1	A lovely collection	I received this as a gift for my baby, but have found that I am listening to it myself! The music is so soothing, and brings back so many memories for me. I especially like the arrangements for A Whole New World and Someday My Prince Will Come. Perfect for nap time for the baby, or just some restful music for you to listen to at work or while reading.	positive
1	Love it!	I'm a daycare teacher and first heard this album atwork. Let me tell you it puts the kids right to sleep! When its not playing we have the hardest time trying to get them to sleep. This album works so well, I've bought it for friends of mine and even a spare at home!	positive
1	Enchanting	Purchased for 2 Princess-crazed children & discovered that you're never too old to enjoy these classics. The instrumentals are mezmorizing. Very appropriate even for background dinner music. Even got my hard-to-fall-asleep child lulled into peaceful slumber. You'll love it!!	positive
1	Princessland music	I play this to our little girl more during the day to settle her for her naps than at night, it's peaceful and has that nice Disney fantasy element to it without it being OTT. Very much liked.	positive
1	Not just for kids	My wife and I are big Disney fans and we both love this CD! It's not just for children. It's a very soothing, relaxing version of classic Disney songs that is the perfect CD to play while sitting by the fireside and cuddling with your hunny ;)A must for Disney fans of all ages!	positive
1	A great CD from a great shop.	i bought this CD as a gift for my friend. I just wanted to say sorry to her because I had made her angry but it seem very hard for me to say this. Just when I wander around Amazon.com and I found this CD. It looks so cute. I came up with an idea that to make this one as a gift for her. Wow, she really loves it. I love it also. All beautiful songs. I like Disney movies and soundtracks very much. Next time I'll buy a pack of Disney's Greatest Hits.I really recommend this CD for you guys. ;)	positive
1	Highest possible praise	Other reviewers have already praised these discs and I can only agree. The Seasons is not all Vivaldi composed - indeed, these recordings suggest that as popular as he is, he is greatly underrated - he should be in the pantheon inhabited by Bach and Handel. I would like to add that I think the sound of these CDs is simply magnificent - my audio system never sounded so good. I am led to wonder whether the quality of the source is not more important than any other aspect of sound reproduction. Highly highly recommended.	positive
0	Great Book -- Not So Great Study Guide	The book provides valuable insight into developing leadership qualities. However, the study guide seems to only confuse the issue and does a less than adequate job of helping apply the truths contained in the book. I would recommend that anyone interested in being a leader read the book, but avoid the study guide.	negative
0	Doubletalk leadership	Although it purports to be about what one does to become a leader, this book sadly confuses cause and effect. The opening chapter, on "The Law of the Lid", is mostly anecdotes about people who have been more successful than others, because they had more leadership capability. The second chapter on "The Law of Influence" explains that leaders have influence, so if you want to be a leader, be influential. Being stubborn, and optimistic, I read about half the chapters, but finally gave up and returned the book.	negative
1	Excellent Read!	This was a great book. Anyone in leadership needs to read this book. A must read for anyone in Spiritual leadership.	positive
1	Tons of Things to Discover!	My 1 1/2 year old son loves Elmo and lifting flaps, so I ordered this book on a whim. Much to my pleasant surprise, it's loaded with learning pictures under every flap and covers counting, the alphabet, shapes and more. He never tires of this book and will read it on his own as well!	positive
1	Best Book out there for the Toddler group	This book was worth every penny. Just buy it, you won't be sorry. The toddler will love it and will learn in the process.	positive
1	Beautiful book! Needs adult help.	This is a wonderful book and my granddaughter loves it. I had to open all the tabs first as they are really stuck to the page and have to be pried open. If you let a toddler do this they will tear every tab and it will be difficult for them to even find the tabs. Any child into Sesame Street and who isn't will love this book!	positive
1	my almost 2 y.o demands this book EVERY night	He loves lifting the flaps and finding what's under there... he has it memorized. The book is pretty sturdy too.	positive
1	My Daughter Loves This Book!	I bought this book for my daughter as part of her birthday present when she turned 1. I did not think that she would love it as much as she does. She is now 17 months old and she still carries it around everywhere. Here favorite part is at the end when Elmo needs help finding his beloved teddy bear. When we find it together, she always gives the bear a big kiss and claps HOORAY!	positive
0	Elmo's Big Lift-And-Look Book	So many people gave good reviews to this book, but I cannot. I just received it and the flaps came off the first time I tried to open them. I noticed another recent review that indicated a similar problem. This makes me wonder if there has been a change in the manufacturing process. The pictures are very cute, but I had to spend an hour taping all the flaps. How annoying. Beware!!	negative
1	Elmo's lift and look book	this is a christmas gift but i'm sure my grandaughter will love it. She loves lifting the flaps and seeing what is underneath.	positive
0	not very sturdy	Received this in the mail and was very excited for my 17 month old because he loves elmo. When i first got it I had to open all the windows for the first time. Two of them ripped right away before even my son was able to touch it. He loves it but i wish that they had not been windows that you have to open and window tabs that are already opened for you. It was too much of a hassle to return it so I just kept it and may try to superglue the windows that ripped.	negative
1	TONS OF FUN	Tons of fun even for toddlers! It is a great way to teach your child their colors, ABC's, counting and shapes. They love being involved. Every child should have this book.	positive
1	This book is GREAT!	We bought this for my older son when he was 2 years old and it was his favorite book for the next few years (he's almost 9 now)! My husband thought it was too much to spend on a book for a 2 year old, but it's a big book and it taught my son SO much - numbers, the alphabet and shapes, just to name a few. I have a 6 month old son now, and I'm glad I never gave this book away - it's still in great shape and I know he'll love it in about a year!	positive
1	AWESOME	My 20 month old son loves the book! He loves looking for the hidden items under the flaps. Ask him where Ernie is hidden and he'll open the flap to show you. He loves to read this book from cover to cover and back again.	positive
1	GREAT BOOK FOR ELMO LOVERS	I sent this book to my 23 month old granddaughter and my daughter said she won't put it down. She wants to "read it" all the time. It's a great book for all little ones but especially if they love Elmo the way my little one does. I have bought several Elmo books from Amazon and they have all been great.	positive
1	Get it!	Both of my kids love(d) this book. My son (17 months) loves the activities, and when they get older, they can read the letters. Definitely "get it".	positive
1	HOURS OF FUN!!	I just recently bought this book for the third time. I had to buy it twice for my own kids, because they ruined the first one. They read it so many times. Now I am buying it for my 2 yr old nephews. The kids love to lift the flaps and they can learn shapes, letters, counting and just have a lot of fun. The sesame characters are very colorful also. For a gift or for your kids, you can't go wrong with this book!!	positive
0	bach with no names	this is another recording of the st john passion of j s bach.the box gives no singers names.why?hugo saldias...	negative
0	empty trip-hop	DJ Cam is one of the best french DJs. But this early album of him is so flat and clumsy trip-hop(The ambient-style piano dub of this album is so unexpected and unforeseen...The other hand, hip-hop beats and scratches are too limited).....I'd rather recommend another album 'DJ Kicks!' released in !K7 label than 'Substances'.This is the worst DJ Cam CD ever bought...	negative
1	a GREAT movie.	I love this movie. I Dont Understand, how this movie could have bad reviews. It is Very Original, and is very creepy! It doesn't have that "Generic" Feel, like ALOT of Low Budget movies tend to have. If you like B Movies, or Any horror movies, you will love this movie.	positive
1	Goblin	Thank you for sending the movie on time! I will report my thoughts on this movie after I view it. Thanks again.	positive
0	Not So Great	There wasn't enough on the video to keep the attention of my 20-month old granddaughter.	negative
0	One of the Worst Programming Books Ever	What a waste of my money! This book didn't help me learn ASP.NET hardly at all. Why? Well, I'll give you several reasons.First of all, the teaching method is brainless. The author tells you to click here and click there, but barely any reasoning is ever given for why you're doing what you're doing. In the end, you have more questions than answers.The other major problem is that the explanations that are in the book are horrible and disjointed. Concepts and terms are referenced as if the reader already knows them--even though they aren't explained until later on.And let's not forget the typos and poor English that dot this book. Was this even edited before going to press? I am so completely dissatisfied with this textbook it's not even funny. It's not valuable for anything except maybe firewood. Total thumbs down! =(	negative
0	outdated	.NET is in version 4+ now. This book will only waste your time at this point. Was fine for college a decade ago.	negative
0	The worst textbook in the world	I am up to the 2nd chapter of this book and it is virtually impossible to read. This English in this book is very poor. No one should have to use this book as a textbook for their subject. This book would get a grade of 0% on an exam. If you want to learn ASP.NET use a book from another publisher.	negative
0	Learning ASP.NET	Ok...so this book must not be so great. Does anyone have any other suggestions on books that will help me learn ASP.NET?? I'm taking a class next semester but I will basically have to teach it to myself as the "instructor" is not so good.	negative
1	Excellent book	Superb book really. 1st hand accounts of what really happened and the feelings of those who suffered, those who witnessed crimes against humanity with key questions being addressed	positive
1	Excellent	This book addrsses one of the most challenging aspects of undesrtanding the Holocaust. Read it...	positive
0	A nation in denial	The Germans said, "We had no idea of what was going on (gassing, mass murder, violence against their neighbors, etc...)." What a lot of nonsense!	negative
0	Fifty-fifty clown	Probably I'm growing too old, but I didn't find this release very interesting. Sneakster is a project begun by Mark Clifford (of now disbanded ambient-rock band Seefeel) and Robin Guthrie (guitarist of the Cocteau Twins). It all sounds too lovely and slick, it misses completely the power and the sovereign feel of earlier Seefeel albums or the Twins' EP "Otherness". Some tracks feature unlistenable, horrible female vocals. It also doesn't point Clifford into a new artistical direction. I think he has done this kind of dark ambient music much better with Seefeel's "Succour" or his former solo project Disjecta ("Looking for snags", "Clean pit and lid"). However, this CD proves that Clifford's best time is already over.	negative
0	Go Elsewhere	I'm a huge Apple fan and have been using computers for spreadsheets, graphic design, and word processing for years. I have never in my life found a more poorly considered and executed program than Appleworks. It's translation software from MSWord does not work at all--it deletes large chunks of text, rearranges them, and, all in all, causes more work than simply retyping! Its other features are counter-intuitive and frustrating. If you're thinking about saving money by buying this piece of software, think again. There's far better stuff on the market. You'll regret this purchase. Trust me.	negative
0	why upgarde	Editorial review claims Appleworks 6 will translate Word documents with Dataviz translator. Last phrase is the key. Appleworks 6 does no more translation than did Appleworks 5. If you want to manage in the PC world, either buy a PC or buy Dataviz Maclink Plus. Appleworks 6 offers nothing special for compatibility in spite of the misleading editorial review.	negative
0	under OSX 1.0.4, bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs	If you intend running AppleWorks under Mac OSX 1.0.x, DON'T !This software has more bugs than a fight scene in Starship Troopers. How Apple released 6.2 for OSX with so many bugs and crashes defies belief. I've reported the bugs to Apple but they can't be bothered to respond.Wait for another update (6.3 ?) to see if the problems have been ironed out before wasting your money on this low quality version.	negative
1	better than i remember	i saw letta in the 60's at "shelley's man hole" jazz club. what an experience. my friend lost my album and i had not been able to replace it until now. thanks amazon	positive
1	Good Book on Boxing and Journalism	This book delivers what the title and prologue promise: a chronicle of a sportswriter's foray into the world of boxing. As we follow Jones through 7 separate fights and his growing fascination and disappointment with boxing, we gain sharp insights into the humanity and struggles of both boxers and sportswriters. Compared to Jones' later, exquisite writing for "Esquire" magazine, this book is not a clean knock out (for that, Jones would have needed more access to the boxers), but it is still a valuable, worthwhile read.	positive
0	Is this CD scratched?	All I have to say is "Don't buy it."I fell in love with Panacea after listening to Low Profile Darkness and when this album came out I ran out and bought it immediately. When I got to my car I could barely contain myself. I ripped open the packaging, put in the cd and drove off.After driving a mile down the road I finally realized that my cd player wasn't broken, and the cd was not scratched. Every track sounded like someone threw a live mic into a tub of water and recorded the ensuing noises.I promptly turned around, returned to the music store and returned the CD.Save yourself the trouble. This CD smears the name Panacea.	negative
0	ex-nay on the brasilia!	i have heard a lot of Panacea's stuff at friend's house's and everything i've listened to i just fell in love with. so when i went out to buy one of the CD's for myself, i picked up this one. BIG MISTAKE! 13 out of the 20 songs are basicly silence with an occasional random distorted blast or cricket noises--literally! and then the remaining songs sorta have an implied beat.... but thats stretchin' it. i actually double checked the CD about 3 times to make sure it was the correct band because it was so bad. anyways.....unless you feel like buying something that sounds like they stuck a microphone in the middle of the forest at midnight, stay clear of this album! as for me, im gonna try to sell this one back to the music store! (the one star is for neat packaging design)	negative
1	The Best Collection of the Type	Baptist theologians are here allowed to speak for themselves in these excerpts. The diversity of voices is a hallmark of this volume. It includes Anabaptist forebears, African-American Baptists, voices from Asia, Latin America, and Africa, as well as women's voices. There are some idiosyncratic choices, as well as odd selections from the figures chosen, but this reader is breathtaking in its scope. The introductions are usually very insightful and the appendix listing even wider selections of Baptist life and thought and further reading possibilities make the collection even more helpful. Since publication, one of the editors, James Wm. McClendon, Jr., has died. In any future edition, McClendon's own voice needs to be included since he has made a major impact on younger generations of Baptist (and other) theologians, especially in the Free Church tradition.	positive
0	Worst Book EVER	Basically the H sleeps with h - doesn't marry her because she dares to have sex with him before marriage (hypocrite) and then meets her cousin and marries her cause she's a virgin - while telling her he's going to marry her virginal cousin he sleeps with h one last time - she gets pregnant - five years later he comes back to her because of course all the time he loved her while married to her cousin and wants his son.. UGH!! - I want to get every copy of this book and burn it! I mean he tells her she's not good enough - marries her cousin - leaves her to bring up a child on her own, all the while she torments herself.. I mean come on - could you love this guy?	negative
0	oh please	no need for a big review here. Everyone was right, it is a horrible book. The hero was NOT a hero at all. I've read other stories where the hero was a little bit of a jerk in the beginning but jeez this "hero" surpassed them all. They sleep together one last time, basically calls her a whore and then dumps her, and then goes on to marry her cousin. How sweet!Also, the ending was brilliant, not only did we get several paragraphs about how wonderful elizabeth was while they were married, but he also tells venetia that while making love to elizabeth he pictured her (venetia) instead. Well that makes up for everything doesn't.. What a gentleman! So by the time I finished the book, I was tired of reading about "saint" elizabeth. In conclusion, this book was horrible, the only reason I even read this book in the first place was out of curiosity because of the poor ratings and I didn't believe it could really be that bad....but yeah it REALLY was that bad. Yuck :[	negative
0	stupid man, stupid book	This is the sickest book I have ever read. It doesn't even deserve one star. It should be starless. Read the rest of the reviews, they tell the story. Awful man, awful cousin with an awful mother.	negative
1	BEE YOU TI FULL	Wife's grandmother is a collector of display plates for her kitchen. She absolutley loved it. Great artwork, craftsmanshipetc. If you want to by that special gift piece for display and to be cherished, I highly recommend you give this one.	positive
1	Great for allowing your dog a bit of freedom	These are very nice for allowing a degree of freedom when on a walk while still providing appropriate control and guidance. As with a regular lead, one still has to be cautious to not allow a sudden dash to jerk the lead out of your hand. But, a convenient, easy to depress brake button takes care of that and also facilitates reeling the dog back in.This particular model is perfect for smaller dogs like a Westie or smaller and I've used these in larger ratings for years on all sizes and kinds of dogs and they work well although having said that, with a larger and/or strong, aggressive dog it's still safer to use a regular lead.With most dogs, especially the size this model is meant for, these are wonderful and greatly appreciated at both ends.	positive
1	Comfortable Leash.	Extremely well made leash and comfortable grip. There are cheaper versions of this leash but they break easily as they are not well made. It is worth the money to purchase a better made product that will last longer and that is what I have found with the Flexi leash. This is not my first flexi leash but I continue to buy this product because it has proven to be the best and Yes the grip does make a difference. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing a leash of this kind.	positive
1	Interesting for every woman	I love this book! I am recommending it to all my friends, and quoting from it a lot on my blog. This is probably the 5th book I have read by Fatima Mernissi and one of the best. The first chapter alone ("Writing is better than a facelift") makes it already worth reading, and what is to follow, explains the workings and mechanisms in Islamic society in the suppression of women, and she also offers ideas how to bring about change in the last chapter. A highly recommended read for every woman and especially those interested in Islam and the Arabic world.	positive
1	40 years of giggles	When I was about 8 and "stereo" was hot, my parents splurged on a big stereo set. I would lie in bed and listen when they entertained friends some weekends. That's the first time I heard this album. I thought "Dr. Ahkbar at the Castle" and "The Round Room" were absolutely the funniest things I had ever heard (I particularly liked the bagpipes in the Round Room). In my teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s, I dug out the old album, and it was STILL one of the funniest things I had ever heard. I would love to get hold of a CD.	positive
0	Very misleading...	From the picture and name "Bounti Buffet", I expected a great mix of pellets and seeds, fruits, nuts, and veggies. Unfortunately, all I got was 4 lbs of pellets and maybe a tiny handful of dried carrots mixed in. Very disappointed and a very poor value.It's missing all the "good stuff". It's a giant bag of filler.	negative
0	NOT A SALAD PLATE!	This was advertised as the salad plate for this china pattern, it was however the luncheon plate. A big difference for someone looking specifically for the salad plate. Very disappointing and a complete waste of my money.	negative
1	A must see movie	I really enjoyed this movie. The characters was great and different. It had a nice twist to the storyline and a very good ending.	positive
1	Good Movie!	Here is another installment from the Mowry twins-and a good one at that! Of course, like their other films it's a little cheesy, but it's worth the price and the watch! Good to see them in grown-up roles, and it would be nice to see more!	positive
1	Nishara	It was a good quality and came at a decent time when I orderednit. But the movie case didn't seem a great but overall the movie was really good and the quality was good and didn't really have anything to complain about it	positive
1	Yummy	Grainy and full-flavored. Not too sweet. No funky off taste as so many other bars. Hope Amazon can get more in stock!	positive
1	Bret gets the push two years two late!	Bret Hart spent two years in a tailspin in WCW and then at mayhem he proved that he could still pull out the "Hitman Magic"as he and Chris Benoit told a great story in the ring!	positive
0	WCW Mayhem '99	I'm not sure how much other people watch wrestling, but this is by far the worst wrestling video i have even bought. the matches have poorly choreography and the story lines are so typical. no wonder WCW went out of business... it's because of matches like theses...	negative
0	The WCW title passes to yet another phenomenal ego . .	Yay, Bret Hart finally wins the belt in the WCW. Now will he stop whining and crying? Grow up, you 40-something year old baby. Owen was more of a man that you'll ever be. If you're a Sting fan (like I am) save your money, he gets screwed again. I wouldn't pay a buck to own every pay per view the WCW has done this past year combined - they all have screwjob endings because of Hart and Hogan's precious fragile egos and, if Goldberg wrestles ANYBODY, Goldberg always wins. Watch the WWF, those guys can put on a show.	negative
0	Not a good deal	Love Burt's Bees products, but this is not a good deal. There's too much stuff in the little bag that you'll have no use for. Also some of the items can't be resealed so you're left with goop. I would like Burt's Bees to make a full size facial kit with re-sealable bottles. The mudd mask (which is great stuff) a exfoliator and a moisturizer. Add that eye cream in too. Now that combination I would buy in a heart beat.	negative
0	Bad merchandise	This book was sold as Good Condition---the book is not even close to good condition....It has yellow mark, pink, blue and written inside as well with previous owners notes. Really bad	negative
1	Lucky to sing along	This is an awesome addition to any Braid collection. This is such a great cd, made better for me considering that i was there at this show. it was my first time seeing them, kinda ironic, no? well, either way, i was floored at the show, and it totally continues and is heard in this cd. All the energy is there from the full lengths and then some. If you need more evidence of the great show they put on, they now have a video of the last few days of the band. it includes clips from their last five shows, Milwaukee, Fireside(chicago), Metro, Fireside "not so secret secret show", and then back to Champaign where it all began. Also ther are interviews from band members. Yeah, so, if you like the band even just a little bit, then you will grow to love this cd, just try to keep the tears welled up inside.	positive
1	Braid has to be the best band ever	This is a great Farewell CD to braid since we all know that they are gonna split up after 6 years of playing but this has to be thier best CD yet is has a numper of wounderfull tracks new and old and this is a must bye for any braid fallower. i must say this is their best CD yet and it deserives way more than 5 stars they are a wonfull band that does not get the respect they desirve this is a great CD and BAnd to Listen to just give it one listin and i garentee you will get a smile on your face, braid has inspired me to take up guiter i surely hope u can listin to this CD and give them a shot	positive
0	boring dvd	My two year old grandson quickly lost interest in this dvd, even though he loves trains. This looks like a home made video, not a professional movie.	negative
1	Someone from my highschool	This CD is great if you like Sloan, I saw these guys in concert when they opened for Sloan, and the lead singer from Sloan said "It is embarassing to have them open up for them cause they were so good." Anyways this is a great CD I highly recommend you pick it up as soon as possible.	positive
1	Canadian Pop is Cool	If you like melody, harmony, guitar, bass, drums, posies, sloan, etc.....buy this music collection. Cheers to Amazon for letting us get the word out on some great Candian material	positive
0	Great Idea, Poor Quality	I purchased this item to give as a Christmas gift. Decided to check it out and try product before giving. One of two required batteries will not stay in, and battery cover keeps falling off. Also, light flicks off by itself not remaining on as it should. This product is a great idea, however very poor quality.	negative
0	should have never been made	this album is a MAJOR insult to james hetifeld,kirk hammett,lars ulrich and jason newsted. this album is such an insult to any band!the cover of "low man's lyric" should have NEVER been put into print!DO NOT get this get the original albums that contain actual GOOD singing!low man's lyric is the best metallica song ever and i'm insulted that james' voice had to be degraded to a gothic girl who can hardly sing!DO NOT BUY THIS YOU WILL REGERT IT!	negative
0	Screw Metallica!	After Metallica had 300 000 fans banned from Napsters, I can't stand listening to such a disloyal band!	negative
0	Ugh, a disappointing waste of money.	Yuck. I like industrial (as well as techno), and I love Metallica, so I had high hopes for this series of albums, but I am now convinced that never the twain should meet. A few tracks were OK (hence the 2 stars), not great, while several were downright awful and unlistenable. Instead of re-creating a song in an interesting way as a good cover should, it seemed like they attempted to 'industrialize' it merely by screaming the vocals and adding more noise to the guitars, it is really just very bad, and it only made me want to listen to the original Metallica (or some other Industrial like Ministry that does not attempt to do Industrial by taking good music and ruining it with unimaginative noise and screaming...) argh. Anyway, not recommended.	negative
1	Note: This is not Metallica	Well Cleopatra's done it again. If you liked the remixes of AC/DC, Smashing Pumpkins, ext. This is a must have. Sorry Metallica fans, this just isn't Metallica. But for Industrial bound head bangers, this CD is a must. Apoptymga Beserk Does a good job on fade to black with a definate Techno feel. The rest of the Album is very well done, despite Clee's most noticable flaw, low lyrics, they need to shove up the PA on the bands vocals.This is a good techno-feel to Metallica, but its not really Metallica and I can't stress that enough. The female Vocals for the Unforgiven remixes and Low Man's Lyric is awe-inspiring.So if your a die hard Metallica fan and a industrial-tech freak, this is a good buy, but be weary, this is not Metallica.	positive
0	WHY?	My reaction is simply why take one of the most gifted bands ever.... and turn there heard heart piercing riffs and low growling vocals soft... in my opinion it makes a mockery of metallica.... not a tribute....	negative
0	This album is complete crap.	I'm sorry to say, but this is possibly the worst thing i have ever heard. As a hardcore metallica fan, i think this is nothing but an insult to the band. I can't believe that they would massacre the songs like that. I believe metallica is possibly one of the greatest bands to ever have played, and they are musical geniouses in my mind. Don't get me wrong, i don't disrespect techno musicians,they're good in what they do, i just don't think that they should have anything to do with metallica songs. Now i think alot of you will not agree with my opinion and say "but it's not supposed to sound anything like metallica" different=yes good=no. Now korn's cover of metallica's one on mtv icon different=yes good=yes. It's too bad you can't give the product 0 stars, because that's exactly what it would be getting.	negative
0	Depends....	For me... it's really bad because I'm not and will not ever be a true lover of the electronic music... I bought this CD so I could see the contrast between this and that, and how would these bands interpret Metallica's music. For you guys that love this kind of musics (electronic) I think this is a good album, and its a plus to know metallica in that case... In my opinion this songs stink as a stand-alone record. I hope this is helpful to you	negative
0	Hard to Believe	I'm only 1/3 the way through this book and I have a hard time believing this story. Robert's brushes with danger read too much like a bad script to a "007" film, from motorcycle and car chases to his harrowing flight into Cuba with David Ferrie. In another chapter Robert is tortured by Cuban intelligence in his hotel room. This of course, only after he satisfies another one of his lovers. Many of those cast in the book are familiar characters, but Robert's interaction and dialogue with these people often comes across as quirky.This book comes across as an exercise in self-indulgence and delusion and I doubt I will finish it.	negative
1	Don't blow it off just yet....	The main complaint the people below seem to have against Morrow is his arrogance and so-called encounters with women (this is a normal trait for many in that line of work anyways). If you get past that, the book has much infomation and details of the political and intelligence perspective/views of that time. Morrow's dealings with the underworld is quite interesting, and his chapters on the Kennedy brothers is very revealing. If Morrow threw in a few "007-ish" parts to beef up the story a little, just take it in stride. But the information he shares about the D.C community and main figures of that era is quite fascinating. I definitely recommend this book if you have any interest in JFK assassination history.	positive
1	This is real insight, excellent.	This is all so interesting, but who ordered and allowed the CIA to direct the hit on JFK. The head of the CIA would have been told what and where. Hoover was up to his scrawny neck in it, so was Lyndon and Nixon. I'd like to know who ordered it. So much for big business, undermining the intelligence of the ordinary American with wheeling and dealing and determining who lives and dies. It appeared to be like a game of dominoes with consequences beyond a laymans comprehension. They have no right, as good peoples lives have been cut short because of it. Its all very well to mention Marcello, Gambino family, Roselli, Hoover and half of the CIA, but who were the so-called respectable moneyed persons pulling the strings? Thats the mystery. Otherwise great reading.	positive
0	You buying a magazine	Basically you are buying a magazine, not a book. You will read it once if you are absolutely new to ASAP and then you will never return to it. If you take this book and "SAP Planning - best practices in implementation" (the opposite extreme with 700+ pages but very good) and combine them together and then split in half - you will get something absolutely unbeatable.	negative

1	Great Review for chem	I highly recommend getting this book, it provides an excellent review-- trust me because I got a 5 on the AP test.	positive
1	Great inro into a complex subject.	This intro to physical oceanography is both approachable and easy-to-read, just like a good intro should be. I would recommend this text to anyone who wants to learn more about what drives ocean circulation. Potential readers should be beware that physical oceanography is, at its core, a quantitative science and this text reflects this. If you really want to follow the text, be prepared to break out your calculus book, a pencil and some paper.	positive
1	A good text for an intro physical oceanography class.	Knauss provides a very readable text that includes the topics that are traditionally covered by a one semester course in introductory physical oceanography. The author includes the appropriate mathematical expressions without overburdening the reader with difficult or extensive notation. There are certainly other texts that fill that need. Knauss takes credit for what the text accomplishes, which is considerable, but also takes resposibility for the limitations of the text.	positive
1	Still in very good condition	I didn't expect this book to still be in a very good condition, but it is! Thanks! Now I can sit down and read some hard core oceanography stuff.	positive
1	This book is a classical to study Physical Oceanography.	My opinion about this text is a excellent book from beginner students in the sea sciences. It have the foundaments of thePhysics in the sea: Water masses, salinity, temperature, tides, waves, upwelling, sinking, currents in the ocean, motion equationsand tables to computer some properties of the sea water. The book index is pefectly order for any students with thebackground knowledge in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The autor explain very good the properties of the sea water inthe first chapter, specially, the concepts of salinity, "in situ" temperature and potencial temperature, density, sound velocity andrelationship between them. The motion equations are excellenty decribed, separating the differents terms as gravity, density,Coriolis and friction. All basic principles are related in this text but they need refresh with new standards in the Oceanography.	positive
1	Great Book for Serious Java GUI programmer	This is one of the most helpful book that I had bought in helping me doing a java GUI in Swing. It is definitely not a book for beginners or for those who are starting to learn about JAVA Swing. It is reference for serious programmer who want to resolve some UI problem or specific UI requirements.It had provide ample examples in which the programmer could capitalize. The only drawback is that it tends to be a bit long winded at time and reader may get lost. That why the book deserved a 4 instead of a 5.	positive
0	Should be titled: how to write an editor using swing	This book's title makes you think it covers SWING. It actually only covers a limited subset of things that can be handled using swing. If you're looking for a general purpose book stay away from this one. This might be useful if you're trying to write a text editor using swing. For the stuff it covers it might be useful but it covers very little - mostly it just collects dust on the shelf.	negative
0	Problems with this book	The book is entitled Core Swing and I bought the book believing it to be so. However, it is not this. Rather it is a collection of chapters on very specific problems which are of limited relevance unless you wish to solve these very specific problems. I managed to extract a few things which I could generalise but really the book needs to be written in a much more general way and then modify the examples to be more general and put them in an appendix. I followed the procedures on customing DND to other components and could not make it work (I believe not bothering to do this will though). JTrees are used as an example for moving data between applications. Who would want to use this in such an obscure way?	negative
0	Academic Blathering	I bought this book looking for a good Swing reference and tutorial (my previous experience with Swing has been taking the free short course on-line from SUN). I like a book to introduce concepts, and then explain them with examples in the most clear and concise manner possible. Instead, what I found in this book was a bunch of long, rambling discussions, similar to many of the lectures I received in college. If you want to learn Java Swing, this book is definitely not for you!	negative
0	Warning...More like a GUI design book than a swing book	The book spends about 80% of it time discussing problems involved in GUI designs which is totally not what the title of the book states. I bought this book because I was looking for a swing reference book that covers the definitions and has small demo code blocks of the swing components. This book cheated me by its "fancy" name. Not recommended.	negative
0	BOOOO HISSSS.......... Come on, developers deserve better.	A whole chapter on JTables and not mentioning much about the tables. There is more focus on BigDecimal and Doubles than on how a table works.Why don't you write this chapter again and talk about. 1. How a Table works. 2. What a TableModel is and how it Works. 3. What is a renderer and why would i need on. 4. Don't WORRY ABOUT CURRENCY, Write about tables.Also, if you want to make a practical example.DON'T USE: Object[][] as the basis for your table without explaining which array is thr row ant which is the column.Build a custom object like one that might be used in the REAL WORLD and write about that.class CostElement { short id; String name; int Price; }now define a table full of CostElement[] objects. Now THAT, would be practical.This book does not adequatley address the relevant topics to make it meaningful. think I'm going to return my book. It is of no use to me.Terry	negative

Excellent concert and the music videos were a good plus.If you love metal get this DVD to appreciate some of the foundation of Metalcore.	positive
1	Excellent overview of what KsE does	The concert is well recorded and well filmed. You can see how skilled they are as musicians - the guitars aren't just brutal, but they are intricate and interweaving. Howard is just an amazing vocalist with huge stage presence. The documentary is a huge bonus, not just talking about the development of the band, but also demonstrating their camaraderie and solidarity with other similar bands (many of which you may find yourself wanting to hear). A must for metalcore fans.	positive
1	KsE	This is Killswitch Engaged's first ever dvd. Is it good? NO! It's great! It has all the bands videos, a full concert of over an hr of songs they play live as you all know. And there Bio of how the formd and became a band. This dvd is really great, gives you a lot of info you might not know and or already know, but it is still a very good cd. Even has Corey from SlipKnoT in it. Which I must say is quite cool. A lot of funny stuff on that dvd too. If you are a KsE fan or just love roadrunner records pick this dvd up!	positive

A lovely collection

I received this as a gift for my baby, but have found that I am listening to it myself! The music is so soothing, and brings back so many memories for me.

Highest possible praise

Other reviewers have already praised these discs and I can only agree. The Seasons is not all Vivaldi composed - indeed, these recordings suggest that as popular as he is, he is greatly underrated - he should be in the pantheon inhabited by Bach and Handel. I would like to add that I think the sound of these CDs is simply magnificent - my audio system never sounded so good. I am led to wonder whether the quality of the source is not more important than any other aspect of sound reproduction. Highly highly recommended.

Great Book -- Not So Great Study Guide

The book provides valuable insight into developing leadership qualities. However, the study guide seems to only confuse the issue and does a less than adequate job of helping apply the truths contained in the book. I would recommend that anyone interested in being a leader read the book, but avoid the study guide.

Doubletalk leadership

Although it purports to be about what one does to become a leader, this book sadly confuses cause and effect. The opening chapter, on "The Law of the Lid", is mostly anecdotes about people who have been more successful than others, because they had more leadership capability. The second chapter on "The Law of Influence" explains that leaders have influence, so if you want to be a leader, be influential. Being stubborn, and optimistic, I read about half the chapters, but finally gave up and returned the book.

This is a wonderful book and my granddaughter loves it. I had to open all the tabs first as they are really stuck to the page and have to be pried open.

When we find it together, she always gives the bear a big kiss and claps HOORAY!

Elmo's Big Lift-And-Look Book

So many people gave good reviews to this book, but I cannot. I just received it and the flaps came off the first time I tried to open them. I noticed another recent review that indicated a similar problem. This makes me wonder if there has been a change in the manufacturing process. The pictures are very cute, but I had to spend an hour taping all the flaps. How annoying. Beware!!

Received this in the mail and was very excited for my 17 month old because he loves elmo. When i first got it I had to open all the windows for the first time. Two of them ripped right away before even my son was able to touch it. He loves it but i wish that they had not been windows that you have to open and window tabs that are already opened for you. It was too much of a hassle to return it so I just kept it and may try to superglue the windows that ripped.

This book is GREAT!

We bought this for my older son when he was 2 years old and it was his favorite book for the next few years (he's almost 9 now)! My husband thought it was too much to spend on a book for a 2 year old, but it's a big book and it taught my son SO much - numbers, the alphabet and shapes, just to name a few. I have a 6 month old son now, and I'm glad I never gave this book away - it's still in great shape and I know he'll love it in about a year!

One of the Worst Programming Books Ever

What a waste of my money! This book didn't help me learn ASP.NET hardly at all. Why? Well, I'll give you several reasons.First of all, the teaching method is brainless. The author tells you to click here and click there, but barely any reasoning is ever given for why you're doing what you're doing. In the end, you have more questions than answers.The other major problem is that the explanations that are in the book are horrible and disjointed. Concepts and terms are referenced as if the reader already knows them--even though they aren't explained until later on.And let's not forget the typos and poor English that dot this book. Was this even edited before going to press? I am so completely dissatisfied with this textbook it's not even funny. It's not valuable for anything except maybe firewood. Total thumbs down! =(

I am up to the 2nd chapter of this book and it is virtually impossible to read. This English in this book is very poor. No one should have to use this book as a textbook for their subject. This book would get a grade of 0% on an exam. If you want to learn ASP.NET use a book from another publisher.

Fifty-fifty clown

Probably I'm growing too old, but I didn't find this release very interesting. Sneakster is a project begun by Mark Clifford (of now disbanded ambient-rock band Seefeel) and Robin Guthrie (guitarist of the Cocteau Twins). It all sounds too lovely and slick, it misses completely the power and the sovereign feel of earlier Seefeel albums or the Twins' EP "Otherness". Some tracks feature unlistenable, horrible female vocals. It also doesn't point Clifford into a new artistical direction. I think he has done this kind of dark ambient music much better with Seefeel's "Succour" or his former solo project Disjecta ("Looking for snags", "Clean pit and lid"). However, this CD proves that Clifford's best time is already over.

Go Elsewhere

I'm a huge Apple fan and have been using computers for spreadsheets, graphic design, and word processing for years. I have never in my life found a more poorly considered and executed program than Appleworks. It's translation software from MSWord does not work at all--it deletes large chunks of text, rearranges them, and, all in all, causes more work than simply retyping! Its other features are counter-intuitive and frustrating. If you're thinking about saving money by buying this piece of software, think again. There's far better stuff on the market. You'll regret this purchase. Trust me.

Editorial review claims Appleworks 6 will translate Word documents with Dataviz translator. Last phrase is the key. Appleworks 6 does no more translation than did Appleworks 5.

Good Book on Boxing and Journalism

This book delivers what the title and prologue promise: a chronicle of a sportswriter's foray into the world of boxing. As we follow Jones through 7 separate fights and his growing fascination and disappointment with boxing, we gain sharp insights into the humanity and struggles of both boxers and sportswriters. Compared to Jones' later, exquisite writing for "Esquire" magazine, this book is not a clean knock out (for that, Jones would have needed more access to the boxers), but it is still a valuable, worthwhile read.

Is this CD scratched?

All I have to say is "Don't buy it."I fell in love with Panacea after listening to Low Profile Darkness and when this album came out I ran out and bought it immediately. When I got to my car I could barely contain myself. I ripped open the packaging, put in the cd and drove off.After driving a mile down the road I finally realized that my cd player wasn't broken, and the cd was not scratched. Every track sounded like someone threw a live mic into a tub of water and recorded the ensuing noises.I promptly turned around, returned to the music store and returned the CD.Save yourself the trouble. This CD smears the name Panacea.

BIG MISTAKE! 13 out of the 20 songs are basicly silence with an occasional random distorted blast or cricket noises--literally! and then the remaining songs sorta have an implied beat.... but thats stretchin' it. i actually double checked the CD about 3 times to make sure it was the correct band because it was so bad. anyways.....unless you feel like buying something that sounds like they stuck a microphone in the middle of the forest at midnight, stay clear of this album! as for me, im gonna try to sell this one back to the music store!

The Best Collection of the Type

Baptist theologians are here allowed to speak for themselves in these excerpts. The diversity of voices is a hallmark of this volume. It includes Anabaptist forebears, African-American Baptists, voices from Asia, Latin America, and Africa, as well as women's voices. There are some idiosyncratic choices, as well as odd selections from the figures chosen, but this reader is breathtaking in its scope. The introductions are usually very insightful and the appendix listing even wider selections of Baptist life and thought and further reading possibilities make the collection even more helpful. Since publication, one of the editors, James Wm. McClendon, Jr., has died. In any future edition, McClendon's own voice needs to be included since he has made a major impact on younger generations of Baptist (and other) theologians, especially in the Free Church tradition.

Worst Book EVER

Basically the H sleeps with h - doesn't marry her because she dares to have sex with him before marriage (hypocrite) and then meets her cousin and marries her cause she's a virgin - while telling her he's going to marry her virginal cousin he sleeps with h one last time - she gets pregnant - five years later he comes back to her because of course all the time he loved her while married to her cousin and wants his son.. UGH!! - I want to get every copy of this book and burn it! I mean he tells her she's not good enough - marries her cousin - leaves her to bring up a child on her own, all the while she torments herself.. I mean come on - could you love this guy?

oh please

no need for a big review here. Everyone was right, it is a horrible book. The hero was NOT a hero at all. I've read other stories where the hero was a little bit of a jerk in the beginning but jeez this "hero" surpassed them all. They sleep together one last time, basically calls her a whore and then dumps her, and then goes on to marry her cousin. How sweet!Also, the ending was brilliant, not only did we get several paragraphs about how wonderful elizabeth was while they were married, but he also tells venetia that while making love to elizabeth he pictured her (venetia) instead. Well that makes up for everything doesn't.. What a gentleman! So by the time I finished the book, I was tired of reading about "saint" elizabeth. In conclusion, this book was horrible, the only reason I even read this book in the first place was out of curiosity because of the poor ratings and I didn't believe it could really be that bad....but yeah it REALLY was that bad. Yuck :[

Great for allowing your dog a bit of freedom

These are very nice for allowing a degree of freedom when on a walk while still providing appropriate control and guidance. As with a regular lead, one still has to be cautious to not allow a sudden dash to jerk the lead out of your hand. But, a convenient, easy to depress brake button takes care of that and also facilitates reeling the dog back in.This particular model is perfect for smaller dogs like a Westie or smaller and I've used these in larger ratings for years on all sizes and kinds of dogs and they work well although having said that, with a larger and/or strong, aggressive dog it's still safer to use a regular lead.With most dogs, especially the size this model is meant for, these are wonderful and greatly appreciated at both ends.

Comfortable Leash.

Extremely well made leash and comfortable grip. There are cheaper versions of this leash but they break easily as they are not well made. It is worth the money to purchase a better made product that will last longer and that is what I have found with the Flexi leash. This is not my first flexi leash but I continue to buy this product because it has proven to be the best and Yes the grip does make a difference. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing a leash of this kind.

Interesting for every woman

I love this book! I am recommending it to all my friends, and quoting from it a lot on my blog. This is probably the 5th book I have read by Fatima Mernissi and one of the best. The first chapter alone ("Writing is better than a facelift") makes it already worth reading, and what is to follow, explains the workings and mechanisms in Islamic society in the suppression of women, and she also offers ideas how to bring about change in the last chapter. A highly recommended read for every woman and especially those interested in Islam and the Arabic world.

40 years of giggles

When I was about 8 and "stereo" was hot, my parents splurged on a big stereo set. I would lie in bed and listen when they entertained friends some weekends. That's the first time I heard this album. I thought "Dr. Ahkbar at the Castle" and "The Round Room" were absolutely the funniest things I had ever heard (I particularly liked the bagpipes in the Round Room). In my teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s, I dug out the old album, and it was STILL one of the funniest things I had ever heard. I would love to get hold of a CD.

I wouldn't pay a buck to own every pay per view the WCW has done this past year combined - they all have screwjob endings because of Hart and Hogan's precious fragile egos and, if Goldberg wrestles ANYBODY, Goldberg always wins. Watch the WWF, those guys can put on a show.

Not a good deal

Love Burt's Bees products, but this is not a good deal. There's too much stuff in the little bag that you'll have no use for. Also some of the items can't be resealed so you're left with goop. I would like Burt's Bees to make a full size facial kit with re-sealable bottles. The mudd mask (which is great stuff) a exfoliator and a moisturizer. Add that eye cream in too. Now that combination I would buy in a heart beat.

Lucky to sing along

This is an awesome addition to any Braid collection. This is such a great cd, made better for me considering that i was there at this show. it was my first time seeing them, kinda ironic, no? well, either way, i was floored at the show, and it totally continues and is heard in this cd. All the energy is there from the full lengths and then some. If you need more evidence of the great show they put on, they now have a video of the last few days of the band. it includes clips from their last five shows, Milwaukee, Fireside(chicago), Metro, Fireside "not so secret secret show", and then back to Champaign where it all began. Also ther are interviews from band members. Yeah, so, if you like the band even just a little bit, then you will grow to love this cd, just try to keep the tears welled up inside.

Someone from my highschool

This CD is great if you like Sloan, I saw these guys in concert when they opened for Sloan, and the lead singer from Sloan said "It is embarassing to have them open up for them cause they were so good." Anyways this is a great CD I highly recommend you pick it up as soon as possible.

Great Idea, Poor Quality

I purchased this item to give as a Christmas gift. Decided to check it out and try product before giving. One of two required batteries will not stay in, and battery cover keeps falling off. Also, light flicks off by itself not remaining on as it should. This product is a great idea, however very poor quality.

Ugh, a disappointing waste of money.

Yuck. I like industrial (as well as techno), and I love Metallica, so I had high hopes for this series of albums, but I am now convinced that never the twain should meet. A few tracks were OK (hence the 2 stars), not great, while several were downright awful and unlistenable. Instead of re-creating a song in an interesting way as a good cover should, it seemed like they attempted to 'industrialize' it merely by screaming the vocals and adding more noise to the guitars, it is really just very bad, and it only made me want to listen to the original Metallica (or some other Industrial like Ministry that does not attempt to do Industrial by taking good music and ruining it with unimaginative noise and screaming...) argh. Anyway, not recommended.

Note: This is not Metallica

Well Cleopatra's done it again. If you liked the remixes of AC/DC, Smashing Pumpkins, ext. This is a must have. Sorry Metallica fans, this just isn't Metallica. But for Industrial bound head bangers, this CD is a must. Apoptymga Beserk Does a good job on fade to black with a definate Techno feel. The rest of the Album is very well done, despite Clee's most noticable flaw, low lyrics, they need to shove up the PA on the bands vocals.This is a good techno-feel to Metallica, but its not really Metallica and I can't stress that enough. The female Vocals for the Unforgiven remixes and Low Man's Lyric is awe-inspiring.So if your a die hard Metallica fan and a industrial-tech freak, this is a good buy, but be weary, this is not Metallica.

WHY?

My reaction is simply why take one of the most gifted bands ever.... and turn there heard heart piercing riffs and low growling vocals soft... in my opinion it makes a mockery of metallica.... not a tribute....

This album is complete crap.

I'm sorry to say, but this is possibly the worst thing i have ever heard. As a hardcore metallica fan, i think this is nothing but an insult to the band. I can't believe that they would massacre the songs like that. I believe metallica is possibly one of the greatest bands to ever have played, and they are musical geniouses in my mind. Don't get me wrong, i don't disrespect techno musicians,they're good in what they do, i just don't think that they should have anything to do with metallica songs. Now i think alot of you will not agree with my opinion and say "but it's not supposed to sound anything like metallica" different=yes good=no. Now korn's cover of metallica's one on mtv icon different=yes good=yes. It's too bad you can't give the product 0 stars, because that's exactly what it would be getting.

Depends....

For me... it's really bad because I'm not and will not ever be a true lover of the electronic music... I bought this CD so I could see the contrast between this and that, and how would these bands interpret Metallica's music. For you guys that love this kind of musics (electronic) I think this is a good album, and its a plus to know metallica in that case... In my opinion this songs stink as a stand-alone record. I hope this is helpful to you

Hard to Believe

I'm only 1/3 the way through this book and I have a hard time believing this story. Robert's brushes with danger read too much like a bad script to a "007" film, from motorcycle and car chases to his harrowing flight into Cuba with David Ferrie. In another chapter Robert is tortured by Cuban intelligence in his hotel room. This of course, only after he satisfies another one of his lovers. Many of those cast in the book are familiar characters, but Robert's interaction and dialogue with these people often comes across as quirky.This book comes across as an exercise in self-indulgence and delusion and I doubt I will finish it.

Don't blow it off just yet....

The main complaint the people below seem to have against Morrow is his arrogance and so-called encounters with women (this is a normal trait for many in that line of work anyways). If you get past that, the book has much infomation and details of the political and intelligence perspective/views of that time. Morrow's dealings with the underworld is quite interesting, and his chapters on the Kennedy brothers is very revealing. If Morrow threw in a few "007-ish" parts to beef up the story a little, just take it in stride. But the information he shares about the D.C community and main figures of that era is quite fascinating. I definitely recommend this book if you have any interest in JFK assassination history.

This is real insight, excellent.

This is all so interesting, but who ordered and allowed the CIA to direct the hit on JFK. The head of the CIA would have been told what and where. Hoover was up to his scrawny neck in it, so was Lyndon and Nixon. I'd like to know who ordered it. So much for big business, undermining the intelligence of the ordinary American with wheeling and dealing and determining who lives and dies. It appeared to be like a game of dominoes with consequences beyond a laymans comprehension. They have no right, as good peoples lives have been cut short because of it. Its all very well to mention Marcello, Gambino family, Roselli, Hoover and half of the CIA, but who were the so-called respectable moneyed persons pulling the strings? Thats the mystery. Otherwise great reading.

You buying a magazine

Basically you are buying a magazine, not a book. You will read it once if you are absolutely new to ASAP and then you will never return to it. If you take this book and "SAP Planning - best practices in implementation" (the opposite extreme with 700+ pages but very good) and combine them together and then split in half - you will get something absolutely unbeatable.

Great inro into a complex subject.

This intro to physical oceanography is both approachable and easy-to-read, just like a good intro should be. I would recommend this text to anyone who wants to learn more about what drives ocean circulation. Potential readers should be beware that physical oceanography is, at its core, a quantitative science and this text reflects this. If you really want to follow the text, be prepared to break out your calculus book, a pencil and some paper.

A good text for an intro physical oceanography class.

Knauss provides a very readable text that includes the topics that are traditionally covered by a one semester course in introductory physical oceanography. The author includes the appropriate mathematical expressions without overburdening the reader with difficult or extensive notation. There are certainly other texts that fill that need. Knauss takes credit for what the text accomplishes, which is considerable, but also takes resposibility for the limitations of the text.

This book is a classical to study Physical Oceanography.

My opinion about this text is a excellent book from beginner students in the sea sciences. It have the foundaments of thePhysics in the sea: Water masses, salinity, temperature, tides, waves, upwelling, sinking, currents in the ocean, motion equationsand tables to computer some properties of the sea water. The book index is pefectly order for any students with thebackground knowledge in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The autor explain very good the properties of the sea water inthe first chapter, specially, the concepts of salinity, "in situ" temperature and potencial temperature, density, sound velocity andrelationship between them. The motion equations are excellenty decribed, separating the differents terms as gravity, density,Coriolis and friction. All basic principles are related in this text but they need refresh with new standards in the Oceanography.

Great Book for Serious Java GUI programmer

This is one of the most helpful book that I had bought in helping me doing a java GUI in Swing. It is definitely not a book for beginners or for those who are starting to learn about JAVA Swing. It is reference for serious programmer who want to resolve some UI problem or specific UI requirements.It had provide ample examples in which the programmer could capitalize. The only drawback is that it tends to be a bit long winded at time and reader may get lost. That why the book deserved a 4 instead of a 5.

Should be titled: how to write an editor using swing

This book's title makes you think it covers SWING. It actually only covers a limited subset of things that can be handled using swing. If you're looking for a general purpose book stay away from this one. This might be useful if you're trying to write a text editor using swing. For the stuff it covers it might be useful but it covers very little - mostly it just collects dust on the shelf.

Problems with this book

The book is entitled Core Swing and I bought the book believing it to be so. However, it is not this. Rather it is a collection of chapters on very specific problems which are of limited relevance unless you wish to solve these very specific problems. I managed to extract a few things which I could generalise but really the book needs to be written in a much more general way and then modify the examples to be more general and put them in an appendix. I followed the procedures on customing DND to other components and could not make it work (I believe not bothering to do this will though). JTrees are used as an example for moving data between applications. Who would want to use this in such an obscure way?

Academic Blathering

I bought this book looking for a good Swing reference and tutorial (my previous experience with Swing has been taking the free short course on-line from SUN). I like a book to introduce concepts, and then explain them with examples in the most clear and concise manner possible. Instead, what I found in this book was a bunch of long, rambling discussions, similar to many of the lectures I received in college. If you want to learn Java Swing, this book is definitely not for you!

Warning...More like a GUI design book than a swing book

The book spends about 80% of it time discussing problems involved in GUI designs which is totally not what the title of the book states. I bought this book because I was looking for a swing reference book that covers the definitions and has small demo code blocks of the swing components. This book cheated me by its "fancy" name. Not recommended.

BOOOO HISSSS.......... Come on, developers deserve better.

A whole chapter on JTables and not mentioning much about the tables. There is more focus on BigDecimal and Doubles than on how a table works.Why don't you write this chapter again and talk about. 1. How a Table works. 2. What a TableModel is and how it Works. 3. What is a renderer and why would i need on. 4. Don't WORRY ABOUT CURRENCY, Write about tables.Also, if you want to make a practical example.DON'T USE: Object[][] as the basis for your table without explaining which array is thr row ant which is the column.Build a custom object like one that might be used in the REAL WORLD and write about that.class CostElement { short id; String name; int Price; }now define a table full of CostElement[] objects. Now THAT, would be practical.This book does not adequatley address the relevant topics to make it meaningful. think I'm going to return my book. It is of no use to me.Terry

Excellent DVD with lots of goodies

I recently bought this DVD over the weekend and loved it. KSE is a talented group of just plain fun good guys who make some incredible music from the founders to the band as it is now this DVD explains the bands origins and how they came to be. Excellent concert and the music videos were a good plus.If you love metal get this DVD to appreciate some of the foundation of Metalcore.

Excellent overview of what KsE does

The concert is well recorded and well filmed. You can see how skilled they are as musicians - the guitars aren't just brutal, but they are intricate and interweaving. Howard is just an amazing vocalist with huge stage presence. The documentary is a huge bonus, not just talking about the development of the band, but also demonstrating their camaraderie and solidarity with other similar bands (many of which you may find yourself wanting to hear). A must for metalcore fans.

KsE

This is Killswitch Engaged's first ever dvd. Is it good? NO! It's great! It has all the bands videos, a full concert of over an hr of songs they play live as you all know. And there Bio of how the formd and became a band. This dvd is really great, gives you a lot of info you might not know and or already know, but it is still a very good cd. Even has Corey from SlipKnoT in it. Which I must say is quite cool. A lot of funny stuff on that dvd too. If you are a KsE fan or just love roadrunner records pick this dvd up!
