Low-quality
This Hoya UV filter is quite low-quality and seems to degrade the image quality of my pictures when using my Nikon D70 and Nikkor 70-300mm f4-5.6G AF lens. I should have spent more money and gotten a better filter. If you have nice SLR or d-SLR equipment, don't go cheap on the filter (UV or polarizing or whatever), as it does affect your image quality.

A Good Read
The two earlier installments in the Lucas Frank series were written by Philpin and Patricia Sierra. With this novel, Philpin tackles all the writing himself, and does a wonderful job!I found the character of Lucas much more likeable in this novel. The plot moves along quickly and the writing is fantastic. Philpin includes real life examples and cases throughout the story which adds an excellent air of reality. They also serve to remind us that evil does exist in the real world, making this story all the more exciting and scary. The ending wasn't a complete surprise, but it didn't take away from an exciting conclusion.

death in a major key
Philpin's first solo effort turns to more traditional crime territory, in which a serial killer plays only a tangential role in a convoluted plot of mysterious motives, corruption, and conspiracy. Like a lot of recent crime fiction, this one has a lot of twists and turns to keep you guessing, but for the most part, Philpin is able to keep his plot dead on target. It reminded me a lot of, say, James Ellroy, though without his brooding sense of menace. If the book has a fault, it is that the plot may be a little too clever for its own good and/or there is not enough insight into the killer's more recent state of mind. Still, this is highly recommended. I read his first three thrillers back-to-back-- a very enjoyable and rewarding week.

Good Character - Weak Plot
Lucas Frank is a strong character and it is a shame that he was put in such a weak storyline - The finish was tipped way too early and it was a somewhat anticlimatic conclusion - I kept reading thinking it would get better and was disappointed.

Beware... this is not the first book with these characters!
Though I finished this serial killer thriller, I simply never connected with any of the characters, and the plot felt rather predictable as well. After turning the last page, that lingering feeling of not quite being able to pin down just what I disliked so much about the book continued to bother me. After some minimal Internet research I realized that this was the third book in a series. I wish that publishers would market series books accordingly!! I would never have tried to start a series in the middle intentionally! That may explain some of why I never felt connected to the characters, but the disjointed and predictable plot just don't make me want to track down the first two novels in the series. I particularly disliked the narrator, and just have no desire to read another one of Philpin's books.

Weak, badly written, shallow...
I finished reading this book because I had paid 6.50 plus shipping.Nothing is exactly right in this book. At page 30 I already knew "whodunit". It was so obvious that I really expected a twist, sth to give me a thrill in the end. Hmph.The caracther's developments are simplorious, the plot is irregularly paced and the reader's intelligence is neglected all the time. Detection is nonexistant: the "detective" simply listens to others telling him every single thing about the crimes. Crime-solving becomes crime-listening.No twist worth mentioning, and the subplots are left loose toward the ending. Really a bad bad reading. I'm feeling betrayed by the previous recommendations!!!

dream fades slightly, but still worth a read
Dreams in the Key of Blue starts excellently, with realistic characters, snappy writing, and a definite edge to the storytelling. A retired forensic psychiatrist emerges from seclusion to teach a 'Gender and Violence' course at an exclusive women's college - whereupon, in short order, people start dying violently and horribly. The author is in fact himself a retired forensic psychiatrist, accounting for the credibility of his main character Lucas Frank, and the early part of the book is full of interesting crime history.The plot offers a few obvious cliches and the story eventually falls into them, ending up chasing it's own tail at the end, too much psychiatry and not enough forensics. Nevertheless, it's a worthy addition to the serial killer shelf. I'll definitely read more John Philpin books.

smear campaign.
Due to the nature of the information contained in this book, as well as the fact that I have managed to upset some people, there is a campaign by a few individuals to post bad reviews in an effort to hinder sales. This book has been on the market now for well over a year and as of yet, it has not received a legitimate bad review. The book has actually helped many people. Thank you, W. T. Samsel (author)

Save your money
Living overseas I am excited to get anything in English, however this book left me flat bored and cold. The author I believe was focused more on his political views of the world today than the existence of Atlantis or even that of his "spirit guide". Mr. Samsel focus on the "Law Of One" that is what this Earth needs, not your obvious rantings on the state of the world today.Amazon should have a rating for "Save your Money".

Drawn to the cover, dissapointed in the content.
Author fails to follow up on the points he begins in the book. Then throws in a religious aspect indicating that we, just by our thinking and praying in a circle can change the things going on in this world. author does not really give us concrete tools to change anything. Much of it was hard to read and I felt a underlying tone of true paranoia and delusion coming thru in this writing. Don't reccommend this one to anyone.

Useful Explanation of Events Leading Up to 9/11
This was an extremely detailed book about our problems leading up to September 11th in the Islamic World. It's a different perspective because the author isn't American. I was a Political Science major in college, so I was interested, though it is probably much more detail than most people would like. The book's best audience would be people involved in International Affairs. It would be interesting to see the author do an update and see if any of his assessments have changed.

Ya and?
Just got the watch and was left wondering "Ya, and so now what?" Just a watch, no instruction on what that spinning bezel is or how to use it, no light, hard to remove the little plastic spacers on the dial.Clear numbers, clear date, easy to set once spacers are gone. Nice finish, looks good.Not bad for a $20 watch but I'm left wanting more. Look to a digital for the things like lights.

A FIND
I recently came back from a trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It isn't enough that it is some of the most beautiful landscape on Earth, but I also discovered the amazing artists of the Pacific Northwest community. The artworks within this book (as well as Spirit Faces also by this author) are so moving and beautiful, my only regret is that I am not able to start collecting on a massive scale.Mr. Wyatt also allows the artists to describe for the readers their inspirations and ideas behind their products, which allows us to get to know them a little. After a short while I was able to determine the various artists based upon the varying styles of the pieces depicted here.Highly recommended!

It is correct size! This is an outflow filter, in addition to the grease filters!
I ordered 2 filters thinking that I would replace my grease filters with charcoal filters. I was initially dismayed when I received the filters as they appeared to be the wrong size, even though they are listed for my microwave, GE JVM1440WD. Then I went online and downloaded the manual and discovered that the charcoal filter is behind the grill on the top! It is an outflow filter, not a replacement for the inflow grease filters on the bottom! You only need one, but I will keep my second one to replace at a later time. Just unscrew the grill at the top and slip in the new one. The replacement filter is a tiny bit smaller than the original one so, when you turn on the fan, the filter lifts up a bit. To fix this, I just put a drop of hot glue from my glue gun into the two front corners to keep the filter down. You could also use silicone caulk. Just use a drop, so you can get it out later.

Worked fine for me!
This filter came with instructions that might explain some of the poor reviews saying the filter didn't fit. According to the instructions, the filter is supposed to slide in along the top of the space and then the back of the filter will drop down to rest behind the fan. So net, the filter is high in the front and tilted to rest in the back.

I have a GE over the stove microwave model #LVM1750DM1BB and this filter fits perfectly and installed easily.

The cost is considerably discounted over the genuine GE replacement part and I am very pleased with the purchase.

A poor excuse for a rule book
The simple fact is that the book could have been done much better. There are only a handful of new weapons and the rule clarifications are nice but common sense. Most players had already interperated the rules any way (e.g. torso twisting). The art in the book is mostly re hashed from earlier works. Finally, Fasa releases the book and THEN releases Tech Readout 3060 with the ProtoMech rules. Why not release the ProtoMech with the Master Rulebook? Now you players get to buy both!

This is a great rule book. It's is a must-have for anyone who has the Battetech Fourth Edition game and wants to take it to the next level, and the miniature section is a great bonus. My only complaint is that it doesn't have anything about the Battletech universe or unit compisition.

Not for a Role Play Newbie.
Yes, I hate to give anything with the words Battletech and Fasa on it one star. but I read through this manual and while I found the games it laid out to be played in the Battletech boardgame some of the stuff even I could not figure out. I have played "Hero Quest" some of you may remember the old board/Role-Play game. But, Battletech totally throws me on this concept. I just could not get this. If you are a veteran to RPG and advanced board games, buy this it can spice up your game. If your a newbie, look for a veteran to help you out to this stuff.

Hoya 52MM Circular works great!
I've been using this and like it says it does bring the details out especially when it comes to landscapes. I've used it to make the oceans for fleshed out and skies bluer instead of it being dull. I love this polarizer and couldn't imagine how long I haven't been using one. Granted, theres always photoshop, but, this would eliminate some of the problems that you would face right off the bat.For me, I think its worth the purchase.

Standard Series now made in Philippines
I bought this filter for $33 dollars thinking it was made in Japan. It is not, unless you get an older production. The picture on this Amazon listing is also not correct. It does comes in a blue box and is the standard series.Not sure of what to make of the filter being producded in the Phillipines, I contacted THK Photo, the company representing Hoya in the States. I asked them of this and whether this filter was inferior to the one made in Japan. Here is their reply: "The green series has been discontinued, and the blue series (standard) is now being made in the Philippines. It is a higher quality filter than the green series, and still made with optical quality glass to the same specifications as the Hoya factory in Japan."I gave this product four stars on account of the confusion. I have yet to use in my camera.....Gotta love outsourcing.R

Circular versus Linear
I bought one of these - heard all the talk about some polarisers messing up auto-focus so went with the circular (although I don't use auto-focus a lot). I shoot film (Nikon F90X) & frankly I was VERY disappointed: the effect was way milder than I expected. One day as an experiment I shot my digicam thru my sunglasses and voila!! That's the look I was after - the super intense colors & classic "black sky" look. Went to my local camera store & told them that's the look I wanted & they handed over the LINEAR polariser. My Nikon immediately got the look I wanted.It seems to be photography lore that "thou shalt use a circular polariser", and I spose there must be something to it, but before you hand over the cash just be sure it's gonna work for YOU. I do mostly manual focus of landscape/abstract stuff, so maybe I'm a special case, but I LOVE my **linear** polariser & use it ALL THE TIME, while my circular is in the drawer at home. Buyer beware.

not filter out reflectance too much!
On pak box doesn't tell you too much about spec. I checked website, it says to get better effect, is aim to surface above 35 degree. I tried at 35 degree, it just filtered out some reflectance, but not too much.Other angles no matter how you rotate the ring, it does NOT work to filter out the reflectance.I tried take picture with it, from outside window. The result is terrible, no polarizing effect at all: many many reflectance there. I remember at old time my Kenko and K-mart brand polarizing filter can easily filter out a lot of reflectance, why this newer Hoya can't do it?I guess either it's defect, or, the polarizing is just a gimmick!
negative
1
exactly what it says it is
This is a proper polarizing filter. It has a marking line on the forward (rotating) half of the filter, so you can keep track of the angle. Rotating the forward half is what changes the shadows reflecting off of the subject. It is also a true circular polarizing filter (I verified this myself). This is necessary for use with the autofocus systems of SLRs and Bayer filters over the sensors of DSLRs.

Glass is fine, but construction is cheap
The glass for this polarizer worked great. The only problem was that the retaining ring that holds the spinning glass element to the screw mount for the lens popped after only a handful of uses, rendering it useless. I initially liked this one better than the sunpak filterrs because it was thinner, but the construction seemed to be cheap. I may have just gotten a dud, but a product shouldn't fail after being used only a handful of times.

works, but a warning
I ordered this after the first polarizing filter I ordered was a linear filter (they didn't mention this on the other listing).While it works fine and has provided some good photos, when it came time to remove this filter from the lens more than once I was unable to remove it. The reason for this is the outer adjustment ring is the same diameter as the knurled body. When you try and grip the filter and remove, the adjustment ring spins, but the filter threads will not budge. It required LARGE pliers to grip and remove. Other filters I have used (different brands) have a slightly larger thread diameter ring section, so you can actually grip the filter and remove it.

decent product with major drawback
I have used other polarizing filters and the output of this filter if good but nothing extraordinary. I am happy with the output of the glass element. However this product has a major drawback for which i am forced to give one star. I mounted this on a UV filter and they got stuck although they were not tightly coupled.While trying to rotate the adjustment thread is only rotating and it is impossible to grip the polarizer filter thread to rotate as it is too thin. Now i am left with an expensive UV filter fitted to a polarizer :( . I was probably lucky that i didnt mounted this directly on the lens. Buyers be aware of this issue before deciding to buy this.

Great filter for the price.
This filter works and performs admirably and exactly as it should. But if you want better quality from a polarizer, you pay more. But this is very good. Better than most even, just not THE best. If you're not PRO level, this filter will suit you needs just fine.

Lean, Mean and Lonesome by Annette Broadrick (Large Print Silhouette Desire)
Description from the book back cover:Love? Rafe McClain had always avoided it. He lived solo and liked it that way. Until a mysterious plea for help had the rugged mercenary heading back home, a veritable knight in shining armour. And at home waited Amanda Crenshaw, the woman who once-upon-a-time won his heart. Taking what Mandy offered proved impossible to resist. But soon Rafe would be gone again, unless Amanda could transform this lean, mean loner into the loving family man he desperately longed to become ...

enjoyable
Lean, Mean and Lonesome is the first in the Crenshaw romance novel series by Annette Broadrick. When his childhood friend, Dan Crenshaw, writes to Rafe McClain needing his help, Rafe flies back to Texas to do what he can. But Dan is missing and no-one knows where he is. His ranch foreman is concerned; his sister, Mandy, is worried; his business partner, James Williams, is, strangely, not worried. Rafe determines to find out what he can about Dan's disappearance, but Mandy is quite a distraction, especially when she decides to act on her long-standing attraction to him. In this romance/intrigue novel, Broadrick gives the reader characters with some depth, an interesting plot and a few hot sex scenes. The characters reappear in the second book of the series, Tall, Dark and Texan. An enjoyable read.

Maybe we could move a shoe factory in there, and you could work there, and they could pay you in shoes for making shoes!") the letter to 'Mr. Castro', and The Exectutionator.

A round of satire down the hatch...
I bought this for every member of my family, and we all voted Republican. This thing is ridiculously funny.It's incredible satire. Even Republicans can laugh, that's how good it is. Liberals will of course find it right up their alley. Plenty of hysterical jokes at Bush Jr.'s expense. Parallel in brilliance to The Daily Show's "America: The Book", everyone should be able to laugh at politics and our national leaders, no matter what side they serve. The satire presents itself as Bush Jr.'s scrapbook, as if he were a giant man child with access to the "button". Very funny and ruthless.It's so good they need to make a sequel. I'd buy another round, just to show my appreciation.My only gripe is that, much like a glass of scotch, it's too short. Still worth owning though.

This book is very helpful, although a bit variable in difficulty. The only problems I found were with the optics section, in which the model answers were of no help at all, only giving formulae and not showing the actual calculations. However, this shouldn't be too much of a problem if you have the relevant text books available. I was using this book for revision purposes for the English PQE part 1's so some questions weren't relevant, but there isn't one available at the moment so this will have to do.

Great tuner, and inexpensive too!
I bought one of these a few years ago and love it. It was inexpensive, yet super-easy to use. I use it to tune electric and acoustic guitars, an electric bass, and mandolins. The bass was a little tougher to tune, likely due to the low frequency, but I was able to get a "fix" after repositioning the clip.I've also used this device to "tune" an electric piano... I just placed the tuner on the speaker, struck middle C, and adjusted the tuning potentiometer. Nice.The battery lasted about 18 months for me, and was easily and inexpensively replaced (it uses a popular coin-type lithium battery).I've since bought another one of these for my guitar-playing brother (a nice but inexpensive gift!)

Not a good product.
I wish I had spent more time on research before choosing the Intelli IMT-900. Many of the reviews indicate that the product will not work for low E and A. That is definitely correct. It will not read anything. I would recommend the seller of this product do some testing of their own. They will find the product to be inferior and shoud discontinue to sell it. I don't know how many of these are returned to the seller but if they all perform like the one I purchased then all should be returned. I would like to return this but it's probably more trouble than it's worth. You get what you pay for so steer clear of this product.

It is not accurate
Intelli IMT-900 is not very responsive to input frequency change. I guess, just guess, this is because of too long the total sampling period.The low frequency is not measured accurately. Again, I guess this is due to the logarithmic scaling of FFT sampling freq.

Compact and Reliable
I have tried many different on-board tuners -- four different brands, and a totale of seven different models. My first MT900 was given to me by a friend who thought it was broken (he had electrical tape around the edges because he said the battery cover would not stay closed). After a week, I took off the tape and found that you just have to get the cover in the right position to close it tight. I've had no problems since, and I've used it every day for the last three years. This is compact, and very reliable. I have purchased two more MT900s recently. The backlighting is plenty bright enough, inside and outdoors, and the display is clear. As with all on-board tuners I have tried, they get a little flooky when the battery runs down -- which is how I tell when I need to change the battery. The MT900 seems to me to last longer than others, or to be able to give a good reading even when the juice is low. The battery is included.

Good Tuner for Bb Trumpet
Pros:It tunes via contact clip and transposes-displays in different keys, so it is very convenient for my Bb trumpet. It is small and light with swirling head. The green display is very easy to read, day or night.Cons:Its transposed key CAN'T be retained once powered off. You must re-adjust it every time you turn it on, which means every few minutes (it turns off automatically if idled for 5 minutes to save battery, and you can't disable this function!!). But it only takes about 5 seconds to find Bb.The tuning is quite accurate but a little slow. Low notes don't show up every time.Overall, a very cheap and convenient tuner for a Not-C instrument.

Only chapter 2&3 are worth reading. chapter one is ok if you remember no HS chemistry or physics. Chapter 4 on diodes and transistors starts well but leaves you a bit confused in the end.Chapter 5 is bad because of the missing information in chapter 4.The rest of the book is a waste.Still looking for a book on electronics that will let me have a clue as to how circuits are designed.

Just another classroom "textbook"!
Unfortunately, I listened to the reviews on this book, and purchased it in the hopes that this was not another "dry and compacted" classroom-type, made-for-geeks-only textbook, and guess what...it is~!DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK, if you want basic electricity theories explained in layman's language (i.e; "easy-to-understand")---the information is crammed into 1 page, just like a book brought in a College bookstore!!You have been warned....

VERY UNHAPPY
I purchased a Zenith r50z26 new and the TV was stuck in HDTV and could not choose standard or DVD format. I called Zenith and I was very rudely told to call a local TV repair shop. I did so to find out the local TV shop that Zenith recommended knew nothing about HDTV's. I called Zenith back and was referred to another local TV shop. The repair man came out and said there was a bad chip in the TV that they had to take it to the shop to be fixed. It has now been 2 weeks and the repair man told me it should be 7 to 10 days. The repair shop still can not fix the TV. So I called Zenith back to ask how long I would have to wait and I was told "You have to wait as long as it takes" I replied "Why do you customers get such poor service" and I was hung up on.BEWAREG .GILL(VERY UNHAPPY)

Oh My
I was very tempted to buy this unit, almost clicking the "Add to Cart" button, when I noticed the reviewers had listed it as 1 star. Quickly reading the review posted by a very helpful purchaser, I decided not to buy this unit. Now back to the drawing board!

Another great one!
This was another great work of crime fiction. The story is a little familiar, reminiscent of old Dirty Harry films, but this isn't just a novel about plot. It is about style, Matthew Scudder and New York City. My favorite flawed hero, Scudder, is a complex character who has several fascinating and oddly compelling relationships with the various types of citizens of New York. It is also a novel about alcoholism, loneliness and friendship; at one point Scudder reflects that his best friends are a prostitute and a career criminal. Ironically, it is the prostitute and the criminal who lifts Scudder from the depths; not his law abiding friends. A moving, reflective and skillfully written novel, it is about as good as crime fiction gets. Highly recommended.

Tis a pity...
This work was transformed from a literary masterwork of philosophy and divination, over the past several centuries, into unspeakable piffle.

I Ching for Beginners: A Modern Interpretation of the Ancient Oracle (For... Mark McElroy
This was mistakenly ordered and the person who sent it was so gracious and asked me to keep it. He was so very nice and I thank him.

I Ching; For Beginners....
Mark McElroy, in my opinion, did an excellent job explaining the 'ancient oracle' mentality. It's the term 'oracle' that sticks in my throat. Oracle? My goodness, just get yourself a pair of dice and keep throwing them until the exact number desired surfaces.I Ching, again in my opinion, is nothing more than a children's game made as complicated as possible to pass for some zenmaster's revelation.I was not disappointed in Mark McElroy's explanation. I was disappointed to learn that adults actually rate this foolishness seriously.

Glad this finally came out, but disappointed by edited version of song
I really enjoyed the music from this movie and went looking for the soundtrack after I saw it. After doing some research I discovered it wasn't available at that time, and I had forgotten about it until recently, when a search showed that it was finally released in July.Although I enjoyed all the music, the song I liked best was the song at the end, Baby I Love You by the Yayhoos. I was delighted to see that it was the first song on the soundtrack... until I played it and discovered that they edited out the F word from the chorus. "Baby I love you, just leave me the (blank) alone" just doesnt have the same kick to it, especially since the movie used the unedited version.

Missing my song :-(
I wanted to get the soundtrack for Slither for one particular song that I enjoyed (no, not 'Baby I Love You', although I liked that one too). The song played during the closing credits and was called 'The New Kid'. It says in the movie credits that it's written and performed by 'The Old 97's'. I don't see it on the list among the songs on the soundtrack, so I don't see the point of buying it. The one song I like isn't there and the other one has the naughty language edited out. I'll pass.

'Baby I Love You' is censored?!?!
I bought the CD for that song and the CD showed up, I put it in and whaddya know? Every time they get to that single profanity that defines the chorus it's edited out. WTF? This is the most disappointing CD purchase I've made in a long time.

Thanks every other reviewer...
just caught the movie on late night tv, loved two songs at the closing credits, came straight on to Amazon to buy the soundtrack. i would have wasted my money if not for the very imformative reviews here. Two songs i wanted, 1 has been mutilated by some holier-than-thou idiots, and the other isn't even featured on the cd. Disgraceful. Thanks for the reviews. I'm off to look up 'The Old 97's' now, and already being a Dan Baird, fan i will be buying 'The Yahoos' cd. Thanks for saving me money and disappointment. cheers. Rob.

Where is Baby I Love You?
I also enjoyed the music for this fun and slimy film (good middle of the late, late night flick, I cringed and laughed! Well done!). "Baby I Love You" - unedited - can be found on The Yayhoos' album "Fear Not The Obvious", along with an interesting cover of "Dancing Queen" - our battle cry from our teenage days - those of you older...no...not OLDER...I meant....SEASONED.....chicks out there.

Get over it.
OK, so they didn't drop the F-bomb. What you get is a very good, eclectic mix of redneck- country rock you won't find anywhere else.Well worth your time and money.

Great Light-Hearted Western
Yahoo! The Texas Rangers are back.What made "Laredo" unique in the annals of tv westerns was its unique blend of humor and action. 'Reese Bennett' (Neville Brand), 'Chad Cooper(Peter Brown),and 'Joe Riley' (William Smith) were a likeable trio of Texas Rangers who may have been a little rough around the edges, but always managed to get the job done in the end."Laredo" was actually a spin-off of "The Virginian." The characters were featured with 'Trampas' in the episode "We've Lost a Train."The transfer quality of the episodes is very good to excellent. If you are an aficionado of classic tv westerns, this dvd set will be a great addition to your collection.I noticed an NBC/Universal logo on the dvd which seems to indicate this compilation was done with the company's backing. If that's the case, let's hope we'll see the release of other NBC classic westerns such as the aforementioned "The Virginian," and "The High Chaparral."

Attn: Manufacturer!
I loved this series as a girl (especially William Smith!), and I love the DVDs - except for 1 thing. The episodes aren't the first 15 that aired, and they aren't in airdate order. Attn: DVD Manufaturers: DO NOT bother with "Best Of" type collections. All you're doing is disappointing your customers. Everyone has their personal favorites, and nine times out of ten, it's not going to be what Hollywood thinks it should be. I would much rather just get all the episodes of a series, in straight airdate order. Thank you.

EPISODES ARE CUT!!!!!
I purchased this set because of the good reviews. I guess I should know better because 95% of Amazon reviews are worthless. It would of been nice if someone had mentioned the opening credits were missing from all the episodes. They only show them once with the menu. For that reason only, I cannot recommended the set. I will be selling mine. This could have been a great release. The quality looks good and appears otherwise complete. Timeless Media has screwed the consumer again with another edited release. I called and let them know how furious I am about this and encourage others to call and complain about this and their other butchered releases. The show is worth 5 stars but I only gave 2 because of Timeless Media's moronic decision to omit the titles. I will not buy any release by them and hope others will not either.

I loved this series in my youth; but, alas I find that as an adult - this TV show was so goofy that I'll probably never finish watching the episodes. It's hard to believe that we loved this so much in the 60's.

Smokescreen
Save your money on this book. It does contain some very important facts concerning the explosion at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, but nothing new. If you want to know facts about the entire treasonous terrorist act, then spend your money on Freedom's End, and Other's Unknown. These particular authors were there, with first hand accounts of the truth, and the withholding of information by the U.S. Justice Department, and other agencies. This book by Mr. Rappoport, lacks depth, and has more filler than substance. Although he is concerned with the act of terrorism and treason, he just does not have enough facts about the case in general.

Strong Choice for Western Fans
Terrific acting and strong, intelligent scripts. "Restless Gun" fans should get "Tall Man."Only the rather primitive production values hold this series back. Payne is great! A must buy.

terrible tool
this tester is a complete waste of money...bought it thinking i was getting a bargain leak down tester... . this leakage tester is highly inaccurate and inconsistent and leaves much to be desired. the reading are completely unstandardized so you can base the result on other tests youve made. i have since machined my on using FAA's specs...for the casual user who doesnt need the numbers, just buy a valve holder to fill the cylinder with air...for the professional id recommend, maybe a Goodson, Thexton or Star leak down tester...

Disappointing
I have read and other Kathy Kelley books, but I found this one very disappointing. The 2 main characters were one dimensional and boring. It seems that the only plot was just to glue the sex scenec together. Not a book I would recommend.

I CAN'T BUY IT!
This is a super cute and very funny show, but unfortunately it's not available in a USA format and most likely won't for a long time. Life on Mars is another one that's really good that I cannot yet buy. Come on BBCA!!!!
