Review title: Polar Express: Yet another boy's tale. Product review: Have we learned nothing from the 60's and 70's studies of childrens' books? Studies that showed that most children's books, and textbooks, had boys as the heroes, as the active ones, while girls and women were relegated to minor 'helping' roles. I was about to buy this book for my 5 year old granddaughter, but when I read that it was just another story about a boy and his quest for whatever, I decided not to buy it. Where are the millennium's great stories with girls as heros? About a girl's quest for knowledge and wisdom? Oh bother! I won't be shelling out bucks for this one. How sad.Barbara Hendryson, California poet and writer.

Review title: Some Difficult To Aquire Miles Product review: Great bop/hard bop collection. Albums such as the classics "Cookin'" "Steamin'" Relaxin'" and "Workin'" are all included. Coltrane and Philly Joe Jones really shine on these sets.Even some harder to find albums appear on the first two disks of this set. "Bemsha Swing" from the MODERN JAZZ GIANTS album is a great Monk tune.Highlights include the jivin' "Trane's Blues," "Aigrin," "Half Nelson," "Night In Tunisia" and "Blues By Five."Not enough alternate takes for my total satisfaction, but none the less, essential music.Four and 1/2 stars.

Review title: Works fine Product review: Works to keep the gun cleaned up. Just attach and spray through the gun and let set for little while. Works to keep it clean. As long as you don't remove the can of foam off of the gun you don't even need this. Well you can store the foam can on the gun for up to a month between uses.
