemed much more like a community college drama club project than a straight (using the term lightly) to video movie. If you are looking for something in this genre, then obviously the Blair Witch is your first stop, then Paranormal Activity. After that, the quality of these films plummets from tolerable (The Fourth Kind) to unwatchable (lthis one).

This album is a must have for people that truly love great r&b music. All of the songs that are on this album are true masterpieces. This group represents an era when the beats were infectious, and made you wanna get up and dance. The sound quality is exceptional-even though they are older recordings, the remastering has really treated these songs with much deserved respect. Midnight Star was, and will always be one of my fave r&b groups of the '80s.

this was exactly what i wanted! i could not find it in stores, and with the price of gas as it is, its silly to drive around looking for small items like this! plus i tried and had to return them!

Now i can listen to books while i travel since reading and driving is not recommended (ha ha)and not worry about the MP3 running out juice before i reach my destination!

I've been wearing this perfume since 2003 and the product that I purchased from Aromadiscount is not the same product that I'd buy in the mall. The smell is off and the perfume inside the bottle has a yellow color to it. I heard that this perfume is being discountinued and at Christmas time some department stores were not even stocking it. So I figured I'd buy 2 bottles to have for the future. I'm very disappointed in this purchase. It's a total knock-off. It doesn't even deserve to get 1 star.

I hadn't seen this movie in 20+ years and decided to pick it up. It turned out to be alot better than I remember it being. Its one of those bloodless horror movies they use to make and yes, the acting is lousy, but the Car is the star. The cinematography is good and, as others have pointed out, the car is more of an animal than a machine. As far as the physical contents and packaging goes I was happy to see this movie in a plastic box rather than those card board things they put older movies in.Fun movie.

This book will introduce you to the political side of the music industry while exposing you to the formulas for success that many major record labels use. It is NOT an easy read. The author's writing style is very clinical and at times, not very reader friendly. But if you are starting a label that you want to compete with the most successful ones, this book will provide you with some eye opening information about the processes used.

With the caliber of musicians playing on this album, I expected a hard hitting original. Instead we get re-arranged covers and lots of "filler" salsa. No surprises here. The classic salsa albums are worth your cash but if you are curious, you'll play this one once.

Superb book on the problems leading to infertility and what can be done to resolve these. The section on Male Infertility was enlightening--and a must-read for all couples struggling to have a baby. So often we look at the woman when conception does not occur--and half the time it's a "male" problem. Get it checked out--because there is treatment, according to these authors. I was most impressed with the natural therapies sections in the book--and the part on reducing stress was most helpful for me and my wife.

The watch , which is obviously a knock off of a Rolex Submariner, has a good feel to it, and is nice looking to wear.Don't expect Rolex performance....it gains about a minute a day with my activity pattern. It runs down if you don't wear it for a day or two. Frankly, I'd pay a little more and get a Citizen Eco model...I have one of those which is better quality and keeps perfect time no matter what. I can only give this a "so, so" recommendation.

Kylie's ninth studioalbum and it's getting better & better. Fever was a smash-hit worldwide and everyone wondered how she would follow up that success, "Body Language" is the answer! This time is the sound a little bit softer but still very "electric". The first single "Slow" is very sexy with breathing vocals. Chemical Brothers made a remix of that song and it's very popular on the dance charts. The second single "Red Blooded Woman" is a R n'B influenced song with the catchy lyrics "You'll never get to heaven if you're scared of getting high". The video is stunning and Kylie proofs that she's here to stay! Once you hear Red Blooded Woman you'll never get it out of your head!Body Language is different from Fever but it may be Kylie's best album so far.

This is an immense improvement over the last version of the topo, which had almost no roads listed by name. The product is easy to use, is intuitive, and makes mapping out routes, seeing trails taken, and finding GPS coordinates a cinch.My only complaints:1) its 100K:1 so the detail is obviously lacking. It's good enough for basic stuff, but there are times that I'm kayaking thru solid/wetlands, or there are streams shown on the map that sure are invisible to my eyes.2) it still seems not to be fully up to date, be it water, land or streets. Its certainly not up to date as of late 2007.But, overall it adds a lot of extra value to having a GPS on the water and trail, and I make heavy use of it.

These sphere's are absolutely perfect and look stunning in the window with our holiday decorations. I am going to be so sad when they have to come down, although I've read that some keep them up year round, which I would love to do! The wire and a string is provided from the top, so do be sure you have proper hooks or suction cups for this. I would've given these 5 stars, however, they are slightly overpriced, especially if you are going to buy more than one. After purchasing these here, I did find them on sale elsewhere for about $10 less, which would saved me a lot of money had I found them when I looked....I will say, that they were out of stock of the white/clear lights, which are, in my opinion, the prettiest color!

As usual the reviews here are misleading. This book was an ok read but nothing great. It was too long on mundane discription and too short on plot. And the liberties that the author takes with common sense is shameful. I won't give away what little plot there is except to say that it was unbelievable especially the ending. I wanted to throw the book against the wall on that susposedly dramatic scene. It was so soap opera melodrama. If you like to read books just to see how bad they can get than do buy this one. It started out with so much potential but took the dreaded easy slide into clich`e ville.p.s. just for the record the secondary characters of Jack and Charlotte are the best thing here. Too bad they don't have a book of their own.

This book is unique in that it is the first book that you need that you won't understand. I was directed to purchase this book by a professor who was a student of Layton. I wanted to better understand the gnostic traditions and this book works to explain the gnostic mind in mind-numbing detail. The western, Enlightenment conditioned mind will not easily understand these scriptures because they don't exist in the rubric of rationalism. They are mythology. The gnostic scriptures are more like reading Hesiod's Theogony or Ovid's Metamorphoses than the New Testament. If your goal is to truly understand gnosticism Layton is indespensible. However, if all you want is a general understanding of gnostics, avoid this book. It will only muddy the water. You have been warned.

I can't understand the popularity of these books. The villain is one-dimensional. The children, despite their various "talents" are frustratingly unresourceful. (They're in trouble, they have a sympathetic *judge* who lives next door, yet they never ask her for advice? Perhaps they had their reasons, but they're not articulated, and so they seem rather useless and hard to cheer on.)There's a self-conscious and self-congratulatory cleverness to the writing. It seems "Snicket" just does not respect his audience.Skip this assembly line crap and read quality children's books that deal with the dire fates of orphans so much more satisfyingly.* Noel Streitfield's SHOES series. This writer has a very clear respect for her readers and doesn't indulge in cheap melodrama.* The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken. Very similar themes, but SO MUCH BETTER!

Talk about a waste of money. $9.37 for the two button batteries at the local Rite Aid. Then you almost need to have a jeweler to change the silly things. The screws you need to remove the batteries are very small and unless you have excellent vision you will need a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers to put the screws back. One of the screws holds the fragile battery contact in place. I will never ever buy another timer that uses these expensive batteries. $7.99 for the timer and $9.37 for the batteries...dumb.

Bought this blender after the last one died. I didn't realize how wimpy the old one was until I got this one. My smoothies are no longer lumpy! Plastic lid, glass pitcher,plastic bottom ring. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the the plastic fitting at the bottom. It's a large piece of rigid plastic that I'm afraid will crack or discolor. And, since the color is 1/2 the reason I chose this one, I would hate to see the pink fade.

We were lured in because we like Family Guy, but since there are apparently no rules for making movies, macfarlane used explicit language for shock value instead of doing something clever. There was zero humor and the characters made no sense. Kunis' character, who is put together and supposed to be intelligent, was with the teddy bear and Wahlberg's moronic dead beat character for 4 years because he was hot?! Don't get the Flash Gordon cocaine thing... Very random...Probably a guy with too much money, backing, and no ideas making a movie...

If you've read the book then you'll probably agree that there are a lot of original elements to the story. Unfortunately, as very frequently happens when books are turned into movies all the originality was sucked out of the plot...maybe for the sake of easy money. Or maybe because the producers thought they could do better. Sort of arrogant considering that I Am Legend is a classic. Anyway, if you liked the book and are similarly irritated when that kind of thing happens then don't depress yourself by watching this movie. If you aren't bothered by predictable storylines though and just want something with action in it then you'll probably like it.

I have 3 kids ages 5 and under... this is my lifesaver! This is such a great tool for quick cleaning up of crumbs after meals/snacks and even craft activities. I only use it on our hardwood floors and leave the carpet for our Dyson. If you are in need of something to leave things spotless, I suggest a broom and mop. But, if you want something that can pick up 99% of crumbs so you aren't tracking them around, this has worked well for us! :) (My 4 & 5 year old kids also love to use it, with supervision... bonus!)

I was looking for an exercise machine that would help me keep in shape and tone my body. The 1100 fits the bill just right. Cost was under $200 and I have used the machine almost daily since I got it. I have used it mostly for upper body strength and I can state that it has helped me achieve that goal. I think that for many people getting a more expensive machine might be overkill. I does require some room so keep that in mind. I don't store it away and it takes up to about 8 feet in length. Best $200 I have spent in a long time. Very happy with it. PS. If you want big muscles look for something different since this is in my opinion, geared for tone and definition of the body.

It also tells you about how it was to be A knight at the round table.I think it was A good book overall. The book was A good book because it told you about all the knights and what it took to be A knight.

They will barely last 2 hours in our wireless audio packs (ear buds) and when I use them for my electric bass wireless transmitter device they barely get through 30 minutes of use per charge. Since we have three services and practice that morning as well, these batteries do not cut it.We found these Digimate 280mAh rechargeable 9v's that work much better... we can get two complete weekends from one charge on these... plus, they were only $5 each.

I just returned this bread machine (CBK-200) after using it for 1 month and about 7 loaves.It made the standard whole wheat breads well.However, when I tried making the "sweet" breads, it burned the sides and bottom. I'm an experimenter so I tried several different adjustments without much improvement. This problem seems to be common based on other reviews.The last straw was when I was cleaning it and simply lifted the door, the plastic hinge broke on the right side. It is clear from the design that it is made in a way that should allow you to "easily" remove the lid for cleaning. The problem is that it also easily breaks - again, seems to be a common problem.So, the 2 stars is for not being able to handle sweet breads, possibly others too, and poor quality (i.e. the plastic hinge breaks easily).

Give me a break with this outrageous novel. The characters are so unbearable that you want to punch someone or rip the book to pieces with your teeth. Oliver and Charlie (the main characters) act more like lovers than brothers. They touch each other tenderly, can read each other's thoughts and communicate just by looking at one another. Obviously Meltzer never had any real-life brothers. And the plot? Anyone who ever worked at an investment bank would realize that this "scam" is akin to saying you're going to dress up like the Pope, sneak into the Vatican and steal all the gold bullion they have locked in the Papal safe (Don't steal that idea Brad). Save yourself, I wasted ten bucks, don't you. Re-read Nelson Demille's 'The Gold Coast' or how bout 'Bonfire of the Vanities' or buy 'The Corrections'.

I read the review in the Dallas News Readers Section, Immediately "one click" ordered it from Amazon.com and read it within a week of ordering it. I enjoyed it very much and will read it several more times. Mr. Watt has truly captured the climate of the Henderson County of the 1950s that I remember. I am a year or two older than he, but, as a resident of a near by small Henderson County town during those times, I remember yearning for and saving for firearms in Spencer's Hardware and have even attended some of the churches he describes so well. I relived the effect the mind-set of the condesending old church elder he describes as well as the shadow religious ferver can cast over a family. There is no way I can describe how well he captures the climate of the times and I wish I had the ablility to express myself with such honesty and integrity. He is such a powerful writer. This is a great book...one to treasure and keep.

As a prospective first-time property purchaser, I found this book to contain some good information on the particulars of condos and townhouses. I did not read the section on Co-ops however. Parts of the book seemed to contain redundant information, not necessarily for emphasis. Perhaps the chapters were intended to be somewhat self-contained. "Buying a home for Dummies" has been my first resource. I'd recommend reading something like it first in order to fully appreciate the differences w/condos and townhouses described in this book.

A friend lent me Anastacia's first CD years ago and I was amazed by her voice. On a recent trip to Europe, I found this album in one of the music stores and since then have become a true Anastacia fan. This is definitely her best album to date, and one of the greatest rock albums put out in a long time. There isn't one track that I skip on this cd! It is a wonder how an artist as talented as Anastacia is so overlooked in the U.S.

I've used this camera for 6 years. Last year I started getting intermittant "Remove the Cassette" messages. I wish I had captured the outstanding three recorded tapes onto my PC then. Instead I recorded another 45 minutes. Now, the error message is solid, no matter which tape I use.My experience with Canon in the past has taught me not to waste the time or the money to bother having this repaired. (I spent about $700 having my previous Canon Camcorder repaired. It worked a few weeks and died again each time.)Having gone to the web to research this bug, I'm convinced fixing this one will be an expensive and time consuming exercise in futility. (6 weeks plus turn around! and Canon won't tell how much the average repair cost is. Check the web .. $500+ )Lesson learned. I'll be shopping a different manufacturer. Sony? JVC? Never again Canon.

[butt]-ugly!I could go on forever!Get WWF No Mercy or WCW Revenge if you want a good wrestling game.This game sucks.Dont get it or you will be sorry!

I used to discount trumped-up charges of marxism, etc., against Senator Clinton, believing they were unnecessary attempts to besmirch her reputation; she does a better job on her own. But after going through this book I am compelled -- and frightened -- to admit that she is at least a socialist. Witness her recent statements in San Francisco that tax cuts would be cancelled "for the public good." Who can fail to recognize the communistic sentiment behind it?Mrs. Clinton is a dangerous wielder of power. Like her husband, though, she is a master at using the media to her best advantage; powermongers usually are, and it is abominable that the masses are so easily duped, yearning for elected officials to be their knights and rescuers, to the extent of forfeiting personal freedom to unprincipled demagogues posing as "public servants."Sad, sad, sad.

Very poorly written. Thin plot, no character development, writing is very amateurish. Really doesn't deserve even one star.

Worth the price???. . . Not so much!the "stories" are very very short and have very little substance.the author is not even a ghost hunter. it's like the publisher's paid this guy to go all over the US w/ his wife and dig up popular folk lore.

First cable - Only lasted two weeks. During these two weeks, when I moved the cable a bit, the video feed shuts off. Eventually, it just died.Second cable - Sent promptly by Amazon, one-day shipping on them. Dead on arrival. Tested with a friend's DVI cable, worked flawlessly.I noticed that there are several reviews about DOAs lately - must been a bad production batch or something.Got the third cable on the way, hopefully, it will work this time.Edit: The third cable worked. Continue to work even when I move the cables around a bit. I think the third time is a charm :P

Awesome read. Full of action and great characters. Kim has created a very cool and believable world here. Jinks is my favorite and now I want a pixy too! :)

DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE. I am a big fan of the Far Cry games but this movie is crap. Plus the only way they are gonna make any money off this movie is by sueing people. Let them make their money that way since they can't make good movies. For the sake of all the people being sued by these idiots DO NOT buy this movie.

I had a tough time finding this, its apparently out of print and no one sells it used. If you can find a copy- grab it! Scary style; Charles Grant always spooks! One of the better books in the Night Visions series.

This film was atmospherically stunning! The special effects were near perfect, and I havn't been more disturbed by a film in years.The actors were wonderful, the dubbing worked quite well, and in certain parts it even look like they've used slide film.I am by far one of the biggest horror/ gore junkies I know, and I have to say this is the best film i've seen yet, from unearth films.The director did an amazing job, and I can't understand why the last person would give such a bad review other than ignorance and perhaps feeling uncomfortable during the homosexual parts.

Overall, it was great. I, being a hardcore Tolkien fan, judged the movie with an extremely critical eye. The songs were well done. And the animation was o.k. It really only has one plot conflict,that being that they totally left out Beorn. Oh, yeah , the elves could have been portrayed better. They look like blue ants that got tangled up in the machinery of a textile mill. Gollum was wonderful.

There are only 2 good songs on this album: "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". Both are availible on her "Ultimate Kylie" compilation, so there's no need to purchase this album. Well, "Love Boat" is also okay, but you don't NEED to own it.

If you think the idea of watching a 40-something-year-old man attempt to minimalize his life to the nth degree could just be quirky enough to be interesting, think again. Written and directed by Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale), Greenberg is an exercise in cinematic endurance that tests the audience's patience to the breaking point. How long you last will depend on how interested you can force yourself to be in the lives of Greenberg and the people he passes along the way. Chances are you will snap long before the movie stumbles to its pretentious ending.[...]

I have been wondering why anyone would pay over 70.00 to 180.00 for Rawhead Rex? Don't get me wrong I love this movie and the story in Books of Blood...I have been looking for this movie for a long time to add to my collection and after checking a lot of web sites I found the movie and it only cost me 13.00. It is a rare copy and hard to find print,but yet again for people to be charging as much as they are for just a movie I find that ridiculous....if I were to really spend that amount it had better be signed by Clive Barker and incased in gold.

Hilarious! I loved this unique, quirky take on vampire life. Betsy is a shallow, materialistic girl who happens to get run over and wakes up a vampire. After several failed attempts to make herself dead for good, she decides her life doesn't really have to change even though she now craves blood. I found the dialogue in this book laugh-out-loud funny! I can't wait to read about more of Betsy's exploits!

Hi, I have never written any reviews and don't plan on making a habit of it, but I know what it is to be truly heartbroken. I want to help you in any way I can because I know what you are going through. I have read every book on the subject that is out there, believe me. If you are really hurting, this book is not for you. It does not give you practical advice to help you get through the hurt. It's goal is to make you laugh and even at that, when you are hurting so badly, that is hard to do. I recommend two books for you: "You Didn't Complete Me" and "It's Called a Break-up because it's Broken." These were much more helpful to me.

A OK game. The missions are OK. But some of it is complrtrly screwed up. You now have to defeat a bose every level that is 10x more powerful than anything else(he can take like 2 rocket hits.) All the melee attacks are bassicaly the same. And you're squad is made up of people from a retard house. The multiplayer is OK, only if you have LOTS of people. The overal game is alright, but just needs some tweaking.

Anyone who is interested in bamboo will want The Craft & Art of Bamboo by Carol Stangler readily at hand! She looked North and South, East and West for her resources and inspirations. And she knew who to include, some of the greats in the field of working with bamboo -- among them, David Flanagan (the Bamboo Fencer), Yucatan Bamboo, and Doug Lingen and Reed Hamilton of the Bamboosmiths. The reader may not need or be attracted to each project (with 30 in all, she offers a BIG range to choose from!), but there is a great deal of information to be gleaned from each one. The chapters on harvesting and tools alone are sufficiently full of information to make the very reasonable purchase price worthwhile. This would be a great gift, for yourself or for any woodworker-crafter.

I was terribly disappointed with the Pucci bikini I received. It was a completely different pattern, with different colors than the item I ordered from the picture on Amazon. The bikini was also 100% see-through. I returned the item to Amazon in September 2006 and I still haven't gotten my refund and it is now November 2006.

This is a wonderful collection of music. The only instruments are the male voices and the effect is hypnotic. Light some candles, get out a book, and turn on this CD!

This air pillow provides an adjustable amount of support, and was very comfortable under my back all night. I used it while sleeping, and loved it when I first bought it. But, here we are 6 weeks later, and the pillow is leaking air at an increasing rate. The nozzle looks fine, so maybe it leaks along a seam. I'm extra bummed, because it is made in USA, and I always expect good quality from us. Today I bought the OPTP Pillow which is also made by McKenzie. Costs twice as much, so maybe it is better made. Got my fingers crossed!

And, unfortunately, he's not that interesting. If he weren't running for president, I would have chucked the book after Indonesia. Black, white, black, white...whine, whine...yawn.This man has no acomplishments to justify anyone voting for him.

Norris has a gift for cutting right to the heart of the matter. She says in two to ten pages what others need chapters to say. Each section of this book causes one to pause and reflect. I chose it as a Holy Week meditation exercise, and I count my blessing with every page turn.

To start off, I really like this game. It is fun and entertaining, and still keeps me amused after I have beaten it. But it could have been much better if there were a few more features. For one, this game has no multiplayer, with is a major downside. Second, there is no option to just roam around the city, which I would have loved. And third, the game is too short, with only 30 missions, most of which are fairly easy to beat. My advice, RENT THIS GAME FIRST, and if you want a short but fun game, buy it.

This book does a wonderful job explaining database systems using Java. I have read many books on the subject and this is the best one I have found.

I was diagnosed with coeliac/celiac (spelling depends on which side of the Atlantic you are on) as an infant. Inadvertantly (on reflection) given the green light to eat gluten when I was 12 and then back to full-blown Coeliac/Celiac 20yrs later. Growing up in Europe it was much easier to live gluten-free. However, I bought this book to help make the adjustment to living gluten-free in the US. This book just broke my heart in terms of an overzealous mother who I was relying on to help and this book failed in so many ways. Knowing the way of gluten-free, I really felt this book misguided at best. Please find another way than buy this book.A little trick, internet searches using the European spelling "COELIAC" will guide you to sites, agencies etc that have more information. The US is a great place but behind the 8-ball on Celiac and this author, epitomizes such.

The first few times I used this, it was great, but I just pulled it out after about a month of not using it, and the spongy pad thing crumbled apart as I tried to use it. When I inspected it with my fingertip, it left black smudges on my skin. The brush end is fine, I guess.

Kiss have more compliation albums than I have had hot dinners. This is just a rehash of other compliation albums. Nothing new here. Double Platinum is far better

It's really too bad that the editors of this viedo were more interested in the crowd and circa 1990 Bon Jovi camera angle changes every 2 seconds then they were the guys. No, it's not bad, but it fails to convey the energy like the previous DVD did.If you had to buy only one Rage DVD, buy the one before this one. It illustrated the energy as well as the crowd far better.This DVD is so polished it's uncharacteristically synthetic for Rage.That said, the sound is outstanding and they're still angry. And they use the media mogules against themselves which I respect.
