5 | Super Product | I love these headphones. They cannot be beat for the price & quality.If you pay more for better phones you are wasteing your money as faras I am concerned. The sound quality is super, very good Bass reproduction.They perform as represented in their description. They are easy to hook upas they are supplied with several different adapters. I initionally hadquite a time figureing out how to access the Right Ear headphone until Istarted to pull on the padded earpiece, this released the pad from the hardplastic caseing. Once you figure that out the rest of the installation isa breeze.I also charged the batteries as they suggested for the amount of timeas stated in the manual. I would recommend these Headphones to anyone. Readthe manual & do what it says. Setting the phones on the base unit for chargingmight be tricky for some. Just pay attention on how they are oriented when youplace them & no problems should be experienced as some of the reviews mention.Go for it . | 975 | [

5 | Simple, functional, and looks good | The box from FedEx suffered some damage, but the unit was in good shape. Putting it all together and attaching it to the car was quick and easy... took about 15 minutes. The bikes easily strap down to the rack and come off just as easy. There was some slight wobble to the unit at a joint in the vertical post, but nothing to be concerned about. When you're not carting bikes around, the mounting portion folds down, and the whole unit can tilt back to about a 45 degree angle for easy access to the trunk of your car.Lately I've been taking a closer look at bike mounts on other cars, and this one looks a lot nicer that just about any other brand I've seen. The only minor problem is that there really isn't any way to burglar-proof the bikes unless you somehow chain them to some part of the frame of your car, but this is probably an issue with just about any bike mount. Just don't leave them out of sight for too long. Overall, I would highly recommend this Allen rack. | 975 | [

5 | Comparable to the Floyd | I first heard this c.d. about a month ago when my history teacher played it for our class. The first thing I thought was, "oh my god; this sounds like Pink Floyd."Well, I can't say I agree with all the people who say that this is the best record of ALL TIME, but I see where this praise is coming from. I'd definitely say it's the best album of the nineties; I usually hate modern music but this album is hope that it doesn't have to be ALL bad.And the fact that I compare Radiohead to the Floyd and OK Computer to Dark Side of the Moon and even The Wall is the highest praise imaginable on my part, considering the fact that I worship the Floyd almost religiously. This album has the feel, the sound, the lyrics, and the whole concept-album thing that was perfected if not pioneered by Pink Floyd. So therefore, if you like this kind of music, if you like to think about what you listen to, if you're even a wee bit open-minded, then buy this album, and you won't regret it. | 975 | [

5 | Fantastic Chillout music | Melody AM is the debut cd by Norwegian duo Röyksopp. It is dreamy (almost haunted), ethereal, electronic, mostly instrumental music, with eerie vocals sweeping in and out in places.`So easy' opens the cd with a stomping beat, beautiful music with vocals rising in and out, sounding like part of the soundscape.`Eple' is a technological wonder, electronica at it's finest. Richly textured, the song sweeps up, down and sideways, with bleeps and soaring synths.`In space' is another beauty, with tumbling sounding keyboards and swooping, electronic strings.`Remind me' reminds me (pun intended) of the Pet Shop Boys in their hey day, razor sharp synth work, a great dance beat, and soothing, easy sounding vocals. One of few sung performances on this cd, the others being `Poor Leno' and the tender `Sparks'.If you love electronic/dance music, and are looking for something different and wildly innovative, it will be tough finding a cd more beautiful and satisfying than this. | 975 | [

5 | Quicksilver Moon | I loved the Ladies of Quicksilver Moon. They were so very real people. Isolde, the "heroine" of this novel, even though a vampire was eerily likable. The way Ms. Ardinger wove the different character stories was a rich tapestry of new and old themes. She portayed each person, be they the sadistic Rev. Mudge to his poor browbeaten followers, as someone you could say, "I know someone just like this."I laughed, cried and shuddered at how these women confronted each of the trials and joys of their lives as Witches in the modern world. The hatred they encountered, the love they shared, the very mundaneness of "Life 101" and the shadows of the past still out to persecute those that follow the Goddess.I will leave you with just this so as not to spoil the fun you will have discovering the quirkiness of the characters and the plot themes. All I will add is that this is one of the best new novels I have read in ages and will definitely re-read it again and again. Enjoy! | 975 | [

5 | Incomparably gorgeous | This album was my introduction to The Magnetic Felds and, though I apparently may be one of a very few people in the world who feel this way, it has remained in my top three favorite albums of all time. All subsequent MF albums have been varying degrees of disappointments (though beguiling, nonetheless,) because of the bar this album set for me. Tokyo A Go Go is the only song I would willingly fast-forward through. Tar-Heel Boy I could also take or leave, but every other song is a stunner. The retro synths and "wall of sound" arrangements forge a distinct space that is both melancholic and disco and, most importantly, create a timeless frame for Anway's vocals, which manage to be simultaneously distant and urgent while conveying what I think are some of Stephen Merritt's strongest works lyrically. These songs shimmer with subtle profundity, longing and ache, playfulness and wistfulness. This is absolute poetry that operates on many levels, disguised as art-pop. | 975 | [

5 | I DID IT! | I did it! I used Mr. Poynter's book as my bible to self-publishing and I am now a published author. After a year of sending out over 300 query letters and sample text to agents and publishers, I decided that I'd had enough. So I saved some money and began the process of publishing my own book. On March 11th, I sent off for my ISBN, and on July 28th - I was a published author! Once I received my numbers, it took four months to the day of publishing the first book, yes first. The second is due out this fall, and the third - next summer.You can shave a lot of money off of the expenses by doing the work yourself. It was a bit scary at first (ie: building a website myself and typesetting myself), but after the first page, I was an expert. (See the novel "Crossing Burning Bridges" sold on this website or my website.) Since I am not able to leave the URL - search the title with yahoo and come see for yourself what you too can do.You can't self-pub without this manual! | 975 | [

5 | Evergreen Tree | For those who enjoyed the first book "Where Do I Sleep" by this author & illustrator team, this second book is a lovely sequel.The artwork is beautiful. The colors are deep as the northwest forest they describe and successfully evoke its atmosphere. The illustrations are more developed than the first book and though not literal in representation, they do illustrate successfully the complexity of the forest ecosystem and give the feeling of being there as the mist rises in the morning.The writing, however, is the main draw to this book. Ms. Blomgren utilizes the same vivid imagery as she did in her first book, "Where Do I Sleep", while giving accurate information:'The Indian pipe with its pale ghostly whiteis fed by the tree roots and needs little light'or of the pine-white butterflies:'...they touch downwhere the sweet sun-filled air meets the canopy's crown.'I recommend this book above many of the children's books out there. It is entertaining and informative. | 975 | [

5 | Great product, great customer service | THE PRODUCT - I was looking for a middle of the road iPod speaker because I wasn't interested in paying $200 for a BOSE iPod speaker. I wanted something small, simple and reasonably priced. THIS IS IT! Don't expect BOSE quality sound, but it is more than adequate for a desktop speaker in an office or to make your 1st gen iPod touch a great alarm clock (which it has inside it, but no built in external speakers to make it useful) Also, this dock is a great way to charge the touch, which does not come with a wall charging adapter.THE CUSTOMER SERVICE - The only glitch in my experience was that the speaker/dock did not come with a universal iPod touch adapter. Your iPod will still attach to the speaker and work fine, and for the most part sit on the dock solidly. But the adapter makes it much more solid. I e-mailed Satechi and asked for an adapter. They CALLED me back, that's right CALLED me back, and offered to send one out free of charge. THAT'S an A+ in my book. | 975 | [

5 | A Truly Magnificent Fairytale | There are two things I love about this movie. First, it is beautiful. The actors are beautiful (especially Dougray Scott). The costumes are beautiful. The scenery is beautiful. Watching this movie, makes me feel as if I am part of the fairytale. Second, this is a great twist on the Cinderella story. We see a girl who has been beaten down in almost all aspects of her life, but does not allow her spirit to be beaten. Trying to save one of her beloved servants (though she has become a servant herself) she goes to court to free him, also meeting the prince. He is, of course, smitten, and she keeps up a masquerade of a lady, in order to continue seeing him. The story follows the basics of the Cinderella tale (slipper, wicked stepmother), but in this case, we have a Cinderella who doesn't need a prince to save her, just to love her for who she is. In any case, this is a wonderful movie. Problems are resolved quickly, and in the end, everyone gets their just desserts. | 975 | [

5 | Finally I Watched the first movie | My mom bought me the first Harry Potter book when it first came out, I loved it and continued to read everybook since then. But I never started watching the movies until "Goblet of Fire" came out, I'm big on reading but not so much on movies coming from books. That being sad, I enjoyed this movie a great deal and it stayed very true to the book in my opinion. At this point everyone knows the story of Harry Potter and his beginnings so I'll skip on that. Luckily the movie jumped right into the plot, they didn't spend too much time on the his life with the Dursley's and touched on the more important scenes. The casting was done well, each of the kids were able to grasp and portray the personalities we've all read in the books, as well as the Hogwarts professors.Reading all of the books before even watching the first movie didn't take away from the excitement of watching Sorcerer's Stone. I think this movie is a great intro into a fun and exciting series of books. | 975 | [

5 | Just beautiful | The music on this album is gorgeous, lush and above all, sincere. That's one of the great things about Queen: Their over-the-top brashness had an equally intense flip side of pure, unabashed feeling that, on ADATR, pours from every note. From rockers like "Tie Your Mother Down" to melancholy like "Drowse" to camp like "Good Old Fashioned..." to the ache of love in all its forms in the three great romantic numbers in the album: "Somebody to Love", that classic rock favorite, and two lesser-known and underrated numbers, "You Take My Breath Away" and "Teo Toriatte", and all the whimsy and pulse-pounding in between. The latter pair represent two reasons why it saddens me that so many Americans aren't well-versed in Queen's entire catalogue as opposed to their handful of big hits. Queen is more than arena/glam rock. Listen to this CD! Forget what you know about the band and let the music flow over you. And I promise, if you weren't a fan before, you will be forever. | 975 | [

5 | A killer! Great instruction. | I first did this workout, also known as Classics Volume 4, years ago. I bought it mainly because Susan Harris was the lead, frankly, and Kai S. is very likable, but I am a member of the S. Harris Fan Club. I was disappointed that Susan's Southern accent was gone on this tape, but her terrific instruction skills are still evident, and Kai is also very good at cuing. It's heavy and the upper body work is a killer. This is also one of the last tapes that doesn't feature an instructor who has implants, and I think that's a good thing. I feel most - not all - of the current Firm instructors have implants, and that promotes unrealistic expectations. Tracie is a terrific instructor, but I would just prefer to see more "natural" women, personally. But that's part of the Firm's marketing - they put these impossible bodies on the cover, and we buy the tapes hoping to one day look like that. The bottom line, however, is that they are very good workouts, for the most part. | 975 | [

5 | The Greatest Movie Ever | This is the greatest movie ever!!! I recommend everyone see it. I don't believe that people understand what Jesus did for us. He gave his life for us, who could never even come close to deserving it. The pain that he went through while people mocked him, spit on him, humiliated him and he didn't have to go through it, but he did because HE LOVES US!This movie gives as accurate portrayal of what Jesus did for us as you can get. James Cavaziel gave an amazing performace. I don't think anyone could have done any better.I believe that Mel Gibson was following GOD in this and I appreciate that someone will stand up for what he believes in and not be ashamed to say that he is a Christian and He loves GOD.As for me, I give it 5 stars, and recommend everyone to watch it. I believe that it will change your life. I am a Christian and had heard the story of Jesus all of my life, but seeing this movie really opened my eyes to what he went through for me, and everyone else. | 975 | [

5 | Very Thorough Collection From Holland | Singles + is a comprehensive review of Sonny & Cher's output from the beginning of their marriage/professional partnership until their divorce in 1974. Collectors of singles and chart hits like myself love compilations like these because *every* song that hit Billboard's Hot 100 by either Sonny & Cher or Cher as a solo artist through 1974 is included here. Granted, one must look elswhere to find Cher's solo outings after 1974, but I suppose the point of the set is to represent recordings during their years as a married couple. Arbitrary cutoff point, perhaps, but, oh well.One point I'd like to clarify from Ward Lamb's otherwise excellent review below. He mentions a less than perfect sonic rating for this set. I'm not familiar with these ratings or standards, but to the extent one infers that the sound quality of this collection is substandard, never fear, the songs sound great. Perhaps not audiophile quality, but any casual listener will be more than satisfied. | 975 | [

5 | Nero Wolfe is Timeless Enjoyment | If you want mindless action then leave now, Nero Wolfe mysteries are not for you. If, however, you have a love of classic detective fiction, a mind to appreciate a fine puzzle solving, a taste for gourmet meals, fine living and excentric characters--then Wolfe is your man! The most delightful thing about Rex Stouts novels is their period flavor. Stout wrote Wolfe as a "contemporary detective" and began his writing career in the first half of this century. A prolific writer, Stout has brought Wolfe across the decades from the WWII era to the disco days. Each novel is a unique period piece of masterful puzzle solving by a marvelously enjoyable cast of characters. Archie and Wolfe never seem to age as they cope with the times, their clients and each other in each new volume, and to the reader this is not incongruous--they are that easily well loved! Nero Wolfe will go down in history with Mycroft Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Sam Spade and Jessica Fletcher as a Classic! | 975 | [

5 | Ever Wonder What Makes YOU Tick? | Let's face it, we all love to be our own doctors. The inquisitiveness of the human race means that we are always wanting to know more about the unknown. Without a doubt, one of the biggest unknowns is just what makes up the human body. With the ADAM Student Atlas of Anatomy, that question can now be answered in full colored detail.This book was obviously designed for students in the medical field, but I also think this is a perfect coffee table book for households who encourage open thinking and discussion. Why do I say this? Because this book goes into sometimes vivid detail on how our bodies are put together, and some people, sadly, just can't handle that type of stuff. For the other 99% of us, this book would get more attention than anything else you could possibly put on your coffee table!The rich colors, true photos in some cases, and attention to detail really set this book apart. It's a book I can say with all honesty I'll be "reading" for years to come. | 975 | [

5 | LADD'S IMMORTAL CLASSIC WESTERN | A masterpiece of simplicity, this picture practically stands as a legend among films. Rather than avoiding the cliches, platitudes and stereotypes of the Western genre, "SHANE" EMBRACES them; everything in the film favours its treatment as a myth (and it became a cult classic for the very reason that it worked beautifully!) SHANE was made in 1953 and today it can still be counted as a national treasure! A classic, flawless western has Ladd cast as a retired gunfighter who comes to the aid of a homestead family who are threatened by a land baron and his hired gun. The mystery man becomes young DeWilde's idol (the boy's haunting cry S-H-AANNNE! was legendary stuff throughout the fifties). The Pulitzer Prize winning novelist A.B. Guthrie, Jr. adapted the screenplay from the novel by Jack Schaefer; at 117 minutes, it's longer than many realize or remember, but definitely worth every minute of the viewer's time! Arthur's last film; she died in 1990 at the age of 89. | 975 | [

5 | Just as I remember! | I absolutely loved this show when I was younger, and had searched for it's DVD for a while. Well I finally received it a little while back and have enjoyed so much watching the episodes.

Mine has 13 episodes: DISC 1- 1. The Accident 2. Shock Value 3. Hoop War 4. Cold Day In Paradise Valley 5. False Alarm 6. School Dance 7. The Science Fair DISC 2- 8. Alex & Mom 9. The Feud 10. The Videotape 11. The Solo 12. Annie Bails 13. Road TripI'd say if you liked this show, or even if you are just searching for a clean/decent show for your little ones, this is a great buy!AND IF THE DISTRIBUTOR IS READING THIS- PLEASE, PLEASE RELEASE THE NEXT 3 SEASONS!!!!

5 | Satisfied by "Satisfy My Soul" | Last Summer,I was fortunate to be present at a reading from "Satisfy My Soul" by Colin Channer as he prepared to launch this book. I was immediately hooked and the book had not been released yet.With "Satisfy My Soul",Mr. Channer proves that he is no one hit wonder.In this, his sophomore effort, he weaves an intricate and delectable tale of love and passion all the while exploring themes of religion, spirituality,friendship and mortality.This stunning book kept me enthralled. I found the characters at once compelling, well realized and believable.I cared about what happened to them.Mr. Channer's real strength lies in his ability to place the reader in the context of the moment. He achieves this through his ability to create uncanny physical descriptions.We also get a real sense of what each character is experiencing and feeling as they evolve with the story.This book will keep you turning each page as you journey with the characters to it's powerful conclusion. | 975 | [

5 | Bertie and Jeeves At Their Zaniest | Of all the Bertie Wooster and Jeeves sets, this one takes the cake for sheer zanieness. Want to see the always dignified Jeeves in drag as he impersonates an authoress? Or, care to see a black-faced Bertie staring back at the African chief he dresses as in an effort to lift a curse of a totum "thingie?" These six videos are chock full of more of the Wodehouse magic, and, though they differ in places from the print version of the stories, they would probably make P.G. "Plum" Wodehouse himself chuckle. Directed by Fairfax, they push the comic envelope in a way not dared by directors Simon Langton and Robert Young. The result is first rate idealic world laughs from the precarious predicaments so often a part of Wooster's life. The music throughout is a special treat, and the casting brings back such favorites as Madelaine Bassett, Florence Cray, Tuppy Glossup, and Gussy Finknottle. Loosen your belt when you put in these videos and prepare to laugh yourself hoarse. | 975 | [

5 | Mandatory Reading Required | As one involved in this struggle over the last 25 years I agree this book is mandatory reading for anyone who wants to learn about the struggles related to accessibility. Congressman Edward J. Markey, Ranking Democrat, House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, stated, "Telecommunications technology can enable and ennoble the lives of millions, but only if our laws animate such technologies with human values to ensure universal access and inclusion. Karen Pelz Strauss, a tireless ally in expanding disability access to new technologies, presents a wonderful history about the inexorable march of innovation and the ongoing struggles to bring its wonders to all sectors of society." Former FCC Chairman William Kenard noted, "The lessons revealed in the pages of this book offer a compelling roadmap to those who are willing to take up this challenge in the decades to come." I am glad the author took the time to capture the struggle so others can learn. | 975 | [

5 | A Great Book, I recommend!... | This is one of those books you just cannot put it down. It is a great story, and remind us of how a single day can change your entire life. Tha day of the ACCIDENT is one of those days. The main characters had a perfect life before their daughter and three other teenagers were caught in a terrible car accident. After that, their lives changed in a way they had never imagine possible. To make matters worse, and if the accident by itself was not enough to drive a mother crazy, her husband had a secret he needed to share. And that was just the beginning.....It is amazing to see how their lives changed completely after that Saturday night. Is it a story of lives forever changed, courage, love and hope. I recommend this book to everyone, including teenagers. After all, the accident might had never happen if their daughters had not lied to their parents. A great book, but again, be aware you will not put it down!I recommend this book to everyone, including teenagers. | 975 | [

5 | Expanding Creativity | The photographs of her stunning quilts initially encouraged me to purchase Vikki Pignatelli's "Quilting Curves." But I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a wealth of information between the covers of this book.The author begins with an explanation of her method of quilting, incorporating curves and sharp points into her designs. I liked the contemporary patterns, beginning with simple quilts using a minimum of templates, and advancing to more complex designs, and also her discussion of improvisional quilts. Vikki shares her methods and patterns and insights and encourages quilters to develop their own designs and expand their creativity. Her method is unusual, but I was impressed with how easily mistakes can be corrected with a minimum of effort. The end results are impressiveI think this book is easy to understand and uplifting in spirit. I'm very happy with how my own quilt design, honoring Valentine's Day turned out. I recommend "Quilting Curves. | 975 | [

5 | One of Fahey's most brilliant albums | John Fahey recorded one free-form album. And this is it.Fare Forward Voyagers is Fahey's mystical album. It dives deep, and then swoops upward into complex reveries of cadences and rhythms. Although he occasionally anchors his compositions in delta blues hooks, the music pushes ever forward, as the title suggests.Fare Forward Voyagers is one of the most sophisticated acoustic guitar albums ever recorded. However, it didn't sell as well as Fahey's more accessible albums, and he never again revisited this approach.Fahey himself had warned against what he called "orientalism." And yet, here he is, flaunting his own rule. Again, according to Fahey, for the love of a Yogi's secretary.But don't let this endearing story distract from the intent of the compositions. This album is a serious excursion.If you are a Fahey follower, Fare Forward Voyagers is essential. If you are a guitar player or guitar music fan, it's a rare journey to the heights of solo acoustic guitar. | 975 | [

5 | This really works | I came down with a bad bout of sciatica last fall of 2007. I was in excrutiating pain. Pain started in my buttocks and radiated down to my knee cap. I could not sit, lay down, or sleep. I tried everything. I went to the chiropractor and had the electrodes, massage therapy, adjustments, acupuncture nothing helped. I went to the PC DR and was prescribed steriods and an MRI. The MRI showed a slipped disk on my left side note my pain was on the right. I researched the net to try to find an explaination of why this was happening and what I could do. My pain on a scale of 1-10 was a 10. A colleage shared the idea of this book with me. I went home watched the DVD and then read the book. My pain subsided in a matter of weeks. The self talk explained in the book was what really worked for me. Dr Sarno I thank you for relieving me of my excrutiating pain and allowing me to return to a normal life. I now have the knowledge of what lies beneath this pain that is 100% real. | 975 | [

5 | Solid Social Science | A previous review called this book "psuedo-scientific drivel."In fact, this book is far from it. Well, as far from it as social science can get. In fact, is the most "scientific" of the user interface books I have read.The main point I took away from the book is that people interact with objects, especially interactive and media devices, as if they were people. They demonstrate that when user interfaces are designed to be polite and interact in a positive social manner, the person has a much more enjoyable and profitable interaction.Other books on the topic of user interface design are far less scientific, relying on generalizations and suppositions rather than constructing a study. Some use data from a usability evaluation, but these are often far from scientific.The authors construct hypotheses, usually based on the results of studies of interaction between humans, and see if the results of the results hold true for human-machine interaction.Usually, it does. | 975 | [

5 | Flawless post-punk | Killing Joke is easily becoming one of my favorite bands of all time, mostly because of this phenomenal masterpiece. My enthusiasm towards KJ started with Requiem, which is still my favorite of the lot. It's probably the most catchy song but every track is memorable and flawless to say the least. This album is a fine blend of punk, industrial, quasi-metal and even a bit of pop. It was quite influential back then; can you say Metallica, Faith No More and Nirvana?!The musicianship is top notch. The songs are very atmospheric and creepy. The band is not technically amazing, but the music is intricately crafted nonetheless. Jaz Coleman's lyrics are wonderfully apocalyptic and paranoid, and that's coming from a person who usually ignores lyrics!Other top cuts from the album are: Complications, SO 36 and Tomorrow's World. This album really is a perfect entity. It has got it all! I also like looking at it's interesting cover while listening to the gloomy music. Enjoy! | 975 | [

5 | Updated photo - accurate | I bought two for the price, you cannot beat it, the fill is firm and the cover is canvas like material that doesn't hold hair like cloth/fleece. She loves to chew and after several weeks she hasn't even attempted to claw or chew these "Pillows". Imagine a King size pillow just a little wider. They are light weight provide my dog great support and repel dirt and hair, oh and they are cheap. So do like I did, get two, either way, great for the crate at the very least.One Comments complaint about this product review section is that allot of the complaints have to do with color or pattern. The product description clearly states that you may not receive the pattern shown and even lists it as "Various Patterns". I ended up with a blue plaid and a green cammo. So, if you can throw caution to the wind and close your fashion "eye" cash in on this deal.UPDATE: My dog did wear these out but nothing you buy for pets is forever. I have since bought a bed for 20 from Costco. | 975 | [

5 | Vengo | A truly exceptional film, raw and moving. Itself a great piece of flamenco with full of duende.It is a simple story of loyalty, love, agony and fate of a Rom (i.e., Gypsy) family caught in a feud of revenge with another family. Musically it is a remarkably rich anthology of living flamenco and its North African heritage. Don't expect a theatrical, stylized presentation of flamenco dances like the ones in Carlos Saura's films. The dances you'll see are spontaneous and real, and for that reason, more touching and memorable.The final two pieces of music are a masterstroke of the director/composer Gatlif.

"A truly exceptional film, raw and moving.",
"Itself a great piece of flamenco with full of duende.It is a simple story of loyalty, love, agony and fate of a Rom (i.e., Gypsy) family caught in a feud of revenge with another family.",
"Musically it is a remarkably rich anthology of living flamenco and its North African heritage.",
"Don't expect a theatrical, stylized presentation of flamenco dances like the ones in Carlos Saura's films.",
"The dances you'll see are spontaneous and real, and for that reason, more touching and memorable.The final two pieces of music are a masterstroke of the director/composer Gatlif.",

5 | Zoo Tycoon 2 | To start I'd just like to say I think this is going to be a great game. I can't wait until I can get it. It hasn't come to where I live yet (I live in Canada) but it should be here anytime now I'm sure! The graphics look certainly better than the first, but the best looking thing about this game is the fact you can get up close and personal with all your animals, (especially if you go into the new Zookeeper mode I'm hearing about). I think the photo mode is going to be cool too, because since you own the "zoo", you can actually go inside exhibits and take pics of the animals. The biome brush tool I read about on the website looks like it's going to make it a lot easier to make exhibits too. You can also mix animals in the same exhibit, without the lions chasing after those gazelles and eating them in one big cloud of dust like the original Zoo Tycoon. Overall this is going to be an excellent game. (I totally can't wait till Christmas now, so I can get my copy.) | 975 | [

5 | Nothing can compare in price! | Within my job being a Chef, and an undergraduate Culinary Student you have to have great knifes. It is madatory, it's like a mechanic without his tools. I searched and searched for months before my lab class started so I could find the right knifes etc. Oh boy, I was first going with another few, but they were so expensive. I got 2 for the price of one. I currently own two of these exact 10"inch, I bought one for my co-worker for Fathers day. Also I haveVictorinox 47547 10-1/4-Inch Wavy Bread Knife, Black Fibrox Handle, andVictorinox Cutlery 6-Inch Curved Boning Knife, Blue Fibrox Handle with Microbantoo. Which, with 7+ months of school, and 50+ hours working a week, I haven't had to sharpen the bread knife. The 10"inch does get dull when working on harder things to cut, like watermelon, etc. But once you sharpen it, it cuts through tomatoes like a BRAND NEW knife would.Definitely recommend it. My Executive Chef (30+ years exp)even bought him some new ones too. | 975 | [

5 | An awesome model for Education | I have 4 children, all whom have been raised in private schools implementing these valuable teachings. When education is not so much about academics and competition, but character growth, spiritual growth, service, and cooperation, you see some pretty amazing kids as a result. Academics are not underplayed (the average score of the high school students was 95% of national averages on National Aptitude Tests), it's just that academics are not paramount around which all else revolves. I see the results largely as the product of the children's education: caring, loving, generous, kind, self-aware, and yes very smart, individuals as a result of Education for Life. Certainly it is the most profound model of positive education in our age. I'd recommend livingwisdom.org and livingwisdomschool.org for more information. Certainly read this book and if you are not near a school that utilizes the principles you can still bring them into your own family with great success. | 975 | [

5 | Just what I want in a book! | This book is wonderful! Suspenseful, twisting, and delicious, James Patterson has crafted quite the protagonist in Detective Alex Cross. Fans of Jeffery Deaver and others like him with devour this one!When Detective Alex Cross is removed from the murder of a poor black family to head the investigation of the kidnapping of two prominent white children, he is less than thrilled. He can see injustice all around, but is powerless to change the course of events to his liking. Making the best of a bad situation, he throws himself into the investigation and quickly learns that things are not as they seem at all.Most of the book deals with the examination of the kidnapper/murderer and that is easily the best part of the book. The villain is as twisted as they come, and the uncertainty of whether he really is crazy or just acting is possibly the most chilling part of all. Even the romantic elements of the story are shadowy and twisted in this page turner. Don't miss it! | 975 | [

5 | Pleasantly surprised... | I had not seen any clips nor heard any songs before buying this dvd, though I had read the original book on which the basic story was based ('The Phantom of Manhattan' by Frederick Forsyth). So I really had no idea what to expect but I bought it because 1) I'm a POTO fan and 2) Andrew Lloyd Webber.In short - this is a tremendous show. Buy it immediately.I disagree with those reviewers that say the music is nothing special. I love the music (and have bought the cd). Several songs in particular stand out: 'The Beauty Underneath' (a visual feast and a wonderful song sung by the Phantom and Christine's son, Gustav), 'Devil Take the Hindmost' (Raoul and a spectacularly sinister Phantom), and 'Love Never Dies' (Christine's signature song which always brings tears to my eyes). Don't take me wrong - I don't think there's a bad song in the entire show, these are just my favorites.I could go on and on but I won't bore you. Watch it for yourself and make up your own mind. | 975 | [

5 | Everything you want, and more | I got this CD strictly because I love the first two singles released off of it and thought that I would give it a try. I was totally blown away once I listened to the whole CD. After the first playing, I was hooked. It is shorter than some CD's with only 11 tracks, but the quality of the music makes it an automatic favorite for me. If you like songs by "No Doubt", "Oleander", and "Silverchair", but can't stomach listening to the whole CD's because they are just a bit too hard rock for you......look no further, this is your perfect CD. It is definitely a rock album, but it is somewhere between the above mentioned bands and "Matchbox 20", "Robbie Williams", and "Counting Crows". A bit harder rock than the latter groups, but not overpowering musically or lyrically. If you like "REM" or "Marcy's Playground", then you will probably love this one. The drums alone keep me playing it over and over again. I have just found my new favorite album!!!!! Try it for yourself. | 975 | [

5 | Interesting and Innovative | A very unusual album from a Hawaiian musician. Unlike any other Hawaiian album I've heard in its diversity of style and technique. The vocals on some tracks are perhaps a little of an acquired taste but the imaginative musical outlook and playing is excellent. For the most part very gentle and not at all about blazing speed or technique for its own sake (so I'm not sure what's up with that other review?). There are some really nice instrumental tracks on here.The liner puts it thusly (and pretty accurately): "Makana transcends category and trend by integrating elements of folk, rock, ethnic, classical, bluegrass, jazz, traditional, ambient and slack key music in gentle to commanding arrangements." It never sounds derivitive or forced and does touch on most of those elements (I don't hear much of the classical or bluegrass parts and not a lot of the jazz except perhaps in phrasing). Generally low key but keeps your attention. Not your Grandma's Hawaiian music... | 975 | [

5 | Nice read | I've always been curious and fascinated about how different boxers train. It's amazing that fighters toil, sacrifice and train for months for a few minutes of action.This book gives you a glimpse of how fighters basically eat, live and prepare prior to the showdown in the ring. Granted, no one fighter will follow the same template as another, and a boxer's needs will change from fight to fight. However, Roadwork, jumping rope, bag work and excercises have been a constant in the boxing regimen for decades.Some, such as Ali shunned weights and others used weights. However, Roy Jones for a fact did reluctantly lift before fighting Ruiz in order to bulk up, however the rest of the time he uses calisthenics as a part of his routine.I have to give the author credit for his effort that went into the book and the caliber of fighters he interviewed for the material. His passion about the sport is evident on each page.A great book both for reading and reference purposes. | 975 | [

5 | Compared to ATI... WOW! | I gave up after having an ATI product for about 1 week, and seeing all the negative reviews for their product, abandoned ship and went for the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250 (Model 980). Flawless install, flawless operation. The software is much better than ATI's MMC software, but I've had a TIVO for the last five years and the Hauppauge interface was clunky in comparison. So I checked out SnapStream's Beyond TV and am very impressed. Surpasses the elegance of TIVO. I had the DirectTV TIVO and have now cancelled that subscription because, just using the PVR to catch broadcast signals provides me with enough news and entertainment to basically have a customizable 24 hour network. Moreover, I can watch / stream and transfer te standard MPEG files over a network. Simply amazing. I gave the ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 a 2/5 stars. The WinTV-PVR-250 gets 5/5. To get the full experience, you should get Beyond TV (google it, there's a free trial available from the developer site.) | 975 | [

5 | Wow | I saw a snippet of Noella Hutton on some Lillith Fair coverage recently. Immediately I knew I needed to hear what she has produced. I had never heard of her and she sounded intense. So I spent the one penny plus shipping and handling expecting the worst -- I mean, what can you possibly get for a penny? I thought it might be one of those buys where I hate one song, scan through a couple others, and sell it before I even hear it once. But wow! I mean wow! You know how most albums/CD's have a stinker or two? Even your favorite artists can put out a few that you have to skip through or program out. This piece was incredible ALL THE WAY THROUGH. The writing AND the music were so original and listenable and poetic and passionate! I could not believe it. It's the best penny I ever spent in my life. Now it's "discontinued." Isn't it just the way of things? Ms. Hutton, if you haven't already, PLEASE MAKE MORE MUSIC and grace our collections with your extraordinary gift. | 975 | [

5 | Worth the money! | I'm a pseudo-collector when it comes to Trent Reznor's work. I'll grab both the domestic and import versions of singles, like this one and the 'Sin' disc, but I'm not going to shell out forty bucks for the Japanese version of 'The Downward Spiral,' or a bunch more for the two disc version of 'Broken.' That said, let me say that even aside from its worth to collectors, the UK edition of 'Head Like a Hole' is worth the money. For one, it gets rid of all the filler mixes and misplaced "Down In It" and "Terrible Lie" versions that the US edition boasts. And for two, it gives us the best remix of "Head Like a Hole": the opal mix. I waited years to buy this one, and I'm kicking myself for it now... because "Head Like a Hole (Opal)" beats the living snot out of every other remix that one can find on the domestic edition of this disc. Only three tracks, yes... but they are the only essential versions of "Head Like a Hole" in my opinion. Five stars for good abridgement. | 975 | [

5 | The Magic Wand Is Worth the $7 | The directions are well done, but this booklet "Money Folding " is just that---a BOOKLET. It has only 6 projects which are shown on the beautifully photographed cover. If you don't think that the 6 projects on the cover are worth the $7 price tag then you will be disappointed. (Add postage to that price if you aren't wise enough to group your purchases to get free shipping). I bought it because I loved the heart shaped "magic" wand on the cover. The wand is fabulous and has been a big hit with the kids who have received them from me. I would have paid $7 for just the wand directions but I also liked all of the 6 projects. As another poster reported, I also use a folded money project to leave as a tip in restaurants. BTW--I bought "Money Folding 2" by the same author because I liked the flower in a pot project on the cover. I was not as thrilled with that project as I was with the wand but I learned how to do it and then passed the booklet onto a school teacher. | 975 | [

5 | Great stuff that really works!!! | My dog was was scratching his ear very vigorously. Brought him to the vet, who couldn't get a good skin specimen to absolutely confirm that it was mange, but she was almost 100% sure, so we treated him for mange. She gave him ivermectim orally for 4 doses a week apart, but additionally I did some reading online and discovered this wonderful product. Did as the instructions indicated to put on affected area after cleaning it to remove any dirt, etc. Well, after one treatment, he stopped itching and the sores on his inner ear started to heal nicely. I continued the same treatment every 3 days, and after three treatments, it was gone. His hair hasn't grown back yet, but that will come. One suggestions: when you cut the tube applicator, make sure you cut it down to the screw thread because this lotion is very thick. In fact, I had to insert a long thin rod into the tube to get it flowing. Make sure to shake the tube prior to each use.Buy this, it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 975 | [

"Did as the instructions indicated to put on affected area after cleaning it to remove any dirt, etc.",
"Well, after one treatment, he stopped itching and the sores on his inner ear started to heal nicely.",
"I continued the same treatment every 3 days, and after three treatments, it was gone.",
"His hair hasn't grown back yet, but that will come.",
"One suggestions: when you cut the tube applicator, make sure you cut it down to the screw thread because this lotion is very thick.",

5 | I'm taken by surprise. | Note that I have never EVER written a view for any other CD. Spitalfield is the type of band you wish could never get mainstream but would just keep pumping out the records. You'd want them to be your own "secret unknown band". But the thing is that they are definately going mainstream with a CD like this. First off I'd like to say that I HATE (HATE HATE HATE) emo, and anything emo. I am generally into hard rock and metal, but I also love my reggae and stuff (the chill music, if you will). I love this band. This CD is great. Yes, the lyrics are mostly about relationships (I know, blah) but the vocal patterns and guitar riffs push this CD through the roof. Some of the greatest music I've heard and I am a very tough critic of music. If you like songs with that little backround riff making the sound just that much cooler, youll love this CD.Get it. Play it. Love it. Then hate when all your friends start asking you if you've heard about this "new" Spitalfield band. | 975 | [

5 | Great Deep Dish Lasagna!!! | Yes, this is heavy, 10 lbs 3 ozs to be exact; but that is what you should be wanting for a quality piece of cast iron. This is a great piece of cookware for deep dish lasagna as it measures a full 13" x 9" x 3" deep. This is a very good quality product even tho' it is made in China; I would buy American made but could find no other product with the heft and size of this one, and the bake pans offered by Le Cruset are shallow in comparison. I purchased the Chiati color and am very pleaed and impressed with the quality of the finish. I just made a lasagna with double the recipe of Ragu Bolonese and handmade pasta ([...]) this past weekend and it all fit wonderfully into this pan, and baked up beautifully in the stipulated bake time. I'm sure it would work equally well for mac & cheese or other casseroles! Also, the cleanup was easy with just a short soak in soapy water, and the pan looks like new again.Believe me; you will not be dissappointed in this purchase!!! | 975 | [

5 | Greatest Game Ever | I have played a lot of games, specifically, a lot of war games, and fps games are my favorite type of game. This game is my favorite game. The single player mission is amazing, especially on veteran, which I recommend playing first, because if you play on regular or hardened first, it will be hard to become accustumed to veteran. The online multiplayer is the greatest online experience I have ever had. Some complain that the maps only hold 8 people, but that makes it all the more fun in my opinion. This is also the game I'm best at, I play other games, but in this one, I rarely don't get first place on the Live game. And even when CoD3 comes out, I assure you, that I will still be playing this game because it was made by Infinity Ward, which we all know has made the best Call of Duty games. If you like War games, FPS games, any games at all, get this game, you will not regret it, though you should buy the GotY edition, because it comes with the extra map packs. | 975 | [

5 | This is some top-quality music here! | Adagio was an experiment for me. I love it when my expectations are surpassed. Every song on this disc is really awesome. There may be an ever-so-slight Symphony X flavor, but Adagio is certainly unique. There is a very strong classical presence here, especially with the keys. Unlike most classical rockers, which tend to have the same drum beat in every song, Adagio maintains the ever changing element of Prog. Singer David Readman is awesome. His range and power is phenominal. I consider him one of the best singers in the genre. Stephan Forte is a world class musician, not just a great guitarist. His solos are tasty, yet display a measure of melodic restraint. The keys are very strong as well. The drums are also very strong. Again, not the typical constant doublebass that many power metal bands use. All the songs are great, but "Second Sight" really gets the album off to a good start is is the most solid song on the album. Buy this album, I HIGHLY recommend it! | 975 | [

5 | Wonderful and Sore | I purchased this DVD last week and used regular shipping. I received it a day earlier than estimated. There are three levels to the DVD. You will only need hand weights, that can be any weight. I started on Level 1 and told myself that I will follow the person who is doing the workour full blown, just like Jillian. There was no way I was going to just follow the moderate movements! About two minutes into the workout I could not keep up. This is so fast paced and wonderful! Needless to say, I finished barely being able to get off the floor to do the last three minutes. I was following the moderate work outs the entire time. My arms and thighs are so sore today, I feel like I just trained at a gym. I strongly encourage this DVD! One thing that Jillian says on there over and over, is that you can not take a break during the entire 25 minutes. There is NO WAY you can lose weight in 25 minutes with taking it slow. She works you out hard, and this is really worth it. | 975 | [

5 | One of the Best Series to READ. | I have read the whole series. This is the first graphic novel in the series. It starts you off with a fun rollercoaster ride with reality saving Marvel characters. The stories through out the series are well developed and are a fun read. They remain true with their continuity and sub-plots through out the storylines. And it gets complex. Enjoy. :)P.s. If you can remember the "What If" series that Marvel had out a very very long time ago. This series adds a 3rd degree to it, it accomlishes that same answer to a lot of those "what if's" and then gives it an ongoing reality. What If's like what would happen if the Brood survived or if the legacy virus mutated or this villain took over or if this person wasn't exposed to gamma rays . . . or whatever . . . and then it answers those questions and keeps those stories alive and mixes in all the other realities to create a whole universe of ongoing answered what if questions with their own specific and weird reality. :) | 975 | [

5 | A Wonderful Book | This is one of the best Fear Street books I have read. The main story is Selene Goodrich becoming popular at Shadyside High because of her acting career. Everyone adores her, everyone supports her. Then Selena starts getting mysterious notes from "The Sun" who claims to be her secret admirer. Selena takes all this as joke but then, bad things start to happen. Alison, Selena's understudy is injured after a cabinet is thrown on her. Selena also gets a dead mouse in front of her house with another note from The Sun, a speeding car nearly kills her. Then, someone else is murdered. Selena knows the Sun is responsible but who is the Sun? Could it be Danny Morris, that guy who Selena just broke up with or could it be Eddy, the new guy in town? Or is it someone else?This book was a pageturner. In two hours, I was finished with this book. I was really surprised when Selena found out who the killer was. The book provided a good murder scene and the killer was also smart. | 975 | [

5 | By far, the best in its class! | I have read countless books on this subject over the years and I have never found a book more enlightening and thought provoking than "Journey of Souls". Although I believe all the books I have read in this genre have benefitted me and the authors are sincere, "Journey of Souls" answered more questions and left an indelible impression on me. I truly recommend this book to all who find themselves searching for answers to questions they are not sure how to ask. I found myself rereading the same pages over and over, ecstatic I had finally found what I had been searching for! This book ties it all together and reveals purpose for all things that occur. I was left with a feeling of resolve and understanding. I cannot emphasize enough how "Journey of Souls" reinforces that everything we experience has a purpose and considering the grand scheme, "fate" does not deal a bad hand to anyone. We truly make our own decisions. This is a book well worth reading over and over. | 975 | [

5 | How and Why to Buy | This Hamilton and Weiss book was given to us as a gift. It was our first experience with their books. We are very grateful to have this book in our collection and what a great place to start!The length of each story and child friendly layout of the book really encouraged my kids to, not only read, but to tell these stories. The "How and Why World Tales..." are right in line with questions kids are always asking. They love to ask and they love to search for answers. These multi-cultural tales stimulate the thinking power of children and encourage their imaginations.The illustrations and stories are in perfect harmony. After a wonderful collection of tales, Hamilton and Weiss offer a master's class at the end of the book. They suggest many ways to read, practice, and tell these stories. Their energetic support to tell leaps off of the page as if they are right there to coach. They offer more story prompt ideas which expand the book even further. They are masters. | 975 | [

5 | Gets better with each viewing... | As a fan of the original Miami Vice, and having grown up in Miami, I was somewhat leary of the "movie". After watching it for the first time, I found myself disappointed. I believe it was that it was nothing like the original show, and that was what I had come to expect, as most fans of a TV series would like.But, as a true lover of all movies, I watched the movie again, and then again and again. I can now say after months and months and about 10-15 viewings, I have thoroughly grown to love this movie. It stands on its own, as if the show had never existed - a 'different' version if you will. The story line is fairly good, the cinematography excellent, I feel the acting was respectable, and the music is incredibly perfect and in the end makes the movie (great soundtrack).If you didn't like this movie, I'd suggest giving it another view and you may find to enjoy it as I did. It now resides in my permanent HD-DVD collection, and how great it is to watch in 1080p. | 975 | [

5 | OUTSTANDING !!!!! | Even if you have to buy it used, get this for your 7-10 year old to get him/her excited about this period of world history. Like all Usborne books, the simple, almost cartoonish, pictures will draw the child's interest to the equally simple and understandable text.The book covers the period of 1450-1750 and explores art and learning; science and invention; new religious ideas; war and weapons.Other topics are the Incas; the discovery of America; the Muslim empires; the Habsburgs; the Elizabethans; European settlers in North America; plantations and trading forts, the Mogul empire; life in Japan; merchants and trade; and lastly, kings and parliaments.Each topic is simply but thoroughly presented for this age group. The book provides a springboard for further learning about this period of history. A book like this will never be out of style for avid learners and for those whose interest in learning you want to encourage or increase.Even adults will learn from it! | 975 | [

5 | Lost for words | I would like to express how awesome this video is. First things first, my boyfriend of 2 years is a huge fan of Pink Floyd, and when we first met, I must confess that I wasn't too familiar with Pink Floyd, and getting together was the greatest thing ever to do, he taught me the history and the beautiful music Pink Floyd has made over the years, "Animals" took my breath away, and when I found this video I bought this video on the web, and gave it to him, and was he surprised, and since I have not seen this video, I was pretty anxious to watch it. Well, I must say, I was lost for words, I was into the rythym and the laser show, the pig floating around, it was awesome. The best video ever to have been produced. Pink Floyd rocks my world other than my boyfriend of course, but I would really like to see this video come out on DVD, NOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, as one reviewer put it, vhs tapes do get worn out, especially to those who watch this video as we do. PLEASE!! | 975 | [

5 | Beautiful screen, huge hard drive | I upgraded from the U2 black and white iPod mainly because I wanted a color screen. The screen is a major reason to get this iPod. It is crisp, sharp, and the font is much easier to read than the B&W; models.The video ability is a nice add-on, but not really important for me. I have an Archos PVP and found that watching videos longer than a few minutes on a small screen is annoying. Plus without a backrest, I can't imagine watching a movie with the iPod -- holding it in the hand for 1 1/2 hours doesn't seem like much fun.The 60gb space for me is fantastic. Although I have over 60,000 songs in my collection, I am able to put tons of songs on the iPod.One note of caution: a few hours after I had mine, I noticed several hairline scratches all over the front of it, from the left of the wheel all the way onto the screen. I'm not sure if this is a nano-like issue, but it scratched easy and fast.Apple needs to address that issue. Otherwise, this iPod is a work of art! | 975 | [

5 | Fernando Pessoa, literary masterpiece! | Fernando Pessoa should be mandatory reading for World Literature classes.Thru his writings he courageously, poetically and beautifully expresses what most of us feel uncomfortable with, let alone ponder or rip apart - the deep recesses of our minds and the not so pleasant frailties of the human soul. Carving from within and expressing his deepest feelings with outstanding poetic beauty, Pessoa loved life enough to leave us this (and other) outstanding literary legacies. Thru them, forever, he remains eternal, stunning us with the uniqueness of his soul.Fernando...thank you for your brilliant mind, heart and for passionately living, writing and loving the city you and I shared from birth, the "muse" that forever inspired us both = beautiful Lisbon!Fernando Pessoa was an exquisite hard to find gem, and totally Portuguese,to this day he still shyies away from the spotlight, yet deserving the notoriety of a MAJOR writer.

5 | These are the best I've tried | These Powerex AA rechargeables are the best I've tried.I've tried several different brands of NiMH AA batteries (Delkin @ 2900 mAH, Power2000 @ 2500 mAH, La Crosse @ 2600 mAH, Duracell @ 2650 mAH, and DigiCam @ 1800 mAH). I use the La Crosse BC-900U charger on all of them so that I can see to what capacity they can be charged to, and even the La Crosse batteries that came with it can't be charged up to their own stated capacity. Duracell and Delkin both had a dud in each 4-pack of AA batteries. For all five manufacturers, the fully charged capacities of their AA batteries never exceeded about 80% of their stated capacities. None ever came close to a "full charge'. There was always at least one in each pack (excluding the dud in each pack) that would only charge up to about 50-60% of capacity, which would lead to a premature "Low Battery' shutdown of my camera.The Powerex on the other hand, all charged to 95%+ of their rated 2700 mAH capacities and really last!. | 975 | [

5 | Best Cookbook Ever | If you enjoy cooking, consider yourself somewhat of a foodie and love wine then this cookbook is for you. My husband and I make dishes from this about 3 times a week and wish another version with even more delicious recipes was being published. I cannot say enough good things about this. Sure the recipes sound frou frou and may make you start buying red wine vinegar on a regular basis but aside from a few, they are really not difficult or that time consuming. Plus, it will force you to expand your food horizon and make you experience flavors you may not have tried previously. This has truly transformed how we eat and drink wine. We actually have trouble spending gobs of money at high-end restaurants now because we know we can make just as good (and usually better) meals for 1/4 - 1/3 of the price! I've already recommended this book to all of my friends who I knew would appreciate it, so go on, be adventurous and try something exciting! You truly will be amazed. | 975 | [

"This has truly transformed how we eat and drink wine.",
"We actually have trouble spending gobs of money at high-end restaurants now because we know we can make just as good (and usually better) meals for 1/4 - 1/3 of the price!",
"I've already recommended this book to all of my friends who I knew would appreciate it, so go on, be adventurous and try something exciting!",
"You truly will be amazed."

5 | Eye-opening | It's hard to know what to expect reading the descriptions and reviews of this album, so anyone listening to this for the first time has a good chance of hearing something new to them. This album is meant to portray the people and the culture of Chavez Ravine, a Mexican-American community that was torn down in order to build a baseball stadium in the 1950s. The story is told through the music, and the culture of the people of Chavez Ravine is also portrayed through the songs, some newly-composed and some peformed by the pachuco musicians of the area. The booklet included with the CD has English and Spanish translations of all the songs as well as a description of what part of the story each song tells. The musicianship of all the singers and musicians is superb, and while the UFO subplot is strange, it all fits together well. I definitely recommend making time to sit down and listen to this whole CD with the included booklet - the journey is well worth the time. | 975 | [

5 | Super 'Natural' Recording | For Michelle Shocked fans, there's no need to explain how truly remarkable this album, and artist, is. This review is for everyone else.Deep Natural simply can't be compared to early Michelle Shocked albums. For Michelle, each album is an opportunity to break new ground. As she put it at a recent show, "its nice to go home and visit the room where you slept, but you wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed for the rest of your life." No danger of that with Deep Natural.This is an album has a unique joyous, even spiritual tone that grows with each listen. Recorded by anyone else, Deep Natural could have been a too-preachy recording bent on spreading the gospel to non-believers. But with Michelle's optimistic and deft touch, it is an uplifting, transforming effort that will bring a smile to even a confirmed cynic. Buy this CD and songs like House Burning Down will keep you rocking, while Joy, That's So Amazing, and Forgive to Forget may change your outlook on life. | 975 | [

5 | The coolest gps in the market. | I have used so many gps receivers since 98 starting from Garmin 12 and Delorme Earthmate interfaced with laptops and pdas, and also with bluetooth gps receiver. Then I just got the Magellan roadmate 800 a month ago. That thing was cool but bulky. Got some info on net how to hack it and able to play divx, overclock from 300mhz to 500mhz. But when I saw the iCN 520 on sale for $199 with free shipping, I could not resist a good deal like that and I bought one...Here is the list of features of iCN520 that i like:Smaller and lighter with same screen size 3.5",Zooming and scrolling over the map is faster.Someone complained about glare, maybe, but I adjusted my map color to white background and I had no problem to see directions. The small speaker distorts and sound metalic but I can live with that.I also found info how to hack it and I can use as pda without block recognizer, divx, mp3 player, scientific calculator,...Overall I found iCN 520 a cute and useful gadget. | 975 | [

5 | Wow, this is an EXCELLENT DVD!! | First off, if you're an ECW fan or want to get introduced to ECW, buy this NOW!! Some of ECW's greatest matches are on here including two of the best wrestling matches ever which are RVD vs Jerry Lynn for the tv title and Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka for the heavyweight title. A few other great matches included on this DVD are the never before seen barbed wire match between Raven and the Sandman as well as one of the Dudley Boys's last matches in ECW which pitted them against Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley (Spike gets powerbombed through 2 flaming tables, UNBELIEVABLE!!). Other classic matches include Sabu vs Taz, The Eliminators (Saturn and Kronus) vs Dr.Death and Terry Gordy, and the mixed tag team match between Tommy Dreamer and the beautiful Beulah vs Shane Douglas and Francine. Joey Styles is of course doing the commentary (the best commentator in wrestling, BAR NONE) which only adds more greatness to these matches. Buy this now or you'll regret it later! | 975 | [

5 | Wow | This stuff is fantastic. I have colored my hair with sun-in since I was 16 (I'm 23) and my hair is pretty dry and damaged. I was hesitant because of the price,but got it anyways because the reviews were so good. Those reviews did not lie, this product is amazing. I have only used it once but after leaving it on for 15-20 minutes I was easily able to run my fingers through my hair while rinsing it out (which is RARELY the case with any other conditioner or product) and afterwards my hair was shiny and frizz/flyaway free. I have been reluctant to use it again because I went through probably 1/3 of the jar or maybe even half while coating my hair. I will use it prior to special events or maybe just apply it on the most damaged areas. I will highly recommend this product and wish that it was available in gallon sizes because I wouldn't mind paying 40 or 50 for a large tub of this stuff. Also, I did not find the smell unpleasant at all;I think it smells really good. | 975 | [

5 | Amazing Potential | Me and some friends went out and got some packs in hopes of getting codes for the MMO. We unfortunately didn't get any (they are pretty rare), but we sat down and tried the game out. Now, I am a dedicated magic player with years of experience and thousands of cards and frankly I had more fun with WoW then I ever did with Magic. The game play is much faster paced and far more exciting. Team play is easier to do as many cards take into account games where more then 2 people are playing. IMHO, Wizards of the Coast could be in serious trouble.Pros:-Fast gameplay-Great team play-Most Heroes are balanced, some need work (Feral Druids/Shadow Priests)-Resources: MUCH better then Land-Amazingly Fun-Huge number of unimplemented featuresCons:-Non-MMO players won't appreciate some of the cards as much-Many restrictions on who can use cards-Huge number of unimplemented features-Only 300-400 cards so farOverall this is a great alternative to Magic, and I highly recommend it. | 975 | [

5 | Never thought I'd like this, but.... | This book has all the elements that make me avoid something--seemingly pretentious, cute kittens, French, flashy wealth and glamour, and despite all that, it completely pulled me in. Two things made me really appreciate this book, and convinced me to buy it for my 5-year old daughter who was enchanted with it: first, the design/art is really captivating. It has a retro feel, a 1960s futurism to it that I can't take my eyes off. Second, it has more than a shallow use of Hawaiian (particularly for this genre). Well beyond Aloha, with an index in the back. The bold graphic illustrations of the Tikis are terrific. It makes me want to get a couple of copies so I can cut out the pages to hang around my office and put on Ultra-Lounge CDs--a guilty pleasure indeed.The other reviewer appreciated the volume for very different reasons than I did. No guarantee anyone else will like this book, but if either our experiences resonate with you, you might appreciate it as well. | 975 | [

5 | Wonderful Cookbook | A wonderful book, if you purchase this book you will have no need to purchase another French cookbook. Its circa 1927, so don't expect, microwaves, blenders, or any of the other electrical items we take for granted in the kitchen..this book is hands on. But this is part of the beauty of this book it teaches you to be a good cook, although its really not for the beginner. Much to the horror of the French because I have a lactose intolerance, and many of the recipes involve milk I have had to use lactose free milk...and you know the recipes have still come out as beautiful tasting as Madame E. Saint-Ange would have expected. Im sure low fat milks or creams won't be a problem if your watching your weight (we have to make some allowances in todays world)..they did'nt have nutrtionists running around telling people what they should and should'nt eat back in 1927. The book is wonderful just to read in itself..turn to any page and you will Im sure learn something new. | 975 | [

5 | Worth 100 lessons! | I hesitated to spend the money on this DVD but I've had lots of fun with it, and it has certainly paid for itself many times over. As someone who is an "advanced beginner" without much natural talent, I had reached a plateau after many guitar lessons. I find this DVD far preferable to taking lessons because of the simple fact that segments of interest can be endlessly studied. The songs are over my head, but with many repetitions I am beginning to get them. Equally importantly, I am learning some of the more subtle points such as how to use vibrato, arpeggio, and dynamic range (varying volume) to make the music sound more nuanced and meaningful. Jorma breaks down the songs into digestible little segments and demonstrates them with an incredibly clean style, all the while throwing in lots of nuggets about technique. A plus for me is being able to learn his beautiful song "Genesis" which I have loved for years. Jorma -- if you happen to read this -- MANY THANKS!! | 975 | [

5 | What a wonderful and fun cookbook! | I received "The Silver Spoon" as a Christmas present. What a great book! I think that the recipes are clear and easy to follow. Also, as a busy mother of a toddler, I appreciate that many of the recipes don't require a lot of time or a huge list of ingredients.I have made two dishes so far...penne alla arrabiata and semifreddo a lampone. I had no problems with either recipe, and the results were fantastic. The semifreddo recipe did yield a bit more than I expected, but that's not a problem...it just gives me some to share.Some might think that these are not the "fanciest" of recipes, but I do think they are representative of what the average Italian person might be cooking in their home. I have visited Italy, and these recipes sound like accurate representations of what foods I've encountered there. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who would like a really functional cookbook...this is a book you'll have in your kitchen rather than on the coffee table. | 975 | [

5 | (4th Edition Hardback) Excellent | (I'm reviewing the 4th Edition Hardcover) This atlas maps and details an astonishing number of facts about Oklahoma. There's something for everyone: political (e.g. "Constitutional Convention Delegate Districts, 1906" , geologilcal ("Geologic Formations), biological ("Buffalo Country"), military ("Civil War Battlesites, 1861-1865"), and this sampling barely scratches the surface: my use of the word 'astonishing' wasn't mere hyperbole. Each subject has about a page's worth of explanatory text and maps of excellent quality. One of the strongest themes in the book involves the indian populations of the state: there are numerous pages, from "Early Arrivals, 40,000-12,000 BC"/"Early Big-Game Hunters, 12,000-8,000 BC" to the "Proposed State of Sequoyah, 1905", with meticulous maps of the various indian territories in-between, as they were created and modified over the years. This is a great book for any Oklahoman: The authors, and OU Press, have done a very fine job. | 975 | [

5 | Works Great | --This review is for Version 4.0--I transferred some graphics programs (Photoshop, Quark, etc.) from a Windows 98 machine to a Windows XP system. Everything copied perfectly and all of the programs work.Just follow the prompts and read the directions while you use this program. (When you first install the software you will need an internet connection to download the latest version. I made a copy of that update file for the installation on the newer computer.)When you select programs to transfer, I recommend copying one program at a time - it takes longer, but to me it feels safer to test each one after installation. If you do it this way, plan on spending a while copying each program depending on the speed of your computer.I saved some PC Relocator files to a CD and others to a USB microdrive - both ways were fine. PC Relocator saves your previous computer settings in case you need to revert to them, but I didn't need to. This program worked really well for me. | 975 | [

5 | Best Eyemake up Remover Ever! | I found out about this product from Lisa Eldridge who is one of the top makeup artists in the world.[...]I feel that if she uses it everyday it must be good because since she has access to so many products and also because she is in the industry she has tried many. So I gave it a try. I used to use the Clinique eye make up remover and comparing the two, I found that the Clinique one was too oily and could have the tendency to get in my pours and cause problems. The Bioderma Crealine H20 solution feels like plain water but it takes all makeup off within seconds. If I have false lashes on all I do is apply some to a square cotton pad, press pad on eye for about a minute then just slide the pad down everything comes off without any rubbing or pulling your eye. Plus, it helps to not wreak the lashes so you can use them again and again. It is an amazing product. We all know it is so important to not rub the eye area anyway. We want to prevent wrinkles not make them! | 975 | [
"I found out about this product from Lisa Eldridge who is one of the top makeup artists in the world.[...]I feel that if she uses it everyday it must be good because since she has access to so many products and also because she is in the industry she has tried many.",
"So I gave it a try.",
"I used to use the Clinique eye make up remover and comparing the two, I found that the Clinique one was too oily and could have the tendency to get in my pours and cause problems.",

5 | oh my god! | i recently received this album in the mail from amazon and its rendered me speechless. i havent been able to stop listening to "A Night At The Opera" for several days and counting! blind Guardian definetely didnt waste their time in the studio when they were making this, theres so much going on here that it can be overwhelming at first, but if you let it sink in, youll see how epic this album really is. "Precious Jerusalem" gets everything going with fast drumming, quick riffs, and a powerful chorus done with a choir. since then, the journey doesnt slow down until the bonus track, "Mies, Del Dolor", which features Hansi singing in a foreign language(Spanish?). however, as breathtaking and powerful this is, i dont think they quite got up to the majesty of their earlier release, "Nightfall in Middle Earth". that album just cant be beat, and trying to reach those heights once more is going to need more work, but this album is an awesome effort and worth your time. | 975 | [

5 | Excellent read | I wasn't expecting this to be a scholarly work. And it shouldn't be. It is a good read about the women who made the bulk of the Raj. Most of the featured women travelled to India to be the wives of the officers and the soldiers and were known as the fishing fleet in those days. Author has collected data from these various women and combined to form a book which is historical as well as fascinating. For one, we know that most women got bored and wanted to eagerly return to England. But once they had done so they regretted ever returning! They missed all the servants and all the pomp which India had to offer. For most of these women could not have imagined such a life in their own homeland.Life in India among the officers was very much based on levels of authority. Such things were also kept in mind by their wives, if their husbands had to progress. Only the most eccentric or the daring or the rich could afford to forget these levels.A wonderfully evocative book. | 975 | [

5 | Kalakala's Story is a part of Seattle | No Dream Is Too Big is a wonderful story for children about the Kalakala. It is written as a heart-felt, historical tribute by its author, Judith Ennes. I am impressed with its beautifully colored illustrations by Kathy Wilburn that children will definitely admire as they learn about the Kalakala. This book is great for teachers and children as they explore the history of the Kalakala. Judith Ennes presents the Kalakala as a long-time, hometown, historical part of Seattle. The local community and its children should enjoy and appreciate this well-written, illustrated book. The sentimental portrayal of the Kalakala is refreshing and makes this book pleasurable for the young and the old. I recommend this book for those who appreciate the sense of community in Seattle. Historical stories about the Kalakala and Seattle itself should be shared with residents of our community. Judith Ennes does an excellent job of portraying the Kalakala's story by writing this book. | 975 | [

5 | IT REALLY WORKS! | I used this on the cement floor when we took up the padding and carpet and neutralized the bare floor before putting down vinyl flooring. We followed the directions of cleaning the floor then spraying the cat urine areas 'til wet then covering with plastic drop cloths. We let it stand almost 48 hrs. and it took all odor away. We then rinsed the floor. I also used it on a very dense medium sized nylon carpet that I took outside to clean. I first high power sprayed it with the hose, then scrubbed it with detergent and a scrub brush on both sides, then rinsed it thoroughly with the hose. When it dried, it still stank. I then placed a shower curtain under it and poured URINE OFF on the affected areas, then wrapped the shower curtain around to cover the area & I anchored it in place, leaving it for 24 hrs. then hosed it off and when it dried it smelled fresh with no trace of urine odor. This produce really works and I will buy more in the future if/when I need more. | 975 | [

5 | wow. | Evangelion was a stunning and suprisingly good series. The last two episodes (25 and 26) were beautifully done and astoundingly deep. Though they were great, they were rejected by most. Enter "End of Eva" to clear things up, or make them even more confusing."EoE" is not a simple physical version of 25 and 26, rather it is a completely different ending. Things end differently in the series. Go watch the last two eps, then watch this movie. Be warned, this is one of the most disturbing things i've every seen in my entire life. To put it lightly, its gonna drive you nuts.The animation and sound is top-notch. I would expect nothing less of Production IG and Gainax. The commentaries are also very good on this disc.Suggestions: Watch the series, all 26 eps. If not, pick up "Evangelion: Death and Rebirth," which contains a non-linear summary of the series, as well as an Eva encyclopedia.Warning: Contains nudity, violence, and will haunt those who watch it, GARUANTEED. | 975 | [

5 | Exquisite telling of a painful story | I was surprised at just how good this film was. Surprised because I had read weak reviews and passed on seeing this film on the big screen.Were those critics wrong.This was an incredible film on all fronts: the visuals, the quality of the cinematography, the story, itself. It's not merely acoming of age type of story. It's just very good story-telling about a very disturbing time--where so many suffered. With all of the Holocaust films coming out over the past few years (it's practically a genre, by now), it's important to have a story where so many others during WWII suffered, as well, and seemingly without end. I'm still wondering why there has not been a story based on the invasion of Poland--where so many innocent civilians were slaughtered by the Nazis. (Perhaps, there is one or two, I am just not aware of them). Anyway--this was a gorgeous and moving film that went well beyond my expectations.A terrific choice for teens--yes--but also, everyone else, too. | 975 | [

5 | A true masterpiece! | Come on folks, buy this CD first and read this later...I have an amazing story about how did I discover Mary. I new one of her songs from the radio but didn't knew it was October Project. I was impressed with her voice and tried to find out the CD in the best Lisbon stores with no results. Should have no luck as I did have not even a name...Then I saw Mary's beautiful face on Windows Media Player's multimedia guide, promoting this new album. It was just a click and with luck I discovered the voice I searched for years. Now I know it's virtualy impossible to find OP CD's in Portugal so I bought this and the first OP album right here at amazon.com and, belive me, no one paid me to write this lines...Still didn't get it in my mail box but I've heard ererything thanks to a free sample on Mary's web site. The sound quality of the sample is far from any good, but the work is superb, beautiful and gives me the peace and pleasure of listening I need.A true masterpiece! | 975 | [

5 | Fantastic retro TV trivia game | I've had this game for a few years now. It has about 15 TV stars who had a successful TV show, and "Laugh-in" announcer Gary Owens serves as the host. The celeb you pick will determine what TV show the first portion will be about. If you pick Florence Henderson, you'll be asked questions about "The Brady Bunch" as you might expect. There are other games you play in order to earn enough points to get a "backstage pass" where the celeb you picked will tell you a story about something that happened off-camera on their series.In addition to Florence, other celebs include Ed Asner, Loretta Swit, Davy Jones, Barbara Eden, Jerry Mathers (the "Beaver"), and others. Some of the celebs have passed on, like Don Adams, Bob Denver and James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek), making this game even more nostalgic and a sort of collector's item.The games are fun and if you were around in the 70s and 80s, this game will be a TV nostalgia trip for you. Get it, play it and have fun. | 975 | [

5 | Splendid | This recording was made in 1984, rather early in the relationship between Previn and the Royal Philharmonic. They seem to have been sympatico from the word go. Previn's 1970's recordings of the Tchaikovsky ballets are considered classics in some quarters. I think the same holds true for this symphony. Previn has a beautiful sense of the ebb and flow of the piece, with the strings following his every nuance with full tone and great delicacy. The highlighting of the usually hidden brass parts is one of the great features of this reading, adding color and texture that is often missing from performances of this piece. When Previn reaches the development section of the fourth movement, the tempo really takes off, in a way that is reminiscent of Dorati's great Mercury Living Presence version. All in all, this has to be one of the best Tchaikovsky 5ths in the catalog. The 1984 engineering is very satisfying, too, rather veiled but full bodied and beautifully detailed. | 975 | [

5 | A Powerful, Poignant Account | Some time ago I mistakenly picked up the novel "Molokai," believing it to be a non-fiction account of the leper colony on that island. Although it was a fine novel, I kept wanting to learn about the real people associated with this real place, including some I had read about in piecemeal fashion: Father Damien, Mother Marianne Cope, Robert Louis Stevenson, and so on. Well, The Colony is the answer to that wish. I read it in two sittings, over a short weekend. It is fast-paced, amazingly well-researched, and written with little to no sensationalism. There is some very frightening stuff in here, to be sure, but also some very inspiring things as well. It reminded me, in some ways, of "The Devil in the White City," and fans of that book well surely like this one. (In fact, there's a short episode in "The Colony" that takes place at the Chicago World's Fair.) I've pressed this book on several of my friends already, and it will be the next selection of my book club. | 975 | [

5 | Will Stand the Test of Time | My three children are adoped from Russia and Ukraine, and my visits to those countries led me to immerse myself in the history and literature of that fascinating part of the world, which has witnessed a disproportionate amount of pain and suffering.I hope my son and two daughters, both of whom are of Jewish descent, will one day want to know more about their native land, and I hope they will have the profound experience of reading this shocking, yet beautifully written book. It is historical fiction at its finest, and easily the most emotionallly powerful book I've ever read. But brace yourself. I believe it takes courage on behalf of the reader to absorb these pages. I actually had a physical reaction to some of the sentences in Life and Fate and am haunted by them months after finishing.It is simply beyond my ability to describe the experience of reading this book. Grossman has left the world an extraordinary gift that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. | 975 | [

5 | DEFINATELY MUST READ...LIFE CHANGING!! | I was amazed to see that there were negative reviews on this book. Like another review said...I can't imagine reading this book and not have it change your life! I have never wanted to finish a book so quickly...I was so eager to continue reading from the very begining. This was so freeing for me to recognize that so many of my negative thoughts are from the enemy. The enemy doesn't want us to know the truth...and will do anything in his power to succeed...he feeds on our insecurities and makes us think we are the way we are and that's that. This book is eye opening to Gods word...His Truth...and the reality of the enemy. I believe if anyone has a problem with this book...it's because they have unresolved issues that they are holding on to and haven't given those issues over to God yet. Pray before you read it that you will have an open heart and mind to learn what God wants you to. I told all of my friends about this book and I hope it continues down the line. | 975 | [

5 | bose does synth pop | In the 80's Miguel Bose released a trio of superb albums (bandido, salamandra, XXX) that were made in the new wave aesthetic, later in the 90's he would move into adult contemporary territory. XXX is the peak of that period and tough Salamandra had the best singles, XXX as a whole album is the best of the three. The album is primarily electronic, made of progammed sequences and synth riffs, with some sax and trumpet used very elegantly on a few songs. The two singles are classics (como un lobo, duende). The music is superb very well produced by Tony Mansfield (a-ha). Regarding the lyrics he uses a lot of metaphors and abstract writing as with all of his albums of that period. The only song that is really straight and simple is the one in english (over my head), he didn't write it. with this album Bose ends, a trilogy maybe? and surely the best period of his career. I recommend this album to fans of rock & pop in spanish, synth pop fans, and of course Bose fans. | 975 | [

5 | The Savage Earth the DK Way | DK Guide to Savage Earth by Trevor Day is an exciting introduction to our fascinating planet for preteens. The book starts with the Big Bang and takes the reader through the whole range of earth sciences-related events and ends with human effects on the planet. The book is done in the DK style with stunning pictures and short, to-the-point explanations. The book has a good index, data tables, and glossary at the end of the book. This would be an excellent book for the late elementary/early junior high aged young person showing an interest in nature or our planet. The subjects are handled calmly and objectively, but could produce worry in the more faint of heart child. Some students come into my earth science class thinking that the Earth is pretty boring compared to other planets like Venus or Mars, but learn differently once they've been introduced to our very interesting planet.

5 | The meaning of 'democracy' | This work is an essential history of the usage of the term 'democracy' as this crystalized in the era of the 1840's leaving Marx and Engels stranded with a series of acute but now misleading assertions and critiques of its meaning and actual content. The more is the pity since these views of Marx and Engels were at the onset far more democratic than those who fixed the word's meaning. Small wonder a legacy of bitterness festers here. To this is added the unfortunate confusion over the term, 'dictatorship of the proletariat, and the thinking of Marx is indeed ambiguous in this regard. The perceptions of those passing through the revolutions of 1848 are hard to reconstruct, as the brief alliance of classes led to the victory of one and the betrayal of the rest. This factor is what is responsible for the mistruct of 'democracy so-called'in the name of democracy in Marx and Engels, in a period before universal suffrage was an intrinsic part of the word 'democracy'. | 975 | [

5 | easy setup and works (!!) | Router arrived and hesitant to connect as earlier no-name router and livebox both required calls to customer service and a good investment of time.Took the plunge tonight and Alhamdulillah! with the router going through the auto-configure option I spent 5 minutes and entered only my account name and password and my aDSL connection was up and running.The box comes with a 110 / 240 switching power supply and all necessary cables.Computers, HP photosmart printer, and WiFi box all connected without issues. Since the D-Link router is, well, a router the WiFi router from Linksys is configured to be only a WiFi transmitter. All the WiFi devices connected to the transmitter without issues and have live internet connections.Quite possibly the easiest connection I have had so far (knock on wood), though I realize the work to solve earlier connection issues helped make this one easier.I would highly recommend this router.(Using it with Orange Senegal, 240V power, aDSL v2) | 975 | [
