0	Lovable nerds of metal	I'm a fan of KE when I listen to them but not when I see them perform. Too much posing, horns in the air, and cheerleading. My advice....keep listining ..just dont watch. They are good people though.	negative
1	best music dvd ever	This is hands down the best metal/hardcore music dvd ever! If you've ever seen killswitch live you know they never dissapoint. If you haven't seen killswitch this is the perfect product to introduce you to them. The sound quality is excellent, as is the video coverage. Killswitch is the bbest band in the scene today, possibly ever. In this dvd they play almost every song from the first two major releases. Do yourself a favor and buy this dvd.	positive
1	Killer DVD - Half Live, Half Doco	Its strange that this DVD is mainly advertised as a Live DVD when in fact the documentary side of it is longer than the live performance.But anyway, the live performance (70 min) is immaculate, like some people have mentioned, maybe even a little too perfect. But hey, I'm not complaining at all. Great Setlist with Amazing audio and video quality. Album perfect quality.Then comes the documentary (around 84 min) which is a very detailed biography covering the band since before they were a band to nowadays, featuring interviews with the band members (including former singer and drummer) and a lot of people from other bands. Informative, highly entertaining and pretty funny.Add to that all of the band's videos and you got a terrific DVD experience. If you remotely like KsE, there is no way you'd regret getting this. So do yourself a favor and get it.	positive
1	Setting the standard of excellence from the start.	Killswitch Engage isn't for everybody. People into softer music might find them too hard and true metalheads (whatever those are) probably find them too soft. That's the beaty of KSE though. For most of us, their hard edge backed by melody is enough to draw fans of all genres. Those who are fans are diehard though. A great combination of energy and songs filled with emotion.{Set This} World Ablaze is an amazing DVD. A solid DVD filled with not only an amazing on stage performance but a surpisingly good Documentary of the band. I didn't even expect a documentary about the band on this DVD, but boy am I glad it's there.The documentary is the gem of this DVD and that's saying a lot considering how good the performance on stage is. It was great to see the evolution of the band. It's especially good to see how they still have such a good relationship with Jesse David Leach, former frontman of KSE.	positive
1	Solid Debut DVD!!	After seeing what Lamb of God did with their Killadelphia DVD, I was thinking that since they pretty much set the bar for excellence in video and audio quality for a concert DVD, I may be disappointed, not so! Aside from not giving us a 5.1 mix, the audio was dynamic and sounded superb, although nowhere near as "raw" sounding as a live performance probably due to some studio "touch ups". Either way you get an awesome sounding stage spectacle and a fun look inside the band from several interviews with the members as well as perspectives from other bands in the genre. This DVD was fun, entertaining, and as a fan of hard rock and all it's sub genres, pure eye and ear candy!!!	positive
1	Best Live DVD Ever Released	Killswitch's first dvd is all that I expected and more-- it features an amazing 75 minute concert with a great set list featuring many old and new songs. The concert is very good, as usual Adam D. and the rest of the band own live with great stage prescence (Adam D. does pushups during one break in the song), and the documentary is even better. The documentary is also over an hour long and talks about the bands history, starting from when the members were in separate bands, and tells you anything you ever wanted to know about Killswitch Engage. And you won't be let down by the bonus features! Buy this DVD you will watch it over and over again.	positive
1	Perfect Instruction along with a Beautiful presentation	Having this resource available is a great tool toward the goal of Self realization. A very well put together resource for presenting to a Western mind the true spirit of the Yogi and its attainment.	positive
1	Bhagavad Gita for beginners	This is an excellent introduction to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, the most important Hindu scripture, presented in an easily understandable and digestible form, taking the form of a thought provoking dialog between the supreme being Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield before the start of the Kurukshetra war. The conversation is interspersed with music giving time to contemplate on the contents of the philosophical text. It is easy to listen to and very thought-provoking inviting further study.	positive
1	MYSTERY:BIRACIAL KILLER OF COPS	Slow moving at first but graduallypicks up speed, If you don't putit down, it will flow smoothlyuntil you can't put it down!Louis Kincaid is a black ex-cophired by wife of man found brutally stabbed to death, facebeaten to a pulp with traces ofblack spray paint. The scene is one of the Florida Keys; if you'vebeen there you know the beauty ofthem. Police chief Dan Wainwrightcalls for help from the FBI butfeels insulted when a profilershows up. Several more cases turnup before they finally decide thekiller is a light colored biracialperson and try to find out hisreason for the killings. A bit ofpsychology involves the problemsfaced by some biracial people.Interesting theories and smartdetective work.	positive
0	A rare clunker from Tem.	A haunted nursing home -- not the sort of thing I'd have picked up on sight, but I loved the three other books I've read by Melanie that I was willing to try anything. As one of the blurbs states, she is unequalled in the realm of familial horror.It's a disappointment -- and a surprise -- that this novel is dull for the most part. Occasional hauntings permeate the book, but most of the story is concerned with the mundane lives of the home's inhabitants. If you're interested in that sort of thing, maybe you'll like this book more than I did. The pace doesn't change until the end, a sudden and inexplicable conclusion that doesn't satisfy on any level. THE TIDES lacks the gripping psychological drama of PRODIGAL or the imaginative reinvention of horror standards of WILDING. Let's hope her next novel is up to par.	negative
0	The Tides	I am impressed with anyone who will sit down and take the time to write a novel, and I am an avid reader, but this was so bad, I had to stop at 50 pages.The writing was well done, it was the story that was bad.	negative
0	I didn't get this one	Rebecca is the new administrator at The Tides nursing home. She is in way over her head (no pun intended) as she is too young and inexperienced to run the home. Also, her father Marshall is a patient there and he is being haunted by his ex-wife, Faye, who cases massive mayhem among the patients at the home resulting in deaths, etc., etc. If Faye a ghost? A demon? A powerful manifestation of Marshall's memory? Actually, I am not completely sure. That is never really explained. Also never really explained is what the drained lake behind the nursing home has to do with Faye, or anything else for that matter. I could be suddenly stupid or something, but I am not totally sure exactly what happened in this book, even after I read it. Don't get me wrong. The book was fairly entertaining and a fast read, but afterwards I was thinking, "huh?" Not up to Melanie Tem's usual standards.	negative
1	Fabulous flappers!	I referred to this book extensively while writing my historical novel, SLAPSTICK (LTDBooks). Since I also collect vintage clothing from the Edwardian era through the '30s, it also came in handy for dating and authenticating my own collection. This book has it all, from underwear to children's clothing.	positive
1	Great book for the 20s!	This book is probably my favorite book on the 20s. It is very informative with dating and prices and the pictures are great!	positive
0	Alarmist Junk	The author is obviosly an ACLU zealot who sees every facet of America's government as something from an Orwellian nightmare. Worthless junk. Save your money and buy a comic book instead.	negative
1	Excellent Guitar work	Starting off right from the get go. Derek Trucks works his magic on the title track. He teams up with his wife Susan Tedeschi for the song Baby You're Right (previously done by Joe Tex and James Brown). He has Solomon Burke in for vocals on 2 tracks Home In Your Heart and Like Anyone Else. Kam-Ma-Lay has a guest appearance form Rueben Blades on vocals an obvious Spanish styled song. After listening to this CD it is no wonder that Rolling Stone selected Derek Trucks #16 out of the top 100 Greatist Guitarists of all time.	positive
0	Does not live up to the title track	A Joyful Noise starts out with a track of the same name and quickly reinforces the choice of purchasing this disc. The problem is, it quickly dissolves into a cacophonous mess. There is not much in the way of "Joy" where this noise is concerned.I was completely disappointed. I expected so much more having heard the title track on a "loss leader" disc last year. Save your money.	negative
0	AWFUL	THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST CD I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I PURCHASED THIS CD BECAUSE I AM A HUGE ALLMANS FAN, THIS CD ATTEMPTS TO COPY THE ALLMANS STYLE AND IT DOES'NT EVEN COME CLOSE, A BETTER TITLE WOULD BE "JUST NOISE"..DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.	negative
1	the only slide player to nail the Sacred Steel feel	This is an amazing album. I am a steel guitarist playing in the Sacred Steel tradition, and Derek's playing completely floors me in his touch, his tone, his control, his feel. Without a doubt the best slide player I have ever heard. I simply had not known that the slide guitar was capable of so much sensitivity and complexity. What is most impressive is Derek's artistic judgement ... and play with feeling. My only criticism is that the album displays so many facits of his playing that it doesn't seem to have a unifying theme, but that it minor indeed. What an amazing musician.	positive
1	Full of Passion	The players' passion for their music clearly comes through in this CD and you can hear the amazing rapport between the instruments. The pianist has dazzling technique and the tone coming out of the strings is warm and rich. Displaying their versatility and the difficulty of their repertoire, the Saint Michael Trio's "Debut" is a treat.	positive
1	I have no idea how many times I have listened to this album . . .	. . . I'm sure I've heard that Mendelssohn (Track 3) more than 400 times. Love the Debussy, John Williams. It's all so good.	positive
0	Junk	This product consists of a stand to set your DVD on and two bottles of cleaning products. The stand is too small to be of any use. The cleaning products are very messy and include very poor instructions.I was hoping for a product that I could put a disk in and have it cleaned, not a stand and two bottles of cleaning solution.In short, this is junk. Don't buy it.	negative
0	I havent received	i havent received these itens. I WILL BE WAITING. What that i have to do? there is something wrong, i cant wait more	negative
1	no preservatives and fast to make	my little boy loves this meal, he has been able to eat it by him self since he was 11-12 months. it only takes 30 second to heat which is great. foil can be a bit hard to tear off.today he is 20 months old and eats what everybody else eats, but he still gets these for lunch once in a while, and he really gets exited when he see's his choices in the cabinet, and promptly go for this one, we have 3 different ones as well, but this one is preferred....he loves food, and was it up to him he would be eating this all day long ;-)	positive
0	Not a hit	I thought this would be a easy way to get a quick dinner for the baby & for babies used to eating processed food this may work but my granddaughter will not eat more than 2-3 bites before she turns up her nose and shakes her head no. I have found it much easier to just cook her small amount of veggies and cut up cooked chicken that she can finger feed herself and she is much happier.	negative
0	No Really....	First of all, how can the author possibly justify reviewing his OWN book here and giving it 5 stars???? Not only is that tacky, but it reeks of financial desperation.I just got done reading "The Bad Boys Win" about the 86 Mets, it was much more enjoyable. It did have a few typos, but it wasn't that important because it wasn't a book that was designed for facts and figures.But, an "Encyclopedia" SHOULD be as accurate as humanly possible. This book wasn't.I agree with the other reviewer, the best part of this book was the pictures.	negative
1	Invaluable Info for Manhattan Parents!	As a parent and former admissions advisor, I have relied on this book for many years. The author provides key information about each school, along with all the essentials of the admissions process. Every other year, she does a thorough update of the information. If you are applying to a New York City private school, this book is a must-have. You will refer to it over and over again. Make sure you have the latest copy as you go through the process as admissions contacts at the schools change pretty frequently. I highly recommend Victoria Goldman's book. Karen Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles	positive
1	Excellent hikes in Phoenix area	I gave it only four stars because there's a lot of information he could have given that he did not give, but still, given the limits of the format, this is one of the better books on hiking in the Phoenix area. Most books either cover a few of the most popular hikes or cover a small area. This one covers a small enough area to include both the popular hikes and some lesser-known hikes (and even a few off-trail hikes for those wanting the true wilderness experience), while still covering enough ground to keep you from being bored. Don't make it your only book (I recommend "Hikers Guide to the Superstition Wilderness" as well as the Forest Service publications), but if you're in the Phoenix area (or planning to hike there) this book is definitely worth buying.	positive
1	Emotional, contemporary pop	Olio - is very fresh and par excellence contemporary pop album, mixing of different music influences (1999). Mina's voice is still clear and strong, her singing - full of passion.	positive
1	Ria's story	Readers who enjoyed Jean Brashear's "Coming Home" probably already know that "Forgiveness" tells the same story from the viewpoint (mostly) of Malcolm and Cleo Channing's daughter, Ria. Returning to her childhood home four years after her irresponsibility led to her beloved younger brother's death, Ria must face the fact that her wounded family has fallen apart. Reeling from guilt and running from herself, Ria seems to want only to provide a safe haven for her young son. But in reality she yearns for the forgiveness she has not yet learned to grant herself.Like its prequel, this is a powerful story. It is only slightly diluted by the fact that some passages are repeated verbatim from "Coming Home." One of its strengths is a much greater role for Sandor, whose love helps Ria find her way to forgiveness.	positive
1	Pinking Shears	We were really happy to find the pinking shears on Amazon. We had been hunting for them in several stores and had no luck. These shears are just what we needed. We were very happy with them when they came. Just what we needed.	positive
1	Deadlines = Awesome	These guys have so much talent. Death rock organ completes an awesome package these guys put together out of death-rock and punk. 'Last Nail in Your Coffin' and 'Dead Indeed' are some of the best songs around. Its quite near impossible to listen to this CD and not hum 'Go Go to the Graveyard' for days afterwards.	positive
1	Better then I expected	In the 8th grade, I was a huge Misfits fan, loved them, and I had a friend who gave me a collection of Misfits songs, and one of the songs on the cd was "Vampires in Love" and I thought it was a Misfits song, even though I did think it sounded a bit out of place, but years later, I find out it's a Deadlines song, I look up their other stuff on youtube, which wasn't the easiest thing to do, and I decided to buy this cd.If you're a Misfits fan, if you like Calabrese, you'll like this cd, it's a great cd, with great catchy songs, I've listened to it countless times. A really good buy, happy I dished out the money for it, can't find this on torrent sites.	positive
0	Christian Horror Punk? Huh?	This CD sucks so much I can't believe it. I bought this because I heard a bunch of people comparing them to the Misfits. Absolutely terrible. The music in general is bad enough already having NO originality, but the whole Christian thing just throws it over the edge. The lyrics try to mix zombies, death, graveyards, darkness, and...Jesus!	negative
0	If you're avoiding the essentials, you'll try anything.	Drink only pure,unfluorided water, eat only whole fresh raw fruits and vegetables, exercise every day, get some morning or late afternoon sun everyday, and get enough sleep and rest. If this doesn't help, -then- start looking for the wierdo cures if you must, but nothing will undo the problems of the Modern Western Lifestyle except no longer living the MWL. I think Gabe must have been fasting a little too long when he wrote this book. Fantasy. To those who testify here on behalf of Tachyon products: I've happened upon a few 'Tachyonized' items, and gave them a try...nothing happened. Your results are the exception, not the rule.	negative
0	Tachyon Energy: A New Paradigm in Holistic Healing	this book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from doing a little research on the web. It's just like the 'natural cures' book... you get it and inside it's just a big advertisement trying to get you to buy more... buy more. Try going to your local bookstore and ordering it from them. When they call you to pick it up just tell them you want to thumb through it first and make your decision from there. I mean unless you have piles of cash to burn. You don't need any flippin tachyon disks. Just start investing in some personal development. DO something and stop reading about it or buying things to do it for you. Invest in yourself. You'll never go wrong there.	negative
0	High-Tech Pet Rock	I think a tachyon exists, and I am excited about the idea, but there is no evidence of a patent on Tachyonization Process, and no evicende that the aura pictures are even real. If the technology worked, there would be a patent for it, the FDA would make them do trials, and it would take a year to get it onto shelves and into hospitals. Here's a pet rock that's an antenna for Tachyonized energy--someone's got to do the proof. I do not recommend Tachyonized products--especially the 15 drops of Tachyonized Water (from sugar).	negative
0	Book and Product are BAD!!	If you are interested in energy healing and all of that - wonderful. I am too. After having studied at Barbara Brennan School, I was curious about tachyon crystals. When initially installed in the room - at the four corners - the feeling was almost giddy. But quickly my heart chakra closed up and I was unable to expand. The crystals created a sort of prison. I am very worried about this technology becoming prevalent. It is not hocus-pocus. It does have an affect. In some situations it may be healing. However, please note that this is not something to use if you are a seeker, or if you are spiritual in any way. This creates an energetic PRISON! You are much better off to use naturally created (grown from the earth) crystals that have not been "infused" with anything!!!	negative
0	Skip It	I agree with the reviewer who writes that it is just an ad for 'tachyon' products. It is dense and pseudo-scientific throughout and tries to separate itself from all the excellent books about energy by proclaiming 'tachyon' energy as somehow different and fundamental to all other kinds, when at the core all energy is one and is known by many names.About the chakras and the meridians (again referencing earlier reviewer): the book Energetic Anatomy by Mark Rich shows very clearly the connections between the two - acupuncture points are like very tiny chakras. This book is a much more valuable reference if you are interested in what can be done with energy.Overall, spend your money elsewhere.	negative
0	Save your cash ...	Its like so often in "real" life - some dude has an insight and doesn't get it that he does not need to bend science and common sense in order to construct a new world-view (or, in this case almost a religion with the inventor as the savior) around it. I have used "tachyon" products - they work for selected issues (mostly muscle and tendon problems). Truth is, nobody knows on what principle this stuff works - but rather than being honest and admitting it a hair-raising new world-view is invented with quotes from "real" science to support it not only out of context but also WRONG. The latest I have heard is that Mr. Wagner, the top honcho, has now become a professor in his self-made university (no joke, check his website!). I was personaly witness of Wagner's dishonesty on more than one occasion and can only suggest to stay away from him. This book contains no valuable information whatsoever.	negative
1	I had this book in the 60s and for kids it was funny	I got one of the original 2000 insults book in the 60s through my school as a scholastic book. We all thought the insults were funny. Yep, it's dated. Folks did you really expect an old cheap joke book to be some sort of transformational masterpiece? Why don't you see it for what it is: a glimpse of the anthropology of '50s & '60 satire? Personally I still use a few that I remember from back then, my favorite that still goes down brilliantly is: "I bet mind readers charge you half-price".	positive
1	It will leave them thought-less!	You will make them feel like they should have never messed with you!	positive
0	WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!! THE BOOK IS COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!!	The book is absolute, 100%, ......I can't believe I wasted my cash on this stupid book. It shouldn't be on the market. The jokes, put-downs, and insults are extremely corny and severely lame.TRUST ME! STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!	negative
1	Tender, Funny, Authentic Voice	A wonderful, authentic voice; hard to put down.Page after page will resonate with anyone whohas ever lost someone or can't keep hold of aparent, or claim the peace and connectednessthey instinctually deserve. The writing isfresh and vibrant. Totally funny in parts, runningup against pathetic, dissappointing characters. I was engrossed in thenarrator's yearnings and laughed and smiled alongthe way.	positive
1	Reminiscent of "White Oleander"	Places To Look For A Mother is about a girl named Lucy and her relationship with her family, particularly her mother. The novel takes Lucy through about twelve years of her life and even more moves. The jacket might make Miriam Taylor appear almost glamourous, but she is FAR from that. In fact she is probably manic-depressive, definately a compulsive liar, hard to live with, impossible to sympathize with, and all around completely unstable and selfish.The book was good but frustrating too, like watching someone stay in an abusive relationship. My only complaint is that the novel didn't really end and I felt like there was a lot of important things left out. But it was definately an experience, and I especially liked the "places to look for a mother" parts.god save my enemies from such a mother!	positive
1	A compelling portrait of our need for parental approval	I picked this up at the library last week because they didn't have anything I'd come looking for. There is a moment of excitement in picking out a book you have never heard of, like letting the waitress pick your order at an unfamiliar restaurant. I was not dissappointed with my choice! The mother in this book is deliciously antagonistic, in a way that will have your heart breaking for Lucy. It speaks to the human condition of longing for a parent's approval no matter the way one is actually treated. I did find myself at times floating above the story, not completely submersed in the action, as if the author witheld some vital bits of information that you would need to fill in some of the gaps. However, I enjoyed the voice of Lucy overall, and look forward to reading more of Nicole Stansbury's work.	positive
0	Avoid this Novel if You Have Similar Trauma	A minority opinion, no doubt, but unless you have completely resolved any relevant "dysfunctional family" issues, my advice would be to avoid this novel like the plague...The chronic emotional, and sometimes physical, abuse to which two daughters are subjected by their disturbed, unstable mother is gut-wretchingly painful, at times disgusting, and, contrary to one of the book's publicity blurbs, not at all funny--if you have "been there, lived through that."psychotherapist/survivor	negative
1	Life in Lincoln's Land	In this collection of essays Professor Guillory does an outstanding job reflecting upon rural and small town life in central Illinois. Whether ruminating on Lincoln, pick up trucks, old cars, favorite restaurants, narrow two lanes, and the tasks of restoring an old home, Guillory displays a keen and literate sensitivity to his adopted, beloved land. Recommended for those who appreciate graceful, thoughtful essays on rural themes!	positive
0	Truly awful book for discussing so many nobodies	The part about the plain soldiers of the revolutionary war being dealt with so much in detail is boring and tedious. Better to have written about the founding fathers of the US Army who were at least colonels in the army's birth.	negative
1	Comprehensive introduction	This is the best modern introduction to those kooky early Covenanters. The book goes through a pretty detailed political history, and allows you to get a narrative and a view of all the personalities involved. There is unfortunately no bibliography, but the footnotes are detailed. Stevenson's thesis is that the Scots rebelled against K. Charles because they were interested in defending themselves and securing liberty from English domination. I personally don't care much for the thesis, but it is more or less the orthodoxy on the Covenanters.	positive
1	One of my favorite albums!	If you're lookin' for Motorhead's version of the 50's, this ain't it! If you want to hear today's rockers playing the songs that formed rock'n'roll the way they were originally played- here ye go! You can tell the fellas on here really loved & believed in what they were doing. Lemmy proves that he really can sing as well as the shout, scream, & growl that we're more used to from him (granted, he's still got his own voice- he's no Waylon!)The only negative mark I'd give the album is the last two tracks- instrumentals that are out of place and lost w/out Lemmy (wouldn't have minded hearin' Lemmy do "heartbreak hotel")- in fact, they sound more like muzac than rock'n'roll! Which is probably why they were left off the remake of this album "Fool's Paradise". And why the heck didn't they do "Rave On"?Anyhow, buy it!	positive
0	A Good Idea gone Bad	Don't get me wrong, I love 'The Stray Cats' and 'Motorhead' but this CD does not work for me. Lemmy is by no means an outstanding singer but within Motorhead, his vocal style works and could not be replaced. I expected this album to be along this line: Full-force power versions of old Rock'n'Roll classics, especially having Slim Jim being part of the project. But instead, they try to stay very close to the originals and this is where Lemmy's voice just doesn't cut it. There is no track that stands out so better save your money and buy Motorhead's 'Rock'n'Roll' album instead !	negative
0	Cut the crap!	Mostly covers of Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. I don't know what the hell is this, but absolutely not a good record. Idea is good, Lemmy's singing is good, arrangements are poor and production is very bad. Trying to be authentic? Hope not! "True Love Ways" and "Heartbreak Hotel" are the most horrible things I've ever heard!	negative
0	Motörhead and Stray Cats	This is clearly more fun than good. On this side project Lemmy revisit his musical youth, singing more or less obscure rock `n' roll covers. I don't really know whom this album is for, since the average Motörhead-banger most likely won't be into this kind of rock leaning toward rockabilly. And I'd suppose that rock `n' roll lovers don't care much for Lemmy.	negative
1	more than deserving of its accolades	A wonderfully fascinating book, which not only illuminates its subject's life, but any life of a reader and a writer. This bio does more than just offer a story of Woolf's live, it offers an artistic, thought-provoking look at life as seen through books, through early 20-century England, through the beginnings of Modernism. Through it all, is an exploration of the idea of trying to capture a life in a biography or in a novel, which enriches one's understanding of Woolf, and of writing about people in general.	positive
0	This rating is for the non-academic	This is almost certainly a great biography for Woolf scholars, but anyone else should keep looking. It assumes you have an encyclopedic knowledge of Woolf's life, writings, and historical context. I respect Lee's achievement, but it's actually kind of unbelievable how completely she disregards the need for any sort of explanation of anything. Why not take the time to make all this work more accessible? Where were her editors?	negative
1	I didn't want to put it down	Recently lost my son and I think this is a good book. It talks about different experiences and situations, your feelings, grieving, being angry... No matter the way you lose your child, you are broken hearted.	positive
1	Best book that I've read	Out of the dozens of books I read after losing my daughter prematurely, this was the one book that i couldn't put down till it was finished. It was so helpful to me and to my husband. It was nice reading other people's experiences too. I found this book so helpful that i will be donating copies to the hospital where our daughter was born so other grieving parents can have a copy of their own. It's a wonderful book...	positive
1	A very sensitive and helpful book on infancy death!	After giving birth to my son and having him die 10 days later, I was so confused asto what I was supposed to be feeling."Empty Cradle, Broken Heart" helped me to understand what I was feeling and mademe realize that I was not alone, and that what I was feeling was normal.By using quotes from bereaved parents, the reader realizes that they are not alone in their thoughts.It encourages the reader to examine how they feel and accept their grief.This book helped me through the saddest and most difficult period of my life.A copy of the book was lent to me, and I was so impressed by it that I ampurchasing my own copy to refer back to it later in my life.An excellent gift idea for a close friend or relative who is going through a similarsituatation, or read it yourself to understand how that person is feeling.	positive
1	The best loss book I read after the death of my son	I read so many books after my oldest son died, scouring libraries for the few they had and trying to decide between the myriad options on the internet, and I can honestly say that this was the most helpful one I read. It was very emotional and difficult to read at times and sometimes I had to put it down and come back to it later- sometimes after half an hour, other times after weeks, but I was so grateful to have it after my son's death and if I had been prepared and known we were going to lose him, I would have made sure I had it earlier, rather than a few weeks after he died.	positive
1	"You are not alone"	Deborah Davis is truly helping parents to express and understand the emotions and turmoil of losing a child. It is very comforting.	positive
1	Lovely, Elegant & Comfortable	Lovely heels. Elegant, well made, and well priced. Comfortable and very flattering: they look equally wonderful with a gown or with jeans and a t-shirt.	positive
0	clear heels	I was excited to try these out for my pole fitness classes. I have to say that they are not as great as I had hoped! :( The soles came apart from the shoe base after 1 wear (I had to gorilla glue them back down). Also they stretch a lot so it causes a looser fit on the foot which was not a desirable affect. I think next time I will try the Pleaser Brand or another since these just didnt stack up to what I had hoped!	negative
0	An Idiot's Surprise	This is the kind of horror where the bad guy is lying on the ground and the scream queen on the run has an iron bar but misses his head when she tries to hit him even though the killer is half-dead. Then she just runs away. Everything is set down in a subway with about 4 characters. People stand with their backs turned near open windows while the killer is on the loose. Yeah, it is that bad. The story makes absolutely no sense.	negative
0	A movie with no plot	This was supposed to be a horror movie, but instead provided no suspense at all. During the entire film, the character encounters sudden attacks, and just runs about the tunnel, and swearing a lot. In the end, a genetically altered creature shows up, and then gets killed. The film never explained about our creature. Overall, the actors are not good-looking, the scenes are redundent, and the plot is absolutely missing. This is a really cheap way to get money out of making films.	negative
0	Please don't do it.	This is one of the most poorly scripted, acted and shot films I have seen in recent years.The start was fantastic, slick, stylish, full of promise.It was downhill from there.The story was weak, the 'Creep's' origins were vague and ill defined, the plot sketchy, the Creep himself not bad - but without motivation or anything I could pick up on.What a waste of what could have been a good story - turned it off mourning the time I had wasted, not a good movie, in fact probably infamous now for it's poor quality.Did he eat people? was he jealous of their perfection? Was he a science project gone wrong? The film left too many unanswered questions.	negative
1	Are you Serious???	Seriously, I dont know why people have rated this movie so low? I watched this movie not expecting too much because most foreign horror flicks are dissapointing for me. Suprisingly I was way wrong.....the acting was GREAT and the "slasher" theme of it (which is not really well done these days) was awesome!!! I haven't see a good slasher flick in years....until now! I was on the edge of my seat most of the time and the "Creep" was well...really creepy. There is much left to your imagination and interpretation but thats what makes a great horror film in my opinion. If you know too much it kinda loses its mystery. Now I'm not really going to say too much about the plot because other reviews have done so, but I will say if you like dark, demented, on-the-edge of your seat entertainment with a little slasher gore thats not CHEESY than you will LOVE this movie!!! Go see it anyways if you dont, definatly will add this to my horror collection!!!	positive
0	A rental at best (spoiler warning)	After falling asleep and being locked in the subway station Franka Potente and others are pursued and dispatched by a deformed maniac who curiously travels with his own entorage of rats. The acting is decent but the story is full of plot holes and cliches. The "operation" scene was creepy but too little too late to save the film. I suggest watching the alternate beginning which was a helpful backstory of the film but was unfortunately left out. It would have filled in some of the plot holes. If you are a horror fan like me then you will probably rent it anyway out of curiosity but you are probably better off watching it when it comes to the sci fi channel.	negative
0	Forgot I Even Had This Film	I got to be honest, this film is just another mediocre though competent torture/slasher film with a deformed antagonist, except he lives in London's sub-way, not in the woods by the lake, in your dreams, or busted out of the insane asylum. That is why I forgot I had it.The director (did a little research) got the idea for this film from "An American Werewolf in London" subway scene, which just by it's self is totally superior to this film.I'd be interested in his other films, but this one is a rental only.2 1/2 Stars = Fair	negative
1	;0)	This was a good movie, wasn't sure at first but as the movie progress it got a little better, a woman name Kate was in a London train station at night feel asleep and awoke to find herself alone with the train station closed, until something in the tunnels started killing whomit finds in the train station.	positive
1	Creep is a classic horror movie	Creep is a classic scary horror movie about a monster living in the sewer and subway tunnels in London. Creep is the deformed son of a doctor. He kills his victims in many interesting ways but he is especially cruel to woman. He takes women to a creepy operating room and slices them open. Creep is ultimately a survial horror movie. Kate played by Franka Pontente falls asleep on a subway platform and has to survie a night with a monster trying to kill her. This movie held my attention through to the end. Creep is a must see for all horror fans.	positive
0	Like The Hills Have Eyes meets Midnight Meat Train but...	This movie starts out OK but is one of those movies that gets simply agonizing to watch because the protagonist (the otherwise likable German girl) keeps doing the same stupid move one time after another, just so what... the director can extend the suspense? I guess. But that doesn't work, it just makes you start to hate the movie. Man, when you have the opportunity to completely take out the monster/enemy, you don't just give it a little whack then half-heartedly limp along, you make sure that thing can never get up and come after you again! This movie gets a big FAIL for insulting the audience and treating both the audience and lead character with disrespect. Back to class with you.	negative
1	Most credible study on gun control	This is by far one of the best books I have read on the subject. It dispells many if not all of the myths about gun control and why it doesn't work.I am pro-gun and bought the book to keep up on the FACTS and not the fear mongering and speculation spouted by those against guns.Buy it for an anti-gun friend. You may just turn them around.	positive
1	Who should read this...	Most of the news we see every day is favored toward showing the use of guns as bad. Whether this is because of a media plot to condition the public against guns, or because, in general, the people who work for the mainstream media are horrified by guns is not the point. What this book does is give us the other side of the debate, a side that needs to be heard.Anyone who is caught by the day to day onslaught of the media bias against guns, but has an open mind and thinks they should have both sides of the story, should read this book. Anyone who instinctively knows that guns are the basis of all the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and would like a better understanding of that, should read this book.Anyone else, it will be a waste of your money.	positive

1	"Less guns, less crime" would be a better title!	John Lott writes in a reasonably credible fashion. He's clearly got to an immense amounts of trouble to collect his data and his conclusion must make a lot of sense to a lot of people.Unfortunately, I could not find the very most central part of his argument. Does CCW licensing lead to "More Guns" on the streets?John Lott leaves the question unanswered. The answer might even be "No" - CCW laws lead to there being fewer guns on the street, in the hands of the law-abiding, than there were before!	positive
0	No basis in reality	I'm retired after 22 years in military service and I own guns at home. I am not at all in favor of hand gun control, but this guy is just a crackpot. There is no fact he can't invent to support what he already believes.There is nothing wrong with rational regulations for guns just like we have on cars. Unless you are the Unabomber and have some mental problem that makes you scared of the government there is no reason that we can't have a few minor checks to help keep guns out of the wrong hands.I don't mind waiting a week to pick up a gun while they check my background. I leave the rest to a great American:"It's just plain common sense that there be a waiting period to allow local law enforcement officials to conduct background checks on those who wish to buy a handgun."- Ronald Reagan endorsing the Brady handgun control bill, at a March 1991 event commemorating 10th anniversary of the assassination attempt.	negative

He "randomnly" called a little over 1000 people and made a conclusion for the entire nation. Can't do it with such a small sample. ... Lott uses statistics to confuse the naive and ignorant. Plus, he attempts to explain how the Taliban gained control of Afghanistan by confiscating firearms, yet never mentions the nation was and still is awash in guns. ...Lott uses "lies, damn lies, and statistics" to support his bias towards gun control laws and movements.

1	Outstanding, Real and Inspirational	This book will change your perception of the words beauty, courage, wisdom, wit, inspiration and transformation. It is a story about the evolution of a human being from girl to woman. It is the story of the transformation of a human spirit. Carole survived a horrific tragedy. By connecting with her beloved horses, she learned how to live, love, and give to herself and to others in ways that she did not dream were possible once upon a time in her early years. It is a story about her beloved horses, but it is also a story about rebellion, humility, and courage. Ultimately, it is a story about the acceptance of her humanity. Carole's honesty and forthrightness send a clear message about what beauty is really all about.	positive

He has no following, and those who get it quickly enough never come back. He works side by side with his wife. I do not know if they know they are charlatans, perhaps they believe what they teach, but they take your money, while claiming they don't need it (about 200 bucks) for a one on one with them in the remote places that they rent at your expense, and make you sign a waiver of rights so you cannot sue them later.

0	Alright	I agree with another reviewer in that this is not the best remix. Terri's vocals tend to be somewhat "dimmed" and replaced with heavy bass and other electronic type noises. On many parts of the songs, the orginal sounds don't mesh well with the remix additions. However with that said, the CD does offer a sort of dance type music, but I personally prefer Sacred and Profane.	negative
0	Re-mix ruins songs	I love Berlin, but these particular remixes sound too "Industrial". It takes away from the music and lyrics instead of adding something to them. The songs are pretty much de-constructed & I feel the original versions are better. I've heard MUCH better re-mixes such as with Whitney Houstons dance songs of last year.	negative
1	Blast from the past - WOW!	A fan since The Metro" days, this CD puts a new spin on the old songs. One word - Fantastic! Great to see Terri back and rockin.Each song is stylized and updated for today's sound. Done much the same way as Blondies - Remixed,Remade,Remodeled. There is not a bad cut off of this baby. I fell in love with the songs all over again.Buy it now and then go buy the live album - Sacred and Profane. Old fans won't be disappointed and new ones will see what the fuss was about. A must for your complete Berlin CD catalog, Thumbs up!	positive
1	The best book ever for applied math	This is the best book I have read on applied mathematics. It simply contains everything you would need to fully understand the theory and application of applied mathematics. The book is well written, while it requires general knowledge of linear algebra and matrix computation. The explanations in the book are very clearly stated and very understandable. Very very good reference for applied math. The material really makes a wonderful grasp on why and how to apply mathematics to some very demanding and complex structures that we deal with in science. Every serious applied math person should have this book on the shelf, it really deserves it.	positive

1	Great Saw for the price!!!	After a decent amount of research i bought this saw, and it hasn't disappointed so far. I gave it 5 stars, b/c of what you get for the price. Instructions aren't great, but you don't really need them anyway. Only thing i had problem with is bevel fastener has left handed threads, so i almost gave myself a hernia trying to loosen it. The laser is fantastic, and it was same price as one w/o laser. I made about 100 cuts w/it out of the box and all of them were perfect. And i only lost two fingers in the process(just kidding). Comes w/a 44T blade, but what saw does come w/ a decent blade. Wouldn't trust factory blade for a bunch of trim work, so i got a Freud Diablo 80T blade for just $50. My only regret is not buying a miter saw years ago.This saw feels like it will last, and is great. Didn't think i could get a decent compound miter saw for only $119.	positive

best music dvd ever

This is hands down the best metal/hardcore music dvd ever! If you've ever seen killswitch live you know they never dissapoint. If you haven't seen killswitch this is the perfect product to introduce you to them. The sound quality is excellent, as is the video coverage. Killswitch is the bbest band in the scene today, possibly ever. In this dvd they play almost every song from the first two major releases. Do yourself a favor and buy this dvd.

Killer DVD - Half Live, Half Doco

Its strange that this DVD is mainly advertised as a Live DVD when in fact the documentary side of it is longer than the live performance.But anyway, the live performance (70 min) is immaculate, like some people have mentioned, maybe even a little too perfect. But hey, I'm not complaining at all. Great Setlist with Amazing audio and video quality. Album perfect quality.Then comes the documentary (around 84 min) which is a very detailed biography covering the band since before they were a band to nowadays, featuring interviews with the band members (including former singer and drummer) and a lot of people from other bands. Informative, highly entertaining and pretty funny.Add to that all of the band's videos and you got a terrific DVD experience. If you remotely like KsE, there is no way you'd regret getting this. So do yourself a favor and get it.

Setting the standard of excellence from the start.

Killswitch Engage isn't for everybody. People into softer music might find them too hard and true metalheads (whatever those are) probably find them too soft. That's the beaty of KSE though. For most of us, their hard edge backed by melody is enough to draw fans of all genres. Those who are fans are diehard though. A great combination of energy and songs filled with emotion.{Set This} World Ablaze is an amazing DVD. A solid DVD filled with not only an amazing on stage performance but a surpisingly good Documentary of the band. I didn't even expect a documentary about the band on this DVD, but boy am I glad it's there.The documentary is the gem of this DVD and that's saying a lot considering how good the performance on stage is. It was great to see the evolution of the band. It's especially good to see how they still have such a good relationship with Jesse David Leach, former frontman of KSE.

Solid Debut DVD!!

After seeing what Lamb of God did with their Killadelphia DVD, I was thinking that since they pretty much set the bar for excellence in video and audio quality for a concert DVD, I may be disappointed, not so! Aside from not giving us a 5.1 mix, the audio was dynamic and sounded superb, although nowhere near as "raw" sounding as a live performance probably due to some studio "touch ups". Either way you get an awesome sounding stage spectacle and a fun look inside the band from several interviews with the members as well as perspectives from other bands in the genre. This DVD was fun, entertaining, and as a fan of hard rock and all it's sub genres, pure eye and ear candy!!!

Best Live DVD Ever Released

Killswitch's first dvd is all that I expected and more-- it features an amazing 75 minute concert with a great set list featuring many old and new songs. The concert is very good, as usual Adam D. and the rest of the band own live with great stage prescence (Adam D. does pushups during one break in the song), and the documentary is even better. The documentary is also over an hour long and talks about the bands history, starting from when the members were in separate bands, and tells you anything you ever wanted to know about Killswitch Engage. And you won't be let down by the bonus features! Buy this DVD you will watch it over and over again.

Bhagavad Gita for beginners

This is an excellent introduction to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, the most important Hindu scripture, presented in an easily understandable and digestible form, taking the form of a thought provoking dialog between the supreme being Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield before the start of the Kurukshetra war. The conversation is interspersed with music giving time to contemplate on the contents of the philosophical text. It is easy to listen to and very thought-provoking inviting further study.

A rare clunker from Tem.

A haunted nursing home -- not the sort of thing I'd have picked up on sight, but I loved the three other books I've read by Melanie that I was willing to try anything. As one of the blurbs states, she is unequalled in the realm of familial horror.It's a disappointment -- and a surprise -- that this novel is dull for the most part. Occasional hauntings permeate the book, but most of the story is concerned with the mundane lives of the home's inhabitants. If you're interested in that sort of thing, maybe you'll like this book more than I did. The pace doesn't change until the end, a sudden and inexplicable conclusion that doesn't satisfy on any level. THE TIDES lacks the gripping psychological drama of PRODIGAL or the imaginative reinvention of horror standards of WILDING. Let's hope her next novel is up to par.

I didn't get this one

Rebecca is the new administrator at The Tides nursing home. She is in way over her head (no pun intended) as she is too young and inexperienced to run the home. Also, her father Marshall is a patient there and he is being haunted by his ex-wife, Faye, who cases massive mayhem among the patients at the home resulting in deaths, etc., etc. If Faye a ghost? A demon? A powerful manifestation of Marshall's memory? Actually, I am not completely sure. That is never really explained. Also never really explained is what the drained lake behind the nursing home has to do with Faye, or anything else for that matter. I could be suddenly stupid or something, but I am not totally sure exactly what happened in this book, even after I read it. Don't get me wrong. The book was fairly entertaining and a fast read, but afterwards I was thinking, "huh?" Not up to Melanie Tem's usual standards.

Excellent Guitar work

Starting off right from the get go. Derek Trucks works his magic on the title track. He teams up with his wife Susan Tedeschi for the song Baby You're Right (previously done by Joe Tex and James Brown). He has Solomon Burke in for vocals on 2 tracks Home In Your Heart and Like Anyone Else. Kam-Ma-Lay has a guest appearance form Rueben Blades on vocals an obvious Spanish styled song. After listening to this CD it is no wonder that Rolling Stone selected Derek Trucks #16 out of the top 100 Greatist Guitarists of all time.

A Joyful Noise starts out with a track of the same name and quickly reinforces the choice of purchasing this disc. The problem is, it quickly dissolves into a cacophonous mess.

the only slide player to nail the Sacred Steel feel

This is an amazing album. I am a steel guitarist playing in the Sacred Steel tradition, and Derek's playing completely floors me in his touch, his tone, his control, his feel. Without a doubt the best slide player I have ever heard. I simply had not known that the slide guitar was capable of so much sensitivity and complexity. What is most impressive is Derek's artistic judgement ... and play with feeling. My only criticism is that the album displays so many facits of his playing that it doesn't seem to have a unifying theme, but that it minor indeed. What an amazing musician.

Full of Passion

The players' passion for their music clearly comes through in this CD and you can hear the amazing rapport between the instruments.

No Really....

First of all, how can the author possibly justify reviewing his OWN book here and giving it 5 stars???? Not only is that tacky, but it reeks of financial desperation.I just got done reading "The Bad Boys Win" about the 86 Mets, it was much more enjoyable. It did have a few typos, but it wasn't that important because it wasn't a book that was designed for facts and figures.But, an "Encyclopedia" SHOULD be as accurate as humanly possible. This book wasn't.I agree with the other reviewer, the best part of this book was the pictures.

Invaluable Info for Manhattan Parents!

As a parent and former admissions advisor, I have relied on this book for many years. The author provides key information about each school, along with all the essentials of the admissions process. Every other year, she does a thorough update of the information. If you are applying to a New York City private school, this book is a must-have. You will refer to it over and over again. Make sure you have the latest copy as you go through the process as admissions contacts at the schools change pretty frequently. I highly recommend Victoria Goldman's book.

Excellent hikes in Phoenix area

I gave it only four stars because there's a lot of information he could have given that he did not give, but still, given the limits of the format, this is one of the better books on hiking in the Phoenix area. Most books either cover a few of the most popular hikes or cover a small area. This one covers a small enough area to include both the popular hikes and some lesser-known hikes (and even a few off-trail hikes for those wanting the true wilderness experience), while still covering enough ground to keep you from being bored. Don't make it your only book (I recommend "Hikers Guide to the Superstition Wilderness" as well as the Forest Service publications), but if you're in the Phoenix area (or planning to hike there) this book is definitely worth buying.

Ria's story

Readers who enjoyed Jean Brashear's "Coming Home" probably already know that "Forgiveness" tells the same story from the viewpoint (mostly) of Malcolm and Cleo Channing's daughter, Ria. Returning to her childhood home four years after her irresponsibility led to her beloved younger brother's death, Ria must face the fact that her wounded family has fallen apart. Reeling from guilt and running from herself, Ria seems to want only to provide a safe haven for her young son. But in reality she yearns for the forgiveness she has not yet learned to grant herself.Like its prequel, this is a powerful story. It is only slightly diluted by the fact that some passages are repeated verbatim from "Coming Home." One of its strengths is a much greater role for Sandor, whose love helps Ria find her way to forgiveness.

In the 8th grade, I was a huge Misfits fan, loved them, and I had a friend who gave me a collection of Misfits songs, and one of the songs on the cd was "Vampires in Love" and I thought it was a Misfits song, even though I did think it sounded a bit out of place, but years later, I find out it's a Deadlines song, I look up their other stuff on youtube, which wasn't the easiest thing to do, and I decided to buy this cd.If you're a Misfits fan, if you like Calabrese, you'll like this cd, it's a great cd, with great catchy songs, I've listened to it countless times. A really good buy, happy I dished out the money for it, can't find this on torrent sites.

Christian Horror Punk? Huh?

This CD sucks so much I can't believe it. I bought this because I heard a bunch of people comparing them to the Misfits. Absolutely terrible. The music in general is bad enough already having NO originality, but the whole Christian thing just throws it over the edge. The lyrics try to mix zombies, death, graveyards, darkness, and...Jesus!

If you're avoiding the essentials, you'll try anything.

Drink only pure,unfluorided water, eat only whole fresh raw fruits and vegetables, exercise every day, get some morning or late afternoon sun everyday, and get enough sleep and rest. If this doesn't help, -then- start looking for the wierdo cures if you must, but nothing will undo the problems of the Modern Western Lifestyle except no longer living the MWL. I think Gabe must have been fasting a little too long when he wrote this book. Fantasy. To those who testify here on behalf of Tachyon products: I've happened upon a few 'Tachyonized' items, and gave them a try...nothing happened. Your results are the exception, not the rule.

Tachyon Energy: A New Paradigm in Holistic Healing

this book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from doing a little research on the web. It's just like the 'natural cures' book... you get it and inside it's just a big advertisement trying to get you to buy more... buy more. Try going to your local bookstore and ordering it from them. When they call you to pick it up just tell them you want to thumb through it first and make your decision from there. I mean unless you have piles of cash to burn. You don't need any flippin tachyon disks. Just start investing in some personal development. DO something and stop reading about it or buying things to do it for you. Invest in yourself. You'll never go wrong there.

High-Tech Pet Rock

I think a tachyon exists, and I am excited about the idea, but there is no evidence of a patent on Tachyonization Process, and no evicende that the aura pictures are even real. If the technology worked, there would be a patent for it, the FDA would make them do trials, and it would take a year to get it onto shelves and into hospitals. Here's a pet rock that's an antenna for Tachyonized energy--someone's got to do the proof. I do not recommend Tachyonized products--especially the 15 drops of Tachyonized Water (from sugar).

Book and Product are BAD!!

If you are interested in energy healing and all of that - wonderful. I am too. After having studied at Barbara Brennan School, I was curious about tachyon crystals. When initially installed in the room - at the four corners - the feeling was almost giddy. But quickly my heart chakra closed up and I was unable to expand. The crystals created a sort of prison. I am very worried about this technology becoming prevalent. It is not hocus-pocus. It does have an affect. In some situations it may be healing. However, please note that this is not something to use if you are a seeker, or if you are spiritual in any way. This creates an energetic PRISON! You are much better off to use naturally created (grown from the earth) crystals that have not been "infused" with anything!!!

Skip It

I agree with the reviewer who writes that it is just an ad for 'tachyon' products. It is dense and pseudo-scientific throughout and tries to separate itself from all the excellent books about energy by proclaiming 'tachyon' energy as somehow different and fundamental to all other kinds, when at the core all energy is one and is known by many names.About the chakras and the meridians (again referencing earlier reviewer): the book Energetic Anatomy by Mark Rich shows very clearly the connections between the two - acupuncture points are like very tiny chakras. This book is a much more valuable reference if you are interested in what can be done with energy.Overall, spend your money elsewhere.

Save your cash ...

Its like so often in "real" life - some dude has an insight and doesn't get it that he does not need to bend science and common sense in order to construct a new world-view (or, in this case almost a religion with the inventor as the savior) around it. I have used "tachyon" products - they work for selected issues (mostly muscle and tendon problems). Truth is, nobody knows on what principle this stuff works - but rather than being honest and admitting it a hair-raising new world-view is invented with quotes from "real" science to support it not only out of context but also WRONG. The latest I have heard is that Mr. Wagner, the top honcho, has now become a professor in his self-made university (no joke, check his website!). I was personaly witness of Wagner's dishonesty on more than one occasion and can only suggest to stay away from him. This book contains no valuable information whatsoever.

I had this book in the 60s and for kids it was funny

I got one of the original 2000 insults book in the 60s through my school as a scholastic book. We all thought the insults were funny. Yep, it's dated. Folks did you really expect an old cheap joke book to be some sort of transformational masterpiece? Why don't you see it for what it is: a glimpse of the anthropology of '50s & '60 satire? Personally I still use a few that I remember from back then, my favorite that still goes down brilliantly is: "I bet mind readers charge you half-price".

Reminiscent of "White Oleander"

Places To Look For A Mother is about a girl named Lucy and her relationship with her family, particularly her mother. The novel takes Lucy through about twelve years of her life and even more moves. The jacket might make Miriam Taylor appear almost glamourous, but she is FAR from that. In fact she is probably manic-depressive, definately a compulsive liar, hard to live with, impossible to sympathize with, and all around completely unstable and selfish.The book was good but frustrating too, like watching someone stay in an abusive relationship. My only complaint is that the novel didn't really end and I felt like there was a lot of important things left out. But it was definately an experience, and I especially liked the "places to look for a mother" parts.god save my enemies from such a mother!

A compelling portrait of our need for parental approval

I picked this up at the library last week because they didn't have anything I'd come looking for. There is a moment of excitement in picking out a book you have never heard of, like letting the waitress pick your order at an unfamiliar restaurant. I was not dissappointed with my choice! The mother in this book is deliciously antagonistic, in a way that will have your heart breaking for Lucy. It speaks to the human condition of longing for a parent's approval no matter the way one is actually treated. I did find myself at times floating above the story, not completely submersed in the action, as if the author witheld some vital bits of information that you would need to fill in some of the gaps. However, I enjoyed the voice of Lucy overall, and look forward to reading more of Nicole Stansbury's work.

Avoid this Novel if You Have Similar Trauma

A minority opinion, no doubt, but unless you have completely resolved any relevant "dysfunctional family" issues, my advice would be to avoid this novel like the plague...The chronic emotional, and sometimes physical, abuse to which two daughters are subjected by their disturbed, unstable mother is gut-wretchingly painful, at times disgusting, and, contrary to one of the book's publicity blurbs, not at all funny--if you have "been there, lived through that."psychotherapist/survivor

Life in Lincoln's Land

In this collection of essays Professor Guillory does an outstanding job reflecting upon rural and small town life in central Illinois. Whether ruminating on Lincoln, pick up trucks, old cars, favorite restaurants, narrow two lanes, and the tasks of restoring an old home, Guillory displays a keen and literate sensitivity to his adopted, beloved land. Recommended for those who appreciate graceful, thoughtful essays on rural themes!

Comprehensive introduction

This is the best modern introduction to those kooky early Covenanters. The book goes through a pretty detailed political history, and allows you to get a narrative and a view of all the personalities involved. There is unfortunately no bibliography, but the footnotes are detailed. Stevenson's thesis is that the Scots rebelled against K. Charles because they were interested in defending themselves and securing liberty from English domination. I personally don't care much for the thesis, but it is more or less the orthodoxy on the Covenanters.

One of my favorite albums!

If you're lookin' for Motorhead's version of the 50's, this ain't it! If you want to hear today's rockers playing the songs that formed rock'n'roll the way they were originally played- here ye go! You can tell the fellas on here really loved & believed in what they were doing. Lemmy proves that he really can sing as well as the shout, scream, & growl that we're more used to from him (granted, he's still got his own voice- he's no Waylon!)The only negative mark I'd give the album is the last two tracks- instrumentals that are out of place and lost w/out Lemmy (wouldn't have minded hearin' Lemmy do "heartbreak hotel")- in fact, they sound more like muzac than rock'n'roll! Which is probably why they were left off the remake of this album "Fool's Paradise". And why the heck didn't they do "Rave On"?Anyhow, buy it!

A Good Idea gone Bad

Don't get me wrong, I love 'The Stray Cats' and 'Motorhead' but this CD does not work for me. Lemmy is by no means an outstanding singer but within Motorhead, his vocal style works and could not be replaced. I expected this album to be along this line: Full-force power versions of old Rock'n'Roll classics, especially having Slim Jim being part of the project. But instead, they try to stay very close to the originals and this is where Lemmy's voice just doesn't cut it. There is no track that stands out so better save your money and buy Motorhead's 'Rock'n'Roll' album instead !

Cut the crap!

Mostly covers of Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. I don't know what the hell is this, but absolutely not a good record. Idea is good, Lemmy's singing is good, arrangements are poor and production is very bad. Trying to be authentic? Hope not! "True Love Ways" and "Heartbreak Hotel" are the most horrible things I've ever heard!

Motörhead and Stray Cats

This is clearly more fun than good. On this side project Lemmy revisit his musical youth, singing more or less obscure rock `n' roll covers. I don't really know whom this album is for, since the average Motörhead-banger most likely won't be into this kind of rock leaning toward rockabilly. And I'd suppose that rock `n' roll lovers don't care much for Lemmy.

more than deserving of its accolades

A wonderfully fascinating book, which not only illuminates its subject's life, but any life of a reader and a writer. This bio does more than just offer a story of Woolf's live, it offers an artistic, thought-provoking look at life as seen through books, through early 20-century England, through the beginnings of Modernism. Through it all, is an exploration of the idea of trying to capture a life in a biography or in a novel, which enriches one's understanding of Woolf, and of writing about people in general.

This rating is for the non-academic

This is almost certainly a great biography for Woolf scholars, but anyone else should keep looking. It assumes you have an encyclopedic knowledge of Woolf's life, writings, and historical context. I respect Lee's achievement, but it's actually kind of unbelievable how completely she disregards the need for any sort of explanation of anything. Why not take the time to make all this work more accessible? Where were her editors?

A very sensitive and helpful book on infancy death!

After giving birth to my son and having him die 10 days later, I was so confused asto what I was supposed to be feeling."Empty Cradle, Broken Heart" helped me to understand what I was feeling and mademe realize that I was not alone, and that what I was feeling was normal.By using quotes from bereaved parents, the reader realizes that they are not alone in their thoughts.It encourages the reader to examine how they feel and accept their grief.This book helped me through the saddest and most difficult period of my life.A copy of the book was lent to me, and I was so impressed by it that I ampurchasing my own copy to refer back to it later in my life.An excellent gift idea for a close friend or relative who is going through a similarsituatation, or read it yourself to understand how that person is feeling.

The best loss book I read after the death of my son

I read so many books after my oldest son died, scouring libraries for the few they had and trying to decide between the myriad options on the internet, and I can honestly say that this was the most helpful one I read. It was very emotional and difficult to read at times and sometimes I had to put it down and come back to it later- sometimes after half an hour, other times after weeks, but I was so grateful to have it after my son's death and if I had been prepared and known we were going to lose him, I would have made sure I had it earlier, rather than a few weeks after he died.

I was excited to try these out for my pole fitness classes. I have to say that they are not as great as I had hoped! :( The soles came apart from the shoe base after 1 wear (I had to gorilla glue them back down).

I think next time I will try the Pleaser Brand or another since these just didnt stack up to what I had hoped!

An Idiot's Surprise

This is the kind of horror where the bad guy is lying on the ground and the scream queen on the run has an iron bar but misses his head when she tries to hit him even though the killer is half-dead. Then she just runs away. Everything is set down in a subway with about 4 characters. People stand with their backs turned near open windows while the killer is on the loose. Yeah, it is that bad. The story makes absolutely no sense.

A movie with no plot

This was supposed to be a horror movie, but instead provided no suspense at all. During the entire film, the character encounters sudden attacks, and just runs about the tunnel, and swearing a lot. In the end, a genetically altered creature shows up, and then gets killed. The film never explained about our creature. Overall, the actors are not good-looking, the scenes are redundent, and the plot is absolutely missing. This is a really cheap way to get money out of making films.

Please don't do it.

This is one of the most poorly scripted, acted and shot films I have seen in recent years.The start was fantastic, slick, stylish, full of promise.It was downhill from there.The story was weak, the 'Creep's' origins were vague and ill defined, the plot sketchy, the Creep himself not bad - but without motivation or anything I could pick up on.What a waste of what could have been a good story - turned it off mourning the time I had wasted, not a good movie, in fact probably infamous now for it's poor quality.Did he eat people? was he jealous of their perfection? Was he a science project gone wrong? The film left too many unanswered questions.

Are you Serious???

Seriously, I dont know why people have rated this movie so low? I watched this movie not expecting too much because most foreign horror flicks are dissapointing for me. Suprisingly I was way wrong.....the acting was GREAT and the "slasher" theme of it (which is not really well done these days) was awesome!!! I haven't see a good slasher flick in years....until now! I was on the edge of my seat most of the time and the "Creep" was well...really creepy. There is much left to your imagination and interpretation but thats what makes a great horror film in my opinion. If you know too much it kinda loses its mystery. Now I'm not really going to say too much about the plot because other reviews have done so, but I will say if you like dark, demented, on-the-edge of your seat entertainment with a little slasher gore thats not CHEESY than you will LOVE this movie!!! Go see it anyways if you dont, definatly will add this to my horror collection!!!

A rental at best (spoiler warning)

After falling asleep and being locked in the subway station Franka Potente and others are pursued and dispatched by a deformed maniac who curiously travels with his own entorage of rats. The acting is decent but the story is full of plot holes and cliches. The "operation" scene was creepy but too little too late to save the film. I suggest watching the alternate beginning which was a helpful backstory of the film but was unfortunately left out. It would have filled in some of the plot holes. If you are a horror fan like me then you will probably rent it anyway out of curiosity but you are probably better off watching it when it comes to the sci fi channel.

Forgot I Even Had This Film

I got to be honest, this film is just another mediocre though competent torture/slasher film with a deformed antagonist, except he lives in London's sub-way, not in the woods by the lake, in your dreams, or busted out of the insane asylum. That is why I forgot I had it.The director (did a little research) got the idea for this film from "An American Werewolf in London" subway scene, which just by it's self is totally superior to this film.I'd be interested in his other films, but this one is a rental only.2 1/2 Stars = Fair

Creep is a classic scary horror movie about a monster living in the sewer and subway tunnels in London. Creep is the deformed son of a doctor. He kills his victims in many interesting ways but he is especially cruel to woman. He takes women to a creepy operating room and slices them open. Creep is ultimately a survial horror movie. Kate played by Franka Pontente falls asleep on a subway platform and has to survie a night with a monster trying to kill her. This movie held my attention through to the end. Creep is a must see for all horror fans.

Like The Hills Have Eyes meets Midnight Meat Train but...

This movie starts out OK but is one of those movies that gets simply agonizing to watch because the protagonist (the otherwise likable German girl) keeps doing the same stupid move one time after another, just so what... the director can extend the suspense? I guess. But that doesn't work, it just makes you start to hate the movie. Man, when you have the opportunity to completely take out the monster/enemy, you don't just give it a little whack then half-heartedly limp along, you make sure that thing can never get up and come after you again! This movie gets a big FAIL for insulting the audience and treating both the audience and lead character with disrespect. Back to class with you.

Most of the news we see every day is favored toward showing the use of guns as bad. Whether this is because of a media plot to condition the public against guns, or because, in general, the people who work for the mainstream media are horrified by guns is not the point. What this book does is give us the other side of the debate, a side that needs to be heard.Anyone who is caught by the day to day onslaught of the media bias against guns, but has an open mind and thinks they should have both sides of the story, should read this book. Anyone who instinctively knows that guns are the basis of all the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and would like a better understanding of that, should read this book.Anyone else, it will be a waste of your money.

John Lott writes in a reasonably credible fashion. He's clearly got to an immense amounts of trouble to collect his data and his conclusion must make a lot of sense to a lot of people.Unfortunately, I could not find the very most central part of his argument. Does CCW licensing lead to "More Guns" on the streets?John Lott leaves the question unanswered.

No basis in reality

I'm retired after 22 years in military service and I own guns at home. I am not at all in favor of hand gun control, but this guy is just a crackpot. There is no fact he can't invent to support what he already believes.There is nothing wrong with rational regulations for guns just like we have on cars. Unless you are the Unabomber and have some mental problem that makes you scared of the government there is no reason that we can't have a few minor checks to help keep guns out of the wrong hands.I don't mind waiting a week to pick up a gun while they check my background. I leave the rest to a great American:"It's just plain common sense that there be a waiting period to allow local law enforcement officials to conduct background checks on those who wish to buy a handgun."- Ronald Reagan *endorsing* the Brady handgun control bill, at a March 1991 event commemorating 10th anniversary of the assassination attempt.

Plus, he attempts to explain how the Taliban gained control of Afghanistan by confiscating firearms, yet never mentions the nation was and still is awash in guns. ...Lott uses "lies, damn lies, and statistics" to support his bias towards gun control laws and movements.

By connecting with her beloved horses, she learned how to live, love, and give to herself and to others in ways that she did not dream were possible once upon a time in her early years. It is a story about her beloved horses, but it is also a story about rebellion, humility, and courage. Ultimately, it is a story about the acceptance of her humanity.

Complete Fraud

I went to his seminar, it is flawed, inconsistent and very unbiblical. Author claims to posses previously unknown to God's creation knowledge that was revealed to him alone, describing spirits as objects that you can step on on the ground to be possessed by them. He has no following, and those who get it quickly enough never come back. He works side by side with his wife. I do not know if they know they are charlatans, perhaps they believe what they teach, but they take your money, while claiming they don't need it (about 200 bucks) for a one on one with them in the remote places that they rent at your expense, and make you sign a waiver of rights so you cannot sue them later.

I agree with another reviewer in that this is not the best remix. Terri's vocals tend to be somewhat "dimmed" and replaced with heavy bass and other electronic type noises.

However with that said, the CD does offer a sort of dance type music, but I personally prefer Sacred and Profane.

Re-mix ruins songs

I love Berlin, but these particular remixes sound too "Industrial". It takes away from the music and lyrics instead of adding something to them.

The best book ever for applied math

This is the best book I have read on applied mathematics. It simply contains everything you would need to fully understand the theory and application of applied mathematics. The book is well written, while it requires general knowledge of linear algebra and matrix computation. The explanations in the book are very clearly stated and very understandable. Very very good reference for applied math. The material really makes a wonderful grasp on why and how to apply mathematics to some very demanding and complex structures that we deal with in science. Every serious applied math person should have this book on the shelf, it really deserves it.

Im so sorry to have to do this. But I have ordered this product about 2 weeks ago when it was the last one in stock at a $29.99 price. I paid for 3-5 day shipping, and the money is already gone from my account. Here we are 2 weeks later no status update or indication that the item is on its way. I'm sure it is a great product. But I am still waiting.

Great Saw for the price!!!

After a decent amount of research i bought this saw, and it hasn't disappointed so far. I gave it 5 stars, b/c of what you get for the price. Instructions aren't great, but you don't really need them anyway. Only thing i had problem with is bevel fastener has left handed threads, so i almost gave myself a hernia trying to loosen it. The laser is fantastic, and it was same price as one w/o laser. I made about 100 cuts w/it out of the box and all of them were perfect. And i only lost two fingers in the process(just kidding). Comes w/a 44T blade, but what saw does come w/ a decent blade. Wouldn't trust factory blade for a bunch of trim work, so i got a Freud Diablo 80T blade for just $50. My only regret is not buying a miter saw years ago.This saw feels like it will last, and is great. Didn't think i could get a decent compound miter saw for only $119.
